Ooh.

Well, you know what?
Actually, I've been rebuilding.
I moved to Atlanta.
I was in LA for like 17 years.
Mm-hmm.
And I came down here and I'm regrouping.
Regrouping.
Regrouping.
Yep.
I heard that.
Yeah.
You got your phone on?
I have to have to turn your mind on.
Because they heard you was coming.
Not everybody wants to call you.
Yeah, but see, I can tell nobody that I was keeping this exclusive.
I didn't want a whole lot of people.
Okay, please.
Don't let nobody know.
I want nobody to know.
It's kind of like this is a real intimate setting.
It is very intimate.
It's just you and me.
Yeah, because I want to know.
Right.
Okay, then.
Okay, then good.
I'm going to tell you all about it.
How did all this come about?
All about what?
Like, how did all of this happen?
Like, the modern.
and everything.
Ooh, you just...
I want to know everything.
Tell everybody.
So you're just walking around dating looking good.
Yeah.
And they're like, girl, you should be a mom.
No, no, no, no.
I, shoot, I started when I was like in the third grade.
Really?
Well, yeah, in the third grade, I went to Residence Park,
and we had like a Lucy Y May poetry contest.
And it was this, I was like in the third grade, and the sixth grader, she was up there and she did like Sojourner Truth.
And she was up on the stage and she was like, that man over there said that a woman should be lifted over pedals and carried over things and no man's ever did that to me.
And no man's ever. And I was like, I want to do that. I want to be in this contest and just seeing everybody come up and perform.
I was like, I want to perform.
And so next year, I went up there, and I did Paul Lawrence Dunbar in the morning, and I end up winning the Lucy Wet, the contest.
And then I got part of a traveling theater group.
This guy named Terrence, I don't know his last name, but Terrence had a group.
Just a random Terrence?
No, Terrence.
Shut out to all the Terrence.
No, Clarence, Clarence, Clarence Young, or Clarence, Clarence, Clarence, Young.
Anyway, he passed away, all them, yeah, young and there too.
Well, we performed at like different recreational parks and stuff like that.
And one day I got the lead road in this play of this lady's life.
And I was playing her adolescence to like preteen.
And there was this lady that they were bringing in.
They lived in New York who was this model.
And she was coming to play the lady from when she was like,
you know, 15, 16 to like early 20s, a young adult, and her name was Jamaica, and she was from
Dayton, Ohio, and she had moved to New York, and she was, like, doing big things. Like, she was,
like, a celebrity in Dayton. So I was, like, when she came in and she, like, took me in and, like,
kind of unofficially made me her big sister, and she, um, I was, like, nine at this time,
and then when I turned about 12, she introduced me to her modeling coach and Dayton, who, at the time,
I didn't know was like
because he was so
fresh he was like you little bitch
I know you're fucking aren't you
tell me give it to me give me sex I know you're sexy
you little sexy bitch
At 12?
Yes
Yeah
Damn
His name was Lucius
Don't say his name
Don't say his name
I want to get caught up with no bullshit
Luce is you did that room
You know you was wrong for that shit
He told me about lighting and makeup and contouring.
I have to sweep his flow.
I would clean up in exchange for my lessons and stuff.
But, you know, just learn how to pose and be in front of the camera.
So about time I turned 14, I was already going to New York.
And I was, like, going to the agencies and things.
But I was really skinny then.
And then I had these big tities.
And these tities came out of, like, nowhere.
I got tities, like, in the fifth grade or something.
And, like, next year, it's like one year I didn't have them, and then I had them.
But as a model, you have to be really thin.
You know, you can't, like, have to shave it.
I disagree with that.
I like models with big titties.
Whoever running the modeling industry, save the titties.
Love the titties.
Me too.
Embrace the titty.
Yes, big titty committee.
Yeah.
I'm the president.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Keep going.
You're talking about Titties.
I get distracted.
I get distracted.
I get distracted.
When I was going to the agencies, it was held against me.
So I would go to the agencies 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
But then I end up gaining weight because I end up doing this birth control shot.
The debo show you, it would blow you up, right?
That dead bow, pop, pop, pop, pop.
I felt like the incredible hog.
I went from like a size 2 to a size 12, quick.
I was like busting out of clothes, the inner thigh pans, bust it open,
Everything was busting open.
And I was like, whoa.
Wait a minute.
The birth control shot?
Yeah.
Do all that?
Yeah.
Damn.
All right, Beth.
This is something to keep in mind.
