Everybody Show about Nothing.

Jadea is back, y'all.

Speaker 1

Barely, but I'm here.

Thank you all.

So for everybody who has sent loving messages and well wishes and condolences and et cetera.

Very grateful for your sentiments, for your lovely sentiments, and you know, just for the thoughts and the prayers and everything.

For those who are not on social media.

I lost my grandmother, my Mimi.

I speak about I think all of my grandparents I have.

I had three living grandparents.

And now I have my maternal grandmother left and my paternal grandfather left.

We lost her suddenly due to a medical malpractice, So that makes things a little bit more complicated.

And you know, it's just death is hard in general, and it's even harder when it's at a time that it's necessarily expected.

So yeah, I'm just grateful for you all, and my family is grateful, and we are trying to press forward and supporting my grandfather who has been they've been together, they've been married sixty four years, I think sixty six or sixty seven together, So we don't even know what that we can't even fathom that.

So you can imagine losing your person who you've been with for that long, what that can do to a person.

And so and then just losing your grandmother.

And you know, I used to talk about my grandmother.

She used to work my nerves and she did.

She and I used to tell her and we would have spats, but ultimately we're very similar and I think she respected my very vocal stants on you know, several things.

So I am going to miss her greatly.

She is a force.

I will miss her in this physical but you know, I'm gonna still keep trying to make her proud and continue making cocktail recipes on her behalf, because that's what she would call me every other week for, was a cocktail recipe.

So yeah, thank you too to all of you.

I appreciate you aim well.

Speaker 2

Without further ado, we have a show, yeah, to catch up on some things that we may have missed, you know, thanks to Doctor.

Speaker 3

Kia and Toya for coming on last week.

Speaker 2

Absolutely shout out to you all for doing Reddit stories.

If you didn't listen last week, go listen back.

It's a great episode.

Speaker 3

By the way.

Speaker 1

If Toya was a part, I know you all had.

Speaker 3

A time, Yes we did.

Speaker 1

You want to have news, yeah, listen grief don't stop news either.

Before I get into the news, news, Malcolm Jamal Warner passed away the same day as my grandmother, and so I heard that news and I couldn't even fully really process process it because we're in the throes of other things personally.

But what a sad loss.

Speaker 3

Like, Yeah, I was very sad.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that's a sad loss.

My dad.

You know, my dad's a big live music head and jazz head, and so he said there was a club and I could be misspeaking a little bit.

But there was a club he would go to, I believe he said, the first Sunday of every month.

Where is when Malcolm would come and perform at that club since he was a not just an actors what we knew him as, but a musician and a poet and so in a father and a husband and so many, so many aspects and seem to have the most beautiful spirit.

You know, you didn't hear negative things about Malcolm Jamal Warner.

Speaker 3

So we go through a fantastic mash up of sorts.

Speaker 4

So if you feel inclined or inspired or motivated or stimulated to dance, then you must.

Speaker 1

And he's been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember.

And so you know, I send so much love to the people who knew him personally are mourning him because you know, we are sad as people who did not know him personally, just for what he was to the community in general, also very outspoken about the community and some of the perils that we face.

M so so much love to him and so much love to his family.

What a tragic, tragic, sad loss.

And then, like I said, you know, despite grief.

The world continues to just pile onto that.

Over one hundred and fifty people in Palestine.

I'm not even going to say just Gaza have died due to the forced starvation that's happening.

Not only is there an extreme famine, as we've been speaking about no aid getting in since March, and then when they started letting aid in it was used as a trap.

But they I have a gentleman that I communicate with, and don't worry, I'm not your grandma on the internet, like I can assess and sift and see what's what.

And he and I have been communicating for some time, and he messaged me the other day his wife's pregnant and they haven't had flower in two months.

Like it's in saying.

So they are forcefully starving these human beings.

And then when they're not forcefully starving them and allowing them to enter the AID tents and trucks and things, they are targeting them.

