Oh gosh, like it was so weird, night and day.
Speaker 2:He was so sweet and it was like it was really, really off putting, honestly.
Speaker 3:To me. I didn't. I see, I have been in spaces where I know exactly what he was doing and I that's why I was not I was even more uncomfortable because what he was doing was he was trying to disarm everybody. Like he was trying to come in there. Like disarm everybody, yeah, like he was trying to come in there, like oh hey, hey guys, you know, I'm just a regular guy, I'm just ben. Meanwhile, it's like you have the most vicious, vile things that you're doing behind the scenes and then trying to create this soft, like I'm a professional person. Let me button.
Speaker 1:No, it was clearly not genuine, but I would say I definitely preferred it more to, because charlie kirk was just really rude off camera and the thing that was weird about that video is it was all college kids. So I think, like me and my friend Mason were like, maybe the two of the oldest I'm 22. You know like there were 18 year olds there. And he was so mean to us. So like you know, as much as I believe that Ben shapiro is playing a game, it's part of a tactic.
Speaker 1:It's not genuine yeah I do appreciate the fact that he was able to be nice, because I would much prefer to see people modeling, because in politics it's ugly. We hate each other like it's fine yeah but I would rather see people hate each other with dignity than hate each other with like a really immature animosity, especially in settings like that.
Speaker 4:You know what's his name, charlie Kirk, came across as very much like condescending.
Speaker 3:He was an asshole on set. Well, I mean the way that they write with the hero situation debate the hero. I'm sure that inflates the ego when they're walking on set. I don't think his ego needed much inflating I know, but like it's already, like now pumped up on high juice too, with henry that big and yes and his teeth
Speaker 4:yes we're so girl it's always the people who are. And here I want to say this too, I'm sorry. I want to say this because my whole thing about donald trump because like we're gonna go there, but like we're going everywhere my whole thing is like, if you are an attractive person, typically in like not even america in the world, you tend to get away with shit, because that's just how we treat pretty people I don't know how these ugly niggas are getting away with that's my point, sister.
Speaker 1:Thank you get it.
Speaker 4:I am like screaming. How are you able to you? Freaks of nature, how are you able to get away with this?
Speaker 1:You're dumb, your voice is annoying, you're ugly, you're irritating.
Speaker 4:Misshaping. You have bad wigs and bad makeup.
Speaker 1:BMW body made wrong. I can't. Why are we not bullying them? What is happening? That part what is happening?
Speaker 3:Listen, if we are going to get bullied to that point and this is one thing that does kind of piss me off a little bit about the democratic party they're not playing by the rules anymore. There's so many people that had sent me messages of like, oh, you should have done it this way. First of all, I already knew Ben was not going to be anywhere near having a debate and, second of all, the way that the room was sat by the time that I got up there, there was already so much going on in the room that I was like you know what? Fuck it? Flip the table, because this is bullshit. What's even happening? And then, third of all, looking at the situation as a whole, like you have to bully them at this point, like there's nothing you can do.
Speaker 1:Like we always want to. They go low, we go high.
Speaker 2:No no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no, no, I'm a very confrontational person.
Speaker 4:I like to fight, especially where I'm from Chicago. It's just like you know, it's rooted in me, right? And it was funny watching him. I was watching everyone around. I was like let me just see how this goes before I jump into the ring, because I like to fight, but I want to know who my opponent is.
Speaker 4:So I was like watching and at the end there was an opportunity for anybody who didn't remember his name, but he wanted to bring up generation six topics. I wanted to talk about my people. So I was like you know what? I can get up there and read ben, or like have a viral moment, or I could like let someone go up there who was like have actually well-informed opinions about whatever their subject is. Yeah. So I was like you go ahead and do your thing, I can read him whatever. I can read him by myself, you know, yeah, so I, I I just didn't want to like give him that. You know what I mean. I don't want to give Ben any of that. I was like these kids got it, cause I'm older than all y'all, so I'm like they got it.
Speaker 1:I do like that this video, the second video, was not just.
Speaker 5:Oh, Shane.
Speaker 1:No my hero.
Speaker 3:The clips Someone drew me, I was like the clips someone drew me.
Speaker 1:I was like what is happening? Oh my god, no, no, I love the drawing. Okay, when the artist got to the charlie kirk video, have you seen those with the teeth?
Speaker 4:and then it paused, oh my god, I okay for a.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna lie, I'm such a narcissist. I watch all the edits. Oh, I watch all the edits of me make sure I make more edits. She watches all of them, if you if you make an edit of me, I will watch the edit. I will watch the edit. I'll probably repost it. I love edits of me.
Speaker 1:Cut to the same yeah it's funny, I can't, it's so beautiful. I'm like yay. But these artists started drawing me and Charlie in the debate and I'm not going to lie, I made them my lock screen. I had a little lock screen collage of me as a tribe.
