Speaker 2 (03:20):
All right, Karen banter.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
The first thing I wanted to kind of banter about.
Roger got a new organizer for the for the kitchen,
and I actually like it.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Oh you actually like it? Wow?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Thank you? I do.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I'm glad you actually like it.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I didn't know how I was gonna feel it, because.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
You know, I'm so dumb and stupid. It could have
been terrible. You know, so good job. I'm not saying no. Listen,
when you're married to it, sometimes you actually like the
things they do.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
I get it. I did not say that, you know.
And it's one of those things where I had to
understand with Rodrick cooking it things more, He's going to
organize it the way he wants to organize, which is
very understandable. And we have like these little small things

(04:14):
that got kind of mixed up with the lots of things,
and when you go in the door, everything's kind of
blended up together. I got a divided but you know
everything and it said fuck you in your divid So
everything just everywhere in that little drawer. So I do
like because it's out, it's easier to see, easier to
get to. We can put the towels on top. I
was like, I really like this, and I like it

(04:35):
more than I thought I would.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, the organizer is something I got off of Amazon.
Since I'm the one that does most of the cooking,
I try to make it as easy as possible. And
I noticed that one of the things that was frustrating.
And it's one of those little frustrations you don't really
think about, but it's every time I go in the
drawer in the kitchen, there's so many things in now
I'm always searching for it. It's hard to find and shit.

(04:57):
So I bought like an old encounter a couple of
drawers that are like a mesh thing where you can
kind of see in it, and I just put a
lot of the little like utestles I used during cooking.
You know, your your your stuff for assesting, uh, you know,
to get pushed around your you know, your mixers and
stuff like that, you know, and you know, when I

(05:18):
first got it, Karen started trying to move stuff around
in there, and I was like, I cooked, I'll let
me move stuff my last thing a way. Yeah, Like
you don't need to be moving stuff that you don't
even use, So, like, what's the point that you organizing it?
It needs to go where I remember for it to
be right. So, yeah, my car overheated today. I have

(05:43):
no idea what's going on with it. But we did
manage to get home and we managed to get the
car to the shop and it was looking out Yeah,
it was looking kind of wild because like I had
to drive on the highway, uh to take careen somewhere.
And as I'm like, I'm like, man ac doesn't feel

(06:03):
like it's pushing out right.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
That feels weird.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
And then you know, we have older cars and all
that stuff. So I'm like, uh, even though we keep
them up, you know, we paid, you know, we put
out of repairs and stuff and all that, but still
it's like you got an older car. I'm on the
highway and then you know, eventually I'm looking I started
looking at the temperature gage. I'm like, whoa, this engine
is running hot.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
And as somebody who's kind of been through that before,
it was like, hey, it's not raising flags.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah. I was in my car, my oldest car or
one of my older cars, caught on fire. I was
coming home from the gym, going up a hill and
I this was before I even really knew what the
fuck like, I didn't know anything. So I just put
I was pushing the gas pedal down, thinking this will
get me up the hill. And I was really doing
was working my entery too hard and caught on fire,

(06:53):
and so I made sure not to do anything like that.
But yeah, had to stop the car, let it cool off,
and all this stuff. It's just like anxiety inducing because
then it's like, can we make it to the house.
Do I need a car triple A? Is this gonna
take hours? Is this gonna you know, Karen needs to
get back home since you can do work from home stuff.
So it was just like a little bit anxiety and inducing.

(07:15):
But you know, we got home and then we got
the car to the shop up the street. So what
was interesting is when we got the car to the shop,
and this has been happening a lot in the pandemic,
and it's just one of those areas I hadn't thought about,
but I felt like the pandemic sped everything up. The
they didn't have a mechanic at the shop. Now, this

(07:38):
shop is where we normally go, but it seems that
they were bought by another company and so I'm not
everything looks the same on the outside, but there's new employees.
I'm not even sure you know that they're gonna do
the same you know, work and stuff. But I mean,
the car is overheating. It's not like I have a

(07:58):
lot of places I can take it to be here
or like nowhere, And he's like, we don't have a mechanic.
I'm like, you don't have a mechanic, you know what
I like? And I feel like that in the pandemic,
things have just been like that. You go to places
like I like a Burgrant fries. We don't have fries.
We don't have a person that can do that, you know,
we don't have a cook. Yeah, pizza at Pizza Hood

(08:21):
we got sandwiches, like.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
We ain't got no do.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I feel like that's everywhere now and so it was
a bit of a surprise. But we'll see when they
call me tomorrow what the damage is. I hope it's
nothing too major, but who knows. When you got a car,
that's what you're own, you buddy.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
No problem. And also one thing about us, you know,
kind of being older and having cars and kind of
going through those things, we kind of knew what to do,
like right saying what not to do and things like that.
So it made it it was it made it a
little easier to kind of navigate through.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well, I know, stressed out about it's not going to
help any agreed, So it just was no point.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
Agreed.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Something else. I need to start carrying and I've been
saying this, but I don't ever do it. I need
to start carrying a little bit of cash on person
because every now and then I want to do things
that require cash. But I look and I'd be like, oh,
I ain't got no cash, you know, on me and
on person, and so I know Roger's been kind of

(09:23):
get on me, but I don't know. I get in
my brain when it comes to cash because I feel like, hey,
if you take this card, this walleer, everything else, I
can just call and cancel that bitch. You take this cash,
it's gone forever. Child. I get more than twenty five
dollars on me, I mentally I break out to a sweat.
Even though nobody knows it. But mentally, I'm like, no,
somebody ride me. That's it. This money go forgetting the pink,

(09:45):
get get it off of me. It's some mental thing
for me. I can't explain it. I don't know where
it comes from. I just I'm like, no, don't like no,
don't like no, loss some more money on person.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Honestly, if I'm going to get ribbed, I'd rather have
cash that show meaning nothing, because I feel like they're criminals.
It's not like they're gonna be like, oh okay, well
I didn't mean to inconvenience. You let me know when
you get some cash on you, like, they're still gonna
they're still gonna rob you and be more angry. They
ain't get cash. If they had cash, they might just
take the cash and lead the rest alone. I don't know,
but that's true anyway. I mean, I mostly just think

(10:19):
about the conveniences of It's always like, it's always good
to have a little bit of money on you because
you just don't fucking know, and everybody ain't got cards
and beeping things and all this shit and some stuff
you want, you know, it just it's just convenient. But yeah,
I try to keep cash on me, trying to think
was there anything else? I feel like there was something else,
and I'm forgetting what it is. Oh yeah, this has

(10:42):
been happening a lot lately in this Palestine Israel thing,
but it's something that always happens. And I think people
just they don't think about us as black people very often,
so they don't really understand what it's like to be
black in America. But I would really like every marginalized

(11:03):
group that's going through a hard time to stop saying,
imagine if this happened to black people, how much more
people would care and do something about it? Have you
not seen our history in America? They don't do shit
for us, right, you know, like George Floyd wasn't the
last Nigga to be killed by the cops. They still

