Speaker 4: I love you more? And I love you back. I'm
Speaker 4: good today.
Speaker 3: My energy a little bit low, even after many cups
Speaker 3: of coffee, but I'm making it through.
Speaker 1: For real. It's one of them days, Just one of
Speaker 1: them days. I've been doing seventy five hard and I'm
Speaker 1: on day eight.
Speaker 4: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: It's a workout program? Well, it's not necessarily a workout
Speaker 1: program because they don't give you no workouts to do.
Speaker 1: But what you gotta do is two forty five minute
Speaker 1: workouts a day, drink a gallon of water every day.
Speaker 1: You gotta pick a book and read ten pages of
Speaker 1: that book every night, and you gotta oh and no alcohol.
Speaker 4: Look, that's the easiest one for me. What else is it? Oh?
Speaker 4: That's easy. We would be trying to read that night.
Speaker 1: Workouts to day has not been easy for me.
Speaker 3: But I feel like when I okay, I have not
Speaker 3: work out worked out in about three weeks. First of all,
Speaker 3: not I did this weekend. Like when I say workout,
Speaker 3: I mean like every day, right, some type of something.
Speaker 3: I haven't been consistent the last couple weeks because I
Speaker 3: couldn't find time for real, I gotta But that's regular, right,
Speaker 3: because I know this is hard.
Speaker 1: That's why I was seventy five hard.
Speaker 3: But when I go to the gym, I do forty
Speaker 3: five minutes of cardio and forty five minutes of like
Speaker 3: calisthetics or waits already, like just in one setting, though
Speaker 3: I don't split it up.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I guess you could do that if
Speaker 1: you wanted to do it that way. But seven days
Speaker 1: a week, no days off, Oh, seven days a week,
Speaker 1: seventy five days straight.
Speaker 3: Seven days a week for seventy five days straight. Yes, man,
Speaker 3: that's too much time. That's three months almost right, yeah, girl.
Speaker 1: No, it's like two and a half months. But the
Speaker 1: reason I wanted to do it is because my friend
Speaker 1: Diana did it, and I mean she lost fifteen pounds,
Speaker 1: but all right. She also like, because you just one
Speaker 1: of the workouts is supposed to be outside m H.
Speaker 1: So you do a forty five minutes outside and forty
Speaker 1: five minutes. You could do both outside if you want,
Speaker 1: but one of them is supposed to be outside, you know.
Speaker 1: But like when it was raining and it was cold,
Speaker 1: I didn't go outside.
Speaker 4: I'm just like, what walking running walking?
Speaker 1: I didn't like whatever you like, you know, whatever you
Speaker 1: want the workout to be. And now I'm on day eight,
Speaker 1: and the hardest part for me has been so getting
Speaker 1: those workouts in on the weekend has, like my busy days,
Speaker 1: has proven kind of difficult. I was in the gym
Speaker 1: Saturday night after a party at eleven thirty, trying to
Speaker 1: get it in before twelve o'clock.
Speaker 3: Made you be dedicated when you locked it, I'd be
Speaker 3: like bullshitting with life.
Speaker 4: Okay, I gotta get like you.
Speaker 3: Y'all tell me, ay be doing some fucking donkey kicks
Speaker 3: randomly somewhere.
Speaker 4: I got video bitch to prove it.
Speaker 1: That bitch gonna get it in when she lock in.
Speaker 1: But me, okay, so yeah, I'm super locking right now.
Speaker 1: But that's that's all. But the hardest part is the
Speaker 1: no alcohol.
Speaker 3: That is that would be that I don't drink like that.
Speaker 3: So that's the easiest part for me.
Speaker 1: I was at a party everybody and it seems like
Speaker 1: when you tell people you're not drinking, everybody's like challenge
Speaker 1: accept it. Now they think it's their personal challenge to
Speaker 1: get you to drink. You know, like just one shot. Damn,
Speaker 1: you can't do one shot with me. You can't do
Speaker 1: one shot with me. No, I can't do one shot
Speaker 1: with you, So don't ask me until June. But I
Speaker 1: feel good. I'm all happy and shit.
Speaker 3: I like saying no. I don't got no problem telling people, no, pass.
Speaker 1: Me some weed. Ain't know seventy five hard, don't say
Speaker 1: nothing about weed?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Mean something?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: I have that too, But then there's no sugar, So.
Speaker 3: No sugar for seventy five days. Now that might be
Speaker 3: my struggle area as well. But I kind of got
Speaker 3: to do something like that right now because I just
Speaker 3: got to kick like the bread, the sugar.
Speaker 4: That's like my main problems issues in life. And I
Speaker 4: feel like I've been doing really well with no bread.
Speaker 1: I open out candies and shit, let'spress of Martini. Hate
Speaker 1: to see me coming.
Speaker 4: Okay, Shane, we gonna get our life.
Speaker 1: But yeah, what you do this weekend?
Speaker 4: What did I do this weekend?
Speaker 3: Do?
Speaker 4: Did I do anything?
Speaker 3: I didn't do anything spectacular this weekend. I went to Costco,
Speaker 3: I went to TJ Max, I went to Joanne Fabric.
Speaker 3: They're having a close out sale. I bought a lot
Speaker 3: of beads because I'm about to make me my waist
Speaker 3: beads again.
Speaker 4: I used to wear. Was I make you some?
Speaker 1: Because I did?
Speaker 4: I get some gold beads I might have. I gotta
Speaker 4: look at see.
Speaker 3: I bought like fifty dollars worth a bunch of shit, like,
Speaker 3: because that was fifty dollars with shit. Seventy percent off
Speaker 3: is a whole lot of shit. But I feel like
Speaker 3: when I was making and using and using my waistbeads consistently,
Speaker 3: like that shit really make you push it away from
Speaker 3: the table for real. If you actually get them to
Speaker 3: where they like tight on your stomach, bitch, you're gonna
Speaker 3: stop eating so pulling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I got.
Speaker 4: To get back to my waist beads. And you look
Speaker 4: sexy with him on?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? They are sexy? Uh?
Speaker 4: Is that all I did this weekend? That's it?
Speaker 1: GIRLND do shit. It was my guy's birthday. Oh I
Speaker 1: know we had they were too already.
Speaker 4: What the fuck?
Speaker 1: That baby is too already? Ain't that crazy that I know.
Speaker 1: And he's so sweet. He's so like I don't know,
Speaker 1: like my god daughter, she's sweet and she's so cute
Speaker 1: and she's so girly. Right, but he is like so lovable,
Speaker 1: like he always be like I love you and want
Speaker 1: to kiss when he see you and stuff like that
Speaker 1: and want to hug. I loved him. Babies, man, their
Speaker 1: babies make me them. The babies I didn't have, you know.
Speaker 1: So that was and I got his name put on
Speaker 1: the back of my shirt like so it was a
Speaker 1: basketball theme party and I got like this little bulls
Speaker 1: crop top and then I had his name and put
Speaker 1: two on the back like a back like a jersey.
Speaker 1: It was so but we had fun. We had good time,
Speaker 1: and it turned into the whole party, you know how
Speaker 1: they always ye so and I did not drink. And
Speaker 1: I did not drink the whole time. I'm so proud
Speaker 1: of me because you know I can't do that. I'll
Speaker 1: be the main one, like shots everybody for the two
Speaker 1: year old.
Speaker 4: He was one of the kids this weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was at the kiddie table, not drinking. Let's
Speaker 1: get into sense.
Speaker 4: There's a lot going on in the world.
Speaker 3: Of politics and just America. So people are so concerned
Speaker 3: about these tariffs. What do you think about the tariffs
Speaker 3: that are being imposed on other nations?
Speaker 4: I understand them. What's your take on them?
