Transcript

[A]

Oh, two of us. Hey, Sid.

[B]

Hello, Teresa. Babysitters. Hello.

[A]

Babysitters as well. How are y' all today?

[B]

It's nice to be back.

[A]

It really is nice to be back. Before we get started, though, we gotta just high five.

[B]

Cause we can. Because what about when we can't? We'll be looking back. Like, man, we should have just embraced more. We should adapt up more. We were right there. Now we're long distance. So much has changed, and it gets emotional.

[A]

Yeah. Speaking of emotions.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I really just want to take some time to thank the babysitters. And honestly, like, the outpour of just, like, kindness and support with me sharing my story has been really, really kind. And I want to thank you guys for, you know, just being supportive to a stranger. And I thank you all genuinely. Your words have meant so much. And also, if anybody can relate to what I'm going through, too, just know that, you know, I empathize with you. And, you know, I want to thank you for also being, like, such a great friend through this whole thing.

[B]

Like, I'm just. I'm, like, so happy. Like, I'm listening to you now and, like, I'm just watching how you were moving the past few days. Like, and obviously we have been talking about it, and I always wanted you to share, but that's not my place to ever tell you. But, like, I knew that because. Because it would be coming from you. It would be much more powerful when people finally heard it because they would see how you've been behaving. And it won't add up that, like, something was really wrong. And so the more time that went by, it almost made it, like, more of a study of how just different you are. You really just are very. Just. Just a beautiful spirit, you know? So, like, just seeing you feel good, like, I could tell you just, you felt empowered. You felt so much lighter getting that off your chest and just help in helping people. Like, I know that meant so much to you to read some of those comments, especially when you were doubting whether or not you should share how much you should share. People were, like, coming and trying to. Some trying to help.

[A]

Like, a lot of people were trying to help. And I was sobbing through these comments, like, you guys were so sweet.

[B]

You're about to cry right now.

[A]

I know. I really am.

[B]

I'm just like, I'm not today, though. Don't look at me.

[A]

Okay. Again, See, Tierra go. The thing is on, girl.

[B]

I'm getting a little unsupervised two episodes in a row. Unsupervised unsupervised.

[C]

Yeah, we say what we want and yeah, we say what we feel. Sitting tmp of the mix and they be keeping it real. On brand, off topic, out of pocket. Anything you need, they got it. Why don't you shop? You know they going to block it when it's game time and you know I'm going blocking. They will cover everything like harder than us. And yeah, we looking down on haters cuz they smaller than us and yeah, my flow is so damn sick I be coughing it up. You said that we going flat. Well then I'm calling your block.

[B]

Okay. That was better. That was. I don't know that we went that long before Pause.

[A]

No.

[B]

I'm about to be on my shit today. I can feel it.

[A]

I know this is about to be a great episode.

[B]

I'm still confident this is about to be an episode. You know why? Cause I got on his hat. Actually, I got on two hats. I got on a. I got on a fur and I got on a fitted. I got on a fur fit. And you're gonna know that you got that shit. You learned about that today. You hadn't seen nobody in the furfurfurt today.

[A]

Years old before you saw.

[B]

If you see anybody come out with a furfit and just try to name it something else. This is gonna be timestamped like. We will have posted this video. We know when Sid created it. We don't know how long it was even in Sid's mind, but we know when she posted about it, when she.

[A]

Went through with the actions.

[B]

So you coming out with the hat, mm, months later is suspicious. At the very. At the bare minimum.

[A]

I hope I don't see any furfits for this energy right here alone.

[B]

It is nerve wracking just thinking about it. My blood is boiling. Okay. My blood is boiling thinking that somebody's gonna try to steal my shit.

[A]

Do you think it's the warmth coming from the fur part of the hat?

[B]

Sometimes you be talking and when you say some stuff, I'll be like, this is.

[A]

I'm gonna have a show with her. That's what I think.

[B]

Sometimes I'm just like. Sometimes I'm just like, this girl is hilarious. And I get to have shows with you.

[A]

I'm like, our job is to hang out and talk and be goofy and laugh. But you guys also get to laugh too. So it's like fair, right?

[B]

But you keep making me laugh. Sometimes I'm like, you ever be with somebody you like? It's gonna run out though. You're not gonna keep me laughing forever. But so when they keep making you laugh. Oh, my God.

[A]

Every morning I wake up and I'm like, this is gonna be good. We are in Nashville for the next now five weeks. Which breaks my heart that we're only one week down already. But I'm like, every morning.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We just start with a completely made up scenario where we're either mad at each other or someone's gonna. I don't know. There's just a completely made up situation.

[B]

That we wake up with attitude sometimes or just like, it might be really nice and then it's really messed up the next morning. It's just like, what? It's like, you look like absolute.

[A]

Yeah. Yesterday when you said, hey, sorry if my breath smells like I just woke up from a nap, it's because I did. I haven't brushed my teeth yet. I said, okay, but don't lean over my shoulder and tell me this. Like, you can see whatever I was looking at from me, Like a safe distance.

[B]

But I just wanted to let you know that.

[A]

No, thank you for telling me that. And we.

[B]

So we start out, like, in a lot of different ways, but it's just so fun. We're just being ridiculous.

[A]

All day being ridiculous.

[B]

It doesn't stop.

[A]

And what really cranked it up was this week. I'm sure you guys saw the. The snowstorm that swept half of America.

[B]

We were like, where did they come from? Because at Christmas, for us in Houston, it was 70 degrees.

[A]

At least it was 70.

[B]

I'm talking about not only. There was not even a breeze at night.

[A]

It was hot.

[B]

Some. Some coolness that might come from the night is stale. All day.

[A]

It was so bad all day. Like, what do you wear to Christmas when it's 70 degrees? You can't wear Christmas. You don't have, like, your favorite Christmas tea. You just like. You can't wear a sweater. You would look out of place. You look out of place.

[B]

You're just going to be.

[A]

So what are you. What are you celebrating?

[B]

Well, it's like, this is my Christmas outfit, though. I got this ahead of time. I got to wear it no matter the temperature. I was. I was buying it, hoping that Houston would be a little cooler. I didn't think I would be sweating here.

[A]

You walk in with a fur coat. Seventy.

[B]

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. Like, you look crazy. But also, you know, it's for the fish.

[A]

You asked them if they can drop the AC to like 62 when you walk in. Like, hey, can y' all keep the Temp.

[B]

Cool.

[A]

They're like, yes. Sid, for some reason is requesting a lower temperature. You walk in with fur in a blizzard hat. Did you wear the fur fit in this hypothetical. Did you wear the.

[B]

Oh yeah, okay, I wore it. I didn't know I wore it.

[A]

But another thing about this snowstorm is we were essentially. We had a mini quarantine.

[B]

Yeah, we did. We were like three days.

[A]

Three days.

[B]

Three days. And we only. We were just walking outside to let the dogs use the bathroom.

[A]

Walking. They didn't even want to be out there though.

[B]

Like, no.

[A]

Barely remember when Pyre's feet gave out. He was like walking in the snow and then he just like gave up. He like froze and gave up.

