Show about Nothing. It's shade next.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah, come on select that, yes, yes, yes, oh yeah,
appropriate timing. It was just labor day.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
It was, it was. I didn't hear of any bad reports. However,
there was a fight with a Joe Butden podcast host
and somebody else Pondie Parkway.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Wait what.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
One of the hosts on the button podcasts, I don't
know their names, nigger one, I don't know. One of
them got into an altercation on the Parkway and I

(02:33):
don't I don't know really the whole thing. I just
know that I just saw this on the social media,
you know. And speaking of social media, they listen down
because you know, I don't. I don't partake in the

(02:53):
in the micro blogging is like the shade room and
these things. But ever since we brought up Jason Lee
that one week. That's all I sure.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Listen, okay, wait, okay, Queen's flip gets into a fight
during the Labor Day parade. Oh he was, Oh lord.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Mark Lamont Hill is on the Joe Budden podcast.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
That's where I saw Jason Lee where he was being
messy bitch that lives for drama and talking about Mark
Lamont Hill's past relationship with Melissa Ford, which is like, okay,
so what like that? Niggas married and moved on, like
what are we doing? What are you doing? You're such
a bitch, Like okay, Well, niggas were fighting on the parkway.

(03:36):
Nothing's new. It was relatively.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I was. I didn't hear any ill doings as you
normally would hear, you know what I mean, any but
happy Labor Day, juvet and all those things to those
who celebrated and and all that jazz.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Oh Noah celebrated.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Honey, she did, she was, she was very trinny.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
She did not do kitties. But they went to kitties.
So they got up on Saturday and they went to
Kitty's Carnival is the children's portion of so you know
that we have a very large West Indian Labor Day
parade on every Labor Day, and then also the weekend
itself is you know, full of festivities. So she went

(04:34):
to Kitty's Carnival, her father, her grandmother, her aunt, and
then after that they went to Panorama to be very
trinny to judge the bands that were playing. And she
sat through Panorama, and then her and her grandmother went
to go you know, peak peak on no string and
see what's going on, you know, with juve and all

(04:56):
of that as well. So she was very I.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Love her grandmother that still try to be a part
and be in the mix. I appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Oh, my mother in law, she don't first of all,
So we went to shout out to Stella's. We went
to Stella's for brunch, which, by the way, if you
are in New York, especially if you are in Brooklyn,
you need to go to Stella's in general. But they
also have a Sunday brunch, So they have brunt or
Saturday and Sunday Sunday for sure, I know, but they
have delicious brunch options. There's a jerk chicken hash, you know,

(05:29):
and it's and everything is like properly cooked by a
proper Jamaican shout out to you, Dwayne, as you can
tell by his name. So I you know, I myself
have a hard time diverting from my usual I get
really busy with the house, creole, whole snapper head on
and everything. But it comes in this delicious tomato okra

(05:51):
onion sauce, and I give you some rice and peas
steam veggie. The mac and cheese is fire like, go
to Stellar's, Okay, then I sent you. But yeah, she
went to go be there. She had curry like four
times all weekend. Your girl, Your girl had.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
A timely night. Where's my heart a little bit? Well, yeah,
that's good that she had a good time for for
the Labor Day, especially now that she got to go
back to school.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yes, yeah, she's back in school already, which that you know,
was a pain in my fucking ass because giving parents
giving kids half days for a full Monday through Friday
situation with no offer of after school because it's not
in effect yet, that that first week is a living nightmare.

(06:50):
If your kids do not take public transportation by themselves
or you know, live close to the school, it is
it is just dropping a nigger off at eight o'clock.
And picking them up at noon cut your whole day.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
So yeah, that's so inconvenient.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
And I know them teachers was irritated too, like you
gotta be coming to this bitch for four hours? Like
I don't know if they have to stay after or whatever.
But I don't know. I just did not understand it.
I was irritated about it. And maybe I sound like
an entitled title, but I was like, come on, nigger,
like four hours, Like what am I supposed to do
with What am I supposed to do with that? But

(07:30):
she got through her first week of seventh grade. I know,
I know, as you all are listening to the first
two weeks of seventh grade.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Seventh grade was a fun time. Yeah, I think of
what happened. My best friend at the time was Eric
Thames who plays for the Mariners now. But yeah, what
else happened in seventh grade? Oh? I was also one
of those people who, you know how people who had

(08:03):
teachers who passed away during the year. My teacher passed
away during the year cancer. It was kind of sad.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
That's sad, that's sad.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah. That was also the year that Pokemon dropped. I
want to say.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Burger King restaurants are no longer just the home of
the Whopper. Pokemon toys and cards are now included in
the kid's meal, but happy hunting. Shane and Danny Smith
didn't have much luck today.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
So we called around different Burger Kings and they're.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
All sold out.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Seventh grade was the year. It was this Nigerian girl
named Precious. Shout out to you girl. I'm sorry because
Precious Precious passed away. That that was that happened seventh grade.
That was very sad. I'm sorry, I am so, I
am all mixed up. Blessing passed away seventh grade just

(09:02):
wanted to fight me for something I didn't do. So
I think I've told you this story, but refresher. You know,
we're all you know, everybody's convening and sitting and you know, also,
I just want to preface this in a quick disclaimer
that the nineties was a toxic time, you know what
I mean, Like kids were mean, you know, diaspora wards

(09:24):
weren't a conversation that should have been like there was.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
We used to use terms like African booties, crasher and oriental.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
And shit right the shit like it was. We could
have banded together and probably been running this shit by
now if we you know, did not fall victim to
white supremacy. But anyway, that has nothing to do with this,
but also everything to do with this. So you know,
Precious was a sizeable girl, you know what I'm saying,
for seventh grade, which I think about now with Noah,

(09:54):
because Noah is tall. Right, she towers over a bunch
of her friends like your girls, wearing a size ten sneaker.
She's looking me in the eye. She's not quite my
height yet, but she's almost there. We're looking in the eyes,
and you know, we're wrestling like your girl is big
now she's tall. So at the time, Precious was very

(10:16):
tall and statuesque, you know, for compared to many of us,
many other of us in seventh grade. And baby, she
liked to snatch that waist with a belt and she
would snatch it. Okay, she was snatched that belt, honey,
and Precious came through it and not right now like
it's fierce, let's talk about it. She shaved her head

(10:36):
off seventh grade and came in with some big earrings
and it was like, go off, Precious, right. I didn't
have no beef for her, but my homegirl Keisha, who
was a clown. She was like, think Kim Parker. So
Keisha had no malice, but she was a clown. She
liked to joke, and Keisha was about to try to
get me fucked up. And as Precious was tall and

(11:00):
that you asque in seventh grade, Jade was not so.
So Precious comes in with that belt snatched and here
go Keisha, Precious, can't you breathe? Then she gonna point
at me. She said it, she said it. Precious looked
at me. She said, you will be breathing when I

(11:20):
knock you the fuck out. I was like, hold on, man, Precious,
I didn't even say that, nigga, Like, I did not
say it. So all day that was at the top
of the day, all damn, like god damn. Now I'm
gonna have to fight Precious because I can't just like
take it like I'm not guilty, but I can't just

(11:41):
stand there. I said, I'm like, I'm gonna have to
hit this bitch in the thighs like I'm just trying
to figure out how to move. And finally, being Precious
came to a head at the end of the day
and she came up in my face and I was like, Pressure,
I'm gonna stop you right here before anything goes further. Bitch.
I didn't say it, and she was like, who said it?
I was like, I ain't telling you. I was like,
but I didn't say it. I was like, you know

(12:03):
that even sound like me so coble with like cut
the ship. Pressure was like fine. She walked away. We
didn't end up fighting, but I was like, goddamn, like,
I'm running around this bitch like Kat Williams, trying to
hide from fucking pressures. You know what I'm saying. Because
I didn't want to. I didn't want to get that
bitch of the needs. I was gonna have to get
it in the knees because I wanted toupent a time.

