Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey y'all, and welcome to the newest episode of
this Is how it Ends podcast.
I'm Nell, I'm so and we're herefor a new episode, so let's get
into it how you doing so.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Girl, I gotta put this out there.
Lately like things have beenmoving in my house.
I bought these planters peanutsand I put it in the pantry.
I went I looked all over thepantry, like I mean I looked up
and down all over the pantry,nothing.
I go back and it's right there,like two days later.
I'm like I looked here.
I know I looked here.
I'm going to start takingpictures of stuff.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now, didn't you need to document this and didn't
something like this happen?
A little bit, there was someweird stuff happening before.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, like the fan in my room was on and I don't
remember turning it on.
But there was another thing.
My husband, fabian, got thispre-workout thing that was on
the counter.
I remember seeing on thecounter.
Normally if I clean up, likeI'll put everything away.
If it's out, I don't care, it'sgoing somewhere, all right,
because I want it out of mysight.
But I didn't clean up like youknow, like stuff was still on
the counter.
I didn't put anything away andlike like he's asking he's like

(01:03):
where did you put my you knowpre-workout stuff?
I'm like I don't have it.
I didn't touch it.
I remember seeing it.
The counter has not beencleaned, so it should be there.
I think like a day later it'sin the garage on top of his
toolbox.
He's like I did not put it there.
And then his workstation, hecalls me.

(01:28):
He was like hey, did you, didyou unplug all my stuff?
Because he had his mic, hiscamera, his keyboard mouse all
plugged into.
It's like, oh, you know one ofthose everything he's like did
you do?
I'm like why would I?
Why would I do this?
Why would I come to your deathstation and unplug everything?
So I don't know if I should belike saying this out loud.
But hey, you know we cool, allright, all right, I'm just yeah,
we just want to put it back.
That'd be nice.

(01:49):
Appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
We don't want any ghosts, but if we are going to
have ghosts, let's have somefriendly ass ghosts, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, I know.
I hope it's friendly.
I even had this woman come tomy house and she's sage, so I'm
going to have to sage again.
I'm not going to call herbecause she costs a lot of money
, just sage.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Try to sage before the week begins, just to clear
out anything and to give mestrength to go to bed.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's how I'm doing, girl.
How are you doing?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm doing okay.
I wasn't feeling well last week, but since I wasn't feeling
well, it was giving me a chanceto maybe watch some things that
I normally wouldn't, and sothat'll be a segue into the
Meghan Markle show.
So this is normal-ish, butthings are not that normal and

(02:42):
we actually have a few thingstoday, so we're going to start
with I call it Megan, not soremarkable, get it Right.
So do you follow the Royalfamily?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't, and the obsession with them is really
bizarre to me.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
It's a bit bizarre, but after watching the show then
I just started, you know, to doa little deep dive or whatever
deepish dive, so we'll get intothat.
So, with love, megan is aneight episode lifestyle series
that premiered on Netflix onMarch 4th 2025, hosted by Megan
Duchess of Sussex which there'ssome weirdness around that too

(03:26):
and the show features herengaging in various domestic
activities, such as cooking,gardening and hosting celebrity
guests like Mindy Kaling andAlice Waters.
Now Go ahead girl.
I was like, okay, you know.
First I was like, oh, this is,this is cute, this is it's light

(03:49):
.
You know, first of all, shedidn't even film in her home.
It was in some other, likemansion in montecito, which is
fine, it was another mansionlike her mansion?
It wasn't her mansion, it wasjust a different mansion that
they rented just for the show,for her to cook, you know, and

(04:09):
if we could have Martha Stewart,I mean, if they can have Martha
Stewart, why can't we haveMeghan Markle, I guess, um.
I don't, I don't understand thatbecause you know, martha does
the whole cooking lifestylething, so why can't Megan?
I enjoyed it, it waslighthearted, but it's gotten

(04:38):
people a bit of a tizzy and I'mnot sure why.
But I made some guests kind ofbased off of the what I saw and
also people's reactions.
So she likes to sprinkle edibleflowers on a lot of things and
sometimes like, okay, girl, thisis cute and all, but I don't

(04:59):
want daisies all up in my donutsand shit, I don't want that.
Now, the most egregious thingwas her one pot pasta.
Her one pot pasta, okay.
So she's like okay, one potless dishes, all right, let's go
.
And so it was like somevegetables that she put in the

(05:22):
pot.
Then she took the spaghetti.
Now, this is the controversialpart.
So she took the spaghetti andinstead of you know you just
boiling in the pot like how younormally would, she puts the dry
spaghetti in the pot with alllike the other stuff she was
cooking.
And then she takes boiled waterand then she puts it in the pot

(05:50):
with everything and it makesthe noodles.
And so all of a sudden,everyone's italian like, oh, I'm
italian.
Oh, I can't believe it, I wouldnever do that.
Mama me shut up.
Okay, if this is what she wantsto do, there's a whole bunch of
one pot things, people justmaking like a big deal out of it
.
Then they were just also pickingat the fact that she was like
oh, you know, when your guestscome over, you can make some
homemade bath salts for them.

(06:13):
And I was like a girl byabsolutely, you get these clean
sheets.
Okay, if I like you enough,I'll give it my bed, but my sofa
pulls out, that's what you'llget.
But even then it seemed likeshe didn't do it the right way,
because you can't just putessential oils.
You have to put a carrier oiland then you have to put the

(06:34):
essential oil, otherwise it'stoo strong, so you may use the
bath salts and then the burn andyour hoo-ha.
So people like, oh yeah, peopleconsume Meghan Markle, for you
know, having these bath salts,that can harm you.
And I'm just like what?
Yeah, it was this whole thing.
Just people just saying how badthe show was, just how out of

(06:54):
touch she is, and it's like isshe married into the royal
family?
Is she supposed to be down toearth?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, royal family, is she supposed to be down to
earth?
Yeah, was she first of?
All does.
Does megan and is it harry?
That's the guy right here.
Does megan and harry need themoney?
Like why is she doing this?
Like I don't understand.
Maybe because she was an actorshe wants to be back, you know,
behind the camera, like what isthe purpose of this?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
so Megan and Harry has a like a development deal
with Netflix.
So I don't know what they'relike, how many shows their
contract has kind of like what.
Like Barack and Michelle hadsome kind of contract, netflix
too so they had theirdocumentary Harry and Megan, and
and then now they had some kindof show reality show called

(07:48):
Polo, which I heard no onewatched, and now there's this
thing, and then they also had todeal with Spotify for podcasts.
So I don't, from what I know,harry got quite a large
inheritance from the queen whenshe passed away and he got the
larger one because he's not thenext in line.
The next one is what is it,william?

(08:11):
She was like alright, sis,you're not going to have it.
Here's some money.
Guess it's pity money, I don'tknow, but either way they're
rich and you know you're richwhen you're seeking refuge in
Tyler Perry's compound orwhatever it's yeah, people are
so conflicted about, well, theyhate her.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
They really hate her, right?
They really hate her.
And she complains a lot aboutbeing bullied and all of this
other shit.
Like just get out of thelimelight, like I don't
understand.
You know, like if you're apublic figure and people are
always seeing you, they're goingto attack you.
And I got to say we live in atime when people are obsessed

(08:51):
with wealth but they hate seeingit flaunted.
People are angry Because it'sreally hard out there.
You don't want sprinkling edibleflowers on your table.
If your guests come over, makemake them from that it's a
couple of things so like.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I just don't feel like why does she have to be the
one that's down to earth whenthere's a lot of famous people
that are out there doing likedumb stuff, stuff, stuff for
money?
I just don't know why thepressure is on her.
But I do also think that she'ssomeone that does want the

(09:31):
limelight.
You know, we know we throw theword narcissist around quite a
bit.
However, after doing somediving, I was like, yeah, and I
think she wants to be liked,but're just not likable like in
that way.
Not everyone has that kind ofpersonality where it's like, oh,

(09:52):
I want to watch someone cook.
There's some people that couldjust sit on the sofa and you're
like, oh, they're entertaining.
She's just not one of thosepeople.
But she tries so hard that itcomes out really cringy.
But you can tell like thepeople that were supposed to be
her friends like really weren'ther friends.
Every she was just tryingreally hard and even Mindy

(10:14):
Kaling was just like oh girl.
She was like oh, you can makethese ladybug christinies for
your, you know, next, your kid'snext birthday party.
She's like child.
I didn't, I hired someone to dothat.
I was like right on party.
She's like child.
I I hired someone to do that.
I was like right on, mindy,okay, because if I could hire
someone to do, you know likewho's gonna sit there and do
this and you have all this money, and so what?

Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm hearing is it wasn't authentic, right?
If something is not authentic,people pick up on that.
And she doesn't have to be, youknow, down to earth, relatable
like that.
If you ever watched beyond,like I think beyonce is like so
far, I don't think she's human,like it's just, it's not
relatable as a person, butpeople still love her yeah, but

(10:55):
there's definitely people good.
Yeah, I don't think she needs to.
You know, you don't have to be,I don't, she doesn't have to be
down or she doesn't have to beanything.
But my point is she'sconstantly complaining about
being attacked, but then sheseeks the limelight and she does
shows like this.
But you know what that's toyour point.

(11:15):
Maybe she does love thelimelight, then whatever.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I guess, but it just seems like you ever seen.
What was that show?
Was it Flavor of Love, when NewYork says give it up delicious.
You look like a man.
Which one was deliciousDelicious?
Was that the one that Flavended up choosing over New York?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, that is Like New York is the Capricorn queen.
She is the queen of reality TV.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Have you seen her?

Speaker 1 (11:50):
lately she looks nothing like no.
And for a while it was going inkind of Muppet territory, and
then she bought it back a littlebit.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's like me.
They look nothing like the waythey did.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, I just don't understand people that get
plastic surgery, look likesomeone else and then have kids,
knowing that your kids mayinherit your features, and then
what do you tell them?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
it's just very weird to me, but there was a lawsuit,
and was it in china, with theman's suit and the woman's?
It's like I didn't know youwere this ugly.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
But Megan in the show .
There was a part with Mindywhere she was just.
She said something like oh,Megan, Markle, and she was like
Markle, I'm Sussex now, I'mMegan Sussex now.
And I guess Mindy had this looklike I didn't'm Sussex now, I'm
Megan Sussex now, and I guessthen he had this look like I
didn't get the memo, sis, youknow Was she joking.

(12:51):
It wasn't a joke.
No, I guess it was real, butit's like you know, sis Is the
last name Sussex.
I don't understand Some videosthat said you can take the place
where you're like lord or ladyof and that can be your last
name when you do shit like this.

(13:11):
Because this make up your mind,okay, it's not hopscotch you in
, you out.
First they wanted to dosomething where it was like a
hybrid like this, ain't no nineto five, where you're partially
with the crown and then you'repartially in LA.
What does that make sense?
Where you have the taxpayersmoney, the British taxpayers

(13:31):
money, going to your lifestyleor whatever, and then you can go
and be celebrities like they'resupposed to, whatever the crown
represents, whatever they'resupposed to be doing, they's
supposed to be a bit moredignity with them, as opposed to
, you know, the shenanigans ofHollywood and whatnot.

(13:51):
And just you know the deeperthe dive that I did get into,
just in terms of how she justtried to mimic Diana so much,
which is very weird, becauseHarry has this mother wound, you
know, because of what happenedwith Princess Diana, and so even
wearing like down to like, thesame outfits, this northwestern

(14:13):
sweatshirt and then, yeah, forsomeone who has been attached to
his family all his life.
This woman comes along and allof a sudden he's like I renounce
my throne.
You know, it's just like that'swhat abusers and narcissists do
they isolate you from yourfamily and it's just like, all

(14:35):
right, not saying this man isabused, but there's some
manipulation that's happeninghere, you know.
So I don't know.
Girl, I was trying to be on herside a little bit.
At first.
I was like what's wrong withpeople?
Let her make her little donutsand whatnot.
Yeah, then, when I thoughtabout it, I just think as a

(14:56):
whole um, these celebrities needto start marketing things that
we could actually use.
Okay, I don't want any moreliquor.
I don't want any more liquor.
I don't want any more donutsand baked goods.
And Megan, okay, now here'swhere I draw the line Her little
preserves, jams or whatever.

(15:18):
First of all, she kept oncorrecting people when they were
calling it jam.
She's like no, it's not jambecause of the sugar ratio, the
sugar to fruit ratio.
Girl, don't, nobody care, allright.
So then she I looked up howmuch these preserves costs, or
the preserves and the honey, andit's like $25 for some

(15:40):
preserves, 25.
25.
The world is going to hell in ahandbasket.
Sorry, this is a side you everheard of the grocery store
called Erewhon.
No, it is like the one of themost expensive grocery stores,
if not the most expensivegrocery store in the Los Angeles

(16:04):
area.
And I hear they're going toexpand and so I've heard about
like they'll have smoothies forlike $20.
And then the smoothies will beattached with some star or like
Hailey Bieber smoothie, whatever.
And so now this new thing is Idon't know what kind of
marketing-ish is this?

(16:24):
They have a single strawberrythat comes in a case for $19.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
And people buy it.
And people buy it Like we'recomplaining about eggs that cost
$20 for like you gotta fightfor eggs, girl.
You gotta fight for your lifefor eggs.
Okay, I don't like.
There's just such a disconnect,right like the economy is bad,
people are losing their jobs,but then they're they're doing
all of this like who's buying?
Like?

(16:52):
I need to know like who'sbuying this?
Like?
Who are the people that justhave lost all their brain cells
and have decided, if we'remarketing something for, like, a
single strawberry for $20, I'mgoing to buy it.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
So if I ever buy a single strawberry for $19, you
can befriend me in life online.
That is insane.
That is absolutely insane.
But on a good note, I read thatspending has gone down.
Consumer spending has gone downthe most it's had in like two
years or something like that.
So maybe people are, you know,getting the picture now.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
There's a movement, though, where it's like I don't
recall the exact name of it, butpretty much encouraging people
to buy what you need.
Right, and I'm trying to keepthat in mind.
If I go to the store, if I hadto go to Target, I'm just buying
what it is that I came for.
I don't need to see yourswimsuit, I don't need to see
your sweats or none of that.

(17:58):
Like, just buy what you need.
So there's a movement.
I don't know Some of these are.
They go up and down.
The economy is really bad.
I'm not spending extra money.
I went to the store to buyundergarments.
I'm like how much is this Girl?

(18:19):
Do I have a coupon for clothes?
I could get an extra 10%.
I don't want to pay 20 yearsfor this.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, no girl, wait, you get, like the, the extra big
titty bras expensive as hell.
Okay, girl, it's a curse, and acurse okay, because the bras be
hella expensive.
All right, like shit's real,but yeah.
So back to Megan.

(18:47):
Um, when she released it onNetflix, it was actually a
global top 10 across 47countries, so it did have a good
initial viewership.
Um, and there was some there'sa of criticism, but there was
also some people that you knowliked it as well.
But basically the main, themain argument is that it's out

(19:10):
of touch, she's not likable, andher friend, who she's making
this, like, hey, your friend'scoming over, make them a basket,
whatever kind of situation.
And so she already had the bathsalts and then she took they're
already like the pretzels withthe peanut butter in them.
So she took that out of heroriginal plastic bag then put it

(19:31):
in a cuter plastic bag and thentied it up.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
I was like, alright, sis now, when you come to visit
me, do I have to create a?

