Episode Transcript

(00:00):
All right, children, welcome to another episode of The Lemon Squeeze.
It is time to give you the juice with some sugar, honey.
I have today, y'all, first before we even start this podcast, I am super stoned.
As you know, this is how we like to do The Lemon Squeeze. You got to be.
But I'm here with some good people in my life, my co-host for today. We got Mr.

(00:26):
EO in the building. Beep, beep, beep, beep. we also
have gregorio castellan yes
yes are you high
c why did
it say c okay and then we also have mr stone
crazy aka aaron williams hi i'm here
yes we are all here and today we're gonna jump right into it because we are

(00:50):
here for this news today our former president donald trump Trump has been convicted
of all 34 charges of his felony case.
And just in case you don't know what that is, the man lied about money in his
campaign and he used some of the coins to pay off his prostitute, AKA the porn star.

(01:13):
Stormy Daniels, former porn, former porn star. Cause she's well, how old is she now?
She's old. She's like in her 50s. I know some 50 year old. Well,
I wouldn't say she's like old, like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Right.
But I would, I mean like, she's not doing porn anymore. She could still be a porn star.
Like you literally, if you go, cause sometimes if, when I get on Pornhub, you.

(01:35):
I have the unpleasure of seeing granny porn.
I've seen those advertisements where they show old people.
I mean, I guess old people need love. We started right off. Yeah,
we popping it. I'll kind of show people around your age range.
Oh, well, I'm not into granny porn.
No, I see. No. Yeah.

(01:58):
I guess it's the M43. They advertise like ARP now.
Well, I'm guilty. I may not like greenies, but I definitely love a nice deal thing.
Oh, yeah, you do like. Yeah, that is definitely your brand.
But anyway, speaking of deals, but not, I guess Donald Trump will be a deal to somebody. You grow.
He is a son, but he's not to me. But anyway, he's been prosecuted.

(02:21):
I don't know what good that's going to do.
Finally, he's going to get his sentencing. I think they said sometime sometime
in July, but he still, no matter what, will be able to run for the presidency.
Well, I guess he'll be the first criminal in the White House.
Oh, no, Will. Not the first criminal.
Yeah, there's been several criminals in the White House. But he's the first

(02:42):
president to get convicted of all his charges.
A former president. And still being able to run for office.
Who would have ever knew? I can't believe that he was even...
Because just the average man would not be able to do what Donald Trump is doing right now.
Convicted of 34 charges. And I think they said that they're a felony.

(03:04):
34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a case stemming from payments
that silenced a porn star.
Right, and that's like a blue-collar crime, correct?
Yeah, I mean, it's misclassification of funds.
So he misclassified what that payment was for, and that kind of payment is not

(03:29):
considered an attorney fee.
Because even though the attorney paid it and you repaid him
the fee for hush money is as
is not an attorney fee payment okay he
lied about that and that's where he got his 34 slaps 34 slaps interfacing we
all know like immediately after this he's gonna do a press conference he's gonna

(03:52):
say it's rigged he's gonna say what we're witnessing right now is the worst
thing in this country, the worst thing.
Well, his son, so they all, his two sons and daughter, one daughter was there,
at his sentence or at the hearing yesterday and they had a press conference.
And the, I forget which one he is. He's crying.

(04:14):
Yeah. Right. One of them was talking about, he was there the entire time.
And he said that this isn't right.
We are right. We are white.
And we shouldn't be charged like that. That's what he said. He said that on the interview.
He was publicized and they were playing it over and over on the media last night.

(04:35):
I think, okay, I know exactly what you're talking about because later on.
But I think he slipped on the white part, but he really said what he wanted to say.
Oh my goodness, yeah. We're white. We shouldn't be charged like that. Wow.
We're rich and powerful. We shouldn't be charged like this.
I think he also was at that Trump, speaking of like lying, because this man
is, this is all he pretty much does is lie.

(04:55):
He said that he had like a 35,000 person press, not press, but a rally in the Bronx.
Oh, yeah. They panned the camera and they said he only had like maybe a thousand people there.
And not to mention the licensing that you have to get before you do these events
only allowed him to have the maximum of 3,500 people there.

(05:20):
Wow. There was definitely not more than what I could count. I would say he had a good crowd.
35,000, that's a far stretch. Did you see the crop work that they did on the
media pages? Oh, yeah, I seen it.
They cut out or lowered the background or took shots that angled down so it
looked like there was more.

(05:42):
It doesn't matter how many times you take a picture of a crowd of 10 people,
it's still a crowd of 10 people. And allegedly they used some of Barack Obama's crowd.
Was it Biden's crowd? Oh, they used some of his and cropped it in to make Trump.
Anyway, this man, like, no matter how much we slice it.
I think the craziness of this, again, is somebody getting convicted for 34 felony

(06:06):
white-collar crime, no matter what the hell it is.
And he's still eligible to run for presidency.
America has, like Beyonce said, America, we got a problem.
We do. That's why, I mean, next year I'm going to run.
I'm going to put my name on the list. You might as well. But I also,
with these 34 felony counts, the key word there being felony,

(06:27):
I feel like this could disqualify him once he's sentenced.
But what, to me, I think, knowing this, is like, what good does it do when this
man has literally poisoned pretty much half of the country?
He went and dug a lot of people who felt disenfranchised by this country,
who are white, and I'm just going to call it, this is not, you know, I'm not racist by far.

