[Music] Oh, hi! Walking back. We're just, you know, wrapping up the end of November here. Maybe a little bird. Maybe little stuffing. Maybe a little, you know, dressing a side. Things of that nature. Hmm. I am aspiring to sit as high and confident as Beyonce's breasts. Woo! And I am Christy Talver. And this is the re-Jesus guy. Beyonce. Fuck, bro. She's now at the car racing. She's been out seeing her sister before. Oh, my God. She's shared photographs. Mm-hmm. And I'm sorry on their mommy, but I just have to mention this. Oh, my God. But those titties are up. Okay, parked. Baby. They're saying hello. It's, it's the whole fucking body for me. I can't get over her at that racetrack. That's it, Jazeal. Hello, like can we breathe? Can we breathe? God damn! Can they breathe? Is that what she says? Hey, who turns? She had her titties poking out all up in that man car. I know that's right. Beyonce. Them titties said this thing tackles, and they're ain't no hold on. Be all their selves. She looks so good. Beyonce said, I don't care if the whole planet is on olympic. I'm not. Fuck, she looks so good. She and Kelly are so far and gorgeous and lingerie while we're here. Yeah, let's just. And I'm seeing these little clips of you performing the things that stop again. I'm not just like, what about an albiche? Can we get in maybe an e-pisha? I'm just saying like, yes, we went to the boys' mind in Brooklyn the other day. And I got to see Kelly and all of that up close. And when I tell you the finest of ones, Kelly rolling. So phenomenal. It just don't make no sense for her to be as beautiful as she is. She killed her. The whole show was great. She was just niggas smoking and vibing and you know, we had a time. But yeah, that Kelly rolling, that Kelly rolling. Them children of destiny. They look good. They just do it this room and this room. Okay. Well, we're going to go ahead and jump in some block excellence work with them. I'm going to give block excellence over to a new faith of mine by the name of Blake Cameron. James Blake Cameron James. It's currently starring in HBO formerly known as Maxine. The new series It. Welcome to Dairy. I've discussed it in a read recently. It is a prequel to the It story. And Blake plays a young boy named Will Hamlin. And I just wanted to make him black excellence because we're now at what episode five I think came on last night. And he's just the light. The singing man is an excellent excellent actor, especially being so young when they found us. He is cute as a button like his little grin makes my heart grow and my heart could use it. And he had a scene in an episode maybe episode two. That was so cute. I almost cried and it was him. It was a scene where he's speaking to the girl I read the little black girl I read Ronnie. Who I think he has a crush on I've seen the films the TV movie read the book. I kind of know where this is going for Will. But it's yeah. And so he kind of got bullied because he loves science. He's okay. And so you got like stink bomb because he's you know a little black. You got sent to detention. Ronnie got sent to detention because he's actually bad. Okay. And so they were in there. And he was like reading his science book and she kind of like made a like a firm little slip comment like you are the only kids I've ever seen reading his example on purpose or reading it. And he in his own way was just explaining why he finds I'm fascinating and use the stink bomb that he got with as an example and like the chemicals in it are also found on this planet on the in on bad planet. So he's like sure to you I might smell like a stink bomb, but maybe I'm covered in star dust or something like that. And he just makes us a little like shy grid and like that's why like science. And she kind of looks back at him like I guess it's cool. And it is the cute. It was like so cute, so innocent, so nice to see like a little brown child in a big production scripted series like this being like I love science. And here's like some really nice wording to go like here's a good cute little monologue to go along with it. I just especially because I said this on Instagram when you get a scripted show. With black people in it that is set any time in the American past, but my God, the 80s and before just prepare for them to get lynched. It don't matter like you just know our experiences that's coming along with the black character got to. So in the midst of all of that, it was very sweet to see this very cute moment with this black kid who it seems like is also going to have like a tiny cute kid love story with another black person. Hmm, amazing didn't know it could be done. Yeah, love it. And there's a lot of girls to choose from in the cat. So I'm like okay, that's delightful. So yeah, I wanted to make this young man black excellence every time he's on his screen, I feel proud and I never met the kid in my life. I think you're going places are keep at it and stay away from those drains and those cards. I just go with him. He is adorable just cute as a button. Yes, he is. Alright, let us start our regular programming in a segment that we call hot tops. It is down time for our pop culture segment. And what a gift to me we're going to start with. What a present in the news warn media reports that one of y'all is on her way back to television. Do what she did this just for you for your birthday, she said it's kiffy and I come I come with a gift for her. You should you should go on beyond the fix my love you probably don't even need no life fixing, but you should go on you should go anyway. You know, I got a comment on my YouTube on the crystal sketch YouTube that was like it's funny how you made fun of me. I'm love for doing this all these years and now you doing the exact same thing. And I said I just love that you think what I'm doing and what you're. Of course it is. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not what matters. You think I'm walking around with bitches having them look at pictures of Harriet Tubman and. You're a little baby doesn't having them spit in the holes right. Did you shove mama from breakfast that did you check her head. A whole carved out in her front yard. Right. Did I make Lord La Rosa repeat affirmations. I said I just love that you think me and he on learn doing the same thing. This is why you have to be so careful on what you call therapy because y'all think he is therapy. Y'all really do. She doesn't because look, this is what she posted on her Instagram, the blurb from I guess the press releases. It says renowned spiritual coach and best selling off. Therapy ain't nowhere. That word is not nowhere. She not because she knows none of it. Yeah. Beth and author a Yonla vanzan returns to own with the powerful new series. Yonla the inside fix. Oh, yeah, the other one was called fix my life right. Well, I guess you know that didn't really stick you there. So play.
What was his life? She didn't fix no laddy's life. She made it so much worse Pering Saturday January 17th Can't with Teavo said this fresh take revisits 12 of the most unforgettable episodes. Oh God, so it's not even a new show. It's just her recap and I'm the fuck you. I was excited I thought this was a new stuff. Wait offering deeper reflect. Oh, so this is gonna be like a I'm reacting to my old YouTube videos. My reactions, right? Yes, like oh my god, just like when YouTubers be like let me react to my first video 13 years Yep, yep. That's what that is in hindsight. I shouldn't have told that girl that she was a horse A lot of a mother and because she got that from her horse. A lot of a mother. Oh my goodness It would be so fear is that they bring back some of the people to and and they like sit in front of you On the end of the episodes. She's another coming and she's like hey, they're like, hey, y'all know here Are all the ways you didn't fix my life. Yeah, here all the ways you actually made it markedly worse Yeah, yeah, I had to go hire somebody who actually know what they don't win with mental health after I Was publicly humiliated on your television program. So thanks a lot for that the first 12 months was really just unpacking being our yo-show It says the inside fix is a deepening. That's just the center. No, it's not. I think she wrote that part Hmm, okay, where fix my life invited us to confront the pain that shaped us The inside fix invites us to meet the truths that can free us This is the quote from right so fix my life wasn't about inviting the truths that can free us. That's What was the fix then Oh in a time when the world feels increasingly disconnected. We just turn to what matters me Ambathy and self-awareness real healing isn't about repairing what's broken but about reconnecting with our sense of self our identity our worth and Our ability to start fresh This series is a reminder that transformation is possible and the journey toward healing and home. This is one worth taking I wonder if Yana's gonna transform This isn't and to like someone helpful. Okay, right Because I I really I'm stuck on what these people First of all, it sounds like there's zero new material actually going on here other than Yana sitting in front of a camera telling y'all how she Fucked it up or got it right. Maybe maybe she thinks she got something right right. That's really all that it sounds like like You know what y'all actually times again kind of hard and then Oprah checks don't run the way they used to so I'm actually gonna have to come back and maybe dig it through some of that footage Legally, I cannot do what I was doing No more the the state of Georgia has asked me to stop, but yeah, can I get some money please? I was hoping she was gonna have some new baby daddies put together a Fisher price bike or or fucking Yeah, that's what you wanted you wanted somebody to die of my comments. Yeah, you wanted to be entertained by somebody else's Circumstances and the way that Yana was wanting to manipulate those for television audience. That's what you wanted you wanted to watch Here's this person with this deep real trauma. Oh, yeah, bad shit. Bad shit every episode. How can a Yana turn it into universal studio? It I that's what I want yeah, but I'm sure I'll find a delightful clip or meme in here somewhere because she Can't help herself when it comes to that. So either way I win because okay. That's a good way of looking at it. This is gonna be funny. I think I also winning baby if you're an a yama fan and you've been on the lookout for some new B2K music Girl it might as well be your goddamn birthday because the B2K children. I don't know who that could possibly be But the B2K children are preparing new music for the dolls. I can't imagine why But it's happening. Oh, Marion posted on his Instagram because I guess he's like the The Trump of the leader I don't know the main nigger. I don't know the spokesperson. He's like the Nicole Schrupp's ginger. Yeah You know how Nicole Schrupp's ginger. Oh would like speak sing dance dress and then if any one of them even like raised their hand during an interview, she sheatham ache, they're gonna only be one bitch. Yeah, yeah, she went out of her way to be like Dempish's can't sing, see, write, read, and I hate that our album comes out next week. It was so fast, baby Yeah, B2K with a picture that I guess is a new one In a style of one of their old ones. This looks nostalgic For some reason I can't remember. I don't know if this is whatever. It's them in some matrix-y-looking thing and it says new music loading Oh, I just noticed there's a date here February 13th. Oh Valentine's day for the husband is the first for 14th a bad release