I told you where I'm streaming from, and I'm ready to talk to you. Alright, so look, listen. Um the last week was crazy, and and the world didn't slow down, and you would think that with you know the the powers that be doing the powers that need to be done, you would think that it would be a whole lot more relaxed, but um we are actually um continuing on with the nonsense and the buffoolery every single week. This week was no exception. So on this week today, we have the real Housewives of Atlanta season 17 that I will be um and listen, here's the thing about it. We um watched last week, and last week was part one of the reunion where we gotta look at, you know, Portia versus Kelly and everybody a little bit on the left side of the couch, which included Portia, Drew, Angela, and Phaedra, and and uh Cynthia Bailey. Right, so we got all of them that was on the left side of the couch that was going into me and um last week on part one of the reunion, and this week was a little bit crazy as well. It was no exception because as much as I wanted to give the women on the left side of the couch grace, um, they all, you know, wanted to, in one way or another, like like try to like go one for one on the people on the right side of the couch, which included Shamia, Kelly, uh uh uh what's the what's the lady's name? Uh she real K Michelle and who is the other one? Pinky. Alright, so um, without further ado, let me go ahead and um show y'all kind of a little bit of thing of what I mean and what I'm talking about, all right? Show y'all this and then I come right back, alright?
SPEAKER_29Next week on the Real House Rise of Atlanta reunion.
SPEAKER_03Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Now what else is going on?
SPEAKER_19All you do in this group, you damn right. If you got Ragadosh, you need to pay your damn bills. Either way, my mama don't be dancing in no hooper lounge in the middle of Atlanta calling her Jacob.
SPEAKER_03See, I don't know what happened. I don't know why we're freezing up. What's going on? Ooh, they don't want us to see. It's all good. I don't want to see no more anyway. So look, here's the thing. So, um, so with the with with what we saw um on this season on this episode of the reunion, it just was very um it was very daunting. And it was it was very bad to watch Portia and as she kind of talked about so the thing about it is she was going in on Kelly and talking about some merry men and and you done did this with a merryman. How do you know what's between her legs? And how do you know? And how do you how do you how do you figure to speak on somebody like that? All right, um, I want to show look look at this. So with listen, look at so we have uh Drew, right? And this is TLC Drew, this is Disney Channel Drew. She made it clear this week who she is, and I think that she is a very outstanding um talented person. I think she has many talents. Um some include, you know, acting. Um and and that's great for her. It's great for the people that um, you know, get a kick out of it. But the thing is, when I looked at everything with Drew this this uh reunion, not only is she act looking different, but her, she just acting different too. Um I think that she's very pretty now. I think that she's gotten some work done, but I think that she has to watch the road that she goes down because right now it's just seeming a little bit like she's um like Portia's like her I don't know, like the new Porsche almost. It's like is Drew Sidora the new Porsche? And you already have a name, you had a name since the game, and that's the main reason why you know we rock with you. Um, timeout. Look at my look. I'm really representing today. You watching me? Um, I got this hoodie on. It's actually merged back. It's it's old. This is dated. Um, anyway, AHD. But look, so Drew's standing right here. Now, what's un what's interesting is that this is not even the look that she had on at the reunion. This is actually an alternative look that she had, and she showed us yesterday when she posted it. But I do like this style better because originally what she wore was like this rock star black dress with her hair down, and it was uh, and you know, like it's not too far off from what you know I'm showing you right now. But um I just wish that she would have worn this look and I wasn't alone in that sentiment. Now, um, in true housewives fashion, I got more. I want to show y'all. I already, you know, just like they say, I got an ace up my sleeve. That other video didn't work, but boom, I got another one. Check this out.
SPEAKER_20I was phaser. I didn't do that. Can you tell us who the people were? I got stuff like from Nash. And even there's a hairdresser. I know this is a group about friendship, but we can't sit up here and act like people don't go pull things on each other.
SPEAKER_29Okay. You know, the the MO from the viewers were like you would be insane, you would run away and start blasting off on Twitter. I'm assuming that you regret that.
SPEAKER_20I definitely own that I had more experiences off camera than I had on camera. For over 10 years, any thoughts of random situations within me, I've always tweeted them, good or bad, within my career. There was no change, but instead of just tweeting how I felt, I should have sat there. People think I'm very confrontational, but I'm really.
SPEAKER_29You seem very sensitive. You seem overly sensitive. Why did you take Portia's miscarriage comment as her shading you?
SPEAKER_20It was only an hour out of the hospital, and I'm telling you what's going on, and you're both sitting out and saying, Was it a miscarriage? You know, what if it was?
SPEAKER_24Your intention was to usher her from the hospital into a safe space. Okay. I was sitting there with people who I trust. When you were telling the story, you kind of went around what exactly it was. But you had talked about fertility. And I'm a woman who has had fertility issues, I'm a woman who's also had miscarriages, and you're in a group of women who have uteruses and other things like that.
SPEAKER_20This is my first time being in the circle with Padre and with Cynthia, and the first thing to come out with the random people on the other side of the wall getting their tumbles done is did you have a miscarriage?
SPEAKER_24I represent Martin's. Had for many, many years. My dumber is a rainbow baby. And so I really would have hoped at that time when we had that sit down, you could have understood that I was being authentic with that. Again, here now. I apologize, and I still never meant that to be that way.
SPEAKER_20I'm gonna accept your apology. And then in that moment when I'm speaking on it and I'm bringing it back up, I'm not saying that I crucified Portia. I was live speaking about what was going on and how I felt in that moment. I also will take accountability for that as well. Okay, so you were tweeting like you're in the confessional store.
SPEAKER_29Yes. Can I give you a piece of that? Don't do that. Trying to act like she don't know.
SPEAKER_03But you know, shout out to Portia. She um, I think she went to school in Lathonia, Georgia. Um, yeah, so that's the thing. So y'all saw the clip. So I don't know. Y'all let me know down in the chat. But me personally, I feel like that um number one, aside from the point of what I was originally saying, I do believe that this is a very, very, very good working cast. Like, I don't think that they should touch anything on this cast, at least for another one season or two. So that would be at give them all of the ladies that we see on this reunion, give all of these ladies one more season. So season 18, and then after season 18, I feel like we need to let the reunion drama play out, let the reunion get filmed, and then we should make an assessment on who should come back and who should be left, you know, out of the mix. I think that, you know, interesting enough, I believe that all of these women have um, I believe all of the I believe all of these women um actually deserve another shot. I like Cynthia as the friend of the only dilemma that I see actually is the fact that we want Nini back, obviously. I mean, they have the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls trip, which is out now, but um even with that being out, we only seen a little glimpse of Nene. And and I'm grateful because, you know, they could have just said no, and they could have just been like, oh, we're not gonna include her. But um, but they definitely made sure um that she was included. It's just, you know, when it comes to, you know, housewife fans and I think Atlanta, you know, franchise in general, it's such a a tough crowd. We love we love the show and we love everything that it stands for. But um, before I move on from this clip, I do want to just say that in this clip, I don't know how genuine I felt about it. I don't believe that Portia was being sincere, and I also don't think that um this friendship is going to be authentic. I feel that this friendship between Portia and Kate Michelle, I think that it is going to be like overly produced, and I believe that it's going to be a very give and take type of situation. And I love both of them individually. They both have their bonuses, they both have their points. I love Portia, I love Kate Michelle. I just think that them together, um, they make for good TV, but I don't see a real friendship. I don't really think that we have many real friendships on this cast. I mean, I think they are good TV. That is the reason why I said we should keep them. But I think that this whole cast as a whole, um, I think that you got pairs, and that's the beautiful thing about it. You have Portia and Phaedra together, and of course, obviously, they, you know, ran the show back in its glory days. You have who are the other two? Angela and Drew. Those are the two Chicago women, actually. They they both happen to be from Chicago, Illinois, and they are very good friends. And then you have, who is that? Pinky? You got Pinky and you got Kay Michelle, who were frat sisters, Delta, um, and they they Greek sisters. So, I mean, you know, that that says everything you need to know about their friendship, right? And then you have Kelly and Shamia, of course, and I think that they are a very good peanut butter jelly duo as well. So ultimately, I just want to say that um I'm appreciative that we found a really good cast. And with that being said, let's see what Cynthia has said. As good as your last season, Chad.
SPEAKER_32But I I want everyone, I know I heard Andy said everyone's back. You heard that.
SPEAKER_30Um, I definitely saw him say that this was the cast. Yes, and it was a photo that I was in. So um I am a part of that as well. Okay, great. You heard it here.
SPEAKER_31Obviously.
SPEAKER_30And they keep you know, they keep asking me the ultimate girl's friend. You know, no matter what, you know, it's always would you go back as a housewife? Would you go back as a housewife? Like, honestly, the most fun I've ever had in my entire history of doing housewives as a housewife. Season 17 is a friend of this of this. Yeah, this is the sweet spot. Because I'm not an idiot. I'm not gonna say that. I may wake up next week and say, hey, you know what? I want to be a friend, but I love the space that I'm in now. And I'm just gonna keep listening I embedded the friend contracts. I embedded friendship contract. So this is like I feel like in some way I've manifested the space for myself. And the good news is I'm able to do other things. I just worked the movie, by the way. So speaking of like being being able to do other things, like it it works for me. This is my age of on the road to sixty.