[B]

That's what I feel like I would be like if the end of the world was coming. I'm like, I'm not fighting that hard to stay alive. I'm going be honest.

[A]

Like, I think I would fight. Okay. Hypothetically.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The zombies are among us and we're like, oh, yeah. I knew it was going to happen. Actually I don't believe in zombies, but I don't watch a lot of zombie movies. But the sake of the story. I knew that was going to happen. So we have to like steal a Jeep at this point. I feel like they always have a Jeep.

[B]

Which Jeep? Which Jeep?

[A]

I don't know, something with like a cage on it.

[B]

Okay, I got a grand Cherokee.

[A]

Okay, good enough.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So wait, is it black on black?

[A]

Is that what you got?

[B]

Huh? Yeah. Okay then. Perfect. I got the older one though. I don't. I don't want to get a new car for a long time.

[A]

It's like we don't trust new stuff yet.

[B]

I don't like new stuff. I want to get a. A old car with like the roll down windows.

[A]

My grandpa is still using his washing machine that was in hurricane Katrina. Like it somehow survived, like perfectly clean. We got it repaired. Oh, still works great. Well, from 05.

[B]

The washing machine though is used to water. At least it's not a dryer that got.

[A]

Yeah, I don't know what. I can't speak for the dryer. Anyway. Where did we go before this tangent? Where were we? The ice storm. So we're gonna have to add some pictures though because we saw some crazy. Oh yeah, the tree crazy. I've never seen anything like this. The branch. Imagine, like for all the audio, this is something that you're definitely missing out on.

[B]

Hey, audio.

[A]

No way you had that much attitude. I'll treat them hilarious.

[B]

Sorry, audio.

[A]

I love you guys, she really does love you guys. Like, she doesn't talk about.

[B]

I talk about y' all at home. I even talk about y' all when we leave here.

[A]

No, you don't.

[B]

No, no, I'm saying that in a bad way. I do. Like.

[A]

No, that's what I'm saying. In a healthy way. Like, you talk to their face, but you don't talk behind their backs.

[B]

No, I'm like, yeah, we. We with our listeners.

[A]

Yeah, we love you guys.

[B]

It's just a fun inside joke for the baby. They know the audio, so just play along. Don't be weird.

[A]

I like when we have to force stuff on. We appreciate you guys.

[B]

Everybody's doing it. Just be cool.

[A]

Like, don't act like anything's weird. Like, just keep going. You guys get it. Y' all can take a little heat every once in a while.

[B]

Y' all can't.

[A]

Healthy.

[B]

So, yeah, the fact that we were even having a snowstorm is where we were at.

[A]

Yeah. So that was crazy. The ice. Okay, so imagine my finger is the branch. The ice was all the way around, and you could see the branch fully capsulized inside of ice. But it didn't slip on like that. We saw the craziest stuff. Ice everywhere. The trees that were capsulated in ice. So many trees. Maybe you guys saw the exploding trees on Instagram or. Yeah, that was actually happening. We saw multiple.

[B]

Look, what if I was like, ooh, and they exploded trees?

[A]

I did this about the tree, and all of a sudden, you feel some kind of way about it.

[B]

I'm like, yo, tp, you seen them exploding trees?

[A]

You saw the way they threw themselves around. That's crazy. Like I said. Are you good? Treason actually hear you. We talked about this on the pod before. Anyway, we just saw some craziness. And it looks so cool, though.

[B]

It looked beautiful.

[A]

It looked gorgeous. I've never seen anything like. It look whimsical. And I've never used that word in real life.

[B]

Oh, my gosh. I really don't use it either. But it's like, yes, the ones that it had, like, fallen, it looked like they had just, like, had curls.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Or, like, hair coming down.

[A]

It was pretty until it wasn't. And it's unfortunate, I know, that they had to go. That's so many people are still without power. And also, today is roughly a week since it. Since the snowstorm or since we were able to start driving around and stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it was snowing again today.

[B]

Right.

[A]

They're predicting, like, a little bit more like A little lingering storm. I hope not. But hey, you guys are getting an episode, so don't trip.

[B]

Don't trip. We were able to go do some community service.

[A]

Yeah. That was awesome.

[B]

In Nashville and like with the conditions, you know, whether it's the, the temperature or just the climate in the world, we got to go just like get. Try to give back to do, do something to help.

[A]

Yeah. Today was AU's Community Day. Community day.

[B]

So we went to like pack up goods for people who are people with hygiene insecurity. Like two and five people here are hygiene insecure and so they don't have the, the, the resources. Like the stuff necessary to keep themselves up the funds.

[A]

Like they're either paying for their rents in their, in their food or they're.

[B]

Paying for shampoo because it's not covered by snap.

[A]

Snap benefits don't cover any hygiene based products. No. Feminine.

[B]

Which is crazy.

[A]

Products, which is insane.

[B]

Yeah. Which is crazy. Why is there a category that I can't get stuff I can only eat? If you're in need, you're in need. I'm in need. You think I'm only in need of food, dumbass. I need everything. Like you think that I just bought a bar of soap when I should have bought some spaghetti.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Or vice ver. Like what? I need everything. Everything that you need during your everyday life. Every single day. What are you doing? If you're eating food, I need to eat food. If you're with shelter, I need shelter. If you're able to. Whatever the thing is that every human does every day. Yeah, I need to be able to do that.

[A]

And quote the quote the self proclaimed greatest country in the world. People shouldn't have to pick and choose between a meal on the table.

[B]

Cuz like oh mom.

[A]

Or a shower.

[B]

I really want those shoes. Or how about a burger?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What?

[A]

That shouldn't be the.

[B]

Like I can't wear a burger, mom. And well, Doug. Doug wore a bird. Did you just watch? Did you just watch Doug?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Wait, was he the burger? Was he the burger or somebody else was the burger? I don't know. I thought he used to act like the burger sometimes so that he could eavesdrop on people.

[A]

Every time I see Doug though, I think of one person. I'm not gonna say this person, but.

[B]

I think you don't do that. I hate when people do that. You can't.

[A]

All right, final say it. Her name. Start with a C. Is it a C? That's all I'm saying. You can figure it out. Best answer Wins. But for real, though, you guys are funny. So I know that y' all come with some great answers sometimes.

[B]

I'm looking at some of our comments. I'm like.

[A]

I'm like, we're on the show. This is good.

[B]

Yeah, we might have some of y' all on the show.

[A]

No, seriously, we have to.

[B]

Shit's funny. Y' all act like y' all want to have a funny off with us.

[A]

Sometimes I think and I would be so down.

[B]

I would be down. We can definitely do it.

[A]

I love when people are funny.

[B]

That would be a fun ass concept. Just a comedy tournament. If somebody steals that, you know, they got it from me. It's just like we going from table to table, like battling who laughs first, who cracks. It's like speed dating. But we're doing like two on two comedy.

[A]

Okay. So we were just informed that it already exists.

[B]

Fuck.

[A]

So Sydney did create an original thought, but someone else already created, bro.

