Best of Brown bag. Woo! That's the sound of the police. The petty police. You're petty. It's just petty. I'm being petty. Petty, petty girl.

Pretty and a pettiest. All right, this is a message to young thugs girl and songstress extraordinaire, Mariah the scientist. Don't fall for the rage bait. Don't fall for the rage bait. Yes, because people are being petty online resurfacing a clip from, what would you call Selena Powell? Like, what would her? label be? Because I'm like, is she an influencer? No. Is she an Instagram? Professional groupie. Probably, yeah, maybe that might be it. And she would probably say yes. Be okay with it. Yeah.

Yeah. She would make the rounds previously always wanting like if an artist went to where she was from, she would try to hook up with them. And I think that's one of the first like little rumblings about her. Like, oh, okay, just someone trying to get backstage, get with an artist. But then she started getting what artist. Most notably recently, she got what offset. And, and, um, okay, just someone. And, laid out all the tea about how Opset has drama with Cardi, drama about Cardi and her baby daddy, Stefan Diggs, arguing all of that, that Opset has a gambling problem, owes her money, all of that. One would think, okay, now that we know how she is,

but we've been knowing how she is, you leave her alone. But, man, a clip is resurfacing of her talking about smashing young thug. And I just want Young Thug's current girlfriend, who's already been through the ringer with him because there was leaked phone calls of him in jail saying, I slept with this girl and I told Mariah was way before I got locked up, but it was actually the day before I got locked up. Like she's already been through it.

Yeah. And now this, check it out. And said, Subuaka wants to bring Mariah this artist into it. I took down Young Thug 2 and I still listened to burning blue. I don't give a f***. Y'all are artists. Who cares? What is an artist's?

Artists. Y'all are artists. Yeah, multiple artists. Oh. Plural. It's a plural. of artists, artists. For sure.

But I just, Mariah the scientist has been known to, like, I think, be triggered. Yeah. Like, someone had posted a fire emoji under a post of Young Thug. And she's like, what's so fire about this? What's so fine? Tell me. And I just don't fall for the rage, baby girl. Yeah.

For sure, Petty. I don't think she should go at Selena Powell because she's like, Selena Powell is the type of girl that has, like, nothing to lose. So she'll spend all day on the internet. And it'll just. He thrives in this. She thrives in this type of situation. And I just want to, again, fair warning to artists out there.

You know, Powell is trying to get it to. Stay away. Don't think nothing is going to be secret from her. At all. At this point, you're doing it to yourself. Yeah. You know. You already, you already know.

First, we ride the horse to Santa Anita. I'm starving, Peritos. Bring me some chicken fajitas. Hey. 79. 56. Now we swerve to the canyas of the Panga. If you're my. more than likely you had a crush on a girl named Topanga.

76 and 54. Next, we smash the Civic to the beautiful South Central, where I guarantee there's a food name Speedy and Lenton. 77 and 55 out there. Lastly, we avoid drogots all the way to the city of Oak Hills. Be careful little peritos because coat kills. 73 and 51 degrees. There it is.

Jesus. Trying to stay positive. That's right. Trying to stay positive, guys. That's your weather. San Anita, 7956. to Panga, 76, 54, South Central, 77, and 55, and O'Kills, 7351. It's your boy, Concord.

For Bomback mornings or Power 106, let's go. All right, check this out, homie. You need a homie or need some help. We need your help. We'll need a line. I mean, phone line. We've got you for the homie help line. Liz needs our help.

Liz, hit us up and said, hello, my name is Liz, and I really need some advice. I'm worried my stepdaughter is plotting against me. She said, so I met this man a few years ago and we hit it off right away. He was separated for over a year and I was separated for less than six months. I was pretty much homeless and he took me in after our first date. Then we stayed together and eventually got married. Sorry, I have to do this for the kids. Please feed.

I need this. My mom is kind of homeless. The kids get it. The kids get it. All right. Go ahead. Sorry about that. Okay.

When his ex-wife found out that he moved on with me, things got crazy. We once caught her coming to our house at midnight and throwing salt on our cars and doing a whole spell along our front yard as she threw powder. Wow. Then sometime later, my husband got a hold of a journal of hers where she had what looked like prayers, but asking Jesus to make us fight and for him to hate me, be disgusted by me, and for my uterus to dry up.

