[Music] Beast, how dare you? I let you into my home. I will never get old. It just comes to me every now and then. It's like, oh my god, that was just so dramatic. It was so passionate, but it's also like, she's a soap star. So it was that too. Oh, classic, great stuff. Hello, everyone. I am Ericinson Claire. And I am Eartha Kitt and this is the read. Thank you for joining us. Compromise. Compromise? Steep it. She called that being a stupidity. So his face and she looked disgusted at the very idea. She was, she was like, first of all, I'm Eartha Kitt. Secondly, I'm big girl. Why would a man be there? Are you stupid, bitch? Bro, if you don't shut the fuck up. What an eye come in. Rest in peace. All right, girls, guys and bees and all of you pets in the room who have to put up with us as well. Let's get things started with some black excellence. This week black excellence is going to Dr. Gladys West recently passed away at the age of 95. Dr. Gladys West is a very famous pioneer in mathematics. She went to Virginia State College in the 30s. Now Virginia State University, obviously she had a bachelor's and master's in mathematics. She was hired at the Naval Service Warfare Center in Virginia and in the 1970s and 80s was creating accurate models of the Earth's shape that was based on satellite data. And this was basically the groundwork for what is now known as global, global positioning systems or GPS for short. So this beautiful black goddess is the reason that you know how to get to Trite House. That aircrafts know where they are. That emergency services can get to that burning building or whatever. Yeah, that any of us can get around this. That any of us know where we go. Right. And then we don't have to use mapquests. Exactly. And mapquests too. You have to print out 20 pages of directions before you left the house. It's a lady. A man. Yes, and she was oh you so just what an icon and and I hope you take your rest and you know job well done and all of that what a legend. Yeah, I'm also going to give a little honor to the LSU Tigers, not an all black dance group, but they represent Louisiana State University. And I just saw a video of their contributions to the UDA nationals. So they did a hip-hop performance of like it was like a medley from Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl performance. Oh, incredible. Incredible. Incredible costumes. They did a jazz performance to oops, I did it again by Britney Spears and their outfits were like the remember she did that like nude outfit. The M.A.s and everybody's acting like she did core. Yeah, it didn't look like they were responding like they were representing that. Okay. Also incredible choreography. The lines, the synchronicity. I love her face. I think that they placed second. So I would love to know beat them. But you know from the comments, I saw everyone was like Rob first in my heart, so on and so forth. I just wanted to give them a shout out because I love dance and y'all ate this up. The crowd was like jumping up and down. Right. Like they were having really good time. So shout out to you. So I was Louisiana and all of the thing. I gotta go check that out. Now, this is a pop culture segment that we call high tops. This is a fuck show. I gotta really care about a lot of this stuff. And so a lot of it is super random. But let's just get into it. Okay. That Williams is still trawling Steve Harvey. He hates this sticker. He posted a video. Clit of this little baby. Cute little baby boy who's I guess getting ready for a band. Get ready for bed. He's got on his pigeons. So my parents call pajamas. And I was like, what did she say? I wonder how she wearing it. I have a question. Who can't mind with the King Jr. Steve Harvey. Why? Okay. Thanks for the information. His mom said, wow. Okay. Thanks for that information. It's the hair line. It throws children off. They don't know what they look in it. Steve, why did you say that? Right. Why would you? Kids are so fucking crazy. Why? How do we? And I must have been trying to do something. I'm sicked up. Okay. Yeah. It must have been some meme that he's seen. Or maybe someone sent it to him. To be honest with you. Like, oh, look at this thing about this nigga. You were making fun of it. Right. Everyone ever decided to post it too. Of course, this is a necessary and petty. But the cat Williams of it for me is not the story. The story is this adorable little boy for whatever reason. It is dropped into this conspiracy that it was all Steve Harvey's fault. I mean, I know Steve Harvey is like a grown man old nigga, but not that old. Like, he must have watched you guys serve. I know he was like excuse the fuck out of me. It's weird bitch. Yeah. I mean, and I would love to know how that child decided in his mind that Steve Harvey did it. Like, I just want to know what he heard that then in his in his brain, starting to Steve Harvey committed this assassination. But okay. All right. Rihanna was recently spotted leaving before season's hotel when her bodyguard for whatever reason allowed the door to the hotel. You see that smack her upside her down week as she was walking out. And she was recorded saying, oh, such a gentleman you are. Before you let her in the car, baby, the next day that she walked out of that same establishment, not one but two. There we go. Grown man. We're holding those doors open for her. What was he even going like nigga, were you thinking like you, did you forget you had a job? What are you doing? I'm walking out of the dentist and I hold the door open for whoever's right. Right. You're the bodyguard. I don't know why you would. I don't know why you wouldn't hold the door open for her like a stranger would write a strange. It's very weird. That is weird. Was the same bodyguard there or was she like, you know, your services actually no longer needed. I actually didn't even notice if it was one of the bodyguards. I never see that man again. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we never see that man again. Strange. Oh, okay. Well, that's a step too far. It's somebody even made a compilation of a few times that people have looked this happens around. Like I was shocked. Someone was like, this isn't the first time we haven't been hit by a door. And then they proceeded to post like four different clips where this is happened. Okay. Well, the internet never rests. It's okay. Sure. Wow. What is with the social reaches. I don't know. Is it? I mean, I don't know. I don't even know what to make. I don't even know what to make that. It's just what a strange fact. I'm just finished, I guess. I don't really know. Yeah. This one was interesting. She, you know, Arnold was on a podcast with Dion Cole. And she talked about the one and only time that she dated a white man. And it was this man named Brian Austin Green. What? Apparently famous. You don't know who Brian Austin Green is. I promise you baby girl. No clue. He was on one of them white shows. I googled. He was on Beverly Hills. Yes. That's the one. I never watched. That's the one. I just know his name. Because the white girls I went to school were obsessed with him. I didn't even recognize the name. I looked at the picture. I was like, I do not know who this one is. I looked up old. pictures of them like when what she's saying what they dated was like the prime of Martin. Wow, she's always been beautiful. So someone wanted to date her. It's not surprising. And I looked at pictures of him like I guess around the same time. I was like, oh, yeah, this is a good looking one, man. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He was very cute in the 90s. To Sheena said that she essentially stopped dating him. She broke up with him because she said, I notice that you're running around with a lot of sisters. But you're not going to marry one. Like you're not. And this isn't really going anywhere. Like I know ultimately you're going to choose a life with a white woman. And I. Well, and this is Brian Austin green then went on to marry Megan Fox. He is now engaged to another white woman. Oh, like so. There we go. She wasn't wrong about that. She was like, no. And then she wanted to be like, I just like black man. I just do. I like. Yeah. But it was cute for the time. And he was but she's had no complaints about him either. She was like, he was nice. And she was, it was, I guess what Justin Timberlake. Yeah. Yeah. And she's like, you have your Negro face right now. I know what this is. No. And you are not for real about us. Right. You are not for real about us. Wow. Look at what people can get away with before social media and, and, uh, camera phones, smartphones with fucking cameras and internet and all of the type of shit on it. Because we would have never known this like true. Never. We would have never known this. Has she not told us? But okay. I mean, I bet that was really, I bet D. R. Cole was cutting up when he heard that he was trying to give her her to for it. But it was, it was, I was like, hello. Yeah. I do actually see it. I can, I can picture that. And I can picture her being like, you are just having your moment and you are not for real. So I'm a move all. I'm done. Right. Yeah. Work. I loved here. Very valid. Kevin Gates is currently dating a woman named Jaleni Tahada, or maybe Tijada. I'm assuming that H that jails. I was like an H for some reason. They were doing an interview on, oh, no jumper. I don't even know what the fuck these people are. But they're, I guess talking about their relationship and Kevin was saying like when he first met her, she was kind of a tomboy. And he was trying to like do this weird dance. And she just kind of came out and was like, I was gay. Like, I was fully gay. And he basically turned me straight. And then they all started laughing. And he's like, I didn't want to say it. But like, sure. And so then they're sitting across the two from like these two other people like that. Maybe they're the host of the bar. And the guy turns to the girl sitting next to him. Not Kevin Gates girlfriend. Since turns to girl next to him is like, have you, are you like, do you miss with girls or you whatever? Like she's not, she didn't say nothing. Okay. And she was like, no, I'm, I'm just straight. If it like a two beats later, she's like, are you to the guy who asked her, like, do you miss the wrong guy? And he was like, no, he almost looked like, how dare you? She was like, well, you asked me. So I just like, I love that. That's iconic. Yeah. I love that. So that's so good. That's the women all the time. You asked me if I'm bisexual, why can't I see literally? And why would you be offended? If you're offended, then maybe you shouldn't be asking people that shit. You weird nigga. Why are you even weird bitch? He's not a nigga, but you go on. But yeah, as far as the lesbian who's not a lesbian anymore and chose, chose this path in life through Kevin. I don't get that, but okay. I just will. Aaron Pierre being like put the strap down, scapped and getting like, let's have a conversation. You've helped me. Yeah. Who also is an attractive brother? I mean, there are so many, but this one fucked his cousin. And I just won't be able to get, I feel like I can't get over that. And I know it was like, you know, they have like a great, grand, grandparent or a great, great grand or something like that. It's not like, you know, our