Tam Bam
That was nice.
AJ Holiday
Yeah. I called her like, 11:30, like, hey, you want to go to brunch? I just didn't want to go by myself. And she said yes this time because I asked her, like, every couple weeks.
Tam Bam
And that was cute.
AJ Holiday
I know. So we went and had a stupid ass, expensive, dumb ass brunch that wasn't worth the money. I could have cooked at the house per usual. But I enjoy spending time with my mama, man, just talking shit, giving her some of this personality. She said, I'm a strange. I'm a strange little person is what she said to me. And I said, I'm a big person.
Tam Bam
Right. But you didn't say you weren't strange. I appreciate that you are, you know, own that.

I. I don't know that I'm strange, though. I mean, I could be.
Tam Bam
Everybody's strange.
AJ Holiday
Yeah.
Tam Bam
I don't think there is no normal anymore.
AJ Holiday
It isn't. So when somebody says that I need now I need clarity, now I'm gonna act strange asking for clarity. Anyway, how was your weekend?
Tam Bam
My weekend was lit. Okay. It was so lit. All right, so y', all, I. I didn't have no ticket to see Jay Z. Right. But I went and bought me an outfit. I just was doing all the things manifesting. Yeah. Like, I'm going. I took the. I took the days off of work. I just was like, yeah, I'm going. And then, like, right when. Right when Jay Z dropped that he was doing a concert, I immediately text Charlamagne, like, hey, My friend, I don't ask for nothing. Cause I love you and that's it. But if you ever cared about me at all, and you get a suite for Jay Z, please send me a ticket. He thumbs up that shit, right? But he ain't. And then I. He ain't say shit. We talk often. He ain't say, mention it. And then I asked again, and he ain't respond. He just stopped talking. I was like, fuck, he ain't taking me. But, like, two days before the show, he was like, hey, I got a suite, nigga. I'm on the way. I got to New York day of the concert. Day of the concert. It was lit Friday night. I feel like it was the best show, even though that's the only one I ended up at. But it was really good. Cause he just took us down memory lane. Blue came out. Beyonce started the show. It was just such a good fucking time. We had a ball. Then we went to the lounge afterwards, he took us all backstage to the lounge, and Jay Z was like, right there, y', all, baby. I was on the inside like this. I was screaming on the inside. But I was like, I gotta act
AJ Holiday
like he's acting cool. Like, you belong there, period. Because why?
Tam Bam
Because we do. Yeah. All the time.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right?
AJ Holiday
Who's Sean? Oh, Sean. You talk about Beyonce's husband. Oh, okay. Yeah, I know them.
Tam Bam
Yes. That's the energy I was giving in there. But I was really screaming on the inside. So that was fun. It was such a fun night. We had a good time. And then shit instantly went left. Like, so, like, literally right after the show, I got in the car with Shila and all of them to leave the arena so I wouldn't be in the madness. And then I was like, just take me a little ways away from the arena and I'll catch an Uber. Because they were going, like, literally opposite direction for me. Yeah. I get out of the car to go to my Uber, because I'm talking to the man on the phone. He said, that's me. Yeah, my lights are flashing. So I see the car with the flashing lights, and I was like. I just walk up there. It's behind us. So y', all. I start walking up there, and it was like, you sure? I was like, it's just right there. You can see the lights from here. It's fine. I jumped my ass out that car, and I crossed the street, and I start walking, y'.

AJ Holiday
Like, girl, One of them black squirrels. They got black squirrels up there. It was it a squirrel? Squirrel. It might have been one of them big ass rats.
Tam Bam
It looked orange on the tips. Like, it looked hair, like, long hair, and it looked kind of like orange in color. And it was thick. It wasn't no little ass squirrel. If it was a squirrel. It was kind of thick, but it wasn't no dog or cat. I don't know what the that was. All I know is I would. I ain't wear no smoke with it. So I took off running. I finally made it to the car, so I snatched the door, and it's locked. And then the windows rolled down. It was like, bitch on some New York shit, bitch, what the wrong with you? I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
AJ Holiday

So, yeah, that happened on Friday night. Yo, what? But I made it to my Uber, and everything was good. Saturday, we were in the car Friday, like, oh, we want to go to the next show. I was like, me too. I just kept throwing it out there. Me too. So then Charlemagne text me, you coming to the show? Absolutely. Y', all. I get there late. Like, the show had already started by the time I got there. But it wasn't that long. It had been. He hadn't been on long. The same thing that happened on Sunday happened on Saturday. They just not talking about Saturday. Niggas was fucking rushing the door, so they locked the door. And I was not able to get into the concert. I was sick. I never made it inside. And I had floor season. Charlemagne was like, where you at?