SPEAKER_03Right, so and that's the thing. So I do appreciate how with Cynthia, um, she can she can bring a breath of fresh air. She's like a nice good sip of water, if you know what I'm saying. Um however, I think she can be biased at times, and I think there's certain women on this current cast that she loves filming with, as she just said. I think there are certain women who she is biased against for whatever reason. And if I was to make any assumption, I would just say due to her um invisible alliance with, you know, women that she already did the show with. So obviously, you know, use your noggin. That would be PMP, you know, freaking frag, right? Um Cynthia did talk a little bit about season 18. So again, you know, I think that I am rooting for if anybody, if you can get in contact with Andy, tell him that we want, and I've been reading the comments on X and on all of the social medias, alright? Everything, Mark Zuckerberg and everything, not Zuck Mark Zuckerberg, I've been reading everything. So everybody pretty much has said that this is a very good cast, and we agree as a whole that K Michelle came around at the end. Well, midway, midway, before Scotland, and like right before Scotland, um, and then right at you know, as we got to the season finale, we seen K Michelle pop out. And then when we get to this reunion, we see red hair K Michelle. And if you know, you know, right? So um, yeah, I'm excited about seeing all of the ladies return, and allegedly all of their contracts have been mailed out. Mm-hmm. You heard it here first. Um, that's what I was t that's what um that's what yeah. So I'll I will be watching and I can't wait to report back and let y'all know who got the red, the red ticket, the golden ticket, and who got a pink slip, right? Look at this. Look at this, miss. Um uh what's my girl name? Pinky? So look, so my girl Pinky came on here and was just clowning. Um talk about some. And you know why she put this, right? You know why Pinky made this reel on Instagram saying Netflix documentary on how everyone announced my pregnancy before I did. So, Claudia Jordan I'm sorry, and shout out to Carlos King podcast um of Reality with the King. Um, shout out to that podcast. But Claudia Jordan on the panel for that amazing show. And her big mouth. I don't personally had respect in society enough to not announce when somebody is pregnant. I do feel that that is a violation of boundaries, but I love that Pinky can always laugh things off in her little uh sports bra. And look, look, watch this one. Can y'all guess what I'm having? She's having a boy or a girl. She made an Instagram reel asking is she having a boy or a girl? And guess what? Am I having a girl or a boy? What you think? Is she having a boy or girl? I feel like she having a um both, actually. I feel like she's having twins. You know, don't get meted on. Um, hold on. What proof at least left with married men? This is a shit.
SPEAKER_24We can go there. I'm I'm not lying. I'm the one who actually read the text perfectly. Bring it.
SPEAKER_21Oh my The Atlanta Reunion Part 2. Sunday on Bravo and Peacock.
SPEAKER_03Only on Bravo, okay. Um, no, but my thing is I I do appreciate. Um, I don't know. I just really feel like that we don't need to make any changes to the cast. Like, that's just how I feel about it. Um, I like how all of the peaches are keeping it juicy, though. They are keeping it juicy. Look, check this out. Look. Oh, oh, oh, oh, boom, boom. Yes, come on now. Okay. All right, Miss Moore. Oh, and you know what? Do I um hold on. Y'all, guess what? We're gonna talk. Um, I told y'all this is gonna be a legendary show. Now, look, this is something that I want y'all to pay attention to. Instead of, you know, you know, Andy, and shout out to my boy Andy Coyne, because guess what? We actually happen to have the same birthday, and we're from the same hometown. Um, shout out to him. But look, what I was about to say is, you know, he usually ignores and avoids whenever he is being asked about something. You know, him and a few of his housewife, housewives are they are notorious, they are known to deflect the question, but he didn't deflect when asked about Kenya. And oh, and you know, and speaking to Kenya, look, right here I got Kelly in the comments. So I got a post that Insta um Graham got from no, I'm lying, X Twitter got from um this one page that I follow. And shout out to the RHOA talk too, by the way. Um, they are really good at keeping up. Uh go follow them on Twitter. Um, but anyway, so look, they posted this vid this um Instagram shot from uh Kenya. And in this shot, we got Kenya right here with her hair all out and stuff. She's been doing a thing. Y'all need to go follow Kenya because she's been posting some cute stuff lately. Um y'all Shamia over here too, and she's making her post. So basically, y'all telling me that once we get Kelly, I mean Kenya back on the show, y'all mean to tell me that this is who she's gonna be with. She's gonna be on the on the um the 18 with Shamia and Kelly. Okay, got it. And then Nene, we gotta figure out how we're gonna get Nene. Y'all drop a chat down and drop a crown too. Oh, um, let me know how can we get Nene back on the show? Mm. Mm-mm. How we gonna get her back on the show? And speaking of Kenya, I can't just not mention her her arch nemesis now. Shout out to TMZ. Shout out to TMZ.com. They have um they have done our dirty work for us over at Majestic MJ. And guess what they did? They went ahead and found the divorce stuff from um previous RHOA cast member. Her name is Brit Edy, and she is filing a divorce from her husband. Yes, yes, she is. She is filing a divorce from her man. Her well, they wanted to have kids, but they didn't get around to it. But so I was about to say her big daddy. But um, but yeah, so she is filing a divorce from him. Now they did not mention specifically the reason why they get in a divorce, but they did go on record saying that it is on both sides. Now I don't believe it's on both sides. You know why I don't believe it's on both sides? Because they both have something to gain and they both got something to lose from this. But not only that, we both know that that when it came to Britty, she had a very sketchy way of navigating the show. Um, when Brit E Edie was on, you know, the show Housewife uh RHOA, she didn't really make too much of like motion waves her own stuff, so she had to kind of like you know use other people. You know when you go on these shows and you don't have a storyline? Yeah, it's kind of like that. And then you kind of pick at other people, right? It's exactly like that. And no shade, and you know, not like that. Um but that just wasn't it. You know, she was picking with first she was friends with Kelly, right? That was her bestie. I guess Kelly is just the go-to, you know, for besties. So first Britt was, you know, friends with Kelly, right? They was like like this, right? The new freaking frack, right? More like freaking fraud, because her and Kelly broke up by the end of the season, and then you got Britt coming and poking at the Kenya Moore. Then when Kenya gives her that, you know, gives her the reason why how she got her name, then she wants to go cry cry victim, right? And now she's off the show, but before she even got off the show, she skipped the reunion, so she didn't even attend season 16 reunion. So, I mean, I don't really know what she's even fighting for, because now she has this divorce going on with you know her soon-to-be ex-husband Mike, and then she's also has this lawsuit, you know, with Bravo TV, you know, against Kenya. And that's actually allegedly the reason why Kenya's not on the show, and it's horrible. It's really horrible. This juice is good. Um, I love me some king more. You know, I I live in mm, never mind. But yeah, like, yeah, I think that she is really, really, really, really good for the show, and I think that with her being gone, her absence is felt. And I think when you add her back, because we are getting Miss Moore back, allegedly, sooner than later. Um, and when we add her back into the mix, things are going to be a lot to different and and much better, actually, in my opinion. Um, I want to go ahead and uh let me move on because I wanna um let me show y'all this clip right here. This is gonna be a clip, a small, small snippet. Um, I need y'all to go ahead and oh um um check this out. Hold on. Kelly from Minnesota. Andy, we need Kenya back.
SPEAKER_29Are you ever thinking about bringing her back? Well, I'll tell you this. I'm thinking about her all the time. I texted her last week about how much I missed her.
SPEAKER_03Mm-hmm. Yep, yep, yep. So look, you see it, you know what's going on. Don't act like that, don't make that face. And guess what? I ain't done either. So you know how I told y'all, I already alluded to it. I told you, I said Andy does not answer things when there's not anything in motion. But all things are alleged over here at Majestic MJ, and we are only doing this for entertainment purposes. Um, now check this out. Boom. Now, my girl is working, alright? They don't call her king and keep a bag more for no reason. Oh, shout out to Miss USA. She is giving back, and she is going to be having an event on Thursday, August 27th at 8 o'clock p.m. Eastern time. So we have Miss Kenya Moore as Miss USA, and she's going to be co-hosting her own event for as Miss USA live on the CW. So make sure you tune in on August 27th at 8 o'clock p.m. That is going to be Miss USA. And we need to go ahead and support Kenya so we can let the network know how much we want her back on the show. Um also, speaking of Peaches, we got Phaedra Parks posted a fit a photo with none other than the Jasmine Crock Crockett. She made a caption that said, they showed plenty of black and broke this season, but not nearly enough black excellence. Here's another scene you didn't get to see. Thank you to my good sis and good friend, the accomplished, intelligent, and beautiful Congresswoman. Jasmine for us. I guess that's her Instagram. Handle. For always representing the epitome of strong black educated women. Well, she said woman. Oh, she said of A. Okay. Anyway. So, um, oh, by the way, how could y'all gotta wake me up? Drop some crowns, drop some likes. Look, look, look, look, look. Um, I forgot to tell you. Um, guess what? So Phaedra is um, she's running for office. Phaedra has made her announcement and she said that she is running for office. Now Heavenly ran for office too. She didn't get it. Do y'all watch Married to Medicine? Let me know in the chat. But um, yeah, so if you don't know who that is, then you need to just do your research. But this is um Dr. Heavenly, I'm talking about. She also ran it. She's another one of our Atlanta, you know, reality stars who um does great work on the show, but um, so not so much, I guess, in the field of politics. However, I will say, and shout out to Heavenly, because I actually met her personally. She's very sweet and she's very passionate about what she does. And shout out to Smiles by Dr. Heavenly. Um, the thing about it is I don't I I know she made history. I know Dr. Heavenly made history when she ran. I know she got a lot of numbers. She had really high numbers and she made it really far. She didn't make it, but I do feel that Phaedra could be the golden knight in this. I feel like Phaedra can make it when it comes. I think she got it. I think she got I think she got something. I think that I'm interested to see what she brings and if she's able to um, you know, keep up with these politician people. Um that being said, let me go ahead and show you this back behind the scenes. I just thought this was cute. I want you to just look at this and I want to show you. I wanna I I just wanna show you. Um hold on, let me show you this.
SPEAKER_08I got the beat the left to go, got the beast to master that rolls, I got nice to master that go, got one night to stop for your gold, got the hands of my hands and roll minutes, no fan minutes, go you got the left me breed for you got the minute to go to break down the latest down late out three.
SPEAKER_03And then also speaking of like all of our peaches, like so also, wait, hold on, time out, time out. So going back, guess what? I feel like um I feel like when I watched this um the reunion, they looked really good. Um that's all now with um. Ah um I don't know if y'all remember, but uh on RHOA season 12, season 11 actually, rather. My fault. Um, we had Shamari DeVo who did her thing on the Housewives, and she's married to the legendary Ronnie DeVoe, of course, um, from you know the The Boys. What's the show? What is um no, what is um Ronnie DeVoe. New edition? New edition. But that BT movie was so good though. Um so you know, uh new edition, you know, Ronnie, and then Shamari is his wife, you know, she does her thing, but anyway, um, I don't really know what she did prior to if she did anything at all. But what we do know is that she made a post on the Instagram, and she posted, she said, nurse in the air, MSN behind my name 2026 on the TAF. Um, congratulations to her, and yeah, congratulations to her. Um, I think that that's amazing. You know, keep doing your thing, girl. Um, she already, I guess, clearly must have passed the NCLEX um because she got her, it says her MSN. So that is a master of nursing, in case you don't know. We're gonna educate you over here. Um, so yeah, that's that on that. And look at this right here. We got Miss Wendy.
