Speaker 1: Native Lampod is a production of iHeartRadio in partnership with
Speaker 1: Resent Choice Media.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3: Welcome, Welcome home, everybody. This is Native Lamppod. I'm your host,
Speaker 3: Angela Rye with our other host Andrew Gillim and Tiffany
Speaker 3: Cross and Hey, so we have a little mess from
Speaker 3: the d n C that we're going to talk about.
Speaker 3: This is uh after dark. You know, no name.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say anybody's name.
Speaker 3: More these clowns.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think we just start chronologically.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, now you have the floor.
Speaker 2: I will tell it. So this wasn't any of us,
Speaker 2: but I'm just telling the story of must be told exactly.
Speaker 3: Okay, it happened.
Speaker 1: Was what happened was we were in line going through
Speaker 1: security and this was somebody in front of us that
Speaker 1: it had something in their bag. So I do want
Speaker 1: to point out that in Illinois, marijuana is legal.
Speaker 2: You can possess you're.
Speaker 1: Not breaking the law, not a federal well, federally, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: marijuana is still listed as a Schedule one drug and
Speaker 1: considered illegal, which puts a lot of local municipalities at
Speaker 1: odds with the federal government. A lot of airports at odds.
Speaker 1: So really that is just a policy that I think
Speaker 1: needs to change, not even for people who use it,
Speaker 1: but for people who.
Speaker 2: Are impacted by it.
Speaker 1: It's an unnecessary thing for people to have to go
Speaker 1: through anyway. So I don't know the rules. Perhaps my lawyer,
Speaker 1: who is present with me, can weigh in. If you
Speaker 1: are on federal property, which I think the United Center
Speaker 1: was where everything was happening at the d NC, does
Speaker 1: it then become illegal. I don't know if the TSA
Speaker 1: finds it in your bag on an air force, but
Speaker 1: I'm saying that the airport is a TSA. They are
Speaker 1: a federal organization, even though the state, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're traveling to another state where it's legal front with it.
Speaker 1: I don't know all those rules. We weren't trying to
Speaker 1: find out it. So somebody in front of us had
Speaker 1: something in their bag and so normally they're not looking for.
Speaker 2: We allegedly that's what they started yelling out right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the magnetopaitis are looking for like magnet, looking
Speaker 4: for material, magnetic petic material.
Speaker 1: So when this person in front of us, when their
Speaker 1: bag was flagged, one of the officers pulled out and
Speaker 1: said what is this? And you could see that it
Speaker 1: was a j in a little tube, A.
Speaker 3: J for the people who don't don't know what that is.
Speaker 3: It was a joint in a clear glass container.
Speaker 4: To have something magnetic.
Speaker 1: They had a pop on and you know when the
Speaker 1: officer said what is this, I immediate we thought, oh, I
Speaker 1: bet that person one probably didn't know they had it
Speaker 1: in their bag, and two probably didn't know that the
Speaker 1: top was metal, because otherwise it would have gone through.
Speaker 2: You could have thought that was it would have gone
Speaker 2: through it no problem.
Speaker 3: Any know why they had to be right in front
Speaker 3: of us, But.
Speaker 2: I was crazy so great.
Speaker 4: I felt bad for them, but they had They were like,
Speaker 4: look that is mine.
Speaker 3: But we don't we don't, we don't, we don't know.
Speaker 3: We wanted to make sure that we were clear that
Speaker 3: it was not ours.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: But but what I love is how everybody kept a
Speaker 1: steady hand.
Speaker 2: Nobody was like right, oh my god, you know, everybody
Speaker 2: was like we.
Speaker 3: Were talking to them.
Speaker 4: We felt like, you know, we were with them, so
Speaker 4: we were like, that ain't his that I don't know
Speaker 4: where that came from. I was like, I ain't see it.