(12:23):
Had to do that to a bitch name. Oh it
started with a H. It wasn't a Chelsea though. What
was her nick? Chassity. Chastity was a big bitch who
I had to get a couple of years later. But
that's another story for another day.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Oh boy, my week was cool. I what happened? Something
happened that was good and I was supposed to mention
it on the show, and I guess that whatever I get.
I mean, there's this. I'm under a lot of stress currently. However,

(12:59):
I do know that I will be okay. I think
retro grade, not even retro grade. I don't know if
I've talked about this over the years of this show,
but if I haven't get into it. I hate the
month of August. It is the longest, hottest, most draining

(13:27):
month ever. Everything that everything eli that could bead happen
happens every August. Financially, I fucked up mentally, I'm fucked
up physically, a fucked up Like it's just it's just
a fucked up month.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
And so now that we are in a month that
makes sense, you know, where there's holidays and things moving, like.
I hate months that that are stagnant, you know what
I mean, Like it's just still here. Agust is still
air march depending upon where you lie, because there's no

(14:05):
holiday in it.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
So you got but you got the equinox. Okay, you
I forgot who I'm talking to.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
But you know what I mean. Like, there are some
months that I feel like they got no breathing room,
Like it's just stifling.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
January and August, I think are the two biggest ones.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, January, Yeah, August.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
You know what I'm saying, everything's slow even when I
was in the service industry. You know what I'm saying,
Niggas don't go out to eat January because they're trying
to recoup from the holidays.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
You know.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Sometimes they're trying to carry out the holiday past the holidays.
That's nice, but for the most part, like niggas not
really going out to eat, you know what I'm saying,
Like everything's kind of slowed down. So January kind of sucks.
And you're right, August kind of sucks. You're not even
supposed to eat oysters in August, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
M m mm hmm. It's the and of summer without oysters,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Exactly, which, by the way, there was a poisoning. There
was like bad oysters, they said, coming out of Louisiana
for a little while.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I know I heard. Oh, I have been I have
been reducing my seafood usage a kind of like shellfish,
I should say. I have moved on to tuna, and
I've been eating a lot of tuna lately just because
it's lighter in protein. I think you and I were
having this conversation about how breakfast has become way less

(15:35):
than what it used to be.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, now it's toast and coffee. But I realized I can't.
I have to added protein to it because oh my.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
God, I had that same thought today.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yes, so I was like, well, what's light enough and
what's fling? Because I work out so much now, And
it was like tuna. So I have like a little
avocado and little little tuna pouches. Okay, very convenient. Okay,
you know, salt and pepper, squeeze the limbs.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Are you akay? Are you? Are you a shimi girl?
Can you do a little rawsh situation or not? So
you might want to get yourself some some sushi gray
tuna too. You can make a little like tartar situation.
You know, you do some avocado, you put a nice
little pond zoo. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying,
a little honey and chili and like stuff like that too.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Like yesterday I and today I had. I made like
a quick tuna soud But I don't use mayonnaise in
my tues because of health reasons now. But I use
a little bit of olive oil and then you season
it up and then I'll have an egg sometimes, like yesterday,
I had an egg because I was like, I know,
I have to work out today, so they're fighting extra protein.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, that was I started working out again finally after
I've been lying about it for the last two years,
so I've finally started. And I was like, you gotta eat, girl, Like.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta eat otherwise you'll feel like shit
if you don't. Yeah, you know, and it's not effective
if you don't.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Exactly nothing to burn, it's burning muscles.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, But otherwise my week was fine. I didn't really
I'm trying to think, did I see somebody? Did I
hang out with people?

Speaker 4 (17:24):
We had a cookout, so I hung out with some
of the homies. It was also a jet member. We
had that episode Nigga All Astrology. I don't remember what
we called it, but Jasmine was on. It was Jasmine's birthday,
so Verygo season is in full effect. So we had
a nice little cookout. You know, I'm not going to

(17:46):
call it an end of summer cookout because I would
like to at least throw some things on the grill
one or two more times.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Where we have twenty days.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Exactly exactly and my birthday's coming up, so I might
want to throw some things on the grill for that,
you know what I mean? Like just so that's we
did that this weekend had a fabulous pie. I got
a pie for her birthday, A honey salt pie. It's
what it's called. Now, listen, hear me out. It does

(18:16):
the name doesn't no justice?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Are you a.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Custard pie person?

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'm a pie person?

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Okay, so think family. This is a custard family, all right.
But it's sweetened with raw honey and then you sprinkle
salt on it at the end. Nigga, that ship was
so fucking delicious, Like we didn't even I knew. I
was like I wanted to crust like a classic like

(18:48):
uh you know, like let's say British European water crust
for all intents and purposes. Yeah, just you know, just
a heavy pie crust.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
It was.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
It was a good decent crusts No, it was a
good crust. It was a good crust. But that fucking
like I want that pie now.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Because in my head I'm thinking of like either grab
cracker or like bisca.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
It would have been too sweet. That would have made
it too sweet. Because it was a sweet custard because
of that honey, and then that salt cuts it up
that you that you top it off with, So it
actually needed more of a classic flower based pie crust,
otherwise it would have just been overpowering. It was phenomenal.
I don't think I've had a pie that delicious in

(19:36):
a long time. So I did that this weekend. And
did you know that Luigi Mangioni is now a digital
model for Shian. He was the model for a floor

(20:00):
old shirt of their spring summer collection.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Is this on now?

Speaker 7 (20:06):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Just google Luigi man she.

Speaker 7 (20:09):
In louis she model? Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
It definitely is. How about that.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
AI is It's insane.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
It's insane. I have I have a brand about A yes,
and it's not necessarily I have different views or I'm
not as rigid about AI as a lot of people.
But I'm currently going through something that was that was

(20:54):
flagged by A basically and this I'll reframe it this way.
A lot of friends that I have and many of
you are stuck in limbo in the job market industry
right like you're trying to find a job and this
should sucks. Nobody's calling back, Nobody is even seeming to

(21:18):
even look at your resume. You see it, and then
twenty seconds playter you get an email saying like we're
moving on to another candidate. But I have been reading
about AI and the perils of yes, the environment and stuff,
but I've been reading into a how it impacts work

(21:39):
workplace as well as human as humans in general, because
there's way too many people who are committing suicide through air,
which we'll talk about that later, but there is a
movement where these companies are taking on these tools like

(21:59):
AI to assist them quote unquote with hiring. However, they're
like they're super faulty and they're just rejecting a whole
bunch of potential applicants. So like, and then I think
about like just customer service, right, like I have a
banking issue and everything is through AI. Then you tell

(22:22):
the AI to contact you with the customer service agent.
The customer service agent, you might finally get one. But
they're using AI. It's just one big what's that movie
where everybody was sewn together by their mouths and buttholes.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
And yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
That's what that's what this fucking feels like the humans centipede,
right like They're like, it is it is this never
ending cycle of butthole eating, and it is it is
gonna go away. And I hate that, right, Like I
ha been so ingrained in us. It's not like we
can opt out of it, right, It's happened before we

(23:05):
even became cognizant of the perils of so you know
where I always be like, be judicious and stuff, use
it and the tools of matters of which you should.
But I also I'm like, this sucks for people who
are trying to make a decent living. We're in an
economy that is holding on by a one tenth of
a counter here, So like I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Like the teenius little follow cool, Like yeah, it's bad.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
It's so bad. So I'm like AI AI is ruining
things in specific, nuanced ways, like yes, it's when we
talk about like environment and stuff. It's really big and
a lot of people just be like, oh, I'll give
a fuck fuck it. But these small things small add

(23:53):
up to the bigger picture of why the ship sucks.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Holds on. I'm trying to see if I can find
this page want to call it out for She's very helpful.
She's very helpful when it comes to like digital h
you know, combating digital ship as we're all going through

(24:19):
it these days. Oh here she goes cyber for rita
so c y b e r f A r e
e d a h she Oh, she helps, she helps
parents to protect their kids online. I want to say
she also is she the one who also yes, you