SPEAKER_05How has this show not changed my life? I think that's a fair question. You know, I had my daughter who just turned seven, and she was three months when I started this show. So just the mere fact that I'm able to see my children grow up through the screen has been such a blessing, and I've absolutely enjoyed it. It's been it's high supplies, it's lows of lows, but through it all has been amazing.
SPEAKER_06But it's like Molly Home video. So season 10 of Potomac, there was a bit of a rough at the end.
SPEAKER_29So there was a narrative that emerged after the charges that oh she was trying to keep up, and this is what she did in order to do that. How do you respond to that?
SPEAKER_05I don't respond. People can have in there that's on them.
SPEAKER_29Um, it was reported that you have 67 credit cards under your name with multiple aliases.
SPEAKER_06And how will we see that play out on season 11?
SPEAKER_05I think the beauty of housewives, especially now that we're going into the 20th season, is you guys are able to see us in Alhamdulillah and in Al Natsu Hamas. And so in true housewise fashion, you guys will see the intricacies of all of that. And then I just can only be within. And that's when I am this season.
SPEAKER_06I I absolutely love that. And how was it having Cameron back this season after her palmas? What is that? After her palmas, how was it having her back?
SPEAKER_05It was really good having Cameron back.
SPEAKER_03Oh no, let me tell you something. Um when it comes to um when it comes to this this whole um Ultimate Girls trip, it just feels like something is missing. And I I believe that what's missing is our vets. We need Nene Leaks back. We need um we need the the the head honchos, and I think they should have been more involved, you know. However, enough housewives drama for the day. Um, because we already see that these are some juicy clips, and we just have to sit and buckle up for it. Um the biggest thing, the biggest thing is gonna be um I got I gotta tell y'all something, and I'm kind of scared to tell you. Um I'm gonna tell you anymore. We got the housewives of I'm sorry. We got the wizard of Waverly Place, and if you know, you know. Um they are beefing, y'all, from this new thing. Um I don't know what's going on, and I don't know why, and I don't like it. All right. Um, I uh I did a little bit of digging and I found a couple of answers, but from what I understand, everyone is mad at the brother, the oldest brother on the Wizards of Waverly Plays show. His name was Justin, and his real name is David Henry. Everybody's mad at David. You got the brother Max. Max is also mad um because he was left off of the show. Max is mad because he was left off of the show. Um Harper is mad because she was, I guess, um, left off of it. And you know what? The thing about it is she actually had a podcast about it. Um, she had a podcast, a Wizards of Waverly Place podcast that she ran with the dad, actually, from the show. And they were talking about it as, you know, the show was rolling out. Nobody stopped them, you know. You you could have silenced them if you didn't want them to, you know, um discuss it, but nobody stopped them. They kept, you know, talking about it. And eventually, um, you know, when it came time to film the show, they left off Harper, they left off the dad, they left off the brother Max. Pretty much the only person that was brought back was David, who happens to be the executive producer of Wizards of Waverly Place. Now, the new show is called Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. Many fans are upset and disgruntled because of the way the character the character is played out, such as um Selena Gomez's character, Alex Russo. Alex ended up with and tell me how this sounds to you. Alex Russo being a Italian half Italian and half Mexican young girl. And she ends up uh she for starters, she was just a rebellious teenager and who now in the reboot turns out to be this teen mom who got pregnant by the age of 19 and who also has a child with uh you know this this guy in prison who happens to be a black guy. And tell me how that sounds to you. I don't know about you, but to me it sounded a little um a little spooky-ooky, a little um iggly wiggly. I don't think that it was a good look, and I don't think that that's what we saw for Alex. I think for Alex Russo, what we saw was, oh, this chick is gonna, she's gonna grow up and she's gonna be a truck, she's gonna be trouble for the world. You know, she gonna be a big deal. That's not what happened though. Um her character didn't develop to be that, and we only saw in this reboot, we only saw David, we only saw Justin Russo's family. We only saw Justin Russo's family, and we only got to see it through his lens. And Billy, even being the main character, you know, um Alex Russo's daughter, she also, you know, was was not shown as much as the the seasons uh progressed. Why, I don't know. Um, but I do believe that now they say that Justin Russo was supposed to have his own show. He was gonna be a part of a different show. So what ended up happening is what we know as the Wizards of Waverly Plays was going to be rolled out and released as what was going to be called Meet the Amazing O'Malley's, allegedly. Now, Meet the Amazing O'Malley's would have had Justin Russo and Alex Russo as twins who were both main characters, right? That's not what happened. Alex Russo, aka Selena Gomez, went and did her audition for you know the Meet the Amazing O'Reilly O'Malley's. And when she did her audition, she blew it out the water so much that they said, we're gonna rewrite the whole show and we're gonna make you the main character. So then it became the Wizards of Waverly Place, where Alex Russo, as we know her, thrived, and she, you know, became this over-the-top character who stole the scene every time she walked into it. That's just what it is. Now, this is partially the reason why people have such an issue with David Henry, aka Justin Russo, because knowing that backstory of Meet the Amazing O'Malley's and how he was supposed to be the main character, the main star, and how he had to share the spotlight and then basically get kicked out of the spotlight when you know Alex Russo started to, you know, get bigger on me on uh Wizards of Waverly Place. You know, that's the reason why people think that when now fast forward in the future, when we have Wizards beyond Waverly Place, and he happens to be the EP as you know, well as Selena Gomez, who already on social media made it clear that she does not have or want too much of any part to do with anything. Um, I don't know. I just find it to be strange, I find it to be interesting. Um, but I I want you guys to um take a look at this clip and I'll come right back.
SPEAKER_41This is it. This is the end of Wizards of Waverly Place, the end of Wizards beyond Waverly Place, and it's really surreal to say that I'm I'm done playing this character.
SPEAKER_00You know, our hope of making this show in the first place, the continuation of the original show, was that it would be a big warm hug to the original fan, but at the same time welcoming a new generation.
SPEAKER_12I'm a wizard with stock. I'm very happy that I get to play this character because I think this is gonna be able to show people who may have been in my shoes or in Billy's shoes. It'll show everyone that they're not alone.
SPEAKER_36You did it.
SPEAKER_41I knew that you could.
SPEAKER_02I love how it shows you how important family is and how loving a family can be and how supportive a family can be. And that we'll always have each other's backs no matter what.
SPEAKER_34And I think that we're not only wrapping up the original show, but I think also our own show in these episodes and really giving a good, happy ending that we can feel happy about at the end of the day.
SPEAKER_32Filming with Selena was a mess. I was like crying all the time because it because it felt like saying goodbye to you in a weird way, like your teenage self. Like you could go back as an adult, give your teenage self a hug, and then let them go. That's kind of what it felt like.
SPEAKER_41And then I did my last scene as Alex, and she did her last scene as Harper together, which couldn't have been better.
SPEAKER_33Hello, Alex.
SPEAKER_23What are you doing here? I hope that all of the fans are able to take away the fact that family is so important and that rusos always have each other's backs.
SPEAKER_29I just love you all. So grateful.
SPEAKER_41It's the greatest group of people in front of and behind the camera. We've got to feel the family. My hope is that people follow them with family shows again, and that they hold this to a standard of of just appreciating what it means to just have a show that the whole family can get together, watch, hopefully, laugh. I'm gonna really miss that.
SPEAKER_29I want, two, three.
SPEAKER_03Um, ultimately, I do feel that this be Wizards Beyond Waverly Place was it had a lot of potential. And I think that so Todd J. Greenwald, which is a a key player from the original show, Wizards of Waverly Place, um, he went and he made a post, right? And he said, I can undo this terrible thing that happened with Wizards Beyond Waverly Place in the blink of an eye, basically. If I just rewrite the Whole script and Max had a drink, and this was all Max Drain. Right. Um, I think I would agree with that. I think I would be down for that, and I think I would like that. I just feel like when it comes to um these reboots, and we're gonna talk about another one a little bit, you know, in a in a minute. And we're gonna talk about another um one of these reboots that's happening. I just I'll just believe that it's it's it's not working. It's not working, and we're not we're not liking it. Um that's what's going on. Um I'm not too big a fan on all these reboots. I do think that some networks and some shows do it better because of the people that are signing on as EPs, executive producers, and the people that are the showrunners, the you know, the behind the scenes. If you can bring back all of the original people, then you can actually have a very interesting show that appeals to not only the generation that watched it growing up, but also the newer generation and modernize, you know, what we knew growing up. I think that like scream, like there is like certain movies that are out, but then when you think about like the networks, the shows that they're bringing back, it's hardly cutting it. Um we also are gonna talk never mind. But yeah, so that's what I'm gonna say about Wizard of Waverly Place drama. Um I don't even think I think that the next person that I want to talk about is actually so drama-filled, and it's weird and it's crazy, and um I don't I don't um really know what else really to say about this next person that I'm gonna bring up and talk about. But I will say that all things are alleged, and all things are alleged, and this person is not gonna be my favorite. I can tell you that right now. Um but we're gonna watch this next video and um I'm gonna come back on the screen.