Speaker 1 (19:42):
basket for you?
Absolutely not.
Um.
So, look, I'm like here's thething I, when I entertain, I
like to.
I like for there to be a vibe,I like things to be on pretty
plates, like I can get with thattoo.
I like flowers and stuff likethat.

(20:03):
But you know there'slimitations.
It's it's what I got to there,and maybe I'll pick up some
flowers from like Trader Joe'sor something.
But I will say that I did lookon the TikTok a little bit and
there were some women that wereinspired, just it's.
Maybe it's not necessarilyabout we can't afford all these
expensive things, but it's moreso being intentional when you do

(20:27):
have gatherings, and sometimesfor me I, I like things that are
pretty and so I like to putthings on a pretty plate.
But I got that plate from thegoodwill, you know.
So that's kind of how I have.
I'll balance it out like here'ssome food.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Here's some drinks.
Here's some drinks.
I mean, that's not the best.
I'm not.
I like to have people over, butI don't like doing fancy shit.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Oh girl, no I like sleep.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
My life is just relax .
I'll have food, I'll havedrinks, but I don't think I'm
gonna plate it.
Really very pretty, like youknow, I'm I feel like, so
someone like you like you'll gosomewhere and you'll see
something you'd be like, oh mygod, this would look good with
like this on it, right, likeI'll go.
I'm like I'm so over.
I'm like I, I don't know, Idon't know, I'm so put up with

(21:20):
it and you don't call it.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
It's gonna taste good , that's it see, that's not
everyone's, that's noteveryone's thing, you know, and
because I love you, so I acceptthis part of you.
But for me, if I'm goingsomewhere, if I have to travel
and there's no presentation, Ifeel away.
I feel away.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
So I'm gonna give you presentation, I'm gonna to be
no presentation when you comeout here.
Okay, You're going to be fedAll right.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Always happy to eat the kids' snacks.
So many kids' snacks, oh mygosh, eat your baby snacks.
Invite me to your house at yourown risk, okay.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Maybe some coconut rice, maybe some jerk chicken.
It's going to be all the food.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yes, there'll be good food.
I'll eat girl.
Hey look, this is why I havefriends that are adults that
live in houses in the suburbs,so I can just come and bask in
that adult life, yes, yes.
So overall, with Meghan Markle,I appreciate the intentionality

(22:28):
, but girls those preserveprices are absolutely ridiculous
, and so I'm not sure who youmarketing to, because it seemed
like a very simple recipe and,though I initially thought she
was getting hate, I could seehow annoying her show was.
But you know how I do.
I definitely hate watch.

(22:49):
So I will be tuning in forseason two, which really isn't
season two.
They just recorded 16 episodesin just a little half, but I'm
going to have fair feelings, I'mgoing to watch.
I'm going to watch it just tosee, like, what people are
talking about.
Um, I thought it was light andI was like, okay, this is nice,

(23:10):
but then I can see how annoyingit is too yeah, um yeah but
before we move on, whateverhappened to celebrities making
all their money with other musicor movies and then just fade
into the background?

Speaker 2 (23:25):
now it's like they need to have like a liquor, they
need to have like a food, theyneed to have all these
commercials.
They need to do voiceover.
It's like do you not haveenough money?
Like I don't.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Maybe they don't.
They don't like the musicbusiness nowadays in terms of
streaming, what you get it'scents on the dollar it's not a
lot.
Most people make their moneyfrom touring to my do.
The other day I saw a video ofmariah carey on the stage.
Now we know mimi phones it in.

(23:57):
Okay, we know she'll give youjust like, she'll give you a
little shoulder, but y'all, Ithink she actually fell asleep
on the stage.
I hope she's so someone.
What song was it?
It was more like, it's justlike, and then she woke up.
But at least she was back, like, and she started singing again.

(24:19):
So at least she.
She fell asleep.
I don't know she's takingsomething.
I don't know, but I'm like Mimi, you're rich, why are you out
here doing this?
What's the need?
Why are you so?
I don't know if part of it islike people's egos.
They want to be out there, butalso, the music business is just
not the same as it's not, but Ithink she has all the money,
but yeah.

(24:39):
Mariah Carey.
She musical Shout out to herAgain.
I mean her marrying Nick Cannon.
I just questioned some of herlife decisions but we all can't
be great at everything.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
But Mimi on her.
She could live off of her oneChristmas song okay.
Yeah, so I'm not sure how do weneed to even someone like
Beyonce right.
You don't need that Levi'sjeans, which fit her very well,
by the way.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
They do because.
I have a pair of Levi's jeansand I look like a sack of
laundry in the jeans right, Ijust don't have the same effect.
But I don't know.
I think to be famous, there hasto be some narcissism there.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
You have to be, I guess, I guess you have to be
relevant, right, and if youthink people want to always be
relevant.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yes, and you have to have a brand.
It's not just you sing.
You have to do most.
I mean just how us regularfolks.
It is a lot of work, just likeus regular folk that talk about.
You have to have two, threejobs.
You got a big job like you gotto make money and just fade are

(25:54):
you kidding me?
I saw something, but they saidthe gangnam, gangnam style,
whatever they're like.
Yeah, I would be like him.
Just make that one song, makemillions and fade into oblivion.
But actually he's actuallypretty popular in Korea and he's
not faded into oblivion.
That's the only song maybe weknow.
But yeah, that's girl, I onlyneed one hit.

(26:16):
Okay, just one hit.
Take my money and go.
Okay, pay off my debt, buy me alittle something, invest the
rest and take just like onelovely trip with all of you.
And that's it.
Yeah girl, yeah girl.
That's what I would do.

(26:36):
I don't just one being in thespotlight.
I don't know how people do it,I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
It's work Like when you talk, when they talk about
like people who like create,like content creators, right,
that's why they get crazier andcrazier, yeah, and they're
always happy, like you alwayshave to be online.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
That's wild.
But yeah, the cult of celebrityas a whole I feel it it is
dying.
And um, you know from what Ihear these cowboy carter um
tickets.
First hobby told me there'ssome tickets, there might be
some tickets for 36.
I said get out of here.

(27:13):
But then I saw it.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
I was like I'll pay 36, even 100 people don't have
money, like they're so out oftouch.
Yeah, it's like people arestruggling.
That's why I don't get peoplewho idolize these entertainers.
They can't relate to the commonpeople like.

(27:35):
Especially someone like abeyonce, like maybe she came
from you know well, she wasmiddle class, but up actually
kind of upper middle class,upper middle class but she's
like she's been where she's atfor so long I don't even think
she probably doesn't know howmuch, like a banana cost by what
thirty dollars, like, I don'tknow she's gonna be like trump,
who is trying to buy groceriesfor that he just picked up some

(27:56):
random shit like popcorn.
I'm like bish, yeah I don't, Idon't, I don't understand like I
.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Just I don't expect these people to be relatable.
Honestly, and I think it'stheir entertainers, it's what
they do, it's my choice where Iput my coins, you know.
But I was.
But I wasn't paying a crazyprice to see Beyonce, but I paid
$36 to be in the nosebleed.
Sure, I'd do that.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, I won't pay $36 to be around all these people.
I don't know where the nextbathroom is.
I gotta stand on line for likea time just to pee and miss
happy performance.
No, thank you.
I'm not a Beyonce hater.
I enjoy Beyonce.
I might listen to her albumsthree years from when they were
released.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
I'm a fan.
I'm very much a fan, but I'malso a realist.
I'm not going to sacrifice mybills to see Beyonce.
She's a fellow Earth sign.
I'm not going to sacrifice mybills to see Beyonce, so she's a
fellow earth sign.
I'm here for it.
And probably the last vestigeof female entertainers that
actually entertain.

