Hawaii, black Business, hudu,hudu.
And are you kinky or not?
Hawaii, I give you the green ofthe day and I'm explaining the
why of this episode.
Happy Hudu, heritage Monthwhoop, whoop.
This month was coined by MamaRoo in 2019.
(02:20):
During this month we honor ourancestors, elders and the Hudu
traditions that some of us knowknowingly or unknowingly.
Yes, we should do that a lot,but this month, because the veil
is very thin, we can connectwith the spirits easier.
I will talk about Mama Roo alittle bit more.
Talk about ordering your stepsin more details in comparison to
(02:44):
the TikTok I made a few daysago and keep it with the
Halloween theme because I love atheme.
I will talk about furriesSidebar.
My bad for being a day late anda dollar short with this, but I
wasn't feeling well.
So, yeah, black Business.
(03:05):
I highlight a Black Business tobring awareness and my
experience with said business,unless I say it isn't a paid ad.
I'm open to paid ads, but Idefinitely want to highlight
Black Businesses.
There's enough money for all ofus to get it.
Mama Roo I learned about MamaRoo from Juju Bay's podcast.
From there, I listened to MamaRoo's podcast called Mama Roo's
(03:26):
Ancestral Amusions.
She has nine episodes, so it'sa quick listen.
Unfortunately, she hasn'trecorded a podcast episode since
October 2021.
I think she stopped because sheaccomplished her goal with her
podcast.
I can't remember verbatim, butit's on one of her podcast
episodes If you want to know.
My favorite podcast episode waswhen she talked about the
(03:49):
Lovecraft Country Show.
Now, look y'all, I really,really, really dig that series.
I also listened to the book.
I enjoyed the book as well.
I'm kind of finding out theauthor is racist, but yeah, but
it was a bittersweet.
(04:10):
I always use that wordbittersweet, but I can't think
of another way to describe it,but it's like.
I loved that particular show,lovecraft Country.
I just, unfortunately, when itdidn't make it to another season
, I kind of understood why,because why would you want to
acknowledge magic exists,especially with Black people?
(04:31):
At least that's the way Ithought about it, but whatever.
So, with that being said, yeah,the episodes are quote unquote
old, but like three years old,but to me, who cares?
The information Mama Rue tellsyou about is still applicable to
today.
Anyway, I learned about who DoHeritage Month listening to her
podcast.
Do you still want to know who isMama Rue?
(04:52):
Let me tell you.
According to her website, shewrites I'm a seer, a diviner and
, in my early 50s, a wife,mother, grandmother, as well as
commander of a feline army.
I have been practicingcardomancy for over 30 years.
I chose the name Mama Ruebecause that is the name Spirit
Fet me.
As for the head and hand part,consider that divination of any
(05:18):
kind requires the use of themind, where the tools used are
combined with psychic intuition,spirit guidance or innate
acquired ability.
It's also where the current'squestions is formed.
The cards are then shuffled,cut and laid out by the hands,
and there you have it.
Her information, as always,will be in the show notes Hudu,
(05:43):
hudu.
I get to the root of Hudu.
Conjure up thoughts that popinto my mind about spirituality.
Come on and get this work.
Earlier this week, a thoughtcame into my head about my
spiritual paranoia, or vigilance, whichever way you want to
describe it.
Per usual, I put it off.
So I couldn't put it offanymore.
Then, blam, blam, I made a tick.
Talk about it.
(06:04):
Now I want to go into moredetails than the three minutes
about laying down tricks, whichis not Memphis slang or dirty
for you dirty mind people outthere.
Well, I mean, laying downtricks can be dirty because it
involves dirt, but you knowwhere I'm going with this.
So laying down tricks is a Huduthing that involves your steps.
(06:24):
So, true to the gospel song,you got to order your steps.
I think the name well, I knowthe name of it.
I hadn't said it incorrectly.
On my tick talk.
