And we are the humble baddies.

What's everybody been up to this past weekend, the last few days?
Ashley and I had us a good time last night.
I mean, yesterday we went to the open house.
Ashley has a nice house on the market right now.
And then it was raining.
We was like, girl, let's go get us something to eat and drink.
We got stuck at the burnt spot.
We got stranded.
You got stranded at the burnt spot. We got stranded. We got stranded at the, um...
Uh-oh.
I don't know.
Yeah, we're stranded, you said.
Yes.
Yeah, I got stranded, um, because it started raining,
and they wouldn't give us our cars.
So I said, let's go back to the bore.
And have another drink or two.
We were drinking away.
I mean, that doesn't sound like a bad being stranded type of situation, Let's go back to the bore and have another drink or two. We were drinking away.
I mean, that doesn't sound like a bad being stranded type of situation.
You know, might as well cheers.
We needed that time to catch up because your ass been on the move, my love.
Yeah, well, they're moving.
You know, what's new?
What's new, Relly Rell?
What you got going on?
I mean, I was on tour.
We know.
What you just doing? We know.
Build a T.
I mean, I wasn't doing, I was handling business, you know.
Okay.
Just business, no pleasure?
Just business, no pleasure.
Okay.
She's a lady of her business.
But you got to be able to, you know, balance both business and pleasure, whether it's a
good night out.
Mr. Yakus, what is pleasure?
Pleasure is having company, you know, or being company, being in company, being in the presence
of other people who are not there for the exchange of business.
The pleasuries of love and happiness and joy and time.
If I did have any pleasure, y'all would not know.
If that was pleasure, y'all know y'all would be the. No, I'm just kidding. I'm gonna find out.
If that was pleasure, y'all know y'all would be the first one.
But it wasn't no pleasure. It was straight business.
Okay.
All right. All right.
As long as you have a good time, you know, and enjoy it.
I'm not mad at it.
What you got going on, Sexy Lexi?
I had an empty house, so I left.
I had friends that were like, you know what, come through, let's hang out.
And I did. And it was the best weekend I've had in a long time of just pleasure.
And not really, it's no business because I am out of school.
No kids.
Culinary school for spring break.
Okay.
No kids.
None of that.
Yeah, because they were coming out for spring break.
We need a break. I do.
And I feel like I'm going to start saying yes more when people are like, yo, come through,
come hang out.
Let's celebrate life.
Because that's what it's about.
And, you know, I'm being really conscious of who I'm taking the time with and spending
that time with, you know what I mean?
So it's really, it was really refreshing just to relax, have a good time, go to brunch, eat, chill out, all that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Feels good.
Well, I just added 10 more mouths to feed to my household.
10? Yeah, I got 10 babies.
Oh, no.
What kind of babies you got over there?
Uh, $50 for no eggs. No, mom. Exactly. Oh my no. What kind of baby you got over there? $50 for no eggs. No, Mom.
Exactly.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm officially a chicken lady.
I got me 10 baby chicks.
Yay!
I feel like a new mom.
I think I might be a little jealous, actually.
Are you? Don't be jealous.
I might need a phone call. I'm going to have to come over and see. little jealous, actually. Are you? Don't be jealous. Yeah.
I have to come over and see.
She made us sit her in a couple of weeks. So I.
Oh, no.
Help take care of my chickens because
Sherelle is trying to steal me away.
So I want to come through
and pet my chickens because I want my
chickens to be happy, chickens like you know like a
Fair exchange you're a part of the family. You know what I mean? I'm not just gonna be taking they eggs
They are you know, I mean
Are they for eggs
Yes, they're for eggs. So I got ten baby chicks. They're all like two around two weeks old
But so they won't lay eggs till like August.
Oh, wow. That fast.
That's fast. It's only eggs tomorrow.
Well, I'm saying if they're babies now and then in August,
they can have they can have babies.
It's a long time to be feeding them out.
They may not give me no eggs back, but you know, it is what it is.
I'll let them grow and develop or whatever.
You have one rooster?
No, I didn't get any roosters.
Well, actually, I don't know if any of them will turn out to be roosters,
but you don't need a rooster. You don't need a rooster.
Oh, so, okay. So I'm learning.
I didn't know the chicken just...
Actually, don't give us a clue.
They just have eggs split out?
Yeah. So the hens will lay.
They just won't be fertilized.
You only need a rooster if you want to have fertilized eggs.
Like if you feed them a hatching baby.
Yeah.
Now, are they loud right now?
Like, they chirp and like make noise?
Yeah, yeah, they chirp.
But it's real cute right now.
It's going to get louder later.
But you should have brought...
Tell Phil them to bring one so we can see it.
They not here. They not here.
When they get here, they will. Girl, my kids love the chickens.
I was just about to ask, you know, the boys.
They are so happy.
It's like black boy joy over here.
Like, it is so beautiful.
To see them, like, excited about something that's not, you know, an iPad
and not a video game, not a road book.
Oh, like, to see them outside enjoying like nature and enjoying something
that is a passion of mine.
Just I'm about to have serenity and are going to come over tomorrow
so she can play with that.
So many. Oh, she got Jason.
I'm telling everybody.
I'm sorry, charging people, though, $10 a pet.
You want to pet my babies?
It's been $10, $10 people, though. Ten dollars a pet. You want to pet my babies? It's been ten dollars.
Ten dollars.
Let's start a little pet.
Speaking of babies.
I love that.
And pregnancy.
Let's talk about our girl,
Croy and Lorraine.
She has been in the block.
Oh, you know, responding to a fan.
Her birthday is coming up.
She's going to be 28 years old.
She looks amazing.
She looks great.
She asked for advice on it.
Um, she asked her fans to give her advice, um, stepping into this new chapter.
And one of the fans clap back came and said, um, basically something about you.
You should have a better choice of choosing, um, your child's father.
choice of choosing your child's father. But her, um,
so she was asking, you know, she was asking for advice and that was what they said
back to her. That was their advice.
Yeah, no, that's messed up because, um, how come, how come it's always the lady
who is like, it's her fault.
Like it's her fault that, you know, she chose wrong
or the situation didn't work out.
I think that's a very judgmental way to go about it.
The comment was, don't get pregnant by dudes
that don't really care about you.
Guess that should have been last year's advice too.
Next time, next time.
And how it's fun.
I already know that.
I feel like we know, but you know, we'd be falling in love
or we just having fun or whatever the case may be.
But it goes both ways.
And it doesn't matter, like, once you realize, like,
you have sex and there's a baby coming,
it doesn't matter on both parts.
Everybody has to step up to the occasion. So we can't blame the lady on what the man is and what he's capable or ready or not ready
to do.
Right.
I feel like us as women, we give everyone, like that's just people in general, you give
everyone a clean slate, a fair chance because every experience is different, right? So her going into this,
she's a woman with emotional creatures. She's thinking like, you know, a man goes, you know,
they don't show their true colors all at once. Like they're gonna wine and dine you when
you first meet. So she's thinking like, okay, you know, I love him. We're about to have a baby, but things, you know, the truth really comes out within her situation.
But I feel like we all go through those things or we all have experienced that. So for that
fan to try to judge her based off of, you know, because she's still up for y'all be
knowing better though. I feel like we really all, like growing up, you know, we all know better.
Like, don't mess with that boy. Don't mess with him. Don't talk to him.
This is the kind of man you should be with, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But until you're like in that situation...
Yes.
...it goes out the window.
Like, you can't be judging people because like we all do things that we know better,
should do better, and we do it.
Exactly. Don't touch the pot.
It's hot, but you're going to go there and like put your finger
there and be like, let me touch it.
I was like, you're going to go touch it.
Let me see how hot it is.
Exactly. Exactly.
I've learned that when you tell somebody not to do something,
that's when they want to do it.
They want to do it more.
Exactly.
And you don't want to like who goes into a situation
and be like, yeah, you know, I'm going to get pregnant
and I know he going to leave. Like, who's who situation and be like, yeah, you know, I'm gonna get pregnant and I know he gonna leave.