Then I was like.
You know that?
You knew that birth control made them thick?
I thought that was a myth.
You thought it was a myth.
That's what you did here.
You just didn't believe it.
I didn't believe that shit.
Yeah, that's true.
So I was like, how am I going to do this?
Because I never only knew.
I didn't know there was a such thing as plus size modeling, right?
That just was in my world, and it came on real quick.
And I was like, so I researched it, and, you know, I went to the agencies, and I seen they had a different, you know, they had that category.
So I took some pictures, and I went to just.
I went to Jamaica who lived in New York because I would always go to her house in the summers from the age of 14 of, you know, forever to go to the agency.
So I took some pictures and I went to the agencies.
And this time when I went to the agencies, normally when I go to the agencies, they come in and they look at your book and they just be like, no, or next.
Like, they're really harsh or you even never got that.
You know, they could just, it was just, the no was quick.
Yeah, they don't waste your time.
They don't wish your time at all.
The nose was so quick.
So this time when I went in, they looked, they actually looked, looking at my pictures.
And I was at Ford.
I went to Ford and they was looking at my pictures.
And they looked up at me and they said, okay, well, come back.
You know, they gave me some rules to do or whatever.
They wanted me to go like live in a model house or something.
So they were interested in me.
And then I went over to Willamina and we went into the call and I gave him my book.
And then they gave me a quick note too.
So I was like, oh, let me go back over to four.
But while I'm sitting in the lobby waiting for, what was he waiting for?
They was waiting, I guess waiting to bring our books back from the, whatever.
So the casting, the lady, casting director, she's not the casting director,
but whoever, the head of the modeling, her name was Susie.
She came out and she seen me and I had this little wig on.
My hair was like flipped to the side or something.
And she was like, you, did you submit your pictures?
And I was like, yeah.
And she was like, asked to see my books.
And she pulled my book and she came.
She told me to wait.
all the girls left and she was like, I don't know what your money is like, but you need to see
this photographer and you start here and work down depending on your budget and, you know,
cut your hair. I don't know what's going on underneath your hair or whatever, but you need
to cut your hair. I need you in like a, you know, basically like a Bob look. You know, she just
gave me instructions on what to do. So I went and I did it. And then I gave, I sent in my pictures
to her and I'm waiting for her to call me back. I'm back in Ohio. And then she ends up calling me
And she says, oh, my God.
And these pictures was bombed, too.
I really liked the pictures.
She said, oh, you're so adorable.
And, you know, but unfortunately at this time, we don't have any room on our board.
My mom was like, why does bitch make you cut your hair?
You know, and I was like, she didn't say no.
She said, they ain't got no room right now on her board.
Okay.
So when I go back to New York, I'm going to shoot with this second photographer.
And I'm going to just, you know, go back and drop her off some more pictures.
So I did that and dropped her off some more pictures.
And those pictures suck.
I called her up.
And she was like, come in.
And I came in and they end up signing me to Willamina.
So I was like 18 years old.
I already was like signed to Willamina, but I was going to a community college in Sinclair.
So I was like...
That shit lit.
A lot of people don't know.
Community college.
Community college.
Community college, period.
Community college is lit.
Yeah, I had a good time.
Everybody owe the school $500, it's a different type.
Come on, man.
What's the community college you went to?
Sinclair Community College.
Oh, word.
Yep, I was part of African American studies.
I used to put on fashion shows and plays and stuff for the college.
I was a cheerleader.
I was Miss Sinclair.
Okay.
You showed your ass at this school.
I sure did.
So I'm asking Claire, so I'm telling the people, I'm telling this girl that I'm about to go to New York
and I'm about to become a model.
And she tells me, okay, but before this,
she tells me about America's next top model
and how she just audition and all this stuff.
But I was deciding, I was telling everybody
that I was going to New York now.
I thought to be this big model and everything.
But I don't know.
Somewhere in between there,
I got dropped from Willamina.
They let me go.
But I still wasn't disappointed
because it was like, I got a book now.
I already did some photos.
shoes. I had built my portfolio. And so like I had a I had a working book and it had Willamina