I said order thy steps, but thename of the song is order my
steps in the Lord.
Oh wait, now that I say that, Iwonder if that's what it is.
Anyway, order my steps, gospelsong.
(06:45):
Google, look at it, youtube.
You know what I'm saying.
You'll figure it out from there.
So, true to the gospel song.
You got to order your steps.
Now, of course, that song isabout someone asking the Lord to
tell them how to speak, act,talk and walk.
But you know, almost everythingis about Hudu, at least to me,
especially when it comes toblack culture, I believe that
(07:08):
ordering your steps should betaken literally, regardless if
you believe in this Hudu stuffor not.
Nowadays I hear more aboutpeople putting others in jars
versus their foot tracks.
I don't know if it's becausemore people drive or don't live
near dirt roads anymore, or ifputting people in jars is
popular and it's trendy.
(07:29):
I don't know, but I know quoteunquote back in the days, or
currently, people could beworked on by their footsteps.
So not only do you have toworry about your personal
concerns, such as your hair,saliva, sperm, period, blood,
etc.
Being potentially used againstyou.
You got to also add yourfootprints to your list.
(07:50):
Now I won't tell you the herbsto make it work or how to do the
work Nah, that's not my steal-o.
But I will say be cautious andvigilant when it comes to
walking over trash.
What might seem like dog shitcould be some shit you can't get
rid of.
Poor choice of words, I know,but you know I love a good
double untundra.
Walking around the problem, ifpossible, might be the best bet.
(08:13):
Or, as always, carry protectionwith you If you have no choice
but to walk over an object.
I remember the first time Ilearned about foot magic, I
instantly became paranoid.
I know it sounds quote unquotestupid, but I didn't want to get
crossed and you shouldn't wantto either.
Now, sometimes the use of ashoe can't be a good thing if
(08:33):
you want to use it forprotection or as a defense
mechanism.
You know how Monica had saidbefore you walk out of my life.
Well, I might want you to walkout of my life.
And speaking of walking, there'sthis old saying, and I believe
it's true, because story time.
Let me, um, put my littlecursor to remind myself that
(08:57):
this is um, after I finish doingstory time, go back to my
script, okay, so all right.
So there's this quote unquoteoh, wives tells, which is who do
to me where it says that if yougive a man a pair of shoes,
he'll walk out of your life.
Now again, they say man.
I have no idea if that meansyou know man for real, like, um,
(09:21):
a cisgender man, or a personwho identify as a man, or if
they mean man is in humans,because you know they call us
humans, men, stuff like that.
I have no idea what that meant.
But for this particular storytime, I'm talking about a
cisgender man.
Now again, I know, I know, Iknow.
Most of the time I talk about myhorrible exes.
(09:43):
Um, no, you know what a lot oftimes I talk about my boobang
love of my motherfucking life atthe top tippy, tippy, tippy top
and then after that I talkabout my exes and stuff.
I sometimes believe that I wasput here on the earth to tell
people what not to do.
Okay, and so here I am tryingto tell people what not to do.
All right, with that being said, supposedly, if you, um give a
(10:08):
man a pair of shoes, he willwalk out of your life, and, oh
my gosh, uh, ex of mine, um, forChristmas I gave a pair of
shoes and they also gave me apair of shoes and well, we're
not in each other's livesanymore.
Okay, you might not be like,but look, I believe, I believe
(10:29):
that some of those things thatwere um being told that we
consider old wives tales, as Isay all the time believe that
that's who do so.
That could be another way ofwalking out of someone's life.
I know that was a quick storytime, but that was the best
details I could give y'all.
Okay.
So, keeping up with musicbecause, again, you know, I like
to use music within um thewords that I say.
(10:53):
Another use could be Ron DMCand Aerosmith walk this way,
yeah, literally, because peoplelike to control.
All right, use the song lyricsis my kink.
So what I mean by that?
