Speaker 1: Hey guys, Princess here and welcome to another episode of
Speaker 1: by Pumpkin Wrap Up Edition. So as you guys know this,
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, I plan on doing
Speaker 1: a small episode on Fridays where it's just thirty minutes
Speaker 1: to an hour of me talking about three, maybe four
Speaker 1: topics of things that came across my desk this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just wanted a space where I could like give
Speaker 1: you your more opinions. This week. I want to start
Speaker 1: off talking about Collin Goslin's book Gosling Gods. You know,
Speaker 1: when I was doing a bunch of those episodes for
Speaker 1: the for the bonus episodes, this is years ago, I
Speaker 1: did like a selection of like John and Kate plus
Speaker 1: eight and Kate plus eight episodes. I definitely got feedback
Speaker 1: that I am pronouncing their last name wrong and I
Speaker 1: now have no idea how to pronounce it. I think
Speaker 1: I was pronouncing that Goslin, or maybe I was saying Gosling.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't fucking know. But anyway, you
Speaker 1: know who the fuck I'm talking about, Colin from John
Speaker 1: and Kate plus eight. So here's the thing about Colin
Speaker 1: from John and Kate plus eight. If you don't know.
Speaker 1: Kate at some point had him put in. I don't
Speaker 1: want to say it's a mental health it could have
Speaker 1: been a mental health facility whatever it's called. When he
Speaker 1: could leave. He was a child. It's how old was he?
Speaker 1: Like twelve ish maybe thirteen, couldn't be fourteen or so,
Speaker 1: but around age he was putting one of those places.
Speaker 1: And we found out because John was like, I don't
Speaker 1: even know where Colin is. Listen before us to keep
Speaker 1: talking about this. Both John and Kate are monsters. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're both really really bad people. Kate is I okay,
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but be calling everybody narcissist. But
Speaker 1: he's a narciss She's a narcissist. I think she is
Speaker 1: a textbook definition of a narcissist. I think she's controlling.
Speaker 1: I think she is desperate to be seen a certain way.
Speaker 1: I think that she's one of the snipers from the side.
Speaker 1: I think you if you think her behavior on the show,
Speaker 1: the screaming, the ripping things from people, that sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: do you think that if you think that's that's the
Speaker 1: worst of it. I bet you. When we can't see her,
Speaker 1: she's even worse. Everything's about her. Yeah, like I and
Speaker 1: I do not think that someone who purposely got pregnant
Speaker 1: with sex tublets and then got them on TV and
Speaker 1: then uh basically had a series of reality shows because
Speaker 1: she had She had a bunch of specials on TLC,
Speaker 1: then John and Kate plus eight, then Kate plus eight.
Speaker 1: She had a series of reality TV shows to be honest,
Speaker 1: that focused solely on those children. And Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: don't think she's a good person. I really don't. And
Speaker 1: I think she's a really hard person to be to
Speaker 1: have as your mother. I honestly think that Emmy from
Speaker 1: Southern Hospitality is gonna be in the same vein with
Speaker 1: her children as a Kate plus eight. I definitely John
Speaker 1: is a piece of shit. Guys, He's a literal piece
Speaker 1: of shit. He's a deadbeat father. I don't the way
Speaker 1: he talks is if it is as if he has
Speaker 1: done a tenth of the reporting of those children. He's like,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't have to picture they have everything
Speaker 1: in my house that they had. John moved to a
Speaker 1: I believe a one bedroom apartment in Manhattan after his divorce.
Speaker 1: The children had to sleep on sleeping bags. I think
Speaker 1: Kate had to provide the sleeping bags. He did not
Speaker 1: show up for visits, He did not show up for
Speaker 1: phone calls. He was too busy running around Lindsay lohand daddy, okay,
Speaker 1: is he still alive? And that Kate major girl. He
Speaker 1: was too busy doing all that, And then, at least
Speaker 1: once a year, usually multiple times a year, he is
Speaker 1: selling stories about his children. He is selling stories that
Speaker 1: he's being prevented from seeing his children. He is selling
Speaker 1: stories that Kate has made his children not like him.
Speaker 1: I think, listen, I don't know how much those kids
Speaker 1: like Kate, but I honest to god fucking think that
Speaker 1: they don't like you because you're an asshole. That's why.
Speaker 1: The only reason I let Kate be even a smidge
Speaker 1: above John, because I think they're they're they're like, I
Speaker 1: think they're pretty similar in their in their terribleness, is
Speaker 1: because she actually like cared for the kids. That's it.
Speaker 1: I Me and Less talked about this, Me and Liss
Speaker 1: talk about calling specifically and about the Kate plus eight.
Speaker 1: The John and Kate plus eight people pretty a lot.
Speaker 1: And I oh, Kate was also fucking a married man.
Speaker 1: Uh he was her Australian security, like totally married, totally
Speaker 1: having a literal relationship with that man. The what was
Speaker 1: I gonna say? I forgotten? Oh, we did an episode
Speaker 1: in which I laid out John Goslin could have won
Speaker 1: this divorce. People didn't like Kate. She she's had a
Speaker 1: bad reputation forever, and a lot of people would look
Speaker 1: at John and be like, oh, poor John, poor drump,
Speaker 1: poor drum, Like, yeah, he's exploiting his shelter just as much.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, but he could have left that
Speaker 1: relationship and won the whole court of public opinion if
Speaker 1: he had not run off to do coke with Lindsay
Speaker 1: Lohan's daddy. Okay, he this is what I would have done.
Speaker 1: I would have gotten because remember they had that big
Speaker 1: ass fucking house, that huge fucking house. He like, I
Speaker 1: would have gotten a regular sized house, because it's not
Speaker 1: that house is not far from like I always thought
Speaker 1: it was like in the country. It's not really in
Speaker 1: the country. It's it's it's deceiving the way you drive
Speaker 1: up to the house and all that. They they there
Speaker 1: was a school within driving distance of their house that
Speaker 1: the kids would be dropped off and picked up from
Speaker 1: every day. I would have moved to a neighborhood that
Speaker 1: still went to that school, right, and I would have
Speaker 1: I've bought because they had the money at the time.
Speaker 1: I would have bought a medium sized house, not a
Speaker 1: big house. Okay, he had eight children. Uh. I would
Speaker 1: have bought a house that had four or five bedrooms.
Speaker 1: That's not a medium that's a pretty big house. But
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been as gardanti as in his other house.
Speaker 1: I would have bought a house at four or five bedrooms.
Speaker 1: I would have had one bedroom. I would have put
Speaker 1: Maddie and Kara in their own bedrooms. Maybe if it
Speaker 1: was like four, I would have put them in the
Speaker 1: same bedroom. I would have put the three boys in
Speaker 1: one bedroom and the three girls in one bedroom. And
Speaker 1: this is not ideal. This is a lot of kids
Speaker 1: in one bedrooms, right, but it's what I could afford.
Speaker 1: I would have got one of those uh, triple bunk
Speaker 1: bets or one of those double bunk bets that have
Speaker 1: the that has the sleeper that pulls out of it.
Speaker 1: I would have done those things, right. I would have
Speaker 1: I don't have no job, I'm not on the reality
Speaker 1: show anymore. I would have become mister fucking mom. I'd
Speaker 1: be a that school every day. I'd be on the pta,
Speaker 1: I'd be at those soccer games, clapping on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: I would every time Kate had to go out of
Speaker 1: town to quote unquote work. Right, so she's going, she's
Speaker 1: going to do a talk here, a religious because they're
Speaker 1: very religious there. I don't know how religious they are now,
Speaker 1: but that was their whole stick. In earlier episodes, we
Speaker 1: definitely saw them going to church. But I would have
Speaker 1: I would have joined the church, right, I would have
Speaker 1: joined the church. I would attend every Sunday, every time
Speaker 1: Kate goes out of town to do her religious talks
Speaker 1: or her or her you know, she's gotta go to
Speaker 1: Australia to do this and appear at this and then
Speaker 1: a pair at the cockatoo hair convince you whatever the
Speaker 1: fuck she was doing. I because in a divorce you could,
Speaker 1: in a custy thing, you can set up first write
Speaker 1: of refusal, meaning that if you cannot care for the kids,
Speaker 1: you have to ask me if I can care for
Speaker 1: the kids. And so I would do that, and every
Speaker 1: time she had to go and be like, yeah, bring
Speaker 1: them over here, Yeah, bring them over here, I would
Speaker 1: be the most present father. I could be the present
Speaker 1: father in the world. Because I could be I don't
Speaker 1: have to work, I don't have to leave this house.
