(00:00):
All right. Hi, darlings. Welcome to another episode of The Lemon Squeeze.
It's been a while, but I am back. Of course, I had to take me a nice little vacation.
Then, of course, getting booked and doing other things I'm not always able to do.
And I said I wanted to have an episode out every Friday, so forgive me for that.
Shit happens. But anyway, I'm here with my wonderful co-host, Mr. E.O.

(00:25):
Casadine. Beep, beep, beep. a lady camille cassidy ninja
and aaron aka stone crazy i never really leave no you're always here in the
shadows darling mr merchandise and filth all righty y'all we're gonna dive right
into it right and i'm not saying dive into it because it's p diddly.

(00:49):
So ain't even started you well honey we
gotta make a few jokes anyway i know y'all already already
know the news that pd's out homes were raided by the fbi while his children
were in his florida home and he's being accused of a number of things from sex
trafficking to drug trafficking they one of his people were arrested correct

(01:10):
yeah um brendan what was his name brendan,
brendan something yeah brendan something look
it up yeah brendan or brandon but yeah he got got arrested on one
of his planes i believe is what the article yeah on the
way as i was coming back or as they were leaving i don't know which way
they were going but i think that he was allegedly something

(01:34):
that prompted the the raid on his home that's what prompted the rest i don't
think so i think that was just a number because in order to do a raid on anybody's
home they have to build up a substantial amount of evidence and there's a lot
of planning going yeah so like Like,
they're not just going to wake up on a Monday and be like, let's go get Diddy.

(01:54):
And then it also has to be signed off by a federal judge. That means you really have to build up a case.
So this probably takes, what, like a year or so? It's probably been going on for a while, yeah.
The law moves slow. But to be clear, they didn't find anything at Diddy's house though, right?
No. At least I will say right now, we don't know what they found in Diddy's

(02:16):
house. Oh, they haven't released if they did.
Exactly. But they are continuing the investigation. So that means something was seen somewhere.
But it doesn't mean that they did find anything at Diddy's house.
I think whatever happened in Cassie's lawsuit also helped to push this forward.
Because she spilled a lot of tea.

(02:37):
Which I'm still mad about because now she ain't saying nothing and we need you more than ever.
Wait till she go to P. Diddy go to jail, honey. It'd be just like our kid.
All of it's going to come out.
No, she's going to wait 20 years and there's going to be a Netflix special. Okay.
Well, we won't care about P. Diddy by then. I don't know.
I know. I'm going to tell you this. Honestly, if they wouldn't have been talking

(02:58):
about this, we would not have discussed any of this.
Completely forgot about P. Diddy till it started. When was his last song?
Maybe. I don't even know what he does. I don't I can honestly I don't know what
he's got some good music.
But I was again, I feel like I'm always taken up for the the criminals on our show.
But I grew up loving Peter yet again, another black performer who I could look

(03:21):
up to someone that I could relate to.
He's a black man who can't nobody tell him that with his TV show, making the band.
One of my favorite reality TV shows of all. He is also one of the shows that
made me disgusted in him as a producer because you are trying to create these new artists.
But to me, in order for these new artists to flourish, I don't know about you,

(03:43):
but I know I have to feel in love with your art to shine.
You got to beat people down. But if you're beating me down and you're trying
to – and none of the people in that show had a good time, by the way.
They said – and Aubrey, Shady Aubrey, of course, they asked her how she felt
about it. She had a lot to say, darling.
She does not like P. Diddy. I mean, I don't think anybody really,

(04:05):
except for maybe Don, I think, who actually had like a hit song with him.
Yeah, I mean, let's be fair, though, Mysterio, like, you don't know what you don't know.
No, you don't know what was really going on with R. Kelly for a while.
There are known unknowns, and there are known unknowns, and then there are unknown unknowns.
And there's things that you don't know that you don't know. But like you said,

(04:26):
Camille, when they came out with the R. Kelly thing, yes, it just felt like
an attack on an incredible, you know, good Black artist.
But then you fast forward and they found out all this tea. Now,
I'm side eyeing the parents that said that their daughters were kicking it with this man.
I'm like, how does one's daughter kick it with somebody for so long and you say nothing?

(04:49):
Well, you know, just because we talked about Quiet On Set weeks ago,
you know, it kind of works in that same way.
Being next to that celebrity, most parents aren't thinking logically unless
they've been in the business already themselves.
Themselves and most of these, especially Black parents, this is something else
that has to be acknowledged, is that because Black folks have not had access

(05:09):
to those type of vicinities and environments,
when you get someone who looks like you and exists in those places comfortably, from your perspective,
nine times out of 10, you're not going to go into that relationship clearly.
Yeah, that's true. And I'm not going to say that it was the parents' fault or
it wasn't the parents' fault because we don't know what happened in those situations.
At the same time, though, it was a manipulation on.

(05:31):
Are kelly's in a manipulation on p diddy's end they
knew what they were doing right oh and everyone holds
some fault to some extent but it's one of like
i like we were saying is that you don't know what you don't know so like when these
things come out and you've said this before to me mother one person saying
something all right two people more than
three or four okay it might be true you know

(05:53):
and it's it's not like the lizzo situation where it's just
like three girls coming and after you know after
her and then one being like oh we were all lying and that completely knocks off
their case there's a sizable amount of.
People who have stories against these yeah
and yeah you know you are far-fetched though especially
like you know even jaguar right is one

(06:14):
that i listen to sometimes on you youtube uh
jaguar right she has a lot of ditty
conspiracy theories a lot of jzt like
this lady is spanting off like a lot
of stuff do we know if it's credible or not
who knows but i mean i think sometimes i think people
just doing it to be seen they're jumping on the band yeah i

(06:36):
can for the exposure and attention 100 there's no way
you're gonna have any sort of movement without someone
trying to use it for their own opportunistic and or advantageous means
you know i do think there is something with p
diddy i think you know unfortunately another black man
who's gotten rich and super successful and just forgot that you are not above
the law you're black honey you're not white and rich you're black and rich you're

(07:00):
as white as the right you're still reachable it's you know funny but most importantly
you're not above the law you're not above the law yeah it's just funny hearing
you say that because again as a diddy fan originally.
Been part of his whole spiel like i am above
the law you can't fuck with me like i'm basically god like
no they remind him that he's still oh yeah they're reminding

(07:20):
him that he's still a negro honey then pictures of
him outside the airport he was definitely reminded yeah he was but
a man you are not
donald trump and you and again a good
example and i hate to bring up like the undenounced un
un racism that we have in this country no matter
what you know as people of color we still have already these stripes that are

(07:43):
painted against us no matter what and until again we are honest about this stuff
we can really deal with this but p diddy is still a rich black man and whatever
he did wrong to whomever he did it wrong they're coming on him hard.
It's because a poc a black person is used as an example right yeah of like this

(08:05):
is this is what what could happen to stop everyone else in that specific demographic
now from doing it. Right.
But then, like you said, we have the white folks that are also doing it.
What Jeffrey Epstein got for him in documentary.
He had a four documentary Donald Trump got president, you know,
like you exactly have all these white folks.
So that is something. What's his name? Not to cut you off the movie producer,

(08:28):
the movie. He owned a big name movie guy.
He ended up faking crazy. Jay-Z was going to buy his company.
Me i forgot his name but he was like one of when the me
too movement started he was one of the first people to like really take a hit
thicker white gentleman so harvey harvey oh harvey let me tell you he's he went

(08:50):
crazy all of a sudden one minute the dude's as soon as they say court and jail
slobbing drooling wheelchair.
He was sick thinking about all them coins coming out his pocket and them kids
was hitting him and some big name actresses were like coming after him so i
think you know unfortunately that that,

(09:13):
strickling on down to p diddy who rubbed the
wrong person the wrong way and they're like okay i'll show you well and now
they're like really coming after him apparently that's what they say he did
he rubbed quite a few people the wrong oh smile guy speaking of rubbing the
wrong way you know So there is an audio recording of an alleged Meek Mills and P. Diddy entanglement.

(09:36):
Entanglement. And, baby, they was loud, honey.
I don't know if it's true or not, but if you want to hear it,
go on YouTube. I'm not going to play it now. I should start playing stuff just for, like, research.
No, I'm not going to do your thing. Baby, they was getting it in.
A new age porn, loud, like, oh, yes, give it to me, spanking everything.

