1:50

1:52

you for coming back to our Western

1:54

themed episode of the show. It

1:57

should be. It really fucking should.

2:00

to be, but okay, racism. Uh,

2:05

yeah, welcome back. Well,

2:09

it is an evening for

2:11

us. Well, a night, uh,

2:13

because things, but here we

2:15

are to do our

2:18

little episode of the

2:21

week. How was your day? How are

2:23

you feeling? Um, it was a terrible day.

2:25

It's been a pretty bad week.

2:27

So I'm not feeling

2:29

great, but, um, you

2:32

know, still showing up and getting things done anyway,

2:34

but it's been a very stressful time lately and

2:36

I wish it would just ease

2:38

up a little bit. It

2:41

will. I hope so. What about you? How

2:43

are you feeling? Same.

2:45

Okay. Love that

2:47

for us. Same. I slept

2:49

like shit as I, as you know, why

2:53

things again,

2:56

I appreciate your

2:58

flexibility, um, in

3:01

real life, like physically and, um, but

3:03

yeah, whatever feelings are all

3:10

over this place and they're a hot mess. But then

3:12

every now and then there's like a pocket is empty

3:15

minutes. Like I enjoyed that for three seconds. So why

3:18

that, I guess that can be today.

3:21

Okay. Uh, what was it for me

3:23

today? Uh,

3:30

you know, it doesn't have to be every day. It's fine. Well,

3:34

I mean, maybe there's something about link

3:36

or I don't know. I'm grasping at

3:38

straws. She has

3:40

been on my

3:42

damn nerve.

3:46

No, not the doll. She

3:49

has just been, I don't know

3:51

what she requires, but I'll figure it out. I feel like

3:53

it's because I haven't bought her anything in a while. I

3:58

don't know what she said. You're really flipping. all

4:00

your responsibilities here. Her attitude

4:02

sucks. Yeah, she needs

4:05

a present. That sounds about right. Okay,

4:08

so let's do some Black excellence, talk

4:10

about people doing great things, being great

4:12

things, people.

4:16

And I'm going to

4:18

shout out

4:22

one Courtney Hall, who has

4:24

opened Bump Baby Bliss. It

4:26

is the first Black owned

4:28

ultrasound studio in downtown Greensboro,

4:30

North Carolina. Oh, wow. Oh,

4:33

I love that idea. Courtney has

4:36

a background as both a therapist

4:38

and a doula. The

4:41

studio's grand... I just

4:43

had an idea for an anime. I got it right. I'll

4:46

remember. The studio's grand

4:48

opening was on February

4:50

1st. Okay. Okay. So very recently,

4:53

she opened it to ensure pregnant women

4:55

get the proper care that they need.

4:57

Don't get me. I won't

4:59

get started. The center provides doula support.

5:02

We know. We know. Doula

5:05

support and everybody's super pregnant right

5:07

now. So I'm like, ready

5:10

to fight. Oh, yes. Alex posted her

5:12

maternity pictures today on Instagram. So it's

5:14

not a secret anymore. Everyone.

5:18

Okay. The center provides doula support,

5:20

2D, 3D, 4D ultrasounds. Damn.

5:24

Right? You basically just text the baby.

5:27

What the hell is 4D? Apple Vision

5:29

Pro. What are you... That nigga

5:31

in there say Simon. Early

5:34

DNA, gender testing, childbirth classes, mentorship,

5:36

and more. So I

5:39

thought this was awesome. And yes, those

5:41

of you who maybe have listened to

5:43

two and a half episodes of this

5:45

podcast know that I'm very sensitive about

5:47

people who carry human beings and what

5:50

they are, what they go

5:52

through naturally and then on a

5:56

political level. So

6:01

shout out to Courtney Hall and Bump

6:04

Baby Bliss. They are in North Carolina,

6:06

downtown Greensboro. So if

6:08

you're pregnant and you are, consider.

6:11

Because all y'all are. Also

6:16

shout out to 49 year old Terry Killens,

6:18

who's made here history, is the first person

6:21

in the NFL to both have played in

6:23

the Super Bowl and officiate

6:25

one. He's played with the Tennessee

6:27

Titans 24 years ago and

6:29

was an acting referee over Super Bowl Louis

6:32

Vuitton III. Okay. So

6:37

shout out to Representation,

6:39

shout out to Evolution

6:41

and to all

6:43

the firsts we still have to deal

6:45

with, but we celebrate anyway. Yeah. How

6:48

did you feel about the Super Bowl? As a sport

6:50

animal? So many feelings. Yeah. Many

6:52

feelings, strong

6:55

game and many active,

6:58

also running as

7:01

well as goal. Love that.

7:04

So, you know, but that's not, we're not

7:06

doing sports sports. We're doing

7:08

a pop culture segment that

7:11

we call hot tops the

7:13

zone of interest. Okay, fine.

7:16

Love that. Do you

7:18

want to end with Beyonce

7:21

being your best friend or do you want

7:23

to start? Right.

7:27

Like, I will say it

7:29

has been a challenging week, but this

7:32

bitch speaking directly to me

7:35

was a huge bright spot. Like it

7:37

just, I knew something

7:39

was going on when Verizon was

7:41

teasing the commercials with Tony Hale making

7:44

lemonade and talking to Renee and all

7:46

that. So I knew something just didn't

7:48

know what. Then of course we

7:50

see the commercial during Super Bowl Sunday.

7:52

It's incredible. We ain't heard this bitch

7:55

talk this much at one time since.

7:57

Sweetie. She does. not

8:00

speak like this. I

8:04

love that commercial. It was so cute. It

8:06

was so cute. It was so good.

8:08

A little switch persona was so. Oh,

8:11

I say that immediately. Yes,

8:14

and I got vibes from you when she was

8:16

doing like her game or thing, but so

8:19

they go through all these different scenarios and she still ain't broke the

8:21

internet and she was like, you know what? Let's just do what

8:23

I do and drop the fucking music and that

8:25

is when I literally scream. I

8:31

wasn't ready. I knew it was coming. I'm going

8:33

to tell you this might be. I didn't see

8:35

music. I didn't see music coming.

8:37

Not new music. I sure did not. Let me

8:39

tell you something. When that

8:43

absolute witch walked

8:45

her ass post

8:49

red carpet to the Grammys dressed

8:51

like sandy cheeks. I want to

8:53

wake up in Texas. I'm

8:57

in South. Why? I'm in

9:00

the country all the time.

9:02

So I didn't really think

9:04

too much. It just felt

9:06

so intentional something about it

9:08

that fucking Louis

9:10

Vuitton menswear, I think fall

9:12

24, whatever that like Louis

9:15

Vuitton black and silver

9:17

and blazin situation with that hat

9:20

and that bolo time. I

9:22

was like, we have been

9:24

talking about a possible act to it

9:29

being another genre of music. These rumors

9:31

have been around. Yeah, but you know,

9:35

Beyonce rumors as far as what she's going

9:37

to do next. I'm not saying

9:39

none of that. No mind because the thing about

9:41

it is all of these rumors could

9:43

be correct. That's the type of bitch we working with

9:45

the fact that the song came out. Miss Tina was

9:48

like, well, I've been listening to it for a decade.

9:50

So glad y'all finally get to hear it. It's

9:52

like, of course, there's a bunch

9:54

of different conspiracies about what Beyonce might be

9:56

doing because anything is truly possible with this

9:58

bitch. So

10:00

yes, I heard when Renaissance

10:03

was coming out, Act 2 was a country album, and immediately

10:05

I said, I'm not getting my hopes up. You niggas not

10:07

finna play with me. I wait

10:09

till Beyonce tells me what she's gone do. But

10:13

for this bitch, an immediately open

10:15

title didn't see it. It took maybe

10:17

20 minutes or so, maybe 15, for

10:19

the songs to actually load up onto

10:21

title. And for

10:24

my greatest dreams,

10:26

hopes, wishes, desires to be confirmed

10:29

like that, for this

10:31

bitch to fully step into her country pussy

10:33

and give me

10:35

real country music. I

10:39

had just been listening to the Daddy

10:41

Lessons version with the chicks. I had

10:43

just been listening to it, because it's

10:45

so fucking good. And it's different enough from

10:47

the original that I had them both on

10:50

a so-called playlist. The

10:52

point being, I have

10:54

been wanting, like y'all

10:56

know this is my cousin. We grew up

10:58

going to the rodeos, seeing black cowboys, doing

11:00

black cowboy shit. Like, this is my culture.

