(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.
(00:07):
The white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator.
Thank you guys so much for coming back where we're keeping you fresh in the world of myths.
(00:31):
And helping us feel better together because god knows we need it.
You ain't lying, it's been another long week of a lot of news, another week of overstimulation.
But I hope everybody's keeping trying to keep their shit together.
Speaking of that, I just want to say this. I saw something that said there's a difference between over consumption and being aware.
(00:56):
Y'all take this time to just be aware and be educated, but do not over consume because doom scrolling is a real thing and you get to breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, breaking news.
And we know right now the breaking news ain't great.
And this one motherfucker that he be having good news, but every time you see that motherfucker face breaking news, breaking news.
(01:17):
Aaron? You talking about Aaron the little white boy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm unfollowing you right now because every time I scroll past your face, breaking news, you know what, bitch block.
I know the news is breaking.
Anytime this motherfucker is in the conversation, the news is breaking.
When is it never not breaking? Get out of my face.
I'd follow him, but I just had to mute him because I'm like, I can't right now.
(01:45):
I just can't right now, right now.
I guess I've accepted the fact that I'm at this, you know what, friend, you said something a while back ago.
And I might consider that shit now, I don't do it here in Texas, but I only remember, I think I might run for some shit for him.
I mean, why not?
(02:06):
They need the millennials have to do it at this point.
Yeah, look who's in there.
If he if he can be president, any one of us can do anything, to be honest.
Speaking of that, I don't know if this is true or not, but it gagged me when I read it.
They said the president of Mexico said, why is Trump worried about sending the rapists and criminals back when the United States elected one?
(02:33):
I said she is a she's petty.
She is pretty. I didn't see one of her talking about call calling America, Mexican America,
since he won a call, the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Mexico.
Listen, maybe she turned them back around.
She said, don't you bring the folks back over here?
(02:54):
It's a lot of places turning them around.
Yeah, you will not send them here.
You know where they are. I did see a story where it was like they're releasing some of them now.
I guess you don't have the resources to love to hold them.
Luckily, there we go. We got to conversing. There's good in there.
Y'all look for the good. There's good in this somewhere.
(03:18):
We just got to find it. We got to focus on it.
And like I said, at this point, it's time to tear some shit up, y'all.
Stand up for yourself. Stand up for your friends. Stand up for your community. Stand up for your neighbors.
We are in this fight together and we are not going to what did Kamala say?
We are not going back. Period.
(03:39):
And if we don't stand up for people, then nobody else will.
And to be honest, at this point, I honestly feel like a lot of people are waking up to what's actually happened and what has happened.
So I feel like there's a lot more unity now than there was right before he took office.
So even though it's a lot of motherfuckers, it's still hateful.
But some of them are like, my chick.
(04:03):
What do you mean? I might not get my chick.
This is what we're trying to tell you.
The bad you made you lied in.
And the crazy thing is, you're a dumbass human, but you're a human nonetheless.
You're a hateful ass human, but you're a human nonetheless.
Now, I'm not going to say I'm not going to stoop to your level and I'm going to turn the other cheek because, bitch, I will light your motherfucking ass up.
(04:26):
And I want you to understand that I mean that from my black ass heart.
I hope you all seen that lip. That was the lip of destruction.
When you see somebody lip go up the side like that.
Because I meant that shit for real, for real.
What I need you to understand, though, is that I am still a human and I still have a heart.
And just because you're dumb as fuck doesn't mean that you doesn't mean that you're incapable of learning whatever ignorant ass ways made you do the stupid shit that you did like vote for a damn.
(04:57):
I just will never I blame the Democrats for this.
I'm going to have a quick tangent and then we're going to get back to it.
I blame you fucking Democrats for this because this man should have never, ever all the shit that he's doing right now.
You all mean to tell me you all don't have a backbone in you at all.
Or let's go back. He should have never, ever had the opportunity to be here again.
(05:20):
A convicted felon can't vote, but one can be the president.
Make that make sense. That was my whole gripe.
Like we had four years to make sure that this couldn't happen again.
He tried to overthrow the government.
He tried to throw a coup and then he didn't let these crazy motherfuckers back out.
It was crazy if there's certain Republicans who voted for him, who also are like, no, he shouldn't have did that.
(05:44):
Like somebody got to get a backbone or which all are about to find out is that America is a very spoiled ass country.
So if you don't give us what we want, eventually enough of us is going to turn and we're going to tear this shit up,
including some of the dummies that voted for him when they start losing their basic rights, because let me be very clear.
This is not just a black, a Hispanic, a queer thing, erasing people who have always existed and we will never stop existing.
(06:11):
This is also a major class issue.
And if you do not fit within a certain class, no matter what you look like, you will be affected by this.
This is true. Y'all are about to see all are about to see.
So either you don't join us or you're going to fall right in the pits of hell and suffer either way.
(06:31):
And let's give a give a shout out to the people that's on Tik Tok or YouTube bringing you news.
Pray for them because Aaron, the one that you mentioned before, I don't know if you've been seeing him lately,
but he looked like he ain't getting no sleep and I'm worried about him.
I mean, he looks stressed out. I'm just to take a nap. Take a couple of days off. It's going to be OK.
(06:53):
You know, he's from here. Is he? Mm hmm.
That's crazy. I didn't know that. Yeah.
But all this news ain't worth your life.
It's not. It's not. And again, you have to remember the media feeds you certain things in general.
Just knowing to pull back.
(07:16):
Like I said, you need to be aware, but knowing to pull back, knowing too much is too much
because you can't do shit on the outside if the inside is so up.
It don't work that way. So take care of you.
And then we can we can we can we can start knocking a few buck.
But first, we got to, you know, got to make sure that inside is is is Kumbaya.
(07:41):
Peace and love and Eric Abydu and that little bowl thing.
We got to make sure that's on the inside, but on the outside now enough is enough.
Come in the club, shake my dress, throw it like, you know, balance.
But anyways, how's your week been, friend?
(08:01):
My week has been pretty good. It's been pretty chill, actually.
Got out, got outside in some of this beautiful sunlight,
because it's been about 70 degrees here in the daytime, and it's actually been beautiful outside.
Go outside and get some nature. So I'm feeling pretty good.
I haven't like completely disconnected from social media yet.
(08:23):
Pretty much just TikTok and Blue Sky. But other than that, I've just kind of been chilling.
When it comes to music this week, mostly the same,
but there has been an addition and make sure I'm gay or name wrong.
Britney Spencer. So Britney Spencer came across my TikTok, singing her singing for her wife.
(08:48):
And she actually has a lot of music out that I didn't really know.
But she has an album called My Stupid Life Party that I almost missed.
And I think this is a deluxe from the other album.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful singer, beautiful album.
She has a song called Bigger Than the Song. I don't know if you've ever heard it.
(09:12):
Please, please, please, please go check it out.
I'm going to try my best to remember to put that in the caption,
because sometimes I'd be forgetting to put shit in the caption.
I apologize. We're doing my best.
But anyways, when it comes to TV, I've been watching an anime called The Seven Deadly Sins,
which actually has like four different series, it looks like, on Netflix.
(09:37):
Or I know a couple of movies and a couple of different series.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful anime, somewhat kind of a little bit perverted too, but.
In a good way, not crazy.
They do be somewhat nasty.
Hi, my name is Yokashima.
And it's got like 48 quadruple D titties.
(10:02):
She does. They all do.
I watched the movie before I started the series for whatever reason.
A girl was standing outside, and of course, she had on her short skirt, big ass titties, cleavage hanging out.
She walked out of the fucking house and they say, you know, his head is up on the skirt.
He's like, how you doing today?
I'm like, oh!
(10:26):
Face was just all up in it. I was like, OK.
Listen.
But that's the recurring theme of him being Johnny Bravo around the series.
Maybe Johnny Bravo was supposed to be on Me Too.
Johnny Bravo.
You know, Johnny Bravo was 17, though.
(10:46):
I thought he was older.
I swear to God, I read this somewhere recently, too, like in the last few months.
I think it went viral on TikTok.
They were talking about Johnny.
Johnny Bravo's actual age was like 17.
I was like, OK, all this shit is highly problematic at this point.
I just knew Johnny Bravo was 30 years old.
(11:08):
I thought so, too.
But no, that anime stuff, me and Naomi was talking about that one day.
Did you say the white people in the cartoon?
I didn't say nothing.
Let's go to the next.
How has your week been?
(11:31):
Friend, I don't know how that's possible, Lord, even though I'm so weak.
This week for me has been chill.
I know new music this week.
I kind of was revved up a little bit, like my nerves been a little stressed out.
(11:53):
And then finally, I was just like, you know what, fuck it.
I'm just going to be OK.
I'm going to feel OK, and I'm not going to let anything prevent me from feeling OK.
And that's just been the vibe.
And that's worked so far.
Sometimes you have to be the Lulu with yourself.
As far as TV goes, because no new music.
(12:16):
TV, I started watching Harlem again.
I forgot how much Megan Good's character, Camille, pisses me off.
I forgot how much that character actually pisses me off.
She is a lot irritating.
Not even a little bit.
She's a lot.
And then Quinn, I love Quinn down.
(12:37):
And I need y'all to give Quinn a fucking break.
Please.
This is the last season.
Give this girl some damn peace.
Ty is Ty.
I am enjoying Ty's art so far this season.
Listen, they gagged me last season with her wanting to start a relationship with the mom
(12:58):
and finding out that her jump off was her daughter.
I said, God, what's the shit to find out?
Listen, that might actually make me go straight.
How do you even exist?
I wouldn't talk to either one of them ever.
(13:19):
You can't.
You can't.
Oh, gosh.
I would have relocated.
Yeah.
I would have relocated.
Like, what do you do from there?
Like, oh.
Listen, New York is big.
Chicago is beautiful.
Houston's nice.
I'll just relocate to another big city.
Oh my God.
But yeah, Angie, actually, Angie's character.
(13:41):
I'm not sure how to feel about Angie's character this season.
She's normally-
You don't talk about Angie.
I love Angie down.
That's what I'm saying.
But it's like, I don't know.
And her new beau, I don't know, something.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's Mr. Swoop.
Whoever, whatever.
(14:05):
Be so fucking for real.
Yeah.
And I think that's his shit too.
I don't think this is a wig.
I think he took his afro and went, he looked like, what's the name?
It is-
I'm trying to remember it's a character.
It is a cartoon character that that shit reminds me of.
(14:26):
And I'm just like, beast.
Just you know what?
But yeah, something.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm just waiting.
So yeah.
But that and then Unrivaled.
Anybody on here who listens, who follows the WNBA knows this has been a hell of a week.
(14:48):
For us this last week, so many crazy ashtrays.
I don't even know what the hell is going on anymore.
I'm just like, they dismantled my whole team.
The whole Connecticut Sun Run.
That everybody keeps talking about.
I ain't talking about Luca.
That trade was actually insane.
(15:08):
I saw somebody, the funniest thing I seen was this girl was like on blue sky.
She said, explain this trade in girl terms.
They said, okay, imagine trading T-Boz for Beyonce.
I don't know why.
So who is T-Boz in the situation?
(15:29):
T-Boz is absolutely AD, Anthony Davis.
Absolutely.
When I tell you, he got his kneecaps made out of like the confetti paper.
This nigga spent the first half of his whole career injured.
Legs just sound like loose change.
(15:50):
He stayed injured.
Oh gosh.
Lord, I can't say nothing.
You might have seen him.
He's a tall like skinned dude, a brazen.
He's known for his unibrow.
I was about to say, listen, it's a tall people thing.
That's why they be injured all the time.
I guess so.
Them legs ain't strong enough and them ligaments be.
And Luca has been doing amazing in Dallas.
(16:11):
So it was just like, who the fuck?
What is this?
But no, the Connecticut Sun.
I started following the Connecticut Sun because of DeWanna Bonner, which is probably a shocker
for a lot of people because y'all know I'm an Alabama fan, Roll Todd.
But she played for Auburn and she was just a phenomenal player.
And I kind of just followed her career throughout her entire time playing.
(16:33):
And then she ended up with the Connecticut Suns.
But she's been doing really well there.
And then, of course, her fiance, A.T. is on the Sun.
It was great.
And then all of a sudden, they just, when I tell you they dismantled all of them now,
I'm not mad at Adesina Carrington and Alyssa because her and her girlfriend, they're here
(16:57):
now in Dallas.
I can go watch them play.
I'm not mad about that.
But they just sent everybody else everywhere.
I was like, God.
So just anyways, I say all that to say these trades have been crazy.
Speaking of that, though, what was so funny when they said it was like, send a Beyonce
to Destiny's Child trade.
(17:20):
In my mind, all I could hear was, it's so hard in times.
But the heartache lives on inside.
It's just
(17:53):
I don't think you do.
I got your dinner.
You deserve so much more.
Cater to you.
(18:18):
No!
That is so mean y'all, but Atticus knows this, I'm a huge TLC fan.
But I thought that shit was funny as hell.
I was like, bro.
I need somebody to do that on AI now.
