Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this edition of Big
Pipping trend Dingyee Okay, shout out you, g k Uh
and jay z on that even though we are celebrating
a Beyonce's musical contributions the last few days and probably
for the foreseeable future, as somehow the album does better
than all subsequent albums, which means sounds like the momentum
(00:23):
will not stop anyway. Thank you for joining me. I
am Miles Great and I'm joined by super producer Becca
Romo's Hi Hello Hello. I will say this, we want
to go deep. But something I love about her that
everything she puts out she is constantly always evolving into
like a newer, better, crazier skin and it's so cool.
(00:46):
I remember how I felt when beyonce Fel title dropped
and then like I don't even remember where I was. Um,
I was like all my way to Disney World, my family,
and then I remember when Lemonade dropped, I was like,
so you know, I just yeah. I mean, I learned
(01:06):
a lot of the words to the Beyonce self titled
album as I was courting somebody because I was like, oh,
this is their love language, and I'm like and I
I like music enough that I should not be this
ignorant about Beyonce. And then it it was a wrap
and I didn't even need that person anymore because then
I had anyway. Uh, it's Monday, it's August. First, we
(01:27):
gotta tell you what is trending over the weekend. Kind
of some sad news. We had a trifecta of passing
Pat Carroll, who you may know as the voice of
Ursula from the Little Mermaid. I certainly do, uh look
because I'm one of those poor unfortunate souls. Uh. Nichelle Nichols,
who played Hora in a Star Trek, obviously iconic uh performer. Yeah. Uh?
(01:51):
And also I think wasn't she's part of one of
the first like um like uh like black and white
on screen kisses. Right, Yes, that's why I mean, like
actual TV history, she is the first like interracial kiss interracial.
That was the word I was looking for you. I
was like when I was, I was gonna say, when
it's not a white person, I don't know why you're
(02:14):
here in tomorrow's episode. I think it's fucking October right now. Uh,
so bear with me as I get through all those
And then also Bill Russell, legendary basketball player for the Celtics. Uh,
fantastic player and coach also passed away, very very unfortunate.
Uh so rest in peace to them. Um let's see
which is so funny like basketball star Trek and Little Mermaid,
(02:38):
but very big things for I think a big iconic
Oh yeah yeah yeah, uh but how about some good news.
The Mexican pizzas trending. Why we'll guess the funk what
we've been talking about, how the return of the king
as as what I call the Mexican pizza um came
back recently. Wasn't sure if it's going to be permanent.
(03:01):
Well now we do have it on good authority that
it will be on a permanent return this September. So
shout out to all the cardiologists out there who will
be trying to convince people to stop eating like that.
But the way I look at it, I haven't had
it in a long time, so yeah, maybe I can
eat it for three straight months. Yeah, absolutely, Relax a bit,
(03:21):
Thank god. I don't know. You know, you need a
drunken food and the maximum pizzas back and what's your
You have a favorite drunkn food you eat oh, hard question.
I feel like our name like, name a handful, No,
I do have. You do have one particular and it
is very embarrassing. Um, it is so first frozen to
(03:43):
noodle castle. Okay, sorry, I'm discussing. It is colloquially used
to be known as when I was in high school,
the mccang bang, which is when you take a chicken
and a mc double and you put them together. That
is my drunk food. I always feel horrible after, but
in the moment, that is so wild that you go
(04:06):
like that is just nailed on. You're like, because say
it's McDonald's, gonna McDonald's every time, He's like, I hate
you and I hate this. This is the grossest thing
I've ever seen you eat in my life. And I
will eat the whole thing, and if I'm really hungry,
I'll add on some nuggets. There you go, There you go.
I don't need them. Shout out to true Americans. Uh,
(04:29):
do you ever do the mick surfing turf? No? No,
that's a double quarter pounder with the fish filet. Yeah,
I know, I'm too afraid of the Guess who's nasty
enough for that? Look if so, I love that fast
food fish. I think it's my japaneseness. I can't say
no to fish, even if even if it's the most
(04:50):
disrespectful version of it possible. I'm like, I don't know,
because you know why my mom went in the eighties.
