Keys to the Heart

The transcript captures a vibrant, politically charged energy centered on New York City’s evolving identity and progressive movements. It celebrates the rise of inclusive leadership, particularly the historic election of Mary Sheffield as Detroit’s first female mayor, symbolizing broader progress in racial and political equity. The speaker expresses strong disapproval of political figures like Andrew Cuomo and Trump, who are accused of promoting exclusionary, Islamophobic, and elitist policies that contradict the values of community and affordability. There is sharp criticism of public figures such as Debra Messing and Nicki Minaj for perceived alignment with toxic political narratives and pro-Trump messaging, seen as damaging to public trust. The narrative emphasizes the strength of grassroots activism, especially among immigrant communities, and highlights the city’s resilience and cultural pride. It also reflects on moral hypocrisy in leadership, where political figures exploit or manipulate public sentiment, often under the guise of patriotism or tradition. The tone is defiant and hopeful, rooted in a belief that true progress comes from community-driven change, not political convenience. A recurring theme is the need for authenticity, humility, and accountability—especially in religious and civic institutions—where leaders who exploit others for image or control are exposed as corrupt. Ultimately, the piece presents a powerful call for genuine reform, solidarity, and the reclamation of values that prioritize human dignity over political power.

Well, hello there, welcome back. Welcome to November, specifically. How you doing? Doesn't matter. I'm a fire starter. Twisted fire starter. Oh, okay. I don't know what that is. And I am so happy to be a New Yorker today. Hooty hoo! You should be. And this is the read. Well, California did some good things as well. Oh yeah, I was going to get into that. But let's just first discuss, you know, shout out to Hope in these trying times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And shout out to the branches that God will extend to you. Come on. If you just keep your head high and trust him. So yes, first of all, shout out to the girlies who were like, you know what, I'm tired. And got out to do their voting thing. And shout out to the Democrats. Gathering things together. And also. So, specifically delightful for me, some places meeting the girls at a petty level. In a way that is just extremely necessary. So, I think like at the center of a lot of the Democratic, like the party idea and conversation and movement has kind of been right there in the city of New York. Yeah, I mean. For obvious reasons. It's just so special. And, yeah, I was very invested, although I don't live there anymore. I was invested in it for the city of New York and for the bigger picture. And so I'm very glad that throughout all of the messy and often hilarious hydrants of this election, you know, here we are in the truth of God's life. Yeah, amen. I saw a Cuomo truck yesterday that said. You accused us of being Islamophobic. We just don't want to see another 9-11 or whatever. And I'm like, so you doubled down on the Islam. Islamophobia, then. So that's what we're. Girl, I literally had. I was like, um, I feel like you bitches have lost the plot. Like, you. Slacked us. They could not. Lost ours. Baby. When I tell you Zoran beat that ass. He beat that ass. Ass. He whooped that ass. So much so that I think. Sweating. Even Sliwa's votes added to Cuomo still did not equal to what Mom Donnie brought in. It wasn't going to happen. I think they said he's the first candidate to get over a million votes since, like, 1968 or something crazy. Jesus, my God. We're simply tired of the status quo. Andrew Cuomo was going to be nothing but Eric Adams part two, except even worse. So, no, thank you, girl. We actually do want an affordable city. We actually do want immigrants to feel like they're welcome and home here, because they are. Wouldn't you know it. New York ain't shit without immigrants. America ain't shit without immigrants. Yes, they're welcome here. Like, how dare you try to bypass the very living necessity. Insane. and functioning quality that the Muslim community. So, the. imparted on New York City. The Islamophobia hasn't been so bad. It's just so stupid. It's been so bad. Debra Messing posted 96 stories on her Instagram the other day. There's something wrong with that bitch. I don't have any grace. I'm starting to feel like she on that Nicki Minaj shit. She was reposting Trump. I'm like, girl, are you. Have you. Who? Nicki? Debra Mess. Well, Nicki as well. Yeah, we're getting to that. We're getting to her. Yeah. But Debra Messing posted Trump on her stories. Yeah, I'm sure she's fully in. What?. in that bag. But now's the time. Yeah. Go on and reveal yourself. Because this president is such a capitalist and so, like, would you like some money? Yeah. Would you like a bit of money? Yeah. Would you like a. How bad do you want it? Yeah. Yeah. It's very much. What do you do for it? It's very much, she's turned it into Shark Tank. Mm-hmm. And is it the country? Right. And so then. Right. you know, a lot more of the girlies are like, oh, I like this bitch. Yeah. It's pretty gross. So, I think it is just. empowered more republicans and horrible people to be like yeah he's t because other girls it gives you know like the that metaphor uh like the penguins that stand at the end of the ice and they all look at that water together and then as soon as one jumps they're like okay oh so it is all right okay fine forgot we were built for this like is yes it's it's a weird thing that's going you can kind of see whose morals really fall where there's a lot of people can talk certain game but when shit really come down to it they capitulate um to those in power and i'm just so happy so i'm just thrilled to be in new york i woke laney up dancing she didn't give one hot nut fuck went right back to bed she was like she was like my new york is the same regardless i you have a responsibility right like anyway you're gonna pick up my poopies no matter what and when i say it's bedtime it's like it doesn't matter oh baby and this fallback bullshit y'all can miss her with that she don't give a fuck about none of that either you're going to bed it's not enough for her to have two beds and a crate that's not enough about it she needs me to come get in the bed with her it's not like exactly but you could just literally go to sleep in any room of this house that you wanted to get your blackout get up right she's she's legit will have an attitude i was on facetime with adrian and terry the other day it's like 9 30 p.m a normal time for an adult to be awake this bitch came and walked directly on top of the computer and then turned around and showed her pussy to my friends on facetime that's for you you can have this they were like do we have to go i'm like no no damn it i'm a grown up and she don't get to bully me after she ate the macbook yes this was after she ate the macbook i love it it's crazy i said no because one thing about it time is for now i'm a grown up damn it and if i want to stay up late then i can do that you said i don't care about that you just go to sleep you can just go to sleep you can go in another room and go to sleep especially female dogs oh yeah she didn't give a fuck she didn't give a i was just saying this to a friend a couple days ago like female dogs are a bit more like you can't tell me nothing and she was like oh like joe scott like if you can tell me nothing you can't tell me right but if you like yes it's very much that energy i think she ate there but she got which she didn't i mean this and i mean yeah a lot of girls like to be dominated by men who or masculine people or whatever with that kind of energy like that's very common but whatever whatever you know you let the girls have their things yeah um so yeah lady was less enthused than i would have liked but i i mean when i tell you over the moon i'm just so happy for this city we are moving in the right direction as usual and for everybody talking about they gonna leave please do oh my god go please go i actually can't where who waits in new york and experiences the threat of some stranger new york bitch being like i'm leaving and goes oh no not bill ackman oh no you can go sweetie less traffic less urine i mean and and more of people who actually vibe with the city being here if you don't like the way new york works go somewhere else every other other state in this country is packed full of cities and towns that will align with whatever you believe in whatever you want it to look like this is the one bitch us in la this is it where you get like you can't get the best pizza in in the country well four o'clock in the morning well that's two do those people even eat anyway like well do they even really eat well yes because they are drunk at that time and they are the one putting urine in the street and they want to soak that up i said oh please leave i don't give with a slice everybody's like oh they're not really gonna leave studies show that the rich people stay which is true they do but let them go you know what cooler people will come here instead of you new york will always be that bitch the spirit and soul of new york is not wrapped up in the wallets of billionaires they will never be short of people moving never so just go then bitch you can leave you can leave It's eight and a half million of us.

