Ever had a drive-thru mystery that left you in stitches? Picture this: a Burger King worker keeps calling our host "Josh," despite the host's name being anything but that! This episode kicks off with a laugh-out-loud story that leads to a deeper discussion about life's unpredictabilities and how our unique perspectives—my life as a single guy with no kids versus my co-host's hectic family life—bring both humor and understanding to our everyday moments.

We get serious yet keep things lively as we navigate through the complexities of drug use and addiction. Ever wondered how smoking could impact your job prospects or what Mike Tyson really thinks about jail? We cover it all, from the Olympics to the strain of the day, "Meat Breath." Our chat is filled with personal anecdotes, unexpected insights, and lots of laughs, making heavy topics feel a bit lighter and more relatable.

Shifting gears, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of Simone Biles at the 2020 Olympics and get into the amusing dynamics of reality shows featuring celebrities' siblings. From Olympic basketball to the intricacies of the prison system, our conversation spans a wide array of topics, wrapping up with thought-provoking reflections on justice and societal norms. Tune in for a rollercoaster of emotions, insights, and a good dose of humor!

That's a new Sprite At Burger King, oh, okay, burger King. And so the guy took our order, but he didn't order the Sprite. And the guy said is that all you want? And I was like did you want the Sprite? So he said hey, josh, and for a minute I'm like did I go deaf? Did I miss his name when he said it? Since when is drive-thru workers announcing their name?

Speaker 1:

You did not miss it.

Speaker 2:

That man did not miss it. They had a full-on conversation and he called this man Josh like six times, as if this was really his name. And my man says no point saying Josh, that's not my name. I was about to say, and Josh didn't come up. It didn't say nothing. So what are the chances that you just knew that this guy's name was Josh.

Speaker 1:

His name was actually Josh.

Speaker 2:

He back there like how he know we don't even wear name tags.

Speaker 1:

That is funny, that is funny.

Speaker 2:

He killed me Because I'm like my guy is just responding to Josh. Now I'm confused Because I was thinking. I missed something. When did you say your name, sir? At what point did I go deaf in this conversation? Oh man.

Speaker 2:

a lot of things, because I lie on life and life is out here or something else. Life is out here?

Speaker 1:

For sure, no, but to refresh y'all, let y'all know this podcast is all about perspective. So I am a single man with no kids, a married woman with four kids, four of them hoes, and so just the way that we view life is obviously different, because we're dealing with different things.

Speaker 2:

We're going through it differently.

Speaker 1:

Right, and so hopefully we can help y'all, from if you're like me, if you're like her or anywhere in between get to a point in this world where we can agree to disagree. Whether we do agree on something, or whether we don't disagree or don't agree on something, we ain't got to fight. We ain't got to fight, not at all.

Speaker 2:

Not at all. We ain't got to fight, not your daddy.

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, so that's what this is about. So hopefully we can bring literally any type of topic that y'all want to hear, that y'all want to hear us talk about. We got it on the radar because nothing's off limits. So, with that being said, what are we talking about today?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

Just imagine you had a 10-year sentence. All you did was sleep man For 10 years For 10 years.

Speaker 2:

I would be the most awake person when I get out.

Speaker 1:

Bro, bro. But even thinking about that, all right, but wait, because we about to go into the topics before Did you know you can pick up someone from jail A random person to the Taffys before?

Speaker 2:

Did you know you can pick up someone from jail A random person? Like apparently there's like a list online of people who are getting released at certain dates and stuff and you can sign up to pick them up if they don't have somebody, because you know, most of the time you got to have somewhere to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can just go pick up an inmate.

Speaker 1:

No, I didn't know that that's dumbest thing you could do. I wouldn't say it's dumb, especially if you're like a person that just you're big on humanity and stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

I can see like it's got to tell me what he was in. Oh for sure.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm not just picking up murder, murder, oh my gosh. I ain't picking up yaks because he might just get where your sister at you don't know. Nigga bow and he right back in there and I'm gone, you really dated a murderer.

Speaker 2:

That just to even every time I say it.

Speaker 1:

It just be like that's wild as fuck and not like it was just a one off yeah, or an accident that he murdered somebody like, yeah, he went with the. That's wild.

Speaker 2:

The full-on intentions Right Like let's go rob this person and I'm going to murder him.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, so this is another hybrid and honestly, I can't find a lot of pure weeds anymore. Weeds have been mixed so much that damn near every strain is a hybrid almost. But this is a mix. What was you about to say Nothing? This is a mix between meatloaf and Mendo breath. That's disgusting. Those are two different weeds. Meatloaf and Mendo breath that's disgusting. Those are two different weeds. Meatloaf weed yeah, that's gross. Latina does it. Do you eat meatloaf? Yeah, meatloaf is delicious. So why would the weed be disgusting? Because weed is gross and weed stinks. You're an idiot. But this one is that one to knock out. This is indica heavy hybrid and literally on it it's a sleepy, tingly and relaxed not tingly those are the effects that you get.

I was just getting full off the drink. Yeah, that's crazy, that's wild Because full off the drink, yeah, that's crazy. That's wild Because we went bowling before that. Yeah, yeah, and we had drinks there, yeah, and I thought I was feeling a little tipsy while I was there.

Speaker 1:

Maybe the bowling like Sobered you up a little bit yeah, because of the activity Could have been, or you just talked yourself out of it again.

Speaker 2:

Maybe Once again and feeling it. I'm ready for y'all to leave.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to just get you a ball of coke and just have you snort it.

Speaker 2:

Hey, I'd be really wanting to do stupid shit like that. There's something wrong with me. I need to find this out. Why can't I get high? What's going on? Don't do that. I need some heroin. This ain't it. Somebody got some meth this ain't it. Somebody got some meth. That ain't it either.

Speaker 3:

That ain't it.

Speaker 2:

I really don't think I would get addicted.

Speaker 1:

I mean some people just don't have an addiction, I think.

Speaker 2:

I would really offend somebody if I did some coke or heroin and then offend, yeah, and. I'm like what. You don't like my shit. What's going on with you, homie? I think you need to go talk to somebody, Right?

Speaker 1:

Well, life be life, and so they might need to talk to somebody. I'm dead ass.

Speaker 2:

I might be so stressed, the high can't take it away. No drug is matched for my stress and drama. Jesus Christ, y'all don't want to live my life, you just got to go straight into therapy.

Speaker 1:

Nothing else is going to help. Nothing going to help. You're going to have to work through your shit. Everybody else got vices.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to need a night of the strongest alcohol Right All the coke, all the heroin, meth. I'm goinga need it all. You funny To even get a budge of my trauma to be like, okay, we'll back off.

Speaker 1:

You funny.

Speaker 2:

You funny, you funny.

Speaker 1:

Alright, so what you wanna start with.

Speaker 2:

So the Olympics? Because I don't think that's gonna be long, because I don't know what's going on, what you not following him. Nah, bro, do you ever? Nah, bro, do you ever Nah?

Speaker 1:

bro, come on. I know you don't like sports and shit, but it happens once every four years.

Speaker 2:

Every time I go to spell Olympics, I spell it Ollipop.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what that's about. I don't either. But Olympics right. Actually, I was watching it the other night and it made me think of you, Because our girl was on there.

Speaker 2:

Not Simone Biles, simone Biles, but our boy was on there too. I did see the clip of her family. What was he doing? The family cheering on her, yeah, her husband. Yeah, yeah, but you was trying to say, like my man, oh, I don't doubt that he support her. Oh, okay, I just feel like you trying to play, like you didn't know who she like.

