<v Speaker 1>Let's get into stupid internet news for this week. So

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce girl.

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry here she is with her country music. Did

0:04:59.360 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 3>you listen like that?

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I listen. I listened. I listened. I listened again.

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 2>My allegiance to Beyonce. You know, I like a couple

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.239
<v Speaker 2>of the songs on there. I'm not a big country

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 2>music girl. I like country, but I'm not like a

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 2>huge country music person. So I feel like someone it's

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to grow on me, you know, it's gonna

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>have to grow on me, and I have to like

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 2>get in my country bag because it's not it's not.

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.679
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't really sound country though. Does it really sound

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>like country music to you?

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 2>The music sounds like country music. She don't sound country

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>over the music to me.

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, So especially that song she talk about twerking, Well,

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>she's how does song go get down?

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Get on that, get on that thing, and some ship

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 3>like that. I like Jolene.

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>I like Jolene so that you know, the white folks

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>are there up in an uproar right now about her

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>having remade Dolly Parton's Jolene song because Joelene was begging.

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean lly Dolly Parton was begging Jolene in the

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 1>not the fuck with her man, I just take her Beyonce.

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce is like, bitch, don't come over here with that bullshit.

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I'll beat you up because I'll beat your ass.

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's a little bit different. Nice little twist on

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the song, girl. I don't know which one it was.

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 3>It's right, Tyrann. I like that one.

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I like Tyron, that's what Dolly Parton in it. And

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 2>I like two Hands to Heaven. I love that one because.

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 3>It was a guy on the sound. That's all made

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:29.599
<v Speaker 3>me manifest my husband.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>All I know is she was talking about twerking and

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>getting little on the song. It did not sound a

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:42.239
<v Speaker 1>country song by any means. It's twenty seven damn songs

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>on that damn album, man or twenty seven entries.

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 3>It's a lot. I just know it. And Beyonce, please

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 3>don't drop no tour in twenty twenty four.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I cannot afford. I'm still paying off I see I

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>put the tickets on uh Clarina, and I'm still paying

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 2>for the last bitch, don't come out here with no bullshit.

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to move this year. Don't start Beyonce.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I have an artist in our generation

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>that I just love so much, like I like Beyonce.

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>With Beyonce, I think I love Rihanna more, Right, bitch,

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I like the older artists whit in Houston, don't nobody,

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>but you can't go to her. Yeah, I've been to

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>a Beyonce concert, but I'm definitely not about to finance

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce tickets.

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, I can't figure my finance no more. That's it.

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 3>I went to a Whitning Houston concert last year though.

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, So Beyonce didn't win an award this past weekend

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>at the iHeart Awards.

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even know they have. We don't get invited

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 3>to ship.

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So I like the album. It's cool, it's cool,

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>it's different. I feel like, yeah, put your feet on

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the people neck. We take over all genres.

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, because its ours to be getting with in

0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the first place. Let's talk about it. Even the term

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>boy was the term used to describe the black men

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>who wrangle cows, and it was derogatory. You know, the

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>white men were called cow hands. Black men were called

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>cowboys because it was meant to degrade them.

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.679
<v Speaker 1>So and Cowboy Carters is actually was a group people

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>who sun cowboy music country music. Excuse me sun country

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>music or to me, written out of history. You would

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>have never known about the Cowboy Carters if it wasn't

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>for Beyonce. I did like that she included some of

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the current country artists, like that girl who has that

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>song Buckle Bunny.

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she's dope, She's dope. Yeah. So they're on a

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 3>couple of songs too. I think it's not black people

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 3>coming black country music this year. Yeah, we're coming ship,

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 3>but they come in. I bet you they will. I

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 3>bet you they will.

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.719
<v Speaker 2>And Kay Michelle she said she got a bouquet of

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>flowers from Beyonce. Uh, you know, celebrating her, you know,

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>experiencing the country realm. So Beyonce is so humble and dope.

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>I love her so much because she got every right

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 2>to be a nasty bitch if she wanted to.

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 3>I think she is. She just appears not to be.

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 3>But let's go on to the next stuff. What else

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 3>do you got going on the stupid internet news shot?

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 3>Aside from Diddy's stupid ass. Meghan Fox collapsed back at critics.

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 5>So uh.

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.839
<v Speaker 2>There was an interview with Megan Fox and they were

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 2>talking about her drinking her soulmate's blood, a few drops

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 2>of Machine Gun Kelly's blood, and she compared it to

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>being blood sisters as a kid and like cutting yourself

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 2>and like smashing your hands together. When I was a

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 2>little kid, we did spit sisters and we in our

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>hands and smack them together.

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 6>And like we're best friends, let's go blaying the mud.

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 2>But I'm a country girl and I grew up on

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>like a dirt road where we cought bugs and worms

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 2>and made mud pies and shit like that.

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 3>So his sisters was normal. That is that a thing?

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>And I've actually done the blood shit like not drinking

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>someone's blood, right, but like you poke your finger, your

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:14.719
<v Speaker 1>homegirl poke their finger and you.

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 6>Touch them to gout and rub it together.

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's splitting DNA.

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, I don't know, you know, I don't see why

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>taking them people of vampires anyway.

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand why you would need to do that

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>with Machine Gun Kelly though. I mean, okay, soul mates,

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 2>but drinking their blood is giving very much vampire in Brooklyn,

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>and I just don't have time for it.

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 3>So now he's your sire, that's what I'm hearing. Yeah,

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 3>now he owns you.

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Now he like you know, like on the movies when

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the vampire bites somebody, then they give them their blood

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>right to turn them, to make them like now I

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>own you, right?

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I ain't with that shit.

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>And now I've heard of this in the South where

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>you tall take your your minstrel and put it in

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 2>spaghetti and feed it to your man and he'll never

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>leave you alone.

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 3>That's why people be talking about women from Charleston. It's

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 3>a lie. I've never done no shit like that. I

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 3>would never do that. First of all, how you getting

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 3>the blood? How'd you getting it? You got holding the

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 3>cup under your koochie and waiting for something to drop,

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 3>bringing out your tampon in there.

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that is fucking disgusting. I don't I don't love

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 2>nobody that much to be in there squeezing tampa juice, Yo, nigga,

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Just go if you want to go, just go.

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty disgusting though, But I don't know, But I'm

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.559
<v Speaker 1>done something. What about spit people spitting each other's mouths.

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.199
<v Speaker 1>What is the difference? It's all DNA. Well what about

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>why is that so weird? What about uh?

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 2>The ritual of communion that is representation of the blood

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 2>of Jesus and drinking the blood.

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 3>Girl, we ain't get.

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>These Christians around it while well sorry because I know

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you are as well, but I don't want to get

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>people all riled up.

0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 3>But that is my goal too.

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>When somebody started talking about witchcraft and vodoo and voodoo because.

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 3>They don't realize that they are.

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 1>The difference between like somebody an actual practitioner is that

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>we are consciously aware of what we're doing.

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 3>You're being used by this thing. It's crazy word. You

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 3>are being.

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Used to participate in this thing and you don't know

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.479
<v Speaker 1>what you're participating in because it is a form of witchcraft.

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>If you are practicing commune and you're eating a fleshmtual.

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:35.199
<v Speaker 5>To me.

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ, meanwhile, let me eat his skin like y'all tripping?

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 3>Y'all are really I don't do that type of ship

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 3>the fun anyway, do you kid?

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Somebody said she got nappy hair and.

0:12:55.880 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>The girl, first of all, here's my thing. So I

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 1>have been not dragged because the bitch could never write.

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 3>But it's men mainly.