(11:25):
killing them, They still killing us. There was no like,
you know, all these laws and voting rights restrictions and
shit getting this is all targeting us in America. I
don't know why people think we have some type of
immunity from oppression or like because we advocate the most.
Somehow we've managed to like cross the line to where

(11:49):
we're not oppressed or whenever something bad happens, everyone rallies
behind us. Have you not seen how many people opposed
to us. There's a whole president of the United States
that's definitely president, but because he hated us, Like like
so whenever you see like someone going through a hard
time and it's like, you know, John Leguizamo does this,

(12:09):
where the you know our girl rein of April Apa
Raine started that hashtag Oscar so White And it didn't
say Oscar's not black. It said Oscar's so white, meaning
anybody who's not white could take up that man to
and be like, why is the Oscars not giving to
my people? But instead he turned it into like, well
look at if it was black people. Look, they started

(12:31):
a hashtag for black people. It's like, no, they didn't,
that's not what happened. And I'm you know, the latest
is you now have people that are Jewish or maybe
even Palestinians. It just probably depends on what side of
the algorithm you're on. But like they'll have these videos
where it's like, imagine if this was black people and
it was a college campus, and I'm like, you don't

(12:53):
have to imagine my old Yannopolis was giving speeches at
colleges and shit, they you know, I forget. They bring
in people all the time who are anti black and
just go that's freedom of speech. And if you if
you're one of a handful of black people that happen
to go to school here, too, fucking bad. Freedom of
speech means we get to do if we bring in

(13:14):
somebody to say it's wrong to oppress black people, we
should be able to bring in someone to say it's okay, right.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
And it's very very frustrating, like you said, because it's
one of those things where when you listen, like you say,
it's one of those things where they go, well, black
people aren't the loudest, so obviously you know people listening
to them, and it's like that's not true. And it's

(13:42):
one of those things to where particularly black being here
in America is very frustrating because black people as a total,
we have our own issues in problem with black beers
as a total. When we fight for marginalized people, we
fight for us and everybody else, like it ain't just
a black thing. We're a lot of times we're impacted

(14:03):
most of the time more than any other group. That's
why we fight the loudest and the hardest, and we're
consistently everywhere you know we need to be. But also
some of these other groups. Not trying to be funny,
y'all need to be present too, because a lot of
times everybody looks at us like we're the only voices
and didn't get mad when they go with wye we
in the room. Well, bith nobody nobody said you couldn't come.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Well, I would argue, one, we're not there for everybody else,
We're there for us. Yeah, other people, like other people
might benefit from it as a side effect. Other people
might can join in if they want to, But we
are trying to save our lives in America, and that's
the you know, like if other people benefit from the

(14:43):
fact that hate crimes legislation was passed. Cool, but it's
not like we went there for that purpose. Our lives
are always on the line. It's just always kind of
a weird thing that happens in these you know, when
people people just pull us out of the out of
a bad out of the poke ball and be like,
but black people, And it's like, that's not factual that

(15:05):
black people have it so fucking easy in America and
all we have to do is say, hey, somebody did
me wrong, and then the wills of fucking you know,
justice just always rally behind us. Is like, that's not
that's never been true.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah, And it's very insulting. And it's one of those
things when you look at him. Will you look at
them when they say this, and you go, oh, you
don't pay attention. You don't pay attention to the laws
that they passed specifically target towards black churches. You don't
look at the jerrymandering, you know, you don't look at
things that are passed. Ah, you you just making assumptions
about shit.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I'll say, you're keeping tally right, Like you're right, Like
that's the thing about that. Juliana Margali's interview it felt
like she was saying to herself, but you have had
movements in the past, and even though I didn't really
like them or didn't really care or shouldn't, I didn't
say anything against them. I put up a black square,

(15:58):
and now it's my turn, and no one on paying
me back. And it's like, that is not what I'm
asking for. It's not what a lot of black people
asking for. So it was just something like I said,
I saw reading the video, but I've been seeing so
many of these videos and now that they had this
college campus freedom of speech thing that I was listening
to on the daily, and it was one of those

(16:21):
things where I wasn't really sure what happened at first,
but you know, it becomes obvious what happened now. But
it was one of those things where it was like
I saw someone being like, but if this is black
people and they said some anti black, genocidal shit about
black people on our college campus, how many people? And
I'm like, they have and they do that and nobody

(16:45):
does shit. We be mad. Maybe we organized some type
of march orrout, but it's not like the college campuses
are like whoa, whoa, whoa, You can't do that, like
plenty of people have done, we used, I mean fucking
with black people. A lot of that stuff happen on
college campus is the people. So anyway, that was It's
not funny, but that was my bad.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
My The last one I have is, uh, because of
the transition of us into from a pandemic to an
endemic that we're in now, I'm glad that restaurants are
bringing menus back, because not very funny. When I go
to a restaurant, I don't want to have to look
through my my two inch fucking telephone. I actually wanted

(17:28):
to actually hold a menu and read a menu and
flip through the pages. Maybe because I'm old, I'm like,
I don't want to to open up and have to
do my screens and a lot of those things are there.
They're all over the place in that organized you don't
know what to click and shit like that. Nope, just
I'm glad people I bring about the fucking menus. Thank god.
I agree.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
All right, let's get into some other some other news.
Play some more music. All right, news, news, news, it

(18:23):
is still happening everybody where. Should we start? How about this?
The House votes to formalize Republican impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden,
trying to see if he was connected or profited from
his son Hunter Biden's business deals. The two twenty one

(18:46):
to two twelve party line vote opens the door for
the GOP to get more evidence about schemes that have
been that have seen the Biden family get millions from
the country including China, Ukraine and Romania. Now this is
a right wing magazine and Public just put the point
being they this has been the game plan.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, and it's it's very uh frustrating because trust, don't
you think as many people that scrutinize the president if
there was something going on the ferriers it, it would
have came out way before this. And you're fucking wasting
taxpayers money. And I'm to the conclusion that the GOP

(19:26):
they don't want to run shit. They don't want to
run ship, they don't want to do ship, they don't
want to run ship. They just want to be obstructionists
and and and ship like that. And then not tell
me funny when the country just goes to ship that
you know they're they're gonna claim and it's the Democrats,
Uh did it? Even though they're out here sucking it up.
And then the Democrat A lot of the Democrats yes,

(19:49):
and and and and this is already feel a lot
of the Democrats are very stupid because they far for
that ship ship hook line of sinker and the Republicans
to go, it's Democrat false. They go, yes, Democrat files like, bitch,
what's wrong with you? Ain't you been paying attention? It's
not my fault, it's stay foult. They're sucking it up,
holding bitches accountable. But every time you have a subsection
of a subsection that actually just everything the Republicans say,

(20:14):
they buy it, and you like, are you Republicans, I
don't understand this. Are you paying attention to what's happening
and what's going on? And I've come to the clusion
we taught a prat for a lot of my feelings
about this is coming from place of fear, because I'm like, oh,
you're just being uptuse and stupid on purpose. And my
fear is you doing this will cause them to become