Speaker 1:

Don't do that, don't do that it was, but Don't do that I was going to say. You actually just added some ammo to your argument because you don't watch the Olympics, but you know who she is.

Speaker 2:

For sure you can't tell me you in sports and you don't know who she is. You ain't even got to be.

Speaker 1:

I'm leaning to you a little bit more, but it's still possible that he could have, not Nah?

Speaker 2:

homie, it's still possible, because that's just like where Raven's wife she was saying she didn't watch that. So Raven growing up.

Speaker 3:

But she knew who Raven was Right.

Speaker 2:

but people was trying to misconstrue what she said, as if she said she didn't know who Raven was. Right, no, I'm not stupid. I didn't live under a rock. Of course I knew who she was, I just didn't watch the show, right. Latina, that don't mean how dare she.

Speaker 1:

That don't mean my man is the exact same, the exact same, but yeah, I was watching it because she is now the most decorated gymnast in American history.

Speaker 2:

That's amazing yeah.

Speaker 1:

I don't know how old she is, but I think she's still in her 20s.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And she has the most Olympic medals gold Olympic medals of any gymnast in American history.

Speaker 2:

I'm like have you seen her sister? Oh, hello, it's a dog.

Speaker 1:

Just so y'all know Today is really it's August 1st.

Speaker 2:

It's August 1st. What does that mean? The Julyleos have left the building. That's what that means, and August 1st is coming up this August bullshit is coming.

Speaker 1:

I thought his owner was going to walk behind him. So did I.

Speaker 2:

When you looked up I thought he might be right there. Nope, my man is just out here.

Speaker 1:

He out here living life, but yeah, she's the most decorated, american gymnast.

Speaker 2:

Have you seen her?

Speaker 1:

sister. She got a sister yeah.

Speaker 2:

No, okay, there was this show called. I don't know what it was called, but it was hosted by Kevin Jonas and their youngest brother, no the youngest, oh, the one that wasn't in the group. Yeah, got, you, got, you got you, but basically it was a bunch of celebrities, siblings or family members that lived in a house.

Speaker 3:

I can't remember what the show was called.

Speaker 1:

I think I've seen it and she was on the first season where they all had to guess who.

Speaker 2:

Everybody was related to Gotcha. I don't know why she went on there. She looked just like her. Her mom pushed out the exact same baby twice and you don't think we're going to find out who your sister is, but the thing is she got to stay in the house longest because that was an easy guess, Because at the end of every episode two people have to guess who the person's sibling is, and whoever get it wrong got to go home. So because everybody knew she was related they kept her there.

Speaker 2:

So, they just kept her there. Like we're not, we're going to wait until the end, to the last two people, so the last person is going to be able to guess who she is.

Speaker 1:

Well, I feel like that's even more stupid. Get her out of there quickly. No, because now you're making it easy for the winner of the show.

Speaker 2:

Right. Any one of them could have been the winner. So they all was thinking the same, that's true. And Kiki Palmer's sister was on there. Did she look like her? No, not, until you know that she's Kiki Palmer's sister. She lied and said that she was related to Lawrence Fishburne, and that's who she looks like, before you know that she is Kiki. That's rude, but she knew it.

Speaker 2:

I mean, she said it so yeah, it ain't too rude, and I'm like dang, you really do look like him, like you could believe that. Yeah, like that's your daddy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's wild, but she's.

Speaker 2:

Keke Palmer's sister. I wouldn't have. I would have never.

Speaker 1:

Oh, go ahead, I'm going to let you finish that.

Speaker 2:

I would have never guessed she was Keke Palmer's sister.

Speaker 1:

Go ahead 2020 Olympics head um 2020 olympics the gymnastics squad. One of the team members was michaela skinner, but she didn't get chosen to participate in this year's olympics, is it every four years? Yeah, you just now realize that I don't pay attention to that. You're a while, at least the summer ones. I'm not up on the winter olympics. But yeah, maybe that's why I thought because I don't pay attention to that, you're a wild, at least the summer ones I'm not up on the Winter Olympics.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, maybe that's why I thought, because I don't think that's over four years. I don't think so either.

Speaker 1:

But um and so she didn't get picked this year to be a part of the gymnastic squad, but she was just like. I feel like this year's squad is lacking talent.

Speaker 3:

Their work ethic just isn't there, obviously the work ethic isn't there, but the most decorated gymnasts of all the team, but they just won the duos gold, solos gold, all around gold.

Speaker 1:

And so Simone Biles had posted in her caption lazy, non-talented, non-athletic Olympic champions.

Speaker 2:

She found some real balls when everybody came for her husband.

Speaker 1:

But then the girl blocked. Simone Biles, I bet, I bet how you going to get mad when you were talking about these girls like that.

Speaker 2:

Simone Biles, like really came out of her shell when people came for her husband.

Speaker 1:

But you got a leg to stand on Right right you killing it.

Speaker 2:

Because, even though I don't agree with what he said in that interview, Y'all not going to come to my husband yeah yeah, Like I can still support that she felt that way and did that.

Speaker 1:

And now she's like I'm not letting nobody say nothing about nothing about me. I was like you, better go white girl and white girl, of course the Michaela girl, right. But I was like that, better go white girl, White girl of course, the Mikayla girl. Right, but I was like that's just entitlement. How you gonna get mad that you said it, because for you to entertain with some of these girls and you can't just be happy for it, right?

Speaker 2:

Clearly, they Clearly, you was the lazy, untalented, unmotivated person.

Speaker 1:

So clearly you, they saw something that you didn't get. Yeah, and it's fine. We talked about that last episode. I think it should not be a thing. I mean, we talked about it in relationships, but it's fine. Mm-mm, mm-hmm. I feel like blocking is a coward move it definitely is a coward move, because stand on what you said, but for the people that's not doing it, for the people that just got stalkers and shit, if you just want your, peace for sure.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah you should have to request it but another highlight, you just gotta request it. Um, they got a shooting category right. A shooting, yeah, like guns, and they just shoot at a target to get bullseyes and stuff like that that's gotta be new I don't know how new is, but uh, japan ended up winning gold. Not Japan, yeah, but when you see the girl that won Not a girl.

Speaker 1:

You're not following this shit at all. But she had like on, they can wear stuff to help them out. To see the target. She had it all done up the glove, the gun, glove, everything. She won gold.

Speaker 1:

Because she was literally this close to it. My man from Turkey won silver but he came up there with nothing on but T-shirts, sweats and some glasses and literally had his hand in his pocket while he was shooting. My man was like, oh, it's nothing to me, I'm a natural born shooter. And I said, yes, You're a natural born shooter If you go home with silver and I mean you see everybody, they had all the gear.

Speaker 2:

Gold is the best.

Speaker 1:

Gold, silver, bronze.

Speaker 2:

I don't know why. Because they say silver is worth more than gold. So in my mind they did it that way. It's the Olympics.

Speaker 1:

Latina, not real.

Speaker 3:

Oh my God, I want to move on from this topic just because I'm talking to my damn self, jesus.

Speaker 1:

And I had another highlight. I don't even know if I want to talk about it now.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I feel like I've seen a movie where they did it that way, where they did gold not being the highest. They never, not in the context of Olympics.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what it was Gold has always been the best I need to smoke. Yep, I'm about to roll up. It's time to light up because she going to piss me off tonight.

Speaker 2:

Why they don't have sumo wrestling in the they do oh.

