Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hand Me My Purse is a production of iHeart Podcasts.
So I was perusing Zoe Kravitz's Internet and I found this.
But I found it a long time ago, and I
saved it for around Mother's Day.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
The issue is.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
That I forgot to use it on Mother's Day. But
there is never a mistake made because God, the universe,
your ancestors, whoever it is for you, God doesn't make
any mistakes. So there's this quote that I saw and
I want to share it with you.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
It seems like.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Every year around Mother's Day, I get a little, I
get sick, some kind of sick. I get a sinus infection,
I have a diverticulatus flare up, I get a cold,
I get you know, it's just always something. And I
think that it's because the body remember. The mind definitely remembers,

(01:02):
but I feel like our bodies remember too. And yeah,
there's a book about that. I want to call it
as the Body Keep Score or something. I actually think
I have the book. But our bodies remember trauma, our
bodies remember dates, our bodies remember. And I actually was

(01:27):
made aware of this even before I bought that book,
or I found out about that book because my friend Ebany,
who was on the show a few episodes ago. Whenever
I would get sick, or my behavior would be weird,
or I would feel weird in my body, in my mind,

(01:50):
in my spirits, the first thing she always asks me
is what happened around this day? Maybe not today, but
what happened on this date. And then when I start thinking,
I'm like, oh, and I start saying, Oh, it's my
grandmother's birthday. Oh it's the day my you know, great

(02:12):
grandmother died, or oh it's the anniversary of my you
know whatever. So I wanted to share this. Going back
to what I said, I want to share this because
some of you may still be healing from Mother's Day
stress or trauma, and I want to share it with

(02:33):
you because I want you to keep it close to
your heart. It says, bless the daughters who sat carrying
the trauma of mothers, who sat asking for more love
and not getting any yet, carried themselves to light. Blessed
the daughters. Blessed the daughters who raised themselves one more time.

(03:03):
Blessed the daughters who sat carrying the trauma of mothers
who sat asking for more love and not getting any yet.
Carried themselves to light. Bless the daughters who raised themselves.
And there's nothing else to say after that. Like that,
that's it right there.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh, I can't see the things that happened.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Okay, what's up, y'all? Welcome to Handy my Purse the podcast?
I am Me Me Walker and I will always and
forevermore be your host each and every single time you
tune in to this podcast, So please go ahead and
get comfortable. Get yourself a glass of your favorite beverage,

(04:07):
whether that is alkaline water, a glass of champagne. Mother
loves a glass of champagne. Okay, a hot cup of
peppermint tea because that is my favorite tea because hello, mother.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Has digestive issues.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Or a mescal margarita, which is my new favorite way
to marguerite. It's by using mezcal instead of tequila. So
go ahead and light yourself a candle, some incense or
burn some stage and just get ready to chill out
and have yourself a good time. What's up, friends, and

(04:49):
can it's MEMI resident Auntie Supreme here and hand me
my purse and today or the drink that I want
to share, I didn't have it today. I actually had
a yesterday, but I want to share it with you
because it was quite delicious. I had to take a
break last week with putting an episode out a new

(05:09):
episode out, because I had a diverticulitis flare up.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
On the day before Mother's Day.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well actually I had it the week before Mother's Day,
and then on that Friday before Mother's Day, it went
through the roof, okay, like it was at the moon,
and the next morning I had to get up and
go to the hospital so I could not drink any alcohol.
And I was at a celebration this weekend and I

(05:44):
had to have a mocktail, and I was sitting across
from a pregnant woman and her husband got her this
drink and I was like, well, what is that because
it looks very refreshing and I can't drink, and every
single person around me was having an alcoholic bedge and
I could not have one, and I was very.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Upset about it. Okay, so it was.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
The bartender actually came over to my table to tell
me what it was, and I'm going to share with
you what it is. It doesn't have a name, but
by the time I'm finished describing it to you, I
will give it a name. So it was a BlackBerry syrup.
It was some cranberry juice, some pineapple juice. And I

(06:29):
want to say, like some seltzer. He said, like some
you know seltzer. And I said, oh, it's so good.
And then I started thinking it was a little sweet,
but I was like, oh, it's so good. And then
I started thinking, because you know, I'm grown as all hell,
and I'm thinking about when I can drink again, what

(06:51):
is gonna be the change around for this?

Speaker 2 (06:55):
And I can't wait to try to make it.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Instead of using BlackBerry syrup, I may, you know, I'll
use BlackBerry syrup, but I think I'm gonna muddle blackberries
too and mint and use cranberry and pineapple juice, or
just use the BlackBerry syrup and pineapple juice.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I have to work through it and then use champagne,
like a really dry champagne. Uh, it's gonna be delicious.
Or instead of using champagne, how about we use some
tequila or even gin because gin is very dry. Shout
out to the bedroom bartender for making me even think
about using gin in anything, But I think it would

(07:41):
be very delicious and I think I'm gonna call it
the flare up.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I do, and there it is. There it is. So
that's what I had.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Currently in this moment, I'm drinking a Sentshia water and
it is it's alkaline, and it has electrolytes. It says
ionized hydration nine point five pH. So as I'm coming
off of this flare up, I try to drink as

(08:10):
much alkaline water as I can. And yeah, and not
too much sugar. Although that drink the other night was
really sweet, So what are y'all sipping on? That's all
I got, But that drink was busting. Shut out to
the bartender that made that, and he had a really

(08:30):
interesting story. He said that all of twenty twenty three
he stopped drinking cold turkey. That kind of let me
know he probably had a problem. But being a bartender
is probably not the best job to have if you're
trying to stop drinking. But anyway, and so he said,
he used to make, you know, all these different drinks
that didn't have alcohol in them, you know, to buide

(08:51):
his time. And he said that was one of his
favorite ones to make. So shut out to that gentleman,
and shout out to having enough discipline to not drink
alcohol friends and can for two days. Jam I'm taking

(09:15):
you back. As a matter of fact, let me tell
you when I'm taking you back to, because we're going
real back. We're going real back, girl, what are you
talking about? We are going very far back. Were going
real bad. Oh boy, that was good, Okay, So we
are going back to.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, this is not correct. This, this has given me.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Somebody else who released the song, and I need to
know when this song came out nineteen eighty eight. We're
going back to nineteen eighty eight, and I'm going to
be exposing you to a group of ladies from Rialito, California,
and that is JJFAD, which stands for just Jamming, Fresh

(10:06):
and Deaf.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Okay, And it seems like.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Let me see what Wikipedia says about these nice ladies
and the song is supersonic because I couldn't tell you
any other song that they fucking sang if I could
be honest. But it says that they've been active from
eighty five to ninety two and then from twenty one
to present they were on Ruthless Records. I'm not mistaken.
I think that was doctor dre Or, who was Ruthless record. Anyway,

(10:32):
it doesn't matter. Yeah, I knew I was right, Doctor
Drey and DJ Yella, I know what I'm talking about. Anyway, Jjfad,
we're JJ fat and we're here till rock.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Just give me a little bit.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
But anyway, the song is Supersonic, and Supersonic is one
of the happiest, most fun songs that has ever ever
ever been made. It's fun. There's a lot of joy
in it. And you know, that's all I really got.

(11:11):
If you don't know it as a as a black
person in America, everybody knows the end that goes hit a.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Baby d I'm like skinning, devastating ever likes them motivated.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's all I got. But if I have the lyrics,
I can definitely do it. But everybody knows this part.
Some of them nom Noma, some of no no no no,
no no no mon.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, that was it. You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
But anyway, Supersonic came out in nineteen eighty eighth. JJ
Fad were three girls from California rialto I just found out.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
I thought they were just from LA And the video, which.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Of course I am going to post in the show
notes you have to watch it. They're on the roof
of some building in La. They have on the cutest
outfits ever. They have on all this gold jewelry. They
have hairstyles from nineteen eighty eight. Okay, everything is just giving.
It is giving eighties fun girl in La and I

(12:08):
love it and it definitely brightened my day when I
listen to it. And I hope the song brightens your day.
If you didn't know it, listen to it, watch the video,
listen to the whole song, and just get into it.
And if you're not really aware, this song is.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Vital in our.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Community, in the black community, and people can say that
it's not. But if you are gen X and you
were alive and old enough to know this song in
eighty eight, everybody wanted to know the end where one
of them is saying, I'm like skinning, divastating ever lesson
motivating and then some this during motivating, So my no, no, no,

(12:49):

I think even dudes wanted to wrap that part. So
get into it and enjoy the song. It's light, it's
joyful because you know that's what we're on. I don't
know about y'all, but that's what I'm on. I'm on joy,
I'm on lightheartedness, I'm on fun, I'm on good times.

(13:10):
We're coming up on summer. Summer will be here in
about a month. Like, dude, we gotta get ready, and

and free and full of joy. And that's what I am.
So go ahead and get into JJ fast, supersonic and enjoy.
And then after you listen to it, we're gonna go
ahead and get this party story.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Every day.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
I'm like Skinny Day said, I don't know what any
independent that's right, because I don't think that take you
mad any made them up and keeping.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Everybody say I'm happy. If you try to hangle me,
you should find it a thing always working the stuff
and devastating rubber lady. When I'm on a mo I
want to see that all these inpertative figures are different.
Reason everybody say I'm different. There's no other age of love.
Everybody know I'll come and climb.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
Yeah, well, thanks for having us on the show.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Absolutely should I introduce who you guys are? Yeah? All right,
So today.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
As we close out, this is the closing But as
we start to close out season four of Hand Me
My Purse, I decided to have my producers on the show,
and at the end of every show, I say shout
out to my producers, Evan and Taylor, and together we
make up Rando Banjo in the Dirty Throats. Shout out

(14:34):
to random banjo in the dirty throat. Get that dirty throats.
Throats are dirty because we're coughing. Get it now, we.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Don't have a banjo because our throats are dirty.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's it you should have. I don't have a banjo
sound effect because I lost all of sound effects during
Mercury retrograde. But I'm slowly adding them back. But in
the iPad, I didn't lose them. I lost them in Koala,
and now I have to manually add them all back

(15:14):
from drop offs.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
I love that.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
You're like, I lost my things, and the producers are like, wait, no, no, no,
We've got them where we can tell you.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Where they are. Everything is under control.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
I can handle this.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
So yeah, so we're gonna talk here. We talk like
this every week, and we thought this might be interesting.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Uh so people can see the dynamic between the people
behind the scenes, and I guess I'm not behind the scenes,
but I kind of damn behind the scenes a little bit.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
You do both, I do it all.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I was gonna say, I'm pans recording, but that's not
pans Yeah, like pans sexual.

Speaker 5 (15:58):
Oh nice, I like it.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
I'm not pant sexual, though, let's be fucking clear about that.
She is not pan sexual. I really just this is
like a gen X old lady moment. I never really
understood what pan sexual was until today, or until yesterday.
I was yesterday years old when I really understood it.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Like I heard it and I.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Was like, I don't really understand it, because if you're
pant sexual, what's the difference between pan sexual and bisexual?

