I saw that, Okay, I had no idea, 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.200 and so I was watching them on the Breakfast Club 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:06.960 and she was basically doing a lot of the talking 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.080 and what's just sitting there. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:09.760 She's not me. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:14.360 Talked, but like she's like she seems like his handler. Yeah, 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.520 that's at least that's what the internet is saying.

And listen, baby, 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.000 that is a commercial for witchcraft. If that's what she's saying, 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.760 you almost schizophrenic. If you have a schizophrenic husband partner, 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.120 hit up Kishk for all the witchcraft spells so that 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.000 your man can thrive like Gucci Man.

Witches make your life better. And this 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.800 is the commercial if you're a witch, if you're a 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.440 man who thinks you hate witches, but maybe not, look 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.600 at literally, Gucci Man has glowed up.

I 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.320 never thought that. I never never thought would be fine. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.600 And he's fine. Those new teeth and whatever spells she's 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.880 putting on him work because women are witches. All of 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.600 us are witches.

So I got a co signer, 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.400 and I'm really using that I owned it and I 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.280 got a co signer, So maybe there's that maybe, but 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:40.880 you're your husband also. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.439 But that's sad though, because that like we as women 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:48.719 need a male co signer to be okay with our horness, 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.040 Like we need a nigga to sign off on us 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.480 in order to validate that we're worthy, not you in particular, 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.520 but like validate that we're worthy enough, because I think 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.480 I see a lot of women hide behind their husbands 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.240 as like, well i'm married, well on this, and again, 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.360 not speaking about you, but I understand that there probably 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.400 is some sort of bravado or safety in saying that. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.400 I think it's because men like to say that's why 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.760 you're single, that's why you're a baby mom. And so 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.920 when you there's a level of if you're a horror 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.160 or a slug, like the clip said, marry the horror 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.480 and they're like never, even though nobody would marry them anyway, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.160 there's a level of you're not worthy and that you're 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.600 just you're discardible because you are a whore or you've 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.040 been ran through. You've been ran through, and so the 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.280 like the comeback is like, well, actually somebody does love me, 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:36.679 Fuck you my mom. 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.640 It's just so funny because generally in Halloween just want 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.080 to dress like whores, even even the even the bitches 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.120 that are calling other bitches whores on Halloween. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.360 It's okay to be a whore.