date day or It was just like right before it so you can pick which ones your favorite for tomorrow. I don't yeah That's probably actually what it is. I was thinking the 13th must be a Friday, which it is so yeah It must be an album or something, but yeah, that's that's right before Valentine's day on purpose to try to get all you Millennials who are just speeding towards 30 or just turn 30. They are on y'all's asses with yet another tour and Now some songs for y'all. Hmm. Here's the thing Yeah, I feel like if you're a fan of B2K There is just no way you're gonna be right. You're just not gonna be a fan of new B2K music like I don't know how Nothing about none of you niggas and I do mean none of you niggas gives music like Like it just don't I don't and not a single one of you do I look at and think there's a musician like There's somebody within a specific artistic musical voice Who has something to say and needs to express it through song like I Feel I feel music from omarian probably because he tries the most Because he's because he's right there in the front. That's carefully. I don't need Front omarian, you know, but I and I I don't think that I've heard anything from omarian in a while that I've connected to you But every now and then there'll be a song And we're like oh, let's keep So it like Nicole is giving Okay, let me go back to these dolls. Let's get this fucking money That's it just like he on land. Let's go back to 12 of my craziest episodes. Let's just go get this money We're gonna reheat the same nachos until the bitches stop paying for tickets. I Don't know how they finished more than one tour. I believe Because everybody got over because this one everybody need that check Yeah, cuz every last one I'm got the fuck over it when they got their first check. That's exactly what it is To be an issue point though. I am fascinated on what Music from a former Boy band of Boys 20 fucking years ago What that music and visual component will be like with them all now being adults, right is it them? Woman music music, right that is matured a bit But also, y'all don't really get along very well often. Yeah, and have any of you made mature music? Well, oh my own has either we like groceries All right, so that answers the question doesn't it Yeah, and because that wasn't even his line, but it wasn't This I'm sorry that this sounds terrible. This sounds like a horrible idea. I would almost rather y'all just keep touring on the old shit, but Okay, good luck. It's not for me You'll be there you'll be there you'll be you you might not be at the show But I think you'll I think you'll stream it with the music hits the The airwaves or whatever they call streamers. I don't know what you're thinking. I'll never buy me it I just really don't I will not be going on the move away to listen to this, but if someone's like oh my god The BTW beat to play albums actually fierce then I will Like how many reviews then I will check it out How many people have to say how many people have to say is good before you go check
- Check it out. - Three. - Okay. - Reputable sources. - Reputable, all right, not just any okay, sorry. - Hell no. - Okay. (laughing) - If you're coming from a day 26 perspective, I'm not interested. - All right, well. - And you can take the, how you like. - Okay, that's fair enough. - Speaking of that realm of music, did you know that Usher is suing Brian Michael Cox? - No. - Have you heard the name Brian Michael Cox since Danny DeKane was a group? - Is that the man from. - All right. - Okay, so, no. - And which man? - Oh, never mind. - He's the new sir. - Why, I thought that was the name of an actor on like succession or something. Who am I thinking of? - You're thinking of Brian Cox. - Hmm, okay. (laughing) (laughing) - Okay, see, I'll be there. I just don't be all the way there, but I'll be there. - Okay. - So this is a different person. - Hmm. - Yeah. - No, why is Usher doing this nigga? (laughing) - I think he's saying that Brian Michael Cox owes him for a loan. - Yeah, 1.7 million suing a longtime music producer. - Other soci's in their attorney over a loan. He says he gave them for a buckhead restaurant that never opened CB's and Atlanta restaurants. - Oh, restaurant. - Oh, good sir. - Famously hard to keep afloat. - You found in Fulton County. You inspired Michael Cox. Keep Thomas Trollhue is an entertainment lawyer. I'll see you day on the way. I'm sorry if I said that wrong. I was just a group came to him last year with the idea to open a restaurant and lounge called homage, ATL. The group looked to purchase property at such a such a P-Mount Road and Buckhead, former site of Ocean Prime that closed in 2015. So, some of you ATLans will probably know where I'm talking about. I don't, but I'm sure you. The singer did not want to be an investor, but a grease alone group of 1.7 million dollars and wired it to a trusted county. - Oh. - January. - Months later, the property still hadn't been purchased. - Yeah. - And over the summer, I should ask for the loan to be repaid. He received one million in August, but said he hasn't received their remaining balance of 700,000. Glossier accusers. I'll see they have admitting that giving the money back was not easy because it had been used for other purposes, which is a quote. Wow. Well, you admitted that you used my money for other purposes and when I lent it to you. - Right. Not the transfer on purpose. - I quickly go well. - That's okay. - Bitch, I let you think it's almost $2 million and the place hasn't even been purchased. - Don't this just sound so negatively? Don't this just. - It does sound like Bravo. It sounds like. - It really, this sounds like a housewife story line, man. - I feel like you're coming in somewhere. - I sent the girls 1.7 million. I didn't even want to invest, but they begged me. They said, "Oh my God, "alonged right in the middle of a bucket. "How can it fail?" - How much would they have to pay you to work Bravo Con to like mediate? - Ooh, life, that Bravo Con. - How many days of Bravo Con, yeah. - I think it's a week. - A week, okay. - I think it's a weekend. - Okay, a weekend. I would do a weekend at Bravo Con for 350, that was it, obviously. Before somebody thought I meant dollars, (laughs) no. - Whoever you are, too. - No, no, no, no, no, no. Because then bitches, no, no, no, no, mm-hmm. - I'm gonna have to take an ibuprofen before I even get there. I know that for a fact. - That's true. - Y'all finna be talking in circles and not just directly answering the question and being, snippy and shady all of that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - I mean, the entire establishment is also filled to the brim with wine drunk cans. - Right. - I would rather be in a shallow grave. - Right, right, it's not just the housewives. It's the housewife stands. - Exactly. - The kind who would come to Bravo Con with wine and a fucking Stanley cup. - Exactly. - Pushing bitches aside 'cause they need a picture with Teresa and Doja Kater. - Absolutely. - Doja Darby, leave me alone, get out my face. - Doja Darby is where I draw the line into a smiley face 'cause it pleases me. Brian Michael Cox said to this lawsuit on his Instagram, where he posted a throwback photo of him with his arm around Usher. He wearing a billionaire boy's club shirt. - It's probably Supro. - Got to be. - But, you know, they also, every now and then, poke their head off my fashion world. He said, "I've learned a lot recently about being careful with who you choose to invest in a business with." This is so anti-colon, charay parks. No matter how small the investment, well it wasn't very small. - No, it wasn't quite large. - Quite a lot of money actually. - It's the problem. I'm currently in the middle of a failed deal that I didn't orchestrate, and while the situation has been disappointing, I know my name will be cleared by both sides. It's just unfortunate that this clarity did come to my legal team has also advised me of a lawsuit involving a company where I am only a passive minority shareholder. I was not a participant in the business transaction. I've known involvement in ongoing legal process while I'm unable to share more details right now. I want to make one thing absolutely clear, my 20-70-year friendship with Usher remains fully intact. I appreciate everyone who has reached out with concern. Thank you for the love, patience and the understanding. - Amazing and incredibly fascinating that your 27-year friendship can remain fully intact while just person is doing, you know? - Right. - I know that life. - Are you sure about that? Like, 'cause you make us sound like, oh, I should just sew in everybody you guys, but don't worry, we'll figure it out. - Yeah. - Usher didn't post no picture talking about A, don't pay attention to the headlines. Brian Michael Cox, still my nigga. I just have to sew him 'cause he own the documents with everybody. - I didn't say that, so it just feels kind of weird and awkward for you to be saying that, but is he saying he got scammed as well? - It seems like he's alluding to, you know, just being a part of this group venture for the restaurant. He is now learning that he should do business with certain people or better business or what. It sounds like he's passing blame off to other people - Yeah. - And essentially just saying I was a part of the idea or the business venture. I didn't fuck up the actual handling or miss handling of the money, and I'm sure once this gets cleared up, you will see that. And to be honest with you, I believe that. But he wasn't actively responsible in this, but. - 'Cause why would you do that to Usher? Why would you, you know? I don't think it's worth it to fuck up your relationship and your dynamic with Usher over a million dollars. Like. - A 27 year friendship. - Well, almost two million, right. It just don't seem worth it to, you know, that that person, that relationship with that person is worth far more than that. But yeah, I can't. - I think you're starting the restaurant. I try to open a restaurant. - Literally. - In a bitch, you background check everybody. - That's literally where I was going. (laughing) - You opening up anything in Atlanta is automatically a red flag. It's just that place has a reputation for people. - Too many grifters. - Yes. - Planned games and a restaurant business, yeah. - Right. - It's crazy. - Yes. - And fucking hell, there's this actual good food. - Right. - Irving with good places to eat. - Yeah. Well, you know, hopefully it actually does get cleared up and then Usher will post a picture of him and this man and everybody will be happy. But yeah, Usher said, do run me my money back. Do do that right now. Thank you so much. - I mean, if he's hurting for it, then Russell Simmons could probably give it some. - Now you know that man. (laughing) He can't even sniff the United States. - Offset has an explanation and and he's innocent. - So he deactivated his social media accounts. Many of them, I think last week in the midst of him Spiler and out of control, his wife got a baby with an even bigger nail. She seems to be quite content with never ever hearing his fucking outsourcing and he's got new baby room areas. His mixed tape flopped into the soil and you know, he's trying to figure out how he went from being one of the Beatles or Guns and Roses or whoever the fuck them, they just compare themselves to all this. And now he's Rodman, whatever the, I don't know. - Michael Jackson. - You know, Michael Jackson, whatever. Not even that. - No, but that he wasn't even Michael Jackson. - Remember when he had the jacket on? Remember when somebody let him.
