In Episode 98, Jerrilyn Lake (aka Indeskribeabull) and Lynee’ Monae kick things off with a classic What Irritated Me This Week moment that wastes absolutely no time. From side‑eyeing loud, misogynistic podcast debates to unpacking the exhausting contradictions of “traditional” expectations placed on women, the duo makes it clear: some opinions deserve to be left at the mic. Things only get hotter when they dive into prom season, questioning why kids are pulling up in Lamborghinis for one night while graduation barely gets a balloon. Is it celebration, performance, or a little bit of both? And more importantly—who is this really for?
The conversation shifts from rhinestones to red carpets as Jerrilyn and Lynee’ get real about the Met Gala, high fashion, and why being uncomfortable is somehow part of the aesthetic. They break down the industry’s long history of unrealistic beauty standards, from modeling culture to size obsessions, and why “beauty is pain” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a system. With jokes that land and truths that hit, they connect fashion, capitalism, and hypocrisy in a way only She Said It First can. Equal parts hilarious and honest, this episode is a reminder that looking good has never been worth losing yourself—and if it is, maybe it’s time to change the rules.

But now you want me to work like it's weird exactly,
He talks to, Well, you need to have your own
stuff because I don't need you sit at the house
word about what I'm doing all day. Well, guess what
I won't be doing if I can't worry about you.
I won't be making sure you eat when you get
(03:01):
I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I don't know when you're coming home. I don't know
what's going on to make sure you're done ready when
you get home. When I don't know what you're doing,
So you figure out white bout did? How about that
they're whearing down?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
One of y'all just take things too far? No, you
said what you said, So this is what that looks like.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You can't want a traditional partnership and a traditional You
can't want a traditional romantic relationship with somebody and then
ask them to do things that aren't traditional.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You want you you also want me to work, Nigga,
go to hell?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, Hello, so yeah, girl, that's what irritated me this week.
So what irritated me this week was prom. Prom irritates
me every time it comes around. I like prime, but
I do feel like it's too it's too extravagant, friend,
Like it's too flashy, it's too.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Extensive, and that's economy.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Like it just feels like everybody is getting ready for
their wedding, and it's like, what do you do when
you have the wedding?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
If you getting ready already?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Like what happens when you actually get married and like
you get to spend all the money and you get
them spent, you know, get the expensive shoes and then
you know what I'm saying. I mean, we're talking thousands
and thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars. We're talking
about like Lamborghinis with the butterfly doors. We're talking about
I mean Louis Vuitton's shoes. We're talking about custom made dress.
And it's nothing wrong with that. I think that's a
(04:21):
beautiful thing. I just want to make sure that we
put that same energy into graduation, because what I don't
see is y'all doing the same thing when they graduate.
I don't see the limos and the Lamborghinis and the
I don't see any of that. When it comes to graduate,
are they graduating?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Are they? Are they graduating? I've been seeing it. I
don't know. Our timelines might look different because I've been
seeing that. This is what I don't be saying that.
This is where we have a huge difference of opinion
because I feel like this.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Nobody complains when he spent or Latino people have the
ken Sinyeta. Nobody complains when white girls have sweet sixteens,
and then sometimes black kids do too. But I think
it's a cultural thing, and I think for us, I
think the baby should be allowed to celebrate if they
mamas can pay.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I don't. Here's the thing, I'm not pocket watching.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
If you ain't got no money to feed your kids
and you want to throw them a five thousand dollars
prom party, that's on you.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But I'm not I need a problem.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But I mean, of course, and then if you set
up and you spend money for your child to have
a promposal and a prom party and all that stuff,
and then your child don't walk across the stage, you
need to understand what you felt as a parent, but
that that's not my concern.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I wish you could do better, but that's I don't
really truly care about that. What I care about.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
What I care about is these kids have dressed and
being half naked on on these red carps.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's what I care about. You doing it up because
so of this, And this is why let me explain
why I'm okay with them doing it up.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Because in every especially the girls, in every other space
in her life, especially a black woman, she will be
told to make herself tall. She's going to be asked
to not do too much, don't be too loud, don't
wear your hair like that, your nails like that, you
can't dress like that. She's gonna be constantly under a
microscrubs grupinized. So before she really get out into the
real world. Yeah, let her have a little fun with
(06:10):
her brom. I'm not against that at all. I think
that it's not about the girls this time around. I
think it's been all about the boys. I think that
I have seen, of course, and it's nothing wrong with that.
And like you said, our timelines are probably completely different, honestly,
because I haven't seen the girls getting chrissagies anymore. I
haven't seen the guys opening up the doors for them.
I've seen dudes sitting in the chair and the girls
(06:32):
standing up. I've seen it being all about the boys
and like them honestly just being super flashy. I seen
a dude with like I don't know if it was
a chandelier or what he had, but he had a
bunch of like shandelier pieces all over, you know what
I mean. And the girl was super classy, like very classy.
You know, she came out there really really cute. I
(06:52):
think it's just been different for me to see I
still stand behind like and of course I don't, I
don't know. I don't think I'm pocket watching. I wouldn't
say that. I think prioritizing things is important. If your
child is not graduating, they don't get good grades, they disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
They don't really care, then why are you doing all
of that? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I guess that's just my thing. I think having an
opinion on it doesn't mean like I care or I'm
just like super invested in what people are doing.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I don't think that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I'm just saying I'm watching people go above and beyond
and I'm wondering if we're showing up the same way
for graduation or like, what if you do by all
of these things to her?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
She don't have no clothes on, she.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Got pasties and a throng going to prom. I mean,
what are you putting out there? What are you doing
all of this to put that out there? You want
to spend money to show your daughter in that light?
That's very interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I really don't stand by that. I know, I think
that's absolutely insane. And again I have not seen that.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I have seen some I've seen some questionable dresses, you
know what I'm saying. Yeah, But I've also seen the
fellas eating it up, you know what I'm saying. I've
seen some of the guys dressed very nicely. I've seen
them being gentlemen, and I've just seen it. Like, I've
seen both sides of it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I do me. My personal opinion is I wouldn't do
it for my kids, Yeah, because I'm not gonna have it.
But I don't know if I would do it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But also, you know, like I think, I think that's
a lot of money to shell out when we also
need to consider other expenses related to graduation. In college
and getting them a car or whatever. I think that
I do think that that money could be used elsewhere.
