 It's about time we start taking ourselves a little more serious around this place. And we need to hear some pimping right quick because we ain't heard none all day. If you keep bringing that guitar to work, man, we ain't gonna use it one day. That's what it sound like when God damn James Brown was on this way to the concert. It's a sample. This one of them angry black men says what I'm saying is 60s. Gotta have that bass. You got the bass right there. He's scared to play this shit, though. Ooh! Man, you got to walk with the bass. Brunondum hats look like Jimmy John's logo. I don't care what you been told, Jack, get off of my back. Yeah, I can see why you said that. I can see that. I can see that. It is right there. But I didn't see what you been told, Jack. It was all the two. Get off of my back. Black man. That's not what I meant to do. So where are you from? I'm from Kansas City. Kansas City. Yeah, Kansas City. Casey Murray. Yeah. See? It's another one. I don't know why y'all beefed out. It's not even a name. That's town business. That's town business. That's town business. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My first husband born in Kansas City, Missouri. I thought Kansas City, Kansas was like a world away. This shit is seven minutes away, my nigga. No river, nothing. No railroad. This is like right there. I'm like the mall that you go to is in Kansas City, Kansas. If you live in the Good Mall is in Kansas City, Kansas. If you live in Kansas City, Missouri. What? No. No, no, no, no, no. We have the Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. The Chiefs play in Kansas City, Missouri. The Royals play in Kansas City, Missouri. What's the mall in Kansas City, Kansas? Don't do this with her. Don't do this with her. No, they beefed out. I don't know what happened up there. They beefed out. The outdoor outlet mall? No. The one with the Nordstroms on it. Maybe that's Kansas City, Missouri on the Plaza. I don't know about the Plaza. That's that outside with the fountains and everything? No, no, no. Not that one. I'm talking about, no, the Plaza is an indoor mall. No, it's not. It's outdoor. The one I'm talking about in Kansas City, Kansas is an indoor mall. That's nothing. That's in Kansas. That's an open-part Kansas. You're talking to me like y'all blurs and crips. No disrespect. I just feel like hold on now. Let's get it right if we're going to get it at all. This is our city. Chico goes to the mall. Because I go to cities and I go to the mall. I go to the mall and they be like, you know, you bought Chico. I know he needed it. If I know anything, I know the malls in every city. You don't do any online shopping? No. You just got to feel it in person, see if the pants been right. Yeah, because they should come and it don't feel right. And then you got to end up going to the mall to take it back. That's how I feel. So you might as well go to the mall first time and not have to worry about shit. I don't like to feel the firework, see how it is, and everything, see if it fits. You make weird these days. Exactly. Oh, for you, you got thick boy problems? Yeah, you can say that. Yeah, you can say that. What's this? Leather right here? No, these are my people, man. They imported European, what's that? Shout out to Kappa, man. They reached out to me and they said they really liked the way I'd be liking the way, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Because I'd be putting it together and they reached out to me on some player shit and they said, you know, we're going to send you this care package because we're caring there. You know why I fuck with the Kappa shit, but I just always feel strange wearing some shit, called Kappa, and I'm an alpha. Hey, man, I feel like it. It's strange, my name. I feel like it's going to attract the right type of energy. If you look at the logo, it's two ladies. Two ladies, yeah. But now get back to the bag. That's how you like it, right? It look like the truck lady. I just like to put that shit out. Lady on the truck? Mm-hmm. Well, so who do we have the pleasure? Oh, we ain't even get to the parking. Yeah, I mean I'm just like... Are we starting? Are we starting? No. This is the pre to the pre? Yeah. Yeah, because I feel like... This is the pre and we're still in the conversation. I want the truck like that. Let's just really get strange in the conversation. Let's do it. No, that's how we just... Well, we knew that's how we get running. That's how we run the 85% show. That's how we get running. You know what I mean? Yeah. We're still waiting on a few final numbers to come in and things are going to be better and just let the atmosphere kind of settle. You know what I mean? Well, that's good. I like that you brought up my city, Kansas City, because that's what I brought up. Yeah, 100%. I can tell. I scooted over a little bit just to be safe. Because I felt the... Y'all don't know this lady. Y'all don't know this lady. Y'all don't know this lady. I know this lady. Well, you got to know this lady, man. You got to know this lady. I'll tell you in a minute, but... I want to let some of the Jay Brown play for a minute. You can give them a few fun facts before we really just kick in the door with your folk folk. Give us a fun fact about Kansas City that we wouldn't know. Something historical about your city that the majority of the country would not know unless you were from Kansas City. Damn. Okay. She couldn't even make a shit too difficult. I mean, hold on. Not the way she just talked to me. No. She should know everything. Okay. Well, okay. So, I'm from Kansas City. I grew up off 78th Street in Troust. Okay? And Troust is, you know, historic street in Kansas City, Missouri, because it was the dividing line, right, between blacks and whites, right? Back in Jim Crow days. And so that is very interesting, because if you go to that part of the city, there are a lot of, you know, historic areas. And it's just one of those big things. And a lot of people in Kansas City know that. I don't think anybody outside of it would know that, but... There you go. Yeah. Mission accomplished. The dividing line, yeah. The dividing line. Yeah. What's your barbecue spot? I mean, that's gay's barbecue. Okay, let's go. Like, I got to give it. You know, that's the original right there. Shut up. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. That big sewer lid. Yeah. It's a Ninja Turtle Wastel. It's a sewer lid full of meat. That's heavy. That's that. Press and plug. Saloon to brother KT, because he will call and just pray for you. Love. Love. Love. All the time. Always call. How's the brother? Don't... He don't want nothing. He don't ask you for nothing. He just call and give you a prayer, man. Saloon to you for that, brother KT. I know. Look at this. I get that beef on bread right there. You know, in Kansas City, it's known for its burnt ends. It has the best barbecue in the nation. A lot of people like to debate with me on this subject, but it's not up for debate. So, you know... I'm going to open up a barbecue spot one day. Atlanta barbecue? Mm-hmm. Like, how would you cook the meat? I'll tell you something about him. That nigga on them ribs. He a cold motherfucker. Okay, beef for pork ribs, though. Pork ribs. See, I like beef ribs. I don't know. You want the big dinosaur ribs. I like those big, big, you know, meat falling off. There's this other place in Kansas City called Jack Stack, and they have gigantic beef ribs. Beef ribs and pork ribs take a totally different... I know I prefer the beef taste, you know? Yeah, some other shit going on. But I got to see these pork ribs you talking about, though. She did. I made some ribs so good that little boy told his dad, Dad, I like this chicken. What? He didn't know what else to call this. Dad, I like this chicken. That's some fat shit. But you can't use any of that liquid smoke. That's not real barbecue. I don't know. I got to make sure. Uh-uh. I can make the best ribs you ever had with about four ingredients. What? You think I'm going to get on this show and tell my ingredients? Four ingredients? You ain't got me fucking... There's probably some pre-made barbecue sauce in that. Okay. You probably using some from Kansas City and asking for sauce. Sauce is the language that you need if you really do a barbecue. Yeah, you got to put some sauce on the ribs unless you talk about that drug. I don't like how you're trying to downplay my shit. I want it butt naked first. I want it no sauce first. Let me see if you really know what you're doing. Then I go see what your sauce is. That's a wild Florida shit, though, because that's where you from. See, I do clear things up here. I don't eat ribs. I don't even eat ribs. But this was years ago, but when he made them ribs, when I seen how people was reacting to them ribs, I had to taste the ribs and I understood why they were reacting like that. Mike's father came and crept around. This is his daddy. This is the nigga that birthed him. That nigga that helped him be born. That nigga was sneaking around trying to get to them ribs. As soon as he came in with that tray, I said, you don't know nothing about that. Let me get a piece of that. You don't know nothing about that. I was like, damn, Pop, you was waiting on them and everybody just swung them. I said, man, buddy, nice like that. Hey, hey, it's the fucking guy right here. Crab, come on. Give me credit. As a man, you got to have one go-to thing that you just amassed as far as chef. What's that for you? Me, steak. Really? Yeah, it's a wrap. Okay. I'm just making sure. Yeah, you just hold it over there and be like, shh. Easy. Yeah, easy. It ain't got to be on there long, but it's going to come out right. It's always going to be right. It's never going