Speaker 1 (00:38):
We are.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
We're making it.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Okay, I feel that it makes you. I got a
contract in my mouth right now. I poized sound weird listeners,
But I have a cold. I went on vacation. Oh,
I didn't want to come back home. You had good time.
I had such a good time, such a good time.
I'm visiting my family in Pennsylvania. Then in Pennyville. That's

(01:05):
what we call it, Pennyville, penny.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I wonder if anybody else call it that. I don't know, but.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Because who got time to see in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
It sounds good, it sounds it sounds more welcoming. Come
on over to Pennyville. You know what I'm saying. When
I heard Pennsylvania, I think of pilgrims. Bye, did you
see any pilgrims?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
No, I did see honest people.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, that's what I meant. I'm stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I met.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
That's what I meant. I met. That's what I meant.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Not anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
What years don't exist?

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Right? I don't know, because pilgrims just mean like you
leaving another place to go to another place, so you
could take a pilgrimage somewhere else to start a news.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I know you could take a pilgrimage, but pilgrims, I'm
talking about the little hat they look like. That's who
I was trying to reference.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Was the Homish people, the English folks that came over
here to the Americas and did everything they did. Yeah,
I don't think they exist the moment, the one that
passed the turkey and stuff, you know, m No, I
think they.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Passed the piece like we used to do. I had
to do that one.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's it's a giving. But yeah, then I took took
the bus up there to New York. So I got
to go to New York for the very first time.
How was that? You know, I'm gonna give it. I'm
gonna make a TikTok detailing my experience.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
You keep saying that you ain't idiot.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I know, you know, life the life in trees, you know,
but just to get the listener to the quick little
some something trees when I tell you, my heart.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's a lot of people do be thin in New York.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
And I had on boots because I was trying to
look cute boots.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yes, oh what was the id boots on? It's Slummer.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
But it went with the outfit, is what I'm saying,
not like thick boots, like combat like boots, you know,
regular dress up boots.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Like ankle boots.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, a little bit over the well.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I guess most men boots or ankle boots. But yeah, yeah,
I ain't got like that's what I was thinking to
to my Chelsea.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Boots like those but like combat bootsto similar.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Okay, I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
And so, because I didn't know that I was gonna
have to like be walking all over the place. I
thought my brother and my friend Nicky were going to
meet me in Midtown. They did not, and not to
the subway. That's a whole loss. Okright, Yeah it was
a lot, y'all. I not a fan, and it was cool,
but not a fan, couldn't litter. I don't know how

(04:14):
y'all do it on a daily basis. That's all. I
gotta say. The trees tell us about the beet ors
before we get into it, because we are here to
talk about Straw on Netflix, y'all. We talked for five minutes.
I forgot to tell y'all what we was even here for.
We're here to talk about Straw on Netflix. I'm gonna
leave it there because we'll come back to it. The

(04:35):
Trees tell us about the Beet Awards of twenty twenty five.
How incredible were they?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Let me first tell y'all was it? Let me let
me break it down to y'all real quick. All right,
this is thirty six year old review. Okay, thirty six.
I was born in ed and nine. When I tell
you that this Beet Awards was for me, okay, I say,

(05:02):
you know what I've been heard. They don't feel like
I don't even really advertise much, but I'm be real.
I don't watch commercials. I'm too bouchie. Everybody picks their
vices in life, and one thing for me is I
do not do commercials. Okay. So I am late to
a lot of things that's happening. So I was like, oh,
BT Wars coming here. You're like cool. I've always popped
in on the BET Awards just because it's just in

(05:23):
my nature. I've watched it like my whole life. But
the last time I actually sat and watching the entire
BT Awards, I literally have to look back, and it
was in two thousand, I want to say thirteen. I
think it was when Monique posted I think the last
time I actually sat and watched, so anyways, I put
it on. The opening scene was a shot that said

(05:46):
a shazi because you know, typically when they open up
the show that you do somebody who's most popular or whatever.
I expected, like, you know, CARDI B like Kendred, well,
Kendrick's on tour, but I don't know, somebody like.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
One of these new folks.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Not big, well not that big anymore. But anyways, so
I was like, oh, look, it's nice. You know, she
signed the jams child. Next thing I know, Maya came out.
I haven't ya came outside, Maya Baby No. She looked
good with a te Okay, I pray to look like

(06:26):

performed well. Causine he Marie came out. She looked beautiful
and I'm a leader commented that.

Speaker 1 (06:37):

beautiful gowns, beautiful gown. B two K came out and
they basically t I came out. It was basically just
a throwback. They had one on six and Park at
the AJ wasn't there for some my reason. But Free

my gosh. They did a shout out to the basement Luda.
Oh my. When I tell you this was my childhood.
Bow Wow came out and if y'all know, bow Wow
used to be mister one O six Okay, so he was.
They had to when I tell you, I wish you

(07:21):
know what I'm down, because y'all know I got I
got cameras in my house, said so don't be pulling
up on me. Okay. Anyways, I got charmeracter Baby. I
was in the Harlem shaking. I was like, I don't
think I can do it no more. Boy, I was
feeling it was so good. The tribute to Jamie. That
is one of the best tributes that I've ever did.

(07:43):
Jay Hud Baby, she sung it down. Te Payne came out,
Tang was on her. I could go on. It was
an amazing show. Jamie had me crying. It took a
lot of me to cry out, because you know, I
don't I eat my emotions. Okay, baby, Jimmy had me
teared up. Well deserved. Overall the show. I'm gonna give

(08:03):
it a ten out of ten. Okay, it was great.
Kevin Hart did Gray. I know some people behaving him way.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
He was funny. He was that's his coat, y'all. That
Red Ferdie that was that's actual coat. Usher was watching
it on TV. He was like, I didn't get my coat.
He was actual coat.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's funny.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Man.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
He scratched his name out of it on the inside
and wrote his name in it. He's so stupid.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
He could have just put the coat out. He dumb,
but overrid It was great. Kirk Franklin got Icon Award
as well, so j Carrey, Kirk, Mariah Carey, and then
some other he he who shall not be named. I
don't know who that is. I don't know who that is,

(08:51):
but anyway, yeah, it was a great show. The same
Marie Baby. Hold on Mariah's song, her new song, and
it's in a little bit lower registered that she's I
was like, I was like, babe, yeah, I was talking
to state. I said, Mariah, we know you can hit

(09:14):
those notes, but you've been in the game for a
long time, and sometimes as your body matures, not all
those notes can be there every single time like it
used to be when US twenty two no shade, no
t but baby that lower that that that range, Mariah
che Kiss no notes. Well the way I went to