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>So you know that guy that has that comedic store

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>in Columbia, I forgot his name, is an old man,

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>but he has like a pretty large following on Instagram,

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>so he posts like a lot of esoteric shit, and

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>so he's selling hair oil in his store, right, so

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.560
<v Speaker 1>of course he's bashing the weaves. So he was posting

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>like a series of videos of how they cutting the

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Indian women's hair off and shit like that over in India.

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:34.199
<v Speaker 1>And I commented, and I said, those women are sacrificing

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>their hairs, their hair to the gods. And I put

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the black one emoji with the crown on because there

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>is sacrifice in their hair. And who the fuck do

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you see walking around with and on girl of men

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>was an uproar, calling me an elitist, said I got

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 1>a god complex and everything else, So be it.

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 3>But it's just the truth.

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>When you say things sometimes in the simple ast way,

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>people be fucking mad as hell. So while y'all trying

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.839
<v Speaker 1>to bash us about wearing and hair, weave hair goes

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Doja Cat wearing her natural hair right, and y'all still

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 1>talking shit about that, So which one do y'all want.

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can't satisfy. I'm done trying to satisfy other

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 2>people with especially my esthetic.

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then the nerve of you niggas who have

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>been talking about weaves since whatever. Meanwhile, half the damn

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>men on the internet got a beard and a lace

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>front now, so y'all been talking shit about how we

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>look and our aesthetic for the longest. Meanwhile, y'all want

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>it to look like y'all mama the whole time. But

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>we ain't gonna talk about that.

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 3>But just don't listen.

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't knock it because some of these niggas look

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 2>ten times better with their lace wig on.

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 3>They do their hair better. They do do the hair better.

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>But let me tell you what you need to stop

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 2>is that black paint. Though I don't like that, I

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>don't like that.

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 3>You dating a nigga with a lace front, low weave.

0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 3>I'll put it.

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll put that shit on my nigga, right. I don't

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 2>got a problem with it. Long as it look good,

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 2>it looks natural, and you look handsome and feel comfortable.

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I will glue them. I will glue that bundle hair

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 2>on your.

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 3>Head, that cool hair. It's so weird.

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 6>Though.

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so we know that women wear weave. I think

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the men that wear the weave it's just a little

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 1>bit more discreet.

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>So when you see the nigga without his weave, I

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>know a nigga he finally stopped wearing his weave. It

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>probably got too expensive and he just went back to

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>his ball head, which he looks really nice with.

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Just go to Turkey. Turkey, you can go get your

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 3>hair installed in Turkey. It'd be about.

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Twenty K, but you can get it. I got a

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>homeboy who did that too. He got his whole hairline back.

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 3>I got a stay with you away bit.

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Just be on the plane coming from the dr with

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the ass wrapped up. It'd be a plane full of niggas,

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>but they had wrapped up.

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 3>I remember.

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 2>It's so funny because she had just got back from

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the surgery and she had to have like this compression

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>band around her head or whatever. And we was talking

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.240

0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:40.159
<v Speaker 3>All right, so, y'all, y'all didn't see this.

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 2>In the premiere episode of Gerard Carmichael's reality show, The Comedia,

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>confessed to falling for the one longtime friend Tyler, the

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 2>creator y'all. In the self titled show, Carmichael recall expressing

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.680
<v Speaker 2>his new found romantic feelings to the rapper over text

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty one, but the feelings weren't mutual. In

0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 2>a six second voice note response, Tyler laughed off his

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 2>calling the comedian a stupid bitch. Can you imagine expressing

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 2>your love for someone in there and getting called a

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:08.639

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>year right still trying to see what we where we are,

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing.

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Just call me a stupid bitch right now. I'm not

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 3>mad at that that I ever called me a stupid bitch?

0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:30.880

<v Speaker 3>Stupid is the adjective is the bitch. That's the now.

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 3>We like bad bitch, but you don't want to be

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 3>a stupid bitch. Facts. It's all about context. God damn,

0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 3>adjectives matter. Yeah, absolutely. I like titled Tyler the Creator.

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.840

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Everything is just fluid from here on out. I just feel.

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Like, like Taylor said, Taylor said, she just say fluid.

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>She said fluent, like he's fluent fluently gay?

<v Speaker 2>I can't think of his name, but he said that

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 2>everybody's gay. It's not like a light switch on and off.

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 2>It's more like a dimmer switch. Like you know, it's

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 2>like a spectrum, like you could be the rock or

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 2>you could be little nas ICs and it's a bunch

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 2>of in between.

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 3>So that's what fluid is. Then, Yeah, that we're all fluid.

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm not fluid. You the light switch?

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Like at this at this age.

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I would have done everything I want to do by

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 1>this point, So I'm who I am, so I think fluid.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.719
<v Speaker 1>It's like all purpose, like all purpose of self rising flower.

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 3>This is how some people are. They just be doing whatever.

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.919
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes I feel like I want it's too dangerous out here.

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Pick a fucking side.

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 3>Pick a side. That's how I feel about sexuality. Pick

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.439
<v Speaker 3>a side. Well, there's so many different scary. There's so

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 3>many different sides. Though. That shit is fucking scary. It's

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 3>a what's a sixty sided shape? Octa hexagon? Bitch, I

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:36.119
<v Speaker 3>don't know, I'm scared. B is goodness, y'all. I'm settling down, okay, y'all.

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 3>So I have you know.

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing here for a minute, and I my

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:46.160
<v Speaker 2>my clients range from anywhere from twelve to sixty five, right,

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I've done women of all ages. And I reached out

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 2>to some of the ladies that I knew that actually

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 2>went to Freekneak, and I asked them.

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 3>For a free nick story. So we're gonna listen to

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 3>them and we're gonna talk about it.

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So this had to be nineteen ninety. My first

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:05.239
<v Speaker 5>time going to Freaknik was a great experience, but a

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 5>scary one. I remember we were stuck in traffic, traffic,

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 5>was backed up. We were sitting for like thirty minutes,

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 5>but it was so many people, people walking through the traffic,

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 5>and I remember the guys that we were riding with

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.200
<v Speaker 5>got in an argument with some other guys. I don't

0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.119
<v Speaker 5>even remember what the argument was about, but one of

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:26.959
<v Speaker 5>the others dudes just walked up to the car and

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 5>pulled the gun on us. That was like the scariest

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 5>moment of my life. I saw my life flash before

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 5>my eyes and that was my first Freaknik. I did

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 5>return after that, again a great experience, but that was

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 5>a scary one for me.

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Not you almost get killed and then come back.

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Motherfucking six flags six Flags of Atlanta.

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:55.640
<v Speaker 2>But imagine like you're just sitting in traffic and people

0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:58.399
<v Speaker 2>are just walking through the cars, hopping on top of cars.

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot going on. But you don't hear a

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of stories of people getting shot and killed at

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>freak Meat, you know, you know, like there might have

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:10.119
<v Speaker 2>been like some violence and some like rape, but shootouts

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.159
<v Speaker 2>that's the thing of now.

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately, I don't even remember hearing any stories about anybody

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.120
<v Speaker 1>like getting jumped or beat down, like.

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 3>How people be beating people.

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:23.880
<v Speaker 1>To death at events now yeah, okay, let's see next collar.

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:29.359
<v Speaker 5>Freak Meat ninety four, Me and some friends decided to

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:33.400
<v Speaker 5>see what freak meat was all about. We weren't of age.

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.880
<v Speaker 5>We lied to our parents told him that we had

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 5>to babysit overnight, which wasn't unusual. So we drove down

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 5>to Atlanta with our shorter shorts on and our highest

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 5>plumy tails. God to Atlanta, got stuck in traffic, but

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 5>we had a ball dancing, jumping in and out of cars.

