Diddy's Trial, Tyler Perry’s Secrets & Quirky Questions
81 Plays1 month ago
Celebrity scandals aren’t just tabloid fodder—they’re shaping the culture, and this week’s episode of Unsolicited Perspectives dives straight into the headlines. From the courtroom drama of the Diddy trial to the jaw-dropping $260 million lawsuit against Tyler Perry, we’re breaking down the stories everyone’s talking about—with the kind of sibling banter and sharp wit you won’t find anywhere else.
Is Moneybagg Yo’s new look the result of hard work or a trip under the knife? Are we too quick to judge artists for changing their sound—or not changing enough? And when it comes to pets, is the loyalty of a dog worth the chaos, or do cats have the right idea? We tackle the big questions, the quirky debates, and the everyday drama that makes life so entertaining. #diddytrial #tylerperry #moneybaggyo #celebritynews #HotTakes #unsolicitedperspectives

Music and Artist Evolution Discussion
00:03:20
Speaker
So that's what's going on. But Jay, what's going on with you?
00:03:23
Speaker
Man, it's hot. Man, look, you ain't said nothing but the truth. Shoot. It was almost 100 degrees outside today. It was over 100 degrees up here yesterday. It was, it sounded like... um
00:03:41
Speaker
I don't know what that is. You know, this is where you in the south and it's hot and you hear that harmonica playing. And you just hear that harmonica you see the chain gang and it's a...
00:03:57
Speaker
That's how it feels outside. Yeah, no, it's hot. And you know what? I haven't been going outside except for just to go to the gym, which is basically across the street. and know, ladies and gentlemen, I don't have any updates about that couple in the gym that may or may not be having an affair because I ain't seen them.
00:04:16
Speaker
What's going on? What's the deal? I don't know. I want to know. I kind of, I'm literally waiting for the answer. I don't know what the answer is. And I've been going at the same times and they been coming around.
00:04:28
Speaker
So now I'm a little frustrated. Yeah. little perturbed. do wait We need some closure. I definitely need some closure for my messiness. Yeah. um I had an interesting conversation today with one of my friends.
00:04:41
Speaker
Okay. We were just talking about music. And I don't know how, and oh, I brought up the fact that if you go away for a little while and then try to come back with something new, like a musician, I'm not gonna rock with you anymore.
00:04:56
Speaker
Like, I need you to do the old stuff, I need the hits, I don't like your experimentation, which is horrible artists. talked about that with the... Yeah, it is it is. They don't get an opportunity to grow at all. And I'm so sorry.
00:05:11
Speaker
But and we' were talking about this with Music Soul Child. And I was like, when he was Music Soul Child, he was giving us, you know, that neo-soul realness. then he Then he chopped off the Soul Child.
00:05:23
Speaker
It was just music and it was pop. And I was like, don't like this. And then his that last album... ah ah Victims and Villains. he kind He went back to the music Soul Child roots and it's amazing. I love it.
00:05:36
Speaker
Well, the reason why I had a whole segment, not a whole segment, he was part of a segment of why I did not care about Lil Wayne's new release. He's been gone for too long. I do not care. And then as we're going down the line, my friend was like, well, who would you care? Who was some of your favorite artists? I was like, michael comments Michael actually didn't take a break. It just felt like he took a break and I wasn't really feeling none of his work.
00:06:00
Speaker
but Michael. Jackson. Michael. I mean, Michael. You can't just say Michael. Who else? who What other artist gets one name? I honestly thought we were talking about, you know, modern artists. No.
00:06:12
Speaker
I'm talking about artists that I enjoyed in my lifetime because I'm about to turn 45 years old. Michael never really, Michael never went away. i' always strong Well, maybe he just went away in my eyes. Maybe I'll just stop paying it attention. yeah But I said Jodeci could come back right now And I'd be like, nah, don't want have nothing to do with it. Then my friend said, you know, they lost me when they went from JoJo and KC.
00:06:35
Speaker
And I was like, that was a real shift. Because if you think about it, the After Show, their second album came out in like 95 or 96.
00:06:46
Speaker
And then JoJo and KC came out like a year later. If you go to Forever My Lady, which came out in like 91, And then the show, I think the show, to after the after party and all that came out in 94, 94, 95. And then JoJo and KC.
00:07:01
Speaker
There are a major leaks. I really need you to say KC and JoJo because that's the order in which the that the group was. I don't care about KC. It is all JoJo all the time.
00:07:14
Speaker
Yes, but Casey is the main... Is the main what? He's the voice we know. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Am I getting them confused? You definitely are. Casey is the raspy voice. Oh, yes, I am. The older brother, I think, but... No, no, no, no. Okay. JoJo's the one that looks like a frog.
00:07:35
Speaker
um That's still pretty rough. JoJo is the thick one. JoJo's the thick, bald one. Oh, I thought that was KC. No, you are absolutely right. Wow, I'm trippin'. KC is the little skinny one. Ladies and gentlemen, truth be told, for real, for real, I am a huge JoJoC fan, even though it doesn't come off as that right now. But the point I was trying to make is, they came out with Forever My Lady that had some ballads. It was some sex stuff in there, but it was really, they had ballads, and it was puffy all over there, right?
00:08:05
Speaker
Yes, yeah. After Show was basically a porno so soundtrack. Right. Freaking You is like the main song on there. yeah And there's two versions of Freaking You.
00:08:16
Speaker
And the second version is like seven minutes. And then my friend said it was like, yeah, it's like two minutes of just porn sounds in that song, too. I was like, yes. Then they go yeah to JoJo and KC, which is all my life. i I'm really going to need you to normalize KC and JoJo.
00:08:33
Speaker
Because the group was called KC and JoJo.
00:08:40
Speaker
And fact, it shouldn't bother me much as does. I was about to say, why is that bothering you so much? Because the group is KC and JoJo. I'm trying to get to a point. I'm trying to get to a point. You keep interrupting me. KC and JoJo. Fine. JoJo and KC rolls off the tongue better. It doesn't. Well, for me, it does. Because that's not the group's name. Well, you know, i'm dyslexic, so I turn things around. Anyway, KC and JoJo.
00:09:05
Speaker
So they go from this sex CD as JoJozy and then All My Life and KC and JoJo. And they just complete, it's a complete 180. Yeah, it's all graduation and wedding songs. and i And my boy was like, yeah, that's a sellout. And I was like, yeah, they did absolutely sell. They made more money, but they absolutely sold out.
00:09:23
Speaker
But it was just, yeah if if I go back now and look at the transformation between each record, it's like there are different people every single record.
Personal Stories and Humor
00:09:33
Speaker
But if they came back right now and they tried to do a new album, to hell with that.
00:09:37
Speaker
Get out of here. don't want to hear it. Yeah, they were a different group because cocaine is a hell of a drug. That is... ah Allegedly, ah Allegedly. Yeah. but You got to put, look, we're, we're a public platform. You got to say allegedly. No, you got to say allegedly.
00:09:58
Speaker
You can't just say. Allegedly, I guess. Yeah. Sure. I mean, what you was doing with some reckless speculation and we're going to get into reckless speculation later, but not right now. ah Okay. So the point I was just trying to make is, yeah, don't change on me. Cause I'm a switch up on you.