Speaker 1: I can still still stories. If that's what I want
Speaker 1: to do, I can still I can still do. Like
Speaker 1: Kate ended up winning primary legal, like she could make
Speaker 1: the legal decisions for the children, which is how they
Speaker 1: got to still be on TV. But because I'm so
Speaker 1: present and because I'm doing all the things, I would
Speaker 1: have gotten joint legal, and then I would have to
Speaker 1: pull them off that fucking show. Not first of all,
Speaker 1: they should have been on the show and I should
Speaker 1: have been watching it. To be completely honest, the reason
Speaker 1: they had that show is for us, put because of
Speaker 1: people like me. I found the I found that, like
Speaker 1: I found this incredibly interesting. It's it wasn't the although
Speaker 1: eventually I did feel like, you know, I watched them
Speaker 1: grow up. I did feel like can to those kids.
Speaker 1: But what it was was that I was just really
Speaker 1: interested in how do you feed eight children? And how
Speaker 1: do you what's the split on how you house eight children?
Speaker 1: What do you do about that? Like, I was really
Speaker 1: interested in the mechanics of it, and I ended up
Speaker 1: staying because I really started to like follow in love
Speaker 1: those kids. But I should not have had access to
Speaker 1: those children. Of course, it's the early aughts. It was
Speaker 1: a while while West people didn't fucking know shit like that.
Speaker 1: But looking back, I should not have. I shouldn't. And
Speaker 1: I also give Kate and John a little bit of
Speaker 1: grace on that they didn't fucking know. They had no idea,
Speaker 1: but they were money hungry. There are plenty of like
Speaker 1: if they had done a couple of specials and even
Speaker 1: done their own reality TV show and it just and
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, we just thought it was the
Speaker 1: best thing. They were pimping them kids out everywhere. They
Speaker 1: were going here and going there. They honest to god,
Speaker 1: were super money hungry. And if you never had money,
Speaker 1: I could see why you can be super money hungry.
Speaker 1: But bro, they were doing a lot. I can give
Speaker 1: them a little bit of grace on that. I cannot
Speaker 1: give them. I can't I in the fact that happened
Speaker 1: in early aughts. But they still are very bad people.
Speaker 1: I think even as people let them know that, hey,
Speaker 1: this is probably bad for the kids. The fact that
Speaker 1: you're filming most of the year, it's probably not great
Speaker 1: for the kids. They still they kept going, what was
Speaker 1: I about to say? Yeah, I would have done, But
Speaker 1: not only would I pull them on the show. Would
Speaker 1: have pulled them on the show too, Spike Kate, not
Speaker 1: just for because I wouldn't have known, right, I'm John,
Speaker 1: I'm a piece of shit. But I would have won
Speaker 1: the court of opinion. There have been so many paparazzi
Speaker 1: shots of me at the school, me having a daddy
Speaker 1: daughter date with Hannah. Mean, there have been so many
Speaker 1: paparazzi shots of that shit. And Meanwhile, because because the
Speaker 1: tabloids hate the public hated Kate, meanwhile to be like Kate,
Speaker 1: it's another bad haircut. They like that. John and John
Speaker 1: and the Boys cut down a Christmas tree. John has
Speaker 1: decided to spend a quiet Christmas at home because he
Speaker 1: just really feels like the children needed if he does
Speaker 1: have to bring the kids to Kate's house of the
Speaker 1: second half of the day, and that devastates him, like
Speaker 1: this is how the taboys read, this is what I
Speaker 1: tell them to put in there. But John plans to
Speaker 1: drop his kids off at Kate's house and go home
Speaker 1: and just spend the rest of the day watching Christmas
Speaker 1: movies and enjoying the quiet and waiting for his kids
Speaker 1: to come back. That's type of shit I would be
Speaker 1: putting out there. But you know what, he didn't want
Speaker 1: to do that. He really was fucking that girl. He
Speaker 1: really was getting hurry in on the property on a
Speaker 1: four wheeler. He really. I think it was the daughter
Speaker 1: of their dentist or their plastics search somebody. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a piece of shit. Guyshot are both bad people.
Speaker 1: But what happened is that Colin put Colin was put
Speaker 1: in this mental health facility. He wanted to leave. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he was getting One of his roommates was leaving, and
Speaker 1: he put a note through him to like get to
Speaker 1: his DAP because he wasn't allowed to speak to He
Speaker 1: was't allowed to make any phone calls. And John found out.
Speaker 1: He positioned to get custody of Colin. I don't even
Speaker 1: think Kate showed up to that. Kate, what the fuck
Speaker 1: you doing? There's another reason. She's like, look, Kate, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you show up to a custody hearing about your children?
Speaker 1: So he goes, he goes, and he goes to live
Speaker 1: with John. Hannah is already living with John at knew
Speaker 1: at that point, I think Hannah just wanted to live
Speaker 1: with John and they were having a lot of things
Speaker 1: with custody back and forth, where Hannah be like, no,
Speaker 1: we're not going, You're not good, You're not going. I
Speaker 1: don't know. They have never disclosed why she didn't want
Speaker 1: to go. Maybe Kate was beating her ass because she
Speaker 1: definitely used to beat them fucking kids. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: but Hannah's living with her. Maybe he got Colin then Hannah.
Speaker 1: I think that's what happened at Colin and Hannah. How
Speaker 1: did things go fine? Except for John told us that
Speaker 1: whatever meant that Colin was on, John took him off
Speaker 1: of them. John told us that nothing was wrong with Colin.
Speaker 1: He was fine. The Kate to just put him in
Speaker 1: there because she's bad. I don't know. I do know
Speaker 1: that a couple of months later, Colin was whooping his
Speaker 1: ass in the garage and the two of them were
Speaker 1: fist fighting and the police had to be called. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure about that, but that's that's Colin's story. He's
Speaker 1: actually come out and he's talked about the dark side.
Speaker 1: I think it was the Dark Side episode of John
Speaker 1: and Katelys eight, same with Hannah. That episode got a
Speaker 1: lot of people talking about this, and I was just like, bro,
Speaker 1: none of this shit in here is new. Like if
Speaker 1: you were paying the whole attention John and Kate Lesse,
Speaker 1: you knew all of this shit. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what prompted Kate to put him in that mental health facility.
Speaker 1: I've always guessed that something happened at home or at
Speaker 1: school that embarrassed Kate, that made it so spotlight was
Speaker 1: on Kate. It could be a number of things. I
Speaker 1: don't want to speculate on what the things could be.
Speaker 1: Kate has always said that she had to protect her
Speaker 1: other children. I just don't want those things to have happened,
Speaker 1: so I don't want to speculate on that. I just
Speaker 1: feel like that's not fair to Colin. And I also
Speaker 1: feel like I really hope nothing bad happened. That said.
Speaker 1: Those kids had no contact with Colin even when they could,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what that's about. They all have
Speaker 1: their own phones, because Hannah would have contact with them
Speaker 1: every now and then, they all had their own phones.
Speaker 1: They all had the ability to be in content with Colin,
Speaker 1: and they were not. I don't I don't know, and
Speaker 1: I also don't think i'll ever know because that's the
Speaker 1: next part. Colin's writing a book. The book's coming out
Speaker 1: in October. Of course, I'm gonna read this book. I
Speaker 1: used to say, Colin write a book, I will pre
Speaker 1: order it right now. I know it doesn't exist to
Speaker 1: take my money. I'll pre order the Bitch because I want.
Speaker 1: And it's not that I feel like I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: the whole whole story, but I do feel like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get more story. I honestly think, well, here's what
Speaker 1: I think is gonna happen when I read this book.
