This is an I-Heart podcast.
Have you overlooked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought,
that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense?
That's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II
when they tricked the literary world with their intentionally bad poetry,
setting off a major scandal.
We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on hoax,
a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan, and me, Dana Schwartz.
Every episode, Hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history.
Listen to Hoax on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The Stuff You Should Know guys have made their own summer playlist of their must listen podcasts on movies.
It's me, Josh, and I'd like to welcome you to the Stuff You Should Know Summer movie playlist.
What Screamed Summer?
More than a nice, darkened, air-conditioned theater, and a great movie playing right in front of you.
Episodes on James Bond, special effects, stunt men and women, disaster films, even movies that change filmmaking, and many more.
Listen to the stuff you should know summer movie playlist on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, a different type of podcast.
You, the listener, ask the questions.
Did George Washington really cut down a cherry?
Were JFK and Maryland Monroe having an affair?
And I find the answers.
I'm so glad you asked me this question.
This is such a ridiculous story.
You can listen to American History Hotline on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up, guys?
Welcome to the Augusta Papa podcast, the go-to spot for everything, Musica Mexicana.
We're proud Mexican-Americans who live and breathe this music.
We started this podcast to share and discuss our views of Musica Mexicana, whether you like to vibe to Pesso Pluma, Los Aligres del Barranco,
at El Camacho, or put Ivan Cornejo when you get it in fields, then this podcast is for you.
Well, actually, Pezzo was supposed to be on Chinito's album.
The song with Drake was supposed to be with Pesel.
Listen to Agustopah on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Hey there, it's Catherine.
Just a little note about the audio quality and the intro.
We had Chelsea calling in from a remote location.
So you may notice a little bit of a difference in the audio quality just for the intro.
We were back in studio for the recording of this episode.
just wanted to let you know, enjoy the episode.
Hi, Catherine.
Hi, Chelsea.
Hi, how's going?
How's it going, girl?
You know what?
It's going great.
I'm having an easy summer, so that's pretty good.
How about you?
What are you up to?
Well, I'm dealing.
My foot is getting better each day.
I'm now back in a sneaker.
And on Monday, they x-rayed my foot to make sure it's all healed.
And then I can start working out again.
You know how I love that.
Back to Ben Bruno.
Yeah, back to Ben Bruno. He calls me, he texts me every day going, how are you? How are you? And I'm like, just fucking shut up. I'll see you when I see you. But I got a massive CO2 laser on my face also, which my face feels like somebody took sandpaper to it. Like, it still feels that way. And it's been like a week and a half. So I'm hoping that starts to calm down. And my swollen's almost all gone, but I still am swollen from that. You should have seen the day that I took pictures and then I deleted them all for my
fun because I'm like, oh, God, this is going to end up in some sort of Jeffrey Epstein story.
Yeah, you don't need that going wide.
Exactly.
Have you been in your, what's the chamber called?
Have you been here?
Oh, yeah, hyperbaric every day.
I'm in my hyperbaric.
I'm staying at my friend Kat's house until my house's new finish date is August 22nd, which
I won't even be here for.
So that works out perfectly.
Great.
As usual, I'm taking my span.
I'm taking advantage of all this time.
Yesterday, I finished a fucking puzzle.
I did an actual puzzle.
I posted it on Instagram because I don't think I've ever done a puzzle in my life and completed it.
It's kind of nice.
Is it?
I know.
It's not, I guess it is.
I mean, it's not fun.
I like activities that are fun.
And that wasn't fun.
That was just like, oh, my God, I'm so bored.
I've read three books.
Oh, you know what I wanted to mention when we were doing our book roundup?
I totally forgot.
Right, exactly.
We did a book roundup episode for everybody.
It's a minisode.
And so that'll come out next Friday, August 8th.
I read a fucking awesome book, and it's called Red Notice by Bill Browder, who's like financial guy that invested in Russia after the, after they got rid of communism, so to speak, and then they public, everything went public, like all their government agencies went public. And so he went in and saw a huge opportunity for investment. And it's all about how corrupt and crazy Russia is. People die. And this is like a venture capitalist kind of investment banker guy, not a VC.
more of a banker, like investment guy, but made billions of dollars in Russia. And then they wanted him
out. And then they realized that he was kind of like working the system, but legally. And it's all about,
it's a fascinating read. And I forgot to mention that. I was thinking of that book. That if you're like
into that kind of thing, which I'm into, I send it to my Russian nephew so he could stop defending Russian.
Perfect. Perfect. So it works in the family too. Yeah. Excellent. I mean, obviously I've sent you like 25
books to read for the podcast. So, I know, so many. But our guest is more to my favorite people,
you guys. She opens for me in Vegas. She's opening for me again this August 30th. My next gig in
Vegas, my next night of the Cosmo was August 30th. So she'll be my opener. If you haven't seen
her perform, you need to. She's hilarious. Also, I added a second show in West Hampton. So I'm doing
few nights in West Hampton in August, August 21st, which is sold out, and then August 22nd.
Yes, so please welcome a comedian, hopefully a new podcaster.
She's had her own radio show.
She is one hot fucking mess.
Yamanika Saunders.
You're still sweating from last night.
You were sweating last night, too.
Are you going through pari menopause?
Listen, bitch, I went the wrong way on a train.
Well, whose fucking fault is that?
Yours.
I know.
You don't know how to get on a fucking train?
No.
You are, okay.
Yeah.
Yomeneka just walked in.
and she smells like marijuana, as usual.
I have a video from us last night.
I'm going to take her jacket?
I'll take it right.
Yeah, I can just put it on this shit on the ground.
Yeah, just throw all her stuff on the floor, please.
Right here is perfect.
I just hit a little bit of something before I came up here.
Don't do this.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Here she comes.
One of your boobs is on the other side.
What's going on?
What happened after I left last night?
Okay, first of all, Yamanika Saunders is on the podcast today.
She's our very, very special guest.
I might have to take this off.
It's hard.
It's hard.
Oh, God.
Catherine, have you met Yama yet?
I have not.
Only through her Instagram lives.
Hold on a second.
One second.
Getting undressed.
It's hot in here.
What?
Yes, this outfit.
Yes, please.
Okay.
Hi, Yamanika.
Sit down.
Please.
Let's go.
Let's go.
You have lipstick on your teeth.
Do you want to go like that?
I don't care.
I don't give a fuck anymore.
Okay.
Well, I'm trying to help you.
Yeah, you concur.
Okay, hello everybody, welcome to my show
Hi, I'm Anika
Hi, my love, you're so cute
Oh, thank you
And porcelain skin, this is a type of white I like
Why can't you get to that type of porcelain?
You don't like my... First of all, you have fucking
lipstick all over your face and your teeth
Yeah, look at yourself
Let me see, I see you. Smile. This is you, you
self-centered bitch.
Here, yeah
Okay, let me recap what happened last night
We went to dinner.