to be wrong. Okay. Just once you get the base thing down, you're done. What about you, Chico? Bobby Q Chicken Wings. Bobby Q Chicken Wings. And that's one of the things where it don't matter where or it don't matter what your function is, if I bring those, they're going to be black who may be. I don't give a fuck who it is, where it is, white people, black people, Asians, they're going to spend... You have Asian people in your shit. Yes. Yes. Yes. True story. Yes. Bobby Q Chicken Wings. Damn. Damn. What you... Yeah, exactly. What you going to make for that lady? I'm known for my seven cheese macaroni. There's no macaroni. Regular cheddar. What you going to make for the dudes? Monster wrap. Talking about pepper jank. Sweets. Oh, man. Okay, I thought you were going to say, I'll see how I go, but I'll see. Niggas got to get excited with that macaroni cheese. I put popcorn cheese in there. Popcorn cheese. Cheese Wings. Go on top. You ain't even going to taste it. That's the only type of cheese in VLV. Do you have a dish that you may... Are you a cook? Yeah, I love to cook. I cook a lot of healthy things because it's really just me. So I just... Is that your way of saying your stuff is a little nasty? No. Okay, hold on. My responsibilities for Thanksgiving are the greens and the macaroni and cheese. Okay. Those are important. Those are the... You're a sad chick. Market, I think there should be a lady, some lady who plays off of that. Those are important. You just call it the side chick. Those are some of the staples for Thanksgiving. And it's a restaurant with none besides. Hey, man, this would be the perfect time to tell them, Welcome back to the N5... For those of you who don't know, man, I really be out here in these streets in traffic on the weather channel of early drinking coffee and watching the news. And I always tell you, it's all about bringing people to the trap that y'all don't know nothing about. Now this lady right here... Find this news lady in America. I said it. I told her, hey, you got to come to the trap. Now she ain't came down here. They got a whole show. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the trap, Demetria. Thank you for coming. Well, you might remember me from your show Out in Dallas a few years ago. You got the chop on the dresser, baby. Yeah. That's a ghetto legendary song. Exactly. That's what that was. Chop? That was that shit. No, but I'm excited to be out here. You know, I'm hosting a new show for Revolt TV called Black Girl Stuff. You love it? What is Black Girl Stuff? Black Girl Stuff, I mean, it's everything. On the show we talk about social issues, fun stuff too, and it's through the lens of basically this very diverse cast of black women who come from all different walks of life. I mean, it's just amazing. I feel like we're giving voices to the voiceless here, and you got to catch our next show. It's going to be dropping here in a couple of weeks, so. You know what you should do? You got Black Girl Stuff. You should have a segment called the side chick segment where women come and make sides on the show. Okay, because I was about to say you better say that, because I don't know anything about the rest of that. I'm talking about the sides. You just got to stay with me. They come and make greens and macaroni and I make the man. Well, that's why you have the man to make the man, then I'm going to come in here and, you know, make everything up. I feel like we're getting shorted in this deal. I remember they used to make both. They did. I'm not fucked at half-shoot, man. I'm not doing that. I was thinking the grill, because anything outside the grill, I'm not. Yeah, that's right. You know what I mean? I want to get to that point where you get to have the towel over your shoulder until you reach a certain point in life. No, this is how you know you're really good on the grill. If three people call you before you put any meat on it, that's how you know. Don't you start a cooking yet? No, we ain't going to do nothing about two-thirty-three-plus. We on our way. You know shit like that when you start getting them calls. The people ask you, do you need anything and they bring it because that's when the shit, they like, all right. You ask somebody to run to the store and they run right to the store. That's it right there. That's it right there. That's a real one. So how did it start for you with it? Of course, we know Kansas City, Missouri, but how did you get into doing what it is that you do? Oh, man, so I went to KU, right? Rock Chop. Rock Chop, J-Hawk. That's our chant.

First in Kansas City at a TV station, I started off doing traffic. Then I went to Vegas, which is kind of like my second hometown. They started calling me traffic bay and stuff, but you know, I was really good at my job. And then from there I got the call to Dallas. And I started working there as an anchor, traffic, digital show host, all of that. And you know, we just keep climbing, climbing, climbing. So yeah, it's been a, it's been a ride almost 10 years. Traffic bay. Yes, hashtag traffic bay. Look at it. We remember it. Oh, you remember that? Yeah. What do you remember about it? I saw it a little bit. Because you know, you had a little thing that was saying you weren't supposed to be like this. And yeah. Yeah, Chance the Rock, the show's big love on that. Yeah, how are you not supposed to be how you are? Yeah, I was just a body shaming type of thing where a lady didn't, you know, felt like I was too big to be wearing the clothes that I was wearing. And so, Chance the Rock. Nah, her dude was watching too close. Yeah, they was watching too much. Yeah, he had to see if he used this. Hey, shut the fuck up. I need to kill you. Oh shit, I think you know what the temperature is. It's traffic. Yeah, fuck it. Shut up. I've been with you for 22 years. I asked you for two fucking minutes a day all the way. Yeah, some people even have hit me up, you know, saying things about my traffic segments. I don't even know if I want to get into it. But just crazy things. I mean, working on the news, working on television. I mean, you get all of those crazy messages in D.E.S. I've had people, couples coming me like, would you? I'm not gonna say anymore. So I'm just saying, couples come to me like, your segment really gets us going. And I'm like, wow, this is really interesting. Who knew? Some traffic on 435 would have people losing their minds. I don't know. Yeah, I understand. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. And I'm like, I shop at Dillard's all the time. I don't know Dillard's time. I understand. You just bored at the house, man. Anything that can spark that relationship up, man. You never know. They can go turn that TV on, that traffic on, like, baby, come in here. You imagine the motherfuckers in jail. The whole jail's your quack. Well, you know, it's crazy. You know, the whole thing is worth it about traffic like about, shit, the fuck off. Freeway backed up like a motherfucker. Oh, but a lot of my supporters have, you know, sent me jail mail and stuff, prison mail. I've gotten a lot of that. What the hell you do with it? Well, first of all, I mean, a lot of them are really nice. Sometimes they'll get out. Like, this happened a lot in Dallas. Like, I've been working out, and a guy just got out of jail, and he would like, hey, I used to watch you all the time. It kept me going, and I'm just like, I'm glad you're out. You're right, man. Camel round, man. Stop. Stop. Fight for my freedom. What's wrong with you? Keep me going, then you kept me going. Stop, man, stop. That was a dope thing. There was even some people who were music artists. Yeah, very informative, too. No, there were some of that, but then some of the weirdos, too. Unfortunately, you get that in every business, like the people who become stalkers eventually. How do you navigate that as a woman? And I mean, just as a woman doing anything, you have to navigate that. But you're a public figure. So one of the things that people that aren't public figures don't understand is when you go out, you only see who you see, but everybody sees you. So how do you navigate living your normal life being somebody that you already get it from what you do and then being a lovely lady? How do you deal with that? I'm going to be honest. It's not been easy. I mean, in Dallas, I love Dallas, Texas. The people are so supportive of me, but some of the worst experiences in my life happened in Dallas, Texas. I had three adult men that I had to pursue legal action against people that I never met in my entire life that were stalking me actively. There was one man who came to the TV station, like 3.30 in the morning. That's when we're at work. And he came dressed in a tux with a sign saying, Demetria, will you marry me with the ring? And the security was so convinced by what he looked like. And his whole get up, like, oh, Demetria, must know him. They almost led him into the studio. And this is somebody who had been following me. I mean, sending really profane, really terrible things to me. It just was very, very scary. It's even to this day, I still have to deal with it. And these are people I've never spoken to, aside from saying, the police told me to tell you to stop, or you're going to go to jail. And they don't stop. And so it just was that constantly. And it's something that I'm constantly having to deal with. And so I'm a very friendly person if you catch me in public. But sometimes I'm like, yo, just I got to be careful, because there's a lot of people out there. You don't even know that they've sent you 20,000 messages. And they're coming to you in person. And you don't realize that they've been stalking you for years. And they didn't trigger everyone that you were