Cause I end up still going out Saturday night and partying in New York. And that was fun, but I. I don't like the people who went three nights in a row. How.
AJ Holiday
Right?
Tam Bam
How did you do it?
AJ Holiday
Well, I saw a bitch on Instagram saying that this Jay Z concerts, this was equivalent to the PPP loan. You just missed out, right? So she was like, the people who look like they were supposed to be there. Also bum rushed and got in because they looked like they were supposed to be there. Meanwhile, the.
Charlamagne Tha God
The.
AJ Holiday
The fucking hood, you know, y' all wasn't supposed to be there. So y' all got left outside, or some of y' all might have got in. How you compare this to the PPP loan?
Tam Bam
Right?
AJ Holiday
The finesse.
Tam Bam
I know they weigh in all three nights. Never bought one single ticket.
AJ Holiday
Only in New York. Mad Max.
Tam Bam
Right? Because how you.
AJ Holiday
How you. That could never. In South Carolina. Like, you ain't getting into Charleston. I would say the Coliseum. You're not getting in there without a ticket.
Tam Bam
Right.
AJ Holiday
Do y' all push past security?
State Farm Sports Narrator
I guess.
AJ Holiday
They don't got no pistols or nothing.
Tam Bam
Hey, Yangi stated like the security had done went in the building. Like, just shut the door. Shut the door. So the niggas was like, you know, the little wine. The. The. They was out there. They didn't took the wine. They didn't took. Took over the, like, the station for security. And they telling bitches to put their bag on the thing. I was like, ma', am, do not put your bag up there. That. He does not work here.
AJ Holiday
Wow. I don't like New York.
Tam Bam
Yeah. Like, what's wrong with y'? All?
AJ Holiday
So is Jay Z only. It's over with, right? Like, Jay Z is not going on tour.
State Farm Narrator
Right.
AJ Holiday
It was just kind of.
Tam Bam
Because then he's going to la. He just added London. He had Perry, so he's going. I'm thinking about going to that London show. For real?
AJ Holiday
Yeah. Because it's 250.
Tam Bam
Yeah. Easy, easy.
AJ Holiday
Versus how much you paying over here? The flight probably cheap as hell, too, to get in Heathrow.
Tam Bam
Yep. Yeah. Kanye British in it. In it.
AJ Holiday
In. It's supposed to be doing New Orleans. I want to go to that.
Tam Bam
Yeah. Somebody else was saying that Jay Z, London and Kanye are right. Like, the same time. I want to go see Kanye instead.
AJ Holiday
I want to go to see Kanye.
Tam Bam
I want to see Kanye, too. I want to see him walk on that world. That is fire. All right, let's get in the sins.
AJ Holiday
All right, y'. All. So Dame Dash had much to say about Jay Z's concert. I'm wondering, was he in attendance?
Kal Penn
No.
Tam Bam
Did you happen to have known if he was there, they would have had pictures of that all over the Internet.
AJ Holiday
Dame Dash is like, the ultimate hater.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
And the nerve of him to have his legs crossed while doing as much hating. As much as he liked to call niggas gay, it almost seemed like he realized his legs was crossed. And he had to get like, in a real stance right quick. Like, he uncrossed his legs and he put his elbows on his. On his knees. Like, no, we saw your legs cross. Talk about another grown man. You saw that Chatty.
Tam Bam
Oh my. But I like women legs cross, though.
AJ Holiday
I don't mind it, but it depends on who it is. Deem Dash is like these. These New York guys, the no homo and all that. It's like, that's homo, right? The legs crossed as far as they concerned. Is it? Not everything is. Not everything is pause.
Tam Bam
Everything is pause.
AJ Holiday
Them legs cross from a New York nigga's paws.
Tam Bam
Yeah, especially I think it. It is. It's also what he's saying while he's sitting there with his legs cross.
State Farm Sports Narrator
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
He said Jay Z keeps flexing his girl. Like, we know who your girl is.
Tam Bam
We know.
AJ Holiday
We know she be touching you and stuff. Like, why you getting your haircut by your girl on stage? Like, you need a lineup.
Tam Bam
I never let my cut my hair. Cause I need a lineup. Shut up. Like, why are you so mad? Why do you care so much? Like.
AJ Holiday
Cause.
Tam Bam
And that's how you know, like, when a can't find nothing to hate about, why you go, why you keep showing us your girl? Like that's someone who just can't find nothing? Because the show is fire. You can't say anything about it. The nigga's still spitting bars. He came out there looking better than he's looked in a decade. Let's talk about that. Looking like ol Jay Z. He looked fit.
AJ Holiday
He got his teeth.
Tam Bam
Teeth looking nice. Cut that hair off. Cut that old energy off. Shedded some fat. His body looking lean. He looked good. That nigga fit.
AJ Holiday
He looked blessed.
Tam Bam
Yeah, yeah.
AJ Holiday
God please help me never. I like, how do you. How do you even be?
Tam Bam
He wanted to be there. That's what it really was. He want.
AJ Holiday
I bet you if he would have called Jay Z and say, man, I love you, man. I want to come to the show. Jay Z would have that at the show.
Tam Bam
Yeah, Like, I want to apologize.
AJ Holiday
I don't know. Maybe not. You know, people be doing. It's like, nah, I ain't with you. Yeah, he's one of the motherfuckers.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
Jay Z probably want to beat that nigga up in real life and just don't, can't. Because you know, Dame just looking for a lawsuit.
Tam Bam
For real.
AJ Holiday
Yeah, he looking for a payday.
Tam Bam
Knock them teeth out. Them teeth already be falling out.
AJ Holiday
You really should shut the up Fab. If your teeth Be falling out, dog. That mean you talk too much?
Tam Bam
Yeah, you say. All right, so look at this. US rapper Boosie seeks $300,000 refund after failed Trump pardon bid. All right, so it says the rapper reportedly paid 600,000 to push for president's pardon, but firm says no partial refund promise. Louisiana rapper Booy Badass is reportedly looking to claw back $300,000 from a firm of Washington, D.C. lobbyist after they failed to secure a pardon for Donald Trump after he hired them to pursue the overturning of his conviction on charges of possessing a loaded weapon at a music video shooting in 2023. Boosie, whose legal name is Taurus Hatch and who hails from his home state's capital of Baton Rouge, paid J.M. berkman and associate $600,000 in 2025 to advance his push for a pardon from the U.S. president, according to a report on Monday from Notice covers the federal government. But a pardon was not forthcoming, and Hatch is now taking up the issue through arbitration, potentially portending a genre of litigation stemming from Trump's habit during his second presidency of dueling out pardons on masses. What? In mass.
AJ Holiday
Doing our pardons and mass. Yeah.
Tam Bam
To people he considers to be aligned with him and were convicted of federal crimes. I'm not reading all of them, but yeah.