I need somebody to make that on AI right now.
(18:39):
I am in love with you.
You set me free.
I can't do this thing.
(19:00):
I swear to God y'all, it was a few times I didn't know what the fuck was going on when she was singing.
I was like, what is...
Is she okay?
Love her. Love her down though. Love her down. Love her down.
But the truth gonna be the truth no matter who's telling it.
I was like, y'all are shit for saying this.
(19:21):
But yeah, that...
What?
My favorite would be imagining her singing, listen...
(19:42):
The song here in my heart.
Start doing the waterfalls.
Listen, the thing is when they made her voice work, her voice worked for her stuff.
It did.
(20:07):
Now on the other hand, can you imagine Beyonce singing some of those songs?
Can you imagine Beyonce in waterfalls?
She would have towed them songs up.
Do you hear me?
I can't do it. I want to do it so bad, but I can't.
Yeah, that's not an easy voice to replicate.
(20:28):
That was her yelling error though.
Because you remember she used to yell.
I love yelling Beyonce.
I love all Beyonce, Beyonce.
Love her down.
Speaking of that,
shout out to, first of all, what a Black Ass Grammys award.
(20:49):
My God today.
They finally got it right this time.
It's been only been how many awards? 50?
Plus, only took 50 something, but it finally got it right.
I mean, I just love the fact that everybody came together.
It was powerful.
Everybody was in unison.
(21:10):
A minor.
Do you know?
They're doing they little white girl things.
I don't know why they be flying away.
(21:31):
They do be like, girl, what the hell are you doing?
It's like being on ecstasy every time.
Do you know I would have had to actually relocate like whole continents?
I just watched all my peers.
Beyonce was trying to keep it cute, but she was over there.
(22:00):
She was really good at it.
Quite literally laughed in your face.
This is for anybody.
And I say Atticus, what was that? A tweet or something?
I had screenshot it.
Blue sky.
Yeah.
I was just like, for anybody who thinks that Drake lost or that people are just attacking Drake, it's time to let it go.
(22:29):
It's time to let it go.
Nobody's attacking you.
You did lose.
You did lose.
But nobody's attacking you.
Like it's it's it's and you did this to yourself.
Because he said we can run the friendly fade and then you wanted to talk about him beating Whitney upside head and how his kid wasn't his kid.
And he was like, OK, cool.
(22:50):
This is what ego does.
Pride go before the falling.
God damn, was that a fall?
Every single damn time.
Fell off the Eiffel Tower.
I just I don't know.
I just imagine I just I just imagine that he just sat there.
(23:11):
And the funniest thing is that Kendrick also did this in a Canadian tuxedo, which made it even funnier.
He was in all denim.
I was like, he wants you to know that he's going to step on your neck for the rest of your fucking life.
I don't know if anybody's seen it yet, but I do want you to go look.
You know, he's on tour in Australia.
I think it just started.
He came out on tour with his with a hoodie with bullet holes in it and smoke coming out the back of the hoodie.
(23:41):
I guess to represent that he had been he had been smoked, which would be correct, because he had been smoked.
But I don't I don't I don't know.
I thought it was like a bit much like it ain't that serious.
It's not that well, I guess it kind of is.
But I mean, not really at your own detriment, like you do.
(24:03):
You did this.
You did this.
I just let's see.
We'll see what 2025 has in store for your boy.
Maybe I don't know.
Maybe maybe some luck will pick back up for him.
But honestly, think he's too big to fail like in the very same way that people like.
(24:25):
Like Nicki Minaj have their their core, their super core family that no matter what they do, they're going to be there to support you.
I think he has that.
So he's going to be successful, I feel like, regardless.
Agree. But it won't be the same.
You don't have the.
You know what he's used to.
Yeah.
Also, so I mentioned that the Grammys was like super black this year, which I loved.
(24:50):
Love, love, love, love, love.
So shout out to Samara Joy to take the bangers to Rhapsody to Kendrick.
There was a few others.
I'm sorry.
She told you I did not forget.
I was going to say, don't she don't she and Beyonce were my highlights.
I knew I love Kendrick down.
(25:12):
Y'all know I'm Kendrick bias, but I knew Kendrick was going to get some Grammys.
I knew it.
Not like this was too big of a track.
Yeah, it was just too big of a track for it not to happen.
I was surprised that he swept though.
He said, OK, but I'm taking all of many did.
But Beyonce finally getting her crown.
She didn't need it from y'all anyways, because Beyonce is Beyonce.
(25:33):
But the true recognition for the at least I would say in my personal opinion, I love all of her body to work with her last three for absolute certain, certain war album of the years.
Lemonade, Coward Carter, Renaissance.
I don't think there's a question in mind.
You maybe you can argue some of the old ones.
Those last three.
(25:54):
Absolutely not.
I would even go as far as saying that Lion King album.
I don't I don't know how everybody feels about that album.
The Lion King album was a great ass album album of the year.
Maybe not, but I feel like it was definitely Grammy worthy.
That was a great ass body of work.
Also, can we talk about her face when they called her name for the country album?
(26:15):
Because you could tell she was fully invested in the conversation, like paying attention.
Beyonce's like.
Friend country.
Me.
You already know how my petty black heart feels because I text you as soon as it happened.
I shout out to all the country stars who wanted to jump out the window as soon as they called her name.
(26:42):
And they put the camera right on them, too.
Because I know I know you all was it.
You all thought you all was doing something by not inviting her to the CMAs or not nominating her for anything.
And then had the nerve to tell a black woman from Texas, which is crazy to me that she didn't know country.
Baby, this is where this is where it happened.
(27:05):
But said I wouldn't settle up.
Well, now look.
And on top of that country.
Tell me what a listen now that I told you, I think Cowboy Carter Renaissance is a I can tell you my top three.
I can easily take my top three now.
(27:26):
And this is crazy because forever I thought nothing was going to debunk for for MBDA was like two of my and they still are two of my favorite albums of all time.
But Cowboy Carter Renaissance and Lemonade, they hit me real different.
They hit me real different.
Like.
The albums, they got me in like that is my Beyonce Trinity, followed closely by B day for and of course, her self-titled album.
(27:56):
The album was good as hell.
I'm not ready to give my Trinity.
I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not ready yet.
I'm not ready yet.
It's all right.
I listen.
Oh, Cowboy Carter had me in a bad choke hold.
I missed the Renaissance tour.
I swear to God, I will not miss this one.
I will not I don't give a fuck if I got a job.
(28:20):
I ain't flying right now.
Sidebar to all those who lost people.
I truly apologize.
That is terrible, terrible thing to have happened to our dumbass administration to bring DI up when people are.
I after I seen that little statement, I was like, wow, America's actually garbage.
We are.
(28:43):
Yes, condolences to everybody because that's that's tough.
And then to see it be publicized like this is crazy.
I can't imagine what that feels like.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Just shout out to every.
Don't she first of all, don't you I want you to know you have my heart in real time, girl.
(29:04):
Let me tell you something.
Ever since and Eddie knows this ever since I heard persuasive, I was stuck.
I was persuasive.
I think she ended up being what she might spot a five top five that year because yeah, like that.
I was the and after that, I just been a doji stand ever since when I listen to her old stuff.
We went to the beach one time, I think they was with us and she came up in May's because you remember,
(29:31):
they was playing this music.
She came up in May's music and I was like, what's this?
That had to be no 1920.
Maybe I don't remember exactly.
Got to be 19.
I think it might have been 19.
Yeah.
But I was like, who is this?
And look at look at her now.
Thrive it.
Thrive it.
(29:53):
She's so black with it too.
Yes.
Unapologetically so.
Just like she should be.
Just the things.
Doshi, I want you to get everything.
I want you to get everything that you deserve tenfold because you deserve it.
You deserve everything from your next lifetime already, Queen.
I hope you get it all.
Oh, it's up from here.
She know it.
(30:15):
It's up from here.
I just I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
And for that to be was that rap album of the year?
That is crazy.
Off a mixtape.
Off of a mixtape.
That is crazy.
And it was worth it.
(30:36):
100% deserved it.
I ain't going to sit here and lie and say I heard every album that was in that category.
I think I did.
But I mean, it was some decent.
It's been actually I think we talked about this last year, but 2024 was a great year for rap.
It was a great year for rap.
(30:58):
I have no complaints.
I will say this.
The West Coast held it down and then the ladies in the South held it down.
Megan dropped to well, basically was like a disc one, disc two type of situation.
These two had me in a chokehold.
A chokehold real bad.
(31:19):
Chokehold.
Glow dropped two albums.
Glow after literally after Dochi.
Glow was my favorite rapper last year after Dochi.
Glow's albums gave me the things and I'm a Megan Stan.
So that says a lot.
But like and then Lato did her thing.
Like the rap girlies in the South held it down.
(31:40):
And in the West Coast, you have Vince Staples.
You had my favorite personally favorite album last year.
Blue Lifts by Schoolboy Q.
Fucking amazing.
Kendrick.
We already know what Tom G and X was on.
It just it was Tyler the Creator.
It was so much good music.
(32:01):
I have no complaints.
I have no complaints.
No complaints.
I do. I have one thing I want to say because I remember a few years back it was all about we need more women rappers so they can have their own category.
I think there's enough now to have their own category.
One thousand.
And I think enough released music last year for them to have like their own category now because say you had Lato, Megan, Flo Milli, L'Oreal, Dochi.
(32:32):
Who's that?
Monolio released the album last year I believe too.
I think so.
And yeah so when it comes to the girls I listen to them.
I don't know nothing else that's happening but I listen to all the girls music.
Speaking of the girls.
Y'all stop playing in my baby baby Tate's face.
Give her her fucking things.
(32:54):
I think it was like an EP but yes.
It was still good.
Great as fuck.
Yeah.
She's the bad body of work ever at all.
Period.
So give baby Tate her things.
All of them.
Yes.
All of them.
And she's funny as fuck.
Like she has a great personality.
I just so much so much black excellence.
(33:15):
Alicia Keys put on some makeup.
I do a series because she don't ever put on.
Put on some makeup came out there.
Queen Latifah came out there like the super stud she is.
Listen.
I was like oh yes.
Yes but the unison A minor.
(33:43):
Taylor Swift totally hell up.
I know she was totally hell up.
It was a.
It was a great song.
What it must feel like to be one of the most like.
So if you're in that field with them.
(34:04):
Some of them of course want to be respectful.
I don't want to be doing too much because you know they going to see this.
But what it must be like to be one of the most powerful people in music.
I would dare say Taylor Swift is probably the most.
Yeah.
I would think so.
I don't give a fuck.
I would think so.
(34:25):
What you gonna do bitch.
The fact that.
Taylor Swift.
The funniest thing is like OK so we all know that Taylor and Kendrick collabed before but like she is a genuine Kendrick stan.
So it's just like oh my god this is.
And then.
Oh that's right Drake did bring her name up because he was like if I was Taylor Swift.
Y'all wouldn't do me like this.
Taylor Swift probably wouldn't be in a band with Kendrick.
(34:48):
She also wouldn't put herself in that situation that you put yourself in.
I just.
A few times.
Well there's that.
So I just know that the boogie man is sitting at Kendrick.
Not Kendrick but Drake's bed every night laughing in his face.
Laughing in his face.
It's just.
(35:09):
It's a.
It is actually.
It's time to let this beef go on Drake's side.
Kendrick is going to drag this out.
That's a Gemini.
He's going to drag this out forever.
Until it's not fun for him anymore.
Yeah exactly.
But it's just like Drake just time for you to focus on this party next door album.
Whatever that's going to be.
(35:31):
I feel like also that's no disrespect to party next door.
But what it must be like to like sit in bed and regret a decision you made almost a year
ago now because it has affected you that much.
When you could have been like damn.
I really had the option not to say anything at all.
(35:55):
I didn't.
I'm just saying.
Tell me what it sounds like.
Oh God.
Oh God.
That's probably what it sounds like to in his head after you get high.
Get high off shrooms.
(36:17):
I'm just saying.
Stupid, stupid Drake.
Stupid Drake.
Stupid, stupid Drake.
He's devastated right now.
He's.
He's.
Yeah.
Poor kid.
Oh gosh.
But anyway.
On to true black excellence.
Shout out to everybody at the Grammys.
(36:41):
Shout out to Beyonce for finally getting the album of the year.
She deserved.
Cowboy Carter is so damn good.
It is so damn good.
Yes.
But yeah.
Shout out to all the black excellence.
I love to see it.
We're going to start black history off right.
And then we are about to continue into our.
The next one.
(37:05):
What do you want to call it friend? I don't know what to call it.
Exposing black excellence.
Let's say that.
Cause some of these people hadn't heard of before.
Actually.
I haven't really heard a lot of these people.
I haven't heard of it.
Other than like.
The first one, my first one actually surprised me.
Cause you know, I worked with eyes.
For nine years.
(37:26):
I was like, I'm going to be a black.
I'm going to be a black.
All right.
So it's time to dive into our exposed and black.
Excellent segment.
Y'all.
Again, same concept as last time we're going to be doing this all month
long.