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. I feel like, you know
Speaker 1: some of the stuff. I'm looking at it, like, why
Speaker 1: are we paying y'all so much? And y'all ain't paying
Speaker 1: a ship? You know, that's point. So that's one of
Speaker 1: the points. Yeah, I'm okay with that. But however, Comma,
Speaker 1: I'm very concerned about the tariffs between China and America
Speaker 1: because I work in the industry. I mean a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of us. We rely heavily on Chinese imports
Speaker 1: and with the hair business and my weave girlies. How
Speaker 1: much is these bundles gonna be in the coming months
Speaker 1: when these terrorfts are applied?
Speaker 3: You know, y'all can hit me up. I got a
Speaker 3: surplus coming in. I put my water in early. I
Speaker 3: have a surplus.
Speaker 1: Okay, just.
Speaker 4: Bundle during a zombie, right.
Speaker 1: I don't want Indian hair.
Speaker 4: Though, that's the best hair, like, Okay.
Speaker 3: I visited China when I was looking to start holiday hair,
Speaker 3: which will happen in one of these days. I went
Speaker 3: to China and I saw these people smoke cigarettes. You here,
Speaker 3: that shit is on the fucking floor, on the ground.
Speaker 3: The vendor I use for India, we FaceTime like I
Speaker 3: can see their facility, you know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 3: haven't actually went to India to visit, but I went
Speaker 3: and went to several places in China. So I get
Speaker 3: my frontals and shit from a place I visited in China.
Speaker 3: But other than that, that should be trash anyway, It
Speaker 3: really do be trash, and a lot of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. But everybody can't afford six and seven
Speaker 1: hundred dollars bundles, you know.
Speaker 3: Well that's the mouth that people consider the like, Okay,
Speaker 3: the retailer. The retailers are the ones that's causing your
Speaker 3: bundles to be two three hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: And imagine not how much their opinion.
Speaker 1: How much these other vendors are gonna go up knowing
Speaker 1: that these Chinese imports are this much. So now y'all
Speaker 1: ruling I gonna come to us. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: take the price up. We just don't have to see
Speaker 1: how it play. But you know, everybody, like I definitely
Speaker 1: service the girl who has kids. Who is a single
Speaker 1: mom who doesn't have that kind of money to invest
Speaker 1: in a hairstyle. You know, I have those clients and
Speaker 1: I care about them, and we're gonna have to do
Speaker 1: your hair, and who want to sell person during the summer,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to get braids and then guess what,
Speaker 1: I don't do those.
Speaker 3: So on a grand scheme of things, right, our hair
Speaker 3: should be the least of our worries when it comes
Speaker 3: to this thing, right, I do take.
Speaker 1: You to me for me. That's how I earn my money.
Speaker 1: So that can't be the least of the words for me,
Speaker 1: and it should not be the least of the words
Speaker 1: for y'all because I need y'all to still come.
Speaker 4: I take into consideration that, right.
Speaker 3: And I also think about how Asian restaurants, Asian hair stores,
Speaker 3: and how they've always been implanted in the black communities
Speaker 3: and they send they don't invest in the communities that
Speaker 3: they're in and the people that they service and who
Speaker 3: frequent their establishments, and they send out their money home.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's a problem too.
Speaker 3: If we want to start a hair company, they're gonna
Speaker 3: already charge if we excuse me, not a hair company.
Speaker 3: If we want to start a beauty supply store. Black
Speaker 3: people have always been trying to start beauty supply stores
Speaker 3: and they're hardly ever successful because they have a monopoly
Speaker 3: on that industry. What if we actually started manufacturing some
Speaker 3: of that stuff ourselves over here?
Speaker 4: You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: This is what This is what Trump is trying to
Speaker 3: get business owners, big small companies, little companies, big corporations
Speaker 3: to try and bring back that that that industrialization back
Speaker 3: to America as opposed to us always having to go
Speaker 3: outside of our country for everything because because there was
Speaker 3: a time where America things you would see things made
Speaker 3: in America. Now everything is made in China, made in Vietnam,
Speaker 3: made in Taiwan. You see what I'm saying. So he
Speaker 3: wants to try to bring that ship back to America.
Speaker 3: And this is kind of how.
Speaker 1: You go working in places. Though Americans don't want to
Speaker 1: work in in places. Are not trying to work in
Speaker 1: No factory.
Speaker 4: People work in factories.
Speaker 1: Now what we what are we I'm saying? But they're Americans.
Speaker 1: Most Americans aren't trying to be factory workers.
Speaker 4: Girl. I feel like, yes we are.
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of people would do those jobs,
Speaker 3: but they were. They think about Detroit, right, think about
Speaker 3: places like India. What's it where Michael Jackson was born at? Gary, Indiana?
Speaker 4: Have you ever been to Gary?
Speaker 1: Why would I go there?
Speaker 4: Gary?
Speaker 3: I mean, I've been because I wish it wasn't I
Speaker 3: want to go visit Michael Jackson's home that he grew
Speaker 3: up in Gary, Indiana?
Speaker 1: You went specifically for that.
Speaker 4: I went to Chicago and we caught the train. It's
Speaker 4: only like twenty minutes to Gary.
Speaker 1: Gar folks, If y'all listening, I'm just saying it ain't
Speaker 1: like you know, so we were.
Speaker 3: You know, it used to be a booming city for
Speaker 3: black people, in particular, because when we talk about black jobs,
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just let's just be honest. Those are
Speaker 3: some of the things that black people have been doing
Speaker 3: in America. And black people were feeding their families for
Speaker 3: a very long time. On the car industry, all these
Speaker 3: different industries that eventually got taken from this country and
Speaker 3: sent overseas. Right, So we were doing it at one point.
Speaker 3: We don't do it because somebody else is doing it
Speaker 3: for us. If we no longer have that option, thing's
Speaker 3: gonna have to change. I don't see a problem with
Speaker 3: taxing Canada. Canada whole existence depends on America. If we
Speaker 3: tax them more on the things that they're sinning here
Speaker 3: that that doesn't it doesn't just hurt America, it really
Speaker 3: hurts their industry. And all Trump is trying to do
Speaker 3: is get people to stop having drugs come into the country.
Speaker 4: That's really how this shit started. So this is like
Speaker 4: retaliation because I'm not helping us manage.
Speaker 1: Feeling like America is trying to absorb Canada because other resources.
Speaker 4: I mean that America got natural resources as well. You
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But we we are dealing with We are living in
Speaker 3: a country where these people are conquerors.
Speaker 4: We're dealing with the worst of the worst.
Speaker 3: They've been expelled from Europe and tell America how fucking
Speaker 3: years ago this is what we're dealing with. But I
Speaker 3: need people to realize this is our country too, this
Speaker 3: is our country, Like we gotta support it. We can't
Speaker 3: be online cheering the fucking president of China on like
Speaker 3: that shit is weird to me.
Speaker 4: We here, this is where our children are. You know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You gotta so support your country on some things. Okay,
Speaker 3: I don't support this country on the fucking war in Palestine.
Speaker 4: I don't support that shit.
Speaker 3: I don't like that children being murdered, and I don't
Speaker 3: feel like enough people are able to even talk about
Speaker 3: it without being called anti Semitic. So that shit is
Speaker 3: weird as hell to me. That's the only thing I
Speaker 3: don't support. But rebuilding America for that shit.
Speaker 1: If America can be great for the first time, I'm
Speaker 1: with it, you know, I'm always with that. But I
Speaker 1: am not with these bundles going up.
Speaker 4: Hit me up, curly, what's going on this time? To
Speaker 4: get holiday hair popping? Shit?
Speaker 3: Zombie upopped? The lips happened. I got the bundles, bitch,
Speaker 3: we're gonna be the only ones a weave stow hair
Speaker 3: stove popping?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: What else we got going on? Y'all?