(06:51):
Arms are speaking facts and he got these people
really truly believing in the government is crooked these are
people who live in the backwoods or
have backwood mentalities i'll say and they
really feel like white people have been pushed to
the side i even listened to one of the they do
these you have you ever watched on youtube they

(07:11):
do these things where they go out and yeah people to interview yeah
one lady said that she turned her tv on and
the reason why she wants to vote for donald trump is because
i turn my tv on and there's like so many
different languages i can't keep up with it what this
country's just going crazy well she has to turn it off tell the moon don't know
life it's called cable i'm gonna call it a b word it's called cable boo yeah

(07:38):
tabbing cable because even if you go to other countries newsflash they can look
at tv that speaks other different, even in China, boo.
Oh, and that's the thing that I don't like about how some people travel to other
countries. They expect...
To speak english everywhere and then they get mad when they can't communicate
with the locals but it's like look you're in

(07:59):
france they don't speak english like that's
not that's the second language to them and i've seen people get mad i'm like
you crazy you go to japan and you're mad because you can't understand what they're
saying right when you take a second language in school the very first thing
your teacher professor tells you is that you need to learn this because when
you visit that country no one's going
to speak the language i think it's beautiful that we live in a country

(08:22):
that we have to take time to get
to know one another and embrace each other's culture it's
the beauty of being in america because you don't get
that in other countries right i think truly what
needs to happen is i hate to say like my
grandma always said the old people just need to die off and y'all
ignore the fire truck i was gonna

(08:43):
say i feel like i feel like the sirens started happening right when we started
talking about trump and he's like building look is he here shut it all down
I'm like have they already started riding cause they orange man and got too
soon too soon civil war has started today,
is the purge not the tornado warning today at noon it will start the purge for 12 hours.

(09:11):
You haven't held midnight to commit any because Cheeto got convicted not Cheeto,
President Cheeto I just think again And people need to embrace what this country is.
And again, newsflash white people, you are not from this country.
You came here. You took over a country that wasn't yours.
You definitely destroyed these people's way of life.

(09:34):
And then now you want people to come in and respect you and,
oh, this is my country. This is that we fall apart.
No, we've done a lot of bad stuff in this country to get this country.
Country i think we have to now change things
and just start being more positive and start loving on
each other a little more and and we government is
failing us like i'm not going to say like from either side i don't think that

(09:57):
government isn't failing us i think democrats are not doing a good job at least
we don't see what they're doing and they are doing a good job especially when
it comes to campaigning i don't know anything good that the democrats do but
what i have been flooded with on
the news when I watch the news is the Trump case and the border.
That's all we're seeing.

(10:18):
So it's like you give the room, they're pretty much giving this man a platform
to take all the attention, even to the point where they said Joe Biden right now is losing the,
The black vote, like most black people, people of color in this country said
they don't plan on voting at all.
That's it. That says a lot. Since day one, I feel like that's been his entire

(10:40):
platform. It doesn't really matter what Chester Cheeto is saying.
He's just trying to be in front of the camera on Twitter or sorry,
X on social media. He just needs to be seen.
It doesn't matter what he's saying. I know a lot of drag queens here,
honey, that are exactly like Cheeto.
Go we're gonna start calling them chesters with
chester cheese cheddar better

(11:04):
is not better cheddar is not better anyway trump
has been convicted we're gonna see what's gonna happen and
i guess we'll fill you in as the news keeps on
the flowing honey all right i guess
it's time to talk about something probably a little bit more entertaining i
guess it's kind of entertaining anyway but i've totally been
enjoying seeing all the videos of the celebrities

(11:26):
like turning up on the security at the the can
the cans festival in france it's crazy
first of all how do you not recognize because that's what i feel like she didn't
recognize kelly roland she clearly did because she had the platinum hair yeah
so it was like when i saw the video i was like okay she clearly doesn't see

(11:47):
that that's kelly roland i don't think she cares if they're never well well Well,
after seeing multiple videos of her doing the same thing to other celebrities,
yeah, finally I'm like, okay, she just don't care.
She's a hater. She's a hater. But there are videos of other celebrities actually
being able to, and they said it was just white, but Eva Longoria is not white, honey.
She also got to walk on the carpet.

(12:07):
She got to turn around. She got to take a picture without that security blocking her view.
I don't know if it was just another day. How long does the festival last?
It's like a three or a multi. I think it's like multiple... It's multiple days.
I think the Cannes Festival nowadays is longer than...
I think it's three days, supposedly. At carpet events. Yeah.

(12:29):
Yeah, and I think it's supposed to be, like, big when it comes to fashion and
everything, too, correct?
Well, it definitely has grown into that because now that the Can-Fim Festival
has become one of the biggest festivals, period, in the world.
Like, everyone wants to go to Cannes. Everyone wants to win at Cannes.
You never have to win your millions and jillions in the movie theaters if you

(12:50):
get 10 stars at Cannes, you know?
Okay. Oh, it's a few days off. so this year
it ran from may 14th through the 25th oh
yeah oh yeah the film festival the only way
i knew because palm springs usually has like a week film festival
that they do down there so i'm like oh oh interesting
i didn't know old man fest i love that celebrities

(13:12):
go down there and they do that whole spiel too they like premiere shit
i think they did the no dar good something darling the harry styles movie with
oh that sounds like something old gays would love yeah don't worry darl old
gays don't just go to palm springs you obviously know that right i know that
what i can tell you that i saw in palm springs was only old gays.

(13:35):
I saw a family with some kids. I was like, children, what? We were there almost
a week. And I saw children one time.
You know what? That is true. That is so true. The only time you see kids is
if you go like towards downtown Palms.
Strokeville. Yeah. You got to go to the Stroke area. Like more east.
Yeah. The more hetero area. I saw this one dad. He just looked annoyed.