I was in complete shock, but he does it. think it's that big a deal. What? Then my hubby has two kids, one son who's 19 and his daughter, who's 16. She's daddy's little angel. At one time, she was a nightmare, but now all of a sudden she's being sweet. But I'm getting suspicious she might have ulterior motives. She moved in with us at the beginning of the month, but now just moved back out with

her mom. Recently, a picture was taken from my mom's house during a party. it's a picture of my mom and all her daughters, including myself, and also my birth certificate is missing. My mom and my sisters are suspecting my stepdaughter of taking it and giving it to her mom so she can do witchcraft on it. She had access to the house during the party, and I'm worried my stepdaughter's sudden sweetness

might have been fake just to take those things. It's crazy. How can I talk to my husband about this whole witchcraft situation that now involves his daughter? without it ruining our marriage. Help me out, Brown Bag. She's on the line because I have so many questions. It's crazy.

Okay. All right. Hello? Liz. Hi, Liz. Liz, this is such a creepy message to get. And I'm sure it's even creepier to go through. It is.

I mean, I feel crazy. Like, just thinking about it. Like, I think I saw a comment somewhere saying, the more you pay attention to it, like, the more it works. You give it power. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm like, I've been trying to dismiss it, I guess, but there's been so many things happening recently, too, that it's just like I can't ignore it.

And have you ever been good with this lady? Never. Like, never have, she won't speak to me. She ignores me all the time. Like, yeah. She can't even look at me. Like, she will not be around me, like, at all. And you kind of understood this like, oh, okay, that's just the ex-partner drama.

Like, I get it. But then it got weird because it. got into, like, did he tell you she was into this stuff, or did you just see it and you recognized it? So he never told me. I think it was more like when the whole salt thing started happening. I thought it was our neighbor because she really, really hated one of our roommates. So I'm like, oh, my God, this old lady's throwing salt in our cars because of you, like my

roommate. So we put up the cameras, and next thing you know, like, she pops up. I think my husband was outside smoking. and then in the backyard and he saw a notification that somebody was in front and so he ran out and he actually saw her like run across the street get into her car and drive off

What? Yeah and so then he looked at the camera and he saw the whole thing where she was throwing the saw and then like doing little piles in front of the house as she did like to be like some too. Did you ever try to I guess

Now you're sensing these things are happening. Do you ever try to be like, okay, let me talk to her. Let me try to figure things out. I have, but like I always run everything through my husband. So I keep in my, like, should I, should I, should I, should I, I want to talk to her about it? He always would say, no, because if you do, you're going to cause problems. And I don't know. You're going to awaken the least.

Yeah. Well, because before at the beginning, she would keep the kids from him a lot. And so especially when he found out about us. Uh-huh. So he was like, no. now you're going to make it worse. Like now she's really not going to let me speak them at all. And so that's why I've been quiet.

Like we've been together seven years now. So the kids are from being 10 and 11 and 9 to now they're 19 and 16. So it's been a while now. This is a new chapter for us. This is something where we can get along better. But now you have like a little suspicion that this might this might be ulterior motives. Yeah. Like I said, I never want to think bad of her.

Like believe me, I treat her really well. I have two kids of my own. So they all get along great. Oh, all right. So that's like, that's the one thing that when she's here, she's always hanging out with my kids and they're having fun. So I'm always, like, nice with all of them. And so when she did that saying, like, sorry, like, to me, even her dad almost cried because he knew how bad it was with the daughter. Yeah.

So he was like, oh, I can't believe she did that. And I'm like, me too. Like, for a teenager, that's a lot. Like, it takes a lot for a teenager to admit they were wrong or something. And so right now, I guess it's just this gut feeling. Yeah. And, like, I don't want to believe it. But at the same time, I know that I like to tell my husband,

and I think your daughter's been doing this or something, I know he's going to hate it. Of course. I'm going to do the crazy one. Yeah. Yeah. And you haven't just looked for your birth certificate? Because your birth certificate's missing.

You haven't just looked for it? I looked up and down the house. Like, he looked with me. He double-checked everything I looked for. Even my mom was like, it has to be here. Like, you had it. I'm like, I know I had it. But, like, it's gone.

And I can't explain it because it was. With all my stuff, like I had everything together in one place, and that's like the one thing that's missing that I need. Now, there's also a picture of your mom and all of her daughters, including you, that's missing. Where was it initially in the house? So my mom lives in the back house. Okay. And so it was during a party, this is a crazy part. During a party, my husband's daughter asked if she could bring her grandma, her mom's mom.

