is the re thank you for joining us in fact do that opening my lock center here it did indeed sounded like a classic cartoon scene between bugs bunny and go somewhere oh is that its name never knew that I don't think I've ever seen that thing outside of that one scene but yeah when he was getting his nails done yeah oh for shame look at those fingernails which fact they're yellow and head dirt on any yeah like like keep standing there one movie well okay girls let's get back to the program um we'll start with which movie I want to say I want to say it was the photograph with Easteray oh I never saw that okay I want to say it was that one I'm like didn't nobody catch this nice but maybe not this week black excellence is going over to a beautiful woman named Danielle Udo Garagna I'm so sorry I'm sure I said this wrong you mean so much to me I'm an ignorant American with Florida public school education back to you babes Danielle also goes by the name ebonyx with an x online love that and she's a multi award-winning technical artist cultural consultant and coder and the reason she's getting black excellence from me today is because she has worked tirelessly and happily and the advancement are towards the advancement of black hair in video games oh nice the authenticity that is black hair and video games now if you're a gamer like myself then you're likely aware that many I'm talking about most video games with black characters have wretched hair styles when it comes to black characters they either have like hair that don't look like a black person here at all or they have like two hairstyles maybe right that look like they could be a black person a little curly or longer or a little curly swell it's not just say it's either like twist or braids or something or a little curly throw and that's it and the frog looks wretched oh yeah it doesn't move right it just doesn't look real or anything but the I honestly don't know if that's worse or when the black characters are just a darker version of the white ones and nothing else is different and nothing else it's different I don't know which one is worse it's like they both terrible thin lips tiny nose well ebonics Danielle has motted the sins if you're familiar with the sins and black folk who love the sins you know niggas don't play that fucking game without my life they do not like let my sim have the right band two knots and a tell far beg let's get it together people but yes she's created tools and like blender add-ons and things like this that let designer listen even developers gaming companies create hair styles that look better and look real and have movement to it and she's even made tools that have like local AI instead of generative AI so you still have to design the locks themselves but they can that tool can help you like adjust the kinkiness to right that's what length to write something like that without you know me but it isn't like building the code out for you or you're not you can't place in a prompt and then the tool builds it right so just based on the the clips I've seen on her page an Instagram it is e-b-o-n-i-x sims she even did a panel with Megan Astalia oh wow oh like I think it was called hoties love the sims but yeah like I said if you're a gamer please go check out this ladies page also ebonics.com and just get into what is happening there get into what is happening there even the way that hair is parted like this woman knows what she's doing and I love that we need more that in these games and etc. so it's just right there bad it's wow and straight up she was fed up with Killmonger locks being the default black hair we are all tired we're all tired of it I can't think of last time I've seen what they're not the container of blue magic oh this is a nightcon yes the part you do look is it's it's this is what our hair looks like yes oh wow and these tools can let you adjust it and change things and so on and so forth with your art I love that she also said that with these tools a lot of the stuff that you are doing could take like 30 minutes maybe an hour so no more excuses from people developing these things and oh it's too expensive oh black hair takes too long she's like well now you can go ahead and do this on your lunch break and you know if you can give white women ass length thick ass red and blonde curls and shit you know that you can for sure take an hour to a side and come up with some negro hair styles so yeah I don't want to hear it I don't how a low from horizon zero dawn horizon for Midwest white woman with straight hair locks and plants I don't feel like I don't know what those words mean but yeah fantastic series of games but to your point the girls can make the hair the girls yeah when they want to yeah right right when they want to and that's why this woman is also worked as a consultant for video okay love someone has to come in the room and be like no ugly you're doing it wrong correct yeah and wrong um so shout out to you man thank you for the hard work because you know I love me some games and girl I feel like I was just playing a game like maybe two days ago that's relatively new like oh here go pick these out these hairstyles where which ones right which ones voices too while we're getting into but that's a different discuss it is it is because I don't want to know AI black voice either higher negroes to go in there and talk it shouldn't be different it really shouldn't all right let's jump into our pop culture segment pop culture wife things of that nature it's called hot tops where do you begin you know what let's start here so another major win for this city of New York uh when Zoram I'm Donnier as I lovingly call him big zoh the dawn yeah he's decided that the children the girlies the babies shall not be using AI tools yes up to eighth grade yes kindergarten eighth grade no man none for you babies um he step forward and made this announcement uh when step last week yeah uh but last time last week and you know he had teachers and you know people in the school system in New York City back him up obviously basic entirety of the ship I believe how old entire messages surprise spoiler alert children need human being they do children need books and children need human interaction in order to properly learn it and grow yes leaving them to chat gpt that's not setting them up for wins right we do have to teach kids to think we do have to teach them to figure Get it out for the next video. themselves. We do, we need to, they need to learn the why, you know, they, how the sausage gets made for like a better phrase. We can't have y'all coming in in fifth grade thinking that all you gotta do is ask chat to make it. And that's all there is to it. Like the, the kids are getting dumber. And it's because we have stuck them in front of these devices for the past 15, 20 years. So somebody, and you know, the devices are one thing. They're also a lot of educators and, and people in that same arena are saying, you know, we also need to, the screens, these babies don't need to be in second grade with like a Chromebook or whatever. Right. Why? We need, we, we gotta get back to the basics to the fundamentals. Let the high schoolers figure out AI, you know, and all that. These kids know it's all like they come out the womb, knowing how to work these phones. They'll be fine. It's wild. What they, what they can't do is read at grade level. So let's get back to the basics. I fucking love it. And Donzo was like, even the high schoolers, they're getting five of the approved AI literacy courses. Yeah. We're cutting that down to the babies are gonna have to learn. They're gonna have to. Yes. There was a time where I was not allowed to use calculators in class. This is what I'm saying. There were so many tests and things where it was like, even if you could use a calculator, you have to show your work. Show me how you got here. Because that is the point. Yeah. Show me how you came to this conclusion. I need to see your thought process. You need to have one. And these kids are just skippity Zougatubon right on past all of that. So you say, yeah, let's get back to the fucking fundamentals. Why y'all talking about the mayor of New York need to skip the 911 ceremony. So not even going to dignify that stupid shit. And instead, gonna bring y'all back to what matters, which is your kids can't read. They can't. They should attend the memorial with his with his scrotum out. Like, there's nothing that you're going to like, I'm that girl. Deal with it. But yes, the children do need to learn. They do have to get into the very basics. I love this. Now, it is a year. It's a moratorium for a year. They say after that year, they will revisit. Right. See what makes sense and adjust things that need to be adjusted. But until then, you're a kindergarten, a three baby is just going to have to cite. You know. And that is extremely reasonable. I like that it's not like some lifetime thing or whatever. They're saying, we're going to do it for a year because we've noticed the kids are getting dumber. Okay. So we're going to try it for a year. And then we'll reevaluate, which is what you supposed to do. It's actually part of the process of implementing curriculum and things like this is you set something up. You see how it goes. You collect your date and results. And then you go back and tweak things like this is it's just so good to see competent people. When he said, your kids need to come to school and learn what it feels like to not know the answer. This is learning to come and be challenged to come and to be forced to use your brain and and figure out how to problem solve without running to chat or TikTok or or Google or whatever else. So this is I'm just this is like probably the first time in 14 years and I'm like, yeah, y'all deserve these taxes. Y'all deserve these taxes. It's highest hell to live here. But I actually see my money going into my community. So I love to see it. This is great. Well, good for the dolls. I mean, I was going to say I heard what y'all doing out there in LA. Oh, it was hot. It's 96 degrees. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, you got to take the good with the fucking bad. When it's 72 degrees on Christmas, I don't want to hear it. So you host. Maybe the end is near. I mean 96 degrees. Where I'm at. So I know the the valley. You can just make scrambled eggs on the sidewalk. I mean, climate climate changes. I saw something the other day about the scientists were like, yeah, we've officially boiled the planet to the point of no return. So girl, they have been saying for decades at this point. And all you're doing is making it worse. There's actually no coming back from it at this point. Yeah. So all we're actually doing is hitting fast forward. And we've been trying to tell you stupid ignorant lazy greedy bitch. What time it was? Yeah. Since like my grandmama with a child. Yeah. I'm done. Right. And the billionaires are not going to spend money on other sources of cooling these data centers. Because why would they let anything cut into the bottom line? And you niggas are not going to stop using AI to come up with a class reunion posters and menus for your small business. And this is what I want to look like in the 80s. And oh, my God. So it's like everybody, everybody's just saying, fuck it then. Let's just fry the planet girl. I saw a video that it was titled something like all the ways or all the shady things Diana Ross did to to further her career or something like that. And it was literally an AI Diana Ross. Seating with like other members like the ladies from the Supremes. He would bear. But like her sitting with them. And it would be like she went solo. And did she stay on the tree to another side and then sits next to bearing like ages a couple years. And then she gets up again. And then her like the whole thing is her moving around a circle in this room. And then sitting down and then pointing in the direction that she's going to move and then getting on. I'm like, so you created a whole AI short of Diana Ross, moving around a room, getting old to talk about shady shit she did in her career. Why not just write that if you want to personally, but even if you're going to do it, shady shit. Diana Ross has done has been well documented, bro, that's like 75. We know, diva. I'm sick of it. And little kid is doing this. It's terrible. It is stupid. It is bad. And all of your AI flyers look exactly the goddamn same. That's how everybody can clock that is AI. They put too much information into one tiny fucking space. They all have the same kind of glossy script. And it just all looks. It's just all trash, man, but I love it. So God forbid there's a human being in the fucking AI photo