It was supposed to be an innocent dinner.
It was an innocent dinner until you came and you messed everything up.
I was completely sane and sober before you showed up.
And then two minutes after you arrived, I was like, oh, wait, did this bitch put some acid in my back?
No, I didn't bring any drugs.
I didn't have any drugs.
She brought two Australian lesbians.
One is a lesbian, I think.
I don't know the other one is a lesbian.
Baby, no, no, no, no.
Definitely.
If she ain't a lesbian, she needs to talk to somebody.
Right, no, no, no.
Because I don't want to hear the lesbians.
Oh, what do you mean?
We don't know how to dress.
I think you should be talking about a stylist when you're in a fucking tankini right now.
Listen, this is because I'm 46 years old and a grown onezy.
It's perimenopause.
I'm hot and I'm cold.
So the part of me that's cold got tights on.
Sorry that her voice is going in and out.
She's standing up and demonstrating her outfit.
You don't think they know what standing up sound like, you know?
I have to explain to our listeners.
You over here.
At eye heart, you ain't got the microphones
to pick up motherfuckers when they go all over the place?
You need to talk to the budgeting people.
Did you tell them you're white
or is that currency up now?
No, they know, they know.
The next four years, everybody black.
Welcome to the club, Whitey.
Yama, whenever I complain about anything political,
she's like, bitches, this is on fucking you.
And you are you and your fucking white bitch friends
who, I mean, I didn't vote for Donald Trump, obviously,
but a lot of white women did.
You know the thing about it.
You're not out of it.
No, no, no, yes, you are because, no, no, you're not, but you are.
Let me tell you why.
Chelsea, for some reason, Chelsea definitely the white woman to get it, but then she hang
around a flock of white bitches that don't.
So if I tell her she ain't shit, I want her to tell it to the other white bitches
that's around her that they ain't shit because she ain't shit so that they become shit
because now I keep telling her that they ain't shit through her.
First of all, the white bitches I hang out with are all on the same team as I am.
What team is that?
What do you mean?
We're on the same team.
We're not on fucking Donald Trump's team
We're on the
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, the women I hang out with
I don't think they're on Donald Trump team
I do think that they white as hell
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so team, all of that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but a lot of white people can't help being white
I mean, most of us can't help being white.
I don't know, have you tried?
Yeah, black men are trying to help white women every day
bring on more mochalato children
So go talk to a black man
Have you talked to your black senator lately
And asked him where I have a black senator?
Do you?
I don't.
Do you, are you sure?
I know.
I don't have a black senator.
Who can somebody?
I hope this senator is black and that you don't know it.
I don't have a black senator in the state of California.
I do not have a black senator.
I'm Maryland?
Are you talking about?
What are you fucking talking about?
She's from Maryland, actually.
Anyway, let me just.
Maryland, where they sent that motherfucker back to El Salvador,
that ain't even from a motherfucker, Al Salvador.
I can't talk about that.
When I tell you white men doing whatever fuck, they want to,
how the fuck do you send a motherfucker who's not even Al Salvadorian
to Al Salvador
and their motherfuckers from Maryland.
How are we doing this?
Hello, white people.
Is this thing on?
Is this what you voted for?
When y'all thought niggas was going to be the one down there
suffering the most and look at you.
Huh?
Look at you.
Now you's a nigger too.
That's my new, my current special is called White Nigger.
You can get it on YouTube.
It is perfect for this time
because everything that I talk about in my special white nigger
is happening right now.
and if you are a white nigger, go listen to it.
And I'm telling you right now,
the second part is about white bitches.
White women take responsibility
for the shit that you did.
Shut the fuck up and bend over now, bitch,
because it's handsmaid's tail, right?
It's a handsmaid's tail.
I never watched one fucking episode of that thing,
but by the cover, I can tell you
that white women going to look like that shit
by next Tuesday at 5.30.
Okay, bitch?
Welcome to the club.
And I'm a big black bitch with big,
greasy titties and I'm gonna go straight in that kitchen honey
and I'm gonna make some flapjacks
and I'm telling me and I'm gonna get listen
me right I'm going in there
Chelsea going in there too
you know if I gotta work underneath the white woman
I need Chelsea we gonna have some fun
you know what I'm saying at night when they tell all the slaves
go to sleep and then Chelsea say get underneath my bed
I'm gonna put you in a little drawer here
and then I'm gonna go in there hopefully I can fit
you know I'm heavy set and then when master go to sleep
she's gonna open the drawer and then we're gonna have like a little
American girl dog
I don't refer to me as Massa.
Okay, I don't fucking appreciate.
No, no, no, no, bitch.
I said Massa.
You got a Massa, too, bitch.
Okay, I understand.
Do you?
Do you?
No, I want people to understand.
Sweet low, sweet cherry.
You're going to be out there picking that cotton?
Anyway, this is Yamanika.
She has a special out on YouTube that I would encourage every single person to watch because it's very women.
I know you, like a lot of us are Democrats and we vote for the right things, but
I think what I've learned from all of my black sisters
is how disappointed they are in constantly showing up
and showing up for election after election,
fighting the good fight, fighting the good fight.
And yet half of the white women in this country
don't seem to show up.
They don't seem to.
And then they vote for somebody like this fucking asshole.
And now we're living in this hell,
which unveils a new hell every single day.
So it's a great learning and teaching special
for all of us who are not as a,
enlightened as we want to be about actually the
dynamic between people of color and women
of color and what they have done for this country
versus what white women
have done for this country. Wow, is that
beautiful? It's every now and then you really
get it. Let's talk about
what happened last night. I can't stand it and I like
her. I know. You love me and you can't have
there's nothing you can fucking do about it. There's nothing.
You're in love with me actually.
No, no, no. You see me? You get gougly
eyes. You see me and you put your hands down my pants yesterday.
Don't remember when it was warm, right? No, I was
about that. You loved it.
You loved it. You loved it. Your hands
were on my warm vagina. No, they
weren't on your vagina. Are white women's
vagina's warm? It depends.
I mean, yeah, usually. They're not cold.
Put your hand down there and feel. They're not cold.
I mean, vaginas aren't typically cold.
My was hot. Yeah. You're in hot box.
You're horny. You're horny. And she still thinks she's having
a baby. I'm trying to convince her that that's not the right move.
In this world, you want to bring... But think about it,
but think about it. But think about it. Is that a nice thing to do to a
baby? You know what? I'm going to say this.
You know what?
Here's another teaching moment through babies.
When you were talking about how black women feel, right,
about how white women continuously don't show up the way they ask us to show up for them, right?
Exactly, yes.
Here's the real reality.
Nobody, because people are like, well, it's my, you know, I'm thinking about myself, my family.
Nobody has a problem, right, with white women going, hey, I like to have a great life.
Yeah, I'd like to vote for things that are in my interest.
That's totally fine.