Speaker 4: I don't know, and was like, look, it was the
Speaker 4: exetllnal pocket. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Okay, so now let's move along. So here's the other
Speaker 3: shortly thereafter. I just want to it was good, Yes,
Speaker 3: me too, Andrew. After that was chilling us because Tiff
Speaker 3: saw Omerosa. Oh that was the only name. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: I mean to say her name, Andrew. She yeah, he
Speaker 3: does need to apologize because Tiff saw her, and then
Speaker 3: we said some things because we didn't know why she
Speaker 3: was there, Like you go to the rn c our show.
Speaker 3: It's interesting, So Andrew apologize yet.
Speaker 4: So let me give some perspective here. You know, we
Speaker 4: were we were closing out the show on one of
Speaker 4: these days, Tuesday, I think I think it was Monday.
Speaker 4: That wasn't it was Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Whenever you came over and said next to us.
Speaker 4: She came over because there was another co host. It
Speaker 4: was Tuesday. That was the only night that it was
Speaker 4: just the three of them.
Speaker 3: No, I came over at the end.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, because the over there, You're right Tuesday,
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right.
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you again. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: I said, sorry, did you say.
Speaker 4: When you're dead? Wrong? So I agree. We all agree.
Speaker 4: When you're dead wrong, you apologize.
Speaker 3: So things.
Speaker 4: We're asked by our host friend Angela to offer some
Speaker 4: reflections about the day, and we're all high on that,
Speaker 4: and then you know, as happened. Sometimes. I was speaking
Speaker 4: and giving my reflections on the experience and I look
Speaker 4: over and I see they're hitting each other like each
Speaker 4: other should. Yeah, y'all were y'all were doing this tag
Speaker 4: team and hit you too. And then you look at
Speaker 4: the video, y'all because it's indisputable. And then what happens
Speaker 4: is I say, what's going on now? Like name, such
Speaker 4: person is taking pictures of us? Such person who works?
Speaker 3: Who is that doing?
Speaker 4: So I said, y'all, I'm you know, we're in our show.
Speaker 4: So they're like, I'm sorry. They come back to the show.
Speaker 4: A few moments later, not very many moments later, it's
Speaker 4: again you see see you see you. I'm like, what
Speaker 4: is God?
Speaker 2: I said, you know what we signed, y'all know.
Speaker 4: The same person, except it's a new experience for you.
Speaker 4: So you know, we got to interrupt again the show
Speaker 4: and so's not of her.
Speaker 2: You were like, tell me, why would you think that
Speaker 2: kept in your life?
Speaker 4: Because I don't ever recall seeing you all pay attention
Speaker 4: to anybody.
Speaker 1: Somebody don't like it's tap dance in front of you
Speaker 1: and taking pictures of you.
Speaker 2: You may feel pictures about the whole time. No, but
Speaker 2: why I trust them? I don't trust her. I agree,
Speaker 2: she's still concerned.
Speaker 3: She still love.
Speaker 4: That the Feds look And this is without regard to whomever.
Speaker 3: What about I got followed in the elevator.
Speaker 2: Let's get to that. Let's get to that. That's what
Speaker 2: I want to talk about. So I got followed.
Speaker 4: I want to do people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so number one, I think that we learned that
Speaker 3: we feel real pedestrian, but we're not real pedestrian. And
Speaker 3: Jay r J. Andrew's wife just told her, just like
Speaker 3: y'all be moving like you not who you are. You
Speaker 3: need to follow Sometimes that catches. Yeah, we definitely need
Speaker 3: to all.
Speaker 4: We need to go in groups, go in groups, always going.
Speaker 3: Because I went on the elevator by myself, allegedly, but
Speaker 3: I was on the phone talking to my manager and
Speaker 3: another guy got on the elevator and he was like,
Speaker 3: you've been calling me crazy DC for ten years And I.
Speaker 4: Was like, what who are you?
Speaker 3: Who are you? And he said his name which shall
Speaker 3: not be repeated. Actually don't remember his name again, said.
Speaker 4: I got it, I got it.