00:10:14
Speaker
Yeah, I dropped you like a bad habit. I'm sorry. I want the same thing that I've been hearing from you the whole time. I don't want you to grow to mature as an artist.
00:10:26
Speaker
and to I don't want you to do that. Okay? I want you to be the same that you've been the entire time and the reason I fell in love with you guys. Well, you know what?
00:10:36
Speaker
I'm going to call BS on that. And I got a prime example. of somebody that you were a huge fan on and did a switch up and you really rocked with it.
00:10:48
Speaker
Beyonce singing country music. That to me didn't feel like a switch up though. It was absolutely a switch up. She went into a whole different genre. Not if you listen to the album. I mean, it's still it's still very like funky.
00:11:04
Speaker
like it' still It still feels very much her. And yes, I love Cowboy Carter. ah love everything about it. ah You love everything that she does.
00:11:16
Speaker
no No, I don't. Oh, okay. I don't. We've had this thing where I've ive Disgust her acting. ah Talk about her musically. i don't want to come for the, I want the beehive to come for me, but like. Are you willing to throw JoJo and Casey out of the past?
00:11:34
Speaker
I haven't said anything that they haven't said themselves. That time it didn't piss you off because I specifically
Pet Ownership Challenges
00:11:41
Speaker
and purposely said JoJo and KC and you just let it roll. Because I let it go because and I don't like being accused of. No, I didn't say anything that they haven't said themselves. I don't know that we can pull up any quotes that they've actually said that themselves. I don't know if that's the case or not.
00:11:57
Speaker
JoJo, we are not the only ones in the industry that have been through this or are going through this. Through what? This could be the everyday struggle with of any entertainer in the industry because it's not all about Casey and JoJo. Trust and believe.
00:12:12
Speaker
Everyone goes through or has some type of addiction. I don't care for sex addiction, drug addiction, because this industry takes you out of your element of who you are. It's not like... He ain't admitting cocaine. You cocaine. That's...
00:12:27
Speaker
That's Vibe magazine. that But it's not like they haven't discussed their addictions. and their addiction Yeah, but you specifically threw that yayo out there. And we got to be careful because we could be sued now.
00:12:39
Speaker
I mean, we could have always been seen. I think I'm giving, actually, they actually um were had a show ah TV One called Casey and JoJo Come Clean. It's nine-episode series, chronicling the Paris attempt to overcome alcoholism and restart therapy.
00:12:58
Speaker
So I stand corrected. It was not cocaine. It was alcohol. See, that was you out here blaspheming and smirching names.
00:13:09
Speaker
that's on me yeah see i am sorry to casey and jojo soon as we start getting your addiction wrong soon as the podcast start making a little bit of money we gonna catch a lawsuit because your reckless reckless ass hey bruce happened to podcast well my sister said jojo and casey was snorting cocaine they sued us it's all over Did they sue you because they said you they that you just just said they were snoring cocaine or because you kept calling them JoJo and KC?
00:13:40
Speaker
Both. boat to Both. Both. Yeah. It's a suit for two things. Two things. Yeah. No. No, well. well Well, ah the main the main audience doesn't know. How's how's Roscoe? How's the boy doing?
00:13:57
Speaker
He's doing good. Did I say on the show? No, it was it was on the after hours. Just happened. It was on the after hours. Yeah, so I was taking him for a walk at night and he went into some tall grass and was bit by a copperhead snake.
00:14:13
Speaker
He is okay. ah You know, I was saying earlier, I got both my dogs for the free. Free 99. And they are the most expensive free dogs ever.
00:14:25
Speaker
I think anybody has ever had. So anybody who has left their dog overnight at an emergency vet knows what I'm talking about and feels my pain. um So but he is doing well. He's back to his old self.
00:14:38
Speaker
He's actually not in his crate right now. He is chilling in the living room. I'm trying to give him more freedom and give him more, you know. Yeah, just freedom and trust him a little bit more to be out of his crate.
00:14:52
Speaker
ah So yeah, he's a big boy now. So I'm proud of him. Yeah, I'm so happy that Roscoe's doing well. And and them emergency...
00:15:05
Speaker
Vets is just expensive. You know, when I took crypto to the emergency vet and it was the last visit, yeah ah not only was i heartbroken because it was the last visit, but also got hit with this enormous bill. i was like, y'all can't,
00:15:20
Speaker
Y'all can't do both at the same time. You can't do both. I know you need to get your money. and i and i But you do need to mail me that bill. You need to mail it. I am in a state. well and i have If they mail the bill, I'm probably not go pay it.
00:15:34
Speaker
Because they ain't got my social security number. They can't put it on my credit. That's true. so Yeah. it's so And so that's probably the reason why they're like, hey, ah before you leave. Hey, you can't go anywhere. Right. basic Until you pay this bill. like So we want to talk about the arrangements and then we have the bill for everything. And I was like, OK, I'm just agreeing to anything on the arrangements.
00:16:03
Speaker
It's probably like. They're probably so used to how awkward it is to bring that part up at that time that they're just like, you know what? Just gotta say it.
00:16:14
Speaker
Look, there's the bill. I actually, ah this is going to sound so bad because I love awkward situations so much. i just thrive and saying stuff and throwing it out there just waiting for everybody react.
00:16:27
Speaker
I actually wouldn't mind do having that job, being like, you know, I'm really so sorry for your loss. this is ah So I know this is a really, really tough time for you.
00:16:38
Speaker
Oh, yeah. but I got this bill to hear that i need you to take care of. It's the fact that your tones switch up. deaths That's the part that's annoying because you sound very empathetic and then it's like, but got this bill here. It's the tone switch up.
00:16:58
Speaker
You're a jerk. We're going to we don't need you to take care of this before you leave. And they then if they try to, they cry and they're trying to sneak out because they all just cry. Excuse me. ah You still haven't taken care of that bill?
00:17:12
Speaker
You still going to need to pay that bill? There's a bill that's due. Can you mail it to us? No. Because we ain't got no information. We ain't got driver's license. We ain't got you we got your address. But that's it.
00:17:23
Speaker
And yeah long yeah as far as I know, if all you have is a name and an address, I don't think you can send a collection letter. Maybe you can. Yeah, I think you can.
00:17:35
Speaker
Maybe you can. of I think you can send anybody to collection. I don't think you need people social to send them to collection. i just feel like it won't go on your credit report if they don't have your social. I don't think they need it. Honestly, I don't. I think they just need your current address, which you did give them. Well, I had to give them because they had to send me his ashes and all this little stuff that they sent me. So I can't give them a fake address because I i want that stuff.
00:18:03
Speaker
Yeah, so they you put it on it they can put that right on your credit. Well, I think so. My dumb ass would have been like, if they tried to mail it to me, I'd be like, ain't paying this. ain't They can't get me.
00:18:14
Speaker
And then I would have got a lawsuit. Oh, snap. Let me go ahead and hit it. Wait a minute. What y'all mean? We had to go there? Now you're calling the attorney. I want to make an arrangement. that's What do I need to sign?