and we're gonna jack you. (laughing) - He did use a dance propala and a duel or whatever. So he said, someone on Instagram said, he's losing his shit, good job, Cardi. - Sure. - He responded to this. - Oh no. - I said, "I'm not this internet is fucking up at my chances as a black man to see my kids with false accusations not even mad at her for her response because you don't play with certain shit, especially kids. I'm a mad cause this bucks up at my Thanksgiving with my kids. This is the first period that I've seen in this so far. - Okay, okay. Yep. - So all of that was it. - Yep, yep, yep. Yep. "A fake post shit not fair to me or her or them SMH." I'm sorry, this is what you guys thought I did. I'm innocent. - But innocent of what? What is this in response to? - So he's saying that when after Cardi had the baby, there was a screenshot that came out of, what seemed to be his Instagram stories where he said, "My kid LOL." And it was just like that caption over. - Right, right, right, right. - And so everybody, including Cardi, responded like, "Nigga, you have got to get off "whatever it is in your bloodstream and go directly "to the people in it 'cause you've lost it." - Yeah. - So then he claimed that that wasn't real. That was like Photoshopped. He never posted that and somebody did that shit. - Really? - To like start some shit. Now he's the thing. I don't know if anyone actually saw that on his Instagram. - Well, I was gonna say, who was saying that was the screenshot, okay? Well, and that's very easy to do. Make a screenshot. - It is. - It is. - Almost too easy. So. - So that's what he hear he's saying, you know, not even mad at her for her response, Cardi, because you don't play with certain shit, especially kids. - Right. - But he's claiming that he's mad because false accusations and that type of stuff fucks up his chances as a black man to see my kids. He says, "I'm a mad 'cause this fucks up "at my Thanksgiving with my kids." And so I'm gonna say like the one of the first things I thought when I finished reading this, I mean, it took me about 27 minutes, but once I got through, you know, my deciphering, I was like, how does Thanksgiving work when you guys saving kids with like three-fold people? Like wouldn't it be kind of fucked up? Like I don't, like Nick Cannon can't have things given with all his kids. - So he doesn't have it with any of them. That's how you solve that problem. - Oh, why? - I don't know. He's spending which are niggas. You were spending it at the strip club. (laughing) - Yeah, yeah. So there's that. Was he gonna be with all of his kids anyway? Probably not in the first place, right? So I'm sure Cardi is like, yeah, you won't see the three you have with me. I'll see the four you have with them other hosts. - You'd be all right. - I mean, I'm just like what do you want? - You want it. - Also, I'll say if I may offer this, if the one and only thing you had done was post and delete this, or somebody lied and said that you did that, if that was the only thing you had done, since the two of you have been separated for like a year or now, or I guess over a year, however long it's been, I really doubt that this would have any effect on custody battles or who's seeing who for the holidays or any of that other shit. It's probably your pattern of behavior, the repeated things you have done to antagonize this woman, while y'all were together and after you separated, throughout the duration of her last two pregnancies, it's probably those things that are keeping that woman from wanting to be cordial with you, straight up telling you, don't call my fucking line, do not darken my door. - We can communicate through the attorneys, like Hally had to do with that little young nigga. We simply are going to have to communicate through the attorneys because you do not know how to fucking act, see you in court. - And I'm not talking to you, bro. - And that's what I came blame that girl for because somebody got to be the grown one in this situation. Somebody got to look out for them kids. And yeah, yeah, 'cause-- - You're completely correct. - Yeah, it's all the shit offset. It's all the same. - Let's say that picture was photoshopped and it was fake. First of all, thank God. - You're right. - 'Cause that was messy, messy. - But we can then point to the three-fold disc records. Roddus Lady was pregnant. We can point to the countless affairs. We can point to the want and harass me. We can point to the alleged threat. Like there are so many things in here, outside of a possible photoshop AIS picture. Cardi, the mother of your dumb kids, as well as a judge would go, no. - Yes. - No. - Not to mention the things you've probably said and done to her in real life. Not to mention the text messages you probably sent her privately directly to her phone or the things you've gotten on FaceTime and said, like, it's just, it's not this one thing, nigga. You need to take a look at the way you've been acting and understand that all of this is coming together and causing you problems now. - On the flip side, Miss Bill Colise's shared photographs. Well, this is the post that I was looking for before the album, the album teaser. And that, I forgot to look up where she got that outfit from that she was wearing when she was like, hello, flat tummy. Have you got your tickets? - No, baby, right. - No, babe. She posted photos with her and the baby on Instagram recently. And yeah, I'm satisfied now. Little brown nugget wrapped up obviously in Patriots. - Here it is, daddy last name on it. - He is, of course he is. - You should've seen gay photo. - Oh, cute. - That's what I was like, and that is exact same thought. When I was like, where does one get? I like a new born, swaddle blanket rep. When I was like, yeah. - The team printed that up. I just don't know if they do it for all of his kids, but that's very sweet. That's really cute. - Oh, little Steffi Diggs Jr., oh. - Super cute, little Scorpio baby. It says 11-4 here, so I guess he was born on the fourth. And on the last photo in this slide, lots of people noticed a huge diamond ring on Cardi's finger. - Ooh, okay. Why not, sure. - I mean, fuck it. (laughing) - Why? - Watch it. - You're engaged again. Are we even divorced? It don't matter. Let's do it again. (laughing) - Oh, sweet baby, though. I'm glad it's here safely and it's that are in on that. - Very big, yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. The other option and marriage wise, I guess you could go with the Tony Braxton one. She's told entertainment tonight that she didn't want people to know she was married to Birdman. And not for the reasons that, you know, are obvious. - 'Cause gross. - Right. - And much of it for a completely unsightly and hard to look at. - Yeah. - But mostly because, you know, typical reasons I relate with. You don't want people all up in your business. They know as much as you tell them, et cetera, et cetera. - I get that. - And Tony has seemed that way for most of her life or career. I don't remember many times where she's been like, I mean, I mean, I mean, you just kind of know if you know. - Yeah, yeah. I can't remember her. Oh no, hold on. I'm confusing her with Holly Robinson Pete. Nope, I can't remember. - Why? - Why? - It's like similar. - I love this. - Holly Rob. - No, but it's like similar era and so for some reason. - Yeah. - They're just kind of like in my head. They kind of look like cousins type situation. But no, are you right? I have not. - They do look like they could be. - I can't think of somebody that Tony has. Like stepped out with that the rest of us knew about. - I mean, she's been in relation like weeps. - Yeah. - Man of heart. But yeah, she's just usually not like. - It's all this fall right into a little. - Like, yeah, but I get that. I didn't realize that I guess she's still with him. Because I thought that they weren't together anymore. But I guess that this speaks to exactly what it is we're saying. Tony is like, who invited you? But I didn't say that I was going to tell you anything about my relationships. But I think I just remember reading some time ago that they had separated. Maybe they did and they got back together and you know, just kept it private. And then there's also the cash money, no limit versus the other day where Tony's sister was there with With Bird Man and people were like, this is kind of weird.
but then Tamar made it weirder by not just being like, girl, I had a body fucking bird man, I was just there 'cause that's my homie. I'm waiting, we hanging all the time, we go to the casino, we smoke cigars, and she's like, that's my brother. And he will just still have something to say. But she was like, me. Weird about it, of course. Right, so. But this little interview made it seem like, yeah. She said they are married, they've been married. And essentially, she has been keeping it to her God themselves. Also, she started in a movie on Lifetime that just came out called, he wasn't mad enough. Okay, so you liked her. Okay, no, I wouldn't actually. I think you want to watch it. No, I don't think so. You haven't checked it out though. I think I know exactly who I'm going to go. No, I think I know already. That, I can, I'm trying not to laugh it. Of course, you didn't want us to know you were married to Birmingham. I was like, who would? Yuck Burman, just, I wouldn't be surprised if his breath smell like mothballs. You know, it's just, that's just the look he has. But yes, I thought you was going to talk. When you said Tony, I thought you was going to talk about how you're talking about the Kayla Nicole Halloween costume thing. 'Cause you didn't see Kayla Nicole's Halloween costume. The, when she did Tony Brexon. Oh, yeah. Yes. I paid that. What was the, I saw when she was dressed up, I didn't see any response to her or anything. Well, Kayla is Travis Kelsey's ex-girlfriend. Yeah. Travis Kelsey is engaged to Taylor Swift. Yeah. Taylor Swift put out that whole flop album. And yeah, I know what the, the thing of it was. Okay, okay, right. So, so it, Kayla, so Kayla's costume went viral because everybody was like, oh, this is her response to Taylor, being like, oh, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a fat ass. And I'm not a bad bitch. Well, we're, um. Oh, yeah. And the movie's called, he wasn't man enough. Right. So I figured she was doing a promo for that and somebody asked her about the Kayla costume because she was on camera talking about, well, you know, I didn't even really know too much about it. They just told me, you know, this young girl did my video. So I watched it. She looked so good and I commented on it. I didn't know all the back stories. So, you know, I'm old, my bad. Why the f*ck is she here, Paul, like, good. 'Cause you're back so late. Because-- Nobody dressed up as you. No, no. That doesn't have nothing to do with Tony. Right. But Tony commented something on the girl's Instagram, like, oh, you look so cute or whatever. And the Swiftie thought Tony Braxton was taking sides in Kayla Nicole versus-- Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Right. That is absolutely-- Y'all need to grow up talking ridiculous. Right. Tony Braxton is like 58 years old. She is not playing Y'all's internet game. And if she knew that that was shade, why should that have anything to do with me to the point where I'm not going to say, hey, girl, thanks for giving me a flower. I don't give a f*ck that you were being petty. You dressed up as me in a Halloween thing. I think you look nice. I think the clip or whatever is nice. Hey, hey, hey, hey, black girl, flowers. Of course, as to turn into such and such, such as, first of all, I will never listen to the live times and sex and the videotapes of Pamela Anderson, whatever the f*ck that album called. I'm not going to listen to that for obvious reasons. But what I heard was that she's on there talking about, I'm not a bitch, and I'm not a savage, and I'm not melonated. And perhaps I've never-- I don't know how to rise you got on the boat, whatever. So it's like, if you can do all of that, I can't dress up as Tony Braxton. Right. And of course you can. Of course you can. But, you know-- It's more of a distance anyway. It absolutely is. It-- yes. Have you heard the song? Have you heard-- and did you pay attention to the chorus, especially lyrically? Did you-- did that resonate for everybody? Because I'm saying, your man is just not-- you got a whole song about how the wood changed your life. And I'm like, I mean, you know, it sticks to plenty, girl. I don't-- it didn't really-- Cosmo stars and stripes over here or whatever. But yeah, good for Tony, I guess. I'm glad that whole situation with Tay Mar was cleared up. Because remember, Nickas was like, no, I was with the verses wiping that Nicka for it and giving him some butterfly kisses and shit. Right. It's me. I had questions about what she was doing with Jossus. This has been, so glad we all know. Well, trouble in the sex dungeon as Candy Burris is reportedly filing the poor divorce. She and her husband Todd, apparently splitting after being married for 11 years and having two children together, what did Candy say? Candy said, after deep thoughts and a lot of prayer, I've made the decision to move forward with the divorce. This is a difficult and emotional time. But my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be and co-parenting with love and respect. I'm stepping into a new chapter, pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth. I'm grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years. And I've survived the grace and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family. Good luck with that, Candy. I haven't looked, but I'm sure that you are being blasted with, it was all a scheme by Todd. I know they have, I know they have mama joy, shit. Cool, guys. I know it is an avalanche of that shit in all of your socials right now. So, yes, and I will spare you my mama joy's impression. Yes, I agree. But yeah, I'm sure Candy had a tight prenup. I'm sure mama joy's made sure that she had the strength of prenups. You know, I mean, they have so many businesses together that he's going to eat regardless. So, but as far as her money that she walked instead of it's with as far as those right, you will be taking not one time, right? Right. Get it together, miss Todd's response was more negatively is more of the negative direction. He just posted on his Instagram stories. A quote from, I don't know, one of some quote Instagram. I was trying to give you credit. I can't read it. You are the CEO of your life. Higher, fire and promote accordingly. He posted with James Brown's the boss playing over it. Yep. Higher, fire and promote accordingly, babes. Oh. Okay. And so, he said. All right. Oh, that little girl looked just like Candy. Oh. Oh. Oh. Kids, oh my god. Just a day after this, Candy and Todd were photographed together. All smiles looking very, you know, looking like they were in good spirits for their daughter blazes six birthday. And yes, blaze, ace, Riley. My god, they look like their mom. Children out. They, they, Todd had none that no chance. No chance. Yeah. The kids look just like their mama. Yeah. So cute. Um, but look, I love, I actually do love this if they are. You see, you see how parents can split up and then still be cool and chill for the sake of the kids. A day later, photographed smiling like you wouldn't even know if they didn't tell you. And the baby six birthday, it is no white themed, we're here as adults, being adults and not passing down garbage, vitriol and trauma, these kids who I haven't even reached a double digits yet. Well, sometimes the two of you can look at each other and say, you know what, this relationship has actually run its course. Um, I was already rich. They're now all so rich, so it's not like, we're not right. We're not going to some destitute life after this. You'll be just fine. Children religious. Yeah. We got them two older ones off to New York, shooting their own reality shows and yeah, these babies are just fine. So yeah, we can, when you see how Todd for all the shit that y'all gave Todd, including and especially Candy's family, Todd actually did work. Okay. Todd did not pull it off said, girl, damn, they're just as hard as hard. If not harder, that nigga Todd kept a job. Okay. He continued to us, yes, an entertainment, but he actually worked throughout the duration of his marriage. And so yeah, if this is true and they've been separated for a few months anyway, then they probably are like, okay, fine, now y'all get to know, but yeah, it's over. Far be it for me for giving the head of a section of what nigga appoints, but sticking through. When they. Joyce. And the rest. Okay. Now listen, all of their shenanis because I would have slapped one of them aunties and I'm so true. I am so for real. I would have smacked the shit out of Joyce.
