[Music] Grah, Grah Boom. Welcome back everyone. I am a drill rapper from upstate New York. But I claim the city because it's better for marketing. And I am Asia Wilson. And this is the read. Thank you for coming back. It is. Happy December, girlies. It's the holiday season. Christmas time is here. Mariah Carey. And we're happy to hear from you. See you in things of that nature. Hope you're happy to be alive. Hope you're feeling in the Christmas spirit. And I hope that you are having a white Christmas in terms of snow and serenity in peace. And a black Christmas in terms of everything. Now let's move on to this week's festivities. How's New York? Freezing fucking cold. Thank you so much. When chill got down to like 11 degrees the other day, Laney was I raised. Lesson humans. Yeah. Yeah. Who would you be? She's pretty pissed off because she has to put on her big coat. Right. And it's not enough. So you'll have eight pound ass has to put a real coat on. She's pretty ticked off. But you know, it's also like, yes, December in New York. It's supposed to be cold as much as I wish it was 70 degrees. It shouldn't be. Right. And I went. Oh my god. I went up to Times Square, Harold Square. You know that whole area of the city. It's hell on a regular day, the holidays. Oh my god. I every shoulder to shoulder to shoulder. It was so bad. But instead of being, you know, my New Yorker irritated itself, I decided to like, try to lean into it. Just try to see the city through a tourist size. You know, some people save up. And this is like the vacation of the year to come see something where I'm like, oh, gross. Pretty much 80% of the people out there at the time. But then it's like, you've lived there for so long. The novelty wears off. You kind of have to be like, oh, this isn't an incredibly magic. Yeah. And it really is a reason people rush out. Yes. Yes. And me being annoyed at something where I'm a 30 minute ride on the train away from like all this stuff with the people like. So I tried to look at it like that. The decorations, the lights, all that. It really is very festive. They had carolers. And at first I was like, oh, boom, boom. Like I literally said, had a laugh. And I was like, you got to chill. But good one. Yeah, they could really say they were quite a few. They go off. Yeah. So I say, you know, just lean into it. You're the one came to 34th street on December 9th, bitch. You know, you had a place for exactly what you was doing. Well, I was actually going to go see my billboard in Times Square. Shout out to Patreon for me up on a billboard. So that was, you know, I was there. We met at four o'clock. Take the pictures. I was gone at 405. One thing about me, I do not linger in tourist heavy areas. But so I was walking down to 34th to go to this Apple event. And yeah, the the annoyance was shooting up through the roof. And I said, why don't you just try to take in all of this? You know, like I can remember my first time seeing Times Square and being like, it's real. You know, like, oh my God, you see it in movies and stuff. And so I tried to look at it like that. I got some mold wine that helped. I cannot lie. Mold. Yes. Mold wine. So yeah, you know, I'm just trying to keep Laney covered and protected. Honestly, her snow suit and her snow boots are coming today. Because the first time links Paul touched ice, I'll never forget it. Yeah. She looked at me and was like, I don't know what the fuck is going on out here. Fix it. But I don't want any further. Yeah. I'll be going inside now. Thank you. I was like a dog after my own. Right. See, and now she gets to live in LA where you don't have, you literally do not have to worry about snow. Does it ever snow? She can't have balls out of the in LA. Right. Y'all and I hate people in LA. Right. Y'all over the post in your fucking pictures. Like, oh, it's such a balmy day. Fuck. Go fuck yourselves. Okay. Would it rains here? They love it. Oh, do they go outside? Like, oh wow. Thank you. No, but there's just like, oh, I just want to like curl up on the cow. Yeah. It's cozy. It's cozy. Yeah. Me be from like a place where it's hard to get easy. Yeah. Yeah. 300 days a year. I'm like, shit cozy about this. You could do it without. But then, I mean, girl, they literally need it. That's why I think I aspire. Right. So y'all be like, yeah, actually going to rain for a few days, actually, while you add it. Yeah, if you could. That would be great. I'd be super good. All right. Well, let's get into the black excellence this week starting with one Master P. I'm giving Master P black excellence this week because he has been partnering with a group called Make Good Nellia to highlight an initiative of theirs where they've been like 3D printing mobility chair for kids. You have to see it. You can go to their Instagram, Make Good N-O-L-A to see them. It's like fish or price found in. These chairs are so cute. They're so colorful. The shape of them is really, really nice. I could see any child toddler baby being like, oh my god. I just want to be in this. Right. And where is my chair? Have you seen it? Oh my god. So you said in that to eat your dinner mommy poor. It's really cute. And so Master P partnered with them. I think they're doing like a series where they're interested in bringing in familiar faces and influential people and stuff like that after this to kind of keep bringing eyes and maybe donations to the initiative. But Master P says that he wanted to work with them because he has a nephew who deals with disability and so he's all about helping him in any way that he can. And one of the first things I saw was Master P with this chair I like finished. And he goes, now this right here really made me want to say, oh and I was like, oh it's happened. I knew it. No, I had been happened but like here it is. Yeah. Oh, grandad. Like, that's how old we are. It was so heartwarming because like my Master P from when I was a kid, where they have like craved. If someone else would have said this suggests he saved it. Yeah. It would have been like, you know, it just happens to you. Yeah. And there's a piece to that. Mm-hmm. And you you get to a point where you're like, I actually I'm accepting Auntie. I'm embracing Unk. It's just there. It's just I'm just old in in a pop culture since I don't feel old but as far as like what is trending and new and on top, you know, finger on the pulse and all that. Baby, I've aged out of it. I had my day and I had fun. But it's the it's Jin A's turn. It's Jin A's turn. And you, you know how to use and I do. I adore TikTok. My number one app. But I also embrace it. It's giving just like there is a piece and just the biological. Yeah. You are going to get older. You going to say why he said you were going to think it's cute. Your joints are going to predict the way. Oh my god. Please, I woke up today. My left knee was so tight. I'm like, please. And then check the calendar for the right. Hey, man. Like I know this is the reality of arthritis. Okay. I'm old. That's what it is. And that's fine. Again, you can go to their Instagram to see more of this stuff and how they put it together and how cute these chairs are. Shots and messages for bringing my eyes and ears to it. He's also quite busy being a basketball coach. Are you I know? I think for the private, private tears. Is that their name? Yeah. He over there coaching the basketball. Yeah. Wasn't he a coach when Romeo was playing? I think I remember that. So that makes sense. Yeah. Good for him. Yeah, it looks like he's still. Yeah, he had been like coaching and sports and stuff like that for a while. So I was surprised at that. But I also know that it should be to be pretty involved with the community. Like it has been a big sense. He became rich. So here he is in his spectacles. And you know, just being older and putting money and time or his mouth is, go show them some love. Uh, follow, donate, hug a baby, kiss the monkey. I'll look at it. Let's move into our pop culture segment that we call Hot Times. There's not anything in everything in the world of topping, topping, speech. Um, so the Met Gala for 2026 will be taking place in May. Monday may 4th to be specific, as it is usually the first Monday of May. One beyond, no, female pop vocalist will be a co-chair for the Met Gala next year. Alongside, uh, Venus Williams and Nicole Kibbitt and Venus Williams. And then I went to her and Venus Williams and Beyonce. They will be co-chairing the Met Gala next year. I think the theme is customary. Yeah, that's what it says. Yeah. Um, they didn't say what the dress code is specifically what they have said on the hosting committee. There is one Sabrina Carpenter, Dosa Cat, Gwendolyn Christie. Oh, yes, came of prunes and Wednesday. I love me, some Gwendolyn Christie. Yeah, me too. The big woman. The, what a giant woman, all I want to do is see you turn in, I start Steven over. Yeah. I was just, so I've never seen Adventure Time. I'm like, oh, wow, that's my bad. Um, and I still have it. But Rebecca Sugar did a song that she wrote for Adventure Time and she just performed it on her TikTok or whatever. It's the shortest fucking song. It's like 30 seconds. It's not on any streaming services. I'm obsessed with it. I cannot get enough of it. She started reviewing. She, I just am, well, yeah, I, I'm not sure, actually, which all pronouns, but yes, Rebecca Sugar is really one of one, I absolutely obsessed with that person. So of course, you restart. I just watched even, was that earlier this year? I just rewatched even universe. Oh, sorry. It is. I think I have a show coming to adult swim now, too. Oh, really? Yeah. Cause I just saw a post for like two days ago on Rebecca's face. Oh, okay. It was like, um, I think it's called the elephant. It looks very wacky. Okay. And being on adult swim, I assume that it's a little right. So, um, I'm interested to see what that is, is going to be giving, um, now that you mentioned to what's called Adventure Time, you know, there's a spin off for it now that I think air is on HBO max and maybe it's also on it on Cartoon Network. But it's called cake is oh yes, cake in Tyrone or something. What is it? Tyrone? No, their names in Adventure Time are Finn and Jake. So this is a, uh, it's like cake and Lynn, uh, Fiona, not Tyrone. That was my bed. Of course it is. Uh-huh. Fiona and cake. And so it's like a different like Jake is a chick or some, I don't know, but I saw a clip of it on Twitter and I don't know. Someone is arguing about Zufelia being in a children's show because there's like this anthem per morphic cat that cases like a human guy on the cheek and then he's just kind of like. Okay. I mean, these are cartoons, I'm like, I feel like this, we can't, is everybody be a serious right now? Like, I would have never survived the 90s, let's just play the 90s would have beat your asses. But you could not have taken it. Who cares? My bug's bunny carry the revolver. I would hate to introduce you out of double bear struggle. I don't know. Cow and chicken. Come on. Just play me for real bitch, like my god, let's be for like, not that deep, bro. Well, I