Hey guys, welcome back to the almost living podcast.
This is episode 9 and We have a lot to talk about.
Okay, so We're just gonna get straight into it
my neighbor or someone is Playing music and I
honestly can't even track where the noise is
coming from but I did a little test recording
I'm able to hear it, but I don't think you guys
will be able to hear it. So yeah, if you can,
I'm sorry. So do you guys remember a few weeks
ago when I posted an episode after a few month
long hiatus and I was talking about my new computer
and how exciting that was? and all of that jazz.
So that is no longer. Yeah, I was using my computer
at the library. I was editing a video, I was
having a blast and I needed to charge it and
I was at a very packed library so there were
no available Outlets so I was like, let me go
to another library So I throw my computer in
my bag and I had a bottle of water put that with
my bag and then I walk walk walk to the next
library and then I find a seat I Take my purse
off of my shoulder and then I'm like, hmm. What
is this giant wet spot? All over my purse and
then I open it and there's just water in there
with my computer take it out, you know, I like
I'm trying to wipe it off, but the damage had
already been done like My computer was swimming
in this water for at least five or ten minutes
And Yeah, it was just all behind the screen all
of that and then I googled what to do Everyone
said to turn it off because you don't want you
know, you just turn your computer off You can
prop it open you can let it sit for a couple
of days, let it dry out, and then you can try
to see from there. I did that for two days, turned
it on, and it is not even responding anymore.
It was giving me like an error message at the
library, but then like after the couple of days
of letting it sit, it just truly, it just stopped
responding. So yeah, I destroyed my computer
after not even three weeks of having it. I'm
not going to talk about it for too long because
I will start crying. But yeah, it's like just
terrible. And now I don't have a computer again.
So it was really fun for like the two and a half
weeks that I had it. And now I just like, yeah,
I'm I'm I'm done talking about it because I'm
getting pissed off. But I'm a fucking idiot and
I hate myself and Yeah, I guess if I want another
computer, I'm just gonna have to buy another
one. Because the year -long warranty does not
cover water, which is awesome. Okay, moving on
from that. So last, not this past Sunday, but
the Sunday before, I guess, was the Oscars. I
had never seen the Oscars before in my entire
life. I like movies, but I definitely wouldn't
say I'm a movie person, especially now that I
have friends that are actually in film. I'm really
not about it like that. Not for any particular
reason. I think I've talked about it before.
I genuinely just have crippling ADD to the point
where I cannot even sit and watch a movie. So
I think that's why I just don't watch a lot of
them. I think I probably watched... I don't know,
I watched a small handful of movies this past
year, last year. But anyways, my friends invited
me over to have an Oscar watch party and it was
my first time watching the Oscars. And I definitely
would have found it a lot more entertaining if
I actually watched like a lot of the movies that
were nominated. I only saw Sinners and Begonia
last year. Sinners was cool. I did enjoy it.
I definitely wouldn't say, I mean, it got nominated
for a lot of things. It won a few things. I don't
remember. I know that Michael B. Jordan won best
actor for his performance, but I thought it was
cool. I mean, I didn't think it was like a groundbreaking
movie, but I thought it was good. And I feel
like I'm in support because they're black and
that's cool. I really liked Begonia though. I
liked Begonia a lot. I also loved Weapons and
I don't know her first name, Madigan. The woman
who played... What the fuck is her name? The
woman who played Gladys in Weapons, she won Best
Supporting Actress, which I thought that was
cool. I really enjoyed Weapons. I thought it
was a great movie. Anyways, it was really interesting.
watching the Oscars and just like, yeah, it's
just a part of pop culture that I never tap into.
Yeah, celebrity culture is just interesting.
Like, I think that is kind of my biggest thing
with it and it kind of makes it hard to enjoy,
but I do just have to, like, kind of deal with
it, I guess. Like, it's just so... It's hard
to and I was having a lot of fun with like viewing
it with my friends because I mean We're all just
like we're just shitting on everyone's outfit
and just like talking shit, which is really fun
But yeah, it's just kind of crazy if you're not
having fun with it and you do kind of look at
it from Like just looking at it objectively.
It's like all these people are so rich and I
don't know, like that's just kind of the biggest
thing I feel like with any of these big things
that happen. The Oscars, the Grammys, the Met
Gala. It's just like a bunch of rich fucks being
rich and I can't take that. But yeah, it was
super fun. It was interesting to view. I wouldn't
say it was fun. The Oscars itself was very boring.
I mean. No, it wasn't boring. It was interesting.
Again, I think it would have been a lot more
interesting if I actually watched the movies
that they were talking about. But I think for
most of it, I was like, I don't know what is
going on here. And the humor is just like very,
it just wasn't funny. I think Conan did a good
job, but like it was just, it just wasn't funny.
And I'm definitely not the target audience, but.
Yeah, I don't know. I think it was interesting.
It's also just interesting seeing all these celebrities
popping out with new faces, and it's like, okay,
what happened? Like, Leonardo DiCaprio, I'm genuinely
so confused. Why is he attractive? all of a sudden.
Like, he was looking really, really bad. He's
been looking bad for a minute. Just very, like,
bloated and puffy. Um... And he just looked...
