And we live, baby! Hey, hey, hey! And welcome
to another episode of the official Are We Cancelled
Yet? podcast with your host, JoJo, and your girl,
Tamika, a .k .a. Meek Meek, a .k .a. Encore,
a .k .a. So, we segregated now? We just gonna
get straight into it. So, we're segregated now.
Listen. Every day, Don, Don says something that
shocks the shit out of me. And I don't know why
I'm shocked at this point. I don't know why.
Also, are you just throwing shit in the air?
First of all, this is the fastest that anybody
has gotten anything done and that we felt it.
during their term we all know an executive order
is just like a wish list if you will but the
people that he has in cabinet is like wish is
my command is my command what that's what i was
saying um this agenda was already set in motion
because there's no way you're gonna you're elected
it's january very march yeah It's damn near February
and things are rolling like this. Like you've
already had people in office that felt the same
way and wanted to move on with these orders.
And these have already been there in a file tucked
away. Yep. Okay. Who was down? That's that project.
Okay. Now though, I'm only engaged as much as
TikTok allows me to be. So, uh, he just put it
in motion wait that's where I'm getting my news
wait a minute we are literally the worst adults
in history like this generation of adults my
mom tells me every day what's happening on the
news I love that I love that every day I get
a little bit more disappointed listen matter
of fact let me go ahead and look it up because
all I seen was segregation and I was like you
know what I'm already putting my dollar into
black businesses I'm already watching well this
year I made it a point to only watch content
that had at least one lead black actor or actress
so i mean but okay this is crazy and this is
a little ignorant so in the history books they
always painted as though back in the day it was
literally only black and white now we know that's
not the thing so if there is segregation how
are they going to split this up is it just going
to be white people and then other Something to
think about. It's a good question. Obviously,
I mean, it hasn't always been just black and
white. It was never just black and white. It
was never just black and white. That's how America
was built. Yeah. But we do know who qualifies
as white. Are they going based off of skin tone
or? This is interesting. I think it's just I
think it's just going to be white. and then everybody
else. I think that's why this isn't going to
go. Because if we're really being honest, POC,
the term POC loops everybody in that category
except for white people. It's not going to fly
because then you're going to have to think about
who qualifies. We already have an issue checking
the box on applications. And don't know what
to check. Everybody's mixed up. So now, is it
a plot to really divide people even more? Is
it bringing people together? Okay, so this is
what it is. I think this is why we shouldn't
get our news from TikTok and or other social
media outlets. So the Trump admin no longer requires
a ban on segregated facilities and government
contracts. So basically, if people want to, it
seems like it's an option to me, whether you
want to do it or not, but it only says for facilities
and government contracts. Was DEI initiatives
not an option? What do you mean? Everybody jumped
off that bandwagon. No, that wasn't an option.
It was, we're getting rid of these programs.
We're not offering money for these. Yeah, that
wasn't an option. That was very much, see you,
bye. But other organizations are still standing
by them. So it has to be an option. Are they
like, okay, we're just going to find the money
elsewhere? Probably. That's the only thing I
could think of. So for some organizations, what
did you really put in place for DEI besides the
title? I don't even understand why we needed
a whole system in place to tell people to do
the right thing. Because there's a time. There's
a time for everything. And that was the time
for DEI. That's what was hot at the time. We
already, unfortunately, we didn't capitalize
off of our plus size time when that was hot.
When was that hard? It was first or second. They
were like all inclusive. We trying to. Is that
what that means? Let me tell you what I don't
like. We had a couple more opportunities than
we do on a regular day basis. The thing about
it is though, we wasn't plus size enough. That's
facts. That's facts. We wasn't plus size enough.
And honestly, I feel like we need a different
category. What is it? East Coast Thick. I love
that. I didn't even know what you was going to
say. But I love East Coast Thick. East Coast
Thick. Like it is so much thicker and healthier.
Look, first of all, let me, because I know people
is going to come for my neck. From the East Coast
Thick? Because I feel like we're all in tune
with that. I feel like they're going to come
for my neck, but hear me out. If we come up with
the category of East Coast thick, it's really
the shorties who are like in between sizes. You're
not quite a 14, 16, 18. You're kind of like in
between. On a good day, you might range a little
higher. On a bad day, you know, you know what
I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Now, with
that being said, I feel like East Coast thick,
like you thick in all the right places. You shapely,
you put some jeans on that ask them, you know
what I'm saying? That's what they try to say,
curvy is. And then I saw some of them. First
of all, curvy, I just feel like it's a skinny
girl with, I can't even say a fat ass. Maybe
hips, with hips. Maybe hips. I would say, remember,
Dexter's laboratory, his mama, Kirby. Can we
go through the whole lineup of all the Kirby
cartoon characters? All of them? All of them.
