things started today with black excellence as we always do i'm going to give it over to victor glover first black nasa pilot who just returned from the moon literally if you haven't heard about artemis 2 big old spaceship that they just shot up off of earth and for a brief i don't know what 10 days or something like that this nigga got to live the dream not going to the moon but getting far far away from here far away far away from here and every anything to do with it yeah in the stars yeah praise god uh especially for bringing him back now that part you know he's got a family and a life here so lovely for him in theory for me why you know why come back yeah okay you know when rappers make a whole bunch of money and they move out the hood and then who's like oh you never return you never come back to the block for what they did all this work and all the schooling to never have to do that um i'm losing the plot victor glover returned to earth first of all i watched the the launch but i didn't see the landing and i forgot that they were gonna get back so fast i mean okay i didn't i mean i knew that they were just kind of doing like a wee and coming right back but i looked up one day and the niggas were in the ocean and i was like okay i guess it's done he gave a really really lovely speech over at the nasa and it's quite endearing because you know he's saying that he didn't hadn't even really processed what they just done which i mean riding into space i think that might take you a little bit yeah a little while to kind of be like yeah i did that yeah and now i'm back here so go check that out i love the speech she also posted on on the twitter home again mission complete i hope we glorified god humanity our families and our terrific teams at nasa and csa time to share the good news and here he is with the the family all gorgeous black women natural hair you it was really sweet um well i mean i was locked into that whole mission like i not you know i'm not a space hoe i don't really fuck with space and all that like it's cool or whatever but i'm just told you i've never been super interested yeah but this was the footage they captured and all of that was just really incredible and then yeah once they landed safely their asses was in that water and they got them out and everything i was like damn i i had an exhale in me that i didn't even realize i was nervous about whether they was gonna make it back safely but yes yeah it was nice the funniest part was when they had to talk to trump and they was all just kind of sitting there like girl uh it's over yet you know i forget sometimes that there are so many like ceremonies ceremonial processes that come with the president being there and it's like again to the point that i was just making you do all this great work you leave this shithole you go do something monumental inexplicable just just outside of like literal rocket science right and then you come back to the ghetto and then you have to talk to like the worst part of it but the worst person on the planet yeah they actually talked to him when they were still in space which is like yuck i'm trying to like do my job and have a good time and all this and here you go i remind right right i don't need a reminder but yeah that was very sweet everything that he posted and all that and i was just you know glad they made it back this is what i want my tax dollars to go towards you know science and shit like that not going to war with iran for no goddamn reason but anyway yeah you know little things now it's time for a pop culture and lifestyle segment okay that's called hot tops you have you gone to see you and me in tuscany yet i have not have you i think i'm gonna go i haven't seen it yet but i think i'm gonna go it looks cute i love the baileys uh i don't i know that this is the brother from from um british yeah because i remember when everybody was talking about the brother from british yeah i don't watch british 10 brothers oh that's too bad but i do know who this is great it's great i love that for you um but i might go watch this oh that's okay all right well uh poosh ice these lawyer bradford cohen says the rapper remains in good spirits despite um despite the judge denying his baby because you're not going anywhere babes you won't be going a fuck place yep yep yep he's definitely looking at lifetime imprisonment if convicted and babe i mean i believe all the nails are in that coffin honey i think that those were those were fastened in the moment that she posted selfies with that nigga jewelry on that'll do it so i mean get the dorito pie ready babe it also says that his daddy is on house arrest it will remain on house arrest that was two hundred fifty thousand dollar bond he's permitted to go absolutely the fuck nowhere except for to and from court dates i don't even know if that nigga could go in the yard and um he's looking at some some hard time too for being present in right right you can't oversee it can't really be complicit in a federal crime you can't really do that they kind of run up i mean you hopped on the greyhound did they tell you they were taking you to cold stone like did you just like oh we're driving all the way and us to east atlanta or well not you know right i saw the um that the lawyer went on some podcast or something and was like the prosecution said he printed off the contract at staples and he was actually printing off song lyrics and i'm like is this the number one thing that needs to be addressed like is this what you think the number one issue is with this story the fact that like maybe they printed off song lyrics versus the fucking needs all the details how else can we have our really petty unnecessary uh video essays yeah god damn i'm so tired of everybody having a fucking like sir this is not okay the the crime was not printing the contract or the lyrics or whatever the crime is every fucking thing else that was done like let's focus on what really matters here i want to know all of it because it's all fucking right i'm not going to do that i'm not going to do and it should have and it's so far from something that ever should have happened yeah i want to know every square inch of it so i can have a good laugh like i deserve to have like all the information so that i can have the appropriate so stopping at a staples is just so delicious because it's just so i mean it is extremely stupid and it's it's one stupid thing on a giant pile of other very stupid things right but this is one of the things that i'm not going to do and i'm not going to do it and i'm not going to do it and i'm not going to do it and i'm not going to do it and i'm not going to do it when they tell that man he's not getting out of prison for another 15 20 years minimum i'm going to be like yeah i you know i i won't be marching for this one i i'll have no choice but to sit back i'll have no choice but to sit back and be like yeah them white people did what they had to do you're a goddamn menace my nigga you don't know how to act i didn't even get a mixtape my nigga do you know what i've been waiting for new proof sites yikes yikes and you went you got on the greyhound you went to the staples why didn't you also go to starbucks and get some coffee and then ask them to put criminal as the name on the cut yeah what other evidence did you need yeah anyhow gucci man has released a response song it is titled crash dummy he addresses the record i mean the robbery the the armed um robbery and an attempt to disengage from his 10 17 contract lord i believe one of the initial lyrics to the song is gucci saying you went out like a real crash dummy and after all that boy you still signed to me and i feel like that is kind of the summary of what we were getting out when we originally spoke about this so now you're going to be locked up for the rest of your life and you will have you will remain in the contract because you had further obligations to it um and even if you didn't girl why would i right So now I will make all the money from all of your music. Yep, I sure will. I sure will. Good luck at the gates. Yeah, that is literally, I mean, if you haven't heard it, that is pretty much what Gucci said straight like that. Like, I thought we were sitting down and talking business. You niggas came in, dabbing me up, like everything was cool, like shit was sweet, and then you switched up and did all this weird fuck nigga shit. But, you know, you a big dumbass, and I knew that before. I just didn't know you was this level of stupid, but all your shit does belong to me. So thank you so much for that. I do appreciate it. He talked about putting money on a nigga's commissary. He said, pen to paper, but I was under duress. He said, I'm like, Burt, man, nigga, this my cash money. It was a very interesting song. Yeah. I see some fans are a little bit, a little bit split. There's some criticism that, you know, oh, he's snitching. And I have questions for some of you niggas who feel that way. Just a couple of things. How did we get here when it talks to snitching? Like, we evolved. I know we evolved from like the original definition of snitch to then snitch just being telling. Mm-hmm. Right? Because snitching, its origin, as far as I've always known, as a 38-year-old baby. So when you do crime with someone, and then you tell on the person to get out of the car. Yes. Right. Exactly. So if somebody came on your block and shot your neighbor, and you told somebody what you saw, that wasn't originally snitching. Right. Now it is. According to you niggas. Or if the- According to you niggas. They even call the victims snitches, which is like- Yes! Please be for real. Exactly. I'm not supposed to tell on you when you came, and shut up my house? So that's where I'm evolving to, right? Now we're at a place where this is, I guess, snitching? No. I was held at gunpoint and demanded to sign a contract, a business contract. And me talking about that is snitching? Couple things. I would argue that Poosh Heisty snitched on himself first. Then I would argue- Exactly. This being a business contract that I was involved in under duress, I clearly am going to make a report to protect my business, to report on attempts made on my business. I have to talk about it any fucking way. On top of that, I'm a rap nigga. What are we talking about? I don't understand how this is- Snitching to some of y'all. This is a man who has gone from old Gucci- Right. To a Gucci man that y'all still claim to be a clone, because he's just transformed his life and body. As if he wasn't in prison. Like, you should learn something from time behind bars. I know you little niggas are allergic to that, but you really should spend some time- Might even burn some calories. You should spend some time locked up, and then think about how you want to live differently and move differently through the world once you get out. I would rather be a Gucci than a Pooh Shiesty. Ten times out of ten. And I feel like a lot of y'all, especially after this song, probably admire Pooh Shiesty-ness. At least in the decision-making, right? Between the crime and the quote-unquote snitching. And I just- Well, I will sincerely pray for y'all tonight, because- There's something wrong. What? There's a lot. You didn't even get- You got like a song and a half from this nigga before he went right back. I feel like if Blockbuster Video was still a thing, you'd still have time before you needed to return it, compared to how long this nigga was out of jail. Prison. Yeah. People wait longer for their library books to come off a hold than this nigga was out, like, this is just- the seasons didn't even change all the way, brother. He was barely out, like- But, you know, niggas- It'd take longer to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner, to, like, to make all the- For real. I bet Jade is prepping her menu right fucking now. And this nigga- That's ridiculous. You know, it just don't- But niggas don't- The people who look up to Pooh Shiesty don't aspire to shit. They have zero expectations for their lives, and they probably don't think they'll see 30. Even he did. I mean- Till he didn't. It was just- So, yeah, here we go. The, yeah, the judge is going to keep your ass behind bars, and there is no such thing as snitching when you, the perpetrator, pose for photographs in the jewelry that you and them other niggas stole, and then upload these photographs to Instagram. Like, you niggas have legit gotten dumber. The hood niggas from back in my day- Yeah. In the 1900s and the early 2000s, them niggas would have never, ever, and I do mean ever, posted pictures online of themselves in the shit that they stole. Well, they wouldn't have done half. Y'all are allergic to doing- I mean, it's obviously not the right thing, but, like, just