(00:00):
Hello everybody, my name is Atticus and my name is Hope and you are now watching The White Refrigerator. Welcome back y'all.
(00:06):
The White Refrigerator
(00:26):
Hello everybody, welcome back where we're keeping you fresh in the world of myths and helping us feel better together.
Because lord knows we need it. It's been a week ain't it? We ain't gonna talk about it but it's been a week.
But how's everybody feeling? Hope, how's your week been?
So this week has been okay. It's been the worst, it hadn't been the best. I'm just kinda like making it through.
(00:55):
I did see something that tickled me the other day and they were talking about all this foolishness that Orange Peel has been doing.
And somebody was talking about he was deporting Native Americans. And I was like where?
Where you gonna send them to?
(01:19):
They were here first. Yeah go around the corner. I was gonna send you around the corner.
So I don't know that it pissed me off but it made me laugh at the same time.
Because I'm like this is a different level of delusion because these people have been here for a couple of hundred years.
500 at best. These people have been here for thousands of years.
(01:41):
So I don't know why that had tickled me. But other than that work is work, home is home.
Have your good days, your bad days. It's just like okay. Just make it through. Make it through. Do what you can, what you got.
I will say this to the point that you made earlier when you know you said something.
(02:01):
I'm not even sure we were recording when you said it. But y'all listen.
I know there is a lot going on. There is a lot going on.
Especially for those of us who actually care and have real human people emotions and empathy.
And basic human understanding.
The goal is for you to feel defeated. The goal is for you to feel worn down, tired out.
(02:29):
Because at that point you just give up and you stop trying and you quit.
And that's when that defeat can actually set in and they can do whatever they want to do.
I say all that to say let, allow yourself to cry, allow yourself to breathe, allow yourself to hurt, to feel.
All those things. And then get back up and fight.
(02:51):
We're not going to hand this to them easily. But we can't do that.
So it's okay to feel any way that you feel. It's very valid.
Especially those of us who did try back in November to actually prevent this from happening.
But don't give in. You're overstimulated. You're overcome. It's a lot.
(03:19):
But do not give yourself the end of the road. We got to keep going.
So yeah, that's that on that.
So my favorite is TV. I've been doing the same thing I've been doing, which is watching Unrivaled.
That's fun. And then new music.
(03:43):
So my cousin Jason and I, who was on an episode last season, y'all know him as Smittyba.
He and I created a playlist of the type of, me and him have a very similar style of rap music that we like to listen to.
We created a playlist on Spotify. I'll ask him if he wants me to open it up so everybody can get into it.
(04:05):
I'm pretty sure you can anyways. But I've enjoyed it.
But I found a couple of new people through his list. I just took a moment to listen all the way through it.
Then I found some people on my own. So this is a guy named Chester Watson.
He has a song with another guy named Eloquent. I hope I'm saying that right.
But it's called Blimpses of God. And it's just I like rappers who say shit.
(04:33):
No disrespect to anybody who's doing anything else. I think all of it has a place.
I tell anybody Tupac and Uncle Luke was out at the same time and we were listening to them both.
So everything has its place. But yeah, I've enjoyed listening to that as of lately.
Just kind of deepening my head and in my feelings. But yeah, TV is really nothing new.
(04:57):
And for music, that's it. So that's my week. How was your week, man, Fran?
My week has been pretty good. Fairly middling, as they say. It sounds kind of a lot like yours.
Not a whole lot going on. When I actually did, there was a thing that happened that weird.
I don't know if I haven't told you about it yet, but I'll definitely tell you about it because it was stupid.
(05:25):
Like funny, stupid or stupid? Like, oh, that's stupid.
Kind of both. Like it's funny and it's like, are we really talking about like this?
Like, I'm really like wasting my time with this. But OK, whatever.
So yeah, one of those things. But other than that, I've had a it's been a pretty good week.
(05:53):
TV has been uneventful. I honestly hadn't been watching a lot of TV.
I've just kind of been like playing my game, watching random stuff on YouTube.
And if you all are just like curious and into a bunch of random shit, there is a channel on YouTube called Animalogic.
And they just discuss a lot of different like random animals. And I watched like this damn hour long series about cats,
(06:18):
like not domestic cats, but wild cats. And they're so interesting and so diverse and all over the place.
But anywho, don't judge me. When it comes to music, this one ain't new to Hope, but she ain't super new to me.
She's really new to me. Sasha Keeble. I ran across, I was letting Spotify do its thing again and it started playing Sasha Keeble.
(06:48):
So at first it played a song with Black and then it played a song called Why?
And that was the one that caught my ear. And I was like, who the fuck is this person singing?
And I sent it to Hope and she was like, oh, you don't remember? And she sent me the song she sent me last year.
I was like, shit, I do remember this. I do remember her. But I just, the only thing I knew from her was that song.
(07:13):
And I didn't honestly remember it was her. I just remember Dustin Conrad.
But after hearing that song, I then went and listened to her whole discography with like a brand new infatuation with this person.
Her music is awesome. That is Sasha Keeble. Other than that, what else has happened?
(07:35):
Shit. It's been a good week though. Just been getting up. Oh, let me tell you this.
I had a TikTok relapse. So you can't download TikTok no more, but you can still actively see it in browsers.
So there was a brief TikTok relapse because I'm a crackhead. But I will say this.
(08:03):
Getting back on TikTok wasn't quite as fun because the piece of shit is doing what it's doing what it's doing.
So of course, that's like what is cycling through TikTok right now. So I'm like, you know what?
Better off without it. I'll just find something else to do instead of sitting here.
(08:24):
Yeah. So, friend, I'll admit I also had a relapse too.
And I got on and same thing because you can't download it, but they made it to where you can like scroll through when you log in.
But it's like super limited in the things that you can and can't do. But it's just like, what is this?
(08:45):
I don't my algorithm algorithm in no more. So everything I see got that that things face somewhere around it or that's the subject.
So I was like, tell me, go, let me go find something else to do. So I could be doing something productive.
(09:06):
I also cut my facial hair. This is going to sound real crazy. The actual reason I cut my facial hair.
What so I could see my chin.
I thought you were going to say they can eat, but.
(09:28):
Now, whoever needed to cut their facial hair for that, I was just.
Need a little bit more motivation. And what's more motivation than walking around like old dude from me and black.
(09:51):
So I can see it now.
Water sugar water sugar sugar water.
(10:12):
A classic. I was like, maybe this will motivate me to do more. Oh, bitch, try to cook today. Not tried. I did.
So I had got me some cube steak like from it was like butcher cube steak. Have you ever had meat from like a butcher like a local butcher?
Yes, sir. I'm not a fan. This is the second time I've been tried this shit. Really?
(10:36):
The shit tastes too fresh and I don't appreciate that taste at all. Like it tastes like they just cut the damn cow.
And even when you cook it, I don't even know how to describe it. First, it has this really.
The smell is bloody as fuck. Like that's the only thing I can describe the smell is even after you season it down and you cook it, you're like, OK, this smells good.
(10:59):
And you bite it and it has that same well, rawness to the taste.
And I was just like, I think I just want to be a vegan again. I can never go vegan vegetarian.
That's how it made me feel. But vegan, I like cheese too much and I like honey.
(11:20):
You can't have either as a vegan. So that's that's true. I do also like ice cream.
So maybe a vegetarian, but that shit literally just made me not want to eat another animal.
I forget. But yeah, that was that's it for this for this week.
Mad about it. But that was it. You don't want to imagine eating a damn zebra.
(11:43):
You was the one talking about that zebra.
The zebra, that zebra look good. Don't lie. That zebra looked how that bear paw look.
Exactly. That bear paw look like pig feet.
(12:06):
It was like so gelatinous. I was going to say when it jiggled, I was like, oh, no, girl.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yes. Weird shit. Because, you know, I've been on child.
I've been on our Instagram page like it's my private page just scrolling and rolling.
You've been liking shit for you. I have.
(12:33):
But I came across a post from a chick from New Orleans.
And she sell candy pick lips.
Wait.
(12:57):
I didn't even know that was a part that we ate.
We're free. We're free. We don't have to. First of all, you know what?
I'm not going to say anything to people who eat what you want, right? Eat what you want.
But what you know, a friend, I try it if they if they eat it down there, anything from New Orleans, I'm going to try it because they be cooking some good.
(13:22):
They be cooking good food. Now, listen, they can cook down. I would never take them.
Never take that from them. They can put me on the stuff now, but I'm not eating.
Listen, I am kind of getting to a place where I'm tired of pork and beef in general.
Like, give me chicken and fish.
I don't know. I love a good turkey.
(13:46):
Turkey occasionally like a turkey. I get tired of turkey. Chicken. I'll never get tired of chicken.
But like a lot of this other I'd be like, you got no new meat out. You got pterodactyl or something. Ain't no new. Ain't no new animals.
Well, they try to feed a zebra, you ain't want it.
(14:08):
Friend, friend, if somebody had not told you that was zebra, what would you have thought it was?
First of all, not telling me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, the violence that would have ensued.
Wait, if nobody told me immediately turned into a Caucasian man on January the 6th with a Make America Great hat.
(14:35):
Zebra.
Make the zebra safe again.
No way.
Wait, if nobody told you, what would you have thought it was?
It didn't look like steak, though.
Not to me it didn't. It looked slightly different. I don't know how to.
It didn't look like a roast to me.
(14:56):
It's something about it. I feel like I would have been like, what cut of meat is this?
Like something in my brain would have been like, what part of the cow is this?
And then they would say some bullshit. It's the left tentacle. See, you were supposed to say tentacle, bitch.
Yeah, nothing.
(15:17):
Nothing but violence at that point, because what do you mean?
We're going to go somewhere one day and I'm going to tell them to lie to you on purpose.
Don't do that.
About a fucking chimpanzee toe or something.
Friend.
(15:38):
As an American, specifically an African American, it is in my nature to tear shit up.
Okay.
Violence is just tip of my tongue.
You know we can't do that in other countries.
That's true. We ain't going to jail nowhere. I don't want to go to jail here.
(15:59):
We better not go to jail nowhere outside.
But ain't scared of America. What is that? It's moose knuckle.
Well, depending on the moose.
I mean, what if it is a moose knuckle?
(16:21):
I. Oh God, friend, you have to edit that out.
Oh, no, stay.
Yes, I'm a moose knuckle.
(16:47):
Do you know they have something called a testicle festival and like one of them.
Northern Midwest regional states up yonder. They got a festival.
I said, bitch, and it was it was like all kind of different flavor bull balls.
It was like these are fried. These have been broiled with garlic.
(17:13):
The way people play too much. I don't. And it's not even that I'm a picky eater.
I don't think I'm a picky eater. I mean, I'm a fat ass. Of course, I'm not a picky eater.
Girl, you can be fat and also be a picky eater. Some people are fat and only eat the same thing.
But I like them people. I'm not picking on them.
I'm not because I am literally like a person and a half from being right there with the 600 pound lives.
(17:41):
OK, I'm right there. I mean, I'm not I just I got a whole nother me to get there.
But to put it in perspective, they do crazy shit like they would be like,
I only eat chicken nuggets dipped in ice cream and I eat it three times a day in the morning,
(18:07):
three times a day at night. Ma'am, you just said six times in a day. No, because there's lunch.
Like I watch one of them and like he was like that, like he ate the same thing every day.
And it was like crazy shit. Y'all look this up. I know it's on YouTube, but he ate like for graphics.
(18:31):
He would eat ice cream, which is bananas to me. I could my stomach.
Would sound I can't even it would sound like the beginning of who is that like the Fox production?
That would be the sound of my butthole would be making like he ate like six ice cream sandwiches or six nutty buddy,
(18:57):
but something like that in the morning, he would have a whole extra large piece and 20 wings and a whole two liter for lunch.
