0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to send flames and very mean emojis yesterday because she

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>was playing with my emotions in terms of the time

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend. And she didn't even have a gumming

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>who was acting like she was with the Lord. I

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>was definitely with God and I wasn't with I was

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>talking to him, but I wasn't sitting with him. She

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>got some guns and knives emojis from me this Weekena,

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>So New York, I went to New York. So my

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>purpose for going to New York was to go to

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Ida rod Riquez, who is my girl from they Ready

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>she take her when I was special for HBO and

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I promised her I would be there. So that was

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>my purpose for going. Just other things the reason why

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I was there, which were great, we think so. But

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I am glad to be home. Thank you Henry for

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>letting me out to lorn How it was your week?

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you no, thankfully. Actually, I was supposed to go

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to Jackson, Mississippi this Thursday because we were going to

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>do this big concert with one of the radio stations

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 1>there for my other other job. And basically we decided

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 1>to cancel it because of all the COVID numbers, like

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi is the worst state right now, so we just

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of made the executive decision it wasn't safe and

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>so I get to stay here for to it, which

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>was segways us until I've heard the conversation that today

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the FDA approved the vaccines for fighter so the and

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>now it is fd approved, will that change some minds?

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Possibly even mind possibly possibly even mine, because now I

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like, you know what, maybe now they get it right.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just gonna I'm still not I'm still Teeta tartering,

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>but at least now I feel now I feel a

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>little saving that it's been FDA approved. So yeah, I'm

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 1>still thinking about it. I'm still thinking about it, but

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that you've come a long way to even

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 1>be considering it because we've we've had a lot of

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 1>conversations about this, and oh you don't want to see me.

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I do want to see what I don't have as

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>my real glasses. I left my glasses in the house,

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>so I can't see none of the comments. But know

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying is I think that's a good thing.

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>You know that you're even still considering it because we've

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>had lots of conversations just about you've got some type

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>of protection is better than none, and you know you

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>would hate for something to happen to family members, which

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 1>is why I got it in the first time. Well,

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm seventy COVID tests in as when do we take

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the birthfastbut Friday as a Friday. I just had in

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>my seventy COVID tests seven zero and I had to

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>pay for that one, and I'm negatively still and I'm

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.000

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.360

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>fd air proved. I love the fact that they that

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 1>they're moving so quick to try to get this done.

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 1>So more people can get vaccinated, because it's coming down

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to you're going to have to be vaccinated in order

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>to any to do anything. They had restaurants in New

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>York when I was there that I couldn't go in

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't have that same car. The same thing

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>in New Orleans too, And who would have thought New

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Orleans was one of the first states. So it's changing, y'all,

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>The world is changing. You have to have that car.

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>That car gonna be like, gonna have me a new

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>joke because Angel leeves like flame, you got to have

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:38.720

<v Speaker 1>get in there. I said, girl, I know people. She said, no,

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you have to have a car. I said, girl, I

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>got a fake t Do you think I can't get

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>a fake car? I don't have what I was just

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>making a joke. You have to watch that interview tomorrow.

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get to that because you know, that's the

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the meat of the show. Right now, we're just

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>giving you the Virgians. So, but let's kind of start

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>with something that happened this weekend that I know is

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>all in the blogs, all in the news. Is she

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>carry Richardson? You know she ran the one dred in

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the Prefontaine race, and she finished in ninth. It was,

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and she finished she finished in last. Wow, that goes

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>to show you that you only as good as your

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>last show. Well, this is what I would say is

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of people online are coming for her,

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>and we're not going to sit up here and act

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>like she hasn't made some very obnoxious comments, whether it

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>was you know what she said about little Noazac's basically

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>saying if you follow him, just then follow me now.

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>And I just think that she's very young, she has

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>she got a lot of you know, a spotlight put

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>on her at such a young age, and she's getting

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>so much scrutiny you don't always really know how to

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>respond to it. So I think that she's made some

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, egotistical comments, but overall, you know, she basically

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>congratulated the runners and said, you know, this is not

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be my last you know race by any means,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's a learning experience and she's kind of you know,

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>chalking it up to say I'll be back and I'll

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>be doing better. So I think she was humbled by this,

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and maybe she kind of needed to be humbled a

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit, and that way she can just kind of

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>practice humility going well. Isn't that kind of like what

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>we said about the baby last week, that she needs

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 1>somebody around her as well too, because when you're when

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you're good, when you're when you're fantastic, because she is

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a fantastic runner, but you have to have a sportsmanship,

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>You have to have somebody in your head to keep

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you grounded, like, yeah, you are the greatest, but you

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>can't keep believing that you're the greatest, that nobody else

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.959
<v Speaker 1>will be as great as you, because that's when she

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>gets cloudy. And if you get misjudged and you mess up. Yeah.

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>So I just think you know, she was humble because

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>nine place that was their last and she was winning everything. Yeah,

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it's just she has some of that

0:08:56.320 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 1>heavy weeds. She has some heavy weed. It's sloading down.

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it was very embarrassing for her, But like

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, I think she's taken as a learning lesson.

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>And she even apologized for the initial comments she made

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>after the race and came back and said, this is

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>what I meant to say. And I think just by

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 1>her doing that is showing that she's been humbled, and

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>she understands that she needs to practice the humanity and

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and will we accept her apology? Yeah, we will accept.

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that as a people, black, white, brown are

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>indifferent that we need to accept apologies from everyone because

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna make a mistake. You're not perfect, You're gonna

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>make a mistake. And did you want to need to

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>apologize for Should I make plenty of I'm gonna make

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>one this more? Yeah, But like you said, I think

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>she needs somebody in her corner. I mean, maybe not

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>a publicist, but just somebody that has some sense of how,

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, pr works, so that way they can kind

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>of say, hey, stay off Twitter, or hey you don't

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>need to be saying this, you know. So, But it's

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>definitely you can see it's in the learning process for

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>her and she's kind of figuring this out for herself,

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and we all and we all, and we all. Good God.

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>It is definitely a life lesson. And thank god that

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>they're not just canceling everything, you know, because she made

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>some outrageous statement. Oh no, they're coming for her. Let's

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>be clear, they're coming for her. Well, so, which I

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's cool either. We shouldn't be beating down

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially she's so young. And the internet, you know,

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a foul place, it really is. If you're gonna

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>reprimand don't reprimand without teaching. That's all I'm saying. You're

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna reprimand me, reprimand me and teach me so that

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't make the same mistake again. Now, you know

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.680
<v Speaker 1>they saying you can't teach your old dog new trick.

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I may not be an old dog, but I'm damn

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:46.839
<v Speaker 1>sure a medium cat, Lauren, it is. Um. So let

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>me give you all the good news before we get there.

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So thank you, oh my god, thank you Ken, because

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I am I ain't seen that. I can't even see

0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>my hair. Okay, there it is. So we were resigned

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.680

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Charlemagne the Gods to another year of laugh and learned.

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much, Thank you so much, Thank you

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>so much. We appreciate that we are gonna get a

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>face lift. We're going in a different direction. We made

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>some changes. Who will come down the land later, but

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the new show, the new show that

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the new format that we have. I think it's going

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to catapult us and to something. And the Black Pag

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Network has just acquired a YouTube page or to help

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:33.479
<v Speaker 1>with our publicity and our pr and they got a publicist.

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think things and I'm Charlemagne hired me for

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>his new show on Comedy Central, So I'm excited about that,

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.400

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>and different places, and yeah, so I'm going to that.