the even halfway smart thing. This was- Okay. All right. Now, I did see- I did see quite a few niggas say, like, you really did go out like a dummy, my nigga. You could have just fulfilled them obligations and just wrapped this shit. I did see a number of niggas say that to you. So, before, you know what I mean? I'll just lay that out in things as well. But, yeah, man, the rest of your living black days, and you, it really is wild. I mean, his contract probably sucked, or was, at least for- For him, sucked, right? But so many musicians have, unfortunately. I mean, the music industry was a racket in its inception. So, duh. Everybody says it. But there are clearly, because so many people have this issue or have this experience, there are clearly ways to deal with it outside of taking your black ass back to the poker. You could, and especially, because people have been waiting for a ton of music. We said this already. You could have just released five back-to-back projects and ran for the hills like Rihanna. Like Rihanna, right. Or, you know, you hit Gucci up about it. Gucci said, come to the studio, let's talk about it. So, it sounds like he was willing to at least have the conversation, like, maybe we can work. You went there with the intent to do dumb nigga shit. Right. That man was open to the conversation. Why didn't you call them other niggas and be like, all right, chill. I'm going to hop on the Zoom. Because I can't leave because I'm a, you know, house arrest or county arrest or whatever. So, I'm going to hop on this Zoom with Gucci. Let me at least see if we can work something. You went straight to dumb nigga shit. Why? Well, the fun for me when I think about this is just going to be, like, mental fan fiction of him going back to the love of his life. Whoever it is in there. Somebody. Mm-hmm. Somebody in there is just like, you said you would never leave. And, baby, I intend to hit that from an instant. Woo, twist some dreads for him. Okay. Now I have a mental image of Pooh Shiesty sitting crisscross applesauce. You're welcome. Yeah. Between some grown nigga, while he flip his wig and talk on the phone. He told him how to do it, too. I'm going to teach you how to rap. He was just like, listen. Because you got to protect yourself, Pooh. I can't have you out here looking crazy when I leave. We're going to watch out for you. Ah! A real love story. Speaking of disc records, Remy Ma, my God. Reminisce Smith, my God. I was hoping you heard it. Ooh-wee! Hoping I heard it. I should have known. I should have known. I should have known. Hoping I heard it. That's like saying, I hope you saw Trina at the Little Miss Drama Tour. Thank you. Right. I should have known. I should have known. I saw Remy at the Little Miss Drama Tour. Right. Like, are you kidding? Should have known. I saw Stefan Diggs at the Little Miss Drama Tour. And Quavo. Look at there. Yeah. I said, damn. Everybody but Offset. Well, Offset got offset. Patti LaBelle went. I did! What the fuck? Girl. All right. I'm going to shoot this one. Listen. Listen. Reminisce Smith. Smith is tired of everybody. She's sick of everybody. Did I listen to this song? I'm probably half of the streaming numbers. Yeah. I've been burning this record into the absolute crust. It is so good. Oh, it's good. It is amazing. Like, okay. I just. So, listen. Herima, who is still legally married to one Papoose. She's, you know. She's mostly been quiet, minding her business, living her original life. And Papoose, who is now. Now, famously, with boxing legend, pretty much best bitch with hands outside, Clarissa Shields. They've been together for quite some time. If you did not know this, then you probably just haven't heard of Clarissa Shields because she won't shut up about it. And amidst all of her swooning, they have both been throwing shade, subs, talking walk-like shit about Remy. All sorts of allegations. Actually, Remy Ma had a lover in prison. Oh, you know, just Clarissa said all kinds of shit about her. Oh, I don't want to wait till I'm this age to have kids. I don't know. I want to have kids during my career and be able to run around in a park with them and stuff. Girl. Maybe don't, actually. Maybe hold off on that. And I say that with all due respect. Maybe, maybe wait. You got some shit to work through, sister. Number two is the fact that there is documented proof owned and operated by one Mona Scott Young in which Papoose bullies this lady into having a baby. Oh, Lord. Damn. Bullies her. I remember that. I feel like he got her a pregnancy test as a present or some shit. Oh, my God. Stop it. He begged that lady for that baby. Begged. Begged. Duh. Come on. Um, Papoose also recently, I think last year, uh, hopped on somebody's live stream or somebody's Zoom podcast and said that he was instrumental. He was instrumental in writing a very large portion of Remy's music. I think he said he wrote like three songs on her first album, including Conceited. He said he wrote, oh, yeah. Well, he said he wrote 90% of what came out of her mouth. Yeah. Which, Papoose, please, we don't want to get disrespectful. I don't know if I want to start. Yeah, I'll just start there. Why would you say that? Did you, was Clarissa in the room and you had to, like, keep up the lie that you told her? What, like, why would you say that? Girl, we, there are still clips on YouTube. I know that because I've had them in my favorites for decades. Like, there are still videos of this lady in battle rants, in cyphers, that she wins. Yeah. From before y'all got together. When she was like a jit, basically. I mean, there's that. And there's also, if you were that great of a writer. I'm getting there. Okay. Because it's in the lyrics. Like, why you always. I'm just going to gazelle your black ass leg. Let me hit the plot. She has also rapped just as well alongside you. A huge part of the black power, or not black, the black love story, couple goals shit within your storyline, is that y'all are both these insane lyricists from battle rap. Like, I'm sure some people, like, I think Nicki Minaj, when you, when she got ethered, she-thered, was like, oh, Papu's right for you. Because that's the easy layup thing. First of all, I challenge most of y'all at home to name a female rapper that has not been accused of having ghostwriter. I will wait. It's never happened. Every single one of them. Even Safari. Where he. Broke up with Nicki Minaj was, went on, I think, Hot 97 or some place. It was like, oh, I, you know, I wrote this and that, or I was helping her write what. Girl, you had a couple ad libs that that lady graciously gave you. So you probably have a writing credit or two. There is absolutely no way that you wrote lyrics for that lady that rapped better than you. I believe the ghostwriting rumors are what really got, that's what really set Reminisce off. And she said, okay. I think I'm. Working on an album anyway. Let me just go ahead and get to it. She went on the radio. She dropped this YFL song. WYFL. I'm sorry. For what? Why are you fucking lying? It's originally a song by Crash Dummy, funnily enough. And say funnily? I just did. And DJ Mac over there. It's what you feel like, which is funny enough. It's kind of the same thing meaning I'm really not even going to like, you can peruse all of your favorite lyrics if you'd like to within the record. Two of mine are, I only have two that I really would like to highlight. Clarissa's, um, how you talking out your neck when I know how your naked neck work. Insanity. In. I mean, and I saw some niggas being like, uh, technically he's still your nigga cause y'all not divorced yet. And then the other line was how the nerve of niggas saying that they wrote those hits when their whole career, they never ghost wrote shit. Not for me or anybody else. You always acting like you helping nigga go help yourself. And that's the exact same shit that y'all said. To safari, which is like, girl, if you help this lady write anything, then why does your music suck? Papoose. I can't think of a song of note that you've released since like the touch it remix. And I know that I'm just out of touch, but I know that's also because nothing has really moved enough over there. For it to have come across my timeline. If you go roast, if you go roast, if you ghost wrote all of these, right? 90% of the shit that came out this lady's mouth, including hit records of hers, like conceded and shit that why don't you have a record? And why are you trying to get Clarissa Shields a rat? You're obsessed and you're sad. God bless. That's really it. Great song, Remy. Congrats, girl. You chewed them niggas up. I really believe that this is the beginning of some shit. Like, I think that she just has a, I think it's probably like the first single or a bus single for some shit. But I listen to this song now every single day, Remy. Thank you so much. Battle rappers, step to the front, please. Like all of the people, if you, I just need this energy in my hip hop music. I need this energy. In the rap music. Thank you so much for bringing this to the table. 5 million views in 24 hours or some shit like that. It's still climbing. I don't know what Papu's supposed to do here. Because I feel like it would be ridiculous to not respond. But how are you going to respond to your wife that just ate you? Please don't send Clarissa to the booth. Please, please, please don't send Clarissa to the booth. Whatever you do, please, please don't. Because even if you write something for her, she'll still eat her. And then what? In fact, ask her to come out of the booth. Appreciate it. Love you so much. She out here trying to sing love songs to you. I'm so worried about that lady because he got separated from Remy, what, 2024? He just filed for divorce last year. I don't understand why y'all be thinking y'all going to keep these niggas. I don't. Cardi, I don't know why Stefan Diggs was at this show. And then I just, I would like, I wanted to say this is trolling. He was there, his mom was there, brothers was there. They're out there jamming the bodega baddie and shit. I think this is in, yeah, this is in DC. Then there's footage of her leaving, like, I guess, an after party after the show. He walks out, I guess, first. Gets in, it seems like he must get into this, like, white car. And then she walks out. Looks like she goes to see him. She goes to say something. She goes up to, like, the driver's side of the car. And she's saying something into the car. And it looks like she might have got in the car after that. I don't know. But they're already making rumors that they're going to cut. That they've done, got back together, which wouldn't gag me. It would maybe just disappoint. Yeah, it's very possible they never broke up. And everybody just assumed they did because she unfollowed him on Instagram or whatever. But, yeah, bitches take a long time to stop. Fucking with they baby daddy. This is actually extremely on brand for her. So, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Unfollowing people on Instagram is. i don't know why y'all act like it's an organ girl listen yeah just can you just like end the tour at least first before we have to do this again probably not lapel came outside with her pies you had little kim coming out there and walked down the the fucking runway like she beyonce just pumping blood out of the stage let's let's get through the program i would love that so much king harris was just arrested on drug charges damn while wearing a pikachu onesie oh this is fantastic now i did say the other day when we talked about his absolutely excellent roast of 50 cent on this diss record behind his mama i did say that king would likely get into trouble quite like this not long after and that it should not take away from the power that was this 20 year old 21 year old nigga dissing this 50 year old nigga expertly and getting away with it well here we are in today of things police put his black ass over because he was speeding they said he had a weed vape in a car and a gun on a dash so how did you get him to step out of the car because gun he he apparently didn't want to step out of the car at first eventually he did they put him in cuffs put him back in the car he's looked and sounded odd to me did not notice a pikachu onesie at all wish i did that would have been funny oh my god he really is wearing a pikachu onesie hmm well nintendo will probably be filing lawsuit after that too they are incredibly funny litigious they don't play about their little animal children i think i'm gonna name my next dog i can't decide if i want to name the next dog zelda or kirby zelda makes sense because duh well i don't like zelda that like i don't like the game too much i think i just wanted to name them name my dog's nintendo characters anyhow