He really battened down the hatches and stayed as close to God as possible. Right, because he stuck with that lady. The shit they did on camera, I know they was this respectful off camera. I know, but the stuff that we didn't hear about must have been intense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They stuck it out, started. He literally owns a restaurant that is essentially, it is named after them, a tribute to them, all that other type of shit, putting money back into it, like, listen. And now divorce could be what it is. I'm sure personally, outside of these pictures, it is rough, because what divorce is not. Right. But to your point, a day after posting these difficult things, they showed up to the baby birthday, taking photos, the kids were smiling. That's the way to do it. That's the responsibility of parenthood. Right. Right people and claiming paternity over our new kids. Not that shit. Not that. Didn't do that. Allegedly, allegedly, he didn't do that. This is why you can't have things giving. Oh, yeah, not the blatant harassment. It's this one post and delete. Okay. All right. Yeah. This is what parents supposed to do. No matter what issues you'll have, blaze, ace, I don't even know which child this is. That child turned six. And so it's time blaze blaze. And so everybody better put on their fucking mad hat or outfit or Allison, whatever the fuck we doing, wonder woman, whatever it is, put on your fucking outfit, it's no white, okay? So I need to see grumpy, sneaky, uh, whoever else, the mother, the sleepy and all the mother niggas, like damn, y'all really don't know their names. Dopey, Sneezy, Doc, grumpy, uh, happy, okay, happy, sad, no, uh, um, suppressed, bashful, blush, my colors, uh, blush, and that's, no, I don't know how to, girl, dot grumpy, happy, sleepy, bashful, Sneezy and dopey, I think you said Sneezy, didn't, doc, grumpy, happy, sleepy, bashful, Sneezy, dopey. I definitely did not say Sneezy, okay, yeah, the point being y'all better round up all them niggas plus no white and somebody to play the evil queen. And I need to see apples and I need to see cottages. Yes. And everybody needs to show up. If the adults got better, be the fuck ready or daddy better have put on his Prince Charming outfit or whatever and everybody. Birds better sing escape. Period. I want to see Harris perform at the birthday party. Period. Harris live. And y'all better have booked Harris. Yeah, no, for real, because what does this have to do with the babies? The babies don't, they ain't got none to do with them. And, you know, the parents growing apart and everything like that, they're going to feel it and see it and, you know, have to adjust and adapt anyway, might as well in the midst of that make every day. Yeah. Frosting. You know who nothing to cry on Instagram about who's seeing their kids on which holidays? Todd. Candy and Todd. Yeah, almost. I had not had the Google Todd birds because I didn't know his last name, and the Google told me it was Tucker. I was like, do you mean Todd Tucker? I'm like, I guess I do shout out. I guess. I guess I do. Ace and Blaze got his last name. Of course they do. Candy is that that lady most women give their children their father's last name. So. Try it off. So, um, have you heard about Pizza Hut? Summer Walker and Pizza Hut? No one out pizzas the Hut. No. Summer Walker. Have you heard why Summer Walker's new name is Guesses Pizza Hut? No. What part of the internet do you be on, bro? Cause what is this? Wow. The fuck is Tory Bricks? Why does she spell her name like a porn star? Oh, maybe she used to be porn. Summer Walker claims Tory Bricks sent her Pizza Hut over Rich the Kid drama. Oh, Jesus. So there was a phone message featuring one Summer Walker that at some point leaked. This message was at some time sent to rapper Rich the Kid. And on the message you can hear Summer basically saying that she really enjoys spending time with Rich they always have a good time together, um, but he wants her. He knows that she, he, she knew that Rich has a family. He's a big mama. He has a girl that he's with Tory and essentially saying like, I want you to be with her. I don't have a problem, you know, with you being with her, uh, but also kind of giving, you know, when we see each other, we'll see each other type being and even say it is that she eludes to him getting a burner phone for our burner. Yeah, getting a burner phone and having her saved under the phone is pizza. Like she was like, I don't care if you just call me Pizza Hut or whatever the fuck. She also admits on this leaked message that she's tipsy, and you know, and you tipsy, but she's come, so she drunk dialed this nigga that she was fucking with while he had a woman and she knew and essentially suggested he gets another phone so they could continue doing whatever they do when they can do it while he stays with his fiance, wife, baby mama, whatever. Like I said, how this message leaked, not entirely sure, but it came out since then the girlies have been calling summer walker pizza at the United Peaks of emojis, so on such which it's not looking great. Summer posted on her Instagram, uh, a bouquet of roses with the caption, I gave that man and so long, aim been in the mood, that voice memo, drunk, but if y'all think I care or feel bad, I don't. He messed with hella people, but I'm supposed to be the one to take the blame and feel bad. Get a grip. L.O.L. Call me Miss Pizza Hut from now on. I don't give a fuck. Well, I mean, you did tell the man to save your number as pizza hut. That is crazy. That's pretty wild says, uh, who gets the fuck off from pizza hut? That's the thing too. Like, when does pizza had ever call anybody like, why, why would I be texting pizza? Why would? Yeah, you was drunk. You didn't think that through at all. I mean, but they just do it. It's just it's in effect. That's just so stupid, but okay. Why is she, oh, Tori Brick says, why is she coming at me though? Now when I do your shit, don't play victim, we are engaged and you know that it was my choice to not get married because Rich and I had a few hiccups. And I knew we had a few things we need to work on as a family. I'm not in a rush to get married and then have to get a divorce. But what I do with my man in my household is in your business pizza hut. Then she posted a screenshot of a text message between summer, allegedly, and, uh, and Rich the kid and it's summer posting one of Rich's kids backpack, like his son's backpack. And Rich sends back LOL baby D's bag with a laughing emoji and she says, I'm finestended to Tori. So Tori reposts, Tori posts this screenshot on her Instagram and she said, this woman has literally been harassing me for like two years, asking to hang and link up, et cetera. She even went as far as trying to insinuate that she was around my children when she wasn't. Summer was around to reach one day and he accidentally left my son's backpack as a mother who don't post the face of her children and get upset at her baby daddy for posting them to protect them. Why would you play with mine? But she didn't post your child, that's just the bad guy, but I get it, but she didn't post. But okay, all right. Yeah. So then summer posted a video and a big furry hat or she at home or something, I guess. And essentially says that one story short, she basically said that Tori need to go after all the other bitches that Rich the kid was cheating on her with. If you just singling her out as soon as her album came out, when all of this shit is old and she ain't fuck up and then you never talk to that nigga forever, then you really just clout chasing like you really just want attention or you're just picking at her specifically, which doesn't make any sense to her because she's one of many people who've been doing this to her. Okay. Okay. Well then summer posted a picture of one, two. three, four, five, six, like about seven piece of head pieces that were allegedly delivered to her house and said, "So you harassed me off text-free app while I was in the club last night having a time, not even thinking about you and now you send me pieces to my house after telling me you have my address." So it's giving restraining order. Like you literally have a psych, you literally having a psychotic break over a man who literally is obsessed with me and 14 are there. (laughing) Like I really can't figure out your issue with me specifically instead of taking it up with him. I gave him back yesterday, babe, now you dragging it. Like I'm really over the internet stuff, but I'm gonna put this here for the world and the police to see in case you really decide to lose your mind. You was posting stuff from 2023 and decided to start randomly harassing me publicly three years later where my album dropped. Oh, okay, I was trying to do that math, but very weird. Like really what's the point? This while, this while wanna be the side, why would I ever wanna be main? Look at your life. This must be so stressful for you up. Every night going through that man phone, finding a new bitch every week to embarrass you. LOL said very sad life to live. Tori said on Instagram post that I guess was about this very thing. I didn't send this whole no pizza. If I send some shit to her crib, it wouldn't be pizza. Call the police and have them check the cameras. It would not be fucking pizza. Call the police and have them check the cameras or cards for purchase. This whole is having a breakdown. I wasn't in the way of anything she had going on. She just didn't like the truth once it was out. How she upset with me because the audio comes out of her begging. I didn't leak the audio love, ask academics. Well, well, I have received from 2023 to 2025. The last week of you crying about me. Just stop. Some of you weird as fuck and please don't go digging in your closet to get one of those big ass better hats to go live and continue to talk about me for hours. Nobody cares. Okay, I like her. (laughing) Yeah. Sometimes I go to you that last week. That's pretty funny. She might have got you with that one. And on top of that, don't ever go put this in all I ever can. And show now the talk about me wearing it, okay? You think I pulled out my amics to purchase seven pizzas to send to your home with fees and delivery fee and tipping all that bitch. Be for real, like, you need to call pizza. That's for copying a receipt. If you're gonna take it that far, you know, you need to call a banker too and see who sent this. But girl, I'm like, did you come home tipsy again? 'Cause he said you just got home from the club when you saw this or whatever. And just automatically be like, it must be that odd bitch. Like everyone's not calling you pizza. Like anybody could have sent you that. Anybody with your address could have sent you to see. It's not actually illegal, right? And how you know bubbles didn't do it. Bubbles said actually, I could go for a little pizza at my damn store. So let's just get it. And you got these other kids here, right? You didn't even know Bubbles was having a sleepover. She ordered something. And you and Atlanta, I know she got a drink. So Bubbles is like, whiffer. This is going to take care of this pizza issue. Oh, Summit. Girl, I don't know, man. I mean, it may be true that Summer is getting most of you know, whatever backlash or whatever it is. Because Summer is the most famous of the hose, right? But that's why that's happening. It's not like, oh, you know, I'm Summer Walker and everybody is just against me. No, you're the most famous of his hose. So you're getting this attention. I just think it's very interesting that at no point where you like, oh, I didn't fuck your man. Why would I fuck that man? No one, he was in a relationship with somebody else. No, you seem to have swung all the way to the other side of things and said, well, this is exactly why I would rather be the side hoe. Because main hose after worry about side hose is like, did you know none of-- you can actually just date mature adult men. Did you know you could do that? You could stop fucking all these rappers and athletes and other known whores and maybe just grow up a little bit and go find you somebody also ready to be grown. Like, you don't have to play this game of like, this nigga lion, so I'm a lot first. This bitch cheating, so I'm a cheat person. You don't have to do that silly goofy shit. Everybody can act like an adult if they want to. Like, you don't-- She changed her name on Instagram to miss pizza, and everything, and put a dot after a miss, child. One thing about Summer, she cannot read. It is not m-i-s-s-dot. What the fuck, bro? The dot is from Ms. Simmons. Christ, Jesus. All the surgeries and nips that she didn't had, I wish to God. Somebody could download some fucking leapfrog into you. Bitches of brains. 