Speaker 1: I think Colin is going to say that he talked
Speaker 1: back to Kate or he wasn't doing what she wanted
Speaker 1: him to do, and that's why he put her in
Speaker 1: that mental health That's why they put him in that
Speaker 1: mental health facility. Which is a possibility. I want Maddie
Speaker 1: to write a book. That's who I want to write
Speaker 1: a book, and I don't think and again that's gonna
Speaker 1: have to be be taken with a plant with a
Speaker 1: grain of salt. But I think I would be interested
Speaker 1: to know her perspective, and I think she would probably
Speaker 1: say more about details of what happened at home, then
Speaker 1: Colin is going to that said, I'm gonna be reading
Speaker 1: it first day. I'll have it first day reading it. Definitely,
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it on a podcast, definitely, definitely, and listen.
Speaker 1: Do I think Colin deserved to be in that mental
Speaker 1: health facility? Probably not. I don't like I can't imagine,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have watching go kids. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine sending my kid to something like that unless they
Speaker 1: were a danger to themselves or other children. But I'm
Speaker 1: also not Kate, and I also don't need blind obedience
Speaker 1: and being embarrassed by the people at the school, or
Speaker 1: being embarrassed or being someone being like unable me being
Speaker 1: unable to force someone to do something is not the
Speaker 1: same as someone's having a mental health crisis. That's not
Speaker 1: the same. But if something were gonna happen, Like there's
Speaker 1: a woman I don't follow her, but I see her
Speaker 1: on TikTok all the time, who had a child. His
Speaker 1: name is General. It's like a family name who which
Speaker 1: maybe she shouldn't be saying his name because not a
Speaker 1: lot of people are named fucking General, but his name
Speaker 1: is General. He sexually assaulted her daughter and they put
Speaker 1: him in a group home. They had they they he
Speaker 1: couldn't be there anymore. He didn't get any like even
Speaker 1: though they went to the police. He was like, by
Speaker 1: the way, I think he was like fourteen when he
Speaker 1: did that, so he didn't get any like sending scene
Speaker 1: or anything like that. He had to go to a
Speaker 1: group home. To this day, she doesn't say what he's doing,
Speaker 1: but like she they are still legally his parents. He
Speaker 1: just turned eighteen, and so he would be reoffending. He'd
Speaker 1: be in a group of home, he'd being foster he'd
Speaker 1: be reoffending, reoffending. He would send her letters where he
Speaker 1: said that he that he was doing better and he
Speaker 1: was this medication, that medication. They would find out, either
Speaker 1: his foster parents or the group home or the mental
Speaker 1: health institution he would be in would find out that
Speaker 1: he's been hiding the meds. He'd reoffend, reoffend, reoffend. He
Speaker 1: just turned eighteen and offended twice after she again she
Speaker 1: will not tell us what it is that he would
Speaker 1: the I'm assuming it's a sexual thing or or something
Speaker 1: of that nature. And she talks a lot about how
Speaker 1: she had to navigate that system, being legally his parent
Speaker 1: also wanting him to to receive appropriate consequences also him
Speaker 1: be him being unable to be to be rehabilitated by
Speaker 1: any system, And like she talks a lot about that,
Speaker 1: I think that's what Kate is gonna say happened. I
Speaker 1: don't know that that's what happen, but I'm saying, if
Speaker 1: I had a certain if I had the same situation
Speaker 1: where I had a child that was dangerous to the
Speaker 1: rest of my children that was no amount of therapy
Speaker 1: and no amount of medication could do anything to keep
Speaker 1: him from being dangerous, I can see why I would
Speaker 1: have them in a mental health facility that said, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine leaving them and they were coming back. I
Speaker 1: can't because she didn't visit, she didn't do any of
Speaker 1: those things. I'm wondering, what the fuck what does Kate
Speaker 1: think happen? Not that I think she's telling the truth,
Speaker 1: but what does she think happened? Because she came to
Speaker 1: Hannah and Collin's graduation and took pictures and talked to
Speaker 1: Hannah but not calling, So what does that mean? What
Speaker 1: does Kate think she's doing? Mhmm, what does Kate think
Speaker 1: she's doing? That's what I want to know. I know
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna agree whatever the fuck she says. I
Speaker 1: just want to know what she think happened. Well, in
Speaker 1: your mind, what happened. Yeah, I can't imagine placing any
Speaker 1: of my children in an impatient mental health facility, And
Speaker 1: even if something horrible happened, I can't imagine like then
Speaker 1: I go no contact with him. I'd probably be talking
Speaker 1: to their doctors every day, trying to visit them as
Speaker 1: much as possible, working from the fucking Wi fi for
Speaker 1: this isn't funny, but I'm saying, like, even if something
Speaker 1: is going on in which your child needs help, that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean then you don't you just done with him.
Speaker 1: Like in the case of General and his mom, I
Speaker 1: understand why she she does see him sometimes, but why
Speaker 1: she doesn't like And he's also in a different state
Speaker 1: every now and then he gets kicked out of where
Speaker 1: he is and they have to scramble to find a
Speaker 1: new place for him, and da da da dah. By
Speaker 1: the way, you can give up you can relinquish your
Speaker 1: parental rights to the state. But I think I could
Speaker 1: be wrong that you have to take a child neglect
Speaker 1: charge to do that, Like you will be charged with
Speaker 1: a child neglect if you were to tell the state,
Speaker 1: I can not care for this child. I do not
Speaker 1: want this shot in my home. Blah blah blah. I
Speaker 1: do think you'd have to take that charge. And I
Speaker 1: think that that could affect the your other children, because
Speaker 1: now you have a child to let charge on you,
Speaker 1: and I think that opens cases on with your other children.
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure, but I've been led to believe
Speaker 1: that's how it works. But like, yeah, she's always scrambling
Speaker 1: to find the next place that will take them because
Speaker 1: of all the things he has done. Yeah, that seems hard.
Speaker 1: That seems really hard there. But for the grace of God,
Speaker 1: go I right. I hope I'm never in a position
Speaker 1: like that. But yeah, I'm excited about this book. I'm
Speaker 1: definitely gonna talk about it. I will oh day one,
Speaker 1: at midnight, I will be dalverring the audiobook. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be your super good book, and I
Speaker 1: don't think that I personally, maybe a lot of y'all will,
Speaker 1: but I don't think I personally would get any new information.
Speaker 1: But that's the most and that's what I really want
Speaker 1: to fucking I want to know about that w how
Speaker 1: you I want to know your perspective of how that
Speaker 1: shit happened, right. I know he's gonna have a scene
Speaker 1: where he's like got his hand on the glass at
Speaker 1: the mental health facility and Kate just looks at him
Speaker 1: and turns her back, which I probably made have happened.
Speaker 1: But I also want a book from Mattie. I always
Speaker 1: want a book from John. He was like trying to
Speaker 1: do an album about it. I'm like, John, get a
Speaker 1: fucking ghostwriter and write the fucking book. Please tell me
Speaker 1: all the bad things you know about Kate. Please tell
Speaker 1: me all the bad things you know about Kate. Please.
Speaker 1: And I'd love to have one from Kate to a
Speaker 1: real one. She used to have a ton of books,
Speaker 1: a real one where she talks about where she tells
Speaker 1: me all the bad things about John. I'd love to
Speaker 1: hear it. I think you guys are probably pretty bad together.
Speaker 1: And I want Maddie to write a book cause I
Speaker 1: think that she would probably be willing to say things
Speaker 1: that a lot of people wouldn't really wanna be saying,
Speaker 1: wouldn't wanna say all those all those step tublics are
Speaker 1: over eighteen at this point, all of them. Oh, Colin
Speaker 1: tried to go in the military, and he said that
Speaker 1: he couldn't go in the military because of something that
Speaker 1: Kate had done to him. I s I, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: there's some sort of medication, there's some sort of uh
Speaker 1: that he was on that that uh per precluded him
Speaker 1: being able to join the military. This is at that's
Speaker 1: at the time he was trying to join the military,
Speaker 1: we were not at war, and so they get a
Speaker 1: little picky when you're not at war. Yeah, uh, I
Speaker 1: do remember someone I used to work with who was
Speaker 1: kind of a bitch. I'm reeffully honest. She was kind
Speaker 1: of a bitch. She was always upset and he she
Speaker 1: she had a son that obviously had ADHD. He was
Speaker 1: grown at that point. He obviously had ADHD. He was
Speaker 1: and not just you know a lot of people have
Speaker 1: ADHD and they don't even show the typical symptoms of
Speaker 1: just he had those typical symptoms like he was. He
Speaker 1: was getting kicked out of every class, he you know,
Speaker 1: all that shit. And she told me that she would
Speaker 1: she refused to have him diagnosed, and she refused to
Speaker 1: give him ADHD meds whatever. She refused to do anything.