need, I need to watch Daria from the top too. Another classic. God, that show's so fucking funny. Um, okay. All of that from Gwendolyn Christie. Thanks this. Alex Konsani, Misty Copeland, uh, Sam Smith, Tiana Taylor, Aja Wilson. Okay. There's also a nose committee. I'm on the host committee. Amazing. Uh, I can't wait to do this, whatever that means. So it looks like we have something to keep her eyes on. I didn't realize it's been a decade since she'd been to the, the Met Girl would be. Oh. Variety said, she ain't got time for all that. Her last appearance was a decade ago. Yeah. I'm like, oh, yeah. But this would be how you get her back. I'm like, why don't you just help write, is you know, it is going to gag. I can't even imagine costume art. I mean, always every year people, you know, have their own interpretation of whatever the theme is, but be honest, I so rarely miss, oh, why would you say that to me? Why would you say that to me? What is blue? In a way. She's got about the, the princess of hip hop and R&B almost forgot about, almost forgot about the air to the throne. What is that diva going to wear? She in the lab right now. Do it sketches. Let's get started. Chop chop. Rep. Your oxygen. Well, we're getting two weeks behind schedule. Oh, I love it. The pieces are getting flung in. I think Brandi are still touring. Another hilarious clip recently was Monica and Brandi standing side by side holding hands. I think closing out a show. Where was this in Atlanta and right before they get ready to wrap up, Monica says before we finish, I just want to take Ray Jay phone. Did you see this. So funny. Take Ray Jay phone, Ray Jay, where's Ray Jay, Ray Jay give me a phone, let me have a phone. Thank you so much. Everybody give a round of applause for Ray Jay because he's not just Brandi's brother. He's my brother too, but I'm going to hold on. And so as a sister, I'm going to, I'm going to take that fall because you play through that much. I'm the one. And we all just want you to, you just need to, just, just stop talking. Don't go live no more. No string. No, no string. No, no. I bet he's just got to laugh it off. It looked like it was like, you know, whatever. But I'm sure Brandi was also like, finally, I got some backup. It's not just me trying to corral this rowdy nigga. He don't know how to act. Maybe if she say it, because he knows she'll fight. Right. He know me too well. So that's going to cut. Give her your fuck. Monica. No, she's waving horribly. Monica. Every time someone uses that clip, I am crying. It's so good. Not only is it good, but when you use it as a quote, unlike threads anywhere, she's looking down. So there's a picture of Monica and she's looking at her saying it. But the first person we use, it's been used a couple of time now. The first person you who use it, you know, who you are. You have a special place in heaven, at least like you can appeal, you know, when you get up there, because wow. That tweet changed lives. It's something important for pop culture in that moment. Meanwhile, Ray J apparently owes American express like figures. They're suing him for 139,849 dollars and 85 cents saying that he hasn't paid, uh, made payments on his car since May, Monica, since May, yeah, you got to throw them a little something, Ray J. Come on. Let's call it a minimum payment every month, you got to throw them a couple thousand. You got to give them something. You can't just not pay it. I'm like, am I going to I wouldn't think one of those fake and punishable glasses and the squee bike probably, but they're right on. I feel like he coined key. I can't help off. You should have this, I would not have thought that 139,000 dollar balance would be a challenge for Ray J, like even if you can't pay it all off right now, I definitely would have thought you had something to put on it. What I don't understand is not paying it at all. That's what. Yeah. I don't believe it's a not paying it. Well, then why would they be suing it because they don't sue I mean, they're not paying it. I mean, I don't believe it's not having it. Okay. So then why would you not make the payments? Too busy posting videos for Beyonce, too busy running back and forth the zoos, too busy starting your own zoos, too busy threatening your baby mama, I'm just not staying focused. I mean, you're responsible. These are grown up. Valid, but I would think, you know, they they send emails, they mail you things, they. When you try to use the car and it don't work, I would think all of a sudden this would, you know, you would just take a few minutes. It literally takes less than two minutes log in and and make a payment. Yeah, because it looks like they filed this lawsuit, like about three weeks ago. They're not playing with you. So since May they're going to, you're getting content. It's okay. And six months and the six months is up. Where is our God damn money? Oh, hey girl. I'm so we're done reminding. Yeah. Yeah. Why aren't you making the minimum payment due? That's what I don't understand. Because even on a balance of one thirty nine, I have to imagine the minimum payment can't be more than a few thousand. That's one. That's right. Like the bare minimum where we still go get like 30% fucking APR or whatever. Right. But point. Yeah. So, uh, Reggie, you really too old for this. Because I don't think Brandi is going to serve well for the card payments. I imagine Brandi who has real talent and a real career Brandi probably don't even focus. Brandi got people who have that for her. And so it's not even a question. Like all her shit is our autopay. What you mean? Ben all autopay. So does they invented autopay? Brandi was like, oh yeah, that's for me. Girl, not if if it's ever anybody where to be like, oh, you owe us this money that hasn't been paid. So I'm getting fired. Right. Right. This is this is not my friend. Right. Where are you at? Speaking of court, uh, that lady who was still in Cardi B and then lost in a Cardi B ledgely through a pain in somebody and then she was like, oh, yeah. The judge was like, girl, you mean, I don't cut up this. I don't know what it should be. Oh, good. I mean, it was silly, but it did crack me up. It did. Um, so the judge said Cardi intimidated jurors by throwing a pen at a reporter while talking to the media as what this lady Amani Ellis said, um, Cardi's lawyers called the request based, listen, I'm sorry, the request for the trial. And said it should be rejected outhand out of hand. Um, and at a court hearing on this past Friday, December 5th, the judge rejected the pen tossing argument and denied, uh, the request from neutral saying, writing, even if the plaintiff had provided sufficient evidence of these sort of facts, the court finds unpersuasive the speculation that defendants propoded action of throwing a pen could have intimidated the jurors into finding against the nature of plaintiffs. I mean, that's that's valid. The court said, now look, we do love bullshit. But this is the bullshittiest. We can't do nothing with this girl. This is dumbest shit. Was it ridiculous for her to throw a pen? The nanosecond she got out of court? Yes. But not entertaining. Go somewhere with this. Yeah. Please, girl. For her. She got things to do. Her daughters. Right. We got shit. She can't be taking breaks from prepping for this tour to, uh, to, you know, go meet with her lawyers about testifying and shit again. She is busy. And she got a tour at the same time as going to her man's games. Like she has things to do. Please say for everyone the time. Oh, yeah. Hmm. Interesting. Have you heard about Nicki Minaj and the Barbie boat? You know, we should bring back this. Yeah. I was actually, how bad is this? The Barbie boat? How? One range of two. Okay. All right. So Nicki Minaj, hold on. Hold on. Okay. This is not, you tell me if this is on her. I say it's okay. Nicki Minaj posted on December 6, a small clip, in what looks like the base side waters of Miami, Florida. And it is a speed boat. But it's all pink. Well, pink, like, black trim or black with pink trim. And it says Barbie on the top of it. And it's just, you know, soaring through the ocean. It's just that. It's just a clip of this speed boat pink and black says with her on it or just the boat. No, it's just like, it's an aerial shot of the boat in the water. So the barbs were reposting and as just talking about how wealthy she is, mostly as an argument against allegations that Nicki ain't got no money. Nicki's been going rogue. She's been on her money on her nigga and his legal issues. And that's why she mad blah, blah, blah. So this is kind of like, this bitch got a Barbie yacht. Is it a yacht or is it okay? It isn't anything near yet. Because that's not what you describe. You did not describe a yacht. If I could do a split in my feet, you could touch both sides. Actually, let me Google this boat. We're on a boat. It's really pretty. It's very cute. But the truth of the matter. Oh, it is cute. It's very cute. The truth of the matter should have been pretty obvious. Seeing as how this is right near South Beach and it's the beginning of December. Yeah, who wouldn't be I would. Right, right. It's our basil bitch. Like they probably also have this same company. Probably also have Barbie ATVs, Barbie, um, you know, Barbie Hailcat. These bitches have like Barbie stretch hummers because the girlies come out there, spend $3,000, $4,000, $2,000, for a little ride around on these things for their TikTok, for their Instagram, for their tweet, for their Facebook, right, right, right, right, right, boiling in Miami. So that's what this is. So the bars are getting a little ahead of themselves, I guess, assuming that because Nicki Minaj posted this Barbie boat that she owned. Oh, she posted it. Okay. Yeah, she posted it first. That's why they were talking about it. But she didn't say that she was on the boat. She didn't say it was her boat. She just posted a Barbie boat. That was it. I'm not even sure. That's what I'm saying. I'm going to be sure this isn't like an implication. Like I might even really being like, hey girls, it's not like she posted the video and just said great dayouts out on the water tonight. You know, maybe like she just posted a Barbie boat the same way she'd be posting all kinds of AI of her. They she like, it could, oh my god, the actual people who have the boat posted on, I think this is TikTok. Someone tagged her said it's available. There's a response that says, so did she rent it for a video because we saw that she posted it and they responded, no, she saw it from balcony at a hotel she's staying at in Miami. Oh, I don't know if that part is true. Because like, how you know she's staying at that hotel? How you know she didn't just see that clip somewhere. Right. Whatever. Either way, that's right. Someone else, right, posted on Instagram. It looks like very might be on the boat on the back of it because it's showing like the, what do you call these? The propellers on the back? And the caption on this like story post says, can confirm this is not Nicki Minaj's boat, but at this and at that