You're so, okay, yeah, I like that one because I was just also thinking of, wasn't that that Janet Jackson song with Missy Elliott? No, she did that with actual homegirl who sang the original. With Joni Mitchell? Yeah.

Or no, is it Joni? Joni Mitchell was Got Till It's Gone with J Dilla. Joni Mitchell did a song with Janet because I listened to it. Hold on. Carly Simon. That's Carly Simon. Okay. Okay.

Son of a Gun. That was the name of the song. Son of a Gun. There you go. Was the Janet Jackson track. Yes, it was. I bet you think the song's about you. That was the name of the song. Son of a Gun was the Janet Jackson track. Yes, it was. I bet you think the song's about you. That video was fucking wild.

Wasn't that video super fucking weird? I could have sworn Missy's in that video. Missy shows up in the most random places, so it wouldn't surprise me. I'm scrolling YouTube trying to see if I can find a clip. Oh, shit. It was featuring Missy Elliottiott yeah i had to go all the way deep into the dailymotion.com that's what i saw too the one place if youtube doesn't have it you damn sure daily motion's got it yes yes she's in the cut off long sleeve deep v

blue jean top okay wow miss janet jackson is an icon what's not play blue jean yeah that's an exercise uh also shout out to dolphin beam on discord for that title because you've completely derailed the show that's how you know it's a good title um so let's see what is trending i'm miles that is joelle monique thank you again for being here on this ride. The CDC has new guidelines. Apparently. If you have vaccinations. That's not me, but shout out to everybody that does.

This sounds cool. Whatever you can do now. What can you do now? Listen, if you are vaccinated and you have loved ones, acquaintances, or can confirm a stranger is fully vaccinated, y'all are good to go in the house together you can close the windows and the doors and enjoy time till you can touch physically people can kick it raw these days i'm uncomfortable with calling it that but yes essentially that's what's good so you know if you're chronically ill and got that shot early if you're an old person you gotta shout out to my parents they're old they got the show they're gonna hate it if

they hear this um i mean if you're in the in the prime of your life right right right those golden years are really shining down on you uh congratulations if you cheated and you're already vaccinated fuck you i don't like you you're the worst kind of person if you are somewhere in the middle of your vaccination process like me or if you haven't quite gotten there yet your city state has not cleared it yet for you to be vaccinated

CDC says you know go ahead and enjoy outdoors with that distance six feet cover the face as has you should have been doing this whole time but you know if not here's a nice reminder. Feel free to just wrap some some fabric, a nice mask around the nose and mouth portion of your face. Get an air hug, you know, from distance and just dream skin to skin. Contact is in your future.

OK, it's going to happen. It's around the corner. So just be patient. You know, get get get high off that eye contact. It's going to happen. It's around the corner. So just be patient. Get high off that eye contact. Y'all are going to be, if you can just look your loved ones in the eye, I think you're lucky. Enjoy that eye contact.

So close. It's so close. We're almost there, guys. Just stick together. Let's not screw it up in the fourth quarter. Okay, let's not get cocky now. Yeah. But then they're all saying, yeah, you can fly too.

Y'all can travel and y'all have to quarantine. It sounds like a cool life. And shout out. Not to say there's no reason to be jealous of anyone with vaccine. But yes, thank God. Thank God for medical advancement. So you don't have to live in mortal fear. If you have, you know, any kind of health condition that could have completely upended your life. Or even if you didn't.

Plenty of recorded information that this virus can affect you no matter who you think you may be no matter how much you think you are weapon x you're busting out of that machine running through the fucking uh what was that canada is that where they were messing with yes that's where they were paying 623 dollars yeah and meanwhile your homie omega red he's like okay i'll see what this motherfucker doing we'll. Wait till I get my fucking tentacles on this. Anyway. Oh, love a good, love a good, uh, reference. Um, hashtag boycott Rolling Stone.

Oh boy. Is what? So? Oh boy. Okay. Okay. So we, we have feelings about it. We talked a little bit about it.

So here, if you want to know why it's trending, I had to know. Jay Penske, who is the owner of Penske Corp, has just found out he's got some dealings with Saudi Arabian government. His father gave $676,000 in donations to a Republican candidate in 2020. That's Trump.

