Jamila Map.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Are you high already, bitch? Not yet. I'm Erica and
I love smoking marijuana and flowers. Wait, I mean just flowers,

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Look, I'm a real woman now, is that what qualifies? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
You know, if you're not on YouTube, you're really missing
this pale five action.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
You're gonna really get this episode unmonetized, aren't you.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm just moving my thigh.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
God, you know that's illegal in YouTube worlds.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I know the Internet hates sexy black moms.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I realized I had a realization recently that, like, I think,
Luna told me she was looking at ASMR. I said
this already and I was like, no, why she said what?
She was looking at our ASMR video And I was like,
She's like, I didn't watch the whole thing. I was like, oh, God,
you don't have the ship blocked on her shoe. Don't
girl give me.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Luna's fucking iPad. She already done seen everything. She better
not go.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Look, she doesn't care to hear us talk.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I just don't need her looking up certain shit that
I don't need Ireny know about our family. I don't
need I don't need Luna exposing Irin's secret things that
she don't know about yet.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I don't think they're reading the tabloids. Dead lucky for
them or Twitter, because then be in it. We'd have
a lot of explaining to do. Lucy, why is give
me that phone?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Why are you on X? Anyway, Good moms, those flowers.
This is a segment on Exclusive to YouTube where we
smoke flowers, talk flowers, comment on social culture things.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
And be delicate like flowers.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Be delicate like flowers. These are short, cute episodes. So
if you're at home, if you're at the office, go
to your car and get your marijuana.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
This is your cueue.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
This is time to rolla pause the video. Go get
your weed, your wine, whatever your vice is, go get it.

(04:04):
I'm gonna be smoking Backwood. I don't know if you
guys have tried the new true raps from Backwoods, because
these are these are made for bitches. True raps are
made for the.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Bitches, blended for the thug.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm gonna just god that it was inspired by us. Yeah,
because they said, those bitches keep putting honey on the backwood.
Let me just make a delicate rap for them.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
We're fucking forgot the honey in the office.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
We don't need honey, because today I'm rolling a good
old fashioned blunt. No honey, good old nigga blunt. It's
a regular studio in studio shop, Saliva flowers and vibes.
Saliva flowers and vibes, can't wait, good old og backwood.

(04:49):
But this is the true rap.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
It's the old school blunt with the new true rap.
You know, we're just combining things like you know, good
moms were innovative.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
That's what we do. Old school nude school makes something new.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
And you know, I like true wraps because they come
already done for you.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, this is a this is a game change.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
There's no guessing because, bitch, you're trying to cut a backwood.
It's like a science problem.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
No, because you're not supposed to cut of just unravel them.
But it took us about six months to eighteen you
and know you as.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You ask multiple people, there's different ways. Some people cut
their backwards. They need scissors, like there's a whole operation
that needs to happen. But with the true wraps you
don't have to do that. It leaves the guessing out
of blunt wrapping.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I feel like they're a little bit like a lighter too,
like your lighter. With blunts, we're scrubbing, we're dipping in water.
You know we're infusing this one. It just is ready
to go.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
No smell it though it also has a lighter scent
to it.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
It does, it does.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, we asked our tribe husband to go across the
street and get us some hybrid flowers because the one
I brought was an indica And we have to record
another episode after this, and bitch, we might be sleep.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
It wasn't gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
But today's cannabis is mimosa. Can we get a Can

edit Orlando show?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
The people lean a little bit more floors.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
It's beautiful. Oh is it out of focus? Well, maybe
I got to do it back here. I get this beautiful.
What do you think the censor.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Definitely notes of lemon, but it's almost like a is
it orange mandarin?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's like a sweet It's not it is like mandarin.
It's like a tangerine or something.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Well, I guess it's mimosa. It's champagne and orange juice.