person, it would love to have you on it anytime. Best art basil ride ever. Okay. And then I guess this is the company Midnight Express posted, rent the Barbie Dreamboat for 2000. Yeah, $2,000. So this one kind of, I think, send the Barbie nation into like a little bit, or at least the ones who were soon and then started jumping out in front of boats, making all kinds of assumptions, but I'm like, that lady just posted a boat that completely works with her. Everything. Yeah. I know. I don't think she's wrong for this. This sounds like a case of the barbs, assigning meaning to something without having any reason to do that because honestly, I would expect Nicki Minaj to have a much nicer boat than this. If anything bigger, like Papa Bear not going out on that thing. Yeah. Yeah. Papa Bear not getting on that thing. So she's not wrong. She's wrong for this. I pulled up her Twitter to find this post and I see now she's fully on Trump's ass. Oh, yeah, I just, I was just taking it. That's what I'm like, that's the second shot. Yeah. This here's one Trump greater than Chumps, Elon greater than Pions. She, yeah, she is fully in on the Trump shit. I told y'all, I told y'all she want a pardon for them rapists in her life. That's what she wrong for this. This is nothing. This is the barbs getting ahead of themselves. I agree. I would assume the boat would be larger. Even if the livery, the color grade were the same. I think the boat would be launched at the very least. This was very clearly a tour about it. She was like, oh, that's cute. I'm supposed to. And that's that. I art like, uh, coin. What was that? Were you bitches saying on, on, and you're fucking poor ass social medias. Don't you ever talk about the Queen. - Yeah, y'all need lives. - Blueface is doing a new show where bitches try to date him. I guess there's only fans or something. This time however, he is having them shoot in what looks to be a prison. I guess this is what I said, but they're actually in jail. Like the bunk beds, the cement walls, the bars, they're like shooting this in prison. - Right, right. - My question then becomes why would anybody want to be on this show? And I'm being 100% serious. - I don't have an answer for you. - I legitimately don't understand that. Like is Blueface supposed to do something for you? Is he supposed to look at his baby mommas? Do you want either one of their lives? What about being with Blueface? Sounds like a good idea. I'd rather call Natalie Nunn and go on baddies than go on Blueface's only fan show. And I'm so for real. I know my 100% is here. - It is a wide organic grass bed. (laughing) - This is just three range beds. - There is no amount. - Why are y'all doing that? Do y'all get a cut? - Of wealth or effort. - I bet you they doing it for free. I bet you they doing it for free. I doubt these girls are getting paid. - Jesus, this kid. - Yuck. - Okay. - I just don't. - I'm just depressing. - It's like. - I'm depressing. - Yeah, y'all say like, oh, you know, they want niggas to put them on a dress and Hollywood for a humiliation ritual. This is a humiliation ritual. - I feel like as soon as you fill out the inquiry from being on this show, a therapist should call you instead and be like, less schedule and it takes that shit. I feel like you need to come sit down and talk to me maybe a person and maybe on Zoom. But you need to sit down and talk to somebody - They just start like staying operations. There's like a fake audition for these things. - Yes. - And then actually a therapist is there. - Yes, but instead of like to catch a predator, it's like to catch a bad bitch or something. And it's like, we know you are a wounded girl. - Bad guy. - To a bad guy, bad guy. - Ah! - That's it. - You have some help for her. - Where you think you come in, you walk in the door thinking you walk it into the blue face audition room and stand as a lineup of psychologists being like, go ahead and take a seat. (laughing) - We're gonna hear a lot of the leaves. - 'Cause we can't believe you saw that cast in call. (laughing) And they give you some grippy socks to put on. Like, you know where you going after this. We need to monitor you, bitch. 'Cause it's something wrong. God damn, you're self-esteem is in hell, bitch. We gotta do so. This is an intervention. - This is just wild. - I don't know, I'm gonna get back into prank for y'all. - I feel like you better off doing just about anything else. Like door-dead. - Like anything, anything else. Anything else. - Yuck. - God be with the pretty girl. - Anything else. - Pretty hurts. - Don't eat. - So apparently that damn ditty-dark. His number one on the flit, man. - Man, they got me. Well, I haven't watched it yet, but I am going to. - Okay, that makes one of us. So you'll be able to catch us up on the Cummings and Goins. Everyone's talking about except me. And that includes Marlon Wands. That includes Jar Rule. That includes Meets to Hill. Everyone's talking about it. I'm gonna first discuss, let's just get Marlon Wands out of the way. Marlon Wands was on Cummings Park Earth. I asked him about it. And he essentially said, I don't should ask him. It just kind of looked like what is this person's intention outside of, I hate this neighborhood. - Yeah. - I think they specifically asked him about the implication or the suggestion that Puffy has something to do with Biggie Dying. - Yeah. - That's what Marlon was like. And that's where Marlon was like, okay, just I'm saying as a producer or director, I can have a narrative go whichever way I wanted to go. I can make you without even facts for certain things. I can make you think about it. And once you open the door to think about it, then boom, boom, boom. So really what he was just saying is that like these things have story narrative. And someone else was like kind of like reality shows. - True. Reality shows do the same thing. They build a story. - Yes. - And they try to produce something around that story. And that's not to say you didn't have anything to do with this group's death. I think he was just calling you into question. - Okay, well, this incredibly petty nigger is one producing this. What is this? - Right. - Just think about it. - 50 cent responded by posting a picture of Marlon in white chicks and saying, "Key, my name, I don't know if I forgot my voice." Like, we haven't all seen it. Like, okay, so I don't understand what, I don't understand this one, right? This is a movie that came out that we all watched. We know what he looked like in that movie. - Yes. - You know what the movie's about. - And we love it. - You know the intention of the movie. - That we fucking love that movie. - This isn't a secret. Like, you didn't. - Did you think you gagged somebody? - Right. - It's laptop. Like, I don't understand this. But like, niggas, it seems like their shade fest, their reading is just posting photos of the person that they find to be embarrassing and then escalating. And then that's it. There's no read. - Right. - There's no like, it's just here I'll picture you that he's gay. (laughing) And that's supposed to be it, like, mm-hmm. And do you see how you looked gay that time? All right, niggas, who cares? - The same thing so many other people have been saying, like, - The biggie, too, Parker? - Yeah. Like, I don't even understand why 50 Cent will respond to Marlon of all people, like who cares? - Who's Marlon's famous? - Well, I mean, hell, I actually feel like he's not even the only famous person to bring it up, but, okay, I guess he bored. - Marlon posted a photo of 50, from the poster 12 years of play where he ran him. - Oh. - So now let's think about this 50. I'm assuming meaning like, I'm actually comedian. - This is really not the game, you're right. - This is not the game you wanna play. - 50 Cent then reposted a video. This is like a clip from Marlon on Shannon Sharpe's podcast where he talked, in this clip, I think he talked about having gone to parties with classical force, I mean. And then he posted in the caption for this video 50 Cent says, I'm number one in 49 countries. I want all the smoke punk. I just found that wording to be so interesting. I'm number one in 49 countries. He's talking about the movie. - Well, I mean. - You got the documentary. The documentary is not about you. The documentary is actually about really horrible heinous things that a horrible heinous person did. You didn't direct the documentary. You didn't have to say much about it, sir. You're number one in 49 countries. - You're not, you, and, but you know, if you think about all the things you know about 50 Cent, him saying something like that is so unbranded. Like of course you take it. - Yes, but you're also signing the fucking document that Marlon just wrote in blood. - And you're making his point, man. - Yeah, you're right. - Which is that your intentions are not placed where they should be. - Why? I didn't want to watch it in the first place. I said 50 Cent producing a documentary on puff is just a little too fucking much. But. - Let's move on over to what Jauru had to say because almost passes this is my read. This, like I said, on Twitter, let's be real. Then you know, give a fuck about the victims. We all know why he did the doc. Herman's a cancer to the culture. If he cares so much, then donate the profits to charities for domestic violence. I don't know why he calls her if he said Herman. - Oh yeah, cause what's his real name? Curtis. - Yeah. - Oh, maybe his middle name is Herman. That would be so funny. - Nope, it's James. Herman, the monster. I really don't know what Herman is. Someone said I'm a 50 cent side on this one. There are some animals that deserve to be snitched on out there. Some things can't be swept under the rug. Jauru said I'm not condoning David's behavior. I'm showcasing Herman's character. Then he tweets. Herman's no different, allegedly. 