[00:01:12] Justin. This month, we're pouring into the wild story of a man allegedly faking his way into the NFL, scamming women out of more than millions of dollars, plus a possible Super El Nino that has us wondering, what is Mother Nature trying to tell us? Then we celebrate Beyonce's 20th B-Day anniversary.

[00:01:37] We also are getting into the tennis world with Naomi Osaka and her tribute to Allen Iverson. We're also talking Kim Zosiac and Corey Beerman's son, this and so much more. Let's get into this

[00:01:50] month's casual tea. It's a casual tea. What is going on? And welcome back to the Purple Pants Podcast.

[00:02:13] Casual tea for the month of September. I'm super excited to be here with my childhood friend, Mr. Justin Carter. You might know him as an investigative journalism, journalism, journalist that you know you see all over the internet. But Justin, welcome back to the podcast. How are you? Hey Bryce, how are you? How's the people out there? I hope you're well. What's going on with you? You

[00:02:41] good? It's summertime. Summertime's closing. It's closing, but it hasn't closed yet. I know. We still got a couple more weeks. The topics are hot. Things are happening. Yeah. Make sure your phone location is on so we can keep track of you because Justin shared with me some stuff that we won't put on the camera, but you know. We can. No, I'm just kidding. No.

[00:03:09] No. No. Yeah. My location will be on this weekend because I'm doing something crazy, y'all. In New York City. And it's with somebody that I've never met before. And so my parents will have my location and all my friends will have my location. Noah Bryce, I'm gonna put you on my location. Yeah, please. Just so you know, because I might be the last person that I talk to. You might be the

[00:03:35] documentary. Now, someone asks, and mind you, it's 2026, so we live for this. You know, you're only young once. And so, you know, a natural question I went to ask Justin was... What? FaceTime? Oh, yes. Okay. All right. Let me give y'all just the quick tea. The quick tea is there's somebody I met on Instagram, and we're just gonna pop on over to New York City

[00:04:02] just to meet. It's been a few months, and I have never FaceTimed him. So Bryce was like, what you mean? And I'm like, it's my fault. I've never FaceTimed him because I don't like... I'm not a big FaceTimer. I'll just like to call. I'm sorry. I'll just like to text. So anyway, Bryce thought it was a good idea. When he lands, he lands in about an hour or so in New York City.

[00:04:31] So we gotta wrap this casual tea up because Justin got some real tea. Oh my God. So anyway, no, this is honestly, we're just very friendly. He just wants to meet me and he's paying for most of it. And I'm just there to have a good time. Okay. Well, listen, we'll report back next month for the casual tea. But speaking of

[00:04:57] meeting someone on the internet, because the internet is a wild, wild west. Anyone can be who they say they are. Justin has a story for us that we need to dive into expeditiously. Expeditiously. It was a part of my investigation on the internet this week, y'all. Have y'all heard about Dajon Love? Dajon Love. I don't even know, Bryce, if this is his real name. But anyway,

[00:05:24] he's been going by Dajon Love. The FBI about two weeks ago, in the middle of the week, sent out this press release. And it said that there's a man that's been going around claiming that he's a 49er, San Francisco 49er, a part of the NFL, meeting women on dating apps, Hinge, Bumble, Facebook dating.

[00:05:47] What's the other one? Grindr. Oh, now you tried it. Not grinder. No, but you know, those, the hinges of the world, the tenders. Anyway, he's been going on online, looking for dates, luring people in, luring a specific type of woman in. We'll get to that in a moment.

[00:06:12] And pretty much he is presenting them information saying, hey, look, you can invest, you know, $10,000, $20,000. How much you got in the bank? How much is in your savings account? Come on, invest with me. And, you know, I've turned, you know, $10,000 into $30,000 and you can do it too. Pretty much this whole scheme, this elaborate scheme to get women on board and saying, you know,

[00:06:38] giving people fake screenshots of his bank accounts, $30 million in his bank account. He said he had at one point. And some of these women, Bryce did it. Some of these women over the course of maybe three or four years sent him in total $1.3 million he got. And so the gag is over these last few years, he's been on social media. I don't know if you guys have seen the clips. He's been on social media

[00:07:07] saying that my parents have, you know, Swiss real estate and we flip homes and we own a stake of Gucci. I'm like a stake of Gucci. Gucci, Gucci, not even in a, in the, the trading world, they not even trade a publicly traded. So yeah, in my investigation, I had to like debunk that Gucci is a private company. They are a part of a conglomerate company, but they are not publicly traded as Gucci. So you

[00:07:36] can't own a stake in Gucci or franchise it. Um, anyway, he said, uh, he, he came up with this, this lie to, um, in my investigation, it was a 49 page document. And he came up with this lie where there's a trading website for beginners and there's an online engine where you can go and just like act like you're trading, like a fake, you know, just you crunch some numbers and put some

[00:08:01] percentages in and it gives you what your return could be. He screenshotted that and said, Hey, look, look, I was able to flip this. Look how much I got. And so some of these women were like, Oh my God, he's got $30 million. Oh my gosh. He's been able to flip stuff. $1.3 million. He's going on social media saying that he has this, he has that he has cars. Look at my McLaren, look at my Tiffany's bracelet.

