Behind the Mic

Band Reunion

Is the band back together? yes. The game. The gangs all here. The gangs are. The gangs all here. The boys are back in town. The bitches are back in town. I have my seagram's spiked drink. Oh, you bastard. The best way to feel like. I feel like I'm on my 10th drink. Drink. But I'm completely sober. What are you saying, George? That's the best way to get this. You need something strong. You need something strong, right? Because there's a lot of crazy drama that people have been sending me all day.

Survival Story

It's gonna be, first of all, I'm glad that George survived the hurricane. Yes. Thank you. Yeah, I survived Florida, man. Won hurricane zero. Right. Good. I was prepared. I had. So, look, I'll tell you everything I did. Filled up my bathtubs with water, because you can use the water to cook with or flush your toilet with a bucket. And I also got empty two liter bottles. And you take the two liter bottles, you fill them with water, and you put them in your freezer. So when your power goes out, you take the two liter out, and you put that in your refrigerator. Take the. Take the cap off, and then as it defrosts, it cools your refrigerator so you don't lose your food. It actually lasts for days. So I did everything that. That I was supposed to do, and the storm missed us.

Hurricane Experience

Well, I don't want to say it missed us, that I went directly over us here, and it didn't do anything. Like, we got a lot of wind. Well, I'm not going to say that the wind was pretty crazy. You know, it picked up trees and shit. But when I went out to clean up afterward, there wasn't even really much to clean up. So we're really lucky. A lot of people in Tampa and the other beach towns were not as lucky. So I don't ever take for granted, you know, how lucky we really were. Yeah. I was worried. I was like, oh, George may have no power and Internet. He won't be able to do the podcasts. Yeah, that's the most important thing. Right. Obviously, podcast first, health second, offline one being dead.

Post-Hurricane Troubles

I. Right, so I'm not dead. Oh. And I didn't lose power or Internet. So, yeah, I. I'm so lucky. Right. Like, I just. I don't take it for granted. There's actually people also are in Orlando that I speak to. A couple of them are on the show, actually, and they lost power. Right. Like, a lot of. In this, to this day, I think the Walmart in my neighborhood still doesn't have power. Like, it's legit. Oh, wow. Well, I was so lucky. But should I spoil that? I. Should I. Should I spoil who? Well, the special guests that we're supposed to have in the next, like, 15 minutes. Or should you just wait and if they come, wait. Okay, well, okay. The people listening, stick around at least, like, 15 minutes, and hopefully we'll have a special guest.

Hype and Expectations

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. We need to hype it up. Shabudi. That's what we do. We need to hype this shit up. Yeah. Just when you're watching Jimmy Fallon, right. Every. Every commercial break, they tease. Now, fuck him, right? Are we not Fallon fans? I didn't know this. Jimmy Fallon was on SNL, right? Yes. Yeah. Fuck him. No, he's a horrible piece of shit. Anyways. Let'S say I'm Stephen Colbert. Let's go with that. Okay. Yeah, I like Steven. He's okay, right? Yeah. So, yeah, he's. He's not a cokehead alcoholic, so that's good. Oh, shit. I didn't know that. I did not know. Yeah, I knew. I knew Fallon was an alcoholic, so. I'm the only one that didn't know this good information. That's crazy.

Celebrity Encounters

I just. I just had a not so nice experience with him, so that's all I will say. I've never encountered him in real life, so that explains a lot. He's so fake, though. Do you know when you see him on his show, like, he looks show fucking fake? It's because he is fake. Like, he's just a horrendous person. I'm just gonna say that. That's all. This is wild. I had no clue, but, yeah, I've never encountered him in real life, ever. Like, ever, like, the funniest thing. I met Diddy. Oh. In New York. Did you get the baby oil? Did you. Were you invited to the parties? Oh, no, I was not. I was there in Times Square, and they were filming a video with mace called welcome back. Yeah, yeah.

Meeting Diddy

And I was. I have randomly. I was in Times Square for something completely different, and he was standing there and it was in between takes, and I was, like, talking to him and he. I don't know, I got a weird vibe from him, but not like rape or killer creeper vibe, but, like, just a weird vibe in general. Right. Like, I better, like, close my butthole vibe. No, I didn't feel like I was in being anally raped or anything, but, like, I don't. Somebody. And they just give you, like, the vibe that you have. Okay. So when you see a celebrity on tv, you kind of have, like, a preconceived portrayal of who they are, and then when you meet them, a vibe that is contradictive to what you thought. That's kind of how I felt.

Social Media and Celebrity Perspectives

Yes, yes. I've had that. By the way, can I crowbar? Yeah, absolutely. Okay. So, yeah, just for the people that are listening, like, we kind of. We have, like, an outline or topics that we're gonna hit, and so we pass it around between ourselves so we know what topics we're gonna hit. And so there's a topic that I forgot to list, and it's not on our list, so I just wanna say it before I forget it. Speaking of, like, creeper stuff, what did you think of Jasmine posting that geno sleeping picture today? I have a theory, shibuti on this, because. No, basically, for the better part of this year, Jasmine and Gino have not posted or spoke about each other on social media.

Concerning Posts

Right. So my theory is, after. Before the 90 days is over, when it wraps, guess what show is premiering. Last resort. huh. I'm under the impression that since we're. I think. What. What episode are we on for before the 90 days? Five or six. I think that this is about the time that they're gonna start pushing the last resort. And they need to. That they were together, you know, when they filmed this last resort. So I feel like now her and Gino are gonna start posting archive photos together. Like, I feel like that's probably what we're experiencing. Unless you feel something different. Do you feel like something else is going on?

Jasmine's Social Media Activity

Well, the one thing I will say, she posted it, and then apparently all the comments were shitting on Jasmine, and then she deleted it within 15 minutes. Really? Oh, what did they say? Like, what were they shitting on her about? See, I don't know because she has me blocked with us is what I heard, but. That's right. That's right. Shit. I think it was. But I know my reaction was negative. Cause I was like, that's kind of fucked up. You're posting this hatless photo with the little patch error in the back.

Embarrassing Photos

Like, I felt like, you know how you take in a super embarrassing picture of your best friend and you threatened to post it whenever your best friend does something horrible to you? I feel like that was situation because I was like, there's no reason why you should ever have posted this photo. Can I tell you what it reminds me of? It reminds me. Russell Brand post that photo of Katy Perry when she was in bed. Do you remember that? Wait, what was the photo? I don't remember this picture of her, like, at two in the morning when she was, like, barely awake and she, like, no makeup, and it was just, like, fucking, like, awful.

Comparison with Celebrity Scandals

Like, she was in bed. This is when they were married and he took a picture of her and she looked so fucking pissed. Like, that's what it kind of reminded me of. That is such a savage thing to do. Like, I feel like when I'm in, it's an unspoken rule that we approve photos of each other. So if I take a picture of we're hella drunk or we're doing something weird, you know, I'm gonna seek your approval before I go and post you on the Internet. Also, I want to bring up. I forgot about the dark side of Katy Perry's life when she was married to Russell brand.

Katy Perry's Transformation

I had completely. So can we just say, good for her for overcoming that dark period. Right? Cause, good lord. How was she thinking? True. But by the way, just real quick on the Gino picture. So the caption that Jasmine posted was my sleeping beauty. And then hash husbi. Hash loveyou and 98 fiance. And then. But my response when I first saw it, I said, nothing says still together like, posting a private picture, highlighting his insecurities. Right, right.

Gino's Insecurities

No, I mean, it's true. The one thing that he is uber insecure about is his hair and his, you know, the hairline situation going on. So you're right. That was a very vulnerable picture. And that, like I said, if I posted a picture of, like, that of someone, it's because I hate you. It is what it is. Honest. Like, you did something to me really bad, and I'm getting back at you. That's why I would do that. Like, if I knew that one of my friends wore a wig or wore a weave, I wouldn't go and wait until they take their wig off and I'm.

The Sensitivity of Photos

They don't see. Right. Well, because you don't want to get fucking murdered. Right. I feel like that is. He literally wears hats every moment that he's on camera, and every time he's in public, he wears a hat. So she. Like, she. It's also. It's also weird. Like, it's a sleeping photos. They're not even awake. It's like. So it's even. I know. It's more personal. Very voyeuristic. I. Yeah, so, yeah, I think you're right. I think that they're gonna start posting shit of them together, like the illusion of them together.

The Illusion of a Reconnection

But I think as being petty. And she used, you know, something in her arsenal that she could use that would hurt him because, you know, they're not together. We're not stupid, right. We're not dumb, we together. But I think she's like, well, if I have to post this man on my instagram, I'm gonna embarrass him. Right? Yeah, the big fuck you. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Cuz this is. This is work for her. Right. They have to promote the show that they. Right. They have to pretend, you know, that they shit are together.

Promotional Tactics

You know, until we watch the show, obviously she's gonna dump his ass on the show. But until we see that, we don't know what the hell is gonna going on. So she's. She's being paid as a job to associate with herself with a man that she hates. And this is her way of doing it. Yeah. The only reason I did post it in my story, but then I put a hat on top of Gino because he's my friend. And then you saw that, right? And then the only reason I didn't tweet the photo was because, like I said, I'm friends with Gino.

Friendship Loyalty

And also I'm playing him this weekend in fantasy football, so I don't want to. I don't want to embarrass him twice. Well, that's very nice of you, Shabuti. That's very demure to not drag him twice. I see that. But yeah. Anyway, let's talk about Nordstrom's rat because we're going to get into TJ Maxx a little later. But. Well, I mean, if you guys want the t on orsomes rack they have on clouds on sale right now for like $80. For real? But I just got a pair for like $80 originally, like 185.

Shopping Preferences

And they're the best running shoes known to mankind. So if you guys want to go Nordstrom's rack, they have a shit ton of them. So are you. So if we want you on this podcast, give me a DM and we can make that happen. So, Coco, are you a Nordstrom rec girl or a teaching Max girl? Well. Hate to shade on shit on TJ Maxx. I'm more of a Nordstrom's girl. I'm sorry, true. Really?

Nordstrom Vs. TJ Maxx

Okay. I mean, I like Nordstrom's rack. Well, I like Nordstrom's rack because like, they actually have. I'm a size ten shoe. I have big feet. So. Wait, I was ten? Yeah. Well, size 1011. So sometimes I'm an eleven off subject. But, you know, you could totally sell feet pics. What makes you think I don't? Oh. There we go. There's my girl. There's Coco. You thought you lost me. Yeah.

Silly Jokes

Nordstrom Rack is okay, but it has nothing on Coco's rack. Oh, my God. That was like the worst fucking dad joke. Yeah, you call. You can just call it uncle jokes. Not a dad joke. You just made an x rated dad joke, shibbooti. True. Okay. For all the people confused in the. In the chat guys, we're talking about North Rag because Natalie from. Natalie and Josh.

Natalie's Experience

Well, actually, first Natalie and Michael Mike. She was spotted in a Nordstrom's rack. And I'm pretty sure you guys probably heard you didn't. I'm gonna recap it for you real quick. So she was spotted in a Nordstrom's rag by a fan. And the fan approached her and Natalie went off on her and was like, don't talk to me. You don't know me. Don't know me. Because you. And was a complete bitch to this fan.

Reactions to Natalie

So I wanted to get y'all's reaction because of all the people, Natalie is walking around like she's Beyonce, telling people, don't look directly. I'm sorry. I'm laughing. I'm laughing because it's just like, it's like it's always the fucking shit. People who think, like, they're so special because they, like, we're on tv for like 10 seconds or. Right. Ten literal.

Being Recognized

Excuse me. Fucking Nordstrom's rack. You're not a fucking Harrods or fucking, you know, if Barney still fucking existed, you're out of fucking Nordstrom's rock. And she's telling people, like, she's basically saying that people are peasants and don't look at her and don't talk to her. And it's funny because there are some pretty big name people in the 90 day universe. Like Darcy.