(29:10):
You know, she actually puts inwork.
I don't know what's going onnowadays, yeah.
So in other news again, I didn'tknow what to talk about there
was a on March 9th it waswomen's day and there was a
protest in Chicago because Trumpand Musk hate everyone that is

(29:36):
not melanin deficient, notstraight and has a vagina.
So shout outs to the peopleshowing up in Chicago.
Also, tesla stock has dropped.
Shout outs to everyone thatbought that ugly ass Cybertruck.
But I kind of wanted to talkabout the whole DEI rollback, to

(30:05):
talk about the whole DEIrollback, but it's gotten so
petty-self.
I don't know if you've seenthis happen today, so this
happened last month, but thearticle was released today.
So I call this breaking up theband.
All right.
This is how petty this is Right.
So, february 2025, thepresident's own US Marine band
canceled a scheduled concertthat was to feature high school
musicians of color selectedthrough a competitive audition

(30:28):
process.
This collaboration, organizedwith the Chicago based nonprofit
Equity Arc, aimed to providementorship and performance
opportunities for young BIPOCmusicians.
The cancellation was attributedto recent executive orders
directing federal entities todiscontinue diversity, equity
and inclusion initiatives.

(30:48):
A Marine Band spokespersonconfirmed that the participation
in the event was canceled inaccordance with these directives
.
Canceled in accordance withthese directives.
So you mean to tell me thatyoung students of color who
auditioned which I'll talk aboutthat right who auditioned

(31:08):
earned to be a part of thisprestigious band, got the little
hopes yanked from them becauseof DEI?

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Cruelty is the point, that's it.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
I just why?
Why would you do this to thesekids?
And it says the decisionaffected approximately 30 young
musicians nationwide who hadearned their spots through
competitive virtual auditions.
Stanford Thompson Equity ArtsExecutive Director expressed
disappointment, noting that thecollaboration was intended to
expose students to militarymusic careers and provide

(31:44):
valuable mentorship experiences.
And so I just think it's reallypetty, because I think there's
a confusion with affirmativeaction versus DEI.
They're two different thingsand to be like okay, we're

(32:05):
against creating environmentsthat not cater to but that keep
in mind other kinds of peoplewith other kinds of abilities.
It's not just race, it's allother things.
I remember for work, when Iused to have to, when I was
holding interviews forcandidates because people might
be neurodivergent, that we hadto like give them questions

(32:28):
ahead of time so they had chanceto like prepare or whatever,
and that's under the deiinitiatives.
So it's not just okay, you'reBIPOC, there's other things to
consider as well, and I thinkit's just so petty to just take
this away from these kids.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, and you know they talk a lot about
meritocracy, right, Like youshouldn't get ahead of the
marriage.
But if you look at his cabinet,it's not a meritocracy.
It's who he knows, who hethinks are loyal to him.
It has nothing to do withmeritocracy.
I think the ambassador toFrance is like his son-in-law's

(33:06):
father.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, it's meritocracy, I guess, when it comes to others, but
when it comes to them, it'snothing apart.
It's rules for thee, not for me.
To them, you know, it's nothingapplies.
It's rules for thee, not for me.
Like there's just like like hiscabinet, are people who don't
even have that background butsomehow are placed in positions
of power Because they know him,because they paid him a lot of

(33:28):
money.
Musk is where he is right now,not because he's any good, but
because he pumped a lot of moneyinto Trump's campaign.
That's why he's at his.
I need to know what Musk has on.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
What is the South African equivalent to?
To Santaria?
I know it's Voodoo, but it'sprobably different parts of
Africa.
What is going on?
Who does Musk know Like I justdon't understand this control
that he has.
But just to the point whereit's, it's really impacting

(34:07):
people's lives and livelihoodand, again, dei isn't
affirmative action.
It's not creating laws andpolicies so that certain people
actually have a chance.
It's like the people are here.
Let's make sure that we haveenvironments that are conducive
to like everyone just being thebest, just having a chance.

(34:28):
You know it's not leveling theplaying field.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
But they don't see this.
I go to any company that has adei policy.
You look at their workforce,you look at every single level
and the hiring you go like youdon't see a lot of diversity
within.
So DEI is not takingopportunities away from you.
The numbers are not even movingthat much.
I worked in legal for so longLike and they've had, they've
had DEI for like decades Likethe number of the number of

(34:55):
associates, like you know, likefrom like years to like five.
They increase.
They've increased a little.
When you get to like thepartnership rank, like meaning
you know that's when you haveequity, that's when you know
you're making the big bucks.
Those numbers might have movedfrom the 80s to today, like 0.1%
.
So I don't know where theythink.

(35:16):
Like you, you go in any ofthese places.
There's a lot of spaces, you gointo you don't see a lot of
diversity.
Nope, just don't like dei wastrying to help with that because
they say diverse teams arestronger yeah they don't care.
You know it's like, if no yeah,I'm just but people love it

(35:41):
right, because it's like youknow, the white man needs to be
back on top, as if he was everon the bottom and again like
what is, what is this, what isgetting rid of it ultimately
gonna do?

Speaker 1 (35:55):
because, at a rate, even just males in general,
they're not enrolling in schoolslike they used to, even in the
job force, and so it's just likethis is not gonna help them.
You are taking down barriersthat aren't even there.
Just clear barriers, child,just clear barriers.

(36:15):
I don't get it.
All this dei DEI is justblocking Caucasian greatness, I
guess.
I guess that's what's happening, that's what it is, yeah it's
just very stupid.
But yeah, the Marine Band,established in 1798, is the
nation's oldest continuouslyactive professional musical
organization, traditionallyperforming for the president and

(36:36):
the commandant of the MarineCorps.
This recent executive orderhave led to the cancellation of
this and potentially otherevents associated with DEI
initiatives, and so I was alittle bit curious, right?
So this is for the Marine Corps, or whatever, and so you don't
want BIPOC babies performing,but you eventually want them to

(37:00):
be in your armed forces.
And so I was like let me take alook at the racial makeup of
the Marines, just out ofcuriosity.
So it is 72.9% white,non-hispanic, but then when you
get to the Hispanic or Latinonumbers, it's approximately
19.9%.

(37:21):
That percentage is actuallyhigher than the percentage of
Hispanics in America, which is19.5%, which is wild.
And then for Black AfricanAmerican it's approximately 8.7%
, and our actual percentage inthe United States is 14.4%, so

(37:41):
it's over half if we'recomparing percentages.
Oh, but the baby's campaign,you're playing your band, right?

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Mm-mm, absolutely.
It just feels cruel to me.
The rationale doesn't makesense, like there are other
things going on.
Yeah, that's why I think thiswhole DEI thing is just a
smokescreen right.
There's other shit that'shappening.
He's trying to dismantle thefederal government.
Yeah, but no one's payingattention to that.