But for a roll this blunt, I want to shout
out Tanya Tihana. She was our guest a few weeks ago,
and this is her little line that she has of
these cute little cannabis like end end smokers.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
They're called filters filters, glass filters, glass filters.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
And they're really cute and pretty, and I thought it
would be adorable in my og blunt. Even though we're
rolling it with just the live of cannabis and vibes,
still gotta.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Make it cute. Gotta add the dick.

Speaker 2 (08:00):

Cute little trinkets. Make smoking cute again, for no fucking reason,
Make smoking cute again. I don't know if it's ever cute.
Make smoking cute now.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
It can be there.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
It was cute back in the day when bitches had
the long, skinny cigarettes.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's what I want to go back to. Oh this
is my.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
This is my era of cigarette when you can hold
it like this and say, what was that, Frankie, what
was that?

Speaker 3 (08:26):
You said?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's when it was sexy, like Marilyn Monroe days. That's
when women smoking cigarettes was sexy. Do you remember when that
was a thing, like smoking on planes and like sexy
women smoking cigarettes.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
I mean, I don't think we were alive, but I
do know we were little people were smoking cigarettes when
you're on the plane.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
No, not that it was sexy, still sexy.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
You know what we don't have, which was would never
have whenever we fucking do this segment a lighter.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Then we have the little trinkets, We got tea, we
got honey, we got everything.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
But do we have a lighter?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
No? Hell no, no lighters here.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wow, that's just like that's just like all smoke sessions, right,
you have all the tools except the goddamn lighter.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Oh we get better than a lighter. You brought our
very own special magical pink the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Pink matches beautiful, they say, manifest with us on the front,
Good Vibe.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Retreat on the back. Okay, because branding.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't know if you guys know, but we're branding geniuses,
chief branding officers over here at Good Moms, Goodbybe Retreat.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Whatever business is do we have?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
This is not going well. I realized that.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
You seems like you're we're supposed to put it.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
After, like you shove it in at the end. I
don't supposed to.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Shove anything at the end. I don't think you's woos
to shove anything in.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
I mean not not not typically in anything else. But
I think at and you shove it in.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
This is typically why I don't roll with I don't
roll with filters. Even when I rolled joints. Remember when
men lighting your cigarette was like the most romantic gesture
you could ever do. Like here, bitch died, like you're
in an alleyway and you just like get out a
long cigarette and.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
They're like, let me give you cancer today, baby, And.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Then they appear in a coat and just a ladder and.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I had a strong cigarette phase, did you?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
What was your cigarette that you smoked?

Speaker 3 (10:29):
I don't remember because it was that long ago.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Maybe like a Menthol, went a long Menthol because I
oh slim, like the Virginia slims.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
I like skinny and long. Oh my god, what the
what idiot?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Even then?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Wow, I've always liked the long, skinny Sirut. That's only
reason I really wanted to smoke it. Danielle's mom used
to smoke, and it's oh god, this is.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
How you know? This is the oj one. You love me.
You've exchanged bodily fluids from this before.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't know about more than that. That's a lot
of bodily fluids over there.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I'm clean. I got tested recently.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I've definitely gotten drunk on many occasions in corner to
Erica into a three way case on special occasions.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
We never. I'm just this last time you fucking said
everyone never speak of that time in Atlanta where we
did that thing. So now this better. I'm gonna put

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Oh screw screwed. It's Alma.

I love you. I don't know with papers.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, I think it's a paper thing.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
I have to tell you to Speaking of three Ray
kisses and pop culture, and you know, occasionally, I watched
three reality shows and my my most recent have been.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
You know what, yesterday we were at dinner and I said,
you watch TV. You said, I don't watch TV. I
don't watch shows. I don't watch anything. And then literally
when we were at dinner at Ashley's birthday and I
was like you do watch TV. What are you talking about?
I don't.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
I can tell you that I watched on your.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yout I look on stories and you Orlando are watching
movies every weekend. I'm like, what are you talking?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
We don't watch movies every weekend. I watched three reality
shows and I watched the whole season. And that's so
I don't watch a lot because then I have to
watch the whole thing or else I'm left in limbo
wondering what the fuck happened to these You.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Literally were watching Polly whatever, the couple to.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Trouble is what I was watching, Okay, and before that,
I was watching The Ultimatum South Africa. And prior to that,
I only watched one other show, which was Married.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
At For any watch Baby Reindeer.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
That's a movie.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
That's not a movie.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
It seemed like a movie to me.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Anyway, back to basically, get out of my life, okay,
get out of my TV watching. How about that? Stop posting?