Speaker 3: That was our politic political rant for a quick second.
Speaker 1: So Gail King took her ask to space, y'all. I
Speaker 1: don't know if y'all saw that, but there was a
Speaker 1: celebrity launch with the Blue Origin launch with Gail King
Speaker 1: and Katy Perry, and there was a list of other
Speaker 1: celebrity women who went up into space and then came
Speaker 1: right back down. And there's a video that's gone viral
Speaker 1: of Gail looking very conflicted about taking her ass up
Speaker 1: in the sky, and then when she makes it back down,
Speaker 1: she kisses the ground, y'all. That, And then there's also
Speaker 1: a video where she's like, look at the bone, look
Speaker 1: look look look like sounding like very like h like
Speaker 1: a childlike, you know, that childlike innocence when you're seeing
Speaker 1: something for the first time. So I thought that was cool.
Speaker 1: And this accompanyed Blue Origin, so I did. I looked
Speaker 1: up some shit on them. So it says about Blue Origin,
Speaker 1: it's the generation's job to build a road to space
Speaker 1: so the future generations can unloosh their creativity. And it
Speaker 1: says we're building a road to space for the benefit
Speaker 1: of Earth. And that is a quote by the first
Speaker 1: one was a quote by Jeff Bezos or handing this
Speaker 1: or so.
Speaker 3: Jeff, I think he chartered the last flight out of space, right,
Speaker 3: So personally, I don't think that they are getting past
Speaker 3: the Orion's belt when they go into space. I don't
Speaker 3: think that they're actually going outside of this atmosphere because
Speaker 3: I do believe there's a dome, y'all. I believe in
Speaker 3: the Bible. They talk about it in the Bible. I
Speaker 3: do believe that there's a dome that we haven't been
Speaker 3: able to penetrate. So they probably are going as far
Speaker 3: as that dome will allow them to. I don't think
Speaker 3: they're actually going into space and then just coming right
Speaker 3: back down.
Speaker 1: Well, says among those who have previously boarded the new
Speaker 1: Shepherd's Capsule. Ticket first sold for twenty eight million for
Speaker 1: the very first flight up into space, with twenty eight
Speaker 1: million per ticket, y'all, So I won't go for a while.
Speaker 1: I want to go. I'll do that shit, and I'll
Speaker 1: get on that ship and go up there. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wait till the ticket price go down a little bit,
Speaker 1: a lot of bits.
Speaker 3: By the time I get up there, it's gonna be
Speaker 3: like detrimental, like for everybody to go because Earth is
Speaker 3: over and that's that's what we'll get up As.
Speaker 1: Soon as they put a Starbucks get it Starbucks so fluid,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna be there.
Speaker 4: Shame Yeah, I don't know, y'all.
Speaker 3: I just feel like they're trying to it's to me,
Speaker 3: it's all a big it's a big sham.
Speaker 4: But we've ever been to the moon.
Speaker 1: Can anything ever be what it is? Though?
Speaker 3: No, it can't be because I know for sure that
Speaker 3: Ronald which president.
Speaker 4: Was in when they went to the moon before.
Speaker 1: Ford.
Speaker 3: No, they had him calling on a landline phone to
Speaker 3: the rocket.
Speaker 4: That's not impossible.
Speaker 3: And we know that the CI who was it, I
Speaker 3: can't remember, but I remember the video of him calling
Speaker 3: calling the uh calling.
Speaker 1: They played in our face with that.
Speaker 3: That's what and they still playing We get the same
Speaker 3: image of the moon all the time, Like why can't
Speaker 3: we get like an image that looks like it looks
Speaker 3: like when we take a picture from Earth looking.
Speaker 4: At the moon.
Speaker 3: It's like always the same, Like who's taking that picture?
Speaker 3: Who the fuck was taking the camera? Who was taking
Speaker 3: pictures of the person on the moon? Who was behind
Speaker 3: the camera?
Speaker 1: It was Nixon?
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're right, so Nixon called, right, But then
Speaker 3: think about the man walking on the moon putting.
Speaker 4: The flag up?
Speaker 3: Who recorded that video was the only person up? Then
Speaker 3: it's all done in a Hollywood studio. This is how
Speaker 3: I feel.
Speaker 4: So I don't know where they're going.
Speaker 3: I feel like out of space is actually over there
Speaker 3: as opposed to up there.
Speaker 1: Neil Armstrong didn't land on shit, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1: He landed on Hollywood Studio.
Speaker 4: Yes, I know it.
Speaker 1: There is some with all the technology we have now
Speaker 1: and thinking about how things were, this was what nineteen
Speaker 1: forever ago. Yeah, between nineteen sixteen nine and nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 1: because that's when Nixon was in office, y'all did not
Speaker 1: have the technology to have that phone call.
Speaker 4: I know that, but not from a landline anyway, you
Speaker 4: see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Like I do believe that they have always had some technology,
Speaker 3: but they choose when they like cell phones, like they
Speaker 3: choose when they're.
Speaker 4: Going to give it to release it the general public.
Speaker 3: So a lot of things they've been had access to
Speaker 3: because our ancestors from the future, like I like to call,
Speaker 3: left that stuff here. So it's just like it's from
Speaker 3: the landline, you wallin' and we see you really really walin'.
Speaker 3: It was a regular office phone, more a low beige,
Speaker 3: low office phone.
Speaker 4: I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: Hello, Neil, I have a feel up there.
Speaker 4: You need more.
Speaker 1: People, Go ahead. What happened else? What else happened? So?
Speaker 3: Okay, I saw this article and I just because my
Speaker 3: homegirls having a baby went to the baby shower, and
Speaker 3: several other old bitches at the baby shower are also expecting.
Speaker 4: So exciting, so an article came out.
Speaker 3: It says, for the first time ever, women over forty
Speaker 3: are having more.
Speaker 4: Babies than teens.
Speaker 3: The article goes on it says, for the first time
Speaker 3: in the United States, the number of births to women
Speaker 3: aged forty and over has surpassed those two teenagers. This
Speaker 3: shift reflects a significant decline in teen birth rates alongside
Speaker 3: and increase in births among older women. According to the
Speaker 3: National Center for Health Statistics, in twenty twenty three, women
Speaker 3: aged forty and above accounted for four point one percent
Speaker 3: of births, while teenage teenagers accounted for four percent. This
Speaker 3: trend is attributed to various factors, including advances and fertility treatments,
Speaker 3: greater financial stability, and evolving societal norms that support delayed parenthood.
Speaker 4: It says.
Speaker 3: Conversely, the decline and teen births is linked to improve
Speaker 3: access to contraception and comprehensive sex education.
Speaker 4: And my hypothesis is.
Speaker 3: The bitches who had abortions as teenagers are now having babies.
Speaker 3: We got punished for like twenty years and now God
Speaker 3: like Okay, bitch, you up next.
Speaker 1: All right, now it's your turn because I.
Speaker 3: Sent you one twenty five years ago and your ass
Speaker 3: send it back.
Speaker 1: Remember the women still I already had kids. They just
Speaker 1: having more in their forties, that's.
Speaker 4: All that part a lot of them. So that's exciting,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I do think that the younger girls, like, yeah, you
Speaker 3: still have team pregnancy and stuff like that. But some
Speaker 3: of them, some of these girls are a lot more smarter,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, have a little bit more
Speaker 3: self awareness. They just ain't with that shit being tied
Speaker 3: out with some dudes. Baby, you know, they're making better choices,
Speaker 3: I believe.
Speaker 1: With their bodies. Yeah, and listen playing how long plan
Speaker 1: be been out?
Speaker 4: Oh right?
Speaker 3: That shit is over the counter now yeh, lan By
Speaker 3: wasn't always over the counter, so within the last ten years,
Speaker 3: I think it's been so that might play a little accessible.
