Yo, yo, yo, thought warriors.
What is up?
Higher learning is on.
It is I, Van Lathan, Jr.
And it's me, Rachel and Lindsay.
Rachel, how's your week going?
Well, my week's going okay.
Going kind of fast.
But nothing, nothing really eventful in my world.
You?
Yeah.
So we're doing this over.
resume when we were supposed to be in the studio having the higher learning hang and meet up
today.
Right.
Which means there's got to be a reason why we couldn't all get together in person.
Mm-hmm.
Which means it finally happened to me.
It's not what happened, man?
I got COVID.
I have COVID.
as we speak.
I, um, I, I, I was feeling, I was feeling, the throat was feeling a little scratchy, you know.
That's how it starts.
Throw was feeling a little scratchy.
The, the throat is gone, you know?
The throat, the throat's feeling a little scratchy.
And then last night, it wasn't the one of those things to it was like, yo, it was coming
and going to this is a cold.
I was like, yo, man, do I have it?
and so I
I
Post made it a
test and it's so funny
because I post made it the test right
and the guy
who is delivering the test
who's like hey
I'm gonna leave it outside
and then I was like
nah man
just dial the shit and come on into the house
and drive now he was like now it's gonna be outside
I'm thinking
why does he not want to
deliver me my COVID test
and I
thought, hey, this guy knows
that if we go
out there and we
like I go, hey, he does a handoff
and he's exposed to himself.
I didn't even think about that.
And the fact you tried to put this
man in danger.
I did.
He was smart.
He left it.
He left and I went out there and I got it.
And so I'm, um,
how are you feeling?
I'm feeling
decent.
Okay.
At this point, I'm feeling like stuffy and congested and all of that stuff.
But not how did you, when you had it, how was it?
Oh, remember I called you?
And I was like, I'm trying to figure out if I can podcast.
And you were like, nigger, no.
You couldn't even talk.
It's literally what you said to me.
It was a progression for me.
My, I started off with the throat as well.
But by the end of the day, I had fever and body aches and every part of me hurt.
But I'm, but you look.
look good. You know, I would never know if you didn't tell me. So I'm glad, I'm glad that your
symptoms are mild. When you called me, though, that you had it, like, I don't know, it was,
it was such a shocking feeling. I'm at dinner. And you're like, I'm thinking, you know, you're like,
hey, I think we should tackle this, this time of tomorrow. Or I want this guest or so. Or you ran into
another ex of mine. I'm thinking it's something like that. And you're like, I got COVID.
The people let the tape with me.
Are you okay?
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
But no, I'm glad I'm glad that you found out in time before you put Thought Warriors, Trudy, myself, and the rest of Spotify employees in Jeopardy.
Yeah, a bunch of people to cut out there and got a bunch of guests.
So now the only thing I can think about is all the people that I exposed.
Sure.
It's so nuts
Those old people I expose
But it is a risk
But in your defense
It's a risk that we all take
Because it's out here
We're living with COVID
It's bound to happen
Somebody took a risk
Because they gave it to you
You know what I mean
Trying to figure out where I got it
Maybe the gym boxing
That's what I thought
I was thinking for you
Maybe the gym
Maybe on the plane
Coming back
Yeah
Maybe on the plane
I don't know
Wait
Are you riding on
with a mask on the planes?
Yeah, of course.
Mask and goggles.
I got these.
Check us out.
I wear these on the plane.
Why have we not talked about this before?
So.
Why?
So the COVID compliance,
the COVID compliance officer that works on hip-hop homicide was like,
hey,
a mask is not enough.
She was like, you.
She's like,
there's like there other people in the plane.
and they're not protecting you because they're not wearing masks.
So you need goggles as well to keep the droplets out of your eyes.
So she gave me these.
These are my James Worthies that I wear when I'm on the plane.
So, you know, I don't know if it works or not, but she gave it to me.
Well, I think you know the answer.
That it didn't.
I mean, you got COVID.
Yeah.
Well, don't you go ahead to take those off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just got two of the weirdest DMs ever.
One DM says,
Hey, I'm doing the podcast opening for secrets about celebrity relationships.
Could you give me any inside scoop of what you know?
At the same time, I got another one.
Hey, I was wondering if you could shed some light for us.
We were looking into Justin Bieber and Haley Baldwin's relationship
or wondering if you know any news or anything at all.
Our conversations will be strictly confidential.
And the name of this is exposing Haley Baldwin Bieber.
Oh, wow.
So I got two of these at the same time.
And it says at, I got another one that says,
four at Selena Gomez.
There's two people that one's trying to get me to give up.
I don't know information about like Hayley Ballwood and Bieber or anything like that.
I can't understand what's going on why people are coming at me like this.
I don't either.
But do you get people who ask for information like that?
Like, does that happen a lot because of your time at TMZ?
All the time.
Really?
Some stuff I know.
Some stuff I don't.
You know, if I do know something, I'm not telling y'all.
I'm not telling anyone.
Stop.
What?
Did you blow your nose in a t-shirt?
Yeah.
Man, you have COVID.
Can we get you some tissue and a trash can?
I got tissue.
But I blew my nose in that t-shirt because after a while of blowing my nose in the,
the
the tissue
it starts to make my nose
a little irritated
but that t-shirt
is just like
soft breathable
like material
and it's it's calming
and cooling to my nose
you got sick nose
you got sick nose
what is sick nose again
it's your term
what are you talking about
you created the term
my brain is fucked right now
oh this is fucked right now
It's going to be interesting podcast.
I'll be honest.
You're doing okay.
Take your time.
You're doing five.
You're doing five.
Donnie, are you, have you had COVID yet, Donnie?
Yeah, I've had it a couple of times.
Don't laugh at Don't.
Time feels I know, right?
You had it more than once?
How did you get it more than once?
Let's have COVID.