All of them. If you had a crush on them, they
was Kirby. Oh, wait a minute. Speaking of Kirby
cartoon characters, did you see the trailer for
the live action Lilo and Stitch? I'm really upset
about that. What happened to the sister? What
happened to the sister? I'm really upset about
that. My girl was supposed to have calves for
days. Ass for days. Hips on wow. That's still
solid, but I'm really upset about it. I love
the little girl. She's so cute. She's so cute.
She's adorable. And I was like, I'm deaf. Her
sister, I'm deaf. She about to be tall. And she
about to have that bottom. That bottom half.
The only thing that is that I think they got
correct with that is both of them are from Hawaii.
Now, I did see on TikTok native Hawaiians. are
pissed why because they're not Samoan or what
is it Samoan right Samoan and so they're just
Hawaiian yeah because technically like their
people came over there or like migrated over
there so they're Hawaiian like kind of like our
home girl how she's Japanese but her people moved
over here she was born over there so she's technically
Hawaiian but she's not Native. To Hawaii, which
is the big uproar right now. So the hula dancing
and everything that is Samoan or that Hawaiian
thing. Samoans are. But whose was that? The Samoans
bring that or is that a Hawaiian thing? What
to Hawaii? No, the Samoans are from. No, no,
no, no. I mean. Okay, so let's say, to mix this
up just a bit more, you have African American
that was supposed to be African that came over
to American. So you brought some different things.
So there's certain things that you might do that's
African that's not American and vice versa. So
if the characters were Hawaiian, which means
they migrated from somewhere else. No, no, no,
no, no, no, no. The characters... You're talking
about the real people. No, I'm talking about
in the movie. No, no, no. Hawaiians are. They're
native. I'm talking about the real people. They're
Hawaiian because they were born there, but they're
not native. So they're not Samoan. They don't
have the tattoos and everything. I'm as ignorant
as it gets. We getting canceled. We getting...
Look, help me understand. Okay, okay. Okay, okay.
Let me give you an example. Okay, how we talk
about this all the time. British Black people.
Most of the time, they're like Jamaicans or Nigerians
that go to the UK, right? Yes. When you ask them
what they are, they're like, I'm British. Yeah,
they say where they're from. But most of the
time, they're like, I'm British. Oh, no. They're
like, I'm African. A lot of them will be like,
I'm British by way of Africa, by way of Jamaica,
by way of Africa. So in that case, it would be
for the actor's standpoint, because she is, I
don't know what she is. Let's just say, for example,
she's Japanese, right? So she would be like,
okay, I'm Hawaiian by way of Japan. Yes. So these
actors are Hawaiian by way of what? The little
girl is actually native Hawaiian. So she's Hawaiian.
Or whatever they call themselves. Yes. Yes. Okay.
Okay. I'm about to say, don't know. I feel like
I'm coming off of something. Yes. Yeah. Okay.
The one that's playing the sister, older sister,
is not. Well, that's why she ain't there. I guess.
That's why she ain't think. Let me look this
up so I can get this. I was correct. Listen,
if we wrong, go ahead and tell them we correct
us. Please correct us. I'll be shady. Because
we don't know. But also, question, because there
is an American Samoa, but they're not Samoans.
There's some, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait
a minute, people of, because I actually want
to go. And let me tell you why I want to go.
Because of the movie. All I wanted was a sister
with some big ass legs. she didn't even have
to have a big mouth they're Polynesian so people
of oh yeah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
I know that yeah yeah yeah yeah okay great yeah
I wanted to make so yeah that's right that's
right Samoan is to Hawaii Polynesian America
Samoa she is Hawaiian by way of whatever her
family is okay yeah and that's why people are
in a uproar they're also mad I didn't realize
that Hawaiians had like a colorist thing kind
of like black people with the light skin dark
skin i guess everybody does because even mexicans
what is the problem here i don't get it well
segregation back in the day they was they did
the paper bag test oh well that's why now we're
like don't even do that and honestly if you really
think about it that's why back in the day we
thought it was only black and white but they
could have been all types of stuff but they just
passed the paper bag test and they was like you
white if that's the case who's going to the white
establishments nobody and that's why they're
going to lose money that's why look first of
all if this is an option don't want people to
do that this is my this is my issue with that
what's your issue with it or my concern okay
we're going to support each other That's the
only thing that I'm seeing from this. Who's supporting
who? Black people. Oh, okay. I can't speak on
nobody else. But I feel like we're being very
supportive and we're coming together, which is
something we don't do enough. So that's the positive
that I'm seeing from this. But we still have
to go to the white man to get certain things.
So are they just going to cut us off? Okay, name
these certain things. I could probably debunk
that because we actually have a whole directory
for dermatologists, black dermatologists, a whole
directory for black dentists. Do they have their
own practice? Yes. Who did they get the loans
from to start their business? There was a directory.
