So I'm excited to be a part of 62 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: the inaugural rollout on Netflix, and just I'm living my 63 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: answer prayers and my biggest prayer. These last couple of 64 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: days have been about like peace and consistency and peace 65 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: of mind. But today a little man, a little miniature 66 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 2: man by the name of Charlotte Mayne, we were talking 67 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: about the fact that, like, you know, I've been telling 68 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: y'all here on the podcast, like I've been stressed out 69 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: because I just feel like I'm not on my Like 70 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: I need to operate a two hundred percent, and I 71 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: feel like I'm not on my two hundred percent a 72 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: plus game sometimes about some things, and that bothers me. 73 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: Not because of the outward you know whatever. It's whatever people, 74 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: even when I'm on my five hundred percent game, it's 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: always something being said. But just internally, I just know 76 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: the level of achievement I like to operate within, and 77 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: I couldn't figure out kind of like what the role 78 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: block was. Within these last forty eight hours, I figured 79 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: out the role block was myself. I was in my 80 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: own way not leaning into the things that are readily 81 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: available for me for various reasons. But you know, I 82 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: think one of the biggest things is, you know, feeling 83 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: like I can do all things, and what I've learned 84 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: is that I can't. So I have to use that 85 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: I got to get to where I want to get to, 86 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: and what I got is not working. It's time to 87 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: rearrange and reorder. But I can't rearrange and reorder if 88 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: I haven't given certain things the real run of the 89 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: mile that it deserves. And on every new level, it 90 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: requires a new version of yourself. And I think what 91 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: slipped from you know, my understanding and from my mind 92 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: And this is why I told you guys in the 93 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: last couple of episodes, like I think a part of 94 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: it too is like getting back into, like heavily getting 95 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 2: back into like just talking to God more. I've been 96 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: running so fast. I was hearing God, but I wasn't 97 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: talking back to him, and we weren't in conversation. He 98 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: was just popping in every now and then to be like, okay, 99 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: you know, because warning comes before destruction. But on every 100 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: new level, things change. And I think what I did 101 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: was is I started feeling this new level of things, 102 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: but my mind wasn't operating on that new level of things, 103 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 2: and I wasn't looking around me. And not only like 104 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: it's not that I'm not grateful for what's happening, but 105 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: I think you just I mean you just can't operate 106 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: certain ways within certain spaces, and me not realizing that 107 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 2: I was kind of operating, you know, from point A 108 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: and I've already arrived at point like g it was 109 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: kind of like I was going against the green, you know, 110 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: putting the pressure on myself and things of that nature. 111 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: So now, you know, I feel like I'm coming up 112 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: on the other side of it, and I think it's 113 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: because i've, like again, I think me talking to Guy 114 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: was a big part of it. Accountability is the other. 115 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 2: So here we are so Netflix The Latest with Laura 116 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 2: de Rosa will be on Netflix January twenty sixth. We 117 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 2: of course will always still be here on the podcast 118 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: side of things every weekday with all the things, because 119 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: that's just how it goes. So let's get on end too. 120 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: The Latest. So I broke in who said today?

Right. So, 158 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: a part of the issue here was that they alleged 159 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: that during whatever alleged physical altercation that went down with 160 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: Trey Songs and whoever the issue was with, inside the 161 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: mirror this hook a lounge, right, they alleged that there 162 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 2: was like all this damage done to the inside of 163 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: the place, from the furniture and you know whatever.