Again, I'm not going to tell youhow to do it, but again, when
it comes to using people umshoes, you could potentially
(11:14):
dominate them with using yourshoes.
Again, that's a form of controlper usual.
Per usual, you gotta know.
I believe you have to know umboth sides.
You have to know what a personcould do potentially to you um,
because, like you know, for yourdefense and then, at the same
(11:38):
time, you need to know a way toprotect you.
Again, I refuse to give detailson how to do things and stuff
because, again, I'm not going tobe, quote on quote, held liable
for that.
And even though, at this pointin time, not a lot of people
listen to this podcast, which Idon't know, why not tell your
friends this shit is cool.
But also, you know, because Iwhole hardly believe and know
(12:03):
for a fact that who do is forour black.
Well, I believe it's definitelyfor black Americans.
But at the same time, you knowif it's a person part of the
African disbar, cool.
But I say all that to say that,yeah, who do ain't for the
white folks, okay, it's not.
I don't care if you want to usethe 1% bluh, it ain't for you.
(12:24):
So therefore, because I knowper my therapist, I can't
control others, I can onlycontrol me.
With that being said, I am onlygoing to talk about well, per
usual, I only like to talk aboutthings as far as like a defense
mechanism to bring awarenessand stuff like that.
I don't like to um have a lotof details and most of the time
(12:46):
I like to at least have peopleum, know, again for defense
purposes, so that they candefend themselves, you know, if
need be and stuff.
Um, I don't want to.
I don't like to encouragepeople to do things to other
others.
I know that soundscontradictory, because I will do
things to others, but again,for me, I do it for protection,
(13:10):
defense.
Okay, I always believe ingetting my leg back.
Anyway, like I said, allseriousness, this is a spooky
season in our midst, so keepyour head on the swivel and be
vigilant when you navigate thesespiritual and physical streets.
You never know how manyfootprints will be in the sand
if you got your face buried inthe foam.
(13:32):
Are you kinky or not?
I'm a proud kinkster of theBDSM community.
Let me tell you about thislifestyle to see if you want to
come over to the dark side.
We got candles.
People barely talk about being afurry.
Barely Get it.
I know it ain't Sunday, but Icouldn't resist it, okay.
(13:54):
So, again, keeping up with theHalloween theme, talking about
furries, the next Thursdayepisode I will talk about pet
play.
Now, a lot of people, theyconfuse, not confuse.
They use pet play and furries,sometimes interchangeably, and
(14:17):
they are two different things.
Okay, so furries areanthropomorphic, while pet play
isn't.
Now, if you don't know whatthat word means, no biggie, I'm
going to explain it, okay.
So imagine Chuck E Cheesewalking around in public and not
just at the workhouse.
That's what anthropomorphicmeans.
(14:38):
It basically means that you seethe human side of an insect,
animal, etc.
Okay, so that's what that means, and pet play is not that.
Now, again, the reason being isbecause when people do pet play
which again I know you willlearn at the next episode but
(14:59):
when it comes to pet play, thehumans, they become the pet.
So it's kind of like opposites,if that makes any sense.
So, yeah, but we're going totalk about furries, all right,
and so another way you can thinkabout this.
Even though Chuck E Cheese wasfirst thing that came in mind,
the second thing that came inmind was the way that some of
(15:21):
the mascots that we have on thecollegiate or professional level
, how, if it's an animal, insect, whatever it walks around and
stuff, and of course there's ahuman inside the costume, but
just like you know, for example,my alma mater were owls.
Like why do we have a person inthe costume walking around?
(15:44):
Because I mean, yeah, owls dowalk, but they fly.
So, yeah, hopefully that makessense, and again, not since such
a intelligence, but yeah, allright.
So furries don't have to besexual, because you know,
chillings can also go to furries, conventions and stuff.
(16:06):
But this one, again, becauseit's an adult podcast, I talk
about the adult side of things,but yeah, whatever.
So did you know that furrieshave conventions?
