Speaker 1:
[02:24] It is.
Speaker 2:
[02:24] I'm going to let you know right now.
Speaker 1:
[02:26] It is a good time. It's a great time, actually. So don't, don't sleep on us, okay? Come on out. So how you been?
Speaker 2:
[02:37] I've been good. Then Pacca's got hit yesterday, y'all. That's Patreon talk. But I'm good.
Speaker 1:
[02:49] That's Patreon.
Speaker 2:
[02:50] Whoo, goodness gracious.
Speaker 1:
[02:51] That's why we actually didn't shoot on our normal day. The reason why we're here at the house is we had a home repair to do. Let me tell you, it sucked. But-
Speaker 2:
[03:02] Why you need your savings account? Just throw that money over for the just in case. The just in case happened, and it's all our fault.
Speaker 1:
[03:11] We know. That's why you need to be rich, okay? Bump everything else. Get paid, get your money up, all right? Sling dope. No, but don't do that. No, no.
Speaker 2:
[03:24] Unless you're a drug pusher, the people, the pharmaceutical salesmen, salespersons.
Speaker 1:
[03:28] Well, it's not dope that they're slinging.
Speaker 2:
[03:29] That's what they call them, drug pushers. Sell drugs.
Speaker 1:
[03:34] Drugs ain't going out of style. They not.
Speaker 2:
[03:39] How you doing?
Speaker 1:
[03:41] I'm going to tell you what, unless you...
Speaker 2:
[03:42] Because you're usually just talking so much. I mean, you're just going right into it.
Speaker 1:
[03:46] You just forget. I'm doing okay. This is what I was going to say. Unless I have annoyed him during... He won't push. He won't push the conversation forward. He just sit here waiting for it to happen to you. I'm doing okay. In the last week of the Cotillion, Botillion, got some one important thing that has not arrived yet. And once that arrives, you can't tell me nothing.
Speaker 2:
[04:17] Some of you voted?
Speaker 1:
[04:19] The programs.
Speaker 2:
[04:21] Oh, that's right. Do you have an update on their locality?
Speaker 1:
[04:26] So they're in the US. They have been picked up by FedEx, but it's not showing that on my tracker. So I've been talking to my Chinaman. Hopefully, that's not racist to say. Chinaman.
Speaker 2:
[04:40] Your contact?
Speaker 1:
[04:41] Well, he's from China is the reason why I'm saying.
Speaker 2:
[04:43] You can just call him your contact.
Speaker 1:
[04:45] No, no, no. I'm making it-
Speaker 2:
[04:46] Where he's from should not matter, Angel.
Speaker 1:
[04:48] It does because that gives context to the story. My Chinese vendor, and the reason why, and I mean Chinese, not like, oh, Chinese American. We've been in contact with each other like a lot to make sure that everything's-
Speaker 2:
[05:04] Yeah, no, they're going to show up with a bunch of markings on there that we don't understand.
Speaker 1:
[05:09] So it's been in the US since the 15th, and it had to go through customs. Where is my shipment? Because the books are a wow factor. Wow. Our Patreon bought two pages. Another Angel Wing bought a whole page by themselves. That Angel Wing is actually coming to the event, bought tickets. Then a couple of other Angel Wings bought separate half page. So anyways, once that comes in, I fit into my dress that I haven't worn in years, bought that dress five years ago. So before my boobs got bigger, so I was a little nervous.
Speaker 2:
[06:01] That big ass red thing is taking up most of the closet?
Speaker 1:
[06:03] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[06:04] Yeah, this thing is like, y'all seen that, what's that movie called? I don't know, it's got the big ass trolls in it with the big tusk. Warcraft. It's like a big red Warcraft ogre standing over in the corner. That's how massive that dress is.
Speaker 1:
[06:23] It's so pretty.
Speaker 2:
[06:25] Yeah, the shipping thing can be, look, y'all, I ordered, this is back, was this pandemic or pre-pandemic, post-pandemic? I don't know. I think it was post-pandemic. I ordered a treadmill and this thing, I can't remember where it came from, but it finally made it to California. And or maybe it was in California, I don't know, but it was at a facility. And it sat at that facility for about a week and a half. And finally, I knew it was at the facility, just kept giving the names. So I did my research and find out the address of the facility. I drove about an hour and a half, maybe two hours to that warehouse. Wouldn't hardly nobody working. I had my little number. They said it was one or two people that saw me in there. They was like, excuse me, what are you doing? I said, I'm looking for my shipment. It's been sitting here for weeks. I just want the thing that I ordered. So they ended up pulling out the forklift, moving a bunch of pilots and getting, and I ended up, I loaded it up, but they wouldn't even help me load it up. But they was like, you ain't supposed to be back here. I don't care. Y'all moving too slow. Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[07:34] So I was just praying.