The problem is when the things that are in your interests,
interests and that are going to help you are going to disenfranchise and disadvantage somebody else
and you still vote for it, that's what makes you a catch you next Tuesday, right?
On Wednesday, because it ain't Wednesday, right?
Or it's a Thursday?
Still a cunt.
So the reality is do what you want, be who you want.
But think about the repercussions of what your space and taking up space in the world
looks like for everybody else.
So in terms of wanting a child, yeah, I do think that is very selfish.
me, right? I'm 46.
Well, I just want to say,
just to be aware, I am 46.
By the time I'm ready, I told you say maybe 48,
now I moved it to 50. You know, I never know when I'm ready.
I've come from a family that...
Definitely not ready now. I just want to put that out there.
No, not. Okay, I've traveled with you. I've been
on there. You are not ready to have a baby.
So, okay, you're a...
Excellent. You're a giant baby, okay?
You can't show up anywhere
on time without fucking things hanging out of your
bags, without fucking wigs and
the hair. I mean, you don't even know what the
fuck is going to happen. Sometimes we have to
drop her off on the, we pick her up and she's on the side
of the road, like a streetwalker.
The sad part is that's true.
Listen, I,
in terms of the baby,
I want the baby.
But I do, I am thinking realistically,
like, also with as
older as I am, you know, no
disrespect that women can have babies, you know.
But, you know, life
expectancy, right, for the child,
right? It's like my kid, I'm going to see them to the 25 maybe, 26, you know.
So I don't know. It is scary.
And also your schedule, your stand-up, you're out every night.
You're doing stand-up all the time.
Well, no, I could see my kid into 30 at this point, right?
46. It depends how long, yeah, I mean.
34, 35, maybe, you know.
Okay, anyway, we'll put a pin in the baby thing.
You're not going to put you, you trying to pop the bubble on that.
I don't think I'm going to work hard to prevent it from happening.
I'm going to try to work hard to convince you not to have a baby.
I told you with your co-mother the baby.
I think I will, well, I will end up co-mothering the baby.
And that's also why I don't want you to have one.
Because I don't have the fucking bandwidth, okay?
Last night, I went to dinner.
Where were we?
Went to Harlem.
Yeah, we went to the Apollo.
We were in the Apollo, inside the Apollo.
Was not the Apollo?
Yeah, it was.
But they've, it's kind of gutted out now.
But it's also a hotel.
It's like a whole bunch of stuff going on there.
I thought they still have the theater at the Apollo.
They do.
Oh.
Yeah, but then there's like another.
But where we went was the Victoria inside, restaurant.
That was nice.
That was nice.
That's chef.
He was amazing.
I had grilled oysters, my favorite.
I had two orders of grilled oysters.
That's how fucking good they were.
She was trying to have sex with me.
And I said, take it easy on those oysters.
I know how you get.
Yeah.
Anyway, I showed up with some friends, two lesbians,
and then another friend of mine,
another homosexual friend of mine.
Right, no dick for me.
You always come with, nothing for me.
Well, listen.
I want a few pieces of dick.
My driver, I have a driver.
No, don't do that.
Well, no, I'm going to.
I'm going to, because you was sexually assaulted.
I was not. Don't do that.
Okay, my driver, Rafa.
I love him.
Okay, yes.
He, don't do that.
Last night, Rafa said, hey, can someone bring me a coffee outside?
Because he was outside.
Guess what?
And Yaya came over and said, don't let Yama bring him the coffee because she'll sexually, she'll hit on him.
I said, I know.
We've already been through this.
The man is married.
Rafa is scared of Yama.
Yes, he is married.
No, he loves you.
No, I love him.
I would never do that.
But no, no, no, no.
You see, the thing is this is.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'm not done with the story.
I'm not done.
Sexual harassment is being nice.
Remember who's talking, Kelsey?
Everywhere we go.
Oh, she's being nice.
He must want to fuck him.
Secular harassment.
Everywhere we go, wherever we go.
And we've been on the road together many times.
She hits on either the security guard, the driver.
The guy, remember from Houston?
Yeah, I got the picture.
I look at that every now.
No, I got the picture with him.
I know, but I took a picture with him.
No, you sent me the picture of you and him together like a bitch,
but I still use it to masturbate.
She was hitting
So Rafa one night
I just cropped Chelsea out of it
Sometimes I don't have time to crop her out
You know I'm ready to go
Rafa
Who is a married man
And it has a family
She
He drove Yama home one night
When we were out
Up to shenanigans in New York City
He dropped me off at my hotel
And then he dropped Yama off
And I said Rafa
If she makes you uncomfortable
It's okay to be firm with her
You know you're a married man
And the next morning
when I saw him. He was trying to be a gentleman
about it, but he said she's very aggressive.
He said she's very aggressive.
So she was pressuring my driver to fornicate
with her. No, I was not. But I've seen you
do it to almost any... Yeah, but once I found out of, you know I'll be bringing up
the home. What about in New Orleans? Remember at the
restaurant with Amy? We went to New Orleans.
Oh, yeah. And the waiter?
Oh, you guys gave him my phone number.
Amy, Amy Schumer gave him your phone number. She did. That was nice of her.
And did you hear from him?
Wait.
Okay, wait. Stay on track.
Stay on track.
You stay on track.
Okay, so then we go to dinner last night.
And then she has like three friends there, two guys there, right?
Three, how many people were we?
It just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
Everywhere I turned, somebody was there.
Yes.
And then I thought these two people were with you guys and they weren't.
So I just added them to our group.
These two random
One was a French woman
And this other woman
Who was, she was funny
So, I mean, she deserved to be
No, no, no, no, I knew her
Oh, you did?
Because Yaya was like,
Who the fuck are these two people?
Oh, they were at the house
Yeah, they came to the house
No, no, no, no, no, that's my friend's wife
Oh, okay, great, great, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no,
I knew her, the French woman we didn't know
No, she's Argentinian
Okay
Yeah, and we didn't know her, but she wanted to
Smoking, so I thought she was French
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she had to get the cigarettes
from France though because of the tariffs
But so we go back to
We go back to Yama's house
and we're smoking weed and whatever else.
But Yama decides to disrobe.
There's about 10 of us over there.
I took my shirt off.
I'm in perimenopause.
It's hot.
Okay.
Well, we have to get you estrogen and progesterone.
Please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nobody in my apartment wanted my vagina,
not even the lesbians.
So that's why it was okay for me to take my shirt off.
Yeah, but yeah, yeah.
I have a video that I'm probably going to post.
Post it.
No, no, no.
Make sure you're AI my stomach down
because I thought I was a lot thinner than that.
Do me a feeling.
You want to go with me to talk to my drug guy after this?
About what?
Do we go over his house and smoke out and have some drugs?
I can't.
I have to go get a mammogram.
Oh, let me go with you, get a mammogram.
You want to get a mammogram with me?
Can you add me?
I don't think that's how it works, but I would love to try.