50 cent, real name Curtis Jackson has been involved in at least one well-documented domestic violence incident. In June 2013, he was accused of picking his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son, model Daphne Joy also known as Daphne Narvaez, in a stomach during an argument at her Los Angeles condominium, as well as destroying approximately $71 hundred worth of her property, [BLANK_AUDIO] Franchero chandelier on television the altercation reportedly stemmed from suspicions of infidelity now It's very clear that he put her mints no different allegedly Shraggy mochi and then what's had gbt say it right? Okay, make sense Los Angeles authorities charged in with one misdemeanor count of domestic violence for counts And mr. Viennese vandalism Jackson pleaded not guilty initially, but later recently deal in October 2013 pleaded no contest But one count of vandalism the domestic violence charge and three vandalism courts were dropped as part of the agreement He was sentenced to three years of probation 30 days of community service 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling There's a hundred one hundred dollar restitution payment to joy $1,390 and fines and a restraining order requiring him to stay away from her Jackson denied the domestic violence allegations of the time there is a turning stating it not been arrested and there was no warrant for his arrest 2024 I made his production at a Netflix of a Netflix docu series Joy publicly accused Jackson of raping and physically abusing her over the years referencing the to the 2013 incident as part of a pattern though no new charges resulted from these claims All went in and then he says it's cool when he do it. It's a problem when I see a fuck a fuck out of here her I mean, it's an abuser to allegedly. I guess people like calling him out For like why you posting it why you hate them this nigga that I was like He is doing this thing Right He is the same type of nigga. Please believe this is the document you're watching is what I just right. It's just about someone. Yeah Damn, that's valid. Um, I figured out where Herman came from John rule called him a Herman Munster head ass nigga Yeah, so and then I had to Google Herman Munster and then it Hey you you know immediately that square head yeah, okay Someone said to him. Thank you, Jai. He was he also was accused by Tatted up Holly He retweeted that and he said less than I have selective outrage when it comes to domestic abuse. So it's genre who you know Calling 50 sent out on his shit because he hates 50 cent for personal reason. I have nothing to do with the victims. Yes I'm not mad. Did we say this very thing when question like it makes sense Honestly, the things Jai rule and Martin said they both make sense. So I'm not sure What that nigga is so pressed about you do have weird motives It's just the fact that you are 50 cents. So you had access to all this type of video footage or ways of obtaining this video footage that You know regular journalist legal analysis, etc It could have never had any chance of getting that's why your name is on this documentary But it you being number one in 49 countries is absurd the idea that you did this because you just care so much about victims Is even more absurd like known yeah horrible person as well. We ain't even talked about how you do your kids At least did he claim not only claimed on his kid claim other niggas kids and you know perhaps he was a terrible father But he at least claimed them niggas spend money on them niggas. There's no way that did he could be did he and now be a term father right now I mean you you allegedly killed one of the mothers of your children, so But you just cannot abuse women and be a good father And no it's just because you're absolutely teaching your kids to be that same way to either also be abusive or to accept abuse or turn and I to it like you Absolutely, but like 50 said he just has no space to talk shit about any body else And I feel like that's all they say it You can walk into bubble gum. Yeah, you can Most of us you can watch this documentary and be like yeah This nigga is a piece of shit and I can't believe this and wow this adds even more context Or if you want to get out of that and also be like it is very well the 50 cent is the woman running around with this as a banner I wonder who's gonna produce the 50 cent documentary. That's where my mind goes because You also got skeletons in your closet You just don't have puffs money, so maybe you never got the chance to be quite that depraved or you don't have his power But or you didn't you came up in a different era, you know, it was a big difference between the 90s and the 2000s But regardless of how different yeah, I mean regardless of not that but not different enough And that's the point everybody is making no like different in just the type of The type of rich nigga you are like they are not only is Diddy like in a different bracket, but You know diddy want oil baby oil with drugs in it and sick, you know possibly gay and biceps Diddy want to you know diddy's like baby and speaking of which I saw post on threads the other day that suggested that Diddy is actually gay was always gay and when his mama saw signs of homosexuality in him She tried to beat that out of him and you know hired women to come molest her son and all this and that's part of the reason why he Has turned into the kind of person that he is now and I haven't seen the documentary for myself apparently There's a line in there something like Jamis wanted a prince and she And Sean just always wanted to be a princess or something like that. I don't know the exact line So don't get me to lie in but I'm gonna watch I mean if I was this terrible of a mother and everybody knew about it. I would be pissed too, but Apparently Mises also pissed because there's some something in there that implies that her son Justin isn't Like puffy is not Justin's biological father and it's actually like a security guard that father Justin And she's like I guess ready to see who's like this with the first y'all talking about and when I read that I'm like What does that have to do with him right? Who cares? I mean, I Don't know true or not. I don't understand what that has to do anything, but I didn't watch it That's not puffy's only kid who's not biologically is so I'm just not tripping off of that. There's worse problems when it comes to that family Kamora Lee says to I think there's this people that she Is basically a mother figure to His kids specifically to his twin daughters Oh, she said this on today with Jenna and friends last Wednesday. Okay. She said that she's got a big family. She's got she got her five of her own kids She's calm. She has a an additional daughter a stepdaughter a bonus son Oh, like a son they're on this new show or something. Oh, yeah, yeah And she said one of my friends who passed away Kim Porter. I have her kids He even though some of them are adults some of them are 18 twins When asked if they come to her she said yeah, they're with me. I just got off the phone with them I'm a lot of people's mom. So when she says with she said I have all of her kids. I'm talking about her friend Kim Porter And she when they asked her again, she said yeah, they're with me when talking about the twins. I'm like This I'm like she has custody of them. I don't know what this yeah when you say oh, yeah I have those their those kids there with me it make it make me I would assume you mean that they stay with you, right? They live with you, right? Right. I would assume that same thing. But if the On the one hand if they're 18 the girls are adults on the other hand They lost their mother at a very pivotal time in adolescence and if they turn to Kamora Then they probably do look at her as like you know that motherly type figure and we all know that people do not turn 18 And suddenly don't need they mama's no more. So And and like she said she has so many children like Kamora. Yeah, I mean in a yokey and that little boy at least and then what you just you just did the whole rundown So it's like what's two more. Yeah them them kids too. Yeah, twins is mine too. Yeah, they all over here. She was already probably giving on And yeah, mm-hmm And so I wouldn't be surprised if she just kind of did step in and And helped kind of fill that role in places, which I think is really beautiful and yeah being 18 even if they are going off into the world And in their own ways and adults. I wouldn't be surprised if if what Kamora is saying just true If it's like oh yeah, I'm gonna go and lay my head down go give me some food or whatever. They go to this Yeah, if they don't still stay right right if they right That's what I'm thinking I thought that was sweet. I also saw a clip of Kamora on a podcast where she was talking about a yokey date in 65 or away. Oh really Very interesting clip it is About three minutes of her doing a song and dance and okay I could tell after a while she was not trying to Say anything Judgmental she was not trying to shut on her daughter and she was not trying to get sued. Okay. I like so At first she but it kind of was giving excuses at first because she was this white woman is take to her like, you know, that was It was just really crazy. It was like a huge moment 'cause everyone saw that. And you're all kind of thinking of the same thing. And if you want to say something like, "Komoros," say something like, you know, like, why did everyone see that? Like, I didn't really, I don't understand why that it was like a thing. 'Cause like, you see that everywhere all the time. And I don't, but okay. I don't see beautiful, nice girl girls with gross looking 65-year-old man, but I'm sure it happens. I think that's our point. - Right. And she also kind of, you know, she kind of went around the edge of having experienced some of that stuff. - Of course she did. - The host said something like, you know, well, it's not like it was like a, it's not like it was like Gleen or Caprio. It was like a 65-year-old 70-year-old. And Komoros was like, this is not the same thing though. And I was like, will host? Don't lose the plot. She was like to whom? - And then she, she still laughed that off. It was kind of like, I'm sorry, Leo. He's gonna be, he's gonna be like, oh, I'm not 65 and I don't look like that. But I think that that's what the woman's point was. Like, Leo's a little bit younger and he's not. - Right, it's not a 40-something, which would still be weird. Like, she went grandpa. I don't know why she couldn't say- - Caprio was 51 years old. - I'm not gonna talk about that. We're not gonna fuck up a Yokey's bag. Okay, Yokey did what she had to do. (laughing) - Eventually, she's kind of like, she says that she found out when everybody else did. She didn't know anything about it. - He since? - She knew that man. - And then he was like a restaurant tourist. So she knew him growing up. She's-- - No! - Okay, that woulda, I'm sorry, that woulda sickened me. - She said that when she spoke to her daughter, that also was like, you pretty like, you know, like what the fuck, what the heck is going on? She was like, well, I didn't say like that because the whole world was kind of saying it like that essentially. So you don't want your mom also then coming in and being like, what the heck is going on? - Right. - So she just tried to just ask her question when you're up. And ultimately, she said that she believed the situation to be predatory. - Yes. - Just with that age gap. And she was like, is that okay for me to say legally? Like, she was doing that. It was a great, she was trying not to, you know, shit on Ayoki. And she was also like, I know this man isn't man on me. I'm not. - That's what makes it so much grosser to me. Like, you saw-- - Ten times worse. - Yeah, I think it's something really depraved about pursuing somebody that you knew when they were a child. Like, you watch this person grow up. That is so disgusting, man. Like, it's millions of 21 year old girls in this world. If you wanted one that fucking bad, you could throw a rock on Instagram and find one. Why a little girl that you watched grow up? That's what sicker, that's even sicker. - Can you watch her mom grow up? - So that's hers from, oh, okay, Ayoki found her rich nigga. You know, I think it's nasty, but let her do her