[00:01:32] Speaker B: All right, Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning. Good morning, fam. We're back with another episode. I'm so happy to have my girls with me. Where my girls at? From the front to back. What you feeling? That I would say, my man. [00:01:53] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:01:55] Speaker D: Play yourself. [00:01:58] Speaker B: Good morning, twin with me on the mics. And we got research team. [00:02:05] Speaker C: What's up, what's up, what's up? [00:02:07] Speaker B: And I am P Money. And we are call your cousins podcast. How y'all feeling? I'm one. [00:02:19] Speaker D: I too, am tired. I almost canceled on y'all ass because I'm fresh off the boat. Literally landed at 8:00 last night. But I'm good, you know, I went to Cabo. It was amazing. [00:02:40] Speaker B: You look like you had a good time. [00:02:43] Speaker D: I did, I did. And I feel like of all the things that happened to me, only I would have had as wonderful a time as I did, because I was definitely detained, as y'all know, bringing my ganja, which I always travel with. Y'all know I travel with my medicinal served herbs. And your girl was extorted by the federal lays. Y'all kidnapped. Rode around Cabo for five hours in the back of a police car. Now, I don't even know if it was a police car, y'all. I ain't have no. No, they never arrest me. Okay? No cuffs. They were asking me, am I hungry in the car? Huh? I mean, I am, but. What the is going on here? So, long story long. I ended up at this dirty house. Somebody would sleep on the couch. They're supposed to be the prosecutor's office, y'all. It's some random house people sleep in there. Some men on the phone laughing. I say, okay, I ain't gonna make it back to the States. They end up trying to get your girl for eleven hundred dollars. And I kindly called Chase as soon as I got to the resort and said I was kidnapped and extorted. I was held against my will. Please send me my funds back asap. And guess who had their funds back. As soon as I got on the plane, it's up. And they gave me my weed back. [00:04:28] Speaker B: Okay? But for us stateside, you had us in a chokehold for a good couple hours. We were worried. We were worried. [00:04:43] Speaker D: And I. I felt bad because I was like, I should have never told nobody because I am not concerned. And I know I don't made everybody else concerned. Make sure somebody know in case I die. You know what I'm saying, y'all? I don't went off on customs. They should have arrested me. Something is wrong with me, y'all. I don't went off on customs. I'm the one in the wrong smug drug trafficking. And I'm like, y'all either gonna arrest me or not, but what I'm not gonna do is send this airport for five hours. [00:05:17] Speaker B: Okay? I hope we learned a valuable lesson. I hope. [00:05:24] Speaker D: But, hi, next time, hide the ganja better. Like, you see, I don't got. I don't got real slick with it. I don't got real arrogant. And I put it at the top of the bag instead of where I usually put it. So moral of the story is what? Nigel Weed and paraphernalia Better guys so the federal don't come for you. That's what I mean. [00:05:54] Speaker B: All I kept thinking about was that hard skit that he had about when he was they. You know. And I heard they had been cracking down on customs going into Mexico, so I thought it was. That's all I kept thinking about was, dang, you got the red light. You didn't get the green light. [00:06:19] Speaker D: It's not even because I. I had my medicinal services with me in May in Mexico. And my two friends in front of me, they didn't even get stopped. Also, the real thing, I was mad about the Federal. Raleigh took every single thing out of my bag and just left it there. Talking about closed the bag, put my back the. [00:06:47] Speaker B: Okay, research team. How you doing, girl? [00:06:56] Speaker C: You know, I'm hanging in there. I'm tired, though. I'm tired physically, mentally tired, but I am. I'M ready for homecoming, so. [00:07:10] Speaker D: Oh, y'all hear your nephew in the background? That's a good segue into my announcement. [00:07:18] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:18] Speaker D: Oh, boy. I have officially taken my blanket from corporate America. It's up. Your girl was fired October 1st, and it's been up ever since. Okay. I just feel like I started a whole new life. My real life has officially begun. I have. I've been outside ever since. It's up. Remember I said I'm gonna be homeless or rich by 40, but I won't be in corporate America. [00:07:58] Speaker C: 6. [00:07:59] Speaker D: I am no longer a slave to the white man. [00:08:07] Speaker C: Congrats. [00:08:08] Speaker D: I'm tired from. From living my life like it's golden. That's my mental health check in. I ain't had no anxiety medicine in three weeks. Wow. [00:08:25] Speaker C: P. How are you? [00:08:31] Speaker B: I was. I would say I'm okay. You know, that's all I really got. I don't have much. Yeah, I don't have much. You know, I. I just. We have the election coming up. It was hurricanes chasing us down here in Florida for all October. You know, it's just been a time here, and I think that, you know, for me, a lot of the craziness feels like people around you try to normalize it all. And I just. I'm starting to realize it's not normal. And so I'm happy to report that, you know, I am actively back in therapy, which is nice. My therapist is a sister, which I enjoy getting a really good therapist. And so, yeah, I've been seeing her in. It's always nice to just talk these things out, because I think that, you know, that's just one of those things where with mental health and you're isolated a little bit and you're trying to navigate in the world, it just becomes a lot. And so. Yeah. But I'd say I'm okay. It's a beautiful day in sunny South Florida, actually. [00:10:09] Speaker D: Look, y'all, it's. It's definitely giving winter up here. [00:10:14] Speaker B: I miss winter. [00:10:17] Speaker C: You can have it. You could. You got. It's 40. 40 out the gate. [00:10:22] Speaker B: I told you. I, like. I think I said this on the pod so many times. You did. [00:10:26] Speaker C: And I don't understand. [00:10:32] Speaker D: Well, we could just switch places. The cold don't do. The only thing that I like about when it gets chilly is homecoming and the Halloween. That's it. [00:10:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:48] Speaker D: And Christmas. I do enjoy Christmas. [00:10:53] Speaker C: Listen. [00:10:54] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I like. [00:10:58] Speaker C: I like Christmas. I like Thanksgiving. I don't like the weather associated with those holidays. But, you know, it is what it is. But Yeah, I really like Thanksgiving and Christmas. [00:11:14] Speaker D: You know, I feel like the past few years, I only really been fucking with Thanksgiving. For real. [00:11:23] Speaker B: Like, I love that. Yeah. [00:11:25] Speaker D: Time. Love Christmas, love New Year's. I don't really with Thanksgiving. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:33] Speaker D: I'm about to say, what are we celebrating? You know, the Native Americans were slaughtered. It's just a time for people to show their ass. It's gonna be a one people in the kitchen while the watching football ain't doing. And now I'm too tired after cooking for hours to even enjoy the holiday. Like a steakhouse, please, with some scotch. Because all that other. And then you got to see family you don't even care about, like, be trying to show up that you ain't seen all year. Bye. [00:12:09] Speaker B: Well, you know, you know, I. You know, I think we've been on that same kind of wavelength for a while now. And I think the last time I hosted Thanksgiving was in Cali. And yeah, after that, I was like, I'm never doing this again. Like, and I. And I think, honestly, I think what people want is just plans. Like, if you really, like, scale back, it's like, people just want plans over that time because the world dictates they should have plans. That's really what it is. Because, you know, like, even if we go to the steakhouse, it's going to be Thanksgiving themed. Right. And so I think that's what it really boils down to. But I just would be curious to see how this Thanksgiving is going to be after the election, you know, because, I mean, the politicking is politicking right now, to be honest. And I just, I'm really cannot wait until the election is over with because one, I'm tired of the text messages. I'm tired of the ad. [00:13:24] Speaker D: Real aggressive. They text me yesterday, somebody at address has not voted. Damn, bitch. [00:13:36] Speaker B: You know, and so I feel like we haven't had that. Y'all correct me if I'm wrong, listeners, but I haven't seen the rosy pumpkin, you know, the psl. I haven't seen the fun Publix commercial, you know, with the salt and pepper shakers. Oh, yeah, you know, I ain't seen none of that. All I keep seeing is horror, destruction in the end of the world. And correct me if I'm wrong, because, you know, we be on Twitter, and Twitter is owned by Elon, and it's like everyone was so excited about his robot reveal, and I'm like, that's not exciting. Like, that's not reveal. He had a whole line of like, the robots and the cab, the automated cab and like, all these big vehicles. It was kind of like a showcase of what he is got going on, you know, Trust Elon. [00:14:40] Speaker D: Technology. For real. I literally forgot a Tesla. [00:14:44] Speaker C: I literally just saw the Tesla drive into oncoming traffic, and the person was like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe he did that. [00:14:50] Speaker B: And I'm like, this is. [00:14:52] Speaker D: I don't trust his technology. He's not really a technologist, for real. He's like a. He's like a poor man's technologist, like, for. For the average person who don't really know that much about technology, you know what I'm saying? I've never really. I've never really been like, yeah, he is. It's not. I don't want to try his. [00:15:14] Speaker B: No, I think a lot of people don't know that, you know, and so, because he owns Twitter, I feel like this political. Every other tweet is like, he's actively engaged in a political side, which just is like. Like I said, horror, indoor world destruction. And, you know, I really started thinking about that with the election. We said a couple episodes back, like, they were going to get real goofy with it, you know, regardless. But I just have to think, like, is the end of the world really going to be. If VP Harris gets selected, Will the end of the world really happen if Trump gets selected? [00:16:06] Speaker D: I think. I think the end of the world is underway. Somebody that I was talking to this past weekend randomly said that. I was like, now I'd be trying not to go too far and down the rabbit hole with folks, but it's given. End of the world. I don't. I think it's going to be a foolish. No matter who in office now, obviously, it's going to be more foolish with that clown, but I feel like the state of politics and the stake of economics is just so in the gutter that I'm not really seeing an upside with anyone being in office. For real now. I'm a vote. But I have been steering clear of politics. Any of the foolishness going on, I don't even care. I'm gonna go cast my ballot and I'm gonna just move on. [00:17:00] Speaker B: I'm telling y'all, you know, it's after. Especially after, you know, being faced with death with Hurricane Milton. I think, you know, honestly, I would truly say, as a collective, I think that the Lord heard our prayers and he was like, they don't really want to die. I really think that's how that went down. Right? Like, they had Never, ever seen a storm of that kind of magnitude ever, ever. Like it was outpacing out, tracking the models, you know, and even down to landfall. Right. Like it ended up shifting south of Tampa, which, you know, for the most part, you know, did Tampa, you know, a goodness by not having a direct hit, obviously impacted other areas of the Florida coast, but Gulf coast. But you know, it's just one of those things where it's like when you see something that dangerous heading your way, this is in, this was the first time I've seen everyone take it seriously. And so I like to parallel that with the election where no one was, no one understands how dangerous this was back when they initially elected Trump. Right. And also though how just democracy in America is truly in danger because of the two party system. Like in some regard, y'all let this happen. And I say that because that's