because they have six fingers on each hand. That is, they don't. They got an eye on their throat. It's the stupidest shit. I would rather y'all go back to Canva and MS paint. I would rather y'all just make some bullshit in Microsoft Word than use this. Miss paint. Oh, yes, Miss paint. She was that girl. You can tell me nothing about Miss paint. I was an art. Can I still get Miss paint? I feel like it's really good. She still has to be the default photo app or whatever on Windows computers. Bitch. You can't kill it. Legend's never died. I bet she was a subscription service now. No. I said, I'm guessing. You know, everything now is like, oh, we'll sign up for $100 a year and you can use. You can buy nothing, even Adobe. Adobe want you to pay a licensing fee every week, month, or a year for all. I'm like, I remember when the girls could just plop down a few hundred dollars and own Photoshop. Yes. What is the subscription? And it's every okay. The little we sound like boomers, just shaking our fists up the sky. And they will have their day if the planet is still here. Well, and then, and you know, that, that's really a toss up. We really don't know because K call it. Honestly, we've lived this whole life in the sidewalk stills don't move. So everybody can kiss my ass. Y'all told me it was gonna be the Jutsons in this bitch by now. And it, I mean, we got no five cars. We have video calls though. We do have that. You can video call for free. Very easy. But that's about it. That's about it. So Xenon had been doing that. It's like this. Wow. Century was even twenty first century. It was really a throwback. What we have is cyber trucks. And Microsoft paint now comes comes with new AI powered tools. Yeah. Painters, you knew creative partner. Oh my God. It's so stupid. What happened to MS paint and mind sweeper and solitaire? Mine sweet. I think the old day. Patch is a throw me back to the time where I was wasting. Oh, my gosh. This minutes and out. So many hours. He's your home work finish. No. I'm in the chat telling niggas that I'm 18. I'm in chat rooms. A Selling. I lived where we had computer classes. Yes. That's how I learned to type. Learned to type. Also, we got to play or Montreal. Oh, we were allowed to. Adored, but you know, my mom had a computer in her room. So yeah, we had one too. I was gagging. Yeah. Well, what was the one? It was just fun to play video games at school or you were allowed. Yeah. What was the one with the, there was like a one with a with fish and a counting one number, but I'll just go home and Google all the 80s and 90s, yeah, computer games. Oh, all right. Here's some good news, something cute, Sierra and Daddy Russell, like, spec, yet another baby. Yes, I saw that. Fifth baby for Sierra. I can't tell you maybe for everybody. Right. I mean, he adopted that child. Right. That's his babies. Yeah. So they're having another baby. They've got the two boys to grow. I think. Yep. Okay. And, um, yeah, Sierra, uh, a more, uh, win future, I think. Yeah, future, see, and uh, win and amorra, I think, yeah, is the little. Yeah. So they, the parents, the rents, they have, they're all dressed in black and they said something to the kids like they had to get together to, like, take a picture or do a video because they want to send. Grandma and delightfully surprised the kids with mommy's baby bump and tell the kids that they're having another baby. The cutest reaction. So sweet. The future was so, like running around the place with the screaming. The two year old baby is like, yeah, I don't know what's going on. Celebrate good times. Come on. It was just delightful. Yes, it was so cute. Future took off running. So then when was like, you think I'm not copy of my brother. Fuck out of here. Oh, that was, it was really adorable. It was good to see a young black boy futures age show joy and be happy. No, I'm not even joking. Y'all be stamping the wins the end of the glee right out of them kids. Oh, it was good to see a young black boy be happy and show it. Because y'all do not be letting little black boys be happy. So ran up kissed his baby sister. So sweet. Just gleeful. Yeah, there's almost like he's, it's almost like he's living in a home. That what he's stable with. Yeah, parents that knowledge them with that, you know, raise them that pour into them that validate and make space for their emotions and You know, give them like a secure space in life. Yeah, and I true love it. Oh, yes, indeed. But I'm just guessing. I mean, that's exactly what it looks like. That's what it doesn't look like. Anyway, again, the image they project is definitely one and what we saw in that video seems to back that up that these kids are healthy and well supported and happy, you know, living a childhood that every kid deserves with emotionally mature resilient, stable, consistent parenting. So it is beautiful. Congratulations to them. Russell do not want to come up off of that lady. He, she, he won't make him make him. I was like, I love the fact that the kids were so excited. Right. Right. That's how you know the kids are not raising each other. Because if future was watching him, other four, he would have been like again. So what is the plot to grandma's the baby. That's how you know they able to just be children. They're excited. Another one. Yeah, it's going to be five of us versus the two of them. Nika, we can whatever we want to. Bags. Oh, I love that. Guess what? That is not hard to mix. Listen, shout out to Sierra. She realized quickly that Nika was a bomb and see her as prayer and needed a real daddy for her child. So good for her. Love that. Megan is the cover story for the latest in style magazine. She looks fucking flawless. In the magazine, she's talking about the new album coming out to Tina Snow and why she don't hear talking about area pull up. Oh, the actor. Okay. I thought you were the series. They do do that. They do that TV show. Yeah. They do. The major headline from this obviously has been her talking about her breakup with their life. I'll say it sounds like she's in a good space. From what I read, um, she seemed to be very honest and vulnerable about how the situation was making her feel, but I'll read some of the quotes. She said, when asked about how she's doing, I'm trying my best. I feel like I've been put through the washing machine and the dryer with 10 shovels and a cactus. That made me sad. Oh, also great description. Love that. Yeah. They really sell it. I know exactly what you mean by that. I was like, I might actually take that back. It was very rough, especially how do I want to say this gently. What's meant for you is always going to work out. And if something is constantly making you feel uncomfortable, just on the edge, on edge all the time, you probably are not supposed to be there. God will always make you uncomfortable when something is not meant for you. I think I just kept trying to make pieces fit that didn't belong, trying to fit myself into someone else's life. I was losing myself a bit. I'm now in the space of finding me. You will not disrespect me and you will be thankful. I cannot be disrespected. I cannot be a person who's not going to be me. I cannot not go to work. I'm going to be making a stallion. I love being me. I love rapping. I love interacting with my fans. I love music videos. I'm not a person who's in a house 24/7. I'm never going to be that. And whoever dates me is going to have to understand like she's her own person. She's her own boss. I cannot be minimized. I will not be behind any man. I will have a partner. I'll be equals with my partner. I'm never going to take the backseat to anything. I'll just going forward. I think I've just learned this is a type of person that I want to be with. This is what I will tolerate. This is what I won't tolerate. And if you can't take that, we just got to respectfully go our separate ways. So what does that sound to you, like to you, Crystal? I'm just so proud. This sounds like a girl who's been in therapy who has really worked through a lot of shit who is in a place now of and maybe it has always been there, but she just had kind of had to prove it to herself, but like that, her sense of self-worth is really there. Megan really values herself. She knows what she brings and she not only knows what she deserves, but she it seems like she really believes it and feels it for herself. Like staying with a nigga who cheated on her was never even going to be an option. Like it was I won't take it and everything that she said about like not coming second to no man, not taking the backseat. You either a partner or you getting the fuck out my face. This is what the girls need to hear. More of this and less of this tradwife, you know, Nara Smith bullshit. So I just love it. Oh, it was nice. I took away from this was patty her and she was dealing with a bitch nigga that couldn't take, but we said that. Oh, yes, he said that when she said, um, that whole part about like if something is making you feel uncomfortable all the time, you probably not supposed to be there. Remember when they first broke up? She said that that nigga was being so weird and like moody all the time and up and down based on like basketball games and shit and she was walking on eggshell. Yeah. Yeah, girl, you right. You right. And you kept trying to make it work. And that is, I think it's great because it also seems like she is really taking a look at the relationship. We all know how he fucked up, but she's also seeing how she should have approached things differently. Like, yeah, I was trying to fit into this man's life so bad. And I get it. because he came with this ready made family that seemed to really embrace her. And so yeah, you know, she wanted to make it work and now she knows that like trying to fit into somebody else's whatever is not it. Like we either are compatible and it's working and I'm not feeling like this is trash and I don't belong here, you know, or we're not like, but this I'm feeling uncomfortable and still trying to tough it out, not doing that no more. So this is just, oh, Megan the growth, I love this. This is so good. - Yeah, it definitely confirmed for me that he, like many niggas in situations like this just could not take the fact that this is a bad bitch who's in her prime who's now being associated with her name, you know what I mean? And I said, this is well, a lot of trash niggas in your, you know, I can't think of another. I want to say traumatized, but that's not really, that isn't like all these niggas. Triathlon works. You know, when they see someone, when they see a woman who don't need them. - Oh yeah. - Does it rely on them for money, doesn't rely on them for housing, doesn't rely on them for material things, cloud, nothing. I'm here because I like you, but I don't need you. - You right. - Makes niggas nervous. - Yeah. - However, you're right. This is on a great, I love the fact that I'm reading the interview on, on in style. - Yeah. - The part where she said, you will not just respect me. It starts with, she stops. A slight smile. She's not done. She will not disrespect me. So she's not, you didn't think. - Yeah. - She also said. - Yeah, enjoying it. - Somebody not seeing your values, doesn't make your value around. People she know you that doesn't have anything to do with you. You're not less attractive. You're not less of a good person. Even though I feel like that. Oh my gosh, why me, why am I not enough? 