Speaker 1: Because then he wouldn't be able to join the military.
Speaker 1: And I was like, so when he was like ten,
Speaker 1: you were like, nah, You're like, no, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get you in accommodations at school. Diagnosis so you can
Speaker 1: get accommodations to school. I'm not gonna try to make
Speaker 1: your life a little less like hard, because people won't
Speaker 1: be running around telling you to sit down all the time,
Speaker 1: telling you what you can't do all the time, telling
Speaker 1: you how just how your brain works is wrong all
Speaker 1: the time, like all that shit. Kids with ADHD get corrected,
Speaker 1: and then I don't remember the exact number, but it's
Speaker 1: in a huge it's like three times. It's something in
Speaker 1: that area, three times as much throughout their life as
Speaker 1: kids with neurotypical brains. And so, imagine a life where
Speaker 1: you are constantly being told you're in the wrong, You're
Speaker 1: constantly told that whatever you're doing is bad, you're constantly
Speaker 1: told you're annoying, You're constantly told that stuff. You start
Speaker 1: to believe that. And she decided she wouldn't do that
Speaker 1: because you can't get in the military if you take
Speaker 1: ADHD events, which I don't think is necessarily true. Maybe
Speaker 1: it is, Maybe it isn't. I just feel like I
Speaker 1: know a lot of motherfuckers in the military of the ADHD,
Speaker 1: and so I don't fucking know, but maybe they diagnosed
Speaker 1: after But yeah, like he did go in the military
Speaker 1: and he got discharged and for I think mental health things.
Speaker 1: He was a little bit off and she was constantly
Speaker 1: having to They lived together there, and she was like, poor, shit,
Speaker 1: how is she to be so poor? We were making
Speaker 1: the same amount of money and I had five kids
Speaker 1: at the time, and she how was I poor? Then?
Speaker 1: How would I had more money than she did? She
Speaker 1: would She'd be like, I have to like can green
Speaker 1: beans so I'll have something to eat in the winter.
Speaker 1: It was like, what, she's just a little ass you
Speaker 1: and you're son who gets a fucking check for the
Speaker 1: military because it got this, I don't really discharged for
Speaker 1: mental health stuff. Like I don't know. I when I
Speaker 1: see people getting diagnosed with mental health stuff, ADHD is
Speaker 1: part of mentalth stuff, uh, that sort of things in
Speaker 1: their twenties and finding out that the whole time their
Speaker 1: parents could have just like or either new or could
Speaker 1: have just like started helping them as teens as opposed
Speaker 1: to them trying to like figure it all out as
Speaker 1: twenty five year olds. I feel bad because here you are,
Speaker 1: your entire life is now from a different perspective, and
Speaker 1: a lot of things you start to make sense or
Speaker 1: or start to not make sense. But anyway, I don't
Speaker 1: know why she was supposed so poor. She must have
Speaker 1: had some bills that I didn't like, some big shit
Speaker 1: that I didn't fucking know about. But yeah, that I
Speaker 1: remember her telling me in a story. I'm just looking
Speaker 1: at her. You know what else? I was once at
Speaker 1: a job and it was a white woman. She was
Speaker 1: very cute. Uh, she was like blonde and very cute.
Speaker 1: She used to be fat, and she liked to show
Speaker 1: us the picture of it all the time. But she
Speaker 1: was sitting there. We don't even know in each other.
Speaker 1: Couple of days, we're sitting there talking. She was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I went to my parment complex. She was married. Me
Speaker 1: and my husband driving to Parmar complex and the neighbor's
Speaker 1: windows were open so I could see inside, and they
Speaker 1: had an altar tool. Samma bin laden in there, And
Speaker 1: I was like, what she's like. Yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: man with a with a turban and a beard, and
Speaker 1: he was on a table and they had candles, and
Speaker 1: I was like what and then she goes, so I
Speaker 1: called the police and I was like what. I was like, this,
Speaker 1: what you called the police? How do you know? So
Speaker 1: some have been laden? And what does that mean? What
Speaker 1: does that mean? I don't know. I just was like,
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like there's like parts left
Speaker 1: out of here, and I just feel like I just
Speaker 1: feel like, where are we to, like, you know, back
Speaker 1: it up? I just don't know. But whatever, she called
Speaker 1: the police on them. She said that they probably got
Speaker 1: she hadn't seen them since they probably got deported. I
Speaker 1: don't We didn't have any conversations out of that. I
Speaker 1: just felt like the whole thing was girl and then
Speaker 1: and then not only did you do that, you told
Speaker 1: me about it? All happy Anyway, Collins book coming out.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited. I don't think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: very good book, but I'm still but I'll be reading
Speaker 1: it all right. What else I want to talk about
Speaker 1: on this wrap up? There is a girl on TikTok
Speaker 1: who's videos like keep being inserted, and she is talking
Speaker 1: about how lonely it is to live alone and be single. Specifically,
Speaker 1: she is saying that when you are coupled up, you
Speaker 1: have you automatically have a person you can look to
Speaker 1: for social interaction, even if it's just like good morning,
Speaker 1: or handback from work, let me tell about what happened
Speaker 1: to work, or this show is on on like a
Speaker 1: person that you automatically can talk to for social interaction.
Speaker 1: That if you want to do something last minute, like
Speaker 1: go to the farmer's market or go to brunch or
Speaker 1: go out to eat or just anything that you automatically
Speaker 1: have someone that you can look to to do that,
Speaker 1: and in a lot of cases probably could do it
Speaker 1: with that. If you are sick or or like you
Speaker 1: need help, you automatically have a person you can speak
Speaker 1: to that you can ask for help. And she's been
Speaker 1: doing so many videos because people are I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're purposely or or just committed to misunderstanding. She
Speaker 1: is not saying like people are like you got to
Speaker 1: live your life. She's talking about the aloneness of living
Speaker 1: alone and living a life alone. And she's not saying
Speaker 1: it's the worst thing on her if. She's just explained
Speaker 1: that a lot of people don't think about that, that
Speaker 1: you automatically have someone to spend holidays with. Now you
Speaker 1: may spend the home all these with your friends, but
Speaker 1: you automatically have a person that you're expected to spend
Speaker 1: holidays with. Then you automatically have a person that on
Speaker 1: your birthday you should take you out right. And people
Speaker 1: are like, you know, you got to live your life
Speaker 1: and you can't be waiting for for people to come.
Speaker 1: Cause she's talking. She's also talking about closed systems in
Speaker 1: which at the older you get, the older, the more
Speaker 1: people have close friendship, the social circles, and that like
Speaker 1: they don't share their day with you because they already
Speaker 1: have a person to share their day with. They don't
Speaker 1: think to do stuff, to invite you to stuff because
Speaker 1: they already have a closed system. They have their partner,
Speaker 1: they have their friends, and so people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: you could call them. She does call them, but she's
Speaker 1: saying that like they don't think to call her at
Speaker 1: all because they have closed systems. That's how she started
Speaker 1: talking about it, and people are like, oh, you gotta
Speaker 1: live your life. You gotta do things on your own.
Speaker 1: You have to you have to date yourself. And she's like,
Speaker 1: I hiked across America by myself. I just hiked sixteen
Speaker 1: miles yesterday by myself. I have traveled internationally by myself.
Speaker 1: I have lots of hobbies, I have places I can go.
Speaker 1: I am not saying that I don't have those things.
