Speaker 1: guys for joining us today. We know that we missed
Speaker 1: you all this week. We was on vacation. Everybody was
Speaker 1: out of town, was on vacation. We was working. That
Speaker 1: was vacation, work working, vacation. I'm sorry. I was working.
Speaker 1: I was in New Orleans and then Atlanta, and I
Speaker 1: was working. I was frustrated because my designer was on
Speaker 1: some bs. But we're back today. That's where we are
Speaker 1: back today. So thank you guys for joining us today.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys. We hope you guys had a
Speaker 1: good what was it the Holliday last week? No? No,
Speaker 1: we hope ahead a good week. But we're here today.
Speaker 1: I'm giving y'all wash face, no base because oh I'm
Speaker 1: in a I'm in a space. We had talked about
Speaker 1: it later. Yes, indeed, what we're talking about today, lot,
Speaker 1: we were bringing Nick. Let's get Nick first a little
Speaker 1: bit and see how he's doing. He's fining. He back
Speaker 1: home in Arkansas, Arkansas, Arkansas. That's not Arkansas, that's spelled
Speaker 1: our ken. Are you in Arkansas? I am I in
Speaker 1: back in Arkansas and in the state with no mask mandate.
Speaker 1: Chill Lord. Never, I'll never stopped wearing my mask, even
Speaker 1: when they said that they had lax mandates. I never
Speaker 1: stopped wearing my mask. We were just discussing that before
Speaker 1: we came on last Nick. Hello, Nick, welcome, and that's
Speaker 1: probably the Nick Smith and Nick Smith news on all
Speaker 1: social media platforms, and we were talking about the whole
Speaker 1: mass mandate. Nicks, I never dropped how I felt. I've
Speaker 1: never changed the formula of I have not taken the exit.
Speaker 1: I'm very very clear about that. I'm very aware of
Speaker 1: telling everybody openly that I am opposed to me taking
Speaker 1: the vaccine. I am not opposed to anyone else doing
Speaker 1: what they want to do that works for them. But
Speaker 1: what has worked for me for fifteen months is praying
Speaker 1: and spraying. Everybody in my vicinity gets sprayed with lights out.
Speaker 1: You know that because I've sprayed you, I sprayed Kindle,
Speaker 1: I sprayed Trible, in fact, Trible spray herself today. I
Speaker 1: got her train. I got a train. She just walking
Speaker 1: into the road spread herself. Well. In fifteen months we've
Speaker 1: been working together in close proximity, we've all testing negative
Speaker 1: over time every time for coronavirus. So whatever my formula is,
Speaker 1: it may sound eccentric, y'all may think I'm a little crazy.
Speaker 1: It has worked for me, Lauren Trible and Kindle and
Speaker 1: my children, anybody that come in my house, so go figure.
Speaker 1: I would also say that you've also been a navocate
Speaker 1: of wearing a mask every time you travel. You have
Speaker 1: also been a fan of you you wipe down your surfaces.
Speaker 1: You've always done that though. That has always been your protocol.
Speaker 1: So yes, it is well if people who don't wash
Speaker 1: their hands, this was a fan time to learn how
Speaker 1: to start washing your damn hands, because I'm telling you
Speaker 1: some people just was not good about washing their hands,
Speaker 1: and hands are wanted the nastiest parts because you touched
Speaker 1: everything you touch. Baby, I've been in the men's room
Speaker 1: and in the women's room, y'all know I have those options.
Speaker 1: And I have seen people roll about the stall after
Speaker 1: being in their tents twelve minutes because either I was
Speaker 1: in their ten twelve minutes or I was watching and
Speaker 1: see who was coming out and go straight out the
Speaker 1: stall and go straight out the bathroom, don't stop and
Speaker 1: wash their hands or nothing. It is Yeah, So I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's getting out of control. We're definitely
Speaker 1: gonna get to the coronavirus vaccine in fact, and and
Speaker 1: the coronavirus numbers. But how was your week? How was Boston?
Speaker 1: Boston was good, Boston was fantastic. You know, and went
Speaker 1: to school in Boston years ago. In Boston has always
Speaker 1: held a special place in my heart. Um, I think
Speaker 1: that Boston can be a cold city, but I think
Speaker 1: the ones you get to know Bostonians, they're like friends
Speaker 1: for life. Okay, I will say when I did visit Boston,
Speaker 1: because I had a good in the mind, she went
Speaker 1: to Boston Conservatory. The architecture and the architecture excuse me,
Speaker 1: and Boston is exquisite. It's beautiful. You know, you go
Speaker 1: there and it's kind of like something you've never seen before.
Speaker 1: It's very like Victorian and colonial and it kind of
Speaker 1: it's really beautiful. Definitely. So hey, flame Man's, I see
Speaker 1: y'all chiming in. Hello flame Man's. You guys are so wonderful.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you all. We wouldn't have a show we
Speaker 1: have you all what we need, we would not you know,
Speaker 1: I wanted to start off today. I just want to
Speaker 1: remind everyone to join the conversation. We encourage everyone to
Speaker 1: jump on in if you want to sound off, to
Speaker 1: use the flames to let us know. Make sure you're
Speaker 1: type in all caps and Flame insists that you have
Speaker 1: good WiFi so that you're not cutting out on it
Speaker 1: so that we can use the audio. So find a
Speaker 1: place with good WiFi and go ahead and jump on
Speaker 1: and join the conversation. I can't insist that my wife,
Speaker 1: are you doing damn food? That's a little hypocritical because
Speaker 1: we were having problems over here, But okay, that is okay.
Speaker 1: But also I wouldn't remind people to to also make
Speaker 1: sure that they rate and comment on the show because
Speaker 1: it helps other to find the show. So you all
Speaker 1: are definitely the formula to our success, and we thank you.
Speaker 1: Where we're going, where we're going to take you take
Speaker 1: the lead. Start. I want to start with giving a
Speaker 1: shout out to Robert Moses. We talked about that earlier
Speaker 1: civil rights icon who passed away over the weekend. UH.
Speaker 1: He was a crusader from math education and he was
Speaker 1: also part of the group UH. He died on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and he was part of the group that UH went
Speaker 1: through the South in the sixties and a very uncomfortable
Speaker 1: time encouraging others to register to vote and as trying
Speaker 1: to get black people engaged in the political process. He
Speaker 1: passed away on Sunday, UM at the age I believe
Speaker 1: of eighty six, and I just wanted to give a
Speaker 1: shout out to him and the work that he's done,
Speaker 1: because we have so many UH civil rights pioneers who
Speaker 1: are UH in the in the latter years of their lives,
Speaker 1: but have been part of the struggle from the beginning.
Speaker 1: And they deserve our highest accolades. Yeah, that's the rest
Speaker 1: in peace, Robert Moses, and we don't want to disregard
Speaker 1: what they have done to help us to get to
Speaker 1: where we are. Even though sometimes it seems like we
Speaker 1: are going backwards, we are definitely going forward. Rest in peace,
Speaker 1: and tell him and all the civil rights leaders and
Speaker 1: people who has helped us through the struggle. You know,
Speaker 1: I want to go next, Nicklas, because I want to
Speaker 1: talk about this. I wanted to go to the Olympics,
Speaker 1: because we've talked about how ye I gotta go straight there.
Speaker 1: First of all, I used to love to watch the Olympics.
Speaker 1: I have no interest in watching the Olympics this year,
Speaker 1: absolute zero. Um. I don't like how they did so
Speaker 1: many things. I don't like that the numbers are coming
Speaker 1: out crazy with the coronavirus. And I don't like that
Speaker 1: they are not acknowledging the talent of some of these
Speaker 1: athletes because of personal reasons, or they change in the
Speaker 1: laws and the rules day by day by day, they
Speaker 1: changed it to be what they wanted to be, kind
Speaker 1: of like what they're doing with the GOP. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I see it is. But I don't like this. I
Speaker 1: don't like that. You're you're right though, because I remember
Speaker 1: you and I you know, we grew up in the
Speaker 1: same age where you got excited about the Olympics. We
Speaker 1: remember not a Comana and yeah and Mary lou Retton
Speaker 1: and all of those things that seems so exciting there.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure if because we were caught up
Speaker 1: in what patriotism was at the time, and we weren't
Speaker 1: as woke then as we are now about so many
Speaker 1: things that we're supposed to be Americanism and tying us
Speaker 1: all in together, or things have just changed so much
Speaker 1: that uh, like I said, like you said, this year,
Speaker 1: it just does not seem the same. It seems off
Speaker 1: this year for some reason. I mean, I don't feel
Speaker 1: like anything has necessarily changed. I just think because from
Speaker 1: a personal opinion, I think if we look at history,
Speaker 1: the Olympics has always been a bit racist. It has,
Speaker 1: you know, we can go back to you know, the
Speaker 1: first athlete decided to hold his fist up, you know,
Speaker 1: when he sit on the pedestal when he was accepting
Speaker 1: his medal. So I think that there's always been you know,
Speaker 1: subliminal or overt racism, you know, depending on who you are.