Speaker 1:

See you just they got fencing. You know the sword. Yeah, yeah, really they have so many that's what I'm saying. You can find something I do need to watch it, I do need to. You can find something that you're into. They got beach volleyball. They got. That wasn't the highlight, but it was crazy. This dude Beach volleyball yeah, that's not a real sport. The Summer Olympics, that's not a real sport, it's volleyball. How?

Speaker 3:

come it ain't. That's not a real sport.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay, I want to see you try to play it. I can play it, but this dude that used to be, he's in the Olympics this year for volleyball. Like he only played a couple seasons in the NBA and then switched his sport, I was like good for you is basketball in the Olympics during the winter or summer. Yes, it is both, because I definitely said, or both because they might take. I can't stand you, man. This is the last time we talk about sports on this podcast?

Speaker 2:

No, it's not. Because you just don't listen to shit, Because I definitely said or yeah.

Speaker 1:

I know that's my bad, but I'm going to read about this question. Do you know who?

Speaker 2:

Jason Tatum is. I know who Channing Tatum is and he don't do sports he plays for the Boston Celtics NBA.

Speaker 1:

I was definitely about to be like football is.

Speaker 2:

Football is in the Olympics.

Speaker 1:

Is football in the Olympics?

Speaker 2:

I didn't think so.

Speaker 1:

Basketball, basketball. But he just won a championship, the NBA Finals championship. It's so hot it is. I'm sweating. It's because you're pissing me off, you're making me hot. But yeah, he just won the championship with his team.

Speaker 2:

Wait, oh, he just got one of the biggest. How does somebody on a team win something Like? I get gymnastics because they perform alone, but if he ain't on a basketball team, all of them get a gold medal.

Speaker 1:

But what you mean. He won. No, I'm saying this is the NBA. Oh, he won the NBA championship. Oh, okay, with his team. Okay, he won. Or he got the biggest contract in NBA history. After winning it, like he resigned his contract. It was like 400, 300 million or something like that.

Speaker 1:

No, he was dating LMA the singer, last title that I knew, I'm sorry she not. And he got like the NBA 2K game cover, sports Illustrated cover yeah, look him up. So you just hearing all of this you're like, oh, my man is nice at basketball, right, not really, but once again it's the Olympics, so it don't matter what team you play for in the NBA, they just get all the best players. Yeah, that's it Not my type. Okay, because he likes getting. No, just not my type. Oh, okay, but they got LeBron on there, they got KD on there, they got Drew Holiday. The team is just stacked. Drew Holiday, that's a name I know.

Speaker 1:

And so the first game of I think it was the first Serbia, mm-hmm, I was laughing way too hard at this. But I saw this meme. It said it just showed a picture of him in his Olympic warm-up, and then it was a text thread and it just put a picture of that. And then it said what that mean. And then it said whenever I send this, it mean I'm not playing because my man literally got zero minutes of play time.

Speaker 2:

Jason In the first game In the Olympics.

Speaker 1:

But he's nice, like that was the thing, like why did he not they won, they won. So it's not like once again you got the greatest NBA player.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1:

But he didn't play one minute and I figured I was like I laughed too hard at that. But that shit was funny, because how do you got him on your team and he don't play.

Speaker 2:

He didn't play at all.

Speaker 1:

One minute, one minute, but once again I get it, because you got Kevin Durant, you got LeBron James.

Speaker 2:

You got all these others, so the Olympics takes them from different teams. Yeah, so these people don't even play together.

Speaker 1:

No, but that's what I'm saying. And you know what's crazy. You don't know who he is, but Derek White plays on the Celtics with Jason Taylor. He got more playing time than them, is he not good?

Speaker 2:

He's okay, he's decent. Oh, he look whack. Sorry, my bad, my bad. He don't look like he know how to play basketball he don't, he funny looking but, he got more playing time than Jason Taylor.

Speaker 1:

Everybody's just like how did that happen? But it's like it's the Olympics. You never know what's gonna happen with these, with these players.

Speaker 2:

I feel like basketball players be really ugly, though like it just it's almost like a requirement that you're not attractive.

Speaker 1:

I feel like athletes period, but that's not where you need to shine. You do no, I mean when it comes to endorsements and shit. For sure, but camera and makeup can all help with that.

Speaker 2:

Can it? Yes, because what's that one dude's name? White dude, I think he. That one dude's name, white dude. I think he played football. Tom Brady, it might be Him and his brothers play football?

Speaker 1:

Oh, jason Travis Kelsey, maybe, no, his brothers. His brother played, he just retired.

Speaker 2:

I think it's like two brothers and they was all homeschooled.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that I don't know. Oh, maybe the Bosa brothers, I don't know. Latina, you don't know.

Speaker 2:

So you're going to have me guessing all day, I don't.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to say all the siblings do not know.

Speaker 2:

You could have said it already Right. Homeschooled, yeah, I. You could have said it already Right.

Speaker 1:

Homeschooled yeah.

Speaker 2:

I need to light this up because you pissed me off today. Football players, not NFL players, come on back. No, straight back, straight back.

Speaker 3:

Keep going.

Speaker 2:

Tim Tebow Straight bet Tim Tebow the.

Speaker 1:

Tebows. Tim Tebow's brother didn't play in the NFL. I don't even know if he has a brother. He was homeschooled.

Speaker 2:

Tim Tebow. I think I might be making it up that he got a brother, because it is this person. Yeah, he was homeschooled yeah, for sure now, what was my point with that? I don't even remember. I think I was going to say he was ugly, but he's gay was that my point? He's not ugly though but I feel like I seen him in an interview and he was not cute was it right after a game, I don't know. It was like a good morning America interview maybe I was tired.

Speaker 1:

I'm not about to keep this conversation with you because you you pissing me off. But to wrap this up, it us has the most medals, like between gold, silver and bronze, but they japan has the most gold right now okay so we go, we're gonna tune in to see I want to is uh, is uh figure skating?

Speaker 2:

that's winter, that's Winter Olympics, or that's right now.

Speaker 1:

I believe it's winter, or they might do it in both, because it's an arena.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because it's. Yeah, it's an arena. Hockey is an Olympic sport. I don't think so.

Speaker 1:

I didn't think so either. Speed skating is like speed ice skating Okay, I can get with that. You know what's crazy. I saw this one thing. So, okay, I can get with that. You know what's crazy? I saw this one thing. So they got a 1,500-meter. This is the last thing I promise, but they got a 1,500-meter. This was the last Olympics in 2020. Or no, it might have been the Youth Olympics.

Speaker 1:

But usually in the 1,500, they start off slow to pace themselves because it's a lot of laps, and so they'll usually just be in a big pack while they're going around. One girl she was just like I'm going to try a strategy. She came out the gate, she just gunning, went around the first lap, second lap, but she lapped everybody and then just went to the back of the pack and was floating with them. So then by the end of the race, when everybody started going fast, she was one lap ahead of them and she just stopped Right. I was like was like yo, that was the best strategy I've ever seen. And nobody even noted. Like they was all looking at her, like nobody chased after her, nobody. Like the pack was going and you just see her.

Speaker 2:

I was like damn there was uh, I think this was middle school track team that I seen on tiktok. A little girl was running, lost her shoe, went back for the shoe and still won.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was so happy for her Black excellence, you better believe it. Did you ever see that one football play? It was like middle school or something. Football they uh, because you know you got to hike it to the quarterback. Okay, but the center.

Speaker 2:

If you say so.

Speaker 1:

The center hiked it and then they acted like the play was dead or something. Oh, and he just walked through it and then our defense was looking like what does he doing? And then he started checking up. It's going to touch out. I was like the strategies, these sick plays, we get them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'll be seeing a little stuff and I don't know what's going on, but I'm pretty sure that was smooth.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was, it was, it was, but all in all.

