But in real life, life 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.480 got real. I had a bit of a health scared 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.600 with my grandmother who spent the night at my home 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.640 the day before yesterday, and it freaked me out.

We talked 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.559 about that on that episode, so please go take a listen. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.880 It is such a beautiful thing because you get to 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.920 watch them experience life and you know, get get their 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.759 flowers and just everything they put into like you watch 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.800 them get out of it and get to enjoy it. 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.840 But at the same time, it is such a crazy 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.720 uh like mental excuse my language, but I have to 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.960 say it this way. It's such a crazy mental mind 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.160 fuck to watch people you love get older at the 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.320 same time because health becomes a thing, and you know, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.480 especially if they're not like married, or they don't have 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.160 a life partner, whatever the case may be, it's just 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.160 such a weird space to be in. So I was 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.080 dealing with that in real time, and we talked a 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.760 bit about it, which really helped me be able to 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.760 get through the episode. Yes, so if you guys don't 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:00.640 hear it in my voice and just in my my energy, 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.880 I'm feeling a lot better today. I pray and I 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.200 just decided to do as much as I could and 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.480 just know that God got us. Okay, my grandmother she 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.600 knew that I was like really upset, so she's been 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.880 calling me since then, just checking in, like are you okay, 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.480 I'm okay, okay. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.880 So behind the scenes of the Grind, things were a 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.280 little shaky, but I'm feeling a lot. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.280 Better today if we're checking in. Now, let's get on 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:32.160 into the latest. Wow, there's a lot to talk about 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.800 with this story. So first up in the Latest, Drew Ski, 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:42.079 comedian Drew Ski, he'dne pissed the people off. Okay, Now, 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.520 let me just say that anytime somebody makes fun of 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.600 anything in the church, there's always somebody that's upset. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.359 You're either upset. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.480 Because you're one of them church going folk who don't 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.160 believe the church. And when I say the church, I 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.840 don't physically mean God, I don't like you know, I'm 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:06.760 talking about the physical uh place, like the church itself, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.320 physical place itself, but also the community. So the people 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:11.560 that you meet in the church, and the people who 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.600 run the church, work in the church, all that stuff. Right, 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.280 If you're one of those people who don't think any 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.360 of those people can do anything wrong, you get upset 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.240 when people laugh and joke about the church. If you're 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.760 one of those people who y'all know them people. Everybody 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.359 got at least one or two in their family where 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.560 it's like they kind of grew up in church and 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.119 then they had like one thing that happened to them 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.320 in church. And I don't mean like nothing, because you 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.480 don't know something is going on sometimes in these churches. 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.720 I mean like, uh, you know, maybe they heard something 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.720 they didn't like, or the pastor because this happens denounce 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.160 something that they you know, believe in, or you know, 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:47.640 the way that they live in their life or whatever. 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.800 So now they hate all things God, religion. They're just 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.800 they're they're universe people, right, see one of those people, 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.119 or you're just one of those people who grew up 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.720 you know, like a lot of us. Did I know, 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.120 I'm one of these people. I'm not mad at this 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.920 skit though I thought the skit was funny as hell. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.160 I'm one of those people who grew up in the church, 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.560 grew up in a very faith based family and home. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.400 So from the elders, you just don't play with certain things, 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.800 and church is one of them. So Drewski has a 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.920 lot of people having a lot of conversations right now 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.160 because he dropped a skit via his Instagram and on 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.800 his social media platforms all about the Mega Church and 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.600 some of the things that go down let's that's what 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:31.160 I'm sad. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.160 I'm gonna have Wanda stand up here, Wanda please. Wanda 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.159 told us earlier this month that she cannot have a 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.800 baby anymore. So I impregnated her with the word of God. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.080 I'm going to impregnate everyone with the word of God. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.560 You don't gonna get pregnant with the word of God. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.000 Don't won't get pregnant with the world of God. Don't 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:07.600 gonna get pregnant with the I had somebody in the 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.400 congregation asked why I'm wearing Christian to York and Christian 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.760 lupid Because I'm a Christian and I walk in the 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:19.520 blood of Give them some prey. I'm a question part 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.080 and I'm walk in the blood. I give them some pain. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:26.799 Give them. 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:33.159 It's the subtitles. It's the subtitles on the the the video, 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.320 the that appear like Snapchat for me. So Drew Ski 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.800 on a surface level, right, takes some of the big 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.800 things that happen to church. So you have ties, you 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:46.320 have offering, you have the prayer, like the prayers for 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.000 people in the church. So when he brought the lady 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.159 up and basically like those prayers for those miracles, and 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.480 you know how like there's that time in church where 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.360 like you do like church announcements, right, and they talk 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.680 to you about this person was going through this and 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.120 then survived this, and we pray this, and you know, 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.400 he does all of that, even the prayer requests at 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.200 the end of the video where people are asking for 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.840 the pastor to pray for their rives. There, you know, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.080 all the things, the fundamental things that go down in 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.919 church where people come to praise, to wordship, write. 