(38:10):
There are a lot of things he'sputting into place that people
think, well, it's not going toimpact me until it actually does
impact them.
Yes, like DEI doesn't justimpact like people of color, it
impacts people with disabilities, it impacts veterans, it
impacts a whole lot of people.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
You know, you know.
So if you have a kid with the,what is it?
One of those like IEP plans inthe schools?
Whether you're white or black,that impacts them as well.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yep plants in the schools.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Whether you're white or Black, that impacts them as
well.
But all they think like we'rejust so focused on Black people
are just so focused on.
If this benefits Black people,we don't care who else it
benefits.
We need to dismantle it.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yes, it's definitely systemic and it's definitely
it's the same with welfare.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
We're not the majority of people on welfare
Black people are the majoritypeople on welfare.
But it benefits us, so we haveto attack it and dismantle it.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
That's all a conspiracy.
I hope you are all happy, thosethat have voted for Trump.
I hope you are all happy.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
It's a cult, so they are happy when you're in a cult.
It's a cult, so they are happy.
When you're in a cult, it's notrational.
You think everything that'shappening, it's not going to
impact you, it's for the betterof whatever, this country is
going to hell in a hand basket.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Okay, it's going to go fast, okay, I'm just really
just I got to get myself right,not to say the lord, but I gotta
get myself right, okay, just incase it comes, because at this
point I don't know what's gonnahappen.
It just all doesn't seem real.
And also, the new season ofBlack Mirror is coming out next

(39:52):
month, so I need to see thefirst and the second.
Yeah, you need to go becausefirst and the second?
Yeah, you need to because it'shappening.
It's happening.
Yeah, all right For my laststory.
Back to another Megan.
I am titling this Run, megan,run.

(40:12):
So Jonathan Majors, oh,jonathan Majors, I don't know
what he did to who, because thisman has been on I'm a Negro
campaign for a while.
Okay, his outfits have improvedfrom March on, selma realness,

(40:33):
and Megan has made him lookreally good.
He's eating cheddar biscuits atthe Red Lobster.
He's going to all of the eventsyou know maybe Essence Fest,
naacp, he's out there.
He's really blacking it up.
At first he used to look like,oh my goodness, all these blacks

(40:54):
, but he's gotten used to it nowand I think somehow she did
help rebrand his image.
Almost almost had me kind offorget.
This man is a fucking abuser,right.
So he, he has a movie.
He had a movie that he did awhile ago called magazine dreams
.
I saw the trailer and I waslike, wow, this looks really
good.

(41:14):
But I don't know what he did towho.
But something popped up recently.
So there is an audio anunreleased audio obtained by
Rolling Stone magazine where headmitted to strangling his
ex-girlfriend.
The conversation was capturedin the aftermath of the

(41:38):
days-long fight between Majorsand his then-girlfriend,
professional dancer Grace Jabari, in September 2022.
The Marvel actor had beenliving with Jabari in London as
he filmed the second season ofthe Disney series Loki, where he
allegedly became angry atJabari.
Became angry at Jabari.
According to a since-settledcivil lawsuit filed by Jabari

(41:59):
last April, she alleged Majorsslammed her into a car, dragged
her back inside their home andstrangled her, and the unearthed
audio tapes captures Jabariconfronting Majors about the
alleged attack in the followingdays.
Okay, I'm gonna recreate this alittle bit, majors, I'm going

(42:19):
to recreate this a little bit.
Majors, I'm ashamed of ever.
Major begins before cuttinghimself off.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
I've never been aggressive with a woman before.
I've never aggressed a woman.
I aggressed you.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
What.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Who talks like this?

Speaker 2 (42:34):
That man is not real.
He's a clone.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Something's wrong with him.
I've never aggressed a woman.
I aggressed you Child.
There's something wrong withthis man?

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Is he reading from a script Like I don't understand
this.
He thinks he's a clone.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Like there's no charm .
So she says you strangled meand pushed me against the car.
Jabari interjects and he sayssays yes all those things are
under-aggressed.
Yeah, that's never happened tome what is?
All these things areunder-aggressed.

(43:07):
What?

Speaker 2 (43:10):
she released that.
She released that audio.
But she's like you, ain't younever gonna let you live this
down?

Speaker 1 (43:15):
because he got off.
I guess he just likes some,maybe community service or
whatever.
And then she says because Isaid something sarcastically in
your eyes, Jabari says.
He says, well, clearly, it'smore than that.
And she says something insideof you.
He said, yeah, towards you.
Major agrees.

(43:36):
Before the recording endsGirlbot, what does that even
mean?
What does that even mean?
Absolutely not.
I don't know who he did to what, but I felt like this man was
clawing his way out of justspending so much time with Black

(43:57):
people, all that sacrifice, andthey just popped out and showed
him.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
You know what, though ?
He would have been back on top,and he left Megan behind and
gone right back.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
You know that's what I don't understand what Megan is
getting out of this that youcan't really love.
Like you sat in the courtroomyou heard a recording where he
expected a white woman to beCoretta Scott King sis.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
We like to uphold our Black men, even when they might
not do the same for us.
We fight for them.
We are on the front linesdefending them, thinking they're
misunderstood.
Maybe she thinks because it wasa race thing, you know, the
woman might have brought them to.
I don't care if she did.
I don't care what she did, butI don't care either.

(44:45):
You could say stuff to her, butto your hands or something.
That is disrespectful.
That's crazy.
Something's wrong with you.
That's crazy.
I'm a whole adult.
Like don't put your hand on me.
That's crazy.
And he has a history Likethat's the thing.
Like abusers, if you've done itonce, that means you've done it

(45:05):
before and you'll continuedoing it.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
He has a history of doing these things and so you
know, going back to when he wasin college, and so you know I
don't get men who hit women.
I understand the psychologybehind it.
What I don't understand isMegan making that choice to be
with him.
I wish her good luck, but Idon't know how you can ignore

(45:37):
this and want to be tethered tothis man.
There's probably something init for what I don't understand
how her being linked to anabusive man does anything for
her career or anything for herprofile.
And this is someone who, forthe most part, really hasn't had
too much.
I mean, there was a time whereshe dressed kind of skanky to be

(45:59):
a first lady because herhusband was a pastor but I mean,
maybe like again going back tolike people wanting to be
relevant in the limelight, likebefore this.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Were we really talking about megan good?
No, now we are.
Now she's like she's top ofmind.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I hope they go to their separate domiciles and
they just hang out together.
However, I have noticed in thepictures like she just looks.
Megan has always had a greatbody, but she's looking a little
thinner and I feel like that'sand just like working out,
almost like thin, muscly, likethe hard-faced women that he
normally goes for, and so I justfeel like he's trying to like

(46:42):
turn her into that, when herbody is just beautiful the way
it was.
I don't know, maybe I'm justlooking too much into things,
but yeah, so good luck to MeganRun.
Girl run, I don't know how youcan still hold your hand besides
this man, because you know, ifhis career was on the up and up,
he would not even fart in yourdirection.
We need to love ourselves moreas a whole.

(47:06):
Yeah, well, that's it for anormal, not so normal-ish.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
I wanted to talk about weird shit.
Yeah, so I wanted to talk aboutweird shit, yeah, um so almost
like dystopian, oh okay allright, I think.
I think all my stuff isdystopian.
There's this article I sawwhere scientists have apparently

(47:37):
created a woolly mammoth mouse,so a mouse with mammoth DNA.
So we can't solve our actualproblems, but we're going to
make a prehistoric furball.
And.
I know it's a company calledColossal Biosciences.

(47:58):
It's a company that's beentalking about de-extinction, so
bringing back the woolly mammoth, that's like top of their list.
You know, bringing back thewoolly mammoth, the Tasmanian
tiger and even the dodo andtheir whole, I mean the whole
mission is basically JurassicPark with grant money and better
PR.
And now so this is this mouse,allegedly is just, it's a test

(48:18):
subject, right, a way to see howmammoth genes express in a
living organism before they go,you know, before they go on to
the full thing, before they gofull ice age and remix it with
elephant.
Because I think that's whatthey're going to do.
They're going to take thatmammoth gene and put it into,
you know, their closest relative, the elephant, and do that.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
But for why?
I don't understand why, I don'tknow I didn't care what the
mammoths were doing before how?
What does it make sense?
Does it make to be a mouse?
But you have mammoths like youinside.
You're a mammoth but you can'tdo mammoth things because you
got mouse parts.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
Okay, look, I'm 5'10 in my in my heart, but my five,
one and three quarter body won'tdo it I just think, like every
time I see something like this,I'm just like yo, we are so
unserious, right, like we arejust so unserious.
We have, like climate change.

