Speaker 1: Welcome to Carefully Reckless, the production of Our Heart Radio
Speaker 1: and the Black Effects, A nice little aspect aspected, nice
Speaker 1: little And just like that, we're back on the air.
Speaker 1: Welcome to yet another episode of Carefully Reckless with your
Speaker 1: girl just hilarious. Now listen, grab your te grab your holes,
Speaker 1: grab your night quil, your day quill, and everything else.
Speaker 1: Because I got mine, and I'm gonna tell you why.
Speaker 1: It's story time. So, guys, I went on a date
Speaker 1: earlier last week. I'm sitting at the bar with a gentleman. Now,
Speaker 1: I like this guy. He's cool. We order our food.
Speaker 1: While we're waiting for our food to come out, I
Speaker 1: beat him in a couple of hands of uno because
Speaker 1: y'all know me, y'all know how I get down. Now
Speaker 1: he sucks in this, by the way, but it's fine.
Speaker 1: Our food comes out, we say grace. We're eating. I
Speaker 1: can't taste my food, so I tap them, babe, taste this.
Speaker 1: Can you taste it? Because I can't taste it. After
Speaker 1: he tastes it, he's like, well, it's not much flavor
Speaker 1: acts for salt and pepper. So I did. I got
Speaker 1: the salt pepper and I got the hot sauce right now,
Speaker 1: mind you. I had salmon, spinach and mashed potatoes right
Speaker 1: and the salmon came with like a greavy sauce that
Speaker 1: I should have tasted and put the salt and pepper
Speaker 1: on it and the hot sauce. Still couldn't taste it.
Speaker 1: I asked him to taste it. He said, no, I
Speaker 1: do taste it now. The food is not that flavorful
Speaker 1: even still, I said, okay, but I should still be
Speaker 1: able to taste the fact that it's not flavorful. You
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying. It was like eating air. So
Speaker 1: I tasted his food. He had an apple walnut salad
Speaker 1: with salmon as well, could not taste it. I ordered
Speaker 1: a Coca Cola with extra its. That's my favorite beverage
Speaker 1: other than my Hennessey sidecar with a half sugar room.
Speaker 1: Could not taste that either. Now I look over in him,
Speaker 1: not tell him. I think I'm gonna need a COVID test.
Speaker 1: He was like, calm down, calm down. I was scared.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about crying internally, Like I was scared as fun,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, of course that killed
Speaker 1: my appetite. I wasn't even trying to eat anymore. I
Speaker 1: was very, very scared upset, and I let him finish
Speaker 1: eating his food and we ended the day fine. He
Speaker 1: took me back to my car. Now, listen, when he
Speaker 1: took me back to my car, there was food that
Speaker 1: I left in there from us going out two nights
Speaker 1: before that, and it was seafood. I forgot to take
Speaker 1: it out my car. Right, so you can imagine the
Speaker 1: smell of old oysters and fucking scallops and clams and ship.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's been sitting in a
Speaker 1: hot ass car over the course of forty eight hours. Right.
Speaker 1: I jumped in the car and I didn't smell anything.
Speaker 1: He said, you don't smell as ship. He smelled the
Speaker 1: ship as soon as I opened up the door. I said,
Speaker 1: I don't smell anything. He said, it fucking reeks in
Speaker 1: the car, Jessica, I said, I do not smell it.
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, you might need a COVID test. He
Speaker 1: thought I was joking at first, though, I'm like, Babe, no,
Speaker 1: I don't smell any of this ship. Now. I had
Speaker 1: been feeling nasally for like the past four or five days. Now, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that this is allergies because I have had
Speaker 1: severe allergies this year so far. I've never had allergies
Speaker 1: until this year, my twenty ninth year of living. I'm
Speaker 1: getting a lot of things late. I just got chickenpox
Speaker 1: earlier last year, you know, So I'm like fuck. However,
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm thinking, this is allergies, right. So
Speaker 1: I called my cousin immediately, and I was supposed to
Speaker 1: meet up with her to go to dinner. She has
Speaker 1: home COVID tests, so I beg her to bring one
Speaker 1: for me. Because I'm such a pussy. I cannot do
Speaker 1: my own COVID tests. I cannot stick anything up my nose.