Who gave them the loans to start their business?
Who are they paying their money to? Yeah, but
their loans are probably paid off by now. Are
they renting their office building? Do they own
the property? We don't know. That's my thing.
You want to call and ask? I already see it. I
know that we don't. But I mean, some of them
might. We should maybe. I feel like that. Unless
we all come together. Monetary wise and start
buying our own things and making stuff move.
We still rely on the banking system and just
other people. so that way we can run our businesses
so if we segregate are they just going to pull
out are they going to raise our rent yeah because
if we're really they do that all the time I watch
the McDonald's documentary there's only one bank
out here isn't it and I mean we're not even putting
our money there so to be honest Unless everybody
gonna do mom and pop out of their house, which
I think it's illegal for you to go up on their
mortgage, property tax, who owns these things?
The government? It's illegal now, but the way
stuff been moving and ripping and running, that
might change. Like, so what's gonna happen there?
We gonna support you all day. We gonna stop paying
for y 'all businesses. But then, are you gonna
fuck with ours? It's just gonna start a war.
So history is going to repeat itself is what
you're saying. No, because we're not going to
be ignorant enough to be submissive. We know
our power. True. We have power in numbers. But
unless we all come together like you own your
own land and hold that down, is everybody just
going to uplift, move to Atlanta? Who about to
own their own land in California? Who owns their
own land now in California? Nobody. All of that
on the damn bank on that shit. Listen, and that's
why people don't own their own homes, because
all they got to do is go up on property taxes.
I can't pay it. You take my house that I done
paid millions of dollars for, which is already
blowing my fucking mind. And nobody is going
to go to the A. Like, no shade to the A. I love
the A. Georgia literally produced the woman who
raised me. You know what I'm saying, but no,
thank you. So what we gonna do? And that's just
coming from the black side. I'm going to Italy.
Everybody else is out. If Italy let us in, they
gonna be like, come over there. Girl, Italy love
us. How many of us? A lot. You love us? Well,
how many of y 'all gonna take in? Bruh, the first
settlers of Italy were black. Also, how we gonna
get there? Plane. What black person on the planes?
The CEO of Delta is black. Do he own it? Is it
his money? He might. They could fire his ass
tomorrow. Girl! Imagine. I could imagine. So
I'm like, all the segregation talk, I get it.
I'ma follow you. But... Until we start owning
stuff. And that's what we need to think about.
But really, if you think about back in the day,
they didn't own their stuff neither. And what
they do? Do we got it? Do we got that stuff?
They ain't own their shit back in the day. But
it was still segregation. What happened? They
burnt it down or either it was flooded. Which
just happened. Which is going to be a fight.
Which just happened. If you really think about
that, which just happened. Also, where were all
the other minorities? Minorities. It's wild.
It's minorities. Where were they then? Is everybody
going to stand with us or is it just going to
be Black people? It's only going to be the Black
people. I don't even know why that's even a question.
I haven't even seen anything else on the Tiki
Talk that I've been watching. Only people I see
saying anything about this is the black people.
And they like, let's do it. Do it then. We don't
want your unseasoned food. We don't want your
something, something, something. This steak.
Something. I get it. I get it. But also. Who
else? Well, technically. Everybody is mixed up.
It's so many people. with us so therefore yeah
but what you look like on the outside then if
they're going by the color of your skin we'll
see we'll see what they're going by and then
which way you gonna go that's that's gonna be
hard to determine but honestly to be not gonna
be it's gonna be i'm gonna look at you you coming
in or not to be coming in i got the right to
refuse service at this point so but the thing
about it is they're doing it anyway whether a
law is passed or not they're refusing service
to people anyway so is that what so my my biggest
thing is if you're literally bold enough to put
a sign out there good for you because i know
that i'm just not that establishment i'm not
gonna do nothing you let it be known so is that
wait is that what the is that what the point
is if you're racist if you do not want me here
then at this point go ahead and put that up and
i will kindly not yeah because because from what
it looks like from what i read it looks like
it's an optional thing so the people who are
bold enough to do that i i honestly i'm cool
with it i would rather know this is my biggest
thing especially uh when i was saying about uh
east coast um non -minorities and west coast
non -minorities i feel like over there you do
you i do me it's a mutual respect over here honey
they will infiltrate the system they will talk
to you kiki ha ha and still not fuck with you
i don't like that tell me tell me so i can go
about my business so that's what it is let me
tell you how uh I don't even know what category,
segue this is, but Midwest Bestie. Her dude is
very vocal about these subjects. This subject
in particular. He played a TikTok. It was running
numbers. I'm not going to hold you. Running numbers.
He was saying. He was saying. segregation you
want to put this option out there put it out
there because we don't have to go anyway strong
black man marrying my girl um they took it down
when i say running numbers they took it down
running numbers he had 200 followers four hours
later he had 2 000. It was even four hours later.