(49:21):
We have.
You know, billionaires arebuilding bunkers like we can't
even get healthier figured out,and someone's in a lab being
like yo, how do I fucking createa mammoth?
You know?
First of all, when it comes tomice, they breed like crazy.
So there's something wrong withthis shit.
We are fucked.
Yes, we are so, because theyjust they like.
They just breed like crazy.
So there's something wrong withthis shit.
We are, yes, we are so becausethey just they like, they just

(49:42):
breed like crazy mice.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
We're called mice myths yes, we're not.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
We're not curing diseases, we're not saving coral
reefs, we're just.
This is what we're doing.
This is what we're doing withscience.
We're not ending world hunger.
I don't even understand it, andI know people are saying like,
oh, we need to understandevolution.
I'm like, okay, that's cool andall, but this like I like?

Speaker 1 (50:06):
I don't, absolutely not.
Is this getting federal funding?
Is this going to be pulled?
So they're pulling all thesethese programs and stuff like
that for things that we actuallyneed First of all it might be
getting federal funding, becausesomething like this is right up
the Department of Defense alley, right.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
So if we can do something like that, I don't
know what else we could thinkthrough.
So I'm always like if we, howare we going to end?
You know, is it I?
We're going to be taken over bylike my smiths, just my smiths.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
What can I?
Understand they're not going tohave like tusks, like the
mammoths.
They don't have the size, soyou're just gonna have a mouse
with like a mammoth complex.
I don't understand what?

Speaker 2 (50:55):
first of all, has no one seen Jurassic Park?
Like Jurassic Park?
That's true.
Okay, that's true.
Movies are there with animalstaking over.
There's a show called Zoo.
I heard about that show.
Is it good?
It is good, where, pretty muchyou know, animals evolve, they

(51:20):
hate men, they hate men, theyhate man because we are.
We kill them, we hunt them, wetake away their habitat.
Um, there was.
It came to a point where, like,they had to segregate, like you
know, it was like one part,it's like a small portion was
like just for, um, humans, andthen animals had another side,
so and they were like theseunderground places where you

(51:41):
could still go to eat beef, butshe had to like super secretive
and it's like it was like Iheard.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
that was good.
Let me check that out.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
It was good.
It was good.
But Cause TV I can see thathappening Cause I think mother
nature is like I hate y'all,like I hate y'all, we're like.
We're like the mammoth mice,the mice myths, mice, mice myths
.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Yes, I just don't see the point, like I don't see the
point.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
I don't like.
I am not a science hater, rightLike there's just there's so
many good that's been done inall of that.
But when you hear aboutbillions being used for certain
things, it's like I get it, butcan we take care of people first
?
Can we make sure that we'rehealthy?
We have access to all of this.

(52:33):
We have access to health yeah,there's no food deserts.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
We should be trying to find, like like
agriculturists, to find likedifferent areas where you can
grow food and cultivate it, likethere should be other ways to
use science we're so like wedon't care about, we don't care
ultimately about survival, likeI don't think we do, because if
we do things differently.
You would not be selling 19strawberries, no, if we cared
about survival.
And I don't think we do,because if we do things

(52:57):
differently, you would not beselling 19 strawberries, no, if
we cared about survival and Idon't give a shit about, like
you know, the history of ourevolution.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
If I can't afford housing, yeah, and food, like I
don't give a shit, like I don'tcare it's real like.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
So people are living in hotels.
Now that's how living in cars?

Speaker 2 (53:15):
yeah, that's how bad it is, and every year it gets
worse.
You know, and these companiesare like regular profits, but
we're gonna lay off half of ouremployees.
We're gonna replace you with aiand I'm always like who's gonna
buy your shit?
Like who's going to buy it?

(53:36):
Like I don't even understand,like consumers and we can't
afford it they don't fit beyond,like the next quarter?
and how much profits can Isqueeze like five years from now
, when, like who knows how manypercentage of the population is
unemployed and like don't havehousing or base, like who's
gonna buy your shit?

Speaker 1 (53:56):
yeah you know, no girl, I have to stop my amazon,
so I was just buying shit justbecause it didn't make no sense.
But also we're supposed to bekind of boycotting with, like
the target amazon.
I forgot all the yeah, sodefinitely, target was easy for

(54:17):
me.
I don't go to Target like that.
Amazon was harder, though Idon't be watching stuff on Prime
anyway, so that's fine.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Yeah, I don't go on.
There are people who are buyingstuff from Amazon like every
other day.
It can be like that Like wherethey're telling people you know,
probably can't completelyboycott these places, but be
more intentional, right, youreally need those jeans, like,

(54:45):
you really need like that cutebracelet.
You know, just, there's a lotof stuff that we just don't need
, and I'm guilty of this.
I bought shit that I don't need.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Girl, I am so guilty and I'm trying to like, and then
I get I'm like you know, andlike I don't need this, you know
, and so I'm definitely tryingto declutter and then that's it,
like I don't, I don't want itanymore, I don't, I don't.
Yeah, you know, shout out tothe mysmiths the the mysmiths.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
There's so much stuff we do that just seems like it's
just counter, survival counter,just yes, as a whole in all
realms.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
And you know they want us to be sick, sad and
broke.
But at the same time, if we alllike as you're saying, if we're
all that way, then who's gonnabuy, who's gonna consume, who's
gonna be your audience?

Speaker 2 (55:48):
it's gonna be no one left there was a show I was
watching where I guess the majorevent happened.
It wiped out most humans.
They're living in this, they'vecreated a society, but it's not
a lot of them.
Amazon just keeps dumpingpackages.
They just keep dumping.
No one is asking for it, butthey just keep dumping.

(56:11):
It wasn't Amazon, but somecompany, but you know it was
Amazon.
The things that deliver thepackages of the ai.
Like it just keeps.
It's like once you put it butno one is.
They don't need this shit.
Like yeah, the world, like theworld is over, like everything
is gone, you don't need.
What am I?

(56:32):
I'm gonna wear a nice dresswhen I can't even eat.
Shout out, looky here.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Okay, we're not long-term here, I don't know how
we last this long, but we'revery unserious people, like you
said, just very unserious people, yeah, so we've gone quite a
bit.
So I did have something to talkabout briefly, in the kind of

(56:58):
the vein and what we normallytalk about, which is, you know
how you talked about projectstargate using psychics, um,
just by, well, you know, that'sup my alley.
So I looked up, uh, somethingcalled project jedi, because
there were several otherprojects before that and they
all kind of kind of went intoone, and so actually there is a

(57:21):
movie that was inspired byProject Jedi called the Men who
Stare at Goats, in 2009.
So, um, the Project Jedi, umwas a part of the broader set of
military experiments into newage psychic techniques, remote

(57:42):
viewing and super soldiertraining.
The general idea is themilitary wanted to see if
soldiers could developparanormal abilities, and these
paranormal abilities werestopping an enemy's heart just
by staring at them.
Oh child, I wish I could do that.
Just be like bitch, what yousay, um.

(58:10):
Another one is um walkingthrough walls.
Now I wonder how they testedthat, like you got to test these
things right.
So people crashing into walls,I don't know.
Another one is becominginvisible.
Another one is usingtelekinesis, moving things with

(58:31):
their mind and the main one thatwe all know remote viewing,
seeing things at a distancepsychically.
So what do you think about that?
So like do you?
I know we believe in like Idon't need to believe in
astrology and all those things,but what about paranormal
psychic warfare?