(09:38):
Spotify and I said, add to library. She ate that,
And now I really they need to you know what
they need to do. You know how they did the
Millennium tour. They need to drop a hey over thirty
six get this album because the way, I can't even
remember the last time I watched the BT Wars and

(09:59):
I knew the words to most of the songs. I know,
oh the words of the songs. It was a couple
of times when I had to take it backroom, like
I said, I don't know who that is. Let me go,
let me go get a little snack. But overall the
show was great. Ten out of ten.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
No notes, absolutely yeah, oh tamar ate up melodies from Heaven.
I forgot they got to throw that inn.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yes, maybe they did a little a different little rendition
of revolution. I said, oh.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Maybe I was feeling it the people so much so.
The folks was on Twitter like, okay, turn the lights off, DC, it's.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
The show came on at seven o'clock my time, right Centrol, Yeah,
did not stop. We were supposed to do this recording
yesterday out but we didn't because of me. The B
two Wars didn't go off until eleven forty five. Insane,
eleven forty five, I said, And I told Eric, I said, oh, yeah,

(10:59):
typically cause you I'd been watching BT one for years.
I said, around like team. But I said, if it
go over, it might be like ten fifteen to ten
thirty or whatever. Right, definitely not passed ten thirty. Maybe
that ten thirty came up and I think Maria was
just getting awards and I went on Twitter and they said, dang,
they got two more awards together out. I said, they
must be doing that on the internet, right, y'all y'all

(11:25):
doing that hir tonight right right now. Babies had to
sit for another hour and fifteen. But the show was entertainment,
so I saw them. I don't know, I mean it
was it was a node to Steven Hill, that's who
used to own BT back when BT was Black Entertainments. Okay,
and they ate up. I know they had them P

(11:46):
and G sponsors, and I know they got the back.
Tell you could tell. You can tell that the budget
was budgeted this year.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
So let's me from what that mess they did last
year that they pulled. Last year, they messed, they pulled.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I'm gonna be so real, Like I remember watching a
little bit of the B two War last year, but
I knew it was so terrible. I barely remember anything
from it, that's how terrible it was. I can't even
perform like that's FRANTI. My memory is terrible.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
But still I just remember because I didn't watch it,
but I remember. Everybody's just like, what is going on?
This is ridiculous, this is disgrace, Like it was just bad.
But this year they was like somebody was back in
the scenes, was like we gonna get it together.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yep. But I was about the hold on. Last note,
on this segment of T with TV with Teresa Jay,
it was really funny. T I came out right and
some bring it back, bringing back. Do you know they
put that camera on brother Tyler Perry maybe madea came out.

(12:58):

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Uh, but y'all follow us on two of them because
I'm gonna post the clip I'm talking about. Bam oh,
let me where.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
I have to get myself together for this review because
straw on Netflix. You know, black people, we want to
call it dust straw because that's what I was calling
the straw. It's just called straw.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
This this review gonna be interesting.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Because I honestly, I remember very briefly seeing the preview
before it came out and never thought anything of it.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know, I did, I did.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
But I didn't really see it. I just saw Taraji
was gonna be in a new movie, and you know,
Tyan Taylor and Sherry Shepard was gonna be in it
and Trees this movie. I'm just gonna preface this because
we're gonna do a little bit of recap, like tell
y'all a little bit what was going on? Who I
haven't cried in a movie at a movie and I

(14:25):
don't know when, and this had me streaming tears, tears, Trees.
I don't know about you, but I had full on tears.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
I had a thug.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
She didn't cry. I'm not afraid to admit it. He
was crying. It was Oh my god, my heart was
in my stomach for so much in this movie. But
so the premise of this movie, there's a lady named
Janaia played by Taraji p and she's a single mother.

(15:03):
She has a daughter who's about what seven or eight?

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Maybe Tyler Baby's favorite truth it is, so y'all already
know where my review is going.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
And Tyler I was like, Okay, here we go. Another
single mother. She living in this rundown apartment. Her baby
is sick. She can't afford the medicine to help the baby.
And I'm like, here we go, here we go, here
we go. And she got two jobs, right, and she
trying to support this. She's trying to make sure the

(15:39):
baby's okay. And the baby got bruised because she slipped,
and so she don't want, you know, her to get
in trouble in school, so she's trying to you know,
still clean it off a little bit. And she takes
the baby to school, right, and the baby tell her
before she go to school that the teacher was making
fun of her because she didn't have the looks like
everybody else had.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Baby, I ain't gonna even lie.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
What o'clock outs, it's ready what?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
And just believe if I couldn't have it, if if
I couldn't have been there, would have called her daddy.
But daddy could have been there, I would have caught
the fab five and I said, I need you all
to pull up. Yes, you know what. They would have
pulled up, and you know what, you know what, you
know what. Matter of fact, I would have robbed the
bank too. Matter of fact, I'm buying everybody lunching here.

(16:26):
You don't think my baby ain't got no forty dollars,
you know what. I'm buying everybody lunch. Because I would
have been a part of the problem. I would have
been a problem.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
No, because that pissed me off like that. I wasn't
even crying at this point. I was pissed him, like,
you're making fun of the baby. You're gonna put it out,
You're gonna put it on front.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Street in front of the whole class too.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Mm hmmm, No, we don't do that. And so she
goes to drop she on whole mister, her going in
the midst of her going to take the baby to school.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Kids should be free at school, Anyways, by the way,
exactly why we pay taxes. But that's another story for
another different Bob.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Talk about it. And so she all her way to
take the baby to I forgot the poor baby name.
She's the whole way to take her to school. Oh,
I forgot to mention. So the night before also she
has a science project and so she built this little
robot like thing that spoiler that kind of looked like
a bomb, but anyway, it's not a bomb.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
A little baby iron hart. Okay, stay tuned because we
will be covering that show as well.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Women in Stem okay, little girls in Black, Girls in
the Stem, and so we're really gonna have fun with
this because this is not a fun movie at all.
And so she was working on that the night before,
so she dropped the baby office. Before she dropped her off,
she there's a homeless man or that stay outside the
apartment and he asked to help Tim bad Yeah, uh huh.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Because I said damn. They were like, oh, they're in
bad now. I don't know if that m And I
said dan he which Shazam Shazam was real. Okay, we're
gonna we're gonna get to that. A different podcasting Shazam

