A little sip of Sexxy Red Koolaid before the slip slips and we see that the deaconess coochie pink and her booty hole brown.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello, everybody. My name is Atticus and my name is Hope.

(00:02):
You are now watching the White Refrigerator.
Welcome back, y'all.

(00:26):
Thank you guys for coming back where we are keeping you fresh
in the world of myths and helping us feel better together because Lord knows we need it.
We do. And we getting it.
Yes, because what you tell me earlier for being black, ain't all about struggle.
It's a lot of great shit happening over here, too.
1000 percent. We we can emphasize that.

(00:47):
Shout out to the grits and eggs podcast.
I think I've talked about him before.
I love listening to the on takeout.
He is one of the few men that need a mic.
He keeps miking that big as hands.
Let me is he on the grits and eggs podcast?
Is he on that by himself?
Yeah, like him and somebody behind the camera.
Yes. Yeah. Lights can go with the dreads.
OK, cool, cool. I did see I seen like a clip of it.

(01:10):
I was like, I think this is who was talking about. Yeah.
Yeah. But yeah, definitely.
Spitting. Need a mic.
Definitely. But yeah, he was talking on his podcast about
that the revolution that we're going through now is a revolution of love,
of like loving each other, black people, loving each other, black
people, resting and stuff like that.

(01:32):
And I've seen a few other people talk about that as well.
So, yeah, that's that's that's the time we're on.
And shout out to the others who, you know, have common sense
or in this struggle with us, you know, the.
White folk, Hispanic, everybody else,
but right now, my main focus is on black folk
because we didn't make through enough.

(01:52):
And and and when we told you how we were sitting down
and being joyous, we meant that.
So, yeah, let's keep on doing it.
And speaking of that, this episode is actually a wellness check in episode.
We're going to try to try to do this a couple of times throughout the year.
These will be lighter, more fun, funnier episodes.
But just checking in, seeing how goals are going,

(02:15):
how we're feeling, things like that.
So, friend, how are you feeling?
How's your week been? What's new?
My week has been great.
There's nothing, nothing new that's happening here.
One thing I did start while I kept seeing a bunch of stuff
about a show called Paradise.
I don't know if you had heard about it yet on Hulu.

(02:37):
And the main character is a black man, which,
you know, I told you, if it ain't got none of us in it, I'm not watching it.
But the main character is a black man, and that is a phenomenal show.
I say 10 out of 10 a lot.
I'm going to say this show is it has a well, a well-rounded cast.

(02:57):
It's super interesting because it time hops and you're trying to figure out
exactly what the hell is happening.
OK. The conclusion of the show was not what I was expecting at all.
And I did see it got picked up for season two.
So I'm curious to see where it goes from here.
But the the end of the show

(03:19):
had me laughing for like eight and a half minutes.
And I don't want to spoil nothing for nobody.
But the two people that came in at the end, sort of one of them had been there.
You kind of knew who she was.
But her her her little ending part.
And if anybody who's seen it, y'all know what I'm talking about.
When I when I say the Nintendo Wii, that part took me the fuck out of here.

(03:43):
Like, I actually had to pause the show and laugh for like five or six minutes
because I was like, bitch, the Nintendo Wii.
Free, you got to watch it, because I actually want to talk about that show on here,
because it was a lot of a lot of different layers of stuff happening,
especially towards the when it comes to music.
Nothing new under the sun here.

(04:04):
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy on the Megan Thee Stallion this week.
And I feel like that's just because probably I was feeling a little bit
of feeling like I needed that little bit of boost that her music is.
It gives off that energy that you need to feel like you to you to have
you that motherfucker, no matter if you are that girl or that guy.

(04:24):
I feel like that's what she gives off.
So I need it. Need a little bit of that.
But that's been about it for me this week.
For you. How have you been doing?
You know, this week is is proven to be a good week.
Same. I'm not going to talk too much about work.
Work is work. Work is work.

(04:46):
I'm employed. Thank God I have a job.
I'm employed for the most part.
I like my job.
I like the things at my job.
And yeah, that's it.
As far as music goes, I have a couple of shout outs.
So my girl Madison McFerrin has dropped a new song.

(05:09):
Ain't it nice?
The video is dope.
She's got a new ball in there and they just are a super beautiful black couple.
Love to see it.
And she was like, I think either last year or year before last in my top Spotify,
like my top one of my top most played.
I think she may have been my top most played artist,

(05:29):
which is a lot because Beyonce.
And then it was another one.
Oh, Lights Out.
So Lights Out Association, but I think he pronounces it Ting Sake.
White guy, very groovy music.
Love, love his music down.
He dropped the whole album.
That was unexpected and very welcome.

(05:52):
And yeah, that's really about it for me.
Like I said, work is going well.
I finished I finished a new painting, y'all, which was super dope.
I did an octopus.
Yeah, I'm.
I'm working on another piece now, just trying to keep myself fresh
and more creative and functioning at my higher self this year.

(06:15):
So that means putting more work out and just doing it.
Ain't no need to try things you enjoy.
Just do it. Yes, absolutely.
So, yeah, that's that's pretty much it for me.
So moving on, friend, it ain't really like a top shelf thing,

(06:36):
but just a couple of things I want to bring up first,
just to get the sad part out the way, y'all and just the whole.
And it's all gone.
Roberta Flack, Roy Ayers, I was like, you know how old Patti LaBelle is.
Shut your fucking mouth.
I'm just saying.

(06:57):
I'm just saying.
As soon as Patti hit that and then she get real wings,
you know, she'd be doing that at.
Yeah.
Yeah. If I see.
Listen, I just love the diva that Patti Patti messed up,

(07:20):
shocker, calling it so bad.
And that's probably my most favorite fuck up she's ever had.
Patti was sitting there.
She looked just like me for a couldn't see simply the best.
What's the words?
She would even say is simply the best. I don't know what she at one point.
She was like, send me the mask.
I was like, that is not the lyrics to this woman's song.

(07:44):
I can't see you.
It's like, who let Auntie Patti up here?
Listen, y'all. Right.
Auntie Patti Dion.
I'm going to blame that on Patti because
I feel like she probably got to that stage
where she feel like she don't need to rehearse.
Just just give me a microphone, baby.
Give me a give me a microphone.
I'm not going to do my right.