[00:08:29] Look at my Gucci watch, like all this stuff he's saying. And he's just being so boastful about it. And it's a complete and utter lie, allegedly, according to the FBI. And so, um, and so they finally got him, they finally got him. And, um, he is in jail right now facing one count of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. And the, the icing on the cake is that there is a

[00:08:58] Taylor Chan, 18 years old, a real skinny Asian guy, Google it. And his, his eyebrows are done and he's just very put together. And Taylor Chan, 18 years old, has been doing this with him for years. So if you do the math, Bryce, he's 18. He had to have met due to calculations. He has to have met

[00:09:25] 15, 16, been in a part of this whole scheme. And what, what he would do is what, when Taylor would be brought in, he would be brought in via FaceTime on these dates and Dave would be like, Hey, this is Taylor. This is my investor. This is my, my business partner. I didn't hear you though, Justin, you say he was brought in via what? FaceTime. Don't start. Don't start. Y'all not going to come for me. Okay. Y'all not going to

[00:09:54] say it. And this, and this scheme that Ty set up, that was a crucial point. Okay. Bryce, don't, don't do it. Don't, don't come for me. But anyway, he was brought in via FaceTime the majority of the time. And Taylor had this whole presentation like, yeah, I'm a traitor. I do all this behind the scenes. I'm really good at it. We have this big operation and you would be

[00:10:20] perfect for it. And, and honestly, when the girls would come back and be like, where's my return on investment? They would block them. The two of them will block them and would not return their messages. And it was just one of those things where they just moved on to the next and police, the FBI, they subpoenaed their iCloud messages. So in their text messages, Taylor Chan is talking to some of his

[00:10:47] friends like, yeah, they should be scamming people. And he looked for ugly women because ugly women got money and the pretty ones don't got no money. So we really don't go after the pretty ones. We go after the ones that, you know, might be a seven, a six or a seven. So that was, that's going to be a nail in the coffin. That's going to be brought up in court. Those messages on iCloud and yeah,

[00:11:15] Taylor right now is, is out right now. He's a, he's waiting his court hearing in September, September 10th. So next, next week. And, or I guess when, when, once this comes out, it'll already have happened, but Dejan is in jail right now and he is, it's not looking good for him at all. So that is the story on Dejan. And it is just a mess because he's been seen on social

[00:11:41] media trying to look like he's a football player. He's wearing the helmet on the beach. Like what? He's not acting, running like a football player. He's doing all these fake, look, he's doing all these fake moves. And, and, you know, I'm not a big football player when, or a football connoisseur when it comes to the plays and the, you know, the hikes and all that stuff. But it was kind of ridiculous him being on the beach and a helmet, looking like he's a,

[00:12:06] trying to look like he's a football player. It is crazy because when this story broke, you know, it's all over TikTok. I saw your coverage on, uh, your other platform. And the gag of it is, is that since this report has now been making like national headlines, there have been so many women coming out showing, not just showing, but playing messages. And first of all, he's a talker.

[00:12:35] He, like, he would, first of all, he would have pre-recorded audio messages to be like, yeah, like I'm really trying to get to know you, but like for me to get to know you is da, da, da, da. And, and one of the messages that I saw, some lady, some girl was like, is this a pre-recorded audio message? And he's like, why would you say that? She was like, well, one, it doesn't answer any of the

[00:12:58] questions that I asked you. Two, it's coming up as a voice note. And so people that have eye messages, you know, if you send a quick little note, it comes up as like a voice message. It's coming up as like a voice note and you're just going on and on and on. And it is so crazy. Like there's even like businesses he reached out to like, Hey, I'm going to be in town. Uh, I'd love to

[00:13:24] choose a collaboration for a meal, a meal. And it just goes to show you, right? Like how, first of all, the amount of time that he had been doing it, it was a little more than three years, I think. Um, first of all, you only got $1.3 million. Like I just, I feel like over that amount of time. And also I feel like you should have been going after the gates. Okay. You're like,

[00:13:53] like I I'm confused as to if you were really about money. Yeah. I feel like you should have been hitting up the men because you know what they say about gaming between 25 and like 50 that disposable income. So I just was so confused, but seeing the videos of him online that just continue to surface, it is the funniest thing ever. And now people are even making fake photos with him,

[00:14:21] uh, and using it as promotion, but it's just, but you know, I'm thinking, I'm thinking to myself, he's probably loving this in jail right now. Just like clout. And I'm like, you know more about behavioral health than I do, Bryce. I'm like the narcissism of it all. The there's people like that who really believe their own lies and believe allegedly, you know, alleged lies, um, believe.