Reality TV Fame

She's got like 1.5 million followers. Elizabeth from Andre's got like 900,000 followers. Oh, Lauren and Alexi. I think Lauren has over a million. You know, there are people who have status in 90 day world. Right? But I. Natalie, though. No, like, no, the girl who couldn't pay her own fucking rent. So what the fuck? That one. So, shibuti, how do you.

Public Interaction

How do you feel? How do you feel about Natalie yelling at fans because they recognized her? I feel like the reason my reaction was a little blunted was because I feel like I heard it almost similar slash identical story. Like a. Like six months ago where she was at like a ross or something and she was like, in a checkout line and somebody said hi to her and she kind of just kind of like, turned her back and put her headphones back on and kind of ignored the fan and was kind of a douche to him.

Jasmine's Future

So it was almost like an identical story. So every story I hear about her is like that of her being shitty towards fans. So it's kind of what I expect now. But how does she even fucking have fans? Like, like, people are fans of hers. Like, she should. She should be thanking, you know, the tv gods that she even has fans. Yeah, it's true. Right.

Status and Fame

Like, what does she bring to the table? Like, Darcy and Stacey have House of eleven. Right, right. Thank you. Right. What is able. Because it's like a lot of the people that did come from 90 day that did end up with fans, they bring something other than the show. Like Darcy and Stacey have House of eleven. I think Lauren has her own brand of something. I don't know what it is because I don't really watch, but I know she has a brand.

Natalie's Perception

And I like, what does Natalie bring to the table other than her annoying voice and her psycho, weird faces that she makes when she talks? Like, I don't understand how she thinks that she is Beyonce of the 90 day world. Right. Like, of all the people be stuck up. Ooh, let's play a game. Who do you think in the 90 day fiance world has the warrant to be stuck up? So think about all the fame, all the shows, all this followers.

Expectations and Reality

So, okay, we're in Ross. Okay. Coco walking around and we see this 90 day fiance star and we say something and they roll their eyes at us. Who is it? The premise is they roll their eyes to us and then we're not. So. But then we're not surprised or we're expected or they're. Oh, okay. Yeah. So let's say we're. We're not surprised because we know that they've been on x amount of spinoffs or they have x amount of fans or followers.

Celebrity Interactions

Okay. For me, it would be Libby. I think Libby would roll her eyes at me. Oh, fuck, I forgot about Libby. Yeah. Yeah. I think she would totally be a bitch. I feel like she would. Don't you feel that way? I was. I would say, I want to say, ooh, and I might get some flack for this, but I want to say Larissa. I see that I've heard some horror stories about Larissa. Interactions, so I can totally.

Reacting to Fame

Okay, yeah, I've heard that. So what? So what do you think Jasmine's reaction to me would be in real life? Stay away from my chino. So good, because, you know she hates you on the Internet. Shabouti, I've told this before. I don't think that she hates you in real life. I think she just hates you on the Internet. I think I've told you that, right?

Understanding Reactions

I think so. I don't. It would transpire into real life. I don't feel like she would see you and be like, you talk shit about me. I don't think that she would totally come at you. I think that online, she just hates the fact that you're so fucking hilarious and you're dead on and you can read her like a fucking novel. I think she just hates that. I don't think that.

Embracing Humor

Yeah, she hates that I'm like the fly in the ointment. Yes. Yeah. I think that she doesn't like that. You can see through her bullshit, and you post the memes, and they're all dead on, and she knows they're dead on. And that's irritating for her because she can fool people, but she can't fool you. So I feel like she would act like she doesn't see you, but you were to, like, walk up to her, she would at least say hi.

Public Interactions

True. Funny part is, Jasmine would be a bitch in real life. Do y'all think she would be a bitch in real life? No, I think. I think I would get on splendidly with her. I mean, really? Okay, here's the thing. I hate to say, but what? She explodes. That's how I explode when I have a fight with someone. So I actually relate to her a lot.

Cultural Backgrounds

I don't know if it's because, you know, we're both Latino. We both grew up that way, but I actually understand her, so I don't know. Well, do you think. Well, do you think. Do you think 2024 Jasmine is more of a bitch or 2022 Jasmine in real life? 24? I mean, she's more. Yeah, absolutely. She's more popular now than she was then.

Status and Influence

And that's what happens, you know, your status blows up and you just become very, you know, like, I think people who've never had fame and never really had money, and all of a sudden they get money and they get the fame. You know, I think they're entitled to act like a prick for, like, about a year or so, but then after that, like, they need to adjust their attitude. No one's gonna want.

Repercussions of Attitudes

Cuz, like, no one's gonna work with someone who's a bitch or an asshole. No one's gonna work with them, and you're not gonna get a job either way. So, you know, check your attitudes. One thing, though, we have witnessed, at least on the Internet, with jasmine, though, is while she may not be a bitch to us directly or to me, but she has her underling, and then she has the underling henchman be the bitch.

Minions and Assistants

Yeah, but those people are fucking. Like, those people are fucking wannabe assistants. Like, agents. Like, they're nobodies. They're like, the lower than nobodies. They're just like, they're pretending to be nobodies. I call those the minions. The minions, they come in and they do work for the. For the star, right? They. They come in and they protect. They do work.

Introducing Juliane

Someone who's not a minion and hopefully knows how to unmute themselves is our new special guest, Juliane. Hey, guys. How are y'all? Hi. What's good? Hello, officer Julie house. Yeah, I'm honored to be here tonight, y'all. I really appreciate the invitation. Yeah, I know you've been busy with the weather. Oh, man, I'll tell you what, it was bad down here.

Weather Reflections

It's real bad. Oh, you guys got the end of Helene. Did you get any of Milton in Georgia? Or was it just Helene? No, it was just Selena. Milton changed directions last minute, but after what we hadn't seen. And see, mom is up in Ohio, so she was totally safe. I had to go take. Take her cat to my house and put in the basement.

Family Matters

And mom's just having old time in Ohio. Are you. Are you. Are you on duty right now? I just clocked out for the day, so I'm driving home. I got an hour drive so y'all. Can keep me from. Oh, so Ohio is my old stumping ground. Where is she? I was in northeast Ohio. Well, see, mom was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, and she's right now.

Personal Stories

Oh, Columbus, with her sister. Unfortunately, my aunt. Her sister's going through some medical procedures, but she's doing good now. And, you know, mom went up there to spend some time with her and I. And on top of that, I think she may be on a date, but we'll find out that soon. Guys, this is the scoop. You heard it here first. Remember that. This is the scoop.

Cheering for Debbie

And I'm happy for Miss Debbie. I think that she, of all people, deserves happiness after all the crap that she's been through. You know, I don't want to talk crap about anybody, but, you know, the last two guys that were in her life were not. We're not even close to the standard that she deserves, so I really hope that this Ohio guy is a good guy.

Family Dynamics

Well, see, that's. That's what mom. I love her to death. She's. We were totally opposite, but, you know, she. She's my mom, but she just want, you know, she just trying to do whatever she can to find just somebody to love her, you know? And she. Sometimes I feel like she's trying to sell herself short, and it's like, you know, like the guy, like I said, like in the tell all before I told her, the guys that I picked for her, she doesn't like.

Compatibility Concerns

You know, like the retired one star general, the firefighter, because they're not artsy, you know, she. She's very free spirited, as everyone knows. Knows my mom. You know, she. Yeah, she likes the colorful rainbows. And me, I'm your black and white guy, you know? You know, everything is. Is one way or the other. And she's just, you know, it's. It's.

Family Gatherings

But it's what makes it fun when we're together because, you know, and then we got my sister. Her daughter is really religious, so when we're all together, it's really a hell of a show to watch, you know, you got me. I got my sister that's, you know, loves Jesus, or I love Jesus, too, but, you know, she's just like, way, you know, way more than I do, you know what I mean? And way more than mom.

Possible Filming

The mom just like the hippie child, you know? Oh, everyone loves everybody. You know, this, that man. So it's. If TLC could ever. We had her film one episode with us, and it was a good episode, but my sister backed out the last minute. She didn't want it to be aired because she was, she just. She doesn't. She didn't want the, you know, publish being put out on tv and all that stuff.

Family Dynamics

I get, you know, I get that because once you do it, there's no going back. You know, I get that. But it sounds like thanksgiving dinner at y'all's house is something that needs to be filmed, right? Like, you know what? I relate to you a lot because my mom is a Jesus freak. Like, she's in a religious cult. She raised us in a religious cult.

Personal Experiences

You know, I could only go to religious school. I could only talk to people in that cult, so. And then I escaped the cult when I was 18, so I was in, but my mom is still in it. So, like, I really relate to, you know, how that feels of, you know, being. I'm religious, I'm spiritual, but I'm not, like, I'm not, like, obsessed.

Family Dynamics Reflections

So, like, when we get together, I totally know how you and your family, you know how that feels, right? Exactly. And, like, I have to watch out what I say, you know, I don't, like, I really am careful about using choice words around children and, you know, but, like, with your stiff me, I'm in a comfortable area with people that I cuss like a sailor, you know, I'll cuss this, that, and the other, but I got to watch out.

Navigating Family Conversations

Even, like, pg words to say around her. She'll get mad. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, my gosh. It's like, oh, come on. You know I love you to death. You're my sister, but you're driving me crazy, you know? Yeah. I grew up in a really religious, like, I mean, not insane religious, but, like, I mean, I went to Hebrew school for, like, 15 years and all that stuff.

Personal Backgrounds

And then I was always told when I was very young, like, that I was always going to have to marry someone who is jewish. And then, like, I ended up with someone who was, like, an ex Catholic atheist. So there you go. Yeah, so, yeah, I mean, you guys all pretty much know how I know. I'm talking about. Yeah.

Viral Video

By the way, julian, I know you were viral the other month with that video in Atlanta. Talk about that. So, well, first, wait. First of all, Julian has been viral several times. This is not the first time I've seen Officer Julian go viral. Okay, Julian, go ahead. But I just want to bring this up. He's a he multiple times. Thanks, George. I appreciate that. But you know, where I work in Atlanta, it's.

Law Enforcement

It's Clayton county. It's. It's a very populated area, and it's. It's. It's a crime. It's. It's one of the highest crime per capita in the state of Georgia. So we have, like, not too long ago, I did a county video where were looking for a murderer. You know, that went out and that went viral. And next thing you know, when the murderer saw it, solid on, out on you know, all over social media.

Challenges of Law Enforcement

He came and turned himself in, you know, and that. That went viral then. And then this person that. I can't remember her name, but she had a shop here in south Atlanta, and she sold a lot of beauty supplies. She was. She was well known amongst the locals. You know, everyone liked her. She was good people. She always. I heard stories that she would give out, you know, free hair products during Christmas time, you know, to the less fortunate.

Tragic Loss

And so she ends up passing away, and she has, like, over, like, a million dollars worth of inventory. And she comes from a different background, culture, you know, she's not from. I guess they're not from the United States, from an eight somewhere in Asia. And when she passed away, no one let anybody know, you know, nobody let the landlord know. Nobody let her workers know.

Sudden Departures

And so she just stopped showing up one day. And then, you know, the manager would open the doors, and nothing was getting paid, unfortunately. And then when we. When we found out, we contacted her. I'm sorry, I was going too far. So the landlord's like, hey, this. I don't know what's going on. This lady hasn't paid her rent. She's never missed rent ever.

Unfortunate Circumstances

You know, she's always on time, always polite, and so he lets it go. He thinks maybe, well, maybe. Maybe she's having hardship, and I don't want to get involved or something like that, you know? So he gives it a couple months, and finally, you know, business is business. He's like, well, I gotta get Victor. But I've called her. I've heard from him.

Investigation

So we come to find out she's passed away. Her son, we called him. He's like, I don't care about it. You can burn it all. I don't. I don't speak to my. My mom, this, that, and the other, you know, and we're like, dude, you got a million, over a million dollars worth of hair product, you know, the beauty supplies. And that stuff is not cheap. I don't know if you've seen weaves lately, but they go for hundreds of dollars, you know, and you cut.