Showing you people that you did not really know about.
(37:48):
Like I said, we get taught about the same people all the time.
It's time to learn about.
Some different folks because black history is American history.
Black history is the history of black history.
Black history is the history of Black history.
Like,
That's what I'm saying.
Even though there were a lot of captives said, we are,
we are so much more remember slavery is white history,
not black history.
How we overcame it is black history.
(38:10):
So there you go.
We're going to start out with Mr.
George Carothers.
George Carothers was a renowned African-American physicist and
inventor whose innovations significantly advanced space
Born October 1st, Team Libra in 1939 in Cincinnati, Ohio, he demonstrated an early aptitude in
(38:35):
science building his own telescope at the age of 10, which is crazy.
After earning a PhD in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from the University of Illinois,
Carruthers joined the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.
There, he invented the FAR Ultraviolet Camera Spectrograph, which became the first moon-based
(38:56):
observatory during the Apollo 16 mission in 1972.
This device allows scientists to capture ultraviolet images of Earth and space, revealing valuable
information about Earth's atmosphere and the presence of molecular hydrogen in interstellar
space, a critical element in understanding the universe's composition.
Carruthers' invention laid the foundation for modern astrophysical research and space
(39:20):
exploration, influencing subsequent missions like Skylab and the Space Shuttle.
His efforts also extended beyond research as he inspired future generations through
programs like the Space and Engineers Apprentice Program, teaching roles at Howard University.
(39:42):
In recognition of his contributions, he received prestigious accolades, including NASA's Exceptional
Science Scientific Achievement Medal and the National Medal of Technology and Innovation
in 2013.
Carruthers' legacy endures as a symbol of scientific curiosity and dedication to innovation.
Amazing.
Did you say built a telescope at the age of 10?
(40:04):
At the age of 10.
At the age of 10.
That is insanity.
What?
Love is in the air.
Love is in the air.
Girl.
Damn.
Okay.
Again, people that I did not know existed or knew what they had accomplished.
That's crazy.
All right.
So my first one today is Ms. Patricia Bath.
(40:29):
Patricia Bath was a pioneering American ophthalmologist and humanitarian.
Born in New York City, she made significant contributions to the field of ophthalmology.
If you didn't know, that's just the study of eye disease and was a trailblazer for women
and African Americans in medicine.
(40:49):
Bath was the first African American woman to complete a residency in ophthalmology at
New York University and the first woman to chair an ophthalmology residency program in
the United States.
Work.
Yes.
She received a bachelor's degree from Hunter College in 1964, a medical degree from Howard
University in 1968, graduating with honors.
(41:13):
Now I would like to say this too.
Like I just told y'all, I worked in ophthalmology for like nine years.
I didn't meet not one black woman ophthalmologist.
There were a couple of optometrists, but no ophthalmologist.
And like reading about her just brought that up to me.
(41:34):
It was like, damn, I really didn't see it any.
But okay, onto the reason she's so important, my bad.
At Harlem Hospital, Dr. Bath discovered that black patients were twice as likely to be
blind while white patients at Columbia University were not.
She observed that it was inadequate eye care in minority communities that caused an increase
(41:56):
in blindness.
This made her start the first community eye care clinic, which has been copied worldwide.
In 1976, she founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness.
As the founder, Dr. Bath went to many countries to teach, speak, give equipment, do surgeries
and study the medicine of other countries.
(42:18):
She developed a new surgical process in the field of ophthalmology because of her work
with lasers.
In 1981, she started developing the laser vagal probe, a device that uses lasers to
penetrate and destroy cataracts.
After removal of the cataract, a surgeon will replace the lens of the eye.
(42:39):
The disadvantage of other cataract treatments is that a good surgeon can't make a perfect
cut on the eye like a laser can.
By inventing the laser vagal probe, she made cataract surgery safer because the laser doesn't
harm surrounding tissue.
The laser vagal probe combines laser and ultrasound energy transmitted by a flexible line, which
(43:00):
includes an optical fiber delivery system and an irrigation sleeve through an incision
of the eye surface, preferably less than one millimeter.
The irrigation around the fiber tip helps to reduce heat loss.
The optical fiber efficiency delivers units of energy to the lens through the incision
of the eye.
(43:20):
It is a less painful and more efficient way for cataract treatments, and it's still used
to this day.
I had no idea a black person was responsible for that.
At all.
That craziness.
That is actually absolutely amazing.
But yes, she was doing her thing.
(43:42):
Look at a young Patricia.
Patricia, you was kind of, I'm so sorry.
Oh, shit.
Up your heart.
Patricia, you're a little fine.
Save these eyeballs.
Y'all see me in contact.
Atticus knows I wear glasses.
Baby, you're so cute.
(44:04):
You should put them on.
Maybe I will next episode, but y'all, your girl is actually blonde.
I'm talking about blonde as a bat.
All right.
So my next gentleman is Elmer Samuel Imes.
Born in 1883, he passed in 1941.
(44:24):
He was a groundbreaking African American physicist and the second African American to earn a
PhD in physics, which he obtained from the University of Michigan in 1918.
Imes' work revolutionized the field of molecular physics through the pioneering use of infrared
spectroscopy to study molecular structures.
(44:45):
His research provided critical experimental evidence supporting quantum theory, which
is super cool to me, by the way, and offer the first accurate measurements of atomic
— actually insane — atomic distances and molecules.
This work played a significant role in validating the emerging field of quantum mechanics and
(45:05):
is widely cited in the scientific literature.
After earning his doctorate, Imes worked as a research physicist and engineer obtaining
four patents for his innovations.
He later returned to Fisk University in 1929 where he established a physics program that
inspired generations of students.
Despite his significant contributions to science, of course, Imes faced racial barriers that
(45:29):
limited his recognition for his work during his lifetime, particularly in the United States,
because of course.
However, his legacy endures as a pivotal figure who bridged the fields of physics and engineering
paving the way for future African American sciences.
I hate how some of these stories end that way.
(45:49):
You didn't get the recognition you deserved because you were dark, even though you were
helping everybody.
Right.
Now, don't talk about Mi'ala.
I had to double check to make sure she wasn't a white woman because she was —
I thought she was a white man.
I'm so sorry.
Listen.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm so sorry.
Okay.
(46:13):
Wait.
Okay.
Okay.
So, this — yes, Ms. Trotchbell, sir.
Oh, no.
(46:39):
Oh, that's trouble.
So this is Maggie Lena Walker.
Maggie was a trailblazer African American businesswoman and civic leader.
Born in Richmond, Virginia, she became the first African American woman to charter a
(46:59):
bank in the United States.
In 1903, she founded the St. Luke Penny Saving Bank, which provided financial services to
the African American community and supported economic independence.
By 1920, it had financed 645 African American homes in the Richmond area.
Her, she was also involved in several organizations, including the Independent Order of St. Luke.
(47:24):
This organization played a crucial role in providing aid to African Americans who were
civic, poor, or elderly.
Under Walker's leadership, it expanded its membership to over 20 states in the District
of Columbia.
The National Association of Colored Women, the National Urban League, and the National
Negro Business League are other organizations she was a part of.
(47:47):
She was a strong advocate for civil rights and worked tirelessly to improve the lives
of African Americans.
Her restored home in Richmond's historic Jackson Ward neighborhood is now a historic
landmark operated by the National Park Service.
I thought she was pretty cool, especially actually being able to like own a bank.
(48:10):
That's crazy.
Especially back then.
That is amazing.
That is amazing.
All right, guys.
So my last one is Mr. Michael Croslin.
Michael Croslin is an inventor and biomedical engineer whose contributions have significantly
impacted modern healthcare.
He is best known for developing a computerized device that monitors blood pressure and pulse,
(48:31):
which revolutionized non-invasive patient care and vital sign monitoring.
This innovation allowed for more accurate and efficient measurements, which is now the
standard in medical practices globally.
Croslin's work laid the foundation for advancements in health technology, influencing the design
of modern patient monitoring systems and improving outcomes in critical and routine care settings.
(48:55):
Beyond his technical contributions, Croslin's achievements highlight the importance of innovation
in biomedical engineering.
His work remains a testament to the role African Americans have, I'm sorry, African American
inventors have played in shaping the healthcare industry, which just Atticus did one.
I just did.
So like there, it's a bunch of them.
(49:17):
My next one is one, too.
Same, same.
Demonstrating the transformative power of technology in improving medical care and patient
experiences.
Y'all, yeah, stuff you use today.
Stuff you use today.
Who's getting your blood pressure checked every day?
(49:37):
Right.
Every time you go to the doctor.
Okay.
So the next one is Mr. Dr. Charles Drew.
So Drew's research focused on blood transfusions and the preservation of blood plasma.
He discovered that plasma could be separated and stored for longer periods, which was crucial
(50:02):
for blood transfusions.
During World War II, I see I couldn't even talk, World War II, Drew was recruited to
be the medical director of the Blood of Britain Project, which aimed to collect and ship plasma
to Britain for use in treating wounded soldiers.
The project was highly successful, collecting over 14,500 blood donations and shipping 5,000
(50:26):
liters of plasma.
Drew's work laid the foundation for modern blood banking techniques and the establishment
of large scale blood banks.
Drew became the first African American to earn a doctor of science in surgery from Columbia
University and he was appointed as the medical director of the American Red Cross Blood Bank.
(50:48):
However, yeah.
However, he resigned from this position in protest of the Red Cross's policy of segregating
blood donations by race.
Dr. Charles Drew legacy is a testament to his dedication to improving medical practices
and commitment to fighting racial discrimination in healthcare.
(51:10):
His pioneering work has left a wonderful mark on the field of medicine.
Despite his crucial role in blood transfusions during the World War II, he faced racial discrimination
and was not fully acknowledged for his contributions during his lifetime, which is unfortunate.
They did so much great stuff.
(51:31):
That looks like a white man.
It does look like a white man.
The fact that he looks like that and y'all still discriminating against him is crazy.
Crazy.
And Lord, y'all, I was looking to make sure, because both him and Maggie, they looked like
Caucasian people.
(51:52):
And I just wanted to make sure I had it right before I came up here, but they were African
American.
That is.
But you know, back then, if you was a little bit darker, you know, and we all, we all know
how.
That one drop rule.
Yeah.
While there are so many, we know why there were so many lighter skinned.
(52:15):
We do.
Black people back then.
So shout out to all of these people.
They did amazing, amazing, amazing things and things that still impact us today.
Again, I reiterate, black history is American history.
Shout out this world history.
Shout out to all the people who made significant differences in how we operate and how we live
(52:39):
today.
And I can't really say much more.
That is like excellence at its finest.
Sure is.
It's crazy.
And just just appreciation.
We appreciate them.
Yes.
For everything they done that we don't know about.
(53:00):
And everybody else that's been contributed something that we don't know about and take
for granted.
And the sacrifices like if you, especially the last two stories, unfortunately, the one
that I read and then the one you followed up, they, they both had a very similar ending.
And it's just like, there's no telling what they actually had to face behind the scenes.
Everybody, what's that movie?
(53:24):
Hidden Figures and that scene where Taraji, like that one main scene that everybody talks
about where she just, you know, I work like a doll and like just like how significant
they were to that mission.
And like how they were nothing more than another colored person, which is it's insane.
(53:47):
Black people celebrate yourself, celebrate yourself every single day.
We are amazing.
We've been amazing.
We will continue to be amazing.
Love yourself down because we deserve it.
We do.
Now onto the foolishness, the games and things.
So this is, this is another one of those majority rules.
(54:12):
So there's not really a wrong answer.
I just want to see what you're going to say.
Okay.
So what something of what is something a visitor to your house, but not do without permission.
Go in your refrigerator.
Refrigerator.
That is a black staple rule.
(54:38):
You in my kitchen.
There were a few that's, that's the exact same one.
I was going to pick B lay in your bed, C put their feet on your table and D shit in your
bathroom.
Listen, if you gotta go, you gotta go.
I don't give a damn about you taking no shit.
If you gotta go, you gotta go.
(54:58):
Don't you don't shit on yourself.
And I don't want you to experience that.
Don't shit on yourself on my floor.
God damn it.
Right.
That wasn't go to, go to the bathroom.
It was either a or B for me because don't, don't lay in my bed.
(55:19):
Why would you lay in?
Well, I feel like in black families, but this is different because you said that's like
a stranger or something like, yeah.
Black families, you'd be at the barbecue and it'd be some little two year old toddler
just stretched out in anybody's bed.
That's true anyway.
Is this in a fucking table chair?
(55:41):
Sleep.
I'm a hard sleep.
Yeah.
Oh, the baby's neck up.
The baby ain't got no support.
Put a pillow on the, why did that?
Yeah, friend.
I knew that that is a black ass question and I knew that black ass answer.
I wish you would.
Strangers come in my house to start drinking my juice.
(56:03):
What is one thing they better not do if they get in your car?
I think you already know my answer.
Probably smoke.
Well, I have two.
Smoking is one.
The other one is don't fuck with my music.
So yeah, I was going to say, I think mine is like, don't come in messing with my radio.