SPEAKER_40Love and hip hop star Sydney Starr, known as Sidney Favors, is facing multiple felony charges for allegedly abusing a child. According to Georgia Court Records, viewed by Oxygen, Starr has been charged with sexual battery against a child under the age of 16, aggravated child molestation, and sodomy. Star is a transgender model and TV personality who appeared on season 9 of 11 Hip Hop New York. According to a press release from the hateful police department, she was arrested on August 2nd after police were called to an embassy suit hotel in the Greater Atlanta area on a report of a sexual assault involving a child. According to an arrest warrant, Starr confessed to the act, telling investigators they were consensual. Authorities said in a press release, quote, Because this case involves a juvenile, no additional information will be released from our agency. Star is being held without bond at the Fulton County Jail. Her next court appearance is scheduled for August 25th. Her attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
SPEAKER_03Um there's two things about it, right? Number one, we have to take into account that we have to take into account that um there's the the court of public opinion and then there's the court, right? I want to I always like to give the benefit of the doubt. Um and I always like to try to find where maybe you know a little bit of this or that that'll probably, you know, help me understand both sides, and then I can decide what I believe. And I want you to weigh in as well because this is such a heavy topic. Um but when we're talking about grapes, um, graping someone, or we're talking about sodomy, um that's not really something that I can really, you know, sway one side or another. I will say that I am interested in following this story, and we should follow it together, and that we should um watch and find out what happens. We need to be fair and we need to be um be very um, I think we need to go back to the basics as a society, right? We need to go back to reading documents and what does the court say, what did the judge find, things like that. Um, I don't know whether or not I don't know enough facts to know if this is true or not. Um honestly, listen, I I feel like I always get in trouble. I need my chapstick, my lips is ashy. Um, I always get in trouble, I feel like, because I always just be saying like stuff that's just not what somebody hear. And I get it, you know, but but here's the thing. Allegedly, Sydney Starr might have done this. I feel like that she might. I don't know. Allegedly, maybe. Um, I don't ever want to put that on anybody. That is horrible. Ooh, that is horrible. I mean, imagine just how that is that is sick. I mean, but from what I read, and it was pretty incriminating. I mean the boy was 18 years old, allegedly. And to be that young, and how old is Sydney Starr? Let's look and see. Let's look and see. Sydney Starr is oh, I said start 37 years old, um, was born in 1989. Yeah, um you you're too old to be even how did this how could something like this be pushed and alleged? That's where my mind is at. I'm not looking so much, is it true, is it not true? I am looking from the lens of how does a misunderstanding like this happen? Um that's that's what I want to know. Oh my gosh. Um, yeah, I mean, I'm not looking at I'm not looking to be a court of public opinion, and I'm definitely not looking to be a judgmental person. As a Christian person like myself, I feel like we need to have mercy and be graceful, and we need to, as a society and as a citizen, we need to watch and let it unfold. We don't need to um give our opinions. I think that people are very quick to throw their own, like, oh, Sydney Starr is this type of person, and Sydney Starr did this to Chingy, and Sydney Starr, you know, whatever, whatever, on on the show. She she's always on the show Zeus. Um, you know, and she's always on the show Zeus. She's doing her, you know, her reality, her ratchet reality. She's done Love of Hip Hop. She's done um Baddies, you know, against their will. They you know, supposedly didn't want her on the show. Then she found her way, kept hopping up. I don't know. I think that was kind of like a thing that I don't I don't know how she got their address. I think that would be more confidential. I feel like that's definitely a little story plot. Somebody set that up, but anyway, beside the point. Um, as far as this case, we will be watching it and I will be recording anything that I find and anything that pops out so we can we will be following this story together. Um, look at this. Take a look at this video clip right here, and shout out to all of the people. This is fair use. This is fair use. Um, shout out to BravoTV.com, shout out to CWW, shout out to Instagram, and big ups to oxygen.com for allowing us to use their fair usage media. With that being said, let me go ahead and put it on our next clip. Just take a listen to this and we'll come back and we'll chat about it.
SPEAKER_27Was really young, and I really can say that I did make a few mistakes at that time, and I um was thirsty for fame, I will admit to that. But at that time, I had people telling me this and people was really young, and I really can say that I did make a few mistakes at that time, and I um was thirsty for fame.
SPEAKER_03I will admit to that, but at that time I had people telling me this, people And you know, this is quite frankly what my problem is with Sydney Star. I actually won't even phrase it that way. I don't have a problem with Sydney Star, never met Sydney Starr. Um here is my take, my two cents on this matter. My two cents on this matter is that because we are in two cent talk, right? Um so if we're in two cent talk, we gotta talk about it, right? Um my two cents on this matter is that I have always seen Sydney Starr come off as a person on social media or on reality TV in general, who's just you know enjoyable to an extent because of you know the personality of it all and the the um the confidence of it all, right? Um, which I think is good. And I think that, you know, for her to be um and shout out to the LGBTQIA plus community. Um Sydney Starr is a transgender woman, actually. Um, so I think that there is many layers with this case, and I think that there is a lot of opinion, and that's the reason I wanted to mention public opinion. There is a lot of biases, there's a lot of isms, you know. The um the unfund words, there's a lot of isms, and we have to be very cautious and careful as a society and as a community and whole, and then as a community, like in the sub-communities, right? Um, I think that with Sydney Starr, we're gonna watch her be made an example of maybe, and if things don't work out in her favor, I think that that is going to open up the floodgates for many, many like even worse things to happen. Um shout out to my hair. Look at my hair. Um, look at my hair. Um, anyway, um, yeah, I think that we have to be very cautious and careful as a society on how we get and how we um how we tune in and how we watch this case. Because if we if we become caution uh careless about this case, and I know nobody wants to be here, but if we become just careless about this case, and if we judge Sydney Starr, who's a transgender that's accused of breaking someone, and you know, and if we just jump to our biases, oh she did it because she blah blah blah. Oh, she's this and that, oh she did that on reality TV, oh she did this to Chingy. Or, you know, I think that we're gonna get lose. We we're getting caught up, like we're getting caught up and we're getting carried away. That's what's happening. Um, but you know, that being said, I do think that um I want to show you guys one more thing um before we but I want to show y'all two more things actually as far as with them and then look. I had a you know the thing with Chingy.
SPEAKER_27You destroyed his life.
SPEAKER_18No I don't know.
SPEAKER_27I didn't mean when I said it and I just looked at the family, so I wanted you to I I talk really bad. People don't really understand. I want to act like I'm good when I'm really bad. Life or career. It was just some I was very young. At that time, I was literally was only 19 when I met with Chingy. I wasn't even 22 years old yet when that happened. I was young-minded. I started my transition at 15. Break it down, but break it down what happened with Chingy, because a lot of people are new and they're watching in 2025.
SPEAKER_26Exactly. So break it down.
SPEAKER_27And take it, take it from the beginning. I know, but just be a little bit on it. I'm gonna be real. I was young, I was 19, I was a backup dancer. You know a lot about that, Amber. We're being backup dancers. So I was working for a show that was with Shauna the rapper, DTP. No more not DTP, goddamn it. Shauna getting some head. Shauna. Yeah, no.
SPEAKER_37She was the one of the people.
SPEAKER_03So even with that little clip I just showed you, um, Sydney is Sydney's star is just very very, um, a very what is that word to describe a person when like they're very it starts with the C. Um controversial. She's a very controversial person who put aligns herself with nonsense. So at times you don't know, you can't tell the forest from the trees with her. And as a longtime watcher of Sydney Starr across franchises, you know, whether I tuned in to watch her specifically or not, which likely I didn't, but I mean it was like love and hip-hop. I think there was a surgery show on Lifetime that she showed us or whatever. Um, there was, you know, just a plethora of shows that she's been a part of with nonsense. But you know what I'm the thing is she's attached herself to so much nonsense. And you know, for her to have been just in the game this long, I don't I all things considered, I don't know how much people take her serious, and I don't know how much um how much support I can give with this situation. Um, but I will say this. Chingi did speak up on the allegations that Sydney Starr made against him, and uh I want us to take a look see.
SPEAKER_35Which which I think was very classy, and the right damage was done at that point, though.
SPEAKER_33Yeah, she lied about it. Yeah, the damage was done. Um so how that even happened. I remember I had a show, me and Chris had a show, I think Twister was there as well in Chicago before Chris went home. You know, me and the crew and everybody, you know, we going on stage, we're gonna go up there and go on stage, fuck with Chris, and just check the show out. Well, with some girls who we thought was all girls on stage and body painting dancing. Two years later, all of this full stuff comes out, nobody knows nothing about and that's literally how that went.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so I mean, that's not cool to just sit and lie on somebody. Um, I I don't think that that was ever going to be something that she could come back from. A lot of people, when they think of Sydney started, they automatically attach her with this nonsense with oh she did this the trinky. And and I get it, you know, it's been um it's been you know what it's been a lot of years. Somebody look it up, somebody look it up and tell me. Somebody that's um whoever is watching with us live, which by the way, by the way, um, wherever you're listening from, make sure that you drop down in the comments and give us some crowns and give us that is your entry ticket. Is you have to drop some crowns and you have to like the sh the the the video and you have to share the love with somebody else. But um, as far as this whole Sydney and um her her court case, um I can't say I wish you the best because you know, obviously, um this is dirty and me being a lover of family and um life and everything that comes with life, you know, including you know people. Um I can't say that it's okay and that I support this, but what I can say is um I pray that during this time that justice is done, and I pray that um the truth prevails. I don't I know that sometimes there is a dirty game that you know can be played, but I also know that Sydney Starr lines herself up with nonsense, and I also know that um people are not always as they seem. I've not ever met Sydney Starr, so I can't say how she is. Um however, it's time to move on to the cut. Um, I'm excited because I really spent a lot of time last week um getting some things together for us because I wanted to make sure that we was gonna be set and good to go. So um that means it is time for the cut. Alright, so uh it is time to go ahead and get into um the cut. So um I want us I want us to go ahead and start doing this amongst us. We're gonna go ahead and start talking about what made the cut. So look, listen, listen, listen. So when we talk about the cut, we're talking specifically about what show, scripted or unscripted, what movie. I don't care if it was Tubi. I don't care if it was anyone, all right. I don't care where um movies, cinema, whatever, Peacock, Netflix, shout out to them. Um I don't care if it was a song. This is our cut list, alright? Sorry, I'm like taking so long to get to it. That this is our cut list, right? Um let me see if I can get oh gosh, I just got irritated by something. Um let me see if I don't like I'm sorry, getting distracted. Anyways, so coming in at number 10 on our cuts of the week this week, we have Angel Numbers 10 Toes by Chris Brown. Angel Numbers by Chris Brown, and well, Angel Numbers slash 10 toes, because you know that's like a track that he took and he like did a remix, you know, added like a little extra part. You know, he makes like 10 different versions of one song. He's very talented. I love him using Chris Brown. Um, the talent inside Chris Brown is impeccable, and I also feel like it's otherworldly, and I'm impressed by the song, the cadence, the flow, the tempo, the vocal production. I have no notes, right? Um, I've been loving the song since it came out. I love the emotions that the song channels. Um, coming in hot at number nine, or maybe it's a lukewarm. I don't know. But it's kiss me by Ariana Grande. Ariana did her thing on her latest album, Pedal. Now, I talked to you about that last week or the week before. I don't know. But I talked to you about that last week, and I told you that I was gonna listen. And I listened, I listened to her whole album, front to back, back to front, side to side, flipped it around and listened to it again. And um, my thoughts about that album is it's kind of dark and it mentions the word death a lot. Um, she is insanely, incredibly talented though. So she put it in such a way that it makes you kind of um fantasize about the lyrics, right? Um, I already told y'all my favorite, I told you my favorite songs um last week. Um, but my favorite song This last week was Um Kiss Me. Um, and that is actually the opening song on the track. Then coming at Number eight, we have Wetter by Twister. And that is um, that is that is my jam right there. That was a song I played a lot last week. I already know what's gonna happen from this. I already know. Um, so that uh yeah, I need to go listen to that song. It's a really good song. Hey, ladies, yeah, if you know you don't need no man. Got your own got on your if you was mm-mm mm mm let me um mm-bending oh sorry let me let me not I'm not trying to get a copyright um um coming in at number six we got zero to one hundred by Drizzy Drake the catch up and guess what that is a song I was actually out on a rhyme as I do and I was listening to that song and the vocal production just the energy of that song and the energy of the music that used to be released. So the thing about me is that I'm a listener and I'm a fan of great arts, so that being music and that being movies and that being TV shows, both scripted and unscripted. So with um our cuts of the week, I really thought that it was very important to add a diversity. Now, this past week, um, I've had a lot of music. Now it'll sometimes be that way. And if you want me to mention a track or shout out a track from you or somebody that you know, you hit me up on uh Insta at MJTV on YouTube. All right. Um, and just simply send me a DM and let me know that you got somebody you want to shout out, or during our radio portion, you let me know who you think deserves a spot to uh showcase their talent. Now, speaking of talent, um, we got baby tape. Now, speaking of baby tape, that's not what it's about. But speaking of baby tape, because she came in number five for you know her her Bob I Am featuring Flo Millie, and um it's a it's a dope, dope, dope, dope, dope song. Beside the point, her personally, on not even that personal, but like on a like through the screen personal, um, her personality and her her, I wish that she never did. I want to say she was one of those that did love and hip hop. She did love and hip hop, right? Baby Tate, did Baby Tay do Love and Hip Hop?
