Episode 78 of She Said It First, Jerrilyn Lake aka Indeskribeabull and Lynee’ Monae kick things off with What Irritated Me the Most This Week, where Jerrilyn vents about getting ambushed by a hating mosquito and Lynee’ goes off on people showing up unprepared for life like it’s a pop quiz. The ladies somehow turn bug bites and bad planning into a sermon on staying ready so you don’t have to get ready, because as Jerrilyn says, “If you’re gonna embarrass yourself, at least rehearse first.”
In Girl, What Happened, the duo dives into Keke Palmer’s new web series Southern Fried Rice, which follows a Korean American girl adopted by a Black family who attends an HBCU. The internet, of course, is in shambles, some calling it cultural appropriation, others calling it creative freedom. Jerrilyn and Lynee’ break it down with their signature mix of humor and honesty, giving Keke her flowers for supporting Black creatives while side-eying the “girl, we didn’t need this” vibes. That conversation spirals beautifully into the episode’s theme: why Black people should be allowed to be mediocre sometimes. From perfection pressure to burnout culture, the hosts preach about giving ourselves permission to miss the mark and still be proud, because, as Lynee’ puts it, “White people been doing it for centuries.”
Finally, Girl Talk widens the lens, moving from creativity to technology and mental health. They have a heartfelt call for men to prioritize therapy during Men’s Mental Health Month — preferably before buying another bottle of Hennessy or pair of Jordans. The ladies tear into the rise of AI artists (“we’re not paying to see a hologram hit a high note”).

Before we get to deep offing what we gotta get into.
We got to start to show how we always doing

So friend, I need to know what irritated you this week.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Girl. I cannot stand no hating ass mosquito girl, go
bet me on my head right, It's okay.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I don't hate nass bug when I feel it that
bite was intentional.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I don't want you to process you know what I'm
saying now.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I'm walking around with a not on my head because
you felt like you was gonna get fifteen minutes of famous.
I covered it up with make up, period, and did
nobody even know you're here? Yeah, I thought you was
gonna get fifteen minutes off me. Tried it and won't

my face.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Now, that's kind of crazy. What now, what were you doing?
Don't ask?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Okay, you're right now, you're doing you're getting my personal
business right because you ain't even don't do that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Don't do that. Okay, I don't like that. I don't
like that.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You know that, So like, don't worry about that the
surround exactly. Just know that it happened, and I didn't
think that that was right. Okay, circumstances to be determined.
All I know is I will be protecting my face
henceforth and wherewithal, notwithstanding hithertofore.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Okay, circumstances allegedly. No, But bir, what irritated you? Friend?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm gonna have to say it. What when you show
up to something unprepared? I don't like when people just
don't know what they do. And I was in a
situation this past week and I just could see it devolved,
you know, like it was falling apart right in front
of my eyes, and I couldn't stop. But it was
like a rain rack And I just wanted to say,
(02:13):
had had y'all had a conversation.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Twenty minutes before that?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Hella, none of this would be happening exactly and it
was one of it was all being filmed.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh no, not being filmed.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yes, so we get to see it when it come out.
Now now now you're in my personal business. Ey, big
Booty the top volume too. What y'all have to check
out our vlogs so y'all can stay.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
In there loop. But anyway we gets into the real road.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
This is very PG if we can say, well, it
might be in C seventeen, but but the vlogs on
YouTube are very much ready. Okay, but yeah, my dad
always says stay ready, so you ain't got to get ready,
and I think everybody needs to put that into practice.
You know, you can't. There are things that happened. Traffic
was bad, I got stuck in you know, there are
lots of things that happen. But I think if we
(03:02):
prepare better, we yeah, we'll show up better. Absolutely yeah.
But anyway, you know, hopping into this first time, you know,
I got some mess to share with you. So you
got you gotta ask me, girl, what happen? Oh my god,
this has been weighing on my soul.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Me up, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Kicky Palmer just recently executive produced a web series called
Southern Fried Rice Okay, and the screenwriter is Nikiah Stevens,
And basically it's the story of a Korean American girl who.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Goes by Coco. She was adopted by a black family
at a young age and she's now.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Attending an HBCU. People are saying it's cultural appropriation. People
are saying that it's tone deaf and we don't really need.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It right now.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
But Kiki came out in response and she said, you know,
she just wants to give young especially black screenwriters, a
chance to get their stories out.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
A lot of times we lack funding for things. Yes,
and so Kiki said, why I got some money. I
know that's right.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
She says, she wanted to give these these people a
space to share their stories. What do you think about
the backlash days or have you seen You've seen the
I've seen clips. I'm just trying to figure out what's
she laying it on thick or was this authentically her?
