Hey y'all, and welcome to the newest episode of this Is how it Ends podcast. I'm Nell, I'm so and we're here for a new episode, so let's get into it how you doing so.
Speaker 2:Girl, I gotta put this out there. Lately like things have been moving in my house. I bought these planters peanuts and I put it in the pantry. I went I looked all over the pantry, like I mean I looked up and down all over the pantry, nothing. I go back and it's right there, like two days later. I'm like I looked here. I know I looked here. I'm going to start taking pictures of stuff.
Speaker 1:Now, didn't you need to document this and didn't something like this happen? A little bit, there was some weird stuff happening before.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like the fan in my room was on and I don't remember turning it on. But there was another thing. My husband, fabian, got this pre-workout thing that was on the counter. I remember seeing on the counter. Normally if I clean up, like I'll put everything away. If it's out, I don't care, it's going somewhere, all right, because I want it out of my sight. But I didn't clean up like you know, like stuff was still on the counter. I didn't put anything away and like like he's asking he's like where did you put my you know pre-workout stuff? I'm like I don't have it. I didn't touch it. I remember seeing it. The counter has not been cleaned, so it should be there. I think like a day later it's in the garage on top of his toolbox.
Speaker 2:He's like I did not put it there. And then his workstation, he calls me. He was like hey, did you, did you unplug all my stuff? Because he had his mic, his camera, his keyboard mouse all plugged into. It's like, oh, you know one of those everything he's like did you do? I'm like why would I? Why would I do this? Why would I come to your death station and unplug everything? So I don't know if I should be like saying this out loud. But hey, you know we cool, all right, all right, I'm just yeah, we just want to put it back.
Speaker 2:That'd be nice. Appreciate it.
Speaker 1:We don't want any ghosts, but if we are going to have ghosts, let's have some friendly ass ghosts, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know. I hope it's friendly. I even had this woman come to my house and she's sage, so I'm going to have to sage again. I'm not going to call her because she costs a lot of money, just sage.
Speaker 1:Try to sage before the week begins, just to clear out anything and to give me strength to go to bed.
Speaker 2:That's how I'm doing, girl. How are you doing?
Speaker 1:I'm doing okay. I wasn't feeling well last week, but since I wasn't feeling well, it was giving me a chance to maybe watch some things that I normally wouldn't, and so that'll be a segue into the Meghan Markle show. So this is normal-ish, but things are not that normal and we actually have a few things today, so we're going to start with I call it Megan, not so remarkable, get it Right. So do you follow the Royal family?
Speaker 2:I don't, and the obsession with them is really bizarre to me.
Speaker 1:It's a bit bizarre, but after watching the show then I just started, you know, to do a little deep dive or whatever deepish dive, so we'll get into that. So, with love, megan is an eight episode lifestyle series that premiered on Netflix on March 4th 2025, hosted by Megan Duchess of Sussex which there's some weirdness around that too and the show features her engaging in various domestic activities, such as cooking, gardening and hosting celebrity guests like Mindy Kaling and Alice Waters. Now Go ahead girl.
Speaker 1:I was like, okay, you know. First I was like, oh, this is, this is cute, this is it's light. You know, first of all, she didn't even film in her home. It was in some other, like mansion in montecito, which is fine, it was another mansion like her mansion? It wasn't her mansion, it was just a different mansion that they rented just for the show, for her to cook, you know, and if we could have Martha Stewart, I mean, if they can have Martha Stewart, why can't we have Meghan Markle, I guess, um.
Speaker 1:I don't, I don't understand that because you know, martha does the whole cooking lifestyle thing, so why can't Megan? I enjoyed it, it was lighthearted, but it's gotten people a bit of a tizzy and I'm not sure why. But I made some guests kind of based off of the what I saw and also people's reactions. So she likes to sprinkle edible flowers on a lot of things and sometimes like, okay, girl, this is cute and all, but I don't want daisies all up in my donuts and shit, I don't want that.
Speaker 1:Now, the most egregious thing was her one pot pasta. Her one pot pasta, okay. So she's like okay, one pot less dishes, all right, let's go. And so it was like some vegetables that she put in the pot. Then she took the spaghetti.
Speaker 1:Now, this is the controversial part. So she took the spaghetti and instead of you know you just boiling in the pot like how you normally would, she puts the dry spaghetti in the pot with all like the other stuff she was cooking. And then she takes boiled water and then she puts it in the pot with everything and it makes the noodles. And so all of a sudden, everyone's italian like, oh, I'm italian. Oh, I can't believe it, I would never do that. Mama me shut up. Okay, if this is what she wants to do, there's a whole bunch of one pot things, people just making like a big deal out of it.
Speaker 1:Then they were just also picking at the fact that she was like oh, you know, when your guests come over, you can make some homemade bath salts for them. And I was like a girl by absolutely, you get these clean sheets. Okay, if I like you enough, I'll give it my bed, but my sofa pulls out, that's what you'll get. But even then it seemed like she didn't do it the right way, because you can't just put essential oils. You have to put a carrier oil and then you have to put the essential oil, otherwise it's too strong, so you may use the bath salts and then the burn and your hoo-ha. So people like, oh yeah, people consume Meghan Markle, for you know, having these bath salts, that can harm you. And I'm just like what? Yeah, it was this whole thing. Just people just saying how bad the show was, just how out of touch she is, and it's like is she married into the royal family? Is she supposed to be down to earth?
Speaker 2:Yeah, royal family, is she supposed to be down to earth? Yeah, was she first of? All does. Does megan and is it harry? That's the guy right here. Does megan and harry need the money? Like why is she doing this? Like I don't understand. Maybe because she was an actor she wants to be back, you know, behind the camera, like what is the purpose of this?
Speaker 1:so Megan and Harry has a like a development deal with Netflix. So I don't know what they're like, how many shows their contract has kind of like what. Like Barack and Michelle had some kind of contract, netflix too so they had their documentary Harry and Megan, and and then now they had some kind of show reality show called Polo, which I heard no one watched, and now there's this thing, and then they also had to deal with Spotify for podcasts. So I don't, from what I know, harry got quite a large inheritance from the queen when she passed away and he got the larger one because he's not the next in line. The next one is what is it, william? She was like alright, sis, you're not going to have it. Here's some money. Guess it's pity money, I don't know, but either way they're rich and you know you're rich when you're seeking refuge in Tyler Perry's compound or whatever it's yeah, people are so conflicted about, well, they hate her.
Speaker 2:They really hate her, right? They really hate her. And she complains a lot about being bullied and all of this other shit. Like just get out of the limelight, like I don't understand. You know, like if you're a public figure and people are always seeing you, they're going to attack you. And I got to say we live in a time when people are obsessed with wealth but they hate seeing it flaunted. People are angry Because it's really hard out there.
Speaker 2:You don't want sprinkling edible flowers on your table. If your guests come over, make make them from that it's a couple of things so like.