Valuable Inventory

Boxes and boxes to the ceiling. And so. So when we start, one of my deputies go look, and he starts. Start saying, hey, we got to evict everything. You know, we put everything out. And usually the general rule of thumb is we're not allowed to. No one's allowed touch anything while we're there. First off, you know, usually, a lot of times, people get their own security to watch.

Crowd Control

Watch the stuff while it's being taken out. But, you know, we already had people pull up with, we saw them in the parking lot with guns, you know. You know, we've seen, you know, sketch some sketch people trying to steal stuff. Like, hey, we can't do, you know, and somebody goes and says, well, tells everybody that the owners passed away, you know, and that's when everyone's like, oh, well, let's just grab it.

Tensions Rising

So, so we had to go out there, and we had, they had a call for backup. I was, I didn't come out there until probably about 30 minutes into it, but by the time I got there was like high schoolers getting out of school, you know, they were, and we had probably, gosh, I want to say we had, in the thousands of people, they're ready to, like, start fighting over each other, you know, people brandishing weapons about who's going to get what.

Violent Situations

And so at the end of the day, my sheriff's like, well, if he's not going to come get it, we're not going to let it have free for all. The sheriff's office end up taking into custody, and then we're going to dump it at the landfill. Because it was just, it was so much violence already starting to occur right then that were originally going to say, okay, hey, make a line. Everyone picked something, but then it just got so nasty.

Challenges in Law Enforcement

And I, you know, we already fight. We decided not to. And then the most recent one that kind of went all over the place. Down here was the lady that I had to save from drowning. Her car was during the flood. It, I end up blocking off a road, and people, sometimes they think they can drive past the blockades, and it's a good idea. She drove past my car, and I'm the only one on the street in the powers out.

Dangerous Situations

And she drove past my car. My lights are on, and her car sinks into the sinkhole. It's like so deep that, I mean, even me standing in it comes up to my hips where you, where the video of it, you can see where I'm trying to grab her. She's like, I can't touch the ground. We were sinking because her car was so heavy. Road gateway. And she's just like, oh, la de la.

Public Safety

I'll just decide. And I'm just like, where's people's common sense? You know, I don't just sit out here standing in the flood for my health, you know, I'm telling you not to go this way. You know, she would have sank if I, if me and my buddy didn't get to her time, she would have probably drowned because her car kept sinking down where the. Because the engine was so heavy and the lamb was giving away.

Teamwork in Crisis

It was just crazy, you know? No, I just. I don't know. I just happened to. People always happen to catch me doing something. You know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah, I. So what happens when something like that happened? Like, was she charged with anything or was she just told, you know, you did, what you did was stupid, and y'all let her go? Like, because your life is also in danger, right?

Law Enforcement Insights

Like, when you were saving her, you were in danger, too. So, like, did something happen to her for driving through the blockade? You know, I could. I'm not a, I'm not a dick cop, you know? I don't. If people's lives already screwed up, and it's hard to say, it is. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna say, well, here. Here's $400 citation. You know, I'm gonna.

Understanding Forgiveness

I didn't end up had tor car, and I got total, because all the, you know, I'm not. I'm just not like that. I'm just, I'm not. I'm not that cop. You know, I'm the cop is more likely gonna give you a break because you are honest. Then. Then have you ran your mouth and you were shitty to me, then I'm, you know, I'm gonna be a jerk. But for the most part, I mean, unless you do something really stupid, then I'm.

Handling Real Life Situations

I'm just gonna be like, that. Serves you right. But that's all you're getting from me, you know? But you know what? You're the only cop that has to worry about a 90 day fiance Reddit to break his balls. I wish. I wish one thing, that when TlC told me, hey, you're gonna be on tv, this is all gonna happen. I wish they would have gave me a class on what to expect, because there are people that just hate me just to hate me for that.

Perceptions and Reality

And it's like, it's almost, I'm, like, almost honored in a way that you, that someone is taking their time out of their personal life to go get divorced records of mine or finding whatever they can of me or talking about, you know, how my this and that and the other, that I'm a scam. I mean, it's crazy. It's, it's really crazy.

Character Assassination

It's funny that they got that much time where I'm. That I'm so that damn interesting that you need to go get my, you know, divorce records and talk about my life. I mean, it's kind of cool, but then it's kind of like, come on, dude. You know, like, oh, like the latest one I read was, how is a horrible ex husband to my wife and my wife hates my gut, my ex wife hates my guts, blah, blah.

Public Narratives

And that's why. That's why I'm babysitting her dog while she's at the Grand Canyon because I'm such a horrible person, you know? Yeah, it didn't work out. You know, there's a lot of false information that's out there. It didn't work out. I still love her very much, you know, she's. To me, she called me, says I need help with something, I'm gonna help her, you know?

Misconceptions

But people make you. Make. Well, make me out to be like. Like some of these bad people that are ten times worse than me on the show. You know what I mean? And I'm just like, damn. Well, for me, the irony is the person that you are on the show is basically the person you are in real life.

Reality TV Insights

Like, so it's really interesting that people are like, oh, Julian this, Julian that. And I'm like, well, the person he is on the show, you're trying to tell us that his character is different from who we see. Like a good son, you know, a caring son, somebody who takes care of other people. Like, you're trying to sell to me that he's this horrible person.

Character Integrity

And it's like, well, first of all, he can't be a scammer. He's a cop. There's every type of check that they do in order for you to be a cop. And even while you're a cop, if you do one wrong thing, you know, they throw the book at you because they hold you to the highest standard, right? So it's like they're wasting their time.

Societal Attitudes

And it's like they're trying to assassinate a character, you know, of someone who there's literally nothing to find. Like, I've seen all the B's stories. They're like, oh, he's a scammer and he lies. And I'm like, okay, so the police department would keep a cop on their force who's on tv, you know, who all this information would be there if it were true.

Hate and Reality TV

It's such. It's sad that there's so much hate associated with reality tv and with the 90 day fiance world. It's like people dedicate hours and hours of time to just spreading hate and lies and misery. And I think that's the real dark side of this part of it. Cause it's like, I love the show. I love interacting. I love podcasting. I love talking about it.

The Dark Side

But then there's people who take it way too far, and I think that's where it gets ugly. Yeah. And I mean, a lot of people like, oh, you're an asshole. I'm just a sarcastic person. I have a really different sense of humor. I'm not in, like, people like, oh, you're so mean to your mom. This. That. I'm like, but that's me.

Expressions of Love

I'm. She knows if I don't mess. If I don't mess with somebody, that means I don't love them. You know what I mean? I'm the type of person, like my best friend, I'll say. I'll call them up and say, hey, what are you doing, asshole? You know what I mean? That's what I show my love in a different way. You know?

Reflections on Personal Connections

If I'm not messing with you in some sort of way or giving you a hard time, that means I don't love you. You know what I mean? Yeah. Occasionally, like, people will send me, try to send, like, dirt on you, and then. But they don't realize that, like, you're one of the few people I've, like, talked on the phone before. Like, they were tight.

Friendship Affirmations

So I kind of ignore it when people try to send me bullshit on you. I appreciate. That's why I love you guys. You know, you guys are my favorites because you got. I mean, you guys are real. You're real. You know, there's people that just, like, grab stuff out of.

Maintaining Authenticity

I swear, they grab stuff out there. There was one of them. I mean. Oh, yeah, some. Someone. I forgot who it was. I'll have to go back and check. But they. They requested an open records act on me, freedom information for law enforcement. They wanted to grab my whole record. And then I guess they were looking for bad stuff because a lot.

Record Requests

I mean, my record says I've been awarded the medal of valor for bravery, or, I saved somebody's life. This, that, and the other, and. But, hey, I never hear them talk about that. They always talk about, oh, he's a scumbag. He's scamming people. But, yeah, you yet. But you. Can you imagine the anger when they requested that and they got all of the information good and how disappointed that they were that they had nothing to use you imagine.

Reflections on Online Behavior

Like, to take all the energy to go and request records on someone just for a hateful, you know, an ugly reason, and then you get the information and it's nothing but positive information. I hope that they felt, you know, how useless they are in that moment because that's how useless they really are. Yeah. I mean, it's like if you live your life just to find the bad on anybody and I mean, don't get me wrong, there's some people that are, I think that are really bad people that if they were on fire wouldn't piss on them.

Trust and Honesty

You know what I mean? But, yeah, I mean, they've kind of made their own bed. Lay it. You know, if you're gonna go around, you gonna treat people horrible and what goes around comes. I'm a firm believer that's why I'm scared of doing wrong because within 5 seconds about for me doing something wrong, I'm gonna break my foot or something like that.

Avoiding Pitfalls

You know, some stupid. So, Julian, I know you did pillow talk with Jen. How did that go? You know, I love Jen to death. I. She is, she's cool. We had a lot of good, a lot of. A lot of fun, but I've all, you know, I can't get into detail too much. Right. But I kind of got my eyes set on somebody that maybe TLC will bring out. I don't know, but we'll see.

Future Aspirations

So I've been kind of just, you know, chilling out on that. But Jen is a friend. I love her death and I'll do anything for Jen. Are you watching the newest before the 90 day season? I have to get caught up. I've been working a lot of double shifts. I'm not where anybody's at right now, probably.

Challenges of Scheduling

I still got it, I guess a lot to watching to do next two days off. Okay, so then my next question is going to sound out of left field, but do you want to go on record and say you don't have gonorrhea? Yeah, I don't have gonorrhea. At least not that I know of. I think when I go use the bathroom every morning, I'm not hurting down there, so.

Avoiding Speculation

Okay. Because there's a guy on the new season that proudly does so. Oh, yeah. I've heard about, yeah. A different character. I've heard a lot about him and read a lot about him, but again, I don't know him, so I'm not, I mean, I'm not gonna cast any judgment. So he's never talked to me, so.

Unexpected Encounters

Well, he's talked to us, and he's sent me unsolicited DPIC. Well, dang, look at you. You're just so lucky, ain't you? That's not the kind of insider I wanted to be. Definitely. Definitely. Yeah. Left field for me, you know? Right. He likes the same pictures. He likes to send happy pictures to people. More power to him.

Celebrity Interactions

Especially you. I think you have all people deserve those pictures. No, he. He needs to save those for your other. Your other girlfriend, Captain Picard. Oh, yeah. How's she doing? You know, I wanted. I wish she was gonna be on my. Oh, she's awesome. She is so. She's great.

Updates on Relationships

Just got married, actually. I know. You better tell that guy to be nice to her. I. Don't make me come down there. We. We haven't seen him yet, so, you know, we definitely have to make sure he's a good guy. I know it's too late, but, you know, he still has to pass the. The friend test, you know, we have to make sure he's a good guy.

Recognition and Insecurity

They pulled up the Rick crosses, and I'm just like, dang, man. You know, it's crazy how many people. People know you now. Now, let's see. Yeah. And then it happens when I'm walking in Atlanta, you know, I'm just like, I'm nobody. I'm like, what happened? These people. You know what I mean? It's like. Well, yeah, it's crazy. It's so crazy. It's just like, I'm nobody special. I'm just a son of some lady that. That was looking for love. You know what I'm saying? Well, I beg to differ. You know, I think that this show has taken on a life of its own. And I think, like, I think it just celebrated ten years, and it's like, it's. It's really taking on a life of its own. And I put it up there with, like, teen mom and Vanderpump rules.

Evolution of Fame

And I feel like this show, Kardashians, like, it's on a really big, high status, and it used to not be that way. And I think we talked about this recently on the podcast. It happened around Covid is when the show really took off. And I think, like, now it's putting you up on the list. Like, Atl, I call, like, little la, right? Like, it's. ATL is like, there's so many celebrities, so many movies, filming, so many artists everywhere, so many shows. I call it little LA. So putting you in the mix of all that, I think that it's only expected, right? I think people. Cause so many people, even if they can't put their finger on who you are. Cause I do this all the time. I'll see somebody. I'm like, I know that person. I just can't think of who they are.