(24:43):
need to know her. There's another lady too though, who
also combat and also who's doing work around that is
uh Morgan Debon. She makes a lot of content around
different ways to combat and identify AI in the difference
threats of it as well, so you know, she makes.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
A very yeah she I when I was looking at
her through Getting Grown page, I was watching and she
was explaining breaking down AI and how people are using
or now once used to use faceless AI profiles content
and that you can't do that anymore. But she was warning,

(25:26):
you know, how easily people can make people through this,
you know. But yeah, she's a good resource over she
found in blavity, right.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah, yeah, she found blavity.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
But yeah AI AI is ruining things in a small
nugget and the environment, yes.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
And your brain and your creativity and your yea.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
This is also a rant someone suggested, you know, we
should go on Total signe Out. They were like, I
love the long Day. Next the episodes, I was like,
we used to do very long episodes, but not anymore. However,
I say all that to say, sometimes, you know, when
we do like long episodes, it brings in a lot

(26:24):
more conversation. And so what I've learned through this AI
conversation is that a lot of folks just aren't paying
attention m Like, you know how like you and I
will say something on the show, or you'll be on
Getting Grown, or you'll say something and that somebody will

(26:44):
comment and be like, how did I miss this? I
feel like, girl, we was saying this for like four years,
and so I say this because we know there are
people who are like we talk about I'm not shading listeners.
This is just people at my real life who I
talk about this stuff continue to do it. Like Chris

(27:07):
and I were talking about a digital blackface and this
idea of how these AI movies and videos that people
be sharing, and it'd be like these clapback videos and.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Bitches are putting whole chicken legs in their mouth and
ship yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
And talking about clapping back at some white man. So
it's very it's nasty minstrel show. Yeah yeah, where people
like this is funny, ha ha ha, and it's just.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Like, you know, it's not because that bitch just put
a rib in her mouth bone and all, and like
nobody blinked twice.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah. So my point is as much as we talk
about we don't have to keep talking about it and
for people to finally get it through their heads like
maybe this isn't okay.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
And listen, am I like, am I totally in the
dark to say that chat GPT as an example or
other methods of AI haven't been helpful. Yeah, but just
like everything else, just like the internet was once upon
a time helpful still can be. They just always take
drag way too fucking far.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
There you go, so label take drag way too far
and ruin it for everybody in the entire human race.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
Exactly. Let's pay some bills and then I have a
little just a little speaking of nostalgia and things that
once where I just have something else I want to
chat with you about.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Oh I to tell you, actually I have to tell
you a story of camera.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
I also have news. We need to do news.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Okay, well, let's do news first, then we'll pay bills. Okay,
we'll come back.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Great, all right, time stamp people who hate news. So
for the third year in a row, at this point,
over six hundred students, which I'm sure it used to
be much more because remember they've been killing children at
disgusting rates. Students and gods are losing out on education

(29:09):
due to a genocide, ongoing targeting on infrastructure, and also
this just you know, this is another attack, So think
about every single aspect of this genocide. Is not just bombing,
it's not just shooting. It is also it's not just
using illegal weapons to literally vaporize people, but it is

(29:32):
also an attack on education, an attack on you know,
with food, so famine. All of these different different tactics
are all tactics to contribute an aid and the erasure
of the Palestinians. So there's also several flotillas that are
en route to Palistine now to drop off aid. You

(29:56):
said what she was? I? Oh shit. They they ended
up having to d boat. What's the I don't know
what the what the word is? Yeah, it was like
it's not deplaying. They had to get off the boat
due to weather. But I believe as of right now,

(30:17):
they are back. They are back going. So you know,
we're just gonna We're just gonna pray, because these people
are not people. These demons are evil. They're evil, heartless,
soulless individuals who are showing exactly what their motives are.
Is there now there is no more North Gaza. Essentially,
they are wiping that ship out from left to right

(30:39):
so that they can try to rebuild on it. In
addition to war and genocide and Sudan, they are also
dealing with climate change. There was a landslide in the
Turston village. Now as of right now when I'm when
we are recording this, it seems like the fatalities were
actually very minimal and there was there's no official number

(30:59):
as a right now as I'm talking about this, but
as we just spoke about AI, remember that this is
hitting all over the place. It hits here, it's hit grease,
uh and recently Sudan. So climate change is affecting us
all and who has time to be dealing with landslides
in the middle of also just trying to stay alive

(31:20):
Like this is cruelty. We're about to say.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
I had posted on Blue Sky, but this is so true.
Like I hate science deniers, yeah, right, like climate change
denier because essentially you're a science denier. Yeah. And I'm like,
you can't be a science denier if you like big
goods because.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
The most exactly.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Baking is chemistry. Yeah. And if you fuck up and
you happen to live wherever the fuck above sea level
and you forget to add an extra flower, whatever, ruins
your whole day. Right. So my thing is there is
a people actively refuse science when or we refuse their

(32:10):
own interests when money and greed is on the line.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
If you've ever had to pick up a jacket and
take it with you to go to dinner at the
end of August, but you continue to say that climate
change is not a thing, you are a science denim.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
I was in when we went to the beach. Normally
the Pacific Ocean. It's a little warmer, but it's not
as you know, it's not like going to the wherever
other country whatever. When I tell you Jade that water
was warm.

Speaker 8 (32:44):
Like.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
If the shoes are hot, they haven't flesh.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
I was like, this is Bua base.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
That's what I'm saying. I'm getting ready to make a
Manhattan clam chowder later like there's a small level of this.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yeah, I damn.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
The wells, the wells. Oh my god, that makes me
so sad. Did you ever see that video of those
crocodiles and Indonesia that pretend to drown so they can
lure niggas into the water? Do they hands? What little hens?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Still?

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Wales have to be able to do that? I guess
they figured it out away home.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, well, you know poachers and oh yeah, tip over
the boat?

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Oh yes, I like that. Yeah, we love what animals
take back the night. I don't think we've done a
proper episode on that, but we probably should soon, like.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Different because there needs to be visual.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Oh that's fine, Yeah, yeah, one day soon. On the Patriot,
I'm gonna make you all watch Nature's Metal. But that's
another conversation.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
I'm tell you we need to watch that. The series
with Soccer Comma. That shit was crazy. I meant to
show it to you when you were here. It is
a reality series but with animals.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
Oh yes, you did talk about Yeah, okay, we're about
to watch that.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Tell you. Soccer Kamma left his family, showed up two
years later with a new family with his new kids,
and was like, y'all better come up here and love
one another. Y'all better get along nerve when the women killed,
because you know, men don't do nothing. So when the
women got the food, pushed everybody away to make his

(34:35):
new bitch and his kids eat first and then let
everybody else eat. I was like, you see, not Demontras regardless,
exactly exactly, It's just it's on the Disney.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Okay, we're gonna watch that on Patreon. Yeah, what else
is happening in the news. Kamala's secret service protection has
been moved, which is.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Wait, let's take a break first, okay, because I have
words about that. Okay, pay bills, yes, subscribe to us,
get Patriot all that link in the description hit a claude.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Tell your friends, tell your cousins, your great grandmothers.