Like who's even thinking like that?
And you know, and shame on the fans for really going down on her right now.
This is a sensitive time with her body, her mind, her soul.
Everything is new.
This is her first pregnancy.
So it's just like the audacity is at an all time high.
No one is choosing not to be with their partner that they had, they conceiving with.
Do things happen?
Absolutely.
So I hope she focuses on this last leg of her journey, her last trimester, really focuses
on her health and really her labor because that's really is about to happen.
You know, that that's a whole new life is about to change for her.
And this is the last thing she should be dealing with is people having their opinion on who
you chose as the father of this child.
Again, no one chooses to not have that person in their life, you know what I mean?
Until it happens.
And then you got to figure that out.
So it is what it is.
You know, it's tough.
I think that's for a reason.
You know, it's tough that she probably thought that, you know, she was going to be with someone
and they were going to bring the child this world together, but things happen.
And I loved her response.
She did not clap back.
She said, if I knew better, I'd do better, but we learned to become better.
So she was gracious in her response.
And it's showing that, you know, I'm going into a new year and I don't have to clap back.
I'm giving y'all grapes because I have to hear about
especially like you need to keep your mental together.
Like when you pregnant, we ain't got time to be going on internet fighting with people.
And so you are like going through a hormonal Lee like that baby.
So they feel everything.
Like, I feel like whatever, if you're stressed out, your baby can sense that.
So, you know, good for her for not feeding into the BS.
Why do women always get that blame though,
of like they chose the wrong partner?
Because we're that way.
I feel like we're always taught like,
a lady should be like this, do like this,
don't talk to the bad boys.
You know, like we're kind of raised that way. Whereas boys are raised to like, oh, you lost your virginity. Great.
Like, oh, like, you know, it's a whole different, you know, yeah, it's different for how men
and women are raised and how they're brought up and what's acceptable.
When they make choices, how they're perceived. How they're...
Exactly, exactly.
So, I mean, it's unfortunate that it's like that, but it's just, it's always been like
that, I feel like, since the beginning of time.
Like that stigma about...
Like the style was centered.
All that, like, it's just been that way.
Yeah, that's a good point, Ash.
You're right. We're taught to like really be humble about it, keep your virginity, not, you know, just
really hold on to it as much as possible where the men or boys are like, you know what, they'll
do you.
So, you're oats or you're wild oats or whatever the term is and just go out there and be reckless
with it.
But at the same time, you forget that when you're being reckless with it,
now you're bringing life into it, you know?
So it should be both. That's what I teach my children, you know?
Like...
You know, it's not... We're not bringing any babies up in this house,
you know what I mean? And it goes both ways.
It's the boys and the girls.
They both have to be taught to respect their bodies, things like that.
So, yeah.
But they go back. So we was all taught. I mean,, things like that. So yeah.
We was all taught. I mean, I was taught and looked with.
Don't touch the hot pot.
Don't touch that pot.
Don't touch it.
He was over there like.
How do y'all feel about the clap back response?
Well, she was very graceful about it, but do you feel like, you know, I know we've all
been in comments and clap back and our emotions get involved.
What do you guys, how y'all laughing?
What do y'all think about that?
Like-
That'll be going in on Indy's comments sometimes.
Right, how do y'all feel?
Because we are on the other side of that too. You know what I mean?
Like we should explain, like, what are y'all thoughts
on people having their opinion on what we have to say
or what we believe or our experience?
What do y'all think about that just in general?
I mean, I feel like if they can type it out,
they can get a clap back with it.
So I'm gonna give my response when I have the time.
That's right. Sometimes like I'm done working and I'm bored and some my response when I have the time. That's alright.
Sometimes like I'm done working and I'm bored and some just say,
go on social media and read some of this stuff.
Let me get you together right now.
But there's other times where I'm just too busy and I'm like,
these people have no life.
This is what they do for a living, just sit here and just try to get to you.
But I have to learn that it's not worth
You know stooping down to that energy to to respond that's right. Yeah
Now I you know for the most part. I think I do pretty good at ignoring
the trolls, you know I'm saying but
Being you know, I'd be having to step in there and, you know, most of the time I want
to like not explain myself, but I want to have a conversation because what you just
said was dumb as hell and I can't just leave it there.
You know, I can't leave it at that.
Like I'm not going after people who are saying dumb stuff or calling me names.
Like I'm not, but if it's really about something and there's a, you got me completely misunderstood and it's about something that's not worth explaining or talking about,
then I don't mind going in.
And I feel like, you know, some people you do have to use a curse word to sometimes because
they be acting like fools and they understand.
But you know, I think I do really good at not doing that, not like going in there, because
people are crazy these days.
And like at one of my open houses, I had a stalker come.
Like people really are crazy.
So I just don't want to make the crazier people crazier and like try to come find me.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I'm a little scared of them.
So for the most part, you know,
I think we should just ignore those people
and keep them moving like Koi did.

The host of Locatora Radio, a radiophonic novella, which is just a very extra way of saying a podcast
We're launching this season with a mini-series
Totally nostalgic a four-part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s
It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K
2000s my favorite favorite memory, honestly,
was us having our own media platforms
like Mundos and MTV3.
You could turn on the TV, you see Talia,
you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen,
all the girlies doing their things,
all of the beauty reflected right back at us.
It was everything.
Tune in to Locatora Radio Season 10.

Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcasts.
My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows
with J. Edgar Hoover
in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI
and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors
and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the god-damn-est love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was
divine intervention. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts.
Yeah, I never experienced it until we had that open house and that lady
This lady came to my open house
Pull she backed up like waiting for me to come out
Asking everybody coming out. Are you actually are you actually so it's the end we're leaving
it's just me and Sherelle and two of my other friends there and
She's like, are you actually I'm thinking it's the end, we're leaving. It's just me and Sherelle and two of my other friends there. And she's like, are you Ashley? I'm thinking it's like an agent. Girl, it's a stalker.
She's like, hey, my name is so-and-so and I heard you got a problem with me.
And I'm like, oh my God, who are you? What's your name? Like, I don't know. Because I'm like,
oh, wait, wait, wait, what's happening? And she's. It's like, yeah, like I heard you got a problem with me.
You're you are realtor, right?
I know who you are. You're trying to be like me.
You copy everything. I like this crazy. Just talking crazy.
She said I wanted her to die and she I said, how are you talking about?
Like, you're clearly confused.
She like scrolled to some pictures as she showed me on my Instagram.
And it had humble baddies, but our face, I mean our bodies covered the-
It was a humble baddies picture, but our face covered all the other letters except for the D-I-E in baddie.
And she said that that picture was me saying I wanted her to die.
Was me saying I wanted her to die
Yeah, listen
In the car Yeah, I do that. You can't roll up on nobody like that
And I told her I said we have to calm her down because she was really like upset and like I don't know what she was
Gonna do like it was a moment. You know what I mean? And so people really are crazy out here. So we have to be careful.
Yeah. You know, like we are being very transparent.
We're on social media, you know, doing our podcast.
We're on TV, you know, and we like to engage with people.
But some people when there's there's the I never's how I think that was a very scary moment.
And I'm very scary because what if I was by myself?
It was also confident with your business too.
Like at the end of the day, you are working, you are, you know, navigating
your space and someone coming in there and want to put this energy out there is
really disrespectful.
So yeah, I say all that to say, keep it cute with these people because people don't have
it all.
They internalize it.
Yeah.
I think that's why I like, I choose not to really internalize the comments.
I know people are definitely going to have an opinion and we do.
Everyone does.
But I, there's lines that get crossed when you start
talking about children, family members.
And then I get a little defensive, like when I start reading comments
about my people, too, you know, I start to like internalize it, you know.
Don't talk about my kid.
Like I start. Yeah, I don't like that.
You know, I feel like I have to like the lioness in me has to come out.
