Make Sure You Got Your Lysol!

you know she raped shot towns On speaking to the grounded. Second, we're gonna last cut of the kicking, and at the end we leave it with just a lifted spirit to think you want to revisit, tell your first take a list of your folks, say it, slip old folks that we dig it. Don't do what you do. No kis do what you don't. No kids do what I do. Speaking to hearing voices and they hear. Could somebody please plan a seed in Donald Trump's head and tell that

nigga that you lost. Somebody needs to let him know that he lost in every language known to men. Don't say Japanese, Korean, British, Africa, Australian, down on the up, over in between that behind nigger you lost. You need to rock. So outside of that, my week has been very trying with the pandemic, the numbers are crazy. Y'll please be careful. If you have not invested in lightsol, please do because I spray everybody because I believe that it works. In fact, I sprayed Nicholas this morning. I

didn't spray the producer or the cameraman. But the show ain't over yet. Ship. It's like you've been saying, it's been a trying week. What do you mean it's been a trying This has been a very trying week for me. I have a wayward seventeen year old daughter whose baby sister is watching the things that she's doing because she's waiting to try to pull up the tests to see

if she can get away with it. So I have a seventh yeard daughter has been dating of a guy and we thought he I thought he was eighteen because that is what she told me. Come to find out that he's twenty one. I hit the ceiling, baby, the ship hit the fan, and we've just been feuding back and forth. But I'm gonna tell y'all that this is my baby, and she was very miserable in the house. It just made it a toxic environment. So I bent

a little. I've bent my own rules for the sanity and safety of my daughter because she was talking crazy and I wasn't ready to deal with that. You've bent your own rules, meaning you did what I allowed her to still have um friendship relationship with this man because I didn't see the other The other alternative was to let her go and live with her with her mom,

which is an extremely toxic environment. So I was like, at least I can eyeball you here and keep an eye on what's going on because you're not been a single parent a long time, as opposed to sending you somewhere where I can't see you. You at a stranger's house, and and I don't know what's going on, and I'm a control freak, so I need to know what's going on.

I think it's also important to mention too that you do have extremely responsible children, who are engaged, who are aware, who are very informed on their own social, mental, and physical health. So that does play a role, and you're feeling better about the decision you're making to give her a little latitude. Absolutely not absolutely not the nigger and me wanted to punch the ship out to this. No,

this is this is what we do. So let me let's talk about how I really feel that I felt defeated as a parent because as her dad, and she's still my daughter. Let me tell you the sexiest part of it. As a man, if it was my son smashing all a little eighteen nineteen twenty year old girls, I'll be walking around here like a proud peacock. But it's not. It's my daughter, and I don't want to think about her passing out her nookie and her cookie

to every time dick and hookie. So yeah, it just it sits differently, but it still does not sit well because he is a man and she is my baby. So yes, I know she responsible, like I told her, I know you, I don't know him. I know you, I know who I raised, I know what I've taught you. But baby, let me tell you something. Where a man get a control of a woman's heart and her mind, pussy is just a side piece that ain't nothing. That's

just a good sex. He got you here, baby, If he got my daughter here here, what would he not having her do? So I intervened that we had to talk, all three of us. Can y'all believe that I sat down and was calm. I did because I wanted my daughter to remain happy. She's a great kid, She's going to be a great woman. I see her great future right now. We just got some speed bumps in the road.

And I think that's what I keep going back to because clearly I know her in a very different capacity, and I see this mature, young, strong willed woman, absolutely, But I don't see someone who is not informed and not aware. And I guess that's what makes me feel more comfortable about you giving her just a little bit of spoken from a person who has absolutely no children, because guess what, when their child, they're still a child.

See we can say they we raised them right, they went to the best schools ever, they did all of it. They're still a kid. They still have kids. Ship that happens, kid issues. She's still a kid. I'm still regular dude up on here. I wanted to throw her ass out the window the other week, Uh, without opening the window. Let me just say, I didn't even want to open the wind. I just wanted to push her as straight through.

But hey, you know, this is where we are, and in the midst of all this, we're still in the pandemic. I had to pop my family. So you were talking about you believe the pandemic played a role even in this. I think the pandemic has play a role, and not only my child's life, but so many people's life, not just children, but everybody, because you are so contained. We

are contained. My daughter feels like if she's in her senior of high school, you know, we we are finally at a financial plateau where we can really sit back and enjoy some of the some of the fruits of my labor that I never had grown up, and that she didn't even have the first two and a half years of school, because until Tiffany came with a they're ready,

it was always a hustle and a struggle. It's a different struggle now, but it's still a hustle, you know, And so she can't enjoy the being a senior, the dances, the parties, the prom none of that, because you know, and I tell my children, y'all didn't feel all the

school or the world. The world failed job. The world has failed all of us because we are stuck in a situation that had this administration had just a tiny bit more care, showed some point of care, we might not be in this situation that was not going to stop the pandemic, right, but it could have been handled better. But I'm glad he didn't handle it better because the fear is had he handled it with a little more care, this nigga would have wanted for the sake of those

who may be joining us for the first time. I think it's important to mention too, that you have three children and you were just talking about the effects of the pandemic. I think it's also important to mention how they still continue to thrive academically though so there has been a bit of and had were those tools not

in place where they not already academically sound. You and I had a conversation about the youngest one, and I said to you, just completely as an a side, I said, because we started talking about a nail file, you guys, and it's actually called a nail drill, the thing that rolls across the fingertip. And she was just so engaged and talking about it. And the reason to study out for me is because it was clear she wasn't shoy.