Speaker 1:I just don't feel like why does she have to be the one that's down to earth when there's a lot of famous people that are out there doing like dumb stuff, stuff, stuff for money? I just don't know why the pressure is on her. But I do also think that she's someone that does want the limelight. You know, we know we throw the word narcissist around quite a bit. However, after doing some diving, I was like, yeah, and I think she wants to be liked, but're just not likable like in that way.
Speaker 1:Not everyone has that kind of personality where it's like, oh, I want to watch someone cook. There's some people that could just sit on the sofa and you're like, oh, they're entertaining. She's just not one of those people. But she tries so hard that it comes out really cringy. But you can tell like the people that were supposed to be her friends like really weren't her friends. Every she was just trying really hard and even Mindy Kaling was just like oh girl. She was like oh, you can make these ladybug christinies for your, you know, next, your kid's next birthday party. She's like child. I didn't, I hired someone to do that. I was like right on party. She's like child. I I hired someone to do that. I was like right on, mindy, okay, because if I could hire someone to do, you know like who's gonna sit there and do this and you have all this money, and so what?
Speaker 2:I'm hearing is it wasn't authentic, right? If something is not authentic, people pick up on that. And she doesn't have to be, you know, down to earth, relatable like that. If you ever watched beyond, like I think beyonce is like so far, I don't think she's human, like it's just, it's not relatable as a person, but people still love her yeah, but there's definitely people good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think she needs to. You know, you don't have to be, I don't, she doesn't have to be down or she doesn't have to be anything. But my point is she's constantly complaining about being attacked, but then she seeks the limelight and she does shows like this. But you know what that's to your point. Maybe she does love the limelight, then whatever.
Speaker 1:I guess, but it just seems like you ever seen. What was that show? Was it Flavor of Love, when New York says give it up delicious. You look like a man. Which one was delicious Delicious? Was that the one that Flav ended up choosing over New York?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is Like New York is the Capricorn queen. She is the queen of reality TV.
Speaker 2:Have you seen her?
Speaker 1:lately she looks nothing like no. And for a while it was going in kind of Muppet territory, and then she bought it back a little bit.
Speaker 2:It's like me. They look nothing like the way they did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just don't understand people that get plastic surgery, look like someone else and then have kids, knowing that your kids may inherit your features, and then what do you tell them?
Speaker 2:it's just very weird to me, but there was a lawsuit, and was it in china, with the man's suit and the woman's? It's like I didn't know you were this ugly.
Speaker 1:But Megan in the show. There was a part with Mindy where she was just. She said something like oh, Megan, Markle, and she was like Markle, I'm Sussex now, I'm Megan Sussex now. And I guess Mindy had this look like I didn't'm Sussex now, I'm Megan Sussex now, and I guess then he had this look like I didn't get the memo, sis, you know Was she joking.
Speaker 1:It wasn't a joke. No, I guess it was real, but it's like you know, sis Is the last name Sussex. I don't understand Some videos that said you can take the place where you're like lord or lady of and that can be your last name when you do shit like this. Because this make up your mind, okay, it's not hopscotch you in, you out. First they wanted to do something where it was like a hybrid like this, ain't no nine to five, where you're partially with the crown and then you're partially in LA. What does that make sense? Where you have the taxpayers money, the British taxpayers money, going to your lifestyle or whatever, and then you can go and be celebrities like they're supposed to, whatever the crown represents, whatever they're supposed to be doing, they's supposed to be a bit more dignity with them, as opposed to, you know, the shenanigans of Hollywood and whatnot. And just you know the deeper the dive that I did get into, just in terms of how she just tried to mimic Diana so much, which is very weird, because Harry has this mother wound, you know, because of what happened with Princess Diana, and so even wearing like down to like, the same outfits, this northwestern sweatshirt and then, yeah, for someone who has been attached to his family all his life. This woman comes along and all of a sudden he's like I renounce my throne. You know, it's just like that's what abusers and narcissists do they isolate you from your family and it's just like, all right, not saying this man is abused, but there's some manipulation that's happening here, you know. So I don't know.
Speaker 1:Girl, I was trying to be on her side a little bit. At first. I was like what's wrong with people? Let her make her little donuts and whatnot. Yeah, then, when I thought about it, I just think as a whole um, these celebrities need to start marketing things that we could actually use. Okay, I don't want any more liquor. I don't want any more liquor. I don't want any more donuts and baked goods.
Speaker 1:And Megan, okay, now here's where I draw the line Her little preserves, jams or whatever. First of all, she kept on correcting people when they were calling it jam. She's like no, it's not jam because of the sugar ratio, the sugar to fruit ratio. Girl, don't, nobody care, all right. So then she I looked up how much these preserves costs, or the preserves and the honey, and it's like $25 for some preserves, 25. 25. The world is going to hell in a handbasket. Sorry, this is a side you ever heard of the grocery store called Erewhon. No, it is like the one of the most expensive grocery stores, if not the most expensive grocery store in the Los Angeles area. And I hear they're going to expand and so I've heard about like they'll have smoothies for like $20. And then the smoothies will be attached with some star or like Hailey Bieber smoothie, whatever. And so now this new thing is I don't know what kind of marketing-ish is this? They have a single strawberry that comes in a case for $19.
Speaker 2:And people buy it. And people buy it Like we're complaining about eggs that cost $20 for like you gotta fight for eggs, girl. You gotta fight for your life for eggs. Okay, I don't like. There's just such a disconnect, right like the economy is bad, people are losing their jobs, but then they're they're doing all of this like who's buying? Like? I need to know like who's buying this? Like? Who are the people that just have lost all their brain cells and have decided, if we're marketing something for, like, a single strawberry for $20, I'm going to buy it.
Speaker 1:So if I ever buy a single strawberry for $19, you can befriend me in life online. That is insane. That is absolutely insane. But on a good note, I read that spending has gone down. Consumer spending has gone down the most it's had in like two years or something like that. So maybe people are, you know, getting the picture now.
Speaker 2:There's a movement, though, where it's like I don't recall the exact name of it, but pretty much encouraging people to buy what you need. Right, and I'm trying to keep that in mind. If I go to the store, if I had to go to Target, I'm just buying what it is that I came for. I don't need to see your swimsuit, I don't need to see your sweats or none of that. Like, just buy what you need. So there's a movement. I don't know Some of these are. They go up and down. The economy is really bad. I'm not spending extra money. I went to the store to buy undergarments. I'm like how much is this Girl? Do I have a coupon for clothes? I could get an extra 10%. I don't want to pay 20 years for this.
Speaker 1:Okay, no girl, wait, you get, like the, the extra big titty bras expensive as hell. Okay, girl, it's a curse, and a curse okay, because the bras be hella expensive. All right, like shit's real, but yeah. So back to Megan. Um, when she released it on Netflix, it was actually a global top 10 across 47 countries, so it did have a good initial viewership. Um, and there was some there's a of criticism, but there was also some people that you know liked it as well. But basically the main, the main argument is that it's out of touch, she's not likable, and her friend, who she's making this, like, hey, your friend's coming over, make them a basket, whatever kind of situation. And so she already had the bath salts and then she took they're already like the pretzels with the peanut butter in them. So she took that out of her original plastic bag then put it in a cuter plastic bag and then tied it up.
