What's up everybody? Happy Thursday. Yes, it's a late episode, I'm sorry. I've been tired all day and I finally was like, all right, let me get up and do this fucking thing. Yeah, it's been that kind of day. I'm losing my mind in the middle of sentences, but it's all right. I don't even know what's Hold on. Why does it say 2-5? That's the wrong date, bitch. It's 2-6. Sorry, I put my episode notes by date so that I can like look at them and be like, okay, well, this is what I'm talking about for this date, and I put 2-5, which is yesterday, instead of 2-6, which is the actual Thursday date. So, of course, here we are with nonsense. I don't remember anything.
Speaker 1:I hate looking up the calendar. Do calendars make anyone else anxious, like what's the next fucking thing that's coming up? Holiday wise, we have Valentine's Day, which obviously I will have. I will have an episode on the day before Valentine's Day, because it's the 13th, hopefully, if I put this shit right in here. But anyone else have any anxiety? Looking through the calendar, why is it that January feels like the longest month of the year? It just feels terrible Like everybody's going through something Everybody is waiting for, like tax paperwork and shit, like it's just awful.
Speaker 1:And then people are like talking about their tax returns and where they're going to go. Your girl's getting $76 back. Okay, I'm not getting shit more, but there was something going on with my healthcare and whatnot. I went on the marketplace because my job has real shitty insurance. I contribute to a plan that's like $100. It's like $200 a month and it's a deductible plan. So, even still, I'm paying out of pocket every time I see a doctor. It's not a copay plan. They don't have copay plans from what I've seen. I will double check again today, though, because 2025 might be different. Um, but I uh, I don't know if I can enroll at this moment. I think the enrollment's over, but it could be a special enrollment situation for me, cause, uh, I got something going on I'm not talking about, but, um, I don't want to announce it on here yet.
Speaker 1:So we travel on, we travel on, but still having a pest control problem. I'm basically calling this place the Roach Motel, because every time I think something's okay, I find another one, a dead one, I should say. It's not alive. So the problem is not that they're alive, the problem is that they're dead in a very clean apartment. So and it's I always find them in rooms or in places that share a wall with my neighbors. So I'm assuming it's them. And, yes, I'm referring to the weed smoking cat having fucking neighbors.
Speaker 1:I'm never this angry about stuff anymore. I've become totally, totally chill about a whole bunch of shit that I should not have to be chill about. And, uh, the boyfriend was like we move in and I'm like, oh yeah, when is that happening? Get me out of this roach motel. Because last Friday literally a week ago, tomorrow, tomorrow makes a week I saw a dead medium brown one in my kitchen Well, not in the kitchen, by my garbage, I think. I don't even know if it was actually dead or playing dead, because when I hit it with the fucking spray, the raid, the shit acted like it was on fire and started like twitching and shit and I was like, oh, you're not really dead, but you're about to be, as I watch you sizzle up. I thought that was fucking hilarious. I was like, yeah, this shit tried to play dead on me, like I won't fucking roll up and knock it out, but I'm not going to step on it, because they say you step on it, you spread all that shit. So I'm good, so I have raid.
Speaker 1:We finally solved the issue in the bathroom. Uh, they sealed up the space, the, the, the space between the floor, the floorboard and the trim. So where the, where the molding meets the floor, there's a space big enough for those little homies to get in. Solve that problem. Fucking bug bomb that bathroom three times in a day on a Saturday and then the following Wednesday, pest control came and sprayed the bathroom again. What good it's doing, I don't know, because they keep coming up in here and there's nothing. Even the guy wrote in the book yesterday which I thought was so funny because he came yesterday and I'd already pulled out put out that Advion gel shit on Tuesday. So Tuesday I put out that Advion roach gel bait shit, the poison Okay, the strong stuff for them, anyway, the normal stuff for humans, like we just chill while they fucking choke on it. Uh, I put that gel down Tuesday.
Speaker 1:He comes Wednesday, but he came with another dude. So my concern was this, because I've put in so many tickets for pest control lately that it's becoming a problem. And I was talking to my homie, cuisine and maintenance and I was telling him. I was like, look, this is, this is happening too often. Okay, I was like, can you come take a look at, like this floorboard area so you can at least confirm what I'm saying is true, because they always seem to come in where there's fucking space between the molding and the floor is what I'm assuming is happening. So of course he comes, and he brought someone from the leasing office and they explained to me that what they can do is, um, I already put in a ticket for him to come this week, so he does come. Yesterday he brought another guy with him.
Speaker 1:But the thing is that comes after that is they're going to review all the tickets I've put in for maintenance and they're going to confirm what the next steps are, which would be a flush, which is like a full treatment of the, of the hotel, of the apartment. Okay, if that doesn't work, then their next step after that is to do an inspection of the building, like a full on inspection, see where it's coming from, and to me I know where it's coming from. So what's funny is that when he came yesterday and brought another dude with him that had like a big canister of spray, I was like, holy fuck, please tell me that they didn't do the flush without telling me, because now I'm gonna have to throw out everything that was exposed to it. So of course he goes. So I call the leasing office and I asked, I was like, hey, so I have a blink camera, obviously. And I saw that the pest guy came with a friend, like with a coworker, to spray my apartment and I just wanted to make sure that um, I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a flush, there was just a regular treatment. Okay, because if it was a flush they should have. They didn't let me know, and then I'm going to have to throw out a whole bunch of groceries.
Speaker 1:And uh, so she goes and she looks at the book. Meanwhile I'm still driving home and my Uberats is on its way, so it's like a race against time. So she looks in the book and she goes okay, let me, I'm going to put you on hold real quick. I'm going to go. Look, she puts me on hold, comes back within a minute and she goes uh, yeah, no, um, he said he did. He put some notes in the book and it says that he did a regular treatment and no activity found. And I was like, okay, thank you so much. I thought I was just going to have to get rid of so much shit. Thank you, I appreciate it. And she was laughing and she goes my pleasure, have a good day, and she hangs up.