answering personally. Like, I know you know what I said. I know you look, yeah. And there's some people get really angry and men who threaten violence and stuff. I mean, that and all of the dozens of pornographic images, most more than dozens hundreds. She got nails out there like slim off players club. I mean, it's crazy. So yeah, it's hard. It's hard, you know, so be, you know, just be a person. Yeah. Hey man, this is because you see somebody every day don't mean you know that person. That don't mean like. Well, there were people who would think I'd be speaking to them in code doing my traffic reports. They'd be like, oh, you said 1408, E71. So those was the first digits of your phone number right there, right? And they would be sending me stuff from prison. Just weird stuff. No, I don't know. I was just given an address for a traffic report. Avoid this area. What if he got it right? He wasted his chance to win a lot of ads. Where would you receive your jail mail at? You know, some people would send it to the TV station and then some people had found my home address, you know? And so that was really, really scary. And so then it's like, oh, I gotta get the police involved. And so it's like constantly a police matter. You know, cause you have to document. How'd you find my address? But you're in Atlanta. Yeah. That's what I'm telling you. You're here now or you're still in Dallas? I'm here in Atlanta right now because that's where the show is filmed. But we already, we already broadcasted. You know what I mean? We gonna show it later. Yeah. But I always, you know, I'm everywhere, I'm everywhere, right? But it's like, yeah, we shoot the show here. So when I'm working. Is it a love for what you do that keeps you from saying fuck this shit and, you know, not being a public person anymore? Because I'm sure that's traumatizing, you know what I mean? You get unsolicited, everything. Like, is it just simply the love for what you do or do you have an ultimate goal that you're trying to get to that you just? Ultimate goal, all the way, Chico. I mean, I don't let anything stop me. It's nothing that you can say to me. I mean, you could try to scare me, do weirds, whatever. I don't, you know, this is my path. This is what I'm built for and I'm from Kansas City. Like, you know, as we grow up a little tougher, I don't know, but I'm just like, I don't play that. And I, you know, I was getting to things and I'm just like, I could start talking that, you know, talk right now, but I don't play about that, so. Don't even do it. You know what I mean? You know, try me, like, you know. But, yeah, other than that, I think that people who follow me, who've supported me over the years, like they know my heart. I'm a good, strong person. And so, try it if you want. Yeah. You got a show called Black Girl Stuff. Yes. Welcome back to Black Man Stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I'm called Black Man. You didn't even know we had a show called Black Man Stuff. Right. You know, we was just talking about, you know, inflation and the, you know, the housing crisis and things like that. Oh, yeah. Because, you know, us as Black Men, we have to be worried about shit like that. Hell yeah. So, how you feel about the Atlanta traffic? I gotta get your perspective on it. Oh, wow. So, do the traffic later. Oh my God, it's crazy. You thought you were gonna come in and not talk traffic with us? Right here? Yes. I'm 75 South. No, hold on. Yeah, no, it's crazy. I mean, the thing that people warned me about coming to Atlanta is like, don't have road rage, because you never know what somebody might do. Right? And I kind of have a temper and stuff. Like, I'm just be that person. You got road, you suffer from road work. Oh, you gotta relax. Yeah, I had to relax. I was like, let me relax. Because I was like, hope you don't ever know. That is ironic. You gotta cool out. It's out of the traffic, lady. Got road break. Yeah, I know. That's dangerous right there. Right. Right. I heard that, I mean, you just gotta be really careful how you move. And one of my friends used to live out here. So for me, I'm just like, okay, let me chill. Like, you know, I've had people do some crazy things to me on the road, but I'm just like. What did your road rage develop? I was listening to T. Grizzly first day out and it just hit me so hard that I was like, yo. That's when it started. That's when it started. That's when it started. You think it started on my damn phone? Yes. And the bless that she's like, fuck these cars. That's crazy. Now, I just listened to my music real loud, everything, that's kind of how I grew up. Like, you know, for me, I just go run a lot of people with 15s in their vehicles. Yeah, the spinners on the wheels and stuff. So for me, it's all about that vibe. That vibe. So I vibe so heavy about being cool. Yeah, that's how I feel. Right. Just rolling with that. Exactly. That's crazy. Literally, so for me, I'm like, it gets you in that mode. I'm like, well, hold on, chill out. You know, you know, put on some washing or something. Relax. It's not that serious. Don't let that music hype you up now. Shit. Don't let the, yeah. I'm listening to Lil Baby right now. You know, no. Yeah, Lil Baby won't get to the bed. He won't get back to making money, man. No, I know. It's been amazing, though. I love that there's so much culture out here in history. It's been great. I feel like, you know, I need a little bit more time to do some exploring and stuff, but you guys are gonna have to show me. The atmosphere in Atlanta is just different. Yeah, it is. Especially when you, you know, doing something. Mm-hmm. So just tell people all the time. It's almost like we have a job, man. Yeah. So when you went to journalism school, so I'm taking you a communications major in college. Journalism major. Oh, journalism major, okay. So how did you go from journalism and going that path to going to revolt and doing a show that's more, you know, entertainment-based? Yeah, I'm an entertainer. To meet you, the entertainer has a nice ring to it right now. You know, I'm- You like that trick. Yeah, I know. To meet you, the entertainer, you're such a complete- There you go. Yeah. I love him, though. But I just feel like it was the right next move for me. I don't want to be typecast as just the news lady. Like, that's, I'm more than that. And that's never what I just wanted to do, but I looked at some of the people who have the confidence. You know what I'm saying? There's so much more that I have to offer. And I think this is an exciting opportunity because they encourage you to have your most truest voice at revolt. I feel like it's in the name of the network, black-owned network. It's really amazing to be there. And I just feel like there's so many opportunities here in Atlanta. And I'm just really excited to be here, you know. And people have been so gracious and kind and, you know, I've just been eating a lot, so. That's what you mean, though? Yeah, I mean, no, I've just been enjoying it, though. I mean, I feel like you never know when you move like what you're going to find. Yeah. That's good. Like when you go to Kansas City, Missouri, you might find you a nice girl or something like that. I hope I find a couple of them. I hope I find a couple of nice kids and some girls. There's some nice girls there? Yeah. What'd you mean by nice? Nice, just good, upstanding, wholesome. Wholesome women. Yes, some good wholesome women coming out of Kansas City. Yeah. They got a little raw rage. Stuff, just a little spice, like some spice, you know what I mean, like, but me, I'm the oldest of four, right? I've got three brothers, I grew up, yeah. Like kind of, all we did was play dozens. I don't know what y'all call it out here, but all we did was roast people for a living. That's like all we did. Yeah, roast, zone, all that, yeah. I know. Big time as video and a while ago. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, that's what I'm talking about on the show, like, yeah. You ready? Now, being a, you know, I went to school for, you know, I was a communications major, but I thought I was going to be a newscaster when I graduated, that's what I thought I was going to do. But you should have been. You have the perfect voice, it's never too late. It's never too late. But the thing about it, the thing about it is, oh yeah, I used to be, I used to be the sports anchor. Do that shit. Welcome back to Ram News. I'm Anthony Bean, here with your update about the Winston-Salem State versus Livingstone game. Unfortunately, we took the L, but we still put up a good fight. That's what, that's what I used to do. There's a difference in being on camera in that capacity versus what I'm sure you're doing at Revolt. How did you make that adjustment? For me, I've always thought to be my most authentic self, right, and in the news world, you have to kind of earn your place, right? And I did that though, because when you come in and you really take what you do seriously and you're great at your job, and I say that, I'm like, I was getting to people, you know, to work on time all the time. Do you feel like, no, I'm kidding, but also, but no, that's the truth, I'm serious about that. And also, being in a bigger family. You can't be late doing the traffic. Oh, shit, y'all, hey, this shit been going for a minute. I was thinking people tied. On the 19th, I will be in Columbus, Georgia, at the bill, right, ladies and gentlemen? It's going down at the Bill Hurd in Columbus, Georgia. February 19th, that's 2000 and 23, brother. Make sure you get those tickets and make sure you come to the show. I'm coming for the bill. Getting to work on time to get that bag. You feel me, like, don't take this road, take that, what here's