That's true. Bet your black titties. I feel like today was a mandate by our city. Everyone is going to have a seat at the table with this administration. I know the girlies are quaking in their us. Well, I mean, the people can see what's happening. It makes sense that they don't fucking like it. Trump said all these losses were because Trump wasn't on the ballot. Yes, you were, bitch bastard. Yes, you were. People see how things are going under your administration, under your tyranny, and they want the exact opposite of that. All these losses were because Trump was not on the ballot. Trump was involved in damn near every body's. Oh yeah, endorsing people left and right. Like, girl, you were very much a part of this. I don't want more of it. Trump's involvement in some campaigns really impacted those people's losses. Yeah. Yeah, I heard J.D. Vance's brother was running for something in Ohio and lost bad. Real bad. I don't know if it was city council or something like that, but he got his ass whooped after J.D. Vance endorsed him. Like, yeah. Yeah, people don't like this. We don't like y'all. Y'all stole this election. I don't have no proof, but I really believe y'all stole this last election. Well, I mean, Elon said it. And then you were like, you know what? Sidney Sweeney needs new jeans. So cut off the snap. Fuck Medicare. Fuck sidewalks. We have to be rich. The government has been shut down countless times. We don't do cutting off snap. That's what has never fucking happened. Y'all going too far with being depraved, with being evil. People don't fuck with it. We are, almost all of us want kids to eat. Like, we want kids to eat. Sue us. We do. That's going to be my responsibility, but I would like them to have like, you know, the pyramid. Even regardless of politics. Like, I don't care if those kids have Trump parents. That's not their fault. They have to carna the store brand cereal. Come on. Yeah, no, people are legit doing buy now, pay later. Can't scramble an egg. Yes, for groceries. Like, shit is so bad. It's that fucking bad. And then he was like, oh, well, maybe half the food stamps. Maybe not, you stupid turd. Cut the shit back on. Quit fucking playing. And that list? Anyway. You think they forgot that list? We haven't forgot. That's why y'all won't swear at an old girl from Arizona or whatever. Because she's the last vote they need to go ahead and release the Epstein files. So you want the kids to be hungry and measle stricken and then also trafficked? But they are gagging when the, you know, whatever portion of the American people are like, anyway, what else you got? I'm not eating it. So, yeah, anyway, girl, you were on the ballot and the people said no fucking thank you. Just like I believe we did in 2024. I just cannot do nothing about it. But yes, congratulations to her. First woman, first female mayor in Detroit since Detroit. Well, time for some hot tops. And speaking of things that I can't do anything about, Blueface is out of prison and it I think has been less than a week. I already want them to come get him. Yeah. Take him back. Take him back. How bad is it? Well, he came out and, you know, I'm first thing I want to know is how you get out of prison ugly. Well, why did you let them draw? All of this shit on your face? Oh, no. He got new tattoos. He has all of them. Oh, God. There where there was a face. There is now the second to last page. Oh, my God. Yes. He looked like a child scribbled all over him. It's giving Lisa Frank. Oh, it's giving diary of a wimpy. Lisa Frank said, first of all, how dare you? My designs are whimsical and fun. This is really bad weapons. Is that the MLB logo? I have no idea what that man is doing. It looks like the Major League Baseball logo. I wouldn't interested in it regardless. It's yours. No, it legit looks like Major League Baseball in the middle of his forehead is Walgreens. Maybe he loves baseball. Maybe he played. He legit let somebody practice tattoos on him. He looks fucking Oh, God. Yeah, he really looks terrible. Jesus. Thank you. Anyway, his baby mama's wanted him to see his kids anyway. So he was, I guess, at an arcade or something with his first baby mama, Jaden, and his kids. And then the other one, Krishan, popped up to the play date or whatever, uninvited, unannounced, with her son, which pissed off the first baby mama. So she left and took her kids with her and cut the play date with dad short. And this just, I guess, sent negative reverberations down your Twitter feed or whatever. And I'm going to let you guys know now. No. This is where the buck stops for me. I had, like. I'm not getting into a Krishan Blueface pool ever again in my life. Yeah. Ever again in my life. Just as toxic, twice as ugly. Bye. Bye. Yeah, he does not look. Like, he was. I wouldn't say he was cute before, but you could kind of see where he could be cute. He wasn't ugly. Right. Before. And you could see it. You know, it might not be your cup of tea, but you could at least squint and see it. Now. He looked like a person. That nigga is just. Yuck. Okay, so why would Krishan pull up on the. Never mind. I'm finna ask. A question that does not have an answer. Because you are not her physician. Krishan, is this a lot of things wrong with that girl? And that's been clear for a very long time. So, actually, don't blame the person. There's something wrong with Stewie. There's something wrong with Blueface Mama. All of them have issues. Yeah. That first one, if. Well, because God only knows what type of time Krishan showed up on, if she was under the influence or whatever else. I probably also would have collected my children and been like, you know, I'm not going to do this. No, we're going to have to do this some other time. You're going to have to do this some other time. Because how did she even know where they were? How did Krishan even know where they were? No. I don't know. Had to be that nigga. How else? Likely. Right. Why would you tell. See. I have no idea. All right. Well. And I'm not doing it. Yeah. No, same. I'm absolutely not. All of. Not so you could pitch a show to Zeus. Right. This is horrible parenting. Kiss my ass. I'm not. I'm not supportive. I'm not supporting that. I'm not looking at it. There's something wrong with all these people. So. Yeah. Good luck to them kids. Imagine Blueface is your daddy and Krishan is your mama. Ah! Ah! You had no hope. You know, that child's first therapist is going to be like, I knew this day would come. Right. You didn't. You may not. Krishan Jr., I've actually been waiting for you. I've been waiting. I've been waiting on you, baby. Come on. Come on. Sit down on the big comfy couch. Let's. Let's talk. Um, well, a nigger and rap who is not free of the prison system currently is one Sean Combs who is at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. Also big and Democrat right now. Jersey also said he. Oh, they did. They did indeed. Um. He's there to serve a. a prison sentence of four years after getting away sky free. I mean, well, you know. Well, not quite. He's got half free. Yeah. He's got, like, almost free. A very light punishment for the things you did. I agree. Um. Since then, we have photos. Very grainy photos of him on the yard or whatever with some other inmates huddled together. He looked like Peter Thomas. And it's giving 60 days in. And, uh. Apparently, apparently, he's been, you know, just mouthing off to. Allegedly, according to TMZ. Okay. It says, Diddy is yapping about Trump pardoning him in early 2026. Oh, God. Sources inside the prison are also telling us he's letting fellow inmates know he will take care of them when he's pardoned and set free. Like, how? Is that enough money? Probably. That's what I'm thinking. Same. It's, uh, put something on their books. You don't even send his artist money. Why would you send you any money? Well, these people are keeping him alive while he's in prison. So. Yeah, and when he's not. Well, you don't want to piss off a bunch of niggas that have nothing to lose, either. I could see him. Because they'll, what, get out six years later or whatever the fuck they do get out and have the strength, intuition, and fervor of an assassin? A trained killer? Not necessarily. Like. No, not that. But I could see him putting a few thousand dollars on these niggas' books. I don't. I'm not thinking millions. No, he probably will. Like, a little something. Something that's. They'll probably coin them. Tiny to him, right, but massive to them. Yeah, I could see. Get you a Lorna Dune. Yeah, you went. You went in there and made friends. You started smiling with all your teeth, looking at niggas right in their eyes, being friendly and cordial because you need people on your side in there, don't you? You don't want no funny business. I just don't know why you are running your mouth about a pardon that you haven't received. Especially. a pardon that will allegedly come from one of the most demented back-and-forth up-and-down crazy-ass presidents that's ever lived on this planet. There is that. I mean, now that I can't answer. He act like he know who you are depending on which way the wind is blowing. Like, he's gone back and forth about your existence. Right. So. And that decrepit bitch could fall over and die at any moment There is all so that. I wouldn't be counting on a pardon from that nigga. He's barely alive. His hands have gone gangrene. And he's like. And they keep trying to get a sleight of sabbatical. Oh, I just shake so many hands because everyone loves me. That's not. And so, that's what that is. No. It isn't. What? That isn't how that works at all. Zara and Mom Donnie went around this whole city day and night for like two minutes solid months. That nigga went from the Pink Pantherous concert to fucking West Indian Day Parade to Poppy Juice and Bushwick. Like, that nigga went all over the city. Wait. Wait. You didn't see Zara on that Poppy Juice? I actually. Wait. I did see Zara on that one. Yeah. Zara was at Poppy Juice. Yes. He spent Halloween in the gay club reaching out because that's where you find the gays. In the club on holidays. And we. And his hand has been that same color this whole time. So, it's not. It's not shaking hands that got you looking like that. Nigga, you're 80. You're fixing to die. That's what that is. It's rot. It's rot. You're rotting. Yeah. It's dead flesh, bud. That's all that is. And the administration is just gaslighting us. Healthiest president ever. Yeah. Y'all just be saying shit. Well, shout out to Sean Combs as well as Anika Mirage for keeping keeping Black American PR at the White House up and stuck. Well, maybe not. That's Cardi. Anyway, Nicki Minaj was on a Spaces thingy. For the life of me, I don't know why female rappers are still there. Get her off of. What did they get out. What is that? What do they. Why do they keep getting onto the thing and having these conference calls with strangers? I don't know. Cardi does it too. It's. No, Cardi JT. They all do it. I guess they just love interacting with their fans that way. I mean, I can't think of any other reason, but I. I personally don't get it. I just don't need that from my rap artist or any other. On paper, it's. It is a cool way to connect with your fans. In theory. Yep, it is. But what. The way y'all use it. It is so often messed. Yeah. It just feels like a sounding board for you to be like, well, that bitch's kids are not gonna need. And it's because, you know, she's crazy. Whatever. And then they clip it and send it to a blogger and then the other one does a Spaces. Yeah. And then they just go back and forth and you talk about how much you love Trump and begging that nigga for citizenship. I think this started because someone. One of her fans was on the Spaces and made a reference to. You know, Trump's administration