AJ Holiday
So basically, he. To me, essentially, this is probably a donation of some sorts, right? And how is this legal? I have no idea. But he essentially got finessed by two people who say that they are close to Trump and they could have made this happen for him for $600,000. That money probably never made it to Trump's campaign. First of all, you just got finessed, dog. You might have to. That's a lot of money to eat. Like, y' all be killing niggas in the streets for less. Like, I feel like something should happen to somebody outside of court. About $600,000. I'm sorry, like, what?
Tam Bam
That's a lot of money.
AJ Holiday
But this is why, you know, and we gonna have a whole episode about Caresha spin that right? Because we are not the real scammers out here.
Tam Bam
No.
AJ Holiday
Is these mother. Is these corporates. Corporate corporation owners, you know, and they're from a certain lineage. They are the fucking scammers. And they have convinced the world that is us. It is so weird to watch another group of people do all the things that they accuse us, accuse us of doing. It's just the weirdest thing. I had somebody comment to me on Instagram one day like, yeah, y' all just all Y' all do is sue, like insinuating. Like what? What do we even have money, like, collectively to just put lawsuits against people, Right? Well, we be looking for pro bono lawyers or we have a really good case. Like, if we really do sue somebody.
Tam Bam
Right. That's about to be my bag, though. I'm about to sue everybody because they do it for sure. It's like that I done let slide over the years. I'm not doing that no more.
AJ Holiday
Yes.
Tam Bam
Your motherfucking ass. Yes.
AJ Holiday
Talk shit. You might get sued, okay? For slander. You better be able to prove it.
Tam Bam
If I go somewhere my steak too hot. I'm suing y' all ass because it
AJ Holiday
burnt my tongue, period. Where's the sticker that says 500 degrees? Remember, somebody sued McDonald's.
Tam Bam
That's what I'm saying.
AJ Holiday
Who the fuck orders cold coffee? You know, your coffee was hot, but it waste on you. And now you get to sue.
Tam Bam
And one.
AJ Holiday
Yes, please. Now they put on the cups. Caution warning. Yeah.
Tam Bam
Contents may be hot.
AJ Holiday
They would send that same cup back if it was cold.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
So I mean, this is. This is American culture, right? Niggas sue every day, B. It's just not us that's usually doing the suing. But I'm wondering what, Boosie, what you gonna do? What you gonna do with them white folks? Don't give your money back. You gonna take it to the streets.
Tam Bam
You gonna take that l on the chin is what you're gonna do. But spin. That should be the new national anthem as far as I'm concerned, because the that's y' all been scamming since the beginning of the time. Make that decision. Yes. Make it the second verse.
AJ Holiday
But speaking of who be scamming, Tommy Lee hit with felony charge after allegedly entering FIFA World cup match without a ticket. How sway it says O O? I don't know. I want I look. Maybe she did some that they was doing in New York at the Jay Z concert, right? Bum rush the doors. She looked cute, though, in her little mug shot. It says Tommy Lee is facing a felony charge after being one of six arrested during the England versus Norway FIFA. Norway FIFA World cup match at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami over the weekend, according to NBC. NBC NBS News. What the fuck? According to CBS News, court documents say Tommy allegedly entered the stadium through an unauthorized entrance without a ticket While more than 65,000 fans were in attendance. Investigators claim the reality star later made her way to the 100 level seating area before deputies detained her. She was arrested and charged with interference with A sporting or entertainment event, a third degree felony under Florida law, before being transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional center for processing. This Miami Dade Sheriff's office girl.
Tam Bam
What I. And the thing is, I feel like she could afford a ticket. That's the sad part. Now you got a felony charge behind that shit. That seems excessive, though, but depending on
AJ Holiday
how much those tickets cost like that could. That's definitely it could very well be a felony if a tickets cost a 10. $10,000. I can only imagine she was trying
Tam Bam
to make sure athletes. I ain't mad at you, cuz. Who on a 100 level, right?
AJ Holiday
Tommy was trying to get to them niggas for sure.
Tam Bam
Hell, yes, she was for sure. Child.
AJ Holiday
That is kind of chicken headish, man. Like, what you doing, Tommy?
Tam Bam
Yeah, it is kind of chicken head ish.
AJ Holiday
But y' all doing.
Tam Bam
I get what you was after my sister.
AJ Holiday
What you doing, man?
Tam Bam
I'm not sneaking in the. I don't like. Because I don't like having. No.
AJ Holiday
And be embarrassed.
Tam Bam
Yeah, that part I don't want to be embarrassed.
AJ Holiday
Now you go to jail.
Tam Bam
I'm not gonna enjoy the shit because I got. I gotta keep my head on a swivel.
AJ Holiday
And she ain't get in there and sat down. She got in there moving around, right?
Tam Bam
Sit your ass down. You should try to be seen. You can't be seen from your seat like that.
AJ Holiday
And I know she probably had on some. She looked like she ain't supposed to be at no soccer game, right?
Tam Bam
Bikini top and some.
AJ Holiday
She'd be looking cute sometimes.
Tam Bam
Yeah, she's super cute. She is. With some. It's some jorts in there with a bikini top on.
AJ Holiday
Look, speaking of fashion, I want to talk about what is the age limit for certain
Tam Bam
looks?
AJ Holiday
Yeah. Like certain fashion. Right? Because, you know, you see that saying all the time. Like, just because they got your size, that would mean you need to wear it, you know, Is there an age limit for how to dress? Y' all see everybody be getting on. On Jim Jones. That's what I want to talk about today, y'. All.
Tam Bam
All right, let's get into it.
State Farm Narrator
You've been working in the garage with your dad every week, Monday to Sunday, trying to get the old school up and running. Today, after all the hard work, y' all finally finished it. So you have that feeling of accomplishment. You did it. Then your dad throws you the keys and says those three magic words. All yours, son. Yep. That same car belonged to your grandpa. And that your dad helped him fix is yours. Three generations Right there, keeping the tradition alive. But if you ask dad to really keep the tradition going, you need to get insurance. And you already know you need to get State Farm because your agent, well, he gets tradition too. His dad was an agent, his grandpa too. So he gets you generation to generation. Remember to choose the agents that your family counted on. Like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.