[00:14:46] No, it ain't alleged. Okay. The 40, the 49ers have come out and say this, this man has never been a part of our franchise. And first of all, who carries their helmet around with them? Like he would be in videos and you would see the helmet in the car. He would stay flashing his like, just red flag after red

[00:15:09] flag. And so again, I just can't even believe people actually sent him money. I've talked to maybe in my time, two or three people that I felt like it was a scam, but you know me, I'm gonna go for the plot. And first of all, like red flag, number one, they like, let's talk on WhatsApp. Huh? Right. Right. What's that?

[00:15:39] We're not in our show. Already. Already a red flag. The second they go to say it, send some money, baby. I'm out. Block. But it is like rather crazy. And just, but again, I think that it reminds me of like the, the Tinder swindler. It reminds me of that girl, Anna, what was her name? She had that

[00:16:04] whole Netflix, like the real life where she was just like maxing out credit cards, staying at hotels, Anna something. Like, it just reminds me of that, but like to see this man and then not for nothing, you know, I don't like the judge. Hey, not even that attractive. You're skinny. You're like, you're not even like you seeing the video of him on the beach doing that. Like it just is crazy.

[00:16:29] So that mugshot came out. And the fact that these women were in my story, I said head over heels. It's the same thing though, right? Where it's like, and I don't even want to say people are clout chasers, but it's like with these rappers, with these like social media influencers,

[00:16:54] people love that type of who this notoriety that someone has. Um, and I could see, but the second, first of all, I mean, somebody said young Miami had y'all say it where all my scam it at. Okay. They say he right here. Now y'all don't want them. Okay. Right. Yes. Which one is it? Yeah. But some people were like, you know, most of them,

[00:17:23] this is so bad, but most of them were white women. And so most of them were like in the comments, like, Oh, this is reparations. Oh, y'all talking. This is the song of the summer. This where all my scammers at, but when men do it, it's like, Oh my God, the end of the world. So it's interesting to see the comments and people going back and forth about reparations and like gender and how, when things are flipped, um, it's a different ball game. So.

[00:17:48] Yeah. It's, it's rather crazy. Uh, but y'all stay safe out here, but see, that's all that always scares me though. Right. Because it's like some people really just want love and we see all the time and 90 day fiance and these things where it's so very evident that people's intentions are nefarious and you'll see it time and time again on these TV shows where like these older women are

[00:18:14] texting and I don't want to generalize, but the documentaries that I see, they be in Nigeria. Right. And they'll be posting as like this European white man. And they've never talked to him on the phone and they play on the heartstrings. And I just hope that type of love or that type of

[00:18:43] never finds me. And I don't wish that on my worst enemy. Could you imagine like thinking you're in love and like you're sending money? Like I just. Yeah. Yeah. Messy, messy. I mean, these women, it has to be the NFL. It's the NFL clout of it all. Like being a wag. Everybody wants to be a wag. And you know, the thought of that, the, the delusion. I don't want to be a wag. I don't want

[00:19:10] to be a football wife. I don't want to be a basketball wife. I do want to be a baseball wife or a hockey wife. You want to know why? I was going to say you've had your fair share of athletes. That's not. He's not lying. He's not. But money was being deposited to me, but no, but what I'm saying is, is with baseball wives

[00:19:40] and hockey wives, you don't really hear much about them. Like that, like, and especially baseball, cause baseball, where the money, you don't really hear a lot about them. That's me. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Just in the cut. In the cut. Just like, um, that heated rivalry show. Did you watch? So I didn't, um, only because something for me, right, where it's just like,

[00:20:08] I want to see black, like, why can't we ever see black love stories like this? Why can't like, or, or why when it comes to like, for the black queers, why does it always have to be like, a down low? I don't know. So I didn't really get into the heated rivalry of it all. I would give it an episode. Just one. Okay. Yeah. And do that quickly. Oh. Before season two comes out.

[00:20:37] Oh, it's just the right. Okay. Well, listen, y'all stay safe out here. And if you are unsure, if you were talking to a scammer or not, go ahead and text me or go ahead and text Justin and we'll get to the bottom of it. Okay. But I didn't know circumstances should you be sending money and don't go cash or no checks for nobody either. Okay. Don't, don't, don't do none of that. Um, but moving on, uh, we got some

[00:21:06] real, it's first of all, Justin and I are millennials. Justin is an elder millennial. I'm a younger millennial. Uh, we're tired. Okay. We are tired. I don't care what the older generations, the boomers say. I feel like our generation, Justin, the millennials specifically, we have lived

[00:21:28] through it all. And now, and they've been reporting this for a while, but this super El Nino that they are talking about a super El Nino is usually, uh, is an unusual strong climate event where the sea surface temperature and the central and Eastern Pacific oceans, rock ocean rises significantly