He was, like, slimmed down in the face and just
looking super fresh. I don't know what the fuck
he did, but it's just so bizarre, um, how these
people just have access to, like, unlock... different
faces like every few months. But yeah, Leo looked
good. I mean, everyone looked good. Zendaya looked
beautiful. Robert Pattinson looked great. Pedro
Pascal, I need him. Yeah, everyone looked beautiful.
It was cool. So finished watching the Oscars
and I had, so like recently, Or I guess in the
past week or two. I also have I missed a week.
Whoops. Sorry. Sorry. My life isn't fucking shambles
Okay, I destroyed my computer. Give me a fucking
break but I in the past couple weeks or like
week and a half I have gotten a good amount of
social interaction, which has been really great
I've been getting like been able to hang out
with my friends and I think recently too I just
I've been working a lot, I've been struggling,
so when I do get an invite, like, I really have
been trying to, like, even if I'm tired, even
if I, you know, have something I want, like,
I've just been trying to really make an effort
to be social, even if it's at the cost of, like,
my comfort. And I think the biggest thing is
just, like, me being tired, like... And there's
this quote, I don't know who... Came up with
it or who's the first person to say it but I
feel like it's been coined of just like community
or the price Inconvenience is the cost what okay
me when I'm bringing this shit up and I literally
The cost of community is inconvenience some shit
like that basically saying like if you want community
if you want friends if you want support whatever
like it's not always gonna be convenient for
you. And I've really been trying to, like, yeah,
really been trying to let that be true. And like,
yeah, this Oscar viewing party, I was tired.
I was hungover from the night before. And all
I wanted to do was lay in my bed. But I was like,
you know what, fuck it. Like, I... work so much
I never get to see people like I need to go hang
out even though I the last thing like even though
I literally just want to lay in my bed and close
my eyes like I need to go hang out with people
so went to that that viewing viewing party and
I had work the next morning okay so the Oscars
was 7 to like 10 30 I had work at 6 a .m. the
next day I would have to be up at 4 30 I was
like I know I'm going to be tired like that is
inevitable and Throughout the viewing, I was
like, I could leave early and you know, whatever,
but it's like either way I'm going to be tired.
And I was having so much fun. So I stayed until
the whole time. And then the Oscars ended and
everyone was like leaving. And so I called my
lift and it was, it said it was 10 minutes away.
Okay. So I'm waiting 10 minutes and then it says
that it's like, oh, your, your lift is a minute
away. I go outside, I grab my shit. Then the
minute I fucking walk outside my lift cancels
on me. And so I'm like, okay So then I'm like,
well fuck like that's annoying like I wish I
just I was so confused because I'm just like
why because the driver must have canceled on
me But it's like why would you drive ten minutes
and he was completing another stop? But it's
like why did you do that just to cancel a minute
before like whatever? So then I'm like, okay,
I'm gonna call another lift because like I My
friends all live in bushwick. I'm in I'm not
gonna say what neighborhood I live in even though
it literally doesn't matter I'm like i'm gonna
dox my friends and then keep my location secret,
but I live in brooklyn. I just live Not in bushwick,
but it is so fucking hard to get home Or to go
to bushwick to get home from bushwick because
Brooklyn is just fucking annoying and there's
no train that goes from Brooklyn to Brooklyn.
Like it's all buses or you have to loop into
Manhattan and then go back to Brooklyn. I did
not want to do that. I also did not want to toy
around with the buses. I was like, I'm just going
to get a Lyft or an Uber. And so then anyways,
my Lyft cancels on me. I'm like, let me call
another one. I'm trying to call one and it's
just doing that thing where it's like, oh, we'll
give you your details in five minutes or whatever,
but the time is ticking and nothing. I'm not
being matched with any driver, so I'm like, okay,
what the fuck is going on? It's to the point
where it's just like. The time that they told
me that they would have my driver info by has
passed. And so it just is continuing to load.
So I'm like, what the fuck? And I'm checking
Uber. It's the same thing. Like no one is, I'm
not getting connected with anyone, even though
there are cars around. I'm like, I don't know
what the fuck is happening. So then I'm like,
okay. Like if I genuinely just cannot get an
Uber or a Lyft, I guess I'm gonna have to take
the fucking bus. So I walk. I walk like 10 minutes
to this bus stop. I wait a few minutes for this
bus. I'm tracking it on the MTA app. The bus
arrives. And then the bus driver turns the bus
off and just sits in the bus. I'm now aware that
this means that the bus driver is going on their
break. I have never seen that happen. I didn't
know that that was a thing. I understand. Obviously,
I work in food service. I have a job. I know
I'm familiar with taking breaks, but I don't
understand. That is crazy to me because on the
MTA app, it's telling me this bus that you're
waiting for, it's coming in five minutes, coming
in four minutes, coming three minutes, whatever.
So, are you guys not aware that the bus driver
is taking a break? Like, how does that work?