essentially tanking the country, the economy, so on and so forth. And Nikki shut it down or attempted to shut it down in this rant. This pro-Trump rant, essentially. Which I think just kind of caused more of a confusion and divide with some barbs who were just kind of at their. Like, at wit's end. She does still have many fans who will just be like, eh, whatever. This is the queen of my life and my mother and she can say whatever she wants. But there are still others who are like, okay, girl, I'm gonna have to draw the line at Trump or talk about kids or bump. You know, I guess just like. Right. Attacking that woman's grave. Things like that. I just can't with that. Well, the barb interns in the White House are loving it because they put together a. a tick tock, featuring trump and his woman no and the music behind it is this mash-up of bees in the trap with what's going on yeah that's been trending for a long time that sound ass i've heard it before hate it hated it when i first heard it hate it now um but that is it is a thing that exists and i guess the white house in lieu of this lady hollering in defense of trump was like oh let's get it on on the action or whatever so they posted this donald trump tiktok of him trying to jig off beat next to this robot and uh nikki said um you the president and first lady of the united states of america united states of america in all caps barbs i don't know which one of you uploaded this to the white house tiktok but just no unlimited backstage gag city for life i'm glad you know oh god i don't know what timeline we're on right now i'm just going with the flow well if there's anything here i agree with that's it that that is it and then she posted a picture of herself looking absolutely beautiful with the word seed i don't know this is when she was dating meek mill i think it was the vms that looks like an old photograph but whatever oh yeah you've always been pretty maybe you don't know that but you've always been a pretty girl this i don't care about that this is just so fucking weird girl like that's that's where you're going i mean and it makes sense i guess because she's been spiraling for so long trying to attach herself to trump and she's been spiraling for so long trump is the next loser move but really nikki i'm so glad i left her alone a long long fucking time ago sick and shut yeah because it's legit something wrong with her like i don't know what it is but like i said about deborah messing there's something wrong with both of them bitches i can't put my finger on it but i would be disgusted if trump even knew my name much less tried to put me in a video don't use my nothing for nothing i didn't even read all this stuff that she was saying in relation to nigeria and christianity oh yes job she talking about this was before the nigerian christian genocide or something also um yeah donald trump tweeted okay maybe this is yeah christianity is facing an existential threat in nigeria go with that you just you can look it up i'm sure it's still there i'm not reading all this because i don't care um but yeah i guess she agrees and retweeted it reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude we live in a country where we can freely worship god no group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion we don't have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other god you think trump believes in freedom of religion freedom to practice whatever religion no that isn't it at all trump don't actually give one fuck about religion even christianity especially christianity he is just pandering to what his base wants to hear none of those people are actual christians but they for damn sure are not believing in some american value of everybody can come here and the the same people who are sending ice into cities to lock up immigrants no absolutely not andrew cuomo andrew cuomo said himself that diversity is a weakness that diversity can be a weakness that's not they're they're not here for no freedom of religious expression and you know that you're not a stupid person nikki i don't get this she's just weird now stupid as shit that i mean you know there were so many nails in the coffin for me cuomo was that actually a no-go from the very beginning i'm like have we all forgotten about the sexual assault like it ain't no way uber me nowhere legit you can't you cannot uber you can't even bring nothing to you can't uber courier me nothing like don't even come in my vestibule i'm not going to do that i'm not going to do that i'm not going to do that i'm not going to do that but yeah it's nikki is gone been gone and i just hope the barbs who are still desperately trying to hold on to it can realize it and finally let that bitch go she is full throated goblin trump do y'all see it you can't ignore it um on the flip side of things okay apparently cardi b is having a boy one stephan diggs said i think after a game that uh they know the sex of baby is boy and i'll be here real soon so wish us luck currently cardi was at one of his recent games against the atlanta falcons she watched him score a touchdown and was there to cheer him on and you know be all celebratory and stuff and i think we've been brought up her presence there and excitement there to him maybe like a post interview or something like that and first fans were taking apart some of the comments because it sounds like either they have like a playful trolly relationship or they got into an argument okay before this okay and so because when when they asked him about it at first he said something like well she came late so like i don't know how i feel about what did he say where is the quote i know he said something about her dancing like when he scored the touchdown or whatever he did some dance and then she recreated the dance okay or whatever and they asked him about that or if she he like coached her on how to do it or some shit and he said nah she picked it up on her own dancing was a little shaky though so i'll look into that for y'all but there was something else he said before this about like maybe she was late and he it was like very passive aggressive okay at least a red passive aggressive to me i didn't hear him like watch the clip if i'm saying it like yeah she showed up a little bit late or whatever i don't know what that was about type of tea so again he was just been like fuck with her in the interview i don't really know much about her i don't know what she's doing i don't know what she's doing i don't know much about his personality or it was getting like he was in his feelings about something and they'd be looking out for it either way there you go she having a boy with this new nigga she's also having to deal with that lady who uh sued her i guess they threw the case out and then she went outside and threw a pan of somebody oh yes well who didn't see that coming well yeah she's already working on a new trial or getting a new trial set because of that incident which is what we would say which is what we have and also offset cardi b's ex-husband soon to be ex-husband estranged husband i think they're separated maybe not divorced whatever that nigga she married to for me girls that's it has a new i think i would call this a mixtape there's a new project i think he dropped on halloween and uh on it he has a song called no sweat the mixtape is called haunted by fang

diggs might be a whore and and and uh sexually undisciplined and and maybe not that great of a person but he does at least have an extreme amount of athletic talent you do not i don't even know why you would bring athletes into i don't even know why you would say that rappers love bringing athletes into it and and then like calling but knowing she's with an athlete it's like steph curry with the pot yeah sure but not when your wife left you for an athlete yeah i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know that's what's not clicking for me like why would you even all right yeah all right should have said why would you leave me if you go with a worse of me i would why would you leave me at least i didn't have kids on you cardi pregnant and so is three four other girls with stefan's kid allegedly that's what they said they got on the internet and said that but okay this is your choice the other women because i saw this in my mentions that i'm like looking for it to talk about this

she's kiki from drake's kiki do you love me okay i don't that's the only one who i can remember anything else like you know she has done something to make her stick in my mind um but yeah that's why i

not even in atlanta rap oh okay so there's that but um overall i'm really happy to be here and i'm really excited to be here and i'm really excited to be here and reading this i'm just like okay so here's the thing right you have children and they have ears and culture is probably already at an age where she go to private school i could go to private school and get hold of a device that has music on it and listen to her dad's music and then be like oh interesting oh yeah it's just strange oh for what he don't give a fuck about them kids don't give a damn about what's best for them you would not be talking about they mama like this if so like this if you didn't he already put out a mixtape or whatever like right before cardi put like a month before cardi put hers out yeah he right so again i feel like if you really were over it and you didn't give a fuck and you not hurt and you got all these new bad bitches and all this it would be no reason for yet another song or project or whatever this is about this lady move on like you said i'm not going to give a fuck about them kids i'm not going to give a fuck didn't you say that move the fuck on nigga like pick up your life and do something right he got a whole ass song do something else with yourself maybe move on to the uh civil lawsuit that you described for assault as well as battery wait yeah i was about to say stefan or cardi or who because all three of them yeah it really is kind of like all three of y'all need to grow up some um yeah okay so i'm on a group trip it's not like all y'all like to fight peas in a pot really i don't understand why y'all don't get along all y'all act just the same i said accused a security guard no way fall the lawsuit first of november for alleged assault battery and intentional affliction of emotional distress against all set i think i remember hearing something about this but it could have also been like in one ear out the other because i've heard so many assault cases or stories coming from each of the members of amigos remember there was like one year where them niggas were fighting like once a month yes i do remember that yes i do not at the med men oh you tried it right the med men now med men is a nut it's like the apple store of dispensaries it is the apple store of dispensaries you go in there and they got displays all set up you play around with the thing somebody comes around weird lanyard name tag it ain't never no reason to be punching at the med men for real like this is not i don't oh okay nigga security guard jim sanchez the legends that i'll say it was hostile yeah became verbally confrontational and physically attached attacked them by striking him in the face for what asked to show identification you not hurt but you felt so tried that somebody asked you for your id that you cut them out and punch them bitch you have smoked weed long enough legally and illegally right to know that if you walk into a dispensary especially if you do not even if you do all there all the time it don't even matter but like you're not hurt if you walk into a dispensary they ask you for your id it is the law it is i don't even understand even if i have an attitude about this you have to if it was the your hood