My Momma, Ya Arm! (with Skye Townsend)

that you won't. I would do it. If I had a limousine, I'd have that too, so I don't know you'd have water bed and then i'd wrap about it. So I don't really see the big deals. Yeah, I wouldn't know. Money stuff I can't tell me there is Welcome to my mom and told me the podcast where we dive deep deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories and we weren't to finally prove that crank that by Soldier Boy was in fact funded by the Marvel Cinematic Universe to take eyes away from and discredit DC

during the Superman movie rollout. My name is David Bording. WHOA I'm like stink Kerman and I'm I'm processinging. I'm pieces wait so you're saying, you're saying that Marvel spent money to make to make this soldier boy crank that super the Superman these holes and have a negative effect overall.

They knew the dance was gonna work. They knew people were not gonna people were not gonna think upon Superman kindly after that, right, Superman seems like a real piece of shit after Yeah, he's fucking slapping his sperm on a lady's back after after a nice time. I think maybe you misread what that dance was. Oh is that not? Did y'all not hear that? Conspiracy theory? This isn't a common knowledge conspiracy thing. This is for sure conspiracy on conspiracy.

What are you saying? I'm saying that it is. It was a relatively well known conspiracy theory where I'm from that the Soldier Boy dance had a double meaning in that you would come on a lady's back and then slap the sheets on that come, thus making a cape that she is forced to walk around with. She is Superman in this? She well, yes, but man, that Superman. I think that was less of a regional thing. I

think it's more of an age thing. I think young men have a lot of conspiracies about coming on women's back and what's gonna happen after that, as opposed to it's gonna be anything other than you're gonna get her a towel and say thank you. But you know what I mean, he's what I was like, Yeah, he was like my father listened to Soldier Boy differently than I that yes, yeah, because young guys always like yeah, and it's like, no, you wanted to go to see what

are you talking about? And now you're grateful And so that's because that doesn't let's break this down through what we're saying scientifically. You finished, you slap the sheets on her back, and then she just walks around like she doesn't clothes on, or like she's got to go back

to work as well. This is just I think. I think that if she wants to put her Auntie as uniform over that cape and and walk what you're saying and walk into the office a little more powerful than when she left, that's her business, because she just all right, baby, listen, listen, listen. Oh oh five was nuts. Yeah, it was a wild time. I think you're you're landing on something very legitimate in

my mind. The only thing bigger than our dreams was our T shirts and put that on a T shirt that our guest today, she has watched us waste at this point in innumerable amount of time. It's it's almost unbelievable that she has not left. She she for some reason, seems to be enjoying herself, and frankly, it baffles me. She's far better than whatever this has been, and yet here she is bullshitting with the likes of us. She's

so funny, so talented. You know her best from her work on A Black Lady Sketch Show, which is appearing April fourteenth. I think is season three or four? Excuse me, brand new season coming out April fourteenth. She's so funny. I love her so much. Give it up for sky Towns Day. Yeah, oh man, what an intro? Hell yeah, I tried to hit a drop through you my mouth. It didn't work. How dare you don't miss the next drop? Okay don't Yeah, Lee, you are supposed to hit it

after season four and then it was city Bar. It's not good, lady. Wow, I'm disappointed. I'm out of here. This is is done, this is over. But imagine if it would have been where it was supposed to be. That would have been I would have felt special. I just you need to tighten up. Okay, tighten up a million. Are you reading journal? Everything you watch the You're like, hey, at least get the drops right. If you're gonna play city boys, city boy, you gotta be man man next time.

It's okay. I believe in you. I feel really optimistic about this. I feel like the mouse is going to do what it needs to do the next time, and we're gonna get it grown. You know, Thank you, thank You're welcome. You're welcome. I'm here for you. We have to tighten up because we have a conspiracy theory that you came to us with. That that I'm excited about. I think is it has a level of controversy to it, a little bit of a bite to it. I think, uh one one could say, you said, my mama told

me you can't cook if you have skinny arms. Yeah, I m tell us. You know, honestly, this one is kind of triggering because I'm gonna give you the backstory. Okay, So so hold on, I'm about to just sell all my business. But that's fine because I haven't had shame in a long time. So okay, So I was in a relationship, right, I embarrassed myself for a living. I'm like whatever. So I was in a relationship for a really long time, seven years, right, and then I decided

to embark on a journey of sexual liberation. Right. That was about dating and getting to meet a bunch of people and blah blah blah. And so I had met a guy. Oh no, I wish I know. I was on a journey. I was just like, I'm going to meet people at bars and walking down the street and I'm gonna socialize, and you know, it was great. It was a great time in my life. However, thank you

so much. So I met a guy from New York and we were dating, and I had made some soul food, right, I know, hold on, so there's only well, there's only two ways this story goes. That food. Please, that's what I'm gonna feel myself, please black So, oh my god, I can't feel myself on a podcast. It's so bad. Okay,