Speaker 1:So that's fine. So it's fine. I can't. I don't care that he did a regular treatment. That means he just sprayed the areas that I am concerned with and then dipped, which is fine. And he actually took his time, because usually when I'm there he goes and leaves, which is probably what the fucking problem is. So this time he was actually in the apartment six minutes instead of two. So of course I I'm like enraged that he wrote no activity found. Because you're not going to find activity, buddy, because my apartment's not fucking dirty, because my apartment's not fucking dirty. Okay, save that bullshit for those crazy people next door who don't know how to take care of their shit. Sorry if you heard any noise. I had to move the mic closer to my face.
Speaker 1:There's activity in apartments where people don't take care of their pets properly or leave their fucking what is it called? Kitty litter? They leave the fucking bin out with dirty kitty litter in it and their shit and whatever else. This is why I don't have pets. If I had a cat, though, it would be cool, because I'm a clean person and I know how to handle that. There's certain people that don't give a shit about how their place smells or looks or any of that. Okay, and I'm not that person. I don't even have a pet and I care if you come in and my fucking kitchen has stuff everywhere.
Speaker 1:I've been trying to convince my sister to take the fucking vitamins that are on my counter just taking up space at this point, and she's yet to come do that. And she drove by my house, my apartment, to get to my mother's, which is where she is now. And then what's funny is is that my stepdad wants his car back because he has to get work done on it. So she was going to be carless with like for the week, and of course she cries about it. She's spoiled, and of course my mom caves, I guess, and gives her the car for the week. So she goes uh, is it cool if I come over Saturday? And I'm like I don't care if you come over Saturday, but that lady just did you a favor. Why wouldn't you just hang out with her? I'm like is it okay that you, that you're leaving early with her car, like what the fuck Anyway? So I was like whatever, you want to come over Saturday, that's fine. We are seeing heart eyes on Saturday morning.
Speaker 1:Well, not Saturday morning with the first showing at noon, because I'm sick of people. There's too many people out and about and for going to see a movie at nine o'clock last Saturday, it was pretty busy. Well, not really. There were less people, but I was tired. It's too late to be going to fucking movies. All right, so the first thing I wanted to talk about let's get into this bullshit is Whoopi Goldberg. She's losing her shit. It seems like she's losing her fucking mind.
Speaker 1:The title of the article is Whoopi Goldberg forgets the View co-star, sarah Haynes' name while looking at her live on air, and it says I'm Sarah. This already sounds bad because we're going into territory of you're older and you're starting to forget things. Goldberg paused when she told interview guest Senator Elizabeth Warren that her colleague, whose name escaped her in the moment, had a question. Could you imagine how fucking embarrassing, how long has Sarah Haynes been working next to Whoopi Goldberg, like the ocean of water that once vacated its containing vessel and spilled out onto the Hot Topics table amid the great view. Flood of 2023,.
Speaker 1:Longtime talk show panelist Sarah Haynes' name escaped moderator Whoopi Goldberg's consciousness for a brief, hilarious moment Thursday on the air. Pretty sure Sarah Haynes did not find it hilarious. I'm pretty sure Sarah Haynes was like how the fuck did this bitch forget my name? Though Haynes' name was burned into the mind of producer Brian Teta after he cringed over the co-host calling her dad hot four times during a recent episode. The same couldn't be said for Goldberg, who has appeared as a permanent fixture on the show alongside Haynes for seven seasons. So you mean to tell me that you forgot the name of someone you've been working with for seven years very closely? Y'all sit at a stupid table together a half table that fucking looks out at the audience and you forgot this bitch's name.
Speaker 1:There's so much happening in Washington DC that we have a lot to talk about with Senator Elizabeth Warren, who's joining us right now from our nation's capital, right now. What the fuck? Because she can't go anywhere. The Oscar-winning Ghost actress said as she introduced the first interview in the morning, laughing before she paused to pass things off to the unknown woman sitting next to her. That's fucked up. Also, ghost came out almost 40 years ago. Don't. Don't put that as her only thing on her fucking IMDB. Okay, that's insane.
Speaker 1:Goldberg said the show's personality is always love when Warren stops by. She then turned toward the mystery co-worker to her left. So, uh, goldberg continued looking down as she paused, while the audience chuckled at Haynes, picking up the slack by reminding her I'm Sarah, she probably went. I'm Sarah like that finding her. I'm Sarah, she probably went. I'm Sarah like that. Joy Behar, also one of Goldberg's longtime colleagues, joked that Goldberg should never forget what's her name with regard to Haynes. By the way, don't do that, joy Behar. Haynes isn't the only person a VIEW co-host has failed to properly identify.
Speaker 1:In a 2023 interview on the show's Behind the Table podcast, behar admitted that she had no idea who Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner was as the panel broke down the star's divorce from pop star Joe Jonas during that day's Hot Topics discussion hours earlier. Why is there a Behind the Table podcast? Who really gives a fuck? What's going on with these old bitches? After that show is finished, I'm gonna watch it one day. I'm gonna have to watch one day. It might be tomorrow, because I'll work from home tomorrow. I'm gonna have to watch tomorrow to see if there's anything interesting left, because if you've ever seen that episode of Family Guy where they make fun of it, it just sounds like a bunch of chickens clucking together. That's it. I wasn't that interested in the specific celebrity thing that was going on. Behar told TEDA on the it. I wasn't that interested in the specific celebrity thing that was going on. Behar told TEDA on the episode. I don't even really know who Sophie Turner is.
Speaker 1:The View airs weekdays at 11am ETPT on ABC. Why do you need her name, sally? Do you punctuate every sentence with someone's name? Bob? Who the fuck are you dude? I'd like to forget about everybody on the View and then the person who responded to him goes. Then why are you dude? I'd like to forget about everybody on the view and then the person who responded to him goes. Then why are you watching commenting here? And he goes. It's fun.