But I feel like I try not to just go into social media
like knowing that people are gonna come because they are so I try not to just put that in my in my spirit just because
You know, please everybody, you know
I engage more with the people who are showing love, you know, like I'm trying to like comment back
respond people more with the people who are showing love, you know? Like, I'm trying to, like, comment back, respond to people, ask questions.
The positivity.
Yeah, exactly. The positivity and then let everything else go.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, because it's instant.
It's an instant comment, instant gratification,
very much instant.
You know, we gotta go home, we gotta rinse his,
we gotta feed him, we gotta work,
we gotta do all these other things. So, we gotta feed him, we gotta work, we
gotta do all these other things.
So I get that.
I get that.
Yeah.
So sometimes it's just, it's better.
Shout out to our girl, Koi, because she responded very well and you just, I know it's...
Very mature.
Very mature.
It's tempting at times where you just want to clap back because people just feel like they know your whole life story.
They it's like they're living your life and they be dead as loud and wrong.
But it's like loud and wrong.
It's like you can't entertain that.
Just, you know, move gracefully.
Let's let's move like poi from now on.
And I'm going to take my advice. Let's move like boy from now on. And I'm going to take my advice.
Let's move like boy.
You know, see, Sherelle, you know, see, let's see.
I see it when I believe it.
I mean, I believe it when I see it.
That part.
Why should we move on to our next topic?
This is a good one.
What would you have told?
What good advice would you have told your 21 year old self?
Mm hmm. Oh, well. What good advice would you have told your 21 year old, Seth? 21.
When we talk about babies and men and stuff, my advice would be to any young lady, don't
have sex with a man you wouldn't be prepared to have a baby with first.
I like that one.
Yeah. I like that. I like that. Yeah.
I like that.
I like that.
At the end of the day, sex is for making babies.
Period.
It ain't for pleasure, too.
Wait, I was going to say, wait a minute.
What have you done, what have you done making babies?
Reproduction.
What have you done with reproduction and you just want to get that good feeling?
Oh, but I'm just saying.
That good feeling.
I'm just saying, you just, in your mind, you're engaged in the baby.
You're engaged in the baby.
You're engaged in the baby.
You're engaged in the baby.
You're engaged in the baby.
You're engaged in the baby.
You're engaged in the baby.
You're engaged in the baby. You're engaged in the baby. You're engaged in the baby. You're engaged in the baby. You're engaged in the baby. What if you're done with reproduction and you just want to get that good feeling? Oh, but I'm just saying...
That good feeling.
But I'm just saying, you just, in your mind, you're engaging in an act
where it's a possibility that a child can be conceived.
So just always keep that in mind. And I feel like that's smart.
That keeps you from having sex with fuckboys.
Like, that keeps you from flipping your body away to people who...
Those soul ties.
I was praying I was pregnant.
I was pregnant.
Yeah, he's real.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just take a second and be like, does he deserve my body?
Does he deserve, can I have a child?
If I were to get pregnant today, would he be the kind of guy that I want to have a relationship
with for the next 18 years?
Yes.
Like think about it.
And really, further than 18, let's be 100.
Right, but I mean, for sure the next 18 years.
So it's like, I think if you think about who you're having sex with in that way, it might
save you a few times.
It's interesting you said 21.
I was actually pregnant with array at 21.
And so it was like bittersweet.
So what I would tell my 21 year old self is just you wait, because
it actually worked out for me, obviously, because she was the first of four.
And, you know, so it's like that that story happened
and I wouldn't change anything about it.
But it was also a different situation.
We had financial assistance.
We had help, you know what I mean?
We could have, it was a different way of life.
But at the same time, I tell my kids this now, because my oldest array will be 20.
I'm like, look, you can't afford a child.
You can't afford it.
It's just is what it is. You know, it's a different situation.
And you're selfish.
You like to go shopping.
You like to go do your thing.
Have fun and be a 21 year old self.
Like I couldn't even go drink at 21 turning 21.
You know how it's like, oh, let's go celebrate.
You're now 21 because I was pregnant.
So, you know, which I don't again, don't regret anything.
My path is my path.
But like just at 21 is such that precious age of you just don't know shit.
You know, you really figuring things out.
So those adventures have those adventures, you know, that's what I would say.
What about you, Rob?
What would you tell your 21 year old self?
Well, tell my 21 year old self to, you know, slow down and live life.
Slow down, but still live life.
You know, I was married at 21, so it was different for me.
I felt like I had to do everything so fast that I didn't get to enjoy,
you know, my younger adulthoods because I was the early mom.
And I would, that's the main advice I would say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like that.
21, we feel like we grown though.
We do.
Oh, I can buy alcohol, I can drink.
I can do this.
Even though we was drinking earlier than 21.
You know.
Definitely think you grown. I'm grown. I can drink, I can do this, even though we were drinking earlier than 25. You know, still to be.
Definitely thinking grown.
Oh, I'm grown.
I can gamble, I can do this.
I was 21, I was a homeowner at 21.
It's like I'm in the military, you can't do nothing.
I got a military ID card.
Can you say nothing?
Yeah, I felt like I grew up fast too in my 20s,
just being a mother and traveling and having homes and just really access access and privilege so young too. It's just it was a lot
It's a whirlwind, you know, but I was far away. I didn't have any family. I was in a hole
That's a lot North Carolina all my family in Alabama. So it was just like me
You know my child and then yeah, I'm a full-grown adult. Okay. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
That was a great question, by the way.
That is. Yes.
All right. Let's get into it.
Yeah, we got our our little star.
Ari said, how do you say his name?
Yo, Sean. Yes.
Yo, Sean. Or Yo, Sean.
Yes. Fine. I think your son. Ari, don't kill me. yo Sean? Yo son. I think.
Yo son.
Ari don't kill me.
I don't know guys.
Yo son's name.
Yo son snaps after fans crash his mommy slash son carnival date
with Ari Fletcher.
These kids be tired of these people coming into their lives.
I don't know if y'all pay attention,
but he has a big personality.
Like, he speaks, he says whatever he wants to say.
He just expresses himself very well.
But apparently, he don't play about his mama and his time.
So what happened was, the two stepped out for a fun night at the carnival.
But what was supposed to be a chill mommy Sunday quickly turned into a full on public reaction, whatever.
They shared a clip on her IG story showing the two walking through the fair, but things
took a turn when a growing crowd of fans started trailing them.
The energy was loud, the excitement was real real and extra screams. Your son screamed out.
I can't do this. Oh, videos. Ari played it. He said, I can't do this. Like y'all gotta let these
children be children. These kids alone. But, but I, you know what I say Ari probably needs to pull
back from showing so much of his personality on,
on, you know, social media.
That's what I was going to say.
Because at the end of the day, these kids are still kids.
I agree.
And people become fans.
They even become fans of the kids.
Well, I was going to say, she just needs to not post where she is.
That's true.
Not not post where she is. That too. Not post to her son.
I mean, that's a personal choice too.
But I feel like if she never posted where she's at
and she's at a very public place,
like the fair is like, or the carnival is, you know,
it's an out in the open type environment,
it's almost like she was looking for the attention.
Like, I don't know, but I'm saying, like if you post in your celebrities,
if you post where you are,
you know there's a million people here around,
it's kind of like, well, what did you expect?
You know what I'm saying?
But I think that comes with like, you know,
this day and age, like celebrities,
they have to stay relevant,
so they're always posting or whatever.
And I get that, but I think, you know, if you have your kids around, this day and age like celebrities they have to stay relevant so they're always coasting or whatever and I
Get that but I think you know if you have your kids around you should like respect their
You know their energy their space and you know they don't want to be the celebrity. They're not the celebrity so
You know I think maybe
Next time don't do that because you know that he doesn't like that.
He wants his mommy's time. You know what I mean?
Yeah. It could be very much traumatizing and going back to what we were talking
about a little bit earlier too with people just pulling up on you.
You know, if you post them where you are in real time, like, hey guys, I'm at the fair.
You know, and then obviously people are pulling up or they're going to be at the same location,
they're going to notice that you're there and look for you.
And you're really putting it in.
It becomes mentally taxing too on everyone that's around you, especially these children.