parents were siblings. Right. It's not like that, but it's still like, your family. I mean, it's just, it's just a little weird to me. I don't think I could knowingly smash somebody that I am blood related to. Like, it just feels like once I find out we share an ancestor, it's just, I'm sorry, it's just a little weird for your girl, but you know, shout out to Jolini. She decided the Willow Willow community had had enough. She did enough of that. And she's ready to do some different. And hey, you know what? That is your right and your life. You do whatever feels right to you. I agree. Go for it. I'm not completely like unaware of that. You know, this kind of thing happens. I'm just like Kevin Gates was the one who opened his own. I mean, she could have bisexual or, you know, queer or whatever, then have to be an inclusive thing. But yeah, it's, it's the Kevin Gates of it all for me because I just of all niggas like just everything that I focused on and then of all the men in this. Because it's just, you know, and I'm like, Kofi Serebo is right there. He's like, right. Lance Gross. I can tell you something, if I was gonna step out and see what was going on on that side of things, it would not be Kevin Gates of all niggas. Like she's a beautiful girl. She that's my, y'all be fine. Yeah. Like y'all be fine. Hey, you'll need to look like the dog's ass. Yes, with face tattoos and all. And it's not nice to you. Well, hey, guys, don't. Aoki Lee Simmons has moved to Bali. She says she's not coming back. She out there with her daddy. She never returned to the US. What? She's also said that, you know, she's out there where she could wear backless sunglasses every day and no shoes. I am steady praying for that young lady. Yeah. Imagine. Yeah. Um, I'm assuming that she is over it. I'm assuming that she tired of people talking about how she dated that old ass nasty ass white man that was acquaintances with her mama. Yeah. And so she decided to move out with her daddy and leave her alone about it. She not coming back. Okay, Aoki. I mean, this is a young woman. Just very, very young. So yeah, I am like, I can't even imagine. So, you know, you know, I feel for Kamora because I just, my, my heart would be shredded that my child chose to like backless dresses and barefoot. You can do that in L.A. You can do that in Hawaii. You can live in Arizona. You can live in New Mexico. Mexico. Mexico. Right. Like you, like Caribbean. You don't have to go. She clearly wants to be with her. Right. Right. Despite it all. Um, despite it all. I agree with you. Like Kamora, knowing what she knows. Yeah. Still having beef with this nigga who continues to antagonize her, even though he dead ass wrong. Right. And then, yeah, I do. I feel for her too. Because it's like what? My kids are adults now basically. Yeah, you can't stop her. She's 23. So you have not stopped her. Yeah. No shoes. No shoes. You know, the Bahemian girls are like shoes keeping disconnected from the ass. They do say that. They do say that. They do say that. How do you know something? I buy that. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't need to go, you know, I don't need to go outside and like do things barefoot is all I'm saying. Like I don't need to be able to. I traverse the city barefoot. Like I'm fine. I will find a patch of grass. 45 minutes to 60 minute meditating in the grass in the New York. Right. Like I could go to Central Park and just like, oh geez. Look at all in my witchy era. I get it. Yeah. Oh sure. And you're back and be original. But just I get to walk around in a backless dress and no shoes all day. That's why the girls live in L.A. Poison oak. Right. Sticks stones. Right. Right. There's just a lot of options for that baby girl. But we, I think we all know what you're doing. And the adults are just wishing you the very best on whatever journey it is you own, because I'm a little afraid for you to be completely honest. Yeah. Untie. Be care. Mm hmm. Um, I skipped over one row. Oh, quite great issue. Let's just talk about this dumbass. The Nicki Minaj is now trying to harass a Don Lemon. I'm so glad you brought that to me. That's so tired of this fucking evening. Oh my god. Well, Don Lemon's been in Minnesota. I'm covering the anti-ice protests. things of that nature. People are now calling for him to basically be burned at the state because they're accusing him of like storming inside of a church and lighting it on fire, like sinners or some children. It's just bullshit, but I mean, no dancing. Right. And so Nihimanaj tweeted Don Cox's second lemon is disgusting. How dare you? I want that thug in Jail, he would never do that to any other religion lock him up. Donald Trump then hopped on his at live central or live social, whatever the fuck this shit is called. And then echoed this statement almost immediately. Of course, CDA because this was coordinated. Exactly. You know what? I'm good. I like I'd say it all. I feel like I've said it all. I completely tossing away your legacy for you know, for the a journey into licking the Doc Martin's of all of these white people who couldn't give two living fucks about you are your Trinidadian implants. Nobody like how did this work off a stacy dash? How did this work out for K and his own hands? How did this work off for Chris Hemshoe? What the fuck do you think? Like how that? I really, it's sure. Sure. There are so many other options in terms of entertaining female rap these days, girl. And also I don't ever have to listen to a fucking music. Yeah, I don't think this shit like as much as I love so much of it and have been ready to separate my love from the music from you just kind of being a hot mess on Twitter, I'm posting dumb ass AI photos of yourself and whatever else. I never have to hear you your voice or anything to do with you again. And it is preposterous. If you just suggest anybody who's a thug that should go to jail when you're married to one. And we're going to echo this for as long as it is relevant. Yeah, even though you hate it. Yep. Oh, who in jail? Who in jail? Your husband's a rapist. Your brother's a rapist. You're here undocumented. You shouldn't even spell the word jail. Are you a fucking idiot? Not to mention you and every last one of your fans are also cock suckers. I'm not sure why you thought that was like this. And all of them young homosexuals who are obsessed with you do the same thing. It's I don't know why you said that. It's just the random homophobia. It's just so weird. Have you forgotten? Do you think your fans are straight? Like do you? I'm just so confused about this. Do you not suck? Did you actually brag about? Okay, you know what? All right. Because you all right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. I know. I saw Don Lemon. I actually saw Don Lemon's response to this before I saw what she said in the first place, which just goes to show how little the people I follow are giving a fuck about Nicki Minaj these days because it has to get to this where whoever she's talking about responds. Otherwise, Nick is just ignore her. Because what the fuck are you even over there talking about? Why don't you go back and review them and make statements again and make sure that that fell in rapist nigga that you married to is not charging random shit to your car paying hose rent and whatever the fuck else. Why don't you worry about yourself and what you got going on over there, which are family in your home. She doesn't want to. That's why she wastes all the her time. Okay. It's just you're not even sick and shut in no more. You just shut out. It's like today close. I don't give a fuck about you. Oh, that's like it. I don't give a living fuck about you. I think that you got going on. Never will. And when all of that shit blows up in your face and these tight these bitches are tired of playing with your ass. Stay over there. This is type of shit where only people who will be left to book you are the girl he's producing pride. Right. Black pride specifically. Are you over here talking about boys and boys and girls and girls you suck cockin' on them there. You have so dumbass like anything that you're outputting right now is worth any value anyway. Like you hitting on anything girl you're a fucking joking. You sound dumb as shit. Well, you act like Don Lemon went up in that church talking about death to Christians, kill all Christians. Christians are hell. Like Don Lemon is live streaming the the protests and the demonstrations that are happening or that we're happening in St. Paul because of what happened with that lady Renee Good who was shot and killed by ice. And so demonstrators had interrupted Sunday service to protest ice being there. Don Lemon who is a journalist which is a job and I know your man don't know nothing about that but sometimes people do things with their lives call careers. Don Lemon live streamed what was going on inside the church as the demonstration was happening. You decided to frame that as if Don Lemon was attacking Christians and all this he would never do this to any other religion. He wouldn't report on what's going on after the federal government killed an innocent citizen. Are you sure? Because that's all the trying to turn this into Christian persecution. It's just like that thing in Nigeria where it's like I know for effect the Trump administration somebody associated with it. Had you tweet about this so that Trump could then co-sign it and then whatever whatever. Yes, that Christians are under attack and our administration won't tolerate Christians not being allowed to piece of what Christians are allowed to do. Baby in this country any where half of our federal holiday all of the Christian holidays are federal holidays. Please be for real. There's like no separation. I don't rights. I literally don't want to hear it. Shut the fuck up. Furthermore, Nicholas. Let's talk about St. Peter and his clipboard. That nigga got a list. Who all on it? Now when you get up to the gate, you think that any of this is helping them open up? You think they're not going to go. I'm finished. I don't even have anything to sell. Hey, what did it do? If your God is on Trump side then we just don't have the same God. And that's all there is to that. It's really that is the log and the short of it. She's weird. Speaking of where, who are these likes can people get divorced? Have you ever heard of them? So yes, I did see one of their videos a couple years ago. Somebody tagged me in her. She was trying on shoes at Walmart or Target or something and she was just being so ridiculous. I guess that's her stick is that she does all kinds of dance moves and like acrobatics and stuff in different shoes. I don't know. As soon as I see couple's content, my brain switches off. Baby, I do not care. Plus, I look like brother and sister. So I extra hell it wasn't interested. But them getting divorced has been all over my shit. All over mine too. Yeah. When I told you that. Did not know they was that famous? Really didn't. The first time that I heard about them was in a business meter. I was in a meeting and someone referred to me as like, you know, like you're one of like the OGs in the like the creating whatever thing. And you know, I'm horrible at taking compliments. I was just kind of like, and then someone was like, you know, like right now I know that one of these like