The post had over 10 ,000 views, 2 ,000 comments,
running every time refreshed. She called me like,
bro, this is getting crazy. I was like, this
might be a viral moment. He wasn't doing too
much. He just had his black on black, black on
black, doing a little dance. Came in talking
about it. I went for an update because she was
tracking. Took it down. Why? That's the thing.
They want to separate it, but they also want
to silence us. Like you're bringing, the president
is bringing it up. Giving people the option,
but we can't have freedom of speech? They're
also in his pocket. Why do you think it came
back so quickly? Within a week. Is this a done
deal? Is it like you have the option? It's done?
Or is it just Donna came to the court and he
was like, boom. I'm going to give her the option.
It's done. It's done. Oh, this is wild. It's
done. Also, I would like to see who's ballsy
enough to put those signs up. I'm excited. I
don't think anyone's going to do it. But you
know what? I can't put it behind you because
Ohio acting a little crazy. Cincinnati, they
acting real crazy, real ballsy. I don't think
they're going to do it. I wouldn't be surprised
if they did it there. I don't think they're going
to do it. And I just hope that the black community
doesn't retaliate by like doing some shit that
they, you know. you don't want me here don't
have me here let me tell you why they're not
see how it's gonna gonna go because they already
know for first of all target is a prime example
the black dollar is powerful they're not gonna
do that one thing's for certain two things for
sure everybody in america is greedy as fuck this
is My conspiracy theory. The government owns
the media outlets. Yeah. Is Target really hit
like that? Why are you publicizing it so much?
I think it is. Everyone loves Target. I hate
Target. Until some things like this. Why are
you really being hit like that? I think they
are. Because I know Walmart was too. But Walmart
immediately after, I think after two, three weeks,
Walmart doubled back and was like, hey, we got
this back. Y 'all can come back now. Like, oh,
the government made me do it, but we got some
other things working. We back. We back. But what
I don't understand, I feel like as a people,
we're gullible as fuck because like we said earlier,
the term DE &I, not the concept, but the term
and everything put into place is fairly new.
I want to say, most of those jobs came up during
COVID, right? Yeah, around that time. So are
we not the least bit concerned with that? What
were they doing before this? This was the whole
time Sleepy Joe was there. My thing is, what
example were they setting before that? I feel
like nobody should tell you, have to tell you.
To be diverse within your organization. And honestly,
not even just that. Pick the right candidate.
That's what it is. Don't overlook this person
because of X, Y, and Z. That's what it is. Like
that shouldn't even be a question. I am the most
qualified person. If anything, we need to go
before, which is going to be a little bit harder
to do because nobody pays attention anymore.
Nobody really pays attention unless it's on social
media. Nobody's paying attention to how... It's
going to be blocked, obviously. Which shows,
oh boy, stuff coming down. Yeah, that too. Like,
you see what people want you to see. Which is
why I was saying, why you want us to see Target
so bad? Because it's everywhere. Target lost
out on this much money. Target lost out on that
much money. Maybe it's like a sympathy thing.
Maybe it's like, I feel bad, so we gonna shop
there? They've had enough. You're not carrying
their stuff. I feel like what they did was they
said that and then immediately after that, there
was like all of the black -owned hair care products
went on like 60 -70 % off. Yeah. I was like,
was that supposed to be like an incentive to
come back and shop? I think it was like a, let's
get the rest of this out of here. But now the
black business owners that were there, it's like,
come to my website directly. Which we should
have been doing that from the, well, I will say
somebody in my household was totally again. He
that's a black Panther in itself, but he was
totally against buying anything black in the
stores anyway. I mean, he would rather go to
the website because it's straight to them instead
of going through third party. I get that. But
sometimes it's not as publicized. You don't have
the marketing dollars or the advertisement. How
much of those things we would have known about?
I don't, I don't, I don't even think that matters
anymore. That doesn't even matter anymore with
social media. Not now. If that's what you're
looking for. But if we're, but if we're being
real. The only people, well, majority of the
people that are in those spaces are people we
already know. They're already public figures.
That's the only reason why they got in that space
in the beginning. They do have the agency. They're
not going to have all those websites. For what?
We can just sell our stuff on Target. We don't
need to. We're also not the business owners.
First of all, if I have a following. I am not
talking to nobody's store. Then you don't have
to. That's what I'm saying. Most of those people
have a following. Well, actually, I can't say
then you don't have to because it changes. Like
you're a business person. If you're selling a
product, mass consumption, if you start selling
at Target, you're going to be able to go to bigger
factories and things like that. You're not going
to be mixing shea butter and oils at home. Just
fill those shelves. Now again, if we come together
and start purchasing these items, then it's a
different story. Now you can get your website,
put your things out there. But that is the goal
for a lot of people is to be at a big box retailer.