Speaker 2 (58:51):
I totally believe in that.
I think there's a lot of thingswe don't even understand, that
science can't even understand,that the, the military is
looking into that stuff, andthere's like you got to go.
There's like stuff that'sdeeper than that, right, if you
look up the Monroe Institute andwhat they've been into, like,

(59:11):
they're like a huge part of that.
So if our military is behindthis and looking into it, I
think there's a lot to it and Ibelieve in all of it.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
I believe in it too, and I definitely think there's
this push to kind of link thesethings to it being evil or the
devil, and it's not necessarilythat this all depends on whose
hands you put it in, I mean, youknow, but people actually do

(59:46):
have gifts, people actually cando things and if we harnessed it
correctly, I think we can healand be better as a people on a
whole other, different level.
But of course you know, as awhole, we just take things and
right it's, like, you know,voodoo, right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
this was the religion of our ancestors.
Villainize it.
You know, we say this is whybad things happen.
Like, like what, if you thinkabout it.
What has christianity done foryou?
Right, like you know, and wesay this is why bad things
happen, like, like what, if youthink about it.
What has Christianity done foryou?
Right, like you know, theyjustified invading these
countries because they wanted tobring the Lord to the heathens.
How did that work out for you,right, like?

(01:00:30):
You have a whole continent withso many resources, but yet it's
so poor and somehow the peoplewho have access to those
resources are not even fromthere.
So I'm like, how is thatChristianity really working for
you?
Right, like voodoo's thevillain, really.
But Christianity is going tosave you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Yes, but before, when we had our own religions,
weren't we kings, weren't wequeens?
Weren't we thriving?
Yeah, until this foreign man'sreligion came in and just
totally brainwashed us.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
I'm like yo if the rapture ever happens, every
single christian is when we letthem.
Not all of them, but there's alot of them, there's.
There's a good amount of them.
There's.
There are some good with.
So there's a good amount ofthem.
There are some good ones though, yeah, but I think if the
rapture were to happen, likeChristians say it will, I think

(01:01:24):
about 90% of them will be leftbehind.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Yeah, especially those that voted for Trump.
You're getting left behind.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
I just think a lot of stuff that is tied to
Christianity is just it's notgood, it's not good, it's just
not.
And then, as soon as you havelittle tarot cards, oh, it's the
devil, bring it a garlic and across Child, let me.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
They justified slavery because of some obscure
passage.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Yeah, slavery because of some obscure passage?
Yeah, slavery.
Blasphemy like abuse, like allkinds of things.
The bible has been twisted andcontorted, you know, to
basically strip certain peoplesof their humanity, and I would
like to believe my god wouldn'twant that, for at least my
people, I don't believe that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
If you're saying someone is pushing the message
of love, the Bible contradictsthat.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
Every time In the Bible.
God is jealous.
God is petty.
God is smiting left and right,smiting children, siping out
places.
God is a hot-ass mess, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
There are people who they take the message of love
and all of that and they dobelieve in it and that's fine,
but I don't think it's saving.
I don't think Christianity iswhat's going to save the world.
First of all, we're creating,we're resurrecting mammoths and
dinosaurs.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
We got the anti-Christ Trump, we got
mammoths and dinosaurs.
We have people trying to stayalive and be insentient beings,
so probably the evil cancontinue to perpetuate.
The only good thing that wethink about generations like
dying off is that hey, we canstart over new.
But no, these people want tocontinue to perpetuate the

(01:03:25):
fucketry and they're usingscience and whatever to.
They don't want to die, theydon't want to let it go, they
just want everything you know,and that's why they're building
these bunkers.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Have you watched that new show with that guy?

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
Not Severance, not Severance.
I need to watch the secondseason.
You need to watch it.
I just got into it.
I didn't want to have to payfor the episode, but I did and
it's so.
I need to finish up the secondseason.
I have like want to have to payfor the apples, but I did I
need to finish?

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
up the second season.
I have like two more episodesleft.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
The first season was wild, so we could do a whole
episode on severance.
Maybe we should.
We could do a whole episode.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
But there's that new.
It's a show by that guy, it'sthis black guy is it called
Paradise?
Paradise, yes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Hulu.
I don't have the Hulu.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
First of all, there are a lot of shows about these
rich people who are, you know,who are creating offset
societies.
You know we're obsessed withlike the Mars and the moon and
all that creating colonies upthere.
If they can get that shitworked out, I hope we're being

(01:04:50):
left behind.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Can I put my reservation on Affirm or Klarna?
No.
I doubt it, okay, well then, Iam screwed.
We're screwed, we're screwed.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
It's almost comical.
You're going to have all thesebillionaires up there.
And no one wants to do anything.
No clue on how to do anything,because people do stuff.
What's that show?

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
don't look up oh, that's a movie I don't think
I've seen that it will be themovie.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Well, any of the the rich people manage to escape to
another planet, to one of thegoldilocks planet, and then just
they get there and get eatenbecause they're stupid.
Yeah, they see it's like, oh,what is that?
And they just get eaten.
So we went on all sorts oftangents.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
We did go on all sorts of tangents, so I will
skip to.
Okay, the goat staringexperiment, the most infamous
part soldiers were supposedlytrained to stare at goats and
try to kill them with theirminds.
Some reports claim a goatactually dropped dead from this
experiment, though some peoplesay it's exaggerated.

(01:06:07):
The goat was already sick.
I mean, why?
I like goats, why we gotta dothis to goats.
There's no other.
I mean, no animal deserves that, but you know anyway.
So there are a few peoplebehind it.
Um, jim channing, who was thehe proposed idea of the first

(01:06:31):
earth battalion, a military unittrained in psychic powers,
alternative healing andJedi-like abilities Like this.
Could I mean we have likeMarvel and stuff like this, but
this would be a cool like actualaction movie of like the First
Earth Battalion.
He literally wrote a manualabout turning soldiers into

(01:06:54):
enlightened warrior monks.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Wow, that's interesting.
I just found that they do a lotof experimentation on people.
Like, who are they doing theseexperiments on?
That reminds me of Wolverinefrom X-Men, that's true, that's
true.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
But here's the thing, though.
This is why this wouldn't work,because if you have these
powers and you have theseabilities, I just think you
would naturally be someonethat's healing and go towards
the light.
And so him saying, like youdon't think so, enlightened

(01:07:31):
warrior, monks like I that seemslike an oxymoron to me.
Like enlightened monks?
Sure, an enlightened warrior?
How, like?
How do you decide?

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
if you're still, you can be enlightened and not
really be about the common goodbut that wouldn't make you
enlightened well, what is okay?
What is in like when we sayenlightened?