OG couples, such and they and she named them. They're getting divorced and whatever. And I just nodded along. I know who the fuck she was talking about. He's like, I did not recognize their names. But I'm very accustomed at this point to being out of the loop. This is I've chosen to know for a while. Yeah. And then immediately after that, all of my life for you pages, which I don't like that that's where the social media pages start now start with who I follow and let me go over. Please, please, because the algorithm could be doing anything. And it is. I did not know they were. I didn't know them by name. I just knew. We also don't know them by face. I have never seen these people before. Maybe because I'm not on TikTok like that. No, you would have had to say the woman who does different dance moves and flips and stuff and shoes and her husband just stares at her and look and makes crazy faces or does like really exaggerated laughs. And then I wouldn't know. But now they you you could put them next to Steph and Iisha Curry and I would have a hard time. I would have a very hard time picking them like skin people. That was blonde. So that might help. Is he like, oh, no, I've got the stuff - I've heard about it. - Since when? I thought-- you may hear it, like died his hair or something. No step Korean. - I mean, like, he has lighter hair. - Lighter brown hair. Yeah, but it ain't no blonde. - Yeah, I just sat around calling. - Okay. - Yeah, I just, I was flumminced by the man. I mean, they're on TMZ. Like, it was like a week after they announced that they were getting a divorce because he was cheating on her or whatever. Some people spotted him in the club making out with something. - Oh yes, yes. - And so then that was going crazy and stuff. It was just like all over threads. And I'm like, wow. - Okay. And I think I posted on threads. I have no idea who these divorcing lights can people are, but y'all seem super passionate about it. - Yeah, I think they were very, very popular. You can always tell when the influencer money started hidden 'cause all of a sudden they start filming in these gorgeous houses. And I don't know if that is true for them, whether they always had that house or not. But I know I saw a picture of her in that house afterwards and I was like, oh yeah, the influencer money is hitting 'cause that is a beautiful one. - You know what put me onto that? It's specifically like TikTok influencer money. I was watching that show The Secret Lives Moment Lives. Because when I saw it like on the main page of Hulu a couple of months ago, I thought it was gonna be like a documentary that kind of really dives into the lives of more people. - Oh wow. - It's just their own actions with bitches for me. - Yes. - You tore a rubber from. - With bitches for me. - Right, not supposed to drink Coca-Cola. - Right. Anyway, I found out a couple episodes of that that I watched that they make bank. They were on there talking about, oh yeah, I have to talk about this brand for 30 seconds. They're gonna pay me $100,000. I'm like, what? - Yeah. - Yeah. - So, they probably were. - There's so much space in this world to be famous that people can be legit millionaires with millions of followers. And I have never once, like I have no idea what it is you do. It's just incredible that the world works that way. But no, I wasn't. I don't think I saw too many videos from them. Again, I do not like couples content. And I don't care who the couple is. It's corny, cheesy. I just don't find it entertaining. But yeah, they've been all over my fucking algorithm. - Someone replied to my comment to him. It was like, oh, look at you trying to be cool, but you still jumping on a bandwagon. There's a lot of like scientific analysis here. And, you know, social psychology conversations there. And I said about her, okay, Neil deGrasse Tyson, you have blasts. - Well, you know, I'm sure-- - Like, scientific of all of the scientific things to analyze right now is two random niggas getting divorced. - Shut your dumbass up. - And, you know, they're-- - Like, just say you being nosy and having a good time. - Because that is what the overwhelming majority of you are doing. There probably are some sociologists studying, like the impact of social media based of famous people. And, like, I'm sure somebody is studying that. But also, it is all-- I also don't know who they are. It is also all over my for you page on every fucking app. So, if I did break down and talk about them, which I haven't, it would simply be because everybody else is doing the same thing. Like, clearly these niggas are a bigger deal than I would have ever thought. And that is all that means. It don't have to be no-- - How am I acting are trying to include by saying, I don't know what this thing is for y'all. - Isn't that the opposite of being cool? - Thank you. How's that jumping on the bandwagon? That's looking at the bandwagon driveway. - Because if anything, it just makes me feel elderly. Like, when me mom don't know, what y'all say about that? - That was exactly my point. Why do you feel some type of way? - Don't worry, she'll think you can leave me the fuck alone. - And, bring me my-- Bring me my knee medicine, too, why are you here? 'Cause I'm all right, I'm all right, it's exacting up. That's how I feel when y'all get to talk with people, though, that work commenting were like, yeah, I'm glad you said it. 'Cause I also don't know who these people are. But then a couple of people were like, I feel like at least three people responded to me and were like, all you need to know is that Vennagain shit. And we saw this kind of thing and like, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, well, yeah, I could've guessed that part, but thank you for at least kind of breaking this for me. 'Cause I did not even wreck it. I thought that like, okay, I don't know their name, but at least one of them I'll be like, oh, I've seen a clip of them before or something. Don't know the name, don't know the faces, don't know I'll care this much. Y'all have seen this kind of caring on before, but it's a fun thing. Everyone's miserable you haven't had. (laughs) - Again, people can be extremely famous and I just don't know who they are like that. - All the time. - That's not shade. We simply have different timelines and I don't see the things you see. But somebody posted a video being like, I could tell in this video he was irritated by her shenanigans and I was like, that's where I've seen these niggas before. - I hate when people do that. - Oh, yeah. Because yes, she's doing a lot, but he's also doing a lot and they're doing a lot together to get y'all's likes and comments and shares and engagement and downloads and reposts. That is the whole, they're both playing the social media game. Even now, they are still playing the social media game and they probably will not stop. So, well, the girl from the TMZ clip that he was making out with is a model named Marissa Springer. She, of course, had to tell her side of the story to hopefully get on the next season of Love Island. And so she said. - Oh, smart girl. - So she got on the TikTok and was like, listen, I didn't know who that nigga was, nothing about that. We met that night. We both were drinking. We were, that led to that. It is what it is, Margaret. I guess she did that. She was like the death threats and all of that are a bit much. - Wow. - I met her guy I found cute, weakest. - You ain't never been drunk in the club before? Oh, okay. (laughs) I can't judge. I have done that exact same thing more than once. So, let me just sit over here and eat my hot Cheetos. - 'Cause I can't comment. - But her caption for the TikTok says, this will be the last thing I say about the situation. Me and Desmond have to focus on our child and what the future brings us. - So that caption is from Kristy LaWife? - This is on Marissa's page. - That can't be. They don't have a kid. This, I'm looking at the TikTok. - Maybe somebody reposted it? Maybe that's not her original account, 'cause that don't make sense. How y'all just met that night, but y'all have a kid. - Well? - It doesn't make sense. (laughs) - This will be the last thing I say about this situation. This is her page. - I cannot, that I cannot, I don't know what happened there, but I. - You and Desmond have a child. - She said. - Oh, wait, so somebody asked her, you and Desmond have a child? - In these comments, someone said, you and Desmond have a child two days ago. Marissa Springer, yes. - What? So then y'all didn't just meet in the club. And, okay, see, see. - I'm so confused. - I didn't look into it because I don't care. (laughs) I actually haven't commented on it because I don't want the algorithm to give me more information about these people, but if they have a kid, then y'all definitely didn't just meet in the club that night and get drunk in. - Hold on, let me listen to this one, guys. - It makes sense. - Okay, I love being a girl. No offense to the transgenders. - Oh, I guess people were saying she's trying this. - I don't know. - And so I thought that was something we don't do in 2026. I did not call TMZ on myself. All the information that was released about me is public information and it's listed on my Instagram. They reached out to me the day, which is when I told them that I did not know who he was prior and then we'd barely met that night. - I'm pretty sure when you guys meet someone at a club, you don't interrogate them about who or what their social media status is. We were obviously many drinks in the vibes room. - I'm so confused, Marissa. What the fuck are you talking about? - I think somebody must have copy and pasted a caption or something because even Desmond in this statement says, "You know, Christie's the mother of my children. That'll always come first. I'm gonna be a great dad blah, blah, blah." So it's something about that sounds weird or maybe somebody else, I don't know what happened, but this girl, this Marissa girl does not, she even says she don't have no key. So in this statement that I'm reading right here. So I don't know. - Maybe Marissa's springer is not the girl? - No, no, I'm looking on us weekly and it does say Marissa's springer. But it also says-- You know what? - I don't think. (laughing) - It's not telling you. Now I'm too deep in people business that I don't care about. Don't know. - The only reason I was digging is because I'm genuinely confused about those two things that don't make sense. They're conflicting statements. How are you saying that you didn't know who he was? You weren't interrogating him about Instagram. You just met him and then someone is in your caption asking if y'all have a kid together and you say yes. on the caption where on TikTok, Instagram. TikTok. On her TikTok. Okay. I haven't seen her. Is this Marissa dot springer? Yes. I don't think that's real. I mean, I don't think she has a kid with him either, but I don't understand how this is in her caption. I don't think that's her real TikTok. Why would it only have five videos on it? Oh, yeah, you're wrong. I mean, I am wrong. Yeah, I don't think that's real. I think people are. This one has two ours on it. This one saying, I don't, I genuinely don't know, but it says other pages shadow. I don't care. No, there's something there. I don't care. No, I don't know this Marissa. I don't know