Speaker 2:

I am going to check it out because I've been hearing a lot about it. I ain't never watched the Olympics. Why is football not in the Olympics? Why is basketball in it and football is not? Is it because football about to start right away?

Speaker 1:

It could be that or injuries and stuff. It's a lot of money in football. The NFL is a lot of money.

Speaker 2:

I don't think it should be but okay.

Speaker 1:

That's a topic for a different day.

Speaker 2:

I wish they would make a show like the Game for basketball they did. Oh Wish come true.

Speaker 1:

Kind of LeBron produced it. It's called Survivor's Remorse.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you seen that. Yeah, I didn't watch it, but yeah, I know it was actually pretty good. I saw some of it. No, I want something like the Game, like I get that, yeah, I get that. Yeah, I get that. It's like yeah, but no, it was pretty good.

Speaker 1:

The Game is my shit.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, so that's what's going on in the 100s. You know, wendy Raquel Robinson, the one who played Tasha Mack, just turned 60. Did she, and she looked like she just turned 35. 30,? Yeah, she looks very good for her age. She looks amazing. Just turned 60. Did she, and she looked like she just turned 35.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, she looks very good for her age. She looks amazing Black excellence.

Speaker 2:

That's another shirt, black excellence. I'm pretty sure it's out there, but it ain't got my face on it, oh my God.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God, and that's going to sell out too. I'm going to be seeing people.

Speaker 3:

Fucking fishing.

Speaker 2:

That'll be that face on the back.

Speaker 3:

Black excellence.

Speaker 1:

I love it, I love it, all right, all right, that's enough sports talk for you.

Speaker 2:

Okay, here we go Should you smoke? Well, you know it could keep you from getting a job.

Speaker 1:

Should you you want to give your opinion, or you want me to give mine? I mean y'all don't know.

Speaker 2:

Y'all don't know what our opinions are. Oh, you think no For sure you should not be smoking if it's going to keep you from getting a job. Okay, I know that there's stuff out there like monkey piss and pills and stuff like detox pills and stuff that you can take, but they starting to catch on to that.

Speaker 1:

This is what I'm going to say, if you would have asked me this question five to ten years ago, I may have agreed with you, may have, but now, when it's federally legalized, yeah, I don't get why they're still able to even but more than that. It's federally legalized because it is a medicine.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Like not everybody is. Regardless of that, it's legal. I agree.

Speaker 1:

I don't understand why they're still able to do that, say I do gotta take a piss test, I could drink a bunch of beers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, to cover that up.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no. I'm saying I could just drink a bunch of beers to get myself to pee, Like if I didn't have to pee, and I drank, like just drank a bunch of beer before I went to take it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because alcohol will make you pee.

Speaker 1:

That wouldn't matter, yeah, but if I go in there high and I mean being drunk, is way more dangerous than being high While functioning.

Speaker 2:

I think they're equal Hell. No, depending on the, I'll say depending on the person.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, depending on the person. For sure, for sure.

Speaker 1:

There'll be some people who just can't function. But my thing is why is it, like you said, why are you not treated as the same? They're both legal, they're both free time activities, right?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because there are a lot of people who don't smoke before work. There are a lot of people who don't smoke during the week. There are a lot of people who don't smoke or who will only smoke once a month. So I definitely agree with that. But because that is the way that it is, I do think people should be a little more conscious of, like, really, are you smoking so much? Like, if, like, if I apply for a job and I know, like, I know, that it takes at least a month for them to get back to me on whether they going to give me an interview and all that stuff, right? So if I apply to me, just stop smoking until you get the interview. You gotta do the test.

Speaker 1:

But that's what I'm saying. That's a long time, especially for somebody that uses it for anxiety, uses it for depression, uses it like that's a long time to go. And even like edibles and things like that. I'm not even saying smoking, Just any THC Is and things like that.

Speaker 2:

I'm not even saying smoking just any THC? Is that detected? Yeah, I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and that's why it's a problem for me.

Speaker 2:

You can't present a medical card. Yeah, at a test.

Speaker 1:

For sure, but that don't make a difference.

Speaker 2:

Then what's the point of being able to present the card? I mean, that wasn't the question, because if we're talking about that, we're on the same page. I don't care what the substance is. Why am I being tested for something that is I'm allowed to be doing exactly now? For for probation and stuff like that? For sure that's different, but for a job just like because for a job just like.

Speaker 1:

Because you're trying to control what I do outside of this establishment.

Speaker 2:

When I went to, when I lived in Vegas, they cut some of my hair out to test, which. I feel like that should be illegal. You don't know what people's religion is with their hair, you don't know what people's connection is with their hair and you just feeling free.

Speaker 1:

Even with this, say we was hotboxing, and I'm pretty sure, yeah, we hotbox.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And you're not smoking.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But that's going to be in your head.

Speaker 2:

Right, right, right, and that's what I'm saying. Like I be around smokers, but everybody who knows me know I don't smoke. So if you cutting my hair out and you like, well, there was weed detected in it. Of course it is. Everybody walking down the street is smoking. What you mean, like I don't. I definitely don't agree with piss test being or being drug tested is. I don't think it's necessary, not at all. If only time it should be necessary is if I fucked up majorly. Right, if I knock down an entire shelf of product in a warehouse, yeah, test me homie. Because what the fuck and I agree with that, because how I'm knocking down an entire in a warehouse, not like at a store, in a warehouse this is up there Like this is stories high how did I knock a whole shelf of anything down?

Speaker 1:

But that's what I'm saying At that point, before I even fuck up or do anything wrong.

Speaker 2:

You telling me.

Speaker 1:

I'm guilty of something. You're trying to control what I do outside Right, and at that point that's just not the job for me, right For sure. And I, because not every job is drug testing Right.

Speaker 2:

Because my thing is like I said. I know people who will smoke a blunt once a day after work, after they've gotten their day done, Like it's just literally for me to relax after I've done everything that I'm supposed to do for the day. You telling me that you don't believe that by the time I wake up I'm not gonna be sober enough to do my job, because I did it yesterday. So I'm not sure what I'm getting tested for, but with it being a thing, unfortunately, yes, I do think people should stop smoking if they know they're going after a job that they really want?

Speaker 2:

Hell no.

Speaker 1:

If it's a job that you really want and they're asking that of you, I'm telling you it's not a job you really want, because there's another job out there that you really want and you're not going to and that could even be pushing you out of your comfort zone.

Speaker 2:

I'm telling you no, it's crazy because Darnell has been getting tested a lot for job interviews and I'm like, is every job doing this? Now, I don't know, it's kind of ridiculous For sure, like's kind of ridiculous For sure, like it's absolutely ridiculous how much it's being done.

Speaker 1:

But even like you said, like the mouth swab test and where they keep that thing in your mouth for like two minutes or whatever, I don't know nothing about that. Yeah, but there's ways to get like that. Like I could smoke that more and put peroxide in gargle with that. Yeah, like you're not stopping shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, for sure, with the mouth thing I can definitely cover that up For sure.

Speaker 1:

Brush my teeth yeah, easily, but my thing is you're not gonna stop me?

Speaker 2:

Do you think it's racial?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because I do too too, because I feel like there's no way you think, because not everybody in jail that's in there for weed is out, even though it's legal but my thing is they think that black people and some Hispanics are dumb enough to show up to a job interview or a job pee test, smoke a blunt and go in like, yeah, yeah, you can't be seriously thinking that, though they do, but more white people are doing it than anything. So I, like that will be. That will be my argument to the day I die. Yeah, we're doing it, but there are way more white people doing it than anything, because they know that they might get away with it before we do. Oh, white privilege. Man, sorry, I saw the most white privilege thing I've ever seen in my life today.