Speaker 1: I think now because of all of the turmoil that's
Speaker 1: really happened in specifically around George Floyd, and you know,
Speaker 1: all of the police brutality that's coming to light, I
Speaker 1: think that there's more of a light being shown on
Speaker 1: the racist tendencies of the Olympics. Um even taking it
Speaker 1: down to flame. I sent you this article that you know,
Speaker 1: someone like Shikari Richardson was you know, basically disqualified from participating.
Speaker 1: But then you have this other white athlete named um
Speaker 1: Megan Rappano who's promoting cannabis usage and saying how it's
Speaker 1: helping to enhance her athletic abilities around the Olympics. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of um, you know, double standards happening
Speaker 1: around here. And you know, Flames talked about someone Biles
Speaker 1: and how they're saying it's unfair to score her. Rio.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Rio and Ryan locktey oh we got
Speaker 1: robbed and we see the video like you're kidding me?
Speaker 1: How was that not a poor representation of what sportsmanship
Speaker 1: and what America is supposed to be about. But even
Speaker 1: more than that, even if we don't want to put
Speaker 1: the label on the Olympics, let's just talk about the
Speaker 1: weight that must be on American athletes to go and
Speaker 1: represent a country that has been less than transparent in
Speaker 1: its love for you, particularly if you are a person
Speaker 1: of color. So I think that it's almost, like you said,
Speaker 1: Lauren's almost hypocritical, uh to not address the issues or
Speaker 1: concerns and then to possibly be upset if they dare to.
Speaker 1: Don't you speak up, don't you go over there and
Speaker 1: embarrass us, You stay in your lane. You do exactly
Speaker 1: what they gave you a pre warning they when they
Speaker 1: when they started changing swim capped laws, and you already
Speaker 1: knew that it was bullshit in the game. That's why
Speaker 1: I said that. I thought personally that all black and
Speaker 1: brown athletes, even that qualified and ones that support black
Speaker 1: and brown athletes, shouldn't have taken a stands and pulled
Speaker 1: out to say, if we're not all gonna be treated fair,
Speaker 1: send your second best, because we're the first best, Send
Speaker 1: your second best, Send the B lists because the B
Speaker 1: lists weren't gonna do what we did. And then now
Speaker 1: you get the A listers there and you're still not
Speaker 1: treating them with respect. They don't want to give some
Speaker 1: own bios her credit because she is doing something that
Speaker 1: no one else can do. That is what we do.
Speaker 1: We create and spaces and become people that no one
Speaker 1: else can do. Give her acknowledgement. It's bullshit. I wish
Speaker 1: they would all lead to hear with the Olympics. But
Speaker 1: I think the interesting part is because I did watch
Speaker 1: the preliminaries yesterday, Like Simon is still ranked number one,
Speaker 1: However she didn't. She wasn't perfect yesterday, is what the
Speaker 1: narrative is now. So that's it's like you're not going
Speaker 1: to score her appropriately for her you know, actual gymnastic
Speaker 1: abilities and how amazing she is. And if she's not perfect,
Speaker 1: y'all are still going to talk badly about her as well.
Speaker 1: So and this even goes back to you know, Naomi
Speaker 1: Osaka and while she pulled out you know of um,
Speaker 1: I'm forgiving what's the name of it, well, thank you
Speaker 1: the Australian Open. Because it's like there's so much criticism
Speaker 1: around you know, these young black women that they need to,
Speaker 1: you know, take a moment to really address their mental health.
Speaker 1: Because if I'm not perfect, you've got a problem with it.
Speaker 1: But if I am perfect and I have all of
Speaker 1: these amazing abilities, you're not gonna give me my due credit.
Speaker 1: So it's like, so what do you do? You know,
Speaker 1: you pull a Naomi soccer because I think she's the
Speaker 1: smartest person. Whoever you have asked her. I think they
Speaker 1: have asked her correctly. I do. She might this out
Speaker 1: on a couple of dollars, It ain't gonna stop her talent,
Speaker 1: and they might come around and respect her. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: have to ammanded, you have to command I said it
Speaker 1: all the time. I'm not going to demand your respect.
Speaker 1: You will treat me the way I treat myself, or
Speaker 1: I will freestyle on your ass. And I think this
Speaker 1: goes back to our question that we kind of posed
Speaker 1: to each other when we said we talked about it
Speaker 1: this week. Are the Olympics this year? The numbers did NBC?
Speaker 1: Is this a bust? You know, how many of our
Speaker 1: flame mats are actually watching the Olympics this year? And
Speaker 1: are they as excited about them as they have been
Speaker 1: maybe in Years Pass? You know, went back in years Pass,
Speaker 1: and I used to love about the Olympics. Remember, used
Speaker 1: to say the joy of victory and the agony of
Speaker 1: defeat and the gay will flat off the skis and
Speaker 1: flip over about five thousand times he broke legs, arms, backbones,
Speaker 1: all that, Oh, my guys, to lift to us that
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, you know I remember just you know, Carl
Speaker 1: Lewis said, and then later Michael Johnson, and I just
Speaker 1: remember track and field all of that was just always
Speaker 1: so exciting, and it just seemed as though it was
Speaker 1: just a different time and era. Again, Lauren, I go
Speaker 1: back to I think that there may have been like
Speaker 1: a willful or woeful ignorance and un welkeness because again
Speaker 1: I think that we were UM. I think that many
Speaker 1: of us have been conditioned in many ways to love
Speaker 1: and support and appreciate a country that has not always
Speaker 1: shown the same level of love and compassion back that
Speaker 1: has never shown let's clarify, I never shown it never so,
Speaker 1: which which should segue into our next topic, which is
Speaker 1: about the whole thing about them wanting to draft women
Speaker 1: for the military right, so that actually falls under the
Speaker 1: National Defense Authorization Act. What's happening is, UH, there's a
Speaker 1: push to once again reinstate the draft period. Uh. There
Speaker 1: are many women who feel as though they are no
Speaker 1: less than men, that they are as smart as capable, UM,
Speaker 1: that they deserve equal protections, UM. And that that also
Speaker 1: means that, hey, if there is a draft, we want
Speaker 1: to be included in that too. That you don't get
Speaker 1: to marginalize us when it's convenient. Now that women now
Speaker 1: serve in every branch of the military, and many of
Speaker 1: whom also serve in combat roles and have done two
Speaker 1: and three tours of Iraq, uh, many believe that they
Speaker 1: are as capable as men and should also be included when,
Speaker 1: when and if a national draft is reinstituted. I have
Speaker 1: said personally to you all, I do believe um in conscription,
Speaker 1: that everyone in some capacity should serve the country. Uh
Speaker 1: if not the military, peace corps, hospice, something where you
Speaker 1: give back and realize that life and community is about
Speaker 1: all of us in this a shared experience. That's just
Speaker 1: my personal belief. I am totally in favor of free college,
Speaker 1: but I do believe that everything comes at a price,
Speaker 1: and I believe that free college is something we should
Speaker 1: do for young people who choose to go to college
Speaker 1: or a trade or something, if they have also taken
Speaker 1: the time to do the two years like we do
Speaker 1: in Germany and in Israel, where we actually just give
Speaker 1: back to the country. And again, everyone doesn't have to
Speaker 1: do the military. Military is the best thing that ever
Speaker 1: happened to me in my life. I love this country.