on it. So I was like, I'm going to go anywhere. I go elite. I go to Ford. I go anywhere. I'm
going to be fine. I'm good. Right. So I back to going to Sinclair. So the girls at Sinclair, I'm
telling her about how I'm about to take over the world. And she's telling me about how she just
auditioned for America's Next Top Model. And it was just like the third season. So the second season had
just ended. And so I was like, well, where is that at? They were having auditions in Columbus.
Ohio. Throw down there right quick. Real quick, right? So I go down there. It's a whole room
full of girls in there. They're going up to audition and the stage was probably like this big
that we had to like walk on, turn on. They had like one little camera. We had to say like our name,
a few little things and the girls were looking so timid and I just knew that when I got up there
I was just visualizing how I was about to tear this little stage up, honey. So I got up there.
Hey, when you get up there, you better fucking do it. And I fucking did it.
I got up there.
I tore that little stage up, and I twirled and walked.
I did every little thing I could do in this space.
And all the girls in the audience was laughing, I mean, cheering and clapping me on and everything.
And then I got off, and everyone was like, you made it.
You're going to make the cut.
So I already thought that I made the cut, because I knew I definitely made the cut from this room.
Right.
So.
Crowd favorite.
Yeah, crowd favorite.
I've always been the crowd favorite.
So I was going on a trip with my hairstylist and her crew.
And we go over to Jamaica.
Not the lady, like, actually, Jamaica.
No, we go into Jamaica.
Okay, because the lady named Jamaica, too.
Right, yeah, right, see, I'm paying attention.
Paying attention.
So we go to Jamaica.
I'm in Jamaica, and because I just did this audition, people ask me, like, what you do?
I'm like, I'm a model.
I'm about to be on America's next top model.
They had, like, Benny, Ben, is it?
man.
No.
Is that the artist?
Beny man.
Okay.
Right.
You're looking at me crazy.
Thank you, J.O.N.
Right.
He was there.
Trina was there.
They had some pimps there.
It was like this big.
It was definitely going down.
The temp was there.
What was the pimps?
A Caribbean
kind of like Big Fest.
It was so much fun.
But anyway, I was just telling you.
everybody's going to be America's next time. I even did an interview. I hugged the baby. I mean, I kissed the baby and everything. I was just like, I just knew I was going to be on the show. And so a few weeks had passed, and I didn't get a call back. And nobody followed up with me. And no one told me that I was going to be on the show. So I was like, so Jamaica actually said, go online or something to see.
what's going on and find out, like, you know, who the contacts are.
I go online and I see that they're having callbacks, but I didn't get a callback,
and it wasn't in my city or anything like that, and I was in New York.
I went back to New York, and they had a callback in New York, and then they had a callback
in Indianapolis.
And I was like, I'm not going to do New York, New York too crowded, so I flew out to
Indianapolis, and I went back to the callback, and they were like, you're not on the list,
so you're not on that list to be called.
They were like, but after we see everyone that we come here to see, then we'll see you, you know, but you have to fill out this packet and you need to have, you know, a head shot and two bodies, you know, whatever, just all these rules that you had to have for the callbacks. I was like, okay. So while they were doing that, I went to like kinkos or whatever, filled out my paperwork, did what I need to do. So they brought us in after they seen everybody like 30 girls at a time. It all brought us in his room. They had his line up around, you know. But I was like, oh, no, I need to be right in front of the camera.
So I stood in my place, and I let all the girls who ever had to fill up the space.
I let them fill up the space, but I was locked in.
The lady that was behind the camera, she was just looking down the whole time.
So we came in, everyone, they're like, hi, my name is Sarah.
Hello, my name is Mary.
Hi, my day.
And she was just letting everybody go, and she was just looking down on the camera.
So it was my turn.
You know, it was at St. Clair, and, you know, I took this speech class or this public speaking class,
and it was like, you want to get somebody's attention.
These are different tools and techniques that you can use.
Look at you listening in class.
I did good in school.
I never knew I was going to do good in school
because I didn't do good in school.
I never knew I was going to do good in school
because I never did good in school.
Right.
No, growing up, like elementary in middle school or high school,
I didn't do good, but when I went to college, I did good.
I'm proud of myself.