what if anybody is watching Obama right now, he's given that. He's given it. What he's given in his speeches is pure smoke. I ain't never heard Obama talk like this before. And it's like almost like, well, if we don't vote for her, this is what's going to happen. Right. And that's how, you know, it's really bad because for the most part, Obama as a president really was one that just stabilized the democracy at that point. Right. You had everyone at that point wanted to throw Bush off a cliff. Right. People were so sick of him at that point where you had Obama, who was like a stabilizing force. And it's almost like he's given that a little bit. And I kind of am just like, we really are headed towards doom. [00:19:45] Speaker D: Yeah, doom and gloom. [00:19:48] Speaker B: Because the last time he was out there was for Hillary and it was the same thing. He's on the campaign trail, you know, trying to do his very best. And it's almost like I saw him in the rally or just clips. I haven't been watching closely, but I saw some clips from Arizona where McCain was. And I'm like, y'all forgot that McCain was one of the most celebrated and decorated politicians ever. And he told them that Donald Trump could not come to his funeral. Don't invite that. [00:20:25] Speaker C: What? [00:20:26] Speaker D: Yeah, he definitely said that. [00:20:27] Speaker C: And I missed all of that a. [00:20:31] Speaker D: While ago, you know, because I ain't really like McCain like that. But I started with him after he said that. [00:20:42] Speaker B: But you get what I'm saying. So it's like, you know what I'm saying? I'm talking about danger, like Will Robinson. Danger, danger, danger. Right. Like danger is approaching, Daenerys is approaching, doom is happening. [00:20:55] Speaker D: And be honest. And this is how I feel about politics, American politics. It's really been going down the drain for a long time. And I feel like we are just getting our reckoning now because the, the country is really pretty divided between white supremacists and everybody else. And I feel like the white supremacists are more prevalent and have hidden agendas more than, than they used to overtly. But I think because the country has been progressing so much, they've been coming out like, oh, no, this is. This too far. This is too far. We need to take it back to the 80s when black people was on crack and Reagan was in office trashing everything. That's. That's when everything was great. Let's just go on back there. And it's like, because we've had a clown in office before Reagan, but I feel like a lot of us just weren't alive back then. And we haven't really done our research, which is why they want to take, you know, certain curriculum out of the schools. But if you study your. I took AP US History, the been ghetto from the beginning. And they don't want us to know that because our, our, our system really needs a, A, A overhaul. For real. It don't matter if Obama, Camala, whoever, running the system is garbage and everybody's lying to everybody. [00:22:41] Speaker B: That's the gag. Right? Right. Like, that's, that's the actual. When you're having these conversations with people and you're thinking, like you said back to the civil rights era, for example, one of the probably most pinnacle points in American history where people said the system is really, this ain't work. This ain't it. Right? This ain't it. And so what I try to explain to those who are white and don't really see the racism within their moves, their actions and the way they think, it's like those things were done at great sacrifice. Right? Like the civil rights movement didn't happen where black people were uprising and the whites was cool with it. They weren't cool with it. Like in, in Perspective now. Like, you wouldn't imagine that you go into a Chick Fil A, a Christian establishment and it would be white, only you couldn't imagine it. Like in today's society, you would not imagine it. But that was not that long ago. There are people living right now breathing, who are voting, who remember that, okay? They live through that. They sacrifice for that. And so I think that it's also one of Those things where like, okay, if you want to think about the audacity of hope in, in terms of, you know, one of Obama's corny phrase, it's like, okay, if that's true then it must be sorrowful for a person who went through that era and then here you still dealing with it today. [00:24:30] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:24:33] Speaker B: And like are we not. Do we just want to push the needle at milliseter millimeters, centipedes, or do we just want to take the whole system down completely? [00:24:47] Speaker D: I'm ready for the revolution. Whenever, whenever the revolution starts, that's when I'm gonna tap back into politics. Because otherwise it's just the same shit year after year. It don't matter who in the office. [00:24:59] Speaker B: And it, you know, it's, it's just one of those things where like again you know, to capsize it or put a cornerstone to it or crosswords with Hurricane Milton Helene. Right. And just these massive natural disasters and extreme heat related events. It's just you have to start thinking like, okay, if those things happen and then you have like right now, because of misinformation, they had their withdrawal at some point in North Carolina, the FEMA workers, because they had given so much, so much misinformation about FEMA to the public that they started having militias, the white militias, because they know black people were this where the disaster. I mean there are black people, but it's mostly, you know, white population in those areas that were devastated by Helene. But they actually started forming militias to attack the FEMA workers where they had to withdraw. The FEMA workers. [00:26:09] Speaker C: Wait, what? [00:26:10] Speaker B: The female workers don't have nothing to do? Exactly. They don't have nothing. The actual FEMA workers, the people that show up today 9 to 5 don't have nothing to do with what's happening in Washington? Nothing. [00:26:25] Speaker C: Just dumb. [00:26:27] Speaker B: And people don't understand how FEMA works. The federal government does not. Like we have this misunderstanding and miss you know, romanticized thoughts that the government is going to save us. It will not covet. Should have taught everybody that the government is not going to save us, period. It can't save us from a natural disaster. It can't save us from a terrorist attack. Like does it fight terrorism? Absolutely. Could it save us from it? No. It can't save us from terrorism. Walking in the schools or walking into buildings with guns. It can't save us from police brutality. It cannot save us. And so yeah, it can't save us. [00:27:18] Speaker D: Or it won't save us. [00:27:20] Speaker B: It can't. It can't because it goes Back to your point where you said, like, the system itself needs an overhaul and it needs a reset. It needs to be fixed. And the only point in American history where that could have actually happened was after the Civil War during the Reconstruction era. And it didn't occur then. You know, as soon as Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, it was very easy for politicians on both sides, the north and the south, to just de facto back to, you know, regular old racist things. It was easy. The hard thing is to reimagine, re, recalibrate, rethink, remodel, retool. And that's what, you know, and that's the biggest thing that AI will do as a whole. It will watershed everything, right? It will level the playing field. And, you know, then we're going to really see because the two party system has been failing the American people for so long that. But it's still important that you guys go out and vote. Please make sure that you go out and vote. I got my sample ballot in the mail. I got my sample ballot in my email. Please, guys, you have to go and vote. It's not just between Kamala, VP Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump. You have Senate races going on. You have in some areas, sheriff races. You have laws that are on the ballot. Please make sure that you are informed. Make a plan to vote. Don't just show up and take your pencil in there or your Len. You need to actually know what you're voting for. [00:29:14] Speaker C: Be an informed voter casting a ballot. [00:29:18] Speaker D: Y'all stop being distracted by whether Kamala, Jamaican, black, Indian, whatever the who, we don't care. Just stop. You argue about the wrong thing, and that is exactly what the, the right wants us to focus on. Stop arguing on Twitter about that lady's heritage. That ain't got nothing to do with the company. The country going to shit. [00:29:45] Speaker B: No. And, you know, I would say that, you know, whatever you decide to vote for, the one thing that I have seen in the last couple of weeks, as we get closer, you know, now people are actually starting to vote, is her willingness to take the gloves off a little bit. And I think that's important because one thing, if BP Harris is elected as President of the United States, the one thing that we know as all of us on here, as black women in any type of leadership role is it's going to be a job of jobs. And it's going to be like with Keisha. Remember when Keisha got so tired of y'all in Atlanta, she said, I'm done. [00:30:35] Speaker D: Keisha. I loved her so Much. She said, you know. [00:30:42] Speaker B: You know what. [00:30:42] Speaker D: What's not gonna happen. [00:30:44] Speaker B: Keisha last bottom said, all right. [00:30:47] Speaker D: And he ain't resurfaced since. [00:30:50] Speaker C: Yeah, she been. [00:30:52] Speaker D: That would be me. [00:30:54] Speaker B: She said, I'm done. [00:30:57] Speaker D: I'm out. But you know what? [00:30:59] Speaker C: You got to worry about me no more. [00:31:01] Speaker D: And I'm not sure that a overhaul of the system is even feasible, because let's just be honest and keep it real. The average person is stupid. And those of us who are intelligent and intellectuals and want to bring about change, like Keisha, we gotta be Stacy. Stacy. I love her because she is so tenacious and perseverance. Like, she don't. She don't let these people upset her. But let's. Let's keep it g. Working with stupid people will have you being like, you know what? I'm gonna just go live on a beach and let the rest of you figure it out. Because I. I just can't. It's. It's not enough brain cells in the room, and I can't be the only one here with something intelligent to say. I just can't do it. [00:31:55] Speaker B: Well, because, you know, one thing that I. I forget, the. The former first lady that just passed away, they were all at the funeral with. It was Bill, Barack, and Joe. And you could tell Obama Barat was on Joe Net talking cash. Because if you notice, Joe ain't been at one rally with Kamala. Not one. Not one. And like you just said it, he is giving. Imma just. Imma let y'all deal with it. That's what it's giving. [00:32:39] Speaker D: You don't need to be there. His old ass. [00:32:40] Speaker C: I was about to say, I don't know. [00:32:43] Speaker D: Yeah, but he's trying to give her the spotlight, so people don't necessarily associate him anymore. [00:32:53] Speaker B: But those are. You gotta remember, though, for the people who were gonna vote for him, it almost looks like he distanced himself and not in a positive way. Right. So I made that comment based on what you were just saying where you're like, people aren't that smart. Right. Or people lack that kind of, you know, intelligence. Just one of the things that I noticed that it looked like Obama was giving him a handful some words about how he hasn't, you know, been at least visual, if anything, at these rallies for her and showing support and solidarity, because solidarity is important. The biggest thing that you just mentioned, twin, is that if everybody is not in agreement with the overhaul, it's not feasible. Right. Like, in hindsight, that's the thing that people don't get is if everybody's not in. You know, arguably, probably one of the reasons why JFK was assassinated. Right. Like, he was 100% committed to the overhaul of doing things different. You know, the space age, the space race, you know, attacking. Actually attacking civil rights. And the last time you had radical thinking like that was, you know, Abraham Lincoln kind of, you know, tiptoed along it, but that's because you had a civil war. And so I just say all that to say, like, again, everybody, please make sure you go and vote. I'm super excited. I love voting. It's one of the few things that I enjoy