Well, well, well, welcome back Slurs. Hey Siri, play the baddest bitch my train. Oh my God. Oh my God. I cannot believe you just said that. Wow. Welcome girls. It's the dolls. My name is Katrina LaVern Taylor. And I'm Stacy Ivane Abrams. And this is the read. Thank you so much for joining us. It is a beautiful day in America. I was just about to say, how are you feeling about a United States American? I'm honestly shocked. I'm a little shocked. Actually, I mean half way halfway. Right. Cause like, I knew I was fed up with the Trump administration and everything they've done. But I didn't realize everybody else was legit sick of these niggas too. I'm so I like, I'm full. I'm satisfied. Like, they're still counting stuff. But yeah, it's looking good. The amount of people who were like, wake up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wake up. What like? Oh, man. There are so many black folk at the pole to when I went to vote yesterday. Yeah. And I'm talking about all ages. There were so many older people who were there very clearly. Love that. But it was just like so many people. It was also the first time in Obama that I've gone through the polls and student line. Hmm. That's a good sign. Yeah. Right. That's a great sign. I voted on Halloween because New York City does special sticker. We have early voting stickers. But then we had a Halloween. I voted on Halloween sticker. And I was like, Oh, bitch, need that. But limited edition. By the time I got there, they had ran out. So I just got the regular early voting sticker. I was almost like, bitch, I don't even want this. But the girls were like, listen, I just all I want is cabbage. That's like all life. It's just what? Like spinach. Yeah. But when I saw, I turned, um, whatever they call MSNBC now, because you know, election night, I got to look at Rachel Maddow. Sorry. I need my, I need my dressy white. And so, yeah, I cut her on and they said that the early voting numbers for this midterm was already greater than the total numbers from the last midterm. I said, Oh, yeah. The people said nine dollar eggs. Let me carry my ass on. Yeah. Yeah. Nicki Minaj is just the press secretary. Well, I guess we're all telling jokes. Let me go ahead and be serious. And it's nothing. A barb actually showed up in my DMs. I'm like, damn, I didn't even know they still made y'all. But there was a barb mad about what I said about Nicky is like, I don't, I, at no point did I lie. You stupid bitch. At no point did I tell an untruth and look at what bringing this bitch on to try to drum up support for these people actually did not one fucking thing. Nobody was moved by her presence. I did see like someone posted a screenshot of some f word who allegedly went and voted red to show that they still supported her or something. Wow. Okay. They actually have medication for that. And they have like a really, really fierce form of help called dialectical behavior therapy. They even have DBT cards. They have group therapy for it. All kind of shit. They really like I would suggest group. Yeah. Yeah. I would suggest group. But they even have, I got cards. They have it at home exercises now. You said it's work books, nigga. I'll kind of shit. You can do all kinds of things that you can do besides waste people time in yours. Oh, Lord. I saw a post of her with her saying she was posing outside the, the polls in New Hampshire or something. And I was like, what else can she do at the post? Right. She can't go inside. Your name's not on the list. Right. Like, what else wish you can't? And who in New Hampshire was going to be moved by the side of Nikki? Like the fact that they thought Nikki Manage was going to be some cultural icon to really help get the vote out for Trump. What it just goes to show you how out of touch these fucking people are. And, and Trump telling people to go vote like he was on the ballot. That worked in the exact opposite way that he thought it would bitch. Because states are blue that I never been blue before. Yeah. Kansas selected a democratic senator for the first time in almost 100 years. I guess I've not had a democratic senator since like 1932. What do you mean? It's giving the song that they play in club at the end of the night with their like, you got to go. Oh, the girls are fed up child. The house and the Senate have been flipped. I will hope it holding my breath so tightly be in time. But when I got up and I got outside, especially when I got on that line, I'm like, it's giving the girls showing up and showing out today because they they have something to say. Yeah. It feels like a lot of the girls are very opinionated. It's election. A lot of the girls simply want a honey nut. Oh, right. It doesn't cost $30. Yes. And a lot of Gen Z are realizing what millennials realized except as bad as it was for us 10, 15, 20 years ago, it's even worse for these kids. And they're like, what exactly is the point of life when I have a full time job and still have to live with my mama? Like what is the fucking point? What am I even fucking doing here that we can't afford the basics of adult living? So yeah, Gen Z, all the shout out to all the influencers and content creators who have been yelling at the people who live their lives on social media to go out and vote because it's been record numbers, baby, across demographics. Everybody is not everybody. But most of us are sick of this shit. So it feels good. I have hope for the future again, which has been, it's been really lacking over these past few years. And we need kind of you have to hold on to the hope you cannot. You have to. Yeah. Well, it looks nice today, sacred, always. But I also switched to instead of using regular ponytail holders. I have this little satin one now. And I think my hair is feeling healthier. You know, yeah, it's a little, but you know, the regular ponytail holders, they like pull your hair out and shit. So you're going to go your whole life without never tripping it again, unless it's Tina. Correct. No body can trim my hair, but me until Miss Tina does it again. Yeah. And I'm simply, yeah, I'm incapable of letting the rest of you do it. Sorry. Right. Hello, please. The diva of hairdressing, please. Yeah, it's a living icon. It's her moment. And that's it. Yeah. Yeah. What are those choreo people doing? Just plan. You know, she cooking some shit up. Speaking of, thank you, sacred, because they sent me some of the hair perfume. I'll be going through that. Oh, yeah. Like crazy. They sent me some hair perfume. Thank you, divas. But I don't know what she over there getting skinny, preparing for whatever they finna do at the fucking Super Bowl. Miss Tina posted a video on Instagram. Yes. Did you see it? She looks 23 years old. Somebody in the comments was like, bitch, I legit thought this was Blue Ivy. Like she's wearing shades, but the face, you know, outside of the shades, it just looks extremely youthful. I almost said, Miss Tina, is this a filter? Like what? What is this? Why do you look so young? But, you know, she was basically just talking about vote and get your black ass out there and vote is important. So, um, yeah. First thing I saw when I went on Instagram is that Victorian Monday going on tour and I got a little distracted. Oh, yeah. She looks so good. Her outfit and stuff that I've seen so far, so pretty. Oh, I see. Oh, wow. Right. Oh, I put my butt and stick on my forehead. She's so cute. It walked right to the dispensary like a new face. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Right. This might be a filter, but still. Yeah. M jeans are strong, boy. Well, black excellence today. I'm going to give over to the reason that what did magic city say? Georgia's run by bottoms or something like that. Did they? I saw they had a polls and polls watch party where you could come look at us while the results came in. I said, God damn.

It looks like the cartoon Oh my god, and what's the sibling name a bingo the broma bingo It's bluey and bingo and they have the little things in their hands Mm-hmm, and it's like a medley of bluey song.

You can play that on your switch On my switch. Oh, okay. Well damn now. I do really want it. Fuck fuck. Yeah Okay, but when you do get your switch to you're gonna love Ocarina in two years when they coming out with the switch three That's when I'll get a switch to I'm giving up that game is not going to be on sale damn Nintendo don't ever put their original IP on sale. Oh, no, it's still 79 right right and I knew that and I knew that I know that actually cuz the fucking link Not link, but breath of breath of the wild breath of the wild was $60 for like six years man They did not give a fuck. I don't even I don't know what it is now, but I don't think that game
has ever had a discount. - They were like, bitch, you'll pay it and you'll like it. - And that's, you simply that? - You're getting way more than $60 out of that game if you actually complete the game. You're getting way more than $60. - $69.99. - Yeah, it went up. - It's what, breast up of the wall cost. That might be the Nintendo Switch 2, but yeah. The Switch 2 version is $69.99. The regular one is $59.99. - Okay, that makes sense. - So it's $60, $70 for the Switch 2 version. - Love that. - The series of the Kingdom is the same price. - Yeah, like, faith, discounted for what? I don't care how old it is, you're gonna fucking love it. So pay it, or don't play it, it's up to you. - Pay it or don't play it, I've got to get out my faith. - Right, get out my fucking faith, something Nintendo. Who do you think you talking to? It's like, oh, mom and pop. - If you scared go to church, all I'm showing. - All right. Okay, this week, what else do we have? - Oh, so I looked up this Tyra Banks thing, the Netflix, I wanna like an update. Because this is something that I need to know more about. I have been pissed with this lady, like disgusted. And you know, she bought his lawsuit against Netflix, claiming defamation, and that it was, she blame it on that edit. I'm not the one who said it, you know that whole thing. And so, Netflix, they went back and were like, well girl, you signed the paperwork, you already know what the tea was, you know what it was given, you knew who was giving what, and then it came out and all of a sudden, you're talking about, oh, I didn't, I wasn't portrayed in the right thing, and I needed to know what the other interviewees said and all of this other stuff. That's what Netflix said. Ben apparently in September, her attorneys made another filing and they included like side-by-side video clips from the documentary to try and prove like see, they selected certain moments and certain sound bites and certain facial expressions for certain moments. And I looked at one of these little examples that's on YouTube, and I was like Tyra, this hasn't really changed anything for me because what I'm seeing here is like, at the end of the first episode, they ask her about Shandie, you see a clip of her like, just sort of like curling her lip and looking up and then it cuts to black. Like that's the clip for the next day. - Got it, okay. - So when she's asked again in an episode two, she nods her head and like makes a different face right after the same question. So basically her facial expression and so on and so was different. But in that next clip, she