'Cause it could definitely feel like, why am I not enough? Being by yourself is okay. I ain't small so much in so long. Like, I'm outside twirling the grass. Like, wow, it's a beautiful day outside. - Yeah, girl. - Then she said, the interviewer says we both laugh at the cartoonish visual. I don't know the last time I did that, she said. - Oh. - And then it goes into, this interview was delightfully chopped into different chapter. - Oh, okay. - The next chapter is about the winter coming, Tina Snow. - I did see a line about wanting to be the Mariah Carey of the Summer and I was like, and I do believe that you can do it. I believe that you make it. You know what? As soon as May come around, everybody's like, all right, bitch, I'm starting to get into it. - Oh my gosh. - Oh my gosh. - I love when Mariah went up my first cup. - Carey does some Halloween to Christmas. - She is so funny. - I look forward to it every year. - She just be popping up in TikToks like, it's not time yet. You guys, she's like two seconds of a song. - The night, yeah. - Oh. (laughing) - Imagine having a Halloween day. - Right, the whole summer is hers. - Yeah, the entire month. - It is all hers. So, oh. - Imagine for the summer, I see that. - Yeah, why not? - Yeah. - Aw, queen. - Yeah. - Ugh. Let's talk. - Oh, Lord. What could it be? - I'm sorry, this is the one. - You can't even get it out. You can not even get it out. What could it be? - Todd Tucker has a movie coming out called "Till Divorce Do Us Part." - Oh no. - It's like a docuseries, I guess, with him and our whole bunch of other bitches from Broadway and people who have been on "Housewives" and he's just talking about his divorce and how rough it's been. And there's a lot of ominous little quotes and things on there and, I guess, disgusted, possible cheating. There's a polygraph test at the end of the trailer. And then, girl, I'm talking about. - Polygraphs. - I don't know. - They mean nothing. - I need you to know. - Very last minute. - That was also so absurd to me. Thank you for mentioning that. - They mean literally nothing. - Right, they're inadmissible. - It's a court for a reason. - This is why they do it on "Wes" is that "Vanity Fair" or who is it that does. - Oh yeah, the lie detector does. Content, yeah. It's "Vanity Fair," I'm pretty sure. - That's for fun, Zeez. - 'Cause it's for fun, Zeez. It is not for real, Zeez. (laughing) - Oh, Todd, well look, he got to make money somehow, shit. - Damn right. (laughing) 'Cause that wagon is gone. - Okay, child support, we can't use keys. It's probably high. So you, yeah. Not premiering in theaters. - That's what exactly what I was about to say. When I tell you, I was dice, bitch. Select theaters beginning in October. - Maybe I just noticed was gonna be on TLC unlimited or some other stream of whatever the stream of services are called. - Only. - T.A.T. Plus, the girls are purchasing tickets and leaving their homes to go watch this. - How is it that the Avatar Aang movie didn't get a theatrical release? But Todd, Todd, this can not be real. - I don't understand. Girl, why I tell you that trailer ended and said in select theaters. That's what let me know that it wasn't a series that it's a movie. And that it is a movie that won't be on B.E.T. Plus or T.B. - Well, not this year. Maybe come January 1st. But the kind of, and you know, in select theaters, that might just mean in Atlanta. You know, in Atlanta, there will be three or four movie theaters. You can go see this the rest of you. We'll have to get it on Amazon Prime or something like that. Mind you, there is already a TV mini series called Till Divorced to Us Part. It came out last year. I'm like, you didn't think maybe you should come up with another name, like somebody just did this. - Of course they did. It's not creative. - Oh, Todd. But yeah, you got to make your money. So go and do it. - Somehow. - I can't say that I won't go. I can't say that. You never know. I might be feeling silly and ridiculous. Why not? - I watched the polygamist. - You only get one stupid life. - Oh, right. - But you know what? The polygamist was not awful. - Was? - The story was. - Okay. - I mean, the story was wild whack. It did so proper job. - Okay. - But I enjoyed it. - Okay. - It didn't feel like a waste of my time. I just, I did go into it though, expecting that it was going to be silly, what, you know, trying to eat, whatever. So I get maybe your money if you want to know. - No, I might. - Why too Atlanta to go back? - Okay. - That, no. - That, they will not be playing this in the city of New York. - No, I don't think they will. (laughs) But if I just so heck as I will go, I will be in Atlanta for some playoff basketball games. So, if it's out when I'm in Atlanta, then maybe you just never know. - I think let's believe you have a two week run and then it's going up to, and I think two weeks is actually generous. - I do. (laughs) - I think you're going to have to catch that open and we can't, 'cause before it, it's Netflix. - It feels like it's a thing that when it premieres, it'll be like Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And then you can see it again, the following Wednesday, and then- (laughs) - Yes. That kind of little weird half week thing that you can't move in theaters. - Only Matt Nick. - Yeah. - Only Matt Nick. Hurry it up, girl, 'cause you do not, you do not get two weekends to see this, so. - Yeah, we have one show week at 12, yeah. - But any theatrical release is honestly shocking for me. So, what, how long could it be? - I mean, I'm just learning about this. I just go with it, so I don't know, but. - Wowzers. - You know what it sounds like? - Mm. - It sounds like a scheme that was ongoing. - So mad. - And I mean, it's coming. - Head always been set up by Todd. (laughs) - I wonder if Mama just go wear that trench coat. - That's very archery. - Oh, Joyce, I guess you weren't really wrong. Where are you in the end? - Yeah. We have Atlanta housewives. - So, Fager is dating CT. - And you know what, everybody actually just leave me alone, 'cause that's not real. - Because, why are you bothering us? What the fuck do you want? - And that is so random, Fager and CT. You know how long it's been since I've seen or heard CT. Well, I also have not watched the challenge. in probably 15 years. - I don't even know if they still do it. - But, I mean, this one say, how do they even meet? How are they even? - The traders. - Oh, see, something else I don't look at. - They don't look at traders. - Okay, well, all right. - These are good season, I enjoy traders, but it's still random, it's fun. - It feels really strange, yeah. - Traders isn't a love show. - It just doesn't, nothing about that seems real. Like, I can't imagine doing it for publicity 'cause neither one of you are anybody, but this is, what is the reason? What's happening here? You know, I'm really struggling to believe they're in a real relationship, but you know, whatever, Fager, you have yourself a good-- - I don't know who does. Like, I'm just finding out about this and you already got photos in us magazine. - This is what I'm saying. - Fager Park's in CT, Tamborillo, a path on the PDA and Fire Island at the Emmys. Mind you, they were there because I think Fager was there for Mr's hot tub games and the Fire Island. Mr is like a sexual wellness platform online where places people with HIV prevention things, sexual wellness stuff, you know, like HIV medication and treatment and that sort of stuff. They also do a lot of gay ass events. - Right. - Great way to get the girls out and also be like, hey, you've been tested. Hey, you know, you're-- - Love that. - Grab, it's the one. So what the hot tub games are, you do the math. - No, thank you. I actually don't want to. - It's Fire Island. - So here go, Fadra with a blonde bust down and her titties out and CT doing the prom pose behind her. This is weird. (laughs) - I don't. - Again. - This is strange. - Yeah, it just does not feel genuine to me at all. This doesn't-- - Probably not. - I didn't also, I mean, maybe if you watch the traders did like they flirt a lot, like maybe this makes more sense to people who saw the show, like maybe they were like, oh, I saw this come in, but for me, somebody who saw CT on the real world or role rules or whatever, back in like 2006. - Real world. - Whatever it was. And then Fadra-- - That challenge. - Right. So it's like, I know, y'all don't even look, even this pose, y'all don't look particularly intimate or loving to me. I don't know, it just doesn't seem genuine. - What do you think they get out of it? 'Cause like you said-- - Right. - So, that's the only thing, that's what wouldn't maybe make you think, okay, well, maybe it is real. But also with all these people talking about y'all, maybe you get booked for more of this reality and people shit, you know, stay relevant in that way. - Yeah. - Fadra, leave your face alone, baby. Stop touching it. God damn you look crazy. - Speak truth into the life. - Leave it alone, this girl. - Baby. - You were always pretty. That nose is almost gone. Leave it alone. - It's fine. It's fine. - It always was. - Yeah. - CT's wife says that-- - He has a wife. - Yeah. - Strange, but he's married. - I'm just saying it. - Divorce was spotted last year. - No way. Catalina White, who initially filed for divorce from CT early last year, I think January. She says that she was later pressured by CT to dismiss the divorce, to throw it out or whatever. Only for him to then file for divorce himself few months later. - Okay. - And now is keeping the whole process at a halt 'cause he won't finalize anything, our sign of papers and stuff. - Well. - So Catalina has said, I genuinely wish Chris well in whatever relationship or career he chooses to pursue. I'm not interested in commenting on whether his new relationship is real for publicity or anything in between. - Oh, period. (laughing) What I would like is for him to put the same energy into ending our marriage that he's putting into publicly promoting his new relationship. - Okay. - Since he's been dragging it on for months. Since then, I've been trying to finalize this divorce. My council has made repeated efforts to move things forward as quickly as possible and we continue to wait for his cooperation. She says, I don't want that man money. Never needed that man money. I'm not asking for anything. - Amen. - Co-operizing, co-operizing in finalizing our divorce. If he's ready to publicly move on, he should be ready to legally move on too. - Do they have kids? - I think they do. I'm pretty sure C.T. is it? - What does this girl do? - She's the only family. - Oh, 'cause I'm looking at her Instagram like, one of these videos says POV, I'm your therapist and I'm like, I don't think so. (laughing) - I know. - Okay, this is her best cosplay. I get it, I get it, I get it, okay, okay. - Yeah, I think I've won. She has won, kid, but I don't know if it's with her. - I don't, I mean, I can see why. - 'Cause he would be like, previously. - I was about to say, hey, no kids on his Instagram, but I could see why they wouldn't be. - If you saw, if you are only fans girl, then I could see why you wouldn't put your kids on your public social media. - That's true, Tim. - Oh, I should have just kept scrolling 'cause her ass is completely out. I would have figured it out. - Yeah, probably. - Within a couple of seconds. - Oh, his daughter is, I mean, I don't know if it's a boy girl, but his child is with his first wife. - Okay. - Okay. - Well, so yeah, CT, sign the paperwork there. What's going on? - You know, what's, what's T, CT? - Maybe, Catalina makes more than he does. - I mean, girl. - I actually wouldn't, I'd be surprised. - Yeah, I'll let that thing go. - He's been asked for alimony and spousa support. (laughing) - That only fan's coin while CT is out here eating bugs and jumping over mountains and shit to try and then check. - Right, it might be the T bits. - Meanwhile, she drink a pineapple mimosas and lickin' bitches pussy. It's like, it's like, it's like a better life over there. - I'm having a time while I lie. So this is wrestling stuff, so I can go home, bitch. (laughing) - Oh, wow. - Okay. - Apollo also responded to the news. He also kept the cute. He just said, you know, she's always been appropriate as a mother and as long as CT treats her well and my sons were on care. - Well, I have no problem with it. - 'Cause why would you? - Why would you? He already been had new relationships and shit like that, I don't think. He give a fuck about Pedro. Like that. I don't think Pedro give a fuck about him like that. - Right, that is a, but that is a very mature response. I just love that both of the X's are like, what I don't care. (laughing) - No, anyone at Perrin less than I do. (laughing) So just, you know, don't disrespect my children. Don't hurt their mom and the rest of it, I don't care. That I just, yeah. This girl said, stop. All of this, with fate, just sign the fucking papers, girl. He won't show money. - Damn, she looks good. Wow. - Yeah, she's really pretty. - Wow. - So yeah, don't know what to make of that union there. More to come, I'm sure. I think you're right though. It's about like, they both come for reality TV. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And they both have done reality show competition, jumped around on networks and so. So this, you're right, it likely is a way to finesse a new reality thing. - Something, yeah. - Cash in on that. - Oh God, CT loves Fadra coming to Bravo. - I was thinking that's the same thing. Some waste the time as love, docu-series. - Some bullshit. - I don't give a fuck, but I found it to be funny. - Oh yeah. - Especially because the ex-wife is hilarious. (laughing) Don't care, don't want his money, be an over it, tell her to sign the papers and do what she want. - I love it. - Even Apollo was like, go away from me with this day. - Oh, that was good. - That was good. - I'm done with the hot tops this week. We're finished, we're gonna take a break and then we're gonna read your mess. - Okay, slurs. - We're back and it's time to read your listener letter. Sidebar, I've for completely forgot to talk about Beyonce's nerve. Maybe we'll do that later. Maybe I'll actually stick her into the read. (laughing) - No, she slipped my mind too 'cause of the, anyway, it's right. Let's not start now, let's get into the letters. If you have a question for us, send it to askthereadageemail.com. We may read them a lot on the show. We haven't update this week from Tom Nook. If you remember, Tom Nook was like, how do I get my parents off my bank account? - Yeah. - So they wrote back and said to answer some of you. Your questions, no, my parents do not give me any additional income, though they do help with certain things on my credit card bill as well as paying for my cell phone. I did consider opening a second bank account somewhere else, but I don't have my own car, so getting places isn't always easy. However, before I leave for my semester abroad, we are going to go to the bank to liquidate my accounts to set up for my new banking once I arrive in the foreign country. I plan to pitch the idea of me having sole control over this then, because that seems like a natural point of transition. Also, just so you know, only fans has an option where you can deposit money into a digital wallet instead of it immediately charging your card every time, and you can set it up so that is what gets rebuilt instead. Okay. Thank you for the advice, Tom. Look. Okay, baby. Well, you figured that right on now, didn't you? I guess so. It is a natural point of transition once you know, are setting up for your international banking, however that process works, but yeah, a good luck to you. Thanks for writing into the show. Our first letter this week at that sounds okay. It comes from Nika who says, hey, Chris and Kifuri, I'm a 39 year old black woman who recently found out that my grandfather is not my biological grandfather. And I'm struggling with whether to tell my mom, oh, I took an ancestry test at the end of last year and when I got the results, I only briefly looked through the list of relatives without paying too much attention to the relationships. I plan to go back later and look through things in more depth because I'm working on building a family history. About a month later, a lady message me on the app trying to figure out how we were cousins. She believed that her deceased uncle was my maternal grandfather, but I told her there's no way because I knew my maternal grandfather and he had just passed. And hour so later, a man named Paul also reached out. He said his cousin, the lady had hit him up and I showed up on the ancestry account as his niece. So he was curious about the situation. My original thought was that Paul's dad might be my paternal grandfather, however that theory was proven wrong because I do have a paternal half sister and we did not share any of the four uncles that were showing up on her ancestry results. So the connection had to be maternal. I didn't make any moves for a few months, but one day a man got the courage to ask my grandma about it when I was visiting her alone. She said she knew who Paul was and that she had dated his father briefly before she was married. But she also said they didn't do no court and left the whole thing off and said we should get to the bottom of it. So obviously, I took matters into my own hands and I got my mom to do an DNA test without telling her why what I set up her online account with one of my emails. And of course, when the results came in, Paul and his brothers showed up as her brothers. My mom though was only interested in her nationality breakdown percentages. So I gave her those and kept the rest of the information to myself. A couple of weeks later, Paul told me that my grandma had reached out to him to meet up. Grandma also told me about their plan, meet up and said, your buddy, Paul was coming by. You should come too. So we can get to the bottom of it. I had to miss their meeting because of a work emergency. But I figured her plan was to charm him and to keep in her secret. According to him, they had a blast just sharing town gossip, but she continued to deny that anything happened between her and his dad. When Paul showed her the DNA result, she just said, how about that? This lady is fierce. This bitch worked. I don't even have enough. She went off. That was fierce. How about that? Wow. It's crazy. Like, nice. And this lady had the nerd to invite him to our fourth of July cook out. Go and text me, talk about Paul want to meet the family. At that point, I figured she was just doing shit for the plot because she hadn't said anything else about her baby daddy. Paul only stopped by briefly and it wasn't really awkward to anybody else because we live out in the country and M.F.S.B. stopping by all the time anyway. After he left my grandma and I were alone in the kitchen and she said, I don't think we should tell your mom and her sister about all this. There we go. I was a little shook thinking that she was about to confess, but she went right back to it. It's just so strange. I don't know how this happened. I was like, grandma, please be for real, but this time she explicitly said she never had sex with Paul's father not even months, not even once. At that moment, I realized my grandma is a lady of a certain generation and they really know how to lie. So now grandma and Paul are besties so her plan low-key worked. He says he doesn't want to disrupt our family but I don't know how to proceed. I want to know what would y'all do in this situation? Should I try to talk to my grandma again? Should I tell my mom about who their real dad is? I have no idea how they'd react, neither of them was particularly close to the man I know as my grandfather. He was one of those stoic provider types and was pure hell towards the end of his life. Should I let them be my grandma's decision? Should I meet this new family or just pretend they don't exist? Should I continue hanging out with Paul? I told my sister everything, but she has yet to meet Paul because she feels guilty building a relationship with him behind our mom's back. Thank you so much for your perspective. Sincerely, Mika. I enjoyed that letter immensely. So much. She put it in the post script. She said her grandma is almost 90 and her mama is in her mid 60s. So I said, oh, your grandma, yeah, born in the 1930s? You really thought you could get away with this type of shit back then? Yeah. Well, I know all people cannot believe this DNA bullshit. Girl, chopped, crunchy, like, can't take it. The lady said, well, how about that? And like, Granny, what do you mean, how about that? And then to be like, but I don't know how this could have happened. I never slept with that man. I guess you've simply been lying to yourself for so many years that now you believe it, but the day the do not lie, girl, it's just done that it doesn't. And the questions here, yeah, Mika, I mean, a lot of those questions I feel like are just kind of up to you, depending on how you feel, right? The telling your mama thing is, I think that one is a little bit more specific. I think that one we can kind of focus on, but everything else, like, do you meet up with the family, continue communicating with all of that? I think that stuff is kind of up to you and how you feel about it. You know, you mentioned that the father that your mom knew didn't seem like a blast, they weren't close. Right. I don't know how much that might land, if that might be like triggering or if that might, you know, really mess with our head because you already had these issues with him, it could be something that's really, I don't know, refreshing and I'd be exciting for her to go meet your family members, but you'll never know until she know. I think I would struggle with that, especially because it sounds like a lot of family members that people she know know and she does, right, it does. I wouldn't be able to hold something like that to myself knowing my mama, but I wouldn't be able to do it. And it don't sound like grandma is in anybody's rush to tell anybody anything. She's still trying to be like, well, I don't know if that would have happened because I really thought this was going to come out after she hit the grave. Definitely. Bullying. Bullying. It's so funny. Wow. She was like, back then, 38 years, wherever you call that shit, I just, right, Nika also put in the PS that she told, so she told her sister, but she also told her aunt's son, her cousin, and she told her wife. And so it's like, I also don't think I would be able to keep it from my mama, especially because I don't told my cousin now. So like we both are keeping this secret from our mama's who are not only sisters, but twins. I just, yeah, I don't think I would be able to, like, me mom can just keep lying because honestly, the lie is hilarious at this point. So she can just keep doing that, but I think if I were in your position, I would have to, I would have to say mama, when you took that ancestry test and I, you know, I told you was like 28% Celtic or whatever, there was actually a lot more to the story. And this is not, this is exactly what these DNA websites have been doing. This story is not uncommon no more. Um, yeah, like I said, we discovered a whole cousin in my family that my uncle never knew existed because you know, it was the 70s and you could just fuck around with a girl and then she disappeared. And you don't know what happened till 50 years later, but anyway, have you ever seen one of those, I can't remember the show that it, I can't remember what it's called, but that man who does like ancestry tests with often famous people. - Oh yeah, and a Henry Gates. - Yeah, and they be bawling a lot of times 'cause they learn so much about their family and finding truths about this. And that person was, you know, this person came there and this is your real grandma. You're right. It is more common now with these types of tests. - But, man, just think of how many lies people got away with. Just think. - It's man with three family. - I mean, and it could also be that, you know, she was assaulted, maybe with some kind of traumatic experience so she blocked it out. And, but I think I would tell my mama not only for all the reasons you listed, but also because she could be relieved to find out that mean old man wasn't her real daddy. - I'm saying. Look at Celia and the color purple. When she figured out, Paul wasn't her real pal. - Yeah. - And so, like that, she had given birth to our own siblings. That was a massive relief for her. So, I would have to. (laughing) I would just have to, I would be like, and here's actually the full report. These people are popping up as your siblings. I've had conversations with them. This is your, yeah. I don't know exactly how I would break that to her as gently as possible, her and her twin. And recruit your cousin too since you don't told your cousin. - Ooh, that was good. - Because of this together. - Yeah, you and your cousin do this together. - That could be good. - 'Cause it'd be like, we tried to talk to Mimal and she said, she said, how about that? - So. - Yeah. Yeah, I think that could be. I don't know, I don't know. I feel like the energy of that might be better if it's you, A, your cousin, and maybe your mama's together. So it's like a love group. - Yeah, yeah. - But I agree with Crystal, like it could be a thing where they'd like, oh, girl. 