She's comfortable talking. She said, no, Nicholas, it's a drill, and and she's it wasn't like, well, Nicholas is older, he must be right, She's like, no, it's a drill. You need to look it up. And I just thought that was just I just loved that sense of confidence in this young girl, and I think that that's important. Well, but it's still like I raised my other door in the exact same way, she still went left because of

teenage hormones. A girl, I'm a female impersonator. I think I'm a girl like right now, but if I get excited, yeah, all that girl should go out the window and letting y'all know. Now this is just gone. Yeah all that Oh you're gonna get wet. Definitely not wet, but hard as a mother, but definitely not with this is what I'm talking about. I think that people sometimes see you one way and they don't know you the other, and they sit there and say, what is flame like? What

is the real flame? Like? Right here? With a we're gone. So let's talk about the seriousness of the world, because you travel not been knowing so nikkl, I've been known for thirty years, y'all. We we did a whole lot of ship together. We're back in the day, nothing like that, but yeah, we know each other a long time. And did you travel safely? Did you, because you know I spray Look at y'all see my little bit of cand of lightstyle. I take it with me everywhere I go

in my purse because I sprayed everybody. And did you tell them how you sprayed me before I walked into the house. Yeah, And people say flayment doesn't work. It doesn't work. I have had two girl friends who just tested positive this past week with COVID nineteen. And they thought I was joking when I was spraying everybody with life and I don't spray you like I'm spraying you in your face. But I spray I missed over you because on the can and before you could find it,

they said it didn't lie. So I'm killing COVID. I'm not bleaching you. I'm not injecting you with no um, no no bleach. Remember, it'll just go away, So why are you worried about it's gonna go out? I wish he would just go away so Biden and Harris can take their place as the president and the vice president of the United States. That sounds like a great place to kind of jump on in here and open this up to some of these flavors supposed to see what

they're talking about. I love that. I love that. I want to talk to we on the first episode of let Me Let Me Go Straight Latino, because I don't want you to think that all I got is black fins. I got them overseas and their thing. I'm going straight Latina, Latina paging Jes paging Justine. Goody, good morning, my beautiful lady. Morning, and congratulations on the show. Congratulate, thank you for being part of the show. Just saying y'all made this show popular.

Y'all made this show. Oh my god, thank you so much. I love everybody. I haven't been able to find my precise lightsol, but I'm so lucky for it. I'm so lucky for as soon as I know that we locked back down, I'm gonna put them on flame Bay, not eBay, on flame Bay and some for a hundred. It's a hustle. I just told you're still a hustle. It might not

be a struggle, but it's a husse. I want to ask you a question about the march in Washington that's going on with supposing so many Trump supporters and proud boys, because I don't think that there's a lot of Republicans out there. I don't want to give the Republicans a bad name to say, because there are good Republicans. This is not about partisanship. This is truly about the racist in this country. Did you see the protests out there? Did you see they say suppose it was they wanted to.

They projected a million, but they only asked for how many necklas for the pen something I think they passed, asked for like a park Services reported about. Yes, there's no millions. So the support that he has, truly is he got seventy three million votes, So he has a great support team in this country. They're just not out there at black man last amount of weight. What do you think about them out there with all of that?

You know what, I honestly think they're putting people at risk, not to themselves, but the essential workers and all the police department, the fire department, the hospitals, and capacity are numbers here in Illinois are are above eleven percent um um. I believe that the governor may need to shut our state down, and that's because people aren't doing their part. This march that they maskless march that they had in Washington,

d C. Made no sense to me. It made no sense to me how you don't think it's real, and but you're putting other people at risk, and it's just the economy won't get back together if we don't all do our part, you know. And it's not about your rights or my rights. It's about us pulling together. And

you're right, not everybody that that's Republican is racist. Um. I had a friend who voted for Trump the first time, and I said, okay, and then but after that, you know, when it came closer to this election, I didn't hear hide or anything. Not a peep, not a peep. Justin said. You said, you're you're in Chicago, mayor mayor Lorry life with high Lorry life. Y'all wait to get a lesbian at the least Chicago. That very shady, let me say that.

But I love the Lory life with stands on what she believes in and she don't care what nobody they say. That lady gonna make up her man and she will shut it down. And she's struggling. She's struggling because whatever she does, there's always gonna be somebody who complains. You're not gonna make everybody happy. You're not gonna make everybody happy, and she's not gonna make everybody happy. But the thing is, the numbers are going up because people are not doing

their part. Restaurants are over capacity. They're trying to crack that down, you know, and people are still doing what they want. You know, they're not cooperating, they're not doing their part. They're not masking up, they're not watching, you know, where they go like, Okay, this place is crowded. I just gotta come back. We're just sinking. We just want you to be safe and thank you for following her

here and laugh and learn. We appreciate you. Justine. I've got one more question for you before I let you go. I want to ask you what do you think about that? Because restaurants are trying to make it right. We know that they're struggling, so what should they be doing. You know, Europe did it the other way around. They closed all restaurants and bars, but they send kids back to school, so they've had numbers kind of go down. Uh do you think we should have done it that way? What

are you thinking? You see? What I think is that, well, not everybody would have followed that because no matter what who it came from. If it was Trump for our different president, they're always going to be somebody who has a complaint about it. But if our if we had leadership from the top down, pay restaurants to to have their staff there and feed those in need, first responders, essential workers. But we were actually feeding because we put

a shelter in place to order. If we had the funds to pay the restaurant owners and the staff to cook for the needy, we'd be fine. You know, we'd be better in a better position. You just listen. Next time you got with somebody and they don't have a mask, MB, I'm giving you the right and the privilege to go, get you a bottle of lightsole bleach right out the lights out and open that bleach up and throw bleach

all over the air. The president when he was the president of Nigga, you lost when he was a president. Quick bleaching, you'd be lights. They already in the grocery store. Get you some chlorox, not just any bleach. It has to throw it on. There's going to say their life, your life, their children's life, generational. Lad don't bleach. Don't do that for real. I'm just for you might get no no, no, but I can I say something else real quick tonight because I know I'm sing I time.