(08:07):
I'm Patti LaBelle. I don't sell 60 million albums.
She made a rest.
Well, go learn the lyrics because you don't know what the
you know what this is. Right.
Yes, there's a few of them getting up there.
But yes, yes, Fran.
That one that hurt my feelings a little bit.
But I just wanted to give a shout out to Angie Stone

(08:29):
because she then gave us some great music and some some great moments
in movies.
Can't forget her in the fighting temptations.
Fran and what she on the R&B diva show.
Acting the fool out there.
I don't think she was acting the fool, but, you know.
Fran, why didn't I know she was the single girlfriend?

(08:53):
I didn't either.
She is my girlfriend.
That's Angie Stone.
Yeah. Wow.
Iconic, Iconic.
Definitely iconic.
I'm going to go watch that tonight.
I love me some girlfriends.
I hope she is resting well.
I do, too.

(09:14):
On to like a lighter note.
Did you see Tiana Taylor with Mufasa?
I was like, that's so beautiful.
They so beautiful together.
Are they like a legit couple or from from what I see?
He was married to a white woman.
That's what I thought.
Don't I'll cut this whole section out.

(09:35):
It says it says they confirmed their relationship.
Listen, well, I am here for that.
Yeah, I'm here for that, too, because they're beautiful to get.
Also, how could you not look good besides Tiana Taylor anyway?
I feel like she make anything look good.
But also he is Aaron Pierre and he is beautiful himself.

(09:55):
They just look like sculptures.
They both really do look like sculptures.
That's a beautiful last couple.
And I hope everything goes.
Fairy tale for the both of them.
Absolutely. And if not, I hope they're having fun.
Like at least let it be a fun experience.
Let it let it be fun.

(10:15):
Let it do what it do.
If it's only going to do what they do, let it do what it do and get it done.
Those were the only two things that were of any type of interest to me this week.
Ain't no Beyonce News.
Ain't no Megan Thee Stallion.
Did you see that one interview with that white girl on the red carpet?

(10:38):
So black people have been responding to that on Tiktok,
and it's been the funniest response because they're like, well, I listen
to Carly Rae Jensen, it makes me want to fight.
I'm like, you know,
that's that's what she did.
That's like, girl, what are you what you're talking about?
We don't know which song it was.

(10:59):
She I can only really think of a few,
probably three or four that are like actually probably fight songs
out of her entire catalog.
And you know, I know that whole catalog.
I just made it was like, you got to get that fighting shit up out of here
when you look pretty certain it's a bad bitch.
Listen, I just imagine going her like, tell me,

(11:22):
is it is it love is it love?
Like,
oh, my God, damn.
Come on.
What's going on?
Girl, are you all right?
Y'all are gay that she's been smoking that shit before she came up here.
Y'all are gay for a line to that shit.

(11:45):
Look at her.
Look at her. She's ravenous.
She had what they call that shit, that new shit.
She had to see she had one of them.
What is that stuff?
Is that like is it like a new name for some old shit or is it some new shit?
No, that's that's different.
Friend, that crackhead that you told me about the other day had me so weak.

(12:09):
Friend, let me OK.
You tell you all this.
This is now, you know, crackhead celebrity
got them thing to get the hands on anything they get their hands on.
Why go with my daddy house?
And it was a crackhead trying to sell this nigga a stove hood.
You know, the hood you turn the fan on with.
Like, where the fuck do you even get that from?

(12:31):
And like three rolls of loose toilet tissue.
The combination was crazy.
Could you imagine
if you wake up to go in and get you make you some grits and eggs?
Bacon walk in there, the whole God damn.
Top of your stove.

(12:51):
Where the fuck is that?
Of all the things to be stolen,
like how that was probably the most creative thing.
Crackheads will steal.
They will group the most random shit together, too.
Like a crackhead will steal the elements out of your light bulb.

(13:14):
You might need them.
You don't need no circuits or nothing else.
I'm like, what the fuck do I need circuits for? Right.
By the time I need this shit, I ain't going to be able to find this.
This goddamn filament no more.
What is you talking about, sir?
I got six braces for sale braces.
How did you get them off of the teeth?
I took them off of my own teeth.

(13:43):
All you got to do is get a wrench, get a wrench.
Get your screwdriver, tighten it right on up.
You be like, let me show you.
Oh, shit, my tooth fell out.

(14:05):
I'll say it to you.
You ain't got no fire to.
I got fire to myself.
I got fire to myself.
You sell me your tooth and I help you chew better.

(14:26):
No damn crack to
put that tooth in your mouth.
If you want to, you feel ravenous for you.
I feel like I can run.
I feel like I could run a marathon.

(14:47):
I feel like Superman.
You got to be there.
You be coming down off Scott Street over here.
Hit one of my goddamn Chakari Richards.
Oh, God, my chest.

(15:08):
I almost feel like
I feel almost like I need to stop calling them crackheads
because it feels derogatory sometimes.
Like, I don't know if there's another name, but also.
I don't like the other name.
What's the other name?
Junkie and dope fiend.
Oh, yeah.
They sound incredibly worse.
They they all they do sound terrible.

(15:31):
Cracking sounds funny to me.
Yeah, it is funny.
And they be doing funny shit.
And we all know a couple, right?
They're not bad people.
They just, you know, tried some shit they shouldn't have tried.
And this is where we at now.
But, yeah.
When I tell you, these are like

(15:51):
some of the backbones of the black community,
especially like our generation.
They're going to get a crackhead story.
And I love the fact you said, you know, it's kind of bringing
a humanity into it because I think a lot of people forget about that.
Like, I'll never forgive Ronald Reagan
and or was it when a runaway get a rich and it was running right.

(16:14):
It was Reagan for the whole crack epidemic and how it literally
the war on drugs shattered the black community, shattered the black community.
And it's just like people, you know, because I mean, people try shit.
People be curious.
Well, I'll try anything once except for crack and zebra meat.
Keep the crack in the sea.

(16:35):
I don't want either one of those and the bear.
I don't want no bear.
Yeah, definitely not trying to bear.
But yeah, like, you know, you you curious, you trust.
Y'all probably never me say I'll try anything once that was pertaining to food.
When it comes to a drug of anything, I might smoke.
I might smoke a weed.

(16:56):
I might have one weed.
I might. I might have a drink.
One weed, please.
I'm having one weed, please.
Somebody asked me for that shit.
I'm calling the cops immediately.
You trying to set me up, bitch?
Right. You know, set you up, bitch.
I just want one weed.