king um his daddy showed up after this duh question them about it and i think that he was released not so long after that and so she like fucked the police or whatever on instagram yeah um oh he also apparently threatened to sleep with his arresting officer's wife so he's doing a great job oh jesus christ boy can't roof these kids at all god damn ah you should have been arrested for driving a cyber truck honestly those cars are so fucking hideous every time i see one i'm just like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so going to jail immediately for you but yeah i don't know why they drive them it's really hideous they're so fucking ugly all of them i saw somebody driving one the other day and i hope that they didn't buy it like this but it was like all over army fatigue color like green i was like did you wrap a cyber truck yeah they did they absolutely did i have to go go what it looks like inside because i've never cared and in the worst possible print yuck right it's ugly it wasn't even like yeah you didn't even get a barbie pink or whatever oh my god that lady probably has a pink cyber truck oh wait she'd have to have money yeah that's not really uh she's she's starting a rap academy in 30 days so you know i wouldn't guess that she has cash on hand for something like a cyber truck but yeah yeah they're they're already the worst cars and y'all just make them worse or so the damn king i wanted to root for you after you chewed up 50 cent like that these just look like a car inside with the tesla ipad wait i mean i guess like the um you know what okay it just clicked for me because i have these cars you like batman yeah i want to feel like a superhero yeah okay that's stupid and i love love superheroes i don't need a batmobile i don't need a batmobile well because now that i see through the like windshield it's like oh this looks like iron man's suit or whatever but the outside of it looks like if you cut a a pepsi can in half and then i don't know make some like artisanal belt buckles or whatever with it right i mean at least the batmobile is like well designed it's actually a cute car yeah this thing is really horrendous like asking a child to peel a potato and they just end up cutting off giant chunks of it that is such a good compare hideous it genuinely looks like that like cassava oh lord bless it ugly extremely oh this says there's a batmobile wrap for the cyber truck see somebody thought of it y'all are lames this is why you only see men driving those at least like the tesla uh the regular tasla the when i see it although you immediately know it's tesla when you look at it it looks like it's trying to look like a sports car or at least a regular car why this does scream elon musk though yeah they're so ugly and i believe someone in this neighborhood has one because i see one a lot and every time i see one i'm like at least the windows are really dark so we can't see who to look at it's like i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm so embarrassed like yeah but when you park it somewhere i would roast you i would laugh out loud every single time you step out of that in our garage or whatever if i saw you you would you'd hate me also is there anybody that owns a cyber truck that didn't vote for donald trump no or they didn't vote at all it's one or the other yeah yeah yeah offset has returned to uh performing on stage he was seen at a big concert a few days ago um he was brought out to

YouTube! Just feels like Coachella should warrant a little bit more polish and. Airplay. I don't want to bring up that Creole woman, but Jesus Christ, imagine Beyonce had been like, hold on, y'all, let me Google my top hits right quick and put together a playlist or whatever. Like, y'all would still be dragging the fuck out of her. So I did see, I didn't see the rest of his performance because I genuinely didn't care, not even to stay up and stream it for free. I legit did not care. So, but I saw the next day trending all over the place. The only reason I knew about it is because I was going out that night. I went over to like a pregame thing and them niggas were watching Coachella. And I walked in and literally took me a couple seconds because I was like, who is that? I can't see his hood on. I had no idea who it was. And someone was like, oh, it's Justin Bieber. And then he sat on this stool and he opened a MacBook and he started playing Baby, Baby, Baby on YouTube. And we could see the YouTube. It wasn't even like, just like, it wasn't like an embedded video. It was YouTube.com slash Justin Bieber TV or whatever. And I remember saying out loud. I think most of us kind of touched and agreed to the point that you just made. When it's a woman, even rappers, they go out there, they have bells and whistles on the stage. They have. choreography whether they can dance or they cannot they have multiple dancers they have pyrotechnics they have a roller coaster like a woman could never just come out on stage with some sweatpants and a tank top and just walk back and forth or sit down literally not any woman would have been able to get away with that even the ones who can't right like summer walker could fully go sit her ass down and just sing summer we know you don't want to be there and i actually that was my thought do you want to be here i'm not sure that you justin bieber actually want to be on this stage right now right yeah but the girls were like well offset oh pretty much all the north america money so he better get out there and start blowing i saw a video of katie perry watching justin bieber and she was like i'm just glad he has youtube premium because i'm not trying to see no ads i did see i heard the believers were pissed but it like i mean yeah didn't lie could you that would have been so fierce if there was like an ad for giardia insert like if if just all of a sudden in the middle of of one of his top hits where he had that ellen degeneres that swoop bang all of a sudden there was like an ad for prize picks yeah but by accident right oh that would have been so fierce whatever having a technical difficulty a mess i'm pretty sure he's doing it again this weekend so maybe the youtube portion will be out but yeah i doubt it i doubt it to your point it seems like the baby doll does not want to really be there but maybe she also has has money to make it's hard on you for everybody maybe some of y'all would be surprised maybe he's plenty rich and if not that baby mamas oh yeah oh right there's coin in the home completely forgot that that girl's maiden name but she came from somebody rich so oh yeah oh right right right that's what she is right so she's she's fine it's it's rich people broke not regular people broke and i don't even know if it necessarily has to be do you want to be here because again i could think of probably off the top of my head five niggas right now singing included mm-hmm who would have done the exact same thing and it would have been fine yeah that's true at least when i went out there and half saw frank ocean he had on a bubble coat but he had like a cool stage cool stage with niggas in lab coats walking around whatever i remember there was stuff going on yeah something for y'all to look at this yes this nigga stopped at the same staples as poosh iced tea and said you'll have anything i could sit on he signed the contract you gotta be out there offset apparently owes a hundred thousand dollars to a casino in detroit too why yeah it's addiction yeah speaking of uh justin bieber and and being on stage couldn't help but think of your theory that perhaps he wanted to box up usher because of of you know contract money yeah maybe that's why he was on stage in his galoshes on the flip side of things ushers going on tour with chris brown they haven't announced a joint tour i think they're calling it r and b raymond and brown but the streets are calling it b and b bumps and bruises oh i also saw being referred to as the predator oh boy um it's right now i'm not sure if it's right or wrong i'm not sure if it's rough out here on the promo side the marketing is crucial oh yeah this is actually where usher and i part ways this is it for me and it has been yes it has been it really yikes uh long time coming the ditty shit the the russell simmons shit the russell simmons shit was wild that sexual not i don't even think it was sexual exalt unless that's what giving somebody herpes is considered remember that girl sued or something and y'all were like she's fat ain't no way usher fucked her and it was like oh my god that was so that was really that was just very ignorant of y'all you don't you think because that man is anyway uh so it's been like i've been slowly building up to this point with usher raymond and ditty was bad enough uh but i tried to give some grace you know like this man groomed him from a young age and victim mindset and all this but going on tour would beat him down brown is is really inexcusable like there's just no way i cannot reframe that in my mind to make it make sense and so yeah this is it for me i'm glad i saw him before he ruined his reputation in my mind because he does put on a great show but it's zero percent chance i'm giving chris brown even one thin dime of my money so yeah usher just don't care about aligning himself with fuck niggas and that leads me to believe that he's also a fuck nigga but regardless you know you don't need my money so you won't be getting it i just will not support this it looks like it's it's uh a misdemeanor classified as intentionally transmitting an infection got you okay oh there's a trailer and the birds are very excited oh they sharpen um yeah like i'm that's what i'm saying or that's what i'm thinking because i'm also like wow usher okay cool um at the same time chris brown's uh last word was doing huge numbers it's no secret that lots of celebrities still love him and and support him and shit yeah so not only does usher not give a fuck what we think he's probably ready to have a blast yeah and paying attention to niggas who are ready to have a blast with them you know similar to my statement about niggas who are like yeah push i still go back to prison with you i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna be praying for y'all as well yeah because this is a long ass tour and watch it you know if it don't sell out it'll be damn near like it's gonna be packed yeah it's gonna do numbers if you were disappointed at the bitches at the kanye show prepare your heart and mind to be even sadder because and i mean it's june through the rest of the year these niggas are gonna be touring and they're going everywhere all over the country every major city and some small ones too so you can just prepare yourself they are going everywhere multiple days of course so like do they have okay let me look at the dates because i didn't even bother i was just like it's june 26th through december 11th i said not you but of course you actually really didn't surprise me they really didn't no it was just more like damn i really gotta let you go like i really have to let you go bro i cannot support like you are now officially yeah you really really are yikes i want to see where they're going so we'll also partner partner with global citizen oh sure why not that that doesn't have to mean anything photo shoots jesus they're going everywhere glendale wow okay tampa yeah these are both these are american i was well yeah this is the american leg right i'm sure well there's so many countries chris brown probably can't even get into so let's just keep it domestic where we don't have any rules about behavior and uh the way you have to act in order to make money here so he sold out south africa two days in a row there you go like and what i believe is the biggest stadium in the world let me look people just they do not care i really have had to come to terms with it like chris brown got a massive list it don't even have to just be rihanna there's a long long and i did this at a live show a couple years ago reading off a list of all the shit chris brown has done since the rihanna incident and people just do not care so okay like i can't stop y'all obviously and i'm not gonna drive myself crazy trying to do it i'm just not gonna go and i'm gonna call y'all birds it's the biggest and i'm gonna call you a fucking bird it's the biggest stadium in africa excuse my flub okay but yeah two days in a row that bitch was sold out 94 736 yeah he will be touring abroad yeah with this this raymond and bruises and if r kelly was out they would have him on the tour too did you hear k michelle said that she was in a relationship with him yeah and that she has deep love for him that she was in love with him that did not surprise or disappoint yeah yeah i said wow you chirping