Speaker 1: I just can't. She has no problem whatsoever doing it, though,
Speaker 1: so she drove down from Pennsylvania to give me a
Speaker 1: COVID test. She bought two to be exact. The first
Speaker 1: one came back positive. I asked her to do it again,
Speaker 1: second one positive. I immediately called my friend and I said, listen,
Speaker 1: I have COVID. You have to get tested because I
Speaker 1: am positive that I have COVID. He took his test,
Speaker 1: his came back negative. Now he had already had COVID,
Speaker 1: so his chances of getting it again is very low. However,
Speaker 1: you can catch COVID twice. His COVID test was negative,
Speaker 1: so was my son's, and so was anybody else that
Speaker 1: I was around within those last four days prior. So yes,
Speaker 1: it's official. COVID had been trying and trying, and yes,
Speaker 1: that bitch finally got your girl. COVID got me, guys,
Speaker 1: Hence the sound of congestion. Y'all probably can still hear that.
Speaker 1: I'm a little n easily. And I know a lot
Speaker 1: of y'all have been wondering why she haven't been making
Speaker 1: any videos? Why wa wa, why wa wah wah wah,
Speaker 1: and even in my story. Okay, I do a lot
Speaker 1: of commentary on movie I've just been watching movies land
Speaker 1: back during commentary. But y'all have not been saying my
Speaker 1: face h because I have COVID and I look flushed
Speaker 1: in the face. I don't feel like Donna make up.
Speaker 1: I am laying around my house wiggless, walking around my
Speaker 1: house wiggless. I just do not feel like myself. This
Speaker 1: ship has been kicking my ass up and down my house. Sweetheart,
Speaker 1: Where did I get it from? Who the fuck knows?
Speaker 1: I travel? I had just came back from Colleen, Texas.
Speaker 1: I did a meet and Greek. I just started doing
Speaker 1: meet and greets again, you know, ever since they lifted
Speaker 1: the mandate of wearing masks. I said, okay, listen, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just give the people what they want and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start doing meet and greets again. So I didn't
Speaker 1: meet and Greek. I could have very well got it
Speaker 1: in Texas. I could have very well gotten it when
Speaker 1: I landed, because when I came back, I had started
Speaker 1: going out, you know, I had started, you know, I've
Speaker 1: I've been in d C and shipped around motherfucker's all
Speaker 1: types of ship. There could be no way of me
Speaker 1: knowing who exactly gave it to me, but I do
Speaker 1: know that everyone needs to protect themselves. And I am
Speaker 1: certainly sure that I am getting the vaccine. And now, listen,
Speaker 1: I was one of those people who was against it, like,
Speaker 1: you know, oh my god, I don't want it. I
Speaker 1: don't want it. I don't want now. I've never had
Speaker 1: a flu shot, you know what I'm saying. And I've
Speaker 1: had the flu. I've actually went on stage with the flu,
Speaker 1: if I can remember it right. I did Comedy Zone
Speaker 1: and Raleigh, North Carolina. I don't know if that's exactly right,
Speaker 1: but I believe doing the Comedy Zone and Raleigh, North
Speaker 1: Carolina doing my show with the flu just like Jordan,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I guess you can
Speaker 1: call me Michael Jordan the Comedy. But this is different.
Speaker 1: This is very, very much different. I've never ever been
Speaker 1: unable to taste, not smell anything. You know. I have
Speaker 1: crazy headaches, you know, all day. The ship affects me crazy.
Speaker 1: You know. I got body aches, you know. Um, I
Speaker 1: get cold and then I get hot. I get cold
Speaker 1: and then I get hot. I'm deeply congested. The only
Speaker 1: thing I do not have a is a sore throat.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you guys, this ship hurts and it's
Speaker 1: nothing to play with. I have a child, I have
Speaker 1: fans to go around. I have to be well, so
Speaker 1: I have to get the vaccine. I I am a
Speaker 1: person that travel a lot. And then not only do
Speaker 1: I travel, I have a lot of contact with people,
Speaker 1: you know, physical contact. People see me, run up to me,
Speaker 1: give me a hug. A girl told me in the airport,
Speaker 1: I don't care. I will catch COVID for you, baby.
Speaker 1: I don't want you to catch it. That was before
Speaker 1: I had it. Baby, I'm telling you now, if you
Speaker 1: are listening, if you're the girl who told me that,
Speaker 1: I would never want you to get COVID. Never, because
Speaker 1: it's not as simple as you think. No, I do
Speaker 1: not feel like I'm about to die. But I am
Speaker 1: at the sickest point that I have ever been in
Speaker 1: my life. No, I don't feel good. I'm having stomach pains.
Speaker 1: It's all kinds of fucking symptoms, and everybody's symptoms are different. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm going to get the vaccine. No, I am not
Speaker 1: forcing it on anybody. But if you can do your
Speaker 1: part and you want to start living your life the
Speaker 1: way that you used to live your life and not
Speaker 1: have to be scared of catching COVID, the vaccine definitely
Speaker 1: lowers your chances. And I am going to get it
Speaker 1: because I got more shows to do, I got more
Speaker 1: people to come in contact with. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Protect yourself. Another thing I noticed that people do. People
Speaker 1: will be diagnosed with COVID and they will not tell
Speaker 1: anyone and still go out around people. That is very selfish.