11:02

This is my heritage. Like, this is literally

11:04

my people. For this bitch to be doing it. Oh my

11:06

God, for this bitch to be doing a country album. It

11:09

was only about her. I

11:14

can't take it. I'm

11:16

so happy. I'm so pleased. Of

11:19

course, I bought both songs immediately.

11:22

And I have not listened to shit else. I

11:25

now have a country Beyonce playlist with

11:28

four songs on it, but still. And

11:33

March 29th, that's all I know. March 29th is when

11:35

I get to hear the rest of this. And

11:38

I'm so excited. Like, my bitch is really finally

11:40

doing it. She is really giving it to

11:42

us. You

11:44

hoes that hated all day less is

11:47

all you hoes. Eat

11:49

your goddamn words. Munch, munch,

11:51

crunch, crunch you bitches. She

11:53

had to do it to him. I'm

11:59

telling you. to

12:01

that motherfucking Grammys. Like

12:07

she literally pulled up to

12:09

the valet on a Bronco, like

12:12

on a Buffalo, not

12:14

even a horse. Like she

12:17

looked, yeah, a bison, there you

12:19

go. It just felt, I don't

12:22

know, Chris, I promise you,

12:24

I felt like she was gonna drop something that

12:26

night. I don't know why, I just did.

12:29

And ever since then, my

12:32

spirit has just been like, uh-oh,

12:36

what's she on there doing? What's

12:40

she on there doing? Yeah, I

12:42

get that. I hate like, do it

12:44

sometimes. Gags supremely,

12:46

because I felt very

12:50

connected to that outfit. Also,

12:52

I wanted. So cute.

12:55

Why? She looks so good,

12:58

baby, this big ass hair. After

13:00

the commercial, and then finally she

13:02

decides to. Oh! And

13:07

that hair, oh my God!

13:09

That big ass

13:11

country diva hair.

13:15

Someone said, I wonder if Jay-Z can fight. And I

13:17

was like, that's a fair question. I

13:19

mean, what you gonna do after the fight? Because look

13:22

at her. What you gonna do after that though? You're

13:24

gonna still be poor and not marriage to be our

13:26

face. But like. Not

13:31

only can Jay-Z fight, Julius can fight. Like don't

13:33

even. All of them. Don't

13:35

play with yourself. You're getting jumped. She's

13:37

in it, she's in it. Like

13:40

we're. I'm excited. We're going to Texas

13:42

Bama. We're going to Texas Bama.

13:45

Shut up, Brody. You know something, I was

13:47

already listening to like, I

13:49

was listening to Britney Spencer's album,

13:51

Another Black Country Girl. And

13:54

that dropped, I

13:56

think it just came out not too long ago. And

13:59

it's so, so, so. so good. So I

14:01

was already in a black girl country

14:03

mood, Tanner Adele or Adele. I already

14:08

have like some country

14:10

black girls in

14:12

my playlist quite recently, anyhow.

14:15

And then Beyonce said, yes, because that.

14:18

So here I am. And

14:20

we're doing this. And so

14:22

I'm really excited for like all

14:25

the typical Beyonce things, obviously as

14:28

like someone who was born in

14:30

Miami and writes

14:32

by Jamaicans. I don't have a

14:35

choice of a, I

14:37

don't have as close of a connection

14:39

with country music and culture as you

14:41

do. I just know music

14:43

that sounds good. So I have plenty

14:46

country songs and artists I

14:48

like. You know what

14:51

I mean? But the connectivity and

14:53

closeness and intimacy of it, this

14:55

is why representation is important. Yeah.

14:58

Well, I mean, and this was our shit

15:00

anyway, the fact that white people get to

15:02

dominate exactly the genre is

15:05

wrong anyway. So, so

15:08

it felt so good. It felt so good. And

15:10

I actually found out about a resource I had

15:13

not heard of before called the

15:15

black Opry where they literally highlight

15:17

black people in country music. Like they

15:20

have this whole website and just

15:22

all these different ways that you can discover other black

15:24

country artists, this sort of thing. And I think they

15:26

have probably been seeing a lot more traffic over the

15:29

past few days because all of a sudden niggas are

15:31

interested. But I,

15:33

so I'm, I'm

15:36

glad to welcome all

15:39

of you to your very temporary country areas.

15:41

I'm not going to be extra. I promise.

15:44

Mom, the gays have asked

15:47

me what you're wearing, what you're wearing. And I'm like,

15:49

I'm, I'm, I'm not doing the most. I

15:51

am not a true country girl. I am

15:53

a queen. I am a Bush

15:55

queen. is

16:01

comfortable with fem. What is that? Yeah,

16:04

why not? Isn't that bitch queen? I'm

16:06

whatever I am, right? That was

16:08

what bitch queen was. So showing

16:10

my ass in Chrome and

16:13

clacking a fan around, that's

16:15

me. Right. Those are my

16:17

things. That's your

16:19

home. I forgot it, girl. Hey.

16:22

Don't do that. I'm

16:26

not going to come like doing the

16:28

extras, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

16:32

Yeah. Right. You

16:34

know, we get another live

16:36

thing. The girls are already talking about ass

16:38

and stuff. I don't think

16:40

that's happening. I don't think

16:43

it is either. I really don't. I'm

16:46

going to be frank with you. There's no

16:48

way. That sounds intense. It sounds like

16:50

hell. It sounds like hell.

16:54

New Orleans, the

16:56

city takes a deep

16:58

breath about two weeks prior

17:01

to ass and stuff. Oh

17:05

my goodness, what they put those people through. And

17:10

I know when we went a few

17:12

years ago, people were saying how

17:15

Girl Strip had a huge impact on

17:17

people coming

17:20

into the city

17:22

for it. But they've also pretty

17:24

consistently booked great acts.

17:27

And they have

17:30

more recently tried

17:32

to de-antify the

17:34

festival. Yes,

17:37

they have. But that's been over the

17:39

past several years that they've switched away

17:41

from. Yeah, I'm saying recently, very recently.

17:43

They've started being like, I'll

17:45

book a Nicki Minaj. We'll book

17:48

like a Victoria Monet. We'll book

17:51

folks for like some younger girls. People

17:54

from all ages will come, want to come. And

17:56

so I'm just

17:58

like. New Orleans

18:01

just naturally feels tight.

18:07

It is. It is. And it's, it

18:10

messed, you should have smacked that in the

18:12

middle of the summer. I'm the traffic, the

18:14

peep. It's good. Like it's already too much

18:16

on New Orleans. Add Beyonce to the bitch.

18:18

No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I

18:22

don't think Miami, I bet

18:24

in down the hatches Memorial D weekend. Let me tell

18:27

you something. I need to live near the beach. Yeah.

18:30

Yeah. Right. So

18:32

the thing about essence vessels that

18:34

Beyonce could be somewhere else

18:37

on her own, like

18:40

doing a stadium, making a whole fuck ton

18:42

of money. Like there's just, I'm

18:45

thinking about logistically as a ticket

18:47

holder. There's probably, if Beyonce

18:49

was going, there would have to be

18:51

probably a totally separate ticket that

18:54

includes admission to Beyonce because normally

18:56

it's like, you know, tears or whatever,

18:58

and you get to go to certain shows,

19:00

but whatever tier Beyonce is on

19:02

is going sell out and it's going to

19:04

be held to get into something. And

19:07

if she did do essence vest, it would probably have to be

19:09

like an add on. Like if you want to go to

19:11

Beyonce, that's a totally separate ticket from

19:13

the rest of essence vest, which kind of defeats the

19:15

purpose, but I just don't,

19:17

I don't know. I don't see it. And I think

19:19

maybe that's just cause it doesn't vibe with my

19:21

vision for whatever decision, which is

19:24

the music comes out this spring

19:26

and maybe we get something

19:29

this summer, but I just can't,

19:32

I don't know. It's hard for me to

19:34

imagine her doing a whole nother world tour,

19:37

a whole big ass tour. It

19:41

just don't seem right. It don't. It

19:43

seems, it seems, especially

19:45

because like country music

19:48

isn't as like globally

19:52

impactful as house

19:54

dance, electronic. Like people

19:57

love the sounds that.