So literally, so mind you, I'm all in. You know, I never dated a guy from New York at this point, you know, you know, he would call me sweetheart, and baby and honey and like all these things, and like I just wanted I wanted to give this man the world. Okay, So I'm cooking and I'm like, you know, I'm making some salt food and I wanted to invite him over to have some, and um, you know, he calls me and he's like can you cook? And mind you you

know I'm from the legs. So he got it out in my head, you know, and like the thing is, I'm very aware that's a crazy way to respond dinner invitation though New York is nuts. Can you you don't even have space? Just be excited your house man, Like, you don't have a car. What do you thinking? I cook? Like what you live amongst rackets and roaches. Let's them down on people who don't have cars. They could just they could just they live in urban centers for a

long time and then they don't. You don't need to get one. Maybe maybe they have a complicated relationship with Maybe they don't see this. There's gonna be a plot with in this. It's gonna be like your cousin or something. I know you're gonna be like I know this guy. So you know, he asked me if I could cook, and and basically, you know, I know, I'm from LA, so I know when people think of cooks, they're not like, oh,

a woman from LA is really gonna feed you. Well, I know, I know what I'm up against, you know what I mean, I'm not going to argue that. So I felt really optimistic about the meal until he was like, you know, I just you know, I love everything about you, but like I just feel like, I don't know, like if a girl like she got skinny arms, I don't really think she could cook. And I'm like, what do you mean by that? And He's like, you know, I just feel like I don't know, like I feel like

Southern women or you know whatever. And at this point is just the insecutors are building, right, I'm like, God, do you even like kissing me? You know? So so I'm just having them. I didn't even know, dude, from me your kissed until you just said that. Oh right, I didn't even know that was how they got down. He thought they swipe their metro card across your face. Oh my god. Oh that is so triggering. Oh god, oh,

oh my god, I'm not going to survive this. So yeah, so that really kind of just created a complex in me. And of course growing up I heard like, you trust the chef if she's thick, you know, you wanted to have some hips or whatever, and like, the women in my family are beautiful, but wow, we do not have body, We do not have hips, We do not So he really just unlocks some shit at this point because I'm like you, it's like it's like straight up and down, you know what I mean, maybe a little chee chee,

but like rouse straight up and down like distance runners. Yeah, swimmers, swimmers shoulders. Y'all got shoulders, and that's that's what people are gonna talk about them, shoulders. I think it's progressive that you come from a family of black swimmers. Oh my god. Yeah, So we are not thick. Okay, we are not. When we gain weight, it's it's our faces and our bellies. It's never gonna be no booty. It's never gonna be like, oh she put it on like she got thick. It's just there's not a single woman.

So when he's aga into that, I'm like, well, damn. Like then I start spiraling, can anyone in my family really cook? And then there's another level. No, my mom my mom doesn't cook, so then I'm like, damn man, Like ever, like if my mom's cooking quite a minute, what a silly way of asking that question. Yeah, well because like people have called, but I mean after working. Still no, no, Like it's like, okay, I got a salad from Shider Joe's. I'm gonna just dice up a

banana like my mom will not when she's salad. Whoa, Yeah, that's that's crazy. These are two separate These are two separate meals, two separate meals. Yeah, I didn't like it. You don't worry to cook if bananas and salad out of the kitchen. Oh no, that's how you make. That's how you make. That's like one of those cursed combinations. No no, no, no no, no no turns the chemical. So those are two separate meals. You know, I have to establish that that the banana is the post snack, and

then it'll be like a Trader Joe salad. Like there's just no effort in the kitchen from my mother. So never grew up coming home where I'm like, oh, what's on the stove? Like that was never the vibe your father cook? No, uncle, don't know. That's grandmother though, grandma on either side. Okay, so I didn't spend a lot of time with my dad's side, and I think they could cook. I think they could my grandma, my mom. You're not absorbing that the Lenny, You're right, you're not