But also them, you know, like them just ain't my kids.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I just don't want to see those sixteen year old
ass and cucci and titties on my time's right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
That, Yeah, that's I agree. I'm just like, that's I
don't know, but hey, I got that's that's them.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Though.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
You know what, these wire be the same people.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
These are the same people that call girls past, right,
These are the same people that blame women for sexual
assault and abuse. So I'm not even I'm not even
shocked at what you're seeing, because that's how a lot
of the culture works, right, Yeah, the culture. The culture
runs on misogyny and the abuse of the exploitation of women,
(09:18):
and so uh, this is supposed to be like a
coming of age type of ceremony or you know, presentation
or whatever, and sometimes it just turned into shenanigans, which
as a black you know, I love the shnanis yo, same,
I love, but when it comes to the kids, I'll
be thrown off a little bit. Like, Yeah, I think
it's important for us to have these types of conversations
(09:40):
because these the kids don't be knowing. It's the parents, right,
it's the parents' job to be responsible for these kids.
These are brand new humans. They're they're they're frontal lobes,
are not fully developed. They're figuring the world out. And
a lot of these parents be raising kids as they're
growing up to so we're you know, we all learning what.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What we should and shouldn't or could and couldn't or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
But I think, you know, honestly, as long as the
kids are having a good time, I don't like the
fact that sometimes the event turned into.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
A homicide to shootout.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And I think I'm about the stuff surrounding the prom
and as than I am about the.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Kids getting the show, because you know, unfortunately some people are.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Never going to get married, or they may have a
non traditional ceremony where they don't do all the bills.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And whistles, and this you know, prom might be the
only time they see that actually do something like that.
I can see that time.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I also think about like financial responsibility sometimes too, when
we think about these right where it's like, am I
rewarding And I'm not saying everybody's bad. I'm not saying
that they don't deserve it. I do think it's extravagant,
but I love to see it right. But it's also
like financial responsibility, like do you just get whatever you
want even though you're not doing what you're supposed to
(10:55):
be doing. I just want to make sure that we
also are instilling responsibility too, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I think black people do have it harder. So like it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I don't want to go on them too bad about
like what they're wearn't and what people are spending their
money on. But I do think like there is a stigma,
like a stigma against us when it comes to like
name brand things.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
And like our priorities overall, you know. So I think
that's where my thing is.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
But once again, never one because like you said, it's
not about the kids, it's about the parents, you know,
like what they feel like they want to put forth
and are you doing it for him or are you
doing it for recognition on you know, everything that you
got him you want to be praised.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I don't know it just that goes.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
So that's that's an argument we can have because a
lot of parents didn't have that type of elaborate, you know,
situation when they was graduating or whatever, and yeah, maybe
they're trying to live vicariously through their kids.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I can see that being a discussion. And then, you know,
I think, like you specifically.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Said, you said, if we don't want to be rewarding them,
if they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing.
And I remember, and I can only speak from personal experience,
times have truly changed.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, we wasn't doing all of this when I was
growing up, at least my family was not.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And so and as far as talking about rewarding bad behavior, baby,
I had straight a's, I was on the track team,
I went to State two years in a row.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I worked a job after school, like I was inquired
at church and.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Doing all like I was one of those kids that
just did was I consider myself a perfect student. I
wasn't getting in trouble, none of that. And I still
had to get my dress from the good Will and
I still didn't get you know what I'm saying, Like
our family just didn't have that, and my parents wasn't
finna do that. Yeah, you know, now looking back on prom,
did they have a good time, sure, but it just wasn't.
(12:45):
I feel like if anybody would have deserved all of
that over the time stuff. It would have been me,
the straight age, the kid that's on the principal list,
that's got good grades and never in trouble and all
that stuff. I would think that that would constitute dropping
the bad that. I think we have become so consumed
with labels and this and designer that I just can't
get into it. I know people want to wear nice things,
(13:06):
and they want to they want to show people that
they have status or money or whatever, and I think
that's great. It's just I just don't concern myself with
stuff like that, because if y'all want to go broke
or not, that's y'all business.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
These these people.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
The truth is some of these parents might be able
to afford what they're giving their kids from if their
kids deserve it or not.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I know, Toto ain't get me.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
To can't get no live up, he can't get no Lamborghini,
he can't get no tesselor he can't get he can't
go that. Toto got six toys right now sitting at
the base of my steps that he don't play with.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
In the back, going back and make you work. Okay,
I'm glad I'm having an electric car, so you can, girl.
And I'm throwing it straight. I'm throwing it straight to
tell not.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Nord, poor baby, he said. He said he's gonna do
the basic care when he got I mean, well, you know,
that's what irritated us this week. I guess, you know,
to each his own. I ain't doing it, but you know, maybe.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
We should do an adult prom just to relive it.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I think that would be fine because now I got
the phones, honey, Now now I.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Got the and then and then right after that, we're
gonna do an adult spelling bee. And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I just, but you know what, the literacy rates in
this country are just ridiculous. It's not even about it's
not even about agreeing or disagreeing. It's about the facts.
And the facts are that the overwhelming majority of adults
cannot read a Harry Potter book.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And that's and I just it's not because of that promise,
because of but it is here.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I'm joking, but but this is but this is serious though,
Like people people don't have these conversations because they're too
busy laughing.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
About other ship.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Like these kids cannot freaking read. I know, and pizza
hud just started. You remember when we used to do
the book something, Book a million or something. You'd have
to realize many points and you get a free pizza.
They just started back where the hell were.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Y'all pizza hut when niggas had to read Project twenty
twenty five and get us out of this map, y'all, No,
we should have been given free pieces back.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
No, child, that's a that's a whole nother that's a
whole other situation when you when you really think about,
you know, like what what type of harm that that
you know, prioritizing the wrong thing in our community can do.
Even you know, we can put it off a little
bit on systemic racism, and then sometimes it's just.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
All right, niggas, we gotta do better. Yeah, and and
and niggas have been trying to do better.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Unfortunately, unfortunate, the Spirit Airlines has has gone on the
basis and so.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm gonna be honest with y'all know what not really
about Spirit Airlines going on? Never said never was.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I'm said, way we see the way we see them
videos of niggas getting slapped in their mouth and them terminals,
I ain't you can you can feel the energy shift
when you go through out when you when I'm you know,
I'm I live in Atlanta, So y'all know how the
airport conders want to look. All the Delta terminals are
on one side, our delsigates are on one side, and
(16:40):
then all the other airlines are in a different location.
