I'm trying to look up and see when the last time you was on his mother for her hold on how , what ?
Speaker 2how old are you ?
Speaker 1I'm 34 now .
Speaker 2So right before your 30th birthday .
Speaker 1Fuck , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , that's right .
Speaker 2Damn Good time it's been .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's been a minute , but I got . The homie friend has come back To the podcast to fuck with a nigga , so what's ?
Speaker 2going on .
Speaker 1You tell me you busy motherfucker you out here trying to become an Elise Keaton and shit , you know what , fuck you Okay . But no , like it's . It's not a everyday occurrence , um , where I get somebody that's Trying to get into law school .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1Yeah , so that's crazy .
Speaker 2Yeah , I actually take the LSAT next Saturday . So I take the LSAT next Saturday .
Speaker 1I stand one up for you .
Speaker 2Please do . Um , this test is dumb . Um , every everything about law school and trying to get in . It's all a fucking haze . It's all a haze , it's all . Who can last the longest , who can spend the most money ? Who can take these tests ? Who can do whatever ? This particular process is completely designed to keep Marginalized individuals out of this process . It is a disaster . It's a fucking nightmare , like I see why I . Only Five percent of lawyers , according to the American bar associations , are African Americans . Only it's only five percent . Did you know that ?
Speaker 1according to the American bar .
Speaker 2It's only five percent are African-American that are lawyers . That's it . That's it . It's only a small . I think it actually dropped to four percent . So I really try to make sure that , like I , if those who are Black and brown who want to go to law school , um , it is a marathon , it's not a sprint , it's dumb and it's it's all unnecessary . But , yeah , I take the LSAT next Saturday and then we are going to apply . Oh , can you hear me ? There we go , yeah you good , you're good .
Speaker 1You said you're gonna take it next Saturday . You're gonna apply .
Speaker 2Yep , I my . I put my application in before , uh , thanksgiving , so that's the thing to try to be considered for early admissions . So okay .
Speaker 1Nice so what , we ain't gonna put professions and shit out there , but , um , this'll put it for you , right ?
Speaker 2So kind of sorter , but it's , it's it's always been a lifelong goal , like I've always wanted to be a lawyer . And I was just like I mean , like I literally came probably right Right before the pandemic kind of jumped off . I was tossing around the idea , yeah , and I was talking to my therapist and I was like you know , I've really been thinking about going back to law school , like I was something I've always wanted to do . I've always wanted to be a lawyer , like I've done . I . I went to undergrad , I got the masters , I started a bit like I've done everything and I'm like I really just want to focus on the shit that I really wanted to do and I really want to go back to law school . I really want to go to law school .
Speaker 2But , I have was like I don't know , I'm about to be 40 . You know I'm da , da , da da . And my therapist was like she said well , you can be 40 or 43 when you're finished , you know , whatever Um , and be a lawyer , or you can be 40 or whatever age and regret it and still think about it . And I was like I'm gonna need you to lower your tone when you're speaking to me . Uh , I said we .
Speaker 1So then , um , I actually took the .
Speaker 2LSAT February 2021 , 2021 , completely bombed it , completely bombed it . The whole entire process wore me out so bad that I completely shelved my whole entire law school admissions process , like I was over it . I'm like I'm never doing this again . And so , top of 2023 , I was like all right , let me really figure it out . And so the LSAT is one of those tests where you just like To get a good score , you need to be studying six to eight months , like you can't just wing this . It isn't one of those tests like it's a , it's a , it's a marathon . And that's where a lot of people don't know . They just jump right in . But no , it's something I've been wanting to do for a very long time and I was like Two tiers in a bucket , fucking I'm about to be 40 . Let me just do it . You know , no matter what , the time is still going to be there , no matter what it is , so just use the time how you want it .
Speaker 1So the time is still gonna pass . So facts , facts , and I'm like I'm kind of dealing with that shit too getting you know mid 30s next year or a couple months shit here and like Thinking about I don't I don't want to call it a midlife crisis because I'm not having a crisis but like More a realization of where you are in life .
Speaker 1There you go , realization about like you know what what family life looks like , because , like I am , you know in the little group that like , yeah , I would like to be married , I would like to have kids . You know the whole , the whole dream with that shit . Yeah , and also , like you know , I'm getting older . But also like realizing like , oh shit , my parents are getting older too .