too like first of all i hate to watch any clip of that man what's his name justin james jason lee yes i hate to watch anything to do with that somebody but he asked her has she was she has she ever slept with r kelly and she was like oh yeah like okay so that's why you was doing all that advocating and making excuses and all this shit tried to clean it up this time and she was like you know robert was there wrong for some of the stuff he did but you got to hold the mothers accountable and all the wah-wah-wah all that um what happened to that girl but yeah it was actually deeply pathetic because then she started talking about how she was desperately deeply in love with that man and wanted him so bad and he didn't give one shit about her other than how she motivated him to write music and jason jason lee asked her if she had written him a letter in jail and she was like you're trying to be shady like you're trying to be funny and he looked like he didn't know what she meant and i'm like that's obviously she thought you were referencing the fact that that nigga can't read but anyway damn pen shell like i i'm sorry i don't even think jason lee was thinking about it like that that's what i would have meant i would have definitely been trying to be shady like did you write him a letter did you put it in big block letters and and have somebody help him sound it out but yeah she she another one man he added to the giant fucking pile of bird bitches ready to do any fucking thing for a man see but you would have delivered it in a way that would have been funny and clear would have been that i was clear that it was right exactly he genuinely meant it damn yeah i did damn that is funny why would you tell us that you didn't know that you didn't know that you didn't know that is so funny i just don't know why you would tell us that he was so deeply in love or you were so deeply in love and he was just like oh yeah she here as well like you could have kept that to yourself i wouldn't have admitted to knowing him well you can't get away from it at this point because there's so many people who are upset with you for being aligned with that man so you basically just confirmed what everybody already suspected and if they asked me if i ever had sex with him i would have did like megan when she first when she was first asked oh yeah no i'm lying why would i ever i'm lying oh i'm lying through my fucking teeth because who got the proof i'm lying hard and i don't care i don't owe y'all the truth about my fucking pussy no i'm lying my under oath i am lying that should be on a shirt i don't hear the truth about my pussy i don't this ain't community that is fucking merch bitch that is merch so that bitch said you're always acting like you're helping nigger go help yourself i know that he was like because i think that the large portion of this is from papoose and is hurt i waited this bitch we were i thought we were equally yoked i don't understand how we've gotten to this place now i'm outside and so i'm gonna i'm gonna find me a bitch who's obsessed with me the way that i want someone to be obsessed with me yeah and i'm a lie yeah and it was like he finally stepped out i was like girl you're gonna shut up and you're gonna shut up now and then clarissa i said it the , the bright side of things for clarissa is that at least once she over there punching the heiress practice so okay all right you know there's some give and take there because man did she line you up like a fresh haircut jesus but you've been so they've been talking a lot of shit about me yeah and she has she woke up yeah and you know she she responded in a way that i wish more rappers would respond which is in the fucking studio so i and and if you're watching this video and you're was it sounded incredible i just papoose had to go find somebody younger and frankly more foolish in order to to align themselves with him in this way so hoes be doing the most over so so dead remy said she had better dick and i saw i saw somebody on youtube who was like okay i see how it go he wasn't even negative he's gonna be a jokey joke but he was like see now it's so so now it's so so but back then all right all right all right remy let me i see we being petty and i was like girl that was her husband yeah that was supposed to be her forever nigga now let's tap in and we ask these ladies how many motherfuckers that they're loving locked in with that give them okay all right i'll take it it's not terrible but yeah yeah and and the girlies be attached so i did see this where clarissa had a ring on and she was like ring on my finger no ring on your finger engaged and then yes because somebody asked pap about it he was like absolutely not that is not no damn engagement ring you you're lying no he was on uh vlad tv and he was like uh no we bought each other christmas gifts and valentine's day and all that but not a ring he said absolutely not that's humiliating why couldn't he lie sometimes lies are damn girl damn because what also like why are you flashing a ring at me bitch he's filing for divorce from me after i left him i've been had a ring i don't want it no more what why are you trying to yandy smith me that is so embarrassing and then he was like no i'm not marrying a bitch i just gave her a present engage fuck no no we've had presents but like let's be for real meanwhile i'm not even divorced his nostrils were so wide open for remy that he exchanged vows with her while she was still locked up so i mean you were in like probably sixth grade at that time so you might not remember but damn girl i would be embarrassed oh fuck fuck and that's how she posted some shit after the song came out she was like it's one of those meme quotes they said something like uh throwing shade from the gutter must be a good thing to say that's how she posted some shit after the song came out she was like it's one of those meme quotes they said something like uh throwing shade from the gutter must be a wild experience simultaneously she's posting a chain or something that she got from lemon pepper over at zeus because i guess she's working on a show oh god so so madam shields big mama shields the gutter you're about to have a program run alongside natalie nunn's face and jocelyn hernandez's ass speaking of the hood speaking of the fucking gutter girly do not get more gutter than zeus network so this high horse where is it coming from i hate when i see beautiful powerful women same just yeah absorbed yeah into nigginess that isn't like if you are going to be obsessing over a nigga let it be a nigga of your ilk like you're you're a young woman an amazing talent that's why you keep asking this lady like you keep saying oh i'll fight you oh get in the ring with me this that and the third you chris was right maybe it's a sixth grade of this because if you were more aware you would know that that lady's not fighting anybody the i think she reminded you of that on the side she's not wrapping her ass off over a crazy beat too like i just the girls have got to stop acting like this behind niggas that don't even you you flashing a ring on instagram and and papoose is being asked about and he like fuck no i ain't engaged to her and and yet you crashing out every other day behind this nigga girl and then here go his wife that ben left his mother fucking ass like i don't know why you're speaking to me that niggas dick is okay i also know what his head is like why are you and i don't want either of them anymore and i've been quiet with you bitches but now he's trying to act like hero music for me ho write music for you and do it quickly because this rapping that i'm doing right now yeah yeah it gave this before i met you it did it gave it's giving this after it gave this during what did you write so why are the verses still good because you certainly didn't write this make it make sense if you made me then make another me bitch i'm gonna do that let's see it i'll wait i'm gonna do that let's see it i'll wait we've had to tell you this we've had to we've had to tell you this we've had to we've had to tell you this we've had to say this say this say this over megan this was said for nikki over megan this was said for nikki over megan this was said for nikki they said this to matthew and all they said this to matthew and all they said this to matthew and all just going ahead and push you know just going ahead and push you know just going ahead and push you know it's cute it's cute it's cute oh push it i'm so i'm sure that they oh push it i'm so i'm sure that they oh push it i'm so i'm sure that they like like like critiqued each other's sure music they're They're both huge battle rappers, amazing lyricists. I'm sure they listen to each other's music and like this one oh this is fire Beyonce and Jay Z listen to each other you know if one of them makes music they're probably gonna let the other one listen to it duh but 90% I think Clarissa was in the room and I mean why wouldn't she be you know what I mean yeah cause why else would you say it is like you know niggas just start they get to exaggerating and feeling themselves and wanting to put their dick on the table and not look weak or whatever in front of their girl and you just let all kind of lies and fallacies come out your mouth and now here we are I hope y'all listen to this and decide to leave that lady alone why don't y'all focus on y'all relationships since y'all so happy why don't y'all just focus on each other she posted some shit like a day or two ago and she was like something like I'm trying real hard not to stir the pot or every day I gotta convince myself not to start stirring the pot that's what he said you've been stirring the pot one star one star right what you mean you've been doing a horrible job of holding back this was you holding back you talk about that lady all the time every week on this fucking show all the time you're doing a horrible job very bad job at controlling yourself and like when this goes up in the air girl and it will yeah yuck yuck to all my sisters out there I halfway said this on the new pod about y'all with ugly niggas but this is a bigger problem with that ugly niggas fine niggas are they worth it Jesus are they worth it Jesus are they worth it Jesus no never it's going to be a further autopsy learn something from this alright we're back and it's time for the letters yes it is send your questions to asktheread at gmail.com we may read them aloud on the show we have an update this week from Frances if you'll remember Frances emailed us because her mom decided to come see her in Atlanta even though she told her not to when she told her mom to turn around and take her black ass back home and so Frances said hey y'all I cannot believe you read my letter I haven't laughed this hard at myself in a long time so thank you I appreciate the advice you gave I do have the tendency to close myself off from others when I'm going through a rough time so I guess I can try being around people and see how that goes even if my boundaries were crossed I understand that my mom and sister love me and were just concerned my sister happened to be arriving in town within an hour of my mom's arrival so my mom stayed with my sister in her hotel room that night the next day she took her two hour shuttle back home before leaving town my mom sent a text asking you really not going to let me see you this morning before I leave I responded with do you understand why I'm upset and she said never mind a few days later my mom and sister just started texting me like nothing happened so I just joined on in and we acted like everything was normal I've suspected I might be neurodivergent for a little while so this situation gave me the final push I needed to get tested and evaluated $1300 and multiple tests later I found out that I have both ADHD and autism never in my 37 years of living has anyone even suggested that I might be neurodivergent so I am still a little bit floored apparently women of color are severely underdiagnosed for multiple reasons including economic hurdles and our tendency to mask our neurodivergent traits extremely well I told my mom and sister about my diagnosis and while they were visibly shocked after a few seconds my mom started to shake her head and she said you know what that make a lot of sense moms and it just happens to you I don't even think you make the decision to be the mom before you wow that makes a lot of sense it's powerful they've been nothing but lovely and supportive about the whole situation and I love them two bits to all the weird black folks out there I'm not saying that all of us are neurodivergent but if you've wondered about it it may be worth looking into thanks again Frances P.S. can't wait to see y'all at your anniversary show