Yeah, let's try it.
You can't pull no strings with your name?
I mean, I could, but this isn't my regular hospital.
Were you just going around putting your titties in other hospitals?
I don't understand.
I don't understand.
What do you mean?
Because I just found something in my shoulder and I just want to make sure I get an ultrasound.
Not a love for anything.
No, no.
You ain't got time to be having nothing, bitch.
I got to ride your coattels.
I know, I know.
I know.
I want you.
You better get your name on the prayer list, bitch.
You better ask the Lordy, remove it.
It's not anything serious, I'm sure.
It's actually gone now.
I just want to know.
Is it? Yeah, I'll yell it out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
You don't even on mammogram with me, bitch.
I'll cut it all.
But, yeah, I mean, you could probably come with me and squeeze your way in.
I mean, do you have a-in-wave-old.
Yeah.
Have you ever, have you had a man-mgram recently?
You have one every year.
You know that, right?
Yeah.
No, I've had, I'm five years.
I can't even imagine what you must go through.
I've gotten the same lady three times and she remembers my breasts.
Yeah, well, they're hard to forget.
I mean, they're massive.
But I didn't know if I was like, I didn't, I don't want to ask the woman.
I was like, you know, it's inappropriate, right?
To be like, are you gay?
Yeah, it is inappropriate to say that.
I mean, but I'm only like, I wanted to know because like maybe she, I was turning her on.
Uh-huh.
But what if I asked her and she wasn't gay, it's like, did I look like I'm harassing her?
So then we were supposed to go dancing.
last night.
We were going to go to somebody
nowhere.
We were going to go dancing.
But what happened when we got back to Yamanicas
was that we ended up staying there for about
an hour and everyone
was so stoned. I was stoned.
That was great. We had so many joints and rotation.
I know. It was really fun. It was really fun.
But at a certain point, you know, I check
out. And that was at around 11 o'clock.
I was like, it's time to go home. So I didn't go
dancing. Did you go dancing?
No, but I went to Sherry's after.
Oh, you did? And we played
spades. Sherry Shepherd. Yeah.
At her house?
Or did you go back to the, okay.
Yeah, her house.
And then I went home.
And then, you know, some of my friends got high and somebody had to save my house tonight.
Yes, last night.
Oh, really?
A man?
But, yeah.
Did you have sex?
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
She has two cats at her house.
Yeah, the cats have to know when a man's coming over.
They got to prepare.
She was looking for her cats for about 40 minutes when we got there.
And it's not that big of an apartment.
No, no, no, no.
My cats, I've trained them not to trust white people.
So more than one white person walking the door,
they got to go.
The cat came out from under the couch.
They was going somewhere looking for freedom.
The cat came out from under the couch
and was running, and I'm not exaggerating,
60 miles an hour into the kitchen.
I was like, what the fuck was that?
And she's like, oh, that's, what's his name?
Prior.
Prior, yeah.
He was, he said, no, no, no.
He, you know, he heard a lot of passive aggression
and not taking accountability in the apartment,
so he had to go and, you know,
make sure his NAA
CCP cat card was activated.
So with regard, moving back to the
political situation here, because
you have... Yeah, what's going on here?
How are you feeling these days about everything that's going on?
Just America kind of got what it deserved.
Is that where you are?
You know, everybody's like a big deal. Oh, like,
Kamala, did she say, I told you so?
Did she say, who cares? I hope she does say,
I told you so. I don't know why.
I would change my name to I told you so.
Harris. You see what I'm saying?
Fuck a Kamala. I told you so, Harris.
because the reality is those of us who had common sense knew that this was going to happen.
I think what we have to be very aware of is that the disease is not Donald Trump.
The disease is the people that were comfortable with somebody who has a spirit that we have watched,
present itself already in the presidency, to then go on board and say,
we do like the fact that he wants to get immigrants out, knowing that this was a place that was
stolen from the Native Americans and is built on immigrants. We do want him to put women back
in the times when they couldn't knowing how women have contributed to society. We do want
him to put blacks back in their place when they don't, knowing to the contributions that
black people have made not only to the soil here, but to the progression of this country. And it
doesn't advantage us at any point in time because we will never have the power that we need to
really be free in this country. They said with all of that and all of these people who are
serving the greater good, even though America never serves them, we still going to say
fuck you to them because we want it all. Only to realize that this country that has been
built on white supremacy and under the guise of racism being strong is really a society
about classism. So at the end of the day, once they have separated the largest group at the
bottom and divided us across boards, now it's easy to take over.
everything because you don't have the power of black people right now.
We are tired.
What do we, like, we, we've been dealing with this shit time and time again.
And no matter how many times we put ourselves in an environment with white people
and have white friends, we keep saying, this is our plight.
It's still kind of like, oh, you know, but now white people have to see the same shit.
Yeah.
And I don't have time to be holding white people's hands into oppression.
I don't have time.
Can you believe it?
Can you? But what is happening? I don't know. When we kept saying stop killing black people and black lives matter, people are like, oh, no, it's all lives. But we're not saying black lives because we don't think it's all lives. We're saying black lives because you don't know that black lives matter. But then you want to gaslight us into believing that we're trying to be this. You know, they want to be better. No, we just want to be a part of.
But I think a lot of white people do understand that. And there's a group of people that don't understand that. It's not.
All blanket.
You can't say that about black people or white people.
Let me, let me, let me, let me, let's, no, no, no, I will say that.
I will say that because what happens is when somebody tells you how they hurt, right,
we're talking in general, a person says how they hurt, you can either listen and go,
how can I help you not have that hurt, right?
And that's very centered around that person.
Or they can tell you how they're hurt and you can go, I didn't cause that hurt.
Uh-huh.
whether you cause it or not
has nothing to do
with the fact that this person is hurting
so when
we have a conversation
especially as a black woman
and I go
as a black woman
this is what's happening to me
and I'll have men go
well I don't know as a woman
and maybe certain things as a woman
white women can relate to
and then they appreciate
then there's parts that white women
will not relate to
because it's a problem as a black person
and then those things come together
as a black woman
if I say to a white woman
here's what's going on
and that white woman says
well you know it's not me
it's like okay bitch
it ain't you
but I still got this shit going on
so how am I going to help it
and we got to stop this
people being defensive
when somebody says
this is what's happening
because it doesn't matter
whether you support or whether you
not all white people
we can only say not all white people
if it was like Donald Trump
didn't become it was enough white people
And because it's enough white people
and we keep saying not all white people
we ain't focused on how many
fucking white people fucked up
how many fucking white women
fucked up. How many fucking people
of color? Fucked up
just because they thought they weren't the people
of color that were going to be disenfranchised
even further. So I'm not here
to give any grace to how anybody
feels about what I'm telling you about
what's fucking happening. Because when we
play this game, we have a dictator.