He obviously is reacting and it's triggering for him.
So as a mom, I'm sure she was very much like a little taken aback by it,
because if he's emotional about it, that means he's screaming out for like,
I need some help. Like, this is too much.
And I would try to, you know, choose some places that are a lot more like,
you know, exclusive and really not so much like out there and open.
Obviously, you want to take your children to the carnival, but it's a hat.
It's friends, it's security.
It's the way you move.
And, you know, you know, see an already, you know,
I don't want to blame her for anything, but she's very much a public figure
and people see her.
And so I would tone it down.
I would be in an opposite of what I usually wear.
So people don't really know it's me.
You know, I would try to like really suppress that and really try to do that because we've had to do that
before.
There's a way that you have to teach your kids how to maneuver.
Living in New York, you go down the street, I have to wear a hat and lip gloss just because
there's paparazzi on the corner looking just for something.
And it's just a way that you have to teach our children because they didn't ask to be put in these situations, you know, of public persona.
But there's ways that you have to still teach these children how to, you know, understand
like these are people, people will come up to you.
And I would have had to remove them from the situation just to protect my child.
That's a tough one.
Yeah, you just have to be mindful. Very mindful.
Even if she didn't post it, she's like a high profile individual and he still has a big
personality so when people see you in public, they're going to want their fanshop. They're
going to want to come up to you. But they're not thinking like at the end of the day, this
is still a little child. Respect that. It happens with Serenity. We'll be in the airport and they'll be like,
French fry, hey, French fry, French fry, French fry.
And I'm like, just, you know, hey, keep it moving.
Like, so I try to tell chat,
like, let's not post the kids too much.
I don't post my kids a lot.
You don't see them on my social media
because it's too much until they're ready
to make the decision of,
they wanna be on social media like that then out loud.
But it's just let them be kids.
Let the kids be kids.
I know another child.
What's her name?
Kim's daughter.
North.
North.
North be going in on her fans.
Y'all remember when she was shooting birds at the people and write some statements.
These kids want to be kids. Let these kids be kids.
They do want to be kids.
But it's like, unfortunately, I mean, I think people have to understand to like,
this is their these are people's jobs.
This is how they, you know, make an income.
And there's they're also parents.
There's also they're wearing many hats, you know.
So like there's a time and a place where you just don't wanna be
a celebrity sometimes.
You just wanna take your child to the carnival.
You just wanna go to the grocery store.
Things like that. I feel like people have to also respect
when they see people like fans and celebrity, or, I'm sorry,
when you see a celebrity or whatever out,
and they're with their people, like, family or on a date
or things like that. Respectfully give them their space.
I know it's like, it's shocking you like,
ooh, I didn't expect to see X, Y, and Z,
but it has to be a mutual respect of like,
they're doing regular stuff.
They are not working right now.
They are not the Wolverine from X-Men.
They are not, you know, the basketball player
that's dribbling down the court right now.
They are having their father right now.
They are getting groceries
because they got to cook food tonight.
Like, it has to be some kind of like social awareness They are having their father right now. They are getting groceries because they got to cook food tonight.
Like, it has to be some kind of like social awareness
of when you see celebrities.
People don't care. People like, this is a once in a lifetime.
Yeah.
And like, let me go ahead. They're not thinking about, you know, family awareness.
They're not. No, no, they're not.
All they're thinking about is if I see Beyonce.
Exactly.
I'm sure her bodyguard's not not gonna let you get that close.
You're gonna be like, back up.
I'm gonna be right up in her face.
What am I crazy?
What were you eating tonight?
At the end of the day, I don't blame it on the fans.
I blame it on...
It's our responsibility as parents to make sure, you know,
our kids are comfortable,
because we are public figures.
So just, I think as parents,
we just need to be more self-aware of when we're going
in these big cracks, how to protect our kids
and let them be kids and enjoy themselves.
So maybe if we're gonna go out in a busy timeframe,
like if I'm going to a carnival with my kids, I like to go when it's,
because I want to ride rides.
I ain't got time to be paying these lines.
I ain't got time to be paying these extra fees to skip the line.
And you only can skip certain ones.
I'm going to go when it's low key quiet and the kids can have a good time.
So just be cautious and, and think about the child.
Mm-hmm.
That's right.
Yeah. Well, clearly he's upset.
I would be him too.
People ruin it.
Your son got a big personality.
I need him a much...
That too.
He gonna tell you like it is.
Yeah, it's tough. You gotta be mindful of like, you know...
That's a good big personality,
because he's speaking up for himself, and he's being very vocal about it. It's tough, but you gotta be mindful of like, you know... But that's a good personality,
because he's speaking up for himself,
and he's being very vocal about it.
You know, some kids, they just, like, shut down.
So, I think that's good that he is...
Definitely has awareness, right?
You know, whatever's boundaries at such an age like that, for sure.
I've been real mindful about, like, sharing my location, too.
You know, I don't post until I leave just for those reasons.
And it's tough because when you, you want to really have a good time and be in the moment.
So that's why I've been trying to be more conscious of that.
I just really enjoying the moment and really just enjoying where I'm at, who I'm with,
and not really just like posting so much anymore about that.
You know, I just want to keep those memories intact now.
Very protective, protective over it.
Yeah, that's smart.
Posting later is always the best way to go.
Yeah, for sure.
My question to you guys is at what point does fame stop being fun?
Like, do you think celebrities ever wish they can go back
to being just regular people at times?
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it gets old not being able
to just do like regular, normal, everyday stuff,
not being able to just go to the grocery store
and get your own food, you know?
Just not being able to be outside,
like I can't imagine, you know, without people like
being in your face.
But I think it comes with the territory, you know?
So I think it's just one of those things that they probably just have to like suck up to
the job or chalk up to the job, you know?
Yeah, I believe it's a lot in balance too, you know?
What are the other hobbies?
What other places can you go and do things where you can really be yourself and not have
to deal with people?
I feel like that's when you have to start getting more private and being like maneuver
a little bit differently.
Just like private rooms or just those kinds of things.
It's definitely, I don't think there's a regret because obviously if this is your job, you
know, and this is your craft or your art, and obviously you're a public figure because
of that celebrity, you can't help it, you know what I mean?
You can't not do your passion.
You cannot not follow your dreams just because it becomes too much.
And people do.
They retire, they stop, they pivot, they go and do something else, which is all great.
But I feel like, you know, you just have to learn how to maneuver a little differently,
you know, whether it's security, whether it's privacy and different ways of travel,
just those things where you can still center yourself and your being to where you want to
still do your job.
But then also you can still be your be yourself on the other side of it.
I really like it when I see like there's certain celebrities, like, I don't know, I can't think
of none right now, but like who you see them outside, like they're not afraid to like go
out and like, you know, they don't necessarily have a whole bunch of security with them,
but you might see them out at the grocery store.
You might see them out with their friends for dinner.
Like I like that because it's like, I feel like when you try to like, if you're a celebrity,
you try to just be mysterious, you know, like nobody knows where you are, like what you
do.
If you're not like the human being, you're not out to you, it's your family, you know,
like regular, normal what you do. If you're not like the human being, you're not out to you, it's your family. You know, like regular, normal, everyday stuff. Like it humanizes you to like, for us to see you out,
you know, being a regular person. And I think that kind of too, I mean, if they don't get,
you know, bogged down with fans. But I feel like just seeing people out more often,
being doing normal things could probably help, you know?
more often being doing normal things could probably help, you know?
But yeah, I mean, it come with the job, so you can't complain.
That's true.
I get that. I get that.
What do y'all think about even just kids in general growing up in the public eye like that? Because he didn't ask to be here, like to deal with it, but he has to by default.
What are you guys' thoughts on that with children and you know, do they have to have the same
thought process? Do they have to have the same caution? You know, he didn't ask, he
didn't ask for liberty.
I feel like with the kids, you can just read them and tell. Like with my kids, you know,
one likes to be in the public eye,
the other one don't, very low key.
So don't pressure it, don't force it up on them.