(17:19):
I actually, despite how crazy I've always wanted to try shrooms,
but I want to do it in like a safe place or a safe environment with people
I know I can trust.
I don't even know if I should say that out loud, but I'm saying it anyway.
Just want to try it.
Because I've heard some great things, but I've also heard a couple of other things.

(17:39):
People like they be fighting.
They have to start fighting the demons and shit when they when they took it.
And ain't nobody got time for that.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Like, I want to do it.
But like, I mean, especially if I'm on a trip,
I don't want to be an hour long having to fight demons and shit.
Oh, no. And that shit in my dreams.
No, I'm going to be at home laying on some carpet.

(18:00):
OK, some somewhere where I can control my surroundings.
This bitch, when I start falling through the ground,
I need to be brought back to reality that I'm still.
Atticus in the.
Help me.
And you over there trip it out, too.
We both just fucked up.
Right over here, making that making each other go through hell.

(18:22):
Oh, bitch, let's do it in the parking lot of a hospital just in case.
See, I don't want to do that because I'm black.
Soon as I go in there.
Help me. The demons are getting me.
Shoot that big nigger bitch.
She tried to bite me.
When I'm going to go in the ER, I stuck a whole bag of jelly beans.

(18:51):
I stuck a whole bag of jelly beans up my ass.
It's been 24 hours. I ain't seen nothing.
How are you feeling about your goal so far, is your friend?
How are you feeling at this?
What is this third month mark?
At the three month mark, I'm feeling pretty good.
So I feel like I've started everything that I wanted to do so far.
And I also created a plan.

(19:13):
The plan is called Project 2029.
What reason? Because I don't project.
I don't have a plan.
I don't have a plan. I don't have a plan.
I don't have a plan.
Because Project 2025 is horrible, right?
But the name was somewhat catchy.
And I actually kind of dig the name.
And 2029 is like the time I want to have these things worked out.

(19:38):
So the first one is like proved and maintain mental health.
So that's kind of where I'm at and working on that now.
And I actually started in the timeframe that I wanted to start by.
So we are, we're good to go there.
The next step is improved and maintain physical health.
I'm working on it.
I've been outside the last couple of days because it's been like 70 degrees

(20:00):
and the sun has been shining.
So yeah, you know, we got that big ass three mile trail, bitch.
I done lost it because I used to be able to walk it fine.
By the time I get to the end of that motherfucker, I feel like I'm going to pass away.
Do you hear me?
But you making it to the end.
That's what matters.
Barely.
No, you're not listening to me, Hope.

(20:22):
I've never been on the edge of glory like this.
I feel like I'm making it to the finish line with the last few threads of my life.
And when it gets hot outside, I need to have this worked out by the time it actually gets hot.
Yeah.
Because when it gets hot, I'm not going to make it that far.
I already know.
I'm going to need to have like a backup plan midway through the trail

(20:45):
or just do the small one like 75 times.
Because once it gets hot as fuck and I have to start going up the hill,
I already know I'm going to pass the hell away.
And anybody who's going to carry my big ass off that trail.
It's a big nigga out here.
Bring the crane.
Bring the forklift.

(21:06):
They would do the most.
They would do the most.
Call the police.
Call DG Wentworth.
777-CASH-NOW, bitch.
Help me get this big motherfucker.
I can't help him.
Alexander Shannara going to pull up to that bitch.
Exactly.
Do you need an attorney for being a big nigga?

(21:30):
I do.
I do, sir.
God damn.
If I ain't went straight on to the glory.
But that's the next part.
And from there is like just having like the finance part in order,
but one step at a time, bitch, because we got to get everything.
Thanks.
Everything happens one small step at a time.
So when it comes to the goals so far this year, I'm on track.

(21:53):
I have like the rest of this year planned out a certain way.
And when I say planned out a certain way, it's kind of loose,
giving flexibility for some other shit to happen if it may happen,
because who really knows what the end of the year is going to look like at this point.
But this year is going to be pivotal in the future for me.

(22:15):
So it has to work out with me at least trying.
Work.
I mean, that's the start.
That's the start is to trying.
That is true.
So if everything goes good, we definitely going to be great from here and beyond,
but we'll see how it works out.
How about you, Fran?
How are you feeling this year?
A few things that I wanted to do.

(22:36):
I actually have two journals.
I have a couple of journals.
I have more than two.
But I have one that I keep like the financial goals,
like the things that I want to purchase or buy or save for.
And then I have like the more meaningful ones.
So shout out to some of the things I've already cleared.

(22:59):
Like I already bought all the art classes that I wanted to buy.
I got new camera equipment and I have multiple lenses now.
So like I have a full setup for that.
And then like there's a couple of other things that I want to take care of,
some additional stuff for my cats because I'm a mother.

(23:22):
And that's kind of it on the financial side.
Some miscellaneous shit.
Oh, and I know I need a new MacBook.
I mean, my MacBook is great, but I need a newer one because this one is starting to get a little longer.
I'm going to do I'm going to new phone.
But that's like end of year type stuff.
And then like my main goals, like the meaty goals, the spiritual, the well-meaning ones.

(23:45):
You know, I'm out here in the streets again, if not only hybrid, but still I'm out in the public.
You can't be saying you in the streets like that.
What you mean?
That sounds like something different.
Not like that.
Not like that.
But like I'm back. I want to be does fine, too.
I'm a refrain from sharing my thoughts.

(24:08):
But, um, yeah, like I'm back out in public again.
And I was definitely yearning for a human connection other than my family.
You know, it's it's difficult when like your friends are family adjacent, but it's different because it's it.
I don't know. I can talk to the Atticus and even Dina about things that I typically wouldn't talk to my family about.

(24:34):
So like it's it's a different type of relationship.
And I don't have anyone here to do that with.
So there's this sense of isolation.
So that's why I was looking for something to where I had to get out of the house more to meet people.
Meeting friends as an adult is hard because we meet people where we are.
So if you ain't going nowhere, you not meet nobody.

(24:57):
And that kind of applies to everything.
I saw somebody talking about like the love side of things.
And it's like you see that running joke on the Internet all the time where it's like introverts.
How do you expect to meet someone if you don't leave the house?
I'm a door dashing bitch.
Amazon.
No, no.