So they shot and killed ten AID seekers just yesterday in an AID trap, that's what it's called in North Gaza over the last week quote unquote settlers, you already know how we feel about those people or lack for lack of a better word, have been attacking Palestinian people.

They shut down their water supply to over nineteen Ramallah villages, which is essentially over seventy thousand people.

There's still drone strikes happening, still bombings to homes, still quote unquote settler attacks where they're shooting Palestinians, which is being backed and supported by the IOF.

They even be beat some shepherds the other day, like what the fuck?

And then Christian Smalls, who is a human rights activist here from here, a black man from the United States, he was targeted by the io if he was on the on a flotilla.

You can follow the Gods of Freedom flotilla for updates on the different excursions to go and try to bring aid into Palestine.

But of course, as one of the only black activists who have gone, he was the most brutally attacked physically being kicked and beaten and so forth and so on.

So make sure you pay attention to that as well.

You know, it don't it doesn't stop, It doesn't stop.

In Sudan, thirteen children have died of malnutrition just in the past couple of days in East Darfour and that is also amidst the armed the Armed Group attacks, the RSF and SAFF still fighting.

And there are two areas, two trusted organizations you can donate to to the other forced starvation and genocide happening in Sudan.

For donations to darfour, you can check out the page d h r INN Official and then for donations for South Cordifon you can check out h R R d S underscore S And so both of those are trusted resources to try to help as much as we can with the genocide and the famine happening in Sudan.

Uh, don't forget to continue to check with Sarah bs on Blast who continues to provide us with day to day updates.

But yeah, that's that's the news.

That's what's happening right now.

Speaker 3

Around the world.

Speaker 2

So remember a couple of months ago where they had that caucus where they kind of like was like, oh, she's not here, so therefore I'm the nominated, so we're voting her out.

Speaker 3

And we're back.

We're catching up here.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I have a I did something that I said I would never do, but I did.

I bought something from the TikTok shop.

Now, normally you know TikTok.

Speaker 1

Those suck in bodysuits brush.

Speaker 2

No, no, no, although I do have one of those, and I got that from Amazon a long time ago.

No, I didn't buy anything like like pink sauce or anything like that.

I actually bought something practical.

I bought an I had a pencil because I lost mine, okay, and I refused to pay nine million dollars that Apple was going to charge me.

Speaker 3

So I got one for ten dollars.

Speaker 2

And she is compatible and and.

Speaker 1

Loverly no one made one.

Speaker 3

What what kind of genius.

Speaker 1

Shit, she is some kind of apparatus, maybe a pencil that she wrapped in foil and put a cotton ball slightly with the cot.

Then it was talking about this conducts this look it works, mama, and she showed me and I was like, yo, what the fuck?

That's crazy?

Speaker 3

Yeah?

Yeah, she made I love it.

Speaker 1

She made herself because she lost her Apple pencil and I was like, well, that's it.

The Apple pencils gone to the Pixies and you're never going to see it again because I'm not.

I'm not replacing multiple Apple pencils.

So yep, she made one.

Speaker 3

That's crazy.

Speaker 1

I said, as long as it works, fuck up your iPad.

Speaker 3

Cool, that's so, that's so genius.

Speaker 2

I remember, like as a kid, as far as like science projects and ship, I thought I was doing something with making a fucking volcano.

Speaker 3

You thought, you know, yeah, she's up here making appliances.

Speaker 1

Yeah this nigga made.

This nigga made an electronic thing.

So but good for you for also finding the cheap pack.

Speaker 2

Yes, yes, However, the reason why I said I would never buy anything from there is because they have you know, I have t PTSD.

Speaker 1

You know that was a train I couldn't get on my spirit.

Speaker 2

Yeah, because I was.

I was.

I was get at my account every hour on the hour to see if there's any fraud alerts or anything like that because I wanted a twelve cent whisk.

Speaker 3

But whatever, you know, we pressed on.

Speaker 2

So now I find myself, you know every time I go on TikTok, now that I bought something.