Because then I have an issue when it's like when
they do I don't like when it's like girl and
then I say likely, like god please, like I don't
(04:20):
like that. But if she is kind of just that's
her natural persona, that is how she is in. I mean,
it's whatever. I don't think we needed a series on
it or a movie.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
This is a movie or a series. This is a
web series.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, I just don't think we needed a series on it.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's different, it's a different lane.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I'm not mad, but I do feel like sometimes I'm
not gonna lie, y'all wonna be mad that I say this.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I feel like black people always mad, I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Slavery, Like I just felt like I too, am very
frustrated often. I mean, I understand, but it's like always
not about this though, yeah always.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I think they probably did take it a little too
far with this, and yeah, I can understand the criticism.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I think we have to make a clear separation between
what is fact and fiction. This is fiction, I know,
grand dude, but we know these people in real life,
and so I think, as you mentioned, I think the
the goal would be to make sure it's done in
a way where it doesn't come off as fetishizing community
(05:17):
or trying to take advantage of fitting in or playing
a caricature and then portraying us in a way that's
not necessarily authentic.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
To who we are.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Hello, because that's how I feel about men who put
on wigs and act like women. You know what, I'm
gonna that stresses me out. I'm gonna look into the
camera when I say this. Black women are low hanging
fruit and the first thing people want to do when
they need to get some views or get some engagement off,
they put on a wig, They down black women, they
roll their nick That's what I'm talking about, Like, is
she doing that? I guess That's what I was trying
(05:46):
to say, is that the person she's given. I think
it's genuinely she she loves Black culture and she wanted
to be included in it because that's how she grew up. Okay,
But I also agree with you that we probably did
not need this seriously, Yeah, I don't think we needed a.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Serious sand that that happens sometimes. Yeah, it's normal and
it is okay.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But if she's saying that she created this because she
was given a black writer a chance, then I'm for it. Well,
I mean that's I think Keiky Palmer has always been
for the culture.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Absolutely, I want to applaud her for.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
As you said, given this opportunity to somebody who probably
would not have it if you know, if she had
to just go and get a grant or something like.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That, or her own or whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
So I do I appreciate Kekey for, you know, keeping
us at the forefront because she could just make her
money and go to down like the rest of them do,
like the rest of them do. Okay, I think she's
actively giving back.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, and I like that.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So that's I guess that's where maybe I'm between a
rock and a hard place with this, Like, no, we
didn't need it, but if it's given a black person
an opportunity, then why not watch it? You know what
I'm saying. And you know what I saw? Okay, So somebody,
I think I saw it on Threads. Somebody said we
need to start And this is in no way shading
the ki of Stevens, the girl who screen wrote.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Fried Rising.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I saw somebody say we need to start celebrating black
mediocrity because white people do it, other ethnicities do it,
and I understand it, and I agree. Really tell me
more because when you say it, I guess the way
you form it makes me be like, yeah, that's like
forgetting a d.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is when people.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Try and it's a plau till a plug or when
they miss the mark, Because how many people have you
seen we see this. You've seen it in corporate, You've
seen it in content creation, You've seen it in every
space imaginable. There's always somebody who's not qualified. Yeah, who
got put there because they uncle know, somebody who out somebody,
or they had more money, or they pulled strings on
(07:41):
the backside, on the back end, And so we always
see that in so many different spaces. And so I
think Black people need to be allowed to fail and
not be the best. But we don't have the messed
up parties that we don't have that luxury like, we
can't fumble, we can't be less than perfect, I'm telling you,
and I think it's time for us to be less
than perfect. Not because not not because I want us
(08:03):
to not try. I want us to understand that it's
okay to not overproduce, and we stretch ourselves so thin. Yeah,
but with these benchmarks that don't even apply to our.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
People, so true, and you know it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I'll piggyback on that and say that you get so
caught up in that try and try and try and
try and try and try and be perfect that when
you actually get where you're going, you're still in the
hamster wheel of going hard, you know what I'm saying,
And I think relax and enjoy because you're like, oh, I.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Need to keep going. I'm almost there. I need it.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And so you find yourself even when you do arrive,
you still going like you trying to, Like you got
two followers, you know what I mean, You're still working
like that. And it's nothing wrong with like grinding and stuff,
but also like not celebrating yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I mean. Kevin Stage was here and literally we had
to dig in that ass.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, we had to sit here and really get on
him because he was doing cav did about ten interviews
when he was here. He got the same shirt on,
so you gonna go to his page and look he
would same cream shirt. He did about ten interviews while
he was here in Atlanta, and we really had to
just stop him and tell him you are doing a
great job. We asked him, like, do you take time
to give yourself flowers? What do he says while we
(09:14):
make men outs?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You know why we make mens ount like that? I
tell you why I make men stout like that. I'm
not saying no, no, but it's just it's it doesn't
register to them. Yeah don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
And even if it's allegorical flowers, okay, they don't think
that they even need to celebrate themselves.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And I think that everybody needs to do that. Absolutely please.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I'm saying, your your accomplishments and relish in that for
just to make especially when you're at that magnitude. But
you see what I'm saying about that hampster will, That
man has arrived and arrived again and arrived again. You
know what I'm saying, Girl, we ain't seen all that
cameras like that is coming from the social media world.
keV on stage is hands down the artist working jah
stand up comedian everous social media like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
This man is employing people.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm telling you, and changing the black community, the comedy world.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
He is taking over a male and female.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
He's not even being selective. He's like, you're funny, I
want to work with you. Let's get you on stage,
and like, oh my god, it's just a beautiful thing.
But even somebody of that magnitude is still on the
hamster wheel of just I gotta keep going, I gotta
keep going. I gotta keep reaching it, not even taking
time to just bast in all the things you work
so hard for, because you work for so you don't
even a chance to enjoy it because you're still out
(10:33):
here running around.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Trying to do everything else. Like I'm still not.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
There yet and so totally agree with you. And that's
not even mediocre. N He's working his buns off. But
I tell you what, Drelan, I'm not celebrating Tyrone in
that booth giving a high sixteen at his cousin's place.
That turn me yup, got the syrup in my cut?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
No, it's up. Put some little little on his.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Butt, get out, and I'll be wondering who who scheduled
them for studio time, who authorized who took their money
and said, you know what, we got two hours for you,
and I need both of your parents to sign it
before you come up in here next time, because I'm
not going. But no to the original point, release yourself,
(11:26):
Black community from the shackles of perfection. Okay, I'm not
saying don't try, don't put your best foot forward. But
if you did your best and you feel a little
bit short, you did your best, You did your best.