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Once you start watching these things, you want to talk
to someone about them.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Anyway, Give me a lighter, okay to smoke.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
God, it can't get my announcement time.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, then you burn all you.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Burn this alive off that's where you sanitize, get.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Burnt away from all those guys in the studio that
rolled the blind and passed to you.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
It's not even the STDs.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's really the the holatosis. They should be considering herpes.
There could be herpes on your blunt, but those with those.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Breaths, I don't think they're even getting that far.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
I don't think like the studio rats and stuff like that,
I don't think they really care about pussy.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
What what.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Imagine like like the trap studio niggas that like don't
leave and they're smoking back to black slobbery backwoods. They're
not really carus. They're only successful rappers to get the girls.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
In the inside the studio. I'd like to think.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Let me up, baby, I just did I used it
to kill the STDs. I mean, not that I have any,
but neither do.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I mean, you know, I've only been fucking one person
for like three years. Can you believe it? I can't
believe it. I've abandoned my whonism for marriage and love.
I mean I really have it.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's a lie. I have been being a ut.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Oh yes, this is it. Hitting this right here, this
is the top grade a backwood. What ograp you feel
like you're in the studio. Let me let me go
back real quick.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, you're gonna bob your head like you're in the studio.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Bring up?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Are you ready? This is my friend.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
If you take a very close look this, she has
been in the studio many times, smoking many of slavery backwoods.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
You can tell about her posture.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
My goodness, they always cut you off guards no matter
how much you smoke them.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
You know, I think we might need to go. I
think the O G. Bland is under It has been
underrated in our studio for a while because we've been
layering our backwoods with honeys and roses and camomiles were goddesses.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's what we do.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
I know. But sometimes you just got to take it
back to the O G time, the O G Ways,
the studio rat ways, studio rat ways, the rapper ways.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Comment on this video.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
If you were on a studio rat and do you
sometimes crave for studio rat blunts?

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Do you prefer studio rat blood goddess blunt? What kind
of blunt do you smoke?

Speaker 2 (16:20):
I'm a multifaceted blood smoker variety. Anyway, what were you
saying now? I can focus on your things that you
were talking about.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
I was saying I only watched three series this year,
and the third one being Coupled of Trouble, and that
was because a lot of people hit me in the
DMS and said me and Orlando should be on a
Couple of Trouble, and I didn't want to watch it,
but then I said, you know what, I just stumbled
upon it and I watched it, and now I'd like
to say, I'm halfway through, and are you gonna be

(16:48):
on Couple of Trouble? I am because I'm a star
and those people are a little bit boring, but I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I just want to let you know they're getting paid nothing,
do you think so?

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Because I spent a month in Panama and that really
got me.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Exactly and they can pay them five hundred dollars an episode,
maybe a thousand, and they're like whoah. But they're also
some of.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Those motherfucking shows have like twenty episodes, and I'm gonna
stay till.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Then because Literal would do it for twenty k.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
If me and Orlando got like twenty five each, plus
I get to stay in the Panama and continue to work,
bring my microphone and for thirty days, I'd consider it.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
And they're gonna exploit your life and possibly cut scenes
to make you look.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Like I'm too smart and too classy for that. You
can You can't even cut me trash they do.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
This is what they do.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
You can't even cut me trashy if you tried.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
I'm too good. A couple of trouble call me. But Peacock,
you gotta get your You gotta get your your streaming up.
It keeps freezing and.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Shit, I gotta get your Peacock password.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
I don't know who I have, but maybe it is mine.
You can have it.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
They show tits on there.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Damn my phone died.