(18:16):
was a real movie. I got it on VHS at
my house and if I can find it, I will
play it live one of these days. Shazam was a
real movie.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Please find it. So for No, I've never seen it,
but I know what you're talking about, though, because everybody
they swear for now that it was a commercial that
was fake, that was really Shaquilla Neil and it was
called something else.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, unless he did a different movie. Shazam was real.
Sind Bad was the genie. The genie out. It was purple.
I remember that. I promise you. I promise you. Man,
I need to call my daddy if you know where
it said. We got some the VHS tapes at our house.
Lord lord v just showing my age. Y'all know, I'm

(19:01):
thirty six. But man, one of these days on my
fund and I will, I will, I will stream it
live for everybody to see. I am weak anyways, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
So so in the midst of this as well, sorry,
my life's going out. I hope I'm going out again.
I'm just pause it and go get me a different light.
But so then the lady who owns the partment, I
guess she's the landlord, a manager of the part raggy landlord.
Where your money? If you don't bring me your money
by the day, I'm gonna have all your stuff out here.

(19:32):
I don't care. I don't care. I gotta go. She's like,
I gotta stop by, take my baby to you know,
bring her her lunch. I gotta break at ten o'clock.
I'll bring the money my check. I get paid today.
How many of us has been there, We've been there.
I get paid today. Just let me get my check
and I will have your money to you. That's all
she was trying to tell the lady. And she was like,

(19:54):
can you tell them to be quiet because my baby
trying to sleep? Now. I ain't telling them nothing.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
They pay their rent.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
I ain't gonna tell her to stop nothing. You need
to worry about your money. Oh my god. So yeah,
it's like you over here. You know, this woman is
a single mother and she's struggling, and you're gonna be
hard on her about that. It's ridiculous. But how many

(20:19):
we've been there though, Like I said, we've been there.
We just need just I just need to get that money.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
I've always had a deadline that you have some money,
you do it exactly.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
And so I was already I'm like, oh lord, I
just knew. I said she ain't gonna have that money
by ten. I just felt it in my spirit. I
said she a't gonna have it by ten. And so
she dropped the baby off the school. The principal was
looking at her sideways. I'm like, I don't like the
principal because what you looking at her like she's crazy
for And she takes the baby go into school, she

(20:56):
go to work. She worked at the grocery store. Is busy.
I guess it's the first months. So people got their
E B T. Baby. They packing it up, stacking it.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Up and snapping it up.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Somebody call it. Somebody didn't call it, called in the work.
So they short staffed. And so her boss I forgot
the actor name. I love him. He's a good actor.
He kissed me.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Good actor because if I ever see him, I'm kicking
him in the face with a Chelsea booth.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now why you gotta kick him in the face?

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Because he was an ass.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
He was he did he was doing the long.

we're doing.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
But wait, why the customers and she's just gonna take
our little time. She's gonna walk.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Slow, ag is matter of fact, you can get to
the back of the line.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Because wait, watch the first people she'd go to ring up,
they trying to what was they trying to buy? They
was trying to buy all this food and She's like,
you can't get there with weik Oh.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
They had them wig cards and I guess you can
only buy certain specific like.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Brain baby items.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, and they was trying to buy all types of
other stuff. And that's when through a bottle of her baby,
workers com.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Look out.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
The cameras on y'all saw that workers complate.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
This is all happening in the first ten minutes of
the movie.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
And I'm just like, what is so much happened in
the first part of this movie, I'll said Jesus talking
about that luck, right.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I was like, oh my god, how is she gonna
ever deal with this, and so she had to go
get passed up. So she in the back of her
friend was like, girl, here, I got you some money.
Her best friend at the job like, he should have
that money, should have.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
You should have took that money.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Don't turn down y'all blessing. Y'all don't turn down a blessing.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
And so I could have been that forty dollars.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
It was the dollars.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Well, I would say, now we know it don't really matter,
but you would have still had more dollars in your pocket.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
And so she was like, no, girl, I ain't gonna
you need it to you know, we're all trying to
make it out here. But in the midst of her
that right a real, a true friend real down for her.
And then she get a call from the school saying
some about the bruises, and then she need the hair
to get down there. They didn't believe that she fell,

(25:18):
maybe they thought she was getting abused or something. I
was like, oh, lord, this is the last thing she
needs to be going on, and so they were like,
you need to get down her right now. And then
she told her boss like he catched you on the phone.
You on a phone on the clock. You ain't even
been here, you just got you ain't been here ten minutes,
and now you're trying to leave. I was like, oh,

(25:40):
she said, but my baby. I don't got back your baby.
I was like, oh, he has no empathy, none whatsoever.
And he was like, I tell you what you got
thirty minutes. She was like, I gotta go to the bank.
Can I get my check? You know you can't get
no check? You any better like, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, it was real foul for that, real foul for that.
She better than me, because if she's like it's right
there would have took it literally, and so when she
walked out, like bathroom break and you know what, snash
it up and it would have been in my braw hold.
That's my favorite pocket.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
And so he's given her a hard time. So he
gives her thirty minutes, and she was like, how am
I supposed to get to my baby school, give her
get the money. I need to go to the bank,
get the money out, get to her school. And I
can't do all that in thirty minutes. You better figure
it out, pretty much. And so she decides she's gonna
try to stop by the bank because she promised the baby,

(26:45):
and she was gonna bring her the money because she
also needed to go to the bank to get that
check cast so she can take the money to get
her pay her rent.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
And so.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
She goes to the bank. The super Sherry Shepherd's character
comes into play and she's like, hey, how you doing.
You know she's known her or whatever, and she tried
to cut the line. She's like, you need to get
forty dollars out and shed I'm sorry, I can't let
you do that. You gotta go back to the you know,
back to the line. But you know me, shit, I do,
I know you but rules or rules, you know, I

(27:16):
can't let you skip the line, and you know, you
just gotta wait. And so she can't wait, so she
decides to just go to the school. She goes to
the school and you got this, DS workers, they got
the baby. They pulling the baby away. The principals talk
what's going on, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (27:37):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (27:38):
What's going on?

