1:20

It is smack

1:22

dab in the middle of the day here

1:24

for me. In

1:27

a bit of an

1:29

overcast California. Welcome,

1:32

folks, to the program. I'm

1:34

Cree Summer. And I'm Hazel

1:36

Monet. And this is the read. Thanks for coming

1:39

back. Two icons.

1:42

For real. Cree Summer. Does

1:45

she ever stop working? I feel like...

1:48

No. I think she's the showrunner of that

1:50

good times show. Oh, is she? Oh, okay.

1:53

Well... She

1:56

will probably voice act

1:59

until... she doesn't want to. Right,

2:01

right. Just iconic in that way, yeah. Um,

2:07

hey guys, well, we're

2:10

back. It's mid-May.

2:14

How are we feeling, folks? Well,

2:16

I turned in my last

2:18

assignment. I

2:21

know, and I was so stressed because

2:23

I was like, I am literally, I

2:26

don't have the energy to put forth in

2:28

this paper like I normally do for

2:31

these big-ass papers. And so

2:33

I literally just got it to a place where I was

2:35

like, this is good enough. Like, I probably won't fail

2:37

the class. Like the last rep of

2:41

your final class. You was like, girl,

2:43

look here, damn. Like,

2:45

fine, Gina, I will marry you. You

2:47

know, like 12 reps. You get the

2:49

10. For some reason, like, 12 is

2:53

the one where it's like, girl,

2:55

why? But it's also the

2:58

last one. It's like, girl, what's going

3:00

on? Yeah, so I

3:02

was big stressed, but two days later, the

3:04

professor had graded it, and I only got

3:06

five points off from like the

3:09

score I got on the first paper. So

3:11

I was like, yeah, she over it too.

3:13

She don't give a damn. She's just like,

3:15

here, fine. I feel like

3:17

she was just being nice because I don't think I deserved

3:20

an A on that paper, but. Oh, you're

3:22

not like me in that regard. Where you just don't

3:24

give yourself grace. I guarantee your teacher is like, girl,

3:26

if you just want to substitute for me, then you

3:28

can go ahead and do that. Because

3:31

these fucking core hosts, God bless

3:34

them. I did. One of my advisors

3:36

said, I have a feeling I'm gonna be working for you one

3:38

day. I was like, so

3:45

yeah, I'm still seeing clients. I have

3:47

another week. I'll be seeing clients all

3:49

next week. And then starting

3:52

Memorial Day, I will be free.

3:54

Child, it's a crazy thought. I'm in

3:56

the like this weird Twilight

3:59

zone area. right now, but the hard

4:01

part is for sure over. So I'm

4:03

trying to focus on that. What

4:05

about you? How's your wellness? Do

4:08

you like this new recording later

4:10

in the day situation better than

4:12

crackadon? I

4:14

mean, it's just

4:17

an hour. Oh,

4:19

right. This isn't as late as we planned to

4:21

start. But still, is

4:23

it better? I'm sorry. I'm

4:26

sorry. Because normally you'd

4:28

be like, I woke up 20 seconds ago. No,

4:32

when we head to the time

4:34

that we talked about, I

4:36

have a good feeling about that. But

4:41

ultimately, I'm, whatever,

4:43

I am trying

4:45

to dance around the word disassociating. Okay, that's

4:48

what it is. Because that feels like a

4:50

strong word, but it also feels like a

4:52

correct one. And

4:55

I will let you girls and

4:57

Google do the rest from there.

4:59

Ultimately, though, I'm trying to find

5:03

the path to, I'm gonna

5:06

say happy, but I feel like just

5:08

even like calm or peace

5:10

would be nice.

5:14

But been worse. So we'll

5:16

complain. Let's

5:18

get into Black Excellence. All right.

5:21

This week. Let's do it. I'm

5:25

going to give it to one Candice

5:28

Parker. I

5:31

thought you meant your Candice at first. I

5:33

was like, ah, get invited. Same.

5:38

So newly

5:42

retired or a retirement

5:44

announcement from

5:46

Candice Parker as its associate

5:48

with the WNBA. And she

5:51

announced that she's

5:55

accepted the role as presenter

5:57

of Adidas Women's Basketball. firm

6:00

platform. I don't

6:03

know what you call that. But

6:06

Adidas says Parker will collaborate with the

6:08

brand to create a powerful platform aimed

6:10

at influencing and elevating the future of

6:12

women's sports which seems to be

6:14

up right now. I mean at least it

6:17

absolutely is. And

6:19

this Parker was also the first woman to

6:22

have a signature shoe with Adidas. So

6:24

wow good for her. That's

6:26

crazy. Yeah. Shout out to

6:29

Caitlin Clark. That's what Don Staley said. But

6:31

yes, excellent news for Candice. What

6:33

a legend. Aye Wilson got a

6:36

Nike shoe too. Oh yeah, she's

6:38

been signed. So I guess

6:40

now they just let us know it's coming

6:42

out. But yeah, like the signature. Well

6:45

overdue. Aye Wilson is another

6:47

absolute success. Let's see her

6:50

look at the market next

6:52

year. Okay, well good. I'm

6:55

sure it will come out. She's

6:57

extremely, extremely popular. So good

6:59

for her. Alright

7:02

girls, let's get into our pop culture

7:04

thing. Do I sound tired?

7:06

I ran

7:09

this morning. You did.

7:11

And then that was kind

7:14

of it. So I

7:16

mean besides like reading through notes and shit.

7:19

Well are you tired? I know exercise can sometimes

7:21

leave you feeling a little fatigued as

7:24

opposed to anything. I'm like my brain is

7:26

tired. Okay. But my brain has been tired

7:28

for about 12 days. So

7:31

it isn't any one specific thing. But we're

7:34

gonna make it work. Yeah, so we can

7:36

do it. Pop culture segment

7:39

that we call hot tops. First

7:43

and foremost, where

7:45

do I want to be in? Okay. Because

7:48

we're just talking about shoes and there's a

7:51

really easy segue there. Okay. Fine.

7:54

Mary J. Blythe. Oh

8:01

boy. I have

8:04

such a space with Dustin to discuss how we're

8:06

feeling about this. But

8:09

it has been announced

8:11

and revealed that Mary

8:15

J. Blige, queen of hip

8:17

hop soul and empress

8:20

of the over knee booth. Absolutely.

8:23

Absolutely. She has

8:26

a brand new signature Mary J.

8:31

Blige boot. It

8:41

is literally called the Mary

8:43

boot. And

8:46

it is a

8:48

collaboration with Giuseppe

8:50

Zanotti. The

8:54

boot itself, I mean

8:56

it's already sold out. Yeah, you can't get it. I

9:00

mean, I'm sure you can jump on what you want

9:02

to call it. What the fuck is that shit called?

9:05

StockX. Yeah,

9:07

or like, it's kind of

9:09

grailed, I think does it. I'm sure it's

9:11

going to be on those websites if it's

9:13

not already there, which sucks because that's just

9:16

not fair. Yeah,

9:18

because people buy them to

9:20

resell them when the

9:22

people who would actually love to rock

9:24

them are like left out. That sucks

9:27

a lot. I know there's just

9:29

been a part of digital commerce

9:32

for ever at this point,

9:34

but it still sucks. Anyway,

9:36

the shoe, I think

9:38

is gorgeous. It's like this, like

9:42

a rose gold collar. I'm probably wrong.

9:45

No, it looks like rose gold to me too. But

9:48

that it's just gorgeous, like

9:50

metallic color. I don't know

9:52

what it's made of. Let

9:54

me see. It looks like

9:56

a sculpture. Reflective rose gold

9:58

synthetic fabric with a left. So

10:00

I just looked it up and it is

10:02

rose gold. Yes. So oh Which

10:05

I mean makes sense. It would be crazy if it

10:07

was like a metal boot Right.

10:10

Yeah, but it looks like

10:13

it looks great Yeah,

10:15

we gorgeous. Oh we

10:18

I just know the rich aunties bought this up.

10:20

That's why I want to see in it like

10:23

lovers and friends Because

10:25

they were gonna be out there

10:27

don't think But

10:33

yeah, I think the boot is gorgeous It's

10:36

really cool that Mary, you know, we've come

10:38

a long way from what was in the

10:40

new checker app. Here we are Collaborating

10:46

and putting marketing behind something

10:48

that mattered I Yeah,

10:52

I love this for I think this is cute I know it

10:55

was like the typical Discourse

11:00

dialogue of You

11:05

know happen And

11:07

in many regards, I think that can be

11:09

fair you might be a very big Mayor

11:12

J. Blige fan who doesn't have

11:14

$1,300 for nobody's like most people

11:20

I know They

11:23

do not niggas don't even have 1300 foot of

11:25

rent so I was just going to say so

11:28

it's like Right

11:30

that's understandable but it is luxury

11:33

like it this is unfortunately,

11:36

this is what Luxury things

11:38

cost the naughty has boots that cost

11:40

way more than $1,300 way When

11:45

I heard the price of this somebody was telling me that

11:48

people were complaining with how I heard about the

11:50

price at first And

11:52

I was like that sounds like a basic Like

11:56

kind of like and they got booties

11:58

on set for $1,300. I'm looking right

12:01

now. So I'm saying that's what I'm

12:03

saying. And over the knee boot child,

12:05

they got these cowboy boots for $1,250.

12:08

They not, you not getting no.

12:11

As someone who seems like she's just

12:13

very much like, fine, I'll make a

12:16

boot. And doesn't really seem

12:18

like they want to like

12:20

do this, you know,

12:22

line of boots and

12:24

you know, be at the fashion weeks and stuff.

12:26

I think it kind of makes sense that you

12:28

might want to make your one signature boot a

12:31

luxury shoe. And yes,

12:33

there are some aunties that

12:36

absolutely will drop down a stack.

12:40

The rich ones. A stack, but as I said, they

12:42

are sold out. And

12:46

I want to see, I know I feel like

12:49

particularly Detroit,

12:52

which I also want to talk to Dustin

12:54

about. Open your mouth and save. I feel

12:56

like the

12:59

ladies in Detroit who have these boots are going

13:01

to put it together with some of the most

13:03

sickening furs you've ever seen in your life. And

13:05

them shades, what do they call them? Shades,

13:07

the bus that they,

13:09

I know exactly what you're talking about,

13:12

but I don't know what I think

13:14

they do call them the bus, but

13:16

I feel like the looks are going

13:18

to be outstanding. Yes,

13:20

always. I mean, I just feel like

13:23

the, you know, the major black

13:25

cities around the country, the rich aunties in

13:27

those areas, the ones who have these. Okay.

13:32

No, please

13:35

talk about like more of a visor. Oh no,

13:38

I'm talking about what I feel like the

13:42

Cartier. I feel like they only make these for

13:44

Detroit. I'm

13:47

not sure why Detroit, Miami in the, in the North.

13:53

Every time I go to Detroit and Chicago, I'm

13:55

just like, I'm home. Like y'all are just country

13:59

niggas. up north. That's

14:01

all that's getting us all right.

14:03

It's not, but it is. And so, um, but

14:06

I mean, you know, I, I fully understand. I

14:08

also, $1,300 for boots is not in my budget. I'm

14:14

not doing that. Um, but

14:18

Mary has never given bargain

14:20

basement dress, barn shoe

14:22

warehouse. Like, why would

14:25

you never ever given

14:27

that right? Mary is always head

14:29

to toe in something luxury and

14:31

designer always, always.

14:34

So this made complete sense to

14:36

me. I was not expecting her to come

14:38

out with a $70 boot. Uh, that was

14:41

so far apart in two months

14:43

anyway. What I am

14:45

concerned about is, you know, God bless whichever

14:50

unfortunate soul accidentally

14:52

scuff somebody's

14:55

aunties wrote gold, Mary. It's

14:58

coming. That's your ass. That's

15:00

your ass. Don't

15:02

be a wonderful. But they

15:05

are. They're pretty.