[B]

But do you know that that's. That's the stuff that happens to people in real life? I feel like it happens.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

If you have an idea that you don't act on, I feel like somebody.

[A]

Else in the universe gets that.

[B]

It's like, why you didn't act on that?

[A]

I hate that. You know what I thought of, like, back in the day? I swear on my whole life, when they were like, this is. Place yourself here. Babysitters.

[B]

Close your eyes, baby.

[A]

Close your eyes. Place yourself. When ring back tone drivers. Close your eyes. Imagine if you're driving. Just keep them shut. No, I'm just kidding. Don't. Please don't.

[B]

No, don't.

[A]

For real.

[B]

We're not liable.

[A]

We're not joking. Don't do it. Anyway, place yourself here and you can keep your eyes open if necessary. When ring back tones were hot. So for me, roughly 8th through 10th grade. And this is when you could start using, like, lime wire to put it on your phone. But your phone, your flip phone could only hold like three or four songs. You know what I mean? So you had to, like, pick the three or four that you wanted to make sure you ruined for yourself because you just played those four over and over and over and over again. Anyway, I created a thing because the phone wasn't loud in my head. I wanted to create something where if you had it on your phone and your. Our friend group all could download this thing on our phones and we could play the same song simultaneously for all of our speakers to be playing the one song that's on my phone. So essentially recruiting the speakers around you of the phone so that you have four times the speaker power rather than one. But I'm pretty sure that's a thing now. Like, there's good Bluetooth.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Back in the day, Bluetooth was fun, though.

[B]

It should be like that, though. I can't stand when the speaker's not loud. And it's like, oh, we got other phones. Like, surely we can increase this.

[A]

Like, that's another day's issue, Sid.

[B]

Yeah, well, it's okay.

[A]

Speaking of issues.

[B]

Yeah, please.

[A]

Hey, Sid, you know what brings me joy? Having my protein ready and available in the form of premier protein drinks. They are ready to go. Absolutely excellent. And the taste, top tier. And I've had a lot of protein shakes in my life.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So, Sid, I know you've been in the situations where you've just been in the hustle and bustle and your whole day just becomes one big blur, and before you know it, you realize you didn't eat breakfast, you need lunch. You're just going.

[B]

So many days.

[A]

For me, that's every day for me. Besides Sundays, I do take time to watch the saints. Other than that, I'm on the go constantly. When I'm walking my dogs, nothing easier than to grab a protein drink from Premier Protein. I'm walking, drinking, walking my dogs. But it's so easy and convenient. And you don't have to. You don't have to remember, you can just pack your thing in the morning and it's there all day. And you'll thank yourself later in the day for having that ready and available for you.

[B]

Yeah, for mine, I. I'm just always, like, going from thing to thing. Like, I'm going from. From rehab to maybe, like, a conversation with our, like, sports psychologist to another meeting to something else. And then like you said, a couple hours later, I'm like, oh, I haven't. I haven't eaten. Like, especially after a workout, which is the worst. But having these shakes with me, having premier protein shakes with me, chocolate specifically, has been a huge difference. Because with 30 grams of protein and tons of delicious flavors, Premier protein isn't just for those who get after fitness. It's for those who get after life. Tp. And you already knew that.

[A]

But, Sid, there's no better way to get 30 grams of protein in a single drink. 30 grams of protein is equivalent to eating five large eggs.

[B]

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, thank you for that tidbit.

[A]

Okay, so I don't know if you guys. We've been dealing with ice here in Nashville. The Natural kind. And then there's a very unnatural kind of ice that is sweeping America. Mainly focusing on Minnesota right now. And it's pissing us off. It's pissing off a lot of America.

[B]

It's like the kind of thing that. Keep going. My bad. Go.

[A]

No, no. Keep going.

[B]

No, no. Because, remember, I wanted to hear. I wanted you to give your take.

[A]

So I just think that we live in a place where we. Have so many double standards to where you can see things happening in real time. And also, like, we're in an age of technology where, like, there is no more mystery. Did the moon landing happen?

[B]

Maybe.

[A]

Yes or no. But I guarantee you if the moon landing were to happen today, there would be cell phones and shit to be able to back that. Also, we haven't been to the moon since. So I'm like, what's going on? Also, I saw this thing that they called the pre. The current president at that time on a phone.

[B]

Yeah. From the.

[A]

From the moon. That's long distance. That must have been an expensive call. Anyway, ice is, in my opinion, the biggest group of losers that you can find in the world. These were all guys that grew up being jealous that they didn't fit in, that they were, like, just losers and weird and insecure about everything they are. And built up a bunch of rage towards everybody that was just happy to live their life being themselves. And they first found.

[B]

And not just that, they're also criminals. And also, they're not just losers. A lot of them are pedophiles, rapists, murderers.

[A]

Bottom of the barrel, not upstanding civilians that should be posing as authority and as, you know, saving us. I'm scared of y', all, but I just think that it's, like, really sick that they first found refugee with the proud boys and all those loser groups. And now there's been a huge decline in proud boy gatherings or whatever y' all want to call it. Hangouts.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Little gay setups where all they. All the men gather.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And now all of a sudden, we have ice. A bunch of people with no rules, no morals, no values, no training, and a bunch. And a bunch of hate in their heart.

[B]

And a bunch of cocaine probably in their system. Cocaine amongst other drugs. Because that's what people have to do to do the things that you do. You have to be high, out of your mind mixed with some hate. I'm sure some of them are sober, too, but some of them, they. You're even. You're double loser because you're following the losers because your Self esteem is even lower than the other loser. Yeah, so you're a double fucking loser, but you're going with everything that they're saying, but you're just high so you just can get yourself through. Doesn't matter how you do it, you're still doing it. And it's.

[A]

It's sick, it's absurd. You guys are definitely not patriots. I don't know if anybody told you, but you guys are embarrassing and you guys are sinister and you deserve to rot in solitary confinement as soon as yesterday, actually.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, a lot of them really gotta be just put down on the spot.

[A]

I'm just.

[B]

We don't promote violence, but we don't. You know what though? People are always like, well, this is another reason too, why they loved MLK and what MLK preached. And I'm not saying that MLK preached anything that was wrong, but at a certain point, non violence does not work. It does not work with people who are actually hell bent on using violence against you. It's like basically, okay, if I saw eight people get punched in front of me, I'm gonna probably cower at.

[A]

Or just like step out of line.

[B]

When you get to me.

[A]

Yeah, Like, I feel like that's a normal reaction.

[B]

A normal reaction. Wait, what was I saying?

[A]

You were saying that they need to be put down on the spot.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Violent like so you preach, you preach non violence to people all the time. And even you look at the Democrats now, always just having like strong words of condemnation or like, you know, like disproval. But it doesn't.

[A]

Might do something though.