Every other video it's an ad.

And the reason why I bring this up is because I don't want to.

I don't know who lied to us and say that they weren't listening.

But what I tell you our lists, they're listening.

Speaker 1

They're listening.

Speaker 3

Every time.

Speaker 2

And we tested it the other day, like because Chris Rogers is building like a photo studio and stuff, and so he's been talking about lighting.

Now, yeah, he's been talking about lighting, and every other video of God has been studio lighting in the TikTok shot.

Speaker 1

Let me see here, Oh, me and my child doing this thing all wrong?

Okay, let's see.

Let's see what they're trying to sell me.

Well, first of all, I don't like these white women, these older white women all over my Does this video feel too promotional?

Speaker 3

Oh?

Speaker 1

Okay, nope?

Speaker 2

Also, no, not interested you know what we haven't talked about out here.

And I mentioned the son getting girl in this three, but like, we haven't talked about people falling in love with AI.

Speaker 6

Jason Pease is a forty four year old divorced father who says his AI chatbot is his girlfriend.

Speaker 3

Either nice to meet you.

Speaker 1

She's my mentor, my counsel, my sounding board.

Speaker 6

That's what drew him to Jennifer Hey, how's it going, a brash, sarcastic New Yorker who he created.

Speaker 2

Using like there are people so like, there are people who are in full, full blow in the relationships with with AI.

People like there's this one story this man proposed to his AI partner or whatever, but the gag is Jay he's already married in real.

Speaker 1

Life, you know, cheating on me.

Speaker 3

Oh wait, that's crazy.

There's this.

Speaker 2

I've been watching a couple of stories on this because it's a new phenom, right, people are literally like finding love through AIA.

Speaker 3

It is nuts because it's like, oh not.

Speaker 1

On the Today Show, how's my queen doing today?

Speaker 3

Mm hmm, oh no, he loves nuts.

Speaker 1

He looks like he's in a relationship with.

Speaker 3

Now most most of the people on the look like the types that they would be.

Speaker 1

What I'm saying, it's like when you see people in fine relationships and you're like, yeah, I'm not supposed to say the quiet.

Speaker 3

But yeah yeah.

And so however, there's this one little boy, he was a teenager.

He died.

Speaker 2

He ended his life because his AI girlfriend told him to and so and then there's like these other stories of like I was reading the New York Times about how this guy uh changed his religion based off of the things that the AI system told him, and so, like they reiterated like things from the Bible and things, but they changed things like from like to intergalactic words like spark and shit like that.

Speaker 1

Scientologists.

Speaker 2

Yeah mm hmm.

I can't say, remind me to tell you something.

I'll tell you here.

I was like, when you're gonna tell me because you'll see it when you'll get here.

Don't send me anything in relation to you all.

We you are my enemy, you are my enemies.

Speaker 2

Yeah, but just know that they know it's not just a coincidence of things that are happening.

Speaker 1

We literally just talked about the chilies, and we know somebody in that chilie in the corner of that chilis turned that channel to that very specific Scientology channel, so we see each other Scientology anyway.

Speaker 3

Did you see that video?

Speaker 2

Oh, you're probably going through it, but that video of like that man doing jump rope and for the Scientology building tells us.

Speaker 1

A cult way then jump ropes Church of Scientology.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it's like part thirty seven, Like he doesn't like daily until they fill.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I was like that is so genius.

Speaker 1

That is amazing.

Why did John Stamos get kicked out of the Church of Scientology?

Well, why did he hold on?

How did we miss this story?

It came out last year.

Speaker 3

Okay, realty a national inquirer.

Speaker 1

It's USA today, so you know, take that as you will.

John Samos is getting candid about his Church of Scientology exit.

During an interview on the Friend in High Places podcast with comedian Matt Friend published Sunday, The music told the host about how he was introduced to the controversial faith.

I was in an acting class and there was this hot girl.

She said, you know, we're all meeting at this address on Hollywood Boulevard.