15:07

And of course they sold right out. So

15:10

they are expensive, but not too expensive for

15:13

everybody. They're clearly a market

15:15

for them. Somebody

15:17

said, fuck that rent. Rent'll

15:20

be there next month. Bitch, I'm getting

15:22

them boots. And I'm

15:24

sure that there will be a Shengyin replica of this

15:27

person. Oh yeah. For sure. So you don't have to have

15:29

1300 to put a look together.

15:36

In fact, you don't. Most of

15:38

the people who do drop the

15:40

stocks, plant for the work to

15:43

go. A lot of people think that

15:46

it being luxury is the look

15:48

and that is really not true.

15:51

I get all day. I can. But yeah,

15:54

because them knockoffs, you know, you don't get

15:57

one good picture and take your pictures first.

15:59

Cause it's don't peel off when you're at the

16:01

club. Put the flash on

16:03

you. You're supposed to be reflected. You know, you might

16:05

get it. Low

16:09

lighting. But

16:11

yeah, you know, do what works for you. Um,

16:15

okay. Real quick. Uh,

16:19

duh. Kendrick

16:22

Lamar is not like us is number one.

16:25

Thank God. I mean, not for that. Thank God he

16:28

gave me a break. I really couldn't take no more.

16:31

Oh, I'm like, we knew that.

16:34

Right. Two

16:36

whole weeks of talking about boy rap. It

16:38

was too much girl,

16:40

but girl, I mean, I,

16:43

I alone might have put

16:46

not like us at number one, cause I, it

16:48

has just been, I have one

16:51

that that songs the fuck out. It's

16:54

only just now leaving my head.

16:56

So, but yeah, of

16:58

course it is. Not mine. I was in the gym when

17:00

I was in the morning. It's

17:03

something about beat yo ass and hide the Bible of

17:05

God watching. It is my favorite part of being

17:07

part of the whole phone. I

17:11

think that says a lot about me. No,

17:14

it's mine too. Every time I

17:16

mean, pop out and show niggas.

17:19

This is all true. It's a very,

17:21

very good time. It is. That

17:24

is outside of the OVHO and the

17:26

freakiest. And the A

17:28

minor. Which is great. It's just,

17:30

it's a great, it's a great piece of music. Oh yeah.

17:34

And it is now sandwiched. There's

17:36

someone named Tommy Richmond sandwich between that

17:38

and euphoria. Oh yeah. On the billboard

17:40

right now. That I don't know who

17:42

he has a sound going viral on

17:44

Tik TOK. And you know, that's really

17:46

all you need. Oh yeah.

17:48

Okay. There you go. That explains that. But

17:51

yeah, I mean, as

17:53

expected and very well-deserved,

17:55

it's, it's, it's never gonna stop

17:57

being funny that Aubrey's angels. wanted

18:00

something that they could throw ass to.

18:03

Like, we're criticizing Kendrick

18:05

for not making a bop that they

18:07

could play in the club. Kendrick

18:09

has like four. What are we talking

18:11

about? And then release something that went

18:14

straight to number one. Like that, you

18:17

gotta be careful what you ask for. You really gotta be

18:19

careful about what you put out into the universe, cause you

18:21

just might get it. Y'all learn the

18:23

value of that. I always like that back up to

18:25

six and family matters at seven. Girl,

18:29

the world is tired. I

18:31

don't know, but like, I don't know what's going

18:33

on in the sauce, cause I'm not in a,

18:35

you know what I'm saying? I'm

18:37

nowhere near God's kitchen, but girly, they do

18:40

need to leave this house alone. Like that's,

18:42

I don't know what's going on with like

18:44

these people trying to break in

18:47

his house or shooting his house.

18:49

Like, I don't know. There hasn't

18:51

been any direct connection with, you

18:54

know, Kendrick and

18:56

that, but I wouldn't be

18:58

surprised some people are just being

19:00

extra. Yeah. And way, way,

19:03

way. Inserting themselves into it. Like it really has

19:05

anything to do with them when it do not.

19:08

And so then when your cellmate asks you what you're doing.

19:12

You said, Kendrick

19:14

said, I felt like that nigga should die. And

19:16

I picked that as a directive. Like, no, don't

19:18

do that. Don't do

19:20

that. Don't get yourself

19:22

caught up. Okay.

19:25

Well, good for music. Baby

19:28

RZA has turned two, which

19:30

feels like, when

19:33

that nigga just wanted, like I know he has

19:35

a little brother, but. Right. So who is the other one?

19:38

I thought he just turned one. RYOT. No. RYOT.

19:42

Okay. Is that his name?

19:44

RYOT. Yeah. Baby

19:47

RYOT. There he is. Oh,

19:49

they are so cute. All these kids are

19:51

so cute. Yeah. They're, they're gorgeous

19:53

kids. I did see

19:56

the picture from his birthday party though. And I thought

19:58

he was one. Oh God. I

20:00

honestly, I was gagged. I'm like, I

20:02

guess, I guess it has

20:04

been two years, hasn't it? But

20:08

yeah, they look almost exactly like

20:10

the two babies. They look way

20:13

more like Rihanna to me than,

20:17

but you know, I can see a little

20:20

bit of it in there as well. The

20:23

pictures from the birthday party look

20:25

super, super cute. There was a

20:27

clip of Rihanna holding baby RZA

20:29

light upside down and swinging

20:33

him. Oh yeah.

20:35

Happy birthday or whatever.

20:37

And like ever

20:40

since I've been, I know that this is

20:42

something that Pete like grownups do with babies

20:44

very often. And most of the time babies,

20:47

it is like, it

20:50

is like crap. Like

20:53

they adore it and it has

20:56

forever given me anxiety. Like I'm

20:58

never like, I trust

21:01

the adults because they

21:04

trust themselves and

21:06

the babies are having a good time. But

21:08

I'm, you have to understand, I don't even

21:11

think I started holding newborns or like babies

21:14

like a month old until maybe like 10

21:16

years ago. I would be the motherfucker. So

21:18

I don't want to hold

21:20

them because I don't

21:23

know what's going to happen. What if I sneeze?

21:26

What if like I have

21:28

a cramp? Just ridiculousness. Right. You

21:30

weren't a black girl. So when I saw that

21:32

video at first, you didn't have to raise babies

21:34

when you were one. You

21:37

weren't forged in the fire. Um,

21:42

yeah, no, kids love that shit. It's like six

21:44

flags for toddlers. They they,

21:47

it is just like, it has always given me

21:49

like a little tinge of, like,

21:55

yeah. Okay. But they do this all

21:57

the time. That's probably his go-to. ride.

22:01

And I

22:03

think about like, if I can dig into

22:05

my memory bank of the time where my

22:07

family did it for me and

22:09

how joyous it was to be flung into the

22:12

air. Oh, yeah. And then caught. It

22:15

is, it is an amusement park. Right.

22:20

So I thought that was cute. The family looks

22:22

cute or whatever. Apparently some pictures of her and

22:24

Jason Lee and everybody's like, Oh my

22:26

God, what is Jason Lee have

22:28

on Rihanna? Because this is so

22:31

scary. I'm

22:36

like, maybe she, I don't

22:40

know. Maybe she likes him. It's hard

22:42

to believe, but maybe she does. Well,

22:47

you remember when Rihanna put

22:49

that bag of

22:51

rice cakes on Twitter with

22:53

two hoop earrings that both

22:56

shade? Yes, I do. You're

22:58

right. I don't. Maybe

23:00

they are just your friends.

23:02

Maybe I'm thinking and we

23:05

do not know these people

23:07

exactly that. Maybe I thought

23:10

erroneously that because Rihanna had chilled out

23:12

online, she had also chilled out in

23:14

real life. But

23:16

I think maybe somebody, somebody just took

23:18

her Twitter from her. I think

23:20

somebody that she genuinely respects, really

23:23

a tase older was like, all right,

23:26

girl, you made your mark. Right. Because

23:28

Rihanna you can

23:30

chill the hose up. Any

23:33

body can get it. A

23:35

body. Good. Like, what can

23:37

that say? You speak famous, non-famous

23:41

clearing the girl. Yes, she would.

23:43

Oh yes, she would. She would

23:45

tear anybody up. So I feel

23:48

like she's just graduated group chat,

23:50

which someone of your stature who

23:52

is a billionaire or whatever is like,

23:54

yeah, it probably should for you to

23:57

just keep the keys private. Yeah,

24:00

when I see her, then together like

24:02

a couple weeks ago or a month ago

24:04

or some event or whatever, I was like, didn't

24:07

expect that, but I can see it. Jason

24:09

Lee is just so, he's professionally messy.

24:11

I just would not want to be associated

24:15

with nobody like that, but I don't

24:17

know him personally. Maybe he's the nicest

24:20

person. Maybe he's just so sweet and kind and

24:22

the kids call him Uncle

24:24

whatever, Uncle JJ and who

24:26

knows? I doubt.

24:30

Well, two is, is, yeah, Chavvie.

24:33

I mean, RZA is sitting there like he's been

24:35

sitting with this nigga all his life. Like he's

24:37

not losing like, ah, who is this? You know? So.

24:41

Honestly, when I saw the picture, I saw the

24:43

picture of them first. Oh, you

24:45

did? Like him with Jason and that because that

24:48

was what everybody was running their mouth out. So

24:50

that's how I thought that was the first thing

24:52

I saw from the party and

24:54

my initial like the

24:56

first thing I thought of was, oh my God, the

24:59

kids are so cute. Yeah,

25:01

they are. Them

25:04

little matching Rihanna for his I'll never get

25:06

over. Adorable. Two

25:09

little Rihanna boys. And

25:11

I love the name Riot. I'm sorry. I

25:13

love it. Very cute. Very

25:16

cute. Good for her. Good for her.

25:18

I know there's been a lot of speculation about

25:20

whether she's pregnant again, but you

25:23

know, it feels like a

25:25

low hanging fruit for in terms of like

25:28

creating room. Right. Yeah. You

25:31

know, it's like saying, you know, actually

25:33

is route. I'm concerned. You

25:35

know, it's easy. It's

25:38

like, Stan's will

25:40

say anything. You got to remember

25:42

that Stan's will say anything. And

25:44

there's a lot that anything is easily

25:46

monetized these days, which is terrifying. But

25:49

that's a different conversation. What

25:51

else do I have on here? So

25:54

I should have

25:57

paired this with Mary Table Eyes. No say.

26:01

Yeah, that is kind of shady, not that I think

26:04

about it. Have you seen, um, Dem

26:06

Collins? Uh-oh. So

26:12

Anita Baker was a no-show for another... You

26:15

know what? I did. I just saw

26:17

like, soul, R&D. I did see that.

26:19

Like, that was my connection. Yeah, I

26:21

get it. Oh, Anita. Anita, I don't

26:23

really know... First of all, I feel

26:26

like this lady has been touring

26:28

and doing live shows for the past 12

26:36

years. Yeah, I remember when

26:39

we went to her show Valentine's Day

26:41

at Radio City like four

26:43

or five years ago and she was like, it's the Anita

26:45

Baker farewell tour. Very

26:50

not, girl. I have not stopped

26:52

touring since then. I'm just glad,

26:54

you know, in hindsight that you

26:56

showed up because canceling

26:58

the show minutes before

27:01

it's supposed to start the weekend

27:03

of Mother's Day in Atlanta.

27:07

Yikes. That's

27:09

like, that's so many bad choices. And

27:11

we still don't, as far as I know, we don't

27:13

even know why it was canceled. Like is she sick?