20:00

a reverberate all over Renaissance

20:02

globally. Yeah, it's like

20:04

there are people. A little more than others. Yeah,

20:06

it's a little bit more than you

20:09

can hit loads of other places outside

20:11

of North America with

20:13

country, but I would say like it probably

20:16

wouldn't even hit the same as Renaissance.

20:18

And but even if it did, like

20:20

you're saying, I'm thinking, I

20:24

have a hard time seeing her just being

20:26

like, pack the things up, girl. I

20:29

feel the band. Right. Let's do

20:31

it again. Right. Right. Right. Right. It

20:34

just seems like, I don't know, but

20:37

we'll see. She loves to work. Yeah,

20:39

she does. She loves her job, and

20:42

she loves working. And

20:44

I wouldn't, I imagine that she

20:48

has like the resources and access

20:50

to kind of fashion her working

20:53

life and her

20:55

personal life in a

20:57

way that there's

20:59

time for. I couldn't imagine. Beyonce has

21:01

the same 24 hours as the rest

21:04

of us. It should be

21:06

a class. It should be like a college course.

21:08

But yeah, I'm just, I'm

21:12

excited for you. I'm excited. I'm excited

21:15

for me too. To

21:17

see, because when I think

21:19

about it, I'm like, this is probably going to

21:21

be one

21:24

of her most personal albums. Yes. Just

21:27

because she does put

21:31

personal stuff into

21:34

her work and has been quite

21:36

transparent with a lot of her

21:38

personal things and feelings and emotions

21:40

for the past couple of albums.

21:43

And still finds ways to have a

21:45

sing those lyrics and be like, me,

21:47

I'm bored, but I get it. You

21:50

know what I mean? Like,

21:53

but being a country

21:55

girl, being a Texas

21:58

girl through and through. that

22:01

is going to take

22:04

all of that same energy and

22:07

creative output and put it

22:09

into something that's so you

22:12

I have to

22:15

imagine this is gonna be like really

22:19

like a hallmark for her. It

22:22

has to be right? So I'm really

22:24

excited about that and how she's going

22:26

to like visually bring anything

22:28

together whether it's one performance,

22:31

a couple of performances, a music

22:35

video, a TikTok.

22:37

I'm curious to see

22:39

how she's going to handle the

22:41

treatment of Beyonce

22:45

country albums. I'm so excited

22:47

to see. I feel like I'm

22:49

gonna learn. I'm excited to

22:51

like enjoy, right? Yeah, yeah.

22:54

I mean even if you so

22:56

the thing about country music is that it normally

22:58

does do

23:00

I think a better job of a

23:03

lot of other genres especially

23:06

pop and allowing

23:08

the artist to really express like

23:11

deep feelings. A lot of hurt, a lot

23:13

of pain, a lot of anger, a lot

23:15

of desires to like murder or kidnap or

23:17

steal like people

23:20

really be putting their feelings in country music a

23:22

lot. A lot of you know I want

23:25

my girlfriend back whatever. Right. And

23:27

you can see that especially in 16

23:30

Carriages I think. No, I know.

23:32

I drove my keys into the side of it.

23:35

Well I mean a classic but to

23:37

your point. I'm

23:40

sorry go ahead. Carrie Underwood is

23:43

really that girl but yeah

23:46

I think I think we're already seeing that in 16

23:49

Carriages and Sex and Hold'em to a

23:51

certain extent but you know it's sort of Sex

23:54

and Hold'em is really the more

23:56

fun kind of like traditional country.

23:58

It's really it's like a lot a dance,

24:00

a vibey one.

24:03

But then also I get like a... She

24:06

gave you a country good ballad. 16 Carriages is that

24:08

girl. It is beautiful. She is that girl. I'm

24:10

so excited to hear the rest

24:13

of it, but 16 Carriages is

24:15

giving me hypothetical live concert.

24:18

It's giving me end of the

24:20

show ballad, like little

24:22

bits of personal iPhone, MacBook

24:25

footage up on the big

24:27

screen, like roomy,

24:30

nose trigonometry now, surprise.

24:33

That's what 16 Carriages gives me.

24:37

16 Carriages is that girl. Technical dude

24:39

makes me want to do-si-do or whatever.

24:43

16 Carriages, I mean

24:45

they're already doing it. Oh

24:50

yeah, I saw on TikTok that niggas, y'all are coming

24:53

up. And

24:56

I'm not mad honestly. I

24:59

want y'all to lean in and have fun with

25:01

this. I'm just glad more of you are open

25:03

to it now because when Daddy Lessons came out,

25:05

the way you talked about my bitch. I

25:07

loved Daddy Lessons. Not you specifically,

25:09

but niggas. The way y'all was

25:11

so mad at her for that, that really

25:13

hit me. That was my phone. And

25:16

they were still so mad. And it was a good one. Damn

25:18

good. She was at the fucking- I really didn't know the life of

25:20

that song. It don't make no sense to me. But

25:25

anyway, y'all are eating

25:27

your words. You're coming now to sit

25:29

and partake in whatever mother has to

25:32

give. And so, you know,

25:34

I welcome that. I want y'all to come have

25:36

a good time. I'm just so like personally

25:38

excited for me and other country

25:40

niggas who never had to be convinced,

25:43

who never had to be like cajoled

25:45

into this, who literally grew up watching

25:48

country, listening to country, being country, because we

25:50

just are that. You

25:52

could be from the biggest city in Oklahoma. You still from

25:55

Oklahoma. And

25:57

I'm not even from the biggest city. Like

26:01

any city in Oklahoma compared to New York is

26:03

a suburb. So. And especially

26:05

because as you said, like

26:08

house, that's our shit. Yeah.

26:11

Like it shouldn't even be a disconnect

26:13

there because it's so naturally us. I

26:15

say it about house like

26:18

a few times throughout life to

26:22

black friends of mine. Like I hate

26:24

house music. I hate dance music. I'm

26:26

like fair because you attribute

26:29

house music to the water down mainstream thing that

26:31

it is now. The water down

26:33

white mainstream thing that it is now. I

26:36

can name no less than four to

26:38

five house records that

26:40

you not only will recognize,

26:43

but you will jam to when

26:45

you hear it. And the difference

26:48

usually will be that those are

26:50

records that were produced by

26:53

us for us in

26:56

its authenticity at its core.

26:59

It's the same thing with country

27:01

music. So you feel it. So

27:03

you feel it. Yes. It's

27:06

what it is. You know what I

27:08

mean? And so that's what I especially

27:10

love about country. That's why I wouldn't

27:13

be surprised if there's a third act

27:15

that's rock music or even rap to

27:17

be honest. But as

27:19

far as country goes, I'm

27:21

just like, I cannot wait to see her vision

27:26

for something so personal to her. Also,

27:29

the mission now for me is

27:31

going to be how to filter

27:33

out the world so that

27:35

y'all don't piss me off and interrupt my

27:37

vibes during this act. It's already begun. I

27:39

feel like I'm probably just gonna have to

27:42

do my best to just stay out of

27:44

it and let you hardworking stand up folks

27:46

on social media and on TV or wherever

27:48

else, read the people who need to be

27:51

read. Because I just wanna enjoy my bitch.

27:53

You know what I mean? I know that

27:55

she understands, it

27:58

is intentional. She's not just. now

28:00

making the country album after making a

28:02

house record. Like because, why

28:04

not? You know what I mean? She's

28:07

not doing it right as New

28:09

York City native or well New York

28:11

native Lana Del Rey is making a

28:13

country record. They talking about Taylor to

28:15

dip it back into her country roots,

28:18

you know what I'm saying? And nobody

28:20

challenges, there's even rumors that

28:22

they have a duet together. Taylor's country

28:24

roots leave me alone. Taylor

28:28

from Ohio or whatever, right? And

28:31

nobody is going to challenge them

28:33

as country artists. Yeah,

28:35

that's crazy. I'm sorry, Taylor Swift is not.

28:37

Taylor Swift is like, no.