'Cause fuck. It should be basic. Sucks. Well, I mean, a hoe is as a hoe does. I'm supposed to feel bad. She chewed you right up. It's just the, like, why after everything be like, yeah, let me go ahead and, you know, call me people. Why would you assign that to your-- She's a fucking loser. She has no-- As she said, she don't care if she's all hurt at either. Of course she does. 'Cause the fucking tweet fix. You are hurt. You literally act like that. You ain't did one non-burthing yet. Okay. Well, there's that. That's going to just about wrap up with the-- Oh, thank God. Hot tops of sweet greener head and take a break. Right after we do, no way. Kid theories, sport shorts. Welcome back, everyone. To kid theory sports shorts coming to you live and direct with everything hot in the realm of athleticism. So this week, we have spicing hot tea between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Mavericks of Dallas. After a recent game, something in a text suit named John Maron. Pointed his finger ever so aggressively in player Clay Thompson's face while calling him a bum. You a bum now. He screamed to Thompson after they lost to Memphis and their Grizzlies. It was aggressive. It was unnecessary. It was petty. People had to come and separate the two. In typical day, about to fight on the court fashion. And this is just another pylon to the idea that Clay Thompson is the association's latest punching bag. After the game, press caught up with Clay Thompson to ask him about things. And he said the following. He said of Jai. He said, he's a funny guy. He's a funny guy. Switch for a guy where it takes accountability. Masked what he was doing or what he was saying. Clay Thompson said he's just running his mouth. He's been running his mouth a long time. It's funny when you run your mouth when you're on the bench. It's kind of been the story of his career so far. This explained a lot to me about why during this finger pointing fiasco, Clay Thompson was in a basketball uniform. And John Maron looked like he was shopping for phone posits that answered my question. It's because John Maron was not playing. Right, right, right. Which leaves me with the question, how doff one hate from the sidelines? Thank you all so much for listening to today's sports shorts. Any questions? Yeah, what do you think is going on with the Grizzlies this season? And how come Jai's in and out? I mean, well, with an attitude like this, it could be anything. It could be a conjuring. Oh, OK, yeah, yeah, yeah. Really, a copious amount of issues outside of the arena, outside of practice, such as a Zeus account. Such as, you know, Jameson Irish Whiskey, who knows? But I will say this, with this type of attitude in these shade room going on, it's not looking great. Yeah, because hasn't he suspended? He's been suspended in each of the last three or four seasons, right? Like, he just keeps getting suspended. It's really unbelievable this person's trajectory with all things considered, you know, it's just like, wow, you've made it this
far we all want to see you rise to the occasion. Which it seems though like his energy and his intention is misplaced and when that happens, you know, you get things like this. - Yeah, I agree, you know, all the Grizzly fans thoughts, John Meret. Oh, well, if we, if that's what we're really doing, I would love to hear actually your opinion on the Oklahoma City Thunder and what they've been doing this season. - What they have been doing this season is absolutely indescribable. It's kind of out of out of my mind, what they've been doing this season. And, you know, leave it to the Oklahoma City and the Thunder as well to be shocking. (laughing) - And the Thunder as well. (laughing) - Yeah. (laughing) - Yeah. - Yeah. - Well, that's been Kid Fury's - And Luke and LeBron. (laughing) - And Luke and LeBron. - I'm sorry, we're finished. - Oh! - Oh, did we run out of time? - We're sure. - Oh, right, right, right, right. And now always make those short long. - So thank you guys for listening to another moment, another highlight in your favorite sports analyst and athletic historian. We'll be right back. We're back. It is time for listener letters. Oh, I just forgot, I haven't seen the witches yet. - Cool. - This is why we haven't talked about it. - Okay. - I'll be going to see it tonight, it's my off. So I guess we'll talk about it next week. - Okay, all right, and I wasn't even gonna do any spoilers or anything, obviously, 'cause I'm just aim out, but. - Our folks haven't seen it. - As someone who, you know, this was my first wicked experience, I have so many feelings, but I'll that can wait. Yes, indeed, send your questions to
[email protected]. We may read them aloud on the show. Our first letter this week comes from Noel, who says, "Hi, if you're in crystal, I've been happily married for three years, and as I've settled into this stage of life, my friendships have started to feel tricky." All of my close friends, who are also my cousins, are still in the outside arrow. They love bar hopping, rosters, and living that carefree single life. I love that for them, but I'm just not in that space anymore. These days, my idea of fun looks more like arts and crafts nights, workshops, and cozy dinners. I love quality time and intentional experiences, but because I don't go out drinking, partying, or bar hopping with them, they've started assuming that I'll always say no, and now they barely invite me to anything, or they automatically assume that I'll decline. I get that our lifestyles are different, but it honestly hurts my feelings. I still want to be included, even if I say no most of the time. I still want to feel like I'm part of the group, not like I've aged out of my own friendships. I know that my girls can fill my cup in ways that my husband cannot, and I genuinely love them so now. I know they can't do that. But it's hard to balance, and now I'm torn. I feel guilty for not wanting the same things they enjoy, but I also feel left out when they don't include me. Am I wrong for wanting to show up for my friends in different ways? How do I stay a good friend while honoring where I am in life? And how do I keep these friendships strong without making my single friends feel judged, or without pretending that I'm in a stage that I'm not? Any advice would mean a lot. I love y'all so much, you have been lights in my times of darkness, love, no-o. - Oh, shut up. I'm the darkest shadow on the planet. - It's your fucking birthday. We're not having that bullshit today. - I like being dark. I don't like, I don't like being dark. (laughing) - Is that why you should be dark? - I think this is, yeah. I think this has got a couple of possibly easy steps or options here, right? I mean, this is pretty common in friendships, especially in brain groups of a certain size, 'cause people's lives are all different. You in a relationship, this one ain't in a relationship, that one in a situation, this one's a relationship over, this one in a brain relationship, this one moving, this one moving back, it just like has ways of people being in different spaces and then wanting to hang out and share space in different ways. Some of us honestly just have spells where we stop drinking or stop smoking. For reasons to have nothing to do with judgment, just health reasons, this is whatever. - You get 12 cents on shit at some point. - Girl? (laughing) - It's not even fun no more at a certain point. - Especially the outside of it. Like, what is this person's name? - Noel. - Like Noel was describing, right? So I think what, first of all, you want to not take the lack of invites personally. It's just adapting, like they're going after a certain number of no's or no shows, they're gonna be like, "Oh, she won't come." And they're not gonna invite you. - Right. - And as someone who has been there my younger self, I get feeling away about it, but girl, you have to, like that's just science. It's like, that's just how that is. So I think your options, first ones that come to mind for me anyway are as follows, right? You've got the option to go out to a little bar and be like, "Hey girls, I will be headed home "at this time because I know by 9.45. "Y'all lose your mind." And so, I don't know, I'm just set a random map. No, I'm just going to be in the house at 9.45. Well, mom is also like, "She'd be inside the house." - Right. - She doesn't think so, like she want to be outside at 10. - Especially in the winter when the sun's set at five, bitch, I'm like, "Hey, you 10 pm, I'm sleep." - Thank you. You'll be possible just putting on invisibility cloaks and sneaking in the brain boxes or whatever. - What's the candy shop called again? - The Zonkos is the place where they, it doesn't matter, honey dukes, whatever. - Yep. - So, there's that where you just kind of let you say yes to get yourself back into the swing of things. I think you are going to want to just set up a, get together. Like you're going to have to make the decision or take the initiative to go, "Miss you girls, "you know I'm in my grown auntie era, "I can't do the bar crawl and shit no more, "I will pass out at 8 p.m. - I am elderly. - But if anyone is interested in coming over for a bit of wine, a bit of cheese, and a bit of, I don't know, whatever y'all want some tea. - A bit of, a bit of elementary. If anybody would like to vote for it and watch a bit of elementary with me and have dinner. - Let's do that. Now, if all of your friends are like, you don't want to get, if we can get plastered and go out in the street and get arrested, or not come in, and you know we're here, you need to be put in your energy. But it sounds like something that you might want to just, A, like I said, don't take anything personal here and be taken initiative to set up a gathering with you and the friends that is more in tune with your interests that feels safer for you. 'Cause I doubt the way that you describe these people in your friendship that they would have a problem coming to kick it with you, having a little shark hooter at you watching Abbey and making jokes about, I don't know, college or whatever. - Yeah. - You know, you just gotta make the initiative. And I think that could turn into something that would be a whole lot of fun and might even be a regular thing. - Yeah, I don't see why they couldn't come pre-game at showhouse. - That's a great idea. - Like, yeah, we'll come over and watch something cozy with you and do shots and then we're not watching nothing cozy, bitch. But you can sip on your wine, we'll drink shots and play board games or whatever. - I love music. - Have us a little time and then you want to stay here, cuddle, don't put your man, we going to the club. And we'll see you next time. - I think that's a good idea too. - Yeah, I think if you gave you excellent advice, I'm hearing a lot, there's a lot in this letter about they don't invite me. But I haven't heard you invite them to anything. - That's what I'm saying. - Have you literally invited them to do any one of your boring married bitch activities? Like just one. Like I would love to, you know, if you want to do something Saturday afternoon at two o'clock or whatever 'cause that's when you awake, then yeah, girl, let's go to a paint sip or whatever you like to do. But you people who say invite me even though I'm gonna say no, respectfully no. - It just doesn't make sense. - Because y'all go on and on about how it hurts your feelings to not be invited. It hurts other people's feelings to constantly be told no. To go out of your way to invite somebody who is just going to turn you down every single time. You're not the only one with feelings. That's why people eventually just stop. Like you can either say yes sometimes or invite them to do things with you or find some new third thing that all of you like to do. Like I don't know what that might be. Go into Bible study drunkers.
