The Truth Within Red Lights

Welcome back, niggas, friends, others. To the show, I'm inspect the debt. And I am Betnaja Laney Hamilton. And this is the read. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Indeed. Here we are. Middle of August. I think it's still Leo season. So, the voucher system. Yeah, it's there's for a while. And then come the real divas of the zodiac. Oh, yeah. It's about to get it sufferable. Let's get our program started. Going to drag Earth Earth day. Although, y'all don't seem to mind. Bless your hearts. This week in black, excellent. We're gonna give honor to one doctor, Monica Baskin, Monica L. Baskin, to be in fact, she is just been named the first black woman to lead an NCI National Cancer Institute designated cancer center. And I think one of nine women in total. Wow. Yeah, nine women currently serving as directors of comprehensive cancer centers in the country. Baskin's a nationally recognized health equity researcher and population scientist. She's been working incredibly hard. Throughout her career, cancer prevention, engagement within the community, health equity, as we mentioned, she's done extensive research on behavioral social and environmental factors. Okay. Effect screening treatment, survivor, shit, and that particularly in rural and medically undeserved underserved. I mean, knew that one didn't make sense. underserved communities. Oh, yes, I see her dad died of cancer. So damn, yeah, maybe that this means the motivation. Yeah, it went and tapped right into my heart, because I think my grimy. And so yeah, any black faces, particularly black women in the field, uh, working to prevent it. Means a lot to many, including me, so shout out to, uh, Dr. Abaskin of Richmond, Virginia. She's going to be the next director of VCU, Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center. So go give her in Virginia, VA. However, y'all want to be referred to as Nick as I listen to this. Um, give him some love and some congratulations. She begins on August 3rd, which is past already. So clap clap. Ooh, I see she went to Emory and Georgia State. Yeah, it's work, Miss girl Emory. That's good school. I'm very good school. All right, Miss girl. Congratulations. Let's get into our hot topics this week. I'm going to start by another story that I actually saw because then we can. Mattel's making a Whitney Houston Barbie doll. Wow. Have you seen it? I thought it was fake at first. I was like, no way. I want to dance with somebody Whitney. Yeah. And I'm just going to say, um, folks, I will close line you and Rebecca. And that's just what you can understand. I don't know. It's so that I can't find it and I can't find the angel Reese Barbie doll either. That one is also gone. Like goddamn, y'all really snatched them all up. I even checked target. I said, Lord, forgive me, but target didn't have none either. I said, wow. Wow, wow, wow. Okay. So this is how we doing. All right. And the worst part about it is people are going to take this $60 barbie. And I'm sure it's already up at $300. Oh yeah. Absolutely. It is. And that's where you can tuck in both my titties and put them in your face, bitch. I'm not doing it. This is what I'm saying. I'm not doing with a retail price for that angel Reese Barbie is $35. I am not paying 10 times that for a toy that I would also never even fucking open. I would just sit and look at it. Like I'm not doing it, girl. There's the Alia Barbie. There's the share from Kula's Barbie. There's the Esa Ray Barbie behind me. Oh yeah. I got them all the Halley Bailey. I have the Halley Bailey. Some years ago, Barbie sent us a bunch of dolls, like just like the, I don't know, Mae Jemisin doll or something like that. Like it was a few different ones. I'm like, oh yeah. I'm keeping them and not one of them hose have came out the box. Now not one Halley's out the box. Esa's out the box. But that's because I have the Halley in the box and an Esa. Right. Because you have multiples. Right. That's also discussed the fact that those were purchased at retail. Yes, they were value. Right. Right. But y'all snatched up the angel Reese's and I waited too long for the Whitney Houston because I just knew Niggas was playing too much. And I was like, this is not real. Please leave Chad, she'd be too long. And then by the time I figured out it was really was too late. So I'm sick. I'm sick. I'm sick. I'm fucking sick. Look at the hair. I know. It looks so, no, it looks so good. That Whitney, that I wanted this with somebody doll. I'm like, what, what may y'all even do this now? Like right, right. It just seems so random, but that's why I was like, it can't be real, but fuck man. It is. It's so gorgeous. It's really beautiful. Like it looks like Whitney. It's so good. It literally looks like Whitney. And honestly, in terms of a Barbie dolls hair, this is some of like the nicest hair I've seen on a Barbie in a minute. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's going to be a mess if you actually try to do anything with it, but bitch. Right. Then first 20 minutes, you're going to have the time of your life. The time of your life, girlfriend. Oh, but y'all sold it out. You want to know how good I am? I know how to, I know how to do a Barbie doll hair. Of course you do. Of course you do. It's not that, it's not that different than doing your hair. It's just you probably use ingredients you find under the sink. Right. Rather than hot water in your back, because that's plastic. Of course you know how to do a Barbie hair. Longer detergent. Just a tie. Oh, wow. Then you have to condition. No, I know how to. I have dolls. I have toys. There's probably somebody out there who removes the fake hair from their dolls and gives them real hair. Without somebody does that question. So long as I can do it, personally, they have five million followers. Not only do they do it, they afford their Barbie habit by doing this crazy shit, making little videos. So other people can see they Barbies with 100% yak. Literally. They sell customs because they have to. At that point it would be just spitting at money. Right. Like that person is rich. They are. They are and famous. And I'm glad they found their niche. That's great for them. Me too. I'm just devastated that I didn't get a chance to get this. That's the part broken. Yeah. Dezeased. Oh, and one of my favorite Whitney look. Let's just move on. Oh, it was unveiled at the legacy of love gala. A charity event hosted by the Whitney Houston Legacy Foundation. Okay. Okay. And you know, it's still a time. Y'all y'all snatched it right the fuck up, bro. Damn. I'm listening. Okay. Maybe but tell us now they probably won't make it to another job. Capitalism is capitalism. Yeah, but they call this one a collector's edition. So it just feels like they're probably not going to run back in the in the lab. Is it a collector's edition? If you're allowing people who don't collect shit to sell it for 50 times what you're selling us to, to people who actually do collect them. Is that what's happening? The scalping thing I'm so sick of it. A cross is industries. It is so wretched. And it's actually insane. How many businesses have now been erected in the name of reselling you shit for 300,000 maybe this plastic shit y'all got off Ali Express. Yeah, it's getting bad. But I unfortunately the fact that it is a collector's item just means that that people are gonna be, I'm happy for the Winnie Houston fans and the hardcore Barbie collectors who got their hands on it. But the people who were just looking to write, to hit a lit girl annoying. - They're the same people who go down to like, like Costco and punch 12 girls in the face for Pokemon cards. - Oh, right. (laughing) - Well, like, then people at baseball games that push a kid over to catch the home run. - You know, you will fully see when he's like new popular Pokemon cards collections drop, which challenge of Pokemon cards. - Because I'm sure you was a jit when they were the jigs with Pokemon cards. - Yeah, just what I'm saying. What do you mean Pokemon card? Like the actual physical card, the kids are still buying it. - Yes. - Wow. - They're like, um, baseball cards or any other collectibles. They're still valuable. And she sells them for this set and a third. And then Logan Paul's like, look, I have the one Pikachu that came out of a living Pikachu and that paid $5 billion for it. Whatever. Right. - But these grownups really be at Walmart when the new ones drop. - Basically assaulting one. - I did see something about store employees having to go in and do something with the boxes to keep these weirdos from like weighing them out because apparently the ones with like the special cards were as slightly heavier than the regular ones. So people would take a scale to like fucking Walmart and Target and weigh in out the Pokemon card boxes to decide which ones to buy. So this is actually too much. This is insane. (laughing) - Not only should you not notice. - Oh, it's real. - You should not have the bravery and the confidence you shouldn't have the comfort within. - Mm-hmm. - To go any place with a scale and measure things. - Right, right. Like Komo, oh. I don't know, I guess that I got a lot more. - Measure the grapes at Publix. Measure it, measure it, measure it. Measure it, measure the core bread me. - Yeah. (laughing) Oh no, because why is that? I've saw this on TikTok too, where people like, okay, this butter say it's 112 grams, but then I weigh in this 105. Like. - That's initial. - What's really going on? Where's my shit? No, where's my shit? Y'all are whipped butter? (laughing) - Yeah. - No. (laughing) - Stay with me. - Those sticks of butter are not whipped. - Yeah, I don't know. - Maybe do you think people just won't be like, I'm in a way of the butter? - I'm like, girl, we can tell. The way that this shrink flation shit, yeah. They, they, it's really grimy out here with these companies are doing, but. - Yeah, they got general mills. How else girls, this is quaking. - Oh yeah, everybody's giving you less and charging the same or more. For less. - But everyone else is also like, let me see how many Cheerios are actually in there. - Oh yeah, and niggas are like. - It's that time. - And what I'm going to do is count the Cheerios. - Yeah. - Oh, don't piss me off, general mill. - So, if you get caught in a lie, then what? - Then what? Nushade, I just ate half a box of Honey Nut Cheerios in bed last night to the point where I fell asleep with some of it still in the bowl and luckily woke up. - Oh my God. - And I wasn't completely confident. (laughs) - That was about to suck Cheerio. - Disaster, waiting to happen. - Wow, a Honey Nado. Anyway, you know what is all bad? - Leprosy. And it's alive and well in Florida girl. - 19 cases. - What are you doing? - Of Leprosy, it's no way. - In the state of Florida. In the United States of America. - Okay. - This year, 2026. - Wow. - So, the season finale of Earth has been fierce. - Oh my God, what the hell? - Now, it seems like it's been central and a bit of northeast. But there are two cases in Miami. - Okay. - Miami-Dade