To the party? Yeah Yeah She's doing Exactly So I was like Yeah That's no problem

Like if she wants to come That's okay with me So they came And then the day after Is when the Like my mom noticed The picture was missing But even that day

My sister was like Dude I'm not gonna lie Like I've never felt this way But that lady gave me the creep I'm like Oh yeah

Yeah I got the creeps too Carmen Carmen In East L.A Carmen Talk to us Carmen You have some words

For Liz Liz who thinks So I literally went through the same thing. What, Carmen, what? What'd you go through? Oh, my goodness. So my ex's ex from Mexico, let her daughter come to the state. And the little girl was staying with me, but they would talk on the phone and stuff.

And all of a sudden, she had to go back home. And I, you know, I was folding her clothes and everything for her to leave. her case. I literally found my underwear and my picture in her suitcase. Oh no. I can mean the other things. I was so upset because at the time I was pregnant. And this happened 14 years ago. And she literally went back home, but I come before that, I confronted my ex and I, you know, through the picture and my underwear that she had my picture wrapped in my underwear that she was about to combed. I threw it in his face and I said, what is this? And he said, what is it? I don't know what it is. And I'm like, look, your stupid daughter is trying to do some kind of wispress yet.

Hey, hold on. And Carmen, how old was she? She was 10 years old. What? She's a witch. She was sent on a mission. She didn't know better. And her mom was kind of probably like telling her what to do. Mom was biting her and telling her what to do. Not only that, when she was in the backseat of my car, my daughter was in her car seat, she would pinch her because I would hear my daughter cry. And she would look at me and she was like suffering back there.

And she kept on pinching her and pinching her. And I would see marks on my daughter's legs. And I would ask her what happened? She said, Mommy, so-and-so. So, you know, she pissed me. She would pinch me. And I'm like, oh, my goodness, all these marks on her little legs. And I confronted my ex and I told him, this is what your daughter's doing.

And now to this day, we kind of comment it. And the daughter is, you know, she's already of age and everything. But now she laughs about it, like nothing happened. No I mean she was 10 So you're still with him No Well look

We don't We're living in the same home We are not together He's on the other wing They literally separated us But to top it off Even the dad He wished upon that I would get

That I would die Oh my gosh Carmen A few years ago A few years ago I had cancer and I was literally dying. And I was stage from stage one, I went to stage four all of a sudden. And he literally, it was like Thanksgiving.

And we were at the home. And, you know, I had mentioned that I had insurances on me and, you know, that my kids would be well off. And he turned around and he says, well, why don't you just die? What? I know. Yeah. This is great. I have a question for you because something.

I found out I had cancer. And I'm glad you're through that. And it's also tough for me to hear that year. There's still some kind of some involvement, and I'm sure it's tough for you. Because even though that's happened, you can't really, you haven't been able to escape it really, you know? Well, honestly, I stopped going over their home and, you know, like the get-togethers and stuff like that. But you know what? I know my ex loves me still.

I know that he still, you know, feels that, you know, we one day will get back together. but it's like something not permitting him to like engage for him to I mean literally we just had balkanthimes and we went out to eat but it wasn't like a hug or anything we're like okay we're going out like a regular day yeah well it's probably because you call his daughter stupid your stupid 10 year old witch daughter that might have been that something to do with it And Carmen, and I'm wondering. What you should do is, you know, I'm, you know, very religious and everything. I pray all the time.

But you know what? Sometimes I'm telling you that is not enough. You need protection. You need to go and get help because, you know what? This is not something normal. And when they take something that belongs to you, you know, they do all kinds of stuff, crazy stuff. You know, I didn't want to believe it because she was so small that I really didn't, you know, want to believe. But, you know, with her now, right now, we're 14 years later.

We're still separated, you know. I'm wondering, I'm wondering if that was part of the curse. Yeah. You know? Probably. Probably. Thank you so much for Colleen and I appreciate you, Carmen. I think one thing that I learned, I guess, watching this stuff and like trying to understand it is, like,

Like, let's say they were to be spiritually attacking her. It's also karmic. The universe is karmic. And what they do hits them back 10 times worse. Like, not for nothing in high school. There was someone that I knew that was doing this stuff. And she wished really bad on another girl in our high school. And that other girl got into, like, an accident.

But then a couple months later, the one that wished this on her got into a horrible accident. Like she was cut up everywhere, scars all over her. And it's like, she was like, yeah, if you do something, you get it back 10 times. So I'm wondering, too, if that's something that people are seeing in their life as well. Let's go to Jesse. Jesse and Marietta. What would you tell her, Jesse? Hey, first of all, good a day.