Speaker 9 (35:23):
After these messages will be right back.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Security wasn't a place. The security wasn't the place. And
here's what it is. What I like to do doing
executive protection with my principle is making sure I am
in the way. Does that make sense? So I'm that
barrier okay, and we're black, so yes, Kamala. Yeah. So now,

(35:56):
at first, when I read this, but you see the
headline is jarring, and then when you read it, it's like, Okay,
typically constitutionally, vice presidents don't get security secret service for
that long, for like six months. Presidents only presidents and

(36:17):
certain like members of Congress, And like, I didn't just
happen to extend hers, you know.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
To copy copy, copy copy, you.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Know, as you know, you don't need this extra protection
because of what the fuck is about.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
To happen, and you are a black lady.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
You also need to atone for Anita Hill and stuff, right,
you need.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
To atone a lot. But also that doesn't mean you
should just get Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
So that's why, and this is why I wanted to say,
like media, media is, even liberal media is all complicit
in how we are here today and how they will
use headlines, and even the media that's supposed to be
for us, it's all sensationalized and yeahs to everything has

(37:12):
an agenda or an angle as opposed to presenting facts. Yeah,
And so that's why people get so enraged and riled up,
because I'm like, when you look at what I've read
the thing with the removal of the thing, I was like,
oh my gosh, she's out here, you know, like she's
about to be unsafe, and I'm like, well that's yeh, No,
you are correct.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
But also the other side to that is that even
if that is not typical or standard, there are still
white vice presidents and politicians who continue to keep their
their protection status. And so while yes, we have to
do we have to click past the headlines. Also it

(37:55):
is some form of an attack because you're trying to
leave how vulnerable, knowing knowing the division you know, in
this country, and knowing the hatred that exists within this country.
So it was absolutely meant to be a hateful move
in addition to that. But you are not wrong as well.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, her book is primarily about the campaign and how
she warned everybody, well she actually.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Won and they anyway, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
do that. So there's that, okay, So you know, and
the ongoing immigration attacks and the misuse of federal military
whatever the fuck, and in many facets mind you. So

(38:48):
there was a very one of the largest fires actually
in Washington State. It was specifically it was specifically uh oh,
it was Washington's largest wild it was large, Washington's largest wildfire.
After that wildfire being fought by many firefighters. Twenty people

(39:11):
were detained from the firefighters. Okay, two were arrested and
taken away. So they were members of the Yuma, Tilakayu,
and Wallawalla nations and they were detained by ice after
battling this ten thousand acre fire. There's two issues here

(39:32):
because it is right. First of all, it removes help
from the community. So when you're detaining multiple firefighters in
a vulnerable community as it is, while the fire is
still active, why would you remove more hands to help this?
You know why? Secondly, where the fuck do you deport

(39:55):
people indigenous to the goddamn land? Where the up do
you report? Where do you deport these people?

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Apparently Guatemala with that other random African nation that I
had never heard of until the other day where they're
sending people.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
Oh, yes, yes, what is it? Is it on the
Ivory coast. We're going to pull that up because we
need to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
I want to say it's on the coast where Madagascar is.
I want to say, that's the Africa over here at
the right side. Did you just say Africa the continent
of Africa? Yes, I know that, I am I didn't see.

(40:41):
I am learned.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
I know you are. That's why it was shocked. Shocking
all right, So where the northeast southwest before? Yes, but
also not funny issue. Also, hundreds of Guatemalan children, hundreds

(41:08):
of Guatemalan children have been so they were set to
be deported by this administration because it was all federal.
They were pulling these children from their beds in the
middle of the night, put them on airplanes with no
just do, no proper hearings, none of that. And then

(41:30):
it was a federal judge that ordered the plane to
be turned around. But my issue with that is that
the kids were then turned around and returned to a
government facility in Texas. So what the fuck?

Speaker 2 (41:45):
You know what kills me though, Like as well, we'll
get to the real show in a minute. But yeah,
all of this whole like bureaucracy, budget cutting right, Like
we're trimming the ad in America, we're getting the money
back in Americans. All this is so expensive. Yeah, you know,

(42:06):
turn mid flight to go back to drop them off
to blah blah blah. This is costing way more money.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Absolutely, it seems like whatever you slash, you're moving this
money into this other fun.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Absolutely absolutely, and also what the fuck is the point.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
There isn't none. It's it's fear.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
Issue, enslavement's power, money to.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Strike, fear to It's the Hitler playbook. We can weaken
the economy and make sure everybody's scared so that they're
totally completely dependent upon you.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
Yep mm hmmm. But yeah, so yeah, that's that's just
a couple of bullet points of things going on this week.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Yeah, I also have this note, why do y'all niggas
while y'all niggas defend niggas when they are wrong? Why
did I wrote that earlier? For a reason?

Speaker 4 (43:08):
Oh, because we were talking about we were talking about
Troy On Teddy Russ Smith all life after lock up
and him being enabled by his sister by making that
phone call to request the presence of his child. Yeah yeah,

(43:31):
I you.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Know, boy Mom's or I know there's a rhetoric surrounding
you know, black men have it hard and YadA YadA,
which is not untrue, but that rhetoric also gets minced
in this idea that black men need to be coddled

(43:58):
and removed from responsibility and accountability because life is hard
for us and that's that's not fair to anybody else,
any other gender. It's not even fair to us black
men either, you know. You know, how are we supposed
to grow? How are we supposed to be leaders? Right?

(44:20):
And all this stuff? When you know, I'm not to
say something problematic when you have a girl doing ship
for you, you know what I mean? Like you know,
like you like like a girl, your little sister, call

(44:43):
your baby Mom's like, can let me try cole see?
Like it's hard.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
Sometimes misogyny is funny. What was what I saw?

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Girl?

Speaker 4 (45:00):
What's like the least manliest thing somebody can do? And
they responded to say, have a twin brother, be old man. Yeah,
toxic masculinity is funny sometimes.

Speaker 10 (45:20):
Yeah you got a girl a girl to do it?

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Ah, Oh my god, that is funny to me. Okay,
So I came across a you know, we talk often
about nostalgia, uh, and also like how the dying out
of certain things has contributed to the collapse of society.
I don't know. I can't remember if I told you

(45:57):
my theory about potpourri, did I?

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yes, but remind the audience.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
Part of the demise of our culture in society right
now is due to less and less people using potpourri.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Mm hmm. Every news is yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
News is they're too toxic, but potpourri. You know what
I'm saying. We got to bring those dried flowers back
and put them up under the no because it's dried flowers,
it's mulberry and ship. Nigga dried out, possibly perfumed. I
don't know. All I know is I mean, listen, look
at all the things we ate growing up. Look at it.

(46:38):
We're good. Nigga be good. So we.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Were.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Yeah, niggas is dying like flies because they got microplastics
and they fucking.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
Like that'd be in the fourteenth.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Because the nigga want to drink tah should treat.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Life inspects to see now thirty six but to the
days of your exactly, No, biblically was long. Then it
got real short when white people start being nasty. You know,
they got the Buboni plague and shit like that. Exactly,
they got real nasty. The niggas was dying by like fourteen.

(47:26):
You know what I'm saying, That was a long life.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Well then four they had full families by eight and nine.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
That's why my grandpa was an alcoholic by twelve. That's
what I'm saying, Hello, Hello, mas a full life. So
so anyway back to nostalgia, the days of yours in
the collapse of society. So this video, this black lady
made references I guess online discussions that I've not been

(47:54):
privy to, but online discussions that have been going on
around the loss of boost in the community.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Oh yeah, that's a terrible conversation.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
Yes, we do, because my aunt was one of the
most classic, most what's the word I'm looking for? Were
there success successful boosters I've ever known in my life, entrepreneurs.
She had a street team, you know what I'm saying.

(48:27):
But so that conversation.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
Story I saw this guy actually really liked how it
went down. But I'll tell you anyway, briefly, this guy
was had a brilliant burglary ring through home depot. So
this man employed several Latino people to stand like to

(48:51):
steal like ten thousand dollars worth a merch at a
time or whatever, like small things so he could fill
his own store. So this own store is filled with nothing,
his own hardware, so it is filled with nothing, but
still in the merchandise.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
Is that the one on the bron Now it's here,
oh there, because there's one in the Bronx where you know,
it's a bunch of quote unquote lost packages and you
go and it's a grab bag. You don't know what
you're gonna get with the packages? A dollar four dollars. Yeah, yeah, he.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Had Latino's stealing for him for his store.

Speaker 4 (49:28):
M yeah, a whole ring set.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Selling these, yeah, selling low key off the truck. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
So uh so, yes, boosting a lost art. But that
wasn't the conversation. So then she, you know, she was
talking about that, and she's like, yes, what we also
have to add to the list as a lost art
that we need to bring back are useful crackheads because
m M crackheads were the original task rabbits.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
What kind of shape is your life?