Because I am waiting for this bus. I'm thinking
that the bus is going to be in operation. The
bus arrives, and then this bus driver has to
take a break. Okay, cool. Take your break. But
do you not have someone to replenish? Like, do
you not have someone to switch with you? Like,
how the fuck does that work? So I'm like, oh
my fucking god because at this point it's been
like 30 minutes Okay of me just trying to find
a way to make my way out of fucking Bushwick
I see a bus coming and it's the same bus it it
says it's like It's the same like it says the
same direction that I'm going it's coming from
the opposite side But then it like stops and
it doesn't stop at a bus stop and it doesn't
stop at a light It just kind of stops in the
middle of the street. So I cross across the street
Cause I'm like, I'm trying to get on this bus
and the driver sees me and I like I'm standing
like near the door and he literally He was stopped
and then he just Kept going like he saw me and
then he just started driving and I was like Okay
Okay, so like at this point I'm kind of freaking
out because I'm just like, okay, like it's Yeah,
it's the fact that I just can't Seem to find
a way to get out and it's like I'm fine with
taking a lift I'm fine with taking an uber like
I will pay the money. That's not the issue But
if I genuinely can't even be connected to a driver
then I'm confused on like where I'm supposed
to go from here I try to fucking take a bus and
like yeah, there are multiple buses like there's
not just one bus But it's like I'm not I don't
feel like walking to another bus stop waiting
again It's also fucking cold and I don't feel
like waiting again just for the bus to not show
up or for the bus driver to be taking a fucking
break or like whatever like It was just too much.
And then the only other option is Taking the
jay and I don't remember if it had me looping
into manhattan or if it had me Taking the jay
to a bus or what? I didn't even want to I was
not trying to do that shit No hate and I maybe
like could have had success with the train, but
the jay Doesn't it's it doesn't it's not like
the best. I also I think A few days before I
took the J and I was literally waiting at one
stop for like 20 minutes because something happened.
So I was just like, I don't feel like dealing
with that. Long story short, I ended up, I literally
at one point was calling a Lyft and an Uber at
the same time. And I was like, I'm just going
to see which one like fucking accepts at first.
Like I just need to like literally put a bunch
of like, I need a attempt. Like in multiple ways
on trying to get home Finally I get connected
with an uber driver and the uber driver is of
course like 12 minutes away so I pull out a joint
and I smoke it because I'm like this is this
is too much and Eventually the uber came they
picked me up. I went home Um, and then it was,
it was also a situation where, I mean, at that
point it was literally like 1130 and I was like,
okay, great. So I do have to be up in five hours
and I'm not even home yet. Um, and then my Uber
driver, I like got in and he was like, how are
you? And I was like, good. And then he was like
trying to ask me questions like about my day
and I. I did not want to be like, I'm sorry,
but I don't want to talk. So I gave him a really
short answer and then I put my headphones in
and I felt like an asshole. That is mean, but
I'm sorry. I don't want to have a conversation
in an Uber ever unless it's actually going to
be of substance. I do not want to talk. at all.
I think it's so fucking annoying. I'm sorry not
to be an anti -social Gen Z, but please don't
talk to me. I just want to sit in silence, and
especially right now. It's 1130. I have work
in fucking... No. Do not try to have a conversation
with me, please. So yeah, that was my weekend
last week. Fucking stuck in goddamn Bushwick.
It was so annoying. And it's yeah, it was just
like really it's like bitch. I don't understand
like It's Sunday fucking night Why it was it
was it just it was insane like there were just
no drivers available like at all and I was like
Sometimes I really am like am I in New York or
am I? Not fucking in New York because there needs
to be like there's no way that there's no driver
available Like what do you mean? and then the
buses and the trains, I just can't do it. I have
to move soon, and soon meaning in the next couple
of months. I have thought about Bushwick because
all the clubs are out there, a lot of my friends
are there. It's Brooklyn. I mean, I don't really
know what the prices are like over there. I'm
sure it's you can find a place, you know, like
there are places that are affordable. But I get
scared because it's just like I can't the buses
and the fucking whatever. So I don't know. I'm
just like stressed about that. Yeah, I'm stressed.
I'm stressed. OK, there's a lot of like. There's
a lot of pop culture stuff to talk about I also
this is like under my notes about the Oscars
I forgot to mention and I honestly don't even
really have much to say about it, but Timothy
didn't win anything Yeah, I mean I don't really
care about Timothy Chalamet they were also at
the Oscars they were making a lot of Jokes about
Timothy's like ballet comments Which I thought
was funny like they were giving him lashings
about that And then he didn't win anything. And
I was like, oh, okay. I also was just like, Kylie
Jenner, why are you here? Like, go home. You
don't need to be here. Okay. This past weekend,
I was at my friend's house and we watched an
episode of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. And
I don't know if y 'all know what the show is.
I had heard about it because I have coworkers
that are into it and they talk to me about it.
But I watched one episode, it was genuinely the
craziest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
It's these women, these Mormon women that are
on this reality TV show and they're talking about
themselves as if they're famous because there's,
I guess there's this thing called mom talk, mom
TikTok. Specifically, I guess, these Mormon moms.
And yeah, I guess it's just their side of TikTok
where, and they're showing clips throughout the
show. And I don't know if it's like, they're
just dancing. They're doing like TikTok shit.
But these women are like doing their introductions
and they're very much like. Yeah, you probably
know us from blah, blah, blah. And yeah, like
we're OG mom talk. And it's like, I am someone
who's, I'm pretty online. And I mean, granted,
I deleted TikTok and I haven't really been on
it for maybe like a month and some change. But
even when I was on TikTok, like I don't know
who you bitches are. You guys are not famous.