[00:21:52] above average and causes different weather patterns to change and cause super weather storms, whether it could be droughts, whether it could be flooding, whether it could be rain. Now we've seen El Ninos before we've lived through a couple of El Ninos, but I, now they're talking about a super

[00:22:16] El Nino. Currently there are three hurricanes right now that are brewing three at once. Um, I'm not sure if you guys have seen that video about the Colorado, Colorado, Colorado, I don't,

[00:22:38] it is a river that sources a lot of fresh water to millions of people, uh, in the area. Maybe about a month ago, some lady was hiking and she took to TikTok and said, Hey y'all I'm standing in the middle of the Colorado river and it looks like a stream. And that's concerning because this is the

[00:23:02] river that sources millions of water. And so we have drought also with these AI companies and these, those, what you call them? The, the data, the data centers that run off of water. Yeah. And making people's, cause I, I live near a community that has a data center and their water pressure has diminished significantly. I'm like, how are y'all living with low water pressure?

[00:23:32] And it's just one of those things where it's just like, I don't, we don't know what to do and they're just dealing with it. But yeah, it's definitely impacting, um, water and the usage. And I even am cognizant of it as I use chat GPT and AI because, um, cause I know what, what it takes to build a data center. Yeah. And go ahead. No, go, go, go. No, as far as the, just the El Nino of it all

[00:23:57] goes, I mean, I think about it, Bryce. I think about when we were young, remember, remember winters were like nine degrees, eight degrees. It used to be cold. It used to be like, sometimes it would get sub-zero. We haven't had that in a long time. We'd be wearing shorts in winter. We'd be wearing shorts at Christmas. Shorts at Christmas. It barely snows. Like, and there's a lot, and we might get some heat for this

[00:24:25] because there are a lot of people who disagree with the whole global warming of it all. Um, and I'm not getting into the science of it. I'm not going to argue with the internet, but you got to start just paying attention to just the basic stuff. Winter, when we were young, used to be cold. Like we, it used to be long John's cold. Okay. And I say this to my friends. I was me and my good friend, Daryl. We were just having

[00:24:51] this conversation the other day. What happened to like spring, summer, winter, fall, winter, right? There, there is no transition anymore. It's 90 degrees one day. And then the next day is 35. Like there is no transition and we can see the effects of global warming. It is warmer.

[00:25:14] We, you, we see, we saw what happened in Nepal, those floodings from that mountain of the mudslide because it warming, the earth is warming. We see it now in these ice, the ice walls, the ice glaciers, they are taking satellite image of the ice glaciers and they are, they can start to see the bottom

[00:25:39] and the way that it has been melting this past year. They said it has accelerated 20, 25 years. And that's just in a year. We see these, the ice melting. They said that the temperature of the water at like the polar and the Arctic, it was like 70 degrees and they're, they're melting away. We got to pay attention to that. I mean, it's just like in our face and I understand people get upset

[00:26:08] about it. They think it's a conspiracy, but I'm like, y'all, we just got to like be human for a second and pay attention to what's happening around us. And just like, you know, everybody's driving a car and the emissions that it gives off. And it's just like, y'all, we got to get it together as a, as a society. The thing that scares me, Justin, with this new report team, um, and this global, don't get me lying, but it's this global alliance that the U S is no longer in. Um,

[00:26:37] they essentially said we're beyond the point of no return. First of all, what do that mean? What does that, so we can't fix this. They said we are beyond the point of no return. Why is it our generation who always, that's what I'm saying. We always, we are getting the short end

[00:27:03] of the stick. We are, have to fix stuff. Our 401k, our pensions, all that stuff. It's that we can't buy houses because of the market. I'm like, we did, we did everything we were supposed to do. Everything. And now we got to fix it and we can't even fix it. We was talking about this and when we was in Atlanta, first of all, I wish I was in Atlanta. Uh, but we was talking, we was talking, well, we know you're not, uh, we were talking about this

[00:27:32] when we went out though, Justin, um, and just like how we're successful, right? Like on paper, I guess, but like, for me, it doesn't feel that way. Right. Where it's just like, it feel like I'm still paycheck to paycheck. It feel like at any given time, the walls could come in and it's like, I don't understand. And I've gone to college. I've got the degrees. I've got

[00:27:59] the job. I've been working and it's just, I just don't understand. And then on top of this, y'all saying we at the point of no return. What? And then you have people that don't even want to acknowledge that global warming is real, but you can't understand why for Thanksgiving, you got your windows down and your air conditioner on because it's hot. Yes, it is not normal. It, things have changed drastically. And I was thinking about that when we're,

[00:28:29] when we're thinking about topics to cover, I'm like, just the idea that again, going back to the whole winter situation, winter is short. Like, especially, you know, in Pennsylvania, I'm used to seeing a little snow, a little ice y'all, when y'all have an event in Pennsylvania, it is a big deal because it's been like two or three years that there's been a snow event or something like that. And Georgia is even worse. Um, Georgia doesn't really have snow, snow like that. And I haven't