You can't help that you are in the public eye,
but I mean, you just talk with your kids
and you ask them and respect their wishes,
even though they're young, they do have views, point of views at their early age, and they're, you know, they're young. They do have have views, point of views at their early age.
And they'll let you know how they feel.
Yeah.
I'm going to tell me in a minute.
Delete, delete, delete.
No, they can affect their mental.
Like you forcing it up on them.
You see so many kids like these Disney kids who were, who were great stars and you know, they they pushed them and
Orlando Brown
Yeah, like a lot of them are just
Went a whole different route what we expected as the check how they were as you know, young young children
So it's just you just have to be careful because you don't know what the world, what society can do to cause their mental space to go a different route. And like now they just,
yeah, so I agree. Be careful.
I agree. Oh, it's a lot.
Yeah, it's a lot.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows
with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI
and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the God-damnedest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, yeah. My girl, Erica, about to let's get back. Erica Badu.
I want to go.
I saw a picture with her and she had a big ass.
Was that her ass or was that baby?
Oh, I don't know if it was.
It was shade.
You think it was shade.
We saw that.
We saw that.
You said what I said was in both shade or saw that, we saw that outfit.
You said what? I said, was it bold shade or a bold statement
or you think she was just having fun?
I mean, I think it's past the pettiness.
I mean, that's, that's, it was the Pisces.
Well, that's the same thing she was trying to make.
They like, well, they said she was shading the BBL trend.
Because it was enormous.
You know, I don't fault anything when you do with your body.
But some people just get outrageous.
Bad BBL.
Y'all going to see them. Just get outrageous and they got bad, bad BBL.
Y'all gonna see them. Yes.
I see them all the time.
Especially like booty.
I was gonna say we live in Miami, guys.
Like, the booty don't match.
The BBL, these BBL killin' y'all.
What's how that sound?
Booty looking like a ant booty.
It's out of control.
It's her thing.
No, it really is crazy.
But I mean, you know, Erika Badu comes from, you know, a different generation.
You know, she comes from the natural body.
Neosoul.
Yeah. So, of course, like, that's not her thing.
Of course, like, she's like, oh, that's what y'all like.
You know, let me let me make fun of it or whatever, because that's not her thing. Of course, like she's like, that's what y'all like, you know, let me, let me make fun of it or whatever, because that's not her style. That's not her
essence. You know what I mean?
I think you better call Dr. Miami.
She's on that call time. No, she's telling them to call Dr. Miami and fix that thing,
baby.
I've been hearing a lot. But you baby. I've been hearing a lot.
But, you know, I've been hearing a lot of like negative stuff about BBOs.
Like, I feel like they're still very popular.
But now I feel like there's a trend of people who are like, you know, they don't
want them. They don't like them anymore.
They're starting to take them out.
I feel like social media kind of impacted that and really low key.
Let's let's let's take it all the way to like the Kardashians,
especially Kim, you know, that curvy look,
that very much like enhanced look.
And you know, we've been tugging some curves
and some heavy weight a long time, since before time.
You know, I'm the healthiest and curviest
I've ever been in my life right now.
And I wouldn't change it for the world.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, thank you so much.
You know, but it's just like, you know, I know what I had back there.
I love them.
That muscle memory.
But you know, I just feel like it's, it's become, it's glamorized and it became very
much like, I want one of those too, because I'll have, I'll have, you know, this more
attention. But do you feel like social media has impacted the surge of BBOs? And now do
you think social media will impact like maybe the resurgence of it? Like just almost like
the decline, I should say, not the resurgence, but the decline of it.
Honestly, I think it's social media, it's men.
That's all men talk about.
You think it's men?
They want big asses.
Like, that's what they want.
That's what they like.
That's what they glorify.
So it's like you have all these women like, dang, you know, we do, we try to get what the men want.
Like we want their attention.
So we're going to do things, you know, what some,
a lot of women are going to do things like, okay,
this is what he likes.
So this is what I'm going to get.
So I feel like-
But you sure it's not women trying to, you know,
one up other women either?
One up, competition.
Yeah, like competition.
It can make sure of everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like women do a lot for women now.
Like, women want to have the best BBL, the best body,
the best weave, the best nails.
I don't... I mean, we know men like women.
I feel like men are going to like women regardless.
Like, if we got a big ass, if we got a little ass,
if we, you know, like...
Everyone has their own preferences.
Men are men. They are going to stick their thing in anything.
So, I mean, I don't necessarily feel like it's the...
We're doing it for the men. I feel like we're doing it because, like you said,
like kind of competition with other women like oh
Let me get my the best body
Let me get the best hair the best knit like the best of everything
You know so I can look better than that girl not because I want to get that man
You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm at the end the same breath. They're like, you know
These men ain't worth it anyway, So it's like, we not doing all this for the men.
But this is what men talk about.
What I'm saying is they talk about they like big asses.
So if you don't have a big ass, you're going to be like, these men talking about big asses.
That's all they talk about.
That's what they still have sex and they still point.
It's parents that still having sex, but it's a glaring little booty like me.
It's not everybody can get a booty either.
It's a lot. It's a lot of fun. It's... Not everybody can get a booty either. It's blowing fun. It's blowing fun. Big asses.
So what people gonna do? What women gonna do?
Even men. Shit. Some of these men are...
They are.
Oh my God.
Yeah. So I feel like it's a competition more so though.
Everybody want to have the best everything.
The best everything.
Especially when you got access to it.
You just like, let me go and enhance it.
This will make you feel better.
I think it becomes an issue when you're starting to do everything.
Like you just...
I think it's like a comparison, you know?
Women are to always compete.
We're always comparing ourselves to what we don't and do have.
Like, I want what she got, you know?
We always want what we don't have, too.
You know what I mean? Like, I want a big ass. Not really, but you know, we always want what we don't have to you know, I mean like I want a big ass
not really but you know a little something but
To get a video. Okay, everybody wants that but I don't want
I'm gonna eat these gummy bears and hopefully
I mean, but I
Really think it's like a comparison thing. It's like, you know, what does she got? Okay, she got that
Okay, I'm gonna get a better one, you know
Mm-hmm
Everything
Everything
Yeah
You know, but at the end of the day, I feel like it's like we still again we we were born with a lot of these
This already, you know,
I heard about the BBL stinking.
Yeah.
The BBL stinking.
What?
How the BBL stink?
How the BBL stinking?
There's a very distinct smell, a very distinct.
Hey, Ashley, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
First time for phone.
Wait, time out.
What a god.
Y'all better write in the comments.
I know people, but I mean, I've never smelled that.
The smell.
They said it's like...
I think when you have a bad one, like if you have that...
Oh, Lester, you're not luscious.
Yeah, I think it's from people not getting the massages
that you're supposed to get, like the lymphatic drainage.
And so...
Lester, come on.
Too much fucking ass.
Too much ass.
And they don't know how to wash their ass after they done
got all this booty.
No, but they said it's a specific from the BBL ones.
They're not talking about the natural big booty girls.
They said the BBL.
I'm telling you these new BBLs, big booties, they ain't used to all that booty back there
so they don't know how to reach back there and watch they behind.
No, but they also said though it's because of the fat cells and they're not getting the
lymphatic drainage or something like that and then it starts sinking or some shit.
I don't know.
Wow.
We didn't find out.
I don't know. Now, I may not get a BBL, but there's this thing I saw.
What'd you see?
What'd you see?
What the hell you think that I was lying?
I didn't even know what it was.
What is that?
What is it?
It's where they break your ribs.
Oh, no.
And then you wear a corset and it's...
Like, make you sense, like, sense your waist.
You look thick.
So sense your waist.
Sense your waist to make your butt bigger.
But...
No, it has nothing to do with your butt.
My butt is gonna be my butt.
Ashley, you don't have a waist.
Yes, but I'm like straight up and down,
have like a curvy body, So my hips are like my ribs.
Listen, OK, I know what I'm talking about.
I know my body. OK, you ain't doing this.