doing in America other than going to a gun range and shoot my gun. And I'm gonna go next week. Early voting started. I think early voting has already started in the ga. Yeah, I'm gonna vote tomorrow. It started. I think it starts here in Florida this week. So I'm super, super excited. Starts early voting, I believe, starts tomorrow here. Whenever you guys listen in at this point to the pod, I'm sure some of y'all would have already voted, but please go out and vote. You gotta vote. Is voting is important. And don't not vote. You have to cast the vote. If not for yourself, do it for your ancestors. [00:35:27] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:35:28] Speaker B: You know, because, man, that's. That'd be the other thing when we know it's going bad. When all the ant. When. When the. When our. Our legends start. The transition into the ancestral plane. Well, I've seen Houston pass rp, End of the era into Alzheimer's. Just. [00:36:04] Speaker D: I mean, Alzheimer's is trash. I love the Whitney so much. My still my all time favorite artist. And it is strange, like, I feel like this kind of stuff that people don't really prepare you for. Like people from your childhood, like. [00:36:26] Speaker C: Legends. [00:36:27] Speaker D: Yeah. And it's like, oh, death is real. [00:36:32] Speaker B: Yeah. Gerald. James Earl Jones, John Amos. [00:36:43] Speaker D: You know what? [00:36:43] Speaker B: You know who really hit me hard because I'm just ridiculous is that old white lady from. Oh, Professor McGonagal. [00:36:55] Speaker D: Professor McGonagall. I ain't gonna lie, y'all. I was real. I was up over there. [00:37:02] Speaker B: Amen. I took my one night and I went outside and I held it up to the sky. [00:37:09] Speaker D: Pull one out. I had. I had to hug Ray. You know, she was a. [00:37:14] Speaker B: A cat lover. Yeah. [00:37:16] Speaker C: She was in a movie with what's his name. He passed 10 years ago. Dang. His name is, like on the tip of my tongue. I feel so bad. White guy, comedian. Thank you. Okay. Robin Williams. They were in, like, some movie. And her. Her, like Big line that they brought back up on the Internet was like, I'll see you in 10 years. I haven't seen you in 10 years. And, like, I think 10 years to the date is when she passed. And somebody was like, now they get to see each other again. I said, oh, my God, that ain't the status. [00:38:00] Speaker B: Oh, no, I won't say. [00:38:02] Speaker D: I don't. I don't want to say sad, though, because I've been. My. My views of death have shifted dramatically over the last eight years, and I feel like coming to terms with it helps you to get your life on track and, like, actually pursue the things that you really want to do. Because this lady was 89, like, lived a full life. Tony Award, you know what I mean? Like, Academy Awards, several accolades. Like, what more can you ask for? You know, like, we feel sad because it's the end of an era, you know, good times. But the lady lived her life. And I feel like when stuff like this happens, it just makes me reflect on, am I doing what I was called to do right now? [00:38:58] Speaker B: What if I die tomorrow, girl? [00:39:01] Speaker D: Am I enjoying my. Am I happy, girl? Am I gonna die tomorrow and feel like, oh, my God, I ain't do this. I ain't do that. I ain't do this. No. [00:39:14] Speaker B: Hey, listen it. And it's. Those are. I would say for me, the deafening conversations that constantly go over and over and over in my head, because that. Those. You know, are you. Are you doing what you have been called to do? Because the truth is. We know the truth. The truth is that for the most part, most people don't. [00:39:51] Speaker D: No. And. And are too afraid to figure it out. And that's what I've realized. And I'm starting my. I think I want to do a. A vlog about my exit from corporate America and just being unemployed, child. Because when I've been telling people not y'all, but, yeah, because we've been there. See the fear on people face. You know what I'm saying? It's like, what you gonna do now? [00:40:17] Speaker B: I live life. [00:40:18] Speaker D: That's what I'm gonna do. And I always. You know, y'all, I always say I want to be rich and all this. I do want to be rich, but my real goal in life is to be free. And I feel like with riches comes a certain level of freedom. But I also feel like this season in my life is teaching me that money doesn't matter. And I know that sounds crazy, and I usually say, you know, people without money say that, but I have never Been without money. I have made more money than most black people, most people will ever make in their entire lives. And when I tell y'all that don't matter the matters 0%, but you have to be tapped in and really go on a self journey to be able to accept that and, like, be able to navigate life without being a slave to capitalism and money and. And really figuring out, okay, what is it that I want to do? Because you can go live in a shack and live your best life. Live in a shack in Tahiti. You know what I mean? Like, and so, girl, the way you listen, I will be rich. [00:41:35] Speaker B: You better preach. [00:41:36] Speaker D: I feel like getting there. Well, I feel like once I get there, I will. I will. It will just be so much better because I am learning that that don't even matter. Part of the reason why I want to be rich is just because I can. Like, I feel like I want to show other black people we can get there, but I also want to show us that we especially black people, we talented, we creative, we're smart. We built the country. Like, we don't have to be going to these people job every day for 12 an hour. We just don't. We built our black Wall Street. They burned that down. We can build that again. But we have just been so. And I really. I didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but I've just been having so many revelations. We. I don't know if we realize how beat up we have been from white people. We have been stomped into the ground and made to believe that we ain't. We never gonna be. And you better be happy for these crumbs. You get the crumbs that we gave them. We gave them the crumbs to give back to us. So my next journey in life, y'all, I just feel so passionate about it. I want us to not live out of fear. And it's time. We've gotten complacent. It's time for us to start our own revolution again. We talking about revolutionary politics. Black people need to start back on the revolution because we have just been so beat up and. And. And beaten into submission. We fight, arguing with each other over whether Kamala Indian or not. Child, you what. What are you doing? You've been making 17 an hour for the past 15 years. Something got to give. So that's my new journey, y'all. And it's just been so great. Like, I got a little bit of money put away, but I don't even feel nervous about money. I don't they don't care about us. The little crumbs they give you don't even matter, y'all. I don't made way well over six figures for the past 10 years. As soon as I had to take care of my parents in the trash. $0 negative $50,000 house. What? So how the rest of you getting along with dependents? Multiple dependents, Head of household. And y'all barely making 45k. Like, what is going on, y'all? I just feel like my mind has been open ever since they let me go and showed me that they don't give a. It's like, you know that, but until you really go through it and go on your own journey, it's like, oh, I've been wasting my life away striving for it. [00:44:32] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, I'm the corporate lad. [00:44:34] Speaker D: And be kicked back down every time that. [00:44:39] Speaker B: Wow. [00:44:42] Speaker D: I'm sorry. [00:44:43] Speaker B: Yeah. I feel like. I feel like. And with that, I feel like we got to just take a quick break because. [00:44:49] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. [00:44:50] Speaker B: I. I need some water that you. That was like. That's. That was one of those service twin that I think. [00:44:59] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. [00:45:00] Speaker B: We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna go get some. We go. Go get some refreshments and we're gonna be right back. What? [00:45:10] Speaker A: It ain't do its thing. [00:45:11] Speaker B: Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Now I'm feeling like the man when I walk through. Hey, tub. Hey. Welcome to the show. [00:45:19] Speaker A: Good job. What's good, y'all? A dub has entered the chat. [00:45:22] Speaker B: What up, though? What up? I know I gotta start doing that D. You know, we gotta rep for the D. We forget we have family there. What up, though? What up? [00:45:35] Speaker A: Recovery. Recovery. Yeah. [00:45:38] Speaker D: Same, same. [00:45:40] Speaker B: How your mental health, brother? How you. How that black man? How you feeling, black man? [00:45:45] Speaker A: I'm feeling. I'm. I'm all right. I'm all right. It is a beautiful day, though, so that helps. It's a really nice day outside in the. In the a. I hope it's a beautiful day where all our listeners are as well. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. [00:46:06] Speaker B: That's awesome. I feel like, you know, everybody is doing very glorious. It is a glorious Sunday. Okay. [00:46:16] Speaker D: S E X Y Y R E D. Play with me. I put a poll in your ticket. [00:46:21] Speaker A: I see what you. I see what you did there, P Money. I see what you did. [00:46:25] Speaker B: She said she'll put a pothole in your teeth. [00:46:30] Speaker D: Yeah. I don't know. I have a love hate relationship with sexy Red. Win not the Trump stuff, but I. [00:46:41] Speaker A: Kind of like it. She don't. She don't know no better in regards to that. Like, that's just. Well, I can't say don't know no better because, I mean, everybody has their own opinion, but come on. Yeah, I get what you're saying. [00:46:53] Speaker B: No, she. [00:46:54] Speaker A: Her and Big Low snapping. [00:46:55] Speaker B: Do they snap? [00:46:57] Speaker D: Agree. [00:46:58] Speaker B: Shout out to Big Glow. I have. I think I have continuously on this podcast said my love for Big Glow from the beginning with fn fnf. And I have to tell y'all, she created a classic. I. A classic album. Glorious is a classic album. Congratulations. It is a classic. You can. It's non Skip. It is shuffle proof. It is incredible. Congratulations, Glorilla. We are so proud of you, I think. And I love that she incorporated so much of, you know, Bootsy from Meg to Sexy Red to T Pain. I mean, she went and got Boss Man Glow. Like, she went and got Kirk Franklin. I mean, she did classic. Classic album. And I can't even. I get so excited because I can't even remember an album like this in recent memory. I cannot. There is not one Meg's album. And I love Meg. Meg's album isn't even this good. This album is skip proof. [00:48:29] Speaker D: No, that's riding double proof. Try to release us her. Her version. [00:48:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Get her the. The F out of here. But you know what? You know what I do like, it's actually kind of in the same realm of what you. What you're talking about. It's kind of like that Big Glow has Sexy Red on her album. Like, I think that's dope. Like, that's like some unity type. You know what I'm saying? It ain't like no. No hate because they make the same kind of like, ratchet music a little bit. [00:49:02] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:49:03] Speaker A: I think. I think Glows is a little more refined and a little more buttoned up, but it like, y'all ain't. Don't everybody got a beef and. And do all this dumb. Get on the. Get on the song together that. That make the best music. Like when Thug say yesterday tweeted for. I guess he tweeted from jail. Somebody tweet from jail that Future and Drake and Metro need to start collabing again. Stop all the. [00:49:29] Speaker D: Yeah. When I seen them together, I was like, you know what? This is what it's all about, for real. [00:49:35] Speaker A: Right? [00:49:36] Speaker D: Have a good time together and just give us some fire music, bruh. [00:49:41] Speaker A: That's all we care about is the music, bro. Like, the. The actual stuff is funny. And cool, but, bruh, just give us good music. [00:49:48] Speaker D: Yeah. And I feel like the more I learn about Glow, the more I like her. Like, she is true to herself and people be hating. I love her more than Sexy Red because I do feel like she hood, but she a little bit more refined. A little bit. [00:50:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:10] Speaker