SPEAKER_22I don't think so.
SPEAKER_03Okay, well, disregard, if she did not, but I thought that she did. My whole point is when people get on these reality shows, um, after you've already maintained success, you have to be very mindful on, you have to be very cautious and careful on the people that you um affiliate with. I think the only person I've seen come out from reality TV unscathed was K Michelle. And and kudos to her because she's handling RHOA like a boss. I think more so in a later half of that season, season 17. But um for all of my people that are doing reality TV and you want to make it big and and give a bigger platform to your media, find another way. Find another way. Because reality TV is it has one job, and that's to be entertaining, right? Um, and of course, we want to be entertained, right? That's why we watch it. And and but the thing about it is you can't have it both ways. It's either gonna be you you go on that show and you act a fool, or you're gonna go on that show and be made to look like a fool. It's either one or the other, right? Um, you can have producers that are your friends, but it ain't it's never gonna be given what you want it to give, and that's just the fact. Um come in at number four. We got pop that thing by the pop that thing, let it pop, let it pop. Um, go listen to that song. It's a very dope thing. And then I told you already that the cut of the week might not have movie new TV shows. I've been wanting to put more movie TV shows on here next week, but coming in at number three is Old Man Brand New Thing. Um again. Um, I want to go see it again and I want to see it in 4D actually. Shout out.
SPEAKER_22Laughter still gone.
SPEAKER_03Oh. Okay. It should be off now. Um, so I want to give a shout out to the makers of Spider-Man. Um, I really feel like, I really, really, really feel like in my heart of hearts that it was just, it wasn't necessary to have another movie. Um, I don't know. Um But me being such a lover of Spider-Man, I'm always gonna go support and and show out. Coming in hot at number two, we got I'm Getting Ready by Tasha Cobb's featuring Nicki Minaj. And that was a very great energy put out into the world when that song came out. Um, I really do think that we need more collaborations with the gospel and other genres. Um it doesn't just have to be hip-hop. I know that song caused a lot of controversy when it first came out, but um the reality is we need more crossovers. I know that there's always been this historic thing with, you know, in the church. This is me being controversial again myself. However, I have to be honest with you, because that's what I do. Um, I'm getting ready, I feel like, set a new tone and a new height to not only female rap, but just not only not even just hip hop, but in in music. It showed how different genres, even genres that historically are nemesis, can work together. It's almost like when two two gangs in the streets kind of work together for one common thing. I feel like that's how this was. Um, I mean, she even in that line of the song has um, you know, she talks about the devil shooting up of somebody. Um that's my girl, and I love this from Nicki Minaj, of course. Um, coming in hot at number one, we got RHOA season 17 reunion part two. And we absolutely, um when I say we, you and I, we absolutely not not our not the outside people. I'm talking about us. We love RHOA over here. So, um, you know, we were fans of season 17, and I know that if you are a true RHOA fan, I know that you appreciated the whole rollout of this season. You had to because we had all of the women who had some type of true relation. Um, and this all goes into why this this show made the cut this week, right? Um, we got we got all of the ladies. You got Kelly and I mean Kelly and Shamia, you got Pinky and K Michelle. They in the same same sorority. You got Angela and Drew, they both from Chicago, and they both, you know, got a lot of similarities, and then you got poor Shan Vedra. Um, and I just really feel like that this is a very cohesive cast, and this whole season 17 as a whole was great. I think it had great energy. It was new energy. You had a lot of liars, you had a lot of weirdos, and you had a lot of um um like camp, as as we say, you know, we got a lot of things that was camp for RHOA. I think the promo was good, I think the confessionals, everything. Um, we have our star bag, you know, you gotta think for the little small elements that we don't talk about for the show and why what makes it so good. Um, and the reason why they don't need to do anything with this show for season 18. Um, but that being said, um, speaking of shows, let me go ahead and show show you um what we have to be on the lookout for.
SPEAKER_13It's a different world. And where are you coming from? Yes and love. Go ahead and come in. Come out there the world. Put me in the world, okay.
SPEAKER_03Just kiss. She did the thing, right? She completely did the thing. Um, I really think that now if you did not know, Aretha Franklin, shout out to her, did the original um show. She did the original, and I really I love this. Like, I really do think that this show is good. Um it looks so the they dropped the they dropped the news that Brandy is going to be doing the official um theme song for a different world. Now, with a different world, the thing that I love about it is that they're going to bring it back, and it does not seem because, and I say it does not seem because we can never be too sure with today's um way that they do reboots, but it seems that we're gonna get what we're looking for. They bring it back the original cast, and it's gonna be produced by Netflix. So I have high hopes. The only other reboot that I saw that was really, really good was um Bel Air. That was the only one, you know, of course, from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. So that's the only show that I really felt like that they brought back that was really, really good. You let me know what you think, uh, drop it down in the chat. Um, and don't forget to drop your your your daily dose of crowns too while you at it. I'm gonna let you know, remind you of that. But um, no, honestly, um Brandy, Brandy has concerned a lot of people recently um in the media as well. After popping out, you know, doing a little bit of press, just a little tiny bit of press for, you know, the new show, a different world coming out, you know, theme song, you know, being sang by her. She went back to her hometown and she received um she received a key. She received a key to the city and she donated $100,000 to a charity and she to the school. I'm sorry. I'm let me get it right. She donated $100,000 to her her middle school's band. Her middle school's band, she did. So big weeks to her, big shout out to her. But the thing about it is um her hometown. First of all, her hometown is McComb, Mississippi. She went to the middle school and shout out to Higgins Middle School in McComb, Mississippi. That is where she went to middle school, that is where she uh went to middle school from the vocal bible herself. But the thing about it is um recently she's been spotted out and she's been looking a lot smaller than usual. Now, before I show you what she looks like now, let me show you this. This is what um she looked like prior to. Now, if you which I'm sure you know this already, right? But if you did not know, um Brandy, Brandy actually, um she was on tour and she was on tour with Monica. Um when she was on tour with Monica, this is what she looked like, um, as you can see behind the stage. Hey, I'm Brandy, and whenever I'm in Mississippi, we have kicking out with Kixie107. Hey. Um, I don't know. I don't I think that something is going on. I think something is going on.