Interactions with Fans

I know them. I know them. Cause I know that you get that. You go somewhere and there's, like, five people just staring at you. Yes. They're in there. They're like, I know who that is. I know that they just can't put their finger on. I think that's just. It's kind of like your life now, right? Yeah. And, you know. You know what's funny? I was at Dragon Con. I'm a little bit of a nerd, too. So, you know, I like my Star Wars. I grew up with stuff like that. So I went to Dragon Con, which is like a big side bike convention in Atlanta. And this guy walks up to me goes, I know you. And I'm thinking, oh, shit, did I arrest him? Because every now and then I run across somebody I arrested.

Being Recognized

I'm like, did I arrest this guy? He goes, you are on tv, weren't you? And I was like, yeah. And I was like, ooh, you know, I dodged that bullet big. Every now and then I'll get somebody that I arrested come up to me and say, hey, well, you know, you arrested me, blah, blah. But thanks for treating me nice, you know, and stuff like that, you know? Oh, so, yeah, that's scary. That's a scary thought in itself. Like, someone you arrested and then they run into you in the real world. That's scary. I remember when I got my first jury duty summons, I had my doctor say I couldn't do it because I'm so scared that I'll have to pick whatever happens to someone and then they get out, and then they're gonna find me somehow.

Past Experiences and Law Enforcement

Like, I'm super paranoid. I'm like, I don't wanna be that guy. So the idea that someone you arrested and put in jail could come out and, like, approach you is super scary to me. Yeah. And, you know, and, like, I worked undercover narcotics for a while and my job was at one time to go buy dope. So it was. It was always creepy then because at my time. At the time, I was newly married to my. To my ex wife. And I, you know, I had people follow you, follow me home. I mean, it was. It was some hairy stuff, you know, it's nothing for the light hearted. And that's one thing you. You always hear about police in the police world.

Challenges Faced by Police Officers

You know, this person found out where this cop lives and next thing you know, their families getting harassed or terrorized, you know, and that's. And that's one hard thing about being on tv and that, because when they say they know you, the most likely I'm thinking, okay, they know me from tv, which, you know, but I. It has happened where someone I've arrested, you rested me, blah, blah. You know, stuff like that. So, Julian, like, I have a random. Or it's like a cop question, but with, like, the body cam footage, how does that work? Is that, like, broadcasted to headquarters live? Or is it, at the end of the night, you submit the footage? Or, how does that work?

Body Cam Footage Procedures

Well, the old systems used to be that you'd have to go back to the precinct and you have to download the system now. Now any. Any supervisor can log in, like, I can log into any of my guys at any of the time and see what. Hear that, Apple? And you can log in at any time, and it can be live stream. Oh, I forgot to tell you right now, we got live PD at our department filming for the next couple months, so if you. Whoa, whoa. So, wait, you might be on tv again? Yeah, yeah, I had to. I had to let sharp entertainment, TLC know because, you know, obviously I have a contract with them, and anytime that tv comes, if you were on tv without them, they have to know about it.

Filming with Live PD

So I had to send the legal department an email and let them know, hey, live tv. Live PD's here. They're filming us. Like, they started filming, I think, two days ago. So they're just getting, like, the basics of the sheriff's office. So I may be on tv for that again. I mean, I've watched that, so that would be pretty cool. I actually love that they have a bunch stationed out here in Florida, in different parts of Florida, so I like to watch that just to see all the weird, crazy stuff that's happening around me. So, yeah, I'll definitely watch that. But, yeah, so going back with the. Live. The camera. Yeah, it can be watched live now, or it can be downloaded, downloads to a cloud server, and then I can just open it up, or my boss can open mine up and say, hey, what were you doing this day?

Future Perspectives

You know, sleeping in the office. I see. Like, what was that podcast you were talking to? Yeah, I turned everything off. Don't worry, you got. True. So do you hope to do single life one day? Well, if, you know, and again, I've met a lot of the people on these shows, and I. And TLC asked me if I would like to go on dates with any of them. I think they're. First off, I think they're all fantastic people, right? Love to death and then do anything for them if they needed me. But, you know, I'm. I have. You know, I want to. I'm at the point in my life where I like my peace.

Personal Choices

You know what I mean? I like my peace if it means not to have anybody. And I can just live the rest of my life peace and quiet without fighting, without yelling and this, you know, I'm happy with that. You know what I mean? I've got everything I wanted in this world. You know, I got a beautiful little boy. You know, I got. I got a loving family, and. And I just want my peace, you know? I've been through so much in my life, you know, I just. A lot of the people, a lot of the people just have so much going on, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm a simple meat potatoes type of person. I just want to have my farm.

Longing for Simplicity

I just want to have my animals. I want to, you know, just tranquility. I deal with. I deal with stressful things every day for work. I deal with a stressful family. You know, I just, you know, if. If the right person came along, yeah, I would. I would do it. But, you know, but with. With current people, I just did just so much for me, you know, that some of them are just, you know, I think they're great people, don't get me wrong. And I would hang out with them any day, but to marry and to. To settle down with some of the people that are on there, I couldn't do it.

Reflections on Relationships

True interest, you know, it's just. I mean, like, I, like, so I don't even make a year amount of income of what some of these people spend on themselves, you know, I'm saying, like, you went on buying a new purse. That's 15, $20,000. You know, to me, that's a lot. You know, that's a few paychecks of mine that you can get that. You know what I mean? So I don't think I'd financially make people happy either, you know, because everyone in today's world, I want this. I want that. I want this, you know? Yeah. I mean, I like nice things, too, but, you know, at what cost, you know what I mean? My sanity.

Relationship Expectations

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. The expectations in relationships are outrageous. You know, like, it used to just be, you take a girl out, you buy her dinner and take her to a nice movie or show, you know, and that was the expectation. But you're right. Now women expect you to bring them gifts on the first date, you know, like, the expectations have just keep growing and growing. And I think that, you know, it's unrealistic to think that a partner is somebody that's supposed to just financially shower you with gifts. That's not what a partner is. And I think that's kind of where the relationship world is right now.

Moral Values and Relationships

Yeah. And I totally agree with you, George. It's like, you know, again, it's cool to have new things. It really is. But I have to have the same moral values with somebody before I can fall in love with them. You know what I mean? Like, used to be in the day, back in the day, when I was young, I was like, whatever. I just go take whoever I could get, you know what I mean, and have fun. But as I got older in my years and been through a bunch of stuff, it's like, you know, I. Sometimes the values is more important than looks and the mature objects, you know?

Challenges in Dating and Social Media

But speak on that note. And the other thing that TLC didn't tell me was how many people, how many women. Oh, my gosh. On my instagram, like, I get hundreds of messages a day, and I'm just like, dude, if I was, like, 20 years old and had this, I would be, like, already been, like, blackballed and been, like, a horrible person, you know? But. But it's like, the. The fan. The fan base that comes with. With this show, you know? You know, I'm saying, it's like. It's like, I don't know why people are like. Like, dude, it's just me.

Interaction with Followers

It's not like, oh, you answered me. But I usually what I do is, okay, someone answers me. When somebody sends me a message, I take the time, and I will respond back. You can ask every single person that's sent me a private message. I will take the time. It may take me a few days to get back to it, but I'll say, hey, thank you. Oh, I can't surprise you messaged me back. Why are you surprised? If you want to take the time to say hello to me, I'm gonna say hello back. It may just take me a minute, but, you know, it's like. It's so weird.

Online Interactions

It baffles my mind. It's like people think I'm, like, this great person when I'm just a normal person. Oh, I love what you do. You're such a great. It's like. I don't know. At first, I didn't know how to take it. You know what I mean? I'm like. I always thought something was suspicious because I know these people want to. Treachery. There's one. There's been one. One person. I'm sorry. I think one person that. That I talked to on a regular, daily basis, but it wasn't like anything. It wasn't anything sexual, wasn't anything. Wasn't anything like I was interested in.

Conversations and Boundaries

She was a. I want to say she. She was like a, like going to school to be psychiatrist, and we just got to. Talking was a cool conversation, and so she started getting pretty aggressive in the conversation, you know, talking about, oh, hey, you know, I like you and this. Okay, cool. You know, but I'm not looking for anything right now. Well, you know, that's what I said. I told her, I'm not looking for anything right now. You know, this is, she thought she understood, but. So I had going. It got so crazy. I hadn't had to get a following a police report because she was like. Oh, you're not gonna be with me.

Harassment and Reaction

I'm like, what? I told you, I just needed a friend. I don't need. And so she went, and she was one of them that went on Reddit and tarnished me for crazy stuff, and I saved everything. I said, if you want to post that stuff, that's fine, but I'm about to post what you show me. Then her post mysteriously disappeared. You know, it's like, it goes two ways. You, I can take pictures. Believe me, I care to. I keep every single conversation I have on my phone now because of that. And that's another reason why I don't really talk to people like that. There may be a handful of people that I talk to, but I keep every single receipt because I seen how evil these people can be out here.

Getting Through Challenges

You know what I mean? Yeah. Hey, Julian. Like, so you have an open invite to come on anytime you want. Next time, though, you should please join the podcast, but the background noise is getting louder, so. So, yeah, if next time, you know, come back on, but call, you know, connect when you're back at home. Yeah. But, but if it's cool. Yeah, we have a lot of topics to get to, but, again, thanks for, like, joining us. We're gonna hop on to our other, like, we have probably, like, ten other topics to get to.

Ending Conversation

Yeah. Yeah. You guys are awesome. But again, you know, pre appreciate you getting the next time you're with your mom. If you're hanging out with her on a Friday or Sunday, let us, you know, hop on there and have her talk to us, too. Okay. I go see her in Ohio at the end of the month, and I'll see if we can't drop in and say hello. Yeah, because we do this Friday nights, and we also, time permitting, we do it on Sunday nights for, like, half an hour as well. So we're on here multiple times in the week. It's great to hear from y'all and everyone.

Goodbye and Gratitude

Be safe and have a good weekend, and I'll talk with you all later. You. Thank you and appreciate your heroism. Absolutely, we do. Thanks. All right, thanks, Julian. All right, later, guys. All right, thanks. I'm a big fan of his. I'm a big fan I think he's a really good guy. You know, I'm really happy to hear that he's possibly seeing someone, and we might be seeing him back on the show at some point. It's kind of exciting. Fingers crossed, you know, it goes in that direction.

Transitioning Discussion Topics

But, okay, so we're going to get into some of our other topics that we have as we got. Actually, we have a shit ton of topics to cover tonight. I don't know what happened this week, but, Shabuti, what do you want to talk about next? I know we got, we. We talked about Natalie and the Nordstrom rack situation, but there's something about. What was it? TJ Maxx. Right. There was a Lauren spotting at TJ Maxx. How did you get that video?

Lauren's Sighting

Yeah, I mean, it was everywhere. It was on tick. So I guess the original person posted on TikTok. So a TikToker posted it also. Just, like, a random customer, like, on tick tock. And. And so. Well, someone found. I would. Yeah, well, I think it was. It had to have been a super. I feel like a superfan. Like, the superfan recorded it, but, yeah. Somebody found him in the health and beauty aisle at TJ Maxx working, and. And they took a video.

Continuing the Conversation

If you guys didn't see it, I saw it. I'm pretty sure everybody saw it. I'm pretty sure everybody can see all the stuff that we can see on, you know, on Instagram and tick tock and everything. But he was working and in the health and beauty aisle, and everyone's like, oh, a Lauren siding here at TJ Maxx. So as of now, Lauren is still working at TJ Maxx. I know some people were like, oh, it's only a matter of time before he gets fired or whatever. Not true, guys.