County. - Here we go. - Leprosy. Leprosy. - I mean, does this have anything to do with y'all not believing in vaccines or science or anything like that? Like how does Leprosy even show up in your community and an outbreak? I don't even understand how this happens. I thought that died out with the biblical terms. - Right. - Right. - I legit have not heard of this outside of the Bible. Avoid touching our holding armadillas. Do not hurt or eat armadillas. - There it is. - Have y'all been catching and eating wild armadilla? - Oh my God. - It's. - Oh Lord, no. - They'll catch you need iguanas. - Baby, what? - I was gonna say, they will also knock over a truck like a truck of monkeys and then steal them and make their own circuit. - And God only knows, right? What y'all do with them? - So. - Yikes. - I was just, I googled it and the article I pulled up said like how to avoid exposure and the first three are all about avoiding armadillo contact. I'm like, what are y'all doing in Central Florida? For 19 cases, did you serve it at a wedding? Like, oh, okay. All right. All right. I've been out country. - Across the state. - I've been out country. - All right. - I just would literally never grow up. - And so when people are like, oh, you're from Florida, I want you to understand that this has nothing to do with me. It will never have anything to do with me or anybody that I know. - Right. This is not your culture. - It is nowhere near it. - The leprosy is not part of your people and your story. It just isn't. It's not God's plan. - Not anymore. - Not my baby, my baby. This is insane. - This is something that comes up in conversation when my mother calls me on Mondays for weekly devotion. - Gotcha. - We don't, and she said, and by the way, have you heard? (laughing) Leprosy is currently making its way across the great state of Florida. She's a sage. All right, y'all. Don't eat nothing. Had you killed on the street. - Oh, you might as well ask to pry Trump out of their cold red an. - And you notice this Trump's fault. Girl, she was just too high. Y'all can't afford chicken. So, you instead, y'all are scraping with a dilla. - Eat spinach. So they're like, you know what? - Mm-hmm, fuck. - I can't have lettuce. I can't have chicken. - Yeah. - We just go out here and find whatever I can. - We gonna barbecue some dandelion and this armadillo that we found. - Dead. - I'm going up a tee, ho. - Like clearly roadkill. - Yeah, flies and everything. Like just scraping it off, pouring some vinegar on it. Like, that's gonna fix it. Mm-hmm, well, okay, Leprosy. So just one more, New York. What can we do about getting a physical barrier? - Bill, whoa. (laughing) - No, literally. - I mean, build it, my doneny. What are we doing? At least a wall around the New York City. - If you save us on TikTok, you know that my doneny will have the wall built by Sunday. - That man, I'm sorry. He's just so good. He's so good and so happy. And his team responds to the most random shit. And it just makes people happy. Like, somebody did a TikTok at the Brooklyn Museum and was like, Zora, where is my man? And my man's supposed to be right here at the museum so we can go on a date and he not here, like, why don't have a man? And the mayor was like, I got you and posted all of these free events happening across the city in different burrows, like meat cutes where you can go meet somebody for free or low costs. Like just, you know, a paint and paint and sips and just regular shit like that. Stuff you can go do. And it's like, the mayor will take this little fake ass TikTok. You know, like, they respond to real shit. Like somebody in the Bronx was like, oh, it's a big ass pothole in front of my house. And then like three days later that shit was filled. But then they also respond to like little silly fun stuff that just makes the city feel. - Feel them there. - It makes people feel good. It's like, this is, thank you. Yes, actually, where is my husband? And the man is like, hey, you're right. - He's tapped in with us. He's literally listening. He's one of us. - Two of us. - And taking action. Whether it is something very serious to the city. - Right. - Feeling potholes. And trash cans on the street giving people-- - Collecting nine million dollars in taxes from Amazon. Simple shit. - Or being like, fuck that nigga girl. Here, go free, look. - Yes. - Mm-hmm. - The person elected to the seat. - It feels good. - It feels good. - Is listening to and responding to the needs of people in the city. - No. It's almost a ziff. (laughing) - Here we go. - It's almost a ziff. It's possible. It's almost like this is what you're supposed to do. And then here's a person who's like, "Yep, I'll do that." (laughing) It's almost like a real New Yorker who loves the city is good for the city. - Oh, hey! - Hey! - Hey! - Hey! - Oh, hey! - Oh, hey! - Thank you. - Thank you. - Man, dude, this is who the fuck? Does this brown man think that he is coming in here and doing his job and spreading positivity and making people smile? - Right, right. Oh, he got booed on Staten Island. I said, "Baby, that's what's supposed to happen." (laughing) Staten Island not supposed to like you. That's where the Trumpies are. So yeah, they supposed to boo you. You still, they mayor. You still making life better for the ungrateful bitch asses, but yeah, they booed him. - And they're-- - They're supposed to. - They're supposed to. - All the way. - Yeah, no, yeah, please. - Please. - Please. - I'm not doing-- - I'm not doing it. - I'm not doing it. - I'm not doing it. - I'm not doing it. - Anybody does. That's what I said. When you build a wall, don't worry about Staten Island. Let them-- (laughing) We'll have to worry about including them. They can all stay and I'm not even like-- - And all 10 of the niggas on Staten, no exactly what we talking about. So, they get it, they get it. Shout out to my man, my man, my man, my man. I know the rest of y'all jealous. You wish that was your man, you wish that was your man. - No, I literally-- - No, I know. You wish somebody in your city cared about you. - No, I wish that me and I were in a married relationship. - No. - But shout out to his wife. - I was gonna say, you wanna take him away from my first lady. Damn, you're not the only one. You're really not the only one though. I guess that Rama seems nice, great fashion, cool girl, but I will take your man, please keep your eyes on it. - If it were possible. But actually, if I could take your man or if I did, then I wouldn't like it anymore. (laughing) - The fact that you would be with those two are like that, that don't sit right with me. (laughing) - I was living around town though. - Oh my goodness. - Upset. - Like, cheese ear to ear about it. - Yeah. - It's like, what you, where, where, where, where, what, what, what, what, what? Okay, every now and then there's a glimmer, right? - Mm-hmm. - Bottom of the state got leprosy. - Go a little bit higher. - Just a little bit, yeah. - Leprosy, okay. Savannah James spoke about experiencing racial discrimination and profiling at an Hermes, in Italy, I believe, she was at, so we're gonna podcast. Oh, she has a podcast called Question Everything, her friend April McDaniel, and they were talking about being, she said that was she was at Hermes in Italy, an employee refused her service, told her not to touch the bags, so on and so forth, even though she booked an appointment, I had a time. Basically, she said she had, she made one phone call. That person no longer has a job. - Well, yeah, 'cause I mean, I've been, I've been to Europe many times. Them niggas have wifi. And so if a two black women walked into your hoidy, toyy ass store, with an appointment, mind you, and said, "Hey, you know, we're checking in from my appointment." And I were the racist type. I think I would take just one or two minutes to go in the back and Google Savannah James, and then adjust my fucking attitude. Like, you can't be that dedicated to being racist. You can't, you cannot. You can't want to be racist that bad. You cannot, bro. - Here's what I feel like you might have just messed up, right? Because your name, if I were that kind of racist, I would have. And then there's, you know, that's where you mess up. - Oh. - You would have thought to do something sensible? - Yeah. - No, that isn't racist. Racists are just, what center? How can I immediately make you uncomfortable and make you feel unwelcome? - Well, you can't do it from home, bitch. 'Cause you don't have a job anymore, eh? - It's just so, Savannah James is so, so, so wealthy. Anything she wanted in that store she could have had. Like, I'm sure they make commission or something. Right, like, I just don't. - Savannah was like, "Bitch, how many burgers I have?" I'm scared by it, what for the kids? - There's literally a billion there. I've been with this man since I was like 15 years old. We got three folk kids, no prina. - Don't, you don't have to worry about me, baby. The MX is going through. Like, I just cannot fathom being that dedicated to hating black people. - What's? - It is so stupid. It's so stupid. Racism is so boring. It's so late. - Wow. - It's just, it's such a waste of time. It's just so stupid. Oh, don't even think about touching the bear. - "Bitch, how many burgers I touch?" I gotta see, but my pillow's working. Oh, now you're unemployed. - I just hope y'all didn't actually find that. - 'Cause you bought what? - 'Cause wow, wow. Yeah. But then Oprah say the same thing happened to her, and I think that was in Italy too. - Yeah. - Italy said we don't give a fuck. How rich y'all are, right? So, I mean, I know that racism will trump capitalism a lot of the time. It just blows my mind every time. 'Cause how is it that there's anything y'all care more about than money? How can that be? The whole point of this is-- - So Switzerland that happened to help her. - Oh, okay. - That's right. - Well, all right. So, yeah. - But, yeah, same shit. - Oh, Miss James, yeah. Called right up and got somebody. Let me just, girl, next time you'll Google. - I got you. Don't worry about it. You bought. She probably gonna get a custom burger with her fucking face in it. They're just gonna-- Her bag is gonna put a mirror in the box. - Her bag is gonna be like-- - No way. - Yep, and this was our bag. (laughing) What would you like? Would you like some gator? Would you like a little snake? - In fact, we send that bitch to the gallows. No one's harder from sin. No one is hurt from them since. So. - Mm-hmm. The charms on this bag is made out of her teeth. Type shit. (laughing) - Drake did a 20v1. I, it's like I'm, I, I, okay. - Oh, wow, he really did. - I exist. You know, and I'm here and every day is an adventure. So he did this 20v1 thing for YouTube. For those of you all who don't know, because God bless you and I, Spire. 21 is this trend of YouTube and TikTok videos where someone comes in and is met with 22 possible dates, romance, lovers, possible connections. 