Speaker 1: Fifty dollars. You know, you can come up with a
Speaker 1: fifty quick, you know.
Speaker 4: So if you can come up with a fifty, you
Speaker 4: should not be having sex.
Speaker 1: And if yeah, but and it's still like literally on
Speaker 1: the shelf. If you can't come up with the fifty
Speaker 1: can literally steal that ship out of.
Speaker 3: Nothing, usually being the cases though, like the little security boxes.
Speaker 1: You can run with that ship if it really gets serious.
Speaker 4: This it is life, life and death.
Speaker 1: Bitch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah that this is actually a very This
Speaker 4: is a good thing.
Speaker 3: This is a good thing. It's as our generation of
Speaker 3: women were healthy. You know, you got to be healthy
Speaker 3: to still be having a sight babies having having babies, Like.
Speaker 4: We're healthy. That means we might live even longer.
Speaker 1: And we're staying I feel like we're staying younger longer.
Speaker 1: I think about my parents and our parents. They was
Speaker 1: not outside like how we still outside. I don't think
Speaker 1: like how we care about, you know, staying youthful and
Speaker 1: staying you know, in good shape. And I don't think
Speaker 1: our parents were as much concerned with that as we are.
Speaker 3: I know my mom was, but she just didn't really
Speaker 3: instill in us like how important health was. Because my
Speaker 3: mama literally used to work out with me as the weights,
Speaker 3: Like I remember her doing like like sit ups and
Speaker 3: shitting and lifting me up in the air, like she
Speaker 3: would use me to work out. And she was always
Speaker 3: smaller than me and my sisters. My mom didn't gain weight,
Speaker 3: so she probably was like in her fifties. Food change
Speaker 3: is just not the same. So all the you know,
Speaker 3: the environmental things caused her to probably gain weight. But
Speaker 3: for the most part, she's always been pretty health conscious.
Speaker 3: She just didn't tell us that we needed to be,
Speaker 3: like we was definitely raised on McDonald's birth.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing telling you, y'all, if y'all witnessing it,
Speaker 1: you don't need to be told, Like it should be
Speaker 1: just stuff that you if you're seeing it done you shit,
Speaker 1: Like if you're.
Speaker 3: Eating lean cuisine and we're eating big macs. Like I
Speaker 3: remember my oldest sister, I always be I probably be
Speaker 3: pissing them off because I always feel like the woman
Speaker 3: is just responsible for the nourishment of the family, Like
Speaker 3: it's just our responsibility, Like we be mad having to
Speaker 3: worry about this nigga's stomach in ours, it's just our responsibility.
Speaker 4: So they gonna eat however we prepare things.
Speaker 3: And I remember my sister like being on a diet
Speaker 3: and she was eating real healthy but simultaneously cooking like
Speaker 3: fried chicken and shit like that for her family. Like, nah,
Speaker 3: they supposed to eat how you eat, so everybody could
Speaker 3: be healthy together.
Speaker 4: You lead the pack. You know what I'm saying when
Speaker 4: it comes to like health.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they used to piss me off With my
Speaker 1: ex boyfriend, Like I would cook. He would let the
Speaker 1: kids eat cereal for dinner instead of what I cooked.
Speaker 1: Uh uh, here's the thing. It'd be something that they've
Speaker 1: eaten before. You know, so you liked it the last time,
Speaker 1: but now you don't want it this time.
Speaker 4: You know what they want.
Speaker 1: He let them eat what they want. But guess what
Speaker 1: when he go to work the next day, they'd be like,
Speaker 1: what's for breakfast? And I'll be like, dinner. You ain't
Speaker 1: cook nothing for breakfast. You're gonna eat what I cooked
Speaker 1: last night. You ate the bra for dinner, so now
Speaker 1: I eat the dinner for breakfast. You're gonna eat this
Speaker 1: food either one way or another. You're gonna have it.
Speaker 1: And your daddy ain't here to tell you that you
Speaker 1: can have more cereal. Ain't no more cereal? You ate it.
Speaker 4: It ain't used to be the opposite with my ex.
Speaker 3: Kids like them niggas used to really wake me up
Speaker 3: and be like, ag, like, what were we gonna eat?
Speaker 4: I'm like, didn't y'all just have cereal? But we want
Speaker 4: your breakfast.
Speaker 3: I get up and like they want me to cook
Speaker 3: like a real meal like daddy I made.
Speaker 4: They ass eat cold ass cereal.
Speaker 1: No, you're gonna eat this food because you ate it before.
Speaker 1: But you just want to eat cinnamon toast crunch instead
Speaker 1: of eating some real food. No, you're not gonna He'll
Speaker 1: let you do that, but you're not gonna have it
Speaker 1: for breakfast too.
Speaker 4: You're gonna eat this food, right, shame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have them problems to more.
Speaker 3: So, like this is just just a little adding right quick.
Speaker 3: Y'all seen cash doll like clean her nose with that
Speaker 3: twenty dollars bill.
Speaker 4: You've seen that shit, Tammy.
Speaker 1: I did. And I love me some cash doll, Like

Speaker 1: a weird flex because not only because it was I

Speaker 1: that dirty twenty dollars bill up your.
Speaker 4: Nose was just classless.
Speaker 1: It's flun to say that about my girl. But I
Speaker 1: will say that.
Speaker 3: Classless like not lead into this is gonna lead into
Speaker 3: a future conversation about rather or not black women can
Speaker 3: be told when they're doing some wax shit or not.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, it was corny. It was corny.
Speaker 4: We can't say that.
Speaker 1: We can say that it was it was nasty because
Speaker 1: about all the places that money goes. You know, that
Speaker 1: money could have been like in somebody's butt cracking the
Speaker 1: strip club. It could have.
Speaker 4: Been overd twenties, COVID.
Speaker 1: Somebody sick, could have been you know, had you know,
Speaker 1: somebody went to the hospital, the doctor, to the pharmacy
Speaker 1: to pay for their valtracks. Is that herpes? Yeah, having
Speaker 1: a breakout and they had just scratch the cootie and
Speaker 1: then grab the twenty to pay for their you know,
Speaker 1: you don't know, but that's just how I think of money.
Speaker 4: All wealthy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like kids putting nickels and shit in their mouth,
Speaker 3: like putting money, people holding money in their mouth right
Speaker 3: quick to do something like yeah, it's fucking filthy. If
Speaker 3: you put that ship in the microscope, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 3: it's all types of stuff moving around on that and
Speaker 3: then you stick step it up your nose, which goes
Speaker 3: straight to your brain, Like, girls, what were we doing?
Speaker 3: You know, like when people see say stuff like you know,
Speaker 3: real wealth is quiet and the other The other ship
Speaker 3: is real, loud and in your face. That is a
Speaker 3: real thing, right, There will be signs, there will be
Speaker 3: putting no twenty dollars.
Speaker 4: In my nose?

Speaker 4: That's what you thought to do? Weird flex anyway, We
Speaker 4: love you cash with it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love cash doll She just want you to
Speaker 1: healthy girlfriend. All right, y'all, when we come back from
Speaker 1: this break, we're going to get into the things that
Speaker 1: we need to vent about, just a couple of things
Speaker 1: that's really grinding our gears right now, we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: All right, y'all, we're back, And this is a sort
Speaker 3: of a rant session for we talked back this week.
Speaker 3: We're just gonna talk about all the things that's bothering us.
Speaker 3: Things we can't stand. Things were tied of seeing, things
Speaker 3: were tied of talking about all the things.
Speaker 1: What's getting on your nerves?
Speaker 4: Ah?