Speaker 2So that's one of the most interesting things to happen that's one of the hardest things to deal with as you migrate out of your 30s If you're mid 30s , into your 40s is that you start seeing your parents age , and that is very , it's very uncomfortable , because these , these are your parents , these are , um , the , the pillars , the superman , the superwoman of your life , and now to see them In a , in a , in an elder , aging state , to where they're not , that space and it's , it's , it's very it can be disheartening .
Speaker 1Yeah , and so , like you know , my parents are like healthy and stuff like that , which is a blessing , and things like that
Reflections on Life, Health, and Adulting
Speaker 1. But like realizing that shit and I think it's also due to the pandemic , because it feels like , even though it's been three years , it does not one continuous fucking year or whatever , and so , like concept of time has been like Fucked up and then also think like kind of like you like looking back at it and be like , yeah , there's still shit that I want to do and I don't want to regret no , not doing that . You know , like you know , I want my parents to be around to see grandkids and stuff like that . So like , and then also August is just a tricky month for me . Yeah , general , you know , with the shit , with the shit that I've been through .
Speaker 2So like sure , you know , you know .
Speaker 1It's , it's , it's , it's , it's magnified , right now you know I'm saying and I think like once I get past , kind of like you know , the anniversary of certain stuff , then I'll be , I'll be cool or whatever . But yeah , it's just magnified times 10 because , like you know , mom going in for checkups , you good .
Speaker 2Yeah , no , you are right .
Speaker 1What did they say ?
Speaker 2Yeah , like you know , for real , and also having the hard conversation of okay , you're good , but will you be ? Where is your documents ? What ?
Speaker 1is this Like I've ?
Speaker 2unfortunately , I've had the , the unfortunate um responsibility of helping cleaning out , like my elders who've passed away their homes , and it was unexpectedly , and so we couldn't get into cell phone devices . We don't know where last wishes are . You know we , now we have to go through probate court to do things and you know , no , like no . What is the password to your phone ? Where is your bank account information ? What is your wishes ? Like , this needs to be in a folder somewhere . And we know , because you never want to talk about it , right , because people don't want to have the , the mortality conversations . It's more of it , it's fucked . You know what I mean , right ? And so people get in their body and , like I have an emergency , I have an emergency folder , I have a folder that has everything . It has my information date of birth , last name , blood type , front and back . You know images of my credit cards , everything , everything . Because you just never know , and I have designated people who know where this things are . So it's , it's , it's , it's very , um , it's very humanizing .
Speaker 1I'll say that yeah , it's uh , yeah it's a uh humanizing period right now .
Speaker 2for me , it hits you in the chest like a motherfucker Like facts , facts , facts .
Speaker 1and then you know , career wise , you know , I made a change , you know yeah , congratulations . Yeah , appreciate it , and so , like you know , I can now . I'll put it this way Okay . Um , I like , I like what I'm doing . Okay , I like what I'm doing . I'm not really looking forward to the tax bracket ramifications . No , that's not that's just up , bro . It was like you know , now it's gonna be an automatic 40% off the top hey .
Speaker 2I am .
Speaker 1I , I've , I've hit another threshold , and so it's a little different now , and like for sure , you know in tax you know go up and yeah , when taxies are rolling around . I'm not looking forward to that , because of that , but it's a blessing to be able to make what I'm making and even though inflation and all this shit is trash , eat it up , but yeah .
Speaker 1Um but yeah , like yeah , I'm in a period right now where , like you know , perspective and growing and changing and stuff like that , and yeah , you know , we really are the adults out here , or whatever , which is so weird because I am so immature , like are y'all like are you still ? I'm still , I'm still .
Speaker 1I'm still tidy , tidy , lefty Lucy , like what the fuck bro , I , when I I had to go into the office today to grab something and I , literally when I because we were hybrid and so like nobody was there and so like I'm unlocking the door I was like righty tidy .
Speaker 2It's still righty , tidy , lefty Lucy , I still have to call my mom . Be like mama . Now , what do I say to these people ? Now , what happened ? How am I the adult ? But I'd be so adult until it's time to pick out my health benefits . Now , what is this ? Yeah , how am I the ? How are we the adults in this , where and that is what's coming up with a niggin next .