28:39

And somebody at my Super Bowl party asked me did I

28:41

think Beyonce would do a song

28:44

with Taylor Swift on this album? That

28:46

is so deeply offensive. If

28:49

Beyonce was going to duet with

28:52

a white woman, it would be

28:54

an icon like Dolly Parton or

28:56

Reba McIntyre. It's not

28:58

going to be on a country album. It's not

29:00

going to be Taylor Swift. I am so

29:03

sorry, I absolutely refuse to believe it. Listen,

29:07

I'm not. Ain't no way. I'm sorry. It's

29:09

not going to happen. I'm not ruling anything

29:11

out. I'm really not ruling anything out. No,

29:13

she won't. No, no, no, no, no. I'm

29:15

really not ruling anything out. That's what's going

29:18

to happen. My thing is I can't hear

29:20

it is the thing. Yeah, because

29:22

Taylor Swift doesn't do country and nothing about her

29:24

even sounds country. She's made what people

29:26

could consider country music. That's what the fuck

29:28

she rode the wave off to into

29:31

the basement of BMA. Yeah, no, I know people call it

29:33

that. I know people call

29:35

it that. She ain't made nothing that sounds country.

29:37

What Beyonce just put out. No, it ain't

29:39

going to happen. I'm on your side. It is nothing

29:41

to happen. I'm so sorry. It's not. I just, my

29:44

for you. She ain't no Reba. I

29:47

want like, let's, if we're going to do

29:49

it, if we're going to have

29:51

the, you know. Ain't no way. I'm sorry. I just

29:53

refuse. There's

29:56

so many iconic white country women if she's

29:58

going to do it. Yes. There are

30:00

so many. There are so many.

30:02

Anyway, but again. Actual country music.

30:04

Okay, anyway, so um... I

30:08

just don't want y'all to piss me off and I know y'all are going

30:10

to. Oh yeah, my radio

30:12

stations are acting up. To enjoy.

30:15

Girl, they cleared Oklahoma. I'm not

30:17

like, no shame. The girlies went

30:19

from we don't play Beyonce because

30:21

we're a country music station, to

30:23

Beyonce, Texas Hold'em coming up

30:26

in the next few minutes.

30:28

You're on K-Y-N-M-L-M-N-O-P. Yeah. All

30:31

right. Yeah. It's giving that. Yeah. It's giving

30:33

that. Yeah, and I'm not

30:35

surprised. Because the white girl... I'm not surprised, yeah,

30:37

but like... The

30:40

white girlies are like, we

30:42

can sure... Like the white girlies

30:44

haven't been living. They haven't been

30:46

living. They're for real. Did you see that video, Sarah

30:48

Paulson? I

30:51

don't know. I don't know if I could call it

30:53

dancing, but she was extremely excited. They

30:56

are. Yes, the white girls are.

30:58

They do a hair tutorial. They get permitted into

31:00

the club. This is the same time. Oh yeah,

31:02

yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. For sure. They're so thrilled

31:05

and fine. But you

31:07

know how to ask when you get listened. But

31:09

I think we are saying... When you walk into this motherfucking

31:11

front door, and you go over there

31:13

and you make yourself a drink, you understand how

31:16

serious that is. Yes,

31:19

literally that. I think all

31:21

of the white people who are

31:24

so excited about this have to

31:26

understand that you're about to get

31:28

country in a way that

31:30

is far more inclusive and acknowledging

31:32

of the true originators of the genre

31:34

than you have likely ever experienced before.

31:37

You ain't never seen country this black

31:39

before in your life. But

31:42

I feel like the Beyonce fans who are excited for

31:44

this, the white ones, they know that. I

31:47

feel like they have to. I think so too. I mean, I think so

31:49

too. I pray. But the non-Biancé

31:51

fans hearing her actually do country, it's pissing

31:53

them off. And it's going to stir up

31:56

something deep inside of them that they need

31:58

to really sit and reckon. with

32:00

like why you don't consider this

32:02

woman to be doing country music. Sandy

32:05

Sheeves literally made a hit

32:07

record about being homesick.

32:09

She did. And

32:12

there's so much passion in emotion

32:16

and country. Bro, I'm excited. I

32:19

can't wait to hear what you're going to do with

32:21

this. I can't wait to hear what

32:23

you're going to do with it. When

32:27

some songs came out, I was just waiting for everybody to

32:30

leave my house. Like no shade. I love

32:32

everybody who was at my house. But I was

32:34

waiting for y'all to go because I not just

32:37

needed to sit with the music and I've

32:39

had that chance to do that. So yeah,

32:42

I just cannot say enough how

32:44

much I am anticipating whatever it is she's about to

32:46

put out. I mean, how long is it? I really

32:48

do. Like I can't tell,

32:50

like even just talking about this has

32:53

lifted my mood because... And the looks.

32:55

I just... Oh, she has been killing

32:57

the... The look in the commercial alone!

33:00

Three days. Oh, and

33:02

she keeps putting out new outfits for single

33:04

art for both of the songs. It's

33:06

gorgeous. She posted a photo today. It

33:08

looked like maybe... I don't know if

33:10

it was from the Super Bowl. That

33:13

big country hair was on. Oh yeah.

33:16

Well, it made a difference. I don't know.

33:18

She just posted like a Valentine's Day reel. So

33:20

it might just be from... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I

33:22

think there were pictures. No, no,

33:24

no. She had something else in that picture. She

33:27

had on like that sheer thing. Oh yeah,

33:29

yeah. Yeah, not that one. That's what I'm

33:31

saying. They're a bit like... It has been

33:34

a few days and she has been

33:36

stepping out with that shit on and

33:38

I literally posted a comment on her...

33:40

One of her post today. I was

33:42

like, why don't you just stomp on

33:45

the very front of my neck

33:47

and finish me and then and

33:49

then. Yeah. How

33:51

dare you? And then she pulled up. The

33:54

whole family was in formation for... What's

33:56

his name? He was just walking the runway. Jules.

34:00

Oh my god, I can't believe how grown he

34:02

is. But yeah, they were

34:04

all there at that session. I remember

34:06

him wanting to leave the set of

34:09

Tyra. Of Oprah? Tyra. That

34:11

was Tyra. He might have been on Oprah too. But you

34:13

don't remember when he was on Tyra? Was

34:16

that when he was like rolling his eyes and crossing

34:18

his arms? Yeah, I think when like... Yeah. It

34:20

was like one of the highlights of my life.

34:23

I'm almost 100% sure it was. I

34:25

mean, I remember when he was in the damn

34:27

soldier video, when the

34:29

launch was like nine and a half months

34:31

pregnant and then a bus. That was just...

34:34

Yeah. Oh man. So to see him

34:37

being all grown and everybody

34:39

there, y'all had all them cameras and

34:41

lights in her face. Miss Tina was

34:43

pissed. Girl, that was

34:45

so funny. She was irate.

34:49

Did you see the video the other day of

34:53

my girl Kavya performing the song

34:55

she wrote? Oh,

34:57

yes, I did. Those lyrics were kind of

34:59

chaotic, but wow, what an artist. I've

35:02

never felt so seen

35:04

and so heard. And

35:08

I just... I really appreciate her

35:12

art. The one where she had her parents,

35:14

she dressed her parents in them outfits. She

35:16

had Gabby in them socks and them heels.

35:18

She's just so great. I

35:22

really... I'm inspired

35:24

by her creativity

35:26

and self confidence.

35:28

Yeah, that little girl looks like she

35:30

is growing up in a very happy home and

35:32

I love her. I can't handle... It takes so

35:34

fast. All of them, all of them, all of

35:36

them. It's just, I can't

35:38

keep up. Anyway. Yeah.

35:40

So Beyonce, thank you, girl. You don't even

35:42

know how much I needed that. You

35:45

don't even know. Thank you. Thank you. Hey,

meme was like how dare this bitch Disrupt

41:25

and entire that we are scrambling.

41:27

Yeah, remember who playing? Yeah, he's

41:29

up there sitting on her water

41:31

like The

41:33

nerve the nerve so

41:35

they were saying yeah, she like proposed that Yeah,

41:40

that's all right, that's fine The

41:42

commercial was after the halftime show. Anyway, it's

41:44

fine. We were all we all loved us. You

41:46

did great, etc Love that love that.