Speaker 3: She only got the first name.
Speaker 4: No, I got both. I know what I know to do.
Speaker 3: Oh, you searched it, Okay. So anyway that this man
Speaker 3: works in a financial services company. He's a minister and
Speaker 3: my friend's church, come to find out. But I haven't
Speaker 3: been there and sometimes so I don't know him. And
Speaker 3: it was just a whole mess. And he was you've
Speaker 3: been calling me crazy, and DC call me to b
Speaker 3: wergeing off the elevator.
Speaker 1: I think it's important to say, you know, because don't
Speaker 1: let me just let me just say, as men on
Speaker 1: an elevator with a man who was speaking to you aggressively,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to make light of this. A
Speaker 1: man who was speaking to you aggressively. Angela had already
Speaker 1: hit her floor because I was like, why would you
Speaker 1: like get off on your floor?
Speaker 2: She had already hit it. He came on after her,
Speaker 2: and he's said.
Speaker 3: He would have got off, I would have got back
Speaker 3: on another O.
Speaker 1: Yes, but he's speaking to her aggressively, and then when
Speaker 1: she's getting off the elevator, he says, bitch. Now, imagine
Speaker 1: as a woman, it's one thirty in the morning. You
Speaker 1: buy yourself on this elevator. It's not very populated in
Speaker 1: the halls. Some crazy person's on here talking crazy to you,
Speaker 1: and you getting off the elevator you don't know they
Speaker 1: about to get off with you, and they say, bitch,
Speaker 1: that's a problem. So Angela tells us this story the
Speaker 1: next day, and Andrew's like, who.
Speaker 2: Is this dude? Like, we gonna google and were gonna
Speaker 2: look him up to see who he is.
Speaker 4: No, we were going to do something else, but we
Speaker 4: but first we.
Speaker 2: Had to know who he was and what he looked like.
Speaker 3: We were just gonna report, and we weren't gonna do
Speaker 3: anything threatning I was. I think, no, it just this
Speaker 3: is a recording. We are not I'm not saying.
Speaker 1: I was gonna cause physical violence, but I was going
Speaker 1: to do more than.
Speaker 2: Just report him.
Speaker 3: Well, he has been reported and hopefully his pastors talked
Speaker 3: to him and he's figured it out. But we did
Speaker 3: see him on the convention floor night.
Speaker 1: I asked Angela, point him out when you see him
Speaker 1: this is the night Yea, but I.
Speaker 3: Think froggy froggy not high. We were on the moment
Speaker 3: it was, but I think on that floor it was
Speaker 3: packed and it was high tension because you couldn't move,
Speaker 3: and it was stressful, and I was watching people.
Speaker 1: And all these tying around you. Literally, somebody would be
Speaker 1: like this on you, like.
Speaker 4: Move. Charlamage and I were standing next to each other.
Speaker 4: I look one way. Next thing I know, I look back.
Speaker 4: He's platform. This dude had got up on a bitcher
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 3: But no, the thing is the guy was there and
Speaker 3: he still had the crazy eyes. The funny thing is,
Speaker 3: how are you going to confront somebody crazily in an
Speaker 3: elevator at a crazy time to say you call me
Speaker 3: crazy and ten for ten years? Who I never know? You?
Speaker 3: You crazy for saying it, but you actually sound crazy
Speaker 3: doing it. That's interesting too, but I digre. The point
Speaker 3: is we saw crazy eyes on the floor and crazy eyes.
Speaker 3: When I saw him, I said, tip, that's him, and
Speaker 3: then Tiff said.
Speaker 4: I said.
Speaker 1: I've been ready and Peaches and herth came out.
Speaker 3: No they didn't. She didn't swing at nobody.
Speaker 2: I walked up to him.
Speaker 1: But okay, I'm being silly, but this is the truth
Speaker 1: of it. Fence that a man would put a woman
Speaker 1: in that position, and I do want people to know.