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:17.360 All that stuff. 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.960 But the difference in Jewski skit is he leans in 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.520 to the megachurch vibe. So at the megachurch is you 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.479 have And there's been a lot of pastors who went 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:36.200 viral for the theatrics in their church flying through the ceiling, uh, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.400 you know, just even in how they preach, leaning into 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.440 things that are like pop culture and culturally relevant, like 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:44.599 can you help me? 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.039 I said, baby, can you help me? Then he's like, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.000 but I'm gonna do the church version of it. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:49.320 Right. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.800 A lot of churches flipping hip hop and rap songs 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.120 on its head have went viral as well. And whenever 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:01.000 these certain things happen, people always have the commonnversation about 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.400 whether these things help the church, and a lot of 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:09.200 people who you know have younger congregations will say they 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.040 do because you attract a younger audience, you keep that 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.760 audience there. It's hard to get people in church. People 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:20.120 want a church from YouTube now, especially young people. And 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.720 then there's the other side of people who were like no, 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.760 because if you're coming and you're coming for God, and 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.880 you're coming for the Word, and you're coming for the deliverance, 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.480 you don't need a production like this, right. And then 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:37.320 there's always the conversation about money in the church, and 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.560 Drew Ski leaned into that. 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.840 You are raising funds for a project in Zimbabwe. Yes, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.200 we are trying to get a congregation over in Africa. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.120 Hey man. We wanted to raise four million dollars for 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:58.320 that iliyah that needs to appear today. We are not 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:02.760 letting anyone leave until we reach out gold Amen. Hello Loui, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.880 your life savings here. Give him some praise for that. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.360 Give it this life savings other. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:11.040 Now. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.120 I talked about a lot of pastors who went viral 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.760 for the way that they went about money and collecting 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:21.760 money within their churches. Pastor Marvin Whinings more recently was 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.280 a pastor that I covered people were very upset at 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:25.760 this moment that happened in his church. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:26.560 Hi ROBERTA. 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.320 McCoy giving faith and standing unity with the vision of 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.760 perfecting church or sowing this seed of one thousand dollars 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.720 plus two hundred and thirty five dollars and receiving the 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.280 blessings to come to all that participating. 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.480 Now that that's only twelve hundred dollars. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:47.000 Yes, y'all not listening to what I'm saying. If you 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.920 have a thousand plus one thousand. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.319 Okay, I'm gonna work. 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.320 On the other hand, well, that ain't what I asked 0:08:53.360 --> 0:09:00.520 you to do. Now, I don't know. People are up arms. 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.000 Drew Ski and this skit have. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.800 Been trending across x all day long. Honestly since he 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.000 first dropped the skit. Last night, I saw that Drewski 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.920 posted that this video has now become one of his 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.760 videos that has over one hundred thousand comments right on Instagram. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.800 But I spoke to a rep from Jewski who tells 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:25.600 me this is his most popular video. The video, y'all, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.240 at this point, hasn't even been up twenty four hours. 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.080 Drewski posted this video last night at eight o'clock PM. 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:34.920 I'm gonna give you guys the numbers. 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.600 So a rep for Drewski tells me that this is 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.600 that not even one of his most popular videos, that 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.600 this is his most popular videos. 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:44.560 This video in less than twenty. 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.400 Four hours, has thirty four million views in eighteen hours. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.480 And I'm trying to explain to you guys. A lot 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.600 of it is the discourse around the video. People were upset, 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.199 people are not upset. A big part of it, and 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.280 from what I was seeing online is there's a lot 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.200 of people who feel like you shouldn't play with the church, 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.400 that you shouldn't discuss certain things. 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:07.280 But I feel like. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:13.160 If these things are happening in some churches, right, not 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.599 all because, not all because I do like at the 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.840 end of the Drew Skies video the way that the 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.720 pastor of the church is portrayed as like there's money hungry. 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.960 You know, I rock the red bottoms, I'm driving away 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.520 in the car. I don't really care about the people. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.640 This is all just a business. But I mean, all 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.400 of this stuff stems from somewhere, Like none of this 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.360 is made up. This stuff is really happening in some churches. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.960 Drewski posted this video of this pastor flying down from 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.000 the ceiling. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:43.800 To preach to a church. 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.920 If it's really happening, Like, why are we upset that 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.880 someone puts it together and makes it funny. One of 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.640 the things that I'll never understand about conversations about church 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.080 is the sensitivity of it. And y'all can correct me 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.120 if I'm wrong. I'm not a pastor whatsoever, but I 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.040 do attend the church shout out to seize the greatness. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.360 My pastor would never fly in from the ceiling, just wouldn't. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.680 But back to my point, if this is something that 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.360 is actually happening, why are we upset when people put 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.400 together and have conversations about it. I think one of 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:23.199 the things that really distracts people from getting to God. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:25.679 It's not the theatrics. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.559 It's not you know, someone sitting in the church and 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.920 trying to figure out who's really here for God and 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.840 who's really sent by God to let people versus who's 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.760 here to be manipulative and just make money and you know, 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.920 take money and all the things. But I think it's 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:45.040 the judgment of like maybe some people like the theatrics. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:46.240 I remember my first time. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.640 Pulling up to a megachurch in La I had never 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.640 been to one before. All the churches I've been to 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.760 in Delaware prior to that were smaller churches, and even 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.320 if they were bigger in congregation, it just wasn't what 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.760 this was. I went to one church LA in LA 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.960 for the first time. Pastor Torrey and Sarah James Roberts 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.000 used to be the pastors there. They're now over in 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:13.920 Dallas at another Potterhouse church. They took over for Pastor T. D. Jakes, 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.040 who is Sarah Jakes's dad. But this is when they 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.960 were preaching there. This was some years ago, and I 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.080 remember Number one seeing metal detectors and I was like, what, 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:25.720 you have metal detectors at a church? 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.479 But what blew my mind? 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:32.000 They have valet. They have valet, like you could valet 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.679 your car outside of the church. And I don't know 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.720 if one church is still like this, but you could 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.559 valet your car outside of the church. At this point, 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.400 I've never used the valet system there, so I don't 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:42.840 know if it was paid for or if it was 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.160 not paid like if you had to pay or if 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:45.280 you did it, or if it was just more of 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:50.120 like a parking like customary service. But I remember my 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.280 first day walking up, and when I saw that that 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.120 they had somebody that could park your car for you, 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.679 at that point in time, it threw me off. I 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.800 was like, is this, Like is this the church I 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:06.200 shouldn't be going to? And then something in me was 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.400 just like, you're in La. You know this is a 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.600 bigger church. And I had heard of the church online before, 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.920 so I'm like, you know, you never know who they're 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.920 trying to accommodate by having something like this. And also, 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.800 don't let the physical things that you might not be 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.600 used to or agree with stop you from getting to work. 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.360 That's my point, is like, if we really focus on 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.800 getting to God, just pour your own poison, pick where 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.559 you want to do it at, and focus on whatch 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.640 I got going on over there. People are always so 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.800 upset and so not upset, but people are always so 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.680 touchy about these church things as if they don't happen, 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.760 but they do, and because they do, low key it's 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:47.080 fair game in my opinion, right, So I go into 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.840 the church, and I love the church. I was at 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:54.080 one church my whole all of my eight years in La, 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.680 I was at one church, and I'm so happy that 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.560 I did not allow what was different and what I 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.200 wasn't used to stop me from getting to where I 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.040 needed to get to when it came to my relationship 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.120 with God. And once I got to know the people, 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.640 not even got to know, but once I got to 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.400 because that is a big church. It's hard to kind 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.640 of get to know the leadership and all that stuff 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.480 in a church like one church La, especially if you're 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.840 if you're new to the church. But once I was 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.760 there enough and I begin to see just the different 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.360 people that would attend the church. Right, So you have 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.800 Beyonce's mom coming on any given Sunday, and Miss Tina 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.320 be in church and she's there most of the time. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.000 She's not there with security, just different things. I begin 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.040 to realize, like, Okay, this is not about trying to 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.920 look elite or a way to collect money. This is 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.920 about understanding who you have in your church and just 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:46.840 trying to make sure everybody's good and everybody's protected, which 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.560 is why there's also meta detectors, which again too that 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.360 threw me off girl when I first saw it, But 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.320 even right now in this moment looking back at that, 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.240 I'm like, yo, people run into churches and shoot them up. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.080 Imagine if you I have the metal detector from allowing 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.720 you in the church because you're used to walking in 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:07.120 the churches that don't see the need for that. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.080 The distraction would have been so real. I don't know. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.960 I think the skit was funny. I think we let 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.480 it be funny and we move on. But if we 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:17.840 really being honest. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:20.560 This stuff happens in the church. 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.200 And I've reached out to a few faith leaders who 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.880 you know, I was unable to get someone to come 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.480 on and make a comment. I didn't know this was 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.880 so touchy, did not know, but chot out the drewski though. 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:36.120 I mean he accomplished what I think he set out 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:40.520 to do. I mean there's conversations started, the engagement is real, 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.040 and now we move on, hopefully hopefully, And now we 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.600 move on because one thing that's not gonna happen. If 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.800 somebody is corrupt and they in the church, that person 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.240 gonna be corrupt until they not. If somebody is in 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.640 church with the wrong intentions, them intentions ain't gonna change. 