You did and celebrate that you showed up for something
and case endpoint I had I got this role and
Lenney is helping me read lines. And first of all,
(11:46):
I didn't realize. I think she's a great friend, but
let's be clear, I realized how good of a friend
she was for real in real time, as something as
friendship was actively being displayed, because we was up till
midnight last night studying for a roll and I was
nerve wrecked because I just I was like, there's too
many lines.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm not gonna be able to remember.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
But she was like, Oh, we're gonna break it down
like this, da da, We're gonna do this part first.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
This, how we're gonna do this. And by the time
we got done, like body, we got a big bank,
take little bank. You came through all of the lines,
all of them. And that's like, I'm doing the work.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I can sit back and say, Okay, you know what
I did my bestiness and if they if I go
in there and they decide that I'm not the best
for the role, I don't need to feel bad because
I still did my bid and I accomplished something that I.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Didn't know I could do.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah, there we go with that yes, And speaking of
speaking of art and accomplishing things, child, we got to
talk about how AI is.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Taken over the industry.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You know, they have an AI artist now who's charting
on the Billboard. They're being signed to record labels. The
artist's name is Zanaya Monaue. I've seen her and she
just signed a multimillion dollar deal with Hollwood Media. So
she's the first AI artist that we've seen who has
the first a artist that we've seen who's made recognizable
(13:07):
strides in the in the music industry. And so the
person behind it is a thirty one year old writer
named Alicia Jones, and she says all the words of
hers but she doesn't sing or produce any music, which
is interesting to me because girl, you could have just
been a songwriter. That part, Why did you need to
create a person? But go ahead, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Let you finish what she says.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
She sees her as an extension of herself when she
looks at her as a real person. And so a
lot of artists have come out and said we don't
want this, like yeah, out about it. But Silper producer
Timbla said he started working with some and so I
think you know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I don't. I don't see anything.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Wrong with using AI for what it was originally intended
to do, which was increased officience and actually helped people absolutely.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
But now I think you are it's becoming weird. It's
so weird, friend, and I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I know you as are like you are artists like
and specific songs and if you haven't seen it, check
my girl out.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I can go to their instagram check out some of
those songs she created.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Kill y'all, Okay, but I just hate to see artists
who have spent years writing music, perfecting music. We had
Kira up here Karad and she's doing poetry, but she
talked about how she takes years to perfect it before
she even.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Put like stuff out. So you have people who.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Are really using their actual talent, god given, God given talents.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They're brained.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
They're like, oh, let me go back, let me perfect that.
And then you have somebody who can write album in
twenty seconds. That's crazy. And getting signed, now, that's one
thing to create this song, but get it signs is weird.
Saying that it's worth mold ti million dollars, that's crazy.
One million we're going to give you lots of millions
of dollars to continue replicating this.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh my god, that's terrifying to me. It is.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I'm not afraid of being replaced by any robot because
I genuinely think people like me and you who do
this for a living, there is something about you that
makes people come to your page. Yeah, there's no robot
that can replicate what you do, fact saying, there's just you.
It doesn't it's not gonna work. And so I don't
fear being replaced, but I do think it's creepy even
(15:12):
as far as some people have gone with these these
AI videos like why do we need to know what
Martin Luther King would think about?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh my god, that is that's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And I mean they got him cursing and doing it's
like just disrespecting our culture and now thank you, like
just things that we you know, take pride and we
stand behind, like just to diminish it into him kirking
and knocking things over and now he's a ghetto Martin
Luther King and everybody just left and stop laughing at stuff.
I want you to start paying attention to what you
(15:42):
laughing at, because you are allowing other people on the outside.
You want to know why they think what they think,
why they say the things that they said. You thought
it was hilarious, you thought it was Now they laughing
at us and you're like, oh no, no, now you
up in arms. But you was in the comments, cracking up,
reposting it, adding it to your stories and everything. So
be careful what you put out there because people are
(16:03):
always watching and they're mimicking whatever we think. Yeah, half
for the time, I think the word that that really
brought it home from me.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You said it was diminished.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, because I think to like to take words that
have been created by a computer and put it to music,
and the song the instrumental has been replicated using AI
and yeah, it's like it's diminishing the work people used
to have to be in the studio for hours on end,
layer ring vocals. Do you know have you ever listened
(16:34):
to a Beyonce track without the music?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I have? And it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Hey, I can't do that, ken they because I'm concerned
it ain't gonna be like what I mean. There's a
human element to things that just cannot be removed. People
are not going to pay to see Zanaya money the
way they pay us a Beyonce. You can't see her.
How we're gonna pay to see her? Exactly like we
(17:00):
can't see her. You're never going to a concert. I mean,
the most they gonna do is with the hologround.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Put it on them. They're gonna do a little concerts.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay, And now that this next slide I just try.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I wish I would pay to see somebody on a
slide show. Now that's inside Haliza. Yeah, I'm I'm good
on the AI stuff. I don't like I said, I
don't mind if it increases efficiency. I use it sometimes
if I need to quickly, Like I explain this to
somebody the other day. AI for me is not to
do my work for me. It's to help me organize
my thoughts so I can do my work more quickly,
(17:36):
so I can get done what I need to get done.
Because I'm one of them people. I got a million
things going on in my head at any given time. Yes,
she do, and I she really do. She always just
keep going and going, going and going. I'm like, when
you're gonna stop and take the God every time I
turn around, here she go. But she's not exaggerating and
(17:58):
I promise you. If I don't organize what going on
up here, it's not gonna come out right. No, baby,
I have to organize it in my brain.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And so I love AI for that.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But I do think on top of the fact that
it uses in a crazy amount of water and people
in you know, low income areas, like places in Memphis
where I'm from, are having are singing direct results from
over use of AI, I think, you know, we got
to use it in moderation, and you know we can't
allow this to ruin our planet. Yeah, baby, if we
(18:28):
got to go back to thinking for ourselves, God forbid,
God forbid God. But maybe we just gotta I don't know,
use like read it. Yeah, people are not ready for that.
This allows those who don't deserve to be there to
have a way to be there.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And that's scary, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Like now, anybody can do it. You know, it doesn't
take talent. It really can take. You can mimic somebody's
whole song and be like, I like this Kilane song,
create me a song similar. You haven't done anything, baby.
If somebody do that, you haven't something. I road I'm
gonna see you in court throw me off over there,
(19:10):
just saying Kilane like, okay, we get it.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You love her, and I come pick up your clothes right?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And why in another thing, since we're on the subject, Khani,
I appreciate the music, girl, but I'll be damned what
your clothes will be outside of the trash back.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You better come get it on fire, bright eye.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Because folding it up, folding them close up was wild.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Can take the farther up I was.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I would be giving angela basket from waiting to hoxtil
the way she ripped them.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And now my friend in the loop, so.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You know what happened, you know, because my friend didn't
watch waiting to wixtail.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
But now, oh my god, now get it all up
out of here, Okay, set it on fire in the car,
pick it up that way.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Fight here, Colanny, got got ya out here in La
La Land. Your things will be on the curb if
you don't want out here. But for the trash people come,
it'll be down at the city.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Waste. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
But speaking of waste, November is National Men's Health Month,
my guys.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I had to get that sure.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I had to get that out though. I had to
be because my bad.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm sorry I had to get that on off.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
But no, November is mental men's mental health month, and
I could have swore that it was June.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
But whatever, another inconsistency among them. Okay, but no, I'm
just kidding.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
No, seriously, we talk about me in all the time,
and a lot of time we you know, we go
kind of hard on them. But unfortunately, twenty four year
old Dallas cowboy Marshawn Kneeland died by a parent self
inflicted gunshot won after police chase. His girlfriend was aware
that he was struggling with mental illness and she let
them know that, you know, he had said some uh
(20:52):
some alarming things he had texted her, and so unfortunately
he did to come to you know, that that mental
health issue. And I think that there are just not
enough safe spaces for men, and I think that men
need to be the ones to create them.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I don't think it's gonna come from women at all.