Remember the Movie Pass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9?
It made zero cents, and I could not stop thinking about it.
I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet.
On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines.
Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of
Movie Pass, the company that he founded.
His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary.
We dive into how culture connects us.
When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing
Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther.
And the challenges of being a Black founder.
Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like.
They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone
who looks like you.
I created There Are No Girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us.

Problem.
My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade, and I called to ask how I was going.
She was like, oh, dad, all they were doing was talking about your thing in class.
I ruined my baby's first day of high school.
And slumflower.
What turns me on is when a man sends me money.
Like, I feel the moisture between my legs when a man sends me money.
I'm like, oh my God, it's go time.
You actually sent it?

You did this shit on purpose. I know you set this up. You ain't slick.
Yeah, you got to watch these little motherfuckers, man.
Well, while he's fixing that microphone, I would like to invite everyone to tune in to Channel 85.
the blackest TV show that ain't on TV
I never thought I would do good in school
you know what
I never did good at school
that's a hell of a way to look at shit
it's a hell of a way to look at shit
it's all about perspective
these days
Thank you.
All right, welcome back to the 85 South Show.
We're back in there.
Yeah.
I'm going to catch you all up on the store.
Takar almost there.
She had the call back.
Right.
And she ain't even supposed to be there.
I ain't even supposed to be there.
So I'm standing right in front of the camera.
The lady got her head down.
And so I stepped forward.
And I know I can't say hello or nothing or high.
So I step forward and I stopped my feet and I say,
I am.
Cara Jones and I'm from Dayton, Ohio, and I'm weighing in at a whopping 180 pounds.
And the lady, and I'm on, I had to say the three things.
I was like, you know, and I'm big, black, beautiful, and loving it.
And the lady looked up from the camera, and when she looked up, I knew I had her at that
moment.
And she looked at me, and she said, thank you.
And I said, I stepped back, got in line.
So afterwards, like, we call your number, whatever, and so rest is his.
The rest is history.
The rest is history.
Right, man.
It's a hell of a journey.
Thank you.
I can't believe you remembered all that shit.
I would have been like, man, I went down now.
Right.
It was fun.
Yeah.
So how was your experience with that?
It was good.
My experience was good because I always get to be myself, you know?
So that was my blessing.
I think that's my blessing.
My blessings I got to be myself.
I was just true to me and then everyone got to see me be me.
be me and then that's why everybody think they know me
is they do
but then you took that
and like you said you took over the world man
you was everywhere after that
I was everywhere
all in the rap songs and
videos and love interest
and love interests
all type of shit
all kind of things life is good
that's dope
just a cultural
icon now
because that's what I hurt
When you came out with that and we saw you in that swimsuit, oh my goodness.
I just seen that on, was it X now?
That's going to break the internet right now.
No, no.
I just seen it on X.
They just showed my body and my shape and everybody just automatically start going to car,
Takara, Takara, Takara, Takara, Takara, Takara, Takara, Takara, Takara.
It's like, whoa.
Hell yeah.
They didn't put your name in about 400 songs.
Mm-mm-mm-mm.
Your name in Thick was just.
just right there together, associated.
Well, I was just, I represented that average American woman, you know, like, that's just
what we've seen in our hood.
That's what we've seen growing up.
See, that's, they didn't see that.
No, they didn't see it.
No, and that was the difference because, right, anything over size, what, four, six was
considered, like, plus size or big.
And it was just modeling, you know, models are thin.
There are zeros and ones, like, zeros and ones.
How the fuck you make a zero?
Right, no size?
Right, no size.
They're zeros and twos.
What the fuck is you modeling on a zero?
Well, because back then it was called like a hanger.
So it wasn't about the model, it was about the clothes, and they just wanted the clothes to drape on the world.
You just hanged?
That's some weird shit.
Who are these people giving me the zero?
It's zero.
Well, also, no, you know what?
It has to do with, like, the fabric and everything and the cloths.
that it takes to make samples and designs.
And so they just didn't really want to spend money on fabric on sample sizes.
So that's why they just started with smaller models
so that they could just throw their designs on there
and make adjustments and, you know.
Oh, so they don't want to really put no time into this shit.
Like, I'm not making a big back version.
I'm not doing it.
I refuse.
I got a little bit of silk left.
I can make a zero, but that's it.
I can make two zeros.
I'm not making one-one.
I can get two zeros at this fabric that I got.
Exactly, yeah.
Damn.
And they got all that money.
Over there being cheap.
That part.
Can you believe that?
Why they being cheap like that?
I don't know.
That's why it set me on the mission.
I was so happy.
It set me on a mission.
That's why when I went on Celebrity Fit Club,
I was so serious about, like, just representing thick women
and changing the BMI.
Now that shit was classic.
With the celebrity fix.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
You can kiss my fat ass.
Yes.
I love her.
Look at that.
I'd be like, yes, the Pirary, yes.
Now we want to know, it's black people.
What was the breaking point?
Because we felt like watching this shit,
like, man, something happened off camera before this.
You know what it did?
But it wasn't that serious.
The thing is I had lost.
lost, I was losing weight. I lost weight through the whole thing. But Dr. Inna came over to me
and he had a conversation. He's like, you're doing great. You lost weight, you know, this week.
He's like, what are you doing? And I told him, I said, you know, I'm doing this. I'm doing that. I'm
excited because I was invested. Like, first of all, you paying me to lose weight, you know what I'm
saying? So I'm like, I'm coming here. I'm going to do my job. Like, I was serious. I would
clock. I was doing that time that I would eat every two to three hours. I would pack my lunch.
I would do like all the things that they told me to do. Like, I was dead.
predicated to this. And so he was like, yes, yes, yes. And then when I got up on the stage, he was like, yeah, you know, yeah, I can't wait, like basically say this. But that's not what he asked me. He went off into something else. And I'm, and I was just, he's just blindsided me. I don't know where he came from. And then he's going to tell me to be a woman.
that must have been in the script
who the fuck says that
so that's what threw you all
he had to car from Dayton Ohio
fucked up
did you see how she crossed so she jumped over the stage
I remember calling my manager
I jumped over the stage on now
yeah you was acting up for
I was acting up you was out of character
No, I wasn't
You were, well
I used to fight growing up all the time
I'm a big sister

Hey, me too.
Grump.
Yeah.