(09:57):
Okay, now I'm sorry, but I can't wait.
It's on there. You're going to find it. Normally. Yes, it is.
But one thing Diddy has never been to me.
Never been no he's never been sexy ever to
me but i bet you it's the richness honey that make him look sexy oh
yes i love them doubles there you know when you're almost

(10:19):
a billionaire you're damn sexy honey what made
him sexy to me was his attitude that was part of why i like diddy he was like
i i am the baddest bitch in this room right now and he delusionalized that into
reality for himself yeah he thinks he's above he does delusionalized yes i think
he kind of does I think he also took on that Biggie Smalls personality.

(10:41):
His light seemed to not be as bright with Biggie around.
And after Biggie, it seemed like he just turned into this crazy whatever he
is. But, you know, also allegedly said that he did.
It was Clyde Davis's snack at one point in time.
This is just allegedly. Y'all led you. I'm just give you tea.
It's on you. Well, we know Clyde Davis is. You do it.

(11:03):
Mr. We do know she won the rich ones, baby. me he is a honey i can see back
there pete did it was a little cute little young thing look like y'all you can't
see this right now but i'm showing them like the recording the,
Look at the cover of it.
This looks like the next Mandingo porn. It looks like I just typed on Pornhub

(11:29):
right now. Let me see if it'll work, y'all. Well, let me see if it'll work.
We are playing this for research purposes.
We do not own the rights to this video. We just playing a little of the audio.
I'm going to play. Let me see if I can get y'all to hear it.
Because I haven't heard it. I'm not going to lie.
I'll try to find it while we're doing this i read a

(11:49):
few articles it's interesting and you know how like i'm literally
on tiktok and i'm rolling through and ran across
i was gagged honey gay that's why
you can't be scrolling too fast no because i wish i would have found
that i would have sent that in the group i was gay i know you
would have i was gagged honey but anyway
p diddly i mean is he's

(12:10):
in a lot of trouble come come come back base here that's
what you gotta out of phase just be honest because they said this man was drug
trafficking sex trafficking like my god

he learned it from vivica i'm telling you she taught him where she he used to
date vivica right yeah They had the most famous black breakup in a long time.
No, there's Will and Jada.

(13:14):
That's the best talk about what we did. Will and Jada broke up but still live
with each other. They're still...
That's why it's so famous because they still together they broke up but they're
still married they still live in the same house the kids are still there for family dinner,
maybe they didn't break up maybe they broke off but they didn't break up.

(13:37):
Oh uh will and jada so what
does that have to do with i said that 50 and jada.
Were the most famous black breakup and i
said i guess that's not true anymore it's will and jada in recent
years is what what i was saying i don't think so because i feel like
that was a big thing for 50 and and vivica
who i guarantee you can ask anybody who was not

(13:59):
a person of color how much they know
about 50 saying before breaking up it'll be
absolutely not i said black breakup and
the black celebrity i barely knew about it i'm being real
with you i barely knew about it but you knew about it
because you black because i was
looking at tmz honey by accident that's how i know girl.

(14:21):
Don't do that girl please you

don't be studying but anyway you can if you want
to know more about pete diddly we're definitely going to keep our ears
open and we will let you know more tea
when it comes in y'all crazy thing is they literally got orlando

(14:42):
brown talking about i think i'm sorry poor
orlando brown he's just cracked out he is
like some of the stuff this young man says either
he's doing it for attention because he's not getting that raven check no
more or i'm just sorry boo somehow he needs
some help just like p diddly anyway y'all that was my news about p diddly all

(15:05):
right y'all we got to talk about politics you You know how much I hate talking
about politics right now because we got two old white men running against each
other, riveting, riveting.
They're not. I mean, it's two grandpas dueling for the last biscuit. And it's really not.
Not actually being in Jersey. Larry is short. What? Donald Trump.

(15:27):
That would be a good South Park. Like, you know, a robot chicken.
Yeah, I can see it. I mean, I feel like the American population,
the American voters are being screwed out of this election this year because
we don't get any debates because candidates don't want to do it.
Like, when did that start being something? When did that start being a thing?

(15:47):
Like, oh, you got to tell me what the hell you're going to do.
I grew up thinking the debate was mandatory.
That's what I thought. Yeah, that's what I thought because it was a chance for
you to let us know why we should vote. But all of a sudden, now nobody got to debate no more. Wow.
Because nobody wants to. Well, I think that Donald Trump called Joe Biden out

(16:07):
for a debate because he thinks that he is more cognitively okay.
Which may be cognitively okay. Donald Trump does that, though.
He's calling somebody out every year.
He's ran, hasn't he? Come on out to the debate and come out and show people I'm smarter.
Well, no. I'm not going to lie. Even though I don't like the man,
he wore Hillary Clinton out in the debate. He did. He did.

(16:30):
And he was talking about absolutely nothing. nothing
but being messy but he got her on her
who she was as human he did i think
the only thing he can't do with joe biden is he really doesn't have many things
to come at him but about the prime family he can't
yeah that's it joe biden
is not cognitive but he's a mastermind criminal no

(16:52):
and it's funny watching grandpa go to work every day
but honestly like so fun our our government moves
slower than grandpa so having grandpa in charge of
the government is really not a good i think they said this is
one of the first they have to have a limit hey
we do need to have a limit like 22 we're gonna have a minimum we're gonna we're

(17:13):
gonna need an age limit too and that should fluctuate based on the age majority
of we have you have to be at least 35 is that i think you You have to be at least 35.
Yeah. 35 is the minimum. I think so.
30 years. That's all you get. 65, you're out. If you can retire, you're done.
Okay. Public office. So are you suggesting that we have the Senate president for 30 years?

(17:37):
No. No, no, no. We'll be talking about the age range.
Right. No. I get it. But you only get. So between 35 and 65 is your age for
the presidency. I think. No. Older than 65, you cannot run.
The age to hold any public office in this country. Yeah. Yeah,
because some of them- Any elected position, you're out at retirement.
Do you remember when they talked about Dianne Feinstein falling asleep while

(17:59):
they were like- Well, yeah.
Disgusting and about to vote on a bill. These people, like Supreme Court,
they're voted in for life. They will die in that role.
Unless they step down yeah that's the only way they get
replaced needs to change as far as like when it comes to like
law laws and bills because they're
not thinking about the world as of now like let's talk

(18:20):
about the interest rate thing but i don't understand for the life of me why
this country is oh we're broke and we're having issues and we're having this
but you all control the numbers you have the levers like the interest rate doesn't
have to be so high you know or Or blaming the president for an interest rate
when we all know that the companies are in charge of raising their prices.
They raise the interest rate because there's no money in the banks and everything's on credit.

(18:45):
Banks. Which is funny. I'm going to bring up another point about a bank.
So they raise it so people keep money in the bank.
So that way there's not a lot of credit being out there. So that way there's
more cash in banks that can satisfy debt.
That's why the interest rate goes up. So it entices people to keep money in the bank.

(19:06):
But really, it doesn't work because when it goes up, more people put shit on cards.
Exactly, because you can't afford to put money in there. Because you can't afford
to keep that money in the bank.
Yeah. So you have to keep putting things in there because the cost of everything goes up.
And we find out about it six months after it happens.
So even if this last round, I don't know if it went up or down,

(19:29):
but I know that the report wasn't good.
But like if it
goes we won't that's craziness and again it's
it's one of the ways we also see that government truly it's
losing its use and i hate to say that
like there is some use to government you know as far as protecting the
country and and negotiating between other countries

(19:52):
it's a lot of reasons why government should exist but
the way americans politics are now and
government is running now we we how many bills have we
even passed this year compared to other
administration losing its productivity it is definitely and
look it up y'all we don't have the numbers right here in front of us the white house
page posts all of the bills that they sign and

(20:13):
it's not that many and what they are
all are so you can go out and always read that that's information i think
joe biden has a lot of executive order bills which
i think they said between him and like barack obama who
we all know both the republicans were 100 against
obama actively tried to block his bills
and now joe biden's bill and my question is

(20:35):
and y'all can send us in some comments if you want to but it's like what does
that help if nothing we you two can do because this is a whole nother thing
you get another president gets in office and say hey i don't like this bill
i'm getting rid of this yeah unless they get everything that was previously It doesn't make sense.
Basically, we wasted four years. Like the way I don't care who's in the office,

(20:58):
what team or side or color they are.
If we keep going back to 2000, we're never going to go forward.
And I think that was the purpose of- Other countries are going to take over production.
Yeah, because other countries- China's already setting themselves up for it.
Because China, regardless of what they do over there, they're moving forward constantly.
Of course. Because you got the same people in office, the same people making decisions.