20 different people and, I guess, hijinks and hilarious, well, so and so. Usually, these are people from regular walks of life, maybe an Instagram influencer, comedian, stream, or something like that. Not one of the most wealthy rappers, celebrities. But Drake said, you know what? I'm with the shits. I like having a good time. Let's do it. Braids are getting longer. Touchin' in the neighborhood. - They are, they're getting longer. They are indeed. Are you adding a little bit? Aubrey, are you adding just a little bit of can't go on? And then, braids. - Just a little, just a little, you know. - That's an extension. - You know, the girl needs to be one hang time. They really do. - I always bust like some bubbles in it on the air. - Please, he is, it's enough. - Wait, has he already done that? - I'm pretty sure he has. This one, like, we don't need to bring that back. We don't need to bring back Drake with the beads. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, little butterfly barrette, so shit, we don't need to bring back. - I don't want to do the rest of this. I don't want to do it. I think we should just end the episode. Because, like, why did it literally just hit me, that, wait a minute, I think he has done it. - He has dressed up like a little girl before. - Yeah. - Okay, so he did the 20v1 thing, right, for shits and gigs. The internet has a great time with that. Again, I think he was just, like, bored, I think, trying to appeal to 23-year-olds as usual. - Yeah. - And it ended with him, I guess, agreeing to give the winner of the 20v1. I guess they asked, like, what would she have wanted from him or something like that, if she could have anything in some shit. and the winning girl who's like an only fans model, very big busty goth white woman, said that she really just wanted a house for her mom and Drake agreed to give her a house for her mom. She used to afterwards say that they've been following through and seems like he's really gonna do it, so. - Well, yeah, just, what does that really mean to Drake? - Right. - Right, the daddy. - This is in Toronto too, that they filmed this, so, he probably was just trying somebody to, the Toronto might just get, right? - They gonna give it to one. I was just gonna say, they're gonna be like, just pay to taxes and you can have it. Which one do you want? (laughing) - Just pick a house. - Which is fierce. - So he did the whole, you know. - I mean, I would love that for the girl who won. Love that. - Right. - Love, love that. (laughing) - Especially if the deed is in they name and not Drake's name or Oveo name. - Yeah, yeah, love that for y'all. - Fears, anyway, the only thing that led me to that is actually something completely unrelated and it was a comment made by Aaron Foster on a podcast on bar stool. And that's where I should have stopped, right? But the headline was way too enticing. - Okay. - So, Aaron Foster in what looks like to be his streamer room, he's got the, you know, glowy blue purple lights in the background and shit, figurines. Much like this. - Yeah. (laughing) - And so he's speaking about handshakes on macro dosing. I don't even really know how this came up because God bless me, I only could watch the clip. But he said, "The firmest handshake he ever got was from aging Peterson." He describes it as a firm strong handshake till you're like, "Okay, you strong bra." So on and so forth. - Nice. - And he's telling the opposite end of that was Drake. He said that he could tell Drake never really like had to really work with his hands before. He said he felt like he went to sleep, maybe like lotion, gloves, no colors. - Oh my God. - This is a very weak handshake. - And it's all work with me here, right? 'Cause I'm like, I don't understand being a human, much as a man. Describing another man's handshake, almost as if I were a sommelier discussing like a bordeaux. - Okay. - Yeah. - Like no calluses, very soft buttery. - And like a lemon. - Right. - Yeah. I mean, of all things, I've this men really have handshakes. Men take handshakes so seriously though. And I don't, I don't know if they young people do, but I'm not shocked that Niggas in the 30s and 40s are talking about like great different men's handshakes. And I'm not surprised that a fellow professional athlete had a stronger grip than Drake. Like yeah, that man actually works out. (laughing) - Drake. (laughing) - Drake is a Charleston. - Right. - What the fuck? - Drake goes to get a BDL or whatever other nips and tusses. - His abs sculpting. - Hi, that man don't exercise. - I'm tattooing. (laughing) - That no bump works. - Okay. - He takes that ozimpic and he goes about his fucking death. - Work dickla. - So yeah. - He's not gonna have a strong grip. You right, he don't do that. (laughing) - You think that man is going around opening jars and home and shit and no. You right, Drake does not do a lot of movement. - Oh. (laughing) - You remember those things that you're gonna use to open a jar and you see them? Where it's like a plastic thing you put over the top and then you would tighten it. - Yes. - Yeah. - Or everything has a pull tab. Or the chef just does it. - Yeah, no. For sure the chef are one of the entourage niggas. He's just like, in his jar pickle. - I agree wholeheartedly that when I first read this, I was like, is Aryan Foster 70 years old? That dude, I'm just a great joy. - My man ain't had no good, he can't marry my daughter. He ain't got no good handshake. - What the fuck care? - What the fuck care is, yeah, but. - Men do, I'm not sure why, but they really don't have any handshake. - About the dumbest shit. It just again to me, it was like, y'all really, really, really are more concerned with being attractive to other men. - Yeah, mm-hmm. - With seeming like what another man would approve of as a man, as a person to just be in yourself. - At your foundation. Like, it really matters to you. - Yeah. - That you are affirmed validated by. - By other men, yes. Nothing matters more than that actually. So. - Lotion gloves was wired though. Like that was a lot, you know what I mean? 'Cause maybe he does go to see put lotion gloves on. - Would that surprise anybody? - No. - Not at all. Drake seems like the type to really care about that. Well, he probably lotions them feet too. He probably, I mean, and honestly, more y'all should be. I'd rather, never mind, never mind. 'Cause all the girls who like say it. - No, 'cause all the girls who like they niggas rough and ashy and uncamble. - Well, we not talking to them bitches. - Overgrown, scraggly toenails and dirty fingernails and shit like that, them bitches meant to come from my neck like, girl, please, you can have your nasty troll swamp of a man. The rest of them, please, a little grooming, it couldn't hurt. It, I'd rather you do too much grooming than too little. - Girl, you get out of bed. Dosey look at you, LAS, you go pick you up the cat. - Okay. - But it's actually your man's toes. - Sorry. (laughs) - And so like, but you know, Drake is like, when I'm, when I'm rubbing a stripper's BBL and I'm reading my latest poems, I need my hands to be solved. - And she like it, I think. - And I think that's, yeah. - So stay mad and stick to those playground paws you're used to, bitch. - Oh, okay. - So there have been rumors going around that one Michael B. Jordan might be dating your girl, baby, right? Because they were spotted at six flags on a rollercoaster together and they had the nerve to be looking like they were having a good time. (laughs) - Now there's also reports that they had gone to like dinner a couple of times. So people thought that they were dating. But now insiders reports to seem like from, one team or both are saying that they're actually working on something together and so they've been hanging out, doing business, so on and so forth. So here's my guess. (laughs) They might, I could believe that they're actually working on something together where they might be love interests and whatever that is. It could be Ray doing a visual album or something like that and he plays her husband or boyfriend or ex or something, Michael, Oscar winner, film director, producer, he could be like, eh, I have this thing. I could believe it is something that they are working together. I wouldn't be surprised if it is something that may be scripted, artistic, where they are, love interests and they're just hanging out to get to know each other. They might not even have the love interest thing. They could just be working on a script, a book, - Yeah. - Whatever. - Soundtrack. - Right, and getting to know each other. Similar, it reminds me of when people were saying that Tiana Taylor and Leonata de Caprio were dating. - Oh yeah, I remember it. - They were going to the club and hanging out and then I think Tiana's team won. Somebody was like, they're doing a movie together. They're shooting it right now. That's all we're going to say. Then you watch the movie. Like, oh yeah, they're fucking in the movie. They have a kid together. Makes sense to be what hang out. - Yes, and if they are dating, cute. - Yeah, that would be cute. They're cute together, but even in the video of them at Six Flags, you know, it's not giving romantic date. It's a bunch of, it looks like the team is with them. Of course, security is there. But like, he dressed like Chance the Rapper. She got on pajamas. So it's-- - That's exactly how I'd want to go on a date with my naked sister. - That's right. That's right. (laughing) - It's just not really giving, you know, romantic date, but when I first heard the story, I hadn't seen the video or pictures anything, and I thought that is so fucking cute. - Right. - That for them, they just seemed like they would be in a adorable couple, so. - I agree. - Yeah, yeah, maybe, you know, maybe they're working together and then something more will come. Who knows? - Who knows? - Who knows, but I would love that for Rachel. God, that I would miss so good. - It has no business being as good as it is. And if you have it, listen, yeah. - You got to do anything. - You should go and do that. Oh yes! Apparently Tina Snow is bad. - Oh, I saw this clip of her own Michelle Obama's podcast. With her French role, I said, girl, you better reach into your bag and pull out the recipes. Come on. (laughing) But you know, you talking to the first lady, so I get it, you know, you gotta be classy time. You know what? - Of course. - We're not pulling out the courtroom Bob for this, you know, we go with it, ah, ah, respectable bitch. - I like this true religion top that she has on. - I can't wait for the man dragging music, yes. It's gonna be a bunch of, you know, you know what, hotties, I was in love and I was good to that nigga, but when a nigga played with you, don't never let a nigga think he could play with you. And I just cannot wait for that. - You know what I say here, kind of. - It's so good, yes, oh, so. - Fuck these niggas, it's what I was raised on, and probably detrimentally, so 'cause I haven't been nice to a man in forever. - Yeah. - And I don't plan on changing that, but, yes, all things considered separate of this. This lady could, she could be a platinum gold lesbian and make music about fuck these niggas, and