Speaker 2 (27:39):
And which was crazy because they wouldn't do that in
the middle of the school day like that. I don't
think so well, what they don't pull them kids out
in the middle school.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
I don't know they do them for everything else now
mama business, So I think they might. I don't know
if they would. I guess it really depends on the worker.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well, now that we know the reasoning behind the scene,
I guess it had to be like dramatic like that
because and.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
So they're basically telling her that they're gonna take the baby,
they're gonna do a welfare check, they're gonna come to
the house, and they give her a card to keep
in contact. And the teacher was like, yeah, she came
up here, she comes short, she stinks. Sometimes she ain't
bathed and you you ain't on. Yeah, sometimes we got

(28:31):
know hot water, but I make do. I try to
make sure she clean, get bathed right. And so I
was like, dang, not the black lady. You like, you
see this other lady, black woman struggling with this baby,
and you're gonna snitch out like that.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, she played her a little bit.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I was looking at her sideways.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
And so.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
She loses her child to DHS custody. Then she goes
to the house and all her stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Is out on the lillon, everything on the floor.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
And not only is it all out on the line trees.
Why is pouring down, raining, pouring down.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Raining, just to put the top and on her bad.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
So in the span mind you the movie again twenty
thirty minutes in if that she had no other way
to get his recap. So after that, so she packs
up what she can in a clear bag. So the
baby's toy, that little mechanical toy that she built, she
packs that in the bag, and some other stuff that

(29:46):
she had, you know, some just random things that she wanted.
Gets back in her car, she all hold me back
to work. This car cuts her off or she gets
in front of her car, and it's this crazy Durin
man and crazy to range white man, and he decides
to help. He gonna t ball, like just hit the

(30:08):
back of our car on purpose because he can't. And
he's ramped in her car and says her car is
spinning in the middle of the traffic right and I'm like,
what's going on at what is going on here? Then
the police get there, She's like, hey, did this he
hit my car? And he lup her with her I

(30:29):
told you make sure she pays she suffered here a
cop plot twist, and of course the other cop believe him,
take his word, and before he leaves, She like, get
out of here. I'll do I'll take care of it.
If I could legally find a way to blow your
brains out, I would just give me excuse. I'm gonna
find a way mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
But y'all want us, I'm I'm gonna let alone.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Oh we always talk another pie, but they they stay there.
And so the lady was like, yeah, I'm gonna give
you a ticket. She's like, what It wasn't even my
fault because she didn't have her well, she didn't have
her license or inspired. It was aspired. Yeah, so she's

(31:21):
giving a ticket for that. She can't pay for that, clearly.
And then she was like, I'm towing your car.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
And I'm like, what kind of day is this?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Bro? Like you noticed a movie? But I'm like, what
in the world. So she get a car told she's
soaking wet. She walks back into work and she's trying
to go and he was like, two hours, lady, two hours,
two hours already called Melissa or whatever, Michelle, somebody else

(31:56):
that came up in here to take it, take over.
You ain't got no job pretty much, And she's like,
you gotta be kidding me. I need my job, or
you should have thought about that before you came back
two hours late and I gave you thirty minutes, so
you ain't got Can I get my check? At least
I'll mail it to you. What so let me let

(32:20):
me recap ustrees. She her daughter gets taken away by CPS,
her car, she gets in the wreck, car, gets told,
she gets tickets for that, gets evicted. All her stuff
is out in the open. It is a thunderstory, destroyed

(32:42):
rain store. So she's poured. Rain is pouring down on
her and now she's fired from her child.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Then on top of that, she ain't got no man
since it's struggle.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Okay, she ain't got no man either, Yeah, no man,
no woman, no nothing, nobody. Just at the end of
the day, what in the world, what kind of life
is this? All within the span of twenty thirty minutes?

(33:19):
How would you survive this trese? If this were you,
I would have called Steve.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
I want to call my man, like.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
You ain't got no man, Stevens that I hear me
help me, Lord Jesus.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I don't even know what else. I don't even know
what I would do in her situation, because unfortunately I
am not my My life story is not written by
Tyler Perry, so I would who but that since is
struggling and one thing araj you gonna do, it's struggling
survive though.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
That's what they she gonna do. I at this point
she did, I was like, where is this movie gonna go?
Because how is the d chess workers gonna do? The
cat dude to walk through the house. She had got
her house, so how is she gonna get the kid back?
She not.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Baby? They gonna come to your house and be like,
you don't have one? Then they're gonna keep that baby?

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Is it? And I'm like, oh Lord, bless this woman's heart, Like,
how could it get any worse? I honestly, I'm gonna
tell you before I even go further, I thought this
movie was gonna turn out like she has she get fired,
and she's gonna meet somebody and somehow she's gonna get
rich and then she's gonna get her baby back. And

(34:46):
I don't know where I thought this movie was gonna go.
I just I thought somebody's gonna save her. That's what
I thought.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
You know what would have been great? Like and me
and Steve we talk about this all the time this
movie MO would have been and one. Once we get
through with this little recap, all gather everything together. In
my opinion, gave way too much for the trailer. It
definitely gave John Q to me. If y'all have seen

(35:15):
that movie. If you haven't seen it, Chef skiffs, great movie, Denzel,
easy watch it. I wish literally the trailer would have
been like her having a bad day robbing a bay.
That's see, don't tell us nothing else. I think the
things which we're gonna get more into it in a

(35:37):
minute would have popped more for me. But go ahead, Well,
I didn't watch the trailer like that, So you're given
too much away from the trailer for me.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
But that's not even just this show. It's so many movies.
Take Yeah, what are we doing? Y'all have told us
the plot, y'all, and gave us the villains, y'all, and
gave us the secret plot. You know, y'all have given
us pretty much the beginning, the middle, and the end. Okay,
stop doing that in the trailers. And so she she's

(36:10):
you know, trying to get this man to give her
a check. He ain't having it. Then somebody come in
there to rob the place. Yeah, because he got all
that money out there. And she has a name tax
So he calls her name Janyah, and and she somehow
gets the gun. I forgot. She got the gun, she

(36:31):
shoots the robber. He like, you was on it. You
was in on this? Yeah? You he called your name.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, if I was in on you think I would
have shot him. I would have shot too, But I
shot the person I'm in on it with. You come
on right.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
And then so he called the police and he tells, yeah,
I've been robbed in the worker here. Janiah Williams. She
she was in on it, yeah on huh she was,
you know, and she she shoot him. I was like, oh, no,
that's the worst you think you could have done?

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Killed him? I know at all? I said, indeed, because
you know, sometimes you deserve her to the head. Sorry,
she shout him, been too far?

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Shoot him twice? No, it was once, okay, because I
thought they said he went to the chant and went
to the head. But maybe, oh she shot the other
dude to the chant. Maybe she shot him the chest. Anyway,
two shots. She got two bodies on her in the
span of three minutes. I'm like, no, and this one
was like, I still gotta cash my check, though, So

(37:40):
she reaches over all that money bypasses all the money
on the table and grabs her little check bloodstained, and.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
You can keep the check. Let me get five to twenty.
You can keep that one. I would have grabbed, I'm
lying you my one five twenty one, and I would paid.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Now that I'm thinking the back by it cis why
did you just get the five twenty from there?