Heads in the game. So people were like, well, Rolling Stone is supposed to be like anti-establishment it's rock and roll man we got a boycott uh if you're gonna boycott rolling stone if you feel uh you know that your principles require you to do so you're also going to need to boycott a variety deadline billboard and the hollywood reporter so you're not getting any entertainment updates or information firsthand i don't know do we have a problem with this should we be boycotting rolling stone i don't

know like what i don't i don't i don't read it i don't care i think the hollywood reporter is straight bullshit i don't fuck with any of the things they make but also like if you're for people who are getting like if you're just finding out this, you may want to look at many of the other things that you are, the freedom you have under consumer capitalism. It's probably the same set of fucked up people who are invested in your demise anyway. But at the very least, Open Secrets is a fantastic resource for anybody who's ever curious. If you want to see someone's political donations, OpenSecrets.org. It's a very useful tool for people to get to the bottom of that because money talks.

Yeah. What else? For all the people who love the hottest Netflix series, the Duke of Hastings is no more. Will not be returning to the next season.

Can I give an, I want to give a dramatic reading of Lady Whistledown's society paper announcement that they did on Twitter for his, his, like, the show.

Yes, because, listen, if Netflix has gotten one thing right it's their social media okay they came in early scooped up all the best social media people shout out to jasmine who is now an executive at i'm just in awe of what netflix has done and how can how can how can i employ her services okay so my shit's weak as shit jasmine was over at giphy when it was first a thing and if you remember all the dope black gifs that suddenly started popping,

that was Jasmine's brain fully at work. Wow. Really? So the Netflix came. Yes. Oh, my God. Jasmine. Thank you.

She's Jasmine B. Knowing on Twitter, if you want to follow her. That's fun. She has incredible style and goes on amazing trips. But also, she's just funny as hell. And so Netflix scooped her up. And then she started the Strong Black lead, which you've probably seen around the netflix she's curated a lot of their early podcasts and now they were like listen this girl's golden she's got to become an executive

now so now she's like executive and content uh so she oh if you enjoyed watching brandy that was jasmine's work the girl's genius wow. Wow. To the hard worker. Jasmine B. Knowing. Don't miss her. She's Jasmine B. Grammon if you're an IG person as opposed to Twitter. Honestly at this point I don't even care about some made up Lady Whistler. I'm talking about Jasmine giving us the gift of black gifts. What? An icon. Anyway

here's my dramatic reading as Lady Whistledown. Please. Dearest readers, while all eyes turn to Lord Anthony Bridgerton's quest to find a viscountess, we bid adieu to Regé-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings. We'll miss Simon's presence on screen,

but he will always be a part of the Bridgerton family. Daphne will remain a devoted wife and sister, helping her brother navigate the upcoming social season and what it has to offer. More intriguing romance than my readers may be able to bear. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown. Oh my God, I live.

I don't care. The show is peak trash. Yeah, straight trash. So it feeds the soul. You need to jump food. Because it has the intensity of like a lost type thing we're like we gotta keep watching i don't know if he's on a nut um and now they're gonna move on to a different

thing which is dope shout out to them and for people there's no there's no shade nothing going on just the way the books are written each book is about a different person in the family so it's not like you're like yo he's fucking up we had to get rid of Regé-Jean I didn't know that's how you said his name either I was like the first time I saw it I was like this it's Regé-Jean Regé-Jean yeah I know Regé-Jean a talented man I'm sure he's gonna go on

to do incredible work spread your wings little baby fly we look forward to seeing you probably topless and more things very soon. Thank you for your contributions to sexy moms everywhere. You know? Yeah. Capitol Hill police is trending.

Unfortunately, there was a Capitol police officer that was killed because and another was injured when someone rammed their vehicle like into them at the Capitol. The suspect was shot and killed. Apparently, he came out with a knife i have no idea you know i'm sure this is going to be developing more but just really awful awful yeah i mean listen i can't imagine trying to be um a capital police officer right now the trauma that those guys are facing post january 6, depending on which side of the insurrection you're on. Yeah, well, you know, yes, yes. Were you one of the gate lifters for the homies

or were you one of the people who had to fight off 90 dudes with a baton? It's gotta suck to be the kind of person who joined the police force to be like, I want to make a really positive difference in my community by presenting I'm going to make good out of this badge and the people to your

left and your right are absolute scum and mob people that are deranged are just coming at you and now people are just driving vehicles into checkpoints it's it's awful i can't eat i don't know i was gonna say thoughts and prayers or something but every word seems silly yeah i mean it's hard because i think and it's not really that our words aren't don't mean anything it's that the people who have the ability to change the outcomes for other people their words mean nothing now right and so like that i think we can't help but think that's we're in the same situation but yes nothing but good vibes thoughts and prayers for those people um and then finally bad baby is trying if you don't