says I do remember her story, but the same thing that we watched. So I'm like, just because they didn't, because they changed our facial expression or used a different edit for that, doesn't mean she said something different. - Right, right. - I don't know, but I'm paying attention, girl. If you're like, I did not say that about that. I really want to know that. - Yeah. And I would love to see, you know, some evidence to back that up. But it doesn't sound like. - Yeah, and this wouldn't be it though, that doesn't sound conclusive anyway. - Well. - Well, keeping my eye on that. - Yeah. - In the case. (laughing) - Dude, did you see Kyle Massey on "Raven Park?" - Yeah, I saw that clip. - I thought it was her nigga. - I saw that clip. I saw a clip of her trying to explain like, what she meant or what she was talking about. He was like, and nobody took it that way, don't nigga. (laughing) - Yeah. - I was like, you can't tell again. - Cory is in the house. - Yeah, he is. That was funny. Although her white wife over there with the, I guess it was an alphabet, yeah. I don't know if she was trying to be alphabet or if she was just trying to be funny. Because you know what Raven said, but either way, I did not find that endearing. - I thought it was a reference to when there's episode of Raven, that's a Raven where she ends up blue at the end of it. Like something happened in her chemistry class and this chemical like blue up and then at the very end of the episode, she's all blue in a bathrobe. - Mm-hmm. - And her boyfriend comes and like plays a song out in the window or outside her window. - I don't remember the episode, I do remember. She's in a bathrobe and her skin is all blue. - Yeah. - And I assume that's what it was, but she made her skin green because of the dumbass comment that they played on the other crackers. - Right. - But maybe Elphaba, I don't know. - I mean, when I see anybody with green face paint, I just think Elphaba, like, off the switch. - But yeah, but then when I thought about it for another minute, I was like, oh, you're trolling us because of the controversy from the last dumb thing that y'all said on this podcast. And I don't find that endearing pepper in. I don't think it's cute. I don't think you're entertaining. And I would love for our black legend to get away from you, but it is what it is. - And why wouldn't you let the black one be the one to pay herself great? - Like. - The whole comment, you didn't even-- - Right, like, you were not part of this. Oh, oh! She arcs real bad, but I didn't see that clip of Kyle. - Yeah. - That clip of Kyle being like, nigga, you dumb, nigga. No, didn't nobody say that way. - You were not. - Stop following her nigga. - And she's laughing because she's probably spoken with him like that forever. You know, they know each other since they were kids. But I could also tell that in that moment, she was a little less comfortable because her green wife is sitting right there. - Oh, please. - Please. I feel like Pepperian says, nigga when it's just the two of them around. - Of course, but not on camera. - Well, that's-- - Yeah. - Oh, well. Don't play Raven, Raven. Now, I'll be trying to find explanations and excuse a lot of the stuff you do because I think you have a complicated pass. But if that white woman starts saying nigga on camera, girl, I might have to let it go. - But what is nigga besides a word? - Don't care if you took the end out and you made it a piece. - Please shut the hell up. Don't say nothing, that's stupid around me. Don't do it. - So two chains has had to apologize to the internet. I guess you didn't have to. But he was on his podcast, Den of Kings. Yeah, Den of Kings. And Keith Lee was one of the people at the table with him. And they started talking about his, you know, life reviewing food for TikTok and Instagram and things like that. At one point, it seemed like two chains was confronting him about his restaurant getting a bad review from Keith Lee. One in fact, Keith Lee is not the one who reviewed his restaurant. He's another food reviewer. - Oh god, what an idiot. What was the other food reviewer's name? Mr. Chime Time? - Y'all just be comin' up with new niggas every day. - Hell is that. - I don't know, but I'm, oh, and I don't use TikTok. Oh my god, I posted a TikTok yesterday. I was quoting, I was quoting this moment from Loretta Divine in the movie "Dirty Laundry." What's their man name who I think is canceled now? The Rockman Dunbar plays this gay man coming back to the South to see his saved family and his mama who is uptight and homophobic. And Jennifer Lewis is his aunt, also got his church lady. Anyway, at the end of the movie, they're having dinner and Loretta's character sort of just accepts it. And she has his mom, but she's drunk. And she says, "Everybody, this is my son. He's one of the guys." And he wants to be called Patrick. - 'Cause he wanted to call, whatever. I posted a TikTok saying that with Link. - I'm not great on it. - Oh my god. - It's worth it, but comments. Like, oh, Link has a brother. Yeah, what does Link think of this? Oh, she don't be so serious. - And it was like two people who were like, they don't know what movie you're seeing. - Right, yeah. - All confused. - You know what I'm talking about? - And I knew people would be confused, I didn't care. - Yeah, no. - I knew other people would know what I was talking about. - Right. - Okay, all of the place, okay. So two channels of speaking to him about that or whatever, but I think the part that rubbed people the wrong way was Keith saying what he said as long as I've known him to be doing this thing, which is that he doesn't want to be treated differently. He doesn't want special treatment from the restaurants he reviews because he wants for the people who watch his reviews, go based off of his recommendations or whatever. He wants them to get the same treatment. - Right. - Which makes-- - That's why the people love him. - Right. So, you know, he said he sends his family in ahead of him. So, right, right, right. And he also reviews restaurants where he's asked to come. He doesn't go anywhere where they don't invite him.
So two chains has this response that's like you know that's a part of being a celebrity like I you know worked our asses off for however long. So you know when I go to the airport I have a greeter and I don't stay in line or whatever like that's just a part of what comes with it. It makes me like like you fucking it you're a rapper though Keith Lee is a food reviewer that's yeah we're not talking about skipping the line at fucking TSA we're talking about what could affect the quality of the review that is his job you dumb nigga it's not just going out to eat this is his job and then it got into athletics. Oh my god because Keith Lee said that you know his his experience as an athlete and I guess like nutrition based on that is kind of what got him into doing food reviews in the first place got it but then that conversation started to confuse me because I mean let's be honest but also what do you mean two chains is right off the back of the I'm a celebrity I do what I want. And say you know you mean meal prep and you have like you don't eat this or whatever whatever like you know and that comes with I don't like I don't understand what the TSA thing had to do what he's saying and I don't understand what meal prep has to do with what he's saying yeah so I was confused in general right. Teddy boy has since tweeted I got a chance to speak to Keith after the podcast and it was all love I know my words offended some people and I apologize for that what I said and when I meant we're two different things I could have done a better job getting my point across Tony with an eye like Braxton didn't know that okay but it was a while. Well he I mean he is legitimately a fucking dumb ass like to compare celebrity perks like just you know regular things that celebrities get to you know to try to make that like Keith leased problem like oh as a celebrity you should be taking advantage of it's like do you understand what I do like if I send my mother-in-law to 10 different restaurants in Atlanta and she can't get no service and then all of a sudden I pop up in a tables magically available and then I go tell them that I don't know what I do and I don't understand what I do. And then I go tell my millions of followers I had a great experience here they're going to show up and what do you think's going to happen are they going to get true like Keith Lee are they going to get treated like Keith Lee's mother-in-law like I don't understand what didn't click for him and then that whole conversation about well you know because you are athlete you have to eat a certain way and so maybe that is influencing your reviews about food like maybe your expectations are different because of all that he's like. It actually is what introduced me to nutrition is what spark my passion for cooking so no nigga there was a lot of like oh I know it. Keith was even saying like I cook all the time I when my wife is pregnant I cooked for her for time today I'm cooking for myself and like all while I'm watching stuff on TV about food but to your point it's like this is different than me. Having you know having one of those extra fancy airport situations where you have a completely different terminal right all of you champagne while you know they you know and then they drive you to the plane who say he doesn't do that his job is reviewing food and he approaches it with a certain sense of morality that is helpful and like you said is why people right his job is reviewing food that's why he does it that way TSA is completely different and completely irrelevant to. What he does and what we're discussing so I was confused and that's why I said to the boys and idiot because how did that not occurred like what did that even need to be broken down for you I feel like as soon as most people hear that that's how Keith Lee approaches and you like oh yeah because then it's like a really unbiased you know it's not influenced by oh my god Keith Lee less you know make sure we get a great review so. I just uh that yeah that whole thing was stupid I guess I'm glad he apologized but it was just like if you niggas with just turn your brains on just turn this on and use it to think like three whole thoughts then this would have never happened in the first place I didn't have to get to this place of this man being visibly uncomfortable you had him mixed up with whoever Mr. Prime Tommy you want me to talk to the right nigga. Girl I you know what I do like to change I prefer when you're on these podcasts and interviews with your son and he just talks about how much it looks respects you how much of a present father you've been and love playing basketball with you and how he's better than better basketball player than you and then you're like no you ain't nigga I like that. He preferred yes the I've seen clips of him with his son and those are cute but this was a swing and I miss this was a swing and a miss uh speaking of celebrities in their son Halle Berry Halle Berry's um uh Bay father I guess is now going to have primary custody of their son 13 year old son ma ma sia whatever um so I don't know it might be missale but I don't know. Yeah that word they were there's like a