Speaker 2 (38:06):
The five twenty child? Sometimes when you having a bad day,
the things that are logical do not seem logical, believe me.
And then the brain of a mother, that woman was
going through it. Sometimes you're I'm telling you, your brain
can be like this. It can be firing off in
different directions and you you own it and everything else.

(38:29):
But then you'll be making a sandwich and spreading it
with thumming shit with glue. I don't know. You just
had a long day. You looked like here, okay, yeah,
Sometimes things don't click, And at that moment, I'm thinking,
just that was just a moment where logic was just
not clicking. It was not.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
What else wasn't clicking logically?

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Was that?

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Now only the CITs, reach over and grab put all
that blood on that check to take it. She took
the gun with a two mm hmm, and she goes
into the robbers car, texts his car and goes to.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
The bank, which is funny because she couldn't. It was
across the street. Fam she could have just right across,
right across the street.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Bless myself. No, that's what I thought about that too,
because sorry, this this, this, this cold is gonna take
me out. I wasn't sneezing all day, y'all. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
And then it pulled right on.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Right when we're trying to record. And so, like she said,
the bank is across the street, she could have just
went over there. But again, logic out the window, and
so she goes into the bank. They get ready to close.
But Sherry Shepherd's person, her character, I think her name

(39:57):
was in the Cole. I believe branch manager come on
the cole and she was like, no, it's okay, I
know her. She's good. And so she get up there
and she goes to get her check cash. But before
all this happened, the detectives pull up on the sea.
That's my Tayiana Taylor baby. She pulled up with old dude.

(40:20):
I don't know who the dude. Other dude was Lord Jesus.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I've seen him in so much stuff. I don't know
his actual name, but like me either.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
And so they basically trying to conclude he is this
is the homicide. Is the bank robbery. She took the stuff,
She took it. But Tayana Taylor the only one with
some set, she said, But she left the money. It
was robbery, but she left.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
And let me tell you, release that weed from my
sister town.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
I hated it.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
I hated it. It was let my girl rock her
pixie a pixie cut. That would have been that would
have been on part for detectives. Like that works, like
her she rocking out works. Why do y'all give her
the dry ass weed? But something about that balance. But
it bounced, It did bout the dry stiff to me,

(41:11):
it was bouncing to me. The bounce was not enough.
It was a stiff bounce.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
It was like it was it was like a granny bounce,
a granny bounce. Uh. And so Tyana was like, well
her character detective, uh not Robbins. Was it Robbin's detective
something detective Tiana Taylor. That's what she's gonna be today. Uh.

(41:42):
And so uh, she's like, okay, she left the money. Interesting,
the body is looking like she had a you know,
she got fired. So she talked to the coworker, and
the coworker telling her she would do like this. She's
just a good woman. She just want to look out
for her daughter. She's trying to get medicine for her daughter.
They was like, okay, something else right, daughter has caesars.

(42:05):
She was like, okay, something else could be going on.
It could be accident, you know. So they go to
the apartment, talk to the landlord, ragging herself, trash, talk
to send baths, character the homeless man. He was like,
oh no, she only even had nothing, and she always
found a way to get me a spare change. You know.
She's a good woman, good heart, all that stuff. And

(42:28):
so I'm like, okay, they're building up a character size.
So I'm like, maybe they're going to be able to
spend this later on that you know, she you know,
she was just trying to not have a bad day anymore.
Like she was trying to take care of her daughter.
That's all. She's trying to get some money for her daughter.
We go back to the bank. Tessa pissed me off

(42:51):
this whole movie.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Tessa, you raggedy helpa.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
You don't need to work in nowhere. She don't need
to work nowhere.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I don't have a sympathetic bone in her body none.
She plays that role too well. You on the list
because if I catch you in CBS, you don't get
a mug from me. It's on and popular, soa, but
I'm gonna see you at CVS.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Tesla is the bank tailor, y'all. So she if they're
trying to cast a check, but she ain't got her ID,
and so they wanted her cast a check. She's like,
but you know me, She getting frustrated at this point.
Just I just want to cast my cat trying to
get my mother fort it out, you know me, Just
cast a check, Just do it, Just do it. It's
gonna be okay, said man, I can't do it. You
want to talk to message and just talk to men,

(43:43):
do whatever. And the man is like, no, she can't
do it. And then she put the gun on the.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
And oh girl, the other tailor pressed that button so
fast and said poop.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
She shouldn't And I was like oh lord. She didn't
even put it up there on purpose, That's the crazy
part about it. She just signed and she's like, what's
going on? What you're shaking for? Just hurry up and
cash my check? And so Nicole was like, what is

(44:18):
going on? And so she called. She's like, yeah, we
with some robbery in progress. And she has a bomb.
I said, oh, y'all, remember I told y'all that her
daughter and her built this science project thing that Loki
looked like a bomb. And so they now think that

(44:39):
this toy that the daughter built for the science fear
is an actual bomb because it's blinking, blinking red. And
I'm like, oh lord. And so now the police is
swarming outside. She's trying to get her check cash and
so they're like, yeah, just catching for it, It's okay.
And then they start pulling all this money and she said,

(45:00):
what's she going? Why is she give me?

Speaker 2 (45:02):
I don't want out?

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Is?

Speaker 2 (45:03):
I said, catch my chickets tire twenty. She should have
just grabbed that money and gone, you doing so much?
Why does she give me all this horizon? You're talking
too much? The movie should have been over, should have
been done. Were looking for? And she like, what is
what she doing?

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Why is she doing this?

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Out of town?

Speaker 1 (45:23):
And she's waving the gun and then goes and then
the man, a man charges at her and the gun
goes off, and now it's like a hog like situation.
And so and she's like, what you It was like,
you're trying.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
To rob I'm not trying to y'all think I'm trying
to rob a bake.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
I can't even adequately get the emotion that she was
conveyed because she's waving this gun. Can y'all imagine this
lady is drenched. Mind, you don't forget she's drenched from
being in the water in the storm. So she is
soaked from head to top, make up, this shovel, hair,

(46:04):
this shovel with this claire bag, with something that looks
like a bomb, a gun in her hand, blood on
her shirt, blood on everywhere. Just imagine just what are
you doing? Where? Check like, what do you do in
that situation? At that point, it's like and she said,
she not robbing a bank, but you have a gun

(46:25):
in what looks like to be a bomb. How with them?