Speaker 3 (17:52):

Speaker 2 (17:55):
They showed take me Saved on Good mom Maybe that's
where I saw it.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
We have some things to talk about. Where should I look?
I don't know what to look. We have some things
to talk about, Okay, we have some cultural things we
need to discuss. Y'all. Things have been happening on the
Internet and I've been observing them. I have some thoughts.
The first thing is, well, I wanted to pull up
but I can't at this point, maybe you can find it,
maybe in our saved messages, drafts or whatever.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
The fun call them.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't want to tell the people before we show.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Okay, I don't know what I'm searching ams, look at
our saved messages.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
I don't know how to do that. Here just said,
you're marketing genius.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
I'm a marketing genius. Verbally, okay, I tell the people.
The idea is that they get it together. I didn't
say I do the type and it's for small folks.
I'm Jamila Mapp, Executive of Unique Partnerships.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Oh, I got it. It's right here. Okay, okay, you're ready.
So I saw this on the internet and the comments were,
you know, they were mixed. They were either supporting her
or they were saying this is child to use and
that you know, there's more gentle parenting. But we don't
know the backstory. You don't know the backstory of this
woman and her daughter's relationship. It sounds like the daughter's
been a problem for a while and the bitch just

(19:13):
had she's had enough. The mom, sorry, the bitch, the mom.
You know what I'm talking about. I'm a bitch. Also,
she had enough.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
You don't also have an ashtray.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Just put it on here.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okay, what happened.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
I'm gonna show you to be.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
A follow bonti than a leader, right, Okay, I'm not
a parent who.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
Likes to use physical discipline.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
Come may, you're gonna learn today, girl, No physical discipline. Mom,
don't momy No, you had your learning, you had your chance.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
I told you to listen.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
I told you stop disobeying my rules. I told you
being cute ain't shit if.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
You have no education.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
I told you stop disobeying me. I told you to
listen and do as.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
You're supposed to.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
I told you to do good in school.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
I told you to.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Do your daily routine, and you yet to even do
any of it. And you thought you were just obeying
me today.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
And I was not coming to cut this hair off.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
You're sadly mistaken because you thought being pretty was so
much better than being educated or listening to your mom.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Right, Yes, this is what happens when you don't listen
to your mom.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
You don't think she should have cut her daughter. Okay,
so it's a child abuse. It's crazy, it's child abuse.
It's absolutely child abuse.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
You don't have the right to touch anybody like no,
if you don't believe I know, no, no, no, no, no.
The fact that it's on, it's on live, it's being recorded.
I don't give a fuck what the little girl did.
I'm not cutting off my kid's hair on fucking live period.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
But if she's been extremely disrespectful on the internet, I mean,
I'm just thinking, what at what point.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm gonna be honest? This is not a popular opinion.
I'm gonna beat your ass before i'm gonna cut your
hair off. I'm gonna beat your ass.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
But that's less violent than cutting the hair off. Why
is hair have more value than I just don't think
I just beating a child.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
I don't think changing your appearance and putting a permanent
mark or whatever on your body.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Hair grows, it does grow back. Eating your ass is
a mark.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
That will be just I just honestly, my mind doesn't
work that way. I wouldn't think I'm gonna cut my
all my daughter's hair off first so she can be
less vain. I don't think i'd think that way, but
I don't. My daughter has to behave in a way,
but I don't know. I'm not a teenage mom yet.
Would you cut IRA's hair off. Because you see all
of the fens. You assume shocked that I said, that's

(21:23):
that's absolutely crazy.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I am shocked because I've seen how you've said, I'm
an beat your ass, and I thought this was the
better solution, the beating ass, so I thought this was
more the better solution. It is more permanent. But hair
grows back, and sometimes kids need to I don't know,
I feel like that kid they need something severe. And
sometimes obviously I'm assuming, I don't know that this mom

