Hello and welcome to another episode of the Blackest 30
Podcast, the only podcast where two sexy black nerds get
together to shoot the shit. I am MO AKA Kid Licorice and
together we are the affirmationsnerds here on episode 151 of the
Blackest 30 Podcast. And today we are celebrating
Pride. Did you saying like a Red Bull

(01:07):
or something? Why are you speaking so fast?
I am making up for lost time because this is technically the
second time that we're doing this.
Well, yes, yes. So I'm, I'm, I'm hitting the
ground running. OK, great, great.
I wonder if they're left and I am dead, why am I far into it?
Running the Tupac and Biggie song.

(01:27):
Yes, Anyhow. Yes, happy pride, happy.
Pride. What is it?
The gays. Yes, happy pride to the gays,
the vase, the byes, the queers, the everybody in the LGBTQIA

(01:49):
plus family. Cheers to the queers.
Cheers to queers. Cheers to queers.
Got let them queers. Hey ow they might might take
just letting it all hang out except for that one dude who
walked across the street with his balls hanging out near my

(02:12):
job like. That's never.
Fuck that dude. His balls were just out like
testicles were just like hanginglike and then.
Was he wearing pants? And they were.
He was. Wearing shorts and they were
ripped shorts. When the the the the ripping it
was out. It was not.
Housed. He was not where he did not have

(02:34):
a tent. No, but did he look like he was
an? Oh.
Joe or did he look like he probably has some?
No, no, he did. He did not.
He did not strike me as poverty.Stricken, he didn't No well,
that that's that's. That was a he made, he woke up
and made a choice. And I know he made a choice
because somebody gasped about itand he had a smug look on his

(02:58):
face. I always remember, I'll always
remember two things. I'll remember the size of his
balls, which was very, very large for some balls dangling
and the smug look on his face when he realized he was getting
the exact attention that he was seeking.
Yes, of course, it's attention seeking behavior and I will not
stand for it. Not now on this podcast.

(03:20):
Not ever. We celebrate Pride every day,
but especially during the month of June.
This is the 50 plus, I mean the 55th anniversary of Pride.
It started June 28th, 1970, a year after Marsha P Johnson

(03:41):
threw the brick that would be heard around the world.
Hell yeah. So shout out to you, Marsha P
Johnson, RIP, and to all of the trans women who helped to get us
all these rights, specifically the black and brown trans women,

Yes, there we go. Shout to you.
Are you ready to jump in? Yes, I am ready to jump in.

(05:08):
I I just wanted to do that hit that one real quick.
We. Had a very interesting
conversation before we had to start over again, but there's no
organic way to. There really is no organic way
to to do that and I and honestlythat's just for us.
We're going to say that conversation was was a

(05:30):
conversation just for us. Sometimes we don't have to.
This is a parasocial sort of interaction that you have with
us. So sometimes we leave some stuff
on the cutting room floor, sometimes we leave some stuff
behind the curtain. Not everything is for you.
But one thing that is. I am burning up.

(05:50):
It's hot. Yeah, it is hot.
We can't turn the AC on. Because you'll hear it.
You'll hear it. But one PSA that I do have out
there, to all the sugar daddies out there, please pick up
Maurice. Yes, give him lots of money.
Sugar daddies and sugar Mamas. Sugar daddies, sugar Mamas,
sugar bays, sugar bays, all of them come get him, OK?

(06:15):
Sugar bays and sugar bays like anybody.
Anybody who wants. A nice cut of meat, so get him
going. Does it fit?
I don't have that deep VI, don'thave cum gutters, but what I do
what? You've heard that term before,
right? You've never heard the term cum.
Gutters, you've said it before, but the fact that you've said it

(06:37):
now, cum gutters. Yeah, you know that Deep V.
Now this is the question I have.Sure is cum gutters a homo
erotic term? Because otherwise how are you
getting cum in those gutters? I mean if you masturbate.
OK. The way that I do.

(06:58):
OK. I've come blimps.
Disgusting if any. Actually, if anything, I've come
shutters. Not not good.
Not good anyhow. But that's enough of this.

(07:21):
We are going to dive right into our famous category.
When you want a hot meal withouta big deal.
What are you going to? Pick.
Pop topics. All right, where are we
starting? All right.
I guess we'll start off a littlesad.

(07:41):
So we didn't get a chance to talk about the story, but in
Minnesota about I wouldn't say it was 2 weeks ago or so.
It is a state representative speaker Amerita Melissa Hortman

(08:08):
and her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert were assassinated.
And so this week they have this weekend they were resting in
state in Minnesota. And she's the first woman to lie
in state in the state of Minnesota.

(08:30):
And it was a, it's just been a really like, the whole thing is
extremely sad. Now when you say lying in state,
what do you mean? So I'll show you so the when
someone's lying in state, they're usually like in their
casket and they'll have them whether it's a church or
somewhere and it'll be basicallylike the wake where people come

(08:51):
and walk around and look. So they had.
It's like a it's it. Never mind, I was gonna say,
it's like how, when, who was thesinger who passed away and they
had that no black singer. Aretha Franklin.

(09:13):
Aretha Franklin, he passed away and and they had her body out.
Yes, like that. That's exactly.
In a closed casket, I. So they have her husband
herself. Her dog is in the urn in the
middle with these pictures of them.
Joe, President Joe Biden came out.

(09:35):
Governor Tim Waltz came out. I believe this is Governor Tim
Waltz and his wife. Thousands of people came out, as
you could see from these lines. And they also had a honor guard
of a dog honor guard to be at the sides of the of the caskets

(09:56):
the whole time, which was reallysad.
And to honor Gilbert. I think it was to honor both of
them, but I but that probably I'm sure there was something
connected with the dog Gilbert. But I mean, the whole thing is
tragedy. Are you OK?
I'm sweating through the shirt. That's what's not OK.

(10:19):
But no, it's, it's all tragic. Unfortunately, they were
assassinated, right? Yeah.
And so it's like, you know, I think that under Trump, these
things keep happening. And it is just very sad,
unfortunately, that people have someone lost their life because

(10:43):
of ideologies or and false ideologies at that.
They weren't nothing that peopleare even.
It's not even something that makes sense.
It's senseless. It's senseless violence.
But, you know, the community came out for her and the only
hope that you could have is thatpeople will see these things

(11:03):
editing twice the next time theygo to the ballots.
You know, with the midterms coming up, who knows?
And yes, but we are, We send ourlove to the people of Minnesota,
her family and her friends, everyone that knew her.
All those family members who survived.

(11:26):
And there 'cause there and therewas also another.
Her her surviving family membersis what I'm trying to say.
Not the not survive like they were a part of the thing, just.
No, it was just her. Those who continue to live on.
And her husband? Yes, there was also another
representative that had an attempted assassination attempt.

(11:55):
Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot
that same I believe it was that same weekend.
Thankfully, Minnesota, they bothsurvived and they said that
Yvette dove to shield her daughter from the from the
gunshots, which is, I mean, the daughter being there is Even so

(12:19):
scary that it could have been a,you know, a child involved as
well. We just need to have, like,
people keep talking about civility, but it's not, it's not
our side that's not being civil because, like, no, people are
not walking around to these MAGApeople in government and
shooting them. And we can't even put Trump in

(12:42):
there because that was staged. I don't care.
I don't care what anyone says. Like that was fake.
Yeah. Remember, Remember when Trump
like was was clipped in the earsand how and how no one talks
about that ever anymore like that.
And I'm pretty sure the guy thatdid it is dead.

(13:03):
Is he that? I believe he is.
I find that hard now that I findhard to believe 'cause you know
they love to to keep a mother fucker alive.
Yeah, but I feel like they killed him.
I think that, Yeah, his name wasThomas Matthew Crooks.

(13:26):
I don't need. To say his name, well, he was
the guy that allegedly did it, yet he's dead.
He died that day. Oh, OK, well, they weren't
playing around. So, well, they were playing
around, they just killed somebody because of ratings, but
you didn't put the banners up. Oh it, I thought it was up.

(13:51):
I was hovering over it. Sorry.
OK. Yeah.
Well, you can do that one down because we're moving on.
These these are these two. These first few ones are a
little bit dark, just so that everyone knows and can cover
themselves accordingly. Thomas as if we should have a.

(14:16):
Warning job especially for this one.
So I've personally had not heardof this woman but YouTube
Michaela Raines unalived herselfafter being like harassed by

(14:37):
people. Apparently this is her and her
husband and their dog. Apparently she had been being
bullied online and she was like a fox rescuer.
She was an animal rescuer and just trying to raise money and
things like for that. I don't know what the reason
would be for people to harass her.