dispensary that you go to all the time they would be like oh what's up uh all set how you doing i need especially a little thing sending you on the way they they have they do it they do it and med men like i just said the apple store they follow the rules they follow the rules up in the med men so why would you what was this like everybody know who i am bitch i'm offset don't play with me like it can't be that that has that's obviously going to be my initial assumption if you're saying if they're alleging that you became hostile and confrontational fucking idiot when they asked for your id why else would you why wouldn't you just pull your id out surely you was with 15 niggas give them niggas your order and let and go sit in the sprinter while they go get the fuck out of here get the weed why was this like niggas want problems ptsd like it's it's california they're not going to be like oh you can't buy weed for nobody like they're not going to be that strict about it it's they're not gonna be like oh your id's expired get out right but it's a big group of niggas at the med men this happens all the time yes i need to see everybody id also i don't know how many cities of this but i i know that in many cases especially a big apple store dispensary like midman giving them your id at the door also like puts you in a queue yes by the time that you get passed in someone comes up to you and is like they know your name are you yeah whatever his real name is kiyari kiyari kiyari good what can i do like they already have you yes like in a queue with your information if you've been there before you have credits it's just a part of the process yes it is and i refuse to believe that that is like unfamiliar or foreign to you it came but i do believe it can't be you're a little tight in your little heart yeah yeah that's a lot more plausible the bm my brain finally realized she didn't fucking need yeah finally and she could take her kids and go on yes to the next nigga but like she left you she did and you're tired you can't take that out on the midman security bar and everybody can't you're full for that so what an idiot six direct figures that the doll babies would indeed yeah like 232 000 wait no this is a whole different case wait not two different cases yes us weekly says offset is also battling a 232 000 judgment against him over an alleged assault on the street club oh this one i remember about maybe this is the one i was thinking of i remember this yuck why why do you love hitting strangers so much you really know you should talk to somebody about that you need to get that under control you can't just go around assaulting people i'd cuff myself it's like if you can't control your hands you need to put on some gloves or something yeah you need to put on some gloves or something yeah you need to put on some gloves or You're never flying. again because you'll never go on the plane so you don't have to worry about this experience say less lost it bitch i don't care if i have heard the read i'm going to need to see your id i don't care if motorsport is your favorite song i need to see your id this is in the u.s when i went to amsterdam every fucking coffee shop i need to see your goddamn id the law safety for the play imagine i am a tsa agent working making whatever probably right now you're not making shit not getting paid right i'm like oh there go kid fury from the read oh don't worry about it you ain't gotta show me your id i listen to your thing kid fury then proceeds to enter lax oh god and i don't know burn down the lemonade you're going to jail oh yeah why didn't like and you didn't check this bitch oh we don't need to check kids bags whole time kid fury got a machete in that bitch what are you doing right back throwing knives oh i didn't you guys see that's why we do the bare minimum things right for everybody this is so you expected for the madman person to possibly lose his job because he lets you into the fucking madman without checking your id and then you beat somebody else's ass in there because you beat everybody else's ass when you leave the house because you can't control your emotions now he's out of a job because the whole point was to keep niggas like you from coming in why because he recognized you because he did his job i don't know what y'all something you had i've already been high drunk something you was clearly out of your mind because the way if i didn't have my id on me i would have said so quick uh pick me up some lost farms and some caminos the wild berry and the passion fruit the gay ones thank you so much and then some of them pro tabs appreciate you like i would have just gave my order to somebody else and went and got in the car i would rather sit in the car anyway i would rather is it more expensive to have it delivered of course it is and you tip on top but baby i would say that it is worth the additional cost absolutely if the alternative is you possibly punching someone in the face and cashing charges because you are that pissed you are out of control of your yes absolutely and there is nothing nicer than when you at home tired you realize you only got one blunt left or whatever and you could just get on an app and somebody delivers it to your house in an hour jesus is it is it right there there's nothing that feels better than and all i have to do is show you my id paid with my bank account online like i you can tell i buy a lot of weed like this i know the process and at no point do you get to bypass your id sometimes i've had them drop things off here and it would be a delivery person i've seen before or a few times i also buy the weed yeah right and they're not like oh yeah i've been here no i meet them at the door with my id in my hand i show they look here you go it is a right two second process i've said it's childish therapy programs really needed needed and necessary and available to you if you would simply partake um so do you know who's really petty we actually just brought them up me no it can't be me yes um major league baseball oh oh see mlb on fox well first of all i was watching the game could not believe the dodgers you know i barely get baseball barely but i was like i feel like i need to watch this i felt so bad for the blue jays i really did like y'all was this twice what the same wound at home i know they was gobsmacked nigga i know they could not believe that shit um so yes i saw that well i saw that the players came out at the parade to not like a switch i expected um but i don't think i saw whatever else you're talking about well the la dodgers uh beat the toronto blue jays for the in the world series um and i mean toronto came to la beat the dodgers here they only had to win one more game the last two were at home when i tell you them bitches played kendrick's album back to back meditated i don't know what it like them niggas world series dodger blue luth they just went off and um and defeated toronto mlb on fox on their twitter page i believe posted some photo that looks like it has to be ai but it is uh kendrick and is it an acura on the cover of that car am i on the cover of that album the car from the cover of the album whatever card it is i'm finna go look this and he is speeding dust into the face of one drake who's standing on the bat on the baseball field behind him okay i don't like ai but this is hilarious why would y'all do this why would they do that damn i thought maybe the dodgers account posted this no bitch ml no um the league oh that's too much no why would the league do like why would they do that this is all drake's nike put together a little a little clip dedicated to the dodgers win with night like us playing in the background yeah mind you drake has like three nike deals oh well we don't give a fuck they don't give a fuck that's not our problem that's your problem whoa oh i can't believe the league ate him that is so messy it was just gross it was so hilarious no no and now some i would have an attitude that's so fucked up like no y'all got me fucked up actually i don't saw a quote from drake that said something congratulatory to the blue jays something like you know congrats to them on an amazing season and something like uh like i can't remember how he worded the series but basically like he commended the intense nail-biting whatever nature to it i'm not gonna pull up whatever he said but yeah he had a very pc response saying congrats to toronto basically and everyone else has been making ai memes to shit on this nigga not to mention there's a rapper who i believe is from california who's suing spotify right now for inflating numbers with bots and the like singular artist that is named in this lawsuit as an example is drake no i'm like he is battered and bloody let the man get up let him get up didn't drake allude to this himself when he was i know y'all use bots to artificially inflate the numbers because you did it for me it's like when you're just opening the numbers for somebody else to be like why would you even bring that up yeah i know when i saw him at the blue jays game i said well that's it for them i'll y'all this 28 and 3 all over again y'all finna lose this in the final fucking seconds i could not believe it brutal brutal oh shout out to the dodgers though just mentioned kendrick is a wide open dodgers fan yeah drake is a wide open blue jays fan this was just like pr finesse into a drag kendrick it's just beautiful it's just really poetic how it worked out look you see how la won again poetic justice please we'll always have that song i actually really enjoy it i used to love poetic justice man it's a great song it's great well and they're both great artists never have that individually yeah you know nice for work it's a great song points were made points were attempted and um and here we are here we go in the here and now of things last but not least i wanted to bring up that one church again that marvin winans is is behind oh no thank you no thank you that lady roberta mccoy who uh went uh to the altar with 1200 instead of 2000 and then got cussed out and dragged across social media um some of you may know that ms mccoy or mrs excuse me i don't know your marital status was um kind of side by side with pastor marvin winans when he was initially being criticized for his behavior and she was very supportive of him and you know kind of taking the blame in many respects well now that the pr shit is over um roberta is in the truth of the matter which is that them people don't give a fuck about her oh she posted on facebook it's like i'm turning invisible now i'm no longer useful to them i served their purpose i was only damage control they wanted to protect the name protect the brand their cause of concern has stopped when the media storm stopped i see that with wide open eyes now they turned on me they blame me now it's all my fault they say i'm the one that owes pastor winan's an apology they say i need to grow up i need to be an adult about this my heart is broken i'm fading away my big heart for people is shrinking into a broken shallow heartbeat i can hardly hear my own heartbeat anymore i'm becoming someone i don't know my heartbeats are slower now i'm fading can you still see me i was roberta mccoy who am i now can you find me do you see me where am i my beautiful soul has been replaced with this broken soul that's a lot more of okay that's very kind of like it it does it gets really sad it's a lot more like can you see me am i totally invisible yet um it's really sad she also said did you see the empty seats on sunday at 10 45 people are appalled and tired of being mistreated in the churches do you know what would bring people back to church in great numbers i think seeing the human side of a pastor i think if they saw a pastor who was not prideful but who was humble like jesus and just said he was sorry for the offense i think that would bring a lot of people back to church all over the world i roberta mccoy stand in faith and give this letter in unity to those who never received your apology for church hurt i'm sorry well mrs mrs roberta mccoy i too am sorry that ugly little ass bitch like this would even say that tiffany pollard okay never mind no no we get it i'm i apologize that you uh could potentially be feeling this level of uh darkness and isolation and betrayal yeah and i will echo that it is a absolutely ridiculous that you apologize to any guy that you know and i'm sorry that you're not a good person and i'm sorry that you're not a good person and i'm sorry that you're not a good person and i'm sorry that you're not a good person