Speaker 1: I love what the military did for me. I am
Speaker 1: very aware that's not every you sound like Office movie,
Speaker 1: but the back to something Lauren said, I feel so
Speaker 1: you and I've talked about this flame. I feel almost
Speaker 1: I feel so incredibly blessed. At times, I get frustrated
Speaker 1: like everybody else, but I feel as though because I
Speaker 1: grew up in a space where I was allowed to grow,
Speaker 1: to learn, to to know that anything was possible. I
Speaker 1: feel honored in that right, and I want others to
Speaker 1: have that same experience. And I believe that somehow, sometimes
Speaker 1: being removed from um, a space that is so familiar,
Speaker 1: where everyone looks like you, can sometimes help to broaden
Speaker 1: your horizons. Let me say this for the record publicly.
Speaker 1: I will never allow any of my children my offspring
Speaker 1: to join this United States military in any capacity. I
Speaker 1: will never have my children fight for a country that
Speaker 1: we are fighting against already. In the words of Malcolm X,
Speaker 1: why would I go and fight the viet Cong who
Speaker 1: ain't did nothing to me? When I'm right here in
Speaker 1: my own country, I can't even be free. Rest in peace,
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali, because you were the greatest dear for real,
Speaker 1: because hear me when I tell you. If I ain't
Speaker 1: drive down the street with my windows down and my
Speaker 1: music playing, because you see my black skin and it's
Speaker 1: a problem for you, why the hell am I gonna
Speaker 1: go to Afghanistan or Russia or anywhere else that has
Speaker 1: a war to fight for some people, and then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come back here and be treated like a second
Speaker 1: class citizens and this is not just for black people.
Speaker 1: We have We have veterans here in California that are homeless,
Speaker 1: all nationality, all races, that they are doing absolutely nothing
Speaker 1: for it. So it's an absolute note for me, A man.
Speaker 1: I hear you, Nicholas, I'm glad it worked out for you.
Speaker 1: But for the ones that I see out here on
Speaker 1: the streets Salmon Exit where they where their dog tags
Speaker 1: and walking around here homeless looking scragg fuck the military.
Speaker 1: Did I say that publicly? Yea um. But my question
Speaker 1: is I think that it's you know, great that they
Speaker 1: want to open up this draft to both men and women.
Speaker 1: But what's going on with the pay is my question?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna start paying men and women equally that
Speaker 1: are participating in the military. Is that gonna happen? That's
Speaker 1: my question. Well, you're you're paid by rank, so it's
Speaker 1: definitely not gender based. I think the military is the
Speaker 1: one area where and comfortably say Lauren that it really
Speaker 1: is not about gender. That you come in as an
Speaker 1: enlisted member, if you're enlisted, unless you come in as
Speaker 1: an officer. But the ones, all the ones are paid
Speaker 1: the same, regardless of anatomy um, regardless of gender. Identification. Uh,
Speaker 1: and the one is paid in the one salary and
Speaker 1: up the scale. So can I ask the question? Can
Speaker 1: I ask you a question the seriously? So if I
Speaker 1: joined the military and I'm trying, can I get two checks,
Speaker 1: one for him and one for her? I'm just asking
Speaker 1: for free. I didn't combo, didn't they kicked the trains
Speaker 1: out the military? And didn't they? Yeah? Trump put a
Speaker 1: Yeah Trump, Trump put a band, but that was lifted
Speaker 1: immediately with the y'all just keep on rolling with the
Speaker 1: Trump because y'all see they knocking them down. They're trying
Speaker 1: to get to them. They're going through all the bowling Pine.
Speaker 1: Who they get yesterday? What's his name? They're getting close,
Speaker 1: and that's not Obama. Don't don't get it twisted. That
Speaker 1: is not Obama. Obama ain't got nothing to do with
Speaker 1: that ship. You know, he loves to blame Obama for everything.
Speaker 1: You can't blame Obama for their someone. They're coming. They're
Speaker 1: coming to get you, Barbara, Barbara, They're coming to get
Speaker 1: you that in Hillary. I'm surprised they have not found
Speaker 1: a way to blame Hillary. So the question remains also
Speaker 1: for the flame mets when they chime in later, do
Speaker 1: you believe women should be included? Uh if they reinstitute
Speaker 1: the draft, do you believe that women should be included
Speaker 1: and also be required to uh sign their name and
Speaker 1: register for a potential draft. That's the question for the Flamemets.
Speaker 1: We shall see, we shall see. I'm not running. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be in the military. I don't want
Speaker 1: to check. I don't want to be I don't want
Speaker 1: a few good men. I don't want to get my country,
Speaker 1: none of it, not just the military. What do you
Speaker 1: think about like peace Corps, something where you give back
Speaker 1: community service? Anything? Should people done community service? I owe
Speaker 1: some tickets and I've done community service, so my my
Speaker 1: time has been served. I had some tickets that I
Speaker 1: couldn't pay back before they ready, and I did community
Speaker 1: service for forty hours, so I have done my time.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Ridiculous. Well, listen, listen. I love the fact
Speaker 1: that they're saying, and you know, opening enough for everybody.
Speaker 1: But what kind of war we're gonna have? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I don't want to go and fight
Speaker 1: a war where it's not gonna do anything fair for
Speaker 1: the country that we live in. I need the people
Speaker 1: that we live in the people who were willing to
Speaker 1: go and sign up and fight for this country to
Speaker 1: be treated fairly and until the end. I don't think
Speaker 1: and and this is me. I have no, of course idea,
Speaker 1: but I don't believe the next combat we have will
Speaker 1: be one that is boots on the ground. I just
Speaker 1: think that the world has got to move past that.
Speaker 1: I expected to be cyber or some type of chemical
Speaker 1: warfare or something where we use drones. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're doing that. Guess what it's called coronavirus. Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody ain't no damn bad. Ain't nobody ain't no bad.
Speaker 1: Even even the Yangs don't eat bad. Now. They may
Speaker 1: either look look fightal or a look heavy, but they
Speaker 1: ain't ain't no damn match. This was some ship that
Speaker 1: they created. And I said, Hi, I'm saying it publicly. Baby,
Speaker 1: I said, I ain't gonna even finish because y'all know
Speaker 1: they'd be mad at me. You know, I don't care them.
Speaker 1: We have it on the list that we were going
Speaker 1: to talk about doctor Dre and Nicole Young. Wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. So just to let everybody know what Lauren
Speaker 1: is talking about. There, Uh, we're talking about Dr Dre
Speaker 1: has been ordered to pay ex Nicole Young more than
Speaker 1: three point five million dollars per year in spousal support. Um.
Speaker 1: As we know, the couple have been on the alson
Speaker 1: at times their divorce and the acrimony over that had
Speaker 1: become rather public. But it looks like it has been settled.
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, it looks like three d thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a month in spousal support. Um. But you know, supposedly um.
Speaker 1: The rapper also sees a win. According to the blast Uh,
Speaker 1: the music mocal and his ex wife are both happy
Speaker 1: about this settlement. Um, he is the three hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a month, but he I'm sorry, three hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a month, but he doesn't have to give up
Speaker 1: any publishing rights and this is only until the children
Speaker 1: are all of legal age or she remarries. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something in response to the code, she was
Speaker 1: an attorney before smart girl. Secondly, from the woman aspect,
Speaker 1: good pussy speak for ourselves. Don't let anybody tell you
Speaker 1: different than it, don't baby, three hundred three hundred how
Speaker 1: much you getting three hundred thousand a month? Million a year?
Speaker 1: But three hundred thousand a month. Ye come on the code.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. I'm happy for her. Shoot, twenty five years.
Speaker 1: That's a long investment, I know, and I hate to
Speaker 1: say this, but I'm just being honest. You know, people
Speaker 1: talk about love and marriage. When you get married, that's
Speaker 1: a business contract, okay. And when you get divorced, you're
Speaker 1: finalizing you know, you're getting your affairs in order around
Speaker 1: your business. So I'm happy for her. You know, that
Speaker 1: was a large investment, and you know, she came on
Speaker 1: the scene in the midst of Michela and everything else
Speaker 1: Dr Dre had going on, and she invested twenty five years,
Speaker 1: gave him two kids. She said, I'm ready to leave now,
Speaker 1: and she's getting three point five million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: So peace and blessings to her. Good for her, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, Lauren, you know what you just kind of
Speaker 1: touched on something I want to ask you about. Flame.