meme of her now leaving the court after this ruling and she's just smiling she's not saying anything she's smiling her legal team is walking by her smiling and um you know that on threads turned into like if I send you this like right right right if I send you this I'm just not gonna say it not yet or like if I send you this I'm not actually happy whatever like people you know if I send you this fuck them kids it was very much but that's what I thought yeah that's exactly what I thought oh you hated over here with mommy so bad yeah go over there with your damn daddy then go over there with your damn daddy this out I'm about to be barefoot and wine drawn okay it's it's giving empty nest because her daughter's 18 and so I don't know what not if in the due go off to college or something but Halle like you know what actually I would love to clock out for these last five years and I'll see you on weekends nowadays bye little niggas I'm about to be in stirrup with a gentleman right I'm gonna be fucking my man all over this house um so yeah that situation he got a custody of a 13 year old talking crazy shit alleging that Halle was abusive and there was some incident where she I guess they got into it over a VR headset like he was playing a game on a meta quest or something and then like Halle allegedly hit him or did something like that he the son um I guess said that he wanted to speak in the custody case so they have like a closed thing with him so Halle and his father could not be there for that obviously no one is going to discuss what was said in that part of the hearing because he's a kid um either way it ended with his father Olivier Martinez getting a custody of the kid and Halle Berry walking home to probably eat some ice cream and get it my new life yeah I mean and it's just physical custody that she doesn't have she still has joint legal yeah but you know this often I'm not gonna the whole domestic abuse allegations seem kind of ridiculous so I'm really not gonna give too much entertainment to that but it's very common for teenagers to decide that they don't want to be with them I would know more and things would be so much more chill at daddy's house and dad lets me stay on the game all night and dad doesn't this and this and this and it's like you know what as long as that man ain't abusive as long as you're not worried about whether your son your child will live or die at that man's house let them go with a damn daddy if they think it's gonna be that much better let them go I think she was she was smiling cuz that you know temporary restraining order or whatever was denied and dissolved so it was like girl don't play with me but right right right his daddy wanted and he want to go to his daddy house so you know what peace you go right the phone mommy will see you for Christmas gone over there and and live off of smell theory love you so much I love you down because you just 13 and 13 year olds think they know every fucking thing so mommy will love you mommy love you a lot but I'll see you I'll see your black ass in decimble yeah but where you will finally have water again cuz you're gonna be doing nothing but drinking calipso where you at that man's house so have had it yeah you think it's all fun and game she's just riding vespas all over daddy's house not thinking about nothing important fuck school fuck vegetable's okay all right we'll see right they do we want to go over to daddy house so that he just let them fall see watching HBO max them we've over here watching obli and yeah girl they romanticize the parent that they don't live with because usually the custodial parent has real rules and structure and boundaries
and the other parent can feel like a vacation. But let me tell you something, going to Cabo for two weeks and living in Cabo is two different things. But you go find out. You go find out. Let's talk to Miseo in 10 years and see how he feels, man. Yeah, yeah. Olivia apparently wants Halle to also pay $240,000 in legal fees. Or what? Why? Why? He doesn't have the means to pay them because he only received $776.34 a month on average and residuals of income. Well, maybe you should have hired a cheaper lawyer. Who told you to get the most expensive, baddest bitch lawyer? He already owes 176,522 dollars and 58 cents in legal fees. But he wants another $63,477.46 and 42 cents to cover future legal fees. Oh, my God. That might be related to this particular battle. And his income and his income and expense declaration, he claims his estimated monthly expenses total $17,555 in 99 cents. And that he currently has 43,206 dollars and 22 cents in various different accounts. I guess like spread out. Right. That's whatever. But. Do you catch the math there? Yeah. Well, I'm trying. I'm trying to make it make sense because how is he bringing in $800 a month? Yep. But his expenses are $17,000 a month. Like surely other income is coming in from somewhere. It can't just be residuals from whatever he used to do. 'Cause no grown person can live off $800 a month without, you know, some sort of support. You need to be in somebody else's house with that little of an income. So I'm not. And how could he be? He's alimony. Who would be giving him sole physical custody if his entire monthly income was only $700. Something's not adding up here. Something. Yeah, something. I agree that I don't fully understand this. I'm just reading this off of tears. Okay. Well, there we go. But that's what I read this morning. He got $240,000. He more hard to cover, not just from this, but another 64,000 just in case. You have to do some shit in the future. Are you, are you okay? How about you call top dog law and see what them niggas can do for you and stay it? Hello? 'Cause there has to be cheaper attorneys out there than what you're doing. And who is taking on, no, there's another income somewhere because these lawyers wouldn't even be taking your case if they didn't think that they could somehow get their money. Yeah, I don't, there has to be something. Yeah. Some of the public comment and let us know, all here girl, here's the thing you missed. 'Cause when I read that, I was like, so you get $800 a month and that's it, which your expenses a month are $18,000? And how, how are you spending $18,000 and only making $800? Right. What the fuck costs $18,000? Yeah, there's some. Yeah, yep, we are. Kid Rock has a new album out called Halfway to Jesus. I'm gonna start there. I've said this before and I still believe it. I think it's been a while since we've done this, but you know, when you think about Satan and his history, and when you think about Satan's consistent determination and using faith as a means to manipulate so chaos and destruction in our lives, these people are demons. Like you know what I'm saying? Like because you can't say the things you say and to believe the things you believe and then also be like, you don't love God, right? What's wrong with you? Like that's not how any of this works. Halfway to Jesus in the name of the album, because of course, you know, he wants us to believe that you just love God. Here's a song called Heal My Faith, Jesus Alive, and then the song is him and Eminem. So a lot of people have been questioning why Eminem is doing a song with the racist Trump supporter. When he has openly, he's openly been anti-Trump, I think he even endorsed Abdul Said. - It missed again. - So the girls are like, well, what are you doing? And he said he basically said that it's not, this isn't a political thing. It's just two old friends making a song together. Eminem, you know, better shut your ass up. This man called you for favor. He's like, I need celebrities that people have heard of on this album. Would you, you know, remember that favor you owed me? - Yeah, call it in. - Come in and yeah, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna go ahead and call that one in. And I listened to this song. - Oh no. - Just because I felt like I let me have contacts. And I fought myself 'cause I didn't wanna give him a number. But I went to the YouTube, to the lyric video. This is, that is you think that it is. Maybe worse. - Yeah. - Worse. Especially when you consider the fact that there is a choir singing over the chorus, which of course, feel my faith, halfway to Jesus. And that the choir is entirely AI. - Oh. - Shut up. - No. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yes. - AI Choir. - And a verse from Eminem where he's basically saying, listen, yes, we got, I'll do it, I'll say it. And, you know, Flint needs water. But, when I was broke and nobody in 1997, and I did my first job, Kid Rock came. And he was like, hey man, you got spunk and you have bigger. And you're going some places. And then I got signed a drain. And then we ended up both living in California and the same apartment complex. And we're just two old friends that love whiskey and hating white bitches. And like, it was like the whole verse. I'm not even the whiskey in, and white bitches, the part where I'm joking, everything else is something he literally said in this verse. So the absurdity of the song goes a step further. When you listen to his verse and he's essentially saying, the reason I'm doing this is because when I was nobody, he came to a show and showed me love. And we've been friends for 40 years. - Got it. Okay. Well. It's almost like he knew that simply appearing on this album was going to cause a lot of backlash. And so he was like, let me put in the verse why I did this. - It's exactly what I'm saying. - Oh, well, I mean. - Courage. - Eminem is still a white man at the end of the day and I don't put nothing past them. So. - I thought the same thing too. - I guess, but when you said that. - Like I wasn't super shocked. - Yeah. - He was like, huh. - Right. But an album called Halfway to Jesus, that to me, that sounds like Halfway dead. I'm like, what are we saying here? One foot in the grave? Like what, you might as well call it one foot in the grave. You might say, that's a great point. - Is it called combatose? What do you mean? Halfway to Jesus. Like Halfway on the way to see him. Or Halfway to being him. - Way house. - What are you saying? Here rock is an idiot. - And see, I don't care enough. I'm not going that far. Like I'm not going to investigate the meaning. - What does this mean? - Because the devil. - And I don't even want to get to it. - That's probably what it means. - Yeah, yeah. - I'm Halfway to Jesus. The other half is my father, Lucifer. He owes above. - Is that not just being on Earth? - Exactly. For now. - Okay. You know what? - Until I go and meet my hellish father, the dark one. - The King of the Flames. - That's the guy. (laughing) - It was time beast. - So yeah, that's ridiculous. Chris Rock says that he will not be going back to the Oscars unless he's invited or would rather he double down on this. - What? - Who the fuck thought, God? I hope Chris Rock is at the Oscars. I don't associate him with acting. Oh, wait a minute, I'm thinking Kid Rock. (laughing) - Oh, that's fair, that's fair. That's fair. I didn't even think about that. (laughing) That one might be on me. - Nigger, when I tell you I was a fuck off. - Yeah. - Okay, never mind, Chris Rock. Right, the Nigger, comedian. - Yeah. - So he got the shit slapped out of him. Right, right, right. Okay, okay.