Let's talk COVID journeys now that I've joined the club.
Donnie,
when did you
you had it a couple times explained
so the first time I got it
I think it might have been because of traveling
this was in
around Christmas time of 2020
and
the second time
I really don't know how I got it
but I didn't well that's not true
I got it from my sister
she is a teacher
and she
tested positive
like a couple of days
after I was hanging out with her.
And around the time
that she told me she had tested positive,
I had just started feeling some symptoms.
So I just assumed
that I had it and quarantined
myself for a couple weeks until
my symptoms went down.
And yeah, those are my
COVID chronicles.
COVID chronicles.
Rachel, do you remember where you got it?
I either got it from the sound guide
extra or I got it more likely than not at the national championship game.
I was maskless.
I was in Indiana.
Nobody was wearing one.
I wanted to have a really good time and I did and I came home with the COVID and I was sick.
You were you were fucked up.
Not hospital but I had every symptom but yeah.
What was the worst day?
I would say the first three days.
When I landed, when I landed, I wasn't positive.
So I was masked up, but I kept moving around.
Right.
But by the afternoon, I mean, my body hurt to the touch.
But I actually went to the, not emergency room, but like urgent care.
I went to urgent care and I took a rapid.
And I took a PCR at the work lot.
I took a rapid at urgent care.
Rapid told me that I was negative.
And I had every single symptom.
See, this is going to give light to Trudy.
when she tells her story.
I told me I was negative.
I had to go to sleep and wake up the next morning
to find out I was positive from a PCR test.
So that makes me wonder how many other people
are walking around here with COVID
and have no idea because I was symptomatic
and still testing negative.
But the first three days were brutal
because I had a fever
and my fever wouldn't break for three days.
So I was just miserable.
Miserable.
Should I do the thermometer right now?
Should I see what my
You are doing the one under the tongue
And not the touch one right?
Yeah, hold on
Let me go get him out the wrong
Because the touch one
Does not work
Okay, hold on the wrong one
Van's gonna freak out
If he has a fever
You know that right
Lord fix it
I hope you don't
Like the fact that he just left
To go take his temperature
The fact that he left to go to this
What happened?
I just said the fact you left to go take your temperature
I'm afraid
If you have a fever, it's over.
What's over?
No, no.
I mean, like, I don't think you're going to be able to concentrate the rest of the podcast.
I got to see.
I got to know again.
Let's take dibs on what we think his fever is.
Do you normally run cold or hot?
Like, my normal temperature is in the 97s.
A little cold I normally run.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Let's see.
I'm going to say, guys, my guess is 98.4.
Trudy, Donnie?
99.5.
Trudy tried to make you sick.
I really don't know what your temperature is really supposed to be.
That would be what they call a low-grade fever, Trudy.
That's a low-grade fever.
I think he has a low-grade fever, for sure.
Donnie.
I'm going to 99.1, slightly lower than Trudies.
Clearly I'm the only one who cares about Van.
Van at this point because I'm trying to wish that he doesn't have a fever.
And y'all are over here trying to make him give him a new symptom.
We've been in realistic.
Mm-hmm.
No.
Oh, see, he's quick.
That's weird.
What was it?
It's 96.7.
Okay, put it under your mouth.
You're not, you're not, you're moving too much.
Okay, let me see.
Okay, don't move.
Put it really under there.
Whoa.
Okay, come on now.
Hey.
Let me see, right here?
Not in the middle, like under on the side.
Like, really get in there.
Yeah, yeah.
Also, I won.
I'm just, I was the closest.
All Trudy and Donnie try to make you all feverish.
It ain't over yet.
Trudy, tell your COVID journey since you alleged that you had one.
Yeah, I just, I forgot.
This was like when people started going.
again for real like people weren't like doing that lying oh it's just a couple people at the
crib like this is when everybody was outside again and dang I think it might have been coming
off of insecure fest if I'm not mistaken I yeah I felt sick but like sick in the sense I didn't
have a cough or anything like that but my body hurt and then I was taking um I took a rapid
test because I didn't have time away from a PCR and 97.6
You got that, Rachel.
I'm happy you don't have a fever.
You gave COVID to Jay Ellis,
because that's why you took a picture with him at the,
at the insecure fest.
Probably all your fault.
Oh, me?
Oh, wait, did he get COVID after there?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
But yeah, I was testing, and it just, it came back negative.
So I knew that the rapid test came back negative.
Then I think I maybe told you, Rachel,
and you told me about your situation.
So then I took a PCR.
That still came back negative.
But I was like, bro, I'm dying.
I'm over here fighting for my life and this ain't normal.
So I really don't know.
But I think I had COVID.
Honestly, you might have.
I hear a lot of people had to take three or four tests.
That's why I'm shocked.
Van, your test, your rapid test came back so quickly.
By the way, can I be honest with you?
I took an at-home rapid test.
And like it was like overwhelmed.
Like as soon as I took the test, the two lines popped up.
You probably have been symptomatic for a couple of days.
Like as soon as I took the two, as soon as I took the test, as soon as I took the two tests, the two lines popped up.
Like, by the way, I have been symptomatic, but it was just like a, well, like, when I came back here, I keep it so cold in here, I keep it cold in here.
I keep it cold in here.
Oh, oh, I keep it cold in here.
Uh, oh, I keep it cold in here.
Oh, oh, I'm so cold.
I'm so cold.
cold. I'm so cold. That's
a dope one right there. I'm not going to lie. I just popped in my
head. But so I
so so so
the medicine is kicking in y'all.
Kalika's like
she's concerned.
Kalika's concerned.
Kalika's like
Kulika's playing nurse in here. She's very upset.
She's like what the fuck is going on?
You don't tell Kalika we got an extra room.
I'll be honest with you. I am so
full of stuff.
that like the mutinex almost makes me feel like I'm not sick.