'Cause I hate it, then I'm just, I'm gonna be clean. - Right. - I don't know. - It could be, I mean, if I didn't look so much like my damn daddy, I would be trying to dilute myself into believing somebody else was. - Man, people feel the way. - Responsible, so. - Sorry. - Oh, man. - And maybe hell. - Good luck, Nico. Maybe Vayno, and then they go to Tamima. And maybe they can, you know, snatch the truth out of her. I mean, she'll be like, no, no, there was a wheel. Oh, and a junkie. And she traded me. - I mean, I, it, it was a different time. Who knows what happened? Maybe, maybe y'all's real daddy didn't have no money. And this man she married did. You know, women back then was not even real humans. Like they did not have rights. We fighting for, we fighting to retain some rights now. They for show a black woman in the 1940s and '50s be for real. So, I have a lot of empathy for your grandma. She's probably really seen some shit. But baby, that DNA, them, them double helixes do not lie. She is hilarious for that doubling, shriveling down. That is so interesting. Well, in my word, well, would they come up with next? - Well, I'm gonna get the case of Diaburger. And I'm feeling like, I don't want you all back. You won't want to know what, what a milliburger it is. - But you're also right that a lot of women, from that time experience like real trauma that they weren't allowed to speak about. - They, you know, were not allowed to acknowledge. They weren't able to like heal through or. - What not therapy for you, Niggas? You just was fucked. - So yeah, many women were probably just erasing horrible memories and trauma from their life. Or just don't feel comfortable talking about it, revisiting it, sharing anything like that. So grandma is funny, but who knows what the situation of that? - Right, you know. - Yeah, it really could be so many different things, but I would tell my mama. So I'm with you on that, girl. Good luck begging you to let us know how to stop. - It's like, really ease. - I have not wanted to hear back from nobody this bad since the girl who said at least my man ain't dead. It's her friend. - Okay, focus on y'all remember what episode that was. Please remind me, 'cause I have to go and listen to it. I never even do this. That was a time. - Wait. - Can you believe me? - I don't think anybody has ever been so, anybody who wrote into the show has ever been that much in the role. - Yeah. - That was universal. Nobody thought she was okay for that. - Oh my God. - Yeah. - Oh, okay. But yes, please do keep us updated. Our next letter comes from Nesey, who says, "Hey, Chris Linky Fury. My close friend of 15 years is having a baby girl." And she asked if it was okay if she took the baby name that I shared with her, Margot, but spelled it differently. Since dating is what it is, I'm not sure if I'll ever have kids. However, I did feel some kind of way that she's chosen my baby name out of all of the names in the world. I told her since she's actively having a child and I don't have any prospects that it was fine. But if I were to have a girl, then we would just both have daughters with the same name. Since that text interaction, I have been feeling weird about her taking the name that I have loved for years, even though I also feel like I shouldn't feel weird since I'm not sure I'll ever be able to use the name. What are your thoughts? Should I share my mixed feelings and ask her not to use the name? Now that I've thought about it more, or should I let it go and still just use the name if I want to when and if the time comes? Thank you so much. Love you both, Nesey. - Nesey, love the name, love the reference. Unless it's actually a name. I was just thinking of CharJackson. Listen, first of all, I don't like this negative still talk. If you want baby Nesey, you can have baby. - What? I don't think it's, yeah, okay. - She said the sheep is like, "Niggas ain't shit." So. - I mean, that's just being realistic. If you were a good dad for your kids, but see, it's not just the baby you're all she would have one. She wants a good dad for her baby. - That's why. - Good dad for baby after baby. You can have these if I'm baby. - Everybody. - I want her to have a baby. She wants a baby, and I want her to have it. - But she wants a decent nigga to raise that baby with it as well, and that's fair. I actually appreciate that she's like, "I'm not gonna do this if I don't feel strong, "really uncomfortable with her." Don't need to. Would love it, but tough. I fuck with that Nesey. Yeah, I think I would feel some type of way about it too, but at first, when you were reading the letter, Crystal, I'm like, at that point, we would just both have baby name marker. I'm gonna smell it in my way. You go smell it your way, and these kids are gonna have nicknames. - Yeah, momo and go-go. - Yeah, there you go. - Why not? (laughs) Black people do funny shit like that all the time. - All the time. - And at your besties, it might be cute if you're baby. - Right, right. Nesey is actually not a reference to Shard Jackson. It's a reference to the book, "Kin" by Teri Jones, which I just finished. I could not. I've been stretching it out. You know when a book is so good, you just don't wanna finish it. - Yes, yes. - But I was up to a 4.30 a.m. because that book had me by the testicles. When I tell you, it is one of the most amazing pieces of art that I have ever had the privilege to interact with. That book has changed my life. But anyway, it is, but Teri Jones is incredible. I loved an American marriage, but this book is extremely special. Anyway, I don't think that whether you should feel that way is like the right way to look at this because you have the feelings you have. There's nothing inherently wrong with the feelings. This is an extremely close friend for a long time. She knew it mattered to you. The fact that she reached out to get your sort of blessing about it first, I think is a really good sign. And instead of hitting her up to be like, oh, I'm feeling weird about you taking the name, don't actually take it. I would be like, can we just talk as friends? Not trying to get you to, not trying to change my mind or whatever, but I'm having conflicting feelings because it's not even so much about you. I think a lot of this is maybe your own, or not so much about your friend. It's so much about, a lot of it is about your own whistfulness and like, you know, is this gonna happen for me? This is something I want, but I also understand that children take a lot of work. They deserve a good parent, a good co-parent and all this. So like, I don't know that it'll happen for me so I'm feeling a little bit of like maybe some fear, some grief, things that most people would love to talk to a friend about. So I would reach out to her and be like, can we just chat through about it? I also think it's cute if you and your bestie, like if it may be both of you give your kids Margot as a middle name. Ooh. Something like that. There's a lot of different options, but I would say just talk to her, but just be like, can we just talk? Like not trying to strong arm you or force your hand one way or the other. I just want to get all these feelings out because it's bringing up a lot within me. And you know, she sounds like a good friend. She did reach out to see how you feel about it. Yeah. I would do that just so y'all are on the same page. And you know, it sounds like this is, there's a high likelihood that you guys can come to an understanding or maybe you can at least just walk away feeling better about the situation. So that's what I would recommend that you do, babe. Completely agree. No, no, it's actually, yeah, I would, I would also sit with this best friend of 15 years that does sound reasonable. And rather than coming at it like, I don't want you to do this, I would kind of discuss how you are feeling about it and then come to some sort of mutual respect and understanding, which sounds like it's available. And I similarly feel like sharing names with your best friend, you know, your your kid and your best friend's kid is adorable. Yeah, I could work out just like, do you know Sean Wands has a son called Marlon and Marlon has a son named Sean. Yes, so cute. I, you know, black people are just so fun. I love the way we do things. So yeah, but just reach out and have a chat with your friend and you know, get these feelings out. And yeah, hopefully it works out. Best of luck to you, babe. I just bought it. I last letter. Oh, it is incredible. Yeah, it is I, I just kind of sat there and stared at the wall for a while after I finished it. I, it's the kind of book where I already bought it on Kindle. I'm now, I'm, I must have the physical copy and I'm probably going to get the audio book as well. It's one of those ones where I need to sit with it and go back to it over and over again. That lady is a gifted writer. I'm excited. It's one so yeah, it is, it is, oh, it is excellent. I cannot say enough. It's hard to have best book of the year so far. It's 20, 20. It is incredible. This one telling you like, I can't wait. It is, it is, it is, uh, uh, I see why she's taught in schools. Yeah. Based on the description. Oh, oh, yeah, it's the opus. Oh, never mind. The character. Yeah, yeah. I get, yes. Okay. Okay. Anyway. Our last letter comes from Judge Judy who says, I'm 33 year, I'm a 33 year old woman living in New York City. And two months ago, I went to Bali with my long distance boyfriend for our anniversary trip and came back home single. He broke up me on the last day of the trip, which honestly was for the best. And I hadn't heard from him since he dropped me off at LAX for my flight home. Then last week, I got a long paragraph text from him that said, hey, hope you're well and enjoying your summer. I put the film picks from our trip and our shared album and it's hard. That's great. Plus, I heard you found a new apartment. I'm so happy you're not stressed out about that anymore. By the way, can you send me $830 for the flight when you get a chance. Suice. My exa put our flights to Bali on his credit card and we agreed to split the cost while we were together. I gave him half of what I owed when he bought them. And we agreed that I would send the other half later because I had a lot of financial challenges at the beginning of the summer. But and this is a big but. He got to stay at our Marriott Resort for six nights for free because my mom gifted her resort points to us for our anniversary. She is a caregiver for my stepdad and cannot travel it all this year. So all we had to do was pay for our flights. Knowing all this when we broke up, I was honestly dumbfounded that that man would ask me for that money back while pretending like he gave a fuck about anything going on in my life. Even though it's technically what we agreed to, I found it tasteless and tacky. He makes twice as much as I do. And yet, all throughout our relationship, he expected me to equally share the cost of seeing each other every month. All of my friends told me to ignore him and not send him a dime, but I have a lot of shame about asking for or owing any one money. I've always paid people back. I've never owed anybody in my life. And I don't want that hanging over my head. At the same time, it's really not a great time for me to be given somebody such a large sum of money, especially to this selfish man. It is so expensive to live and move in New York as y'all well know, and I'm still recovering from moving at the end of July. That is so valid. What would y'all do in my situation? Am I tripping for not wanting to give him this money back? Would y'all give the money back? Thanks and love you so much. Judge Judy. Judy, you already know how we're going to answer this question. And so it gets to a point where it's like, what, how do you feel about us? I get it because Judy has some things around money and owing people and okay, sweetie. How strongly you are wounded in that way. You can cloud your judgment. Will you still feel strongly about it? If you tell this person in a direct manner, I am never going to do that. I don't owe you anything. It's never going to happen. This conversation has ended. Do you owe this man money? If you save this man money, you don't go together no more. And you don't want to pay him. You don't owe him anything. You don't like him. And you don't have it. I would, what would I do? I would call him on FaceTime, laugh like Witch Hazel, and then hang up. I am never going to give you that money, sue me. Yeah. And and you're not going to sue me because it's going to cost more than $800 to sue me. So you're not going to do that. And the judge is going to get you. And when the judge finds out that you got to stay in a resort in Bali for six goddamn nights, six for the freeze. Three nights in Bali. The resort is way more than the flights. Come on. The judge has got to say, "Girl, it's a wash." You really tried it. I think this is more about Judy's own feelings around money. She says she has a lot of shame about asking people from money or owing anybody money that is something to pay attention to. Right. You said, you know, you've never owed anybody in your life. You don't want that hanging over your head. But I'm here to make you feel all better because you still don't owe. Not owe. You still don't owe nobody. Nothing. I understand. That's what y'all agreed to do. However, y'all were in a relationship then you aren't now and the value of what you gave him as far as the resort. It's really the the free six nights at the resort that's selling it for me. Don't give this man shit over arch over arch. Right. Issue here, point here. And he makes twice as much as you do. No, baby. No. Please do not inconvenience yourself and be scraping together trying to get on a payment claim with con Edison and all this because your ex wants $800 back from you. No. No. Unfortunately, when he decided to break up with you on the last day of the trip, he forfeited that refund. That's actually girl law. So yeah, I would. Bitch. And then you ever asked me for a fucking dime. No, baby. I'm never. And I mean, never absolutely zero chance that you were going to get money from me. And not because I just don't fuck with you and I owe you the money, but I do not owe you anything. I genuinely feel like the six free nights in Bali was your $800. And then some without question. Six or a night doubtedly. She bitch. If somebody offered me six free nights at a resort in Bali, right now would tell you hose no episode of the reading next week. Thanks. Waving out the airplane window. I'm grabbing Laney's food, dropping her off at the daycare. And I'm going to fucking Bali. What you mean? Yeah. Yeah. You more than made up for them $800. I'm out. I stay sick eight week. At a resort in Bali because of your connection. Ciao, y'all drinking out of coconut. And it's a resort too. So it's drinks included. All the foods included. He got way better than $800 worth rights. Water slides. It's it. Clubs and shit. Swim up pulls. Swim with pulls with the swim up bar. Right. I'm not giving you no fucking $800. Remember when we was at the swim up bar. And we drank peanut coladas all fucking day and hung out with the white people. from Pennsylvania. I'm not giving you eight. I'm not. I'm not giving you eight hundred seconds. Ignore that like your friend said. If he hit you up again, simply block him because he got you fucked up girl. Block him. He had you. He had you fucked up when he made twice as much as you did, but still wanted y'all to split everything. 