Hmm. Well said. I know she wants to eat my pussy after that. Look at her. And I saw a little nipple
coming out a little shirt. You bitch. We're going to take a break and we'll be right back
with Yamanika. In 1920, a magazine article announced something incredible. Two young girls
had photographed real fairies. But even more extraordinary than the magazine article's claim
was the identity of the man who wrote the article.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man who wrote Sherlock Holmes.
Yes, the man who invented literature's most brilliant detective
was fooled by two girls into thinking fairies were real.
How did they do it?
And why does it seem like so many smart people keep falling for outlandish tricks?
These are the questions we explore in hoax,
a new podcast from me, Dana Schwartz, the host of Noble Blood.
And me, Lizzie Logan, every episode will explore one of the most audacious and ambitious tricks in history, from the fake Shakespeare's to balloon boys, and try to answer the question of why we believe, what we believe.

Okay, we're back with Yamanika Saunders.
First of all, follow her on Instagram.
She gets banned a lot on Instagram.
I do.
She gets shadow.
Chelsea was like, I was trying to watch something.
Where are you?
I'm like, girl, they took me down again?
How do they do they do they tell you?
Why?
Yeah, because I started saying Cracker.
It's done.
You can say nigger all day long, but Cracker, white people are like,
oh, little sucker's hat?
Remember when white women were like, Karen is the N-word?
We're like, what, bitch?
I like being called a Cracker.
I'm not going to pretend I don't.
I fucking like it.
It's funny.
You know, I was in South Africa with my sister once.
We had this kind of guide in South Africa, and, you know, the racism is thick, thick there.
And we had this guide who was kind of, like, giving us his version.
He's a white man.
He was giving us his version of, like, what happened, the history of South Africa with the Dutch and the English and la, la, la, la.
And he, you know, his version was an, and after, I hated, I hated this guy from the minute I met him.
I just, my sister knew.
She's like, you've met my sister's, she was just like, oh, you're not, I didn't like the way he looked at it.
like his body. I didn't like his clothing. I was like, oh, this guy is...
And you shut down when you don't like it. You get quiet. Yeah, I don't like it. And I have no poker
face. I can't. And as soon as he walked away, my sister looked at me and she goes, that's,
he's the reason why black people came up with the word cracker.
Okay, we're going to take some callers. We're giving advice. Are you ready for the
Amanika? Yeah, she's ready. Are they ready? She's ready. Yeah. I don't think they are, but it's
Okay. Is anyone ready? So our first caller is Alicia. She says, Dear Chelsea, I'm a 39-year-old stay-at-home mom
to a 15-month-old son who is just a cutie. I like to microdose with my vape pen and enjoy gummies
regularly. I quit smoking it as it's the worst way to consume, but since I have been a cannabis
user my entire life, I feel like it's part of who I am. Lately, I've been contemplating whether
it's serving me. I go from thinking it's great, it's not a problem, I enjoy the creativity
it provides and I feel like I understand my son better when I'm high, but then I think about the fact
that I'm high all day long and figure it can't be that healthy. So when I try to wait until after
12 p.m. or after 5 p.m., I always negotiate with myself and end up vaping. The worst part is my husband
doesn't know I'm high all day. He just thinks I use it at night. He has an office studio in the
backyard, so he's home all day, but not inside. So it's very easy for me to hide it from him.
But I hate the fact that I'm even hiding it at all. I live in an area. I live in an area.
where it's easily accessible and not considered a big deal, but because I use it so frequently,
I often wake up feeling groggy or just meh and feel like I'm doing something wrong.
I know I'm not addicted because when I go out of town or I'm somewhere I can't bring my pen,
it's not a problem, but I'm having serious trouble only consuming it at night and staying sober during the day.
As a regular user yourself, what do you think about this?
Do I have a problem?
Alicia.
Hi, Alicia.
Hey, wow.
She's right there.
That's you a little, what you're a writer?
That was like a novel.
I was giving contact.
No, it was beautiful.
Thank you.
Because you know America's not doing well in literacy right now,
so we need to put you out there in the forefront.
I say smoke and keep smoking.
I would say if you're having feelings like that, though,
if you're having feelings about smoking,
if you can smoke and you're carefree about it
and you're not worried about it and overthinking about it,
then that's one thing.
But it sounds like you're definitely worried
about the amount that you're consuming
and that you're consuming it all day
and that you're not hiding it from your husband
and like everything you're saying sounds like
you just have a really bad habit
of smoking it too frequently.
The problem with smoking weed too much
is that it doesn't give you the buzz
that you get when you take breaks.
Like when you smoke it less frequently,
there's a better buzz.
Like if I get high all day long,
I become a little dead in the head.
That's not my idea of a good time.
I like to have a joint or smoke weed
at night.
There are days where I smoke.
all day long. If I'm skiing in Whistler and I have a, you know, a pipe and I'm like, okay,
I'll just take hits of it all day long. But over more, it's not a great habit all day long every
day. That's just not the best use of your time. You can always reward yourself in the evening.
You don't have to deprive yourself, but I would say to create a new habit around your son,
kind of respecting your relationship with your son. He doesn't need his mom to be high to be around
him. Not that that's what you're saying, but it's a little bit what you're saying.
And it's just better. I mean, it's not, better. It's not the right word. It's just, it creates an
environment of just to relax, like, fun. If he's like a little fussy, I'm just like,
not important, you know. So I just feel like it creates a positive environment, even though,
yeah, I do think that it's not a good idea to be high all day. The trouble I have is just
stopping through the day. Because once I start that first morning hit, then it's like a snowball effect.
Of course. I've been there. I know exactly what you're.
talking about. I would say to put your vapeens away until 6 o'clock at night. I would say to just
experiment with that, make it a rule for a week to just not smoke during the day. You can do it.
You have power within you to make that decision and to follow through. And just have it at night.
And I honestly think you're going to enjoy it more so at night. And you're going to start, the first
couple days are going to be difficult. But it's not going to be difficult after that. If you want to be
present for your son, I know you do. That's what we're talking. We're here to
talk about. If you want to be present for your son,
you don't have, this is, just so you
know, when you have a child, this is also
going to come up for you. You know, you're not going to be able to smoke
weed all day. Or you will be.
You'll just do whatever you want. No, I'm
just watching you in awe.
Like, the information you're giving
is amazing. Well, I think
that you, and I think that it's just a good
it's a good example to set for yourself
and for your child. And you
should also let your husband know,
hey, you know what? I'm only going to
smoke weed after 6 o'clock from now on. I've
decided that's what I'm going to do sometimes I pick up a pen during the day and just get through
the phase of that get through a phase of creating a new habit and once you are through that phase
once you go like 30 days of just doing it after 6 p.m. then every once in a while if you if there's a
moment that's so stressful during the day and you're like oh god I could use it you can use it
incrementally but you have to understand the slippery slope when we take one hit and you're home
all day with your kid you're going to take another hit and you're going to take another one right
It's up to you to re-habituate your life.