(21:45):
I'm hoping has has tried every single thing.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
And that's another thing I have to say, a lot
of these moms be fucking nutshit like thatshit crazy lomas.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Be jealous of their daughters.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
You know, there's a plets of things like absolutely, I
didn't have a great relationship with my mom was a teenager,
and it wasn't cause I was a terrible teenager, like
I probably could have been better, but I just, I mean,
I honestly don't think either of those methods work.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Beating ass or cutting hair.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
I think those are neither of the solutions that I
would be my first.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Are you a soft pair? Are you soft? Parent? Life? Now?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I'm just not a fucking psycho. I'm gonna infringe trauma
my kid if I can help it. Bitch, I'm gonna
take you to the therapist because and I'm gonna take
all your electronics.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
We're gonna go to church camp.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
We're not.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
I'm not cutting your hair off.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I might cut your hair off.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Wow, if I recalled me to my mom cutting ha off,
I might fight you. Listen, but listen, I would come
over and beat your afterwards.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm gonna feel embarrassed. I could. I could understand as
a parent if you have like been going after your
kid for for a whole year, well, however long the
time is they've been disrespectful. I don't know, like you've
tried every single thing. Sometimes you have to take sever
your measures. To me, hair is gonna grow back. She
might look cute a little short haircut.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
She's just a beautiful face to you, you know. Not
the point.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
It's just not how we choose to That's not how
we teach our children to resolve problems.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
I understand that, I understand that is the correct and.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Then have a granddaughter she goes and cuts her life.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
That is the correct and reasonable thing to do, and
that is the PC and respectable way to parent for me, it's.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Not even being PC. I just don't think that's the first
thing that would come to mind. I have I've had traumatized.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Then what is beating your ass? Me too? I said,
that's the.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Probably not the best solution either. I said, I probably
wouldn't go to that either. I think it would be
more in my front the front of the frame of
my mind, probably because my mom beat my ass. That's
just how we work. We inherit the way we react sometimes.
But if I thought sat still and thought it through,
neither of those options would be my my route.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
So then saying it is the threat.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
No, not even saying it, I said therapy, because taking
away electronics, if it's about you being vain, you're not
doing anything else. It's like you have you taken away
every other every other option.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Have you taken every other privilege?

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Like I'm a firm believer, I'll put your house on
punishment for a long time, you know what I mean.
And I also believe in conversation because like if you're
deliberately just going again.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Like I'm just I'm let you go live with your grandma.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
I'm one of those like, I'm just gonna resolve my
hands of the situation because I'm gonna show you you're
gonna go live with your grandma.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I can't resolve your hands of the situation as the parent.
I mean you can, but that's but that's also not
good parenting that.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
That daughter is going to fucking hate her mom for
at least like a decade.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I mean, I maybe not honestly, I mean to be
I mean, this is not gonna be a popular statement,
but we've endured worse as black people. Like when I
hear about even my father talk about lovingly about his
mother who raised him. He always tells the story about,
you know, my mom, I rolled my eyes at her
and she pulled a gun on me and chased me
down the street, and he laughs about that. Now, that's

(24:41):
not that's also child abuse, for sure, and that's not great.
But I just feel like, Babe, I just feel like
sometimes drastic measures need to be taken sometimes when you've
tried every single thing, your child needs to understand permanent
repercussions in the world. And if cutting your hair off

(25:05):
is the thing that's gonna get it, it might not. And
I'm saying, like I could understand how your anger could
get you to this reactionary moment, just like I can
understand how parents have hit their kids and be like,
oh shit, I hit my kid because they've gotten to
that point. I've gotten to that point. When I was
a kid, I fucking hit her and I was like,
this shit hurt. And I saw her reaction, I felt
her reaction. I was still angry in that moment, but