(21:21):
And they're not all, I'm not saying China does a good job of making decisions
that are appropriate all the time for their people, but they think of the country
as a power. or they want to be more of a presence in this world.
There are some cities in Japan that are like completely recyclable city.
Like they recycle and reuse everything.

(21:43):
That is true. And it is one of the greenest cities in that country.
And America can be, but of course we're so stuck on money.
Well, money and the citizens actually have to do a little bit more work with their trash.
Like they just can't throw it into one bucket. So you're never going to get
to that point. Because I think in Japan, speaking of Japan, they regulate that stuff.

(22:05):
Like the companies that make all of these goods or these packaging,
they're under extreme regulation.
They're not worried about the financial aspect of it. They're worried about
how their environment looks.
Versus America was like, oh, if I can make another $50,000, I'm going to do
this. It doesn't matter. We're a consuming nation.
We consume the world's products.

(22:27):
Yeah, we are definitely a nation of just consumption, which leads me back to government.
It's like we're taking and taking and taking and taking, but what are we truly
putting back out for its people?
And I hate to say, like in this country, you're in like a revolving door because
all of us have a shelf life. We're all going to die one day.

(22:47):
We got to keep our citizens working and paying taxes to run this country.
Because that's what's more important than making sure everybody equally makes
the same amount of money.
Everybody's equally happy. The government just approved a contract to build a train on the moon.
Oh, riveting. Oh, I did see that. Tax payer money.
Tax payer money. It goes where, though? It transports people and goods on the moon. Where?

(23:13):
On the moon. Is there now about to be a town on the moon? There's about to be.
Yeah. Because I'm like, what is the train for if there's no one to transport?
Transport you're thinking logically okay my first
thought was like oh that sounds cool but it's like where is it where well donald
trump is already some semi-responsible for

(23:33):
starting like a space force and i died deeper in there
but he made a seven horse okay i didn't
take that to mean that he intended to build trumpville on
the moon oh he looks at it he looks at
it as security look at it as security like they can
take over other countries from the moon yeah which
is also scary because again like america kicked

(23:56):
off the atomic bombs and and now
we're trying to build train death stars we're gonna
build a light rail system on the moon yeah and the
death star will be next greg knots
i feel like we just started this conversation and
already we have a town a military force yeah it's
just on the moon yeah literally that's how they're not

(24:16):
like they're not on the moon but there is a space force and eventually
the idea is that there would be people
on the military force or yes they train yes those people to do what solve again
you are thinking logically and this is a logical situation okay not that it's
illogical but it's unnecessary I knew about Trump's space force and obviously Elon Musk has his home.

(24:41):
Well, Elon Musk before America will do anything.
Elon Musk will already figure out a lot. Oh yeah. He's doing a lot.
He's going to have a lot. Now he's probably already on the moon. Did he already take.
Didn't he already take people up to the
moon he did launch his like spacex thing
and took people up into orbit but

(25:01):
not oh they didn't go to the way okay okay so like they
went up just before they lost the gravity that
would pull them back yeah no one's really going you
can space you're just going up and right outside from the videos
and pictures that i've seen you can see the curvature of the
earth and like you were way the fuck up there that's crazy like
space station yeah that is terrifying like what

(25:23):
is terrifying to go up in something and be the first eight
people to go do that because like nobody else has
ever done a good example
baby we already know that's what this podcast went all
over the guess what i got you for two tickets to
the next of the titanic

(25:43):
exploration exhibit okay baby you'd be doing me a favor but
i think my point was talking about all the insanity is that
our government is more focused on all of
those crazy things but not passing laws for homelessness or
global warming yeah or just anything economically that will help us as a people
but we are paying taxes for all of these other crazy things crazy ideas that

(26:08):
people like who i want to know who voted for a train on the moon.
Like i want to know though i think the other thing
we have to think about what
other bills are hidden within that bill that's right

(26:28):
about the trains to the moon there's more it isn't
not about the moon train the whole thing is about
the little bills that they're able to pass underneath with
this massive bill minnesota did it last year they got
the republicans patents oh and got
issue know as cbd yeah and they legalized
cbd ahead of thc but they made

(26:49):
it legal overnight by getting this bill that they
thought that there was for the majority because something else most
of these elected officials that we put into office don't read
the entire package and these bills are structured
to be so big and long because of that
intent there is one main cause there's a
bunch of shit that's exactly what they're doing in in government

(27:10):
that's why they have like those white what do they call them the
white lie laws or something like that where it's like you can
look them up and they're little things that are written in the law like coming
from wisconsin you can't cross the bridge with a chicken over your head what
oh i was just looking at a tiktok with some of the most wild yeah like there's
like some that you can't bend over with your underwear down yeah like just completely

(27:32):
ridiculous things that are that we have Yeah, because we have to find some.
I have some saved on my TikTok. We have to find some and read them out one day.
They're genuinely wild and insane.
And all that to say is that it's not like these things like,
you know, fighting homelessness and, you know, environmentally green cities
aren't happening. As you said, they're happening in Japan.
There's a city in Europe that's completely solved their homelessness problem.

(27:55):
I just read somewhere else. I forget what country it is. But what they do,
they have these little apartments that are very, like, simple,
single, you know, single use, like bed, kitchen thing. and they help homeless
people over six months re-enter society.
Stably and nine out of ten of the people
that they bring in do successfully re-enter society whether

(28:15):
that be homelessness through addiction homelessness through you
know whatever reasons like there are other countries around the
world that are that have the the game plan right
they have like the blueprint already done it's just about
investing in the right things as you were saying yeah and america in no
way is going to invest no in its citizenry is
going to invest best and its superpower yeah because this is

(28:36):
a warmongering country like there's lots
of money and with yeah and if we can provide war
to other countries and make tons of money i think
that's more of america's focus is domination because
they say this country doesn't know this country does it's
dominating in all in crazy small ways
but nevertheless it's still a form of like

(28:58):
taking we were just watching i was watching like some star
wars shit and they were it was a funny song that papleteen put
out about what was more powerful than a jedi
warrior was a politician oh yes yeah it's hilarious
it's on youtube but just true like he literally
took over the whole galaxy by playing the
game and then got voted in and got

(29:19):
voted into power and then did his job like
that's literally what he did he brought peace to the universe.
For a long time even though it wasn't the right way that's
kind of what we're looking at with donald trump you know
unfortunately i just this thing that all of
it needs to change we do have a third candidate running yeah
robert is the name robert kennedy robert kennedy jr

(29:40):
robert kennedy jr you know that's interesting i would definitely
and uh yeah robert kennedy jr he's
running independent he definitely is a there the
republicans and democrats are scared of him because he will pull votes from
both sides okay and a smart decision is that he is running independent because
a lot of people's gripes with where we are now is the two parties yeah we're

(30:01):
all tired of yeah and so the good thing about this independent character is.
Candidate not character is that if they
if he gets enough substantial votes the next
primary elections have to include funding for independent
yeah and i'm excited about would change
our party that would be the one voting system from a

(30:24):
two party to the three yeah that'll be the one good thing that
comes out of this year because which i think this would be really nice because
i would like to vote for 25 candidates between
25 for a presidency for four years rather than
99 or 99 and a
half year old or yeah because neither prayer
let's just keep it real either one we might get elected suffer for four years

(30:48):
with one of these idiots again well hopefully donald trump's vice president
has a better head on his shoulders that's all i can hope if he wins if he's
like to make a political statement with that vice president?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Not put somebody that will battle him?
I think he... Because he's really good at putting people next to him that won't battle him.

(31:12):
Well, that's true and untrue because once the president was over,
the presidency, Mike Pence was happy to be done with him.
Oh, he said... Most of the people because they all said like being in a meeting
with him is somebody who's,
one, not paying attention on his cell phone barely listening and if he has a
point it's just what he wants to say and that's it if it's not what he wants

(31:35):
in a part of his agenda it didn't fly like they said he definitely had a dictator
way of doing things and that's what i'm afraid of because if he gets back in.
There's no saying he can't turn this into a dictator well what's gonna happen
who's gonna be his running partner yeah let me fact check this but if i'm not
mistaken i pretty sure i I read somewhere that Ms.
Tulsi Gabbard has jumped ship from the Democrats over to the Republicans. What?