not christ-like that was my that's been my whole point this whole that's been my whole point this whole that's been my whole point this whole time nothing about rebuking a woman time nothing about rebuking a woman time nothing about rebuking a woman in that fashion for giving you 1200 in that fashion for giving you 1200 in that fashion for giving you 1200 dollars mind you but even if she was dollars mind you but even if she was dollars mind you but even if she was coming up there with a kfc coupon coming up there with a kfc coupon coming up there with a kfc coupon talking to her that way was crazy talking to her that way was crazy talking to her that way was crazy coming from a leader of a church period coming from a leader of a church period coming from a leader of a church period exactly exactly exactly and so this is what i really hate to see and so this is what i really hate to see and so this is what i really hate to see like i'm glad she like i'm glad she like i'm glad she realizes now that she was just used realizes now that she was just used realizes now that she was just used in that moment to kind of get social media to calm down and get off of Marvin Winans' dick, let him continue to misuse y'all's money however he wants to. But I really hate that she's feeling that way. Like, I hate to hear that. And I just went and Googled the Facebook post so I could read the whole thing. And it's sad. And y'all did that to her. Y'all, that church, that woman really believed in you and your mission and the things you said you cared about and wanted to do and all this. Like, y'all did that to her. Y'all killed that hope and that fire and that spirit in her. That is just. On your own. On your own. To this day, that lady ain't done nothing but approach you with a whole bunch of money and then what you asked her to do so that you could look good. Well, the good thing about. Yeah, no, go ahead. Go ahead. Outside of the greed, a lot of people in these positions in church feel like they could talk to people however the fuck they want to in a church. Yeah, they do. Because you could have finessed that greed into a way when you were speaking to her when she came up there that wasn't so poisonous and gross and ungrateful and bitch-made. But that's how you're used to acting and then finessing the system to get what the fuck you want because it's not your fault. It was. That lady didn't do nothing but bring you a whole bunch of money. You were recording. You asked them to bring you the money. You spoke to her how you wanted to. You chose to go about the PR this way, that way, that way. None of those ways worked. Now she got to apologize to you for what? So that the church can feel better and people stop being mean to us online. Girl, fuck. That's not her fault. Y'all. The amazing thing about Christianity is even if you don't, even if Marvin Winans never sees justice on earth, the faith says he'll see it in the afterlife. You will be held accountable and judged and asked straight to your face about the shit you did on this hearing. You will be held accountable during your time on it. And you are going to have to be held accountable, not to any of us, but to the God you say you believe in one fine day. And I would love to see how you explain this shit. But until then, on these fine days that we share, um, living earthly moments with you, you're going to hold my dick. And it is what it is. Like, bitch, I don't give a fuck what you're I don't have a heaven or hell to put you in, but the earth that we share, you're going to hold my dick on it. That's good. Don't like it? That's too damn bad. Do better. It is what it is. Exactly. That's going to wrap up Hot Tops for this week. Wishing all of you well. From the Trump supporters to the convicts. What? The Trump-supporting convicts. What is it? What's happening? Wish you God's grace. Oh. Yeah. Amen. Okay. Okay, folks, it is time for your letters. Yes, it is. Send your questions to asktheread at gmail.com. We may read them aloud on the show. Our first letter this week comes from Tyler, who says, Hi, Chris Lynn Kifiri. I have a huge crush on my straight friend, Malik. Malik and I. I love him. A straight Malik? Jesus. Malik and I worked at the post office as mail carriers for two years together before he got fired a few months ago. On our routes and assignments, we'd talk on the phone literally all day, keeping each other company and just chatting as friends. It kind of felt like playful flirting from both ends, but in the moment, it also felt harmless. Now that we haven't spoken as much because he has a new job and doesn't have so much freedom to talk on the phone all day, I feel my heart aching. I have now realized I was in love with him, and I miss him so much. I know you're right. I know he said he's straight, but it's been multiple people around the world that I've talked to around the office who said they think he likes me, and there was even a rumor going around that we were together. Oh, my God. A close friend pointed out that a straight man who thinks you like him is not going to be on the phone with you or as playful as that man is, which I'm honestly not sure if that's kind of homophobic or just an observation. I don't want to freak him out, but I feel like I'm losing my mind, and I'm in a deep depression with this on my heart. I also don't want to be that stupid gay guy who falls for the straight friend, but I'd I don't know if some of the things that other people have said have any truth to them. In the beginning of our friendship, I told him that I liked him over text, and he sent the messages to somebody asking what to say back, because he's straight. Why do you know that? But the person he asked for advice from isn't straight. When I said it made me feel embarrassed and hurt my feelings that he would share a private moment that meant no harm, he apologized, and we moved forward still talking as friends. So I'm not really sure what to think. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tyler. Don't do that to Tyler. Who amongst us hasn't had a crush on somebody straight before? I was actually about to say almost the exact same thing. sentence oh my god my african dance teacher in undergrad oh my god i wanted her so bad and she was so cool too she would hang out with us african dance teacher yes such okay okay she was so cool and she would like let us hang out at her house and all this and i'm like i'm in love with this woman and no i wasn't but yeah at all but that went nowhere she was very professional like yeah tyler okay baby this semester's over gone somewhere i don't think you're in love either i think you're infatuated with him yeah which is fine and fair and and can be cute um you just have to be able to i don't know what term to use like come up for air sometimes just be like okay well here's a question for you here's a question for you here's a question for you here's the reality of the situation what is the best for my you know emotional safety so in this case couple of things first i guess i'll start with like the saying that you liked him because that was kind of going to be my suggestion anyway it was just like oh we'll just say that you like him yeah see where it goes boom it's out there it's done whatever but you did say that you liked him through a text i wouldn't have suggested you did a text you should next time you have to say it to them in person yeah but i also don't think you should have you know i don't think you should take the sending the message to someone else the way that he did that personal mm-hmm i can understand why you would feel hurt or embarrassed by it but i might also assume that he cared enough about your feelings to try and get an idea of the best possible response yeah yeah before he sends it to you right i think i would process that as okay this is a little bit embarrassing but he probably just didn't want to like yeah "you do want to hurt my feelings right or say anything wrong um so yeah i i guess you know since then you know he's just a straight guy that you are infatuated with you have a crush on him you guys have really good uh vibes or chemistry together i think a lot of gay people uh especially men are so accustomed to straight men either wanting nothing to do with us or kind of keeping us at a certain arm's okay yeah especially if they know we're gay bisexual and could possibly like them or do openly queer they're like oh no stay five feet away yeah thank at minimum thank you and they think their suit girl the medals they give themselves like oh i'm you know i'm really open-minded and you know just like at most when they are wrapping up their coffee in the work room or the break room i mean they'll say hello to you oh yeah did you watch the game oh you don't do that okay um well good to see you bro and i may feel like they did god's work oh yeah no because they didn't call you a faggot right so sometimes the girls like have this straight friend who just treats them like a person oh and you're like oh this is my man and you're like oh my god my man right there and even other people might be like oh he must like you he's just like you speak to him and he speaks back because he wasn't hateful wow that's how blow the bar is though no seriously no for real so i think that that could have something to do with you seeing stars or hearts around your around his head or whatever when you speaking to him and just being all in the feelings of things you on the other side of this or another part of this also is i think that there are some straight managers they're people who just like being liked especially men and so there is like a validation that comes with interacting with someone who has a crush on you it'll make you feel sexy it'll make you feel you know being in bed and so on and so forth and it doesn't have to be one person they hoard it okay just want people to like it yeah this motherfucker just be really charismatic and just likes that you have cool vibes where he feels appreciated and yeah lusted after or whatever so all that is a i would keep all that in mind and and protect yourself it doesn't sound like there's anything legitimate uh coming from this relationship in terms of like love or romance like it doesn't seem like it is big going to build to that place it doesn't seem like that that's going to be that's what's happening or that's what he's thinking there's a lot of assumptions and stuff but ultimately i think it's a waste of your time yeah even if he does like you because if he does girl spit it out and say it like wait so you might want to go on a date you might want to go to the club you might want to do something else but get this get this out of your head because it feels like it will lead to heart yeah i agree after you said something in the beginning and he didn't know what to say so much that he had to go ask the other gay person he knew can i phone a fag 50 50 do you have a i need to use a lifeline i need to yeah i have i need a lifeline because i don't