Kal Penn
Hey, everyone, it's Kal Penn. I'm the host of Irsay the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook project, Hail Mary, massive sci fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone, very far from Earth.
Ray Porter
I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections. And it's like, okay, yo, yo, yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it. I was like, no. At this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that that deeply, emotionally affected me. And I left it on the mic. That's great because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah, dude, me too.
Kal Penn
Listen to Irsay the Audible and iHeart audiobook club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts. He's dribbling the ball with everything on the line. He's driving down the pitch.
AJ Holiday
He's facing price hikes.
Kal Penn

AJ Holiday
All right, y', all, so we're back. I got a question, Tam. At what age are crop tops canceled?
Tam Bam
No age as far as I'm concerned, because I. I got on one right now while we doing the recording. I love me a crop top, but I just, I do feel like it's a time and place for everything. You got to know how to like, turn it off and turn it on. I will say that, but I listen. I'm a hypocrite. And let me tell you why. Because I hate when I see men over 40 looking like a Y N. Like when they look too wide in this all the time. And I ain't. I'll never see you in a suit or a button up or a linen or nothing like that ever. Soft clothes.
AJ Holiday
That's what my stepdaddy call it. Soft clothes.
Tam Bam
Yeah. So quarter zip. A quarter zip. Can you put on a quarter zip? Like something. When I never see that, that's when I'd be like, yuck, get out of here, you big ass grown ass kid.
AJ Holiday
A teen what? Teen year citizen. So they be calling Jim Jones a teen year citizen, right? And I, I don't know that. To me, like with women, when women dress younger, it doesn't like stand out as much versus when men do it.
Tam Bam
Right.
AJ Holiday
I think Jim Jones has been dressed in the same way his entire career and he, he is a staple, right? He did start a lot of the, the way these kids dress now. Like the rockstar rapper type look like he's always been dressing like that. So he's like, how the fuck am I too old to dress like that? Like, to dress like this. I've been, yeah, this is me, right? Right. Y' all niggas dressing like me now. Y' all trying to say I'm too old to dress like me, right? What is that? Right? So I understand where he coming from and I think it's just his, it's the energy, his demeanor behind how he dressed too. Like, he's childish, but we childish. Like I, I'm a Toys R Us kid for sure. Like, I got bubbles for this weekend. I got a cigarette that blow bubbles. I'm. I'm be doing that this weekend and I keep meaning to order that little, that little thing. I could put my debit Card in a little wand so I could tap it. Like, I like all that.
Tam Bam
You're gonna be blowing bubbles this weekend. They can't wait.
AJ Holiday
I can't wait. You know those little cigarette little candies like to blow the smoke? Yes. So I. I understand, right. When it comes to women, I just think that I just love to see a fine old bitch dressing young. Cause like, but you got the body and all the things. Like, I feel good for them, right? Because they feel good and they look good. So our. Our crop tops, we got a mutual friend that is a crop top. Girly forever.
Tam Bam
But body, teeth.
AJ Holiday
Yes, period.
Tam Bam
I ain't never seen her. I don't even know if she knows shirts got bottom halves.
Kal Penn
Like
AJ Holiday
she gotta own a million crop tops. Like, I never seen her with a whole shirt on. I never seen her with a shirt tucked. You ever seen her with a belt on like this?
Tam Bam
No. Yeah. No.
AJ Holiday
And it's just her uniform. Like, we know when we see her, that's what she gonna have on and ain't. I mean, it's really nothing wrong with it.
Bethenny Frankel
But
AJ Holiday
I think my dress is tied more so to weight versus age. Right? So like I said, just because you could put it on, that mean you should. Just because it fits on, right? And I might see somebody way bigger than me with the same shit on and they don't give a fuck. It may not look bad on them at all. But it's like, I be tripping, Mitch. I'm tripping.
Tam Bam
My thing is quality over. Like, I just feel like you're close to start being more quality once you get older. Like, I was so happy when Forever 21 closed down in Charlotte because my friend was shopping there all the time.
AJ Holiday
I was like, girl clothes is falling apart. Those are one wears. There ain't no two summer clothes. Like, you're not gonna have that next year.
Tam Bam
She passed all the time.
Charlamagne Tha God
That.
Tam Bam
That get you some quality shit. Yeah.
AJ Holiday
And you know, being naked at this age, like, to me, being naked, that's not fashion either. That's not fly. So I feel like women, when you put that on, like clothes. That's all I was saying. Like, winter is bad season, right? You know, the, the, the naked girlies don't know what the. To put on the winter. They catching pneumonia because they still naked whole time. We got the fly ass boudon furs, whatever. Like it's
Tam Bam
layers.
AJ Holiday
Yes. And it looks great, right? Okay. Fly shit. I do have some friends that, like, they keep on like a little teenager dress that is not fly. And that's Easy. And you just naked. Really?
Tam Bam
Just naked.
AJ Holiday
You just naked. So I, I do feel like at some point like that I. I don't know. I. I guess that's just not dressing really. They just don't know how to dress right. So throwing on a. A dress where you know your ass is poking because it's like bodycon. Yeah, that's safe, I guess. I don't know. I do. I wish they would put some other shit on because that ain't putting that shit on. It's actually the lack thereof.
Tam Bam
Yeah,
AJ Holiday
you ain't putting that on.
Tam Bam
What is your like, what is your go to place to shop? Okay.
AJ Holiday
After shopping for this weekend, like I found so many like nice dress shops, boutiques and stuff like that online because I've been looking for like a few weeks now. But I mean like last minute, I still with Fashion Nova, right? Even though you can get a bunch of. You gonna order 10 things from there and return eight.
Tam Bam
Yeah. But you start credit.
AJ Holiday
Yeah, I hate it. I am, I am, I am in store credit purgatory right now. With Fashion Nova I just spent like 300 something dollars in store credit this week. Literally waking on a. Waiting on a package right now. But with Fashion Nova I shop by material. Like I will literally put cotton linen in the search bar and it'll. It'll pull things up. Right. Because I do try to stay away from polyester. But though a lot of that cotton shit. Yeah. Lycra and rayon, like all of that is just not natural materials. So I try to stay away from it. But yeah, Fashion Nova revolve a lot.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
Norma Tamale. Yeah. Mishka Meshki. Meshki. Yes.
Tam Bam
Yeah. I love about Revolve Revival got free two day shipping. Okay. Yep.

AJ Holiday
Boo don't have a return policy and some of these things could. No, they got store credit too. I literally was about. I literally better look. I literally was about to order like four dresses from Baby Boo and Ty looked at the return policy and saw that they only do store credit.
Tam Bam

AJ Holiday
And them dresses is still.
Tam Bam
And they not cheap. Yeah, they not cheap.
AJ Holiday
Some of them. Now some of them look cheap though when you get them. Like they don't look cheap online, but they're not the best quality when you actually get them either.
Tam Bam
Yeah. You know who else has been like, trying to get me to shop there? And I'm kind of scared because I don't know nobody that's buying anything from them. Akira.
AJ Holiday
I know people who shop at Akira and Akira got good overnight, two day shipping too. They'll do overnight and two day shipping. I have gotten a couple pieces from Akira. And I mean, again, it's more close to like fashion nova, pretty little thing type quality.
Tam Bam
But they be having like, little stuff that looks like very quirky, like very trendy looks that you won't find anywhere else. I'm like, oh, this is cute. Okay. Akira. And then I'd be like, yeah, I'm scared. So I know.
AJ Holiday
And shoes and stuff. I don't trust shoes, like from those places. Like, I know my foot gonna be hurt and that heel gonna be kind of crooked. It's not made right. I buy flats from those places. I'll buy like a flip flop or something like that. I shop on the real. Real a lot too. And I. And I re. Resell shit. I keep some shit for resale.
Tam Bam

Tam Bam
I ain't buying no fake. Some sent me some fake as a gift, okay?
AJ Holiday
Yo, why? My sister was like, one weekend I this is 4th of July weekend, I invited her over to my homegirl house and she was like, all right, now I'm just calling to let you know when you see me. I got on these Louis Vuitton sneakers out my stepdaddy house next to it, which is our storage unit. I'm like, girl, I'm ain't real. I don't give a. That's why they over there. She came right over there with the fake ass Louis Vuitton sneakers on that a Gave me, see two pairs of fake ass sneakers.
Tam Bam