27:16

Did she hurt herself? I haven't heard anything

27:18

about like why that happened. People

27:20

found out literally as they were like waiting

27:23

outside to get in or pulling up to get

27:25

to the show. It's like, the

27:27

timing of this is rough. Yeah,

27:30

I mean, if there hasn't been any

27:32

explanation or reasoning for it yet, then

27:35

I would kind of just keep

27:37

my... Like personally, I

27:39

would just keep my opinion to myself as

27:42

someone who wasn't personally affected by it. Because

27:46

I don't think that people typically would cancel a

27:48

show with like literally

27:50

last minute when we weren't there

27:52

unless it is like, it

27:55

has to be canceled. It has to be

27:57

some sort of emergency. So

28:00

it is not much of a secret that

28:02

Anita Baker is a diva. Not

28:04

a secret at all. So

28:07

it's kind of, again, easy, I think, to just

28:09

be like, well, it must be some very, very

28:11

deep if they ain't

28:13

not serious things, which is probably what folks

28:17

who are there thought. Because I

28:19

heard about this via an

28:22

amazing group of aunties on their, I

28:24

don't know if it was a TikTok

28:26

or real, I don't know where this

28:28

footage was initially uploaded.

28:32

But when I tell you this lady called

28:34

Anita a bald-headed hoe, like about seven to

28:36

eight times. I

28:40

rate OK. They look at me outside. Look

28:42

at the bald-headed ass. Like,

28:45

yes, literally outside of the venue, like in front

28:47

of the door. And they are

28:49

going off. And

28:51

you made a good point that I forgot.

28:53

It was like, it's Wednesday weekend. And

28:55

she turns the camera to her other group

28:57

of friends that are also there to get

29:00

some good Anita Baker in their system. That

29:04

sucks. It does suck. But I mean, I don't know

29:06

why it was canceled. Anita

29:08

Baker could be going through anything. I

29:11

really hope that it was for a

29:13

legitimate reason and not because like,

29:16

you know. She just wasn't feeling

29:18

it. Sound engineer at Heart

29:21

with Ethan or something. Because

29:23

like the lights. Late unforeseen

29:25

circumstances is crazy. That is

29:27

crazy. What you mean late unforeseen circumstances, like

29:29

did the whole inside of the building

29:32

collapse? Is she OK? Is

29:34

she? I'm OK. Yeah. Is she? Ha ha ha ha

29:36

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

29:38

ha ha ha. Maybe she had her period. Now you know

29:40

good and damn well. Ha ha ha ha ha ha

29:42

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

29:44

ha ha. Even if she did have her, never mind.

29:46

I'm not even going to tell you that. Why was

29:48

I even going to tell you? I don't know. Ha

29:50

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

29:52

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

29:55

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, I think it was, you

29:57

know, a lot of people probably planned this to be part of their

29:59

Mother's Day celebration. if not the whole

30:01

Mother's Day celebration. So. That's

30:03

almost, it almost feels like going to

30:05

see Santa on Christmas. Like

30:09

Mother's Day weekend, Anita Baker

30:11

live. In Atlanta. Right. Damn.

30:15

Yeah, yeah. And Anita

30:17

Baker usually be on Twitter, so. Well

30:21

that's true. I'm sure that she

30:23

was like, you know, let me just take a minute.

30:25

I actually hope she's okay because I

30:27

can't imagine canceling a show with

30:30

that little notice and

30:32

something not be incredibly

30:34

wrong. Like death

30:36

in the very close

30:38

family type of room. So

30:41

like. I literally cannot see. Right,

30:44

or some kind of medical emergency. Yeah,

30:46

yeah. Yeah. Something,

30:48

but yay. I mean, see what

30:51

happens. And honestly, you know, shadiness,

30:54

who was it that said that? Anita

30:57

Baker don't want to go on tour with him? Was it

30:59

Babyface? Who said that? That

31:01

she don't want to go on tour with him?

31:03

I remember there being something with them a

31:07

few months back. What's

31:09

the Babyface? I think I hate it. Oh,

31:12

Anita Baker bumps Babyface from tour. Oh,

31:15

that's right. He took her, she took him off

31:17

the song Strist tour. Okay. I

31:20

think that's what I remember. Ooh. But

31:23

sillyness, like that is why I

31:25

haven't heard anybody who's gone to

31:27

a Anita Baker show say that they, it wasn't

31:29

great. Oh no, it was excellent. It was everything

31:32

we wanted it to be. We had

31:34

a great time. Me, me, this was like 2018, 2019, but we

31:36

had big fun. So,

31:39

I mean, she's a legend, that's

31:41

why we went. Like,

31:43

when are you going to see Anita Baker perform again? But

31:45

I mean, she, I

31:50

don't even know what to say. I don't know what else

31:52

to say. Cause this is, I'm hoping she's all right. But

31:57

I get why people are pissed. I do, I do.

32:00

Yeah, me too. The frustration is understandable. Hey,

32:04

y'all, do you love to treat yourself? Maybe

32:06

you like to get yourself a fancy latte

32:08

or you splurge on the extra leg room

32:10

when you take sites. Listen,

32:13

if you treat yourself to the top options at

32:15

other places, why settle when you're finding a

32:17

32:20

That's where ZocDoc comes into the story. ZocDoc

32:47

right, let's get back to the show. Two

35:08

new disc records from another one. You

35:16

need to listen to you. I

35:21

wish Hazel would invite me to the studio because I

35:23

knew she's cooking up a classic Victoria

35:26

posted a video of her in the

35:28

studio. I don't know when it was,

35:30

but she was playing some beat and

35:32

Hazel was like bopping to it. She was

35:34

like, oh, yeah, yeah. Oh,

35:36

yeah. I thought somebody, I saw somebody

35:38

put a comment on it. Wait, I

35:40

hear a little something.

35:44

Like, give him a mic. I

35:47

think that was this. I

35:50

think that was Mother's Day. Cause that was,

35:52

I saw that. So, um, and

35:54

a slide of her dancing, uh, to Michael

35:57

Jackson. Oh my God. Oh,

36:02

she's so cute. Everything

36:04

they post of her. I'm just like, why is

36:07

this child? I won't have to make me. You

36:09

can't make me do

36:11

it. Okay. So who then? Who then?

36:13

It's not, it's not Hazel. Let's

36:16

start with King Combs. Also

36:20

known as Christian Combs. Youngest.

36:25

How did I forget about this? Youngest

36:27

of the boys, the rest are girls.

36:31

Okay. So now back

36:34

a few weeks, Christian

36:36

and his

36:39

brother, we mentioned were

36:43

basically detained outside of Puffy's

36:46

home or one of his homes when

36:49

the feds raided the place

36:52

in connection to an investigation

36:55

involving human trafficking and some

36:57

other shit. Serious stuff. That

37:02

stuff being in

37:04

connection with allegations and stuff that

37:07

he's still dealing with. I

37:11

think I've just read that

37:14

he made like a motion to have it thrown out or

37:16

something. I'm

37:19

sorry. I completely

37:21

forgot this. Okay. Now, so I googled it

37:24

real quick and I saw 50 minutes response.

37:27

I don't even know why he would do that. Oh

37:31

man. What a mess. Um,

37:38

yeah, he falls to dismiss a lawsuit.

37:41

Well, yeah, of course. I

37:43

mean, that's basic. Yep. Um,

37:46

so anyways, Christian Diddy's

37:48

youngest son made

37:51

a song called Pick a Side where

37:54

he takes shots at

37:56

feds at his

37:58

father's the

38:01

tractors, if you will. Okay.

38:06

And 53. The

38:11

song, I'll say this, if

38:14

it was about almost anything else in

38:16

the world. It's not

38:19

a bad song. But,

38:23

you know, starting with starting

38:26

your first verse with

38:28

the line, I dare one

38:30

of you niggas scream out no ditty. They're

38:35

doing it. They've been doing it, actually.

38:37

And what are you specifically going to

38:39

do about it? Like,

38:44

come on, Christian. You're 26. You've been

38:46

in what? Private school all your life.

38:48

And I'm sure you're just so big

38:50

and bad and tough, like, I'm sure. But, like,

38:53

you, what's going to happen then if

38:55

somebody says it? And then what? What

38:59

are you... What?

39:04

Um, I'll fast forward to the only other

39:06

line that kind of, or one of the

39:08

only other lines that stood out to me.

39:11

And actually, one that isn't bad, because most

39:13

of it is between, most

39:15

of what's between that first bar and this

39:18

is just like, I got money. I fuck

39:20

bitches. This

39:24

can't, you're, there's no way your lawyer... Police

39:26

raid the crib like they think we selling

39:28

crack. Oh, I guarantee you. The

39:33

attorneys are fuming. They,

39:35

like, I know the

39:37

legal team is fuming.

39:40

Police raid the crib like they

39:42

think we selling crack, but we

39:44

out here selling tracks. Multi-million dollar

39:46

plaques. Crack selling was never on

39:49

the menu when they kicked the doors down. You know that.

39:51

You know that. They

39:53

sell, oh yeah, they said you're selling tracks all

39:55

right. Right. It's the only

39:58

different kind of, I don't even know why you said that. Why

40:00

would you open the door for the 50 cent?

40:02

When all they had was 50 cent. Okay,

40:04

rather put this on wax when they got such a black one.

40:06

All they had was 50 cent who put the city on the

40:08

map. Stop lying. I don't know

40:10

what he means. Like,

40:14

I mean, is he saying that New

40:16

York was nothing until what? No, because

40:19

then he came out before 50 cent. So

40:21

what? So then what is he talking about when

40:23

all they had was 50? Maybe

40:26

he's talking about that one time that did he ran

40:28

a marathon. Did he do

40:30

that? I

40:33

think he did. Okay. Well,

40:35

that just flew right over my head.

40:37

I don't understand. Because I mean, that's like

40:39

literally running the map of the city.

40:43

Otherwise, I'm a little confused maybe somebody else

40:45

can, you know, tap it. Yeah. Pop

40:48

had been hated on by many men and

40:50

niggas, that's fine. They're going to try to

40:52

stop these M&Ms and they're going to

40:54

die trying. I'll give you that one. Yeah. This

40:57

is not bad. This is actually pretty clever. I'll give

40:59

you that one. And that's it. Die

41:01

trying, M&Ms. M&Ms. We get

41:03

it. Sure. That's it for me

41:05

personally. Yeah. Now I'd like to

41:08

discuss what's going on in this back end.

41:12

Where is this one line that it's actually the

41:14

line there? 50 cent or what a

41:16

50 cent's responses was. But

41:19

when I heard this, I was like, is

41:22

he serious? Let

41:24

them walk down like when them Fettie boys

41:26

ran in both of our cribs. Too

41:28

bad they ain't know we bought the one

41:30

next door because that's the one they miss.

41:36

Why would you put that on a song and then put the

41:38

song out for the people to hear the song? And

41:40

then we hear the song and you say that

41:42

on the phone and the feds hear the song

41:44

and the makers and then now that's some like,

41:47

why then he says, ask

41:50

him where my pops at. Why

41:52

don't you put me on a G6 getting a lineup? All you pussy

41:55

ass niggas line up. You.

42:01

Give them. And.

42:04

Once you just like turn on

42:06

and. Share my location, find

42:08

a friend once you just like

42:11

later, really give them all his

42:13

phone number his. Leg

42:16

was. One of the thought

42:18

process here. I don't get it. Like I said,

42:20

there's no way the. Attorneys cleared this or

42:22

know about in advance that he. Would

42:25

have never let you do little your

42:28

dad. And. Then

42:30

cinemas, the academics of all people.