Speaker 11 (50:01):
And well, I've been a little bit more fortunate than
most that I have a roof over my head. Some
people who are at the crack usually pay their rent
months in advance so they don't get evicted.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
The smart ones because I believe.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Me, brother, where they ah, you know, did things for
you to get, you know, the drugs that they needed
for their systems. You know what I'm saying, so niggas
will clean your your your stoop or remember remember that
one that one addiction exactly after my wedding exactly, And

(50:42):
that's the same nigga who came back and did a
couple of things for me and Tristan too. Remember that
time a couple of years ago, I told you all
that I went to Cleveland to go clean out my
grandmother's apartment and then later move her. That was all
at the hands of a person who you know, has
fallen victim to addiction and wanted to fund set addiction.

(51:04):
And I remember getting into it with some family because
they were like, don't pay him board and I was like, Ah,
it's not my job to dictate what this nigga does
with his money. Like this nigga is working, do you
hear me? He is working. But the drug addicts nowadays
are all leaning, you know what I'm saying in the streets,
and they can't be effective in the way that they

(51:26):
once were. And then she brought up another valid point
about not being able to differentiate the fiends from the
dope boys now right, because once upon a time, the
dope boys were a crispy bunch. You know, their clothes
while we their sneaker. I always had the freshest sneakers,
Like you could all wait the Franklin Saint, you know

(51:48):
what I mean? And now you know they using the
finity two niggas draws are dirty. Everybody's dust as dusty
as as the next nigga, and everybody's leaning and nobody's
being effective. Bring back useful crackets. Yeah, I need to
find that lady's page so I can give her reference.

(52:11):
But I said, this is a fabulous conversation.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Yeah, that's like that game I used to play, like
are you homeless? Or do you little Williamsburg? Like you
can't differentiate what's what anymore? You know? Is that your warmth?
Or is it for a static? You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (52:33):
Yep, exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Let's take a break and get to the real show.
Hate it, Claude.

Speaker 9 (52:45):
After these messages will be right back.

Speaker 12 (52:51):
So just when you think you've heard everything about how
to lose weight, something new to look their best for
the walk down the aisle. More and more brides to
be are trying something you usually seeing hospitals up to
ten days tied to a feeding tube. Just like that,
it was young g said down with one satisfied customer
to learn more.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
About it, and we're black h today. Well you got
a super sized episode again.

Speaker 4 (53:21):
Not three hours.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
No no, no, no no, but we're gonna go through
some bread as stories. These are they're Jada XD coded,
so enjoy right. I was a picky eater at friends Giving.

(53:44):
Hi A I, twenty six year old female, joined a
group of friends I met in grad school. We range
we range from twenty three to thirty and it's a
mix of men and women. I was bullied out of
my old friend group, so I started hanging out with
this one back in February. They've all been friends longer

(54:05):
than me, so I'm kind of new. So I'm kind
of the new audition. For the last couple of years,
they've done Friendsgiving, usually a week or two before Thanksgiving.
Everyone brings a dish or drink to someone's house. This year,
a girl named Lisa offered to host, and she and
her fiance just moved into a big condo. We were

(54:25):
each aside to bring something, but it didn't have to
be Thanksgiving themed. Any food was fine, which kind of
defeats the purpose, but whatever. I'm not the hostess now.
I've always been a picky eater. I don't have allergies
or anything, but I know what I like and I'm
not interested in trying new foods that might offend some people,

(54:47):
but that's just who I am. We had a Google
doc for who was bringing what, and I quickly realized
I wouldn't be able to eat anything except bread, rolls,
and apple pie, and I was bringing the pie. Most
of the group comes from diverse backgrounds, so there was
a lot of food I wasn't familiar with. Racist For example, Lisa,

(55:10):
who's Chinese, was making Chinese barbecue, pork and a whole
steamed fish. Another person's family is Lebonese, so they were
bringing hummus, parsley salad. And I googled the foods I
didn't recognize and none of them sounded appetizing to me.
So I text Lisa and I asked if she could

(55:32):
provide something I would eat so I wouldn't starve. She
asked what I had in mind, so I gave her
some options pizza, burgers, spaghetti with meat, sauce, et cetera.
She said she would. At friends giving, everyone started serving
themselves and Lisa brought out a pizza for me. I
asked where. I asked where my other options were, and

(55:55):
she said there weren't any. She made me a pizza
because that's what I said that I liked. I felt
this was unfair because everyone else had a variety of dishes,
but I was just forced to eat one thing. We argued.
I told her that when I gave her a list
of options, I expected her to have a few different
ones for me, like a good hostess would. She said no,

(56:20):
that she wasn't going to make a bunch of food
just for one person.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
No one stood up for me. A couple of people
even sided with Lisa, saying I was acting spoiled. I
ended up in tears and left early without the tiny thing.
Lisa wouldn't even give me back the pie I brought,
which I thought was unnecessarily me. That was a couple
of weeks ago. Since then, everyone has been ignoring me. Granted,

(56:47):
it's the end of the semester, so we're all busy.
I'm starting to think that maybe Lisa and I miscommunicated,
but I also feel like I'm being bullied for my
food preferences. I'm anxious and upset and can't focus on finals.
Reddit am I the asshole.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
Aps fucking lutely, and I see why you were bullied
out of your first friend group, and now I can't
wait for you to be bullied out of this one
like or that's what's happening right now.

Speaker 13 (57:15):
You know how hard to escape kids to eat their greens?
Oh yes, well, get ready to be one woman who's
never grown out of it. She's eating only three things
her whole life, not a single fruit or green vegetable
on the list. Maybe seees Lindsay Davis has her unusual story.

Speaker 4 (57:29):
If you are that type of person, then bring your
own fucking food b yos R. No, don't do that
because it's pushed genocide. But also go get your own
fucking pizza, buffalo wings and whatever else accoutrement that you
want to nibble on. But you don't leave that to
the responsibility. Like the person who's hosting is literally hosting

(57:49):
with their space, especially if you all are doing a
friend's giving, which means everybody's brains.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
I've ever heard of anybody like having the host prepare
like a whole spread. Yes, they may prepare a dish
because it's a pot luck.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
I remember when I lived in Oklahoma for those five
and a half months and one of my friends had
a friends giving, so I go, you know, bring my
shit or whatever. There was some vegans there and they
had themselves a vegan turducan. Now don't ask me to
explain that to you, because I can't, but it was
a vegan turducan. So I said, this is three times anyway,
So right, like.

Speaker 14 (58:27):
Three times the bullshit, because why a turn ducan is
called a turn ducan for a goddamn reason. It is
a part of a turkey, a duck, and a chicken.
What the fuck is a vegan anyway? What the fuck
is a vegan for turn duck?

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Have you seen that they sell vegan bones?

Speaker 4 (58:48):
I have, and we're going to skate past that.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
And it's like's like when they wrapped it, it's like
they're wrapping the shit with gauze. It's like, what the fuck?

Speaker 4 (58:58):
Like I found a whole website that sells the vegan bones.
You can get it like a vegan t bone. It's
all anyway. I said that we were getting past that,
So so they they brought their vegan turduccin while I
was you know, bewildered and also and just like fascinated.

(59:22):
I kept that to myself, right, I just kind of
watched from a distance, but I appreciated the fact that
if they wanted some stupid fucking food, they brought that
food themselves.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (59:32):
You don't put that on somebody else, especially the person
who's making the whole steamed fish and the Chinese roasted pork.
Do you know how many steps that takes? You think
they have time to worry about you and your basic ballad.
I'm not even mad that your palette is basic. I'm
mad at your entitledment. So yeah, you'd a big fucking asshole,
and you're always going to be lonely as long as

(59:54):
you maintain this nasty attitude.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
So there's an update. Oh edit, I'm the asshole. I
sent Lisa a text asking to talk, and she has
a respondent. I also texted another girl in the group
who said they were having a post finals New Year's
party and I'm not invited. So there's that update number two.