D: She's so true to herself. Like, she'd be like, f these. I ain't having your baby. Don't even come over here trying to trap me. [00:50:18] Speaker B: Then. Yeah, then she had. She had mu long. She had lotto on there. The Procedure song with that set it off in the back. What? The procedure. [00:50:35] Speaker A: See, now I'm gonna have to play this in. In its entirety. I haven't heard the full length yet, but all I. I only keep hearing good things about it, so now I'm gonna have to go check it out. [00:50:45] Speaker B: For real? For real. Yeah. [00:50:46] Speaker D: I would say for us, after the Gucci concert, which was lit as okay, but I come back to that, and. [00:50:56] Speaker B: I was like, oh, this. [00:50:57] Speaker D: That. What is this? Every song. What's this? [00:51:01] Speaker B: Listen. It's the. I would say my favorite song that she has on. There is one. And this is the one thing that I love that she does is it's very vulnerable right where that she gives in each of the songs. Where like in Glows Prayer, where she's talking about, you know, how all of us done prayed for, you know, these men, and then when we get them, it's like, this ain't the one I was playing. JK guy, take them back. I love that song. Let her cook. I mean, she kills. Let her cook. Stop playing with her, you know, don't deserve what her immune long she talked about, you know, how, you know, we all have had that friend that, you know, that we know that the guy she dated don't deserve her. And I just felt like that's what really made it good, was that it was very vulnerable. And it's very transparent because what you know about me, really? Because with that bootsy on Wipe Me Down, I mean, we all were there. When Wipe Me down came out. Wipe Me down became an instant classic. [00:52:23] Speaker D: Some of the young girlies didn't even know about it. I said, oh, no. [00:52:26] Speaker A: Crazy. [00:52:27] Speaker D: I know. I'm getting old. [00:52:28] Speaker A: They think Booy just on the Internet being funny? No. [00:52:33] Speaker B: Like, Booy created Booy and Webby held down Southern rap well into. [00:52:47] Speaker D: Wow. [00:52:48] Speaker B: I mean, years. I would say easily 05. I mean, I'm just thinking off the top of my head. 05. 06, 07, 08. I don't I don't know when Bootsy got locked up, but easy, easy, right? And so I feel like she did a really good job on that. That's what I love the most about that song. And Lotto kind of did it on her album, too, with some of the remakes she did. But specific to a classic like that, to do it correct and get it just right. And she threw back a shot at JT because, you know, her and jt. [00:53:34] Speaker A: Oh, they got beef. I didn't even know. [00:53:36] Speaker C: So, yeah, I know that. [00:53:37] Speaker D: I know that Beef, but I never. I never knew what it was about. [00:53:43] Speaker B: It was just, you know, I would say rap girl Beef, which all the rapper girls, they do it. But I thought that it was. I thought that. I thought it was nicely done. Because with this. And it goes back to what you said, Doug, with JT and even with Miami and even with Cardi. I think Cardi heard us on our last pod. Like, the rap. Rap is always about the next, better rap. Rap is always about the response. It's always about the response. It's about who can up the next person who can create the better album, who can create. You know, that's why with Glow's album, it's a classic. There's not going to be anybody who could contend. I don't think there will be anyone who can contend with this album, period. That's how good it is. Right? And so I think that when you have someone that is rapping that way and you're steadily moving the goalpost, it makes everybody else go harder. And that's why I like that she had Meg on there, that she had Lotto on there. You know what I mean? That she had all the girlies that are at the top of their game right now on the album, because that's what it should be like. It's like what Wayne always felt like. Like, he. Everybody know Wayne to go. It does nothing for him to move everybody forward. It does nothing for him but move everybody forward. And so I felt like what JT and Young Miami didn't really understand was just that, like, you can't rap about vagina all the time. Like, Trina could actually rap. Like, Trina could rap. Like, her blueprint. Yes. Was about that, but, like, it was so much more about vulnerable. [00:55:32] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. [00:55:33] Speaker B: Like, Trina would be talking about, you know, how she was in love and how, you know. You know, everything. What it encompasses being, you know, a bad woman, you know, or a baddie in Miami. That's what Trina would rap about. But I Don't think young Miami and JT really, like, stuck to that. [00:55:51] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:55:51] Speaker C: They don't get it. [00:55:53] Speaker B: And, like, I kind of like that she said that, you know, I ain't no, you know, BLEEP Cinderella. Because it's like, ain't nobody out here trying to have no ro. Ain't no. Ain't no romance out here. They ain't out here say who they saving? Who are who? Who are the men saving? Where the prince send the knight in shining armors? Where is child? They don't exist. So I kind of didn't like that. JT kind of went with that as her, like, her MO. It's like, what is the Cinderella? The Cinderella on Disney is white. It's a white lady. [00:56:34] Speaker A: Probably just marketing. And it's came off the tongue. Nice. It's just. That's all it was. You talking about City Cinderella, whatever that. That she calls herself. [00:56:44] Speaker D: Nobody gonna save you. [00:56:46] Speaker A: Hello. Mixtape was fire, though. I ain't gonna lie. [00:56:49] Speaker B: No, she can't really rap, but I guess what I'm saying is, like, when you come for somebody and they respond in this way, like, ready? [00:56:58] Speaker C: I hope she's ready. [00:56:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Because she said glow to P, and the P stand for poppy. You know, I love that lot. [00:57:08] Speaker D: I wish I liked a lotto like y'all do. [00:57:11] Speaker A: I know lotto be spitting. [00:57:14] Speaker D: I just. It just doesn't. I mean, lotto, it don't be hidden for me. [00:57:21] Speaker A: That's fine. That's fine. [00:57:29] Speaker C: Know, I'm an R B girly, so really, this. This not even my section, but I do, like. I do, like, glow. Like, she got a couple songs. I'm like, okay, I could. [00:57:39] Speaker B: I could rock with it. [00:57:40] Speaker C: And then her. You know, Money long got a song. So I was like, okay, okay. [00:57:46] Speaker D: But I also, just while we on the subject of rap girlies, I just want to remind you hoes that I am not sexy red. I am the original, okay? Been red, been red, been red since high school. Don't call me sexy Red. [00:58:04] Speaker A: Talk to them. [00:58:06] Speaker D: Let them know I'm the og. [00:58:09] Speaker B: Oh, speaking of which, we ain't even. We didn't even put this out there. Welcome home, Big Meech. [00:58:20] Speaker D: Welcome home. Okay. [00:58:23] Speaker A: They said, bro on his way to. To the halfway house, or he he there already. [00:58:27] Speaker B: But he already there. He home. He home, man. Welcome home, Big Meech. [00:58:31] Speaker D: I love that. [00:58:32] Speaker A: The first fresh air in 20 years. 20 plus years. [00:58:37] Speaker D: I think he was never coming home. [00:58:40] Speaker A: Nah, we knew he was coming home when his brother got out about five, six years ago. We knew he was coming home. [00:58:47] Speaker D: Maybe they can re give us a redo of bmf because that was trash. [00:58:52] Speaker B: The show. It wasn't that bad. [00:58:56] Speaker A: I really, I really enjoy the show. The acting is terrible, but I really. [00:58:59] Speaker D: The acting is terrible. [00:59:02] Speaker B: Oh, the acting is terrible. [00:59:03] Speaker A: Acting is so bad. But I, I really do enjoy it, though. I ain't gonna lie. [00:59:09] Speaker B: Yeah, but I like, you know, I like to see kings come home. You know, I rather see them what when we was growing up, what they say they either in prison, dead or in jail. And so he did all three. [00:59:22] Speaker A: Well, besides the dead, but yeah, you know, so. [00:59:26] Speaker B: And then also, you know, our last episode that we had out, blah, blah, blah. We want to make sure that we pay homage to Rich Homie Kwan. He has his new album that's out, y'all. Please make sure you stream. I checked it out. It was really good. Classic Rich Homie Quan gone too soon. You know, it's just one of those things where I feel like I, I hope people gonna give me his flaws while he home and, you know, he stay alive and, you know, he, he just, he can live out the days being home and don't do nothing like OJ and end up back in prison. But. Yeah, and then Summer Walker, she put out a little tease for her new album or song or something. I, I, I, I want to see someone walking back at work. It was like something she put on on Instagram. It looked, you know, quintessential Summer. So I just, I'm, I want her to get back to work. [01:00:32] Speaker C: Me too. [01:00:33] Speaker B: And y'all know who I do enjoy. [01:00:35] Speaker D: Cash doll. She got a new song. [01:00:39] Speaker B: Oh, Cash Detroit to the D. Yeah. [01:00:45] Speaker D: She got a new song out. It's fine. [01:00:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I cashed all. What it, what did she just. She was doing. Is she doing. Was that like a Halloween promo or something that she was doing or. It was just her normal social media stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cast all. But shoot. What y'all. Which I've been watching football. Anybody been watching football? [01:01:15] Speaker A: Oh, real quick, before we get off music, the, the thing with Big Meech. So when, when they posted it online and we all kind of found out that he was getting out. I think I wrote something and somebody else on in the. Under the comments was like, y'all forget that he killed people and sold drugs and get your lame ass, bruh. That's the same thing I was thinking. I was like, ain't nobody made that person do that crack. You know what I'm saying? That man did his time. He went through the. He went through the correct channels and processes and he did his time. Please just allow that man to come home and bro, like, get that the out of here. But that's all I wanted to say. [01:02:08] Speaker D: He served his time, right. Cultural icon. Get. Don't stop being miserable, bro. Yeah, I saw them comments too, Dub. I was like, I knew somebody do it, bro. [01:02:21] Speaker A: That pissed me off. I ain't gonna lie. I'm just like, bro, like, you can't just be happy the nigga is out of jail. [01:02:26] Speaker D: Like, he did what he did. [01:02:29] Speaker A: He sat there for 20 plus years. He got. He had time to repent. If he did, if he didn't, that's him. [01:02:36] Speaker B: They don't want nobody to rehabilitation. They don't believe in that. [01:02:42] Speaker A: But what I'm saying is he sat there, he did what he had to do, and let it be done. Let that man come home. Atlanta legend, they say. They say when he went to jail, the whole city was broken. That's what they said. They said when he was out here doing what he was doing, everybody had money, See? [01:03:04] Speaker D: And then go back to what I was talking about earlier. It's a scam. Okay. [01:03:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:10] Speaker D: You can get money anyhow without being a slave to the white man. [01:03:14] Speaker A: So sorry about that, y'all. I had a little. Little tirade. Red. Whatever. You. [01:03:20] Speaker D: I don't condone drug trafficking, however. [01:03:23] Speaker A: No, no, no, no, we don't. [01:03:25] Speaker D: I also don't condone black people being slaves to white people. [01:03:28] Speaker A: So if you are going to be a drug trafficker or a drug dealer, do it at the highest level. [01:03:34] Speaker D: That's. Be a kingpin. [01:03:36] Speaker A: That's what I on the corner selling dimes and mix, right? [01:03:41] Speaker D: You still broke. [01:03:44] Speaker A: Where they make movies and TV shows about you. [01:03:47] Speaker D: Do that big, do it that big. If you're gonna do it right, do it today. [01:03:54] Speaker B: Don't do it, do it. [01:03:56] Speaker D: I'm with you on that, right? Welcome home, Big Meech. [01:04:01] Speaker A: Welcome home, man. Welcome home. [01:04:05] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:04:06] Speaker A: Football, football, football. We