(25:19):
But yeah, so I put myself back out working on my finances, baby steps, just trying to get things in order as I grow older, trying to be more intentional.
And so far, a lot of my actions this year have reflected that.
So I'm very pleased with that.

(25:41):
So I feel like I'm on track.
Could I be doing better?
Absolutely. My health is still a thing.
I just had pizza and wings tonight.
I got off of work late.
I was like, I'm not cooking shit because I got the show.
So shrimp is way better than what I had.
Well, shrimp in the bag with the potatoes and eggs and all that butter and seasoning.

(26:03):
Black folks be playing.
I told you ancestors.
See you soon.
30 years from now, we be in that hospital just like Big Mama.
You're not taking my legs.
I don't care what no doctor say.
What's her name?

(26:25):
Loretta Devine.
Say what she was playing.
Uncle Clifford's grandma.
Diabetes surprise, but they ain't taking my meat.
Listen,
I'm just like an old person.
It's your health is important.
If you don't have a quality of life, then you're not living.

(26:47):
So take care of yourself.
Sidebar.
Shout out to Lizzo.
Lizzo, you look good, bitch.
You look wonderful.
To be fair, you was fine as they all before.
Big Lizzo, little Lizzo, littler Lizzo, whatever, whatever you try to achieve.
You look good, but you definitely look good now.
And people are talking about, oh, my God, I didn't know she was pretty.
Get the fuck out of my face.

(27:08):
How do you not know she was pretty?
B&B don't stop nobody from looking good.
So.
Since when?
Because people are dummies.
But yeah, my goals are going well.
They always room for improvement, but I can genuinely say I'm happy with the

(27:29):
progress that I've made.
Oh, art.
I talked about this earlier, though, like me painting and being just forcing
myself to kind of do it.
I don't like to sound forcing myself, but like last year I made one painting
for the whole year.
The whole matter of fact, the last time I had painted anything, I think was
September twenty, twenty two.
So to put things in perspective and then I finished that last painting towards

(27:53):
the very end of the year, like November, December.
So that was what?
Fourteen months without creating anything.
That is actually kind of crazy.
That's insane.
At least for me, that's insane.
So I'm just like, OK, at least try to bang out something if not once a month
every three months, but like try to keep yourself in the game.
So yeah, for me, that's that's that's been my goals.

(28:16):
They're going well.
My biggest things right now is just more financial freedom, health.
Spirituality is in there, too.
Like I want to focus on calming my mind and my inner self, my mental health.
I've been doing a lot of work on my mental health, been in therapy for years now.
So it's just like.

(28:37):
I want to learn how to be more aware on my own and be more present on my own
and just know how to use the universe as it exists around me to better myself.
So these are things that I'm focusing on, but I'm very again, I'm very pleased
with where I'm at now.
A hundred percent agree with that.
I'm proud of you, too, Fred.

(28:59):
And I'm proud of you.
And y'all share your stuff.
Share your stuff.
Tell us what you're feeling, what you're going through.
And y'all, these check ins are also you.
Listen, Atticus has heard me say this a thousand times, a thousand times when
feel what you feel, feel your feelings.
There may be the next three month check in in the mid year mark.

(29:23):
I may be like, girl, actually, I'm depressed and I hate everything.
Share that, too.
You can't fix what you just closed off.
It doesn't work that way.
Say what it is.
Say it out loud.
Talk to other people.
Know that you're not alone.
Know that, you know, life is happening to us all.

(29:45):
And share the good days and the bad days.
That way you know how to overcome the bad days when maybe a good day isn't
promised because everybody doesn't always have good days or great days.
I tell people, I don't judge people off of a day.
I judge them off of a habit.
So if you're always in a nasty attitude every day,
then that's a different story.
But if you have one bad day,

(30:06):
maybe something terrible happened and you just,
your emotions aren't regulated, you know?
But anyways, that's a ramble for another day.
I go back to what I just said.
It's okay to feel all your feelings
because they're your feelings and they exist.
Sadness exists, loneliness exists, depression exists.
All the negative stuff exists.
It's a ramble for no reason.

(30:26):
Hello, that's it right there.
So whatever it is, you have to acknowledge that it exists
and start to kind of spread your wings to come up out of it.
And if you don't feel like you can come up out of it alone,
talk to somebody.
Talk to us.
You're not supposed to be sad in the discord
because I don't hardly be in there,

(30:47):
but if I see somebody sad, I'm coming in.
Coming in.
Yeah, we don't do sad.
Not too much around here.
Good talk.
And it's good to let it exist.
Just don't sleep in it.
There we go.
Don't stay in it.
What Jennifer Lewis say?
She said, shit stops thinking when you sit in it long enough
and that ain't nothing but the truth.

(31:07):
That's true.
That ain't nothing but the truth.
Also shout out to Jennifer Lewis.
She is also iconic in herself.
Love her damn.
I'll never forget.
Was it the pink?
Was it a pink or purple tree story?
I agree wholeheartedly.
Where she said she was riding down the street
with her husband or ex-husband or something.
And she was like, look at this tree,
this pink or purple tree or something.

(31:29):
Ain't it so beautiful?
And he was just like, it's just a damn tree.
I got to get away from this motherfucker.
Can't see no beauty in nothing.
Yeah, you got, if people can't enjoy nothing,
you can't really be around the people.
You can't really.
I ain't finna be around no negative Nancy, y'all.

(31:51):
Like I said, feel your feelings,
but you not finna stay in the hole.
Right.
You finna suck the life out of me
unless you finna suck the life.
And then, Nicks.
For the rest, we just going to be talking shit really.
Asking questions and being messy.

(32:14):
Not really messy.
It's only one question on here that I saw.
Huh?
I said being grown, because we grown.
Being grown, right.
We been grown for a long time, grown.
Right.
Yeah, bad knees grown.
When I stand up, I,
ah, shit.

(32:36):
My knee hurt a little bit.
Right, when it rain,
I feel a little bit different grown.
Friend, that's how I knew I was getting old.
That's how I knew I was getting old.
I was like, ooh, my ankle sore today.
And it started raining outside.
I just stood at the patio.
This goddamn rain.
What you standing there with that big mama

(32:56):
hanging on your hip.
You know what?
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
Lord, hammer.
If I wasn't a dyke, I would have had a damn moomo on.
That's just how I was.
Lord.
Mm.
Mm.
Grandma, your moomo's stank.
You can't.
You can't.
You can't.