Speaker 1:Unfortunately, today's view was interrupted by breaking news report featuring Donald Trump asking for a moment of silence for those lost in the crash. Then he wandered relentlessly, dissing the previous administration. His view is definitely not mine. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Anyway, everybody shut the fuck up. Sorry, there's comments that make sense on here and comments that don't, and I think Whoopi should be a little bit embarrassed about that. Like it's just getting sad. Like the whole email from Entertainment Weekly that day was all about stupid shit that happened on the View, and this was one of the things Like dumped it right in the digital garbage. I have, like so many things in the trash too.
Speaker 1:The next God of War game that's the other thing I saw is going to be about Egypt, which I think might be cool. I like Greek mythology more, though, so I can't say how into it I'm going to be, but if the story's there, I'm going to be in it. God of War, egypt. Let's see if I can spell, because it's just throwing a C in there that I didn't type out. Let's see. God of War going to Egypt now would bring about one extra challenge. Okay, let's read this one Game rant. Let's talk about some game shit, because I don't usually hear.
Speaker 1:In September 2021, about a year before God of War Ragnarok's release, santa Monica's quarry Balrog mentioned in an interview that the team wanted Kratos and Atreus's Norse journey to reach a satisfying conclusion by the end of the saga's second game, believing that any further extensions would dilute the story and character relationships too much. God of War Ragnarok did just that tying up most of the plot threads set up in God of War 2018, while leaving room for the continuation of certain character stories. God of War Ragnarok Valhalla then acts as a brief epilogue to Kratos' story, bridging the gap between the Norse saga and whatever comes next. For years, fans have wanted Kratos to face off against the gods and goddesses of the ancient Egyptian pantheon, and that remains a really strong concept, given the pantheon's continued popularity in modern media with Whomst. A really strong concept, given the pantheon's continued popularity in modern media with whomst. But that continued popularity might also put the next god of war in an awkward spot when it comes to the portrayal of one specific egyptian god. God of war's version of konsu would have a lot to live up to the age. Ancient egyptian god of the moon. Konsu, also spelled with a k or a c, is intrinsically tied to marvel's moon Knight character making his debut in 1980's Moon Knight number one Khonshu resurrects mercenary Mark Spector, essentially forcing him to become his Earth League champion. Though Mark's willingness to be the fist of Khonshu waxes and wanes from comic to comic, like the phases of the moon, at least one of his dissociative identities, is usually happy to suit up as Moon Knight and dish out some of Khonshu's justice.
Speaker 1:While Khonshu has been an important part of the Marvel universe for over four decades, he didn't become a household name until just a few years ago. Where the fuck is this article going? We went from God of War to Marvel. Like most Marvel entities, khonshu entered the mainstream public consciousness due to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though it didn't review particularly well 2022's Moon Knight. Disney Plus miniseries was still incredibly popular, beating out Hawkeye's decent viewership members, but of course, it was cancelled. This sudden influx of new Moon Knight fans has led many to check out his extensive back catalog of comics, which in turn paints an even clearer picture of Khonshu's role in the Marvel Universe. The recently released Marvel Rivals also gives Moon Knight plenty of time in the spotlight, with him arguably being one of the game's best duelists the game's best duelists and Khonshu gets plenty of mentions during Moon Knight's pre-match dialogue.
Speaker 1:A few years ago, god of War could have presented its own version of Khonshu and many players wouldn't bat an eye, but given Moon Knight's fast rise to fame, any version of Khonshu in other media is bound to draw comparisons with Marvel's version of the Egyptian god of the moon. These comparisons wouldn't necessarily be an issue for the next god of war, but they can lead to some fans having certain expectations about how the character should behave and look. The perfect example of this is God of War Ragnarok's version of Thor. When Ragnarok's Thor design was first revealed, some took issue with how the Norse god looked, with many being used to more traditionally muscular portrayals shown in media like the MCU. First of all, fuck all that noise, because if anyone's read anything about Thor before seeing those fucking movies, he was a big bitch. He was a big bitch. Upon playing God of War Ragnarok, many players found his version of Thor Okay, so I learned nothing.
Speaker 1:Someone commented why would a completely unrelated property have any effect on God of War? That's what I'm saying, though, like you're putting too much emphasis on Marvel and what it controls. Mcu affects who it affects, and it affects young, mushy-brained people who can't accept that there's other versions of things, but we're supposed to be accepting of a multiverse. Maybe in another fucking timeline. So-and-so looks like this. Maybe in fucking in another timeline we get a Gamora who knows nothing of what happened between her and Peter Quill Okay, because the one who was in love with Peter Quill fucking dies, all right.
Speaker 1:So we can definitely do whatever the fuck we want and blame it on that, on the multiverse that, hey, the sacred timeline or this timeline or that timeline like shut the fuck up. This is what I'm saying. With this shit. We can't be acting like pussies over dumb shit, especially not with video games. Video games have the opportunity to take the place of so many other things that are going on right now, like the fucking country might be crumbling around me and as long as I got a good game to play, I don't care. I will wait for that term, for that president's term, to be over, and then I'll go back to my regularly scheduled programming of still doing whatever I want. Everything still costs too damn much anyway. Whoever sits in that office is not going to change it. Okay, if they could, it would have happened.
Speaker 1:Just so we know, dl Hughley is pissed at Snoop Dogg for performing for Trump's inauguration. I think this is hilarious because when I looked at this article, the first thing I saw this picture of DL Hughley is the most unflattering and unfortunate piece of media. Before you actually see the words that were typed out, so before you actually get to the story of what's going on. Dl Hughley looks like he's a hot fucking mess. What's in my work email? Nothing important, all right, waiting for my boss to reply to something, but that's cool. So let's see. It's always a black people thing too, by the way, and I'm not being facetious at all and I'm not trying to be canceling, but whatever, dl Hughley has some advice for Snoop Dogg that the rapper probably doesn't want to hear. It's not us, it's you.
Speaker 1:What I get tired of is people doing things and then say we don't stick together, like we don't, like we tear each other apart. The actor and comedian said on his January 28th the DL Hughley Show podcast. Why is this the first I'm hearing of this podcast? Who's listening to it? I need to see what the ratings are.