Speaker 3: Okay, Rant number one. Okay, I don't want black women
Speaker 3: to get mad at me, because I am also guilty
Speaker 3: of this thing. Right, But does it not seem like
Speaker 3: black women might be a little bit or act like
Speaker 3: we may be a little bit above reproach collectively, Like
Speaker 3: when it's a group of us, like we really beyond
Speaker 3: some can't alt detail us shit. So recently I saw
Speaker 3: nineteen Keys had an episode and he had a black
Speaker 3: woman as a guest on there.
Speaker 4: And I didn't watch the episode.
Speaker 3: Yet, I only saw the couple minute clip on Instagram
Speaker 3: and he basically, like the caption was, black women need
Speaker 3: to stop wearing synthetic hair.
Speaker 4: So he's talking about the braids.
Speaker 3: And again he had a woman on the show, you know,
Speaker 3: engaged in this conversation as well, and we know, like
Speaker 3: this is synthetic here, like the synthetic fibers, Polyester, the
Speaker 3: same shit most of our clothes.
Speaker 4: Is made of.
Speaker 3: So that was my only comment on the post, and
Speaker 3: all I said was I agree, but the clothes is
Speaker 3: made of polyester too, So what we're gonna do about that?
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: The leggings, these nigga y'all shirts, everything y'all do, rags,
Speaker 3: it's all polyesters, all fake materials. But the black women
Speaker 3: in the comments, niggas need to stop telling us what
Speaker 3: to deal And don't nobody be telling you y'all what
Speaker 3: to do. You know, I am guilty of saying that.
Speaker 3: You know, black women, we have lunches, brunches and conferences
Speaker 3: to talk about all our shit. So no, we are
Speaker 3: here in podcasts, okay, exactly, so no, we don't need
Speaker 3: niggas also then telling us what to do once y'all
Speaker 3: congregate and talk to y'all brethren. You know. So I'm
Speaker 3: guilty of saying that shit too, But in this particular instance,
Speaker 3: he wasn't even saying human here. He didn't say weave,
Speaker 3: he didn't say, y'all, beitch, you need to start wearing frontals,
Speaker 3: none of that shit. He was talking about synthetic care
Speaker 3: in particular, which we know most of the beauty industry
Speaker 3: is killing black women right that part.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I paid two thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for a hairstyle only to have to go home and
Speaker 1: pour apple side of vinegar over my head and stand
Speaker 1: in the shower and cry because the synthetic it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be all human here, and that's what I
Speaker 1: paid for. But she wrapped my lock at the top
Speaker 1: with synthetic hair, and I had an allergic reaction something
Speaker 1: in that hair, some kind of chemical that was on
Speaker 1: that hair. It felt like fire iNTS was on my head.
Speaker 1: I was so miserable, so I fucking synthetic hair. Fuck
Speaker 1: that shit. I'm with nineteen keys. Don't put that shit
Speaker 1: in your head. It is toxic. My brain felt like
Speaker 1: it was squeezing through my pores. So I agree with him,
Speaker 1: but we we are anytime I'm in an argument with
Speaker 1: a man, he started making sense.
Speaker 4: My chest start hurting, Why are you talking to me
Speaker 4: like that? Automatic?
Speaker 1: Immediately I start crying.
Speaker 4: Let me there's black.
Speaker 3: Women tears don't like if a fuck will we cried
Speaker 3: for real.
Speaker 1: That shit only work on the police for me for
Speaker 1: some reason. When it's my nigga, he know better. He'd
Speaker 1: be like, girl, shut the fuck up, because I'm right
Speaker 1: now you cry.
Speaker 4: I'm guilty the room I just heard.
Speaker 1: I'm guilty, girl.
Speaker 4: I remember when my fucking asked like he asked me
Speaker 4: to make him a sandwich.
Speaker 3: So I go downstairs, and as soon as my foot
Speaker 3: stepped into the kitchen, I said that nigga going through
Speaker 3: my cell phone like I can feel him, like I
Speaker 3: almost could see him from downstairs in my phone, bitch,
Speaker 3: when I can't. Yes, he asked me to do that
Speaker 3: just so he can get to my phone.
Speaker 4: Girl. When I when I um back upstairs.
Speaker 3: He was acting in there like he was cool, but
Speaker 3: I could feel his energy ship that nigga energy is sickening.
Speaker 4: And I said, do you found what she was looking for?
Speaker 3: Like he didn't even have my phone in his hand
Speaker 3: at the time, I just knew he was in my shit.
Speaker 4: Girl. He started whiling out in there, and I just
Speaker 4: started crying. My grandma, the lady. I already talk to
Speaker 4: the lady, and she told you to get over that shit.
Speaker 4: Fuck you.
Speaker 3: And the lady on my side, the lady on my side,
Speaker 3: the black lady, she's still on my side.
Speaker 1: Listen, shit, we can be collectively beyond reproach. And I
Speaker 1: attribute that to us having to be raised to be
Speaker 1: so strong. Have we not been raised to be like
Speaker 1: that's you when you had that baby. That's your baby,
Speaker 1: all right. You need to take care of yourself because
Speaker 1: because if that man leave you, you're gonna have to do
Speaker 1: it by yourself. So you got to be able to
Speaker 1: do this, and you got to be able to do that,
Speaker 1: and you need to be able to understand this. And
Speaker 1: you need to learn how to change your tire, and
Speaker 1: you need to learn how to take out the trash.
Speaker 1: You need to learn how to do all these We
Speaker 1: don't get to we haven't been raised to be soft.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean historically we have had a lot
Speaker 3: of disrespect. We are never put at the top when
Speaker 3: we are at the top, and we know that, right,
Speaker 3: So sometimes we might move in that way. I feel
Speaker 3: like when and this might come off as feminist. I'm
Speaker 3: not a feminist, but I do believe that the patriarch
Speaker 3: is probably about to be over and I think the
Speaker 3: matriarch has always been in place.
Speaker 4: We've just been doing it from the bedroom.
Speaker 3: And I think when we start coming to the forefront
Speaker 3: and telling people how shit is and how it is
Speaker 3: going to be to make things better, it's kind of
Speaker 3: threatening to the patriarch. So I think when we do
Speaker 3: move like in droves, it could come off intimidating. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, like, y'all can't you can't tell
Speaker 3: these bitches nothing, you know.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, we got all the.
Speaker 3: Advice for everybody else, but even when somebody's trying to
Speaker 3: tell us something that's going to help us, we're telling
Speaker 3: them to shut the hell up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. It's so crazy because I always say,
Speaker 1: like I want somebody to come in and be a leader.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of being the leader. I want someone else
Speaker 1: to captain the ship. But am I really going to
Speaker 1: allow a nigga to come in and do that? That's
Speaker 1: the thing, you know. Am I really going to be
Speaker 1: able to relinquish control in that way to allow man
Speaker 1: to be the leader? That is the cross that I bear.
Speaker 3: I don't think that we have these conversations, and we
Speaker 3: hear these conversations on podcasts all the time, and I
Speaker 3: just don't think that the GDP allows for any one
Speaker 3: person to be the decision maker. And why would a
Speaker 3: man have to like why would you? Why would anybody
Speaker 3: want to always be the one making decisions? Like you know,
Speaker 3: it should be it should be split. You're going to
Speaker 3: be good at some things. He's going to be good
Speaker 3: at some things. That's what equally yoke actually means. Equally
Speaker 3: yoke doesn't mean like he's supposed to do everything exactly
Speaker 3: how you do it and as good as you do it. No,
Speaker 3: you y'all show up for each other where the other
Speaker 3: persons shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, partnership, But I still want a leader. I think
Speaker 1: my mom was like, you need a beta man. You
Speaker 1: don't need no alpha male, need a beta, And I'm
Speaker 1: like you.
Speaker 4: No, you don't.