You guys are not well known. You guys are not
doing anything. Like you guys are. fully irrelevant
human beings, but it's just so crazy. They're
just void of any style, any character, any originality,
kind of just anything, but it's just so sad.
These women are young. They're all mid -early
20s to late 20s to some of them are in their
30s. One of the girls was literally like 25 and
like married with two kids and it's like, oh
my god I just can't fathom that like I cannot
fathom that and I'm sure if you've been online
you have heard about Taylor One of the women
who was supposed to be or I guess she was the
bachelorette I used to watch the bachelorette
the bachelorette the bachelorette with my mom
It's a wonderful trashy, well, it's not trashy,
but it's just a stupid reality television show.
Usually with The Bachelor, The Bachelorette,
it'll be someone who's been on the show. For
The Bachelor, it'll be a guy who was on The Bachelorette
and he was one of The Bachelors, if that makes
any sense at all. I don't think, I'm not sure
honestly if Taylor was on the show at all, but
she, you know, she's a Mormon wife and I think
that they knew what they were doing because this
is like a popular show, I guess, like for just
another world that I'm not a part of. But yeah,
they, she, they filmed the entire season of The
Bachelorette and This video, which is years old,
has resurfaced. It honestly seems like they're
doing it on purpose, but it resurfaced and it's
just her and her past husband, I guess the father
of her kids, and she is being abusive. Yeah,
I should have maybe given a trigger warning.
Sorry, trigger warning, domestic violence, but
she's being... She's like hitting him, she's
throwing chairs at him. Her kid, she's doing
this while her child was in the room. But yeah,
I saw the video, it was obviously disgusting
and she's just being crazy. But this video resurfaced
and then, so now they're canceling the season.
They're canceling the entire season of the show.
And I don't know. It's just interesting to me
because, yeah, it's just interesting how the
internet works because obviously this video is
old. It's from like 2023 or something. It's been
in existence. I don't think this is the first
time anyone's seen it. But I don't know. I don't
know if TMZ re -released it or what, but someone
has released it again to the point where now
it's circulating. and they canceled the season.
And so now that's just been a much a controversy
because, I mean, for one, filming an entire season
of any show, but especially like The Bachelorette,
which is like a very popular series on ABC, like
this is millions of dollars, you know, in production,
in like labor, in getting these people, in feeding
them, in housing them, in the travel, like this
is millions of dollars. And now they're like,
oh, we can't, we're canceling the season because
of whatever. And to be honest, I think that they're
probably eventually going to air it. Like I think,
I feel, this feels very publicity fueled because
it's just like, I can't fathom that they're going
to genuinely like scrap the footage. And I don't
know why they would. Like, yeah, she's terrible.
Yes, she abused her husband, but like. Why does
that mean you can't? Because it's like, the only
thing that I would assume is like, they're like,
oh, we don't want to release this because it's
a bad look, because she's abusive, whatever.
But again, the video already existed. Like, I
can't fathom that you guys did not know about
this before you brought her on, because it's
like, I didn't know about this video. I didn't
even know who this bitch was. But I'm assuming
if you are bringing this woman on, you know she's
from Mormon Wives. I'm sure you did a little
bit of research, and I don't think this video
would have been that hard to find if you are
in this side of the internet. So, yeah, it's
very interesting to me, and also a lot of the
guys on the season are upset, which I'm sure
because, I mean, yeah, these are people with
jobs. Like, you have to take off work to go on
the show. They were probably taking off months
of work, you know, to... You know, obviously
I'm sure quote -unquote find the love of their
life, which like we all know that's not gonna
happen But like I think a lot of these people
are going on the show and are hoping to maybe
get a little bit of clout a little bit of you
know Sir like they want to get some sort of attention
because like okay There's about 30 of you trying
to compete for this woman's heart. All of you
were not going to win It's going to be one of
you. So 29 of you are going to go home without
an engagement, but yeah, I mean, I'm like, you
guys are going on this show because you want
to leave the show and maybe have 200 ,000 Instagram
followers instead of, you know, a couple hundred
or whatever. So these men are mad because they're
like, okay, so I filmed this entire season, I
took off work, I whatever for nothing. And it's
like, I didn't get. This girl, but then I also
didn't even get the opportunity to get some clout
off of this season Like I would be fucking pissed
But it's crazy and the Mormons are crazy there
that was just another thing about watching the
show is like It's just it's just really interesting
and the way that they operate like their lives
is kind of a fucking mess I think a lot of religion
kind of follows this, but, like, these women
are in situations where they're with men who
are treating them like shit or cheating on them
or doing whatever. And when they talk to, like,
one girl was talking to her mom about her relationship
and, like, they've been together for years. It's
been not good. And she's like, yeah, like, I
just... Don't know she brought up divorce, but
she was basically like kind of getting at that
and her mom was like Her mom was like yeah this
generation like you know they try They try it
it doesn't work, and they just scrap it and like
that's not how that works like you you can't
just like give up like you have to Okay siren
all right all right She's like, you can't just
give up. Like, you have to keep trying. Like,
this is your husband or whatever. This is the
father of your kids. Y 'all know me. Like, if
you know me in real life, if you listen, like,
you know how I feel about that. That doesn't
make any fucking sense. That is really stupid.
