Smith had some very strong words or opinions about Serena
Williams joining Kendrick Lamar on stage. Now, remember this was
like the height of the Drake Kendrick beef, which is
one of the reasons that Kendrick had Serena dancing with
him on.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Stage because she dated Drake.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Well at the time, Stephen said, if I'm your husband,
I'm thinking, why are you up there trolling him?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Trolling your ex?

do that. And when the guy's sitting across from you,
but you had to know there was a chance that

would leave her, right, so stand on it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, just say that like I wouldn't like it. And
I mean, what can you say? Oh you're insecure, You're like, okay,
I said it so fun, just I really wouldn't like
that if it were my wife, I wouldn't. You don't
have to. There's only that much argument there.
Speaker 3 (03:01):

like I'll give you marriage advice later, Like she was
just trying to get them from Kevin Beefing. I felt
bad for her, but yeah, and he got all his money.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
He does have pretty green eyes for a cover. Wake
me up when September end, So they did that over
the weekend. She's been bringing out a ton of people
on her Radical Optimism tour. This time it was in
San Francisco. Didn't somebody bring out the chicks as well?
I saw somebody somewhere dead. I can I can tell
you guys, hour and really quick. John Mayer is dating
(04:03):
a very big TikToker. Do you know Kat Stickler?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, she's hot, she's super hot.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
She she's the one who makes fun of her Latina mom.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
She makes an impression of her.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
She was dating someone who was on the Bachelor, and
now she's dating John Mayer.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Apparently it's not serious. Well if you're dating two nights
in a.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Row though, they went on like two nights dates each
night consecutively. Yeah, Like that's because I saw the story. Yeah, yeah,
because I talked to John about it.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Like she's hot. That's how I know she is.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
She's very funny too, so don't He's been talking about
how he's ready.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
To fall in love.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We'll see, but I don't know if he is actually
ready to be in a committed relationship.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
But congrats the can.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
She always seems to go and I don't. I don't
follow her. I see her stuff. I don't no reason
why I don't follow her. I don't think it's really
targeted for me. But but she she tends to go
like all in on on who she's dating, and then
they tend to kind of fizzle because I think she
was married.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
We first met her when she it was like a
combo deal. Yeah, well, she it was.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
An unplanned pregnancy with the dude she was with. They
tried to make it work. It wasn't like a situation older,
she was like, sure, she wanted to be with him forever.
They tried to make it work, they had to break up,
and then she dated a dude, Jason Tartik, who used
to be with Caitlyn Bristow. He was on the Bachelor Bachelorette,
that whole thing, and now she is.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, but she's gone in deep a couple of times.
It's like, this is why I don't talk about these things. Yeah,
she very much pushed I'll probably be married for I
think three years before I'll tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I think it's smart, honestly.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Seriously, like I think I'm gonna pull a Kiki.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm gonna do the whole thing and not tell anybody,
and then some little kid's gonna walk in and be like,
hey dad, oh yeah I did that too. By the way,
I would love that. Yeah, yeah, but that's no, that's
not happening. What's not happening with the kid part of it?
But but no, that's the only thing. I think she's funny.
But I've also watched her cry over like four different
men hysterically, and it's like, well, why don't we maybe
know what's just like do our thing for a while
(05:58):
and maybe we don't. Wait, we don't you know, hard
launch everybody.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Maybe you know, I think she should postman ever.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But maybe like maybe we don't do that, and then
and then if it's like really rock solid, but then
the problem is if it's not really rock solid, then
you post, and then you know, you got that exposure.
And we've had this conversation before. It's like people that
don't do this for a living, like you know, you
don't actually really want the attention. Let me assure you,
people in the comment section are not nice.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
People in my face are not nice.

Or not.