something. And you all, you figure it out for yourselves. You know, me and my, we was in Oklahoma, we used to like, uh, to get drunk and go to the rodeo. It's so, you sounds like so. Nigga, when I tell you, I have had the best days of my life, watching the pony express with my niggas, drinking some cheat and just having a good time, you know, just things that everybody has in common, things that everybody likes to do. Um, or yeah, making some new shit up. Right. Oh my God. Peyton Sips are fun. Who knew? Oh my goodness. Everyone getting together on a last Saturday of the month and putting it together on 1,000-piece puzzle. You fun. Who knows? Maybe you'll find traveling dance. But it's not like you the only one who don't want to go get fuck that. Right. So you have to come up with something there too. And don't put the onus on others to like, finagle something for you because you always say, yeah, you don't want to do something. Then you, come on, they send you the itinerary every weekend and you like, yeah, I'm not doing none of that. See y'all for next week's check in. Bitch, no. So you can tell me no again. Like, you want to have a friend. You have to be a friend. How are you being a friend? You don't have to go out every night or every weekend. But can you go out once a month or every couple of months? And can you like we've been saying, introduce other things for y'all to do together? And if it turns out that you and your cousins who I really struggle to think you have nothing else in common with. But if y'all can't find nothing else to bring you together other than going to me my house for Thanksgiving and Christmas, then you might need new friends. Right. You might need home body. I'm just with my man happily married. We cozy and it's dark outside. So we in the house all the time. You might need friends who do that. Same thing. Couple friends, mom friends. I don't think you're a mother, but you I don't know. You kind of act in like one. So some like that. Maybe there are friends at your arts and crafts nights. But yeah, you might just need to expand your friend's circle to and there's nothing wrong with that either. But exactly. You are going to have to put some effort in since I mean, frankly, you're the one who's who's interests have changed here. So. Right. And it's not the wrong with that. I too am out of my club in every night era. But you know, because to further the point right, like let's say one of them was like, okay, Noel isn't like into drinking and stuff or whatever. Let's come up with something to do next weekend that we feel like would be better for her. And then it's like not your tea or they don't do it right or would it like further reason, they know what they like, which is going out bar hopping and getting fucked up or whatever, being outside. You know what you like. So it's just further reason for you to take more control and be like, because I am the one who is like not for this. What about this? You can't leave it up to everybody else, especially after every time they try to hang out with your leg now. We'll stop. Exactly. So good luck to you. No, well, that was my name in French class when we had to pick French names. Why did that? Oh, I was like, why did they make us do that? Right. I feel like they did it in Spanish too. I sure do. My friends look Spanish was like, I'm Miguel. No, you not Marco, please. Yes, but good luck. Noel, let us know how it goes. Our next letter, our next letter comes from Maverick, who says, hi, Chris Winkie, Fury. I'm a 24 year old queer woman who is currently unpacking my emotions from my first breakup. My ex is a wonderful woman and the reasons for our breakup were truly out of my control. I met her parents a couple of times, but my parents refused to meet her. This caused her a lot of stress, which caused our relationship to stagnate from her point of view. Since I break up, I wish her the best and I hope she finds someone who has everything she's looking for and more. My issue is my parents. 90% of me believe that they dislike me. I've always been the black sheep of the family. Oh, boy, my mother's been calling me a bitch since the sixth grade and my dad has also been abusive. So as my brother, blah, blah, woe is me. She literally wrote blah, blah, blah woe is me. I figured I was gonna paint. All in all, it's been a lot and the only family that I trust is my sister who I love more than words can describe. Now that the dust has settled, I'm no contact with my dad and brother and low contact with my mom. How the fuck am I gonna date as a lesbian with parents who don't give two fucks or rats asked about me? I don't know why it never occurred to me, but in relationships, people do want to meet their parents. I started asking my queer friends about their relationships with their parents and how it affects their dating life, but apparently everybody I know is loved unconditionally by their parents. I'm happy for them and I believe that everybody deserves it right. My friends also say how much they wouldn't want to date someone whose parents would refuse to meet them. So talking to them just makes me feel more alone and like a freak. I understand how how off-putting this is and I've always had the mindset that there is somebody for everybody, but that voice is becoming fainter and fainter by the day. Overall, I'm pretty bummed because my ex was my love for a while and I couldn't give her the most obvious thing. Everyone else around me has no problem giving. Now I know that that's something I probably can't give any future partners which makes dating even scarier because why be vulnerable just to get my heart broken because of my parents. Their actions are like a dark cloud following me everywhere I go. I just really don't know what to do at this point and would appreciate any advice you might have with love Maverick. You're so 24. I was about to say that. Yeah. Yeah. I'm so sorry that you're, you know, and the throws of this nonsense and grappling with this fuckery. I will say, first of all, keep hope alive babe, like not every person that you meet that has feelings for you. Is going to find your parents ignorance, homophobia, or what have you to be a deal breaker, like not everyone is going to be like, well, your parents don't want to meet me or I can't meet your parents. So this is going to work. Like personally, you can speak from a person who's not a lesbian or in a relationship. If I wasn't a relationship, I would not give two fucks whether or not that my partner's parents wanted to meet me. I would not be in a rush to meet them either. If we do cool and I will be on my best behavior and so if they meet me, they don't like me, yikes, that sucks. If it starts them not liking me bleeds into our relationship or even without being around them every day you bring that in two hour, you're going to be every argument. Yeah. Somehow leads back to that toxicity or everything. Then that is a problem. Yeah. But just like, oh, your parents don't like me. I feel like that's so folded into being queer, trans, non, but it's just so baked into our experience to have parents that suck to one degree. Look at Tammy. Yeah. So I would say not to don't be too hard on yourself. Try not to be too pessimistic about it because I don't think it's like what's the point in finding love. I'm going to have my heart broken because my parents are going to ruin it. You're likely going to meet someone who will understand exactly what you're going through and love you regardless and love you through all of their bullshit. So I would say other than that, really stay focused on you therapy and peeling back all of the layers of your trash as parents, calling you a bitch since the grade being abusive like these people suck. And they are further emphasis. Some people just should not have children. I'm glad you're here. Don't get me. But some people are absolutely inept, absolutely out of their depth when it comes to parenting. And to be quite honest with you, they are given the way that you've described them. They're opinion on you or anybody that you fall in love with. I think should be pretty invalid because they're trash. I wouldn't give a fuck about the opinion of anybody calling a daughter a bitch since they were what? Girl, you couldn't tell me how hard it is. But that's me. She's not my mama. I'm saying I get the complications. But I do think you're young and you're going to, this is your first love. Also, I think she's like your first relationship. Your first sucks. Yeah. Yeah. And gay woman. Hell on earth. So that's difficult enough as well as you being in the age range where you're kind of putting the puzzle pieces of all of this shit together anyway. But don't let the dark cloud that is your imperfect parents.