So when you go when you're on the desper side,
people like they got a little sense when you go
outsolutely when you go to them.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
United Southwest and Frontier and Spirit and it gets different
over there, some spirits over there. I don't know what
is going on.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I just be like, yeah, everybody, everybody be off the hook,
from the people at the desk to the people trying
to get off the plane. It's terrible across the board,
like every single last personal I just oh my god,
I hate going on Spirit. But if I need to
take a quick flight to like Miami or somewhere quick,
I'd be like, I guess, But girl, that is like
(17:18):
executive decisions right there. It's like it has to be
a quick flight.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You know, I get on it.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
You're on your own with their friend because the way,
I don't care if they're to charge me a thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I got two choices.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I'm paying a thousand dollars on mass ain't going because
I can't do it. Any time I've been on the
Spirit flight, it's been miserable. There's not enough room, that
don't serve no snacks, and people got attitudes that it's
so uncomfortable, like I.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Can't do it. I can't do it, and I tried.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I gave it my best, and I you know, I
wish it could be a different Spirit, but you know,
everybody gotta come to the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You know, everything is so, everything is temporary.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I think that this will absolutely prep disproportionately of fake
black and brown people because these are the more affordable.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Airlines. Let's go go out front here.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
You know what it's so crazy about this conversation is
that in response to Spirit doing what it's doing, other
other companies have started increasing their rates or or rolling
back their services. Okay, some point, Delta just said we're
not giving our snacks on short flights some more.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
If it's less than the minds, you ain't get no snacks?
Are you serious? Don't piss me off, because I flop
with y'all all the time. Don't do that. Don't do that.
You're just giving us a little pistols. Okay, them people say,
get your food at the airport and sit your ass down.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Don't come in here without it. Hooting and hollering like
y'all doing them spirit flights. That what they said they
in the in the verbase that they released the press state.
But they said, don't bring y'all gettle asses over here
at the holding and hollering about my fucking cookie.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's what they said, talking about odoking. I'm dying. They
could give out a little snack that was priced. I
don't like that.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
There should be something available on any floor anytime you
get I'm sorry, let me pause. There is a lash
or something tickling my nose and it just won't get gone.
And I'm trying my best to cook like casually get it.
But okay, there we go, because why would you play
(19:32):
with my nose like that?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It just it was just hanging from my eyes and
then it just started whistling around my face.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I kept feeling, But yeah, I was what was I go?
Rolling back? We talking about Delta talking about snacks.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Oh yeah, everybody, If I paid my money to be
in the air for any amount of time, I should
get a little sprite or something, or money, something anything.
Everybody but Dwight Delta is trying to charge you extra
two hundred dollars for things like being you're still in coach,
but you get to stay it closer to the front,
(20:10):
or you're still in coach, but you get the bored
in group six instead of group eight. Or you're still
in coach, but now you get to earn miles on
this flight. Let me tell you how to please and
look me in my eye when I say this, Delta.
If I pay for a flight and you don't give
me miles for that flight, it's going to be a
long flight for everybody.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, I don't want to be in coach.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Anytime I think of paying extra, I need to be
bumped up the first class, Like that's my paying extra
instilled coach.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Like it just doesn't even make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Hell No, I ain't with Like you get you get
to board faster, but you still got to put your
knees to your chest.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
No, And I was with them. They had been so
good by that, not letting certain people fly. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
They had not things from happening, and we were still happy.
And now all of a sudden, you do this. This
is that I don't know, and I'm like that girl
that's death to that. Deafa said, I'm gonna squeeze every
red set out of y'all.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
That's crazy. I want every penny, y'all.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
God, And it's absolutely ridiculous, But you know that that's
the way that the world works. Something else that is
absolutely ridiculous is some of these outfits that I saw
at the MET yall last night. Now, I'm not judging people,
not judging people, but we know Jeff Jeff Bezos is
significantly tied into.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And everybody knows that. Everybody who was there knows that.
Everybody knows that.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And we know that this man has supported Donald Trump
and supported Ice being uh well infiltrating you know, the
air was waste system.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And I just can't understand.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I can't reconcile them wearing no Ice pins at the
MET gallon because it don't even make sense and direct.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Support of the.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Interesting and a lot of celebrities had a lot to say,
But what was your take on the MET gala? Did
you see a lot of the outfits and stuff because
the theme this year was Fashion is.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Art, so whatever you was wearing needed to look.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Like, you know, like cont like a piece of art. Oh, okay,
that makes more sense for what I saw. Yeah, I've
seen some people, of course, you know. I've seen Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I think she kind of like had a skeleton kind
of like dress on.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
But Blue Ivy was cute. I did see Blue Ivy.
I really liked Blue Ivy outfit. Doci looked really cute.
Teanna Taylor, she looked really pretty. I really did see
a whole lot of people, but I d see I
think his name is it's his name Wisdom. He does
like a lot of different fashion looks and stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I see him.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I always get excited when I see him because he's
on social media. He's a content creator, so when I
see him at places like.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That, I'd be like, that's dope, Like yeah, oh, I
love watching.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
All of his I'm saying he puts a lot of
effort and energy behind his looks, and so when I
see people like that who are in the same spaces
and rounds of us as far as like social media,
and I see them go to different levels and are
at the Magdala like I'd be like, I love to
see I don't care what he wears.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I just like to see it.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
And I was really it, girl. I wasn't really into
the mac galile. I'm never really into the mac Galley.
As much as I love fashion and clothes and things
like that, I'm never that excited to see them.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
So I don't know I'll be like that too.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
The only thing I do is I see the outfits
the next day or the night of or whatever, and
they look crazy. Every year, every looks and it's why
I know that I don't need to be involved in
fashion at all, because every time I see high fashion,
I think it was stupid.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
And I thought Beyonce looked First of all, Beyonce looked amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I thought it almost kind of just looked like a
regular dress, but the detail, with the skeletal system and
everything that, all the jewels and the beaded crown and
everything that looked amazing to me. And then I saw
Party B's outfit and it just looked like she had
a bunch of ball sacks trapped around her body.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I couldn't quite And that's my girl. I love Cardi,
but I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Her outfit either. I was kind of like, I don't
I didn't understand this.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
The tities around the head part. I think that's the
part that was like, what's this? What's that part? But
I don't know. She usually come harder than that. I
don't don't. Maybe she was tired, rightfully, so if she was, well,
I mean, she's dragging a wagon and I ain't talking
about the dude she had.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Seventy two pounds of nut sacks had buddy, and you know,
like and then people will say stuff like, well, y'all,
I was just broke. Y'all don't understand. I'm sorry. I
don't even want to understand it. Because I also saw
Janelle Moname, whom I love. I'm still the Electric Lady
is still playing double Platinum in my crep no Skips,
so I love Janello name. But she was dressed like
(24:51):
a tree. Now the very uncomfortable she looked, the dress
looked fantastic.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
She was to me, I'm about to say this part
strust me. I can't couldn't move it like this, And so.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I don't think I understand that this is high fashion
and these are expensive designers and all of this is
cuture and all of that, But it ain't couture if
I ain't comfortable and I that's just me. It's not
coture to me if I can't be comfortable and I
and I think this just plays into all of this.
I talked about this on the video that I'm gonna
post later because I actually this was my first time
(25:25):
watching the Devil Worlds product. I had never seen the
movie before, and I know the part two is coming out.