Speaker 1:The Hughley star chastised Snoop for his recent response to backlash over his January 17th performance at the Crypto Ball for President Donald Trump ahead of his second term inauguration. The very person who you perform for is doing just that tearing this country apart, families apart. He's dismantling DEI and affirmative action and long set precedents. Hughley said, and every time somebody gets into a situation of their own doing it's always a communal attack or a community's attack. I mean no people. I mean no, what the fuck. People love you, but they dislike what you did, and there's nothing more loving than that. Let's see Snoop Dogg performed at the Crypto Ball along with rappers Soulja Boy and Rick Ross. Oh, that's what he does. I'm rick ross with his fat ass.
Speaker 1:The event saw cryptocurrency executives hobnobbing with the political elite of the incoming administration over an open bar and a variety of heavy appetizers and delicious bites. I like a heavy appetizer. What that? What that is? The crypto frenzied inauguration weekend made america's first crypto president and the first family billions of dollars richer. Cnbc report on January 22nd. This is crazy, too, that he fucking made crypto. The same night of the party, the incoming president launched dollar sign Trump, a meme coin built on the Solana platform. Its market cap over the weekend climbed past 14 billion, according to CNBC report. Like with other meme coins, there's no underlying product.
Speaker 1:Soom's response to fierce backlash over his performance at the event was keeping with his more recent PG-rated public image. For all the hate, I'm going to answer with love Excuse me the California rapper born Calvin Cortazar Broadus Jr. God damn sir, what are you going to lead a revolt with that name, calvin Cortazar Broadus or is it Broadus Jr? God damn, sir, what? Are you going to lead a revolt with that name? Calvin Cortazar Brodus or is it Broadus Jr? God damn, he could lead a fucking nation. No, I'm kidding Y'all can't hate enough. I love too much. Get your life right. Stop worrying about mine. I'm cool, I'm together. Still a black man, still 100% black, all out till you ball out or till you fall out.
Speaker 1:In response to the post, instagram user at I am Angel Henderson replied with apparent hurt and astonishment. We've seen you transform over the years and go from being hated by those who didn't understand your lyrics or your life to becoming the new America's sweetheart, and we were ecstatic at all the love you were getting from everywhere. Not once have we ever turned our backs on you. We've supported every venture you've had. At. I am Angel and Henderson wrote so your performance feels like a slap in our faces. This man has openly said what his plans were for us, which include giving police full immunity when they kill us, and you went tap dance for a crowd of enemies to your people.
Speaker 1:On the podcast, hughley announced Snoop to have a talk with himself. If you're so angry about the backlash you're getting. You need to talk to the 2017 version of you. In 2017, you said that you would ride out anybody that performed for Trump anybody and you used very colorful language the comedian who was featured in Spike Lee's the original Kings of Comedy set. So it isn't us that you have a problem with, it is you. The 2025 version of you is at odds with the 2017 version of you, so it ain't the us that got to get it together, it's the you. He continued you need to have a conversation with a man in the mirror. What is so different about the 2017 Snoop and the 2025 Snoop? It ain't us. We ain't in it. This is an inner turmoil.
Speaker 1:Snoop's change of heart seems to have happened in 2021, when Trump commuted the sentence of Death Row Records co-founder Michael Harris, who had served 30 years of a 25 to life sentence for conspiracy to commit first degree murder. That's great work for the president and his team. On the way out, they did some great work while they was in there, snoop told the New York Post at the time. More recently, in a 2024 interview with the Sunday Times, snoop said Donald Trump, he ain't done nothing wrong to me, he's done only great things. For me. I'm nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump. In 2017, snoop criticized artists performing for Trump's first inauguration. I'm waiting, I'm going to roast the fuck out of you, he said, and he called those who would perform Uncle Tom's. You know? This is so.
Speaker 1:I love when people say you have to have introspection to understand what you're doing. If people are allowed to change I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong in this instance, but people are allowed to change. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong in this instance, but people are allowed to change I just I just don't feel like um, I just don't feel this is so. This example, like this article, is an example of what DL Hughley is saying. People are turning against each other within their own communities, and I say a black man versus a black man right now, because that's what's happening in this article. Okay, but this is what DL Hughley is saying that Trump is dividing the nation, and it doesn't have to be just between you know, trump is dividing the nation and it doesn't have to be just between, you know, african American and Caucasian people. It don't have to be just that. This article is a prime example of what DL Hughley is saying.
Speaker 1:So maybe the fact that Snoop is allowed to be mad at people, for you know, he's allowed to clap back. He's allowed to do that. You can't tell him he's wrong for doing that. Maybe his perspective has changed because fucking Snoop Dogg is now a businessman. First, he may still perform and I guess, quote unquote tap dance, but the thing is is that after a while, you can't do that gangbanger shit anymore. Like DL Hughley ain't out here. Gangbanging Cat Williams is like DL Hughley ain't out here. Gangbanging Cat Williams is. This is why I love Cat Williams. Okay, he says what he has to say. He doesn't go after anybody anymore. You know why it doesn't do. It doesn't matter. Like that article.
Speaker 1:Like DL Hughley, brah, don't worry about what Snoop Dogg is doing. Why are you so busy worrying about what someone else is doing? And this is what I mean when I say I do not like humanity, bruh. I don't like it because this is the shit people are doing. Okay, this is what people are doing. They're turning against each other because people's views aren't the same. If Snoop Dogg is supposed to have the same ideals as DL Hughley or he's supposed to stay who he was in 2017, that's not how you fucking grow as a person. Maybe in his own way he's figured out how Trump being in office can benefit him as a businessman. Businessman Like who? Who? Anyway, it's just, it's. It's very hypocritical. What DL Hughley is saying is what I mean is because it doesn't make sense to say that Trump is dividing the nation when this article is a prime example of brother turning against brother, literally like DL Hughley isn't even in the same ballpark as Snoop Dogg, none whatsoever. You know why you hear about DL Hughley? Because he's talking shit about Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 1:Huh, anyway, pivoting from that, before I get hotter and sweatier, getting mad about this, let's talk about this next shit. I don't like this. Stop it. We now have a chance to see Roseanne Barr be the stupidest she could be in her career. Has anyone seen that fucking music video? I didn't even watch the video yet and that was like my one thing I was supposed to do. So we have Roseanne Barr and she now has braids in a music video with Tom McDonald.