41:49

No, we're not gonna do it my man like that. No He

41:52

did he did I Truly truly

41:54

loved us your halftime show. I

41:57

really did get my life. I

41:59

just wasn't thinking, oh, Beyonce sold a

42:01

spotlight for him or anything else. Because to

42:03

me, that's two totally. Yeah, no,

42:05

that's just two totally different things. So

42:08

I did. I

42:10

was hoping that she would come do love in

42:12

this club remix, but considering he

42:14

had to do like 30 seconds of each song because

42:16

he shoved like girl songs

42:18

in that some songs were two

42:20

bars. Yeah. I was like, that

42:23

was one of the things that I thought

42:25

of for sure about halfway into the way

42:28

that was like, yeah, you got to, there's

42:30

a lot of, of, of

42:32

catalog for a 15 minute medley. It's like,

42:34

I'm not sure I'd be honest there. Someone

42:36

like that. I'm praying. Right.

42:40

So making sure you hoes remember that the

42:42

hits run very deep over there for us

42:44

to Raymond the fourth. There are

42:47

a lot, there are a lot. There

42:49

aren't many Super Bowl half

42:51

time shows I've seen, even

42:54

with artists that I'm fond of where it's

42:56

like, I know every song. I

42:58

like every one of these songs. So

43:02

that was, did he do Oh my God? No, he did.

43:04

He did. Of

43:06

course he did. When was it? I mean, niggas were

43:08

like, he's going to open the show with Oh my

43:10

God. Watch. No, he did. Our least favorite phone. Open,

43:12

but Oh my God. Come on. I

43:14

mean, I don't, I didn't write down like the set

43:17

list or anything, but I'm sure he did as one of his

43:19

biggest hits, but I, I loved it.

43:22

I loved the whole, I mean, I just love the

43:24

whole thing. I don't love every song to think it

43:26

was an excellent performance. And he took his shirt off,

43:29

which is what most of the aunties was

43:31

looking for. Any, I would be honest with

43:33

you. I was so

43:35

just excited and

43:38

maybe like fully dipped

43:40

in nostalgia that I forgot

43:43

like about the sex

43:45

symbol aspect of it. Like

43:48

when he started taking off that vest. Oh

43:50

yeah. And then he took, I

43:52

was like, Oh, this nigga is fine. Like body

43:55

fine too. Oh, I didn't expect you for guys

43:57

to do that. That he is. Thank

43:59

you. sexy in so many ways. Thank you so

44:01

much. Mm hmm. Um, they're saying

44:03

his performance was the most watched ever at 129.3

44:05

million. Oh,

44:08

wow. That's wild. Um,

44:10

he was joined on stage by her. I

44:14

loved her coming out. There was something

44:16

very anime coded about it. I don't

44:18

know why. She looked like an anime

44:20

character. I loved

44:22

her outfit. I loved the fact that she

44:25

just kind of popped. It

44:27

was good surprise. Yeah.

44:31

She looked like Northwest in a Halloween costume.

44:36

She did. And she was excellent. I

44:38

love, oh God, I love her so much. I

44:40

really, really enjoy her a lot. She was sexy.

44:43

She was fun. She was cute. She

44:45

was popular to boot. Will. I am

44:47

was there. I promise you. I

44:50

thought it was the Xenomorph from the alien franchise for a

44:52

while. Okay. By the time I figured out it

44:54

was Will. I am. Oh, here comes us for

44:57

bursting through between his legs. There

44:59

was a lot going on. Yeah. A

45:01

little John was there. Ludicrous

45:03

was there. Yes. When

45:05

Ludicrous and was that Ludicrous and Lil John that

45:07

came out with him at the end? That was

45:09

great. That was awesome. So many

45:12

fucking hits. Maybe

45:15

the Illuminati thing is real

45:17

cat. Cause Ludicrous has

45:20

aged possibly 48

45:22

hours. Damn.

45:25

That man looks the same to me.

45:27

Like, yeah. Am I tripping? No,

45:30

he does. He does. You

45:32

were not wrong. He is aging remotely. Wow. That

45:35

was a thing. Lord

45:37

Germaine Farquaad was there for a little

45:39

bit. I thought that was CeeLo. Girl.

45:43

I really did. I said, is it CeeLo? Who

45:45

is that in

45:47

them short pants and them roughly white socks? He

45:50

looked like he should have had

45:53

a bugle. Right?

45:56

Like it was very like... Oh,

46:00

please. Yeah,

46:04

like it

46:07

was very like White Rabbit. It was very

46:09

like I'm late for an important day.

46:12

It was anyway. And

46:15

then Alicia Keys obviously came. She

46:17

brought her piano because don't go

46:19

anywhere without it. Yikes. Well,

46:26

you can't make me hate Alicia. It's

46:28

impossible. Okay, okay. And

46:31

I don't think anybody's trying to. That

46:33

piano, I'll just say this. That

46:35

was one sexy ass piano. I

46:38

couldn't get over it. The shape, the

46:40

color. I thought that piano was fucking

46:43

stunning. But when she opened her.

46:46

No, it was curved in some crazy way. It

46:48

looked amazing. Let me go back and look at

46:50

you. When

46:54

she opened her mouth and then first notes came

46:56

out. Listen,

47:00

my living room full of niggas

47:02

was astounded. I

47:04

can only imagine. Oh

47:07

boy. Know who was in that room.

47:10

And I know that it was relentless. I

47:12

know that it was. Yeah, there were real thinkers

47:14

over here. So they were young and

47:17

for and the very first note, the

47:19

first right, right. It kind of

47:21

evened out after that. But then first couple of. Oh

47:25

boy. That was something else. Yeah,

47:29

it was like, yeah, it is. But I

47:31

do love my boo, the studio version. And

47:35

so again, I just moved it

47:37

out. I did not have. Well,

47:39

this is what they can do

47:41

in post, but you know, she

47:43

went up there

47:47

and she did one of

47:51

our like. That

47:54

meme, that meme

47:56

of like the two anime

47:58

characters, like meeting. in the middle

48:00

and shaking hands and agreeing on something. Like,

48:05

I saw the memes of

48:07

like, I'm white, so you know, I

48:09

can't wait for us to perform. And it was like, oh

48:11

my God. Oh yeah. And then

48:13

like the song things, but my boo is

48:15

the one where I feel like everybody meets

48:17

in the middle and is like, we all

48:19

enjoy this song. Okay. It's

48:22

perfect. All of us love it. I

48:24

thought that was, yeah. I mean,

48:26

we all love yeah too. I thought my boo

48:28

was more for the blacks. I didn't know white

48:30

people knew that song actually. That's what I'm saying.

48:32

My boo is like a black ass song, but

48:34

white people love it too. Okay. I'm

48:37

not talking about the songs that are coded and

48:39

very much meant for anybody. Got you. Like, like

48:41

my boo is a blackety black ass song. It

48:43

is. The white people love that

48:45

record. Okay. Let's, let's keep it

48:47

like a buck. So, which

48:50

is probably why she was the

48:52

one guest that was like reported.

48:54

Mm-hmm. To be there. You

48:57

know, to be there before the fucking thing

48:59

happened. And niggas like black folk physically were

49:01

like, God damn, can't not be a surprise

49:03

anymore. Like, people were like.

49:06

Yeah, I do. I would appreciate the

49:08

element of surprise remaining. I don't think

49:10

we have to tell all the secrets

49:12

before it happens, but let us just

49:14

have fun. Usher is such an incredible

49:16

performer. I'm so glad I saw him

49:18

in Vegas a few. Yeah, they did.

49:20

I'm so glad I got to see

49:22

him at that show because he is

49:25

one hell of an artist. And

49:28

looking at him, all those

49:30

comparisons that you children used to

49:32

make about him and Chris Brown are. They

49:41

are all the more foolish. Which

49:45

one of y'all really thought Christopher was going to

49:47

take a long enough break from the show? They're

49:50

both black male R&B

49:52

artists that are heavily,

49:55

heavily inspired by Michael Jackson.

49:57

Okay. So that's, I think. why

50:01

those comparisons exist. They

50:03

both slide around the

50:05

stage freestyling very similarly

50:08

but their artistry

50:13

to me as someone who hates neither.