(20:34):
more empower because all y'all together is a big number. Yeah,
I hear you. I think.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
This is just them trying to get simple, get back,
and this is the optics that Republicans are always chasing because
they don't pass actual legislation. They don't plan to govern.
They left all the things about governing on the table,
and they're planning, you know, they're gonna adjourn.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Till next year on the floor.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, they're they're not gonna want to pass a budget
next year, and yet they will find the votes in
the time to be like, let's look into this like
goose Chase, because you're right, they're hoping that the optics
are will be simple enough that people go, you know,
kind of like the stimulus check. They're hoping that some
people will be so dumb that the optics will be like, well,

(21:24):
Trump gave us a stimulus check. I don't know any details.
I don't need to I don't no matter what I'm
being reminded of.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Period.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Just that's it, right, And they're hoping that, well, Joe
Biden also got impeached. So you say Trump was in peach,
but Joe Biden was in peach, So what does it mean.
It means nothing to be impeached, you know, And I
think that's what they're really hoping for. And it's fucking
sad that you're right that it'll work. On some people.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, And the thing is that they love low informed voters.
And a lot of those people that say that they're
very low informed, they're not informed at all. They're not looking,
they don't want to be educated on it. And they
just say shit. Because if you sit here and look
me in my face and say, but the stimulus check, bitch,
your tax money went to go you were old that money.

(22:11):
That money was old to you, regardless of who the
president was. You put in on it, they giving it
back to you. And the thing is that is a
drop in the bucket compared to the other fuck shit
that you had to put up with to get that
goddamn check.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, and they're just I mean, they're just hoping for
something to try to get Joe Biden. This Hunter Biden
shit is just I mean, it's so popu political and targeted.
It's everything they accused Democrats of being, everything they accused
Joe Biden of being, except you know, when they get power,
they really do these things. Donald Trump is selling pieces

(22:46):
of his suit warrant to this Georgia booking. This motherfucker
is like the Elvis commemorative plates of politics, like just
like anything for a grift. And the sad part is
some people are gonna earnestly give this man money.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yes for this.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
For four thousand, six hundred and fifty three dollars, supporters
get a small bit of fabric from the garments along
with forty seven NFT digital training cards.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Future, how do you even know it's from the fucking
garment itself. I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
I wouldn't put it past them to just be like
literally giving people any fucking suit, any piece of cloth. Yes, sir,
you know. They also get forty seven NFT digital training
cards featuring the seventy seven year old politician, plus the
opportunity to dine with him at Marlago. According to get
Trump Cards promotional website, I feel like, of all the

(23:41):
things that are gonna happen, you giving him money will happen.
You getting something some fabric from some will happen. The
digital you'll get the NFT cards that will happen you might.
I feel like the dinner might not happen.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Oh, they're probably claiming they picked somebody on nobody right.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Trump debuted as mugshot edition of the cars on Tuesday.
They feature renderings of it the former president as a
cyborg a cowboy and a superhero, care and swords and shills.
The cars sell for ninety nine dollars each. They're just
being grifted. It's a shame. It's also like the rose

(24:21):
colored glasses of white supremacy are so interesting to me
because they do not love Trump as he is. They
love Trump the idea, you know, the idea of whiteness
and white supremacy and this dominance to yesteryear, before black
people wanted things and before women had the rights to

(24:45):
choose and stuff like.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
That's how they treat it.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
And that's why you see like these Superman posters and
fucking like shirtless like photoshop pictures of his head on
he Man or something, And I'm like that, that's we
live in this country. Like a certain amount of people
in this country quote unquote believe in that, you know

(25:08):
what I mean, Like they really think that that, Like
they don't think that's weird at all. When I voted
for Obama, I think Obama is the best president of
my lifetime, possibly best ever. Right, I ain't walking around
with like his head superimposed on like you know, a

(25:28):
bodybuilder's body, because that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Right, And I don't and a lot of them worship
him like a god. A lot of that. I don't
need him to be a king.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
I know.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
I actually thought the memes and stuff for him looking
like a rapper and stuff, a lot of those memes
are racist and created by Republicans to be like this was.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Really in the White House.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
They they even their memes they had of like Michelle
Obama and stuff and trying to make.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Her ugly and an ape.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
And you had these women that look like fucking Sasquatches
in West Virginia talking about Michelle Obama being ugly, and
You're like, what what is this that you're able to?
The delusion you see the world with is so insane
to me. We are not existing in the same reality.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
No we're not.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
But people are going to buy this or you know,
and maybe this is a grift even on another level
where there'll be like organizations buying this pretending to be
people whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
The flood is coughers, yep. And to help him pay
all these cases.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Right, he wore a blue suit while being booked on
thirteen felony charges. There's people that will buy the suit
but not believe in the thirteen felony charges. This is
all fake except for the suit. Oh man, But yeah,
that's a Republicans up to today. Oprah, she was at

(26:51):
the Color Purple screening.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
I believe purple dress right, she did.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
She always looks though, I mean, honestly, she's.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yes, I mean, I mean she Oprah.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, she's Oprah. I haven't seen a look from Oprah since,
like back when she first started TV and they used
to not know how to do black women's makeup. That's
the last time I've seen Oprah looking you know, she.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Got them together. Go no, y'all not gonna get me
looking crazy on TV.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
So anyway, she's lost weight and people have really been
commenting on it, you know, And so she said it
was a public sport to make fun of me. For
twenty five years, I've been blamed in Shane, and I
blamed in Shane myself. One particularly painful experience of her
early in her career, when she found herself listed by

(27:39):
the sharp tongue fashion critic mister Blackwell. I was on
the cover some magazine that said dumpy, frumpy and downright lumpy,
she recalled. I didn't feel angry, I felt sad, I
felt hurt. I swallowed that shame I accepted that it
was my fault. Wiffrey said she has gained a more
practical grasp on maintaining a healthy way in the long run,
is determined to eliminate any feelings of shit. Additionally, she's

(28:01):
adopted and that's something honestly, I struggle with that too,
And it's something that I think is interesting because I
kind of came to this like epiphany very recently. It's
kind of stupid. Most people probably already feel this way,
but I was like, it's my body, and if I
want to lose weight, that's on me too. Like it's
it's okay for it's your body's like a tool, it's

(28:22):
like a thing you live in. It's like a ship,
it's like a car. However you want to if you
if you want, however you want your body to show
up in the world.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
If that's what you want, that's what you want.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
If it's not coming from a bad place, a negative place,
that self, that negative voice, then it's fine, you know.
And just like your body works like an equation, right,
like a car AND's oil and gas or do this,
you know, depending on how many calories you consume, depending
on how much you put out, depending on what kind
of food you that's up to you, and it's really

(28:53):
not anybody's fucking business, you know, So as long as
you're not saying or doing no hateful shit, you know,
you should be allowed to, you know, feel how you
feel and do what you want to do. And I
think you know, it's such a like I said, most
people probably already fucking know that, but you know, sometimes
I'll be late to the party.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Oh and I think you know, for some people, they
have been, and it's kind of a privilege, a privilege
you go through their lives and not really have to
worry about weight. And so for them, a lot of them,
not all of them, a lot of them, it's hard
to imagine. They don't understand. They're very quick to judge,
and they think it's something morally wrong with you if

(29:32):
you are a certain size or a certain weight and
all that shit. But you know, when you've never had
to struggle with your weight going up, what's your weight
going down? What you're trying all types of it, dies
and the exercises and the apps and the medicine.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
She's publicly talked about that and publicly taken like a
hit for that. So she basically said that she adopted
a comprehensive approach that includes consistent exercise and other lifestyle adjustments,
and corporate weight loss medication into a routine. After knee surgery,
I started hiking and setting new distance goals each week.