[B]

It's enough of just the words because at this point, things are willful for you all to have ignored and not fought back on by this point. It's beyond disgusting. But it's very clear. You may not be exactly on the same side with everything, but for the most part you're on the same side. They said Governor Waltz, whatever they had, they were buying people donuts in Minnesota or something. Buying like the. It was. Or the federal agents, like the. Oh my God, I don't remember if the National Guard was deployed there or what, but they were like getting donuts for people. And it's like, how are we feeding the people that are literally taking food out of people's mouths or like, don't care about doing that. Who are just outright killing people. Stop trying to show humanity to people who are not human. Yeah, these are not people. I don't know what it is, but I think to be called a human there has to be humanity within you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You can't just be a human because you look like me and you're walking and you move, you're doing everything like me. I don't know. But you learn how to replicate a human very well. Yeah, but there are forces in this world just like people think people are. I've said this before. If you believe that there are really good people and just oh, she was an angel on earth or he was a God sentiment. If you believe that that exists, you have to believe that the opposite exists. I can't just believe in up without believing in down.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There's an opposite for everything. And people are so naive. And Democrats pray. The Democratic Party preys on the fact that liberals are generally so moral. You usually have a bit of a moral compass that you're gonna lean on. So they keep trying to always appeal to humanity. Humanity. We're not dealing with human beings. Stop talking like we are.

[A]

And also, you can't show up to a gunfight without a gun. I mean, now you can't because this on the Second Amendment. I'm like, oh, it's bad. That was the only thing that you guys were riding on. You guys like were so.

[B]

I thought y' all cared about that.

[A]

Charlie Kirk, all that stuff. Like everyone that was posting when Charlie Kirk died. There's been a bunch of people that have been murdered through these ice raids that were should be speaking on their names and also bringing awareness to the fact that they were trying to help and push our country forward. There are some people that are sitting there praying on the fact that they can get rich and they're going to win, but everybody else around them is losing. Even the people that support that person is losing. And they don't care enough about everyone else around them.

[B]

And not just like a win and lose. Suffering. People are suffering and dying.

[A]

Yeah. Like you could live a life of non suffering or suffering. And if this person is winning, then they don't care if even their own supporters are suffering. As long as there's dollars in their pocket and there's power in their hands, that's all that matters. And I think it's so scary that we have people that still believe that our government would never lie to us and that things couldn't be false. Like we live in a place where when you were a kid, your parents, the all your, the people that raised you, the people that loved you and you know, sacrificed their time and their money and everything to like keep you on this earth alive and well, lie to you to protect you from things. Now, let's exchange that word protection for deception, whatever it is. But there's powers that be that don't have intent for this country in the way that we all want this country to go. We all want to have a flourishing, healthy, happy country. And people need to understand when word phrases are just that and if there's actual meaning behind that. And how do you. How do you decipher that, Sid? Oh, I know. Start listening with your eyes. See what's in front of you. See what's really happening, and then make a decision on what words you believe and not. Yeah, because there's real things happening that people would just excuse for the smallest, smallest little, I don't know, whatever that made them look away from it. Yeah, but I'm like, just.

[B]

It's just like a relationship. It's like we're watching. There are a lot of, like, citizens who are the, like, person in a relationship that has a partner with so many red flags, and they just keep believing in their potential. It's like, no, but like, he's a good guy, she's a good, good woman. Like, blah, blah, they could do. Yeah, but what have they shown you this many times.

[A]

They cheat on you. Not that people.

[B]

Not that people don't make mistakes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That people can't grow from stuff. But for the most part, do they make you feel good about yourself?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Does this feel like a relationship worth sustaining? Like, that's what a lot of citizens are. They're in an abusive relation relationship with this country. But, yeah, where we're. Where we're at now, though, is, you know, you and I have watched a lot of stuff and we've talked about it. There are so many people who are, like, now outraged and, like, now more scared because you now see what black people have been talking about for decades. For decades, people have been watching black people get killed in this way. How did Breonna, Taylor, George, Floyd, all of that stuff, Everything around the pandemic transpired because. So we've had a moment in history where we've seen there can be a reckoning. Like, something can come shake your whole world up. But we really didn't learn. We've gotten worse since then, actually. And it's like, it's exhausting for a lot of black people in this conversation right now, because people are at black people, especially black women. Like, y' all need to be caring. Y' all need to be, you know, advocating. We get your point, but get out here, blah, blah, blah. You don't have the space to tell us what to do. Everybody will get to a point where they feel like they can join the revolution. But we let it. We've let it forever. We've led it more than black men. So the issue is black women have been seeing this. We've been. Black communities have. Black and brown communities have been living under a fascist state.

[A]

Yeah, absolutely.

[B]

This is. This is new and a new kind of scary to everybody else. Because the past two victims looked like y'. All. Like, that's the reality. When it feels like it's a.

[A]

It's a different awakening when.

[B]

When you see your brother.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Or your co worker.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

And the person that was murdered on tv and you're supposed to go around acting like stuff is normal. Like that wouldn't trigger generations of people. So you wonder why people are asking for reparations. It all ties together. Y' all don't see black people as. People don't see. I'm not saying y' all like, Yeah, a lot of people do not see black people as fully human. And they don't realize just what white supremacy has done to them. It's. It's made you believe. In us. And it makes me emotional because even you have said, like, no, it's. It is way different. This is you, a person with, like, the kindest soul that I know. And you're very empathetic. Like, you do. You genuinely do the Black Lives Matter sign in your yard. The everybody deserves rights. Nobody. Like you do that stuff because you're a good person. If there were actually a person who could get away with saying, I don't see color, it would be you. I hate the fucking saying, but it would be you. Thank you for even you to realize. You said it. You're like, no, this is terrifying. You see how even you could have overlooked what black people are really, really going through.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

And you care about everybody.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

So people don't realize that white supremacy works in a sinister and evil way because it trickles down into everything. The propaganda in the media, the beliefs that you start to have about people that you're not even around. It's an illness. And people don't realize that that's been the pandemic of this country. Our racism. Our racism has been. And that's why what's going on right now. Black people are just like, I gotta take a break. Yeah, I'm exhausted.

[A]

The battle has been being fought for so long without. And also there's a lot of people that. It doesn't even come from a bad place. You like Myself probably don't even realize a lot of times that, like, how heavy it hits home and how much it impacts people. I've never in my life had a situation where I was not only, like, fearful for me being pulled away from my children, but fearful for my life if they found me. Like, this is. I know everyone keeps comparing what we're doing today to Nazi Germany, but, guys, open up your eyes. This is. We have people hiding.

[B]

They did. The Jewish people Germany, they learned. They learned from Jim Crow, south segregation. They. Everybody's like, such a great idea. This is. This is. This is turning into Germany. This is fascism. They literally scouted us and they were like, oh, I like how they doing that racist over there. But, like, they thought we were too crazy. You know how crazy that sounds? Y' all know what happened, and obviously, I'm sure you.

[A]

Everyone's heard of this.

[B]

Everyone's heard of this. So if those people were like, us looking kind of, okay, we got to steal. That's not good.

[A]

That's not good.

[B]

That's not good. Really?

[A]

And also, like, everything else going on in the world, too. I'm like, so you trust people that are doing this to people in our streets? Potentially trying to buy countries that aren't for sale?