50:15

It's so different.

50:19

So like I couldn't

50:21

see me watching a Chris Brown, I

50:24

couldn't see a Chris Brown

50:26

halftime show being landing.

50:28

I'm sorry yeah you can see it

50:30

having quite

50:36

the same impact you're right. I mean

50:38

I doubt that's ever going to

50:40

happen for reasons right. But even

50:43

if it did I it

50:45

wouldn't land the same for me and I'm

50:48

not saying that it would be bad

50:50

I don't know what it would be

50:52

it's just they're not the same they're

50:54

just R&B niggas that love Michael Jackson.

51:00

Much better like easily

51:03

laps circles around that nigga better.

51:05

I'm sorry the truth is what

51:07

it is and none of you

51:10

young boys are stepping up to take us

51:12

your spot as far as I'm concerned not that

51:14

I've seen. I'm not seeing it. Not

51:17

this R&B pop crossover

51:19

success not the singing

51:22

ability not the dancing not the

51:24

staying in the gym instead of going to

51:26

the club and doing drugs all fucking night

51:28

like none of it. Y'all not doing none

51:30

of it. So

51:36

who who who? No I'm not disagreeing with you

51:38

that wasn't a disagreeing um. I

51:41

thought you was thinking up a name. No

51:43

I was thinking of my. I should stay I was

51:45

about to get activated. Sweetie

51:49

sweetie sweetie I have

51:51

said this I will say it once

51:54

more that man was on

51:56

my bedroom wall I wanted to fight

51:58

Rezaan the chili thomas winning. go when

52:00

they went together. I liked

52:02

him so much I thought I was basic

52:04

for it. Because I was like of course

52:07

I like Usher he's the biggest big ever he's so great

52:09

and 87 old contestants and

52:11

oh my god he's like... He's cute

52:13

with a beautiful smile and he

52:15

has always seemed so romantic and

52:17

respectful and Moisha he's always yes

52:19

he's always just had this aura of

52:21

like a pretty nigga that

52:23

could sing but also Usher won't be mean to

52:26

you. Let's be clear. I am team Usher Raymond

52:29

as far as art and creativity and all of those things. I'm

52:36

not disagreeing about that. The

52:38

um was me trying to move on

52:41

and I just couldn't think of my

52:43

next statement. But I think that it

52:45

just is like oh they're

52:48

saying you know I

52:51

read that he made like just

52:54

over $600 or something for the halftime

52:56

show. I

52:59

don't know how true or false that is. I saw

53:01

like a couple people saying that he got next to

53:03

nothing for that show but

53:05

the streams

53:07

and all of the other stuff on the

53:10

back end is turning out into some money

53:12

so I don't know. Yeah I don't think

53:14

they get paid. I think it's one of

53:17

those where the exposure is your payment. Yeah

53:20

I don't know nothing about it. Not that you

53:22

need it like because obviously if you're big enough

53:24

to perform the Super Roll you don't need the

53:26

exposure but that's why. It happens every year right?

53:28

Yeah and that's why they time new releases around

53:30

their Super Bowl performances so that they had

53:32

a chance to capitalize. But everybody's streams and

53:35

sales and shit go way up you

53:37

know after that so yeah I

53:41

can believe that actually because that's one of the

53:43

few platforms where I would say yeah go

53:46

ahead and do that for free or whatever

53:48

the league minimum is. Yeah

53:50

go ahead and do that. It's like an interview with

53:52

Oprah like don't do that. Their

53:55

residency money probably is comfy. Again

53:57

I sure don't and he's going

53:59

on. tour got like five

54:01

dates in Atlanta alone. Currently

54:04

also working on a series. Like

54:06

it sounds like a scripted. That

54:08

man don't need nothing. Based on

54:11

black love in Atlanta, which Oh

54:14

boy. So it's going to be ghetto. It

54:20

doesn't have to be you, right? You just

54:22

automatically consider black love in Atlanta to be

54:24

ghetto. Black love in Atlanta. Say it to

54:26

the microphone. I can say

54:28

that. I consider black

54:31

love in Atlanta filmed and produced

54:33

for a reality show to be

54:35

ghetto. I did not. I said,

54:38

I'm pretty sure it is scripted as

54:40

in like a, like, I'm

54:42

sorry. My brain completely pretended you did

54:44

not say that. I think I just

54:47

heard unscripted my bad. Um,

54:49

well then it depends on who's writing it. That

54:52

it depends entirely on my feed today.

54:54

It depends entirely on who's writing it.

54:57

Um, it sounds like it. Listen, I'm

55:00

all for new vehicles

55:03

for black stories on

55:05

TV creators and writers.

55:08

I will give these things to shot. You know what

55:10

I'm saying? And so it sounds

55:13

like it will also involve me.

55:15

They saying, you know what? Now that I

55:18

remember it, they're saying it's like inspired by

55:20

his music. Oh,

55:22

okay. So maybe it's going to be like a

55:24

show that is inspired by confessions or something like

55:26

that or whatever. So it just, it sounds like

55:28

it's going to be like a drama, maybe a

55:31

musical drama. Well, that would be excellent. That would

55:33

be great. Actually confessions is a perfect album to

55:35

do something like that. I

55:37

love that. So, okay. Yeah. I'm sure

55:39

he's also married now to this

55:43

lady. Okay. I mean, so it was

55:47

that disappointing for you. No,

55:49

it's fine. Everyone deserves love. Happy Valentine's

55:51

Day. Look

55:53

at you. Hey y'all. Listen, we

55:56

all know that life is full of

55:58

the yada, yada, yada, you know. Sometimes

56:00

you sign up for a contract one

56:02

place, and then in order to get out of it, you gotta

56:04

send a million letters and go up there in

56:07

person, and it's just a bunch of blah, blah,

56:09

blah. Like this could have been easier, okay? We've

56:11

all dealt with the yada yada before when companies

56:13

have those sneaky gotchas hiding deep in fine print,

56:15

or you know, even bills that just seem to

56:17

keep going up every month for no dang reason,

56:20

or when budget airlines promise a cheap fare, but

56:22

then they charge you for every little thing until

56:24

you might as well just booked your ticket somewhere else. But

56:27

it is possible to outsmart the yada yada,

56:29

like triple checking airline deals, making sure everything

56:31

you need is already included. So remember, you

56:33

don't have to take the yada yada in

56:35

life, and you don't have to take it

56:37

from your wireless provider. Metro by

56:39

T-Mobile has no contracts, no credit

56:42

checks, no surprises, and nada

56:44

yada yada. So stop by one of

56:46

the over 6,000 Metro stores nationwide

56:49

56:52

got another day of NBA action, so it's

57:23

Dan Paschman, host of the Sporkful Food Podcast,

57:25

and I'm excited to tell you about our

57:28

new podcast, Deep Dish with Sola and Ham.

57:30

Sola and Ham are chefs, YouTube stars, and

57:32

a married couple. In each episode of Deep

57:35

Dish, they deep dive into the surprising story

57:37

behind a food, then see what it inspires

57:39

them to cook up. The first episode starts

57:41

off with two dead bodies and a trunk

57:44

full of tamales. Listen to

57:46

Deep Dish in the Sporkful's feed, wherever you

57:48

get your podcasts. Uh,

57:53

Monique on Club Say Say, girl,

57:55

they're too long. I can't, I,

57:57

I, listen, I try. I

57:59

got to. I. Think almost

58:01

two hours. And. The now

58:03

images of me. It's.

58:05

Hook me. I.

58:08

Definitely took a break with my first

58:10

like play through. On

58:12

I gotta say about where there was

58:15

hard my her be and and quote

58:17

unquote the slow class oh right oh

58:19

that I can't why we should have

58:21

talked about slow. Listen.

58:25

Answer when I move and of letting

58:27

your be problematic cinema is no my

58:29

some ice is for you to be

58:31

prosecutors. So. You talking

58:33

about being for I'm I'm saying

58:35

is know what? Slow? it's intellectually

58:38

disabled or delay? That is what

58:40

I want to censor Freedom Monotonous

58:42

that give up after insisting on

58:44

our people slow of like know

58:47

why but insisting on talking about

58:49

the fact that people still casually

58:51

calm the fuck as slow as

58:53

okay. so busy. Thought about that

58:56

are gloves I say wrong God

58:58

last February first to talk about

59:00

big and that slog last. As

59:03

what brazil but I've never wear a helmet and

59:05

other sites on the play video games. Or.