She didn't like, like, she didn't want me eat the
McDonald's beef, so I could only eat filet of fish
because in her mind she's like, see, Japanese people live
long because they eat fish, and beef didn't really come
to like the Second World War, so why don't you
(05:12):
get on that diet? And I'm like, this is deep
fried ship. But man, when he used to come in
the blue styrofoam box, have such like nostalgic memories for
that fucking thing because it was like different than everybody
else when they had their meat based sandwiches. Anyway, I
love that though. That is like endearing and comical because
(05:32):
it's just not how it simply America works. No, not
at all, but you know that's that's where we find ourselves. Uh.
And then the next thing trending is music Midtown. So
Atlanta has this festival of the Music Midtown Festival, and
it's been canceled for like the most fucked up Republican
controlled reasons. Ever, because of George's gun laws, right, the
(05:54):
festival said, we don't want weapons at the festival. We
want to ban people from entering, right, we want to
far people from entering a music festival with them things
on them, and but unfortunately the courts have basically said
they do not have the standing to supersede the law
and enforce its own band because there's like other stuff
(06:16):
where you don't even need a permit to like carry anymore.
It's it's really fucked up. So a lot of people
are looking at this and saying, like what the funk
is this? Like you're you're actually you're We're now looking
at a situation with these gun laws like in states
like Georgia where you can't even say hey, to be safe,
like leave the fucking blamers at the door. Um, it's
(06:37):
so crazy that like it is so Republican that they
can't just chill about it. You know. It's like it's
like some things, it's like yeah, that's a law, but
like we're going to do our thing, and like you know,
we're gonna respect you doing your thing for this event.
But it's like the Republicans were like, no, we will
bring our guns to this festival, so watch out. And
(06:58):
it's like good on the festival for canceling, just like
you know, caving. But damn that's scary and sad because
it's like so many places, so many mass like concert events,
we have had major shootings that in the past, you know,
I mean, we constantly have a rolling mass shooting population issue.
But you know, I can think of like three or
four that are like on the top list of like
(07:20):
these are in memoriums for like mass shootings in this
country that are festivals. Are we Yeah, public safety is
secondary to the fucking gum humping um yeah, it's it's
it's really wild. Uh and it really shows you again
just like how how just the many ways that these
(07:41):
kinds of policies just like affect so many people because
that's that's money to work an event, you know what
I mean. The All Star Game was supposed to be
in Georgia and it wasn't because of the politics. Like whatever,
this is, Uh, this is our our American normal. All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to
talk about good news. And we're back Spellman Spellman College,
(08:13):
the Historical Black College, part of the HBC Youth They
have a new admission. They have they've admitted a new
student this fault. They will be welcoming none other than
Angelina Jolie's daughter, Zahara. This is so wild to me
on so many levels. I'm like, good on you for like,
I'm sure, I'm I don't know how you were raised,
(08:34):
but I'm sure being adopted you have many questions about
who you are and the cultures and communities that you're
a part of, uh that you hopefully will find that.
But also I never felt more fucking old in my
life because we saw baby pictures of her and now
she's college. What the fuck? I don't yo, This is
(08:55):
so fucking wild to me. That's how I feel about
hearing about any of the Angelina Jolie kids because or
I should say that brad Elina kids, because I distinctly
remember and I know I am younger than you, but
I do remember the era of like when they adopted
all of them, and this is all the odds, and
I you know, I was young, but it was like
(09:15):
very much part of cultural commentary. And now I'm like, oh,
they're all like adults, like they're all coming of age
teenagers and adults like starting their lives. That's fucking Shiloh motherfuckers.
Zahara Zahara uh Maddox got a fucking receding hairline. That's
how old he is. He balder than me? How what
(09:36):
is going on with time? But I guess that makes sense.
She was. It's wild because I remember when they adopted
her or I don't know if it was together, if
they you know, because everyone's saying, like Angelina Jolie not
talking about Brad Pitt in this case, like I was
just getting out of college and now she's going in
the car. Now you're going in. I am y'all are
(09:58):
hearing someone who is quite forty yet like just deal
with the passage of time and in real time right
now on a microphone, and it's sucking them up right now.
I don't know what else I mean, I feel you.
I went, you know, to my al thea mater this
weekend and I was like, I feel old in the city.
Doesn't I feel like it was when I would? You
(10:19):
still look like you could be an arc you know
what I mean? You still look young enough that you
couldn't ar get up on a college campus, so keep it.