Speaker 1: I could never do that. I know people who have
Speaker 1: had COVID and still went out to party around other
Speaker 1: people with no masks or anything. I've been in my
Speaker 1: house for the past seven days. No, it is not fun,
Speaker 1: but I'm doing what i have to do so i
Speaker 1: can do my part social distance. Wash your hands, were
Speaker 1: your masks, especially if you're not vaccinated. Sanitize your hands
Speaker 1: if you have no soap and water, sanitized. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you it makes a good difference. Sanitize your door knobs,
Speaker 1: your handles, your car, your staring will if you're a
Speaker 1: person who shake hands, try to give more hugs. Hold
Speaker 1: your breath when you go in for the hug. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. All types of stuff like that.
Speaker 1: That ship matters, okay, and listen. I have a very
Speaker 1: strong immune system. I take vitamins every day, my one
Speaker 1: of days, my Elderberry, you know, Vitamin C, vitamin D,
Speaker 1: sea moss. I take a teaspoon of sea moss every day.
Speaker 1: Even with all of that, I still contracted COVID nineteen. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's hard being isolated from the rest of the world. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's hard being away from my son. It really is hard.
Speaker 1: But I'm doing what i have to do, and I'm
Speaker 1: also keeping myself busy. I'm writing comedy. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: create content so when I do come up out of
Speaker 1: this thing, I can make nice videos for you guys.
Speaker 1: I can give y'all what y'all been missing. I'm packing
Speaker 1: up my clothes because I'm moving out of my house.
Speaker 1: I'm moving into a new condo. So yes, I'm keeping
Speaker 1: myself busy, trying my very best. Another thing, y'all know,
Speaker 1: I have a little frenchie. He's one and a half.
Speaker 1: For some reason, my dog is experience and seeing the
Speaker 1: same symptoms that I am. He's not eating in three days,
Speaker 1: and I honestly believe in my heart it's because he
Speaker 1: can't smell it. My dog is greedy. Now, as soon
Speaker 1: as you put a bowl of food down this little
Speaker 1: motherfucker's he's gonna go and attack it, demolish the food.
Speaker 1: He hasn't touched his food in three days. I honestly
Speaker 1: believe I gave my dog COVID. Now A long time ago.
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all remember this, but I was
Speaker 1: on Live with Charlemagne, and Charlemagne told me that dogs
Speaker 1: can catch COVID. A dog can't give you COVID, but
Speaker 1: you can give a dog COVID. They can catch it. Now.
Speaker 1: I do believe that to be true because he hasn't
Speaker 1: drink anything as well. I honestly just believe that he's
Speaker 1: not hungry because he can't smell it. Now. Their immune
Speaker 1: systems are even stronger than ours. However, their symptoms still
Speaker 1: affect them greatly. So I'm taking Bain to the vet
Speaker 1: as soon as I get well. I'm gonna just try
Speaker 1: to keep getting him to eat, keep getting him to
Speaker 1: drink water. I'm saying this to bring awareness to the
Speaker 1: fact that you can give COVID to your pets as well,
Speaker 1: So be very very careful. If you love me, you'll
Speaker 1: listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back. Now.
Speaker 1: If you've ever had COVID, then you know it gets lonely,
Speaker 1: and so you would love for people to check on you.
Speaker 1: You feel good when people want to know how you're doing.
Speaker 1: Who's checking on me? My mom? The guy who I
Speaker 1: could have given COVID to, he checks on me every day,
Speaker 1: all day throughout the day. You know, I have a
Speaker 1: couple of industry friends that check on me. My little
Speaker 1: sister and one of my girlfriends check on me every day.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about calling this bitch was really get on
Speaker 1: the goddamn plane to fly here to fucking check on
Speaker 1: me in person. I'm like, girl, you got two beautiful
Speaker 1: babies that you cannot take COVID back to. I would
Speaker 1: not even let you do that, but it feels good
Speaker 1: to know who's there for you and who aren't. Because
Speaker 1: I have friends who live here in Baltimore, even family members.
Speaker 1: You know who we're really sick who who thought they
Speaker 1: had COVID I'm talking about. I was going around these
Speaker 1: motherfucker's bringing them ship, checking on them, calling them and everything.