I gotta be nice. Nick, thank you so much for serving. I hope you've got my messages. And I appreciate you doing the twenty two push ups for the service members and veterans that take their lives um every day. I appreciate that. Thank you so much. I saw those polls and I thank you for that than a lot. It means a lot. Don't think that I didn't see it, because I did, and it means a lot. Hey, I appreciate that. Just thank you so much. Love you sending love and thank you so much for and I love

you too, Nick, thank you, love your playing die. I know that time let me you something what she didn't know. He's doing twenty two push ups today, but he eats like twenty pieces of chicken a day, so technically it kind of balanced the Let me just be honest. I've seen him do the push ups. I've also seen him push that chicken up to his mouth. We're Justine is

talking about the flamers. You know, we're doing the twenty two push ups for twenty two days because part of the UH message behind that is that um it's estimated that twenty two service members UH commit suicide every day. So the idea is to raise awareness. And this is a perfect opportunity to let people know that if you know someone who may be suffering, that there is help available. You don't have to suffer right now. Because and as far as the lockdown goes, I do think that they

should lock us back down. But before you lock us down, please take care of the people. People need a similar check. People need money, they need food in their house, they need to be comfortable and now worried about the landlord abama on their door or shipping off their power or locking them out of their own place. And people need now, and didn't lock it down and fix whatever y'all need to fix, because I know the vaccine they say it's coming and y'all can have it. I don't take a

flu shot. The only chip you're gonna put in me better be a dorrito or potato chip, because you're not chipping nothing in me. I don't even bottom, so you ain't putting ship in me. I'm just letting you know period at all. Yeah, that's what kind of show. Yeah, that's what kind of day we're having. I love that you were excited about today, though, I'm very excited about today. Baby. Let me tell you something. Triple is here, Kenda was here. Who are troubling? Kendall is the producer of the show.

Kenda was our fabulous cameraman. My Nick is here, I'm here, and now James is here with Hello. So James is our resident white boy that like the black girl magic cound of that Prince harrything. You know you him, Robert de Niro, George Lucas, all, y'all mayor Daily from Chicago, y'all know what that black girl magic do. Just sharing as well. Hello James, how are you? I'm doing well? Welcome to the very first Welcome to the very first laugh and learned. If you don't know who James is,

let me. James is the manager at DC Comedy Loft in Washington, d C. So you right there on the ground level, James. What y'all looking like over there with that protest? Well, I mean, we had twenty four arrest, one stabbing, and four police officers injured last night. It

seems by yesterday it all mostly dissipated. We're really the only stuff we saw yesterday where some older middle aged white women going to Black Lives Matter plause and trying to rip down banners and signs honoring those who have passed on older middle aged white women, which means that they're not gonna get smashed by black man, because you know, a black man is smashing my white bench quickly, let

me just say it out loud and publicly. Secondly, they all left because the Black Friday sales is starting like today, so they have to get home so they can order from Black Friday. Don't be that mad at black but you want to order on Black Friday. I'm just saying, Ship James, I'm glad you're safe there in d C. So were they only on Black Lives Matter way or

were they in other places? So? What? So? It started in Freedom Plaza and basically most of the protests were over by the National Law Freedom Plas all the way over to the Supreme Court. How they made their way over to Black Lives Matter, I'm not a pent sure.

According to the Washington Post, there was basically two different protests and counter protests that were going on parallel streets, and somehow over towards that area they kind of got combined and there were some fist fights and things like that. Nothing crazy that some people are anticipating, but still people got hurt. A lot of the damage can apparently stemmed from the Proud Boys being in town, because they're the

ones who also stabbed a reporter. Now wait a minute, let me let me ask the question to my partner. So the Proud Boys. Isn't the president of the Proud Boys the one that publicly stuck a deal to up his ass on on camera? No, seriously, that's that has been alleged, Yes, but that was to prove it was not an alleged deal though up his ass. That was a real deal though it was not alledged that the video. But just to be clear, was done as an act

of defiance, not as in one of submission. Jane, So, if you're mad at another man, you're gonna stick a deal though up your I'm just saying you're a regular straight man. I just want to know because it don't sound a lot of the reasoning. It's just it doesn't equate the reality. He was trying to prove that he's not anti LGBT by sticking Yeah, I want, I want, I wanted. Did he use lube? I wanted the lube or Proud Boy spit. I see it what I see it.

The pandemic is out of control. And I know that the club because you work at the club, and the club and shut down when you're realistically what you're looking like as far as opening, because it seems like we're

going backwards instead of forward we are. I mean Maryland and Virginia both have gone down to shutting down, so even the entire DNB area is shut down as of today or yeah today which is Monday, And I mean, I'm realistically it's probably gonna be April when we see more of the vaccines because that's not that the vaccines are necessarily going to protect everybody, but it's going to give a lot of people a false sense of security

at that point. And I think to James helped me here, but I think the idea behind that vaccine is to first inoculate um frontline workers correct like UH service providers and those who are like on the front lines, because I believe that their places like isn't in North Dakota that we just saw that there are people who have tested positive that they've hasked to go back into the hospitals because they're the only medical staff available, even though oh yeah, I've been exposed to the virus, but I'm

gonna go back to work because they just don't have the resources available to work without that staff. Yeah, but that's what the news release was, that it would be available to frontline workers it at risk and then the population at large. Well, the catches is that they were saying what they were going to have ten million of