Speaker 2:

I went to Walmart, hit me with it. I went to Walmart and this lady couldn't get in the door for whatever reason. They really don't want you walking out the exit, so it don't work for. Couldn't get in the door for whatever reason. They really don't want you walking out the exit, so it don't work for you to get in. And she really just stood there like you gonna open up for me. No, it's not lady. No, it's not like for how long?

Speaker 2:

I was still walking up to the door, she's still there, right, she has not shopped yet. I don't know. I don't even know what she went for. Like at this point, go to Walgreens, lady, because what is going on, yeah, like that's wild and my brain went the privilege is real.

Speaker 1:

It's going to take you three steps to walk.

Speaker 2:

It literally was they're right next to each other. I mean, that is white privilege that you think that this door should open up for you yeah, don't do that maybe she really is. No, no, she was young enough to realize that maybe she was cause if she was older. I'd have been like, okay, she's just old, nah, nah, you was old, you was young enough to know that lady just scooped down. Then she's going to look at me like, oh, the door will open for you, yes, because I'm going through the right one.

Speaker 1:

What do you mean? That's what I'm saying. Maybe she wasn't really paying attention to the sign.

Speaker 2:

Well, it didn't say exit on it, right, so see.

Speaker 1:

That make a difference.

Speaker 2:

No, I got one time to run into a door to realize this door ain't opening. Why does she have to walk into it six times and then for me to walk through the other door, for her to be like oh okay, my privilege isn't working today?

Speaker 1:

It could have been anything, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I don't know she didn't want to get in there, that bad it was. That Could have been that too. It was just that Can't do it. I do think it's racist, racially. I had three strokes today, got a contact. It is racially is. I'm saying that right, racially motivated? Is I'm saying that, right, it's another shirt, everything's a shirt. I'm saying that, right, it was definitely racially. It's definitely racially motivated. I think so. Somebody going to think I edited to sound this crazy. You're like why you chop it like that.

Speaker 2:

We didn't. You just don't know how to talk, but we going to be all right.

Speaker 1:

y'all we going to be all right.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I mean, I know people who do be like okay, let me just stop smoking, I got this job coming up and I'm like, damn, they got you.

Speaker 1:

Huh. I'm like you really fell for the trap, huh. Oh no, not the trap, Because there's so much to do in this world where that won't even affect it?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because I do agree that, if I come into a warehouse drunk, I'm more likely to make a mistake than if I come in high. For sure, and I don't smoke, so I really wouldn't know on me personally. But I do feel like on being high I might just move slow, which could be a problem for the company. We've got to get stuff out. But if I come in there drunk I'm fired.

Speaker 1:

I'm fired. They're going to know?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're going to know I'm happy as hell to be at work.

Speaker 1:

Give me some drops and I promise I can be like you would. Bro, stop it.

Speaker 2:

And I know this wasn't the question, but yes, we should be allowed to listen to music our own personal music at work. Stop making us be bored in these warehouses. That is just my little needed to be out there.

Speaker 1:

Hey, we got some rants sometimes Go off, go off, but we're going to be all right, y'all.

Speaker 2:

Unfortunately, we don't agree.

Speaker 1:

That's okay, we can agree to disagree.

Speaker 2:

But I think we agree on whether it should be happening anyway or not. It definitely shouldn't be happening. Yeah, yeah. Do you think jail is easy?

Speaker 1:

No, all right, wait, wait wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Because I saw this clip of Mike Tyson and he was saying Spill the tea. He was, Bro. Mike Tyson is a smart ass man. I feel like he is. He's a smart ass man.

Speaker 1:

He had a weird voice, but but he was saying jail is easy. Like they tell you when to wake up, they tell you what to eat, they tell you when you can go out. Like they tell you when to wake up, they tell you what to eat, they tell you when you can go out. Like somebody's telling you that you don't even have to think for yourself, being out in this free world and having to deal with yourself and compose yourself and act certain ways because there is so much different things out here.

Speaker 2:

Too many options can make life hard.

Speaker 1:

And like not saying that it's easy by no like cause, especially if you're older and you've lived life, and then you got to go like that's hard Cause. Now you do, got somebody telling you what you can do when you can do, and so I get that. But in comparison I did agree and that was the first time that I ever heard it like that. Yeah, I was like I do agree.

Speaker 2:

Because Gypsy Rose said the best day of her life was when she the first day she went to jail. Because I I can believe it because of her, her situation, yeah, she was in jail, but she felt free, like I'm not having to pretend, I'm not having to be restricted. Yes, there's people telling me what do, but they're not telling me what to do to harm me, like, or in her mind, because it was her first day. You know, you got to give her some slack, but I get what I was receiving. You're going to get some physical abuse in jail, right, right?

Speaker 1:

The way that fucked her up.

Speaker 2:

We're going to have to talk about that.

Speaker 1:

Hell yeah, but yeah, when he said that, I was like damn, that's real.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, when you said Somebody just took a shower, I don't smell it. You don't smell soap, I smell soap. No, I do.

Speaker 1:

No, I do. Yeah, I smell it.

Speaker 2:

You smell good. When you say it like that, I get it, because my husband's my husband's.

Speaker 1:

You got so thrown off. I was not expecting that I love it. Go ahead, girl, you got it.

Speaker 2:

My husband's brother has been in and out of prison since he was 14. And to most people it'd be like man he just can't get his shit together. But when he's out he is pretty productive, but he quickly falls, because it's like, yeah, I'm being productive, but you quickly fall back into okay, what do I do now? And you're looking for someone to tell you what to do now. You don't have that out here, because no one's going to tell you what to do now, and I know that some people think that that's a bad thing. But if it keeps you healthy, it keeps your belly full, it keeps a roof over your head. If that's what you feel like you need for you, I'm not all for it, but I'm all for it.

Speaker 1:

But for black people, hell, no, yeah, because it's still weird yeah. We need to do better. This system will literally fucking kill you, yeah, and not care, not give a fuck about the family that you do have out here and the people that love you.

Speaker 2:

But that's why I think it's Germany. Germany's prison is more like a college campus. I heard that and I can appreciate that. They have keys to their cells, they have, they live in like they are here. The punishment is that you can't be around the ones you love, you can't go to the job you would prefer, like there are punishments within that jail system, but we're not going to tell you what to do, because when you get out of here, nobody's going to be there to tell you what to do but in New Zealand it's kind of like that too and I can appreciate that, because why have someone believe that when I leave here, there will also be someone to tell me what to do?

Speaker 2:

There won't be Right.

Speaker 1:

I mean, but it's not for that, Right, they're really just trying to punish you and have power over you, right, right, because it makes no sense, because I feel like no prisons actually outside of America have guards just telling you what to do.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, of America have guards just telling you what to do yeah, when I sit back and think about it. Even in Asia they have some of the worst prisons. I think it's Asia Don't quote me but I do think it's Asia North.

Speaker 1:

Korea, I think.

Speaker 2:

That's in Asia. Yeah, I think it is Asian prisons that are some of the worst, where the inmates are running the prison, but even still, when them people get out of prison, they not looking for nobody to tell them what to do, because that's not what they was going through. They were interacting with their society. It could be Mexico, I don't know. Don't quote me, I'm not. I do think it's Asia, though. Yeah, I think it's. The continent of Asia has some of the worst prisons in the world. I could be wrong.

