3:10you like always like always we're in the building it's a little gloomy outside but we are not gloomy no we are sunshine and roses not yes we are not for sure snow is no longer here everything's melted for the most part no okay that one of my shady moments is something that's not melted oh shit okay yeah we might as well just get into it okay okay so i went to go this was this was three days ago okay i go to Baltimore to cow's spot to get my hair done have you ever been in his spot okay yeah so you know so it's like a strip mall type thing so it's like a building with a bunch a bunch of a bunch of parking spaces right okay yeah so whenever snow i guess the person i decided to like clean up the snow and like make it so that we could use the parking lot right they put a all the snow in the middle of the parking lot oh

4:14and it's maybe 20 feet high like it's the biggest mound of snow i've ever seen okay so it's like 20 feet high it's taken about 10 15 parking spaces right why wouldn't you push all the snow to like this far right or far away that why wouldn't they do that because they're lazy so wait so so it's in the middle so then yeah they're parking spots open behind it there's parking a little bit behind it but it's right in the middle so there's parking on the side a little bit in the front a little bit in the back but because the sparkline is huge yeah but y'all put the entire mound of snow 20 feet high in the middle of the parking lot so imagine going to like target warm on and the snow is all in the middle right there's the dumbest shit i've ever seen right so i'm like how who did this and he's like like i know right i said this is definitely a man right no woman absolutely never think this is smart right this it's the best place to put the snow yes like they should have put him

5:16put it all around the outside around the edges on the outside and then you wouldn't be taking up all these parking spaces right yeah so this is the work of idiots yeah um and so i said this note is going to because it's 20 feet high it's going to be here until August right that's the problem and it's hard it's a rock yes and it's a big piece it's like a it's like out ice mountain right yes it is slide off the back of that thing get your sword it is it is crazy but um yes that is my shady moment it's it's the stupidity of idiots yeah that are not women right the end we know it's me we know we know we are clear we know yes okay so my shady moment is just i don't know what is going on with the postal service okay they have been losing packages left and right like out of control and i'm talking about packages of people ordering reasonably shady merch really yes in my embellished hats like we keep getting messages and emails from people saying that they're lost that saying like

6:21um um it says you know i tracked my package it says it was delivered right it was never delivered and usually in this you know i've been um in business with embellished for i don't know about four or five years now yeah and so that'll happen but then the package will usually show up in like a couple of days or something okay for whatever reason like sometimes the mail carriers mark they have to like reach a quota uh-huh and so they'll mark packages as delivered okay for the day and then they're not and then they'll deliver them like the next day the next day or sometimes they deliver them to the wrong house and your neighbor kind of like yes like oh this is not my package they give them to you yeah no none of these packages are showing up for these people what we're not getting our people they stop they're not getting their stuff and so we either got to like rescind it yeah or i don't know some of them are doing chargebacks and i'm like uh come on now yeah i'm like don't do that like we'll send like we'll send you some more we'll rescind it but it's it's weird it's just happening a lot more frequently okay like then it has in the past right

7:25very annoying i went to um so we're sorry for that yeah just say that first first of foremost sorry for that i went to the post office actually yesterday because you know i don't check my PO box like all the time but i just i was in there i was in the area so i guess koi kardashian's people they sent me a box a huge box of the cloud popcorn okay oh nice yeah rats didn't aid through that shit oh yeah so they think it they were like they they handed it to me oh hey and then i turned and i realized like there was a hole in the box and then i like looked in the hole and everything in there is like torches midterrains and gone so i said oh oh he said oh i think that our ads got it you think oh you think oh my god yeah that's your shady moment yeah that was disgusting actually i forgot that we like touched the box yeah think about the rats run around the box so i he said do you want to file a claim file a claim no i don't i just want to leave it at like this moment never happens just have