(33:16):
You can't.
You can't.
You can't.
Your moomo's still on his stank.
Please.
Please.
Help me, nigga.
Help me.
Listen, they been been paying that motherfucker too.
It's smell like booty cheeks and fried stuff.

(33:40):
Little bit of pee.
Wait, I'm gonna tell you something.
That's my grandma bitch
and you better not say nothing about her.
The Wired Pictureator.
Alright, so let's spin the wheel.
Airbag.

(34:01):
Question number seven.
Okay.
Alright, so if you had to create a new flavor of Kool-Aid, what would it be called?
And what would it taste like?

(34:25):
Okay, let me see.
I like lemonade mixed with everything, so it would probably actually be like a blue raspberry lemonade type situation.
Okay, okay.
Or either grape and lemonade. It's like my two favorite to mix.

(34:51):
And then what...
Let me see.
And what would it be called?

(35:12):
I'm trying to think, because as soon as I say grape Kool-Aid, people are like, that's that black shit. That's that nigga shit.
I would name it nigga-nade just because I know white folks can't say it. As soon as they go to say it, they're going to get fucked up.

(35:33):
Can I get this one in the purple pack? What do you want?
What is it?
Say it louder for me.
I can't.
As soon as she go to say it louder, I'm going to turn the goddamn microphone on and just put the intercom straight up to her voice.

(35:59):
Nigga-nade, nigga-nade.
As soon as you start crying, you use those same tears.
Child, we would get shot for crying.
Weaponized tears, bitch, what?

(36:21):
Goddamn, y'all ain't got no cool.
What about you, Fran? What are you creating?
My Kool-Aid flavor would be called sexy red.
Oh, you hate what that is?
Yeah.
What would it taste like, though?
It would taste like my pussy pink, my booty hole brown, and Crown Royal.

(36:53):
I'm not sure that one.
The green apple flavor. Is it green? It's an apple flavored Crown Royal.
How did I think about it?
Yeah.
Pink, coochie, and booty. I'm so sorry.
I went somewhere else for a bit. I was like, you know, this Kool-Aid tastes familiar.

(37:19):
When you open it and the dust comes out, it's going to smell like a blackened mouth.
Yeah.
I think that's an enticing flavor. That'll definitely be a seasonal one. It'll come out once a year and sell out.
And come out only in February.

(37:42):
February and on Juneteenth specifically for one day.
You feeling black? Come and get that sexy red. You know what? They have to body roll.
You remember when McDonald's used to do them commercials and they made like straight up R&B commercials?
You were like, chicken nuggets creeping down in your niggas fucking kitchen.

(38:12):
You were like, what is happening?
They all did that.
Crispy chicken and lettuce.
A flour tortilla.
They said when you ask Mary about that nacho, fuck you up.

(38:34):
She tried to put that shit behind her.
Listen, that was a point in time. That was beautiful.
McDonald's had a whole R&B commercial. Do you remember the one where the girl was cheating on him with the nuggets?
No.
Fran, when we finished this, you got to play. It was something about, no, he had the nuggets or something and she wanted the nuggets.

(38:55):
And she was creeping with the nuggets. That's what I was just doing. It was a totally different song.
Wait, was this a commercial that took place at nighttime and it was raining?
Yes.
I do. I remember exactly what you're talking about now. Yes.
They had an old school R&B song playing in the background?
It was an original. I was like, who at McDonald's is working with Motown or what's his name? L.A. Reeve. Who was writing this?

(39:28):
It was probably Diddy.
All right. Next question.
Number nine.
What's the most embarrassing song on your playlist that you secretly love?

(39:56):
So here's the thing.
Y'all not ashamed of the music I listen to. I don't care. I listen to everything.
I was about to say I'm too grown to be embarrassed now. If we was in high school, it was quite a few.
I don't even think I gave a fuck then. I was just like, nigga, I'm gonna listen to what I want to listen to.
That's because you listen to black stuff.

(40:20):
I listen to white stuff too. I listen to everything.
You niggas did not respect No Britney Spears, No Toxic by Britney Spears.
Not back then. Now everybody want to give her her flowers.
I'm trying to think of something that like.
Nigga, you gay.

(40:45):
What friend? Why have they brought back the term punk? And the way they say it. Have you seen these videos?
Punk.
Somebody said.
Straight from Florida.
I'm scared to go to the Beyonce concert because it's gonna be a bunch of punks with their booty out and all of them smell his ass.
I was like, you know what? Y'all niggas is wild.

(41:07):
Sir, you gonna smell ass regardless because it is gonna be a lot of assless chaps out there.
I'm 100% sure.
Friends, so many.
So many.
It's gonna be a good time.
So I know I look like this, right? Like, y'all know what I look like.
I always joke that I look like my daddy and I really do.

(41:30):
But one of my favorite songs and it's I have a funny story about this too.
So this is back home some years ago.
I was heading to work one morning and one of my favorite songs is Whitney Houston's version of Chaka Khan's I'm Every Woman.
And I'd be singing it with my heart.

(41:52):
Do you hear me?
I'm every woman.
It's all in me.
But I always look like this, right?
So like I'm in my car and where I used to live there was a Krispy Kreme up the road.
And this particular day I was like, I'm gonna treat my coworkers.
I think I was gonna grab like some Krispy Kreme because it's another spot that used to be right by my house too.

(42:19):
And then listen, them donuts is delicious. They be open for exactly three hours and then they're closed.
You talking about loyalists?
Yeah, they really are. And the hours they're open is from like 5 a.m. to 8.
Like 8 or 9. Yeah, they're done. They're done.
So if you miss them, you missed them.

(42:40):
They're sweet though. Let me tell you what they did.
One day I went up there. I didn't even know the motherfuckers didn't accept debit cards.
So I went up there, ordered my donuts, handed my card.
She was like, no, we only take cash.
And I was like, I'm sorry, I ain't got no cash.
She was like, okay, you can pay us back later.
And she just gave me my shit.
I was like, if I was a conniving, guttive, snipe ass bitch, I could have just not ever went back.

(43:06):
But I really, I went back and paid them a little bit more because I was like, damn, that was sweet.
Let me tell you something.
You know your business is booming when you can still only take cash in the 2020s.
They said, it's okay, girl, we got it. We're going to close in 15 minutes anyways.
What's on that?
Every time I would go up there, unless I went like super early, like seven and then sevenish, you're fighting for your life.