I'm back. I'm back. Yeah, he's not going. Okay. Well, not unless he's nominated for something. So I don't know if he's going Well again Why did he say why he just don't feel like it? Because he got slapped in the shit and the Oscars, but he wants to move on from it. The person who smacked him is banned for like a decade That's what I said, but apparently he's just tired of being a associate. He wants to be in room from the narrative. Oh, well He said on a An interview with G you Whatever happened happened everybody saw it. I don't really like talking about it I don't see a need for it and that the I don't see a need for it is going back Something happened. It wasn't cool. I'd like to move on. I had a nice career before it I know this is part of that that will follow me for the rest of my life But you know, he goes on to say that he has books and scripts. He's working on jokes He just want to move on without constantly being looked at about the absolute fuck slapped out of him right on In front of all of us. Yeah, we all saw it So yeah, and then I think he also like slightly implied that you he was like this is really all award shows or like any award show or something I was like, no, that's not the fucking day. Right. They call you the host to be an agent Right, you're not trying to go back there because that is touching. Yeah, and he didn't even say I had a nice career before it I mean This is Yes, you got slapped, but you got slapped because of your words. You didn't just get slapped out of nowhere like Thank you. The slap was a consequence to what you did and whether it was fair or right is highly debatable And I've already said many times how I felt about that So I'm not gonna get back into it. But I also think that Chris Rock could have simply just never gone back to the Oscars And I would have never noticed I Think you talking about not going back to the Oscars is bringing it up and putting yourself back into the narrative so to speak More than you simply not going would have done like would we have even really noticed brother? I think yeah, I think you could have referenced to again We've had two or three Oscars since then right at least Right has they've been to it's been I think it's been two or three years since that since the slap so you could have just not gone And we probably wouldn't have noticed until Will Smith was eligible to go back and then everybody But shout out to you for bringing it up Yeah, I happen on reminding every had been March 27, 2022. Yeah, four years ago damn time flies when you're not thinking about that nigga Yeah, all right. Thanks for reminding us I guess Yeah Also making me feel like you'll never be Oscars again period You mean host he won't host again or he said he's not going at all unless he's nominated. Oh Okay, well, so then right because what would you be nominated for? That's a great question I'm unless he like directs produces writes something phenomenal. Yeah, oh Almost says Shrek, but that's Eddie Murphy. Haha, it sure is I think I'm making it working on another one Yeah, and that's what I'm thinking. Oh, maybe he'll get nominated for Shrek, but that is Eddie Murphy sure is so never mind Everybody still hates Chris. I don't know that would be an Emmy Movie our Golden Globe right right because that's not that's not getting at the actual release but no All right, thanks for letting us know Chris last but not late last but not lame last but not least I'm love that I Have been yawning all day Every day for like four days, and I think that's my body saying girl go to bed Forties coming up. You need to start scheduling that Like just accept it. Yeah, stretch in the morning so that you can be mobile. Oh my god. Yes Stretching is so important as you age. You like wait. I actually need to do this now. I can't just hop out of bed and go like I Like I really do like you're like what's going on with my hip? Girl I have to do it now yeah I'll bend over to pick up my dog. It's not like a round of applause All your joints saying nah nigga fuck this is time to stretch is it the time change the time change to be your ass? Oh the sleep. Yeah, I think it was the it's the time change and and flying Oh Back in from From Nashville and and home spilling barely getting sleep then I'm just tired. So I have to take a nap Using that as an excuse for all of my my blubbering today Savannah James has said that she's not going to be moving to New York with her husband LeBron As he is now playing for the 76ers. Well, I found out that he was moving to play in Philadelphia. I said He ain't uh No, he was finished No, you didn't LeBron James will not quietly retire LeBron James is going to have a retirement tour nigga He is going to like all next flowers next season Maybe not this one. I highly doubt it It's easy if he's gonna be playing for Philadelphia for at least two years I think he signed it to your contract. Didn't he? Yeah, yeah, so Well, Miss Savannah said good luck and God bless. Let me know how I'm Donnie and then retreating you over there. Right. Um, I'm not going Uh, Brony plays in Los Angeles. Mm-hmm, and she has another son that Bryce plays in Arizona. Yeah And their daughter is right right here. Right. This is where she goes to school This is where their friends and family and all of their community is like no, I'm not up rooting my life to go live in it We'll see you we need you on TV every day. We'll see you nigga Hey, you're LeBron James you could fly wherever you want to go at any time of day or night. So I wouldn't either Love New York, but no, I'm situated right here. I got a little girl to race. No. Yeah, Savannah said Uh She said like if it would if this were five years ago. Mm-hmm. I just said Zuri you'll it'll be fine. We'll make you get some new friends and school or whatever Yeah, it's like right now I'm on the ground being a monster these kids and it'll be difficult, but It'll be fine. Yeah, and like you said LeBron money right So anytime he wants to see his family, that's gonna happen. So it's not And you know, perhaps I'm problematic, but this sounds like an ideal marriage to me Where I'm home in my beautiful mansion by myself drinking wine and enjoying my baby 24/7 while my husband goes off and makes more millions for me to spend what And he gonna be gone all year that nigga not gonna be done till next spring summer. Oh, oh, yeah Oh yeah, that sounds I deal I deal nigga and it's LeBron. So you know Whatever team they were they literally could not finalize the NBA schedule until they knew what team LeBron was gonna be on Because whatever team he's on that it's getting priority scheduling for every major holiday. So that is Right right like The next in their season opener played the Sixers partially because you know a rematch of the Of the playoffs, but because LeBron James plays for the fucking Sixers. So Matt Savannah is living a dream life if you ask me I wouldn't go either what no, I'm rubbing my pussy all over the floors and enjoying my When I tell you over there enjoying the hell out of myself anyway, gotta look at that man You ain't gotta let him lay on top of you and do whatever he want to do Just towering around the house Just big-ass feet grocery build on went up $5,000 a month every time that nigga come home. No, fuck Hey, you know that Zuri just be eat play it just jumpin off his shoulder and just like all the His back and shit right This is why I didn't come right Right it ain't eight TVs on when you not when you not here nigga my home is peaceful Works event. I'm jealous girl Same uh, that's gonna be it for our hot tops you didn't talk Chris the Marco I did it you do it you don't even know who that is Yeah Sure do and so excited to hear what you have to say about it because I Not stop talking about it you literally have no idea what I'm talking about but I just want to say Not only was yesterday so great because you know all the amazing election results But we started the day off with the New York Liberty announcing that they have fired head coach Chris I've never watched a WMBA game before to Marco. We got that white bitch the fuck on up out of here And when I tell you a genuine
and joy possessed my heart when I saw this news. I floated throughout the streets of New York City all day. Men saying hello, I'm saying hello back. Man, lady, just heart willing to daycare, baby. I was on, I legit think yesterday might have been the best day of the whole fucking year for me. I mean, start to finish. It was elite because that man never had no goddamn business being our head coach in the first fucking place. So I'm very glad that the Liberty said, you know what? Staying on the wrong train even longer is not gonna get you to your destination no quicker. We might as well tuck this bitch off right now, turn around and get back on the downtown 'cause we've been going uptown for no fucking reason. Like it's time to turn around and get it to where it is the fuck we supposed to be. So, may I humbly suggest that we hire a woman. - Start there. - A black woman preferably, but I would love a woman or just somebody who has watched the WNBA before somebody with extensive coaching experience in women's basketball. I think the recommendations of Renika Hodges and Kara Lawson are probably my favorites, but you know. - Or Larsson could have host them. - Love that, love that that's, you're so gay. - Yep, it's our Lawson. That's who I said first, sure, sure, that's who I said. - But yeah, I just, a real joy. I started my day off. I, it just felt like, you know, God does do nice things for us sometimes. God really do be coming through at times. And you know, we had to wait until the whole season was over. We had to wait until the Valkyrie sold that shit up and, you know, they finna have they parade for the liberty to come right out and say it, but hey. Delayed, not denied. Crystal Marco is the fuck I'm not here, bitch. - I remember when you read the fuck I didn't have them. So I know that this means a lot. - It does, it does, it does. This shit means something to me, it do. Because when I tell you I was just thinking the other day, now when is the best time for me to design and order my fire, Crystal Marco shirt? I was literally thinking about it because I meant it when I said I was gonna wear that to every home game next season. And now I don't have to. - Well, I can get like a Crystal Marco piece out. - You know, you can get something else that's petty. - I won't be bringing that negative energy into our place of worship. - That's fair. - Well, that's fair. - So, but thank you, thank you, Big Jonathan. Thank you, Big Clara. Let's hire somebody who knows what they're doing this next go round. Thank you. - And Cleveland sirens marches back on the market. - But that's just for you. - Yeah, that's for me, that hoodie. - No, they're already coming out the gate with some incredible marketing and team branding. So, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do once they're here. - That's gonna be it for our hot tops this week. We're gonna take a break and come back to read your letters. All right, folks. We have returned and it is now time to read your letters. - Indeed, ginger questions to
[email protected]. We may read them a lot on the show. We have a few updates this week. - The first one comes from Nika. If you remember, Nika emailed us because she found out that her maternal grandfather was not her biological grandfather and when she showed her grandmother DNA test results, her grandma said, how about that? - Oh, I do remember that. - And she was like-- - I thought that was wild. - That was. - So, she was like, you know, should I tell my mama blah blah blah. And so, she said, hey, if you're in crystal, thanks for reading my letter and forgiving me that final push to go ahead and tell my mama. My sister and I ended up telling her together and it was very underwhelming. She didn't really have any strong feelings and all she said was, why would you ask your grandma to ask embarrassing? I also told my aunt who said she had an inkling that my grandfather wasn't her biological father when she was a kid. She said that she remembers his aunt referring to her and my mom as Mary's girls. It seems like that was something the older generation probably just agreed to keep quiet. Neither my mom nor my aunt want to ask my grandma about it but they have both agreed to meet my uncle. My aunt even asked me to pass along her phone number to him. I felt terrible that my little half price DNA test on earth is 67 year old secret. But I guess I was stressed out for no reason. Thanks again for your advice. Love y'all down, Nika. Sounds like they already knew, right? It does, it does sound like. And they were like, here go y'all with your new fangled technology and your science. Like me mom didn't talk about that for a reason girl but yeah. Can't keep nothing in my house. Glad it worked out. I love the things. I love it. She said it was underwhelming because it reminds me of people who be watching. Motherfuckers on social media and be like, "React harder." Like if they're watching something and they just, then you like give an underwhelming reaction or response or you don't care and they're just disappointed because they expect you to explode. Right. That's what it sounds like when you said underwhelming. But. Yes, I