You know what I mean?
But I know exactly what you mean.
Last night was rough, bro.
I'm up in the middle of the night.
I'm watching the Empire Strikes back.
I watched all three Star Wars movies last night.
Oh my God.
I did.
Because I couldn't really sleep.
You know what I mean?
Like I couldn't really sleep.
I watched all three Star Wars movies last night.
Anyway.
But I keep it because of cold here.
I thought I just came back and the temperature changed up a little.
little bit and they gave me a little bit of a scratchy throat, but it just got progressively,
you know, until I'm like, oh, whatever, all right.
Big deal with a day.
We hope you feel better.
I hope so, too, you know.
Trudy, Donnie, thank you so much for sharing your COVID stories, Rachel.
We won't talk about somebody very important that you might have exposed.
We'll leave that as a secret.
Me?
Yeah.
I was like, who?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hell no, hell no.
All right, we're going to take a break.
We're going to come back with a big deal with today.

All right, you guys wanted me to talk about it.
I've seen it everywhere.
My moral fiber has come into question.
Not just on the land of the soulless jackals,
not just on Facebook, but out basically everywhere.
And my text, everyone.
People have been hanging.
Then, how could you hang out with such a dastardly, morally corrupt guys, Livingston, Allen,
aka DJ Academics?
There is a clip out, and we'll play the clip right now, and it's gone everywhere.
But there is a bigger conversation to be had around this.
clip.
A couple.
But we're going to play the clip right now.
Play it.
And to keep it real, if you think about it in the bigger
scheme of things, there's not much
difference between a 20 or a 17
or a 21 and a
17. Just kind of mean one's a minor
and one's not a minor. But I
will say, listen, I adopted this rule,
which I think it was fine. I said,
listen, man, as long as the chick got a college
ID, she's getting fucked. I don't care if she's
17. I don't care if she's 17.
and a half. I don't care if she just turned 17 and I'm 21, she's going to get this dick.
Uh, okay. Rachel has a look on the face. Out of context, Rachel, what do you think of that clip?
Did you say out of context? Yeah, just when you listen to it.
I think that he's a disgusting pervert.
I mean, there's no other way. If you're, if you're wanting me to not even, you're, if you're, if you're wanting me to not even
comment on his responses or anything, which I would, I'm going to be honest. I really am not going to
deter much from that thought. I think he's gross and disgusting and really not taking, really not
understanding, I'm assuming not understanding what he really is saying. The fact that his,
the fact that he's measuring this all by a college ID is extremely concerning. People have fake
IDs. People go to college very early. You know, like there's so many things to factor into that
and the fact that you have no, you don't want to be responsible in determining what someone's age is
or even caring what their age is is is extremely alarming. And I don't think that you can justify
this in any way. It's gross. It's not to be justified. It's only to be discussed.
So. Well, he justified it.
Well, he, I think he explained it.
So this is, so.
But didn't take it back is my point.
No, I don't think he took it back because I think.
He definitely didn't.
He addressed it.
Right.
So for me, number one, at first I didn't think it was him because it doesn't.
Yeah.
That was, okay.
You were so loyal.
No, I didn't think it was him because it doesn't really sound like him.
It sounds like someone doing an impression of him.
So I remember I hit him up and I was like, say, bro, is that you on that table?
He was like, yeah, man.
And then he called.
I am not going to a tip to tell you what he said.
Donnie, do we have a breakout of academics
sort of explaining what it was that he was saying
and the context in which he said that some years ago?
Okay, let's play that for people right now.
So this is the context.
And this is what's important.
At no point did I ever say that I fuck somebody under 17
or under 18?
I was given an example of how, and I want to give you out this example before I played this whole clip.
I'm going to play the full clip.
I said in college people, I said 17 becomes a great area because people don't ask for IDs.
There's some smart or sometimes people start kindergarten early and they'll get to college when they're about to turn 18, but they'll turn 18 in January and they get there in September.
When somebody's in college and just like I'd say with high school,
school when somebody's in high school if a nigger was in high school i know somebody and maybe i shouldn't
say that but i'm just going to be real i know somebody who he had just turned 18 and he was dating he was dating
like someone in a lesser class that this is high school there's people who are who end up being 18 in high
school i was talking about being in an institution so college or high school where the ages are or a little bit
out of what is actually acceptable, right?
And this is what I have to tell y'all, right?
Somebody just said, four months of the college year,
some people are 17.
It depends on when you're born.
You know, that's all I was saying.
When people go to college, and you'll hear in my full clip,
people do not check IDs.
No one in college, and if I ever been to college,
no one says, hey, how old are you?
I've been to college.
they're usually under the assumption.
By the way, if you're in college, at least if you're doing four years, you're probably not over 21.
Okay.
It's tough to listen to him, explain something.
Stumbles over it.
Okay.
So when I spoke to Act, Ack said that this was, first of all, there are a couple of things that are misconceptions.
Number one, there's a misconception that he was saying this right now.
Right now he's 31.
And that he was saying, hey, if a girl has a college ID,
I'd smash.
He,
that,
it wasn't something
he was saying
currently.
This was about,
he says 10 years ago
whenever Kylie Jenner
and,
and,
and,
and Tygo were going
through their whole thing
and he was,
for some reason,
thinking that he
had to play devil's advocate
for Tyca.
I worked at TMZ.
Tiger was 24,
or,
24, 23.
She was 16, 17,
it was dead wrong.
Anyway,
you slice it up.
All right?
Now, a lot of people start saying, Van, is it der wrong morally or dare wrong legally?
If you ask me that question, I look at you sideways.
I don't care where it's legal to fuck a 16-year-old girl.
I don't care.
Jerry Seinfeld, back in the day, it's 39 years old in New York, was dating a 17-year-old girl named Shoshana.