Speaker 2:
[07:35] Find out where they are. We're going to have to go get them.
Speaker 1:
[07:38] I wish I knew. I've been talking to my man. He may, he might still be awake. Let me see.
Speaker 2:
[07:45] Here you go.
Speaker 1:
[07:47] Do you know where that ex picked them up from? Because you know they're about to go sleep. They're about to go night night. That's what it is. So anyways, got family members coming in because of it. My mother-in-law just got here to Cali. So hopefully, y'all will see her here soon or via the interwebs, see her. Marcus has got to go take her shopping to get her dress because...
Speaker 2:
[08:21] Yeah, I'll let you know. The thing is crooked. Go ahead.
Speaker 1:
[08:24] What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:
[08:25] Go ahead. Don't you think it's important?
Speaker 1:
[08:27] What's crooked?
Speaker 2:
[08:28] You already interrupted. The thing is like the table, it ain't lined up with us.
Speaker 1:
[08:33] It's...
Speaker 2:
[08:34] see that?
Speaker 1:
[08:35] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[08:35] That shows it. That's crooked.
Speaker 1:
[08:38] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[08:40] You might as well knock the...
Speaker 1:
[08:43] But our bodies aren't... It's because...
Speaker 2:
[08:45] I want to adjust it. It don't matter.
Speaker 1:
[08:47] No, you brought it up. Listen. Because I'm sitting further forward than you, I would need to sit back in order for the table to be what we're using. We would have to be on even planes. But we're not. So, Marcus has got to take her shopping because she ain't got her dress.
Speaker 2:
[09:06] Yeah, she didn't know the rules. I don't know what mama didn't do, but we got to go get her a dress.
Speaker 1:
[09:14] She didn't do anything. She didn't buy a ticket.
Speaker 2:
[09:17] No, I told her not to buy a ticket.
Speaker 1:
[09:18] Right.
Speaker 2:
[09:18] She didn't do nothing. She went to get a dress and didn't know the rules and didn't know it was supposed to be black.
Speaker 1:
[09:24] Right. The only way she would have known is if she bought her own ticket. Because the rules were on the ticket. Yeah. So it's not her fault that she didn't know. You didn't tell her.
Speaker 2:
[09:39] You didn't tell her. This is your thing.
Speaker 1:
[09:41] She has to talk to me.
Speaker 2:
[09:42] You won't talk to her.
Speaker 1:
[09:44] I have. I've called her at her job.
Speaker 2:
[09:45] You didn't call her.
Speaker 1:
[09:46] Yes, I have. They were like, Marcus out here in these streets. She's not here.
Speaker 2:
[09:50] Probably.
Speaker 1:
[09:51] I would like, like mother, like son. Show them, give me that book real quick.
Speaker 2:
[10:07] Come up out there, talk to the people.
Speaker 1:
[10:08] I am, this has to do with this. So, it's not this thick, but it's like giving this type of quality and color. You know, how much you think this would have cost to print in America?
Speaker 2:
[10:24] I don't know.
Speaker 1:
[10:26] All this color. These books got to be about $50 a piece. At least.
Speaker 2:
[10:35] Probably.
Speaker 1:
[10:36] Our books are half this size. Well, a third of this size. And I only have to pay $8 to get them printed.
Speaker 2:
[10:44] Y'all talking about $500 a piece?
Speaker 1:
[10:48] Well, this is, if you're only printing one.
Speaker 2:
[10:51] Oh yeah, it might cost you that. Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[10:53] It will cost about $500.
Speaker 2:
[10:55] But you get it over in China. They might not even use wood. They might use bamboo. Why don't we use more bamboo? I don't understand that.
Speaker 1:
[11:03] How readily is it?
Speaker 2:
[11:05] Bamboo grows extremely fast.
Speaker 1:
[11:09] But how readily, where is it manufactured? Meaning how readily?
Speaker 2:
[11:15] You can grow bamboo anywhere like you can trees. It's probably easier to grow bamboo.
Speaker 1:
[11:20] I thought bamboo had to have a lot more water.
Speaker 2:
[11:23] No. That bamboo and that stuff, you remember it was a building that I used to work at, and they had it on the side of the building, and that stuff grew. They were cutting those things because they would grow up taller than the building. They were cutting it like two, three times a year because it would grow so fast. That's why, and it's harder. Bamboo is more durable.