00:18:27
Speaker
Make this go away. yeah yeah Oh,
Legal Matters and High-Profile Trials
00:18:31
Speaker
man. Now that I know from experience. Well, speaking of attorneys, we're going to get into some legal stuff, not for us, for other people, in the next segment.
00:18:44
Speaker
In our news roundup, we done brought it back. And we're going to get into I don't remember having it. No, we did. Oh, okay. It's one of the rare segments that I actually have brought back.
00:18:56
Speaker
There's some other ones that... um That I said, this is segment. did it one time. Did it one time and I can't even remember what the segments are. na d Well, i'm I mean, somewhere in the the notes. somewhere Somewhere in the notes. But where this is also the 240th episode.
00:19:14
Speaker
So yeah like, a and that's just so the podcast, not the YouTube exclusive for after-hour shows. Like, Yeah, I think we've done. We don't remember the things that we say. yeah No, I think we've done well over 500 different things. So, yeah, no, ah I don't know what it is, but we will do the news roundup and we will get into that next.
00:19:43
Speaker
All right, Jay, news roundup. What are we going to start with? What we go start with? Why is that funny? It was just... You put so much sauce on it.
00:19:55
Speaker
News round up. It was a lot. Hey, look. It's fine. It's fine. Just as I need them people to this take care of that bill, and news round up. That's just just what we had today.
00:20:07
Speaker
yeah Okay. All right. First thing that we're going talk about is this Diddy trial. Now, yeah I just read before hopping on here that the prosecution is dropping some charges.
00:20:18
Speaker
They're dropping some of the kidnapping charges. they um They at the on the eve of the closing arguments, the prosecutors dismissed ah attempted kidnapping, attempted arson and aiding and abetting sex trafficking, narrowing the case to the core allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation for prostitution.
00:20:41
Speaker
Now, my personal opinion is he's going down for that transporting for prostitution. The other ones are going to be a little tough to convict on. um I think he was a nasty McNasty son and is guilty of crimes.
00:20:57
Speaker
But that's not the reason why this is in the news roundup. The reason why I decided that this would be funny to talk about, i don't know funny, funny may not be right word, but interesting to talk about is the fact that the defense rested and didn't call any witnesses.
00:21:13
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. They arrested the case in just like 20 minutes. Like they just were like, Hey, we got these text messages. See, it's consensual and we rest our case.
00:21:26
Speaker
And it was just like, right. so so Cause cause cause it's indefensible. Right. So it's like, what, What? Oh, or were they going to call some character witnesses?
00:21:38
Speaker
That's a thing that my friends said. It was who's going to be on the witness stand and defense of Sean Diddy Combs. Like, they're just gonna ruin their career. Like, Mary J. LeBlige ain't getting up there to testify for ah for P. Diddy.
00:21:54
Speaker
Little C's and Lil' Kim ain't getting up there to testify. So, Faith ain't walking through the door. Not doing it. Not through the door, through the fire, nothing.
00:22:06
Speaker
but the prosecution But the prosecution called 34 witnesses over nearly seven weeks. But Diddy's lawyers believe the evidence of testimony presented were not strong enough to require rebuttal.
00:22:19
Speaker
Throughout the trial, Diddy's defense focused on cross-examination of the prosecution's witnesses to highlight inconsistencies, challenge credibility, and introduce reasonable doubt, which is all you need to do because you've got to find a person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:22:35
Speaker
Right. Defense attorneys use their cross examination to advance their narrative, their narrative, their narrative that Diddy's relationships were consensual and not coerced.
00:22:45
Speaker
This approach is not unusual in high profile cases, especially when the defense believes it has already established reasonable doubt through cross examination. So, yeah, they just decided they were like, look.
00:22:58
Speaker
We don't feel like y'all approved your cases through cross-examination. We feel like we done destroyed all witnesses' credibility. We don't need to call nobody. Yeah, I mean...
00:23:08
Speaker
Okay, I don't think that that's your strategy. It feels to me like not that you we don't feel like we need to call anybody, but more that you didn't have anybody to call.
00:23:21
Speaker
um Because the last thing that they wanted to do was actually put Sean on the stand. And I mean, it's just who were you gonna who were you gonna ask? I mean, who are you gonna ask?
00:23:32
Speaker
Both things can be true though, right? Like it could be that they feel like we can't get no witnesses to defend Diddy, but also their witnesses is a little shaky and we can break them.
00:23:45
Speaker
I haven't been paying attention to the trial. because I know he's a nasty McNasterson. Like I know that already. And I know that he is guilty of something criminal.
00:23:56
Speaker
I know that already too. Yeah, for sure. I mean, we are if if any anything, ah he definitely owed Cassie that money. i That's what for sure. Because we all saw that video. My thing was, and I got painted into a corner one time where I was defending Diddy and I was like, I don't want to be on this side. But yeah I did think the the government,
00:24:16
Speaker
overreached on a lot of these charges. How are you going have a racketeer in charge? A criminal conspiracy with no other co-defendants.
00:24:27
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I don't know enough about law to, I mean, I have to Google what racketeering means. It's racketeering. I know you know because feel like...
00:24:38
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like that's something you see in a lot of mob movies. So I feel like you probably know what racketeering means, but I don't. No, the RICO charges is racketeering.
00:24:49
Speaker
I forgot what the I stands for. Criminal organization. Where's the organization? where yeah if but a One person can't be in the organization. Can't they?
00:25:00
Speaker
No, you got to have ah some co-defendants. Do you? Yeah. yeah Is it is it ah racketeer influence and corrupt organization?
00:25:12
Speaker
well Well, I was close. Okay. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen. Okay. So racketeering is a includes a broad set of crimes like fraud, drug trafficking, muddy laundering, bribery, sex trafficking, and murder.
00:25:27
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, so my well, yeah. Look, He should go to jail. I just, I don't know for what, I don't know the extremes, but I just thought that was interesting that the defense was just like, yeah, we're just going to ahead and rest.
00:25:42
Speaker
ah Okay. All right. I don't, I don't know what that means, ah but you know, they also, um the defense had already filed for a directed verdict, um,
00:25:55
Speaker
citing insufficient evidence the judge has reserved ruling on it so i don't know what's going to happen with that but closing arguments are next and then the jury deliberates and they will decide you know on these reduced set of charges west what's what's the deal yeah and i don't know i don't know i think that i don't know what's gonna happen i don't know what's gonna happen me neither but um But he's definitely not King of New York anymore type of thing.
00:26:30
Speaker
He's definitely not that. Well, he was calling himself. No, that was Biggie. You sure? Yep. Biggie called himself the King of New York. He used to call himself the Black Frank White from King of New York.
00:26:42
Speaker
I feel like did he call himself after Bigg was killed. No, he never called, I'm positive, he never called himself the King of New York. That was always Biggie. Oh, okay. Well, at any rate. Bigg is the only one that's called himself the King of New York besides Frank White.
00:26:59
Speaker
Frank White is from the movie play King of New York. I know. I know that. Lawrence Kirschberg is also in that movie. yes ah Yes. Who else is out there? Wesley Snipes is also in that movie.
00:27:12
Speaker
um and the the the white guy that played in NYPD Blue that was always like mad all the time with the red hair. That was every last one of them.