Speaker 1:

I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I don't want to know. That's one of my biggest fears to be in another country and get arrested. Oh yeah, hell yeah, and I wouldn't know what to do. I might claim that I did the crime just to get away, and then that'll end up landing me in jail because I'm so stupid that I didn't realize that it was the worst crime than I thought it was.

Speaker 1:

Like don't lock me up, but especially in places like Dubai. Even smoking weed in Dubai is illegal, I believe. Don't quote me, but you can get locked up like 10, 15 years. It'd be crazy In a different country, but don't even. Have you ever seen that?

Speaker 2:

show Locked Up Abroad, no, so basically most of the stories be about drug smuggling Okay. Where somebody in a country will get approached to smuggle some drugs and offered so much money and a little vacation.

Speaker 1:

Okay, right To be a mule or something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and then they'll go to another country and then they end up getting caught. Everybody got caught Right. Spoiler alert. They don't do this shit Right and it just is crazy, like some of the prison experiences that these people had. Like I remember one dude ended up meeting his wife in the prison. What right? Why? Why? Why y'all gonna have kids, why I think they did stop it.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if they did in the prison or if they did afterwards, because he did get out. He did like seven years or something. That's crazy. And it's like seven years for just taking some drugs out of the country, like to me that seems stupid. That's stupid. That seems like a lot. Like seven years, not a year.

Speaker 2:

Just I'm not doing the drugs, I was just taking them and I paid for them. It's not like I stole them, I did pay for them. Now, if we adding on that I stole them, then maybe, yes, seven years makes sense. I didn't steal them, but I didn't steal them, I paid for them. Adding on that I stole them, then maybe, yes, seven years makes sense. I didn't steal them, but I didn't steal them, I paid for them. I just wanted to go give them to somebody else. I'm not sure why I got seven years for this.

Speaker 2:

Like drug charges be the wildest, they be the absolute wildest, like. That's another reason why y'all should just stop, cause it don't even make sense. Like the drug charges is wild. Didn't a lady here get like half her life for just transporting drugs? She didn't, or not even drugs. The money she had, the money from the drugs. She didn't even see the drugs. She didn't. She don't even know for real that this money came from drugs. That's just what they told her, and she ended up getting like 15 years for just transporting some money.

Speaker 1:

Now I can't even move money shit drug charges is wild like, but you know it would be crazy. To me this is It'd just be wild, but it's really like Grand Theft Auto.

Speaker 2:

Beginning like six months. You stole a whole car. Let's break this down. Hold on, let's break this down. Somebody who stole a car has taken somebody Like all the labor that it took in to make that car, the labor that it took to sell that car, the labor that it took somebody to work to buy that car. That's a lot of damage you doing and it's legal and it'd be like six months that somebody will get for grand theft.

Speaker 1:

Auto Drugs was grown from the ground this somebody went and bought some to take to somebody else and they lost their whole life when I be thinking about stuff like that, I like this world, like it's so fake to me, like this is not a real, this can't be a real thing but be what be even more.

Speaker 2:

the government is sitting at home smoking this shit Like y'all doing all these drugs that you locking people up for.

Speaker 1:

We are really living through this shit and the human experience is wild as fuck. It's not one to one. And when Mike Tyson said it like that, yeah for sure, that's what it made me-one. And when Mike Tyson said it like that, that's what it made me think like you're right, Because there's so many times I have to do something that I hate within my core.

Speaker 2:

There's some times where I just want to fuck somebody up in a place where I know that I can't fuck this person up Right, because somebody pissed me off in London and I was, like you, lucky we're not in my home country.

Speaker 1:

And I was like he's right, this shit is not easy.

Speaker 2:

And I'm sure London prisons ain't even that bad. They're probably not even that different from an American prison. But you're not taking me to prison.

Speaker 1:

Stop and go ahead.

Speaker 2:

I used to date this guy. We made the same face.

Speaker 1:

I gotta stop hanging out with you.

Speaker 2:

I used to date. This guy and his aunt got, went to prison. She got time for I think she got like two or three years for transporting money, drug money, and she just be like. She used to tell me the stories of her time in federal prison and she said it's a joke. And the thing is, I believe her more than anything because wasn't Orange is the New Black based on a federal prison? Yes, and that shit was a joke.

Speaker 1:

The lady wrote the story. It was real, right, I don't know. I thought it was real, that's wild as fuck.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I thought it was real. That's crazy as hell. If that was a real story.

Speaker 1:

I thought it was that lady's experience, that's crazy.

Speaker 2:

She wrote a book about it. That's crazy. If that is her real story, kudos to you.

Speaker 1:

Don't quote me, but I do believe that yeah, I believe it.

Speaker 2:

Everything's based off something. It might have been loosely based, but either way. But she would just say, like people's in there getting pregnant, fucking out of the guards and stuff, and it's like if federal, which is supposed to be top gun prison, is a joke. But it is female also, I mean, yeah, she was in a female prison.

Speaker 2:

But it's still wild to me. Yeah, like I would never be. Like, I mean, I guess, knowing that if I ever did commit a crime and it was like you, going to what other prisons is there? Because you got federal, county prison, county prison or county jail, both Okay. So if you're saying I'm going to county prison, please take me to federal, just put me in federal. Just do Please, I'll do anything, I'll suck your dick. Please give me federal prison, because I heard that it's easier.

Speaker 1:

Okay, you're going to go in there and get shanked your first day.

Speaker 2:

Nah, I think people would really gravitate, they would and I would hate it.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to come visit you. Gravitate they would, and I would hate it. I'm going to come visit you.

Speaker 2:

You're going to have hella stories, hella stories. I'll be on the phone all day. I'll be like nigga. You're supposed to be doing time.

Speaker 1:

Hey, this girl paid for my minutes so I don't know what to tell you. I believe it.

Speaker 2:

And then me being into women aw.

Speaker 1:

She ain't got to threaten me, girl, and that's what I was saying.

Speaker 3:

I'll give it to her.

Speaker 1:

You're bound to find more. And how did you get pregnant, guards I?

Speaker 2:

know that, but but yeah, how you let that happen, hey, if it get me out, let's do it, does it. I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

She didn't in Oranges, in the New Black, I don't think it does.

Speaker 2:

I mean it gets you some time out to have the baby. But that's my plan to escape. You ain't taking me back.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know your plan.

Speaker 2:

Don't be trying to steal my plan. I ain't going to prison. I ain't got no plan. You never know. I ain't going to prison, I ain't going to prison.

Speaker 1:

I ain't going to prison. And sometimes, especially the older I get and like that lady at the door, the more I deal with people like that Lady at the door. When you went to the store, she was just standing there oh yeah, walmart yo you.

Speaker 1:

I said lady at the door that's the title of something hey, there's a song right, but the more that I deal with people like that, I just be like because I wanted to yell at her like my fuse gets shorter and shorter, but I'm learning how to deal with it and but I'm like that's hard. No, I want to smack her because what you doing, but keeping your composure, knowing that you can't I gave her the look and that's all you can do and man and the worker in there laughing at me.

Speaker 2:

don't laugh at me me. Help the lady, but like you didn't even have to deal with her.

Speaker 1:

You were just walking by herself.

Speaker 2:

Right right, Dealing with a person like that. From my car. I saw her and I wasn't that close, so my thing, is lady you're standing here all this time and nothing in your brain says move.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's ridiculous, that's ridiculous. Yeah, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2:

That's ridiculous. Yeah, I'm not going to prison. I couldn't do it. I don't care how easy it is, it could really. I do agree that I like if somebody out here was telling me when to do stuff my life would be a lot easier.