I said about I said, prior to go to the
movies to see it, I want to, you know, go
get the backstory. First of all, took me too long
to watch it. I can't stay on all white cans
except that one black girl. And then y'all in New York?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Where are the niggas? York? Where are the niggas? But
I watched it, and just all of.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It kind of ties into how the fashion industry is
just maybe beauty is pain, and beauty is pain, and
we don't really.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Care about you being comfortable. We care about that at all.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It has nothing to do with your comfortability. And if
you are a size four, you will be.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
In a size too.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You must be a size too because you should have
been a size zero in the first place.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Hello, okay, because two is too big to think, not
just to be a blood side. Plus, I ain't seen
her two. I don't know if I ever wore two.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I don't, and I'm I was skinny, like, I don't
think I've ever seen a two.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Friend. I think it's as song as I got, maybe
a six. I think maybe a four, and I mean
maybe maybe, but I ain't never.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The only time, the only time I saw it too
was maybe on a shoe when I was very young,
but never gave me section is when I saw two
tea for the first time.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
That was the last time I seen one. Honey, I
have never seen a too. I never could sit in that.
So yeah, but okay, so real quick.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
While we were talking about this, not trying to defend
or take up for this person at all because she
took no accountability. But around that time is when America's
next time model and how the industry was is exactly
how the Doublewar's product is.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You know what I'm saying, howermins Treating and talking to
them girls like that is a no go.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
But then it was very accepted because that was kind
of the attitude of those individuals in those spaces.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Like they weren't friendly, they weren't nice.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
They were there to literally tear you down and unfortunately
make you feel like crap to the point where you
was like, well, I can't eat today, I know only
drink water.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I gotta get skinny. I don't look presentable like they.
It just was like that.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And I was in a lot of modeling things, like
a bunch of modeling things when I was in middle
school up until college mostly, and so.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
A lot of that was hard.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Like I've heard it all about my shape, my body,
the way I look, my hair, everything you could think
of that.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Somebody would say to you.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
You get into that modeling space and it is designed
to tear you down so that you will look like European.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I mean that is your competition as a black woman
in that space. Yeah, I mean I think that.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So when you when you talk about that, I think
the beauty center is not just European. It's like it's
it's it's almost rooted in pedophilia.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
It's like we want you.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You don't need no hair, you don't need no breasts,
you don't need no curves. You just need it straight up,
it down because because what grown woman, you.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Know, is the size zero to two. I don't know
any me neither. I don't know any those are child sizes.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Women who have curves and who have given birth and
who have lived and their metabolism is slow down, and
maybe they're going through minebout like these are all These
are all normal bodies, And so I think the biggest
issue with that is, like, I remember, I did a
pageant one time on accident, and I wanted because I
was talented, What did you do?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
What was the talent? You were thinking, yeah, okay, And
it was so funny. I had no idea what was happening.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It was a preliminary pageant to the Miss Mississippi Pageant,
which is a preliminary to the Miss America pageant.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Wow, I had no idea. The lady and the mall said,
come do this pageant because we don't have enough women
to compete.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I said, okay, cool. They donated a bunch of stuff,
dresses and stuff. I got like a halfwig to have
my hair done because I wasn't I didn't want to
even deal with it, but I.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Just did it. I was like twenty one. Oh, okay,
I got two.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I was graduating from college by the end, and so
we just did it. Me and the girl that worked
with me at the store. We just did the pageant
just because they needed some people to be in a pageant.
Girl messed around and won the pageant. Yes, ended up
having to go to another pageant, and I was like, bitch,
I didn't tign him for this. But saying all that
to say, there were people in this during this time
(29:50):
that had like discussion boards, and what they would do
on the Internet is sit around and talk about girls.
Because I was I was on the older side of
the qualified competitors. A lot of these girls were not
competing past like eighteen or twenty. Once you get to
like eighteen, they put you in a different like in
(30:12):
a different age bracket. Okay, so they have the Junior
miss and then they have the miss and then they
have the misses and.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm like it's too much.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
But I remember people being on these discussion boards and
just talking about all the things they hated about the
girls that were competing.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
And I saw them talking about me.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Who I wasn't a child, but you know, that's still
so young though, that's still yeah, And just understanding that
these grown people are sitting around critiquing children because I
was again, I was one of the older contestants. They
were up in there talking about high school girls. I
was competing against high school girls. Yeah yeah, Like for
(30:54):
y'all to sit up here and be so vocal about
one of these seventeen year old eighteen year old.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Doing is weird.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But that's that's where the beauty standards come from. They
want beautiful to them. It's childlike. And you want to
know how I know what I'm talking about is because
when you go to a lot of those Asian fashion sites,
they're always promoting the women looking hairless and youthful. They're
pulling their skin back, they're getting lots and lots of botox.
(31:22):
They don't want any wrinkles, no hair, no cell you
like anything like that. And so it's just one of
those things where I had learned to like, I just
don't care no more. I'm wholeheartedly at a place where
I really don't care if you don't like how I look.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Hell, I don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So they get caught up in that stuff and yeah,
where's Prada and America's Next Top Model? And home organizations
that run on women starving themselves to be m yep,
because that is the standard.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I mean, they would tell you, don't feed the models.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I don't know how many times I've seen that shirt everywhere,
like people was wearing that shirt religiously.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Don't feed the models because.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
They would rather starve to death than eat a great
and possibly gain a pound.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I guess I have no clue. Well, it's it's also
these women are on display as if they're in a zoo.
That's in a zoo. Don't feed the animals. Why are
we Why are we encouraging this?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
But it's because women aren't worth anything in our society
and so we we always come back to that. But
other other than that, I think the met Gala looks
were you know, they were very uh.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Eccentric. They were there, they were in.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Plato, It's what cam Neton said. They were in platto
girl get out. I thought they were very you know,
they were detailed, they were high fashion, and obviously it's
something that I don't comprehend because my eye doesn't navigate
to death. But if these people want to continue supporting
folks that are every way but in the government, hey y'all.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
So be it.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
There's nothing we can do niggas have been here before.
We're gonna always be here. We're trying our best to
change it. But this is where it's at right now.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, that's what my energy is. Like, I don't I
like fashion. I see some things that I do like,
but I think that why did you go when you knew?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
And then like whether Matt Collen supports money give us
money for a good cause, and it's a lot of
things out.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Here that give money to a good caust are you
there as well? Because I have not seen it.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I haven't seen you showing up, so like, yeah, I
don't know. That's my thing is why were you there?
I don't like the energy behind that, and.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Then saying we're not in agreement with.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
You can't this is the same doesn't work like that.