getting the cultural experience with them. Question, and this is gonna yeah, yeah, how many spices are in your cabinet right now? Okay, here's the thing. I'm not afraid of this question. I know you thought you was gonna throw me off a little bit. I want to work with you to this. No, no no, no, hear me out though. This is where I'm This is where I'm struggling with this, right because I do believe after studying how to cook, I'm like, Okay, through trial and error, I feel like

maybe I have broken this conspiracy theory. You broke the generation. I broke the curse because maybe like fifty spices in my cabinet, fifties pretty, that's a lot. That's a lot. It's a lot, and I didn't want it. I didn't, Okay, And that's only one. That's only one I'm doing. I just have it. Gets expert. That's all you need though, really, it's all you need green anything, you know. So so yeah, this is where that comes from, is he got in my head. He still came to eat the meal and

he loved it. But he was like, oh, okay, thank you, whoa thank you. That's not that's not how I thought that story. Thank you so much. So I was nervous when you said so food is a catchall. Yeah yeah, yeah, he turned around, thank you so much. And it was like, I really went in. You know, I did my greens. I made sure it had to smoke turkey. I you know, I did my mac, I did you know my mac and cheese. I just I really went in. I didn't

do no catfish. So I'm gonna keep it cute. I'm not the girl that's gonna maybe that's like really when you know you can cook, because you can like fry some catfish, So I yeah, you gotta be in a silent enough relationship that you can be kind of stinky afterwards and still, you know what I mean, because catfish that everybody stink after you fria. Yeah, like I just we weren't there. I was still trying to just keep

him happy, so he just would stay. You know, I knew, I knew we didn't have much longer, you know, and I knew he wanted somebody thicker, So how is this really trying to just you know, I was trying to just keep home happy, you know, but um, yeah, it's just it. It got in my head and then I really started thinking about it that the women that I know, maybe it's not just they arms, but the thicker girls

that I know just really just throw down. And I looked at like all my you know, swimmer friends, and I'm like, damn, it might have been these four thirty practices really are affecting our cooking. But it's given like thirty five thirty thirty five, my little waste friends can cook. I'm like, m so, I don't know if he was

onto something. But then I'm like, I have heard this a lot that people are like, oh if I don't if I'm not a cookout and you know, the cook's arm don't look a certain way, I ain't need a ship. And I'm like, is this really a real thing or can you learn how to cook? Or it's a black thing that you're a cook or you're not a cook? M are these are heavy, like did I learn how to cook? Or did I unlock something within myself, right, is there is there like a secret fat arm inside

of your your soul? You were you, you were your Yeah, maybe I'm not a swimmer, you know what I'm saying, Like, I just I think I unlock something. But I'm also very you know, in a little coal, I'm very logical. So once I figured out what to partner together, I understood that the seasonings were a family, and then I could really cook, you know, and then I could just I'm like, oh, this needs a little paprika. Oh, let me get a little episode of vinegar cap because that

needs a little tang. Then I'm like, did I unlock it or did I learn? No? I mean, you're already I don't even know what so it's there. There are light vinegars and there are dark vinegars. It's dark vinegar, you know. Oh well, then bring it out, yea, So maybe I can cook. If you didn't know what apple cided vinegar is, I mean, I'm gonna take that. I goes.

I will say that this is interesting because I do have this thing where it's like pretty racist, but I definitely feel like inherently black people can cook, like just like like in the wilderness, blind tests. Black people can cook better than way. I just think that. Okay, I think white people are are the worst in cooking because they were the furthest from the spices traditionally, right, Yeah, they had to find all those wars for spices everybody

else mastard spy. Yeah yeah they didn't. They didn't discover spices as much as they just kind of took them from other people throw them away. Yeah, you didn't start with that like manual, you know what I mean, Like you're second hand interpretations of space. But us it's so ingrained. It's like, you know how everybody from the Midwestern kind of play basketball. Yes, it's like the same, it's the same kind of Okay, Okay, yeah, I feel like that's fair though I feel like it's in US. Yeah, so

so sky if I'm if I'm hearing you correctly. You do recognize that there is a disparity between the between the thick armed lady and the not thick armed lady, but that the thin armed lady does have the potential to find her thick armed lady at home. Yes, I do believe I but maybe this is just me being obsessed with like learning that I feel like anything can be learned. Like I think cooking is not something you

got it or you don't. I think when you just cook and you cook blindly and you're like, okay, yeah, this needs a little teaspoon of this. And people who don't even use recipes, that's a skill. And I don't use recipes, so I might just think I'm crazy or I've unlocked it. But yeah, my thing is, I feel

like if you really study, you can unlock it. I just think there's certain people who the Thicker Girls were passing down the recipes and they just had that sauce to where if you have a skinny arm, you just gotta work a little harder, but you don't have to lose hope. I mean, first of all, if there is a Thick Girl recipe Club, please email me Ami dot com. Yeah, go ahead, and we're gonna need to get that going right now. I wouldn't mind getting knives on it as well.