Speaker 1: I am saying that a lot of the people in
Speaker 1: my life have closed social systems and social circles. And
Speaker 1: also I don't have a partner, so I don't have
Speaker 1: a default social interaction, which is and I and like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand when people don't act like they don't
Speaker 1: understand what she's saying. I think, oh, another thing people
Speaker 1: are saying, you people women in relationships are the loneliest
Speaker 1: people on her Their partner doesn't talk to them, and
Speaker 1: theyah blah blah blah blah blah. And she her rightful
Speaker 1: response to that is like, that's not I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about those relationships. That's not a relationship I would be in.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying please give me a partner. I'm explaining
Speaker 1: that if you have a partner, normally under good circumstances,
Speaker 1: you have a default social person. And they just it's
Speaker 1: people are being willfully up too. So I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like people are acting like people are acting
Speaker 1: like they literally just don't know. Like what she's trying
Speaker 1: to say. I also think this is coming from many
Speaker 1: right now. It's it's embarrassing to have a male partner,
Speaker 1: it's every holiday. Then the next day all we get
Speaker 1: is lots of content about people who didn't get treated
Speaker 1: women who didn't get treated well. Uh. A woman I follow,
Speaker 1: I forget her name, coined the term labor digger for
Speaker 1: men who are in relationships to get labor from women,
Speaker 1: like a place to live, someone to do their laundry,
Speaker 1: someone to do their appointments, and how that is even
Speaker 1: more insidious than someone being a gold digger. But like,
Speaker 1: this is what we're talking about, and it's not that
Speaker 1: it's not that I think every person is in a
Speaker 1: type of relationship, but right now there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people being like, I'm so happy I'm single, And
Speaker 1: I think that's good, right, because there are great reasons
Speaker 1: for you to be seeing. Although I saw a video
Speaker 1: where this woman was like, she got divorced, her friend
Speaker 1: got divorced at the same time, and then she starts
Speaker 1: talking her friend found She keeps saying found new love
Speaker 1: and got remarried, and she's laying out the troubles her
Speaker 1: friend are having, and they are saying it's because they
Speaker 1: are they are uh, they're saying it's because, well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: She's saying all the troubles are because she has a
Speaker 1: new like man and that's the problem. And and like
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm going on a girls trip and she
Speaker 1: has to ask for for definition she found out that
Speaker 1: he's been smoking, blah blah blah, and like it just
Speaker 1: the words on the page, Like I understand what she's
Speaker 1: trying to say, that you don't like being like she
Speaker 1: really enjoys being divorced. And she talks about how much
Speaker 1: she enjoys being divorced and that she really feels like
Speaker 1: she's taken, like she's she's taken stock of her life again.
Speaker 1: And I love that for her. But the way she
Speaker 1: is talking about her friend as if her friend is
Speaker 1: a fucking dummy, and she's excited that her friend is
Speaker 1: experiencing these problems with her second marriage, And I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: why are you so happy? Why are you so smug
Speaker 1: about this? That's not your fucking friend, that was your friend.
Speaker 1: You'd be like, I hate that my friend's going through this.
Speaker 1: I did tell her not to marry that guy, but
Speaker 1: I hate that she's going through this. I hope that
Speaker 1: she gets to the other side, that either the relationship
Speaker 1: gets better or she leaves him, like that is what
Speaker 1: you say about a friend anyway, super smug, And I
Speaker 1: do find a lot of content from people that are like,
Speaker 1: I'm so happy I'm single to be a little bit smug,
Speaker 1: to be pointing out people like having real troubles and
Speaker 1: being like ha ha. But I also for a long
Speaker 1: time there was a lot of I mean decades, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of smug content from people who were
Speaker 1: coupled up, being like you're gonna die Alonge and all
Speaker 1: this other like all this cat lady type tropes and thing.
Speaker 1: It was real fucking gross how people talked about uncoupled
Speaker 1: people and and how people would just take anybody just
Speaker 1: so they didn't have to come to home to tell
Speaker 1: their to family celebration, to be like I'm single like that,
Speaker 1: Like there was a there were decades of that. I
Speaker 1: would say, I've only seen this smug single or smug
Speaker 1: divorced content probably in the last five years, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: four years, and I only see it online. It's still
Speaker 1: not Remember online is not in real place. Uh, this
Speaker 1: is not what's happening in my life like people. I
Speaker 1: don't see smug single people talking shit about I don't
Speaker 1: see that so like, even though that one video, I
Speaker 1: was like, that's your fucking friend. For the most part,
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people really happy that they're single,
Speaker 1: especially online. That woman that's talking about the loneliness or
Speaker 1: the loneness of being single and living alone is I
Speaker 1: think people don't want to hear it because either one,
Speaker 1: they are very pro don't be in a relationship. All
Speaker 1: relationships are terrible, which is nothing is always never None
Speaker 1: of those things are always are never true except for
Speaker 1: big Barefoot in the airport. But yeah, like she is
Speaker 1: talking about a real thing about social interactions, about how
Speaker 1: if she wants she has friends, she has family. If
Speaker 1: she wants to see her friends and family, she has
Speaker 1: to schedule that and usually a couple of weeks out.
Speaker 1: And the con under all of her videos, the comments
Speaker 1: are constantly, constantly like do you sound jealous of people
Speaker 1: in relationships? She's not saying she's jealous if she wants
Speaker 1: to be. It's so easy to get a man, it
Speaker 1: is so she's sterosexual. They it's so easy to get
Speaker 1: a man. You just get one. It's so fucking easy.
Speaker 1: If she wanted when she gets one, but she really
Speaker 1: wants a relationship that fits her standards, which is I think,
Speaker 1: and she wants to stay single until she gets one.
Speaker 1: And I think that's fine. But I just don't understand
Speaker 1: why people keep acting like she's not being very clear
Speaker 1: about what she's saying, and that you if you do
Speaker 1: not have Oh, she's also not She's also talking about
Speaker 1: that it can be more expensive to be a single
Speaker 1: person than being a couple. She's fucking right. Oh. I
Speaker 1: remember when we were first mar and we didn't have kids,
Speaker 1: people would ask me how we were. I was affording
Speaker 1: things because there are two incomes in this house and
Speaker 1: I only need one bedroom. If you live in a
Speaker 1: one bedroom apartment and you're single, you're paying twice as
Speaker 1: much as me, right, because there are two incomes here.
Speaker 1: There are two. It only it's the grocery bill or
Speaker 1: the it doesn't end up with groceries because when you
Speaker 1: live alone, so a lot of times it's easier, it's
Speaker 1: just as cost effective not to buy groceries, or buy
Speaker 1: a few groceries and eat out that it's just as
Speaker 1: cost effective. But the grocery bill for myself, for me
Speaker 1: by myself is not half of the grocery bill between
Speaker 1: me and my husband. It is like, I don't know
Speaker 1: a third less it's not exactly half. And then we
Speaker 1: have two incomes to go towards it. Do you see
Speaker 1: what I'm saying here? At the time, you only had
Speaker 1: one car. We just moved from New York, so we
Speaker 1: had two incomes to pay for one car. This is
Speaker 1: the type of things that happened when you're coupled up.
Speaker 1: This is before you have kids. The bathkets wonky after
Speaker 1: you have kids. But she's right about that. She's right
Speaker 1: about that. Inherently in being single, you there are certain
Speaker 1: things you just don't get. And she's not saying that
Speaker 1: she's so sick of like people are giving her dating advice.
Speaker 1: I'm like that. She never said she can't go on
Speaker 1: any days. She never said that. They're like, well, have
Speaker 1: you thought of taking up paid by a number? She
Speaker 1: didn't say she didn't have any hobbies. She has plenty
Speaker 1: of fucking hobbies. She didn't say she didn't travel. She's traveling.
Speaker 1: What she's saying, god damn it, is that there's an
Speaker 1: inherent a loneeness. And she's not really saying lonely, a loneeness,
Speaker 1: which is different than being lonely right, a loneness and
Speaker 1: being single and living by yourself. People are telling her
Speaker 1: to get roommates. She don't want no fucking roommates. She
Speaker 1: didn't say she wanted roommage. She's simply pointing out that
Speaker 1: when you live alone and you come home, there isn't
Speaker 1: someone there to automatically talk to. That Like she's talking
Speaker 1: about how she woke up on the weekend, Like she
Speaker 1: has to plan her weekends if she wants to see people.