8:30them rescinded it to your house yeah of course of course like yeah yeah you can't leave food food at the post office no but had i known i would have been gotten it oh my god oh yeah and i mean it was probably i don't know it was a huge box yeah them rats went to town damn yeah so absolutely disgusting so yes the United States Postal Service needs to get it together yeah now they need to get there up the pest control let's get that pest control together oh my gosh yeah so just a met yeah no all of it all of it disgusting all of it i yeah i'm a little traumatized okay so just just today or the other day whatever um prince Andrew has been arrested yes for his affiliation right his whatever whatever the Epstein because Epstein's files have been dropping yes left right there and so they didn't say okay over here in England we don't

9:30participate in all this Epstein nonsense you will be arrested but what took this long because this has been a top i feel like we've known about prince Andrew yeah for a very long time 100% and was it i don't know i don't know what took so long or was it that there was never it was just speculation that he was involved and then now that the files are dropping they're they're getting concrete evidence yeah and i don't i think now that the files are dropping yes there's concrete yeah he's he said x y and z yeah but i don't even necessarily know if it's about him being a pedophile i think allegedly i think it's a it's about something he said i think he was telling like secret information royal business i think he was telling royal business oh really with that it's it's not straight up like we know you you're out here messing with young kids that's why we're arresting you really real i i believe i i saw that um Virginia got three yes yeah her family released a statement pretty much saying like thank god yes that they were happy that he

10:31was finally being arrested or or held accountable right so it had to i would think had to maybe involve some of that yeah i would hope so um but that but you know his main connection to all this was her because she decided yeah i'm telling okay yeah and then you but you know she's unalived yes okay and you know she said i would never commit suicide right yes right and now she's yeah she supposedly committed suicide yes all right so let's see he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office okay this follow revelations from release jr. free Epstein file suggest suggesting he passed confidential government information yes to the convicted sex offender while serving as a UK trade envoy yeah so they're arrested on it rest arresting him on something not even related to Virginia yeah or any type of um sexual misconduct right but i mean listen i'll take yeah i'll take it but i i i am because all of these guys are leaving their jobs left and right

11:32in the third yeah in other countries right right we still waiting for united states to follow suit me even they say um i guess the person in charge of the Olympics that are going to be held in LA yes he's involved and so people are trying to urge him to step down yeah but it but like i said before yet where we you want all these people to be held accountable and step down but the man whose name is in the files would they say like thirty eight thousand thousand time thousand times like he's just cool he's just cool the whole pan body of it all and i'm not going we're going to not stay here long pan body of it all and her testifying and her actions and the way that she just acted like a stone coal um asshole yes it was bothersome well she sounded like a parrot for trump yeah she sounded like she had her trump talking points yeah she she sound it was like it was kind of it was very cringey and embarrassing yeah because it's like lady you are literally reading off trump talking points yes and you you're getting them out like you you just

12:35have are finding anytime any opportunity to get them out yeah what do you have trump to range center but you're not even a liar you're not even a lawyer like what you you're a horrible lawyer no this is i just i just need everybody to do their research on her okay because i have okay i'm gonna keep it to myself yeah i'll do it y'all do it in your own private moments i just need everyone that's in public office just do your damn job and do it with respect and dignity just do it like what i don't i don't care what part of you are just do just do your job and if you've done some horrible things in your past don't run for office they get okay but they see that it doesn't matter it depending on who your friends with well i just i just hope that the releasing of all these Epstein files are not in vain yeah i hope that a whole lot of things i feel like they are changed like right now i feel like they're in vain and that's unfortunate yeah we'll see all right all right now i do want to get on to a lighter note yes please because it's they are saying that you

25:14stop they shouldn't yeah they should stop this show right and tower branc banks how dare you right do this you know yeah no it what we didn't have we didn't have that because it because reality television was new to us so we're just watching like okay this is what happens on reality TV okay when the when did the real world start like in comparison to america's next top model so it definitely real world was first i'm yeah you know it was when i'm saying like how many years like we had we had years of real world of like the the kind of okay just put the cameras put these people in a house together put the cameras on and let's see what happens right um i did see when i turned it on like the very first part of the show they were tyra was saying how um it wasn't until the pandemic when people started getting angry when they started rewatching it right yes right the the um the younger people the millennials or like who i always get these damn generations mix up my kids the millennials and younger so when they're watching it during the pandemic because they're binge watching it they're getting angry and what they're watching yeah but