I think men have to get more comfortable with having
those uncomfortable conversations without feeling like they gonna be triggered
or they don't want to go there, they don't want
to have that conversation like it's up to y'all to
create that space. Because one thing I can tell you
about women is that we create safe spaces all the time,
like women each other, Yeah, all the time. Like we
(21:29):
could just create community under posts. You see it, under
your posts, under my post.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Like girl, you changed my life.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We got like dms of people just saying like they've
been going through like depression and just like different things
in how our podcast has helped them through it and
like helped them maintain. So women can't create community out
of anything because we just have a sisterhood. And I
challenge you guys to create the same thing for yourselves,
like talking to one another. When you're a friend, pick
(21:54):
up the phone and he like you, like, you know,
he going through something. You ask him if he good,
and he like, yeah, I'm straight. I'm all right, I'm
gonna be. I'm a bi that deserves a little bit
more investigative, Okay, Right, you know what I'm saying. That
is him fighting through You're like, yeah, you're right, you're
gonna be. That's how y'all y'all go on to talk
about football.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Is that the cure? Raggedy Saints? Right?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
One but three games, It's scenes, and y'all know I
I saint it like, yeah, so I think that it's
it's sad first of all. Yeah, that's just the whole
say it's it's terrible because he's not the only one.
And I like, it's not that I don't want to
create a safe space for men. And I'm not saying,
oh me, I need to do this they selves because
I don't want to do it. I'm saying this because
(22:38):
as a man, I don't know what you need.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I don't know what you lack. I don't know what
you're looking for. You have to be able to create
this space over here. Yeah, your friends too, Okay, I
will be a safe space for you.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Always.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Also have to have other safe spaces because if you
looking to me for the only time that you can
be vulnerable, you're treating me like a therapist.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
And that's not my job.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I want you to have a therapist. I want you
to go to church. And it's so too heavy.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Sorry, I turn it around. Look they do it. Turn
it around. Don't you turn that. Don't you turn it?
Please insert the.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Round.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Okay, don't tend me with a good time, because I'll
take it.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I'll get up at it. But yeah, like I think
it do be kind of heavy, and I like, I
want them to know that you can.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
There's a way to do this there.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
And you know, I'm not trying to be insensitive because
people are like, oh, well, therapy is expensive. I know,
but you also got your favorite Cowboys jersey.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Y'all drink gallons of Hennessee.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yalloums okay every week? Go to the liquid. That's expensive.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It is smoking weed every day. It's expensive.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Y'all got you want the newest Jordan's. You want the
ladies clothes. Y'all want gold chains, gold sea go everything.
Getting that haircut all the time is expensive. Like, it's
all expensive, y'all. Just picking choes where you want to
put your money to you don't really want to.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You want to do everything on.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The outside to look like you're okay instead of like
spending the actual money to work on the inside to
make sure you're okay. So you can put your money
in therapy if you look at where your money is
actually going. Eating Uber East every day because you don't
know how to cook.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Now, hold on, it's expensive. Oh I'm sorry for that.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I can, okay.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
But she'd be male.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I see you at the farmers market. You made that
concoction of juice with.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
That up, because that just was the list.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Shit talked about my juice, but that was banging that
The juice is me banging.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Okay, Yeah, but I think it's important.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I think it's important people to do that. I mean,
just we want you to prioritize it. Thank instead of
saying women need to be a safe space, women need
to do this, just prioritize your mental health. Thank you
for asking you right now today. Please, when I see
you doing it, I promise I'm gonna fall right.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
On in line.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Absolutely, and we can be a safe space. But what
you're not going to do is dump off on me
every chance you go through something. You need friends, and
you need a therapist. Okay, Dole doubled on that.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
So I think that they need to create their own spaces.
And speaking of our spaces, we just had some elections
around the country. Not everybody voted, but there was some
very key elections happening here in Georgia. We were voting
for things like Public Service Commission judges and things like that,
and so we had some really big wins in New York, Virginia, Georgia, Jersey, Detroit,
(25:36):
and even Mississippi. And so yeah, Georgia was able to
get two blue seats in the House.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So I mean, you know, it's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
The government has been shut down. What do you think
is one thing that you would want to ask for
from your public officials because you know.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
They work for us.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
And I think you know tens the season of giving
and if you were gonna give me something with me,
goddamn break, that's what I want from break me off
a piece of But no, sir, I'm dead, actually serious.
I feel you give me a break. It's just feel
like every time I turn around, it's something else, and
(26:17):
it's only affecting minorities. None of these things that are
happening is affecting anyone who's making billions of dollars or
even millions of dollars when people decide not to sign bills.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I e.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
While the government was shut down and the Democrats was
trying to save health care, but then the Republicans rebutted
and said, hey, we'll just shut down the government and
not give any food stamps or snaps to anybody, especially
the kids.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
And so you put the.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Democrats between a rock and a hard place where now
they sign the bill, So now the government employees can
go back.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Now you guys have snap. But now when it's a
new fiscal year.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
We have to worry about health care and it's only
going to affect those who are on Medicaid.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
That's it. They're not people that are not well off,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Because when people hear the word minority, they think black
and brown people.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
It's not minority, it's poor people. It's poor.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
The government and billionaires hate poor people, which is why
they don't pay you a livable waves if you're working
at places like Walmart, Fed Eggs, Amazon, fast food places, restaurants,
we know this. Restaurants don't even pay their servers. I
think it's like I'm gonna says waves. So the problem
is not trans people. The problem is not grants. The
(27:24):
problem is not mother single mothers. The problem is Mark Zuckerberg,
Jeff Bezos. Yeah, okay, right here in the camera so
you can see me. I know you probably ain't gonna
see this little rink. It ain't by.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Sending to them, but go to head and shut up
talking to shut up.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But no, seriously, Frank, I want a break. Oh my god,
what was you asked for? Honestly, I'm going to ask
them to shut up talking to me. I'm going to
ask them to go to hell, honestly, because I don't
think it would be different if I were talking to
or dealing with a child. Yeah, I'm dealing with grown
adults who are actively intentionally inflicting harm on people maliciously
(28:08):
cannot defend themselves.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I want you to go to hell. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, And I think you know what, I think that's
probably the end of it. I think we could wrap
that with a boat and put it under your Christmas tree.