Speaker 1: That's just how it is. She but she she didn't
Speaker 1: have any plans for Saturday, so she got up. She's like,
Speaker 1: maybe I go to a farmer's market. And she called
Speaker 1: her sister, and her sister's like, I'm actually already at
Speaker 1: the farmer's market with her boyfriend. She's not saying anything
Speaker 1: about her about her sisters, but she's like yeah, because
Speaker 1: she has a built in person to go places with.
Speaker 1: People were like, oh, maybe you should. What do they
Speaker 1: tell her you should get? You should? You know, it's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with going to the movies alone, going eating
Speaker 1: on going out eating alone. She's like, yeah, I fucking
Speaker 1: know that. She didn't say that. She didn't say she
Speaker 1: has a hard time going out to eating by herself.
Speaker 1: She didn't say she has a hard time going to
Speaker 1: the fucking farmer's market by herself. She didn't say any
Speaker 1: of that. What she said is that there's an inherent
Speaker 1: aloneness when you live alone and you don't and you're single,
Speaker 1: and that it can also she being someone's person. She's
Speaker 1: talking about proto relationships is also something that you really
Speaker 1: have to grow into because a lot of those people
Speaker 1: have their best friend from college or a best friend
Speaker 1: from high school or whatever, and they are locked in
Speaker 1: with them. They have become their default person. And so
Speaker 1: while she has friends, she has friend groups, she doesn't
Speaker 1: have a default person. That's what she's explaining. And again,
Speaker 1: the Internet is just the Internet just is like, let's
Speaker 1: misunderstand everything. I'm actually I actually have a comment on threads.
Speaker 1: It's like it might be like four thousand likes and
Speaker 1: a bunch of comments on it. It's because someone said, like,
Speaker 1: I'm not using my free will enough. Tell me most
Speaker 1: your most wacky or unhinged things that you do just
Speaker 1: because you can. And I didn't think this was as wacky,
Speaker 1: but I just said generally, I eat dessert. Like if
Speaker 1: I go to a restaurant and I know I'm having dessert,
Speaker 1: I just ordered the dessert first, and then I eat
Speaker 1: the entree like cheescate reactor. IM was gonna eat the
Speaker 1: cheesecake there, So I'll have the cheese cake first. And
Speaker 1: the reason I do that is because entrees you can
Speaker 1: take home. You need half that entree and take it
Speaker 1: home and then eat it later or eat it the
Speaker 1: next day for lunch. But but desserts don't really Desserts
Speaker 1: don't really travel well. You know. Desserts are more likely
Speaker 1: to be or more likely to cak to like they melt.
Speaker 1: They just don't travel as well. So I'll have my
Speaker 1: dessert in the in the the way it was meant
Speaker 1: to be eaten, and then I'll eat half an entree.
Speaker 1: Do you know I think that was like revolutionary. I've
Speaker 1: done it a lot. I've done it with the other people
Speaker 1: I know, do it? Do you know there's so many
Speaker 1: people being like, this has changed my life? What do
Speaker 1: you mean? This never occurred to you? So many people
Speaker 1: are like, this is the best thing I've ever heard
Speaker 1: in my life. This is gonna change my life. My
Speaker 1: mind is blown. This is like, okay, okay, anyway, I
Speaker 1: just got another notification. That's why, and that's why I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about that. Let's talk about one more thing. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about, Beyonce doing family blogging. Beyonce still
Speaker 1: has given as an announced or put out a single
Speaker 1: for her third album. We don't think that she is
Speaker 1: going to this year because jay Z has society to
Speaker 1: it's gonna be jay Z's year. I think she's gonna
Speaker 1: wait till next year, which is really fucking annoying to me.
Speaker 1: We don't give a fuck about jay Z. I listen,
Speaker 1: jay Z is well revered in the in the UH,
Speaker 1: in the I was gonna say, the black community, in
Speaker 1: the hip hop community, he's he is, and he has
Speaker 1: his bona fides right, he has this he he absolutely
Speaker 1: has earned his space there. But I don't care about
Speaker 1: him that that's that man that you be running around with.
Speaker 1: I really don't care that much about him. And I've
Speaker 1: said in the past that I really think you know
Speaker 1: from that from the time period he was very active
Speaker 1: from the people who was running around with. I think
Speaker 1: this man has done two albums with R Kelly. I
Speaker 1: think eventually something's coming out about him that is undeniable.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna, Yeah, something's gonna gonna come out eventually.
Speaker 1: It all you know, what's in the dark comes to light,
Speaker 1: and if you were running around Dame dash m I
Speaker 1: I I just feel like it's coming. It's coming. You
Speaker 1: can't be the only honorable person in every room. It's
Speaker 1: just not possible. So anyway, whatever, like Fonce, why don't
Speaker 1: give a fucking FeAs, I won't give a fucking beeast
Speaker 1: going on to girl put out your fucking album. Anyway.
Speaker 1: You know she's got that hairline called Sacred and she
Speaker 1: did a video talking about the combing out of jay
Speaker 1: Z's locks. I remember I talked about this. Everyone thought
Speaker 1: he was wearing like a lace front furrow. I think
Speaker 1: he's been locked for seven eight years and he is
Speaker 1: the combing out of them and how they used sacred
Speaker 1: products to do this, and there is there's video Beyonce
Speaker 1: doing this and it took three days. First of all,
Speaker 1: am I supposed to believe that Beyonce, Giselle Knowles Carter
Speaker 1: sat in a beauty slack And I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a slot. I think that's in their fucking house, sat.
Speaker 1: I think they have a like a beauty room in
Speaker 1: the house, sat in that fucking chair, had jay you
Speaker 1: sit in that chair for three days and come out
Speaker 1: of his locks and that's what you were doing for
Speaker 1: three days. I alsos to believe that, Beyonce. I don't,
Speaker 1: but okay, okay, she and she said, this is the
Speaker 1: part I wanna get to, like in the pictures of
Speaker 1: him being combed out. One more thing I want to say.
Speaker 1: They're in the video. She says something like she calls
Speaker 1: him handsome or something, and people are like, Beyonce is
Speaker 1: like really in love with that man. She thinks he's handsome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she married him alone. She thinks she's fucking handsome. She
Speaker 1: sees his face and she sees she sees the love
Speaker 1: in that face. That not not the rest of it.
Speaker 1: He's like a fucking camel. And there years ago there
Speaker 1: was somebody had taken a screenshot of a music video
Speaker 1: that jay Z was in that he that the camera
Speaker 1: is looking up to him from his chin and upfront,
Speaker 1: and they said this is what Beyonce sees when she's
Speaker 1: given head. And it was not cute. It was not
Speaker 1: a cute. They made laughter, But yeah, she thinks he's handsome.
Speaker 1: And why don't y'all believe that? Yeah, babe, A lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of ugly people are thought of as
Speaker 1: handsome or pretty by the people that loved them. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I thought that was so fun. They were like, handsome
Speaker 1: people are like, well, you've you've gone too far, Beyonce,
Speaker 1: You've gone too fucking far, and you say all kinds
Speaker 1: of things, but handsome. But anyway, the reason they said
Speaker 1: that he started growing on his head and hair and
Speaker 1: ended up growing dreads is because you know, you should
Speaker 1: be saying locks, but I'm old and I will say dreads, dreads.