(43:33):
Everybody is head at bitch.
So you really got to be there at like the beginning of seven, somewhere, maybe a little bit around six.
I don't even know if you can go in.
Ain't it just drive through?
It's just as far as I know, it's always been just drive through.
Yeah.
And it's just like a two car drive through, bitch.
You can't, if you go too far out of there, you're going to be in the highway.

(43:55):
But yeah, I stopped to get the doughnuts for the coworkers because I'm like, you know, we're going to have a good day today, whatever, whatever.
And I'm in the drive through getting my life.
I'm talking about cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, rolling down.

(44:16):
And this nigga gave me the most homophobic, boozy look.
I don't know if he thought I was a gay man or a gay woman.
I don't think he knew what I was.
He was just trying to, he, this nigga, sir.
And I'm just, and then it is, yeah, no, he was just staring me down in the camera and I'm just like, or in the car and I'm just like, oh, so I just made it even more gay.

(44:46):
I turn around and start singing at him.
Listen, sir, you're not going to, you're not going to pop me, bitch.
Right.
Yeah.
That's one of my favorite songs.
And I think just because I look like somebody's son, they be baffled. But I tell people these babies boy clothes, there's a vagina under here.
I am a woman. I'm a lesbian.

(45:08):
Let's be.
And on top of it, you a person, bitch.
I can listen to whatever I want to listen to.
It's a fun, catchy song.
Right.
Hell, your mama's a woman, bitch.
What about you?
You ain't no city girl.
You a shitty girl.
And your man want to come to the country world.
I would never.

(45:33):
I would never judge you for that.
Because I'd be sitting there.
It ain't no, it really ain't no guilty pleasure because then that's what I listened to.
I listened to the rap girls like literally all of them.
So also that was probably the funniest.
This it was so funny.

(45:55):
I was in no disrespect at all because I also love JT, love JT to played her album down when it came out.
And yeah, it's still on the playlist actually.
But that song was funny as fuck.
It was funny because girl, why are you singing this?
Where did that come from?

(46:16):
I just I love it.
I love it.
I still like JT, but I have not looked at her the same ever since she started doing that shit she was doing.
I was like, don't turn into a mean girl, JT, please, please be a girl's girl.
Please.
Yeah.
Don't don't fall in the footsteps.

(46:38):
I don't know.
I think some of it may be like a misunderstood thing because she really do be seeming like she don't bother nobody.
Like she just be in her own space.
But when shit happens and she goes there, you know, it's like, God damn.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Don't take the bait shit.

(47:01):
I hope she's doing well.
I enjoy her music.
I do too.
Definitely.
Well, all right.
Music.

(47:25):
What's the wildest thing you've seen go down at a church service?
Oh, God.
I don't go to church that much.
So the wildest thing was probably some shit I did.
What did you do?
And this was as a child.

(47:46):
So, you know, I don't really like a lot of super loud, loud shit and black churches be loud, loud as fuck where there's somebody screaming or when the music come up over the microphone.
But I remember my mama took me to church.
And at this this point we were somewhere like in the middle, but I was barely tall enough to like stand over the pew and see what the fuck was going on.

(48:12):
And they was just doing all that talking and I was in my own world.
But then they started playing the music and them fucking horns was so God damn loud.
And all I could do is like this.
It was hurting my spirit.
And I was just in the in the damn seat acting like a goddamn spider monkey.
And all I remember is her like putting her hands on me.

(48:34):
She's like, I'm gonna beat your ass when we get home.
The way that fear immediately set in.
It was still the same.
Maybe it was the devil in my spirit, but friend, that shit didn't stop one bit.

(48:55):
Get that out of here.
That might be the reason I don't like the church to this day.
It's probably the spirit that's been in ever since the heathen.
I'll be dead.
So the funniest thing I've ever seen at church, I unlike Eddie, unfortunately did for the most part grow up in church.

(49:20):
Unfortunately, sounds terrible.
I didn't mean it in an ugly way.
I just was there a lot more than I wish I had been or it was a lot of anyways.
One of the funniest things I ever, ever saw was a church that we visited one time and the lady had fell out in the spirit.
You know how old women be having them slips, you know, they just slip Sunday.

(49:45):
They, they, they, they look skirts.
Fran.
No.
What?
Did it keep all?
Not know, but keep on talking.
So like she was in the spirit and she was just having her moment and she had passed out.

(50:10):
Did she pass out for real or she was fake passing out?
I don't, I don't know what they'd be doing.
I believe some of them doing and some of them, I just think they'd be putting on a, it is theater bitch.
They're like, action.
It really did.
But she had passed out and she had a slip on, but then like the skirt.

(50:33):
It went all the way up and she have no drawers on.
So it was just like them stockings and I asked.
Now I know this old lady wasn't out there with no damn.
You shut up.
Now I know she wasn't out there letting me coochie breathe.

(51:00):
When it had flat open it was staking.
Everybody got hit with this.
Sit down.
Sit up, sit down, sit back around.

(51:26):
And she had a wide legged too.
So like you can see some of her coochie and it was old and mind you, I'm like, maybe 12 or 13.
Just appalled bitch.
I'd like, the pastor immediately.
It was the friend.

(51:47):
I'm crying.
It was the frenzy afterwards.
Come on.
Come on.
I swear on everything I love for a brief second.
I think she might have been playing because for a brief second I was standing because I was over to the side and I just was like, you're like, get the kids out of here.

(52:14):
I was like, you would have thought a demon had escaped their ass or something.
A demon escaped from up under that dress.
I swear to God, I bet you were laying down.
She was like this.
For a brief second she went.

(52:39):
I was like, I know you didn't play it.
Yeah.
Opened up her eye.
Oh God.
I'm actually in tears.
Hands down, hands down.
The funniest shit.
The wildest thing I think I've ever seen because it was the wind too.

(53:00):
The wind.
I was like, ooh.
Just make your friend up.
I just like mouth.
Like why don't you just like how it's all.
And why do you have a little draw some.

(53:21):
It was a sheer slip.
What is going on.
Oh God.
Oh God.
I just want to go to bed.
Next one we all did.
Damn.