what she does, but Kristian Desmond, their Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses are something. And I think the story was that he wanted to get a divorce, but under their Jehovah's Witnesses law or whatever they couldn't without somebody breaking their marriage vows, I think. And she didn't want to file something like that. I don't know the rules. So he was like, I have to go out here and cheat so that we can get a divorce. It's like, Oh, okay, whatever y'all say. I mean, I'm sorry for the kids. I hope everybody can act like an adult in the situation and do what's best for those children, but let's talk about a lingerie. What is anything? Beautiful, girl. I don't know anything, but Nick, anything but Nick, yes, somebody screenshot a post from Twitter where Alondria was at fuck. She's been all over the place lately. She was at the Bridgerton thing. She was at the Golden Globe. It was the Golden Globes. Baby, when I tell you first of all, I knew that girl was a star on love. I actually thought she and Shelley were going to be storming everything together. It's a damn shame how that worked out, but I saw it was this post that said, it was a picture of Alondria looking like God personally handcrafted her and then just dropped her onto the carpet. And the caption was, it is very important that you allow people to hate you into greatness. And I just said, you know what, let me, let me save that. Well, because God damn, what an incredible point to make. And what, I mean, when I say beautiful, girl, and just, so she's genuinely like, like walk into any room and it is like, she is so beautiful. Yeah, every single thing. Okay. I feel so much better about wasting all that time about them, too, like skinny because I have never heard of. Yeah. No, they, they don't matter. Alondria and these looks that are like, they, whoever is working with her, I have not seen one single miss on all these carpets. She has looked incredible. So I don't think she could, I don't think they can make her miss it. I mean, right. You would have to try really hard to make her look bad. Like she, she wakes up looking better than most of us will on our best day. But just, just an incredibly beautiful girl. So for the Lyceum woman who's getting divorced and sounds like, you know, you've been living with a nightmare. So my heart does go out to you in that regard, wherever you are, because I don't know where to fuck you live. All right, that's it for the hot times. This week, let us go ahead and take a break and then we'll come back and reach your letters. Folks, we're back and it is time to dive into your listener letters. Yes, it is. Send your questions to [email protected]. We may read them aloud on the show. Our first letter this week, oh, we actually have a short one here from Cigee who says, I'm assuming Fury will know because he watches more streamers. Mm hmm. Sense on who? Okay. Have you watched I show speed? Do you know what that is? Not on perfect. I know who he is. He's probably one of the biggest streamers period. He might be the biggest streamer. Oh, work. Okay. Because this says, have you watched I show speed tour the African continent yet? And I was like, I don't understand the sentence. Okay. I see some clips out there dancing with them and stuff. Okay. So he was asking, this person was asking about like if you had a favorite or whatever, it sounds like you not that deep into it. No, like a favorite streamer or a favorite of whichever because I think he's going around the continent. So it was like, oh, no, I don't really know much about what he's doing out there. I didn't hear that he was out there trying to, you know, get into his ancestry and culture and stuff. And that's awesome. And he's known to do like aggressively energetic content where he's just like a can of red. Got you. Okay. Um, wow. He came right. Yeah. Once again, somebody's incredibly famous. And I'm like, who? Yeah. I love any. Oh, I'm chopped in. I'm like, I saw a clip of today's birthday. He's 21 today. Raddably rich. Like he's right. He's like richer than most rappers. Yeah. It's like he's very rich. Um, but yeah, I only saw the clip of him out there. Oh, he's from Ohio. Okay. He was in. Why? I don't remember what country he was in, but he was out there with some native dancers and he was dancing with him. And the Lord, he was having a good time. I can see anything overtly offensive in the clip. Okay. I don't. Good sign. No, what else is going out there going on out there. Okay. Well, you know, um, man, thank you for letting any know about somebody new that sounds like maybe I should check out the way they have going on. I'm not really tapped into the streamer community like I should be, but again, um, my god, aging. Yeah. That's I forgot to talk about Jada and, uh, Ari Fletcher. I mean, but there isn't really much to talk about. Ari Fletcher. Little babies, baby mama and money baggill's girlfriend. Little baby. Oh, oh, Jada, wait a five and say Ari Fletcher has been cheating with little baby, which is Jada's baby father, baby. And then Ari was like, I'm going live on Twitch for the first time. So come check it out. So everybody thought that she was going to go on Twitch and and respond to it. She was in her hair done. Yeah. So everyone, everybody was her chat posting to made a emoji. Got you know, harassing her to address the claims. Anyway, all that to say, I think blueface just started to switch account. Like they're all trying to hit a lick now. So that's right. All right. They should do a lot of these people. You said Ari Fletcher and my brain heard Ari Fletcher, who, uh, used to be White House press secretary in the Bush administration. So, I'm very different person. I was so confused. Um, but okay. Let's, uh, let's move on into a different question. This one's from Nick, who says, hi, Kevin Crystal. I'm writing you from Australia, where I live as an immigrant on a temporary work visa. Last year, I finally met the requirements to apply for a permanent residency visa. But before I could be invited to apply, I tested positive for HIV in December. This would, this qualified me for most skilled migrant visas. And after speaking to a migration lawyer, I was told I would have to find a sponsor or partner or apply for protection, both of which are very hard on their own and will be further complicated by my health condition. I'm really blaming myself and I feel like this is all my fault. I was irresponsible and could have been safer. But I don't know why I couldn't just pull myself together. I've been spiraling for weeks and have dealt with feelings of loneliness ever since I moved here. I was using grinder to cope, but that's really not an excuse. I don't know what I did what I did. I was given a prescription for prep and procrastinating going down to the pharmacy to get it filled. That was all I need to do to avoid all of this. My mom worked hard to bring me here and I feel like I've ruined everything. How can I make, make peace with this situation? So I can focus on finding a solution. I only have this year to try and figure something out. Thanks for all you do. Love Nick. I did not know that HIV status could keep you from getting a visa. I was going to say the exact same thing and I think that is absolutely absurd. What? That is the click. What does that have to do with it? Right. It's what? I don't know if that's just an Australia thing or if other countries do that. It can't be everywhere. I don't know. My first thought is to reach out to community like local gay community help centers, whatever those might be in Australia to see like whatever y'all's glad or pee flag is reaching out to them to see what they can do. But the idea that simply testing positive for HIV means you might not be able to get a permanent visa. It seems so insane to me. I don't get that. Why? So wild. HIV can be managed. I don't understand. This is so strange. Why? What did they just say? They were saying it is not a death sentence. You live a completely full life. I just don't understand. But I don't even know how that relates to a visa. That aside in the ridiculousness. Yes. Because I agree with Chris. So my main thought was that I think you should definitely look into a local gay and trans health center, trans health centers for trans people are often specific to them, which I respect. But some just kind of cover all the legal biggest I could. So I would definitely go down there for nothing. If nothing, if or nothing, but a referral or sometimes even in house counseling because a lot of those people can help you get into either group therapy counseling or something like that to help relieve this feeling of loneliness and blame that you're placing yourself because it is you're really doing a disservice to yourself by beating yourself up. It all of the I could have done this. I should have done this and so on and so forth. It's like we all could have done a lot of things to stop blank from happening. This isn't something that that should. This is not something that is going to prevent you from having peace, love, laughs or any of those things. Is it a rough patch to get through mentally, socially and so far? I've always mentioned it is. I like what else can it, but I'm hearing a lot of self-destructive sentiment in this letter and it's not that even it's not necessary. It's just it's not healing, you know, it's just kind of you staring at this wound and being like, well, I shouldn't have fell on that knife or whatever. If anything, know that there are a lot of people who have been in your shoes and are ready and willing and passionate about being able to commune with you and inspire you and let you know that you're not alone. So, you know, take a breath and I'm really getting back into how fierce journaling is and I just want it like, baby, it doesn't have to be Tony Morrison, like girl, maybe a paragraph and the more it just, it won't be Miss Tony. I don't say you right now. Of course it will. Whatever I churn out in these journals. That's not happening. It's not going to happen, but I can get thoughts out and as I'm doing it, sometimes even have revelations. But I definitely think that you should look into therapy and I think you should start by looking towards gay, queer, lesbian centers and organizations because they are ready and willing to reach out and love all over you, babe. Yes. You're going to be you're going to be all right. This is not something to blame yourself for. It's never nobody's fault. Yeah. And to add on to the, you know, it sounds like you're having a hard time forgiving yourself because you like, damn, if I had just done this or this or this, we, and that's very common when we feel like damn, I'm in a pickle that I put myself in or I could have avoided that. But it sounds like you're not, you're not like, hmm, I should have done that. In the future, I'll do this. Let me forgive myself, have some compassion for myself and move on. You're beating your own ass behind it. Yes. And that's when it really turns into a problem because every time you bring it up and then cuss yourself out and degrade yourself and make yourself feel bad, you're not moving on. You're dwelling in the hurt and that keeps you from being able to find something more productive to do with your time, like literally anything other than dragging yourself. Yes. Is it like you're putting