Speaker 1: The reason that he started doing that was because he is,
Speaker 1: was because he is. He wanted to show, you know,
Speaker 1: Blue Ivy. They first had that fucking baby. People used
Speaker 1: to talk so much fucking shit about that baby. She's
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen now, but they used to say she was
Speaker 1: ugly because she looked like Jay. They used to say
Speaker 1: she had nappy inWORD hair. They used to say all
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, especially about her hair, and like they
Speaker 1: really wanted them to, like, I don't know, get her
Speaker 1: a baby, wi, I don't fucking know, but baby's hair
Speaker 1: grows out and black baby's hair grow out in Afros,
Speaker 1: and people used to talk so much about her fucking hair,
Speaker 1: non fucking stop. Just it's mostly black people, internalized blackness,
Speaker 1: internalized racism, shit like that. And they really wanted that
Speaker 1: baby to come out super light skin and with straight hair.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they thought that was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Beyonce is light skin. Her family she does have like
Speaker 1: a Creole heritage, and Creole is a mix of races,
Speaker 1: and it's culture. It's a certain culture and everything. And
Speaker 1: when I tell you about these light skin people marrying
Speaker 1: light skin people so they can make sure to have
Speaker 1: light skin babies. When I talked to you about Giselle,
Speaker 1: I'll say, a bunch of Gazelle from Real House. I
Speaker 1: don't remember her last name, is it anymore? When I
Speaker 1: talked to you about how that's what she comes from
Speaker 1: and these and that's how her father was very instrumental
Speaker 1: in politics and things, because these are also the black
Speaker 1: people that would get the door open for them to
Speaker 1: participate in things like that. Their proximity to whiteness, that's
Speaker 1: what they're looking for, they're looking for, that's what they wanted.
Speaker 1: They wanted a light skinned baby with good hair, and
Speaker 1: what they got was Bluiaby who I mean, honestly, I
Speaker 1: think she looks a lot like her mother now, but
Speaker 1: who at the time people said has jay Z's face,
Speaker 1: and jay Z's ugly, and so people used to talk
Speaker 1: so much about her hair, and he said that he
Speaker 1: started growing his hair because to make her feel more
Speaker 1: comfortable with her hair. And I just wanted, like, the
Speaker 1: reason I want to talk about this is one Beyonce.
Speaker 1: Stop playing on the fucking internet. Let's start there. Let's
Speaker 1: stop playing on the fucking internet. Get in the booth.
Speaker 1: The album's done, get to work, Get to work. Okay.
Speaker 1: If I don't get a Vanity six type rock album
Speaker 1: from you, if I don't get a Tina Turner after
Speaker 1: she left IKE and had her biggest hits ever type
Speaker 1: album from you, I'm a whoopio ass. Okay, you don't
Speaker 1: tell us there's three parts and then do some shit
Speaker 1: like this put out the fucking album, Okay. But the
Speaker 1: fact that she's having like she's making videos like that,
Speaker 1: and of course she's promoting her brand, and but to
Speaker 1: have those family inputs in there, it's very interesting to me.
Speaker 1: It's very it's very interesting that she will never let
Speaker 1: y'all forget to y'all called Blue Iva that y'all used
Speaker 1: to bully that little baby on them. And then remember
Speaker 1: Blue LIVEE is just a smidge older than Northwest. And
Speaker 1: you know Northwest came out half white because that's what
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian is. Kim Kardashian is a white woman. Okay,
Speaker 1: ethnically she is not. Okay, culturally she might be, but
Speaker 1: she is a white woman. I know. Ethnically she has
Speaker 1: an ethnicity that makes you think she's not a She
Speaker 1: doesn't have a white race, but she is white anyway.
Speaker 1: She's a white woman. And Kanye West had a baby
Speaker 1: with her, and now we have North Northee who is
Speaker 1: half white. But when Northwest came out, she was light
Speaker 1: skinned with curly hair, and people were like, that's the baby.
Speaker 1: We thought, weyance it was gonna happen. We don't like it.
Speaker 1: And so you know, Blue Livey was compared with North
Speaker 1: over and over again. They still do that to be
Speaker 1: can't I be real? They still do that. They still
Speaker 1: pit two children against each other who I don't know,
Speaker 1: have you even met. They might have met, but I
Speaker 1: don't think they've ever met. I mean, I mean I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised that they had, but I just don't.
Speaker 1: I think I also feel like we would know what
Speaker 1: they had because they talk about them like they're Ronaldo
Speaker 1: and Messy. So uh. But like in the beginning, it
Speaker 1: was look how cute North is, North is beautiful, North
Speaker 1: is beautiful, blue eyed is ugly, and now because there's
Speaker 1: been so much controversy with the way North looks and
Speaker 1: the way she's allowed to be dressed and stuff, and
Speaker 1: I listen, I don't you guys know how I feel
Speaker 1: about Northwest. I feel like they are so certain that
Speaker 1: Northwest is the exception to all the world's the same
Speaker 1: thing they did with Kylie, that they are not treating
Speaker 1: her like a child, Like it's fine for the rest
Speaker 1: of us to be like to pretend like she's in charge.
Speaker 1: She's in charge of the family and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: That's fine. We don't know her, but the people in
Speaker 1: her life should not be acting like she's got a
Speaker 1: twenty five year old mind when she doesn't. That said,
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of what she's wearing is
Speaker 1: like wild. I just don't. I think she's thirteen. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's especially for the types of she's famous,
Speaker 1: the types of things she goes to. I don't think
Speaker 1: that the type of events type. I don't think that
Speaker 1: it's out of contri I do think that they need
Speaker 1: to like she shouldn't be some of the people she
Speaker 1: has contact with, some of the people that she's h
Speaker 1: hung with. I'm like, I don't know, I will let
Speaker 1: her do that, But I do think people do too
Speaker 1: much when it comes to how she's dressed. And I
Speaker 1: think her, the people around her, her family do too
Speaker 1: much when they talk about when they talk about she's
Speaker 1: gonna have a clothing line. She's so smart and she's
Speaker 1: like she has like the mind of a of a
Speaker 1: twenty five year old. They did that shit with Kylie,
Speaker 1: and that's why that's why they justify her being sixteen
Speaker 1: seven dating a grown man. That's that's how they justify
Speaker 1: shit like that. And I hope it makes me worry
Speaker 1: for North in the future. Prayers up North. But now
Speaker 1: they compare the two of them in how they look
Speaker 1: there like, uh, you know, Blue Ivy is dressed appropriately,
Speaker 1: she looks like a child. I'm sure she gets to
Speaker 1: go on tour, but she but she can't be on
Speaker 1: the stage when they do the uh oh dance the firm.
Speaker 1: I think it's dangerously in love? Is it dangerously love? Yeah,
Speaker 1: she can't. They don't let her tork on stage. They
Speaker 1: they like, you know, Beyonce is wearing whatever, and the
Speaker 1: dancers are wearing whatever, but whatever Blue Ivey is wearing
Speaker 1: is more modest and cover up, which is true. But
Speaker 1: what the fuck does that have to do with North?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, it's so fucking mean.
Speaker 1: It's so fucking mean. And remember when Blue Ivy first
Speaker 1: came out doing stuff on her tour. On Beyonce's tour,
Speaker 1: people talk so much about her. They call her DEI Higher,
Speaker 1: they call her nepape. There is not a good dancer.
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't like the move she was doing.
Speaker 1: I don't think she could have been like in with
Speaker 1: those with those dance moves. But I think she did
Speaker 1: better on Cowboy Carter and I think that she she
Speaker 1: by the end of the tour of Renaissance, she got better.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's a really cool. Like Beyonce
Speaker 1: really wants to incorporate her in, like I think her
Speaker 1: family goes with her own tour, so she wants to
Speaker 1: incorporate her. But last thing, these are all the thoughts
Speaker 1: that I have been having since I saw that sacred video.
Speaker 1: Because in the sacred video, you're seeing I think you're
Speaker 1: seeing blue Ivey's hands. I think you're hearing her. I
Speaker 1: don't think we actually start her face. And remember when
Speaker 1: I was talking about Ariana Grande versus Ariana Grande incorporated. Right,
Speaker 1: those are two different entities, ones a person, the other
Speaker 1: ones a brand. Beyonce often incorporates her family into her brand.
Speaker 1: Right when boul Ivey goes on tour and dances, she
Speaker 1: is now a part of the brand. She is now
Speaker 1: a part of the show, and people are allowed to
Speaker 1: critique the show. By bringing her on that and then
Speaker 1: also by bringing her her sister Rumi as well, you
Speaker 1: now have opened them up to their people are allowed
Speaker 1: to critique how they act on the stage and how
Speaker 1: they present. And because her art includes how she feels
Speaker 1: about her children, how she feels about her how she
Speaker 1: feels about her husband cheating on her, how she feels
Speaker 1: about her parents, you have now brought them into the conversation.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you be an artist without bringing
Speaker 1: those type of things in the conversation. But if you're
Speaker 1: an artist that also sells art, because you can be
Speaker 1: an artist that doesn't sell art. You once you bring
Speaker 1: them into your brand, they are now part of the conversation.