Speaker 2: You were not just talking to Angela.
Speaker 1: You're talking to me too, You talking to Andrew, You're
Speaker 1: talking to anybody who rocks with us. And so at
Speaker 1: this point Andrew is like we First of all, at
Speaker 1: this point we have gotten on Andrew's last nerve about
Speaker 1: ten times a day. So Andrew is with us, but
Speaker 1: he like, I need five five feet away from y'all,
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: He needed five hundred feet apparently.
Speaker 1: So I walked up to the guy on the floor
Speaker 1: because I wanted him to know it was not okay.
Speaker 1: And I said you better watch your mouth. And he
Speaker 1: said you don't know me. And I said you better
Speaker 1: watch your mouth. And so Lolo was with us, and
Speaker 1: lo Lo is like, you know, let's go. So we're moving,
Speaker 1: but I wanted him to know. I'm like, I wish
Speaker 1: he would. So he's behind us, like.
Speaker 3: Balloons are dropping.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's necessary.
Speaker 1: You would have done the same thing. I'm froggy. You
Speaker 1: was feeling froggy on the elevator. Now we all feeling froggy.
Speaker 1: So now and you would just.
Speaker 2: Angela because he knew better.
Speaker 1: So this is we not five seconds off this incident, okay.
Speaker 2: And then Angela is taking a picture with somebody.
Speaker 3: Yes, I just saw a former A former. Well he's
Speaker 3: still a friend, a friend who I worked on Capitol
Speaker 3: Hill with Darryl Doss. I will name check him. I
Speaker 3: love you, Daryl. I'm sorry we had We were trying
Speaker 3: to get our selfie and there was a fraud that
Speaker 3: was trying to like he just was in the picture,
Speaker 3: and it's like, can you please get out of our picture?
Speaker 1: Someone who has publicly harassed us, who's been saying ugly
Speaker 1: things about us, and someone who is has done and
Speaker 1: said fraudulent things with people we know.
Speaker 2: Is that fair to say?
Speaker 3: To get resources, you had to get resources from extract
Speaker 3: resources from the organizations that helped to fight against the
Speaker 3: thing that we talked about on our most recent podcast,
Speaker 3: voter fraud, Alleged voter fraud, voter fraud, intimidation, voter suppression,
Speaker 3: or voting rights protecting voting rights all across South organizations
Speaker 3: that do that work. This individual has taken money out
Speaker 3: of their hands to do whatever it is they want
Speaker 3: to do. I'm not naming one.
Speaker 4: Want to be in the picture, right, that's no.
Speaker 3: I didn't want him photo bombing me, So I just
Speaker 3: was like, can we wait a second, there's I don't
Speaker 3: take pictures with thieves in them. And then he didn't move,
Speaker 3: and I was like, this person took money from my friend.
Speaker 3: And then then he was like.
Speaker 4: What you said? What you said? So then I was like, why.
Speaker 3: My friend her money back? I named her, and then
Speaker 3: he was like, no, we got to have a conversation.
Speaker 3: And then Tip says, we're a walk.
Speaker 1: We're being escorted off the floor, and again he is
Speaker 1: aggressively pursuing Angela. So I held my hand out and
Speaker 1: if you're listening, bleep me and mute this part. But
Speaker 1: I said, no, you ain't got ship to say that, Angela,
Speaker 1: get the f away from us, and he is trying
Speaker 1: to push past me to get to Angela in a
Speaker 1: very aggressive way that made me uncomfortable. So I continue
Speaker 1: to yell. I don't know what I said at that point,
Speaker 1: but we were with Leonard.
Speaker 4: She carried away in somebody's arms, and she's still.
Speaker 1: No, no away, but just a person was aggressively pursuing Angela.