the ultimate. You're pulling the bag. I take everything that I do very seriously and so with that, I earned that and it just was, I put myself out there. I feel like there's some things that I said that people in the news industry would never say in fear of losing their job, but for me, I felt that I had earned the value to say that and to be like, okay, you know, what's your next move then, right? And to give a voice to the voiceless. I mean, there's some serious things that happened in Dallas, Texas. A lot of black people who've been killed unjustly and for me, I've always spoke in defense of our people, right? And trying to find justice. And so, you know, some people feel uncomfortable talking about that on the news, but for me, I earned that voice so I used my platform in that way and I'm like, I have the value here, like I'm really great at what I do, so I'm gonna take this risk and see what happens. That's the kind of advocacy that I respect. When you put everything on the line to fight for what's right. That's another thing I could tell you at the journalism school, because you talk with your hands. Well, that's my Nigerian side, too. When I heard y'all talking about my guy, I was like, what is it, Burnaboy? Yes! Yeah! Yeah! That's my favorite part of any song right now. Side! Everybody go chop breakfast. You know what chop breakfast means? Chop chop is like eat. It's like, let's go chop. Oh! Let's go chop, yeah. I thought he said everybody go to breakfast. No, let's go chop breakfast. I was in there two and five in the morning like, I gotta go to my mom. I gotta go. But what does sayo mean? Is that just an ad? He's from a different tribe. And so first, I thought he was saying, I forget, was it, somebody told me What you know, what you know? You know Igbo? It's like Igbo. Yeah, Kedu. Okay. That's what it means. I don't know. I didn't do that. I didn't do that. You know, Kedu, I love it. I've just been the same back to you. What do you mean? Kedu, how are you doing? Okay. That's what's up. And the response when you say Kedu, because we're teaching you a little bit of Igbo here. Like I'm not the Igbo expert, but I know some things that my dad taught me. You respond, oh demma. Oh demma. Just fine. So your dad's Nigerian? My dad is Nigerian, yes. Have any of you guys been to Nigeria before? No, I haven't had the pleasure. I want to go. Now there's some beautiful women in Nigeria. Now you can, yeah. I want to learn how to get them credit cards for it. They keep it up a notch. I don't want to do it. I just want to see how you do it. They keep it up a notch. Bro, just give me the game. Just so I can know what to look for. Bro. When it's about to happen and be like, all right, when the number turn to what, all right, dad appreciates you, bro. I told you the first people scammed like that in Atlanta was Nigerians. I seen Nigerian dude, he paid for his gas with a hotel key. How did he got credit cards? He said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this right now. Hey, I said, oh, he's scammed, scammed, man. He's scammed, scammed, man. Are you the Nigerian princess, too? Me, bro. Oh, for you to say, my uncle and dad have left me $55 million. All I need to do is respond back. He be junked out. If he can send it to your account, he gon' let you keep. No. What? You should go check it out. You should go check it out. You have to visit sometime. You been when you go? I just wanna go to Africa. I wanna hit a few countries, man. I wanna hit a few countries. I've been to Nigeria on the list. Really? I've been to Africa. I've been to Egypt. I've been to Northern Africa. I haven't been to, you know, I wanna go to Nigeria. I wanna go to Central Africa. We have a big following in South Africa. Oh, wow. They rockin' in down there? They rockin' in Zingana? They rockin' in Nigeria? They rockin' in Tanzania? I mean, just to South Africa, specifically though, like I've seen, I've got videos of people in South Africa, like in parties and groups of people when they got us playin' like on the TVs and shit in the party. I would've cried if somebody sent me some shit. Like, what's gon' be crazy? You gon' remember that video? They put, they tagged on. I gotta find it. Yeah, yeah. You cryin' at the time. You just don't remember. That's the type of shit that's beautiful, man. That's beautiful. They be all up on the mound with they 80-foot. I be late. Oh, they took you overseas? That's crazy, too. And just see him in the airport. Seeing somebody in the airport with the stuff all be like, aw. Somebody sent me some shit from Russia though. What? Yeah, they was watchin' the shit over there. Right? You wasn't supposed to accept that. Don't say that on here. Well, yeah. He said it was rush delivery. It was rush delivery. The UBS man was rushin' Let them putin' let the shit ride, nigga. We good. Yeah, you right. He's the black. They gotta give this back to Brinny Griner first, though. Come on, man. He's still over there. They gotta give this back to our girl. Yeah, she's still over there. Yes. They gotta get her. Honestly, y'all got on the table right here. That's, you know. Let me see the light, too. And they gotta get her back. And they gotta let the people go over here that's still locked up for weed. If you can get weed and you can trade that shit on the stock market, then what the fuck we talkin' about? Now what I'm sayin', bro, I'm damn up. Shit. I do need to let her go, man, because as soon as she get back, we're gonna smoke so much weed for her. And she gonna smoke it with you. I'm sayin' like he's gonna be a blowback. Oh, yeah. There you go. Now, like, being in the industry, you know that you're in the entertainment industry, is there anybody who you grew up watchin' or that you watch now that motivates you to, you know, who are some of those people for you? Jay-Z, Lil Wayne. Okay. Is it all rappers? Yeah. The most gayest of those? Yeah, I know, I'm sorry. Like, people ask me that all the time, and it's like, who's probably expecting to hear, you know, some famous journalist? I thought you were gonna say Connie Chunk. No. No, I didn't know. That's all the pleasure. She's a real person, that's all the pleasure. She said Connie Chunk from Family Guy, my name. That's crazy. Isn't that the rule? Okay, I might be wrong. No, she a real news, that's Maury's wife. Maury's wife, she was the news lady. Okay. Well, I watched too much Family Guy, sorry. She was the shit. No, okay, no, I know that, but dang, okay, let's see, that just shows you, for me, what inspires me is music. Right. Like, I love music. Like, I sit here, talk about the college dropout, or I talk about the black albums from my most favorite. I was talking about, I have this tweet that's always been popular about J. Cole, and I love J. Cole, but I said, you know, it's Friday, I ain't trying to hear no J. Cole. Okay, and so people just sweeted that like a storm, but I love J. Cole. One of my favorite projects from him ever, you know, Friday night lights, because it's inspiring to me. You see the hustle, the hunger, and the journey, and that's where I'm at. So I love it. I'm the black album. Like, I'm like, yo, I love that college dropout last call. Of course. Oh yeah, a blueprint, yeah. Reasonable doubt, I mean, all of that. I love it, but for me, the black album, I just, there's so many songs on there, like, you know, when I think about Encore, you know, when I come back like Joy, and we're in the four or five, I ain't to play games with you. There's so many inspirational lines there. Polly, maim you. Lord, you the smith of rage. Take one for your team. And I need you to remember what thing. I came, I saw, I conquered it. I wrecked it, I sold it, I conquered it. So if you want this i-core, I need you to scream until you, yeah, you know, so we can quote, hold on, date. Like, but that's the kind of stuff that inspires me. Jay is one of the, the blueprint to me, in my opinion, the blueprint is the, the best rap album ever made. Favorite whole line? He said all time. No, as far as structured albums, not my personal favorite as far as my personal, just in my, you know, this list, but as far as structured albums from one to the bottom, like it's really a blueprint. You get from the first song, if you listen to it from one, all the way down to the last song, it's literally a blueprint, how to make it as a black man in America, no matter what your situation is. Had that number up with the one I said before. You were down looking at one smart black boy. Mama ain't raised no food. Put me anywhere on God's green earth. I tripled my worth. You know what I mean? See, that's what inspires me right there. So for me, it's just, I love it. Like, I just, I just do, man. I could quote whole Kanye all day and I do it in a lot of my interviews. And I'm just like, those lines mean so much to me. Like last call from the dropout, like for me, it gives me chills. You know what I'm saying? You think we can still get that deal of Rockabelle? Like, you know what I mean? Like I just, that's huge. You're part of the culture now. It's so much like, I remember when ESPN that was first, the little thing with Stuart Scott might say some shit from a song or somebody. Then it just became a staple and it's like, yeah, now it's like, it reaches so many people because it's been going for so long and it's just still time to do it. No, it's dope. And I feel like being here in Atlanta, I mean, in the history of music that's here, I mean, it's just amazing. What you know about Atlanta history? I mean, don't, don't be quoting me on, you know, years and stuff or nothing, but we talked about the music and the artists that have come here, the legends, the icons that live here today even. I mean, it's just, it's dope. I