That. Well, it looks a little intriguing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And doing on my ribs, that ain't nothing.
I mean, I just to make you just look like I look like nothing in my body. They not taking that now
It's just like you just said they were moving remove. They don't take them out. No, they just break them
They just pop them out a little bit and then you want hell no
That sounds painful. That does
You will trust a doctor to go in and break your ribs.
I mean, I'm going to be sleep.
I'm going to be sleep. You know, it's just.
What? That's OK.
So all these bitches is going to all the other countries, getting fucking BBL.
And I can't go get a little broken rib or two.
I don't know that the ribs broke.
I don't know nobody personally, exactly.
But I would I would like to find out more. You got me the test dummy.
OK, I said, well, no, because I'm smart.
I said, you know what?
I'm going to come back to this in a year or two.
So I, so they can think about it.
And they can get good at it and thinking about it and we'll think about it.
And then I'll, and then I'll revisit.
I don't want to say it.
The corset surgery is usually done on today.
Women who don't want to have any more kids. Oh, cause it's called corset surgery is usually done on today, women who don't want to have any more kids.
It's called corset surgery.
That's you.
You.
That sounds like you.
I don't want to have any more kids either, but I'm scared.
That sounds like a good candidate.
I'm a good candidate.
The corset, that's what it's called now.
So it gives you that stench waste of a corset.
Okay.
So I have seen some things of a corset. OK, so I have seen some things on it. I'm not trying to be like the corset.
I'm not trying to be like irregularly small.
I'm just trying to get a little shape.
You know what I mean? Like that little Coke bottle.
They said somebody said allegedly Janet Jackson got it done.
OK, so Janet, send me a doctor, please.
Share, share.
The level better you are.
I might find out what doctor she went to.
Because if Janet went to them, then, okay, they're good enough.
I might not be able to afford that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
That's some different...
I'm all for everyone doing what they need to do for themselves,
whatever makes your confidence go,
but I feel like there's extremes to everything.
Oh, yeah, just a couple of rips.
I really hurt now thinking about it.
Me too.
I need mine.
I want them all.
Yeah.
I love all this chunky chomp chomp.
Chomp Chomp.
That's smart.
That is crazy.
Yo, okay, enough about the BBL talk,
because Ashley said she want the corset,
so the BBL state, the BBL booty juice.
They got the BBL booty juice.
They just said they need that in the chat.
I still gotta find out about that,
the BBL booty juice is crazy.
The BBL booty juice.
Yeah. It's thing, it's a thing apparently.
I can't wait to find that out. I love it.
Reporting on what the people said.
Okay, y'all, we all grew up in the church, right?
Yep.
I was a good old, good, good...
It's, it's, it's, it's, it's more than that for pasta.
Pasta, pasta, you know what I it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I see what you did there. I ain't see the best in it.
And up in Marvin's cell when he told the people to lock the bushes,
to lock the door, lock the door, get y'all behind down.
Because y'all ain't going nowhere but out to eat, to feed y'all.
So I need y'all to empty y'all money and don't date.
We going nowhere until we raise all this money.
He definitely spelling profit wrong instead of what a pH needs to put an F in there, profit.
We gave him some profit.
And the ones that's co-signing were his foolishness, who they co-branded.
Some of the deacons and investors that was behind him.
So they were trying to get money for him,
or this is for the building fund, or this is for...
You know, the building fund.
You know, the building fund.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm not front-tying, you know.
Obviously, in the church...
It's the love offering. It's the love offering.
Yeah, it's like...
It's the past appreciation. It's the love offering. It's the love offering. Yes. I got all the paper offerings. It's the pastor appreciation.
It's the love offering.
Yeah.
I mean, my grandfather used to be, he passed away.
He was a presiding elder.
I grew up in the church and not-
That's a big deal.
One time.
And all my years of growing up,
being on the usher board, being in the choir,
being, you know, having vacation, Bible school, everything that we have, like five offerings.
There was no churches.
They make it. They lock it.
Those they put in a security.
It ain't even a usher going to those.
It's the security.
And you ain't going nowhere until you take you got about six offerings.
Now, you never seen nothing like that a day in my life.
And I grew up in the South.
I, no, half of my family was that.
This half was Methodist AME.
And we had, and when we took up offerings,
we had a benevolent offering, and all the-
You had the benevolent.
Yes, and then you had a sign.
What does that really mean anyway, right?
It's just, what does that even mean anyway?
We just tithing, we just sending it off.
Listen, I'm going to tell you how our church operated.
You had a sign up there of how much was collected each Sunday, Saturday, Sunday, right?
That's right.
You're singing, you're good on him.
He's an on-time God.
Yes, he is. When that money
started, it started passing around. But it was times where, where if someone in, oh yes
he is. When people and church members really need their bills paid. And you know, my grand
auntie would actually cut checks to, to make sure that the church members, you know, my granddaddy would actually cut checks to make sure that the church members,
you know, their lights were on if they need to pay us or whatever.
Now it's like, y'all just want these people to spend their rent money.
It's the first of the money.
They land.
Everything.
Yeah.
I don't like it.
Tithing is still 10%, right?
Is it 10% is a tithing percentage.
And you know, I don't know, still in church taxes, they pay no taxes.
But we starting to see pastors with the suits, with the Gucci, the Fendi, the Prada, everything,
the jets, private jets, and these mega churches.
But it's like, you know, we're paying for a lot.
You know, the smoke, the graphics.
And I'm going to tell you, I'm going to go support one of my friends at a church in Florida.
And, you know, the church was amazing, but it was pastors traveling from all up north.
And you got to be careful with them up north pastors.
They be, you know, they be funneling money from the, from the street people, not the up north.
Some of the up north, not everybody now, not everybody.
One of the pastors got up there to speak and he had this big pinky ring on, he was
decked out and I said, I have, I still have this text message.
I text the group that I was with. I said, don't trust him.
And if he come and lay his hands on y'all,
do not let this man touch y'all,
because he ain't right.
Because he had that pink huming on him.
He had a big shiny pink ring.
I said, he's not right.
There's something about him.
Yes, ma'am.
It was a telltale sign.
I mean, somebody like that.
Look, I got heat.
Don't worry about the pastor.
We don't want to delay this. Wait, before it, so at the church, the pastor trying to touch people,
like his hands and I said, I'm sorry, you know, I don't let people,
everybody lay their hands on me.
I was taught not to let everybody put their hands on you.
So two months later, fast forward, the pastor is locked up by the fed.
No, he ain't. I swear to God.
PPP fraud. PPP fraud.
PPP fraud.
PPP fraud.
They're from the churches and PPP fraud.
Uh uh.
See?
And again, don't have to pay taxes.
You don't have to pay taxes. You keep all them points.
I feel like also the
the pastor
like the leader of the church I feel like also the pastor, like the leader of the church, I feel like should kind of
separate themselves from the money part of it.
Like in the church I grew up in, it was like the trustees, they did everything.
You know what I mean? Like, so it was no confusion.
It wasn't one person that was in charge of all the money. It wasn't, you know what I mean? So it was no confusion. It wasn't one person that was in charge of
all the money. It wasn't, you know what I mean? It was like a board of trustees who
was in charge of collecting the money and where the money was.
They handled all of that. My dad was a trustee actually. And my mom was the, she was the,
what was my mom? The secretary of the church. So we was in church, you know, all day, every day too.
All the time.
Yeah. But fast forward to churches that I go to now regularly, they don't even take
up the offering. You do it on your own. So you can do it online. You can put it in the
box in the home.
You're discreet.
You know, on your own, but it's all done on your own. Every now and then they'll take
up like, you know, a special offering for something or whatever, but your everyday ties that you
do, like that's on you. And I really like that because when we moved to Florida and
we were looking for a church, like we went to a lot of churches and they were really
like pressing us to give because, you know, they knew Phil played football, you know,
so they like, oh, okay, big, big money.
And then they walk in.
Okay.
So now they started to talk preaching about giving. Oh baby, them, in here. I need something for five thousand.
I need 20 of the other sort of seed for 200.