You know. I thought you're gonna say, like I was
there and the keynote speaker was Northwest, because I feel
like Northwest is about to be in college or some
ship too. I mean, every time I look at a
(10:40):
picture of her, I'm like, oh, she's like a preteen.
Like that to me is shocking Blue Ivy like seventeen
looking now, I'm like, what the fuck is Like they
got their hair done, nails done, everything done. But they're like,
you know, yeah there, it's just again in the past
of the time. Something to Bold, I don't know why.
(11:04):
I'm like, sorrow joy Pit just got into spelment. It
feels like like a I don't know, like a Simpsons
line where they're like predicting the future. But it was
like very accurate. But we would have been saying making
this joke like fifteen years ago. Anyway. Cool Neam is
also trending. You may have seen this pictures of like
(11:24):
the Line, which is like this emission free smart city
that Saudi Arabia is trying to build a lot of,
Like their recent stuff is sort of like revolving around
this like the Line and like Mega City project, but
this thing looked like a big as mirror laid on
its side. Uh that is supposed to be ran solely
on renewable energy and if built according to plan, will
(11:49):
measure one five miles long. So um, so check that out.
I don't know, who are kind of jarring. They look
very much like, um, what's the movie Inception you know?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because it is tribute to
(12:09):
see like a reflective building just sort of like dumped
in the middle of like a very like minimal looking landscape. Yeah,
it's uh, I don't know. I mean like a lot
of the articles just like I mean, yeah, like they're
trying to say they're going to do a lot, but
you know, like most things in this in this world,
I'll believe it when I see it. Yeah, And I
(12:29):
just wonder when it comes to uh, smart cities and
you know, the renewable energy and all those things, which
is like obviously the direction we want to go, Like
every day we're talking something about climate change. Um, I
just wonder what they're doing to actually help the house
like those that like it's like this seems like this
(12:50):
is for the privilege, rightly, this is a utopia that
excludes you know, people who are in marginalized capacities and
need help in totality, like it's very like Uncanny Valley
looking to me. Yeah, I mean this this looks like
the like Elysium kind of ship like, but on Earth
(13:11):
it's like who will make it on the mirror Blade
building that it will save you from terrible climate change?
I don't know, I'm I'm not sure what MBS is
like Charitable Givings Streak is like, but I will bet
money that this is not for broke boys, you know,
only the ballers. Okay, okay, uh, but it looks I
(13:34):
mean it looks like that kind of ship like when
I was a kids, like whoa sci fi? Does? It
looks like sci Fi? And Earth, which is also scary.
It's like, no, we're already here, so I find on Earth.
And the last thing that's trending gotta check in with
Elon Musk just because his dad, Eryl went on some
show and just started talking about his own son and
like I'm trying to be like, oh no, wonder like this,
(13:57):
um so Eryl Musk, he was asked, you know, just
very simply, hey, like you know, are you proud of
your son? You know, for all his you know his
businesses and his achievements and being like, you know, a
billionaire and he just straight up said no, and then
he then he clarified, goes, you know, we're a family
that have been doing a lot of things for a
(14:17):
long time. It's not as if we suddenly started doing something,
which I like love that ship, like where he's like, oh,
so he forgot I was running an apartheid era fucking
Emerald mind that paid for all this ship. Okay, and
now you want to talk about money. Okay, Okay. No,
I'm not proud of him because he did not do
that ship on his own. Like that is. I just
love the fucking pettiness of being like I resent my
(14:41):
son for having the advantages I gave them made for him.
But you know what, that's a lot of rich people.