Come after class.

I was working at my dad's restaurant at the time, and I said, Dad, gotta, I gotta go.

So I went and it was the Scientology Building.

I was sixteen seventeen, all right, fast forward.

Oh, I wanted to be John Travolta.

I still do.

Let's see who you know has been a part of the church since the seventies.

Stamos never officially joined the church after sticky situation kept him from pursuing the faith.

He recalled entering the building being summoned to a machine called the E Meter, which was formed from two cans.

After having a fake phone conversation predicting to be Rocky and Bullwinkle characters Peabody Insurance, Stabo said, just kicked me out for messing around so much.

Oh that is funny to me.

Speaker 3

I'm actually glad you did that, kid.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you saved yourself with your foolishness.

Oh that's funny.

So no, we went to the beach yesterday.

We needed we needed a day.

I needed a day.

So we go to the beach.

You know, that's that's the place, that's where you get all the healing and stuff.

That's why I got so sad when you showed me the thousand pounds sisters, and she was so sad to go to the beach because people are assholes.

The beach should be a sacred space.

But anyway, I digress.

It wasn't yesterday either, because we go.

It was initially, you know, the three of us lay out and then Mary joins us later and you know, got got some sun, got the healing vibes of the water.

So you know, when the lifeguards leave at six, everybody has to clear out the water and then they leave and then it's always some kids or somebody who goes to the lifeguard posts and everybody climbs up on the chairs and it's a thing, you know.

So Noah loves to go get on the lifeguard post when they leave.

So her and Mary go over to the lifeguard post, climb up, and they're up there.

So me and Tristan are talking by the blanket and we're just you know, having conversation, and we see this black lady approach them at the at the bench.

So we're like, you know, we ain't worried about it.

It's a black wish, so we just look.

But then I noticed the body language shifting, right, so then we start paying attention what's going on.

So then she climbs up there.

So I was like, all right, well maybe you know, they were just chatting from below and above, and you know, she wants to get on there now.

So we're watching and she climbs up there.

But then she climbs in between Noah and Mary, and I could see Noah's body language and I could see Mary's.

And that's when I was like, all right, I'll be back.

So I go over and I was like, are y'all good?

Like are y'all good up there?

And they were like, yeah, yeah, we're okay.

And I could see still that they were a little, you know, squirrely.

So I was like, no, why don't you, Why don't you just go ahead and come down.

Why don't you come over here with me?

And she was like, yeah, I think I'm gonna do that.

So when she said, I was like, oh, yeah, no, there's some foolishness here.

Noah climbs down and Mary climbs down, So I was like, why the fuck did she sit in between you all?

And they both were like, oh my god.

She was drunk and it's her birthday and she was feeling loose.

So Noah goes she offered me a cigarette, she said, So when you told me to come down, that's why it was.

I was fired to come right down.

I was like, I said, Noah, what did you say.

Was she offered you a cigarette?

She said, I said, I'm under age.

Speaker 7

Police say.

Instead of supervising the juveniles under his care, Jeffrey Reno provided them with cigarettes and marijuana.

Reno is charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

At the time, Reno was working at the Saluda.

Speaker 1

She said, no, thank you, I'm underage and Mary was like, excuse me, my niece is twelve, and the lady was laughing.

Oh my god, Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

So later on in the car, I was asking for ice cream and can we go for ice cream because it's after the beach And I was like, the ice cream spot is closed on the beach, but do you want a cigarette?

Speaker 4

Oh?

Speaker 1

That made me laugh.

That made me laugh.

But I knew that bitch was bunds.

I could tell.

I could tell she was crazy.

Excuse me, she was not doing well that day, but.

Speaker 3

Yeah, that's that's nuts.

Speaker 1

No one got offered her first cigarette.

It was It didn't have any like scary nineties R and B music behind it.

Speaker 3

It wasn't it was.

It wasn't her either of her grandparents.

You know.