Speaker 2 (16:30):
But I learned today that there is a difference.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
Do you guys learn what's the difference or do you.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Guys know the difference. I think Taylor probably doesn't because
he he's in the woods with and it's Beyonce exactly.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
I don't have a banjo, but this would be the
place for it.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
So the difference is the difference is that when you're bisexual,
you are attracted.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
To man and woman or male and.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Female, But when you're pan sexual, that means you like
all of the people, and so for me, in my
gen X mind, all of the people is either a
man or a woman. However, it's a new day, it's
twenty twenty four. There are new things happening and new
identities and new intersectionalities. And so when you are pan sexual,

(17:28):
it means that you like all of the things like
you men, You're open to all of the things men, women,
trans people, non binary people like that.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
M that's is that correct, Evan?

Speaker 5 (17:47):
That was how I understood it too.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Did I leave anything out?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
I think that covers it? But I am no experts.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Okay, let's google this. Hold on, let me look it up.
Do do do do? Do do? Do?

Speaker 5 (17:58):
That makes sense?

Speaker 6 (17:59):
All encompassing, Like right, I am attracted to the person
no matter what they identify.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, you're pan sexual romantic or emotional attraction towards people
of all genders or regardless of their sex or gender identity.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
So for somebody like me, that's like either man or woman.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
But somebody told me that boo boo boom, that that
could mean all kinds of things.

Speaker 7 (18:25):
I feel like I'm grateful to be just into kind
of like one specific type of person, because I would
be so overwhelmed, simulating, Yeah, yeah, you go to a
party and you're like.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
All these people, like.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
Everybody here. It's not that they like you back, but
yeah you could.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
And I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with
finding people attractive. I don't totally, but I think that
the thought of being romantic or sexually involved with all
of those different types of people, for me, I think
it would be very overwhelming. I'm indecisive as it is,
Like that's too much for me.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
Like, right, although I guess like you, if you are
in that, if you are that way, then people who
might be interested in like, you're narrowing your field slightly
already because it's like you're you're in the queer community
at that point, you know, which is like not to

(19:30):
say that somebody who's like, has been through their life
like traditionally straight or whatever wouldn't be into you, you know,
but I feel like there is a certain like mindset
that you're at least like you're there's some people who
aren't gonna be into that, and so great because I
was totally overwhelmed already by the incredible variety of people

(19:53):
who might have been into it.

Speaker 6 (19:54):
Yeah, does that does that make any sense. Yeah, but
it makes it makes sense. But also I see I.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Mean far away or like you don't sound and.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
You hear me in a better now, yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Lean up, not lean back. Lean so.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
Yes to what you said.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
We're talking about pan sexual people, right, that's yeah, yeah,
so that I.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Feel like that makes sense.

Speaker 6 (20:17):
But on the other hand, it's funny because we were
seeing people who are not interested in dating transgender people
get called out for being hateful. But if you like
don't want a data pans person because you don't identify
as pan then like, that's fine.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
I don't know what I'm.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Saying why this is why it just seems you know,
I don't ever want to How can I say this?

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I sometimes get very overwhelmed with all of the things,
in all of the ways that you have to be
politically correct, in all the ways that you have to
be Like, it's so much information coming at us, you
know what I mean, Like, and I don't ever want
to offend anybody because I'm just I'm not that way,

(21:09):
you know, I don't have anything against anybody, Like I
don't give a fuck. Excuse my language, I don't give
a fuck who you fuck. I don't care who you
are sleeping with. I don't care who you're in love with.
I don't care who you fantasize about. As long as
everyone is a consenting adult that I do care about.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Where's that letter for sure?

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Okay, let's get that letter, because that's the letter that
I am not an ally of people.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
I'm not a pedophile ally. How about that?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I am not a rapey ally, a rapeifile, a rape
sexual ally, I'm not I Otherwise, if everybody is consenting
and they're all adults, I don't give a shit.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, but I also don't want to offend people.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
And it's I feel like it's so sometimes if I
could be honest, I feel like.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
I walk we have to walk on eggshells.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
And when I say we, I guess I mean like
hetero sexual people. But I even know homosexual people who
are like, I don't fucking know.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
I don't know what it is. I don't understand. I
don't know what to say, so I'm just not going
to say anything, you know, And some of them, I
think feel like, well, I'm in the LGBTQ IA plus community,
so I can say what I want, but I don't
think they can.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I don't think that's the case and it's just so.
And I think that being an American because we're used
to like very stark differences like you're white or you're black,
you're left or you're right, you're Democratic or you're Republican.
You know, you're an immigrant or you're a citizen.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Like we're used to that like very polarized up or down.
So for me, I feel like the.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Queer community is so many things to know and understand,
and I try to no one understand. Like I said,
I just learned what paan sexual was and I was like, oh,
it fucking makes sense now, but I didn't know before.
But you know, like also like I'm not going to
say anything bad because I don't care. Yeah, No, I
don't care, Like I don't care what happens to them,

(23:15):
because I definitely think that no people is just to.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
Do what they want to do and love who they
want to love, and.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Be who they want to be, do the things, like
you said, regardless of what that means to anyone else,
as long as everyone's consenting. In your of age, it's
like this is your life, you know, don't let society
define how you want to live. And we're you know
by I feel like, you know, the energy around, like

(23:42):
the all the the new like uses of pronouns and
the gender identity is becoming more like publicly uh like
accepted and widespread. It feels or to me, I guess
like in the early days it felt like that was like.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Minority rebellion, you know, and now.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
It's become like you said, we kind of were walking
on eggshells to not offend people because it is evolving
so quickly. But if we all just accepted each other,
regardless of what we wanted to be called or who
called what, Like, Yeah, the people who don't keep up
with the like vocabulary, it doesn't mean they don't care,
you know, they might love you more than other people

(24:25):
who know the vocabulary. It's just like hard to know
these days. It grows so quickly. And as someone who
lives in the woods with wired internet only, you know,
I miss stuff. So it's like I don't I want
everyone to be happy and I want them to do
whatever they want to do, and I love everyone and
I want them to love whoever they want, you know,
but it's like I can't keep up If I get

(24:47):
it wrong, don't be mad at me. Doesn't mean I
don't care, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, Look like what I said I don't care doesn't
mean like I don't care what happens to you, or
I don't care if policies and laws are in place
for your freedom and for your rights.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's not what I mean.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'm just saying, like, it doesn't matter to me in
my life who you are engaging in romantic and sexual
interactions with. It's mainly because it's none of my fucking business.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
It's not my business. It's not.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
But I think you're right, Tailor, it doesn't you know.
I want people to be happy. I want people to
be free. I want people to I want people to
be free. That's what I want.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I feel like we should say Heal the World right
now by Michael Jackson. Heal the world, make it a
better place for you and for me and the entire
human race.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
There h you guys know that song? Please always make
me feel old.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't know that, but you shown. You guys are
my brother's age. You were born in ninety one. Yeah,
my little brother was born in ninety one, and he
really loved Free Willy and Heal the World and all that.
You guys, don't remember was his favorite movie in the life.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
At karaoke at my house a couple of months ago.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
I love that Okay sing it now? Yeah, like the
Rey of Jordans and will you be Okay? Even with
the singing No, my little brother loved. We used to

(26:46):
watch it. I hated it.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
I hated that I had to watch it because he
was the king of the house.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
I don't know what it went.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
I don't know why, but there's one scene from Free
Willy that always stuck with me.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
I'll never forget it.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
They're eating dinner and he passes the mashed potatoes, and
those mashed potatoes they look like some of the best
mashed potatoes I'd ever seen.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
I don't know why.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
But as they're eating dinner and he passed the ball
mashed potatoes, and he's just and I'm praying now that
I am not mistaking that for a scene from another movie.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
But I'm pretty sure it's Free.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
With I don't remember it.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
I like the idea that it's like it's rice and gravy.
It's not even mashed potatoes.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
It is rice and gravy.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
I don't know, I don't I don't remember if it's
Free Willy, but my mind told me it was, so
I'm just gonna.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Okay, let's go with it. I don't see a reason
to debate about it. What's going on in the news.
You guys may not have been tuned into this, but
there was a huge Kendrick.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Lamar and Drake rat battle going on over the weekend,
and I was tuned in like a mug.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
About it. But I don't know anything about it. I
don't understand it. I saw that it was happening.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
I love that, but you don't. I saw a meme.
I don't know. I saw that it was happening, but
I don't get it.

Speaker 6 (28:05):
This is I saw a meme about this, and so
I have to figure out, why is this meme funny?

Speaker 5 (28:10):
What's happening in the world? It was?

Speaker 1 (28:12):
It was, It was very interesting. It was basically.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
It was a lot.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
It was really a lot after like, because I love
a good rap beef that doesn't end in violence, because
I like for the talent to come out. But it
was just interesting because I think for me, at the
root of it, it just really proves that Drake is

(28:38):
not really well. He is a part of hip hop culture,
but he's not really, he's not really a rapper. He's
not really like he He is a fucking pop artist,
thank you, Tim. He is and guess what, he's a
pop artist that can rap. Okay, Yeah, And I think

(28:59):
that in and that isn't to take away from his
music because he has lots of hits that I really like.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Somebody said, like, we need Drake, like hip.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Hop needs Drake because we need those summer hits that
you are gonna hear, you know, when you're on Yeah,
when you're on the resort and you're on the cruise,
and they're gonna play it. But he is not like
real hip hop.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
He's not.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
And it was just really really interesting because it was like.

Speaker 7 (29:26):
Just say something about Kendrick first, and then this started
like a month.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Or so ago. This started like a month or so ago.
I think Kendrick Lamar went. Apparently a lot of people
in the industry are mad at Drake. I don't really
know why because I'm not that invested. And I did
do some a little bit of research, but I don't
really I'm not that invested, so I don't really care.
I didn't retain any of the information. But apparently future

(29:55):
is upset with him. Rick Ross was mad at him,
some else is madam. I was mad at him because
of a comment he made about Meg the Stallion when
she got shot, and he said basically insinuated that she
was lying because he's friends with Tory Lanez. The interesting
thing for me, though, is that if my friend is wrong,

(30:15):
I'm still gonna ride with my friend. So I get
riding with his friend even though his friend is wrong.
But I'm going to tell my friend you were fucked
up for doing that. But I would never get on
TV and publicly say negative things about the other person.
And if anybody asked me about my friend, I would say,
you know, we'll just let the courts see what's happening.

(30:36):
Or I would say so and so is my friend.
I love them and I'm going to support them through this.
And I would actually even say and I'm really sorry
if miss Stallion or whoever it is in doored or
withstood any pain as a result of what's going on.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
I just pray that everything works out.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
I would be really neutral, but I would not get
on TV and talk bad about the other person. But
I damn sure I'm not gonna get on TV and
talk bad about my friend. But I just think that
I think I thought it was interesting that he he
uh did that. I thought it was in poor taste.
And I fucking was done with him at that point

(31:19):
because I don't have a problem with cutting anybody and
he was done. That doesn't mean I'm not gonna listen
to Keiki Do you love me?

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Are you writing?

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Because I'm gonna listen to it, But like, I just
don't like, I don't see him in the same light.
And so it was really interesting to watch the whole
thing unfurl.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
It was really interesting mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
And it was so fun on like threads. The threads
is like the Twitter for Instagram. Yeah, this feels like
Twitter in two thousand and nine.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Oh, to be alive.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
It was great, all the memes, all the conversations.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
I loved it.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
I really am this one.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
One of the only piece of concent that I saw
about this was you know uh and it was listing
you know, so and so came out and support of Kendrick,
and it was like, you know, heavy hitters. Everybody was
like Kanye and oh yeah future Rick Ross and like
all these different people.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, Cross and Drake were verbally beefing online, really bad
a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Okay, it was really bad.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
So it's it says this.