Speaker 1:I've never laughed harder at a person that's going so hard for her beliefs. Like this is like this is this. Is like when Britney Spears shaved her head when she had a breakdown. Like I just I don't understand it Like go hard for your beliefs and whatnot. And I'm sorry you got canceled for saying that a political representative looked like a damn monkey, which was so fucking, so fucking crazy. Apparently, she said that the chick looked like she belonged to Planet of the Apes and then, like there was a picture in comparison. Yes, it was an african-american woman and it's very crazy to say she got kicked off a show of her own namesake, bruh. She got kicked off a show called roseanne and it's now the bars or whatever the fuck it is now. But that's so funny.
Speaker 1:Not only this, not only is this song happening, but she thinks that she's going to start a beef with fucking Eminem and that he's going to care a lick and respond back. That's the best part. That is the best part. Roseanne Barr tries to start a beef with Eminem an awful pro-Trump rap song, by the way. The best thing I love about Eminem is I don't know where he stands politically. That's my favorite thing. I think the worst thing that they about Eminem is I don't know where he stands politically. That's my favorite thing. I think the worst thing that they could do in any type of media is you know, put out where they stand. Politically speaking, I think it just ruins things for everybody. But I'll still listen to Chris Brown. Even though he beat up Rihanna, he can still dance.
Speaker 1:I guess she also flips off the camera and at one point shakes her butt at it. I'm sorry, but Roseanne Barr makes me think of what's her name. What is that fucking actress's name? Hold up, she's so good too. Holy hell. Hold on, I'm looking, I'm looking. I promise. Who is this? What's her name? Melissa McCarthy. Roseanne Barr is just an older Melissa McCarthy. But Melissa McCarthy, I don't know where she stands politically. Love the fuck out of her.
Speaker 1:Prepare your eyes and ears, because Roseanne Barr, aka this granny I would never call her that, she ain't nobody's granny is going bad in a new pro Donald Trump rap music video and it says hey, at least you warned us. In the bizarre video with Canadian rapper Tom McDonald titled Daddy's Home, barr dons blonde box braids, gold chains and sunglasses to gloat about the election with McDonald. The song features lyrics such as we won you mad, it's done too bad. Boo-hoo, so sad you cry. We laugh alongside MAGA iconography. By the way, he's Canadian, tom McDonald. What the fuck does he care who the US president is?
Speaker 1:Bar then gets her own verse rapping. They try to cancel me and say I'm a racist. I got a mean hook. They can't get me with that jam, trying to take away my right to go and say this. Well, listen up, because this granny's going bad, terrible lyrics. Who wrote this? She appears to take a dig at her former co-show oh, it's called the Conners. She appears to take a dig at her former show, roseanne, or its spinoff, the Conners, by then adding why are they trying to turn Becky into Dan, both of which are characters in the franchise? Then Barr attempts to start beef with a real rapper by saying screw Eminem, I'm Roseanne. She also flips off the camera and, at one point, shakes her butt at it. I need to watch this video at some point.
Speaker 1:As for her grievance about being canceled, barr's likely referring to her briefly rebooted show, roseanne, being canceled at ABC in 2018, hours after she made a racist tweet attacking former President Obama senior advisor, valerie Jarrett. Bar use Jarrett's initials and wrote Muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby. Oh my God bro. Oh my God bro. Oh no, that's so fucking. That's so fucking. I'm canceled. That's not even funny. Why would you even put that there? Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values and we've decided to cancel her show. Abc Entertainment President, channing Dungey, said at the time, Prior to ABC's decision, barr tried to do damage control by tweeting.
Speaker 1:I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I'm truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me, my joke was in bad taste Within politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me, my joke was in bad taste. Within three weeks, the show was reviewed without Barr, whose character was killed off in the spin off the Conners.
Speaker 1:In recent years, barr, a vocal Trump supporter, has aligned herself with conservative figures and stirred controversy for bizarre remarks, including the claim that nobody died in the Holocaust. Barr is Jewish the fucking final sentence Barr is Jewish is amazing. Is Jewish the fucking final sentence. Bar is Jewish is amazing. How can you do that? Though You're Jewish, you're denying your whole fucking life's history. Ugh, someone put it's fantastic Love, roseanne and Tom.
Speaker 1:Best video, great lyrics. Bummed to see her have had such a toxic turn in her later years. Lost and confused. That's right, andy. Lost and confused. And then this motherfucker hashtag true, by the way, stupidest name ever lost and confused. That's rich with laughing emojis. And then someone said you're the one who's lost and confused. And then someone's name gimme that dear. Just why? Number one video See this country, bruh. Nobody knows what good music is. Is that what's happening? Because no, none of those lyrics are good. I mean, she's lost nothing. She's lost nothing.
Speaker 1:I hope Eminem does say some shit. That would be crazy. I wonder if he ever. Let me see, let me Google real quick. Eminem clap back at Roseanne. Let's see. I bet you he didn't respond because who gives a fuck? Let's see, she's just the worst person alive. I love that.
Speaker 1:There's a Reddit about it too. Sorry, I got too quiet. Oh God, he's not going to say nothing because it's not worth his time to do that. You know, it's really not worth his time to even like go through any of that. But the stupid let's see. Um, oh, okay. So I have three more things I want to talk about, and this might be it for the backyard breaks has become a terrible person on the internet, and I'm not just saying it because my boyfriend does those breaks like those repacks. Here we go, go. Oh, yes, they put it up somewhere. Oh, that's funny. Hold on, bruh, hold on, hold on. I want the fucking drama, though I don't care about that. That's crazy. Yeah, so there is actually a website about it. That's really funny, but there was a tick tock on it too. Oh, my God, bro. So he made some comments about his child, or future child um, getting their nipples pierced or something like a six year old some shit. Or them starting an only fans so that you know him and his wife can retire future wife, whatever.