00:27:24
Speaker
He tried to do, he tried to spin off NYPD Blue and do movies. You know what? Detour. We not focused on that. Let's, let's, ADHD. Okay, so he never called himself that, but he has been referred to as that in media and popular culture. And then there was a article in The Root that suggested his reign as king of New York. has day I knew I saw that somewhere. All right, but...
00:27:51
Speaker
We weren't calling him the king the UAE. No, nobody. I don't know. We weren't doing it. But I knew I had seen it somewhere. But yeah. So as far as like the RICO charges, the prosecutors are alleging that Diddy ran an enterprise that repeatedly engaged in crimes like sex trafficking and drug distribution. So that's how they got that.
00:28:15
Speaker
Is it distribution if you give it away?
00:28:19
Speaker
He's distributing it, aren't you? But I mean, typically when they say- They didn't say drug selling. They said distribution. Typically when they they don't ever, a charge is never drug selling. They say it's drug distribution.
00:28:33
Speaker
So that's why I don't think he was selling it. I think he was giving it away. you will He might have been giving it away, but the fact of the matter is it's still illegal. um Yes. Cocaine mixed with ecstasy. You cannot just curb you to legal drugs. Yeah. Cocaine mixed with ecstasy is illegal.
00:28:49
Speaker
Yes. And also never had either one. so That seems like a horrible combination, but yeah I guess it's a party drug. Anyway, that's enough of Diddy. Moving on to the next thing in the news roundup.
Celebrity Transformations and Public Perception
00:29:03
Speaker
Did Moneybagg Yo get work done? Okay. So some people might not know who Moneybagg Yo is. Moneybagg Yo is one of my favorite rappers. Do not ask me what's the name of his albums or anything like that. Obviously, i kept saying JoJo and KC for one of my favorite groups. right I'm going to mix it all up.
00:29:21
Speaker
But trust me, yeah he's one of my favorite rappers. he was She used to be ah little portly. And they just did the BET awards. And he's looking quite lean and felt, right?
00:29:32
Speaker
hu And he's being accused of having some work done to his face. Because everybody is like, well, how did his cheekbones come up this way? And he got some stuff pulled back. He got some work done on his face. That's what they're trying to claim.
00:29:47
Speaker
Moneybagg, yo.
00:29:50
Speaker
Did not do that, and I'mma tell you why. I know that was a dramatic pause, but I'mma tell you why. It was very dramatic. I know. It's dramatic because... People don't understand what getting in shape does to not only your body, but also your face.
00:30:07
Speaker
So he has often showcased his transform transformation on his IG page from his workout videos, his shirtless photos, everything. In March of 2025, he posted a series of images and videos highlighting his tone, physique, and his gym routines. He's been on that.
00:30:23
Speaker
He's also talked about his diet, including his protein-heavy meals, a supplement like black seed oil on sea moss. He's openly credited his transformation to quitting lean. Lean is a codeine-based drink.
00:30:35
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? Sipping on that scissor, but yeah and adapting a healthier lifestyle, and committing to regular exercise. But people still want to claim that he got some work done. Now, this is what I will say.
00:30:49
Speaker
yeah My weight fluctuates. I can go... 20 pounds up or down, 30 pounds up or down at any point in a given year, depending on what I'm trying to do.
00:31:01
Speaker
You will see changes in my face. When I'm lean, you will see my face smaller. You will see my cheeks smaller. You will see my jaw bone more defined. When I'm bulking, you will see the cheeks fuller, which will lose the jaw ah jaw line.
00:31:16
Speaker
And now my forehead will be a little bit puffier. There's a change in your face. You lose weight. yeah You get slimmer. You've seen it in your own face. Yeah, guys, look at our first episode and then look at this one. Right.
00:31:29
Speaker
And it's not. You see the difference. right It's not a pulling something back or doing something back. As you lift weights, lose weight, things get tightened. That's just what happens.
00:31:42
Speaker
So I'm looking at the first of all, y'all cut it out. OK, y'all act like. Y'all act like Moneybag Yo was out here for 500 pounds. though He was you was slightly Joey. no like it wasn't No, I'm looking at it. He had a little stomach. Nothing's defined.
00:32:02
Speaker
But this man was never fat. Like, he just never was fat. He was chubby. And then i' seeing the I'm seeing the transformation. it It looked like he lost about 30, 40 pounds. Like, it that's all it is. Like, it just looks like he lost weight. he's He's clearly, like, documenting his journey on Instagram. You could just go on his Instagram and see the food he's eating. He's...
00:32:27
Speaker
just little steak and rice and avocado slices and stuff. Like, I saw it. Like, he's clearly documented it. Like, hey, y'all act like he was portly and then the next week he's got a six-pack.
00:32:40
Speaker
Like, no, this has been several but months. Like, it's been months, like, that this man is trying to change his life. Like, can you let, can people grow?
00:32:53
Speaker
But see, here's the thing, though. No, because we just said it earlier. we don't want our musicians to grow and change. We don't we want people to grow change. We don't want him rapping different. Like, I don't want all of a sudden for him to be doing Christian rap.
00:33:09
Speaker
Like, then you know, because he's getting his life together and stuff. And he's like, I'm going rap for the Lord. The Lord didn't ask for that. Like, for all of y'all out there, Lord didn't ask for it. worship how you worship, but the Lord didn't ask for some of that stuff y'all doing out there.
00:33:24
Speaker
But...
00:33:27
Speaker
But, you know, we don't want him to switch up which up on us. But him losing weight and getting healthier, that's not him switching up on us. I'm going to give you a prime example how fans will turn.
00:33:40
Speaker
Big Luther and Little Luther. And we loved Luther just the same. When that curl was right and when the curl wasn't quite right. We still know because Luther was the man, the medium man. He had a very small role, but he was very cool. And that was skinny Luther. It was skinny Luther. I'm talking about his singing. Everybody's like, oh, like Big Luther. His voice is still the same. Everybody says, like Big Luther. His voice is angelic.
00:34:06
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, yes. But everybody says, I like Big Luther better than Little Luther. They they like Moneybagg, yo, as regular and poorly. You know why? Because to them, he's like, oh, he's the everyman. Maybe one day I can do that.
00:34:18
Speaker
Now it's like, well, wait a minute, going to multimillion dollar rapper and be fit and lean? Like, that's not fair. Not for me, ladies and gentlemen. I'm happy because I do this for a living.
00:34:29
Speaker
I like to see people's transformations. But because I do this for a living, I see stuff like this all the time. People are with you. You thought when I when i went from 285 to 211 pounds, which drastic. I thought she was on that stuff. Which was drastic, but I had a goal that I wanted to accomplish.
00:34:45
Speaker
And when you hadn't seen me at all that time and I had lost well over 50 pounds and still wearing the same clothes, you was like, are you okay? Are you sick? Are you doing okay? People that hadn't seen me in a while were like, what's going on? it wasn't It wasn't until I was like, well, no, let me take off my shirt and let you see.
00:35:05
Speaker
Oh, yeah okay. You not sick. Because obviously yeah you got muscles everywhere. I thought you were sick. Right. No, I didn't think you were sick. I thought you was on that stuff. And I was like, not my brother.