Speaker 3: And I was yelling, you're a fraud, You're a f
Speaker 3: and fraud, which is the truth. But also I'll just say,
Speaker 3: you know, thank God that Leonard's security was there to
Speaker 3: make sure that it didn't get any worse. He prevented
Speaker 3: the man from doing anything further. Lenard is a little
Speaker 3: bit taller than me, but he's very protective of all
Speaker 3: of us and wanted to make sure that this man
Speaker 3: was understanding that there was no conversation to be had
Speaker 3: with any women, and so did the security.
Speaker 1: But literally, why are you aggressively going after women that way?
Speaker 1: Do not aggressively approach these women? And he he did
Speaker 1: not listen. So and then at this point it's a
Speaker 1: melee guy like there are people around us, it's a
Speaker 1: whole wow.
Speaker 3: It looks crazy. And then he's feeling bad because there's
Speaker 3: literally we're robbing people of this really historic moment, and
Speaker 3: it's like for what. And I think part of it
Speaker 3: for me was like there were people even like, you know,
Speaker 3: Blue Vess walked up during our podcast, and you know,
Speaker 3: you have been like going above and beyond to try
Speaker 3: to get folks to not pay attention to this very
Speaker 3: important case, trying to ensure that Marilyn Moseby gets pardoned
Speaker 3: over a case that, sure, I disagree with the outcome
Speaker 3: of the case. I wish that that prosecutorial office didnt
Speaker 3: follow that, but that was in Maryland's work, you know,
Speaker 3: and for you to go above and beyond you're allegedly
Speaker 3: a justice reform advocate. But my only point is I
Speaker 3: got suspended in the seventh grade, and it was because.
Speaker 2: I'm making a point. I'm making a point.
Speaker 3: I got suspended the seventh grade, and it was for
Speaker 3: fighting a fight that wasn't mine. I am far more
Speaker 3: protective of the people in my life than I am
Speaker 3: for myself. It's probably something I need to work on
Speaker 3: in therapy. But I will just say I don't want
Speaker 3: to be at something as historic as the DNC and
Speaker 3: there's beefs popping up all around. Most of them were
Speaker 3: not ours. Most of them were not ours. But I
Speaker 3: do think that people need to be accountable for the
Speaker 3: things they say, especially when they're engaging in dangerous, toxic
Speaker 3: rhetoric and engaging in dirty, nasty work behavior. And I
Speaker 3: think those are the things that we're running. When I
Speaker 3: look back at what happened, I'm not pleased at how
Speaker 3: I engage with these folks. I think it could be
Speaker 3: done in better ways. But like also, there are some
Speaker 3: people I don't want to have a sit down conversation
Speaker 3: with because I don't think that you are mindful enough
Speaker 3: about your actions to care. I think some people are
Speaker 3: attention hos, you know, like they they're gonna do what
Speaker 3: they need to do to get attention. And I don't
Speaker 3: want to engage with you because you're Yeah, that's a
Speaker 3: nice way to put it to you know, I don't
Speaker 3: want to engage with you because there's no sincerity in
Speaker 3: what you're doing. You're just gonna do what you think
Speaker 3: is gonna go viral. And that's why it's funny blue
Speaker 3: best because your little tweets didn't get no traction.
Speaker 1: But I honestly, to me, whatever the reasoning behind it
Speaker 1: was is irrelevant to me. Whatever reason this person on
Speaker 1: the elevator had, whatever reason this person on the floor had,
Speaker 1: and pursuing you, whatever reason you know, somebody taking pictures up,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. If you are making me uncomfortable, if
Speaker 1: I can't go like this without touching you, you are
Speaker 1: infringing on my right to exist and it makes me
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. More so, it makes me feel in danger.
Speaker 1: So again to a PSA, do not put anyone in
Speaker 1: that position. And also, look, I think we're all intelligent people.