50 years. I'm wrong with this. I'm actually don't get that. I know. And it's gonna be so hard on man. You asked a girl. A man I'm supposed to cook a clean. A man's supposed to go out and make the money. Okay. But this is how you. Okay. Hmm. Interesting. Again, just one last time, you don't feel pressure or anxiety about not paying money that you owe. Not in this situation, because you don't owe anybody money. Not here. No. So please let your head hit that pillow with no stress and no strife. You have nothing to worry about here. Ignore that man and move on with your life. Enjoy living in my Donnie Stein. It is amazing over here. Yeah, it's pretty nice. Moving south, everywhere. But moving in New York, a cool $3,000 minimum. I mean. It's so expensive to move here. Not to mention just a massive pain in the ass. It's really stressful, but at least it's not freezing yet. You didn't have to put that yet in there. Hell, it might not be freezing at office here in New York. Oh, no, we're, it's already cool. So I'm not mad because I get to walk Laney any time of day, which is great without either one of us getting overheated. But link go outside and be like, woo. Yeah, let's do this little park tomorrow. And then we're going back upstairs. Yes. Laney would just stay outside and die if I let the drag her back. That nigga do not care. She welcomes them. She would rather a bake outdoors. Like we're gonna run around this year to whatever, just as soon as that panting gets a little too heavy, she's like, when do we go back? She let it really hold tongue is touching the sidewalk. And I'm like, I have to pick you up. I have to, I have to pick you up and carry you home. Is she fighting the whole way? Like, you know, mama, with my friends. Hey, you know, if you let her do it, she's going to do that. She's gonna lay down on the side. You're right. No, I'm like, now you look, you look half dead. We're going inside where the air conditioning is on. Shit. Oh, they're great. I love them. Yeah. They're the best. Good luck judge. Judy don't get that nigga shit. That will wrap up the list of letters this week. Again, if you have a question for us, send us an email, ask the [email protected]. We'll be right back. We are back folks. It is finally time for the read. I got a couple of things to try and get through them quickly. One apple. I just saw what is apparently called the iPhone duo. A foldable iPhone. Are you cool? Ain't Samsung been doing that for like 10 years? Oh, actually, I think they have. Oh, no, let me look that up though. That sounds crazy. That's real. That's not. Yeah, they just announced it today. Well, I was about to say. Oh, I think it was going to be a like a regular iPhone, 18 or whatever. Oh, no, I see it. Yeah. Oh, wow. You know, the girls are going to grab it. I might be the girls. It looks kind of cool. I have to look at a demo or something for it. Yeah, let me see some videos. I do need a new phone. That's why I need to stop. Actually, I don't need a new phone. I would like a new phone because I'm fully at the age now where I can do the Unc granddaddy. I have a cricket phone. This is a no. Yeah. Hot text. My mama. And that's it. Three, three, three, three, two, two, you have to text them. Damn. But before we had full keyboards, yeah, I don't need another Apple product. Baby, I already got iPad, iMac laptop, the phones, watch, AirPods. I don't need shit else from the people, bro. I really do not. Damn, this does look kind of cool. It do, it do. I'm not buying this. I swear I'm not buying it, but it does look good. I'm not. Yeah, they couldn't get you with them. Got that same. So I have a mini iPad. What the fuck I need with this? That's what I'm saying, too. It's like, I don't need it. I don't know if I need a phone to open all the way like that. It looks cool, but I don't think I needed to do that horizontally. Like, oh, bitch, but if it if it displays books, like if you read a book on it and it's it's opens up like a book. Now hold on. Now, if they don't do that, what was the recipe? Right, then what was the point? Yeah, they have to do that. But I'm not buying this fucking phone. I'm not buying it right now. I'm a way to a new one come out and then this one drop in price by $200. And I mean, the legend of Zelda Ocarina time comes out before the year start. Switch to explain. I tried. I tried to order the 40th anniversary special edition, uh, legend of Zelda switch to that is coming out. Try them nerds sold it out immediately. But I do think this is going to have to be where I break down and get a switch to you got me girl. You're going to time trailer got me girl. Yo, are you happy Nintendo? Okay, you my baby, mama, you one. I am so excited that I'm finally blasting through tears of the gang. I hope by the time we fill the time we take next week, I can say I'm done because I can't let that game come out. And I'm not done with this one. And I feel like so certain that I'm genuinely going to love it because a nostalgia. I had an intent of 64. I remember that. Oh, wow. Yeah. So seeing it all done up with new graphics, I definition and the music like I'm going to love that game. I think you're also going to love it because it's Zelda. Yeah, it's played Zelda when he's a kid for a bit. Yeah, story so good. And it's like the whole trailer. I need it. It's it's whimsical and childlike and I can't wait. It looks fun. But since we talking about Nintendo, girl, step up to the front you too. So I watched the direct that came today. Zelda was the yesterday and then you had a separate one today. Why why are you having 45 minutes or two hour long directs where 40 minutes of it is like, Hey, here go this six-year-old game. That's finally coming to Nintendo switch. And then you had an herb to be like, if you want the the switch to version, if you already have the switch version, you want the switch to version that's like a prettier. Oh my god. We'll sell it to you for a discount. A lot of the games are saying, Hey, if you have the switch one version, you can just upgrade to switch to for free. But you oh, okay. So so you don't have to pay for it again. And so, but you have to turn in like old one. Like I have Animal Crossing, right? Right. When Animal Crossing switch to version comes out, which is the same game, just high definition, same shit, friends per second. Games like that will be like just going to the e-shot, hit upgrade. And you can download for for okay. Yeah. And then the old replace it in the library. Yeah. But then there was one today. I think it was Hyrule Warriors is getting a switch to a version. Mind you, not the sequel that's based on tears of the king done that came up on the last year or the year before. The Hyrule Warriors that came out after Breath of the Wild is getting switched to version. And he's always had the nerve to say, if you have the original one, you can get this one for a discounted price. Bitch, you want me to buy this game again for a discount? This game that came out when I was in college with some shit. Bitch, shut the fuck up. Nintendo, huh? No, thank you. Just doing shit. Trump got these girls being like, well, suck our titties. You're going to get us all of it. Mario Kart $90. Like what? Super Smash Brothers is going to cost the amount of the switch. It's ridiculous, especially given the fact that you're releasing like, I don't know. They'll release like Pokemon go on a switch and be like, here's 15 dollars. What's going on? So that's upsetting me and my homegirls, but are you still My baby daddy, am I going to give you the coin for awkward enough time? Am I going to buy whatever the next Pokemon is? Am I, yes, yes. Am I gonna get the next Mario? Yeah. I hate you for that. Do better. Do better. I think we just do Beyonce after. So I wanna say a very quick thing to a woman by the name of Alicia Beth Morehart. Also known to people as pink. Thank you so much. So the singer pink has appropriately been dragged across the internet past few days because she, for whatever reason, had the gall to get her ass on the internet and call for Mack Lamour to be fired and removed from Ed Sheeran's US tour where he's opening because he had the gall to call for a freedom of Palestine during his opening set. He acknowledged the one in Palestine, the genocide in Gaza, pink's pissed, and believes that he should not only be fired but that concert goal should receive refunds. Now, imagine losing your job. Imagine having to pay back however many people at this concert because an artist say let there be peace in the Middle East. Imagine calling for the end of baby murder and being told you suck your disrespectful and you owe everybody an apology for your shit. Pink, I don't even know why you asking for refunds for a concert that you want to. Or not even remotely associated with what the fuck are you talking about? You aren't a part of the show. You are an at the show. You are not an investor. I don't believe you producing anything. I don't think that you're a tour manager. You bitch on the internet readings just like the rest of us. So why you felt so strongly that you felt like Ed Sheeran should speak out, should fire this motherfucker and people at the concert should get refunds. Now here's this. If you went to the show and you were upset that this man, who I guess still raps, had the nerve to yet again say free Palestine 'cause it's not like the only time he said this. I think he's made songs, protest stuff, or whatever. So he's not new to this. If you felt offended, you could leave. You could likely say, "Hey Ed Sheeran, I came to see you." Had no idea that the first shot man was still a thing. I'm offended, okay? Ed Sheeran being as quiet and indifferent as he is right now, would still make sense, and I would tip my hat. You concert go, or it could go to the box office, or whatever, ticket, website, whatever, and you could request a refund. I also would not be surprised if they said to you, "Girl, no, no, no." You could do that because you were affected by it because you paid your money to go there and you did not have a great time. Oh, and way. Pink, you calling for refunds for a show that you weren't present at is wild. It's wild, and I'm tired of people equating the free Palestine sentiment or people who are pro-Palestine to anti-Semitism, because that in itself is anti-Semitic and it is dangerous. Right. It's dangerous. I don't understand. You would think that the man went up there and did like MIA and said, "Well, if you're illegal tough." (laughing) That's what pitched you off that he said free Palestine? What do you not believe those people deserve to be free? Really pink? Really? You of all, of all the. Okay, all right. I mean, disappointed but not shocked 'cause she is still a white woman born in the 1970s. So. And now can you let the short hair and the crazy shows fool you. You just can't. (laughing) And the brief stint of making black music. Extremely brief. Oh, so brief. And honestly, I can't really think of a pink album that moved me since misunderstood. Correct. Not gonna say I haven't liked none of her songs, but whole projects, not really hitting like that first one. But you know, that was LA Re. That wasn't really