AJ Holiday
Exactly.
Tam Bam
Okay. Please.
AJ Holiday
What's something you'll wear forever? You think something weave clothes wise, like, I think about.
Tam Bam
This is a part of my outfit. I don't know what the fuck you talking about. This is Right. But eyebrows. If. As far as clothing is concerned, what would I wear forever? That's just never gone. That's just timeless for me. A jumpsuit, a one piece. I'm aware I'm gonna wear a one piece forever. I love me a jumpsuit.
AJ Holiday

Tam Bam
The kids be like, aunties wear denim jackets. They was. I like, offended because I love. I don't try when I travel. I'm gonna have a denim jacket with me. They're like, oh, that's it. You're auntie. You wear a denim jacket.
AJ Holiday
But I like a good crop one, though. Yeah, like a good crop, sporty, bomber looking. I love bombers. That's my shit. I love a good blazer.
Tam Bam

AJ Holiday
The denim jacket ain't young. The denim jacket is on. T shirt.
Tam Bam
Yeah, girl, that's good.
AJ Holiday
I never knew.
Tam Bam
I. I just heard that and I was so offended because I love my denim jacket.
AJ Holiday
Now watch one of them. That's be done. Still stole your shit now, right? Because all the shit I. I was watching my mom and thinking it was some old shit I wanted.
Tam Bam
Now it was a video and it was like, you know, she and auntie, if she got a denim jacket. It was like all these pictures of women over 40 with denim jackets. I was like, y'.
AJ Holiday
All, you know, I think the men also like denim because you will catch a. With a denim jacket and jeans on.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
Like a denim two piece.
Tam Bam
I feel like I like me some denim.
AJ Holiday

AJ Holiday
so much that I haven't touched in years. Like, I can literally just. I got Arden B. I got BB When BB had, like, clothes was like, quality. I got.
Tam Bam
What happened to them? They used to be like, arden B. And B.B. you was that girl if you had that. Yeah, that was a long time ago.
AJ Holiday
Yeah. I don't know.
Tam Bam
I feel like.
AJ Holiday
Was it. It wasn't Covid. That happened to them. They was going down way before then. I don't know what it was that caused those. Those brands. Maybe it was fashion nova because even bcbg, man, BCBG only has online now and they really only sell gowns. The BCBG had all the fly shit too in nowadays.
Tam Bam
Girlies loved it. Yeah. I don't know but I'm trying to think of something that I wear that's probably too young for me per se. And I can't think of nothing. And let me just say this. When them rocks, them old ass white men who like rockers, they still dress the same way they did when they was.
State Farm Narrator
No.
AJ Holiday
And definitely dressed like Jim Jones.
Tam Bam
Yeah, yeah. Nobody give them any shit about it. So Jim Jones wear that shit to you 97. I don't give a fuck. You can put that shit on nobody give them hell. Ain't nobody told Osby Osborne to dress your age.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
AJ Holiday
Because what is that though? You know? What is dressing for your age? Now I will say that I am guilty of telling my ex one day because I just was tired of seeing him with like sweatpants and a T shirt and a fitted hat like every fucking day. Like, where are your grown man clothes? You don't got no hard bottoms. Like, you know, every time we got to go someplace, you got to go buy something. Like where. Where your nice little fits at. You know what I'm saying? You should be able to do both sometimes.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
Or, you know, I'll just buy the things. I'll buy the things I want to see. See a a in Right.
Tam Bam
Because you know, I went, I went out with my yesterday and I. When he put on his outfit, I was like, it's kind of interesting choice to be out with me. Yeah.
AJ Holiday
Because it don't match.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
Match my aesthetic.
Tam Bam
Zero percent. Yeah. But I mean he is. I mean he is younger. So like he get a pass.
AJ Holiday
Would you. Would you rather be overdressed or underdressed?
Tam Bam
Usually, like, I don't believe in overdressed. You, you can never overdress. You can always underdress though. So I think no.
AJ Holiday
So living in Charleston, it's like I really. Even though I really don't give a fuck what people gonna have on, I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be my fly self. I'm gonna put on what I want to put on. But I do be feeling like when I, when I do decide to go out around here, I feel like I be wasting clothes. There are some of the young, like the girlies like in their little 30s, there's a little group of them that be extra fly, extra cute, got shit going on. And then my. My. My homegirl who I hang out with, like, we always gonna put that shit on. She goes out way more than me.
Tam Bam
But I'm like.
AJ Holiday
I always feel like I'm wasting clothes around this motherfucker because I. I wanna. Not that I'm trying to go out to, like, look. I want people, other people to look good too, where I'm going. Like, I wanna. I want it to be a fashion show. I do. I want all the bitches to be fly.
Tam Bam
Girl, I went to. So I felt cute in my little dress yesterday, y'. All. I. Me and AJ had dinner or. What was that brunch? I don't know. What time was it? Girl, that was dinner.
AJ Holiday
Girl, it was seven o' clock in the evening. And Tammy was like, this not dinner, this is lunch.
Tam Bam
But I went to this place shout out to. It was called Good Vibes Only. It's kind of hood, kind of hood. It wasn't. I felt like I wasn't matching.
AJ Holiday
Feel like. Did you feel like an auntie in there? Oh, okay.
Tam Bam
Would they be young?
AJ Holiday
Yeah, they be young in there.
Tam Bam
No, I feel. I feel. I felt like I fit right in in the age group.
AJ Holiday
Yeah, like, you childish.
Tam Bam
I know that. I can admit that.
AJ Holiday
I do go some places sometimes and feel old. Right? They got good ass food like Good Vibes and Gullah grooves say owned by the same people. They got good ass, the food gonna be consistent. But Good Vibes has turned into the hood because, I mean, you got the one nice spot where the grown people won't come. Who gonna go home at 10. And you gotta. The hood niggas, the Y N's is who gonna spend all the money. They gonna buy the bottles and all the things. So you gotta have something on a Tuesday. Was it packing there? Yeah, see, like. And I. I'm scared of that shit, though. But I do be feeling old amongst those kids.
Tam Bam
What you scared? Why you were scared? Why you be scared? It's dangerous.
AJ Holiday
Yeah. Charleston is not like a safe place, you know, Especially when it's too many.
Tam Bam
I should be scared, but I wasn't sure.
AJ Holiday
Them is nuts, man. And I mean, I think maybe even. Even that particular spot, they might have like 30, 30 something year old Y ins, you know what I'm saying? They ain't. They super, super duper young lions. These who got kids and they ain't really trying to lose their life on a Tuesday, so.
Tam Bam
But I knew I Knew that it was kind of hood because they bottom shelf tequila was called Bermuda, bitch. I ain't never heard of that. I was like, this might be the trenches a little bit.
AJ Holiday
Who do you think these fashion rules come from? Like wearing white. Can't wear white after Labor Day. And I always be like, bitch, please. White before Labor Day is after Labor Day, right? Is it not? When is the cutoff?
Tam Bam
Right? Like when does it start? You can wear winter white. That's what they say. I feel like that rule no longer applies. People wear what they want, you know. Yeah.
AJ Holiday
I wear flip flops in a dead ass cold ass winter.
Tam Bam
I wear socks and. And slides when it's cold. I will. I never wear no flip flop in the winter.
AJ Holiday
Really think it's celebrities that decide what people wearing, right? Because sometimes I feel like some of the clothes that people now choose to wear like out just a regular degla bitch going to a regular degular club. Like, you are not Beyonce. Why you got this on? It just.
Podcast Interjection/Background
It's just.
Tam Bam
Or Beyonce.
AJ Holiday
No, Beyonce is performing Beyonce on a regular day is not wearing this shit. That is a performance outfit.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
That type of all bra tops. See straight, see through. Like when did that start? Like I'm.
Tam Bam
We used to all.
AJ Holiday
We used to wear like the see through tops now with the bra jeans or something like that. But now like it'd be a whole see through. Yes. Yeah. You might have tape on your titties. When did we start dressing like strippers?
Tam Bam
Basically slip. Oh, you.
AJ Holiday
Oh, oh, auntie.
Tam Bam
It is funny.
AJ Holiday
Get into it, why don't you?
Tam Bam
It is slutty. I'm sorry.
AJ Holiday
Yeah. Because it's not like, that's not fashion. That's. That doesn't look nice. And then you know, what type of attention are you really looking for? Yeah, you gonna get it. And you mad when a come at you. Your out baby's out.
Tam Bam
Your whole ass is out.
AJ Holiday
I'm gonna get the same attention fully clothed.
Tam Bam
That part.
AJ Holiday
So really that's low self esteem when you think you got a dress like that for attention. I don't think it's.
Tam Bam
Some people be looking good in that shit though. But it's just like, girl, you gonna. You might be attracting the wrong type of energy. Unless that's the energy you want.
AJ Holiday
I mean, so people wearing like the thumb and then there's different levels to like the mesh, right? You have stuff that looks see through but not really see through. You know, it's like skin underneath there. But it's.
Tam Bam
It.
AJ Holiday
Even if even some. That have like the skin tone, liner, whatever. But some of them that have really, really small mess is just enough sexy. It's just a way to do all those things.
Tam Bam
I agree.
AJ Holiday
Right? But having some shit straight on where I can touch your skin through it. You're wilding with a thong on and pasties on your nipple or the ass
Tam Bam
out the skirt at the bottom. I don't like that either.
AJ Holiday
Y' all not getting paid like bitches who dress like that in a club and shit. Like, they're getting paid in the strip clubs and stuff. At least you just going outside like this for free.
Tam Bam
And then your butt like that. Your butt got pimples on it. Like, I shouldn't be able to see all that.
AJ Holiday
And then it's winter and you don't got no health care.
Tam Bam
Right. It's a lot of reasons why this is wrong. And that's just one thing. I mean, young girls, like my friend's daughter, she was like, it's just like cleavage. Like, just showing a little cleavage. Just. It's the same thing. No, not to me. It will never be the same because I don't have no right up under my titties. It would never be the same thing for me. There's a under there. You need to protect that. You need to guard that baby. Maybe I am, auntie.
AJ Holiday
I don't know. I mean, because in some. In some ways it does feel like sometimes like I do see a online. I think Jim Jones is probably the only man that gets heat for doing young shit, right? But women are always being told how they too old for some shit, you know? Too old to be talking like that. Too old to be wearing that.
Tam Bam
Too old to be in the Going to the club. Yeah.
AJ Holiday
Like, it's almost like we expected to fucking disappear at a certain age. Like, why are you seen, right?
Tam Bam
Why are you not a golden girl right now?
AJ Holiday
They expect you to be like Chinese women. Like, you will never see them bitches pregnant outside where they be at. Bright, we know y' all procreate because there's a lot of y'.
Bethenny Frankel