(25:26):
there was of course, shame and guilt are surrounding that.
But I feel like parents cross the line all the time. Yeah,
physically literally imposing pain onto their child and cutting your
hair to me, doesn't seem I think I'm gonna seem
that crazy.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
I think it's emotionally harming.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
And also, these kids are soft, baby, These kids ain't
our parents who are getting hit by switches.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
These kids will call the police. And of course these kids,
she's probably got the police called.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
She for sure, she's dealing with some shit right now,
for sure.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
For this.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
That's why from the internet, I mean, speaking of something
like this, think of I mean, and some of these kids,
some of these kids.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Need the streets.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
I don't know, but like, for instance, our your acquaintance
whose kid was acting up and is now like not
in her care. Like I can't even fucking fantom that,
you know what I mean. But I don't know, Like
I said, I'm not Wait, did your mom do anything
to you that you were like, I'm so happy she
did that. Did you have any like extreme parenting things
from your mom that now you look back and like

(26:29):
that was probably not the right way to deal with that,
And I could, I probably would have responded differently had
she reacted calmer, it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
The right way or or it was extreme, and now
I understand it either way both. It was. Yeah, I
mean I was just I was got really mouthy with
my mom. She slapped the shit out of me and
low key like I deserved it and it and it
literally was like oh shit, you know. And I'm not
saying I'm not again, I'm not here saying condoning that
kind of parenting. But did I hate my mom for

(26:59):
twelve months because of it? No? That was I mad? Absolutely?
Was it right? No? But it happened, and I still
love her and I understand her, And it didn't paint
it didn't paint her whole parenting as she's now a
bad mom. She's a terrible parent. My mom was an
excellent parent, you know. But like every person, every human
has their limit. And you think about animals and the

(27:23):
way they have. You seen animals, how they rear their
how they rear their young. They slapped the shit out
of them when they do some fucked up shit.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
There's definitely a level.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
I feel like there's an animalistic nature. I feel like
our society has become so fucking delicate, and I understand that.
I understand that certain things have to go and they're
not they're not constructive. But I also think animalistically as
as humans and just primally. It's not out of it's

(27:55):
not crazy that that sometimes is the first reaction of
us when when they when we get pushed to a
certain limit, or when we are trying to protect and
show our children, hey, let me do this shit here,
because the world is not gonna be kind. The world
is not going to give a fuck about you. She's
not going to cut your hair off, bitch, She's going
to stab you in the back for real.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
I definitely agree that children have to understand the repercussions
of their actions in the household, because, like so many
of us have heard, once you get in trouble outside,
if here's something I can do for you, and I
agree with that, but just especially because of the history
of black people and physical abuse, and I also think
this is a very much so case by case scenario. Absolutely,

(28:35):
there are parents that are just the fuck crazy. There
are parents that have not dealt with their own trauma
and they're inflicting that on their children and it's going
to be traumatizing them, and then the cycle continues. And
I've seen it, and like in my household, my mom
beat my ass. My mom was verbally abusive in ways,
like said crazy shit to me that I'll never forget.
And we did not have a relationship where I felt

(28:56):
like we could talk, and I think had we had,
we probably would have had much different relationship. And to
be honest, a lot of that I have held on to,
not held on to this day, but to the point
where I recognize certain flaws in her as an adult
that she's still working through that when I was under
her care and responsibility, it was not maybe of her

(29:16):
like consciously, but she took that shit out on me.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
And so I have a different I think I have
a different view of it. Do I respect my parents
and think they did the best that they could. Absolutely,
am I like traumatize and abuse, No, but I see
how sometimes especially for moms, but this is not spoken
about often either. It's like when you see your child
embodying things that are different than who you have embodied

(29:40):
or what you've been allowed to especially because of generational differences,
we are doing things that our moms would never have imagined,
talking about sex and being you know, super up friend
and transparent about things, and so it's things that they
don't understand. And I think that that can that causes
like language barriers, you know what I mean, in ways,
but I think there are ways to communicate with your