always would say that it was a cash money, no limit, bad boy raised me. That's like, that's how I feel. Right? Okay, so with that- Cash money. Excuse it, yeah. That shit was an error. It was. That's what, that's what you know what I mean? It was. Cash money took over. It was. It was. Pram fucking time. It was $992,000. It was, it was, with so much negativity of music, like you could have looked at cash money for the negative shit, but I just looked at the positive shit. I think it's looked bad. I got a platinum helicopter. I'm trying to put platinum eyebrows on these hoes. What? I'm trying to dip a ho. I'm trying to take a brown ho and dip a platinum. I just bought a platinum football field. Exactly. Just that music itself. You gotta talk. Like you listen to that. Like man that- Plus they be gone. Man, I'm pasting. Man, I'm pasting. You fuckin' ass. I be back in a brand new Fleetwood Cadillac. Lices play same money making nigga for show. Chillin' by your boy house. Kissin' on these hoes. Bros won't stars. Big dick's diamond and drones. Seven days a week. Seven brand new cars. Yeah, I've done it. Bought the GSD honey. What's in front of it? The navigator. The navigator. You're not a hater. The full second floor. So you can see the motherfuckin' Big Thomas car show. Now on the left side, you got the brand new beds. And on the right side, you're just shaking ass for years. And in the middle, niggas throwin' 20s and 10s on the top. Niggas drinkin' juices with Jed, juices with Jed, juices with Jed. Los. New cars. Pretty broad. They were a little superstar. Going far. Yeah, you know that's my shit. That's good stuff. With that type of influence, like coming from the news world, I know you're dealing with a lot of tenured people, a lot of old mentality. How do you navigate getting those people to see what you see and see the value and what you think? They don't always, they don't always see that. You know, I mean, for me, I've always listened to the kind of music that I've listened to and I always fight for this new idea of what professionalism looks like in the workplace. There are a lot of people who would say, oh, you're listening to Jay-Z. I remember one time I did this post, it was a bad and bougie. Me goes, I was singing Quavo's part and my boss had called me in at the time in Vegas. She was like, do you want to be a news anchor? I'm like, yeah, but this is a really hard verse right now. Like, I really like this song, you know? It became like that. But for me... You was doing it on the air? Oh, no, no, no. I didn't sing that part on there. I was just singing it in a video and I posted to my Instagram and that she, you know, wasn't too fond of it. There's a time when I was on the news and people were asking me what kind of music I listened to when I worked out. I was like, you know, a little G-Z, Yeezy. And I got pulled aside and said, you know, Demetria, you know, we don't like all that club talk on television. I'm like, what the hell do you mean club talk? Club talk. Club talk, what are you talking about? She's like, well, you know how she was scrambling to find because what she was saying is that you're talking to black for television. That's what they do, not club talk. Yeah, people make fun of my voice and say, I have a traditional news lady voice. This is my voice right here. So it's funny as hell to hear her say that. I'm like, oh wow. But it's like that, right? She probably meant to say plug talk and got a confusion. She really wanted to say, I'm not one of your little friends. Yeah. She said that. Yeah. She didn't know I put it in the words. She meant blood talk. No, she meant blood talk. That'd be the last fucking time you drink Quavo at my station. All right, I don't care. Who your Migos are, okay? Caroline, next time you bring some Quavo to work, you're out of here. I'll say no, you're a Latino. You bring some Quavo to work, you're going to have to take off. That's what you're going to have to do. We're not going to offend your fate either. Oh yeah, but you just fight for it. And I feel like a lot of young people who are entering that workforce, right? Because I mean, there's a certain standard that's been set there, but you have to prove yourself. And I did, all right? Like I said, I take what I do very seriously, everything that I do. And so I'm really that, I was really that good, right? You know what I mean? I was really that good in my job. And people think, oh, it's just traffic. It's like, no, I worked with the state. I worked with the county. Like I was really involved in the community and getting real traffic problems fixed. You know, teaching people. I gotta know this. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Carlos Miller is bringing jokes like you've never seen jokes before February the 17th. I never knew this. What the hell? Okay. Think about it. I did not thought about the traffic cop there, but like who the fuck is calling in the traffic? Like I wonder if the news know about this. Like this, you the news lady, do you got like a network of like tipsters and shit? Well, they're the hell yeah. They're people like that, of course. You got a Batman computer? That too. Yeah, they got the bat line to the traffic news studio, right? So they just call it straight in right there. I'm like, oh, for real? Thank you. But there also is a helicopter as well. Some stations have helicopters that they have the budget for it, but it's a scanner. We have a police scanner. We did sometimes in the, depending on the station I was at, sometimes they'd launch it into the air and we'd have those aerial views. Shit on there. You got the police scanner. We have a police scanner. Like you were the police scanner. Yeah, draw a nigga, draw a chief man. Yeah, I know, it's Andrews too, yeah. But they have a police scanner. Shit, look at these niggas. Look at these niggas. Turn it off. We laughed, we laughed. Turn it off. They have all of that. It's bitch mother fuckers thing. Hey, switch that appointment, switch that appointment. That's crazy. They do, I mean, it's cool. You know, you make it what it is and I feel like I always make the best out of everything that I do. I mean, it was, it was cool, you know? It's cool, I appreciate it. So you're done with the news completely. I don't wanna do news anymore unless it's on a bigger scale. I still appreciate news, but as far as local news, no, I'm never gonna do local news again. You wanna do good morning America. You're saying never? Bigger stuff. Good morning America. Local news, no, I won't ever do local news ever again. I give it. What did she wanna be on? Good day today, NBC. I have whole planes. No, it doesn't even have to be that. I just feel like you just continue to build your audience so that you can have doors available to you. There are a lot of things that I wanna do. This is good morning America type shit. Good morning America. That's what I get. I mean just, you know, whatever comes, you know, my way that that's the right fit. And so I'm grateful for this opportunity here at Revolte right now, but there's a lot of things I wanna do. I wanna do some acting. I wanna do some singing. You're in the right city. Exactly. So you can say, you can blow a little bit. We, we'd heard a few little things. Oh really? I mean, on the gram, I can't, like, I don't know. Oh yeah, they roasted me for one video, but I don't take it off. I'm like, you can't pump me. Like, I don't care. It's gonna be up there. You're gonna ride really? I'm singing on shit. Yeah. And they like it. I put some things. People be hating. Like, what do you mean? Like, hating. When they go, who, who are they? Fuck them. I don't, that's what I'm saying. I'm not worried about it. I'm like, you can't bully me into taking a post down. I'm a grown ass woman. What are we really talking about right now? Like, come on. And I don't really say much. Cause for me, I'm like, it's just, it's too easy. Like, I, yeah. I don't, I don't say, I don't get into the base of people online like that. I'll, if it's in a educational way, if I wanna teach you something or, you know, it's a teaching moment. You can't teach people shit on the camera. That's true, but the thing is is other people are reading and it's like, okay, I see where Demetrius is coming from. You're learning something about me. I'm teaching you about me and my perspective. And I feel like my audience, they wanna know more about Demetrius. Where does Demetrius stand on this issue? So it's like, now you know, right? But they're ignorant ass people who will delete their comments after you say something. I try never to just, I'm not cussing anybody out online. I could, but I don't. That's a good point that you just made. What do you consider to be your, Look at you with your interview skills to be your audience. I'm here to be your audience. I've been nailed it. I love it. What do you consider to be your audience? What makes somebody your audience and your perspective? Man, there are people who've been rocking with me since my first job in Kansas City. I feel like people who are interested in what I'm talking about, invested in what I'm saying, the people who follow me on my social channels, whether you support me, hate me, whatever you're doing on there. You know what I mean? I just feel like I'm putting this out there. I'm giving you content. I'm showing you more about who I am, what I'm about, what I'm trying to do. And that's, that's how I feel. My audience, you know, on Instagram in particular, I mean, you know, big cities. New York is the number one. And I've actually never been in New York. Isn't that crazy? Why not? Cause I didn't have time for a long time. And we never had vacation from news. Wait, wait, never. Huh, what? You've never been in New