Speaker 2 (46:31):
I would have said, you're not wrong?

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Cool?

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Sis you mind if I chake this gun? Let's just
get that out the way.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
That's messy. I don't want that right.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Five one, How would you like those bills? Okay, let's
do that.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
That's why I said you you got it done. You're
getting everything you on from me. I'm sorry, no shaking, scared. Yes,
how would you like those bills?

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Mari?

Speaker 1 (46:59):
How would you like the big bills? Wait? She said, ah,
with the gun had but give me twenties.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
I think the twenties and twenties you shall have. Let
there be twenties. There you go, ma'am.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
It was the gun.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
It was how careless she was waving the gun. She
didn't even know she had it in her hand, and
she didn't later on in the movie she was like,
I even know I have the gun in my hand.
This lets you know that not only when you're having
such a bad day that compounds in such a traumatic
level in the way that it was for her, that

(47:37):
you become completely absent minded. But then the conversation around
mental health obviously comes into play that we get real later,
But it's just like this just lets you know that
anything can happen to anybody, and like you legit don't
know what's going on, Like It's an out of body experience.
This woman didn't even know she had a gun in

(47:57):
her hand, Yo, Like, how do you even come to
process that? And then so all these people on the
outside looking in, and it's like she robbing the bank,
but she telling us that she not robbing the bank,
but she got this gun and she waved around, and
so it's like do we stay here? First of all,

(48:17):
I don't know why I stood in line, Like why
was those people still in line? That was what was
get I didn't understand that, because you know who is
nosy me.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
I would have said something. If she would have been
would I would have slowly crept right.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Back because when the first dude left, when she when
he let she left, the first dude leave, I would
have liked, why y'all, the rest of y'all they go
with her, We'll go with her. She didn't tell them
to lock of door to after the couple left, and
she was like, I ain't keep you out here, get
out go, And then Granny stayed. Blessed Grannie heart. I
don't know why Granny stayed either, knowing her sugar get

(48:54):
low and she can't stand, But I like Granny. Granny
put test check later on, I appreciate it, Granny. And
so in the midst of this, so she eventually lets
this other couple leave, the other man leave, so it's
just Granny, Nicole and the two bank tellers, Tessa and
the other one. And she's cold, right, so Nicole goes

(49:18):
get her jacket because again she's choking wet in the
air condition.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Meanwhile, this whole time, one of the tellers put their
phone up and it's live streaming.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
All of this.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
That's what I was getting ready to get to the world.
The whole world is saying. And so the detectives, they're
all outside right with the police. Everybody's pull it up
and Nicole, you know, she gets the phone from the
detective Tayla Taylor. They're trying to talk her down. That's
when they tell her about the robbery bank and so

(49:49):
she tells her story. And while she's telling her story,
the world is watching and I'm like, oh my god,
this is how they get the court a public opinion
on her side. It is like, now we see like
this woman has been through hell back and then through
hell again and now she's stuck there. And so she

(50:11):
was just Taraji. She needs all denominations, all the oscars,
all the anything that you can get for this movie,
because the way she told her story so clearly, so passionately,
so authentically, it brought me to tears because I'm like,

(50:35):
this could be somebody we know, because how many times
do we hear you never know what other people are
going through, right, we don't know? And there's a song,
you know, everybody's like this. It literally that could be me.
We used to sing a song in church. It could
have been me, you know, outdoors, no shoe, no home,

(50:56):
no food, no clothes, you know, and without a friend,
without anybody, you know. And this woman has no one.
And that's what she said. I have nobody. It's just
my daughter.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
I just wanted to get the forty dollars for my
daughter's lunch because the kids were making fun of my
daughter's attention at the school.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
And then they took my daughter from me, and I
just want to cash my check. And I got fired,
and then I got robbed in the midst of this,
and then I get blamed for the robbery.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
And now they say I'm robbing a bank and I
just come to cast my check.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
It's just five twenty, that's all I wanted.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Was my check Listen, all that girl wanted was to
cash her chick Okay, Tessa, shut up. Don't nobody want
to talk to you. Okay, Grannie, we appreciate you, you
know what I'm saying. And you can just that Taraji

(52:00):
was just she was just in a whole nother world,
you know what I'm saying. And you can even tell
her compassion, like even when the granny one feeling too
that she got everybody chairs to sit down, get on
the tree. Yeah, eventually she her blood sugar was getting lost,
she said, girl, she said, yeah, quick quick, you know

(52:26):
what I'm saying. Quickly, So it really showed her her
compassion in the moment, even in the midst And that
really goes back to show you. That really goes to
show you at the very beginning when she gave some
bath that change. That really going to show you her heart.
Like you know what I'm saying. At the end of
the day, even though this storm is pouring down on her, Okay,

(52:49):
she still can find even if it's her last, she
will still find a way to give a little or
help a little, you know what I'm saying. She's always
worried about other people around her, which I think is
the big toll, like she does so much and then
found sight of reality.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
And nobody's ever there for her. But then I loved it.
And the cales like, do you listen?

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Do you hear that?

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Jenia? Yeah, the people showed up to the bankyud they
pulled up, pulled up and was protesting on her behalf
free Junia instead of what I forgot what they were saying,
but they were pulling up front. No justice, no peace,

(53:35):
no racist police, speaking of racist police. So the man,
the police who said he's gonna blow her brains out
was out there, as was the cop.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Raggedy yourself.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Jania seized him out there. She's like, I ain't coming out, no,
not that he's gonna that's to being. He said he
gonna kill me, y'all, gonna kill me, and ain't gonna
let him kill me. I'm not coming up that one,
see my baby. And they're like, what's going on? This
is Tayanna Taylor. What do you mean? What cop? He's
out there, the one who hit me and the one

(54:09):
told me they out there. So she go and I'm
speed tracking off of this, y'all because we've been here
almost an hour and they need the lift of the movie.
And so she goes hurt and her partner finds the officer,
gets him removed. She finds the other officer that got
the ticket and gets her to spell the truth and

(54:31):
get them in trouble. And so now they're like, Okay,
he gone, Janiah, you can safely come out. She's like,
all right, I'm gonna come out, but oh before the
n I love that. You know. They let her take
the raids and the negotiation because she had experience with this,
and so she built trust and rapport with jania She's like,