Discussion about an odd behavior

Like, I don't know if that's his thought process or whatever, but we know he's here. We saw them when he got here. We saw, like, I don't know why people think we're stupid. You know, I don't know why people think we can't figure it out. Yeah. So, anyway, yeah, at least I. Only. Because whatever the hell he's doing with that machine is not how you use that machine. You saw the bench. There was a bench in front of him. He was supposed to be on the bench. So he was literally on the ground instead of the bench. Yeah. He had his hands like any other. His hands. His arms were, like, covering the sides of his head. So you couldn't see his face. Yeah. That's the craziest thing I've seen in a while. Yeah, I posted that to my subscribers on Twitter. So, anyway, let's see.

Discussion about Matilda's intentions

All right, let's go to the next topic, I guess. Let's see. Okay. Do you think Matilda is after my. Does you think Matilda see Mile Niles as a meal ticket or sees him as a money bag? Man, I had this conversation before. I'm really hard at. Well, I'm really bad at, like, reading people, but, like, a lot of people have said, based on the things that she said and how she's referred to him and how she talks about him, this is, like, her meal ticket or this is her green card into the US. So I kind of feel like that is definitely what's going on with her. I can't tell. Like, when they arrived at. When he arrived at the airport, when he got to Ghana, I thought that they were pretty touchy feely, and she seemed really into him. But again, I've seen lots of women act like they were into someone, you know, but they really weren't. So I don't know.

Judgment on Niles and expectations

I think. But. So my one issue with that is I don't think Niles has a whole bunch of money. So I'm really confused. Thinks that he has more money than he does, you know, because he's clearly a working man, but he is not somebody that can buy you a Bentley, you know? So I'm confused that. But, I mean, I guess if you're from Ghana, some money is a lot of money, you know, depending on, you know, how the money situation is in their country and these countries, you know, coming over to the US and getting regular entry level retail job is a dream compared to where they are. So I don't. I don't know what her expectations are, but I don't think it's going to be what she thinks it is. Yeah. Either way, it's more. It's more than plantain money.

Interest in food trends

Yeah, it's way more than plantain money. What's up with the banana things these seasons, like, it's banana stuff everywhere and it's like, oh, and I want to try to get some banana chips. I heard that Metallia and James were sending people banana chips to try on their lives and on their podcast. So I'm going to and see if we can't get some banana chips. Off subject, by the way, so we can see what they taste like because I think they sent Kim some, but she hasn't tried them yet, so. But I want to get some too. I want to see if we can all get some so we can try it just so we can. Because it's not what you think. Right? Because I asked around and I saw Shekina on her story, and it's not chips made out of bananas. It's something completely different. So I'm really curious and seeing, you know, how this should actually taste.

Talking about the jewelry business

Speaking of them, James and Tata or whatever, did you notice on the last is it was what is again? Metallia? No, no, I'm talking about Jay. I'm talking about James, though, now. No, that's. That's the chick. James and Metallia. It's basically. But what's her nickname? What's her nickname, though? Tata. Right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So. But did you notice on the last other way episode they were working on, like, their jewelry together on the show? Yes, I did see that. Yeah. Because I know James. They had also have a little side jewelry business now that they sell to fans and stuff.

Discoveries about business

Apparently they were doing this in the US before the show as well. I heard that they were doing this. I don't. I mean, I don't know how. How lucrative it is. Like, if it's like a door to door thing or you sell it out of the trunk in the Costco parking lot. Like, I don't know how this works, but apparently they were doing it before the show as well. But now that they have the show, you know, it's opened up their clientele to a larger audience. So apparently. Yeah, I saw them posting on their stories about this jewelry that people are purchasing from them, and I guess the ones that she made on the show look like two dicks or whatever.

Discussion about handmade jewelry

So are. Would you purchase handmade jewelry? Like, because I'm. Okay, I'm going to be 100% honest with you, I would note. So I'm just curious, is this something that people want? Well, I will say people have purchased Miss Debbie's jewelry and they all rave about it, but. So I think it depends on the quality, I guess. I don't know. Oh, well, I guess I'm just like, I don't know. I'm not gonna buy any handmade jewelry. I'll support, like, I'll donate something for them, but I'm not gonna wear any handmade jewelry. That's like, I crossed the line there, I guess.

Discussion around motivations

But, like, do you think, well, as far as the chicken and the egg, do you think it's like they had the handmade jewelry business and they're like, we need a promotional vehicle for this jewelry stuff we're doing. So let's just try to get on any kind of show, reality show we could get in because then at the end of the day, we have, then we'll have a vehicle to promote our jewelry business. Like, do you think it's like a chicken egg thing? I mean, I do believe when people do these shows, they always have something that they're trying to push that, like, remember when Cara was on the show, her and guillermo, and she was a balloon, she made balloon arrangements. You know, there's always that people are pushing. Right? And like, with Usman, it was his music. With Jabri, it was his music. Music.

Reality show dynamics

With Darcy and Stacy, it was house of eleven clothes. Like, I believe that people do these shows with ulterior motive. They want to push something. So I don't know if the handmade jewelry was their best option, but it have a audience now that it didn't have before. It does have a clientele that it didn't have before. But again, I don't know how lucrative. Again, I don't know anything about it. I don't know if they're making enough money to live off of or if they're making enough money to buy KFC. You know, like, I don't, I just don't know. Okay.

Live audience comments

Like, real quick, something that we, I probably should do a better job of is while we're doing this live podcast is there's comments. So let me read some of the comments, but they may be off topic, but then you could react. Okay. Okay, so here's one. This is just comments that the people are listening to us. Live rain is totally crazy as a soup sandwich. Let's see. I'm just gonna read some of the good ones. I'm just going through. Let me see. Somebody said, oh, hey, Julian, how you doing? Someone said, let's see. I think this is about Renee where it says she's from New Mexico, so at the very least, she should know how to cook green chili and tortillas.

Cultural discussion

Do you agree with that? Ooh, I don't know if I wanna. I don't know if that's racist or not. I mean, yes, New Mexico, but I don't. But everyone in New Mexico isn't. Ooh, I don't know if I wanna touch that. See, I'm just reading things without really thinking of any ulterior meanings. Let's see. Let's see. Somebody was laughing that. Somebody was laughing that baby, or Lisa is the manager of a smoke shop. True story, guys. True story. It's in somewhere in Pennsylvania. If y'all are in Pennsylvania, tell me where it's at and tell me if you see her. But this is a true story.

Conversational highlights

She does work at a smoke shop. It's ironic because that smoky voice, right? And then here's a comment about Lauren. It says, playing the ultimate long con, pretending he's into trans to be able to get women. See, that's where I was thinking, too, because I. He made it pretty adamantous that his dream girl was a chick with a dick. And now he's dming every girl. And, yeah, I'm on that. And, you know, a lot of people do that. They pretend to be something that they're not in order to get something else. And if that's what he did, it's fucked up.

Discussions of relationships

But, you know, if it works for him, but it's messed up because, you know, there are people who, you know, are only attracted to trans women, you know, so that's the way of life for them. It's not a choice, it's not an option. It's just who they are. So it's not fair for that. And then here's a comment. We're referencing Julian's earlier conversation where there were, it was from the viral video where they're throwing out all the beauty products. And there's a crowd that formed. So somebody said they live in Atlanta. And then people were showing up with suitcases to take the hairdouse. Oh, I mean, see, I remember seeing the video, and you know what, I learned a lot from jasmine last season when she said how much her weave cost.

Economics of beauty standards

Remember, she was like, it's $300 per track, and she needed, like, six tracks. And I think that's when I started to realize that hair weave is like liquid gold. That was just a lot of money. So I can see people showing up with suitcases, you know, to take. To take the weave, you know, like that. Another thing Julian said that the, her son, they didn't get along and he didn't want anything to do with it. Why wouldn't he hire a liquidator and just the assets and keep the money? You know, you don't have to get along with your mom to liquidate the assets. That's a whole nother like subject for another day. But that caught me as really strange.

Brandon and Mary in context

Yeah. All right, here's a good new topic, which is. So did you see the Brandon and Mary Playpen video? Yeah. They sleep in a playpen. Yeah. I am play pen, right? Yeah. I'm confused. Are you? I'm very confused. I don't know. You would sleep in a play pen. I've seen a lot of weird memes or play pins lately, too. Like, I. Somebody had their gaming system in a playpen, and so this is, like, a thing going on, but I don't. Someone made a funny joke. They said, so Brandon must have his, like, PlayStation hooked up in the playpen stuff.

Contemporary parenting practices

Oh, so he's a kid, too, and that's. Okay. I get it. I get it. But, yeah, I guess it's, like, a thing where. So they don't really have to, like, get. I don't know, that seems like it's just late, lazy parenting where they don't got to get out of bed, and they just. Everyone just chills in the play pen all day. Well, yeah, because I don't think any of them are working. Yeah. Like, they don't really get out of bed all night, basically. I think that. I think for the most part, they just ask people for money on TikTok is that.

Financial Discussions

I think that's how they do things. Right. So there's no real reason to get out of the bed. You know, you can. You can ask for money on tick tock, straight from the play, penniless. Did you notice? I don't want to, like, shame anybody. Brandon's getting kind of thick. I would have to go back and look at the video. I don't. I don't know if you remember when he was on the show, but he was pretty skinny and arrived over there. He's gotten kind of thick, like, so I think that he's eating really well. I'm gonna throw that out there.

Reflecting on social media portrayals

I think he's eating well. You know, the food over there is better. It has way more flavor. So I think that he's a. He's enjoying the cuisine, you know, the culture foods over there, because he's. He's thicker than I remember him. When I saw it, I was like, man, dude's getting big. Also, I'm not shaming him, by the way. I'm just saying. Yeah. I don't know. I guess if you never have to leave your playpen, you're not going to burn any calories. Well, no. Play pen is only, what, like, ten by ten.

Lifestyle habits

Like, you're not going to burn. You're not. You. You're not going to get any good workout laying in a play panel. True. I'm sure they're going to turn that into a new grift. So we'll see. Well, one of these comments, it says the kind of stuff that happens in Espanola. Police arrest a cook at Sonic after a woman took a bite out of her food, and instead of it being food, it was cocaine. Did you see that comment? I think Anna posted it. So Espino is the town that. That's the low rider capital?

Contrasting cultural contexts

Yeah. The low rider capital of the country, you said? Yeah. Or the world. Or the country. Either or. I think. I thought there were low riders in California. I know when I go to California, I always see low riders depending on articles. So that's wild. The idea that's the lowrider capital of the country is, like, so unexpected for me. I don't even know if I've been in New Mexico in my life, like, the state. I don't think I've ever actually been there, but now I kind of want to go.

Traveling experiences

Well, you can go to Albuquerque and go to the breaking bad landmarks. That's what. You know what? That is on my bucket list. That is something that I've talked about. I want to do breaking Bad Washington, monumental, epic show for me. So, yeah, I definitely want to do that. But maybe while I'm there, I'll take a stop in the low rider capital of the world and just see. See all the Lowriders. I thought you're gonna say, stop at the Costco and say hi to Mo. Oh, wait, that's.

Cultural heritage and new preferences

Oh, shit. Yeah. You know what? It's like a tour now. It's like a tour now. I can do all of that. You know what? We should just do the tour. Let's do it all. Go to Espanola. Let's go to Albuquerque. Let's just knock it off or something. And then go to Texas and see, like, Statler and Tiger Lily. Yeah, apparently I was in both of their cities last week, or when was that? Week before. I didn't even realize that I was in Statler and Tiger Lily City until I was there, and people messaged me and were like, are you hanging with them?

Clarifying locations and relationships

And I didn't even realize that was their city. So, yeah, we got to go back also. Well, is Statler in the same city as Tiger Lily? That's what people were messaging me. I don't know. I thought when she first came on the show, I heard that she was from Irving, Texas, is what she said. But I guess people were saying Irving and Frisco are, like, within minutes of each other. I don't. I'm not a big Texas, like, geographic. I didn't realize that.