congrats love you guys Frances I'm glad it worked out with your family glad you got a diagnosis I you know it's a little the whole we just gonna kinda brush past it and pretend like didn't nothing happen is a little problematic but I'll let y'all have that I'm going to let y'all have that I'm glad you're happy and that you have found out some things about yourself that maybe are affecting the way you interact with others so good luck moving forward shout out to the to the point of you know pushing other specifically black women to go and check it out because you hit some some things on the head talking about it as another reason we say that therapy for black people should be free really should should be part of our reparations actually but I mean we deserve but yes good luck babe this letter actually ties right in with our listener letters it comes from Kelly who said my mom texted me and my brother asking if we could buy her Usher and Chris Brown tickets for her birthday I love my mother and she has done a lot for us she sacrifices a lot for me and my brother and she always has for our entire lives I even got a lot of my musical taste from her so normally when she asks us to do things for her I usually want to but sometimes I can't do to my financial situation which living in New York City for nine years will do to you it's very true the problem is that I hate Chris Brown I've hated him since the Rihanna situation his frequent violence towards women and all of his music sounding the same does not help I forgot about the fact girl you could have just skipped this part you could have skipped this part and just went girl I don't like Usher also just came out as a ditty sympathizer so it's chopped for him as well my mom is hurt though because she feels like it shouldn't be about how I feel about it it should be about making her happy she also mentioned that if the tickets are expensive we can use Klarna or Affirm for them but the entire concept of using Klarna for Chris Brown is so ridiculous to me that it is laughable put it put me in the ground instead right I the tickets haven't gone on sale yet but I'm starting to feel bad should I let my hatred for Chris Brown and Usher's action stop my mom from enjoying the show my brother and I would both be paying for it so I do feel like we should have some say I don't know if this is oldest daughter guilt but I'm kind of feeling guilty my mom is an older millennial and works really hard so she deserves to enjoy herself as much as she can but I just can't see myself paying money to Chris Brown what would y'all do in this situation thanks Kelly Kelly if you got it this far into the episode I think yeah I think you see you know where we're going should your hatred for Chris Brown stop you from letting your mother enjoy the show yes yes it should stop yeah it should your mother I could tell that your mother was an older millennial because Usher there was no other reason right you're a mother that wants to go to this concert let's be for real um yet and still uh even the Chris Brown of it here we are with Usher today so like um I think it's actually it's actually wild and it is another example of mother just happening to you I guess because how you pretty much my age and you like say some shit like it shouldn't be about how you feel about Chris Brown then you'll pay for it how the fuck it's not supposed to be about how I feel while you asking me for money for you to go it's it's girl ask your mama to get on Klarna for it imagine imagine Crystal imagine walking down to Klarna Boulevard and asking them to help you fund Chris Brown tickets for your mammy can I give y'all $40 every two weeks for the next year and a half so that my mama can go see country Chris Brown fuck no what if these tickets are like $500 shit girl at minimum like this is not going to be cheap this is going to be expensive at all so yeah you know you're gonna have to break bank for that lady to watch it with binoculars right right the nosebleeds are gonna be high I really believe it I do so I think I think the furthest I would be willing to go is like me and my brother get together and be like okay for Mother's Day we are going to pay your electric bill and get you a gas there it is there it is and so that should free up some of your income there it is for you to go on down to your firm and ask them niggas about some you know for Mother's Day we will pay half your car note or something you know something like that but my money directly going to them niggas is it's a no and if that pisses you off or that's not good enough then you find a way to go to the show and pay for it yourself then sister why don't i also buy you a cyber truck driver yeah why don't we get some mega hats along with it and some some free r kelly t-shirts like girl no fuck i'm not doing it i'm that it shouldn't be about how you feel about it is insane my the way where my money goes my feelings shouldn't have anything to do with how i spend my money is everyone all right are we is there a gas leak around this bitch if if you are if your man beat your ass and went to jail for it and then you asked me for 400 to bail him out do you think i might feelings about where the money is going shouldn't influence whether i give it to you are you well i mean so like i said the the most i'll be willing to do is help take some of your financial burden off of like your household expenses so that you can use your money how you want to and i would literally only do that because you're my mother who has sacrificed a lot for me and i love you what did she say the name was kelly kelly that is it i don't think he can get better advice than that that was salty mama do you know what we will do because we're never we're never funding your trip to to bumps and bruises it's not gonna so what we can do yeah is carry some other shit over here for you so that maybe you can coin it yourself if there is an argument to that she don't want to go that bad she does not want to go because how can you argue with me about this you see the shit these niggas have done why do you want to go because now we really finna argue why do you want to go thank you why no now let's get down to the real me oh you don't feel like you should have to defend your taste in music or whatever fine i don't feel like i should have to defend not wanting to give my money to horrible niggas why is this confusing like what why are we talking about like if this bitch was if he was going on tour like smoky robinson that'd be like okay all right you're you're like i'm only expecting your generation to really be on the fence right right i'm not doing it an older millennial why do you want to go and you know she's not alone so many people do so that's true you can go she just has kids go but if you you better you better pray he come into your city because if he not then you're gonna have to look at flight or driving and hotel and all that other shit which is additional cost obviously but the tickets are not going to be cheap so hopefully me and my brother going in on your grocery bill or whatever hopefully that helps out but no i'm not buying the ticket for you no because i also saw the media socials talking about um i guess it's going to be a road trip here like i i guess we're doing road trips this summer babes are y'all so yeah and gas is still $15 it is it is and flights are so much worse so guess what so yeah you better hope raymond and brown are stopping down the block babe figure it out babe because i'm paying one bill terrence is paying one bill that is that and i'm putting that money in your mother's day card so that you understand it's going both ways thank you mother's day is around the corner thank you thank you thank you that is wild does she want to go to this fucking concert or want her kids to pay for it and then try to like no dog them about not wanting to pay for it not even just because like oh it's expensive which should be enough right if you hit your kid and you want to go right see i don't know you want to go see adele yeah and they're like we can't the money's it's too expensive whatever yeah trying to be like well it shouldn't be how you feel about it why can't you do this for your mother i would tell you to go lay down on the ladies long i live in new york city i live in new york city i live in new york city do you understand the the price you pay for things is cheaper than the price i pay for things and that's everything groceries rent everything little small shit allergy pill dollar pizza is five dollars now yeah you can't even get dollar slices no more i'm like back in my day you used to eat you used to be able to eat in new york city for two dollars crystal you used to be able to take five dollars of vanessa's and get you a whole meal and have change bitch you don't okay i'm old melanie would walk from from the first reed studio and stop yes yes yes down there in the financial less than five dollars delicious when i was working at mtv and was broke most of the time all the dollar pizza shops over there by time square i literally would scrape together four quarters and go eat like four quarters so yeah lunch so yeah you know you could you could be going to see somebody you could be asking for ray tickets and i don't have money for you to go see ray but for niggas i hate i have money for me to get right i mean i am going to see ray actually i did break down and buy the ticket of course that's gonna be one of the best shows i fucking have to see this show and then of course somebody dm'd me after that and was like oh i work for radio city i could have got you the ticket for way cheaper i'm like fuck but anyway you know i'm going i'm going next time you got to remember to give it some time yeah stay on the show and give it 72 hours to see if to see if somebody come through for me but yeah imagine seeing imagine seeing chris brown and usher on your credit card statement and being disgusted like i don't want to i don't want to die and get to the pearly gates and have to answer for that not not to mention you spent that 750 dollars on an abusive tour you also have to go no here are all the things i could have yeah that's 750 dollars on that yeah in this expensive ass city right i could have ubered for a month oh no girl i'm not doing it just a month oh yeah just one month and maybe not even enough for the whole month but right i could have done so my own bills i have my own bills mommy everything is expensive so yeah surprise breaking news if this compromise not good enough then i guess you don't want to go girl there i can't think of a better compromise yeah uh good luck kelly our next letter comes from b who says i'm a 32 year old black gay man and i'm in a relationship with a 39 year old black gay man for the last year a couple of weeks ago he told me that my gift giving felt like love bombing that really caught me off guard because i do enjoy giving gifts but it hasn't been excessive and since the year started i've only given him a gift for valentine's day and a dozen roses which which is what prompted his comment even though i was surprised i tried to stay open and hear him out he explained that in past relationships partners would give him gifts when things weren't going well as a way to smooth things over i asked if things between us were okay and he said yes so i followed up by asking how those past experiences applied to our relationship and he really didn't have an answer as we kept talking he said i'm a 32 year old black gay man and i'm in a it seemed like he realized that he may have been projecting those past experiences onto me in our relationship and spoke without fully thinking it through he apologized and we moved on but his comment has stuck with me now i feel turned off from giving him gifts all together his birthday is coming up and i don't feel motivated to give him a goddamn thing to make matters more complicated after that conversation he bought me something that i had mentioned wanting and i received a letter from him saying i'm a 32 year old black gay man and i'm in a with a petty little comment when i received it i know that wasn't the best reaction but i'm still feeling irritated i don't want to hold a grudge but his comment really rubbed me the wrong way and i'm not sure how to move on please help sincerely be yeah yeah so b b and and bay needs a little couch crystal because first of all i'm not entirely sure why it's his love bombing it's it's not this okay thank you it's not two gifts in four and a half months but also y'all have been together for over a year and love bombing happens shortly after you meet and someone is like overwhelming this new relationship with lots of affection and grand gestures and i just bought tickets for us to go to paris tomorrow pack your things