(15:04):
I feel like there's never a goodreason for online harassment.
It's just these things. These things happen and the one
thing that I want to say is thatthe Internet, social media,
online, it's not a real place. Like we have such a weird

(15:26):
parasocial relationship when it comes to online interaction.
Yeah, we have to remember to divorce ourselves from that
because like the IT, it's, it's not real.
It's not. It's not a real.
Feelings that come from being harassed online are real.
Like I have had only a a tiny amount of like, you know, online

(15:52):
harassment. I think I told you about a few
years ago and a former boss of mine, yes, tried to say some
crazy stuff about me online and then like, and it wasn't even my
name. So it wasn't like people were
contacting me, but they were like talking about me and all
this stuff. And it was very stressful

(16:13):
thinking about that. And so I can understand how
someone getting the amount of betrayal on like a large scale
and people going directing it atyou and and coming at you that
way could cause someone to spiral.
Her husband, Ethan Frankamp, said that she had been dealing

(16:35):
with ridiculous claims and rumors that had been spread
about her online for a few years, including from rival
animal sanctuaries. And being the sensitive human
that she was, Michaela took it all to heart.
And that she took her life amid rude words, accusations and name

(16:55):
calling shared by people she considered close friends.
And that she apparently was dealing with depression,
borderline personality disorder and autism, and alleged that the
recent criticism made her feel as if the entire world had
turned against her. She couldn't bear what she was

(17:17):
feeling any longer, and she ended her life.
It breaks my heart that someone who's selfless and devoted her
life to animals could have had so much negativity pointed at
her. I feel bad for, I feel bad for
her. I feel bad for her husband.
Look, nobody, it's a tough situation because like I, I do

(17:43):
not think that anybody should unalive themselves, but I also
look at what pushed them to thatpoint and I put the blame
squarely on, I guess her close friends who were involved in
this. I mean The thing is or
associates or something. Having you could have all these

(18:05):
random people saying things about you and to you and you
could kind of brush it off. But if people in your life in
your circle, who people who you would you would assume are your
friends and close friends, startrepeating those things things
and saying them as well, that could definitely put you over
the edge. Because then it's like, who
could I trust? Who could I turn to?
You can't even find someone to vent outside.

(18:27):
You know her husband, but sometimes you need to have more
than just one person in your corner.
So fuck you to all those people who were attacking her.
I had never heard about this onebefore, but I saw the outrage
pouring out over her desk acrossseveral of my timelines on

(18:48):
various social medias. And when I looked into it I was
just like, you know, people are really like y'all need to go
outside, touch grass, do something else.
And the fact that people are so brazen to say things online, but
they won't say them to your facebecause I, and this was, it's
not related, but there's a guy, this guy on the Yankees, I don't

(19:10):
remember his name, but they did this kind of like social.
I don't know if it was a promotion experiment, whatever
type of thing where they had allthey, they were talking to New
York Yankees fans out on the street.
And they had like this big kind of like billboard thingy of his
face on there at his picture. And they were like, oh, so and

(19:31):
so was coming back to the Yankees.
You know, are you gonna Boo him?And I guess he must have left.
And now he's coming back and they're like, yeah, for sure,
I'm gonna Boo him, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And so they were like, all right, so I want you to say what
you would say to him, to his face, to this picture, whatever
they're saying, all this stuff, he and then he as they're saying
it and they don't see him, he comes out from the back of it

(19:51):
and then they turn around, he's there.
And then when they see him, it'slike shaking hands.
Oh my God. Hi, nice to meet you.
It's like, where was all that energy?
Keep that same fucking energy. Or don't, because OK.
Don't. Not saying you should do that,
but if you're going to, if you are so courageous to be sitting
there and type in all this shit to people when you see them, you

(20:14):
shouldn't change up and try to pretend and be fake.
Like, and that's the thing. People are online showing
they're a complete ass and not in a good way that we like.
And then when they're faced witha person in real life, it's
like, oh, I would never say that.
Oh, I'm not that bad person. Yes, you are.
You're exactly that type of person.

(20:35):
And I just want to ape. I was in a training last week
and I was on the same, I guess team as this really interesting,
clearly New York dude, very talkative.

(20:55):
But one of the things I will remember that he said was that
like he teaches his kids that like you never want like
basically it's basically it's like a do on to other type of
thing. Like, but but the way he said it
was a little bit more New York elegant.
It was basically like he never wants to be somebody's bad day

(21:20):
or the reason he never wants to be the reason why somebody
snaps. So which is why if somebody
bumps into them and they and they come back with him with
vitriol, he you know, he leans into more de escalating the
situation. And because because you never
know, like you never know who isalready close to the edge.

(21:43):
Yeah, you know, so you gotta, you gotta treat people, treat
people fucking kind, dude. Like you never know who is going
through what in that mean comment.
That mean thing that you're saying might be the straw that
breaks the camel's back. And I think that's why people
say if you don't have anything that say, don't say anything at
all, Yes. And that's why I.

(22:05):
Bite my tongue so often. And.
Wherever I. Go when people are rude to me,
they that it pisses me off so much and like when they bring it
out because I'm like, I am here trying to just be outside, be
kind person get through my day and you decided you wanted to be

(22:26):
a fucking asshole and now you'regoing to put pull that out of me
now. Now it may not even be
outwardly, but me even having that internal upsetness and
frustration and anger, probably cuz I want to punch her in the
face, but I can't cuz I can't just go to jail for assault.
That's pissing me off. I hate that.

(22:47):
I hate when people are rude and nasty for no reason.
Like if you're having a bad day,keep it to yourself.
I tell like the students that I teach like, just because you're
having a bad day, don't make it everybody else's bad day.
If you're having a, don't make it a bad day.
Anybody else's problem? Talk to someone, be like, you
know what, I'm not having a great day today.

(23:08):
I don't feel well. Something else something's going
on. I don't really talking about it,
but I'm just not here here in this moment in like a good
space. People will listen to that.
And because I do not bring my bad day to anybody else, I could
be having a completely terrible mental health day in the midst
of having fucking cramps, in themidst of having two hours of

(23:31):
sleep and all this and be so internally fucking cranky.
And when I step out of the house, I do whatever I need to
do to keep me from being an asshole to somebody else.
What does that means? I'm quiet and I'm not really
saying anything. Or I'm just like, you know,

(23:55):
doing a little, you know, fake little smile, whatever.
But like, you being outside and smiling and having a good day
does not make me want to push mybad day on to you.
Sure. And it's like, if you can't just
do that, like just shut the fuckup.
And that's why they've been, there have been several cases
now where especially like with teens, with someone has been

(24:19):
bullied and then took their own life and they've started
prosecuting them. Because if you, you will be in
the court talking about, oh, it wasn't me.
I could have never, but you did.And now this person is in the
air. And regardless of how much you
want to say, oh, that's not their fault.
No, you've contributed to a negative situation and that
person hurts themselves. So yeah, who's to blame?

(24:43):
You. But RIP McKay Lorraines, you
will be missed. You're survived by your.
That's what I'm trying to say. You're survived by your husband
and your dog, your family and your.
Family, all the foxes and other animals that you were trying to
help, you know, that is a hole in this world because there's
not a lot of people that actually like to do that and

(25:04):
will spend their time and energyand money.
So we hope that you are in a better place and your family can
heal from this, you know, terrible situation.
Yeah, all right, Speaking of friggin.
Terrible situation. Terrible situations.

(25:26):
Yeah. Let's just let's just go down
all the terrible things. All right, so this was I saw a
video of this terrible thing that happened at a airport in
Moscow. We don't have to describe this
in detail. I'm not going to be super

(25:46):
detailed, I'm just going to givethem the bare minimum so you can
put the the banner on them. I mean, I tried, I, I just tried
to, yeah. Sum it up, that's fine.
So this 31 year old Belarusian man named Vladimir Vitkov, who

(26:09):
was a construction worker from Belarus who had been working in
Egypt but had recently been, I believe fired 'cause he had, he
didn't pass like a breathalyzer,like a drug, one of those drug
alcohol tests at work sent back home.
And he in the airport, there wasan 18 month old child who was

(26:33):
with his mother escaping from Iran.
Because we know the things that have been happening there, They
had just touched down. They were in the airport like
you see them in a little seatingarea.
And he body slammed this baby. And when asked why he, he, well,
he said he told the police he attempted to murder a child.