Speaker 1: It's hard to get the motherfucking text back from some
Speaker 1: of them motherfucker's. You understand what I'm saying, Like, I
Speaker 1: really got a little attitude about that, And I could
Speaker 1: have went online and and and invented and said, oh
Speaker 1: I got COVID, y'all. I'm not looking for sympathy, No,
Speaker 1: I am not. I am letting y'all know this because
Speaker 1: y'all need to be aware of what y'all need to do.
Speaker 1: Y'all need to be aware that COVID is still the
Speaker 1: funk out here, very much out here. You understand what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Just because we don't have to wear masks
Speaker 1: any fucking more does not mean COVID is gone. Just
Speaker 1: because we don't have to wear masks everywhere anymore does
Speaker 1: not mean COVID does not exist. Just because the world
Speaker 1: is opening up does not mean we cannot still catch COVID. Yes,
Speaker 1: COVID is very much still out here and still alive, y'all.
Speaker 1: And I need for y'all to understand that what I
Speaker 1: do thank God for is letting me contract COVID at
Speaker 1: the right time, because I have no shows. By the
Speaker 1: time I do my next show, which is in Arlington, Texas,
Speaker 1: July eighth and ninth, I should be free of COVID.
Speaker 1: You know, I will be free of COVID. So I
Speaker 1: do thank God for that. It didn't come in between
Speaker 1: any of my money. I didn't have to fly anywhere
Speaker 1: for any TV jobs or anything like that. Nothing. It
Speaker 1: didn't come between anything, and so I do thank God
Speaker 1: for that. This also gives me time to sit down
Speaker 1: and reflect on how I can improve my set, because
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I'm gonna talk about this ship on stage.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about how it affected me and and
Speaker 1: some some funny parts and everything I would make me
Speaker 1: see who the funk is there and who ain't because
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I really do got to my fucking
Speaker 1: attitude about that ship. I'm talking about what my cousin
Speaker 1: thought she had COVID. Oh, I was up and down
Speaker 1: her motherfucking call logue when my brother there thought he
Speaker 1: had fucking COVID. I visited him and his fucking house.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about what I came to his house. I
Speaker 1: bought him balloons, I bought him chocolate. I bought him
Speaker 1: um plush socks because his toes get cold, and Ship.
Speaker 1: I bought him medicine. I bought him plush blankets and ship.
Speaker 1: I'm a good motherfucking person. Here, I go texting this
Speaker 1: motherfucker and I don't get a texting to the next
Speaker 1: day motherfucker's. And I know my fans who are listening
Speaker 1: right now. If y'all would have known that I had it,
Speaker 1: then y'all would have been checking on me. So I
Speaker 1: do appreciate the support and the fact that I know
Speaker 1: that y'all would have done that for me, you know,
Speaker 1: but this is not a sympathy card. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: pull none of that because I don't want any of that.
Speaker 1: I just want you all to know, covid is still
Speaker 1: out here. Okay. Now, we got a commercial and if
Speaker 1: you click off of this podcast, I swear I'm gonna
Speaker 1: beat your ass. Listen, so that will be no jest.
Speaker 1: Fix my mess because I'm the one with the goddamn
Speaker 1: mess right now now. I'm trying to get through this
Speaker 1: ship right now. So I'm just letting y'all know, ain't
Speaker 1: no mess for me. What I do want to do
Speaker 1: is current news. Okay. So for those who did not know,
Speaker 1: the BET Awards came on Sunday this past Sunday, to
Speaker 1: be exact, and I loved how beautiful and black it was.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Taraji p Henson, one of the best
Speaker 1: hosts of the BET Awards that I've seen since Monique.
Speaker 1: I love, love loved watching Taraji p Henson's outfit changes
Speaker 1: and all her beautiful messages, all of her strong, powerful,
Speaker 1: heartfelt messages to black women. I love the message behind
Speaker 1: the Awards and how it was about the power behind
Speaker 1: black women, the power that we have, the power that
Speaker 1: we hold. I loved everything from Kirk Franklin's open with
Speaker 1: Little Baby you know the song that they got together,
Speaker 1: to the DMX tribute The d m X tribute was beautiful,
Speaker 1: it was powerful. I loved it. And last but not leave,
Speaker 1: they honored the Queen herself, Queen Latif for the beautiful black,
Speaker 1: full figure Queen, and I loved how she finally, finally,
Speaker 1: final love, acknowledged her sexuality. At the end of her speech,
Speaker 1: she said, happy Pride. She's so graceful. I love her,
Speaker 1: and she's so classy. She's the epitome of what a
Speaker 1: strong black woman is and what a strong black woman
Speaker 1: supposed to be. And listen, y'all know I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: me if I didn't say this. The only segment I
Speaker 1: did not like about the BET Awards was when they
Speaker 1: had the cast of Tyler Perry's Sisters. Nice show. I
Speaker 1: watched it a lot, and I love all the actresses
Speaker 1: on there. I did not like how they made them girls.