42:33

Aren't even know about that! Wow, that

42:35

makes it was. Gives

42:40

his own allegations of came

42:43

out so ah it's. This

42:46

is not a bit you know, smart sources.

42:48

Why? maybe? He. Didn't think

42:50

this through. There

42:53

were so many. and there are

42:55

there ways that he could have

42:57

monopolized art. Sorry. He

43:00

their ways he could have

43:02

capitalized on of this. In

43:05

terms of music, okay, But.

43:07

You would have to be incredibly thoughtful

43:09

and intense and all about the lyrical

43:12

content in the direction of in the

43:14

song that song near you being like

43:16

Sauce ya Came became down his own.

43:18

You know we on one leg do

43:20

a yacht ego live As I was

43:22

edited it is that you know where

43:24

my daddy as the or is it.

43:27

Do. You are all of your little to

43:30

Mncs and fifty cents the one and

43:32

niggers that everyone knows don't give a

43:34

fuck about nobody. I

43:38

don't get it out of nowhere. have Mary's. That own

43:40

know I'm so scared. That

43:45

is it. Throws. His own children. And

43:47

that is actually despicable and. Disgusting behavior. but

43:50

why I can't There's no way imagine

43:52

from heard this man was Gov Bill

43:54

know is that oh I feel so

43:56

threatened. by the

43:59

christmas say it this record. I'm afraid for

44:01

my life. Please don't hurt me guys. Why do

44:03

niggas do this?

44:10

Do you want the feds to come back?

44:13

Do you want them to say, oh, well,

44:15

shall we sniff around a little more? Shall

44:17

we raid all your properties? Snitching

44:21

on yourself on record is such a

44:24

meme. There have been so many skips

44:26

about this. There have been so many

44:28

jokes about this. I don't even understand

44:30

why. Like, how are you? I

44:33

have to assume it's a lie because otherwise the

44:35

dumbest goddamn thing I've ever heard. So

44:38

it has to be a lie. It has to just

44:40

be saying stuff for the sake of,

44:42

you know, having a

44:44

diss record. But then the question becomes, why

44:46

did you feel that it was

44:49

necessary to put this out into the world? Why

44:51

wouldn't you just sit back, be rich and wait

44:53

for the attorneys to sort all this out? Why

44:56

would you jump into the

44:59

niggas of it all by putting out

45:01

a song to be dissected by everybody,

45:03

including the feds and

45:05

shared relentlessly over social media? Like, I just don't

45:08

understand why you felt like you needed to be

45:10

part of the discourse going on around

45:13

like you, you're in real trouble. Why

45:15

not just, I don't

45:17

get it. Why don't you sit down somewhere

45:19

and try to stay on the straight and

45:22

narrow, you know, like live your best life

45:24

or whatever until this entire situation is

45:26

settled? Like, why? What

45:29

am I missing? And

45:32

it's also summer. Like, why, where's like,

45:37

thank God for, you know, Barinda

45:40

Clark, because who

45:42

else? Speaking

45:44

of, you

45:46

did. I

45:50

love that I always have to say that was

45:52

iconic. I

45:57

almost can't believe it, but then I

45:59

can. I was like, not enough of y'all in the

46:01

audience actually know the worst of this. Like y'all should be

46:03

singing along. How y'all know the

46:05

worst of taking me to the king? That

46:08

song got me through one of the worst

46:10

years of my life. They would have sang

46:12

that bitch had to need a baker's motherfucking

46:14

concert. If

46:16

I knew that, I'd lock the door. I

46:20

love Megan's video by the way. Oh, it's

46:22

so good. There's

46:24

so many references that speak

46:27

like to the nerd in me. I

46:31

will get into more of that later because it's

46:33

part of my read. I liked them shredded pink

46:35

ombre pants she was wearing for the first night

46:37

of the hot girl summer. Oh my God. I

46:40

need those. First

46:43

of all, you would eat in those. Like eat,

46:46

eat. No

46:49

pride is safe with you in them pants. It

46:53

should be illegal. But the

46:55

way Megan's ass was just

46:57

like way too much. It

47:00

was incredible. I said, oh

47:02

my God. Like how can

47:04

one person look like this? How could, anyway, what were

47:06

we? One

47:12

other diss record that happened and it was by

47:15

Shaquille O'Neal directed at Shannon Shart. Oh,

47:18

okay. And you know what? I feel

47:20

like, yeah, we can just go in.

47:26

Shaq has never been able to rap. Here's

47:29

the thing. It's like all things considered,

47:31

it's not the

47:35

worst thing to listen to. Like I know

47:37

actual rap songs that are worse and

47:40

I can name a few of them. Okay, okay. Like

47:42

right now. It's just like,

47:44

why are you doing this Shaq? Okay, yeah.

47:46

Nobody needs it. Nobody wants it.

47:48

Yeah, and no one asks for it. It's not awful.

47:51

But you know, neither is like, I don't

47:54

know, tofu. I don't want that either. I

47:58

mean, Shaq, but Shannon, sorry. A

48:00

kazoo but he also be able to

48:02

to get along good have a good

48:04

side. Bird was about once a. Year.

48:07

Over and. Do. You know with

48:09

white man this is. Nicola yo

48:12

to your kids. Oh man,

48:14

that is it. And yep

48:16

the said In Fairbanks Denver.

48:21

Yeah. I. Think to them

48:23

it, map and record. I'm. Predicting.

48:26

Movements. Messing up

48:29

my time. It's big body.

48:32

Algorithm com by this is incredible

48:34

of this is a wow I

48:36

was in the conducting Words comes

48:38

out on our absolute. It's

48:40

a challenge, but I am. And and your. Eyes

48:43

are you were gonna say i don't you

48:45

going to bring up the horses but yeah

48:47

I guess I guess he's. I

48:52

can't say this as a grooming for the

48:55

supervisor. Mouth is a good theory or is

48:57

it is a dance and at a local

48:59

on Sarkozy. Anyway,

49:03

they got into a behind. It

49:06

goes he said like this was not

49:08

as theory is that say is that

49:10

was also like but as far as

49:12

and crazy. I

49:15

do think Big Thing Sack is Dallas's. Is.

49:18

A big crazy. And

49:21

I felt like first of all watching.

49:24

This class of same start

49:27

discussing. Way. Sexist or

49:29

and was with that he felt

49:31

like I say and sensitive. Been

49:33

mvp who. Is.

49:36

His name I say judges. Alexander's

49:38

as Alexander Very. Ah,

49:42

I'm. Kenny

49:44

Rights. Watch this question. I

49:46

was like this is so much more

49:48

palatable them he talking about almost anything

49:51

else? This is

49:53

Elaine. And. I'm

49:57

behind me see where, none serious.

50:00

Like I also probably would have been like, I

50:02

want the MVP to be a nigga. Well,

50:06

I mean, I also, Oklahoma City bias aside,

50:10

I agree that, There's that, right. Caché

50:12

was more of the MP MVP, at

50:14

least to me, but I'm biased. Then

50:18

like, why can you be biased? But that's

50:21

the nature of discussing sports too, is getting

50:23

riled up and just like, No, you're a

50:25

liar. And they love to do, like arguing

50:27

about it, that's what they do on

50:30

like all the sports networks. Funny. Right.

50:33

So this was just, Caché was like, you ain't never

50:35

been top 10 in your profession, bitch. I don't even

50:37

know why you talking to me. Well, well. He

50:40

was eating. He was eating. Caché

50:43

was eating. Not well, but he didn't. He

50:45

didn't, he had a snack. He

50:47

much. He had a snack. Yeah. Oh

50:51

man. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's a record

50:53

which I don't even know what it's

50:55

called. Took forever to get started, but

50:57

then once it's off, I was like, when

51:00

you consider that this is a 52

51:02

year old basketball, retired basketball legend, who's

51:06

making a random disrecord for

51:09

funsies. Right. Right. Right.

51:11

But yes, pairing it. I had to pair

51:13

it with the Christian Combs record. Cause on

51:15

both ends, I'm like, why? Why? Nobody,

51:18

like, are you just trying

51:20

to, are we swinging with

51:22

the disrecord momentum? Cause

51:25

those are people that actually can't. Oh, actually, I think

51:27

so. And like have real issues on

51:29

the table to discuss. Neither one of you needed to

51:31

pay any of it. One of you should not have

51:34

said this at all. I

51:38

agree. And the other one is like, we didn't

51:40

need this. Yeah. This is

51:42

just, who hasn't been though somewhere with

51:44

the family and two of your uncles

51:47

started arguing over the most ridiculous

51:50

scenario or something so

51:52

fucking stupid or inconsequential. Like

51:54

this is just two uncles fussing

51:56

to me. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

51:59

Yeah. One of them was like, I'm going to

52:01

make a rat a rat. And I was

52:03

like, that's where we are. Really?

52:06

I'm taking a different time. With your Bluetooth headset.

52:09

Is that what you were going to do? That

52:12

you were going to do, Ugg? We

52:14

made it past Kazam. And here

52:17

we are. And forgave you anyway.

52:19

We all moved on. And

52:21

it was fine. So we didn't have to

52:23

do this. But also, I don't know. It's

52:26

not Kazam. The kids don't know Kazam.

52:28

They might not. But

52:30

if I was Shaq, I wouldn't let Shannon Sharpe say no shit.

52:34

That's me either. Talk

52:36

to people on your fucking level. Yeah,

52:39

they were getting very light,

52:42

sniffy, on Shannon's podcast with

52:45

Chad and that other man. And

52:47

it was giving very much like, mm-mm, mm-mm,

52:51

mm-mm. No. Talk to somebody

52:53

on your level. I'm one of the greatest ever touched

52:55

basketball. And

52:57

also, everybody.

53:01

When I think of Shaq, I think

53:03

of stuffed animals,

53:05

like toys. Because

53:08

he was one of those basketball players, kind

53:11

of like LeBron and Mike and

53:13

a couple of other players that

53:15

had this pop culture

53:17

crossover appeal where

53:20

they're in all the commercials. They're

53:23

in movies. They have special cameos

53:25

on sitcoms. And you know, children love

53:28

them, and adults love them, and stuff

53:30

like that. Like I said, I can

53:33

probably go home and find Kazam on VHS. So

53:35

when I think of Shaq, I

53:38

kind of think of my

53:40

childhood first. But that's because

53:42

I'm not really a sportsman. What?

53:46

No way. So I think of

53:48

him. And

53:51

I just think of being a kid.

53:54

And also, when I worked on heat,

53:57

played at that time. And we won the

53:59

championship. Watching basketball. games on

54:01

holidays because my granddaddy and my uncles

54:03

would not let nobody else change the

54:05

channel so yeah

54:11

we're watching football or basketball whichever one is

54:13

on and if you don't like to go outside and play like

54:15

he is supposed to be doing leave literally

54:17

just go somewhere else black American black

54:19

Caribbean the answer

54:25

is all the same and y'all asking my

54:27

spades and my house is Domino's but at

54:30

the end of the day girly if you

54:32

54:54

59:31

59:33

to say I really missed y'all over these

59:35

past two weeks because

59:37

we just didn't have the time but we're

59:39

here now and

59:44

y'all have a lot going on so

59:46

let's dive into it. Our

59:48

first question is from Manny who wants to know

59:50

am I the asshole? I'm

59:54

a 29 year old male and my partner

59:56

is a 30 year old woman. we've been

59:58

dating for just over. And much. We

1:00:01

met a little over a year ago in grad school

1:00:03

here in New York City and immediately hit it off.

1:00:06

Based. Off our shared backgrounds. She's

1:00:08

an international student on a work study program

1:00:10

and she's from the and she's from the

1:00:12

same country that my family m emigrated from

1:00:14

says two generations back. After.