Speaker 1: I kind of discussed this earlier, but I just want
Speaker 1: to throw this out there because an actress I absolutely
Speaker 1: love got married over the weekend. I was like, oh, Flame,
Speaker 1: she got married, and Nick. She was like, Nick, that's
Speaker 1: a good thing, and I'm like, funny, I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna kill her creativity though she's like you think so,
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, something about marriage throws people off their game,
Speaker 1: that they won't be the same anymore. And I'm talking
Speaker 1: about one of my favorites. And what did I say
Speaker 1: to you about her get married? You said that, you
Speaker 1: said that love makes a woman even stronger, especially when
Speaker 1: you got a strong backbone. The old phrase about behind
Speaker 1: every good man is a great man is a good woman.
Speaker 1: Behind every good woman is a strong man. If that
Speaker 1: man is believing in her and in her corner, he
Speaker 1: will open her mind and her her abilities to places
Speaker 1: that she never knew. Because love is phenomenon. I just
Speaker 1: don't work with it. But love is phenomenal. I don't
Speaker 1: fok with that lady, and they don't play fair. I
Speaker 1: don't like. Let me just something love can be now
Speaker 1: by the woman. I don't work with her because she
Speaker 1: too faced. She stabbed you in the back. I don't
Speaker 1: with love. I'm not afraid of a new love, but
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of the old hurt. Congratulations to East. First
Speaker 1: of all, let's talk about how fucking beautiful she looked
Speaker 1: down and mirror and her smile is incredible. Let's start
Speaker 1: right there that chocolate skin diva right there, baby, But
Speaker 1: that and the man is handsome. I would I bet
Speaker 1: you the mirror was pleased on the night of the
Speaker 1: marriage because you know the mirror was one. You know
Speaker 1: they did it in the mirror. You know, mirror have
Speaker 1: to have to say so, you know, a mirror, mirror
Speaker 1: on the wall if you want, ugly people do it
Speaker 1: and then in front of the mirror, and the mirror
Speaker 1: just cracked. But when pretty people do it in front
Speaker 1: of the mirror, like yes, now when funny what can
Speaker 1: people do it? The mirror just turned around back was
Speaker 1: like I can't look at this ship. No. But on
Speaker 1: a serious note, I do I have to disagree, like
Speaker 1: I think that one I thinksa Ray is too much
Speaker 1: of a businesswoman to enter into anything that's not going
Speaker 1: to um, you know, grow or make her career even
Speaker 1: more fruitful at the end of the day. And if
Speaker 1: that man was not supporting her the way that he
Speaker 1: was supposed to, I do not see her marrying him
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. But I have to
Speaker 1: agree with flame that when you get married. Yes, I
Speaker 1: talked about it being a business agreement, but the love
Speaker 1: should still be there. You know what I mean. There
Speaker 1: should be the emotional support, the trust, you know, all
Speaker 1: of those different components. Um. Business is just always at
Speaker 1: the forefront of my brain. So, like I said, whoever
Speaker 1: I'm married, it's still gonna be a business agreement. I
Speaker 1: gotta love you and everything to that that comes second.
Speaker 1: But um and and all in all, I think that
Speaker 1: Easter Ray wouldn't have married that man if he wasn't
Speaker 1: doing what he was supposed to do in that relationship. Ms. Marsha,
Speaker 1: you trained this and whales. You know what to do. Baby,
Speaker 1: you're married. You look you're married. You Mary, I like,
Speaker 1: I like you enough that I'm gonna have your kids,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna take care of my grandkids and I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna have to worry about smart move on the ladies,
Speaker 1: but my daughter. Yeah one, I'm okay. Let's stay in
Speaker 1: the world of entertainment. Because one of the things that
Speaker 1: also came up before you bring in the Flamets, because
Speaker 1: I definitely want to hear them sound off about this
Speaker 1: Prince and new music. So it looks like new music
Speaker 1: will be dropping this September from Prince, and I had
Speaker 1: said earlier to Flame, you know, I'm not sure how
Speaker 1: I feel about that. I feel like Prince was one
Speaker 1: of those artists who if he wanted his music out there,
Speaker 1: he would have put it out there. I think that
Speaker 1: doing it posthumously isn't the same as the artist himself
Speaker 1: dropping the music. But I'm open to hear what people
Speaker 1: have to say. Okay, well, we're gonna bring you all
Speaker 1: in on that, Nick, thank you. We're gonna bring in
Speaker 1: some Flamet's. I ain't got to say about the whole
Speaker 1: Prince music then, because let me tell you someone, I'm dead,
Speaker 1: they're gonna still show my videos. Thank god. I ain't
Speaker 1: got no elicit ones, but some people do get some
Speaker 1: elicit ones of me. But John wait time did just
Speaker 1: to show him all right, Nick, thank you, love. Let's
Speaker 1: get us a flamemting here, um Flamet's way in. Tell
Speaker 1: us what you think about what we have started off
Speaker 1: this conversation with thus far, I started off with coffee time.
Speaker 1: This want to bring my baby Bobby in. Hi, Bobby, Hey, First,
Speaker 1: I want to say, you know, for us unfriendly called Bostonians,
Speaker 1: I didn't hear from you, Nick. Oh that's right, you
Speaker 1: were right there and you were right there with Bobby Clifford.
Speaker 1: You never called Bobby shady even just a hop skip
Speaker 1: and it jump down the cape. How are you, Ms Clifford,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, sweetie. How are you? I'm just busting your
Speaker 1: chops neck. I'm only joking. I hope you had a
Speaker 1: great time. I wish your weather was better here we
Speaker 1: had really crutty weather. Have you been watching the Olympics, Bobby, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not watching. I'm out. I'm sort of out. I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not interested. Um and the Olympics this time?
Speaker 1: Is that awful? No? Not, because, let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: I was excited about the Olympics. They maybe I'm like you.
Speaker 1: They made me not want to watch. All the controversy
Speaker 1: around it made me uninterested. Hello handsome Jesse. Hello, Hello.
Speaker 1: We saw you Nick with your with your body hanging
Speaker 1: out one. I just finished alone old Mole on Old
Speaker 1: School that it's a real mod But back to the subject.
Speaker 1: You guys have brought up some great subjects. Women in
Speaker 1: the military. I liked the idea of if there's a draft,
Speaker 1: not just drafting people into the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines,
Speaker 1: and now Space Force, but also possibly having it go
Speaker 1: to the peace Corps having it. Yeah. Yeah, like like
Speaker 1: this is just giving back the service. And then then
Speaker 1: if you do that, yeah, you can get free free
Speaker 1: state college or whatever. And it doesn't have to be fighting, right,
Speaker 1: It wasn't wasn't set up, but wasn't one of Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's things that he wanted to give free military for
Speaker 1: state college. You don't have to go to the military.
Speaker 1: When one of his things that he wanted to do
Speaker 1: he wanted to cancel student Day. Yeah, he still he
Speaker 1: wanted to cancel. He wanted to do both of those things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he wants to. It was also Barack Obamas. They
Speaker 1: get um community college free for everybody that the first time,
Speaker 1: and he's really set on trying to get it done again.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll be able to, you know,
Speaker 1: with the partisanship that we're all seeing, and that that
Speaker 1: ended of itself is a totally different subject that we
Speaker 1: should talk about one of these days, because the whole
Speaker 1: idea of free college, like the fact that they're saying
Speaker 1: that it's impossible and it's not. It doesn't have colleges
Speaker 1: have gone up in prison anyway. Back to what you said,
Speaker 1: the military, I think it's a good idea that if
Speaker 1: you're going to have the draft, if you're going to
Speaker 1: have the draft, do it like like like, um is
Speaker 1: read everyone, Well, here's my question. Here's my question. So
Speaker 1: you started drafting all these people to the military, and
Speaker 1: some of these people are homophobic, but you you you
Speaker 1: draft trans women and ran trans me into How are
Speaker 1: you gonna treat me? So if I'm drafted into the
Speaker 1: military and you homophobic and I'm putting in a place
Speaker 1: with you, I can't feel like you're gonna protect me
Speaker 1: or you're gonna save my life because you don't like
Speaker 1: my lifestyle. That no, I'm not. I mean, even if
Speaker 1: we want to take it to what's happening currently too,
Speaker 1: is that a lot of there's a serious rape culture
Speaker 1: problem in the military that is currently finally starting to
Speaker 1: be addressed, where um, I don't know all of the specifics,
Speaker 1: but I saw a news report where it's saying that
Speaker 1: now outside like counsel and those sort of things can
Speaker 1: come into play when these allegations come up, because before
Speaker 1: the military stands was We're gonna handle all of these
Speaker 1: allegations internally and no outside council can come in and participate.