You hear me?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay, Now listen, We're gonna go ahead it come to
this out Okay.

one Podcast on the Urban one Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yes, ma'am, we're back in action now.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Before we get to deep offing what we gotta get into.
We got to start to show how we always doing
this show. Yeah, because some things was irritating me this week.
So friend, I need to know what irritated you this week.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Girl. I cannot stand no hating ass mosquito girl, go
bet me on my head right, It's okay.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I don't hate nass bug when I feel it that
bite was intentional.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I don't want you to process you know what I'm
saying now.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I'm walking around with a not on my head because
you felt like you was gonna get fifteen minutes of famous.
I covered it up with make up, period, and did
nobody even know you're here? Yeah, I thought you was
gonna get fifteen minutes off me. Tried it and won't
and don't period. I've had a bug bite me on
my face.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Now, that's kind of crazy. What now, what were you doing?
Don't ask?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Okay, you're right now, you're doing you're getting my personal
business right because you ain't even don't do that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Don't do that. Okay, I don't like that. I don't
like that.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You know that, So like, don't worry about that the
surround exactly. Just know that it happened, and I didn't
think that that was right. Okay, circumstances to be determined.
All I know is I will be protecting my face
henceforth and wherewithal, notwithstanding hithertofore.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Okay, circumstances allegedly. No, But bir, what irritated you? Friend?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm gonna have to say it. What when you show
up to something unprepared? I don't like when people just
don't know what they do. And I was in a
situation this past week and I just could see it devolved,
you know, like it was falling apart right in front
of my eyes, and I couldn't stop. But it was
like a rain rack And I just wanted to say,
(02:13):
had had y'all had a conversation.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Twenty minutes before that?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Hella, none of this would be happening exactly and it
was one of it was all being filmed.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh no, not being filmed.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yes, so we get to see it when it come out.
Now now now you're in my personal business. Ey, big
Booty the top volume too. What y'all have to check
out our vlogs so y'all can stay.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
In there loop. But anyway we gets into the real road.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
This is very PG if we can say, well, it
might be in C seventeen, but but the vlogs on
YouTube are very much ready. Okay, but yeah, my dad
always says stay ready, so you ain't got to get ready,
and I think everybody needs to put that into practice.
You know, you can't. There are things that happened. Traffic
was bad, I got stuck in you know, there are
lots of things that happen. But I think if we
(03:02):
prepare better, we yeah, we'll show up better. Absolutely yeah.
But anyway, you know, hopping into this first time, you know,
I got some mess to share with you. So you
got you gotta ask me, girl, what happen? Oh my god,
this has been weighing on my soul.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Me up, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Kicky Palmer just recently executive produced a web series called
Southern Fried Rice Okay, and the screenwriter is Nikiah Stevens,
And basically it's the story of a Korean American girl who.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Goes by Coco. She was adopted by a black family
at a young age and she's now.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Attending an HBCU. People are saying it's cultural appropriation. People
are saying that it's tone deaf and we don't really need.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It right now.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
But Kiki came out in response and she said, you know,
she just wants to give young especially black screenwriters, a
chance to get their stories out.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
A lot of times we lack funding for things. Yes,
and so Kiki said, why I got some money. I
know that's right.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
She says, she wanted to give these these people a
space to share their stories. What do you think about
the backlash days or have you seen You've seen the
I've seen clips. I'm just trying to figure out what's
she laying it on thick or was this authentically her?
Because then I have an issue when it's like when
they do I don't like when it's like girl and
then I say likely, like god please, like I don't
(04:20):
like that. But if she is kind of just that's
her natural persona, that is how she is in. I mean,
it's whatever. I don't think we needed a series on
it or a movie.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
This is a movie or a series. This is a
web series.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, I just don't think we needed a series on it.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's different, it's a different lane.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I'm not mad, but I do feel like sometimes I'm
not gonna lie, y'all wonna be mad that I say this.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I feel like black people always mad, I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Slavery, Like I just felt like I too, am very
frustrated often. I mean, I understand, but it's like always
not about this though, yeah always.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I think they probably did take it a little too
far with this, and yeah, I can understand the criticism.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I think we have to make a clear separation between
what is fact and fiction. This is fiction, I know,
grand dude, but we know these people in real life,
and so I think, as you mentioned, I think the
the goal would be to make sure it's done in
a way where it doesn't come off as fetishizing community
(05:17):
or trying to take advantage of fitting in or playing
a caricature and then portraying us in a way that's
not necessarily authentic.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
To who we are.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Hello, because that's how I feel about men who put
on wigs and act like women. You know what, I'm
gonna that stresses me out. I'm gonna look into the
camera when I say this. Black women are low hanging
fruit and the first thing people want to do when
they need to get some views or get some engagement off,
they put on a wig, They down black women, they
roll their nick That's what I'm talking about, Like, is
she doing that? I guess That's what I was trying
(05:46):
to say, is that the person she's given. I think
it's genuinely she she loves Black culture and she wanted
to be included in it because that's how she grew up. Okay,
But I also agree with you that we probably did
not need this seriously, Yeah, I don't think we needed a.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Serious sand that that happens sometimes. Yeah, it's normal and
it is okay.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But if she's saying that she created this because she
was given a black writer a chance, then I'm for it. Well,
I mean that's I think Keiky Palmer has always been
for the culture.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Absolutely, I want to applaud her for.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
As you said, given this opportunity to somebody who probably
would not have it if you know, if she had
to just go and get a grant or something like.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That, or her own or whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
So I do I appreciate Kekey for, you know, keeping
us at the forefront because she could just make her
money and go to down like the rest of them do,
like the rest of them do. Okay, I think she's
actively giving back.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, and I like that.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So that's I guess that's where maybe I'm between a
rock and a hard place with this, Like, no, we
didn't need it, but if it's given a black person
an opportunity, then why not watch it? You know what
I'm saying. And you know what I saw? Okay, So somebody,
I think I saw it on Threads. Somebody said we
need to start And this is in no way shading
the ki of Stevens, the girl who screen wrote.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Fried Rising.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I saw somebody say we need to start celebrating black
mediocrity because white people do it, other ethnicities do it,
and I understand it, and I agree. Really tell me