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
I just I just think, in terms of having a certain
awareness about things, acertain knowledge, I associate
it with a bit of a spiritualknowledge I just feel like it is
.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
I feel like being enlightened means it's knowledge
right, being able to see thingsfor what they are, like you
know, just beyond regular humanunderstanding.
You can do good with that oryou can do bad with that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
Yeah, I just think that I don't know.
I think for the most part youhave to get people that have
these gifts or powers anddefinitely brainwash them,
because for the most part, ifyou think about people that are
truly gifted or talented in thiskind of realm, a lot of time
they're not rich people, a lotof the time like they see shit

(01:08:44):
for what it is and it's like ah,I don't, I don't want to be
bothered with these earthlythings, you know.
So to have someone and havethese, these gifts, you kind of
you have to pervert them andturn them in a way.
I don't know if the two wouldbe able to exist.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
You could also have a godlike complex that you know,
because you might look at thisworld and be like you know these
people are screwed becausethey're awful and they're just
so mean to each other.
Maybe your enlightenment mightbe like maybe they're not wrong
for this earth, maybe we shouldjust wipe it off and start again

(01:09:22):
.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
Right, start playing.
Yeah, I just in general.
Once you are just aware it can,it can make you.
There's a period where you getkind of disillusioned about
things and that's a possibility.
So, yeah, another officer wasJohn B Alexander.
Oh, john B, one of my favoritepeople, a military officer who

(01:09:47):
was super into paranormalresearch and helped push these
ideas with the pentagon.
And then there's some otherpeople they list and they were
psychic spies from the StargateProject which we've talked about
, who also crossed paths withthe Jedi warrior idea.
So did any of this work?
They say not really.
Despite a few coincidences andclaims, the military never

(01:10:09):
created a squad of real-lifeJedis.
Eventually the government shutdown these psychic warfare
experiments, but some insidersclaim research into
consciousness, intoconsciousness, intuition and
enhanced human abilities stillgoes on behind closed doors
there's a lot of research that'sgoing on that we don't know
about.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
First of all, the pentagon.
Their budget is like a truelike in the trillions and
there's a lot of it.
They could never balance theirbudget right if they get audited
.
Thereited there's a lot ofmoney that not that they can't
account for, but they will notaccount for.
So imagine I run a business andI get audited and I can't tell

(01:10:47):
you where this billion dollarwent.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
The IRS would be all up in that ass For real.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
So we have a crazy budget.
That's one budget that will notget cut.
No, but they like a crazybudget.
That's one budget that will notget cut?
No, you know.
But they have a crazy budgetand they there's a lot of it.
It's tied into these blackoperations.
You know that they it's likeand they'll just say national
security.
Yeah, there's a lot of shadyshit happening.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
There's a lot of stuff and again people will be
talking about you know peoplethat are into this stuff, or
spiritual people, and they tryto make you know fun of people
like this.
I'm kind of into stuff likethis, but it's like y'all don't
know, we don't, we don't know,you really don't know we live on
this planet where there's somuch of it like we haven't even

(01:11:36):
explored.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
I just think there's.
I think there's so much wedon't know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Everything is a theory.
How the world like, it's all atheory, like we have no idea.
We might even be a simulation,right, we might, we might About
like these.
You know creating these avatarsand like living.
So it's like Well, I wonderwhat simulation package I could
About like these.
You know creating these avatarsand like living.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
So it's like Well, I wonder what simulation package I
got.
You know, I must not have hadenough money.
Wherever I have no money, thesimulation is poor.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Can you imagine right ?
It's like depending on how muchyou know you pay Like that's
your lifestyle.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
That's the money you have.
That's like depending on howmuch you know you paid like
that's.
That's your lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
So, yeah, that's the money you have.
That's crazy.
I would like to think I hadmoney in a former life.
I thought part of me hopes likethis is just it's a simulation
just to show these enlightenedpeople, like I'm using
enlightened, yeah, yeah, just toshow this at this advanced.
Like I'm using enlightened yeah, I'm using it Just to show this
advanced society that'sprobably super peaceful.
This is what happens whencertain things are in play.
You get earth, you get theghetto, so maybe that's what it

(01:12:50):
is.
They peak here.
They're like we're not going todo any of this shit where we
are, but it's not I, it's not.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
Maybe we get a lot here, though it is Well, that's
all I have about the JediProject.
So now we're on to shadyastrology, where I get in your
Zodiac's ass.
It might still be Pisces seasonand I already got into Pisces
ass.
So we're we gonna talk aboutall this retrograding, and well,

(01:13:20):
I'm not talking about theeclipses, but it's like eclipse
season, we doing Mercuryretrograde and Venus retrograde,
so we got a lot going on, andthat might explain why I had to
get a new iPhone, because my 12just conked out on me.
Child, I was trying to hold on.
Is that why things are?

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
disappearing for me and then reappearing.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
Maybe, maybe girl, maybe girl.
So right now, both Mercury andVenus are in retrograde.
That's right, folks.
The universe has officially putus on hard mode.
So if you've been feeling likelife is like a bad Wi-Fi
connection, that's becauseMercury, the comic glitch in the

(01:14:03):
Matrix, is running the show,and Venus, oh, she's here to
make sure your love life, bankaccount and self-esteem all take
a synchronized nosedive.
All right, look, venus is onsome bullshit today.
I complained about this on theInstagram because all these old
ass men trying to talk to metoday I don't want that.

(01:14:24):
So I don't want that.
Just hearing Sanford in thebackground, oh man, just I don't
want to hear that.
So Mercury and retrograde beganon March 15th and will continue
until April 7th 2025.
And Venus in retrograde startedon March 2nd and is expected to

(01:14:47):
end on April 13th 2025.
So for Mercury in retrograde,communication is fried, so you
might be trying to send yourlittle boo thing and I love you
text.
You might text your boss.
Instead.
Your GPS tells you to take aslight left and you end up going

(01:15:08):
into a lake.
That happened on the episode ofthe Office, by the way.
And every email you will sendmysteriously vanishes, but every
embarrassing text from 2014will resurface.
And that's actually kind oftrue.
That happened to me.
Uh, venus, in retrograde love,beauty and finances also fried,

(01:15:31):
okay, it's just all gone to shit, running into your ex and their
new partner while wearing yourworst outfit.
That kind of happened to me.
It wasn't an ex, but it wasjust somebody and I was like, oh
, let me go out the house.
I was just who, girl?
I was looking.
She's homeless, like someone.

(01:15:54):
I was just looking hot ass mess.
Okay.
Um, your favorite hairdresser,uh, was taking a spiritual
retreat the same week.
You desperately need a glow up.
Um, your online shopping curse.
Everything looks amazing in thepictures, but arrives looking
like it lost a fight with araccoon.
Um, so here's some tips to staysane, or do the best that you

(01:16:16):
can during this retrograde intime.
Do not text your ex Mercury andVenus and Cahoots, and they want
you to fail.
Girl, you know that man ain'tgot no job.
You know he living in theauntie and them's back in the
projects.
He ain't got no headboard.
He got his sheets from bobby's,you don't?

(01:16:39):
You better not text that man.
Okay, not bobby's.
Yes, bobby's department storeif you know, you know, um, back
up your tech.
Your phone will act like it'spossessed and honestly, it
probably is.
Let me tell you something.
Okay, my iphone 12, which I'mtrying to hold on to, I was like

(01:16:59):
, look, you know, sometimes Igotta delete stuff and stuff
would disappear, whatever.
And then one day I was at workand I pressed the number nine
and it went that's it, just along ass beep.
I said, oh, hell, no, it wasshutting off all up and through.
I said, oh, I gotta get a newphone.
Oh, I got to get a new phone.
I did not want to get a newphone.

(01:17:21):
Hold off on big beauty changes.
That haircut, you think, willmake you look like a goddess.
You will wake up looking like adehydrated poodle.
I was thinking about doing somelock bangs, but I don't know, I
don't know how I feel aboutthat.
Hide your wallet.
The retail therapy feels good,but venus will have you out here
buying 300 crystal waterbottles and thinking it's an

(01:17:44):
investment or a 19 strawberry.
So buckle up, folks.
We're in for a bumpy, slightlyridiculous and completely
unhinged cosmic ride, but we'reall in this together.
Just keep it in your pants,don't text your ex, and you know
your stuff will be acting alittle shaky for a while.
But you're tech.

(01:18:04):
I don't know if this any ofthis applies to you, so you
don't have to worry aboutrunning into an ex or anything
like that yeah, I would like myexes to not ever exist around me
.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