(26:55):
When he asked why, he said he was on drugs.
Thank God. The best thing about this
situation is that 18 month old, even though he was, he had
severe skull fractures and spinal injuries.
But he has come out of the coma and they said that he is free of

(27:21):
brain damage, which the doctors are calling a miracle because
like it's a baby. But it like I was just I can't
think that this situation was not like racially motivated
because why? Even if you were on drugs, like

(27:42):
drugs, but they said he had likeweed in the system and other
drugs like that. Weed is not.
Like being able to. Somebody like anybody?
No, that's just not what we does.
Unless you have some weird like rare.
Unless it's laced. Unless it's laced you might be

(28:05):
like chilling there and sitting down and not and not realize the
baby was next to you and accidentally like kicking or
something because you were crossing your legs and didn't
pay attention or something. I don't know, maybe eat the
baby's fruit snacks but you're not about to go body slamming
it. But the the only good thing is
that the child does not have thebrain damage.

(28:25):
The doctors are working on them to make sure they are good.
But it's like how much more do Iranians?
Like, that's crazy that this child is fleeing this country
because of a war that is being pushed on it by our country and
other other countries. And they get to the airport for

(28:49):
safety and are attacked. But the good thing is the baby
doesn't have the brains for any brain damage right now.
And they are, you know, recuperating.
They are in the hospital, they and they thankfully, they woke
up from the coma because that's always something that, you know,

(29:11):
is up in the air. But we are just, you know, we're
praying for this, the child and their family.
The mother's name is Hajzada Sahar.
They did not mention the child'sname.
But we can just only hope that they're getting the best medical
care possible and whatever moneyis needed is, you know, donated

(29:35):
to them. Hopefully that man has to pay
whatever he needs to pay to thatfamily and go get help, like
whatever they're going to do. I mean, he's in Russia.
I can't imagine they're going tobe putting him in a Country
Club. So who knows?
Be off in Siberia somewhere. No, put that motherfucker in a
gulag. And the crazy thing is that the

(29:55):
man who did it, he's married andhe has a daughter who's about
the same age as the boy. So that's crazy to me.
And like, who would even think to look at a child and like what
evil is inside you that you would look at a child and want?
To have the most I've ever wanted to do is like mush
somebody's face. But even that's like, that's

(30:19):
just because of annoyance sake, you know what I mean?
Like there's never been, I've never looked at a child and been
like, I want to harm them. I want to harm them.
Yeah, and do some fucking wrestling moves on them or some
shit like that. Nothing like that.
Yeah, not unless it's a fun. Unless we're doing fun play
time. And even then you're still like,

(30:40):
I don't want to do anything. Wait till that could hurt you.
Like I just want to like. We're naked chokehold.
Like you just want who sees a child like a baby that age and
doesn't want to be like, oh, letme cuddle you or like let's play
a toy or tell me how you say how, what word you say that's
going to be it's going to sound silly or whatever like that.
Bodega. Like there's just so many other

(31:03):
things to be doing and I wish that there was a way to wipe out
weirdos authors. Like if the aliens, if they had
like a a weirdo blaster, you canjust push the button get out.
Weirdo Blaster. Get them out of here.
Yeah. All right.
This is the last annoying, terrible story.

(31:25):
No, it's not. Yeah, not that one.
The kids, The 5th graders. Oh yeah, I did forget about that
one. So this Texas man, his name is
Jermaine Thomas, was deported toJamaica without a passport, even

(31:48):
though they say he's never been to the country because he was
born in AUS Army base in Germany.
Now this is one thing that I know in regards to if you are in
the military, if your child is born on base.
On US soil. That is considered US soil, yes.

(32:10):
So you are an American. You're born on that base, so
there should be no reason why you are being detained,
deported, anything like that. You have this the all the rights
of an American citizen because our government sends your
parents to this place or they were already at that place.

(32:31):
They met had you. You're an American and his he
says that the article says that his father is AUS citizen and it
doesn't make sense how he could have no citizenship because it

(32:52):
says he's not a citizen of Germany, where he was born in
1986, or of the United States, where his father served in the
military for nearly two decades,or of his father's birth country
of Jamaica, places he's never been.
I was wondering why they landed on Jamaica.
Yeah, it's because his father isfrom Jamaica.

(33:12):
Yeah. OK.
He said that his first memory isin Washington state but has
moved around a lot with his family in different places, but
spent most of his life in Texas.Unfortunately, he was.
He's been homeless and out of jail.
His parents divorced when he wasyoung.
His mom remarried to another manin the Army.

(33:34):
They moved around a lot. And then, you know, he kind of
just floundered around that and he says, if you're in the US
Army and the Army, Army deploys you somewhere and you've got to
have your child over there and your child makes a mistake after
you pass away and you put your life on the line for this

(33:55):
country, are you going to be OK with them just kicking your
child out of the country? And he was like, it was, it was
just Memorial Day. Y'all are disrespecting his
service and his legacy. So it's like I understand that
if you are not from America, if you commit a crime here, you

(34:19):
could be deported about cold. Sure.
However, that should this is a like this is a whole bunch of.
That this one doesn't make any sense to me.
It's a whole bunch of like you're, you're going all around
and. It's a little, it's a lot of
mental gymnastics that you have to do in order to make sense of
this. And I think this is one of those
things where I was like, I wanted to talk about it because

(34:40):
the fact that we keep when, whenpeople are talking about ICE and
the deportations and all that and the immigrants, a lot of it
is surrounding, people are talking about mostly Latin X
countries. When and then, and then you'll
see like black people on online who are like, oh, we don't need

(35:02):
to worry about this. Like, not our problem, not our
fight. We're going to just keep having
our boots on the ground and not realizing that like, Haitians
are at one of the highest risks of having deportations.
There's so many things that they're always there.
Like Haiti is has been the most hated Black Country in the world

(35:26):
since Jean Duc. What's his name?
Sorry that I was thinking of Jean Doc Dessaline, but that's
something I was thinking about the I was, I was saying his
name. I was thinking about Toussaint
Leo Chore leading the Haitian rebellion and making Haiti the
first African Black Country in the Western Hemisphere to gain

(35:49):
its independence, and then kicked off all the rest of the
independences around the islandsor and in the Americas and South
America, etcetera. It's always been hated like
they've always tried to. They're trying to get their lick
back still. I mean, France made them pay
reparations for the war and America has gone in and tried

(36:10):
to, well, has managed to overthrow the government in a
variety of ways. And every time Haitians push
back, it's like whenever they'rehere, they are constantly the
first ones being rounded up. We saw those videos of the
Haitian immigrants who were crossing the border who had were

(36:31):
getting round up by people on horseback and like whipped and
stuff like that. So like black people, regardless
of where they are from are goingto be impacted.
Anyone who is not American is impacted.
I've been seeing videos of folkscoming from the UK, Germany,

(36:52):
Canada, various places who usually would have no have no
issue coming in talking about they're being detained.
They wouldn't let or they came here.
They were on vacation when they went to go back.
It was a whole thing like this is not a oh, I can just turn a
blind eye because I'm born here.Because if Trump gets his

(37:13):
birthright citizenship is being removed and all that, that opens
up like a can of worms because how many unless you are.
We are a country of immigrants, and unless you are.
From an indigenous tribe, you were not born here.

(37:33):
And I doubt that they're going to be looking for people whose
family came over on the Mayflower or Ellis Island.
It is going to be everybody else, and who knows what other
type of like, shenanigans and mental gymnastics they'll try to
come up with to deport us all out of this country.
And now, on one hand, maybe thatwouldn't be such a bad thing.
Maybe we need to just go back. Like, maybe we do.

(37:55):
Maybe just need to go back. Go back where?
Anywhere, Barbados, I mean for you, Nigeria, Nigeria, like you
can go back to Barbados. You don't have Barbados and have
stuff. We would have the same amount of
information going to these countries.
And maybe they just shouldn't have us.
They they don't deserve to have the the people who are here who

(38:17):
they consider immigrants and notAmerican.
And I bet you after give them one year without having all of
us colored folk, not Americans or whatever here, they're going
to be fucking begging us to comeback.
Begging. The streets are going to be
filled with garbage. And also it would just be
boring. It's going to be boring.

(38:37):
Food's going to be terrible. It's going to be nothing
interesting happening. Everything's going to break down
because the Americans that are here.
Have you ever seen a white guy make Mexican food?
Unfortunately didn't look good. It's not good.
It's not good. So this, Jermaine, I hope that
this works out, that you get some kind of something.

(39:02):
Hope you get your ass back here somehow.
Back here, but also like maybe you have family in Jamaica that
you know, can help you out, but that's it's hard going to
another country and having to start all over, especially when
you weren't doing great here to go to another country and like
try to create something. It's just it's very difficult.
So I hope that that works out for you.