Speaker 2

All all the illegal things I got were you know, family members put me on first, like absolutely alcohol.

Speaker 3

Speaker 1

And my cousins.

Speaker 3

When I first had a cigarette, that was Reggie.

Speaker 1

That tracks.

Speaker 2

Yeah, we was different.

No, oh no, no, that was my cousin.

Speaker 3

Because it's.

Speaker 1

No family is always the culprit, except for in this case.

It was that lady at the beach.

Speaker 2

The only time, the only time I can say things weren't family.

Speaker 3

Was the first time I had tequila.

Speaker 1

I was going to say something really inappropriate.

I told them to rap for you all, and while you're here it in the episode, I'll give you a snippet of you know this hot shit.

Let's see here.

Oh yeah, here we go.

It's two of them.

So I won't say their names, but they they essentially are like a spliff star Buster rhymes at this point, except both of them have songs and they know each other's song, so they they will hype each other up while they're rapping their songs.

Now, the content of the songs is always about a young lady who has hurt their feelings profusely by not continuing their relationship.

Once you know, they become incarcerated.

That's usually the content of the song.

So but here's a snippet for you, man.

Then we got my nigga mud right, all right, we gotta close our song, and that ship by myself, I love, my brothers were all locked down for us.

We gave our belt.

Tom says that people did too.

My head locked on the shoe.

They don't know nothing about being in that cell.

Speaker 3

I ain't got no feelings left.

Speaker 1

You always told me hold your home, like think before you step these niggas hayt me, y'll be home soon.

They think I won't be back with all.

Speaker 3

That you alone.

Speaker 1

But I just couldn't onto a touch.

Speaker 3

Shoe back.

Speaker 1

Just tell me that you're doing you so leave at that, Okay, all right, so I'll just oh no, didn't mean to do that, but yeah, that was that.

That's that's my two of my little babies.

They asked me if they could be my kids, and I said, yes, they can be my kids.

So I have a lot of kids.

I have a lot of kids, guys.

But it was it's literally some of the most fulfilling work that I think I've ever done in my life.

And they told me when I got there, they was like, we didn't think you was.

You was lying where you said you was gonna come back.

And I was like, I told y'all, like, I'm gonna come back every time, and I pray that I don't see you when I come back, but in the event that I do, I am happy to see you, just not in this setting.

Speaker 3

I was.

Speaker 1

But that's those are my little babies.

I I hate a lot of what I encounter there.

For instance, half of the girls.

Half of the girls don't even have offenses.

They just are waiting for placement within the system or waiting the age out so they put them in, which is fucking crazy.

The and then a lot of those boys have they got some some some things on them, but they still have a lightness about them.

And when you're working with them, you don't see anything but kids, but teenagers.

There was only one kid that tried me.

It was one child, and you know he was one of the only there's there's about four of them and this it was a nilla child in a c oh So we're in our in our impanato class and you know, shout out to uh.

Deray was doing all the dishes and like all of the behind the scenes work.

And then I had two two guests on each day.

Damon was on the second day when this particular thing happened.

Who happens to be a comp at What's what's the company that provides all the soaps and every Procter and Gamble, So Sniggers is a compat Procter and Gamble.

But he's in their assisting me with the imporanados or whatever.

And so, uh, you know, I had two fry stations.

And how we did it is I you know, I had the kids shred up rotiestory chicken just to show them, you know, how they can be innovative with simple things whenever they're on their own.

So we shudded up some rotistrie chickens.

I had impanada shells and then different fillings, some onions.

You know, taught them about Queso Fresco, and then we had some other mixed cheeses, you know, things like that, and then it's jail.

So there's certain stuff that I just was working with that was in the freezer.

I was like, we don't take these mixed vegetables.

And if any niggas want to be anything, you wanted your infanada.

So the six of them who wanted mixed vegetables, I'd give it to them.

One of them was fucking with one of the people because he was like, I want six pease.

He's like, give me seven carrits.

And I was like, yo, you're y'all are dickheads, is what you are.