(56:23):
Don't touch my music.
Like me and you, we have a shared playlist.
This is true.
So we already know how that goes.
Don't you come in here hitting nicks, bitch, I'll hit you upside the head.
Yeah.
I was going to say, I, but I listen to so much variety.
I don't know.
That might not bother me so bad.
I think the smoking thing would bother me more because I don't smoke anymore.
(56:48):
I don't smoke cigarettes anymore.
But like, I, yeah, like.
And that shit lingers.
Yeah.
That's the nastiest, stalest, which people who smoke you might, you probably don't smell
it the same way, but it's irritating.
(57:11):
This is irritating, lingering ass smell.
All right.
Look away.
This is mine, y'all.
All right.
So.
Let me see.
So I can't say that.
Oh, I know what easy one.
(57:32):
Salt or sugar.
Condiments?
No.
Pepper?
No.
This is a great debate in the black community.
Grits.
Grits.
Grits.
So I say both.
(57:55):
I like to put salt in them, but I also put like jelly in it too, like.
Okay.
Okay.
Great jelly.
So that's different.
That's a little different.
Like you mixing stuff up together.
True.
But to put sugar, I don't want no porridge or oatmeal.
If I want that, then that's what I'm going to eat.
So people actually put like straight sugar in it.
Is that the debate?
Straight white sugar.
(58:15):
Oh.
You know what?
That's interesting.
I tried to see.
I like, I like, I don't even, ooh, y'all can take my black art for this.
I'm not the biggest fan of grits.
I will eat them.
But to just like, you know, grit, to eat a grit.
(58:36):
I bought grits from Sam's.
Tell me why I still got, it was a pack of four.
I got three and three quarters big ass bags of grits still in that pantry.
All right.
All right.
So this one, which of these artists would you want to sing at your funeral?
Jill Scott, Letticee, Fantasia or Kiki Wyatt?
(59:07):
I would come up out of the grave if I heard she's dead.
So Kiki Wyatt is out of here.
(59:29):
She's off the list.
Really from Philly, I, you know, I love Jill Scott down, down, down, down.
I don't think, I don't think that would be her thing.
So this is going to sound crazy, but when I think of Jill Scott, my eyes just crossed.
(59:51):
I don't know what the hell happened there.
When I think of Jill Scott, I think of like life.
Does that sound crazy?
Like no, it doesn't.
Like she doesn't get a funeral.
She doesn't get a funeral.
I think she's going to end up picking the same person.
Letticee also love Letticee down.
(01:00:12):
It would be between Letticee and Fantasia, but I'm going to tell you why Fantasia would
win.
Okay.
Because Fantasia would give me a good homecoming.
Do you hear my fumes?
Yes, she would.
Black folk call it fume.
My fumes, she would be in there, people be in there shouting, you know, my family already
religious.
So they think I was going to heaven.
I'm right in hell dancing with Satan.
I'm coming in, I'm just in there.
(01:00:35):
But Fantasia, they kicked off her shoes, she in there crying.
When I see you.
Yeah, when I see you again.
They're going to have to walk her off.
She's more sad than the people at the funeral.
(01:00:57):
Right.
You don't even know me.
I think I think I got to go with my girl Fantasia on that.
All right.
So I'm going to let y'all guess too.
I ain't going to show y'all nothing.
All right.
Oh, oh, this is going to be a tough one.
Actually no, it's not because I immediately know because I'm not shit.
(01:01:23):
Your arm.
Big mama your arm.
It's old food.
It ain't old food.
But what's the first thing you said?
Big mama.
Big mama's house.
Big mama.
Oh, just big mama.
Big mama.
I could have said lotto too.
(01:01:44):
You sure could have.
But when they call me big.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is another one that could go all sorts of ways.
You open your grandma's refrigerator and see a small grocery bag tied in a knot.
What's in it?
A leftovers.
(01:02:07):
B old teas and flour.
C sauce packets.
D salmonella.
I can tell you is absolutely D. The correct answer is D. The correct answer is D. But
it's going to be old flour.
Yes.
It's going to be D. Make sure you cook it good.
(01:02:31):
It's the old flour.
It's going to be old flour.
You're like grandma, you already put raw chicken.
That's good.
That's a lot.
And she going to tell you to shut the fuck up while she take her whole bare hand, dip
that chicken in that flour and place it down in the grease.
And you just sitting there.
(01:02:53):
You be like, don't grandma, please.
It's a hot.
It ain't hot shit.
Okay.
I'm gonna make y'all guess this one too.
This probably actually isn't fair though, because I know what to say to this.
(01:03:14):
But this would be something that only me and Addie would know.
We were supposed to go here in 2020.
Essence?
Essence.
We were definitely supposed to go to Essence.
Essence what?
Essence Fist.
Work.
Yep.
Damn.
We damn sure were.
I wonder if they're going to have it again this year.
(01:03:38):
Well, sure they are.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Isn't that usually like June?
June, July?
Yeah.
Okay.
I think it's like normally around Independence Day.
And it's going to be hot in the motor park outside in Louisiana.
We got it.
Everybody will be naked and pond, so it's worth it.
I was about to say it might be a good time.
(01:04:00):
Let's see.
Who is most liable to lie about wasting your time?
A, a pastor.
B, your supervisor.
C, a Negro.
Or D, a new boo.
A Negro and a new boo.
(01:04:22):
I think I'm going to go all of the above.
I would definitely say a new boo.
Definitely lying about wasting your time.
Or maybe not intentionally at first.
(01:04:43):
But definitely a new boo.
But definitely a Negro.
Especially, you all know something that made me mad.
I don't be getting hangry.
Like I really don't get hangry, but I get pissed off.
Like if I'm waiting for somebody to go eat and the motherfucker's late.
(01:05:03):
Like we supposed to be here eating and I can't order because you ain't here, bitch.
Yeah, because now I feel like you holding stuff up.
Now we going to leave late.
We didn't.
That would be my problem.
I don't want to leave.
I don't want to.
I want to be in my bed at a certain time.
I'm at the age now where I want to be in my bed in my house at a certain time.
(01:05:27):
That's the thing about Houston though is shit to do all the time.
Always like you can go out at midnight and not come home until the next day.
That's how crazy it is here.
The problem is I'm not built like that no more.
One o'clock is pushing it.
I'm like I could actually be at home watching YouTube and still be wide awake, but in my
(01:05:48):
bed happy.
That part.
I'm also past that age.
I'm not going to do no shit with you last minute.
You should have told me about this two days ago so I could prepare myself.
I need rest time before I get.
I got to take a nap now before I go out, bitch.
(01:06:09):
Very popular in the 2000s in Atlanta.
People still do it today.
Is it a dance?
Can't say dance, so it is a dance.
(01:06:36):
You typically see this at a gathering of black people.
Fuck.
The electric slide.
Same family of things.
The Cupid shuffle.
Same family of things.
You're getting closer.
God damn.
It came out in the 2000s.
(01:06:57):
It came out in the 2000s.
Came out in that trap era.
Shoulder lean.
Okay, so now you're definitely in the family.
Much hotter.
You.
No, because we don't do that no more.
(01:07:18):
It's something we still do.
God damn, I'm about to be wrong.
Hold on.
Give me just a little bit longer.
Shoulder lean, two-stepping.
No, no.
No, I don't know.
(01:07:38):
What is it?
Swag, sir.
Man, I got to.
God damn.
Yeah.
Damn.
We still swag, sir, friend.
Wow.
I'm swagging, sir.
And watch me surfing this way.
I'm all.
Yep.
Damn it.
It's all right.
Yeah, no, I would not have guessed that one.
(01:08:00):
I would not have guessed that.
Okay.
What name do you think your grandmother called your granddaddy in the bedroom back in the
day?
Daddy, Long John, baby, or mister?
(01:08:21):
Oh, Long John.
Oh, God.
Little No.
Oh, God.
(01:08:50):
So I know it's either daddy or mister.
I'm going to go with daddy.
Definitely daddy.
Come on in here, big daddy.
Right.
Yep, there it goes.
Yep.
(01:09:11):
Well, we didn't get here by magic.
Them Negroes had 15 kids.
They did.
Not our grandparents, but like them great grandparents.
Yeah.
That's what they trying to get back to today.
Women nowadays is like, girl, I would actually rather jump off a bridge.
(01:09:31):
Valid.
They trying to make it where you don't have no birth control, no job, and you ain't got
shit to do but stay at home and be pregnant.
Right.
Nothing to do but have babies.
Hi, friend.
Maybe this one in one.
We do two more, two more piece and then wrap it on up.
(01:09:53):
Okay.
All right.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Very Gordy.
1960s.
Oh, gosh.
It's been a while.
I'm going to go back to the
(01:10:15):
Oh, gosh, if okay, like black era, I can't say the other word though.
Just my imagination.
Do what?
What?
Okay.
Who was the label though?
(01:10:39):
For the blacks.
Is it a label that's still here currently?
I don't know.
Okay.
It's probably not who I was thinking.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Motown?
Yes.
Okay.
There we go.
There we go.
Is Motown still a thing?
(01:11:00):
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Okay.
All right.
Who would you rather have for a father?
Joe Jackson.
Goddamn.
But it's starting off wild as fuck.
(01:11:22):
It gets better.
Future.
Jesus.
Matthew Knowles.
Or Bill Cosby.
The last one just made me so sad.
I can't in any way support him anymore after knowing what that man did.
(01:11:50):
If I had to say honestly, Matthew.
Look what Matthew helped create.
I was just about to say that Joe Jackson and Matthew Knowles had the two biggest stars
in history.
History.
Under their belts.
Joe was a little bit, he was older, so he was definitely backhand.
(01:12:12):
Yeah.
PQ in the chest type of leadership.
So I would think I would take Matthew Knowles too.
Definitely Matthew.
Definitely Matthew.
Okay.
My last one.
Ooh, this is easy.
(01:12:32):
Okay, so we were talking about familiar, I can't say that word.
Okay.
We just did swag surf.
So it's another dance.
I think older, very popular at the barbecue.
(01:12:54):
Electric slide.
No.
Cupid shuffle.
No.
Fuck.
Come on, friend.
This is an easy one.
I'm trying to think of another word.
We do do.
We do.
There is a, oh my.
(01:13:14):
Very popular at the barbecue and it's not one of those two.
The person who just made, the person who made the song just recently passed away.
Oh God, cause you know this.
(01:13:50):
Beyonce.
Beyonce?
Remade it.
Listen to the beat.
And then they go.
I can't hum it.
(01:14:10):
Oh friend, you're going to be so mad at yourself.
Before I let you go.
God damn it.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Shit.
And she ate her version too.
She did.
(01:14:31):
Yeah.
That is a black staple at the barbecue.
Yeah.
Frankie Beverly recently passed.
He did.
That was late last year too.
Yeah.
Literally like maybe three months ago.
Okay.
Yeah.
You right.
Okay.
(01:14:51):
Last one.
This is real easy.
Last one, this is real easy too.
Okay.
What is Judge Mathis well known for calling people on his show?
I don't even think I have to list the options.
(01:15:11):
The fact he calls people crackheads on every single show.
He told one woman she smelled like crack.
I don't know.
He said he was a former crackhead so he knows what it smelled like.
He said I smell a little crack on you.
What does that mean?
That reminds me of that video, Frankie.
You remember that video of the person that was on the train and then the person started
(01:15:36):
doing crack next to him and they was like, I feel rabid.
It was like I didn't even hear all the smoking.
I feel rabid.
I can't imagine what inhaling crack smoke would make you feel like niggas.
The hug it gave me.
(01:15:57):
It never let me go.
Can you imagine feeling for some shit and you don't know what it is because you done
inhaled some shit you didn't know?
Listen.
Was crack smoke?
Speaking of crackheads.
You going through withdrawals and don't even know like.
Somebody said what if you were standing outside when Martin Luther King Boulevard, he was
sipping your drink and a crackhead just ran by and grabbed your lip and say, got your
(01:16:20):
mouth.
I don't know why that was so stupid.
That was the stupidest, funniest thing.
I was like, boy, this is internet is truly a dumb ass place.
Because you and I both know it's some shit a crackhead would do.
Absolutely.
At random.
Just because it's Wednesday evening at 9 47 p.m.
(01:16:42):
And you're standing there.
And run the fuck away.
And you just sit in their mouth just full of lip crack.
They got that crack under their nails.
They do.
Oh, I feel ravenous.
Bless her.
(01:17:03):
That's all I got this week for y'all.
What about you, Brandon?
You got anything else for them?
That is all I got for y'all.
Remember, just to just to protect your peace.
Stay aware, but don't over.
Don't be consumed.
You got it.
We're going to be all right.
(01:17:24):
We don't end up in the words of multi Grammy award winning Kendrick Lamar.
My nigga, we gonna be all right.
Hey, we gonna be all right.
We got it.
And Drake is indeed gone.
(01:17:46):
He is gone.
He's gone.
He is gone.
All right, y'all.
Peace.
Probably.
Hello everybody, my name is Atticus and my name is Hope and you are now watching the white refrigerator. Welcome back y'all.