And you're going to be better for it.
You're going to be a better parent.
You're going to feel better about yourself.
The reason you're calling is because you're having misgivings about the way that you're using Canada.
Yeah, I think it's a problem.
So if you think that it is.
You don't look high.
Are you?
I'm not high right now.
Okay.
Great.
So I would just say that you don't have to like quit marijuana.
Just use it more sparingly and be more discerning about when you want to get high.
You know, it should be fun.
It should be a celebration.
When I smoke weed all day, I'm not laughing.
I'm not having the best time.
I eventually just want to go to sleep at 7.
It's not helpful to smoke weed all day, but it's really fun.
Like last night, I came, I had a joint, I can't travel with weed anymore because I'm so paranoid about getting pulled over or stopped at TSA because everyone knows how much I love drugs.
You know, it's very public.
So, and my whole new set is about everywhere I take drugs.
So I have to stop.
I've basically told on myself.
So I'm with you.
I totally understand and I get you.
But I would advise you to do that.
And you can do it.
You cannot smoke sweet until 6pm.
You're completely capable of doing that.
I have no doubt in my mind.
I think I need like a lockbox or something.
As I say, they have like little lock boxes you can get for your cell phone.
And you just like put them in there, set your little timer for whenever you want.
And like, are you going to go to the store and get more?
Probably not.
Like you're going to wait.
Yeah.
Except it's up to step in my street.
Damn it. So close. What, a weed store? Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, but I also think, like, have some accountability. Like, tell your husband so that you can be accountable. You know what I mean? Just say, hey, I'm going to give you my vape pen. I don't want it until 6 o'clock. Okay? Just hold it for me. Yeah. And I don't even think you need to tattle on yourself or what you have been doing. Just be like, hey, this has been tempting me. So, like, just keep it in your office until 6 or whatever. Yeah. Then you're a winner all the way around. Yeah. I would hate it if he saw me and I didn't realize and, like, it became
an issue because I don't want to lie to him or him to be like, what are you doing all day?
I think he would think I'm extremely irresponsible.
Yeah, but you're not.
You're not.
You're not.
And what he's doing?
Yeah, yeah.
Don't beat yourself up about it.
Just make a new habit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Thanks so much, ladies.
Thanks, Alicia.
Thanks for calling in.
Okay.
Bye.
I just want to make a note that Yomideka's advice was to continue to smoke weed with her baby.
So let's just make sure that's on record.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But what I'm saying is, to be fair, I was very impressed with you.
Thank you.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, the information you gave was so thoughtful.
She's good at this, Yamanika.
I know.
I need to start tuning in.
Why you don't never give me advice like this?
Because you don't fucking listen, first of all, to anything.
That's fair enough, that's true.
Remember?
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Okay.
Well, our next caller is Ali.
And Yamanika, you're an oldest sister, right?
Yes.
I have three.
half sisters. We share the same father. All right. This is a little bit about having to take care of
your sisters. So, Ali says, dear Chelsea, I've been a fan for longer than I care to admit because it will age us
both. Either way, I'm emailing because like you, I lost a brother at a young age and it's impacted my
family for years in different ways. I'm the youngest of four. My sister, who's 10 years older, has continually
made bad decisions in the years that have followed, and I've always been the one to hold things
together for our family. This past year was the final straw when she fell prey to a Bitcoin
scam and my parents bailed her out to keep her out of jail. Honestly, I'm tired of being the one
to keep shit together. I want to finally break this cycle and figure out how to move forward with
her while staying true to my own boundaries to protect myself and my kids. I promise I will
get a therapist due and not just rely on the show, but I would love your advice, Allie.
Hi, Ali.
So nice to see you. Hi. Nice to see you too. This is a nice to see you too. This is a
is our special guest Yamanika Saunders is here today. Hi, Ali. Hi. That's such a bummer that your sister is susceptible to all of that and that fell for a Bitcoin scheme and scam. So what are you thinking about doing? You want to cut her off? Or like, where are you right now? Like I said, in my email, I did seek a therapist and she has been truly wonderful, like has really helped me navigate the complex relationships, not only between my sister and my parents and kind of my brother.
too, as you know, like after losing a brother, everybody is affected in different ways. But yes,
I think she has really helped me in understanding how we all got to the point that we're at.
I don't think I'm ready to cut them all out, definitely still on the table. But at this point,
not really, because we don't really have a lot of family around here. My husband's from the UK.
So, like, they are our family. So it's complicated, as you know.
Yeah, I mean, I think that like, I don't know that there's a necessary. It's,
necessary to do anything in this moment.
Like, I think considering your family history and everything you're saying, like, most
parents are going to bail their kid out when that happens.
And just because she's made some bad decisions doesn't mean that she's worth cutting out
of your life.
You want to really build, and it sounds like you're already doing that with your therapist,
build an understanding and empathy and compassion for the fact that she's experiencing
life in a different way than you are, that she's not as responsible as you are.
You know, like we all have a lot of judgment when people don't act the way that we do, you
know certain people, I know I do. I have a real problem with judging others when I think
they make stupid decisions or they're not looking after themselves. But it's really not
your job to be policing everyone. Sometimes showing up with extra love and doubling down on
love and kindness helps people get out of ruts too. So there's another way, like an avenue to go
about it. I mean, what do you think? I've had a situation like that, not to get too much into my
own personal, you know, because it involves some of my family. I'll use this one example with my
mother. My mother, I can tell her a thousand times. I don't want her to do something because I don't
want it to hurt her, you know, disadvantage her. I know what the result of that's going to be,
and I'm trying to protect her. And my mother will still go, okay, let me still be involved with this
part and go, mom, you know, we know what's going. But, you know, God told me, and okay, so the boundary is
because watching you be frustrated by a situation with somebody that I know is
going to frustrate you or take advantage of you and you still are doing that,
I can't go on that emotional journey with you.
I'm going to be here as your daughter.
I love you.
But when this thing blows back on you like it's done time and time again,
I'm not your resource to have a conversation about how to get over that.
So if you're fine with me not being there for you at all,
while you handle that, continue to do what you do.
But any point in time that you expect me to be emotionally there and supportive with you,
my opinion has to also matter in the decisions that you're making.
No, and I think that makes perfect sense.
That's a healthy boundary, I think.
And like I said, I'm learning how to set those with everybody.
And I think, yeah, that definitely helps because it's like I've also been reading
Mel Robbins book about Let Them and it's so freaking hard.
Yes.
You seem like a very loving person.
And that's the thing about it, right?
When you're loving and you're, because you'll be surprised.
Reciprocity in people is not given, right?
Right.
Sometimes you'd be like, why would somebody do that?
I would never do that.
I would never do this to my parents.
I would never put, and then some people don't even think like that.