Which was fine until you start showing your true
colors and really see what it's about. There's
no stores that just want to sell stuff because
it's the convenience. If I run out of something
right now, I'm going to want to go to the store,
not wait for shipping, handling, expedited anything.
Is there not a place where we can actually just
sell something and not try to monopolize on something
else? No, because then it's not a business. I
feel like all of that is trash. It's the truth.
It's trash. It's the economy. Which is trash.
Crazy. Pending people. I just I don't know what
direction we're headed in. I just ask that we
stay together. Stay on top of the news. I'm going
to keep myself excluded. Because the mental capacity
is not there 100 % all the time. Also don't watch
the news. But I'll tune in when I need to tune
in. And then you'll tell me. And my mama. But
stay on top of it. They have some votes that's
coming up. In order to get some democracy. Say
it out loud. Huh? See, you shouldn't be saying
shit like that out loud, Mika. But I'm watching
the news. Yes. Who watches the news? Cut it out.
Oh, my. And that's the problem. I don't even
know if I get that channel. If they wanted me
to watch the news, they wouldn't have took it
off of free TV. It's still on free TV. TV ain't
free no more. Yes, it is. That's because what
kind of TV you got? Something smart. It ain't.
Girl, I can't even read it. My TV still got the
rabbit channels. No, you got a good one. Hold
on to that. I'm trying to get the local ratchet.
I'm trying to get the local ratchet shows that
only come on those channels. Give me a bounce.
I ain't got no bounce TV. I ain't got bounce.
Oh, that's crazy. New TVs, they don't want me
to know what's going on. That's why you need
to get Samsung. Look, anything Android. Count
you in. I'm going to say this and I'm going to
say this right now. Android is for the people.
Stop. They better not let Android come out with
nothing. Don't say nothing. Android is for the
people. Don't say nothing. Listen, if it wasn't
for FaceTime, because I got to talk to my peoples.
Android got that. No, it doesn't. It has meat.
Don't hit me with that. No. started no it's not
facetime no it's facetime because you gotta it's
not even me hold on hold on the link to a link
oh no no no no i'm about to play with me don't
play with me don't play with me where's my contacts
because i for sure don't know your number by
heart don't play with it you at verizon no i'm
not even telling you who i'm with on here Verizon
for the people too. It's the new, new. Oh, you
with Spectrum. I forgot about that. Yeah. I don't
know. Oh, oh, that's why. Yeah, I'm with Verizon.
I forgot how it works. I forgot. It ain't going
to work because you're not with Verizon. I forgot
how it works. It's no T -Mobile. I ain't been
with T -Mobile. I ain't going to hold you. I
miss them a little bit. I miss Sprint. I don't
know why. That old expensive thing. Carry on.
The world is gone to shit. We're going to try
to come back from But on the plus side, you have
plenty of things to keep your entertainment and
focus off. Like what? Podcasts. Like podcasts
and radio. I don't listen to podcasts. And radio.
Well, perfect. Because you won't miss out on
the latest buzz. You know me. I have been an
advocate for the Breakfast Club for quite some
time. However, my attention has steered away
to Joe. You know, the budding one. Because I
only have limited time to entertain myself with
those things. And he has captured my heart. Him
and the crew. However, the latest buzz with the
Breakfast Club has gotten me intrigued. Oh, with
Jess Hilarious and Lauren? Yes. One. Okay, there's
so many things. There's a lot of factors that
goes into this. I saw when Jess came on. I was...
Was I excited? I was excited because Angelique
wasn't my favorite. I didn't know her role. I
didn't know how much she was doing. I just saw
her on TV and it was a little dulled down compared
to Charlamagne and DJ Envy. That's because she's
a professional. Maybe. I didn't need that. I
needed entertainment. That was real journalism.
Probably. It was. But I didn't know that. I didn't
know what I went into her position. So then just
with the mess came and I was entertained because
it was a mess. I don't know if it was real and
it doesn't matter because it was funny. And I
felt like that was her job. Funny entertainment.
Envy, probably DJ Envy came with more news at
that point, maybe. And then Charlamagne is funny.
He a little shady. But the only fun part of him
is like gay jokes. And I'm over it. Are you gay
or not? I don't think he is. You have to be married.
Oh. Oh. First of all, let's just stop right there.
That is not an indicator whether or not somebody
is or is not LGBTQIA+. That is true. Not saying
that he is, but I'm just saying we don't know.
I'm impressed that you knew all the letters.
