Remember When Apartments Were $500?

The speaker shares a deeply personal journey of finding a new home in a historically Black neighborhood, praising the care, stability, and authenticity of their new apartment managed by a dedicated Black landlord. The experience evokes a strong sense of belonging and emotional connection, reinforcing the idea that a home should feel like a place where one has always belonged. The conversation expands to personal decisions about furniture, especially a sleeper sofa with an L-sectional design, reflecting on comfort, functionality, and the desire to host family. Themes of mindful consumption and intentional living emerge as the speaker expresses regret over rushed, impulsive early purchases. A digression into cultural ownership, particularly around the character Miffy, highlights how shared items can carry emotional value. The narrative also emphasizes the importance of rest and breaks in creative work, warning against burnout from relentless production. Finally, the speaker critically evaluates film nominations, using linguistics to argue that accent authenticity—especially in portrayals of regional accents—should be a key standard in representation, citing examples like Michael B. Jordan’s nuanced Southern accent in *Seniors* versus Timothy Chalamet’s inaccurate New York accent in *Marty’s Supreme*. The discussion concludes with a call for greater cultural awareness and integrity in media, as well as a personal commitment to thoughtful, sustainable living.

[MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Hey. Hey. And like what about pitch perfect? What about war is over? Hey, can I talk to you guys? Yeah, no feel free. Oh, war is over. War is over. Guys, war is over. I signed a lease yesterday. And I'm also like, no shade. I'm low-key scared. I need to get the money transfer and then get the keys in my hand. And then I'll celebrate because I have a vlog on my YouTube channel, my Tutu channel. That literally has me in process of finding a place and then, oh, let me back up. Of finding a place and then literally they literally were like, sit and then I sat and I still didn't get the treat. So that was really hard. But in the sense that now that there's a place that I have my name on type shit, I'm like, well, let me see the keto. Let me see the keto. But she's really cute and lovely. And the landlord is like a girl and she's tea. And she's like a woman of color. And I'm like, thank God. Thank God. No, and that's how I feel about my landlord. She's black. And I was telling Maya my neighborhood is like, I didn't know this because you wouldn't think that it was historically black, unfortunately, but it is historically black. And wake that up. Because I found their Instagram page because sometimes we have like block parties and stuff because it's like pretty residential. Yeah. Anyway, so with that being said, like she really like keeps it the price correct. No way. She doesn't raise it. Like, I mean, it should be so much more just because of the area. Right. Like whatever. Well, and having on the inflation because you've been there long enough to where it's like, I feel like you also are lucky to be locked in like that specific agreement. You know what I mean? Well, yeah. And like, they raised it for the first time, but only by like $100. Well, because they can't raise it more than like what? Three percent. Yeah. And like, now it's supposed to be like one or two, which I'm like tea. And also I, for the, for the law of it, I'm like, well, and we'll see because in three months, I might be ripping my hair out. But the rent itself is, and see how I was going to say cheap. And then it's like, well, why do we have to pay to live anyway? So let's talk about that. Let's wake up when like an apartment used to be $500. Does anyone give a fuck? Um, but like the rent is like cheap. Bah. And the sense of like, I mean, y'all, well, y'all, I haven't said how much. Like what my budget is, but like y'all know my tea. Like I literally was looking at shit like in LA, like it'll be max budget if you want like laundry on site. Um, but like this place, she's like, literally on some like low rent shit because she's like building like a studio in the back. And she was like, hey, like, no shade. It's so nice. And like you get all the bells and whistles too. So like, that's really awesome. And it's really cute. And like, she's like, really good care of the place. No, and that's the, because guys, you would, you like LA, which is LA landlords, if it was up to me, like I would have like an America's Got Talent of fucking LA landlords or like an American idol where I'm like, show me your unit. And if you're shit, like the girls me literally trying to like get you in an agreement for something where it's like, but like the roach opened the door for me. Do you know what I mean? I've seen genuinely over the last like month and a half. I've probably genuinely seen like 40 plus units. Wow. And these motherfuckers literally like you open the door and the door falls off the hinge and they're like, we're thinking like 4,500, I'm like 45, 4,500 and it'll be no laundry on site. No, like I think that the, the meeting of the landlord, we had like a kidaw yesterday because I was like, before I signed this lease, like let me just walk through one more time because y'all know like I signed my lease debt like debt us almost like site unseen. And then I like open the pantry and there was literally a pair of shorts in there like never forget like genuinely, I'm like now like actually though. So it's like if you're looking at a place, especially these vintage bitches like now I literally open every single cabinet, I'm like, what's going on? But all that to say like that was before I knew that there were landlords who like genuinely don't give a fuck about their places. And so with this diva, I'm like, I could tell she gave a fuck like she installed a little light in the closet for some reason. I'm like, period. And like she walked me through. And yesterday we were just like keying about like the people who've like lived there before and she like, like all apparently all the divas elite be like girl, like I'm sick. And nobody's with nobody has lived there for less than six years. I'm like, that's a good sign. That was our place before because like, it was like an LA County judge lived at our place like literally until her retirement. Yes. And then it was like my friends and they lived there for like two years. And then after that we've been there for almost like five plus years. So it's just like it's giving like the really good places like either word of mouth or it's giving like because no one in our neighborhood like it's so rare. Like there's this place down the street that I always talk about that's so cute. And like when it first got taken was literally five years ago. And then yeah, someone recently swooped it up maybe in like the last year. But like I remember when it was on the market, I'm like, that's so crazy. Like we really just be like, setting up shop and like never want to have you on setting up shop. I'm like, yeah. I will say I feel like very inspired by this place. Like I've only felt like that about like one other place and like I talked to my fucking terror reader and I won't say too much on it because like it would docks my shit because she literally be like, are you ready to read her right now? I'm like, yeah. But in essence, she was kind of just like go ahead and stay in like this specific area. Like and one thing that she said that really stuck with me and there was ironically before I went and saw this place where she was just like, like when you go in, she was like when you go in, you should like feel like you live there already. And I was like, tea and I like went into this place and I was like the rug, like the couch, like I see it. I see it. So that's how I felt too when I moved into like this place. Yeah. I feel like any place I've ever lived in like I always felt like I was going to live there before. I live there. Yeah. Yeah. I guess you just like know the deep inner knowing the deep inner knowing as my therapist. And I'm like, and thank God. And now I just have to like pick what color couch I want and I'm like trying not to get stressed about it. But you know whatever. There's a lot of. You talk. Well, there's a lot of couches. Well, my problem is that I want a sleeper couch. Like I did us want one though, like pull a mattress out because like when my parents come, I want them to be able to sleep. Okay. I went to IKEA recently. And she's really, she really got a face lift. She does have a facelift. She has a serious face. Well, because she's serious and like you bitches can't sleep on IKEA. It's no shade. No. Well, I was going to say they had a sleeper. So fun. That I was like, when I get my office, I want to like put it in there because they're sleeper, that sleeper sofa in specific was so tea. Yeah. And it turns into an actual like, well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Not trundaloo, but like bundle, like, bedaloo, like literally, well, and that's what has me fucked up those. I'm like, the thing is because I've seen I've seen IKEA's sleeper sofas. My problem is that not only do I want a sleeper sofa, I want a sleeper sofa with like a fucking L sectional. So it's just like fucked up. Oh, okay, I'm gonna cut my foot off, I'm gonna cut my foot off, no, IKEA has one of those. Do they? Yes, they do because I know someone who had one. Well, I'm not to be like, can we look on IKEA's website, but I'm literally like wait because I didn't see it. And I didn't see that though. And I didn't see that though because I've only seen a lot of the two seats and it's giving like, if I want, oh, okay, I see that just looks a little like from my experience with