(30:05):
I could eventually hike three to five miles, eat every day,
and ten miles straight up hike on weekends. I felt stronger,
more fit, more live than I felt in years. I'd
I'd eat my last meal at four o'clock, drink a
gallon of water a day, use a weight Watchers principles
accounting points. I had an awareness of weight loss medications,
but felt I had to prove I had the willpower
to do it. I now longer no longer feel that way.

(30:26):
I realized I've been blaming myself all these years for
being overweight, and I have a predisposition that no amount
of willpower is going to control OBEC. Is a disease
not about willpower, It's about the brain. Nevertheless, she acknowledged
the attention surrounding the rods popularity the weight loss medications,
like with Govios, Impact and Mujarro. It's always interesting that
they call those weight loss medications because they actually are

(30:48):
supposed to be like diabetes management medifications. But people think,
you know, it's a side effect, but it's really what
is making these shits sell out, is what's making insurance
compani stop covering them and all that stuff. However, she emphasized,
these medications have not been a miraculous carele or the
soul solution or journey. I now use that as I
feel I need it as a tool to manage, not

(31:09):
yo yoing. The fact that there's a medically approved prescription
for manager wait and staying healthier in my lifetime feels
like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something
to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for. I'm
absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself.
I think that's also interesting because this is probably the
best ad for these medications they're ever gonna gets over

(31:31):
coming out, So you know, maybe you know the conspiracy
is you know this is just an ad, But I mean,
I also kind of do understand what she's saying in
that there's been a lot of shaming about people as
they're losing weight the last couple of years with these
medications out here in the world because people basically been
like on some you should that doesn't count as real
weight loss, or oh you just use that medicine, or

(31:53):
if someone just loses weight and we don't know how
they go this because.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
They were on some of these medicines and.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
There's a shame, yeah, and aim that's attached to them.
It's not like they're saying that in a good way.
They're saying that like you shouldn't have done it that way.
You you somehow fucked up, which I think is interesting
And it's dope to see somebody like talk about that
stuff out loud in public, and you know, with it
being open, is somebody really you know people will come
for her, but it's somebody that you know, people hold

(32:19):
the highest.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Tent, right And it is also one of those things
to where you have to be comfortable in your own skin,
that's in regardless of your weight. And so that's that's
very hard for people to do. And you have to
accept that people are gonna view you however they're going
to view you, and there's nothing you can say and
or do to change their minds because a lot of times,
particularly when it comes to talking about heavier people, people

(32:43):
are talking from a projection from within themselves. They have
something going on and in their mind go, I could
ever be fat, I can never be this, I can
never be that. So but they don't know how to
channel that or how to address that, or they've never
got to the root cause of the problem that makes
them feel like that, so they consistently project that out
to other people around them. Because as a child, that

(33:07):
was heavy as a child, and like my weight, yo,
yo dog, I've been through that where you know, you
feel sad, you feel the press you lose, the weight,
you gain, the weight, you lose, the weight, you gain
the weight. It's all over the place. Some people even
get you know, surgeries to you know, reduce the size
of their stomach and all that type of stuff. And
it's one of those things where if you choose to

(33:28):
do that, that's fine, But some people do it because
of the pressures of things around them versus it's something
not to have fun that they truly want to do
because it's something that would make them happy. Because and
there is a difference to.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Me, yeah and I do yeah, because I think I
think most people engage with it from the pressure of
people around them. I think that's how most people if
you you know, if you listen to the way people
talk about way, it's literally a lot of people's biggest
fear to be seen and ostracized because we don't feel
that way about many other things that are possibly even

(34:04):
more debilitating and unhealthy, you know, like smoking or something
like that. People don't like, we don't come down on
you the same way. Like people might say something like
I wouldn't dat a smoker, but like there's not a
physical like, uh, a smoker's in here, you know, there's
no I had to sit next to a smoker on
the plane. But if someone's fat, there's like jokes and

(34:25):
all this shit. But yeah, it's just interesting to hear
like someone like Oprah, who we know has dealt with
a lot of shame about this and been shamed by
a lot of people, go, yeah, I'm not ashamed of
this right.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
And I'm glad because a lot of people they never
get that epiphany, they never get to that point in
their lives where they're like fucket. And the thing is
the people that do say fuck it, I'm happy at
whatever size I am. They're called brave if for a
lot of them they're like, I'm just living my life,
Liza was a primis nimple For that, they're called brave,
they're called bold, and you know, for them, they're like, hey, like,

(35:00):
I understand, you know your quote unquote heaping is upon
me because of your personal insecurities. But I'm just trying
to live my best life and I just happen to
be of a certain size, right But I'm getting praised.
Its just doing normal shit.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
It says something that we know our society is a
place where it requires bravery to be yourself and not
fit into certain archetypes. And I know what people are
trying to say, and I know it comes from a
good place, so I never really like push back too
hard on it. But you know what they're really saying is,
I'm agreeing with you that our society is fucked up. Yes,

(35:35):
so you as a dark skinned black woman, to be
out here loving yourself and you know, breaking all these
like stereotypes people have for you, You're so brave. It's like,
I don't know how to tell you this. I'm just
existing in my skin. I didn't wake up and feel
like I'm going to war this morning. But I but
I hear what you're saying because you're acknowledging it's a
war out here that I didn't volunteer to be in,

(35:56):
so me just showing up being happy is a fight
that really I shouldn't have to take on.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Agreed, agreed, and you know, and it's also, you know,
one of those things where for some people it comes
from a place where I wish I could be as
bold and as brave as you. So they're kind of
rooting you go on to kind of be their avatar,
you know, instead of just embracing themselves and going, I
can do it too if I choose to a opt to,
but I'm you know, opting not to, which is you know,