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:53.399
<v Speaker 6>Well we happened.

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 5>I happened to jump into this guy's car and he

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.280
<v Speaker 5>was really nice and back then, you know, we played

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 5>a little dangerous. So we hung out all day long

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 5>and into the night. So me and my friends were tired.

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.320
<v Speaker 5>They told us we can come back to their room

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 5>to take a nap. So of course we got back

0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:15.920
<v Speaker 5>to the room. No nap was taken. Me and the

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 5>guy that I was with. You know, we had been

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 5>talking all day, so I felt like his little girlfriend

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 5>and we did things. But when it came down to

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 5>doing the thing, this man was huge. I had never

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 5>seen anything like that before, so he could see the

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.719
<v Speaker 5>fear in my eyes. By this time, my mom was

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 5>blowing my pager up because she hadn't heard from me

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 5>all day and I was supposed to check in. So

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.400
<v Speaker 5>I started crying because I knew I was in trouble.

0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 5>He said, what you're crying for? I said, my mom

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:52.120
<v Speaker 5>is paging me. He said, well, yo, mom, how old

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 5>are you? I said, I'm seventeen. This man like he

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 5>saw a ghost. I told him I'll be eighteen at

0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 5>the end of summer. He kicked me and my friend

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 5>out of the minute we were. We headed home. Got home,

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 5>of course, got in trouble, but I had the time

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.159
<v Speaker 5>of my life, and the year after that and the

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.360

<v Speaker 6>and you girl good, said y'all, it's a whole thing.

<v Speaker 6>People are making millions of dollars on the diameter of

0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 6>the bristl.

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's a.

0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Big one because some of these bitches think their breastink

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 2>they need to be diamon.

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, people talking about Alfiicia your hair fall down people,

<v Speaker 2>So so you went from like making two brushes and

0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 2>then you was like, fuck that, I'm about to make

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 2>him laugh?

0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:36.280
<v Speaker 3>How did that happen?

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? Yeah, Well there was a pause where I was

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 6>a lawyer working with U. This is Johnny Cocker had

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 6>so ship.

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 3>So you hold on, hold on. You went from twoth

0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 3>brushes to a lawyer, to a comedian.

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to a hairstyleas that's right, to the drug dealer.

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all of that, okay.

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 6>Some sprakers, and then I was a vegan cookie baker,

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 6>so I really was a lawyer. My dad started the

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 6>Cockran firm with Johnny Cochran, and there was a point

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:16.520
<v Speaker 6>where I was about to take over some stuff and

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 6>do some stuff. But then Johnny decided to die, and

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 6>I was like, why do you want to do that

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 6>while I'm in law school. You could have told me

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:24.719
<v Speaker 6>so I could have not go to law school. Anyway.

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 6>That was that, and then my daddy decided he wanted

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 6>to die. I was like, dude, what for real, that's

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:34.280
<v Speaker 6>not cute?

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 3>So oh wow that was traumatic.

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was dad. My dad died. When

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 6>he died, it made my mom. My mom and my

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:46.959
<v Speaker 6>dad were I knew they were close, you know how

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 6>they talked about folks get being together, and they together

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 6>too long and one died the other one gonna die.

0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 6>Basically Dad on the couch. Why he and my mom

0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 6>were watching a football game, you know, and with their

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 6>ninety days, my mom had.

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 3>He was watching the Cowboys, wasn't he, No.

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 6>You hate you hate them? Yeah?

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I do. I'm sorry you like.

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't hate them, I just hate their fans.

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 6>He hated them too. He's a Giant fan, but he

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 6>Blucky Cowboys, Hazey Cowboys, the Giants and the Falcons. Do

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 6>you like the falcons anybody? No, I just don't like

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 6>the falcons. They keep looking.

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 3>So you were saying your mom, they were watching the football.

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 6>In the football game, and uh, my dad was just like, yes,

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 6>I think that's enough for my time here on earth.

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 6>I think that's about it. Uh and I'm out as sink,

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean. His transitions were always poor

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 6>and uh that what was too? Yeah, he ain't had no.

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 6>I was like, yo, bro, this was that was really

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.160
<v Speaker 6>not cool. But good thing for my dad is he

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 6>always said, baby, I just want to fucking drop dead.

0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 6>That was his shit and he did so. He was good.

0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 6>He was happy. It was kind of it sucked for

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 6>me and my mom. Fast forward though, literally like within

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 6>ninety days, my mom went from being went from being

0:31:26.200 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 6>really sharp and very intelligent and running her own business.

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.240
<v Speaker 6>She's absolutely a wee talk bad kind of chick. And

0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 6>my dad supported that in her and in me. And

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:41.960
<v Speaker 6>she was like, if my dude is gone, I don't

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 6>really know what daity is. Should I eat grass? And

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:48.560
<v Speaker 6>should I sleep in the car? You know what I mean?

0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 6>Am I supposed to wear shoes on my hand? This

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 6>chick just was her out. And so she had Alzheimer's

0:31:56.400 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 6>and needed brain surgery like within three or four months.

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 6>And that's when I became a caregiver. So I stopped

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 6>doing law and engineering and everything overnight to take care

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 6>of her. And that shit was hard. It wasn't fun.

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 6>I started making really poor decisions. A lot of it

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:22.800
<v Speaker 6>involved Remy Martin seventeen thirty eight. I think I bought

0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 6>more of they shit for about three years. I helped

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 6>their stock crisis, for sure. It was me. It was

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 6>me and Puffy and them girls.

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:38.400
<v Speaker 3>I got shit. I just gotta disclaimery. If you got

0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 3>dick like that, I wanted Okay, just put it out there.

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:45.840

0:32:49.720 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 6>Sorry, listen, listen. I don't want it. Yeah. So it

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:09.480
<v Speaker 6>was Rinby Martin seventeen thirty eight, Real talk, a lot

0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 6>of sex with random dudes. I was like, So, I

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:16.440
<v Speaker 6>was like, okay, so kanyak random cock. I was like,

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 6>oh shit, I'm about this close to cocaine. I probably

0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 6>need to pull up right. This is not a good look.

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 6>My doctor was like, yo, Jay, you try to die

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 6>before your mama. I was like, well, that's stupid. I'm

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 6>an only child. And I was like, I'm really not

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 6>trying to what damn doc, You could have gave it

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 6>to me a little little mold honey or sugar some shit.

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 6>And that's when I said, Okay, I gotta find something

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 6>to ease out some of this stress, right, so I

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.800
<v Speaker 6>can cope with life a little bit better. And that's

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 6>how I fell into comedy. I didn't know I was

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:54.959
<v Speaker 6>going to fall in love with it and actually make

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 6>a career of it, which led into stand up in

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 6>the podcast, which is what I'm doing now. Both of

0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 6>those are full time. But this is where the hell

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 6>we are. I've been a caregter for twelve years and

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 6>I just made nine years as a stand up comedian.

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Congratulations to you on that, man.

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:21.759
<v Speaker 2>You know what it's I find that most of the

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 2>comedians that I hear about experience some trauma and that

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 2>sent them to comedy. Like it really is a coping

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 2>mechanism for a lot of comedians, you know, for themselves.

0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:35.240
<v Speaker 3>They make people laugh to heal themselves. Yes, so that's dope.