AJ Holiday
But where the fuck y' all be having them babies? I never seen a pregnant Indian lady. I never seen a pregnant Asian lady. What?

Bethenny Frankel

Tam Bam
First of all, these are jokes, everybody. No to the fake mail. These are jokes.
State Farm Sports Narrator
This past weekend, like every other Sunday, you were on the court with the guys, playing ball. Just a quick pickup game, living out your hoop dreams. No triple doubles, but mean set of three in between buckets. One of the homers mentioned, he closed on a new crib. This is big. And while everyone's asking about housewarming and making plans to celebrate, you're asking the real questions. Like, has he spoken to his State Farm agent yet about coverage? See, homeownership is one thing, but the right coverage is the real game changer. Even more than your last hot streak, it's how you protect your legacy. Dropping buckets and bars on the court. A State Farm agent can more than assist you with finding the right coverage for your new place. If you have a claim, your local agent can help you file it. Yep, that's right. Over the phone, in person, online, or on the app, they are ready to help you. And they don't drop the ball. You know what I mean? Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

Hey, everyone, it's Kal Penn. I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Paul Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook project, Hail Mary, Massive sci fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone, very far from Earth.
Ray Porter
I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections. And it's like, okay, yo, yo, yo. Is this indulgent? And I really thought about it. I was like, no. At this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that that deeply, emotionally affected me and I left it on the mic. That's great because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah, dude, me too.