(36:24):
because you have to get up your own insecurities.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
It's also just a way to like keep shaving people,
because that's what that's what all this so zipic hate is.
It's really be going people going you're fat, you should
lose weight. Okay, well I'm taking a drug. Not that way,
you know, like I want to see you sweat, bitch,
get out there and run like it's you know, get
show me some pictures of some salad. Bitch you're like
that that's out.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yeah, And if you know, somebody turns around and said, well,
just kiss my ass, dack, like that's something wrong with
you for just telling them it don't matter, stay out
my business.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
And I ever forward march backwards to the nineties crime,
a new milestone has been reached. Today, America's Most Wanted
is gonna return. It'll be hosted by John Walsh and
his son Callahan.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Ain't got the original person, Yeah, John Walsh, what that
shit used to be every fuckingwhere, like before the Internet.
That's how everybody got their shit.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yeah. Now of course he's you know, why Sway?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Why? Of course? I mean how I'm sorry, why how Sway? So?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Of course John Walsh and America's Most Wanted In retrospect,
it's kind of like cops, you know, cop aganda and stuff.
It creates this panic of someone's gonna kidnap you, someone's
on the loose. You don't want being scared of your neighbor.
And it was a major, big TV back then, all
those reenactments and stuff. I mean, it was up there
with Cops as far as nineteen eighties TV that I

(37:50):
grew up with that made you feel like the whole
world was scary and we needed to pass all the
laws and lock everybody up right, And I.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Think that.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
This returning or people feeling like it's time for it
to return, just goes back to what I was saying about,
like we're heading back towards the era of pind people
are gonna be begging for some type of crime built
stuff even though we do not have the evidence or
the data to back it up. If anything, we have
the evidence and the data to prove that we don't

(38:21):
need to do it. It is lower than it was,
but it just I don't think it really fucking matters
to people.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yeah, because people get panic and they fear in all
logic just kinds of goes out the window. And I
understand the panic and the fear and things like that,
because you know, being black in America, odds for most
of us, odds of us getting shot by the please
it's really really really low, like odds of most of us.

(38:50):
But because we've been traumatized so much and we've seen
it so much, we've seen the death, we see the brutality,
it puts a panic over you where you feel like
any interaction that you have could just go awry and
you know, or either you could just you could just
end in death. And there's nothing anybody can say to
you to change your mind, because this is something you believe,

(39:13):
because this is what the U United States, the messages
that you're receiving.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Also, wonder how much of this is like because the
rise of like true crime and podcasting, the rise of
like social media is like, no one's paying attention to
this missing person and that missing person. And because that's
really what this was before that, I wonder two things. One,
how much of this is them trying to meet the
moment of like, oh now it's time to strike while

(39:39):
the iron's hot everybody's back to being paranoid about crime,
And how much of this is going to be hard
to pull off and it won't be the national sensation
that used to be because we're already doing this everywhere.
Ye like every you know, like I said, podcast, every
social media, every website like we are are constantly on

(40:01):
the missing person alert.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
You know what happened?

Speaker 2 (40:04):
People have made so many true crime versions of TV
shows like this at this point, I do wonder if
it'll catch on like.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
It used to, and I don't. I think in the
age of the Internet it's gonna be very hard because
then it was like when the top rated shows because
you didn't have These are the avenues of kind of
your only source. And also, in my opinion, they also
are striking because of the fear of white people, Like
white people have literally put this fear out there and
they go with Ay, we can capitalize on these white

(40:33):
ring right wing folks. It's in the panic, all the
you know, the Fox News, all those people. We can
siphon off with some of them because this is the
ship today that they love, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic panting.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
I also feel like we're more aware of like copaganda
and shit now than we used to be. Yes, Yeah,
so I feel like we kind of know a little
bit more. Maybe people won't watch it because of that,
but we'll see. I heard those cop shows that were
still like huge hits, you know, not too long ago.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
They are people still watch that shit.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yeah. Joe to Ce is throwing the Ultimate Vegas after Party.
They are the four original members Casey, Jojo Devonte, Swinging,
Mister Darvin A'll Still Live. Will be at the House
of Blues Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort uh in

(41:28):
twenty twenty four through throughout March and July. Shout out
the Usher because Usher got all the R and B
motherfuckers doing these Vegas. VEGASIDENTC is coming up next year.
I've seen so many people. Bruno Mars is doing one, Like,
so many people are doing them now. The thing is
it felt like before this you just go there to

(41:49):
see Usher. But I'm wonder what's gonna happen when it's
like fucking eight groups, Like, is anyone gonna be able
to corner the market if every R and B, like
motherfucker's just bringing mack groups that ain't even like wasn't
even popping like that, not saying Jodysy wasn't. But I'm
saying it's gonna get down to.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Like next they gotta combined them and like doing a
tour Reddit reddit reddit residency tour residency is that a thing?
I think?

Speaker 2 (42:16):
I thought residency means you stay, it's just one person.
Oh oh, I see what you mean. It's gonna be
multiple acts.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
Yeah, because you when you normally it's Usher, it's Madonna.
But eventually it's gonna have to be like, hey, all
all eight of us get put it off burselves. So
let's do a residentency with just with just eight of us. Here,
you do two nights. We do two nights. We're rotated
around for a BAF and you know, if it pops,
well you know we can extend it.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens with them,
because you know, that's a name, that's a group I
didn't know would get together. Also, like, uh, the last
few times we've seen like k C, it's been like.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Real touch and go, it's what you're gonna get.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
But I guess New Addition tour with Bobby Brown and
it was similar like when we saw Bob Brown before that,
we were like, is he gonna make it through a tour?

Speaker 3 (43:07):
So he did.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Though, speaking of R and B, John B the R
and B.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Artist, listen to what people say.

Speaker 2 (43:16):

Okay, Oh he didn't he know he already invited.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Okay, Karen said he already was invited to the cookout.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yes, somebody going invite him because the song I just
sung Somebody Aunted is swaying right now to that.

Then welcome to Welcome to the Cookout. Welcome to Welcome

(44:17):
to That's right, y'all's time.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
For our segment, Welcome to the Cookout, where we reward
white people for doing the least by giving them the most,
hugging our arms around them as black people and saying,
come on in, you want to us, now have a plate.
What's starting the day is Welcome to the Cookout segment
with John B. John B reveals he has never received

(44:43):
any royalties from his music.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Wow, I did not know that. Can't think of anything
blacker than that.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Ain't that the truth? I mean, damn put them up
there with the likes of Grandmaster.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Old school rappers, right, put them up there with Fox
the Deal for real.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Damn never And this motherfucker song was his songs was

account because they are not giving him money?

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Okay, times I playing that ship girl? This all right? Right?

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Uh? Yes? He was on Joe Budden's podcast and said
that he hadn't been paid for his records. So yeah,
he said he hadn't been paid for any of his records.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
What kind of deals did he sign? Are you?

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Yeah, he admitted that he was signed to a bad
record deal when he signed with Babyface's personal Edmonds record group,
but the producer immediately rejected the claim, saying I find
it really saddening the John would let someone run with
this narrative. Just gonna say that John was never signed
to me personally or my label. All I did was
write songs to try to help elsewhere. In the interview,
the singer said he wrote one hundred percent of his

(46:09):
records and while he gets some kind of publishing province's
not what it needs to be. John went on to
say it was a fine print of his deal that
caused the mess, but now he's hopeful that everything will
come full circle. Mm hmm. You just want somebody to
love you, that's all. But yeah, welcome to the cookout.