Speaker 7 (32:25):
And actually it was like a it was from some
like large source, like not necessarily New York Times, but
like you know, they said that, and then they said
and Uma Thurman came out in support of Drake, and
that's it.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Oh yeah, hip hop legend than.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I think I love Uma Therman. To be fair, these
are just fun fact that nobody knows about me.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
I like, doesn't seem relevant to Drake.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
He is not relevant to hip hop culture in any way,
shape and not. So it's funny that you guys mentioned this,
because here's here's what I'll bring. It's funny that you
mentioned that because you said, so, why would you say that?
Is it because she's a white woman, a white actress, lady?

Speaker 6 (33:12):
Well, I just mean, like she's not a musician as
far as I am, at all, at all, at all,
And yeah, I mean maybe she is a hip hop
connoisseur and she loves hip hop and I don't know that,
and that's not fair for me to say about her.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
Okay, sure, sure, but my gut tells me she seems
a bit irrelevant to the conversation.

Speaker 7 (33:31):
Yeah, it's funny because of that, Like, that's the whole
crux of like, because you.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Would I mean, I would expect who knows. Maybe she
does know a lot about hip hop. I don't know,
but I mean I think that for somebody who doesn't
really know a lot about hip hop, Drake would be
the person that they would pick because he makes you think.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Drake makes all the fun songs. Kiki, do you love me?
Are you writing? I love that? I love that song.
He has a lot of songs that I like a lot.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
He has a song I'm upset, and when I'm upset,
it's immediately what I think about. But there was there's
this guy who does a lot of interviews of like
black hip hop stars.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
His name is DJ Vlad. Have you heard of him?

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Yeah? TV?

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah, yeah, sucks balls but whatever, neither there. I don't
fucking like him. I never had.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
I was going to say, then he looks like a
more geeky no jumper.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
No jumper.

Speaker 7 (34:27):
No Jumper is a dude who's like also interviews a
lot of hip hop artists.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Okay, okay, so he's huge.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
He's huge.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Blat TV is huge. Oh well, well, I don't like him.
I think he's a culture vulture, but that's neither there.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
And it's rare that you see him interview these black
hip hop artists and it's like uplifting or like it's.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Something about it makes me cringe. I can't.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
I don't have the language for it, and maybe I do,
but I don't want to be like really ignorant in
this moment, on this day. But something about him is
really cringey to me and extremely inauthentic. And the thing
that happened this week kind of solidified it for me.

(35:20):
So there was a he said something about the beat,
about the beef or something, and somebody on one of
the Platt social media platforms said, like, basically, this has
nothing to do with you mind your business, Like basically
like sty had a black folk's business, right, Well, he
didn't like that. And she is a professor, like a

(35:42):
tenured professor at Princeton or Harvard or Yale one of those,
and he basically threatened her and tagged Princeton, Harvard or
Yale wherever she worked, and said that she was a
racist and that that you know, basically like threatened her

(36:02):
to like get her get her in trouble at work
or like potentially get her fired or for her to
deal with some ramifications at work or consequences, you know,
like and she's like, I don't really care, like she
they went back and forth, and she was.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Like, I don't care what you do.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Like I'm tenured, and when I'm after this semester, I'm
done anyway because I'm going to do something else. And
it was just a lot of vitriol in what he said.
So the next day comes, I guess black Twitter or
black threads or black I g must have ate his
ass up.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Oh pause, that didn't didn't even say that I had
a good night.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, he was probably.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Really tired and needed some.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Bomb a bomb, he needed a sound Yeah, sorry, guys.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
Rest.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
So anyway that went left tore him up.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
They tore him a new asshole. So the next day
Paul is sorry.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
So the next day he started backtracking and like, you know,
I didn't mean that. Yeah, oh it was bad. Uh huh.
He was like, I.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Didn't mean that.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
I wasn't saying that to get you fired. And she
was like, yes you were, because you tagged my employer.
You tag my employer. Now, if they would have just
had a conversation, that's one thing, but you tagged her
employer so that they could see it, and so it
was a whole just big thing.

Speaker 7 (37:40):
You can't act out of anger, well just in generals,
just not a good idea. And you just you know,
the few times I hopefully a few in my life
that I've I just regretted, you know, just don't say
something stupid.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Take a moment and stop, stop and then you yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (38:01):
And if you do say something stupid, be a full
human and own up to it and just be like,
I didn't mean that.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
I said that. I didn't mean it the way it came.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
Out, or I know that at the time, and I
should I should have thought more, you know, yeah, take
accountability for me.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
It's just, you know, accountability is like a disease that
nobody wants. It's like COVID or something. Nobody wants it.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
But the truth of the matter is that we all
need it, Okay, And it was it was just bad.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
It was just bad.

Speaker 7 (38:41):
Maybe this is too much, but I feel like I've
sort of been thinking about this a little bit. Where
in our little worlds as individuals, you know, what we're
looking at culturally and politically and all of this, like
account of is not it doesn't exist when what we're

(39:05):
looking when we're looking out into you know, this corporate
world and this political environment, accountability is not really a thing.
And so I think that that's having an effect on
our individual lives and how we are addressing accountability. And
we're like, well, everybody else is getting away with it,
you know, so and so they're not taking care of

(39:26):
what they should be and that's so obvious, and we're
all looking at it, you know. So I think it's
affecting the individual when I.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Think of accountability.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
We use that word so much at work because you know,
I work with kids, and we work with kids ages
tend to sometimes twenty because sometimes people have failed a
couple of.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Times and they're twenty when they graduate from high school.
But we we.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Work with kids that are you know, young and about
to become like adults. And it's funny that she said that, Evan,
because maybe that's why they don't like to take a
caret on ability, or because they don't really have to,
or they live in a society where they can look
online nobody has to take accountability for the things that
they do and say online you can call people the

(40:10):
N word. You can call people slurs against their sexuality
and gender identity or non gender identity. People can say
dehumanizing things about women or about men.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Or your dog or poor.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
People, and nobody has to say, hey, that was fucked up.
I shouldn't have said that. No, even if somebody checks them,
they can still say no, because even though he did backtrack,
he didn't have to. He could have just rode the
horse out like what was going to happen to him?

Speaker 3 (40:41):
Right?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
So I think that I think that this is very
enlightening and it makes me think and when I go
to work tomorrow, I'm going to have a conversation with
my coworkers about this. We live in a society where kids.
We keep saying that we want these kids to take
accountability and understand that you have to be accountable.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
And they do because the law will hold you accountable.
But in their eyes, they don't understand what the law
is unless they have interacted with the law already so
they can say what they want they can. An example
is we get a lot of young ladies that take
inappropriate photos or make or film inappropriate videos of themselves

(41:19):
and then when it gets out they're.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Like, oh, what the fuck, good God, hey boo, it
was gonna get out. First of all, why did you
record it or take the picture in the first place?
You knew it was going to get out. You knew
it was going to get out.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
But also like did you not, like you just aren't
thinking beyond right now and you're not thinking that you
too have to be held accountable for taking the pictures
of or recording the video as well. You get what
I'm saying, because a lot of times they they I've
had a lot of young women become like the victim.

(41:55):
And while it is a very violating thing I'm sure
that they experience.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
I always think like, didn't you think that was going
to happen?

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Or you did because it happened to the other girl
who did it two weeks ago, or happened to the
other girl who did it last month or five months ago,
But why didn't you think that it would happen to you?
And why are you doing that because you know it's inappropriate.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
This is the sort of thing that makes me think
that you know, these kinds of conversations like around sex
ed and how that needs to be updated in our
Internet reality, that kind of conversation needs to be happening.
The minute a kid realizes that it's a part of

(42:41):
their world, they're like, oh shit, I found out about
like porn, or I found out about sexting or like
all that. If you find out about it, like you
should be able to talk about it, you know, and
you should be able to talk about it with the
adults in your lives and your life, and those are adults,
not be like like, I'm afraid to talk about this,

(43:05):
because if you're afraid to talk about it, the kid's
gonna get afraid to talk about it, and then they're
going to have this shame associated and they're also not
going to know anything about it, so they're going to
make stupid decision and they're going.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
To look to their peers for the information because that's
what happens.

Speaker 5 (43:21):
Exactly, and they're older peers.

Speaker 7 (43:22):
They're going to look to like the sixteen year old
who has like the nineteen year.

Speaker 6 (43:26):
Old brother or you know, like this is a fact,
or they're going to look to the internet, which is
just that's the thought safe check and the internet, you know,
the Internet appears to different people in different ways based
on your algorithm and what you've looked at and who
you are, and you know it's going to give you
different information.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Yeah, I remember, I used to work four years ago
an abstinence awareness nonprofit program, right, and I was in
my twenties, and so I had the the group.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
The group age group that I had was like twelve
to fourteen, and so most of the kids in the group,
they weren't sexually active, like.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
They didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
But you know, we talked about abstinence and why it's
important and all of these things. And so there was
one little girl in the group, and I just love
little black girls because they're funny. So she had I
could tell that, like she was a little more advanced
than the other girls. And come to find out, she

(44:27):
had a boyfriend. He was sixteen, right.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
And she was twelve.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
She was fourteen.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Between twelve and fourteen, she was probably thirteen or fourteen,
and she had a boyfriend who was about sixteen, and
they were sexually active. She was having sex, and so
we were talking about pregnancy and you know, how to
avoid pregnancy, duh, abstinence, And so she said, well, my

(44:54):
boyfriend told me that when we do it, this is
like verbatium orbatim. I'm only missing and like I might
be fudging the words a little bit.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Like two percent.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Well, my boyfriend told me that after we do it,
that I have to lean on the wall and lift
my left leg up, like hold my left leg up,
and then brace yourself, and then the come will run
out of.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Me and then I won't get pregnant. I was like,
oh Jesus, what do I do now? The other kids
are looking like, holy shit, what is she talking about? What? What?
What is that?

Speaker 5 (45:37):
And I'm just.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Looking like this, like my eyes are like like on
a bugs bunny or like an old hand of Barbara cartoon,
and they're like right, And I'm like, well, that is
not real information. That is not true. And you cannot
believe everything that your boyfriend says to you, or that

(45:57):
anybody says to you, because the only way to avoid
getting pregnant one hundred percent is to abstain from sex.
So the conversation continues, and she said, and my boyfriend
also told me that he can tell if I did
it to another boy, because my walls would be loose,
and he could tell because my walls would be loose.

(46:18):
Once again, I died and came back to life only
because I had to finish out this class. And so
the kids are looking around and they're like walls, and
I'm like okay, and so I said to her, I said.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Actually, I don't remember what the name was.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
That is not real either, because women have babies and
their cervix goes back to in their vaginal canal stretches
so that the baby can be born. Then and I'm
doing this stretches so that the baby can be born,
and then eventually, over time it goes back to its

(46:58):
normal size. And she was like, well, that ain't what
he told me because and I was like, well, he's wrong,
and he does that he's wrong, And I say, so
those are two lies that he has told you because
he doesn't have the right information. And this is why
it's important to find out information on your own from verified.