(32:00):
Tulsi Gabbard. She ran against... She ran this last election.
Did she win? Oh, no. She ran for president this last election.
Oh, so now she's gonna run for... Oh, so you think she might be his pick.
Well, he'll do it if he's a popular candidate.
As I'm like, as I was looking around because I was looking for it too,
I saw somewhere that she was potentially one of the folks that were being looked

(32:23):
at that as a potential running.
I know he had a bunch. I know he was looking for a bunch of candidates or he
had a bunch of people he was looking at, but a bunch of them had said, no, they would never.
Yeah. A lot of people said, no, honey, they don't want to work.
No, I don't want to. Because you tried. He tried to get Mike Pence.
No, with Trump again. Trump. Trump. Yeah. Trump is crazy. I would not want to be in the running.
Yeah. And he said he would not endorse him either. So that's where. Yeah.

(32:47):
I don't think Trump, if Trump loses, it will be because he cannot connect to
all. Yeah, here it is right here.
Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. representative, once considered a rising star of
the Democratic Party and even ran for president, has reimagined her political career.
She went from being a prominent figure in Hawaiian politics to be considered
a potential vice presidential candidate on Donald Trump's shortlist.

(33:10):
It's worth noting that her father mike gabbert has
taken the opposite political path so her dad's even distancing himself
from her damn well i mean exactly why
would anybody want to attach themselves to yep the republicans
right now because honestly they are
they are in a place they're all ridiculous you got
marjorie taylor green talking about space lasers a

(33:32):
long time ago and now he's trying to vote out
mike johnson she threatened to vote him out i thought he
was gonna gonna call him out already well she did she did a
whole she makes a lot of threats but that's the thing though we don't
need to worry about her because miss what's her name jasmine the black congresswoman reading
her down oh yes twitter battle the other day but the republicans are all in

(33:53):
a shamble i mean good luck baby she be having marjorie a choke oh she be getting
her ass together baby because marjorie i think and then serve a place where
it's after i think that's That's what the Republicans have turned into,
a bunch of messy drag queens who can't get along. For real, they can't get along.
I'm mad about this bitch, Shopee. I'm mad about this bitch, Booker.

(34:13):
Why this bitch got a dressing room?
Why this bitch got, like, this is literally what it's related to.
Oh, we are relating, honey.
We are relating because that's literally what's going on with the Republicans.
And the Democrats are the good, quiet drag queens right now,
getting their bookings, taking care of their business.

(34:34):
You get every every few that's not yeah you get a few missing ones on that side
too and then you got the independent girl coming up on in and giving both of
them problems literally it's a drag show,
Good luck to the politicians. I'm not looking forward to this election in November.
I don't want Joe Biden or I don't want Donald Trump. I'm just being real.

(34:56):
I know people are going to be like, Sasha, are you going to vote?
Of course I am because I would rather.
But can you hear how bad this sounds that I really would rather like stay at
home and not because they're both terrible. I might mail it in.
Yeah, I'm definitely mailing in my ballot. I'm not that heavy.
But at the same time, though, it's like, well, I can't be pissed off if I don't actually vote.
Yeah. the good news is they let kamala harris out the closet he's doing a little campaign.

(35:21):
They let her out and she's the most like
silently not seeing her as a vice president well
you know i'm gonna be quite honest for a hot second i did feel like mike hentz
was a very quiet president too as well until the pen this last yeah i want to
say like that last year or so but you know what happened with you know what
happened they started on the having a little fist fight in the back.

(35:47):
And then Mike Pence said, I was done. And that's when I saw him get more vocal.
Kamala Harris, though, can I be honest?
I forget she's vice president. Well, because Joe Biden tasked her with the border.
So who gets the blame for the border? Oh, she's doing just fine there. Yeah. Oh, yeah, she is.
They're wearing her out about the border, you know, and the fact that they can't
pass a bill because of Donald Trump said not to pass the bill.

(36:08):
The politics are just a shit show right now. They are. They're taking outside
influence. They're not supposed to. Yeah.
I wouldn't. Look, I'm going to let y'all know something. These young babies are watching y'all.
And if y'all don't do y'all jobs, later you will be fired.
Fired. Fired. and it'll
be beautiful honestly beautiful i'm so

(36:31):
sad i cannot watch that show anymore uh the apprentice apprentice and
celebrity apprentice we're like that's where i got introduced to
the star jones nini leaks right oh oh good
like that show was genuinely like so i think
it helped me look at things from a business perspective well granted
donald trump sucks ass yeah he does but it definitely

(36:51):
opened my mind as a business wise as
an artist watching watching them do these project management things
and tasks and help me figure out how to fundraise for
myself you know so it was helpful but it's just so i even did a school project
on the celebrity apprentice that's how much crazy but then he turned out to
be a complete douchebag yeah well not turned out i just became more aware of
it the douchebag he just got into office true yeah i just became aware of it

(37:14):
and unlike you know unlike most politicians donald trump did not have,
their pedigree no not at all like i'm gonna say and
do what i want he's a new yorker i mean let's
be honest yeah we've had this before yeah with
ronald reagan yeah this is ronald reagan let's be 100 honest ronald reagan knew
how to sell dirt to a fucking bug yeah like ronald reagan was also employed

(37:35):
and he's the reason why we have this large gap between productivity and compensation
baby true he's the reason that the rich don't get taxed as much as they would have previously,
continuous regressions that we are in is because of ronald reagan another celebrity.
Persona that got pushed into politics
and was used as a puppet that's true that is

(37:57):
so it's not like we haven't seen it before history repeats itself
we just gotta figure out if we're gonna actually come meet the assignment
yeah it's gonna be a bumpy ride mom bumpy ride
it's crazy that you don't just that because a lot of people are
something that i looked into said that's part of the reason
why people think that john f kennedy was assassinated
because he was another celebrity liberty president but he

(38:19):
was actually on the right he was doing the right thing he
helped so they were like yeah he had
to get rid of segregation and so of course they didn't like that you
know what we we want this country's just twisted it is i'm glad that we don't
have to deal with some of the things we're dealing with but i think this country
needs to get it together so that we can figure out what to do with everything

(38:40):
else that's going on russia and ukraine and china China and South Korea,
these people are getting together.
They're joining forces because they don't agree with the Western views or the
chokehold that the West has on the world.
I don't think it's a 100 percent bad thing, but I think we need to figure it out. I really do.

(39:01):
And we need to get the children out of government and get some of the adults
that really, truly want to help this country. The children and the elderly.
Republican or Democrat.
I agree. And we got to do better because you're not thinking about the youth
if you are trying to start wars or you're not taking care of the homeless or
the student loan thing. I'm sorry. That's very important.

(39:21):
I was just talking to my boyfriend about student debt and people that walk out
of college with $60,000 to $100,000.
That's insanity. How do you expect to start your life like that?
And you walk out and you like broke yeah we're
a country that should as advanced as our country is
i don't get why you have to pay to learn and you have to take out a loan there

(39:42):
are countries alone to buy a house there are countries that don't charge you
to go to university yeah it is it is your it is your countries that don't charge
for health right yeah yeah it is your native right to go to school this is the
thing about it it's built.
To keep you like the whole way it's all set up with having
debt after leaving college is because it's all based

(40:04):
on whether you still live with your parents or not and whether your parents can
take care of you until you're able to pay off the debt that you made
for college so maybe that's not the reality right
now but technically it's set up for once
you graduate college and everyone's in every average american's
mind when you graduate college you start life right then and there no technically
with the amount of debt that you hold you still have another five to ten

(40:26):
years years before you actually move into your own first house
that part yeah that part unless you
got rich parents unless you have rich parents yeah who pay it off right away better
politicians or because the odds of the
odds of getting a job that will pay off your debt in the first
year the first year out of college is like
zero to nine and especially well depending on where

(40:47):
you go depending on where you go because like when i moved up here to the
university like with the
scholarship that i had got that i got there was
very little that i had in debt after that
freshman year then they started taking scholarships away and stuff so it
was like and you know reciprocity with surrounding states like new
york chicago these big cities that charge

(41:08):
maybe 40 50 thousand dollars a.
Year i was about to go to boston university that tuition
in one year was nearly a hundred thousand dollars i
believe it nearly a hundred thousand dollars and
that does not count in the flight tickets coming back home every
uh holiday that does not include housing once i
graduate you know left freshman year that didn't include any

(41:30):
sort of groceries or living expenses nearly a hundred
thousand dollars and boston is
boring honey you would have been you would have been tortured there you know
it's boring well you know they have they had a really good arts program they drink
oh they do they do have a really good writing and arts program
there and a trusted friend went there so
i was like okay cool yeah they do i wanted

(41:51):
to leave the country for university you would have my mom said no i think you
would have done well at any school and you know i dated someone who was going
to berkeley oh i know a few people who went to berkeley oh look at you my some
of my friends anyway politicians do better so we can move on,

(44:00):
Because this is not brunch, Sasha.
This is Sasha after dark. Clingy.
Speaking of coming out of the dark, Rihanna has came out of the dark and blessed us.
And I do mean blessed us with an amazing photo shoot.
She did some kind of avant-garde nun thing.