AJ Holiday
BBL fashion might just be them cat suits like that. That mesh material that you could buy from the XXL stores and the hair store.
Tam Bam
Yes. Yeah, that.
AJ Holiday
That's folded up in a small tiny ass. Like if you could put all your clothes in a Ziploc bag, heading out of town. Like your clothes. The clothes is too little. All right, let's play a little quick game, right Quick. This is a fashion court, okay? So you got to let me know if this is age appropriate. Too young or. Confidence makes it work. And our age is a 52. 52 year old woman.
Tam Bam
Okay?
AJ Holiday
But these are 52 year Instagram aunties, okay? The fine ones that be working out and shit. A leather mini skirt, okay?
Tam Bam
This is gonna be all of them for me.
AJ Holiday
Yeah, for me too. Just for the sake of the game. Nike dunks.
Tam Bam
Confidence makes it work. I mean, it's just a sneaker. Like, you can't. Can you be too old for a sneaker? That's crazy.
AJ Holiday
I buy sneakers now because my mom was never buying none of the fly sneakers. Like, I had them basic ass Nikes from middle school to fucking high school till I started buying my own shit. So now, like, I love me. I got Jordans that people don't be having and I don't wear because I really wear my Jordans to the gym. Like some old classic shit and they be dirty. I like Kobe's. I like all that shit because I just wasn't getting it. So maybe it's a trauma. Trauma response. Why I be buying that type of shit now?
Tam Bam
Or you. I mean. Cause what then you. What you gonna have on a heel? That's right.
AJ Holiday
I'm wearing my sneakers bright pink here.
Tam Bam
I mean, it just depends on what you do. You can't go to an office with that. And it also depends on what type of office you work at. Cause some you can.
AJ Holiday
At this point, I wanted to do color hair. I was a blondie for many, many, many years. I was blue hair and pink hair, like in middle school and shit like that. I wore all the colors and I kind of feel like that is where it belonged.
Tam Bam
When we was in college, y' all actually had bust down, 42 inch, middle part blonde. Please don't play with her.
AJ Holiday
And listen, my. My roommate at the time, she was from the Bronx, right? She was like, yo, if you go to New York, you gonna look fucking crazy with that the very next semester when I tell you she was looking like me. Bitch, I'm a trendsetter. I came to Benedict with lashes on.
Charlamagne Tha God
I remember.
Tam Bam
And I did not know nothing about putting on a lash. And I remember Tina was putting on an eyelash and I was like, why the fuck is she doing that? Like, oh, my God.
AJ Holiday
And then I came to school with lashes on.
Tam Bam
I started doing it too.
AJ Holiday
I Came to school with lashes on, great contacts and Blahma. Fucking 24 inch at 18. And I have been doing that shit since the 10th grade.
Tam Bam
Blonde. Yes.
AJ Holiday
Girl, why this had to been either. It was 10th grade for sure. I had all Tommy Hilfiger. I didn't repeat nothing, bitch. For months, my sister was boosting all the shit. Bitch from. From JCPenney's and Bilks. Tommy Hilfiger. Down with the wet and wavy 24 inch.
Tam Bam
Hey, y' all was hiding that from your mama at the bus stop.
AJ Holiday
I had no choice because my mama had cut all my damn clothes up. I told you about that. Yeah, my mama cut all my hoochie clothes up. I have shit to wear to school that year. She cut my clothes up so bad, she almost cut her toe off.
Tam Bam
Damn. She.
AJ Holiday
She sliced right through her Nikes and still was wearing them. Shoes for two more years. Bikini on a vacation. Like, what I'm. I'm always. I'm always wearing a bikini.

AJ Holiday
Distressed jean.