I will be unpoiled. - Oh yeah, oh yeah, Kalani did the same thing. So yeah, why not? (laughing) - And nobody's gayer than Kalani is, so. - K, one, I'm definitely on the road with Durand Bernard. - Mm-hmm, that's true, that's true, that's so good. - Yes, she ended up act three of her Megan projects. We should kind of hint at that before. I mean, I remember how long it was, but I saw her say something a long ago, like, already for act three hotties, and we were like, yeah, from two Houston bitches. - All right, actually, you and that other one, go get your Creole friends, who are you at it, but. - While you're at it. (laughing) - She posted something, like, said, act three on it a few days ago, like, it was just act three on her back, and then the bitch on back, right, so. - Yeah. - Oh, so. - With the blonde bob. And that's what it goes like, it's gonna snow. Winter is coming. - It's gonna snow. (laughing) - Yeah, I can't wait. I can't wait to hear it, and I agree that I can't wait for her to basically say, here's my soaking wet glitter in. - Yep, mm-hmm. - And you bitches can die. - Just go right ahead and lick it up. - You can't. (laughing) - And you want to, you want it bad. You bitches is straight. And every time I post a picture, you be in my comments, losing your mind. - Mm. (groaning) - You want it to slip? Well, women are gonna get dragged too. - Oh, interesting. Who would that, oh, oh, you mean like some of the rap girls? - Oh yeah. - Oh, are you gonna address the Gloria Hallelujah situation? Ooh. - I just wanna know what. - Anyway. - Yes, I wanna know what happened, I do, yeah. Me too, but it's clear that something happened, something fell off, something changed. You know what, something else that changed? Usher on stage to, some other nigga. - Apparently. - Not you, follow up. - Clips. (laughing) - I just heard about this. I simply think it's funny. - All right, I thought you would believe in it. - No, I just think it's funny. So Usher performed at MetLife for his bumps portion of the tour. And clips from the show came out. I have people believing that Usher was not performing on stage, but in fact, some people saying it's a clone, I think those people are being facetious. - They gotta be, I'm tired of it. They cannot be for real. - But they're comments here on baller alert. They're like, I was at the show and me and my own girls were also like, is that him? - Baller alert. - Yeah, like. - I did not know it was still around, truly. Wow. - Oh yeah, girl. - Usher. - Clone. - Concer. - Now this video, it does not, I can see how you might think that this though, that this isn't Usher. 'Cause. - Oh yeah, this don't really look like him. - It does really look like him. - No, no, you're right, never mind. - I don't think there's a clone. - Well, no, obviously not, but. - But I do think it's possible. He sent out a standing for him at this part of the show. I think he looks similar to him enough that he could pull it off. - Child. - And there is a couple. (laughing) - That is KC. (laughing) - Now, I thought the exact same bagel and I first saw this. - Oh, never mind. This video, that really don't look like him. It don't, sorry. I'll tell you about it. - He responded. And he said, "Y'all are funny. Clone, they can't clone this. "How y'all come up with this? "AI ain't that advanced." - Right, 'cause you weren't cloned. - No, you definitely weren't cloned. And we all know that. - You sent out Brescher to dance for you for that. - And you know what? I'm actually not mad. That's what y'all get for going to this show. I hope you do it again. That is not actually, ah! (laughing) - No, I thought this was bullshit. That is not him. - No, this is not him. - Nega, who is that? - There's one clip I saw where it does look like him. So I don't know if he said, but like, so did you have this stand in like on stand by? Was he like a, what do you call it when in theater where you have somebody who's like on standby in case something happens to the theater when the lead takes a day off? - I almost said back up, that's not it. - No, it's like a understudy, is it understudy? - Yes, but. - I think it was academia. - It's something else. Understudy, standby, alternates. What is the word? - The one I'm word, one I'm used to, but I'm not. And I know people are screaming it right now. - Oh, sure. Well, you know what you're right 'cause different videos. - I'm not gonna be understudy. - Sometimes it does look like him and sometimes it don't. But y'all deserve to get swindled. That's what you get. Don't get swindled. - Don't get swindled. - Like, can you imagine, you all ready or like, I'm going, I'm going. - Oh, you made it so good, Ashley. - I was supposed to have that one last king, girl. But like, bitch, I'm here for Chris. It was like, well, since I'll don't give a fuck about this part, imposter. - This is hilarious. It made me think of who else was accused of this. It was a Jeremiah. Who's years ago? Oh, there's a trace on it. I think it was Jeremiah, who sent somebody out on stage. - But I think Doom actually did do it. - But how would you, I mean, sure. - Right, how would you know? - This nigga felt like he could put on this hat and just pull it down a little bit and keep these glasses on, and then get away with it. This person is not usher, but-- - That man don't have your bottom, the bottom part of your face. He don't have your mouth. And I have looked at your mouth for a long time. Usher, that's not your mouth. But, I mean, what are we going to do? Run some forensics about it? Like, that's what you always get. Don't go down. - I'm just like, dude, y'all really think that he was cloned? - No, you can't believe that. - She's suspicious. - Yeah, that's another grown man, no. - Maybe he, oh, okay. So can you help me with this Caitlin Clark thing? She was suspended. - Hey, her. - Okay, sorry. - She was suspended for a technical foul. She shove a ref. What happened? - So Caitlin says that she, you know, ran into the ref towards the end of the game, but it wasn't deliberate. And so she was hoping they would rescind the tech. And of course, they did. - They sure did. - So that should be available to play the Liberty this week. But, yeah, I, how long did it take until they rescinded it like six hours? - Not even. I don't even think it, right. I don't even think it was six hours. It was the fastest I've ever seen the league response, anything. It was like immediately. Oh, absolutely not. She is playing in that nationally televised game. Do not worry about it. It was not even, you know, niggas didn't even get the chance to go to be it. So, yeah, I'm just. - I just realized that her name, her name has always kind of stuck out to me for a reason. And I guess at first I was like, oh, 'cause it's two C's. Both got A's and L's and there's something. Now I'm like, oh, Catlin Stark. - Oh, okay. - And she kind of looks like Brian. Yeah. Well, I'm just saying it like I'm rewatching Game of Thrones too. Right. Right. Right. Okay. I guess it's been on my mind, but so yeah, no, the league wasn't going to let this in and this just all ties in to. What Dijonet Carrington was saying about the Indian a fever and white privilege, but that's part of my read. Um, for later in this episode, but yeah, that everything to do with that team. At this point, I'm rooting for the Liberty, although they really starting to piss me off. They really started. Do they fire Ellie? Please, please, then bitch, I want to fucking riot in the streets of Brooklyn. Be for real. Ellie is the Liberty. Absolutely not. Right. No, this fuck ass cup. It's part of my read. I'll get to it later. I'm sorry. Yeah. Caitlin. Anyway, I'm rooting for the Liberty. And then I'm rooting for whoever is playing the fever. Just it's literally anybody but the fever at this point between Caitlin, that coach and Sophie cutting him. Just, please leave me out of it. Y'all are ruining the vibes of the WNBA. Okay, that was pretty much it for my hot. I was, oh, look at this fucking flip flop. Did you see these flip flop heels that JT's making with. I can't remember what. JT, her flip, she has like flip flop like thong sand of flip flops, but they're like for the pool. Yeah, like verbal. I think they're cute. A hundred and fifty dollars. I don't know for that. That's it for the hot tops. I'm going to take a break and then we're going to come back with your letters. All right, we're back. Framely. It's time for your list of letters. Indeed, please send your questions to ask the [email protected]. We may read them aloud on the show. We got quite a few. A handful of people asking you about Widow's Bay. Because you mentioned it and they questions around like, do you have any favorite episodes or any moments that stood out to you as a horror fan? This one from AJ says. I'm a huge fan and would love to hear your thoughts. I was so happy you got 19 Emmy Noms because they were also well-deserved and I was like, wait, 19. I haven't finished it. Oh, you haven't. Okay. So maybe you can't really answer the questions about like favorite episodes or. I will catch all up when I do. It's on. It's like the next up on the list. Thankfully, you know, these big prime time premium shows are like 10 episodes except the fucking polygamous. Have you finished that yet? Yes. Okay. You did. Girl. Anyway, that looked ridiculous. I'm sorry. It did. It was a lot of fun. It was so outlandish and ridiculous. And it did look that way. It was. But yeah, I am going to finish this. I've heard nothing about amazing things about it. So. But I also. Yeah. Well, wait for more widow's Bay content. Then our next question comes from Glinda who says hi, Chris link. If you're I'm a 28 year old black woman and I'm married to my husband and we share one child together who is almost two. About four or five years ago, my mother moved to Massachusetts because they have better government assistance to help her get back on her feet quicker. She was incredibly insistent about moving and left my brother and sister behind to figure out shelter for themselves. She said they grow in adults and it was time for her to focus on herself. Cool. During the time that she moved, she would often come up to visit since she could not afford a hotel or Airbnb. She would ask to stay with me and my husband and I never once told her no even when I did not feel like sharing my space or if it wasn't the best time for her to come. I always cleared space for her and my husband cooked anything she asked for. Recently, my husband and I asked my sister if she wanted to rent our third bedroom, the apartment building we live in has become increasingly more expensive and we want to be able to save up money to move. My older sister just so happened to need a place to stay because the room she was renting was going to be unavailable so she agreed and we said a date for her to move in. The same weekend my sister was supposed to move my mom was supposed to be visiting but she canceled and said she no longer had the money to come. This was fine with me because I was already having a lot of anxiety about sharing my space with