00:35:17
Speaker
Not my brother. No, wasn't on that stuff. Okay. But yeah, people out there, money bag, yo. Maybe he did get a little bit of work done, but the work that you see. I don't think he did. Well, you never know if somebody got a tuck or something like that.
00:35:30
Speaker
I'm looking at his face. His face looks the same. It looks slimmer because he's lost weight, but he looks the same. I don't see any... It looks like he's just been working out and eating right.
00:35:42
Speaker
And the thing is, you know, this is a man... This is a man that got... He got four kids. He's trying to be around for his kids and be around, you know, and enjoy his fame and enjoy his money.
00:35:54
Speaker
Like, with his health. You know, health is wealth. Like, let... Damn, like, let this man... Let him live. Let him eat some chicken breasts and brown rice in peace.
00:36:09
Speaker
And you know what? Only the people that have never done it Got to complain. You know what? If you get off your ass yeah and went to the gym and ate right, you would see dramatic changes in not only your body, but your face. Your face changes.
00:36:28
Speaker
Your face changes. It's just what happens when you replace fat with lean muscle. No, your face doesn't change. It's revealed. Yes.
00:36:38
Speaker
Yes. exact That's a good way to put it. This was my face the whole time. Yeah, it was. It was hidden under stuff. Okay.
00:36:49
Speaker
No, this was always my face. That was always Moneybaggio's face. It was just padded. Also, you know what, ladies and gentlemen? When you stop using drugs, you see people change.
00:37:02
Speaker
Yeah. strip I just start to look clearer. they They look better. They got a little glow about them. Yeah, it's just, you know what, actually? asked was When we were talking about Casey and JoJo, pulled up a picture of him recently. He looks great. He's been sober. and Which one? He great.

Tyler Perry Allegations and Industry Power Dynamics
00:38:34
Speaker
All right. For those people out there that don't know about what's going on Tyler Perry, Tyler Perry is facing the $260 million dollars lawsuit filed by actor Derek Dixon, who appeared in Tyler Perry's BET drama series, The Oval.
00:38:47
Speaker
The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in June 2025 accuses Perry of sexual harassment. sexual assault, battery, workplace retaliation, and creating a coerced sexual exploitive environment over several years of professional interaction.
00:39:06
Speaker
So, so ah this is not funny, ladies and gentlemen. It's not. It's not. I find it funny because there has been many of accusations through the years that Tyler Perry is gay.
00:39:20
Speaker
doug cook has but Somebody said this and it's so true. The closet is glass.
00:39:27
Speaker
The closet is glass. We can see you in there. Just come out. Okay, so why I believe... Allegedly. Why I believe... Yeah, thank you.
00:39:39
Speaker
Why I believe that he definitely had a relationship with this gentleman is because... No, not allegedly. Being gay is not a crime. No, i said I said allegedly had a relationship with this gentleman.
00:39:53
Speaker
Oh, that's not why I had said allegedly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so because of the initial contact. So Dixon first met Perry in 2019 while working as an event staff at Tyler Perry's studio event in Atlanta.
00:40:07
Speaker
Perry offered Dixon audition. So do you know what that means, right? So he was a waiter. He was a waiter or a bartender. Or a bartender at an event. a regular busboy.
00:40:18
Speaker
at an event and is like, hey, I can make you a star. Yes, yet literally. And then offered small roles and he he said he offered in ah audition that would lead to small roles and productions and then a promising a career advancement. The lawsuit alleges Perry began sending Dixon sexually suggestive text messages, some of which are included as screenshots in the legal filing.
00:40:43
Speaker
and I done read a few of them and oh my God. Messages reportedly included explicit propositions and remarks such as, what is it going to take for you to have guiltless sex?
00:40:56
Speaker
I don't mean to laugh, but whoo, he was trying to hide this for so long. And and that to me, you know, i talk about this so often, being authentically yourself and me watching that Luther Vandross documentary and him obviously, allegedly, and obviously, allegedly,
00:41:17
Speaker
being gay and being closeted for all those years. And ah that is whether it's been diagnosed or that, that is what led to his eating disorder and his weight ballooning because he's yeah not being his true self. And who doesn't want to be their true self?
00:41:34
Speaker
Tyler Perry, if you gay, Just be gay. It's okay right now. You already rich and you live in Atlanta. Right. It's okay. Like, people are not... It is still... Well, it's still, you know, they're still out here trying to do legislation. Well, that the issue is his his initial core audience is Christian.
00:41:54
Speaker
Yeah, that's what it is. But but so listen. Listen to my Black Baptist out here. to That is Tyler Perry's Initial audience.
00:42:08
Speaker
We all knew. Somebody in that choir. Or the choir director. That was gay. We all knew it. Yeah. And we welcomed it anyway. As long as it wasn't explicitly said.
00:42:23
Speaker
Now. That's not enough. Now. Come on out. Let us know. So that you can be authentically yourself. Ain't no shame in it. Ain't no shame.
00:42:34
Speaker
Don't be shameful in who you truly are. Right. But that's to the general public, but to Tyler specifically.
00:42:48
Speaker
Jay, you got to say. You are not, I got to, it's going to take, I'm trying to figure out a way to say this tactfully. Okay.
00:42:58
Speaker
We not talking about you. We not talking about you. You have used your power and influence. in in horrible ways. and and and And I'm sorry, but I 100% believe that you probably did create ah very hostile and abusive work environment. That's just my opinion based on um the fact that this is not the first time people have said this. so And as saw the text messages too.
00:43:32
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, y'all Google the text messages. I'm not going to read them on here. Yeah. um Bruh. You can stay in that closet for all we can, but just stay in it, though.
00:43:45
Speaker
Don't come out. All right. So there's more. There's a physical assault. The complainant details several incidents where Perry allegedly sexually assaulted him. One specific incident cited is when Perry, after inviting Dixon to his home in Georgia, allegedly climbed into bed with him and groped him in a sexual manner.
00:44:04
Speaker
Dixon claims he rebuffed Perry's advances and attempted to set boundaries, but the harassment continued. Dixon alleges that after rejecting Perry's advances, He faced professional retaliation.
00:44:16
Speaker
The lawsuit claims Perry threatened his character's fate on the Oval and used influence to silence Dixon, including offering a raise and promising to produce a pilot Dixon had written, which the lawsuit claims was never intended to be made.
00:44:33
Speaker
Yeah, obviously. My thing is this. It's like you are Tyler Perry. a You are rich. You're in Atlanta. It's full. ah at the the The girls are out here. It's full. and like why do you Why are you harassing the hell out of this young man?
00:44:56
Speaker
This, if anything, Atlanta is the land of opportunity. you Why are you harassing this young man?
00:45:06
Speaker
mean, and it's not even cute. Like, you look, y'all, I read the text messages. Google it. its It's getting thirsty. It's real thirsty for a person who's a billionaire.
00:45:20
Speaker
ah big I don't know if he is or not. I think Tyler Perry is a billionaire. And like, for real, for real, like if he really wanted that bad, he could just roll a check for a million. I'm sure. Yeah, his net worth is 1.4 billion. Yeah, I mean, he could just roll a check. if If Perry is gay, I mean, if Dixon is gay, yeah, I mean, a million dollars it if...