got. [01:04:11] Speaker D: Georgia Tech lost yesterday. However, we are five and three, so I'm gonna take it. [01:04:17] Speaker A: The ACC looking shaky, baby. Well, you, you and McClendon looking good in ACC, so we'll hold y'all down. [01:04:26] Speaker D: The Falcons, the Dirty Birds play today. [01:04:29] Speaker B: Hey, I love the transformation of Kirk Cousins, though. [01:04:32] Speaker A: Hey, Kurtavius. Let's go. Kurt Davis. Hey, bro. He really. He really embracing the city of Atlanta, and I feel like we embracing him because Atlanta, my number two team. After the fans, of course, you know. [01:04:49] Speaker D: Okay. [01:04:50] Speaker A: Fins up. No. Yeah, y'all jumped ahead of The Cowboys. Because the. Anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. Kurtavius. He getting them boys together. [01:05:04] Speaker D: He is. Listen, I ain't been to a game yet. I'm. I've been low. I've been trying to see what they gonna do first. [01:05:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I feel like with Cousins, he gonna. Cousin. I've never been a fan of Kirk Cousins, but I do love a good transformation. And so I'm happy that he's assimilated into an Atlantic culture because it takes a special quarterback to win in Atlanta. And, yeah, I heard he bust a whole bunch of people parlays a couple weeks ago, so I'm happy for Cousins. [01:05:33] Speaker A: He showed his ass. I didn't even play him that day. [01:05:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I heard that. [01:05:39] Speaker A: I played Baker Mayfield instead. With Baker Mayfield. Low key. Be showing his ass, too. But Kirk Cousins shows that day. But Kirk Cousins was doing this in Minnesota, like, he was a. He was. Shout out to Kirk Cousins. Kirk Tavius. He was. He adopts black culture, like, in. Yeah, he's just cool with it because, like, you can see back when he was in Minnesota, like, he was on the. On the plane with the big ass chain. And that's true. [01:06:05] Speaker D: I forgot about that. [01:06:07] Speaker A: Everybody was rallying around him like, that's his. That's his thing. Like, he. He cool with us. He down me. He comes to the cookout. [01:06:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, he definitely invited to the cookout. [01:06:17] Speaker A: Come to the cookout. You gotta bring nothing. But he could go. [01:06:21] Speaker B: He can't. No, don't bring nothing. Bring beer. [01:06:26] Speaker A: No. Potato salad with peas and weird. And olives. Whatever they. Whatever they put. [01:06:34] Speaker D: Grapes and. [01:06:36] Speaker B: I mean, the other thing that's been great is the cane. The U is back. Is the U. Is the U back? [01:06:45] Speaker A: Let's go. [01:06:46] Speaker B: You know what's better than 6 to though going 7 and 0. Listen to you might be back. [01:06:55] Speaker A: Let's go. I won't say R because I don't know y'all, respectively. I know. I know twin is a. Is a. Is a bumblebee. Yellow jacket. I'm sorry. [01:07:10] Speaker D: Wow. [01:07:12] Speaker B: He call her a bumblebee. [01:07:14] Speaker A: I couldn't. I couldn't figure the name. I ain't gonna lie that. [01:07:16] Speaker B: Wouldn't that accent. See, Hate be hated. [01:07:22] Speaker A: But they use a quarterback that Cam war. Oh, my God. [01:07:29] Speaker B: Oh, Cam war. What? [01:07:30] Speaker A: That boy Special. Boy. [01:07:31] Speaker B: He's special. [01:07:32] Speaker A: He real special. [01:07:34] Speaker B: And he's tapped in for sure that the. [01:07:37] Speaker A: The pre drive selections or whatever they had. The last one I saw was they had Shadur from Colorado. Of course, De. On going number one. He. He actually is a very, very, very good quarterback. Their team just, just isn't great. And they had Travis Hunter, probably the Heisman favorite right now going number two also plays for Colorado. But that, that boy like super special. That boy different. But as far as quarterbacks, I cam warriors should probably jump ahead of Shador in my opinion. Like, as far as like that that boy is beating quality teams. He got the highest quarterback stats in the country. Like don't throw interceptions. Don't throw, don't turn over the ball like that. Like The U is 7, 0. Like we probably, we were 6 this week. We'll probably be hopefully 3 or 4 come Monday when the, when the polls come out. The use back man. [01:08:44] Speaker C: Very exciting. Very happy. [01:08:46] Speaker B: It's very exciting. One thing I like. Well, I don't really care too much other than like I said, I'm, I'm watching cousin's cousin. But the Dolphins, we, you know, we've thrown away our entire season. So that's. [01:09:04] Speaker A: They say tool coming back. He should be back next week. [01:09:06] Speaker B: I don't need him to come back. I need him to retire. [01:09:11] Speaker A: That's what, that's what we would like for sure. For sure. [01:09:14] Speaker B: But you know one thing I will say. Oh, Aaron Rogers still getting coaches fired. That did happen. [01:09:20] Speaker A: Oh yeah. Yeah. [01:09:21] Speaker B: Crazy. [01:09:22] Speaker A: And he did that and said he didn't but. [01:09:24] Speaker B: And then he said he didn't but it's like, like we know you did it. [01:09:29] Speaker D: Wait, what Aaron Rogers do? [01:09:31] Speaker B: He got that coach fired the very next day. [01:09:35] Speaker C: Dang. [01:09:36] Speaker D: For what? [01:09:37] Speaker A: For being a coach. [01:09:39] Speaker B: Wow. [01:09:40] Speaker A: For him playing bad. [01:09:42] Speaker D: Wow. [01:09:42] Speaker A: The, the head coach, the head coach was a defensive minded coach. Aaron Rodgers was playing bad. Got that man fired when he didn't really have nothing to do with it. He ate the play caller. He ain't. He don't do none of that. [01:09:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I, I felt like that was a premature move by them. But you know, I would say that what I'm really looking forward in football this year is the college playoff system. I believe this season has truly shown us why it was necessary because ain't no more dogs in college football, you know. And the fallout of what we're seeing with the nil, I just think is, you know, that stabilizer for college football that I truly believe we're going to get a treat at the end of college football this year. And so I'm super excited for that to be honest because like yesterday's game, as we're, as this is being released, we're probably, hopefully the U is still what's better than 7 and 080? Hopefully we've locked in our next game. But you know, watching them play and be resilient through these games, I mean it's been truly remarkable with these teams. And I mean there are some sleepers. I called Vandy being a sleeper a long time ago just for them to go and beat the number one team in the country. It just goes back to like that concept that we've been saying for years is that like that four, you know, conference play just was really crap. And you know, there are. They've consolidated the conferences, but still there are a lot of really good teams, football programs out there. And the NIL allows that to happen. Right? Because you can get any player, you. [01:11:40] Speaker A: Can spread out the talent, you can. [01:11:42] Speaker B: Spread out the talent and there's not going to be a power five, power four, whatever they like to call it anymore. And I think we're really going to see that done away with because nothing, nothing, nothing makes me more happier. [01:11:55] Speaker D: That's exciting. [01:11:56] Speaker A: Then who you gonna say? Georgia already know? [01:11:59] Speaker B: No. Oh, Florida State being trash. [01:12:02] Speaker A: Oh my gosh, they so bad. [01:12:04] Speaker B: They so bad. They so bad because last year. [01:12:12] Speaker A: They booty, they. [01:12:14] Speaker B: They just cried and cried and cried that they did not get had. People sending letters up to people house talk about they didn't get in. And it's like this is exactly why you didn't get in. It's like to be competitive, to be resilient, to be excellent is continuous recruitment, recruiting. You got to get the players to buy in. And with the nils if you have players that are making over $500,000 there, some of these players are making more than the coaches. It's like you have to get them to get motivated some kind of way. And so I really love it. I think that's what my highlight of sports is going to be for the rest of the year is college football playoff system. And yeah, I, I could care less about the NFL. I think it's going to level it out like it normally does. Like I said, I got an eye on the dirty birds. I think what Cousins is doing is exciting. But more than that I just, I'm. My eyes are fully locked in on college football. [01:13:15] Speaker A: I love Florida State being trash. It's been a long. [01:13:22] Speaker B: Time coming and. [01:13:25] Speaker A: I know oh, the group chats is on fire because they so bad. They so bad the Florida because you know it be a lot. [01:13:35] Speaker B: It's so many Florida State fans. [01:13:36] Speaker A: A lot of flor Florida State fans in Miami. [01:13:39] Speaker B: I'm like bro, you from so many. [01:13:43] Speaker A: So many fans and UF and they both sorry. So I be like, oh, yeah, I might have to jump down for that game next week. No, Cap. Just to see the look. You know what I'm saying? Just for the look. [01:14:01] Speaker B: Who they play next week. Oh, it's in Tallahassee. [01:14:07] Speaker A: No. [01:14:10] Speaker B: Oh. Oh, it is. [01:14:12] Speaker A: Yes. [01:14:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [01:14:15] Speaker A: I might not even go in the game. I'm. I might just. [01:14:18] Speaker D: We know. [01:14:18] Speaker B: We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. [01:14:21] Speaker A: The. I forgot you was there. [01:14:24] Speaker B: I would. [01:14:25] Speaker D: I would come hang with y'all, but I'll be at home coming. [01:14:30] Speaker B: We know that. We know. You will tailgate. You better go find our other cousin. Yeah, you need to get your other cousin. She gonna want to be out there, too. [01:14:39] Speaker A: Chill, bro. Come on. [01:14:43] Speaker B: But with that, we're gonna take a quick break, and we gonna get right into the family topic of day. [01:14:48] Speaker A: Let's go. Be right back, y'all. [01:14:51] Speaker B: Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. So we'd like to highlight a family topic of the day, really. You know, I think the one thing about our family, which is cool is even though we're really close, there's a lot of vulnerability with each other, which I think is important. But also. So I think that we, especially this newer generation, we're more committed to. [01:15:25] Speaker D: You. [01:15:25] Speaker B: Know, the unveiling of the things. And an example would be is I was at this family dinner the other day a couple weeks ago, and they were talking about our family reunion that we got coming up, and they're. You know how, like, back in the day, they used to want to one up each other. So, like, it was like, this one was better. And so they was talking about, you know, the one that's coming up that they were like, oh, it's not gonna be better than the one we had in Miami. And I'm like, there. So they were like, well, when y'all. When it comes back, I was like, when it comes back to us, we're not doing all that work that y'all was doing. We've already decided we're not gonna be doing all that. We're gonna, like, do it differently. And I think, you know, it's one of those things, like, when the new generation comes up and you want to do things differently. I think one of those things that are important is, like, what we need to do different black families, is share medical health history. That is not just medical. That's mental health. Like, it is so important that you share these things. And I think, you know, a part of that before was like, the lack of medical. Actual care, access to medical care. Right. Where you didn't have the equivalency of your. Our white counterparts when it came to healthcare. So to some degree, that was warranted. But, like, you know, at this day and age, if somebody is dying from dementia, Alzheimer's or cancer or a, you know, a terminal illness, it's like, it should be shared in the family, right? But it's like this level of, like, okay, one, you want to protect the autonomy of the family member. Right. Who may be going through that struggle. But then, two, it's always, like, been. And most listeners can agree this secretive nature to, like, oh, we don't want to talk about what it is. [01:17:28] Speaker D: And