(47:18):
I don't think I use verified, but from a notable
or reputable source, which is not your boyfriend who doesn't
know anything.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
And who also seems like.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
He assumes everyone else has a bigger diict than him
because it's going to stretch out his girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
And so well, then there's that I didn't even think
about that.

Speaker 6 (47:37):
It is kind of someone else because they are definitely
have a bigger diic than me.

Speaker 5 (47:44):
After that was kind of that was kind of the.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
That's boy math because I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 8 (47:51):
I was just thinking, oh my god, girl, great, he
sounds like he's a little he's compensating well.

Speaker 5 (48:08):
But oh that is rough. That's a rough situation.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Yeah, I was like, girl, what, Yeah, I think I
had to have a conversation with her after class and
I had to reach out to her mom.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Yeah, of course, but you know, whatever, rough, It's been great.
What are you guys drinking?

Speaker 5 (48:28):
Water?

Speaker 2 (48:29):
Water?

Speaker 5 (48:31):
To get more specific, it's North Georgia spring water from the.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Water Oh, I was gonna say, is it from an
actual spring or does somebody deliver it to your home?

Speaker 6 (48:40):
It's delivered by the water man who goes and fills
up the bottles in North Georgia.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Cool. Is his name the waterman?

Speaker 5 (48:48):
No, that's the name name.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
Yeah, his name is Greg, Greg the water.

Speaker 6 (48:55):
Anywhere Georgia, I highly recommend Greg the Waterman.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Since Georgia Gregg the water Man.

Speaker 7 (49:03):
I'm drinking a whiskey that I actually somewhat shamefully so
I bought this for a friend for his birthday, and
I gave it to him, all right, I gave it
to him and he was like, dude, why don't you
keep this here and we'll drink it together when we're

(49:25):
coming to visit. And I was like, cool, that's great.
And then a couple of weeks later he quit drinking
nice You know what that was?

Speaker 2 (49:35):
That was your ancestors looking out.

Speaker 5 (49:38):
For you, that's right. So I bought myself like kind
of a nice spottle.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Shoot yourself twenty eleven.

Speaker 5 (49:47):
Well, what are you drinking?

Speaker 1 (49:50):
The Suja organic coal press tumeric love juice. It has
purified water, lemon, tumeric, pineapple, and passion fruit. Because I
am in the midst of a die, particulates flare up,
so I am not drinking any alcohol, and I'm trying
to get my stomach right because tomorrow my friends and
I are probably gonna go my friends as in my

(50:11):
coworker friends, and some of them are my actual friends,
Like we'll be friends until we're old, but we're gonna
go out to get something to drink. And I want
my stomach to be somewhat settled so that I can
drink something. I'm gonna try, but if I can't, I
can't because I don't want to go to the hospital.

Speaker 5 (50:31):
You could always boof it.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
What the fuck is beef it? What? I feel like
I'm out of I feel like I'm out of the
loop because you guys are best friends and have been
for a long time. I don't know what boofing is.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
Appropriate something we do.

Speaker 7 (50:49):
It's like an unfortunately kind of a known horrible thing.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
I'm gonna google it, but go ahead, keep talking, think.

Speaker 5 (50:57):
Of think of alcohol. But it's just a po oh that.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Is inappropriate to engage in anal Oh, Okay, I can
say this boof the dictionary and this is dictionary dot com, guys.
Boof says to engage in anal sex to ingest alcohol
or drugs rectally, for more rapid intoxication than ingestion by mouth.

Speaker 5 (51:21):
That's just you don't know anything about coffee enemas.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
I have heard of it. Yeah, I don't really know anything.

Speaker 6 (51:27):
I was asking because I have a couple of people
in my life who do it, and I've always been like, hmmm,
like it's not just like boofing coffee.

Speaker 5 (51:35):
Like you're just essentially that's like you're just going to
be real jacked.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
On caffeine bowl.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, but I mean it's supposed to like really clean
your bowels out.

Speaker 5 (51:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (51:46):
I'm starting to adopt this outlook on health and life
where I'm like, if they didn't do it, like thousands
of years ago, then we don't need to do it now.
There are lots of real If my hunting gas ancestors,
who were at the peak of human development didn't do that,
then I don't need to do that.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
I'm reading on medical news today it says that there
are no benefits to coffee.

Speaker 6 (52:12):
Yeah, that's what's controversial. So I thought you I was
wondering if you had I was so I was right.
The hunter gatherers all along. Don't put coffee in that,
there's no need.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
No. It also says that.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
People risk risk rectal burns caffeine overdose, alongside of other
complications of Anima's.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Returns. Dude, that's not cool.

Speaker 6 (52:36):
I know this is the first time we recorded these conversations,
but you know this is pretty typical.

Speaker 5 (52:40):
For our weekly talks. I've learned a lot about what's
from you.

Speaker 6 (52:44):
But a few weeks ago I learned about a BBL
and I pretty sure I identified my first one in
the wild at the.

Speaker 5 (52:51):
Beach a couple of years ago.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
You saw BB.

Speaker 5 (52:54):
Can't you take a picture in this? I don't know.
I probably didn't have my phone, you know me.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
He probably had that flip phone thing. I'm so glad
you got rid of that shit.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
I was mad about that.

Speaker 6 (53:06):
Yeah, but anyway, I'm pretty sure I was like, that's
a butt. That's crazy. And I was like, oh no,
that's not real.

Speaker 5 (53:11):
I learned.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
So here's another thing that's I'm taking this back to
the Kendrick Drake b You know, there's a rumor that Drake.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Had a BBL and had his abs done.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
What and so there's a whole song and that is
gonna be the song that's gonna be the jam this week.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
It's called BBL Drizzy. There's a whole fuck.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
BBL drizzy.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
It's so good.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
It's called BBL Drizzy and it sounds like an old
soul song from like the seventies.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Bb L Drizzy, BBL Drizzy. Oo oo oo ooh, it's great.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
He probably did have a bb I wouldn't be surprised
if he had his butt done.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
He's a wild dude, like he's a strange, strange Canadian man.

Speaker 7 (54:02):
Yeah, like you'd have to be to have the kind
of trajectory that he's had because it.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Wasn't he like a paraplegic. He was a paraplegist yeah
about something?

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Yeah what And now you're like this thug life rapper, dude, Drake,
sit down please.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
I never thought of him in that way.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
I always just thought he was highly emotional, very sensitive,
did a lot of singing, and I like that about
sensitive artist.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Yeah, and I think that that is okay.

Speaker 7 (54:39):
I feel like I would prefer I would like I
might like him if he embraced that part of him.
And I think that, like, I'm clearly I'm not somebody
who I'm not a hip hop head, you know, but
I can see that Drake is also not really a
hip hop head, you know, He's.

Speaker 5 (55:00):
I can tell you know. So it just seems like
you just seem inauthentic. That's it, you know. Not that
I'm the person to make that call, but you kind
of seem that way.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
But I also will say to your in your defense
or to your whatever the word is that I can't
think of right now, but you are a musician.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
One.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
You're very tuned into music culturally, in different genres of music.
Even if you're not like a stone cold hip hop head,
you're tuned into music and you're an artist, and as
an artist you can tell inauthentic art like it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
The medium, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Like somebody could paint and I could look at it
and be like this seems a little forced.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Somebody could sing I'm not really into, Like what's the
music that I don't really like? What's that kind of
rock that's like death metal? Like it's not my jam,
but I could probably listen to it and be like
something about this don't sound right. It's the same thing
like Drake you on one song saying Ki Ki do

(56:10):
you love me?

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Are we writing?

Speaker 1 (56:12):
And you have a song called a two cy Slide
where people are doing a dance routine and then saying
that you shot people like in the words of jay Z,
we don't believe you. You need more people like, we
don't believe what you're saying. Yeah, but we like you
and we like your songs. Well, I don't like him
anymore after what he said about Magne Stallion, but and

(56:34):
he said something about Serena Williams too, like leave Black
women alone, Drake, leave black women the fuck alone. Please
thank you, because we're the ones listening to your dumb
ass songs. Ki Ki do you Love Me?

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Are You Writing?

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Which is probably to me one of his best songs ever,
But that's because it's poppy, and I think that he
should just be a pop artist.

Speaker 7 (56:54):
Yeah, I agree, you should just embrace it. I have
a I so if I am in I brought this
this article boy that I am curious what y'all think
about this.

Speaker 5 (57:09):
I was, but it's not.

Speaker 7 (57:11):
Shockingly, I was talking with my roommate and I was
telling her that we were going to do this and
I was like, I'm not sure what to you know,
what to bring? And I was thinking about, like, anyway,
it doesn't matter, I decided. So she was telling me
about this, and it's this article from the University of Virginia.
There's this researcher who's doing research around this wild subject

(57:35):
and it's children who report memories of past lives.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
I talk about this to people in You've you've heard
about this, well, I know about I figured y'all would
be into this kind of thing. It's crazy, yeah, well
it's real.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
Well, so I think that, like I talked a little
bit about I don't really talk a lot about my
spiritual like practices or beliefs, but I one million percent
believe in should I go blank, thank you, reincarnation. I
was like, recolonization, that's fucking not as please God. No,

(58:18):
I believe in reincarnation one hundred percent. And I definitely
believe strongly that oftentimes babies and in Black culture, in
Black American culture, I'm not sure if this is that
way and any other like black cultures in the diaspora
or in Africa, but in Black American culture, we say
a lot of times, of course, oh that baby been

(58:41):
here before, right, And if a baby is born very
close to the time of someone's death, we oftentimes say
that that might be the spirit of so and so
coming back, or you know, oh that's so and so.
I say it all the time, Oh that's so and so,
Like I believe that.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
My little cousin.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
I actually today is the anniversary of my uncle's death,
and it is my grandfather's birthday. So the fact that
I'm not weeping like a willow is a lot. Yeah,
it is a very emotion It's a very emotional week
for me.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
But yet I persevere, and I truly believe that his
granddaughter is him.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
She was born on his birthday. And one time I
was talking to her. She's not she's one, and I
was talking to her on FaceTime, like I called her
and she answered, but I was talking to her mom
my cousin, and I was talking to her on FaceTime,
and I was like, are.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
You my uncle?

Speaker 1 (59:44):
I was like, uncle, pauses at you, and I said,
there's a thing that he used to do, like he
had a series of strokes, and even before he had strokes,
he would do this thing where when we were calling
like people like dumb or like slow or not slow,
like but like you're you're dumb, we would he would
be like, baki, baki, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:00:06):
What the fun You're taping your head with your palm
just for those yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Yeah, for those who can't see it right, Like he
would hit his head almost like when like black women
are like trying to scratch their here, but they.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Have a weave or a wig on.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
So he was he does like that. He had a
bald head and he'd be like baki baki. And I said,
I said, Ryan, are you uncle? Pause, and she looked
at me and she was like yeah, and I was
like yeah. I said okay, I said, if you are,
say baki and I hit my head and she, you know,
she didn't have a lot of dexterity, but she went

(01:00:39):
like this and she put her hand on her head.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
I said, holy shit.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
And I told my cousin, I said, I got to
give the phone with you right now because I'm freaked.