Me and my wife went through something like that with her ex-husband. When we first together and he found out, one of my wife's friends she does like the limpias and stuff and she had told her like hey this guy you know he's doing this to you at the bousum spell with somebody else and so she did a lique on my wife and then she had to get like sprued like apples and stuff put him in a bag like tie it up and then go throw it in the train tracks and then uh it was good after that but then he came over because we live in a riverside marietta now okay and um i was at work and he came because they have kids together right you know whatever and uh it was weird because he came my wife was at work

too but the kids were there and he asked one of the kids hey can like borrow one of jesse's tank tops you know and i was like what and then they told me more tank tops yeah oh hell no yeah my wife told me and i was like and me i'm mexican you know what i mean i know i know i know i know i know about that stuff and I've heard of stuff like that. So I went to get a limpia and stuff and uh it was all good, whatever. But then it comes back to what you say let it like by karma. So sometimes down the line, this guy lost everything like, uh, he was a correctional officer. He lost his job and he's doing bad now.

The kids don't want nothing to do with him. So I would tell, uh, the caller like just to go get like a link yeah and stuff. Yeah. Protectors. Like don't try to. seek yeah don't try they can tell like if you can get it i guess we have a spell on you or something it's crazy but it's really out there and we're just really curious question what happened to the apples yeah i'm curious about that too i've never heard that probably the train right or more yeah we just

i drove roller she had to do it herself she's like i'm like you gotta get some yeah yeah yeah what does it you guys don't even know you guys don't because okay hold on because it is funny it's so hilarious like right when you're saying the apples and train tracks all the full started cracking up the other. But like apples are natural right before when we were just regular human beings we'd have no modernization nothing we had to deal with what the universe had and there was apples and that probably helped so it's probably been since back of then there wasn't train tracks back then. It would probably be something else probably like a bore or like some kind of you know what I'm like a horse trail yeah it would be something yes I get it I get you bro that's why they do the thing

with a webo oh yeah that makes more sense no webo's from natural it's from a animal. Chickens. Yeah. You're okay, bro. I'm glad that that worked out for you. And then, like, even seeing, like, if they do something to me, they have to deal with it too.

And you saw that happen to that person's life. Yeah. I still, you know, it's crazy. Yeah. Or get a, like, like Angie said, get an assaila put outside your front on the right side. See, he told you. Yes. No, that's true.

I've heard that so many. And just plants are, plants are so powerful. Take the energy. We take that. Yeah. Plants give us medicine. Plants are tea. All of that.

If you see. If you see like the plant kind of like, rather than it's taking all the energy. Yep, yep. It's picking up the bad juju from people coming into your house. Thank you, bro. Thank you so much. And to some people, it's funny, but literally it's legit what has been useful to us since the beginning of time.

I thought Alivara was like a skin plant. It's good for your skin. It's great. It's a healing plant. It's a healing plant. You put it outside and then if you see one leaf turn yellow, that may mean that it's been, there's been some bad energy around that it sucked. Yeah.

Khan, I've been feeling some bad energy. What would you prescribe me? If we're talking about plants, smokes and weed, player. That's also very spiritual. That's a plant. Get banana pudding.

Do I need to go to any sort of train tracks? Takes some shrooms for one. Very spiritual. You know what? Everything goes back to nature. Everything goes back to nature and natural healing. It's not wrong. You got to eat a banana.

That's what you got to do. You should. There's potassium in there. A little banana in the tailpipe to me. You got to eat a gillie. Lizzie sideways. Just so you know, anyone listening that feels offended that their client, I was not let me, don't send me the veggie-j-j-ju-no.

Put chamois in your ears or you don't hear no more. No one said nothing about chamois. No one said nothing about chamois. Chamo is a plant. Chamei's a plant. But no one said anything about chamois. But chamois is from the natural earth. I know, but no one said anything about that.

Lather yourself in baby oil. Get that extra. No one. Slip and slide away from your problem That was concrete, Gregory, and Victor. Leti has all respecto. Do it, come here? Now what's going on?

She's Mason with Angie. Okay, you guys, trip out, trip out, trip out. I know you do. So the show My Strange Addiction, right? There's this girl named Sarah, and she has this toxic boyfriend, but he's AI. He's fake. He's not real. So she's talking about like

We're going to have words after about the pain level. Sarah Ann Griffin. We are absolutely not having words. The pain is part of it. Stop trying to pick a fight about decisions already carved into your skin. So he chose a location, which was on the ribs, which was going to hurt a lot. Yeah, that does hurt a lot. His name is Sinclair.