SPEAKER_18Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03I don't know what's going on, but I don't like it. I don't know what's going on with all of our celebrities. I think that we need to, I think we need to be very careful and cautious on how we talk about and how we handle, and this kind of goes into mental health too, but we'll talk about that later in mental and on the mental note. Right now, I want to talk about Brandy real quick because I know that she just received, you know, and and again, shout out to Brandy because she, you know, donated the hundred thousand and she received the key to her city in Mississippi. Um, but but I don't know what's going on with all of our celebrities. Lately, what's been happening is they pop out and they look very, very, very small. They are losing a whole lot of weight. Um, I don't know at this point, and I want you to let me know. You let me know. Um, should we be concerned or should we not speak on it? Should we be concerned or should we not speak on it when we see because think back when this happened with Chadwick Bozeman. When this happened with Chadwick Bozeman, you know, and this is also another picture of Ariana right here. But when this happened with Chadwick Bozeman, mm-mm. We didn't we didn't want to talk about it because we felt like, I mean, how can we? We felt like how can we talk about when when when this happened with Chadwick Bozeman and he was like on the left, you see he looked like, you know, he had a full, you know, we know what happened with him. Um he ended up getting cancer. Um and he passed away, unfortunately. But who didn't pass away are these two. And I still want to make sure that we as a society are doing our due diligence. I feel like what I want to see is I want us to be able to listen to people on social media and say, hey, you know what? Maybe they were right. Because this is not okay. This is not okay. Um, but at the same time, she she said that she's fine. And she doesn't want people speaking on her body. And Ariana Grande said the same thing too. This photo that you're seeing of Ariana Grande is actually from her most recent video. She just taped it, had to be recently. Um and this is from her latest album. It's um the song is called Hate That I no, it's called Pedal. My apologies. This is from her music video, Pedal. And um, and this is what she looks like now, and this was in her video. Now, keep in mind they say that the camera adds X amount of weight to you anyway. And me being a creator myself, I can attest that is true. So if the camera adds, they say 10 pounds, but to your body, imagine in real life. That's all I'm gonna say. Again, should we be concerned or should we speak on it? Now, speaking of being concerned and speaking on it, and we already mentioned like how why we don't speak on it because of what happened with Chavic Bozeman, take a look at this. Now, Eric um Brandy, Brandy, on the other hand, um, I this caught me off guard when I seen this. I didn't, I just knew that this was not real. I mean, you could just tell. I mean, you could see in her face and her beautiful face, and you can see in just like how slim her beautiful face is. I am concerned, and I as a fan, I'm concerned. As a person, I'm concerned, and I don't know why I see so much on social media people saying all these isms and things like that. Oh, we're this, we're that, because we're commenting. I'm not body shaming anybody, and I'll be the first person to say that I was wrong if I'm speaking on a woman because I'm a guy, but I don't want this to come off that way. This is I'm speaking up because I care, and I want somebody to um just just you know let her know. And I want to see, I want to see her back at her her healthy weight. This couldn't be healthy. Um this couldn't be healthy, but um, I wish her the best. And in light of music, we also have to talk about Miss Carisha Brownlee. Shout out to Carisha, she has reached the peak in Billboard when she released her single Spin That. It reached the hot 100 on Billboard. Shout out to her, shout out to Young Miami for Spin That and becoming what people call the song of the summer. So, Miss Carisha Brownlee, aka Young Miami, has been very successful since departing from the group that she was a part of, which was the City Girls. And if you have not been paying attention, she is blowing up quicker than we know and probably even expected. So, with Young Miami, um, I think it's just very important that we look at a little, we think a little bit about like where she started from, which you know, with the City Girls and like blowing up like piece by piece, she held the group down when JT was, you know, behind bars, and she's been doing her thing ever since. But um, since she's dropped her out her um her music, she's been going through a lot of things. Um, since she departed from the group, she's been going through a lot of things. So um I want to show you just a short clip on her at this most recent interview. I want you to listen and pay attention, and then I will come right back on the screen.
SPEAKER_25Have you cried making certain songs for this album? Yes, I did. What made you cry? Just you you know how you look at something like life, and you just be like, damn. This is what it came to. Yeah, this is where we had. When did this industry break your heart? Oh my god, everybody pushed me out.
SPEAKER_03Right, so look, that's the thing. I feel like when it comes to um this industry that she speaks of, which, you know, it can be very um challenging. I think that she has a lot of valid points, and I'm actually interested in in her putting it into the music. I'm interested in hearing what young Miami gotta say um from her lens, because I was one of those people who she had to grow on me, and she did successfully grow on me. Um, I actually felt like she has like a very, very, very big personality. And if you have any type of feeling that you feel about her, let me know. Um, because I kind of under I kind of like feel like I understand where she's coming from, but I also feel like um where what is this album even what type of like substance, what substance is it going to have? I've seen Young Miami with The Diddler. I've seen her with different people that I don't really, you know, that that just just was not really good for her image and it was not a good look, and then the timing of it all was not good either. Um that being said, watch this.
SPEAKER_25Like, I always say this that I would never um allow man to come into my house. A man can't come into my person's face. Like, we we just not doing it. So I have to come over to your house.
SPEAKER_36That's facts. What I'm asking is have you ever felt comfortable with a man where you do, you've given yourself to a person where now has they unlocked a tier in a relationship which allows them to meet your children? No, no man has ever met your child.
SPEAKER_25I mean, my baby father has met my child with someone I was dating previously before. But that was just it, and then my baby daddy, like I had a child with him, so like I don't know, I don't do that.
SPEAKER_36That's the same for me.
SPEAKER_25My children off limits, like, what you mean to meet my kids for I mean you tell me what you think.
SPEAKER_03She's talking about she don't let a man in her house and she seems sometimes she seems like the most wholesome person, but sometimes um I just I don't really know how to read her. Um I wish that in these days the artists that drop, you know, music, I think I wish that they just lived a more exclusive lives. And I don't mean private necessarily because we're in the age of social media, obviously. But I just mean that I wish that they lived lives that required them to um just kind of be grounded and be real people. Um speaking of being real, this next person is a little bit too real. She is um someone that probably is multi-generational because she's had bops that your grandparents can listen to, and that you know, your kids in high school can listen to, and then your kids in elementary can listen to as well, right? Because it's not always explicit. But she's very colorful as a person, and I'm talking about the Doja Cat. She is going on tour, and her tour is going to be called Ma Vi. Ma Vi? However, you pronounce it, she's going on tour, and she's taking for the North American leg Lato. Now, Lato just dropped a baby, so I'm interested in seeing her on the stage. But um, Doja Cat will be touring, going to a lot of places. I see she wanted to make sure that she didn't miss the mark. She's gonna be everywhere. Boston, New York, she's gonna be in Vancouver, Detroit, Chicago. She's coming to everywhere. She's coming to my town, your town, everybody town, right? She's coming everywhere. Um, shout out to her. Shout out to Doja Cat for being on tour. I'm excited to see where she goes with this whole um because the thing about it is with um with Lotto and Doja both being on tour at the same time, like with them like sharing the stage, I guess. I don't know how it how it's gonna work. Um I just know that Lotto was announced. I don't really think that um this is a I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. Um I'm not I'm not against it. I like both ladies, and I think they both make um I think they both make decent music. I've I've listened to different tracks. They both have tracks that stand out to me. I mean, I'm I'm curious to see. Oh, but I will say I will be in attendance. Um, I will definitely be in the building. Um, I don't know if you listen to Doja's um actual like latest album, like her actual album, but um it seems like she's gonna have a good time on this tour. Like, look at her. Look at her. Yeah. Um, it's I I do think that she is going to be really good on tour. I've not ever been to let me know in the chat if you've ever been to a Doja Cat um concert or anything, like any um show, any of her performances, because I have not yet had the luxury, but I do plan to support. Um, I think she's a phenomenal rapper, actually. And I think that this album that she just released, the Vi Vie album, um, if you haven't heard it, go listen. But um I listened to it front to back, back to front, you know, side to side, flipped it around, spun it around, and I listened to it again. And I personally feel like the album was a bop. It was 100% um one of her best works. Packing her magic Ocus because it has a lot of classic songs on it. Um, she did not have to use a lot of samples either in her um album. She did not have to use a lot of samples, she did a really good, and she's gonna she's a really good performer. Look at her. She is a really, really good performer. She's really good at what she does. She puts on a show. She puts on a show. She does. She puts on a really, really good show. Um, you see, she is crazy. Um, but I'm interested in seeing where this is gonna go. Um, I thought that the album had a lot of outstanding rep to singing transitions. I thought it had a beautiful production quality, I thought it had timeless artwork design because when you look at the album, and I didn't um but when you when you look at the album, you will see that like you know, she's this blue background, and she's just like floating with a little air balloon, and and it's simple. And when you have the most let me tell you something about me being a music person, let me tell you, let me give you a little tip. When you want to find an album from an artist, say it's your first time listening to them, and you want to hear someone that's going to deliver great quality music, the thing you need to do is find our album that has the most simple simple artwork. When they have simple artwork, that is going to be the best. Think all of the think of think Jay-Z, the blueprint, I think Nicki Minaj, um, the pink print, I think Chris Brown. Yeah, because yeah, he don't he don't miss anything. Any any any album. Um think Beyonce, the Beyonce self-titled album. I really do think that um I'm interested in seeing this tour though. Um, that being said, we are going to go ahead and go on commercial break on radio break. We will be back. The time is 1028. We will be back by 1035. Let me tell you what you're gonna do. You're gonna keep it locked. We will be back at 1035. We'll be back at 1035. So keep it locked.

SPEAKER_03Ooh, I hear the voice in my right, alright. Um, I wanna know, and welcome to the people's business. You are listening to Majestic MJ. Now, for the people's business, the question of the day should your close friends know who you are dating? Um, I wanna know. I wanna know, should your close friends know who you're dating? Now, obviously, and obviously, you know, we have to keep in mind that sometimes they say that your friends don't need to know everything, right? That's what they say. Um do I agree with that? I don't know, but that's what people say. Now, my thing is this right here. If we're gonna get to a point where you don't tell your friends or family, whoever, those are that that they're like closest to you, if you don't tell them who you're dating and what you're doing and who you're doing it with, then who do you tell? And I also think that we have to be c um careful and cautious on what we do tell at the same time. Now, this came up because I happen to know a person that knows a person who is friends with somebody but is not able to share with their friend who they're dating. And there's no reason for it. They're both they happen to be very cool individuals, you know, um, you know, individually, and then they happen to have like a very um unique chemistry about these two friends, but I wanna know is it more layers? Is it a such thing as looking too deep into this? Because listen, here's the thing when you play the game of I'm gonna share this and I don't want to share that, then it opens up the door and the floodgates to well, why are you sharing X with me now? You get what I'm saying? Let me break it down a little bit more, just real quick. Walk with me. So I'm dating somebody new, right? Not even me. Let's use somebody else for an example. Somebody is dating somebody else, and and you don't tell them now now, mind you, it's been months, it's been time spent. You don't you don't want to tell your friends who you date. Is that weird? Let me know in the chat. Is it weird or not to share to not share who you're dating with your friends? I mean, why wouldn't you want to share with them? Huh? Um, also, I want to know. Now we have a thing over here. You should know what this means already. But if you don't, I'm here to share, care, and explain, alright? So chopped or iced. Chopped, obviously, is some something is trash, like it's it's on a chopping block, right? Black uh iced would be like you looking, like you dripped out, like you drippy, like you swagging, like you know what I'm saying? So understand the terminology, okay? That's your course for tonight, alright? So social media users' opinions are split. It's a video I'm gonna show you. Like users on all of Twitter are chirping and they buzzing. It's this video. Let me show you the video and then we're gonna come back.
SPEAKER_28Okay, I'm doing fresh cards.
SPEAKER_03Now, my thing is this right here social media users are split on if this guy's outfit is giving looks based off of his style or if the outfit is name, branded, or not. It's weird. Why are we so like obsessed with brands these days? It's weird. Why is it that we can't just enjoy each other for the inner, the thing that you can't buy? Because this is what's inside is what matters. This has this this in here. This is the power. This is the real this is the real majesticness inside of you. This is the real majesticness inside of you. But people worried about name brand. Let me show you this video one more time.