26:19when i saw it back i was mortified i was like y'all let this happen right but when we were watching it it was fine i think when we watch diddy and how he treated all those people on whatever shows he had making the baby yeah it was fine but today we wouldn't go for it it's not fine no it is not fine i could not imagine what else was fine and that's no longer fine um so many so so many things how about white parties how about any island there's no island that's right all of that yeah all of that none of that stuff is fine anymore so you know kudos to the younger generation oh for speaking out for watching that and seeing like damn this should just get up and for hopefully we don't perpetuate that type of behavior and activity they were even doing like you know that the models had challenges yeah they were doing challenges they were like okay we're gonna change your ethnicity we're gonna make you black face what i saw that it's just like okay i just don't

27:19understand how okay so all of that went down but like years later tyra your stance on it your thoughts on it what you say about it has got to be different than mm-hmm that was a production issue yeah then you know her and Jay fell out right well she fell out with like everybody right she fell out with everybody but she did blame it on the the network exact who said um we're getting rid of all three of them Nigel J and Jay uh-huh yeah miss J and Jay right um and she didn't there was one point in time where Jay the makeup artist Jay yeah wanted to leave okay he want to take a break from the show and so he he wrote her an email saying you know i this is a lot i just really want to take a break they're like he's like in season 10 you can so you can imagine like you just need a little break right she stopped speaking to him wow okay mind you they they started this together they were a friend's prior to starting this show okay so you know it's it's

28:21just he alluded to like it seemed that tyra put the show over anything else uh-huh and the network and all that yeah um so yeah yeah it seems she got pretty cold like so if she's if she can't you know in 2026 look back at what these girls and say hey i was wrong right and say you know in retrospect yeah at the time we didn't think it was wrong but now but now we do i'll be damn like this has the behavior can't happen she kind of said that but not really she she's not really and and i it was it was interesting because Eva's not really in it even the Eva's actually not in it i mean they show her um but she's not one of the people like the future yeah um because i know she's got a different POV on it now ain't no way but but the majority of the ladies that went through this whole thing are like you know f tyra right like tyra you're horrible the girl that she was screaming i was rooting for you all of that foolishness it was like that girl

29:24is like girl get i tyra get out of here right right and they never got deals that's the whole other thing it's like you went to americans next time out of you put me through all of this all of these challenges and at the end i win and i don't get it in the deal is like make believe yeah yeah now it's like nothing i mean that's kind of like i mean so there's very few that actually like you can name that are like current celebrities or that have benefited from it like yeah yeah who's yaya she she became my actress so she was in um what's she in dream girls with Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson she was the thought wasn't that her i guess okay i don't know yeah yeah yeah yeah yaya was like when she won the season with Eva maybe i don't know she was one of the early seasons because i remember her um she wasn't like tall okay and even isn't either right yeah so eva for sure yeah okay you say yeah yeah taqara yes taqara um and um i don't that's pretty much it

30:25for me that's it but when you watch it you're you're like oh you remember the people like you remember their faces okay but no that's yeah that shot didn't do nothing for those girls nothing for those girls um because Eva i feel like Eva you was gonna make it regardless you got the personality you got the yes it gave you a platform but like at one at some point you know you were gonna be fine regardless right if she had if she had exposure yes yeah in another way totally um so i'm a little disappointed and i don't want to be the next contestant on america's next month look that's the point it gang that's all i got to say about that um we do this is black history month thank you very much and you're still in black history do we have any facts well i do want to say um jesse jaxson oh yeah he uh got arrested so he passed away recently i have a dream no not that's Martin King's i have a dream keep hope alive jesse jaxson is keep hope alive we are