If everybody's gonna take a look. If it's like the version version of the Skulls, like a secret fraternal order, I will say, and we have to go to a break, but I will say that this feels like if I'm hearing you correctly. Almost an inspiring story. Yeah, this can be a story of triumph if you just believe in the skinny arms you have and not the the rumors, the sellacious rumors of yesterday. Yeah, this is a story about embracing yourself. I mean, we're really gonna get into

this is turning to the Oprah Show. Honestly, I want to inspire those who struggle to put on weight in anywhere but they're gut because I'm that girl. Thank you so much. This is this, Yeah, this is this is a powerful stuff. We're gonna be back for another special episode of Mama Tom. At the end of this episode, it's just gonna be It's just gonna cut to me and like, like, do you or someone you love? He groad shoulders, big heart. Yeah, it's Delici like it's okay,

It's okay. So yes, that is that is where I'm at right now. Thank you so much for summing that up so beautifully. All right, well, we'll be back with more scouts, doubts and the more my Mama told me. Would you say that you're racist? Not at all. No, Look I'm a dog. He's as black as can be. We are back covering the big issues, really the big, big, big arms issues. Today we're trying to figure out whether

or not women and man with skinny arms kin cook. Yeah. Yeah, I wonder if if if the males suffer, I'd say that maybe that's the right word from the same sort of like constraints. Yeah. I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna line up a bunch of people and ask whose food do I want, the skinny man is the last person. I'm that's really skinny man is the last person.

And I'm not talking about I mean I'm not if I want like duck little role or some shit like that, maybe I'll go to the skin I don't like you said that, Yeah, but there was like it's like you almost spit when you said it. I didn't like that over there because I'm doing friends a couple of times anyways, Like so like, yeah, if I want some crazy shit, but if I want like meat loaf, I would never

I'll say this. I think personally, I always trust the biggest man in the room, right if I'm being honest, But then the second person I trust, maybe the most, is the skinniest man in the room because something you you see them like them weird skinny dudes who like, for some reason know how to just like do insane stuff with meat. Mayby's beating the shit out of a rib and just and somehow just falls off a bump. So I don't know, it's give him meat a good

rebom there it is. Yeah, I do trust little guys in general, just because I'm like, you've found some tricks to make it this far because so little, but you know what it is. Also, it's like, I think back in the day, they would see like, oh, if that person's thin, they're they're underweight, they're underfed, right, And then the more we learn about body types and metabolism and whatever, we're like, she could be eating real good and just

you know, she just don't hold up to it. So that's why I'm like, I think the more we learn about body types, these girls could be eating good. Like there's this white girls chef online. I don't know if you've seen her, and she no, I haven't. Okay, okay, no, hear me out. Yeah, she's like, oh, day you know, day fifty of cooking for my boyfriend and she'll make the wildest meals. Like she has a fan base just

off the shocks actor. But she's throwing down and I'm kind of like, I don't know, I think we just when you say the wildest meal, she I'm gonna find the link. No, no, no, I know what you're thinking, and I won't tolerate it. I know because this is You've already changed my mind on one thing all because I thought you were gonna blow the sofood and you killed it. Sorry, I killed him in whatever you gotta killed it. So whatever you gotta tell me, I'm in.

I mean, there are a number of videos I've seen of like these white girls who like will mix weird like they'll put like cream soup and then like a hunk of meat and yeah, cheese and a can or they're always trying to cook some new and a new thing, you know what I mean. They're like, you know, you could baked salmon and the toaster and you're, yeah, I'll kill you. I kill you. You kill your mother with that mouth. I'll beat you in the head with that

toes Are you always what it is? Person a friar? Hey, it does hold on. You can put an egg in the air frier, you can you can whoa. This is all I'm back on the ounce with you have. I know, I really I should have mentioned that. I shouldn't have said that. I tell us, so there there is a person, a white chef that you, I guess enjoy that. You see who does that though, Yeah, he says that you and I guess enjoys. I'm a journalist. I'm a peer purely, that's always what I can. But you're saying that this

person does in fact throw down. And she's doing like smother park chops, she's doing, you know, surfing to her for her man after work. She's doing so food Sunday. And I was skeptical. I hear y'all, you know, but I really just I had to open up my mind and I'm looking at it and even the people in the comments are like, damn, she did that. And I said, Okay, it's not just me. So I'm telling you I think it can be learned. I think it's like science. Right,