IKEA. Well, that's why. Yeah, I was wondering why I didn't because I want like a mattress to come out so I can throw like a mattress top around the hoe and handle it because my dad about to be like my back. Oh, and dad. Well, I was gonna say, I'm like, okay, go to the daybeds, the daybed alloo. They have some cute ones, like when I was there, yeah, well, they do look at that one. Oh, but you want the L. Why did you just get an ottoman? A what? Like, I don't know. I mean, that's a good point. I could get an ottoman. I'm just like, not sold on it. Like my parents have an ottoman and I'm literally like, that's it on comfy. Can I say it? Yeah. I'm sorry. Sorry. A and y'all. What's that? There's this one company that it like turns into an actual, well, there's a couple of divas like that. Well, because I could also just go to living spaces. They have one. But Joybird is like this like, country one that has it. But also like, those are giving like, that's going to be the lot. That's going to be a month. Well, I'm like, yeah. That one. That actually. Yeah. I think it's like two. One, dude, the bus down one that like, if you like, if I ever got rich, like, uh, there would be signs. It's like, there's this one American leather or something, but they shit like six now. But the, but the girlies are saying you can sleep on that hoe every night is how comfortable I was like, what? But I don't need it every night. Oh, what's that? I think that's actually pretty good. That's a really good deal. No, the girl. 61 inch sleeper. E. Lay. But you want it. Right. You want it like a proper couch. Do you want like a, because I can't fit all y'all on that couch. Sorry. Okay. You want a sex, like, a proper sectional. Yeah. That's also a bed. Like real bad. Okay. And so I'm going to be serving like, I'll probably get like that and then like, nothing else for a year. And that's okay. That's okay. Oh, this is not. Well, that's what I was saying. I need to go to living spaces. But the other thing is, I don't know if I want a cream couch. You don't have to get cream, but they don't have many a color, like it'd be like cream and like blue. I'm like, blue. No, they can customize it. See, I told you, I haven't looking. Hey, I've been looking. Well, living spaces won't. They don't give a fuck. It's okay. Yeah, they will. If you go to their showroom. I will go chat. You can tell them what you're trying to do. I will go check. Yes, I will. Oh, wait. Bob's discount, like, boom. The place that I know I can get like a bus down Bundaloo is Joybird, but I've read many of things. And that's the thing, like, cream. Sundays for nature. Sundays for nature. Sundays for nature. I don't know if I've seen that. I don't have them. Look through your sectionals. I think Lindsey just got a couch in them. Shout out Lindsey Ram. Yeah, she got a mad cute, honestly, because I'm like, it's like one of those deep, we'll see. because joybird literally do they want to, but then it's like, give me three foul, I'm like, what? But like, they shit literally be like, what color you want? Like a kind of like opal, like a, you know what I mean? It's just like, fuck, so. - I wonder if we can like, work something out, joybird. - Well, can I whisper to Joybird? Joybird, please, please. (laughing) Like, when the DM literally is like, "Oh, okay, I see you, I see you, I see you, I see you." - But then it's like the fucked up part about this is then it's like, bitch, what color? Nobody wants to talk about what color though. And then it's like, well, what color is the couch? Because then that informs the rug, then that informs everything, you know? - I like that deep red. If you were gonna do a color, - I was thinking about deep red. - The two. - Red is so deep. - But I kinda wanna deep red rug, 'cause then what color would my rug be? - That tease, whatever you just were on, Sav was so. - Yeah, I've, yeah, that's like shit. - That tease is like crazy. - I mean, here's the thing though. Joybird, let's collab. - Joybird, can I talk to you? Like, I'll take a picture, like, oiled up on the fucking couch. (laughing) - I don't know, I don't know. (laughing) - When I do that, they take off like $400. I'm like, wait, really? Come on. (laughing) I like, come on, come on. - It's like free shipping. - Oiled up for $1,000. (laughing) - Can I get oiled up for $1,000, sorry. - No, oiled up for two. Why? - Oiled up for two, come on. Center full spread, three, come on. (laughing) Come on. - Or your life savings for. - Or my life savings. (laughing) - Like, I don't know. - Perfectly, I'll take it. - Um, yeah. - For a couch that everyone can sit on and play Switch, fuck. - Yeah. - And, you know, you could add chairs. Or, you know, we can do a stack. They have IKEA has new stackable stools. - I was thinking about the stackable stools. - That I'm like, those are mag cute. The chairs also from IKEA are stackable. - Tea. - There's some, yeah. - Mistool. - Mistool. - Oh, you know what? Actually, I would get that I really, I mean, I like my bean bag. - Yeah. - From Urban. - Yeah, your bean bag. - The bean bag's tea, but also the poofs. - The poofs. - The poofs are way more comfortable. And those are so easy to store. Like, you know, if you don't want them. Yeah. Like the poofs are so tea. - For like floor cushions, are nice. - 'Cause I'm like, Urban, yeah. Those like bean bag poofs that they have, like the little square bust down. - No, and that's how a Trudeau. It's just like annoying because when I sit on the couch, I'm the bitch that's on the part of the aisle. You know what I'm saying? Like, I like the leg out, so I'm like, fuck, because then I'm gonna have to lay sideways. - Well, that's how I'm gonna get, that's what, like I feel like with the poofs, it's like a good compromise 'cause you could like, have your back supported and then just have your legs down. - And do one thing. - Yeah, that's a good idea. - There's a lot of options. It's just the vibe of like when the canvas is blank and then I'm literally like, what? But then also like a couch feels like kind of a bigger like, like that's kind of like the whole shit, like we're around the couch, you know what I mean? So, I get that. I feel like that's kind of what we did. I feel like that was the one thing that we didn't drag our feet on. 'Cause I mean, like everything else in our house, it took like, that's the one thing I do regret. I mean, we were so young, we were like 21, 22. When we like moved into our place and it was so big that like, I mean, your place still will be a lot to like furnish it 'cause like, it's just gonna take time. But when we moved into our place, like, there was this kind of anxiety about it being empty, so we were like, just started like buying shit and I like really regret that. Because there's a lot of, I mean, there's only like one thing, actually there's three things that we've kept since our first initial like big buying things. And I'm like, I just regret that and I wish I took my time because now, I mean, also too, you know, you have to save up like some like Facebook marketplace. - Well, that's about it. I've literally been on Facebook Marketplace already. Like what? 'Cause that's where I'm gonna get the only thing that I wanna buy or that I'm going to buy brand new is a new mattress, a new bed frame and a new couch. - I just remember, like-- - Just remembering. - No, I just remember when I first moved and I was like, I need a mattress, I do need a mattress. Well, because I'm like, I've like had the same mattress since I was literally like a kiddo. So I would love like, I'm well, and it's all about money, but like in my dream, I want to genuinely take with me like mugs, like mugs, maybe my dresser, my laptop, and like some undies, you know what I'm saying? And other than that, I'm like, just burn the shit. - And like me undies. - And me undies. - Are you gonna have a king size bed? - Yeah, are you upgrading the size? - Well, I think I'm gonna go for a queen. - Okay. - Is my vibe. 'Cause I don't want the bed to like, I'm not like so pressed about the bed that I wanted to take up the room. And the room is like, like the actual like, bedroom is pretty big. So like in my head, I'm like, vanity dresser bed. Funions, like I don't know, like vines on it. I don't know. And I'm thinking about getting one of those like, lift up to pole label. And I'm thinking about getting one of those fucking lift up bed frames, no shade. Like I live in New York or something. - Oh, a Murphy bed? - Like, no, no, no, not even a Murphy bed. Like that ass, like the fucking (laughing) - Oh, the storage. - Yeah, like the one we can literally, have you seen those? - Yeah. - No, they like, I'm sorry to make these things pop and there's like, the lift up bed because they literally be like, oh, like that? Yes, no shade. - Look, that's furniture again. And it's, I mean, I know that like, biblically accurate is for the girls who like, literally live in like a New York apartment. They need to like, put their shit under. But it's low, oh, Sunday's right, like you're saying. But I'm sorry, it's kind of conti. - This, see. - Oh, exactly. - There were signs. - There were signs, there were signs. - Exactly, no, it's Sunday. - Sunday. - Sunday. - Sunday. - Well, that's, is that like the queen? - Well, I don't know. I don't know about that, about that, though. - That one. - I don't know about that one. - The concept of it. - Yeah, yeah. - Or like, or like, really lift up bed. - Oh, perfect. - Oh, perfect. Like, I don't need to sleep, you know what I mean? Or like, oh, like, oh, like that. Like, oh, cool. That's not cool. - Oh, I have that. That one from Article. - Hydraulic. Sorry, I was trying to say hyaluronic. It's like. - Ooh! - Wait, okay, from Wayfair. - Yeah, like, well, and when that shit literally anyway, we'll see. But you know what I mean?