(54:51):
I'm a single mama. I know what it's like to
do it on your own and I have nobody. And
she really connected with her and built that trust because
she wanted to listen to nobody else. This would not
have ended well, has she not? They not let her
do it. And then the raggedy FBI showed up and
was being stupid and was trying to send people that
are shooting down and mess up everything. And it was

(55:12):
just terrible because what do men do a lot of
times when they ain't control a specific demographics, Sometimes you know,
don't want to listen and almost ruined the whole thing, right,
But I also want a spotlight Sherry Shepherd's character, she

(55:33):
played the bat she did once she realized what was
going on, even when she found out, when she capt
her reaction the way that she picked up that bag,
she was, please, you don't have to do this, and
she was like, what are you talking about? Like, girl, chill,
it's good, It's like, it's fine, but she was like,

(55:57):
it's a bomb. That's not a bomb. She's like, no,
this is my daughter signed project, and she's like this
whole time, y'all thought it just it was executed so brilliantly.
I can't even adequately tell y'all. You have to watch it.
It's the nuance in the facial expression, it's the reactions.
It's just the absent mindedness of Taraji's character and the

(56:21):
what Nicole Sheriff's character believes is going on. It's like
reality versus the absent mindedness and what is actual perception.
It's so good, so good. But one thing that really
stood out was that she stood there with her and
she talked her through it. She made sure that she
was come and she was just walking her through everything.

(56:43):
And when she started opening about her daughter and how
sick she was. She started asking, Oh, is this your family?
Oh you got a good man.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
He treats you good.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Good, that's good. I'm glad you got somebody that you
got a big old house to him.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
I know you do.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
I love it, and so and I just I couldn't
numb a laugh. And then but one thing was she
was like, if I don't make it out of here,
whatever happens to me, I'm gonna go to jail. Cool,
I get that that's gonna happen. Could you take my
daughter for me? And I'm gonna ask my husband And

(57:22):
I know he'll say yes, because he's a good m
sweet I don't even y.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
And so she was like, yeah, I'll do that.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
I'll do it for you. And I was like, oh,
because that was my question. I'm like, somebody gonna take
the girl baby for her because we know she's going
to jail for a minute.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
So hold on, what about that ending though, Let's just
go to it. Listen, tell us about of trees, give
it to it listen.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Okay, so, first of all, wait, did you talk about
the part word Tiana in the phone.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
When they were supposed to show the picture yeah, we
talk about Yeah, I told her, I remember I said that.
He was gone, I'm gonna show you the picture or
they couldn't send it because the phone.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
There we go, So all that happened, right, So we
finally get to the point to where she showed her
to prove Toajer was like, I told y'all you see him,
that him, that's him right, and oh my god, it
just unfolded right there and I was just like, oh

(58:36):
my god. You hear the crowd outside, you hear everything.
And then basically finally to Araji Notia's on the phone,
was like, all right, Sis, come outside and is it
our Sabia? What's want to Cherry was like, damn, yeah,

(58:58):
it's not like thest.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Side, she thinks, but I'm gonna do it with you.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
You're gonna have to go outside, faun and yeah, She's like,
I'm gonna be right there by your side, but we
gotta do it. Okay, they finally come outside, they back up.
You know, she told her hands up.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
Before then the FBI come in. This is another apply
to how they plot twisted us in there before they
do all that, because what they.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Be I do now I'm finding out what they do first.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Well, what we thought they did. So before then she
get another call from her mama and her mom was like.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
No, child, I skipped over the twist. The twist, okay,
go ahead, do twists real quick.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
So her mom calls like, Jani, what you ever. Ribbing
the bank? She said, Mom, ribbing the bank, they got
my baby. I'm just trying to get it. She was like, Jenny,
she died.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
I was like, no, last she died.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
The baby died. I was like, no, the baby.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
And this was crazy because this is when we really realized,
like this happened over a day, like this was in
a number of days that she had to deal with
all this.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
This was this was like twelve hours. Because they kept saying,
we've been here for twelve hours. I'm like, oh my god,
she been in this bank for twelve hours.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
You know, it's been a long day.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
And so I moms, like, she died last night. I
was like, no, the baby died. All this for forty
dollars for the baby, and she died. But then, if
you remember back from when they showed us at the
hospital in the very very beginning and when she was
telling her story about how she had to raise the baby.
How the baby was sick and she you know, they

(01:00:42):
said she wasn't gonna make it, and she pulled through.
She was beating the eyes and all this stuff. They
go wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
This is another plot hole for me. Okay, how are
you making it sound like the baby that been through
all this made it sound like she had some like
genetic something so something crazy. Never ranted. Seizures are definitely serious.
Asthma definitely serious. But when she said my baby got asthma,
I know that's not what took her out. Was it

(01:01:13):
the asthma? It's likely the seizures. She probably had a seizure.
Trees too bad, miss the plot.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
You missed the twist. The baby didn't exist. The baby
died in the birth of when she had her. That's
why they went back to the They went back to
the flashback. The baby was gone. That's why I remember
she They flashed back to her going down the stairs
and she was looking at something and nobody was there when.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
She dropped out. She passed the night before, not at birth.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
No, she never had her, like she's been gone for
a long time, like the daughter has been dead. Are
you sure I think she I don't I know the
daughter's dead. Oh no, it was last night. You yeah,
last night, because that's.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Why when she went to the school and you know
when they recap, when she like way and like all
right by the girls was like, that's why she did
that crazy look because you know, you can tell she
knew her.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
But she was looking like, so she died the last night. Okay.
I thought they were saying she died. A baby died
last night, because you you can.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Still see because even when they recapped, you saw the
baby stuff, like even her food still there, her headphones
all that. But yeah, I thought, but I was like,
died last night.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
The baby died last night. Okay, that's what I thought.
But I was like, oh, they trying to say she
didn't exist at all, because I was like, oh, lord,
like she really messed up. If this baby was gone
since birth?

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
No, now go said clip to be for sure, because
I don't. Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure that the mama
said or the grandma whatever she said that the JENNI
passed last night.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
That's what I That's what I heard too, And so yeah, okay,
chah whatever, it was baby gone this whole time.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
She basically lost such a reality and didn't want to
accept that her baby had passed, so she created what
she didn't. We're no pun intended and now listen, Oh,
go ahead, No, that's that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
I was just gonna give my overall thought of the movie.
Do you want to give yours?