hard. So. (laughing) And she has not stopped reminding us of that. Now you got people on the internet revisiting how you would go out of your way to tear down other pop girls and say that this bitch is a slut or she's stupid because she has her belly button out or cleavage or trying to just police other women in the music industry or their artistry and things like that. So now you're getting dragged, but at as well, we could have just sat down and ate your boot. Mm-hmm. Did you see her Instagram stories after this? Thankfully, no, I did not. But I heard. (laughing) I saw a headline that said, "Pink seemingly responds." And just that word, that choice of word, let me know that whatever the response was, was fucking stupid. So I didn't look at her. It's a bunch of. You know how people act like they unbothered, so they post a bunch of memes about how they unbothered. (laughing) That's what I think. If stuff like one of them says being liked by everyone is a clown's job. (laughing) That doesn't even make sense. I'm not for everyone, and honestly, that has saved me a lot of time. What do you mean? Probably what I fucking said. I'm very popular with people who have never met me. Like it's just all these different memes of like, don't let idiots ruin your day. It's your day, mama. Seize it and ruin it yourself. If they want to paint you as the villain, then bitch, pose. It's like, oh my God, you are so old and corny. I love the one about saving time. Like you ain't wasting all of it. (laughing) You're gonna save yourself time by shutting the fuck up. Imagine how much I can't stand your bullshit. I don't just say well things on social media. In real life, I say I'm with eye contact. Like all right, pop off then, diva. Shut the fuck up. You are so deeply pressed. Shut the fuck up. The man can say free, Palestine. Palestine deserves to be free. If that bothers you, that is really, really a you problem, girl. People are walking around with their children and garbage bags. Children are walking around with their limbs in their hand. People are getting their babies, are having their limbs amputated with like, no anesthesia, like basic equipment. Yeah, I don't have a problem with this white man I never saw it for and completely did not know we're still making music. Going up on stage and saying people deserve to be treated equally. Children deserve to live and have to live and water and go to school and not worry about being bombed. And here you go saying fire the bitch. Where does she get in there and give back everyone at their coin? Why are you even never? So you realize you're in the wrong. You're in the wrong. The people you're supporting are killing kids. How are you caping for this? Like, why would you just, I don't understand why I shouldn't the fuck up wasn't the first thing you thought you could do that. It would have put him in so easily. Oh my God. That be case put on the harness and sling shot your ass into the shed and don't come down and that's and that's for real. And while we're at it, boy, George, shut your faggot ass up. I don't know why you talking either because not only where you damn sure not there, you aren't even Jewish like what? The bitch came for talking about some, you know, champion and paying good for her and it's here and does clearly doesn't have a spine because he hasn't spoken out. What? I'm like, is it? Okay. Or like fentanyl. What is what are your are you bitches on drugs? I'm tweaking or y'all don't see all these y'all don't see what's happening over there. You're not seeing the footage of these dead babies and rubble absolutely every fucking wearing people without phone and are you? Oh my God, insane. But you know what? Keep coming to the front so I know who to cross all right. You right. Keep stepping to the front, baby, so I know who to chop. Please, please, it's sickening. It's frustrating. It's fucking stupid, but cut the grass, I guess. You're an idiot, yeah, you are an idiot, you're a why? wide open dumbass and this is going to be, this is going to be where the buck stops. Of you trying to come out forward and speak, do his whack ass fake virtue signaling bullshit to be like, "Well, in fact, that is not the way that art is supposed to be." Girl, you dress up like a fucking circus ringmaster. Who are you catapult yourself around in a ringnut? Like, shut up bitch. Like, thank, when have you ever spoken up instead for any fucking thing? Oh, wow. When is the, not to say she's never done it, but when is the last time you have actually opened up and spoken about anything? Probably the '80s. Probably HIV/AIDS or something. And I'm not even trying to be funny. Probably is. Imagine me sitting on here with my black ass defending Maclamore. That is what you have done to me, Pink. [laughs] So in the worst-- I'll tell you something. I should never be in this position. [laughs] So in honor of "Thorogy Thor," I will say, "Hey, Pink." Hey, Pink. Just a head of your time, girl. Listen. It's really weird. A white dreaded oracle. Come on. I said, "Work, Thorogy." [laughs] Go enjoy a talk about some-- he tried to act like saying free Palestine was itself virtue signaling and most people who say that don't have actual political knowledge. And if you say free Palestine, you have enough political knowledge. How much knowledge do you think I need to have to understand that people shouldn't be getting blown up as to try to their homes? [laughs] How many years of school do you think I need to figure that out for myself? Hollywood Coke is getting wild. I don't know what-- I can't be saying it, dude. And they cutting their soup with some dubious things, babes. Yeah. So I think that's about it for me. Oh, OK. Did you want to talk about that, Creole? Women or not? We can just go ahead and jump on. Unless you want to save that for the-- after you're done. Well, no, I was going to talk about Pink, and I was going to talk about this bitch. Let me just do that real quickly, actually. It's a regular everyday person. Her name is Michelle Luciao-Rabora. She's 32 years old. She believes that she believes. I believe she lives in Florida. Yes. She is from Florida. She used to be a therapist. That is until she was arrested for fucking her patients. Yes, this bitch engaged in sexual conduct with her client multiple times at the alcohol and drug treatment facility where she worked, where he was a patient. She also got him signed out so they could go have sex in other places, including her mama's house, at her house, at Jackson Memorial Hospital, all of these in Homestead, Florida. Yes, his therapy sessions were actually just covers for her to sexually assault him. And then she broke up with him after a few months, and thought that that just was going to be the end of it. No, sweetie. You ended things with that man a few months after you started them. He immediately told them people, and she was fired. What actually, I'm not even sure what pisses me off the most. Anytime therapists do something so blatantly wrong, it pisses me off because therapy, we fight an uphill battle with a lot of people already. So you're making it worse. But also this bitch was also only just an intern. So I'm like, you were me. You, you, I was an intern. I, I've been in this position of working directly with clients in an internship. There's no part of your education schooling. Like there's from day one, you are taught what we are allowed and not allowed to do. You are taught that this is a position of power over another person. Therefore, you cannot engage. You not even supposed to engage casually as friends with your fucking clients, much less in this kind of dynamic. Are you out of your fucking mind? Gotta be. Well, you're in prison now. The jails will, the jail will deal with you. But I just was disgusted when I heard this story. What a trifle image. And no, I don't care that you a woman and he a man and you 32 and he 42. You're the therapist intern or not. You're the fucking therapist. You, the burden of acting right is on you. And you fucking know that you fucking know it. Stupid bitch. Talking about don't tell nobody about us fucking because I'm not supposed to do it and I can get in trouble. But then broke up with him a few months later. OK. You didn't even have the good sense to stay. Never mind, because I'm not even going to call a good sense. This person, you, this is just horrific. You dumb dumb bitch. Well, I don't know what was so appealing about this man. But he was your patient. He was your client first and foremost. You had no business being a therapist. And I guess the only bright side is that we caught your ass before you actually had your license. And when the head is said, you know what? Get this bitch right on out of here, actually. And now you're going to jail. And you'll never work in a health care position like this again. You'll never work in a position where you're supposed to be around up clients or patients. You'll never be trusted with because you don't know how to act. You're going to have a hard time getting work period, so. God damn, this is a felony. So welcome to no longer working or voting. Garbage has white woman for dig. But yeah, that is a client. A client. I don't care what that man said to you. I know how men act in the context of mental health. I have had clients hit on me before. Not my own clients, but clients at my clinic. I understand that a lot of different things may have happened where maybe you felt flattered or attracted. But this is your fucking job. I just don't know how does everybody not take a serious? Like, I feel like I was locked in from day one at grad school. Everything then people told me. They have you signed forms. These are legal documents. You playing with somebody else's license. Like, that's nothing to you. I just feel like it should be taught or enforced. It's what you're talking about. But we do have to teach in enforcement, because a lot of male predominantly psychiatrists and psychotherapists absolutely used to sleep with their clients. So it's a rule for a reason. But bitch, when I tell you this is right up there with privacy as far as things that are drilled into your head from the beginning of your program. So absolutely zero excuses for it. I don't care what that man said. I don't care what he did. You're the therapist. You are supposed to know and do better, period. Now you're going to jail. Oh, yeah. It was her Alicia for me. Yeah, prison in Florida. Woo. All right. Well, such a separate dimension. So this woman really feels like she can just take everything that we have. And I'm really disgusted because she's right. I know it. So go ahead and tell the people that you bought the box. I did not buy that box. But here's a truly treacherous and insidious factor. I considered it. And I think a lot of people did. I thought about buying this limited edition could be heaper box. I mean, they call it a work of art. I mean, it's beautiful. That's a box. An essential piece of art for the hive. It's gorgeous. It is. It's a $1,000 box. Yeah. BSA-- it gets to a point. I mean, it's like this is trolling. It is. It is. BSA. BSA. $1,000 for an empty box, Steve. There's nothing in it. When I first clicked the link, I thought that the box included all of the new merch. No, not the box. I thought everything on that page was included in the box. So I was like, oh, surely the people will just add to cart and check out. And then it became more clear that that was not what was going on. And this wasn't data wooden box with green velvet on the inside. And I said, huh, what about that check on it, bundle? That's cute. Girl, my boots entirely. I want that BNA candle bad. I'm mad it's not shippin' 'til October 10th. October or November 'cause that B-Day candle girl that should have came off with a Vagos. I, uh, oh yeah. The. I thought the box had the vinyls in it and like a vinyl player or maybe the box plays. Ooh. Vinyls. Ooh! Yeah. Oh. Okay. Let's, let's discuss the fact that this woman is selling garments that are the video Garmin like that's the Freakham dry. Yeah, that is the Freakham dry. That's the body is from kitty cat. It is And then the kitty cat with the matching brolet and underwear I Don't think I've ever seen that. I'm gonna need that actually. I'm gonna need it all all of this actually. I said, oh god damn it beyond say I Need this man. I need that whole check. You hear this bitch? The no Yeah, I don't think that I've ever seen artists sell Like clothing that basically perfectly replicates Yeah, the stuff from a video. I said mama knows what time it is she knows how long he's coming up And she knows that the girls are gonna be out here dressed like Beyonce She's disgusting, so I'll tell you what I bought Right, so let's get to the list of everything you purchased. I only bought three things Let me pull up my email because I think I play two separate orders And then the next day I slept on it and then I went back. I love that you went to bed. I'm like, okay Okay, let me just let me give it up. That's enough. That's enough. I did good. Right Tomorrow we got a head straight Mormon. Um, I bought the green light t-shirt less be honest and less be for real. Mm-hmm had to I bought the anthology t-shirt with all the different Video references and looks on it and And I just I got the the The pins No, I didn't I didn't get the pins. What was it?