I feel like it's like so confusing. Like I know
a few people that it's like their parents still very
much financially support them, but then down to them and it's, well,
you're not letting them be financially independent either. It's almost
(15:03):
like a cuck that you have over them to be
financially beholden like that. It's like, oh, well, like I'm
just gonna give them a job and I'm gonna fund
their lifestyle and I'm gonna do this in that but
I'm gonna be mad that they're like not doing X,
Y and Z. And it's like because also they feel
like they have to make these decisions because you're paying
for their life. Also, it's like the cycle that's like
(15:25):
I can't feel bad for you because like, wow, what
it's like to grow with money, but I can sympathize
that your parents are also emotionally damage in different ways. Yeah,
I mean I'm like, oh, ship you fit in with,
Like you know, I grew up with a lot of
kids about like wealthy parents, but especially like if the
if the dad was like super successful, it made for
(15:47):
a weird situation for like the sun and in that
context to where like they are kind of being like, hey,
you know, like off with the bill for stuff. But
then I'll be like, how come you not doing all
this stuff? Because you you coddled this person to the
point that they You're like, my son is not gonna work,
And cut to now your son is an adult with
no work ethic or like any concept of value. And
(16:08):
in this case, because the shell of a person based
on the decisions that you forced them to make because
you were paying for everything. We're talking and you know
what we're talking about other people. We're not talking about
motherfucking you deserve your dad, sir, um he said. Also,
then this man goes on to start body shaming his
(16:30):
own son. He says, Elon is very well built. He
is very very strongly built, but he's been eating badly.
I've been telling him to take a sort of supplement.
I saw something called Garcinia Cambodia that does a lot
to bring your weight down. It certainly did mine. So
what are you talk in weird fucking diet ship now,
(16:51):
and you're it sounds like a narcissist to me. Narcissist
bread narcissist. That crazy. And then the second half of
that quote, um or yeah. He states that owning an
entire fleet of luxury cars, he doesn't own a single Tesla.
That is some dark ship that it's best letting you know.
He's like, that's not a luxury car. That's a toy,
y'all got you put you have to plug it in?
(17:12):
What is it a PlayStation? No? I will get in
my my bock and fucking be gone. And throw deuces
at the at the pensants. But yeah, wow, a guy
who will never be good enough for dad is sucking
in the driver's seat of billions of dollars that will
go well, oh yeah, dad, you can wait till I
(17:33):
own Twitter. No, no, well, just give your money away.
You want to piss your dad off if you really
want Yeah, if you really want to piss your dad off,
maybe you need to be a class trader, homie, you
know what I mean? Think about that. Hop on in,
bro Although I'm low key if you did, we were
still clown your ass till the end. We're not gonna
forget all that has been done, you know, damn has
(17:54):
been done. But the thing is, at least you will
be on the protective scrolls. Yes, you know that's the
one thing. But you will be can eat the rich
if you're not rich exactly, would be like, oh no,
it's not you, you're broke now, But where's your dad
at all? Right? Uh? Well, thanks so much Becca for
joining me. Also quick, we'll have an update from you
from your teacher, just to let you know. Just a
(18:15):
quick update, Zi, gang, you came through and fulfilled everything
on that list. I'm retweeting some stuff, and I'm going
to try and find a way to keep potentially because
a few of you have reached out with your own
wish lists. Uh look at my Twitter or daily Zychi Twitter.
I'm gonna keep retweeting those things. Uh, and we'll try
and I don't know, I feel like there's a way
to make this more organized. Absolutely. Yeah. I want to
(18:37):
say personally, thank you so much for y'all. Are Z
Gang is incredible. I literally was speechless when Miss Ortega
texted me about everything. She wants to give a formal
thank you, so look out for that on our socials
this coming week. But yeah, like, thank you so much.
It means the world to me, meant the world to
her to get those bookshelves. So whoever did that, thank
(18:57):
you so much. It's crazy. And English teacher doesn't have
books a bookshop for her books for her classroom. So
you really made a huge difference in a teacher's life.
And I and he could not thank you enough. Thank you. Yeah.
See on a positive note, uh, ignore that toxic daddy stuff.
We were to rich and do a nice thing for
(19:20):
a teacher today. Yeah, for real, please do because I said,
chances are we owe a lot to a teacher. I know,
I know pretty much everything, uh, you know, outside of
my family, but teachers played such a pivotal role. Look,
I know my mom listens, she'll be something like, oh
so I did nothing. Oh so you're also your teachers
taught you Japanese, so you can read and write Japanese
(19:40):
because your teachers are not our cousin. Okay, just just
making sure, all right, anyway, thanks so much for listening, y'all.
We will be back tomorrow with a whole new episode.
Until then, take care of yourselves, take care of each other.