Speaker 1: I know, absolutely not. I don't try somebody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want a nigga who I can easily
Speaker 3: like disrespect, because that's what happens when you have somebody
Speaker 3: who isn't a decision maker, who can't who's not decisive
Speaker 3: about anything. Women then tend to like just take the leader.
Speaker 3: Now I got the pants and I got standing up.
Speaker 3: I don't want that my mom be saying I got
Speaker 3: the fussy dick like she be saying that.
Speaker 4: I don't ever want to feel that way.
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to say that to a man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we want the man to, you know, provide provision,
Speaker 3: protection and things like that. You have to be able
Speaker 3: to listen to somebody if you really want them to
Speaker 3: be able.
Speaker 4: To protect you.
Speaker 3: You may think it's gonna trolling when he say, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't think you should go outside.
Speaker 4: You know, go to the grocery. So it's ten o'clock.
Speaker 4: What the fuck you got going on?
Speaker 1: You know that's not try and you complained about I
Speaker 1: have it on lunch.
Speaker 4: Well our source. Maybe we'll get instacart.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but sometimes you have to listen to
Speaker 3: what your man, the man that is supposed to be
Speaker 3: able to protect you because maybe you as much as
Speaker 3: we think we are always alert, and you know, Mama
Speaker 3: bears and just you know, sometimes somebody else has a
Speaker 3: little bit more insight than you do. Black women, So
Speaker 3: if you want that provision from black men, you got
Speaker 3: to listen to them sometimes sometimes on Wednesdays and Sundays,
Speaker 3: you gotta try.
Speaker 1: All right, let me see what is my vent. I
Speaker 1: am so sick of trying to maintain beauty and go
Speaker 1: to the gym. Oh my god, when I say I sweat,
Speaker 1: it's so bad in my head right, and I got
Speaker 1: these European tracks in my head, and my natural hair
Speaker 1: is given a fresh off. It's just such a struggle
Speaker 1: every day, like I can't. I'm gotta get me some locks.
Speaker 1: I'm going back to my locks because I can't do this.
Speaker 1: I can't live like this anymore. That is a battle
Speaker 1: for the black woman in the gym. If you are
Speaker 1: not wearing a natural even with natural styles, it's just
Speaker 1: still such a fucking struggle. Are you wearing a hat
Speaker 1: or you got a wig? But if you got some
Speaker 1: natural leave out, maybe the struggle is real.
Speaker 3: And I be in the gym with a hat wig,
Speaker 3: I do do that right now. I actually have my
Speaker 3: ship laid down blue down.
Speaker 4: But if I go to the gym, this's gonna be
Speaker 4: lifting you.
Speaker 1: You. I'm want you to do then braids you had
Speaker 1: back when we went to see old girl a braid
Speaker 1: from there.
Speaker 3: We just talked about the braiding hair and that shit
Speaker 3: be having my scalp and flame.
Speaker 1: They got they got, they got hair.
Speaker 4: Now that is you don't know until you're tried.
Speaker 3: You might think my homegirl getting her hair braided today, right,
Speaker 3: and her braider had her drive all the way across
Speaker 3: town because now she used to provide the hair, but
Speaker 3: now she no longer provides the hair. You got to
Speaker 3: bring your own hair because somebody complained about some here
Speaker 3: they that she used on their heads. So now you
Speaker 3: got to bring your own ship. She's no longer providing here.
Speaker 3: So you just never know what's going to Something might
Speaker 3: work for somebody and it may not work for the
Speaker 3: next person. And I have very sensitive skin.
Speaker 1: Well, what would did you use that time? Because that worked?
Speaker 3: I can't remember. I can't remember. They provided the hair.
Speaker 3: It was an African shop in Charlotte.
Speaker 1: But they got these new Uh. What I've seen is
Speaker 1: supposed to be hypoallergenic and all. But you also can
Speaker 1: wash your hair and apple cider vinegar and do all
Speaker 1: these things first that they're saying. But I would love
Speaker 1: to see you back in some braids or some locks
Speaker 1: or something like that. I just I be.
Speaker 3: Feeling stuck, Like as soon as I put the braids in,
Speaker 3: I want to take it out to see if my
Speaker 3: hair grew, because.
Speaker 1: Like immediately, that's how I feel about the gym. It's
Speaker 1: my back big after two days away. What did you
Speaker 1: get on the scale? Fuck?
Speaker 4: I lose five pounds.
Speaker 1: Already after one workout. But y'all know that, you know
Speaker 1: you'd be wearing the wigs all the time, this part
Speaker 1: of your scalp get lighter than I don't.
Speaker 3: So I hardly leave the house for one right and
Speaker 3: when I do, like, I don't wear my Like right now,
Speaker 3: I glued my hair down because we're supposed to do
Speaker 3: something else today and that didn't happen. But for the
Speaker 3: most part, I do not be just having my weight
Speaker 3: glued on. I be in a bonnet most of the time,
Speaker 3: and I don't be outside. So I know you're talking
Speaker 3: about like that little light skin area. My shit was
Speaker 3: fucked up because I stopped using a ghost Bawn glue
Speaker 3: because they changed the formula. And this goes back again
Speaker 3: to like these people trying to kill us. My shit
Speaker 3: was fucking raw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of our beautiful black women got raw
Speaker 1: hairlines and this colored hairlines because of those wigs. And
Speaker 1: that is an indicator to take a break and give
Speaker 1: your scalp some rest from that chemical that's in the
Speaker 1: glue and just being completely covered all the time. And
Speaker 1: then once you continue to do that, your hairline receiveds
Speaker 1: and then you are stuck with it. Stop doing that,
Speaker 1: So just stop doing that to your head. Your hairline
Speaker 1: is beautiful. Just love it, love on it.
Speaker 3: So what about these foreheads though, because you know, I
Speaker 3: do get to hide like a half an inch of mine,
Speaker 3: wear a band, get a sour a bang, and then
Speaker 3: when I wear a bang, I missed my forehead.
Speaker 4: I remember, I had to. You can't say I did
Speaker 4: sew in with a bang.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, I missed my forehead. So
Speaker 3: it's just I don't know.
Speaker 4: I like what I like, and I can't necessarily say
Speaker 4: I like braids.
Speaker 3: Okay, I feel like too much in my fucking face,
Speaker 3: be out it's just it.
Speaker 4: Become a lot.
Speaker 3: So you hide under your hair a little bit, yeah,
Speaker 3: I do. And I have to enter this forehead, yes
Speaker 3: I do. Okay, so the whole forehead is out because
Speaker 3: I don't got no little sleek, little baby edges. I
Speaker 3: might have the girl I permed my edges once. I
Speaker 3: put a Jerry curl on my edges one time and
Speaker 3: them shit came out. But luckily I have very resilient hair,
Speaker 3: at least the edges.
Speaker 1: My edges I got too thin spots. My shit came
Speaker 1: to fuck back, and I've been rubbing bath and lathering
Speaker 1: them little spots right there, just trying to get them
Speaker 1: to grow back, because it is what it is though,
Speaker 1: fuck it, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So yeah, trying to maintain the hair and go
Speaker 4: to the gym.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you really like, I don't give a fuck,
Speaker 3: I'll be in there with this shit loosening up and
Speaker 3: all that. Well, I put a scarf or a hat,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Like you wear more men
Speaker 3: leave out? Yeah, yeah, you wear more leave out a
Speaker 3: lot of times. So I can see, like trying to
Speaker 3: maintain that shit and like sweaty scalp.
Speaker 4: I don't sweat in my head that bad.
Speaker 1: And it's cool y'all because I love y'all. We family
Speaker 1: my quick weaves. Think I gotta take it out before
Speaker 1: I can't let easter. I can't let Easter catch me
Speaker 1: like I started sweating. I could smell it. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, and I'd be thinking like, no, I
Speaker 1: could not lay next to nobody's son with my head.