(39:23):
Because Trump and his merry bandof thieves, not merry, they're
terrible, but his benefits are going to try to do this more and
more. They're just, it's like all
these little things they're doing, I feel like.
They're just, and now they're not even like before it was kind
of funny to see how incompetent they were.

(39:45):
Now they're just kind of benign evil.
Not even benign. Well, not like, like the, when I
say benign evil, I mean like themost like rudimentary evil.
Like they're not like mustache twirling, like tying bitches to
the train tracks and you know, like saying like where's the

(40:07):
rent or anything like that. Like I I when I say benign evil,
I mean like rudimentary evil. Like it is very.
Standard everyday like run-of-the-mill milk toast evil.
Yeah. No, you're right.
OK, so let's go on. This is our now.
This one is actually our last. This is more like crazy than it

(40:31):
is sad, but we will let you all be the judge.
Do you wanna? Where is it?
Here we go. OK.
So in Arizona, several 5th gradegirls have been, I guess, sorry,

(41:00):
arrested because they came up with a murder plot against one
of their classmates. And I found the news clip to
share on Twitter. All right, let me pull this one

(41:20):
up here. I put it on 1.5 speeds so that
we can hear the whole thing but it'll go through fast.
New details about a murder plot thought up by fifth grade girls
at a West Valley school. The girls accused of planning to
stab their classmate and to try to make it look like a suicide.
12 News journalist Gabriella Bacary is live in surprise with
the latest on this case. This is just.
The place the name Surprise, which is hilarious.

(41:41):
It is Chairman Troy and according to the surprise police
report, one of the suspects allegedly had just broken up
with the boy they were targeting.
Some of the suspects told officers they didn't think they
were going to go through with this plan and they were too
scared to tell an adult what wasgoing on.
A conversation between four fifth grade girls at recess
turned into a criminal investigation.
According to a newly obtained police report, the girls are
accused of plotting to kill their classmate at Legacy
Traditional School in West Surprise by luring him into an

(42:02):
outside bathroom and stabbing him in the stomach.
Quote just and him is what they allegedly agreed upon while
sitting at a lunch table on October 1st, 2024.
Each of the girls had a role in the plan, which included wearing
gloves to hide fingerprints, forging a suicide note, and
having lookouts. The plan didn't pan out because
another classmate overheard their conversation and told her
parents and the school resource officer.
The arresting officer notes 3 ofthe girls and their families
appeared remorseful and apologized, but one girl smiled,

(42:22):
laughed and made excuses. You're starting to really.
Put a lot of. Emphasis and care about what
your peers think about you. Child and adolescent
psychiatrist Doctor Mark Anderson tells me this time in a
child's life can be difficult asthey're susceptible to
challenges of peer pressure and they still don't fully know
right from wrong. Pay attention to potential
warning signs and if you're seeing that there might be an
issue then and you don't know what to do, there are doctors

(42:42):
like myself. There are a lot of people in the
community that are here to help parents, to help families and to
help the kids. And a spokesperson for Legacy
Traditional Schools tells me thesafety and well-being of their
students is their top priority and that they acted immediately
and appropriate with the help oflaw enforcement on this matter
from last year. I also talked to Maricopa County
Attorney's Office who tells me misdemeanor charges were
referred to them last year and this case has since been

(43:03):
adjudicated live in surprise Gabriella de Cara.
So this whole thing is crazy, right?
But the one part that really shook me to my core is the
little girl that laughed and waskicking about it.
That little girl is a sociopath.Yeah, she's crazy.
'Cause I mean, OK, now, if it wasn't nervous, like, you know,

(43:24):
we used to get in trouble sometimes you might laugh, like,
what is it that, or was she really just like, ha ha ha, like
I feel. Is it safe for saying these kids
are white? Come on, if they weren't white,
they'd be in juvenile detention.They didn't.
They said that one of them they got was the word.
They got arrested and charged with hold on.

(43:49):
I will tell you they were arrested on one count of
threatening and a second count of disorderly conduct.
OK, if these were. So they were white.
I they have because they don't release the kids names because
you know, it's they're under 18 or whatever, but I would be the
way this surprised Arizona. I would be hella surprised they

(44:11):
were not white because what the fuck?
Yeah, like they're I just like the best you could get.
Maybe they might be like I. Remember when, like, somebody
broke up with you in fifth grade, all you did was just,
like, write their name in a slambook?
You know, or the bathroom wall or.
Try to steal the Yu-gi-oh cards.David smells on the bathroom

(44:31):
wall like, like, like or. Spread a bad rumor.
What happened to that? Yeah.
What happened to that? What?
Happened to spreading a rumor about David eating tiny pieces
of shit. David P.
Is the bed like Remember we watched?
David, win or lose. Win or the Disney one with the
base, the softball team. I don't think I ever saw that.

(44:53):
We watched that together. We animated series.
Oh, the Pixar, Pixar. Pixar.
Pixar. Pixar, Yes.
So like, remember when the blackgirl and the Asian boy were like
fighting because they were and they were fighting or whatever.
And she goes like, oh, you're soinsecure or whatever.
And then he's like, oh, well, you throw up and you're nervous

(45:15):
or something like that. Like telling their little
secrets, that's the normal thing.
But killing somebody first? Murder.
First off, elaborate. I will give them that it's
elaborate. But you want.
To want to stab somebody and. Then.
Have a note to in there in the kids handwriting in order to
make it seem like it's an UN alive thing.

(45:35):
I've. Told my students this more than
once. Y'all cannot be criminals
because you're bad at it. Yeah, because how are you having
this discussion and earshot of somebody that could tell on you?
There's no such thing as a childmastermind.
Y'all are dumb, kids are dumb. That's just it.
Kids are dumb. You don't know, you don't pay
attention, you don't like think things.

(45:57):
Your brain has not developed to the point where you could think.
Can understand what constant consequences are?
And even like, you know your rule of emotions, which is why
middle school is such like a trying time for kids because I.
5th grade is not middle school, that's elementary.
No, I'm talking about 5th about yes, I know I'm talking.

(46:17):
About. Okay, gotcha.
Because like at my school, there'll be kids.
There were there's always there's a new boyfriend,
girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend every week.
There's it's like y'all all dating each other constantly.
Like you break up, you have yourlittle, you know?
Make up to break up. Arguments, you'll be throwing
stuff at each other in class andthen I'm like, what's going on?
And then somebody's like, oh, well, they used to go out, they

(46:38):
broke up or oh, she can't sit next to him because they broke
up. And it's like, OK.
And now I don't believe like I think that young kids at that
age, I don't think that it should be like, oh, you can't
have a boyfriend, girlfriend. But I think that it has to be so

(46:59):
like monitored, excuse me, by the parents and the teachers to
make sure that they are learninghealthy ways of like coping and
working through things. Cause at the end of the day,
like this, these are the ages where you're learning about like
dating, your feelings, you're going through all this stuff.

(47:20):
So it is a good way to get like,here's how I can handle this
moving forward. But I feel like some of these
parents really don't know or they don't care.
They don't think it's going to be a big deal 'cause they're
just kids. But just to let you know, kids
are not just kids. They've never been just kids.
Even our grandparents, our greatgrandparents, like kids weren't

(47:45):
just kids. They were always doing shit.
And you got to pay attention andyou got to be up their asses to
the point where they're like, oh, I hate you.
Get out of here. Like, no, because this is some
bullshit. What?
Who's who? You.
So you took my good knife. You took my good knife outside
to stab somebody. Get out of here.

(48:06):
Where'd you get all these thingsfrom?
Where'd you get all this equipment?
This is why kids need to have, you know, those phones they have
those little kid phones where the parents can monitor the
messages. That's what you need.
I am. I don't believe that you should,
like, Snoop on your kids necessarily.
But I think that they're, up until a certain age, there needs
to be like some extreme what's going on?

(48:29):
Because at 5th grade, if you have a phone, I need to be
seeing what's, what's going on in your phone.
Yeah, and I need to be able like, it's not something where
it's like, oh, you know, you're,you could delete it.
And when I look at it after, we need to have some kind of
monitoring system so that I can see what's going on.
I know which apps you're using. There's all these little

(48:49):
safeguards if you use some certain words or emojis or
whatever hologram bullshit is around at that time that I could
see it because you got to be up your kids asses.
You have to be and not like smothering them, but you have to
know what's going on so that they are not making fucking
pacts to kill people. Yeah, this reminds me of the
fucking those Slender Man kids. Do you remember that a few just

(49:13):
some years ago? That was they have a documentary
about that, I think it was maybe.
Hulu, I think it's on HBO or. Something like that.
And it's like those three girls because they were reading about
Slender Man so much on the Internet and then they didn't
like the one of the girls didn'tlike another girl.
So they invite her and then try to kill her in the woods.
I mean, thankfully I believe thegirl they they tried to murder.