Speaker 5 (01:00:48):
Yeah, I'm windy. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:00:49):
I remember when my nephew was born, my sister showed
him a picture of our grandmother, who he never met,
and he acted like he knew her, like he had
met her up there and was like, oh, yeah, no,
that's grandma.

Speaker 5 (01:01:02):
Like he like, he said that I have to clarify
for her.

Speaker 6 (01:01:05):
What exactly he said, but it was something to the
extent of like, oh yeah, that's that's grandma. Yeah, oh yeah,
that's my friend, or I know her, or like, And
it happened on multiple occasions, in like different photographs he
would see her and recognize her, which I thought was
very interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
One of my coworkers we were talking about that because
and oftentimes you can tell because the kid just has
like a old soul or just like a like they're
just funny in a different kind of way, not like
in a most kids funny like she has this she
has a daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
And so we were talking and I told her, I was.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
Like, you know, I think your kid has been here
before because she's ridiculously funny, Like you know how the
Mormon guys come and knock on the door in their
dress alike, and so I think that happened.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
This is the most recent thing she told me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
She said when they came and opened the door, and
she was like, hey, mom, look it's the boy twinsies. No, no, no, no,
the twinsy boys. That's what she called them. She was like, Mom,
look it's the twinsy boys. Like she acts like a
forty something year old woman. Yeah, you know what I mean,
like a forty six year old, but no, like a

(01:02:13):
forty six, forty seven, almost fifty, maybe even between between
forty five and fifty five year old white woman that
smokes cigarettes and drinks like white wine. Right, She's like, oh, look, Mom,
it's the twinsy boy What the fuck are you talking about?

(01:02:34):
And so she told me a couple of months ago
that she had said to her, oh mon, remember when
we had the fire at the other house and so
she was like, I don't know what to do with that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
I know what she's talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
And she was like, we never had a fire at
another house when she said they have a rental property,
and so she was like, you know where, and she's
been the little girl's been to the rental property before.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
So she was like, well, maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
She meant there. She said, she said it again last week. Hmm,
same thing. Mom, Remember when there was the fire at
the other house and she said she was like, no,
I don't. And so she said, it almost makes me
want to look up the history of the rental property
to see if there was ever a fire. I said,
it could be that rental property. I said, it could

(01:03:21):
be a house that she lived in many realms ago, like,
and she could just be saying that. So I definitely
because that's weird as fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
That's weird.

Speaker 5 (01:03:32):
Yeah, yeah, And so what do you do.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
With that information? Like, I definitely believe that kids.

Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
Oh yeah, there's there's a lot of evidence in the article.
You haven't shared it with us, but I'm I'm guessing.
Do they reference the kid who was the fighter pilot?

Speaker 7 (01:03:50):
Yes, yeah, there's the memories of being a pilot and
getting shot down.

Speaker 6 (01:03:54):
Yeah, there's a kid who, like I have a book
about him.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Oh, because you.

Speaker 6 (01:04:01):
Growing up, I was really into World War two. So
for one Christmas, my parents got me this book and
it's about a kid who when he starts talking, he
starts talking about his experience fighting in World War Two and.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Like the when he's his first word, like when.

Speaker 6 (01:04:14):
He's yeah, he's young, you know, he's a kid, and
he talks about like he says, like names of people
who can be like verified as having served in whatever
unit he's talking about. He talks about specific places and
events that occur that can be verified. There's no way
that he knows because he's five. Yeah, he's like under
ten years old. You know, it's insane.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
That's amazing.

Speaker 5 (01:04:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
I never heard of him, but that's I mean, I
believe it. One hundred a thousand percent. I believe it.
I believe it. And I think it's funny when people like,
if you believe it that God is omnipotent and that
God is the present, and that God is the greatest,
which I believe, Like anything is possible.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
What did I just say possible?

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
Everything's popsicles, everything is Yeah. I mean, if you like
read the Bible and take it all literally.

Speaker 6 (01:05:08):
Then like, yeah, dude, this place that we live is
Craig Crag and there's been some really wild stuff that
has happened here going on. Yeah, and we just kind
of pretend that those parts are fake. But then we
take like the other parts and are like, these parts
are real. Jesus was real and all the things he
said are good and we should do that. But then
like giants and fallen angels and like reading with human

(01:05:31):
women and like, I don't think any of that happened,
but like the rest of.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
It, people and the man in the whale and then
he got out on the plale too far whale.

Speaker 6 (01:05:41):
But what if that part is like the true part,
you know, like those yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
Or the lions, then my guy, you're getting eaten today.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
Yeah, but I mean, I mean I think that. And
this is not to offend anybody that you know, does that.
Like I grew up Christian. I grew up in all
of the different kinds of Christian churches, the Pentecostal Church
or Apostolic Church, Baptist Church. You know, it's great at
the Church of God all the.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Things, but.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Like, even as a little girl, I always question the Bible.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
I always thought, like, who wrote this?

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
My question was who was King James? Because it sounds
like he was a white guy from England. Probably Who
was King James? Why did he write the Bible? Why
didn't anybody else, Why did anybody else get a chance?

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
Why didn't they ask somebody from China.

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Or get the original? And how does he know?

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
How does he know? Yeah, did a little kid come
and tell him that was reincarnated? Because that's possible, but
like a thousand years later, I don't know, because I
don't know. I'm not even going to pretend to know.
I'll though, let's look it up a long after how
long after the Bible?

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
After what we're talking about, scene eleven? It was one
thy six and eleven years later.

Speaker 6 (01:07:14):
That the translation number and arrangement in the King James
version is. And I mean they removed books like if
you there's other books that people don't read because they're
not in that version. But the Bible was much larger,
you know, So yeah, it just makes.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
I don't even think that's the first one. Yeah, there was,
there were so many but more.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Yeah, And I wonder if though a King James version
is the same as let's say, the Ethiopian Coptic Christian Bible.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
M M, probably not. Hell don't know, but no.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
But that was that was interesting. I definitely believe in that.
I believe that one hundred kids.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
That's interesting about that little fighter pilot God, oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:07:58):
Just he was a couple of it out of me,
A couple other like little interesting things that are in
the article. In many cases, the child's statements correspond accurately
to the life and death of a deceased individual. Some
children have birth marks or birth's effects congruent with wounds
or marks on the deceased person, using post mortem reports

(01:08:19):
to confirm. Older children may retain these apparent memories, but
they generally seem to fade around the age of seven.
They've been found all over the world children like this, So.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
It's only certain children.

Speaker 5 (01:08:32):
It's not all children, just certain children a memory.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
I bet it is, But I bet we just forget
it by seven. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
Wow, I'm willing to bet because I do believe that
we just come back. But I do also believe that
sometimes we don't come back as humans. I have a
friend who says she wants to come back next time
as a whale.

Speaker 6 (01:08:54):
Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, I totally believe it. There's
a lot of discussion about this, like in the space
of like near death experiences, also about people who have
near death experiences and that you know, at the end,
you're told, like go to the light, go towards the light,
but the light is actually like the soul recycler, and

(01:09:15):
that's how you end up back here, is to go
to the light. But if you avoid going to the light,
your energy is reabsorbed into the universe, and you know,
like you become an well you as the human soul
individual seese to exist.

Speaker 5 (01:09:29):
But I mean that's what I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:09:32):
Part of me thinks that, you know, we are all
from the same energy and larger universal soul. Maybe it's one,
and we split off into these individual notes to come
down here and experience physical life with limitations. But in
the end, you're like a light being that reabsorbs into
the universal energy and you know whatever. I don't know,
I don't know if that's true, but sounds pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
But don't go towards the light, yeah, or do if
you want to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
And I will say that, you know, I think, I
don't know, but I like, I like what you're saying
it sounds it sounds cool to me. I'm not saying
that it's necessarily my belief.

Speaker 6 (01:10:11):
And I'm not saying it's my belief either, just to
be clear, like something I think about, I do a
lot of thought experiments, and I can't tell you what
is real.

Speaker 5 (01:10:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:10:20):
There's so many possibilities. I definitely believe in God in
some form, but other than that, I just love to speculate.
So that's just me speculating.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Well, that's kind of fun, yeah, to kind of because
what if we're all just like stars.

Speaker 6 (01:10:34):
I mean, as Carl Sagan said, like you are star dust,
you were made of the same things that stars are
made of. All the same elements that exist in you
and on the periodic table all exist in all the
stars out there.

Speaker 5 (01:10:46):
We're all made from the same matter.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
I believe that I am walking star dust. I wish
that when I did.

Speaker 5 (01:10:53):
Like this, like a nice long like wind chime sound.

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Effect there, Yeah, let's do it one more time, and
that would come out like on the like on the
can You Feel It video by the Jacksons. You guys
don't know that because you're six, but look at it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
When this is over you press you?

Speaker 5 (01:11:19):
Would you press your want wanh wanh wanh button real quick?

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
I don't have it anymore, okay, but I can press
another one.

Speaker 7 (01:11:27):
Yeah, press another one because I'll make sure to add
the star sound.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
Uh. It ended up being Ship is Getting Real by
Cardi B. Is Getting Real?

Speaker 5 (01:11:47):
I love?

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
That's your favorite, right? Oh? No love?

Speaker 5 (01:11:51):
Have you guys seen the video?

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Oh you said it?

Speaker 5 (01:11:54):
I said it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
I hate it when you were saying it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:56):
You said it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
At the same time.

Speaker 6 (01:11:57):
You've seen the video where someone like sound effects our
Wars trailer with only Cardi B like sounds.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Okay, that would be awesome. So here's what I think
we should do.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
I'm going to put in the show notes to Michael Jackson,
I mean the Jackson can You Feel It? Video, because
everybody needs to see that video because it's fucking amazing
and I think it came out in the late seventies.
It's just glitter and sparkles everywhere. And I think you
should send that video link to me so I can

(01:12:30):
put it in the show notes for the Star Wars.

Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
I just put it in the chat.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Well, don't put it in the chat because I'm gonna lose.

Speaker 5 (01:12:37):
That well, you can click it and leave the tab open.
What you mean, and that way you can also watch
it right now. I also don't twenty three seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
So okay, she is getting real.

Speaker 5 (01:12:50):

the chat too.

of things.

Speaker 6 (01:14:23):
We talked about accountability, authenticity, We talked about real information, uh,
you know, not trusting everything you're told everything you read
how the Internet can't be trusted.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
I can't trust it.

Speaker 6 (01:14:36):
And so that kind of brings me to the thing
I brought, which I will need to screen share for share.

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
So can you see that is it ai?

Speaker 6 (01:14:52):
So this is a website called is it ai and
it's used to detect whether image or text was created
by AI or not, and it gives you like a
percentage chance that it's human or AI, and it's usually
a mix of both.

Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
Oh boy, So I did some that I thought.

Speaker 6 (01:15:14):
Were kind of interesting, and I'm going to just go
through the process here just to show you.

Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
A couple of things.

Speaker 6 (01:15:21):
So, dude, So, there's been a lot of controversy I've
seen online about this video of Kate Middleton, who you know,
she had cancer recently and the shot it's a really

(01:15:43):
beautiful shot. She's a really nice garden, but it looks
a little bit fake in my opinion. I don't know
if you agree, but I've seen a lot of people
online questioning whether this has been altered or if that's
really her. And there was the controversy about whether or
not there was a double as her scene out before

(01:16:03):
this announcement was made.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
I don't know anything about this Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:16:07):
Really, you don't know anything about the Kate Middleton stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:16:09):
So there's just a lot of speculation as to whether
she's like been in the hospital for a while in
a coma, or if she there's something happened to her
because she was not in the public for quite a while.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
That happened with Jamie Fox last year too.