(13:56):
Like he was like, I should have came here by my damn self.
You could just tell. His kids was loud. His wife was just spending all his money.
You could just tell. he was like the next time i'm coming here alone he wants
to go to the gay boss yeah heck yeah,
he went he went to hit up that tool truck and what tool truck i don't know tool
shed that's it you already you was tipsy when you went it's okay you know girl

(14:19):
you're the one that likes to go he anybody know anything about me they know
i like mine's young honey i don't do all of that.
Speaking of young i don't like i don't do yeah no this is your time about the
northwest performance at the
hollywood bowl of the lion king boo i saw the video and i'm not gonna lie,

(14:43):
i don't have none against the kids but that was terrible
as a professional as a professional you need
to practice you need to make sure you're ready having said
that they look like they were were having fun and was
enjoying themselves i wish i was at
a level where i could have my kids have that type of experience in you
know they call it a nepotism performance for sure and that's okay

(15:06):
though because just be real about it because when kids try out for things in
school if they can't sing they teachers gracefully tell them that they can't
do oh you can be you're on the tech state or you can be you can be one of the
trees or the plants listen and you better be the most a thickening tree that ever sprouted.
Yeah, that's what people pointed out on, I'm going to call it Twitter still because...

(15:28):
That's my og but people were saying you know you had these kids that you know we saw the lion king,
like a month or two ago and was she in the actual production
it's the hollywood bowl it's a yeah there's it's a
was it the broadway production it is the broadway yeah
yeah that's why people were like wow like there's kids that
trained so hard for this and they lost that to literally

(15:49):
north and you know that's where people were kind of like it's
big it's like it is not just like a little small theater having a
concert there is like having a concert at madison square
garden wow yeah wow yeah okay so clearly
well clearly she got the kim kardashian side
of the talent oh of course she got pushed in because of her fans she
didn't get she she didn't get the talent from kanye with

(16:09):
signing because that's you know what though i think she did because that kind
of remind me of high school dropout did he sing he did sing a little bit he
didn't well high school dropout his sing a little bit though yeah a lot he did
a little bit singing but it was mostly rap But he was coming out with that album,
and I feel like she's trying to come out.
But also, The Lion King, one of the most children's-viewed movies of all time,

(16:35):
has been remade so many times.
Well, at least they're going to learn real young what fighting cats sound like.
I know five-year-olds that know that. That's singing, honey.
Oh, that was screeching. Please stop.
She a child. I'm not reading her. I'm reading the singing.
She clearly, again, did not get the talent from Kanye West. Maybe she's going
to be a good fashion designer.

(16:56):
She could. Design clothes, honey, because her little outfit was cute.
Or a businesswoman. I maintain that maybe...
The child wasn't the best fit for that role at the time that it was being produced.
But it's nice that a parent was able to get their child into something that
iconic and that legendary with little to no effort. If you could look at it like that.

(17:21):
But we live in the age of social media. And them cheering is wearing her out.
We live in the age of Donald Trump.
Yeah. I'm thinking of it from Chris Jenner's perspective.
Like, oh yes, Kim, put her in that because it's going to steer buzz and it's
going to bring relevancy to our name. It's a whole marketing kind of thing.
Well, yeah. I mean, that's what Chris does. That's what she does.
Chris don't care what the venue is. If we're in there, we're in there.

(17:44):
She took her daughter's porn and made her daughter rich from it. Like, literally.
She's the one that released it. Ray J even made a lot of money from that.
Oh, I know. We were talking about it on Xbox Live when that tape dropped.
Oh, you remember that? all that boring tape it was boring it was boring and
relevant 10 years later it was yeah and still relevant yeah it's still real

(18:07):
because i think it's only relevant because kim kardashian literally.
Chris jenner took lemons and made lemonade no pun intended honey she sure did
i mean like what parent would not be i cannot imagine that she was too happy
about kim doing something like that with what they were trying to do with her
because she was just like Paris Hilton's assistant in those days, right?

(18:29):
Yeah. Her dresser. Yeah. So, I don't think she was proud of that.
It's crazy because I hate to admit it but I used to watch Keeping Up with the
Kardashians way back in the day and I used to look at the little forums and
all that stuff and I actually read something that was like, well, technically.
Even though Chris was already working before that, her career came from that sex tape.

(18:49):
No one would know. Absolutely. Besides the trial, no one would know who Chris was.
And now she's also managing like Cardi B and all kinds of- Yeah,
no, no, no. She has mega names under her belt now.
She's doing a great job at managing those. Because again, people like Cardi
B who came out of nowhere and she's getting all kinds of deals and been all

(19:09):
a part of all kinds of TV shows and Super Bowl commercials. That's a big deal.
Well cardi didn't really come out of nowhere she was on love and hip-hop forever
that's the out of nowhere boo everybody's not watch love
and hip-hop i didn't watch love and hip-hop i feel like that's where
she started that's a it's a physical point in history
that you can say that's where cardi but not everybody is going to be able to

(19:31):
reference cardi from love and hip-hop some people are only going to be able
to say oh the rapper cardi b period or stripper period well you heard it here
first when they say where did cardi come from she came from love and hip-hop
she was a stripper that got on Love & Hip Hop, yeah.
Yeah, but I knew she was a stripper. That's the whole reason why she was on
Love & Hip Hop because she was making Invasion of Privacy through the show, wasn't that?