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>You said too that you want to make sure because

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>we're switching kind of from the politics avenue that we're in,

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>so you kind of want to form us to chime

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do gossip, but we would like

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to talk about regular topics. But and we will still

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>do politics. You cannot get away from politics if you

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>awoke and grown and this this society. But we want

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.560

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Flame doesn't want to look to the dames. But unless

0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you're cute, look at that. Look at what else are

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 1>we talking a? So you want to get into the

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 1>nitty gritty of everything, you want to just let's talk

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.599
<v Speaker 1>about it. M that's what that? That's what that I

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>want to hear, so first and foremost, I know, initially,

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Flame is an interview of the Breakfast Club was supposed

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to come out this morning. However, anybody that has a

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>tablet currently sees that her photo of her and Boosey

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>has now gone viral and the blogs are in uproar

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 1>about it. So due to that, the interview has been

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>delayed today. It's going to come out tomorrow. But you

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>can see part of the interview that Flame did with Boosey.

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>It's up on YouTube on the Breakfast Clubs channel right now.

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>So this part of the show is going to turn

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>into I'm gonna basically be interviewing Flame. I'm really gonna

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 1>be a troll at this point of the interview, Kendall.

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you could put like some devil

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>horns on me or something, but I'm going to turn

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>into a troll. Now. We're gonna have a very very

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>open and honest conversation, and we'll bring in the Flame

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.079
<v Speaker 1>mats as well to kind of sound off, and he

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>likes to obviously be in the comments as well. So

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about little blocy not to start with, why

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>do you like this man so much? Because I like

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>his realness. I like that he is authentically who he is.

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>He's very genuine and as a parent as a dad,

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I watch how he raised his sons on what he

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>shows us on social media. Now it's a little abstract

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 1>for some people, but he is who he is and

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>his kids are not hungry, his kids are not homeless,

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>His kids don't look broke down. He is there, he's

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>hands out and you might not like the way he

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>raised his children, but that's not your call to make.

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 1>That's his call because those are his children. He's still

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>right there. It's a lot of dads who don't speak

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 1>like Bucy speaks, who don't who not in the lamb like,

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>who are wealthy and don't spend no time with their children.

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>He is there with his children. I appreciate him for that.

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I like his wrap and that. You know, when I

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>was a young girl, niggas might get down, but when

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I was not, I didn't know that he was going

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to be at the breakfast club. So when he walked

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>in the room, we had to get a COVID test.

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>So when he walked in the room, I fucking screamed

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>like I failed out like the last city, y'all. I did.

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I promise you I did. Because if you're a flame

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>mat and you follow me, you hear me always talk

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>about Little Boozy that I like Little Boosy. I like

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 1>what he represents as far as that hard. You know,

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>then of course he said some things that are extreme

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>that I'm like, oh, who do that? Ain't cool? But

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>who am I to say what he can? And can

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I say? He like? He said, he his own man,

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 1>he'd make his own money, he did his own thing,

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and he was respectful to me. I understand that. I

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know how he treated nobody else. He was respectful

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to me. If you watch the inter it, he called

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>me she she she he was? He said, I foxed,

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>were flame. He was cool because I didn't come in

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>with a with a comebative energy. I came in like

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.440
<v Speaker 1>a fan and what's up, boozy? You know. I greeted

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 1>him like a grown up because he is a grown

0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 1>man and soul and I'm grown. I almost had the

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>kids there. I forgot I had this leg. So I

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>hear you say, and I could. I can understand that

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and even kind of agree and say that. You know,

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>we have no saying how Blousey raises his kids. But

0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I think the issue is is when you see some

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 1>of the things that he said about his kids, and

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>how there's a various biased view between son and daughter,

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>which is very normal. I'm not about to sit up

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>here and say that that's my dad is too most

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 1>like most men are. But I think the issue comes

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>in is when you know the topics of oh, he's

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, providing himself with prostitute and making these very

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>misogynistic comments. And at the end of the day, he's

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>still a public figure and he's supposed to be, you know,

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>presenting this certain image quote unquote, So why are you

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>still kind of okay with that aspect of it? Even

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and your dad too, so touch on that part. So

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>when he when he first talked about maybe a year

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.040
<v Speaker 1>or so ago, that he took his son to a

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>older woman to have sex with. Uh, I don't know

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 1>if she was a protest or not. She couldn't, but

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>he said the older woman he paid her. So But

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>when he broke it down and explained it on the

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club, I completely understood it. Because the son is

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 1>sixteen years old, he was already having sex or I

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 1>was about to have sex or whatever. He had already

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 1>experienced some things, is what's exactly what Boosey said, And

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>he took him to somebody that was older and experienced,

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>so it wasn't uncomfortable. Um, when he explained it, Laurence,

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I got it, you know what I mean. When I

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 1>first read it or heard I didn't get it, but

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>when he explained it to me on the breakfast Club,

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, you know what that you took

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the time to break it down to explain it to me.

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 1>I understand. Do I agree with the completely Absolutely not,

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 1>But at least I took the time to listen to understand.

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's what we keep getting long set because we

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>just hit the trigger words and want to fight an argue.

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was a good egg. I thought his

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 1>energy was good. Uh. And that's very true. It's a

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.200
<v Speaker 1>different generation he's and he's in Baton Rouge. The reasonana

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.920
<v Speaker 1>he was raised there. Their raising of their children is

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>very different from us. But it was okay. I thought

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.640
<v Speaker 1>he was okay because he explained it in a way

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that another parent, especially a dad who has a son

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 1>who wants him to have a good sexual experience his

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.879
<v Speaker 1>first time, I could understand. I know that sounds a

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>little fun fest, but if you're not a parent or

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.880
<v Speaker 1>a dad, you might not understand it. And that's all

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. I'm on that one, but I thought even

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and I know he he is who he is. You

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 1>know what I respect about him the most. He knows

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>who he is. He knows it might be for better

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 1>or for worse. But it's so many people who look

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:43.719
<v Speaker 1>more successful than him in life and and uh working

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>in uh corporate America or the suits and whatever, that

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 1>don't even know who they are in politics, they don't

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.719
<v Speaker 1>even know. He knows who he is. He and he

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.199
<v Speaker 1>accepts it and he embraces it. And that's all and

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 1>the only way we're gonna ever me in between the

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 1>heterosexual community and a gay community, even with some of

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the ship that stream ship that Boosey has seen it

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.919
<v Speaker 1>in the past and probably will say again, if we

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 1>don't sit down and talk to each other and listen

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.239
<v Speaker 1>to each other, it ain't gonna never get fixed. So

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 1>and I know that you never want to be like

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a spokesperson for the LGB teacher community just because your

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.880
<v Speaker 1>community is in opposition a lot of times with you.

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>But what do you say to the homophobic comments that

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.479
<v Speaker 1>he has made, whether it was towards Little nas X

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>or just gay people in general, and you do identify

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 1>as trans, like, what do you say to that? Well,

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I would say that I probably had a view of

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.439
<v Speaker 1>him that was differently until I met him personally. His publicist,

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 1>his publicist was Twinkle Tolls gay? Uh? He said somebody

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.360
<v Speaker 1>else that worked on his team was gay. So it's

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.679
<v Speaker 1>not that he has an issue with gay people. He

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>has an issue with some things that he sees that

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>happens in the gay community, and he just voices his opinion. Now,

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's not warranted. But should we all voice in

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.880
<v Speaker 1>opinion that sometimes not wanting? Myself included. Let me play

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Devil's advocate though, Um, I told you I'm gonna be

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a troll today, securely so. But you're saying though that

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 1>he has, like you know, a gay manager and a

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.880
<v Speaker 1>gay assistant. What's the difference between when white folks say,

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not racist, I got a black friend. You see

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.120
<v Speaker 1>how that can kind of be do you the same

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>way I do? But that's also comparing gay to the

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 1>black struggle, Okay, and I never you know, that's the

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 1>thing of man, We don't compare gay to the black

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:28.200
<v Speaker 1>struggle because the black struggle will always supersede the gay struggles.