Speaker 1:
[11:45] What environment does, I didn't spell environment right, what environment does bamboo grow best in?
Speaker 2:
[11:58] You create the environment.
Speaker 1:
[12:01] I know. I want to know what the environment is. What environment has to be created is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:
[12:11] Bamboo is better in every way.
Speaker 1:
[12:13] Yeah. California and Florida will be the two places that bamboo.
Speaker 2:
[12:17] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[12:17] With rock.
Speaker 2:
[12:18] Oh, that's what we need. We need to buy some land. You know how people started, what they call it, I was going to say manufacturing, putting up farms for avocados and stuff?
Speaker 1:
[12:32] No, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2:
[12:34] You don't keep up with nothing.
Speaker 1:
[12:38] Finish your statement.
Speaker 2:
[12:40] We need to get to do that, and so we can plant some damn bamboo stocks.
Speaker 1:
[12:44] And then do what?
Speaker 2:
[12:46] Sell it.
Speaker 1:
[12:48] To who?
Speaker 2:
[12:49] The people that want it.
Speaker 1:
[12:53] I'm saying, who are those people? Who are those type of people?
Speaker 2:
[12:58] The people that make stuff. Hold on, let me get this. Talk to the people.
Speaker 1:
[13:02] You see how much description he gave me. Sell it to the people who want it.
Speaker 2:
[13:07] It's second nature to me because I grew up around tobacco farmers and corn farmers, and you have these things, so you have people that need it. You find out where that stuff is sold at.
Speaker 1:
[13:18] I don't know who are the types of people that need it.
Speaker 2:
[13:20] You find out where it's sold at and you sell it to them. I'm ready to get up. Oh, shit.
Speaker 1:
[13:25] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[13:28] Yeah. And you sell it to them. You find out where that market is, like where they go to buy it.
Speaker 1:
[13:33] I'm thinking you know what type of companies.
Speaker 2:
[13:36] I'm at the top of my head. Those things you got to research, but there's a market for it. See, this is why we held back people like this. They just don't, Lord Jesus.
Speaker 1:
[13:45] He's just saying random. You know, we should grow pigs and then sell them. No, you don't hear about somebody that's growing pigs. They're going to be like, see, they doing this. Either be on the show or be off the show.
Speaker 2:
[13:57] They're going to be like, shut up.
Speaker 1:
[14:00] Let me say, let me just... This is why I shouldn't have gave him none last night, because I knew he was going to act up this morning. I knew he was going to act up this morning. I gave him some last night. And so now he thinks he knows what we're talking about. And it's just... Why? And so I love him so much because of it.
Speaker 2:
[14:28] Kiss my ass.
Speaker 1:
[14:30] You see, I said something positive.
Speaker 2:
[14:31] You didn't say nothing positive.
Speaker 1:
[14:33] I said because I love you. Anyway, so I'm excited for that to...
Speaker 2:
[14:44] Crops, that's what I was trying to think. Grow crops, that's a bamboo crop. I couldn't think of the word. Anyhow, go ahead with what you're saying.
Speaker 1:
[14:53] Don't touch me when you're stupid. Anyways, excited for that to be over. Are you, do you, how do you think it's gonna look? How do you think it's gonna turn out?
Speaker 2:
[15:03] It's gonna look nice.
Speaker 1:
[15:06] You think so?
Speaker 2:
[15:07] Yeah, you will never hear otherwise. It's gonna look absolutely, extraordinarily beautiful.
Speaker 1:
[15:13] Well, that's...
Speaker 2:
[15:14] Cause I know the work you put in to it. To me, it's gonna look very nice. I'm gonna walk in and be impressed regardless.
Speaker 1:
[15:22] That's not what I...
Speaker 2:
[15:23] Not in a like, oh, but it's like, it's gonna look nice. It better. It damn well better.
Speaker 1:
[15:30] It better.
Speaker 2:
[15:30] Lord, geez, y'all don't understand. Y'all have no idea.
Speaker 1:
[15:35] They might.
Speaker 2:
[15:36] You don't.
Speaker 1:
[15:37] No, they might.
Speaker 2:
[15:37] They think they might.