59:09

I'm only going to be so easily

59:11

see look it's just don't say much.

59:14

I heard her on a lot

59:17

of was suicide. And

59:20

I get it. On. A

59:22

lot of what she was saying. I

59:25

see. Spells,

59:27

Similar in some ways to

59:29

the Cat Williams interview. I

59:31

was like, okay, this sounds

59:33

like embellishment. This kind of

59:35

sounds. Ah like in

59:38

our area by talk Of

59:40

or whatever his by I

59:42

didn't. Disagree with.

59:46

A lot of what she says and

59:48

some of the stuff on my the

59:50

question is more so like I don't

59:52

have context to say. Whether.

59:55

Or not I agree with this or

59:57

understand or whatever. Ah, But

1:00:00

then once it got into like where I ended

1:00:03

up stopping and she started talking about her

1:00:05

husband in more detail and her

1:00:07

son and all that, I was

1:00:10

kind of like, okay, I

1:00:13

think I'm done. Because again, she's speaking

1:00:15

to Shannon Sharp, who God bless. Right.

1:00:18

Nope. Does not have it

1:00:20

though. Does not have the range for these

1:00:22

conversations. And

1:00:29

I saw her going back and forth now

1:00:31

with her eldest son on

1:00:34

social media, which is like, I

1:00:37

don't want to be involved in that. It

1:00:40

definitely always just makes

1:00:43

me sad. Even

1:00:47

when I would see like 50 cent

1:00:50

for instance. Oh

1:00:52

yeah. And all of,

1:00:54

anytime drama between him and his son

1:00:57

would make bad lines. I

1:00:59

would just feel bad. Like I

1:01:02

don't speak

1:01:04

about it much because I'm just like, I'm not trying to get

1:01:06

involved in shit that I have to do with your mom or

1:01:08

I have to do with your baby or anything like that. Like

1:01:11

there can be a line, you know,

1:01:13

especially as I'm getting older.

1:01:17

And I'm not a big

1:01:20

fan of Kurt strikes and today, you

1:01:22

know, and, and still, I don't know when

1:01:27

I see this, I'm just like, God, I hope something

1:01:30

you have where they can fix that. Because

1:01:32

I can never, ever,

1:01:34

ever imagine me

1:01:38

going back and

1:01:40

forth with my parent or child. Well,

1:01:50

that whole situation, the dynamic between her and

1:01:52

her son is part of my read. So

1:01:58

I'll save most of my commentary. on

1:02:00

that for when that part of the program comes

1:02:02

around. But

1:02:05

I will say I want to hear whatever

1:02:07

this audio is of Tyler Perry that she

1:02:09

sent to Shannon that is incriminating

1:02:14

in some way

1:02:17

or whatever. And I don't doubt, like, I don't

1:02:19

think my issue was ever, like, Monique is

1:02:21

lying on Tyler Perry or Oprah or anybody

1:02:24

else. But that seems to be, she

1:02:26

seems to have a real chip on her shoulder

1:02:28

from that incident. And I mean, I guess rightfully

1:02:30

so if you're, like, blackballed from the industry and

1:02:33

all that afterwards. But I just would like to,

1:02:35

hmm, it was

1:02:40

much more difficult for me to watch

1:02:42

this whole interview. And so I didn't

1:02:44

because Monique and Shannon Sharpe

1:02:46

don't have the ability to captivate me through

1:02:48

their words like Cat Williams does. So

1:02:52

all of the

1:02:54

scandalous stuff, all of, like, the clips that

1:02:56

people pulled up, you know, hard talking shit

1:02:58

about Tiffany Haddish and bringing Daddy into it

1:03:00

and all that, that is what I saw.

1:03:03

But Monique is not, Cat Williams is

1:03:06

a storyteller. Cat Williams knows how to use

1:03:08

his words to engage in audience

1:03:10

and keep you interested for that amount of

1:03:12

time. And Monique, to me, just

1:03:15

is not capable of doing that same thing. So I

1:03:18

mean, and I have a lot of issues, as I'll talk about later

1:03:20

in the show, but I have a lot of issues with the way

1:03:22

she talks about her son and her husband. So,

1:03:25

but we'll get there. We'll get there. The

1:03:31

next thing I had on here was something about

1:03:33

Jay-Z, Jay-Z and him at the

1:03:35

Grammys and what he said on the stage

1:03:37

of the Grammys when he won the Global

1:03:41

Impact Award. And

1:03:45

actually, it makes me think of some of

1:03:47

what Monique

1:03:49

was talking about, where it's just kind of like,

1:03:52

I don't know if it's something about the messenger

1:03:54

or what. But

1:03:58

it feels like it's something that it feels like. Like some people

1:04:00

are not receiving

1:04:04

the point. And

1:04:06

you can be like, okay

1:04:08

girl, like I don't know why

1:04:11

you're the one saying it or let's talk about

1:04:13

this, this, that and the third. And

1:04:15

also be like, yeah, there is

1:04:18

a very conscious effort in

1:04:20

nearly every industry across the

1:04:23

world, but particularly this nation to

1:04:26

keep people that look like us down,

1:04:30

to keep us in control, to manipulate

1:04:32

us in those types of things. And

1:04:36

I feel like I connected with a lot

1:04:38

of that when she's talking with

1:04:41

it. And not even just because it's personally

1:04:43

happened to me in any one way, shape

1:04:45

or whatever, but just like, my

1:04:48

overall, I guess, empathy

1:04:51

and moving to Hollywood

1:04:54

and all this stuff, like,

1:04:57

I'm hearing that. But then when

1:05:00

it gets to the point of like,

1:05:02

what can Tyler Perry do to like

1:05:04

make it right? But

1:05:09

it's like, okay, well, I don't have

1:05:11

as much connectivity in that cause that's

1:05:13

individual to you. You know what

1:05:15

I mean? Tyler Perry ain't gonna write this lady

1:05:17

no $10 million, right? No, probably not. Right?

1:05:21

But if he did, I don't care. You

1:05:23

know what I mean? If he did

1:05:25

what she said that he did, do I

1:05:27

think that he should make it right? Well,

1:05:30

he makes ruthless. He

1:05:35

makes, do a

1:05:37

Madea, goes to- All the Queen's men

1:05:39

are like, that's something. I

1:05:42

don't see why not. But once you start getting into,

1:05:44

well, you know, I was making this amount of money

1:05:46

for years and I was like, okay, that has nothing

1:05:48

to do with like the greater thing. You should be

1:05:51

able to speak to that too, because something,

1:05:54

you know, happens to you as you put it. But

1:05:56

like, I feel like I just don't have

1:05:59

an issue. filtering

1:06:01

out things. I can

1:06:03

listen to someone talk about something

1:06:05

and go, okay, well, we'll put this

1:06:07

here and oh, okay, no, no, that

1:06:09

goes there and that doesn't really sound

1:06:11

like it makes sense, but this does

1:06:13

and I don't know.