Cooking's like science. Once you go, oh, you know what starts a good bass? Lemon olive, oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Okay, I got a basse? Now you feel me like it's a science. I was never ineligible bull to play football because of my cooking. It's all I know how to. I know how to make a castle role. I do not know how listen, Yeah, maybe you should learn how photosynthesis works and the castle role. Okay, this is what I'm saying. Those are achievable for the common man. I

would hope what I've done. Okay, Okay, I just yeah, I think it's like it's if once you think about it like that and that you know A A plus B and then you get to see it's like, okay, like it's just you know what I mean? That was deep, right? Yeah, total, No, we have totally I go off a field really cooking off. Oh yeah, I could do it with my eyes. I just kind of I'm smelling it, I'm tasting it. It's like I'm around. Yeah, it's most don't you like it needs like, oh it needs a little tang, so I'm

gonna go to. Oh it needs a little salt, so I'm gonna go to That doesn't feel like an artistic science to you, It feels artistic to me. It does not feel like okay, that's fair. Science to me feels like A Y equals MX plus B all over. You

know what I'm saying. Okay, that's fair for me. It's alchemy. Anyway, I did some research Sky on your conspiracy theory, and obviously when I first read this conspiracy theory, and I'm amazed that hasn't come up yet, But my first thought was the very popular meme that circled around of big Mama your arm. Yes, do we all remember Big Mama

your arm? And from that's right, Big Mama, the matriarch of the family has diabetes and and for some reason is losing feeling in her extremities and burns her arm on a stove, and the little boy says, big Mama, your arm to alert her to her arm being literally on fire without her knowledge. He's he's big now, he's the grown man, and I think he's about I think he's one of those that that pretty much marked the

same size. Is it like Nicky from Fresh Prince? Yeah, it kind of has those vibes where it's just like, oh, you just a man version of the boy you were and we can't got us than that. As far as yeah, he was, he was so cute as a kid. And then they can't last. It can't last. Like I'm telling you right now, if you have a but ugly kid, kiss him because you will go well into the future. You don't want your kid. You don't want your babies to be too cute. No, if they're if they're sick.

He was on like six sitcoms. Wow cute, you know what I mean? Like, he was on a lot of fucking ship as the cute kid, and they were and as soon as they were like, hey, this ain't working no more, it did not work, you know what I mean, They couldn't take and what's he gonna and what's he gonna say? Now? Hey, I was, Hey girl, I was. I was nicky on Fresh Prince. You remember when they did the jump on It dance and she'll be like the cute one and and and spit shows spit after anyways.

So so obviously that meme is one that's become very popular, and to the point that you've made Sky a lot of the associations for the meme are people essentially saying the exact same thing that a thick arm is better for cooking that. Like it's always the meme is like, big Mama, your arm next to some delicious food, because that motherfucker went in and it's it's a thick lady that makes Yeah, yeah, it's the it's I think the meme started the conversation and then everybody just chimed in

and was like, yeah, yeah, I ain't. No, well, no skinny girls, you know, kitching on the cook out. And I'm like, but what if she just as a fast metabolism. So you're saying, and I like this, you're suggesting then that that maybe it's not even a real heartfelt feeling that people are going with. They're just repeating some shit that one internet bozo turned into a popular thing, or they just never met a girl with the skinny arm that cooked and that's fine, that's valid. Then it's like, okay,

you know what I get it. The woman who cooks in your family, she's think she got body and you trust her, so she's who you feel like? Whoa? Whoa just feels like a different I will say, think and having body does not make me trust at least not the thing I'm thinking of it. I think we're talking about the difference between sturdy and might be. I think you're drop terms. I think we all know we I think we all know the kind of arms we're thinking.

Oh god, okay, guys, so you arms. If the arms got that plate over the like if it's like it's like a peak. Is it just the specific part of the arm that you trust or is it does the whole arm matter earth I'm taking I'm taking in the whole body first of all. Okay, that's okay, that's fair. If we're gonna cook, okay, I'm taking in the whole body, it's fair. That's fair. He takes it in slowly, he's not. You're not trying to rest, We're not all night. That's fair.