Tam Bam
American Eagle, Yeah.
AJ Holiday
They jeans are good.
Tam Bam
And I get like a big ass size and then get it taken in at the waist. And it's just so cozy and cute.
AJ Holiday
Yeah, they foot nice. They fit nice in the ass, too. If you don't got no booty for real, go get you some of them American Eagle jeans. They gonna give you. They gonna give you some ass. They gonna get that ass.
Tam Bam
That's who it is. Aeropostale has good jeans things, too.
AJ Holiday
Bodycon dress with sneakers. I do that sometimes.
Tam Bam
I hate. I hate a dressing. It just depends. Because I hate a. A sneaker ball. A sneaker ball can go to hell. I don't know. I hate that. It don't never look nice to me.
AJ Holiday
I talk about, like a little, you know, regular cotton, little body con dress and some sneakers with some scrunchie socks. I do do that in like the fall time.
Tam Bam
Yeah, that's, that's okay. But a sneaker ball. Don't nobody do that no more, please. If you're listening and you trying to plan something, don't let it be that I hate that shit.
AJ Holiday
And then I, I, I don't like snooker balls either. I, I'll agree with that. Like them adult proms and all that shit.
Tam Bam
I'm cool.
AJ Holiday
I'm not wasting this fucking dress playing around with y'.
State Farm Sports Narrator
All.
Tam Bam
Yeah, with some sneakers on. I'm gonna put on a beautiful pumpkin, a beautiful heel with this beautiful dress. Because if we are playing basketball, I don't see the point of me having on a sneaker with this dress. Huh?
AJ Holiday
Do you like those little tiny handbags?
Tam Bam
Yeah, they're cute.
AJ Holiday
Yeah, but what? I, I'm such a bag lady, I guess, right? And I remember Tommy, Tommy said that somebody said something about her having a little bag. She was like, I don't, I don't carry baggage. And I'm like, you know what? You're right. Like, I really don't be needing all the shit I leave my house with. I literally have one purse and I have the big purse with all my bullshit in the backseat.
Tam Bam
She be you be like, prepared for everything.
AJ Holiday
I hate not having something I know I got, like, and I gotta buy it again.
Tam Bam
This bitch will pull out an air conditioner, portable charger. Oh, you got a battery. Hold on one second. I got it. The lights go out. This got a full size flashlight.
Bethenny Frankel
The
AJ Holiday
do be having everything you need, because why not? I hate not having what I need. I just like being prepared.
Tam Bam
This will have a microphone. There's a, like a, a microphone, a karaoke mic just ready to go in her purse.
Charlamagne Tha God
A wand.
Tam Bam
Why do you have a magic wand in your purse? Like, this is. Wow.
AJ Holiday
Now I do travel with the wine. I do. I just want to, like, make sure people have a good day. Like, maybe I can.
Tam Bam
That's so crazy that you had that in your purse.
AJ Holiday
I don't care in my purses. I don't want to break it. But I do be having that wand on me.
Tam Bam
Okay.
AJ Holiday
Anyway, this is fun. Let's get into some French tips right quick. And we're gonna get the up out of here. So my. I feel like just buy for your body type. That's my own thing. My only thing, right? Yes. Just because it can it, it says it's your size. Like, that doesn't mean you should wear it.
Tam Bam
Does that mean yes, but it's not, it's not wrong. It is Mean, but it's not wrong.
AJ Holiday
The old people gonna tell you that all the time. Baby, that don't look nice. They gonna say it just like that. Baby, that don't look nice. Like, you look uncomfortable and then you tugging that shit the whole time.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
You not comfortable. I just be wanting to be comfortable. And it's like, you know, if you gotta ask somebody too many times if this look good, it probably doesn't. Right.
Tam Bam
The fuck. Like, it just probably doesn't feel good in it. If you feel good in it though, by all means, wear that shit. I'm a. Yeah. Firm advocate for it. Don't matter how anybody else think you look in it. If you feel good in it, rock that shit.
Bethenny Frankel
Mm.
Tam Bam
Tailoring elevates everything. And that is so true. Yes, I will buy a cheap ass dress and then pay to get it tailored and make it look like it's expensive.
AJ Holiday
Exactly. Because that shit is like fitting your nice silhouette on.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
And I think that's something you. We gotta learn. I feel like I've been getting Taylor tailored for a long time, but probably started like in my 30s. Like you just was buying shit. It was a little too big, a little too small. You just go on about your business or here you are trying to sew some shit or bobby pin some shit up.
Tam Bam
I still do that. Put a safety pin somewhere up if I can't get it to alteration shopping time.
AJ Holiday
Yeah. But yeah, tailoring some shit, that's like next level grown lady shit. You want nice fitted clothing. Your man too. Confidence is the best accessory, but self awareness is also a close second.
Tam Bam
Right.
AJ Holiday
If you already uncomfortable before you even leave the house with that thing on, chances are you should leave it at home. Who are you wearing it for? Are you wearing it. You know, just so you can get attention? Is the attention. You getting the right attention? Bad intention, like.
Tam Bam
And you knew your titties was falling out of that before you left the house. Now you just holding your titties all night long.
AJ Holiday
Yeah.
Tam Bam
And are you having.
AJ Holiday
Whether women want to admit it or not, we do do a lot of things for the male gaze. We just do. And we do things for each other's gaze. Like, you want a bitch think to know you fly too. But I remember having a gold grill, which I want another one. And I am going to get one soon. I remember how I had a gold grill like most of high school and my mama hated that shit. And it wasn't until I met a nigga in the club. I'm. I'm fucking 15 in the in the 21 older club met a grown ass nigga. And then he like, man, you so fine, man. Why you got that that grill in your mouth? And it was that day I stopped wearing my grill because the told me
Tam Bam
it wasn't cool, you know.
AJ Holiday
So we do do things. Even though I liked it. Like I thought it was fly as hell. It was kind of ahead of the time, you know. But the said it wasn't it, so
Tam Bam
I stopped wearing it.
AJ Holiday
Now I wish I had my friend
Tam Bam
be making fun of me because I'll do this. Like we'll be like somewhere and I'll be like, come on dates with me and I will dance. But I'll be dancing for the I like that's over there. And she like, I am over here dancing. I thought we were dancing together. But you have not paid me not a liquor of attention this whole time. You just used me. You used me.
AJ Holiday
You know, Priscilla are so much alike. Y' all are such sex kittens. Okay? It's like Tammy the type of who put her little finger in her mouth like. Such a sex kitten. Look, look, look.
Bethenny Frankel
Look at here.
AJ Holiday
Flip it, flip it, flip it.
Tam Bam
Yes, that's my. I will definitely be grabbing in my hair and rolling my hair. She like, bitch, I'm about to go
AJ Holiday
see what you be hearing when you walking in there. My boys are puss when I walk into the room. That's what you be playing in your head when you walk in.
Tam Bam
It's Milkshake by Khalees. My milkshake brings all that boys to the yard.
AJ Holiday
Now I'm walking like a duck, bitch. Because both of us walk like ducks waddling.
Tam Bam
They get all sexy, but you waddling in the clinic.
AJ Holiday
Them like it.
Tam Bam
I know a like it. He with the ducks.
AJ Holiday
Trends should inspire your style. They shouldn't define it right? So we see like the celebrities wearing trendy type things. Everything is not for everyday living on the streets. That's just how I feel about it. Like all that. Some of that just belong on TV for entertainment purposes.
Tam Bam
I'm just whoever decided Kitten Heels was back. God bless you. I hope you have the best year ever. May your 2026 be fruitful, bitch. Because them kitten heels there was a time if you came out with a kitten, bitches be like, ew, grandma. Now kitten is in style. I love that for me always been
AJ Holiday
doing what the fuck I want. I can I vague, not vaguely. I distinctively remember my friends in college talking shit about me wearing a mule. Open toe like an open toe mule. Like with the Back that was just so whack to them. The very, like, next couple months later, these bitches got like. Because this is like, how is this ever whack? How is it ever whack? You remember those furlough bags? Like, the little clear furlough bags, the colorful ones? I was the first bitch in St. Louis in one of those. I swear to God, I bought that fucking furlough bag, and the rest of the city had it. Thereafter, I be saying motherfucking subtle little
Tam Bam
trends in my mind.
AJ Holiday
I swear, people don't be having shit. Motherfucking Michael Kors watch. I bought my watch in 2006. A bitch stole my shit in 2008. None of the bitches I was on vacation with had a Michael Kors watch, bro.
Tam Bam
I'm telling you, I used to love the Michael Kors watch. Latran. I used to buy them for my niggas. I was like, future, here go your ap.
AJ Holiday
But the original. Original Michael Kors, when they first came out, those big ones, the quality was totally different. It was real steel. It was very heavy. When. When the ship became, like, a trend, they became like the quality of it went down. It was so light. It was. It was fucking bullshit.
Tam Bam
Yeah.
AJ Holiday
I had the original, like, the first ones, bitch. And the bitch stole my damn watch. On vacation in Puerto Rico.
Tam Bam
Wow.
AJ Holiday
One of the girls I was on vacation with and this last French tip. Wear what makes you feel like your best self, not your younger self. I say do both.
Tam Bam
I'm about to say make just the first part. Leave it. Yeah. Wear what makes you feel like your best self, period. I'm all about that. Yeah.
AJ Holiday
So if you. If you feel like you look good, you do. Gotta ask too many different people too many different times. You're not sure.
Tam Bam
Leave it. Right?
AJ Holiday
Leave that. Because I know I've. I've definitely put some shit on and be like, damn, man, I should have. Like, right now, like, I'm trying to. I'm debating whether or not I'm wearing one thing, because I already know. Like, I'm already not comfortable, but how much of my titties is out.
Tam Bam
But I feel like it's an easy fix. You can sew that up.
AJ Holiday
Yeah. If I'm gonna be concerned about them titties all night, like, it's gonna bother me. I'll be looking down my Tip my nipple out.
Tam Bam
Like, girl, my top. At the concert, it was like, I got this super cute top from Naked Wardrobe, and it had long fringe all the way to the floor.
AJ Holiday
That's my other spot. Naked wardrobe.
Tam Bam
Yeah. And it was cute, but it just kept getting looser and looser. Like, the fabric was just like stretching. Cause we were sweating. It was hot. Girl, I had a needle thread in my purse. I went right in that bathroom and sold it so much. Right on shirt.
AJ Holiday
Yeah, I seen a picture with them titties, girl. I said, oh, we get them titties for. Girl, that titties are sitting in there.