agree. So glad it worked out though. I'm glad it was a rather underwhelming than an overwhelming so. Yes, I agree. We also have an update from who, what was her name? Laney Nicole, don't start. Please don't start with me. The lady who emailed us about her niece and her sister. And she was like, my sister is an old-fashioned Miami bar who don't be giving a fuck. And she made my niece feel uncomfortable. She's got her name here as Kadija. So I think it was related to living single. Yeah, I remember that one. So she wrote back and said, oh my god, I understand now. Having your letter read on the read sent me into the stratosphere. Thank you for choosing my letter. It is so greatly appreciated. Wow is correct. My sister has always been a piece of work. On one hand, she can be very bubbly and joky, which speaks to the childish side of her when it comes to her being very immature and lacking self-awareness and having a genuine inability to have real conversations for real solutions. Deflecting and victimizing herself is second nature for her. We actually spoke on the phone this past weekend. And I tried to get her side of the story as far as what happened at homecoming. When I asked her how things went between her and Tasia, she says she thinks Tasia is embarrassed of her and wants to make her look like a bad person. I asked her what she meant. And she said, while I was talking to Tasia's boss, who was with her while she was working the game. And because I asked her boss a question that might have seemed ignorant, Tasia waved me off and told me to go away. Now, mind you, Tasia did tell me that she said all this, but also said that my sister was laughing when she said it, which is exactly what Tamara does all the time when she says mean things in a funny way. However, Tamara also takes it personally when it's convenient for her to take it personally like she's doing now. Of course, she made no mention of how she used that moment to make that statement about losing one child while another one treats her like shit. She always leaves out the part that makes her look bad anytime she's telling a story and the conversation had to end after that. I got off the phone quick because if I said anything else, I would have revealed that Tasia told me everything she really said and they would have blown up from there. However, you are both right until Tasia's ready to address her mother directly. I will continue to just be a good auntie and support system for her. I just hope to be there when she finds her voice and uses it to tear her mama ass up. She's going into law so I know it's only a matter of time. Thanks again, Tasia. And you right, girl, it is only a matter of time. That little girl will figure it out for herself. But yeah, you know how your sister is. So you're doing the best you can. We also have an update from Roxanne who emailed us about her man who only showers twice a month. And Roxanne said, "Hello, Chris Lincoln Fury. Luckily I got answers from my boyfriend before y'all read the letter on the show." I found out that when he was younger, his father used to time his showers because he didn't want the water bill to be high. So as a workaround, my boyfriend started taking birdbass to avoid being yanked out of the mid shower. I reminded him that he has grown now. - Mama. - Yeah, and you know what? I'm so mad that trauma never occurred to me, but. - Same. - I reminded him that he's grown now and he can take as many showers for as long as he wants to in his own home. We've been good ever since, and he has been showering regularly since I expressed how bothered I was in my room. Thanks for reading my letter Roxanne. Hey man, of course it was Prama. Of course it was. - I'm so mad that we did not think of this. - Right, like, never occurred to me that maybe had a trauma around bathing and showering and that sort of thing. But of course, your cheap ass daddy beer, like you got two and a half minutes take your ass in that shower, like. So. - You're a fuck these kids. - Will. - Be careful. - Will. - 'Cause how you in your forties now, still watching yo dick at the sink because of what yo daddy did 30-something years ago. - Trauma! Trauma will do that to you. - And it's like, of course you don't want the water build to be high. You don't want to run up things, but like, timing your kids in the shower. - And also the water build is the cheapest fucking bill. You can eat all the water. That should be $40 at the most. Like, girl. - And most children don't want to take that long to heal anyway. - Right. So yeah, you all really got to watch how you talk to these kids, but I'm very glad that y'all had the conversation. And.
He told you he was able to identify where it really came from. Yeah. And you could give him that reassurance of, well, you're grown now. And I personally would rather pay a $300 water bill and have a man who don't wash his ass. So. And now I don't even question his race. And she didn't even tell us his race. I'm assuming he's black, but now I am. It don't matter now, right? You don't like you. Imagine she was listening to this letter after getting the information. He's just hearing us be like, what the fuck is wrong with his dirty hands? But she must be white. No, and why do we get? We got some letters from white people who were like, not even us. Oh, like, no, wait a minute, not not too much, but they were like, no, we, we get our asses in the tub. But of course it was trauma. And I'm glad y'all were able to work through it and figure it out all as well. That ends well with that one. All right. Everybody, this is my son. You just can't keep it going and Lincoln's just so used to your shit. It's just me like, yeah, here we go again, doing dumb shit, baby. All right. Our first letter this week comes from OB who says, hi, Chris one kid, Fury. I'm a black trans man in my late 20s living in Atlanta. I've been on and off with this girl 80 for four years. We have a lot in common. We share similar hobbies and interests and we compliment each other very well when everything's good. She is someone that I know I'd be happy to spend the rest of my life. However, of course, I'm very well known in the queer community here in Atlanta because of the work I do. And 80 is not a fan of my past, especially when it comes to women. I've been in a lot of different scenes since I moved to Atlanta. So I've met a lot of people along the way. Since I identified as a lesbian before I transitioned, most of my friends and acquaintances are women. Most of these women I've also flirted with in the past, swiped right on a dating app or met at a party or through a mutual friend. But only three have been something more like a date or a kiss. The issue that I'm having is that I love the attention that I get from women. And since I've transitioned, I now get it from men and other gender diverse people, although I'm only attracted to women, I love all the attention. I'm constantly getting hit on, but I see it as flirtatious banter. Sometimes I play into it, but it's never romantic and it never leads to anything physical. I don't even take 80 to my work events or parties anymore because I know she'll get upset and question me about all the women I don't introduce her to. She thinks I'm keeping the door open with those women. But most of the time, it's because I don't think the person is even relevant enough to introduce to her. I do love 80. I see a future with her and I plan to propose next year, but also feel bad about enjoying all this attention I get from other people, which is why I'm uncertain about moving forward with our relationship. I think it's possible that I'm not truly ready because of this guilty pleasure, not because I want to date anyone else, but because it doesn't seem fair to her feelings. The all think it's true that I'm not ready for a more serious relationship. Could my problem really be something else? Thanks for any advice you may have. O B. O B. Yeah. Sit 80. 80 is in like a D I E or a D I number. A D I. Hopefully that's a fake name and not that girl's real name. Okay. So I really want to know what he does. Which is he a promoter? That's what I was thinking. Yeah. It's giving. He's a promoter. It's giving LGBTQ party promoter because why do you know all the guys? Um, right. And now he's like part of your job. Right, right, right. This one is saying it's like something in night life. Yep. Promoter DJ something and entertain something. Yeah. Of course. And and Flirty comes Flirty comes with that or as a part of it. But it's like you're saying you love the attention. And even, um, after transitioning, you have people who you're not even attracted to who are attracted to you and you live. Which reminds me. There are a lot of people like this. Like this is very funny. Straight gay, transist, black, brown, indigo. This is very destined. I think, um, the only thing that makes me go, um, Opie is the fact that you're even asking this. And you're because he didn't say like, did he say that she's like, she, she hates it and they argue. Well, he said that she's not a fan of, you know, everything to do with the women because there is sortation involved. And that 80 thinks, you know, he's trying to keep the door open with these girls. Like, you know, got to got to kind of keep them on the back burner. Okay. All right. That makes sense. Yeah. Um, Oh, and he don't want to stop because he fucking loves. Right. And he loves it. That's the, that's the part from me, right? Is how much you love the attention. Also knowing that 80 is not a fan in quotation. Right because that is like, Sir, I don't know if, if you are minimizing it. Maybe a little bit with not a fan. She is. She hates me while 80 is like, I will burn this house. You stop taking hard to work events because of how much you flirt and you don't introduce her to none of the hoes. I think if you were more willing to introduce her to the ho, she wouldn't feel so insecure about it. And you like, but they're not even relevant enough to meet her. That's not the point. The point is that you don't go around saying, Hey, y'all, I'm taking, I'm in a serious relationship with somebody else. Exactly. That's where you're fucking up. Yeah. Oh, it's just a candle like this is a barbie of cable. Please don't bring this is a situation though that, especially if I know that you do something where it's going to be hosing your face and such, I'm not that type of person who feels like I'm going to be upset because you're in an environment that you were probably flirting right before we started talking dating, getting together anyway, right? I'm not just not that person who's going to be sick. I don't even like, especially if I'm with you and a nigga flirt with you. If I know we going home together and I don't have anything to be insecure about, really, yes, literally, my nigga is bad. Like getting into, but you hit the nail on the head for me, which is. So what is it giving? Why you, you know, like, here's a love of my life that I'm interested in getting married to next age and such, but you like it. You can like the attention. But what are you doing with that attention? How are you maneuvering around it? Because it's one thing to like that that people find you attractive. It's another thing to want those people to feel like you're single. Yeah. Exactly. Because you can flirting can be like part of your job or your public image while you're very publicly married or in a serious relationship with someone else. That's called being charismatic. I was going to say that it's just, it's very popular. Look at Barack Obama. You're charming. Yes. Right. Barack Obama is a perfect example of like somebody who a lot of women find attractive. And he might give you a little eye contact and a little banter, but we all know who he going home to and it's never been to be nothing for real. And we all know that. So you've never seen Michelle Obama cut in her eye at home. Because what do she have to worry about? Right. Because she is fully a bad bitch in her own right. But also we don't, you know, it ain't no skulking around Barack trying to act like he really single and they ain't got a wife and two kids at home. Like it's none of that either. Like I think you making this problem worse for yourself, but I'm not being open about the fact that this is your partner and this is something. And the fact that you don't want to stop, you don't want to change anything you doing. That's why I think you're not ready for something more serious with this girl. Cause you like exactly. Yeah. I would rather people think I'm single. I would rather you, if you would rather that, then please let this girl go find somebody who can be serious about her. Absolutely. Absolutely. Because I'll tie with it bitch. You could still, you could claim your lady and be locked arms and arms with her every time you work and how still going to flirt with you? Oh, yeah, me. Like it's not like I'm flirting with you every time you find that's what I'm doing. But it don't mean I'm a fuck you, but I'm definitely going to flirt with you. If you look good, that's all there is to it. Girlfriend or no girlfriend and I'm going flirt. It can be just that if you, but you, you, the person in a relationship, you have to be sure that everybody knows this is your girl and the surface level flirting is.