00:45:42
Speaker
What's the equivalent of Tyler Perry on the female side? but but Not Oprah. Oprah is bigger than that. Yeah. Who would be somebody who is young, professional?
00:45:53
Speaker
I guess there isn't anybody like that. But let's say Rihanna was 65. sixty five Right. OK, let's say Rihanna was 65. And she walked up to me. Hey, Bruce, do you want to have a sexual relationship? I'm going to cut you a check for $1 million. Yes!
00:46:08
Speaker
yes That seems fine to me.
00:46:14
Speaker
That is your prerogative. It's prerogative to say no to that. don and No, no, no. Which he clearly did because like even, yeah because, a well, because. Because this happened for four years. It was going on for four years from 2020 to 2024. But he never, but don't think ever got with but he never but i don't think he ever got with her i don't think I think he was able to hold them off.
00:46:39
Speaker
So he was using them? For four years. No, he was just trying to do his little... He didn't want to go back to waiting tables at events. I'm not victim blaming here.
00:46:51
Speaker
I'm just saying.
00:46:54
Speaker
with it And also, when when you're up against a person who is in a position of power... You will be surprised how little you can do. Yeah, this is true.
00:47:08
Speaker
Well, we know me. like You'll just fight. And that's okay. But not everybody can do that. I mean, I get it. But it should be the default.
00:47:20
Speaker
but somebody Somebody come at you wrong, just smack him in the mouth, whether you can beat him or not. Mike Tyson can walk him to me right now. Especially after I saw his last fight. Ladies and gentlemen, that is that is horrible advice. Hold on. will put yourself in danger. Mike Tyson can walk up to me right now, especially after the way I saw him in his last fight. i think I'll be okay.
00:47:41
Speaker
And he can say something slick. No, I mean in general. don't If you can get away from a situation, don't do that. Don't listen to him. Well, we got to we got to give Tyler Perry's response to this. Tyler Perry has categorically denied the allegations calling the lawsuit a scam and fabricated.
00:47:59
Speaker
ah ah Tyler Perry's attorney said this individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than to set up a scam. But Tyler would not be shaken down. And we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail and unless the text messages aren't real.
00:48:15
Speaker
Yeah, they are. Yeah, they are. I mean... which Get a burner phone. Get a burner phone. He would have to, like, send the full text, and get the metadata. They can pull the but the ah phone records and get the actual text. Like, it's not... you you dont He don't have to use these screenshots. Like, he could get the official stuff straight from his cell provider. Like, so...
00:48:41
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think he photoshopped those text messages. And then, you know, listen, I was just, what I was event staff minding my business and you decided for for nefarious purposes to proposition me.
00:49:00
Speaker
And you can't like dangle the carrot in front of somebody and think that they won't be like, wow, this is a chance of a lifetime. And then you turn around and you caught up in something you don't want to be in.
00:49:13
Speaker
And how many times we seen this over and over and over again? We see this with R Kelly's victims. We see this with what Sean Combs where they promise people with stars in their eyes the world.
00:49:26
Speaker
And you don't know that behind the scenes is isn't that it's too good to be true. Yeah. So, yeah, what's the we'll see. We'll see what comes of this. But, you know me, my default is to believe the victim. Yeah, okay. thought you was going to say that you your default is that you really hate Tyler Perry.
00:49:49
Speaker
ah but you I do. but That too. So, both things. Both things are true. Both are true. Okay. I don't really hate Tyler Perry, but I think he definitely did this. Yeah. That's just my personal opinion.
00:50:01
Speaker
I'm not accusing him. That's our unsolicited perspective. That's our unsolicited perspective. I'm not accusing him. I think in my personal opinion, the evidence is pretty damning. and But in this country, you're innocent until proven guilty legally, but in the court of public opinion, you kiss my ass.
Podcast Length and Editing Challenges
00:50:30
Speaker
Okay, Jay, this show is going kind of long, but you know what? Since we're not giving anybody... um Well, we are. You guys can't get original content on our YouTube page. But since you're not getting an original podcast for two weeks, yeah I guess we could go a little long.

Speaker
Oh, night owl is you out. Owls are owls are o we're right all night. but But no, but you could be in and just be up late. That's also a night owl.
00:52:57
Speaker
I feel, yeah, that's true. But I don't know. The implication to me is like you out, you outside. Well, I'm actually both. I'm a night owl because I don't ever take my ass to bed at night.
00:53:09
Speaker
But I'm an early bird because I can't ever sleep through the night. So are you doing revenge bedtime? So like you spend most of your day on tasks that like, I guess, maybe they probably probably bring you joy, but it's work, right? We spend most of our day working.
00:53:31
Speaker
And so there's this thing called revenge bedtime where you you end up staying up really late to get some of that personal time back that you've lost during the day. So is that what you would? Yeah, I do that too. That's absolutely what is. I'm going to be in the bed tonight playing video games.
00:53:47
Speaker
You know why? I've literally been working all day. Yeah. Literally, I've been up. Well, I was up at five o'clock this morning for separate reasons that if you pay attention to the behind the scenes, I might get into that a little bit because I'm going to throw somebody out of the bus. But yeah, I've been working all day and I need to. I'm not going to edit this show tonight. I'm not going start to edit the show tonight. going to it tomorrow.
00:54:09
Speaker
And I'm going to eat me a bag of chips and then I'm going to take my shower, get in bed and play some video games. Going make some trades on my um my and NBA franchise, the Baltimore Blackbirds.
00:54:20
Speaker
yeah it's see That's been created. But I'm also gotta to be up early tomorrow morning to work and I'm gonna be cussing at myself like why didn't I take my butt to bed but i need I didn't know that's what it was but revenge time. Yeah, I do a lot of revenge time.
00:54:36
Speaker
The weekend is a lot of revenge time too. People are like, Bruce, what you wanna do this weekend? Not a damn thing. I'm gonna sit on the couch and catch up on all the stuff that I wanted to do which was nothing.
00:54:48
Speaker
No. Is cereal... A soup.
00:54:53
Speaker
So. No.
00:54:59
Speaker
No. But why? Because the milk is not the base of the cereal. Like a soup has the liquid base, right? a broth or a stock or something.
00:55:13
Speaker
And then you cook you cook ingredients in them. You know, not all soups are cooked because you got like gazpacho. But like
00:55:24
Speaker
for cereal, you're adding milk to it. The milk in the... It's not one thing, though. and Let me ask a question. Because you can eat cereal without milk. Did you eat cereal without milk when you was a little when you woke up in the morning? yes Yes. Yes. I put my hand right in that box.
00:55:43
Speaker
Well, okay. That everyone ate from. i put my hand right in that box. Didn't wash your hands from nothing. Not at all. Probably picking boogers. Picking boogers. That was exactly what I was about to say. I was probably digging in my ear something, reach right in that box, and grab a handful of Fruity-Os, and I ate it.
00:56:06
Speaker
And I would eat them. Yes. Why are you throwing our family under the bus saying Fruity-Os? Because, ladies and gentlemen, we ate the off-brand cereal, the only on-brand cereal that we got.