No.

That's because that niggie would be eating out a bowl a lot of time.
He knows.
So, yes, I play these crystal bowls.
There's sound bowls.
And each bow that I play aligns with our chakra.
You know about our chakras?
We got seven chakras.
Well, we have more than seven chakras.
But, and chakras is like old, ancient,
Chinese modality, but it's been proven in 92 that we really do have chakras before because
they couldn't really prove it because it's not like a physical body part, like your lungs
or your heart or anything like that.
It's your energy, the way that your energy flows, your energy flow, right?
And so these bodes connect to your flow, to your life force, to your energy.
And it's like a tuning, you know, so it kind of like tunes you up.
Spiritual healing.

I like it
what took you so long to come over here
I really don't do

This is a TV show.
Oh, okay.
This is a whole TV show, Thakar.
I didn't know if you knew, like, we just say it's a podcast, but this is really TV.

I like late night TV.
Yeah.
For black people, mostly.
Everybody's invited, but.
They don't show up.
You know who you're like.
They know.
They know.
Right.
Okay.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, you can come.

bras all day
I'm gonna talk about bras
I have swimsuit line also
so you know I'm dedicated to the big
titty girls the Nashville
I'm gonna clap every time you say something
about it every time you mention
Big T, every time Takara mentioned big titty, y'all got to take a shot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to be doing actually a pop-up shop, a pop-up.
Big Titties, a pop-up.
Oh, I might pop out.
Hello.
Thank you.
No, because like I said, growing up, I've always been big-breasted.
And so I needed a brawl that was supportive, that could hold me up, that could lift, that could
separate, that was in my size.
I would try to go to, well, growing up in Dayton, we don't, we had like, what,
elder Beerman, Walmart, like, we have too many places you can go and they all had these
granny-like bras. It's like they were like this tan color and they had this awful design. It's
like kind of silk and then they had the thick straps. It was just awful and it came in like
beige, black. White. White. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. It was really awful.
Yeah. The big ones was on the bottom. Yeah. Yeah. And they all looked the same. You had no
options. They did.
Nothing was sexy about them, right?
It'd be real big. You know, it was like, and it was
the same one that your grandmother wore,
that your mama wore, that the teenage,
what I'm saying, you had big tities.
My girl, look, my grandmother, dad, little tits.
Don't be talking to my grandma's teeth.
Well, my mama has little tities, and she said
more than a mouthful is a weight.
That's some hate of shit to say.
Hate it, ain't it, ain't it.
That's a lot.
Like, you're just supposed to eat one mouth.
full of titty. That mean you got something left over. You don't just make one bowl of spaghetti.
Your entire identity has been fabricated. Your beloved brother goes missing without a trace.
You discover the depths of your mother's illness the way it has echoed and reverberated throughout
your life, impacting your very legacy. Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro. And,

Remember the movie pass era?
Where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9?
It made zero cents and I could not stop thinking about it.
I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet.
On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines.
Like the visionary behind a movie pass, black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of movie pass the company that he founded.
His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary.
We dive into how culture connects us.
When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're
watching Black Panther.
And the challenges of being a black founder.
Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like.
They're not going to describe someone who looks like me
and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.
I created There Are No Girls on the Internet
because the future belongs to all of us.
So listen to There Are No Girls on the Internet on the IHurt Radio app,

But you know what?
I'm about to start making titties.
I'm going to start making titty.
I'm going to start making tities, yeah.
No, I'm going to start making bras for smaller-breasted women also.
They got enough options.
That's what I said, too.
That's what?
That's so true.
You know what?
Thank you.
Thank you for reminding me.
Right.
They got enough options.
Oh, damn.
Right.
Big titty women.
It's big tally.
women out here that need help it's like three brands right now all your focus all your focus
all my focus come on because I started at an e-cup um right so that's a lot of fabric
exactly I want to just know some of your friends what these women be at just big titty women