1:00:16

Graduating we became inseparable. It began

1:00:19

Dating has been amazing ever since.

1:00:22

This. Is the best relationship I've been er et cetera.

1:00:24

she so great. See as mentioned minutes on she doesn't

1:00:26

want to go back to her home country and wants

1:00:28

to stay in the Us and become a citizen. And

1:00:31

I also don't plan on leaving the U S anytime

1:00:33

soon. Sorry you to the on a similar path. Katsidis.

1:00:36

Past January. When my girlfriend lost

1:00:38

her job. She. Was devastated and

1:00:40

I felt so bad for her. I did my

1:00:43

best to comfort. And care for her as or

1:00:45

partner. And ever since I've been

1:00:47

helping her look for a new job. The

1:00:49

hardest part is that based on her. Steady Work

1:00:51

program. She can only find a job in her

1:00:54

field of study and needs to be a verified

1:00:56

company. And she could not be unemployed for more

1:00:58

than ninety days. With. That

1:01:00

yeah Lupus. they know play of

1:01:02

move very. The rules are very

1:01:04

strict. Oh. Last year.

1:01:07

Without. Meeting all three criteria see can

1:01:09

not extent or program one more year starting

1:01:12

this July and will need leave the country.

1:01:14

The. Last few months have been

1:01:16

a lot of sleepless nights. yeah,

1:01:19

I anxiety working on her resume

1:01:21

and portfolio. Et. Cetera et cetera

1:01:23

as she has struggled to find a job while

1:01:25

her ninety day clock ticked down and sell file

1:01:27

a lawyer. She. Got a job

1:01:29

interview and then. And offer. As

1:01:32

are Amazing and that was so proud of her! I

1:01:35

was jumping up and down think all of our problems

1:01:37

were behind us. She turned down

1:01:39

the job offers. Oh

1:01:42

offer. She says she doesn't like the

1:01:44

location is and queens and she said she

1:01:46

didn't feel safe. Walking around over there.

1:01:50

See also interviewed at a. Different. From that

1:01:52

had an amazing office with waterfront views the she

1:01:55

was rejected from so I think she got a

1:01:57

taste of something quote unquote better and when it's

1:01:59

a hotel. for a different job, even though she

1:02:01

promised me a month earlier that she wouldn't turn

1:02:03

down this offer and jeopardize her place in the

1:02:06

country. We got into a huge

1:02:08

fight over it. She wants me to support her, but I

1:02:10

told her I was afraid that this could be the only

1:02:12

job offer she gets and she might be deported, which could

1:02:14

end our relationship. She

1:02:16

started to make me feel bad for not believing

1:02:19

in her and even said she would resent me

1:02:21

if she was forced to take this job and

1:02:23

she would rather go back to her country than work

1:02:25

at this firm. Okay. Okay.

1:02:29

That's a good question. It

1:02:32

was a bad fight, but eventually we made up and I

1:02:34

agreed to support her in turning down the offer and continue

1:02:36

to help her look for new jobs. A

1:02:38

month has passed and there have been no new

1:02:40

offers. She's getting worried again and is

1:02:42

going back to feeling anxious and crying about how hard

1:02:44

this is and how unfair it is that nobody will

1:02:47

give her an opportunity. I'm at a

1:02:49

point now where it's just annoying whenever she cries about it

1:02:51

and I'll hug her to consult her, but I roll my

1:02:53

eyes when she's not looking. Listen,

1:02:59

I hate feeling this way because I want

1:03:01

to care about her and empathize when she's

1:03:03

sad, but I'm struggling and it makes me feel

1:03:05

guilty. There's a 12 hour time

1:03:07

difference between our countries and I cannot bring myself

1:03:09

to say that I will definitely continue the relationship

1:03:11

if she moves back home. Oh, you are. I

1:03:14

really love this girl and before this I could see a future

1:03:16

with her, but I can't bring myself to

1:03:18

be as supportive as I need. I'm constantly going

1:03:20

back and forth thinking I'll do anything for her

1:03:22

and no, this is so annoying and inconvenient. I can't

1:03:24

put up with it no more. This

1:03:27

is Draining. I would love to hear

1:03:29

your thoughts on the situation. Thanks,

1:03:32

Jason. Man,

1:03:34

who, who

1:03:36

are you? I think

1:03:39

I called him Manny, didn't I? Yeah.

1:03:41

Okay. So Manny. I can't

1:03:44

remember either. Man, I, Okay,

1:03:49

so I don't think you're an asshole. What's

1:03:53

going on with the theory that if

1:03:55

you have to ask usually. Yeah.

1:04:01

I think you're on the hopefully

1:04:03

for sorry did. I.

1:04:06

See it because fake. I

1:04:10

kind of get. Holding.

1:04:12

Out. For. A job.

1:04:15

Or. Rejecting an offer for

1:04:17

a number of reasons to

1:04:20

be zoller and like guy

1:04:22

or see is in. A

1:04:25

bit more. Like a

1:04:27

desperate situation. Yet or yes,

1:04:30

urgent. Situation

1:04:32

So. He.

1:04:36

It. Doesn't feel. A

1:04:40

That's. Logical.

1:04:43

Although I can't help but consider like.

1:04:46

Walking around. Almost

1:04:49

any where's the when the by

1:04:51

yourself from scripts though I'd not

1:04:53

invalidating Like a whole i'm scared

1:04:55

of this defendant that's better have

1:04:58

like girl. I

1:05:00

want to get deported. And

1:05:02

he don't have many. Lie

1:05:05

adversity right? absence are few

1:05:07

here air because of the

1:05:09

ways the your strict aid

1:05:11

in know like. Is.

1:05:14

Guy like because you wanted to

1:05:16

be. I expect you to continue

1:05:18

to to support her financially and

1:05:20

own these other things if you

1:05:23

might need to be doing. Them

1:05:27

up on can be like oh she rejected it

1:05:29

because they despite our terms of the pay. Oh

1:05:32

well, now it was sitting. Want to

1:05:34

go to Queens? Which. In

1:05:36

People. See it as he comes from.

1:05:38

kind of like a sheltered background but

1:05:41

this is just so outside of not

1:05:43

what I would do him a situation.

1:05:45

Like. It as had to find a job

1:05:47

that meets these certain criteria or else I

1:05:49

get deployed it and. I want to stay.

1:05:52

I'm going to take the first job

1:05:55

that meets those criteria. that's where

1:05:57

i would have ended up i hate it start

1:05:59

looking person else, but I'm gonna

1:06:01

secure my bills, secure

1:06:04

my home, secure my

1:06:06

status as a

1:06:08

non-citizen living somewhere else. Like I'm gonna do

1:06:10

that first. I'm not gonna... But she was

1:06:12

very much like, well, I would rather be

1:06:14

deported than do the... Right. So

1:06:17

when you say that... But you wanna start packing now? Or... Like,

1:06:20

okay. Well, girl, you don't even have to be deported. You can

1:06:22

just leave voluntarily. You

1:06:24

don't have to wait for them to make you. You can't.

1:06:27

Just now. No. It

1:06:29

was just like, come on now. Are

1:06:32

you working overnight by yourself patrolling the

1:06:34

streets of Queens, like, alone? What do

1:06:36

you mean you feel unsafe? I've

1:06:39

been to Queens countless times and have never felt any

1:06:41

less safe. I'm like, I don't know what part of

1:06:43

the Queens are. Right. I

1:06:46

don't really get that, but as soon as she says

1:06:48

she would rather be deported than work there, that's when

1:06:50

I would have washed my hands of the situation entirely.

1:06:52

Like you got it. Because why am I stressing

1:06:54

out when you're not stressing out? Right.

1:06:57

If it's that simple for you... And

1:07:00

I mean... Being deported is literally an

1:07:02

option for you that you're okay with.

1:07:05

Right. Under the circumstances. What else is there for you to

1:07:08

say? Right. There's nothing for me to argue

1:07:10

with at that point. So I also don't

1:07:12

think you're the asshole. I

1:07:15

think... Maybe

1:07:18

you felt like it was from the eye rolling behind her back.

1:07:21

Well, yeah, it sounds like you're frustrated. And

1:07:24

rightfully so. You

1:07:27

had a job offer. You turned it down.

1:07:29

You said I would rather go home than

1:07:31

work there. Okay. But now you're

1:07:33

back to crying because you can't find a job. Which one is it?

1:07:36

I can't handle that. You're back. You're

1:07:38

gonna have to... Wild. To

1:07:41

choose. Yeah, choose which lane

1:07:43

you're going down with me when that

1:07:46

comes up. So I mean, I guess

1:07:48

on the bright side, you only have to

1:07:50

go woo woo woo for a little while longer because

1:07:53

she will be going home before

1:07:55

2 am. So you're

1:07:58

right about how like... it's

1:08:00

probably going to be very, very difficult,

1:08:02

if not impossible, to keep up a

1:08:04

long-distance relationship when your countries are 12

1:08:06

hours apart. Oh, you

1:08:09

need to break that when she leaves.

1:08:11

Yeah, don't leave it. Don't.

1:08:14

Yeah. And I mean, was she thinking not

1:08:16

even just the job, was she thinking about

1:08:18

everything she would really be leaving behind when she

1:08:21

said that she would rather move back home

1:08:23

than stay and work in Queens? I

1:08:27

just thought, was she thinking about your relationship? Because it

1:08:29

don't sound like she was. It

1:08:31

sounds like she was thinking more

1:08:33

about, I don't know, the prestige of

1:08:35

a certain job, maybe what it would look

1:08:37

like to other people. The

1:08:40

way that this is a letter is where

1:08:42

it gets back. You're mentioning like, oh, well,

1:08:44

she had to offer with waterfront, this is

1:08:47

such a thing. She kind of got a

1:08:49

taste of what's out there. And

1:08:53

like, I get

1:08:55

that when, I don't

1:08:58

know, you're opening birthday presents. Yeah, when

1:09:00

the stakes aren't so high. Getting new

1:09:02

shoes. But

1:09:04

like, getting a job

1:09:06

or a job

1:09:09

that is dependent on whether or not you

1:09:11

can stay in the country with your man

1:09:13

and your thing. And your life that you

1:09:15

claim to like. And your 1,000% right. Like,

1:09:18

girl, accept the damn job. And

1:09:20

if it's hell, you don't even

1:09:23

have to stop. You

1:09:25

can accept the job and continue looking. Yeah,

1:09:28

you literally, you're just trying to stay in

1:09:30

the country since not settled down forever. Yeah,

1:09:34

it's wild. Yeah, it is wild. So, I

1:09:36

don't know. I

1:09:41

think maybe I'm too petty to be in a

1:09:43

relationship because my first

1:09:45

inclination would be like, every time she

1:09:47

cried, I'd be like, what happened to her, I would rather go home

1:09:50

than work that job at Queens. Like, why are you stressed? Why

1:09:53

are you stressed? You

1:09:55

better call them niggas and queens and see if they

1:09:57

still hiring. Otherwise... I mean, we could just start. working

1:10:00

on shipping now. Just to stress off.

1:10:03

I mean, if you want to, like we can just

1:10:05

we can get some boxes and

1:10:07

so that she won't be because you

1:10:09

told me you would rather leave me

1:10:12

than working queens. That's

1:10:15

how I took it. So let me help, I guess. Good luck to

1:10:17

you. Good

1:10:25

luck to you, Manny. Let us know if she finds another

1:10:27

job or what happens with y'all. But

1:10:29

yeah, not the asshole. I

1:10:31

have a feeling if it is not, if she even

1:10:33

she does find another job, y'all are going to break

1:10:35

up. Who's going to be thumbnail? But it says so

1:10:37

much to me about you. It

1:10:40

does. It does. Okay,

1:10:43

our next letter comes from Shimon,

1:10:46

who says, all right, my husband and

1:10:48

I have one toddler, two dogs, and

1:10:50

I'm expecting a new baby. We

1:10:53

own our home and have a backyard. Our

1:10:55

first dog is a refined dapper

1:10:57

cuddle bear who loves to do some light

1:10:59

play. But for the most part, he's very easy to care

1:11:01

for. We got him in 2019.