It's a true fact.
Okay.
It's weird thing.
It's weird.
Is it illegal?
No, but that's fucking weird.
Okay.
So, back to act.
He says that he was talking about what he called the gray area that exists when you're in a certain age.
First of all, a couple of things.
Number one, if you're 17 and you're dating somebody that's 19, that's not a problem.
If you're 17 and you're dating somebody, that's 20.
That might be okay with some people.
You know what I mean?
For me, the way I look at this, two different ways.
One, there is something about that.
It's true.
I don't remember any of my homeboys.
I had a girlfriend going into college.
I don't remember any of my homeboys seeing somebody else in college and asking them,
how old are you?
Like, I don't know if they were doing that at Texas, just being like, just all that
right there.
Like, if you go to the school, they would have to.
There's an assumption, right?
There'd have to be a reason.
if somebody looked particularly young
or if we,
it was known that they had skipped a grade,
there'd have to be a reason that someone would say,
if you're a freshman in college
and you're dating somebody else,
not talking about in the grad school,
in the undergrad,
nobody's gonna, like,
I don't remember it.
I can get everybody on this.
Nobody asked for ID from someone
that's going to the same school as you in college.
This is not something that I remember happening,
right because there was a shit ton to be honest with you
if we're going to talk about sex there was a shit ton of
underage drinking at parties from the freshmen and the sophomores
and nobody was carding in when they would go to house parties
nobody was carding them when they would go to frat parties
that's just the more interesting thing
is why are we talking about this
why are we talking about the gray area
of fucking maybe underage girls
and this is the growing point.
This is the this is the this is the teachable moment.
The teachable moment is why is it necessary if what Tiger was doing
because Tiger wasn't in college, Kylie wasn't in college,
Tiger was out of college age,
Kylie was 16 years old.
Why is it necessary to find some gray area to make an exception for him?
It's a great question.
It's like why is it that's the thing that kind of gets to me.
Why are you taking it upon yourself?
We talked about this.
Like why are you taking it upon yourself to go, hey, this is whatever.
Nah, just say, yo, this shit is wild.
Just say, it's okay.
This is just as far as him.
And what he was saying, even when he was saying it, he was a lot younger.
There's something going on between Act and.
Another content creator, and you can learn about it all over on his page to where this content creator took a chunk out of Axe's ass.
If I'm going to be honest with you, they're having a beef and it's a very nasty.
It's a very lowdown, punching below the belt type of beef.
Ak has said some things fucking nuts, kind of how he does.
And him and this guy have going back and forth, and he thinks that these guys went back in time, clip this clip this clip.
He feels like it's out of context, put it out there, and they checked this.
This was everywhere.
Yeah.
And now he's trying to deal with it.
Yeah, they checked his junk.
I think what bothers me, too, is that, okay, people don't ask for ID, college ID.
They don't ask for ID when you're drinking in college.
There's a lot of assumptions that are going on, but it doesn't make it right.
And the way that he's talking, he's almost like, this is just.
what you do in college.
But that doesn't make it right.
And just the way he's so emphatic about talking about, you know, I'm a fucker if she
has a college ID.
It's like, like I said, people like people have fake IDs.
There are people 16 in college.
It doesn't make it right what you're saying.
And I think that's what I need him to take responsibility for and ownership of.
Like, it doesn't make it okay, even if people do that.
Yes, people are young and dumb.
and they're not thinking of the legality of it,
but it doesn't make it right.
You are still going to be responsible
if you are with someone who's underage
and that's a minor.
You're still legally going to be held responsible.
But also, at, where is your moral compass?
This is what I mean about it being gross and disgusting.
Like, morally, what are your morals?
Like, what do...
That's the more concerning thing for me.
You just don't, like, you just don't seem to care.
So I remember when I was in high school and we became seniors, right?
It was such a glorious, wondrous time.
All of a sudden, I remember the day the seniors left when I was in the 11th grade
because the seniors, they left before everybody else because they had to get ready for graduation.
They should take out pictures.
A sign out of books.
Oh, I'm a senior.
I remember when they left.
And when they were gone, we automatically felt we're the seniors now.
11 graders, we felt like the motherfucking geez.
That senior year at McKinley was one of the best times of my life.
But I would never, oh my God, senior year at McKinley, me and Paulette Gray exploring each other's
bodies.
You know what I mean?
Like basketball.
You know, all of that stuff.
Just like, we had just built a, my family was intact.
We had just built a brand new house out in Zachary.
I was living out in Zachary, big house with a lake.
pawn horses. Yeah, it was a great time in life. An amazing time. The year in 1998 might be the best
year in my life. It's actually not true, but it's one of them. So I remember we were 17, 18 years
old. I remember the freshmen coming on campus. And I remember guys in the senior
class fucking ravaging the freshmen.
And I remember saying, I remember talking to one specific home, yeah, I'm not going to mention
this name.
I'm like, because there was this freshman girl that was after me.
She was after me.
She was after me.
She was after me.
She was after me.
I'm like, you.
I'm like, no.
I even remember her name.
I'm like, because her brother had gone to school there before, the year before.
I'm like, no, man.
You was just at McKinley Middle.
Like, I'm not.
And one of my home boys after that.
started taking it down.
I'm like, yo,
like, she's 14.
You know what I was like?
I was like, yo.
This company that you keep.
Man, this is Louisiana.
Niggas.
Don't blame that to Louisiana.
Hey, can I tell y'all something?
I got to be real about,
I got to be real about something.
Like, this is more widespread
than you guys think.
Oh, I don't think people like deny that.
Like, when I was,
Like when I was in middle school, I knew girls dating guys in high school.
Like when I was in high school, I knew girls dating guys in college.
Some girls dating guys out of college.
That wasn't that big of a deal.
Well, let me not say that big of a deal.
That wasn't out of the ordinary.