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, in principle, don't look at it so black

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.479
<v Speaker 1>and white as the gay vers the black struggle. I'm

0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about from a principal standpoint, it looks like he's

0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to say I can't be homophobic because look, I

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>got a gay assistant and a gay manager, So how

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 1>can I be homophobics Well, I don't know. I don't know.

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I just, you know what, long because maybe I'm old school.

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I treat people the way that they treat me. I

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 1>walked in the room. He came in the room, and

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you something. So when he came and

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to tell you all this, I'm gonna

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 1>tell you all anyway. So when he came in the room,

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I was so excited, but I had to remember that

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I remembered his comments. I remember some of his views

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.919
<v Speaker 1>that he have said publicly. So I wanted to take

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.200
<v Speaker 1>a picture with Boosey because I'm a fan of Booty. Said,

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that's what you'll have to understand. I am a fan

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of Booste. So I went to his manager, who was

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:11.400
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the other side of the room, and said,

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:12.679
<v Speaker 1>do you think you were man if I take a

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.160
<v Speaker 1>picture with him? He heard me asking the man, he said,

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm right here, baby, you could take a picture with me.

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, really, Because I didn't want to

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 1>invade his personal space. I didn't know how he really felt.

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, I didn't get any negative energy from him,

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't want to invade his face. And he

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:28.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, I don't want this day and queen pushing

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:30.239
<v Speaker 1>all up on me. So he's like, come to take

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the pure So we went to take the picture on

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 1>we were as far apart as these two curtains. I

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>purposely stood away from him because I didn't want to

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 1>be up on his person's face. And the publics like

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>get close, to get close. I was like, oh, I'm okay.

0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Boosey put his arm around me and pulled me close.

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 1>They come on, baby said, oh, you smell good, very comfortable.

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at the picture, you'll see he's

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.199
<v Speaker 1>smiling just as big as I am. He was. I

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't make him uncomfortable. He wasn't. If I would have

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:56.879
<v Speaker 1>felt that like I made him uncomfortable, I would have

0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.399
<v Speaker 1>pulled back, even though my pullout game it would have

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 1>used to be. But I want to pulled back. But

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 1>he didn't make me feel uncomfortable. He made me. He

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 1>made me feel, you know, just like a regular person.

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>And I'm and I'm talking to him like a regular person.

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Well what do you say too, because I mean, you

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>guys kind of touched on it. But there's a common

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 1>thread in the comments. I guess you can call it

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the same that you are a pick me and I

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what the hell that meant, But I don't

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>know what it is when it pick Mark, Okay, let

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>me let me grab Mark so he can. I'm gonna

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.520
<v Speaker 1>pick me, break it down so it can for everyone consistently.

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a trendy. I'm they say I'm not a

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>because I Mark? What the hell is it? Pick me?

0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Why don't ask that? They attempted to make it a read,

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 1>but pick me as somebody who's essentially always seeking validation

0:22:55.960 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>or approval from a certain demographic. Meanwhile, ship on their

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.840
<v Speaker 1>own right, So someone who's like desperate, for instance, they're

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:08.679
<v Speaker 1>trying to say Flames always seeking out heterosexual men because

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the audience that she wants to pee. That shows

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>my d M. That showed you who's seeking out me? Right.

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 1>What they're saying is that she's like she's she's sacrificing

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>her values or character just to get a little bit

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of acceptance, which is not true because her rhetoric has

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 1>a change. Right. It was a failed attempt how to

0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 1>read almost like a yes man essentially, right, Okay, I

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>took it as an attention horn. That's what it sounds like,

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:46.640
<v Speaker 1>like you just love attention. But you know, I think

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 1>with them trying to say that, you know, uh, playing sacrifices,

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, the community just to level herself up, you

0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, it's like whatever different community is saying,

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>because she and everybody recognizes that she can cross barriers

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and communities. Now it's been labeled as a pick me

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 1>some of that, some of the stuff people make up

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:16.399
<v Speaker 1>to say is really stupid to me, you know what

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Um and if and none of these people

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 1>are licensed, and it's always somebody that don't nobody can

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 1>attention to. I want to tell you what you are,

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. What they're mad at is

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.159
<v Speaker 1>that they picked flame and they didn't pick their go

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to what they don't even get asked questions at the office.

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Somebody is telling them what to do, and all of

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, it's like, well, this is what I think

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you are. I think your canvas owns of the community,

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, But you know, I have to give credit.

0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>What credit is do? That was damn good, That was

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 1>ja um And I didn't have to get more to

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 1>tell me what the hell they met. But again, I

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:12.439
<v Speaker 1>think that is so sad, so sad that you're trying

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to fix the fraendments in your community while you're trying

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:20.199
<v Speaker 1>to hurt someone of your career. Well, here's this, I

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:23.399
<v Speaker 1>don't even want everybody like me. Here's the kicker. I

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>really did not when you're when you I'm not going

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 1>to tell you all what the interview is. But when

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you see the interview, I think some of you all

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be pleasantly surprised because y'all judging me off of

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a picture you haven't even seen the interview. And when

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:38.399
<v Speaker 1>you watch when they brought me in with Boothy, Boothy

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and I discussed his daughter, if his daughter was to

0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>marry well, and I boxed him in to be like, yeah,

0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna love your daughter morning, you're gonna hate what

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:48.200
<v Speaker 1>she becomes because it's the truth as a parent, as

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 1>a dad. But they don't want to hear that. They

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>just saw that I took a picture with this guy

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 1>who they think is a homophobe, and they just lost

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.400
<v Speaker 1>their man. And it's fan, lose your damn man, because man,

0:25:57.800 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 1>my man ain't going nowhere. You know, like I said,

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know much about him, but I did watch the interview,

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 1>and to be honest to me, I mean I think, yes,

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he's ignorant, but also at the same time,

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 1>I think he's just very old school and conservative and

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of thoughts and you're not gonna change someone's

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>mentality overnight. So the more he's introduced to people like you,

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and there's around people like you too, where he can

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 1>hear bits and pieces because y'all box him in a

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 1>little bit. He said he likes girl on girl action,

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 1>but when it comes to him in it's opposite. So

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:33.359
<v Speaker 1>he already is starting to realize, okay, you you know what,

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 1>they kind of me My head up right there with that.

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.119
<v Speaker 1>So the more he's around people like you and people

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 1>give him the space say what he wants to say,

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:46.119
<v Speaker 1>you also learn and remove some of that ignorance. He

0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 1>will come around and maybe he won't. But it's not

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>our place to force our agenda or what we think

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 1>is right. Don't say that. Yeah, that's something that baton

0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>rouge and no disrespect what's so yeah at all? But

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 1>that's some you know, bad rouge still floating in him.

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And I like to see the mix. I'd like to

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>see the growth and people as well, you know what

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean. And really it comes down to, in my opinion,

0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:15.439
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a root and this is no shade

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>at all. I think he's really the example of toxic

0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:21.080
<v Speaker 1>masculinity in a way. Right. It's with a lot of

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the heterosexual men. That's their thought process. But it's something

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>that is almost common. And again, the more we allow

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>them in our spaces and the more we allowed to

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 1>have that conversation, eventually they will come around. And if

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:35.240
<v Speaker 1>they don't, and you have a problem with it, guess what.