(30:02):
kids absolutely that can like change the cycles thereafter. And
I think that it's we should normalize adults and parents
checking their own trauma so that they're not in the
position to raise children and still be traumatized by their
own their own experiences and then that overflows onto their kids. Absolutely,
And I recognized that's some more thought out answer. And

(30:22):
in the moment, had you had a badass kid that's
consistently repid remanding you, at what point do you say
there's not anything I could.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Do about it? But this, you know, may and I don't,
and I'm not here to say I'm maybe she did it.
I know if I got to that point, because I
think about the point where where I actually spank Diary,
and like, I never thought i'd get to that point.
I thought I was so patient, you know, and she
obviously got to another point. I know personally I would
feel embarrassed. I would feel ashamed. How am I going

(30:50):
to explain this to people that I lost my temper
so bad that she at some point, I'm gonna have
to like acknowledge the wrong that I did, and I'm
gonna have to come to my child, and I'm gonna
have to apologize, period, And that's just parenting. And I
don't know if that's what happened in this case. I
hope that it did. I hope that they are able
to figure it out. But I also know these kids
don't fucking listen sometimes, and that.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
She don't apologize.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
She don't. She did not apologize.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Anyway, anyway, on to more Oh my god, what do
you guys think? Leave a comment? Should she have cut
her hair? Why should gentle parenting have been executed?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
There's someone whose mom cut their hair, and I want
to know with their long their overall response us just
my phone.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
God, I just got so high. I can't find it.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I have your phone. I haven't.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Losing shit.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Damn, I didn't roll this backwood very well, guys. I'm
I told Neil that I wanted to roll at this
time because she always rolls it. And then this is
what happened.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Listen, you gotta start somewhere, honey. Okay, So I found
I found it Instagram to show you this one.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
I wait, where is it?

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Here it is? God, where is it?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
So there's this black woman who obviously remarried a white husband, right,
but look at this fish, just.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Got new teeth. She's ocean frame.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
So the well, the caption of the thing in the
video says, uh, I guess what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Oh nothing?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Just a black man's baby mama, a white man spoiled,
married and moved to Hawaii.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
And a lot of her page is about like her.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Date now, having a black I mean a white man
who's taking care of her. Yes.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
In the in the bio, it says blended inter racial,
blended interracial family, you know, and I support whoever you like,
you know, love who you want to love. I don't really,
I don't think it's necessary to be like a black
man's baby mama, you know, has been rescued by a
white king and now we beach front at the Hawaii because.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
My black maybe daddy couldn't do this.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
And then she's another picture of like her and like
other pictures of white husbands with other black friends, white
black wives, and she's like, get one, come down, come
down to Arizona and.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Gets you one.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Or it's almost like come get a cookie. These are
the best ones on the shelf.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Oh yeah. I mean, listen, people do a lot of
things for a clicks and likes, and maybe there's some
self hate there. Maybe there's a lot of trauma. Maybe,
you know, listen, as black women, we've experienced a lot
of trauma at the hands of black men. Period. We're

(33:40):
still giving y'all grace, but it's just a fact of
life we have. And sometimes that shows up as a
black woman at her limit and now she's in Hawaii
with her white husband making Instagram profiles, and you know,
that's just what happened here, and that's okay with me.
There's worse things that could be happening there are worse

(34:00):
things that are happening. I have Palestine. I hope that she.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Lets that go and Rick, you know, and enjoys her
her reels. And you know what, I'm not mad at her.
She seems like a very nice woman with lots of reels,
lots of successful reels. She's a second Instagram star, her
and her family. She's very happy. I don't live in
Hawaiian and I'm pissed. Do you have anything else you wanted.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
To share any more? Very important news?