It was a big deal.
But it wasn't out of the ordinary in Baton Rouge, like at all.
Well, I think it's normal.
When I was a senior, my junior going to senior year, my boyfriend was in college.
You know?
I think, you know, I was 17, he was 18.
He's disgusting.
I think that it happens.
I didn't really see it from the high school, even though I knew people like that.
I more saw it in college.
I remember coming in as a freshman in college and the senior guys, the older guys, just like lining up in Jester, which is where people would hang out the dorm, just like checking out the fresh meat that had just come in.
Even the girls, even the girls were into like the young guys that were coming in.
And I remember thinking, I remember I said to my cousin, I was like, oh, my gosh, like all these older women are still in the guys that are our age.
Fast forward to us being seniors, we were like, who's the new?
So, so, so, so, so, so, so, look, what would you say?
It's this.
So, so, wait.
So look, you just doubled back and you kind of on the same page as act a little bit.
Wait a minute.
I didn't say, I didn't, I ain't talking about fucking people.
Rachel academics.
I said, I said, we, I want to go home.
So, so I think the thing to be derived from this is a couple of things.
Number one, when we're talking about, and I'm in all seriousness here,
when we're talking about, especially nowadays, after we have lived through the R. Kellys
of the world, after we've lived through, I mean, after the topic of consent has become
such a hot topic, right?
we have to be incredibly incredibly
important the way we discuss
sexual Congress
and the way we discuss people entering into these
these different situations and what
what is kosher and what isn't kosher
and a lot of times
I'm going to be honest with you
like having a conversation
I remember one time I had a conversation with
Toronto Burke
and I asked Toronto
Burke, I said, is, is like nonverbal consent to think because there was a discussion that
you have to have active consent.
Can I do this?
Yes.
Can I do that?
Yes.
Can I do that?
Yes.
And me and Toronto Burke, we did a talk down at Fam U.
Shit went bad, actually.
We should have Toronto on the podcast.
We could tell that story.
It's very funny.
We, uh, we, it's a, oh, we, we, we had a talk at Fam U.
I went down there at Toronto, we had a talk.
at FAMU. And FAMU did not want to confront some of the things that had gone on on the
campus in the past. Oh, wow. And when the kids would bring them up, the people at FAMU would try
to silence the women in the audience from talking about the culture on campus and Taronda Burke
and some of the other people. This is all this happened. I went down to Tallahassee that might have
in 2018. Fabulous. So this is the height of the Me Too movement. During the Me Too movement
that's trying to silence people.
And there were people, yeah, they didn't want to really discuss it, didn't want to talk about it, didn't want to have all of these different conversations.
And it ended up becoming, you know, quite explosive anyway.
And I remember asking her, there's such thing as verbal, it's nonverbal consent.
And she's like, yeah.
Of course it is.
That's how most people get late.
So, like, not to get too graphic, but if you're going to take off an article of clothing from somebody and they move in a way that lets you take off that article of clothing, you, it's a lot of clothing.
you, it's fair to assume that they wanted you to undress them, right?
So all of those things are things that we understand as people.
We get that sometimes things aren't as encyclopedic as we sometimes make them out to be.
However, though, boasting about the fact that it's a bad look.
No, the R. Kelly thing you pointed out was so on point.
And that's, and that plays into when you said, I'm going to be honest.
with you how widespread this line of thinking is look at an R. Kelly.
Yeah.
And we ignored it for years.
We did. We did.
Because we thought it was a, because the thing with R. Kelly is when we discussed this with
R. Kelly, we thought that it was a quirk.
See, we didn't take, see, we, we allow R. Kelly's psychosis and his, is demon patterned
behavior to become a fetish or a quirk.
or a weird, eclectic aspect of his personality.
We didn't treat Arkelly like a predator.
We didn't treat R. Kelly like somebody who went to the McDonald's across the street from
the high school and brought girls there, brought him a happy meal and groomed him so he
could have sex with him later on.
We didn't treat him like that.
And so I think part of what we're discussing now is anytime we're hearing this now, you're
talking about a society, particularly a black community that has PTSD from the
abusers that we've let go in the past
and we want to make sure
a lot of people that we don't do that again
so that's why it's important
no matter what you're talking about wherever you're talking
about it to be intentional with your words
when you're discussing stuff like this now
look his back and forth with these guys
and everything that's going on and what he meant
to say and when he said it and all of that stuff
all of that's applicable
but there are I mean look
it does you have to put it in context right
not the context I'm sorry the back and forth
with the beat back and forth yeah
Yeah, you have to put it in context.
But at the same time, we both live in a bill.
We live where we say words for a living.
And at some point, you have to, you have to be,
you just have to be a little bit more intentional with how you're putting things out there.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
You know who's 17 when I met them?
Who?

War in Ukraine, Joe Biden sending another $1 billion in military aid to the Ukraine.
President Joe Biden has announced another $1 billion in weapons for Ukraine on Wednesday,
including anti-ship systems, artillery rockets, and rounds for howitzers.
This morning I spoke with President Zelensky to discuss Russia's brutal and ongoing war against Ukraine.
I reaffirmed my commitment that the United States will stand by Ukraine as it defends its democracy and support its sovereignty and territory integrity
in the face of unprovoked to Russian aggression, Biden wrote in a statement.
Biden also announced an additional $225 million in humanitarian.
assistance for the Ukraine to address needs like safe drinking water, critical medical,
exploits, food, cash for families to purchase essential items.
Since Moscow invaded the Ukraine, the Biden administration has deployed more than 100,000
troops to NATO member countries and authorized more than $5.6 billion in security assistance,
$5.6 billion.
It's like two Michael Jordans.
Actually, I don't know how much.