Speaker 5:So you know what I'm going to say, you know where I'm about to go with this Do, I, do, I yes. Yes, okay, you know. Oh, my God, blossom. No, I have to say this, and this is a very opinionated show, by the way. So everything we say here is our opinion. That's fair. You remind me of this conservative Gen Z-er who I demolished in a debate named Amala Ekbunambi Honey. The comments are about to light up right now.
Speaker 5:Oh my God, amala Ekbunambi was someone that I destroyed in a debate, in my humble opinion. She's going to watch it and she'll be like oh, got to watch it.
Speaker 1:They'll just be like, oh, gotta make an edit, all right, have you ever been compared to amla ikbunambi? So I didn't know who this bitch was until she made a video about me. Damn, she's obsessed with me, no, and she compared us in the video and, honestly, I was so freaking pissed, amala, you could never, no, you could never.
Speaker 1:Oh, don't compare yourself to me. We're not sisters, we're not friends. I don't fuck with you. You are an Aunt Jemima ass bitch. You are Fuck you, bro. And if you want to keep talking about me, you should come and talk to me. I would love to debate with you. I think that would be such a cute kiki, okay, pookie. But I'm so done with her. I hate that girl.
Speaker 4:She's a grifter.
Speaker 1:First of all. She used to be a Democrat. She switched over for the money. I know people call me broke. That's the broke-ish that I am.
Speaker 3:Isn't this the one where you made Buck Angel cry?
Speaker 5:Yeah, but Buck Angel had no tears. I kid you not, buck Angel had no tears. So here's my side of the story With this particular episode. Originally, amala had asked me if I would debate other trans women on there conservative trans women. I was like sure, we just did the episode. So literally maybe like a day before she switched it up and brought Buck Angel on there, so I wasn't fully aware that he was on there.
Speaker 3:Which is a completely different debate, which is a completely different thing. And the.
Speaker 5:Thing is who is Buck Angel?
Speaker 3:Conservative trans man Porn Ex-porn star. He's a fool.
Speaker 5:He's a damn fool.
Speaker 1:That's a crazy Conservative trans man, ex-porn star.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was a character that he was like the only trans man that was in adult entertainment. So he's not the one with the letters, is he?
Speaker 5:no, he's just a me, he just has a voice no, okay, yeah, okay, but in this particular um debate, or whatever.
Speaker 5:Buck angel acted like he was crying, which he was not. There was no tears in his eyes. I felt really gaslit and really ganged upon because I had destroyed her in the first debate, which is the reason why, in my opinion, she's slick asked me to come over to her side. So I understand 100 what you're saying or whatever like that. In my opinion, I think she's a snake and I think that she cannot uphold her own, so I would watch firsthand in front row. You destroy her in a debate, but the thing is.
Speaker 1:She's a grifter and her fits are whack. You're basic as fuck.
Speaker 5:Yeah, she is. I'll be honest with you, she quite is, because you know she's going back and forth whether she's you know. She's going back and forth saying, oh, um, in our episode I think she was saying something about, oh, I'm biracial, and then in that particular episode, I'm a black woman. It's like, well, make up your mind, because you criticize and you look down upon other people who've expressed who they are in their identity. So, sis, make up your. But it was so funny because I told Shane when you were coming. She reminds me so much of her, but I think she's a beautiful spirit, a beautiful soul. I loved your energy in that video. I thought that you were fantastic. I thought all of y'all were fantastic. I love the way you were running in that video. You were running to that chair and I just want to know what was going on in your mind when you were doing that. What was going on?
Speaker 2:To be honest, when I got to the chair I sat with Ben Shapiro and then I'm talking to him and I'm like, yeah, I already know about all this DEI stuff. You guys say we're culturally lazy, You're not from our. I told them you're not from the culture. If you're not from that culture, you cannot say that culture is lazy. You don't know what we've been taught In the black community? Yeah, we've been taught. We had to work 10 times as harder as the next person beside us. That's just how we are ran. We're not visible to a lot of people because of our color. Our color hits the door. Before we do our names at the door, before we do so, we have to be 10 times as excelled and accomplished as the next person. So when they raised their flags, I was all like dang, like you guys ain't gonna finish my point. And even with uh, when everybody was like oh, when ben said, oh, I'm from burbank I laughed I audibly laughed.
Speaker 3:I said I knew he was from, because rich kids have lived in burbank, because I've grown up here and I know burbank was like oh, you got money. Like you don't have a lot of money. It's not beverly hills, but it's like you got a little bit of money you have no street cred you have as much you have no street cred, that's not they said burbank.
Speaker 2:I was all like dude.
Speaker 4:You're literally in an affluent neighborhood warner brothers, they pull your address right now you're first in line, you're not even straight out of burbank like shut the fuck up.
Speaker 5:Yeah. When I saw that part I was like, is he a war bond? Like what is going on? Yeah, like Is he a war bond.