Speaker 1: You know, with intellectual curiosity here and that is how
Speaker 1: we show up. That is who we are for the
Speaker 1: most part. But like many in our community, there is
Speaker 1: another side, and we are you know, we work to
Speaker 1: check ourselves and you know, to sit across from people
Speaker 1: we disagree with and still maintain a collegial atmosphere. Once
Speaker 1: you cross a certain line, well now we're just two
Speaker 1: people with the problem with each other, and you're infringing
Speaker 1: on my right to exist. You don't want to put
Speaker 1: yourself or any of us in that situation. We are
Speaker 1: living in crazy times where people are absolutely batshit crazy
Speaker 1: out here. Don't conduct yourself that way. Don't put yourself
Speaker 1: or us in harm's way or make anybody feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: So or you're in conflict with me and I'm not aware,
Speaker 4: right and we're not from are and then now you
Speaker 4: we got beef, we got We don't have any of
Speaker 4: that because we don't know each other.
Speaker 3: Don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what who said what to me two
Speaker 1: years ago on social media. We're not looking at at
Speaker 1: things like that, like that's a I don't.
Speaker 4: Read comments, I ain't seeing them. I don't know it
Speaker 4: was interesting to then later learn about this other dude,
Speaker 4: last dude we're talking about, then went on and trashed
Speaker 4: us all through.
Speaker 2: And that was before the thing.
Speaker 3: What you are.
Speaker 4: But y'all to the hotel the day we checked in,
Speaker 4: and this very person embraces me, and I embraced it
Speaker 4: a full fledged rug.
Speaker 2: They get tweeted the same day.
Speaker 4: The insult is herald and I would never have known
Speaker 4: is whatever. No, it's all good. I mean, please, it
Speaker 4: is what it is. I feel worse about what happened
Speaker 4: because by the time y'all get to be I'm in
Speaker 4: the tonnel, I got ear plugs in, I'm listening to music.
Speaker 4: Even the people as they go by, I see them
Speaker 4: coming in my but I see something has gone down
Speaker 4: because I see the security guard is a little at
Speaker 4: you know, Emptop. I said, Tiff, what's up? You're like nothing,
Speaker 4: everything is great, not.
Speaker 2: Because I know in your nerves.
Speaker 1: Andrew, I'm like, let's just get out of here, Balinarie,
Speaker 1: to just get out of here.
Speaker 3: He said, don't say anything.
Speaker 1: That's what I got in trouble. When we got in
Speaker 1: the car, He's like, don't see anything, like you just
Speaker 1: keep walking.
Speaker 4: And I missed all of that. I had the ear
Speaker 4: plusant and went to sleep. So I learned about it
Speaker 4: the next morning. And then at this point it's like,
Speaker 4: oh man, you know, but all that to say to
Speaker 4: some of the one it was a overwhelmingly great event too.
Speaker 4: It was. It was great connecting with a whole bunch
Speaker 4: of people. The downside, and I think some of this
Speaker 4: yellers we give. I think we we We are really good,
Speaker 4: decent people who try to create a family atmosphere with
Speaker 4: everyone that we come into contact with, and especially y'all
Speaker 4: who are our listeners and supporters and friends, and that
Speaker 4: kind of thing, to the point where you know, beefs
Speaker 4: can be had. You might be mad at me for
Speaker 4: something I said on the show or something and I
Speaker 4: don't even know, We don't no, and so this tension
Speaker 4: gets well into a situation and it escalates and it's
Speaker 4: so unnecessary. And listen to if you said, you know,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't conduct to myself. Listen. Sometimes people put you
Speaker 4: in situations that we don't like to be in, and
Speaker 4: you can do what it takes as a human and
Speaker 4: your survival instincts get in to do what's required. That's
Speaker 4: what it is.
Speaker 1: We welcome disagreement. We do not invite confrontation in a
Speaker 1: negative way. You see me out and you want to
Speaker 1: don't agreement without those prospect right exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I prefer it in an email.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't want you to email email me.
Speaker 2: But you can come back to me and disagree with people.
Speaker 2: I don't if itsrespectful, I don't mind.