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
You Let me just do my first Oh so, oh
the FBI twist, Oh, let me do that before you remember,
they showed the FBI busting in before she could put
the gun down, they came in, they shot her and
killed her. I thought that. I was like, oh lord,
they didn't kill the they didn't. They just do all
this bill sherry up, I said. But then there was

(01:04:00):
all her head again. And then like Tree said, they
walked out, put the hands up, slowly, turned around, and
they take her in the custody and end of the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Yeah, yeah, she plead in Tannity fam Definitely I would,
I mean, and it's truth. She went a little insane
and then the.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Whole world got it on footage like she told what
happened step by stead everything.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
So my overall thoughts of the movie. Okay, So if
I'm rating the movie, I'm giving the movie like six
out of ten maybe, And let me let me preface this,
all right. I am a very avid movie watcher, so
I didn't see the twists coming with the thing. I
will say that I didn't see that twist. I bumper

(01:04:49):
the twice seven for that. But in my defense, and
my review is probably a little biased simply because I
was at my sister law house and I watched the
end of it before I watched the whole movie, so
that definitely probably has an effect.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
On my review.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
But overall, I'm not gonna lie to you. I just
went in, like, all right, this is another Tyler Perry film,
and he'd da da da da. He does this, he
does that. We already know the thing he does. He
likes to make a black woman struggle da da da.
You know, whatever he does, he likes for us to

(01:05:28):
struggle or whatever. Right, And I saw somebody on Twitter say,
y'all be complaining about Tyler Perry movies and he always
make a black woman strugle. But y'all watch baddies. But
we watched Tla Pair movies too. Listen, there are a
lot of things I watched that I don't agree with.
But you keep me entertaining enough, I'm gonna stay seated.

(01:05:51):
And I'm gonna be very real. I am going to
continue Tyler pair I'll look it up. Tyler Perir has
thirty movies and I've probably seen at least twenty many
of them at least, And I'm gonna complain about him
doing women black women specifically dirty every time. But you
know what, most of it is real life. It really is,

(01:06:13):
it really is. I really do have to give that
to him. Now. Sometimes things are a little far fetched,
it is okay, and we do need better wicks.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
We do, we do.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
But overall, I mean, you keep you. If it's entertaining enough,
people are gonna watch it. But honestly, the cast was great.
Taragi Taraji deserves more flowers than she gets because that
woman acts down she does, and that alone she made
that movie. I don't know anybody else that could have
played that role. She did an amazing job. Sherry did

(01:06:48):
a nice supporting to us a you raggedy. I don't
like everybody played the role very well in this movie.
So I do recommend you watching it. I mean, well,
we done told you all the whole movie, so you
you've seen it, So if you haven't seen it, go
look at it. But olrighty was a good movie. Well,

(01:07:10):
am I gonna put this on again? Probably not, But
you know I'm gonna support Tyler Perry just because he's
a black man, and we gotta support our black directors,
our black writers, our black producers, our actresses, actors, all
of that. So maybe if I hadn't seen John Q

(01:07:32):
my mind, I wouldn't have went in because when I
first saw the trailer, I said, this is basically John Q.
If I wouldn't have saw that, my I probably my
brain would have been skewed a different way, like and
saw this as something new. But I am in that.
I am stuck in this whole thing where we're doing
the same movies but just different remakes. And that's how

(01:07:53):
I feel about this. It was basically John Q with
the little twist of the mental break. But overall, Taraji
did her thing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Dare I say, dare I say? This was probably one
of her best performances like.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
This.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
She took this role like she made you believe it,
Like that's why I said, I was bawling and like
I was literally in ta I wasn't balling, but I
was definitely like those little quiet tears. It just kind
of stream up because the therapist in me the heart
and b was just like oh no, like ah, it
was just so much going on, and I just couldn't

(01:08:33):
help but truly feel where she was at and just
having all these things come at her from the left,
from the right, from the side, from the top, from
the bottom, and all she's trying to do is do
right by her baby, and the system and the people
around her in reality and racism and everything else. You know,

(01:08:56):
it's just stopping her from being the great mother that
we know her to be where she's trying to be.
It was just unbelievable. And Taraji deserves every pedal on
every flower for this role. Yep, and.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
She really does. She deserves every single flower. She did amazing,
she did great and us speaking of another thing that
Tyler Perry is uh creating divorced sisters. It's coming down
on bet goddamn. Am I gonna watch it?

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
Am I gonna complane?

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Yeah, but it do look good.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Listen, I am Listen. I might talk about my people,
but I'm gonna support my people, Okay. Matter fact. Shout
out to the Sinners being one of the top grows
in Horror fin that was on the list. So another
black movie. If you have not seen Centers yet, watch it.
It is now on streaming platform by It.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, he's saying of your things. My review,
I would give it eight out of ten, eight and
a half out of ten for me because, like I said,
I there hasn't been a movie that evokes so much
emotion for me like that in a long time, and
just because of him making her struggle. First of all,
they finally made a tweet or a video about this

(01:10:33):
next movie, you have Taraji and there. She better be rich, married,
she better have a family. She had better be the
best friend in the group that everybody looking up to.
She better be the light, the star, the move and
the sun.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Listen, because I won't since to get a check I do.
He keeps her, he keeps her employed. Okay, but.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
So yeah, other than give us literally yeah, other than
the usual trope for having a black woman suffer. That's
the reason why I'm taking that one point five away.
But other than that, the movie blew me away because
I do not know what to expect from it. And
I love the twists. I love all the actors actress

(01:11:17):
that played They rose. They did an amazing job and
the story that it told, and it really was a
story about empathy and truly empathizing with the people around us,
because we never know what people are going through. So
this is your like, just check on people. Check on
your friends, your strong friends, your weak friends, all the friends, rich, poor,

(01:11:37):
in between, your family.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
Your friend, I callow you back. It's probably a reason
for that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Yeah, So just check on.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
Sometimes you don't need to call your friends. Let me
just say that because they're ragged.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
Oh my god, here you go.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
Sorry, y'all, that was a diric shot. She knows who
she is.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
And check on your family. Support your family and the
people that you love. Yeah, and just talk to them.
You never know what people are going through. Just be
there to listen, be a shoulder of support for people,
and just hear people out even if you don't understand.
Just listen, Yes, listen something.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
It is free to listen. It really is. It really is.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
And you never know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Like, sometimes people don't want advice, Sometimes people don't want help.
Sometimes they just need to vent. And sometimes just being
a year and being there can change someone's you know,
outlook on life. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
Just listen, be encouraging, that's all. Listen, empathize yep.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
And I'm putting some money on to watch your books,
Jenia's books, Janayah.