Speaker 1:Backyard Breaks founder apologizes for comments on live stream. Grant Telford says he will step away from the company after sexually explicit reference to a minor. And what's worse is that he doubled down. Doubles down with it. Okay, he doubles down. That's the worst part.
Speaker 1:A founder of the popular breaking company Backyard Breaks issues an apology. Thursday, which was this article was January 31st, said he's stepping away from the company following a series of sexually explicit comments made about a minor during a live stream. Earlier this week, grant Telford, one of three company co-founders, issued the apology in a joint statement with the flagship Backyard Breaks Instagram account. I would like to sincerely apologize about the comments I made on stream Tuesday. My words and actions were completely inappropriate and to say I crossed the line is an understatement. There's absolutely no excuse for what I said. He wrote on Instagram. An apology alone isn't enough. I'll be taking some time off and stepping away from the backyard to reflect on my actions. I'll be seeking help to hold myself accountable.
Speaker 1:Moving forward, during a box break which was hosted on streaming platform Whatnot, telford and Backyard Breaks member Bugsy exchanged remarks about Telford's hypothetical future daughter that many have described as a sexualization of a child and labeled as highly offensive. Video of the live stream showed an attempted apology from Telford before the stream appeared to end early. A request by CLLCT for additional comment on the controversy wasn't returned by Telford before the stream appeared to end early. A request by CLLCT for additional comment on the controversy wasn't returned by Telford. Additional requests to other members of the Backyard Breaks team also went unanswered. Backyard Breaks issued a statement on social media Friday night saying the company is reviewing its policy for live streams to ensure this does not happen again. This moment does not reflect how we conduct ourselves as an organization, nor the care and professionalism our breakers consistently demonstrate. As of Friday afternoon, whatnot had not responded to multiple requests from CLLCT for comment on the future of backyard breaks on the platform.
Speaker 1:In the days following the first livestream, thousands of community members took to social media to protest the comments made by Telford, as well as the inaction by Whatnot and some of backyard breaks Break's largest partners. One petition, which called for Backyard Break to be banned from Whatnot as well as the 2025 National Sports Collectors Convention, had reached more than 2,600 signatures. Early Friday afternoon, fanatics declined a request by CLLCT for comment on its relationship with Backyard Break. Multiple requests for comment from grading giant psa, which hosted backyard breaks at its headquarters in 2024, also went unanswered. Best known for content that that often teeters between edgy and at best and worst at best and offensive at worst, backyard breaks was founded in 2021 and has quickly become one of the largest companies of any kind in the trading card hobby. According to backyard breaks website, the company has served more than 60,000 customers and grown from five employees to more than 80 over the last four years.
Speaker 1:So that's hilarious. Because he was so high and mighty. I guess I don't know what these people think. I don't know what these people think. That's not even the thing I wanted to send him. What the fuck? This is what I wanted to send him, not that other shit. Sorry. I just sent the article to my boyfriend because we actually watched the video of him say this crazy shit, delete that Boop, hold on. I'm saying that Sabrina Carpenter shit recording and thought you'd want to see that, since you can basically google it, um, so anyway. So basically that's what he said, since you can basically Google it, so anyway. So basically that's what he said. He basically said that he wants his future child to have piercings and that he hopes that she can get an OnlyFans so that him and his woman can retire. And the only thing with that is that you know, you can't say that. He said it and he didn't immediately look like he was upset from the clip of the stream. So it appears to me that he just thinks that he didn't immediately look like he was upset from the clip of the stream. So it just. It appears to me that he just thinks that it didn't matter.
Speaker 1:You know you have people watching. You know you're a brand standard on fucking things, on all the fucking things. And when you doubled down, bruh, because not only did he say it, but his buddy next to him was joking too, like just feeding into it, I'm like, bro, don't feed into that, I'd have fucking, as soon as someone says some crazy shit about that, I'd be like end this now. Or I would fucking just get up and leave Cause. I'd be like I'm not falling into this shit with you, or I would have made a spectacle of it on stream. There's people watching you. Okay, people are watching you. You have a legal obligation to people to not say the wrong fucking thing. And you went and you did. And not only did you double down, you tripled down and I hope the bitch you're dating dumped your ass, because I would too. I will legitimately. If I'm in the audience or, you know, in the studio with you, legitimately I'm walking up to you, flipping you the bird and leaving.
Speaker 1:And then I want you to wonder why I did that, because you know you've said the thing. It's like the fucking tweet of the Muslim and Planet of the Apes baby thing. You know, as soon as you hit that enter button, you posted something wrong and you know, as soon as the words escaped your mouth, you've literally doomed your own shit. Now you don't make money. Now you don't get to talk, now you just you kind of just don't get hired anywhere. Like, maybe maybe you get hired at a Dunkin Donuts if you don't fuck the donuts. You know? Because now you seem like a person who goes to Dunkin Donuts and will fuck the donuts and I'm not talking about Boston cream pieing the donuts, I'm talking about glazing them shits. And I would not go to that Duncan. That's real sexual.
Speaker 1:But to say you want your six-year-old daughter to be fucking, nipples pierced or whatever, and then say that, oh, I hope she gets an OnlyFans so she could support me, dude, it's not fucking funny. It's not fucking funny Because the way it just naturally came out of his mouth means you have pedophilia in your blood, because he didn't even pause when he said it and he doubled down with the OnlyFans comment after the piercing comment. And that's when I have to question your entire life, your entire life, because I would never have a kid with someone who's going to talk that way on a live stream. On a live stream, you know how many people probably screen recorded that so that they could have it and be like look at this piece of shit. It was the same thing that happened with Dr Disrespect. Like how many times are you going to do this stuff in your lifetime and think it's okay? But the problem with Dr. Disrespect, though, is that everybody's going to love him at least once and continue to love him. I have a friend who's like Gaga over him, and I'm sure would give so much money to like suck his dick, whatever, but it's like I have to question you two now because he's going after younger chicks and you still idolize this person.