Speaker 1:
[15:38] There are a lot of high functioning people on our podcast that do amazing things, that understand, oh, this took a lot of effort. Took a lot of work. Yeah. Let me tell you about this recent experience. My husband wasn't able to go with me. Well, my husband, I don't invite him to do any other... I'm giving him about two years off, two to three years off from having to do any Jack and Jill stuff, so that he can get, other than the camping trip, because you still thoroughly enjoy that. And right before, a couple of minutes before he was getting ready to go up, I said, are you nervous? He said, yes, I just got a little nervous. And I was like, you ain't got to be. This is not the room that you need to be nervous in. Like, this is not that room at all. Everybody is here to dode on you, like, period. He did his speech and got a standing ovation from a bunch of the, and the thing is, I wasn't even paying, because I was filming him and just sitting there like a good mama. And I wasn't even paying attention to the people who, I knew they better clap. But when I noticed that, because this is how I started off. I said, all right, at this next point in time of the program, I need to give you all some house rules. I said, I know y'all done got y'all's chicken and your salmon, and it tastes so good. I said, but you better stop chewing. And I need all your eyes up here.
Speaker 2:
[17:30] I don't even need to hear you blink.
Speaker 1:
[17:31] Right. A side conversation, I don't want to hear it. I said, because you're going to give this next speaker their undivided attention. And his resume sounded fire, because I had Chat write his bio based off of all the things. It sounded fine. But they were like, oh, huh, okay. And all the moments that I told him, I said, listen, black adults, they're going to respond to these moments. So he does this really dope, this really funny impersonation of Donald Trump in the middle of his speech that nobody was expecting. When I tell you they gave mouth open laughs on that part.
Speaker 2:
[18:18] I kept telling him, you need to pause right there. It's like sitcom, pause and wait, because people don't laugh.
Speaker 1:
[18:25] And there were moments that, and at the end where it gets like more built up, right? It's like, you know, black folk love a good metaphor and analogy that like summarizes like how we feel our greatness and all that stuff. So when we worked on the end, I was like, okay, you know, we got to wrap it up, we got to get to the climax or whatever. Baby, they were hooting, hollering, he's just railroading down that thing.
Speaker 2:
[18:54] What's she like?
Speaker 1:
[18:55] I gotta tell them.
Speaker 2:
[18:56] Slow it down.
Speaker 1:
[18:57] Wait, like let them, they still whoop whooping about that point.
Speaker 2:
[19:01] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[19:02] Shut up because you have another point that they're going to whoop whoop about.
Speaker 2:
[19:06] That's all the nervousness and not being comfortable.
Speaker 1:
[19:09] But yeah, he was definitely nervous. And, but what was great is that you could definitely tell some of the teen girls were like... And he definitely noticed, which I was so proud. I was like, good job, dad. Good job. His plus one who was another friend, I mean, another Jack and Jill child, he was like, I was too tired to notice. I said, I said, I said, no, they definitely.
Speaker 2:
[19:44] But you got to understand, y'all see how tall Marcus is. Marcus is probably like 6'2, 6'3. The other plus one who's also a junior in high school is taller than me.
Speaker 1:
[19:54] He's 6'8.
Speaker 2:
[19:55] He's 6'8, a junior in high school. His dad's like 6'8. They have another son, I think, that's taller than both of them.
Speaker 1:
[20:04] No, he's way shorter.
Speaker 2:
[20:06] Is he the shorter one? Oh, the older one is the shorter one, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:
[20:09] Yeah. And so he was like, yeah, I didn't need to...
Speaker 2:
[20:12] 6'8, I think the dad might be taller than the son. I'm not sure. I can't remember.
Speaker 1:
[20:16] No.
Speaker 2:
[20:16] But that's a tall, even the momma's tall.
Speaker 1:
[20:18] The momma's tall as well, yeah. The dad's not taller than the son, though. He's surpassed his dad.
Speaker 2:
[20:23] Did he?
Speaker 1:
[20:24] Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[20:26] So, I mean, he's probably 6'7. Yeah, he's probably like 6'7.5. So, he may have half an inch on him or something.
Speaker 1:
[20:36] We did, we invited them to this sneaker lounge that we did for our two bows in Crown and Rooted. We invited Tim and his son.
Speaker 2:
[20:48] Two bows.
Speaker 1:
[20:49] Our bows are Marcus and Aiden.
Speaker 2:
[20:51] Oh.
Speaker 1:
[20:52] Because it's a bowtillion, so they're the bows. B-E-A-U.
Speaker 2:
[20:58] Bow.
Speaker 1:
[21:00] So, there are two bows in the bowtillion, right? And so, for the sneaker lounge, I just thought it would be way too intimate just to have them two and their dads. So, I invited two additional boys and their fathers. And I wanted boys who had similar energy to the two bows. So, Dominic and his dad were two dads that I invited. And then, a man who did a scholarship workshop with the Cotillion participants, and his son came. And I want you to know that the shortest person there was six foot. All the boys were tall.