Speaker 1:

You think so.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, ok, yeah, because as kids, we were told what to do and we didn't realize it as kids that that was the best time of our lives, Like shit was the easiest it could ever be.

Speaker 1:

Just wake it up. Yeah, just do what you're told you don't have to, but you got to, or these lights ain't gonna be paid Like I feel it. I feel it.

Speaker 2:

Because, sincerely, if don't nobody tell me to do stuff for real and I'm talking about me if I don't tell me to do stuff, it ain't going to get done. Right, I got sticky notes all over the place, so you don't listen to other people. I don't listen to myself. Why would I listen to other people?

Speaker 1:

So you wouldn't listen to the guards.

Speaker 2:

I wouldn't, hey George, tell the wife I said what up and quit talking to me like that. I would be in solitude my entire sentence because you can't tell me what to do. That is really why I'm not going to go to prison. I don't eat bologna.

Speaker 1:

I don't think they're really serving that.

Speaker 2:

I mean when I went to jail they wasn't serving that. When I went to jail, they served me bologna. I don't think they're really serving that.

Speaker 1:

I mean when I went to jail they wasn't serving. When I went to jail, they served me bologna, a bologna sandwich. In the holding cell they gave you a sack lunch.

Speaker 2:

No, I was upstairs because I lied and said that I was waiting for a covid test to come back. So they had me isolated. So I was in a real cell. Oh, that's still it do it was. It was really scary. I was in a bunk, like it was. At least you were by yourself. I was happy to be by myself, but there was you wasn't in jail.

Speaker 1:

The girl was in your room.

Speaker 2:

I wish that's what it felt like. You couldn't go nowhere. Then there was a window in there with a bright light shining the entire night. I'm just like. Y'all don't want to give me a blanket. I can't complain about this light, Not at all. Y'all don't even want to give me a blanket. It was freezing.

Speaker 1:

I was in there for the worst time. It sucks that my birthday is close to the 4th of July, because I was in there for both of those. I was hearing fireworks and shit going on from the window.

Speaker 2:

Do you know how much I would have cried Like I don't even care about the 4th of July.

Speaker 1:

I was like fuck this shit, man.

Speaker 2:

So I told them that I was waiting for a COVID test to come back, and then they asked me something about if I was taking any medications. And I was, because I had an ear infection. The ear infection was gone, but I was still taking the medication, so they ended up getting them. They brought them to me and said there was a drinking fountain in my room. And I'm like, where I don't see this drinking fountain, what are you talking about? I didn't see it. I mean, it was on the toilet.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the sink part yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm like, how do you use this? The lady is like, please don't ever come back here, I don't ever want to see you again. And I was like I don't ever want to see you again. How do you do this? She was like this your first time. That? Why do you do this? She was like this your first time. That was the first thing. She asked me Was this my first time in jail? And I said yes, where's the drinking fountain? And she was like what you mean? It's right there. And I said, please, this is a toilet lady.

Speaker 2:

What you talking about.

Speaker 1:

The button she pointing at to me is to flush the toilet. You're in front of your roommates and everything right there.

Speaker 2:

Couldn't do it. Yeah, couldn't do it, and especially if I got somebody who shits every time they eat Bitch. Control yourself, because what is going? On you funny. She said I never want to see you again, and I was like likewise lady. You got it. You gotta deal with it Gypsy, you crazy, don't man. I could go. We could do like a whole season of episodes on Gypsy Rose. Hell the fuck. Yeah, she said, you got a deal. You don't talk to your mom like that, you're gonna make me die out here.

Speaker 2:

You got a deal, lady. And then her voice, high as hell, wait, wait. So we went on a hike and this lady walked past us and she said, hi, but her voice was so high and I was like, damn, her voice is high. And the person I was with was like, yeah, stuart Little. I was like what where did you pull that from, I mean? That was quick as hell, cause I was not thinking Stuart Little, cause really is his voice high no, that's what I'm saying where did you get that?

Speaker 2:

I think it's Stuart Little, because really is his voice high. No, that's what I'm saying. Where did you get that? And he was dead ass, serious. Oh shit, man, man, I hate the world we live in. It's crazy.

Speaker 1:

No, but I will say, being in jail I was more productive than I've ever been. Like I said, I was reading books, I was writing a lot like planning out a lot.

Speaker 2:

No, I asked her for a pencil and paper and I wrote the stupidest letter to her. Like you, piece. He heard my feelings that day.

Speaker 1:

I didn't eat nothing. That was the furthest thing from my mind, I didn't eat nothing.

Speaker 2:

That's wild. I was so like I'm not supposed to be here like this ain't my life and this was only a couple years ago.

Speaker 1:

I wish that I would have gotten arrested as a teenager, you would have yeah, because whatever I would have gotten- arrested as a teenager.

Speaker 2:

Wish you would have. Yeah, why? Because whatever I would have done to get arrested wouldn't have been that serious, oh yeah, and it would have really kept me like, okay, I'm never doing this again.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I feel it. I feel it. Ooh, yeah, that's Too much. So once again, I'm not Well, I don't know, saying it like that.

Speaker 2:

It kind of made me feel like it. I get it when people are like let me just go to jail. Yeah, especially like if you're homeless or if you are struggling in life. I do. I can see why somebody would want to stay in jail or get in jail. It's a hot meal every day. Three meals a day.

Speaker 1:

Three hots and a cock and, like I said, some of my black people. I really don't advise it because, lord knows what can happen when you get in there. Depending on where you're at too, it gets worse, but once again, I do get it. The mental is it got to be strong.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's ways to deal with it Because, Murderer, I ended up looking him up and the first time when I found out that he was in jail, in prison, he was in a certain prison and he got moved to a maximum and I sincerely because I don't think he's a bad person I sincerely think the experience he was having made him feel like he needed to toughen up and do stuff that he probably wouldn't have actually done and I don't wish that on him, yeah, and now he's worse off in a more maximum prison than he initially could have been in.

Speaker 1:

Especially like lifers, like you don't get to experience, don't you?

Speaker 2:

get the possibility of shortening your sentence when it's life, and it's like he could have had that, because I don't. I didn't go in depth with what he was sentenced with, but at this, point he's.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes they appeal it. It takes years.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but at this point he's at a life with no parole and it's like I don't wish that yeah. I wouldn't, because he's got a kid. He got pregnant.

Speaker 1:

We know.

Speaker 2:

So like I definitely would have never wanted that for him, right, right.

Speaker 1:

But like life, be life. But that's what I mean. Even just self-control is tough as fuck.

Speaker 2:

Is it wild that I want to visit him?

Speaker 1:

I mean, I don't know what your relationship was, but a little yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I know he would be like what the fuck Like? But I just want to talk to who wouldn't? I just want to talk to somebody who's in prison for murder you nosy. I am you nosy. Because it's not like I really care about you. You did this, so you nosy, but. But I just like I would lie my ass off Like.

Speaker 3:

I'm a journalist.

Speaker 2:

I ended up getting a job in journalism. I'm writing an article on prisoners who are struggling and your name came up. Tell me about your experience. What if he didn't remember me? That would be even more wild. Even more wild because, nigga, you threatened me.

Speaker 1:

Get another nigga and see what happened. You did too. Yeah, you got another nigga. I got a lot of nothing. Niggas Damn.

Speaker 3:

A lot of nothing, niggas, there's going to be so much clothes for this shit.

Speaker 2:

I got a lot of nothing, niggas.

Speaker 3:

A lot of nothing. Niggas, play with me if you want to.

Speaker 2:

I got a lot of nother niggas, right, okay.