And I need the rest of the other sort of seed for $100.
And all the seeds are sown.
And then they put in the program, they put in a program who put what like, oh,
they're the $10,000 donors.
You know, it was the bragging rights too,
to be in the pamphlet, you know,
that you donated so much or gave this much.
You know, so I feel like it was also a little bit of clout.
That's probably one of our first examples of clout
back in the day too, like going to church.
But I feel like you still have to be members
of whatever your religion is.
They still take up funds for everything. You know, even at the temple, we have to pay for services
and Shabbat dinners and people who are underprivileged and things like that. So it doesn't matter
with church, temple, mosque, cathedral.
So I just feel like from me growing up from when I was a child, church is totally
different. I don't consider a lot of these churches, churches. I feel like a lot of pastors
have taken advantage of what it is to serve and service the Lord and the community. I
feel like they have turned it into a business and a profitable business. Yeah, Marvin, he's a gospel singer.
He's worth four million dollars asking and shutting the doors like that.
I know this happened like you were going to sit down.
People do. People were they will be like, I got to pay the church.
I got to pay the church.
Yeah, yeah.
Some people will pay.
Some people will give they all and, and, and let
they rent gold and they know that.
So they're praying on those people on those vulnerable people who, you know,
they'll get they're praying in the wrong way.
Praying with a P R E Y instead of praying. Yeah. It's not, it'll get that. Praying in the wrong way. Praying with a P-R-E-Y instead of praying.
Yeah, it's not, it's not cool.
It's not cool.
Yeah, I didn't like that.
And I see it happen a lot and I-
Shut the doors though.
Oof.
He got aggressive with you.
He pulled the stunt.
So maybe he was trying to get all this attention.
Like we're talking about him now.
So maybe he's pulling like a stunt and he wanted to be blasted all over the internet right now.
So we could be talking about him.
This happened over, it happened over the summer.
It's just not coming.
It's just now being viral.
We circulated going viral. Yeah.
I wonder why it's just now coming out.
No telling. I don't know.
He put it out.
Oh.
He sent it to the blogs.
Can you say so?
I mean, people do that. Why is it just now coming out?
Like something, something is a little...
Am I a defender?
I don't know.

Then tune in to Locatora Radio, Season 10 today.
Okay.
I'm Diossa.
I'm Mala.
The host of Locatora Radio, a radio phonic novela.
Which is just a very extra way of saying a podcast.
We're launching this season with a mini series,
Totally Nostalgic, a four part series about the Latinos
who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s.
It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K, 2000s.
My favorite memory honestly was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV
3.
You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen, all the
girlies doing their things, all of the beauty reflected right back at us.
It was everything.
Tune in to Locatora Radio Season 10. Now that's what
I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine
Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows
with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic
left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people
are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the God damnest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I don't know, but it just, you won't catch me coming to a church that's forcing the congregation
to pay and you ain't leaving until.
And then for me also is the thing of like, if I don't see, like if I know like this church
is pulling in a lot of money and I don't see y'all actually doing stuff for the community, but you, a nice new car and a nice house and, you know,
where is the money going? Are you in the community? Are you helping these people that is in the
church running? You know what I mean?
Right.
It's not the same. It's definitely not the same.
Yeah. Well, do you all feel like you frequent church as much as you like?
Do you I mean, do you all go to church as much as you did growing up in it
because you were kind of not with I don't want to say forced, but you know,
when you have your families involved with the church, you had to go.
It just became a way of life.
Do you feel like that was a little too much in your childhood to where it trickles to
where you are now, where you might not go as much?
Like maybe had that little, that energy from childhood of having to go to now where you
can choose to go?
I don't think, you know, me, because like I said, my grandfather was a presiding elder.
We were PK grandkids.
I enjoyed going to church.
We went to Sunday school. I actually, some of my cousins learned how to read
just by going to Sunday school.
So I enjoyed it.
The morale was there.
It taught us how to be, you know, be very respectful,
get closer to God.
And I made the choice to get closer to God.
I actually spoke in a sermon.
I enjoyed church.
I enjoyed going as a child.
I felt like what changed me from going how I used to go so much as a child and a young adult was the
changes in the church. As I traveled, the church in the South is totally different from
when I moved up North or when I moved down South Florida. it wasn't the same. And I felt like it started slowly
evolving into a business. We didn't get the same, like that, you know, when you enter the church,
you can just feel it. Yes. I didn't have that same feeling from when I was in the churches from the
South. I felt like it was just, let me say what I need to say. And they just emphasize this on when it was time to gather
offerings. Not all churches, I do have some amazing churches. If I'm in Tampa, my number
one church is Love First. Shout out to Pastor Joe Cousins. He was on West St. John's. But
he, I feel like I was back when I was a little child in those church homes when I'm going to love her.
So it's not every church, but it's hard to find a good church.
It is.
It is hard to find.
You feel like you're where you need to be.
Yeah, I feel the same way.
I'm from Georgia and before that we lived in South Carolina.
So I'm used to like a very Southern Baptist church experience.
And I just really haven't gotten that pretty much since I left home. But I can't, I honestly,
truthfully cannot blame that on why I don't go to church as much as I used to. And I really
am convicted about it. Like I think about, you know, oh, I got like the family.
We need to go to church every week.
Every week is on my brain.
Like we need to go to church.
The intent is there.
Because like I know like I can watch it online.
I can watch it on TV.
I kind of get a little lax with it.
I'm like, OK, it's OK.
And I'm like, don't you know about you can just watch it on TV, you know?
And sometimes I do, but most times I don't check it out. You can just watch it on TV, you know, and sometimes I do but most times I don't so it's like
I really feel like that's the goal of mine this year is to get back to going to church more
Because I am I do come from a family where we believe in going to church and spending time with the Lord in his house
That's right. So, um, you know, even though church is different, it might look different, I haven't
done my part. I can't say a hundred percent that I've gone out and looked for whatever
it is I feel is missing, you know? But I think it's important, you know, regardless to have
like my children in the church because I, like Sherelle was saying, feel like I have
very distinct memories there. I feel like it's definitely shaped who I am, my relationship with the Lord.
And it's kept me, you know, so
I think it's important and I just need to do better.
Yeah, I agree with you, Ash.
It is very much becomes more convenient now just to go ahead and click a link.
You know, even if you're not in the same city with that same pastor
that you like or you like a sermon, you can go now on YouTube and grab a link. You know, even if you're not in the same city with that same pastor that you like, or you like a sermon,
you can go now on YouTube and grab a sermon that he missed,
and you can still get the word.
But during the comfort of your home,
I feel like COVID really made that happen,
you know, where it made the access
to your favorite pastor more accessible, which is great.
Like my mom lives here in Miami,
but she streams a pastor from
Chicago that she likes. And every Sunday morning, she's in the comfort of her home, watching
the sermon and taking her notes and then sending me this and that from the pastor. Like, it
was a good service today. So it's still there, rooted in it, like, because just being having
that religious anchor in your
spirit, you know, we can't get away from. So I think it's great for the children to
have some kind of sense of purpose and sense of peace where whatever your religion is that
you can fall back on and just have that comfort in your spirit and your soul. So whatever
way you can get to it, get to it, you know, whether it's online, going to a church,
or getting some notes, clicking on the link,
whatever the case may be, you know.
Like I want my kids to have like
the old school vacation Bible school experience.
Ooh.
Like that was fun.
That was an experience that I feel like, you know,
if you went there, like it was, right?
Yeah.
Going to the end of the week trip.
Yes.
You're working during the day, you know.
You can get notes.
You got your boyfriend that week during vacations.
Oh, no.
Like, it was a good time.
Like, these are experiences that I want for my kids.
You know what I mean?
Look at us, how we're blessed
and having nostalgia moments now,
just like tapping back into our childhood
because of that sense of community. Kids running around and you breaking out in these sessions and having good talks.
And I remember that because we used to have the little pamphlets and you learn your scripture
and then talk about it and you understood it better.
Even things like Easter Sunday speeches.