Speaker 2:
[21:44] Yeah, except for the one dude and his son.
Speaker 1:
[21:48] Yeah, his son is six foot.
Speaker 2:
[21:50] Is he?
Speaker 1:
[21:51] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[21:52] Are we talking about the same people?
Speaker 1:
[21:54] There's only four boys that were there. I thought that boy was short. No, six foot.
Speaker 2:
[21:59] Yeah, everybody was tall.
Speaker 1:
[22:00] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[22:01] Because we had a sprinter, we had Vinny, a sprinter came to pick us up to take everybody over there. And we needed that.
Speaker 1:
[22:11] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[22:12] Because everybody was tall.
Speaker 1:
[22:16] The shortest person was six foot tall of that group. Because Aiden, who's also in the Botillion, he's an inch taller than Marcus, maybe an inch and a half. And some of that is hair. But he's not-
Speaker 2:
[22:29] Most of that is probably hair.
Speaker 1:
[22:31] Him and Marcus are now, Marcus kind of caught up to him, are about the same height. So anyways, I say all that to say, they just have very calm demeanors, very nice. And I was like, they're not doing anything to really pick up what these baby girls is putting down. Because they were. The girls was dressed, they looked cute. It was like five girls, and only three boys, one boy was a twin of one of the girls. So he's already, he's not in the playing field with one of the babies. She tried to be slick. One of the babies I already knew. She's, I know her through another program. And me and her chatted it up because me and her, like we recognized each other, but we couldn't figure out where. And then once I talked to the mama, I was like, I know your baby. Anyways, she asked her mom in front of me and made sure that her mother did not move from me because her mother was about to move off. She was like, no, no, no, no, no. She's like, mom, I've got a good idea. There's an ice cream shop that's not far, that stays open until 2 a.m. I was like, all right, Marcus, let's go here and take his photo so we can get about it.
Speaker 2:
[23:57] Everybody was tired.
Speaker 1:
[23:58] Dom was like, I would have told you, Miss Angel, please.
Speaker 2:
[24:02] Oh, yeah, Dom's already extremely low energy, but he was just like, I will fall asleep standing here. When they showed up before they left, he was already exhausted.
Speaker 1:
[24:12] Tired, because I think they did an overnight thing at the school. So he was at his school through the night, till the next, almost like a lock-in.
Speaker 2:
[24:22] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[24:24] So yeah, he was tired. But listen, Marcus might pull a prom date out of that group of girls, because you know his prom is coming up, but he's trying to figure out who he's going to ask, because he's determined to go with a date.
Speaker 2:
[24:37] I'm so glad.
Speaker 1:
[24:38] I love it.
Speaker 2:
[24:39] So glad.
Speaker 1:
[24:40] I love it. So I'm trying to figure out who. The question is, should he ask somebody who is a friend, but chance them being like, no, because I don't want you to get the wrong impression, or go even further out of like pocket, ask someone who's an acquaintance, they might really be like, oh, okay, well, cool.
Speaker 2:
[25:07] Yeah, he, he don't have to like, like when I was at house school, I could have easily asked it, asked, asked it.
Speaker 1:
[25:14] I know. I was like, wow.
Speaker 2:
[25:16] Asked a girl that was a friend and thank, and been like, hey, you want to go to prom together? Yeah, we could go, we have fun. And it'd be nothing about it. Marcus don't have a relationship with a lot of girls. But too, I, I'm not, I'm not used to, I saw girls do it when I was in high school. Like they would go to prom with like a group of girls. I never saw guys do that.
Speaker 1:
[25:38] Oh.
Speaker 2:
[25:39] That was never in, and this is what these kids be doing. They just go in their friend groups. It'd be a bunch of guys, a bunch of girls. I'm like, what? This is strange to me.
Speaker 1:
[25:48] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[25:49] Like I was just all out front taking pictures in front of the rental car or whatever, or your mom and parents' car with a bunch of people. Like, no, that's supposed to be your date. You're supposed to have a date. But so now I'm extremely excited that he's like determined to find a date, which he'll be able to do. I think he'll be able to do.
Speaker 1:
[26:09] So what approach? So he has, he could ask K, he could ask A, but he doesn't feel comfortable asking A, or go more random.
Speaker 2:
[26:22] I think he should go more random.
Speaker 1:
[26:23] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[26:24] But he got to start now.
Speaker 1:
[26:26] No, I definitely.
Speaker 2:
[26:27] Because the problem is when?
Speaker 1:
[26:29] 17th of obviously not this month.
Speaker 2:
[26:31] Yeah, he got to start now.