Speaker 1: Now they're changing those laws so that way these women
Speaker 1: who were you know, have these accusations are saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I was assaulted or actually assaulted, they can
Speaker 1: actually get fair trials and you know, a fair shot
Speaker 1: at actually, you know, addressing set accusers. They raped me
Speaker 1: in too, Come on, climb through my window and take
Speaker 1: my pennies off. You're surprised it is something else, but
Speaker 1: Violin though, Violin, like, I think that it's too often
Speaker 1: what we're doing here. It's not what's happening. Everything is
Speaker 1: so partisan that you're not having these discussions to where
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, yeah, so if you're going to start
Speaker 1: the draft, let's keep it open for everyone, not even thinking, well,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, there's the whole rape culture in the military.
Speaker 1: You know, why aren't we addressing that first of all? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with Jesse. I'm saying they have to fix that.
Speaker 1: So the hope is that they figure it out to
Speaker 1: fix it. I mean that we have to be number one, right,
Speaker 1: you can't have women coming in and triens women coming
Speaker 1: in if they haven't fixed the rape people. Bobby, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm even just listening. I'm changed in
Speaker 1: my mind, like it's saying they have to fix it.
Speaker 1: Is the beginning of the process, Like that's going to
Speaker 1: be they have to fix it. It's going to take years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what are they talking about the what are they
Speaker 1: talking about doing the draft? So it was in the
Speaker 1: next four years. They could have started on January six
Speaker 1: in d C. We already had a war right here
Speaker 1: in this country at the Capitol ship. We ain't got
Speaker 1: to go nowhere else. We ain't gotta go nowhere else
Speaker 1: and fight. They started writing at January six. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry they said that it was tourists. Well, the good
Speaker 1: thing is there committee members. There's a committee that's actually
Speaker 1: been assembled for that. You know, we'll see something come
Speaker 1: out of that as well. Y'all know that's my beach
Speaker 1: right there, y'all get y'all can say with y'all, y'all
Speaker 1: know I adore Nancy Pelosi. If she was on here
Speaker 1: right now, girl, I get naked for you, come get it.
Speaker 1: I love Nancy Pelosi. You know what I love about
Speaker 1: Nancy Nancy She's unafraid. She's gonna say what she got
Speaker 1: to say, and she's gonna get the job done. And
Speaker 1: even when all these big week me and try to
Speaker 1: come at it. Miss Nancy, don't play with y'all. Bobby,
Speaker 1: what did you just say about Shaney? I said, it's
Speaker 1: brave like that she's on the group. I think any
Speaker 1: of the poor Republicans and I'm just saying for for
Speaker 1: the first time. I mean, I think they're going to
Speaker 1: be excommunicated after being on this committee. I don't feel
Speaker 1: bad about I think the overplay for the underplay. I
Speaker 1: think publicly she tried to make it look like she
Speaker 1: was on on on our side, and privately she was
Speaker 1: running a scam. Well you could look at her voting record.
Speaker 1: It was like ninety percent of the time she voted
Speaker 1: in favor of what Trump wanted to do. So it's
Speaker 1: just I guess they took it a little too far.
Speaker 1: And she was like, wait a minute, I'm not, you know,
Speaker 1: a Trump Republican. I'm a Republican like my daddy was.
Speaker 1: So I think they just took it a little too
Speaker 1: far for her. Well, thank you guys so much. You know,
Speaker 1: we appreciate it you thanks for letting us be on.
Speaker 1: Jesse said, it was lovely. I love Jesse. Jesse is
Speaker 1: from London, from the from the UK. It's a mix
Speaker 1: of Texas in UK love it. They say everything is
Speaker 1: bigger in Texas. Jesse, show us that, show us the
Speaker 1: Texas part. I don't want to see the UK pass lounge.
Speaker 1: They love lounge. Lauren. Would if you got drink because
Speaker 1: you're in the age, would you would you go to
Speaker 1: fight for the military? What would you use to say
Speaker 1: you got out of Would you say you had bones spurs?
Speaker 1: Can they like they can't do that anymore? Right? If
Speaker 1: you don't want to go, they can't force you. Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't go this caut you do? What the hell
Speaker 1: they want to do? You see what they're doing? That
Speaker 1: their limits? Now they get black. They don't wanted with
Speaker 1: the black women to wear swim caps because of their breeze.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you how something you got to pay
Speaker 1: attention to what's going on? It was always some bs.
Speaker 1: Can they do that? Like, they can't force you to
Speaker 1: go overseas, right, m I ain't going. You can't force
Speaker 1: me to go to the grocery stores out there? You know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. If there was a draft, call yes to him.
Speaker 1: But what if you have a medical condition? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have to like qualify. We worked for Trump. How many
Speaker 1: times did Trump have a bone spur in his foot
Speaker 1: nine times and the scary fight. I got a bone
Speaker 1: with spuri. You got a golf club, you shoot and
Speaker 1: be like I have asthma so I can't breathe in
Speaker 1: a lot of spaces. Hi, Pam, Hey, how beautiful? Hey baby,
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm good, I'm good. So how do
Speaker 1: you feel about these topics? Let us know some of
Speaker 1: your feedback. Well, the military thing, I think we should do,
Speaker 1: like uh, Israel, everyone gets drafted. We have problems that
Speaker 1: have to be addressed for real and put in place
Speaker 1: with the Commission of studying what the rape culture will
Speaker 1: be for men and women joining the military, and fix
Speaker 1: that ship because you know it's all been undercover so far,
Speaker 1: you know, with all these people getting killed and the
Speaker 1: women getting raped and then cover ups. You can't ask
Speaker 1: for a draft and then keep the same thanks. You know,
Speaker 1: I got my home spurts. I can't go, you can't go. No,
Speaker 1: they hurt too much. But you say, uh, the what's
Speaker 1: your thing? You've got the meat? What can't all three
Speaker 1: of them things can't can't hurt? You mean, oh, the head,
Speaker 1: the feet and the meat. Yeah, it's three things that
Speaker 1: cannot hurt when I'm on stage. That is the head defeat. No, No,
Speaker 1: that ain't gonna that can't happen. And we have the meat.
Speaker 1: We all the meat, thank you, Pamm highs. Everything. It's
Speaker 1: going good. We're staying uh, trying to stay safe, trying
Speaker 1: to stay uh from keep them getting Still, what's having
Speaker 1: in Jersey? What's happening in Jersey with y'all man's mandate. Well,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a relaxed a little bit, but
Speaker 1: a lot of the shops and stores they still require
Speaker 1: people where mask when they shop. But you know, you've
Speaker 1: got the hard headed people still. That's why we end up,
Speaker 1: why we in the predicament we in now now they're
Speaker 1: trying to blame it on all the un unvaccinated people. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's let's let's roll that narrative. It's the unvaccinated people's
Speaker 1: fault now instead of just let's keep protocols that have
Speaker 1: been working. I eat mask, wearing hand washed it and
Speaker 1: the six ft apart. We still have here a lot
Speaker 1: of places where they require six ft apart and that's major.