on boxing gloves and punching yourself? Right. It says you have this, you said you have this year to figure something out. Is it possible? You can start HIV treatment and be undetectable so that when you get tested again, it doesn't even show up and then it's not a problem for your work visa. I don't know. I'm just spitballing. That's the sort of thing that you don't even start to think about when you're so busy blaming yourself and being mean to yourself for doing something that you didn't mean to do. You don't even allow yourself to imagine beyond that. So, you know, again, reach out to the the local organizations, immigration attorneys, people who work with the alphabet mafia and see what they have to say. You're certainly not the only person in Australia with HIV on a temporary work visa. So girl. And online, there are lots of forums, there are a lot of articles, there are a lot of pages that you can read as well that can help you with, maybe even just like putting some context together and hopefully motivating you. But yeah, like Rosaland said, you got to stop beating yourself up over this because it's actually keeping you from being active in things that help you feel better. Yeah. Because shame is not really an effective long-term motivator and it sounds like you are really stuck in that part of shame where it's just beating your ass and you're going to have to make a conscious effort to say, okay, yes, I did this. I don't love that I did it, but I did do it. I have compassion for who I was. I moved here. I was lonely. I was struggling. I reached out for companionship. That's human. I did some human things, but it does not mean the world is over. It does not mean my life is over. I can move on, learn from this grow, et cetera, et cetera. So we are wishing you the absolute best of luck, babes. Please let us know how it goes. And again, I just cannot even believe that is, I mean, I'm sure the United States does something just as bad if not worse, but what a fuck man. That is so weird. Y'all really. Okay. All right, let me tell you something about South Florida, baby. You better pass that mother-fucking-paper bag test at the coast or turn your ass around. There's a cubans not having it. Well, the humans are not having it. How dare you? Girl, baby. Oh, just talk about them yesterday. I just saw a new story from one who was, it was one of those, oh, you know, I'm Cuban American, so we're Republican. And most of the people I know voted for Trump. And now blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm glad they're saying it with a chest. Yeah, y'all know, y'all know. Okay, our next letter comes from TJ, who says, Hey, Chris Winkiewry. Recently, I've had enough with my drinking and jug use and decided to go into sober living. Hey, congrats. I bless you. I'll get there. I'm so sorry. I'm like, wait for a ring or a response. Baby, because I'm like, oh, good for you. Let me tell you what I'm not going to do. But yeah, that's not helpful. Yeah, it is. Okay. I've struggled for years, but a few weeks ago, I woke up sicker than ever. And I had really disappointed my best friend who I was staying with at the time. I found a place last week and was really excited to start this new chapter of my life. I knew that I would have to share a room and I was fine with that. I arrived yesterday during the day and noticed my roommates hygiene items were similar to mine and his side of the room was tidy. So I figured that was a good sign and we'd probably have things in common. Everybody except the house manager was gone. I left for work at 5 p.m. and returned around 11.30. When I finally met my roommate last night, I was shocked to see that we are very different in deep. He came into the room wearing a mega hat. I'm 35 queer and proudly black. He's old and white with a caca. I'm Southern. Yeah. You need to know this nigga got a person. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god. Okay. That one actually almost took me out like that. I didn't okay. Descriptive. Yes. Yes, ma'am. Okay. I'm Southern. So I did speak, but that was it. He was polite, but after I saw that hat, I was immediately turned off. I texted my best friend picks and he asked me if I needed to be picked up. That's my dog, but I told him I wanted to stick it out because I desperately want to change my life. Today though, I do not know if I can do it. What should I do? That kind of challenging environment. It's where you want it. On day one, damn. I'm not sure if switching rooms is possible because the haves. House is full. I'm in a state where it's hard to find different sober living options. Our schedules are opposites, thankfully, because he works stays and I work nights. But the energy alone makes me sick. I hate that orange bitch and what he's doing to my people and this country, knowing that my roommate supports him, no matter how polite he may seem to be, has me considering whether it's worth it to stay here in sober living. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. All my best TJ deadwilder. Great name. Yeah. Oh, TJ, unfortunately, DJ first of all, thank you. That would have sent me, that would have sent me straight to the nips. That man would have sent me straight to the nips. I actually am shocked. He's allowed to wear that in sober living. I don't know why that surprises me. I'm shocked. They even let him put that all. What? With your ring the house inside. And why are you ring the hat in inside? And you, this is a sober living space. Like why? And you're, so you're making a state. Right, right. And I'm just so confused. Why are you, why is that here? I'm just so confused about that. Okay. So anyway, what should TJ? I would definitely be looking for the quickest, healthiest exit. I would have absolutely no intention and sharing a space with this Republican. I just wouldn't, no matter how polite he is, I could not be sharing willingly sharing a space with him and even allowing this bitch to think that I'm okay with sharing the space with him knowing that he ate me, he ate everything I stand for everything that I am and everybody in my community, I just wouldn't be able to do it. So I would try to weigh out my options here of getting the fuck and then I would pick the best one. Now if you do not have the option, I think that I would probably, especially since he said that they have like basically like oppositions. So that would probably help. I think that I would just, if I can't leave or leaving is not really a viable option. I think I would just try to coast. Make sure that my boundaries, however, whether I vocalize them or not, my my make sure my boundaries are clear. And once anything seems to skew, if that bitch turn on Fox in front of me, I'm gonna be like, okay, so listen up. We need to just have a conversation about respect. I'm not even going to argue with you about that tangerine fuck nigga, but what we're gonna do is we're gonna respect each other. So let's come up with rules. I'll even write them on paper. Let's just do it the old school way soon. But yeah, I would either be trying to get out of there as aptually or I would be very clear with my boundaries and hope that he would respect them. Knowing MAGA, especially the ones that wear hats unnecessarily, I highly doubt that that conversation will end well. Right. Same, same. I hope it doesn't get to that point. I mean, it is a sober living space. I would hope that everybody there is doing their best to be respectful of all people considering we all have substance abuse issues here. So like, right. We're all here to try to like clean up our act, get our shit together, you know, be happier, healthy. Right. Right. MAGA had as a direct threat to my sobriety. That's what I would say to whoever the social workers that run that place. This is a threat to my sobriety. I am kindly requesting. I'm kindly requesting a roommate swap. There has to be some other MAGA-ish white man somewhere in that house. Like somebody, like, I would really try. But if like if you said, if that isn't an option, you said there's not many sober living places in your state, that sort of thing. So if it's like, yeah, you do kind of have to deal with JD Vance until we can find somewhere else for you to go, then take full advantage of the fact that y'all have separate schedules. Yeah. Maximize your time when he's not there. Like just really leaning to that. I mean, that honestly feels like the universe, God, whoever you believe in, giving you a small gift of like, okay, you and sober living, we did have to put a MAGA in your room. But you don't have the same schedule. And hopefully you really don't have to see this bitch all that much. Headphones go a long way. Noise canceling headphones. You can all and a little pretending you're in a tent, like a little blanket fort on the bed, tucking it back to your eight, okay, baby, headphones are a miracle worker. Yes. Of noise canceling. You'd be like other people are other people even in the stratosphere with me. I have to see you otherwise. I don't know which I am legend. Who else? Who else is even here? It's really just me and my dog. And it's nobody else on this planet. So I would be, I don't want you to take our jokes. It's like, Oh, yeah, let me go get some of the drink. Please, though, like I want you to stay sober and, you know, I'm regretting that I said that thing about the nips. It's just a mega hat. My God. What? That was really fun. I think the idea of going to someone and saying, this is a threat to my surprise. Or you know, whatever, like I think that that could at the very least someone be surprised if they're like, well, we can't force them to take the fucking hat off. Right. Right. But they have to acknowledge that the hat is antagonizing to people. Right. And I would guess with it being a sober living space, they'll do something about it. I would hope. I would hope so. They'll do something about that. They'll either, you know, turn it into a no political messages or political paraphernalia, or there's some sort of support on site, therapists or clinical social workers or something like that, where you can come talk about how irritating is that you're trying to get sober and there's a mega demon in your same room. Like somebody who can help you work through those feelings because it's mega assholes on the outside too, of course. And so I cannot imagine if I was like, okay, I got in this place or whatever because I'm trying to get sober and it is a struggle. And day one. Right. I'm pissed. I'm pissed. I'm pissed. Especially because you like, oh, we got the same ex body spray. We got the same deodorant. You know, like we could be cool. We might be friends and it's out of the room is clean. I would have had high hopes. But yes, hopefully we've given you enough advice here to help you stay sober and and stay the course. Yes, you do got this. And you and all the other sober people are doing such. You're making such an incredible effort to better your lives that most people not doing. So truly patch yourself on the back of that. If you fell off the wagon, you can always get back on that bitch. Just try again. Never give up on yourself. And don't let this one ass hole be what stands in the way between you and your healing and your happier life. So we are rooting for you, TJ, best of luck, babes. Let us know how things go. Let me know if that line