Exploring social media dynamics

Me neither. And then you can go to he. We can go to Houston and say hi to Michael and say, hey, were promoted. We were the ones on your side versus Angela promoting your GoFundme. Well, see, now this sounds fun. Now I kind of want to do. Oh, and I want to bring up Frisco is very bougie. Oh, really? Yeah. I was in Frisco, and we can't talk about what was going on because it's not. It hasn't been released.

Discussing lifestyle choices

But it was released or what? not really. More marketing side. Yeah. But, for a product, not a tv show. But I thought that it was interesting because Tiger Lily has a very bougie, Persona, selling to us that she's a super filthy rich woman. And I'm gonna say, when I was at Frisco, it was a very bougie vibe. You know, I saw lots of nice cars, nice home. The hotel I was in was very nice, you know, like, it was.

Perceptions of wealth and status

I was impressed. So I'm not saying that Tiger Lily really has money, but he's in a nice area. Yeah. I'm going to put it. That's kind of like me. I don't want to say where I live, but I'm not saying I'm rich, but I'm in, like, a bougie area. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm not. I'm not gonna say I'm rich or anything, but, you know, if you drive down my street, it's nothing but, Range Rovers and cybertrucks, so.

Defining boundaries of experience

But I'm not saying I'm. It's the area. The area will very much fool you. Yeah. Yeah. Like, if I wanted to take a jog, I could jog to, like, a Tiffany's if I wanted to. Oh, I can't do that. I can't do that. Or. Or if I want to take a really long walk, I go. Go to a mall that has, like, a coach store, I'm sure. Oh. Or not coach.

Discussing brand appeals

I mean, chanel or something. Anyway. Oh, see? Yeah, I'm all. Has that, too. The Louie, the coach chanel, the Gucci we got. True. Okay then. Yeah, we both. We both. We're both good, then. I think we're doing okay, right? I think we're doing okay. True.

Perceptions of wealth

Maybe not as Tiger Lily wants us to believe she's doing. Yeah, I don't have. I don't have a. I don't have the rich x money like her. No. No. And I didn't allegedly purchase a $26,000 watch. I didn't. I still stand on business that nobody purchased a watch, and that was completely set up by production. I stand on that business.

Marketing influences

I mean it. I take it to the grave. I guarantee you. They told her to go to that store, pretend like she was gonna buy a watch, and that's what they did. And then the store's name got plastered on the show, and then everybody won, and that watch never left the showroom. I stand on that business. I mean that. Yeah, well, the watch. Even the watch wasn't.

Plots and storytelling structure

Oh, they were gonna order the watch for her, meaning was gonna come to the store or something. Right. Then she would pick it up. So it's not, like, there. Anyway. Yeah, they didn't even have it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure because her Persona was how rich she is and how she likes to finer things. So that was just a scene that they added in there to. To support her Persona.

Examining social media trends

That's all it was. True. All right, let's see. What are the topics? So did you talk to your bestie Kim, about hanging out with Liz and Tyree? I did. I did. Anything interesting? Yeah. Nothing that I can report. Okay, here is something interesting. I forget who told me, but they said, well, you know how, like, Kim and her son and all those good.

Social media interactions

And they do, like, the 90 day bad. Was it 90 day bad boys or what? I forget what it's called. Yeah, 90 day bad boys. Yeah. They just released the video with binium in it. I don't know if you saw it. No, I didn't see it, but I heard that s Scott was, like, clamoring to be in the next 90 day bad boys video.

Interactions with Scott

And then I heard Kim is, like, not a fan of Scott, so she shut that. That down immediately. Yeah, that happened on Kim's live, I think, last night. He. He definitely was posting, saying that he wanted to be in the next 90 day. 90 day bad boys video. And the interesting thing was Josh said that was something he would consider, but he said everyone has to be on board, and he said wasn't on board.

Social media strategy

So I guess, like, by a sure of hands of a vote. It was a guy. So I can't say who voted for yes or who would have no. I don't know that. But he just said it has to be someone that everyone agrees with, and it was gonna be a no. And Kim verified that as well. She was like, no, absolutely. So she's. So if you were on the mo.

Views on character traits

If you were on the 90 day bad boys board of directors, what would be your vote? I mean, if you want to get technical, 90 day bad boys, I would consider Scott a 90 day bad boy. Would you, would you not? Would you not? See, I feel like there's a link there. Yeah. I mean, didn't he call himself, like, hashtag 90 day bad boy or something? Right before the 90 day bad boy?

Scott's persona

Yeah, he was the original 90 bad boy. So, like, if we're talking. If you're a bad boy in the 90 day space, Scott fits into that, you know? But would he fit into the group, the 90 day bad boys? Probably not. I don't see the link between Scott and them. They're just very different, you know? I don't.

The performance dynamics

And, you know, we've all seen Scott dance, and that's. Dancing would be up to par with the 90 day bad boys. Like, Scott's. Scott can move his hips, but can he really dance? Dance, you know, and I think that's important to that. Yeah. And then also, we found out firsthand, like, Scott. Scott doesn't like it when he realizes you're actually making fun of him.

Conversations around grievances

He does not know. When he finds out that people are making fun of him, he gets really upset. Oh, in other news, though, I do want to put this out there, Scott. Okay. So, you know, Scott had some stuff to say about me, and things didn't go well, and we stopped talking, and he. He posted an apology on his Instagram store, which he deleted, and he never actually apologized to me.

Closure in relationships

So I just want to put this out there. Recently, he did reach out and apologize to me, so I just want to put it out there, you know, that he did reach out to me personally and apologize for what took place a few months ago. So I just want to put that out there. And then did it seem genuine? And what was your reaction?

Processing emotions

It seemed genuine. I just felt that there was no way that were going to move forward, period, in any possible way unless he was to apologize. And then I stood by that. I hadn't spoken to him since, so. Since months ago. So when he reached out, I appreciated that he took responsibility, and accountability, because he was out there telling people that I was a shitty friend and a bad person, you know, and I take personal offense to that, because I am a very good friend, and I like to believe I'm a very good person.

Reflections on friendships

So it was a direct character assassination for me. So I. It bothered me. So I gave him that opportunity. You know, for some people, they don't want to hear it. You know, once you piss someone off, they don't care if you're sorry. I did give him the opportunity to say sorry. It did seem genuine. And, you know, I. I have no expectation.

Expectations in relationships

You know, I don't. I don't know what's gonna happen. I have zero expectation. And, you know, if someone does something terrible, you know, you have to tread lightly, and you have to be very careful. So I just felt that the apology was warranted. I deserved that. So I just accepted that, and that's kind of where it is. Okay, so one day, we did your just.

Engaging in dialogue

Your phone rang, and it said Scott on it, and then he picked up. Or was it. Did he dm you first and say, hey, can we get on the phone real quick so we could talk? Right. It was through DM's. It was actually during the hurricane. We were both going through the hurricane, and it was. It started with hope you're safe type situation, and then it went on from there.

Discussing the phone call

Oh, and then it's like, you want to get on, talk on the phone real quick or something. Right, right. Which you. It's fine. It is what it is. You know, I just feel like I said to him, though, you know, I was like, I don't have hate in my heart for you. I just feel that what you said about me was. Was very hurtful because none of it was accurate.

Navigating hurt feelings

You know, I've never said anything about you that wasn't true, and I just. I don't like that you would say something about me that wasn't true. I just didn't feel like that was fair. True. Well, I'm glad that natural disasters brought you all together. You know, nothing brings you together like a 15 foot storm surge. And it's.

Absurd realities

It's fair to. Oh, and then wasn't Scott hitting on, like, the chick. I forget it was a luis or something. The chick from, like, single life with, like, Tim. I did hear that, Louisa, she was with Tim Malcolm on the single season of the single life, which is ironic. The week that he was hitting on Louisa announced her boyfriend on Instagram.

Scott's interactions

Did you see that? No, I didn't see the latter part. Yes. That she's dating someone, and she's really happy. But, yeah, he was hitting on Louisa, which is interesting. Louisa's gorgeous, beautiful, hot. Like, I don't know if y'all remember her from the single life. She had a very minor role because. She was, like, a colombian woman, right?

Memories of relationships

Yes, but living in wherever. North Carolina. North Carolina, yeah. Yeah. But she's very colombian, very hot, and. But her role was minor because she was dating Tim. And Tim, you know, doesn't really date. He's just all up in Veronica's business. He doesn't really do much. So her role was pretty minor. And if you guys remember, the biggest breakthrough we got from her was her and Jamal teamed up to attack Tim and Veronica at the single life tell.

Reflections on events

All of y'all remember that? True. And we found out that her and Jamal hooked up at the tell all. They. They were talking. There was kind of a shady situation, too, because they were in the green room, and they were talking about it, and we had no video, but the production played the audio, so it's kind of shady. So, Veronica. I'm not Veronica.

Power dynamics in shows

Louisa and Jamal were saying, like, oh, what did we do last night in normal? And then they were talking about it. Then that's how we found out that they hooked up, which I kind of was like, oh, slimy. But I kind of like that because I'm not a Tim fan. So it was like the ultimate, like, slap in the face to Tim. Like, he. Tim hated Jamal, so Jamal's like, I banged your girlfriend, bro.

Social media dynamics

You know, like, it was, like, the ultimate slap in the face. Yeah. Well, that whole thing made Jamal look scummy because it showed, right? Yeah. And I hated that for him, but it did. It made it look like because he was with. And then he's obviously. But I think a lot of people didn't realize the time that he broke up with Veronica and the time that the tell all had filmed and aired was, like, eight or nine months in between.

Timeline in relationships

So a lot of people at home are like, oh, my God, he was just having sex with Veronica. And then, like, a week later, he's had having sex with Louisa. There was, like, eight or nine months in between. But you're not wrong. It definitely made it look pretty scummy. You will meet. I don't want to start shitting on your bestie, son, but, I mean, on the show, one for one, it showed that he hooked up with Luisa when she was, like, shit face drunk, allegedly.

Viewing relationships in context

So that's not a good look. And then also on the tell all, he basically, after that happened the night before, he basically went to Veronica, said, hey, let's hang out again, like, ASAP. And Veronica was like, sure, let's hang out. So, yeah, it just showed his, like, little ways. Yeah. Jamal's a young guy, you know, he's a young guy, and he does what young guys do, you know, it is what it.

Perception of youth

The world is his oyster, you know? You know, he's. He's a 90 day bad boy. I guess that's the best way to describe it, right? He's a 90 day true. Speaking of bad boys, I was dming Vanessa. I'm trying to get her on the podcast sometime. Oh, I saw that Vanessa posted a. Picture with, oh, my God, Conor McGregor.

Celebrity interactions

That's huge. How the hell does she meet him? I forget what she does for, like, a living, but she does something in Vegas, and I think it's, like, fitness related or something. So I think it's related to her job or something. Oh, so it's in the realm of work because I was like, holy shit. That's not just somebody that you know, you.

Cultural observations

You know Conor McGregor, that's like the biggest of the biggest in that. In that sport. You know he's a boxer, right? Don't you know I'm not. Mma. Yeah, okay. Mma. Yeah. His. If you know anyone in MMa, you know Conor McGregor. This dude is, like, huge. I don't even watch, and I know exactly who that is. So when I saw that picture, I was like, ooh, I'm jealous.

Experiencing celebrity

I would like to meet someone on that. That's that status, you know? Yeah, I use that post, and it's on my instagram for the people listening, but I use that post as, like, a shot. I think I took a shot at, like, Sean. I was like, finally an irish man I can respect. Whoa. Oh, don't get me started on this Sean dude, right? Like, this something.