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 2>So all right, you have this series called freak Neek Tales. Yes,

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:43.799
<v Speaker 2>shit's fucking hilarious. So we wanted to get into that

0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:47.239
<v Speaker 2>because you know, that freak new Hulu documentary came out

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:49.760
<v Speaker 2>and I was so excited. I couldn't wait to see

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 2>everybody Mama and Aunties that I knew on their but

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get to see nobody. They kind of like

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 2>definitely gave us the PG version. They wanted to keep

0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:02.720
<v Speaker 2>everybody who had careers now in their careers. They really

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:05.320
<v Speaker 2>protected everybody who was at Freakneek.

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:08.480
<v Speaker 3>But everybody was scared.

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Because online when they when people first heard that the

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Freakneek documentary was coming out, you had lawyers doctors, mamas,

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 1>pastors coming out like you know, it was no it

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 1>was no internet, no cell phones back then. Why the

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.279
<v Speaker 1>fuck y'all trying to out us now? So everybody was

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:25.520
<v Speaker 1>scared as fuck.

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 2>So all right, tell us about all right, your first freaknek,

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 2>how you decided you was going, how you heard about it,

0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:35.319
<v Speaker 2>and what happened when you got there.

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, okay, now that's a lot. Okay, I heard about it,

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:44.640
<v Speaker 6>how I knew I was going. Okay. First thing is,

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:53.239
<v Speaker 6>road tripping in the nineties was like absolutely a necessary

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:56.479
<v Speaker 6>thing to do. Everybody did it. You were going road

0:35:56.480 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 6>trips somewhere to do something anyway. So when Freaknick became

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 6>the thing, it was no big deal to say, all right,

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 6>this is what we're about to do in ninety I

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 6>think I'm pretty sure. In ninety two, I was a

0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:20.279
<v Speaker 6>new Delta, so road tripping, and I'm originally I went

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 6>to Howard, but I'm originally from Alabama. So now you know,

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:28.319
<v Speaker 6>freak Nicks in at atl and I was born in Atlanta,

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 6>but I grew up in Alabama. So I'm like, I'm

0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:32.719
<v Speaker 6>about to go home and got this nail your own

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:36.719
<v Speaker 6>weddy dudes, at what party? I hope I make it

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 6>back to class, right, And so it was like, I'm

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 6>about to come out on these foods, and they're not

0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:47.800
<v Speaker 6>ready for this because now I'm wrong wrong. I left

0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 6>the South a girl, a little girl, and now I'm

<v Speaker 6>hid your kids, because I'm about to be in these streets.

0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:00.759
<v Speaker 6>And so the idea was they are ready for me.

0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 6>Let me go because now I got some DC and

0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:05.839

<v Speaker 6>been you know, dropping it, load off the little loop

<v Speaker 6>stuff because I grew up on that, and it was

0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:16.960
<v Speaker 6>what better thing could you do for spring break? Then

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 6>go find everybody else that went to an HBCU or

<v Speaker 6>when you get into the city. And that's what's gonna be.

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:37.600
<v Speaker 6>What's up right, And so you've heard about it through

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:39.759
<v Speaker 6>word of mouth, and you were like, I'm about to

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:42.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm about to be down there, you know what I'm saying.

0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:47.399
<v Speaker 2>So so like you that's about to say, you ain't

0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 2>like three homegirls powdered to a cutlass like what happened?

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:50.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 3>So who was a cartographer? Because who was reading the map?

<v Speaker 6>Not? Yeah? So what the best part about it too

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:04.359
<v Speaker 6>was even playing in the road trip. So you had

0:39:04.400 --> 0:39:06.759
<v Speaker 6>a couple of things you could do. First is you

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:10.719
<v Speaker 6>could ask your daddy or your mama, Hey, how you

0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:16.839
<v Speaker 6>get to Atlanta from d c ask one of your professors. Hey,

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:20.480
<v Speaker 6>so listen, you were originally from Atlanta, right you? Like

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:24.440
<v Speaker 6>you literally are lightweight, just asking real adults because you

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:28.120
<v Speaker 6>ain't a real doult. You like nineteen you playing, you

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 6>barely you playing. You can vote and you could go

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:35.400
<v Speaker 6>shoot a gun and somebody in a war, but you

0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:37.919
<v Speaker 6>don't know what you're doing. You ain't paying no kind

0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:40.399
<v Speaker 6>of taxes. You are really fucking up your whole life

0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 6>kind of a little bit. Your credit is getting trashed.

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 6>It's a whole mess doing. Is anybody else a real dolt? You? Like, hey,

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:52.000
<v Speaker 6>sodw Hey, so how you which way is Atlanta? You

0:39:52.120 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 6>really are just asking random ass adults whatever you see it,

0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:57.560
<v Speaker 6>like in class or whatever. And you can talk to

0:39:57.600 --> 0:40:00.920
<v Speaker 6>your mom like, hey, so mama, Auntie so and so Atlanta? Right,

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:09.960
<v Speaker 6>of lightweight, just asking little shit like that. And then

0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:14.399
<v Speaker 6>Triple A was the fucking bomb because anybody who had

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:17.400
<v Speaker 6>Triple A, your daddy, your grandmama, anybody, you could just

0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:21.320
<v Speaker 6>have their number, and they usually gave us their number

0:40:21.360 --> 0:40:24.960
<v Speaker 6>because they knew you never know where your child is

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:27.479
<v Speaker 6>gonna end up, so just give them the triple A number.

0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:29.239
<v Speaker 6>So if they got a flat tire and they.

0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:35.439
<v Speaker 3>Somewhere with there, my mama shit to this day.

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.479

<v Speaker 6>and pages and pages and shit if you did it

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:01.319

<v Speaker 2>A cryptic interesting Damn a bitch like me would have

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:27.319

<v Speaker 6>before what kinda existed in the Marvel universe. That's what's

0:50:32.760 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 6>so beautiful about it, because we had this one set

0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:43.200
<v Speaker 6>of days where everyone who showed up in Atlanta you

0:50:43.280 --> 0:50:46.799
<v Speaker 6>knew what it was. You understood the assignment, and you

0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:51.799
<v Speaker 6>knew it was like this. It was a privilege it

0:50:51.840 --> 0:50:53.759
<v Speaker 6>was we were proud and it was a privilege to

0:50:53.760 --> 0:50:56.200
<v Speaker 6>be there, and it was a protected space, right. It

0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:58.600
<v Speaker 6>was like, all right, we about to do this. We're

0:50:58.600 --> 0:51:01.400
<v Speaker 6>gonna let our hair down, We're gonna party, We're gonna

0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:03.600
<v Speaker 6>get it, We're gonna get it in and then we're

0:51:03.600 --> 0:51:06.160
<v Speaker 6>gonna go back to wherever we live. I ain't gonna

0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:08.319
<v Speaker 6>see you no mo and it ain't nobody gonna talk

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.600
<v Speaker 6>about this shit no more. And if I see you,

0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:14.680
<v Speaker 6>like next year or something with my husband or my

0:51:14.760 --> 0:51:17.239
<v Speaker 6>mama and the mall, ain't nobody saying nothing. Ain't nobody

0:51:17.280 --> 0:51:19.359
<v Speaker 6>will be like, oh, bitch, I saw you with Joey

0:51:20.080 --> 0:51:23.799
<v Speaker 6>uh mouthed by your ankles on top of a pickup truck.

0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:25.480
<v Speaker 6>No nobody talking about it?

0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:30.759
<v Speaker 3>Right, Oh what a time to be alive. That is

0:51:31.200 --> 0:51:31.840
<v Speaker 3>women wholes.