(01:00:21):
Lisa text me back saying she was sorry about the pie,
but she's not sorry for the friendsgiving as a whole.
I asked her about the New Year's Eve party and
she said her and the group think it would be
best if I didn't come because of how I acted.
I can't say I blame them, but I'm heartbroken. Update
number three, Oh my god, please stop messaging me calling

(01:00:43):
me fat ass autistic to learn a lesson?

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
You are correct, And also it's not fair to attribute
autism to her being an asshole like that's not yah, No,
she's just an entitled exactly it entitled a titled period bad.
But no, they don't attribute that to them. But also, yeah, girl,
I don't think you've really learned your lesson, like, because

(01:01:09):
why would you Why would you react like that in
the first place?

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
You ready for some more? All right?

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
I don't know why I continue to trust you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Yeah, I don't know why either. Can you ask someone
to lose weight for your wedding? Yo?

Speaker 11 (01:01:33):
Yo?

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
My friend, thirty three year old female is a personal
trainer and just got engaged to another personal trainer. All
their friends are people they know through the gym they
both work at. Now. I've known her since we were five.
I'm not a personal trainer. I'm a US size ten,
so I'm not obese, but I'm definitely on the bigger side.

(01:01:59):
I'm very comfortable with who I am and my doctor
is too SISTI is nobody says at all. Well, tonight
she called me with the best quote unquote news. Her
fiance and she have put together a workout and meal
plan for me. They figured if I dropped twenty to

(01:02:20):
thirty pounds, the wedding photos will look more symmetric.

Speaker 4 (01:02:25):
Oh, she was happy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
She was so happy and excited, like she was doing
me a favor. I wasn't sure what to say, so
I just hung up and haven't responded. I'm completely flabbergasted.
This isn't one of those situations where I constantly complain
about my weight and then get mad when someone offers
to help. I've never asked for help. I've never mentioned
wanting to lose weight. They just took it upon themselves

(01:02:48):
to help me. Obviously, I'm going to decline being her
maid of honor, but now I'm not even sure I
want to go to the wedding at all. Why would
anyone think this is okay? Honestly, don't know how to
bring this up to her. I feel like it's more
her fiance than her, but still I think, mm hmm.

(01:03:14):
You know this could be her, man. It also could
be your friend who has secretly thought this about you.

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
I don't give a will change. I don't give a
fuck who it is. It's inappropriate, Yeah, it's very inappropriate.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
I think this is who your This is who your
friend is now she wants to marry a Jim Jim
Nicker and who says out of pocket things, and who
has convinced her to believe otherwise.

Speaker 4 (01:03:44):
You know how I feel like real people, you know
I am.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
It sounds to me like your friend that outgrew you,
and you've out grown your friend. I'm going to say
some Welsh to you like.

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
That, Yeah, your friend is a bitch. And also show
up to the wedding be the maid of honor. And
what you're gonna do is you're gonna get yourself. Stop
it stop what the fuck is wrong with you? Go
go go, go go anyway, show up to her wedding

(01:04:22):
and what was that girl's name? And uh, what was
her name? In Willie Wonka, the girl who turned into
a blueberry Violet Beaureguard, show up in a violet Beaureguard
blueberry suit. Like fully commit to the bit, pay yourself blue,

(01:04:44):
get a blue wig everything, and become Violet Bolgarden. Walk
down the fucking Aisle as Violet fucking baul of Garden
just for that a blueberry. Because I'm not gonna be embarrassed.
You gonna be embarrassed because the fact that you're concerned
about twenty of my pounds, any of my pounds, zero

(01:05:06):
of my pounds. Right, that's what you do.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be back with
more and Jada next d hated Claude.

Speaker 9 (01:05:19):
After these messages will be right back.

Speaker 15 (01:05:27):
It's often wonder if their kid's imaginary friend is normal
childhood behavior or a symptom of something else. Doctor Lewis
first is here to explain. And this morning's first with kids.

Speaker 16 (01:05:46):
And we're back. I only have two more. Okay, one
is very long.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Okay, am I overreacting after I found out my boyfriend's
online friend group has just been him this whole time.
Now I do want to Oh, there's a visual component
to this, so I'm gonna have to share the screen

(01:06:14):
to show it to you on Okay, I guess I
should have been less oblivious. But since a little before
we started dating in twenty twenty two, my boyfriend then
just a friend added me to a three person Instagram
group chat with what he said were his closest online friends.

(01:06:37):
The two other accounts looked real. They had followers, comments,
and very different aesthetics. Eventually, we made a discourse server,
and that convinced me even more since we were often
active at the same time. We never voice chatted, but
I didn't think much of it. Over time, the group
got closer, and just last month we've even planned it

(01:07:00):
research trip to Hawaii for August. We all live on
the East Coast. We booked everything, so imagine my surprise
tonight when I was at his house. I went to
log into my Google docs on his computer and accidentally
saw follower bought websites and him logged into one of
the accounts I thought belonged to his quote unquote friend.

(01:07:23):
My stomach dropped. At first, I thought maybe he had
just their logins because they were close, But then I
noticed those accounts only had chats with me, no separate conversations,
and the real kicker the account was registered under his
backup email with his full name. Oh he's an idiot,

(01:07:43):
I snooped. I know it was wrong until he came
out of the shower and caught me. I was basically
certain at that point that both friends were actually him.
He went bright red, panicked, and yelled at me to
stay out of his business. I couldn't even find the words.
I just walked out, stopping. It's very early in the morning,

(01:08:05):
and I might not be thinking straight, But am I overreacting?
So apparently this guy, this guy is catfish his girlfriend
but with friends?

Speaker 11 (01:08:20):
What weird?

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Is so like you have friends? That's so strange. That's weird,
that's very straight.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
Is there an update or reason?

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Well, I'm about to show you a visual component. Okay,
So here is If you're looking on on Patreon, you're
able to see the text message between the two. So

(01:08:53):
she op original poster asks her boyfriend, I just want
to know why when it finally came time for the whowais?
How are you going to explain that? What were you thinking?
He responds, you know something I've noticed about you. You
can never just be calm, and there always has to
be an issue. I know you were raised in a

(01:09:14):
ball environment and still have to relearn a lot about
healthy relationship dynamics, but it's only like you thrive on
chaos only. And we were gonna and we were gonna
see wicked tonight. I guess there that goes.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
First of all, what wait, holds.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
On, You're not gonna you can't be serious. I deserve answers,
and I'm honestly so creeped out. Basically half of my
life for the past two years have been a complete
and total lie, and you were behind all of it.
He responds, Okay, don't be dramatic. You know this isn't

(01:09:52):
a big deal. You're just giddy to harp on this
and make a bigger issue.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
Yeah, get in front of some people. Yeah he's he's harmful. Yeah,
it runs exact like he is a he's a harmful alligator.

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
Yeah, that's nuts. It's always catfishers always turn that switch
on where like it's not that deep or they turn
out to be the victim.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Or what's the psychological issue? Because I don't want to
behind cat fishing. You see what I'm saying. Oh, like
you'll have to be sociopath or.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
That is sociopathic behavior.

Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
A modality of it, right, or like some form of
it because for you or narcisism, true narcisism.

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
Especially when they're belligerent in that way.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Yeah, and have no it's so easy, like off the
tongue if that makes sense, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
Hypothetical, what is the psychology behind cat fishing? Not you Ai,
But you.

Speaker 8 (01:11:11):
Do have to also understand that a lot of times
when a man lies to you, it's about his issues.
It's about what he has not addressed within himself. That maturity,
that that confidence in being vulnerable and open, that willingness
to stand in truth despite even if it doesn't get
you what you want. That integrity that he has to
build within himself.

Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
Mm hmmmm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
It might be psychopaths, saydism, narcissism, all under the umbrella machavelianism. Okay,
hold on, we have to get into that later.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
We have one more, allright, and she's a long one,
but buckle up, all right? Am I the asshole for
asking my friends what flavor their wedding cake is? I,
twenty two year old female, am in the wedding party

(01:12:21):
for my friends M twenty five year old female, and Row,
twenty five year old male, who are getting married in
two months. I have been really excited. It'll be the
first time our college group has reunited in two years.
M and Row are my best friends, or at least
I thought they were. We have a discord server for

(01:12:43):
wedding stuff, including a channel about food. They've been really
open about dietary options, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and answering questions,
so I didn't think it would be a big deal
if I asked something. About four days ago, I posted, Hey,
what is the cake going to be? I want to
mentally prepare myself loo. Looking back, maybe my freezing was off,

(01:13:06):
but I meant it because I really disliked chocolate flavored desserts.
I got a private message saying the cake would be
chocolate and if I had a problem with that, I
could shove it because it was their wedding, not mine.
I was shocked. I never said i'd be upset, and
I certainly wasn't planning to make a scene about it.
I tried to apologize and explain, but EM got defensive

(01:13:29):
and accused me of implying she was offended. Two days later,
I tried to get into smooth things over, but she
told me to stop apologies and quit making it seem
like something was wrong. I reached out to Row, but
he seemed but he said he couldn't talk right now,
probably be because M told him not to now It's
been a couple more days, and I'm confused. This whole

(01:13:51):
situation makes me want to drop out of the wedding
party or not even go. I keep wondering if maybe
I just don't understand how stressful planning a wedding is,
or if asking about the cake with some huge faux palm,
Am I the asshole?

Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
No, your fuck your friend is a fucking asshole. Get
a hold of yourself, Rizilla, Like, what's the problem there?
Many times me and my friends, Oh, what's there gonna
be there? What's gonna be there to eat? Or what
flavor did you get? Oh? I love that? Like what's
There's nothing wrong with you asking that question and the
fact that you got to walk on eggshells around your friend.

(01:14:27):
You should bring your own cake to the wedding and
see how mad she gets to be. Like, see, bitch,
this is egregious. What I asked you was not. Now
you maybe take it there.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
I also think I don't know, maybe this is just
gen z young millennial thing, But there's a lot of
grace here for having a discoord server where people could
ask and have a whole fucking faq about the food
or whatever. The fuck is happening. Yeah, back in my day,
you got an invitation, you show up or your don't.

Speaker 17 (01:14:55):
You picked, and you picked the and if they're good,
you pick the chicken fish or the exactly like you
get those little mashed potatoes that look like an ice
cream cone and some green beans that are unsalted with
some almonds in them, and you shut the fuck up,
or you get some rice pealoth like there's you don't there's.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
No room for a little pearls of butter exactly. Hello, okay,
an unsweetened iced tea of water and it might be
a red and white situation.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
Yeah, it's really not that big of a deal. Really,
I don't know why people are giving so many people
have an input because damned.

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
There's that, but also me asking you the flavor of
the fucking cake.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
It's not that deep though.

Speaker 4 (01:15:39):
It's not deep at all, bitch, it's not even like
it's not even a puddle like nigga.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
It's she is like, you know, hey, what colored? You
know what flavor is the cake? You know? You know,
I'm just curious, And she's like, no, fu you nigger,
like did you cover her? Like?

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
But I prefer that you not have this at your
at your wedding because I don't like it or no,
you just ask what a flavor? Your friend is.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
Asking this general question like somebody on the shoe would
ask you. You're not gonna tell them like fuck you,
your mom's a whore, Like that's so crazy to me.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
However, we have an update. Okay, now this is a
different type of update. I've never seen this before. Okay,
so remember there's three people, the husband, there's m who
was sorry for Emily who. There's Row, who's the dude,

(01:16:32):
Roe responded the groom. Hey, Izzy, not surprised you didn't
share the whole story. You never do. Oh, just like
last year's surprise party for M T L d R,
which means too long, didn't read at he spoiled the
surprise and trying me and tried to claim my gift

(01:16:53):
was hers. I'm a Row, the groom to be. I
don't use Reddit, but my best man does and showed
me this post. It was obvious it's you. The cake
thing did happen, but not the way you described. See.
This is how I know, because you know, men are
very sassy. This is not to beat the racking and

(01:17:18):
neck shakers you think of a white man.

Speaker 4 (01:17:22):
Named and another thing? Okay, what is.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
First? First, cake wasn't your only complaint, and I figured
that too. You refused a joint bachelor bachelorette dinner because
I have poor taste. You said my suit was tacky
because I wanted white instead of black. You whind about
the bridesmaid's dresses being purple because you wanted ivory. Every

(01:17:52):
decision we've made, you complained. M has been nothing but patient.
She shouldn't have to change her wedding for a year.
Oh see again my point? Exactly why do I got
to change my wedding and shit to accommodate these other
episodes day about you?

Speaker 4 (01:18:11):
No, I understand, and a white suit is tachy, but
that's not your business.

Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
Girls exactly, let be tacky the love girl. So second,
we never told you to shove it em only messaged
you privately because she was tired of constant arguments in
the group chat. Everyone else is tired too. We didn't
We didn't want to drag them into it. It's a cake,

(01:18:35):
eat it or don't.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
Okay, So that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
Then you've oh wait, you've hated me since I joined
the group, and that's fine, but you will not ruin
M's day because of your pettiness. Of course, EM is different,
she grew up. We all did accept you. You're twenty two.
Stop acting like a spoiled teenager. The cake won't kill you.

(01:19:01):
And FYI, I am twenty six, not twenty five. I
wasn't even angry until you came here for pity. That's
pathetic and immature. For the record, m double check my response.
She signed off on it.

Speaker 4 (01:19:13):
Get it together, Iver said everything I said.

Speaker 9 (01:19:20):
What wait, dish moo hey, go on to your shape
baby cause test watch.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
A sclamor Izzy response.

Speaker 6 (01:19:29):
Oh wait, not a back and forth for the reddit okay,
op Buzzy says, So it's pathetic and immature for me
to post anonymously asking for advice, But you jumping on
Reddit and dropping my real name isn't okay, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Since we're not talking anymore, How did it feel to
have wisdom in publicly?

Speaker 4 (01:20:05):
What is this amazing?

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
Here's how I know EM didn't sign off. She never
would have agreed to you using my real name. You're
just trying to get me angry at her. She's my
best friend. I should have known you do this. You're
always trying to drive awayge between us. Example, I planned
a dinner for her birthday, but you scheduled the surprise
party the same day. I wanted one night of alone

(01:20:29):
time with my best friend, but you couldn't wait. I've
known em far longer than you. No offense, but I
know her better than you do. I've kept quiet because
I love her and want her to be happy. You
say I complain about everything, but I've never seen but
I've never said anything about all the times you've made
em cancel our plans to hang out with you girl.

(01:20:51):
She was trying to get some dick girl like you
have to. Anyway, we can't have sleepovers anymore because it
makes you uncomfortable, or take a girl's because it's too expensive.
There was never This was never about the cake. It's
about you hating me. I was fine when you joined
the group. You weren't fine with me being in M's life.
Ask her other friends. They'll agree. Get a life, Marcus,

(01:21:14):
stop trying to ruin mine.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
Well, now I'm confused because this could be multiple things here.
First of all, the major plot twist, one of the
major plot twists, was this was the friend group from
the last Reddit story.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
Yeah, that would be that would amazing, that.

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
Would be the that would be the one. But either
this man is controlling and came in her life and
like I don't know, trying to isolate her, especially if
she said other friends, I don't know this man is
one of them. Is the problem. I don't know who's

(01:22:12):
jealous of who.

Speaker 6 (01:22:14):
This?