[00:28:58] seen snow in years in Georgia where I live. So, um, yeah, it's just one of those things. And if, if it's the point of no return, I guess, Bryce, we just gonna have to, we're gonna have to walk in the sunset together. My friend, listen, you're just gonna have to figure it out. Okay. You might as well stay in New York. Um, yeah, I'm never going to get off of that, but just, and again, it just also just makes you feel hopeless. Like, what can we do if you're,

[00:29:27] if, if, if these credible agencies are saying it's past the point of return, what are we supposed to do? That's just, it just is scary. It just, and these increasing weather patterns that they're saying, we haven't even gotten to like the, the, the, the center of this super El Nino yet. Like, and so I'm just worried what is going to happen next. We've been seeing

[00:29:53] flooding in areas that we haven't seen flooding ever before. We've been seeing these torrential storms like Philadelphia. We got like a tornado in West Philly and it just like, we we've seen, we've started to see some of the patterns. And if y'all saying this ain't even, this ain't even the spot yet, it just makes me nervous. And so, um, just pay attention. If you listen to the weather

[00:30:19] reports and, and take them serious. Okay. Uh, and that's another thing I can't stand, even though I live for the videos where people be like, is that a tornado? Oh my God, girl, get in the house and get in the basement. Away from the window. Okay. But I watched the video. Um, cause listen, it's twisted. That was the movie. Um, we also have our girl Beyonce.

[00:30:45] She has released her 20th anniversary of B day and the B day hive is upset. They're like, girl, where's act three. She chose this photo with the alligator and people are saying, if you watched, if you went to the, uh, cowboy Carter tour in the intermissions, she had an alligator walking around

[00:31:11] the village. And so people are putting together that she was hinting to us that this was the intermission group. Like, okay. The delulu hive be delusional. Now, do I love and do I listen to all of the think tanks? I do. But now y'all trying to say this is an interlude to act three. I'm just, I'm just upset about the, the merch of it all.

[00:31:44] I will not. I know. I will not Beyonce be buying a $900 box. Box. Now empty box. People are saying she is trolling. People are saying that clearly she doesn't expect, well, mind you, and it's limited edition. Okay. Only 500 were made. It's a wooden box that has a B stamp on it. Uh, and it is, I think it was $924. The price was like her birthday.

[00:32:14] And, and then in your roles, she made it like seven 11. Um, and so again, people are just saying that she's trolling, but people are buying it. Uh, and it's supposed to house all of your vinyls of Beyonce. So woohoo. Yay. But girl, let's, let's get to act three. Okay. What are we doing? Well, people were saying, you know, when, when she was spotted on her birthday at Jay-Z's, um,

[00:32:41] Jay-Z's concert, she had that, the B-Day hoodie. She had that hair. She had the hoodie, like she's been working. She got that, you know, the, them sweats on, like she's been making decisions that she's been cussing people out. Cause you know, not cussing, but you know, she'll give you the look. You don't put purple light on black girls. I told y'all to fix this yesterday. Why are we going through this again? So until we figure that out, I'm not going to,

[00:33:09] I'm not going to have this conversation. So that is, that is where I'm like, okay, this is working. She got on these, she could be wearing anything. She got on the, this, her classic sweatpants. She's been, she's been at the studio or making visuals or rehearsing. Something is, uh, something is. And sorry to those fans that went to that London show,

[00:33:34] uh, that bought tickets on her birthday because we saw with Jay-Z and his concert series that he did, uh, in New York that Beyonce came out for them. And I was expecting her. I was expecting her to do something, uh, to come out or something. There were people in their cowboy Carter sashay. They were, they were crying at the end of the concert because they really thought Beyonce was coming out.

[00:34:01] I don't know what's happening, but the thing that I do appreciate the most about this B-Day rollout is there are B-Day was Beyonce's second album. I remember when she dropped Deja Vu, I was at work. I didn't love it. Deja Vu was one of those songs that like grew on me. Um, but B-Day was Beyonce's first visual album. And I remember, I don't know if it was BET, but she did the behind the scenes of

[00:34:28] making all of the, the 13 videos and like two weeks. And so a lot of that has been resurfacing of seeing her shoot three videos in one day doing 18 hour days. And it's like, they don't, the girls aren't working like how we got to watch Beyonce work. Like she was absolutely working. Um, and a lot of the new songs on the album, they're not new songs because if you were around

[00:34:58] during the B-Day time, the LimeWire era, we already had these songs. You done lost your mind? Went triple platinum on my computer. Creo, triple platinum, backup. That's back in the day when I was making CDs. Did I ever make you a CD, Justin? Okay. I think you cut me a CD or two in the LimeWire days. Yeah. And I still have them. Yeah. So do I like my, my personal, I make a CD because I would just download songs. And so