[B]

Sleeping with kids, sleeping with children, assaulting.

[A]

Women, starting a third world war? Like, all these things don't sound like.

[B]

What I was causing an insurrection. Just a multitude of things.

[A]

Oh, what was that thing that happened a while ago?

[B]

On top of just not a smart person.

[A]

Dumb.

[B]

Also dumb as rocks. Vocabulary for you guys. Unbelievable. I didn't know that an adult could know so few words.

[A]

Whenever, like, you go see your grandma with dementia, and you're like, oh, my grandma does not have dementia much. Judy, I love you.

[B]

Oh, hi, Nana.

[A]

But whenever you go see her and they say some crazy stuff, you're like, g. They just have dementia. People are listening to every word that this guy says, and we're like, yeah, like, what? You don't even listen to your own family. You never met this man. You don't know if he's lying. Like, you trust this guy so much. You never met him, and he doesn't want to meet you either. Like, he doesn't care about you. You're just a number for him. But you trust what he's. That's crazy to me. Look at him.

[B]

Look.

[A]

Just look. Is that someone that you would listen to? Not me. Whenever he, like, in a couple weeks.

[B]

Did you see the scary picture of his hand and Nicki Minaj's nails?

[A]

I Hated that. I saw that scroll right past. I didn't even let my algorithm know that I was remotely interested in that vile picture. But a couple weeks ago, Trump said something along the lines of, and when I was president, bitch.

[B]

What?

[A]

As much as I don't want to be like, hey, you are like, I don't want to admit that you are somehow there, not my president, but I guess you do hold the office currently, unfortunately. You sick. Oh, my God, I hate that guy. I really do. I know you do, but I think that, like, with this. With this ice situation, everybody can do something. I'm not a gun person. I'm not a fighting person. I'm not going to go and try to battle my way and. But everybody can do something. If you are good at using your voice, do that. If you're. If you're reposting and just making sure the awareness is there, do that. If you. Cindy, you saw this woman that was making.

[B]

She. People had a list of, like, things that you could do, but, like, this. This speaks to what a lot of people, you know, make this point. Everybody wasn't at the front lines during, like, at every protest, you know, but people get in where they feel most moved to get in. Like, doing something is always better than nothing. If you're not, look for people who. This is new to you. You're not going to just step outside and be. Have a gun put to your face. Like, start with sending an email.

[A]

Like, send an email.

[B]

Take it easy to start. Not take it easy, but, like, start slow, you know, like, make a phone call. And some people call your senators. Some people. There's going to be that feeling within you where, like, you're nervous to say something around friends, around family, but if you got something in you that still cares, you still have humanity to preserve. Yeah. You should actually try to care for that and be willing to lose the friends and family that are making you feel like it's weird to care about people getting gunned the fuck down in the streets. Is that the kind of friend or family member you want? Like, people treat blood as way too close for me.

[A]

Right.

[B]

If I have a family member that does something outrageous, you gotta go. Like what People make it seem as family. Yeah. But family. Yeah.

[A]

No, he murdered someone. So, like, my family's also going to jail now, and I'm gonna be testifying.

[B]

But, like, just saying there is. Damn, where were we?

[A]

Just things that we can do to, like, fight the fight in your way.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So like the lady doing the spreadsheet.

[B]

Yeah, the lady Doing the spreadsheet. So on one of these posts, it was like one of the Minneapolis residents told us her former attorney mother helps to organize the venmos and donations. They get in for mutual aid and puts everything in a spreadsheet. Taking skills and redirecting their usage in these moments is powerful. So like, yeah, if you're somebody who's good with computers, like, this was on she is Imani B. On her Instagram or something. But there was another page where they were just suggesting what you can do that's in your capacity. Like, they're like, follow local. This was Brittany Packnett. Cunningham said there's something for everybody to do, no matter where you live. Follow local voices. You can follow journalists, activists, organizers, people who've been like, doing this stuff and amplify the voices that intentionally give preference to the marginalized people who have been in this fight. But they weren't getting the recognition. So, like, if you can blow people's pages up, blow up the right people, not just because somebody is famous or they look a certain way, like, this person has literally been doing this work since before anybody else was caring or before enough people were caring. So the armchair activism critiques, this is what one person said, that it holds truth. The armchair activism critiques that only take place online and in the comforts of your home, they're self righteous and frankly, not helpful. And there's, there's definitely truth to that. But like, as what I was saying about black people's feelings about what's going on, it's like, people are. You gotta realize people are tired too. So the way that, that we fought for so long, it's time for other people to lead the fight.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, but I think that people don't have to keep condemning people just because they're late. It's like when people find out about a new artist in. This is an extreme exaggeration because some of it is like, you should have been caring about this. But all right, we're here. But like, if I find out about an artist. But they've been having like a very niche fan base for like three years. And those fan bases, they're like, man, y' all didn't know about them. Y' all just found out. It's like, yeah, but like, yeah, but.

[A]

Now I do know.

[B]

Now I do know. And like, I want to listen and support. Right? So let people listen and support. But people who are people who are joining late don't come in trying to tell people what the fuck to do either. Like, just get in line, ask what you can do. And most importantly, start believing what black women say. Because every time we get in a bind in this country, it's because we just look back and we're like, well damn, black women were saying black women might be psychic. Bitch. Start listening.

[A]

Seriously. Also, we could add a black woman president and half the country really screwed it up for us. Like now look, are we great yet? Are you guys happy?

[B]

And it's not to say there wouldn't have been problems but. But I always going to be. But I hate when people are like y' all are just choosing the lesser of two evils. That is unfortunately the world that we're dealing with. Until, until, until people decide to probably just like band together and go third party and make Democrats really feel a bang. That is what you have to deal with right now. But people got to get on the same page before we change because we don't have a two party system. It's some weird shit going on.

[A]

There's a lot. There's a lot going on. But like it's just like saying like pain is pain. No, there's like a paper cut pain and then there's like a terrier aco pain. There's like a good shot.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like there's different levels to pain. So like there's different levels to committing to this. There's different levels to like yeah. Just like everyone just do. Do our part.

[B]

Your part and all your senators.

[A]

I don't want to hear that they don't care. Make them care. Call your senators. Even if they just make sure they hear your voice, there's a representation of the people. So we need to do our part as well. Like we are in more control than what we feel and we just got to make sure we're doing those things. Also keep making impact where it matters. Participate in blackout days where you know we're not going to shop and different things like that. Because they'll listen when it impacts their, their wallets and they'll listen when it impacts, you know, the status of their, these big companies. And you know, we've already seen the way that this works with the Disney situation with the Jimmy Kimmel sit with different things already recently. Like this isn't like something that we ever. We have to tap in from years ago. Like this is happening very recent hit them pockets.

[B]

Not fun. They don't like that.

[A]

They don't like that.

[B]

So they said to contact Governor Wallace. Cuz obviously many Minnesota is just testing ground.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

To see what you can go and.

[A]

Pull off so that they.