And I can't even remember what because I literally couldn't get past that. It was making me sick on the stomach watching him eat.
So, yeah, I guess so. But anyways, I say all that to say, damn, I'm rambling. I ain't trying to do that.
I say all that to say I I'm not a picky eater, but I I don't like experiment with my food.
(19:24):
Don't because we as Americans don't went too far. Some of this shit we talked about this on a couple of other episodes.
We're cracking jokes, but we have went too far. Fried Snickers and steak, bitch.
Listen, I am not above trying some new shit. I'll try. I'll try this stuff one time.
(19:49):
It does get a one time. If I don't like it, then I don't like it. But I will try most of everything.
I'm not trying to bear claw, though. That shit look fucking it got to look appetizing.
You got to at least look like it's trying because God damn. Well, I'll tell you what.
I don't know. I'll try some monkey paw lips as soon as you try some coochie.
(20:12):
Dare we go? I might I might fuck around and try some coochie and I don't want to hear no excuses.
I don't want to hear no excuses. First of all.
I don't want to hear no excuses. Sir, I'm going to show up to you.
I'm going to show up to your door with a with a tupperware.
(20:35):
A fucking bear claw in it. And I want you to take a bite.
You don't have to show me video evidence because I first of all.
Why is that making you can't be that gay that the thought of me seeing you eat some coochie makes me sick on the stomach.
Like the thought of that makes me want to. Oh, my God.
(21:00):
I turn into a homophobe. I turn into a straight up phobic. Is that a thing?
Oh, I'm a pussy. I turn phobic. I turn straight up phobic.
I turned I turned against the default. I'm going to show you.
I'm going to show you the video. I'm just going to.
(21:28):
I would probably actually go ahead and do my contingency plan because the moment that happens, I don't really need to be here no more.
Bear with the bear.
At that point, Tom, I don't think either one of us need to be here anymore.
(21:49):
Yeah, I'm addressing that. No, no.
Who I've been to the conversion camp and delivered.
No, I like coochie now. I don't like boys no more.
I'm not going to even bring that man's name up because he he like to fight with people.
(22:13):
What's the name Andrew Caldwell? He like to fight with people. I'm right about a lot of stuff though, because he'd be he'd be right about a lot of like like stuff you wouldn't think like he'd be don't be with that racist shit.
He don't be with that culinary shit. But that even brainwashed by that other stuff.
So he is like, I don't like me and no more.
(22:39):
You just took a day 15 minutes ago. Get the fuck out of my face.
That's like Jackie Perry Hill.
For her to be she's converted stud.
And she still look like me, bitch. First of all,
please. She got the most to say about like Kay Lani and like other people like they're just out here putting themselves out there.
(23:07):
No, baby. You have a shrine in your closet.
Get there. They're just living authentically. It's okay.
Tragic. You can do it, too.
And like the came up a little bit.
I got sick and I went I was like, I don't even know. I probably would cut you the fuck out. Like, what the fuck?
(23:29):
You do some stupid shit like that. Were you in danger?
What's going on?
We'll do that straight shit around here.
The Wired refrigerator.
(23:50):
All right. Let's get into the question of the week. And actually, this will be the last question until after Black History Month because it's enough going on.
Just make it through your day.
You can reflect on the past questions.
Shout out to Black History Month. When y'all hear this, this is it'll be Black History Month. So happy Black History Month, everybody.
(24:16):
Yes, especially to us.
Just make it through your day. Like Hope was saying, try not to be overwhelmed by everything that's going on. Shut it off.
Get you a reliable source that you depend on for news and go through it maybe maybe once a week, every couple of days or so.
So you can get the highlights, but don't let that breaking new shit every day.
(24:41):
Be a part of your every day.
It's not worth it.
Yes.
Okay. So the question of the week was, what is the greatest truth I know, but rarely speak aloud? And what holds me back from expressing it fully?
(25:02):
This is not even as deep as you see.
My thinking might be. The greatest one for me is literally, bitch, ain't nobody coming to save you.
You got to be the change you want to see. The time ain't never going to be right. You just got to start now.
And the only thing I feel like that keeps me from expressing that fully is it takes away the fact that I make excuses.
(25:29):
And sometimes I like to make excuses.
Yeah.
So excuse would leave me in the bed another hour scrolling tick tock.
Excuse would tell me I don't feel like going to the gym because I don't feel like going to the gym.
But when are you ever really going to feel like going to the gym?
(25:50):
It's true.
If you be stuck in tick tock, I don't want to get off tick tock right now. I don't want to do whatever else it isn't supposed to be doing.
I just want to do what I want to do. And what I want to do is not going to get me any further. So there's that.
That's my that's my truth.
So at the current moment, my answer to that is that the greatest truth that I know is that peace is only effective if it's internal protest and violence is necessary for external production.
(26:23):
I'm sorry. And the only thing that keeps me from saying that out loud is jail.
I'm going to jail a couple of times and I don't want to go back.
So, yeah, I don't think anything that matters happens peacefully.
I think there has to be some sort of protest, some sort of assertment.
(26:46):
Some there you have to be some sort of brash or bold in order to get shit done. And for the longest time, we've been taught to turn the other cheek and that, you know, to maintain peace.
And I think peace is an internal thing. Peace is something that you have to focus on internally so you can be your most productive self externally.
But when it comes to external forces, I eat things that are not yourself.
(27:08):
Now that that requires a different method of action. So I think that's something that I have learned as of recently and is is continuing to learn.
The revolution will not be televised. And you have to you have to to to really buckle down and say, OK, this is what it is.
(27:30):
And I have to do what it is to get to where I need to be.
Oh, that's so true. Sometimes you got to whoop a bully ass to get him to leave you alone.
Listen, some sometimes I think sometimes that point just is unfortunately, you know, maybe there are scenarios where you talk it out, work it out.
(27:52):
But in most cases, you I mean, look at all the things that people have gained from not being peaceful.
Rather taken. So you want it, then you take it back.
It's true. That was a good one. That was great. Right.
Tried to tell you, we back then.
(28:16):
There's no no, Mr. President, he would he would be up there right now in that wheelchair.
Yeah. Talking about no, Mr. President, let me and my ex man fix it.
You and your ex man, you and your ex man can go back to get no shot.
(28:39):
We're going to send you back on a plane. We're going to send you back on a plane.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
America, this is America.
My ding ding impression is terrible, but you get the point. No, that was great.
Yeah. Yeah. He would again.
It ain't even about Magneto's Paris is about perfect.
(29:02):
Sir, X's powers. There's no way I would have allowed you to control your mind.
You would have been signing all kind of executive orders.
Mutants are allowed in that and that and that.
And it's soon as somebody soon as there is a fucking dispute or a bit of discourse.
Oh, my ex man.
(29:26):
Kill him all.
Well, I'll tell you, it would be a wonderful place with all the executive orders you signed.
Maybe everybody would be happy to go to work.
Everybody would be a productive citizen.
I think that's why Magneto was so pissed off because he I know in his mind he was like, nigga, you you and Jean Gray together.
(29:50):
Y'all could have done all of this. We just shut all this shit.
Immediately. Everybody's in the kumbaya.
You know, but no, you want to go up there big.
All right, y'all. So for Black History Month, what we decided to do was we decided to give you guys something refreshing and exciting.
(30:16):
What we've decided to do is create a list, if you will.
And every week we're going to go through and give you new amazing black people and stories you have not heard of for Black History Month.
And so many times we get told the same people, honestly, over and over again for, you know, the great deeds that they've done.
(30:40):
But it's so much more. What a lot of us forget is black history is, first of all, black history is black American history.
Black people were important before we became captives.
We were important when we were captives. And we are still just as important now.
We had a moment in history where we were not great. So do not ever feel like you are not great.
(31:04):
You are amazing. And we continue to do amazing things. So let's continue to do these amazing things together.
So we want to teach you about people that you may not have heard about because history doesn't necessarily always allow it.
And then after that, we're going to play a fun game.
(31:25):
We love our card games on this show. If you're a regular listener, then you know this.
We haven't done it in a while, but we're bringing them back.
We got a new deck and this deck is going to be hella fun in celebration of Black History Month.
So, yes, for my people, let's get it. So I went with a lady by the name of Faith Ringo.
Faith is an influential African-American artist who is known for her narrative driven works that blend story.
(31:51):
I'm sorry, history, culture and personal experiences. She was originally born in Harlem in 1930.
It was deeply influenced by the Harlem Renaissance and her mother's expertise in fashion design.
She developed a distinctive style that spans across painting, sculpture, performance and quilting.
Ringo's art is notable for addressing themes of racism, sexism and African-American identity, often through her story quilts.
(32:18):
Paintings on fabric that combine imagery and text to tell stories.
One of her most famous works is Tar Beach, which she created in 1988.
It's a quilt that was later adapted into a children's book, marking the beginning of her successful literary career.
(32:39):
Ringo's impact extends beyond her art.
She's used her platform to advocate for racial and gender equality, both as an artist and educator.
Her work, such as the French collection, dwells into African-American history, exploring the intersection of race and art in a global context.
Through her work, Ringo has influenced countless artists, especially women of color, and her art continues to be celebrated in museums worldwide today.
(33:08):
That is beautiful. That is awesome. And I love how recent this is.
Like you actually, not only you get to see her work, but you actually get to see a great picture of her.
And for me, most importantly, and Atticus talked about this, Atticus and I, when it comes to specifically artists, we oftentimes hear like they're like the Billie Holiday stories or the Basquiat stories.
(33:35):
We hear about these immensely talented people who are just super trouble, and they died young or they died terribly.
The people that I decided to go with are people who lived a fairly full life.
There are some exceptions, but most of these people lived a full life, and they lived a happy life, and they contributed to African-American culture in amazing ways.
(33:59):
And I mean, I'm pretty sure they went through life, as we all do, but I wanted to show a celebration of people, Black people actually being successful and making it to the end.
Yep.
All right. So I'll go here.
And here I have, can we still see it? Let me see if I can actually make that bigger. Just a second, y'all.
(34:31):
Okay, this might look a little bit weird. I was trying to find an actual photo of the device that she created.
But this is Miss Bessie Blount Griffin, and she was a woman who made significant contributions as an inventor, physical therapist, and forensic scientist, and her personal life was as remarkable as her professional achievements.
(34:53):
She was born November 24, 1914, in Hickory, Virginia, and she grew up in a community that valued education and resilience, because of course, 1914 at that time, what Black community really didn't value education and resilience.
I feel like that was more so all they had.
So, she attended Diggs Chapel, a one room schoolhouse built by Black members of the local community to educate former slaves and their children. Blount faced challenges early on, including being reprimanded for writing with her left hand.
(35:28):
Something I can definitely understand.
But she took this as a challenge and taught herself to write with both hands, her feet, and even her teeth. The skill later helped her teach amputees to perform everyday tasks by using their teeth and feet.
As a physical therapist, she saw firsthand the challenges faced by amputees and those who had lost use of their hands and she wanted to help them regain a sense of independence and dignity by enabling them to feed themselves.
(35:58):
This concept has been expanded upon and refined over the years, leading to the development of more sophisticated and user friendly assistive technologies.