Get the mask, get the vaccine. And when I say
get the mask, I mean the mask from the movie
The Mask, so you can be like Stanley I thing
and cause a scene in New York City. Uh. And also, yeah,
(20:03):
take care of yourself and please don't do anything, No,
don't do nothing in the face of white supremacy or homophobia, misogyny, transphobia,
nothing like that, because we pretty much need to live
in a world where we funk with everybody. That's that
actually actually will create the biggest team on earth. See
when you start saying I only folk with people to
do this isn't this then your team is this big.
(20:24):
But if you say I funk with everybody, if they're
just trying to, you know, live happy. Now, you gotta fun. Now,
you gotta squad. Okay, until then, we'll talk to you.

Atlanta has this festival of the Music Midtown Festival, and
it's been canceled for like the most fucked up Republican
controlled reasons. Ever, because of George's gun laws, right, the
(05:54):
festival said, we don't want weapons at the festival. We
want to ban people from entering, right, we want to
far people from entering a music festival with them things
on them, and but unfortunately the courts have basically said
they do not have the standing to supersede the law
and enforce its own band because there's like other stuff

But it's like the Republicans were like, no, we will
bring our guns to this festival, so watch out. And
(06:58):
it's like good on the festival for canceling, just like
you know, caving. But damn that's scary and sad because
it's like so many places, so many mass like concert events,
we have had major shootings that in the past, you know,
I mean, we constantly have a rolling mass shooting population issue.
But you know, I can think of like three or
four that are like on the top list of like
(07:20):
these are in memoriums for like mass shootings in this
country that are festivals. Are we Yeah, public safety is
secondary to the fucking gum humping um yeah, it's it's
it's really wild. Uh and it really shows you again
just like how how just the many ways that these
(07:41):
kinds of policies just like affect so many people because
that's that's money to work an event, you know what
I mean. The All Star Game was supposed to be
in Georgia and it wasn't because of the politics. Like whatever,
this is, Uh, this is our our American normal. All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to
talk about good news. And we're back Spellman Spellman College,
(08:13):
the Historical Black College, part of the HBC Youth They
have a new admission. They have they've admitted a new
student this fault. They will be welcoming none other than
Angelina Jolie's daughter, Zahara. This is so wild to me
on so many levels. I'm like, good on you for like,
I'm sure, I'm I don't know how you were raised,
(08:34):
but I'm sure being adopted you have many questions about
who you are and the cultures and communities that you're
a part of, uh that you hopefully will find that.
But also I never felt more fucking old in my
life because we saw baby pictures of her and now
she's college. What the fuck? I don't yo, This is
(08:55):
so fucking wild to me. That's how I feel about
hearing about any of the Angelina Jolie kids because or
I should say that brad Elina kids, because I distinctly
remember and I know I am younger than you, but
I do remember the era of like when they adopted
all of them, and this is all the odds, and
I you know, I was young, but it was like
(09:15):
very much part of cultural commentary. And now I'm like, oh,
they're all like adults, like they're all coming of age
teenagers and adults like starting their lives. That's fucking Shiloh motherfuckers.
Zahara Zahara uh Maddox got a fucking receding hairline. That's
how old he is. He balder than me? How what
(09:36):
is going on with time? But I guess that makes sense.
She was. It's wild because I remember when they adopted
her or I don't know if it was together, if
they you know, because everyone's saying, like Angelina Jolie not
talking about Brad Pitt in this case, like I was
just getting out of college and now she's going in
the car. Now you're going in. I am y'all are
(09:58):
hearing someone who is quite forty yet like just deal
with the passage of time and in real time right
now on a microphone, and it's sucking them up right now.
I don't know what else I mean, I feel you.
I went, you know, to my al thea mater this
weekend and I was like, I feel old in the city.
Doesn't I feel like it was when I would? You
(10:19):
still look like you could be an arc you know
what I mean? You still look young enough that you
couldn't ar get up on a college campus, so keep it.
You know. I thought you're gonna say, like I was
there and the keynote speaker was Northwest, because I feel
like Northwest is about to be in college or some
ship too. I mean, every time I look at a
(10:40):
picture of her, I'm like, oh, she's like a preteen.
Like that to me is shocking Blue Ivy like seventeen
looking now, I'm like, what the fuck is Like they
got their hair done, nails done, everything done. But they're like,
you know, yeah there, it's just again in the past
of the time. Something to Bold, I don't know why.