That's the same stuff I'm talking about with Chris Brown
and Usher. I'm not saying that you can't have a
good time. I'm saying that for you to be outwardly
saying I don't support abusers and rapists and all of
these things, and then you go and spend your money
with them, you spend your time with them, and if
(34:04):
it's not something that you can avoid because clearly if
you live in a food desert and you can't feed
your kids unless you shop at Walmart or you order
something from Amazon. I'm not saying that you're, you know,
adding to it. I'm saying, if you have a choice
to do the right thing and you still do the
wrong thing, you gotta go to hell. And so maybe
(34:27):
that's where that's where I that's where I met with
the met Gallen. Everybody over there can go to Hell.
I don't I don't know them.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
People agree, friends, Yeah, it doesn't matter. But yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
So that's that's all we have for to that stand
of the show. Y'all, Oh my god, that was so

word about what I'm doing all day. Well, guess what
I won't be doing if I can't worry about you.
I won't be making sure you eat when you get
(03:01):
I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I don't know when you're coming home. I don't know
what's going on to make sure you're done ready when
you get home. When I don't know what you're doing,
So you figure out white bout did? How about that
they're whearing down?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
One of y'all just take things too far? No, you
said what you said, So this is what that looks like.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You can't want a traditional partnership and a traditional You
can't want a traditional romantic relationship with somebody and then
ask them to do things that aren't traditional.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You want you you also want me to work, Nigga,
go to hell?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, Hello, so yeah, girl, that's what irritated me this week.
So what irritated me this week was prom. Prom irritates
me every time it comes around. I like prime, but
I do feel like it's too it's too extravagant, friend,
Like it's too flashy, it's too.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Extensive, and that's economy.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Like it just feels like everybody is getting ready for
their wedding, and it's like, what do you do when
you have the wedding?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
If you getting ready already?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Like what happens when you actually get married and like
you get to spend all the money and you get
them spent, you know, get the expensive shoes and then
you know what I'm saying. I mean, we're talking thousands
and thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars. We're talking
about like Lamborghinis with the butterfly doors. We're talking about
I mean Louis Vuitton's shoes. We're talking about custom made dress.
And it's nothing wrong with that. I think that's a
(04:21):
beautiful thing. I just want to make sure that we
put that same energy into graduation, because what I don't
see is y'all doing the same thing when they graduate.
I don't see the limos and the Lamborghinis and the
I don't see any of that. When it comes to graduate,
are they graduating?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Are they? Are they graduating? I've been seeing it. I
don't know. Our timelines might look different because I've been
seeing that. This is what I don't be saying that.
This is where we have a huge difference of opinion
because I feel like this.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Nobody complains when he spent or Latino people have the
ken Sinyeta. Nobody complains when white girls have sweet sixteens,
and then sometimes black kids do too. But I think
it's a cultural thing, and I think for us, I
think the baby should be allowed to celebrate if they
mamas can pay.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I don't. Here's the thing, I'm not pocket watching.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
If you ain't got no money to feed your kids
and you want to throw them a five thousand dollars
prom party, that's on you.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But I'm not I need a problem.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But I mean, of course, and then if you set
up and you spend money for your child to have
a promposal and a prom party and all that stuff,
and then your child don't walk across the stage, you
need to understand what you felt as a parent, but
that that's not my concern.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I wish you could do better, but that's I don't
really truly care about that. What I care about.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
What I care about is these kids have dressed and
being half naked on on these red carps.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's what I care about. You doing it up because
so of this, And this is why let me explain
why I'm okay with them doing it up.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Because in every especially the girls, in every other space
in her life, especially a black woman, she will be
told to make herself tall. She's going to be asked
to not do too much, don't be too loud, don't
wear your hair like that, your nails like that, you
can't dress like that. She's gonna be constantly under a
microscrubs grupinized. So before she really get out into the
real world. Yeah, let her have a little fun with
(06:10):
her brom. I'm not against that at all. I think
that it's not about the girls this time around. I
think it's been all about the boys. I think that
I have seen, of course, and it's nothing wrong with that.
And like you said, our timelines are probably completely different, honestly,
because I haven't seen the girls getting chrissagies anymore. I
haven't seen the guys opening up the doors for them.
I've seen dudes sitting in the chair and the girls
(06:32):
standing up. I've seen it being all about the boys
and like them honestly just being super flashy. I seen
a dude with like I don't know if it was
a chandelier or what he had, but he had a
bunch of like shandelier pieces all over, you know what
I mean. And the girl was super classy, like very classy.
You know, she came out there really really cute. I
(06:52):
think it's just been different for me to see I
still stand behind like and of course I don't, I
don't know. I don't think I'm pocket watching. I wouldn't
say that. I think prioritizing things is important. If your
child is not graduating, they don't get good grades, they disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
They don't really care, then why are you doing all
of that? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I guess that's just my thing. I think having an
opinion on it doesn't mean like I care or I'm
just like super invested in what people are doing.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I don't think that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I'm just saying I'm watching people go above and beyond
and I'm wondering if we're showing up the same way
for graduation or like, what if you do by all
of these things to her?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
She don't have no clothes on, she.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Got pasties and a throng going to prom. I mean,
what are you putting out there? What are you doing
all of this to put that out there? You want
to spend money to show your daughter in that light?
That's very interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I really don't stand by that. I know, I think
that's absolutely insane. And again I have not seen that.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I have seen some I've seen some questionable dresses, you
know what I'm saying. Yeah, But I've also seen the
fellas eating it up, you know what I'm saying. I've
seen some of the guys dressed very nicely. I've seen
them being gentlemen, and I've just seen it. Like, I've
seen both sides of it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I do me. My personal opinion is I wouldn't do
it for my kids, Yeah, because I'm not gonna have it.
But I don't know if I would do it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But also, you know, like I think, I think that's
a lot of money to shell out when we also
need to consider other expenses related to graduation. In college
and getting them a car or whatever. I think that
I do think that that money could be used elsewhere.
But also them, you know, like them just ain't my kids.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I just don't want to see those sixteen year old
ass and cucci and titties on my time's right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
That, Yeah, that's I agree. I'm just like, that's I
don't know, but hey, I got that's that's them.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Though.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
You know what, these wire be the same people.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
These are the same people that call girls past, right,
These are the same people that blame women for sexual
assault and abuse. So I'm not even I'm not even
shocked at what you're seeing, because that's how a lot
of the culture works, right, Yeah, the culture. The culture
runs on misogyny and the abuse of the exploitation of women,
(09:18):
and so uh, this is supposed to be like a
coming of age type of ceremony or you know, presentation
or whatever, and sometimes it just turned into shenanigans, which
as a black you know, I love the shnanis yo, same,
I love, but when it comes to the kids, I'll
be thrown off a little bit. Like, Yeah, I think
it's important for us to have these types of conversations
(09:40):
because these the kids don't be knowing. It's the parents, right,
it's the parents' job to be responsible for these kids.