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Don't support Boosey. I don't even know what Boosey song.

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not bothered by it. Let me ask the question.

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:47.879
<v Speaker 1>You've been working with me for more than a year

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>since and what do you always call me? Oh? Very sure?

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 1>You were an anomaly. I've and I have said this

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.880
<v Speaker 1>before I were reiterated. I have never met a trans

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:03.040
<v Speaker 1>person like flame. And I work for the largest a

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 1>s O, which is an aid service organization in the world.

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>In the world, okay, we're in forty five countries globally,

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:13.120
<v Speaker 1>sixteen states domestically, and we have a specific affinity group

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 1>called Flux and it is all trans people of the

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.800
<v Speaker 1>trans experience. That's that's who we work with. And it's

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 1>a very extremely different experience working with you know, that

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Affinity group and working with Flame. I've never met someone

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 1>of trans experience that has the same thought processes, you,

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the same ideals, or even just prioritize a certain topics

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>like you do. Do you think I'm fair? Very, That's

0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 1>all I want to be. I just want to be

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 1>fair to people because I want people to be fair

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to me. Yeah. I think what I create about you

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:48.320
<v Speaker 1>learn is that you don't you don't try to uh

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>invalidate flames experience or her opinions. And what happened yesterday,

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 1>what we saw was someone trying to, oh, well, don't

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 1>come to Flame and ask Flame about this or that

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>when they're just trying to promote a show. It's like,

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 1>so you're saying that Flame's opinion is not valid. No,

0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 1>there is space for everybody, and until we get out

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of this headspace of entitlement in the community, feeling like

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we're entitled to something or there are ways the way

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 1>we're never gonna change. Like it's just it's bizarre that

0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>so many of those fans and followers. They are not

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 1>able to think and articulate their own thoughts or uh positions.

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>They just hear what they think sounds good and they

0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 1>get behind it. But really, I think so you're a

0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 1>trial blazer and because you're comfortable with who you are,

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't mind speaking it. And that's a good thing

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in all of us, you know what I mean? Um

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and more people will come out with your same with

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:51.959
<v Speaker 1>your same sort of thinking because that you have created

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a comfortable space for them to feel that they can

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>come out and say what they want to say. But

0:29:57.280 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 1>um what that you'll grow in your community. It's gonna

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 1>come with growing things for you. Now, it doesn't seem

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 1>like you're bothered because you do well with keeping yourself surrounded.

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 1>But I think part of the problem is is that

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 1>if you would put on like lipstick around here and

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:23.440
<v Speaker 1>in in exaggerate buffoonery, you would be more respected. But

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 1>because you're smart, just not respected. Just further along in

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:30.480
<v Speaker 1>my career as far as statue litt because I don't

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:32.560
<v Speaker 1>know even know if they respect that that that gooner,

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>it's just a novelty. I don't never want to be

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>labeled as a novelty. Well, you know what earlier I

0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 1>think mixed up how how to accept people. So people

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 1>were trying to get in anyway. And there's still some

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>buffoonery right there in the community because they think that's

0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:56.280
<v Speaker 1>what folks want. People have changed their imageries because of

0:30:56.320 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the sisters now saying, hey, that's not that's not might

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 1>get down. I have a challenge, I have a crap.

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I am this person. Uh and so I think that's

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 1>what all the craziness is far. I mean, everybody can

0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 1>get up and storm, you know, when there's an emotional issue.

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I take no brand, you know, gestures or posture as

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:23.720
<v Speaker 1>anyone who says, you know, up with the people, Well

0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>what you've been doing for the people every damn day,

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So to sit on a

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>hot button, you know, an act like you're getting ready

0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to touch it, you know, on issues I don't even know,

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 1>like people reaction every people around me because it stumps

0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:43.960
<v Speaker 1>micro you know. So I think that's what your face

0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:47.520
<v Speaker 1>with because you're not dumb. Because the young lady yesterday,

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:50.400
<v Speaker 1>she came as a mouthpiece, you know what I mean,

0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and they you know, she was set by the best

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's time, it just isn't what it has to be.

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, hell, everybody's sitting in church, don't bring one another.

0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 1>You can go to your house and everybody's not gonna

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 1>agree inside your damn house. So why in the hell

0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 1>are they forcing you? Are trying to force you to

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 1>be a mouthpiece for the whole community. Well, I think

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 1>that's one thing to know. Well, a couple of things.

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to just kind of highlight what you said

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:20.400
<v Speaker 1>t T. And to back up a little bit regarding

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Boosey and him being from Baton Rouge. I just want

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to make it very blatant and very clear. There is

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stigma throughout the South, from Alabama to

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi because we're really it's interesting now that you know

0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>certain you know, l g b t Q and a

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 1>s o s are really being called into these areas

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to provide education because there's such a huge lack and

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 1>it's really sad to see that a lot of people

0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:48.320
<v Speaker 1>still think that, like you just simple things like you

0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 1>could get HIV from sitting on a toilet, like those

0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:54.040
<v Speaker 1>are still things that people think are really real. So

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:57.960
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to the LGBTQ community and issues around,

0:32:58.000 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, trans experiences, trans experien and engay people. It's

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 1>just there's so much stigma and ignorance that it's like

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 1>in my mind, it's like I can't even expect anything else,

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's really sad to say that. Um. The

0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 1>only other thing that I want to say is can

0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you just provide some more context to the female that

0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about in terms of the interview, so that

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what you're talking about? It would have been uh,

0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>just Hope, Hope Giselle I always called Giselle, but it's

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Hope Giselle that interview. I h thank you again for

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>sharing that with me. Um. I was familiar with her

0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:40.600
<v Speaker 1>because of her role that she plays. Um, you have

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to be careful when you label yourself activists, and you

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 1>have to be careful like I have to be careful

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 1>who we send to speak for us, because I do

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:57.880
<v Speaker 1>think she said, I do think that because you had

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:01.840
<v Speaker 1>the same air for her as she had for Booty.

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>She let her talk and they had a next change.

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:11.920
<v Speaker 1>But when she brought up past interviews to to to say, oh,

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get you on my other dialog, what about this?

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:20.719
<v Speaker 1>But when you did that interview, who cares they invited her,

0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and it was a lot of people that were like, yeah, Flame,

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 1>you're white, You're right, But she wanted to bring this

0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 1>up as something that she had a problem. Would like,

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 1>who said You're gonna be the mouthpiece? But I hope

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 1>no one said I was gonna be the ear Well

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I will say is if you guys want to look

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.879
<v Speaker 1>at the interview, it's on Game Magazine's Instagram. I think

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:46.719
<v Speaker 1>it's literally the first post, and you can go and

0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 1>look at it. But just so we can set the

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:51.240
<v Speaker 1>record straight and break it down so it can forever

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and consistently be broke flame, How how do you identify

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 1>are you a spokesperson? Who are you in the community

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 1>or not in the community. Okay, so that's a good question, Lawrence.

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:06.279
<v Speaker 1>So I am. I am a transfer woman for more

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 1>than thirty five years. But when y'all but y'all love

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:11.239
<v Speaker 1>to say I'm a dread queen, a lot of y'all

0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:13.480
<v Speaker 1>haven't done no research on me. Y'all have seen me

0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:15.960
<v Speaker 1>because I have become popular in the last two or

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 1>three years, but I've been in the game for thirty years.