So she actually invented a device for people to use their teeth to be able to feed themselves.
Now, I was really really really looking for like an actual live picture model but this was so long ago that I guess that doesn't, that doesn't exist or translate.
(36:29):
But this was one of the first assistive technologies for people.
It is after World War II, especially those that had sacrificed so much for the country and couldn't take care of themselves afterwards. So she was a definitely an awesome person.
(36:50):
Another thing I've taken from this is, I mean, black people are awesome. I've always known we were awesome. I just didn't know how integral we were
to things, to everything that is America. Black history is American history.
(37:12):
Period.
But yes.
Alright, so let's go.
Who is number three?
Kara Walker. So for this week, I decided to do all artists. I did the two things that I love the most which is STEM and art, which somehow typically seems to always be put against each other but you have people like me who love them both.
(37:37):
So next week will be STEM, this week is all art, but my next artist which you, she is a modern artist or modern day artist or other contemporary artists.
So you may have seen her stuff floating around, but her name is Kara Walker. Kara Walker is a contemporary artist best known for her provocative works that explore things of race, gender and power, particularly through the lens of American history and the legacy of slavery.
(38:04):
Born in 1969 in Stockton, California, Walker's artistic journey was shaped by her experiences, living in a racially charged South and her academic background in art.
She employs a distinctive style using paper silhouettes to create compelling and often disturbing scenes of violence, sexuality, and racial conflict. These stark black and white images critique the racist depictions of African Americans in historical narratives while also highlighting the exploitation and suffering caused by systemic racism work.
(38:38):
Walker's most notable work, and one of these I need y'all to really look up because it is probably the most incredible thing I've seen in a very long time.
But Walker's most notable works include GONE, a historical romance of a civil war, as it occurred between the dusky thighs of one young nigger in her heart, and then this next one, the monumental installation, a subtly, subtly, sublet girl, English.
(39:13):
I really can't talk. S-U-B-T-L-E-T-Y. You know what I'm trying to say. Anyways, this is a sugar coated sphinx that reflected the brutal history of sugar trade and its ties to slavery.
Her work is recognized for challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable historical truths, sparking conversations about the portrayal of African American experiences and their implications in contemporary society. Her art has made a lasting impact on both the art world and societal dialogues around race.
(39:44):
That's it in the background y'all. That is crazy. That is, and like this picture doesn't even do it justice. I saw a photo of somebody like standing beside it and I was like, how long did this take her to make? That's crazy.
This is beautiful. It really is. It really is.
(40:08):
Alright, so this next one is Mr. Otis Boykin.
So here's a little bit more.
Otis was born August 19, 1920 in Dallas, Texas. His father, Walter B. Boykin, was a carpenter who later became a preacher and his mother was a maid who tragically passed away from heart failure when Otis was just a year old.
(40:33):
This is actually important because it's a loss that influenced his achievements later.
So he attended Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas and he graduated valedictorian in 1938.
He then attended Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, on the scholarship and worked as a laboratory assistant in an aerospace laboratory.
(40:56):
So he was super successful academically, but he had to leave due to financial constraints, of course.
But throughout his career, he worked for various companies and eventually opened his own consulting and research company with offices in the US, Paris, and France.
So he was a very prolific inventor and engineer whose work significantly advanced the field of electronics.
(41:22):
And here are some of his notable accomplishments. His first patent, granted in 1959, was a wire precision resistor invention allowed manufacturers to designate the resistance value of an individual piece of wire and electronic equipment accurately.
Then he later developed a more advanced and cost effective version of this precision resistor that could withstand high temperatures, high pressure, and rapid acceleration.
(41:51):
This resistor was used in various applications, including radios, televisions, computers, and guided missiles.
So he also helped with the pacemaker control unit.
And one of his resistors was used as a control unit for the first successful implantable pacemaker.
And of course, we all have older people so we know what those do.
(42:16):
But his inventions, particularly his work on resistors and the pacemaker, paved the way for numerous advancements in electronics and medical devices today.
So his work on the pacemaker influenced the development of more advanced and reliable pacemakers, as well as other implantable medical devices like defibrillators and neurostimulators.
(42:37):
Some improvements in resistor technology have been foundational for the development of modern consumer electronics, including our smartphones, computers, and TVs.
The precision and reliability of his resistors have enabled more efficient and compact electronic devices all over the world.
(42:58):
So I thought that was super interesting because I also had no idea that everything that we use on the day-to-day basis was partially made available by a black man.
Love it.
That's a major contribution because bitch, smartphones, our phones, our TVs, our computers, the defibrillators, the pacemaker, that's crazy.
(43:25):
Otis, you are the first Otis that we did indeed come to see.
We did come to see you, Otis.
Thank you.
We appreciate it.
That's amazing.
Yes, that's a lot.
That is a lot.
And look at him there.
Also, he's an older gentleman so this was like the only good picture of him I could find.
(43:47):
And then I saw someone do a drawing.
Is that too.
Look at that big old Negro nose.
I love a big Negro nose.
Judge me.
Awesome.
So my last one for this week is another artist.
And first of all, I love her name.
It is Augusta Savage because I'm a savage.
(44:10):
I'm sorry.
But Augusta Savage was born in 1892.
So literally just a few years.
What is that?
A little bit less than 30 years from slavery, which is crazy.
And she sadly passed away in 1962.
But she lived a pretty full life.
(44:31):
That's 70 years.
But Augusta Savage was a prominent African-American sculptor, educator, and advocate for racial equality in the arts during the Harlem Renaissance.
Born in Green Cove Springs, Florida, she displayed a talent for sculpting early in life, crafting figures from clay, despite her father's religious objections.
After moving to New York City, she studied at Cooper Union, where her skill earned her recognition and support.
(44:57):
Her works include a bust of influential figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frederick Douglass, as well as a game and a sculpture that brought her significant acclaim and led to a scholarship to study in Europe, which is amazing, especially at that time.
One of her most famous works, The Heart, which she created in 1939, was created for the New York World's Fair, inspired by the song, Lift Every Voice and Sing.
(45:28):
It symbolized African-American rituals, I'm sorry, spirituals, and cultural pride, but was unfortunately destroyed after the fair because white people.
Beyond her sculptures, Savage played a part in a vital role in fostering Black arts and artists.
She founded the Savage Studio of Arts and Crafts and served as the first director of the Harlem Community Art Center, where she mentored notable artists like Jacob Lawrence and Norman Lewis.
(45:57):
Despite financial struggles and a career curtailed by unfortunately racism, systemic barriers, Savage's legacy endures as a pioneer of African-American art and tireless advocacy for inclusion in the arts.
This is beautiful. And she, so look at her in her element with this sculpture.
(46:21):
The one sculpture that they're talking about, The Heart, is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
From an artist standpoint, I just, the things we have created and done.
No.
What is it called?
The Heart.
(46:43):
H-A-R-P?
Oh, shit.
And that shows how much I know. I didn't even know Lift Every Voice and Sing had been around that long.
(47:08):
I didn't either.
There we go.
That is, that is so, I don't have words for it. That is so amazing.
(47:30):
One person, one person can make that big of a difference or make that big of an impact. That's crazy.
Alright, this one.
Again, another super old, can't really, couldn't find another picture of this person at all.
(47:52):
But this is Mr. Thomas L. Jennings.
So, he again was an inventor, tradesman, entrepreneur, and abolitionist.
Born in 1791 in New York City, he became the first African American to hold a patent at all.
He was granted the patent in 1821 and his innovation method of, innovation, innovative method of dry cleaning,
(48:18):
known as dry scoring, dry scoring was an early method of dry cleaning. He developed this process to remove dirt and grease from clothes without, of course, using water,
which helped maintain the fabric's original shape and appearance.
He was a tailor by trade and opened one of the largest clothing stores in New York City.
His invention of the dry scoring process came from his customers' complaints about stains on their clothes.
(48:44):
He experimented with different chemicals to protect the fabric while removing the stains.
Beyond his contributions to dry cleaning, he was deeply involved in abolitionist movement.
He used the money he earned from his invention to support abolitionist causes and free his family from slavery.
He also served as the assistant secretary for the first annual convention of the people of color in Philadelphia in 1831.
(49:14):
Unfortunately, the exact details of his dry scoring method were lost in a fire in 1863 that destroyed many early patents, which we can all imagine what happened with that.
However, it is widely recognized as a precursor to modern day dry cleaning techniques, which use liquid solvents instead of water to clean clothes.
(49:38):
I've never thought of dry cleaning as anything that we had anything to do with.
You got everything to do with everything.
With everything. So I just want to bring this up. So DEI means diversity, equity, and inclusion.
(50:01):
If you are in a business structure with no diversity, no type of inclusiveness, you see how great these people are and their inventions and how much they helped the world and made an impact on the world.
If they're not included, if there's no diversity, then what happens? This stuff stagnates and progress is a lot slower. That's what DEI is. That's what it's for.
(50:26):
It's for innovation, diversity, inclusion, brings things together faster. We all have different ideas. We all have different experiences.
This is how we make the world and companies, environments. This is how we make all this a better place. But without that, things just kind of wither up and die.
(50:51):
But that's all I wanted to say about that whole thing.
They become stagnant. I mean, you hit it on the head perfectly. We all have different ideas. We have different backgrounds.
We have different lived experiences. Like at the end of the day, if you're just in this funnel of going in circles and it's the same thing, like we were talking about some months ago, we were talking about social media and the algorithm and how that works and all that stuff.
(51:21):
It's like you just get fed the same thing over and over again. And it's like the same thing kind of works in that aspect because it's like you're just seeing, you know, it's the same thing over. There's no room for growth.
There's no room for growth because there's no there's there's no want for change. So but that's what I said. Don't tell them nothing friend. They you will most certainly see the impact that African Americans have the moment we the moment black people come together and say we're done.
(51:50):
That's when shit is going to change. The problem is we haven't done that in a very long time. And even when we do do that, we're fighting or there's this difference or that difference. And we need to get beyond that.
Any song white people have actually really come for us is when we band together because they understand the strength that comes with that. You look at Black Wall Street, the Tulsa, Oklahoma burning.
(52:14):
You look at the Black Panthers. Any song we've ever come together and said, OK, well, we're going to do this our way. Then it's an issue. The thing that people often forget about supremacy is supremacy isn't just about.
How do I want to work this? It's not just about, you know, the the hatred side of it. There's also an element of control. So it's like, not only am I going to tell you, you know, what you can eat, I'm going to tell you when you can eat it.
(52:45):
And as long as there's always that control element to it, that's the real issue. So anyways, I digress because I say what I say for the for the question of the week to shit don't happen when we come by.
I am so do what you will with that information.
Love that. Love all of it.
(53:08):
All right. On a lighter note.
Let's have some fun, y'all.
Let's have some fun.
You want to go first.