(49:34):
She survived if I remember correctly, but she was very
badly hurt. So this is not new.
He can we you could go back 30405060 plus years and kids
have tried to harm other kids because they don't understand
how like what the consequences are to the Max week with an

(49:56):
adult would but you just you gotto be up your kids ass like
please don't give I don't care about whether you need privacy
or not no. Let that be a lesson to all
parents like monitor your kids, look at them closely, make sure
that they're not fucking plotting some bullshit revenge
nonsense and. Children, you're not good
criminals. Yes, children.

(50:17):
Are not. Good.
Children are not good criminals.They're not just give it up.
The best type of only type of criminal a kid could do is like,
you know, steal. But but like, yeah.
But it has to be like, oh. Steal something small.
Going up to somebody be like Oh my, my mom like I I lost my
wallet. Can you give me $10.00 so I can
give? Steal a scam.

(50:37):
Steal a scam. That could be a kind of a
scammer, but it's like very my new things because you're just
not good at like the well thought out.
Don't let like these little kid movies fool you.
OK, 'cause you're gonna be terrible, you're gonna lose
something, you're gonna drop something, you're gonna speak
too loud at fucking. But even then, remember the the
part where he runs out of the street and tells the the guy his

(51:00):
whole business, 'cause you're dumb.
You don't pay attention, you don't think correctly, you don't
have the frontal lobe development to make you even
minutely good at crime. So that's it.
That's the rest of our terrible,sad ones.

(51:21):
So where you want to go from here?
Well, since it's pride, do. I have two of these.
Why don't I have two of these? I'll delete that.
Since it is pride, I wanted to Isaw this beautiful.

(51:43):
Well, what is it? Is it ad?
It's a post someone made about trans icon Tracy Norman.
And if you've never heard of Tracy Norman, she was a model in
the 80s, I believe. Nobody knew she was trans.

(52:08):
She was beautiful booking all these campaigns, etcetera, until
one day someone saw she was outed and then her career went
down. But then it has most recently
had a resurgence. And I'm just so grateful that
she had survived the 80s and the90s and the thousands, etcetera.
As a trans woman, as a black trans woman, to have done that

(52:31):
is amazing. And it kind of made me think of
one of the characters in pose who was, oh, what's your name?
Angel. Angel was the guy who was who
was the Angel's girlfriend. No, no, Angel wasn't the guy.
Angel. I thought Angel was the was the

(52:53):
trans woman. Oh, you're right.
Yes, it was. I was thinking of little Poppy.
Yeah. Wow.
And his. Actor name is Angel.
His actor name is Angel. Yes, yes, yes.
But India Moore, yes. That's who I'm thinking about
who plays Angel cause in the show she gets all these

(53:14):
campaigns, people don't know she's trans.
And then this kind of they life imitating art type of thing.
But this was a beautiful ad, so I wanted us to share it.
In 1975, Tracy Norman was photographed by Irving Penn for
Vogue Italia. She had an exclusive deal with
Avon and her face on a box of Clairol.
Tracy was a model at the top of her game and no one knew she was

(53:36):
trained. During a shoot for Essence, an
assistant found out she was outed and her career ended
overnight. She found support in the
underground ballroom community where her modeling past gave her
an edge and the respect she deserved.
She was inducted into the Ballroom Hall of Fame in 2001.
In 2015, the Cut told her story,and Clairol called.
At 63, she became the face of their Real Color, Real People

(53:59):
campaign. Then she landed the cover of
Harper's Bazaar, and her modeling career picked up right
where it left off. But this time, she doesn't have
to hide who she is. Fashion Conservatory.
Preserving fashion's past for future generations.
Cool shout out to you Miss Tracy.

(54:20):
She's gorgeous. She kind of in this picture for
she in one of the picture from the 70s where she's like in the
brown. She kind of reminds me of like
she could be related to Cicely Tyson.
I can see that I can see. That error, yeah, she has the
the bone. Strong bone.

(54:40):
I was going to say she has the bone structure of Grace Jones.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But beautiful.
And I'm just like, you know, it's so frustrating that people
will be being assholes. I mean, it was a, it was.
I would say it's a different time.
But not. But at the end of the day, it's.
Not that different. It's just like, why is

(55:04):
regardless, even if she was, youdidn't know she was trans,
whatever, who cares? Why is it?
Why can I stay out of people's business?
Like stay out of people's business.
Now you know. Thankfully, she was able to
rebound later in her life to have this, you know, get back
her career, which is great. But it was just like, you know,

(55:26):
what's the point? Why are you all?
Why are you all so mad? Are you?
Were you Aggie 'cause you couldn't get in the fucking
puddle? Shoot whoever you were.
So we love you. Happy pride, happy pride, Miss
Norman. And next, some more pride.

(55:54):
Some more, I was waiting for youto change the thing.
To which one? To this one.
Oh, OK, I didn't see it. More pride things this weekend.
Zoron, Mama, Mom, Donnie and Latisha James, who is a Howard

(56:14):
Bison. We're at the Pride March and you
see that the crowd was loving them.
I love it. I'm just so glad that he's won
the primary. Oh yeah, that's also news too.

(56:37):
He's our new mayor. No, no.
No. Wait, he's not our new mayor.
So it's still, that's what that was.
He's still in the race. Yeah, it's the primary.
So when we do the midterm elections in November, he's on

(56:59):
the ballot. Oh, so there's.
Still more friends to do. I'm a big old idiot because I'm
over here thinking that like, yeah, like, he won.
I mean, he's fine. He won the primary.
He won the primary, yeah. Yeah, but I.
Am I guess that makes sense because like $0.50 was.

(57:19):
He said he was going to pay him 50,000 or something like that,
$50,000 to get out of here and I'm just like $0.50 if you don't
get out of here. You just want Adams around so
you could be fucking throwing parties and bamboozling people
and all this other bullshit. And not paying child support.
Not paying child support or taxes or whatever else.
Like every grifter in the world wants Adams to stay, especially

(57:44):
like Trump. I'm sure he'll try to rig the
election because Adams has made it clear that he is Trump's
best. Do you remember on Martin Luther
King weekend he decided to not go to the usual like Martin
Luther King celebration so he can go to play with Trump?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, or whatever they were
doing that weekend. So I'm looking forward to him

(58:08):
being mayor. I hope that he wins.
I. Hope he wins too.
He has really rallied not just the base, but like New Yorkers
across a variety of demographics.
And something I learned, apparently DoorDash had donated

(58:28):
like I think 100, was it 100,000or $1,000,000 to Cuomo because.
I thought I had that. No, I had taken that out because
I just, I thought you could. It wasn't like, yeah, of
anything. They had donated money to Cuomo

(58:51):
and they created slander ads against Zorn.
Yeah. And he and the main reason is
because they wanted to. They wanted to rollback a bunch
of like. And all the other.
Protection laws for delivery drivers?
Exactly so. We are, we need to have a mayor
in New York who is doing the work for the people and not for

(59:14):
his pockets. So fingers crossed, Ron, we're
rooting for you. All right, some more good news.
The New York Knicks, who recently shit the bed.
They'll always let you down. That's the look.

(59:36):
There's there's three things that are in this life are
inevitable Death, taxes and the Knicks letting you down.
And they did or. New York sports teams letting
you down. But apparently the New York
Knicks are considering Dawn Staley.
Dawn Staley for the head their head teaching vacancy after the

(01:00:02):
dismissal. And now is it dismissal of
firing they dismissed? Basically, it's basically.
Tom Thibodeau And so I hope she gets it.
I don't think we have any head coaches that are women.
So she would be the first. She is amazing now.

(01:00:26):
She is currently the South Carolina Gamecocks head coach.
She got them to the national championship for the NCAA, yes.
NCAA Tournament in 2000. Yeah, in this past year.

(01:00:48):
So I think she would be a great job.
She's an amazing player. I think she's an amazing coach,
and I think she would give the Knicks the revitalization that
we need. OK?
Make it worthwhile for people tobe spending like, a fucking
salary on those seats, all right?