as far as this gonna go. Like it's not real. This is me being charming to get y'all to come to the parties 'cause this is my job. The more you niggas come to the parties and buy up shots and get bottles and sections, the more money I make. But. Ciao. - Lord, oh be. - I don't know, there is like, and I understand with men, especially, there is this, you know, I take my ring off when I go to the parties. You know, like, I know that this is very prevalent in men. But you talk about you wanna get married or engaged next year, and also, I want the host to not know or think that I'm getting, you wanna be single. - And you get attention from everybody. Gender diverse people, men, women, everybody love OB, everybody wanna fuck OB. And you just like, you know what, hell yeah, keep it coming. Then you're not ready to be for real with this girl. Don't propose. I dare say y'all might even need to part ways 'cause it doesn't sound like you're in a place where you're ready to prioritize your relationship, knowing that a few people might be like, oh, I don't really have a shot with him. So, you know, maybe I won't get that extra shot of Belvedere or whatever. So, like, yeah, yeah. I think you should cut this girl loose and live your homosexual, trisexual, heterosexual, whatever it is you're doing and it let them live them dreams, they'll feel this. Enjoy yourself. - I know those are trans men, family, have two puberty. I don't know how, like, how far along you are in your journey. - Right. - But I do constantly hear about that process or hormones and things. - Yeah. - Taking the puberty out. - I have, and not, you know, you bringing that up reminds me that I have dated a few trans people and one in particular had just started hormones. - Yeah. - And that's second, this nigga was like a 13 year old boy at all times. - Yeah. (all laughing) - Every description I get, like, off of me. - Yeah. - So, yeah, maybe that's where you are. - I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what that's this. - Right. - It just sounds like your one of those guys was just like, "Oh yeah, yeah, that's fine." - Hey, night. - I'm here. - That's so good, don't forget about me. - My public. - All right, OB, let us know what you decide to do. Our next letter comes from Bianca who says, "Hey, y'all, I just turned 30 and I came out to my family as a lesbian 10 years ago. My family is very religious and conservative, so needless to say, this was not a smooth process. I'm still close to my siblings, but my mom pretty much avoids the topic altogether. She's made it clear in her own ways that she loves me regardless, but my dad took it really hard and we only talk through my mom. Last week from my 30th birthday, I hosted an intimate dinner party and invited my family, some close friends, and my girlfriend of over a year. My family traveled to be at this dinner party and they've never met anyone I dated, so I wanted the visit to be perfect. The day of the party, everything was running smoothly. My girlfriend came after work and was the last to show up. I immediately noticed that she changed her usual tire from Lynn from girlfriends to something that was more like retired WNBA player, but she looked great, so no complaints from me. As the night went on, she became very affectionate, which is not something we typically do publicly. She went from holding my hand, to massaging my shoulder to trying to kiss me at the dinner table. I was uncomfortable because my siblings and I do not show PDA around my parents regardless of our sexual orientation. When my family left, I asked my girlfriend what was up with all the changes. She said it was important to her that I don't try to conform in front of my parents and that we should not try to make them comfortable by presenting straight. I explained that my intention-- - Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. - Okay. - I explained that my intention was just to be myself and that her actions threw me off. She said that we should be proud of who we are and she's worked too hard to appease people who have internalized homophobia. She also said she felt rejected when I turned her down for a kiss. I feel conflicted because I can see where she's coming from, but I do kind of want to make my family a little comfortable. I recognize their growth in even coming to this party and I want them in my life. Is that such a bad thing? Despite them liking my girlfriend or at least being warmed towards her, I did not see my girlfriend for the rest of their visit and we've hardly spoken since. - Damn. - What do y'all think I could have done differently and how can I move forward with my relationship? Love you both, Bianca. - Interesting. - Isn't it? - I just don't know why your girlfriend felt like that was the time or place to go on this mission. - Am I bugging? - 'Cause it's-- - Yeah. - Like I get it and I fully agree and understand her point. But I get you coming from too. - Yeah. - I also get like the getting turned down for a kiss I understand feeling rejected and probably super awkward in that moment. - Yeah. - Because your head space is yeah, we're not doing that internalized homophobia. We're not going to conform for whoever. We're going to be out and proud and loud regardless. - Gay. - Yeah. - And Bianca's like, we get just lower on voice. We're not going to feel it. - Wow. - We're not going to be quiet. Inside voice. What do you think? 'Cause I mean, I get both of them. I just think it's a choice to be like, I'm gonna do it on my time in your place. - Right. I think that the fact that she deliberately switch things up to make things as gay as possible is what would make me uncomfortable. Because yeah, we don't have to be in the closet. We don't have to present as straight but we don't have to put on a fucking, you know, this isn't a drag race performance either girl. Like this is supposed to be just my 30th birthday party, intimate dinner party with the people I care about the most. Like we don't, we don't have to be gay, gay, gay, gay, gay either 'cause we don't normally do gay, gay, gay, gay, like. - Right. - If y'all always smooched at the table and always was holding hands and touching each other all the time, that would be one thing. But putting it on to make sure everybody is like, being confronted with your homosexuality. That's what feels weird to me. And I get her rational behind it that like, you know, we should be proud. I'm not going to piece. People who have internalized homophobia but that also sounds like that's her journey. Like that sounds like maybe her family is a lot like your family. And so she felt like she had to do, you know, extra gay to just put it in faith. Make sure y'all know it's gay over here. Like we know it, we know it's gay over here babe. And ultimately it's still your family. You didn't ask her to go into the closet. You didn't ask her to pretend to be just a friend. Like, I don't think you were unreasonable in your expectations for the dinner. I also get, you know, her saying she felt rejected when you declined to kiss her. But I also understand not wanting to kiss my partner at a dinner table much less in front of my family. Like I don't have to do that if I was straight. You know, I already don't like to see people kiss. Makes me-- That's true, you do. Physically uncomfortable to see people kiss. You hate it. But when people I love are just in that, oh my god, starry eye, love phase. And they just want to smooch and all that. Like that, you know, it's fine. It's fine. I'm not going to throw up in your house faces because y'all decided to do that. But if that's not what y'all are normally doing, then it's like, why are you putting on for these people? Exactly. It's weird in a different way. Like, I'm not asking you to pretend to be straight. I wasn't asking to present straight. I was asking us to be ourselves. Why did we have to turn up the homosexuality to the max when we don't usually do that? You came here in basketball shorts. I mean, I would be-- Live it. I would be live it. Damn. Even negative this to me, like pissed. Because I'm in a similar situation where my parents have like, we've acknowledged it. They have accepted it. I've even heard stories of my father standing up for me in conversation. Oh, nice. But I also know that seeing it like, oh, you know, let's just imagine that some nigga blows my mind and shifts the tectonic plates and somehow I'm like, I want you to meet my family. I'm not going to be super. I don't do PDA in general. Like, I'm not even going to be like, outside, kissing you, making out in the park. Like, I saw these two people do it yesterday. I was like, well, I'm walking link. It's just-- that's not my tea in general. But I'm also-- I wouldn't want to do that in front of my parents. Even if they thought it was cute. But that's how I am. Now, if I'd bring a nigga back home or my family come out here, we're going have dinner for my 40th and
you know, this nigga who just presents the way that they, you know, we'd normally do which queens or whatever. And then at dinner, you have a full bus down wig and like, you know, I'm saying bronze or something like that. Like, no, they need to know that, you know, punk's have feelings. I would be like, we don't, but it's like they know, they know that we gay. They know that you're my man. Like, let's me, these niggas have, wait, I don't even wear no crazy ass wigs or anything unless I'm, you know, podcasting with you. Right. And then you, all of a sudden are a bad bitch. I mean, I am without the wigs. Oh, right, right, right, right. Remind the girls that I can't do it is my wig. Okay. Not right now. But yeah, I think that it would, um, it would be something that really, really angers me. But it's something that I would, I would still work to, uh, to figure it out and get on the same page, calm my ass down and things, because it's not like it's a, a ridiculous wild, um, unnecessary approach or thought process. And I think that you also made a good point about what her family situation is, you know, and, and how, how she was brought up what her experience is like with her own family and that might, you know, have something to do with her choices here. But it's like, girl, this isn't drag races. It's not what would you do? Like just pull up as Lynn. Right. I mean, and that's, I mean, and even if you wanted to come looking like Simone Augustus, that's fine. It's all the others. It was the, you know, the rubbing on the shoulders and things we don't normally do. Right. I mean, I, I do like, I think Bianca sees where y'all, both are coming from. And I also see where y'all are both coming from. But if, if she has an issue with you saying, you know what, I get it. However, this is my family. And I'm never going to try to hide you or diminish your role in my life. But I get to dictate how things go with my family, because it's my family the same way when we go see yours, you can dictate how things go because the, them is your people. As long as you're not asking me to disrespect myself or disrespect our relationship, I'm fine with letting you take the reins on certain things. And I'm not going to do stuff that's out of the ordinary of what we normally do to prove some kind of point to myself. Like this. Right. Not what this is. Yeah, we don't have to. Because I'm like, you trying to prove point to people who already know the point. Right. Like this, that was really just for your girlfriend. That whole, you know, the massaging and the trying to get a kiss and all that was all of that was for her to soothe her anxious mind. That's what that sounds like to me anyway. So I would be willing to have a conversation about it. But I think she should be able to accept that it's your family. And as long as you're not being asked to go back in the closet, you know, let me set it up. Let me, let me handle it. Like I had this planned out for how my family was going to meet this person that I've been with for over a year. We didn't need you to come in cart willing and talking about, you know, just doing things that you would not normally do. Everybody was invited here to be themselves. And I don't know why you decided to come in here and and put on the king died costume, but it wasn't necessary. I think you can have a soft launch with meeting the parents. You just come over. This is the partner. Don't you look great together. Hold hands such and such. And like progress to, you know, making out and whatever the fuck it else is right. You want to do. Cause I think that's how I would approach it. But first time that my family needs someone, I would just be, hello, you know, at most, maybe cuddled while we watched the bad Santa or whatever the fuck that movie was. That one right, man. The rock was like Santa's bodyguard or something. We watched that last Christmas. I think I actually enjoyed it because I just was watching movie with my parents. Got you. I'm not going to be, you know, giving Bridgerton with this nigga. Like for the, the sole purpose of being like, we're, we're here and we're queer deal with it. Like I'd be like, well, yeah, we know you were queer since, I don't know. And you are here. Yeah. I agree. I think if you all normally held hands at dinner and massage each other and smooched and all that and then all of a sudden you were like, no, we can't do that in front of my parents. Your girlfriend would have a lot more of a leg to stand on here. Yeah. But I can also understand dialing it back a little. The first time you meet your partner's parents, like, yeah, this is their first time meeting you. How about we just all right, babe. We don't ever sit on the same side of the booth. So what are you doing? Give me that. All right, Bianca. I hope you all are able to have a productive conversation and work things out. Let us know how it goes. We're going to wrap up the listener's right there. Again, if you have a question for us, send us an email, ask the