you know what, P. Because I have a. I have a unique respective perspective, too, because y'all know I'm adopted. And so I'm glad you. You said you ain't adult. [01:17:40] Speaker A: You my cousin. [01:17:41] Speaker D: I mean, you know, y'all know I used to really, when I was younger, I'm like, y'all, they lied. No mother adopted. But as someone who has had to figure out my own medical history, like, mental illness and. But I'm also just very abreast of, you know, my body and my health and all this, I'm. I'm gonna say something weird, but bear with me. Okay, but what he just said, it's about. I think it's about educating ourselves, too, because I think a lot of the secrecy be because we don't really know what's going on for real, and we don't know, like, we be in such survival mode that I don't think we ever think about being in the preventative phase. And I'm saying that because, you know, our auntie, who house we used to always go to, she had Alzheimer's. And I remember when she was deteriorating, I remember being a child and, like, I'm the type of person, if I don't know what's going on, I get real angry and frustrated. The elephant in the room. It ain't never gonna be an elephant in the room around me. I need to know what's going on. And I remember she just, like, stopped talking. And I was like, what the is going on with? Why won't nobody tell me? And I didn't know until I had to deal with my mom having Alzheimer's. I didn't know until, what was that, like, 20 years later that she had Alzheimer's. And I was talking to one of her daughters, and I realized even though they took care of her, they still don't know What Alzheimer's is. They don't know none of that. Like, they were just taking care of her. You know, they just getting old and sick, but they didn't. They never took the time to educate themselves, you know, and. And figure out how to be a better caregiver, give her a better quality of life. And I remember I felt so isolated. I'm like, well, ain't nobody helping me. That's because them don't know either. We don't be educating ourselves and sharing information and. And, you know, really taking the load off of other people, like, medically just be. We just keep it to ourselves and. Oh, well. And we really could have help. Like, p. I don't know how much you want to divulge, but, you know, I know you having a little health issue, and, you know, we kind of got in your ass because you ain't tell us for a while, and it's like, but we're used. We're conditioned to do that as black people. Well, I'm gonna just keep it to myself. I don't want to burden nobody. But we need help and educate ourselves. [01:20:29] Speaker A: Our community death definitely has a stigma of. It's not even not telling people. Like, a lot of us just don't go to the doctor. [01:20:38] Speaker D: We just don't go. [01:20:39] Speaker A: Sometimes we don't trust them or sometimes. Or a lot of times just. I think it's like in our genes at this point that we're. We're just afraid of what we might hear. [01:20:49] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:20:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:20:54] Speaker D: And. And we have a distrust for good reason. You know, I'm not saying that we shouldn't. [01:20:59] Speaker A: Right. [01:21:00] Speaker D: But. Right. We also need to educate ourselves. Like, our. I know our other cousin has a brother who's autistic. And I can tell they have not educated themselves on autism because every time I'm around them, the mama be like, how did you get to talk? I'm like, great. I just went and started talking to him about, you know, and it's like they've been struggling to get him, you know, to progress and do all this stuff. And. And it's like I just came down and just, you know, he. He was. She said he talked the most than he ever do to anybody ever. And I'm like, that's because I'm familiar with autism, and I know how to interact with people like that. That's your son. Oh, you don't. You know what I'm saying? I'm not faulting. You know, I'm just saying we've been conditioned to not talk about stuff and, and we haven't been educated and we have a distrust of doctors and things that I feel like now our generation can. Can educate ourselves more and help each other out. You know, we're learning things about our bodies that our parents maybe didn't even know. You know. Go ahead, P. I just kind of hijacked the topic. Yeah. [01:22:13] Speaker A: That plane flying. [01:22:16] Speaker B: Nah, I just. No, I think I like, you know, I wanted to bring it to the table because I think that I would say not being closely related to adoption, but not having a disconnect between my biological mother, I don't get to have that sharing of that direct medical history. But I think too, when we think of the stigma, I think the stigma goes back to just even disclosure, right? Because we don't even know what's happening to our bodies. Like, you go and they tell you something, right? So like to your credit, like, you go and they say you have Alzheimer, or they go and they give you some type of diagnostic, you know, a diagnose. They diagnose you with something. It's like then you gotta, you know, in reality, back then, specialists weren't really a thing, right. So that's just what they got and they was left with that. Right. Like no one gave them a pamphlet, no one gave them an educational what was happening to them. So to some degree you can't disclose what you don't even understand to be happening to you. Right. Or those around you. So, yeah, so I, you know, I would say through my mental health is the best way to describe that. It's like you can't you depression and anxiety and dysthymia has so many different ways of how it appears, the symptoms, how it occurs that like if you have someone diagnose you with that, you don't you as the person, as the patient getting that kind of diagnosis. It's like you then are the one having to figure out for yourself what does it really even mean. Then you have to then decide on how you even tell people about that. Because it's like with climate change, they don't even believe it's real. Like, some people actually don't believe mental health is real. [01:24:21] Speaker D: And let's not get started on dysthymia, because if we being honest, most black people suffer from that. You are black in a white world. [01:24:34] Speaker A: Just for, just for the listeners and for me mostly, what is dysthymia? [01:24:40] Speaker D: Dysthomia is persistent depressive disorder. So it's really, it's not like it doesn't go away. It just don't go like, you're always. You're just in a low mood, you know what I'm saying? For. For a significant amount of time, you don't necessarily have anything to attribute it to. You know, you just feeling down. [01:25:04] Speaker A: Yeah. You just can't help it. [01:25:05] Speaker D: You just can't help it. Yeah. And not to get too deep into it, but, you know, a lot of us smoke weed. Raising my hand. A lot of us drink, and it's really. And. And some of it is, you know, we be outside having fun, but some of it is I'm depressed and this sucks. And I'm just trying to hide, you know what I mean? I'm just trying to find some source of happiness. And I realized that with my therapist. She told me she feel like most black people suffer from that. And I have to agree, because the world sucks and we are in America, like, we have been through. And I feel like black people are so resilient that, you know, we do be laughing our way through stuff and just move on. But the shit be discouraging. Like, we build something up. White people burn it down. We trying to climb the corporate ladder and they be like, no, you know, like this. It's sad. And even though we're getting by, I think we could do better if we just knew some of the stuff we was going through. But we don't trust doctors either. [01:26:17] Speaker B: Which is valid, right? [01:26:18] Speaker D: Which is valid. [01:26:20] Speaker B: Right. And so, you know, I think that. So I, you know, I would just say that, you know, to everyone listening, just, I think that, like I said, we are the ones. We are the ones that are committed to that kind of moving the needle forward, that transparency that, you know, sharing of information and kind of what you're going through, because it's really. It is really important. And as we get older, you know, it's just one of those things. I think we've been the most transparent, know most recently about mental health, but just, you know, all types of health, right? Like obesity and high blood pressure and, you know, our diets. I mean, all these things that, like, you know, we have our aunt who lives out in the west coast and like, she been thriving. She like 89 years old, you know, and like, she eats clean, she cooks everything from scratch. Like, you know, she don't drink. You know, she'll take a shot, but she, you know, she don't drink every day. You know, she does everything in moderation. She exercises regularly. And it's just one of those things where I think that, like, kind of what Twin was just saying is when we're in survival mode all the time. We don't have an opportunity to just breathe a little bit. That really takes away from your ability to even talk about your health. And so just wanted to give that a little bit of importance. Importance to each of y'all. For y'all to have health insurance. Go get your physical. It's almost the end of the year. Your insurance benefits are going to reset at the top of the year. So please, go get a physical. Go get your blood work done. Go get checked out, because get your pap smear women. You know, just take care of yourself and get your girls exams. It is breast care awareness month, Breast cancer awareness month. So, yeah, just make sure you take care of yourself, because at the end of the day, you know, one, one, you're a good bill of health, is what you always want. But if you don't get that, you just need to make the necessary steps to do something about it, because it ain't gonna go away, right? You know, and so I think that's like, a great way to just kind of really segue into terrible relationships. Because one thing that wasn't gonna go away is how we really. We really felt. We really knew. We all knew, Haley, that that relationship wasn't gonna work. Girl. We knew. We knew. [01:29:07] Speaker D: Will deliver thy listen from any situation that is not serving you. Okay. What? You finish that research? Go ahead. To show, you know, these are. [01:29:22] Speaker C: This is, you know, one of my favorite favorite topics. Black love and all that jazz. I think for a long time, like, on the outside looking in, it's very easy to say that DDG and Ali were incompatible. But knowing what I know now, I can only blame both of them equally because it's a lack of maturity. It's a lack of knowing who you are as an individual. And, you know, like, twin always tells me, people just don't know they worth research team. [01:30:08] Speaker A: You gotta. You gotta give us and. And the people some backstory on what's. [01:30:16] Speaker C: If y'all don't know. Clearly, DDG came out with a statement that he done broke up with the beret, AKA Halle, and they do share a child together. [01:30:27] Speaker D: Halo. Halo. [01:30:31] Speaker C: And from the jump, everybody was like, he is not compatible. He is not on the same level. He is just. He's not her person. And she was just like, no, I'm gonna stick beside him. He's mine. I'm arrived for mine. And it didn't work out. He said some crazy things in the past. He's had some very immature moments where, you know, she's an actor or an actress, and he don't want her like kissing people and like, you know, those romantic scenes are. Are heavy for him. I think the tip of the iceberg went to the Usher concert and Usher gave her. [01:31:15] Speaker B: Her. [01:31:15] Speaker C: The cherry or whatever he do at the end of his concert, and he was like, nah, bro, I'm a. I'm gonna go ahead and take the cherry that you trying to get my girl, and I'm gonna put it in her mouth, not you. [01:31:28] Speaker A: As a man, I don't have a problem with that. That's cool. But the her, if she's an actress and she has to have these certain scenes with people and he's not allowing that, like, that's. That's given very controlling and which is weird vibes. I don't like that. [01:31:47] Speaker C: This is money, sir. Like, we. [01:31:49] Speaker D: This how. [01:31:50] Speaker C: This is how we eat. [01:31:51] Speaker A: Right? [01:31:56] Speaker D: I don't. I don't think we put as much weight into not dating insecure people as we should. And that's funny that you put. Put this first