Eric, why do work.
Yep.
I couldn't say singer I can say Neil so I can say turbine or window seat.
(56:25):
I was like, okay, damn.
All the all the clues.
Okay.
So I got a question for you.
I've heard this question, I wouldn't have known the answer.
Okay, put your head down.
Don't be cheating.
Okay.
So everybody can see it.
(56:46):
Okay.
I can look in house party.
What did party goers break employees mom's house.
Was it her dishes.
Her toilet.
Her TV or her table.
I think it was a toilet.
It was definitely the toilet.
That's what I'm talking about.
(57:07):
Friends.
Now,
Listen, I can't, I can't remember that shit.
I was trying to think when I read the question.
I'm gonna go watch that one.
Get done here.
I need to watch that.
I watched Matilda last night.
Yes, miss Trunchbull, sir.
(57:32):
All right.
Let's see what this one is.
Oh,
Okay.
All right.
Look, look the other way.
All right, y'all.
So here's the word.
Um, this is going to be a tough one.

Okay. So this one again is one.
(58:58):
I definitely didn't know.
Again, I don't have hair like that.
Okay.
Put your head down.
Okay.
So this is, all right.
Camera focus.
There we go.
All right.
So the question is,
According to mama.

(01:00:06):
The question is, if if if you can't use their cone, bitch, I
have heard of this before. So they say this. They used to say
this to black men who dated white women. If you can't if
they can't use your cone, don't bring them home. Oh my god. That
unlock a whole different black memory. I'm dead as fuck. Okay.
(01:00:31):
Wow. Oh, some real black people created that. All right, let me
show you.
Because I ain't never heard that shit before. So
this is something that people watched in the 90s. Okay. I'm
(01:00:57):
trying to use Martin. He's his best one to let the be a
morning.
Okay, wait, wait, wait. It's something that people watched
in the 90s. In the 90s. You're on the right thing.
So it's one of them sitcoms. Come on. Okay. So it's not
Martin. In living single. In living color. It's just, it's a
(01:01:26):
sitcom like Martin in the 90s. Teenagers, teenagers, teenagers,
teenagers, family matters, Butler, Butler, teenagers,
Butler.
(01:01:46):
Friend I lost Philadelphia.
In West Philadelphia born and raised on the plane. Okay.
What's the right answer?
Come to mind. You still like that answer. Oh, Fresh Prince.
Oh, yeah. Why did that not come to mind? That didn't come to
(01:02:09):
mind at all. Damn. That is slightly tragic. Yeah. Wow.
Okay. So okay. It's a sad day. All right, Fred. So the question
(01:02:33):
is, remember I said I don't think I would have noticed
because I just knew the chorus of the song. In the song, I get
around by Tupac. What did shock G put on the panties? A.
(01:02:55):
Cotton B. Silk, C. Satin, or D. Polyester? C. Satin.
Your face!
Okay, in the song I Get Around by Tupac, what did Shock G put on the panties?
(01:03:16):
A. Cotton
B. Silk
C. Satin or D. Polyester
C. Satin
C. Satin. Wow!
Okay, you better get around. I get around.
You better get around. All right. Let me go ahead now. I'm gonna pull out my other deck
(01:03:37):
Okay, which is the the I think I showed y'all this but again the lyrically
Correct 90s R&B edition. This the one I'm scared of
Alright y'all so friend we gonna go ahead and do the music one. Here's the first music one
Lauren Hill said it's been three years since you've been looking for
(01:04:01):
Who? A. your man
B. your friend
C. your cat
D. yourself
Damn I'm finna fail
See you've been looking for you the one you let hit it and never called you again
(01:04:22):
Your man
It's your friend
That's fair. That's right. I was closest
It's been three weeks and you've been looking for your friend the one you let hit it and never called you again
But when he told you he was I would notice I mean obvious for those of you who know before K. Lonnie had her tattoo
Lauren there she go

Oh, yeah, you turn around
According to mama. What does it mean if a bird poops on you?
A. someone has died
B. someone is pregnant
C. you'll have good luck
Or D. you'll have bad breath

We was under that tree at lunch and the bird shit it all down the side of my face
Oh no, bitch
Yes, all down the side of my face
And that was at the time where them motherfuckers like to lock the door so you couldn't walk in
(01:06:11):
the building like in the building
I know
You have to run around with shit running down your face. Yep
They did they did that
Johnny
(01:06:32):
The reason that that's also so funny to me and Jason is a terrible reason because we was laughing at Johnny Cash because he looked dead
Um, listen, this is not even it we crack up so hard because he was in one of my favorite songs is a remix from another song
But he was like
He's like baby Johnny is gone
(01:06:55):
All right, your cousin told me to say that to you actually that that yeah
I was like, okay, I'm gonna go
Your cousin told me to say that to you actually that that yeah
I was supposed to say it at a more serious time
Because that's the first thing I immediately go to is the fact we laugh for a solid 30 minutes about this man looking dead
(01:07:19):
and then he
Uh
That's exactly how we did it
Oh, my god, why you trying to call me gone? He been going johnny been going 30 minutes. Oh shit
(01:08:00):
If you get this one wrong i'm gonna slap the shit out of you
There is no need to get this one wrong
You might as let me do you know what today is?

It's definitely come to find out. I saw a video the other day as a dude was like how come black people always say sitting up?
I look at her sitting up there looking stupid
(01:14:09):
She just sat up there made that nasty ass potato salad
You sitting up there looking dumb

It was this older black man, you know old black people don't give a fuck what come out of their mouth anyways
But he was like i'm so tired of people saying stupid shit
(01:14:32):
It was what he said he was like he was talking to somebody it's a famous black comedian
He was saying he was talking to i think sign field or something
He was like yeah, we're gonna build a house from the ground up
He was like well you damn sure ain't building it from the middle. I don't know
That is
Absolutely something an old black person who just fed up with everything would say it is actually true never thought about that at all
(01:14:58):
What's like he was like why people say she dead and gone?
Well, if she did how she did in here?
Look away friend. Oh, okay. All right, y'all. Here's the word

To know to be able to let people know how much jesus loves him
And this is why people don't go to church no more now. This is exactly why people is like, you know what?