Critiquing relationships

Unemployed dude who lives with his mom, who's date, who's married to this milF. His words, not mine. Like, don't even get me started on that dude. Like, I'm not a hater, but, like, I'm trying to understand the, like, she's willing to abandon her children to be with this, like, mid thirties dude with no job who lives with his mom. And I'm just confused. I'm super confused.

Social dynamics

Yeah, well, all the women in the comments are, like, swooning for him, like, head over heels handsome guy and all that shit, but. And as far as. Sorry. Good. No, I've seen the comments, but that doesn't warrant, like, abandoning your kids and moving to another country all over some d. Like, that does not warrant being attractive.

Perceptions of commitment

Like, I don't get how it makes people think so irrationally. Right? Like, she buried him and didn't tell anyone for two years. And in the two years that they've been married, he didn't, like, build a home for her and her kids. He still lives with his mom. Like, I'm just confused. I'm having a brain for. What's the Milf's name again?

Confronting realities

Oh, Joanne. Where she goes by Joe. Yeah, Joanne or Joe. I feel like she's getting. Well, do you think she's getting enough flack of being a shitty mom or not? From the social media? Dragged on Twitter. I don't know if I haven't been on Reddit about her, but I know been getting dragged a lot on Twitter and on different blogs.

Comparative scrutiny

But, you know, I think that people drag shekinah a little harder for being a. Like, I think Shekinah got it a lot harder than Joe did. And I think that's crazy because Shekinah's daughter is 15 or 16. Joe's son is, like, eight. So, like, I don't know why they're letting her off easy because it's worse. This kid is only eight.

Raising children in media

He couldn't take care of himself, feed himself, house himself. He can't do anything on his own. Right. A 15 year old, you know, can really could get a job. Like, I'm not trying to say that it's okay, but, like, they could get a job. This eight year old needs his mother more than anybody could ever need. Like, he can't literally do anything for himself. So the idea that they're not as harsh on her is kind of weird to me.

Cultural discomforts

Yeah, I feel like she's getting it. Getting off way too easy from the fans. But then now I'm trying to remember, was Joe did. Is he doing a thing online where it's like, enter my contest for a free reading or whatever? Because that's what she does. She is. That's it. That's it kind of annoys me.

Marketing efforts

What about you? I mean, I know it's like a good promotional vehicle for her little online business, but it's kind of like. I mean, that's exactly what it is. And I guess that's why it annoys me. I mean, I. So we know that Ashley from the. What was she on happily ever after? Well, she was on before.

Influencing perceptions

No 90 day fiance didn't have that. She does the same thing. Tarot card read. And there was one other. We had another tarot card reader. I'm going blank now. Too many to keep track. Yeah, this is like, literally the same shit, different people. But I think that. Damn, what was that girl's land? It'll come to me.

Repetitive elements in themes

But there was another tarot card, and. I think, well, there's the tarot card readers that are customers, and there's the cast members that go to their tarot card readers religiously. Well, yeah, there's that too. You're right. There's people who only make decisions when they speak to their tarot card reader or their psychic. And then there's the cast members who actually think they're tarot card readers and psychics. And it's becoming really commonplace on the show.

Cultural Acknowledgment

Like, everybody is a witch or a psychic or a tarot card reader to this point. And Joe, apparently this is her only job. So for Joe, she doesn't have, like, a nine to five. She does, like, online tarot card reading, and that's how she met Sean. He did a reading with her, and then he hit on her during the reading, and then that's kind of how it went down.

Discussion on Sean's persona

I have a question for you, though. So I have a lot of people that are under the impression that Sean is a. Allegedly a gigolo. He. He talks to lots of different older women, and then they send him money online. So I was just. I was just curious. Do you think that there's any validity to that? Do you think that maybe, you know, that he uses.

Revisiting gender roles

He, what's the word? Exploits his good looks and tattoos to get money? Older women? That. I haven't heard that about Sean, but I feel like that's something out here about Sarperah. But the Shawn, really, I haven't really heard. So you think Sarper is talking to lots of different women, or pre shakina was talking to lots of different women and they were giving him. I feel like Sarper is more of the gigolo type than Sean.

Comparative assessments

Really? Well, let's. But also, like, the t two was sarper. He was apparently a male stripper. Allegedly. Yes, that. No, it's not alleged. It's true. He admitted it. Yeah. So I don't know. I feel like if you're a male stripper, that goes hand in hand with being, like, a gigolo, like, fucking. You're the chick at the bachelor party.

Reflections on past experiences

Oh, I see what you're saying. So, yeah, this. That actually happens more than people realize you, because they go to the party, and then there's the back room part of the party. So that actually does happen. So, I mean, when you put it like that, you're probably right. It's more. It's more likely Sarper was doing something like that than Sean.

Surface level conclusions

But again, we don't really know what Sean really does. He said that he's like an MMA fighter, but I've had a bunch of people look into, and they said that they can't find any stats of him actually doing any fights. You know, I think he just. He gets money from his baby mama or something. So, wait, you think that the baby mama is sending, like, child support for the child?

Discussions of parenting

Yeah. What you think? Yeah, I feel like it's more than a thought, though, but, yeah, that's what I feel. Oh, okay. I mean, he does have full custody of the child. Bella, which. Did you find that odd? I don't know. I kind of found that odd. I mean, I don't know why. Because fathers can be parents just like mothers.

Judging fairness in situations

So I don't really know why I would find that odd, but it was just odd to me. Yeah. But I feel like that's how he basically makes a living, is he's like a stay at home dad. I thought that was like. I thought that was established, though. Well, yeah. He said if anyone asked what I do for work, he said, I'm a dad.

Reflections on reality

That's what he said in his introduction. I think it literally is like a stay at home dad is how the bills get paid by the mom. Oh. I mean, I didn't. I didn't take it that far. Okay. But that's how full custody and the mom isn't in the picture. You know, child support works in both directions.

Economic evaluations

Whoever has primary custody of that child, that's who's paying child support. So that's very possible. I didn't think about that. And he is living with his mom, so there's no real bills that need. So if he is getting child support, there's not, like, a ton of bills that he would need to pay, so he would be using that money for whatever, you know, he wants to use it for.

Understanding costs

True. And I. But I have heard, on a side note, as I heard, if he's in Dublin. But I did hear, like, Dublin's very more. It's more expensive than you would think. Is it? Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah, it's like any other, like, major.

Economic dynamics of living

Or it's like a mate in terms of, like, cost of living. It's like a major Us city equivalence. I mean, I don't know how much money? I don't even know what currency they use. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I think that there's something off about him. You know, put my finger on it. I think a lot of people are making assumptions, you know, because people are like, oh, well, he probably, like, he's like, well, he said that his.

Social dynamics and realities

His specialty, he loves american MiLFs. So people are like, oh, well, he talks to different. Lots of different american milks, and then maybe visit him once or twice a year. And then the time that they're back in America, they're just sending him money. And we. I noticed that Joanne never really mentions money. Obviously, I think that she's sending him money.

The financial context

You know, I think that's the case. But she's never really mentioned how much, how frequently or, you know, what his excuse is for asking. She's really not spoke on it. But I just. I believe that's definitely what's happening. Mm. Yeah, I just know if. Well, I know if he was single tomorrow, he would make a killing by all these fans.

Recognition in popularity

Yeah, I've seen the women's and swooning in the comments. Some of the comments were very vulgar. I'm going to say it right now. They were very vulgar. Like, I want to say one of the comments where I wish Sean would sit on my face, and I was like, this is Instagram. There are children on this app.

Online interactions

Like, you cannot comment stuff like this on people's photos. I was like, jesus. This is very. I'm sure Josh Weinstein is clamoring to have him in the next 90 day bad boys video. Oh, that is definitely gonna happen. Oh, you know what? Wait, he's in Ireland?

Production dynamics

Because I was like, I know that the bad boys are planning a trip to Australia, but no, different country. If they were gonna be in Ireland, you already know they're gonna set it up. He's definitely gonna be in the video. I already know it. Yeah, he's gonna be, like, in the front of the pack.

Caught in the whirlwind of entertainment

Well, the funny part is, they just did. Bye bye. And sync video that they released yesterday. And Binium was in the video, and I watched it, and what really caught me as interesting was they had been hiding in the back. You couldn't him in, like, the. The video. Like, he was there, but he was, like, in a back.

Media representation

You know how when you watch, like, old NSynC music videos and then there's, like, a guy named Lance and there's a guy named Joey, and they're just in the back and then there's, like, Justin and JC. They're the only people you see. They kind of had Benny. I'm in the back. So when Jamal was live, everyone's like, why didn't y'all give, like, benium apart, like, a better part in the song?

Conveying artistic impressions

And Jamal said it's because he didn't know the words. Like, he didn't know the song. And I'm like, yeah, autumn. Like, you could have taught him the. Song at least, like, the chorus and shit. Well, right? Because I was like, I mean, that's not a good. I felt like they didn't use him to his. You know, because dances like crazy.

Observations on performing arts

Yeah. Like, I feel like. I think that's a. Yeah. I think the reason they gave you was bullshit. I think the true answer is they didn't want to be upstaged by Binium, who's, like, a showman. He can fucking do flips his abs, and he's, like, athletic. He didn't want to be up. They didn't want to be upstaged by him.

Theories of competitiveness

Yeah, that's. That's what a lot of the comments were saying, too. They were like, y'all just didn't want him to dance better than you or whatever. I don't know. Again, I'm not trying to shit on the 90 day bad boys, but, like, benyam is, like, in tip top shape, and, like, you know what I mean?

Physical expectations

Yeah, yeah. Benny him, has always been in tip top shape. You know that if he knows the inside of any building, it's a gym, right? Like, if binium knows the inside of any building, it's a fucking gym. That dude has always been in good shape. And he dances like crazy. Like he's a break dancer. Like, any type of dance you put in his face, I'm pretty sure he could do.

Media manipulation

So I don't know. Because, you know, they used Jovi in one of their videos, and they put him front and center. You know, Joey was right there. Yeah. Because they were. They were threatened by Jovi stealing other women. Right. Like, they put him right and center, but then they get Benny him and put him in the video, and they hide him in the back.

Critique of production choices

And I'm like, I don't know, guys. That's weird. You just act like if you didn't. If I squinted a little bit, I might have missed it, you know? Like, that's weird. Yeah. Like, I'm sure if they get, like, a swaalu, they're gonna have him in front and center dancing, doing some samoan dance and shit.

Showcasing diverse talents

Yeah, doing that samoan dance, he's definitely doing that front and center, right in the front. So, yeah, it was just interesting to me that, you know, when you get. That's just like, you're a new rapper, right? So you're a new rapper, and you can get a. A feature, right, from Drake or Kendrick Lamar or future, you're gonna put that person right smack in the front of the video so everybody can see your video.

Analyzing opportunities

It was just really weird because I feel like binium was a good feature for them. Like, it was a very braggable feature that they. They didn't use properly. That was just my opinion. I'll have to go watch it just for binium and see what you're talking about. Yeah, I forget you're not, like, a 90 day bad boy fan, so I.

Recognition of trends

This one. This one was a good one, though. It was nsync. Bye. Bye. And they were in Vegas. I'm pretty. Vegas. And it was a really. It was pretty good. I'm not going to lie. It was pretty good. If they do their next video at a TJ Maxx in Vegas, I'll be the first one to watch.

Future events

Actually, Lauren, I think Lauren would probably do it. Like, I feel like Lauren is at this point. He would do anything people asked him to do. I just. I don't know. I wonder if Lauren can dance. Okay, okay, what about this? Like, they put Lauren in, like, a costume of, like, a cartoon STD and then have him dance and say bye bye to gonorrhea. This is actually good.

Creative ideas explored

I know, but this is actually good. Like, you put them, you know, when you're in school and they're teaching you stuff, and then there's, like, a mascot. Mascot. And what was it the dog that told you not to do drugs or whatever? Like, the gonorrhea. Don't. Don't get gonorrhea. Mascot. Like, this is actually good. This is comedy gold.