(44:22):
It's a little edgy. Yeah, she did a few things for interview mag.
So the first one she dropped was like this sort of, you remember that gloss runway Pat McGrath?
Yeah. yeah kind of similar to that but like the
blue eye with red lips and then
she did like this really androgynous it looked it
feels like to me she did a very like androgynous shoot because she

(44:44):
does this really shiny too right she does this like school sort of
oh i love that she looks so fierce she looks
butch right and it's like it's so and then you get this
you get like this one is very like ragged but that
you've this oh it's like gorgeous couture now i
heard that people had had issues with this shoot well everyone will
have issues i mean i think they mad because she ain't put

(45:04):
out an album but she put out this shoot so my
thing is so i read a lot of the comments that were just like why would she choose
to do this who would choose to look like that and a lot of illuminati comments
like she sold her soul and all that kind of crazy stuff and it's like dang she
does a picture as a sexy nun and then automatically she sold her soul to the devil Well, dang. OK.

(45:25):
But my thing is, first and foremost, stop blaming Rihanna for this.
You know, she went to do a photo shoot at Interview Mag.
And clearly, when you do that, you're doing what the photographer or the concept,
you know, is for the photo shoot.
So nine times out of 10, she didn't actually choose any of these looks or photos for the magazine.

(45:48):
She went, she did a job and got paid and went about her way.
This was submitted to the papers, right?
I just feel like people need to stop blaming her for what
they don't like but having said that i love the photo
shoot i don't think i'm gonna stay in something you know
like in my experience with like photo shoots whatnot like they'll
have an idea for you but a lot of times while the makeup artist is sitting there the chair

(46:10):
and y'all are chit-chatting and talking you know sometimes things change
and alter that being said you're not wrong you're not
wrong people are asking like why would you choose to do this but also like why
aren't you choosing to do this this is pussy like she
looks great and this blue this blue eye
shadow is given with this red lip like
right right color black red and white like

(46:31):
those i feel like a lot of people look at it surface level rather
than looking at the entire ensemble of the
image you're talking about the background with the color of
the text with her skin tone with this none out like
all of these together make such an image to me
it just looks like fabric although i can see some
buttons but still them you know but like i

(46:51):
also hate to point out the same people that are uptight about
this we're okay with donald trump holding a bible upside
down and girl when asked to read what was his favorite passage out of the bible
his comment was oh i don't want to talk about that that's personal because he
said it was his favorite book too by the way i could have said let there be

(47:11):
light it was my favorite path something boo he could have made up something But anyway.
The same people who are up twisted about this art, because this is just beautiful art.
She's not making a mockery of anyone's religion.
Come on now. We got to lighten up, people. It's okay to do things that are a little.
I mean, those are the comments, a mockery of religion. Yeah,

(47:35):
I'm looking at some of them saying that she's making a mockery.
I don't think so. So I think making a mockery to me, if I had to think about
making a mockery of religion would be like.
Going on in a catholic church and taking a
picture i think if there was more to this it
would be a mockery but right now like at first glance
it just looks like two pieces of fabric draped on definitely

(47:58):
no i don't look further into it
you can see it's a shirt and she's got some little headpiece going on
there but i don't think they are reaching no
i think that we had the rosary on and a cross in her hand and she was sitting
in front of the sistine chapel maybe a mock i don't don't even think that's
a mockery mockery but that would be also a really interesting photo shoot i

(48:19):
would like to be a person i would be like dang you're like you're just wrong.
Get that rihanna get that reread it's so
offensive convert to christianity because.
Rihanna y'all no yeah i don't see anything wrong.
With this i definitely don't see anything wrong i think again
people just need to lighten up a little i think some people

(48:40):
just have fun yeah enjoy some of
the things we're getting be real though okay how many
people white women have done shoots like this okay
stop i was just about to say how many women dress up
as nuns for halloween each and every year
yeah true have you seen the music video to like
a prayer yeah true like true

(49:02):
stuff you talk about madonna well i'm yeah i'm just saying
like she has used religious imagery mystery throughout her career
and many other musician and they just well
lady she did she didn't give
love for judas yes she did well little enough just try
to recently he got a lot of blue again little naz
he's a person of color he's openly

(49:24):
gay and and he's doing
things about and i will say this will not say i don't
think he was making a marker but i think it was a bit of of an overload he well
he was trolling he whole ass was trolling he said in in
in his video he submitted a video he was saying that
you know i i never intended to mock jesus
christ or christianity he was like if anything i was trying to emulate it in

(49:46):
my own way like like jesus was a real superhero so i'm trying to cosplay that
superhero that's where his mind was trying to do that but but it was an overload
this is where we come to like making a mockery of religion that came off who me is mocking religion.
You know, or he just was and I'm not saying that he's a bad person but I think

(50:07):
he was a little insensitive to how religious this country truly is.
Including some of his fans. You know, there are a lot of religious queers that I know.
He'll believe in God and etc.
I'm not one of them. I'm definitely more open-minded when it comes to it.
I like to say that I'm a bit on the weakened side. But.

(50:28):
You i'm still not going to play with someone's religion regardless of
what it is i'm not going to like dress
up as you know i just don't think
that's cute i don't even think it's cute in drag i think that we could
be a lot more creative than doing things that's
borderline offensive you know i think
what you're saying yes i don't think rihanna was trying to be offensive in

(50:50):
this but again she didn't put this together like
this was somebody that said rihanna i have this amazing amazing shoot
for you like this is what we're going to do how are
you are you down with it she probably i don't
think she had much input on this at all she just was like doing it
yeah i don't think i think she for real showed up coffee
and hand cigarette and the other like what are we doing like here it's the wardrobe

(51:12):
okay thank you she's a billionaire honey she probably didn't look at the day
yeah well you got all that money what do you have to do like what do you have
to he came to make a paycheck she came for work and that's all she came for
she She doesn't care about what your politics or what your thoughts are about it.
I don't even think she did it for the money, Aaron. I'm with you on that because she's a billionaire.

(51:32):
She's just like, this is a day, this is a vacation. Some people fight for art,
but she can do art for the sake of art. Like, she can model for the sake of modeling.
Like, you have a lot of folks that are modeling because they need that gig.
I think, yeah. You know, at this point, I mean, girl, if I was Beyonce,
Rihanna, or them, I would be doing photo shoots every other week. Me too, just because.
No, Rihanna, see the situation. I can't even get it out of my mind,

(51:52):
y'all, because you're taking it right out of there. That's exactly what I was going to say.
If I was Rihanna, part of my brand, my career, my actual job is to be that bitch.
That means I have to continue doing stuff.
I might have $200 billion in the bank, but I still need to go and do this photo
shoot before I let the next bitch go get it.
And now she's that bitch. That bitch. Okay? That bitch.

(52:14):
Because Beyonce would easily could imagine. What would the conversation be today
if Beyonce had did that photo shoot and not Rihanna? Yeah.
It would have been the same thing i think it would have been the same thing
yeah because y'all say let me tell you something have you not seen thank you camila.
Have you not seen the comments on renaissance i have
i have seen them so yeah beyonce got a band for renaissance because a lot of

(52:37):
people were like oh this is not the beyonce that we know we want the old beyonce
back but i'm sorry did you hear any of the backlash for church girl specifically
oh wow yeah yeah i didn't look specifically for church girl i knew better I
knew people got that place, but I didn't look into it.
Folks were like, oh, you know, how can you do this?
This is like, you're messing with religion and whatnot. But at the same time, it's like...