But I'm just like, where am I gonna put my Christmas tree? - The tea about Article that I love so much is the fact that like, you can add things to it later. So like, right now I just have the frame, but they you want like a, like a, what's it called? - Headboard. - A headboard? (laughing) I know, how do you like not having a headboard? - I love it. - Okay, boom. - But the thing, but the thing I will say though, is like, I don't mind it, it doesn't bother me, but I also got off TikTok shop, it was actually my first purchase. Those like pillows, you know those like pillows that you put behind pillows. - Like a wedge pillow. - A wedge pillow. - Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. - I put a wedge pillow 'cause you know I like to watch TV and you die. - I mean, it hides behind your pillows.

'Cause everyone was hearing me talk about like Dom has no bed frame ass bitch, like. - Okay, but also like, what is it on those little pegs? - It stands on the peg. - There's hell of pegs though. I mean, it's dirty as shit. I've slept in it once. But what I was gonna say was, I was talking to my friend and he was telling me, he was like, oh, I had a Floyd bed forever. Like, all the stuff. And I was like, dude, I want one so bad. Like, I think I'm literally gonna buy it. And he was like, well, and I was like, well, what's he? And he was like, well, if you bring someone over, that mattress is sliding right off. - Oh, I'm literally like, it's a piece of wood.

And well, if you have beds, like, I don't know, let me know. Like, literally, or a bed frame. Like, I don't know. - Sundays. - Well, and like, yeah, I'm just like, 'cause guys, 'cause genuinely, like, those are the three things that I'm like, I'm serving like those TikToks where it will be like, when you just have money for the deposit, and then you're like sitting in an empty space, I'm like, fuck. I mean, I could bring my bed with me, but just like, on the spiritual cleansing, like, I'm off. - Well, that's what I was gonna say. - Everything I'm off it. - I feel like that'll also inspire you to like, get something you actually want. - Yeah. - Well, and also, when I moved, I was on an air mattress for literally, like, a month. - No, in the realness of that. - A queen air mattress, and she got me together. - Like, boom. - And she was boom.

Nego. Oh, I'm just like the Miffy to like, I don't know. I almost-- I'm scared to say it, but I feel like we like have almost like too much ownership of Miffy at this point like where it's like, didn't make up. That was Dick Bruna. Guys, it was Dick Bruna. It was Dick Bruna. And like we just like happened to have this here. We just-- It was in our house. It was-- Well, like Dick Bruna, R-I-P. R-I-P. It just-- This is what happened with Miffy, OK? We were like talking about the-- like talking about Miffy gate. OK, Miffy gate. Here's the thing. We love Miffy. Yeah. I'm pleased. But when we did the pod, when we were doing the pod set up, we just used the corner of my house. Right. We're cute. It's giving like y'all love Miffy. Yeah. I love Miffy now, in the sense that like, we took a man almost. Yeah, we took Miffy in because-- And now it's Miffy. Because Miffy was like, that was the only Miffy thing I've ever owned in my life. Well, that's the part that has me because I'm like, that was the only Miffy thing that we owned between us. And like, now it's-- And it wasn't even mine. I didn't even own it. It was actually Quintins. And still is. And still is. And it's still Quintins. And then you Quintin. So it was just like funny. So it was just mad funny because we love you guys. Of course. Of course. And like, but it just has this week sometimes, when like, someone will yell at us and be like, "Put Miffy on merch." And it will, no, they'll be like, put the bunny on merch. And I'm like, well, his name's Miffy. And the IP is owned by Tepruna. And we can't do anything about that. And we'd get to go. Like luckily, I very much resonate with like a bunny. Like I've been getting like, bunny my whole life in the sense that like, I'm like, you're of the rabbit. So I'm like, I fuck would a bunny. Like, loving huh? But we didn't make-- I think all of it. So it was just like me looking at all the Miffies. I'm like, well, because now we've accumulated many of Miffies. We've accumulated all of them. Or like, you know, now the Miffies that we have are so special-- Oh, yeah, because they mean something now. Like, someone like crocheted this one by-- Yeah. Yeah. This, these Miffies. Like love. From SAP. Well, and also I'm like this from Noelle and Alina. And like, all of the upper Christmas. It was so sweet. It's just like funny when we think about it because it was like, it's giving like unintentional. Unintentional? Untentional? Untentional. Untentional. I'll show you intentional. I'll show you intentional right now. But anyway, so yeah, just think about your friends who has to like pick a couch for the first time in their life. Like, I'm also realizing that I've never decorated my space. Like, any space that I've lived in, I've genuinely never decorated it. Other than my room, of course. But like, so that's kind of the vibe that I'm going off of, where I'm like-- Ayesha Mar. Grace is the sound. Actually, you got awful. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I'm sorry, Grace. I'm sorry. No, that's OK. No, it's OK. No, it's OK. No, it's OK. No, it's OK. No, it's OK. No, it's OK. Barbells. Talk about collabs. Like peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter and jelly. Barbells-- y'all. OK, here's the thing. I hate protein. I hate protein. Unless it's like, you know, a chicken and panada or something like all. No, like, no, let's talk about it. But borbals. Like, borbals. Borbals. I just like still don't understand the idea of like genetic-- like, 3D printed protein. Yeah, can I say it? No, you can say it. I agree. I mean, I think it's just like-- It's a way. Is that-- Wait, what? Like, I don't understand how it would be like protein bar. But it's like, what? The way, like, in the sense-- Well, yes, like literally the way. But like, when I think about it, I'm just like-- What do you mean? Well, and that's the thing. I mean, it tastes 3D printed for the most part. But this barbells flavor, the peanut butter and jelly, I just-- I don't know, it was here at the office. They sent us-- they sent a fridge. Damn. Damn. I know. They sent a fridge in hats. To who, Noelle? No, we don't know. We don't know. No, we don't know. We don't know. Barbell head, he's a barbell. He's a barbell. He's the bell of the bar. Missing him. He is the bell of the bar, actually. He is the bell of the bar, like awesome real safe. We want to talk about it. No, because that's the holiday party. Tell me why, first of all. And what about, like, if we had a girl holiday party? Well, because you're in a boy holiday party. What if we had no and no shade, but like-- And see, guys, like, this is what happens when you all, like, let us in, because I feel like we're literally in the stew, like, and what if we just, like, I don't know, like, something-- if y'all put us in charge of the holiday party next year? No, no, no, if you're listening, no, if you're listening. Because it was a key dot, and it's just giving, like, well, what if we ran ours? Yeah. What if we ran our, like, Barbie holiday party? What if we had a Barbie holiday party, and then a can holiday party? And a can holiday party. And then we'll know, well, you would have to go to both. But, like, you know, everyone else can decide what they want to do. We'd still go to both, you know what I mean? Because, like, we keep regardless. But, like, it's also just, like, what if we had, like, a Christmas decorating holiday party, too? A Christmas cookie. Christmas cookie. A Christmas cookie, a, um-- Or, like, we get those egg loos. We get the egg loos. We all try to fit in one egg loo, here it is. That'd be awesome. Like, love that. So we have ideas, and we have thoughts, you know what I mean? We have so many days to be out. But it was at a pool hall, which, obviously, it's no stranger. If you follow Noel, that he's, like, obviously addicted and obsessed with pool. Like, he has an affliction for two things. Go party. And poo. And poo. Yeah. But, like, mind you, we can't play pool. So it's just like-- That's okay. It's hard to learn out in the wild. Like, that should be feeling like Marty Supreme. Like, it's like, you try to go to, like, a pool spot, like, just like a regular pool spot, because, no, obviously, it was, like, come play. And I was, like, king, I don't know. Like, I don't even know how to hold the shit. But, like, you go to a regular pool hall, and they litter, like, it's just, like, boo. Well, and also, because it's mad serious. It's mad serious. We know. And, um, everyone who's good, has been playing since, like, when I was a young man, like, you know, when I was a young, when I was a young boy. And the thing is, too, it's hard. Like, you, and also, your ass is in the air, and it's just like, it's almost like riding