You know, stab you from finding love, exploring love, and being your goddamn self, 'cause that's there, you shouldn't go shit to do with you. Yes, and I think the older you get, the more clear this will become to you. 100%. I just love that, you know, maybe you're just gay in the wrong era, 'cause let me tell you in the 90s, none of our parents were fucking with that shit. So, I'm saying, we all kind of bonded together over the fact that pretty much nobody had accepting parents, and it was like the one thing we all had in common. So it's quite interesting now to see the pendulum go so far in the other direction that this person is like, why am I the only one whose parents don't love her, which is heartbreaking? But, it's right people, and those who didn't watch Pose, that's why houses have mothers and fathers. Yeah, 'cause people for the many, many, many queer people who didn't have them. Yes, but you are going to continue to date, and simply explaining to people like, hey, you know, I love that your parents are cool, mine or not, and they're never going to want to meet you. And I don't really have a relationship with them. That's pretty normal, like, it is. A lot of people will still want to date you even though you don't have a relationship with your parents, especially when you tell them some of the things your parents have said and done. It'll be like, yeah, not only should you not have a relationship with them, if I ever saw them on the street, I might be inclined to smack the fuck out of one or both of them. Right. So, yeah, you're not going to, it's not going to be, oh god, nobody will ever want to be with me because my parents are trash. Like it might feel that way in this very moment. Also, your heart broken, so it can be like, oh, I have my one chance. I love it. Now it's gone. No, it is. So, play this episode back one day or be like. Yes, it's an early 30 something queer woman right now going, oh my god, that was me in 2016. And it, yeah, it has a way of working itself out. If you're not already in therapy, I would recommend it just to get some healing from what these people have done to you. But, yeah, this, your parents are not and the things that they've done with their lives, the ways they've hurt you, that is not going to be the number one driver of your life. You are going to continue to grow up and away from them, niggas and they influence. And you will find the family, the friends, the dating life, all of that, that is, that is meant for you. And I hope you hold them accountable one day too. If you haven't already, if you could, there's, there's really nothing like that confrontation with your parents where you like, you know what? Actually, let's talk about exactly how you niggas had me fucked up. And here we go. Like, you niggas thought she was getting out of her scut free, and you're not. So, okay, you thought you were riding her, didn't you? You thought I was never going to clock you, didn't you? You thought I was just go grow up and forget about all that and just send money home and take care of the boy. And it was staying a child's place for this child is now an adult and you're getting dragged. And you're getting dragged. And it's what you deserve. And what you do with that, I mean, that's so we actually have. There's a similar letter about this coming up on Crystal's couch soon, but yeah, good. Good luck to everybody. And this is perfect timing because a lot of people are going home this week and over the next month. You don't, you're grown now and you can just remind yourself of that, especially when you don't live with them people, you can say exactly what is on your heart. Yes, you can. You do not have to stay in a child's place because news flash you are not a child. And now your place is wherever you want it to be. But good luck, Maverick. Nobody manipulates you to think that you got to shut your ass up or you can't speak up because you're what a generation underneath them. Right. Because you're a demon. Not that my own bills. And you ain't helping me do it because I have half of your DNA. You act like I signed up for that. So once again, right. So once again, you got one chance to say something fucking crazy to me. And it's up. All right, Maverick. Good luck. But I think you'll be okay, baby. Just just feeling and staying away from them. Yes. All right. Let's wrap it up there so we can get out of here on time. Again, if you have a question for us, send it to ask the
[email protected]. We'll be right back. How do we are back? And it is now time for the read. I will start. And I'm going to pass my read today. This read is titled so all of our brothers don't choke us. Since hey, y'all I contemplated writing a letter for advice but talked myself up after hearing the Patrick Beverly story and chose violence. I just want to say how I fucking hate these abusive ass weird ass obsessed ass fake family protect our ass sorry ass excuse some of us have as brothers. They claim to be our ultimate protectors but end up being our biggest abusers. The story of Patrick Beverly, ring home to me and made me realize how fucking much I hate my brother growing up. He beat me, essayed me, choked me and ultimately almost killed me. I literally had the same story except I was 25 and it was completely unprovoked. My boyfriend was just staying the night with me and according to him I was disrespecting the house our mom and most importantly him. Anywho, I'm gonna give a shout out to all the abusive men that are finally being held accountable for their actions and an even bigger applause for the women that are finally brave enough to tell on these bitch ass niggas. Brother, though you're not listening, I'm sure one of your women or men is listening. This sweet shout out is especially for you.

I hope the corner of your fidget sheet pops up every fucking night. I hope you feel a rocking or shoe but can't find it when you take your shoe off. I hope your internet starts buffering every time you're secretly watching your favorite gay porn give it up. Whole New Orleans know you gay. I hope you step barefoot on your son's Lego every time you sneak out in the middle of the night life go to sleep. I hope you have the immediately clean dog shit every day when you walk in the house from work. Maybe in the process you'll learn how to clean yourself up. Lastly you dirty burning booty bottom bitch I will likely be fucked up for the rest of my life from the things that you did to me but it's still fucking beats the thought of having to be you. You fight demons that you don't that you fight demons that don't even know your name you insignificant P body twink though I'm bigger than you I will never be big enough to forgive or forget when you die.

Okay to that nigga up though it's I don't want to start being on a washer and dryer Adam what did I tell you about and if you bring something. It was one of the funny thing that I swear to god I'm not understanding what you not understanding about that nigga being three but me and my other brother the Brock we're only 18 months apart so we we used to pull knives on each other but you know that's what you did that's what he was like 17 listen if you never try to kill a sibling are you not even keen. Oh I'll never forget because I had came home with this we was all over not to drive at this point I came home and then it came home after me and block me in the driveway and then wouldn't leave so I could leave. And I was like we're just give me your keys i'm with your car and he was like no you just not leaving and I was like I'll fucking kill you before I miss this party like.
- Why don't you, before I miss it? - Oh, so you've chosen death. - I was so angry, I legitimately with. That's what brother, anyway, anyway. Your brother's way worse, Miss Girl, so. - There are a lot of people. - Thank you for passing your read. - That do have this unfortunate experience with brother, especially older brothers or brothers that are larger. - Who abused them in this false sense of, I don't know, being the man of the family or some sort of masculine representative family reputation when it's like, have you seen you? - What happened? - I'm not sure if they're watching your face, but do you ever look in the mirror? - Yeah. - The crust is still present on your face. Like right now in this very moment, you know what you talking to or about me, nigga? Oh boy, okay. That's my girl. - Thank you again, past the read of Gmail. - Yes, and speaking of past the reads, I'm also going to pass mine this week. - Yeah. - I was gonna talk about Zoran and Trump, but honestly, I still don't know what the fuck that was. - Oh my God. - I don't okay, Gary, 'cause I, that makes you feel better, I don't even. - I still don't, is Zoran that charismatic, where is Zoran, as he walked in the White House Trump was just like, oh, what do you mean? She honest, I never even heard that word. What are you doing tonight? - Do you wanna make out? - Smiling up at that man, all big. The reporter was like, so Mr. Mom Donny, do you still think Trump is the fastest? He was like, well, and Trump was like, oh, you could say it. - What the fuck? - Trump was like, now that the Bubba thing is out. Have you ever been swallowed up? - What about behind a White Castle at, say, 3 a.m.? Have you ever met somebody in the dumpsters behind the White Castle? - I've got a brand new ballroom. - Yeah. - So you know what that means? - Okay. - I got all new definition for ballroom, right? All right, leave me alone. But that was, that was deeply disturbing. I'm not gonna get into that. - It was very strange. - So I am also going to pass my read this week. ♪ Pass the read I used to ♪ - Now, this is about wicked too, but it also applies to wicked one and there's no spoilers. - I know how the story ends. - Oh, right. - It won't be a spoiler, so. - Well, yeah. - This is about the movie in particular. It's from Merchard, who says, hey y'all, I love both of you and the podcast so much. I listen to many shows and the read is definitely my number one favorite. Thank you for the laughs, the advice, the inspiration and the empowerment. Being able to see two queer black people killing the podcasting game means everything to me as someone working towards starting a podcast myself. Thank you, Rashad. - Crow for it. - This read is for the director of Wicked Part One and Wicked For Good, John M2. - Oh, I feel like I know this is gonna be about. - As well as the casting department. - If this is what I think it is, eat. - Wicked is my all-time favorite Broadway musical. And last year I saw Wicked Part One, eight times in theaters. And now I've seen Wicked For Good three times so far. - What, Bisha came out to date, two seconds. - He goes every day. I love in the door, both films very much. However, there are two issues that I have with both of it. - This is the exact same thing of Michelle Yo as Madame Morbos and Jeff Goldblum as the wizard. - Literally, no shade. Michelle is actually a really good actress but the bitch is a very bad singer. And the thing that makes me even more pissed off is the fact that I just read online that Cheryl Lee Rose. - Yes. Oh my God. I was gonna do this as my rebate, I didn't wanna be bad either. - Who played Madame Morbos on Broadway. - Yes. - Actually auditioned for the role in the movie. Imagine what we could have had Cheryl would have eaten that role up. - Michelle Yo turned the role down like three times. - Don't you beg her to do it. - And so did the the the the the the ozipic twins. And I'm like, why? Why did y'all beg her to be in this movie when you can anyway? Let me get back to her shot. - Did you see the clip of Cheryl Lee, Ralph singing that, singing a clip of one of the songs? - Yes. I saw it when the cuz me and Rashad both saw this news about Cheryl Lee, Ralph actually auditioned for the movie. And I'm like, why the fuck wasn't she cast? Or even if not her, somebody who can hold a tune. Michelle, let her run Lee. Can not, okay, anyway just a shot not even done. - Yeah, he's not. - And then there's Jeff. Is he a fun, silly, charming personality? Yes, absolutely. But he's also a pretty fucking awful singer. In my opinion, Keith David would have been a fantastic choice as the wizard. And I'm sure, oh, why the hell would John and the casting team put Jeff and Michelle in the same film as singing heavyweights Ariana Grande, Cynthia, Arrival and John at the Bayley. It makes no sense. I desperately need Hollywood to stop casting actors and actresses that can't sing in these damn movie musicals. Please make it stop. - Love Rashad. Now Rashad, I'm gonna gently correct your ear. Jonathan Bayley is not in the same category as Ariana Grande and Cynthia Revo, but he's also not in the same category as Michelle and Jeff Goldblum either. He's a secret third thing. - True. - He has a lovely voice. He can really carry a tune, absolutely. I too cannot, and I thought that little bit of singing more able did in the first movie was all she was gonna have to do. I didn't realize she was supposed to be carrying a much bigger number in the second movie. So there were so many opportunities. I didn't realize Ariana Glenda is not in the original version of "Wonderful," and they might have her in it in the movie. I said, "I wouldn't do any spoilers." - I think their sound track is out. - Okay, all right. But I did see some people on TikTok saying, "Yeah, they did that because Jeff Goldblum cannot fucking sing that song." It, I didn't expect the second half to be the second movie to have the same impact as the first one. Obviously, it's wrapping up the story. But I definitely, if I had known when I watched the first one, what music to expect for the second one, I would have been a lot angrier at the casting from the beginning. So I'm sure you Broadway, you theater people, I know y'all were, I rate thinking about the back half of this soundtrack and what them two people was finna be tasked to do. Cheryl Lee, Ralph? - Yeah. - Y'all could have Cheryl Lee, Ralph singing them songs. And please don't make us disrespect Michelle, y'all. Like, I think she's-- - I don't want to do it. - I don't either. - Absolutely. But she sounds the fuck terrible, just like she told, and she told y'all she couldn't sing. Y'all heard her open her mouth and not be able to sing. She was in the booth countless times, not being able to sing. Why did it somebody say, you know, we actually did beg you to do this. And for that, we are sorry, but we're going to have to send you home. - She doesn't give me Madame Morrible. - No. - Kind of like a like a kooky character, like she, she, I just never really got what I expected knowing that character from her. But and then it's like, oh, she can't sing, too. So I don't know if I ever said anything when we talked about the first movie, but I definitely was watching that movie, like, what are they, like, it's such, I know that Michelle Yo is deservedly rightfully celebrated, but I was just very, and I still am confused with that choice. And then seeing Shirley Ralph, knowing she's played the role so she knows it has hard in it, and knowing she auditioned for it, and it was given to somebody who wasn't even really interested in playing it. And Jeff Goldblum, too, I'm like, I think it's a Hollywood thing. It's part of it is the stunt casting of, here's this person from this incredible movie, everything everywhere else. Once just one man, put button seat, Jeff Goldblum, everybody still loves Jeff Goldblum, button seat. So I just feel like, Abbot Elementary top show on television right now, I'm not and Shirley Ralph can actually fucking sing. I'm really like, really not understand. If you don't get, you know what? And now I know why they didn't give you best picture because they knew who you had cast to sing these songs, and they said you do not deserve it. You do not deserve it. You should have put people who can sing in the movie musical. People in the academy were really being wicked fans and they were, like, they were huge fans and they were like, you should have A.I. had her voice. I'm sorry. You should have A.I. Did you know you should have cast somebody who could sing. I think that really is just the long and short of it is just cast someone.