Speaker 6 (01:16:24):
Right, Well, that's an interesting one, and maybe that's keep
that in mind because we'll do a Jamie Fox photo
next maybe.

Speaker 5 (01:16:31):
So.

Speaker 6 (01:16:31):
I just downloaded a screenshot from the video of her
account cancer announcement. I'm uploading it to the site called
is it Aion the Princess Lady?

Speaker 5 (01:16:43):
Yeah, we're just going to check and see what it says.
Is it real?

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
I don't remember who there was?

Speaker 6 (01:16:46):
Oh listen, according to this website, ninety nine four percent
likelihood as computer generated.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
Whoa, that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:16:58):
What two point zero six percent chance that it's a
human like captured image?

Speaker 5 (01:17:05):
So they good?

Speaker 6 (01:17:08):
So I did this a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
they're saying that this is AI, this is a deep
fake essentially got the cancers, and I'm claiming it. I'm
not saying the website's claiming it because the website I
went to it today actually, and this wasn't here the
other day when I did this, but right here at
the bottom, it says Kate Middleton video controversy about the
role of AI, and they published an.

Speaker 5 (01:17:29):
Article talking about how.

Speaker 6 (01:17:32):
You can't take this site to be fact, but it
is like really good at finding out what's fake, and
you have to just take that as your own to
your own conclusions. So this article doesn't say like we've
made a mistake or it's real. It's just saying like
we can't tell you that this is fake or real
or really we have to say exactly exactly. But I
mean their algorithm, which is apparently really really good at

(01:17:56):
determining what's AI, says it's ninety seven point ninety four
percent chance that it is.

Speaker 5 (01:18:00):
Fake, even if it's eighty percent pretty likely.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
Yeah, I didn't know that this was happening.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
So something happened here actually locally, actually very close in
the house. They're at a principal at a school. A
few months ago, I want to say, January or February,
a record, maybe even March, A recording came out of
him saying all this racist stuff. He was having a
conversation with one of the other admins, and he was

(01:18:29):
saying racist stuff about black people, racist stuff about Jewish people.
Because the school is in an area that's.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
There are a lot of Jewish people, Orthodox or Hasidic
Jews and not Orthodox and Hasidic Jews.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
I don't know what the proper term would be, So
I'm just gonna sayid because I didn't want to do that.

Speaker 7 (01:18:52):
Jews or Orthodox Orthodox Jews aren't necessarily.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
No, That's why I said a different That's why I said,
you know too. But then and also like Jewish people
who are not Orthodox nor Hasidic, I didn't want to
say regular Jewish people because that would not be helpriate
to say, even though I just.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
Said regular Jewish people.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
But it's a highly populated area, and he was saying
negative things about Jewish people, and everything's about black people
and about the kids that go to the school, and
the population at the school is predominantly black. It's predominantly black,
and they were saying like all this nasty stuff about

(01:19:36):
the kids are stupid, they can't read, and so the
man lost his job. When it came out, everybody was like,
oh my god, grab my pearls, clutch my Pearls and
my coworker when we listen to it, my brother, he's
like my brother, he's like my dude.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
He said, there's no way that this man said this
just has to be AI. Shout out to you, Bryan.

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
Come to find out it came out like two weeks
ago or last week, fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:20:04):
AI, and it was wait a minute, it was the
a D at.

Speaker 5 (01:20:08):
The school who was there was a hit job.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
It was an inside job inside.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
It was the athletic director at the school, a black guy,
and he set the guy up. That's insane, that's fucking
wait crazy right, Yeah, yeah, wow.

Speaker 6 (01:20:25):
This to lead to such a like close to home story,
like it's on the ground, AI, no real life.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
I'm going to see if I can find it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
I know I haven't because I know I sent it
because I was like, this man is out of control.
Why would he say this? Why would and whoever he was,
he was talking to this woman named Carol.

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
I was like, he.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
Needs to be fired, Carol needs to be fired. This
whole establishments needs to go down. Come to find out
it's the fucking black a D setting the man up.

Speaker 7 (01:20:56):
That was wild juicy to use Dave Chappelle's rendering.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
When that happened with Jesse Smile. Don't do this to us.
Black people have enough fucking hardship.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
We don't need this, mister Smollett.

Speaker 6 (01:21:16):
Yeah, so you brought up Jamie Fox.

Speaker 5 (01:21:27):
Do you know about like the Oh yeah, okay, I'm just.

Speaker 6 (01:21:30):
Gonna say the word that I don't like because I
don't think it's the conspiracies about Jamie Fox.

Speaker 5 (01:21:38):
I don't know about this, right, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:21:41):
Allegedly he was, Yeah, there you go, you know how
to talk about this kind of stuff. Allegedly he was
in a coma, and then he got out of a
coma and he lost a bunch of weight. He looked
pretty different, and everyone was like, oh, but there was
one thing that really stood out to me was that
he had a tattoo on his head before and now
apparently he doesn't have a tattoo on his head anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:22:02):
Let me see, I don't I haven't found it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Remember him having a tattoo on his head.

Speaker 5 (01:22:07):
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
Look at pictures. I'm gonna go to like his old Can.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
You see my Google search or do just do you
see the AI page? No, we can only see that
a lad Okay, okay, I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
Kate Middleton, right, are you talking about the tattoo that
is his fake hairline?

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
Because yes, yeah, no is that that's not a tattoo taylortoo,
no hairline.

Speaker 5 (01:22:36):
Oh no, it's on the back of his head.

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
Okay, you're not talking about the front stuff with the
dark color.

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
No, I'm talking about the back of his head.

Speaker 1 (01:22:44):
I don't know about a tattoo on the back of
his head because what he does, he gets. He does
the same thing Lebron James gets that a lot of
black guys get when they go to the barbershop and
they put that stuff on there to make their hair
look darker or make.

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
Their hairline, make their hairline look more full.

Speaker 5 (01:23:05):
They feel it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Let me see. Okay, yeah, I've never seen that before.
Oh but I guess I never noticed me either. But
I mean, yeah, it's real. Yeah, yeah, let's see.

Speaker 6 (01:23:21):
I haven't I haven't done this search to see if
there's a shot at the back of his head in
the hospital girl the Comfortables.

Speaker 1 (01:23:31):
I think it's fake though, because now I'm seeing one
where he has one in the front of his head too.

Speaker 5 (01:23:36):
It's like a temporary thing.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
I don't know. It seems to weird I've never noticed it.

Speaker 6 (01:23:43):
It could have been for a film. Yeah, yeah, but
usually his hair is a little longer in the back,
like he's got a fade, so it covers some of it.

Speaker 7 (01:23:51):
I mean that one in the in the middle, right
there with the blonde who's standing next to you can
see the back of his head.

Speaker 5 (01:24:00):
Oh wait, no, up up a bit from where you were.

Speaker 7 (01:24:05):
Yeah, this one, Yeah, you can see the back of
his head right there enough.

Speaker 5 (01:24:09):
That you would see your true Can you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
See it right there?

Speaker 5 (01:24:12):
Hold on, let's uh there we go.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
After recovering from his mysterious medical emergency condition.

Speaker 5 (01:24:21):
So anyway then I don't care. Did you make it big? Yeah?
You can't see it?

Speaker 2 (01:24:28):
Oh, now I wonder about the Yeah, it might have
been for a roll, right, All these things could be true.

Speaker 6 (01:24:37):
So when you said Jimmie Fox, my thought was, Okay,
I'm gonna take a picture of Jamie Fox and put
it on this thing.

Speaker 5 (01:24:43):
So let's do that next.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
We're about to do something we knew before. It might
have been for it might have been from oh trippy okay, yeah,
scared me what happened?

Speaker 5 (01:25:01):
Okay, So I'm gonna miss this.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
One because I was on the Google so I wasn't on.

Speaker 5 (01:25:08):
The and then we're going to check it out, check
it out. Oh it was. It was just infinite images
of us.

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
Oh it's beautiful.

Speaker 5 (01:25:17):
It went like, all right, let's.

Speaker 6 (01:25:18):
See, Oh he's human. He's Jammie Fox from some sports
Morgan's stand eighty eight point eight nine percent human image.
So okay, try another one, try a different picture of him. Yeah, okay, maybe.

Speaker 5 (01:25:37):
From a different event. It's really fascinating.

Speaker 7 (01:25:40):
Mean, it gives you the giving you the percentage, You're like, well,
you could check all of these different photos like in
a magazine where you know it's been photos and you
can kind of get a sense of how much it
was photoshot.

Speaker 5 (01:25:52):
Yeah. See, that's what I've been trying to figure out. Also,
is like, is this being.

Speaker 6 (01:25:56):
Triggered by photoshop after the fact, so then it says, oh, computerized.

Speaker 2 (01:26:03):
Fake, it's still more than.

Speaker 5 (01:26:07):
Like the human.

Speaker 6 (01:26:10):
Almost AI, which maybe is from a photo shopping.

Speaker 5 (01:26:13):
This is definitely a photo shoot.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:26:15):
So anyway, I have a couple more I wanted to
show you. If you have ideas of ones you want
to check. That's that was my idea. It's just like
let me know and we'll run them through.

Speaker 5 (01:26:23):
Here.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Uh am, I real.

Speaker 5 (01:26:29):
I mean I'd be curious to check out some Joe
Biden just exactly what I just typed in. So we've
got we've got the presidential portrait here.

Speaker 6 (01:26:37):
Let's just check out the presidential.

Speaker 5 (01:26:41):
Portrait Biden alien Joe Biden.

Speaker 6 (01:26:46):
I don't know if he's an alien or if he's
just a human in a mask, or what's going on
with that guy? Anyway, here's the picture of his presidential
exceeds the limits size limit, it's too high quality.

Speaker 5 (01:26:58):
Let's see fight a lower rest jb All right, here
we go.

Speaker 6 (01:27:16):
So this is Joe Biden's presdential portrait sixty five point
three seven percent.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
Wow, Joe Biden, you're fake, You're not your portrait fake? Wow,
Joe Biden is not real. Maybe he's an alien.

Speaker 5 (01:27:35):
That picture of him at least isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Is not real? I mean, poor man, so old, oh man,
Well that looks.

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
Have you guys done that thing where you pay ten
dollars and you get the AI headshots?

Speaker 5 (01:27:51):
I have not no.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
But one of my coworkers did is he just got
a new job, and he was showing them to me,
and I was like, clearly, these people don't know who
you are because they put you in a purple suit.
You don't even wear the color purple, but they put
you in a purple suit and you look like diabolical

(01:28:15):
Edward Norton, Like, what is happening? Yeah, it was weird.
He does kind of look like, no, he doesn't normal,
but in these pictures he definitely looked like diabolical ed Norton.

Speaker 5 (01:28:27):
Y'all.

Speaker 7 (01:28:27):
So I think this is relevant and this isn't Edward
Norton related, but I rewatched The Matrix recently and it
was really fun to watch it again and kind of
like update my current person to that movie and thinking

(01:28:49):
about AI and sentients in machines and kind of the
conversation that the Matrix is having around that.