because I've just been on my mind lately. I feel like we have to do a better job, men and women. Insecurity is the devil. And it will. It will destroy almost any situation for real relationship, romantic friendship, even family. And I think we need to see. We. We usually have a Red Flags segment. We need to bring that back because insecurity in a person is the brightest red flag. And I'm talking about overt insecurity because we all have our insecurities. You know, ain't nobody perfect but somebody who is just completely insecure. There's nothing you can do to make them not feel that way. So it don't matter what you got going on. And I saw people talking about in the comments, oh, y'all talking about Halle made ddg. He was already something before then. Why he is insecure? You should be good. Then. You should be good. If you was a full person and secure and self and. And you, your platform, that's who you are. Her kissing whoever on TV as an actress, her being big and, And. And rising to the top, that shouldn't mean nothing. You shouldn't feel bad about that. [01:33:26] Speaker C: Exactly. Like you should be secure as a man in your career with the amount of commas you have and just your overall self awareness and worth that, that shouldn't phase you. [01:33:40] Speaker A: And also, I mean, I don't know too much about this situation, but I've only heard stuff from him. Like, she's been quiet. [01:33:50] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:33:51] Speaker A: You know, her and her sister they came on up under the. The Beyonce tree. So, like, I ain't even gonna talk about this. [01:33:59] Speaker D: I don't even care about this. Keeping this private. [01:34:02] Speaker A: I'm sure they care, but they just know, like, what social media you can do, so they just, like, probably just. I ain't even gonna say nothing because they just gonna run with it, and I'm gonna just let this kill himself on his own. And by kill himself, I mean proverbial. [01:34:17] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:34:19] Speaker C: Implode. [01:34:20] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah, it's. You're right, because we wouldn't. In fact, we wouldn't know about any of this, Right. Without him, we wouldn't have known about the kisses. We wouldn't even know y'all had issues if it wasn't for him, right? [01:34:37] Speaker B: What? I ain't even correct. [01:34:40] Speaker A: And then he wanted Joe Budding, bruh. All Joe Buddy told him was, I don't know who you are. I know your lady. I don't know you. I don't know what you do. I don't know your following. I have no clue about none of that. Like, that's all. That's all bro was saying. And he. He tried to attack Joe, but, you know, Joe is the biggest podcast in the world. Like, he can't really g. Ain't got it like that, huh? [01:35:07] Speaker D: It's like young. These younger people, they. It's almost like they have an inflated sense of yourself. Like, you talking about you old. Like, now I have my issues with Joe Budden, but come on now. [01:35:19] Speaker A: Right? [01:35:21] Speaker D: Stop it. [01:35:22] Speaker A: Right? I mean, honestly, Joe Button, he gave us. He gave a lot of people the tools to be able to go out and do what we doing right now just to. How to do it and how to structure like it's. But ddg, like, he just talked in talking crazy. [01:35:40] Speaker D: And I'm sure people. Way more people know Joe Button than ddg. [01:35:44] Speaker A: Yes. [01:35:45] Speaker D: You talking about you, old sir. Who are you? [01:35:48] Speaker A: Right? [01:35:50] Speaker D: But did y'all see Erica? Men are climbing up that damn ladder. [01:35:56] Speaker A: Wait, what? [01:35:57] Speaker D: To break into Safari House. [01:35:59] Speaker A: Wait, what? [01:36:01] Speaker B: What? [01:36:01] Speaker C: So I guess I'm on the tail end of that foolery and debacleness, but can you. Can you share with me and maybe other listeners who may not know now what happened with Erica? [01:36:13] Speaker B: What? [01:36:13] Speaker D: I don't even know what started it for real, but allegedly. Well, not even allegedly, because there's video proof she broke into the house. The. The children were there at Safari House. [01:36:26] Speaker C: They had. [01:36:27] Speaker D: He. [01:36:27] Speaker C: It was his weekend or something. [01:36:29] Speaker D: I. I think so, because they was already there. And she. Apparently she did it to Send his nudes to his mother and sister. Now maybe y'all can help me understand what that was supposed to accomplish. [01:36:47] Speaker A: I just wanna. I just want to say something very, very fast. Sorry. [01:36:52] Speaker C: No, no, go ahead. [01:36:58] Speaker A: It has broken some people for sure, but the Love and hip hop tree is a nasty tree, bro. [01:37:06] Speaker D: Yes. You know what, Doug? [01:37:08] Speaker A: I'm sorry. I mean, Mona Scott Young. Yeah, bro, that tree is nasty. [01:37:16] Speaker D: It is. [01:37:17] Speaker A: We did get cardi b out of that tree. We did. So it has broken some people, but, bruh, it's like. It's. It's. It's black sp. Black exploitation. [01:37:31] Speaker D: It is. [01:37:32] Speaker A: It really is. Okay, I'm sorry. Go. Go back to the jump in the fence. [01:37:37] Speaker D: It really is. [01:37:38] Speaker A: I had to get that off my chest. [01:37:40] Speaker D: It's really bad. And that's why I had stopped watching it for years. I'm like, this is not. [01:37:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:37:47] Speaker D: You've been on Love and hip hop for, like, 30 years, bro. [01:37:51] Speaker A: Literally. [01:37:53] Speaker C: She started in New York, right? [01:37:55] Speaker D: Yes. [01:37:56] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. She was. [01:37:58] Speaker D: Why are you. In fact, I think she might be worse than she used to be. It's not getting. [01:38:04] Speaker A: Because you know you're gonna get that same. You know, you. That attraction is gonna get bigger because you just. You. You just staple in Love and hip hop. So she probably. Then. This may not be her even on the show. It's on social media. So it is her. [01:38:27] Speaker D: It's her. [01:38:28] Speaker B: You. [01:38:28] Speaker D: You brought a ladder to somebody house to jump the fence, and your children are inside, like, in the pocket. And then the po. Kids. When she. When she finally smashed up the house and ran out, the kids was trying to run after her, and she just left them and sped off. [01:38:47] Speaker A: I didn't even see none of this. That's crazy. [01:38:50] Speaker D: I put. I think I put it in the chat. I was just so appalled, like. And I. I try to stay out of the mess, but that I just. I guess I was just so appalled that Erica Mena is still the same that she was in 2008. That is no growth to me. And you got kids, like, but you ain't. [01:39:11] Speaker A: You ain't grow up in 16 years, like, at all. At grow up. Like, failure to launch. Just. [01:39:22] Speaker D: That's Safari, the mature one in the situation. [01:39:27] Speaker A: Wow. [01:39:29] Speaker C: That's crazy. [01:39:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:39:30] Speaker A: When you put it like that, Safari's the mature. [01:39:33] Speaker D: I actually started feeling bad for Safari, y'all, of all people. [01:39:39] Speaker A: Yeah, that's Safari, the man that show up to his ex concert in all denim and get escorted out. [01:39:47] Speaker C: I think that was intentional for a storyline. [01:39:52] Speaker A: But, yeah, yeah, you're Right. [01:39:54] Speaker C: I think that was for a storyline. [01:39:56] Speaker D: Anyway. I was just appalled by that and I just. I had to tell somebody because. Huh. [01:40:04] Speaker B: I think what I was gonna say. I think what I was most appalled about in. In three LW Land was Offset's audacity. [01:40:20] Speaker D: To get mad. [01:40:24] Speaker B: That he. That cardi slid on him pregnant when they had. She had already filed for divorce, sir. The minute she dropped them legal papers that. That. That cat was free. Okay, now I got. [01:40:41] Speaker D: And I gotta bring up something that. That is common amongst ignorant. What the. Why do it matter if a pregnant lady getting. Busting her. Her vagina wide open? Why does that matter? He talking about. Oh, tell the truth. You with a baby inside. [01:41:00] Speaker B: Oh yeah. [01:41:01] Speaker C: What's the problem, sir? [01:41:03] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure you don't. [01:41:06] Speaker A: Come on, y'all speaking as women. That's. That's very hurtful. [01:41:12] Speaker D: Okay, give us the tea. Dub. [01:41:13] Speaker A: That's my kid in there. [01:41:16] Speaker D: But you other. [01:41:20] Speaker A: Yeah, but my kid is in there. That's different. [01:41:26] Speaker C: So it'll be okay if the kid. [01:41:29] Speaker A: No, well, he said it, but it. It's more hurtful because my kid is in there. [01:41:39] Speaker B: He said his kid. Clarify. He said if he would sleep with a pregnant woman. He Dr. He don't want nobody sleeping with his pregnant woman. [01:41:51] Speaker A: Right, right. [01:41:54] Speaker D: Sometimes logic to me. [01:41:57] Speaker A: No, no, that's not even a lot though. Like, he. He is a special case in his own. Like I. I get what you're saying. It's. It's super hypocritical. [01:42:07] Speaker B: It's not hurtful. It's not hurtful. Bad. I don't think it is hurtful. I'm telling you. [01:42:14] Speaker A: No, it ain't happened to me, but it's hurtful. I can feel that. [01:42:20] Speaker B: No, that's like. [01:42:22] Speaker A: That's like. As a man, you gotta. You got an old lady or a girl or whatever and she cheat on you, you really don't be caring. Like if she. You'd be like, did you suck his dick? [01:42:39] Speaker B: Okay. [01:42:40] Speaker D: And that is also crazy to me because treat sucking dick as if any. Any random on the street can do that. So why does it matter? [01:42:52] Speaker A: I guess we hold it to. Well, not me personally. It's not my thing. But I guess men hold it in a higher regard than getting the. Like, did you think? [01:43:05] Speaker D: But then you'll let anybody suck your dick. So how's it. How is it? [01:43:10] Speaker A: You right. You right. It is logic. You right. [01:43:13] Speaker D: Okay. [01:43:16] Speaker A: You are. You are right. That is correct. [01:43:22] Speaker D: Thank you, twin. [01:43:28] Speaker B: Yo, they. They really be coming up with like the foolishness and it's like. Do you hear yourself? [01:43:34] Speaker A: Stupid bro. [01:43:36] Speaker D: Do you hear yourself? [01:43:40] Speaker B: Do you hear yourself? [01:43:43] Speaker A: That was funny. [01:43:45] Speaker B: They know. [01:43:45] Speaker A: I gotta tell y'all some really funny stuff off. Off mic, though. [01:43:50] Speaker B: Okay. [01:43:51] Speaker C: Oh, wow. I'm excited. [01:43:53] Speaker D: Right? [01:43:54] Speaker B: Yeah. So you know that. That get back from Cardi B. I. Like I said, I think she heard us because she was pregnant, I think, a couple episodes ago when I. You know, I just. [01:44:06] Speaker C: Yeah, she had the baby now. [01:44:08] Speaker D: Yeah. Let me just say. [01:44:10] Speaker A: Don't they have three kids together? [01:44:11] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:44:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:44:13] Speaker C: Thank you for her three kids. [01:44:14] Speaker B: For. [01:44:14] Speaker D: You know. [01:44:15] Speaker C: She really appreciates him. [01:44:17] Speaker A: So who. Who won this relationship? Relationship wars. [01:44:21] Speaker D: I was just gonna say, but no one. It's giving toxic. And get. Getting your lick back is never a productive thing in a relationship. [01:44:35] Speaker B: I humbly disagree. [01:44:37] Speaker D: You said one hood. One what? [01:44:39] Speaker A: One is hood and one is ghetto. So they was. [01:44:42] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the. [01:44:43] Speaker A: They, like, I wouldn't. I can't even say it's toxic. Like, that's just. [01:44:47] Speaker D: That's how they do. [01:44:48] Speaker A: Childhood ghetto kind of operate. [01:44:50] Speaker B: I was gonna say function, Even glow. Put it on her new album, like, literally. I humbly disagree. There's nothing like getting a lit back, especially if you get that lit back with the op. Especially. Oh, that's. [01:45:06] Speaker C: That hurt. [01:45:07] Speaker B: Especially when you go with the op. [01:45:09] Speaker D: But see, for me, getting my look back is pretending like you never existed and going on with my life, living my life like it's