His security intervened to protect him and 171 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: contain the situation. His attorney then continued, public figures are 172 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 2: often treated as targets for instigation in pursuit of headlines 173 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 2: or financial gain. Public figures are often treated as targets 174 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: for instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gain. We 175 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: are confident that the facts will speak for themselves. So 176 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: this was a few weeks ago. So today, earlier this 177 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 2: morning here in a court in New York, a judge 178 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: decided to dismiss that criminal mischief charge that came after 179 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: this alleged hookah incident. So, in me breaking this story, 180 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 2: the source that I spoke to that kind of gave 181 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: me some information on the inside. A source very close 182 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: to the investigation tells me that the reason why this 183 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: this charge was dismissed because the appearing prosecutor, who was 184 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: not the assigned attorney, stated from their prepared notes that 185 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: the bar owner was not cooperating and that the damages 186 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 2: from a multi person altered creation were significantly less than 187 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: initially reported. He acknowledged this is the appearing prosecutor that 188 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: the office could not prove the charge beyond a reasonable 189 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: doubt and agreed dismissal was warranted. So Trey songs off 190 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 2: on that one. But we talked about this city on 191 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. In the meantime, he's choosing to, you know, 192 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 2: file some lawsuits of his own. He's recently filed a 193 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: lawsuit against the Kansas City Police Department because back in 194 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, he got in this incident at a 195 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs game where he was like in a 196 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: tussle of sorts with people in the stands, and security 197 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: came and tried to like it's like they tried to 198 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 2: break it up, but then they were like a part 199 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: of the time it was like all So Trede Song 200 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: says that because they charged him with, you know, various 201 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: different things. He was charged with trespassing, resisting rests, assaulting 202 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: a police officer, and all of this was ultimately dismissed. 203 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: So Trey Song says, because of these charges, because of 204 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: the headlines that came after this incident went viral and 205 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: the reports and the charges, he suffered physical injuries, emotional distress, 206 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 2: damage to his personal reputation, financial laws all as a 207 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: result as incident, and he also claimed that the Kansas 208 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: City Police Department used excessive force before wrongfully detaining and 209 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: arresting him. So he is seeking some damages. There is 210 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: no number listed for what he wants, but he ain't playing. 211 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: He's coming back for a vengeance, so we'll see what happens. 212 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: The Kansas City Police Department provided a statement to some outlets, 213 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: but they didn't really say much. In response to trade songs, 214 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: they said, generally, we do not comment on pending litigation 215 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: to ensure fairness for all sizes involved. Anything we had 216 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: previously said on the subject and the process of your 217 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: reporting is available for use, but nothing further at this time. 218 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: So nothing further. Now let's switch gears. So next up 219 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 2: in the latest Naomi Osaka. Now I've been itching to 220 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: have this conversation because Naomi Osaka participated in the Australian Open. 221 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: Right she won in the second round against Serena CRESTI 222 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 2: probably saying the name wrong, my bad girl. So Naomi 223 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: Osaka is playing in this tennis match and before she 224 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: goes up for her serve, she's like hyping herself up. 225 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to Naomi Osaka before she goes 226 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: up for her serve, so they go through the motions 227 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 2: or whatever matches over. Naomi Osaka then goes up to 228 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: shake hands with her opponent whom she just beat fair 229 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: and square, and let's take a listen to what happens. 230 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: Sarana Chrstaia is a tough competitor. She came to play tonight. 231 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: What did it take to get through that one? Apparently 232 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: a lot of come on said? She was angry about it, 233 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: but whatever, she's a great player. I think this was 234 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: her last Australian Open, so okay, sorry, she wasn't mad 235 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: about it, but well she was complaining because between the 236 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: first and second, sir, she could hear you just trying 237 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: to pump yourself up. Was that the problem? I think so? 238 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: But like she could have asked me, like. 239 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: Girl, I'm sorry, I don't know what it is like 240 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 2: and this is a crazy thing I went. So, you guys, 241 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 2: remember back when Taylor Townsend had the issue at the 242 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: US Open, we covered that here. We covered a lot 243 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: of the US Open stuff here. Because I went to 244 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: the US Open, we did like a whole few episodes 245 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: on it. Make sure you guys go back and take 246 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: a listen to that, because I actually I like tennis. 