Speaker 1: So like when Blue was a baby, they she was
Speaker 1: not a part of this conversation. They just people just
Speaker 1: want to be haters. But now when people have a
Speaker 1: lot to have comments about Blue dancing, about what Blue's wearing,
Speaker 1: about Blue showing up to the met Gala, I did
Speaker 1: not like Beyonce's thing at the met Gala. By the way,
Speaker 1: as soon as it's all parents are like, I don't
Speaker 1: like that. It's not the worst thing. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: We coulda done something different. Blue coming to the met Gala,
Speaker 1: I think sh is she the first child to be
Speaker 1: able to come to it? Blue coming direct carpets and
Speaker 1: being dressed uh, Although someone said she was dressed in
Speaker 1: appropriately because she had it like a strapless gown, But
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true either. I think again, I
Speaker 1: think you guys do too much. I think the people
Speaker 1: talking about it are the people that are quite conservative.
Speaker 1: They're the people that are like I was in this
Speaker 1: Facebook group for black one one time, and this one
Speaker 1: was talking about how uh Tampo like take your virginity away?
Speaker 1: And I was like, how old are you? Who told
Speaker 1: you that? Old are you? But that's the type of
Speaker 1: person I think is sometimes commenting on these things. She's
Speaker 1: wearing a red lip, she's too grown. I don't know,
Speaker 1: she's thirteen. A red lip to a to to the
Speaker 1: to the met Gala. I don't think I think that
Speaker 1: she's dressed appropriate for where she is. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you want to talk about whether she can go to
Speaker 1: met gala, that's a different conversation. But I don't think
Speaker 1: she's dressed inappropriately. And I don't and I honestly don't
Speaker 1: think a met Gala. I mean, I don't want the
Speaker 1: met Gala overwhelm your children. This is not I don't
Speaker 1: think that's what we should be doing here. But I
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think that the met gala, a dinner and
Speaker 1: a presentation and a red carpet walk are inappropriate for
Speaker 1: a teenager. I just don't like a famous teenager. So
Speaker 1: but what I did so because she is, because she
Speaker 1: is now a brand, the part of the brand, and
Speaker 1: now a product, she is allowed to be critiqu And
Speaker 1: I've been thinking more and more about what lies ahead
Speaker 1: for Blue Ivy. Beyonce's Beyonce's Brandon is full of lore,
Speaker 1: It's full of personal things, and how does that? How
Speaker 1: does that feel as a thirteen year old? I know
Speaker 1: they make the joke that Blue Ivy is the manager
Speaker 1: and she's walking around telling jay Z he's unemployed and
Speaker 1: he needs to needs to do something about it. That's
Speaker 1: the joke. That she put Roomy on a pip. That's
Speaker 1: the joke, and it is a funny joke. But in
Speaker 1: real life, I wonder what it's like to be that known,
Speaker 1: you know what she was that known before because she's
Speaker 1: Beyonce's daughter, and people just care and want to know
Speaker 1: about these sorts of things. I think when Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: starts having kids, people are going to be un insufferable.
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be real fucking weird about it,
Speaker 1: real weird guys. I don't look forward to that. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be I think there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot of people doing a lot of fucking inappropriate things
Speaker 1: in playing sight, and there's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: people supporting him on that. You know, like whoah, but
Speaker 1: you know, Blue, I feel saying as regardless, and that's
Speaker 1: the same thing North. He's gonna be famous regardless. But
Speaker 1: I wonder what it's like for Blue, cause she hasn't
Speaker 1: really been in the spotlight and now she's most definitely
Speaker 1: a part of the brand. She's most definitely a part
Speaker 1: of the product. I can't imagine Beyonce going on tour
Speaker 1: and Blue can't go at least be in one song.
Speaker 1: She was in so many songs on Cowboy, Carter I, Prisa, Blue, Prison,
Speaker 1: and then Beyonce. If you want to be a family vlogger,
Speaker 1: then be a family vulger. But after you produce your
Speaker 1: fucking album, Okay, go do s go do some productive
Speaker 1: And also one more thing, so we don't get to
Speaker 1: see Sir And people say that's because he's developmentally disabled.
Speaker 1: Maybe uh. And when people ask about that, my first, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think that she she has to
Speaker 1: put Sir on the stage. I don't think we have
Speaker 1: to see Sir in the videos, although we do see
Speaker 1: him in videos, usually when he was much younger. And
Speaker 1: if Roomy's old enough to be on the stage, why
Speaker 1: isn't Sir. A lot of things they're named after Sir.
Speaker 1: A lot of things are referencing Sir, why isn't he there?
Speaker 1: And I think it's probably true he has develop developmental disability.
Speaker 1: I think it's probably true that maybe, uh, he doesn't
Speaker 1: like crowds. I I think that's probably very true that
Speaker 1: being in crowds, and I mean j H Blue and
Speaker 1: jay Z going to a game is full of people
Speaker 1: taking pictures of them with flash and people screaming and
Speaker 1: things like that. I honestly, I there's a few of
Speaker 1: my kids I couldn't take to some place like that either.
Speaker 1: But while I do feel like she has a right
Speaker 1: to privacy in that she is, the fact that he
Speaker 1: is conspicuously absent without any reference to that is going
Speaker 1: to bring more and more and more speculation. And like
Speaker 1: you see paparazzi pictures of Beyonce, you don't even see
Speaker 1: Sir with Beyonce in those paparazzi shots, like when she's
Speaker 1: on like yeah, you don't really see him with her.
Speaker 1: So there's just a lot of speculation about it. And
Speaker 1: I don't think Beyonce has to tell us like I'm
Speaker 1: ready for when Beyonce, I might even have to wait
Speaker 1: another twenty years when I'm really ready for Beyonce's memoir.
Speaker 1: But and maybe we'll get an understanding there. Maybe by
Speaker 1: then there they would have made some sort of statement.
Speaker 1: But yeah, bro, he's not a part of We don't
Speaker 1: see him, so he's not a part of the brand,
Speaker 1: and so therefore we don't have to we don't he's
Speaker 1: not he. We are not allowed to talk to him
Speaker 1: about talk about him the way we get to talk
Speaker 1: about Roomy, who is doing all kinds of shit back
Speaker 1: there when they had him, she was behind so during
Speaker 1: the Cowboy Carter, she was like she she was like, maky,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Beyonce was singing, I forget the song,
Speaker 1: so the my house should take care of everybody the song,
Speaker 1: and Blue was sitting there and she was singing the blue,
Speaker 1: and then Roomy would show up and she was singing
Speaker 1: the Roomy. And but the thing that Beyonce was sitting
Speaker 1: on and the in the background singers and dances were
Speaker 1: singing on sitting on was big and a handler. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was Rnanny or who would would
Speaker 1: We would be behind it holding her hand, and then
Speaker 1: and then Roomy would go out around it to do whatever.
Speaker 1: But if you're at a certain first place, in the stage.
Speaker 1: You can see Roomy the whole time, and she would
Speaker 1: just be back there cutting the fuck up. Cut in
Speaker 1: the fuck up, bro. And you know, people are allowed
Speaker 1: to talk about that. I mean, are they allowed to
Speaker 1: talk about it in the grossest way possible? No, but
Speaker 1: people are allow that is becomes a part of the conversation.
Speaker 1: Sir has you know what, sir has become a part
Speaker 1: of the conversation too. But people mostly are like, mind
Speaker 1: your business. But I wonder when he will become I
Speaker 1: wonder when he'll become more of a topic. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all I gotta talk about today. Beyonce, get on
Speaker 1: your job, get on your zoom baby, get to work.
Speaker 1: I will see you guys on Monday. We be back
Speaker 1: to my fair Brady can tell them later and then
Speaker 1: h