thing to, oh, you were targeted. And so, I see why. Yeah, okay, now come more dancing around. It makes a lot more sense. That context of him knowing her changes everything. - But she did call him a predator essentially, and I was like, correct. - And the last five seconds, last eight seconds, you got there, that is-- - She was like, I was trying not to say it, but how can we say it without me getting in trouble? Yeah. - The more the clip went on, you could tell, this is something that pissed her off, but she was just trying not to get in trouble. - Yeah, and you're finding out the same time as everybody else. Yeah, y'all kept that a secret for a reason. That dirty old man. Yeah, you kept that from her for a reason. Y'all murder. - Right, right, literally, like I, oh, it would have took the whole world. - Let her end up. - Me off of that man. - That was my last hot topic. That's such a gross place to leave it. You play this video game for me. - Okay. - It's called Good Night Universe. It is so beautiful. I don't want to tell you too much. - You look like Good Night Moon. - But you play as a baby. You play as a baby that is very hyper aware, very smart, and it's also a baby, and it's just kind of experiencing this new life. And you kind of like, it's almost look who's talking. Look who's talking. - Yes. - Where you are kind of listening to this baby narrate, coming into the world and meeting these people, and loving these people. It is so hard. I mean, it's like three hours long, so you could play it in an afternoon even a weekend. I cried big cries by the end of it. - It's true. - It's very, very touching. It's very introspective. - I'm excited. - It has like some magic to it. So it's not just, you know what I mean? It's really cute. I think that you'll want to do it. - Okay. - I think it's on Switch. - I'll do that this week. - I played on PlayStation, so you can play it on it. - Yeah, it does say-- - You guys at home too. - Switches out on Switch, so. - Okay, I'ma check that out. - So good, so good, so good. I hope they win awards for it too. The writing is excellent. So yeah, we're gonna leave it there. - Positivity and magic. - Not that nasty old man, but magic babies. - What a fucking, yeah. - Anyway, happy things. - Magic. - Rebecca Sugar. That's it. We're gonna take a break, we'll be right back. We're back, and it is now time for your letters. - Yes, it is. Synger questions to askthereadagemail.com. We may read them a lot on the show. We do have a quick question here from Tess who says, just writing in to ask if Fury has seen the trailer from Mother Mary, and if so, what are his thoughts? - I did watch that trailer, but I don't remember anything about it. That's the one with in-hathways in it. Looks like it's some kind of gothic thing. I watched the trailer for that, but I don't remember anything about it. - Is it scary? Oh, psychological drama, trailer-- It's like a gothic. - Yeah. - Oh, this is the one with Michaela Colt, yes. This looks tea. It looks like some sort of like revenge type movie where, and half the way, yes, I am gonna watch this. And half the way it plays like a super, like a musician, pop star, something like that. And I think Michaela's like an old friend of hers that she goes to to make a gown, but the friend hates her. - We'll read. - For reasons I don't think they discuss. - Okay. - And yeah, I don't know much else outside of that two amazing actors are in it. Michaela's one of the most strikingly beautiful people, I think in the world. And then the photography for this movie looks excellent. And how's Anne Hathaway like a believable pop diva? - Well, she can really say-- - That is a chameleon. - She can sing for real. - Yeah, she really can. So I'm not surprised by this casting. This almost sounds good. She's just like the look of her. She looks like she should be at the Grammy, just in the trailer. - Love that. - Yeah, this looks fun. I'm definitely gonna check this one out. Thank you for reminding me of it. 'Cause I think last time when I, okay, I'm gonna say it anyway. 'Cause Y'all be just crack your eyes open and doom scroll on TikTok. Mine is watching movie trailers. I crack my eyes open sometimes. And I just look at, I open them back, but I start looking at trailers for movies and stuff. This is one of them. Okay. - Sorry Y'all. Thank you for that. - Thank you, Tess. Now, this, we have a letter this week that is a little messy. So last week, we-- - You saying that first makes me-- - Because-- - Because we've had messy ones where you can-- - Well, because this is like a follow up to a letter that was last week. But it's someone else. - So-- (laughing) - Please, I gotta get 'em out. (laughing) So, whoa, yes! - Last week. - Let's do it. - Last week, we had a letter from Tabitha who was like, I was in the hospital when I got out my best friend, Sydney, had been fucking on this girl I liked, Wanda, and we was going back and forth. - Why am I not surprised, Y'all? - So, Sydney wrote in and said, "Hey, Chrisslyn, Kiffurie." (laughing) - Wow. - I'm a long-time fan and supporter, and I have not missed a week since I started listening to you too, even though y'all chewed me up and spit me out in the last episode. I was highly entertained, but-- - We'll stay together. - I don't think y'all got the full picture of what went down between Tabitha and I, and very briefly, at least so. So I'm here to clear the air. Let me start off with the fact that Tabitha introduced me to Wanda and wanted me to meet her because they knew we would hit it off. Yes, I knew that Tabitha-- Oh, I knew Tabitha had a crush on Wanda, but by the time I met Wanda, she and Tabitha had already established that they would be platonic. There is no reality in which Wanda would ever want to date somebody like Tabitha who is extremely polyamorous and was actively dating and fucking multiple people while all this was going on. I want to lean some anogamins like me and we're honestly pretty perfect for each other. She is the safest and most loving real okay, yeah. I originally tried to I'll always go off and how much you love these girls, okay? We get it. I originally tried to friends on Wanda but every time I saw her things would just progress and she honestly makes me really happy. It was hard to deny her love when she treats me right and we're a great match. Our Tabitha was hospitalized, Wanda and I were already going out on dates which Tabitha knew about. Tabitha, now you didn't say that Tabitha. I had asked Tabitha how they would feel about seeing about me seeing Wanda and their response was I'm not sure how I would feel but that they didn't want to block my blessing so I let things flow. Tabitha. As you know with the Liga Bigotiga plus plus these dates happen consecutively and often we went on like 12 days before we finally I was trying to wait but things just happened. Was I really expected to make my girl wait forever? I even told Tabitha as soon as they got out of the hospital because I didn't want them to find out from somebody else so I'm not sure how much more accountable I could be. I also did not just show up to a friends party with my new Boo. I showed up to my best friend's birthday party that I helped coordinate at Pride in the park. Tabitha. My best friend was excited to meet my new Boo who makes me very happy and had given me the okay to bring Wanda despite knowing that Tabitha would also be there and I wasn't about to leave Bayhaw while I was at Pride. At the end of the day, I was concerned about my best friend's feelings more on their birthday and I feel like Tabitha should have understood that. And regarding Tabitha's party that I texted her about going to it was actually their siblings Halloween pre-game party which just so happened to be hosted at Tabitha's house. I got uninvited day of because Tabitha suddenly couldn't bear to see me after weeks of putting me off. We had been trying to discuss our friendship and even met in person to talk things out and this is where they told me that they could not be happy for me. However, Tabitha's schedule was hectic and they were going through a lot so I was trying not to be pushy. Uninviting me on the day of after telling me a few days before that it was okay for us to share a space was my last straw since in my eyes this drama was unnecessary. Tabitha was making it seem like me letting someone pursue me and treat me right was a crime. So yes, I did end our friendship abruptly through text but I was honestly tired of them telling me that they couldn't be happy for me and that I was a terrible friend. God forbid a gay have some boundaries. And lastly, but most importantly, Tabitha basically did this exact same thing to me last summer where they pursued one of my crushes. Oh, Tabitha be hooked up with my crush and immediately after like the next day Tabitha declared their love to my crush Tabitha stays trying to claim every crush I have even though they be hooking up with the whole city and a half like damn okay and I get a chance to be happy too. I don't even participate in gay culture these days because it's so messy and I've been waiting to be with someone who just wants to be with me. That is also lesbian. I told Tabitha that their entitlement to crushes is weird and I think there needs to be some accountability to that but poly people will do whatever they want to in the name of freedom or whatever I guess. Whatever they be doing over there with their poly animals, bullshit and they're all fucking all. I'm not sure why Tabitha Rocha leaving out all these very key details expecting this not to get back to me and honestly though Tabitha needs to grow up. They're almost 40 and still acting out like they got all the time in the world to be ruining good friendships over petty childish drama almost missed out on one of the best relationships of my life had I given Tabitha their way. But I wasn't going to do that again, especially not with somebody this great. If they want to ice me out of their life for a crush, they had a three weeks over our four year friendship then so be it. But I'm happy where I'm at and that's that they don't miss me. They miss me bending my boundaries for them and it's sad to realize that after four years but I couldn't keep somebody in my life who made me feel like a bad person for just living. Anyway, thanks for listening. I just had to say something since here in my story get twisted on the only podcast I listened to was not on my 2025 bingo card. I'm always rooting for and raving about you. Please let me know if you really think I'm in the wrong because so far all of our mutual seem to be on my side and they think Tabitha is just having big messy feelings. If y'all still think I'm an inconsiderate shitty friend, I will still be a fan. I promise thanks Sidney. I promise you wouldn't need to tell me I'm going to say what I want. Right. It's incredible though. Thank you. Wow. I just adore it. Tabitha, how could you? Tabitha, maybe Tabitha just wanted to hear some people drag Sidney and so you said clearly about all the context. Clearly they're going to be on my side, yeah, and I'm