[B]

In other states.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So people need to be prepared if you're outside to. You need to be prepared for violence.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Truly you do. Because you see how these people are coming. So people got to stick together. Like when you outnumber them, there's no way they should even be able to be doing this. There's such a small number, they said, in comparison to how many people. So it's like if seven of us are just letting the three cause absolute havoc, at one point we gotta look at each other like, y' all two, y' all two take him, y' all three. Like at a certain point we gotta, we gotta just figure it out. Just numbers wise. It's just math right now. But they said to tell Governor Walsh that they need an eviction moratorium across the state because a lot of people are unable to go to work because they're trying to not.

[A]

They're getting hunted down.

[B]

Yeah, they're getting hunted down. So no, I couldn't make it to work because I couldn't make it to work. I obviously can't pay my rent. So people need an eviction moratorium. Governor Walsh's phone number is 651-201. 3400 IG is@MNGovernOriginal. Twitter at Governor Tim Walls. Email tim.wallstate.in the US so look up the people in your state, in your city, whoever you can call, whatever you feel like you can do at this point in your life, do something. Because at a certain point it's going to be too late. People are going to wish that they had just gotten together when they could before it turns into Hunger Games.

[A]

And which is, I think, also on the menu for America, there will be a Hunger Games. I don't know what the Trump Games. You know, he always like tokens. He's so original with his naming the Trump Games, the Trump Coin, Trump Care. I'm like, you know how crazy.

[B]

You know how insecure of a person you gotta be to do that shit over and over. You gotta make everything about you that's crazy to know. Okay. Cuz most narcissists, actually, when people are calling a narcissist, they try to deny it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I'm saying?

[A]

They try to act normal, settled into it.

[B]

Yeah. He was just like, okay, home sick.

[A]

I don't see it.

[B]

But goodness gracious.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

All right, well, on that note, On that note, I love going from something just like we're so serious and aggressive.

[A]

Okay. Yeah, we're gonna end that one with abolish. Ice. You guys like the whole image. Choke on your own. I hate you guys. That was, like, some of the whitest things.

[B]

Let's just talk about it.

[A]

Weird stuff.

[B]

But you said.

[A]

Yeah, I do, y'. All. Not often, though.

[B]

No.

[A]

But I'm saying I have too many black friends. Yeah.

[B]

That never would have even.

[A]

That was the whiteness to me.

[B]

That was super white. Co would never say that there.

[A]

Sometimes I say white things intentionally. And Mari dies laughing. She dies laughing. She was like, I don't get my whiteness very often. So when, like, you step in.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's refreshing. And I'm like, yeah, I bring the proper whiteness.

[B]

Yeah. Just sounds short. Dick sounds longer.

[A]

Yeah. Also, I always stayed away from saying in college because of the South Carolina. Like, we were just really passionate lsu.

[B]

But okay. Respect.

[A]

Anyway.

[B]

Okay, so. Whoo. Enough about that.

[A]

Those losers.

[B]

All right, we got a game.

[A]

Wait, before we get to the game, we have to give you a little pre. A little backstory. All right, so for the last three seasons, Sid and I have voluntarily wanted to be roommates during the AU season. And it's been a lot of fun. I feel like we have a really good. We have. We have the best room. Honestly, like, yeah, I hope everyone else is really bored in the rooms, because we're certainly not.

[B]

We're not at all.

[A]

We've actually started a women's shelter as well. Like, it's really good. So we're roommates. And everybody at AU is, like, somewhat in the same place. So when people come to visit you, they walk down the hall and they come to our room.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So there's, like, different etiquettes to like having a roommate. And our game is going to be based around roommate etiquette.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So the name of the game is house rules. And I'll. We'll take turns.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Let's just go back and forth naming just, like, different roommate behaviors, and we'll decide if they're acceptable.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Or not.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So.

[B]

And then we give the answer.

[A]

This one actually happened the other day. So we have a two bedroom, two bathroom.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But Cindy got the good bedroom. And my bathroom is actually the house bathroom. Everybody can use it. Sydney actually has a linen closet as well. And she was like, oh, what do you have in place for your linen closet if you don't have this? I said, the door to the living room.

[B]

I said, oh, makes sense.

[A]

Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, it's in the exact same place. So somebody used.

[B]

Then you could have got that room.

[A]

I got there first I got delayed. I have, like, the worst.

[B]

Delayed is not denied. Except in this case, it is.

[A]

I should have just also made my way in your room and made you feel more uncomfortable than you made me feel. Hopping into the bed naked, just like, pooping with the door open. Different things to just, like, raise your or lower your comfort levels could have got you out of that room. I wasn't that committed, though.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I passed on that. Okay, so someone who lives within, like, I would say, like eight rooms of our room. Like, think of it as a hotel setup eight rooms away. This person needed to use the bathroom. I didn't know if it was one or two. I truly didn't ask, but they went into my bathroom. Should I have.

[B]

Wait, who was it? Okay, did you guys hear that?

[A]

Don't answer. Don't answer. Like they were gonna tell me. Okay, so they use my bathroom. And I was like, should I just be like, go to your own room. Like, you'll be back in a minute. Literally, it takes less than 60 seconds to get to your room.

[B]

No, if you have the number two and you're not. If I'm at somebody's house, I drove over there. You look, hey, nature calls.

[A]

You're stuck there.

[B]

I gotta use the bathroom.

[A]

But if you used your feet.

[B]

Yeah. If you can go down the hall. You ought to. You truly ought to.

[A]

Okay, so unacceptable to number two in somebody's room. But number one's okay.

[B]

Yeah, number one's cool. Okay. Okay.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

All right. Am I starting with this?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

All right. Leaving dishes to soak for days.

[A]

No, I would kill you if you did that.

[B]

I feel like we both. Like, I've had times where I lived alone and I would leave dishes in the sink more often. I'm not going to do it for multiple days. Like, if I go to sleep and.

[A]

I'm like, okay, like, the morning, it's.

[B]

Got to be done the morning. Like, I'mma do it. Or like the afternoon when we get back from working out. Like, I feel like we do a.

[A]

Good job if there's like, some dishes in the sink. Like, we take turns, like, just washing them. Just wash them or load the dish. There's never a discussion. Like, they're just done. They're always done.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Cuz I think we both want to see, like, the countertop. The.

[A]

The countertop is clear.

[B]

The empty sink.

[A]

Like, I feel like we do a really good job of sharing chores. Yeah, it's nice.

[B]

Stop. Because people already.

[A]

Oh, we have separate rooms.

[B]

So, you know, stop commenting that we're together.

[A]

Like, yeah, it's obvious to stop now. I can't make it more obvious. And if you don't, I. I just don't have to explain that to you. Actually, I'm going to keep my piece here.

[B]

Do that.

[A]

Okay. How do you feel about sharing? Buying shared, like, products. And there's categories of this. How do you feel about, like, shared condiments?

[B]

Share condiments? Yeah, if we use the same stuff. Like, especially because we're not here for a super long time. Like, I'm fine with that.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Probably will even be fine. Even if it was an extended period of time, if it was like a W season. Obviously we don't live together, but, like, I'm fine with sharing some of that stuff. Like, just everybody replace it at a different point. Or if you don't replace it, get something else.