It was like what did tevin campbell want to do?
Now bitch, that's not even hard. I chose

Wait, wait, wait, wait, it's in my mind
It's in my mind. It just the song just ain't popping up

So the the real question is though
(01:20:00):
When it comes to the meeting in silk's bedroom

Bedroom bedroom bedroom

for watching.
Hello everybody, my name is Atticus and my name is Hope and you are now watching The White Refrigerator. Welcome back y'all.
(00:06):
The White Refrigerator
(00:26):
Hello everybody, welcome back where we're keeping you fresh in the world of myths and helping us feel better together.
Because lord knows we need it. It's been a week ain't it? We ain't gonna talk about it but it's been a week.
But how's everybody feeling? Hope, how's your week been?
So this week has been okay. It's been the worst, it hadn't been the best. I'm just kinda like making it through.
(00:55):
I did see something that tickled me the other day and they were talking about all this foolishness that Orange Peel has been doing.
And somebody was talking about he was deporting Native Americans. And I was like where?
Where you gonna send them to?
(01:19):
They were here first. Yeah go around the corner. I was gonna send you around the corner.
So I don't know that it pissed me off but it made me laugh at the same time.
Because I'm like this is a different level of delusion because these people have been here for a couple of hundred years.
500 at best. These people have been here for thousands of years.
(01:41):
So I don't know why that had tickled me. But other than that work is work, home is home.
Have your good days, your bad days. It's just like okay. Just make it through. Make it through. Do what you can, what you got.
I will say this to the point that you made earlier when you know you said something.
(02:01):
I'm not even sure we were recording when you said it. But y'all listen.
I know there is a lot going on. There is a lot going on.
Especially for those of us who actually care and have real human people emotions and empathy.
And basic human understanding.
The goal is for you to feel defeated. The goal is for you to feel worn down, tired out.
(02:29):
Because at that point you just give up and you stop trying and you quit.
And that's when that defeat can actually set in and they can do whatever they want to do.
I say all that to say let, allow yourself to cry, allow yourself to breathe, allow yourself to hurt, to feel.
All those things. And then get back up and fight.
(02:51):
We're not going to hand this to them easily. But we can't do that.
So it's okay to feel any way that you feel. It's very valid.
Especially those of us who did try back in November to actually prevent this from happening.
But don't give in. You're overstimulated. You're overcome. It's a lot.
(03:19):
But do not give yourself the end of the road. We got to keep going.
So yeah, that's that on that.
So my favorite is TV. I've been doing the same thing I've been doing, which is watching Unrivaled.
That's fun. And then new music.
(03:43):
So my cousin Jason and I, who was on an episode last season, y'all know him as Smittyba.
He and I created a playlist of the type of, me and him have a very similar style of rap music that we like to listen to.
We created a playlist on Spotify. I'll ask him if he wants me to open it up so everybody can get into it.
(04:05):
I'm pretty sure you can anyways. But I've enjoyed it.
But I found a couple of new people through his list. I just took a moment to listen all the way through it.
Then I found some people on my own. So this is a guy named Chester Watson.
He has a song with another guy named Eloquent. I hope I'm saying that right.
But it's called Blimpses of God. And it's just I like rappers who say shit.
(04:33):
No disrespect to anybody who's doing anything else. I think all of it has a place.
I tell anybody Tupac and Uncle Luke was out at the same time and we were listening to them both.
So everything has its place. But yeah, I've enjoyed listening to that as of lately.
Just kind of deepening my head and in my feelings. But yeah, TV is really nothing new.
(04:57):
And for music, that's it. So that's my week. How was your week, man, Fran?
My week has been pretty good. Fairly middling, as they say. It sounds kind of a lot like yours.
Not a whole lot going on. When I actually did, there was a thing that happened that weird.
I don't know if I haven't told you about it yet, but I'll definitely tell you about it because it was stupid.
(05:25):
Like funny, stupid or stupid? Like, oh, that's stupid.
Kind of both. Like it's funny and it's like, are we really talking about like this?
Like, I'm really like wasting my time with this. But OK, whatever.
So yeah, one of those things. But other than that, I've had a it's been a pretty good week.
(05:53):
TV has been uneventful. I honestly hadn't been watching a lot of TV.
I've just kind of been like playing my game, watching random stuff on YouTube.
And if you all are just like curious and into a bunch of random shit, there is a channel on YouTube called Animalogic.
And they just discuss a lot of different like random animals. And I watched like this damn hour long series about cats,
(06:18):
like not domestic cats, but wild cats. And they're so interesting and so diverse and all over the place.
But anywho, don't judge me. When it comes to music, this one ain't new to Hope, but she ain't super new to me.
She's really new to me. Sasha Keeble. I ran across, I was letting Spotify do its thing again and it started playing Sasha Keeble.
(06:48):
So at first it played a song with Black and then it played a song called Why?
And that was the one that caught my ear. And I was like, who the fuck is this person singing?
And I sent it to Hope and she was like, oh, you don't remember? And she sent me the song she sent me last year.
I was like, shit, I do remember this. I do remember her. But I just, the only thing I knew from her was that song.
(07:13):
And I didn't honestly remember it was her. I just remember Dustin Conrad.
But after hearing that song, I then went and listened to her whole discography with like a brand new infatuation with this person.
Her music is awesome. That is Sasha Keeble. Other than that, what else has happened?
(07:35):
Shit. It's been a good week though. Just been getting up. Oh, let me tell you this.
I had a TikTok relapse. So you can't download TikTok no more, but you can still actively see it in browsers.
So there was a brief TikTok relapse because I'm a crackhead. But I will say this.
(08:03):
Getting back on TikTok wasn't quite as fun because the piece of shit is doing what it's doing what it's doing.
So of course, that's like what is cycling through TikTok right now. So I'm like, you know what?
Better off without it. I'll just find something else to do instead of sitting here.
(08:24):
Yeah. So, friend, I'll admit I also had a relapse too.
And I got on and same thing because you can't download it, but they made it to where you can like scroll through when you log in.
But it's like super limited in the things that you can and can't do. But it's just like, what is this?
(08:45):
I don't my algorithm algorithm in no more. So everything I see got that that things face somewhere around it or that's the subject.
So I was like, tell me, go, let me go find something else to do. So I could be doing something productive.
(09:06):
I also cut my facial hair. This is going to sound real crazy. The actual reason I cut my facial hair.
What so I could see my chin.
I thought you were going to say they can eat, but.
(09:28):
Now, whoever needed to cut their facial hair for that, I was just.
Need a little bit more motivation. And what's more motivation than walking around like old dude from me and black.
(09:51):
So I can see it now.
Water sugar water sugar sugar water.
(10:12):
A classic. I was like, maybe this will motivate me to do more. Oh, bitch, try to cook today. Not tried. I did.
So I had got me some cube steak like from it was like butcher cube steak. Have you ever had meat from like a butcher like a local butcher?
Yes, sir. I'm not a fan. This is the second time I've been tried this shit. Really?
(10:36):
The shit tastes too fresh and I don't appreciate that taste at all. Like it tastes like they just cut the damn cow.
And even when you cook it, I don't even know how to describe it. First, it has this really.
The smell is bloody as fuck. Like that's the only thing I can describe the smell is even after you season it down and you cook it, you're like, OK, this smells good.
(10:59):
And you bite it and it has that same well, rawness to the taste.
And I was just like, I think I just want to be a vegan again. I can never go vegan vegetarian.
That's how it made me feel. But vegan, I like cheese too much and I like honey.
(11:20):
You can't have either as a vegan. So that's that's true. I do also like ice cream.
So maybe a vegetarian, but that shit literally just made me not want to eat another animal.
I forget. But yeah, that was that's it for this for this week.
Mad about it. But that was it. You don't want to imagine eating a damn zebra.
(11:43):
You was the one talking about that zebra.
The zebra, that zebra look good. Don't lie. That zebra looked how that bear paw look.
Exactly. That bear paw look like pig feet.
(12:06):
It was like so gelatinous. I was going to say when it jiggled, I was like, oh, no, girl.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yes. Weird shit. Because, you know, I've been on child.
I've been on our Instagram page like it's my private page just scrolling and rolling.
You've been liking shit for you. I have.
(12:33):
But I came across a post from a chick from New Orleans.
And she sell candy pick lips.
Wait.
(12:57):
I didn't even know that was a part that we ate.
We're free. We're free. We don't have to. First of all, you know what?
I'm not going to say anything to people who eat what you want, right? Eat what you want.
But what you know, a friend, I try it if they if they eat it down there, anything from New Orleans, I'm going to try it because they be cooking some good.
(13:22):
They be cooking good food. Now, listen, they can cook down. I would never take them.
Never take that from them. They can put me on the stuff now, but I'm not eating.
Listen, I am kind of getting to a place where I'm tired of pork and beef in general.
Like, give me chicken and fish.
I don't know. I love a good turkey.
(13:46):
Turkey occasionally like a turkey. I get tired of turkey. Chicken. I'll never get tired of chicken.
But like a lot of this other I'd be like, you got no new meat out. You got pterodactyl or something. Ain't no new. Ain't no new animals.
Well, they try to feed a zebra, you ain't want it.
(14:08):
Friend, friend, if somebody had not told you that was zebra, what would you have thought it was?
First of all, not telling me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, the violence that would have ensued.
Wait, if nobody told me immediately turned into a Caucasian man on January the 6th with a Make America Great hat.
(14:35):
Zebra.
Make the zebra safe again.
No way.
Wait, if nobody told you, what would you have thought it was?
It didn't look like steak, though.
Not to me it didn't. It looked slightly different. I don't know how to.
It didn't look like a roast to me.
(14:56):
It's something about it. I feel like I would have been like, what cut of meat is this?
Like something in my brain would have been like, what part of the cow is this?
And then they would say some bullshit. It's the left tentacle. See, you were supposed to say tentacle, bitch.
Yeah, nothing.
(15:17):
Nothing but violence at that point, because what do you mean?
We're going to go somewhere one day and I'm going to tell them to lie to you on purpose.
Don't do that.
About a fucking chimpanzee toe or something.
Friend.
(15:38):
As an American, specifically an African American, it is in my nature to tear shit up.
Okay.
Violence is just tip of my tongue.
You know we can't do that in other countries.
That's true. We ain't going to jail nowhere. I don't want to go to jail here.
(15:59):
We better not go to jail nowhere outside.
But ain't scared of America. What is that? It's moose knuckle.
Well, depending on the moose.
I mean, what if it is a moose knuckle?
(16:21):
I. Oh God, friend, you have to edit that out.
Oh, no, stay.
Yes, I'm a moose knuckle.
(16:47):
Do you know they have something called a testicle festival and like one of them.
Northern Midwest regional states up yonder. They got a festival.
I said, bitch, and it was it was like all kind of different flavor bull balls.
It was like these are fried. These have been broiled with garlic.
(17:13):
The way people play too much. I don't. And it's not even that I'm a picky eater.
I don't think I'm a picky eater. I mean, I'm a fat ass. Of course, I'm not a picky eater.
Girl, you can be fat and also be a picky eater. Some people are fat and only eat the same thing.
But I like them people. I'm not picking on them.
I'm not because I am literally like a person and a half from being right there with the 600 pound lives.
(17:41):
OK, I'm right there. I mean, I'm not I just I got a whole nother me to get there.
But to put it in perspective, they do crazy shit like they would be like,
I only eat chicken nuggets dipped in ice cream and I eat it three times a day in the morning,
(18:07):
three times a day at night. Ma'am, you just said six times in a day. No, because there's lunch.
Like I watch one of them and like he was like that, like he ate the same thing every day.
And it was like crazy shit. Y'all look this up. I know it's on YouTube, but he ate like for graphics.
(18:31):
He would eat ice cream, which is bananas to me. I could my stomach.
Would sound I can't even it would sound like the beginning of who is that like the Fox production?