(11:04):
I'm like, sorrow joy Pit just got into spelment. It
feels like like a I don't know, like a Simpsons
line where they're like predicting the future. But it was
like very accurate. But we would have been saying making
this joke like fifteen years ago. Anyway. Cool Neam is
also trending. You may have seen this pictures of like
(11:24):
the Line, which is like this emission free smart city
that Saudi Arabia is trying to build a lot of,
Like their recent stuff is sort of like revolving around
this like the Line and like Mega City project, but
this thing looked like a big as mirror laid on
its side. Uh that is supposed to be ran solely
on renewable energy and if built according to plan, will
(11:49):
measure one five miles long. So um, so check that out.
I don't know, who are kind of jarring. They look
very much like, um, what's the movie Inception you know?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because it is tribute to
(12:09):
see like a reflective building just sort of like dumped
in the middle of like a very like minimal looking landscape. Yeah,
it's uh, I don't know. I mean like a lot
of the articles just like I mean, yeah, like they're
trying to say they're going to do a lot, but
you know, like most things in this in this world,
I'll believe it when I see it. Yeah, And I
(12:29):
just wonder when it comes to uh, smart cities and
you know, the renewable energy and all those things, which
is like obviously the direction we want to go, Like
every day we're talking something about climate change. Um, I
just wonder what they're doing to actually help the house
like those that like it's like this seems like this
(12:50):
is for the privilege, rightly, this is a utopia that
excludes you know, people who are in marginalized capacities and
need help in totality, like it's very like Uncanny Valley
looking to me. Yeah, I mean this this looks like
the like Elysium kind of ship like, but on Earth
(13:11):
it's like who will make it on the mirror Blade
building that it will save you from terrible climate change?
I don't know, I'm I'm not sure what MBS is
like Charitable Givings Streak is like, but I will bet
money that this is not for broke boys, you know,
only the ballers. Okay, okay, uh, but it looks I
(13:34):
mean it looks like that kind of ship like when
I was a kids, like whoa sci fi? Does? It
looks like sci Fi? And Earth, which is also scary.
It's like, no, we're already here, so I find on Earth.
And the last thing that's trending gotta check in with
Elon Musk just because his dad, Eryl went on some
show and just started talking about his own son and
like I'm trying to be like, oh no, wonder like this,
(13:57):
um so Eryl Musk, he was asked, you know, just
very simply, hey, like you know, are you proud of
your son? You know, for all his you know his
businesses and his achievements and being like, you know, a
billionaire and he just straight up said no, and then
he then he clarified, goes, you know, we're a family
that have been doing a lot of things for a
(14:17):
long time. It's not as if we suddenly started doing something,
which I like love that ship, like where he's like, oh,
so he forgot I was running an apartheid era fucking
Emerald mind that paid for all this ship. Okay, and
now you want to talk about money. Okay, Okay. No,
I'm not proud of him because he did not do
that ship on his own. Like that is. I just
love the fucking pettiness of being like I resent my
(14:41):
son for having the advantages I gave them made for him.
But you know what, that's a lot of rich people.
I feel like it's like so confusing. Like I know
a few people that it's like their parents still very
much financially support them, but then down to them and it's, well,
you're not letting them be financially independent either. It's almost
(15:03):
like a cuck that you have over them to be
financially beholden like that. It's like, oh, well, like I'm
just gonna give them a job and I'm gonna fund
their lifestyle and I'm gonna do this in that but
I'm gonna be mad that they're like not doing X,
Y and Z. And it's like because also they feel
like they have to make these decisions because you're paying
for their life. Also, it's like the cycle that's like
(15:25):
I can't feel bad for you because like, wow, what
it's like to grow with money, but I can sympathize
that your parents are also emotionally damage in different ways. Yeah,
I mean I'm like, oh, ship you fit in with,
Like you know, I grew up with a lot of
kids about like wealthy parents, but especially like if the
if the dad was like super successful, it made for
(15:47):
a weird situation for like the sun and in that
context to where like they are kind of being like, hey,
you know, like off with the bill for stuff. But
then I'll be like, how come you not doing all
this stuff? Because you you coddled this person to the
point that they You're like, my son is not gonna work,
And cut to now your son is an adult with
no work ethic or like any concept of value. And
(16:08):
in this case, because the shell of a person based
on the decisions that you forced them to make because
you were paying for everything. We're talking and you know
what we're talking about other people. We're not talking about
motherfucking you deserve your dad, sir, um he said. Also,
then this man goes on to start body shaming his
(16:30):
own son. He says, Elon is very well built. He
is very very strongly built, but he's been eating badly.