(00:07):
The white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator, the white refrigerator.
Thank you guys so much for coming back where we're keeping you fresh in the world of myths.
(00:31):
And helping us feel better together because god knows we need it.
You ain't lying, it's been another long week of a lot of news, another week of overstimulation.
But I hope everybody's keeping trying to keep their shit together.
Speaking of that, I just want to say this. I saw something that said there's a difference between over consumption and being aware.
(00:56):
Y'all take this time to just be aware and be educated, but do not over consume because doom scrolling is a real thing and you get to breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, breaking news.
And we know right now the breaking news ain't great.
And this one motherfucker that he be having good news, but every time you see that motherfucker face breaking news, breaking news.
(01:17):
Aaron? You talking about Aaron the little white boy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm unfollowing you right now because every time I scroll past your face, breaking news, you know what, bitch block.
I know the news is breaking.
Anytime this motherfucker is in the conversation, the news is breaking.
When is it never not breaking? Get out of my face.
I'd follow him, but I just had to mute him because I'm like, I can't right now.
(01:45):
I just can't right now, right now.
I guess I've accepted the fact that I'm at this, you know what, friend, you said something a while back ago.
And I might consider that shit now, I don't do it here in Texas, but I only remember, I think I might run for some shit for him.
I mean, why not?
(02:06):
They need the millennials have to do it at this point.
Yeah, look who's in there.
If he if he can be president, any one of us can do anything, to be honest.
Speaking of that, I don't know if this is true or not, but it gagged me when I read it.
They said the president of Mexico said, why is Trump worried about sending the rapists and criminals back when the United States elected one?
(02:33):
I said she is a she's petty.
She is pretty. I didn't see one of her talking about call calling America, Mexican America,
since he won a call, the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Mexico.
Listen, maybe she turned them back around.
She said, don't you bring the folks back over here?
(02:54):
It's a lot of places turning them around.
Yeah, you will not send them here.
You know where they are. I did see a story where it was like they're releasing some of them now.
I guess you don't have the resources to love to hold them.
Luckily, there we go. We got to conversing. There's good in there.
Y'all look for the good. There's good in this somewhere.
(03:18):
We just got to find it. We got to focus on it.
And like I said, at this point, it's time to tear some shit up, y'all.
Stand up for yourself. Stand up for your friends. Stand up for your community. Stand up for your neighbors.
We are in this fight together and we are not going to what did Kamala say?
We are not going back. Period.
(03:39):
And if we don't stand up for people, then nobody else will.
And to be honest, at this point, I honestly feel like a lot of people are waking up to what's actually happened and what has happened.
So I feel like there's a lot more unity now than there was right before he took office.
So even though it's a lot of motherfuckers, it's still hateful.
But some of them are like, my chick.
(04:03):
What do you mean? I might not get my chick.
This is what we're trying to tell you.
The bad you made you lied in.
And the crazy thing is, you're a dumbass human, but you're a human nonetheless.
You're a hateful ass human, but you're a human nonetheless.
Now, I'm not going to say I'm not going to stoop to your level and I'm going to turn the other cheek because, bitch, I will light your motherfucking ass up.
(04:26):
And I want you to understand that I mean that from my black ass heart.
I hope you all seen that lip. That was the lip of destruction.
When you see somebody lip go up the side like that.
Because I meant that shit for real, for real.
What I need you to understand, though, is that I am still a human and I still have a heart.
And just because you're dumb as fuck doesn't mean that you doesn't mean that you're incapable of learning whatever ignorant ass ways made you do the stupid shit that you did like vote for a damn.
(04:57):
I just will never I blame the Democrats for this.
I'm going to have a quick tangent and then we're going to get back to it.
I blame you fucking Democrats for this because this man should have never, ever all the shit that he's doing right now.
You all mean to tell me you all don't have a backbone in you at all.
Or let's go back. He should have never, ever had the opportunity to be here again.
(05:20):
A convicted felon can't vote, but one can be the president.
Make that make sense. That was my whole gripe.
Like we had four years to make sure that this couldn't happen again.
He tried to overthrow the government.
He tried to throw a coup and then he didn't let these crazy motherfuckers back out.
It was crazy if there's certain Republicans who voted for him, who also are like, no, he shouldn't have did that.
(05:44):
Like somebody got to get a backbone or which all are about to find out is that America is a very spoiled ass country.
So if you don't give us what we want, eventually enough of us is going to turn and we're going to tear this shit up,
including some of the dummies that voted for him when they start losing their basic rights, because let me be very clear.
This is not just a black, a Hispanic, a queer thing, erasing people who have always existed and we will never stop existing.
(06:11):
This is also a major class issue.
And if you do not fit within a certain class, no matter what you look like, you will be affected by this.
This is true. Y'all are about to see all are about to see.
So either you don't join us or you're going to fall right in the pits of hell and suffer either way.
(06:31):
And let's give a give a shout out to the people that's on Tik Tok or YouTube bringing you news.
Pray for them because Aaron, the one that you mentioned before, I don't know if you've been seeing him lately,
but he looked like he ain't getting no sleep and I'm worried about him.
I mean, he looks stressed out. I'm just to take a nap. Take a couple of days off. It's going to be OK.
(06:53):
You know, he's from here. Is he? Mm hmm.
That's crazy. I didn't know that. Yeah.
But all this news ain't worth your life.
It's not. It's not. And again, you have to remember the media feeds you certain things in general.
Just knowing to pull back.
(07:16):
Like I said, you need to be aware, but knowing to pull back, knowing too much is too much
because you can't do shit on the outside if the inside is so up.
It don't work that way. So take care of you.
And then we can we can we can we can start knocking a few buck.
But first, we got to, you know, got to make sure that inside is is is Kumbaya.
(07:41):
Peace and love and Eric Abydu and that little bowl thing.
We got to make sure that's on the inside, but on the outside now enough is enough.
Come in the club, shake my dress, throw it like, you know, balance.
But anyways, how's your week been, friend?
(08:01):
My week has been pretty good. It's been pretty chill, actually.
Got out, got outside in some of this beautiful sunlight,
because it's been about 70 degrees here in the daytime, and it's actually been beautiful outside.
Go outside and get some nature. So I'm feeling pretty good.
I haven't like completely disconnected from social media yet.
(08:23):
Pretty much just TikTok and Blue Sky. But other than that, I've just kind of been chilling.
When it comes to music this week, mostly the same,
but there has been an addition and make sure I'm gay or name wrong.
Britney Spencer. So Britney Spencer came across my TikTok, singing her singing for her wife.
(08:48):
And she actually has a lot of music out that I didn't really know.
But she has an album called My Stupid Life Party that I almost missed.
And I think this is a deluxe from the other album.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful singer, beautiful album.
She has a song called Bigger Than the Song. I don't know if you've ever heard it.
(09:12):
Please, please, please, please go check it out.
I'm going to try my best to remember to put that in the caption,
because sometimes I'd be forgetting to put shit in the caption.
I apologize. We're doing my best.
But anyways, when it comes to TV, I've been watching an anime called The Seven Deadly Sins,
which actually has like four different series, it looks like, on Netflix.
(09:37):
Or I know a couple of movies and a couple of different series.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful anime, somewhat kind of a little bit perverted too, but.
In a good way, not crazy.
They do be somewhat nasty.
Hi, my name is Yokashima.
And it's got like 48 quadruple D titties.
(10:02):
She does. They all do.
I watched the movie before I started the series for whatever reason.
A girl was standing outside, and of course, she had on her short skirt, big ass titties, cleavage hanging out.
She walked out of the fucking house and they say, you know, his head is up on the skirt.
He's like, how you doing today?
I'm like, oh!
(10:26):
Face was just all up in it. I was like, OK.
Listen.
But that's the recurring theme of him being Johnny Bravo around the series.
Maybe Johnny Bravo was supposed to be on Me Too.
Johnny Bravo.
You know, Johnny Bravo was 17, though.
(10:46):
I thought he was older.
I swear to God, I read this somewhere recently, too, like in the last few months.
I think it went viral on TikTok.
They were talking about Johnny.
Johnny Bravo's actual age was like 17.
I was like, OK, all this shit is highly problematic at this point.
I just knew Johnny Bravo was 30 years old.
(11:08):
I thought so, too.
But no, that anime stuff, me and Naomi was talking about that one day.
Did you say the white people in the cartoon?
I didn't say nothing.
Let's go to the next.
How has your week been?
(11:31):
Friend, I don't know how that's possible, Lord, even though I'm so weak.
This week for me has been chill.
I know new music this week.
I kind of was revved up a little bit, like my nerves been a little stressed out.
(11:53):
And then finally, I was just like, you know what, fuck it.
I'm just going to be OK.
I'm going to feel OK, and I'm not going to let anything prevent me from feeling OK.
And that's just been the vibe.
And that's worked so far.
Sometimes you have to be the Lulu with yourself.
As far as TV goes, because no new music.
(12:16):
TV, I started watching Harlem again.
I forgot how much Megan Good's character, Camille, pisses me off.
I forgot how much that character actually pisses me off.
She is a lot irritating.
Not even a little bit.
She's a lot.
And then Quinn, I love Quinn down.
(12:37):
And I need y'all to give Quinn a fucking break.
Please.
This is the last season.
Give this girl some damn peace.
Ty is Ty.
I am enjoying Ty's art so far this season.
Listen, they gagged me last season with her wanting to start a relationship with the mom
(12:58):
and finding out that her jump off was her daughter.
I said, God, what's the shit to find out?
Listen, that might actually make me go straight.
How do you even exist?
I wouldn't talk to either one of them ever.
(13:19):
You can't.
You can't.
Oh, gosh.
I would have relocated.
Yeah.
I would have relocated.
Like, what do you do from there?
Like, oh.
Listen, New York is big.
Chicago is beautiful.
Houston's nice.
I'll just relocate to another big city.
Oh my God.
But yeah, Angie, actually, Angie's character.
(13:41):
I'm not sure how to feel about Angie's character this season.
She's normally-
You don't talk about Angie.
I love Angie down.
That's what I'm saying.
But it's like, I don't know.
And her new beau, I don't know, something.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's Mr. Swoop.
Whoever, whatever.
(14:05):
Be so fucking for real.
Yeah.
And I think that's his shit too.
I don't think this is a wig.
I think he took his afro and went, he looked like, what's the name?
It is-
I'm trying to remember it's a character.
It is a cartoon character that that shit reminds me of.
(14:26):
And I'm just like, beast.
Just you know what?
But yeah, something.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm just waiting.
So yeah.
But that and then Unrivaled.
Anybody on here who listens, who follows the WNBA knows this has been a hell of a week.
(14:48):
For us this last week, so many crazy ashtrays.
I don't even know what the hell is going on anymore.
I'm just like, they dismantled my whole team.
The whole Connecticut Sun Run.
That everybody keeps talking about.
I ain't talking about Luca.
That trade was actually insane.
(15:08):
I saw somebody, the funniest thing I seen was this girl was like on blue sky.
She said, explain this trade in girl terms.
They said, okay, imagine trading T-Boz for Beyonce.
I don't know why.
So who is T-Boz in the situation?
(15:29):
T-Boz is absolutely AD, Anthony Davis.
Absolutely.
When I tell you, he got his kneecaps made out of like the confetti paper.
This nigga spent the first half of his whole career injured.
Legs just sound like loose change.
(15:50):
He stayed injured.
Oh gosh.
Lord, I can't say nothing.
You might have seen him.
He's a tall like skinned dude, a brazen.
He's known for his unibrow.
I was about to say, listen, it's a tall people thing.
That's why they be injured all the time.
I guess so.
Them legs ain't strong enough and them ligaments be.
And Luca has been doing amazing in Dallas.
(16:11):
So it was just like, who the fuck?
What is this?
But no, the Connecticut Sun.
I started following the Connecticut Sun because of DeWanna Bonner, which is probably a shocker
for a lot of people because y'all know I'm an Alabama fan, Roll Todd.
But she played for Auburn and she was just a phenomenal player.
And I kind of just followed her career throughout her entire time playing.
(16:33):
And then she ended up with the Connecticut Suns.
But she's been doing really well there.
And then, of course, her fiance, A.T. is on the Sun.
It was great.
And then all of a sudden, they just, when I tell you they dismantled all of them now,
I'm not mad at Adesina Carrington and Alyssa because her and her girlfriend, they're here
(16:57):
now in Dallas.
I can go watch them play.
I'm not mad about that.
But they just sent everybody else everywhere.
I was like, God.
So just anyways, I say all that to say these trades have been crazy.
Speaking of that, though, what was so funny when they said it was like, send a Beyonce
to Destiny's Child trade.
(17:20):
In my mind, all I could hear was, it's so hard in times.
But the heartache lives on inside.
It's just
(17:53):
I don't think you do.
I got your dinner.
You deserve so much more.
Cater to you.
(18:18):
No!
That is so mean y'all, but Atticus knows this, I'm a huge TLC fan.
But I thought that shit was funny as hell.