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:35.200
<v Speaker 1>It's probably definitely some new age, new age shit, which

0:51:35.239 --> 0:51:36.840
<v Speaker 1>is why a lot of the women were concerned. And

0:51:36.840 --> 0:51:39.400
<v Speaker 1>it feels like it seems like on the internet people

0:51:39.400 --> 0:51:43.359
<v Speaker 1>were only bashing women that in this day time, people

0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:46.280
<v Speaker 1>were only bashing the women at freakning. But I definitely

0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 1>saw somebody looking Kouchi through jeans on a documentary and

0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:53.799
<v Speaker 1>nobody talking nobody really talked about the men and what

0:51:53.840 --> 0:51:55.120
<v Speaker 1>they did a Freakning.

0:51:55.440 --> 0:51:58.240
<v Speaker 6>The men were absolutely out of control. First of all,

0:51:58.640 --> 0:52:01.040
<v Speaker 6>we weren't out of control on ourself.

0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:09.600
<v Speaker 8>Because in the nineties there was not a public, open

0:52:09.840 --> 0:52:15.759
<v Speaker 8>culture of shall I say, a freedom of.

0:52:16.040 --> 0:52:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Bisexual, homosexual or just.

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:25.480
<v Speaker 6>Freedom homosexuality, bisexuality and definitely transgender. You didn't see that

0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:29.880
<v Speaker 6>in Freaknik. For the most part, Freaknik was what you

0:52:30.120 --> 0:52:35.040
<v Speaker 6>saw on display in most of the presentation appeared to

0:52:35.080 --> 0:52:39.000
<v Speaker 6>be heterosexual. I'm not saying that it was all heterosexual,

0:52:39.080 --> 0:52:41.160
<v Speaker 6>because listen, I wasn't with everybody. I had a hard

0:52:41.160 --> 0:52:44.320
<v Speaker 6>time keeper of my own self, Okay, I didn't always

0:52:44.320 --> 0:52:47.840
<v Speaker 6>know what the hell out so but what you saw

0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:50.680
<v Speaker 6>for the most part appeared to be heterosexual, right, and

0:52:50.760 --> 0:52:54.640
<v Speaker 6>it appeared to be college people. Now, everybody might not

0:52:54.800 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 6>be in college, but there was certainly college age. And

0:52:58.239 --> 0:53:05.439
<v Speaker 6>the dudes were absolutely out of control. They had most

0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:08.280
<v Speaker 6>of them didn't had their shirt on. Okay, a whole

0:53:08.360 --> 0:53:13.080
<v Speaker 6>lot of them had their like cut off shorts and

0:53:13.120 --> 0:53:15.160
<v Speaker 6>stuff that you know now they be like the hooja

0:53:15.239 --> 0:53:18.000
<v Speaker 6>daddy shorts and stuff like that, and they were popping it.

0:53:18.040 --> 0:53:20.759
<v Speaker 6>That's what I want also, everybody know these dudes were

0:53:20.840 --> 0:53:24.799
<v Speaker 6>not walking around looking all damn cool and just doing

0:53:24.840 --> 0:53:28.759
<v Speaker 6>a little slight bopping a two step. These dudes were

0:53:28.800 --> 0:53:32.279
<v Speaker 6>putting their shoulder and they back into it. They were

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:36.200
<v Speaker 6>taking it down, they were scrubbing it. They had their

0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:39.640
<v Speaker 6>knees in, they back in it. They were popping they

0:53:39.800 --> 0:53:43.239
<v Speaker 6>dicks as hard as we was copping out, you hear me,

0:53:43.719 --> 0:53:48.520
<v Speaker 6>because if you couldn't pop it back, we want to

0:53:48.600 --> 0:53:50.000
<v Speaker 6>actually see that hip thrust.

0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:54.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah right, let me see that hip thrust he had back.

0:53:55.320 --> 0:54:01.560
<v Speaker 6>Yes, had to be able to dance as uh energetically

0:54:02.239 --> 0:54:04.560
<v Speaker 6>as we were, or we wasn't fooling with him. We

0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:06.880
<v Speaker 6>were like what you you're not about to just watch

0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:11.440
<v Speaker 6>me sweat and grunt and burn all these calories and

0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:14.320

<v Speaker 6>his knees could keep him down there than the most

0:54:56.440 --> 0:54:58.520

<v Speaker 6>to be able to like walk, you know what I mean,

1:06:49.640 --> 1:06:51.960
<v Speaker 6>or like if you were in there in the grass,

1:06:52.040 --> 1:06:53.400
<v Speaker 6>or if you were in the street, or if you

1:06:53.840 --> 1:06:56.040
<v Speaker 6>jumped in and out of somebody's car. You know, you

1:06:56.120 --> 1:07:04.880
<v Speaker 6>need some stability for your ankles. And I like shirts

1:07:04.920 --> 1:07:08.440
<v Speaker 6>that had something kind of funny on it or something

1:07:08.480 --> 1:07:12.000
<v Speaker 6>that was kind of like a something to talk about, right,

1:07:12.120 --> 1:07:15.360
<v Speaker 6>like either like a black Bart Simpsons shirt that we

1:07:15.400 --> 1:07:17.919
<v Speaker 6>had black. We had Bart Simpsons shirts where Barn had

1:07:18.160 --> 1:07:22.640
<v Speaker 6>dreadlocks and shit like that. So somewhere that would be

1:07:22.800 --> 1:07:26.160
<v Speaker 6>like oh sor I say, I see you, I'd be

1:07:26.240 --> 1:07:30.800

1:07:30.960 --> 1:07:35.960
<v Speaker 6>plain white ash shirt. I'm gonna give you a conversation piece, yo, man,

1:07:36.120 --> 1:07:38.880
<v Speaker 6>Come on, baby, what your mama told you to sell me?

1:07:45.800 --> 1:07:48.440
<v Speaker 3>What would you say made ninety four more special than

1:07:48.480 --> 1:07:50.040
<v Speaker 3>the other years? Or do you agree with that?

1:07:50.320 --> 1:07:54.280
<v Speaker 6>I do agree with the fact that ninety four was

1:07:54.680 --> 1:08:01.040
<v Speaker 6>the best year. I think, uh, it was kind of

1:08:01.320 --> 1:08:04.240
<v Speaker 6>a map. It was a combination of things. Number One,

1:08:04.320 --> 1:08:09.040
<v Speaker 6>I think the word had really gotten out about like

1:08:09.200 --> 1:08:13.040
<v Speaker 6>just word of mouth had traveled real good by then, right,

1:08:13.760 --> 1:08:19.680
<v Speaker 6>and the Olympics hadn't happened, right, Like, you know, I

1:08:19.720 --> 1:08:23.400
<v Speaker 6>think if the Olympics. Now, I'm happy that the Olympics

1:08:23.400 --> 1:08:28.240
<v Speaker 6>came to Atlanta overall, but if the Olympics didn't happen

1:08:28.240 --> 1:08:31.400
<v Speaker 6>in ninety six, I don't think ninety four would have

1:08:31.439 --> 1:08:33.680
<v Speaker 6>been in the ES the best year. I think in

1:08:33.760 --> 1:08:36.000
<v Speaker 6>ninety six, you know, I mean, I think every year

1:08:36.120 --> 1:08:37.120
<v Speaker 6>would have continued.

1:08:38.320 --> 1:08:40.040
<v Speaker 3>That was like the peak for Freaknink.

1:08:40.160 --> 1:08:44.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, ninety four was the peak because of the Olympics.