MODERNA out. Yeah, but the catches is that each one of those vaccines has to be used twice on the same person, So really you're only inoculating half the amount of people that you're see doses for that James, and I understand two. I think part of the challenges this, uh, the vaccine itself has to be like stored is some type of sub zero temperature that many areas uh that needed most don't have the ability to do to transport safely this vaccine. Yeah, the Finder one has to be

held in extreme cold temperatures. The Maderna one apparently can just needs to be refrigerated. Um, but like I said, that one has so few doses in comparison to what's needed that I don't know other than just trying to get it out to meet Operation Warp Speed and get their money from the government. I don't see how that's necessarily helpful in the short term. All of that is enough for me. Let me tell you something right now, right here, out loud and publicly. I ain't taking ship

vaccine your ass. I'm not doing it. I don't trust it. From day one, I have not trusted that. Dr Faulci. Say be mad at me if you want to. You know I don't get uh, Dr Faulci. If you do your research on Faulci. Faucci was part of Ronald Reagan's team when with the whole AIGs epidemic, and I lost a lot of girlfriends to a z T because that nigga was pushing a z T. This bullshit at Billy Melinda Gates with that whole chippy chip chip chippy chip

chip chip. If it ain't a dorito and you ain't chipping me, Bill Gates, if you want me to take a vaccine the same needer with the medication, you take half and then you give me the other half with that same need because after you give it to your wife and your kids, because I know you won't do nothing to harm Now that's the only way I'm going to take it. You ain't giving me nothing, my kids, You think I want a third out here and for another arm going out the back of my phone. Here,

y'all take that vaccine if you want to. You'll be shaking hands like this, you know. Unfortunate. Unfortunately, like James and help me here. This is not the first time you've heard people mentioned that they have reservations about possibly taking a vaccine when one becomes available. I mean, we already had a growing movement in the US of anti

baxters in the beginning. Plus we have condensed a process that takes five to fifteen years into a nine month period, So we really don't know what any of the long term or even really short term side effics are going to be other than what we've seen in testing, which

is still a small portion of the overall population. It's true, and I'm telling it's scary, and it's very scary, especially if you if you don't take the time of research, if you uninformed, and I do think that they're going to do come up with some whole plan where you can't travel, you can't work, you can't get assistance, you can't if you don't get chipped, or if you don't get vaccinated, I will be the poorest homeless living in

a tent up under the freeway. Bitch you've ever seen but understand about the people who homeless and live in tents on the freeway. They're not catching COVID and they not damn from it. Now you make that make sense to me? Maybe I need a tent, a house I need and just to give us something else to think about. Literally just popped up on my feed. Their CBS News just released that Fightser's COVID nineteen vaccine distribution will be

a logistical nightmare. The long way for a vaccine that could eventually spell the end of the coronavirus pandemic appears to be on the horizon. But last week Fighter said his vaccine has been effect of preventing COVID, but the problem is shipping millions of doses around the world. Let me tell you something that's been the issue from the beginning is it has to be held in such extreme temperatures, and not a lot of places have that kind of set up. Let me speak to my poor folks out

there like myself. If you pour and you can't get the vaccine because they can't get the freezing weather. Here. You go right here, baby, spray lsol every day all day in people, own people around people, and every lifestyle kills the COVID. I believe it. I love that. Thank you, my James, I love you. Thank you joining us today, James and James straight. You know all the women be ed James. You know talking about James there. You and

I've talked about this off camera. I got a chance to uh work with some of James's people last year when you actually performed at the Comedy Law Yes, and it was just a fantastic room. But James is also one of those people that we were talking about where we need a stimulus because businesses like his are suffering right now when you have restrictions in place on capacity and people going out. You had with three hundred odds some people filled that room because we were above capacity.

Before I was about to say, you tell alone, because you know they went over capacity with me, you gonna talk to you see how he just blew that up. But those are good old days. It was a lot of fun. It was fun. It was fun, and I'm missing in so many comics. I struggle in the hand that because Zoo and zoom and doing this. So thank god that we got the podcast, you know, because it's it's still work, and it gives me a chance to

speak to people. Even though we would I was going to last pretty much every day to speak to the people. But it's just strange for everyone. And all of this comes from what James and and and and miss just see it from. It comes from the administration. They didn't they didn't handle none of this correctly. Now right now he has lost the pandemic, is still not the most important thing on his plateau. He's still golfing and waving at his protesters. It's you're done, it's over. So how

do we move on? Because comics like you still need to perform, not just you. But we saw that even when we tried to do the safe social distancing, Dave was doing that at his at his home and people were going out, they were doing the rapid test before they went in, and and even still he had to shut it down because you know, somebody on the on the crew. And then we just saw the same thing

happened with the team from Real Housewives of Atlanta. So we know that we're going to have to do something if we want things to return to any kind of semblance of normalcy that we had before. Sadly, it took a pandemic and two hundred plus thousand lasts for people

to just really wash your hands and practice social distancing. Because, let me tell y'all, somebody washing your hands, this must be some new ship for y'all, because I'm able to use the means and the women's bath room, and I'm gonna tell you right now that in my experience, the

ladies bad room is always nasty than the means. And I have seen some of you women come out of that stall at the being in there and thinking it up about forty minutes, come out and fluff your hair and roll out, pet your nose and roll up out. I ain't said about washing your hands. I've seen more men do that. Now, roll up out the stall at the blowing it out, just walk out the door and go, oh hey, buddy, how are you shaking hand? So you have to practice your hands the social distance. Y'all should

know to wear a mask. The reason people do not want to wear a mask is because people do not want to be told what to do. I believe that don't tell me what to do. That's across the board, all nationalities, but it's saving somebody else's life beside your own. Outside of that, I don't know what we're gonna do. I'm telling you all right now. I'm gonna keep doing. I'mna keep washing my hands, and I'm gonna keep spraying

everybody they come my way. And if you don't want to be around me and get sprayed, then don't come around me, because I don't care. You could be my mom. I spray, spray the ship out of it. I like to spray a couple of times now she got my damn. There you spray everybody. Baby. It works, and I don't think that it's disrespectful because I'm there. You know in the gate. You want to come to my house, you must be sprayed. Don't be don't say it must be sprayed.