(19:53):
She said that she, you know, and we'll get back on the horrible singing,
but she said it was horrible.
She said that she took money from stripping. She saved it up.
She went to college. People didn't know that she went and graduated.
And she saved up all her money, invested into her mixtape, invested into her

(20:14):
first music video paid for everything by the way for bodak yellow and it blew.
Kudos to cardi b because again like i enjoy
speaking of like going back to chris jenner just seeing
powerful women i enjoy seeing them take something like
that and making gold out of it chris jenner
again i can imagine she putting her grandbaby up

(20:34):
there even though she probably sat down and was like oh this jacket
not saying people still talking about it people
still talking about it just like just like her mama boring
sex tape there you go it's the truth though
we get it the only thing I actually took
issue with the performance was was that the actual
outfit that no not that looked

(20:57):
like something that they ordered and what was it the kid in the sweatshirt yeah
that's what it looked like at all and he has like paint or something on him
right okay okay because that's that was my question I was like that don't look
like no the outfit she just came out to sing just that well.
We're telling you don't do that no more

(21:19):
speaking of sex tape have you guys seen sexy red make an appearance on wwe this
past week no not interested i didn't i did not see not interested i don't even
look at wrestling anymore sexy red that's the booty hole brown yeah Oh,
that's her. That was her hit.

(21:41):
That was her hit. Look, I'm a sexy red, again, do your thing,
girl, because she took an industry, a market that is like baddies and all that
ratchetness, and they're making money from it because people are entertained by it right now.
And no matter what people say, I see so many Caucasians out here quoting sexy red lyrics.
So she's doing something right. I'm not mad at her. and another example of someone

(22:07):
turning lemons into lemonade. So get it sexy.
Get it sexy. Even though I will not be watching. I remember when Houndtown first
came out and I was playing it and you're like, I hate this so much.
This girl's not going to be successful after this song. I know.
Yeah, I said it was trash. But then I forgot the world that we live in,

(22:27):
that I'm not in the 80s anymore.
Or early 90s. No, I recently seen a reel of somebody performing that song last
weekend, and people were mouthing the words.
Yeah. And the answer was just like, cringe.
More of the audience members knew the words than the person.
Than the person that was lip syncing it. Boom. Yes, I know exactly what you're

(22:48):
talking about. Hallelujah.
Oh, you seen that one too? Get it sexy. sexy i'm not
even gonna say what i was gonna say now so y'all just made it shady but but
again but again aaron is
right like people literally like mouthing it
word for word so again and she's different from
the other ladies that are out here right now sexy red

(23:09):
is so different the other girls are talking about the same
thing she's just saying it in a different way i think also
another artist that i can give some kudos glorilla another artist
loves just so different out of all the the
ladies that we got right now yeah i'm sexy i'm
not hating on you boo i'm not gonna watch but get
it sexy it is sexy get your check girl i will say this i appreciate that she

(23:35):
can come up from speaking her mind she gives her experiences she's ghetto she's
ratchet she's from the hood that's what her music sounds like and you love her
for it and you and it rep and yeah represent.
That's what i present music is music is supposed to be
you know a representation of who you are and she somebody there's
a market for ratcheting didn't you say that she purposely will

(23:57):
say like outrageous answers and interviews because she knows
because she know people will troll her yeah she said it she said it i say things
that make you say because i know you're gonna pay attention to it i know it
may gross you out because that's why i say it she said it she said because look
what you're doing now in a breakfast breakfast club interview she said you You
were talking about what I said,

(24:18):
even though I'm not serious about the issues. Like, that's not something I would do.
I mean, again, get it sexy, good marketing. I'm not mad at her at all. Yeah, sexy, sexy.
I feel like we talk about sexy red a lot on here. I mean, I'm becoming a wee
bit of a fan. Wee bit of a fan.
Because it keeps coming up. I even bought me a long red wig.

(24:40):
Seriously, Flo Hair and Beauty, they named the wig after moi, Sasha.
But I feel like getting it sexy. Yes, come on, Sasha. I need to get a Sasha.
Give me a sexy song. Yeah, it's called The Sasha and Flow Hair and Beauty.
I just need more. I would need more music to get into sexy rap. Boo, I'm an Aaron.

(25:02):
I would never truly, genuinely get into it. But you give me a few cocktails
and a blunt, I'd be a twerker just like everybody.
Oh, I would be too. Just as much as anybody else on a dance floor.
That one song. But if you're like, oh, let's listen to her album,
I'd be like. I would not. Yeah, I'm the same.
I don't think what I could do. Just put this on repeat twice. I could not do it sober.

this podcast, so if you hear this podcast, that means it's Friday,

(26:09):
I'm still listening to like what?
Like what? Speaking of like what, y'all, Lizzo has a commercial in South Park.
I was on the TikTok and stumbled across it.
And then we were sitting on the couch together, right, Greg?
Were we sitting on the couch and I stumbled? I was kind of cracking up, y'all.
Anyway, they were talking about, I think they're making fun of like this whole

(26:31):
Ozempic era about looking weight.
And they said, if you really don't want to be concerned about your weight, you should take Lizzo.
You should try Lizzo, yeah. Lizzo. That is so mean. And then they even referenced
her, bitch, I don't give two shits.
I've been on Lizzo and now I don't give two shits about my obesity.
Lizzo thinks it's hilarious. You know, she did not take it personally.

(26:54):
I'm sure she's going to flip this and make some kind of good marketing or something.
They looked dark in the video at first, but then she was like, y'all, I guess I made it.
Like, look, I don't give a shit, bitch. I'm going to do what I want to do.
If they're making fun of you in South Park, you made it. That's what I was going to say. Yeah.
You know you made it when South Park makes fun of you. Yeah.
South Park don't make fun of people who are not relevant.