[A]

So how do you feel about, like, shared food? Like, you bought a bag of apples.

[B]

And if it was discussed beforehand.

[A]

Okay, so there's some things that are just for you, and there's some things that are for the room.

[B]

Yeah, I think so.

[A]

I feel like that was, like, unspoken.

[B]

Because some stuff I thought is just common sense. It's like, if I buy a bag of apples, I'm not expecting you to eat a damn apple. If we didn't have a conversation about you eating an apple.

[A]

Hey, you remember when I lied to you the other day when. When we both got beef jerkies from the gym?

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

I ate mine on the way home. And you got two. And so I opened up the pantry door and there was two beef jerkies in there. And I was like, hey, Sid, are both of these yours? I knew they were hers. I said, are both of these yours? And she said, oh, yeah, I think so. I was like, well, can I have one? She was like, well, where's yours? I said, I don't know. And she said, what do you mean you don't know? I just got silent for a few minutes. She then said that I could have without responding. I didn't said nothing. She was like, you can have one.

[B]

You could just have it because it's pathetic.

[A]

I said, oh, I ate mine already. She said, no, you can't have it. At that point, it was already a done deal. She said, I could have it. No take backsies. We've also been having a finders keepers rule. That is completely inappropriate. We've just been stealing things from each other. Like, if she left her iPad out, I would take her iPad and say, find her skeepers. But anyway, we Give it back. She obviously has her iPad, you guys. So shampoo. Like, could we share shampoo?

[B]

I don't think so. You. You use.

[A]

I've always used your shampoo. When I went to Indiana, I was using.

[B]

Yeah, I forgot what that was.

[A]

I use your. I use your hair products often.

[B]

The pattern.

[A]

I love patterns. Shout out to you, Tracy Ellis Ross.

[B]

What up, Tracy Ellis Ross?

[A]

I love you. Sponsor us. You'll just actually know. Shout out to. Really shout out to her. Because in the bubble is the first time I ever found out about pattern.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

Tracy Ellis Ross.

[B]

They gave us so much.

[A]

So much hair product.

[B]

I use that for. Girl, you know how it has the. The. The little month on the back.

[A]

I use it past that date. I'm like, I had, like, 30 bottles.

[B]

I can't use it all in six months, five years.

[A]

If anything, it was less potent. I was okay with that. I was so okay with that. So, Tracy, like, this was also at a time in the bubble where, like, they didn't bring anybody to do black women's hair. We didn't have any. Rashonda was working her ass off on and off the court. Shout out to Greg Gray Salon. I brought up Rashonda so many times on this pod. Rashonda Gray was doing people's hair. There was a few people that were doing. They had, like, eventually Asia and Mountain Dew, I think got people to come in and, like, start braiding people's hair and, like, just, like, doing natural things that people need done. Like, you can't bring.

[B]

How much of that did you take, though?

[A]

A lot. Because also there was for curlies, coilies, and something else. Nobody took the curlies. And I was like. And this is when I started my hair, my curly hair journey. Like, this is when I just let my hair grow out, and, like, I had some straight. I used to chemically straighten my hair, you guys, for years of my life. And then.

[B]

No need. Your hair. So pretty.

[A]

Yeah. I didn't know, but no one told me about product when I was younger. Like, they were just like, brush it and brush it was the opposite of what I needed. Yeah. So shout out to Tracy Ellis Ross for sending all that to the bubble. Like, that was so. That was so cool.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And also, thank you for years of, like, hair care.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I did fully take advantage of. Because we got the combs and stuff as well. She sent us the towels, man. You hooked us up.

[B]

So.

[A]

Yeah, Tracy, if you do have any, like, product just lingering around your house unsupervised.

[B]

Okay. Labeling food in the fridge. I'M like.

[A]

No.

[B]

Yeah. I'm like, there's no need, because you know what's yours and what's not.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, if you ate to that point last night, even if it's the same meal, like, did you reach up there to get that thing or was it down at the bottom? Like, you remember your plate?

[A]

We do. Oh, we also need to talk about. Somebody sent me petaphors. Someone really kind.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Sent me petaphores. And if you don't know what petaphors are, you guys. Which I didn't know that a lot of people don't know what petaphors are. It's so good. I don't know if it's a New Orleans thing or, like, what kind of thing it is, but essentially it's like a mini cake. A mini cake. Cupcake. Not a cupcake at all, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, because it's, like, hard icing all the way around. I don't even know how to describe it, but it's delicious and it's bite sized and it's so good. But it's called a P4.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we had, like, 24 petaphores that we smashed.

[B]

It was insane.

[A]

It was so good, though.

[B]

We got rid of those.

[A]

Yeah, we should have been. But that was. That was a. A situation where, like, I got it, but it was for the. For the household.

[B]

Yeah, exactly. And then, like, so I, like, cooked the other day. It's like you just do stuff. Just go back and forth doing stuff.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It don't have to be. Exactly even.

[A]

Sid, I need to give you a shout out on this podcast for how good your meatballs were. You did that and you did two different.

[B]

Talk to me, Talk to me, Talk to me, baby. Come and talk to me. I really want to know about my meatballs.

[A]

The way you perfectly sauteed those bell peppers on top of them and the onions, I was like, damn, Sid really knows what you're doing. I know. And also what was crazy is that we bought turkey meat before the storm, then we had to panic buy. There was no more turkey meat, so we had to get beef. And she made delicious meatballs in two different types of meat, like, at the same time. Mind blowing, y'. All. Great meal. But shout out to you for those meatballs.

[B]

Yeah. Thank you.

[A]

If. If you wake up before the other person and you're, like, loud and not loud in the common spaces, but you're not, like, trying to be quiet in the common spaces.

[B]

That's bad.

[A]

That's bad. Like, you just can't live your normal life when you know someone's sleeping behind the door.

[B]

Yeah. And it's not to say you might not do. You might do something that's like unintentionally loud, but then you try to like oh shit. And if you do something like depending on how long you're there, like you catch yourself.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But to just move at a normal speed and volume like do everything is not considerate.

[A]

Oh, I have one. When. If one of your roommates flies in an Xbox and then your other roommate buys a second controller so that the first roommate who brought the Xbox and it's actually their Xbox plays with you because you know they only brought it for you in a non romantic way. Controller was purchased and we haven't even played.

[B]

Okay, what about this? Using someone else's towel just once.

[A]

If you touch my towel, that would.

[B]

Be crazy going in your room to do that. Oh, I've done stuff. If somebody has one by the. Yeah, like I do that. If not, like I'm gonna do it on your curtain, on your shower curtain. Cause you should have had something wrong.

[A]

With you that Sid's ever used in her bathroom.

[B]

They're like, what? Why is there so much water on the shower?

[A]

It's like there's these large handprints on my.

[B]

Cuz if you don't have a towel right there, then what is this? Or I'm gonna flick it on your mirror and I'm gonna write put some down paper towels in here. And then you'll see that when you come back in it'll just be like kind of like dirty on the mirror. But you could read it still.