You know, you almost sound like Bob Barker. It goes from Spade and new the two. You must be sprayed. The difference between me and Bob Barker's he was spreading all those women on the show. He was working all up well. In order to get the job, you had to lay with Bob. I'm just saying, in order gets the job, you had to lay with Bob period. Oh my, Allegedly it wasn't that all. The Janis was his favorite

because she kept her job the longest. Janis actually got a chance to get her for one K and retirement plan. She actually did. Janie was there for a minute. Janis might have been the set up. It's like that Guliani for uh what's his name? That they said was the Epstein you know? Oh, yes, I'm having very like jail. Y'all know? Next? Uh you say next? If you can't remember my name, remember this old seven dash three six because the bitch got a number because she's in jail.

How about my Mark? You're so hand this's my baby daddy, y'all. Hi, everybody, congratulations on today. Thank you, congratulations on putting the shirt on, because you know you never have a shirt on, so thank you for putting the shirt on for the people. I did put it on. I had it on my chair waiting, so Markey, Mark, you are in Florida, and y'all, numbers are real bad. And I know that, um because you know I was a I'm a Gillian fan. I'm still a Guillian fan. Nig got caught with his pants

down for real. But I'm still a Guillian fan. Y'all got the sentence over there who didn't just mess y'all stayed up. What y'all gonna do to get rid of this food? This Trump? This Trump, because that's the Trump is um, right, that's what they call it. Trump is Trump? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean I don't think, you know, Honestly, in my area and people I talked to of COVID, they're not um, they're not faulting him for it, and they're not upset

about his response. There are people who are upset about his response, but as I've talked about on here, these are the same people who are going out and partying and going to clubs and going inside to eat with, you know, people outside of their home. So I think there's so much hypocrisy and this has become so political that you're really if you're a Republican, you're gonna love the Santis. If you're a Democrat, you're gonna hate him, and you're gonna say that he did a horrible job

with COVID. They say he did a decent job by keeping the economy open, you know. So it's really become political, which is unfortunate. But like I told you, I'm not looking at the numbers anymore because I have the common sense the respect to wear a mask. It's not hard, it's not even an inconvenience to go in somewhere for ten minutes to go grocery shopping and wear a mask and protect people around me. Um. So, really, the numbers is not going to change how I'm living my life

or what precautions I'm taking, you know. Um, but it is scary how how bad it's getting. I shouldn't say scary, it's it's sad, you know. Um Me, it's not scary because of my age and I'm healthy, but uh, there are people who do have pre existing conditions and who do have to be very careful. One. But but wait on that age thing, because Nicholas has a friendus so that's the sad part. Hold on, Markey, Because Nicholas has

a friend who's extremely healthy and lives healthy. I talked about him on lab before and he just tested positive, tested positive for COVID and as uh you know, now in like day nine of you know, trying to recover and see where he stands, and unfortunately just suffered a loss to you know, UM lost his mom this weekend and is now in a weird position of like so many have found themselves, can't go to Barry and participate in his mother's you know, final days as you know,

his brother will be there, and it's just it's just a tough time, you know, the responsibly he cannot be there responsibly, They cannot grieve the loss of his mother responsibly. This is someone who wore a mask, lived in Atlanta, educated eight well, blah blah blah. Covid said, fine, I'll have a seat to your left then instead of the right. So it just but how do you recover not being able to go to your mother's funeral? That right there, that was sitting your d n A and your spirit

for the rest of your life. I'm sure that's and that's why would I say it's that's the sad part about it, because there are so many people and remember early on there were so many debts and we weren't necessarily as prepared or expecting them, and people's bodies were going in trucks that were coolers, And that is the sad part for people who have to live through that. Um, you know, and we could do so much better if as Americans like you said, people don't want to be

told what to do here. And that's really what it is. It's not even that it's an inconvenience wearing the mask. It's that people want to make a point that I'm an American and this is the land of the quote free, and I'm not going to let the government tell me what to do because I don't have to. That's the mentality that a lot of people are having, and that's the dangerous part. Mark. Do you do you think that maybe we missed the boat I'm I'm reading now an

article from CNN. This is from today's CNN and an article by Harry Instant. I want to give him a shout out. He says that you know. In it, he writes how the coronavirus outbreak got lost in the new shuffle during the last month because of the election, and a new gallop Pole finds that just forty nine of Americans say that they would shelter in place if public

health officials recommended it because of a coronavirus outbreak. And that's down from six who said that they would do that and let Late in March did we miss the window to get people on board? Um? I do think the window was missed, But I think UM, I think the handling there's a couple of things. I think the

misunderstanding of the virus was one. I think the mixed messaging from the doctor Faucies instead of doctor Fauci being transparent and saying, hey, please don't go buy all of these masks until we get you know, ppe for all of our frontline workers, if they were transparent from the beginning and we were sort of felt that the government and everybody involved was being honest and we had an honest conversation, I believe from the beginning we could have

done some sort of shutdown and everyone would have been somewhat okay with it. We would have had the stimulus package going out and we would have been able to somewhat get it under control. But I do think now, because it's because it's been so politicized, and then you have people going back on their words, you have the Trump administration being so reckless and careless and using this politically on really both sides, I think we totally missed it. And now it's if I if I'm a Republican or

if I'm a Democrat, I see it this way. And now it's just a political weapon, which is unfortunate because really this shouldn't be a political thing because it's affecting everybody regardless of your politics, that's true, or your money, or your stature, or your color, your says, or your age. So Markie is as young resident, twenty four year old Marky Marku is Megan Is. He's the Megan mccaino this show. He's Megan McCain with a pain, is stuck. Yeah, this

is not this is much. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter about your finances because you know, you know Mike's second family, they have a large um optimology practice and they had to shut down their entire practice and for over a month, and you know there were employees infected by that, and so it really doesn't matter your financial background. This virus will come and it's gonna impact you one

way or another. So again, if we all did our partner where our masks, it would be something completely to Mark,