That would be the sound of my butthole would be making like he ate like six ice cream sandwiches or six nutty buddy,
(18:57):
but something like that in the morning, he would have a whole extra large piece and 20 wings and a whole two liter for lunch.
And I can't even remember what because I literally couldn't get past that. It was making me sick on the stomach watching him eat.
So, yeah, I guess so. But anyways, I say all that to say, damn, I'm rambling. I ain't trying to do that.
I say all that to say I I'm not a picky eater, but I I don't like experiment with my food.
(19:24):
Don't because we as Americans don't went too far. Some of this shit we talked about this on a couple of other episodes.
We're cracking jokes, but we have went too far. Fried Snickers and steak, bitch.
Listen, I am not above trying some new shit. I'll try. I'll try this stuff one time.
(19:49):
It does get a one time. If I don't like it, then I don't like it. But I will try most of everything.
I'm not trying to bear claw, though. That shit look fucking it got to look appetizing.
You got to at least look like it's trying because God damn. Well, I'll tell you what.
I don't know. I'll try some monkey paw lips as soon as you try some coochie.
(20:12):
Dare we go? I might I might fuck around and try some coochie and I don't want to hear no excuses.
I don't want to hear no excuses. First of all.
I don't want to hear no excuses. Sir, I'm going to show up to you.
I'm going to show up to your door with a with a tupperware.
(20:35):
A fucking bear claw in it. And I want you to take a bite.
You don't have to show me video evidence because I first of all.
Why is that making you can't be that gay that the thought of me seeing you eat some coochie makes me sick on the stomach.
Like the thought of that makes me want to. Oh, my God.
(21:00):
I turn into a homophobe. I turn into a straight up phobic. Is that a thing?
Oh, I'm a pussy. I turn phobic. I turn straight up phobic.
I turned I turned against the default. I'm going to show you.
I'm going to show you the video. I'm just going to.
(21:28):
I would probably actually go ahead and do my contingency plan because the moment that happens, I don't really need to be here no more.
Bear with the bear.
At that point, Tom, I don't think either one of us need to be here anymore.
(21:49):
Yeah, I'm addressing that. No, no.
Who I've been to the conversion camp and delivered.
No, I like coochie now. I don't like boys no more.
I'm not going to even bring that man's name up because he he like to fight with people.
(22:13):
What's the name Andrew Caldwell? He like to fight with people. I'm right about a lot of stuff though, because he'd be he'd be right about a lot of like like stuff you wouldn't think like he'd be don't be with that racist shit.
He don't be with that culinary shit. But that even brainwashed by that other stuff.
So he is like, I don't like me and no more.
(22:39):
You just took a day 15 minutes ago. Get the fuck out of my face.
That's like Jackie Perry Hill.
For her to be she's converted stud.
And she still look like me, bitch. First of all,
please. She got the most to say about like Kay Lani and like other people like they're just out here putting themselves out there.
(23:07):
No, baby. You have a shrine in your closet.
Get there. They're just living authentically. It's okay.
Tragic. You can do it, too.
And like the came up a little bit.
I got sick and I went I was like, I don't even know. I probably would cut you the fuck out. Like, what the fuck?
(23:29):
You do some stupid shit like that. Were you in danger?
What's going on?
We'll do that straight shit around here.
The Wired refrigerator.
(23:50):
All right. Let's get into the question of the week. And actually, this will be the last question until after Black History Month because it's enough going on.
Just make it through your day.
You can reflect on the past questions.
Shout out to Black History Month. When y'all hear this, this is it'll be Black History Month. So happy Black History Month, everybody.
(24:16):
Yes, especially to us.
Just make it through your day. Like Hope was saying, try not to be overwhelmed by everything that's going on. Shut it off.
Get you a reliable source that you depend on for news and go through it maybe maybe once a week, every couple of days or so.
So you can get the highlights, but don't let that breaking new shit every day.
(24:41):
Be a part of your every day.
It's not worth it.
Yes.
Okay. So the question of the week was, what is the greatest truth I know, but rarely speak aloud? And what holds me back from expressing it fully?
(25:02):
This is not even as deep as you see.
My thinking might be. The greatest one for me is literally, bitch, ain't nobody coming to save you.
You got to be the change you want to see. The time ain't never going to be right. You just got to start now.
And the only thing I feel like that keeps me from expressing that fully is it takes away the fact that I make excuses.
(25:29):
And sometimes I like to make excuses.
Yeah.
So excuse would leave me in the bed another hour scrolling tick tock.
Excuse would tell me I don't feel like going to the gym because I don't feel like going to the gym.
But when are you ever really going to feel like going to the gym?
(25:50):
It's true.
If you be stuck in tick tock, I don't want to get off tick tock right now. I don't want to do whatever else it isn't supposed to be doing.
I just want to do what I want to do. And what I want to do is not going to get me any further. So there's that.
That's my that's my truth.
So at the current moment, my answer to that is that the greatest truth that I know is that peace is only effective if it's internal protest and violence is necessary for external production.
(26:23):
I'm sorry. And the only thing that keeps me from saying that out loud is jail.
I'm going to jail a couple of times and I don't want to go back.
So, yeah, I don't think anything that matters happens peacefully.
I think there has to be some sort of protest, some sort of assertment.
(26:46):
Some there you have to be some sort of brash or bold in order to get shit done. And for the longest time, we've been taught to turn the other cheek and that, you know, to maintain peace.
And I think peace is an internal thing. Peace is something that you have to focus on internally so you can be your most productive self externally.
But when it comes to external forces, I eat things that are not yourself.
(27:08):
Now that that requires a different method of action. So I think that's something that I have learned as of recently and is is continuing to learn.
The revolution will not be televised. And you have to you have to to to really buckle down and say, OK, this is what it is.
(27:30):
And I have to do what it is to get to where I need to be.
Oh, that's so true. Sometimes you got to whoop a bully ass to get him to leave you alone.
Listen, some sometimes I think sometimes that point just is unfortunately, you know, maybe there are scenarios where you talk it out, work it out.
(27:52):
But in most cases, you I mean, look at all the things that people have gained from not being peaceful.
Rather taken. So you want it, then you take it back.
It's true. That was a good one. That was great. Right.
Tried to tell you, we back then.
(28:16):
There's no no, Mr. President, he would he would be up there right now in that wheelchair.
Yeah. Talking about no, Mr. President, let me and my ex man fix it.
You and your ex man, you and your ex man can go back to get no shot.
(28:39):
We're going to send you back on a plane. We're going to send you back on a plane.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
America, this is America.
My ding ding impression is terrible, but you get the point. No, that was great.
Yeah. Yeah. He would again.
It ain't even about Magneto's Paris is about perfect.
(29:02):
Sir, X's powers. There's no way I would have allowed you to control your mind.
You would have been signing all kind of executive orders.
Mutants are allowed in that and that and that.
And it's soon as somebody soon as there is a fucking dispute or a bit of discourse.
Oh, my ex man.
(29:26):
Kill him all.
Well, I'll tell you, it would be a wonderful place with all the executive orders you signed.
Maybe everybody would be happy to go to work.
Everybody would be a productive citizen.
I think that's why Magneto was so pissed off because he I know in his mind he was like, nigga, you you and Jean Gray together.
(29:50):
Y'all could have done all of this. We just shut all this shit.
Immediately. Everybody's in the kumbaya.
You know, but no, you want to go up there big.
All right, y'all. So for Black History Month, what we decided to do was we decided to give you guys something refreshing and exciting.
(30:16):
What we've decided to do is create a list, if you will.
And every week we're going to go through and give you new amazing black people and stories you have not heard of for Black History Month.
And so many times we get told the same people, honestly, over and over again for, you know, the great deeds that they've done.
(30:40):
But it's so much more. What a lot of us forget is black history is, first of all, black history is black American history.
Black people were important before we became captives.
We were important when we were captives. And we are still just as important now.
We had a moment in history where we were not great. So do not ever feel like you are not great.
(31:04):
You are amazing. And we continue to do amazing things. So let's continue to do these amazing things together.
So we want to teach you about people that you may not have heard about because history doesn't necessarily always allow it.
And then after that, we're going to play a fun game.
(31:25):
We love our card games on this show. If you're a regular listener, then you know this.
We haven't done it in a while, but we're bringing them back.
We got a new deck and this deck is going to be hella fun in celebration of Black History Month.
So, yes, for my people, let's get it. So I went with a lady by the name of Faith Ringo.
Faith is an influential African-American artist who is known for her narrative driven works that blend story.
(31:51):
I'm sorry, history, culture and personal experiences. She was originally born in Harlem in 1930.
It was deeply influenced by the Harlem Renaissance and her mother's expertise in fashion design.
She developed a distinctive style that spans across painting, sculpture, performance and quilting.
Ringo's art is notable for addressing themes of racism, sexism and African-American identity, often through her story quilts.
(32:18):
Paintings on fabric that combine imagery and text to tell stories.
One of her most famous works is Tar Beach, which she created in 1988.
It's a quilt that was later adapted into a children's book, marking the beginning of her successful literary career.
(32:39):
Ringo's impact extends beyond her art.
She's used her platform to advocate for racial and gender equality, both as an artist and educator.
Her work, such as the French collection, dwells into African-American history, exploring the intersection of race and art in a global context.
Through her work, Ringo has influenced countless artists, especially women of color, and her art continues to be celebrated in museums worldwide today.
(33:08):
That is beautiful. That is awesome. And I love how recent this is.
Like you actually, not only you get to see her work, but you actually get to see a great picture of her.
And for me, most importantly, and Atticus talked about this, Atticus and I, when it comes to specifically artists, we oftentimes hear like they're like the Billie Holiday stories or the Basquiat stories.
(33:35):
We hear about these immensely talented people who are just super trouble, and they died young or they died terribly.
The people that I decided to go with are people who lived a fairly full life.
There are some exceptions, but most of these people lived a full life, and they lived a happy life, and they contributed to African-American culture in amazing ways.
(33:59):
And I mean, I'm pretty sure they went through life, as we all do, but I wanted to show a celebration of people, Black people actually being successful and making it to the end.
Yep.
All right. So I'll go here.
And here I have, can we still see it? Let me see if I can actually make that bigger. Just a second, y'all.
(34:31):
Okay, this might look a little bit weird. I was trying to find an actual photo of the device that she created.
But this is Miss Bessie Blount Griffin, and she was a woman who made significant contributions as an inventor, physical therapist, and forensic scientist, and her personal life was as remarkable as her professional achievements.
(34:53):
She was born November 24, 1914, in Hickory, Virginia, and she grew up in a community that valued education and resilience, because of course, 1914 at that time, what Black community really didn't value education and resilience.
I feel like that was more so all they had.
So, she attended Diggs Chapel, a one room schoolhouse built by Black members of the local community to educate former slaves and their children. Blount faced challenges early on, including being reprimanded for writing with her left hand.
(35:28):
Something I can definitely understand.
But she took this as a challenge and taught herself to write with both hands, her feet, and even her teeth. The skill later helped her teach amputees to perform everyday tasks by using their teeth and feet.
As a physical therapist, she saw firsthand the challenges faced by amputees and those who had lost use of their hands and she wanted to help them regain a sense of independence and dignity by enabling them to feed themselves.
(35:58):
This concept has been expanded upon and refined over the years, leading to the development of more sophisticated and user friendly assistive technologies.