works about the threat to your sobriety because I should take that. I might be like, oh, shit. Now hold on now. Maybe we got a room in the attic because God damn it. Okay. Exactly what I would do. We are going to wrap up the letters right there. Again, if you have a question for us, send it to ask the [email protected]. We'll be right back. All right, folks. We are back at his time for the read. I'll start. I was just trying to get this out if I even can. So the baddy children are currently talking about this affair on the latest season of the show with this white woman who continuously says Niga and acts like she should be permitted to do so because she wants to. I am disappointed to see the amount of black folks, specifically younger black folks who not only, you don't have a problem with it, they are arguing in defense of this bitch and her desire to say the word Niga. So I just want to point out a couple of things. Let's hope you're just some of the dumbass excuses you all are using for this idiot bitch in her behavior, right? She's not white, she's Puerto Rican. - Baby, if you will ask Chad J.P.T. and AI to dress up ice vise in a Hello Kitty outfit with bare feet on the moon, you can ask that motherfucker what the difference to erase ethnicity and nationality. I'm tired, I'm tired of talking about it. And y'all got AI explaining every goddamn thing and doing all your homework and painting your pictures. So I don't understand why you can't just go get them. - Yes, they use it like Google. - So use it for that. - Yeah. - Like, she's not white, she's Puerto Rican. Do you know that they're a black Puerto Rican people? - Did you, I mean, that doesn't. - And she's not one of them now. - That's all right. - What is she? - Right, that doesn't, Puerto Rican doesn't necessarily mean black. That doesn't mix. - Puerto Rican is her nationality. - This is y'all fault for letting non-black say nigga. - This is exactly it. That's exactly what it is. - She has black kids. Okay, well then they can say nigga. - Right. - I didn't do some time. - She can't. - That ain't nothing. - And why are you giving this idiot bitch a past say nigga because she gets fucked on by black men? These be the same black men that come and destroy you are an attempt to destroy you, shit on you, judge you, criticize you because these white bitches are at home perpetuating that shit. These bitches want to be you and simultaneously hate and talk shit about you. And you jumping in front of buses for the malls? - Right. - Oh, it's just a word. It's not that serious. Okay, well then don't say it. - Right. - It is just a word then just don't say it. Y'all acting like we telling her, don't say the word me. Oh, you can't say the word the. - It's a slur. Just don't fucking say it. It's not that hard. Oh, she's a product of her environment. I grew up right next to a bunch of messy ass Cuban people, never use a slur for Latin people or Cuban immigrants or anything because I'm not an ignorant fucking dumbass. I grew up in a community with a lot of transgender women. And during that era of my life, I really found myself years later. I think on Twitter, I use the T-word, which is a slur. Not knowing it was a slur. And someone, I just, because I grew up hearing them say it all the time. - And they, back then, that is what they called themselves and told us to call it was, it was the way. - I thought it was a shorten. - Yes, literally. And it was just the way we all talked and things are very different now and I respect it. - Speak keyword respect. - Okay, okay. - I respect that. The moment that that person on Twitter told me, please don't say that that is a slur. Here goes some history behind why. - Period. - It said it's him. - Period, that's really it. - And it's not hard to not say a word, especially a derogatory word that you know people don't like. The only reason this white bitch wants to say niggas because we say it. - That's it. - Well, that's it. - Yep. - The only reason they do all, like, wants to do, these white motherfuckers will die or at the very least get beat the fuck up because they want to say niggas. - That is insane. You have slurs. Use them and I'm just really nervous for some of y'all kids because like, Uncle's not gonna preach to you. You all, you got it. I'll be dust before I blink twice the bitch and the world's gonna be yours and whatever's left is your guy doing his shit. - But I'm concerned that y'all are leaving all these gates wide open for these crackers that hate you. - Yeah. - Furthermore, you might even talk about like Margot Robbie. It's not even like Meryl Streep and both of them would get cussed out. - Great. - You talk about a bitch that literally look like olive oil and speaks like Iggy is ill you. - Nah, give me outta here. - What do you want, like, what is there to defend? She does it, she's not funny. She's not talented. There's nothing about her that anyone is discussing besides the fact that she says Niggah and feels like she should be able to and keeps saying it. Not to mention the first time that she said that she own camera, people are trying to make it seem like everybody was just jumping on her and, you know. - Oh yeah. - Bill and I is in here. - I'm y'all peeking on her. (laughs) - The first time that she said it it was in a room full of black girls and one of them said to her, I know you're mad, but don't say that word 'cause this is a room full of black people in here and we don't like that respectfully. - Yeah. - Her response was respectfully, I don't give a fuck. - Oh, cussed. - There she got jumped. - Toppy. - And still says it and seems to be confused. - Oh, she's dedicated. - And there are black people on the show defending her. There are black people who watch the show. - Wow. - Who are defending her. - Wow. - And I'm from an era in a place where I can think about this. My family are immigrants from a country that is mostly populated by black people. - Right. - And they still, as soon as I got here, it was like, here's what white people are not gonna do on your face. - Yeah. - Like, yep. - So I'm from an era where we beat at, like, we packed bitches out, but I miss shit. And I'm saying Cubans that I was a mentioned in before. First in line, dying to say the word again, feel like they could, 'cause they Cuban, but at the same time, don't wanna acknowledge Celia Cruz is black. So what's the truth? - Mm, mm. Uh-oh. - They got quiet. - Oh, y'all went on to say it. She's Latin, and she could say it. Arda has Afro Latin, but she's in Afro-Latina. - Mm, oh, well, there you go. - If that's confusing to you, look it right. If you didn't know who he was, he wasn't a famous person, he was just bumped into him at Kroger. He might think they're the Brazilian, Puerto Rican, Colombian, whatever the fact. But you cool when they got until Kendrick said that we don't wanna hear him say, "Neganoman, alright?" 'Cause you know he's half black. - Yep. - Yeah. - So just because this person speaks Spanish, don't mean that they don't also have, anyway. You know what, girls, I'll just leave this, I'll leave this here, right? I understand that, oh, girl, I picked out my first gray hair out my facial hair like last week, so. - Oh, it's time. (laughing) - Did you see that clip of Amy Pauler telling Jennifer Lawrence that she might have Perry menopal? - No. - 'Cause she was, it was so fun. - Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. - Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer, she's gay. - I bet she did. - Jennifer, I don't know what they were talking about, but Jennifer kept scratching on the inside of her ear, and at one point she was like, I'm sorry, keep scratching my ear, that's probably the girls. - And Amy, without misogyn, but Amy says, you know what's funny? An itchy ears are a common side effect of Perry menopal, so congratulations. - Oh. - And the Lord's face was like, - Bitch, why would you? - Okay. - What if I just have an ear infection, Amy? - What if it's just-- - And Leslie, nope, just was like, "Yep, congratulations, our way back to you." It was so funny. - Oh, man. - Anyway, all that to say, "Uncle is gonna let you all bad job is." I know that you're only gonna take this as far you want to, 'cause you probably, you know, feel like, "Girl, this ain't gonna do what me." - Yeah. - But what I will say is that, and I'm speaking specifically to Black people. If you are not bothered by it, that is your business. Do not police other people's, other Black people's feelings, or emotions when it comes to this. You have to know that any white person going around, saying they get anywhere, it will eventually get they asked me. You know that. If it won't bother you, fine. Fine, but you're gonna shut your ass about it when it comes to me. Example, I don't care if Leslie being safe, Agut. - Controversial. I don't know why, 'cause I love saying "Dike." So why? - I don't care if Leslie being safe, Agut. - Really? I'm very careful, 'cause y'all-- - For my own reason. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I just feel like-- - However-- - You know, we brothers and sisters, that's different. The straights can't say it. The straights can't say it, "Dike or back." - Ellen DeGeneres also can't say it, that's true. - And Caitlin Jenner can't either. - Right. - You see? You pick it up when I'm putting down. - 'Cause when Cantorix said, we don't wanna hear you say Niggin' No, more of the keywords, there were no more. (laughing) We discussed that. So, yeah, like I said, if you, if it on bother you, if it on offend you, I'm not trying to force you to be bothered by it. I don't understand why it wouldn't at least, you know, give you pause. But if you cool with it, you cool with it. What you're not gonna do is get in my mother fucker face to say a fuck thing. If Krizzle was, to call some gay boy Faggot. And he said, "Hey, please don't say that to me. I don't like it. I'm not gonna say nothing because he's allowed me to do that." - Yes he is. - Now if he gets a little spicy, I might say, "Okay, bitch, stay focused." 'Cause not too much on this, man. But I'm not gonna be like, "Oh, well, girl, she can say Faggot." 