Speaker 1:
[26:33] So my question would be random from on the Delta side or random on Jack and Jill side?
Speaker 2:
[26:45] The Delta side.
Speaker 1:
[26:47] You don't even know. And I mean like from another chapter, not only from my chapter.
Speaker 2:
[26:52] Yeah, I don't know. Random is random at this point.
Speaker 1:
[26:59] I think he would feel, go ahead and answer your mom's call. I think he would feel too uncomfortable. You gonna let her go to voicemail? Okay. I think he would feel way too uncomfortable asking somebody from our chapter of Jack and Jill. Like he barely talks to those girls and being that he has to do activities with them. I think he, they're random in Delta, like meaning I know these little girls because of Delta, that wouldn't feel as random one because a lot of those girls know girls that go to his school. So like, while he still has to do the heavy lifting of making sure they have a good time, they won't be like, I don't know anybody here. Versus somebody from our chapter of Jack and Jill, he's going to have to do for real all the heavy lifting without the full blown desire of pursuing anything further, and they won't know anybody. Where if we do random from a completely different Jack and Jill chapter of somebody that he just finds cute, he'll still do the heavy lifting, but also be like, well, I'm trying to see.
Speaker 2:
[28:29] Yeah. Being that he did it once from scratch. He met A, they exchanged information, got cool, hey, would you like to go here? Went, she was impressed.
Speaker 1:
[28:42] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[28:43] Like, yay, you there. So, she's got to repeat now. You got, I mean, everybody don't have her energy.
Speaker 1:
[28:49] Right. So, there is one young lady, and this one is going to be a, I don't know, this is going to be a long shot. What's so funny is that there are certain people he's been around that don't realize how much personality he has. For instance, I was with my Cotillion and Botillion participants this weekend, and we played Werewolf, right? And if you all are part of Kevin's Patreon and have been for a while, you will know that we used to do game nights. And one of the games that has been played at game night, I never played it, was, I never played it with them, was Werewolf. And the way I play Werewolf, when I am the narrator, is I for real create a full blown town. I make everybody create a character, right? Like you have to introduce your character at the beginning. Usually the town I create is actually a convention that's happening, so that visitors from other places can also be in the town, right? So we decide to play it with the group, because this weekend was about relaxation before the big gala. So anyways, I'm explaining to them the rules. They pretty much already know it because they know Mafia, but I'm explaining the things that are different than Mafia, explaining them the powers that different cards have. Anyways, I explain to them, now, when we do this, you have to be a character, okay? You got to go full in. So when I started out, I'm like, hi, you guys, my name is Amelia and welcome to the International Convention for Crafters here in Arkansas. So glad that you are all here, and I would love to hear about you and what your craft is. Now, in order for them to understand how far I wanted them to go, I told little Marcus, I said, I need you to be the first person to introduce yourself. So this is before we start. I said, so you can set the tone. So I said, oh, you young man in the blue, tell us about yourself. He said, well, my name is Bartholomew, and I just am in this town trying to have peace and quiet. That's all I want. When I tell you the way that group hollered, they screamed because they are so not used to hearing the boy talk. They were like, what? So anyway, a lot of them were shocked because he's a quiet one. So I don't know. Him asking one girl, I just, first of all, I gotta see if she got a boyfriend.
Speaker 2:
[31:42] The one that he said is cute. Yeah, I didn't, like I told y'all last week, I didn't, I haven't seen the personality on any of these girls, other than the ones that I actually know. So, but when I got there, Angel was not in a good mood and everybody was stressed. Because I even walked in and I was just like, did anybody get in trouble?
Speaker 1:
[32:06] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[32:06] So, I don't know, I don't know anything about these babies.
Speaker 1:
[32:11] They're all sweet. They're all sweet. And again, ain't nobody going to act up when it comes to my child, out of the people that, because none of them won't, Jesus.
Speaker 2:
[32:26] I know this.