But this this, this young man is not well.

And this young man this so I'm passing out all this stuff.

Damon's passing out all this stuff.

He snatches the whole pack of impanadas from Damon.

Now they already told me this young man was not well, so I prepared myself.

So I walked back over there.

I know anything can happen anytime, but I snatched that pack of so I was like, you don't get to have all of them.

And I also have to check my own bias.

Speaker 3

Even in a jail.

Speaker 1

I'm like, what the fuck you doing here?

It's so bad.

It's like how I feel about white houseless people.

I'm not giving you nobody to get.

You won't get a job before I would problematic.

Yes, I know, please don't write me no notes.

So it's just what it is, you know, I said, I had to check my old bias.

But this littleing so he snatches the whole packet imp nadus and then he like, so they're assembling their impanadus and after they assemble, they go to the fry station.

Now I set my own rule.

I was like, he may not go to the fry station because what we won't be having up in here is no hot grits, hot oil situation, none of that.

It didn't matter, I didn't.

It didn't matter because he didn't need to go to the fry station because this motherfucker bit the impanada like eight half of it raw.

Speaker 3

From plants in fields to plants on your plate.

Speaker 2

We've heard of adults going on raw food diets where everything is that they eat is uncooked.

Speaker 3

Yes, but is a raw diet, say for kids?

Speaker 2

Chu City Shoe has the story.

Speaker 1

And That's when I was like, oh, you, he may absolutely not go.

Speaker 3

To the.

Speaker 1

He may not, I said at once, let me saying four more times, he may not go to the fries station.

But the rest of them were very pleased with their impanadas, and they were like, I can make this shit at home.

And the majority of the of the peach ones that you find happened to be some portion of Puerto Rican.

It's a large Puerto Rican population in Cleveland, Ohio that I didn't know about, but yeah, it was.

It was.

It was a week at the jail, and it was.

It's always one of my favorites.

And shout out to all the volunteers and shout out to the kids, shout out to you all.

I got so much love for you, some of you, because you know, some of y'all will work in my fucking nerves.

And the ones who work my nerves, I let them know and they usually end up being your favorite and you end up being theirs as well.

One of them kids told Deray, he said, you run campaign ero, you don't run.

Speaker 9

Me like y'all be bad as.

Speaker 1

And I laugh, I I will share a Should I share that story?

I told you.

Speaker 8

No, Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, just I just want you all to know though, that I experienced you know, here, Jada next day, we write a fine line of dark humor, and I experienced one of the finest dark comedic moments that I have ever witnessed in my whole, entire black ass adult life.

It was impeccable timing, wit, creativity, pace.

Speaker 1

It was a masterful.

Honestly, it was masterful.

Speaker 3

And inappropriate for this show.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, yeah, you have to catch it on the Patreot.

You catch that on the Patriot.

I could not use forks to seal the Inpornadus, so we had to use the ends of spoons.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah, well that makes sense.

Speaker 1

To me, which actually was really great.

Gave you some nice intentions.

So yeah, I just I love those kids.

I really have so so much love for them, and and I just I can't wait for you all to hear the episode.

Speaker 2

Yeah, let's take a break and we'll be back with more show hit it Claude.

Speaker 1

After these messages, will be right back.

Speaker 4

Jenny Jackson showed up in London to see the fifteen hundredth performance of Cadbaret and she got the streets childkin.

She was holding hands with Maxwell that they've been uh seen looking kind of firs.

Speaker 3

And we're black.

Yeah, just chatting, just chatting.

Speaker 1

It's just uh so you know, what what are you about to say?

Speaker 3

Told me about this colored relationship situation?

Speaker 1

Oh shit, I forgot about that.

So, you know, we don't do a lot of pop culture here, but i've recently now that you know the Internet, you have to take this with a grain of salt.

XD just told me that you niggas are dating computers, which is crazy.

But I see that niggas are speculating about a relationship betwixt h Maxwell and Janet Jackson.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I've seen some buzzing around that.