I don't agree with older people and their demented
sense of logic where it's like, Like yes, you
are going to have issues. They're going to be
Like no relationship is perfect. That's not what
anyone's saying but if you're in a relationship
and it has been consistently bad and It doesn't
look like your partner's trying to change or
like cares then like yeah, you should probably
leave you're not gonna get any brownie points
for sticking around and being unhappy in a marriage
and It's people have this like false notion where
they're like, oh, back then, you know, my, like
all of our grandparents, like, yeah, my grandparents
were together for 50 years, and they were together
for 60 years, and y 'all don't know about love,
and no, your grandma and your grandpa were together
for 50 years, not because they were happy or
because they loved each other, but because they
had this same view. Also, because your fucking
grandma didn't have a fucking bank account. That's
why she was with your grandpa. Like, we need
to think critically here. Older generations were
not together for way longer because they just
knew how to navigate love. No, people just stayed
together because there's this idea that divorce
is bad and it means you're giving up and blah
blah blah and Jesus says you need to stay with
your husband or whatever. People today don't
do that anymore because they're realizing that
it's stupid. That's all that that means it's
it's not like yeah, your grandma did not leave
your grandpa Because she did not have a bank
account. She did not have a job She had no money.
So yes, she stayed with him because what the
fuck else are you gonna do? You're 60 years old.
You never had a job. You don't have any money
to your name Like what seems easiest to do? so
yeah, they're dumb and it's really terrifying
and it's just like genuinely a whole different
world that I cannot understand and I'm just really
happy that I am almost 24 and I'm not married
and I don't have kids because that sounds like
my fucking nightmare. Moving on, a lot of this
is pop culture because I feel like a lot has
happened. Jack Harlow, I'm not gonna talk about
this for too long because I don't listen to him
and I don't really care. I just think it's funny.
We all know Jack Harlow. He's a white rapper
who is, you know, he wants to tap into black
culture. We've been new. This is not new information,
but he just came out with a neo soul album. And
there's a clip of him that's been circulating
around where he's talking about getting blacker.
And yeah, just Because he's talking, this guy's
interviewing him, and he's like, you know, most
white artists who, you know, are culture vultures
and want to steal Black culture for their own
personal gain, they will do so, and then they'll
kind of tread back and go into more familiar
territory. He was like, but you, it seems that
you've, you know, gone into Black culture, but
you've... And he kind of took a pause, and then
Jack Harlow was like... I got blacker." And he
was like, yeah, you got blacker. He's like, yeah.
And it pans out and it's just three white guys
in a room talking about black culture and getting
blacker. And I have nothing to say except for
obviously that's dumb as fuck. And I think Jack
Harlow thinks that because he's Being open about
it and he's being upfront about like yeah, I
am tapping into black culture and I'm getting
black or like he thinks that he That that is
He wants points for that For like not tiptoeing
around it because most artists will do that and
not acknowledge it, you know, like Miley Cyrus,
for example, I I like Miley Cyrus I do I like
her music. I think she's a bad bitch During her
bangers, twerking, tongue out era, that was obviously
her trying to, quote unquote, rebel and break
out of her mold. She did so by tapping into black
culture, twerking, getting into music that was,
I guess, blacker, more like rap adjacent things.
She did that and then now she's country again.
They do that to get attention. and then when
it's not convenient anymore and when it doesn't
fit the brand, they stop doing it. Jack Harlow,
I think, is trying to get brownie points because
he's like, I'm really about this black shit.
He's not like, oh, I'm going to be black for
a little bit and I'm going to go back. He's like,
no, I'm really black. And I don't think you're
not going to get any brownie points out of me
for that. That's not any better than being black
and then not being black. It's just as bad, but
you're just self -aware about it. I don't know,
it's really stupid and I hate it and I haven't
listened to the album, I'm not going to listen
to the album. I did see a clip of one of the
songs and also the album was named Monica because
I guess that's his favorite woman name. I just
can't with these people. Come on, please shut
up. But in one of the music videos for his song,
he's walking There's like this black woman who
has short hair and she's beautiful, but it's
just like, stop it. Like get away from black
women. And I really hope he does not pop out
with any black woman. And in the near future,
black women do not let this man get near you.
Like he is the epitome of a culture vulture.
He thinks he's so quirky and he wants this beautiful
black woman. You are disgusting. You need to
die. He needs to be dealt with. Like, I can't,
I can't. The Internet has been flaming him for
it. Yeah, that's all I have to say about it.
Moving on. Lado. Lado is pregnant. Lado is an
artist like I don't care about her. I have a
few of her songs like just for like, I feel like
for a party vibe or I'm getting drunk, I'm going
out. Some of her songs can do it for me, but
if I did not, if I couldn't listen to Lotto for
the rest of my life, nothing about my life would
change. I don't care. I think she's fine. Her
whole thing throughout her rap career, one of
her things has been like, I was a virgin before
I met you. I don't have an ex. I got low bodies.
I don't like, whatever. Her flex is that she
has not had a lot of partners. Cool. She has
been with 21 Savage for however long and neither
of them have come out and said it, I don't think,
but there was a lot of speculation and At this
point, people basically know. But I guess the
strife is that 21 Savage is married, apparently.