[email protected]. We'll be right back. Okay, folks, we're back. It is time for the read. I'm just going to start by saying, um, biracial's not a race. Uh-oh. Biracial's not a race. Mixed is not a race. Um, and I think that there are quite a few of you who need to acknowledge and accept that. Um, I understand. And I find it interesting. But usually the people who need to hear this are, uh, mixed people who were raised by a white parent. Uh-oh. Usually people who are biracial in black and white and usually they were raised by their white mama and they don't have a connection to blackness. They are not in any proximity to it. They might have also been raised to have a specific perspective on what it means to be black, especially black in American. And so many people, and not even just the, the mixed folks themselves, but people around them who love them or find them attractive or just dizzy as hell. Um, basically try to distance, uh, themselves or these people from their blackness by just saying, well, I'm not black, I'm mixed or I'm not black, I'm biracial. Now see, I think that what we should do here is we should break down this word. Okay. Right. Let's do it. So let's start with the beginning. The, the, the prefix. Prefix are prefix. Prefix? Prefix? Prefix? Are we talking fix? Oh, the prefix of buy. Okay. I was like, what do you mean starting at the beginning? Yes, the prefix. Yes. I'm which it's perfect. Well, I didn't know. I don't know. That's why I was so confused. I was like, are you trying to say preface like the, the beginning to a story, the intro part to a story or what was trying to be communicated? Because pre. Yeah. Because pre. Yeah. Anyway, buy two things in two parts, two of them. Yep. Buy. Yep. That's what it means. And then we move over to our sufix. So close. And the sufix racial race. So two races. You breaking it down. Mixed. A combination of these. So buy racial with your black and white ass means that you are two races by two different ones. So one of them would be white. One of them would be black. So you see how you're black. Do you see how you are black? Because that's one of the the buy race. Like, do you understand that you are black? No, let's also discuss the way you look, let's discuss the way that you look at the odds that if you are pulled over, sit in front of a judge, they'll try to go get a jamba juice that people are going to look at you as a black person, a brown person. People are not going to say like, Oh, well, they're black. They're by racial is not a word. I mean, it's not a race. No, and I've. - You think that, yeah, because definition. - Yeah, definition. - And so it's important for us to not only acknowledge that words mean things, but also that you trying to run away from any race, ethnicity, nationality, by just throwing a word up in the air that has nothing to do with what she's talking about. It just makes you look crazy, it makes you sound crazy to knee or to probably anybody who knows any better. And it also makes me feel concerned for you and whatever experience it is that you had because I feel like most people, if you were like, if you had a Caucasian parent and your other parent is like, I don't know, Puerto Rican or something. It's less of a like, well, I'm not Puerto Rican or I'm not, you know, Latino, I mix. Like, - Oh, look. - Why is it constantly the black experience that you're trying to run away from with their black ass? I don't understand it. So I think that there's nothing wrong with saying, I'm mixed, I'm biracial because you are. That is the shrew thing. But trying to say, well, I'm not black. I'm biracial, sweetie. Let's look at the word. Let's look at the meaning of the word. Let's look at the different parts of the word. Let's talk about what mixed means. Why are you having so much trouble? I don't hear that many biracial people say, I'm not white. I'm biracial. Now, I could understand why some of you would. - But nobody's confusing you off or just white 'cause you're not just white. Nobody's calling you white 'cause that's not how whiteness works. Once you're something else, you don't get to be white no more. You could take that up with white supremacy, but that's not our fault. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Anyway, I just thought that maybe some of you needed to hear that this week. - I wouldn't love to know who inspired this way. (laughing) - Nobody I know personally. - I was about to say, but you live in California. So it could be pretty much anybody out there. So. - So. - All right, so I want to pass my read this week. ♪ Has three I've used to ♪ - Delicious. - In an unusual way. So, I went to, I went to bed. Laney made me go to bed at 10 p.m. - Hey, well. - Because she had had enough. (laughing) - Yeah. - But I was really enjoying all the news coming in and nobody had even begun. Only 3% of the votes in Michigan had come in. So we were nowhere close to knowing what the Michigan races were gonna look like. And Laney was like, that's too damn bad. You can find out in the morning. - Yeah. - Well, this morning I did found that find out that Mr. Abdul El-Sahit or Mean Dami as the internet calls him because. (laughing) 'Cause he's Muslim with an attitude whereas mom, Dany, the extra nice city's crack is anyway. - At his watch party/victory party last night, he was joined, well, he's not actually in this video. The video is of Medi Hassan, Wajahat Ali and prom talker. And so this is three Indian men, or not Indian, three South Asian men, at this watch party for one of their brothers who is finna be the first Muslim Senator of the United States. And they start talking about Vivek Ramaswami. (laughing) - I haven't heard that name in a while. - Well, he lost to Amy Acton. I think was that Amy Acton? Oh, that he was in the race with. And he had come, I think he had put out some really terrible ad about, I think I might have talked about it on the show, but anyway, they talked about him. And somebody tagged me in this video of the three of them and was like, this deserves to be a past three. And normally y'all send me stuff like that, and I'd be like, whatever. But this, they chew that nigga up. So without further ado, I'm finna pull it up a notch out here. When I tell you, I screamed. - When you talk about the economy, talk about your runs. Let's talk about a race with none of those factors about it. - Before I resume it, I want you all to know the main person that you go here reading the fuck out of this man is Mr. Ali, Wajahat Ali, Mady Hassan is the host of this video. I think he was the host of the event. And then prom talkers also there, but the person doing most of the reading is Mr. Ali. - Okay, let us return. - Let's talk about a race with none of those factors about it, but it involves a dizzy friend of ours, a dizzy brother of ours. - No. - No, no, no, he's your brother. - I'm Blockassani. - He's your brother. - He's your brother, and he's your brother. - Hey, man, I'm proud. - I'm just talking about, hey, I'm just talking about TV. All right. - Can I just say this? - What's wrong with you? Why did he lose it Ohio? - Okay, I just have to say this by Vivek. There are three brown men here. Prem, myself, and Mady are South Asian men. I grew up in the Bay Area, Mady grew up in London. Regardless of where you are, we all grew up with a Vivek and a cash fatel. Vivek and cash fatels were those nerdy, dorky guys who desperately tried to be on the varsity football team, but nobody picked them. They picked them last. They were nerds. They wanted Jennifer to date them. Jennifer said, you're a dork. I'm never gonna date you. And they sat there and said, one of these days, I'm gonna make a lot of money, and I'm gonna have sex with a white woman. So Vivek Ramaswami made a lot of money. He frauded out with his family. Grud, did a pump and dump scheme. Got that little poop hair, and he thought the whites, oh, he thought the whites would take him. Fair and lovely, Prem. But the whites will never ever accept the Vivek Ramaswami. You think that one of the reasons he lost is white, Republican, Groy Potat said, we're not voting for Hindu Indians. Absolutely. He said, will you like me? And they said, never ever. He said, never ever. They said, never ever ever. So when it comes to M&M's, lose yourself. He doesn't need to-- He loves to do. He loves to replay it. Yeah, it just lose yourself, Vivek. You lost yourself. You played yourself. And I, as the ambassador of all South Asians, with the power vested in me, we hear by a renounce of Vivek Ramaswami and the warning. Do not pick them up off of waivers white people. Oh, my God. They hit that nigger with the-- he started putting a little poop in his hair and started using that fair and lovely bleach and cream. And all of a sudden, he think white people want him. We don't want you in. Crack a little while you need a bitch. I said, oh. That motherfucker said he wanted Jennifer to date him. Jennifer said, yeah, don't. Ouch. All of this in the pursuit of white right. That was so fierce. First of all, it's obvious that the men have been celebrating. And I would wager that Mr. Ali had been hidden at champagne. I was about to say, I literally was going to say that. But I didn't hear a lie. I didn't hear anything untrue either. That was a mistake. I said, we all know of a vehicle, OK? We all-- Tablet Street. Everybody has a name for their coons. And I guess for the South Asians, it's coconut. I know for the Asians, other regions of Asia. It's banana. Black people call us Oreos. But everybody's got a name for the people who are one color on the outside, but white on the inside. And when I tell you-- Oh my god, I just got it. You just got banana? Oh my god. And coconut. Oh my god. Oh, yes, yeah. Shit. You had to hear the Oreo for it to click. Yeah. Yeah. I said, wow, normally I'm so far outside of what, you know, daisy men or muslim men aren't doing. But when the three of them came together and said, we've been a drag the fuck out of this nigga. And remind him that-- Not only do we not fuck with you, the white people who's approval you so desperately want-- and you have to go look at this video. Because the face he makes when he says cash Patel, he does his eyes, like cash Patel's eyes, and it is so fun. If you think I'm not going to watch this a few more times. You want to get it, y'all, it's so good. I am going to watch this again. That was-- Oh, man. Beer. Yeah, it was. And it's nothing like being-- it's nothing like being dressed down by the people who know your type the best. Yeah, yeah. Bro, they struck straight through to the heart. I could have cut the vex out for 1,000 years and never hit as eloquently as that mentioned. That's the one that comes. That's the one that's-- He said, I know who you are. You're a fucking dork who thought all you needed to do was bleach your skin. And suddenly Jennifer was going to want you. She doesn't want fucking want you, bro. And she never will. All the money in the world. For the people who were voting. Like, they don't want you. They said, oh, you thought the money and the power and the fame would make you go away? You go away. You're still that little bitch, Vivek. Who fuck up here? Climbed in Play football. No one ever did. Man, there were so many incredible wins last night that we have.