this is even if he did like you back he's clearly not in a place to be conscious about those feelings openly acknowledge them that's not somebody you want to be in a relationship with want to pursue a relationship with trust me he's not even this isn't even i'm gay but don't tell nobody he's not even saying i'm gay like this isn't even the closet this right you don't want to pursue somebody who straight man somebody who cannot openly say i'm attracted to the same gender or the same sex or i have queer feelings or whatever somebody who can't say that to you baby you got to leave that nigga alone got to it's either he is repressed or he's genuinely straight so i don't know why i just had this but i could barely get it in my head so the time that somebody came and delivered a package to my door and it was not labeled and i opened it and it was a bunch of um nicotine gum and i took it back downstairs and i said this is not for me this wasn't my order right why did you get any nigga who cannot out loud yeah say to you even in just the sanctity and privacy of your right friendship one-on-one conversations they don't have to text it he can't oh this actually i didn't order this yeah actually in high school you know i thought i had a crush on a boy but i never really did nothing with he can't even say that baby please save your energy save your feelings i once kissed a guy and i perhaps liked it he's not even giving you none of that you don't even have a flicker of a reason to pursue this especially because you have already asked so i don't even have a flicker of a reason to pursue this especially i think i understand that your feelings are hurt you are attached to this person it's easy to get attached to somebody you yap to on the phone all fucking day every day um but i don't i don't think you've fallen in love with him you don't even really know him thank you it doesn't sound like you really even know him that well maybe you do miss him you miss his presence you miss having somebody to talk to yeah that's so super valid both of y'all are mail carriers so yeah y'all y'all walk around all fucking day with your headphones on that's what my brother does he's a mail carrier and he loves it because he don't have to talk to people he can put his headphones on good evening so yeah you know that makes the day go by faster when you got somebody that you cool with talking on the phone with but i think you just got to kind of sit to yourself and be like damn not me being the stereotypical homosexual to develop a crush on the straight friend like this is really and who among us has who hasn't yes we all have that chapter and an event yes it happens to us all baby you just gotta yes find your gay friends go out to a gay club kiss somebody gay and in a few weeks or so of not talking to him you should be feeling a little bit better maybe a couple of months but this will pass um and you will look back and laugh you will you will you were making this nigga a butch queen in your life and it was all in your head that man down to even being like oh the co-workers are like no you heard that and held on to it hard you said well if other people can maybe see it baby don't do that do you know how much trade i have probably let pass me by from like my late 20s to today because i'm not even playing the game with you yeah you that well it's quite different for me now our mind stays closed I don't really have an issue with women being like, I like you, but I can't say no. That is not really my portion. Yeah, I think it's a little bit different. Right? That's more something y'all deal with on the boy side. But you'll be fine, baby. Just stop talking to him. Stop looking him up on social media or whatever else. Occupy your mind with something else and you'll be okay. I'll help you if this nigga will work out or something. You need to mute him. Mute him on Instagram or whatever until you get over these feelings and then you'll be all right. But don't ask again. You already got your answer. Yeah, you did. Okay. Good luck. You got somebody else's answer, but either way. The fact that he had to go ask somebody else. He wanted to respond correctly. You don't know how to turn niggas down. You're like, I never had to do this before. Like, how that'll tell you straight? Because he wants to believe. He said, maybe if I. I type it all out. Chris would be like, no, I see a chance. We don't. We don't see it. Sorry, baby. He's trying to get rid of it. Our next letter comes from Mona, who says, I'm a 37-year-old Black woman and I have a 16-year-old son with a deadbeat white man. We were barely out of our teens when we got married, had our son and divorced early. I've been raising our kids solo since he was five months old and getting my son's father to help has been frustrating. He lives across the country. Right. And he doesn't call consistently to check. He's grown to be deeply conservative and has been openly homophobic. So it works out great for me that he's not around my son. He comes from a politically right-leaning family who are extremely wealthy and also express the same sentiments. He inconsistently sends money for child support, but I know he makes good money and has access to his family's money, too. On social media, his mom often talks about their trips out to other countries and the new guns and trucks that he's bought. All right. I've taken him to court for child support. Child support, yeah. But he'll pay one or two months and then skip a few and rinse and repeat. My gay brother lives kind of close to my baby dad and sent me a post he found on Reddit pertaining to men seeking men. When I opened the. You better not play with me. When I opened the post, I had to do a double take. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It was my son's father advertising his body for sex. As a bottom seeking a top. Of course, yeah. I've heard of closeted conservative men, and while I honestly don't give a shit what he does with his body, it pisses me off that he has the nerve to be a bigot and a financially stingy one at that. So I took screenshots of the post. Oh, boy. Now that I know he's secretly trying to hook up with men, I feel like I have some leverage in getting him to help out financially. Our son is in sports, going to prom this year, being social like most teenagers. And while I do all right with my. My own income, the extra money would help out so much. And his O-10. Right. I've thought about letting my son's father know that I know about his secret. I'm not asking for a lot, just what he owes us. My question is, do y'all think it's wrong to exploit this man for financial gain? You're asking the wrong niggas. The wrong niggas. A deadbeat conservative crocker that has a. Okay. I never. That is getting plunged on Craigslist. Well, okay. I never want to out anybody, but he's an asshole who needs to pay his fair share. Is this illegal? Probably. But what would y'all do in my situation? Thanks, Mona. Well, first of all, I don't know that it's illegal. Yeah, I was going to say. You have to ask a lawyer about that. It might be. That's none of my concern. He owes child support. He's some timey. I don't care about paying it. I am not above having a phone call and being like, you know, posting photos on Reddit is really a choice. And just leaving it at that. And then watching my dollars and cents roll right on in. I'm not above it at all. Is it wrong? Not in my world. Not in the crystal criminal justice system. It's not. Yeah, as you were reading this, too, I was like, I don't know that this could do anything. But. But I think I would say to my lawyer, so hey. Just running something by you, hypothetically. Just real quick. Hypothetically. If anything, what could you do with this? But past that, me, myself, not only am I not above it. I'm so goddamn far beneath, bitch. Wait. It would almost be mandatory. There is no way that we are ever communicating ever again in life, especially about this child's well-being. And why would we ever be communicating again in life? And I don't bring up to you that I know you have your booty hole on display. Yes. On Scruff or Sniffy's. Bitch. It's giving. It's giving. And I would very similarly to the same tone that you used. You know, it's really, it's a choice. And it's really interesting for someone as homophobic as you to just have your wide open intestines right here on the internet for tick, for penis. So. Yeah. Just something to think about. I'm also not above it at all. I probably would have said something to him before me and my gay brother even got off the phone. Oh, we would. Soon as I had them screenshots safely in my possession and I booked them. Bookmarked and saved the post and copied the HTML and I'll save the web page. I'm doing all of that shit. And then I'm calling you up and I'm saying, you know, it's just so crazy how people can say one thing online, but then secretly, deeply, deeply desire the exact opposite. And it's also crazy that this boy is in football, soccer, the pickleball, badminton. He going to prom him and his little girlfriend. And, you know, Christmas is coming. It's just all of it. I would just be happy. I would be full of all these things that are just so amazing and such wonders. And isn't it incredible how things work out sometimes? And then I would sit back and wait for that white man to send me my money. Same routing and account number. Go ahead and give me my things. Yes. Immediately. You know, it's like so really funny to think about is that you're homophobic. and yo booty hole are on the same internet the same web it's worldwide so like that's like that's a choice yeah that's that's just an interesting fact so is the current price of air jordans of which my baby will be taking at least six pair and girl are you bitch girl get your fucking money from a white man at that oh white that is exactly what i was about that is exactly what i would say get your money from a nigga we would we would of course get your money you think that you are going to go deadbeat on my black child with your white ass that has money no and be homophobic when my brother gay and not be taking care of your motherfuckers and it's not happening be trying to get fucked you and i don't become an absolute villain in your life oh girl no no not at all my love i say listen these streets dog eat dog dog and you have been taking care of that child solo dolo for 16 fucking years girl and him sending child support whenever he wants to yeah i sure i wouldn't make an outright threat because that might be illegal but i would you know just a list of facts these are just a list of facts that i have yeah and let's see what happens to those but yeah if you thought somebody's gonna be like morally it isn't right i don't give a fuck i don't care about outing homophobes either i sure don't if you want to be publicly homophobic i'm gonna suggest you not try to have gay sex by soliciting people online fuck you i'll give a fuck about your privacy bitch i hope you are outed i hope you do lose your family because that's the same shit that you want to happen to other people why were you even recognizable that's whatever showing your face or tattoos on reddit like are you good okay girl yeah yeah go ahead and send me my money oh our last letter comes from amelia please update us if you can too oh y'all would love to know how that goes uh amelia says hey y'all my husband and i live in a furnished apartment in new orleans and one item of furniture in the house is a piano that used to belong to our landlady's ex my husband was thrilled about this since he used to take piano lessons as a kid and wanted to learn how to play again here's the thing he has never signed up for lessons or even taken any online he just no i didn't play multiple nights a week he will sit at the