Speaker 4: And bitches do it though, women be definitely laying down
Speaker 4: with that corn chip scalp.
Speaker 1: It was thank I got this.
Speaker 3: Man can't tell you nothing about that. He can't say, dibby,
Speaker 3: you smell funny, you get offended, right, we'll.
Speaker 1: Get my hair done. And then.
Speaker 3: Knowing, damn well, you're the first person that can smell
Speaker 3: that shit like it's right above your nose.
Speaker 1: I know because I had this quick weave in for
Speaker 1: about three weeks now and I've been doing a day
Speaker 1: workouts range sweat shank.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, y'all, any suggestions on I mean, aside
Speaker 3: from just going coming to the gym as you are with.
Speaker 1: That look, shit you can do. There is no alternative
Speaker 1: for sweat. You can't stop your head from sweating.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: Another thing, I've been sank. I've been stank, y'all. I stopped.
Speaker 1: I told y'all, I stopped using like the odor with aluminum.
Speaker 4: Oh, I've been stank, bit y'all.
Speaker 1: So I tried this new. I tried Donna Cararin aluminum
Speaker 1: free deodor. I like it, but I definitely have to
Speaker 1: travel with it in whites because after about a good
Speaker 1: eight hours, if I don't go back home, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start getting twanky. But now I just tried this Tai
Speaker 1: crystal mm hmm theodor and it's literally like a crystal bar.
Speaker 1: You gotta put it under water.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've done that too. Yeah, and I use
Speaker 3: Florida water. I used to do that too, so I'm
Speaker 3: trying that now. So when I first started wearing natural deorderance,
Speaker 3: I started with nothing, no deorderance. I started using no
Speaker 3: deordering and I'm like, oh, hell no, bitch, because you're
Speaker 3: whole grown ass man, especially when you go to the gym.
Speaker 3: So now, then the next step I went to just
Speaker 3: using lemon and that really works raw, yes, but it's
Speaker 3: too acidic and it will burn your skin after a while.
Speaker 3: So I had to stop that.
Speaker 4: Shit.
Speaker 3: Did the crystals with the Florida water. Now I'm just
Speaker 3: at the almond hammer.
Speaker 4: Did I not give you a tube of that before?
Speaker 1: Girl?
Speaker 3: Okay, so I feel like it works. Okay, now, it's
Speaker 3: not going to stop you from sweating.
Speaker 1: Stop using aluminum. It's over but not sweating. But I
Speaker 1: just feel like I'm supposed to sweat. You know, my
Speaker 1: body are.
Speaker 3: Exactly so what we're doing when we use these deorderance
Speaker 3: with all these chemicals in it, you are blocking the
Speaker 3: pores under your own, which then can lead to things
Speaker 3: like breast cancer. You're plogging up the lymph nodes and
Speaker 3: stuff like that with with the with the you know.
Speaker 1: So that's why that's why I stopped. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be alive and stink.
Speaker 4: How about that?
Speaker 1: That's how I feel when I be in the gym,
Speaker 1: I be looking mean, not just because I don't want
Speaker 1: y'all to come talk to me because I don't want
Speaker 1: to be bothered. It's because I don't want you to
Speaker 1: smell me.
Speaker 4: And I'm mad. I'm mad, I'm stink.
Speaker 3: You know, he'd be mad somebody else musty. I'd be pissed,
Speaker 3: like you're so disrespectful. Why the funk would you be
Speaker 3: that musty.
Speaker 4: In here, right, So that's what's happening. That's funny, man,
Speaker 4: Somebody help.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get in shape. I'm just funky.
Speaker 1: My head staying.
Speaker 4: He's trying to be healthy, that's all, you know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So healthy, don't always be pretty like.
Speaker 1: You know it's I'm going through a very stinky transition.
Speaker 1: But your face looks slim always it looking slim. Good.
Speaker 1: It's starting to come off of me. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get the second chip. Like, for the life of me,
Speaker 1: this second chain go to go.
Speaker 4: That's your next rant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my that's my third and final rant. After
Speaker 1: thirty something the collagen and our next starts to like
Speaker 1: d window and this little piece start to hang a
Speaker 1: little bit. That is the backing neck.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: I hate that shit so bad I do. I'll be
Speaker 1: doing the exercises under my chin.
Speaker 4: I got a little roller in the freeze, roller rolling it.
Speaker 1: None of that shit works. None of it works. And
Speaker 1: so now if I'll get down to the wait I want,
Speaker 1: if it don't come off, which I doubt it will
Speaker 1: because this has more to do with age, I think,
Speaker 1: what'd you think?
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 3: Possibly my mom is in her seventies and she hate
Speaker 3: that shit too. She's always doing this like I just
Speaker 3: want this thing off, and it does start to even more.
Speaker 3: But it's also like weight loss, weight gain, weight loss,
Speaker 3: weight gain, also the elasticity.
Speaker 4: So I don't know.
Speaker 3: You know, my the lady who I go to for
Speaker 3: my colonics, she's fifty something, beautiful skin.
Speaker 4: I asked her the other that said, you use well
Speaker 4: you get boltok. She was like no, never.
Speaker 3: She basically like slathered her face every day twice a
Speaker 3: day in castor oil. She just put it on real
Speaker 3: thick and then like rub it in, real good rub
Speaker 3: it in. So she does like a whole little maintenance
Speaker 3: with cast oil. So I started doing that because I mean, boltops,
Speaker 3: I feel like that shit, like this fucking line in
Speaker 3: my forehead.
Speaker 4: I'm sick of it, you know. And my mom she
Speaker 4: has this thing right here just like I do, like
Speaker 4: the little bulldog, little fat in between the eyebrows.
Speaker 3: So when I squinched my face up, it's like my
Speaker 3: mom's now is like hanging there. So I'm like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, when I get old, like that's how my
Speaker 3: shit canna look.
Speaker 4: So what I'm gonna do about that.
Speaker 1: I'm about to go get this shit. Snitch.
Speaker 4: Oh, let's go to Turkey, bitch, Let's go to Turkey.
Speaker 3: We don't get the whole comprehensive healthcare shit where they
Speaker 3: checked all their things and you see all the specialists
Speaker 3: all in one day.
Speaker 4: It used to be four hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Now it's nine hundred because more Americans has been coming
Speaker 3: to going to Turkey for it. We need to go
Speaker 3: ahead and do that this year. Yes, and we do
Speaker 3: like packages with hotels and flight, so we need to
Speaker 3: go ahead and do that because I'm sick of this
Speaker 3: little piece of shit about the monmit.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so when we come back from the break,
Speaker 3: I want to rant about one more thing. Okay, just
Speaker 3: one more thing right back, all right?
Speaker 4: All right, So we're back, and.
Speaker 3: I know you guys have seen these headlines, and I've
Speaker 3: seen so many posts and so many different influencers online
Speaker 3: talking about these fake bags, like from the post at
Speaker 3: China that the Asian countries have put out basically disparaging
Speaker 3: right the European nations in the bags, like Italy seeing
Speaker 3: that all these bags are actually made in China. I
Speaker 3: have always had the inkling that that's what's going on
Speaker 3: because right now we.
Speaker 4: Are in a place where.
Speaker 3: The real and the fake is being exposed, like literally,
Speaker 3: So to me, like that whole situation is way bigger
Speaker 3: than those handbags, right because what's the lie and what's
Speaker 3: the truth? The lines are like so blurry right now.