(27:15):
The Kardashians have been a part of it. I think even the housewives have made
their face. They made fun of Kanye. Kanye West. Donald Trump.
From pop culture yeah anything from pop culture my favorite south park even
though i really don't feature the show is when they did the game of thrones
christmas black friday thing oh hilarious,

(27:36):
hilarious and you remember they're walking and they were all humming the uh
team song yeah cartman taking everybody on the walk making deals like back to
back to back deals like if you do this for me i'll do this for you and he had
like everybody in town doing stuff it was that That was a good episode.
Yeah, that was a really good episode. If you want to see the Lizzo,

(27:56):
the oh, oh, oh, it's Lizzo commercial.
You can see it on TikTok. It's cute. It's cute. And Lizzo is not,
she ain't bothered about it at all.
And neither should we be. Well, after all of her drama recently,
I wouldn't be bothered either. It's like.
I'm just trying to have fun. You want to talk about drama? Did you want to talk

(28:16):
about Nicki Minaj getting locked up in Europe?
Oh, my goodness. Okay. She was in Amsterdam, right?
Yeah. Is that Europe? Yeah. Yeah. I'm really bad at geography.
It's okay. Like, you don't have to be. It's the weed, too, honey.
All of us are pretty bad at geography. So the first thing. Europe's a continent,
isn't it? Yeah. It's a continent.

(28:38):
We'll figure it out, honey. Better. What did you have to say? I'm so sorry.
The first thing I want to say about that is that we as Americans and those of
us as people of color from America, we have to remember that every other country
that you go to has their own set of rules.
You cannot go to Germany and live and act and be like this as America because

(29:04):
clearly you will get shut down and they don't care who you are.
That's nikki minaj okay and
he was like you're going to jail today yeah and
she was like i'm not going he was like no you're going to jail
girl the edits where they literally slam it
and they put the spongebob music like hilarious it's
hilarious it ain't funny it's funny but the

(29:26):
sad part about it is the fact that i genuinely feel
like if she wasn't a person of color it
wouldn't have been as big an issue it wouldn't be talked about
it wouldn't have been a meme or on instagram you know
what i mean oh no because that shit happens every day yeah and the
shade of it all is that these people ended up going
to this concert in manchester and expecting a concert name literally there in

(29:51):
the arena and over this loudspeaker they oh the concert has been canceled like
postponed that's yeah postponed can you i would be so pissed right right Right,
I'm standing there in all my pink.
Especially if she wants to be covered in pink. But she is doing a second leg
of her tour. People are really hype about it.

(30:11):
I mean, go Nicki, too. Again, Nicki's fans are diehard.
I'm sure as pissed as they are, they're still going to return to Manchester,
wherever she's playing at, to see her.
Nicki, don't be taking pre-rolls in your bag, honey. No, in Amsterdam, you can buy that there.
You can buy it and smoke it, but you can't travel with it. Those are the rules
there. OK, so this is what the really sucky part.

(30:31):
This is where I felt for her. You can hear clearly on the video.
She's like, those aren't even mine. I don't even smoke. That's my security.
I just packed it in my bag. It's not mine. It's just packed.
And the fact that it's pre-rolls. But here in America, that's fine.
You know what I'm saying? TSA, either throw it away or leave it alone.
Now, let's do some detective work.

(30:52):
Nicki Minaj's security went up to Nicki Minaj and was like, I got these pre-rolls,
Nicki. I really want to take this.
You're Nicki Minaj. They're not going to check your bag. Can I put these in there? Probably.
And she said, oh, yeah, go ahead and put them in there. Literally.
Put them in there. Run, man. Because that'd be my question now is why didn't he put it in his bag?
Because he knew they was going to- Because his asshole gets straight arrested for real.

(31:12):
Because Nicki, her status definitely helped her in this situation.
Any other, we would have been in jail. They wouldn't play with us.
Yeah, unless we had the money to get ourselves out in some countries you go
straight to prison Like and then you wait to get your court.
Yeah, the basketball player from the WNBA She in prison for six months.

(31:35):
Yeah. Yeah because she had a vape she had a heart Yeah, like she was almost
gonna live out like a nine-year sentence.
Yeah, imagine It's not hard labor camp.
Like this is in prison like you locked up in one cell for 23 hours a day no
they put your ass to work you work there like in other countries the prison
the reason why a lot of shit's clean is because they make the prison workers

(31:58):
do it as it should be like i think if you're convicted i mean you know not to
segue off of the subject of that but just to add on to it.
You should be i think if you're convicted of a crime i was just talking to greg
the other day about like the shootings and all the different convictions with
that why not put the ass in the military like you know you're having problem
with people enlisting in the military these people love Go to war,

(32:20):
survive, and that's your sentence.
Exactly. Let them give back to their country by doing something actually good for it and defending it.
Since you like to shoot guns, you're good at it, let's put you to work.
You get convicted of things, I'm going to have you cleaning up.
You know, you could be it's a lot of things that I feel like we're not doing
a good job when it comes to our prison systems that we can take a note from these other countries.

(32:42):
The reason why the crime rates are so low is because these people don't go to
jail and sit and watch Oprah Winfrey and cable TV and eat three meals a day.
You have to earn it. You commit a crime.
You definitely don't have time if you're in another country. You just gave me an idea.
So Donald Trump is getting convicted of all those felonies.