[00:35:27] we've heard these songs, but it's good to actually see her put them out. And the fans have noticed on these new songs, backup, Creo, you have lost your mind. Miss Beyonce, Giselle knows has re-recorded them. Okay. The key is, it's a little lower. Uh, some of the fans don't like it. I don't

[00:35:51] mind it. I still have the, I still go to YouTube. And, uh, so very interesting that she would re-record them. Love that for her. Love that. But okay. We 20 year anniversary. Yeah. And that's so bad. So the, the, it's out right now, right? It's out right now. Yes. Is it bad that I haven't listened

[00:36:13] to it? You've listened to B-Day like before. So, okay. So I'm really not missing much. You're not. So there is some new songs and some remixes. What brings us to this drama that we have where Beyonce has a Selena song on the irreplaceable remix in Spanish. Now Beyonce is getting a lot of slack because the people that love Selena, love Selena. And they feel like Beyonce shouldn't be touching

[00:36:41] Selena's work. They also feel like Beyonce is playing in Spanish. Like they're like, why, why would she record these songs in Spanish? They feel like Beyonce is trying to fish for a Grammy. But what y'all don't know is that when this album dropped in 2006 or 2007, she had a Spanish version. She was singing irreplaceable in Spanish on Good Morning America. Selena is from Texas. Beyonce is from

[00:37:10] Texas. Beyonce met Selena. And so they're kind of, a lot of people are saying that the community around Selena is being a little racist towards Beyonce. And it's because she's a black woman and they're saying like, you don't turn that shit, you don't. And it's like, well, one, they're both from Texas. And a lot of the Selena fans, we know the Selena estate is a little shady with her siblings, but

[00:37:39] the estate signed off on it. Selena's husband, her, her husband appreciates it, but there is a lot of discourse around Beyonce using this. And there is a lot of hate that you don't normally see from different artists. And so it's really weird because it's like one thing Beyonce going to do is be intentional. One thing Beyonce, like she's never going to try to disrespect. She's talked about

[00:38:08] Selena years prior. Like, so it is a little weird. And so there is this little controversy with Selena. But we love Selena. We love Beyonce. And shout out to the B-Day deluxe 20th year anniversary. Let's get to Cowboy Carter, sister. I mean, let's get to Act 3, sister. Act 3. Whatever that looks like. Let's move it along. Awesome. Before El Nino gets us. Okay.

[00:38:38] I'm proud. But during the Beyonce era, she did like a album signing. And so I'm not sure if you're seeing this photo circulating, but you can go to Mama Tina's page because, you know, she posts everything. Beyonce is wearing that same shirt and she did an album signing in London. And so it was just really cool to see like, well, damn, 20 years ago. And like, she still looks the same. But also, which is real interesting for me is that if you look at the shirt, it's like a black

[00:39:06] shirt with a little lace in it. It gives a little rock and roll. And so it is quite interesting. You're paying attention. I mean, listen, you got to. Okay. Let's see. It is going to be rocked up. Absolutely. But I'm curious to hear it. It's like, I just, I want to just get into it. I just want to find my jams. I just need to find my two hands to heaven, find my plastic sofa. Like I just,

[00:39:36] I just need to get into it. But also in Philly, we got another little Philly mashup, which we got for us with our girl, Naomi Osaka. Yes, Naomi. So tennis, y'all know, I don't know if y'all know, but tennis is my sport. So I've been, I've been watching the U S open since it started a week and a half or so ago, I'm going to the U S open. And of course the big spectacle is Naomi Osaka and what she is wearing over the past few years.

[00:40:03] She has been known to come and rock a gown, rock bright colors. And this year it is no different. She came out day one, round one of the U S open in New York city in a full, I think his, his name is Tom Brown, the designer law Roach was there with his bus down. I'm like, Oh,

[00:40:27] here we go. Um, so yeah, she came out with a full gown on tool at the bottom, um, a jacket with a whole bunch of, um, it was so cool. A whole bunch of headlines of her, um, plastered on the jacket. Um, and so it was paying homage to Allen Iverson and Allen Allen Iverson's impact in the sports community, specifically back in the early two thousands, when he was coming out

[00:40:54] with the braids and he had the tattoos and he had the arm sleeve. He was making headlines for being too urban and being too flashy and the black community, the culture really took, took it and ran with it and really embraced him. And, you know, of course he's a sick, he was a sixer. And of course he has a special place in my heart. I had the basketball, the Allen Iverson braids, the straight backs with the hang time and the jerse. I got pictures and all types of stuff, but, um, but anyway,

[00:41:24] I had a little hang time, just a little bit, just a little bit. Um, but yes, this is the gown. Um, and yeah, she's, she's always going to, to just make a headline for what she wears. And some of the other girls are trying to follow suit. One of her, I think the top tennis player, her name is Irina Sabalenka. She also was wearing kind of a basketball type inspired look because Nike came out