a bike in my head. It feels like where it's like, when you start to understand, like, the language of, like, the ball and the cue, like, then you can probably, like, do your big one, but, like, you have to learn that. It's also, like, the touch, like, the touch, because when you play pool, like, you think you need to hit it hard. Like, or, or you hit it. No, and I get it. I get it. I get it. It's like, not hard enough. It's too soft. It's too hard. It's too hard. It's too strong. So I'm sorry. I just have to say it out loud. I'm just, like, thinking about us, like, getting our sport back after the break. Oh, my God. Can we talk about the benefits of a break? Guys, well, and here's the thing, you guys. We will never let you guys go without, okay? Oh, ever that. Ever that. Never that. But I'm like, y'all, y'all had commentary about we were a little behind. We were behind on some topics. We were behind. But it was only just because we needed to take two of them. We did, because last year was also like, like, last year was so bust down in a serious way where it started to give, like, whoa. Well, everything changed to because, like, last year for, like, a good, not a good part, but, like, a decent little chunky on a Grande. We were, like, still kind of doing it. Yeah. And then it's like, now, you know, we're uplifted. Yeah. We're very much supported by it, because I'm, like, I couldn't even imagine, like, genuinely do it. Dude, I, the other day I, like, went through, me, like, talking to the team. I'm like, I don't know. But the other day I was going through, I don't remember why I was doing this. Oh, because it was almost our hundredth. And I just, like, for some reason, like, wanted to like, see every fucking, like, for, but, oh, no, like, like, literally believe that. But I literally was going through our, just like, I was just like going, I was on YouTube. I was going through, like, our YouTube studio, like, going through the shit. And I was just like, damn, like, I think I texted you guys or something, but I was just like, I forgot that we used to do, like, all of that. Like, I literally used to, like, wait for the shit to render for four hours, and then like, post it. And like, we do the description. We do the thumbnail. Like, it's just like, crazy to think about. No, and the clips, the clips, and also the freaking, um, the clips, the clips, the social, thank you. No, guys, just like, thank you, like, actually, like, seriously, we say, thank you. Like, it's, it's, it's nasty with a poochie outfit, bro. And, well, and also, too, we, we love being involved with anything we do. Like, we love, like, the key key, the lab, like, all of it. But I'm like, that era was so insane. It was so. like Diggie Simmons and I was talking to Sav about it the other day and like I Feel like the vibe to and even just like within the breaks of it all like guys like We'll let you know when we go on break, but like even this is just kind of giving like As the things as things like grow and as we try to like like to your point We do like to have our hand in everything like nothing really like goes without us seeing you know And I mean like we like to be very involved in all these things It's just like one of those vibes where it's like The farm like if we have a farm and like I'm trying to give you guys like fresh-bought eggs every day Like and I need to focus on the chickens You know what I mean? But then it's like now we have pigs and like now we have cows and it's like Running around to every single shit bitch like I miss half the eggs, you know what I'm saying? So like sometimes it's just like I feel like I feel like I'm not gonna speak for both of us, but I feel like it's like for example the break of it all like Genuinely to keep the sanctity of like the egg yeah To keep the sanctity of like sitting down and like keying once a week like we had to do we had to like hand off the pigs Yeah, and like hand off the cows like because if not like I just think about Genuinely that grind like I was just so grateful. It was like crazy. It's like it was crazy Yeah, and we're also like working out of that when that's what I mean like now like as things expand like the cows being like Getting to tour and like the pigs being like working on merch like all these things. That's like the only way to because if there was just And let me not say no way because we can do anything and like we stretched ourselves and we were doing it Like we're handling it like with our hair up with some gangstrap on But like when you think about it just in terms of like the mental health and everything It's just like there was no way that we could have been doing that grind like we are only able to like do more because of like Yeah, like we are only able to do anything more than like upload and post clips because of y'all because genuinely that took up like the entire week No, genuinely. Well, and then we would literally be like Squidward that literally like he's like What Squidward was that I don't know. He's like the montage. Yeah. What? Oh, where he was smashed where he was smashed Yeah, I don't know the one of the things where Squidward is smashed We were serving that one the one where it's just as teeth in his mouth. Do you see that doubt? Yeah, I went like that was us No, and also the one next to it where he's like he has hell of pores and like So it's just like you know and read the break. I think we should definitely put that in this is this is a message to all creatives and people just in general because like You know but Twix the like fucking capitalist grind of like our divas who work 9 to 5's like I know it can be hard to find these times, but like The break break the break. Well, and also too. It's like I Mean this is with any job and like obviously I understand the privilege of our job because I used to literally work retail Bust out bundle loose like and they'd literally be like spit in your face turn it around wicked wit Like girl, I don't give a fuck about it. I'd be here tomorrow. Yeah, but it's just yeah It's like the burnout so real and like it happens. It's like so easily to like so many people I mean you'll literally see someone who posted for like I don't know 10 years straight on YouTube And then you'll never hear from them again. Oh, yeah, and I'm like dude. I don't blame them only simply because I'm like You literally went non stop all gas no breaks for a 10 years straight. Yeah with a poochie outfit built an empire Yeah, and enjoyed none of it probably honestly. Well, yeah, cuz it do be like at the end of the day Everything tainted in fucking tainted by capitalism But I'm like the grind is like ever fierce like it appears that it's saying and it's yeah No with a poochie out with a poochie outfit because I think to like, you know We're so big on like keeping the vibe like correct and keeping the vibe like us and like saying normal and like the balance of like You know saying no to things so we can say yes to like things that matter So yeah, you know that tease but I'm like, sorry it took us like a little bit to talk about heated rival And I put the same because I'm like, you know what like we had to come back with like a real glimmer And I to be honest because also I'm like not to be like the friend who I've been in like the only depression arc Like I'm not like a depression claim my in terms of like usually. I'm so hyperactive that like I don't really like exhibit Signs of depression like my my shit comes out as like all of a sudden I'm like doing how like when I start spending money like that's how you know it's giving like How is you cool? You know, I mean like the cheap dopamine fix and that's how I knew because I went to the mall two days in a row Through the cart down the credit card guys. Let's talk about credit through the credit card down Then it's hella funny then you toward a part of it You love and you have to do a credit check and you know shit down time points. I was like fuck literally fuck No, I'm sorry like I was in a need for speed like credit card. I was in a need for speed But anyway, I'm like yeah, the depression arc of also just like I was watching like when I was watching the last couple episodes before which it's no team It's no shade because we come as we are, you know, I'm saying like we come real I was like will her right eyes closed like her right eyes closed like somebody helper in the sense of like Wow, yeah, like what about like real life shit to where it's literally like oh my fucking god Yeah, if we were working through like The hall or if we were just like filming and then like doing work shit like through that break time I think I actually would have like I would have only had one tooth by the end of that Like we're just like one tooth in the middle because it's just like The also like life collab of like the year of the snake situation. I'm like Skin skin raw. Yeah, we're on the come-up. We're on the come-up and it's nasty and like we're excited We already have like some fun stuff planned y'all don't even freaking know about right.