(33:02):
Imagine him in the jumpsuit the
jumpsuit with the little picker upper track
doing trash on the highway i would you know what
personally i would do that to him because that would
be he would hate that more than being in prison yeah because
going to prison for donald trump is a campaign requiring him to
do 12 hours of community service 15 hours a

(33:23):
day every day exactly to pay off his
debt that is a perfect ass see again using
our system to actually get these people where they heard this man hasn't done
manual labor a day in his life well these three bags they should be full in
two hours well if you let stormy daniels tell it he has done some manual labor

(33:44):
okay he spanked him with the newspaper oh yeah she was doing the manual.
Message can you imagine what they were like honey yeah read the news anyway
nikki minaj Do you want the times? Congrats on your second leg of your tour.
I hope it's successful. I'm glad she's out of jail.

(34:05):
And don't be sticking them on pre-rolls in your bag, girl, because you can't do that everywhere.
Your status doesn't get you a get out of jail free card. Before we move on,
I miss this. Did she ever actually go to jail?
They put the bars on her. She got arrested. She was arrested briefly.
They arrested her in the airport.
But, like, they took her downtown to the police precinct? Yes. Never.

(34:27):
Yeah. Not for Queen. Well, it's, so it's an airport, so they have their own
police force there that can do everything. Okay, right. So they didn't leave the airport.
But what I'm seeing is that the airport police is where she got arrested.
Right. Which is just as briefly arrested in the police. Because he got the lawyer,
yes. The few videos I saw were all of her, the man telling her,

(34:51):
you have to get in the van. The paddy wagon is what it looked like.
And we're going to go downtown because she was like, well, how far?
He was like, it's just a couple blocks. And she was like, well,
I'm not riding here. I will ride in my car.
And he was like, no, you have to get in here because you're arrested. And she was like, no.
So as far as I understand it, she never actually got physically taken in.

(35:11):
She did end up going into that little like car caching and they like.
Like no paddy wagon no paddy wagon
no i would never i will be just like nikki i'm
not going in there girl i will wait here you got in there or she
was gonna be in jail in amsterdam darling well after she
got all them likes and subscribes on instagram of course she got in there she

(35:31):
sure did she was gonna get in that boom they was not nikki minaj does not have
the same status she has in this country so true and i yeah i understand that
the way it is i understand it but with her Her being from America and her being the queen. Okay.
I'm not getting in there. I don't blame her. I'm not getting you about to arrest me. That's fine.
But you finna pull a fricking black car around here and take me to prison girl.

(35:54):
Her lawyer said on the, to when she called him or when whoever called him,
it's like, you need to get in there and just comply with what's going on right
now to not shake the table.
No, you can bring a patrol car or something that's more elegant for me to get in.
I'm not getting in the fricking dog catcher van.
You're under arrest. You don't get to choose. Right. You're just making it worse.

(36:19):
I'm not picking Trump up in a Bentley police car to take him to jail.
I'm picking him up in whatever's running.
Yeah. Okay, but they do have black cars and SUVs and everything that is definitely capable.
I will go without a fight, but I'm only getting into the nicest cars that you have.
In Minneapolis, they have some really nice cars.

(36:41):
You can take me in one of those. I'm not getting in the paddy wagon.
I hope she's doing all right because, you know, I'm happy she's back home with
her kid and her, I don't even talk about her man, honey, but I'm happy she's back.
She's okay. Talk about being arrested. Don't be taking parole in your bag, girl.
Your status is not the same out of country. I'm sure you know that.
Okay? Here's what I think.

(37:02):
$67 million and over 439 tickets sold. She can pay that fine.
Hell yeah. She did pretty good for herself.
Yeah. She'll be fine. I'm paying the fine so I don't have to get in the paddy.
At least she can finally write a song about actually getting and going to jail.
And I'm done. And she's officially, she's officially up again.

(37:22):
She finally got that clout. She finally got that clout off.

Speaking about enjoy, I don't know if you know, I just learned about Tinashe not too long ago.

(38:57):
My partner loves Tinashe. Yeah. And.
Not to here, but I did learn that. What's that song? Nasty, nasty, girl.
Nasty. Yeah, I get to watch her like a woman said to Coachella live on YouTube, too.
Oh, my gosh, you guys. I am so sad. I have been going to Coachella from 2012
up until last year, 2023.

(39:19):
And the one year that I wasn't able to attend was when my fave finally was able
to get her spot on the stage.
And she held it. Girl, we supposed to be talking about the weed.
It's so interesting. She's been performing for so long, and yet I have no clue
who she is. It's crazy. She's having her renaissance right now.
Oh, what? That's what people are saying, because the song really did put her back on the map.

(39:42):
And she just had a little... Speaking of renaissance, she got her own strand
of... What? Yeah, listen.
What is she called? The green tea? The little dick name. I'm smoking it.
Launching in the summer. Now, Greg, you know Tinashe.
If she's going to bring out weed, do you think she's going to have a nasty girl?
Girl what what names would you think some well so

(40:03):
and the nasty that's what the
song's called and the song nasty she has a lyric where she
said is somebody gonna match my freak and all
of us are saying she has to name a strand freak so that
way they can be like is somebody gonna match my freak okay
like what else would you think give us those because we we're learning
about tonight he's gonna have a definitely a strand aquarius because she's an

(40:24):
aquarius aquarius okay i could see that yeah she's in the graves like i see
her having a strand of weed one of her i would i would definitely imagine her
one of the strains being called sunburn because that's one of her og songs that
like her i'm not gonna smoke that.
I'm smoking i'm not smoking every i'm smoking aquarius sunburn
i want to smoke freak for sure freak i'm oh

i'll make sure that i grab us some tinashe weed
so we can sample it together hopefully it's out by then and i