my sister and how all of this would impact my son. But then the day before my sister's move my mom said she came up with the money and asked if the offer to come still stood. I said absolutely no that was too short of notice and it wasn't enough time for me to figure out how to maneuver everything so that everybody could be in the house. She said okay don't worry about it the next day I called her like I do every Saturday and she had attitudes started to cry and said that she was upset with me because she really wanted to visit that weekend. I told her I was sorry she was upset and then hung up because I felt really triggered. I then sent her a text saying that me saying no was not malicious and I needed to focus on moving my sister in especially since that's what I was preparing to do anyway. I also said in the text that it was hard and isolating to be the youngest of her three children the only one who has their shit together and to always be expected to just do things because I have it. She left me on red and has not spoken to me since. I want to know if I'm in the wrong here I'm hurt because I never tell my mom know and the one time I did she has completely iced me out. We've always had a rocky relationship and I do tend to keep her in my siblings at arms links because I had a really dysfunctional upbringing and a lot of family trauma. I don't know what to do please help Glinda. Mommy issues. You reversed. Well, I think I mean are you in the wrong here? No, your mom. I don't see how you could be she was asking to come visit like for funsies it wasn't like. Can I come see my new grandbaby or whatever like she was just asking to come visit like she always doesn't if you didn't have the space or didn't want her there it's your home you can always say no it you didn't go into detail about the history between you and your mom and your siblings but it does sound very chaotic and messy. And like you would probably rather not be involved with them if it was like fully up to you not her but yeah this no a question. Not in the wrong here and your mom being like well you hurt my feelings so now I'm not going to talk to you is proof of her immaturity like this is just not the way a mature person responds to their own child. Like setting a boundary or saying no for the very first fucking time you know it's like she was starving and asked for a meal like this is. But this is how emotionally immature people behave so. No, I definitely don't think you were wrong here and she just going to have to if it was my mom you just going to have to be met we can just not talk like I'm not backing down on that. You go ahead you have your feelings. I kind of agree not kind of I just agree. I it feels like this is trickier for you because it may be you feeling of like obligation or you know it's like oh this is the family and I'm going to feel. But. Choosing you for the first time can look. I don't know if you have a child they can feel uncomfortable because you're going especially with family especially dealing with older family numbers and God help you. Many of them position themselves in a in your life as. Almost like a convenience like you I know that I can rely on you or I bet be able to rely on you to give me provide me with the things I want. Not just need not even the things that I want without there being a Tesla because I'm a mommy daddy I'm a grandma me on to whatever. And that's not how life works. And so I think that sometimes you find yourself in positions like this where you do say no or you said a boundary it can look. However I think I would yeah say dig deep down into your. self into your spirit and find the part of you that says, oh well. Yeah. Yeah. I think so, Glenda. I think that your mother is going to have to be upset about it. And if, again, because it's not like, hey, I actually need a liver. And I know that you have one at your house. Can I come in yet? Like, if your mother decides to just be pissy about this, for God only knows how long then, yeah, that is a maturity that has not only has nothing to do with you. It's incredibly disappointed and it shouldn't be enabled in any way. Yes, I agree. And I know this is challenge like your 28. That's still fairly young. Um, it sounds like you are only asking your sister to move in for financial reasons that otherwise you would not be bothered because when your mama left, you wasn't like, oh, we got an extra bedroom. Come stay with us. She was like, fuck, no, right. This is my space. I got away from you, Niggas. So, um, I'm going to recommend therapy for you to work through, you know, the dysfunctional upbringing you talked about and the family trauma, but she'll be all right. She will be all right. If she's mad because you said no, you can't come visit the day before we're having somebody move into that room. Like, this is, it was a reasonable thing to say no to her reacting like this is truly her problem. Let it be her problem. Massachusetts can deal with girl. I'm not, I'm not putting up with that. So, right. But best of luck to you, Glenda, because I do know that situation is hard. Okay. Our next letter comes from mother time who says recently, my fiance and I took a trip to Paris in Amsterdam about a month prior to the trip. I was asking him about another trip. He took back in 2022 to Brazil where he and his two friends went to visit his sister. I asked him several times in a joking type of way if he cheated on me during that trip and he kept saying no. I remember that I also asked him that back in 2022 when he got back from the trip and he said no then too. Wait, okay. So she asked in 2022. He said no. She asked again a month before they just took this trip. He said no again. For context to my knowledge or for context to my knowledge, he has never cheated. And I've never really suspected him of doing so. But he is still a man. So, you know, I love when they land on, but he's still a man. Okay. So, back in 2022, when he got back from that Brazil trip, he started bringing up the potential idea of both of us having hall passes to have sex with other people when we travel overseas. Why is she still right? At first, I was a little weirded out because I never thought about having an open relationship. But eventually, I started to consider it. When we went to Amsterdam, we visited the red light district, of course, and we went to see a sex show together. And when we got back to the hotel, he suggested we go back the next night because he wanted to explore more. I told him it was fine for him to go on by himself and that I was even fine with him having sex with somebody in the red light district. As long as he understood that I also have a trip coming up to Spain in a month, and I will potentially doing the same thing. He said, okay. He said he really wanted me to go with him. So, I did. He found a prostitute and he had sex with her. And I was there participating with him, you know, touching on her boobs here and there. As soon as he was done, we got dressed and walked out. And he said, I now feel comfortable enough to confess to you that I actually did pay someone in Brazil for sex when I went on that trip. Men are just, it's like, mind you, this was a time where we were living together very much a couple and very much had a three-year-old daughter at home. Work. I've been getting more and more angry at his betrayal lies. And, of course, this fucking timing of finally telling me the truth. I'm not sure if I should leave him. We just had another baby and I don't want to put my kids through that. This was four years ago and the only time according to him, but I'm just not sure that I can trust him or believe anything he says. I feel so manipulated and bamboozled. If I do leave, I'm not only leaving him, but I'm also leaving the idea of a monochemous relationship or even a relationship where your partner is completely honest with you. I really viewed him as a good guy and sometimes even as a square. And I was sure he'd never cheat on me. I'd even say I settled a little bit because ideally, I would have liked somebody a little taller with a little more swag and a bigger dick, but I thought you're reading him. Just good a guy. He may fall short in some departments, but he's true and honest. Not, what would you both do in this situation? Thanks, mother time. Please, please go. What would I do? Well, this is, it is tricky as far as leaving is concerned. You have two young children, et cetera, et cetera. And it was four years ago blah, blah, blah. Wait, tricky in a sense of like, it's going to require a lot more moving. Yeah, tricky as in, it's going to be harder, more complicated and not just moving co-parenting because you never know how men switch up after a relationship is over. Is he still going to show up as a dad to these kids? Is he showing up as a good dad now, but is he going to be even worse after you leave? Is he going to be petty and try to punish you through the court system with child support and visitation and blah, blah, like it's just a million things to worry about when you have kids. So it is going to be trickier in that regard. And I won't say universally you should leave because somebody cheated. I do think it's a case by case basis. Yeah. On the other hand, this man sounds like a bitch. Like, so waiting for y'all to fuck somebody in Amsterdam to be like, now I can tell you the truth, it's just like, girl. So in this case, yeah, this is a go ahead and leave this bitch situation. I asked you twice about this and you why and you wait until not as we even get back to the house. I mean, the hotel, Airbnb, the country, you tell me when the doors slid us, right? The bitch. Oh, now I feel comfortable. Now you feel comfortable telling me that you cheated on me. Now after I was rubber sunbitches, titties and airgirls, while you were fucking hard is when you felt like, oh, what since I was present to write you fucking and then I can handle you telling me that you lied multiple times. I just, okay. This is why you don't settle. At least if you get your heart broken, let it be by a man you actually wanted. Right. Because now you are here talking about his dick small and he ain't talking and he got halitosis in a club foot and right. And you thought all that was going to make him a good man. Not. Yeah, baby. I tell yourself somebody will never cheat on you. You've already failed. I would leave, but I'm also well, it's never mind. They've been together since 2017. They had a couple of little on and off breakups, but they're engaged now. I don't know that I would immediately break up, but I'm definitely not rushing into marriage. Like I'm not marrying you if I can't trust you. And either we're going back to the states and we're really like both committed to and by both, I mean, mainly the men, but also you. We're both committed to like, you know, working with a couple's counselor or somebody and getting to the root of this, because you can heal from betrayal, but it's going to take work. And if he's not work and if he, in time, yes. And so when you talk about feeling hurt and angry at the betrayal and