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.920 Hopefully God get to them, but them intentions are not 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.200 gonna change. You just got to focus on being you, 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.560 understanding what you came to that church to take out 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:06.240 of it. And if it's not a right fit, just leave. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.920 If we're being honest, there is a business component to 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:16.200 anything that houses people, serves people, or provides any type 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.000 of product for people. I don't care if it is 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:23.000 a shelter. I don't care if it's a food bank 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.480 or a food shelter and a food desert, or if 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.720 it's a church. There is a business element to it. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.760 There has to be a business element to it, because 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.760 when you're inside of that church, you got to look up, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.720 you got lights, you got heat, you got comfortable chairs 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.640 to sit in, you know what I mean. And a 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:40.720 lot of times of people that are working in these 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.480 churches that are volunteering their how many churches are not 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.560 being paid. But when you do have a pastor that is, 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.960 you know, leading your church, they are being paid. Now 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.400 the thing. And I get it, people don't want to 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.480 be manipulated. Totally understand that. And I think it's nothing 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.760 wrong with calling out people when those things are happening. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.360 But why do can we as people act like this 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.800 stuff doesn't happen to church? Like why are we so 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.680 mad at Drew Skie. I saw somebody say that they 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:11.080 had to unfollow Drew ski for this skit because it 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.600 just felt demonic in their soul to watch it. So 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.520 now we don't know that there are pastors out there 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.760 that are very money hungry, that's walking in red bottoms 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.800 for all the wrong reasons. And like, y'all, this is 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:27.080 all real stuff, Like this is real, real things. Focus 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:28.960 on you and your church. If it's not happening where 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:29.720 you at, you good? 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.560 You know what I mean? You got, y'all, You're good. Now. 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.479 In other news, as we move right along, this segment 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.639 is all about the people being upset. Next up, in 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.479 the latest following Drew Ski, people are upset about the 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:51.600 autism barbie. Now, we talk so much about wanting diversity 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.520 and inclusion and all the things, and Mattel has tried 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.600 to do that with this line of barbies that they 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.560 call the Fashioniste the Barbies. So these barbies are not 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.800 only diverse in skin color and in look, but they're 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:08.320 also diverse in weight, they're diverse in disability, and the 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:13.119 people are upset. So yesterday, so honor so on one 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.919 of our previous episodes, please go check that out if 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.960 you guys get a chance, we talked about the fact 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.800 that Mattel dropped this autism Barbie, and with the autism 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.680 Barbie became a pink spinner. The autism Barbie also has 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.280 on really big headphones. All these things are because of 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.960 the sensory needs that go along with a person who 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.640 is living their life with autism. We also talked about 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.600 the clothing and the clothing being flowy and you know, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.639 just different sensory things when it came to like, you know, 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.840 various fabrics and how they touch your skin and they 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.840 on your skin if you are a person dealing with 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:52.600 certain levels of autism as well, y'all people are upset. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.560 They're saying, Mattel missed the mark. So we're gonna take 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.320 it to the streets, into the tweets and I'm an 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.080 tell you, guys, some of the things that the people 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:00.159 are saying, and I want to hear from you. 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:01.879 Let me know if y'all think that this is valid. 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.080 I honestly, and I said this in the episode when 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:10.520 we talked about this, when it originally dropped an autistic Barbie. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.520 To me, I'm like, how do you even know that 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.720 the Barbie is autistic? And then I looked into the 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:20.400 accessories and I'm like, okay. And CNN did a interview 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.600 with a girl. I'm gonna find her name, and that 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.280 is what made it registered to me, Like, Okay, autism 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.760 isn't just a isn't just a Look. There are things 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.520 that accompany, you know, people who are autistic that help 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.720 their life be a bit easier, the same way that 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:40.240 if you had a paraplegic barbie, the barbie would be 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.680 in a wheelchair and it would be very easy to spot, 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.680 but it would also add to visibility for people who 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.840 are also a paraplegic. 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:50.120 I don't know, I'm gonna get to the streets. 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.120 Let's take it to the streets and the tweets, which 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.520 is our segment where we take these pop culture segments 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:56.520 and we look at what. 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.560 Are y'all saying, Low riders, what are y'all talking about? 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.800 You call a treat?

I don't know doctor Jessica, 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:28.919 doctor Jessica Taylor, but I do know that her post 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.320 about the autistic Barbie is going viral, so she says, 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.479 autistic Barbie by Mattel just landed. 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:36.000 So let's get into it. 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:41.000 She is thin, conventionally attractive, feminine, long, straight haired, neatly 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.880 presented Barbie proportion with the mini dress and long legs. 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:49.040 And what makes her out as autistic headphones, a fidget spinner, 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.840 and I quote, a vacant look in her eye, according 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.760