Speaker 1: And you know people in Jersey for the most party
Speaker 1: like um, excuse me, back it up. That's that's like
Speaker 1: your New Jersey and New York. That's in general, y'all
Speaker 1: gotta have your space. Let me tell you, don't roll
Speaker 1: up on nobody from New York or New Jersey. You
Speaker 1: will get clocked. Okay, now, because we're already very densely
Speaker 1: pope populated, and there's a thing in place where it's
Speaker 1: like especially COVID now, you know, saying the six feet apart. Hey,
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. You know, people are people just
Speaker 1: want to be hardheaded man at you in place? How
Speaker 1: much further we would be if everyone has been more
Speaker 1: co operative with just mask wearing m Where would we
Speaker 1: be right now? Image we would be. Imagine where we
Speaker 1: would be if we would have been for warned, like
Speaker 1: from the top, from the top at the time that
Speaker 1: they knew what was coming, because they didn't tell us
Speaker 1: until it was here. Yeah this, it was here in
Speaker 1: in in August of two thousand nineteen. They should have
Speaker 1: been putting putting the alarm out two thousand nineteen or
Speaker 1: the end of August, or at least September. But you
Speaker 1: know what, that would interrupted Christmas and Thanksgiving and things
Speaker 1: like that, right, bad leadership. First of all, let's go
Speaker 1: out let's revisit Christmas. I don't know where y'all think
Speaker 1: that Santa Claus is for real. Ain't no fat ass
Speaker 1: white man in no desert in the rear velver suit.
Speaker 1: Because if the nigga is, the nigga was dead. Jesus
Speaker 1: was born in the manger. It was warm. It might
Speaker 1: have been a little scrawl, a little camels, a couple
Speaker 1: of mules, even a little pool. But it was a
Speaker 1: fat white man in a red velvet suit. That's some
Speaker 1: bullis ship, first of all. And I didn't realize the
Speaker 1: beauty of Christmas until I moved to California, because on
Speaker 1: Christmas Day in California they rad bikes and walk around
Speaker 1: in beat shoes. In Chicago, you can't even go outside
Speaker 1: because the hawk is waiting for you. So all that
Speaker 1: fat white man in the rear velven suits and full
Speaker 1: on bullshit, I see it it. I gotta know, I
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with the My mom, my mom, yes,
Speaker 1: and I know she's on this live too. She ruined
Speaker 1: Christmas for me when I was five years old. She
Speaker 1: told me the Santa Claus was not real. She said,
Speaker 1: I buy all these me and your father. She opened
Speaker 1: up the trunk of the car. She said, this is
Speaker 1: where the presents come from. So me still being in
Speaker 1: like preschool, I went back to pre school and I
Speaker 1: was like, your parents are lying to y'all. Santa is
Speaker 1: not real. And I got in trouble. I got in trouble.
Speaker 1: I got a phone call home. The people were pissed,
Speaker 1: and my mom was like, I don't understand why my
Speaker 1: child is in trouble for telling the truth. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how I found out Santa Claus wasn't real. I
Speaker 1: just thought I should share that Santa Claus is whoever
Speaker 1: bring that check home? Exactly. I'm Santa. Mrs Clau's a
Speaker 1: couple of the elves all that, I'm all of them.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my PAMMI pant, thank you, my darling. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about this this variant. I knew you was going there.
Speaker 1: I was. I was waiting for I have to talk
Speaker 1: about the variant, the delta variant. So we got the
Speaker 1: Delta varian now, but they're predicting which one they say
Speaker 1: it's coming. Oh wait, my mom said, I was three, Sorry,
Speaker 1: which one which one they say was coming? After the
Speaker 1: delta variant. Um, there's the delta variant there's the lambda variant,
Speaker 1: and I think there's a gamma variant. There's like three
Speaker 1: of them. See, I thought they would have went from
Speaker 1: Delta to Southwest to uh yeah, all of those different variantes. Well,
Speaker 1: the crazy thing is they they're ruining the Greek alphabet
Speaker 1: for folks. The brother are adding some negative connotation. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. If they're going about the airlines Delta Varian,
Speaker 1: United Area American Airlines. If you get the spirit variant,
Speaker 1: the spirit Bearian will make you a spirit. Just understand
Speaker 1: that spirit will make you a spirit. So how are
Speaker 1: you feeling about these variants? So seriously, I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: be able to do it. I'll never tell you something
Speaker 1: I believe, and I believe the science. I have never
Speaker 1: discredited the science. I have never trusted the scientists and
Speaker 1: the way they made it political. Do I I have
Speaker 1: vaccines I've had when I was a kid, I've had vaccine.
Speaker 1: I just don't trust the weight. Every day it's a
Speaker 1: different story. So it makes me leery. And like Nicholas
Speaker 1: said earlier, I wasn't woke, and I took the vaccines
Speaker 1: because I had to in order to go to school,
Speaker 1: because my parents told me I had to, it was
Speaker 1: gonna do. But now that I'm grown and I know,
Speaker 1: and I'm watching this in real time, and a bunch
Speaker 1: of my friends who have been double vaccinated, double vaccinated
Speaker 1: are in the hospital sick right now on ventilators. I
Speaker 1: had a girlfriend who has been in hospital for more
Speaker 1: than a month, three weeks on the ventilator, and she
Speaker 1: was double vaccinated with the visor or madary, she had
Speaker 1: one of them, and she still got sick, and she
Speaker 1: got gravely ill sick. Well, I think, well, I think
Speaker 1: a couple of things. One because you brought up previous
Speaker 1: vaccinations versus what we have with this what is it
Speaker 1: called wars operation warp speed. It's a couple of things.
Speaker 1: I think. One that previous vaccinations that we've gotten, like
Speaker 1: polio and HPV, we can go down the list, chickenpox,
Speaker 1: whatever they were in we can call it development for
Speaker 1: a longer period of time. It took years for them
Speaker 1: to figure out what this you know, vaccine was when
Speaker 1: COVID first came about, and like you said, you know,
Speaker 1: Trump said operation warp speed. He had us thinking that
Speaker 1: this vaccine was developed in six months, and then later
Speaker 1: on scientists said, no, we've actually been developing this for
Speaker 1: twelve years because of m R and A. The difference, however,
Speaker 1: still is that this COVID vaccine is not actually a
Speaker 1: vaccine because I've done my research. It's it's a protein
Speaker 1: that we're being injected with. And I think that's also
Speaker 1: to why people feel like they're being misled because scientists
Speaker 1: are technically are not giving full disclosure around it. However,
Speaker 1: with all that being said, I still did get my
Speaker 1: vaccine because I've been traveling, like I just went to
Speaker 1: New Orleans last week, and I'll be very honest, I
Speaker 1: didn't wear my mask like I was supposed to, and
Speaker 1: came back. I got a COVID test two days ago
Speaker 1: and I'm negative. But I also know people that have gotten,
Speaker 1: you know, the COVID vaccine, and they currently have COVID
Speaker 1: right now. So it's kind of just like we're in
Speaker 1: a place of I don't know, and then we got
Speaker 1: these variants going on, and so it's just it's it's
Speaker 1: adding more chaos, I think, to the situation. But I
Speaker 1: would say that I think that the orange upa umpa
Speaker 1: really kind of started all this, So I agree, Lauren,
Speaker 1: I think that so much. I think so much misinformation
Speaker 1: have been placed out there that it caused people to
Speaker 1: doubt the messenger, and I felt like it became politicized.
Speaker 1: I will also say this, I think that because we're
Speaker 1: still in that emergency use authorization phase, that has caused
Speaker 1: disease and discomfort amongst a lot of people. Right I
Speaker 1: think that once it goes into full FDA approval UM,
Speaker 1: I think that some minds may change with that, but
Speaker 1: right now because it's still in that emergency use authorization. However,
Speaker 1: I do believe a pandemic as an emergency. I think
Speaker 1: that that has given some people pause. I want to
Speaker 1: say something else that you mentioned too, that there are
Speaker 1: people who are fully vaccinated. I Bobby was on early.