1:08:44.720 --> 1:08:48.920
<v Speaker 6>That's my personal opinion. But when the once Atlanta secured

1:08:48.960 --> 1:08:54.360
<v Speaker 6>the Olympics, then the city changed the way they responded

1:08:54.520 --> 1:09:01.240
<v Speaker 6>to Freaknik. Not that the Freaknik goers started to change

1:09:01.640 --> 1:09:04.360
<v Speaker 6>what we wanted to do. When the city started to

1:09:04.479 --> 1:09:10.400
<v Speaker 6>change how they allowed where we could go, then that

1:09:10.600 --> 1:09:13.240
<v Speaker 6>changed the freedom we couldn't. We couldn't just kind of

1:09:13.320 --> 1:09:17.760
<v Speaker 6>flow and meander and be it. You know, it made

1:09:17.800 --> 1:09:23.840
<v Speaker 6>it way too restricted. I personally believed that the dynamics

1:09:23.880 --> 1:09:34.320
<v Speaker 6>of Atlanta getting the Olympics made the city this Well, no,

1:09:34.560 --> 1:09:36.000
<v Speaker 6>then that what made you stop going.

1:09:36.800 --> 1:09:44.920
<v Speaker 9>I moved, I graduated, I graduated college, and I moved

1:09:44.920 --> 1:09:49.800
<v Speaker 9>to Detroit because I was then an engineer for Ford and.

1:09:49.760 --> 1:09:53.120
<v Speaker 6>Therefore sent me to Spain. Right, So it was a

1:09:53.120 --> 1:09:57.960
<v Speaker 6>combination of I I was no longer uh, I wasn't

1:09:58.000 --> 1:10:05.000
<v Speaker 6>even in the United States, and I heard that things

1:10:05.040 --> 1:10:08.200
<v Speaker 6>were changing, and I was like, well, damn, they're not

1:10:08.320 --> 1:10:13.080
<v Speaker 6>letting us kind of meander and mingle. That's that's what

1:10:13.120 --> 1:10:17.160
<v Speaker 6>it was about, like the freaknik being. The destination was Atlanta,

1:10:17.640 --> 1:10:20.920
<v Speaker 6>there was no address. The address was Atlanta, Georgia. You

1:10:21.000 --> 1:10:24.160
<v Speaker 6>were not trying to I don't think I ever. I

1:10:24.760 --> 1:10:26.960
<v Speaker 6>don't know that I ever made it to pee my part.

1:10:27.200 --> 1:10:29.839
<v Speaker 6>I really was trying to remember. I don't ever remember

1:10:30.040 --> 1:10:34.160
<v Speaker 6>actually putting my on peed my part brass. I don't

1:10:34.160 --> 1:10:38.960
<v Speaker 6>think like I think I kind of saw. That's the

1:10:39.120 --> 1:10:41.800
<v Speaker 6>part down the street, right, I see it. There's like

1:10:41.880 --> 1:10:45.519
<v Speaker 6>two blocks away. I ain't never quite get there because

1:10:45.680 --> 1:10:51.040
<v Speaker 6>because who cared. You didn't nobody I didn't care about,

1:10:52.280 --> 1:10:54.240
<v Speaker 6>and you didn't care about who you saw. You didn't

1:10:54.240 --> 1:10:57.960
<v Speaker 6>care if you made it to the official concert or

1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:03.559
<v Speaker 6>the official party, that not that matter. And so I

1:11:03.680 --> 1:11:08.760
<v Speaker 6>graduated from college from Howard in ninety four, and then,

1:11:08.840 --> 1:11:12.080
<v Speaker 6>like I said, I moved to Detroit, and then Ford

1:11:12.160 --> 1:11:16.800
<v Speaker 6>sent me to Spain. And so there's logistics. But then

1:11:16.800 --> 1:11:19.400
<v Speaker 6>It's also that I heard how it was changing, and

1:11:19.439 --> 1:11:21.800
<v Speaker 6>so that's what kind of made me stop. But I

1:11:22.439 --> 1:11:27.760
<v Speaker 6>firmly believe if the city of Atlanta, and I'm not

1:11:28.880 --> 1:11:32.840
<v Speaker 6>I understand as a businesswoman, and I mean I'm a

1:11:33.000 --> 1:11:35.840
<v Speaker 6>very small businesswoman compared to the City of Atlanta, But

1:11:36.000 --> 1:11:40.160
<v Speaker 6>as a businesswoman and an entrepreneur, I understand Atlanta had

1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:43.599
<v Speaker 6>a decision to make You're about you're trying to play

1:11:43.640 --> 1:11:46.320
<v Speaker 6>ball on an international level. Now, it was the first

1:11:46.320 --> 1:11:50.680
<v Speaker 6>time Atlanta was given an international platform. And what you're

1:11:50.720 --> 1:11:56.280
<v Speaker 6>gonna do? Right? Yeah? And so freakent coming April, and

1:11:56.320 --> 1:11:59.080
<v Speaker 6>the Olympics are coming in the summer. What you're gonna do.

1:12:02.920 --> 1:12:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Right?

1:12:03.960 --> 1:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>That was one of my questions as an adult. Now

1:12:06.200 --> 1:12:09.839
<v Speaker 1>looking back, do you understand why Freaknik needed to be canceled?

1:12:09.840 --> 1:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>And aside from the Olympics and all that, just all

1:12:13.240 --> 1:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the different reports of all the violence that was taking

1:12:15.960 --> 1:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>place out there after I think might have been after

1:12:18.360 --> 1:12:19.639
<v Speaker 1>ninety four, maybe when.

1:12:21.760 --> 1:12:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Who weren't going to college got ahold of it.

1:12:24.400 --> 1:12:25.480
<v Speaker 6>So you got the dope.

1:12:25.200 --> 1:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Boys coming, all the niggas coming up from Miami, the

1:12:28.760 --> 1:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>niggas forty years old coming to Roman coming.

1:12:32.080 --> 1:12:34.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, so do you see now why it needed

1:12:34.520 --> 1:12:35.200
<v Speaker 3>to be canceled.

1:12:35.400 --> 1:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>We're from South Carolina, so we got olaf Fiers weekend.

1:12:40.040 --> 1:12:42.839
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever attend Demi? Yeah, yeah.

1:12:43.320 --> 1:12:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you think Freaknik could be successful today in Atlanta

1:12:48.600 --> 1:12:51.360
<v Speaker 2>like it was in the nineties, No.

1:12:52.479 --> 1:12:55.519
<v Speaker 6>Not the way it was the nineties. But I do

1:12:55.640 --> 1:13:00.240
<v Speaker 6>believe that the spirit of freak Nick could be successful,

1:13:01.400 --> 1:13:03.599
<v Speaker 6>Like you know, the spirit of freak Nick. Just meeting

1:13:04.240 --> 1:13:12.960
<v Speaker 6>a HBCU spring break something done by somebody. I think

1:13:13.000 --> 1:13:19.240
<v Speaker 6>that could be very successful. But what we did in

1:13:19.280 --> 1:13:27.280
<v Speaker 6>the nineties was so organic. The coordinators of Freaknik didn't

1:13:27.280 --> 1:13:30.200
<v Speaker 6>mean which which is what you see the documentary. They

1:13:30.200 --> 1:13:32.960
<v Speaker 6>didn't mean for They didn't know it was going to

1:13:33.040 --> 1:13:36.960
<v Speaker 6>morph into what it was, right. It's some things you

1:13:37.000 --> 1:13:40.280
<v Speaker 6>gotta just starting, and then the people take it to

1:13:40.360 --> 1:13:43.880
<v Speaker 6>what they wanted to be. You know, Freaknick. As you've

1:13:43.880 --> 1:13:47.640
<v Speaker 6>seen the documentary, it was just it was hb It

1:13:47.760 --> 1:13:53.400
<v Speaker 6>was the Au Center. So people at Mars Brown, Clark, Moorehouse,

1:13:53.439 --> 1:13:57.400
<v Speaker 6>and Spelman who could not afford to go back home

1:13:57.640 --> 1:14:00.280
<v Speaker 6>for spring break. They were from d C. And they

1:14:00.320 --> 1:14:02.080
<v Speaker 6>decided we're going to have a.