And if you're thinking for yourself emotionally and for your sister and all,
you're doing a lot of emotional thinking and what's left over for you,
then you still taking advantage of, right?
you feel discredited, you feel unheard, because you keep yelling to people to, no, preserve your
energy for you, you need to preserve some for you.
And your parents love you and they'll be there, but they also got another daughter they got
to fucking deal with.
And that's what they birth her, not you, you're her sister, you're not her mother and her father.
And I think that's fair.
I think where some of the complication comes in as my parents, even though I'm the youngest of
the four of us. They expect me to be the one to kind of help her learn right from wrong and
like to be the middle person because I've always been the middle person between my parents and my
sister. And when I cut myself out of that, they were kind of just, they were mad at me. And I was like,
what the hell? Like I'm doing the, I'm trying to set my own boundaries for myself and my kids.
And the fact that they didn't respect that really annoyed me too. So it's like, any time you set a
healthy boundary, like the people who benefited from your lack of boundaries are going to
going to be upset with that. And like, that's kind of okay. The other thing I will say is I love
this idea of like doubling down on love. And I'll also just say loving someone doesn't necessarily
mean that like you're the shield that keeps them from experiencing consequences. And it sounds
like some of the boundaries you're putting in place have maybe been active in that way.
Yes, absolutely. And I think that's part of it too is like we're all kind of figuring out new roles
and dynamics in the family
with me removing myself from that.
So navigating kind of where we go from here.
But that's also love too.
I want you to understand,
Allie, that's also love.
What I'm telling you is
there are people in the world
that will take advantage
of kindness and love.
You understand?
You don't have to stop loving.
You have to turn it off
or hold it.
It doesn't mean respect is not there.
Okay?
You understand?
Yep.
Because a lot of people,
not that I'm against what they're saying,
I'm not standing down on this doubling down on love.
Love yourself.
You can't love everybody.
And people will take advantage.
Once they've shown you they're taking advantage,
you've got to start making decisions
that are going to benefit your own mental capacity.
Trust me, I'm 46.
I'm perimenopausal.
I've been sweating here and there.
I don't give a fuck about nobody right now.
You understand?
It's taken all in me to give a fuck about you right now
because I'm perimenopausal.
By the way, she didn't know she didn't know she was perimenopause until I told her last night.
But I wish you well, Allie.
I see you have such a beautiful spirit.
Don't lose that, my love.
And healthy boundaries are the best because you're not only creating them,
you're demonstrating them for other people.
Like Catherine said, they're not going to like it in the beginning.
And like you admitted that your parents didn't like it.
But you are creating a different dynamic and a different paradigm with your family.
And that's more important.
Right.
And I think that's what I want to model for.
my kids, right? Like, I want, I want them to want to spend time with me as an adult. And I want
them to, whereas I don't have that with my family. It's kind of like an obligation sometimes.
And so I want to have better relationships overall. Yeah, well, you're doing the work to get there.
Yeah, for sure. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks for calling in. Yes. Hi, Alex. Good luck with perimenopause.
I'll be there in a few years. I'm sure. Thank you, my love. Thanks. Bye. I like that you're just going to go
around sweating, you know?
Like, in the meantime, like, what steps?
I don't know what to do.
I just found out about this.
You have, from me, I diagnosed you last night.
You have to go to your OBGYN.
You have one, right?
I have a vagina, of course.
Okay.
Do you think people don't have women,
there are women that don't have an OBGYN?
I don't know.
I mean, some people don't.
Yeah, some people just don't have doctors
that they go to regularly.
That's crazy.
I'm on my, my charts all the time.
My brother doesn't go to a doctor ever, ever.
They never, both of my brothers never go.
Maybe it's a male thing.
That's a man thing too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They don't think they need to check out anything.
What's next, Catherine?
Well, our next question, this one's just an email, not a caller.
It's a little bit tricky, but Yamanika, I listened to your conversation with T.S.
Madison about tricky trans questions, which I would really recommend to anyone.
It's a great conversation.
I learned so much.
Nice.
How do people listen to it?
It's on YouTube.
So just look up T.S. Madison and Yamanika Saunders and you will find it.
And if you want to try and spell Yomaniqa.
Anika, good luck.
Y-A-M-A-N-E-I-K-A.
Thank you.
Yes.
So I thought you'd be a perfect person for this question.
Okay.
Summer says...
Shout out the T-S, by the way.
I love T-S-Madison.
I mean, yes, the best.
And also shout out to Yamaha, which is how I pronounced your first name.
I know what you've heard of the first three months.
I can't stand you.
Well, the subject line is, my ex is a woman now.
Am I the asshole for blocking?
Dear Chelsea, last week, I looked at my blocked profiles and noticed that my ex was no longer on there.
I figured they had gotten off of social media.
I hadn't talked to them in almost a decade.
This morning I saw someone sent me a message request.
It was my ex, but I guess they're a trans woman now based on the name change and profile photos.
Sorry to message you out of the blue, but I woke up today with the memory that today might be your birthday.
If it is, then I hope you have a great day.
BTW, it's not my birthday.
I don't have fond members of this ex.
I lost my virginity to this person and not by consent.
It was my first serious relationship.
We went to high school together and dated in my first year of college.
Two years after we broke up, we connected again, and I met their wife and two daughters.
I liked his wife and daughters, but I got a reminder of why I did not talk to them, her,
and blocked them after a couple of interactions for the next decade.
Am I the asshole for wanting to keep blocking their profiles?
Summer.
I mean, they changed genders, not personality.
I mean, wants to dig a dick.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, without a dick.
I don't understand.
And if you lost your virginity to them without your consent and that's, and then you dated the person?
That's a trauma.
Sometimes that's a trauma response to an essay.
You become victimized and it's a weird.
So I feel bad for that.
And I understand the trauma.
What I'm telling you is I think this person may think that they're transphobic because they're doing this?
Because this has nothing to do with trans.
No, it has nothing to do with that.
That person's an asshole.
That's a personality, right?
that's a spirit thing.
You can't transition your spirit.
You understand?
You're born with a shitty spirit.
You're going to keep a shitty spirit
until you talk to somebody about your shitty spirit.
So keep the person blocked.
Yeah.
I agree.
And save yourself.
Yeah.
No, what?
Yeah.
Agreed.
Agreed.
And then also maybe like if you're not already in therapy,
like check some of that out
just so you can release some anger
and work through some of the stuff that happened
because that's serious stuff.
Okay, well, let's see.
Take a quick break, and we'll have a quickie to wrap up.
Okay, we'll be right back with Yamanika Saunders.
Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought,
that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense?
Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II.
When they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment,
publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry
under the name Earn Malley in an incident that caused a media firestorm and even a criminal
trial. The Earn Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates
poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies in the poetry in between on hoax,
a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan, and me, Dana Schwartz. Every episode, hoax explores an
audacious fraud or ruse from history, from forged artworks to the original fake news, to try and answer
why we believe.

American History is full of wise people.
What women said something like, you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is gory.