more because when you say it, I guess the way
you form it makes me be like, yeah, that's like
forgetting a d.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is when people.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Try and it's a plau till a plug or when
they miss the mark, Because how many people have you
seen we see this. You've seen it in corporate, You've
seen it in content creation, You've seen it in every
space imaginable. There's always somebody who's not qualified. Yeah, who
got put there because they uncle know, somebody who out somebody,
or they had more money, or they pulled strings on
(07:41):
the backside, on the back end, And so we always
see that in so many different spaces. And so I
think Black people need to be allowed to fail and
not be the best. But we don't have the messed
up parties that we don't have that luxury like, we
can't fumble, we can't be less than perfect, I'm telling you,
and I think it's time for us to be less
than perfect. Not because not not because I want us
(08:03):
to not try. I want us to understand that it's
okay to not overproduce, and we stretch ourselves so thin. Yeah,
but with these benchmarks that don't even apply to our.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
People, so true, and you know it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I'll piggyback on that and say that you get so
caught up in that try and try and try and
try and try and try and be perfect that when
you actually get where you're going, you're still in the
hamster wheel of going hard, you know what I'm saying,
And I think relax and enjoy because you're like, oh, I.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Need to keep going. I'm almost there. I need it.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And so you find yourself even when you do arrive,
you still going like you trying to, Like you got
two followers, you know what I mean, You're still working
like that. And it's nothing wrong with like grinding and stuff,
but also like not celebrating yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I mean. Kevin Stage was here and literally we had
to dig in that ass.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, we had to sit here and really get on
him because he was doing cav did about ten interviews
when he was here. He got the same shirt on,
so you gonna go to his page and look he
would same cream shirt. He did about ten interviews while
he was here in Atlanta, and we really had to
just stop him and tell him you are doing a
great job. We asked him, like, do you take time
to give yourself flowers? What do he says while we
(09:14):
make men outs?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You know why we make mens ount like that? I
tell you why I make men stout like that. I'm
not saying no, no, but it's just it's it doesn't
register to them. Yeah don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
And even if it's allegorical flowers, okay, they don't think
that they even need to celebrate themselves.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And I think that everybody needs to do that. Absolutely please.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I'm saying, your your accomplishments and relish in that for
just to make especially when you're at that magnitude. But
you see what I'm saying about that hampster will, That
man has arrived and arrived again and arrived again. You
know what I'm saying, Girl, we ain't seen all that
cameras like that is coming from the social media world.
keV on stage is hands down the artist working jah
stand up comedian everous social media like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
This man is employing people.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm telling you, and changing the black community, the comedy world.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
He is taking over a male and female.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
He's not even being selective. He's like, you're funny, I
want to work with you. Let's get you on stage,
and like, oh my god, it's just a beautiful thing.
But even somebody of that magnitude is still on the
hamster wheel of just I gotta keep going, I gotta
keep going. I gotta keep reaching it, not even taking
time to just bast in all the things you work
so hard for, because you work for so you don't
even a chance to enjoy it because you're still out
(10:33):
here running around.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Trying to do everything else. Like I'm still not.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
There yet and so totally agree with you. And that's
not even mediocre. N He's working his buns off. But
I tell you what, Drelan, I'm not celebrating Tyrone in
that booth giving a high sixteen at his cousin's place.
That turn me yup, got the syrup in my cut?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
No, it's up. Put some little little on his.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Butt, get out, and I'll be wondering who who scheduled
them for studio time, who authorized who took their money
and said, you know what, we got two hours for you,
and I need both of your parents to sign it
before you come up in here next time, because I'm
not going. But no to the original point, release yourself,
(11:26):
Black community from the shackles of perfection. Okay, I'm not
saying don't try, don't put your best foot forward. But
if you did your best and you feel a little
bit short, you did your best, You did your best.
You did and celebrate that you showed up for something
and case endpoint I had I got this role and
Lenney is helping me read lines. And first of all,
(11:46):
I didn't realize. I think she's a great friend, but
let's be clear, I realized how good of a friend
she was for real in real time, as something as
friendship was actively being displayed, because we was up till
midnight last night studying for a roll and I was
nerve wrecked because I just I was like, there's too
many lines.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm not gonna be able to remember.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
But she was like, Oh, we're gonna break it down
like this, da da, We're gonna do this part first.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
This, how we're gonna do this. And by the time
we got done, like body, we got a big bank,
take little bank. You came through all of the lines,
all of them. And that's like, I'm doing the work.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I can sit back and say, Okay, you know what
I did my bestiness and if they if I go
in there and they decide that I'm not the best
for the role, I don't need to feel bad because
I still did my bid and I accomplished something that I.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Didn't know I could do.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah, there we go with that yes, And speaking of
speaking of art and accomplishing things, child, we got to
talk about how AI is.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Taken over the industry.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You know, they have an AI artist now who's charting
on the Billboard. They're being signed to record labels. The
artist's name is Zanaya Monaue. I've seen her and she
just signed a multimillion dollar deal with Hollwood Media. So
she's the first AI artist that we've seen who has
the first a artist that we've seen who's made recognizable
(13:07):
strides in the in the music industry. And so the
person behind it is a thirty one year old writer
named Alicia Jones, and she says all the words of
hers but she doesn't sing or produce any music, which
is interesting to me because girl, you could have just
been a songwriter. That part, Why did you need to
create a person? But go ahead, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Let you finish what she says.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
She sees her as an extension of herself when she
looks at her as a real person. And so a
lot of artists have come out and said we don't
want this, like yeah, out about it. But Silper producer
Timbla said he started working with some and so I
think you know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I don't. I don't see anything.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Wrong with using AI for what it was originally intended
to do, which was increased officience and actually helped people absolutely.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
But now I think you are it's becoming weird. It's
so weird, friend, and I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I know you as are like you are artists like
and specific songs and if you haven't seen it, check
my girl out.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I can go to their instagram check out some of
those songs she created.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Kill y'all, Okay, but I just hate to see artists
who have spent years writing music, perfecting music. We had
Kira up here Karad and she's doing poetry, but she
talked about how she takes years to perfect it before
she even.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Put like stuff out. So you have people who.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Are really using their actual talent, god given, God given talents.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They're brained.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
They're like, oh, let me go back, let me perfect that.