'Cause she's a lesbian. - Right. - You're allowed to feel how you want to feel. - Yeah. - So why the fuck are y'all bitches jumping out of, bust windows for this ugly-ass white bitch talking about she poor to reek in? - Right. - Any book, just any, but y'all don't even have to read them anymore. They'll read for you. You don't even have to read them anymore. You don't even have to read articles anymore. You just click play at the top of the goddamn article and those, "Hey, I'm gonna read it for you." - Yeah. - But you want to worry about what Jada, Jada way to baby father doing. - Okay. - I'm wishing you guys the best. Just know you can't say nigga in front of me with your white skin because I will go jail. I don't care. - Yeah. - Yeah. - You can't call me a nigga. You cannot say nigga to me. And respond to my offense by saying, "You don't give a fuck." - Right. - Now I gotta crack your shit. - That's not gonna break that up, right. I'm not letting you outside feeling like shit, sweet. Not me. - So the rest of y'all, God bless. I mean, I have, like I said, I'll be gone soon. So. - That's home. - That's it. - You all right, you gonna give me? - Right. So in the grand scheme of things, it's tomorrow. - Right, I've built, I'm 40. - Oh man. - 38. My therapist said, "Girl, even when you hit 42, "it still be feeling like it's just a sudden." - Right. - Just fool it. - Okay. A few quick things from me and then I'll be out of here first of all, fuck the NFL for finding Aziz al-Shayir $11,593 because he broke their rule on personalizing his eye black. - His, oh. - You know the black stuff they were under there, yeah. So. - Personalizing in how? - He wrote, "Stop the genocide in white." - You gotta be fucking kidding. - And so now to be fair. - I gotta suck his Instagram and dollars of it. - Oh no. - He put a message in his eye black that said, "Stop the genocide." Of course, you know, Niggas noticed. He is Muslim, he has talked about Palestinian causes before that is not new. The NFL does, they are strict about this rule. Like a long time ago, they find d'Angelo Williams for writing, "Find the cure in his eye black." It was just, which was about breast cancer awareness. - Yeah. - They have find players for wearing colors, they're not supposed to wear even though if it's like, I saw this article on ESPN. William Gay got fined for wearing purple cleats to show support for domestic awareness because his mother was killed when he was seven years old by her husband, his stepfather. So. - So the cleats were purple. - So the cleats were purple and they were like, "You out of uniform, "you will not authorize to wear purple cleats." And so you get in, like, so the NFL is particular like that and you could have put anything. You could have put bluey rocks and they would have fined you for that. - I thought you were gonna say something like silly, not like important. - No. - No, they really do do that, but fuck y'all for this. Genuinely, and sincerely, I don't care if it's your rule. Stop the genocide is a worthy message that needs to be put out there. That brother is simply expressing himself. Y'all wasn't going, now y'all paying attention. Now y'all listening. He probably knew in advance, I'm gonna get, you know, a $12,000 fine for this, and it's worth it because when else am I gonna have this big of a stage? - Yeah, I agree. - Now CJ Stroud, you should be included in this read because of them four turnovers in the first half, but I'ma let you go because I know. Y'all know you don't, not just right now. That Houston, you wasted that Houston defense. And I mean, they really kept y'all in the game. Like you really-- - Oh my god. - Houston legit had a shot. Like I'm sick, that game I had to cut it off. I couldn't take it no more, but so anyway, fuck the NFL for that. Number two, this-- - I just watched for a bargain. - It just can't follow it. - Well, there's nothing left, but the conference champion, division championships and the Super Bowl. - No, I mean, I can't follow the game itself. - What? It goes so slow. - Yeah. - No, I mean, I don't even like the speed of it. I just mean like the format and rules. Like I get like the basics of football, but then there'll be like a flag or something like that. And I'm like, okay, what the fuck just happened? - The flag is for pass interference or holding. I almost saw this time. You just say, oh, pass interference. Oh, holding on the defense, oh. - I can follow a basketball, incredibly easy. And then one I watch most is fighting. - Yeah. - Oh, I like that track. - I like that track, I like that track. - I'm sure it does. - Number two, this Dick Dyke drama on TikTok, I-- - Oh, I only heard a scratch of this and it was, I can't wait to hear what Chris has to say. (laughs) That's it. - Well, so I didn't speak on it last week because I didn't want to come and be like, I barely know who those girls are, but it's true. I barely know who those girls are. Y'all used to tag me in their videos until finally, I had to say, listen, I'm not attracted to people who wear weave and make up. Y'all keep acting like these niggas are my type, they are not. - I think you've made that clear. - Yes, these are ladies, please stop. Don't tag me in, you know, these pretty princesses videos. So I think y'all got the hint around then. But I was aware of, you know, kind of who they all are. So one of them easy. She did a video in a fat suit. She got fat prosthetic. She had like a fat face added and a very ridiculous belly and all this with a T-shirt on that said, "Big Girls Matter." And she was making fun of Samira. If you'll remember, I brought Samira up a few months ago because she and Cardi B got into it, right. So Samira is a very vocal fat activist. She talks about things that are unfair for fat people. I guess easy thought this was funny. She made this video, making fun of Samira and got dragged to hell and back for it. Like niggas was on her assy media because girl first of all, it's not funny. Secondly, yes. Like we're not still doing fat suits, baby. Like we just aren't. Sorry, you don't have to find another way. - Right. - Literally, and I think she even said, "Oh, you know, I grew up watching Norby and a nutty professor." Like we don't care, girl. We'd not doing this anymore. - I have not aged well. - No, right. And you don't see people being like, "Oh yeah, you know, fat suits." That was really the height of comedy. We really hit our comedy pinnacle with the fat suits. That was when we did our best work. Like nobody says that shit. - Nobody really. - So you know, it was, she got dragged as she very much deserved. She ended up deleting the video. She's gone live a couple of times talking about y'all are being mean. And oh, she don't mean there's nothing but love in her heart. - After that? - Oh yeah. - Oh yeah. - Very. - And what she did wasn't mean. - Ciao. So when all this came up and TikTok was dragging her, they started bringing up some of her old videos. Missa asked me when I was like, "Oh, this is just a dictite." Because first of all, she wanted them ones who's engaged to a girl who was straight until she met her. And so it's like, "Okay, well, I already know what this is." - So fat is always. - You finna end y'all finna bring a nigga into your relationship and then six months later, you finna be single or whatever. Who knows? But she did a TikTok before where the caption was like, "When you drunk with your homeboys or something." And it's her stumbling into a bathroom and looking herself in the mirror and be like, "Hey, they're my your homeboys. You do not want to fuck them. You are not gonna suck no dick tonight." Blah, blah, blah, blah. And so all the comments are like, "I swear to God, this is a you problem." And I mean that with my whole body. I've been so fucking drunk. I could not keep my eyes open and still. Never was I like, "Oh, I'm not gonna, I gotta really keep myself awesome dick tonight." Like, you can just be bisexual, okay? You can just be a bisexual mask presenting person or whatever else. But using the label stud is going to be a problem for the real studs because number one stud means something. And that thing is black lesbian. It doesn't mean black queer. It doesn't mean black questioning. It doesn't mean black gay on the weekends. It means black lesbian and black masculine presenting lesbian awesome. Right. Right. And number two, you going around acting like this only adds to a culture where men feel like it's appropriate to harass gay women or to try to convince them that it's gay. But you're only hurting a group of people that you think could be a part of. Right, but you're not a part of. Like, but still I was like, I don't know enough about this girl's social media presence to really talk about her and y'all are beating her ass. So I'ma let y'all have it. And then she did a live talking about, I actually did not even see this. People have quoted it like eight times to me. And I was like, fine, I will talk about it. But she said something about studs are not presented in the LGB. Represented in LGBTQIA because there's no S like there's no I'm like, please tell me she was joking because the very first letter in LGBTQIA is lesbian and that's what's that? It's not those letters are not a collection of like Presentations like we are this is stud is one subsect of the lesbian community. There aren't multiple. Let's gay I so you know again was never a fan of whatever her again that whole people who do skits and stuff and every video I've seen of her and her Mask home girl. I almost said that's clearly wrong. Her mask home girls is them like oh I can do both like I can be a pretty princess and I can be a nigger and you know that sort of thing So it's just never been for me But when you step so far outside of what you know like talk about being bisexual when you're drunk talk about dating straight girls Don't this First trying to go toe-to-toe with Samira and act like you didn't even know who she who she was nigger You legit copied one of her videos almost verbatim like don't act like you had never seen her had never heard of her You wasn't talking about her in the video you did the things that she like you were making fun of her by doing it But like she goes into stores and ask the employees like are there plus sizes sold here or if there's a plus size section Where is it does this come in such a such size like she's genuinely asking because she needs clothing You're going into Walmart and harassing people who are looking at you probably like they don't know what the fuck they are even watching right now Like they don't even know what the fuck is in front of them right now and being stupid because you thought niggers on the internet was gonna laugh at it so I suggest those of you who still are like well, you know I don't always agree with Samira, but this is dumb or you know Samira gets on my nerves But I don't appreciate that I suggest y'all go read the books that Samira keeps posting about and telling you niggers to read about if you want to learn about where she's coming from Because the answers to the questions you have about why she advocates for plus size people and why it's important and why it's necessary They're right there in those books Because they don't like her just because she's a fat they don't like her because it's right They don't like her because she's fat and a fat activist if she was skinny and a fat activist It would be just fine and oh my god. Yes, queen exactly Quint of inclusivity. Oh my god. Yes, she gets it everybody should be Blake lily or whatever Blake lily was out here saying these certain things But because Samira has a body that y'all don't think is worthy y'all talk terrible about her when she is Direct you don't have to like it, but I have not seen one video of that girl actually being wrong So please do go start with fear. That's what I was going ask like why is this this easy girl messing with her Because it's very easy first of all and and she said that in one of her lives She was like the girl y'all said I'm talking about is weird that y'all are even mad at me now because when I read her comments It's a bunch of people being like oh here you go again shut your bitch and sub not this again damn it gets to a point Maybe guys trying to tell you something like people are very mean to Samira in her comments, but She was like let me yeah, let me do it too. Yeah, since everybody is since it's okay to be mean to Samira. Let me do it too Go read fearing the black body the racial origins of fat foe by Sabrina string start right there go find Samira's Tiktok