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Well, there's news. There's news that Rihanna dropped Oh whoa, whoa, Sorry,
Rihanna dropped her hairline. You know, but I saw the
announcement and listen before y'all, Rihanna people come for me.
I love Rihanna. I literally love Rihanna. But when I
said hairline, I thought maybe wigs. I thought, for sure,
wigs or I don't know shit for I don't know,

(34:57):
not natural hair. I wasn't going for it didn't ever
occurred natural hair, because have you ever seen Rihanna wear
her natural hair?

Speaker 3 (35:03):
So the product is specifically for natural hair.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
I think it's for an array of things, but that
was the product that she debuted with the natural hair. Well,
it was a selection, but I think it was She's
aiming towards people's hair and it's coming out of their
head naturally.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
And I couldn't help a thing, because you know, everyone's
always trying to pair Rihanna with Beyonce Sacred and right.
I'm always coming at not coming out each other, book,
launching things at similar times. Whatever. And then I saw
Rihanna come outside with her natural hair.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Don't choot talk what do they call it?

Speaker 5 (35:38):
The navy?

Speaker 3 (35:40):
And listen, read, reread navy.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Everyone has a look that works for them.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Navy, what is it? Listen?

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I don't think this works, so I don't think this
is This is not Rihanna's best look.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
As an black woman of the short hair. She knows
what she's just getting. She's getting it together. She's trying
to get the products together, she's trying to get the text,
the curl pattern together.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
Just give her some time.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
She had time, she'd been known, she's about to launch
the ship. She had time. I shaved her whole ass
head and grow a whole new head of hair. But also,
I just feel like it's happening here as my natural
hair gets stuck with this microphone because I'm talking about
the queen Rihanna. I just also saw and this is

(36:23):
also a bit on the internet because I'm a Rihanna
stan I want to be clear and I get fed.
Rihanna adds a lot because she's fine as hell. But
they were mad because in the video she was washing
or in the picture for the promo of her brand,
she's has getting her hair washed in the bowl and

(36:43):
it's a it's for sure a wig.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
It's for sure a rigors. It just like her hair
turned with the foam on it, like.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
It's a wig.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
I mean, because here's the other thing, it.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Is a full I wish I could have been at
the shoot with them.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
You think that's how I think.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
There's no way, There's no way they put Champona Orlando.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
We gotta we gotta put the picture up. And then
I need you comments. I need you to comment.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Her hair, her hair and when she wore her short hair,
that was her hair. Mostly celebrities were wigs. They're doing
a lot of moving around. Everybody needs to wash their
real hair, though natural or not permed.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
In the comments, put fake.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
I need to see the picture again.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Well, it's probably in the dams. My phone is dead,
so I can't show you, but it's all over the internets.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
I was surprised she launched a hair care product.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
In general, I mean, I'm gonna buy it what I
would buy. I'm gonna buy hers over. I didn't even
Boughy Beyonce. It's some gonna buy hers.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
The hypocrisy.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
I love Rihanna, but you know, not every not everything
is gonna make sense.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Not our debut is it's gonna do well. It's gonna
go crazy culture commentators. But it's not out yet.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
I don't know. I think it's on pre I don't
know if it's on pre order. If it's all the
way out, I think it's out. Okay.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Speaking of Rihanna, who I love also, she was interviewed
recently and she made a state a comment about how
like if they had she had regrets or would make
any changes, and she said that she would change all
like the uh like kind of stuff. And I was like,
I was like a she high she was. I thought
I was ashamed. I thought a good mom bad choices.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
I just I saw the same thing. I tried to
erase it from my memory, and I made you wish
you didn't bring it up right now because ever since
I ran into her in real life and her nipples
were out like that's they were, and she was she
made a statement, Rihanna Lilan did she needed to come
back and sit on this couch.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
She's been in the house with Rocky too long. He's like,
you gotta put those nipples in and pay Rocky is
on that ship.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
It might be her Barbados family members. That's about the
island at the Islands, like your mother.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Now, we gotta get off because we had just shamed islanders.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Rihanna herself, I'm a shamer.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
I was the same.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
We've agreed that we've made maybe a little bit abuse
our kids.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