I'm an ally. Love that. Hope we have some allies
in the Black community with this whole segregation
situation, but I digress. Continue. Oh my gosh,
is that going to be another separate? So. Like
we just all need to come together. We just all
need to come together. Okay. So either way, Jess
came and it was some comedy added to it. It was
different. It was a shift. Got pregnant and left
ASAP. I was like, how did you get this in your
contract? Did you just not tell them? They had
to know. They had to know. Then she says she
helped him find Lauren. Well, she hired Lauren
on, but Lauren was already a producer on the
show. Oh, okay. So Lauren had been there. Yeah,
she was already behind the scenes, which her
title is still producer. So that's where the
issue lies. because she's like okay i come back
from maternity leave and i feel like we also
need to take into account we don't know she may
be going through postpartum emotions are a little
feeling like okay i don't belong here and it's
different after you have a baby you get what
i'm saying but her biggest thing was okay lauren's
title is still producer whatever they they said
her title but ultimately she's still a producer
if y 'all were going to integrate her into the
show as a fourth host Y 'all should have gave
her a different segment. Why is she still doing
the segment that I initially started? You know
what I'm saying? Like, just with the mess, my
news is real. Yeah. Got her from her own little
situation and incorporated that in the show.
Yep. Now, when Lauren took over, was it... What
was it? It was supposed to be temporary. What
was the title? Oh, her title. It wasn't just
with the mess. It was just like regular news.
Let me tell you. Yeah. Okay. So boom, she coming
in to tell you the news so we can talk about
it. Yeah. And then Jess comes back. She don't
have the mess. Lauren's still doing the mess.
That's where I'm a little stuck. So from what
I saw, Jess went on social media and did her
whole rant because um what it is people on social
media was like Lauren okay well we like Lauren's
better but people also have to realize Lauren
is she actually went to journalism school it's
going to be a different delivery every time she's
going to ask the right questions and interviews
to get the answers that she wants like that is
what people are taught in journalism school Jess
is an entertainer. And that is where the audience.
You are a personality. Yes. But the thing about
it is. The difference like to your point. To
what you said earlier. You wasn't really feeling
Angela Yee. So Angela Yee has a journalist background.
I liked Angela Yee until she left. And I saw
it was something different. Then I started to
think about the show. In a different way. It
was entertaining. I'm not coming here for the
news all the time. But I think to that point.
Lauren, she is, I would literally say she's Angela
and Jess in one. She has personality, but she's
also a professional in the field of journalism.
Lauren being the producer, would she give the
information to Jess to deliver? Was that her
job to, if she's a producer, was her job to get
the information? What did she do in the back?
She was a producer. I don't know what producers
do. Oh, that's what I'm saying. I feel like she
came up with the information for them to report.
I don't think that's what producers do. In radio?
Yeah, producers don't do that. Because this is
still radio. You make sure everything runs smoothly.
Yeah, but they're not providing the information.
They got like an intern or some shit doing that
probably. Oh, she wanted me using her journalism.
But I think, no, when she was on air. I know.
But I'm trying to get the dynamic of what it
was before she was on air. She's working behind,
making sure everything runs smoothly. But you're
not using, you're not doing any research. Also,
we don't know how old she is or what. Right.
So that's what I'm like, okay, I don't know where
that all lines. I can only go based off of just
came, vented on social media. Do we agree with
that? With her venting on social media? Yeah.
Me personally, I don't, but that's me because
I'm a private person just started on social media.
So it makes sense for her to go to social media.
Does she not work there anymore? No, she's still
there. She just did an episode. Okay. Cause they
were, that was the headlines, her departure from
the breakfast club. And then she's telling about
the inner workings of everything and how it was
working. They just did a interview with Felicia
Rashad. Was Jess on it? Yes. Because that's one
of the things. Okay, that was the same episode
they was hashing it out. They were talking about
it, which I enjoyed. Which was probably all by
design. First of all, if one thing is for certain,
two things is for sure. Reality TV, which I put
a radio show like that into reality. They like
drama. They like mess. Now that's what the producer
does. That's the producer. Yes. The producer
does. Yes. So yes, I feel like if anything that
brought more ratings to the show and then I let
her go. We're dropping off a little bit. A lot
of people were like, you know, they're going
to create more drama. A lot of people were saying
it wasn't professional. Why is your sister calling
me? I don't know because she's talking. I hear
her. Y 'all, we're on air. What's up? And we
can hear you. Oh, y 'all told us to do our research.
Does she want to come in? She said, do you want
to come in? She better not come in here. She
said, y 'all got a fact check. Do your research.
That's all I'm saying. No, that's the whole point.
We talking it out. Hello? To all of our friends
out there that's listening to our conversation.
Now I gotta edit that out. Do you know how hard
it was to edit out Susie's number on the last
episode? Oh, you can see it? You saw it? No,
when I was like, why is your sister calling?