00:56:17
Speaker
Was Honey Night Cheerios. Yep. And that was our ah that was my snack when I was little. Like, i would just have a little bag of Cheerios. I actually do remember yeah were little Jay with a plastic bag and some Cheerios, a snotty nose, just eating some Cheerios. I do remember Eating some Cheerios, yes. i eat my Cheerios. i eat I'll eat some cereal dry.
00:56:42
Speaker
I've been doing it literally my entire life. I'm not going to say... that you're the only one, I'm going to that you're the minority in this, that the majority of people eat cereal with milk.
00:56:53
Speaker
So that would mean that it's in part of the entire process, which would make it soup. I don't think cereal is soup.
00:57:04
Speaker
I don't. You eat everything in a soup without the broth. It doesn't become soup until you add the broth. Cereal doesn't become cereal until you add it.
00:57:15
Speaker
That's the difference. You don't really... You cook it in the broth. You're not cooking cereal in the milk. You don't always cook soups.
00:57:27
Speaker
I think just because it's in a bowl with a spoon, you can't just say...
00:57:33
Speaker
Not my cereal. I'm lactose intolerant, so I got a little bit of milk just to get the cereal now you know a little soft. No, I usually drown it. I usually drown by cereal milk because I would finish the cereal and still have a bowl of milk for me, another bowl of cereal. And be true. Ain't nothing better than that excess milk and then add cereal to the excess milk because it got the little sugar from the last bit of cereal.
00:58:02
Speaker
And then you add some more cereal to it. You mash it down so it get nice and soggy. Yeah. Okay. There's an article in Virginia Law Weekly.
00:58:12
Speaker
Now, it I don't know... the I don't know nothing about this. ah Okay. It is published by the students of the of University of Virginia a School of Law. Okay. It's not some right-wing newspaper. Okay. I mean, it still might be, but I don't know. Yeah, it still might be. But anyway...
00:58:33
Speaker
It's called The Debate Ends Here, Why Cereal Is Not a Soup. And their ultimate like conclusion is cereal pieces are not cooked or otherwise processed with milk to create one cohesive, namely soup, one cohesive whole.
00:58:54
Speaker
it The milk is in a cereal, but it's like they're not...
00:59:00
Speaker
to get, it it's not a cohesive whole. Like you can, you don't need soup. All right. Anything, anything that anybody from UVA come out with, I'm naturally against because they're our rival and you should be too.
00:59:17
Speaker
I am for anything that confirms my opinion about anything. All right, let's move on to the next one. Is it better to be rich or famous?
00:59:29
Speaker
Rich. Completely agree. I don't need to be famous. I don't want to be known. Don't care. In fact, I don't want any of you to know me. But I'm on a podcast. You're right. Completely different. No sense. Makes no sense. lazy But I would love to be rich and incognito. yeah Yeah. But what my sister's saying is absolutely true. Even though we do this podcast...
00:59:52
Speaker
yeah We don't want to be known. we have always been people that are anti-social. Well, not only just anti-social, we like to shrink to the background. yeah I walk around in what I call my Clark Kent walk.
01:00:06
Speaker
um kind of slushed forward. I try to make myself smaller. I try to make myself fit into the crowd. The only time I go to my Superman pose is when I'm trying to be intimidating or peacocking.
01:00:18
Speaker
That is it. yeah It is to either get women or... make people scared. That's it. Otherwise, i am Clark Kent all the time. So yes, give me the money.
01:00:30
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I just, I would love to, are you kidding? Cause I don't want to be famous and broke. Cause what if I'm famous for being broke?
01:00:41
Speaker
You know what Like, what am I famous for? Jane, you never got no money. That's what she famous for. And now everybody's talking about me on Twitter because I'm all because i'm broke. Like, I don't want to be famous for that.
01:00:54
Speaker
oh Here come Jane. You know she ain't got no money. yeah Right. Everybody knows, like, you know she chose fame over riches. Dumbass.
01:01:05
Speaker
You know, no. All right. What about this? Is it better to live in the city? Or the country.
01:01:13
Speaker
oh Right. Having lived in both, there are advantages to both. Like the city is convenient, but it's noisy and it stinks.
01:01:24
Speaker
It usually smells like urine. Unless it's Boston. Unless it's Boston. I've never been, so i don't know. Boston is really clean city. It's the cleanest city that I've ever been to. Well, it's because it's a college town, right?
01:01:37
Speaker
I mean, every city is a college town. New York City is a college town. Yeah. DC is a college town. New York goes by its own rules. Yeah, New York is... some But even New York doesn't smell like pee anymore.
01:01:49
Speaker
Well, certain parts. It kind of does. The subway always smells like pee. But then the country is like, you have the quiet and the peace, but it it's not convenient. You got to drive 30 minutes to get to the grocery store. like nobody I don't want to do that.
01:02:03
Speaker
Whereas in the city, I could go downstairs and probably on the corner... There's a corner store. I can get what I need. So it's this advantages to but I don't have no peace in the city.
01:02:15
Speaker
So I like the city better than the country, o ah mainly because in the city. You'll have mice and rats and I don't yeah want to be confronted with that, but I can deal with that a lot better than in the country where you have whatever the hell.
01:02:33
Speaker
Right? You have copperheads or rattlesnakes just going around. Like, I i don't want... yeah You got crazy spiders. You don't see that in the city. Right? Like, awesome. I'm in the city. That's what's killing me.
01:02:44
Speaker
But here's another thing, though. What about when the country becomes a city? So we have so many like we're from the we're from the suburbs of D.C., right?
01:02:55
Speaker
We call it the DMV. D.C. people hate that. They don't ever say people from D.C. don't ever say it from the DMV. They say they're from D.C. People yeah that say they're from the DMV. are from the suburbs of D.C. Yes. But D.C. is very small, so everything is almost a suburb. But the suburbs that we're from became cities.
01:03:16
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So they're not country anymore. They were at one time country. They were. Yeah. But they're not country anymore. Yeah. I remember our grandfather telling me when I moved to Arlington,
01:03:28
Speaker
I remember driving out here on my way to work. I used to work all the way out here. That's where one of the buildings were. I was like, it was? He's like, yep, this used to be all farmland. And it was nothing but high rises everywhere.
01:03:41
Speaker
Pentagon was right there. Pentagon City Mall, which is the main mall, was right there. the airport is right like right there. like Just so it was no longer country. It was city. Yeah. i That's what I like.
01:03:53
Speaker
I like when country becomes city because there are still parts of that area where you can get away and it can be quiet, but you're not too far from where can be loud. That's true. Yeah.
01:04:06
Speaker
I'd like to live just out but where I live right now. if I live just outside. I'm right there. I'm right on the line. Right there. still in a nice, quiet neighborhood, but I can get to anything in 10 minutes.
01:04:21
Speaker
Yeah. So that's what I i like where I'm at. But if I had to choose, I'm choosing the city life. I'm to choose the city. Yeah, because I got got to be where the action is. I don't want to be involved in none of the action.