Those founding fathers were gossipy AF, and they love to cut each other down.
I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you
send us your questions about American history, and I find the answers, including the nuggets
of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that
ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is
for a dictator based on corruption. My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have
been harder to fake it than to do it. Listen to American History Hotline on the IHeart Radio app.

And we're back with Yamanika Saunders.
Do you want to, um...
When was the last time you had sex, by the way?
I wish you would ask me that.
I did. I just did.
You sent me a box.
Chelsea sent me...
Not even a box.
You know what a box is where you order.
a Christmas tree, right, from
Amazon, and they send you a large
box, they can't even break the shit up.
She sent me that size box
of vibrators,
dildos, and machines
that can lick your vagina
without your assistance.
And I, and one of them,
one was in a baggie,
don't even, and not even
like a bag, like, I'm talking about
a glad, like one of them,
yellow and blue makes green, you know,
all that shit. She sent me,
that and it was greasy
then she sent me the wheel
because I wanted to use the one with the licking
thing because I'd never had it before
she sent me the one that she
didn't even wipe it down
the wipe it down
the lube was so
stuck on there
it melted into the thing
I was it was you ever seen a mechanic
when he got from underneath the hood of a car
and all it like the
the transmission fluid dropped
down on his face and he had to open it
He looked like an ink whale.
It was like that.
I could not believe it.
What you do to your vagina, Chelsea, is insane.
But I do currently have three of them in rotation and the wand.
We saw them last night at her house.
And I have some out in the front room.
I can't get rid of them.
None of the vibrators that I sent you had been used by me.
I get lots of swag sent to my house.
I know you didn't send me a vibrator from another person that sent you a vibrator.
I told Carlos who works with me.
They use their vibrators.
to get all the vibrators out of the house
and to send them to Yamanika
because I know how horny you are.
I know how horny you.
I've been listening.
I hear you.
I see how you interact with men.
And you need like a constant penetration of some sort.
So as a gesture of friendship,
I said, you know who could really put these fucking vibrators to use?
The one that was used, I can't speak to
because I've never used any of those.
But I did have a friend who came from Whistler
who stayed at my house.
And when she saw my, I have a table
where people send all of their, you know,
when a celebrity comes out with a vibrator,
they send it to me or, you know, whoever, whatever brands.
And my friend came downstairs and she goes,
oh my God, you're never going to believe this vibrator,
whatever it was.
Like it was like a double whoopsie doodle,
like one in your asshole and one of your,
she goes, this is amazing, this is amazing.
She goes, you have to try this.
And I'm like, well, I'm not,
I'm not, no, all like, I let me finish.
I said, I am not going to use the vibrator that you used.
Are you fucking serious?
I looked at my friend.
I go, are you, you think I'm going to use your, by the way,
my friend was here going to medical appointments.
She was seeing a bevy of doctors to make sure that she wasn't diagnosed with something
very bad.
And during that time, I go, at what point during this week of medical appointments,
did you feel horny?
Like, that's what I couldn't understand.
So if there was a used one, my conjecture is that that was hers that she left in the spare
bedroom that was wrapped up probably by my housekeeper at my bell,
She didn't use it also because she also masturbates at the house sometimes I've been told.
And then she sent that to you.
And I'm sorry that you got to use vibrator, but I would encourage you to wash it and use it again.
You said, let me finish.
Like when you got finished, it was all going to make sense.
It was worse, the more I let you finish.
You mean to tell me, you let me, you sent me through the mail.
Can somebody Google if this is a hate crime?
And I want the post office to get involved.
I want you to not be able to send letters.
I want you to tell me, Chelsea, that you sent me the vibrator of a bitch who was in your crib
who was having current vaginal appointments with a doctor versus of a shit.
It was going on with her vagina.
No, no, not vaginal, not vaginal.
No, no, no, no.
She wasn't seeing about a vagina.
She was talking to doctors about a different condition that had nothing to do with her vagina.
What, what, any condition, any, I put that.
shit in my pussy, bitch. I know. I know you did. And you're going to do it again.
What's the last question, Catherine? Do we have a... We do. We do. Our last question comes from one of
our rare straight male listeners. Dear Chelsea, I recently got an invitation to my ex-girlfriend's
wedding. We dated for about a year and then had an amicable breakup. We remained friends after we
split up, but I feel at odds with going to the wedding because about six months into her
relationship with her now fiancee, we hooked up a few times. We remained.
and I don't know if she ever told him that.
They've been together for over three years now, and he seems great.
So I want to be supportive of her, but part of me feels guilty about being there.
Should I go or just blow it off?
Thanks, Zach.
That sounds like a straight man's question.
Sure it is.
Wow, we don't get a lot of straight men calling into this podcast.
First of all, I really appreciate that because being sensitive to all of those different
kind of nuances of what happened.
Yeah, I understand feeling weird about that.
And I probably would skip the wedding.
Here's my thing, if he's going to maintain a friendship with her
and he already has a friendship with her and him,
it is going to look weird that he's not at the wedding.
So, you know, he has to think about that as well.
I think he needs to address, like, what is his feelings for her, you know?
Because if you're still hooking up, what does she feel about this guy?
Why are they hooking up?
Well, that was before.
They've now been together for like two and a half years.
The first six months she said they were, he said that they've been hooking up.
But, Zach, I would say, yeah, I would skip.
the wedding. Because like the husband...
Don't skip his ex. Really?
I'm telling you, if he's...
If he knew that someone was there, that she
had fooled around with... He's friends with them.
That's what I'm saying. But the husband doesn't know
about them fooling around. Right. Probably.
But if... Okay, your ex,
y'all friends, we're all friends.
And we get married. And all of a sudden,
your ex, who's our friend, is not
at our wedding? Oh, y'all must have slept together then.
That's the first thing I would think
If my partner's ex
Who we're all friends with
Doesn't show up to our wedding
Okay, so go
No, because yeah
You just, no, you have to go to the wedding
What you need to do is
Get over that you fucked with her
And just move on
Because clearly I guess they're moving on
They get married
And just start a clean slate
Yeah, that's true
That's true
I'm just thinking of the husband
I'm thinking of the husband
Like how would you feel
to know that your girlfriend, your wife
is someone she was cheating on you with?
Is that the wedding?
No, I understand that, Chelsea.
What I'm saying is I don't know how if he's friends with them now,
because it's all about what the husband's going to think.
Is he ever going to tell him that they did that?
He's not going to tell them.
So why would you do anything?
You raise a better point, I guess.
I guess you could.
So, Zach, great.
I mean, one piece of advice and then a different piece of advice.
So problem solved.
Problem has been solved.
I love you, Chelsea.
I really do.
I wish I didn't.
So many ways you're problematic.
But, you know, I love you.
I just really do.
I love you too.
Okay, that's us for today.
Follow Yamanika on Instagram, you guys.
Please give her love on Instagram so that they stop fucking.