(01:01:09):
Because at this point, it's ridiculous.
Spike Lee is keeping y'all afloat.
It's just Spike Lee in the name.Like, it's because the New York
Knicks, we're riding on the championships that majority of
us, we weren't even born becauseI cannot remember a time in my
life where the Knicks were like,doing a great job consistently.

(01:01:32):
Yeah, it is always. Everybody wants to talk about
Patrick Ewing's day, but. He's done.
He's been done. He's been gone.
And Even so, like. I only know Patrick Ewing
through Space Jam. Even if, OK, Patrick Ewing was
on the Knicks. But then let's say that was.
But from the time I was six or seven, I don't know, Like I
don't remember when he left. But they've not been great.

(01:01:55):
It's always they'll get to a championship or conference. 1973
was the Knicks last championship, yeah.
No get out of here. Get out because y'all don't.
It's like not even that. Like OK a lot of teams are
always making to a championship but y'all seasons are trash.
The Liberty are holding up New York basketball because the Nets

(01:02:18):
and the Knicks both terrible. How we have two NBA teams and no
championships. I'm just I'm.
Probably have two NFL, technically three NFL teams and
no. Championships, but the Giants
and The Jets actually don't are not terrible.
Like I'm a proud Giants fan. I root for The Jets as well.

(01:02:40):
I'll do the Buffalo Bills if nobody else is.
Yeah, Bills made it farther thanThe Jets or the Giants.
This past year, so I'm like, I'mgoing to root for them, of
course, because they're. Baltimore and then lost the next
game. That pissed me off so to.
Minnesota. No, not the Vikings.
It was, was it? The Seahawks.

(01:03:04):
No, because who was in the SuperBowl this year?
They lost to whoever went to. The Kansas City Chiefs.
Did they go against the Chiefs or did they go against the?
It was the Chiefs against the. No.
Was it the Chiefs against the Eagles?
Yes, yes. So, yeah.
So they, so they went up againstthe chief?

(01:03:25):
Yes, they went up against the chief, Yeah.
Fly, eagles fly. Fly eagles, Fly I.
Mean I, I, I always say like my sports.
What's it called? I root for sports in this
border. I can't play our sports theme
song anymore. Because they keep blocking it,

(01:03:46):
yeah. It's blocked in other.
Countries, one, if they're a NewYork team, that's number one.
And then I have my tiers of New York teams, but #1 New York team
#2 proximity to New York, So howclose?
Three, if there's players on there that I think are cute and
or I like for some other reason,or if I just hate the other

(01:04:09):
team, I'm gonna go for that team.
Ravens all the way, baby. Ravens, Orioles.
Apparently Orioles are doing really well this season.
Oh, good for them. And yeah, Ravens and Orioles.
I mean, that's, that's basicallyall we have as far as like
Major. Football.
Football, baseball. We don't have a basketball team.

(01:04:31):
You don't have a basketball. Team Baltimore doesn't.
Wow, I. Didn't know that DC Wizards are
the Wizards. Well, the Wizards are terrible.
Yeah, they're they're. Remember in college we used to
be able to get tickets for like $20?
Oh yeah. For sure.
And that wasn't even just like student pricing.
Yeah. That was that was a regular
game. Well, want to get the You want

(01:04:51):
to see the Wizard get the ass beat here past $20?
Yeah, that's good. Well, congratulations.
Well, Dawn Staley, we're going to congratulate you ahead of
time because I want to save the dream and get this because they
there's nobody else that I can. Speak it into existence.

(01:05:12):
Do you have a OH? No, I don't.
You're going to be the next headcoach of the New York Knicks,
and I will pay to go with a Knicks game if you are all
right. Head of the Knicks.
We need to take these drops awayfrom.
You. No, no, never.
Getting out of hand? No, it's not all right.

(01:05:33):
Next up. Next up.
Oh, OK. So if you have been living under
a rock and don't know who Tamir Rice is, he was a young boy, I

(01:05:55):
think he was 12 or maybe 11 or 12, who was shot and killed in
2014 by police officers while hewas in the park playing with a
toy gun. And so his mother has set up a
fundraiser for the Tamir Rice Foundation so that they can

(01:06:18):
create or so they can invest in the growth enrichment of all
children. And Kyrie Irving donated $50,000
this past week. His mother was asking supporters

(01:06:38):
to donate $23 for what would have been his Rice's 23rd
birthday that just passed on June 25th.
The goal was to raise $110,000. Right now they are currently at

(01:06:59):
$97,837. Oh. 89% of the go.
Yeah, So this, you know, Tamir Rice, Tamir Rice's mother,
Trayvon Martin's mother, so manyof the mothers, unfortunately,
of people who have been murderedby the police, black children

(01:07:20):
who've been murdered by police have gone to like take their
names and do something great with it and their for their
legacy. And so I hope that she gets
this. So she purchased a building in
the city of Cleveland to give back to the industry of youth
with art and cultural development.

(01:07:40):
So I hope that they get this andeven more honestly, I more of
these basketball players need toput up your money.
Anybody you got money, put it uplike she should be surpassed.
Donate to a good cause, you know, like do what you got to do
you you're making you're making butt loads of money and.
Even if you don't want to be like, oh, I'm just like, I care

(01:08:03):
about it so much. It's a tax write off at the
very. Least exactly like it's a
charitable donation. So like, I hope she can get this
up with Sebastian. Give money to keep your money.
In Cleveland, I know they need that, so we will hopefully see
this coming up within the next year.
Fingers crossed that she will get the all the money and more

(01:08:26):
that she needs. All right, so we have some
entertainment news. So Cardi B has a new song out
and it's called Outside. We can't play it.
We cannot play it, but somebody what we Maurice?
We can't play it. So a North Carolina rapper by

(01:08:51):
the name of Risa Rain is claiming that Cardi B stole her
song for Outside. So let's hear what Miss Rain had
to say. Charlotte, NC rap artist with
the rain claims Cardi B stole her song.
You're not going to be able to tell me that.

(01:09:13):
Even if it wasn't Cardi herself,somebody on that team heard the
song. Yes, it is a common saying.
Yes, *** say *** been outside. I'm not discrediting that.
But the coincidence for you to say outside and the beat sound

(01:09:33):
the same. Somebody heard it and was like,
I could see where they was trying to go with this.
Let's take it here, you know, I'm saying.
And that if that's what you wantto do, cool.
But *** reach out and be like, hey, listen dude, yeah, I'm
saying. But like, *** *** so do.

(01:09:59):
Y'all think Cardi B stole a songor is it?
All right, So what do you think?So here's my thing.
Like, I think they stole that shit.
I think it sounds too similar tojust be a a case of parallel
thinking. Yeah, I mean.
She Carlos Mencia, that shit. Carlos kitchen phrase.

(01:10:25):
So when she first said it and she had like when she first
played the song, I was like well, outside she did like she
says outside is a very popular phrase.
We outside. But then like when you hear the
beat next to each other, they are very, very similar.
And I am wonder if it's something that like she said, it
may not have been Cardi. It could have possibly been

(01:10:46):
somebody on. Cardi's team.
Because I do think that happens a lot.
They hear something, they're like, oh, this will be great.
And then they try to replicate it.
But it's like, you would save yourself so much time and money
if you just said to the like, let me pay you $50,000 for this

(01:11:07):
beat or whatever, this song. And then we can go over and then
we wouldn't have to have this discussion.
Nobody is going to have to get their lawyers involved.
You just have to do your due diligence on these things and I
don't know what's behind whetherCardi knew about it or not, but
I do think she needs to make it right because it's listening to

(01:11:27):
the songs. That's like side to side like
that. At the end it's like, yeah.
It's hard to. It's hard to.
It's hard to. It's hard to.
Be like now. Debate whether or not it's it's
stolen some songs because it's super similar.
It's super. Similar, there are sometimes
when a song will come out and somebody would be like, well, I
said that too, and it's like, well, these sometimes.

(01:11:49):
Sometimes parallel thinking doeshappen.
Thinking we hear word or phrase a lot.
Kindred made the word outside. Come back outside.
He did. Yeah, it was on the fucking.
Are we outside? Yes, but outside has been going.

(01:12:19):
But Kendrick didn't make that a new popular thing it's been.
Popular. I'm not saying I'm not saying he
made a popular thing, but he bought it back to resurgence.
I don't think it was out of it was already served.
People were served. People, people have not, people
started saying. Saying we outside because we
outside was definitely like during the pandemic May prior,

(01:12:39):
but during the P&E people were saying it.
When quarantine was up to peoplewere saying it.
People have been saying we outside for mad long.
At least in New York, I. Don't know about anywhere else
but people have been saying it here so but I think that.
The New York ologist. Sometimes we just need.
To from Ronkonkoma. We need to take a step back and

(01:13:00):
say, you know what? Some somewhere along the lines
something went wrong here. Just give her her money.
That's it. Run her money just.
Give her her money. We don't even have to have a
whole back and forth. We we hear it like it sounds.
Amanda's song. It's very possible her song may
not even be as good as yours, you know, like it may not.