That's fair. I mean, and I just think there's a level of like, I hate I feel like we go at it a lot on this podcast, and I don't want you. But like, like if Jada Pinkett was like, hey, I'm gonna cook up some dinner, I would be like, quite quite respectfully, no, really, you would refuse it. I do not want who damn. I was gonna be like, here's some berries I forage from the forest, and then and then yeah, I drink Car's gonna be a silly dinner.

I think we can agree it's gonna be a silly She's like, did you know squirrel meat is actually very good for you? I I will say that I I while I would not trust that this is going to be a satisfying dinner, I would not refuse it. And that is where I've I think I've taken issue with some of the responses. Is like, my nigga, it's still a dinner and I'm gonna take that dinner and then have a story afterwards, or I'm not. I'm not refusing

nothing from nobody. If you're gonna make me food, I'll eat it, baby girl, and I will make fun of you after, but I will eat it. That's nice. What if it's bad? I hate to quote the sugar Hill, but have you ever been over to a friend's house and ain't good? Yeah? You just you get me pause for a second, just rap about anything back then? Yeah, they had it so good, so good, it's so good, it's so good. What are you talking about? You had

a bad dinners? I was staring at my end table when realized all my tissue was almost gone, And it's like what you were talking about. They didn't have to have any kind of double ontodres or metaphors. Just's like no TV. So I can see that's not even. It wasn't even the TV's like a black, black black. Let me let me hit you with a little bit more of what I found, and maybe some of this will

help you to prove your point. The meme as it was originally posed, which I think almost has an air of quality similar to what you originally presented, is a little more positive in just celebration of big women rather than a besmirching of the skin that it's more the original meme is basically suggestive of if you if you have a fat arm, I trust you, rather than if you have a skinny arm. So he made it negative on me for no reason. Yeah, he weaponized it against Wow. Wow.

I'm glad he played me, now you know, I really am Like I didn't say that wow. So he made he pulled in all New York. That wasn't fair. It was a positive moment of uplifting a woman that maybe I believe, but he had to flip it and just he had. Yeah, he could have been like, I see the fat arm inside of you. Give me that good fat army, and you could have felt all the positive feels entering into this, and instead you entered it with

and distrust and ultimately it's the reason relationship. Yeah, that's why he wasn't my king. Yeah, I'm gonna say thank you so much. I feel that way, I really do. You know, I blends for the rest of your life. I mean, I wouldn't mind, but I'm happy without them, you know. Also, no shade of New York guys. I really don't want those problems, you really do. I want

to be at peace when I'm walking through mostly white neighborhoods. Yeah, I dodged a bullet because to take something so positive, you know, and then make it an attack on me versus just being open minded, you know, like, why couldn't you just pull up and be like, man, I don't know about this, but I'll try it. He hadn't get in my brain and then make me feel a little iffy about what I did, you know, and do what the rest of it? And this is my issue with New Yorkers. And I do want New York. I want

beef with every single one of you. The top markets we know now, all right, yeah, fuck them, They're dead to me, every every New Yorker. But but part of my issue is we the rest of the country has learned that you have to stuff some feelings down, that some of these are just meant to be private thoughts you don't say out loud that you keep to yourself, and eventually it turns into some kind of sickness in

your body whatever. But New York's like no, I will say every thought out loud at any time that it's available, and it's like, bro, shit, we all none of us would have trusted sky At come over and get anyway. Yeah. Second, she's a little silly, she's skinny, she's a little silly. There's no way this is gonna work out in our favorite Google. But maybe it does, and we gotta figure that out together. I appreciate that. And you shouting out all of New York. I would just like to say,

there we go. I would like to say if the listeners you said, there's a lot for New York, Yeah, a lot, pretty much pretty much all of them. Okay today, lovely. I'm still I'm not giving up on New York men. So I'm I'm single. If you're from New York and you're listening, preferably Jamaican open to Dominican, um, thank you very much. Well, I feel like you're courting your own issues. Yeah, you're asking Pamaican. I think we all know yeah, all right. So I just know I had to know if the

juices were to squeeze but go crazy. I just had to make it clear. Yeah, he had to make it clear. I didn't give up. I didn't give up. He didn't scare me. He didn't scare me. Original don dada. Yes, yes, I want rude boy so cute. No, Oh my god, I'm waiting for him. Oh my god. Oh yeah, so I want I want to take this time to say I want zero smoke with Jamaicans now for any time in my life that I actually come but that I actually agree with. Let's keep this, Let's keep all the Caribbean.