Speaker 1: And I say made because I know these were not
Speaker 1: their words. The writers that bonnets are okay to wear outside. Now. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the funk everybody's problem is. What
Speaker 1: moniques and she came out and said, sweet babies, don't
Speaker 1: wear your fucking bonnets outside. Now listen, if y'all can
Speaker 1: have strong opinions, about wearing them outside. Why the funk
Speaker 1: can't she have her strong opinion about not wearing them? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: real ship, we can do better than that. No, a
Speaker 1: bonnet is not meant for you to wear outside. No,
Speaker 1: it's not. I don't give a funk what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: And I say in a segment that Fox Sold posted
Speaker 1: where Tammy Roman was talking to Monique and m Tammy
Speaker 1: was talking to her, you know, and she was saying,
Speaker 1: you know what a bonnet is, Tammy, like, y'all know what,
Speaker 1: y'all know what it is. Tammy kept on like trying
Speaker 1: to fix the question a certain way, like, well whoa no, no,
Speaker 1: now what if? But but but what if? But what if? Tammy?
Speaker 1: No the bonnet? No baby, no, baby no, no. I
Speaker 1: understand that you are the queen of bonnet chronicles. That's great,
Speaker 1: that's that's amazing. That's something that you created. Great, that's fine.
Speaker 1: Do that. But Monique is saying something totally different, and
Speaker 1: you know what she's saying. You know exactly what she's saying. Tammy,
Speaker 1: you don't have to ask the question eighty different ways
Speaker 1: to get the same man, because she said what she said. No,
Speaker 1: we don't got to wear that ship in the airports. No,
Speaker 1: we don't got to wear that ship outside to the
Speaker 1: store now to reach his own by all means, if
Speaker 1: you want to do that, should do it. But a
Speaker 1: bonnet is not a fucking hat. It's a scarf. It's
Speaker 1: like a scarf, it's it's a nice's a part of
Speaker 1: night attire. It's night garment. Like, I don't understand why
Speaker 1: people are so bent out of fucking shape because she
Speaker 1: said we shouldn't wear them outside. I'll talk about my
Speaker 1: your business, which I don't remember the last time we
Speaker 1: have a mind that our fucking business. Not with the
Speaker 1: internet that we got today, nobody minds their business. And
Speaker 1: like she said, us as black women are her business.
Speaker 1: And it really offends me as a black woman who's
Speaker 1: a part of a culture so big that we really
Speaker 1: try to tear down Monique for voicing that. Y'all act
Speaker 1: like she coming at us, y'all, acting like she's saying,
Speaker 1: y'all some ghetto ass bitches, y'all, the the like she's
Speaker 1: downing us or something. She gave her opinion, just like
Speaker 1: we give our opinions every fucking day. It's okay for
Speaker 1: someone to not feel the same way you feel, but
Speaker 1: don't tear them down or degrade them for not feeling
Speaker 1: the same way you feel. A bonnet is a night hat.
Speaker 1: You wear that ship the bid you get up, and
Speaker 1: you take it the funk off before you leave out
Speaker 1: your house. That's how I feel about it. So I
Speaker 1: second everything Monique says about that ship. And again I
Speaker 1: also second getting the vaccine if you want to be
Speaker 1: at your healthiest point and stay away from COVID. Not
Speaker 1: saying you cannot catch COVID with the vaccine, because I
Speaker 1: know people who have, but their symptoms are nothing like
Speaker 1: mine right now. It's just like if you have the
Speaker 1: flu shot, it lowers the risk of you having severe
Speaker 1: symptoms when you catch the flu. You understand what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and just like that, I'm gonna end it on today.
Speaker 1: Please wear your masks, sanitize, wash your hands. Get antibacterial
Speaker 1: so Every soap is not good to wash your hands
Speaker 1: to prevent bacteria. Anti bacterial soap is. Make sure you
Speaker 1: sanitize your staring wheels, like I said, sanitize your door
Speaker 1: knobs and anywhere you touch. Sanitize. Do not shake people's hands.
Speaker 1: That's normalized hugging each other and holding your breath when
Speaker 1: you do it. Or give a nigga pound, give a
Speaker 1: nigga elbow, get in, get out. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and I shall shake this ship off and be bad.
Speaker 1: I love y'all. Make sure y'all tune in next week,
Speaker 1: hump Day, every hump Day, and then my deepest pam
Speaker 1: Boys piece, Carefully Reckless, is a production of I Heart
Speaker 1: Radio and The Black Effect. For more podcasts from My