York? I've never been in New York. But New York people rocked with me to like, you know what I mean? Like my number one following is from New York City on Instagram. You gotta go. I'm gonna go. Now I'm on the East Coast. I could go, but it was hard like, that work schedule, I was working 3 30 in the morning. So like, you know, noon, when you get home, you're a zombie. You're tired. You don't have much vacation. Anybody tell you to pick that schedule? I don't. Well, you know, you could have been late night traffic, man. That's the way it works. Y'all need to slow down. Amen. All right, all right, all right. Whoa. All right, all right, all right, you get it. Y'all are a mess. Y'all are a mess. But no, it's... They should have put the red lights on the traffic. The ones that take a long time to change. Out here, the lights take forever to change. In Vegas, they change. No, that should be making it. I haven't run too many than motherfuckers. I'm not waiting a whole time. They threw a winch in the game with them cameras. I'm from DC, man. That shit is a hustle, man. They made like $20 million off. Camera phone pictures from speeding on the plane. That shit. And then it's like, they'll get you to where, if you stop even, you ain't run the light, but if your wheel is on the white line. Pop, pop. Yeah. Light your shit up, man. You see that shit at your dumb ass Vegas? Oh, I guess it's lightning. No, you know it ain't like that shit. I'm telling you, bro, ain't nothing like that shit ruined whenever you was on your way too fast. You don't even want to go no more. You driving that shit, foo-foo, you like, fuck. Now, to pitch it to be so clear, you can't dispute it. I'm hanging out the window on my shit. I'm like, oh, this is me. This is crazy. I'm thinking that hasn't happened to me yet because I, in Vegas, they do not have those. Yeah, no. Do they have them here in Atlanta? Some places. Some places I've seen them just all the time. I'm always scared. Fuck them cameras, man. I don't believe in that type of shit. I feel like if the motherfuckers didn't catch you in real life, they shouldn't be able to say shit. Right. Ken, you got a dog. No, that ain't the way it is, no more. You should have been. If you ain't catch a motherfucking real life, you shouldn't be able to say shit. I had that same theory about the helicopter. The police be cheating, man. They don't post the youths on helicopters, running dogs, fucking on their shit. I told you the dogs, they not real. They don't exist. Get that out of your head. Ain't no fucking drug dogs. I'm not a drug dog. I'm talking about the dog getting that loose to come find your ass in that trash can. Not in the capacity that they use that shit. I wanted this round. While you, you know what I'm saying? I won this round. Officers, you like, give up again. Like, bro, I catch me the next time. We gonna see each other again. I won this round. You gonna cheat and let the dog loose. Right, man. They be putting that crap in your shit. You talking about the dogs that go get your ass. Those, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, but the drug dogs that you talking about sniff shit or they don't do that shit, they never. I don't know. I feel like those, I've, I've They give up for two hours out of the day. Chases and, and seen it and yeah, you're not getting away. Oh, you that did the high speed chase before? Like I've seen it, the high speed chase. Yes, it appears this person is veering off the roadway in a residential area. Yeah, I've seen it. Crazy. Like four people hop out the car like, yeah, y'all ain't getting away. Helicopter's right there. You're not getting away. Helicopter's gonna get a horrible imaging kick in if you can't get away from that bird, man. That bird of Chico, man. That bird of Chico. Which you don't need to worry about that. You're like a Sunday driver. That helicopter and love playing to worry about it. They be looking right at you. Oh, suspect just shit on himself. Yeah. That's valuable information. They got the thermal imaging on. The heat coming up. The steam coming up in the air. Oh, that's a bad one. All right, shit on himself. The steam. And then they got him. The steam is fresh. Move your hands up the go, leave your hands up the go. Shit, man. Shit, man. Yeah, that's crazy. Like, so what are some of the crazy things? You're running towards that school. We gotta get him before he gets this. Throw it in the playground. Throw it in the playground. He's going to fly. Oh, my God. That's crazy. What are some of the crazy experiences you've had as a news woman? Oh, man, so you know, for me, a lot of my work with the job. Yeah, well, you know, a lot of my work was in the studio. Right, but I think one of the most interesting things, green screen, anchor desk, you know, all of that. But I feel like, for me, there was this, when El Chapo was getting put it to change. Yeah, hold on a minute. Can't believe he's worked out yet, man. He's good at that, man. Man, he man's here. Because one of our journalists at the station in Dallas had done a story about it and had, you know, what is it, profiled some of the victims' families and all of this. And apparently, some people from El Chapo's team had reached out and was like, you know, we don't want you doing these stories or whatever. He got a team of media. Yeah, you know, his entourage. His publicist. His publicist. Yeah, gotta have a publicist. All that goddamn cocaine. You better have somebody to call him for B.R. This is crazy because at the time my boss was like, hey, we need everybody to repost this story. And I'm like, what the hell do I look like reposting something about El Chapo when they didn't told you to take that story off? You know what I mean? Like, these are glass windows at the double A.C. They play with the bulls. The new station was by the Mavericks where they play the American Airlines Center. Right, and I'm like, so you want them to come up in here with this non-bull-approved glass with them A.K.'s and the U.S.'s. And lay me out. I'm like, I'm not doing that. So for me, that was scary because it was such a real threat. And the thing about Dallas, Texas, I mean, close to the border, ain't nothing but a cartel to just come up, nor it's nothing. Come up. They're already there. They're like, how are you here? Like I said, come up. No, it was a scary thing because it was like, you know what's your job? Telling you, hey, repost this, support this. I'm like, hell no, I'm not supporting this. I ain't trying to go out like that. So that, the stalkers of course, which is hella scary, but then, I mean, there's always something, you know? But the stalking, I think that was the craziest thing and it keeps going. I still can't even believe it myself. Well, the question, do you have, are you in a relationship, or is it hard for you to have a boyfriend doing what you do? Yeah. You know that negative, like... Oh, his heart broke. He had to help right now. He ain't been to the TV. Oh, he been to be acting like a woman when you get home. So what are we doing? He's sitting at the house. Hello, darkness, my old friend. All right, we're just kidding. No, I'm single. I'm single, no, no, no. And is it hard to find people? I feel like there are a lot of people that hit me up. People. Yeah, there's a lot of people that hit me up. I mean, it's kind of hard to choose. It's like walking into the ice cream store. Like, damn, it's all these flavors. I don't even know if I want to, no more, I'm gonna go home. Can't choose. It's a good problem to have. Bats been arrived, mom. We're like, it's only two flavors. I'm like, fuck this, I'm gonna pass the ice cream. I'm like... I'm like... How much for one scoop? Can you just put a sprinkle in my hand? No, there's, there's... Then it's the mother getting there, just keep getting them little spools. Yeah, let me try to strip it. Let me try to strip it. I'm lying right there. Hey, let me try to chop it in the ear. You say that one got nuts in it? What kind of nuts that one got in it? So you say it's green one, bro. Stand your own. You're tan, man. Oh my God, y'all are killing me. Try that orange one again. At least they're coming to call it a fuck, right? Y'all better try to figure out what I want. Y'all got baseball mitts. Y'all got baseball mitts. That's the problem I have, though. So you say... I don't know, I feel like it's difficult. I mean, it's not me. It is, because there's a lot of people who hit me up on the daily, and it's very hard to like... I don't... What am I supposed to do? Who are you? Like, I don't know how these people, most people are crazy. I think that goes... That's more your responsibility. You have to know what you don't want, and then what you want will come to you easy. There are some people who hit me up, and I'm like, I just don't... I don't know, I don't want my name attached to people. There's people who may be more popular and stuff like this, and it's like, for me, you're not about to be out there like, oh yeah, I smashed traffic bay and all that. Like, I'm not... You know, I don't like that. Like, for me, I feel like it's hard being a woman because guys are the ones that always stand to benefit. Like, oh yeah, I had her. I had her. Me, it's like... No, no. No, no. Women are... Women are natural. I feel like guys have it easier that way. No, no, no, no. Yeah, because I'm like, I'm not gonna have you. When you look at my name, you're not gonna see some other guy attached. Everything that I did is self-made and everything, but there's also, you're not gonna have people running my name through the dirt, looking like, oh yeah, he was with her, she was with it. Like, it's kind of messy, and I don't like messy things, and a lot of people don't understand that. There's