(41:06):
promise you i won't smoke it i bet you she's going to roll that out quickly because
they already got like she said summer and according to that
one picture it was a couple weeks ago which that stuff looked like
it was pretty ready to harvest yeah so we'll probably see that but
i guess i was showing people this one yeah i'm gonna think of this picture every
time i smoke it too i know i'm like that wasn't she on a wasn't she on a show

(41:28):
a weird show on hulu that we were watching eo where we know mars the mars mission
show what was it it was Portia Williams.
Oh, no. She was on the show. Yes, it was. They were like supposed to be like out of space. Yeah.
That was actually a cool ass show. It was a cool show.
Yeah. They had a, was it Michael Vick?

(41:49):
Oh, it wasn't Michael. It wasn't a football player. It wasn't Michael Vick.
It was a football player. It was.
But I know what show you're talking about. It was a bunch of celebrities.
What'd you say? Stars on Mars. Is that the name? That's it. Yeah, that's it. That's it.
That is it. And it was a bunch of different random celebrities.
That was the first time being introduced to her.
And then also, Greg was telling me the other day that there was a song that

(42:09):
I actually liked that I was listening to.
What was I singing? You remember I was singing it?
And I was like, what was it? It's Too On, right? I loved it. Yeah.
I did not. You know, I don't know why I thought Cassie sang that forever.
No. I did too. I did too. That sounds like a Cassie song. I thought it was Cassie.
Yeah. I'm sorry. I can understand.

(42:30):
Well, that's like, I would say that's a really nice compliment because Cassie's,
you know, I would say I'm pretty OG. And you know what?
I used to bop to that song and shout out to my sister, Mercedes Iman Diamond,
who used to perform the hell out of that song.
Like i think she still did that was like
how i got into it y'all because i love singing he performed
at the saloon block party oh uh

(42:53):
zach and her two on
days and wow what was that other
hit what was the other one no i'm
good i missed it it's the weed child y'all
just just to make things clear y'all we on round
well yes hands hands up to tinashe
doing her thing out here i'm about to smoke freak i do know hands on deck too

(43:16):
crazy like that i thought i'm not gonna lie i thought didn't she sing something
about the shooting stars in the sky or something like that or like no that was
haley williams if we don't listen to that airplane no no no not that spot.
I'm not gonna make a wish right now I don't know I'll think about it tonight

(43:36):
at like 10 o'clock and then I'll just mess it's gonna okay as soon as you lay
down to close your eyes it's gonna you know you can y'all let me tell you something
this is a meme where he closes his eyes and,
Yep. Literally, this is how high I am. I'm watching an auction,
a jewelry auction, because I'm a true drag queen. I'm multitasking.
I want to try to get me some jewelry, so I'm watching an auction on silence. Let me see that, girl.

(43:59):
And my girl at Looks, that's L-E-W-K-S, makes wonderful jewelry.
I get a lot of my bling bling from there. You spend a lot of money there. I know.
She treats me well, though. She treats me well. That's why we don't have a pup
yet. She treats me well. Because she has me good. Puppy. Yeah,
I got plenty of puppy's jewelry, honey.

(44:20):
Bow wow. Congratulations. I hope your weed is freakalicious.
Yes. That gets me, I love to get turned on. That's what I want to feel like
when I smoke your weed. Congratulations, diva.
Sabrina Carpenter. The only thing I know about Sabrina Carpenter,
I watched her again on Coachella.

(44:40):
That was my first time being introduced there because if
y'all know listen to this podcast you know i'm 43 years old
and some of these celebrities are literally above
my head honey i don't know they're young can you fill
us in about serena so people probably don't recognize
it because she's you know probably had some work a
little more work done on her face but she started out on that spinoff

(45:02):
of boy meets world girl meets world he is
that the main blonde chick from she's disney girl
she's the girl that meets world yeah she is
yeah i did not know that one of our
i say she's one of ariana grande's sons because they have the
same vocal coach so sometimes they sound alike
when they sing her mother honey i know i'm

(45:22):
greg no shade to her but remember we
watched her live on coachella i did not think he was a
strong singer i didn't say she was bad but when it comes to
ari and her i just don't think it just sucks
because i will say in the defense of the artists that perform at Coachella it
was windy as fuck and it fucks up their throats but she is the girl with the

(45:42):
expresso song that's out and really like that's her highest hit song right now
ever that's been on the charts is she the voice of Sophia the first,
so what the hell is that it's a it's a kid show I just saw it up there oh boo I don't know I've never.
I've never watched I used to

(46:03):
babysit okay oh okay the reason
why you're talking about her bringing her up because she just
recently performed on the bbc radio and they
asked her because she's really known for her nonsense song the outros and she
specifies like each one at like a location she did on her tour and what she

(46:23):
does like performances with it sometimes she gets a little raunchy and so bbc
we're like hey cannot you know do that,
And so her outro came out when she performed and she said, BBC said I should keep it PG.
BBC, I wish I had it in me. Okay. There's a double meaning if you dig deep.