(52:58):
Okay it's i'm sorry because church girl is
the truest song i think exactly for saying ever because
that's how a lot of because that's how they yeah you could be a
church girl if you know and she's still very really
you know and how she speaks today she was a church girl so
why can't she write a song from the perspective of being a young church girl
i don't go to church every day anymore but i'll definitely write

(53:18):
a story about when i was a junior deacon yeah shouting like
i still save praise praise break videos i listen
to regardless of music me too oh you can ask anytime i'm
really getting prepared for a gig we're only blasting gospel
music in the house of the car yeah i love gospel music
you know it's good stuff so it's like you know i
think if beyonce had done this oh the backlash would have been this if

(53:41):
not worse yeah because it's beyonce it is
i don't think that beyonce would and again i hate to
point out to you she's a person of color like that's just
the truth whether you want to acknowledge it exactly it's just
the truth it's something it's just but i don't think she did anything wrong
i love that it's definitely on brand with rihanna that's why i like it even

(54:01):
okay so that's the other thing it's not like she's not looked like this or done
stuff like this before i feel like for rihanna this is kind of tame my good
brother true once again you are speaking logic into an illogical world.
If everybody smoked weed i guarantee you they'd understand what you're saying right now,
I just don't get it It's okay She looks good At the end of the day I think people

(54:28):
are mad That she dropped this photo shoot and not an album,
I genuinely think Anytime someone has an argument About Rihanna it's because
she has not dropped an album And I'm like y'all let the bitch cook Yeah And
go buy Finchie Go buy that makeup.
She's been baking Everything but dropping an album everything but oh lord a

(54:51):
verse no i don't think she's pregnant i haven't heard anything about her being
pregnant but i think them two children is enough right now rihanna she got two
right she has two children right now oh wow go ahead let me double check that
check yeah i thought she got two kids,
but you know she knows she don't blame her do your thing
honey if i was a billionaire and time to spare i'm definitely

(55:11):
but that's the thing though like she's like looking at life
differently now because she doesn't like the financial
aspect of life yeah she doesn't need to worry about that part
i can't wait till i get there it's what she wants to
do now so like now she's just
having fun you can make art for the sake of making art and not because she's
trying to hustle there's nothing nothing wrong with you don't know man so you

(55:35):
know she's gonna be popping up she tried but now she don't need to be in no
moment i'm sorry that's what her next movie i like the voice.
No no no no i just
need her i just need her in another ocean speaking i did enjoy
her in the the oceans no that ocean what is
with telling about them card eight no

(55:59):
it went backwards it was eight girls yes because
it was eight sarah paulson was in it i feel like bottom carter
i do remember it what yes
rihanna was in rihanna in that though oh no no she
didn't have a big part oh okay but i enjoyed that
i would love to see it grow she she was a tech person
just like i don't want to see beyonce i don't want to see her act oh

(56:21):
you didn't think obsessed was the greatest demographic no you
heard it here first i'm sorry i shouldn't even i just say that was and it's
nothing wrong with beyonce attempting that was just for writing the scripts
so it didn't work for me i as an actor it did love that beyonce really wants
so bad to be an actor so i was like i love seeing her act.

(56:42):
Even though she i think she's a great singer and
she's a wonderful singer the world's best stage performer
i think that's the first time i ever heard anyone
talk negatively about beyonce is what they dream girls
dream girl can't
be i didn't think that she was meant to be good in acting in
that one so i just appreciate the musical but beyonce

(57:03):
was not the star darling that was the first time
i ever heard someone talk negatively about beyonce that's like you're not
wrong this is truth telling no i think i think
the worst acting beyonce's ever done was in obsessed i'm
sorry no the worst was that carmen oh okay
wait not some of y'all

(57:24):
above some of y'all time go back and look it up on youtube i have to reach back
i'm gonna throw back in with you it was hard for a digger it was was it the
whole destiny shot I think so it was the three girls Omar Ips not Omar Ips not
Omar Ips but it was Omar Ips it was I can't think of it.

(57:44):
Was it Mike Abt no no what's his
name I see his face I see his face in my head he was a cutie at the time,
I know I know yeah he you
see he got the butt guys her greatest role of
all time though Foxy Cleopatra oh yeah she
deserved that role role

(58:04):
yes let mini me hump her leg
for the role he was decent in uh the pink
panther too i forget she was in that she
was decent oh my goodness i completely forget she's in
that with steve martin i liked her because i feel like she yeah she played the
role of the pop star very well very well the song was good i used to the song

(58:24):
was good i used to perform her back in the day i loved it to be honest she was
the draw for that movie he was like oh beyonce's in that i'm gonna watch What
is this? What are you saying? I'm about to look.
I like Check Up On It. That was on that movie. That was on the album.
That was on the soundtrack.
Wow. Did y'all hear about Oceans 2?
Oceans 2? The hell? Over Easter, two people stole $34 million.

(58:48):
Girl. Yeah.
Okay we were i do know about this story a little
bit i did hear that these this money got stolen
and no one knew about and nobody knows they
don't even know how the money came up missing they don't even know how
like they don't even know the full value like of
how much was actually stolen they're approximating it

(59:09):
between 30 and 34 million okay is this
but like miracle error error or they're still
counting what's left they're like well the thing is is the
property is missing so it was it's being held in a
cash storage facility or a property storage facility
where banks so you all hold currency
for dead you all forget it's your

(59:30):
self-serve storage for cash cold hard cash
but they broke in over easter and
got away with a shit ton of
dollars i mean not gonna lie this easter was probably the
best time to do it between jesus rising again and
it being transgender visibility day oh everyone was

(59:51):
describing something that was all over
the news baby joe biden went in that was perfect and i did hear about that but
the bank the bank thing that was that was something that was the perfect time
you all know that was the inside job my only how did they not know to have like
serviced that building and knew where it was because like they They entered from the outside,

(01:00:13):
and they got in and got out.
Damn. How much? My only question is, did they store cash, physical American
hardcore cash, in this facility?
So these two people came in and sold upwards of.
I don't know if they know how many, but I just said two.

(01:00:36):
Oh, you just said two. You said there's one that they have on record.
Well, there's one guy that called in, it was like anonymous recording,
and he had basically said in so many words that these individuals, whoever did it.
Knew exactly when to go and
do it okay this and that was so precise and

(01:00:56):
that was the person they didn't cut in on the deal that probably it was
it was probably ocean
seven movie spinoff real life the one that was like bitch you ain't gonna give
me no money i'm snitching i made more money on this uh documentary but i find it so interesting that

(01:01:20):
But like we talk about money being locked up so much and like cold hard cash
is just sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
Essentially. Yeah. Just sitting there, not moving, not.
Well, unless it's being like packaged up and taken to banks.
That's why we see the armored trucks. But that's what we believe federal reserves are for.
Like, we don't know what's actually going on. No, we don't know what they're doing in the open now.

(01:01:42):
I mean, we have one downtown Minneapolis here. But they just got money sitting
around. Obviously, it's not in a non-secure facility, but these people knew
how secure this facility was. It wasn't very secure if they got away with all my damn money.
It's a complete inside job. I'm not going to lie. Nobody has to have known.
My original question is, how much of this job was done digitally versus physically?

(01:02:05):
Because I feel like, how much did you say it was they actually got away with
or they think they got away with? Physical money. 30 to 30 form physical money.
Billion. Million. that's a lot of money depending
on how the dollar bills right okay they're all hundreds because
that's the highest currency that's what but that's what
i was gonna say there had to have been bonds or something and four people did

(01:02:27):
it like how long was it there's four of us sitting right here how long would
it take us to move 34 million well like you said like i'll tell you right now
and a hundred dollar bills easy like a few back is this big so it's like you
can put how much money in a bag, you know?
So it's like, you could probably in a duffel bag get a quarter million into a duffel bag.