Horror. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:31.240 Today's episode is all the types of horres Christian horror, 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:35.760 a married horror, a single hoore, I getting paid horror, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.040 just kind of like Bubblegump, shrimps. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.480 Pat and leather wore, Jewish horror. They got those two. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.400 Every type of horror, Buddhist horror, all of them. They 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:50.400 got nonprofit horse for profit like a Christian horror, got 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:55.160 scientists horse, all of them. Mother horrors, father horse, sister horse, 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.080 Auntie horse. There's lots of daddy horse, a lot of those. 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.959 They started it. I would like to say the one 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.920 thing about the patriarchy is that they founded Horus Hortem. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.720 They did, and then they try to thank you to 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.360 our forefathers. I would like to say thank you to 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:15.840 our thank you Washington the original whore. Actually, I would 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:20.160 believe maybe Jesus is the original horse. Old girl here, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.600 oh girl, he did. He hung out with the tax 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.839 the tax collectors, and the Mary, not the good one, 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:31.199 the Magullent, the Magdalene, the Magdalen. He hung out with 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.080 the virgin. Wait that was his mama, right, Wait. He 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:38.400 hung out with the prostitutes and the street walkers. Jesus 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.840 was the one of the founding fathers of the hortem, 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.960 like he founded the horse. He was a whore, he 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.880 founded them, but he was a good horror because he 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.880 protected the horse. He was a friend of Mary Magdalen. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.640 And everybody likes to call women jezebels, but obviously Jesus 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.560 loved us. So there's that. I just need to break 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.400 it down the history of horedem for you guys, just 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.640 in case every buddy was wondering where we came from 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:06.520 and why we're going hard on horedom because it doesn't exist. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.240 I was thinking about, like the word which and how 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.000 it is associated with rituals. And the other day I 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.960 went to church with my mom, You did, I did. Yes, 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.000 I went to church with my mom and I didn't 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.560 know that it was baptism day. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.680 So I was there and I rooms with me too, 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:25.520 and so there's. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.720 Like a big pool of water in the middle of 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.800 the Uh. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.720 It's I guess it is a church. It's a building 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.360 that they made a church whatever the room and I 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.960 was like and then I'm like seeing all these people. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.400 They're so excited, they're about to get baptized and they're 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.480 getting in the water and they're dipping their heads in, 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.960 and I'm like, isn't this some shit? Not that did 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.920 you start melting now? I was just like, isn't this 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:56.040 some shit? Look at this ritual? This is pretty ritualistic. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.120 We're literally dipping our heads in the water in the middle. 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.760 And then I re I want to do it? Oh God? 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.560 I was like, do you? I was like, are you 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.400 ready to give your life to Jesus Christ? Were you 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.040 asked your ten year old? Because that's what they're doing, 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.120 that is what the baptism is. Were there other kids 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:12.400 doing it? 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:12.680 Yeah? 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:14.480 The kids, and like, you know, she just want to 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.080 get wet and like get and she loves getting in 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:17.160 the water with her clothes. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.160 So she's like, sounds like fun. So I was like, I. 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.320 Literally was like, are you ready to give your life 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.280 Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior? 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:28.280 And she was like yeah, sure, mom? Whatever am I 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.280 gonna get ayry. I was like, for real, or you 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:35.120 want to get in the water. I was like, I 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.040 was like, for because it so, I'm like, this is serious. 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:38.840 This is not for fake, This is not for play, 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.280 This is not for play, Like, this is not just 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:43.000 a game. Girl. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.720 I was like, how about we come here a few 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.760 more times? Her first time going, and then you decide no, 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:51.600 it's not. But it's like, you know, I was like, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:52.880 how about we come here a few more times and 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.120 then you decide if you want to give your life 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:54.720 to Jesus Christ. 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.640 And she was like, okay, fine, Mom, I'll read the 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.440 Bible when I get home. I'll figure it out. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.800 But I was just like, I just find it so 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.080 funny when you know, like when people pick and choose 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:11.720 the type, like what what ritual is acceptable? What is unacceptable, 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:17.880 and villainize and demonize these things using the elements to 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.560 bless yourself, using the elements to choose your God, whatever 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.080 that means to you. And I just think that we 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.880 all have to just stop fucking judging ourselves and judging 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:30.200 other people. And that was my that was my takeaway 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:31.680 from that experience because I was just I. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.120 Literally was a giggling inside. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.280 I was like, this is so because at the church too, 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.240 they've because I've been a few times, they talk they've 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:39.480 sometimes they talk about like. 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.000 You don't need crystals, you don't need Yeah, I would 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:44.440 walk out. That would be my key to be like 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.480 I'm out. That's why I don't go to church because 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.320 every time it gets like hip, it like it gets weird. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.760 I just like I totally shut down because I'm like, 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:56.520 what the fuck are we talking about here? Like homophobia, politics, 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:01.560 crystals that God created natural rest versus a mineral sage, 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:03.320 you know, Like, well, I think. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:07.400 That Like what I've gotten from it is a lot 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:14.359 of discomfort for sure, but also the realization that like 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:19.320 a I can choose the things that really like speak 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.320 to my spirit and to my soul. And when I 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.720 am when I've gone like I always do get a message. 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.760 I always do receive something like something I needed to hear, 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.200 something that needed to like come through for me. So 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.480 I understand that piece of it, but I am still 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.760 very uncomfortable throughout moments. 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:40.399 Specifically the music. You know, the music is hard for 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.600 me because I talk to the music. That's my favorite part. No, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.080 if I go to church, I'll go for the music 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:45.560 and then I'll. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.200 Know because it's a specific music that you that makes 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:49.920 you feel comfortable. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:50.160 Right. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.159 The woman at the church, one of the main singers, 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:55.520 is white. Can you sing it? 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:55.600 Like? 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.119 Can you do me? Can you do like it? 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:57.720 Like? 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:58.080 No? 0:17:58.320 --> 0:17:58.639 Please? 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.760 I want to hear it, Like why don't you what song? 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.280 Hate you hate? Which one? It's not about the song, 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.240 it's the deliverer of the song. It's a white woman 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.639 like soul. She's the lead singer of a black choir. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.280 It's oh, it's like a gospel yeah. And she's not 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:13.000 always that. 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.760 She's not always in that position, but for the most 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:16.920 part when I go, she is. 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.800 And it's like it like throws me off. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.280 Not that like white people can't sing praise music, but 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.439 it's just like for me, I really what really like 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.320 feeds me? And and that and that really is what 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.280 reminds me of my time in church with my dad, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.159 because we always went to black churches and that was 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.159 like the most that's what like, it was exciting for me, 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.200 and that was like the biggest takeaway. 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.800 The thing I remember the most was the music. 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.560 And how it inspired people and ignited them and all 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:48.280 those things. So that at this church in particular. The 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.359 music sometimes throws me off, but the message is always 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.520 really good. And that's why I've continued to go with 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.800 my mom and Irine because I'm like, I want I 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.919 want her to know all the options, you know, Like 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.159 she's going to learn the things that I'm teaching her, 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.840 She's going to learn what's there, and I want her 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.080 to have a choice and not just like I'm not 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:08.159 bringing her here and being. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:09.840 Like Jesus is your Lord and savior. 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.600 I'm really asking her like question herself, like why why 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:13.440 do you want to get in my water? 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:13.720 Girl? 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:15.640 Do you have you read? 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.040 And and and and on top of that, these are 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.080 things I haven't even shared with you. 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.840 But I've been reading the Bible because I have never 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.879 read it literally when you went to Notre Dame, they 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:28.840 didn't require you in religion because I had to read it. 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.000 I read it, Okay, I read it, But do I 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.280 remember anything from it? No? Absolutely not. 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.119 So as an adult reading it, I'm like, oh, some 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:37.440 of these stories are actually very lit. 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.000 I like, I understand share which one is lit? 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:48.800 Genesis is a pretty long one, okay, And and and 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:50.240 some of them and obviously when you go to the 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.680 when they go to church, they you know, they bring. 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.200