Speaker 4 (01:22:14):
Yeah, and I'm feeling like it might be him going
back and forth with her, because if you like, if
all of a sudden she stopped girls' trips and she
stopped this and that, there's like, yes, I'm trying to
get some dick. There's balance, and then there's like, no,
I don't want her to do any of the things
she did before. Then that would be a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Well there's more. Wait, okay, because Marcus responded, Okay, she
was fine with me using your name. You brought this
to Reddit, not us. Also, the plan for her birthday
was for you to distract her with a movie while
we set up the party. Instead, you went to dinner,
told her about the party, and left us waiting for hours.

(01:22:56):
Oh I've never made an cancel plan. She did that
on her own and not that often, which lets me
know this was a dick appointment. You've had plenty of
time alone with her. Just because she spends time with
me too, doesn't mean I'm forcing her. Yes, a trip
to multiple countries in Europe is too expensive. We live

(01:23:18):
paycheck to paycheck, which you know not all of us have,
are rent covered by our parents. Nobody else feels the
way you do about me. If I'm wrong, I'll listen
and change. That requires you to actually talk to me
and not run to Reddit. You may have known him longer,
but you clearly don't know her well. You don't see
how miserable your comments have made her these past few months,

(01:23:40):
or her saying knock it off. And lastly, as he responded,
paid by Daddy, real mature. I work hard like everyone else.
It's not my fault. My parents made better decisions and
can help their kids. And of course I wasn't just

(01:24:01):
going to take her to a movie for her birthday.
Rules are not It was still her birthday. She deserved
a real meal, not the cheap piece that you bought. Also,
maybe you didn't tell her to cancel plans, but asking
her to hang out when you knew we had already
had something planned. It's basically the same thing before you.
She was fine, she had everything she needed and for

(01:24:21):
everyone in the commons saying I have a crush on em. No,
we're best friends. I love her, she loves me. We
have natural chemistry. But that's not but it's not romantic. Marcus,
you've been an asshole from day one. Just admit you're
not the guy who can give her what she needs
to move on and leave us alone. She might be
a problem, she's a problem.

Speaker 4 (01:24:42):
They both.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
Everybody's an asshole. Em needed to come here and clear
everybody talking about I'm breaking up with both of you. Yeah,
because you have y'all embarrassing yourselves on the fucking internet
over my at my expense. Then you have niggas like
Jada xt talking about it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:25:01):
Now I need to know more, Like put them on
an episode of Four Weddings, bring it back.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
I need.

Speaker 4 (01:25:09):
To see the dynamic of and Izzy, and then I
need to see the introduction of market Sega a row like. Yeah,
I'm telling you, I'm just choosing to believe that this
is all the last couple and this nigga's playing two people. Okay,
why not. It just makes it more fun. Now they

(01:25:32):
need to turn. Now, they need to turn. Is that
a series already? No, I've never seen anything like that
where they catfish somebody in friendship like a spouse or
significant other. Catfish is somebody with friendship. They need to
turn that into.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
That's what happened to us with me and PCE. How
with gaysha goes here?

Speaker 4 (01:25:58):
No, maybe you did, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:02):
We got Yeah, there's a friend group that you know,
me and some other folks and there was this guy.
It's an old Twitter story and gay shit goes here.
He was a catfisher who infiltrated my little friend group
to the point where, like you know, him and a
Sante were talked like every day. Gordy I hit like.

(01:26:24):
I went to Philadelphia to meet him because we're like, oh,
well we're going to hang out and stuff, and you know,
it was the early days of when you're meeting people
on the Internet and stuff. And I hung out with
my homegirl Leonora. We went to the strip club and
oh go I forget his name, but the guy was like, oh,

(01:26:46):
I'm coming, I'm coming. Never came to the strip club.
I still had a wang dang doodle with me and
as Soadre and my friend Leonora and somebody else. Then
he was like, well, what are you about to go?
Do next? Go to another club? He never shows up.
He's like, I'm out sign him in line. Never shows up.
So I'm on my way home on the bolt bus

(01:27:07):
and I call it Sante and I'm like he. Sante
was like, hey, how to go meeting with I forget
the man. I was like, well, it didn't happen. So
I'm telling him the story and I was like, a Santa,
I have a qu I was like, do you feel
as if we're being catfished? Because I feel it's like
that way. He was like, don't you dare say that
out loud? I was like I did. So. Then we
had a whole council.

Speaker 4 (01:27:31):
So then and this group makes this even funnier in
my head.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
Right, So like we call Crystal or Crystal and we
were like what do we do? Right? And she was like, nigga, no,
I don't know was this before? This is before Crystal
because she was like at first, she was like this
is kind of sad and weird. She was yeah, she

(01:28:03):
was like, oh I get it, but all of us
like Duves and Princey shake it up about it because
we have shared intimate you know, conversations and things like that.
But and then my whole thing was like did you
show up to these places while I wasn't Philly and
I had no idea what you truly looked like?

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
So did you all ever figure out who it was?

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
Yeah? He came clean. Like that day after I prisoned
to Sante with the evidence, we all came together on Skype,
all of us in the friend group. I got a
conversation and we invited him to come on and to
defend himself, and he was like okay, and we were
like just take a picture and you know the date thing.

(01:28:45):
He was like, okay, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna
do it. I'm gonna do it. And then there was
always a problem. There was always a problem. And then
there was an issue that he like disconnected and then
he ended up texting Crystal and explained like who they
were and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:29:07):
So who were they?

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
They were cosplaying as some light skinned, ginger headed black
men and they were the complete opposite. They were a tall,
overweight chocolate man who was.

Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
He was platonically catfishing.

Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
We weren't interested in him. We were just he was
the homide, right, That's.

Speaker 4 (01:29:35):
What I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
We all said, and we were all like, you could
have been yourself. Like we none of us judge people
about how they look or whatever it was. If you're
a weirdo, now we're judging because you're a weirdo for
being that way. We've always said, you don't got a
lot of kicking.

Speaker 4 (01:29:51):
Oh no, I wonder whatever happened to them.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
Oh no, this was like in twenty ten, that's in
years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
That's insane. Well, half the day you deserve a person.
Maybe you were really sad at the time. I don't
you know what, Let me not because there could have
been some you know, deep insecurities, you know, so let
me reel it back and be human.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Yeah, And he told me later, like he had a
conversation with me and he was like, you know, he
that I don't want to say standard, but uh, a
story you hear not to they hear commonly is you know,
like insecurities, digital bullying and stuff like that. I hear you.

Speaker 4 (01:30:39):
But also and this is still weird as fuck and
you weird as fuck for doing it. It just it
just is no matter what the foundation of the reasoning,
Like I can be understanding and cell say, you did
some creepy ship minigue, like that's just you know, the
longer and the short of it. I now here's my
other question to the last Reddit story before we leave.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 4 (01:31:04):
How much you have to be on fucking Reddit to
come across a story of someone that you know you
have to live on that bitch?

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
Yeah? Like, I know, like people subscribe to like certain
threads like am I the Asshole? So clearly they're not
going to go oh.

Speaker 4 (01:31:24):
Okay, okay, all right, I forgot about categories.

Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
You're right, yeah, and then there and then there are
people who like us who curate things and talk about
them and post it and find shit like that. Okay,
all right. I do think there are people who do
be on.

Speaker 4 (01:31:39):
There quite a lot, Okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
And probably is they probably shared it with like iras
and you think and somebody's her m.

Speaker 4 (01:31:51):
They said the best man founded. But I don't know
because because at first glance, that story is not even
fascinating enough to.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
Mm hmm, thank you said, hold on, wait a minute, hold.

Speaker 4 (01:32:05):
Hold my sea zero. I got something to say.

Speaker 2 (01:32:15):
Cut water.

Speaker 4 (01:32:18):
Well, niggers. Yeah, we're out of here. Make sure you
subscribe to the Patreon for all the visuals of this podcast,

the fall of society, that's the best way to do so.

causes we've spoken about are attached to the description box,

Life after lock Up, weekly reviews, you know, group watches
of things. XD has been personally attacking me for the
past eleven almost twelve years. He continues to do so.

problem for continuing to allow him to do this, but
he continues to do so. So you can see how