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been this same flame, same dialect, same way of thinking,

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.920
<v Speaker 1>same traction for thirty but you all just didn't know

0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:29.799
<v Speaker 1>who I was. And now that I got a little

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 1>shine and y'all see me in the forefront. I'm expected

0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:37.399
<v Speaker 1>to be this super advocate who I support my transistors.

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:39.600
<v Speaker 1>And when you watch the interview, you will see that

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:41.480
<v Speaker 1>which side of history do you want to be on?

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Do I want to be on the side where you

0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:45.919
<v Speaker 1>angry and disgruntled because you can't go to a bath

0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:47.840
<v Speaker 1>froom when they didn't get your pronoun right, or you

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 1>can't get this, Or do I want to be on

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>the positive side of We are moving in spaces and

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 1>capacities that we have never had in our lifetimes. We

0:35:56.280 --> 0:35:59.760
<v Speaker 1>have a state senator, We have actresses. M J. Rodriguez

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:02.360
<v Speaker 1>has broken the glass ceiling that being nominated as the

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 1>first female actress of transgender experience in a major role.

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Whether she wins or not, we have one. I don't

0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:12.840
<v Speaker 1>see the glass half empty. I see the glass half full.

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:15.440
<v Speaker 1>The choice of what you see is on you. You

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:18.200
<v Speaker 1>cannot live your life through me. I can't live my

0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 1>life through nobody else. I'm uphill women's rights, uphill trans

0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:25.839
<v Speaker 1>were trans women's rights. I find my sisters when it's

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a good, good thing. But when it's some bullshit, I

0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:30.560
<v Speaker 1>ain't with the bullshit and I'm not gonna fight over

0:36:30.600 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the bullshit. And let's just stop making everything a social

0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 1>justice issue or a controversy. If you need a paycheck,

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 1>go to Flame and say, Flame, can you help me

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:46.919
<v Speaker 1>out get an opportunity about listen? But you know my point.

0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:48.879
<v Speaker 1>If someone wants to get on the platform, Hey, Flame,

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 1>is there any way you can at least just make

0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:53.279
<v Speaker 1>a connection from me, But don't try to create controversy

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:55.160
<v Speaker 1>because you need a paycheck and that's how you get

0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:58.279
<v Speaker 1>your money. Well, I think the second or third show

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:01.240
<v Speaker 1>we did for Laugh and Learned were called pick your battles.

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:05.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm a strong believer in whatever you invite into

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:08.240
<v Speaker 1>your DNA will be in your DNA. I don't invite

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:11.200
<v Speaker 1>bullshit into my DNA. Some things I just don't even

0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.600
<v Speaker 1>want to know about. If it's insignificant to me, there's

0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 1>no need for me to talk about it. If I

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:17.719
<v Speaker 1>saw one of my trans sisters get whipped on the street,

0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pull out my ship and bust them in

0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the head, whoever he is, because that's my trans sistor.

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Whether she started to fight or not. But if it's

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:26.920
<v Speaker 1>some bullish it and she didn't kick it off, and

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna put myself in harm's away or in

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:32.120
<v Speaker 1>jeopardy because a lot of times we walk around this

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 1>grunted and combative and angry and arguentative. I'm not like that.

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to fight. I want people to get along.

0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:41.760
<v Speaker 1>The only way we ever gonna make other people comfortable

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:45.840
<v Speaker 1>around us is making it's us being comfortable we who

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we are, and walking in that room and with your

0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:52.799
<v Speaker 1>headheld had and feeling comfortable enough, and they can feel

0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 1>your energy. Energy is transferable. If you walk in in

0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a good mood, they're gonna get that good move. If

0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you walk in shitty, they're gonna feel that, and they're

0:38:00.480 --> 0:38:02.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna get away from you because it's never going to work.

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:05.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm walking in shitty, I walk in bubbly and here,

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'll not tell you wait a minute, mar give

0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 1>me when I tell y'all, y'all thought that Booty was

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this and this. If Boozy had a box of me

0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and me and Boosey would have went at it. Understand me.

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>A n S is ruled number four to be in

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>a flame. It that is ain't never skinned me and

0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Booty would have had words, but there was no need

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to have words because I've expressed this many many times

0:38:25.160 --> 0:38:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to you all. I don't demand your respect, I command

0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 1>your respect. The way I treat me is how you

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:34.239
<v Speaker 1>will treat me or you will get dealt with. I

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 1>beg you did not walk in the room saying I'm

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.640
<v Speaker 1>chat or walk in completely pronounce me. Is this or doubt?

0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 1>You carried yourself in a way to where he naturally

0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 1>saw that, and that's how you present yourself, and that's

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:46.800
<v Speaker 1>how you respected you. I feel like a lot of

0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:49.880
<v Speaker 1>times it's insecurities within a lot of people where they

0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:53.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like they have to God gives them validation. Is

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:57.200
<v Speaker 1>when someone addresses them, she He's gonna naturally do that

0:38:57.320 --> 0:39:00.000
<v Speaker 1>if you present yourself that way. So a lot of stuff.

0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Now what what what I will say though, is part

0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:09.600
<v Speaker 1>two one year point flame and marks is with my

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and my own experience dealing, you know, with the trans community.

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:16.240
<v Speaker 1>One I will say that there is a very serious,

0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 1>height level level of sensitivity when it comes to dealing

0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:22.399
<v Speaker 1>with the trans community, and I wish that it wasn't there,

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:25.040
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes it feels like you're walking on eggshells now,

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.160
<v Speaker 1>mind you, I absolutely think however you want to be

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.279
<v Speaker 1>identified as that should be respected, and that's how people

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:35.160
<v Speaker 1>should address you absolutely wholeheartedly. It's important because that's how

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:40.160
<v Speaker 1>you identify. However, two flames point. To have these conversations

0:39:40.200 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and to really like make progress and move forward, there

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.440
<v Speaker 1>has to be we like y'all can't be on defense

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.040
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Now, mind you, I understand that trauma

0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:52.239
<v Speaker 1>has been experienced and everything else, but guess what I'm

0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 1>black to We could probably relate on a lot of

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:56.879
<v Speaker 1>the trauma issues. So at the end of the day,

0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that there needs to be some type of

0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 1>WOSA for we can actually have these conversations. Otherwise we're

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 1>not going to move forward. And that's what I appreciate

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 1>about you is that you never come into a situation

0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:10.040
<v Speaker 1>being combative. You're coming to actually have a productive conversation.

0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:11.640
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I said, in a lot of ways,

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:15.720
<v Speaker 1>you're an anomaly. Well, to be fair, for most trans

0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:18.800
<v Speaker 1>men and trans women, if you if you make them comfortable,

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:21.279
<v Speaker 1>if you put them in a space of comfortability. Most

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:24.400
<v Speaker 1>transmian and trans women love to share their stories, but

0:40:24.560 --> 0:40:26.719
<v Speaker 1>you can't come at them sad ways and oh, I

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:29.200
<v Speaker 1>know you're a woman, but uh you but she looking

0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:31.440
<v Speaker 1>like so it's a trans man. He looks like a man,

0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:34.800
<v Speaker 1>but you know he's actually underneath biologically a woman. And

0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you come and say, oh girl, girl, you not already

0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>made them uncomfortable. But if you put them in a

0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:42.879
<v Speaker 1>space of safety and comfortable and say hey, what's your name?