Speaker 3: I think I think if if that could just offer
Speaker 3: a best practice for myself. I'm not putting this on y'all.
Speaker 3: I think that if I could go back, what I
Speaker 3: would have done is to try to tamp it down
Speaker 3: a bit. Like I think that my my feelings were justified,
Speaker 3: but my feelings did not have to come out and
Speaker 3: rage the way they did. And I think that there
Speaker 3: are some things that just don't deserve it, like me
Speaker 3: yelling about blue vests on a stage. What did that
Speaker 3: really resolve? Like, sure we might have exposed some things,
Speaker 3: but what's really the point telling the dude he's a fraud.
Speaker 3: Clearly he knew who he was a fraud because I
Speaker 3: never said his name, But he was the only person
Speaker 3: out of that huge group that responded. Will always holler,
Speaker 3: and so that's the thing I think that I specialize
Speaker 3: in calling out, and I would like to be better
Speaker 3: about calling up. It's just not necessary. And so the
Speaker 3: thing I want to work on is like filtering out, like, Okay,
Speaker 3: here's how I'm feeling. How can I resolve those feelings
Speaker 3: so that I can have an uplifting conversation if at
Speaker 3: all with people. And then to Tip's point, one of
Speaker 3: the things that she's saying to me opten and I'm
Speaker 3: trying to put it in a practice every day, is like,
Speaker 3: is this person telling me this because they want me
Speaker 3: to resolve it?
Speaker 2: Or do they need an issue spot or do they
Speaker 2: need a strategist?
Speaker 3: Do they need a listening ear or do they need
Speaker 3: an end or do they need to vent? And I
Speaker 3: can take on I've heard my friends problems. They didn't
Speaker 3: ask me to go start to go be an MMA
Speaker 3: fighter or even to be you know, a mediator. Maybe
Speaker 3: they were just sharing and maybe I can just hold
Speaker 3: them and hold space for that thing instead of trying
Speaker 3: to resolve it myself. Ain't nobody asked me to roll
Speaker 3: up no sleeves.
Speaker 1: I think all that's fair, But I also just want
Speaker 1: to punctuate for the people listening who may find themselves
Speaker 1: in these positions. You did not invite that, like it
Speaker 1: didn't matter what you said, how you responded. Yes, I
Speaker 1: call people out too. I'm also very prepared to face
Speaker 1: the consequences. I don't say anything on social media that
Speaker 1: I wouldn't look somebody in their eye and say I
Speaker 1: don't have Twitter fingers if I'm not gonna be able
Speaker 1: to back it up in person. And I told here,
Speaker 1: But I also don't want to put people around me
Speaker 1: in a bad situation.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: It's like my mother told me that when I was little.
Speaker 1: She's like, don't put the men in this family in
Speaker 1: a bad situation. I mean, your brother, you'll follow your uncles.
Speaker 1: Because if I say one thing to my brother, my
Speaker 1: brother is when I said, my brother will be ready
Speaker 1: to throw knuckles on the spot, like he just don't
Speaker 1: have a filter. My uncles would gladly do some jail
Speaker 1: time for somebody who hurt me. So I always had
Speaker 1: to navigate that space carefully. But that does not mean
Speaker 1: that any woman is inviting you to confront her in
Speaker 1: an aggressive way that looks like it can get physical.
Speaker 1: That's out of pocket, no matter what was said to
Speaker 1: you on the front end. But I will say when
Speaker 1: Angela and I left the hotel. The next day on
Speaker 1: the airport, we had on our dark glasses, our sneakers,
Speaker 1: our haros and ponytail.
Speaker 2: Like who else wants up?
Speaker 4: They had, they dashed up.
Speaker 2: We was ready. Okay, all right, we gottad it.
Speaker 3: We love y'all. We're not inviting it. But also we're
Speaker 3: not putting these dudes in a bad situation.
Speaker 4: Some situations you just got to pull up. Welcome home,
Speaker 4: Welcome home, y'all.