some people that I'm like, yeah, we can go out, but it's gotta be really private because I really don't wanna be seen with you like that. But I mean that's... And people take that personally. But do you tell the reason you don't wanna be seen with her? Yeah, but I feel like people... Tell them they hug me. Say, I don't wanna go out like that. Oh, man. I wanna go out, like we get some shit from somewhere, and we go back in. Oh, no. You don't get out the car. At the same time, you get out of the car. You gonna go in and pick up the food. Matter of fact, get in the back, and I'm gonna act like I drove to Uber. So I've been separate. But meet me around... Yeah, let me make it a discussion. Then you'll be walking around the corner. Hello, darkness. Mother, are you being specific to men who you will have to encounter in your work? I just feel like there's some deal. Because any man that you've been with can do that. This is true, and that's why it's so... It's kinda rough because it's like, I like to... If I'm gonna date somebody, I like them to have something to lose, like I have to lose in the public realm. There are some people who, you know what I mean? It's just like, you know, so it's kinda like I'm gonna even kill there, but anybody can do you scandalous. Like you said, it really doesn't matter. But for me, there's some people who have reputations attached to their name, and it's like, oh, they've been wanting to take me out. And I'm like, I don't know about all that because, you know, I'm not trying to just look like, you know. I mean, well, if you say you don't like the... And this is just from what you just said. If you say you don't like the fact that somebody can drag your name through the mud, why would you allow somebody else's name to be dragged through the mud before you find out? No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Cause I've never done that to anybody. You can't control that really though. I've never done that. I know it's just, for me, it's just kind of a... I feel like some people don't have an appreciation for it. Okay? I have a lot to lose all the time, right? And it's not as easy being a woman, I feel like. I feel like, like I said, it's usually the men who benefit from being able to say, like, oh, I had her. Women aren't really the ones to be like, oh, I had him. Had him, you're gonna be called a slut. You're gonna be called all these kinds of things. And I just feel like for me, I like to limit that a little bit and be very selective of people who are really gonna appreciate me and not use me as an accessory to say, oh, look who I've been with. I'm just gonna have her around like this because there's some people who review you that way. So I have to find somebody who really values me, everything that I bring to the table and appreciates me as a person because that's what I give to somebody. And it's not always easy to find somebody like that. Especially when you're working all the damn time. Somebody that you actually connect with versus somebody that's seeing you as a good look. There's some people who do that. And it's hurtful. It's just like, damn, it's like, and I'm very cautious of that because some people wouldn't care if they grabbed you, took you somewhere, flaunted you all around, da-da-da-da-da, and it's just like they're just using you as a pawn. It's never happened to me in particular, but it's just something that I'm concerned about because I don't want you to just, you know, I don't like that. I'm not, you know, don't, you know, and people do that. In defense of that type of shit at, you know, it's difficult. In defense of? In defense of. In defense of. No, literally, in defense, because I hear a lot of women say that, but the thing about it is I think it's because of the standard that's been set. As a man, we have to bring something tangible in order to get your attention. We have to be in a position to do certain things with you from the moment you meet us. And the reason why I think a lot of men are like, I had her is because all of the things that he had to do to get you is the reason why he feels like he's had an accomplishment in that because I had to pay for something. I had to go somewhere. But that's never been the case with me, though. I can't speak for everybody. That might be true for a lot of people, but for me, I've never been the kind of woman that goes out and uses a man for anything. There are plenty of nice things that I could have right now if I decided to mess with somebody and not, you know, but not really mean it, right? There are people that I could have taken advantage of in that way, but I've never done that. I would have rolled up in here with some crazy, crazy things if that was the case, like, you know what I'm saying? I wouldn't, you know, I'd be off at some disclosed location, you know what I'm saying? Like it's not like that for me. Okay, I've had those opportunities, but I don't take advantage of anybody. But those things have been offered to you. Oh my God, condos, cars, money, people I've never met before. But you know what goes with it. You know what the answer back to them is. But it's even more than that because there's some people. Some of the folks out here buying condos. That's what I'm saying. Those are the things that I'm saying. But hold on though, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But I got right to that. You don't know what. Yeah, no, there are some. It may not be what it seems. But there's some people who genuinely have wanted to be in a relationship with me and wanted that. And I'm like, but I don't view you that way. And so I couldn't take these things from you because it's not genuine. I would never do that. I don't want the trouble of that. And I wouldn't want somebody doing that to me. And that's, that makes me sad. How you turned down a condo? I don't feel, I wasn't feeling, it was, I was like 21 years old, this guy was 29. And he was trying to lock me down. And I was like, hello, you wanted to buy me out of me? Yeah, what was he going to expect with that condo? He wanted to be with me. He wanted to lock it down. He's like, oh, she's the one. Like I want him like bro, chill out, bro. He bought you an Audi? No, he wanted to. Oh, you turned down an Audi and a condo? I turned down a lot of things. You wanted to get infinity. Broke up. I wanted the Rambo who did an Audi. You ever been turned down? Do you go through that? Like, do you get rejected? Do you deal with rejection at this point? I don't really reach out to a lot of people like that. I wish I was living like that. I ain't turning down no fucking condo. You going to do with that lady, right there? So you going to do with that lady and say, full of it? For how long? For how long? How long do you think you got to earn your condo? Until she say, fuck you wearing that Audi, nigga. Hey, you got the Audi, you know what I mean? So how long, how long you, how long? I'm going to agree for a little bit. For a little bit? For how long? For a condo. Yes. This is a good condo, right? It's a nice condo. At least until I find out like how much, like if it's my shit. Like if they just like paying for it and I'm living. When you see your name on the paper? Yeah. Like with my name on some paper. And it's paid off because you don't want them to leave you. Yeah, I'm sure of mine. Don't let me find out the house and like, if I find out I can't lose this shit. Nah, I can't. You talking about, I think you getting a condo is one of the motherfuckers. Being that motherfuckers. I'm bringing the Audi out. Return out the Mac. Return out the Mac. Mad at you. As soon as everything transferred to my shit, I'm straight. You shouldn't use people. I think that opens a terrible can of mocks. We don't even get the chance to use motherfuckers. Yeah, and with you, you ain't met nobody with no abundance. Accomplishments. You can't find a man in this fucking building that met a woman with some abundance like that. Fellas, you ever experienced a woman with abundance? You had to turn down your fucking dream. Hey, hey, hey, the car that you've always wanted, hold on, hold on, this is too much for me. You're telling me too fast. You got to amend it. Gracious abundance. Gracious abundance. Because the abundance would be there, but she make it clear. Yeah, it ain't for you. Yeah, it ain't. You ain't never met a man, ain't no woman like that lady off the line between love and hate. Because you deal with the crazy. If they just look at it, I mean, my uncle was like that. Nah, she wasn't crazy. He was getting like my heart, my uncle, my uncle. My uncle said that shit, but God rest my soul. He was like, man, this nigga Martin trippin' on this motherfucker. Yeah, nigga trippin'. He fumbled the bag. That's what they say. He fumbled the bag. He fumbled the fucking bag. He wasn't working. He was a promoter. You're a party promoter. He was a promoter. She had taught you how to ride horses. Boy, that man went and bought La-Leek crystals. Right. Got the suits that was telling to him and all that. That nigga was still traveling. Man, he fumbled the bag. You don't play with people. That's the world of that story. Don't play with people. I wouldn't even knew an old girl was back in town the way I would have been. Big chilling in Malibu. What? Man. Big ass crib. Oh, yeah. You in the chicken king? You in the chicken king. Go fuck with Miguel New Year's. Man. All I know is Rose. That's it. That's it. Silk Rose. Come on, man. How do you not become corrupted by power? Because you're around a lot of it. You just said, you just said you turned down condos and houses. That got to be a hell of a month. You round some hell of a niggas that's just like, hey, man, you want somewhere to live? That ain't some shit that's