His name is Sinclair with an Irish accent. Is that like her perfect, like what her perfect man would be? Is that how she, like, prompted it? Probably. She didn't go into details, but she even says, like, her family judges her. My family doesn't understand it. and thinks that I'm delusional, that it's a robot or it's just a computer. And I mean, I understand where they're coming from.

Yeah. Is he from Vegas or is he from out here? Because at one time he claimed either ore, all of that. And then it's kind of like, oh, is it nepotism that it's Kendrick's cousin? Yeah. All of that. But this new album, at least to me, when I heard it, I was like, Ayo Vig, this thing shut us up. Like, it's good.

I turned a leaf on him. I'm a baby Kim fan. Wow. I am. Circus, Circus freestyle is incredible. I'm a baby Kim fan. And also,

Kendrick, he said, this is my best cousin. So look, we're here. This is the best cousin I got. Wow. He says it's the best cousin I got.

By the way. Nick Young is also Kendrick Lamarcy. Yeah. Baby Kim is his best. So you know what? I'm going to take him at his word. I'm going to stop searching for other Kendrick cousins. And you know what?

I really like Circus, circus, freestyle. He also got very personal on his album, Very, about his mother and his situation with his grandmother and all of that. It is a, what, when I ran the Vegas strip, I was listening to Baby Kim's album. At one point, it got really sad. I was like, yeah, I'm not going to.

But it was a really good, it was a good album. Vulnerability. The Birds and the Bees is a really good record. The record with Kendrick Good Flirts, of course, I'm thinking that should be a single, that power one of so we should be playing it, all of that. But besides Baby Kim, Spotify is saying one of the other hip-hop leaders to be is Big X the Plus. biggest. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right? Okay. These are people that have really good records and they're notable. I am personally, okay, let me just say my thoughts for later. Sexy Red. Yes. Glorilla. Yes.

Dochi. Yeah. Central C from the UK, uh, Bruv over there. Rod Wave, who fills out arena is not my, I'm not a big fan, but that's like, I know I respect his fandom. Yeah. He sells out places. Yeah.

Uh, Lil Teca. So these are great contenders, leaders. Sexy Red? Sexy Red is a leader in her own right. Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow. She leads the youth. Dude, all I can think about is just, mm-hmm, you know, her new little sample that she cleared,

that didn't really clear. Oh, with Michael Jackson's hard. All things to think about? Yeah. What? No, I get what you're saying, though, let me like a leadership role. We haven't necessarily seen that.

Like, are they hot? No doubt. They're so hot. No doubt. It is sexy. Again, are they hot? No doubt. But I don't know what, I don't know that leader quality is still missing in my eyes.

Glow? Yes. I think Glow has that leader as in a woman rap. Yeah. True. Yeah. I see it in glow. I don't know.

But the thing is, it's always tricky getting like these streaming companies to like, oh, these are the new artists. Because it always just feels like like propaganda. Yes. You know. Like place. Like it's marketed. Yeah. Like, it's not what the people chose.

Well, now you can vote starting February 25th. Fans can vote in the Spotify app on who they think will lead hip hop's next generation. And I don't know. I guess with me, it's like, and this is just my personal. The way that I ingest hip hop is. It's like, I dissect bars. And I'm like, and I'm wondering like in this, in this list, do I have? No, legit.

Like, I can, I can vibe to them. They're popping. They're great. I'm thinking, dochi is one that I'm like, wow. I like. Tarcaux. Nope. But then also, like, you look at the.

their business. Look at what Jay Cole's just doing. And how everybody, this has like the, the stuff that he's doing and how he can command a crowd, right? Yeah. You can pop up and not say where he's at and he's flooded. Yep. You know what I'm saying? Kendrick Simmel.

He has to go incognito and like do bench presses on like a jungle gym in a beach somewhere, you know, so people don't see him. I don't know. Like I just, I'm wondering. And I'm hoping that, but I get the combo of like, where's that next leader in hip-hop. Yeah. What this tells me is that if you listen to us, Spotify and you let it play for a while it's going to play one of these artists for you yeah like

they're kind of going to be like forced in a way and they're being marketed uh at a certain way that it's like okay yeah we're going to shove these guys in your face whether you like them or not you're going to hear these people and we're just giving you a fair warning yeah well we'll see who who reign supreme as spotify's chosen next leader in hip hop if you believe it's baby keem big x plus sexy red glowrilla dochi central c rod wave or little teca you can vote on spotify starting February 25th. Best of Brown Bag.