1:14:02.040 --> 1:14:06.040
<v Speaker 10>Picnic and we're just gonna hang out for a day

1:14:06.200 --> 1:14:08.800
<v Speaker 10>or two just because we don't have nowhere else to go.

1:14:08.920 --> 1:14:11.200
<v Speaker 10>We don't want to stay in the dorm all damn week,

1:14:11.360 --> 1:14:14.479
<v Speaker 10>because everybody else went somewhere for spring break. Maybe they

1:14:14.520 --> 1:14:17.439
<v Speaker 10>went to Bikers to Black Bikers Week, or maybe they

1:14:17.479 --> 1:14:22.240
<v Speaker 10>went to Daytona and so, but eventually everybody said, well, shit,

1:14:22.520 --> 1:14:24.800
<v Speaker 10>we now want to go to Freakentin if we want

1:14:24.840 --> 1:14:25.080
<v Speaker 10>to be.

1:14:25.040 --> 1:14:29.960
<v Speaker 6>In Atlanta and be together. And you know, I believe

1:14:30.000 --> 1:14:37.400
<v Speaker 6>what happened was after Atlanta got the Olympics. Just it's

1:14:37.479 --> 1:14:39.920
<v Speaker 6>kind of like what happens with super Bowl when people

1:14:39.960 --> 1:14:43.840
<v Speaker 6>go to the super Bowl. Because of the Super Bowl,

1:14:43.880 --> 1:14:46.280
<v Speaker 6>a whole lot of people who don't give a shit

1:14:46.360 --> 1:14:50.360
<v Speaker 6>about football end up going to that city to do

1:14:51.120 --> 1:14:55.599
<v Speaker 6>illegal or immoral things and to take advantage of people

1:14:55.640 --> 1:14:58.800
<v Speaker 6>that might be young or weak or whatever. That's the

1:14:58.800 --> 1:15:01.840
<v Speaker 6>same thing that happened, I believe after the Olympics. So

1:15:02.040 --> 1:15:04.800
<v Speaker 6>after the Olympics, you just got people in Atlanta who

1:15:04.800 --> 1:15:08.200
<v Speaker 6>are just trying to make that money on whoever, on

1:15:08.400 --> 1:15:11.960
<v Speaker 6>anybody in Atlanta that might be weak or vulnerable. So

1:15:12.280 --> 1:15:15.760
<v Speaker 6>they just hung around Atlanta. And so when Freaknick rolling around,

1:15:15.760 --> 1:15:19.879
<v Speaker 6>they're like, oh, shit, you got all these young college kids,

1:15:20.240 --> 1:15:22.599
<v Speaker 6>they have a really good time for a couple of days.

1:15:22.640 --> 1:15:25.080
<v Speaker 6>They might be drunk, they might be high. Oh both.

1:15:25.160 --> 1:15:26.840
<v Speaker 6>Let me go ahead, let me get this. I'm gonna

1:15:26.840 --> 1:15:28.800
<v Speaker 6>try to do some sex trafficking. I'm gonna try to

1:15:28.800 --> 1:15:32.200
<v Speaker 6>put some of these girls into the prostitution. Okay, what's

1:15:32.240 --> 1:15:35.280
<v Speaker 6>the same thing that happens at NBA All Star Weekend

1:15:35.600 --> 1:15:38.040
<v Speaker 6>or Mardi Gras. But why are you gonna try to

1:15:38.120 --> 1:15:40.720
<v Speaker 6>act like it's different just because it's Freaknick. Whenever you

1:15:40.880 --> 1:15:46.120
<v Speaker 6>get hundreds of thousands of young people, even at like right, well,

1:15:46.200 --> 1:15:48.040
<v Speaker 6>when all the white kids go down of Fort Lauderdale,

1:15:48.080 --> 1:15:50.040
<v Speaker 6>they're doing the same shit. They do the same stuff.

1:15:50.040 --> 1:15:53.439
<v Speaker 6>They're trying to pluck young girls, they've put them into

1:15:53.479 --> 1:15:56.120
<v Speaker 6>the system and go sell them out of the prostitution

1:15:56.640 --> 1:16:03.000
<v Speaker 6>somewhere in Taiwan. But the problem was because because of

1:16:03.040 --> 1:16:05.599
<v Speaker 6>the Olympics in Atlanta needed to look clean. You had

1:16:05.600 --> 1:16:10.400
<v Speaker 6>to fix it, Benny, Benny, benny fast. So I'm not

1:16:10.600 --> 1:16:16.000
<v Speaker 6>against them, say hey, rather than let freak Nick become

1:16:17.360 --> 1:16:23.200
<v Speaker 6>totally negative, let's end it. Because it didn't have any parameters,

1:16:23.240 --> 1:16:25.840
<v Speaker 6>like there was no one place to put it. There

1:16:25.880 --> 1:16:28.800
<v Speaker 6>was no one place to take it because Freak Nick

1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:33.559
<v Speaker 6>was a street party on all the streets of all

1:16:33.640 --> 1:16:36.320
<v Speaker 6>of the Atlanta you know, So so what could so

1:16:36.360 --> 1:16:39.120
<v Speaker 6>what can you do? I think for something like Freaknick

1:16:39.240 --> 1:16:43.479
<v Speaker 6>to be successful, you really have to. It has to

1:16:43.520 --> 1:16:46.840
<v Speaker 6>start organically from a pure place, the way the first

1:16:46.840 --> 1:16:47.200
<v Speaker 6>one did.

1:16:51.120 --> 1:16:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm. Yeah.

1:16:53.160 --> 1:16:55.439
<v Speaker 1>But see now, even down in Miami, they're trying to

1:16:55.439 --> 1:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>get rid of Memorial Day weekend down there too, where

1:16:58.000 --> 1:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>black people tend to gravitate. You got all the locals like,

1:17:01.360 --> 1:17:03.599
<v Speaker 1>don't come to Miami this memory of they weekend. They

1:17:03.600 --> 1:17:04.960
<v Speaker 1>have like commercials about the shit.

1:17:05.080 --> 1:17:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Now oh yeah, spring break too, don't come to Miami

1:17:08.160 --> 1:17:08.880
<v Speaker 2>for spring break?

1:17:09.160 --> 1:17:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Where are the kids to go? You know?

1:17:11.280 --> 1:17:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Like is there anything black? Is there any black event

1:17:14.880 --> 1:17:16.439
<v Speaker 2>for black college students?

1:17:16.520 --> 1:17:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Right now? During spring?

1:17:17.680 --> 1:17:18.759
<v Speaker 6>They shutting down Miami.

1:17:18.920 --> 1:17:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Not really, not really, They have to wait for home coming.

1:17:23.240 --> 1:17:24.759
<v Speaker 6>Why they shutting down Miami again?

1:17:26.080 --> 1:17:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Damn, I should have been twenty the nineties. They just

1:17:31.640 --> 1:17:33.400
<v Speaker 2>said they don't want them to come there no more.

1:17:33.439 --> 1:17:35.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, because I mean people go to Miami, but

1:17:35.400 --> 1:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>then the locals they don't want those locals from Opa Laka,

1:17:39.360 --> 1:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the Haitian niggas coming because the one time I went,

1:17:42.560 --> 1:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Nah, never fuck again, because it don't

1:17:44.720 --> 1:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>even matter if you fully clothed or you're ass hanging out.