Speaker 2:I was like, alright, sis now, when you come to visit me, do I have to create a?
Speaker 1:basket for you? Absolutely not. Um. So, look, I'm like here's the thing I, when I entertain, I like to. I like for there to be a vibe, I like things to be on pretty plates, like I can get with that too. I like flowers and stuff like that. But you know there's limitations. It's it's what I got to there, and maybe I'll pick up some flowers from like Trader Joe's or something. But I will say that I did look on the TikTok a little bit and there were some women that were inspired, just it's. Maybe it's not necessarily about we can't afford all these expensive things, but it's more so being intentional when you do have gatherings, and sometimes for me I, I like things that are pretty and so I like to put things on a pretty plate. But I got that plate from the goodwill, you know. So that's kind of how I have. I'll balance it out like here's some food.
Speaker 2:Here's some drinks. Here's some drinks. I mean, that's not the best. I'm not. I like to have people over, but I don't like doing fancy shit.
Speaker 1:Oh girl, no I like sleep.
Speaker 2:My life is just relax. I'll have food, I'll have drinks, but I don't think I'm gonna plate it. Really very pretty, like you know, I'm I feel like, so someone like you like you'll go somewhere and you'll see something you'd be like, oh my god, this would look good with like this on it, right, like I'll go. I'm like I'm so over. I'm like I, I don't know, I don't know, I'm so put up with it and you don't call it.
Speaker 1:It's gonna taste good, that's it see, that's not everyone's, that's not everyone's thing, you know, and because I love you, so I accept this part of you. But for me, if I'm going somewhere, if I have to travel and there's no presentation, I feel away. I feel away.
Speaker 2:So I'm gonna give you presentation, I'm gonna to be no presentation when you come out here. Okay, You're going to be fed All right.
Speaker 1:Always happy to eat the kids' snacks. So many kids' snacks, oh my gosh, eat your baby snacks. Invite me to your house at your own risk, okay.
Speaker 2:Maybe some coconut rice, maybe some jerk chicken. It's going to be all the food.
Speaker 1:Yes, there'll be good food. I'll eat girl. Hey look, this is why I have friends that are adults that live in houses in the suburbs, so I can just come and bask in that adult life, yes, yes. So overall, with Meghan Markle, I appreciate the intentionality, but girls those preserve prices are absolutely ridiculous, and so I'm not sure who you marketing to, because it seemed like a very simple recipe and, though I initially thought she was getting hate, I could see how annoying her show was. But you know how I do. I definitely hate watch. So I will be tuning in for season two, which really isn't season two. They just recorded 16 episodes in just a little half, but I'm going to have fair feelings, I'm going to watch.
Speaker 1:I'm going to watch it just to see, like, what people are talking about. Um, I thought it was light and I was like, okay, this is nice, but then I can see how annoying it is too yeah, um yeah but before we move on, whatever happened to celebrities making all their money with other music or movies and then just fade into the background?
Speaker 2:now it's like they need to have like a liquor, they need to have like a food, they need to have all these commercials. They need to do voiceover. It's like do you not have enough money? Like I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Maybe they don't. They don't like the music business nowadays in terms of streaming, what you get it's cents on the dollar it's not a lot. Most people make their money from touring to my do. The other day I saw a video of mariah carey on the stage. Now we know mimi phones it in. Okay, we know she'll give you just like, she'll give you a little shoulder, but y'all, I think she actually fell asleep on the stage. I hope she's so someone. What song was it? It was more like, it's just like, and then she woke up. But at least she was back, like, and she started singing again. So at least she. She fell asleep. I don't know she's taking something. I don't know, but I'm like Mimi, you're rich, why are you out here doing this? What's the need? Why are you so? I don't know if part of it is like people's egos. They want to be out there, but also, the music business is just not the same as it's not, but I think she has all the money, but yeah.
Speaker 1:Mariah Carey. She musical Shout out to her Again. I mean her marrying Nick Cannon. I just questioned some of her life decisions but we all can't be great at everything.
Speaker 2:But Mimi on her. She could live off of her one Christmas song okay. Yeah, so I'm not sure how do we need to even someone like Beyonce right. You don't need that Levi's jeans, which fit her very well, by the way.
Speaker 1:They do because. I have a pair of Levi's jeans and I look like a sack of laundry in the jeans right, I just don't have the same effect. But I don't know. I think to be famous, there has to be some narcissism there.
Speaker 2:You have to be, I guess, I guess you have to be relevant, right, and if you think people want to always be relevant.
Speaker 1:Yes, and you have to have a brand. It's not just you sing. You have to do most. I mean just how us regular folks. It is a lot of work, just like us regular folk that talk about. You have to have two, three jobs. You got a big job like you got to make money and just fade are you kidding me?
Speaker 1:I saw something, but they said the gangnam, gangnam style, whatever they're like. Yeah, I would be like him. Just make that one song, make millions and fade into oblivion. But actually he's actually pretty popular in Korea and he's not faded into oblivion. That's the only song maybe we know. But yeah, that's girl, I only need one hit. Okay, just one hit. Take my money and go. Okay, pay off my debt, buy me a little something, invest the rest and take just like one lovely trip with all of you.
Speaker 1:And that's it. Yeah girl, yeah girl. That's what I would do. I don't just one being in the spotlight. I don't know how people do it, I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's work Like when you talk, when they talk about like people who like create, like content creators, right, that's why they get crazier and crazier, yeah, and they're always happy, like you always have to be online.
Speaker 1:That's wild. But yeah, the cult of celebrity as a whole I feel it it is dying. And um, you know from what I hear these cowboy carter um tickets. First hobby told me there's some tickets, there might be some tickets for 36. I said get out of here. But then I saw it.
Speaker 2:I was like I'll pay 36, even 100 people don't have money, like they're so out of touch. Yeah, it's like people are struggling. That's why I don't get people who idolize these entertainers. They can't relate to the common people like.
Speaker 2:Especially someone like a beyonce, like maybe she came from you know well, she was middle class, but up actually kind of upper middle class, upper middle class but she's like she's been where she's at for so long I don't even think she probably doesn't know how much, like a banana cost by what thirty dollars, like, I don't know she's gonna be like trump, who is trying to buy groceries for that he just picked up some random shit like popcorn. I'm like bish, yeah I don't, I don't, I don't understand like I.
Speaker 1:Just I don't expect these people to be relatable. Honestly, and I think it's their entertainers, it's what they do, it's my choice where I put my coins, you know. But I was. But I wasn't paying a crazy price to see Beyonce, but I paid $36 to be in the nosebleed. Sure, I'd do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I won't pay $36 to be around all these people. I don't know where the next bathroom is. I gotta stand on line for like a time just to pee and miss happy performance. No, thank you. I'm not a Beyonce hater. I enjoy Beyonce. I might listen to her albums three years from when they were released.