Speaker 5 (01:29:01):
I feel like Edward Norton is maybe a similar actor.
I don't have to, it doesn't have to tie in,
but we're talking about AI, you can Matrix.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
I don't know anything about the Matrix except for when
you do like that and the bullets. You know what
I'm saying, right.

Speaker 7 (01:29:17):
Yes, yes, all, I remember, all right, I just do
like a brief overview of what happens. He you know, neo,
mm hmm. He is the one and this like kind
of this Jesus metaphor you can see kind of happening.

(01:29:41):
And then the city, the underground city that they're living
in in the real world is called Zion. It's got
all these religious over time.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
I remember that as you talk. I remember mm hmm.

Speaker 7 (01:29:52):
And so he's like encountering he's he's having a you know,
he's different, Like his reallylationship with the matrix is totally
different for some reason, and like it's like he's this
kind of different evolved element or how.

Speaker 5 (01:30:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:30:08):
But there's also in the matrix, as like the next
couple of movies come by, there's there's more complex machines
or codes or you know, entities that are sentient in
their own way and they are living in the machine world,

(01:30:29):
but they have their own personalities, but they're they're ai has.

Speaker 6 (01:30:34):
They were coded by the machines but achieved independent sentience
because they were smart enough to code themselves into that position.

Speaker 5 (01:30:42):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:30:43):
And they're making choices there and there's like this line
like the illusion of choice, you know, and they're like talk,
there's like this big conversation about choice, and uh, yeah.
It was really fascinated and it made me think about
you know if AI, which is conversation that a lot
of people are having. I was having just the again
the other night with a couple of friends two nights ago.

(01:31:07):
You know, we're talking about it right now. And if
it gets to the point where some machine reaches sentience,
you know, how are we gonna treat that being? And
uh powers, what's our reaction to that going to be?

Speaker 5 (01:31:27):
Is that ever gonna happen? I don't know it is,
has it already happened?

Speaker 6 (01:31:33):
The thing is that we keep going a level into
creating a world that sustains the world above it, which
that shows ridiculous, but like the idea that there's a
realm above us that created a simulated universe which is
our universe, in order to harness all the energy we
create to power their universe. But then in our universe,

(01:31:56):
which is simulated to power a higher one, we will
end up creating a simulated universe below us to harness
the energy from you know, And it's just this infinite
chain of It's like where do we fall on that?
Like we have particle colliders that recreate the Big Bang
and make tiny tiny black holes and all kinds of
crazy ship like.

Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
That how do we particle collider?

Speaker 6 (01:32:16):
Are we sure that we are the incepting universe and
that we didn't get created in a particle collider?

Speaker 5 (01:32:22):
And now we're doing the same exact.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
Thing like particle collide.

Speaker 6 (01:32:26):
Anyway, the matrix makes me think of that, just layers
and layers of.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
Code a particle collider.

Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
Totally.

Speaker 7 (01:32:35):
There was something else that maybe earlier think about that
particle universe multiverse thing.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
This is ship that I don't think about.

Speaker 5 (01:32:43):
This is cern. Yeah, if you don't know any about SERN,
you should look that up.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
And if you are in or R I'm looking at.

Speaker 6 (01:32:52):
Can look up the most recent conspiracies about the un clips.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
I'm gonna tell you Ancern in that. Yeah, I'm gonna
tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:32:59):
Why I'm not going to do this because I'm not
gonna go down that rabbit hole because the way that
my mind works, I will be walking around scared as
fuck that whatever is about to happen, because once I
saw these.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
What the fuck these shapes and shit m M.

Speaker 1 (01:33:19):
Because because I am a conspiracy theorist, the last thing
I need is more shit to make me not trust
the government, other human beings or sentient beings. Because I
don't really know what we are now, Thanks Taylor. The
last thing that I need is for me to believe,
because I do. I do believe in aliens, and I

(01:33:40):
was just talking to my co workers about this yesterday.
I do believe that there are other life forms that
walk amongst us, among us, I do just saying, oh, yeah,
oh yes, I do.

Speaker 6 (01:33:52):
Are you are you thinking like body snatching, shape shifting,
reptilian shape shifting?

Speaker 5 (01:33:58):
Okay, what are your shape shifty?

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
Yeah? I don't. The reptilian thing is a bit much
for me. I'm forty I'm forty four.

Speaker 5 (01:34:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Like I watched V like I was, I was alive
with the original that the original V yeah I know
were talking about I was. I was alive and I
did not watch it because I was like, this is
fucking scared. I watched lie scientific best see.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
I don't even know what that is because I didn't
watch it because I watched enough and somebody turned into
a fucking reptile right then and there.

Speaker 5 (01:34:27):
If you haven't seen that, that is, y'all should watch that.
It's great graphy. It's literally just the letter. It was. Yeah.
It was a hidden news show mini series and they
did like multiple.

Speaker 1 (01:34:40):
I want to say, it might have been like eighty
seven or eighty eight.

Speaker 5 (01:34:43):
What was the year the original Battle? I think it
was the original one series eighty four.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
Damn, I was four, Okay, first episode is eighty four.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
I was going on five. What was the date of
the first episode?

Speaker 1 (01:34:57):
Probably the fall October. I was five years old. No,
thank you, I just turned five.

Speaker 5 (01:35:04):
New you should go back and watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
Not by myself, I live. Yeah, No, you don't really
know me that well now that I live alone, I
don't really.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
I used to watch like Game of Thrones at night
and watch it, you know. Nope, if i'm if it's scary,
I'm watching it in the daytime, and nine times out
of ten I'm not gonna watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
I watch Harry Potter in the day.

Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
I watch Game of Thrones, House of Dragons, all that
stuff I watched in the daytime. Otherwise I'm not really
watching scary stuff because, uh, you guys don't really know
how this thing works.

Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
This thing here, I'm pointing to my brain, my head,
you don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
And I'll be fucking running around in the middle of
the day buying device.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
Definitely, I'm not I.

Speaker 6 (01:35:48):
Close the t there's too much there to rock your
closed faber reality.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Yeah, but I do believe that there are.

Speaker 1 (01:35:57):
Other life forms and star people and star seeds that
live among us.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
I do. I definitely believe in.

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
Aliens, because how arrogant of a human to believe that
you know and and if you believe in God, like,
how arrogant and foolish of you to believe that God
would just make us and just be done.

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
We're not that I.

Speaker 6 (01:36:19):
Created the entire universe, but I only really want to
customize one planet.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
Yeah. But also here's the thing. Humans are not that
fucking cool.

Speaker 6 (01:36:31):
It's like humans, but there's also animals and plants here,
which is all.

Speaker 5 (01:36:35):
But every other place is just like plant plants.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:36:39):
I don't like animals, straight oceans or like rock and nothing.
God was like one friend, that's enough. I'm not that creative.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
I can.

Speaker 1 (01:36:48):
Like, because you you can't say that God is on
the present and omnipotent and he's vast and or she
or however you believe whatever you believe. You can't believe
that God is all knowing all these things, which is
what I believe, and that his imagination or his brain
or his whatever, his creative, his creative gift whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
I don't care what fuck you call it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:15):
Whatever, you can't think that it's just stops at making
the things on this planet.

Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
And don't get me wrong, the things on this planet.

Speaker 1 (01:37:22):
I say that humans are weird or whatever, but human
beings are fucking awesome to be fair, Physiologically, I'm talking
about how we it's incredible how life is created. But
it's also incredible how plants grow. It's incredible how they are.
Animals or animals, mammals that live in the water, that

(01:37:43):
breathe underwater, it's incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:37:45):
Coral reef is fucking so there are.

Speaker 1 (01:37:52):
Dogs are cool because you guys like dogs and cats.
I just thought I would say that just to appease you,
because I do think dogs are kind of cute.

Speaker 5 (01:38:00):
Though, are you pandering?

Speaker 1 (01:38:02):
No, because I do think dogs are cute. I look
at them on the internet. Okay, I just wanted you
guys to feel special because you really like animals, cats
and dogs and stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:38:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:38:13):
The other thing is like, you know, we only see
visible light, but not everything has to exist in visible light.

Speaker 5 (01:38:26):
There could be energies.

Speaker 6 (01:38:27):
That are only infra red or you know, like it's
not all uv visible light. Spectrum that are I see
you could literally be surrounded by people in your apartment
that you can't see it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:36):
Come on, the Taylor, would you say that that's not funny?

Speaker 6 (01:38:44):
Come on, if they're there, they've been their whole life
and they haven't done anything to you yet.

Speaker 5 (01:38:48):
So you know.

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
That was at nice. Take it back.

Speaker 5 (01:38:52):
They're not there. There's no one in your apartment, I promise, Okay,
thank yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:38:57):
But anyway, it's like you can't see them. If if
it's not physical and the visible light like reflecting visible light,
then like we couldn't perceive it anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:39:05):
Yeah, there could.

Speaker 6 (01:39:06):
Be an entire different thing going on in parts of
this universe that we can't even see.

Speaker 5 (01:39:10):
We could be looking right at it and totally.

Speaker 2 (01:39:12):
And not see it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:13):
But that goes back to the you know my little
cousin I told you about that. I said, I think
she's my uncle. The other day, I'm talking to my
cousin and she's outside, I'm talking to her mom on
FaceTime and my little cousin outside playing and she is
looking around. She's you know, she's one, so she's doing
what one year olds do. And then she looks up

(01:39:35):
and she say hi, and I said, my cousin didn't
think anything of it, but you know, me and my
super spiritual incense sage resin praying manifesting. Yeah, I was like,
is she talking to anything, Like what is she looking at?
She said, no, nothing's there, and she turns the camera
to show me.

Speaker 2 (01:39:53):
And I was like, oh, I.

Speaker 1 (01:39:54):
Said, either she is my uncle or she sees him.

Speaker 5 (01:39:59):
Yeah, yeah, she's got some connection going on.

Speaker 1 (01:40:02):
Yeah, or I just think babies do that kind of
stuff all the time, and so do really old people.

Speaker 6 (01:40:09):
If you notice, my grandmother had dementia and her brain
was firing all kinds memories and she'd be like, oh, yeah,
my sister came in here the other day and my
mom was here and we went on a road trip,
and I was like, listen, happened. But she's living, literally
living those memories.

Speaker 1 (01:40:24):
But some of that stuff I think is actually happening.
Maybe we just don't see it, like maybe not the
road trip part because she was in front.

Speaker 5 (01:40:33):
Of you from the other side. Yeah, I believe.

Speaker 1 (01:40:35):
I fundamentally believe that, and I just believe.

Speaker 2 (01:40:39):
I feel like sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:40:41):
People who are super religious, they put these boundaries or
these constraints around God, but then They say that God
is you know, big.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Big big. Well, if God is big, big, big, then
God can do big, big big things.

Speaker 1 (01:41:00):
Make one year old, make it so that one year
olds can see the spirit of their grandpa.

Speaker 6 (01:41:04):
Or their great grand bodies, or created like what you know,
flood the entire earth or whatever it is.

Speaker 5 (01:41:12):
You know, it happened all of.

Speaker 1 (01:41:13):
The things, all of the things, all of the things.

Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
Well that was a lot. Taylors me a little scared.

Speaker 6 (01:41:25):
But I'm just going to all the invisible people who
are not in your apartment.