01:04:33
Speaker
No, but i want to see it. i want to see it. I want to see it. All right Last one. Okay. Cats versus dog. Who makes the better pet? Well, you already know what I'm going to say. But see, here's a thing.
01:04:46
Speaker
And this is what, ladies and gentlemen, you might not know. We grew up with both. We always had cats. We always had dogs. We've had so many pets through the years.
01:04:58
Speaker
So many pets. A little bit ah but everything, to be honest. Hamsters, gerbils, rabbits. that's the Guinea pigs. No, we had guinea guinea pig. No, the guinea pig is not a hamster. Gerbil. And it's bigger than a gerbil. No, my guinea pigs were big.
01:05:16
Speaker
and ah Somebody got us lizards that one time. When did y'all have a lizard? um when we were living it When we were living in Columbia. I do not remember that.
01:05:27
Speaker
Yeah, one ah one of our aunt's friends bought us two lizards and we killed them immediately. but okay We did not keep them warm enough and they died immediately. But fish, all we've had, we've it's run the gambit. It wasn't our pet, but we lived with a ferret.
01:05:44
Speaker
Oh, and the birds. We forgot the birds. yep, birds. yeah So we lived with everything. Yeah. Cats and dogs are different, though. You get love from dogs.
01:05:57
Speaker
Yes. You can get love from cats, too. But you get love from dogs. Cats let you love them. I like...
01:06:09
Speaker
that I like the affection that I get from my dogs. I like cats, but I feel like cats are for people who only kind of want a pet. Like, like from time to time you want a pet, but then other times you're like, okay, go off and do your own thing and live your own life, cat.
01:06:27
Speaker
And I'll see you when I see you. You know, like that's how it feels to me. I don't know. I'm not I'm not a I'm not really a cat person because I'm allergic to them. But so am i I feel like the the just the loyalty and the affection. And when I come in the house every single day, they're both at the door jumping around waiting for me.
01:06:51
Speaker
they know my car coming in the driveway. So like that, that's nice. yeah You know, if I came home to some cat, I don't know where the hell they are. True. I have a counterpoint before I give you what mine is. I got a counterpoint.
01:07:06
Speaker
Okay. Dogs are so much more work. Dogs are, dogs are toddlers. Yeah. That never grow up. Never.
01:07:17
Speaker
Never. They are so much a part of your life. Yeah. You can't do anything without planning around your dogs. Yeah.
01:07:27
Speaker
This is the reason I, yeah. Cats. I can't come home for New Year, for Fourth of July. Right. Cats. Because I got dogs. Cats. Just give a little bit.
01:07:39
Speaker
If you give an automatic feeder and an automatic... I was just about to say, if you give them that food dispenser and the water dispenser, you literally can clean that box out, the self-cleaning litter box. Yep.
01:07:52
Speaker
You good. You good. You can be gone for a while, especially if you got two cats because they can entertain themselves. Right? Yep. oh So that's the only thing. like if What's a better pet? You can't leave a dog alone. You can't.
01:08:07
Speaker
What's a better pet? It depends on how much of a parent you want to be. Yeah. So it's like you said. I don't mind that my life revolves around my dogs, though.
01:08:19
Speaker
Like, I don't mind that. i have I haven't had a problem with it so far. It's been five years that I've had Roni. Yeah. Okay. So you got Roni when you were 35. Mm-hmm.
01:08:34
Speaker
Okay. I got crypto when I was 30. thirty And I split with my wife when I was 32. no So when I'm in the prime of my dating life, well, I don't know if there was a prime my dating, but I acted like it.
01:08:50
Speaker
oh
01:08:54
Speaker
It became a hassle. yeah To be able to go out and do things because I can't leave him. I eventually just, I was like, look, I got to hire a dog walker or else like I'm not going to be able to do anything. I can't take no trips or do anything like that because I had him.
01:09:09
Speaker
Don't get me wrong. If I didn't want him anymore, I would have gave him up. I love him. I was never going to get him up. ah It's just, it's a toddler that never grows up that you have to take care of.
01:09:21
Speaker
Okay, yeah, if I'm being real transparent, there are some mornings where I just want to sleep in. And you can't. And I literally cannot. Because my child is up. One of my kids is up. And they got to go.
01:09:36
Speaker
They have a schedule that you have to stick to. Because yeah when you don't, there is a problem. There'll be a accident in the house or they will get into something because they're not getting attention.
01:09:47
Speaker
You are on a schedule. they have It's every day. Every day. And you think you train them. No, no, no, no, no. no no They've trained you. I say all that to say this. There is no love that you get from anything.
01:10:02
Speaker
that compares to a love from a dog. It is completely uncondi... I know, i'm talking about the dog's love. It's completely unconditional. When they trust you, when they love you, they love you to the end of time.
01:10:17
Speaker
I mean, they are sitting outside my door right now. I know, I hear them. And and that because they know I'm in here. And they want to be wherever I'm at.
01:10:30
Speaker
All the time. All the time. They just want to be in my face all the time. They love me. I love because, the you know, our our mother's here visiting. And every time I come in, they're going nuts.
01:10:45
Speaker
ah and it And she'll say, they were quiet all day. And then you get home and now they're riled up. I was like, oh yeah, Yeah. And they're happy to see me. Yeah.
01:10:55
Speaker
There's a difference. that and i And nothing compares to that. Even the days where I'm just like, I wish I wasn't a dog mom right now. I wish could get some sleep. But like, just as soon as I see them, I'm like, oh, those are my kids, man. Those my kids.
01:11:10
Speaker
Yeah. So i said all that to say this. Dogs. Dogs. I love cats though. I love cats, but I've only ever had cats when I live with somebody else.
01:11:24
Speaker
I've never had a cat by myself. Yeah. Yeah. And would never have, I would never have a cat by myself. No. But if I lived with somebody and it was like, you want to get a cat?
01:11:35
Speaker
Yeah, let's get a cat. Yeah. Which is, I don't know what that says. There might be, I don't know. Yeah. i might yeah I've never gotten my own cat. Yeah. I don't think I would get a cat.
01:11:47
Speaker
oh yeah Well, I'm allergic to them. I wouldn't get a cat. Well, I'm allergic to dogs as well. And that didn't stop me. Well, I'm allergic to everything. That's the reason why I take Benadryl every day.
01:11:58
Speaker
But it's the only way I can live. But on that note, Jaya, do you want to leave people with? Cereal's not soup. I don't care, guys. I don't care. howw will You fight me.
01:12:09
Speaker
Fight me. I don't care. It's not. The milk, the cereal is separate. It's not one thing. Why? Because I eat my cereal dry. Like a G. Get into it.
01:12:25
Speaker
Don't get into no dry cereal. Put some milk in that cereal and enjoy the cereal the way it's supposed to be. Cereal is supposed to have milk. Or be in a Rice Krispie treat. Those are the only two options for cereal.
01:12:38
Speaker
You could put cereal on a sundae. you ah Some, some. Some Fruity Pebbles. You put cereal on a donut. Some. so So, yeah, you're right. Fruity O's are versatile.
01:12:51
Speaker
If you don't stop talking about some Fruity O's, we done moved past that We are past the great value cereal. But on that note, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for listening.