247 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: I'm not a person that like avidly sits and sits 248 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 2: and watches it. I did watch Taylor Townsend throughout her 249 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: time there. I've like, you know, I went, I enjoyed, 250 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: we got to see cocoa golf. I used to play 251 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: like middle school, elementary school for like seven eight years, 252 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: and at one point, I don't even know if I 253 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: really wanted to play tennis, to be honest with you guys, 254 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: I think it was more like the ambition to be 255 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: good at something enough where it would like change my 256 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: whole world. Like I've always been a person that like 257 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: had like really big dreams, wanted to like be in 258 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 2: front of people, be on stages, and tennis to me 259 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 2: was like a stage because everyone sits in they watch 260 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: you and like whatever. Right, So in me being a 261 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: tennis girl, Lee, I be watching a lot of these 262 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: incidents go down and I'm like, y'all, niggas got the 263 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: right one like some of this stuff. And let me 264 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: just preface this by saying, I am at a point 265 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: in my life where like, professionally, nothing is going to 266 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: damage everything I've worked for. Like nothing, nobody I'm not 267 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: going to let anyone trick me out of my spot ever. 268 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: Not today, not tomorrow, not next month, not last year 269 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: or the year before. It's not happening. I've worked very 270 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: hard to get to where I'm at, and I am 271 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: literally living my entwer prayers. You will not get up 272 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: under me and snatch that rug. Won't happen, baby. So 273 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: I'm not in any way saying that I think that 274 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: Naomi Osaker, any of the girls who have gotten in 275 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 2: these on the court incidents should crash out to the 276 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: point where they risk things. But I do think that 277 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: there's a level of humility that we have to show. 278 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: When I say we women in sports, yes, but women 279 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: in sports, let's be very specific. There's a level of 280 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: humility that we have to show that pisces me and 281 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: I don't even cuss. Pisces me the fuck pisces me off. 282 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: It pisces me off so bad because it's like Naomi Osaka, 283 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: Taylor Townsend, even Serena Williams. When Serena Williams had the 284 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: incident where she threw down her racket and she had 285 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: to pay the seventeen thousand dollar fine. All of these 286 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: women have worked very very very hard to be allowed 287 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: the space to have a competitive attitude. But the minute 288 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: we do, it's a problem. When we do it, it 289 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 2: ain't an issue when they do it. The minute we 290 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: do it, it's such a it's a problem. And I 291 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: hate to see, like my biggest thing, like I hate 292 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: to see anybody like belittle themselves or shrink themselves or 293 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: act like they're just happy to be somewhere because there's 294 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: not a lot of us in a room And oh 295 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: my god, I feel like with all of these tennis 296 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 2: incidents with these black girls, it pisses me off. So 297 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: Naomi Osaka, after this incident, she made these comments, right, 298 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 2: she's competitive, She's talking of shit. She made these comments, 299 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 2: and then in the post interview, she apologized, let's take 300 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: a listen. 301 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: Well, if I'm being honest, I've never been involved in 302 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: something like this before, so it's like, I don't know, 303 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: like if we're supposed to leave it on the court 304 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: and be like, hey, how you doing. I'm a little confused, 305 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: But like I get that emotions were very high for her, 306 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: and I also want to apologize. I think like the 307 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: first couple things that I said on the court was 308 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: disrespectful and I don't like disrespecting people. That's not what 309 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: I do. So yeah, if I mean, if she wants 310 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: to talk about it, then yeah, But like I like, 311 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 1: and I'm pumping myself up in my head, I'm not like, okay, 312 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: and now I'm going to distract the other person like 313 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: it's purely for me. 314 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 2: So no, granted, no one made her apologize. Naomi Osaka 315 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 2: is a very sweet I mean I've never met her, 316 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: but from what it seems like, Naomi Osaka is a 317 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 2: very sweet, humble, talented girl who just she's just not 318 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: not trying to be in all the drama, very in 319 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 2: tune with her emotions and her feelings and you know, 320 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 2: all of the things. Some of it she gets pushed 321 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 2: back for it, to be honest, the fact that she's 322 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: so in tune with her mental and her emotional and 323 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: her feelings and she wears it on her sleeve. But 324 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 2: I hated that she apologized. I don't think she should 325 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: have apologized. Now, I don't think that there was anything 326 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: wrong with her clarifying I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, 327 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: because you know that there are always I mean, it's 328 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 2: a problem when we do it. Ain't No problem, they 329 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: do it right. So of course there are people who 330 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: you know, responded to her having a little fun and 331 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 2: competitive edge on the court after she rightfully won a 332 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 2: match with she's out of line, she's this, she's that, 333 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: because the issue here is that her opponent, Serena basically 334 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 2: feels like Naomiyosaka being able to say come on when 335 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: going up right before her serve is against the rules 336 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 2: in tennis because you're supposed to be quiet. And that's 337 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 2: why naom Yo Sosaka said, you know, I didn't do 338 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 2: this too. No, there was no malice. I wasn't trying 339 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: to distract anybody or anything like that. I'm just hyping 340 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 2: myself up. Even the umpire, which a lot of times, 341 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: you know, the umpire was on naiom yosaka side, like, no, 342 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 2: she can say that she wasn't even up in her serve. 343 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: So for those of you guys who have not seen 344 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: this video, here's what the umpire made very clear. Let's 345 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: say listen, it's okay, you haven't got so I can 346 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: talk you three points? 347 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, can I go from on? And you're not selling? 348 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,239 Speaker 2: And what is happening is so when you go up 349 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: for a serf and like, you know, once the match 350 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: has started, it's you know, it's quiet. I mean a 351 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 2: lot of times you hear the racket, you might hear 352 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: the the you know those like noises, but the yelling 353 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 2: of the words and all that, even in the stands, 354 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 2: it's quiet. So the issue here was that Serena Cresti 355 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: is basically alleging that Naomiyo Osaka violated a rule by 356 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: saying come on now, and because of that, she shouldn't 357 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: have won that match. You wouldn't, but but her sportsmanship 358 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: was so shitty she wouldn't even shake her hand. Serena 359 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: Williams slammed a racket down right after, you know, feeling 360 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 2: the competitiveness and the rising of the spirit of the 361 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 2: game at you know, within the match that she was 362 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 2: playing and had to pay seventeen thousand dollars. This girl 363 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: won't even shake nawom Yosaka's hand. Arguing back and forth 364 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: with the ref walks out Scott free. Naomi Osaka, you know, 365 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: talks a little bit of her ish as she deserved to. 366 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: She did nothing wrong and still decided to apologize, and 367 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: me saying that I don't think that she should apologize 368 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 2: and hate and how I hate seeing her apologize. It 369 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 2: makes me think of that Taylor Townsend situation. And with 370 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 2: Taylor Townsend it was a bit different because I feel 371 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 2: like a lot of times in women's with women in general, 372 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 2: with us women, right, we go through these issues where 373 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: things are very passive. So it's the small innu windows. 374 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: It's the you know, not like there are things that 375 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: will happen to you when you were competing or operating 376 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 2: in a space where you were one of few. So 377 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 2: in this space, naom Yosaka is a black woman, woman 378 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: of color, operating in a space where there's not a 379 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 2: lot of her right. Taylor Town's in the same thing, 380 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 2: Serena Williams, the same thing. You know, any other woman listening, 381 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: whether it's your job, you know, whatever it is that 382 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: you got going on, right, But when you're a black woman, 383 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: it shrinks even more. It's even fewer, it's even less 384 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: most of the time in a lot of these places. 385 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 2: With Taylor Townsend, I feel like you couldn't get around 386 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 2: what happened to her when Nao yo Osaka. You can 387 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 2: debate whether or not you feel like she should have 388 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 2: been allowed to say, come on, she shouldn't have, but there, 389 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 2: what was said was said, the rule that was stood 390 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: on or in the lack thereof the umpire says she 391 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: did nothing wrong. That's what happened. So that's what we 392 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: have to take a phase value. But you can still 393 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: argue at all you want. You can argue whether you 394 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: know Serena Cresti had the right to fill away, you 395 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 2: can argue that. But with Taylor Town's in an incident 396 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 2: that happened with her during the US Open this year 397 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: when she was playing Helena Austin Pinko. Hopefully I said that, right, 398 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 2: Helena Austin Pinko, Right, And that's when refreshing you guys 399 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: brain on the story. But that's when they got into 400 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 2: it over a netball. So basically she felt like the 401 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 2: ball was hitting to the net and Taylor Towns and 402 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 2: should have apologized, which is like an unspoken rule. Then 403 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: she walked up on Taylor Towns and it called her 404 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: uneducated and she says she had no class, and it's like, girl, 405 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 2: a white woman cannot tell you can't say that to 406 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 2: a black woman in twenty twenty six, like or twenty 407 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: twenty five. At the time, it's twenty twenty six down, 408 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: But this happened last year. You cannot because and I 409 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: remember Helena Isen Pinkos, she had to like make a 410 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 2: statement and say, you know, her comments weren't racist and 411 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 2: she's not like all of the stuff, all the things. 