the lies, and he's not like, it's his reaction. Is he saying, baby, I know I am so sorry. It was so cowardly of me to do it like that. I want to do whatever it takes to fix this relationship because you're the love of my life. And I want us to do this. And then he's proactive about like finding a counselor or finding risk. If you don't have the money for a counselor finding resources online for, you know, well, this is what's worth staying for. If he don't show remorse, if he don't seem contrite, if he don't actually take steps to keep you in his life, if it's just like, oh, yeah, I did it. Are you going to forgive me or not? Girl. 98% right. Like 98% of niggas is going to be like, girl, you over yet or not. And then people are not worth staying with because you cannot repair from it. I told you, I mean, at least I told you I could have been out here lying to you like you were for four fucking years. If you say that to me and then I kill you, I'm going to be right. You don't need me. like I would be wrong. Now I'm in jail. Wow. I'm a coach. I would I just feel like I might have just a wild reaction. Yeah. So you've been insulting me. Don't piss me off. You're right. It's the trust part of it. I do think given the few of the points that you made, right? A, I'm completely glossed over the fact that Niggas will will punish children. Oh, yeah. For their own fucker. Absolutely. It's just like they never wanted them kids and actually always hated the idea of kids. And so now, but they know you love them kids and how can they hurt you by hurting them kids. It's wild that this is the fact that I forgot about. Yeah. Happens all that. There's that. There's the time. I've been together. You know, I always take a breath and people like, Oh, from a family and things like that because the first thing comes to mind is, well, then you're going to raise your kids in a situation with two parents that give off a certain energy because your baby is like 16 months, 18 months. It's just like, oh, well, they don't know. Just don't seem right. Yes. They do. They absolutely know. They can feel they know they observe and you talk anyway. I do think it's ever ever. It does just not. No. But you're right. This could be a thing that they work through. I do think they'll bare minimum we have to separate for how long to be determined. That's up to y'all. But I for sure would not I would have to take time to myself away from you. Now, we stay together. We have a child to children. What I just said, you don't have to get out. I don't know where you're going to go. Right. How my face? You are not staying. You not sleeping in the same bed with me. And I don't know how long it's going to be before I want to look at your face at night and first thing in the fucking morning. So you just prepare yourself for that. Yeah. I could see that I could definitely see taking space physically, emotionally all that because you fucking hurt me. Wow. You lied. You lied to me multiple times. And then you picked the like, as she is the callus. Just nonchalant way to admit. Right. That you did this thing and lied about it multiple times. Right. Like, I was just rubbing a bitch to these for you. I didn't even want to come. You still got condom residue on your dick, talking about. Well, now I can tell you. I'm like, oh, wow, nigga. Wow. So this has been so you wanted me to come with you so that this could happen. So that you could say, yeah, set her into me. And I'm not allowed to kill you. So at this point, what we're going to do is you're going to leave. And then I suggest, again, because yeah, he needs to be proactive in building that bridge. Not a fix it. Right. But how do you get a nigga to do that when it's not in them without then resenting them perhaps you know, because you had to be the one. You don't know, you don't. If it's not in him, leave him. If he cannot, if he can come up with the intestinal 42 to do what he needs to do to save this relationship, then let it die. Amen. Let it die. I don't do the work for him, girl. You will never stop doing the work for him. If you do. Amen. So no, fuck that. It's his job to take the steps necessary. And all you need to do is be willing to go and hear it out. Like you just need to be willing to try to shut out. Yeah. But he needs to be doing the overwhelming majority of the work of like getting y'all to that place where you can start to repair the relationship in the first place because he is the one who fractionated. So no, you don't go find a therapist. You don't go looking for resources. You don't, you don't go emailing Oprah or whoever else that y'all talk to about stuff. Like they're like, you don't do not let that man do that. And if he don't, then you know what to do. Whoo, trifling though. My god, I would be so pissed. Like, we got two fucking kids with a red light district bitch. And so you say no that you didn't sleep with nobody in Brazil, but then you talking about, but in future international trips, perhaps we could each sleep with someone else like, what a fucking moron. Why wouldn't you just say it then? Why wouldn't you just wide lie? God, okay. Good luck, baby. Not an easy choice, uh, regardless, but I hope he's at least genuinely sorry for what he has done and is going to make a real effort to fix y'all's, uh, y'all's marriage or relationship. All right. Our last letter comes from Samantha who says, "Hello, Chris Link, if you're here, I'm a 31 year old woman and I recently been back on the dating scene here in Chicago. I've been seeing this guy who's also 31 for about two weeks. We met on Instagram after a series of sending eye emojis and hard eyes for a few months. And in person, he's great. He's very attractive, nice, build, great job, firm, but kind, peaceful to be around, enjoys traveling and is a great kisser. Our first thing was so well that I invited him back to my place for a night cat. But herein lies the problem. The sex was terrible. He was on the smaller side and to make matters worse, he couldn't stay hard. Why would I look? Little dig niggas are having them drag and dick sizes this week. I didn't even feel anything when we were fucking and I'm pretty sure he was just pumping in between my clothes, though. He came by last night and after a couple of shots, I tried to initiate sex again. I went as far as getting butt ass naked in front of him and told him that I like to sleep naked. And once we got in bed, we tried, but again, he was soft and could not get hard. He apologized and said he didn't know why this was happening to him. And he really likes me so much, so much that he might even be in his head about it. We just covered for the whole night and I thought to myself, "Girl, just wait for that morning wood." But in the morning, he was pushing rope again. It's only been two weeks. Pushing rope is so. All that's genius. Oh, it's sensitive. How good is that? How's a movement to it? Wow. Only been three push rope again. Okay, it's only been two weeks work. And I really like him and think he could potentially be a good partner, but I can't ignore bad sex. Do you all have any suggestions to help him or to help me? Is this worth trying again? Or should I just chalk it up to the game and move on? Even though he fits a lot of my criteria, otherwise, thanks so much Samantha. I just want to remind you, really quick, I'd like to reiterate, the pushing rope was absolutely insane. The visual. So, advice for this situation. Yeah, a couple of things. You have your Cialis, hymns, blue two. You've got your Viagra. Oh, they have all sorts of things for ED. And I do think it is likely that he really is very attracted to you and is in his head about it. And that's what's happening because it happens. Yeah. I've experienced that before with a gentleman and I was just like, well, you know, I am. I don't got that right. I'd be nervous too. So I get it. I mean, after what, three and a possible, I would also be like, okay, girl, go ahead and pull up two of this give it 20, 30 minutes. And let's get it. Let's get it moving there. Yeah, I think just my suggestion would be to try. If you are interested in him, because she likes him outside of the sex being wack. Try, try a dick pill. See what go. What happens from there? Yes. I would actually be like, look, I really like you. The only thing that's in the way is that the sex has not been a thing really. So like, are you willing to do something about that? Is there some sort of medical issue here? I mean, as far as I'm concerned, you can get on any of these fucking apps and ordered dick pills. I see ads all day long for dick pills. There's probably a hymns ad coming up in this show. In this very show. It's not hard to get them to be right. So I would be like, what are you willing to do to try to make this work? You know, like, I, I really do like you. I wouldn't necessarily say, yo, dick is a little bit little. Yeah, don't say that because you haven't ever get on. You haven't experienced everything that Dick can do. right let's see what it does when it's functioning properly cuz maybe it is a little on the small side but you like it maybe it's boyfriend day maybe it is hello hello now you cooking with grease so but if he not if he not willing to go see the doctor or get on one of them pills I'm not gonna sit here try to start or get rope burned I mean it's just it's the visual of pushing rope that is so funny but it's a lot of young men who have this problem cuz they've been watching porn since they was 10 and you know they do really ridiculous they've been doing a lot so it's I'm not even I'm not even too shocked at his age but he got to be willing to address the issue he got to yeah I'm sure he can get like a he could probably put like a virtual appointment with the doctor oh yes and no you can't you're absolutely right I thought you was gonna say something silly but yes you can yes you can you can me with them niggas on zoom yes you can probably got a prescription by the end of the week and of this week hell and it's a day for some of these ads I've been saying they like just call us we can't wait to send you the dick pills so serious it's called right now but I think that you're you kind of hit on how you said what are you willing to do almost similar to the last thing where it's like no baby I'm not going to point you to the direction of this very clear obvious thing that you can and should be doing to help our relationship or connection right like do I have to be the one to go you know it's the pills for that I shouldn't you know that you have an issue with it you know that you know that yo dick ain't doing what it's supposed to do so like I I wouldn't really should not even have to spell that out for you nigger do you want to address your glaringly obvious problem or not that's really up to you but if if he if you get the dick working and it's still too little for you do not settle you see what just happened to mother time and now she got two kids and the nigger lion and all the things she don't like about him are suddenly huge problem imagine leaping over all of those hurdles grabbing a gold medal and then going to another country with this get to find out you liar yeah I agree if the did get hard and the sex still wet then you know okay well this is there's nothing else to work with yeah not you know there's nothing wrong with just be like okay this isn't gonna work with us because the sex is trash yes and sex is a huge part of dating for the overwhelming majority of people so that is perfectly fine y'all not sexually compatible it is what it is you can go your separate ways but I would give it a shot just because everything else is so online like what a good job nice nigger nice good good teeth nice breath all that okay yeah where you finding out it right that's already four stars right there because all right good luck Samantha let us know how it goes all right guys we're gonna wrap up the list no letters right there again if you have a question for send us an email ask the read edgmail.com we'll be right back we are back ladies and gents in this time for the read I'll