Speaker 1: Bobby Clifford was on earlier, and I messaged her while
Speaker 1: I was in Boston or in Massachusetts. I was actually
Speaker 1: on the Cape and we were just talking about how
Speaker 1: one particular area of the Cape had an outbreak UM
Speaker 1: and this was amongst people who had been vaccinated. So
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. It is poss supposed to be fully
Speaker 1: vaccinated with either Maderna Fiser or Johnson and Johnson and
Speaker 1: still contract. First of all, let's me go into that
Speaker 1: Johnson Johnson. I wasn't gonna bring it up. But since
Speaker 1: you said the damn name first of all, y'all knew
Speaker 1: they couldn't get baby paladed right now. So and yeah,
Speaker 1: oh it's one shot. I'm gonna be saying, yeah no,
Speaker 1: and I'm not beating up on john But Flame, you know,
Speaker 1: you know the question is who messes up baby pal
Speaker 1: But you know what, Flame, you know what happens is
Speaker 1: well you you know what I'm talking about. But we
Speaker 1: grew up with larger black women. Who would I didn't
Speaker 1: you did. I didn't want no body my family. Fan. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me let me tell you how I knew women
Speaker 1: in my I should said, excuse me, there are some
Speaker 1: women in my family who were larger. Um, and they
Speaker 1: would use baby powder, uh in the on the breast
Speaker 1: areas in places not like babies like you would on
Speaker 1: the baby right, um. So they would use it as
Speaker 1: almost like um, I won't say hygiene, but would use
Speaker 1: it to prevent you from sweating. Make people didn't just
Speaker 1: do that, nick should? I did that too. You just
Speaker 1: didn't want to sweat in certain places, so you just
Speaker 1: powdered here in between your legs, in your armpits. Yeah,
Speaker 1: under you like Thomas's English muffins. You gotta get allies
Speaker 1: hell to keep you dry. And you smell good too,
Speaker 1: So it worked. You know, you got to stay dry
Speaker 1: and you know hygiene, you smell good. Yeah, a dual purpose.
Speaker 1: I think the challenge was that's not what it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be used for. And I think that's why
Speaker 1: that talc became an issue from repeated use and because
Speaker 1: it wasn't supposed to be used for that purpose. You
Speaker 1: put it on my baby bottom. A baby's bottom is
Speaker 1: more precious than the grounut's bottom because it's more vulnerable. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I used but babies never, But babies never developed. That's
Speaker 1: that's that's why they can't figure it out. Why did
Speaker 1: women develop the cancer but babies did not? And that's
Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the challenge. And the only correlation
Speaker 1: is women were using it differently than babies were. I
Speaker 1: have two daughters. I used it on the same areas
Speaker 1: that women used their zone. It just happened to be
Speaker 1: a smaller one, a little girl one. But you and
Speaker 1: hopefully my children, you know, I didn't we didn't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I don't know. I'm telling you. I'm
Speaker 1: just the variants. And now that's why I call people
Speaker 1: come on here vaccine shame, and to think that I'm
Speaker 1: vaccine shame, I'm not. I have encouraged you all from
Speaker 1: day one to use your own man. You don't have
Speaker 1: to go to a critical race theory with me, because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you exactly how I feel. You do
Speaker 1: what works for you, and I'm going to do what
Speaker 1: works for me. We may not agree on the outcome
Speaker 1: or whatever, but I'm never gonna tell you us don't
Speaker 1: go get the vaccine. I told you to wait. I
Speaker 1: told Lauren the same thing. But I know, and I
Speaker 1: know Lauren's situation with her mom, so I understood and
Speaker 1: her traveling with her other job, just like I knew
Speaker 1: you had to do it and you were pro military,
Speaker 1: So you did it because you want to go visit
Speaker 1: with your mom. I get that. Even if I want
Speaker 1: to go visit my mom, I ain't taking a vaccination.
Speaker 1: I spread how I asked some lights ships in me back.
Speaker 1: But uh, that is I've never came on to vaccine
Speaker 1: shame anyone. You have to do what works for you.
Speaker 1: The difference is a lot of people are doing it
Speaker 1: because they are under peer pressures. See that they think
Speaker 1: peer pressure is only for teens. Everybody's saying, you need
Speaker 1: to get it, you need to get it, you need
Speaker 1: to get you need to do what works for you.
Speaker 1: And my formula has worked for me for fifteen months,
Speaker 1: and if I gotta go fifteen more months, good good,
Speaker 1: stack up on lights off. Well. I think that the
Speaker 1: flip side to that too, is that you also have
Speaker 1: these Republicans and um TV news anchors like the Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity's and those sort of folks that are creating all
Speaker 1: of this you know, doubt around the vaccine. But these
Speaker 1: are the same individuals that have been vaccinated and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see that some people are taking legal
Speaker 1: action against them now. But those types of folks who
Speaker 1: are only adding into the confusion around what's going on.
Speaker 1: Because I whole heartedly agree with flame, like, this is
Speaker 1: your choice. You have to figure out what is best
Speaker 1: for you. But those people that are just you know,
Speaker 1: trying to throw negative energy into what you know, people
Speaker 1: are trying to figure out that's not that's so disingenuous
Speaker 1: and just unnecessary. Go do something better else with your time.
Speaker 1: Seriously so. But anyway, and those are the same people
Speaker 1: that have been vaccinated. And the latest breaking news with vaccinations,
Speaker 1: New York City and California will require workers to be
Speaker 1: vaccinated or tested um. The mandate extends to municipal employees
Speaker 1: in New York City, including police officers and teachers, and
Speaker 1: state and healthcare workers in California. Yeah, we knew that
Speaker 1: was coming. I mean California, especially l A County. Our
Speaker 1: positivity rate is it is crazy. I literally got the
Speaker 1: stats yesterday that our positivity rate as of Sunday was
Speaker 1: like five two and back in June it was only
Speaker 1: zero point four. And we've gotten over three thousand new
Speaker 1: cases per day. We've gotten you know, over six people
Speaker 1: being hospitalized. So it's it's a lot going on over here.
Speaker 1: It's a little crazy. I've just gotten alert that the
Speaker 1: SANTIS is pushing now for the Florida to be vaccinated
Speaker 1: for people vaccinating. Wait, wait a minute, this is the
Speaker 1: same governor. Hold on because I'm gonna back it up
Speaker 1: a little taste. Nick you now you verifying me if
Speaker 1: I'm around in my best hashik voys, bitch, I got receipts.
Speaker 1: Ain't he the same one? Who told them not to
Speaker 1: get backinated and they don't have to wear masks. They
Speaker 1: didn't have the social distance because it was gonna go
Speaker 1: away because he was so on Trump. I'm asking for
Speaker 1: real because y'all fail for the Oki dough and Florida's
Speaker 1: numbers are outrageous right now and they still have a
Speaker 1: massive concerts and woo, no masks, no social distances, Florida,
Speaker 1: yeaall play too much floors. Just a special state. Same
Speaker 1: thing with our governor. Governor Hutchinson has been touring the
Speaker 1: state pushing vaccination. But we're the same state that does
Speaker 1: not have a mask mandate or a mask requirement, so
Speaker 1: you cannot require me to wear a mask. And in fact, Nickolas,
Speaker 1: then you tell me that Arkansas shames you for wearing
Speaker 1: a mask. Absolutely absolutely, in my best rapper voice, I
Speaker 1: wish you, nigga would I wish somebody would tell me
Speaker 1: to take my man skull um. So yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just uh and and you know what, what what do
Speaker 1: you say? You just keep on going and keep on
Speaker 1: and you keep on pushing. You know, let me let me,
Speaker 1: let me, let me put the word out to Florida,
Speaker 1: because I'm sorry, ain't gonna cut you out Florida. Andrew
Speaker 1: Gilling only got caught with his pants down. His politics
Speaker 1: were fantastic. At least you all now know who he is.
Speaker 1: To state of Tampa, the city of Tampa already knew
Speaker 1: who he was. Let me tell you something, baby, y'all
Speaker 1: need to rethink who y'all putting in position of power
Speaker 1: in Florida, because that man blatantly and openly does not
Speaker 1: care about the citizens of Florida, the ones that are
Speaker 1: just regular people. If you're not part of that one percent,
Speaker 1: Trump looking rich, rich, rich, it's looking like you don't
Speaker 1: give a damn and Florida only off a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars for family if you don't. Well. I
Speaker 1: think the other thing too we can always look at
Speaker 1: is that the Santis is coming up upon an election.