(01:02:47):
They probably took that shit right out in a nice backpack, huh?
Baby, imagine these stacks are maybe like.
150 000 to 100 000 per stack right
and then they're all banded eat about 34 to 60 of
those okay three duffel bags okay yep okay see
now you speak see i did okay okay so
these didn't actually have to be like warehouse rooms this would

(01:03:09):
have been a box now what if
it is some like bitches like on mad money it is i don't
know the cleaning crew that i'm doing whoever did it
they're gonna know who they are soon because their life gonna change
boo i'm telling you you cheer it and they're gonna disappear if
they smile they go out of this country i would say oh i

(01:03:31):
would leave i'm gonna i would say
the same thing ken said when my thousand dollars went missing i'm watching
all y'all's drag the second anyone gets better i don't
know i am wow
heckling baby stop for me real fast but that lifestyle changed that lifestyle
changed okay so again i don't know who disappeared who disappeared who ain't

(01:03:53):
at the drive-thru tomorrow okay who didn't show up who started who dropped all
they lookings girl and moved away at the right after that girl,
that's how you know that wig and left.
Somebody had to come up that day hey oh my
god that's just hilarious but that's wild i'm not
gonna lie i've always dreamed of robbing a bank and someone actually did it in

(01:04:15):
my lifetime to this extent like i want
an escape room style like heist robbery
so fun rob a bank oh then we get no like you get a getaway oh that would be
a fun like that's the escape room like you have to get away that would be fun
that would be that would be quite open i'm not gonna lie that adrenaline would

(01:04:38):
really get yeah that would be,
Oh, you heard it first. You heard it here first. You heard it.
Oh, wow. It was good. A Mysterio production, baby.
I could see you put something like that. I would love that. That would be so
wild. I could think of one hand of people who would join to do that just to be actors in it.

(01:04:58):
Oh, yeah. Just to fucking. Don't shoot me. Don't shoot me.
Now, it's almost time to end this podcast. But before we go,
you know, we got to spill the local tea and the local gossip.
Is the streetsman talking? Is there anything? You know what?
I'm just going to say it because it's going to be a topic anyway.
We need to address the colorism in this community.

(01:05:20):
We need to address it. And when I say that is... What do you mean by colorism?
So colorism, thank you for asking, Aaron.
So colorism specifically, what I'm talking about is the idea of privilege within
a specific ethnic group.
So I'm going to use this as a great example, Latinos. Latinos we have Latin
folks that are as dark as Tupac as dark

(01:05:43):
as Biggie and we also have Latin folks such as
Cameron Diaz Christina Aguilera who
are white passing women but they do hold Latin
heritage in their genes and blood right we have
a wide spectrum and most racists do Caucasian
not so much but most races do now colorism comes in because the folks who are

(01:06:05):
lighter skinned and more more adjacent to white society see themselves as better
than those in their same ethnic or racial group who are of darker complexion
or closer to black or African skin tones. Right. Okay.
So I have been just being privy to a lot of folks in this community telling
other individuals that, Oh yeah,

(01:06:27):
you know, this is not a POC show because you're white passing. Oh, wow.
Or I've heard of some tea or, Or making statements such as, why aren't there more POCs?
And then the, you know, the quote-unquote white-passing individuals would be
like, oh, what do you mean?
I'm a POC. Oh, but you're white-passing. And sort of dismissing their identity
because they're not their idea of who a person of color looks like who is of

(01:06:52):
more melanated skin texture and tone, right? right?
So there's just an issue. And I've just noticed it coming up in different sectors,
such as shows or people just making comments and statements on social media
about one person's race.
And I just think that it's none of your business.
You know, as someone who has had to fight for their Latin heritage and experience

(01:07:12):
because I am black passing, quote unquote, this is just something that I personally
don't tolerate. So it's just like.
Rather than making these hard and fast statements, bring people in and have those conversations.
Because if it's really bothering you that much, one, you should have a relationship
with that person for it to bother you like that.
Two, go talk to them.

(01:07:34):
There's just too much in this community with, I'm going to say what I have to
say because I'm feeling this way, and not actually thinking about the implications
of how harmful those statements are, especially from our other people of color in this community.
To be quite honest, I deal less with this with the white people.
Yeah. I deal with this less with the white people than I do the POCs in this community.

(01:07:55):
I should not have to fight to exist as Puerto Rican, nor should anyone else
have to fight to be seen as a person of color in this community,
especially when they've done more work in this community for the people of color
than anyone else who are making these comments.
I think as a whole, it's unfortunate that this is, and I'm sure it was going
on back in the day, it was in a sense.
But it seems like now many the

(01:08:17):
scene here is so drowned out with different
forest fires like different little spots and colorisms
is one of there needs to be some sort of solution for all of this because for
someone like me i don't like to go out anymore because every time i go out i
hear things about like what you just talked about colorism i did hear that at
one of the gigs that i And then I also hear about many other things.

(01:08:41):
It's like, what do we do in this community to heal our personal mental health?
Because that does come into issue if you are taking the time out of your day
to walk over to someone in a show or anywhere.
And all your races, you're this, you're that. I feel like there's a time and
a place for everything. You can get your point across and deal with all these things without...

(01:09:03):
Making the environment as a whole toxic and
and that that's what's been going on in the twin
cities it's it's quite gross and i'm sorry that you
and other people have to deal with that but this is one of the reasons why i
don't really enjoy going out anymore is because again we gotta start dealing
with this stuff this stuff is like gross bigger things to deal with not fun

(01:09:25):
it's it's It's harmful towards any thought of progression.
Like, we're not going to push forward as a community if this is how we deal with everything.
And we also got to quit letting people in that have bad behavior or online calling
out people for doing blackface without researching who the people truly are.

(01:09:48):
Are and and i have noticed here that
these people are still embraced and still allowed
to be a part of shows and do other things without truthfully
and and being called out on all of
the hypocrisy and everything else that they do in the community that creates
an awful scene and that goes for the people who are doing the colorism as
well it's not okay for you to call

(01:10:09):
yourself a part of the community if this is what you're
doing it's another way of causing divide because i'm speaking
to you you as a black person i do not need you fighting for
me and in my race i don't need it worry about
yourself exactly work on your own personal health
i don't need you calling out someone wearing black face
who gives a fuck i don't care about it i'm being real about it

(01:10:30):
because i care about what i the legacy that i leave
behind in the world me treating another person with kindness and
respecting you or whatever color you are
and if you disrespect me you can be purple brown
burgundy i still would treat your ass like you
treat me that's just the way it is i just can't
i just for the life of me don't understand again

(01:10:50):
why we're always rewarding the loud
and proud but not rewarding the people who are really truthfully behind the
scenes doing great work for their community and not being vocal about it all.
The time and and also like as you're saying like actions speak louder than words
and i feel like an issue in this community is that there are a lot of people
that are shouting trying to to cancel people saying this, that,

(01:11:12):
and the third about this bar.
Saying this, that, and the third about this producer, which is great.
That's how we start the conversation.
But nothing happens unless you're actively doing something.
Yeah, and you got to be talented. So instead of complaining about,
oh, this show isn't POC enough, where are you taking a show that's POC enough?
Yeah, and why don't you create one that is? Where are you hosting a show that's POC enough?
Like, why are you like, yes, it's good to complain, acknowledge and,

(01:11:35):
you know, react to things.
But for me, if you're going to be reacting as much as many people in this community
do, I need to see some action from you that benefits.
And you know, the gag of it all is, is the people that are doing all this stuff,
they end up working for the same places where they call that they're complaining
about how ironic. Isn't that ironic?
It is. And it proves my point. Work on your mental health. You know,

(01:11:58):
smoke some weed, play some video games.
Talk to somebody detach yourselves from your cell phones because
yeah unfortunately possibly knowing things
is not always good for us it's not especially the
way we receive it because we're receiving information like this
now you know what i started doing at six o'clock my
phone goes silent yeah we turn now you know thanks

(01:12:19):
to having a partner now i turn the only time
i look at my phone is when i'm working on a sketch there are a couple contacts
that will notify me other than that it's yeah same
that part i might check a group but i won't comment
i'll comment the next day like you know or if it's
something urgent i'll say something but like now i learned to just take
a step back because we're not moving anything forward and it's sad that the

(01:12:42):
people who are out here trying to create opportunities and doing things for
their community they're not getting the praise or the love like the people who
are bitching and moaning about everything exactly like My mom taught me when
you cry and you misbehave, I will ignore you.
I'm not going to reward you for being disruptive and being bad and disrespectful.
I'm going to reward you for using your words and having a conversation with

(01:13:05):
me and doing what you're asked to do.
And I think in this community, again, we reward the loud, the disruptive,
and we're always talking about giving them shows or we're doing all these things to pacify them.
And it needs to stop. Like, I think that is one of my biggest pet peeves is
the reason why, again, I don't enjoy going out because I'm not going to lie.