Uh yeah, yes, yes, love Caribbean. I will say that. Additionally, one of the things that that I sort of stumbled across was this article written by this person who argues that this celebration of the the fat arm woman is in fact just connected to our tethering to like slave food and ultimately our own sort of like uh lowered status in America. Food isn't delicious, you know, that's like a cornballs. That's like a very elitist way to look at it. Yeah. I will say that the author is

very clear about that. He does acknowledge, like, yo, this is not in any way suggesting that it's not like better tasting whatever. It's a good fucking meal. But he's like when we sit around and basically like reduce ourselves to to being like the big armed lady makes the best version of the food that nobody wanted that is ultimately killing us. Home You're not here, boy, you don't like it? That's wow? Sky where are you at? How do you feel about this this man's argument? You definitely

he made it heavy, he did. He made it heavy. And then then anytime I think about my ancestors, I get sad. So I'm just gonna be like, I'm gonna get sad. I just I think to have come up with food that tastes that good with limited resources. I'm like, black people are magical, and that's all I can think about. But that's just the thing. The thing piece was a little heavy for me, you know, I mean, I'm not even gonna hold you. Also, what if we French food

is French food is considered the top. I mean, eating fucking cheese and butter over there. It sucks cigarettes and but she gets we're going to get me snails for one hundred dollars an ounce, but I can't enjoy chicken, Like, shut up, bro. Like it's like there is such a thing as over intellectualizing these things. There is. There's first of all, I love your cashion. Second of all, how do you really feel? I like the food? I went

over there? It was good food. I will say that I do think that there is a tendency to sort of like suggests that that soul food has like this lowered value because of the obviously the fat content whatever, like the frying, all of the things that make it not good for us. But it doesn't. They don't often address how many other types of food are really fucking bad. Like a Scotch egg is a fucking fried egg in meat, like it ain't. Yeah, yeah, it me like what you're

talking about, Like that's what I mean. It's like this thing. It's like it's like I understand y wanting to get a wise ourselves, but it's like you're doing that by putting the food below. What is just food? And I like, I like French food, but I am saying they're just over there, it's all milk. But like that's like peasant food and it's still allowed to be considered top tier expensive food, you know what I mean, Like I don't.

It's still like, it feels still very I will also say that it does remind me, though, that part of the reason we celebrate like French food, Italian food is in part because their foods are not like cooked with like secret poisons and ship do you know what I mean? Like yeah, but I mean they also feed ducks. That's not I'm not saying they're good people. I'm saying that literally their their government isn't conspiring with Kello to make

our ship more poisonous. And that's not that's not so food. No, And I think that's the point, right, is that maybe the real problem here is less the the thick armed chef or the food itself, and more the the fucking institutions that make our foods more poisonous than they have to be understandable. That being said, big ladies, thick arms, make me a plate. I'll yes, I appreciate it. I will be saying my stand up dates later coming to the show with a plate. Just put some tinfoil on it.

I'll get to it afterwards. Tell the door guys put it in the green room. I didn't say, so, I appreciate it. I one of the last things I'll point out to you. Well, there's two more things I'll point out. One of the things that he says, and I'm curious to hear you guys thoughts on this is He also says that there's a dangerous sort of like manipulation in the way that we are represented as it relates to

the fat arms. Right that, like a lady with a fat arm is a great cook, we all celebrate her cooking, but when it comes to the actual like selling of the food and the eating of the food, we call in a skinny lady to make it attractive for an audience. Right that, Like it's sweety having a McDonald's meal versus like Irma p Hall still with us. That's big, mama, she could have a McDonald's meal. Why why we don't

let Irma get out there yet? Yes, Hey, I think he just I think his argument is he wants the arma hall spit some bars and they get a sandwich. Yeah, I don't know what you like. Yeah, I'm feeling because I understand what he's making. I think it's thin. I think it's thin. I think I think it's whole premise is thin. I'm trying to like articulate it without just

like yelling about French people. I just like, I understand you're saying what you're saying, but I don't think this is I don't think this is where the hill is to die on for that point. Because also like when you sat because initially when you brought this to us and I started thinking about it, I never even brought race. I mean I thought about it because I think about black people first, but like across the board, I don't

even thin women, white women, I don't want their food. Sure, or it's just like, you know what I'm saying, though, this wasn't a racial This wasn't as much of a racial thing is I think he's making it out to be.