Speaker 1:I'm a fan. I'm very much a fan, but I'm also a realist. I'm not going to sacrifice my bills to see Beyonce. She's a fellow Earth sign. I'm not going to sacrifice my bills to see Beyonce, so she's a fellow earth sign. I'm here for it. And probably the last vestige of female entertainers that actually entertain. You know, she actually puts in work. I don't know what's going on nowadays, yeah.
Speaker 1:So in other news again, I didn't know what to talk about there was a on March 9th it was women's day and there was a protest in Chicago because Trump and Musk hate everyone that is not melanin deficient, not straight and has a vagina. So shout outs to the people showing up in Chicago. Also, tesla stock has dropped. Shout outs to everyone that bought that ugly ass Cybertruck. But I kind of wanted to talk about the whole DEI rollback, to talk about the whole DEI rollback, but it's gotten so petty-self. I don't know if you've seen this happen today, so this happened last month, but the article was released today. So I call this breaking up the band. All right. This is how petty this is Right.
Speaker 1:So, february 2025, the president's own US Marine band canceled a scheduled concert that was to feature high school musicians of color selected through a competitive audition process. This collaboration, organized with the Chicago based nonprofit Equity Arc, aimed to provide mentorship and performance opportunities for young BIPOC musicians. The cancellation was attributed to recent executive orders directing federal entities to discontinue diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. A Marine Band spokesperson confirmed that the participation in the event was canceled in accordance with these directives. Canceled in accordance with these directives. So you mean to tell me that young students of color who auditioned which I'll talk about that right who auditioned earned to be a part of this prestigious band, got the little hopes yanked from them because of DEI?
Speaker 2:Cruelty is the point, that's it.
Speaker 1:I just why? Why would you do this to these kids? And it says the decision affected approximately 30 young musicians nationwide who had earned their spots through competitive virtual auditions. Stanford Thompson Equity Arts Executive Director expressed disappointment, noting that the collaboration was intended to expose students to military music careers and provide valuable mentorship experiences. And so I just think it's really petty, because I think there's a confusion with affirmative action versus DEI. They're two different things and to be like okay, we're against creating environments that not cater to but that keep in mind other kinds of people with other kinds of abilities. It's not just race, it's all other things. I remember for work, when I used to have to, when I was holding interviews for candidates because people might be neurodivergent, that we had to like give them questions ahead of time so they had chance to like prepare or whatever, and that's under the dei initiatives. So it's not just okay, you're BIPOC, there's other things to consider as well, and I think it's just so petty to just take this away from these kids.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know they talk a lot about meritocracy, right, Like you shouldn't get ahead of the marriage. But if you look at his cabinet, it's not a meritocracy. It's who he knows, who he thinks are loyal to him. It has nothing to do with meritocracy. I think the ambassador to France is like his son-in-law's father. You know what I mean. Yeah, it's meritocracy, I guess, when it comes to others, but when it comes to them, it's nothing apart. It's rules for thee, not for me. To them, you know, it's nothing applies. It's rules for thee, not for me. Like there's just like like his cabinet, are people who don't even have that background but somehow are placed in positions of power Because they know him, because they paid him a lot of money. Musk is where he is right now, not because he's any good, but because he pumped a lot of money into Trump's campaign. That's why he's at his. I need to know what Musk has on.
Speaker 1:What is the South African equivalent to? To Santaria? I know it's Voodoo, but it's probably different parts of Africa. What is going on? Who does Musk know Like I just don't understand this control that he has. But just to the point where it's, it's really impacting people's lives and livelihood and, again, dei isn't affirmative action. It's not creating laws and policies so that certain people actually have a chance. It's like the people are here. Let's make sure that we have environments that are conducive to like everyone just being the best, just having a chance. You know it's not leveling the playing field.
Speaker 2:But they don't see this. I go to any company that has a dei policy. You look at their workforce, you look at every single level and the hiring you go like you don't see a lot of diversity within. So DEI is not taking opportunities away from you. The numbers are not even moving that much. I worked in legal for so long Like and they've had, they've had DEI for like decades Like the number of the number of associates, like you know, like from like years to like five. They increase. They've increased a little. When you get to like the partnership rank, like meaning you know that's when you have equity, that's when you know you're making the big bucks. Those numbers might have moved from the 80s to today, like 0.1%. So I don't know where they think. Like you, you go in any of these places. There's a lot of spaces, you go into you don't see a lot of diversity. Nope, just don't like dei was trying to help with that because they say diverse teams are stronger yeah they don't care.
Speaker 2:You know it's like, if no yeah, I'm just but people love it right, because it's like you know, the white man needs to be back on top, as if he was ever on the bottom and again like what is, what is this, what is getting rid of it ultimately gonna do?
Speaker 1:because, at a rate, even just males in general, they're not enrolling in schools like they used to, even in the job force, and so it's just like this is not gonna help them. You are taking down barriers that aren't even there. Just clear barriers, child, just clear barriers. I don't get it. All this dei DEI is just blocking Caucasian greatness, I guess. I guess that's what's happening, that's what it is, yeah it's just very stupid.
Speaker 1:But yeah, the Marine Band, established in 1798, is the nation's oldest continuously active professional musical organization, traditionally performing for the president and the commandant of the Marine Corps. This recent executive order have led to the cancellation of this and potentially other events associated with DEI initiatives, and so I was a little bit curious, right? So this is for the Marine Corps, or whatever, and so you don't want BIPOC babies performing, but you eventually want them to be in your armed forces. And so I was like let me take a look at the racial makeup of the Marines, just out of curiosity. So it is 72.9% white, non-hispanic, but then when you get to the Hispanic or Latino numbers, it's approximately 19.9%. That percentage is actually higher than the percentage of Hispanics in America, which is 19.5%, which is wild. And then for Black African American it's approximately 8.7%, and our actual percentage in the United States is 14.4%, so it's over half if we're comparing percentages. Oh, but the baby's campaign, you're playing your band, right?
Speaker 2:Mm-mm, absolutely. It just feels cruel to me. The rationale doesn't make sense, like there are other things going on. Yeah, that's why I think this whole DEI thing is just a smokescreen right. There's other shit that's happening. He's trying to dismantle the federal government.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but no one's paying attention to that. There are a lot of things he's putting into place that people think, well, it's not going to impact me until it actually does impact them. Yes, like DEI doesn't just impact like people of color, it impacts people with disabilities, it impacts veterans, it impacts a whole lot of people.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:You know, you know. So if you have a kid with the, what is it? One of those like IEP plans in the schools? Whether you're white or black, that impacts them as well.
Speaker 1:Yep plants in the schools.
Speaker 2:Whether you're white or Black, that impacts them as well. But all they think like we're just so focused on Black people are just so focused on. If this benefits Black people, we don't care who else it benefits. We need to dismantle it.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's definitely systemic and it's definitely it's the same with welfare.
Speaker 2:We're not the majority of people on welfare Black people are the majority people on welfare. But it benefits us, so we have to attack it and dismantle it.
Speaker 1:That's all a conspiracy. I hope you are all happy, those that have voted for Trump. I hope you are all happy.