I'm gonna jump on that necko that with you. You know, we have flaming I have several friends who owned businesses, many of whom are restaurateurs, and I know for a fact that they have found it challenging to somehow operate in the pandemic, changing what used to be dying in you know, uh, high end dining into now where to go, and then the nerve of me expecting that to go meal to taste the same as when I sit in the restaurant, and when it isn't, I jump on yelping,

you know, the you know, ubiquous you know, the hypothetical week he would go straight the food. I'm just saying, well, I think that that's the common thread for everybody, because folks still need to eat. And you know, that's the interesting part is that this virus is causing so many different businesses and industries because this isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

And so either initially they were not to say smart, but they were prepared and they restructured their business from maybe inn to sort of conform to this new way of living um or they're now having to think about how do I see my business operating for the next year. And that's where I really think we should have more resources from the government. And mind you, I'm someone who's antipi government. I don't I don't like government dependency, but

with a situation like this, we should. Besides, you don't be messing with my A b T. Come up out my A b T. Wait a minute, first of all, let's go back to that. Don't be fucking with my E B T baby, my look, my link, my A b T whatever whatever state you in and they call it, don't be messing with my scamps. But I do think businesses would have more resources to structure and sort of conform to this new way so that way they can't operate.

And like Nick was saying, you know, even if it's switching to this new UM grab and go model UM, where the sort of and on our part, the expectation isn't to have this excellent service and experience and food taste in the same way. And for me even I have been very um uh, I would say intentional about supporting my small businesses in the area. So making sure that I am ordering take out what everybody don't have. Everybody not bawling like you missed the market, Mark, I'm

not even high. And like you look at the refrigerator. I don't have a big silver refrigerator. My refrigerator it is white it ain't even white anymore. It's beige, kind of like little beige. There's other things that you're doing, though, support black businesses, small businesses, and ask what I've rhym doing within my means. My point. The biggest black business I'm supporting right now is the movement of He She We. Everything else is secondary ship. I love you Mark with

your handsome self. Thank you, Markey mar Nicklas. I understand what Mark is saying, but it's just so many people. When I see those lines, you know how they have the long lines for people to get the pandemic test. They have long lines like that here and in Florida for people to get food. And a lot of these kids that are not going to school, that was the only meals that they have was at school. So now school and I make this make sense to me. Y'all

opening restaurants, and we live in southern California. I understand you can't do this in every state, especially the cold climate states, but y'all opening restaurants for outside of entertainment. Y'all opening the shows that you can sit outside, but you're not opening the classrooms where we can sit outside and our children can learn. Because it's outside. Oh, they're

not making any money like that. I blame Betsy Divos for that because it should you why would you establishments they're building like little tents and everything for PEP people outside, build tense for these keys to go back to school. That's one of the arguments that um, you know, was mentioned in the article that Else cited earlier, is how Europe made the choice to during their lockdown. They said,

you know, we can build outside classrooms. It is easier for us too, because there is some truth in the fact that children don't spread the virus the same way adults do, so it was safer for them to have children in school, not disrupting that structure, while they closed businesses like bars, pubs, sporting events that gathered large numbers of older people who might be more susceptible to either

contracting or spreading the virus. So their model was to indeed kind of flip what we did here, and that was to have children continue to learn and have their have their So I'm pretty much a genius because I live with three kids, so I won't catch you. You shouldn't. All right, let's give this conversation a break and listen

to a few quick ads will be right back. Oh my god, well, hello, my gorgeous T t J. Let me introduce you all on this laugh and learn to who T t J. And is T t J and is every auntie that you've ever wanted to have that will box you in. T T JAN will multiply divide and subtract anything that you need to know, and then slads your twenty and say, don't tell your mama gave

you this twenty. Hey, hey, everybody, you know I just had a very interesting conversation that is noteworthy where people are getting confused the white angel eat evangelicals with making a broad stroke with all television ministries, and what we need to understand about the white secular, well, they're not secular. The even evangelicals is that they get a lot of all money. So you're gonna see the Kenneth Copeland's and the Paul of whites um acting a donkey about the

election because they get oil money. So now that they just want abortion ended and they want their their guns, they can push that narrative from the money that they received from the oral companies. So that's why their messages don't look like secular television ministries so you know, anybody can pick up the Bible and make the narrative support

their ideas. But they are jumping up and down. Kenneth Copeland is standing in front, laughing really hard about the election, and he can sell that it's because they are funded by all money. And Paula white too. And the bad thing about paul is that we gave her her platform black churches. The who said, I see what I said, the bitch who said about the African angels right right, she needed some African angels on this. You know she

got her platform by way. Yes, So you know, once again, religion has always has been used as a weapon to control black folks. So I just want to plant that seed to think and know for yourself. Quit looking for anybody who walks up with the Bible to tell you how to live your life. For whatever you believe, and if it's the Bible, then you live it as close

as you can to the ten commandments. Don't sit up and let somebody think for you, because at the end of the day, with the money that they're getting from the all pack, they don't want brown, black and people that look like us to succeed or have opportunities and so they can fund those churches to push their narrative. So everybody that says listen to what I have to say,