and ah it's over the top stuff early in the relationship somebody like a year in a nigga buying you a dozen roses out of nowhere is not love bombing like your man should have looked up what love bombing was before he even said that and this is part of the problem with therapy terms making it to the mainstream and getting distilled to where they make you because that's just not what that is but thank you but you know y'all talked about it he realized he was wrong but now you're irritated that is so funny okay, fuck your birthday to you. So you're feeling petty about it. Which I understand, but yeah, you're going to have to find a way to either let go of this grudge or let go of this relationship. And I don't know that that's necessarily the healthiest thing to do. Because, yeah, this sounds like it could be worth working through. Yeah. I mean, I thought we were going to have to be like, okay, he needs to maybe talk to somebody about what's like deflecting or projecting or whatever. But it sounds like y'all spoke and he was like, oh yeah, maybe I am fucking tripping. And he was still upset. So I'm thinking, is it possible that, like what could be the depth of him, of you, like taking offense to love bombing and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, because I feel like in my head, if we talked about it and he was like, okay, yeah, I think I was tripping. I think I would take it as, okay, this nigga was not prepared for me to be as affectionate or romantic or giving as I still am. He wasn't prepared for me to love him so much. Oh, we're talking about exes. Okay. I don't know that I would still, hold on to it. So this gives me both of y'all need the couch because now you're like, well, I'm not giving this nigga nothing for his birthday. I don't give a fuck what he gives me. Since I'm love bombing your bitch ass. Shit. So there's a lot of reasons why you may have taken that to heart. And honestly, I can see how it would have pissed me off for multiple reasons. Using love bombing incorrectly. Yeah. You know, love bombing. Having the nerve to bring that up when all I did was buy your bitch ass some flowers. Like I get it. I think, um, I think you're going to, I think you're going to have to make a, a real decision to let it go. Like I forgive you for pissing me off. I forgive you for, I forgive you for projecting them other niggas and they shit onto me. I didn't, I didn't deserve that. This has caused a rift. And the same way y'all had to talk it through and he had to realize he was wrong. I would come to him and say, you know, I've really been feeling a way that you accused me of love bombing, which didn't make sense for multiple reasons. Like, and I'm having trouble letting it go. And, um, talking about it with a friend might help. If you have friends who have good sense, don't ask your crash out friend. Who's never been in a long time relationship, you know, ask somebody who, who, you know, that's what we all want to ask. Yeah. First, you know, that's what they want to ask. Don't ask the bitch who's going to immediately jump to break up with him. Ask somebody who, who knows how to, who's had experience with working through issues in a relationship. Of course, if you have a therapist, um, I would obviously, um, suggest reaching out to them, but you, you might need to talk to your man about him being like, I'm just having trouble letting it go. And it really sounds like forgiveness is at the root of it, even though it sounds like forgive for what it's very offensive that somebody would accuse you of being manipulative or, or, you know, deceitful in some way when all you were trying to do is express emotion and, and care for this person. Like it is understandable that that would make you feel a way, but forgiveness is, is huge here. So you may have to consciously let it go. I was going to say, yeah, maybe when you do speak with a friend or something, you can pick at specifically what is still a body. You can pick what is bothering you about it so that when you do talk to him, it can be clear. But I wouldn't be surprised if it is whether conscious or subconscious. If it is like, did this thing accuse me of like trying to manipulate him and to stay with me or like him that does, it doesn't make sense for that to still at least be in the back of your mind looking at you. Right. Cause like, damn, I bought you a dozen roses. Like what happened to, what happened to thank you, baby? This is so sweet. I really appreciate it. Oh, like what? That's wild. So yeah, B, but it sounds like your man is a reasonable person. Like he can admit when he's wrong. He can admit when he's overstepped. So I would, I would definitely talk to him about the fact that you're having these lingering feelings, journal about it, talk to somebody you trust, et cetera, et cetera. And you know, just look up different tactics for deliberately trying to forgive someone. There's a little bit of that. There's a lot of information on the, um, on the internet about that, but yeah, I think that's what you need here. Cause feeling so pissed that you're contemplating not getting him anything for his birthday. Let's me know this is hitting you in a deeper place. Oh yeah. Yeah. Fuck that nigga's birth. Right. His teeth. Right. It is. So, but I get it. I do too. Um, good luck, babe. Our last letter comes from Marie who says, I've been going to therapy for a couple of years now, but I recently switched therapists because I felt like I needed a change. I wanted someone who could give it to me. Ron uncut really helped me with my self-love journey and push me forward in my process of healing. I'm hardheaded, but I've also been dealing with the biggest manipulative covert narcissistic bitch in the world for the past three years. This new therapist is way different from my old one. She's an older Caribbean lady and she does not play any games. The first couple of sessions, she told me that dealing with this man was my fault. I'm insecure and I need to love myself more. Although those things were shocking to hear, I can see that point of view and it does ring true in some capacity, but our last session really left me heartbroken. Since I cut that toxic man out of my life in January and started seeing this new therapist in March, I've been trying to recover and pour into myself. I'm still going through waves of sadness and feeling abandoned along with so many others, but I'm still going through waves of sadness and feeling abandoned along with so many others, supposed to be a sense of relief. Do you think it would be best for me to stick with this therapist? Is it common for you to leave therapy feeling worse than you did when you started? Thanks, Marie. Oh, Jesus Christ. It is common to leave therapy feeling worse than you did when you started, but not because your therapist dragged the fuck out of you and made you feel like a bad person. You're supposed to be feeling bad because you're digging through some new things. But this is why when people say, I want a therapist who will really just give it to me straight and be hard on me and all this, that to me is always a sign that what you actually need is a giant well of compassion and care, more than anything, and you just don't know it. You think tough love is what you need. Somebody just needs to yell at you so you can get your dumb ass up and get your shit together. But you probably. You probably had a lifetime of tough love, which isn't loving at all. You've probably had years and years of that, and it doesn't help. It actually just provokes feelings of shame and self-hatred and depression and things like that. Like, what most of us need is to have love and compassion and care and encouragement poured into ourselves. That's what we're missing. We're not missing the people being mean and trying to drag us by our asses and force us to do. We're not missing the people being mean and trying to drag us by our asses and force us to do better. We don't lack that. We don't lack that. We have plenty of that. We've said this before. Yeah. So, you know, it sounds like you were with a therapist before who was maybe gentler and gave you more of this unconditional positive regard, and you were like, this pussy bitch. You being too sweet, and you might have even thought, oh, this is taking too long. It'll, you know, therapy. Yes. I'll get through this faster if somebody will just be realer with me. That's not how healing works. Exactly. It is not. Thank you. You can't bully yourself into loving yourself more and treating yourself with more kindness. It does not work in the long term. I wish it did. Same. Because then we would not need therapy. I would have never needed therapy if that worked. I would just like to get to 102, 103. Like, no. No. Sorry. 100% agree. I think, especially since someone who has older caribbean people in my family i'm not shocked however uh i don't i also don't think it's it's helpful for your therapist to drag you i don't think therapy is meant to be boot camp it is it is not i've had more than one therapist two dedicated uh psychiatrists um other forms of therapy none of them have ever been like girl you're insecure and you're broken from your your family trauma and girl get your shit together and start even if those things are true or rooted in truth the way that it is expressed to me the way that it is shared with me is not uh harsh it isn't inconsiderate it's not condescending you it often you can help me out here i feel like a lot of the time i'm kind of walked that way rather than pushed i'm kind of like i feel like my doctors will will kind of it's almost like if i have blindfolds on and and i'm doing like what is this shit called hotter cold warmer hotter oh yeah that that game where you move around and they're telling you yeah yeah yeah yeah it's more to me it's more like i'm kind of like i'm kind of like i'm kind of like i'm like i'm kind of like i'm kind of like i'm kind of like therapy is kind of like that where they're helping me unpack and figure out they're not unpacking for me they're not yelling at me to clean my room uh it's more so like okay is this these linens okay pull this up with you well where do these go okay very joy at the end of inside out too yes yes exactly what if we okay yeah i i agree that you and i'll speak for myself i i would love to make huge leaps through therapy and some issues and trauma sometimes um but if my therapist was like bitch it just would not work right i would either feel ashamed or uh my feelings would be hurt and i might just be like i don't want to do therapy which is the worst right possible decision i do agree though i i call as far as like the feeling bad or feeling worse after therapy i've called it uh emotional exfoliation and that was one time when my psychiatrist out here in la was like i think you had a good idea um yeah it's sometimes you you talk about shit that sucks that's traumatic that's um that's very deeply embedded in you you talk about things that you've ignored you talk about things that you have put off because you don't want to think about and all those things are heavy a lot of those things hurt and talking about it unpacking it regardless of how you do it with this person is often going to leave you feeling a little raw a little um you know you're bringing all this muck up to the up to the top but the therapist's job is to kind of help you clean that up and without shame and without all of these other things that aren't helpful in the process of it so kudos to you and i'll see you next time kudos to you for just being like i think i need some other kind of help and maybe it it uh maybe it was in your benefit that you met one of my aunties they they gave you a different experience so you could know what works for you and what doesn't yes um good luck babe this is you know this is not indicative of all older therapists or all caribbean therapists i'm sure some older caribbean therapist is like god damn it why would it be it just had to be uh one of my sisters but yeah you know this is um just not the way to get people into a long-term habit of making good decisions so this is why when people talk about you know they want tough love or they want a therapist that will be harsh with them i'm like i know what you are i know what you are someone who's a were discarded or not cared about or somebody who has felt that way consistently over your life because you feel like you need to be bullied into healing and that just don't it just doesn't make sense babe but um good luck to you in moving forward i don't think this therapist is the right fit for you so i would suggest you maybe go back to the drawing board find somebody else or maybe even hit up your other therapist the one you had before i just don't want y'all to forget that um