Michael might be near.
five now. I know he was around two for a while. Michael might be near five. Rachel, your thoughts about
this. You have a problem with it. Did you ask me or did you tell me I have a problem? Did you say you
have a problem with it? Or did you ask? I asked. I asked. This is tough. This is tough. It's hard to
listen. Obviously, we've been on this podcast and we've talked about the war and our support for Ukraine
and have condemned what Russia is doing. And though we haven't talked about it in a while and maybe we
do need to do that again, this war is still going to.
on. It's been going on for 100 days. And people are continuing to suffer. And Russia is starting
to make maybe some small, but some, I mean, some progress as far as, you know, before we were
hearing about Ukraine and how they were, you know, holding their ground and defeating Russia. But
maybe what we're not hearing about or maybe we have war fatigue and we're not paying attention
to it as much is that, no, Russia is starting to make some advances on Ukraine. So they obviously
still need help. And I, as a country, I want to support them and help them. But I'd be lying if I
didn't say it's not tough to watch how Congress can come together or the president can make decisions
of sending another billion dollars in weapons to Ukraine. And we still have so many issues that are
going on in this country. And for some reason, we can't come together to help the citizens of this
country. Inflation is a huge issue. I think we talked about it on the last podcast. We have,
you know, racism, police brutality, our children being shot, black people being shot,
Asian people being attacked, Jewish people being attacked, all these issues in our country.
But for some reason, we can't come together and get on the same page with this, but we can when it
comes to efforts with other countries. And so I'm not saying that it shouldn't happen.
I'm just saying, why can't we see that happen here?
that unity happen here with us.
So I understand what you're saying.
This is the kind of conversation that puts you into a bad person like, right?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
It puts you into a, this is one where people corner you, right?
They corner you up.
It reminds me of something I went through with my dad back in the day.
I wanted to go to Blockbuster video.
Oh, wow.
I did.
I loved it.
It was like a little amusement part.
Wasn't it?
Looking at all the boxes, going down the aisles of different genres,
all the movies I wasn't allowed to watch.
Let me tell you something right now.
You guys have, when I say you guys, I mean, you knew niggas.
All over the place.
All over the place.
Okay.
New generation.
You guys have it easy.
I'm not going to lie.
You have traded access for wonderment.
You have access to everything.
But you're getting low on wonderment.
You're getting low on experiences, right?
You got access to a lot of different stuff.
Boom, press the button.
I got the movie.
Do you know what it's like to go into a blockbuster at 5.30
and browse around aisle after aisle after aisle.
You see popcorn, you see sodas.
You see other people.
You see movies that you run over there to see if the movie that you want, that's a new release, is there.
And you look, look, look, look, they're all gone.
But there's one left.
And you're like, ah, I got it.
It's so true.
But the movie's not there.
You go up to the front and you go, hey, has anybody returned one?
And they go, yep, somebody just returned one.
Let me go ahead and rewind it or do whatever.
And then we can do whatever.
And so, yeah.
So I want to go to Blockbuster video.
video, something that you guys don't understand how amazing it is.
And my dad said no.
Can't go to Blockbuster.
I was like, why?
He's like, I just don't feel like it.
You know what hurt me about that?
I remember this specific incident is that that I realized he didn't have a good reason for
not taking me in my mind.
You know, if he had just gotten off work or if we didn't have the money, that would have
one thing.
Sure.
But watching something happen when you realize there's not a good reason for you not getting what you want, sometimes hard for people.
When I see a billion dollars go to the Ukraine, it just reminds me of all the stuff we don't have money for, quote unquote.
Sure.
And I know that there's really no good reason, that the only reasons that we don't invest more into certain sectors of America are because we have a different set of priorities.
Ukraine is a gigantic priority.
It's a priority for many reasons
that I don't think people discuss enough.
It's a priority for worldwide
It's a priority energy-wise.
It's a priority for worldwide food stuff.
That war is having an effect
that affects that ripple outside of our borders.
That's affected supply chains worldwide.
That's affecting all kinds of prices of goods
It's going to get really weird when Russia actively starts trying to starve out the rest of the world as far as the things that they produce and contribute to the world economy.
And geopolitically, the United States has been in a dick measuring contest with Moscow for years and years and years.
And I don't know if the measuring tape will ever run out.
The thing that hurts, not hurts, that's annoying about this, it's not that they got a bill.
million dollars is that you didn't.
Is that we watched,
we watched Congress go back and forth
about the money they couldn't spend
on Americans.
It was too much. It was too big.
It's too much. It's too big. It's too much. It's too much. It's too much.
It's too much. It's too much. It's too much.
But it was, when it's about funding
a foreign war that we're not even involved in,
I guess we are about proxy.
Everybody just gets together and they sign
the paperwork.
And pat themselves on the back while doing it.
It makes you feel it even sad, right?
Because you're aware that what's happening to the people of Ukraine is terrible.
You're aware of it.
But especially being black, you know deep down, it's no good reason that we ain't going to Blockbuster.
They can easily get in the truck.
Take us to Blockbuster.
You know what I mean?
We've earned our trip to Blockbuster.
See, that's the difference.
I was just, my whole life was my entertainment.
This one, they ought to be fucking putting us in a limousine and taking us to that bitch with how much we put into this country.
So, you know, and at this point, the messaging on it, once again, I say this all the time is bad because I think the White House needs to do a better job of explaining just how, just why this is so important to American interests.
I think most people are aware that it's a humanitarian thing, but there's also all types of economic geopolitical ramifications of what happens in Ukraine and what would happen.
if Russia were able to complete their objectives there.
So, I don't know.
It's tough.
But it was annoying, right?
It is annoying.
And you're so right about the explanation, especially because I said, you turn on the news
and you see all what's happening to us, but a billion dollars.
But a billion dollars is going over there.
And you're right.
It sounds bad to say, but you're all thinking it.
Yeah.
Do you have any children with Herschel Walker?