because I have a Bible. How do you think Jim Jones got those people over there when you let people know that you're desperate, that's the way they and that. And that's exactly what they find t g J. And they find people who weaken they soul in this system. See, they understand that this the s on Superman's chest, and we have discussed this numerous times before, does not stand for a superperson. It stands to save yourself if you

lost in amazes of your mind. It's so easy for somebody to manipulate who you are and be gover, which is what I was trying to explain to my seven, to your daughter, because I'm not free from it in my own house, even though I know I'm a monster in my house. But when the world get ahold of you, especially when you found it, and they can found any weeks about any empty space, the crack they're getting in,

they get in and they control these people. Man, a lot of these people are being man controlled because they don't know who they are. It's really sad. Yes, and I'm not gonna spend the next four years trying to counter Trump. But we all have to be smarter about our choices and don't let people walk up to you or preach whatever and change the narrative to support their own self professing agenda. It's so important, teacher, and said, teach you. J and said, don't let anybody walk up

to you with a Bible and control you. Now, don't let nobody stand on TV and hold the Bible upside down in front of the church that they ain't never been in. Either. They might lose the elections that you see these people doing that the way we see young black men and women wanting to be rappers because rappers have glamorized that it's easy, it's fun. And don't get me wrong, I know it's a crap, but that's the reason these people are reaching out to you. Because they're

on TV. It looks like I'm so you know, in touch with God, and you see how He's blessed me with your money, with trains, planes and radios. You wanna be me, you believe me, You're gonna so into me. Just be smart. Let's not be caught like this again. Make your decisions based on facts that you know, Paula got up there making a fool of herself and we and we seem to forget that she was. She was slopping around with Ben in here and he went back

to his wife. She has used herself as in this Kenneth Copeland who was standing in front of his his country congregation, standing there, he talking and laughing, talking about that Trump has really won. When you see people that are okay with making foods out of themselves and they're willing to gamble on themselves, they're getting some deals in their back pocket. Well, we can't just blame the white

preachers though, Tackers. Remember when Trump was the president, when he was the presidents here, now, all those black preachers that was in his office huddled up with him and talking about he was the only black president ever and one of the niggas that all them niggas, and that goes. I think all of them lost their church and one of them died. One of them died from the COVIC.

And I'm not just saying that the white ministry. I'm saying when you see folks gambling and they're going on their platform because a lot of those ministry these or ministers that they had to come up with. For the black ones, they didn't even have churches, but they were willing to go pro Trump because they were hoping that they could get some crumbs like diamond and rough or diamond and self or diamond or whatever. They were willing

to compromise themselves for a level up. But what I'm saying to everyone is when somebody you see is willing to gamble for that falsehood, you know they're they're getting a back paper. And that's for the Black church, the black churches too, because as soon as uh they started tampering with the boxes in Texas, I was the first one to say, you have a lot of black mega churches in Texas. Why are they not doing mobile pools to get people to drop off their value. So it's

not like I'm color shaming at all. I'll say it to all because once you start breaking in uh X amount of money, it turns into a corporation. And I have no beef about how you run your your your house of worship because I know what dwells inside of me and I don't have to get that's anybody that's in scripture Jane, the Lord will not show up to a man made temple. God does not show up at man made temples. That's in the Bible. God is wherever

you are and wherever you think he is. That's what he is for you for you see, that's what people keep losing. Oh, I gotta be in this part of this great church. I gotta be on the deacon board and us you don't have to be. And you could be in your bathroom, in the shower, and then they go right there with you because he And when I say that, nigga, I'm not disrespecting a little. Whatever relationship you have with your God, that's on you and him. This is the relationship I have with that man who

takes care of me. That's j C. That's my boy. And I will tell him, thinking what you want me to do, because I'm skied. I don't know what to do. I want us forget proactive and not reactive. I just you know, I don't even want to talk about this, this this idiot anymore. I want to see people being pro active in their lives, no more reactive. You know, if we have to hit the ground running win the pandemic. You know, people running here trying to buy up all

the toilet paper. Then the people who had to wait on pay day they couldn't buy no toilet paper. Be proactive in your household. You don't have you an emergency UH bank set aside, and then it doesn't have to be hundreds and hundreds. Live within your means. Wisely, you better use a T shirt if you run out of toilet y'all never use a T shirt always. I'm the only one, absolutely not t Jan. We can't you. We can't get it like this unless you give it to us. Thank you you you know you get go and go.

I love you guys more and congratulations to both of you guys. Thank you for joining us. Jane always, as always, y'all follow ways Williams because she gives y'all the knowledge, the power and the glory. Baby t t Jan was going on and now I said, come on, Jane, get

it and laid it all out. And you're not talking about this about something else being compared UH saving and all that, because we were talking about there are several people who thought they had it, you know, together, in the time every first hit I told everybody I acknowledge for everybody to go take money out the bank. To have a cash stash in the house, not all your money, but just in case of emergency, because we were so unsure. It was the unsurety which is still is other pandemic.

We don't know what's going to happen. We don't know which way it is going because of government and the people at the top not telling us anything. My problem with Fauci was not even before, even before, well after the whole age pandemic in the eighties, was this time when he was a part of Trump's team, which was so many others. Bolton, the only one out of the whole group that I would trust was Mary Trump because she didn't have a vested interest in it. She wasn't

part of the government. She was just the niece. Was that a mayor? She was just the niece. But all these book writers that came out after the fact, Cohen the lawyer, Bolton, Yeah, don't don't wait, don't throw the rock and hide your hand. You know, if you knew it when it was happening, and it was happening until the American people make us important, not color or race,

make us important as American people. Since you you pledged to be a certain part of service, you know, and then you'll want to come out after the fact that we're supposed to believe you. When Faucci stood behind Trump and Trump said some outrageous ship. I couldn't like outrageous shit every day, and Founci put his hand down, laughing as if I'm listening to this lie and I'm gonna