And then you have somebody who can write album in
twenty seconds. That's crazy. And getting signed, now, that's one
thing to create this song, but get it signs is weird.
Saying that it's worth mold ti million dollars, that's crazy.
One million we're going to give you lots of millions
of dollars to continue replicating this.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh my god, that's terrifying to me. It is.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I'm not afraid of being replaced by any robot because
I genuinely think people like me and you who do
this for a living, there is something about you that
makes people come to your page. Yeah, there's no robot
that can replicate what you do, fact saying, there's just you.
It doesn't it's not gonna work. And so I don't
fear being replaced, but I do think it's creepy even
(15:12):
as far as some people have gone with these these
AI videos like why do we need to know what
Martin Luther King would think about?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh my god, that is that's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And I mean they got him cursing and doing it's
like just disrespecting our culture and now thank you, like
just things that we you know, take pride and we
stand behind, like just to diminish it into him kirking
and knocking things over and now he's a ghetto Martin
Luther King and everybody just left and stop laughing at stuff.
I want you to start paying attention to what you
(15:42):
laughing at, because you are allowing other people on the outside.
You want to know why they think what they think,
why they say the things that they said. You thought
it was hilarious, you thought it was Now they laughing
at us and you're like, oh no, no, now you
up in arms. But you was in the comments, cracking up,
reposting it, adding it to your stories and everything. So
be careful what you put out there because people are
(16:03):
always watching and they're mimicking whatever we think. Yeah, half
for the time, I think the word that that really
brought it home from me.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You said it was diminished.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, because I think to like to take words that
have been created by a computer and put it to music,
and the song the instrumental has been replicated using AI
and yeah, it's like it's diminishing the work people used
to have to be in the studio for hours on end,
layer ring vocals. Do you know have you ever listened
(16:34):
to a Beyonce track without the music?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I have? And it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Hey, I can't do that, ken they because I'm concerned
it ain't gonna be like what I mean. There's a
human element to things that just cannot be removed. People
are not going to pay to see Zanaya money the
way they pay us a Beyonce. You can't see her.
How we're gonna pay to see her? Exactly like we
(17:00):
can't see her. You're never going to a concert. I mean,
the most they gonna do is with the hologround.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Put it on them. They're gonna do a little concerts.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay, And now that this next slide I just try.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I wish I would pay to see somebody on a
slide show. Now that's inside Haliza. Yeah, I'm I'm good
on the AI stuff. I don't like I said, I
don't mind if it increases efficiency. I use it sometimes
if I need to quickly, Like I explain this to
somebody the other day. AI for me is not to
do my work for me. It's to help me organize
my thoughts so I can do my work more quickly,
(17:36):
so I can get done what I need to get done.
Because I'm one of them people. I got a million
things going on in my head at any given time. Yes,
she do, and I she really do. She always just
keep going and going, going and going. I'm like, when
you're gonna stop and take the God every time I
turn around, here she go. But she's not exaggerating and
(17:58):
I promise you. If I don't organize what going on
up here, it's not gonna come out right. No, baby,
I have to organize it in my brain.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And so I love AI for that.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But I do think on top of the fact that
it uses in a crazy amount of water and people
in you know, low income areas, like places in Memphis
where I'm from, are having are singing direct results from
over use of AI, I think, you know, we got
to use it in moderation, and you know we can't
allow this to ruin our planet. Yeah, baby, if we
(18:28):
got to go back to thinking for ourselves, God forbid,
God forbid God. But maybe we just gotta I don't know,
use like read it. Yeah, people are not ready for that.
This allows those who don't deserve to be there to
have a way to be there.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And that's scary, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Like now, anybody can do it. You know, it doesn't
take talent. It really can take. You can mimic somebody's
whole song and be like, I like this Kilane song,
create me a song similar. You haven't done anything, baby.
If somebody do that, you haven't something. I road I'm
gonna see you in court throw me off over there,
(19:10):
just saying Kilane like, okay, we get it.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You love her, and I come pick up your clothes right?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And why in another thing, since we're on the subject, Khani,
I appreciate the music, girl, but I'll be damned what
your clothes will be outside of the trash back.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You better come get it on fire, bright eye.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Because folding it up, folding them close up was wild.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Can take the farther up I was.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I would be giving angela basket from waiting to hoxtil
the way she ripped them.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And now my friend in the loop, so.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You know what happened, you know, because my friend didn't
watch waiting to wixtail.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
But now, oh my god, now get it all up
out of here, Okay, set it on fire in the car,
pick it up that way.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Fight here, Colanny, got got ya out here in La
La Land. Your things will be on the curb if
you don't want out here. But for the trash people come,
it'll be down at the city.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Waste. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
But speaking of waste, November is National Men's Health Month,
my guys.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I had to get that sure.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I had to get that out though. I had to
be because my bad.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm sorry I had to get that on off.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
But no, November is mental men's mental health month, and
I could have swore that it was June.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
But whatever, another inconsistency among them. Okay, but no, I'm
just kidding.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
No, seriously, we talk about me in all the time,
and a lot of time we you know, we go
kind of hard on them. But unfortunately, twenty four year
old Dallas cowboy Marshawn Kneeland died by a parent self
inflicted gunshot won after police chase. His girlfriend was aware
that he was struggling with mental illness and she let
them know that, you know, he had said some uh
(20:52):
some alarming things he had texted her, and so unfortunately
he did to come to you know, that that mental
health issue. And I think that there are just not
enough safe spaces for men, and I think that men
need to be the ones to create them.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I don't think it's gonna come from women at all.