He's married, okay? And so Lotto comes out with
this video on Twitter the other day. And it's
an announcement and it's a video of her walking
and it's just like from the knees down. And it's
really funny because she posted it and then all
of the replies were like, she's pregnant. Like
everyone knew. And I was like, I feel like, I
was like, yeah, she definitely could be pregnant.
But I was like, this also could not be that.
And then of course the next day came and she
was pregnant. I... There's a lot to be said about
baby mama and baby daddy culture in the black
community and I truly don't think I could even
scrape the tip of the iceberg in this podcast.
I think that honestly needs its own podcast,
but I am really getting sick of it and I think
for me, my biggest thing is you are not going
to give a pregnancy announcement for a baby that
you had with a man that you can't even tag in
the pregnancy announcement. You can't post a
picture of his face. You can't tag him. No one
can know that she is having this baby with 21
Savage because he's married and he is in another
relationship. Whether or not they are actively
trying to keep the relationship going, if maybe
they're trying to separate and it's, you know,
I know that marriage is a long process and people
will be done with the relationship but still
be legally married. I don't give a fuck about
that. What matters is that he's legally married.
And even if that was just the case where he was
legally married, I could do that. But it's the
fact that neither of them are public with the
fact that they're together, even though everyone
knows, even though she posted a picture of her
pregnant belly with 21 Savage's hand and like,
I haven't even Googled, but like, there were
a lot of tattoos. You could confirm that it is
21 Savage because you could look at his arm and
look at all of the tattoos that he has and say,
yes, that is 21 Savage's hand. I have not done
that yet, but I am assuming it is 21 Savage.
I'm like it is 21 Savage that she is with She
cannot post a picture of his face. She cannot
post a picture of his body All she can post is
a picture of his hand something that's a little
bit Vague she can't tag him. She can't she also
she posted a fucking dump of the pictures of
her pregnant whatever and then a bunch of people
in the description tagged like Tag this person,
I love you, you're my sister, I can't wait for
you to be my aunt. Tag this person, thank you
for being there, whatever, whatever, whatever.
Tag the bunch of people. You can't tag the father
of your kids in this fucking post because y 'all
are trying to be fucking secretive or whatever
because you're not his girlfriend, you're not
his wife, you're nothing, you're his baby mother.
I'm growing. really agitated with this. I really,
really am. It is crazy, and I mean, I've talked
about this before. At some point, I'm sure my
feelings on even just bringing a child into this
world at this point I think is crazy, but obviously
people are gonna do what they wanna do. That
is also coming from someone who I don't want
kids. So to me, I mean, it's not a necessity
to have kids. It's not necessarily like, a right,
you can do it. But for me, I don't want kids,
I don't see it as something that anyone needs,
so yeah, I have my own personal feelings about
it. But I think also even further, just in the,
obviously shit has always been going on, nothing
has ever been perfect, but in the political climate
that we're in, in the climate that we're in,
environmentally, Um, with all of these things,
to me, giving... To me, conceiving a child seems
really crazy. Like, I think if you want a kid,
you should adopt or do something else. Bringing
new people into the world seems crazy, but that's
my own personal opinion. You're allowed to do
that. But it is just honestly the fact that I'm
so tired of these bitches popping up with kids,
which... That's another thing. I'm sorry, and
I'm gonna rant about this, because it fucking
pisses me off. 21 Savage has kids already, obviously.
He has multiple children. He has, like, I think
four kids. And... I wanna say it's with multiple
women. I would be pretty shocked if it was with
only one. I'm pretty sure he has multiple kids
with multiple women. Lato, this is her first
child. Stop... having kids with men who have
multiple children with multiple women. I'm not
gonna keep saying that. I don't understand why
we don't understand that. I'm sorry. Stop having
kids with men that already have children. Lotto's
whole thing was big mama, no kids. Yeah, I'm
waiting on the right man, right time, whatever.
This is not the right man, nor is it the right
time. Lotto is 27 years old. Okay, you can have
a kid then. Sure, my parents were younger than
that when they started having kids. I still think
it's kind of crazy, but whatever, you can do
that. I mean, she's rich. She has the resources
for a kid. But is this the right man? Is this
the right time? This is like... I mean, not that
Lato is like that successful or anything, but
this is I'm sure the peak of her career. And
so I don't understand why we're having kids at
the peak of our career. I don't understand that.
And I don't want, I like, all of it is just really,
really annoying to me. And then I also just think
like, this may be controversial, but Lato posted
her like, pregnancy visuals that she's been giving.
You know her like in heels and you know stomach
out and like in a little thotty thotty whatever.
And like I don't know I'm not saying because
I think I honestly think when Rihanna was pregnant
when she was pregnant for the first time she
really I think started a wave of women like still
You know wanting to be stylish and still wanting
to be hot or whatever pregnant, and I think that's
great like I don't Think that because you're
pregnant that means you can't be attractive anymore.
You can't dress or you can't whatever But I do
think Actually know who am I thinking of oh my
god. I'm not even thinking of water with this
I'm thinking of fucking Suki Suki Hana who's
another female rapper who just announced that
she's pregnant She, her photo shoot is what I'm
talking about, because she had, I think it was
on Vanity, I don't know, she was on some magazine
with her pregnancy announcement. Having a photo
shoot, for me, it's just like the, and I mean,
this is kind of controversial to say, because
I'm not saying that once you become pregnant,
that means you can't be a sexual being. But it's
like, why do we have to do these pregnancy announcements?