It feels like a bit of a straw man. I think he's using the correlation of the meme and sort of like the frequency at which this meme circulates in a in the black lexicon as its evidence of this being a black Yeah right, but I mean I saw, wait, I've seen when there's just what we're talking about, if we're talking about harmful memes to the culture, Yeah, yeah, that that Jordan crying meme didn't do a lot for emotional exploration. No, I don't think I've cried since I've

seen it. I've never been more certain that I should be stuffing this stuff down. Oh man, I thank God for disassociation. Oh that's You're not gonna catch me weeping in public. That's just where I'm at my therapyture. I'm always torn because my dad is a sick comedian and my mom's a therapist. So my brain is always like, is it funny or is it healing? You know, I like mine doesn't know the difference between those two terms. So that's mine, you know, God bless I give you

a hug. This has been a real wild episode. It's been a real wild ride. It has been a while ride. I'll hit you with one more little piece of evidence. Well, we'll chat about this briefly and then we'll close this thing out. One of the other things that I wanted to look up was where do fat arms come from? You know what I mean? Was the grow Come on, man, Well, that's what I needed to go. I needed official evidence

where fat arms come from. And what I found, which I found to be interesting, was was that they say scientifically it's actually much more genetic than it is just whether you're eating a certain way, diet, exercise type thing that some women. Yeah, and so I think in some ways it maybe is working against your argument Sky that like there are fat armed women even when they are skinny, even when they are whatever the fuck that that maybe just have the source inside of them from the Okay, no, no, no,

I liked where you were going. I have to stop right there. Listen, this is in my argument. I'm merely repeat it back. I heard that episode. Hear me out. This episode is good because we're treading on all our insecurities. No, I totally hear what you're saying. But my thing is this, all the women in my family right like, we can't. We can't. Everybody's like hoping that weight disperses a certain way on a woman's body. Right in my family, we can eat like I mean, queen, and we're gonna get guts.

We're only gonna get guts. We're gonna we'll have tone legs and tone arms and a big belly We're never gonna gain and our arms are our legs. We'll have muscularized legs and a big belly. That's just like how we gain. So when people are like, man, she's just not eating enough, I'm like, no, you don't understand. I just can't disperse it there. But I'm eating good. Yeah,

just don't go there, you know what I'm saying. But I think that's what this is suggesting, is that for some people it is strictly gonna go there and so and so in that way. Yeah, but it doesn't being they're a good cook. It could just be genetics. Maybe they're just airbenders, and we just got to accept that. That's that's you're still leading the talent being in there, you think that that's all I'm I'm not leading anywhere.

I haven't shown my hand once all. I'm why why can't it be if she has big calves, she can look like, oh you've seen the calves on her, she could throw down you know what I'm saying. I would, But this, well, like I said, I think in every part of the Buffalo. Yeah, that's and I always said I thought Big Mama's cooking got worse once they took that leg because she lost some of her powers. You know, you're a bad I can't believe you're so food in

this way. I hope you hide when God strikes you down, like when Goku goes from super sayan two to super saying regularly, you know what I mean, You're still powerful, but but it ain't the same. I just think we gotta program this thing. Man. I'm gonna start saying, if she has a wide waist like me and the rest of my family, she could cook. Okay, Yeah she got Yeah, she got a little broad shoulder in a wide waist

so she can throw down. I gotta just reap program us to open our minds to different types of thickness. You know what, if you're thick in the waist, you know what I'm saying, that's my internet history. Will a test. I am open to all kinds of different thick okay, and I will eat anyone's plate for the thick arms. But you have you have you have made me see

that I was being prejudice and that's not okay. Once again, if you want to bring me a plate, bring it to my show coverage and tinfoil, preferably the cardboard with the thick bottoms. Yes, so there, wow, wow, tip of a blue or red drink to wash it down. I couldn't agree more with with everything that's being said the year, I do think that this has been a very heartwarming, enlightening episode, and I hope that others are walking away

feeling where their their hatred was. Maybe was maybe sitting that that it and have been sitting that that maybe there's a little Hayden in your heart that needs to be left being. Yeah, be more open minded. That's the key to life, right, Like, if you have big calves, you might make amazing salmon. I don't know, like the open mind, Yeah, like you know, Okay, Yeah, they cook pigs in the ground. Period. Well I don't know where they cooked their pigs, but they cook them really good. Yeah,

I might be I might be confusing terms I saw. Yeah, it's okay, it's okay. Sky Could you tell the people at home where they can find you on what cool shit you have? Oh? Man? Uh, where can they find me?