golden when. [01:45:19] Speaker A: That ain't a lick, though, because you don't know that the other might not. [01:45:25] Speaker D: Even give a well, and neither do I. So who's really winning here? [01:45:31] Speaker A: It ain't elected. [01:45:33] Speaker B: Well, I'm not gonna spread rumors on here because we're not the rumor mill, but according to rumors, it was a famous NFL player and I. That just stings. That just stinks. Oh, I did. [01:45:45] Speaker C: I did, buddy. I forgot his name. [01:45:47] Speaker B: We're not gonna rumor. We're not gonna rumor, Bill, because I. I really like that player. I ain't gonna rumor, Bill, but, you. [01:45:54] Speaker A: Know, runs with Castron Bigs. [01:45:59] Speaker D: I hate you. [01:46:00] Speaker B: It's so. [01:46:01] Speaker D: Okay, but is it still getting your lick back if you leave the person but level up with a better person? [01:46:08] Speaker B: I think it was that particular person. [01:46:10] Speaker A: It's only. It's only a lick if the. The other person. Well, offset. If we talking about offset, then, yeah, in general terms, if the other person doesn't care, then it ain't no lick. But in this case, offset care. And he crawled up in the fetal position. He. He crying. He probably cried every Night. [01:46:28] Speaker D: He did. You're right. [01:46:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Because, like, I mean, out of all the women he cheated with, that's the thing that I feel like, like we never found out who Jay cheated with. Right. It's like these men, when they cheat on these women, it's like it was. [01:46:43] Speaker A: Baking with the good hair. [01:46:44] Speaker B: No, but I'm saying is, like, these women are. It's like. It's like with Tiger woods, like they gotta be discovering the earth because, one, you cheating with a person, you cheating on a person that you know who the woman is. Right. And so it's not like you don't know. And then two, like, there's nobody better than Cardi B. Like, in theory, of the type of person that he's married to. [01:47:09] Speaker A: Like, yeah, she's the Cardi B of Cardi B's. Like, she. [01:47:14] Speaker B: Yeah, like there's. Yeah, yeah, there's no. You know, her and Glow are cousins. Like, actually, like, they found out it was actual cousins. [01:47:22] Speaker A: Yeah, they were kidding. [01:47:24] Speaker B: They weren't kidding. [01:47:25] Speaker A: They were kidding. [01:47:26] Speaker B: They weren't kidding. [01:47:28] Speaker D: All right, look us up. [01:47:31] Speaker C: Okay. [01:47:33] Speaker B: They play cousins. So, yeah. You know, so, like, I feel like you just don't have anybody to level up with. So I think that's what also made him really hurt, was like, he can't get one better than her. [01:47:58] Speaker A: I mean, the thing is. Well, they. They say. They say Keshon Biggs, they say he. He keep them. Like, he. [01:48:05] Speaker C: He's known for. [01:48:06] Speaker A: Yeah, he the Drake of the NFL. [01:48:11] Speaker B: No, I know. That's what I said. I think that's what. [01:48:13] Speaker A: That's what. [01:48:13] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I said. I heard. [01:48:15] Speaker A: And so I know Offset, like, bro, this man got a 200 million dollar contract. You go to. [01:48:25] Speaker B: I think it's cool. I like that. I like that guy because he just go. He go scoop him up, he make him feel loved, give him that good thing, and then he out of there. I like it because he don't marry none of them. [01:48:41] Speaker A: And you can't. And you know what's crazy? You can't even. You can't even move like that if you ain't keeping it a bean with everybody talk to correct. So they already look in my. In my days. Yeah, that's. [01:48:55] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. [01:48:56] Speaker A: That's how I go. That's a good. Just do what it is. That's it. [01:49:03] Speaker B: That's the best lit back to go get. You go get the one that, you know he keeping it a bean. He gonna make you feel good, you know, make you feel beautiful. Gonna give you what you want. And he Alphabet right. [01:49:14] Speaker A: These moments that. These moments that we together. We together. That's it. And that's just how I go. [01:49:22] Speaker D: That's the era of my love life that I'm in right now. [01:49:25] Speaker A: Sister. Sister. What? What era? [01:49:30] Speaker C: I'm so on a personal level with this lady. I'm. [01:49:39] Speaker D: I'm over. I have mixed feelings. So let's discuss. [01:49:42] Speaker C: Okay, so Tia, you know, recently dropped her. I guess we on episode three next act on. [01:49:54] Speaker D: I forget what. [01:49:57] Speaker C: Because I'm not even watching it. [01:50:01] Speaker D: Zeus. [01:50:04] Speaker C: It's a. It's a. It's a reputable. Whatever. [01:50:07] Speaker A: Oh, it's probably like Tia is probably bravo or something. [01:50:11] Speaker C: I don't know. But basically she now has a reality show about her next chapter, life after divorce. And she has gone on here and basically we would not know. We don't, we don't want to know. But she's sharing that now. Maybe she hasn't made the right decision. Now she. [01:50:33] Speaker D: About her divorce. [01:50:34] Speaker C: Correct. She's not sure if this is. She was, you know, did the right thing. She's mourning the loss of her children. Having a two parent household. Did you not think of any of this before you filed? Like, why is this the revelation now? [01:50:52] Speaker D: I didn't hear none of this. [01:50:55] Speaker C: This is from her. Her episodes. Her. [01:50:59] Speaker B: Her. [01:51:00] Speaker D: But is it okay, but is it maybe perhaps just for the show or do you. Do it seem like she really feel that way? [01:51:08] Speaker C: I think she really feels that way and I think that she is like, I think it, it caught her off guard about how like how crappy the dating pool is now. Because really, she never dated. She never spent that time with self. I think they got married like early 20s, like 22, 23. Like they were super, super young. So it's just like. Well. And now that she's out here. [01:51:38] Speaker D: Yeah, I regret leaving my husband. [01:51:43] Speaker A: Like 2010 or something like that. It was already old. [01:51:49] Speaker C: Damn. [01:51:50] Speaker D: They were. [01:51:51] Speaker C: No, they were still young. [01:51:52] Speaker A: No, they were, they were in their 30s. [01:51:55] Speaker C: Maybe they started dating when they was in their 20s. [01:52:00] Speaker A: Maybe. I know. I think the last thing I saw, they got married like 2010 or 9 or something. [01:52:09] Speaker C: Let me look it up. But I'm just. I say all that to say, why are these the thoughts now? Why are you doing a show telling us your business now? Because I know you don't need the money. [01:52:20] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? [01:52:21] Speaker A: Know what people? [01:52:24] Speaker D: Well, we don't know that they got married 2008. Yeah, yeah. [01:52:27] Speaker A: I knew somewhere around there, I said 2010. My bad. Two years. My bad. [01:52:34] Speaker D: That's okay. [01:52:34] Speaker B: So they. [01:52:35] Speaker D: So she was 30. [01:52:38] Speaker B: But she. [01:52:39] Speaker C: She made it like. She also revealed that what's his name was her first. So she hasn't had any other Houston at 30. Who. That's what I'm saying. Like she hasn't experienced another man. That's what she has said. [01:52:54] Speaker A: Oh, buddy. Yeah, okay. I'm sorry. [01:53:00] Speaker C: So to me, it's like a rude awakening now because I guess what she thought the dating pool was and how dating looked has changed. And I could have told her that. [01:53:10] Speaker A: Go home, Roger. [01:53:12] Speaker D: Yeah, but. [01:53:16] Speaker C: I just think she had the. Maybe it's like a realization that it's just like, oh snap. [01:53:22] Speaker D: It's really real. No, I think. I think the real issue is I was thinking about this earlier. [01:53:29] Speaker B: Go ahead. [01:53:31] Speaker D: People don't know how to be whole people. I think a lot of people don't know how to be a whole person without someone else. And hearing her say that makes me feel like she was probably more codependent on the relationship than she realized. It's not that she's been in therapy because after a divorce, you should be spending time with self girl. The dating pool is trash. But you shouldn't be like, I think she's doing this there you. You need to be learning how to be a full person. Especially given that y'all. That was your first and y'all got together when y'all were younger. Maybe not married, but it. You were inexperienced in life. You haven't figured out how to be tia Maori or whatever. The just on your own. [01:54:24] Speaker A: And so 30, come on you. I think you could hurt too much bail at 30. They got married. [01:54:32] Speaker B: Nah. [01:54:34] Speaker D: But I don't think. But I don't think you know, but as a woman, your first can really with you dub. And if you still with them at 30, like my first. I ain't talk to that after I was 22. You still with this in your 30s and almost 40. The same that you lost your virginity to. You. You completely lost girl. You have to. You have to go on a self journey and find yourself as a woman because your first always gonna have a choke hold on you. And he probably ain't gonna the person. [01:55:09] Speaker A: For you see y'all. Y'all giving too much weight to. To that like. Like give too much weight to head. [01:55:17] Speaker B: No, no, no. [01:55:18] Speaker C: I think for her she's in a very unique position because she truly hasn't been by herself because she. Because she is an identical twin. She starred in a. [01:55:28] Speaker D: In a. [01:55:28] Speaker C: A huge major Series with her sister. Okay. [01:55:35] Speaker A: You'Re right. You're right. [01:55:36] Speaker C: He's never had an actual individual moment, time frame in life. They be like, hey, you know what? Let me create some space between my identical twin. She just went from her twin to. [01:55:48] Speaker D: Her husband she never had. [01:55:50] Speaker C: No. [01:55:53] Speaker B: And then her and Samira aren't close. Right? [01:55:56] Speaker C: Okay. So clarity on that. Apparently. So when she said that in the TV thing episode, she was referring to. Because, you know, I had to do, like, a deep dive and be like, this lady, because she's not my favorite twin. I'm just gonna put it out there. [01:56:19] Speaker A: Which one look like that? [01:56:21] Speaker D: Maga. [01:56:24] Speaker A: Oh, that's. [01:56:27] Speaker D: Listen. [01:56:31] Speaker C: But. But just to say this, to say, like. Okay, to get back on topic, T was basically saying they're not as close as she would like them to be because, you know, their moms, they're adults now. It's like, she didn't give no background when she said that. She made it seem like there was, like, some wedge between them or some, like, sibling beef strife going. [01:56:52] Speaker B: Well, they have. [01:56:53] Speaker D: I was gonna say they have. They are fundamentally different people. And I, as a twin. I'm not an identical twin, but this actually. I feel like people actually were more shocked by this than I was, because I think people just assume that when you're a twin, like, y'all close and y'all gonna be close. It. But twins be completely different people. Like, going in the same womb don't mean. And then you grow. You have different life experiences. I'm gonna talk to my brother. And we used to be super close. So I. When I read this, I was like, I. I feel like people don't understand because they either don't have a twin or they one of them people that feel like, you got to talk to your family regardless. Well, I'm gonna be cool with my siblings no matter what. And we ain't never been them type of people. Like, Pete don't talk to her own brother so that I didn't find that as odd as. And they seem like fundamentally different people. So. [01:57:52] Speaker C: Correct. [01:57:54] Speaker A: Searching on Pete the whole episode. I know. [01:57:56] Speaker D: I really have. I'm telling RP Business. [01:58:02] Speaker C: Wow. [01:58:03] Speaker A: Anyway. [01:58:05] Speaker B: Hey, man, you see how she do me? [01:58:07] Speaker A: I see it, bro. You just take it. You should. [01:58:10] Speaker B: Like. [01:58:12] Speaker A: I get off, Mike. [01:58:19] Speaker C: I'm gonna go ahead and just. I'm gonna go ahead and head out on this one. [01:58:26] Speaker A: Do. Do the. The homer mem. [01:58:30] Speaker C: And just going ahead. [01:58:33] Speaker B: Go ahead, take those shots, but shoot with that.