Van.
I don't have any children.
Let's making sure.
Trudy?
I couldn't buy my mute button.
No.
Trudy don't come on for this.
Are you sure?
I'm not looking.
I can't be sure.
I did run into Hershey Walker in Dallas one time.
And this was before,
before, you know, he's been showing his ass.
This was years ago.
This was before a Bachelet.
And I was like, oh, my God, that's Herschel Walker.
I'll never forget.
I was in Eatsies and Grapevine.
And I was like, oh, that's Herschel Walker.
And I wanted to go say hello.
Glad I didn't.
Yeah, because it was you to hack.
Stop.
I'm better than that.
Shit, for all I know, I might have some kids by Hershawker.
Have I given birth for him?
Herschel Walker admits to having two more secret children.
Now he says he has four kids.
Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee, who's running neck and neck with Warnock.
What a fucking country.
What a fucking country.
country state
now let's just talk about
Georgia let's just talk about Georgia right now
let's just talk about Georgia
this happens everywhere
nah nah nigger
this extreme though not to this extreme
what the fuck
what the fuck we put we
you're right Trump you're right Trump
you're right Trump you're right Trump
but I guess I don't know why I'm looking at
this different because it's two black men
I don't know it's just
the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist
Church
It's just so bad.
Oh, fucking scholar.
Jesus Christ.
Herschel Walker has confirmed me as two more children,
added another secret child to the former football star.
It made it too earlier this week.
Walker now says he has four kids,
only one of them who was previously to know.
Walker's disclosure, second time this week,
the former professional football star who has been repeatedly critical
of African-American absentee fathers
has been forced to admit he had children out of wetlock after media reports on their existence.
This is Herschel Walker on fatherhood in 2022.
Give it to me, Donna.
And I want to apologize to the African-American community because I know that fatherless home is a major, major problem.
And Herschel Walker, who was born in Wrightfield, Georgia, I took care a lot of people in my hometown.
I took care a lot of the places around where I grew up.
I was being like a father to some of those kids that may have had father.
But because the Lord Jesus Christ blessed me to be an athlete, I should have went into the cities of Chicago.
I should have told a lot of my young African-American brothers there and my kids there, guys, hold on, get your education.
It's going to be okay.
Get your education.
It's going to be all right.
Hey, respect the police.
Go home, save.
Get home.
Get home to your family.
And remember that remember, you can leave the wife, but don't leave your child.
We've given those old things that I was brought up on from my father.
Because I was blessed to have a mom and a dad.
And I'm saying?
Some kids are not.
And, and, Charles, I want to say this.
And I want to say this to all kids, not just an African-American kid.
This is major for them, but to all kids.
You play his dumb-ass son, too.
Play him.
Fathers, it would be great if you stayed home and raised your kids
instead of ran off to bang a bunch of women who weren't your baby mama.
Stay home and raise your freaking kids.
Your kids need a father.
Get back home.
Get back home.
If you take out your thing and you get a woman pregnant,
guess what?
The party days are over.
The acting foolish days are over.
You go get a freaking job and you support your new family.
Get home.
Raise your kids.
Kids need a man in the house raising them.
They need a good dad.
They need a loving father.
And while you're out taking shots of vodka and tequila,
living your high life, your kid is suffering.
Get home.
Get home.
Raise your kids, fathers.
Get home.
We should have Christian Walker on the podcast.
We should, bro.
Along with Herschel.
We should have Christian Woffer on a podcast.
I wonder what Tameca Hamilton.
Oh, but I don't know if you saw it,
Tomika Hamilton made to the primary.
If Herschel Walker can do it, so can Tameka.
I mean, what?
Rachel, your thoughts, your thoughts on this?
Which one?
Listen, Herschel Walker is a joke.
I don't even need it.
Well, it's, actually, I take back joke.
Should we be talking about him in the same way we talked about Kanye West in the sense that should we be concerned at this point?
Because we got to a point where we were laughing, maybe making some jokes, and then realizing, you know what, like,
Kaye is not okay.
You know, there's something else that's going on there
and we just hope that he gets the help that he needs.
Maybe I'm being optimistic,
which is not usually the path that I take.
But something's wrong with Hershaw Walker.
I just don't believe you're this stupid.
I don't believe that you're just this inconsistent,
that you just are this illogical.
Like Christian, his son is putting on a show, right?
He considers himself a conservative.
analyst or a speaker. It's an act. I don't know about that with Herschel. I really think he believes
what he's saying and what he's saying doesn't make any sense. Should we be concerned? Should we be
talking about this from a different place? Now, I mean, you can't stay in that space too long
because he's obviously making strides in the state and now he's running against Warnock
and he could possibly become a senator of the state of Georgia.
but I'm actually concerned that he's not mentally okay.
He's not mentally fit.
It's just like, because we're talking right here about his, him being an absentee father,
but we're not going down the laundry list of false statements that he's made.
He's claimed to have been in law enforcement.
There's no record of that.
He's claimed to have been in the FBI.
There's no, or part of the agency or doing some type of training.
There's no record of that.
Didn't he say he got bin Laden?
Okay.
Unaware of that.
But apparently he said,
that. He said that he graduated. Okay. He said that he graduated from a college. He did not. He claimed
that, you know, he had one child. He has four. I mean, the list goes on and on and on. So at one point
are we start saying this man is not right. So I don't think Hershal Walker is stupid. I think,
this is why I think. I think he doesn't know what the fuck. I think he doesn't know what the fuck he's
talking about. It's a difference, right? So look, so Hershal Walker, his whole, no, no,
No, look, Rachel, I'm not disagreeing with you.
Let me make sure.
Oh, I know that.
But it's not like Jake Paul misinformation, disinformation that we talked about.
Hershal's worse than that.
Yeah, Herschel is no defund.