Speaker 1I have to pick that out . Um , and as soon as I hit that , I had it . It's a 60 day period that they they got at my gig now . So , like soon as that 60 day is up , I'm scheduling everything .
Speaker 2I need everything , I need every type of of everything .
Speaker 1No I .
Speaker 2I enshoot like that's one of the things I have to watch . Like the last time I went to the doctor my blood pressure was up . I'm like , oh shit , like I have to watch those things . So yeah , get it checked . Get your heart , your body , your blood work everything Get all of that done Especially black men .
Speaker 2black men you know you gotta have a higher a higher mortality rate , unfortunately , you know , due to just life and trauma . And you know , you know it is a massive , massive stereotype of men don't go to the doctor . It's a massive stereotype . There's very few who do , but you know it's a consensus that men don't . So you know it's a lot of health issues . But I applaud , um , every black man that goes to the doctor , that goes those things , that goes , gets checked , that goes , gets tested , all of the things .
Speaker 1Yeah , I had to push my shit back because I'm like nigga , I ain't got coverage , right now .
Speaker 2So I'm not gonna come out of pocket out of there .
Speaker 1Because , yeah , I saw when it costs without coverage and when by insurance and my life get covered , I was like god damn , because I got , I get everything done every six months .
Speaker 2Six months .
Speaker 1Yeah , you know because you know , high blood pressure unfortunately runs in in my family , and so , um , yeah , I even had an issue with it . Was it , uh , the beginning of 2022 ? Um , yeah , where I had to be put on that shit , did you ? Oh , wow , had to be put on that shit . I don't think I ever talked about this on the podcast , but are you um ?
Speaker 2are you still on it Like a , like a very minimal , or are you completely off of ?
Speaker 1it . So I've been . I haven't . I've been offered for a while to see like if I got it under control , which is why this next appointment is like super niggas is talking about health . No , but like for real , like for real no , like I've been offered .
Speaker 2This is what a 35 year or 30 to 40 year conversation has to look like . So I hope that you're healthy , but yeah , please , you know , sending up all positive vibes and healthiness to your space with that , because it's not that high blood pressure as a silent killer , especially in the African American community ?
Speaker 1You know facts , facts , no . Um , yeah , I got , I got put on that shit and I was like I was not feeling it . Not the medication with . I didn't have any side effects , thank god , yeah , but like it was like damn , because that's something like my dad suffered from . And then my grandfather yeah , I promise shit , and so like you automatically . And then , of course , chantel was on that shit too , and you know it was like it's very triggering .
Speaker 1Yeah , it was triggering as fuck . But , um , you know that just loves like get my ass back in the gym kind of watch what I why eat , what I eat and stuff like that . And then , um , yeah , it's why this next one is super important , to see kind of where I stand , where I can like be completely off of it or get beyond something like a smaller dose or something like that . So , um , but yeah , I'm scheduling everything I needed it today .
Speaker 2I need everything , whatever Big test .
Speaker 1Everything , everything , I don't .
Speaker 2I don't give a fuck . Is it ? Is it a color test ?
Speaker 1I don't give a goddamn , I ain't never had an allergy test before Run that shit .
Speaker 2Oh nigga , I am so scared to get that shit . Oh , my god , my home girl got one and she's allergic to everything . Yeah .
Speaker 1Everything . Yeah , I've heard horror stories .
Speaker 2She can't do anything and I'm just like I don't , I don't know , like no , she got that allergy test and she like basically can never go outside , like she just can't like anything dealing in outdoors . It literally sends her into like a fucking asthmatic , like shit situation . Right Her allergies she can't do outside . I got another home girl who they found out she has a has a tree nut allergy . So anything pine , walnut , avocado , certain chocolates none of that she can have . I've yes .

Speaker 1Luckily I ain't crossed , crossed , none of that shit . And I'm a little bit , a little bit scared . If I do that , it's like nigga , you've been eating this for 35 years and you , you not supposed you probably shouldn't know for sure .
Speaker 2Yeah , that probably is not the best thing for you . Yeah , yes , Allergies . It's , it's necessary . I , I , I just don't want to get one because I don't want to be uh , I don't want the information .