piano and hit the keys trying to tap out a tune if he manages to find one he will play it over and over and over again the result is a cacophony of noise that lasts anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes yeah yeah some days he'll stop and play every couple of hours all day long and i absolutely hate it it's a loud sound in a tiny one-bedroom house so there's no escaping it i haven't said anything because he really enjoys it i was hoping one day the owner would want it back but once he heard how much it was about but once he heard how much my husband loves it the owner decided to let us hang on to it damn it's been three years and i'm at my wit's end i don't want to stop him from doing something he enjoys but the loud disjointed piano sounds are driving me insane i just don't understand how he can play all the time and not want to learn or get any better loud i don't know am i being unreasonable she's losing it she is she can't take it she's losing it this is our first year of marriage and i already feel self-conscious that i'm a needy wife because i'm very sensitive and emotional i can be quick to irritation no no no he's also very sensitive but tends to be more quiet and hesitant to speak up when his feelings are hurt is there a way i can ask him to play the piano less often or at least learn how to play it well without being mean or is this one of those compromises you make in a marriage out of love for your partner is there a safe way to burn the piano without getting caught no no huge fan of the show love listening to you guys you know there isn't thanks amelia okay this is hilarious um so for me this is too i see both sides yeah in a way sort of i see your side amelia because what did she say like marriage thing that you learned to get over however you described it yeah there are lots of those that exist in any relationship marriage long-term relationship but noise is one i think that is tricky because you are the one who's the one who's the one who's you are human you're a human being and i think for a lot of people you probably can just get used to it where certain noises especially if they are consistent or they come at a certain time where eventually you just almost stop hearing it yeah i don't know that that is going to be the case with uh something as that can get as loud as a piano in a one bedroom right so my thing is for you i would definitely say you're a human being not to overthink it in the sense of like what am i tripping or is it something to get over like it's as much your home as it is his home and you both should be as comfortable as possible you know yeah now that doesn't mean that you don't try to what's the compromise now for him i get that he is into piano that he is trying to like learn keys chords that sort of thing but there are so many ways to do that with assistance that will a aid in the learning journey experience yeah and b not make your wife want to strangle you when you aren't looking because she is tired of hearing bad phantom of the opera like it's it's it's not just loud it's bad right so right it's not just loud it's bad it's off so my suggestions from here are like two and a half things one birthday christmas that baby is getting a book he's getting an app that come with a book he's getting like i'll buy him a year year subscription on there has to be some sort of app or video app service yeah someone will give you tutoring like over the phone or whatever he is getting that and i think it would be ridiculous to be like oh no i don't need it you do you don't know how to play the piano this isn't a suggestion people that do go like still have coaches and drain like but you do you you you need it you can just slip that in there if you haven't already been like oh here and hopefully he takes to it if he doesn't this is an optional nigga the other option is just direct out a listen can we choose a time that you do the piano when i'm out can we choose a time yes you do the piano can we because with every bit of love that i have for you i'm not going to do the piano when i'm out i'm not going to do the piano when i'm out i can't do it no more so like let's come up with something until you get better come on mama let's research because i can't do this anymore the last thing i thought of while you were reading the letter was to call the owner and be like look this nigga is driving me absolutely insane now if you want an express pass for the heavenly gates do me this quick favor and just act like right you need this piano back i'll help you call the owner and be like look this nigga is driving me absolutely i'm gonna put a lie right now yeah just act like you have to have this piano back so like yes and i will be on the other end of it please just do this solid i love whatever you need i think that's all i got i would literally i would call that man like i'll give you 50 to take your piano ah it's crazy that i so i i love that you came up with the compromise of maybe him playing she put play in quotation mark she did him banging on that shit when you out of the house i think that's a fair compromise i was also gonna suggest you just getting him the lessons anyway or the online tutorials or whatever it is like i i'm just gonna help you out babe but you do need to tell him i can deal with like practicing a song and getting it wrong you know it takes some time and then you start to get it right we we but you don't get to that point ever like you you just be over there mashing keys and seeing what sound playing heart and soul like you had to compose something all you niggas with the boom y'all really think y'all doing something as a pianist uh i i i feel for him i really do um i took piano lessons as a child i too would love to get back into it but you know not in a new york city apartment my neighbors would be like we're gonna come together to make sure you get evicted actually like it's just it's inconsiderate but anyway i was gonna say maybe soundproof headphones for you but yep that might not be that effective i don't know how effective those will depends on the line and you would have to be playing something in the headphones otherwise it would just be muffled the other way around so i'm just gonna say maybe soundproof headphones for you but that might not be sound but um yeah if he's not open to taking lessons and he's not open to only playing when you're out of the house then you need to scheme with todd and find a way to get that piano out of your house no literally i'll just start dropping gravel in that bitch like oh yeah but the the biggest yeah the biggest issue is that you haven't told him how you feel you've just been dealing with it so the resentment is growing and you're getting more and more shitty about it on the inside so just something like babe can you seriously consider taking lessons i heard about this online class where you can you don't even have to leave the house and somebody will just zoom right on into this living room and help you i think i think rejecting that is insane i do too do you want to learn the piano but only by teaching yourself i don't think any like and no shade new orleans has no shortage of musicians offering lessons it's actually you're actually contributing to your local economy by going to find some black man in the jazz bar and asking him to sit down with you once a week and you get a quicker ride to your destination of becoming a skilled piano player right and bonus i don't want to divorce you right i'm not going to divorce you i'm not going to divorce you i'm not going to divorce you i'm not going to leave you or kill you in your sleep i just feel like win-win yeah because the thing about the piano is that when it sounds good everybody loves it everyone nobody's like oh cut that shit down when it sounds good you want that person to play all day when you are just banging on the keys like a three-year-old everybody wants you to wrap that shit up that's like what is wrong with this right now because even when i was a kid i'm sure the same thing with you like when you wait you're just described when you were learning a piece and you would play it in a sound great for 15 seconds then you maybe hit a wrong note yeah nobody gives a fuck about that you know you go oh and then you go back or whatever you have to practice that's part of getting better amelia said loud he's not even practicing anything and it's been three years of him just banging around on that thing girl yeah yeah you gotta tell because like carissa said it's bothering me you are going to just hold on to that what you would call it uh resentment and that's why i was saying about noise and humanity like you could tell yourself this is one of those things that you just get over or whatever there will come a day where that motherfucker if you don't do anything where that motherfucker is hitting on that piano and you go oh nigga what you you just snap then you're going and the next thing you know you're having two years worth of art right or you know what i mean because you didn't say anything or do anything because you were afraid to tell this nigga that he sucks at the piano well he does and someone should you know babe learning is just part of it i would love to hear you try to get a new song right i would love to hear you learn something like in three years he could have actually gotten to be pretty decent at the piano but because he doesn't have a teacher he's just over there clunking shit out music theory is actually really important he needs to learn his scales he needs to learn his notes it'll be easier for him to pick out melodies on the piano once he knows what he's doing even him just freestyling is gonna sound better once he knows what he's doing but he does need that basic education because there are plenty of producers and composers and stuff but when they're brainstorming or you know making music they do something similar yeah they're just fuck around but when you don't know how this works you have no sense of musical theory right our composition you don't even know the notes if you get there right a little bit of work tutoring lessons it'll be far easier for you to create melodies and not have to sign divorce right right because you ain't getting on amelia's goddamn ass ah good luck girl good luck love women who date men aren't they fun and i like someone should tell him this very obvious thing and he's driving me mad like i want to claw out my own eyes yeah i'm not gonna say anything because i don't want to lose him someone should yeah say something i really do believe i would not have been able to last more than three days without saying listen you either finna call somebody to help you learn how to do that thing or be getting rid of it and i put that on everything and i put that on everything please don't fucking play with me i'm not gonna play with you because i'm not playing with you day two in the house i hear that piano and i'm like okay so look okay so boom look this is how we're gonna do this you are not gonna touch like any of those ivories until we get you a coach and that is what i know and it's nothing wrong with needing one most people do we're not prodigy that's what i'm saying there's like five of us worldwide who are born knowing how to play instruments and don't need no help and everybody else needs a teacher so singing ass singers have vocal coaches they do they do the best you've ever heard have coaches so good luck uh talking to your husband but this i feel like y'all should be able to to work this out pretty easily just it's mostly cute approach him about it when he's not playing yes oh my god thank you for performing that is a key piece of advice yeah before he sits down at that piano as soon as he starts to pull that bench i'll be like actually wait just if you