So if you put Herschel, you know, in front of a front,
you know, defensive front, and my brain is running out of gas right now,
getting a little COVID here, if you put Herschel in front of a defensive front
and you say, man, identify this defense.
Tell me about what a Mike linebacker's going to be to all of that stuff.
He could probably do it, right, because that's where he's dedicated his life to.
All of that stuff.
I bet he's a football expert from college to all of that stuff.
I bet he is, right?
You'll get to the point that you got to without knowing something.
So he's probably, he's not a stupid man.
But he's way in over his head and what the fuck we're talking about right now.
Like, he doesn't know anything of the fuck he's talking about.
It's just obvious.
He doesn't know anything with the fuck.
He's talking.
I'm not stupid, but if you put me right now, if I had to be the Cambridge chair of astrophysics,
they'd be like, Van, what are we doing?
I'm shit, nigger.
We're looking at the sun, doc.
That motherfucker hot.
You see it?
It's beautiful, huh?
I wouldn't know what the first thing to do would be, right?
So the question is, why would I be in the position where I had to take on that?
job that's the American problem here when my father passed away we learned some
things about my dad we learned that there were some kiddos out there that we
didn't know about and the thing about my father that that most affected wasn't
the fact that he had a it wasn't the fact that he had um I guess made those
mistakes or made those mistakes.
I don't know how you even put that.
How you say that, right?
It was that he took those secrets to the grave.
That's what it was.
He took those secrets to the grave.
Never shared them with me.
And if I'm looking at Hersch Walker right now, I don't look at Herschel Walker as being,
uh, I don't,
judge him morally for whatever peccadillo's that he got into or anything like that. I think that I'm
looking at why he felt like he had to commit the biggest crime that to me a man or a person can
commit, which is leave a child fatherless. If you're looking at Herschel Walker now, the question
isn't even about the lie. It's about the action. The action is what I'm looking at.
Everything that you say is fucking Frugazi.
Yeah.
Like, and it, it wouldn't matter to me if Herschel Walker was running on.
I don't think he's running on anything heady.
I don't think he's going to tell us how he's going to get in there.
I haven't heard him.
Maybe he has fixed the infrastructure of Georgia or what he's going to do in nationwide politics.
He's running in a very much cult of personality.
I'm a good guy type of situation.
But anybody that's considering.
just looking at that, looking at a guy like that.
I want you to think about how important fatherhood is.
And like when I thought about how disappointed I was with my father,
it wasn't that he,
it wasn't that his habit.
It was that it was never reconciled.
This was something that was found out about Herschel Walker.
This was something that was uncovered about Herschel Walker.
This is something that we would never know about him had he not decided to run.
I heard about Christian Walker.
He's a very devoted and involved father with Christian Walker.
We covered Christian Walker when I was at TMZ because it was, you know,
Christian Walker was not in the mold that Herschel was cut from.
He was a cheerleader.
He's gay.
And the fact that Herschel had such an amazing relationship with his son,
given that a lot of times in our communities,
guys tend to distance themselves from progeny that might be.
fit that description, I thought it was something amazing. But there are other kids that,
apparently, from what we know, didn't know who their daddy was. It wasn't around their daddy.
I'm just tired of being preached to by Charlottons. That's why I don't preach, because I'm one.
So I'm tired of being preached to by charlatans. I'm tired of that. And like, even when my father
passed away, I thought about all the moralizing sometimes. I love the man, love him to death.
You guys know how much. I think about all the moralizing.
he would do.
How he would throw that bottle in your face?
We could never talk about that.
So I'll look at these guys and it's not even about
and I'm not even, and I'm just being honest
with the audience here, maybe a little too honest
because I got all medicine.
So when I look at that, I'm like,
there's a basic respect for Herschel Walker
that I don't think that I have.
Because of this or did it go out the window?
a while back.
It's just like,
it's not even the,
it's not even the fact that this happened.
Just like when you,
when you stand on something like this,
this type of lie just cuts to the core of who you are.
It's intertwined with your soul.
It's spool around your spine.
It's not,
it's, I'm looking at people and telling people to be fathers.
And there's some kid somewhere that's probably bench pressing
350 pounds at nine years old and doesn't know why.
Why am I so strong?
Why can I run?
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, I don't know what relationship he has with these kids, but secret children, it's a sore spot for me.
And I don't know if Christian even knows, maybe he does know.
But to me, I don't look at it like, I don't look at it like Hersch Walker is lying.
I look at it like Herschel Walker is a lie.
Oh, very good point.
Very good point.
I don't like his hair either.
It's the fucking flat top.
This nigga got a flat top.
He's had it for years.
Hasn't he had it for years?
You can't have a flat top in the 2022.
Listen, listen, I feel like he's been rocking at as a part of his look.
It's the Hershal Walker.
Donnie, did you ever have a flat top?
No, I can't say that I have.
He don't really, it's not, I guess it's, hell yeah.
It's like.
It's not really a flat top.
It's rounded at the top.
It's more of a bob.
No, it's boxing.
It's not as boxy.
as I remember.
I had a flat top for years.
I didn't cut the flat top until ninth grade.
I had a flat top, man.
Patrick Ewing shit for a long time.
I didn't cut it until the ninth grade.
I want to see pictures.
Oh, yeah, I'm going to show you some pictures, man.
They're with the flat top.
All right.

I'm trying to think of, it's a question I wish I would have had time to think about
before because there's so many.
There's so many movies that I watch and every time I watch the movie,
I hope that it ends differently, but I know that it doesn't.
What a destructively good question, Ellen MW12.
I would change the ending to Boys in the Hood.
That's one.

When I know what's going to happen to my nigger.
But like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I know what's going to happen to Kane at the end of the movie.
Like, why am I looking at it?
So for mine, it would probably be in a society.
That's a great question.
All right.