going to make sure they own my side. Oh, damn Tabitha. So hold on. So she actually started dating baby boo before you enter the house. And you knew they had a crush on baby boo, but that was put the rest when it was decided that y'all would just be cool then one day in Sidney started dating. You didn't tell us that y'all didn't tell us that you did this same shit to her, but worse. Because you actually don't know her crush, but she was still crush on to be like that. Everything that you said to us was going to be something your point is. Yeah. I'm not think Tabitha knows that had we had this information, baby. Who would have been telling you you're tripping like it seems like all your friends are. Exactly. So, um, gosh, Sidney, I just want to say thank you for emailing us your side of the story. I don't. Sometimes I think y'all think that we are like, we cush you out and then we're like, you know, six months later thinking, oh, you remember that bitch Sidney, no, I, these letters vanish from my mind as soon as we're done recording. Six hours waiting for me. I promise you, I was not holding this against you or anything like that. You know, I don't, these are probably all fake names. I don't know what none of y'all look like. I would never hold this against you, but I do appreciate the extra context here. Um, and of course, my advice would change knowing all of this now. It sounds like, of course, I was like, y'all just don't need because our main thing, I think our main thing with, with her when we listen to Tabitha's letter was how inconsiderate she was. Yes. And it was like, oh, bitch, y'all one thing, like I considered everything and honestly, even just though we went on dates before Tabitha was hospitalized and Tabitha knew that. That alone, like you don't even, you didn't even need to read this. Yeah. That's considerate and hidden you up and telling you directly, hey, while you were hospitalized, it went from just dating to this is my boo. And she said, we met because old girl thought we would be a good, yes, introduced us because of Wanda is more monogamous than and she not with all this, you fucking somebody different every other night. So it was never going to work out night with your Lord, Lord, Lord. I'm sorry. If you're poly, right, can't, doesn't mean you don't have a crush, it doesn't mean you don't have feelings, but baby cakes get in the field. Don't you have a three week crush versus your ring? Okay. I would think that if you were poly and sexually active, that, you know, miss one bus next 15 one coming, hey, get under to get over. Am I right? Ladies and gentlemen. What are we talking about? Oh, the ladies, ladies and gays have got to get it together. This is so, I just, I saw this in the inbox and I was like, my nipples are so happy. That's incredible. Yeah. So thank you. And so gay, she was really gay, really gay. Okay. Now this bitch tried it because I know she know I listened to podcast and it's the only podcast I listened to. So you wrote in knowing I would hear it, and you just didn't think I would actually send an email, my down self quick news flash tab that, that wide web, it's for the world. It's for the whole world. I'm on it too. I'm on it too. I can email them. I'm saying niggas. I can't. And I, and I did. So maybe y'all just don't need to talk. No. No. Cause at this point, I don't, I mean, not I don't know who to believe, but y'all are having. Well, I definitely believe so. Y'all are. That's really right, because city's like, she didn't, you know, Tabitha didn't lie. What Tabitha did do was not tell y'all the full truth. There's left out. That's called a live. It is. It is called that. So, um, this was fun. Thank you so much. All of those things are like, why would she do? Yeah. And he said, I didn't. I wouldn't. You right. Why would I do that? I literally would not. So considerate. She brought her to our friend's party and our friend don't even know that person you even knew. Why did you never make wonder before me while I helped plan this party. I spoke to my home girl. It's my best fucking friend. You left that part out too. Oh, she just. Right. I brought one to a mutual friend party. That is Sydney's best friends party that she helped plan and it was at Pride in the park. So not even some private venue, but like Pride where thousands of days are roaming, like, okay, tab. (laughing) - You're a little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, you're a little scam, aren't you, Tabitha? - Oh, I see that. - Best of luck as everybody goes along their merrily gay way. We have a letter here from Rose, who says, "Hi, Fury and Crystal." My husband and I met in grad school as a litmus test before meeting my whole family. I introduced him to my brother and they hit it off. By the time we were married two years later, my husband and brother had developed a close friendship. Over the last seven years, they've taken boy strips together, started a small business, and my husband was even in my brother's wedding. Everything was great. What my brother and family didn't know at first was that my husband was emotionally abusive. It all came out over a year ago and my brother has not let it go. We've been in couples counseling and my husband truly has gotten better and all of my family have accepted it or at least they do a good job of acting like they accept it. My brother couldn't believe I kept everything from him and doesn't understand why I'm still with him. He says I shouldn't be surprised by his contempt because this is the same brother who cut off a friend that cheated on his wife and still doesn't have a good relationship with our uncle who committed domestic violence against his girlfriend. He wants nothing to do with my husband. Their friendship is now non-existent and their business is only being run by my brother at the moment. He recently told us that he got a lawyer to officially dissolve the partnership. I feel like my brother should be happy that my husband and I worked things out. He has truly changed and I wouldn't still be with him if he wasn't working on himself. We were once a big happy family and now that is torn apart. How can I or my husband show my brother that we are in a good space or do y'all think this is a lost cause? Thanks, Rose. - Thank you, Rose, for this one. I don't know if we've. - I'm sure we've gotten letters from people who are like, "This person I love hates the person that I'm with, but I love. " - I'm just glad it didn't turn into my brother and my husband started fucking. That's what I was scared of. So, I was just knowing this show. - You were gonna say I thought was fighting. - Well, sound like they might actually. - Yeah, it sounded like that was really fun. - Christmas is gonna be a little uncomfortable. - That would have been a really good follow-up so that last update letter, though. - I think this is tricky 'cause I'm trying to empathize with you, but I feel very, very connected to your cut. - Same. - I'm so sorry if you decide to stay with someone that abused you as someone who loves you and especially blood that loves you. I'm sorry, hate is going to be a sign of this nigga for the rest of his living days. If you divorced and I'd hate that nigga, I'd probably spit it in here apart. So, to the like, I think that you're going to. It is probably wiser for you and your quest to peace to just make peace with the fact that your brother hates this nigga and there is nothing that you can do about it because he hates that man for good reason. You can love him, you can stay with him, that's your choice. And at best, you know, putting myself issues, at best, I'm gonna like respect you as an adult and your adult decision making and that you've decided to stay. And by that, I mean, I'm not going to bug you about your relationship by every chance I get. When we come together for Christmas, I'm going to do my very best to not like start a situation that's going to cause you strife, you know. For me, that means that might mean knowing where this nigga is going to be, if he's going to be there, and not also. - Yeah, rule number one, don't have us in the same room. - But I think trying to get your brother to be happy for you is wild. Like, it's pretty wild. I think that your brother is completely vows in his reasoning and I think that it's, I can't even think of the word. It's just, this is wild to try and convince him to be cool with someone he knows of you. - Right, right. - At best, I'm just not going to punch him in the face every time I see him. - Yeah, you know, I honestly feel the same way. Like, I'm really, I have empathy for you because the vibes were great before and now that everybody knows the truth, the vibes are fucked up and that sucks. On the other hand, I highly identify with your brother as well. Like, I think the best you gonna get out of me is apathy. The best you gonna get out of me is neutrality. - Yeah. - Everybody's here for Christmas. - Complete endurance. - And I just, right, I just don't speak to this person. Don't look at that person. Do not engage with them in any kind of way. You know, when we all holding hands to pray before dinner, that nigga can't be nowhere near me because I'm not touching that nigga. - Hey, et cetera, you know, that's the best you gonna get out of me because. - And respect that that is gonna be a journey. - Yes. - When Molly Carter said it's the crime. - I have to get there. - Did you say Molly Carter? - My list I created. - I like Molly Carter, I'm a insecure. - They did one song. They did one song. - Yeah, so Rose, I think, you wanting them to be buddy buddy again. Let that, it's time to let that go. Yeah, it sound like your brother is very strict about men mistreating women. And honestly, we need more to thank. He cut off a friend who cheated on his wife. Wow, I wouldn't even do that. (laughing) I wouldn't even cut, well, depending on why. But I probably wouldn't cut off a friend for cheating on her husband, that's our business. This nigga is for real. He don't play that. He don't have a good relationship with your uncle who beat on his girlfriend, like he stands on that shit. So, good, right. We need more men to feel that way about women being mistreated. So. - Guess what, your husband losing a friendship with your brother, your brother hating this nigga, your brother maybe wanting to put hands on this nigga, never having anything good to say about this nigga. It's a consequence of your husband being mistreated. - Exactly that. - If he's better now, if he's grown, if he's done, you're in couple's therapy on Paramount. And everything is, you know, it's on the up and up. - Yeah, y'all in there with Dr. Horna. - The dissolution of that friendship relationship with your brother is just a consequence of that. Some people, for instance, are like, have substance abuse issues. You know, when they're parenting someone young or whatever and completely traumatize them, whatever that person grows. If that kid, as an adult, is like that person's dead to me, whatever. - I get it. - If when they change their mind, that is up to, but you are going to have to