therapy is not necessarily supposed to be like a quick process some people are in therapy for years and years for a very good reason because you've been through a lot of shit and it takes time i actually there was one client i had in my internship where i really fucked up because i started seeing her i did um like a few months before graduation and i was like damn i don't have much time with her let me fast track this oh you told me yes and so after like one or two sessions i was like okay girl uh here go your problems that nigga that nigga your job your mama blah blah blah and not that i wasn't incorrect i wasn't incorrect but when you hit people like that at up front without having established a relationship or really yeah because like i was like you know let's we got to fast i don't have a lot of time right never saw her again never saw her again she switched to somebody else and this was a intense conversation that i had to have with my supervisor who was like what made you think right would you not i mean this is a mistake for a student to make but it is something i learned firsthand that like if my therapist who i'm sure clocked a bunch of shit about me within the first month of seeing me if she had laid it all out for me like that i would have never gone back to see that would have been like this bitch don't know me who are you talking to you're not ready for that you have to get to a place where you ready for somebody to um kind of work walk you through those things and it's it is a process so please allow the process to unfold you're trying to rush it and the elevator to good mental health is broken you have to take the stairs to paraphrase work jennifer lewis um but good luck to you rooting for you babe that is going to wrap up the letters this week if you have a question for us send it to ask the read at gmail.com we're going to take a quick break and then we'll be right back we are back folks out in the world uh it's time for the read and i will start i'm gonna try and rip through these one it's all the super devout american christians catholics who voted for garfield mouth ha ha with an additional ha you all were just oh he's doing god's work and he's just a man of the cloth and our good god our savior jesus christ sent us donald trump to and now this nigga got ai photos of him as god and jesus christ and y'all are like well um well i don't know about that but um and he's like trying to beef with the pope i could not believe this shit this was on my list the pope nigga okay i'll just move on haha um next this one's for legos so lego i've been trying that like you you've really uh give me like a new pastime new little calm de-stressor i've been really leaning back into my legos and i've gotten new ones that i'm really excited to put together i have one you can't see it that's the whole i don't know if you can see it but it's the whole i don't office from the office i think i'm gonna do that one maybe this weekend well one i've been working on for the past couple of days is uh like a marvel it looks like the marvel logo and then it has some of the characters that can like sit in it or some shit but i was like oh that's a pretty easy one to display it's just a big block that looks like the marvel logo i'm like yeah i didn't know that it wasn't accustomed to um you know the tears of the kingdom style lego building that we have here where you think it's going to be simple but in fact you have to make a vehicle a car um bikes and all of that didn't have a problem with that i actually had a really really great time um putting together we're going to put together the like 11 lego bags that come in the box got up to bag 10 and i mean at that point all i really had to do after that was just put some of the other letters on the front and i got to a piece that wasn't fitting quite right and i said you know it's happened a couple of times okay quick fix i have to just plug a couple things off oh here's the problem this one was an issue that was so far back in the building process that i essentially had to take the whole thing apart and start now i will say that i give myself a lot of uh grace and a lot of uh i'm gonna give myself a paddle on the back for my uh temperament there because a couple years ago i would have taken that lego set that was i think 85 done and i probably would have chucked it into the ground like i just won the football championship i think they call that the super bowl and and then i would have just felt flames on the sides of my face burning heaving breaths instead i calmly use a little weird orange lever that comes in the boxes i took the thing apart i didn't talk i i started by ripping pieces chunks of it off and then i was like okay you're being childish and you're probably gonna break it and don't let this mistake break you that took place in making a toy take you to that level even though you're having a great time almost done and it is absolutely the fault of that shitty guidebook why didn't you just tell us that we should download the app why didn't you just tell us to download the app it shouldn't be there's a guidebook in it or you can use the lego builder app use a lego builder app why the fuck would all of us have to download all the pages it's like you need a piece that needs to fit over on here on this side so let's put that side on the far side of the page and you can't really see if it's the right piece because you can't turn it but you can do that on the app like at this point do i have to be alpha and you and make y'all zordon do i need to be jarvis do i need to be alexa because it feels like i can't just read pages i can't press buttons i can't turn pages without being at a at a disadvantage and now when i do use your apps i have to do it with ai it was the tiniest thing it was just this one little piece that was backwards and i was like okay i just move this move that move this everything's already lumped together lego i am on your asses and by that i mean i'm not going to do anything about it i'm going to finish making the thing and i'm going to use the app this time but i'm pissed i am pissed i was sucking my teeth so many times that poor link went under the couch because i think she thought i was mad at her and but she has associated me teeth sucking at me just being upset there's so many times where i have had to go link i'm not talking to you link you're fine come here i'm sucking my teeth because i'm looking at this photo of chris brown and i was sitting next to each other looking like two giddy dummies lego pissed pissed now i know not to use if i do get one of these fucking lego sets that has a pulley system and and a conveyor belt and all that shit i have to a use the app and b be wide open sober no wine and legos i guess because bitch and i'm looking at those lego one piece sets i have to have one i need my chopper i need the the going mary i need the little one piece live action lego sets after i do the office one and finish the marvel one speaking of one piece megan estelle has a popeyes and it's in miami of course she does well it's in some miami beach um that ain't got nothing to do with us okay now she has a popeyes on miami beach they are um i guess they're doing this new one piece collab which is amazing that oda was like yeah sure the little chicken place can have some one piece merch part of the she shot it off on tiktok or on instagram you get like there's a chicken that comes in a cool treasure chest um there's a chopper cupcake and there's a gum gum lemonade named after the gum gum fruit from one piece bubble fruit that luffy eats that makes them all stretchy when she took a sip to say what it was taste what it tastes like i was like not bubble gum not bubble gum not bubble gum not bubble gum because a bubble gum flavored things are disgusting and b why would the gum gum fruit taste like bubble gum it's a fruit and and she said it did taste like berry oh okay but also berry gum and i was like well yeah well and on top of that if i really want to be nerdy megan you and i both know that devil fruit all taste nasty they're all bad they all taste horrible everybody knows that it should have been like a gum gum mezcal but i guess you can't do that at papa yeah right they're supposed to taste bad got it okay devil fruit all give you superpowers but they taste horrible so i was like i know they're obviously not gonna make a lemonade that tastes right or any drink that tastes right i don't make no damn sense but please don't tell me it tastes like gum well and even she when she was sipping it was giving uh the britney broski where she was like i don't know how it's good but i don't know how to describe it oh okay i still want to try it because it's megan it really sits on a beautiful intersection for me bad bitches chicken miami beach and nerd shit so when i'm back home i will begrudgingly uh cross the bridge and try to taste uh the i mean i guess i would have to go soon then i got that one piece in there that long oh well i'll think about it or imagine how it tastes or maybe i'll get on it and i'll try to on tiktok like crystal and i'll just i could do that after this look i could do that after this and look at what y'all are saying about the gum gum they made it's why bubble gum why couldn't it just taste like fruit why couldn't you write back the sprite remix oh yeah bring back sprite a time oh god that was a time yummy too good you know what maybe there was like a secret bill i was just like this sugary deadly beverage is too delicious because not only is it gonna kill our children it's gonna kill us too because i keep sneaking their damn sprite remixes out the whole house just babies if you didn't get to experience the sprite remix i am so sorry that was a fucking time see if you can find you something on ebay um don't do that i mean they'll do that it's pop it'd probably take 30 years to go bad what is it even you know sugar and water the kids are online buying like candies from the 1920s i mean like let's see what it tastes like and they get rushed to the emergency room that reminds me of trixie mattel buying a old ass easy bake oven from like the 60s yes and she baked the classic she used the cake mix from the 60s from the city and then was like oh my stomach hurts this is in case right yeah babe you're eating 50 year old cake don't eat that bitch um okay i have a few this week oh let's just start with the trans shit dave chappelle hmm did an interview with um why i think mprs are maybe well so he's talking now about how the republican party took all of his trans jokes and made it like a political thing and made it like he was supporting the republicans and their shit and he went on capitol hill and he was taking pictures with people and then lauren bobert asked for a picture and he didn't want to say no and he said i didn't know the phrase i respectfully declined which you're fucking dave chappelle you can just say i don't want to take a picture with you you weird bitch but whatever um so he took the picture and then she posted it and was like this is just two people who understand that like there are only two genders and so he's like you know i shouldn't even have to address all this because the republicans took everything i said about trans people and made it weird and it's like first of all the things you said about trans people were weird in and of themselves so i don't know if that's true but i don't know if that's true but i don't know if that's true but i don't know if that's true but i don't know if that's true but i they didn't have to stretch that far to turn it into dave chappelle is transphobic because you can't make those jokes and not be trans without it being punching down on trans people you don't get to mock them in that way and you like this isn't a difficult concept to understand so turning around now and being like well i just feel like is i i resent how the republican party took everything i did and weaponized it bitch you gave them the knife you mad that they used it to stab you literally handed these niggas the bazooka and now you're like i can't believe y'all shut up that school bitch you made it so easy for them and so that's one then here come caitlin jenner bitch ass on the she went on the tommy lauren podcast talking about how she was a hypocrite for accepting the glamour woman of the year award remember when glamour gave her that woman of the year yes and which ties into dave chappelle who was like how this bitch get woman of the right so it's like anyway anyway a transphobic trans person is really a fucking mess but um for for you to be transphobic trans and to have this massive of a platform and basically be willing to kick the ladder down for every other bitch like you not the most visible person and caitlin jenner is really a