Speaker 5 (01:41:29):
Yeah, they're your biggest fans.

Speaker 6 (01:41:31):
The only invisible people who choose to be around you
are the people who like you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:34):
You know, that's cool.

Speaker 5 (01:41:35):
They want to hear what you gotta say. They're your
friends and kin. You don't got to be scared, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:41:40):
They're probably my ancestors. I do believe that speak ancestors.
People say spirit guides.

Speaker 6 (01:41:46):
I guess it's not ancestors ancestors. Are they all dead
or does it include living people?

Speaker 2 (01:41:50):
No, ancestors are dead. Elders are living elders.

Speaker 6 (01:41:54):
Well, I have an elder in my presence. My mom
came into town today. Hi Mom, with her and my
nephew and my sister.

Speaker 2 (01:42:01):
Is awesome for her. I'm excited.

Speaker 5 (01:42:03):
Please tell her hello.

Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
We'll tell her. I said hello too. I don't know her,
but tell her. I said that her mama her name,
what's her name? Don't say say her name? On manka
well ed?

Speaker 5 (01:42:13):
Did I already said that? We can?

Speaker 2 (01:42:14):
We can be even telling your mama's name.

Speaker 5 (01:42:19):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
What's your mama's name.

Speaker 4 (01:42:23):
Evan saying your mama's name from Evan is seeing your
mama's name. Evan is saying your mama's name, your name,
mama's name, mama's name. Evan is saying your mama's name.

Speaker 5 (01:42:47):
Slow fade out.

Speaker 2 (01:42:48):
Credit is there? It is.

Speaker 1 (01:43:09):
So friends in can for today straight facts question. It
is coming from Baltimore. I want to give a shout
out because I'm pretty sure that this question came from
one of my cheerleaders, one of my former cheerleaders.

Speaker 2 (01:43:24):
I know it did.

Speaker 1 (01:43:25):
I know her name, and she's describing herself and I
know it's her. But I just want to say before
I get into this question, that I saw some of
my cheerleaders recently over the past month or so, and
some of the things that they said to me kind.

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
Of just warmed my heart.

Speaker 1 (01:43:50):
One of them, two of them, now three of them
listen to my podcast because one of them I told
her about it, and she started listening, and she told
the other woman, and that one told another one, and
now they are listening to my podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:44:04):
And she pulled it up on her phone and was like, see.

Speaker 1 (01:44:06):
I'll be listening, and I am about to cry. But
I cannot even explain the feeling that that gave me, Like,
I can't. I don't have the words for it. You know,
I fucking always got the words for everything. I can

(01:44:28):
always talk, I got something to say. I got to
take my glasses off because I'm crying. I don't even
know how to explain how it made me feel. Of
course there was joy, of course there was pride, But
there's a feeling that that brought me that I just don't,
I swear, I just don't have the fucking words to

(01:44:52):
express how it makes me feel to know that they
are listening to my show. And I text my cousin recently,
my cousin Randall.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
Shout out to my cousin Randall, shout out to my cheerleaders,
my faith for you know who you are. But I
told him.

Speaker 1 (01:45:21):
You know a lot of times you hear people talking
about celebrating wins, and then people say, celebrate small wins.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
Fuck all that. Celebrate all wins.

Speaker 1 (01:45:31):
Every time you win, whether it's small, whether it's grandiose,
whether you know it's just a secret win for you,
something that makes you feel good you celebrated. This for
me is a supreme win. It seems it may seem
like a small win for many people that are listening,
but I'm telling Hi, I'm getting emotional. But for me,

(01:45:51):
it is a huge win. I think because like I know,
I've said this many times for like I don't know
about cheerleading. I mean I do now know quite a
bit about cheerleader. I've been coaching for eight years, but
I didn't start coaching cheer because I like cheerleading. I

(01:46:12):
start started coaching cheer due to a need.

Speaker 2 (01:46:15):
At my school. And I'm still there.

Speaker 1 (01:46:20):
I'm still coaching and it still brings me joy.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
Uh, it still brings me joy.

Speaker 1 (01:46:26):
But these girls were part of the team that it
was like we were I was a teenage mom and
these were my kids, my babies, and we kind of
grew up together. Like they raised me and I raised them,
you know, and to know that even though they have
graduated from high school and I'm not coaching them any longer,

(01:46:49):
to know that they are still like seeking like guidance
for me, and still like.

Speaker 2 (01:47:00):
Like seeking that for me, or still want that for me.

Speaker 1 (01:47:04):
It really really like I feel really warm inside and
like if you could see or if I could see
the inside of me, it's probably glowing like the sun
with sparkles and warm, radiant bright sun rays. Because it

(01:47:25):
is like a full circle moment for me.

Speaker 2 (01:47:29):
I love them and.

Speaker 1 (01:47:31):
They are great. And so now they know I have
a podcast, so now they listen. And so this is
from Takaya, and Takaya says, hey, Mimi, watch it, chick.
Can you help me with something. I'm a twenty one
year old junior in college, and I'm trying to find
some ways to deal with life, as you say, life
be life, and so what are some ways that I

(01:47:54):
can be successful or ways that I can deal with
my mental health battles all while still living in this
crazy world every day. So you are new to this show,
So unless you've gone back and gone through the catalog,
the first thing I'm going to say is that you

(01:48:16):
probably need to seek out professional help from somebody who
is not biased or who is an objective party, somebody
who is going to help you deal with what you're
going through and who can help guide you through that
that is not biased. I couldn't do it for you

(01:48:36):
because I'm biased. So if you tell me something that
somebody did to you, even if you're wrong, because this
is just how I am.

Speaker 2 (01:48:44):
Even if you're wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:48:45):
I'm still going to lean to not being on your side,
but I'm still going to lean to you right and
if I needed to speak out about it, I'm going
to be neutral and defend you. Now behind closed doors,
I would tell you you know you were wrong. You

(01:49:05):
shouldn't do that. But you want somebody who is super neutral.
You want Switzerland, somebody who doesn't have anything invested in
any of the parties involved other than wanting you to
be better or be the best version of yourself that
you can be. So the first thing I'm gonna say
is to get therapy until then, because sometimes finding a

(01:49:29):
therapist and getting a therapist and starting therapeutic services can sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
Take a moment.

Speaker 1 (01:49:34):
The first thing you can do is journal, get a journal,
a pin, and start to write your feelings down and
date them, put the date on them, and that way
you can kind of start to notice your own patterns
and if how you feel. And that's also good to
take with you once you develop, I mean when you

(01:49:54):
once you get a therapist and start to develop therapy
uh rhythm or rhythm with your therapist for visits visits,
take that with you and kind of go over it
with her or him. That would be helpful. Another thing
you can do is take up some mindful activities like

(01:50:15):
yoga or breathwork meditation, and meditation is really hard at first,
but you can try and all of these things. You know,
you have the Googles on your side, so you can
just google like how to meditate, and there are tons
of videos on YouTube apps all kinds of things you

(01:50:39):
can do in the meantime. But the big thing when
you said mental battles or mental health battles, I think
that you should definitely look into seeking out professional therapy
because it is life changing and it could definitely help
you and up some things that you never really knew

(01:51:02):
were there because you had pushed them down for so long,
you know, So that would be where I would start
also spend as much time outside as you can. It's
really helpful. Sit in the sun, soak up some sunlight.
That is very helpful. Those are things that you can

(01:51:22):
do until you can get professional help. Journaling, praying, meditating,
breath work is really helpful, so breathing exercises and meditation
and meditation practices that help with that are that involved movement,

(01:51:46):
so like yoga, even exercising or dance class and spending
time outside. So that that's where I would start, and
if you need help finding a therapist, I will definitely
help you way. So, friends and Ken, for today's we
got to Do Better segment, I decided, of course, I

(01:52:08):
told you for the rest of the season, which is
season four, I'm going to be reading from Black Liturgies
and probably well into season five because I just can't
get enough of this book.

Speaker 2 (01:52:22):
I'm going to read.

Speaker 1 (01:52:23):
I just opened the book and I said, wherever it
lands is what I'm going to read, and I landed
on page one sixty five and this book. If this
is your first time hearing me mention this, you clearly
haven't listened to the past.

Speaker 2 (01:52:36):
I'm going to say.

Speaker 1 (01:52:39):
Eight episodes, because I think I've mentioned it at least
the past six to eight episodes. But I opened the
book and I landed on page one sixty five. The
book is called Black Liturgies, Prayers, Poems and Meditations for
Staying Human by Cole Arthur Riley, who was a badass
young black woman. She's in her thirties. She's dope. Find

(01:53:00):
or on Instagram. Find the book by the book. You
deserve it, and so do all the black people in
your life. So there's a poem and I'm going to
read it, and it's the section on joy. And the
poem is called missing the bus on Purpose. Sitting on
your porch, one leg in sun and one in shade,

(01:53:23):
lights splitting through you like Picasso's face, solving this cryptogram
I made, and laughing how that symbol reminds us of
your mom's bent manora that lets the candles slip out,
But she won't throw it away because the patina reminds

(01:53:43):
her of the empty steel mill when it began to
snow and nothing made sense. And I didn't know how
to ask you to stay, but you did, handing me
the pen with a shiver, And we don't look at
the time, and we're anything but afraid. We know peace

(01:54:04):
when the sky is falling love in your crossed eyes refracting.
That is from page one sixty five of Black Liturgies.
It's called missing the bus on Purpose.

Speaker 2 (01:54:17):
It is a poem.

Speaker 1 (01:54:18):
It is what I was told to share with you,
and so I am. I'm also going to read to
you some quotes that are on page one sixty three,
which are the chapter open ears, Chapter open Ears, Chapter
openers for this section, or the chapter on Joy. And
this is a quote from Nikki Giovanni. It is not
unusual to sift through ashes and find an unburnt picture.

(01:54:44):
And the next quote is from Sojourner Truth shout out
to show John Truth. I don't know what I said.
I was trying to say, so Journer Truth shout out
to so Journer Truth. That's kind of fucking hard to say,
but anyway, so Journer Truth said life is a hard battle. Anyway,

(01:55:06):
if we laugh and sing a little as we fight
the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
And that's a good one, okay. And I hope you
enjoyed it, and I hope you.

Speaker 1 (01:55:17):
Go get this book, like seriously, like if you don't
have this book by now, what are you really doing
go get.

Speaker 2 (01:55:25):
It friends again.

Speaker 1 (01:55:34):
The first thing that I want to do is say
thank you to God first, as I said, because God
is supreme and I recognize and appreciate the grace that
God extends to me every single day of my black
ass life. I want to say thank you to all
of you, every last one of you, every one of you.

Speaker 2 (01:55:55):
To those of you.

Speaker 1 (01:55:56):
That have been here with me since day one, which
was March the first of two thousand twenty. I appreciate
you in a different kind of way because we have longevity,
we got skin in the game. But I also appreciate
people who just started listening last month or last episode.
I'm grateful for you to be here, and I hope

(01:56:17):
that you stay awhile and like my friends who my
friends and Ken excuse me, who have been here since
March of twenty twenty, I hope four years past and
you are still here with me in May of twenty
twenty eight. So I want to say thank you to
my family, thank you to my friends, my friends, and

(01:56:39):

every single one of you guys out there listening. You guys,