Speaker 2:It's a cult, so they are happy when you're in a cult. It's a cult, so they are happy. When you're in a cult, it's not rational. You think everything that's happening, it's not going to impact you, it's for the better of whatever, this country is going to hell in a hand basket.
Speaker 1:Okay, it's going to go fast, okay, I'm just really just I got to get myself right, not to say the lord, but I gotta get myself right, okay, just in case it comes, because at this point I don't know what's gonna happen. It just all doesn't seem real. And also, the new season of Black Mirror is coming out next month, so I need to see the first and the second. Yeah, you need to go because first and the second? Yeah, you need to because it's happening. It's happening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right For my last story. Back to another Megan. I am titling this Run, megan, run. So Jonathan Majors, oh, jonathan Majors, I don't know what he did to who, because this man has been on I'm a Negro campaign for a while. Okay, his outfits have improved from March on, selma realness, and Megan has made him look really good. He's eating cheddar biscuits at the Red Lobster. He's going to all of the events you know maybe Essence Fest, naacp, he's out there. He's really blacking it up. At first he used to look like, oh my goodness, all these blacks, but he's gotten used to it now and I think somehow she did help rebrand his image. Almost almost had me kind of forget. This man is a fucking abuser, right. So he, he has a movie. He had a movie that he did a while ago called magazine dreams. I saw the trailer and I was like, wow, this looks really good. But I don't know what he did to who.
Speaker 1:But something popped up recently. So there is an audio an unreleased audio obtained by Rolling Stone magazine where he admitted to strangling his ex-girlfriend. The conversation was captured in the aftermath of the days-long fight between Majors and his then-girlfriend, professional dancer Grace Jabari, in September 2022. The Marvel actor had been living with Jabari in London as he filmed the second season of the Disney series Loki, where he allegedly became angry at Jabari. Became angry at Jabari. According to a since-settled civil lawsuit filed by Jabari last April, she alleged Majors slammed her into a car, dragged her back inside their home and strangled her, and the unearthed audio tapes captures Jabari confronting Majors about the alleged attack in the following days. Okay, I'm gonna recreate this a little bit, majors, I'm going to recreate this a little bit. Majors, I'm ashamed of ever.
Speaker 1:Major begins before cutting himself off.
Speaker 3:I've never been aggressive with a woman before. I've never aggressed a woman. I aggressed you.
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:Who talks like this?
Speaker 2:That man is not real. He's a clone.
Speaker 1:Something's wrong with him. I've never aggressed a woman. I aggressed you Child. There's something wrong with this man?
Speaker 2:Is he reading from a script Like I don't understand this. He thinks he's a clone.
Speaker 1:Like there's no charm. So she says you strangled me and pushed me against the car. Jabari interjects and he says says yes all those things are under-aggressed. Yeah, that's never happened to me what is? All these things are under-aggressed. What?
Speaker 2:she released that. She released that audio. But she's like you, ain't you never gonna let you live this down?
Speaker 1:because he got off. I guess he just likes some, maybe community service or whatever. And then she says because I said something sarcastically in your eyes, Jabari says. He says, well, clearly, it's more than that. And she says something inside of you. He said, yeah, towards you. Major agrees. Before the recording ends Girlbot, what does that even mean? What does that even mean? Absolutely not. I don't know who he did to what, but I felt like this man was clawing his way out of just spending so much time with Black people, all that sacrifice, and they just popped out and showed him.
Speaker 2:You know what, though? He would have been back on top, and he left Megan behind and gone right back.
Speaker 1:You know that's what I don't understand what Megan is getting out of this that you can't really love. Like you sat in the courtroom you heard a recording where he expected a white woman to be Coretta Scott King sis.
Speaker 2:We like to uphold our Black men, even when they might not do the same for us. We fight for them. We are on the front lines defending them, thinking they're misunderstood. Maybe she thinks because it was a race thing, you know, the woman might have brought them to. I don't care if she did. I don't care what she did, but I don't care either. You could say stuff to her, but to your hands or something. That is disrespectful. That's crazy. Something's wrong with you. That's crazy. I'm a whole adult. Like don't put your hand on me. That's crazy. And he has a history Like that's the thing. Like abusers, if you've done it once, that means you've done it before and you'll continue doing it.
Speaker 1:He has a history of doing these things and so you know, going back to when he was in college, and so you know I don't get men who hit women. I understand the psychology behind it. What I don't understand is Megan making that choice to be with him. I wish her good luck, but I don't know how you can ignore this and want to be tethered to this man. There's probably something in it for what I don't understand how her being linked to an abusive man does anything for her career or anything for her profile. And this is someone who, for the most part, really hasn't had too much. I mean, there was a time where she dressed kind of skanky to be a first lady because her husband was a pastor but I mean, maybe like again going back to like people wanting to be relevant in the limelight, like before this.
Speaker 2:Were we really talking about megan good? No, now we are. Now she's like she's top of mind.
Speaker 1:I hope they go to their separate domiciles and they just hang out together. However, I have noticed in the pictures like she just looks. Megan has always had a great body, but she's looking a little thinner and I feel like that's and just like working out, almost like thin, muscly, like the hard-faced women that he normally goes for, and so I just feel like he's trying to like turn her into that, when her body is just beautiful the way it was. I don't know, maybe I'm just looking too much into things, but yeah, so good luck to Megan Run. Girl run, I don't know how you can still hold your hand besides this man, because you know, if his career was on the up and up, he would not even fart in your direction. We need to love ourselves more as a whole. Yeah, well, that's it for a normal, not so normal-ish.
Speaker 2:I wanted to talk about weird shit. Yeah, so I wanted to talk about weird shit, yeah, um so almost like dystopian, oh okay all right, I think. I think all my stuff is dystopian. There's this article I saw where scientists have apparently created a woolly mammoth mouse, so a mouse with mammoth DNA. So we can't solve our actual problems, but we're going to make a prehistoric furball. And.
Speaker 2:I know it's a company called Colossal Biosciences. It's a company that's been talking about de-extinction, so bringing back the woolly mammoth, that's like top of their list. You know, bringing back the woolly mammoth, the Tasmanian tiger and even the dodo and their whole, I mean the whole mission is basically Jurassic Park with grant money and better PR. And now so this is this mouse, allegedly is just, it's a test subject, right, a way to see how mammoth genes express in a living organism before they go, you know, before they go on to the full thing, before they go full ice age and remix it with elephant. Because I think that's what they're going to do. They're going to take that mammoth gene and put it into, you know, their closest relative, the elephant, and do that.
Speaker 1:But for why? I don't understand why, I don't know I didn't care what the mammoths were doing before how? What does it make sense? Does it make to be a mouse? But you have mammoths like you inside. You're a mammoth but you can't do mammoth things because you got mouse parts.