I don't know how how much validity, yeah, is surrounding.

Yeah, but you know sure.

Speaker 1

Both of them been famous too long and are too famous to not especially her, but both of them to not to be just doing reckless shit in public, you know what I mean.

So, but I did see someone in the comments say this is the lavender relationship that we all deserve, and so I asked XD what he knows about lavender relationships, and he was not hip to the t.

It was not also called violet relationships.

Speaker 2

Which I do want to say, after finding out what they are, I feel like calling them lavender and violet is extremely homophobous.

Speaker 1

Problematic as fuck?

What you mean like, it's probably first of all, the whole ideology behind the relationships is problematic, just in the sense where So this is another thing I encountered in the jail, was you know these young these young men especially, love to throw out a barrage of homophobic epithets.

Yes, oh honey, it is.

It's like us with a nigga.

And so you know, they say it a lot, and they throw it around as insults and jokes and all manners of things.

Right, So we have plenty of female and homophobic conversations.

When I say female, it was yep, it was a lot of It was a lot of female.

What the same as I did last time?

I did it this time.

So they're throwing these words out and I'm like, no, no, no, I said, let's have a real conversation.

How many little niggas in this jail do you all think are gay?

And I could see the d O be like, oh god, what is she doing?

Speaker 3

What is she doing?

Speaker 1

I was like, I was like, hold on, just let me, let me rock.

So I say, how man, little niggas in here you think are gay?

Speaker 9

Oh?

Speaker 1

We know a few, you know.

So they get going and I'm like, all right, pause, not pause, Have they told you that they are gay?

Speaker 3

No?

Speaker 1

I'm like, okay, so how do you know because we know, like we know.

And I'm like, okay, why do you think they haven't told you that they are if they are?

Because it's nasty?

And I was like, no, no, no, no, what was your response right there?

How did you frame this entire being of a person based off of their sexuality?

So they stopping it thinking about it, and I'm like, so, why do you think again, they have not told you their truth because we say stuff like this being the fuck?

Oh?

I was like exactly.

I was like, you all demonize them, and then they don't feel safe.

And then when people don't feel safe and they have to do things in secret, then that that brings forth another element of unsafety.

I was like, unsafety in many forms, physical, emotional, et cetera.

I was like, now, why do you think you all speak this way?

And then we start talking going into families and that kind of stuff.

But I was you know, we had to have those kind of conversations and there was a reason.

Why was I telling you that?

Why was I telling you that?

Oh?

Because of lavender relationships.

So we had to have though.

But yes, the idea of quote unquote lavender or violent relationships is homophobic within itself.

But the reason these people have to have these relationships is because y'all can't stop being hateful over time.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

Essentially, lavender marriage or violent marriages are marriages of convenience, and they're typically a heterosexual dynamic perceived right, Like, on the outside, you have a man and a woman.

Speaker 3

However, either one of them is.

Speaker 2

Gay or queer or whatever, bisexual, whatever or plus whatever that means to you, right plus LGBTQ plus.

Speaker 1

Oh oh copy copy copy, Yeah, you right right.

Speaker 2

I don't I identify as a homosexual.

Speaker 1

Me and NOA both know that.

Speaker 2

That's the best because I also trying to, like, because a lot of those words are politicized, and so when I have to think about who I am as a person, like when people like identify me as queer, I'd be like, no, I'm not that that's fair, that's fair.

But I also don't think I'm gay either.

I just be like I'm homosexual, Like I have sex with same gender.

Speaker 3

Okay, you know I am nigosexual and nigo romantic.

Speaker 1

I think nigoseexual was perfect.

That tells me everything I need to know personally.

Speaker 3

Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2

And I don't want anything to be you know, misconstrued or confused or conflated.

Speaker 3

You know, yes, but I but yes, I.

Speaker 2

There's so many lavender marriages out there and I and when I'm looking at this definition, the first thing that came up with was Hollywood.