- Yeah, you know, because there have been a lot of movie musicals lately, a lot of-- - And I love them, and they can be fun, and I think a lot of them have people in them, especially stunt cast, who can't say, but audiences rarely go, you know, the fish and little mermaid sounded awful, or whatever, like, there aren't that many people who were buying tickets, who weren't, like, holding a stifier about it. But that's like, I don't know, snow white, live, or the Hunger Games, for whatever. Wicked?! Wicked?! Right. Why wouldn't you just make sure everybody could sing? But Michelle Yo is the legend, and I love her, and I can't wait to see for good. - Borgad. Borgad? - Well, I like I've seen it. I will see it again. I really cannot wait for both of them for this second one to be out at home, so I can watch them at home. But yeah, the music would have hit way harder if voices that could sing were part of it. I just don't understand how, and it's like, you have screenings. You have. You had a million opportunities to not do this. And the edit, you watch this back and you're like, "Yeah, we're gonna do this." Even to your point, like, she went to the studio, or at any point, you were like, "Can you sing this?" And she did, and then you were like, "No, I guess you can't." You're gonna go ahead and pay your day, right? But if you could go home, sorry, girls. Sorry, girl. Look. - Michelle, it's just not your fault. It has nothing to do with you. You told them, "No." You said you didn't want to do it. You can't sing. And they begged you and gave you all this money. What were you supposed to do? So you did it. You did the thing. I don't blame you. I blame Hollywood's insistence on trying to sell movie tickets by putting big, familiar famous faces up to it, no matter what. I think it's dumb. I don't think it makes any sense. Look at miles from sinners, introducing or whatever. - Speaking of, did you see that clip of Sammy, the singer, Sammy? - No. - He was on Cam Newton's show, so you know something dumb happened. - That's right. - And he was saying how the character in the movie sinners is named Sammy, and he's spelled it like I do, with S-A-M-M-I-E, not S-A-M-M-Y. - He's a great granddaddy. - And he, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the devil would have never came by the club. If Sammy wasn't in their singing, so you know, I do feel like either directly or indirectly, that movie is about my life. - He's talking. Please tell me that he was joking. - Now, granted, I only saw a clip. But I, I said, nigga, there's no way that you like, think Ryan Kugler was like, you know what? - I think that Ryan Kugler was what, listening to your debut single, and was like, I have something for this. - What? - If you say, Sammy, I'm a think of like five other people before that one. - I really. - Davis, Jr., like, just not you, brother. I don't know what you mean, but yeah. - 'Cause he spells it like I did. A lot of people. - What? - Yeah, he was like, and he's spelling how I do. So, he said directly or indirectly, the movie was so, even if Ryan Kugler didn't realize when he was doing it, even if I don't move you. - It was an inception. It was an inception. - That's so bad. - You run into. - I really want that level of delusion. I want it in my life. I want to, I want to be delusional about things like that that are going up in my everyday life. - Me too. - And I want to feel confident enough to go on camera and say, oh yeah. Why do I open public and just tell everybody that's off you? - I just feel like in the '90s, when Pepsi decided to make that clear version of Pepsi and call it Crystal Pepsi, they thought there's a little black girl named Crystal in Oklahoma somewhere and this Pepsi is named after her. And so therefore, that clear Pepsi. - It's clear that when Marvel Studios decided to be character Nick Fury and make him black and similar to my complexion in the same, it's very clearly that they were inspired by me. Now Disney, I will take a cool 500 minute. Like what the fuck is Sammy talking about? - What? - I don't know. I could not stop laughing. I said, I'm, do I care enough to go and what was up in full? No, I don't. But his face was dead serious. His face was dead serious. - That sucks so bad. - I don't think we're thinking about you right now. - I really don't. He must have like, Ryan Cooler must like, fell asleep in front of Final Draft while Vivo R&B was playing in a background. And Sammy came on and like he was, you know, spiritually and physically, he was working on Black Panther 3. But then he heard some Sammy and was like, oh, let me make a story where Michael B Jordan is a twin. And the vampires kill Sammy or try to kill Sammy. What? What you don't, their drugs were getting. - Yeah. Damn. Oh, y'all doing all kind of shit, man. I don't even know which drug to blame this on for real. But yeah, listen to their coddening things out here on the streets with these days. It's lethal. You need to reach out to somebody you trust and come on back to reality, babes. That movie ain't got shit. And I mean, first of all, with all due respect, do you think you sound like miles with all if it was like that boy, like on rap shit, rap shit has a lot of characters that are named after rappers. It is intentional. Let's say that this character was like, oh, Sammy was in sweat. I would assume Sammy Davis, like, why you, what? Yeah. Yeah. That is like a fun thing that you just, you have some shroom chocolate or a ear splint. And you just think that to yourself in the pool outside. Yeah. Like, what if? And then all your friends say, wow, nigga, what's the strain? No, not when your friends are like to yourself. No, you don't dare say this. You can't even say this. No, you don't say this to anybody. I'm saying a lot. You are just outside. Yeah, just by yourself, just out in stars. Yeah. You think I am among them. Best seen in centers. You don't ever tell that to anybody. That's one thought for you. Wow. Can no Newton's podcast is where people sanity goes to that. Yeah. Yeah. I really couldn't believe the audacity of that statement. But again, I didn't go looking up somebody tell me if he was just, oh, and speaking of somebody tell me approximately 900,000 of you let me know that the rock did indeed do a Tyler Perry movie. Oh, yeah. They saw me too. My bad. My bad. I had a feeling he popped up in some terrible shit. They could not wait to put that shit in. I got to imagine. Well, I mean, thank you for reminding me because yes, I did not see why did I get married up on that mountain or whatever. If I saw it, I saw it a trillion years ago. And I completely forgot that the rock came in at the very end or something. So yeah, he can have the American black movie or whatever the fuck. You sure? Why not? Yeah, whatever. All right, girls, that is going to wrap up this holiday. That my one movie. It's another live action. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, we'll see who gets cast. Oh, the little girls, the little girl, the young ladies in the teaser or whatever. She, you can hear it boy. It's not like she can actually sing. I mean, even the rock can sing like the rock is the John at the royally. He sounds just fine. But you know, it's, are you going to throw a Jeff Goldblum or Michelle Yo in there? And if you do, please don't. I still, John and whoever else, I mean, the casket director, if the, if the, if the two stars and the director want one person in particular, then, you know, it's pretty much going to be that person. But I just cannot. Can Cynthia Ariana and John, please explain to us why y'all insisted that these people who can't sing have big singing parts in the show. Why did y'all do that? Uh, okay. I didn't know that Cynthia and Ariana were in. Yes. Cynthia and Ariana. Also, we're like, Michelle, no, come do it. Please, Michelle. You'll be great. We love you. Oh, I'm horrible. I'm horrible. Did y'all know, Cheryl Lee? I feel like y'all did not even know he auditioned. Pink and green were like, we shall be the singers and no one else. You know what? I had that thought ever so briefly. I did. None.
she'll come between Glenda and Alfie. - Anyway, I didn't hear a shit. - Cynthia is saying Alfie for Deon Warwick. It'll be Kennedy Center Honors. - Ooh. - This is many, many years ago. I've watched it all the time. - Yeah, maybe. - It is extraordinary, but I only bring it up because now that she's played Elfaba. Every time I play it, I hear her say Alfie instead of Alfie. - Oh, yeah. (laughs) - Just check it out. Her voice is stupid. Her voice is stupid. Deon Warwick was up there crying. Queen Lativa was up there, also honored. - Oh, no, that's a thing. That Vim Bitches, especially, I mean, I knew Ariana could sing, but Cynthia, I saw Cynthia Riva on Broadway. And I lost my mind. It just don't even, you wouldn't even think a voice that big would come out of somebody that small. And so, again, I just wanna understand it, like as a bitch who can really, really sing, why you wanted non-singing people in this movie. I just, I don't get it. - They might have really wanted the leads to be the highlighting voices of the thing. I just don't know why. - I don't know why. - I don't know why. It's basically the show where everybody can sing. - But people who know the music of Wicked, I'm sure y'all were like, oh, this is going to take away greatly from the film. Like, this is going to impact the film in a negative way. - It makes immersion. - It does make my immersion. - Yes, and that is, I can't wait for you to see part two. That is my, whereas the first one had me in throw the second one I kept coming out of it. I kept being part of the movie, so. - I kept it. - But we will discuss at another date and time as for now that we'll wrap up this week's episode of The Read. Check us out on social media.