Speaker 2:Okay, look, I'm 5'10 in my in my heart, but my five, one and three quarter body won't do it I just think, like every time I see something like this, I'm just like yo, we are so unserious, right, like we are just so unserious. We have, like climate change. We have. You know, billionaires are building bunkers like we can't even get healthier figured out, and someone's in a lab being like yo, how do I fucking create a mammoth? You know? First of all, when it comes to mice, they breed like crazy. So there's something wrong with this shit. We are fucked. Yes, we are so, because they just they like. They just breed like crazy. So there's something wrong with this shit. We are, yes, we are so because they just they like, they just breed like crazy mice.
Speaker 1:We're called mice myths yes, we're not.
Speaker 2:We're not curing diseases, we're not saving coral reefs, we're just. This is what we're doing. This is what we're doing with science. We're not ending world hunger. I don't even understand it, and I know people are saying like, oh, we need to understand evolution. I'm like, okay, that's cool and all, but this like I like?
Speaker 1:I don't, absolutely not. Is this getting federal funding? Is this going to be pulled? So they're pulling all these these programs and stuff like that for things that we actually need First of all it might be getting federal funding, because something like this is right up the Department of Defense alley, right.
Speaker 2:So if we can do something like that, I don't know what else we could think through. So I'm always like if we, how are we going to end? You know, is it I? We're going to be taken over by like my smiths, just my smiths.
Speaker 1:What can I? Understand they're not going to have like tusks, like the mammoths. They don't have the size, so you're just gonna have a mouse with like a mammoth complex. I don't understand what?
Speaker 2:first of all, has no one seen Jurassic Park? Like Jurassic Park? That's true. Okay, that's true. Movies are there with animals taking over. There's a show called Zoo. I heard about that show. Is it good? It is good, where, pretty much you know, animals evolve, they hate men, they hate men, they hate man because we are. We kill them, we hunt them, we take away their habitat. Um, there was. It came to a point where, like, they had to segregate, like you know, it was like one part, it's like a small portion was like just for, um, humans, and then animals had another side, so and they were like these underground places where you could still go to eat beef, but she had to like super secretive and it's like it was like I heard.
Speaker 1:that was good. Let me check that out.
Speaker 2:It was good. It was good. But Cause TV I can see that happening Cause I think mother nature is like I hate y'all, like I hate y'all, we're like. We're like the mammoth mice, the mice myths, mice, mice myths.
Speaker 1:Yes, I just don't see the point, like I don't see the point.
Speaker 2:I don't like. I am not a science hater, right Like there's just there's so many good that's been done in all of that. But when you hear about billions being used for certain things, it's like I get it, but can we take care of people first? Can we make sure that we're healthy? We have access to all of this. We have access to health yeah, there's no food deserts.
Speaker 1:We should be trying to find, like like agriculturists, to find like different areas where you can grow food and cultivate it, like there should be other ways to use science we're so like we don't care about, we don't care ultimately about survival, like I don't think we do, because if we do things differently.
Speaker 1:You would not be selling 19 strawberries, no, if we cared about survival. And I don't think we do, because if we do things differently, you would not be selling 19 strawberries, no, if we cared about survival and I don't give a shit about, like you know, the history of our evolution.
Speaker 2:If I can't afford housing, yeah, and food, like I don't give a shit, like I don't care it's real like.
Speaker 1:So people are living in hotels. Now that's how living in cars?
Speaker 2:yeah, that's how bad it is, and every year it gets worse. You know, and these companies are like regular profits, but we're gonna lay off half of our employees. We're gonna replace you with ai and I'm always like who's gonna buy your shit? Like who's going to buy it? Like I don't even understand, like consumers and we can't afford it they don't fit beyond, like the next quarter?
Speaker 2:and how much profits can I squeeze like five years from now, when, like who knows how many percentage of the population is unemployed and like don't have housing or base, like who's gonna buy your shit?
Speaker 1:yeah you know, no girl, I have to stop my amazon, so I was just buying shit just because it didn't make no sense. But also we're supposed to be kind of boycotting with, like the target amazon. I forgot all the yeah, so definitely, target was easy for me. I don't go to Target like that. Amazon was harder, though I don't be watching stuff on Prime anyway, so that's fine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't go on. There are people who are buying stuff from Amazon like every other day. It can be like that Like where they're telling people you know, probably can't completely boycott these places, but be more intentional, right, you really need those jeans, like, you really need like that cute bracelet. You know, just, there's a lot of stuff that we just don't need, and I'm guilty of this. I bought shit that I don't need.
Speaker 1:Girl, I am so guilty and I'm trying to like, and then I get I'm like you know, and like I don't need this, you know, and so I'm definitely trying to declutter and then that's it, like I don't, I don't want it anymore, I don't, I don't. Yeah, you know, shout out to the mysmiths the the mysmiths.
Speaker 2:There's so much stuff we do that just seems like it's just counter, survival counter, just yes, as a whole in all realms.
Speaker 1:And you know they want us to be sick, sad and broke. But at the same time, if we all like as you're saying, if we're all that way, then who's gonna buy, who's gonna consume, who's gonna be your audience?
Speaker 2:it's gonna be no one left there was a show I was watching where I guess the major event happened. It wiped out most humans. They're living in this, they've created a society, but it's not a lot of them. Amazon just keeps dumping packages. They just keep dumping. No one is asking for it, but they just keep dumping. It wasn't Amazon, but some company, but you know it was Amazon. The things that deliver the packages of the ai. Like it just keeps. It's like once you put it but no one is. They don't need this shit. Like yeah, the world, like the world is over, like everything is gone, you don't need. What am I? I'm gonna wear a nice dress when I can't even eat. Shout out, looky here.
Speaker 1:Okay, we're not long-term here, I don't know how we last this long, but we're very unserious people, like you said, just very unserious people, yeah, so we've gone quite a bit. So I did have something to talk about briefly, in the kind of the vein and what we normally talk about, which is, you know how you talked about project stargate using psychics, um, just by, well, you know, that's up my alley. So I looked up, uh, something called project jedi, because there were several other projects before that and they all kind of kind of went into one, and so actually there is a movie that was inspired by Project Jedi called the Men who Stare at Goats, in 2009. So, um, the Project Jedi, um was a part of the broader set of military experiments into new age psychic techniques, remote viewing and super soldier training. The general idea is the military wanted to see if soldiers could develop paranormal abilities, and these paranormal abilities were stopping an enemy's heart just by staring at them.
Speaker 1:Oh child, I wish I could do that. Just be like bitch, what you say, um. Another one is um walking through walls. Now I wonder how they tested that, like you got to test these things right. So people crashing into walls, I don't know. Another one is becoming invisible. Another one is using telekinesis, moving things with their mind and the main one that we all know remote viewing, seeing things at a distance psychically. So what do you think about that? So like do you? I know we believe in like I don't need to believe in astrology and all those things, but what about paranormal psychic warfare?
Speaker 2:I totally believe in that. I think there's a lot of things we don't even understand, that science can't even understand, that the, the military is looking into that stuff, and there's like you got to go. There's like stuff that's deeper than that, right, if you look up the Monroe Institute and what they've been into, like, they're like a huge part of that. So if our military is behind this and looking into it, I think there's a lot to it and I believe in all of it.