1:11:04

And my husband felt like he gravitated to me.

1:11:06

But to be fair, I work from home. And

1:11:08

my husband's job keeps him at work 12 hours a

1:11:10

day. So he's only here overnight and on his days off.

1:11:13

The second dog spot who we got in 2021

1:11:15

is this

1:11:18

person is not black, like they told him,

1:11:20

it sounds like a white person, or like

1:11:22

at least not a black person. Spot, no

1:11:25

way. Well, spot is not the

1:11:27

dog's real name. It is a

1:11:30

fake name. So okay, that just says

1:11:32

a lot to me about what to expect in this letter, because

1:11:34

why would you make a fake name for the dog? Now

1:11:40

I don't know. It's a hurting breed with

1:11:43

incredibly high energy. And she does

1:11:46

not listen. She

1:11:49

definitely prefers my husband over me and

1:11:51

she requires a lot of attention with, which with

1:11:55

a toddler and a full time job I simply

1:11:57

cannot provide. She recently bid a

1:11:59

round. rodent, dug holes

1:12:01

in the backyard, and is constantly destroying things

1:12:03

in the house. I don't even want to

1:12:05

know. Yeah. Yeah.

1:12:09

These are all issues that I have to handle

1:12:11

during my workday, such as taking her to

1:12:13

the vet after she bites a rodent and filling

1:12:15

up the holes in the backyard before my toddler comes

1:12:17

home so that he won't twist his ankle. If

1:12:19

she throws up or shits in her cage, I

1:12:21

clean it because I'm here. I give

1:12:23

her baths, clean her cage and bed, and ensure she's

1:12:26

up to date on all her shots, even though I

1:12:28

never wanted to stalk. I saw one dog was plenty.

1:12:32

I told my husband that I think we need to find

1:12:34

a new home for Spot because I don't feel like he

1:12:36

is able to take care of her. Even

1:12:38

when he gets home, he barely gives her any

1:12:40

attention because he's so tired. I

1:12:42

found an app that matches you with people looking to

1:12:44

adopt, and I mentioned it, but he was incredibly upset.

1:12:48

I feel like this is one of those things that could

1:12:50

really impact my marriage because I just don't think he would

1:12:52

ever forgive me. But I have

1:12:54

an incredibly demanding job in a male-dominated industry. My toddler

1:12:56

will get sick and I have to run and pick

1:12:58

him up and keep him home. So adding the time

1:13:00

I miss at work to care for this dog is

1:13:03

just too much. I'm so stressed all the

1:13:05

time trying to perform at work while having little help

1:13:07

with my son. I just know two kids will

1:13:09

push me over the edge and we don't have

1:13:11

family nearby that can help. Would

1:13:13

y'all be willing to care for an animal that

1:13:15

your spouse wanted but didn't have the time for,

1:13:18

or would you put your foot down and re-home

1:13:20

the dog? Thanks. Love

1:13:22

the show. Shamone, which is a name

1:13:24

I made up. You

1:13:27

asked the wrong person, Shamone,

1:13:29

because I

1:13:32

like dogs more than humans. But

1:13:35

this dog is from hell. Is

1:13:39

it though, or does the dog need

1:13:41

training? Is

1:13:44

it just being a dog? Yeah,

1:13:48

a lot of dogs, especially depending

1:13:50

on their breed, are going

1:13:52

to be wild child if they have

1:13:54

no training, if they have no boundaries.

1:14:00

and like you have to really

1:14:02

train certain dogs.

1:14:04

Got you. Um, and

1:14:09

there's nothing in this letter that gives me,

1:14:12

oh, well here's the process that we've gone through in

1:14:14

order to, because I know some people don't train the

1:14:16

dog at all. Oh no, no. And

1:14:19

then just do whatever, like get them a cage

1:14:22

and then... And

1:14:25

honestly, a lot of breeds of dogs

1:14:28

are, smart

1:14:31

enough that they can kind of

1:14:33

like be like, okay,

1:14:35

I pooped in my cage and

1:14:37

you yelled at me. So, like,

1:14:39

you know, like some dogs maybe

1:14:42

can just

1:14:44

pick up on things sometimes. Yeah, maybe. But

1:14:46

like, girl, let

1:14:48

me say something. Link

1:14:50

has been in lessons. Okay,

1:14:53

like, because there's just... You

1:14:56

want to talk for that. And she's still

1:14:58

a fucking terrier. 12 pounds. I

1:15:01

know and I understand that her breed gives, everything

1:15:04

is, I have to smell it. Everything is

1:15:06

what is that? Everything is, oh my gosh,

1:15:08

let's play until, you know, she passed. And

1:15:10

so I get it, but she

1:15:13

would be a hot mess.

1:15:16

If it were not for like, she just

1:15:19

would. She would be a hot

1:15:21

ass mess if I didn't train her. And

1:15:25

I think that's also like a thing that you kind of

1:15:28

do with dogs in certain places. For

1:15:30

like the length of the time that you have them.

1:15:32

So I would say before risking

1:15:35

your marriage. I

1:15:39

would look into like

1:15:42

obedience classes. Okay.

1:15:47

I haven't like scoped the scene of what that

1:15:49

looks like lately, but I'm sure you can even

1:15:51

have people who are like apps where you can

1:15:54

have somebody come to your house and like meet

1:15:56

the dog and help you. Like personally,

1:15:58

I know that. there are some obedience

1:16:00

classes where I think you can just

1:16:02

drop the dog off. I don't know

1:16:04

how that would work though. Like there,

1:16:08

I know that there are also classes where

1:16:10

you are with the dog and you are

1:16:13

witnessing their training and are participating

1:16:15

in their training. Um,

1:16:18

so that you know what to do when you know

1:16:20

what I mean? I'm pretty sure also training obedience class

1:16:22

where you get to drop a damn dog off. But

1:16:24

I don't know to learn to respond to you. That's

1:16:28

what I'm saying. Like I've never, I've

1:16:30

never actually done that. Okay. Um,

1:16:32

but I'm pretty sure there are

1:16:34

options. I just would not

1:16:36

recommend that unless like, girl, I do not have

1:16:39

time. I don't have time to

1:16:41

spot. Nobody has time for spot. Surely,

1:16:43

you know, maybe something can still come up

1:16:45

with, but yes, before I like, um,

1:16:48

taking this dog out of this environment

1:16:50

that he probably loves and away from

1:16:53

a human that he probably

1:16:55

loves that also loves him. I

1:16:58

would give some sort of

1:17:00

training ago. There's

1:17:03

a million and 10 books that you can

1:17:05

read, even some that are specific to your

1:17:07

dog's breeds tons of stuff that you can

1:17:09

read online. Like I

1:17:12

learned very, I

1:17:14

learned when when link was a puppy

1:17:16

that, um, I

1:17:19

noticed that she would like fake sneeze when

1:17:21

she wanted attention. Oh my God, that's

1:17:23

so cute. And I was just like, what

1:17:26

is that? Like why does she make this

1:17:28

sneezing noise when she wants me

1:17:30

to like look and come to her or whatever?

1:17:32

It's like, if my dog

1:17:34

just like really manipulative for, and

1:17:37

I go through like, I saw a few

1:17:40

Yorkie owners that were like, no, that's what they

1:17:42

do when I want, when they feel like they

1:17:44

want you to get off the computer or turn,

1:17:46

turn the phone off. You

1:17:50

know, that's adorable though. I

1:17:52

think you just need to do a little bit of research

1:17:54

and the dog you have been try and play it on

1:17:56

the training and give them as much

1:17:58

pay. as you can,

1:18:01

if once you exhaust that option,

1:18:03

if it's not making a difference and

1:18:06

you are just not able

1:18:08

to properly care for a dog and

1:18:10

your man who loves a dog is

1:18:12

not doing it, then I think yeah, it's

1:18:15

better for the dog in

1:18:17

that case for you to find

1:18:19

a home where he will be

1:18:22

given the training and

1:18:25

attention and all of the things

1:18:27

that that individual dog needs. But

1:18:29

I think that like, you

1:18:33

know, I just love dogs. I

1:18:35

think they're all little angels and they,

1:18:38

you know, I just don't believe

1:18:40

in bad dogs. I don't know. I

1:18:42

just think that some dogs need to be,

1:18:45

need like training and some dogs also got

1:18:47

a bad rap. I

1:18:49

think some dogs are bad because they have bad owners.

1:18:52

That's what I mean. Not inherently like a bad dog,

1:18:55

kind of like with kids. Kids aren't bad. Y'all

1:18:57

are bad at parenting them. There you go. So

1:19:00

I get that. Did you see the clip of that man

1:19:02

say that he just, uh, some

1:19:04

seven year old daddy. Oh my

1:19:06

God. Yes. I, I had to

1:19:08

cut it off. I was like, so you, okay.

1:19:13

I can't believe it. That

1:19:17

man started off that video with, let me

1:19:19

just apologize. I

1:19:22

also don't know.

1:19:26

I don't know that going to fight somebody

1:19:28

was the best way to teach your child that

1:19:30

bullying is wrong. Kind of seems like the

1:19:33

message was a little unclear,

1:19:35

but, uh, I understand the impulse.

1:19:37

Anyway. Um, my whole

1:19:40

thing was like, did you have to jump in? What

1:19:42

did he look like? And

1:19:44

then you look like you work security and still

1:19:46

like, you know, this is a crime, right? And if he

1:19:48

wants to press charges, he could. Why do y'all get on

1:19:50

camera and admit to your crimes? I don't get it. But

1:19:54

it's wild to me. I, I mean, so

1:19:57

I agree. The dog

1:19:59

probably. Like she said the dog needs

1:20:01

attention that she doesn't have the time for and

1:20:04

the husband doesn't have the time for it So then if

1:20:06

y'all don't have time to train the dog, you have to have

1:20:08

the money to train the dog To

1:20:10

send him somewhere where they can you

1:20:13

know help help the dog

1:20:15

act like like

1:20:17

it knows how to act so I Feel

1:20:20

like though Shimon. This is not really I

1:20:23

feel for you because you didn't ask for the

1:20:26

dog your husband got it But then your husband

1:20:28

is not taking care of the responsibility of making

1:20:30

sure That is that's the

1:20:32

dog is behaving properly like your husband comes

1:20:34

home tired from work and don't do nothing

1:20:36

with the dog You don't want to know

1:20:38

my day Mm-hmm.

1:20:42

No, I'm just thinking like if you just let the dog

1:20:45

bite, you know rats

1:20:48

and mice and just dig up holes and

1:20:50

your baby skins his knee and and Shits

1:20:53

all over the place and you just leave it there

1:20:55

for your husband to clean up and fix

1:20:57

when he gets home I wonder how that

1:21:00

conversation would go Cuz

1:21:02

you didn't ask for this extra responsibility.

1:21:04

Let me break my

1:21:06

hair Behind

1:21:08

my ear and she's gonna have

1:21:10

a newborn a newborn Anna toddler and you want

1:21:12

me to deal with this dog, too And

1:21:16

I forgot she is pregnant.