we, I think we even completely forgot to talk about Abdul El Sayyid and this, you know, historic first Muslim Senator, I mean, because there were so many, and I'm sure there's a lot of people who left out, but, yeah, and, you know, the people have been thirsting over him for a while and, um, I also, so, like, because he's handsome, yeah, no, because he's fine. And because he's extremely smart. And so all of the debates, and every time he goes up against these people, and they're like, oh, but do you announce Hassan Piker? He's like, do you announce Jeffrey Epstein? Do you announce Donald Trump? Like, bitch, don't talk to me. When y'all got fucking child rapists in office, bitch, leave me alone. So, um, he, I think he's, he's really great for that. Um, and I just wanted to, that, that really, because they were having a ball. I wasn't even just like, they were, they were clowning him. Yeah. They were live on YouTube, uh, apparently all night last night, just streaming and having themselves a grand old time. So, um, yeah, shout out to, to Mr. Ali for that incredible read. Shout out to all of the Democrats and Democrat socialists who were elected to office last night. We're enjoying the winds now. But of course, the girls are going to have to lock in and actually get some work done. So, right. But don't think I'll be taking my foot off your necks because I won't. And I know a lot of people are disappointed in places like Florida for, not electing Angie Nixon for letting that black, mega, Byron Douglas, um, come governor and all this. Um, and I really can't talk because Oklahoma didn't, didn't really do no better. But I mean, I also don't think anybody expected that we absolutely still have a Republican supermajority. However, things are changing. Angie Nixon came within striking distance of that lady like she was this close. And she announced that she's going to be running in 2028. So, who knows what, what will happen over the next couple of years. And even in Oklahoma, five house Republicans were ousted and replaced with Democrats. Now granted that's in, I believe that's in Oklahoma County, which is where Oklahoma City is. Yes. And Oklahoma City and Oklahoma City and Tulsa tend to be our blue spots in otherwise ruby red state. But my friends hit me, my Oklahoma friends hit me in the group chat was like, girl, it was, uh, Lawton and Norman too. So it's like slowly, but sure. Yeah. And you can say the same thing. Like people have been saying it's about Georgia and Texas for years. Like, Oh, yeah, you got Atlanta, you got Houston, you got Dallas, but the whole state ain't never going to do it. The whole state ain't never this ain't never, never, never. Bitch, never has come. Never has come. Georgia and Texas are blue. Kansas and North Carolina and South Carolina and its Democrats all over the pitch were they never been Democrats before. So insane. It actually makes me want to seriously consider buying a house in Oklahoma and living there at least part time so that I can do some work to help change Oklahoma and make it more progressive. Because I mean, and not saying leaving New York, I adore New York, I can't imagine not having space here or, you know, a place here. Ideally, if anybody would like me to split the rent in both cities, you just let me know. So I can go back and forth as I please, but it really makes me want to get connected with the Democratic Socialists of Oklahoma and see what we can do to keep this going. Because what I saw in Texas and Georgia, I want that in Oklahoma. How Kansas get Kansas to the north directly to the north of us. I want that. We got Kansas to the top. Texas to the bottom. Both of these holes is turning blue and here we go. But we get in there. We get in there. It's starting to get a little published. The blue spots of Oklahoma City and Tulsa are slowly starting to see bound to the rest of the state. So I'm really thinking about it because I just I often asked myself like, why would I go somewhere or stay somewhere that so clearly don't want me? And that's still very valid. But that don't mean that the people there don't deserve better. And it don't mean that they don't want better. It's just a lot of times they don't know better. Like some of you are legit voting against your own best interests because you think these ads about, you know, get all of a sudden you're going to be forced to pick pronouns and sharia law and all me like, yeah, really fall for that dumb shit. So I want to get connected with people who are already doing the work and see how I can help. And you know, all that sort of thing. But it just made me think about that, you know, with the with the disappointment in Florida and Oklahoma. It's like, but look at Georgia and Texas. Nobody would have ever thought it of Georgia and Texas. And now there's a couple of times Florida has come close to purple. So I've thought the same thing like, yeah, because I would, I used to fly primary midterm. I would just fly out there and vote. I'm like, you girls need it way more than a New York or a California. And now I've been thinking the same thing like, I might need to just be boots to the ground out there and see what I can do outside of just voting. Right. To help push it. Right. Because you right. It's like, it's like, do you know how many motherfuckers are in Florida voting against their their best interests and making life worse for themselves? But they'd watch this ad about some ignorant shit. They don't make no sense that it's completely irrelevant untrue and does not affect them at all. But they're like, yeah, I'm in the vote for this fucking night. Because they hate drag lives. Okay. Well, perhaps we can convince you to hate spending $50 on three items at the grocery store even more. Perhaps we can convince you to hate $8 gallon gas even more like losing. Perhaps we could get you on an airplane without you having to pay five dollars to fly with a suitcase. And I mean, where they put the suitcases, not with your suit case. I bought my ticket home for Christmas. I almost called my mama to be like, girl, how about I just Face Thomas did? Like girl girl. No, it's way too high. It is way too high. I have a show at the improv there on the 20th. So thank God I will be there regardless. Oh, nice. Yeah. But this was a year that I was like, because these the flight. And you know, with all because of some bullshit war that Trump told y'all, he wasn't going to start and then turn it around his target. So yeah, I was legit like mommy. I've never missed a Christmas. However, I have been to every single Christmas. Right. However, this year, your girl really might not. This might be the one. It's too expensive. Like it's it's prohibitive for most people. And so I just I I'm feeling that this is that's what this election has done for me. These election results have energized me and given me hope for the spots of the country that I that it felt hopeless for. Yeah. So thank you to the all of the workers, the people on the ground. Stacey Abrams for planting seeds. I saw a post on Thursday as I said something like Stacey Adams planted seeds for a tree she wouldn't get to sit under. And that is so beautifully said. And it's the hallmark of a real organizer. Somebody who is really for the people who's like, it don't even have to be me. But I'm not going to stop pushing us forward. We needed Stacey Abrams to run and not win so that Keisha bottoms could run and win. So it is it is inspiring me to do more in the place that raised me. And I hope those of you who feel so inclined also use your time and money and energy and efforts to do the same because we can change things. Your vote does matter and we can have a world that looks more like the world we would like to have. But we do have to give a fuck and do something about it. So. And to that point, this that mentality and that little bit of hope is what well. And a lot of this shit could sound cliche if you really see. Yeah. Oh yeah. You know, but it's true that it there is a difference made when people are not just exhausted, but people see, oh, a lot of people feel this way. And we're making differences because we're accustomed to the evil and the foolishness. Beating hope out of us. So we just don't really want to be active. Don't feel like we're going to make a difference. So on. So mother fuck is actually getting up and being active and being like, oh yeah, I absolutely can change and get you dummies out of that seat. And yeah, I feel hopeful too. Yeah. It's a beautiful thing. And I want to take that hope and turn it into something meaningful. So well, again, shout out to all the people on the ground in states that a lot of people, especially the democratic, I don't want to say standard or the coast of the elites or the people who have always been the stronghold of the party. But in large part, they are not supported in
other places and it's kind of like, oh, well, we ain't gonna be bothered with Tennessee, we ain't gonna bother with Kentucky. Like, but it is possible all across this country. It is, look at how much, you know how much you have to fuck up to turn Georgia and Texas blue. - I'm saying both. - This is the same time. - Historic, historic, historic fumble on Donald Trump's part. It's never been this bad. So for him, and yet so good for the rest of us. So I hope you all find that inspiring the same way I did.