We can do a cruise.
Go to Dominican Republic.
Right.
All the places.
Hell yeah.
Get jagged hands to perform.
Man.
2025.
Come on.
Let's do it.
Shit.
Yeah.
Put the content.
It's really important because a lot of girls
they grow up and they don't have the proper size.
The most thing that we all know is Victoria's Secret.
Victoria's Secret only go to like a size D, D, D, D.
So everyone thinks they're a D.
Every girl you meet, if you ask them a brawl size, they are, they're like, oh, I'm a double D, oh, I'm a D.
Can't lie to me.
Yeah, they are.
I know my tits.
Well, they don't know.
Takara, I know my tits.
Trust me.
They can't lie to me.
They can't lie to you.
They can't lie to me.
That's what I'm talking about.
I know my tits.
They lie to their selves.
But that's all because Victoria Seeker can't sell you a E or a G or F or H or I or J.
You skip the triple D.
It's a market right there.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I told you.
I'm going to make it for the smaller breasted women.
I'm going to make a D collection because the, but the D is very tricky because the way that the, it's the whole science, the way that the breast is set up, right?
The way the breast set up.
Right.
They're not all circular.
I know a titty that's long like a missile.
Yeah, a lot of women do have uneven breasts.
Now that's very natural too.
That's the rest is maybe like an inch or half an inch.
Sometimes it could be more.
That's because your man supposed to hold the other titty up.
Amen.
Get you a man to hold that other titty up.
Get you a man.
or whoever you prefer.
Right, right.
I don't want nobody to feel left out.
Yeah, somebody don't want the handless people to be left out.
That's how, that's what we're at as a society right now.
Find you somebody that has something that will lift you up.
That's true.
What do you mean somebody?
No, but you know, women love it because it provides a lot of back support.
It's very sexy.
And like, when you're, when you have bigger breasts and like, you know, the bra don't have to be sexy.
It is sexy enough by themselves.
That's my whole point I was bringing out is that now my brawl, people want to show it off.
They wanted to be seen.
So now we can wear sheer shirts and we can wear the blazers and we can do all those little cute fashion things that we see the girls with the smaller breasts.
We want a little pickable.
We want our breath, our little brawl to show.
Who the fuck said you couldn't?
Well, you don't want to do that in that granny brawl.
Who want the granny brawl picking through and showing out?
See, you sure I'm doing that.
Y'all focused on the wrong shit.
Nobody's looking at the bra.
We're looking at the tithes.
She got quiet.
She got quiet.
I know it ain't just me and Jack.
Come on somebody.
You won, you got me.
You should reinvent the old lady bra and make it sexy.
No.
Don't.
No, we're not going to do that.
We're going to keep my bra.
Did you see my bra?
I'm just, all right, I'm just, I'm just throwing some ideas.
Okay, okay, okay, we brainstorming.
Okay, yeah, it's like an exclusive bra that only come out in like Christmas, right?
Bam, it's a tribute to a grandma on them.
It's nostalgic.
But it's sexy.
It's the 2024 version of what grandma on them didn't get to get.
It's a retro bra.
Retro.
Because, you know, tears ain't even shaped like they were back in the day.
No, no.
They used to be tear dropped.
Used to be like, oh, that wasn't, yeah, my friend, Sunshine, she got nice sat and like, yeah, here, drop titties, you're right, and they have. Tittas has done evolved.
They do.
Well, it just depends.
Every woman has different shapes, you know, tidies.
Then when she lay down, that's a whole other titty.
Then she's stand up.
That's another titty.
When did you become a tittyologist?
Because I've been studying Titties in my lifetime for at least the last 30.
Because you're 41.
Yeah, I'm telling you, it's about 30, I'll say at least the last 30 years.
So I got tons of research done.
I've seen all kinds of...
He was like 10-11.
Yeah.
Your mom breastfeed you?
Uh-uh.
No, how you know?
Look, I have no...
I ain't never touched my mama's tittance.
That's on my life.
My mama didn't breastfeed none of her kids.
How you know?
Because I was there.
I'm the oldest.
I'm the oldest.
I'm the oldest, too.
I never touched my mama's teeth.
Okay.
So that ain't it.
Okay.
That ain't it.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
So at 10, 11 years.
This is when I really devoted time and energy and effort.
Because once you see them, like once you, that take you from a boy to a man.
Once you see a titty in real life, you can't go back to none of the shit that you used to do.
Now your life is dedicated to seeing more tities.
Ask any man in there that grew up.
Look how they all agree.