Speaker 1:I believe in it too, and I definitely think there's this push to kind of link these things to it being evil or the devil, and it's not necessarily that this all depends on whose hands you put it in, I mean, you know, but people actually do have gifts, people actually can do things and if we harnessed it correctly, I think we can heal and be better as a people on a whole other, different level. But of course you know, as a whole, we just take things and right it's, like, you know, voodoo, right?
Speaker 2:this was the religion of our ancestors. Villainize it. You know, we say this is why bad things happen. Like, like what, if you think about it. What has christianity done for you? Right, like you know, and we say this is why bad things happen, like, like what, if you think about it. What has Christianity done for you? Right, like you know, they justified invading these countries because they wanted to bring the Lord to the heathens. How did that work out for you, right, like? You have a whole continent with so many resources, but yet it's so poor and somehow the people who have access to those resources are not even from there. So I'm like, how is that Christianity really working for you? Right, like voodoo's the villain, really. But Christianity is going to save you.
Speaker 1:Yes, but before, when we had our own religions, weren't we kings, weren't we queens? Weren't we thriving? Yeah, until this foreign man's religion came in and just totally brainwashed us.
Speaker 2:I'm like yo if the rapture ever happens, every single christian is when we let them. Not all of them, but there's a lot of them, there's. There's a good amount of them. There's. There are some good with. So there's a good amount of them. There are some good ones though, yeah, but I think if the rapture were to happen, like Christians say it will, I think about 90% of them will be left behind.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, especially those that voted for Trump. You're getting left behind.
Speaker 1:I just think a lot of stuff that is tied to Christianity is just it's not good, it's not good, it's just not. And then, as soon as you have little tarot cards, oh, it's the devil, bring it a garlic and a cross Child, let me.
Speaker 2:They justified slavery because of some obscure passage.
Speaker 1:Yeah, slavery because of some obscure passage? Yeah, slavery. Blasphemy like abuse, like all kinds of things. The bible has been twisted and contorted, you know, to basically strip certain peoples of their humanity, and I would like to believe my god wouldn't want that, for at least my people, I don't believe that.
Speaker 2:If you're saying someone is pushing the message of love, the Bible contradicts that.
Speaker 1:Every time In the Bible. God is jealous. God is petty. God is smiting left and right, smiting children, siping out places. God is a hot-ass mess, okay.
Speaker 2:There are people who they take the message of love and all of that and they do believe in it and that's fine, but I don't think it's saving. I don't think Christianity is what's going to save the world. First of all, we're creating, we're resurrecting mammoths and dinosaurs.
Speaker 1:We got the anti-Christ Trump, we got mammoths and dinosaurs. We have people trying to stay alive and be insentient beings, so probably the evil can continue to perpetuate. The only good thing that we think about generations like dying off is that hey, we can start over new. But no, these people want to continue to perpetuate the fucketry and they're using science and whatever to. They don't want to die, they don't want to let it go, they just want everything you know, and that's why they're building these bunkers.
Speaker 2:Have you watched that new show with that guy?
Speaker 1:Not Severance, not Severance. I need to watch the second season. You need to watch it. I just got into it. I didn't want to have to pay for the episode, but I did and it's so. I need to finish up the second season. I have like want to have to pay for the apples, but I did I need to finish?
Speaker 2:up the second season. I have like two more episodes left.
Speaker 1:The first season was wild, so we could do a whole episode on severance. Maybe we should. We could do a whole episode.
Speaker 2:But there's that new. It's a show by that guy, it's this black guy is it called Paradise? Paradise, yes.
Speaker 1:Hulu. I don't have the Hulu.
Speaker 2:First of all, there are a lot of shows about these rich people who are, you know, who are creating offset societies. You know we're obsessed with like the Mars and the moon and all that creating colonies up there. If they can get that shit worked out, I hope we're being left behind.
Speaker 1:Can I put my reservation on Affirm or Klarna? No. I doubt it, okay, well then, I am screwed. We're screwed, we're screwed.
Speaker 2:It's almost comical. You're going to have all these billionaires up there. And no one wants to do anything. No clue on how to do anything, because people do stuff. What's that show?
Speaker 1:don't look up oh, that's a movie I don't think I've seen that it will be the movie.
Speaker 2:Well, any of the the rich people manage to escape to another planet, to one of the goldilocks planet, and then just they get there and get eaten because they're stupid. Yeah, they see it's like, oh, what is that? And they just get eaten. So we went on all sorts of tangents.
Speaker 1:We did go on all sorts of tangents, so I will skip to. Okay, the goat staring experiment, the most infamous part soldiers were supposedly trained to stare at goats and try to kill them with their minds. Some reports claim a goat actually dropped dead from this experiment, though some people say it's exaggerated. The goat was already sick. I mean, why? I like goats, why we gotta do this to goats. There's no other. I mean, no animal deserves that, but you know anyway. So there are a few people behind it. Um, jim channing, who was the he proposed idea of the first earth battalion, a military unit trained in psychic powers, alternative healing and Jedi-like abilities Like this. Could I mean we have like Marvel and stuff like this, but this would be a cool like actual action movie of like the First Earth Battalion. He literally wrote a manual about turning soldiers into enlightened warrior monks.
Speaker 2:Wow, that's interesting. I just found that they do a lot of experimentation on people. Like, who are they doing these experiments on? That reminds me of Wolverine from X-Men, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1:But here's the thing, though. This is why this wouldn't work, because if you have these powers and you have these abilities, I just think you would naturally be someone that's healing and go towards the light. And so him saying, like you don't think so, enlightened warrior, monks like I that seems like an oxymoron to me. Like enlightened monks? Sure, an enlightened warrior? How, like? How do you decide?
Speaker 2:if you're still, you can be enlightened and not really be about the common good but that wouldn't make you enlightened well, what is okay? What is in like when we say enlightened?
Speaker 1:I just I just think, in terms of having a certain awareness about things, a certain knowledge, I associate it with a bit of a spiritual knowledge I just feel like it is.
Speaker 2:I feel like being enlightened means it's knowledge right, being able to see things for what they are, like you know, just beyond regular human understanding. You can do good with that or you can do bad with that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just think that I don't know. I think for the most part you have to get people that have these gifts or powers and definitely brainwash them, because for the most part, if you think about people that are truly gifted or talented in this kind of realm, a lot of time they're not rich people, a lot of the time like they see shit for what it is and it's like ah, I don't, I don't want to be bothered with these earthly things, you know. So to have someone and have these, these gifts, you kind of you have to pervert them and turn them in a way. I don't know if the two would be able to exist.
Speaker 2:You could also have a godlike complex that you know, because you might look at this world and be like you know these people are screwed because they're awful and they're just so mean to each other. Maybe your enlightenment might be like maybe they're not wrong for this earth, maybe we should just wipe it off and start again.