(46:31):
You know, getting done wrong in a shady business deal,
that's that's one way to to to definitely find an invite.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Shah. Yeah, he gonna be on somebody's slow dam at
the cookout. Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
All right, let's get to the next person that's coming
to the cookout, Ryan Reynolds. Okay, Ryan Reynolds says he
and Blake Lively will always be unreservedly sorry for their
plantation wedding. And what can I say? I had the
plantation pineapple yesterday. I guess we gotta let it go.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
That shit was so good.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
What we saw at the time was a wedding venue
on Pinterest. What we saw at there was a place
built on devastating tragedy.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
Okay, someone's done the reading, somebody educated him. Okay, he
trying to sell you mint mobiles, so.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Child, he's like, mmm uh, he said. If something will
always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for, it's impossible to reconcile.
What we saw at the time was a wedding venue
on pinterist. What we saw after there was a place
built upon devastating tragedy years ago. We got married again
at home. But shamee works in weird ways. A giant
fucking mistake like that can either cause you to shut
down or can reframe things and make you move it

(47:53):
move you into action. It doesn't mean you won't fuck
up again, But repatterning and challenging lifelong social conditioning is job.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
That doesn't end. Come on through. I like that Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Last week we contributed two hundred thousand dollars to the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund. We stand in all this organization

the start. We also pledged to stay educated and vote
in every local election. We want to know the positions
of the school board nominees, shriffes, mayors, council persons. We
want to know their positions on justice. But mainly we

(48:27):
want to use our privilege and platform to be an
ally and to play a part and easing the pay
for so many who feel as though this grand experiment
is failing them. Linking the BIO to the NAACP Legal
Defense Fund, there are petitions to sign representatives of call
money to be donated, costs to action, or simply information

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Like we got the audio too of him uh saying
he's a great man and he needs her to be
like Corretta, and and like nothing new was unveiled in there,
but it was definitely like you know, uh, it's like salacious,

(51:52):
even though you knew what was happening, Like people knew like,
oh yeah, yeah, this video exists, but it was something
about the fact that that it was him and we're
hearing it that made people start sharing it again to
be like this motherfucker is crazy or whatever.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
And it's weird because they're saying like it's TMZ.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
So I'm guessing it wasn't like played in the courtroom. Again,
I'm guessing that, like why would the defense do that?
But at any rate, so they had that that audio
it's like two minutes long and the audio is kind
of kind of low. But I'll try to play it
for y'all. Let me pull it up on Twitter. And
it's also long, so I won't play all of it.

(52:34):
It's like two minutes, but I don't even know how
good the audio sound is.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
Period, this is a period. Do you understand that?

Speaker 8 (52:43):
Yeah? Do you really got?

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Do you really? Yes?

Speaker 4 (52:47):
Then?

Speaker 3 (52:47):
How dare you come home drop and disturb the piece
of our house?

Speaker 2 (52:50):
When we have a plan.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
I would like to get to the points where your
friends know what job I'm home and go.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
I think Grace's gonna be as a mission.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
I mean yeah, I won't like do.

Speaker 3 (53:07):
You understand that?

Speaker 6 (53:08):
Because because that team that union, right, Grice has to
be a certain mindset to appoint Correta Scott King.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
Do you know who that is? That's marm lu King's wife.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Okay, number one? I feel like that you know what
that is?

Speaker 3 (53:23):
Is funny? You know who that is?

Speaker 2 (53:26):
It's because if it was a black woman, I feel
like zero people will ask do you know who that is?
That's true, but he's dating wife crying, he's mad, but
he also has to be yeah, because song he's been
yelling at her because remember it was like she has
someone over to the house. But he's trying to focus
on some role that he has, and you know, he
feels like she should be in the house at a

(53:47):
certain time and and everything, you know, because he's this
is so important, but that you know who that is?
It's hilarious to me because like, who the fuck don't
know CORRETTA Scott King is? And I'm like, oh, maybe
him and his white lady. I have never really had
talks about this or really maybe you know, maybe.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
People don't they just be dang, people don't be having
these conversations that need to be had. Certainly if y'all
not the same race.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Yeah, certain cultural touchstones kind of matter. I find it
hard to believe anyone wouldn't know that. But what do
I know what?

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Corret Scot you know who that is?

Speaker 6 (54:19):
That's Martin Luther King's wife, Michelle Obama Breack Obama's life.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
I know I'm not I shouldn't have gone out.

Speaker 6 (54:29):
Let me just play it out for you, right, If
I am, I'm just gonna say this my temper, my ship,
my travel, bah blah, all that all that said, right,
And I'm not saying I'm a great man, a great man.
I am doing great.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
Things not just for me, but for my for my culture.
It's for the world.

Speaker 6 (54:53):
That is actually the position I'm in. That's real. I'm
not even think about it. I didn't ask for it.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
I've worked.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
That's that's wild.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
So the stuff that was really yeah, because it's voice.
Adding the voice to it just makes it sound completely different.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Yeah, well it sounded like this in my head the
whole time. But yeah, it's just I mean, that's already
kind of ridiculous thing to say anyway, But then this happened. Uh,
the video of the altercation that the at the in
the car came out. There's surveillance video from many different
angles from street surveillance.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
And this is in New York, right, Yeah, so CCTV essentially.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Now, what I think was weird is that the person
who shared it said Jonathan Major was running like Prianberry Sanders.
And then I saw a bunch of people that seemed
to otherwise try to take stuff like this seriously, and
they had a lot of jokes. And I didn't even
talk about it on Twitter because I said, Twitter is
not a good place to talk about this, because this
is a place where it's jokes and shade and everything's funny.

(55:55):
And I think on a couple of levels, it's interesting
because one it video is basically him running from this
woman for three minutes. There's an initial altercation where he
tries to she is grabbing on to him, and you
see him like push her into the car, but at
least from my point of view, it seems that he's
pushing her in the car to say get off of

(56:16):
me and try to run away. And then there's allegation
that she uh like the the bruises on her hand,
and and he's there. He's saying it came from her
hitting him, not him doing anything to her. But I'll
play the video because it's honestly not graphic or violent

(56:39):
in that way.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
It's mostly him running.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
But the second part I was gonna point out it
then becomes jokes about look at this big man running
from this woman, because all of a sudden, if the
abuse is going the other way, it's ha ha ha.
You're a man running from a woman, and I'm like,
no one's treating it seriously, you know. And I think
there's a lot of people that think, like, well, this

(57:02):
exonerates him and he'll he'll be fine now, And I
don't know that that's gonna happen. As I said earlier,
the text messages that confirm the stuff he did the
year before this in September twenty twenty two, those are
pretty damning. Without this that this night of in March
could completely be her lying, and it still would be

(57:24):
damning that he has text messages being like, don't go
to the hospital for that head injury that I'm responsible for,
because people are going to like talk and I'm gonna
get in trouble. And I don't think you'll lie to
the people so that I'll be protected. You won't protect us.
That doesn't look good, even if this is better for him.