one and and I know y'all not and this is what I love about Samira She does not bother to turn around and try to break things down on a one-on-one level to you niggas Because if you genuinely wanted to learn you would go read the god damn resources She's given to you don't want to learn you want to be mean on the internet That's gospel true I would need to watch her so easy can take her strap and fuck herself right into the next dimension Somewhere weird as bitch and you're weird as friends fuck out of here I mean dick dyke to the fullest And last but not least this Brooklyn Beckham thing I don't know too much about it child of Victoria and David Beckham. Okay Apparently the family versus Brooklyn Beckham has been a thing for a while Right, I was also shocked apparently they are not on speaking terms they haven't been for a while He married a billionaire Nikola Peltz Our dad's I don't know an investor investment banker or something but anyway It's been drama between you know the Beckham family versus Brooklyn for a while and Brooklyn put out a statement a couple of days ago One thing I notice is that he and his wife have the same Name as far as like middle and last names like her name is Nikola Peltz Beckham. His name is now at least on Instagram Brooklyn Peltz Beckham So I thought that's interesting It's rare to see a man do something like that too. It's almost like he has really he's making it clear That he has set up a new family with this person and whatever you bitches are talking about none of his fucking business Um, but so Brooklyn God on Instagram was like yeah, I've been silent for years I've tried to keep it private but my parents and their team keep leaking shit in the press talking about shit in the press So let me just be clear. I don't want to reconcile with them niggas My wife is not controlling me her family is not controlling me. Yes, they're You niggas are rich you niggas are rich so this back and forth about money. I don't really care But what y'all don't know Is that posh spice and David Beckham for decades have been making sure that the narrative about our family is very controlled Um, and everything is performative the shit y'all see and you know the cute little clips from the Netflix A documentary where he's like, oh, you know, I got picked up in a Rolls Royce or whatever all those fun cute little moments that you've seen from them over the years All of that is very intentional my mama weird my daddy weird They got involved with our wedding. They had her his wife's wedding dress cancelled or something his mom was supposed to make it Right, so he goes into detail of how like the night before the wedding some people in his family told him that Nikola is not blood She will never be family this sort of thing like I'm marrying this woman mind you Um, that during the ceremony his wife his mama got up there and hijacked the first dance And was dancing inappropriately which now I'm just praying for the video for this to come out because posh did you get up there during the first dance and twerk on your son or some shit like what's being I'm like I really need to know what inappropriately he said I've never He said I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life And that they are going to renew their vow so that they can have new memories of their wedding day Because yes talking about how this his family has done nothing but disrespect her And her people that his mama was still calling his ex-girlfriends and like having them come around and shit like trying to get him away from this girl So I feel like it's either You know you you're either on the side where you believe David and Victorian is like oh this girl is evil And she's trying to take us away from our son and she's poisoning him and mind controlling all this or you Are maybe leaning towards believing Brooklyn and being like they're threatened because they didn't think any of their kids Especially their sons. I don't know if they have any daughters But I'm sure they never thought that their sons would marry into a family richer than theirs And so Damn any kind of control y'all thought y'all could have it's real many over here babies So you know of course I don't know what's true But I tend to be on the side of the young people being like I don't talk to them people I've tried so hard despite and he even said you know despite years of this treatment We still tried to show up for my dad's birthday blah blah and all that sounds very consistent to me of adult children who are trying to have relationships with their family who For whatever reason is simply not working out and so he said you know This narrative that my wife controlled me is completely backwards. I've been controlled by my parents for most of my life I grew up with overwhelming anxiety and this is the first time that anxiety is actually gone I wake up every morning grateful I have peace and relief and I don't want y'all's life. That's all about the press and cameras and image And who thinks this and who says that all I want is peace privacy and happiness for me and my family So stop asking me about them niggas. We're not cool and we're not gonna be cool. And I mean it said I'm happy I am happy ever since I'd never Right, so again, I don't know what the truth is here. I air on the side of the of the youth but the idea that Victoria and David couldn't have possibly done this because spice girls or Because -Orgas of football, yeah. It is like-- -Because, well, I watched the Victoria's documentary and that clip that went viral of him being like, "Tell the truth, be honest about your family." -I forgot about that. -Yeah, I forgot about that. Y'all let little moments like that make you think that you know these people. And that's done on purpose. Those moments are curated and put out on purpose. -That's why they make it. -To make you feel connected to them. You see how this girl's family ain't never did no reality. Nothing they don't have to. That's real money over there. They don't have cameras set up. Bitch, we're well, we got chicks. -I am entertainers. -My mom and I don't have no job. Fucking you talking about. Bitch, my mom ain't even listening. I'm late at this bitch. I actually just bought a spice, a spice girl's video game. Someone on Patreon told me there's a spice girl's video game. They were on the first PlayStation and I was like, "What the fuck are you talking about?" They looked it up on Amazon. It was $10. It just came in the mail yesterday. I am inclined to believe Brooklyn, acknowledging I don't know anything. -Right. -It could be untrue. Simply because, as you said, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham have been incredibly showy and forced about the magnitude of their wealth and riches and all of the fancy things they have. And almost presenting them so they are royalty. And I could understand that because David Beckham was one of them. I'm sure they get treated like that. And so I would guess that they have been probably really controlling tricks, possibly even manipulative. Because, first of all, regular, regular parents or anyway. But these parents are like, image. And we have to give Matt when we go to buy our biscuit. And you know what I mean? I am a little bit more inclined to believe this kid who's like, "These people have been really, really controlling, very, very forced. All his bullshit was fake. All my life." And I finally found peace and happiness because I sit up boundaries and told them, "Stop talking to me." So, I'm going to tell you the same thing. Stop talking to me. I'm happy. That is all that matters. I'm inclined to believe them. -I am too. But again, because none of us do know these people and none of us are there. That's why I'm saying for the rest of you who are like, "I don't know. Just don't let the fact that you used to perform, posh-spice songs with your friends in middle school. Don't let that be the reason to where you online now, arguing with this man and being like, "No, your mother's a saint." You've never met that lady. She would ask you to take her coat and bring her back her coat check ticket if she met you. She would assume you were in both of your eyes. She would be like, "Oh, no, her derps me, thanks." Just a club soda, thanks. Her name was posh-spice. Like, "Oh, all right, yeah." Baby, I was sitting here playing this all-dass playstation 3 yesterday, hitting crosses and trying. You'll talk to me. I was like, "Come on out!" And then she could still get in the bin if she terrorized her child. -Right, right. -Like, it's just really that easy for me. So, right, so let's just all remember that we don't, because even I had a moment of, not David and Victoria, like-- -Same. -Privedly. I had this moment of like, "Not them, but then you know what? Why not them?" -Really? -It really could be-- -What makes that impossible? -It really could be anybody. -She's a former pop star. -Right, being rich don't mean that you are mature. And you can just listen to the hot talk every week if you don't believe that, because it's rich weirdos all over the place, baby. So, just don't let your personal feelings about posh-spacifically, but both of them. Don't let the-- Oh, but I've been a big fan for so long. Don't let that cause you to go invalidate this, man, because you, again, you don't know these niggas. -So, we don't know them. -You don't. And here-- You know who does? Brooklyn. -There's one. There's one. -Yeah. -There's one. There's one. -I'm sorry. -Yeah. -Brooklyn Peltz. Beckham. -Beckham. -Yes. -Work. -Billionaire. Billionaire. -I love the idea that they just can't stand this bitch. -I really think that's it. I think that is so fierce and it's possible. -She's not honored to be party y'all's family. She don't have to go along with y'all's. -Sweetie, I've been rich. Like, my whole life, every living day, fine. -I'm young and gorgeous and extremely wealthy. No, I'm not getting into hair and makeup to shoot y'all's reality show. No, I'm not finna be, anyway, wishing the best for everyone involved, no matter how that shakes out. -Yeah. -Just thought I would issue a little reminder for those of you like me who had a twinge of, "Oh, no. Well, it's possible. It is always possible." And we're going to end it right there. That is going to wrap up this week's episode of The Read. Follow us online. This is The Read. Crystal Scouts. -The brother is talking shit. -Oh, see? Right. It really is Brooklyn versus everybody else. Right. But also don't know. Brooklyn might be the oldest. -Yeah, I think he's the oldest here. -The oldest we have and sometimes we have a completely different experience than the rest of them, but. -Remember when you said he was like, "The younger ones get a different parent." -Unfortunately, that really does happen. -The youngest must say, "He woke up one day and Brooklyn, I just blocked everybody." -I don't want to speculate, but there's so many. -I don't either. -I really don't want to because these are famous people, but and I don't know. I'm not nobody's therapist, and I've never met not one of these crackers, so. -I just don't find it very hard to believe that. -Right. It's not hard to believe. -The first year. Super famous family couple that has been famous for like over 20 years now and has a million PR people in the NDAs. I wouldn't find that surprising that they could have been very controlling it.