Enthusiastic Discussion About Beyoncé Concerts
Speaker 2I loved it . I loved every minute of it Everything .
Speaker 1Beyoncé came through the crib .
Speaker 2I loved every minute of it . I loved how it was packed . It was all ages , all colors , sizes , the silver . I loved it . I loved every minute of it .
Speaker 1I did so . This was my first Beyoncé concert . Okay , and I'll be completely honest , I like Renaissance , don't get me wrong , but that one Motherfuckers love Renaissance . Breathe Virgo's groove . I like that , you know cuff is my shit , when I heard , that album and cuff it came on . I'm like , yeah , this is the one , this is the one right here for me , and stuff like that . So yeah , and I'm a fan of Beyoncé as well .
Speaker 1So they say you know , that's not me hating on nothing , but I will say that is one of the best concerts I have ever fucking been to .
Speaker 2She puts on a show Like I . People talk a lot of see . Here's the thing . What pisses me off of people like Beyoncé is so overrated . I mean she can sing and she put on a great show or whatever . Well , bitch , shut up . It's always I'm not a Beyoncé fan , but well , but what ? But these holes in your mouth ? Shut up , like I am . Like again , I am , I am . I'm a part of the beehive . I'm not a stan . I can absolutely be objective when it comes to work . I've seen Beyoncé before . I saw her in formation . The formation tour that came in St Louis in 2016 was fucking excellent . That was my first Beyoncé experience , but like .
Speaker 2I didn't go to On the Run , or , mrs Carter ?
Speaker 1Yeah , everything was correct .
Speaker 2So I appreciate it . I love the visuals . She's going to give you a show . You know and it was she , she that that bitch can sing . She got the range . She's going to give you a show . What more could you want ? And I'm so glad , I'm so glad men were there and like enjoying themselves .
Speaker 1Facts .
Speaker 2So yeah , I love that . Yeah your first experience would be on the show .
Speaker 1Right , right , right . And like , I'm of course , familiar with the songs on the album , you know I listened to it a couple of times . You know I didn't live and breathe it Now , if this was like self titled or some shit like that , I'm saying every word and we were naked . I'm in my bag with this . That is my self title with my shit . Self title with my shit , that's not a deal ?
Speaker 2No for sure . So I love that . That is so awesome . Beyoncé puts on . Let me tell you something Beyoncé is in my top five of concerts . When I so top five .
Speaker 1Okay , get into it .
Speaker 2No particular order .
Speaker 1No particular order , just the top five .
Speaker 2Order Top five concerts , no particular order . The hard not life tour . I saw that Jay-Z DMX Red man Met the man . Okay the lock . Okay , hard not life . The 444 tour Jay-Z put on .
Speaker 1Okay , okay . Yeah , that didn't come through the crib , so you went out of town .
Speaker 2Nope , I went to Nashville . Okay , okay , excellent , the 444 tour . Drake life . It's all a blur when I tell you to Drake in 21 , savage , arbery Graham , when I tell you that mother , see people , people sleep and think , just like Arbery Graham is an amazing rapper , but you got to think this motherfucker was an actor . He is a performing artist . Arbery Graham Easy , so it's hard , not life . 444 , drake in 21 , savage , beyoncé and Eric Abadou . The Eric Abadou show that was here was just that just came .
Speaker 2Oh , it was so fucking great , okay , so good . I've never seen her perform like that , like I saw , like I've seen her at a festival here or there , but to be in an arena , the light show and the singers that was an amazing show . So those are my top five .
Speaker 1Okay , yeah , the only reason I didn't go to the Eric Abadou show is because I saw her at music at the intersection , which was a concert .
Speaker 2So I was at the intersection . Oh yeah , that's right , but I was .
Speaker 1It was completely different .
Speaker 2It was . It wasn't a good show to me because , number one , it was the rain , so we had to deal with that . And then they were behind and then whoever went on before her blew out the mics and that's why they couldn't get , because they couldn't hear . The sound was bad , so I didn't have a good Abadou experience . Okay , so when I actually got a chance to get a good ticket , I went by myself . It was out of sight . It was excellent .