These are brand new humans. They're they're they're frontal lobes,
are not fully developed. They're figuring the world out. And
a lot of these parents be raising kids as they're
growing up to so we're you know, we all learning what.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What we should and shouldn't or could and couldn't or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
But I think, you know, honestly, as long as the
kids are having a good time, I don't like the
fact that sometimes the event turned into.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
A homicide to shootout.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And I think I'm about the stuff surrounding the prom
and as than I am about the.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Kids getting the show, because you know, unfortunately some people are.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Never going to get married, or they may have a
non traditional ceremony where they don't do all the bills.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And whistles, and this you know, prom might be the
only time they see that actually do something like that.
I can see that time.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I also think about like financial responsibility sometimes too, when
we think about these right where it's like, am I
rewarding And I'm not saying everybody's bad. I'm not saying
that they don't deserve it. I do think it's extravagant,
but I love to see it right. But it's also
like financial responsibility, like do you just get whatever you
want even though you're not doing what you're supposed to
(10:55):
be doing. I just want to make sure that we
also are instilling responsibility too, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I think black people do have it harder. So like it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I don't want to go on them too bad about
like what they're wearn't and what people are spending their
money on. But I do think like there is a stigma,
like a stigma against us when it comes to like
name brand things.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
And like our priorities overall, you know. So I think
that's where my thing is.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
But once again, never one because like you said, it's
not about the kids, it's about the parents, you know,
like what they feel like they want to put forth
and are you doing it for him or are you
doing it for recognition on you know, everything that you
got him you want to be praised.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I don't know it just that goes.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
So that's that's an argument we can have because a
lot of parents didn't have that type of elaborate, you know,
situation when they was graduating or whatever, and yeah, maybe
they're trying to live vicariously through their kids.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I can see that being a discussion. And then, you know,
I think, like you specifically.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Said, you said, if we don't want to be rewarding them,
if they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing.
And I remember, and I can only speak from personal experience,
times have truly changed.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, we wasn't doing all of this when I was
growing up, at least my family was not.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And so and as far as talking about rewarding bad behavior, baby,
I had straight a's, I was on the track team,
I went to State two years in a row.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I worked a job after school, like I was inquired
at church and.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Doing all like I was one of those kids that
just did was I consider myself a perfect student. I
wasn't getting in trouble, none of that. And I still
had to get my dress from the good Will and
I still didn't get you know what I'm saying, Like
our family just didn't have that, and my parents wasn't
finna do that. Yeah, you know, now looking back on prom,
did they have a good time, sure, but it just wasn't.
(12:45):
I feel like if anybody would have deserved all of
that over the time stuff. It would have been me,
the straight age, the kid that's on the principal list,
that's got good grades and never in trouble and all
that stuff. I would think that that would constitute dropping
the bad that. I think we have become so consumed
with labels and this and designer that I just can't
get into it. I know people want to wear nice things,
(13:06):
and they want to they want to show people that
they have status or money or whatever, and I think
that's great. It's just I just don't concern myself with
stuff like that, because if y'all want to go broke
or not, that's y'all business.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
These these people.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
The truth is some of these parents might be able
to afford what they're giving their kids from if their
kids deserve it or not.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I know, Toto ain't get me.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
To can't get no live up, he can't get no Lamborghini,
he can't get no tesselor he can't get he can't
go that. Toto got six toys right now sitting at
the base of my steps that he don't play with.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
In the back, going back and make you work. Okay,
I'm glad I'm having an electric car, so you can, girl.
And I'm throwing it straight. I'm throwing it straight to
tell not.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Nord, poor baby, he said. He said he's gonna do
the basic care when he got I mean, well, you know,
that's what irritated us this week. I guess, you know,
to each his own. I ain't doing it, but you know, maybe.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
We should do an adult prom just to relive it.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I think that would be fine because now I got
the phones, honey, Now now I.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Got the and then and then right after that, we're
gonna do an adult spelling bee. And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I just, but you know what, the literacy rates in
this country are just ridiculous. It's not even about it's
not even about agreeing or disagreeing. It's about the facts.
And the facts are that the overwhelming majority of adults
cannot read a Harry Potter book.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And that's and I just it's not because of that promise,
because of but it is here.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I'm joking, but but this is but this is serious though,
Like people people don't have these conversations because they're too
busy laughing.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
About other ship.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Like these kids cannot freaking read. I know, and pizza
hud just started. You remember when we used to do
the book something, Book a million or something. You'd have
to realize many points and you get a free pizza.
They just started back where the hell were.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Y'all pizza hut when niggas had to read Project twenty
twenty five and get us out of this map, y'all, No,
we should have been given free pieces back.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
No, child, that's a that's a whole nother that's a
whole other situation when you when you really think about,
you know, like what what type of harm that that
you know, prioritizing the wrong thing in our community can do.
Even you know, we can put it off a little
bit on systemic racism, and then sometimes it's just.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
All right, niggas, we gotta do better. Yeah, and and
and niggas have been trying to do better.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Unfortunately, unfortunate, the Spirit Airlines has has gone on the
basis and so.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm gonna be honest with y'all know what not really
about Spirit Airlines going on? Never said never was.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I'm said, way we see the way we see them
videos of niggas getting slapped in their mouth and them terminals,
I ain't you can you can feel the energy shift
when you go through out when you when I'm you know,
I'm I live in Atlanta, So y'all know how the
airport conders want to look. All the Delta terminals are
on one side, our delsigates are on one side, and
(16:40):
then all the other airlines are in a different location.
So when you go when you're on the desper side,
people like they got a little sense when you go
outsolutely when you go to them.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
United Southwest and Frontier and Spirit and it gets different
over there, some spirits over there. I don't know what
is going on.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I just be like, yeah, everybody, everybody be off the hook,
from the people at the desk to the people trying
to get off the plane. It's terrible across the board,
like every single last personal I just oh my god,
I hate going on Spirit. But if I need to
take a quick flight to like Miami or somewhere quick,
I'd be like, I guess, But girl, that is like
(17:18):
executive decisions right there. It's like it has to be
a quick flight.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You know, I get on it.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
You're on your own with their friend because the way,
I don't care if they're to charge me a thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I got two choices.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I'm paying a thousand dollars on mass ain't going because
I can't do it. Any time I've been on the
Spirit flight, it's been miserable. There's not enough room, that
don't serve no snacks, and people got attitudes that it's
so uncomfortable, like I.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Can't do it. I can't do it, and I tried.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I gave it my best, and I you know, I
wish it could be a different Spirit, but you know,
everybody gotta come to the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You know, everything is so, everything is temporary.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I think that this will absolutely prep disproportionately of fake
black and brown people because these are the more affordable.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Airlines. Let's go go out front here.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
You know what it's so crazy about this conversation is
that in response to Spirit doing what it's doing, other
other companies have started increasing their rates or or rolling
back their services. Okay, some point, Delta just said we're
not giving our snacks on short flights some more.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
If it's less than the minds, you ain't get no snacks?