[00:41:51] and said, we want our, our Nike athletes to pay homage. So I guess the theme is the basketball theme for us open. So of course, Naomi is going to take it and run with it and came out swinging. And, um, she came out and said, Allen Iverson, he's just been, uh, somebody that I love to a trailblazer and fashion and, and, and athletics. And, um, and Allen Iverson responded. It was really, it was a really nice exchange on social media. They've never met before, but Allen Iverson came out

[00:42:21] and said, what an honor. I cannot wait to, to meet you one day. Um, and so of course she had the braids too. And, and Bryce, there was a little drama with the, with the cornrows that I didn't know about behind the scenes. Yes. So there also is, I just want to just add, um, Naomi has been very vocal about standing at who she is, uh, as a black woman. And she's faced a lot of scrutiny,

[00:42:48] uh, over these years and tennis. And so I heard a pay homage to Allen Iverson where it is like how you mentioned, he did set a trend and people were like, you know, the baggy clothes, a bit, very blackness, very, a very, very black style. And the NBA responded by implementing a dress code on and off the court that people refer to it really as the AI Allen Iverson dress code.

[00:43:16] And so they're always policing blackness. And so I think there was, I can't confirm this, but there's a lot of sources online that are reporting that like after her match, she went to do her press and there was, I don't know if somebody on her, obviously not her team, but someone in the press pool or was whatever, like, uh, told her to cover up her braids, uh, as it wouldn't be seen appealing to be answering questions and braids. And so what I love about

[00:43:45] Naomi is that she's blackety black. Uh, she said, okay, you want me to cover them up? She put a do-rag on and just, just, she's going to be hurt herself and they can't say nothing about it. What you going, what you going to tell me to take off this do-rag? Why? And a reporter asked like, what, like, why are you wearing a do-rag? And she actually was like, well, they told me they wanted me to cover my braids. And so she said, I, I put a do-rag on

[00:44:14] and there's not a black household in America that you can't go and find a do-rag. Okay. Like it's just, um, yeah. So I love her authentic self. And yes, I mean, it's 2026. Now, mind you, I know tennis is a very, um, conservative sport, you know, for years it's been, but as we get more black players, of course we had Serena and Venus as the only for so long. And now we have some rising

[00:44:44] black stars who are not afraid to be themselves. Coco golf is one of them. She has braids. She has boho braids. Um, of course, Naomi Osaka. And then we have Francis Tiafo. He'll come out there wearing bright colors and everybody's call him big foe. And, you know, it's, it's becoming a, uh, you know, a cultural, there's a significant cultural shift that's happening, uh, within tennis. And I am here for it because there are no rules to say that you can't be your authentic self,

[00:45:14] um, on the tennis court. Like those days are over. And we even know the years and years of scrutiny that Venus and Serena got for them wearing their, their braids and their beads, all the names and the things that they called them. So yeah. Still to this day. To this day. You can have all the, Serena got 20 plus grand slams, like 23 or so, 22, 23. And people are still like throwing stones at her.

[00:45:42] It's only urban when we wear it, but when people go on vacation and want to get their hair braided, uh, it's trendy. It's cute. Or just, I, it's just, I always hear this saying where it's like they love or just people in general, right? Where it's like, they love the black culture. Like they love everything about us and they want to take from us. They just don't want to be us.

[00:46:06] And like, it's just so true where it's just like, we, we just, I don't, I, we just have that it factor. And even, I don't know if you remember during TikTok time when people were taking from black creators, their dances and, you know, using videos and getting other creators that didn't look like them. And so there was like a month or two where a black creator said, we're not creating

[00:46:33] nothing. And TikTok was so boring. You had people overseas being like black Americans. Can you please come back to social media? We're missing you. And so, uh, you see it everywhere. My story next week is about, it's going to be about that. Um, on Instagram, it's going to be about, um, pretty much a man who had a company, like a skincare company.

[00:46:56] Oh, the good, the good. Yes. The good skincare. Yes. And that lady, but that lady took it with the smile and everything. But here's my thing. Why are you going to trademark it? Why are you just trademarking it now? But he, he, even though he didn't trademark it, he still, and I believe,

[00:47:17] I forget what state he is in. Uh, but it still holds up with when you can show that they are copying, but yes. Oh, I I'm on it. Okay. I'm on it. Oh yeah. I'm on the case. I'm interviewing him, um, in the next few days. So I'll be letting you, I'll be letting the world know what's going on because it is happening and it's very sad. He created that in like 20, 2016, him and his,

[00:47:45] him and his husband shot the concepts. Yes. And she was going to make the smile and like, yeah. Okay. I can't wait to see that. Uh, and then our last thing I did want to just bring up, uh, is kind of like housewives story. We have Kim Zosiac Beerman, or I guess she just goes by Kim Zosiac now and Croy Beerman, their son, Croy KJ Beerman Jr. He was arrested maybe three weeks ago.