could just hold and then watch in six months he's gonna sound so good yeah i remember he's gonna be so happy yes and he's gonna go out into the community and play yes and then he started making a little money on the side and making the children happy and doing free concerts in the park and all kinds of stuff they'll be like oh you must be playing all life he's gonna give you absolutely no credit it's gonna be great good luck amelia let us know how it goes that's gonna wrap up the letters this week if you have a question for us send it to [email protected] we'll be right back we are back and it is now time for the read i will get started because i do not really have one i'm just going to say to all of you beautiful people out there and you ugly ones i um i desperately need for y'all to um start making your own decisions when it comes to your creative interests artistic and and interests entertainment interests first of all most of you have no taste you music movies television just like across the board and that's fine i think most people don't you're the consumer is mostly a sheep however y'all refuse to read but you'll listen to a show called three y'all refuse to like make your own sort of creative decisions give certain creative arts a chance or a rewind but you will log into a chinese app and let it tell you what you like or choose what you want to watch for you and you may not be aware of how badly it is decimating the value of entertainment yet but you will you will the girlies aren't even standing up on ten i guess you had your olivia and you had your annalise and you had your isa and so the girlies are not even giving a if you know will be goldberg name at the oscars or whatever like nobody you just you know fed and waiting for whatever trip media about to go on again it's like it's it's the the world is and sometimes you want to laugh and sometimes you want to hate watch because i guess y'all like doing that time i urge you to just make a decision for yourself i like this because blank don't even watch the tv no you're just watching all the clips of a tv show on its tick tock and then talking to people who actually watch the damn show like you watch it too i just really save media it's because it sucks all you want to watch is baddies and beauty and black oh well that's it somebody got a spoon feed you sinners okay well good luck i'm finished okay um i i don't really know where that was going but it seems like you had a clear direction in mind so um lala anthony come to the front please i want you to explain yourself and do it in um in a way that a fifth grader could understand why you decided to post on your instagram stories yesterday before the election and say it's election day here in new york city please get out and vote it's a photo of you and andrew cuomo i was shocked as well um it's a photo of her with andrew cuomo um and the caption continues let's go andrew cuomo at new york governor cuomo i've known him for years he's passionate on criminal justice reform and i've seen firsthand the kind of leader he can be we need him your vote your choice i encourage everybody to get out there and make your voice heard vote it is right the answer did she deleted that very quickly after at least you could do this but the the race was called for mom donnie no later than 9 45 mind you the polls close at nine yeah they're like girl we can go by 9 30 lala had deleted that off her instagram because who first of all who told you that you lala anthony best known to old people as somebody who used to work on mtv and to young people as kyan's mama who told you that your opinion had any weight as far as politics are concerned whether it's new york or or federal or anything else who told you that the people were looking to lala anthony for her guidance on what to do in this election were you one of the many many people that cuomo paid to say something publicly about him to endorse him publicly because other than that it's really not making sense i understand lala considers herself to be kardashian adjacent these days and god knows kim kirk right right and she actually looks if you this photo of her i haven't seen her in ages she looks to break so i'm not interested she looks like i almost said north kardashian but she looks like you know north all grown up she her face even looks like kim's at this point but nobody fucking asked you girl and that goes for the rest of you across the country who have been making all these comments about well if you don't like new york city with your socialist muslim uh hijabis still have your sharia law um and all you bitches are gonna have to pray three times a day and carry around a little rug and no more pork and all the shit y'all been saying tommy lauren not my pork child it's my bacon first of all none of your things are under threat they none never have been they never will be you might have more of them more things almost certainly but tommy lauren was like um you people in your in new york city don't come running to our beautiful red cities after this babes babes girly what a ding that uh governor abbott down there in texas said he was gonna impose a 100 tariff on anybody moving from texas to new york city which that doesn't even how even girl fucking right how would you not to be outdone oklahoma's governor also posted and said government doesn't create prosperity and residents from new york city about to learn that the hard way if you want to experience freedom and you want to watch your business grow get to oklahoma as soon as you can they are plucked have they're y'all have really taken leave of your senses oklahoma and texas and all of the other red cities and states one thing about y'all y'all have always been there we have had the option of moving somewhere else for years for years we know that it's more expensive to live in new york city than anywhere else we know that it's crazy that a twenty three hundred dollar one bedroom apartment is considered affordable housing in new york city okay we know that we know that people hear twenty three hundred dollars for a one bedroom in astoria and go wow what a great deal we we know that okay we know that for twenty three hundred dollars we could be living in your suburb and uh and literally when he said when when mom donnie said that during the debate i was like okay wouldn't now wait a minute twenty three hundred not bad and cuomo was like you're taking a an apartment from somebody poor who really needs it bitch twenty three hundred dollars is not poor people rent that's how rich and out of touch he is but anyway we know that we can go live in some suburb in one of these states and have a mcmansion and have to drive every fucking where and and have a quieter life and a slower life and maybe even a more peaceful life like we we know that there are so many great things about living where y'all live we don't want to live there do you understand i have seen some of the worst days of my life in new york city i've literally been homeless in new york city and i would pick new york city over going back home any fucking day on my worst day here on the hardest day here i would pick new york this is where we want to be we're not scared of muslims can you believe it we're not scared of brown people simply for being brown we're not scared of immigrants simply because they're from another country every country is here two city blocks in brooklyn has more diversity than the entire southwestern region of the united states everybody's here we like it like that you don't have to worry about if anybody leaves it'll be people who couldn't afford it and they probably not going there anyway it's natives who are getting pushed out because of how much things cost and they're not going to be able to afford it and they're probably not going to be able to afford it and with the billionaires of lying but threatening to leave all the same a lot of people are like well damn maybe if mom dami actually makes the city affordable i can come back home a lot of people didn't want to leave new york anyway they got pushed out because of the incredible greed that's been in power in this city for so long we don't want to be there we know about your red cities okay we know about them and we don't like it we like it up here with the chaos and living on top of each other and it's apartment buildings fucking everywhere in the city that never sleeps and the train is always running and it's loud and sometimes you go on a crackhead is maybe going to spin in your direction on your way to work and we're going to all complain about the mta together and we like it like that we don't want to be where y'all are we could have been did that it's not if you can make it in fort worth you can make it anywhere that's not saying thank you so much everybody calm your pussies down kevin stitt greg abbott tommy lauren and all the rest of you bitches who got so much to say about new york city you don't live here you don't have to worry about what we do in here because it has absolutely no effect on you well it actually does have an effect on you whether you realize it or not but not in the way you thinking of you the one so scared to live around brown people you the one here a language that you don't recognize and want to go call the police we not like that and like i said earlier the spirit of this city does not live in the pockets of the extremely wealthy they can leave and new york will be fine we'll figure it out we don't need them hoes and we don't need y'all y'all need us so that's it for me also shout out to whichever bitch started the hot girls for cuomo thing and didn't buy the url so somebody else did and had it redirect to the state of new york office of attorney general's report of the sexual harassment allegations against uh andrew cuomo that came out in 2021 if you go to hot girls for cuomo right now it will immediately redirect to that you it will immediately redirect to an adobe pdf where you can read the attorney general's um official report of the multiple allegations of sexual assault against andrew cuomo the fact that we the fact that we even had a sexual predator on the ballot next to mom donnie is i mean i was disgusted anyway i'm sure that's why he didn't run in the last mayoral election but i was like surely y'all have not forgotten they had they had it's actually really gross how many people did vote for him but i'm focusing on the positive right now my nigga won and we we're moving forward for a new york that is better for the people it's the people that makes this city great it is the regular everyday people that keep this bitch moving and make it a place worth living it's not the wealthy it isn't we will not miss this investigation report is 168 pages of course trump endorsed this motherfucker of course he did trump endorsed cuomo the day before the election cuomo was like oh no he didn't mean that um

There's literally nothing that can get me to watch anything led by Kim Kardashian. No, that's fair. And I did see the trailer. There's a part in this, in the trailer, I guess, in the series, where Sarah Paulson literally dresses up like Kim Kardashian as a way to mock her with the wig, makeup, and everything. Okay. Yeah, I won't be. Okay. You can actually kiss my ass. I tried, but I'm out. You should probably go off and make this. Right. I'm out. Oh, wait. Way too much. Way too much.

It celebrates the rise of inclusive leadership, particularly the historic election of Mary Sheffield as Detroit’s first female mayor, symbolizing broader progress in racial and political equity. The speaker expresses strong disapproval of political figures like Andrew Cuomo and Trump, who are accused of promoting exclusionary, Islamophobic, and elitist policies that contradict the values of community and affordability.