I was like, bro.
I need somebody to do that on AI now.
I need somebody to make that on AI right now.
(18:39):
I am in love with you.
You set me free.
I can't do this thing.
(19:00):
I swear to God y'all, it was a few times I didn't know what the fuck was going on when she was singing.
I was like, what is...
Is she okay?
Love her. Love her down though. Love her down. Love her down.
But the truth gonna be the truth no matter who's telling it.
I was like, y'all are shit for saying this.
(19:21):
But yeah, that...
What?
My favorite would be imagining her singing, listen...
(19:42):
The song here in my heart.
Start doing the waterfalls.
Listen, the thing is when they made her voice work, her voice worked for her stuff.
It did.
(20:07):
Now on the other hand, can you imagine Beyonce singing some of those songs?
Can you imagine Beyonce in waterfalls?
She would have towed them songs up.
Do you hear me?
I can't do it. I want to do it so bad, but I can't.
Yeah, that's not an easy voice to replicate.
(20:28):
That was her yelling error though.
Because you remember she used to yell.
I love yelling Beyonce.
I love all Beyonce, Beyonce.
Love her down.
Speaking of that,
shout out to, first of all, what a Black Ass Grammys award.
(20:49):
My God today.
They finally got it right this time.
It's been only been how many awards? 50?
Plus, only took 50 something, but it finally got it right.
I mean, I just love the fact that everybody came together.
It was powerful.
Everybody was in unison.
(21:10):
A minor.
Do you know?
They're doing they little white girl things.
I don't know why they be flying away.
(21:31):
They do be like, girl, what the hell are you doing?
It's like being on ecstasy every time.
Do you know I would have had to actually relocate like whole continents?
I just watched all my peers.
Beyonce was trying to keep it cute, but she was over there.
(22:00):
She was really good at it.
Quite literally laughed in your face.
This is for anybody.
And I say Atticus, what was that? A tweet or something?
I had screenshot it.
Blue sky.
Yeah.
I was just like, for anybody who thinks that Drake lost or that people are just attacking Drake, it's time to let it go.
(22:29):
It's time to let it go.
Nobody's attacking you.
You did lose.
You did lose.
But nobody's attacking you.
Like it's it's it's and you did this to yourself.
Because he said we can run the friendly fade and then you wanted to talk about him beating Whitney upside head and how his kid wasn't his kid.
And he was like, OK, cool.
(22:50):
This is what ego does.
Pride go before the falling.
God damn, was that a fall?
Every single damn time.
Fell off the Eiffel Tower.
I just I don't know.
I just imagine I just I just imagine that he just sat there.
(23:11):
And the funniest thing is that Kendrick also did this in a Canadian tuxedo, which made it even funnier.
He was in all denim.
I was like, he wants you to know that he's going to step on your neck for the rest of your fucking life.
I don't know if anybody's seen it yet, but I do want you to go look.
You know, he's on tour in Australia.
I think it just started.
He came out on tour with his with a hoodie with bullet holes in it and smoke coming out the back of the hoodie.
(23:41):
I guess to represent that he had been he had been smoked, which would be correct, because he had been smoked.
But I don't I don't I don't know.
I thought it was like a bit much like it ain't that serious.
It's not that well, I guess it kind of is.
But I mean, not really at your own detriment, like you do.
(24:03):
You did this.
You did this.
I just let's see.
We'll see what 2025 has in store for your boy.
Maybe I don't know.
Maybe maybe some luck will pick back up for him.
But honestly, think he's too big to fail like in the very same way that people like.
(24:25):
Like Nicki Minaj have their their core, their super core family that no matter what they do, they're going to be there to support you.
I think he has that.
So he's going to be successful, I feel like, regardless.
Agree. But it won't be the same.
You don't have the.
You know what he's used to.
Yeah.
Also, so I mentioned that the Grammys was like super black this year, which I loved.
(24:50):
Love, love, love, love, love.
So shout out to Samara Joy to take the bangers to Rhapsody to Kendrick.
There was a few others.
I'm sorry.
She told you I did not forget.
I was going to say, don't she don't she and Beyonce were my highlights.
I knew I love Kendrick down.
(25:12):
Y'all know I'm Kendrick bias, but I knew Kendrick was going to get some Grammys.
I knew it.
Not like this was too big of a track.
Yeah, it was just too big of a track for it not to happen.
I was surprised that he swept though.
He said, OK, but I'm taking all of many did.
But Beyonce finally getting her crown.
She didn't need it from y'all anyways, because Beyonce is Beyonce.
(25:33):
But the true recognition for the at least I would say in my personal opinion, I love all of her body to work with her last three for absolute certain, certain war album of the years.
Lemonade, Coward Carter, Renaissance.
I don't think there's a question in mind.
You maybe you can argue some of the old ones.
Those last three.
(25:54):
Absolutely not.
I would even go as far as saying that Lion King album.
I don't I don't know how everybody feels about that album.
The Lion King album was a great ass album album of the year.
Maybe not, but I feel like it was definitely Grammy worthy.
That was a great ass body of work.
Also, can we talk about her face when they called her name for the country album?
(26:15):
Because you could tell she was fully invested in the conversation, like paying attention.
Beyonce's like.
Friend country.
Me.
You already know how my petty black heart feels because I text you as soon as it happened.
I shout out to all the country stars who wanted to jump out the window as soon as they called her name.
(26:42):
And they put the camera right on them, too.
Because I know I know you all was it.
You all thought you all was doing something by not inviting her to the CMAs or not nominating her for anything.
And then had the nerve to tell a black woman from Texas, which is crazy to me that she didn't know country.
Baby, this is where this is where it happened.
(27:05):
But said I wouldn't settle up.
Well, now look.
And on top of that country.
Tell me what a listen now that I told you, I think Cowboy Carter Renaissance is a I can tell you my top three.
I can easily take my top three now.
(27:26):
And this is crazy because forever I thought nothing was going to debunk for for MBDA was like two of my and they still are two of my favorite albums of all time.
But Cowboy Carter Renaissance and Lemonade, they hit me real different.
They hit me real different.
Like.
The albums, they got me in like that is my Beyonce Trinity, followed closely by B day for and of course, her self-titled album.
(27:56):
The album was good as hell.
I'm not ready to give my Trinity.
I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not ready yet.
I'm not ready yet.
It's all right.
I listen.
Oh, Cowboy Carter had me in a bad choke hold.
I missed the Renaissance tour.
I swear to God, I will not miss this one.
I will not I don't give a fuck if I got a job.
(28:20):
I ain't flying right now.
Sidebar to all those who lost people.
I truly apologize.
That is terrible, terrible thing to have happened to our dumbass administration to bring DI up when people are.
I after I seen that little statement, I was like, wow, America's actually garbage.
We are.
(28:43):
Yes, condolences to everybody because that's that's tough.
And then to see it be publicized like this is crazy.
I can't imagine what that feels like.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Just shout out to every.
Don't she first of all, don't you I want you to know you have my heart in real time, girl.
(29:04):
Let me tell you something.
Ever since and Eddie knows this ever since I heard persuasive, I was stuck.
I was persuasive.
I think she ended up being what she might spot a five top five that year because yeah, like that.
I was the and after that, I just been a doji stand ever since when I listen to her old stuff.
We went to the beach one time, I think they was with us and she came up in May's because you remember,
(29:31):
they was playing this music.
She came up in May's music and I was like, what's this?
That had to be no 1920.
Maybe I don't remember exactly.
Got to be 19.
I think it might have been 19.
Yeah.
But I was like, who is this?
And look at look at her now.
Thrive it.
Thrive it.
(29:53):
She's so black with it too.
Yes.
Unapologetically so.
Just like she should be.
Just the things.
Doshi, I want you to get everything.
I want you to get everything that you deserve tenfold because you deserve it.
You deserve everything from your next lifetime already, Queen.
I hope you get it all.
Oh, it's up from here.
She know it.
(30:15):
It's up from here.
I just I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
And for that to be was that rap album of the year?
That is crazy.
Off a mixtape.
Off of a mixtape.
That is crazy.
And it was worth it.
(30:36):
100% deserved it.
I ain't going to sit here and lie and say I heard every album that was in that category.
I think I did.
But I mean, it was some decent.
It's been actually I think we talked about this last year, but 2024 was a great year for rap.
It was a great year for rap.
(30:58):
I have no complaints.
I will say this.
The West Coast held it down and then the ladies in the South held it down.
Megan dropped to well, basically was like a disc one, disc two type of situation.
These two had me in a chokehold.
A chokehold real bad.
(31:19):
Chokehold.
Glow dropped two albums.
Glow after literally after Dochi.
Glow was my favorite rapper last year after Dochi.
Glow's albums gave me the things and I'm a Megan Stan.
So that says a lot.
But like and then Lato did her thing.
Like the rap girlies in the South held it down.
(31:40):
And in the West Coast, you have Vince Staples.
You had my favorite personally favorite album last year.
Blue Lifts by Schoolboy Q.
Fucking amazing.
Kendrick.
We already know what Tom G and X was on.
It just it was Tyler the Creator.
It was so much good music.
(32:01):
I have no complaints.
I have no complaints.
No complaints.
I do. I have one thing I want to say because I remember a few years back it was all about we need more women rappers so they can have their own category.
I think there's enough now to have their own category.
One thousand.
And I think enough released music last year for them to have like their own category now because say you had Lato, Megan, Flo Milli, L'Oreal, Dochi.
(32:32):
Who's that?
Monolio released the album last year I believe too.
I think so.
And yeah so when it comes to the girls I listen to them.
I don't know nothing else that's happening but I listen to all the girls music.
Speaking of the girls.
Y'all stop playing in my baby baby Tate's face.
Give her her fucking things.
(32:54):
I think it was like an EP but yes.
It was still good.
Great as fuck.
Yeah.
She's the bad body of work ever at all.
Period.
So give baby Tate her things.
All of them.
Yes.
All of them.
And she's funny as fuck.
Like she has a great personality.
I just so much so much black excellence.
(33:15):
Alicia Keys put on some makeup.
I do a series because she don't ever put on.
Put on some makeup came out there.
Queen Latifah came out there like the super stud she is.
Listen.
I was like oh yes.
Yes but the unison A minor.
(33:43):
Taylor Swift totally hell up.
I know she was totally hell up.
It was a.
It was a great song.
What it must feel like to be one of the most like.
So if you're in that field with them.
(34:04):
Some of them of course want to be respectful.
I don't want to be doing too much because you know they going to see this.
But what it must be like to be one of the most powerful people in music.
I would dare say Taylor Swift is probably the most.
Yeah.
I would think so.
I don't give a fuck.
I would think so.
(34:25):
What you gonna do bitch.
The fact that.
Taylor Swift.
The funniest thing is like OK so we all know that Taylor and Kendrick collabed before but like she is a genuine Kendrick stan.
So it's just like oh my god this is.
And then.
Oh that's right Drake did bring her name up because he was like if I was Taylor Swift.
Y'all wouldn't do me like this.
Taylor Swift probably wouldn't be in a band with Kendrick.
(34:48):
She also wouldn't put herself in that situation that you put yourself in.
I just.
A few times.
Well there's that.
So I just know that the boogie man is sitting at Kendrick.
Not Kendrick but Drake's bed every night laughing in his face.
Laughing in his face.
It's just.
(35:09):
It's a.
It is actually.
It's time to let this beef go on Drake's side.
Kendrick is going to drag this out.
That's a Gemini.
He's going to drag this out forever.
Until it's not fun for him anymore.
Yeah exactly.
But it's just like Drake just time for you to focus on this party next door album.
Whatever that's going to be.
(35:31):
I feel like also that's no disrespect to party next door.
But what it must be like to like sit in bed and regret a decision you made almost a year
ago now because it has affected you that much.
When you could have been like damn.
I really had the option not to say anything at all.
(35:55):
I didn't.
I'm just saying.
Tell me what it sounds like.
Oh God.
Oh God.
That's probably what it sounds like to in his head after you get high.
Get high off shrooms.
(36:17):
I'm just saying.
Stupid, stupid Drake.
Stupid Drake.
Stupid, stupid Drake.
He's devastated right now.
He's.
He's.
Yeah.
Poor kid.
Oh gosh.
But anyway.
On to true black excellence.
Shout out to everybody at the Grammys.
(36:41):
Shout out to Beyonce for finally getting the album of the year.
She deserved.
Cowboy Carter is so damn good.
It is so damn good.
Yes.
But yeah.
Shout out to all the black excellence.
I love to see it.
We're going to start black history off right.
And then we are about to continue into our.
The next one.
(37:05):
What do you want to call it friend? I don't know what to call it.
Exposing black excellence.
Let's say that.
Cause some of these people hadn't heard of before.
Actually.
I haven't really heard a lot of these people.
I haven't heard of it.
Other than like.
The first one, my first one actually surprised me.
Cause you know, I worked with eyes.
For nine years.
(37:26):
I was like, I'm going to be a black.
I'm going to be a black.
All right.
So it's time to dive into our exposed and black.
Excellent segment.
Y'all.