[A]

Yeah. So because I do have the common bathroom, I have this problem.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[A]

And I just have a second towel that I use for only me. Like the towel that's out. I never put my face on that because I don't trust other people's hands. Yeah, My towel is in the drawer and that towel is for my face.

[B]

Oh, now I know if you go.

[A]

In the drawer to take my towel out, I will be upset.

[B]

And if I go in the guest bathroom when I have have one on the opposite side.

[A]

Yeah, like much, not much less. Walking to some of your room, you have to just walk to your bedroom, which is not even 60 seconds. It's 15 steps.

[B]

No. Well.

[A]

Nature calls.

[B]

Okay. Another one.

[A]

Announcing when you've taken out the trash is crazy.

[B]

That would be some funny passive aggressive shit to do though.

[A]

But you would know that the trash was taken out. If it's Empty again. You don't have to announce that.

[B]

Yeah, but I guess people have roommates that if they never do it, they just think the shit magically happened. No, I took it. You need to start taking it, too, though. Huh?

[A]

Hey, did you guys see the trash chute on the third floor? It's to the far left. Whoa.

[B]

That trash is full. Yeah, it needs to be taken.

[A]

Whoa, I'm glad you saw that. Can you handle that?

[B]

Right, like, what?

[A]

No. You can take it one time.

[B]

Yeah, it's one thing if it's, like. Because there have been times where, like, maybe you took it twice. I'm like, oh, yeah. Like, let me make sure. Do not take it. I'm about to take it.

[A]

But you know who always wants to take the trash out? Yams. Yams is down to go to the trash chute every time. She loves the walk. She loves the yams. Loves au. I think more than everybody. Like, EMS thrives for this AU space.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, okay.

[A]

Oh, this is a big okay, you go.

[B]

What? No, no, I want to hear.

[A]

No, this is a big problem because you are a psychopath.

[B]

Go. I want to hear now.

[A]

Turning the thermostat up or down without discussion. Oh, and, like, even further than this. Anyone who sleeps with the heater on. What are you doing?

[B]

My mama keep her house hot. You do.

[A]

You're your mom. When you say my mom, you should all say, me and my mom.

[B]

Oh, I'm becoming her.

[A]

You are. You're turning into your parents.

[B]

She's not a dyke, though. Imagine my mama started dressing like this.

[A]

Ms. Stephanie, I know. I pray for you daily because I know everything that you went through raising her and also what you continuously. Dude. But I do love her. She's great.

[B]

She'll be like, no. What made you say that? I don't know, Mama. It just sounded like a funny joke.

[A]

Whenever you tell us to shut the f up, your mom calls and it makes. And she then apologizes for you. Is so funny. But I can't. You like to sleep with the temperature. Like, when I. At one point today, I walked out, it was on, like, 75. Yeah, I didn't know it goes up that high. I've never once intentionally set my thermostat 75.

[B]

The drama of it all. No, you didn't know it went up to 75.

[A]

There's. No. No, I did not.

[B]

You're gonna.

[A]

I assumed you can turn it up to whatever, but I've never done it.

[B]

It's 10 degrees outside, so I'm not about to have it on typically, I would probably keep it on 70. 70.

[A]

Okay, let's do that.

[B]

69. 70.

[A]

If it's, like, in the winter and in the summer.

[B]

And it depends on how it feels outside, though. Like, and it also depends on how good the insulation is at the apartment or wherever. Like, because some cold from outside is gonna. It just. I don't know. It's coming through the windows differently or something. Yeah.

[A]

We also have a sliding door, which is, like, barely open, but, like, it's not. It's not that cold inside that we have to, like, crank it up to.

[B]

But it's not that cold to you.

[A]

You need to start bundling up. Cause if I sweat.

[B]

So you want me to walk around the apartment with a bunch of clothes on when I could just turn up the thermostat and you could take clothes off? I have to be fully dressed to go outside. But you can't just be in, like, shorts and a shirt. No.

[A]

Cause it's the winter. Like, I want to have, like, a pair of sweatpants, A light pair of sweatpants. I'm not. Like, I'll have a T shirt on.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But I also think that, like, I've.

[B]

Had that on too, have I not?

[A]

I feel like it's easier to be cold and warm yourself up than it is to be hot and cool yourself down.

[B]

Well, we have different internal body temperatures, though. It's apparent. Well, you know, I get cold easily. I might be anemia.

[A]

I get hot.

[B]

So if you say something right now, are you against the anemic community? Go ahead. What are you about to say?

[A]

I'm in the nemic community. I don't know if you heard last episode, but I'm literally anemia. Walking anemia. I love when, like, you get caught up. First your favorite white woman, now this. It's crazy. The other day, Julia came out with a movie, and Sid was, like, dying to watch a trailer, obviously. And so Marty found this really funny. I said, you gonna watch your girl? I do love Julia, though.

[B]

It was after the Hunt, so I still need to watch it. But, like, it's not personal. My bad. But I can just have it warmer, and I think that's okay. I think we meet in the middle. That's what we've been doing. Everything was fine in my eyes. I never thought it would have been brought to the pod. Never, ever, ever.

[A]

Shout out to VM all right, so this was. This was a lot. We talked about the highs, we talked about the lows. We had some laughs, we had some tears. We had some gratitude. We had some hate. And I feel like if y' all are unsatisfied with that, then you.

[B]

That's on you.

[A]

Yeah, go, like, get a gym membership and just find something else to do, I guess.

[B]

But it was a good chat, though.

[A]

It was a really great show.

[B]

I appreciate that. Like, that, to me, that's the stuff. And that's another, like, just a quick summary. Like, what's happening in the world is a lot, especially if you're new to really seeing it, even people who've been in it. You gotta take time to fight and also time to recharge. You can't just be at a constant state of like, on 10, on 10, on 10. It's not good for your body. It's stressful. And they want us living in fear and living in a state of just, like, stress stress. Because you gotta lose hope. I need you to lose hope. So don't lose hope. Like, make sure that you're doing stuff that makes you happy as well. Like, even with the most sad stuff, like, there still is good in the world. And you gotta try to make sure that you're balancing that out for yourself. But with that said, great talk. Nice to be able to dap up.

[A]

Love to dap up love to dap up. Next week, are we in person?

[B]

Oh, and we're in person next week. What? Yeah, next episode, we're in person to.

[A]

Meet some babysitters again. This is awesome.

[B]

That's gonna be fun. We look forward to that in Nashville. But in the meantime, y' all know what to do if you want us in your business, you want to tell us something wonderful, beautiful that happened in your life that you did for somebody or they did for you. Hit us up at unsupervised Sid tp. You know, we love hearing from y'. All.

You know they going to block them when it's game time and you know I'm going to block them and we cover everything like who harder than us and yeah, we looking down on haters cuz they smaller than us and yeah, my flow is so damn sick, I be coughing it up. You said that we going flat. Well, then I'm calling your bl Unsupervised. Unsupervised.

[B]

Unsupervised. Unsupervised. Sam.