I've been telling him to take a sort of supplement.
I saw something called Garcinia Cambodia that does a lot
to bring your weight down. It certainly did mine. So
what are you talk in weird fucking diet ship now,
(16:51):
and you're it sounds like a narcissist to me. Narcissist
bread narcissist. That crazy. And then the second half of
that quote, um or yeah. He states that owning an
entire fleet of luxury cars, he doesn't own a single Tesla.
That is some dark ship that it's best letting you know.
He's like, that's not a luxury car. That's a toy,
y'all got you put you have to plug it in?
(17:12):
What is it a PlayStation? No? I will get in
my my bock and fucking be gone. And throw deuces
at the at the pensants. But yeah, wow, a guy
who will never be good enough for dad is sucking
in the driver's seat of billions of dollars that will
go well, oh yeah, dad, you can wait till I
(17:33):
own Twitter. No, no, well, just give your money away.
You want to piss your dad off if you really
want Yeah, if you really want to piss your dad off,
maybe you need to be a class trader, homie, you
know what I mean? Think about that. Hop on in,
bro Although I'm low key if you did, we were
still clown your ass till the end. We're not gonna
forget all that has been done, you know, damn has
(17:54):
been done. But the thing is, at least you will
be on the protective scrolls. Yes, you know that's the
one thing. But you will be can eat the rich
if you're not rich exactly, would be like, oh no,
it's not you, you're broke now, But where's your dad
at all? Right? Uh? Well, thanks so much Becca for
joining me. Also quick, we'll have an update from you
from your teacher, just to let you know. Just a
(18:15):
quick update, Zi, gang, you came through and fulfilled everything
on that list. I'm retweeting some stuff, and I'm going
to try and find a way to keep potentially because
a few of you have reached out with your own
wish lists. Uh look at my Twitter or daily Zychi Twitter.
I'm gonna keep retweeting those things. Uh, and we'll try
and I don't know, I feel like there's a way
to make this more organized. Absolutely. Yeah. I want to
(18:37):
say personally, thank you so much for y'all. Are Z
Gang is incredible. I literally was speechless when Miss Ortega
texted me about everything. She wants to give a formal
thank you, so look out for that on our socials
this coming week. But yeah, like, thank you so much.
It means the world to me, meant the world to
her to get those bookshelves. So whoever did that, thank
(18:57):
you so much. It's crazy. And English teacher doesn't have
books a bookshop for her books for her classroom. So
you really made a huge difference in a teacher's life.
And I and he could not thank you enough. Thank you. Yeah.
See on a positive note, uh, ignore that toxic daddy stuff.
We were to rich and do a nice thing for
(19:20):
a teacher today. Yeah, for real, please do because I said,
chances are we owe a lot to a teacher. I know,
I know pretty much everything, uh, you know, outside of
my family, but teachers played such a pivotal role. Look,
I know my mom listens, she'll be something like, oh
so I did nothing. Oh so you're also your teachers
taught you Japanese, so you can read and write Japanese
(19:40):
because your teachers are not our cousin. Okay, just just
making sure, all right, anyway, thanks so much for listening, y'all.
We will be back tomorrow with a whole new episode.
Until then, take care of yourselves, take care of each other.
Get the mask, get the vaccine. And when I say
get the mask, I mean the mask from the movie
The Mask, so you can be like Stanley I thing
and cause a scene in New York City. Uh. And also, yeah,
(20:03):
take care of yourself and please don't do anything, No,
don't do nothing in the face of white supremacy or homophobia, misogyny, transphobia,
nothing like that, because we pretty much need to live
in a world where we funk with everybody. That's that
actually actually will create the biggest team on earth. See
when you start saying I only folk with people to
do this isn't this then your team is this big.
(20:24):
But if you say I funk with everybody, if they're
just trying to, you know, live happy. Now, you gotta fun. Now,
you gotta squad. Okay, until then, we'll talk to you.
Then I always say that ship all right, Bye bye