So she actually invented a device for people to use their teeth to be able to feed themselves.
Now, I was really really really looking for like an actual live picture model but this was so long ago that I guess that doesn't, that doesn't exist or translate.
(36:29):
But this was one of the first assistive technologies for people.
It is after World War II, especially those that had sacrificed so much for the country and couldn't take care of themselves afterwards. So she was a definitely an awesome person.
(36:50):
Another thing I've taken from this is, I mean, black people are awesome. I've always known we were awesome. I just didn't know how integral we were
to things, to everything that is America. Black history is American history.
(37:12):
Period.
But yes.
Alright, so let's go.
Who is number three?
Kara Walker. So for this week, I decided to do all artists. I did the two things that I love the most which is STEM and art, which somehow typically seems to always be put against each other but you have people like me who love them both.
(37:37):
So next week will be STEM, this week is all art, but my next artist which you, she is a modern artist or modern day artist or other contemporary artists.
So you may have seen her stuff floating around, but her name is Kara Walker. Kara Walker is a contemporary artist best known for her provocative works that explore things of race, gender and power, particularly through the lens of American history and the legacy of slavery.
(38:04):
Born in 1969 in Stockton, California, Walker's artistic journey was shaped by her experiences, living in a racially charged South and her academic background in art.
She employs a distinctive style using paper silhouettes to create compelling and often disturbing scenes of violence, sexuality, and racial conflict. These stark black and white images critique the racist depictions of African Americans in historical narratives while also highlighting the exploitation and suffering caused by systemic racism work.
(38:38):
Walker's most notable work, and one of these I need y'all to really look up because it is probably the most incredible thing I've seen in a very long time.
But Walker's most notable works include GONE, a historical romance of a civil war, as it occurred between the dusky thighs of one young nigger in her heart, and then this next one, the monumental installation, a subtly, subtly, sublet girl, English.
(39:13):
I really can't talk. S-U-B-T-L-E-T-Y. You know what I'm trying to say. Anyways, this is a sugar coated sphinx that reflected the brutal history of sugar trade and its ties to slavery.
Her work is recognized for challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable historical truths, sparking conversations about the portrayal of African American experiences and their implications in contemporary society. Her art has made a lasting impact on both the art world and societal dialogues around race.
(39:44):
That's it in the background y'all. That is crazy. That is, and like this picture doesn't even do it justice. I saw a photo of somebody like standing beside it and I was like, how long did this take her to make? That's crazy.
This is beautiful. It really is. It really is.
(40:08):
Alright, so this next one is Mr. Otis Boykin.
So here's a little bit more.
Otis was born August 19, 1920 in Dallas, Texas. His father, Walter B. Boykin, was a carpenter who later became a preacher and his mother was a maid who tragically passed away from heart failure when Otis was just a year old.
(40:33):
This is actually important because it's a loss that influenced his achievements later.
So he attended Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas and he graduated valedictorian in 1938.
He then attended Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, on the scholarship and worked as a laboratory assistant in an aerospace laboratory.
(40:56):
So he was super successful academically, but he had to leave due to financial constraints, of course.
But throughout his career, he worked for various companies and eventually opened his own consulting and research company with offices in the US, Paris, and France.
So he was a very prolific inventor and engineer whose work significantly advanced the field of electronics.
(41:22):
And here are some of his notable accomplishments. His first patent, granted in 1959, was a wire precision resistor invention allowed manufacturers to designate the resistance value of an individual piece of wire and electronic equipment accurately.
Then he later developed a more advanced and cost effective version of this precision resistor that could withstand high temperatures, high pressure, and rapid acceleration.
(41:51):
This resistor was used in various applications, including radios, televisions, computers, and guided missiles.
So he also helped with the pacemaker control unit.
And one of his resistors was used as a control unit for the first successful implantable pacemaker.
And of course, we all have older people so we know what those do.
(42:16):
But his inventions, particularly his work on resistors and the pacemaker, paved the way for numerous advancements in electronics and medical devices today.
So his work on the pacemaker influenced the development of more advanced and reliable pacemakers, as well as other implantable medical devices like defibrillators and neurostimulators.
(42:37):
Some improvements in resistor technology have been foundational for the development of modern consumer electronics, including our smartphones, computers, and TVs.
The precision and reliability of his resistors have enabled more efficient and compact electronic devices all over the world.
(42:58):
So I thought that was super interesting because I also had no idea that everything that we use on the day-to-day basis was partially made available by a black man.
Love it.
That's a major contribution because bitch, smartphones, our phones, our TVs, our computers, the defibrillators, the pacemaker, that's crazy.
(43:25):
Otis, you are the first Otis that we did indeed come to see.
We did come to see you, Otis.
Thank you.
We appreciate it.
That's amazing.
Yes, that's a lot.
That is a lot.
And look at him there.
Also, he's an older gentleman so this was like the only good picture of him I could find.
(43:47):
And then I saw someone do a drawing.
Is that too.
Look at that big old Negro nose.
I love a big Negro nose.
Judge me.
Awesome.
So my last one for this week is another artist.
And first of all, I love her name.
It is Augusta Savage because I'm a savage.
(44:10):
I'm sorry.
But Augusta Savage was born in 1892.
So literally just a few years.
What is that?
A little bit less than 30 years from slavery, which is crazy.
And she sadly passed away in 1962.
But she lived a pretty full life.
(44:31):
That's 70 years.
But Augusta Savage was a prominent African-American sculptor, educator, and advocate for racial equality in the arts during the Harlem Renaissance.
Born in Green Cove Springs, Florida, she displayed a talent for sculpting early in life, crafting figures from clay, despite her father's religious objections.
After moving to New York City, she studied at Cooper Union, where her skill earned her recognition and support.
(44:57):
Her works include a bust of influential figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frederick Douglass, as well as a game and a sculpture that brought her significant acclaim and led to a scholarship to study in Europe, which is amazing, especially at that time.
One of her most famous works, The Heart, which she created in 1939, was created for the New York World's Fair, inspired by the song, Lift Every Voice and Sing.
(45:28):
It symbolized African-American rituals, I'm sorry, spirituals, and cultural pride, but was unfortunately destroyed after the fair because white people.
Beyond her sculptures, Savage played a part in a vital role in fostering Black arts and artists.
She founded the Savage Studio of Arts and Crafts and served as the first director of the Harlem Community Art Center, where she mentored notable artists like Jacob Lawrence and Norman Lewis.
(45:57):
Despite financial struggles and a career curtailed by unfortunately racism, systemic barriers, Savage's legacy endures as a pioneer of African-American art and tireless advocacy for inclusion in the arts.
This is beautiful. And she, so look at her in her element with this sculpture.
(46:21):
The one sculpture that they're talking about, The Heart, is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
From an artist standpoint, I just, the things we have created and done.
No.
What is it called?
The Heart.
(46:43):
H-A-R-P?
Oh, shit.
And that shows how much I know. I didn't even know Lift Every Voice and Sing had been around that long.
(47:08):
I didn't either.
There we go.
That is, that is so, I don't have words for it. That is so amazing.
(47:30):
One person, one person can make that big of a difference or make that big of an impact. That's crazy.
Alright, this one.
Again, another super old, can't really, couldn't find another picture of this person at all.
(47:52):
But this is Mr. Thomas L. Jennings.
So, he again was an inventor, tradesman, entrepreneur, and abolitionist.
Born in 1791 in New York City, he became the first African American to hold a patent at all.
He was granted the patent in 1821 and his innovation method of, innovation, innovative method of dry cleaning,
(48:18):
known as dry scoring, dry scoring was an early method of dry cleaning. He developed this process to remove dirt and grease from clothes without, of course, using water,
which helped maintain the fabric's original shape and appearance.
He was a tailor by trade and opened one of the largest clothing stores in New York City.
His invention of the dry scoring process came from his customers' complaints about stains on their clothes.
(48:44):
He experimented with different chemicals to protect the fabric while removing the stains.
Beyond his contributions to dry cleaning, he was deeply involved in abolitionist movement.
He used the money he earned from his invention to support abolitionist causes and free his family from slavery.
He also served as the assistant secretary for the first annual convention of the people of color in Philadelphia in 1831.
(49:14):
Unfortunately, the exact details of his dry scoring method were lost in a fire in 1863 that destroyed many early patents, which we can all imagine what happened with that.
However, it is widely recognized as a precursor to modern day dry cleaning techniques, which use liquid solvents instead of water to clean clothes.
(49:38):
I've never thought of dry cleaning as anything that we had anything to do with.
You got everything to do with everything.
With everything. So I just want to bring this up. So DEI means diversity, equity, and inclusion.
(50:01):
If you are in a business structure with no diversity, no type of inclusiveness, you see how great these people are and their inventions and how much they helped the world and made an impact on the world.
If they're not included, if there's no diversity, then what happens? This stuff stagnates and progress is a lot slower. That's what DEI is. That's what it's for.
(50:26):
It's for innovation, diversity, inclusion, brings things together faster. We all have different ideas. We all have different experiences.
This is how we make the world and companies, environments. This is how we make all this a better place. But without that, things just kind of wither up and die.
(50:51):
But that's all I wanted to say about that whole thing.
They become stagnant. I mean, you hit it on the head perfectly. We all have different ideas. We have different backgrounds.
We have different lived experiences. Like at the end of the day, if you're just in this funnel of going in circles and it's the same thing, like we were talking about some months ago, we were talking about social media and the algorithm and how that works and all that stuff.
(51:21):
It's like you just get fed the same thing over and over again. And it's like the same thing kind of works in that aspect because it's like you're just seeing, you know, it's the same thing over. There's no room for growth.
There's no room for growth because there's no there's there's no want for change. So but that's what I said. Don't tell them nothing friend. They you will most certainly see the impact that African Americans have the moment we the moment black people come together and say we're done.
(51:50):
That's when shit is going to change. The problem is we haven't done that in a very long time. And even when we do do that, we're fighting or there's this difference or that difference. And we need to get beyond that.
Any song white people have actually really come for us is when we band together because they understand the strength that comes with that. You look at Black Wall Street, the Tulsa, Oklahoma burning.
(52:14):
You look at the Black Panthers. Any song we've ever come together and said, OK, well, we're going to do this our way. Then it's an issue. The thing that people often forget about supremacy is supremacy isn't just about.
How do I want to work this? It's not just about, you know, the the hatred side of it. There's also an element of control. So it's like, not only am I going to tell you, you know, what you can eat, I'm going to tell you when you can eat it.
(52:45):
And as long as there's always that control element to it, that's the real issue. So anyways, I digress because I say what I say for the for the question of the week to shit don't happen when we come by.
I am so do what you will with that information.
Love that. Love all of it.
(53:08):
All right. On a lighter note.
Let's have some fun, y'all.
Let's have some fun.
You want to go first.
I got to figure out.
(53:29):