Speaker 1:Right, start playing. Yeah, I just in general. Once you are just aware it can, it can make you. There's a period where you get kind of disillusioned about things and that's a possibility. So, yeah, another officer was John B Alexander. Oh, john B, one of my favorite people, a military officer who was super into paranormal research and helped push these ideas with the pentagon. And then there's some other people they list and they were psychic spies from the Stargate Project which we've talked about, who also crossed paths with the Jedi warrior idea. So did any of this work? They say not really. Despite a few coincidences and claims, the military never created a squad of real-life Jedis. Eventually the government shut down these psychic warfare experiments, but some insiders claim research into consciousness, into consciousness, intuition and enhanced human abilities still goes on behind closed doors there's a lot of research that's going on that we don't know about.
Speaker 2:First of all, the pentagon. Their budget is like a true like in the trillions and there's a lot of it. They could never balance their budget right if they get audited. Thereited there's a lot of money that not that they can't account for, but they will not account for. So imagine I run a business and I get audited and I can't tell you where this billion dollar went.
Speaker 1:The IRS would be all up in that ass For real.
Speaker 2:So we have a crazy budget. That's one budget that will not get cut. No, but they like a crazy budget. That's one budget that will not get cut? No, you know. But they have a crazy budget and they there's a lot of it. It's tied into these black operations. You know that they it's like and they'll just say national security. Yeah, there's a lot of shady shit happening.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of stuff and again people will be talking about you know people that are into this stuff, or spiritual people, and they try to make you know fun of people like this. I'm kind of into stuff like this, but it's like y'all don't know, we don't, we don't know, you really don't know we live on this planet where there's so much of it like we haven't even explored.
Speaker 2:I just think there's. I think there's so much we don't know.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Everything is a theory. How the world like, it's all a theory, like we have no idea. We might even be a simulation, right, we might, we might About like these. You know creating these avatars and like living. So it's like Well, I wonder what simulation package I could About like these. You know creating these avatars and like living.
Speaker 1:So it's like Well, I wonder what simulation package I got. You know, I must not have had enough money. Wherever I have no money, the simulation is poor.
Speaker 2:Can you imagine right? It's like depending on how much you know you pay Like that's your lifestyle. Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's the money you have. That's like depending on how much you know you paid like that's. That's your lifestyle.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, that's the money you have. That's crazy. I would like to think I had money in a former life. I thought part of me hopes like this is just it's a simulation just to show these enlightened people, like I'm using enlightened, yeah, yeah, just to show this at this advanced. Like I'm using enlightened yeah, I'm using it Just to show this advanced society that's probably super peaceful. This is what happens when certain things are in play. You get earth, you get the ghetto, so maybe that's what it is. They peak here. They're like we're not going to do any of this shit where we are, but it's not I, it's not. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Maybe we get a lot here, though it is Well, that's all I have about the Jedi Project. So now we're on to shady astrology, where I get in your Zodiac's ass. It might still be Pisces season and I already got into Pisces ass. So we're we gonna talk about all this retrograding, and well, I'm not talking about the eclipses, but it's like eclipse season, we doing Mercury retrograde and Venus retrograde, so we got a lot going on, and that might explain why I had to get a new iPhone, because my 12 just conked out on me. Child, I was trying to hold on. Is that why things are?
Speaker 2:disappearing for me and then reappearing.
Speaker 1:Maybe, maybe girl, maybe girl. So right now, both Mercury and Venus are in retrograde. That's right, folks. The universe has officially put us on hard mode. So if you've been feeling like life is like a bad Wi-Fi connection, that's because Mercury, the comic glitch in the Matrix, is running the show, and Venus, oh, she's here to make sure your love life, bank account and self-esteem all take a synchronized nosedive.
Speaker 1:All right, look, venus is on some bullshit today. I complained about this on the Instagram because all these old ass men trying to talk to me today I don't want that. So I don't want that. Just hearing Sanford in the background, oh man, just I don't want to hear that. So Mercury and retrograde began on March 15th and will continue until April 7th 2025. And Venus in retrograde started on March 2nd and is expected to end on April 13th 2025. So for Mercury in retrograde, communication is fried, so you might be trying to send your little boo thing and I love you text. You might text your boss. Instead. Your GPS tells you to take a slight left and you end up going into a lake. That happened on the episode of the Office, by the way.
Speaker 1:And every email you will send mysteriously vanishes, but every embarrassing text from 2014 will resurface. And that's actually kind of true. That happened to me. Uh, venus, in retrograde love, beauty and finances also fried, okay, it's just all gone to shit, running into your ex and their new partner while wearing your worst outfit. That kind of happened to me. It wasn't an ex, but it was just somebody and I was like, oh, let me go out the house. I was just who, girl? I was looking. She's homeless, like someone. I was just looking hot ass mess. Okay.
Speaker 1:Um, your favorite hairdresser, uh, was taking a spiritual retreat the same week. You desperately need a glow up. Um, your online shopping curse. Everything looks amazing in the pictures, but arrives looking like it lost a fight with a raccoon. Um, so here's some tips to stay sane, or do the best that you can during this retrograde in time.
Speaker 1:Do not text your ex Mercury and Venus and Cahoots, and they want you to fail. Girl, you know that man ain't got no job. You know he living in the auntie and them's back in the projects. He ain't got no headboard. He got his sheets from bobby's, you don't? You better not text that man. Okay, not bobby's. Yes, bobby's department store if you know, you know, um, back up your tech.
Speaker 1:Your phone will act like it's possessed and honestly, it probably is. Let me tell you something. Okay, my iphone 12, which I'm trying to hold on to, I was like, look, you know, sometimes I gotta delete stuff and stuff would disappear, whatever. And then one day I was at work and I pressed the number nine and it went that's it, just a long ass beep. I said, oh, hell, no, it was shutting off all up and through. I said, oh, I gotta get a new phone. Oh, I got to get a new phone. I did not want to get a new phone.
Speaker 1:Hold off on big beauty changes. That haircut, you think, will make you look like a goddess. You will wake up looking like a dehydrated poodle. I was thinking about doing some lock bangs, but I don't know, I don't know how I feel about that. Hide your wallet. The retail therapy feels good, but venus will have you out here buying 300 crystal water bottles and thinking it's an investment or a 19 strawberry. So buckle up, folks. We're in for a bumpy, slightly ridiculous and completely unhinged cosmic ride, but we're all in this together. Just keep it in your pants, don't text your ex, and you know your stuff will be acting a little shaky for a while. But you're tech. I don't know if this any of this applies to you, so you don't have to worry about running into an ex or anything like that yeah, I would like my exes to not ever exist around me.
Speaker 2:I've been in this relationship for years. It's 2004. 2024 made 20 years. 20 years.
Speaker 1:Self. I've known you for 20 years. You have Actually more than 20 years. More than 20 years because I graduated from high school in 2002. You started at Skidmore.
Speaker 2:Well, skidmore we met. Yeah, it's been a very, very long time. Wow, junie in 2004, married in 2010. So, yeah, girl, I mean I have exes, but that's like a long forgotten memory, it's back history.
Speaker 1:Yes, okay forgotten memory, black history. Yes, okay. Well y'all. If you like the vibe, please make sure to like comment and subscribe. Until next time, y'all. Deuces.