fucking wreck but she was she was on this tommy lauren podcast talking about how you know of course she does not want to protect the lgbtq community of course she doesn't she's part of it but protect them bitches no she wanted to protect women because why are biological men in women's sports and so eventually i was just like wow i'm really a hypocrite because i'm fighting this battle but when i came out i accepted the glamour woman of the year award and you know so then she kind of contradicted herself she was like i'm still x y biologically i mean she said i'm still x y biologically i'm female but genetically i'm still x y there's nothing i can do about it and i'm fine with it which is just like uh i don't know that those words work in the way you think that they do like if you're trying to say that you have a pussy installed like i would have just said it that way instead of being like biologically i'm female genetically i'm x y like that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense but girl what are you talking about your chromosomes like why does it have to be that deep because you're because you insist on being the worst possible trans person that's why because because you you know and she even said when i came out in 2015 i only had good in my heart you know i thought oh trans people are all such a marginalized group and i've been feeling this way since i was a little kid but unfortunately the left took it and they kind of ran with it and turned me into like this trans icon so she's literally saying that she's not a trans person the same thing as dave chapelle but about the other party like i i came out and then here come all these people talking about i deserve to be respected and telling people to use my pronouns and and the the fucking libtards just turned it into a some social justice like bitch because it's not just about you you dizzy dizzy bitch you are not the only trans person like you you you had an opportunity to advocate for the larger community that does not have your platform that does not have your resources or your visibility or your the protection that your whiteness affords you they don't have your safety all of this shit they don't you can still caitlin general walk into the white house and shake trump's hand and nobody is talking about what a terrible disgusting disgrace of a person you are like that is how much not to your face well right that but that is how much your your previous identity and all of the things that you have because of what you were able to accomplish that is how much that protects you and yet you thought hmm the rest of y'all who gives a shit being like well i came out and then the left just took my issue and ran with it yeah yeah girl because we thought maybe you coming out as trans meant you would say or do something to protect the other trans people who don't have what you have but that would require you to be a for your money and i think at this point we all know that you're not that right you can go fuck yourself last but not least megan good now i really shouldn't expect much from a bitch who married jonathan majors and i know that but she was on um the picture this podcast with that girl jonica who uh from um yes yes she hosts that um it's a isa ray produced show yes so she talked about megan good went on this show and talked about how jonica asked her what's something you thought you couldn't live without but actually you could she was like oh um my cat i had to get rid of my little cat his name is bam bam and so she goes on to talk about she goes on to talk about how jonathan majors had two dogs and so you know he's bringing his two dogs into the relationship with her cat and then they got a third dog together and apparently this is where bam bam was like bitch you've crossed the line like it's one thing to bring that nigga in here it's another thing to bring them two filthy beasts in here to add a third insult to injury so bam bam started pissing in the bed angry instead of figuring out a way for all of the animals to coexist maybe working with bam bam or you know maybe even thinking about the reality of everything's changing we're moving or these people are moving into our home new animals are here a man who smells like domestic abuse is in here like maybe having some understanding and empathy for what your cat is going through she simply gave the cat up rehomed it to somebody else was like yeah i thought i couldn't live without my kitty because you know he's my baby and i i'm gonna miss him and i really want him here and he's my own little kitty cat you know but we had a puppy and i'm gonna miss him and the other dogs and so i just couldn't do it and so then jonica's like oh so you chose the new puppy over bam bam and megan's like no i chose my man okay well you didn't say jonathan hated the cat you didn't say jonathan insisted the cat you know go to hell or whatever um but i also don't even really care about the details of that i would rather be single for the rest of my life than give up laney and i mean that with my whole fucking heart and soul i'm not giving up my daughter we're going to have to figure it out if i meet somebody who has animals we're going to have to figure out a way for all of us to coexist or we're gonna have to maintain separate homes or i'm gonna have to be with somebody else i'm not giving up my baby especially without even trying to find a way to make all of this work you that far up jonathan major's ass he already had two dogs you didn't think damn maybe we should give these three animals some time to figure out how to coexist with each other before we bring yet another dog into the situation like where was the thought or care or consideration for your fucking cat bam bam is pissing on the bed because you brought this man into the house hello ding ding ding that's a sign if laney started hissing and shitting all over the floor because i'm dating somebody and this person is now in the house guess what guess what i'm gonna take that extremely seriously because laney is a fucking sweetheart laney's never met anybody she didn't like and i do mean anybody she loves every breathing thing so don't you told you about cat beat sure well yes but that was my brother's fault my brother antagonized that cat yeah and then the cat took it out on me it was like whichever one of one of you niggas getting your ass i don't give a fuck she was like the third dog is what really pushed bam bam over the edge so why not give up the one dog you just got instead of the cat is it because jonathan majors wanted the dog jonathan majors didn't want a cat so you siding with the abuser in multiple ways i'd rather slit my own wrists than give up laney because a nigga who is a horrible fucking person doesn't want my cat in the house no more no i'll be damned you sound like me no and i mean it over that nigga over that nigga that nigga does he even work does he even work like does he even does he even have a job yes the idea that i would give up my baby that i gave birth to you that i would abandon the child that i birthed because she don't like a nigga i'll get rid of the nigga and his dogs before i get rid of laney are you fucking kidding you didn't deserve that cat when i when i was little and before i had my first pet i think maybe it was after it doesn't matter when i was a kid i i wanted a cat at some point and i had a dog i guess but my dad was like we are not getting a cat specifically i'll never forget that my dad said you know what cat piss smells like i was like no but he grew up with cats um they had cats and dogs and all kinds of stuff but he was very firm about not having a cat because he was like that you're yeah it's like it's unlike anything yeah you've experienced and i don't want it anywhere near me so i was like i guess we can have a cat i'd rather so bam bam going like let me tell you yeah another it's too much it's honestly too much the man was bad the dogs are worse bringing in another dog is where i draw the goddamn line megan and instead of paying attention to that you said well let's just did you ever love the fucking cat did you give one shit about the cat i i would rather live in a different house from my spouse i would literally rather have a completely separate residence than get rid of laney god if if ever i'm able that's what i want regarding my cat dog parakeet you have yourself i knew megan good was a bird but you gave up your fuck girl if if if taylor swift fans knew who you were they would be irate oh right i was like wait if white people knew who megan good was they would be tearing her up like they did dolce at least dolce didn't rehome a fucking cat you gave up she was kidding i mean halfway right it was a good joke right not something as terrible like you just i you know lord please keep me from whatever bird brain ass police would have me choosing a nigga and and new dogs over my fucking dog my baby who i love with my whole heart who i flew home i was supposed to go from atlanta to dc i went from atlanta back to new york for 18 hours just so i just so laney wouldn't have to spend four days in a row at the border just so i could pick her up for that one day and she could sleep at home and then i dropped her ass off the very next morning so i could fly to dc you i can't imagine you didn't deserve bam bam bam bam wherever you are i hope you with some people who value you who would never give you up so that a convicted domestic. abuser and his dogs could move into the house with you like i hope you're with people who really cherish you and will care for you for the rest of your days and that's another thing they don't even live as long as we do they don't even live as long as we do like you don't even get that much time with them in the grand scheme of things why would i give up my baby for a man i wish it would be that link lives as long as me same and i don't even want to talk about it much more no and because she also came out of my yeah and i think about this all the time like if somebody asked me you know you press this button and a random person dies but laney lives as long as you do would you press it and i really have to think about that i think the answer is no i think i would rather just deal with the grief of losing her than the guilt over killing a random innocent person but if i could choose the person who dies 100 i would do it and i mean without thinking twice if this isn't a horror movie i'm absolutely pressing any person on the world girl y'all niggas die every day but if it's a horror movie you know the get you gotcha is that i press the button it's your mama or something right right with you so it's like both of y'all die right then i'll do it right that's exactly what it would be but it's like if you press this button then something terrible will happen to whoever's in the white house right now yeah okay all right all right p how many times can i press it give up my daughter you're in you didn't deserve that cat in the first fucking place girl i'm really disgusted i can't help but think that again my my dad both my parents they were not like close or affectionate with their pets and they had many oh yeah but they also call the dog's dog and the cat's puss so why they kept away intruders and vernon and that was their they had a purpose yeah yeah so much though that they thought like domesticating and loving on pets and wanting the dog to be indoors was american yeah like they they they were like oh you're so americanized because you want to name the dog and let it live in the house and you know what and we and that's fine and that's fine this wasn't some this this wasn't a guard cat it was his job wasn't to live outside and protect your property about my mom and daddy right exactly exactly that's a totally different thing what megan good had was a domesticated cat who was supposed to be kept as a companion and a pet and you gave it up for me and you clarified no it wasn't because the dogs and we didn't want to do you i i chose the man that man can lie yuck there's a couple of people this week could have lied i saw i saw a tiktok of somebody jim with a jamaican mama and they just got a cat and they brought the cat over to meet that mama and the mama looking down and then she smiled and she said me grand puss so when you just said that that they called a cat puss that made me think of that i i am speechless there's so many things about that that's just shocking yeah yeah grand puss is insane our elders are the best in i have to tell my mother yeah in fact i'm gonna go look for this yeah it'll probably come grand puss is the grand puss so funny and then you're saying it with that accent so many you're welcome you're welcome i've been i'm really good at accents so i mean you sound like my cousin oh that is it