Or we'll see.
(53:51):
They not you're not taking my black card Stevie.
She wasn't going back either.
Better, she ain't going back.
(54:14):
Or more think about that.
Anybody who watched this show Jocelyn actually didn't have to be the villain they made her the villain.
I see you in here with your main outfit like you always say.
That is diabolical.
(54:35):
You go come in somebody house and insult them boys. She has no foot.
Okay, so the way this game is played is.
I have to. So it's it's not quite trades.
There's words that I can't say.
(54:56):
But you have to guess who the person is or what the whatever the subject is in this case is a person.
Um, shit.
Okay, so the words that I can't say.
Close your eyes friend.
Look the other way.
All right, y'all. Here it is.

Y'all need to calm down.
Okay.
We're too desensitized.
I know you fucking like damn can you shoot them at another time, please.
Shit.
Um, okay.
(56:02):
Oh, I can't say that.
Woman.
Okay.
33,000.
Eric, why do work.
Yep.
I couldn't say singer I can say Neil so I can say turbine or window seat.
(56:25):
I was like, okay, damn.
All the all the clues.
Okay.
So I got a question for you.
I've heard this question, I wouldn't have known the answer.
Okay, put your head down.
Don't be cheating.
Okay.
So everybody can see it.
(56:46):
Okay.
I can look in house party.
What did party goers break employees mom's house.
Was it her dishes.
Her toilet.
Her TV or her table.
I think it was a toilet.
It was definitely the toilet.
That's what I'm talking about.
(57:07):
Friends.
Now,
Listen, I can't, I can't remember that shit.
I was trying to think when I read the question.
I'm gonna go watch that one.
Get done here.
I need to watch that.
I watched Matilda last night.
Yes, miss Trunchbull, sir.
(57:32):
All right.
Let's see what this one is.
Oh,
Okay.
All right.
Look, look the other way.
All right, y'all.
So here's the word.
Um, this is going to be a tough one.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna.
All right.
(57:53):
All right.
We all have to use our best friend to let the B bitch.
All right.
Come on.
Come on back.
Okay.
Um,
Do I know who this person is?
Or is it a person?
This is something that
(58:15):
People
Are nicknamed
Sometime in the hood.
Pookie bitch.
It was spooky bitch.
It was boogie.
Nice.
Okay.

Ray Ray Ray Ray.
Yeah.
There's there.
It's a, we, we know work.
Out of all of them, Pookie got to be the most popular.
Absolutely.
The most popular.
Okay. So this one again is one.
(58:58):
I definitely didn't know.
Again, I don't have hair like that.
Okay.
Put your head down.
Okay.
So this is, all right.
Camera focus.
There we go.
All right.
So the question is,
According to mama.
If you can't use the same comb.
Then a.
Don't use their pillow.
(59:20):
B.

(01:00:06):
The question is, if if if you can't use their cone, bitch, I
have heard of this before. So they say this. They used to say
this to black men who dated white women. If you can't if
they can't use your cone, don't bring them home. Oh my god. That
unlock a whole different black memory. I'm dead as fuck. Okay.
(01:00:31):
Wow. Oh, some real black people created that. All right, let me
show you.
Because I ain't never heard that shit before. So
this is something that people watched in the 90s. Okay. I'm
(01:00:57):
trying to use Martin. He's his best one to let the be a
morning.
Okay, wait, wait, wait. It's something that people watched
in the 90s. In the 90s. You're on the right thing.
So it's one of them sitcoms. Come on. Okay. So it's not
Martin. In living single. In living color. It's just, it's a
(01:01:26):
sitcom like Martin in the 90s. Teenagers, teenagers, teenagers,
teenagers, family matters, Butler, Butler, teenagers,
Butler.
(01:01:46):
Friend I lost Philadelphia.
In West Philadelphia born and raised on the plane. Okay.
What's the right answer?
Come to mind. You still like that answer. Oh, Fresh Prince.
Oh, yeah. Why did that not come to mind? That didn't come to
(01:02:09):
mind at all. Damn. That is slightly tragic. Yeah. Wow.
Okay. So okay. It's a sad day. All right, Fred. So the question
(01:02:33):
is, remember I said I don't think I would have noticed
because I just knew the chorus of the song. In the song, I get
around by Tupac. What did shock G put on the panties? A.
(01:02:55):
Cotton B. Silk, C. Satin, or D. Polyester? C. Satin.
Your face!
Okay, in the song I Get Around by Tupac, what did Shock G put on the panties?
(01:03:16):
A. Cotton
B. Silk
C. Satin or D. Polyester
C. Satin
C. Satin. Wow!
Okay, you better get around. I get around.
You better get around. All right. Let me go ahead now. I'm gonna pull out my other deck
(01:03:37):
Okay, which is the the I think I showed y'all this but again the lyrically
Correct 90s R&B edition. This the one I'm scared of
Alright y'all so friend we gonna go ahead and do the music one. Here's the first music one
Lauren Hill said it's been three years since you've been looking for
(01:04:01):
Who? A. your man
B. your friend
C. your cat
D. yourself
Damn I'm finna fail
See you've been looking for you the one you let hit it and never called you again
(01:04:22):
Your man
It's your friend
That's fair. That's right. I was closest
It's been three weeks and you've been looking for your friend the one you let hit it and never called you again
But when he told you he was I would notice I mean obvious for those of you who know before K. Lonnie had her tattoo
Lauren there she go
(01:04:44):
All right, I know all of her popular songs like damn bitch. I know her discography. Yeah
It ain't but a smidgen bit of it. Yes
But I know it
All right, we're gonna look the other way
Okay
So they know I ain't cheating
Okay
(01:05:05):
All right, so it's another question I can turn around
Oh, yeah, you turn around
According to mama. What does it mean if a bird poops on you?
A. someone has died
B. someone is pregnant
C. you'll have good luck
Or D. you'll have bad breath
(01:05:26):
I'm gonna say a because that's the only thing that makes sense
It's actually C. You'll have good luck
I ain't never heard of no shit like that in my life. You've never heard that one. I've heard that multiple times
I've also been shitted on by a bird multiple times. I ain't I
Yeah, I would what yes
I don't know if you have to ask your cousin
(01:05:48):
Ask ask Smitty
We was at lunch one day at Dover High
Under that tree. Do you remember that tree by the lunch room? Yep
We was under that tree at lunch and the bird shit it all down the side of my face
Oh no, bitch
Yes, all down the side of my face
And that was at the time where them motherfuckers like to lock the door so you couldn't walk in
(01:06:11):
the building like in the building
I know
You have to run around with shit running down your face. Yep
They did they did that
Johnny
(01:06:32):
The reason that that's also so funny to me and Jason is a terrible reason because we was laughing at Johnny Cash because he looked dead
Um, listen, this is not even it we crack up so hard because he was in one of my favorite songs is a remix from another song
But he was like
He's like baby Johnny is gone
(01:06:55):
All right, your cousin told me to say that to you actually that that yeah