Again, same concept as last time we're going to be doing this all month
long.
Showing you people that you did not really know about.
(37:48):
Like I said, we get taught about the same people all the time.
It's time to learn about.
Some different folks because black history is American history.
Black history is the history of black history.
Black history is the history of Black history.
Like,
That's what I'm saying.
Even though there were a lot of captives said, we are,
we are so much more remember slavery is white history,
not black history.
How we overcame it is black history.
(38:10):
So there you go.
We're going to start out with Mr.
George Carothers.
George Carothers was a renowned African-American physicist and
inventor whose innovations significantly advanced space
Born October 1st, Team Libra in 1939 in Cincinnati, Ohio, he demonstrated an early aptitude in
(38:35):
science building his own telescope at the age of 10, which is crazy.
After earning a PhD in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from the University of Illinois,
Carruthers joined the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.
There, he invented the FAR Ultraviolet Camera Spectrograph, which became the first moon-based
(38:56):
observatory during the Apollo 16 mission in 1972.
This device allows scientists to capture ultraviolet images of Earth and space, revealing valuable
information about Earth's atmosphere and the presence of molecular hydrogen in interstellar
space, a critical element in understanding the universe's composition.
Carruthers' invention laid the foundation for modern astrophysical research and space
(39:20):
exploration, influencing subsequent missions like Skylab and the Space Shuttle.
His efforts also extended beyond research as he inspired future generations through
programs like the Space and Engineers Apprentice Program, teaching roles at Howard University.
(39:42):
In recognition of his contributions, he received prestigious accolades, including NASA's Exceptional
Science Scientific Achievement Medal and the National Medal of Technology and Innovation
in 2013.
Carruthers' legacy endures as a symbol of scientific curiosity and dedication to innovation.
Amazing.
Did you say built a telescope at the age of 10?
(40:04):
At the age of 10.
At the age of 10.
That is insanity.
What?
Love is in the air.
Love is in the air.
Girl.
Damn.
Okay.
Again, people that I did not know existed or knew what they had accomplished.
That's crazy.
All right.
So my first one today is Ms. Patricia Bath.
(40:29):
Patricia Bath was a pioneering American ophthalmologist and humanitarian.
Born in New York City, she made significant contributions to the field of ophthalmology.
If you didn't know, that's just the study of eye disease and was a trailblazer for women
and African Americans in medicine.
(40:49):
Bath was the first African American woman to complete a residency in ophthalmology at
New York University and the first woman to chair an ophthalmology residency program in
the United States.
Work.
Yes.
She received a bachelor's degree from Hunter College in 1964, a medical degree from Howard
University in 1968, graduating with honors.
(41:13):
Now I would like to say this too.
Like I just told y'all, I worked in ophthalmology for like nine years.
I didn't meet not one black woman ophthalmologist.
There were a couple of optometrists, but no ophthalmologist.
And like reading about her just brought that up to me.
(41:34):
It was like, damn, I really didn't see it any.
But okay, onto the reason she's so important, my bad.
At Harlem Hospital, Dr. Bath discovered that black patients were twice as likely to be
blind while white patients at Columbia University were not.
She observed that it was inadequate eye care in minority communities that caused an increase
(41:56):
in blindness.
This made her start the first community eye care clinic, which has been copied worldwide.
In 1976, she founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness.
As the founder, Dr. Bath went to many countries to teach, speak, give equipment, do surgeries
and study the medicine of other countries.
(42:18):
She developed a new surgical process in the field of ophthalmology because of her work
with lasers.
In 1981, she started developing the laser vagal probe, a device that uses lasers to
penetrate and destroy cataracts.
After removal of the cataract, a surgeon will replace the lens of the eye.
(42:39):
The disadvantage of other cataract treatments is that a good surgeon can't make a perfect
cut on the eye like a laser can.
By inventing the laser vagal probe, she made cataract surgery safer because the laser doesn't
harm surrounding tissue.
The laser vagal probe combines laser and ultrasound energy transmitted by a flexible line, which
(43:00):
includes an optical fiber delivery system and an irrigation sleeve through an incision
of the eye surface, preferably less than one millimeter.
The irrigation around the fiber tip helps to reduce heat loss.
The optical fiber efficiency delivers units of energy to the lens through the incision
of the eye.
(43:20):
It is a less painful and more efficient way for cataract treatments, and it's still used
to this day.
I had no idea a black person was responsible for that.
At all.
That craziness.
That is actually absolutely amazing.
But yes, she was doing her thing.
(43:42):
Look at a young Patricia.
Patricia, you was kind of, I'm so sorry.
Oh, shit.
Up your heart.
Patricia, you're a little fine.
Save these eyeballs.
Y'all see me in contact.
Atticus knows I wear glasses.
Baby, you're so cute.
(44:04):
You should put them on.
Maybe I will next episode, but y'all, your girl is actually blonde.
I'm talking about blonde as a bat.
All right.
So my next gentleman is Elmer Samuel Imes.
Born in 1883, he passed in 1941.
(44:24):
He was a groundbreaking African American physicist and the second African American to earn a
PhD in physics, which he obtained from the University of Michigan in 1918.
Imes' work revolutionized the field of molecular physics through the pioneering use of infrared
spectroscopy to study molecular structures.
(44:45):
His research provided critical experimental evidence supporting quantum theory, which
is super cool to me, by the way, and offer the first accurate measurements of atomic
— actually insane — atomic distances and molecules.
This work played a significant role in validating the emerging field of quantum mechanics and
(45:05):
is widely cited in the scientific literature.
After earning his doctorate, Imes worked as a research physicist and engineer obtaining
four patents for his innovations.
He later returned to Fisk University in 1929 where he established a physics program that
inspired generations of students.
Despite his significant contributions to science, of course, Imes faced racial barriers that
(45:29):
limited his recognition for his work during his lifetime, particularly in the United States,
because of course.
However, his legacy endures as a pivotal figure who bridged the fields of physics and engineering
paving the way for future African American sciences.
I hate how some of these stories end that way.
(45:49):
You didn't get the recognition you deserved because you were dark, even though you were
helping everybody.
Right.
Now, don't talk about Mi'ala.
I had to double check to make sure she wasn't a white woman because she was —
I thought she was a white man.
I'm so sorry.
Listen.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm so sorry.
Okay.
(46:13):
Wait.
Okay.
Okay.
So, this — yes, Ms. Trotchbell, sir.
Oh, no.
(46:39):
Oh, that's trouble.
So this is Maggie Lena Walker.
Maggie was a trailblazer African American businesswoman and civic leader.
Born in Richmond, Virginia, she became the first African American woman to charter a
(46:59):
bank in the United States.
In 1903, she founded the St. Luke Penny Saving Bank, which provided financial services to
the African American community and supported economic independence.
By 1920, it had financed 645 African American homes in the Richmond area.
Her, she was also involved in several organizations, including the Independent Order of St. Luke.
(47:24):
This organization played a crucial role in providing aid to African Americans who were
civic, poor, or elderly.
Under Walker's leadership, it expanded its membership to over 20 states in the District
of Columbia.
The National Association of Colored Women, the National Urban League, and the National
Negro Business League are other organizations she was a part of.
(47:47):
She was a strong advocate for civil rights and worked tirelessly to improve the lives
of African Americans.
Her restored home in Richmond's historic Jackson Ward neighborhood is now a historic
landmark operated by the National Park Service.
I thought she was pretty cool, especially actually being able to like own a bank.
(48:10):
That's crazy.
Especially back then.
That is amazing.
That is amazing.
All right, guys.
So my last one is Mr. Michael Croslin.
Michael Croslin is an inventor and biomedical engineer whose contributions have significantly
impacted modern healthcare.
He is best known for developing a computerized device that monitors blood pressure and pulse,
(48:31):
which revolutionized non-invasive patient care and vital sign monitoring.
This innovation allowed for more accurate and efficient measurements, which is now the
standard in medical practices globally.
Croslin's work laid the foundation for advancements in health technology, influencing the design
of modern patient monitoring systems and improving outcomes in critical and routine care settings.
(48:55):
Beyond his technical contributions, Croslin's achievements highlight the importance of innovation
in biomedical engineering.
His work remains a testament to the role African Americans have, I'm sorry, African American
inventors have played in shaping the healthcare industry, which just Atticus did one.
I just did.
So like there, it's a bunch of them.
(49:17):
My next one is one, too.
Same, same.
Demonstrating the transformative power of technology in improving medical care and patient
experiences.
Y'all, yeah, stuff you use today.
Stuff you use today.
Who's getting your blood pressure checked every day?
(49:37):
Right.
Every time you go to the doctor.
Okay.
So the next one is Mr. Dr. Charles Drew.
So Drew's research focused on blood transfusions and the preservation of blood plasma.
He discovered that plasma could be separated and stored for longer periods, which was crucial
(50:02):
for blood transfusions.
During World War II, I see I couldn't even talk, World War II, Drew was recruited to
be the medical director of the Blood of Britain Project, which aimed to collect and ship plasma
to Britain for use in treating wounded soldiers.
The project was highly successful, collecting over 14,500 blood donations and shipping 5,000
(50:26):
liters of plasma.
Drew's work laid the foundation for modern blood banking techniques and the establishment
of large scale blood banks.
Drew became the first African American to earn a doctor of science in surgery from Columbia
University and he was appointed as the medical director of the American Red Cross Blood Bank.
(50:48):
However, yeah.
However, he resigned from this position in protest of the Red Cross's policy of segregating
blood donations by race.
Dr. Charles Drew legacy is a testament to his dedication to improving medical practices
and commitment to fighting racial discrimination in healthcare.
(51:10):
His pioneering work has left a wonderful mark on the field of medicine.
Despite his crucial role in blood transfusions during the World War II, he faced racial discrimination
and was not fully acknowledged for his contributions during his lifetime, which is unfortunate.
They did so much great stuff.
(51:31):
That looks like a white man.
It does look like a white man.
The fact that he looks like that and y'all still discriminating against him is crazy.
Crazy.
And Lord, y'all, I was looking to make sure, because both him and Maggie, they looked like
Caucasian people.
(51:52):
And I just wanted to make sure I had it right before I came up here, but they were African
American.
That is.
But you know, back then, if you was a little bit darker, you know, and we all, we all know
how.
That one drop rule.
Yeah.
While there are so many, we know why there were so many lighter skinned.
(52:15):
We do.
Black people back then.
So shout out to all of these people.
They did amazing, amazing, amazing things and things that still impact us today.
Again, I reiterate, black history is American history.
Shout out this world history.
Shout out to all the people who made significant differences in how we operate and how we live
(52:39):
today.
And I can't really say much more.
That is like excellence at its finest.
Sure is.
It's crazy.
And just just appreciation.
We appreciate them.
Yes.
For everything they done that we don't know about.
(53:00):
And everybody else that's been contributed something that we don't know about and take
for granted.
And the sacrifices like if you, especially the last two stories, unfortunately, the one
that I read and then the one you followed up, they, they both had a very similar ending.
And it's just like, there's no telling what they actually had to face behind the scenes.
Everybody, what's that movie?
(53:24):
Hidden Figures and that scene where Taraji, like that one main scene that everybody talks
about where she just, you know, I work like a doll and like just like how significant
they were to that mission.
And like how they were nothing more than another colored person, which is it's insane.
(53:47):
Black people celebrate yourself, celebrate yourself every single day.
We are amazing.
We've been amazing.
We will continue to be amazing.
Love yourself down because we deserve it.
We do.
Now onto the foolishness, the games and things.
So this is, this is another one of those majority rules.
(54:12):
So there's not really a wrong answer.
I just want to see what you're going to say.
Okay.
So what something of what is something a visitor to your house, but not do without permission.
Go in your refrigerator.
Refrigerator.
That is a black staple rule.
(54:38):
You in my kitchen.
There were a few that's, that's the exact same one.
I was going to pick B lay in your bed, C put their feet on your table and D shit in your
bathroom.
Listen, if you gotta go, you gotta go.
I don't give a damn about you taking no shit.
If you gotta go, you gotta go.
(54:58):
Don't you don't shit on yourself.
And I don't want you to experience that.
Don't shit on yourself on my floor.
God damn it.
Right.
That wasn't go to, go to the bathroom.
It was either a or B for me because don't, don't lay in my bed.
(55:19):
Why would you lay in?
Well, I feel like in black families, but this is different because you said that's like
a stranger or something like, yeah.
Black families, you'd be at the barbecue and it'd be some little two year old toddler
just stretched out in anybody's bed.
That's true anyway.
Is this in a fucking table chair?
(55:41):
Sleep.
I'm a hard sleep.
Yeah.
Oh, the baby's neck up.
The baby ain't got no support.
Put a pillow on the, why did that?
Yeah, friend.
I knew that that is a black ass question and I knew that black ass answer.
I wish you would.
Strangers come in my house to start drinking my juice.
(56:03):
What is one thing they better not do if they get in your car?
I think you already know my answer.
Probably smoke.
Well, I have two.
Smoking is one.
The other one is don't fuck with my music.