I mean most things that peopleare interested in have
conventions as well.
So, coming up, there's a furryconvention in San Antonio, texas
, from October 13th through the15th.
(16:29):
So I know that's quote unquotelast minute, but if being into
furried them is your thing,check it out and let me know, or
you know, just Google about it.
What have you?
Okay, I've never been to afurry convention at all.
Being furry is not a kink ofmine at all, but you know,
(16:51):
whatever.
So this furry convention I'mtalking about is called Alamo
City.
Furry invasion isfamily-friendly.
So, again, if someone has achild with them, you know
whatever, they can go and walkaround and even dress up, and
it's not like All out there,because, again, I've been to
kinky btsm conventions notfamily-friendly at all at all
(17:16):
and stuff.
Um, it's for 18 and up, but ifit comes to the hotel parties
which I used to go to, it'sdefinitely 21 and up, but again,
bdsm is an adult only type ofthing, whereas furries can be
family-friendly type of thing.
Now, with this particular Furryconvention that I learned about
(17:36):
, just like you're learningabout right now, they do have
adult stuff.
There's a section for withinthe convention and also after
hours, just like mostestablishments are.
It's only for like 18 and up,if I'm not mistaken.
So, yeah, so, um, rolling stonewrote an article about furries,
(17:57):
so okay, so there's anotherconvention called the Midwest
furfist, and that's outside ofshide town.
The convention has been goingon for more than 20 years.
Continuing with talking aboutthe article, in 2005 about a
thousand people showed up andthen in 2020, 12,000 people
showed up, so it looks like thefurry wave is catching on,
(18:18):
alright.
So let me tell you about thehistory with furry dumb.
It started in about the 1980sat a sci-fi convention.
So, um, what happened was and Ididn't get a chance to Get the
name of it, but some way somehowit was a sci-fi convention and
there were a group of people whoI think it was like they were
(18:38):
into anime and I guess theydressed up as it and then some
way somehow furry, dumb Becameto be and they kind of broke off
, so yeah.
So now, um, if being a furriesis your thing curious, curious
about it or whatnot you got tohave a fur sauna.
If you want to be a furry,because you know fur plus
(18:59):
persona and there are differenttypes of furries, so you don't
have to just limit it to likebeing like the quote-unquote
regular known Kind of furries,like cat, dogs and stuff like
that.
You could be a bunny, a fox, acat, a wolf, etc.
Okay, so, after you havefigured out your fur post, yeah,
(19:22):
your first sauna.
You draw your first sauna, oryou can commission someone to
draw for you.
Then you can have someonemanufacture your furry costume.
Obviously, it can get expensive, which is why some furries just
do the ears and the tails.
Now, when in my ex local kinkycommunity I knew people who were
(19:42):
furries and they were also intoPet play, one of them was a cat
and another one was a wolf andStuff, and so they always were
the ears and the tails.
And you know, because of that,that's um, how?
Because they were the ears andthe tails, that was their fur
persona and that's how theyidentified with the arm furry
(20:09):
part of it.
Now, one of them I always sawalso would do pet play where
this person's husband was theowner and they were a cat and so
, like I said, even they justlike maybe what two, three years
ago got married I can'tremember, I'm not cool with them
anymore, but anyway that waswhen they were getting to pet
(20:34):
play.
One of them, like I said, was acat and of course would wear
the ears, but that's when theywould get down on the ground and
walk on all fours, meow andstuff like that.
They even did a kinky class inmy local community about pet
play.
So, again, like I said, somepeople can be into both, but
they're two different things,all right.
(20:55):
So the reason that most of thetime people get ears and tails
is because the costume can beexpensive and y'all it can get a
hotter than Memphis Tend to Keyin October in that costume.
Okay, now when it comes to yourtails, oh my gosh, the tails can
be butt plugs with the furrytail on the end or like a
(21:15):
regular tail.