(01:13:24):
But at the end of the day, if you were inspired by it, you
used it. We got to You're the one with
the money is that one. That's like the flip side.
You're the one with the money. You can't do that because if it
was the other way around, your management team and whoever
would have been shut that shit down so fast.
All right. And so, in other entertainment
news, have you seen or heard of the Tiny Shack?

(01:13:50):
I honestly haven't heard of it until today.
Really. OK so I have seen like little
clips of the tiny chef. I thought it was cute, but it's
on Nickelodeon. I'm not like watching it now.
This was a video of the tiny chef getting alerted that
Nickelodeon was picking up his show.

(01:14:10):
Picking the show up. It is extremely cute.
It's really cute, yeah. Hello, Johnny, Jeff here.
How may I help you please? Hi.
I'm Ramsey and this is Eric. We are Nickelodeon executives.
Hi, tiny chef. I'm so happy to meet you.
We got your real. Let me chef you back here,
Ramsey, but I don't want to justgoing.

(01:14:30):
But I'm very sorry. Not with you.
Thank you for getting with me. Have a lovely day.
Goodbye. We want your cooking show on
Nickelodeon. Chef are.
You OK? I can't even breathe.

(01:14:59):
We can't wait. Thank.
You. So much.
All right. All right, that's cute.
That's cute as hell. That's the tiny chef is cute,
but tiny chef. Is so.

(01:15:21):
Cute, although yeah, now we found out that Tiny Chef got
cancelled 2. Seasons in the Emmy and so this
was. This video is real.
This video was so real. I was emotional watching this
video. Yes, but tiny chef here.

(01:15:42):
Hey, brilliant. But.
But but but. Oh wait, wait, brother, baby

(01:16:16):
brother up wab cake. Patty.
Brown cake where brown my flag. Right, I understand.

(01:16:53):
This was the worst. That was so sad.
And the person that that when they retweeted it and they said
the way he tries to go back to what he was doing before hearing
the news but ends up breaking down to tears, that is a real
human emotion coming from the stop motion preschool character.
Yeah, and it's true. And even, you know what Dionne
Warwick chimed in. Was like, why would you cancel

(01:17:17):
this cute little tiny chef? And I agree.
Why would you do that, Nickelodeon, you dummies.
More like Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon.
That was it, unless you wanted to talk about WWE.
No, no. All right, I have a real quick

(01:17:39):
well, we can move from Pop's culture to mental health because
I have a real quick little thingI want to do.
OK, mental health, we haven't done that in a while, so give me
a minute. Our mental health section where
we checking with each other's mental health journeys.

(01:18:05):
Well, real quick, how's your mental health been?
I I forgot to take my medicationtoday.
Yeah. And, and it's, it's mainly
because it's the weird thing is like I wasn't for the first time
in a long time on a day like today, I wasn't sleepy.

(01:18:26):
Like I was wide awake at work. And I think I was, because I was
prepared for it to be like more busy than usual, but it really
wasn't. Do you think your medicine makes
you sleepy? I don't think my medicine makes
me sleepy. I think waking up at butt fuck
5:00 in the morning. But even on days when you wake,
go to bed at like 11, you wake up at 10, you sleepy 9.

(01:18:49):
Yeah, still sleepy. I'm just, I'm just a sleepy boy.
No, I think there's something. It's not.
You're not supposed to be that sleepy.
There's something else going. On No there's not refuse to pay.
Attention to or look. At there's nothing else.
Only when I say when you sleepy,boy, that's not true.
If you sleeping, I like to sleep.
Everybody likes to sleep. But you shouldn't be sleeping 10

(01:19:09):
hours and then you're waking up and you're taking naps.
That is not normal. I.
Am I? I don't know what to tell you,
I. Do go to the doctor and tell
folks to them about you. Why do you have to need for this
copious amount of sleep? You're not a pregnant woman.
I'm a bear. I don't know what to tell you.
I like to hybrate enough to be abear.
I'm not, You're right. I'm not hairy enough to be a

(01:19:29):
bear. But my spirit?
No, I have a bear. Bears only sleep like that when
they're hibernating during winter months.
It's not winter, it's summertime.
I feel if it it should, it should be fucking winter with as
hot as it is right now. God damn.
What what what why Why did we spend the 90s spraying all that

(01:19:52):
aerosol can and eating up the ozone layer so that it could be
hot as fuck? That's ridiculous.
Cause the heat. I know, that's what I'm saying.
Why did we do that? I'm saying why did that?
Why did that happen? Why they?
Didn't know my mental health hasbeen so, so it's you know.

(01:20:16):
Are you even taking a medication?
I don't have any more to take. Well, you don't have any.
I don't. Have any more to take I need to?
You have health insurance. I do and I have to pay my bill
and then I can get back on it into psych psychiatry.
What do you mean? We'll talk about this later, so.
But I need more medicines and I don't have it.

(01:20:39):
But I did see something very cool today that someone posted
on Twitter. And so I wanted to to share it.
Oh, but you're going to need it.You have a pen.
So I need a piece of paper or no, I'll use my phone.
You use a piece of paper. This is going to ask for three

(01:21:02):
things. And so sorry, I think I have,
there's something trying to comeout with my nose.
All right, cut that out. Don't shit.
Let me pat my nose in the thing.Too late, it's staying in.

(01:21:27):
All right, so everybody get out a piece of a pen and a paper,
please. And thank you, because I want to
know what your answers are as well.
So this is supposed to be a psychology hack.
All right, So let me get it up here.

(01:21:50):
And I want to see how accurate this thing is.
All right, so here we go. I can tell a lot about a person
by answering this one question. You ready for it?
Here we go. And it's not like what you think
it's going to be. This is going to really blow
your mind. Here it is.
If you had to pick one animal, one animal that comes to your

(01:22:12):
mind first that you feel like ismost like you or explains your
personality. Pick it.
All right? Remember it.
OK, Remembering it. All right, Now I want you to
think about if that animal did not exist.
Pick the second animal that comes to your mind, The very
second animal that comes to yourmind.
Like, lock that in. OK, you got your second animal.
OK, now let's pretend that animal does not exist.

(01:22:34):
All right, your third animal, the third animal that you feel
like is most like you, that resonates with you.
Lock it in. Like lock it in.
All right, you ready to hear theanswers, Al?
OK, here we go. This will this will blow your
mind. That first animal that you
picked, that is how you want other people to perceive you.
That's how you wish that you were like presented in the

(01:22:54):
world. So whatever it was, that's what
you want other people to actually see you as the second
animal. The second animal is how you
really perceive yourself. So I want you to think about
that like, what was that second animal?
And that's, that's probably really like how you perceive
yourself. Like honestly, now the third
animal, the third animal is not how you wish people perceived

(01:23:14):
you, not how you perceive yourself, but the third animal
is how you you actually show up in the world.
It's how you actually show up, how people actually really do
perceive you. So let that lock in because that
little psychology hack mind boggling.
And it's almost 99.9999%. Always.
Right. All right, So what were the

(01:23:39):
animals that you picked? The first was a bear, a bear,
the second was a dog, a dog and the third was an owl.
An owl, yes. OK.
And mine. The first with a cat, the second

(01:23:59):
is a sloth, the third is an elephant.
So the first one is. And and I think and no you go.
So the first one says was how others perceive you.
Yeah, how others perceive you. The second is how you perceive

(01:24:20):
yourself, and the third is your actual perception.
So This is why I'm going to callbullshit on this test.
In fact, let's. Meet with that bullshit.
Why? Because there's no way that
people perceive me as a fucking owl.

(01:24:42):
As an owl, I find that very hardto believe.
Well. Let me get the characteristics
of these animals. So here are characteristics of
of these animals that if you were describing of a person like

(01:25:04):
what how it would go. OK, so the first one you picked,
which said a bear. OK, so one strength and pair,
strength and power. A bear, a man apply someone
large, strong, perhaps a bit intimidating, somebody who's
grumpy and lethargic. There we go.
Yeah, we go. Bearish can refer to someone who
is ill tempered, surly or slow to move, especially in the

(01:25:27):
morning. That sounds that sounds
accurate. Protective.
A Mama bear is fiercely protective of her children.
Hibernation. Lazing.
Yep, someone who bears down might be working hard, but also
a bear might be someone who likes to relax and do nothing,
especially in winter. There we go.
Look at that. Say that all of those are

(01:25:50):
fitting for you and I would I, Iwould say that I think that is.
How I want people to. No, this is how people how how
others perceive you. And I do agree with that
because, well, one. Well, no, I I thought it was how
we want people to perceive. No, no.