Like, I did this. But, um, yeah, no. First off,
let me address that real quick. We not doing
the research. You know why? Because we talking
to our homegirl, our home boy. That's the whole
point of the podcast. Look. If you hear us talking
over here and you over here snooping, you might
as well just join the conversation because this
is the podcast for people that are in a car,
on the way to work, that's on the ticky -tock,
that don't get it all, but they're trying to
figure it out or they just don't care and they're
just trying to talk about it. Baby, listen. First
of all, and I've been to your house. Her room
is nowhere near you. Like she on the other side
of the wall, listening in. This podcast is for
you. Go follow. Go like, follow, and subscribe.
Tell us, Sabika, how do you like living with
Jesus? Don't do that. I don't live with my sister.
We live together. We are equals. That's what
I said. Until the bill comes. Because when that
bill comes, I'm the tenant. Remember that. What
would you like for Denver? Hey, yo. Hey, y 'all.
I'm looking at my phone. Y 'all need to do y
'all research. Get out of here. Thanks, mom.
All right. Girls, boys, everybody listening in.
All right, back. They were saying it was unprofessional,
just like us breaking. But I thought it was very
professional. It's real life. Like, you're going
to have people on there. You have them listening
in. You want to come off as real. Like, this
is honest. This isn't just news. We here talking
to each other. I'm sister, brother type of relationships.
Then let stuff happen in real time. These are
my emotions, postpartum or not. This is how I'm
feeling. We're going to address it right here.
Yeah. Also too, when you have two people that
come from background of journalists who are professionals,
and then you have DJ Envy who comes from a generation
to where you DJ, but still enough, you come from
a generation to where you don't run in. and tell
your business what that's just like when your
mom say what happens in the house stays in the
house you don't go and tell my business out in
the streets yeah until you own this type of platform
and everybody has an opinion and they're voicing
it yeah it's different when people don't be seeing
the little stuff that's happening in the house
they see how they act towards each other and
no shade but just have one more time to tell
me to shut up or soosh lauren kept a real professional
in those type of situations hey yo and i feel
like way before now and i feel like that's where
it lies i feel like now she's saying okay i need
to step my game up It's not just about bringing
the funny and the ha ha. I need to bring the
professionalism as well. Yeah, but no, I was
brought on for the funny and the ha ha. Y 'all
saw who I was before. The audience don't want
that anymore. That's what she was talking about.
The audience spoke and they was like, we want
Lauren. We like Lauren better. That's why I said,
I feel like she can still be personable, but
still be professional in the same. That's what
I don't see because I like Jess. That's good.
It was entertaining. you are just with the mass
I'm coming here for that Charlamagne, Massey,
Envy just don't talk majority of the time and
I can't say that I'm tuned in like I was before
of course because y 'all I have to I can't really
speak too much about this because I don't want
you to know either way where we got the social
medias I like hash it out if it's a family We
a family? We gonna talk about it. And if we're
allowing y 'all to come in, then we gonna do
that. Hash it out. Either I'm going to be more
professional or I'm gonna be messy and then we
gonna have a whole new dynamic. I don't like
that. We gonna have two people that's doing interviews.
Jess that comes in with a little every now and
again and DJ Envy that's just there. Is that
gonna be the dynamic? Because now if you fire
Jess, what is this about to look like? It's not
about to look like nothing because people on
the internet ain't rocking with her anymore since
Lauren came on. Some, but not all. It's just
you. Oh, is it? You ain't seen them comment.
It's just you. It's just me? I think she funny.
I like Chaz. I like her on social media. Oh.
Dang, it's just me? Yeah. Alright, I'm going
to watch an episode and see. You're not going
to sit through a whole episode. Quit lying. What
are you about lying on this podcast? I'm going
to watch it when I'm driving if I'm not listening
to us. And there you go lying it again. You don't
even listen to us. The only reason why I listen
to us is because I have to edit it. That's because
we live it in real life. Gosh. We live it in
real life. If y 'all don't, you need people like
us to help the time go by. Girl. We've already
come to the conclusion Susie is our biggest supporter.
And I love that. After we said that, she don't
even listen. That's rude. That's messed up. Also,
something that we have been forgetting is what
I want to bring attention to. Oh, our sponsors.
Our sponsors. Because we couldn't do this without
you. We are here almost every week. We are almost
consistent. Editing is on point. Always. Always
on point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes I'm shown
in a good light, which has been brought to my
attention. But sometimes I ratchet looking. Who
brought it to your attention? Now we need to
see if that person. Excluding this week because
did you think I didn't have locks anymore? She
does. She's a lot girly unless her hair falls
out. But today she got these up. This girl. Right.
This girl. Copyright infringement. But thank
you to our sponsors. Whoever you are. Insert
here. We still don't have sponsors. Feel free
to insert here. We still don't have sponsors.
Not yet, but we can and it can be you. We will,
but me and Tamika did get it. Actually, I got
invited, but I'm going to say we. Me and Tamika
got invited as VIP guests for a certain event.
We're not going to tell you what it is. You're
just going to have to wait until you see the
videos and pictures on Instagram. I love this.