It was a good little bit. What'd you say? Sorry, can we zoom in just a little bit? Yeah, yeah, it was a good movie Don't get me wrong. But I'm like stop playing with him riot. I can do it at this other view as well I was just trying to do it in order. No, it's fine. We can go back to this Okay, and I just I'll be honest. I didn't see like any of those movies right but what you need to know is f1 should not be on that list There it's nominated for other things which we'll get to and those make a little more sense like cinematography sound maybe but even that I'm like for best picture is actually isn't it brap it? Yeah, bad brap it and an interest No, damn damn damson adress. Yeah, wait, can you go up? What is this category for this is best picture? Oh, it's all best picture I need I do need to see one battle after another. I do need to see that too. Yeah, let's what have you seen on this? I've seen Frankenstein which you with live Gorgeous gorgeous gowns. I know I know and y'all know I love me a gothic bus sound It's just like I like I said guys like I've only had time to be on Zilla That's what nose for off you thought it was doing no shade and wake that up. Oh, maybe maybe block that I don't know y'all got mad nose for Bob boo. No, I also do look. He was giving like huh? It's no shade. It's no shade.

Wait, did you say that? - Yeah. - Okay, sorry. - Guys, what a guy, he's just one guy. (laughs) - Guy, what up? - Man, fuck it. Okay, sorry. Anyway, next. - I'm not really okay with either of these being on this list, but I'll save mine for you for another day. - You really didn't like it? - No, I did not think it was bad, I didn't think it belongs on the best. - No, no, I just don't think it belongs in the category with the rest of these. And I mean, I've seen all of them, but these two. - It makes more sense that Frankenstein's on there than F1 though. - Agreed, agreed. But if I had my way, my way, Frankenstein's. - Anyway, okay. - Well, what would you say? Because if I tried to watch movies for real, what would you have put on there? - Oh, my god. - Instead. - That is a question I have not thought through yet, but I-- - Yeah, like what was another hit movie? - There is more. - Like if I had legs I'd kick you, might be a good one on there. - I just remembered like literally wicked for good. - Right, wicked for good. - Which, and you know what? Like let's go ahead and rewind the tapes because I'm not saying wicked for good did what wicked did. Just wicked. - I don't know if I can't wicked. - Like what? - But what I am saying is last year everybody was, well, don't worry, it'll be next year. This is why I don't trust that shit. 'Cause they're paying the girls' dust. - Oh, it was nominated for best picture. - Yes, last year and then the remember, everybody was like, oh, well, don't worry. Like it's just because they're waiting for next year, baby, what's next year? You bitches think you know anything about the future? - That's so crazy, 'cause it really should have won last year. - It should have won last year, especially if you bitches weren't gonna set it up this year. You're telling me, all of a sudden, it shouldn't corrupt, that's crazy. Like when I needed to be corrupt, it's not corrupt. - Oh, 'cause Michael B. Jordan and Seniors, and he was two people, so not with that. - Baby, he's not getting that. - If Timmy was? - Baby, he's not getting that, and I'm gonna tell you that right now because here go Timothy and here go Leo. - I don't give a fuck. Michael B. Jordan was two fucking people. - Michael B. Jordan also just literally shit. - Well, no one let's wake it up. - I felt when I after I watched Seniors and all the white people were leaving, couldn't even stay for after the end. I was like, just go be a racist piece of shit. - Well, 'cause we don't wanna talk about literally the job he did in Seniors and let me say this, and let me go ahead and do my own research real quick. Let me say this. Y'all know, I sat through Marty's Supreme, you would have thought I was like, I don't know a guy on X, okay? Like I literally watched that movie, I was like, wow. - And here's the thing, we got, thank you A24. - Well, and thank you A24 and thank you, Timothy, Dupree, Chalamet, like we get it, but here's, let me just say one thing, and let me go ahead and, 'cause I pulled it up because I knew I was gonna talk about it at some point, let me say this. My king, who literally does the fucking, like, he studies linguistics. Do you know who I'm talking about? And he does the accent shit? - Yes. - Hold on. I'm like me typing in, guess my accent? Because I also need him to do me no shade, so I'll be talking to him, but I need to give him like a proper shout out. Zay. Oh my god, Zayjupree, Zayjupree, I'm sorry. - Zayjupree. - I'm sorry I was saying Dupree, like I was like, I don't know. He's actually at Zayjupree, okay, mind you. He did a read of Timothy Chalamet's accent, that actually had me like, you know what? Shut up. - Shut up. - Because he said he gave it a three out of 10. - He's excellent. - He gave it a three out of 10. Like literally was on some like bitch at the very least. I think he said it should have been non-roadic, but he was using roadic, which is like, use, well, and let me actually shut the fuck up before I start spewing misinformation. But from a girl who's watched his take talks and is like vaguely remembering, roadic having to do with like the R's in a word. Like Timothy Lotto is in that bitch. Like, are you serious? And like in New York, like they wouldn't do that though. And Zayjred, because he was also like, no shade, but that is like one of the most studied dialects. Like the old New Yorker accent is like, apparently one of the most studied dialects. So he was like, bitch, if you were about a fumble, like an accent, it shouldn't have been this one. Mind you, bitch is over here doing Russian and shit. So now it's Russian and shit for Crave Original. - Gave, well, and he also talked about Crave Original's Russian accent. He was like, he tore the eye, he tore a cassimps. - He tore a cassimps. - He tore a cassimps in the third. No shade. Like, okay, so Marty's, like, okay, Marty's supreme, sorry. Not too pretty, 'cause that's actually people's names. Marty's supreme. So now it's awkward. - Well, here's the thing. Timmy. - Great job. Like just period. - In the sense that. - In the sense that like, great job. Like I feel like, you know, despite not having a New Yorker accent, like he did a really good job, whatever I hated his guts, period. - I did hate his guts. - But not better than Michael B. Jordan in sinners. - Well, not better than just like a New Yorker. - Yeah. - No shade. - Not better than a New Yorker. - Well, and it's a little bit of a shame. - But I literally like, - He has one on Michael B too. Should we hold on, Sav, can I send it to you and can we watch it? 'Cause no, no shade. And I'm also like, I need to give Zay flowers because like that motherfucker, I'm sorry, not motherfucker. That man of much like knowledge and power and wisdom, hashtag wisdom, respect and dignity. Like, I am obsessed with you and I would like you to tell me where I'm from. So like, if y'all see a TikTok, let me know. Well, let's just go ahead and like, let's look at the source material. Let's look at the source material of those who have been like chosen to be like actor of the year. And I'll also say that like, if and when I ever have to like do a film or a TV show in which I do an accent, I'm not saying I'm a tarot. - I'm not saying this right now. I'm not saying I'm a tarot. - But I'm not gonna say, - My shit gonna be Rodic. - Yeah. - My shit gonna be Rodic. - And I might not get like the nomination that way. - And I'm probably, and if I get nominated and y'all literally like, right. - I love him so much. - No, let's go ahead and wake this up. And if y'all don't know about him, like let's just go ahead and know about him at Zay Duprey on TikTok, like loving him. - And as I've talked about before, the early to mid 20th century Jewish New Yorker accent is one of the most interesting accents in American history. So can Timothy Shalamay, a non-Jewish New Yorker from the 21st century, accurately pull it off? - Well, something super noticeable about Ryzen's accent is elbow cladation. It's one of the L sound in the Coda of a word final syllable, basically the L sound after the last vowel of a word, it's pronounced like a W or a vowel sound. It's pretty common in New York generally, but it's most common among older Jewish or black New Yorkers. We can hear it in Ryzen's speech and how he says ball, like ball, in this clip. - Every player will learn how to smash the ball, defending and smash the ball. - It's like how, what Shalamay doesn't do this. - Listen to how he says physical without elbow cladation in this clip. - Do you want to get physical? Like an A? - Another thing I notice about it. - Well, and I'm sorry, let's pause, let's pause. 