1:17:47.080 --> 1:17:50.080
<v Speaker 1>A nigga is trying to put his hands on your

1:17:50.120 --> 1:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>anatomy and I don't go for that shit because I

1:17:52.400 --> 1:17:53.080
<v Speaker 1>ain't come back for that.

1:17:53.120 --> 1:17:54.400
<v Speaker 3>And it's bitch as that came for that.

1:17:54.800 --> 1:17:56.599
<v Speaker 6>Like it's hot.

1:17:57.040 --> 1:18:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they don't care. I'm bitchous. I'm you ain't come

1:18:01.880 --> 1:18:04.360
<v Speaker 3>for that ship. Shut up. I just be telling jokes.

1:18:04.960 --> 1:18:07.760
<v Speaker 3>These be jokes. Please don't think you could motherfucking touch

1:18:07.840 --> 1:18:09.400
<v Speaker 3>me out right getting shot.

1:18:12.400 --> 1:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you think freaknik influenced today's sexy reds and all

1:18:16.800 --> 1:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>these people that the aunties because we you know, people

1:18:19.320 --> 1:18:22.880
<v Speaker 1>might consider us aunties. We talked about how people are

1:18:22.960 --> 1:18:26.080
<v Speaker 1>out here wilder now. But do you think like the environment,

1:18:26.120 --> 1:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>like a freaknik environment, that whole kind of influence what

1:18:30.360 --> 1:18:33.920
<v Speaker 1>we see now because we're talking Uncle Luke, we're.

1:18:33.760 --> 1:18:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Talking about Howard. Yes, I think, what do you think?

1:18:41.080 --> 1:18:45.320
<v Speaker 6>I think it was a part of like the pebbles

1:18:45.360 --> 1:18:51.519
<v Speaker 6>that just pushed forward women having more say so the

1:18:51.560 --> 1:18:54.280
<v Speaker 6>whole we talk back now in a more but the

<v Speaker 6>kind of say the nineties, I mean free Nick from

1:19:02.160 --> 1:19:06.080
<v Speaker 6>the eighties to like I'll even say ninety five just

1:19:06.200 --> 1:19:11.120
<v Speaker 6>before the before the Olympics, because it showed that was

1:19:11.200 --> 1:19:14.599
<v Speaker 6>kind of the beginning of where you really Before then

1:19:14.640 --> 1:19:23.519
<v Speaker 6>you didn't see women as much having controlled or having

1:19:23.560 --> 1:19:26.439
<v Speaker 6>something to say. But that was at the same time

1:19:26.479 --> 1:19:29.280
<v Speaker 6>where Salt Pepper was then coming out with their videos,

1:19:29.400 --> 1:19:33.640
<v Speaker 6>like you mentioned aDNA Howard or Quainn Latifa, So you

1:19:33.840 --> 1:19:39.400

<v Speaker 3>Well we so this.

1:21:11.840 --> 1:21:16.000
<v Speaker 6>Whole gotta take it from you to get mine because

<v Speaker 6>you ain't ship. That's that's not Freaknick.

1:21:20.400 --> 1:21:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because Freaknick the girls that Freakingik went on to

1:21:24.400 --> 1:21:25.000
<v Speaker 3>be lawyer.

1:21:27.520 --> 1:21:29.960
<v Speaker 6>Comedians, President of the United States.

1:21:32.439 --> 1:21:36.400
<v Speaker 3>For that party, got that hand.

1:21:38.280 --> 1:21:41.040
<v Speaker 6>That's that's something that was, and I was telling that

1:21:41.080 --> 1:21:43.720
<v Speaker 6>to some of my younger cousins. I was like, yeah,

1:21:43.760 --> 1:21:47.479
<v Speaker 6>the thing is, we did all of that ship. And

1:21:47.680 --> 1:21:53.479
<v Speaker 6>also on the way back from Freaknick, I had legit

1:21:53.960 --> 1:21:57.479
<v Speaker 6>an old school ass flashlight in the backseat of the

1:21:57.560 --> 1:22:00.599
<v Speaker 6>car doing my calculus homework on the way back from

1:22:00.640 --> 1:22:04.680
<v Speaker 6>Freaknick because I'm about to turn these fucking pages in

1:22:05.200 --> 1:22:07.160
<v Speaker 6>because i still got to go to class, because I'm

1:22:07.160 --> 1:22:10.160
<v Speaker 6>not about to get fucking put out of school, right

1:22:10.160 --> 1:22:13.320
<v Speaker 6>because I got it grind, I'm still get this job

1:22:13.320 --> 1:22:15.280
<v Speaker 6>before and they still about to still meet the spring

1:22:15.880 --> 1:22:17.360
<v Speaker 6>the goals was different.

1:22:18.439 --> 1:22:22.960
<v Speaker 2>And I'm also out of quarters, so right, the thing

1:22:23.120 --> 1:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>was we all win.

1:22:23.960 --> 1:22:26.479
<v Speaker 6>It, right, the thing was, And now what we're gonna

1:22:26.520 --> 1:22:29.479
<v Speaker 6>do at Freaknik, though, is we're gonna party our ass

1:22:29.520 --> 1:22:33.600
<v Speaker 6>off in a way that we can't do anywhere else, right, like,

1:22:33.840 --> 1:22:37.800
<v Speaker 6>because that was so big and then in the nineties

1:22:37.920 --> 1:22:42.240
<v Speaker 6>and at HBCU's period is you can be your full self, right,

1:22:42.320 --> 1:22:44.639
<v Speaker 6>you don't have to worry about race being an issue.

1:22:45.000 --> 1:22:49.639
<v Speaker 6>So because we did go in the eighties, we would

1:22:49.680 --> 1:22:53.360
<v Speaker 6>go to the white spring breaks because we had no

1:22:53.400 --> 1:22:55.439
<v Speaker 6>all the spring break right, so they if you could

1:22:55.479 --> 1:22:57.280
<v Speaker 6>You would try to get to dayte to beach or

1:22:57.280 --> 1:22:59.120
<v Speaker 6>you would try to get to whatever, and you were like,

1:22:59.200 --> 1:23:02.439
<v Speaker 6>they don't they don't want us here. They're not they

1:23:02.479 --> 1:23:04.639
<v Speaker 6>don't want us on their beach, they don't want us

1:23:04.720 --> 1:23:08.800
<v Speaker 6>at the little restaurants and all that. So when freak

1:23:08.880 --> 1:23:14.040
<v Speaker 6>Nick started to expand, it was like, oh shit, every party,

1:23:14.520 --> 1:23:19.559
<v Speaker 6>every parking lot, every the hood of every car, I'm welcome.

1:23:19.720 --> 1:23:22.760
<v Speaker 6>I can't do no wrong. Like whoever I start dancing with,

1:23:23.000 --> 1:23:27.360
<v Speaker 6>he gonna dance back. If everybody got a cool a

1:23:27.400 --> 1:23:31.400
<v Speaker 6>beer or drinks and hunch punch in their car and

1:23:31.520 --> 1:23:33.400
<v Speaker 6>all you gotta do is walk down the street with

1:23:33.560 --> 1:23:36.280
<v Speaker 6>a cup, is somebody gonna pour you part of their

1:23:36.280 --> 1:23:39.000
<v Speaker 6>beer in it? It was fake, but it was like

1:23:39.080 --> 1:23:43.360
<v Speaker 6>the biggest, baddest family reunion. But to what related to nobody?

1:23:43.360 --> 1:23:45.479
<v Speaker 6>It's such at one time it was really my cousin.

1:23:51.080 --> 1:23:53.599