Speaker 1: Florida's about to have an election, and there's some past
Speaker 1: beloved governors that are now coming out to say that
Speaker 1: they're going to possibly run against him. So I think
Speaker 1: that it's very convenient that not all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: he's changing this narrative, Oh, we should vaccinate people, and
Speaker 1: I care about you know, the commonwealth, and all these
Speaker 1: different things. So saying that to say, I hope Florida
Speaker 1: Floridians aren't naive or easily manipulated in this instance, and
Speaker 1: then they voke appropriately. I gotta look at you from
Speaker 1: the second being nice. I'm I'm the end to the
Speaker 1: yang of the Florida debate. Okay, I'm I'm giving the
Speaker 1: nice side or the optimistic side, and my own here
Speaker 1: he's confused to who round the santasy is if you
Speaker 1: have children and you watch SpongeBob SpongeBob SquarePants, just look
Speaker 1: at Patrick the Starfish, same person just gonna you know,
Speaker 1: he's getting his own show, Patrick Starr. I just saw that.
Speaker 1: You know what, you guys, you Flame your touch on that.
Speaker 1: I do think it's worth mentioning. They just found the
Speaker 1: body body or the remains of the person that they
Speaker 1: were missing in the condo collapse. And again we're talking
Speaker 1: about softly in Florida, um and the what they have
Speaker 1: not been able to account for. I heard one reporter asking,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a very good question, the accounting
Speaker 1: for those who live in the building. But what happens
Speaker 1: if I were visiting Flame and I'm not registered there
Speaker 1: and I have Yeah, I never thought about that. I
Speaker 1: was interesting that I would still see I would still
Speaker 1: sue absolutely. I don't care if my even you're still
Speaker 1: so I wasn't even there so much as do you
Speaker 1: even are you looking for me? You get what I'm
Speaker 1: saying that because you didn't know that I was at Flames?
Speaker 1: Are you even looking for Nick there? Yeah? You're like, well,
Speaker 1: we found Flame, who lives in the house. We had
Speaker 1: no reason to believe that Flame would have a visitor.
Speaker 1: What if I was what if I was having a
Speaker 1: meal or a gentleman, a gentleman or a general woman
Speaker 1: called and y'all didn't know nothing about it? What about?
Speaker 1: First of all, let me tell you something that billing
Speaker 1: was built with a lot of Jewish people did. Jewish
Speaker 1: people do not play about money. Let me let me,
Speaker 1: let me, let me put the camera on for me
Speaker 1: for this. Jewish people play no games about money. Understand
Speaker 1: me that they are going to break Florida when this
Speaker 1: is done because Jewish people plays no games about money.
Speaker 1: So all that golf and the nigga was doing at
Speaker 1: Marla Ago, Yeah, nigga, you better get here, get your
Speaker 1: golf gaming because it's about to be over. Because Jews
Speaker 1: do not play by money. At all. Well, Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: only other thing I want to make sure we mentioned
Speaker 1: because I do think it's important, Uh, the space race.
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty cool that we had two people
Speaker 1: live out their childhood dreams that many young people have
Speaker 1: about going into space, both Jeff Bezos and Sir Richard Branson. Uh.
Speaker 1: And Jeff Bezos, I just want to give a special
Speaker 1: shout out because when he when he landed as an American,
Speaker 1: he landed and he thanked everyone who has been supporting
Speaker 1: Amazon over the years because you all made it possible.
Speaker 1: And he thanked everyone who shops at Amazon. And it's
Speaker 1: one of those things where you know, I've had this
Speaker 1: conversation with friends. I have friends flame we will sit
Speaker 1: there and shop on Amazon before they go to the
Speaker 1: corner store. So they have been part of this journey
Speaker 1: and it's it's an avenue that will eventually open up,
Speaker 1: you know, space travel commercially. So I just thought that
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. I say this to Jeff Bezos. I
Speaker 1: wanted to hear my name mentioned personally because during the
Speaker 1: pandemic I was Amazon ordering Queen Baby. I love Amazon,
Speaker 1: and I loved his hustle because what he has done,
Speaker 1: I don't know where Richard Branson's motive was, but Jeff
Speaker 1: Bezos is going to capitalize off of this. So a
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna want to go to space
Speaker 1: for five minutes for a million dollars. Make your money,
Speaker 1: Jeff be You know, he gave up that sixty billion
Speaker 1: to the ex wife. He said, I gotta get my
Speaker 1: he gotta recoup him. And then when he and then
Speaker 1: when he came down, he gave the grants to both
Speaker 1: Jose Andrea's and Van Jones. You know, one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. What did you have to did
Speaker 1: you have? He gave a hundred million dollars to Ben Jones.
Speaker 1: That was cool. Anyway, though, let me ask the question,
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of that Kim Kardashi ain't gonna get.
Speaker 1: Oh that's how rumors get started. Now they were supposed
Speaker 1: to being kicking a bobo. She went from uh, I
Speaker 1: may not know Karani, but I know crazy. She went
Speaker 1: back when she went from crazy to karate because baby,
Speaker 1: she was married to crazy, but now she got Karate.
Speaker 1: Back then, but well, she was just in Atlanta supporting
Speaker 1: her soon to be ex husband with all of the kids.
Speaker 1: So um. But speaking of space though, Um, I'm seiging
Speaker 1: to talk about space. Jam. I eat Lebron James because
Speaker 1: we do want to congratulate Lebron. He's the first athlete
Speaker 1: to officially reach, you know, to earn I should say,
Speaker 1: a billion dollars. So congratulations to Lebron. I think he
Speaker 1: does amazing work for his sport. Not his endorsements, No,
Speaker 1: it's everything together that includes the endorsements and everything else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he has officially earned a billion dollars. I'm very
Speaker 1: very happy for him. You know, he has a beautiful
Speaker 1: school in um in Akron, Ohio. He has um you know,
Speaker 1: he's actually started housing for some of those kids that
Speaker 1: kind of like that are coming to the school. So
Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of philanthropic things. And he feeds families.
Speaker 1: He he provides positions for single mothers. He makes sure
Speaker 1: those kids eat, even the parents eat. Lebron James is
Speaker 1: a great giverback give backer is that a word. He's
Speaker 1: a givebacker. So I love Lebron James. I don't care
Speaker 1: what they think about him. I don't care what they
Speaker 1: think about him on a professional level as far as
Speaker 1: his game and none of that. I don't even watch
Speaker 1: that much of his game. I just like to watch
Speaker 1: and walk down bull legs across the field. But I
Speaker 1: love what he does for people and what he does
Speaker 1: for his community because he never forget where he came
Speaker 1: from and the situation that his life was before he
Speaker 1: became this Lebron James. I'm not gonna lie to you
Speaker 1: when like Lebron played for like Cleveland and Miami and
Speaker 1: other teams, because y'all know, I'm an avid Lakers fan.
Speaker 1: Um I did not like him, and then he came
Speaker 1: to l A and then you know, I kind of
Speaker 1: jumped on his bandwagon and solid things that he's doing.
Speaker 1: So I'm a newly flound Lebron James fans almost came
Speaker 1: from around table girl you almost says. I used to
Speaker 1: really feel like, you know, he would like kind of
Speaker 1: wine and complaining games like, oh, you know, get up
Speaker 1: off the floor, it's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 1: But then watching him play so much for the Lakers,
Speaker 1: like I would realize that, you know, he was this
Speaker 1: big broad, you know, burly man, and you know we
Speaker 1: talked about other athletes like the Simone Biles and you know,
Speaker 1: Naiomi Osaka, but you know, he doesn't necessarily get treated
Speaker 1: the same way either on the court. You know, he
Speaker 1: doesn't get some of the calls that he's supposed to get.
Speaker 1: They don't play fairly when it comes to him because
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, he's so big, Like you know, we
Speaker 1: can't you know. So I am a newly found Lebron
Speaker 1: James fan. Over the past with three years that he's
Speaker 1: been a part of the John mcenrote through a temper
Speaker 1: tantrum every yet damn week on on TV. So guess
Speaker 1: what go to hell? True? So yes, congrats to Lebron
Speaker 1: James for sure. Nick, what you think about Lebron because
Speaker 1: you know, I love don't don't think I think one
Speaker 1: of the things that But I told you I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of his show, Um the Shop. I think it's
Speaker 1: just fantastic what he does when and I just like
Speaker 1: the format and all of that. But Lebron is the
Speaker 1: first while still actively playing and what does one of
Speaker 1: the caveats people see? So um flame before we go,
Speaker 1: because the last time we were all together, your birthday
Speaker 1: birthday had not come. Since then, you've had a birthday,
Speaker 1: and you and I were also talking about j Lo.