know the worst reason if you don't know bod bobby b-h-a-d-b-h-a-b-i-e you might know her as daniel bergoli aka the cash me outside how about dad dr phil uh young white woman oh my god you know had another just scooted on by being like this is how i talk how about you catch me outside how about that and she had her uh you know her whoever was ghostwriting her rap songs those those actually kind of went uh i was kind of upset that her rap songs were half listenable but i caught myself nodding to one and i said no turn it off we're not doing this so yeah she um she turned 18 five days ago and yes this story is already going in a terribly lecherous direction she went on only fans she started only fans and has already made one million dollars in six hours and this is like just a you know i think part and parcel of our over sexed hyper sexualized

sort of misogynistic culture here where just think of like what this says right if you had if you did if you did a million in sales six hours from when you when the sale when the shop opened imagine what that looked like for any other product right like a video game or something that means people been this has been on your mind for a long time you have been waiting for the phantom menace you have been waiting for the black friday sale you have been waiting for the new video card for your nvidia whatever that whole shit is so to have to make that much money it's like these people like please stop listening after children right first of all don't do that don't keep it leave children alone uh second of all it

is i have when i was ati a lot of friends who were doing the like online sex work but mostly it's because they did not know how they were going to pay their bills right some of them two of them remain in the sex work because that's what that's what they love she's a dominatrix and she's really good at it she really enjoys it long clientele list like that's her main gig money but i want bad baddie to like own her body and be positive about it but i also want creepy people to just like not lust after he's like it's if she had done this a week ago illegal it's a weird it's a weird line and that's why a lot of people are like what the content that's on there what is like when was that made?

Yeah, we don't know. We haven't seen it. I don't know if it's necessarily pornographic in nature or if it's one of those things where it's, like, exclusive photos for your fan set. Yeah, and it's not even, like, really, I mean, again, this is all part and parcel of how we over-sexualize minors in this country just as a culture. That if something's being reflected, you know, like, as a kid, people told me I was funny. So I always gravitated towards comedy because that's where I had positive reinforcement. That's my privilege as a male to like have it not be tied to what I can offer sexually or physically or whatever. But like when you're the same thing like we saw in the Britney Spears document, some things echo to you.

It completely distorts your sense of self. And yeah, I mean, it's like like this whole it's like an l on so many levels but dr phil once again out here tarnishing lives leave people alone stop putting these people on tv this child should have just been a child she's never been a rap star in the first place it's all very strange and. And I, listen, bad Betty, baby, I'm not sure how you say your name, but I really, I hope you have good friends who are holding it down.

I hope you have people who are looking out for your best interests. I hope, you know, you get all the things that you need in life. And if you bought these pictures and you're over 22, I hope you question your life choices I hope you contemplate

why you did that and maybe make better choices in the future yeah anyway we were failing people left and right in this culture or society of ours so yeah let's do better and it's something too like I think

there isn't nearly enough discussion that's like meaningful around this i think people who understand are talking about it but you look on twitter and it's just a bunch of jokes you know and i get that you're gonna make fun of maybe you're like look at these people who are grooming like whatever and these pedophiles but there's a lot of stuff that completely misses the mark in terms of like what this what our society is telling everyone about ourselves. So with that, we shall pivot on to nicer things and remind ourselves that it is Friday. OK, so you got a weekend going. You got something going.

Maybe you work on the weekends and maybe your weekends, Monday and Tuesday, whatever it is, please enjoy your next couple of days. You're whatever you got going on. Whatever it is, please enjoy your next couple of days, your whatever you got going on. If you're, you know, get vaccinated if you can and you're able to without jumping the fucking line. And please wear a mask, wash your hands and don't do nothing about white supremacy. And shout out to my neurodivergent brothers and sisters. It's Autism Awareness Day. Oh, absolutely.

Remember, not a disease, just a lifestyle, a total vibe, an awesome community of people. 100%. Not an affliction. Not something that has someone running at a deficit. So, yes. Shout out to all our artistic community and listeners out there. Shout out to all of you. Until next time, which will be Monday. We'll see you on Monday.

We'll see you then. Bye. Bye. you know, Monday. We'll see you on Monday. We'll see you then. Bye. Kay hasn't heard from her sister in seven years.