1:21:19

Yeah, so I really

1:21:21

understand This

1:21:24

like if I did not just prove that I

1:21:26

love dogs more than people you completely blanked

1:21:28

out everything She said and said but the dog

1:21:31

because the poor dog And

1:21:35

a lot of dogs do act out because

1:21:38

of anxiety and a lot of

1:21:40

that anxiety is dealt with right

1:21:42

through multiple long

1:21:45

walks Playing with them a

1:21:47

certain amount of it Like

1:21:49

I learned early on that like I have

1:21:52

I take a link on scent walks Like

1:21:54

there's like exercise work and I had to

1:21:56

take her on walks where she can just

1:21:58

smell whatever whatever Yeah,

1:22:01

and so I think sometimes when it

1:22:03

comes to the dog and stuff, there's like

1:22:06

certain things you might not know That

1:22:09

you know, you can consider in terms of a dog's

1:22:11

behavior But in terms of

1:22:13

the dog you miss Yeah

1:22:22

No 1000% like this

1:22:24

is the dog that you want you are

1:22:26

upset at the mere Idea of us giving

1:22:28

this dog about her home, even though we

1:22:30

have another dog plus two kids If

1:22:34

you are that like yeah the

1:22:37

answer the question I I Love

1:22:40

dogs so much that I would still just

1:22:42

look after the dog however,

1:22:45

I Would

1:22:47

be on my niggas ass You

1:22:49

know, like there was like because it's like

1:22:51

girl I have linked Yeah

1:22:55

And she know how to add baby. It's boozier

1:22:57

to me. So at this point like you

1:23:00

went wacko or yes or dog Like

1:23:07

We're not Me and link

1:23:09

are both over here clutching our pearls So you

1:23:11

need to make sure that you figure it something

1:23:13

the fuck out if you're not going to be

1:23:15

here to walk this nigga Twice a day that

1:23:18

you need to find a dog walker. I'm not

1:23:20

going to look up a damn dog walker bitch

1:23:22

I'm pregnant and I already have a dog and

1:23:24

I want this goddamn dog because I'm tired of

1:23:26

cleaning shit out of my motherfucking cage And taking

1:23:29

him down to the vet because she want to

1:23:31

go and bite rats in bed. So sweetie you

1:23:35

Need to find someone Even

1:23:39

in the case of putting the dog in an obedience

1:23:41

class of training or whatever. That's not something that you

1:23:43

need to do That's

1:23:46

something that he has to do. This is his all

1:23:48

right his responsibility But it's falling

1:23:50

on you because you're the one at home

1:23:53

and because you're not gonna just let dog

1:23:55

know you ain't that around all day You

1:23:58

ain't that because left that shit to

1:24:01

their home and for him to come home

1:24:03

and clean. And then we're talking about womanhood.

1:24:05

Right. You hate that. No, you hate that.

1:24:08

You sound like one of my clients. She talks just like

1:24:10

that. I have

1:24:13

a, um, to your point about

1:24:15

the dog having anxiety, it's very possible that

1:24:18

the dog is acting like this during the

1:24:20

day because his favorite person is not there.

1:24:22

The dog prefers your husband. And so then

1:24:24

the dog is at home with you all day.

1:24:27

Grimstin at this bit, baby reindeer,

1:24:29

but now you running around in

1:24:32

circles and biting the

1:24:39

damn plants out the pots and shit,

1:24:41

bitch. I hate you. I hate you.

1:24:44

And you're not just pregnant. Like you,

1:24:46

you're not just pregnant at home. You

1:24:48

got a demanding job. Like you work

1:24:50

from home and you have a

1:24:52

toddler and you're pregnant. Here's another

1:24:54

pet. Yeah. Sorry.

1:24:57

I, I, yeah, he's playing. Would

1:24:59

I be willing to care for an

1:25:01

animal? My spouse wanted, but couldn't care

1:25:03

for, for a certain amount of time.

1:25:06

I would give my spouse like, Ooh,

1:25:09

well it also depends on how pregnant you

1:25:11

are before the baby comes. You

1:25:13

need to figure out what you're going to do with this dog. 10,000.

1:25:16

Cause if I

1:25:20

give birth, nigga, nigga,

1:25:23

I'm not looking after a toddler

1:25:25

and a newborn and a dog

1:25:27

and crazy motherfucker. You want

1:25:30

him. I don't. Right.

1:25:33

The first time we have his chill, that

1:25:35

thing, it don't cause me no problems. So

1:25:37

do you really think with

1:25:39

titties leaking fucking

1:25:42

pads on cause everything, everything

1:25:45

hurts. God, God, you

1:25:47

know, you might be stitched

1:25:49

up. Yeah. Right. You might, you might have

1:25:51

to get stitched up and all of the

1:25:53

fuck shit that you might've said. Let me

1:25:55

say this time and say, please start sending

1:25:57

me these pregnancy tic talks and be like,

1:26:00

And another thing to the list, it is frightening.

1:26:02

I don't like it. I

1:26:04

don't like it. The

1:26:08

amount of shit that people be

1:26:10

sending me like, pregnant women experiencing

1:26:12

like six months of blindness. I'm

1:26:15

like, I don't want this. I

1:26:18

was already horrified. You don't have to scare me

1:26:21

further. The girls felt seen,

1:26:23

okay? You made them feel seen with that. That

1:26:25

really meant a lot to them. To get his

1:26:27

shit down. Yes, he does. Until

1:26:30

you go to the hospital or wherever you give

1:26:32

birth. He needs to do it. Now.

1:26:35

Now. This weekend,

1:26:37

whatever it like, as

1:26:40

soon as your earliest convenience, you need

1:26:42

to be planning some shit for this

1:26:45

dance. Because I can live without

1:26:47

him. Yeah. It sounds like

1:26:49

your husband is just in his feelings because the

1:26:51

first dog likes you more. And so he wants

1:26:53

a dog that likes him more. But like that

1:26:56

is first of all childish. And

1:26:58

secondly, dogs

1:27:00

aren't, you know, they're not photos in a frame. You

1:27:02

don't just put them somewhere and they stay there and

1:27:05

you can just look at it when you feel like

1:27:07

it. Like this is a living

1:27:09

being and it requires a lot of work, especially

1:27:11

when they're new. Especially

1:27:14

when they're new. And you know what's crazy

1:27:16

about what you just said? That's

1:27:18

what you literally say to your children when

1:27:20

you're getting them a pair. Ooh, weak. Y'all

1:27:22

are raising your eyes. Are you sure you

1:27:25

can hand you're ready for a dog? It's

1:27:27

a big responsibility. It's a lot of work.

1:27:29

Mama not going to be walking him blind.

1:27:32

Yes, you are. And it

1:27:34

is. But you're talking, in this case, it's your

1:27:36

husband. And I saw

1:27:38

a clip earlier today from a Twitch streamer and

1:27:40

talking, I'm not even going to get into it.

1:27:42

I was just like, you know what? I

1:27:44

would be a faggot 10 times over before

1:27:46

a woman. I'm so sorry. This is what

1:27:48

y'all got to deal with. I

1:27:53

would want more of my

1:27:56

sisters to be able to

1:27:58

subscribe to that. What's

1:28:00

her name? Whoopi Goldberg hit and run stack

1:28:02

1:28:05

fall dead you can't even see your

1:30:27

toes and yet you running after some

1:30:29

dog vomiting all over

1:30:31

your kitchen And

1:30:33

your child like and your two-year-old over here

1:30:36

like mommy And

1:30:39

the other dog in the cut like I told you not

1:30:41

to get another damn dog. I told you Literally,

1:30:44

I'm the dog don't even like this right

1:30:46

like why you come in here be disruptive

1:30:50

We have a nice home We

1:30:52

do things in a nice way Yeah,

1:30:55

hopefully it works out, but I understand if

1:30:57

it don't understand if I cannot blame you

1:30:59

if you put that dog out Do it

1:31:02

ethically, you know rehome them, but you

1:31:04

leave that nigga with me all day. He liable to not

1:31:06

stay here so figure it out

1:31:08

a lot admin gains dog, but I Want

1:31:12

dogs to be in a place where they get

1:31:14

what they deserve where they have the

1:31:17

right? Family for them like there's some

1:31:19

dogs that just don't fuck with kids like

1:31:22

Maya Maya has her dog

1:31:24

forever and then had saga and Jackie

1:31:28

was like first Maya's iconic

1:31:30

for naming that dog Jackie Jackie

1:31:33

has never liked kids and I

1:31:36

was praying that Jackie would change her mind

1:31:38

about my kid Jackie did not I Told

1:31:42

you no kids. So what the fuck is

1:31:45

the problem? I had to yeah, they had

1:31:47

to give Jackie to a nice

1:31:49

couple with a bunch of land and no key It

1:31:52

has to cuz you know, she's had that dog forever,

1:31:55

but their family Yes,

1:31:58

but at the same time Jackie deserves to be

1:32:00

in a place. Exactly. And

1:32:02

your child cannot be, you know,

1:32:04

your dog cannot be nipping at

1:32:06

your child. That's obviously not acceptable.

1:32:08

So, you know, we do what's

1:32:10

best for them even when it hurts and that

1:32:12

might have to be what happens to Spud. That's

1:32:15

1000% the main point. It's

1:32:17

like, if you're not going to get this thing of some

1:32:19

training or whatever, say we can, I

1:32:22

can manage him when you're not here better. Yeah.

1:32:25

Then he needs to be with someone who is

1:32:27

going to take that time. You don't even love

1:32:29

the damn dog enough to do the things you

1:32:32

need to take care of for the dog that

1:32:34

you want. Or you tired. Let's give him a

1:32:36

family that will 1000% success with him and give

1:32:38

him constant scratches and scratches. Yeah. Then he probably

1:32:41

won't be outside, you know, eating gerbils. Get your

1:32:43

life together. Your husband don't have the time for

1:32:45

a dog this needy. If he works 12 hours

1:32:47

a day, that's understandable. That's what you got to

1:32:49

get a fish or some sort

1:32:51

of reptile in a cage, something that is

1:32:53

fine sitting there. A cat don't

1:32:56

care if you come home. The

1:33:04

club. I

1:33:06

got my key. Don't worry. Lock it up. I

1:33:13

am not a cat girl, but I

1:33:16

can respect given where it's due. And

1:33:20

I don't actually know. Those are grown women.

1:33:25

Best of luck. And let us know

1:33:27

what happens. Please do. And good luck

1:33:29

with your upcoming fucking giving birth. Like

1:33:32

the fact that you even have to argue with this man about

1:33:34

this is insane. The fact

1:33:36

that you literally become an Animorph just

1:33:39

to like men

1:33:42

don't think they don't think like a whole

1:33:44

auto bot. Your body transforms on you. And

1:33:46

this nigga is like, man, I'll get rid

1:33:49

of my dog. I don't want to walk

1:33:51

on you. Do it. Best

1:35:01

folks, we're back. It is time for

1:35:03

the read. I was

1:35:05

thinking before we went to

1:35:08

break, there

1:35:10

should be a day, a

1:35:12

holiday. Nigga,

1:35:15

shut the fuck up. Like, I don't know what the

1:35:17

day should be called. Maybe shut the fuck up, nigga.

1:35:20

Maybe I should just take the nigga off a bit, because really, I

1:35:22

mean like all men. Man, shut

1:35:25

the fuck up. MSTF,

1:35:27

I don't know. I'm just branded. Yeah,

1:35:29

yeah, yeah. Not holiday, or men

1:35:32

just don't speak. Myself included. Oh,

1:35:34

all of y'all, just look around

1:35:36

everybody on mute. Yeah.

1:35:38

Cool. You

1:35:41

know, and you're niggas from all

1:35:44

walks, you know? Niggas

1:35:47

from all walks and all identities. Okay.