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Your name Lauren, Oh my god, and you say I'm

0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:46.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna trans worm and say, oh my god, tell me

0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:50.319
<v Speaker 1>about that. Most trans people are so transparent that they

0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:53.239
<v Speaker 1>will share that story. But if you make me feel uncomfortable,

0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 1>we immediately go to the defense because we have lived

0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:58.239
<v Speaker 1>our lives on the defense, mostly with our family, with

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:00.920
<v Speaker 1>our friends, because we have talked about this transgender and

0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I think too, there's so much still that needs to

0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:05.160
<v Speaker 1>still be learned. Like when I tell you a month

0:41:05.200 --> 0:41:07.760
<v Speaker 1>ago I learned something new is that there are trans

0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:10.680
<v Speaker 1>women now that are identifying as being hetero sexual women.

0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea that that was even a thing.

0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:20.520
<v Speaker 1>But again, education, things are changing so much like in

0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 1>your day, Seriously, forget the same thing. I did the

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:28.759
<v Speaker 1>same thing, but I didn't know that That's how the

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:32.160
<v Speaker 1>trans community is evolving now flame in your hey day,

0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:35.920
<v Speaker 1>don't sit the water in your hey day? Was that

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:39.760
<v Speaker 1>even a thing? There's there's just so much still here's

0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the kick now that let's just say this. So you

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:46.600
<v Speaker 1>say trans women have beans, women have now identified as

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:48.719
<v Speaker 1>hetero sexual women. So I ain't the only one that

0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:50.640
<v Speaker 1>like some pus? Is that what it is? So that's

0:41:50.680 --> 0:41:52.239
<v Speaker 1>exactly what it is. I ain't the only one. What

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you likes some puss and and and that's all. And

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I know I said it as simple as I could,

0:41:57.440 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 1>but that's what it is. That is what it is.

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 1>You just want to live and present yourself as a woman.

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:07.040
<v Speaker 1>But if you still enjoy the company of an anatomy

0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of a female, then that's okay. That is what ah we.

0:42:10.719 --> 0:42:12.920
<v Speaker 1>You can identify as what you want, but what you

0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 1>like is what you like. That's it. It's only gonna

0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:20.919
<v Speaker 1>be one of the sick or the stone, the stick

0:42:21.120 --> 0:42:24.920
<v Speaker 1>or the people. I got both within the the dick

0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 1>too small and the coach to be real talk, because

0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:30.120
<v Speaker 1>if you got both of the penis always about this

0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:33.359
<v Speaker 1>be real talk. But I'm saying all this to say

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:36.160
<v Speaker 1>is I just think it's important, especially now because things

0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>are ever evolving and changing is that we have. We

0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:42.200
<v Speaker 1>can't come into situations combative because there's so much information

0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that's changing every day that if we're gonna make each

0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 1>other feel comfortable, we gotta be willing to have a

0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:50.440
<v Speaker 1>conversation and talk to each other. And I'm telling you,

0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:52.279
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna agree with I don't do it. I

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:55.360
<v Speaker 1>don't agree with everything that Boosey said. I don't agree

0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:57.360
<v Speaker 1>with everything that he said on the show. But that

0:42:57.480 --> 0:43:01.040
<v Speaker 1>was understand that when they called me and in my head,

0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:03.799
<v Speaker 1>thank you for the compliment on being experience, and oh

0:43:04.239 --> 0:43:06.520
<v Speaker 1>that was his interview. That was not my interview. I

0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:08.759
<v Speaker 1>had already taken my interview. They called me into his,

0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:11.840
<v Speaker 1>So I wasn't gonna come into his interview and and

0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and dominate his interview first of all, and nobody's gonna

0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:16.520
<v Speaker 1>dominate nothing of a boost because Bushy gonna get his

0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:18.960
<v Speaker 1>point across real talk. That didn't gonna say what you

0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:21.239
<v Speaker 1>got to say. But that was not my position to

0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:23.520
<v Speaker 1>come into dominant. And now, if it was a one

0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:26.680
<v Speaker 1>on one exchange interview with me and Boosey, we probably

0:43:26.719 --> 0:43:30.560
<v Speaker 1>would have exchanged heat high low in between, but we

0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:32.799
<v Speaker 1>would have listened to each other, and when Boscy talked,

0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I shut the funk up and let him speak. Just

0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>like when I was speaking, he was quiet and respectful

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:39.399
<v Speaker 1>and let me get my point across. Were so quick

0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:41.359
<v Speaker 1>to cut each other off when we when we hear

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a word that shake us one word trans. Oh so

0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:46.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't like trans that you didn't even let the

0:43:46.440 --> 0:43:49.799
<v Speaker 1>nigga finishes statement. I'm not for the argument. I don't

0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:51.680
<v Speaker 1>want the pushback, and I don't want to fight. I

0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 1>want to work. I want my children to be safe

0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and happy. I like the home that I'm living in,

0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, I like my checks and lords your point

0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:02.919
<v Speaker 1>about the labeling. The young lady yesterday made a comment

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:06.400
<v Speaker 1>about people are just lazy, not necessarily that people are lazy.

0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 1>It's really a lot. I just me and Bobby were

0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:14.000
<v Speaker 1>just having a conversation about what the I I didn't

0:44:14.040 --> 0:44:16.800
<v Speaker 1>even know. And it's not because I'm lazy. It's just because, like, okay,

0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. Last time I heard it was lgbt Q.

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Now it's I A and I just haven't taken the

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:24.239
<v Speaker 1>time to look because I'm like, well, damn, what else

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:29.239
<v Speaker 1>is on the spectrum. They're go ahead, al They're gonna

0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:30.880
<v Speaker 1>have to put PM for pick me because that's a

0:44:30.880 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 1>new one. They gave me pick me now, so you

0:44:32.560 --> 0:44:41.480
<v Speaker 1>got PM terms. People like the newness of introducing stuff. Um.

0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to a young lady and she identified

0:44:44.880 --> 0:44:49.400
<v Speaker 1>as something. She said that she can't like anybody until

0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 1>she starts liking them, so she doesn't know. I said,

0:44:53.040 --> 0:44:56.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're confused, damn, I'm confused. Don't give me another

0:44:56.239 --> 0:45:00.239
<v Speaker 1>damn term to learn because I'm so not interested. And

0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:05.200
<v Speaker 1>who you like and who like? Speaking to Gazel yesterday,

0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think, like, Lord, you just made a

0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:09.960
<v Speaker 1>very valid point about the South. So you can't send

0:45:10.280 --> 0:45:14.000
<v Speaker 1>a highly educated vernacular person to the South that don't

0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:16.759
<v Speaker 1>speak that to teach them about training. You have to

0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 1>give just like what the police it's called what what

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:21.480
<v Speaker 1>was they called? Not defund the police? What was the

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 1>other thing? Reform? You have to put somebody who speaks

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:27.800
<v Speaker 1>my language for we can't understand what you're saying to me.

0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:30.200
<v Speaker 1>So if I need Keisha to come explain it to

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.880
<v Speaker 1>me in the hood, because I'm gonna understand it from Keisha,

0:45:33.080 --> 0:45:35.040
<v Speaker 1>then that's what it is. But if I'm in this

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:39.239
<v Speaker 1>high high m Peel Hill area and Mr Bartholomew comes

0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to teach me his way, and that's the way I understand.

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Then that's what I understand. You keep trying to use

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:47.479
<v Speaker 1>these big words and all these different terminologies on people

0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:50.600
<v Speaker 1>who don't even understand. It's either you got the A, B, C.