'Cause we don't have to do the whole reading. Also, this to say Timothy, like, girl, you know, you know there's always a spot for you, it's no shade. Let's play the Michael B. Jordan that let's see. I'm looking at this in a way that's like great British bake off. Like I'm literally like, well, how stodgy is the dough? Like the cake is made. Like don't even, I'm like don't eat, you know what I'm saying? It's no shade, like I couldn't do it. I'm serving very much like talking about drag and like, I've never done drag, you know what I'm saying? But I'm just like, well, let's look at it. - We're in had a better performance than Timothy Shalamet, at least from a linguistic standpoint. While Michael B. Jordan's 1930's Mississippi Delta accent is pretty on point in Seniors, Timothy Shalamet doesn't even sound like he's trying through the accurate accent in Marty's Supreme. For starters, I wanted to listen to this clip of Michael B. Jordan speaking candidly in a Vogue interview. And specific, listen to how he says the first vowel in the word Michael. - Wait, this like Easter bus don't go that way. - Oh, Michael B. - Oh, okay sir. - She pronounces both vowels in the middle of the same Michael. This is because Michael B. Jordan was born in SoCal and raised in North. And neither of these areas have the Southern vowels shift, which would flatten the diphthong turning into Michael. But Jordan's character then Seniors are from the South. And so they do display the Southern diphthong flattening quality. Listen to how he says die as die here. - I see me in die. - Another thing I noticed that he does really well is non-retistic. And Jordan's candid speech, non-retistic, is kind of inconsistent. We can hear in this clip for example, he says grandmother, non-rotically. - My grandmother's famous wrong case. - Oh, okay. - That's a lot of love. - Okay, sorry. - Okay, sorry. - Sorry, sorry. - And uh, nurtured. Very nurtured. - Now this flip flop when he worked his-- - Wait, this sister shout out is crazy. Like I'm sure. - I'm sure. - Who aren't from the South. But Southern black Americans, especially those from the 1930s, tend to be a lot more consistently non-rotic. And in Seniors, Jordan's accent is always non-rotic. Listen to how he dropped VR at the end of ever here. - I never say no things. - The last thing I've note that I wanted to mention is that Jordan displays the cheer chair merger, which I found especially impressive because that merger is almost entirely extinct in the United States with the exception of Charleston. But historically, the merger did exist in the Mississippi Delta region, which is why in this clip, we can hear Michael B. Jordan say careful instead of careful. - Well, you were, be careful. - There's really not much I can think about my speech. - I'm like, I just lost it right there. So all I'm saying is it's like, I guess at the end of the day, it's giving like, what are we judging on? - Yeah, well, no. And that's what I'm saying. I'm like, I think that, you know. - Timmy, great performance. - Of course, it was, and that's the thing is before I literally watched Zay talk about like the actual accent bus down like the cop cop merger type shit, I literally was like, that's a New Yorker. - Well, actually, now I'm thinking about it. I even think of him like, I wasn't saying they're like, that's a New Yorker. I was kinda just like, I don't know. - That's a piece of shit. - But, um, but that has nothing, that's where he was supposed to do. - He was doing the piece of shit accent, you see? - He was doing the like, well. - Well, if you're a piece of shit, that's the accent, love that. But then I did watch that, and I was like, well, wait, because what about the nuances? - Because what about Michael B. Jordan? - What about Michael B. Jordan? - Literally being two people. - Two people accent bus down. Like, that's what I'm saying is when we like do it like that, then it's like, well, what way are we gonna go? Because if we wanna talk about like bitch, like the cake, like we're talking about the cake, but we're also talking about the buttermilk frosting. - Who was the father fucker who won last year, who was mad annoying, and if they have-- how to use AI to help his voice. And just set a bunch of fucking nothing, mind you. That was actually the perfect example of what it sounds like when men speak. - Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. - Like, Adrian Brody from The Drulu. - Oh my God, and it was Adrian Brody, which is so sick. - When men open their mouth and just start fucking talking and literally like, girl, you're not even saying shit, so it's just like, stop it. - The girls be talking. - And he literally took up the most time. And it's just like, you had to use AI to get your voice correct. So it's like, actually, like, you should actually be talking like this. - Oh my gosh. - Well, and we're gonna see what the vibe is because this is like the one where they pay for the shit, no shade. - Right, it's like, never forget. You pay really Bucu Nasty and it's like, what the-- - To win? To get your name. - To get your name. - Not to win. - Yeah. - To win. - But remember, like, Ignora had that bus down PR last year? - Oh yeah. - It's all in the PR, the marketing. It's a bit political. There's just like, oh, I don't know. It's like, sure, each award, that's like its own thing. But I think it's as like an artist that you can't really put too much weight on it 'cause it is so, like, calculated. - No, and that's what I'm saying. And so my T is just like, okay. From that list, I'm assuming it's between Michael B and it's between Timothy Chalamet, obviously. So my T is like, okay, both the y'all's performances, y'all ain't down. Now let's get to the nitty. - Right. - And if you wanna talk about the nitty, like, to me, apparently, you're using Rodic and you weren't supposed to. Like, it's like, we'll dammit. - Yeah. - And Michael B was a nama fucker, like, as you, as to your boy, two characters. Had my shit shook up? - Completely different, mind you. Like, yes, twins, but like, those were two people. - On the freaky Friday. Or what's the one that did that? Parent drops, sorry. - On the freaky Friday, shit. - Not too. - Jesse Buckley, Miss Hamnet come to the front because I need the-- - Boy, there goes sinners again. - Oh shit. Well, I'm sorry. - Jesse, I just, I do have to highlight that her in Hamnet was so deep. - I believe you. - Well, it Miss Bougone got. - Miss Bougone got. - People were also shocked by this. - I've never heard of that. - Oh my God, yes, they have. It has a billboard on fucking Santa Monica. - The billboards are everywhere. - Child. - Okay. - With, um, what's his face? - No, look it at all. - Yeah. - Like, that's crazy. - Oh, look it. - At all? - No, look it. - At all? But song song, blue? - Song song, y'all gonna piss me off. Y'all gonna piss me off, y'all gonna piss me off. - No shaking, like, I don't know, girl. - What the hell is Santa Monica doing? - If I had legs, I'd kick you shit off. - Oh no. - We'll put some respect on Renata's name. - Okay. - I'm happy with all of this except this. I haven't seen it though. - Okay, then I'm gonna shut the fuck up. 