(57:45):
You know, there's no sound here, so you have to
almost be watching live with us. But yeah, that's the
I think the van or the car they were in
and there starts to be like an altercation or whatever.
What you can't see yet, that's him getting out that's

(58:07):
him lifting her up and putting her back into the
car in what seems to be like him trying to
like make her stay in the car while he runs away.
You never see him swing on her or anything like that.
He gets out the car, she still follows him. She's
grabbing him. He literally tries to yank himself away and
run away. Uh, pushes her off a little bit of him.

(58:30):
It tries to tries to get get away, like it
does seem like this whole thing was him trying to
get away, like and it goes further, like you'll see
him literally like there's so many angles. He's running down
the street, you know, yards ahead of her, like it's she.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Is pursuing him at this point. So oh he's been
running for a hot minute.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Yeah, and so you know it's Twitter. So it's like
a lot of Joe you look like Barry Sanders and
you know that boy was running what what what you know?

Speaker 3 (58:59):
But that long enough I probably could be like I
know what that say.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
And like I said, I saw people kind of like
they can we can't help if people just want to
make jokes about it, even though you know, up until
this point they have been very very fucking serious about
this whole thing. So maybe it's the idea that cameras
ever passing all the city bikes. Yeah, like maybe it's
the the eyes little Carris doing it. So maybe it's
the idea of like, well, it's a woman pursuing a man,

(59:24):
so he's not in danger in that way for real.
So it's just funny. It's opposed to it being like, damn,
this is like a serious thing.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
Oh yeah, it is a serious thing.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
No, it's too like you did you think? Don't everyone
did it the city bikes? I know everyone got jokes.
It's the tone of the coverage. It's jokes. I'm not
I'm not mad, it's just what it is. I'm saying
it as facts. People, for the most part, any time
a man is a victim of something, it's more like
a ha ha, because we don't consider them to truly

(59:56):
be in danger. Uh. He comes back up the blocks,
he's talking to some people. He doesn't seem like he's
trying to engage her, and then she, you know, almost
seem like she's the one who's embarrassed or like I
can't believe you're being ridiculous and not wanting to talk
to me.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
You know, now, as a person that's watched a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Of Cheaters, the TV show, this does kind of looks
like the reaction that a lot of people have on
Cheaters when they get busted cheating, where they become like,
I'm so offended that you busted me cheating. I'm running
away and I'm I'm I can't believe you. And you know,
the thing is, supposedly she saw text meges on his
phone from another woman that you know, alludes to him,

(01:00:42):
you know, possibly cheating on her, and this was the
out fallout from that. So I could see that, but
obviously on speculating, no one's ever gonna know what truly happened.
But I guess, you know, between the driver saying I
never saw any like him hitting her, between this video
evidence of him literally running away from her not hitting her,
I now see why he thought I'll go to trial

(01:01:05):
over this, because this is enough evidence that at least
makes it not cut and dry to where it's like, oh,
he be her and you gotta go to jail. Like
even with those text messages and stuff, like you said,
if his lawyers were able to somehow get those text
messages to not be allowed in court, and then all

(01:01:25):
we had was this footage from that night.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
He would be working that Marvel right now. Yes, that's
why they felt too finiled. It was like, no, that's irrelevant.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Yeah, but yeah, with the text messages, the voice recording
and all that stuff, I think he's still gonna end
up taking a hit for this, and I don't know
what it'll mean for his career. I don't know that
he'll actually be found guilty of anything in this because,
like I said, looking at it, what happened that night
doesn't really seem to be just open and shut case.

(01:01:57):
The other thing that I find interesting remember when Rolling
Stone was looking into this and all the speculation before
the trial, there was this period of time where they
were like, oh, all these other women are gonna come
forward and talk about him. Well, they're wrapping up arguments tomorrow.
Those there was never any other like women witnesses, whether

(01:02:19):
it was ex girlfriends, people that worked with him on
the set of something. It's interesting because like that was
definitely put in the media as like a this man
has a pattern and this is all gonna be exposed,
and it doesn't seem that it was at.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Yeah, well, I mean tomorrow's closing arguments.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
How the fuck is it gonna happen then, you know,
because this was the time to go on the record
in the courtroom and.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
Be like, hey, oh yes, yeah, it never happened.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
So I think that's interesting. But yeah, that's that's where
we are with the Jonathan Major's trial. People were hitting
me up to see if I you know, like, did
you hear about it? Yes, we heard about it. Gods
of course you heard about it. All right, let's go
to a different segment. We haven't done this in a while.
I keep forgetting.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
We are going to war.

Speaker 8 (01:03:15):
On out socks, went on out socks, gender wars, guys,
been a minute, you know, I didn't forget about y'all,
but I've been collecting them.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
I just hadn't felt like, you know, we just haven't
had time to talk about them all. Here's one. Remember,
we're not getting caught up and couldn't be me. We're
not getting caught up in who won, who's right women
and men. We're just judging the content from I believe
it was zero to ten yes on what on how

(01:03:51):
good the gender war content is in this case, we're
supposed to believe a dude woke up from anesthesia and
started revealing his deepest, darkest secrets to his wife. She
just happened to be recording on her phone, caught it,
posted to social media for us all to fight about.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
Total coincidence.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
You know how y'all be doing that sometimes your love
when it's in a deep fucking coma, they start coming
to and the first thing you do pull out your
phone to record it and hope they say some deep
dark secrets.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
Let's see, a couple of days.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Ago, I had a threesome a couple of days ago.
Now here's my question, Karen, Already I got a questions.
Is this man really in the hospital for something for real?
Or have they set up like the set of something
to look like a hospital. Do they work at a hospital?
And now when they break they film skits like how

(01:04:47):
did this happen? Because I do see the IV drip.
They have the TV mounting on the wall. It kind
of looks like a hospital building seling, but kind of
Now there's a lot of stuff blank on the walls too,
that's kind of missing. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
Yeah, And as somebody who has been in UH hospital
before and has been patients in the hospital, odds of
the TV being up into the right. Holo. A lot
of times the TV is like at the foot of
the bed. Like I'm not trying to be funny for
the patient to see they're at the foot of the bed,

(01:05:20):
because you know, you have patience. They might not be
able to look up into the left and look up
into the right, you know, to see the TV and
and and the TVs ain't there for us. The TV
is there for them, you know what I mean, for
the person that's gonna be there the longest.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Yeah, that's interesting that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
I'm sorry I said. That's just something you know that
I'm just kind of, you know, observing in and looking
at this ivy thing. Where's the box? It's normally like
a little box on that pole, not trying to me
funded and it's normally I don't know where it is.
But that's too much of a poll for you know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Maybe that'll be exposed later the video, but fis we
don't see that, no, y'all, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
Know I'm talking about the box that monitors everything and
tells them what's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:06:06):
I have three soon a couple of days ago, and
it was great, What the fuck are you talking?