Are you serious? Don't piss me off, because I flop
with y'all all the time. Don't do that. Don't do that.
You're just giving us a little pistols. Okay, them people say,
get your food at the airport and sit your ass down.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Don't come in here without it. Hooting and hollering like
y'all doing them spirit flights. That what they said they
in the in the verbase that they released the press state.
But they said, don't bring y'all gettle asses over here
at the holding and hollering about my fucking cookie.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's what they said, talking about odoking. I'm dying. They
could give out a little snack that was priced. I
don't like that.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
There should be something available on any floor anytime you
get I'm sorry, let me pause. There is a lash
or something tickling my nose and it just won't get gone.
And I'm trying my best to cook like casually get it.
But okay, there we go, because why would you play
(19:32):
with my nose like that?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It just it was just hanging from my eyes and
then it just started whistling around my face.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I kept feeling, But yeah, I was what was I go?
Rolling back? We talking about Delta talking about snacks.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Oh yeah, everybody, If I paid my money to be
in the air for any amount of time, I should
get a little sprite or something, or money, something anything.
Everybody but Dwight Delta is trying to charge you extra
two hundred dollars for things like being you're still in coach,
but you get to stay it closer to the front,
(20:10):
or you're still in coach, but you get the bored
in group six instead of group eight. Or you're still
in coach, but now you get to earn miles on
this flight. Let me tell you how to please and
look me in my eye when I say this, Delta.
If I pay for a flight and you don't give
me miles for that flight, it's going to be a
long flight for everybody.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, I don't want to be in coach.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Anytime I think of paying extra, I need to be
bumped up the first class, Like that's my paying extra
instilled coach.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Like it just doesn't even make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Hell No, I ain't with Like you get you get
to board faster, but you still got to put your
knees to your chest.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
No, And I was with them. They had been so
good by that, not letting certain people fly. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
They had not things from happening, and we were still happy.
And now all of a sudden, you do this. This
is that I don't know, and I'm like that girl
that's death to that. Deafa said, I'm gonna squeeze every
red set out of y'all.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
That's crazy. I want every penny, y'all.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
God, And it's absolutely ridiculous, But you know that that's
the way that the world works. Something else that is
absolutely ridiculous is some of these outfits that I saw
at the MET yall last night. Now, I'm not judging people,
not judging people, but we know Jeff Jeff Bezos is
significantly tied into.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And everybody knows that. Everybody who was there knows that.
Everybody knows that.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And we know that this man has supported Donald Trump
and supported Ice being uh well infiltrating you know, the
air was waste system.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And I just can't understand.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I can't reconcile them wearing no Ice pins at the
MET gallon because it don't even make sense and direct.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Support of the.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Interesting and a lot of celebrities had a lot to say,
But what was your take on the MET gala? Did
you see a lot of the outfits and stuff because
the theme this year was Fashion is.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Art, so whatever you was wearing needed to look.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Like, you know, like cont like a piece of art. Oh, okay,
that makes more sense for what I saw. Yeah, I've
seen some people, of course, you know. I've seen Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I think she kind of like had a skeleton kind
of like dress on.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
But Blue Ivy was cute. I did see Blue Ivy.
I really liked Blue Ivy outfit. Doci looked really cute.
Teanna Taylor, she looked really pretty. I really did see
a whole lot of people, but I d see I
think his name is it's his name Wisdom. He does
like a lot of different fashion looks and stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I see him.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I always get excited when I see him because he's
on social media. He's a content creator, so when I
see him at places like.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That, I'd be like, that's dope, Like yeah, oh, I
love watching.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
All of his I'm saying he puts a lot of
effort and energy behind his looks, and so when I
see people like that who are in the same spaces
and rounds of us as far as like social media,
and I see them go to different levels and are
at the Magdala like I'd be like, I love to
see I don't care what he wears.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I just like to see it.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
And I was really it, girl. I wasn't really into
the mac galile. I'm never really into the mac Galley.
As much as I love fashion and clothes and things
like that, I'm never that excited to see them.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
So I don't know I'll be like that too.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
The only thing I do is I see the outfits
the next day or the night of or whatever, and
they look crazy. Every year, every looks and it's why
I know that I don't need to be involved in
fashion at all, because every time I see high fashion,
I think it was stupid.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
And I thought Beyonce looked First of all, Beyonce looked amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I thought it almost kind of just looked like a
regular dress, but the detail, with the skeletal system and
everything that, all the jewels and the beaded crown and
everything that looked amazing to me. And then I saw
Party B's outfit and it just looked like she had
a bunch of ball sacks trapped around her body.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I couldn't quite And that's my girl. I love Cardi,
but I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Her outfit either. I was kind of like, I don't
I didn't understand this.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
The tities around the head part. I think that's the
part that was like, what's this? What's that part? But
I don't know. She usually come harder than that. I
don't don't. Maybe she was tired, rightfully, so if she was, well,
I mean, she's dragging a wagon and I ain't talking
about the dude she had.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Seventy two pounds of nut sacks had buddy, and you know,
like and then people will say stuff like, well, y'all,
I was just broke. Y'all don't understand. I'm sorry. I
don't even want to understand it. Because I also saw
Janelle Moname, whom I love. I'm still the Electric Lady
is still playing double Platinum in my crep no Skips,
so I love Janello name. But she was dressed like
(24:51):
a tree. Now the very uncomfortable she looked, the dress
looked fantastic.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
She was to me, I'm about to say this part
strust me. I can't couldn't move it like this, And so.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I don't think I understand that this is high fashion
and these are expensive designers and all of this is
cuture and all of that, But it ain't couture if
I ain't comfortable and I that's just me. It's not
coture to me if I can't be comfortable and I
and I think this just plays into all of this.
I talked about this on the video that I'm gonna
post later because I actually this was my first time
(25:25):
watching the Devil Worlds product. I had never seen the
movie before, and I know the part two is coming out.
I said about I said, prior to go to the
movies to see it, I want to, you know, go
get the backstory. First of all, took me too long
to watch it. I can't stay on all white cans
except that one black girl. And then y'all in New York?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Where are the niggas? York? Where are the niggas? But
I watched it, and just all of.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It kind of ties into how the fashion industry is
just maybe beauty is pain, and beauty is pain, and
we don't really.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Care about you being comfortable. We care about that at all.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It has nothing to do with your comfortability. And if
you are a size four, you will be.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
In a size too.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You must be a size too because you should have
been a size zero in the first place.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Hello, okay, because two is too big to think, not
just to be a blood side. Plus, I ain't seen
her two. I don't know if I ever wore two.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I don't, and I'm I was skinny, like, I don't
think I've ever seen a two.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Friend. I think it's as song as I got, maybe
a six. I think maybe a four, and I mean
maybe maybe, but I ain't never.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The only time, the only time I saw it too
was maybe on a shoe when I was very young,
but never gave me section is when I saw two
tea for the first time.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
That was the last time I seen one. Honey, I
have never seen a too. I never could sit in that.