'Cause y'all know all of this. - This was a beautiful movie. - Santa Monica, can you show, can I just see the first? - Have you heard of Worse Person in the World? - Yeah. - Yes. - It's the same director. - Oh, you really? - Y'all came to your, Stellan Scars guard. - Damn, like, I saw Renata Ryan. - Is Bage Kingdom in this motherfucker, though? - I just don't like to see it. You see it, just like things that I said. - You know, it's always gonna be Bage Kingdom. - Sweetish. - Sweetish. - Well, no. - Are we judging always, like, what about hope? Like #hope. - Wow. - Are they all Bage Kingdom dead ass though? - Yeah. - Or weapon, or sinners. - Well, I haven't seen, no, no, no, I was talking about that list. I haven't seen any of those. - Wait, is that the, um, the weapons one? Is that the, oh my god, what? - What? - Gladys. - No. - Girl, I don't know what happened this year, 'cause I didn't have style. - Gladys. - Gladys. - Bage, if she took that, me not knowing anything about the other ones' existence. - Wait, what? - Or something like if she took that. - Oh, wait, no, but, and she only takes that. - She's the, um, like, well, one of the brothers, like, oh, he got it. She got it, and if she don't, like two girls who are visual learners, 'cause my general, we're looking at these names, like, um, - Is she the one who got it? - Again, racism is the life in which. - She, well, and what about, or take on her or what about mischief on them? - I don't take on a Taylor took it too. - 'Cause she took it too. - If Taylor, or would me one, I literally, like, everyone shut the fuck up. - She took it too. So let's be honest about it. - Well, but Amy, I'd take it just for the vibe. I'd take it just for the vibe. On some country. Oh, I didn't see the movie, though. You see, I just saw her at all the clubs all the sudden. - No, she, yeah, I saw the girls doing her in drag. I was like, well, she must a, so. - She was, she was. - 'Cause if they start doing you in drag, that's how you know you tour. - It's scary, though. - K-pop demon hunters. - Okay, Zootopia, too. - Zootopia, too, was so fucking good. Talk about wake, awake it up, Asphilm. - Well, it's gonna be K-pop demon hunter, though. - The inner workings of the city. I know we K-pop demon hunters, but the inner workings of the city and the racism and the things. - Yeah. - Zootopia, too. - Yeah, like, freedom's up my brother, like, I didn't see it, but yeah, okay, I didn't see any of these. That's the part we need to, like, we need to start doing. Okay, ooh, well, I haven't seen Frankenstein, but y'all know I do love a gothic bust to get a little, a little recognition. - Frankenstein, I watched it just, you know, on Black Friday. And it was, I did. - Like, your mom just, like, adding random shit to the story, like, I watched him on Black Friday. I'm like, okay. - I just remember being in a food coma state. Like, a fugue state. (laughing) - I was just like in a fugue state. - And I was like, how were you, like, shopping? - No. - And I was, like, genuinely, I low-key put that on on some, like, background, like, - Right. - Like, you know, something that's new, too. - Oh, yeah. - So woke me up, nasty, where I watched the whole thing.

(screaming) - And again, like, there's Marty Supreme. - Were the costumes sickening like that? - I think there was just like-- - Well, it's hard when you compare it to Avatar Fire and Ash and what I'm assuming to be Frankenstein. - Well, Avatar Fire and Ash, they-- - And Hamnet? - Hamnet? Hamnet was so cute. - And again, I think we're forgetting. Wicked for good. Not even in costume? - No. - Not even costume design. That was like the whole point. - Why would a girl be there? But, bitch, don't y'all gaslighting me. Y'all are gaslighting me with neutrals. Y'all are gaslighting me with neutrals in black and white colors, baby. Wicked for good. At least in costume design. Are you fucking kidding me? - Frankenstein for sure in costume design. - Are you fucking kidding me? I'm sorry, that's what it pissed me off. That's what it pissed me off. - No, why would-- - What about the girl in the bubble? - What about the fucker? - What about the sex card again? (laughing) - How long did that-- - Well, that's what got to take and see. That's what got to take it. - How long did that? - You can't wear free people, and then get a design. - How long did that take for me? - It's fucked up. - How long did that take? - Can we just pull up, like, can we just look up Wicked for good real quick? Like, they're really trying to gaslight me out of whimsy. Like, I'm serious, I'm serious. - Come here. - The bubble dress or the wedding gown? - Are you crazy? - Are you high? You dumb dirty bitch. - Are you kidding me? - Dumb and dirty. (sighs) Oh, oh, they're not strong. - Marty, do you pre? - Marty? - We should have known when they said these straight to the display boxes at Universal. - Oh. We should have known then. And it's wrong, I'm not saying I agree with that. - I'm not saying I agree with that. (laughing) - That was fast enough. (laughing) - I'm not saying I agree with that at all. - You know what? I'm sorry, this is nasty. - It's nasty and it's niche, it's nasty and it's niche. - Well, you've seen them there. - I saw them know what I was like. - How did I get these? - Oh my God. - Against Marty's super. - Girl, they don't give a fuck. - Super. - They just making shit up. They just make it shit up. - They make it shit up. - Girl, the costume design and question? - Oh, y'all are sick. - Look at Marty's super. - Y'all are sick. - I, oh, I. - Well, 'cause the, and question is the white t-shirt that was supposed to represent like his new beginnings, like, I don't know. It's just like, I don't know. - That fucking windbreaker. - Uh, and Timmy, you ate that. A, it's where you ate that up. You ate that up. - The costume design and question. - I mean, okay. - But it's just like. - If I saw them all lined up. - Here's the thing, I don't think the costumes were bad by any of you. - Yeah, they weren't. - But I'm just like, you can, you just would literally go to the Warner Brothers lot. Go, go to the 80s section. - Go to the fucking 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, 20s. Whatever. - Well, and no shade to whoever designs. I mean, it's awesome. Like, whoever designs the costumes. - No, it's obviously amazing. - It's amazing. - It's amazing. - Like, he looks tea, everything's tea. - Everything's tea. - I'm just like, with the quote, they made a glinda, but they made her a fucking, they made her a poochie. - They made her a poochie outfit. - A poochie. - A picture-signing love, whoever that is. Oh, boom. And it's like, okay, and again, and again, it comes down to the splitting of hairs. 'Cause I, I'm not even saying like shit. Like, oh, shit, it's like, but it's just hard show me like a loan, a loan, the opening scene when they do the reprise of fucking like the diga linda, and they're all in those contias outfits, what about that? - No, I'm just saying like it's so, it's so like you're lying. - What about the audience? - What about the person who literally like, what are you talking about? - Well, what about the person who genuinely had to make that shit up from their brain? - From their brain? - Like literally had to close their eyes and like- - What the munch, like with the washers? - Thank you. Oh, y'all are sick. Y'all are very sick and y'all are very silly. - This is interesting too 'cause obviously it's like, in effects, like the costuming, you know? - Well, and I- - And it's great. - But it's just that interesting like, you know, - And the movie itself is. - Right. Well, 'cause my friend quite literally has been like working on the avatar like costume design for forever and like shit, shout out shit. Like literally that diga be like just in life, like busing it down thoughtsy on it, like you bitches couldn't even fucking read if you tried kind of vibe. And so I wonder what the, and honestly, I should hit her. - Yeah, I would love to hear her. - I would love to know what the process is. Because they had a whole bus down costume design team. So I'm like, what was the costumes designed? Was the costumes animated? - Yeah, like I'm on the text. - Or saying. - I think a little box. I'm gonna ask for a little voice memo like and we can see like if it's in the NDA or not. So here we go. - Please Chloe, right. - Take a bow, and Josh, like, and Ryan, like, let's be serious, let's me just like, with all the ones I've seen. I'm like, right, Marty Supreme, and sinners. Like, those are the only two I've seen, it's okay. It's okay. - Well, and let me go ahead and talk to those. I did see perfect neighbor. I don't know if I would say best documentary, but okay. - But I mean, just like putting the story out there. - Well, yes, of course, but I would be interested because I will say yes was a T-shirt, but again, it kind of comes down to that same thing of like the costume design where it's like, do you go with the people who kind of like put together found footage or do you go with the