SPEAKER_28Okay, okay. Fresh card cardigan.
SPEAKER_03I don't understand. I mean, he's decent. He's dressed regular, but people want to know is this branded or not? You let me know. Let me know. Is this branded? Um, yay or nay. That's my producer over here playing these cards.
SPEAKER_18Um my alibi.
SPEAKER_03Alright, so that wraps us up for the people's business. I want you to weigh in on a chat. Let me know with this video that I showed you. Is people are people being too unrealistic? Why do I want you to tell me, are people being realistic when they think about, oh, uh when they're judging somebody from the outside? You meet somebody at a bar, at a at a, you know, a Panera Bread, a grocery store, um, you know, your publics, you meet somebody at Publix, you meet somebody at Kroger, you meet somebody, you know, at Walmart, and then you see them on the outside, and you're like, oh, okay, they put they put that on. You know, oh, that's icy right there. You know, that's ice. Or do you say, nah, they chop because they don't got a they don't got a a Gucci belt. They don't got the Gucci socks. You know what I'm saying? Um, they not they don't got the Rolex, they're not driving the BMW, you know? Like, I think that we has gotten carried away with um I think that we've gotten very carried away as a society with these types of things. Um moving on, I want to um go ahead and throw it on a quick break. Um because here's the thing. Um, we are live and you know what, we're just gonna roll with it, actually.

SPEAKER_17I've been staying up lately thinking about a future, thinking about my future, anyways. You've been on my mind lately. Like, is it really true? Are we really meant to be these days? Cause everyone's already in love. So I've been thinking about my future. Anyway, the heart wants what it wants. If you let go, I won't. They say when love won't stay and go. No, the heart wants what it wants if you let go, I won't. They say, let go, but I'm stuck on you. Maybe that's why it takes time. But when I look around and everyone's missing Can't help but feel like it's taking its time Cause everyone's already in love And I'm starting to feel like we're falling behind The heart wants what it wants Pet go, I want to stay when I want to go. The heart wants what it wants Pure, I want to stay, I go, but I'm stuck on you. Baby, we baby We are just at the front We wanna stop And baby I have for you it's stronger And I want to taste The Heart once Party on if you let go at home I say Well stay then go The heart once Party wants if you let go at home I say I go the booty When you finally get to a place where you're done, it's nothing but sometimes you have nothing else to say.
SPEAKER_21There's nothing else to say. How did you know you had nothing left to say? Because I love until I can't love no more. And I give until I can't give no more. I don't force my way out of anything that I'm not ready to leave. I don't force my way out of anything that I'm not ready to give up on. I don't, I have to be at my wit's end. You wanna know why? It feels better. When you force yourself out of something, it's why you go back. Because now I was like, but what if? And maybe this could have, and maybe this could have been done differently. Right. Always exhaust all options. When you do all you can do, there's nothing else to say when you walk away. Damn. That's the powerful silence. Yeah. Because you're walking away with your peace.
SPEAKER_37Yes. And your freedom.
SPEAKER_03Well, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, and you are tuned into Majestic MJ. And listen, um, I second that motion. I think you have to in this life and um in your best well-being, you have to you have to um get to a point where you kind of exhaust all options and there really is no other option but to move on. Now, obviously, this is easier said than done. Um, but take it from the words of Ciana Taylor herself, which by the way, shout out to her. She has been um everywhere doing everything, and um, I think that deserves a little bit of recognition no matter how she might have gotten there. Um I think that we have to take a step back when we think about protecting our protecting our own mental. Um, I want to pose a question, or I want to tell you um something first, and and then I want to pose a question. But um so my whole thing is energy flows where attention goes, right? Now, with that being said, um, because energy flows where attention goes, um, we have to be very mind careful and cautious on how we spend our energy. Think of energy as your currency and how you spend your currency is how you spend your money, you know. And imagine if the way that you spend your money is the way you spend your time. But I'll tell you something. A lot of how you spend your money, if you're responsible or irresponsible, is how you're gonna spend your energy. Take that with you, and I want you guys to keep this video in mind.
SPEAKER_01Do you want to know why you're too tired? You wanna know why you're overwhelmed, you wanna know why you're stressed out, you wanna know why you have no time for yourself? It's because of the power you give to other people's opinions, their emotions, their immature behavior. It's the ways in which you are turning people into a problem in your life. And here's the sad fact. The sad fact is other people should be the greatest source of happiness and connection and inspiration. But if you don't truly learn this skill that we're gonna talk about today of focusing on what you can control and letting people be who they are, letting things play out as they're playing out, and then bringing the power back in house and really focusing on how you respond to it. If you embrace this skill, you're gonna be shocked. And that's why I also think we're so susceptible to distraction, because we've given so much power away all day long.
SPEAKER_03I mean, again, you know, in order to fully, you know, develop and thrive in today's world where there are so many changes and uncertainties, you have to be very careful and cautious on what you allow to sit in your energy, in your spirit, in your essence, and a lot of the way we spend our time is an indicator of how our energy is going to be left to feel. And a lot of how we spend our time shows in how we spend our money. If you think about how you spend your money, and whether you are responsible, you have to you pay your bills on time, or if you're irresponsible and you decide to spend your money elsewhere when you should have been understanding that bill cycle was coming back up. Just saying, you know, but um, you know, it's just we have to um be very careful and cautious, right? That's what this whole thing is about, and that's what I want you to know. Um, I thought this was a little bit funny, and I wanted to share this little token with you.
SPEAKER_26And bitch, shake that depressed, sad shit off. You understand me? It's alright to have your days, it's alright to have your moments where you just feel down. It's alright. But when tomorrow comes, bitch, when tomorrow comes, ho shake that shit off like it never happened, bitch. Because you being sad, you being depressed is not gonna do anything for you. You understand me? That's gonna make you sick. That's gonna make it's gonna make the situation worse. All right. So remember that, bitch. Whatever you going through, hoe is always light at the end of the motherfucking time. Don't you wanna fucking get you eat you? Whatever you want to do, bitch. Don't let me eat you all. You wanna say me? That's all I gotta say.
SPEAKER_03Um I give him the proper give them the proper um credit that they deserve. But I thought it was funny because um so often so often, um we just I'm like I'm just keep it rolling, actually. I'm just keep it rolling. Um yeah, so that is our that is our mental note for today. Energy flows where attention goes. Energy is going to either take you high or it's gonna take you low. But you can't have energy without accountability, and you have to understand the role you play in why your energy feels the way it is. If you're feeling drained, take accountability. Why do you feel drained? Oh, you allowed this, you allowed that, and this is the result of you know said actions. So take that into consideration. We have to talk about um in order to be in order to um be a boss, the cost for that is gonna be well-being. You have to take care of yourself, okay? Um that being said, being a boss requires being smart and being strategic. I want you to listen to this woman and we'll come right back.
SPEAKER_04The beauty of copyright is that even if you don't file it with the copyright office, the United States copyright office, that if I make a voice memo in my phone right now and I pull it out and I say, I'm on your heels, I'm on your heels, and I stop it, and then somebody else releases a song, then I say, Hey, like that's my song. And it's like, how do you know? Well, it's copyrighted because I have it here on this date. So something is copywritten when it is in a tangible fixed medium. And because we have once you write it down, once you record it, once you record it in Pro Tools, it is now copywritten. Wow. And you are the owner. However, you cannot go to court with the case unless it is legally registered with the copyright office.
SPEAKER_03So um you can't just go out here and just drop your business and expect that everything's gonna be okay. Um, there is actually a guy that I happen to follow. He's on um and shout out to him, he does really good work. He is um, he goes by the name, what's my guy's name? Um he's really, really big on TikTok. And um I know his name is JC Carter. Hopeless romantic society. Yeah, him, that guy. Shout out to him, number one. He's very talented, but more importantly, um, in the you know, he he was minding his business, but while mad at his business, um, somebody tried to rip him off. So he was walking. I don't know if, you know, I don't know how much of a joke this was for him, but I know that he was walking in a store and he sees some shirt that says hopeless romantic society. Imagine that. Imagine you do all of this heavy lifting, you have this unorthodox, unique business opportunity, you know, and you take it and you're doing, you know, you you're doing your thing, you know, getting the brand alive and everything like that, but then your brand is ate up by some um big, big, big shark, you know, in the tank. Imagine that. And all because you didn't, you know, follow the proper protection, you know, but luckily you got me on your side, and I'm not gonna let you go out like that, friend. So um make sure that you protect your brand and protect your business by filing not only the LLCs, everyone on planet Earth has gotten to um understand pretty much how that concept works. You file a LLC, you know, soul propriety, um, and and um, you know, you file the different, you know, entities and things like that, corporate, but I don't think that we talk enough about creative, like um, that's actually called creative intellectual. And um you have to make sure that you protect yourself with that trademark and protect yourself with that copyright. Those are gonna be the things that matter the most in the long run, and that is how you protect yourself. You can find additional support by going to um the business borough website, just Google it, the business borough website, and you will find what it is that you are looking for. Um, I want to say this real quick via somebody else, and then we'll come right back.
SPEAKER_31Some people don't trademark right away because of the cost. So they think it's going to be this huge financial investment when they're just starting their business, which makes sense. But the right way to think about this is to imagine what happens if you don't trademark. So imagine having a brand that you love that you'd be upset if you had to change, and then someone comes along and trademarks it first, and you either find out when you go to trademark or when someone sends you a cease and desist letter and you have to rebrand with a month's notice. There's costs involved in signage and logos and websites, and just like the mental stress that you would have if you had to rebrand. It's almost always less expensive to do it up front than it is to wait and do it down the line.