And y 'all are like, trying to be really sexy
and, like, sexualizing that? Like, I don't know.
Do you guys understand what I'm saying? It's
just, like, you can be sexy. Yes, you can wear
heels. Like, sure. But to me, it's still just,
like, I just don't get it. I'm, like, you're
pregnant, first of all. Heels in general are
crazy. They're bad for you. I'm not saying I
don't have heels. I do. I don't really wear heels.
I can't really walk in them. I do want to wear
them, like, sometimes. But... It feels just crazy.
Like why are you pregnant and you're wearing
heels? That seems dangerous to me. And it's also
like, yeah, it's just bad for your physical health.
It's bad for your calves. It puts unnecessary
stress and strain on your calf muscles. It's
definitely not good for your ankles. To me, I'm
just like, oh my God, are you not scared you're
gonna fall? But then it's like, why are you in
heels oiled up for like a sexy photo shoot announcing
you're pregnant? Not everything has to be sexual.
I don't know I'm not trying to it's not even
on some prude shit Like women should be women
do whatever you want women be sexual like that
is not my issue. I just don't understand To me.
It's just like who are you selling this to like
why do you feel the need to still be like I?
Don't know I don't know. I'm not able to like
articulate like yeah, I don't know but Yeah,
I don't know. Lotto pissed me off, and I'm, I
just, I don't stop what the pregnancy reveals.
It's truly pissing me off. Women at the peak
of their fucking careers, in their 20s, just
popping out babies for men that already have
families. Why are you having a kid with this
man? He has a family already. That's my thing.
And also, is he a good father? Is he in their
lives? I don't know. I don't follow Tony Winsavage.
I'm not in his life. But I cannot imagine that
he is, like, a stand -up, like, dad. And maybe
that's fucked up for me to say, but I just can't
imagine it. I'm sorry. I have a very colorful
imagination. I cannot imagine that. Um, it doesn't
make sense to me. And... yeah. I'm just like...
I just can't. I can't... I can't, it doesn't
sit right with me that this is the right man
and the right time for Lotto. Try again. So yeah,
I mean, I guess we'll see what the fuck happens
with that. My last pop culture thing that I wanna
talk about is Chappell Rowan. Chappell Rowan,
I don't know. I say Rowan, but I've heard that
it's Rowan. I don't know. Chapel is so, she's
so interesting to me. So I don't know if I mentioned
this, because I feel like I mentioned this in
a recent episode, but I think I said, this is
how I feel or guess how I felt. But like, I was
just like, if I was famous, I feel like I would
be like Chapel Rowan. Just in the sense that
the way that she gets annoyed with paparazzi,
I think that's totally valid. I do. I would not
be able to handle that. I would get really annoyed
by that. And that's how I felt. And then something
happened. So like, I think I did talk about this
on this episode because I was talking about how
she was recording the paparazzi trying to, you
know, have a gotcha moment and be like, hey,
like, look at how stupid I look. And I was like,
That's pretty base. Like, yeah, that's real.
Like, paparazzi, they are terrible. Like, it
is a crazy job to just, like, harass people and
follow them around. Like, I don't think that
that's okay. Um, I do... I have mixed feelings
about Chappell and, I guess, the way she complains
about being famous. Like, I get it. I don't get
it because I'm not famous, but I can understand
why you would get annoyed by... People following
you and harassing you like that totally makes
sense. My thing is is that if you don't want
to deal with that then you shouldn't be famous
so delete your shit and Hide under a rock for
a few months. Let people forget about you and
then you can live a normal life But you don't
get to get the benefits of being famous while
also complaining about it You know, like you
just don't get that because it's especially in
it's Insensitive is not the word I think, I mean,
it is insensitive, but it's just kind of, I guess,
unaware, I don't know, to just like come online
and be like, oh, my God, it's so hard to be famous.
I hate being famous. It's like, OK, well, I don't
like paying fucking rent. I don't like living
paycheck to paycheck. I don't like working two
jobs. You know, so like, don't fucking complain
to me about being famous. I don't care. So that's
how I feel about Chappell. But something happened
with her recently where she was performing in
Brazil. And that is already scary because you
do not fuck with the Brazilians. They don't play.
When they like someone, they do not play. And
when they don't like someone, they do not play.
You cannot fuck with them. But this celebrity
came online. I think he's a soccer player. I
don't know, y 'all. I don't know. He came online
and he said that chapel security guard treated
his daughter terribly. And his daughter went
up to Chappell, like, saw her somewhere, wanted
to say hi, and Chappell got her security, and,
like, they were really terrible to his daughter.
And... So, already, and it's funny because this
is coming, this is happening right off, right
after this shit with, I mean, Chappell's always
beefing with people. Like, she's always beefing
with paparazzi, she's always beefing with people.
But it's so funny for this to happen. And I immediately,
when I saw this, I was like, yeah, like, Chappell
definitely pointed at that little girl and told
her security guard, get him, get that, get that
little bitch, get her now. And had her, you know,
sent to the guillotine or whatever happened.