Speaker 1:

In case you didn't know, now you do. Oh Life, really be life in my city.

Speaker 2:

Life is out here. I gotta go sit in the parking lot. Oop, the wheeze was out of control what are you talking about?

Speaker 1:

I don't like to sit at the house.

Speaker 2:

I go sit in this parking lot and sleep, or else I'm not gonna go get him, I feel it. Oh, so this works out for you then.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I go sit in his parking lot and sleep, or else I'm not going to go get him. I feel it I feel it, I feel it. Oh, so this works out for you then. Yeah, it gives you something to do.

Speaker 2:

I love it actually. It's really peaceful. I don't have to hear the boys doing Mm-hmm and I don't have to hear them living.

Speaker 1:

They're people too, Latina.

Speaker 2:

Are they? They're people too Latina are they? Do you feel like kids are people?

Speaker 1:

hell yeah, hell yeah that's what I was about to ask you that's gotta be a topic, you know.

Speaker 2:

Ask me what do I feel like they people?

Speaker 1:

no, do you see your kids, or any kids like, can you see? And then like damn they might end up in prison? Or do you ever think like that, like I them like damn they might end up in prison? Or do you ever think like that, like I hope my kids don't end up in prison? Or like kids around you cause that's real life possibility, like when Ricky came?

Speaker 2:

I mean I don't like to think that way, but there are some kids that I know of that I'm be like damn if your parents don't get you together.

Speaker 1:

They not gonna know who you are when Ricky home. That's when it hit me.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it never occurred to me that he could end up in prison Like.

Speaker 1:

I get that life was tough for him and that's like right there, that's right there.

Speaker 2:

I was like damn, that's like Kevin being in prison.

Speaker 1:

Like I just would be like what the fuck? But that's how I felt with Lil Larry too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like that shit Because Big Larry, he had came over and I didn't know he turned on the news. He was like, look at this shit. He just like he came over to the house because they had it on the news and everything he showed me. He was like this is why we have y'all in shit, this is why we keep y'all out of shit like this. I was just like damn.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and that's why I'm like with homeschooling. I feel like I'm doing the best for them because I, as a, as the parent that I am, I know that I'm a little too lenient. And if they were in school, they would have friends all the time. My kids, for sure, would always have people asking to hang out, can they do? And I would be like, yeah, and y'all could end up being the ones punished because you, my kids, are me, let's start there. They don't look like me, but they are me. Let's start there. They don't look like me, but they are me. They love hard, they protect hard, especially for people who are not related to them.

Speaker 1:

Why don't you say that blunt smacking?

Speaker 2:

I'm sure it is. It stinks.

Speaker 1:

That shit smacking.

Speaker 2:

So if they ever made friends with bad kids, they would feel like they need to take the fall for them. And I don't think that as a kid I thought that I would need to take the fall for somebody, but I think I would have, like just because of who I know and that I am, and I know that my kids are that way. So I know homeschooling is the best thing that I can do for them.

Speaker 1:

At least have a little bit more control over yeah yeah.

Speaker 2:

And it's like today A lot of parents just don't care what their kids are doing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I remember the very first time that I wanted to hang out with Eric outside of school. I had asked my mom and dad. He had asked his parents and they both said that they had to meet up. So they had came over to the house, they met each other and everything, and then we went to the mall. But I was like I haven't seen that happen in the longest time it's like who is this kid? Alright, I'm like that, that's it.

Speaker 2:

And because I don't like to meet people, I would skip that. I'm going to be completely honest. I would convince Alvin to do it and if he don't want to do it or don't have the time to do it, it just would be skipped.

Speaker 1:

I can fake it for five minutes to see who you are, how y'all living, because that's going to be so funny.

Speaker 2:

I would do something like go pick them up from school and then I would be like, well, where's this kid at? Is they parents here? And I would just look at the parents and if they look decent enough, okay, have fun.

Speaker 3:

They look like they living in the projects.

Speaker 2:

Come on, we going on. I'm sorry you not going over little Timmy's house. Stop it. I don't know why they named him Timmy when he should be Jamal nah, that's definitely something to think about, but I'm happy I know that about myself, though, because for real, william was getting not like bully-bullied, but there was this kid that was messing with him when they were in school, and I didn't find out until I just happened to be at the school one day. And the teacher never called me, never told me nothing.

Speaker 1:

He wasn't being too nice about it and shit.

Speaker 2:

Right, and he not saying nothing to me, and because I always felt like, okay, I don't want to cause a scene, I don't want to start no drama, I ask her like okay, well, why did nobody let me know that this was happening, right, and she tried to play it off. Like you know kids with new kids and I'm just like irritated enough to be like, okay, whatever.

Speaker 1:

So you mean, but then I went home and I'm like we're going to have that respectful conversation, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then I think I just know that I can get somewhere, that I don't want to be Gotcha.

Speaker 1:

That's what makes being out here dealing with those people hard as fuck.

Speaker 2:

Because if I was in prison and somebody was messing with me, would y'all tell me to go to my cell Right, Like I'm already in prison, yeah yeah. And I think the surroundings definitely does determine on how somebody will act about something Because, like like in Vegas, I don't know the laws out there. So I can't be as ignorant as I want to be, I ain't going to prison out here. I mean, it ain't another country, but it ain't Michigan. So I feel it.

Speaker 1:

I mean, we don't wish it on nobody.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the government definitely knows what they doing. For because that's even dumb to me that we're one country and yet the laws are completely different in every state, whereas in India, who has different states, the laws are all the same Because it's one country. All Asia is the same Because it's one continent. Like why we you would think in asia, this, no, I'm just, oh, in america yeah, this world don't be real to me sometimes it really like I'd be I'd be like, this is like, but I had a serious case of deja vu.

Speaker 1:

I'm about to go into another topic. We can talk about that another day. About this world, like going different places, traveling, because once again it is different out there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, don't experience different prisons.

Speaker 1:

But experience I mean, do you?

Speaker 2:

Do what you got to do. I mean, if prison life is your goal, do you Pick the one that works for you? I can't tell you nothing.

Speaker 1:

So, all in all, I'm going to say yeah.

Speaker 2:

You think it's easy. Yeah, I do, I do. I do Because, again, if I'm not telling me what to do, who's going to tell me? Who's going to tell me to get up, other than my iPhone's alarm and sometimes I don't hear that, which is wild as fuck. One day, I didn't hear my loud ass alarm and a tiny ass text went off and I heard that.

Speaker 1:

Wide awake. I don't know, life be life.

Speaker 2:

I was waiting on a text. I was waiting for somebody to text me.

Speaker 1:

I had to be, I had to been dreaming about it.

Speaker 2:

Text me, text me, text I had to be, I had to be, I had to be, I had to be, I had to be. Text me, text me, text me had to be. It was my boss Wasn't waiting for her to text me, but somebody text me It'd be like that.

Speaker 1:

Yo, that blunt is smacking.

Speaker 2:

I feel it in my throat.

Speaker 1:

Do you? It hurt a little bit, all right, but that shit I drugs don't work for me.

Speaker 2:

I get in pain Like I got a headache and I feel some pain in my throat. That's probably not helping. I've been drinking it. I've been drinking.

Speaker 1:

I've been drinking Fucker.

Speaker 3:

But yeah, it's smacking.

Speaker 1:

It's gone Hair is smacking. It's smacking, it's gone. But that wraps up another, another, another. It's smacking, it's smacking, it's going, but that wraps up another, another, another, another, another, another episode like DJ, episode eight in the bag, y'all still been rocking with us.