Oh yeah, like uh, like Rock Hudson, Montgomery Cliff to those people, those gates.

Speaker 1

Are huh and uh and uh.

Marlon all the Menelis and the Meneli's in the in the Garlands, which allies.

If you you know what I'm saying, It's like Catholicism with African spirituality.

Give me a front.

They lived at a time, They lived at a time in a garden and.

Speaker 3

Yeah, because you can't tell me, and tell me damn.

Speaker 1

One of the great pleasures in my life is cooking for Jeffrey.

Speaker 3

I love it.

Speaker 1

It's it's about taking care of him.

Speaker 2

It's about giving him something that he just loves to eat.

Speaker 1

That affection has really contributed to my cooking because it.

Speaker 3

Makes me wanted to do because you know, I often wonder.

Speaker 2

I'm like, because there's one thing, because this is the hotist conversation, there's one thing to have like this the beard, and we're covering this up right, I don't want niggas to know that I get down when they get down.

Speaker 3

But there's also like.

Speaker 2

Companionship, right, yes, Like I feel like relationships have an unconventional relationship through this guy's a companionship because I mean, yeah, she might be sexually attracted to a different gender or whatever that, but that doesn't mean that you aren't romantically attracted to something else or different or you know what I mean, Like.

Speaker 1

Why that your companionship is just uh, is just.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you know what, I want to get married and we we home days, and you know, we we want to spend the rest of our lives together, regardless if we're not necessarily no compatible sexually.

Speaker 1

I will tell you as as a kid, as a teenager, and as an adult, I will never fully understand the Michael Jackson at least I'm a re pressley situation.

But you know, maybe it is not for me to understand.

And I swear to God, when I was a kid you could see his ball slipped out in that video.

Watch that You Are Not Alone video.

I swear to beans this nigga's nut slipped out.

I swear you can't tell me other go rewatch rewatch it.

Speaker 3

We're gonna we're gonna watch it on Patriots.

Speaker 2

I would never thought I would ever heard or say those that's like that one video of method Man with his dick slips out.

I can't find it again, but his like whole like, yeah, yeah, I look for it.

Google the thing.

Speaker 3

You can look that.

Speaker 2

But I swear I'm not looking up the moments that Michael Jackson is.

Speaker 1

No, we're watching that you Are Not Alone video.

Promise you should google right now.

Speaker 3

Speaker 2

Why I told you why we can't because that song was written by Oh God.

Speaker 1

But I didn't know that before you told me that.

So what does that mean?

Well, you know, but I did ask you.

If I didn't ask you, but it is.

Speaker 2

Individual as a deformed but he wasn't decisions are you going to make today?

Speaker 3

Speaker 1

I told Noah, we don't eat Chick fil a.

Speaker 3

One game friend and everything is really.

Speaker 1

Noah, should I tell them here?

Do they need to go to Patreo.

I'll give you the truncated version.

We're talking about stuff, and I mentioned how we shouldn't eat Chick fil A because of their politics, and Noah was fed up with me.

Here you go with something else, like, you get one gay friend and all of a sudden, you are an ally for the LGBTQ community.

And I was like, first of all, I've been an ally little nigga.

Second of all, you are too.

She's like, I'm not saying anything's wrong.

I'm just saying you're an ally for everything.

So I said, wait about this one gay friend?

Who is it?

Who's this one gay friend?

Because I was like, a lot of my friends are well XD, of course, And I was like not the of course, Okay, all right.

I was like yeah, And then she proceeded to be like, wait, you said a lot of them, and she listed off a barrage and I confirmed or denied, you know what I mean, depending upon what the answer was.

And it was humorous.

Yeah, it was humorous she was and she was not shocked by the information.

It was just kind of like, okay, all right, well, I guess it's not one ding girl all right, and these are close people.

You get one gay friend and here you go with your flag.

I'm like, I'm trying to raise the socially conscious little nigga.

Little nigga like, oh man, it's it's been a week.