people who like made a documentary from scratch? Not to say that they didn't make it from scratch, 'cause obviously like shit was like gag. But you know, like, I'm sure one of these is giving like a diva flew out to Denver, Colorado and found one specific family and followed them around for three months, and it's like, well, which one? - I've gotten a lot of marketing for these two. I haven't seen any of them except this one, but yeah. - And yeah, I haven't seen well, 'cause when your Netflix go. - What time, when is the Oscars? - It's in March, I believe. - I'm trying to get aggressive. I need to watch it. - I need to watch. - Oh, I was like, wait, what are you gonna do to that? - March 15th. - Oh, wait, boom. Like watch party. Okay, love, need to see all of this later. Oh, and there it is again. Okay, so we're kinda just doing the same five people over and over and over again, and for some reason, Wicked's not in there, and that's awesome. That's awesome. Okay, boom. - Okay, boom. - This is it again. - Oh, and there it is again. - And category. - Honestly, Marty's Supreme Loki should take this one, I think. I heard a lot about the casting. I heard a lot about them just like picking people up. No? - Yeah, 'cause you're the one who knows. - No, no. - I think, yeah, I haven't seen the secret agent yet, but I think casting on all of these was good. - I like the idea, I think why I say that too, is I like the idea of them kind of like picking up, I mean, obviously a lot of them being established and well-known actors, so I'm not saying they just like found bitches off the street necessarily, but like I do like the idea of, from at least like what I've heard of them kind of like going around and picking these people who aren't, like it was a lot of people's first roles. And I would say that that's really comfy. Next the idea that like everyone did so well. It's kind of fierce to be like, yeah, we can like pick people that we liked off of, I'd be put them in the movie they fit, and they like move the plot. You know, like I'm like, I like the idea. That is true. - I like the idea of that. - Yeah, there were a lot of new faces and like they used, like there was a guy that like was living on the streets that like made a video was known for his voice and like. - And boo. - Like I'm talking with that. I'm talking with that. I think there's really, there's something cool about that, but I mean, that's not to say that like, maybe they didn't do that in the other movies too, but I've heard about it for Miss Supreme, so. I don't know. - Well, and for Ariana's Lash, like I can understand like why, that might not be like, and also can I say something controversial yet, Brave, which is like for me, like the Glinda Eyelash Gate was giving like, well, here's the thing, like she's still Glinda, like she's a diva who puts on her eyelashes just like us. - Well, that's the other thing too. Why is everyone so, as someone who doesn't have eyelashes, okay, and like. - Well, yeah, I literally got a new highlight. - Who lives where he has to like, cat's eye, gnarly her eyelashes are the same. - Why is it so fucking villainized that someone has to wear a fucking eyelash? - Well, I'm sorry, all say it, but it's so fun. It's rooted in misogyny. It's giving, I'm taking her swimming on the first date. Who gives a fuck if someone's fucking wearing an Ardell Westby bitch? - An Ardell Westby. - Who gives a fuck? Who gives a fuck? - Okay. And then what I've stated that is I think the conversation, you know, that was something bigger. Okay, that was something deeper and I respect that. And I'm here with you, you hear me? But in regards to Glinda, like, Galinda dropped the guy. I think what he was giving is the girls wanted the illusion that that was just like her face. Like they wanted the illusion of like, 'cause the lash was laid, the lash was not laid. - It was not, like from the group. - They didn't like curl it, it was an HD lay. - No, it wasn't okay. - No, it wasn't like us, it wasn't me. It was an Ardell. That's okay. - But kind of like not to be like a fucking wicked defender, but like low key when I was watching it. And maybe this is just like, you know, there was a time when like we didn't have TikTok and everyone's opinion. So like you would just watch some shit and then you would go home and that'd just be your opinion. Like I didn't really notice the lash until I'm, well, no, I did. But what I was gonna say is I think for me, it kind of lent itself to like the crumbling of the character and I'm sorry if that wasn't the intention. Okay, I'm sorry to the makeup department. Y'all did fear. It's like I'm sorry, 'cause like, you know, bitches was green in there. So like, you know, not too much on them. But in the sense that I was kind of like seeing like the, the full frontal and huge eye max at city walk and like the lash being a little like, like it's a lash. I was like, well, yes, because she still puts on her lash just like me, she do. That's what I added a little humanizational character for me, like I was like, right? It's like, that's a glam bitch who puts on a glam bitch who puts on a poochie lash. Like, once it's talking about her putting on the poochie lash, like sorry, they don't have lash extensions and Oz. I'm sorry that like, I'm sorry they don't. I'm sorry they don't. I'm sorry she goes to the store just like us. Well, she knows, she instacart, but you know, it's whatever. Y'all know what I'm trying to say. And she knows is Demi Westby. It's a Demi Westby, it's no shape. I'm probably mean. Music, that's awesome. Yes. Ah, yes. The only one I heard is Golden. So now it's awkward. No, no, no, no, no, but then sinners. Boom. Oh, because sinners. Sinnersica. Okay, we'll see how we're just saying the same names over and over again. It's like, has it always been like this? Oh, same people, that's awesome. And then new people love. I did hear about a friend of Dorothy's need to see. Oh, okay. Achievement in sound. Achievement in visual effects. That has to go to fucking fire dash. Oh, well, there goes Jurassic World. That's a new, that's a new thing. They just get one. Boom, right? Breathing in deeply. Boom, boom, boom. All right, well, that was awesome. I think the same people over and over loved that. And made the best man win. Well, maybe not the best, but may somebody win. And somebody will win. Original screenplay. Well, and Marty's supreme being an original screenplay. Nobody wants to talk about that. I'm just glad F1 is not on this list. Right. Oh, my god. Sinners is original screenplay too. Sorry. The camera's like blocking like the bottom. So I keep like not seeing like the last people on the list. Right. Well, in shout out Ryan Kugler. So how about that? Yeah, area. Yeah, area challenge like literally. So all right. Well, that was awesome. That was freaking awesome. Neighborhood Watch is watching. Neighborhood Watch is hamnet.

Summary:

The speaker shares a deeply personal journey of finding a new home in a historically Black neighborhood, praising the care, stability, and authenticity of their new apartment managed by a dedicated Black landlord. The experience evokes a strong sense of belonging and emotional connection, reinforcing the idea that a home should feel like a place where one has always belonged. The conversation expands to personal decisions about furniture, especially a sleeper sofa with an L-sectional design, reflecting on comfort, functionality, and the desire to host family.

Themes of mindful consumption and intentional living emerge as the speaker expresses regret over rushed, impulsive early purchases. A digression into cultural ownership, particularly around the character Miffy, highlights how shared items can carry emotional value. The narrative also emphasizes the importance of rest and breaks in creative work, warning against burnout from relentless production.

Finally, the speaker critically evaluates film nominations, using linguistics to argue that accent authenticity—especially in portrayals of regional accents—should be a key standard in representation, citing examples like Michael B. Jordan’s nuanced Southern accent in *Seniors* versus Timothy Chalamet’s inaccurate New York accent in *Marty’s Supreme*. The discussion concludes with a call for greater cultural awareness and integrity in media, as well as a personal commitment to thoughtful, sustainable living.