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
About you know what I mean, I'm not even sure
that that's a hospital.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
Bet she look at the sheet on it like a
regular comforter. That's not a hospital, big, because that's not
hospitals are not hospital sheets. And why he looked like
he got a bottlevart on one of them things like
la clava. Yes, it is like he put it and
it just covered his whole face up. I think that
medicine got you loose and eating. I'm talking out your
mind or something. I know what I'm talking about. You

(01:06:45):
just stupid? Then why I love you? Is you?

Speaker 7 (01:06:49):
You stupid?

Speaker 8 (01:06:50):
You believe anything?

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Let's say, did they give them truth serum? How has
this never been documented in medical history before where somebody
goes on there anesthesia and they just start just saying
I feel like that would be a well known side effect,
like hey, hey, don't go on into anesthesia.

Speaker 7 (01:07:07):
You got a side ject, you know, uncheated or you
so many times, so many times, I'm so let me
ask you this.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
Last night when you said he was going to work,
where was you at?

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
I was at my bag of mama house?

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
How was he so responsive too?

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
Like they're really basically having a Conversation's eyes are just.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
Closed, right, and he just talking really slow. And you
know something else, I realized, Like I said, I've been
to enough hospitals. Where is the IVY bag itself? Like
I see like the cords. Yeah, I wondered, I might
be up here, I'm circling this. This might be it,
and the angle might be from the side. But yeah,

(01:07:55):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
I can't tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
It's like a bag that you know what every day. Yeah,
and on top of that, I've been in the hospitals.
They normally only use white sheets.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I noticed that with the comforter.
Maybe they brought one from home to make them more.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
Comfortable, trying to help them.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
I didn't know you could bring it from I didn't
know either, but maybe that's what they did. Maybe he's
been in there so long. Okay, I don't have no,
I'm not pregnant.

Speaker 7 (01:08:21):
They musn't talk about you, stupid after my side piece, Fred,
I'm gonna be there.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Don't worry, we'll be back.

Speaker 4 (01:08:33):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Now, they do have him in like a wheelchair that's
pushing him out. There's like a So I do think
they went to a hospital. Like I said, I wonder
if they worked there someone like, if it's a skit
they did in the hospital, because I mean, unless they
just have these things sitting around, maybe it could be
like a nursing home and they just worked there and

(01:08:55):
they did the sketch there.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
Because yeah, like I said, I've been to enough hospital.
Where's the boy that? What big white boy did they
have with it? With a well, each nurse has to
write their name order they show you their schedule. My
name is Mary. I'll be here from from twelve pm
to twelve am.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Maybe he's not in. I c U he's in Like, ah,
I don't know. Oh, I'm stupid. I'm stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
I can't wait to go home. And whoop your fucking ass.
You're gonna be right back up here at this r
what you're gonna be right back up here? We got
a we having three simes and.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Shit you So, I guess the the gag is he
didn't know that she heard it all and saw it
all because he was he was, you know, whatever they did.
Tag this tweet would follow at Street Media TV for
more crazy for our videos on your timeline. Uh the comments,

(01:09:48):
that's why I go to the doctors myself. Someone replied, nah, this,
I mean that's why I go to doctors by myself,
and they replied, nah, this is facts right here. If
this nigga wearing, is this going a shitty in the hospital?
My brother wear he is in the shower. Street So
street media is responded to like a lot of the
tweets from it, which makes me feel like they were

(01:10:08):
trying to keep it, make it go viral, also follow
us for more these videos. Feels like a sketch company,
not that, like, how can you know more stuff like
this is going to happen? So, yeah, what would you
rate this? You or the ten?

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
Because I feel like it's fake.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
I don't think I don't think it's real. And my
score for this is probably about on one or two.
And the biggest reason why is because if you're gonna
do something like this, her tone should have been hyper,
you know, just hearing that. Her responseship like what what
you talking about it? And she was too funny, like

(01:10:46):
it was.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
So and he's driving himself home.

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
As I've been on them drugs, y'all. You can't do
ship in them drugs.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
I mostly feel like the ske wasn't thought out.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
If anything, she should have been the one driving.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Yeah, I feel like it wasn't thought out. And then
the other thing too is this and this is a
thing that happens a lot on my Facebook reels because
I watch a lot of Facebook reels, especially if I'm
on them edibles, I watch a lot of Facebook reels
and there's a lot of people trying to make these
gender wars and sketches in comedy and the vast majority

(01:11:28):
and like I said, this probably is because we're the weirdows.
But there's so much like allusions to abuse and beating
each other and cheating on each other and stuff, and
people just think those things are funny, you know, and
I think it's like the lowest.

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
Bar funny hack.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Yeah. Like I saw one where like like they have
these ones now where women are doing the selling challenge
and then a man comes up and like rip the
phone off there, like what you're doing, or looks at
him and they're supposed to be like, oh no, I'm
not gonna shake my ass. It's like, well, your an Instagram.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
Model shakes their ass.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
I don't like the the joke is he's gonna hurt
you or do something to you for doing this. I
saw another like women were dancing in front of on
the street and the club obviously fake video, but then
like it's like when your man when you told Joe
Man you were coming home or something, and then a
dude literally comes and grabs this woman by the head

(01:12:19):
and picks her up and walks off, and it's but
it's played like isn't this cute and funny? You know
how men are, you know how we as women are
and all this stuff. And so the part of the
end when she's like I'm gonna beat your ass and shit,
I'm like, yeah, that that that is on par with
the kind of comedy that this is. But also like
it's not very funny, Like it's not I'm gonna break

(01:12:42):
up with you. You on your own now, how you know,
take care of yourself at the hospital.

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
It's I'm gonna beat you up when we get home.
And the acting was not great. Yeah, like if you're
gonna do something, if you're gonna do a gender was
connect to the part.

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
People come So I feel like if someone was talking
in their sleep, they be more mumbley. Yes, it wouldn't
be so perfectly clear like Lily here, like I'm responding
to you I'm calling you stupid multiple times. So yeah,
I give it. I give it honestly a zero at ten.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
Yeah, yeah, you don't want to fight at all.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
I don't think anyone really bought this, and.

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
You know, I'm gonna give it a zero two just
put a simple fact that it didn't trend, like like
like this this right here was not something that everybody
was talking about or something like that. This is something
that they just kind of threw it, almost like you're
throwing shit at the wall to see what's gonna stick.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
Yeah, if you look at the quote tweets, you can
see there's like obviously an effort to try to pretend
that this is real. Like there's you know, blue checks,
which literally is the worst.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
It means.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
It means what people said it used to mean. Now
that people can pay for him. Baby, if any guy,
I will pull this shit on God Joe, I'm straight
up West SA Chicago, blah blah blah, like that blue
check person, woo, that's trifling. Is bad, black woman too
coming out, y'all way not to go and only twenty

(01:14:00):
four anesthesia aka true Sarah, like they like, people want it,
people want to believe these things. This is why I
always say on here, they it goes viraling. People fight
about it. They want it to be.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
True, but it's so obviously unlike fake.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
So then I guess people just you know, and I
don't even see people like going back and forth arguing
with these folks. Most of these don't even have a