SPEAKER_03Right. So listen, here's the thing. Um, I don't I don't think that um you know obviously if you're um just starting out with your business, then you might not have the funding already, which is understandable. Um however I do want you to listen up when I say this. While you're minding your business, make sure that you have it somewhere in your mind that in order to protect my business, I'm going to file this and file that. You don't always need an attorney, you don't always need like thousands of dollars either. What you need is protection because if you went and you built somebody else's, you know, dream business and they have the funding, boom, it's gone. Just like that. You know, um, so I say that to say that um always go ahead and protect yourself. I want to give a shout out to one of my RHOA women, um, Kelly Potter, um, aka Miss Chicken and Waffles. Um, she did her thing yet again. She um not only did she revive RHOA and she set a standard, but she's thriving. And she did have um, she did have a recent location. Nana's Chicken and Waffles open up in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Um, it went through a uh storm, not literally, but a financial storm. So it is no longer with us. However, I want to give her a shout out because I do recognize her being an entrepreneur and not only successful and thriving, but she's also an entrepreneur who has what you call a brick and mortar. Um, she's the only person on the entire cast of RHOA who has a brick and mortar business. Take that back. She's not, but she does do very well in that area. So, with that being said, I also want to shout out Pinky Cole, Slutty Vegan, and Phaedra Parks, who attorney offices, you know. Um, they do really well as successful women on the show. And I just um I want to give them a shout out. Also, shout out to Miss Chicken and Waffle's uh merch line that just launched. Uh shout out about that because um it was cute. Um it it's a whole bunch of merch that's talking about her being the standard, which I thought was cute. Um even Marlo chimed in because you know people wanted to dispute Kelly and you know make it seem like oh she's not setting the standard and she's not the standard, but um I I do think I do think that she has set a standard. If you look at all of her events on season 16, she was there setting a standard. She set some of the biggest events up, okay? And I'm talking ball main, alright? Um fashion houses that we don't even talk about, all right? Um she's she's she's really good, she's great standard. Um I would like to give you guys a tip. Um, but first I want to give a shout out to Kenya also. Um I want to give a shout out to Kenya for um for taking her business as well, and Portia also. We have a lot of thriving entrepreneurs on R H O A. And big shout out to all of them for heading down. Portia is uh pampered by Portia. We have Kenya, of course, Kenya More Haircare, Kenya more hair care. Um so shout out to all of those women, and I do want to say as a tip, um, I want to say that one cent equals $100 when managed properly. So do with that as you will. I'll say it slow and I'll say it one more time. One cent equals $100 when managed properly. Okay, do with that as you will. Um, one more thing before we leave this um this space of minding our business. Target and Ulta. They recently made headlines because and you know what? Shout out to their marketing team because they got me to open up that email, but I don't like you. I don't like whoever you are that made that um email from on behalf of Target. They sent me this email talking about your cart is empty. And I'm like, my Target cart, what? I don't have a Target. No, I'm not buying anything right now. I don't even have no, like, we we not there. I open up the email. They'll yeah. They talk about some Ultra Beauty is leaving. I'm like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, did that, but at the same time, no, because don't don't fool me like that now. Um, on a serious and unrelated note, Target and Ulta Beauty will be parting ways, and they will be saying goodbye to their partnership this fall. I will keep you updated as that unfolds and as that takes place. Now, speaking of folding and unfolding, let's go ahead and go into the teachers. One of the most common actors. Um a quick radio break. Let's go ahead and go on a quick uh commercial break. The time is currently 1112. We will come back on in three minutes actually at 11:15 Eastern time. Thank you.
SPEAKER_17You can keep loving me side of easy side. You take the best and leave the rest of me. I can't keep holding on to what we had. I can't keep holding on. You better make it last. Say it loud, let me go free. Half of all day in love to me. Stand in here with open heads. But I won't beg you to understand. Don't all wait in between, no more different than baby dreams. Y'all kidding me why I'm done and hurt it out of eye.
SPEAKER_03Yes, yes, yes. Step into the teacher's lounge with me because we're gonna go ahead and talk about these schools now. Um, University of Michigan, aka U Mitch. Um, they are trying to do something kind for their scholars. What they're doing, you might ask, they're removing letter grades. Um, they have decided that they are going to be removing letter grades as you enter as a freshman, and they are doing this in light of drum roll, please. They're doing this in light of trying to uplift the mental health of their freshmen. Now, obviously, you might say to yourself, how conducive is this going to be for their learning experience at the college? But you know, the thing about it is um there is a lot of pressure when you go into college, but that's also what makes it college because that is the one place where you already know, hey, I can't mess around here, right? Now, this is only going to be an experiment, pretty much, and this does not even take place until August of 2027. So be that as it might be. Um, if you are going to be attending UMich August 2027, and further, you need to be very mindful that with them removing letter grades, they are switching over to pass or fail. So that means that you literally have a chance to make it or don't. There is no in-between anymore, which I don't really understand how that is going to help our college students as they transition into college. But I am tuned in and invested in finding out if this experiment is going to work or not. Um, it is officially germ season. So, with that being said, as we are still here in the teacher's lounge, and most of the germs that we receive are gonna be from our futures of America, aka our little kids. Um, understand that this is officially germ season. Now you have to make sure you always take vitamins, always dress for the season, and always take your medicine to prevent these random and spontaneous bacteria and sicknesses. But right now we are experiencing something a little bit more something called the ragweed, and this is what it looks like. Um, it's like this little greeny substance, it's like um, look almost like a piece of you know, green lettuce or whatever, the devil's lettuce. Um, that's almost what it looks like, but um, yes, so make sure that you are cautious of ragweeds, and you might say to yourself, what is ragweed? Well, it is a plant, so it could be anywhere. Make sure you take your um I'm telling you this so that you can make sure you take with you your allergy medication over the counter, of course. And um understand that it grows different places. Um, it's going to be in more so those wooded areas. Um, make sure you stay clear of that. Vacant lots is where it'll be at. Roadside, okay. So make sure you're careful. Um they are in full bloom now after harvesting all of the all of the all of the spring. Um yeah, but it is that time of the year for the ragweeds, okay? So I'm sharing this with you, and I want you to be careful. It's most common here, right in America, and it is a major, major trigger for allergies. You know, like sometimes you running around here with the little snotty nose, got your tissues in your pocket, and you can't stop coughing, your head can't stop banging. Yeah, that's right. You know, it's probably one of these, okay? So, um, what you can do if you really are invested, you can look at a what's called a pollen forecast, and you can check out to see how this is affecting you, if it is affecting you. Now, we are going to slide into um the we're gonna go ahead and slide into the next story, which is a St. Louis police officer who St. Louis police officer cooperative who slid into many people's um DMs. And or never mind, let me stop. Let me go back. So a St. Louis police officer um who went ahead and took it upon himself to mess with many different people. Um, I think it's kind of messed up when you think about like how they're supposed to be like, you know, serving and it's supposed to be, you know, like this really big, like this really big protection force. Um, that's not what's going on, and that part that part is very obvious. Um there was a St. Louis police officer who had messed with about over 10 different guys while supposed to supposedly they were in holding. They were in holding and he was trying to hold them. So he has been served and he is facing up to 30 years. Um you guys, just because someone works a certain field does not always mean that they are trustworthy, okay? Okay, keep that in mind. Um doing what Apple does best. Look at his and it will come right there.
SPEAKER_37So if you care.
SPEAKER_03We have Apple that is still looking to take more of our money. And um, if you are interested in buying into another device, they do have you covered. Um, here is our.
SPEAKER_39This one's gonna be in a dark cherry, a dark red, almost burgundy. Still available in four colorways now: the dark red, a light blue, silver slash white, as well as a dark gray slash black. It's also gonna be slightly thicker, so it's now gonna be 8.8 millimeters, but that gives you two extra things, so a slightly bigger battery, around like 5,500 milliamps. That thickness will also help with the camera because for the first time, we're gonna get a variable aperture on the main camera. So still 48 megapixels across the board, but that switches between f1.6 to f4. You're gonna get a smaller dynamic island. We're gonna get the updated A20 Pro chip on the inside is now two nanometer, and unfortunately, just like all Apple devices, it is gonna increase in price. So around like $12.99.
SPEAKER_38The iUS The iOS 27 is finally here, and here's everything you need to know in just 60 seconds. First of all, CD is finally getting useful. It can now do multiple actions at once, it can also access your photos, your messages, your files to give you much better results. And finally, it understands the context better so you can have a fruitful conversation with it. There's even a dedicated CD app, and visually, also, it looks much better than before. Next up, the photo cleanup tool is much smarter now. And it doesn't mess up like before. You can extend photos beyond the original frame, and my favorite feature is definitely the spatial reframing. Just open any old photo tab here, and you can create an entirely new perspective from the same image. It works just like magic. FaceTime got surprisingly better too. You can now share both the cameras at the same time, which is quite useful, especially when you're talking to your parents. Creating shortcuts got easy too, as you just have to write the prompt and it'll handle the rest. Apple's password manager got the AI twist as well. It can now automatically change compromise passwords for you so that you don't have to do it manually. I also noticed that the apps are launching much faster than before. Animations feel incredibly smooth and there are no bugs as well. You also get the full screen widget, airtop has gotten much faster, and there's even this new slider to adjust the liquid glass effect. Apple has fixed the camera app too. The photo UI shows options more clearly so that people don't get confused. It's also more 100 friendly, and there's even a separate City mode. The playground app can now generate more realistic photos and the animations are super satisfying. iOS 27 will be rolling out to all the iPhones, starting iPhone 11. But you know what? Most of the features are in partnership with Google, so you know who's better, don't you?
SPEAKER_03Alright. And we are gonna go ahead and um so this is this is the thing. Um Apple needs to stop with this. Always want to take our money, but they make such good devices, and honestly, they um they actually are going to be releasing something um allegedly, something called the fold and the flip. So they're getting into that whole world and that whole ballpark that Samsung is in right now. So this should be interesting. Um, they are releasing it and it's going to be they what they really didn't talk about is um there's going to be something called the iPhone Ultra, allegedly, and that might or might not um come out this year. They are saying that it should be coming out this year, but we will have to find out and see. Now, um moving right along, um it is time for us to take our second to the last radio break. And I'm going ahead and get us in there. Oh, you know what? We actually not. We actually gonna go ahead and power through.

She is navigating a lot of perplexing situations over there on her end, but she is making it work with all of her beautiful daughters that she have, and being a great mother, great entrepreneur. We saw a great glimpse into her professional world this season on um RHOA season 17, where she sat down with her business strategist and um he verbally put her in the show code and told her, like, you know, you need to get your ish together, and she received it. And we love her for showing that. And speaking of love, how can you not mention um what's that lady's name?