(01:26:10):
The first one is how others perceive you.
The sloth is how you perceive yourself.
Wait, no. I thought it was how we want
people to perceive. US elephant is how you are
perceived OK? How you want people to perceive
you OK. The the first animal is how we
want to be perceived, the secondanimal is how we perceive
ourselves, and the third one is is how how we are, how we, how

(01:26:33):
we, how we are actually perceiving.
Yes, and I do agree, I couldn't see why you would want people to
perceive you in that way. Now the second one, which is how
you perceive yourself actually is a dog.
Loyalty and faithfulness. Loyal is a dog or dog devotion.

(01:26:54):
Describe someone who's very trueto their friends or beliefs.
Friendliness, sociability, puppydog eyes, innocent, appealing,
or someone who is friendly like a golden retriever.
Suggests an approachable and good-natured person.
Obedient, obedience. Submissiveness can sometimes be
used negatively, as in dogs by misfortune or someone who's too
easily LED like a dog. Persistence, determination,

(01:27:18):
dogged persistence means refusing to give up even in the
face of difficulties. Unkempt, rough, dog eared, or
dog tired can simply can imply arough or warrant appearance or
state. I think so.
I think these things in general connect with you, although

(01:27:41):
you're not unkempt, you might belike.
No, no, this beard is a little bit unwieldy.
I like your beard. Maybe, like I mean, sometimes
you don't shave your head all the time.
Yeah, which reminds me, I have to do.
That in the morning. But in general, I feel like you
try to be kempt and obedience. I mean there's some parts of you

(01:28:04):
that can be submissive and obedient, but not that's not
like an overarching. Yeah, I'm not a simp.
You're never using that word again on this, but I guess what
no. Because something ain't easy.
Anyway, the last. 1. Wisdom and intelligence Wise is
an owl is a common idiom referring to someone who is

(01:28:27):
thoughtful, knowledgeable, and insightful.
Quiet and observant. Owls are often seen as quiet
observers, so someone described as owlish might be studious,
introspective, and not prone to idle chatter.
Night person. An owl or a night owl is someone
who's active and prefers to workor socialize late at night.
Well, I think that is true. I don't, I don't think that you

(01:28:49):
are not a night person. I just think that like once you
get tired, you're like that's it.
Yeah, for mine the first one wasCat.
So independence and self-reliance.
Independent as a cat describes someone who values their freedom
and doesn't rely heavily on others.
Grace and agility. Cat like reflexes or moves with
the grace of a cat. You know, someone who's nimble

(01:29:11):
and flute in their movements. Slyness and cunning can
sometimes be used to describe someone who's shrewd, secretive,
or manipulative. Catty Aloofness Coolness Cool as
a cat or someone who's catty might seem detached or
unapproachable. Curiosity Curiosity killed the
cat implies that someone is overly inquisitive.
Playfulness Fickleness can sometimes suggest a playful,

(01:29:34):
capricious, or even unpredictable nature.
So other than the curiosity and the playfulness, none of that.
That none of that is you at all.What, you're not graceful and.
Agile, graceful and agile. Bumping in the shit.
All the fucking time. Bump into it gracefully.
No, the fuck you do not. How do you bump into something

(01:29:56):
gracefully? And I am super playful.
First off, cats aren't playful. This they are, and I am cool as
a cucumber. No, you're not.
OK miss me with their bullshit and I am super independent.
I'll give it to you. I'll give that to you.

(01:30:17):
And I am cutting. Kiss me with their balls.
Whatever. So sloth, laziness or slowness,
the most prominent characteristic.
Describing someone as sloth means they are extremely slow,
reluctant to move and prone to idleness.
Yeah, I can see that. I can see that.

(01:30:40):
May I remind you that I have cameras all over this apartment?
Unenergetic. When I'm at work, sometimes I
just pop in and and and take a look at me and and see what's
going on. See what I'm doing Yeah.
Unenergetic implies a lack of vigor or drive.
Now I will say that these things, the laziness, no.

(01:31:03):
But slowness, yes. I'm very energetic generally,
but like days, there are sometimes when my sometimes
there's sometimes when my mentalhealth is bad that my slowness

(01:31:24):
and my unenerjectedness are at its peak.
Because when my, when everythingis running as it should be, I'm
moving accordingly. And that is unfortunately not a
lot of times. So and I like to be able to move
at my own pace. Like I want to do things

(01:31:45):
quickly, but I also like to movelike with the a pace that I can
handle, but I also don't like it.
I don't like being doing things slowly and or not having energy
for stuff. It's annoying.
It was the one. The middle one was how you
perceive yourselves, right? Yeah.
Yeah. So I don't like that.

(01:32:07):
I love slugs. No, I think I OK, Yeah, I don't
know. I, I, I think that kind of
tracks in some regards. No, I think it does.
I don't think you you like it, but I think it does track.
So the one for how you are perceived for elephant memory.
An elephant never forgets. Refers to someone with an

(01:32:27):
excellent long lasting memory. I'll give that to you.
Yes, I'll give that to you. Strength and size can be
described as a large, powerful person, though less commonly
than bear clumsiness. Oh.
Brother, this guy stinks. Clumsiness, Heavy footedness,
Clumsy as an elephant or elephant in the China shop.

(01:32:47):
Very apartment. Describe someone who's awkward,
ungraceful, and prone to breaking things.
There we go. Facts or lack of finesse?
Yes, facts. Speaking facts right now.
Speaking facts. A gentle giant.
Despite their size, elephants are often seen as gentle

(01:33:08):
creatures, so it can apply A large person with a kind and
benevolent nature. Thick skinned and resilient.
No, you're not that. You're not thick skinned.
You're not thick skinned. Shut up.
There's a whole reason why I don't tell jokes on this goddamn
podcast. It implies someone who is not
easily hurt, offended or hurt and I am not easily offended or.
Hurt, that is. That is absolutely not true.

(01:33:30):
Terrible joke that is absolutelynot true.
Maybe if you said nicer things to me on a.
Regular basis. I would not feel the need to be
like don't joke about me becauseif you joke about me in a good
way, don't joke about me in a not a good way.
I've spent multiple years at this point saying nothing but
nice. Not enough.
Because it's never gonna be enough.

(01:33:50):
It will be. No, it will not.
There's no such thing as. Enough you guys.
It's not enough. You gotta pour into me in a
loving way constantly if you want to be able to get off
jokes, 'cause me, My friends andI juggle on each other all the
time. Oh brother, this guy stands.
Maybe you're not doing what you should be doing in the other

(01:34:13):
way. And then I wouldn't be so
sensitive. Miss me with that bullshit,
bullshit. Saying that to yourself.
All right, that was my cute little game.
Everybody else, please tell us what yours answers were so that
we can talk about them. All right.
And do you want to do what made us angry, or do you want to just

(01:34:36):
do what made us happy and call it?
Let's do what made us happy. OK then, because we're happy.
All right, hold on. Wait.
Because we're happy. Where is it?
OK here. We go service and November give

(01:35:02):
up bathing merchant just a week or two.
I love your baby for you. All right, what's?
Making you happy this week. I was asking you.
Yeah, but I beat you to it, so now you have to answer the
question. What's made me happy this week

(01:35:24):
is that school's out for summer.School's out forever until
September, yes. Or until August, right?
No school start until September?I thought school started at the

(01:35:46):
end of August. No, it's always after Labor Day,
or sometimes it's been before Labor Day, but that's cuz these
stupid new rules. Yeah, school's out, so it's
great. I'm congratulations to all of my
8th graders who have graduated and are off to high school, but
I miss you so much. Even when y'all were on
shenanigans, I still love y'all and my first eighth grade class.

(01:36:13):
So I'm very proud of all you. You only.
Get one first. And, and even though you're
always stalking me and trying tostalk me, they're always trying
to like find my social media pages and we'll be commenting
like, found you or hey, miss eBay.
No, get out of here. I'm blocking you immediately.
There's only one person that I have I have accepted it's

(01:36:38):
because they already graduated and I only just accepted them
like yesterday because now we are officially out of school.
So I will allow you it. And only her 'cause the the rest
of them that like she's has moresense than the rest of her
classmates. But who knows?