Speaker 1:What is wrong with you? I don't idolize anyone who's done bad shit. You know why. I think that you know serial killers are interesting is because their wiring is different. I would never think that a pedophile is interesting. I don't want to know why you think little girls, boys and butts are interesting. Or to sexualize a future offspring. That's insane. I would have to be insane. I'd ask you to lock me up now If I found that to be interesting. I would ask you to lock me up now.
Speaker 1:Now, I'm not saying I want to go out there and kill people. I want to understand why you're going out there and killing people. Is my fascination with serial killers, that other shit, why you feel like you have to rape a woman. I don't need that. We can keep them away from me for studying purposes. All of that shit can go Like fucking. What the fuck's going on in this world where men just are like, yeah, we're gonna say whatever because Trump's in office? That's not how that works. Trump may get away with it because he has money. You don't have money like that bitch. I'm sorry to tell you, if you have to be on here selling cards, you have money like that. My boyfriend has money. That's not what this is. But, yeah, that guy's fucked and that's really funny. That's funny to me. Okay, so I watched a whole bunch of shit.
Speaker 1:I'm getting back into the swing of things of getting back on my media shit, um, but yes, I, I do find people like ed kemper interesting. Um, I do, and I do like backstories. I listen to a lot of true crime stuff. A lot of them are real famous serial killers, like ted bundy. What are you doing, bruh, ed Kemper, what are you doing, bruh? Even if they like sexually assaulted women, I don't care about that part. I want to know what possessed them to think that they were going to get away with it for so long. I mean, of course, they don't have the technology that we do now, but they still got caught. So, in any case, I did read the book that, um, there was a.
Speaker 1:Uh, what the fuck? There's a book called the stranger beside me, a woman who I didn't finish it yet, but it's so crazy. She was like a crime, a crime writer or I don't know what her fucking actual thing was, but she was an author and she wrote a lot of criminology shit. What her fucking actual thing was? But she was an author and she wrote a lot of criminology shit. And she worked at a funny enough a support line with Ted Bundy like a suicide helpline. Okay, she worked with him. She knew him personally. He's even walked her to her car and told her to like be careful, there's crazies out there. Meanwhile, he's one of the crazies Like, could you imagine that being you? Could you imagine being in that situation where you where it fucking literally breaks your heart when you find out what people do literally breaks your heart?
Speaker 1:I had a friend this happened to a friend of mine. Um, I had a friend one time. He, uh, he was pretty cool. We're pretty close. Um, he asked me to hang out one day and I lived at the time. I didn't live in Middletown anymore. He lived on like like half an hour away from me and I lived in Middletown.
Speaker 1:It was far and like in the woods, like you had to drive down his driveway and his house was there on some land. Like in the woods, like you had to drive down his driveway and his house was just there on some land. And uh, fucking, what'd you call it? He asked me to hang out one night and I don't feel like it was winter. Um, he decided to go out to a bar that night and, um, he got drunk, obviously, and it just so happens that, uh, he ended up killing someone that night. He got into a fight, he punched the guy. He punched him so hard Uh, it was outside the bar he punched him so hard the guy landed, like he hit his head on the ground and fucking died, like that was. That was literally it Like, and I've seen that guy's fist, so I know, I know he, I know what he could do.
Speaker 1:Um, he's out now, but how crazy was that the night that I was supposed to go hang out with him? Even my mom, to this day, likes to make that joke that hey, you should have just went and fucking hung out with him because then he probably wouldn't have killed that guy. And I'm like he didn't kill the guy because I didn't go hang out with him. What the fuck? I was like that's so crazy because I went to high school with him, so of course his name shows up in the paper. And my mom goes don't you know him? I'm like, yes, please chill out. I was like, yes, I was supposed to go hang out that night with him and it didn't happen because I didn't feel like leaving my house. It's winter, it's winter, I'm under the blankets, we chilling. And she was like, wow, I, you know someone. You know they're tough, but you don't know how tough they are. Like you, just, you just hang out with them. You go out to drink with them, party, whatever. And that was the craziest thing that's ever happened in my life or that I've even come close to something like that Only thing. All the other thing would be I had an ex who was a shoplifter. Like this is stupid shit. So I saw.
Speaker 1:So back to the shows. I watched this show called hysteria. It's on Peacock and it was pretty good. It had a Bruce Campbell in it from ash versus evil dead and the evil dead series, the movies. And God, he's been doing this forever. He, he plays a cop.
Speaker 1:So what happens is in 1989, in this town in like Michigan, some crazy shit starts happening and it's like the satanic panic time. And this one kid, julie Bowen, plays the mother of this kid, who is in like a rock band, and he starts to say that they're in a cult just so that they can get more followers and shit. And this one girl who's like really preppy looking, she's into that type of shit. So he starts bragging about how they're all in a cult and whatnot, and it gets them a lot of attention. But it also turns it into something evil and real. So Julie Bowen gets like fucking possessed and she gets them a lot of attention, but it also turns it into something evil and real. So Julie Bowling gets like fucking possessed and she starts acting out and she even she's a hairdresser and in one of the episodes she ends up cutting the top of this woman's ear, which, holy shit, it like the whole top of the ear off, not just nicking it, but like she got possessed by the demon real quick and called this person's daughter a whore and cut the ear. It was insane.
Speaker 1:I was like holy shit, but I, like binge, watched an entire season in one day. It was Sunday, the past, like last Sunday. Insane, if you get a chance to watch this, pretty good, it's a, pretty interesting. And then they have the chick from Pitch Perfect. I forget what her name is. Let me look, it's not Anna Kendrick. It's not Anna Kendrick, it's a. Let me see, it's not Anna Kendrick, it's not Anna Kendrick, it's uh. Let me see what the fuck is her name? Peach Perfect. It's the blonde one from Peach Perfect. And no, not Fat Amy, it is what's her name? Anna Camp. I know Brittany Snow was fucking a redhead in that one, but she, anna Camp, was the one who was the one that was all prissy about her.