Speaker 3: I've been thought, like you go in the store, like
Speaker 3: who's to say like that, what is the real bag
Speaker 3: and what is a fake bag? But the craziness that
Speaker 3: I see from some people online like ah, yeah, y'all
Speaker 3: bitches bags been fake Like it's like now they think
Speaker 3: it's like even playing field or somehow everybody is like
Speaker 3: on the same playing field.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about these bags, it's the logo that
Speaker 1: gives it status exactly. That's what it is. It's a
Speaker 1: status symbol. It is not even about the bag. Most
Speaker 1: of those Ermag's bags are ugly.
Speaker 4: Yes, what is a lunchbox?
Speaker 1: Right, So let's be clear, they're not exactly the cutest
Speaker 1: bag in the world. If you were walking past a
Speaker 1: store and saw that bag in it without Irmaz symbol
Speaker 1: on it, you wouldn't be like, Ooh, I love the
Speaker 1: design of that bag. You're not. But because it is
Speaker 1: Ermaz and because it was thirty eight thousand dollars for
Speaker 1: this bag. It is a status symbol, and that's what
Speaker 1: I think people are missing. It's about the status that
Speaker 1: comes along with it, not necessarily the look.
Speaker 4: Of the bag or the well the price also, right,
Speaker 4: So yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I remember some guys pay thirty eight thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for a bag, you know you coming like that.
Speaker 3: So I remember some months ago, white women were coming
Speaker 3: out saying that they ordered these knockoff armaz bags and
Speaker 3: they were comparing it to their real thirty eight thousand
Speaker 3: dollars bags. And I mean the finishing on it, like
Speaker 3: the locks, all that stuff was identical. So this is
Speaker 3: before this time right now, right before like age and
Speaker 3: now trying to confirm some things. Now, I've been to China.
Speaker 3: I went to guang Zhao and in Hong Kong. In
Speaker 3: Hong Kong, there is a designer handbag store damned on
Speaker 3: every fucking corner. They're designer stores on every corner. And
Speaker 3: when I say they have these vintage bags, new bags,
Speaker 3: all that shit in there for resale prices, prices and
Speaker 3: new prices for the same price, you'd probably see the
Speaker 3: shit inside of a Louis Vuitton store, So I think
Speaker 3: they are partially lying right about them making all of
Speaker 3: these bags in China. There is a black market for
Speaker 3: I remember when I came back from China, they took
Speaker 3: my luggage.
Speaker 4: I have no fake bags in there.
Speaker 3: I had a bunch of weave in there, because that's
Speaker 3: what the fuck I went to China for to find
Speaker 3: some here vendors. So I didn't get my bags delivered
Speaker 3: to my house until like the next day, and like
Speaker 3: the TSA slip was in there, so they went through
Speaker 3: my shit. So it's a real big thing about you know,
Speaker 3: important and exporting like the counterfeit items. But in China,
Speaker 3: they are selling legitimate Lui Tatan Italian made bags in
Speaker 3: their country. So do not pay attention to all the propaganda,
Speaker 3: right because it's no middle class in China, baby, And
Speaker 3: they all walking around with thirty eight thousand dollars arms bags.
Speaker 3: I promise you, Okay, you either really rich are you
Speaker 3: really poor. So what they're doing now I feel is
Speaker 3: trying to destroy that market and maybe they're gonna then
Speaker 3: insert themselves with the thirty thousand dollar bags. Mm hmm, okay,
Speaker 3: So just be careful, you know, So.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't. I don't think right now.
Speaker 1: I feel like sucker bag fuck a bag full right
Speaker 1: now because it's.
Speaker 4: Way nicer shit out here. Like my little cute little
Speaker 4: bag I wore last.
Speaker 3: Week to my homegirls baby shower, Like that bag cost
Speaker 3: me forty dollars and she had a.
Speaker 4: Little Gucci little bag.
Speaker 3: My bag is cuter, same little little bamboo handle, all
Speaker 3: that shit. I paid thirty nine forty dollars for the bag.
Speaker 3: Her bag was two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all about how you style yourself.
Speaker 3: I make the clothes look good. You got to make
Speaker 3: the clothes look good. Clothes on make you you make
Speaker 3: the clothes.
Speaker 1: Right well, trying to make the clothes.
Speaker 3: Everything China tie one, we don't make ship and thus
Speaker 3: trying to bring back some of these industries. I want
Speaker 3: to open up a fabric store. Joeanne Fabric just closed down.
Speaker 3: All the sewing girls and all the seamstresses in Charleston
Speaker 3: are in a friends for good. They just closed the
Speaker 3: one that's in the area I live in, which is
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, so like all all of sewing, like
Speaker 3: my steam stresses, Like, I don't know what we're going
Speaker 3: to do. I'm like Oh my god, this is a
Speaker 3: fucking opportunity for a small business. Like I'm going to
Speaker 3: order all this fabric from China because I have connects.
Speaker 3: When I went to China, they have this big ass
Speaker 3: places like a coliseum, and you can literally walk in
Speaker 3: there and start any business you want to start. If
Speaker 3: you want to sell kurlinized, you want to sell combs,
Speaker 3: you want to sell weave, you want to sell fabrics,
Speaker 3: you want to sell rugs, you want to sell the pakaba, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you could do that too, right, they have everything. It's
Speaker 3: called I think it's called Fashion World or something like
Speaker 3: that big ass place in the middle of Goangzhao. You
Speaker 3: can go in there and start whatever business. So yes,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be ordering some fucking fabric and shit, I
Speaker 3: bought a lot from Joannes.
Speaker 4: I really want to do that.
Speaker 3: Like that's that should be a quick like a little
Speaker 3: small little shop, bitch, just come get fabric, because there's
Speaker 3: one one, one shop in my area that has like fabric,
Speaker 3: but not as much as like a Joanne fabric that
Speaker 3: they would have.
Speaker 1: Well, they started looking to make me some clothes.
Speaker 4: I ain't trying to sow shit, I'm just trying to
Speaker 4: get a bag off of buying something for a little
Speaker 4: bit of money and sell on this for a lot. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: that's what that's what's happening with y'all. Bags.
Speaker 1: Possibly, no, with everything, because all right, y'all know those
Speaker 1: sneakers that went viral from Walmart. They call Avia A
Speaker 1: v I A. They're really cute. I got a pair.
Speaker 1: They're cute. They were nineteen dollars in Walmart and they
Speaker 1: feel just like a pair of Nikes or a six
Speaker 1: or something like that. So we're paying one hundred plus
Speaker 1: wor a sneaker they're probably paid costs more than less
Speaker 1: than nineteen dollars to make.
Speaker 3: Yep, so the price to a wayman, Walmart had one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars sneaker.
Speaker 1: No, it's a nineteen dollar sneaker that went viral. Everybody
Speaker 1: was getting them because they were cute. And I got
Speaker 1: me a pair and then av I A, And like
Speaker 1: I said, my mom was, you know, my mama always
Speaker 1: buying some is a homeless lady. She's like, I need
Speaker 1: to get her some sneakers and an outfit. I was like,
Speaker 1: go to Walmart and get her. And then she was
Speaker 1: picking out all these ugly ass shoes. I was like, nah,
Speaker 1: Walmart got. I was like, the lady already homeless, get
Speaker 1: her some nice at least some cute shit. So I
Speaker 1: told her to get her the av A sneakers. So
Speaker 1: she was walking around Walmart trying to find them, and
Speaker 1: the girl in Walmart was like, you're talking about the
Speaker 1: TikTok sneakers. Everybody want we out, So they are out
Speaker 1: right now, but she said they'll be back soon. But
Speaker 1: they were like, no, I got a pair for nineteen bucks,

Speaker 3: she is talking about my gumbo Kobe's. Those are a
Speaker 3: classic sneaker. Okay, maybe you got tired of seeing me
Speaker 3: wearing them, but you love those sneakers, and I think

Speaker 3: in the car and like the ship melted a little
Speaker 3: bo I'd be man, I would have a manifest anything