Yeah, I want that candle next to your birthday Right for my birthday, so So you know I did a little damage nothing too crazy, but you know the thing about There's always discourse when Beyoncé puts out new Merch and and of course the people have had a lot to say about this thousand-dollar empty box and All I have to say is Beyoncé is not providing a public service She's not in charge of your water your gas your electricity your internet your housing your food Your transportation all of this is superfluous all of it is for entertainment Not a single thing Beyoncé sells is essential to your health if you do not want to buy What she is selling guess what diva you don't have to that's so true You just don't have to you and there's Merch is cheap as $20 There's Merch is cheap as a thousand No, it's not a thousand. It's nine four eight one because she's a petty That's so fucking stupid. It's nine hundred and forty-eight dollars and one cent because of course it is yeah, but You don't Beyoncé isn't like taking your taxes and then not fixing your roads or something a lot of this iron that y'all have about oh my god We can't afford groceries we can't afford gas. That's that Beyoncé her merch. Don't have shit to do with that So you remember when Rihanna. Yeah, baby. You're not entitled to it. Remember when Rihanna sold at 200 all the book and then she was also like Here's a collector collector's edition of it that comes with a marble pedestal to hold the book in and it was like a thousand like 1700 how much was this shit? It was no chance. I was buying it. Well, I did this exact thing. I have to do it I said Rihanna what I'm not doing is Spending a stack plus on this my revenge. I'm not rich. I'm I don't have that kind of I'm just not that big of a I might have seventeen hundred dollars, but not for that. That's what I mean like I'm not I'm not like and here's the marble pedestal like I'm not it's not giving it I Already bought the book twice because I ruined the first when spilled a cup of coffee on it So I already bought the book twice right chip legitimately like genuinely it is and I know that but I was never going to spend that amount of money on a pedestal. I don't care what if it was made out It could have been made out of Rihanna's own bones like that So but I tell you I look at that notes like oh wow Amazing what the girls can do like old girls grandma. I would be like well Look at that, okay, and you know who bought it rich niggas who are Navy who absolutely adore her have like probably a space in their house of all their Rihanna memorabilia and stuff and it's I mean that is a beautiful way to display a gorgeous book You know actually have people leave through it. So again, we wealthy collectors and stuff Yes, I appreciate it. Just want to have things right right and that's likely what will happen with this It's exactly what will happen with this box. I see the pre-orders are sold out Damn like because the girls were like ma'am ma'am a thousand dollars. I see what you're doing here, and that's cute for you So I'm gonna go ahead and scroll down to this These birthday cards real quick. Yeah, right. I'm gonna go ahead and get that $40 candle and Let me go and get that pink polka dot check on it jacket that crop jacket Let me get that That's that and I mean and that is fine. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it But I did see a tick-tock of somebody who had not only every Beyonce vinyl She had every Destiny's child album on vinyl and she had all of her singles on vinyl and I said this box is for you This box is for this girl who has and none of them have been opened. They're all still in the shrink wrap first That's for you. You might have outhaved me Listen, and Destiny's child Right, I said oh Sometimes I step back and let the better bitch have it. I do think I have all her solo albums on vinyl. Oh, I know I do But I don't have Destiny's child girl. That's legit. Somebody's just giving her I'm not I'm just not going to go back and forth about Be I say redo room. We don't have no money. Don't buy it. You don't have to This isn't it's not your baby school uniform Right, you don't have to you don't have to buy it. I don't even think that Beyonce would want you to buy it over your face Like this is for people Mm-hmm can afford it Want it interested in it if not completely okay I don't think Beyonce is gonna be like well you suck and you're not a real fucking Hive member because why when she's like a thousand dollars on this box. She's not Nicki Minaj. So I was when I tell you was on the tip of my fucking tongue That's what we do show She's not gonna get on Twitter and be like you broke bitches didn't buy my box She gonna be delighted to see you girls dress up her as a Halloween Halloween and wearing your right gonna get on TikTok talking about you fat bitches sold out all the two X's first. She's gonna put down her little handwritten card. A Christmas to be like thank you, I love you so much. Merry Christmas, 2026. And that'll be it. I saw this hilarious meme on our post on threads. I have to give you, this is spoiler for screen 5. No problem. The killer at the end of screen 5 is revealed to be the girl who plays a Nora. What's her name Mikey Madsen? Something like that, yeah. She's in scream as like one of the main characters best friends and then at the end she's revealed that she's the one of the killer. And when she reveals, she reveals it because she pulls the gun out, shoots someone and then she turns to the main cast and she goes time for act 3 because the whole thing is about movies, like they're all kind of a set on like the stab movie series and horror movies very meta. And so it's the climate. It took part of the movie and so it's that someone posted a lot beyond say after she sell out all this b-day match. Welcome to act 3 and she fires the gun and the rest of them are like it was so fun. I think I saved that online. I've reposted it on threads. Oh my god. That shit. Correct me because they have seen the movie a million times. So it was such a good use of it. But also it was like what should it take everybody's money basically girls spent a thousand dollars on his box. And then she's going to be like guess who's back on the road girls take it's on sale next week. She's going to do it and you know what y'all are going to do. Tell your man to reach in them pockets because I'm going to see Beyonce and there's really no debate about it. Imagine giving a bitch nigga 830 dollars. Oh my god. When Beyonce is around the coin when I could give Beyonce another 200 and have a box. Why would I get it nigga 8? Why would I ever do? Oh man. I know if I could pull off this freaking dress bitch you know it was but never not see me outside. I don't know why you just buy it in every color. You're kind of right. Why not? Yeah. There are no rules. You only get this one life. What you want the teal or the gold or the silver? I'm trying to see if she doesn't get you to go here. Get the hair clip to always sold out. This is ridiculous. How are you saying just not sold out this this this freaking dress yet? These things are cut. They do look good. Beyonce. Oh, the small and medium are gone. Love her. She's insane. And y'all really thought that lady was going to spend her birthday performing with her husband. Y'all flew the London mat because she didn't perform at that man's concert. Y'all dancing on her birthday? On her birthday? She was up there. Yeah. I'm asking around. Okay. She was probably a couple drinks deep. Probably had an edible. Her kids around her mom it is. She had a hot dog. She had no good time. A good old arena hot dog. Love a glizzy. Let them have a naffins. I know I need a mustard napkin in some space. I gotta have ketchup too. No, what? I want ketchup mustard and that's it. I have to eat both. I cannot condone. Ketchup. Barack Obama said nobody over the age of 10 should eat ketchup. Why would you do that? Rock first of all, that was like who do you listen? Now that was that's true because you thought to ask him who he thought he was. I was going to say who you think you talk it to. Oh, no, I actually don't think I eat ketchup that much. I do eat them on our hot dogs, but I'm trying to think about you ketchup with anything else. I don't even think I eat ketchup with fries. Yeah, there's just so many other sauces that are great with fries, but ketchup is a classic. I'm not opposed to ketchup, but Barack Obama feels strongly about. He's actually anybody over the age eight. He is straight. That was weird. He said kids can have ketchup, but at a certain point you need to outgrow it. I do think a lot of you got outgrow ketchup quite naturally. I mean, because it is just extremely salty, pureed tomato. Maybe tomato, depending on who you talk to. Oh, yeah. It's just sugar, salt, tomato, you know, vinegar, whatever. It's not, the ketchup is whatever, but yeah, it's so different here. Yes, I had ketchup, mustard, onions, radish, all that shit on her, fucking glizzy. I wanted her to get on stage and bounce around for you. No, although I won't be shocked if she does it in Paris, you know, as Paris is just very special to them. Yeah, and it won't be her birthday anymore. Definitely. It won't be her fucking birthday, right? I work every day. I did numerous concerts with this nigga in his hometown. It's my birthday. The world is ending. I'm going to get drunk, eat a glizzy and dance. And I love to see it. And you do deserve a sister. You do. Not you deserve a thousand dollars to 500. Like Beyonce, is this wood from the tree that the trees that grew on your in the property of your childhood home at like Mother Willow from Pocahontas? What are we doing here? Blue, Blue created this shade of green for the velvet. What are we doing? She probably did. It's probably a color nobody ever saw before. Blue got in the lab with pants on. It was her idea. And she set the price. Yeah, somebody. Somebody sent me a message on Thursday and said, remember when you found Beyonce in the dryer? And she said, you found me. You go get that box and you open it. Beyonce comes out like a hologram. It's like, you found me. That's hilarious. That would be incredible. That's really. But I don't think some people aren't denial. They're like, there's no way it's empty. It comes with, you know, tickets to act three. It comes with, it's going to be like Willy Wonka. It's going to be, I'm like, I don't think so, y'all. I think it is genuine. I think it is genuinely an empty box and there are zero perks. Outside of getting to say that you had a stack to spend on this vibe. Right. Other other than that. But you're not going to go on the special beehive list. No. Missy vet is not going to text you and be like, would you like free VIP tickets? Like, you're not, you're not about to swing birthday party. Yeah, it's a box. And you better enjoy your fucking box. Like, I know the visuals in it. Yeah, I mean, you don't supply. No. How can the visuals be in it when you the visuals, baby? That box sticky out of here. She has actually disrespected us to our faces so many times and laughs and laughs about it. And laughs about it. She made the price her birthday. She's just like, she's insane. Unhinged to be honest. It could have been $94.81 girl easily. She's like, no, we're going to go get wood from the finest trees on earth and put some velvet in there. Okay, we're going to put like a bee emblem and a foe gator strap. Oh, Lord, it's a large blest all the wood or some shit. Okay. But $1,000 it could have been real gator, but maybe not supposed to do that. That's one of those things. I think if I were wealthy, I'm like, what do I buy it? If I just had a shit to know, is this one of the things we're having in my house, this $1,000 box would be like, I did that. Absolutely. I spent $1,000 on this book. No, if $1,000 means nothing to you, if $1,000 might as well be $10, then yeah, you're going to get the fucking box. I'd buy it and I take a picture of Link in it. Right. You need to actually. Sure you would. All right. Well, I do believe that we wrap up this week's episode of The Read. Check us out on social media at this is The Read.