Speaker 1:
[32:27] None of them won't smoke from me. They all want to be loved by me and they should because I love well. But I also give smoke even Shanka. So I don't know. We gon see. We gon see. We are going to see, oh Lord, if he ends up going to prom with somebody because he wants to. And we not flying in his best friend, Harper. That's what I do know. Lover to pieces. But we ain't, we ain't spending no ticket, flying nobody in to Texas, from Texas. Lover to pieces. I'm trying to think of who else is an option. I'm like, who? Here's the problem. I have multiple friends who have daughters, my child's age, and though almost every single last one of those friends, their, their, what you call it? What's my brain? Hold on, let me, let me. Their daughters go to school with my child. So like he could ask one of them, it's mid May, Alexandra. He could ask one of them, right? He could. Maybe he should ask his god sister. If he just wants to date, and it ain't got to be on no like, romantic tip, if he just wants to date, now who I would fly in is my niece, my goddaughter. And I think they would have a great time. But is that weird? Is that weird? I don't know. Is that, tell me, is that weird? Because I feel like it's less weird when you're just taking a friend, because if that's your platonic friend, it's just your platonic friend. Because they would have fun is the thing. Because my thing is, if he's just going to take somebody to take somebody, at least take someone you're going to have fun with. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'd rather, because he does not want to go by himself. He wants to go with a date. So I feel like if he's like, this is my god sister. I don't know. Uh, yeah. Well, they're not going, the thing is, they won't slow dance. They're just going to be vibing. They would just be vibing. Because here's the thing. I don't think it would be thought of as weird if she took him to her prom. I don't think it would be weird, but I could see how it might be weird for him to ask her. I agree. I think I agree with you all. Because I said, I said, would it be weird for him to take, is it weird to take like a family member? Like, if you just like, we just about to have a good time. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:
[36:18] Yes, I know.
Speaker 1:
[36:20] See, the same, because I was like, I said, while I would never fly out Harper, I would fly out Layla, Erica's daughter, because I think they would have a blast. Like, they actually have when now, when they're around each other, they actually have a really good time with each other. Like, their vibe, their energy is perfectly matched. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I know they'll have great conversation.
Speaker 2:
[36:55] I'm talking about, like, because I can see his location.
Speaker 1:
[36:58] They'll have fun. He can literally introduce her to his friends and be able to, like, keep up. And, like, if they're weird, she would call it out, like, y'all are weird. And Marcus would just laugh.
Speaker 2:
[37:16] And she would be telling the truth.
Speaker 1:
[37:18] Right. So I don't know. It's the thing of, like... If he wants to take a date, I want him to take a date. But I don't want him to take a date, and it ruined the good time he could have.
Speaker 2:
[37:36] I don't think it will. I think he, like, he needs to go by a little while and find either one of these... Out of the two organizations.
Speaker 1:
[37:50] One of the Delta Babies.
Speaker 2:
[37:51] One of the Delta Babies or one of these chicks he needs at a track meet. Just open your eyes and start putting out fillers. Come up out of that damn phone like I always tell him.
Speaker 1:
[38:03] You're right, Redhead with a smile. If he takes his god sister, he's not practicing asking a girl out. You're right. You're right. Oh, I can't wait to see what option he goes with.
Speaker 2:
[38:21] That'll be interesting.
Speaker 1:
[38:24] But yeah, he definitely would not ask anybody from this current. I'm like going through the rostrum Jack and Jill girls. He would definitely not, even though at least two, maybe three of them would say yes. They would absolutely say yes.
Speaker 2:
[38:44] Out of which one?
Speaker 1:
[38:46] From the Jack and Jill chapter we're in.
Speaker 2:
[38:49] I couldn't remember you saying Jack and Jill or Delta.
Speaker 1:
[38:51] Yeah, three of them would say yes, for sure. He would just be like, we will have nothing to talk about. We are not. It's not, we don't even converse when we're in front of each other.
Speaker 2:
[39:03] Right, yeah, that's why I'm like, I don't...
Speaker 1:
[39:05] I don't, he...
Speaker 2:
[39:06] That's why I said not them, the ones that, you know, chapters that we're in, in the location. Just because I've seen the way they interact and all that. So it's like, no.
Speaker 1:
[39:22] Oh, no, he didn't go to anybody's prom, Johnny. So he did Homecoming. You all, if you all follow me on Instagram, it was finally posted. He went to Homecoming with Ashley of Watermelon and Egg Rolls. She's also from The Momma's Den, her oldest daughter, Amira. She came to his Homecoming. They had a good time and Johnny does it thoroughly. The only reason why he's like, I'm not sure about asking her to promise, because he's like, him and her don't talk as much online. Like they used to, they used to chat it up every day.
Speaker 2:
[39:58] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[39:58] So he's like, it might feel odd to just be like, hey girl, come on back to this situation. So with that being said, I see you got it.
Speaker 2:
[40:12] All right.
Speaker 1:
[40:14] I got to jump off of here anyways. With that being said, I get what he's saying. He's like, this might be weird to ask her because it's not as if he has, it's not like they've been nurturing that friendship the way.
Speaker 2:
[40:31] Yeah, and to do something that, I ain't going to say intimate, but that.
Speaker 1:
[40:36] Well, significant.
