Let's not Dave, it's me 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:18.520 or like the bottom, Yeah it's not. It's not the top. 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:28.400 That's an adult.

I can't tell me bang 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.520 bang skeet, skeet. I'm taking legs since you're troll and 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.480 I don't give a sheet. I can't welcome to my 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:11.040 told me the podcast where we dive deep, deep into 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.640 the pockets of black conspiracy theories, and we worked to 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:19.240 prove that Mark Morrison's nineteen nineties six hidden Return of 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:24.720 the Max was in fact financed by Big McDonald's Follow 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.960 the Money, Brother. You're thinking you think a British man 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:33.679 wrote that with no help from the good Night Oh Ship. 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:39.640 Come on, yeah, Grimace in the booth, Grimace, Grimace made it. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.280 What would what would Grimace's drop? Grimaces drop something about 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.360 a big booty girl. He's sitting on something, you know 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:54.440 what I mean? Grimmace thick so whatever, thick purple made it. Oh, 0:01:54.720 --> 0:02:00.640 I love that thick purple. And then because I never 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.160 believed that that guy wrote that song. It just didn't 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.920 feel correct. Yeah, Mark, he's an interesting dude. He's like 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:13.040 done jail time and ship. He's he's He's not surprised me. 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:14.840 If you were like the guy who wrote Return of 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.639 the Mac, it's been locked up, I'd be like, that's 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.080 where he wrote it. The guy that wrote Return of 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:27.560 the Mac didn't stay free the whole time. Crazy man 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:33.760 that Return of the Mac paid all the Texas insane. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.400 I'm your host and one of your hosts, David Boy, 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.800 I'm legs than Kerman and and goddamn. We were coming 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.320 in hot per usual, but but our guest today this 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.800 is exciting. She she's very hilarious, so talented. She she 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.200 didn't come in hot. She came in very polite. I 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.360 think I'd say she came in reasonable. Maybe she's gonna 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.920 get unreasonable and in that way that would make the 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.400 show very exciting. I'd say if she comes in how 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.080 she comes in and says some real wild ship. Before 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.160 she even says hello to us, she says something haunting 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.680 that that's really gonna set the tone for the rest 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.680 of this step coming and can't read oh ship, and 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.760 it's like, god damn Jessica, and we didn't even introduce you. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.800 But she's amazing. She's a writer, she's she's a comedian 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.520 and improv person, but you know her specifically as one 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.880 of the host and writer for New Rock Stars. Give 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.160 it up for Jessica Clemenay. So, first of all, I 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.560 was about to come in about the Hamburgler because you 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.440 guys were like, Grimace drops, and I was like, no, 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.720 but the Hamburger definitely drop because he's been to prison 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:40.040 a couple of times. He steals. Also, side note, this 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.520 is just stupid and take it as you will. Grim 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.320 is actually just a giant taste bud. He's not like 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:52.160 a chicken nugget. He's not a big goobergast. But referred 0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:00.440 exactly what the I was I should because you were 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:06.520 when I heard when I found it Outmace is someone 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.960 is someone who is constantly looking for dark skinned representation. 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.600 I can't say I love that grimaces black. I thought 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.680 he was dark, but now he's just a taste. But 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:21.080 he's just he's really pink dog. That's truly maybe one 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.280 of the If that's not proof that whatever is in 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:27.560 McDonald's this poisoning our brains and making it because who 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.480 came up with you know what I mean? Like, that's 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.720 the best y'all could do. Was like, Okay, a chicken, 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.400 a man dresses the clown, a handburglar, and of course 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.360 a giant taste bud. Oh, that's a cocaine idea. It's 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.080 also like, are they like looking at their tongue in 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.039 the mirror and then just chose that little thing. I 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.800 was like, maybe we should make this into a mascot. Also, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.760 shouldn't he be pink? Yes? She should be pink. He 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.880 should be pink. He should be like a lot of things. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.800 But if he's pink, that's a lot different vibe than 0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:01.000 I don't like if you make think we're talking about 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.880 it a different taste, a different taste, but a different taste. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:13.280 But yeah, why and I gotta say sport, you know, Lauren, 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:22.080 Laura saved us. God's are here today. God don't got 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:28.560 the riverside. You don't know how to log in at all, Jessica, 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:34.560 we're clearly the Shenanigans. The Shenanigans are rich here. But 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.760 but we're excited because you came to us with a 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.360 conspiracy theory that that personally I don't think I've ever 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.360 heard BORI, where do you fall in this? I had 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:46.120 never I had never heard this. This is exciting. Yeah, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.960 this was new for for both of us. It's very exciting, 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:54.559 you said. My mama told me always let a man 0:05:54.600 --> 0:06:01.919 walk in the house first on New Year's. Mm hmmm, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.960 tell me more. The thing is, so my family from Memphis, Tennessee, 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.280 my family from Ephis, Tennessee. There's I have thirteen aunts 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.680 and uncles, and I know my my grandma went off, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:21.360 she popped off, go off, she popped in, popped out. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.800 But it was like my family's hell of superstitious, very superstitious. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.320 And every time every New Year's came around, it was like, 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.240 let your brother walk in the house first. Let's go 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.560 and walk in the house first. My grandma hated my grandfather. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.200 She was like, he's not allowed to pass the first step, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.440 not allowed first past the first step. She kicked him out. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.400 She's like, don't let him in. But on New Year's 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.039 that was the one day he could come back. Was 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.839 the walk in and then walk right back out. Because 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.039 it was just like it's a good luck charm, I 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.159 guess to have a man walk in for so was 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.520 he a man walks in before every woman, or just 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.680 like happy New Year, and then what if you celebrate 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.680 New Year's inside the house? Yeah, that was the thing. 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.880 That was the thing. My grandpa. She would stay in 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.000 that house until my grandfather would come in. This was 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:17.480 also we had like I had like seven or eight uncles, 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.160 so they're like if all of them were out on 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.640 New Year's, all of them had to be out. My 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.680 grandma would wait. She would just wait, and in theory, 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.559 a woman comes to the door and she says, get 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.360 your ass out of here, turned that ass back and 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:35.240 around legit. My mom would make me stay. We my 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.640 mom didn't drive, and me and my mom would wait 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.320 outside and mccolda New Year Holy ship. And so my 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.760 brother came back from whatever function he was at, just 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.240 not celebrating New Year's because your grandma didn't want to 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.960 be cursed. It was it was a superstition. And I 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.679 genuinely was like, oh, maybe just like all black families 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.840 do it, but clearly here about it. I never even 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:04.400 I never even what, man, I have so many questions 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.160 answer them. I'm here. Firstly about your grandfather. He seems 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:14.080 like he's like, yeah, yeah, you can leave me but 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:19.120 you still don't call me all New Year, everything New Year. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:25.040 Hold up, here come Fernice needing stuff from your boy. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.640 I wish I, oh my god, I wish my mom 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.319 was going to tell the story because it's just so 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.480 funny of her being like like she would scream, she'd 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.160 be like, don't you step past that step every day? 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.320 Every day, but on New Year's he could come in 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:44.080 the house, Wenna, turn his ass right back out, right 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.200 back out. Man. That's great because I think if you're 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.640 going to be a lifelong bachelor, you should at least 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.960 also have thirteen kids. I do feel that way. I 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.280 do feel that way in my heart because like you 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:56.960 know what I mean, it's like the best of both worlds, 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:04.200 is it? It's not the worst that I guess. I 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.800 assume if he had thirteen, he didn't stop He wasn't 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.880 stopping practice. This is not about your grandfather. This is 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:14.320 about this is I could go on for hours about 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:20.280 that innovator David wants men be as Mentee. Hey, I'll 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.559 call him up. I'll call him up right now. Ask 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.480 him if he's looking for an apprentice, then how did 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.440 you do it? How did you do that? How would 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.560 you get to go back in the house. How did 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.079 you did you ever stop? I don't know if you 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.200 ever stopped. He was wild, he was wild. He was 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.680 always the one that was like drinking around the block. Again, 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.800 this isn't about my grandfather. Yeah, this is not about 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.640 that is another episode which I cannot wait for. Uh, 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.880 here's my question. Did she ever? Did she ever put 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.240 a spec specificity to it, like was she ever like 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.439 a man has to walk in the house, otherwise it's 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.760 ten years of bad luck or otherwise none of the 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.640 women could ever get pregnant or otherwise, like like was 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.960 there ever? Like was there ever like a consequence given 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:09.880 you think you think right, but like if you asked, 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.680 you got hit. So it was like a thing that 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.440 we just never asked. It was like my yeah, it 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:24.240 was like that's also what your tradition and to ask, Yeah, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.079 just when you don't want to give an answer. And 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.880 it could have been anything. I would have taken anything. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.960 I would have been like, Oh, you're gonna your car's 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.320 gonna leak oil, you're gonna break an ankle, you're gonna 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.200 do something. No, Like as soon as I asked, I 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.040 was like hit upside the head. So I just stopped. 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.480 Can I ask another question? Yeah, go ahead. Are you 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.040 as far as you know about this tradition? Was this 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.959 Memphis wide or was this a family specific tradition? Oh, 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.360 that's a good question. Was like when other people on 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.800 the block looking out their window and like, look at 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.480 these crazy as ladies standing out on the yard or 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.920 what they like? No, this makes sense. We're all waiting 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:02.880 for our men to come home. Yeah, that's where ladies belong. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.400 If there's no mann. That to sound as as sad 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:13.640 as it came out. I liked it. No, that's a 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.840 good question because it was like the way my our 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:21.120 neighborhood was set up was it was my agad. I'm sorry, 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.600 it's not about my grandfather. It was my It was 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.280 my grandma's house, and then the cross street was my grandpa, 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.319 and then it was a bunch of it was across 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:39.240 the street. Okay, ye, the Jersey and the raftors. What's 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.000 his name? And he didn't buy the milk and he 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.840 got to just watch the cow get milked across the street. 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.760 That's if his name was like rooster, I'm gonna shut 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:52.280 this computer off. Here's Jamal, But we called him Junior. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.920 I didn't call him junior, but they called him junior, 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:02.960 Grandpa Grandpa, Grandpa Junior.

I 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.960 didn't see other people doing it, but it was That's 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.840 that's an interesting question because it was like I didn't 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.640 see other people doing it, but every offspring did it, 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.760 every cousin did it. Everybody. Yeah, So it's like it's 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.640 not just your grandma's house, it's all the houses.

The thing was like, I 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.439 think the same kind of sort of situation just goes 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.320 to like superstitions or even like religion, where you're like, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.679 I was raised on this, and it's stuck with me 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.600 forever that I didn't really think about it, and to 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:29.480 this day, I still kind of do it, and oh 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.440 I try. I like I thought about it because like 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.400 if I'm not with someone, or like if I like 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.880 go out on New Year's party, it up, bring a 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.720 guy home, I'm always like, you know what, I need 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.240 to check the mail. Why don't you go upstairs first? 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.360 I like speaking in there because I'm just like, what 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.679 if what if something bad happened that would make me 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.000 think something bad? I would think I was gonna get wrong. 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.400 Oh yeah, no, I guess I'm playing the game. If 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.960 you went to her house and then she's like, yeah, 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.760 just go inside, I'm down here checking the man. Yeah, 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.600 I love something in my car. I've listened to enough 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.000 CARDI B to know what that trick is. I'm not. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:16.680 I ain't going inside. I'm fear itself. So no, it's 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.760 stuck with me for sure. I held ad do it, 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.400 and I hate that I do it, but I feel 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.200 like I'm just my family think embedded this superstition into me. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:30.000 Now where I'm like, I mean, is it wrong to 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.720 not do it? Like to just like actively do it 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.640 just in case? Here's here's another question. Where is your 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:41.200 grandma from Memphis? Life long Mississippi? So this came with 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:46.520 it from Mississippi? And then secondly, did your grandpa King 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.520 as he was, believe it as well? You love him? 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.920 I'm a big fan. Yeah, you got right to. You're 0:14:52.960 --> 0:15:00.280 the only one I like his whole get down. I'm 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.000 gonna call my mom after this and be like, they 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.880 actually like Grandpa and she's back. Turns out we talked 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:14.320 to the granddaughter of a hero today. Jessica's fine, but 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:19.040 she's got sucking black bus aldron at her house. Though. Yeah, 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:23.920 we're gonna with him. I don't want it. I don't 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.400 want it. He said, did my grandpa? Did my grandpa 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.440 also follow it? I know he followed it, but did 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.960 he believe it or was He just like, I'm just 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.840 what's your grandma's name, Lorraine. He's like, I'm just doing 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:40.000 this for Lorraine honestly, because she still she still loves me. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.640 Temper Nah. He was afraid of her. She she was perfect. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.680 She was everything and what I want women with their 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.920 kids with a woman I'm afraid of. Yeah, life, the 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.480 life Jr. But so he but he didn't, he didn't 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.520 believe it. He had no. I don't know, I don't. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.080 I don't think he did. I don't think he it 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.600 because my grandma could scare anything. She was like, you're 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.680 gonna do it, and you're gonna enjoy doing it. And 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.560 also like my dad, my grandpa was just like a 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.200 wild one. Like you guys, already you're theorizing, but you're 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.680 theorizing right like he was having his own party across 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:18.640 the street. She saw it, she said, she said, what 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.000 the hell is that? They were right next door to 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.640 each other. I remember I'd be like, I'm going to 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:26.840 Grandpa's and I just walk across the street, walking across 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:31.640 the street. But either the best or the worst life 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.280 that they've set up for themselves of just living across 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.920 the street from a man who got you pregnant a 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.160 bunch of times, that's nuts. And my grandma hated him. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.560 So I was like, you have to leave this house 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.120 and look at him every day? Why would you? Why 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.560 would you allow this? And she was just like whatever. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.440 He whatever the funk he wants to do, he can do. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.200 I bet she wasn't looking at him. He was in 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.880 the bay, he was in the basement making gin whatever 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:00.200 whatever the cool cool hobbies. I'm sure he had p 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:06.680 kuckle Champion. I'm not eve gonna get into his hobby. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:11.840 Was good sounds importing him. Okay, let me let me 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.280 ask you this before we go to break. So, so 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.640 you're saying you, while you won't openly admit that you're 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.719 like fully invested in it, your actions are telling us 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.639 that you're fully invested in it, beyond beyond your current 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.040 know how whatever the fuck you you've evolved past this space. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.400 But some of that still cooked into you. Are are 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:36.119 you bought into every superstition that your family uh sold you? 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:40.080 Or are there some that you're like, absolutely not, I'm 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:45.840 a reasonable gal. Some there's some that are like ridiculous, 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:51.680 Like my grandma believed like cats steal your soul. That's true, 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:56.840 but like that fact, yeah, we did some research on that. 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:04.160 That's actually goddamn rest in peace, damn in the then um. 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.800 But then there's stuff like you don't point at a cemetery, 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.720 you don't point a cemetery. My grandma was really big 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.760 about that. And this goes from my aunts too, really 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.399 big about opening that damn umbrella in the house. You 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.280 do that outside my I remember my aunt like literally 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.320 like a Heinzman stiff armed me for a penny on 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:27.639 the ground ones a couple of times. Yeah yeah it's up. Yeah, yeah, no, 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.560 I'm saying, yeah, yeah, well yeah, oh so it makes 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:38.480 sense what the hell is going on? But yeah, those 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.560 things stuck with me so hard that I just kinda 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.320 got beat into me. I will say that you did 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:49.439 not necessarily say which one of those you are or 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.080 which ones of those you are and are not bought into. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.000 You merely told us more crazy stuff, but you didn't 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.720 admit to us whether or not you do in fact 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.439 believe in in some of these weird things. I believe 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.600 in the point of the graveyard. I never do it. 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.439 If someone did it around me, I probably smacked their 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.240 hand a little bit. I'd be like the cat one. 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.879 I don't I have a cat walking in our New 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.120 Year's I do believe in God. It's so weird. It's 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:15.960 just I'm I'm like, I just don't want bad luck. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:17.600 I guess it gets to the point where I'm like, 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.120 I'm already have a lot of bad luck. I don't 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.600 want anymore, like no bad luck, but you can have 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.600 my soul, kitty cat, this is yours. Come on in, baby, 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:34.080 come on in, sit on down, suck my soul, which 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:39.680 sounds like something your granddaddy would say. Getting out of 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.840 here for this man. I don't know why, but I 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:53.480 feel like he could DJ. I bet it's a good playlist. 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.920 You try you go by DJ Nins intends you know 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.760 what I mean, like you like, He's like, I'm way 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.679 better than once and two. So it's like, alright, alright, 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.480 big dog. Whatever you say to be the only people 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:14.119 at that party at that house, I don't think. I 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:20.959 think there's a lot of ladies in that neighborhood. All Right, 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:22.880 we're gonna take a break. We'll be back with more. 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:35.960 Chest said more. My mama told me someone getting this 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:41.200 chickaboo await from me, Welcome, Welcome back to another phenomenal episode. 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.480 And my mama told me, where we are discussing the 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:49.160 validity of the conspiracy, that after midnight, men folks need 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:54.760 to walk in the house first. I love the way 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.960 you said it. It felt Yeah, it just felt like 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.040 you were like, I'm gonna make this a puzzle a 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.720 little bit. Yeah, I'm gonna twist the words of it. 