Speaker 1Okay , okay , cool , cool . So , speaking to the like show aspect , that's something that I appreciated about Beyonce show Because it felt like it had a flow , it had a storyline , it was visuals , you know , blue eyes came out and shit like that , you know , it's just the energy was just top tier . Stage design yeah , instrument band singers Mike , mike's his own , you feel me Mike's .
Speaker 2The Mike was born .
Speaker 1Her fucking Mike was respectfully , respectfully , okay With tidian .
Speaker 2The titties , the titties , the titties was tidian . They were bound in like a mother fucker .
Speaker 1Well , whatever the fuck that was , yeah .
Speaker 2They was , they was they . She puts on a show . She's going to give you everything , like the unfortunately it's what they call . It is the devil's in the details . Like we're talking a show , we're going to get a theme , you're going to get stage presence , you're going to get formations . You know , yeah , it's top tier . I honestly I've . Beyonce was shocked . The crowd erupted when blue Ivy came on , like the room was shaking . I'm awesome . Oh , my God , you know it was just to see that . So I I love , as a as a former theater kid , I love performers .
Speaker 2I love to see stage shows Give me the storyline with your shit . Love that give me I am , cuz it also points to the fact like I'm no longer like . I like a good rap concert , but I'm no longer . No , I'm no longer going to rap concerts . For that fucking reason I take that back . I lied I Just bought tickets to the juvenile concert . I lied I did . I'm going to see that it's juvenile , a ball , mjg bum be , I'm absolutely going to see that .
Speaker 1Okay , is that ? Is that here ?
Speaker 2Yes , it's October 13th , it's at the fucking Shafis , but I'll go see them . I'll go see that . I love Julie . A ball , mjg Bumbie . Oh , I'm absolutely going to that hell . Yeah , I'm trying to buy floor seats .
Speaker 1Okay , okay , say less no , but for me , yeah , the Renaissance concert was . It's definitely up there .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1When Drake , when Drake came with the Migos .
Speaker 2I missed that . I had to . I saw that concert twice .
Speaker 1I saw that concert you fucking did , and I . Well , for one , I went . I went with my boyfriend , phil , to Chicago because they , when they announced the tour , obviously Saint Louis wasn't on the fucking they had in Saint Louis , didn't they exactly ? And so when they added Saint Louis Chantel , I'm like she obviously didn't get to , you know , didn't come with me to see him in Chicago . You know , it's right after her birthday . I was like let me grab her , you know , grab tickets and go see it again , because it was a damn good show .
Speaker 2Arbery fucking show he's and then you forget people . Like people talk a lot of shit . Drake is one of the goats . Like y'all forget how many songs this nigga has . He went through 20 Songs before 21 Savage even got on the fucking stage . You know , I'm saying and I went , saw them when I was in New York . So I saw them at the garden , at Madison Square Garden , so I went up there when he was in . That was the last show he had a New York . He has seven shows in New York between , like Newark , the barclays and then Madison Square Garden . Right , so we in this motherfucker , and if he put on a perfect show , like you forget how many songs he has . Like I was on my feet the entire time he was performing , cuz you , I was like I forgot about this .
Speaker 2You got take care . You got fucking thank me later . You got old . You got Houston , atlanta , vegas , drake I mean you got Drake from through the ages crazy .
Speaker 1Yeah , yeah , so that Drake and me goes tour .
Speaker 2It was shit flying in the air . It was first it was this , a Screen mask , then he had like a like a piece of sperm flying in the air . Then you have the fucking , the fucking Virgil , the fucking Virgil thing , which was weird . It was so weird . It was so weird . Like I Rest in peace the Virgil . Like I never really was a I'm not a fan of his work so I can't speak on that but this massive statue I was like , okay , that's , that's very interesting , it was . I felt bad for those who were sitting in front of it because there was .
Speaker 1It was that guy there , big yeah , yeah , he had something like that At the Migos tour . And then of course I've seen the Migos a couple of times , so of course I won't put what I won't put that they . They come with other artists from time to time but like , yeah , drake and Migos , I saw them twice . I went and saw J Cole down in Mizzou when he was on the like Friday night lights , just about to like go mainstream vibe concert was really dope when I was , when I was a youth , I got to see Jay Z .