I think men have to get more comfortable with having
those uncomfortable conversations without feeling like they gonna be triggered
or they don't want to go there, they don't want
to have that conversation like it's up to y'all to
create that space. Because one thing I can tell you
about women is that we create safe spaces all the time,
like women each other, Yeah, all the time. Like we
(21:29):
could just create community under posts. You see it, under
your posts, under my post.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Like girl, you changed my life.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We got like dms of people just saying like they've
been going through like depression and just like different things
in how our podcast has helped them through it and
like helped them maintain. So women can't create community out
of anything because we just have a sisterhood. And I
challenge you guys to create the same thing for yourselves,
like talking to one another. When you're a friend, pick
(21:54):
up the phone and he like you, like, you know,
he going through something. You ask him if he good,
and he like, yeah, I'm straight. I'm all right, I'm
gonna be. I'm a bi that deserves a little bit
more investigative, Okay, Right, you know what I'm saying. That
is him fighting through You're like, yeah, you're right, you're
gonna be. That's how y'all y'all go on to talk
about football.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Is that the cure? Raggedy Saints? Right?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
One but three games, It's scenes, and y'all know I
I saint it like, yeah, so I think that it's
it's sad first of all. Yeah, that's just the whole
say it's it's terrible because he's not the only one.
And I like, it's not that I don't want to
create a safe space for men. And I'm not saying,
oh me, I need to do this they selves because
I don't want to do it. I'm saying this because
(22:38):
as a man, I don't know what you need.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I don't know what you lack. I don't know what
you're looking for. You have to be able to create
this space over here. Yeah, your friends too, Okay, I
will be a safe space for you.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Always.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Also have to have other safe spaces because if you
looking to me for the only time that you can
be vulnerable, you're treating me like a therapist.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
And that's not my job.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I want you to have a therapist. I want you
to go to church. And it's so too heavy.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Sorry, I turn it around. Look they do it. Turn
it around. Don't you turn that. Don't you turn it?
Please insert the.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Round.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Okay, don't tend me with a good time, because I'll
take it.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I'll get up at it. But yeah, like I think
it do be kind of heavy, and I like, I
want them to know that you can.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
There's a way to do this there.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
And you know, I'm not trying to be insensitive because
people are like, oh, well, therapy is expensive. I know,
but you also got your favorite Cowboys jersey.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Y'all drink gallons of Hennessee.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yalloums okay every week? Go to the liquid. That's expensive.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It is smoking weed every day. It's expensive.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Y'all got you want the newest Jordan's. You want the
ladies clothes. Y'all want gold chains, gold sea go everything.
Getting that haircut all the time is expensive. Like, it's
all expensive, y'all. Just picking choes where you want to
put your money to you don't really want to.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You want to do everything on.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The outside to look like you're okay instead of like
spending the actual money to work on the inside to
make sure you're okay. So you can put your money
in therapy if you look at where your money is
actually going. Eating Uber East every day because you don't
know how to cook.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Now, hold on, it's expensive. Oh I'm sorry for that.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I can, okay.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
But she'd be male.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I see you at the farmers market. You made that
concoction of juice with.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
That up, because that just was the list.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Shit talked about my juice, but that was banging that
The juice is me banging.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Okay, Yeah, but I think it's important.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I think it's important people to do that. I mean,
just we want you to prioritize it. Thank instead of
saying women need to be a safe space, women need
to do this, just prioritize your mental health. Thank you
for asking you right now today. Please, when I see
you doing it, I promise I'm gonna fall right.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
On in line.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Absolutely, and we can be a safe space. But what
you're not going to do is dump off on me
every chance you go through something. You need friends, and
you need a therapist. Okay, Dole doubled on that.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
So I think that they need to create their own spaces.
And speaking of our spaces, we just had some elections
around the country. Not everybody voted, but there was some
very key elections happening here in Georgia. We were voting
for things like Public Service Commission judges and things like that,
and so we had some really big wins in New York, Virginia, Georgia, Jersey, Detroit,
(25:36):
and even Mississippi. And so yeah, Georgia was able to
get two blue seats in the House.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So I mean, you know, it's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
The government has been shut down. What do you think
is one thing that you would want to ask for
from your public officials because you know.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
They work for us.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
And I think you know tens the season of giving
and if you were gonna give me something with me,
goddamn break, that's what I want from break me off
a piece of But no, sir, I'm dead, actually serious.
I feel you give me a break. It's just feel
like every time I turn around, it's something else, and
(26:17):
it's only affecting minorities. None of these things that are
happening is affecting anyone who's making billions of dollars or
even millions of dollars when people decide not to sign bills.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I e.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
While the government was shut down and the Democrats was
trying to save health care, but then the Republicans rebutted
and said, hey, we'll just shut down the government and
not give any food stamps or snaps to anybody, especially
the kids.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
And so you put the.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Democrats between a rock and a hard place where now
they sign the bill, So now the government employees can
go back.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Now you guys have snap. But now when it's a
new fiscal year.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
We have to worry about health care and it's only
going to affect those who are on Medicaid.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
That's it. They're not people that are not well off,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Because when people hear the word minority, they think black
and brown people.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
It's not minority, it's poor people. It's poor.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
The government and billionaires hate poor people, which is why
they don't pay you a livable waves if you're working
at places like Walmart, Fed Eggs, Amazon, fast food places, restaurants,
we know this. Restaurants don't even pay their servers. I
think it's like I'm gonna says waves. So the problem
is not trans people. The problem is not grants. The
(27:24):
problem is not mother single mothers. The problem is Mark Zuckerberg,
Jeff Bezos. Yeah, okay, right here in the camera so
you can see me. I know you probably ain't gonna
see this little rink. It ain't by.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Sending to them, but go to head and shut up
talking to shut up.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But no, seriously, Frank, I want a break. Oh my god,
what was you asked for? Honestly, I'm going to ask
them to shut up talking to me. I'm going to
ask them to go to hell, honestly, because I don't
think it would be different if I were talking to
or dealing with a child. Yeah, I'm dealing with grown
adults who are actively intentionally inflicting harm on people maliciously
(28:08):
cannot defend themselves.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I want you to go to hell. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, And I think you know what, I think that's
probably the end of it. I think we could wrap
that with a boat and put it under your Christmas tree.
You hear me?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay, Now listen, We're gonna go ahead it come to

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