And I hope they interview me so I can be like,
yes, I am one half of are we canceled yet? And
that's our dynamic on this show. It's me. Where
you see her, you see me. You see me, you see
her. Except for R &B only because she doesn't
want to go with me. I'm not going to R &B only.
The tickets are high. If you want to go to R
&B only, let's go to... They're not calling it
the Millennium Tour. What are they calling it?
I don't know. I saw that while I was crying or
something. Stop. Omarion went viral because a
girl said he had eight cup titties. That body?
Wait, also. But his body don't look, he has a
dad bod. Has Trey Songz been up there? Yes. Oh,
really? Chicka Trey, he actually, because he's
been going viral on TikTok, how he sings, how
he does like that when he's singing. so he did
that on stage like make in front of the joke
no people make fun of the way he's okay because
he doesn't go see because I was invested in that
uh the feedback I've been getting give give me
y 'all in y 'all 30s yeah and I am as well but
I didn't want to feel like that that's why it's
for us I wanted to feel like 16 again At this
point, I'm not going to hold you. I will skip
this tour to go to a Day 26 Danity Kane reunion.
You're not going to have that because you should
know why. Aren't they out of that? No, they're
not out of that. They're doing that because he's
in jail right now. And they're singing a song,
so do it before you get out. Girl. intimate like
pop up you trying to make this man rich in jail
speaking of jail R. Kelly hopped on the uh the
residuals challenge baby he said wait my man
started it off and I'm gonna get close to the
mic hey only got two minutes let's go only got
two minutes Robert Sylvester Kelly. My boy said,
I said, my boy said, only got two minutes. Immediately,
I thought, Chris, who has it in for you, my guy?
Who has it in for you? You had the documentary

Thank you. End you with Diddy. As much as possible.
And now R. Kelly done jumped on your song. Yep,
yep, yep. I hate to say it. It was fire. Whoever
his producer is, whoever that was on the phone
recording. His bunkmate? Nah, because he was
on the phone. You got to collect calls. They
recorded all the way from there. They still say
that? Yes. I ain't got no jail call in a long
time. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. I guess
they still do that. I'm not even, I'm not even.
I'm like, do they? I don't even, if I was stranded,
I wouldn't even know how to call Colette. Oh,
I'm through. How you do it? Wait a minute. They
don't put that on the phones anymore. They still
put it on the phones, but you've made a valid
point. With everybody having cell phones, like...
But you have money on your books. Do they really
charge you? I don't think they're charging you.
That's not how it work. They're not charging
people? You got money on your books. No, but
they always charge the person who's taking the
call. But everybody has cell phones now. So,
so is it all? Ooh, ooh, ooh. Okay. Hold up. Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait. Homework for everybody.
I need y 'all to look at your terms and conditions
for your mobile carrier and see if collect calls
is in there. It might be in there. It might be
in a contract. It's in there. Is it under? Wait,
that face. yeah no people don't read contracts

old twat. They young. Oh. I should have said
that. Tamika. They got to be old enough to get
in. And I'm going to clip the hell out of this.
They got to be old enough to get in. Why you
whisper? I already said it. You already said
it and you know I can't edit it out. It's too
much work. I can't edit it out automatically.
This is why we got to stop the podcast while
we ahead. We have to continue our schedule of
getting inside. We wouldn't be tripping if Shorty
over here wasn't listening to our conversation.
Oh, she calling me. Y 'all didn't listen to the
podcast. She heard you. I'm playing. Get out
of here. He was about to get mad. You're real
upset. Meanwhile, that's the person I'm talking
about. That's the one in there with the conjugal
visits? What? Girl, no. Girl, no. I was talking
about the one ear hustling. Oh, yeah. That's
why I was like, wait a minute. You talking about
stay on to our regular schedule program. You
know what's on our regular schedule program?
Your segment. Unpopular Opinion. Which we have
a lot throughout this whole thing. I'm going
to go on a high note because it was getting a
little deep, baby. So, Unpopular Opinion. And
I'm going to look in the camera when I say this.
International horror movies are better than American
horror movies. I said it and I don't care. Your
unpopular opinions are starting to be more and
more factual. I feel like it's only factual because
we're aligned. Everybody else does not think
the same way as us. They're really scary. Some
of them. Bruh, they're not on the same wave as
us. You know what? We're going to say that for
next episode. Oh, I got an unpopular opinion.
Two in one episode? Two in one. Ooh. We're getting
canceled, but go ahead. Unpopular opinion. Talk
to me is one of the best scary movies ever. And
on that note, thank you so much for listening.
Thank you so much for listening to. Thank you
so much for listening to. Are we? Are we canceled?
Listen to this whole music while I find the stop
recording button that I can never find at the
end of the episode. Oh, found it. Bye. No, that's
pause. All right. Stop. Bye.