1:35:50

Well, and you know what? Because a couple

1:35:52

of studs, you might need a

1:35:55

shawl. I

1:35:57

was gonna say, are trans men included in this? I'm

1:35:59

trans men. Y'all might just

1:36:01

have to go in there and take the L with

1:36:03

your brothers. Don't guess. I

1:36:06

know you niggas. I mean, gay men don't

1:36:08

get left out. I don't think trans men

1:36:10

should be all y'all. Men.

1:36:16

One day, men black out.

1:36:20

So don't say nothing. Wow. Women

1:36:25

and friends are break. God damn it. Um,

1:36:28

okay. It's time for the read. Mine is really

1:36:31

silly and petty. You know, I just, what

1:36:33

is your risk? Oh

1:36:36

man. Well, there's

1:36:38

a few different, are you talking about the academic thing?

1:36:42

I'm not. Okay. So for those

1:36:44

of you who don't know, I have to

1:36:46

talk about anything in relation to him. Well,

1:36:51

I normally, I would not cause I fully

1:36:54

don't care about anything this man has going on.

1:36:56

I'm still waiting on him and Sassy's. I intended

1:36:58

to get into the ring. That's what I want to

1:37:00

see. I've wanted to see it probably

1:37:02

for like a year now. And I

1:37:04

would pay

1:37:06

money and a

1:37:09

lot of it to watch that happen. Um,

1:37:12

so academics that came out this

1:37:14

week that his ex-girlfriend filed a

1:37:17

lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct, rape, um,

1:37:20

against him. Um, the details

1:37:22

that she alleges are pretty

1:37:24

horrific. Uh, you know, being drugged, that

1:37:27

sort of thing. Um, and of

1:37:29

course, of course he's denying that any of

1:37:31

this happened. His first, the first thing I

1:37:33

saw him say was the police already said,

1:37:36

ain't no case. Like police

1:37:38

already said, like ain't no evidence blah, blah, blah.

1:37:40

Like she's doing it this way. Cause the only

1:37:42

way she can, to him, I mean,

1:37:44

these are not criminal charges. This is a lawsuit, but

1:37:47

he's saying, you know, the police are saying there's not

1:37:49

enough evidence to prosecute. That doesn't mean you didn't

1:37:51

do it, but okay. Um,

1:37:56

I, again, I would have ignored

1:37:59

almost all of this. until he said

1:38:01

this one sentence, let

1:38:03

me tell y'all this about everyone

1:38:05

in the industry. If AK ever

1:38:07

goes down, y'all going down with

1:38:09

me, because I hold no secrets

1:38:11

for nobody. Thank

1:38:14

you. Great. Yeah.

1:38:17

I don't know what the point that you

1:38:19

thought you were making. If

1:38:22

you go down, they going down with you? First

1:38:25

of all, wonderful. I

1:38:28

would love for all the rapists to

1:38:30

be gone. Secondly, what

1:38:33

kind of niggas are y'all? How

1:38:36

is it you've

1:38:38

been knowing about people

1:38:40

sexually assaulting us? Like you just

1:38:42

know hell of rapists. You

1:38:47

just know so many, and you just sleep

1:38:49

like that. You can

1:38:51

go to bed at night knowing that you know

1:38:53

these things about other people, and

1:38:55

you've just not been saying nothing because we build

1:39:01

different. We

1:39:03

build different. I can't imagine. I can't. And

1:39:05

I feel like it's only a certain

1:39:08

level of fame that I'm ever going to achieve because

1:39:10

some shit I won't be able to look past. If

1:39:14

you go down, you taking the

1:39:16

industry with you, please say more about

1:39:18

that. Don't even wait to go

1:39:20

down. Go ahead and say it now. If

1:39:23

you know about niggas being rapists, go ahead

1:39:25

and speak up. What

1:39:27

kind of folks do you think that

1:39:29

it is to be like, I know

1:39:31

that a lot of you are violent,

1:39:33

horrific criminals. But

1:39:36

I won't say anything unless I get

1:39:39

in trouble. Truly

1:39:43

can't stand. Not

1:39:45

surprised. That

1:39:48

was disgusting. Apparently he

1:39:50

has quite a few tweets that don't

1:39:52

help his gaze. Of course not. Of

1:39:55

course not. Right.

1:39:58

It's you as a person. that doesn't help

1:40:00

your case. It's just like,

1:40:02

who are we just saying? Oh, Drake. We were just saying

1:40:04

it's about Drake and the kitty stuff. It's like, it's

1:40:07

you and your behaviors that lead us to believe that

1:40:09

this is extremely possible. Yeah.

1:40:12

That was a conversation that had been already, had

1:40:15

already been taking place and for

1:40:17

multiple reasons, not any

1:40:19

one girl. Right.

1:40:21

So, yeah. So, I

1:40:23

mean, fuck academics. I don't really give

1:40:26

a shit what happens to him, but this whole,

1:40:28

I'll take everybody else down with me. Please say

1:40:30

something. I want you to. Please

1:40:33

do. Is this an empty threat or you dead

1:40:35

ass? Please let me know who

1:40:37

else we should not be listening to. Like, this is

1:40:39

just, it's not the threat you think

1:40:42

it is. Okay. Also,

1:40:44

the state of New York.

1:40:49

We have really been

1:40:52

our elected officials, you know,

1:40:54

New York kind of prides itself on

1:40:56

being so liberal and different

1:40:58

than most other states. And like, that's something

1:41:00

I hear a lot from the people here.

1:41:02

Like, Oh my God, I could never live

1:41:05

in the South where they're racist and misogynistic

1:41:07

and women don't have rights and all this.

1:41:09

Our very own leaders in the state of

1:41:11

New York be on some absolute bullshit all

1:41:13

the time. Like

1:41:16

all the time. Kathy Hochul. It's

1:41:21

funny that you say that about the South. Is

1:41:26

it? Do you think of a lot of times that

1:41:28

we living in New York would be like

1:41:30

on the road or something and we would go to like

1:41:33

do a show in the South and one of us

1:41:35

would be like, I forgot how many people are like

1:41:37

friendly. They speak, they

1:41:40

look you in your face and say

1:41:42

hi. Yeah. Like

1:41:44

obviously there's a lot of racist fuckery. Oh,

1:41:46

Lord. I think that that's kind of funny.

1:41:49

Yeah. It's the

1:41:52

kind of, so what

1:41:54

Kathy Hochul did, she was speaking

1:41:56

at this conference to,

1:42:00

to showcase Empire AI, the $400 million consortium she

1:42:04

is leading to create an AI computing center in

1:42:06

upstate New York and said, right now

1:42:08

we have, you know, young black kids growing up in the

1:42:10

Bronx who don't even know what the word computer

1:42:12

is. They don't know. They

1:42:15

don't know these things. Okay.

1:42:21

Because they're seven

1:42:23

months old. Bitch.

1:42:31

Even black kids

1:42:33

in the big scary Bronx

1:42:35

know what the goddamn word computer

1:42:38

is. It's not 1974. The

1:42:42

children know what a computer is. Are you talking about the

1:42:44

fact that most of them don't have one in the home?

1:42:46

Cause then we can talk about the structural and systemic

1:42:49

inequalities that lead to that. But that's not

1:42:51

what you're saying. You don't wanna, yeah. You

1:42:54

just say, oh, the kids don't know how to

1:42:56

use a computer or they don't know how to create

1:42:59

and save a document to a computer.

1:43:01

Like they all they know how to work with is

1:43:03

the cloud or they're so used to these phones. Like

1:43:05

you didn't, you as

1:43:07

again, the governor of the state of New

1:43:09

York said that black kids

1:43:12

in the Bronx don't even know what the

1:43:14

word computer is. Like you say computer in

1:43:16

the Bronx and niggas just be like, who

1:43:18

is this person? How did

1:43:21

they get here? She just, did she teleport? Is

1:43:23

this, is it time travel? How did you, how

1:43:26

did you just appear in the

1:43:28

Bronx and start speaking this brand new language

1:43:30

that said no one has ever heard a

1:43:32

computer? How does, what is

1:43:34

this thing? How does it function?

1:43:37

Like girl, come, come,

1:43:40

say it again, sound it out for me. I never heard

1:43:42

this word. Multipath. And

1:43:44

what is its function? What does it do? Multipath.

1:43:49

That was bad enough. That

1:43:52

was bad enough. Like why

1:43:54

do y'all just be talking? Like what is

1:43:56

it? They do, they just be talking because

1:43:59

our influencer has mayor Eric Adams

1:44:01

who oh god did

1:44:03

you hear about this one I don't

1:44:06

know baby

1:44:08

like a few

1:44:11

days later here

1:44:14

go Eric Adams he

1:44:17

was at a briefing on Tuesday and he

1:44:20

was asked about whether lifeguard staffing at the

1:44:22

city's pools and beaches would be an issue

1:44:24

Memorial Day is approaching that's when the

1:44:27

beaches and pools open in the

1:44:29

city and he said

1:44:31

how do we have a large body of

1:44:33

people that are in our city and country that

1:44:36

are excellent swimmers and at the same time we

1:44:38

need lifeguards and the only obstacle is that we

1:44:40

won't give them the right to work to become

1:44:42

a lifeguard oh my

1:44:45

god this nigga said we can use

1:44:47

immigrants as

1:44:49

a solution to the lifeguard

1:44:51

shortage because immigrants

1:44:54

are excellent swimmers quote

1:44:57

so we have all these elder people waiting to

1:44:59

work with this nigga

1:45:07

said we need

1:45:11

lifeguards I know what to do talk

1:45:20

about reinforcing some hideous stereotypes

1:45:23

and again we're talking this is the

1:45:25

elected mayor of New York City one

1:45:28

of if not the most diverse cities

1:45:30

in the entire fucking country oh I

1:45:33

mean absolutely

1:45:35

soft with immigrants

1:45:38

from all backgrounds talking

1:45:40

about oh we need lifeguards you know Mexicans

1:45:42

swim real good that ain't no problem round

1:45:45

them up fast track them real

1:45:47

quick test it for way give

1:45:49

them niggas a permit they got it you know now

1:45:52

you know immigrants could swim bitch

1:45:54

are you serious this

1:45:58

is how you feel about your own constituent.

1:46:03

Eric Adams puts his foot in his mouth

1:46:05

every week. Every

1:46:08

week. It's just it's constantly something with

1:46:10

him. And between Eric

1:46:12

Adams and Kathy Hochul, I will

1:46:16

never again tell like

1:46:19

the benefits of living. I mean, yes,

1:46:22

I prefer living in like a blue

1:46:24

technically city in a blue technically

1:46:26

state. But let's not act like

1:46:28

these people are somehow superior in

1:46:31

any meaningful way to the elected representatives

1:46:33

in other states, because this is the

1:46:35

type of shit y'all are saying in

1:46:38

the supposed best city in the country, supposedly

1:46:42

the most liberal and progressive state in

1:46:44

the whole country, that

1:46:46

black kids don't know the word computer and immigrants

1:46:48

should be lifeguards as they swim good. If this

1:46:52

is the best, this is the most

1:46:54

liberal that America has to offer, then

1:46:56

I've outpaced this country. And

1:47:00

now I'm just waiting on y'all to catch up. These are not

1:47:02

things that I think anybody should be saying,

1:47:05

much less the people who ran

1:47:07

for office and were elected

1:47:09

like you, your whole

1:47:12

your responsibility here is to represent

1:47:15

the people. And this is how

1:47:17

you talk about the marginalized people

1:47:19

that you're supposed to be serving. This is how

1:47:21

you talk about it. No,

1:47:25

no, I'm sorry. It's getting kind of hard

1:47:27

to justify the cost of living here. It's

1:47:30

getting a little bit hard. When

1:47:33

the mayor is so goddamn mixy.

1:47:35

Maybe you weren't thinking clearly because you just

1:47:49

Bong or

1:47:51