deal with the consequences of your actions. - There are consequences. - That's not it. - Yeah. (laughs) - There are consequences. This reminds me of that show, Mom, that starred Anna Ferris. - Oh, yeah, Anna Ferris. - And the tall woman. What's the tall lady's name? - Alison Janney. - Alison Janney. - Yes, Alison. - Anyway, that show was great. It was about a bunch of women, this group of like five women who were all dealing with recovering from alcohol and drug abuse and their struggles. And in one episode, so the main character has a couple of the kids, her eldest daughter really went through it when her mom was drinking and on drugs. Like had to step up and act like an adult at a very young age. And so she starts a podcast, she grows up, moves out, you know, the daughter does. And starts a podcast talking about her experiences as the child of an alcoholic. And so her mama Anna Ferris hears about this podcast and so she comes over and she's like, you know, can I tell my side of the story? And so she sits down, she does this whole interview with the daughter talking about. And at the end, the daughter says, you know what? This is, it sounds like you're in a really great place now. I'm really happy for you. This is the exactly the type of work that you needed to do. It's great. And at the same time, nobody can take back the fact that I was cleaning up puke and didn't know if I would come home and you would be dead or whatever else. I'm cooking meals and shit and I'm eight. years old and paying light bills. And nobody can change my childhood. I was supposed to be a kid and I never got to have that. And so, no, you cannot have me in your life. I'm doing really well without you. And that's just that. And on affairs couldn't do nothing but eat that. You can't do nothing with that because it's true. People can, your husband may have been doing all this great work over the past year. He genuinely may have. And your brother don't have to accept that. Again, I'm thinking neutrality is the best you can ask for here. My husband's coming for Christmas. Please just don't, I'm asking you to just not start nothing. That's all I'm asking. Just, if you can pretend he's not there, I would really appreciate it. But wanting to them to be buddy, buddy, and running their small business together and going on, you know, boy trips or whatever, them days is over because now he knows how your husband really was. And that you can't, he shouldn't be making it about him, but also, like if he already said, sometimes people do need time to adjust to something like that. And I don't know how long it would take me to adjust to my sister's husband being an abuser. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's the thing. In time, he could be like some years from now. He could be like, hey, let's have a conversation. Let's meet you tomorrow. Sit him down in the backyard at the cook out somewhere, cuss him the fuck out. Hopefully, if your husband actually grew, he said, right, because what can you do? They shake hands and now they're cordial. They chit chat over a beer when the, you know what I mean? And, and you're good. But I think what we're saying is you have the respect where your brother is at, at with it. And at the most, what you can ask for is, yes, the apathy and just being like, at least let's not incite that. So, you know, let's, let's try that in that start shit. Not a chap, maybe not a hook. Maybe not an uppercut. I'm just saying, but yeah, you got it. I'm, look. (laughs) And like, hey, you said that shit too. Like, you should walk, but it's gonna be like, I don't fuck with nobody who abused my sister or. I can't hear the other word. So, and so my uncle that you think that don't go double or triple for my fucking sister, nigga. You not my sister. Yeah, which one you say, sorry, your brother loves you and don't appreciate you being mistreated like, (laughs) yeah, baby. I think you, you gotta kind of let go of that dream that things are gonna be all hunky-dory. One big happy family, you know, hallmarked movie again, 'cause yeah, that's not reality. And, and saying, well, you know, I wouldn't be with my husband if he hadn't switched it up. It's probably not gonna have an effect on your brother because you were with your husband when he was still acting like that. So. Right. Just, yeah, good luck. I'm gonna find out afterwards and knowing that you didn't, it was going on and you didn't mess about it. You think of countless times, yeah. Cool. Yeah, you gotta give him a break on that one, sorry. Yeah. But best of luck to you, Rose. I do genuinely hope you and your husband are in a good place in that he's getting the help he needs in that maybe one day. Because if he is doing that, it will show in the way he acts. Yes. It will show in the way he peaks. You will see a shift in his behavior. And so maybe if he is consistently doing that, then your brother will be like, okay, let's go have, let's go have this conversation where we might fight and we might not. (laughing) That's great. Good luck, though, babe. Thanks for writing in, please do update us, let us know. Or, you know, if your Rose's brother and you have your sat in the story, you can go ahead and eat. Yes, please. Let's make that a thing. (laughing) No, let me tell you exactly what that negative mean. We are on your side, brother. Yeah, we are. All right, so that's gonna wrap up the letters this week. If you have a question for us, send that on over to [email protected]. We're gonna take a quick break and be right back. All right, folks, we're back. It is now time for three, as much as we list our letters. All right, I just wanna talk about this Netflix thing. Okay. Wait, oh, the buying thing. Hollywood is on life support. Okay. And it's not looking great. And I'm just fucking exhausted. So if you haven't heard because you were big blessed, Netflix is reportedly closing a deal to acquire Warner Brothers for like 80 something billion dollars or whatever. Which gag me, 'cause I thought I'd earn money. But that would be Warner Brothers, their films, sinners was Warner Brothers, weapons was Warner Brothers, Superman, all the DC stuff. That would include HBO and HBO Maxine. That would include what's the other girl over there? Basically everything underneath the Warner Brothers umbrella. Netflix plans to purchase them. And I'm like, oh great, that's exactly what we need. The folks currently producing Squid Game America to take over prestige film and television. Like Netflix, king of losing the plot. Okay, so get ready to see, you know, the devil wears Prada part two or whatever. I don't even know if that's Warner Brothers. But get ready to see that at your local EMC for 60 hours before it goes straight up to your app. Prepare to pay upwards of $35, $40 a month, $50 a month. For the basic packaging over there. It's just, it's a blast. I'm having so much fun. It's also delicious to hear that, you know, NEPO baby shark, the little Ellison over there is like, oh, while we got a hundred something billion dollars for it, we'll take it. None of you bitches are creative. None of you bitches give a fuck about creativity. None of you bitches hit give a fuck about talent. Photos, video, none of that shit. You're just playing Monopoly with dreams, with people's dreams and art. It's boring, it's late, it's AI field. I'm completely over it. And I honestly don't give a fuck who, I'm out you bitches, buys this, Warner Brothers. I'm just trying to lean into the light. I'm lightening up towards the end of this year. And I'm looking at a half full, yes. And I know that, let me tell you something, Hollywood's been pretty soulless and uninspired for a while. We still got suit, scissors. (laughs) We still got suit. (laughs) Scissoring on some scissor being. But yeah, through it all, there's always an open door and always an open window. There'll always be people who are gonna make them old, break them old, things like that. It's just typical capitalism and grossness. And I think this particular president has a popularized, a repopular, I don't know if that's right. He's, you know, making greasy palms great again. - Yeah, sure, why not? - Here's, if you know what two and two is, show me the money, I can't tell that. I have a lot of it. And I pay people to count. - This is what Joel Santana was talking about. - Now that was so boring. I still haven't watched a couple of that 'cause I'm just like trying to wrap my mind around the factory. - Don't even do that to yourself, legit, don't do it. - I don't think I can. - It's really stupid. - So dumb. - Like why? - Idiot. - Would you do that? I would, you do that. If it was like math, maybe I'd be like, all right, 'cause a lot of, but reading, you should want to. - Negus. - You should just want to know how. Everywhere there are words. And all of them mean something. Sometimes important things, right? Like you can't bring a glass into L.A.s. (laughing) Or John that's got any fucking airborne. You better off with a sack full of marijuana than one gun. (laughing) And I am just telling you the truth. (laughing) A little bit of cannabis in my head. - They don't give up on your ass and the whole thing and tell you bitch, well you're not making this flight. But thank you for the week. We are getting blazed tonight. Every day, you know, God bless you. Hey, God. I'm girl, you're going right to the Pokey. - Yeah, this whole shit is really jolly me crazy. And I'm letting you know Netflix right now. Don't you put my Maxine inside your Netflix? You better do exactly what Disney Plus just did and give me some tabs, okay? So I can switch over to my glue, I can switch over to my Disney Plus. And the USP is over there when I'm feeling very bitch. So. The sad song but she's like, this happens never. I'm never, when are you ever? - It does it. Boxing in M.M.A. - All right, violence. - Yeah, fiber. - Oh, and Tanya, I watch Tanya. - Oh, okay, well, I like Tanya. - Also, and I want to be a little bit lighter with this because some of y'all have sicknesses, right? But the drinking and driving, we've got to put a lid on it. - Not to y'all, what are we doing? - We've got to put a lid on the drinking and the driving. There's just no excuse for it anymore. There really never was. But like, girl, all the rideshare apps. - You cannot just cannot, I'm sorry. - And the US alone, about 12,400 people die from joint driving crashes a year are just rare on Google. Roughly 30% of all traffic deaths. And that's not including the thousands of additional injuries. Don't, it's for what? I think many people above a certain age who've been driving most of their life can say, oh, I had a little bit too much to drink and I should've been driving. I was a little buzzed off of two drinks or whatever. But you girls are getting plastered and grabbing your keys on, just don't get it. Please stop. And if you need help, find it. Matter of fact, what's the number? - Oh, you mean like legit, the hotline number. Yeah, yeah, 'cause this is, again, with rideshare apps, if you have to budget the cost of a rideshare into your night of going out, you just have