Now, yeah, if you did not know,yeah, like some butt plugs are
not the quote-unquote warrenones where you know, you just
stick it on your butt.
I mean not on you, stick it inyour anus and stuff like that.
There's some butt plugs thathave jewels on the end of it.
Some have on tails on the endof it, like yeah.
(21:35):
So it's not just like.
I mean of course it'sthree-dimensional, but in this
sense it's not just likeone-dimensional, where the butt
plug is just that.
It can be like real cutesy ifthat's your thing.
So that's what I meant by thedifferent ways.
But, um, most of the time when Isaw them because they were the
only ones that I remember therewere furries and or inset pet
(21:56):
play and stuff.
But most of the time when Iwould see them, they would just
have the tail out with whateverclothes that they have on and
stuff like that.
Okay, so again want to justremind you that there is nothing
wrong with you being a furry.
If you're doing it for the kinkor if you're doing it for
vanilla, it's not my thing.
(22:17):
I just like to bring awarenessto the different types of kinks
that exist out there because,who knows, you might be curious
about it.
All right, um, I do want to letyou know, at least in my
experience.
I knew of someone when we didgo to Chucky Cheese that was
freaked out by Chucky Cheesewalking around in the
(22:37):
establishment.
So just be mindful that thereare some people out there that
might be freaked out about it.
And going back to the RollingStone article, if you didn't
know, when you do wear yourfurry costume, of course it gets
hot in there so you might haveto take your top off.
(22:57):
But you know there are showsout there that always show kids
screaming and freaking the out,freaking the fuck out.
I don't know why I decided tolike edit myself with that.
That was weird.
Sometimes they freak the fuckout when they see like the human
takes their top off.
But yeah, so again, if that'ssomething that you're interested
(23:20):
in, please take breaks, cooldown and just know that you
might not be able to see withthat on, which is why at least
some of the mascots that I'veseen, sometimes they have a
person, like again with mymascot of my alma mater, there
was always somebody walking withthem to go places, because it's
very difficult to see.
(23:40):
So if you go to a convention andyou are dressed like, that
again might be hot, might bestinky too, no matter like how
much deodorant and things thatnature you put on like, yeah, it
just might be hot in there.
You know what happens to ourbody when we get super hot stars
sweating profusely and we'renot hydrating, etc.
Etc.
So again, those are one of themany not to like steer your way,
(24:02):
but that's like one of the manyreasons that, when it comes to
people participating in fairiedthem, where they usually just do
the cat and the ears, now Iremember and this is like the
vanilla my now I'm not sayingthis is about to be another
story time.
Now I'm not saying that theperson who did this with the
(24:22):
story that I'm about to talkabout was a furry, but like I
don't know, this thought I didjust popped into my head of
about you know, the vanilla waysof me experiencing furry don't
okay.
So there's this.
So back in the day is myworthless brother.
He's nine years younger than me, so he was into Barney, so I
(24:44):
can't remember which birthday itwas, but Barney came into town
and the dude that we found andof course this was pre-internet.
So I have no as I say this outloud I have no idea how my
family even found this person,but came through to the house in
the bunny in the Barney costumeor whatever like that, did a
(25:06):
little dance song voice,everything like that.
And I remember we talked to himafterwards and yeah, he was
saying how freaking hot it isbeing in that costume and stuff
like that.
So yeah, so that's the coolthing at least that I think it
is when it comes to some ofthese things that our kinks is
(25:27):
again.
You can be hidden in plain sightand stuffs where you know
people could be into furries andall the adult things that come
with it.
But like you just see it andyou're like, oh, these are just
some quote-unquote weirdostressed up like this, or you
know they're doing this for agame, blah, blah, blah.
You know.
Next thing, you know, Iremember seeing a movie I can't
(25:48):
remember what movie it is andyou know, next thing, you know,
you know furries out out on thebeach getting it on.
So yeah, alright, I've talkedlong enough, q out.