412 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: If you guys want to refresh your memory, we did 413 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: a whole episode on that here with the latest with 414 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: Along the Roads of the podcast. But the reason why 415 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: she had to do that is because it was very blatant. 416 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 2: Regardless of what she took back in what she said, 417 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 2: those little innuendos, those microaggressions were very blatant in this situation, 418 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: they're not. So it puts uh, It puts Naili Osaka 419 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: in a position where she kind of doesn't have a 420 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 2: leg to stand on if she says, okay, not only 421 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: is it not okay for me as a woman in 422 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: sports to just be energized and had this competitive edge 423 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: and be yelling out whatever, but let's look at the 424 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: dynamic because she can't even bring that up at all. 425 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 2: I don't think that she's a person that would just 426 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: you know, do that anyway. She seems like she's more 427 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: of like a peace and love let's all figure this out. 428 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: Unity girl over anything, My girl Taylor Townsend when things 429 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: got crazy, she dropped the uh at the the knuck 430 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: if you buck on the on the photo from the match, like, yeah, 431 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 2: don't play with me, right, But even with Taylor Townsend, 432 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: she still went into a postgame interview and said she 433 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 2: didn't think it was racist, but she understood why we 434 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 2: felt like that. Let's take a listen to Taylor Townsend. 435 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 3: You know, she told me that I have no education, 436 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 3: no class, and to see what happens if we play 437 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 3: each other outside of you and I said, you know, 438 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 3: I'm excited, bring it. So I can't speak on how 439 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 3: she felt about it. That's something that you're going to 440 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 3: have to ask her. I didn't take it in that way. 441 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 3: But also, you know, that has been a stigma in 442 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: our community of you know, being not educated and all 443 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 3: the things, when it's the furthest thing from the truth 444 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 3: and the most the thing that I'm the most proud 445 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 3: of is that I let my racket talk because ultimately 446 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 3: I'm the one here sitting in front of you guys, 447 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 3: moving on to the next round, getting the next check, 448 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 3: moving on, being able to still be here and speak 449 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 3: to you guys, And that's what's the most important she's 450 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 3: packed up and she's gone, I'm here, and that's the 451 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 3: only thing that matters. So whether it had racial undertones 452 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 3: or not, that's something that she could speak on. But 453 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 3: the only thing that I'm worried about right now is 454 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 3: continuing to move forward through this tournament. I know that 455 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 3: I'm a fantastic tennis player, and I know that I 456 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 3: have a lot of things that I want to accomplish, 457 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 3: and this is another stepping stone. It's another brick that 458 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 3: I'm laying on my on my foundation or on my 459 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 3: road to greatness, you know. And so ultimately, you know, 460 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: whatever it is that it is, I don't take any 461 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 3: offense to it. But I'm really proud of the way 462 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 3: that I handle myself. And you know, more than anything, 463 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 3: of my son sees that. I know that he will 464 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: be proud of me as well, and that's what matters 465 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 3: the most. 466 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: I hate that we have to do this, and it's 467 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: not that we have to, Like we don't. People will 468 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 2: be like, well, that was their choice. We don't have 469 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: to do anything. We don't have to, But y'all understand 470 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 2: the boundaries and the audiences that these girls are up against. 471 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 2: Y'all get it. And if you don't get it. That's 472 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: a part of the problem as well. It was very 473 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 2: classy of you to apologize. Nayom Yosaka. You are a 474 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 2: class act. That is why you have been blessed with 475 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 2: everything that you have been given. The you know, God 476 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: always rewards people who treat everybody good, no matter how 477 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 2: they treat you, and I admire that. But you did 478 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 2: not have to do that at all. You did nothing wrong. 479 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: And I hope that in your mind you are not 480 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 2: living with your decision to be energized about a game 481 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 2: and a match that you love and that you were winning. 482 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 2: That is it. That is all, And I hope that 483 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 2: people surrounding you right now are telling you the same thing, 484 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: because when you do things, and like when when people 485 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 2: are reprimanded for things, or even just because she wasn't 486 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 2: reprimanded right like the umpire was on Naiomyosaka's side, but 487 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: when you're thinking about the world and how they perceive things, 488 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: and you know it just being an issue with women 489 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 2: in sports and them being aggressive in sports, and that 490 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: that is a real conversation.