to, sorry. Or listen, we're like New York, where you can just stumble onto the train for $3.00 at 4 a.m. and it might take you an hour and a half to get home, but bitch, you'll get there and not hurt nobody else in the process. - This is giving me 9-1-1. - Oh, damn, they said emergency. - Yeah, but like I think that you can just Google, like alcohol help, alcohol addiction help, alcohol anonymous, 'cause a lot of these are specific to different states, cities, counties, sorts of things like that. But maybe nobody else has set it, run your bail, sometimes you need a stranger bitch to say it. If you need some help with the drinking, go please give peace of trance. But don't go to the steering wheel of a car, enough. Girl. - Try findtreatment.gov. It's part of SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. To you know, just find somebody, 'cause yeah, 9-1-1-9-8, that is really for crisis stuff, but yeah. - Yeah. - Okay, let me. - Sydney Sweeney, step to the front. - What now, jugs? (laughing) - Well, you remember like a month or two ago when she sat down and had that interview and the lady asked her about all the backlash and she was like, I think when I have something to say, I'll say it. - I'll say it. - Well, apparently now that her third movie has flopped in a row. She has decided she has something to say. And unsurprisingly, that something is, oh my God, you guys, I never meant white supremacy. Like why would I be talking about that? So she said she was shocked by the reaction. She did the ad because she loves the jeans, she loves the brand, she doesn't support the views that some people chose to connect to the campaign and that you know, you guys have just been putting all kinds of motives and labels on her that just aren't true, you know. She leads with kindness and everybody who knows her and her jugs knows that she is always trying to bring people together, okay? She is against hate and divisiveness and sure in the past, her stance was not to respond to you Niggas talking shit because who cares? But recently she's come to realize after her third consecutive movie flop that her silence regarding this issue has only made things worse. And so hopefully now in the new year because she is promoting yet another film. Hopefully now y'all will let it go and go see her movies so that she can continue to be booked and to have a job. And to all that I want to say Sidney Swinney, it is extremely hollow for you to have this message now. Went again, if this is on the heels of that movie was it Christy? The movie about the boxer that just came out that movie made like, I don't know, $10,000 or something, something terrible. So it wasn't good. Well, and I've heard that same thing that Sidney Swinney had no business playing that girl. That's the exact same thing I've heard. So it sounds kind of like she take whatever job she can get which I mean, I'm not necessarily mad at that. In particular, a lot of us would but to be like, oh, well, now several months later, you know, five, six months later, I'm finally going to respond to this and say, some people said things that I didn't really agree with about it and I don't know why you guys are acting like that because I wear jeans like I literally wear jeans every day. Like I'm wearing jeans in a T-shirt like I love jeans. She that is what she said. And I'm just saying you weren't even specific enough. You didn't even say, oh my God, I didn't even think that it could be interpreted as jeans like genetic DNA type of jeans, oh my goodness. Yeah, how could I stand against white supremacy? I stand against Donald Trump and all the people. You didn't even get that specific. You just said people said things that weren't true and I don't believe in hate and divisiveness. So everybody be nice and come together. Girl, fuck that and fuck you. American Eagles said the same thing after the backlash was basically like, this is just about jeans and that's exactly what y'all would say to get us to let it go. You really want me to believe that nobody, all the extremely overpaid people who had to be in the room to develop this concept, to write a script, to set up a shoot and to spend probably multiple days working on, like for sure. And you want me to believe that nobody saw, huh? He's like two days, nobody said, hmm, it kind of gives white supremacy. No, you, you did it because it gives white supremacy because it has two meanings because if there was backlash, you could just lean on the, oh my god, it's about jeans. Why are y'all weird? That's literally why you did it. And that's why you did it with Sidney Goddamn Swiney and not a lingerie or some shit. That's literally what the thing is. Right, right. Just cut the shit, okay? American Eagles don't care because the white supremacists went and bought up on him jeans. So they said y'all can be mad as you want to the shit of selling. Sidney Swiney has a problem because it turns out that the homosexuals who support film and television don't appreciate that bullshit. And you need us to go back to the movies and spend tickets on your things. It won't be me, darling. It won't be me. I personally feel like I can see right through this bullshit. But not anything where you're leading. No, you better go get you. No, not one single. You have to be in small print and not on the poster. I didn't even know you was in it until it was too late. For me to see how Sidney, yeah. (laughing) All right, you know what I'm saying? I just don't know why you guys are being so weird. Where was all of this when it first happened? Like, if I accidentally, like if I mistakenly said something that had a double meaning rooted in, do we really even have to do this? Like, it just seems like the sort of thing that you either care strongly about or you don't. You heard the way all these races were talking about your ad and the way the maggots swirled around it and you just ate it up. I would have been sick at the idea that Donald Trump approved of something I did. And Vomity heard people, agents management whoever were probably like, oh, this is so good for price and so good for blah, blah, blah. We have this movie coming out. The same way them saying people are probably like, you know, say something. Yeah, we know that you love Trump and you hate Niggas, but like, just say something that kind of gives, you know, like, mystery, just, you know, give him a little something but don't give him too much or something, whatever. And that's exactly what this is. It is. But I feel the same way. It's like, girl, them ads were not like playing two-pog backwards and here we had message beach. It was the double meaning was the ads. You literally say jeans. I passed out. That way. And they're included. How come out and they said I'm yeah, uh, what the fuck I got to do with these bitch like you know what that was you're not that damn John neither is anybody else for that comedy exactly that why are you trying to piss on people? So again, I see right through this bullshit, but you had to do something because Yeah, that happened and then also very quickly subject the entertainer girl for what? No You said earlier that celebrities have been talking about the puffy documentary. I thought she was gonna bring this up. I'm glad you didn't He was talking to a big boy and big boy was like, oh my god Have you heard about the puff documentary and said it was like no, but I'm gonna just say this this how I feel about it It said I really feel like you know puff got ran over in this whole situation. They made a big aspect of this It's not that big of a deal, you know By the end of the trial, I just feel like everybody knew that you know This was just stuff that consenting adults can do and he really should have been in trouble for the Cassie video Like you need to do time for that be known that woman like that But otherwise, you know, this is just stuff that any adults can do with consent And I would just like to say that is the whole point Drugging people and sexually assaulting them as a literal opposite of consent It's just as it is kidnapping people and holding them against their will in order to terrify their friends and family or get Whatever else you want out of them That is not consent the whole problem is that consent wasn't a part of this you write He can have whatever kind of freaky ass or just he wants to with people of all sexes and genders and whatever the fuck else as long as everybody It's 18 plus and consenting you can do whatever the fuck you want sexually he did not have consent That's what we're talking about sad drink. So I don't understand how you feel like puffy got a raw deal out of this and all the stuff They said he did you know that was just freaky stuff and consenting adults can do what they want that That's literally what we're saying that consent wasn't a part of this that he coerced people that he Drugged people like that he went to links to get people Outside of them saying hey puff. I would like to do XYZ sex things with you also allegedly recorded sexual things happening without People are passed out and Okay, so like just Right, like what are you talking about? This is not a secret. I don't know why it's so hard for y'all to understand that like I Said don't even know why he said that like blackmailing people none of that is consensual the murders What are you saying Guys, then like what are you so Cedric? I just really wish you had said. Oh, man I heard he's he's cuz he said oh somebody told me about the guy. They clearly shot this Before the dot came out and big boy was like always coming out and Cedric said oh somebody told me about that last night. You know, that's crazy blah blah. I don't know if I'm a watch it, but you know The I was sending my best to all the victims that Cassie video was crazy something like that You could have just kept it like that or you could have said oh I didn't know nothing about it, but blah blah like There's just so many avenues for you to take other than well, you know most of this really not that big of a deal and y'all just making a lot out of nothing consenting adults blah blah blah blah. It's like you didn't even consider the reality that consent wasn't a part of what that Nigger was doing over there with that take that take that shit like that What is what's not clicking? I don't know also There are so many men are so stupid examples of Niggas making this porjusses. Yeah That I don't know why niggas are so it's so strange to me. I cannot understand it, but Yeah, I said let me go ahead and throw Cedric over here too. Yeah, because you could just not nigger It honestly makes me wonder what's in your closet, but I'll leave that alone Because it could be nothing and it could just be one man sticking up for another man because that's what y'all do Right, that's the first thing I think I was like y'all go back blah blah blah You have some sort of connections friends. Yeah, but it's like you should be like man Man on the nothing about that that Cassie video was crazy, but yeah, you know, what what what else you got on it on your good notepad Anything but what you're doing.