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:08.359 Just the taste. That's my whole mom. I don't know. 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.919 I wish I knew. I just wish I knew what 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.320 the consequences were. That's what I always like. That's what 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.679 I always with things like this. I was because the 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:20.200 consequences make me judge whether or not I think it's real. 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.560 I got you. That was the thing that was there 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:25.280 there always just like it's bad luck, And I was like, 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.960 what kind of bad luck? I feel like I'm crazy 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.919 just the amount of children. I feel like it's a 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:37.080 fertility thing. I think that. I think there's a I 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.000 think there's a lot of I think there's a lot 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:44.800 of luck things in general that are based around that. Yeah, 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.560 so I think, and I think that not talking out 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.679 of turn, I think whatever your grandma and your grandma 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.720 had together was working, you know what I mean. Pretty 0:21:55.720 --> 0:22:01.280 fertile over there. It's like Mesopotamia. So okay, go on, 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:07.080 I get it. The fertile crescent is what I'm talking about. It. 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:11.320 I got it, and uh a lot of our listeners didn't, though, 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:13.720 So thanks for clarifying. I'm glad that you took that 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:20.200 extra step. The real dumb dumbs that listen to this ship, 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:29.360 you know, damn no. I yeah, so that's what that's 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.879 my guess is I think it's a fertility thing. Yeah, 0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.879 that's that's fascinating. And that's why it's got to be 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:37.640 a man like maybe it's like you. It just makes 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:42.080 me feel like the masculine versus feminine or something like. Well, yeah, 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.119 that's why I always thought it was like ahead of 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:49.240 the household kind of thing. Whoever brings the money, whoever 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.960 brings the goodies, Like I just assumed it was like 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:56.680 just the breadmaker. And I mean, yeah, it was. It's 0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:00.560 fascinating that that you guys say this, because I I 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.240 felt this as I was researching it, that there weren't 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:08.600 a lot of satisfying answers about the male nous of 0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:12.919 it all that like they did say and and let's 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.640 let's unpack some of this just right from the beginning, 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:19.159 that this premise of walking through the house first on 0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.280 New Year's that's a man is a thing called first footing. 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.960 That's there's an actual like phrase for it called first footing. 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:28.560 And the basic premises that the first person who inserts 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:32.159 the house after the stroke of midnight will strongly influence 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:36.480 the year you're going to have. Right, So it's it's 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.600 if in theory you wanted to be they said, a 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:45.440 very tall, very handsome, dark haired man is meant to 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:52.480 offer goodness for your future where which he'll never tell. 0:23:52.680 --> 0:24:00.720 He'll never tell, gentleman, never done about Lettie. Ain't light skin, 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:07.520 but it will never tell. Oh my god, oh my god. 0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:15.680 But yeah, you want this, you want this? Uh, you 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:19.720 want this tall, handsome, dark haired man to influence your 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:23.199 year in a positive way, which, frankly does sound a 0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:27.560 little bit like BORI to your point, some version of fertility. Right. 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:30.560 You want some handsome, handsome dude to come in you 0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:33.600 so he makes a handsome baby for you, or at 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:38.960 least virility, right, mm hmm. Like was he tall? I 0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:41.639 I know it. I don't want to tell you because 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:53.399 I bet he's so dull. Shoulders he got shoulders, drum jaw, 0:24:53.480 --> 0:25:01.840 I hear it. No, what is this? What is it 0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:13.800 to you? How handsome is your grandpa? I guess he's fine. No, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:18.160 he is tall. I don't know, like six six because 0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:22.920 I was a child. He passed later, but like he's tall. 0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:24.800 Every one of my family is pretty tall. He's over 0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:29.159 six some. But he was very very He was really 0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:32.320 really dark skinned. He had a perfectly shaped afro because 0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:36.400 that's just what he always did. I think he actually 0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:42.680 had like glasses like mine for a long time. And 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:46.359 he just strolled through that neighborhood drinking all the time. 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:49.919 I mean, that's what you did in that neighborhood. You 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:51.280 just kind of got like a six pack and just 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.600 walked around and drank it. But that's interesting that it 0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:58.240 had to be that handsome person. I didn't think. It's 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:01.920 also really interesting because they go on to say that 0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:06.880 blonde or redheaded men passing through the threshold is bad luck. 0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:08.960 That's in my regular that's my day to day though. 0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.359 Don't come in my house. I'm come in my house, redheaded. 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:34.399