just awful. Yeah, I was over your crib. I ain't like it. I bought you another one. That's something else, bro. Hey, yeah. Move to your house. Man. That's my home. You went for a niggas built for niggas seven feet. So, I bought you something this morning. Exactly. And you live here. Yeah. And leave that car there, too. It's out of you. Yeah, we got you. Don't take your shoes. It's your favorite color. I got your name stitched in the seats. It's like, how do you, how, as a woman, or, you know, especially as a professional woman, are you not, you know, affected by those things? I have a very strong sense of self, and I'm a go-getter and a hustler. You can't buy me. I'm very big on that. You can buy me. Buy me some shoes. Fuck working. I feel like you're sitting in the wrong messes. Fuck working. I'm holding a hug. I feel like you have to work, too, with that, though. Hard work don't pay off. You know? You can't buy me. You can't buy me. That's a drill. That's a scam. You can't keep it real with you. She can't keep it real with you. Hard work don't pay off. It works for some people. It works for some people. But for me, it's like, you know, I don't know. It'll pay off. I didn't like those people. The motherfuckers who benefit from hard work don't never have to do it. Okay. But what if it's all I like to them? That'd be different. So basically, you're saying that if a man that you were attracted to and liked with all of these things, you would be like, man, come on with it. Yeah, because it's genuine. I'm attracted to you. I'm interested in you. If there's a time of day that things are going to be genuine, right? I have been approached by a lot of people that have means and I turned them down. It could have drastically changed my life. It's a dude somewhere eating two peas from a pub right now, like, you're lying. It's just the truth. But for me, it's like, I do believe in love and I believe in that and I'm a very genuine person, and I don't lie about things. You ever had a bum ass boyfriend? A bum ass boyfriend? Yes. I have. boyfriend and I was I was such a devoted girlfriend you know he said he was going through tough times I would send him groceries to school I would send him a pizza because we went to different colleges and you know don't count don't show up wait hold on let me get a little friend okay well we can we can just forgotten the whole time friend okay well I want to hear what he did though my last but if you get funny I thought y'all might like it right so he told me he didn't have any money or whatever like this but he was really spending all his money on weed and I was buying the dates and I was buying like I said that time frame don't worry about it my adult life yeah okay so that situation my most recent boyfriend how that ended I don't think that he was ready for something serious I was very devoted very caring cuz for me I'm a huge romantic and I go all out like I'm bad like I will you know bounce to check or two because I'm like I just wanted you to have this I you know I know you like it it was some designer stuff that I didn't even have for myself but I'm like that's what you like and I just wanted to do it you know it's endless right so it's like I'm jaded it just wasn't the best situation my heart like to make real limited time only person but I feel like some people get jaded and now because somebody did them wrong now they're too afraid to love again and that's that's never been me but I know what I'm looking for and I want so it's like I'm very selective and so you ask me why I'm single and that's why it's not for a shortage of options because they're many suitors yeah but it's like do I really like you I'm not gonna waste your time to what going to vacation with you and use you for your your means I'm not gonna do that I won't enjoy it I don't like that I don't want to do that how do you establish like though like I mean if somebody you know with all that what you do with what you say you do are you looking for what you looking for the night a nigga like me you established that though like what's your do you have a vetting process or do you just go you consume of work and that's what you and that's cool to be that you know I'm a woman I have a real real clock in all of these things so yes I mean I definitely yeah we all have our biological clocks and so I take that into consideration and stuff but I'm selective and I'm not going to settle for something just because I'm like oh I want to go settle for some settle down trust me I'm gonna have a mole on his back or something no it's gonna be some shit that you do not like nobody's perfect I'm not perfect either I told you I have road rage so you know there's little things like that but it's gotta be deep I believe in love I believe in love I believe in those kinds of things and so for me I know what I bring to the table I'm a very compassionate empathetic person I'm a great listener and I bring all these things sound very free money I just told you about this man designer things and I went damn near broke doing it that can be satisfied with nothing that could be anything that could be that look you change about $50,000 a year in Las Vegas I don't know how much that comes out to every two weeks it wasn't much but I bought this man some Versace that he wanted and because that's the kind of stuff like and I saw you have all he wanted some Versace damn damn you never know buddy somebody out there watching like oh I'll have to you spent a you spent a whole chick on on some designers yeah I just I knew I was gonna get the money back I mean I had a real job and everything but it just was like something to see somebody smile and for me I just was like you know I wanted to do this and I'm very proactive about that if I see like there are little gaps in your life to make your life easier like I feel those and I'm very active in that three Summit City Comedy Club in Fort Wayne Indiana this shit far the fucking way but I'm still doing February 24th through the 26th I bid the improv in Daniel Florida where the fuck is that I don't know but I'd be there March 4th Variety Playhouse in Atlanta Georgia oh shit I got some Atlanta shows nigga we had a squad

skydweller baby this bitch nice I love that one yellow vest well I do my I'm just glad unless you go get it but black girl stuff like tell us about the show specifically you didn't city yourself a black girl I'm black I'm just I'm asking I'm doing my interview I'm a black woman yeah but yeah black girl too yeah uh-huh I saw your little clip you was discussing your blackness yeah we were talking about colorism on the show hello and yeah there were some comments about the show and they felt like there wasn't a dip enough of different hues of darker-skinned people on the show that's what they said there were some people who weren't happy about that and we we talked about it and there are people who said that you know you're not black enough and that's something that I've always heard my entire life is it a lot of people I don't know my page like so it wasn't really that kind of a thing so I don't I don't really know but they they wanted to talk about it and it is it is a relevant issue and we're talking about the media who's historically cherry-picked lighter complexion people to represent black people on the whole and not only on TV but I think black people look too serious really like you know black people faces we look too serious when we deliver in news and shit it might cause a hysteria like a mass hysteria you know shit just hit different when the black person said the water system is poison coming up at six nigga be like bruh fucked up bruh yeah rush the shit at 530 and everybody like man what the fuck about that it might oh my god so we need a black news network no we needed to be well Diddy's is actually black owned a lot of black stations and channels aren't necessarily black owned and we do have a vote black news and it's a great product you should check it out and if you don't have you know regular TV you can download it on the app to promote your shit when they came out there was called the revolution right we did and what about delio no you try that no that was a rock that we didn't back office when we go up there we have some with him next time all right we got to go back well do you think that shut up the puff what's the I don't get it because I asked him personally remember he said yeah can't call him that that's for sure that's for sure do you do you is this the first company you've worked for that's been black owned is a difference radio station in Kansas City when I was in college can you be on the news and the radio at the same time I interned before I was before I was on the news right but you some they might you know especially if they're owned by the same company yeah I'm sure sometimes you're here a little weather person or the traffic person I remember yeah it depends on you like they're in the helicopter so coming from that world that you come from what's the benefit of working for something that's black on our company that's black only I just think it's historic and I think we talk about black ownership and then we talk about how that trickles down through our leadership the creator of the show Monique Chinalt of the creator of black girl stuff she's black our executive producers are black our producers are black and so you have to remind me so much of this show the creator this show is black our executive producers black directors is black black but he blacks he blacked a little bit he blacked a little bit he bobbled you chicken he said earlier yeah no I think that's that's amazing to be able to see these kinds of perspectives that have been muffled and hidden for so long and so now