(53:46):
Ooh, that's terrible.
Number two.
and movie quotes for the rest of your life, which movie would you choose? So I'm

(54:06):
gonna have a little bit of a difficult time with this because I be quoting shit
and I won't be remembering where it came from. There's definitely two for me and I
feel like you actually know them both. One would one be Friday because that's
definitely one for me. It's not one for you. Friday would definitely be one for
me and another one that I feel like I quote often is Harlem Nights. I like that

(54:35):
movie a lot. My two would definitely be Dreamgirls because I will randomly just
bust out. I found myself out on a line. Like it's just all that I just I do
random quotes from that movie all the time and then when we do this all the
time but mama is not gonna sell me. But that's an honorable mention. The other

(55:02):
one is the other one is Norbit. I quote Norbit all the time. Oh damn that's right.
Every time you say I think about that white coochie. It really was an open your mouth situation because why you run and jump in the camera that way? It just was pale. It didn't have no seasoning or nothing. And it was like unprovoked. You just go through your feed and see somebody jump in your face.

(55:39):
That's definitely a sound she should have had over that video. But Norbit is classic. Norbit is definitely classic. Damn bringing down the houses too. And Dreamgirls. See I'll be quoting a lot of this shit.

(56:00):
Is mama gonna sell me tomorrow? And then we don't be serious about nothing. Never. So yeah. Yeah I can definitely agree with that. Oh did I not get rid of it? Well shit. We'll do like three more. Okay two or three more.

(56:29):
Number eight is if you could replace the national anthem with any song what would it be?
Alligator Tears.
Alligator Tears is a great pick. Ooh that would piss everybody off. That's a great pick.

(57:05):
Spare the Rodsport, child. You turned out fine. If somebody of pale persuasion told me that. Spare the Rodsport, friend.
I'm trying to do so much better and be so much better. Did you say of pale persuasion? Oh pale. I thought you said hell persuasion.

(57:31):
That fits too.
Ooh child I would actually lose my mind but yeah it would be Alligator Tears.
What would that be for me? If I could replace any, the national anthem with any song. Ooh No One Man Should Have All That Power. No I'm not replacing it with that song.

(58:03):
I was gonna say friend because then we talk about the person who made it. No that was just like a quote for the situation.
It would definitely be a Megan Thee Stallion song. As of right now it would probably be Bigger in Texas.
Said what I said.
Here at Ace Town we love you.

(58:26):
Yes.
Both my favorite people from the Houston.
Okay, let's see.
Damn it I keep not removing it.

(58:47):
13.
If you could have a steamy affair with any fictional character.
Who would it be? I already got mine. Who's yours? You probably know who it is. Just guess friend. The blank dude from Severance.

(59:09):
I didn't think about him. He thick though. He thick boy.
And he got a big old negro. I love, I love big noses. That's weird maybe, but I do. I love it. But no.
From a show that we watched. It just ain't been on in a while.

(59:30):
Old boy from he was in Harlem too.
Damn what was his name?
Yep. Yep. Listen, take me down to the Bayou any day.
Take me down.
You say fighter alligator, I throw on my swamp boots. Okay.

(59:51):
Yeah, fictional character.
This is a tough one.
Trying to think of like.

(01:00:12):
I started thinking so hard my damn eyes crossed.
I had to straighten them up.
And this could be a cartoon character too.
What to be?
Actually, I'm gonna gag y'all. This was my, this individual. Now mind you, I was young.

(01:00:35):
But like, because I think the show went off in like the two, like two, no, it was like 99 or 2000.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it came out in like 95, 96.
Maxine Shaw.
Oh, Lord.
That was just fine to me.

(01:00:59):
Beautiful.
Oh boy.
And she's still beautiful to this day.
Yeah.
Damn near the exact same as she did 30 years ago.
What's her name? Erica Alexander's. But yes, just oh Lord, I don't know what it is.
Like I said, I love all my sisters.

(01:01:20):
Like brown, dark, super chocolatey, whatever.
Y'all, I love you all. But something about darker, complete women just do something to me.
I don't know what it is. I can't explain what it is.
But again, I love them all. Like I said, here lately it's been the red bones and the light brights that caught my attention.
But like I said, I take black women any way you serve her to me.

(01:01:43):
Right. When I say love them all, not women.
I mean, I love women, but not women.
Not like, he don't love them the same way I love him.
I don't love them the same way. I love them like sister.
Yes, girl. And I'd be like, yes, girl.
You know what? Kyle didn't look too bad himself.

(01:02:05):
They were a fine ass couple. That was beautiful.
And they were both dark skinned. I love that. I love that.
They also had big lips and a big ass nose.
Love that big ass nose. I'm gonna stop saying that.
That's a big black nose. We love big black pans around here.
No, we don't like them too big.

(01:02:30):
18. What makes for great sex?
Ooh. Go ahead, Fran. I'm gonna let you go first.
So for me, what makes for great sex is one, everything that happens before actually having sex.
So all of the foreplay, all of the kissing, hugging and touching and rubbing beforehand.

(01:02:55):
That's number one. Number two, being verbal.
Because who likes quiet sex? Like, what's even the point if ain't nobody gonna make no noise or, you know, or talk.
Talk you through it. And three, would just be somebody that's considerate.

(01:03:16):
Because you know, in this naked of woods, you might die if somebody's like considerate.
But the motherfucker trying to kill you. God damn.
But yeah, that for me is what makes great.
Oh, also a hairy man. Not like wolf man too hairy, but like I do body hair. Bald is weird.

(01:03:42):
That's just that enough. Yeah.
So for me, and this is one thing I love about being a woman who loves women. Women are so, so good at seduction.
My God today. Something about, so tag me in type two with Atticus foreplay. Yes, absolutely.

(01:04:05):
I'm gonna double down with him on that. Foreplay just is, mwah, chef's kiss.
But it's something about the mind games that you can play a little bit with me first. First of all, women do this thing.
And I'm going to show you, I'll see if I can show you. They'll hit you with this.
They'll look you side side and then they'll hit you with this triangle. That triangle thing with their eyes.

(01:04:27):
That's almost like letting you know. That's a direct actually. I'm interested in you.
I can't do it because that's one super feminine trait that I just don't have. But like that, that boom, boom, boom, boom.
Look you up. Something about the tease me a little bit. Just make me want it.

(01:04:50):
Oh, you looking like you like what you see.
I'm gonna let you work a bullet.
Listen, if you want to taste it, then I'm gonna make you taste it. Gotta be patient.
Gotta be patient.
That does it for me. That's gonna do it for me every time.