Look, just look around the real.
Once you see a titty, you don't want to do none of that weak-ass shit you was doing.
Ain't no more plan.
Nick, now you just outside looking for shit.
Now you're a legend.
This nigger seen a teddy before.
Tell them.
Coming outside, right?
I bust the right.
Titties.
Niggas is riding their bikes all the way across town to hit his story.
Ask them.
I'm in my first kitty
You never forget it
You never forget it
You never forget it
See
You said oh that's a teddy
That's a teddy
That's a teddy
That's the point in life
Where men realize that women
grow up way faster than us
Right
Because the first time a girl
That you knew her as a girl
Then she that showed you
An adult teddy
Where the fuck you get a titty from?
Niggas mind is blown.
Nothing matters no more.
Food, life, titties.
We'd be fucked up on tetties three, four years
before we even ask for some pussy.
And my bullshit, fellas.
Not no for real.
Some niggas don't plan out.
Like, when you young or pre, like,
in your early teens, you don't plan nothing.
Nothing passed tithis.
What you do?
Man, I was at the movies for four hours rubbing on some pettis.
What else you do?
What you mean?
What else?
What else is there to do?
Right.
Right.
I ain't mad at you.
Then one day somebody fucked the game up and said,
but you ain't get no pussy, though.
When y'all digger started doing this shit?
You're rubbing on coot.
Oh, man.
Shit.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
That's why women live longer than men.
Well.
We spend so much time growing up.
By the time we get fully grown and realize how much that shit sucks out of there.
Okay.
We don't get a lot of joy
In life, Takar
Did you know that?
As men
As men?
I heard.
Oh, man.
It ain't but like 11 things
That'll make a grown man happy
Like 11
Maybe 13
It's an uneven-ass number
It's not a looted list of shit
And titty
Where's tities on the list?
Titties is top two and not two
Top two and not two
They, it depends on, like, so they interchangeable, like, ass.
You know how you be looking at like a pole and the shit keep changing?
And it's not a titty out sometimes.
Right, right.
And that's what I wanted to know, too, because most guys are ass guys.
Right.
You know, you don't really find too many, like, titty guys.
It's kind of like the majority of people.
You know what?
I think it's black men, ass so important in our culture.
Yeah.
That we didn't just got you, like, fuck them tis.
The ass.
Right, yeah, exactly.
Pure the ass.
That is so true.
And I'm not sexualizing.
We're just having a hypothetical conversation.
No, I've noticed that myself.
I only represent like 3% of black men.
That's all in a name, but like 3% real niggas left that even agree with the things that I say on this platform anyway, which is quite a high number.
If you break it down, subtract the bitch-ass niggas and the niggas who don't matter, then the niggas who just say wow shit just to be saying shit, then you do like that thing.
3% that I represent, marginalized group.
Absolutely.
Can you dance?
Can you?
Yeah.
If you dancing and I had to be able to dance to dance with you,
I'm a dancing motherfucker.
But like walking around just telling people I can dance,
nope.
But if like me and you being together depended on it,
like if we was out and he was like, let's dance.
I'm a dancing motherfucker.
Okay.
period. That's all I needed to know. Exactly. When you want to go dancing? Let's go.
When we leave here, I'm going to the cigar spot. You want to dance in there? I mean, they play
some old school music. They got a nice old, we can dance with J-O-N.
I bet. See how she made you the DJ. Stay away from it.
You got a man these days, or is it private?
Don't be huffing and puffing.
It's not a hard question.
No.
What?
No and no.
Okay.
Good.
I was just going to say you don't need one.
Okay.
Thank you.
I feel like you could do it all by yourself.
No, no.
Women need men and men.
need women. You need each other. Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be.
Absolutely. Yeah. One plus one equals three. Yeah. I was just about to say that.
I know you weren't. I was. I'm going to agree with me. No, I ain't going to agree with you. I don't tell the truth, though.
I agree with me. Okay.
Stop. Stop. Stop. You stop. You stop. Go on. Stop. Stop. This stop. I did. I did too.
How many sisters and brothers you got?
I don't have no family.
It's just me again.
So this was a setup.
We're on the date or something?
Or like, where's the food at?
Or I mean, like, where the candles and the cake?
And, I mean, like, the flowers or something.
Mm-mm.
This is a conversation with the car.
No, but you didn't even have nobody here with us.
I don't need nobody else.
I made sure that they heard me when I said that.
I was like, fuck y'all.