You only got the way more Oh, man. Okay, so now I'm watching Game of Thrones over again and that's right. Oh, okay, I can't look for print And I mean, I mean she does you I laugh because she they could be siblings and you know I want to do this because I care deeply about women's basketball But I don't because I'm so tired of these white hose But I'm gonna do it anyway. Well, I just have to say the W NBA before like 2022 2023 was so fun, bro And it still is but Kaylyn Clark has brought a lot of Racist attention to the league and Sophie cutting him her teammate is just dialing right into all that Maga bullshit, and so all these people who don't actually give a fuck about female athletes or women's basketball are deep in our business and ruining the goddamn vibes I'm sorry Ruining why is Dave Portenoid telling Caitlin Clark to start her own league To start her own basketball league actually please do Caitlin please go start the triple C I don't care what the Cs stay up for Caitlin Clark connection. It don't matter. Go ahead and start it And you and Sophie and whoever else is aligned with y'all's values and all that please please go start your own league And leave the perfect and leave the W NBA to the rest of us Why is Dave Portenoid even in our business, but This is not about Dave. This is about other Asshole grunt like yeah, oh, yeah, why don't I just start a league? Yeah A league that's gonna play when When the W's not playing and when the Europeans aren't playing and When unrivaled and AU aren't playing what time of fucking year is that It's the fact that I know that doesn't make any child anyway and like you Anyway talking about the you the W NBA needs you more than you need them. That's actually not The W NBA has survived. It survived 28 seasons without Caitlin Clark And it it will continue to go on after Caitlin Clark no longer plays. She's a great player She's not The second coming of Jesus Christ himself like it isn't it isn't that serious But anyway, like I said, this is about other terrible men today This is fucking Sophie Cunningham that cut Sophie Cunningham's fault Um for bringing the whole issue of trans players in the W for even making that a thing because it isn't a thing Because like I said last goddamn week there has never ever ever been a trans woman to play in the W NBA and the overall okay So because of Sophie Cunningham and this all of a sudden being a hot bit issue We have had two former NBA players say that they are going to now declare for the W NBA draft And they expect to be drafted or to be a part of the draft ceremony etc at the 2027 draft this includes Royce White who played in like three games 14 years ago literally scored 0.0 steel 0 rebound 0sus Um, and I miss cancer who actually did have a real career, but has not played since I believe 2022 So two niggas who are not coming to the W NBA, but who are deciding to say you know what all you have to do to be in the W NBA Is declared that you are a woman and so for the purposes of basketball I am now a woman and I am going to be a part of this and Royce White Went so far as to buy himself a Beyonce honey blam bus down Early unit and posted a picture of him online and talking about it came y'all my first wig tomorrow. I tested on the court This is my feminine era glow-up. Did I slay if y'all don't y'all squean your transphobic? I really don't understand all the hatred. I just want to place some hoops with my fellow ladies fingernail emoji Royce is so stupid Make a better to me all that sorry No, you're you're not wrong He said on transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for the purposes of professional basketball So I will be declaring for the 2027 draft. I think I'm unstoppable. I'm a team first guy I'll do whatever the coach and the girls need me to do blah blah blah. So y'all are taking The the very real issue of trans people being discriminated against in sports and in life in general and Turning it into a complete fucking mockery because you're transphobic and probably all the other phobics as well And so you just want to be a dickhead about this particular issue Just because an and Royce even went so far as to say now this was an interview with Fox News So I watched as little as possible But when so far as to say that if he doesn't get drafted He's gonna looking to legal action against the league because why wouldn't he be again? You've already played professional basketball and you did not do well You it's it's zeros across the board for you on ESPN dot com so I'm I wouldn't be shot and you And most importantly you're not women You're not cis women and you're not trans women. You're two ass-hole men Who are deciding to insert yourself into the conversation that so that somebody will talk about you Congratulations, you are getting one crumb of attention that you would not otherwise get because your your NBA career was not Impressive y'all are two 30-somethings and why the fuck would anybody draft you when they could draft a 22-year-old girl When they could draft juju fucking walk-ins or any number of incredible professional athletes scattered across Europe China Asia the rest of Asia like why would they why would they? Why would anybody entertain this seriously? You niggas are a fucking joke going so far as to buy a wig and take a picture and post it online sweetie I think you might you might really be exploring your You might really be trying to taste the rainbow and if so Do your thing sister everybody is on their own journey, but don't be a dickhead To to trans women and try to turn this whole thing about trans people in in sports. Don't don't do it that way Just wear your fucking wig mama. We've all done it Go get a breastplate. Yeah, yeah and take selfies and literally Just you need to explore yourself without bringing the WNBA into it and now you know me. I'm not going to go Simply off vibes. I'm actually gonna go look at the fucking research because a lot of this boils down to we don't think people assigned to mail at birth Should be playing against people assigned female at birth is unfair advantage blah blah and There is not a lot of Research about this unsurprisingly because the number of elite professional athletes is already extremely small Compared to the rest of the population and so when you add in trans people into that it is it's lower numbers than what we see in the general population Which is only half of a person We are talking of y'all have enacted laws. Oh my god y'all have elected Horrible people with zero experience knowledge or expertise none too office Because of a problem that is not even really a problem and it's not even just because the number of trans people It's also because for people who are trans and Seek gender-affirming hormone therapy or surgical procedures They actually do have physiological different or physiological components that are closer to Sist people of their same gender like they do lose a lot of you know, whatever the advantage is regardless of whichever sex you were assigned at birth. So It's almost like if you actually are a trans woman like if you and and so now The WMBA is gonna have to get together their presidents and league officials and all this and and and the CBA because of course because the WMBA's Constitution and bylaws is also you know, it's part of their collective bargaining agreement So they're gonna have to also get the WMBA Involved to be more clear about the rules because y'all Sophie Cunningham decided to spearhead this issue that is not a Fucking issue and now we gonna have to get together and be like, okay? You have to be a woman. We're not going to exclude trans people the WMBA MPA put out a statement that said We're not gonna be used as political ponds all this you know all this shit for the the White House and all that leave us out of it Division and hate and etc. Won't be tolerated trans people belong blah blah blah So now we go have to sit down and say okay You either have to be a sign female at birth or if you were not a sign female at birth You have to have been on gender affirming hormone therapy. You must have had blah I'm like they're gonna have to sit here and detail it all out because Sophie Cunningham and these dumb ass niggas Want to pipe up about an issue that is not even a fucking problem Imagine being this goddamn board Picture getting a job Picture it picture active employment of 40 plus hours a week Something hate is so lame. Hate is late. It's so Like you are involving yourself heavily Ain't something you know nothing about or care anything about because you hate people that are not bothering or harming anybody Right, like when I talk about sports everybody knows I'm joking. Oh, yeah, cuz it makes zero sense from the very beginning. That's why it's fun. Yeah Yeah Yeah, it is but I'm like imagine if I was like spending Five six days a week talking about NASCAR for for no book reason just to hate like a child or something It's it's so stupid bot getting a wig knees. All right, girl Drag race is still on if you are this way they were They accept all kinds of the art. I'm saying. This is what I'm saying like you I'm gonna read just a few little stats here for y'all After two years of gender affirming hormone therapy trans women show little to no advantage over cis women It's us like running one and a half miles or a number of sit-ups Many performance differences in study metrics narrow substantially or disappear Some small residual advantage may still persist in strength sets in strength tests such as pushups and group strength in contrast Some areas suggest worse performance as in lung effect lung function efficiency of breathing and fitness when normalized to body size and again This is all done on the very small number of trans people playing professional sports Um because most people don't make it to the level of professional sports trans or not and so What the fuck are we doing here Now what are we doing here? We're really taking this seriously We're really gonna have to deal with these men showing up like They went so far as to go find a trans woman playing professional basketball