Yay!
Easter speech.
You know, Easter speech.
Like, you know, remember you had your little thing.
You had to memorize it.
You had to memorize it.
You better not mess up.
Don't forget the outfit, too.
Yes, the outfit.
Being in the choir.
Just, oh, crazed dance.
Oh, the crazed dance.
I still remember some of my crazed dance. Yeah. All, crazed dance. Oh, the crazed dance. I still remember some of my crazed dance.
All the crazed dancing.
Um, then when they had like, um, children's, not children's shirts, but like when the children
take you for a holiday.
You've Sunday service.
I used to be on Thursdays.
Yeah, Thursdays.
The children love the shirts.
I used to like to do the announcement, good morning ladies and gentlemen, brothers and
sisters, pastor so-and-so.
That was my thing.
I used to like that was my little part.
It felt special.
But yeah, I miss that.
You know, it's not just about, it's a lot of memories, a lot of things that obviously shaped all of us because we are
sitting here.
It just sucks.
I feel like my kids can't experience what we experience, but I'm truly grateful because
I still keep God in their lives.
We do pray together.
I pray together with my kids and it just shows like we come from a strong background of
You know just being close to God and putting that first. I was excited. My daughter got up Sunday
She called me. She was like mom. I just left church. Can you send me some money to go out to eat?
She had her two friends with her and I was just like
Yes, I'm proud of you. Yes. Yeah going to church
with them. I was just like, yes, I'm proud of you.
Yes. Yes. Going to church,
turn your own with your kids, going to church on your own.
I'm sure that amazing.
Right. Because right now I'm going to have to like, I wasn't a poor.
We had we had the van coming to pick us up.
I was like, girl, you're having the good life.
You got your car.
Drop. We used to have to wait on the van to come get us and take us back home.
Man.
Used to be there all day long.
And yes.
Oh, and then, you know, when they used to have the singing.
This, no, when they used to have the, like the anniversaries.
Oh yeah, the pastor's anniversary.
You used to go to church all day. And then when they said by other churches to come and sing, that's the thing is you have a single with the different music.
Not to sing off because they don't go to sleep either.
You better not fall asleep either. Yes.
All that church pitch.
I'm not sleeping.
It's church.
The pitch.
Oh, yeah.
Church pitch.
And oh, my grandma give me that lip.
She had her glasses.
And she rolled her eyes.
And that closed eye be still rolling.
You better get your act together.
I love that.
You're doing this in the names.
And the candy.
Y'all remember the little, they were shaped like peppermints, but they
taste like cinnamon.
Yeah.
No, it was the strawberry one.
The strawberry one.

The watermelon, the watermelon, strawberry or watermelon.
Yeah.
And then sometimes you get the lucky ones that had the chewy stuff in the middle.
Yeah. The part on the outside. Yeah, I don't outside
Why wait? Why did we all live the same way?
You know you got mad when you saw that it was like at the bottom stuck at the purse too cuz you like they
Can't even eat this one like anything
It's been sitting there a long time
But yeah the pitch I used to like when they would let us dismiss like the young the little kids they can dismiss and go
to like children's church, you know, out of, you know, now that they've done certain parts of the service,
because they can't sit still, you know, that's the way. My stomach will start to start rumbling.
So I will look forward to like brunch afterwards too. That was always good.
Yeah, we had Sunday dinner.
Well, Sunday dinner too, because you know, it was on the crock pot that's been simmering
and marinating real good.
And so when you come back, yeah, definitely want to eat afterwards.
What was y'all favorite old school church song?
It won.
Oh, His Eyes on the Sparrow.
Okay.
I had to think. Oh, his eyes on the sparrow. Okay.
I had a thing.
That's a good one too.
I'm going up in yonder, to be with my love.
Mine was your grace and mercy.
Okay.
Mine was there's a bomb in Gilead.
Remember that one?
That there is a bomb in Gilead. Yes.
That's not really old school, but that was like one of my favorites from back then.
Those was a good old days.
Y'all let us know what y'all favorite old school, Southern gospel song was and who had the best old school gospel song out of us three.
No, no, no, no.
I got to think about old, old. Let me think one thing before we go.
My answer was Your Grace and Mercy.
That's a good one.
You can pass for our audition.
Your grace and mercy.
I like I like, I like, um...
Well, it's not really old, but it's like, stand.
Stand.
Dun, dun, dun.
I love all these, I love all these good, good spiritual hymns.
Yeah.
It's that good music, it's that good music, yes.
Okay.
All right, guys, well...
Is it male?
I think it might be.
All right.
Who's got it?
I got it right here.
I mean, let me speak on it.
Going.
Yep.
Okay.
Hey, humble baddies.
This is from Kayla from Dallas, Texas. Okay. Hey, Kayla. Hey, humble baddies. This is from Kayla from Dallas, Texas.
OK. Hey, Kayla. Hey, Kayla.
Hey, humble baddies.
Love y'all so much.
And I need your help because this situation is messy.
I've been dating this guy for eight months and everything's been going great.
At first, I kept him to myself.
But about three months ago,
I finally introduced them to my family and friends.
All good, right?
Wrong.
This past weekend, he hit me with the,
we need to talk text.
Naturally, I started panicking, thinking the worst.
And guess what?
It kind of was the worst
because he used to date one of my close friends.
Now he swears it was not that serious.
But the gag is he met her three months ago and said nothing until now.
I feel like he should have told me the second he realized they knew each other.
So what do I do baddies?
Do I keep it moving and stay with him? Or is this a
red flag that means it's time to go? Would you feel betrayed or am I overreacting?
I think she's overreacting a little bit. Like to just let it go, I would first communicate and see
what's going on before. I just let it go. Just communicate and find out what happened.
for. I just let it go. Just communicate and find out what what happened.
I'm confused. So, OK, so she was date. They've been dating for eight months.
And then he just met her three months ago. So he was able.
So like you say like, hey, guys, you know, she never told her friend that she was dating this guy. And so now he she introduced him to everyone like, hey, y'all,
this my boo. You know, we've been rocking.
And then he was like, we need to talk because he actually really know Fred.
I mean, I feel like he's trying to be open, you know, and have a conversation.
So he's trying. It's not like, I don't feel like he's trying to be sneaky.
He probably had to like muster up his confidence to say something. So I don't
think, you know, that she needs to run or anything. I don't think it's a red flag. It might be
a yellow flag.
Like caution and slow it up.
Yeah.
Yeah. But you know, see how he moves after this. And then also like follow up, like ask
all the questions. Okay, so where did y'all meet? How did y'all meet? Blah, blah, blah.
Who else have you talked to?
Like who else, you know, who are you,
who else are you dating?
Like just have enough follow up questions
and make sure you get the answers
so you can move accordingly.
Not sure.
Yeah, I like that.
Yeah, cause it's a big step
when you start to meet the family and friends, obviously.
That means he is serious,
but then I'm glad he did communicate,
and you didn't find out way later, you know what I mean?
So I feel like that's a good thing that he did step up.
He was very calm, like, we need to talk,
which is scary for everybody.
It's not just, whenever you get that text, we need to talk.
Your heart starts to beat fast.
You start internalizing things.
So I feel like he definitely showed, like,
a great example of communication.
Like, look, we have talked before.
And I feel like, you know, sometimes it's tough to hear,
but you got to hear it. You have to understand it.
You know, because you don't want to now go be out another time
and then, like, you see this person and no one knew
except for those two.
That's when it becomes a red flag and very much shady.
So I'm glad he did say something that way they can move forward with it or she can say
how she feels about it or she can say that it bothers her or whatever the case may be.
But at least it's been it's on the table.
Yeah.
Good.
Well, that's a great answers.
What was her name again, Alexis?
Kayla.
Kayla.
Kayla from Dallas.
We hope you take our advice.
I think, you know, we gave some, you shouldn't give it up this quick.
Like communication, y'all talk it out.
It's not the end.
It's not, not a bad guy.
Yeah.
But yeah, good luck with that, Kayla.