0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:52.960
<v Speaker 1>And in order for them something yourself some people to

0:45:53.080 --> 0:45:55.320
<v Speaker 1>understand it, or they're never going to understand it. And

0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:57.440
<v Speaker 1>y'all don't want to ABC. Y'all want to use all

0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:00.799
<v Speaker 1>these big gass terms and create some ship every day,

0:46:00.800 --> 0:46:03.760
<v Speaker 1>including pick me baby. We can't keep up? How then

0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:09.120
<v Speaker 1>keep up cobulary does not equal education vocabulary. That's not

0:46:09.600 --> 0:46:11.560
<v Speaker 1>not at all. That's what I'm saying. I can tell

0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you the same I can tell long the house on fire,

0:46:13.719 --> 0:46:15.880
<v Speaker 1>beat your house on fire my way, or I can

0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:18.839
<v Speaker 1>go Mr Tolliver, oh my god, there isn't there's an

0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:21.920
<v Speaker 1>altercation on your block and there's a house that's burning

0:46:22.160 --> 0:46:24.239
<v Speaker 1>and we think that it's yours when it could have

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:26.279
<v Speaker 1>been real something. But beat your house on fire now,

0:46:27.360 --> 0:46:30.919
<v Speaker 1>or you say, Molly, you and danger girl, danger girl,

0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:36.680
<v Speaker 1>thank you. But I think people are intrigued by because

0:46:36.960 --> 0:46:40.160
<v Speaker 1>you have the spotlight now, so it's like, let's make

0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it more complex, because complex is better, just like big

0:46:44.160 --> 0:46:46.880
<v Speaker 1>words are better, or the more you pay for the

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:51.520
<v Speaker 1>item makes it better. And really it's bs. I really think.

0:46:51.640 --> 0:46:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I think people are mirroring you because you are smart,

0:46:56.920 --> 0:47:01.399
<v Speaker 1>and so before they embrace your smart it's looked at

0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:07.520
<v Speaker 1>as uh a weapon or some sort because you kind

0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of bleed in on You don't really have to act

0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:13.759
<v Speaker 1>like that, you know, you just stand up for who

0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:16.239
<v Speaker 1>you are, you know what I mean. Well, I think

0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a good point of that. I think that's a

0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:19.800
<v Speaker 1>good point t T. Janny to say it simply, you

0:47:19.880 --> 0:47:24.200
<v Speaker 1>don't fit into society's box. You don't box. I'm too fat.

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:26.719
<v Speaker 1>You just you don't. You you don't fit into the

0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:30.759
<v Speaker 1>societal norms of what a person of the lgbt Q

0:47:31.040 --> 0:47:34.520
<v Speaker 1>experience should be. And because you don't, all these people

0:47:34.560 --> 0:47:39.040
<v Speaker 1>hate you. It's room for everybody, but clearly not do

0:47:39.160 --> 0:47:42.719
<v Speaker 1>they hate me? Yes me, according to them comments, a

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:48.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of people hate you. Yeah you Friday Night on

0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:58.719
<v Speaker 1>PBS go that's what that is here, here's the kicker Friday.

0:47:58.800 --> 0:48:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I will be on TBS with Tiffany had It on

0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:03.719

0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:06.640
<v Speaker 1>sure this is gonna come up again. And from Dion's perspective,

0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:08.919
<v Speaker 1>y'all got to understand that the question that that nigga

0:48:08.960 --> 0:48:10.759
<v Speaker 1>is gonna ask me, I probably need to be with

0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:12.480
<v Speaker 1>God because I'm gonna give it to him straight and

0:48:12.560 --> 0:48:17.080
<v Speaker 1>give it to him. Rolls from your couch with your popcorn,

0:48:17.360 --> 0:48:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm drinking. I'm drinking for that. I might have me.

0:48:23.640 --> 0:48:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I might have me a cocktail to J and y'all

0:48:25.680 --> 0:48:43.960
<v Speaker 1>know I don't drink. You don't drink. So the last

0:48:43.960 --> 0:48:45.680
<v Speaker 1>thing I'm gonna bring up, and I honestly I'm gonna

0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:48.440
<v Speaker 1>keep t T and mark on is what do you

0:48:48.480 --> 0:48:50.840
<v Speaker 1>guys think about the baby? And that he was finally

0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:53.480
<v Speaker 1>allowed to perform back in a public space at a

0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:56.359
<v Speaker 1>main festival at Summer Jam in New York, and he apologized.

0:48:56.560 --> 0:48:58.279
<v Speaker 1>He had a whole public apology as a part of

0:48:58.360 --> 0:49:01.120
<v Speaker 1>his set, and I looked at the comments. Everybody was like,

0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:04.320
<v Speaker 1>he's not canceled. How many times does he have to apologize?

0:49:04.400 --> 0:49:07.279
<v Speaker 1>We love New York for being trend setters, And it

0:49:07.360 --> 0:49:09.080
<v Speaker 1>seems like he's back in the fold. You know, he

0:49:09.200 --> 0:49:11.120
<v Speaker 1>may have taken a couple of else but he's back

0:49:11.560 --> 0:49:13.360
<v Speaker 1>so what do you think? And I love it. I

0:49:13.480 --> 0:49:15.759
<v Speaker 1>love it. I mean, like, you know, I didn't know

0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:20.160
<v Speaker 1>him before, um, but I mean I followed current events.

0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 1>He did apologize publicly to a crowd in real lifetime.

0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was wonderful, and talking about being humbled,

0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:34.080
<v Speaker 1>he thanked them for giving him the opportunity. You know,

0:49:34.480 --> 0:49:37.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody doesn't have to cut off their damn leg. You know,

0:49:38.239 --> 0:49:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I've misspoken, I've miss judge um, and I've stood up

0:49:44.000 --> 0:49:46.719
<v Speaker 1>and wrong. You know, when you wrong and you think

0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you're right, you'd be like, I don't give a fun

0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:51.920
<v Speaker 1>what nobody said. That's what I heard, and I was wrong,

0:49:52.400 --> 0:49:56.280
<v Speaker 1>But that does mean tear me down to my soul.

0:49:56.760 --> 0:49:59.520
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's all I got. I thought it was wonderful.

0:49:59.560 --> 0:50:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Long Okay, Yeah, I personally I don't think because again

0:50:02.560 --> 0:50:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know him that well. I

0:50:04.200 --> 0:50:06.760
<v Speaker 1>think he made a song about social justice or policing.

0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:08.279
<v Speaker 1>That's the only song that I know that was a

0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:15.160
<v Speaker 1>little baby. We're talking about dub baby. Look, I don't

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:18.600
<v Speaker 1>know who he is. Look, I don't even know who

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:21.120
<v Speaker 1>he is either. So all I will say is that, look,

0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:23.319
<v Speaker 1>if you want to support him, support him. People are

0:50:23.320 --> 0:50:26.120
<v Speaker 1>always gonna have fan bases, They're always going to have

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:29.920
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to have a platform or space, and it

0:50:30.080 --> 0:50:31.839
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. If you don't like him, then

0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:33.600
<v Speaker 1>don't watch him. I said that from the beginning. If

0:50:33.600 --> 0:50:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the continents didn't apply to you, why were you so

0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:37.719
<v Speaker 1>buck heard about it? So at the end of the day,

0:50:37.719 --> 0:50:40.360
<v Speaker 1>if he's making his money, that's awesome. He's making an

0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:43.080
<v Speaker 1>impact on people, and it's really If you don't like him,

0:50:43.120 --> 0:50:45.239
<v Speaker 1>then continue not to support him and mind you them

0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:47.920
<v Speaker 1>like I'm doing. I know what I appreciate about it

0:50:48.040 --> 0:50:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that it was so soon. You know, we we we

0:50:50.880 --> 0:50:52.840
<v Speaker 1>we we hold on to grudge just for such a

0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:55.920
<v Speaker 1>long time, but we can be forgiving. And I love

0:50:55.960 --> 0:50:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he came out. Somebody gave him another

0:50:58.520 --> 0:51:02.600
<v Speaker 1>opportunity and and he he didn't pullish Icari Richards. I

0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:05.000
<v Speaker 1>hate to use this as a comparison, but he didn't

0:51:05.080 --> 0:51:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Japans like, because here's the here's the other side of

0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:09.799
<v Speaker 1>what could have happened with all the takeaway from him.