let this life flow because you spoke after him. You were supposed to step to the mic and said, nigger, you lying, This ain't has going You putting these people's lives And what do you do though in that situation? Seriously, do you really do that? I'm saying, I see you, but I guess he asked the wrong bit. Y'allus. You know what I would have because I do think that there's a certain level of respecting the core. Um, that's

what the chain of command from home. See that that you go that that's respect came from Baraco President Barack Obama. So you would have given him that respect. Think about who was speaking. So I'm going to respect the way you make me feel. Trump ain't never made nobody feel respect and not been his own fucking wife. I know, Milan. You can't wait, Milan, you're telling nigga in Slovakia and then he lost, so he can roll the funk out

out please. I'm just saying, you know us in every language, Nigga, you lost every language, every language I don't even speak but one maybe too like Ebonis. But in every language you lose boom. It's uh, It's tough because I do think that there's a situation where so many people were caught off guard with COVID nineteen and what to do and how to react where they prepared. I watched a great interview on the Breakfast Club shout out to Breakfast

Club with with Chris Rock. Chris Rock was talking about how he had to adjust his own fin Chris Rock is a millionaire, but he wasn't prepared for not working for an entire year and what it would mean. So he said that he made some different financial decisions. You know that everyone needed to be prepared and and I think that it was such a shift for people to do things differently, who had what they considered responsible jobs, regular revenue streams that were disrupted because of a pandemic.

I think that goes back to what Jan said about putting away some money and we will see. So the difference would be like whether Chris rock Ordo Hugeley you maintain you have this huge lifestyle that runs like a machine, and you know you're spending sixty a month in bills. It's not talking about personal money, just in bills because you're making a million dollars every three months. But then when that's cut off, you know your lifestyle. You don't

want your lifestyle to change. So if you're not ready for that, you're gonna either have to alter some things, cut back, or you're gonna have to find some other method of means to continuously live this particular lifestyle, which I can't even see you live in that same lifestyle right now because you can't even go anywhere. You can't do anything in zoom comedy. Just to me, I don't like the zoom comedy. There's no instagratification. I need the

energy of the people. I think that's why even talking about laugh and learn from Me had been difficult with some people, because I am acutely aware that there are a number of people who are suffering. And then for you and I, people like, oh wow, this happened so quickly. People don't see the work that goes into um everything

behind the scenes. So when this happened, and I wanted to scream from the rooftops, jump all over the place, but you want to be respectful of other people who may not have had an opportunity at the same time. Because this has been such a difficult year for so many people, how do you responsibly And I guess this is one of the questions I threw out there too to the flamets as well. How do you responsibly celebrate your own successes when you're in the midst of what

is clearly a traumatic moment for so many people. You surround your people that celebrate your joy, because you will celebrate theirs. So if somebody is angry with you for getting a blessing that ain't got ship to do with you, that don't have nothing to do with me, I'm not gonna rub it in your face like I'm gloating, But I'm it's okay for you to be happy for you because somebody else might not be that happy for you.

That's okay. I experienced that what they ready, I lost three or four friends after they're ready, So I experienced that you can't. I can't make you happy for me if you upset and because what the people want to see you do well, just not better than them, just not better to speak, it's the true people want your friend. My friends have been around me and when we were tight and struggling the whole flame you it's gonna be okay. One day, you're gonna make it. One day you're gonna

get your break. And then I got a break, and then y'all broke away. It's like that old of fable, who gonna help me bake the bread and you're getting all the flower when the weak and the sugar. But I'm too busy. I guess then when the bread all baked and you get button good button ship on the thrill, but all that good is smelling at good. Oh I want my pieces. No, I'm not. I'm not sharing with you. You didn't help me. I'm not sure that's exactly how

that nurse you know what I'm talking about. You. So yeah, so everybody is not going to celebrate you. So and it's okay. And people lose sight of that. Oh you bragg and you gloat and you know, I've been in the game for thirty years. Some people get in the game, be two years and get a break. Thirty. So I was supposed was to celebrate me, and you're supposed to be happy for you. That's not discrediting what somebody else did. You always hustle. You won't TV long before you want

to fucking in me. I didn't win. I lost to Eddie much Eddie. Don't do that. Don't do that. I lost to Eddie Murphy. But who to lose to? How great is that? So you know you can't. You can't. That's that's other people's stuff. People take in stuff differently. And you know I talked to you all about this all the time. What you put in your psyche, in your DNA stays in your psyche in DNA. If you can avoid some ship avoided, so close us out there, talk to us. I wish your final thought for today.

Final thought for today is, Lady and John. We we are in the midst of a life, a life altering, life killing pandemic. People are dying in droves. I can't tell nobody what to do. You're grown, but you need to be more responsible. That's the first law of being an adult is to be responsible. Please wear your mask, Please practice social distance. It's not a statement, it's not a political you're saving not only your life, but generations of last probably in your own home, because you're gonna

take it and give it to somebody. The loneliness of dying with the pandemic with COVID nineteen is terrible because if you go to the hospital, nobody can come see you. Practice social distance and where your man's please use your life, so I believe in it. I believe in using my life, so I spread everybody, and I just want people that this will be over. I don't know when or how or how long, but it will be over. So we need to be here to see the sunshine on the

day after the COVID is fixed. You take a vaccine if you want to. I'm not suggesting that you do or you don't. I'm not. I wouldn't give a damn. Who brings baby isn't need to be Jesus and all two of disciples to bring it to me. You know, all them two disciples was gangster, so I might trust them because the niggers was robbers, murderers, killers, rapists, petties.

You know, it's a training up in there. You know one of the disciples, you know, somebody dressed in drag I'm just saying, in biblical days, they still got it there.