So yeah, but okay, so real quick.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
While we were talking about this, not trying to defend
or take up for this person at all because she
took no accountability. But around that time is when America's
next time model and how the industry was is exactly
how the Doublewar's product is.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You know what I'm saying, howermins Treating and talking to
them girls like that is a no go.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
But then it was very accepted because that was kind
of the attitude of those individuals in those spaces.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Like they weren't friendly, they weren't nice.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
They were there to literally tear you down and unfortunately
make you feel like crap to the point where you
was like, well, I can't eat today, I know only
drink water.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I gotta get skinny. I don't look presentable like they.
It just was like that.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And I was in a lot of modeling things, like
a bunch of modeling things when I was in middle
school up until college mostly, and so.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
A lot of that was hard.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Like I've heard it all about my shape, my body,
the way I look, my hair, everything you could think
of that.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Somebody would say to you.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
You get into that modeling space and it is designed
to tear you down so that you will look like European.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I mean that is your competition as a black woman
in that space. Yeah, I mean I think that.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So when you when you talk about that, I think
the beauty center is not just European. It's like it's
it's it's almost rooted in pedophilia.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
It's like we want you.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You don't need no hair, you don't need no breasts,
you don't need no curves. You just need it straight up,
it down because because what grown woman, you.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Know, is the size zero to two. I don't know
any me neither. I don't know any those are child sizes.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Women who have curves and who have given birth and
who have lived and their metabolism is slow down, and
maybe they're going through minebout like these are all These
are all normal bodies, And so I think the biggest
issue with that is, like, I remember, I did a
pageant one time on accident, and I wanted because I
was talented, What did you do?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
What was the talent? You were thinking, yeah, okay, And
it was so funny. I had no idea what was happening.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It was a preliminary pageant to the Miss Mississippi Pageant,
which is a preliminary to the Miss America pageant.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Wow, I had no idea. The lady and the mall said,
come do this pageant because we don't have enough women
to compete.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I said, okay, cool. They donated a bunch of stuff,
dresses and stuff. I got like a halfwig to have
my hair done because I wasn't I didn't want to
even deal with it, but I.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Just did it. I was like twenty one. Oh, okay,
I got two.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I was graduating from college by the end, and so
we just did it. Me and the girl that worked
with me at the store. We just did the pageant
just because they needed some people to be in a pageant.
Girl messed around and won the pageant. Yes, ended up
having to go to another pageant, and I was like, bitch,
I didn't tign him for this. But saying all that
to say, there were people in this during this time
(29:50):
that had like discussion boards, and what they would do
on the Internet is sit around and talk about girls.
Because I was I was on the older side of
the qualified competitors. A lot of these girls were not
competing past like eighteen or twenty. Once you get to
like eighteen, they put you in a different like in
(30:12):
a different age bracket. Okay, so they have the Junior
miss and then they have the miss and then they
have the misses and.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm like it's too much.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
But I remember people being on these discussion boards and
just talking about all the things they hated about the
girls that were competing.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
And I saw them talking about me.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Who I wasn't a child, but you know, that's still
so young though, that's still yeah, And just understanding that
these grown people are sitting around critiquing children because I
was again, I was one of the older contestants. They
were up in there talking about high school girls. I
was competing against high school girls. Yeah yeah, Like for
(30:54):
y'all to sit up here and be so vocal about
one of these seventeen year old eighteen year old.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Doing is weird.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But that's that's where the beauty standards come from. They
want beautiful to them. It's childlike. And you want to
know how I know what I'm talking about is because
when you go to a lot of those Asian fashion sites,
they're always promoting the women looking hairless and youthful. They're
pulling their skin back, they're getting lots and lots of botox.
(31:22):
They don't want any wrinkles, no hair, no cell you
like anything like that. And so it's just one of
those things where I had learned to like, I just
don't care no more. I'm wholeheartedly at a place where
I really don't care if you don't like how I look.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Hell, I don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So they get caught up in that stuff and yeah,
where's Prada and America's Next Top Model? And home organizations
that run on women starving themselves to be m yep,
because that is the standard.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I mean, they would tell you, don't feed the models.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I don't know how many times I've seen that shirt everywhere,
like people was wearing that shirt religiously.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Don't feed the models because.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
They would rather starve to death than eat a great
and possibly gain a pound.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I guess I have no clue. Well, it's it's also
these women are on display as if they're in a zoo.
That's in a zoo. Don't feed the animals. Why are
we Why are we encouraging this?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
But it's because women aren't worth anything in our society
and so we we always come back to that. But
other other than that, I think the met Gala looks
were you know, they were very uh.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Eccentric. They were there, they were in.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Plato, It's what cam Neton said. They were in platto
girl get out. I thought they were very you know,
they were detailed, they were high fashion, and obviously it's
something that I don't comprehend because my eye doesn't navigate
to death. But if these people want to continue supporting
folks that are every way but in the government, hey y'all.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
So be it.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
There's nothing we can do niggas have been here before.
We're gonna always be here. We're trying our best to
change it. But this is where it's at right now.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, that's what my energy is. Like, I don't I
like fashion. I see some things that I do like,
but I think that why did you go when you knew?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
And then like whether Matt Collen supports money give us
money for a good cause, and it's a lot of
things out.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Here that give money to a good caust are you
there as well? Because I have not seen it.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I haven't seen you showing up, so like, yeah, I
don't know. That's my thing is why were you there?
I don't like the energy behind that, and.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Then saying we're not in agreement with.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
You can't this is the same doesn't work like that.
That's the same stuff I'm talking about with Chris Brown
and Usher. I'm not saying that you can't have a
good time. I'm saying that for you to be outwardly
saying I don't support abusers and rapists and all of
these things, and then you go and spend your money
with them, you spend your time with them, and if
(34:04):
it's not something that you can avoid because clearly if
you live in a food desert and you can't feed
your kids unless you shop at Walmart or you order
something from Amazon. I'm not saying that you're, you know,
adding to it. I'm saying, if you have a choice
to do the right thing and you still do the
wrong thing, you gotta go to hell. And so maybe
(34:27):
that's where that's where I that's where I met with
the met Gallen. Everybody over there can go to Hell.
I don't I don't know them.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
People agree, friends, Yeah, it doesn't matter. But yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
So that's that's all we have for to that stand
of the show. Y'all, Oh my god, that was so
you guys, there were so many hiccups. I don't know
what y'all don't even know. Y'all probably won't even know.