Speaker 1:The Bellas, whatever they were called, I don't remember, but I didn't watch that movie like that. Everybody's like, oh my God, it's so good. And I was like, yeah, whatever, my mom was into a real heavy and I was like, nah, nah, nah, I'm good, I'll stay in my room, but yeah, so she plays like a really Christian mom. Her backstory too, as to why she turned that way. But she's the only one whose backstory they really go into, because her daughter gets kidnapped and they show that the same thing happened to her when she was younger. So it's interesting.
Speaker 1:It's interesting, um, if you get a chance to watch it. It's on peacock, it's called hysteria and it's a really good soundtrack too. Um, but the, the blonde chick, the preppy blonde chick, that's really into all this Satan, satan, shit gets real into it. And then my boyfriend is doing his card thing in here and he just hears me in the other room screaming and shit like punch her in the fucking face and all this other stuff, and he's like what the fuck are you watching? I'm like yo, this bitch is crazy and I would never be friends with her and she would get punched right in her fucking mouth for talking all this crazy shit. Like that's what it would be. It would be girl, I'm gonna knock you in your shit and that's it. Wow, they really didn't deliver my shit yet. I thought it was here Anyway.
Speaker 1:Um, then I saw, then we watched the movie companion, which is the movie we saw last Saturday about the sex robot thing. Um, from the trailer I learned nothing, which is this is how I'm going into movies from now on. I don't want to watch trailers. If the fucking picture, if, like the poster, looks good, I'm going to see it, because these movies out here these days and I was talking to my boyfriend about this. These movies these days get ruined by trailers because they show all the best parts in the fucking trailer and then that's it. And then you're left with like well, that movie was a piece of shit because the rest of it sucked Like TikTok does it right. When they do fucking trailers like when they post movie trailers, tiktok does it right. Sorry if you heard that creak, my fucking chair's acting like I'm fat, but that movie was good.
Speaker 1:Whoever wrote that? There were so many twists in it? Dude, I was so stuck on it. It's basically this guy brings his sex robot for a weekend to meet his friends and then shit goes crazy. But the reason shit goes crazy is because of him. And that's all I'm going to say. You will have to go see it, or bootleg it or whatever you're going to do to see it. It's really good. We're seeing Heart Eyes on Saturday, this coming Saturday, at noon. It's really good. We're seeing Heart Eyes on Saturday, this coming Saturday, at noon. It's going to be phenomenal, it looks good.
Speaker 1:And then the other movie I want to see is called Drop. Basically, this woman goes on a date and this person that's in the room is airdropping footage from her house of them watching the Babysitter and her son and saying that she needs to kill her date, but they're trying to figure out what the date is, trying to help her figure out who it is. So it just looks insane Like you learn absolutely nothing from that trailer and I'm like, fuck yeah, like you get the basic premise of it. But they really got to restructure how they do their trailers, cause it makes no sense to show all that shit and then just leave you with nothing. Then sinners is another good one, another good looking one. It has Michael B Jordan in it and there's some vampires. But, um, it looks cool. It looks that looks like it's going to be good too, because I learned nothing in a trailer that you learn nothing in the movies Fantastic.
Speaker 1:And then, of course, I asked uh, I asked Chris cause he went to. They went to go see my sister last weekend, so Sunday I called my mom because she started to make me mad and I said don't make me call you and she goes or what. And I called her. I was like that's it, I've had it and I called her and they're on their way back. They spent the night in Tallahassee to see my sisters because they were all together up there and I was like what's the last movie he went to see? And he was like Conclave and I said, okay, so that's pretty recent, so that's cool, but it's a very Chris movie.
Speaker 1:It's about fucking priests, and let me Google it real quick because I wanted to see it too, but I don't really know what it's about. So let me just see Conclave, conclave, conclave, yep 2024. What was it about? Cardinal Lawrence? Watch, I'm fucking peacock. Fuck. Yeah, cardinal Lawrence is one of the world's most secretive and ancient events. Participating in the selection of a new Pope, surrounded by powerful religious leaders in the halls of the Vatican, he soon uncovers a trail of deep secrets that could shake the very foundation of the Roman Catholic Church.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of people in this. There's a lot of big people in this. Ralph Fiennes is Cardinal Lawrence. Isabella Rossellini is Sister Agnes Holy shit. Stanley Tucci, cardinal Bellini, john Lithgow fucking wonderful.
Speaker 1:Who else? There's like so many people in this? Well, the main ones that I want to see are the ones that I just listed. Those, for I don't know nobody else in this shit. I'm sure if I see them in their garb I'll be like oh, I know who that is. But before that I don't even remember what movie he's I was like was the last movie you saw. He's like Conclave, and then I think the Exorcist. I'm like, you know, I'm always like 40 years old, right, but I don't think that was the last movie he saw. I think he's just fucking around. But yeah, that's it pretty much.
Speaker 1:That's it for the week. I now have talked myself into a headache, so I'm going to go drink a whole shit ton of water and hope you have a great rest of your week, guys. I've been so tired and feeling so sick lately, but it's fine, it's cool, we'll get better. It's the season, season's changing and what not. This weather has to pick a lane. Today it's like 80, yesterday it was like 60 was the high. I don't know, bruh, I just can't take it. But I love you guys and I thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 1:Share this with everybody aunties, cousins, distant cousins, anyone in another country. Share it, spread it, love it, do it, don't. If you see that petition for backyard breaks, sign it. Um well, for the guy Grant Telford, whatever the fuck his name was get him out of here. We don't need bad blood with these card breaks. All right, don't sexualize children, bro. That's this. I'm sorry. That's still so annoying to me that you could do that or think that you can do that, and there's no repercussions. Anyway, I gotta go before I make myself mad again. I love you guys. Thank you so much. Bye, thank you.