mind you she's playing in France And she doesn't even play for the French national team. It's like a second tier. I don't know maybe like a g-league Type of situation over there and of course the reporting on her has been transphobic as fuck. They've been um Misgendering her and all that but somebody did reach out to her and she said you know Obviously the wna reached out to me. I wouldn't say no. It's the fucking wna But you have to be realistic because I'm old and that there are better players than me and that's true regardless of your gender Right, you can test you can you can have all of the girls in the w NBA right now do a bunch of strength tests and running and lung capacity and jumping and all that and you're gonna get Responses that vary all across the fucking board because different people have different abilities Some of them are gonna have more testosterone than others naturally because people are different This has again. This is not a problem. You niggas are fucking making it a problem and we got all that going on Sophie cutting is So Sophie you're really the you're really the the bug in my ass here And I have a feeling that when you're out the league things are gonna get a lot better because it's also she's also behind What's going on right now with DJ Nick Carrington and Emmanuel Acho because because the fever were playing the sky the other night. D'sanae was not finna let this bitch get away with no, run away lay up, break away lay up. And so she tried to block the shot in it, I found her. It was actually like a hard found. She got ejected, which is enough. You would think would be enough of a punishment. But the way people online have been acting as if D'sanae, you know, literally tried to beat this girl's ass. And as if Sophie cutting him herself has not committed similar files and not gotten kicked out the game. So anyway, it's the fact that the rules are not applied evenly between players, namely Sophie and Caitlin versus everybody else that caused D'sanae to go on to threads after she got ejected from the game. And she she posted white privilege at Indiana fever. Get, I said, oh, D'sanae, I might have to fucking stand in manual, I show though, which I'm sure you know him because y'all both work in the sports industry, but he saw this post on threads and tweeted, D'sanae Carrington posted white privilege from the locker room judge for yourself, but color didn't have nothing to do with the flagrant too. Well, fucking obviously, a manual, what kind of sense does that make? So D'sanae saw this and said, I've never once claimed that the assessment of the foul was white privilege, that was your assumption. Try exercising your critical thinking skills, I know you studied psych. Furthermore, I'm the last thing from ignorant or asked and I when it comes to speaking on white privilege, do your research on that one. I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add to educate myself on this exact subject. I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon, knowing the historical and social weight it holds without having the proper evidence to substantiate it. See, a manual I chose thought that D'sanae Carrington was a dumbass like the man he normally be talking about. You normally be talking about male athletes and they are stupid. D'sanae though, right, almost always, but D'sanae has bachelor degrees from Stanford in psychology and African-American studies. So yeah, she actually does know what she's talking about. And so then in manual was like, well, respectfully, the problem is that it wasn't clear. And if we ignore the context of her ejection, then white privilege is just an explosive accusation. And it's on you to be more clear about it. Why isn't it on you to take two fucking seconds to think about what she would be talking about? Why would she add the organization and not at WNBA refs or at Sophie Cunningham, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera? You didn't bother to think about it. You just react to whatever you think these crackers want to hear. That's what I truly believe about a manual, aren't you? That he just says or does whatever is going to keep him on television. And if that means misinterpreting a black athlete's post after she feels like she was mistreated or the rules are unfairly applied, then so be it. I don't give too much to a manual. I don't even, too much care. I just know that the way that y'all have been acting about Dijonet is hilarious to me. It's hilarious to me that a black woman who actually calls out the bullshit that is going on and the fact that it's not even gonna say that she didn't deserve to be ejected because it was clearly a flagrant too, like not intentional, which is why she wasn't suspended for another game, but fouls don't have to be intentional. You can accidentally smack the shit out of somebody and get ejected from the game. So I wasn't even arguing that she shouldn't be. It's that the rules are not uniformly applied. Caitlin Clark got her eighth technical. She should have been suspended for the game against the Liberty other day. Was she? No. Because she's the league's darling. And this selfie-cutting ham shit, she's running up right behind her. And y'all are really gonna let your hatred of black women, black masculine presenting women, black lesbians, lesbians in general, y'all and trans and gay people, y'all are really gonna let all of them phobics, y'all gonna let all of them ask how people come right on in and absolutely wreck the vibes of the W-A-B-A. Or at least you gonna try. But the difference is that the people who actually go to the games are not necessarily the same as the people who be online kicking up the most shit about the W. And so the fever, organization and fans and attendees, they might be on team Sophie and team Kate Nune and team white power everybody else ain't. 'Cause why did Dishonet Carrington get a standing ovation in Seattle the other day? (laughing) Bitch, we're not on y'all side. We are fully supporting Dishonet and the rest of the black women of the W-A-B-A. I'm not with this nut shit. The trans thing is insane. 50 million different ways it's not an issue and yet all of a sudden it has to be an issue because of these white holes. - Girl, fuck out of here. - Fuck out of here. And all of that, on top of Christa Marko, waving my favorite fucking player. This is the woman Laney is named after. Barely even played this fucking season. And now the Mystics got her and the Mystics are already good, mind you. The Mystics didn't need another weapon. Meanwhile, we got a collection of white European girls, nobody's playing defense. We scraping the bottom of the playoff letter. Like, oh my god, give me outta here, bro. And the Liberty talk about, hey girl, are you ready to renew your season tickets? Y'all fed up pissing me off. I want Chris outta here. Why did we even, why did we even fucking hide? Let me ask you something. Let's say you're launching a new podcast. Would you hire an executive producer who had never listened to a podcast before? Because Christa Marko gave an interview where he talked about never having watched the WNBA and yet he was hired as the head coach of a WNBA team. Any lead team at that. Give me outta here, give me outta here, but that's separate from the real issues. That's me being mad at my specific team and sad to see Bed and I should go because I truly do adore her. And I, somebody told her that I named my dog after her. She was like, why? (laughing) Oh my god, you know, you just have a phasier. My favorite fucking player. I'm devastated to see you go. I was so sad the day that we cut Bed and I should, I actually rolled up and smoked a blunt. I have not done that in months. If not years. I had not smoked and I don't know how long. Baby, I was distraught. - Why does somebody tell you that that somebody told her that you named leaning after her? - Oh, I don't know. I'm probably just thinking about it. But, I mean, I get it. I'm like, well, girl, not that, who am I to you? But I really, I just really enjoyed her as a player when the Liberty moved to Brooklyn. I was just like locked in with her in Sabrina. So, I hated to see this. And, anyway, fuck all you trolls who are trying to ruin a good thing, okay? We've been having a black-ass, queer-ass woman and everybody, gender-inclusive-ass time. Don't come over here with y'all's dumb shit trying to fuck it up, please, please. Go over there to the barstool league with Dave Portinoi and Caitlin Clark. Yeah, why don't you just back her and y'all start your own league, your own white-power, mega-basketball barbie league and you and all of them asshole people can go over there, leave our shit alone. But you're actually obsessed with us. It will never work because you need to be agitated by us. You need our presence to piss you off because we're so much better than you are. Smarter, faster, more talented, et cetera, et cetera. Anyway, yeah, I think that's it for me. Stop acting like this issue of trans people in sports is one that actually matters when a regular ass bag of Doritos is $5, $6. There are real problems in this country. So, leave me with a fuck along, man, fuck. I guess it is because like, oh, here are these women like doing a woman thing for a woman. And it's like something that we attribute to men. And then they have the nerve to have black ones and gay ones and happy ones. The fever are playing the liberty, not this Saturday, but the next, and on the one hand, I don't want to sell my tickets because I don't want more fever fans in Barclays. On the other hand, I hate going to fever. James. Oh my God. The worst vibes. Y'all bring the worst people to this leak. We will not miss you when you go. Please go start your own shit. Yeah. And that's it for me. All right. Well. Oh, yes. And that will pop up. Yeah, that wraps up this week's episode of the read. Check us out on social media. At this is the read new episodes of my advice show, Crystal's catch out every week, Crystal's catch on all podcasting platforms and at Crystal's catch on social media. Any other announcements from you, Kiffiri, before we wrap up. Just to check out my podcast, furious thoughts on YouTube and all the podcast platforms. And thank you so, so much to everyone. It's not over this live. Thank you to everyone who came to 305 live this past weekend. It was amazing. I'm proud of you, LA for mostly dancing, mostly y'all look like you had a really good time. So many y'all still working on the standing up and not feeling embarrassed thing or whatever. That's what this is about. Baby steps. That's what three or five live is about. So bring the ratchet. I don't give a fuck who's watching on barefoot and drunk and probably pregnant at the same time to bring that energy of my hometown to the rest of the world. So thank you to everyone who came out. We had a really good time and I'm probably forgetting something but it's fine because it's definitely an emergency, but was I wouldn't forget it. All right, y'all take care of yourselves and be so nice and good to each other. We'll see y'all next week.