Speaker 2:
[40:37] Significant, yeah.
Speaker 1:
[40:38] Like homecoming.
Speaker 2:
[40:40] I mean, the homecoming was a pretty big deal, but like you said, the communication has fallen off.
Speaker 1:
[40:45] Right.
Speaker 2:
[40:45] If they kept that same energy and still talking, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
Speaker 1:
[40:52] So I'm trying to figure out how many other opportunities he has to be around other young ladies. He doesn't. So listen, I'm going to, I think I'm going to encourage him. I'll be like, look at, listen, your mama's around a bunch of young ladies all the time. Figure it out.
Speaker 2:
[41:17] Look, let me tell you. Good thing my mama wasn't. My mama would be quick when she did, have you met my son? Like I didn't need no help. None of us did.
Speaker 1:
[41:30] That's what, that was me though, this weekend. I said, once me and the young lady figured out, we knew each other.
Speaker 2:
[41:40] Because I've been like, mama, who's that? Oh, that's so-and-so's daughter. Come on.
Speaker 1:
[41:46] Okay. Once we knew, I said, her and her sibling, who was a boy, I said, come here. Want y'all to meet my child. Right. So I do the introduction. Then the other, I said, now, who are y'all? The other girls. I said, this is my child. Okay. I said, what grade are you in? I said, oh, he's a junior too. So is he as well. Uh-huh. One girl.
Speaker 2:
[42:11] I had all of them conversations going on already.
Speaker 1:
[42:14] One girl, she tells me a little bit more. I said, oh, pretty girl. I was really like, she was, she looked like she was waiting to be scooped up. My child. Hey.
Speaker 2:
[42:25] Hey.
Speaker 1:
[42:26] I think if he didn't have to do a thing, I think I could have easily been like, I could have easily been like, but because he needed to focus on his script, I was just.
Speaker 2:
[42:40] He's comfortable going with himself. He doesn't want to. He wants a date. He wants to take a date and not his friend, his guy friends.
Speaker 1:
[42:48] And the thing is, he can get a yes.
Speaker 2:
[42:50] Yeah, he can definitely, he can easily get a yes. He just wants to get the right yes from the right person, and not just, I just need a date.
Speaker 1:
[43:00] Yeah, so this is going to be, yeah, me and him going to talk, because I'm going to be like, hey, you might need to pull the trigger on the one that I didn't even know was a, I just have to, I have to do some research around the backside to be like, hey, what's this situation? Before my baby put himself out there, what's this situation look like? Because if it's operation normal, because I think that baby would be like, first shock, like what? Also flattered, even though I don't think, I don't think my child is this baby's type, I still think she'll be super flattered.
Speaker 2:
[43:39] Yeah, a lot of these girls like white ants.
Speaker 1:
[43:41] Yes. And I think that might be her type.
Speaker 2:
[43:44] But they'll learn, they'll learn probably somewhere in college that, oh, let me, let me shift gears.
Speaker 1:
[43:52] But I think would be like, and what I love is that just like Amir did, she would shut that thing down. She would come dressed, and I'd be like, I'd be like, that's right. You're going on my baby's arm. You better come correct. So anyways, I have to go.
Speaker 2:
[44:13] That's one thing I always enjoy.
Speaker 1:
[44:15] What?
Speaker 2:
[44:16] And I enjoy it after the fact. I get turned down by the girls that like the back then, why we were the original YN, the back then YNs, and then after high school, they're, oh, hey, back up.
Speaker 1:
[44:28] Because you were too good.
Speaker 2:
[44:30] You go on and get your little drug dealer that you was wanting.
Speaker 1:
[44:34] They didn't know you used to sell it?
Speaker 2:
[44:36] Shut up. I didn't. God dang, girl. All right, y'all.
Speaker 1:
[44:41] You my oldie.
Speaker 2:
[44:44] Make sure y'all come catch us on tour. Y'all know the cities. We're going to be in Chicago, LA, Atlanta, DC, and Philly. Y'all come on through. We're going to do the damn thing. Angel be talking too much.
Speaker 1:
[45:01] What? I had to talk.
Speaker 2:
[45:03] No, no. You be saying too much.
Speaker 1:
[45:06] Oh, they, the picture on already know.
Speaker 2:
[45:08] They, they, they don't.
Speaker 1:
[45:11] Well, you can always remove it. You, the editor.
Speaker 2:
[45:15] See you in Chicago. Absolutely. I holler at y'all. Thank God, mama's family in that god damn car. Y'all have a good one, fam.
Speaker 1:
[45:24] You already knew what was going to happen. Bye.