Suggestions for awareness

Like, I would totally know. That would be brilliant. And then Lauren would do it. He would just say, lauren, I'm gonna give you, like, $20. And they'll be like, fuck y'all do this shit. I feel like Lauren for a diet Pepsi. Yeah, like, give him money. He would do it for, like, a diet or maybe, like, one night free at a hotel.

Experiential perspectives

Like, I feel like he would totally do it. You don't even need to, like, go out of your way. It could probably be a motel. It doesn't even need to be a hotel. Yeah, he'll do it for, like, a freaking, like, a box of matches or something from a restaurant. I mean, yeah, a free appetizer coupon. He's all there. Yeah.

User expectations

So, no, that'll be. I feel like that's. That could be. That should be the next video. I would watch it. Honestly, I would watch it. And I think that the 90 day bad boys have definitely. I think they were talking yesterday, and one of their videos. I think the greenhouse video got 1.3 million views.

Growing popularity

I was just talking about this with Julian earlier. I really do think this 90 day fiance world is taking on, like, a universe of its own. Can you imagine 90 day cast members doing a parody video of another song and it has 1.3 million views? Like, that's the reach of the 90 day universe.

Cultural phenomena

It's almost, like, unstoppable. Well, obviously, if we're doing a podcast about. Well, I was gonna say, look at you. You posted that big ed meme. Do you remember? And how many. How many views did that get? I think you said, like, over a million, right? Dog meme. Yeah.

Analyzing responses

I could see. I forget how many views, but I know, like, as far as likes it has. I can put. I'm sorry. It has. Sorry. Is my audio still on? No. Yeah, I can still hear. Okay. I think I was, like, 275 likes and 285 shares and some 85k. Holy crap.

The Popularity of '90 Day Fiancé'

And that's a meme. Like, that's. And that's a 90 day specific me. Like, a lot. If you don't watch the show, it would be kind of hard for you to understand that just shows you what this show has gotten because it's gotten. You know, I started a podcast five years, almost five years ago, and nobody cared. Nobody listened to it at first. And then all of a sudden, 90 day fiancé just took off. It was just this huge phenomenon that it's just taken over, and I feel like it hasn't even hit its peak yet, which is crazy, because we're ten years in. You know, once certain shows have been on for so long, it just loses it. I feel like 90 day hasn't lost its. Its crazy appeal yet. You know, I think that production and is slowly stabbing it to death. You know, they're ruining it. But I feel like the appeal, it's still. It's still relevant, you know?

Podcast Success and Global Reach

And then just for the record, our podcast, which has only been out for, like, three weeks or so, has already been downloaded over a thousand times. So thank you for everyone that listens to the recorded shows. That's amazing. Thank you so much. And not only just a thousand downloads, but in different countries, I think you. Earlier this week that we were number 52 out of all the podcasts in Taiwan. Can you even imagine? And that number doesn't count. Like, the people listen to it on Twitter. That just means people listening on, like, Apple and Spotify. Yeah, yeah. Twitter doesn't even count. And I was like, we're not 52 in Taiwan, so that means that there's 51 other podcasts and then us in that whole, like, in that country. And it's just. It's. It's mind blowing to me because it's. It's just wild to see how far the reach goes. And I think that's what gets me every time. When my podcast hit 500,000 downloads, it was just. It was just phenomenal. It was just crazy to me.

Reflections on Past Experiences

And I was like. I was number, I think at my peak, number 20 in Canada. Out of all the podcasts that people listen to in Canada, I was number 20, and I was just like, people really care about 90 day fiancé that much. It's crazy. Well, I guess when you're. Yeah, well, in Canada, the weather's so shitty, you need your entertainment. Well, get this, because a lot of people that listen to the podcast that are from Canada tell me that the show doesn't even air in Canada. You have to use a VPN to even get it. So imagine that many people were listening to my podcast for a show that they can't even really watch. Like, that was really what blew my mind because I was like, holy crap, y'all are listening to a podcast for a show that you have to, like, download a VPN just to watch. Like, that's what's wild.

Promotion and Accessibility

And just let me do a quick plug. So in case y'all don't know, we're on like Apple, Spotify, and all those other major podcast platforms, you just got to look up 90 day fiancé Friday’s podcast, and it should pop up. Yeah, it's. You type in 90 fiancé Fridays. It pops up. It's there. It's super easy to find, and it used to only be available here live and for playback only for people who had a Twitter account that is no more. Now you can listen anywhere. In your car, at work, on an airplane, if you buy the Wi-Fi, literally anywhere. So make sure you're listening. And thanks. Thanks to everybody who even bothers to listen, because I know when I'm in my car and I have, like, an hour long, I listen to podcasts. So I know that everybody's time is valuable. So I'm just really grateful that people want to hear me talk for an hour. Like, that's crazy to me.

Coco's Situation and Stressful Transitions

And if people were wondering what happened to Coco tonight, I think she's moving to Vegas, like, imminently, so that's why she had a run. Yeah, Coco is moving, and this is very stressful for her. It was a very abrupt move. So she's got a million and one things happening. I think there's movers literally at her house right now. So she's got a billion things. But hopefully, once she gets settled in, we're going to have her back from start to finish again, so we can have the team all back together. And captain Picard will be back very soon. She just got married, guys, which was huge. We're for her. We want her and her husband to have a good honeymoon, but we need her also to get her ass back here so we can have her commentary as well. You were some of the few people that know what captain Picard looks like now.

Personal Connections and Anecdotes

So I know. I feel like such an elite member of an elite group right now because I know what, like, again, I've always been trying to put a face to the voice. And honestly, when I saw the picture, I was like, is it weird that this is what I thought she would look? No. Yeah. Like, that's the same reaction. I was like, yeah, it kind of matches. I know, right? Like, I was like, that's so weird. I've never seen this person in my life. But that's exactly what I thought she would look like. So that. That was pretty awesome. True. Okay, here's the high. Here's a question for you. I forget then his name, but the head of, like, okay, who. Who do you think is more likely to listen to a 90 day fiancé podcast? The head of TLC or Matt Sharp?

Industry Insights and Podcasting

Matt Sharp. Okay, well, Matt Sharp, if you're listening, if you want Captain Picard's photo, let me know. I have the inside skinny. Yeah, I think it would be Matt Sharp. I mean, the head of TLC, they're less involved with, like, the minutia fiancé. Yeah, they're less involved, but the sharp corporation is who created the show and does the production there. Way more involved because they want to know, you know, what people think of their work. Like, this is their work, so they're way more involved. TLC, literally, they just purchase the product from them. They don't really care what the product is. I'm totally feeling what you're saying, though, if you're a good president of programming, you should be just as involved as the Matt Sharpe of the world.

Content Creation and Authenticity

No, I 150% agree. I think that you should be fully involved in anything on your network, because everything. You shouldn't have strong points and weak points on your network. Everything should be strong. So I agree with you. I think that they should be involved and make sure that their content is equally valuable. I agree. And I'll go even a step further. If you're a really good, nevermind the Matt Sharps, the world, no offense, but like, if you're a really good president of programming and you're the head honcho of TLC, so basically you have everyone's information as far as cast and like celebrities and shit. Like, what you should do is say, since I'm the head guy at TLC, and I know, like, if I want to call up Jovi or whoever on my cell phone, or I could access anyone I want and say, hey, like, these content creators that are really supporting our shows, you know, for the love of the game, not necessarily for money, let me, like, go out of my way and say, hey, Jovi and Yara, y'all need to hook up with George and Shiboudy, get on their podcast by my direction, because I want to see y'all out there recon, you know, connecting with the content creators with my blessing.

Missed Opportunities in Marketing

Yeah. I don't think that they don't take advantage of the podcast circuit and, you know, the, like, I think they go straight to, like, ET and US Weekly and entertainment tonight, you know, that they don't take advantage of, like, the podcast and the blog errors and the, what do you call it? Free media. You know, we're not connected to any media source. We're just free media. And I think that they ignore that, and I think that's a huge, that's a huge loss for them because the fans are not watching entertainment tonight interviews. They're watching and they're looking at the memes and they're looking at the post and they're clicking on the hashtags and they're seeing what other people are saying, you know, I'll watch a entertainment tonight interview if somebody sends it to me, but I'm not gonna go look for it, you know?

Authenticity vs. Edited Interviews

So when they put them on those interviews and do those things, I'm not looking for that as much as I'm looking for what other people are saying. Yeah, exactly. Like the die-hard core super fans, they're going to be into the accounts, like, ours where we're spilling tea and funny memes and all that shit. Live tweeting. We're the ones, you know, are breaking the news. So we're way more relevant than even the mainstream accounts when it comes to the show. Well, we're. We're telling you what's really going on. We're telling you if you see Natalie in a Nordstrom's rack, she's going to be a complete bitch to you. We're telling you what's really going on. Yeah. Entertainment Tonight. That they're not gonna say, like, if you want to know what's real, that's what we're gonna tell you.

Censorship and Control in Media

If you want to know what they approved entertainment tonight to tell you can go watch that. But that's not what you want to know. What you really want to know is what we're gonna tell you. Yeah, well, that's. That's why the fans appreciate us more than, like, some other bullshit mainstream account. Well, yeah, well, mainstream. They all work together, so they're all. They're approved interviews because, you know, I've done interviews with cast members, tons of them, and every time I do the interview, I have to send them the questions ahead of time to get them to approve them. And then I have to send them a link to the interview so they can watch it first. Like, so whatever you an interview, it's not real. Anything that they.

The Illusion of Authentic Interviews

When they pre-watch it and then they send it back to me. Delete this, change this. You're only getting what? It's not real. That's only what they do. Yeah. Anytime I have, like, US in the past where if I had, like, a celebrity interview and if a publicist got involved and wanted to, like, pre-screen it, interview questions, I basically, I would get really pissed off because I'm like. Because a lot of the interviews, they'll be based on a personal relationship with the celebrity. So I'm like, can you get your publicist the fuck off? Because I'm trying to do a real interview. Yeah, there's no such thing anymore. Real interviews are not real. Wendy Williams fucked it up for everyone. Like, now people are so scared that you're gonna go rogue during an interview. Like, that's why they want all the questions ahead of time.

The State of Interview Dynamics

They want to proofread. They want to. They take it. Because even when I do video interviews, they. I have to send them the copy before I post it so they can approve. Even though they know the questions that I asked, they approve the questions. They still want to watch it to make sure that they approve of it. So, yeah, it's so. It's so scripted. It's so. It's. It's. They paint a picture of what they want you to hear and say to the point where you notice, I stopped doing interviews recently. Like, I just stopped because it's. It's not real. You're not getting anything real. You're only getting little pieces of information, and it's boring. Like, I hate to say it, but it's boring. People want real information.

Final Thoughts on Interviewing

Yeah, true. All right. Do you want to. We're kind of nearing the end, but you want to see if Lana has an update on their murder mystery? Yeah. I would like to hear what's going on with this murder mystery with Lana. Do we. Did we go through all those topics? That's wild. There were so many topics I didn't think we could go through. Here we bust room. I guess the only other thing we talked about, like, so we're on the same page as why we think Renee is not invited to the tell all. Probably because she runs her mouth and breaks NDA. Is that why? Yeah, I think that she'll go to the tell all and she'll say too much, and then they'd have to just edit it out anyway.

Conclusions on Guest Dynamics

Like, I feel like when she went rogue and posted all that stuff and Chitty and his sister posted all that stuff, they realized that they couldn't be trusted. And, you know, inviting them there, they're gonna say things that they don't want to use, that are gonna have to edit it out. So it's probably just easier to not invite them. I am going to say this. If they're not going to be at the tell all, just edit them out of the whole damn season. Like, I just want to be real. Like, when I watch a tell all, I want to get a conclusion to everything, not just a conclusion to what you want me to know. So, like, if they are not going to make it to the tell all, I don't want to see them in the season.