1:06:18

It feels like not, I

1:06:21

don't know. Everything just feels like

1:06:23

very rigid and everything

1:06:25

has to be like saved three, four times for

1:06:27

somebody to grasp onto what

1:06:30

is a, I don't know this. I'm

1:06:36

good on club shade for a little while. No

1:06:38

shade. No shade shade. Yeah,

1:06:42

he gonna have to bring in somebody

1:06:44

who works a little bit

1:06:47

better with words than that for me to

1:06:49

tune in for three fucking hours or at

1:06:51

least like health issues

1:06:56

of the mind. Okay. Yeah. Because

1:07:00

you just talking to me because

1:07:02

it's about comedy and

1:07:05

Twitter and what the nature of

1:07:07

that stage at the improv. That's

1:07:09

fine. Okay. You having people coming

1:07:12

in and unpacking like deep rooted

1:07:14

trauma that affects not only them,

1:07:16

but it affects extensions of their

1:07:18

family, which is what Monique

1:07:21

is so upset about in the first

1:07:23

place. Yeah. It pertains to

1:07:25

Oprah. It's like, it's not to say don't do it, but

1:07:27

if we're going to do it, we got to be able

1:07:30

to like, like

1:07:33

I never mentioned, I don't think we ever

1:07:35

mentioned on the podcast that time, sexy red

1:07:37

who again,

1:07:40

it doesn't really matter. I can't. Sexy

1:07:42

red went on Lil Yachty's podcast

1:07:44

and mentioned being raped. Oh

1:07:47

my God. I'm sorry. I was laughing at the thought

1:07:49

of Lil Yachty having a podcast. So you didn't care

1:07:51

about that. No, I did not. Oh, that's terrible. He

1:07:54

was a guest on his podcast with him and his

1:07:56

friend and they asked her something to the effect of

1:07:58

what's the craziest thing that you. ever did or

1:08:00

a crazy thing ever happened to you. And she

1:08:02

just, I don't know where off the cuff was

1:08:05

like, you know, that's happened to me before I've

1:08:07

been raped. And

1:08:09

you just have to watch it to be

1:08:11

honest with you. I don't even, they were

1:08:13

kind of like very obviously like shocked

1:08:17

or like, yeah, but

1:08:19

they just, they were like, we was like,

1:08:21

we were thinking like, you know, like a

1:08:23

drive by it was, they didn't handle

1:08:27

it. Of course not. And don't

1:08:29

give me your own. Of course not. Of course they

1:08:31

didn't. It's a goofy ass

1:08:33

podcast. You know what I'm saying? With

1:08:35

a horrible rapper in his homeboy. I'm

1:08:37

not expecting them to be equipped with

1:08:40

the tools to properly unpack that. But

1:08:42

it was like, it wasn't even an

1:08:44

attempt to be like, like,

1:08:48

you know, like, yeah, condoned

1:08:52

or anything like, whoa, like,

1:08:54

let's just try

1:08:57

and get that out of the

1:08:59

way real quick because we're not,

1:09:01

it's like, oh

1:09:04

man. Yes. So

1:09:07

everything for everybody.

1:09:09

And therapy.

1:09:12

I'm done. Yeah.

1:09:15

And therapy is a great way to wrap it up. Yeah.

1:09:19

Okay. Alrighty. Well, we can take problems. We'll talk

1:09:21

about Lago and I spice, but why?

1:09:26

Why? Now

1:09:30

for, I literally

1:09:32

forgot the letter. Yes,

1:09:34

Great question. Thank you for

1:12:56

asking. Yes. Thank you miles This

1:12:59

next question comes from Parker who says

1:13:01

dear crystal and Kifuri I have a

1:13:03

very close friend who's an artist and

1:13:05

has been pursuing legitimacy in the art world for

1:13:07

a while I'm very supportive of this friend and

1:13:09

I'm typically the only one in our friend group

1:13:11

who takes time to appreciate her art and engage

1:13:13

Her about it. I'm making a point

1:13:15

to support up-and-coming artists because I understand the sacrifice

1:13:18

it takes to grow your craft She's very talented

1:13:20

and I believe in her Anyway,

1:13:22

she has expanded her practice into performance art, but

1:13:24

it's not yet in a place where hi her eye

1:13:27

where her Ideas are

1:13:30

as original as her visual art is She's

1:13:33

finding her feet and I have no problem with that until

1:13:35

it ruins my expensive shoes. I Recently

1:13:39

bought myself. No quite

1:13:41

literally. Okay. I recently bought

1:13:43

myself a pair of long coveted designer shoes

1:13:49

All of my friends know how long I've been

1:13:51

saving up for these shoes and I wore them

1:13:53

to my friends opening last week She

1:13:55

told me about the theme she was exploring but

1:13:57

didn't mention that any of them would be explored through

1:14:00

My friend opened

1:14:02

the exhibition with a piece of

1:14:04

performance art comprised of real live

1:14:07

animal blood, which ended up on my

1:14:09

brand new pair of designer shoes while

1:14:11

she was in the throes of

1:14:13

a clearly last minute unrehearsed,

1:14:15

unnecessary derivative under-researched opportunistic

1:14:17

performance of biracial ego

1:14:20

death. I

1:14:32

love my friend but I can't wait for her to outgrow her

1:14:35

tragic mulatto motif. Anyway, what

1:14:38

pisses me off about what happened is not

1:14:40

just that it happened, but

1:14:42

because my friend noticed what she'd done

1:14:44

almost immediately after she did it but chose not

1:14:46

to address it with me at all. Instead

1:14:49

she chose to quote stay in character end

1:14:51

quote for the rest of the night, which I

1:14:55

believe was a ploy to evade eye contact or

1:14:57

simply ignore me and not have to address the

1:14:59

obvious issue at hand. I'm sure she knows what

1:15:01

she did because I definitely squealed

1:15:03

when I saw that thick cold blood land

1:15:05

on my suede shoes and

1:15:08

she could see it with me because I was right

1:15:10

there never. That is a

1:15:12

rap Tina. When I

1:15:14

finally brought it up to her she said she didn't mean to ruin

1:15:16

my shoes but that she shouldn't have to apologize for

1:15:19

her artistic practices. She

1:15:21

asked that because I know

1:15:23

what kind of work she does. I should have dressed

1:15:25

accordingly and then she asked me if I would have

1:15:27

even brought this up if I didn't know the

1:15:29

artist personally. I

1:15:32

was livid. I can understand that she wasn't

1:15:34

able to prevent it from happening but I

1:15:36

also feel like she's dismissing my feelings a

1:15:38

little. How was she? Okay. I

1:15:41

held back on her when we spoke because I would

1:15:43

never want to say anything that'll discourage her moving forward

1:15:45

but I feel really gaslit by her.

1:15:48

Was I wrong to bring it up? Should I

1:15:50

have let it go? I just

1:15:52

wanted some acknowledgement but my friend is making me feel like I'm

1:15:54

asking for special treatment or not taking her seriously

1:15:56

as an artist when I feel like I've done

1:15:59

so much to- support her. Please help.

1:16:01

Love y'all Parker. She

1:16:10

must've been tossing blood. I'm

1:16:12

saying like, because I'm trying to figure

1:16:14

out, do I start with how the

1:16:16

living or dying fuck did

1:16:19

like, what were you doing? Were you

1:16:21

just spraying it out of a

1:16:23

hose and swinging around your head like a helicopter?

1:16:25

Like, how did you

1:16:29

throw up? Yeah. I

1:16:31

mean, you talk about some, I understand that

1:16:33

she couldn't prevent it from happening. She, why

1:16:36

she didn't throw up animal blood. Did

1:16:38

she, she

1:16:40

actually explode? Yeah. And

1:16:43

I mean, what are you, if

1:16:45

people are at risk of coming into

1:16:47

contact with a

1:16:49

substance like blood, I would,

1:16:52

why is there no warning of that before

1:16:54

they enter the performance art space? I'm,

1:16:58

I'm lost. Like, like,

1:17:01

is this not a biohazard? What do you

1:17:03

mean? What do you mean? Oh

1:17:08

no. Like on a basic level,

1:17:11

they should be giving, Hey,

1:17:14

bitch. When I went to the motherfucking Universal Studios

1:17:16

a couple of months ago, Oh, I love Universal

1:17:18

Studios. And I went to go see the water

1:17:20

world show. Do you know what they say? You're

1:17:23

going to get wet if you sit in

1:17:25

these rows. You see these rows right here?

1:17:27

You will get wet. We've

1:17:29

actually highlighted them. You've changed these

1:17:32

seats that are this color. They

1:17:34

don't get lost. And

1:17:37

we're talking about water. That's

1:17:39

not a good friend of Suede, but still

1:17:41

we're talking about water. Well, who the fuck

1:17:43

wears suede shoes to Universal Studios? But

1:17:47

still, that's that point because they

1:17:49

warn you, you could

1:17:51

come here in a full suede suit, bitch.

1:17:53

They warn you, you're going to get wet.

1:17:55

I'm not wearing designer suede shoes to a

1:17:57

day. Hey. So

1:18:00

you're probably wondering how we got here

1:18:04

You're wondering Siri. What the fuck is going

1:18:06

1:18:08