So yeah, I was going to say, I think mine is like, don't come in messing with my radio.
(56:23):
Don't touch my music.
Like me and you, we have a shared playlist.
This is true.
So we already know how that goes.
Don't you come in here hitting nicks, bitch, I'll hit you upside the head.
Yeah.
I was going to say, I, but I listen to so much variety.
I don't know.
That might not bother me so bad.
I think the smoking thing would bother me more because I don't smoke anymore.
(56:48):
I don't smoke cigarettes anymore.
But like, I, yeah, like.
And that shit lingers.
Yeah.
That's the nastiest, stalest, which people who smoke you might, you probably don't smell
it the same way, but it's irritating.
(57:11):
This is irritating, lingering ass smell.
All right.
Look away.
This is mine, y'all.
All right.
So.
Let me see.
So I can't say that.
Oh, I know what easy one.
(57:32):
Salt or sugar.
Condiments?
No.
Pepper?
No.
This is a great debate in the black community.
Grits.
Grits.
Grits.
So I say both.
(57:55):
I like to put salt in them, but I also put like jelly in it too, like.
Okay.
Okay.
Great jelly.
So that's different.
That's a little different.
Like you mixing stuff up together.
True.
But to put sugar, I don't want no porridge or oatmeal.
If I want that, then that's what I'm going to eat.
So people actually put like straight sugar in it.
Is that the debate?
Straight white sugar.
(58:15):
Oh.
You know what?
That's interesting.
I tried to see.
I like, I like, I don't even, ooh, y'all can take my black art for this.
I'm not the biggest fan of grits.
I will eat them.
But to just like, you know, grit, to eat a grit.
(58:36):
I bought grits from Sam's.
Tell me why I still got, it was a pack of four.
I got three and three quarters big ass bags of grits still in that pantry.
All right.
All right.
So this one, which of these artists would you want to sing at your funeral?
Jill Scott, Letticee, Fantasia or Kiki Wyatt?
(59:07):
I would come up out of the grave if I heard she's dead.
So Kiki Wyatt is out of here.
(59:29):
She's off the list.
Really from Philly, I, you know, I love Jill Scott down, down, down, down.
I don't think, I don't think that would be her thing.
So this is going to sound crazy, but when I think of Jill Scott, my eyes just crossed.
(59:51):
I don't know what the hell happened there.
When I think of Jill Scott, I think of like life.
Does that sound crazy?
Like no, it doesn't.
Like she doesn't get a funeral.
She doesn't get a funeral.
I think she's going to end up picking the same person.
Letticee also love Letticee down.
(01:00:12):
It would be between Letticee and Fantasia, but I'm going to tell you why Fantasia would
win.
Okay.
Because Fantasia would give me a good homecoming.
Do you hear my fumes?
Yes, she would.
Black folk call it fume.
My fumes, she would be in there, people be in there shouting, you know, my family already
religious.
So they think I was going to heaven.
I'm right in hell dancing with Satan.
I'm coming in, I'm just in there.
(01:00:35):
But Fantasia, they kicked off her shoes, she in there crying.
When I see you.
Yeah, when I see you again.
They're going to have to walk her off.
She's more sad than the people at the funeral.
(01:00:57):
Right.
You don't even know me.
I think I think I got to go with my girl Fantasia on that.
All right.
So I'm going to let y'all guess too.
I ain't going to show y'all nothing.
All right.
Oh, oh, this is going to be a tough one.
Actually no, it's not because I immediately know because I'm not shit.
(01:01:23):
Your arm.
Big mama your arm.
It's old food.
It ain't old food.
But what's the first thing you said?
Big mama.
Big mama's house.
Big mama.
Oh, just big mama.
Big mama.
I could have said lotto too.
(01:01:44):
You sure could have.
But when they call me big.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is another one that could go all sorts of ways.
You open your grandma's refrigerator and see a small grocery bag tied in a knot.
What's in it?
A leftovers.
(01:02:07):
B old teas and flour.
C sauce packets.
D salmonella.
I can tell you is absolutely D. The correct answer is D. The correct answer is D. But
it's going to be old flour.
Yes.
It's going to be D. Make sure you cook it good.
(01:02:31):
It's the old flour.
It's going to be old flour.
You're like grandma, you already put raw chicken.
That's good.
That's a lot.
And she going to tell you to shut the fuck up while she take her whole bare hand, dip
that chicken in that flour and place it down in the grease.
And you just sitting there.
(01:02:53):
You be like, don't grandma, please.
It's a hot.
It ain't hot shit.
Okay.
I'm gonna make y'all guess this one too.
This probably actually isn't fair though, because I know what to say to this.
(01:03:14):
But this would be something that only me and Addie would know.
We were supposed to go here in 2020.
Essence?
Essence.
We were definitely supposed to go to Essence.
Essence what?
Essence Fist.
Work.
Yep.
Damn.
We damn sure were.
I wonder if they're going to have it again this year.
(01:03:38):
Well, sure they are.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Isn't that usually like June?
June, July?
Yeah.
Okay.
I think it's like normally around Independence Day.
And it's going to be hot in the motor park outside in Louisiana.
We got it.
Everybody will be naked and pond, so it's worth it.
I was about to say it might be a good time.
(01:04:00):
Let's see.
Who is most liable to lie about wasting your time?
A, a pastor.
B, your supervisor.
C, a Negro.
Or D, a new boo.
A Negro and a new boo.
(01:04:22):
I think I'm going to go all of the above.
I would definitely say a new boo.
Definitely lying about wasting your time.
Or maybe not intentionally at first.
(01:04:43):
But definitely a new boo.
But definitely a Negro.
Especially, you all know something that made me mad.
I don't be getting hangry.
Like I really don't get hangry, but I get pissed off.
Like if I'm waiting for somebody to go eat and the motherfucker's late.
(01:05:03):
Like we supposed to be here eating and I can't order because you ain't here, bitch.
Yeah, because now I feel like you holding stuff up.
Now we going to leave late.
We didn't.
That would be my problem.
I don't want to leave.
I don't want to.
I want to be in my bed at a certain time.
I'm at the age now where I want to be in my bed in my house at a certain time.
(01:05:27):
That's the thing about Houston though is shit to do all the time.
Always like you can go out at midnight and not come home until the next day.
That's how crazy it is here.
The problem is I'm not built like that no more.
One o'clock is pushing it.
I'm like I could actually be at home watching YouTube and still be wide awake, but in my
(01:05:48):
bed happy.
That part.
I'm also past that age.
I'm not going to do no shit with you last minute.
You should have told me about this two days ago so I could prepare myself.
I need rest time before I get.
I got to take a nap now before I go out, bitch.
(01:06:09):
Very popular in the 2000s in Atlanta.
People still do it today.
Is it a dance?
Can't say dance, so it is a dance.
(01:06:36):
You typically see this at a gathering of black people.
Fuck.
The electric slide.
Same family of things.
The Cupid shuffle.
Same family of things.
You're getting closer.
God damn.
It came out in the 2000s.
(01:06:57):
It came out in the 2000s.
Came out in that trap era.
Shoulder lean.
Okay, so now you're definitely in the family.
Much hotter.
You.
No, because we don't do that no more.
(01:07:18):
It's something we still do.
God damn, I'm about to be wrong.
Hold on.
Give me just a little bit longer.
Shoulder lean, two-stepping.
No, no.
No, I don't know.
(01:07:38):
What is it?
Swag, sir.
Man, I got to.
God damn.
Yeah.
Damn.
We still swag, sir, friend.
Wow.
I'm swagging, sir.
And watch me surfing this way.
I'm all.
Yep.
Damn it.
It's all right.
Yeah, no, I would not have guessed that one.
(01:08:00):
I would not have guessed that.
Okay.
What name do you think your grandmother called your granddaddy in the bedroom back in the
day?
Daddy, Long John, baby, or mister?
(01:08:21):
Oh, Long John.
Oh, God.
Little No.
Oh, God.
(01:08:50):
So I know it's either daddy or mister.
I'm going to go with daddy.
Definitely daddy.
Come on in here, big daddy.
Right.
Yep, there it goes.
Yep.
(01:09:11):
Well, we didn't get here by magic.
Them Negroes had 15 kids.
They did.
Not our grandparents, but like them great grandparents.
Yeah.
That's what they trying to get back to today.
Women nowadays is like, girl, I would actually rather jump off a bridge.
(01:09:31):
Valid.
They trying to make it where you don't have no birth control, no job, and you ain't got
shit to do but stay at home and be pregnant.
Right.
Nothing to do but have babies.
Hi, friend.
Maybe this one in one.
We do two more, two more piece and then wrap it on up.
(01:09:53):
Okay.
All right.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Very Gordy.
1960s.
Oh, gosh.
It's been a while.
I'm going to go back to the
(01:10:15):
Oh, gosh, if okay, like black era, I can't say the other word though.
Just my imagination.
Do what?
What?
Okay.
Who was the label though?
(01:10:39):
For the blacks.
Is it a label that's still here currently?
I don't know.
Okay.
It's probably not who I was thinking.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Motown?
Yes.
Okay.
There we go.
There we go.
Is Motown still a thing?
(01:11:00):
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Okay.
All right.
Who would you rather have for a father?
Joe Jackson.
Goddamn.
But it's starting off wild as fuck.
(01:11:22):
It gets better.
Future.
Jesus.
Matthew Knowles.
Or Bill Cosby.
The last one just made me so sad.
I can't in any way support him anymore after knowing what that man did.
(01:11:50):
If I had to say honestly, Matthew.
Look what Matthew helped create.
I was just about to say that Joe Jackson and Matthew Knowles had the two biggest stars
in history.
History.
Under their belts.
Joe was a little bit, he was older, so he was definitely backhand.
(01:12:12):
Yeah.
PQ in the chest type of leadership.
So I would think I would take Matthew Knowles too.
Definitely Matthew.
Definitely Matthew.
Okay.
My last one.
Ooh, this is easy.
(01:12:32):
Okay, so we were talking about familiar, I can't say that word.
Okay.
We just did swag surf.
So it's another dance.
I think older, very popular at the barbecue.
(01:12:54):
Electric slide.
No.
Cupid shuffle.
No.
Fuck.
Come on, friend.
This is an easy one.
I'm trying to think of another word.
We do do.
We do.
There is a, oh my.
(01:13:14):
Very popular at the barbecue and it's not one of those two.
The person who just made, the person who made the song just recently passed away.
Oh God, cause you know this.
(01:13:50):
Beyonce.
Beyonce?
Remade it.
Listen to the beat.
And then they go.
I can't hum it.
(01:14:10):
Oh friend, you're going to be so mad at yourself.
Before I let you go.
God damn it.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Shit.
And she ate her version too.
She did.
(01:14:31):
Yeah.
That is a black staple at the barbecue.
Yeah.
Frankie Beverly recently passed.
He did.
That was late last year too.
Yeah.
Literally like maybe three months ago.
Okay.
Yeah.
You right.
Okay.
(01:14:51):
Last one.
This is real easy.
Last one, this is real easy too.
Okay.
What is Judge Mathis well known for calling people on his show?
I don't even think I have to list the options.
(01:15:11):
The fact he calls people crackheads on every single show.
He told one woman she smelled like crack.
I don't know.
He said he was a former crackhead so he knows what it smelled like.
He said I smell a little crack on you.
What does that mean?
That reminds me of that video, Frankie.
You remember that video of the person that was on the train and then the person started
(01:15:36):
doing crack next to him and they was like, I feel rabid.
It was like I didn't even hear all the smoking.
I feel rabid.
I can't imagine what inhaling crack smoke would make you feel like niggas.
The hug it gave me.
(01:15:57):
It never let me go.
Can you imagine feeling for some shit and you don't know what it is because you done
inhaled some shit you didn't know?
Listen.
Was crack smoke?
Speaking of crackheads.
You going through withdrawals and don't even know like.
Somebody said what if you were standing outside when Martin Luther King Boulevard, he was
sipping your drink and a crackhead just ran by and grabbed your lip and say, got your
(01:16:20):
mouth.
I don't know why that was so stupid.
That was the stupidest, funniest thing.
I was like, boy, this is internet is truly a dumb ass place.
Because you and I both know it's some shit a crackhead would do.
Absolutely.
At random.
Just because it's Wednesday evening at 9 47 p.m.
(01:16:42):
And you're standing there.
And run the fuck away.
And you just sit in their mouth just full of lip crack.
They got that crack under their nails.
They do.
Oh, I feel ravenous.
Bless her.
(01:17:03):
That's all I got this week for y'all.
What about you, Brandon?
You got anything else for them?
That is all I got for y'all.
Remember, just to just to protect your peace.
Stay aware, but don't over.
Don't be consumed.
You got it.
We're going to be all right.
(01:17:24):
We don't end up in the words of multi Grammy award winning Kendrick Lamar.
My nigga, we gonna be all right.
Hey, we gonna be all right.
We got it.
And Drake is indeed gone.
(01:17:46):
He is gone.
He's gone.
He is gone.
All right, y'all.
Peace.
Probably.