0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:12.680
<v Speaker 1>He could have became angry and embittered and went on

0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the rampage to shoot gay people because it looked like

0:51:14.920 --> 0:51:16.839
<v Speaker 1>it was the gay people that was went after him

0:51:16.880 --> 0:51:20.080
<v Speaker 1>to cancel him mostly, but he didn't. Somebody must have

0:51:20.160 --> 0:51:22.160
<v Speaker 1>gotten his head or talk to him because he's young man,

0:51:22.320 --> 0:51:24.399
<v Speaker 1>and like, dude, you still can salve it your career.

0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's fix it now, not somebody. The nice white people

0:51:27.719 --> 0:51:30.239
<v Speaker 1>who put on the concert, Thank you white people. He

0:51:30.400 --> 0:51:34.320
<v Speaker 1>made them a promise. He didn't hit that OUI, and

0:51:34.440 --> 0:51:37.200
<v Speaker 1>he didn't drink nothing, and he went out there and

0:51:37.239 --> 0:51:41.719
<v Speaker 1>spoke for his well, thank god by white people. Uh

0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the money, I'm told okay. And I love the fact

0:51:46.120 --> 0:51:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that given him an opportunity so soon to you know,

0:51:49.680 --> 0:51:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to reach out to salvage his career because they were

0:51:52.120 --> 0:51:56.120
<v Speaker 1>willing to take away everything so quickly. And I don't.

0:51:56.200 --> 0:51:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't reprimand me and don't teach me. I understand the

0:51:58.560 --> 0:52:02.200
<v Speaker 1>reprimand reprimand me. I'm wrong, reprimand me, but didn't teach

0:52:02.280 --> 0:52:04.759
<v Speaker 1>me something y'all can't. Here's the thing where y'all with

0:52:04.840 --> 0:52:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the booty picture, y'all can't reprimand me because I ain't.

0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Did you wrong? I took a picture as a fan

0:52:09.640 --> 0:52:12.640
<v Speaker 1>with a celebrity. However you and took took that picture

0:52:12.640 --> 0:52:16.200
<v Speaker 1>into your DNA or to your constitution. That has absolutely

0:52:16.280 --> 0:52:18.520
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with me. Understand, I'm gonna say this

0:52:18.600 --> 0:52:21.239
<v Speaker 1>publicly on my platform. I will never apologize for taking

0:52:21.239 --> 0:52:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a picture with Boosey. They're gonna need for me too.

0:52:24.400 --> 0:52:28.120
<v Speaker 1>There is no it was. It was your community that

0:52:28.280 --> 0:52:30.880
<v Speaker 1>came after him, you know what I mean, as they

0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:34.040
<v Speaker 1>came after Shakary. So I think the hot buttons need

0:52:34.160 --> 0:52:36.880
<v Speaker 1>to relax the moment. And if you notice how we

0:52:36.960 --> 0:52:38.920
<v Speaker 1>come after our own folks faster than we go out

0:52:39.560 --> 0:52:42.279
<v Speaker 1>say at one more time, Lauren, y'all ever notice how

0:52:42.320 --> 0:52:44.520
<v Speaker 1>we come after us first before we go after the other.

0:52:44.880 --> 0:52:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Here's the iron The excuse was the reason they were

0:52:47.600 --> 0:52:50.920
<v Speaker 1>so upset and come after the Boosey s. The names

0:52:51.000 --> 0:52:54.879
<v Speaker 1>they can come after because women Black women don't get

0:52:54.880 --> 0:52:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the same grace, But they attacked Shakary Richardson for things.

0:52:59.080 --> 0:53:01.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's like, you can't have it both ways, honey.

0:53:01.840 --> 0:53:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Wait till y'all see the interview. I said on the

0:53:03.640 --> 0:53:07.520
<v Speaker 1>interview early bit, if I would have went on the

0:53:07.560 --> 0:53:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club in nineteen the very first time and said

0:53:10.560 --> 0:53:14.240
<v Speaker 1>everything perfectly that my community wanted me to say, word

0:53:14.440 --> 0:53:16.680
<v Speaker 1>for word, verbatim, if it was on the paper and

0:53:16.719 --> 0:53:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't go off off topic at all. Guess what,

0:53:19.760 --> 0:53:22.040
<v Speaker 1>It's still would not have been good enough for them.

0:53:22.160 --> 0:53:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Someone would have found fault with me anyway. That's why

0:53:25.360 --> 0:53:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I embraced this nigga right here, because I love this

0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:30.719
<v Speaker 1>nigga that's talking to y'all right now, and he knows

0:53:30.719 --> 0:53:33.239
<v Speaker 1>who he is. I know who I am. I'm gonna

0:53:33.280 --> 0:53:35.040
<v Speaker 1>ask you that to go look in your mirror and

0:53:35.120 --> 0:53:37.640
<v Speaker 1>ask yourself, do you know who you are? Do you

0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:42.440

<v Speaker 1>you are with me. I just looked like this. That's

0:53:47.960 --> 0:53:50.719

<v Speaker 1>the Breakfast Club. Make sure you watch it and you

0:54:28.640 --> 0:54:31.880
<v Speaker 1>judge for yourself what you think. And because what I

0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:36.080
<v Speaker 1>did not do was go off the cuff because my

0:54:36.200 --> 0:54:40.160
<v Speaker 1>manager this help of our here and Ms Claire and

0:54:40.280 --> 0:54:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Sam Matelo along with some of you other Flame, Miss Bobby,

0:54:43.520 --> 0:54:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Miss Jess Jane was like flame, you can't always give

0:54:47.080 --> 0:54:51.000
<v Speaker 1>them what they want. Sometimes you have to remember that

0:54:51.120 --> 0:54:53.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a bigger fish to fry. And I did remember

0:54:53.440 --> 0:54:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that there was a bigger fish to fry. You judge

0:54:55.560 --> 0:54:57.319
<v Speaker 1>me off of a picture that you haven't even seen

0:54:57.400 --> 0:55:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the interview, Baby, I don't know what to tell y'all. Honestly,

0:55:00.640 --> 0:55:02.360
<v Speaker 1>it was almost like I was giving you back your

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:04.759
<v Speaker 1>own advice, because you always tell me. Even when I

0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:06.759
<v Speaker 1>started doing life and learned with you, you were like, Lauren,

0:55:06.800 --> 0:55:09.279
<v Speaker 1>to look at them comments. I still look look at

0:55:09.320 --> 0:55:11.160
<v Speaker 1>them anyway, but you were like, if you look at them,

0:55:11.200 --> 0:55:13.879
<v Speaker 1>don't internalize them. So the same thing with you, don't

0:55:13.920 --> 0:55:16.000
<v Speaker 1>feed into the negativity. And I'm glad that you didn't.

0:55:16.040 --> 0:55:18.640
<v Speaker 1>For the interview. You had the interview how you wanted

0:55:18.680 --> 0:55:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to have it, and it was productive and actually, and

0:56:18.640 --> 0:56:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you will be stuck with the groups. But if you

0:56:20.239 --> 0:56:22.640

0:56:28.440 --> 0:56:31.640