(01:05:14):
It's the art of the seduction.
It's the art of the seduction.
I chew.
But yes, all that other stuff makes you.
I ain't gonna say no to this. Okay, let's go to the next one.

(01:05:39):
Something.
What's the best sex you've ever had?
If you want to answer this one.
I can answer this one briefly.
Um, me attic is actually talked about this. I don't know how this person came up in conversation.
I don't even remember what we were talking about anymore now.

(01:06:00):
But from way back in the day, and I don't say too much because I know a lot of people from back home listening to this and I am.
I'm not because I don't out people.
But
that thing that I was just talking about the art of seduction, she would say the slyest, slickest shit and it would just unnerve me.

(01:06:23):
I love that.
And it was just like, and then she matched my freak like she can somebody match my freak and somebody match my nasty.
She did. She did.
And I love that.
And like Atticus said, communication.
I love a good communicative bitch.
Talk to me, talk to me, tell me what you want.

(01:06:44):
Tell me how you like it. Tell me how fast you like it.
How slow you like it. What do you want me to do to that right there?
Tell me what you want to do.
Tell me how you want it.
Tell me.
I got hot.
I got hot.
But yeah, she just was like, I don't know how to describe the sex in like detail, but it was just like the tease, the sensuality of it all.

(01:07:14):
I will say this.
So the best songs I've ever had in bed like ever had in bed.
Taurus, Aries, Aquarius, Libras.
I would shout my own song.
That bitch had me climb in my bed.

(01:07:35):
Do you hear me?
I ain't never had head like that in my life.
What did I say? Taurus, Aries, Libras. Yeah, that's going to be my three.
That's going to be my three.

(01:07:56):
So yeah, collectively, all three of those people have given me the work, bitch.
They have given. I'm not a touch me, not.
I feel bad for the studs that are. I'm not. I am not.
I am not. Matter of fact, we're going to be a little freaky.
I'm a verse top.
So like while I'm more dominant, yeah, I'd let the right bitch flip me a couple of times, too.

(01:08:20):
So like I'm all about having fun, bitch.
Having a good time.
Let's go with it. Right.
As long as it feels good.
Right. Right. And if you want me to take charge, I can do that, too.
I am good at that. I do not mind.
So yeah. What about you, friend? What's your best ever?

(01:08:42):
So this came from like two different people.
Oh, this is so. You'd be like shy about it.
But OK, so the first one, I'm going to call him old Mississippi, because that's where he's from.
But if anybody I've ever talked to, I don't really like it.
Like, I don't like really getting it or giving it.

(01:09:05):
It doesn't do do much. It likes to get you started.
But after a while, it's boring. When I tell you this nigga.
Had me screaming. I ain't never had no.
That's I was like, OK, this is what people be talking about.
This is why everybody love it so much.
I ain't never had nothing like this before in my life.
Not screaming. This ain't never had nothing like that before in my life.

(01:09:30):
And they had nothing like that since.
Ever. Like, I don't know what that's about.
Is that a Mississippi thing? Do I need to find me somebody in Mississippi?
Because God. No, you're not going to trick me like that, friend.
Because you know, my ex was from Mississippi.
I did. I don't know if you ever told me that.

(01:09:53):
Maybe it's a thing. Maybe it's a thing because.
Whoo. OK. I won't play them reindeer games.
Yes. But the other one, the actual like best six.
Like this was a bottom, but he was a white boy.

(01:10:14):
Y'all got that super soap that popped like Coca Cola plus the title.
Got him smiling like the Joker.
OK, maybe this is weird to say, but sex feels most the same.
Mostly it did not feel the same.
First of all, that motherfucker was a thousand degrees.
I don't know what was going on.

(01:10:35):
I don't know if that motherfucker was high or some shit was on fire.
But when I tell you about to bus in four and a half seconds,
that's what I mean. Like you got to pull out and get yourself together.
Type of type of shit and go back.
Yeah, it was five, five stars, 10, 10 across the board.

(01:10:57):
Tens across the board. Tens across the board.
He had it together. I know what I was getting into.
Either one of those times.
I need to find old Mississippi though.
So we decided Mississippi is where it's at.
So that's that's where I didn't say. Listen, I am not falling in debt.
I am not falling in that trap.

(01:11:18):
You can.
I'm not falling in that trap.
I'm not falling in that trap.
I'm not falling in that trap.
I'm not falling in that trap.
Baby, give me one more chance.
Before is have you ever sent the text to the wrong person?

(01:11:43):
And you immediately regretted it. I definitely have.
I was talking about them too.
No, Fred, you tell your story first.
I'm trying to think of something.
I was. So it was a screenshot of the conversation I was having with this person.
I don't know if you ever going to watch it.
Not you sent them the screenshot.

(01:12:05):
I sent them the screenshot of the conversation that I had been having with them.
And when I realized I did, I was like, but they have an iPhone.
So I couldn't erase the message.
And when I realized what I had done, like the way I tried to play it off, I don't know if he bothered or not.
Probably not.

(01:12:28):
I just wanted you to see how you sounded when you said this to me.
That's what you guys like to listen to.
You ain't shit not out here.
I just wanted you to see how you sounded, what that looked like when you sent it to me.
So did. So did. I really wasn't shit for that. My bad.

(01:12:54):
I don't think I have, friend.
Not like the ones that I regret.
Like if I send something by accident, it's just because I was responding to like a few people had texted me and I'm like responding to everybody.
And I accidentally send somebody something, but it's not like.
Yeah, I'm real careful about that just for that very reason, because I don't want to have to.

(01:13:17):
Because then I don't. I friend, I told you I don't like the light on my own.
I don't give a fuck. I was talking about you. I think you're a dumb.
I think you're a dummy. Like he was talking about you bad.
Yeah. They're running. Got caught. So, yeah, I don't think I don't think I have friend.
That's good. That's a good thing.

(01:13:38):
I don't think I've ever actually done that before.
That was literally like the first time, but it was funny as fuck.
And maybe they did realize what they sounded like when they like read it back in the picture.
It's like, I just want you to see what you sound like.
I did at the gas lighter.

(01:14:00):
It was it was a little bit of gas lighter.
But what they said was also dumb as fuck. So there's and again, that's why I said, yeah, I did.
You stupid. I did that my bad.
But OK, y'all, that is going to be it for tonight.

(01:14:24):
I hope you all have a wonderful evening and we will see you all next week.
Until next time, y'all.
Bye.