(46:46):
What? She said that. Yeah. So my thing is, BBC.
They asked you not to do it. Well, I'm not going to lie. That's brilliant.
She said, I'm not going to wear anything around you, but i'll just
make lyrics that are like on the borderline because a
kid would not catch it right away but
adults we all like what no use the words

(47:07):
bbc i wish i had it in me she won't be
invited back honey oh they were but some people are saying why is she saying
that when she has a white boyfriend scandal well that's why she's singing it
because she has a white she will not because the people that get the meaning
of bbc will get a different version of that song you know exactly Yeah,

(47:29):
BBC, I wish I had it in me. That'd take long for me to get it all.
But for those that are there, it's just maybe her telling the BBC that he didn't
have it in her to be what he wanted them to be. Does she want more tea and crumpets?
It's the BBC. Is it the basic broadcasting channel or the British broadcasting channel?

(47:53):
Sitting in the audience, BBC, I wish I had that in me. me what did she was like
she wanted to be more british yeah i want some of that idris elba.
He's british he is british he sure is oh no wow blizzle you done started something,
wow i am done done done well sabrina will not be in ratchet back honey i don't

(48:17):
they will not be sitting down having tea with her it won't work for you i want
it unchecked girl you not
taylor swift honey you can't be doing stuff like that y'all know if she was
taylor swift people would be singing that shit right now they'd be like bbc

Oh, my goodness. It was so tasty. The goodness of the biscuit.
The silver fern got it going on. It's chill. I like the environment.

Placed spaces that are queer friendly and safe for us to go and commingle and be bougie.

I think you would genuinely enjoy it, just because it's hard to explain.

(59:00):
But I mean, going to EDC, I can only... And you like festivals, though. I do.
Like, EDC has always been something I wanted to go to, and it worked out. We were able to go.
I went into it with absolutely no expectations, just ready to have fun.
Right. It was massive. massive like
just getting out the the first

(59:21):
time going in i mean we got the the
thing about that is the the big thing we learned was
private car transportation like having somebody
scheduled pickups to come get us because
transportation in and out of there sucked vegas yeah
but also like
getting into it like it's a gone no it's in

(59:43):
the strip it is on the it's on the strip yeah it's
at las vegas motor speed yeah it's like
so that makes it even that makes it even more like of an experience
because you got yeah he knows all right there well it's i mean it's a little
bit a ways from the strip okay like on a normal day probably like a 30 minute
drive edc week like it was an hour and a half two hours at time for us to get

(01:00:04):
there like we would get to the last half mile and that would take the longest
part of the entire trip that's
amazing i think we want to try something like this but edc is is so much fun
they have over 10 stage 10 big stages just djs just djs oh all night long starting
at 6 p.m going till 6 a.m i just want a good reason to wear me they had a drag

i mean when we walked in i saw a leaked picture of like the alcohol prices edc
and i don't know it was like a leaked picture i mean because like he'd be on

(01:00:48):
twitter honey yeah it was like because i don't know if they were just like prices
of full bottles but they're like.
Anything from like four to nine hundred dollars depending on like the brand
name like it was bottle service like oh that's straight bottle oh bottle service
was like minimum 3500 damn and And like the one bottle,
it was like three, the one package, it was three bottles. It was like $98,000.

(01:01:11):
I'm like, go pay for a three-day bath. Did you say $3,800?
$3,800, yeah. For a bottle service. No. At EDC. Oh, no, darling. But we did VIP.
We were told VIP was a good way to go. We went with a bunch of other people and...
So it made it more fun. But VIP was really nice. They had the free water fill-ups.

(01:01:35):
Food options were, they weren't bad.
I mean, they had really good ones. They had like some lobster mac and cheese.
They had pizza. There was a bunch of just random shit.
I would be shit out of luck on there. I love spicy pie. No pun intended.
I'm lactose. They have street tacos.
They got all kinds of stuff. Asian food, American food. They have a variety.
It's a variety. There we go. Especially in the VIP. Can I just say,

(01:01:59):
why would they put mac and cheese up there in EDC?
I was like, oh, I know.
I'm like, it's lobster mac. I'm like, I really want to try it,
but I'm like, I'm not standing.
Like, I don't want to get stuck. And use a port-a-potty, honey. No way. VIP.
The knee's got to be strong. Yeah. Oh, no, honey. I can't use. I'll be.

(01:02:21):
VIP had. I can't. They had trailer bathrooms that were air-conditioned. Oh, VIP.
Like Coachella. Oh, yeah. I had, like, my dad got me into, like,
All Access, like, his friends.
And, yeah, they have, like, air-conditioned, like, porta-potty,
like, not porta-potty, but, like, the trailer.

(01:02:41):
I would say even if it's air-conditioned, I'm not going to put,
but. No, it's not a porta-potty. It's a trailer. Like, you go and it's,
like. They're nice. Yeah. Yeah, boo. That signed me up for that.

That's like and saloon block parties
like a festival year next year I'll

(01:03:04):
be holding 300,000 or something like that and
then right after that stagecoach which I also want to go
to one year because I like country I'm assuming Beyonce is gonna make her way
onto the headline for stagecoach in 2025 absolutely no matter how much they
hate on Cowboy Carter out on big revenue because her fans are diehards they'll
go and show up and show up for her oh yeah Yeah, no matter what Cowboy Carter is to some,

(01:03:28):
a lot of people, the majority like it. I'm definitely going to be there.
Beyonce could come. She could literally have a concert where she just stands
in a fan and just looks at me. I'm going to pay for it. Beyonce's all though.
She could lip sync the Lion King. Literally, I'm paying for it because that's the queen, honey.
Fun fact, it's not really relevant or whatever, but Beyonce's the only woman

(01:03:51):
on the Apple Music Top 100 albums of all time to have two albums on there.
And her high is being lemonade at number 10. Yeah, let's work out Beyonce.