But then Chappell... Replies and I saw this I
think last night. Um, but she's basically like
And here's here's the thing I think chapel would
be awarded a lot more understanding if she wasn't
just such a smug asshole like all the time and
again, I I see where she's coming from in certain
instances, but her attitude is kind of just a
little crazy because she gets on this video and
she's like She's laying in bed also mind you
she's like literally horizontal. She's like I
Just want to address something that I'm you know
that someone said and then she's talking about
the situation and she's like Yeah, so like I
never saw a little girl Like or she she at first
she was like she was like that's not my security.
I think that's what she said and then she was
like And I never saw her. So, yeah, basically
just being like, yeah, I had nothing to do with
that. But then she was like, but I'm sorry. Like,
I'm sorry that that happened to you. Like, that's
terrible. But like, yeah, that like wasn't my
security, whatever. I, look, I wasn't there.
I don't know if Chappell sent the security. I
don't know if she didn't. I am assuming that
she did because it seems well within her character.
I also, I feel like her being like, it's not
my security. It's like, okay, well then whose
security is it? I'm looking around because I'm
a little bit confused. Who else would it be for?
But again, I think it's just the attitude. Say
she didn't do this. Say she never saw the kid,
whatever. It's coming online with, yeah, smug
is like the best word I could use to describe
it. It's just smug. unbothered. It's like you
couldn't even be bothered to like sit up in your
bed to record this and like have a little bit
of energy. It's like she's talking about this
as if it's like an inconvenience for her which
like I'm sure it is annoying and stressful to
be a celebrity and to deal with this where it's
like yeah you wake up and you're the the trending
topic is about you and about some shit you did.
I can understand how that can be stressful but
I also think Like, yeah, you are a celebrity.
You do have to, like, uphold a certain image.
Just come online and be fucking apologetic and
be like, hey, yeah, whatever. That wasn't my
security. I had nothing to do with that, but
I'm really sorry that that happened. That's terrible.
Whatever. Just have a little bit of, like, some
sort of human emotion instead of just like, yeah,
so I'm gonna address this thing that happened.
It's like, I don't know. It's hard for me to,
like... empathize with her sometimes and I feel
like Feelings about her are pretty split. I feel
like half of the people Like people either like
her and they're like if you come at her or if
you Criticize her you're misogynistic or they're
like the other side which is like, you know chapel
is a bitch whatever I I think while some people
who definitely people who Criticize her sometimes
are being misogynistic and I think a lot of it
is just like we're not used to seeing women Standing
up for themselves and being assertive and I will
never dock her for that. But yeah It's not always
misogyny and I think it is just like she genuinely
does just kind of have a fucking bad attitude
I don't know like if it was coming from anyone
else it was coming for a man. I would think the
same thing. It's just like Fix your fucking attitude
and stop acting like it's the biggest like inconvenience
in the world for you to just address this Simple
thing like if it's a if it wasn't you if it's
a misunderstanding then say that but I don't
know the attitude is crazy and That's it. That's
been a trending topic. I think Someone who's
big in Brazil. I don't know if this is the mayor.
I'm sorry y 'all y 'all know I don't fucking
like Do real research, but I saw that that she's
banned from playing I think Lollapalooza is what
it is in Brazil. Um, which is so funny. Like,
it's so funny to be like, yeah, so you're banned.
Sorry. Um, but it's real. I mean, I fuck with
it. Like, I mean, also, obviously, like, that
wouldn't happen if it was just, like, a random
kid, but because this is a child of, like, a
famous person, they are taking it really seriously.
And I think also that's kind of the biggest thing
from this is it's just like, yeah, I'm sure Chappell
is an asshole to a lot of people on a daily basis,
but we're just not hearing about it because they're
just commoners. They're common folk who don't
have a status or they don't have a name. But
like, when things like this happen to people
who are famous, it's like, oh, now we're hearing
about it and now, you know, this is something
that we're all aware of, but like, I mean, Chapel
does this every three days. She just does not,
she's so talented and I'm not docking her for
that, but she doesn't need to be famous because
she's a new famous person and she already is
so, she can't handle it, which is fine. Me talking
about this as if I would be able to handle it.
I don't think I would be able to do it either,
but I'm seeing how she's, Taking it and I just
I don't think that fame is her thing. Like I
think You should just do your singing and just
go to local bars and like do that But like again,
you can't have your cake and eat it too You can't
be a rich and famous pop star and not deal with
the consequences of being famous and and that
sucks I'm sorry. Like I know that's really hard
Sorry that you're you're rich and you're famous
and this is your job and you have to like deal
with that But like it is what it is And so I'm
curious to see where this is all gonna go. But
yeah, that is the end of my rant. I hope you
guys enjoyed this episode. I honestly had a lot
of fun. This was fun. We should do it again.
Yeah, maybe I'll pre -record an episode and post
it next week. I am going on vacation. I'm going
to Columbia literally this Saturday, so super
excited. I also am scared though, because, oh,
I forgot to mention this, but yeah, TSA has been
crazy with them not like getting paid. And then
there's also ICE agents in the airport, which
is awesome. And this morning at LaGuardia Airport,
which is the airport that I'm going to be flying
out of in five days, six days. there was a plane
crash and two pilots died. So that is really
sad and I am really scared. But yeah, I will
see you guys maybe next week, maybe in two weeks.
Bye.