(01:13:27):
Some of the shows are boring.
They're not as entertaining as they used to be because you're not booking talent anymore.
You're booking people. And I'm not going to say most of this.
Some of these people are not talented.
I do not want people to think that's where this come from because you already know.
Sasha said, no, I'm saying somebody is not ready for the stage. Yeah.

(01:13:50):
Yeah, it can be when you're not ready for a stage. That's why I'm not.
Yeah. Like I haven't gone out to some places for a while because I just.
Like, I see the flyers, I see the casts, and I'm like, okay,
great. Like, that was the last time I was there. Yeah, it's not anything.
You said it's no different than when I was there last. No different than when
I was there last. It's just like a basketball. It's nothing against the entertainers. No.

(01:14:12):
I know that some are going to continuously keep doing the same thing.
And I like to be surprised when I go out.
I mean, you are surprised about how dreadful some of the shows are when you
go out versus how they used to be. Because I think, again, you know,
regardless of what we think about the old producers, they were booking people to entertain you.
They put people in shows to make sure you were excited about coming to the show

(01:14:36):
because that's how we got to pay our bills.
Like, how do we pay our bills when we can only bring 10, 13 people per show in the seats?
You're paying our show pays that are most that I mean, the show pays have to
be like if I'm paying you $80 a gig.
Show pays used to be nothing because of taxes.
Well, now they're I think they're $80 at some places. Yeah. hundred
yeah but you can barely bring five people a piece

(01:14:58):
between you we need to start addressing that like
that's a problem and it's not a read i know
some people are like oh she read no i'm saying you should be worth more than
that you should want to be worth more than that you should want people to respect
what you're putting out so why put out mediocrity why i keep people problematic
people on your shows and why not challenge people to work on the art form that they say they love.

(01:15:23):
Would you buy a painting from somebody who can't paint?
That's just the truth. Would you buy a piece of plastic from somebody who can't
sell? It's different and that's subjective to everybody.
So is drag. No, you're right. There are a lot of paintings that are in museums
that I go and look at and I'm like, I can do this at my house. You're right. Like, who,

(01:15:43):
you know what i mean like you notice those art galleries have like 10
people in them too right but the fact
that they can hang in that space for that long yeah
nothing wrong with me i think there is a place for everyone like the spoon and
cherry that thing has been at the sculpture garden for years it's interesting
i mean i thought i don't know why they got it you said it's a spoon and it's

(01:16:06):
a chair yeah i don't know what i got it it's a cherry but like la it has a good
scene i've I've been watching a Genesis and they're like, Oh my God.
I liked it. They have a scene or, and again, kudos to nocturnal for creating
a scene for all entertainers here.
It's actually a very nice scene, a very good show.
Ghoul friends. I love what she's doing with it. And I love a lot of the other

(01:16:27):
producers who are making all shows.
I'm not going to name some of them, but some of them I don't care for,
but kudos to you. You still doing your thing.
It's create your space. If you're going to complain, create your space.
Yeah. I appreciate the entertainers who, no matter what, are going and saying,
I'm not getting booked at these shows. Let me create some opportunity.
Now, do some of them need to work on some of the shows?

(01:16:49):
Yes, they do. You need to work on the way you advertise them and promote them,
for one. Because some of them, I don't even know that they exist until the day of.
And if your performers are being booked, you need to be posting.
Thing because i follow a lot of these performers who i don't see a
single post from until a week of their show no
literally i've had so many people when i've been out and about they'd be like

(01:17:10):
oh wow you didn't come to this show and i'm like yeah i didn't know it was happening
until maybe two hours before because that's when i saw that you posted it so
yeah i don't know if i was performing i would be spamming the hell out of my
yeah you want people to come to your you know i don't care.
It's already twice today you're getting it again because i
want you to come no and that's and and that's surreal and that's the

(01:17:31):
problem we run into is that like i know i'm very strategic strategic because
of how many shows i have of like okay i'm gonna
drop this one then i'm gonna drop this one and then i'm gonna drop this one and
the closer we get to them the more they happen in succession or i would pay
for shit to happen you know yeah at the same time some folks i'm like okay i
know for a fact that from when we got booked so when we got this poster to when
the show happened i posted this at least 30 to 40 times why am i just seeing

(01:17:56):
you posted for the I think there should be a requirement as a show producer,
you know, in my groups, you know, if I think and I thought about doing this
multiple times there, if you want to be booked, you need to be posted.
You need to be sharing constantly.
And, you know, and I shouldn't have to say it. If I do have to say that means
I'm probably not going to work with you as much anymore, because if you truly
love again, you this is your show.

(01:18:18):
You're trying to make money from it. You want people to come.
You kind of you got it worse actually if it's just one seating just one.
Not that hard Yeah, because like for example the brunches if we lose a brunch
out of the three and it's a to show day It's a to show day.
We know that those crowds are going to be there. They're going to be you know, perfect,

(01:18:41):
a pussy we're gonna make our money oh they are but if they're
not if we're not advertising for the one show we have
over at saloon or the one show we have over at the 90s
or the one show we have over at lush you know and those are just examples because
those main clubs but if we're not advertising for the shows that we
are doing and we only have that one seating okay your amount of money that you're
making that night has gone down significantly yeah because if it's just four

(01:19:04):
or seven people showing up i promise you they're not going to continuously tip
you down they They probably have saved $1 per performer per round,
if we're going to be 100% honest.
True. And fresh faces. Don't be afraid of booking entertainers. That are new.
You may think, okay, they are new. They don't. Boom. Some of these new entertainers
have 20, 30 friends who want to come see them do a camp. I've seen it.

(01:19:27):
That's why I don't mind putting people in brunches, because I know that these
people got 40, 50 friends that's going to come to a brunch for them.
And that's spread out throughout the show. But we appreciate your purchase, darling.
Thank you. But I just think we gotta, as show producers, you know,
people who are working in these shows, that's what we need to be focused on.

(01:19:47):
We can't be focused on this petty drama that's continuously dividing us because...
If you work for a show that likes this show, that likes this show,
that likes this show, it's word of mouth.
We can it's enough for us all to eat. You know, we should be supporting each
other. And another thing before I go, I want to point something out, too.
There's parties when you put together parties and folks get pissed off at this.

(01:20:11):
Stop being social.
What's the word? You're on your social media posting like crazy shit and putting together.
Oh, yeah. How does it work? work hand in hand in
business oh you're talking about go alienate a
group of people and this is not in a dig for nobody this
is uh just something a food like because because

(01:20:31):
the way social media works like if you're posting a
lot of negative content and people don't like
it they're not gonna a lot of times they'll snooze you i mean i
snooze a lot of people because me too there's a lot of stuff that
i don't want to see when i use these platforms yep and
they all call us the cult tip cassidy like i

(01:20:52):
have nothing against posting what other people post
on their own social media don't tag me in it don't make
me like part of your post because i wasn't with you when you made this post
but like if you're posting a lot of negative stuff and you're trying to also
promote an event people probably have snoozed you or they're not seeing you or the algorithm is d.

(01:21:17):
Compressing you so you're really not getting out there and a
lot of people don't come to those events they just get turned off
too by the rhetoric too no definitely it's a
mindfulness of like as an artist we have to be mindful what we post all the
time because what we're posting all the time is going to reflect on what we're
trying to do some of the times does that make sense it does you know you know
something like if we're always posting negativity and like every blue moon we're

(01:21:40):
throwing a movie night most people are probably going to come they're like i
don't want to have that conversation,
I don't want to be in an environment where that's the topic of conversation
because that's all I'm seeing come off your social media and your personal posts.
You know, you have to be mindful of that. Like, that's why for me,
when people are like, hey, can I add you on Facebook?
I'm like, you can follow my social media, Instagram, Twitter.
My Facebook is my private place.

(01:22:01):
That's for me. That's for you. That's for me. And like, if we get close enough
that I'm like, I want to kiki with you. Yeah, I might add you to my Facebook.
But if you're trying to keep up with me and just see my day to day life,
go follow the Instagram, baby. That's what it's there for.
That's not a bad idea to separate your social media for that purpose.
So you can have a platform to post. and I do know me
personally I try not to post much about anything anymore it's