[00:48:12] And at that time it was only two charges. Um, and he was not allowed bail, but he was formally indicted, um, on seven counts of aggravated child Molo, uh, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy and false imprisonment. Uh, this happened from an incident at a gym last year.

[00:48:38] Uh, and this is just crazy. Um, we watched him grow up. We not even watched party for the party, but like we, she was pregnant with him. We, we've seen him. You are absolutely right. And like, you know, he is a housewife kids and sometimes housewife kids, they do get into trouble here and there. We've seen, you know, Nene Leak's son stealing. We've seen other sons DUIs,

[00:49:04] but this is a little different. And you know, my background in child welfare and mental health, I, and we've, we know the, the, the turmoil of that relationship with Kim and Croy that was going on for like five years. The police constantly being called to that house. She's living in the basement. He's upstairs. They're going back and forth. He, the alcohol, the drugs, all of the things. And so

[00:49:31] like to have this 15 year old boy, um, and I've worked many cases, uh, where children have been, uh, assaulted and children on children. And like, I used to have to sit in, it's called mission kids where they would, uh, in a very like nurturing place, like interview the, like the person that has assaulted and the victim to get these statements to go to court. And I'm like on the other side

[00:49:58] watching and like, I I've, I've done this. And so for me, I have felt that most kids, that's like, that's a learned behavior, right? Like kids just don't come out and do things like that. And so it's just crazy. Um, he could possibly face up to like 25 years or life in prison. Um, and so that's just kind of been making a headline. So I just wanted to just put it on the casual tea

[00:50:28] where it's like very, so sorry to that victim. And like, again, thankful that her family protected her and said, okay, we're going to the police. We're like, we're doing all of the things because there are so many times that people say things have happened and people brush it under the rug. And just, you know, I'm, I'm grateful for that, but it is just such a sad story. And just so young to like those type of behaviors is, is rather scary.

[00:50:56] Yeah. And I haven't seen the criminal complaint or the affidavit. I think I might cover it, uh, soon once, you know, we get to preliminary hearing and all of that, but I'm interested. These are very stiff charges. That is the one thing that stood out to me. This ain't no, like, you know, uh, you know, sexual harassment or, you know, it's not anything like that. This is like, these are felony charges and multiple felony charges. I'm interested to know what police

[00:51:23] have. As far as evidence go, they have to have had something, um, video, video, you know, surveillance in the gym of him pulling her. Something has to have, have something has to have happened on the evidence front for them to file so many felony charges. And of course, with witness statements and it's going to be, I'm just interested to see what he did to her to

[00:51:47] warrant this. And it had to have been, um, violent and in a public place and a public like that, that's the, uh, and things like that make me feel like this couldn't have been the first time, right? Like it just like false imprisonment, like you're in a gym crazy. And so, uh, very curious to

[00:52:13] see. And then sometimes I even think like as a family, how do you continue to move on? Right? Like we know Kim's older daughter, a Brielle and Ariana Brielle's getting married soon. Um, she had a bridal shower. I just always like, do you cancel the wedding? I get like life's like,

[00:52:38] I don't know. It's just such a weird, it would have to be such a weird thing to. Yeah. There's so many, there's, there's such highs and there's, there's so, so many lows in their life. And, you know, Kim, of course she puts a smile on her face, but I know behind the scenes is chaos behind the scene. Even her, her divorce is kind of fresh. Like it's just was a year and a half or so

[00:53:03] ago that they were going through it and the house and they had a beautiful house in the suburbs of Atlanta. And, um, they were fighting over that. And there was like police called and body camera footage shown. I mean, it has been a trying time for Kim and her family. And I hope that, you know, whatever happens, it will be, I guess, justice, justice will be served no matter what happens,

[00:53:29] whether he did it or whether he didn't do it. And, um, you know, it's there's siblings involved and young children involved. So I just, I pray that their family will get through it as best they can. As well as the victim. As well. Oh, and the victim. Cause now this is, this is kind of re-traumatizing all over again. So it is, um, it's crazy. And just for it to just not to only have to go through this, but then at such a high

[00:53:55] public level, because who the parents are is crazy. Uh, but. And then they have to testify. You're right. It just brings up so much trauma. Really. It is too about the victim at the end of the day, 100%. And it's disgusting that we're going to have to sit there and have to listen to the details and I'll be on it. I'm gonna let y'all know what's going on. So that is, you know, Justin's got a train to get to, uh, but we wanted to make sure that we were

[00:54:24] here to give you a September casual tea. As always, we appreciate you for listening and watching. Uh, let us know what you think of these topics we got and we'll see you in, oh, it's crazy to say October. Uh, thank you as always, Justin's great to have you great to always get to catch up with you. Uh, and we'll see you next week. This has been your September's casual tea. Bye y'all.