A technical design person.
Mm-hmm.
It's called technical design.
But my goal was to have bras where I can go into, like, Target or Walmart somewhere

J.O.N.
That's why I said it out loud so you can know what it's going to look like, though, Jack.
Could you see that, though?
I replaced Takara with me.
That's what I'm saying.
Halfway through the movie.
No, Jack, you take shit too far.
I ain't said nothing about that, bro.
Now we ain't gonna be able to do it.
Now we ain't gonna be able to do it.
Now, that's fucked up, Jack.
Keep your comments to yourself.
God damn it.
Mother.
I need some better friends.
Would you be my friend?
I thought we were friends.
We established that like earlier.
I'm just confirming the shit.
Or I'm still on the friend test.
This is a friend interview?
I'm still trying to figure out what's going to.

What's going on?
This is a TV show?
This is a whole TV show, Takara. We are live.

Anything you want to say to the people?
Yeah. Hey, beautiful people. This is your girl.
The Fabulous, Takara. And I just want to say that,
I just want to say that I'm feeling really good tonight.
And I don't know. And blah, blah, blah.
And blah, blah, blah.
Well, there you have it, folks.
Be on the lookout for me and Takarra movie.
Call your mama left me.
I think I can get Lee Daniels to produce it.
I used to do live TV.
You did?
For what?
I did a show called Take the Cake on BET.
It was a late-night game show, me and Joe Claire.
Joe Cleesey.
Yep, that's my dude right there.
I love Joe.
And we had a lot of fun.
We gave away a lot of money.
Mm-hmm.
Take the cake.
Take the cake.
I get it because you got cake.
No, because he's given.
Oh.
But I do got cake, too.
Yeah, that's a deal with cake.
And I don't do with that.
Hmm.
You look nice.
Thank you.
Very pretty lady.
Thank you.
I look like my grandmother.
I can't be intimidated by your beauty.
Don't be.
Mm-mm.
Okay.
You look like your grandma?
Yeah.
She bad.
Bad.
Been bad.
Being bad.
It's like the 40s.
Baby.
What she said when she saw her grandbaby on the top model?
Oh, man.
She loves me.
She just lived like heresy through me.
Who in your family talked the most shit?
Wow.
Who the biggest shit talking?
Well, my brother calls my mother a verbin assassinator.
A what?
Verbal assassinator.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, she talked big shit.
I like that.
Oh, yeah, Tony Ruther, she don't play no games.
Big dog, big red.
My mom, high yellow.
That's my little sister right there.
They all yellow like that.
Oh, really?
That's my baby sister.
That's her man or that's your other?
No.
That's my assistant.
That's my assistant.
Oh, you got two assistants.
Yeah.
You got an assistant to assist the assistant.
I don't know.
That's big shit, Takar.
I do big things.
For real?
That's name of my company.
So if I was calling you, I would have to call one of them,
and then they're going to call the other one and be like,
called Carlos back.
Yeah, and that's what took so long.
So.
I should have just got your little sister Facebook and told her.
Oh, no, she's a little key.
She got one, though.
She don't.
She got one because they didn't be on there talking shit
and she'd be wanting to say something back.
Oh, yeah, she is that one, but they don't say nothing to her.
They know what's up.
Oh. That's the way that you had to fight for?
No, we're 10 years apart.
So bless her little hard.
She never got in the fight.
Her first fight, she told the girl,
I don't want to fight because Jesus don't, Jesus said not to fight.
Because I'm a Christian.
I'm going to fight.
The girl, she was in Parkside, which is one of the projects.
What's you doing over there as a Christian?
She was in the Geraldine, right?
The stepper, she used to step.
That's my baby, you know what I mean?
The step in the jury team, so they had their practices over there.
And so one of the girls, you know, was jealous of her and wanted to fight her and called her out.
And she looked that baby right in the face.
That girl came in her face.
Oh, thank God that baby didn't hit my baby.
And she told her, she said, I don't fight.
I'm a Christian.
wait till you hear about how they did
geez
she didn't have to fight
she didn't have to fight
it was my little brother I had to fight for
and my brother big too
my brother like 6, 4
he's like
283
damn how
you had to fight for him
you just wanted to fight for him
you ain't have to
well because he was so big
and they were telling me you were going to hurt people
you know like this is when we were growing up
Oh, this to avoid lawsuits and shit.
Okay, that makes sense.
So they're so, you know, don't.
You a bitch.
I make my little sister whoop your ass.
Period.
I'm the big sister, though.

But we all got it. We just got to tap into it. We do. Everybody ain't got it. I've seen some people
have it but didn't have it when they need it. That mean you ain't got it. I seen motherfuckers
be right there. I'm talking about they made it right there. Well, it's possible. They can.
And they just like, all they had to do was do it. Uh-huh. Couldn't even do it. As soon as the
camera went off, guess what they did? They did it. But they didn't do it when the camera was
on. That's true. That is true. Well, yeah, favor ain't fair. You're right. So I'm right.
That's what separates the special people. That's what I told you when you first got here. When you do
