[00:01:46] This week, myself and Amon Adwin are diving into the latest headlines from the Saving Wendy documentary on Tubi, the Cowboy Carter tour ticket chaos that has the beehive in shambles. We're also unpacking Google's decision to remove Black History Month and other cultural observations from its calendar, plus the buzz around Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance.

[00:02:14] And of course, we have to talk about the military's controversial new policy on trans enlistment. This and so much more. So let's get in to this week's casual tea. It's a casual tea with Amon and B. It's a casual tea with Amon and B. It's a casual tea with Amon and B.

[00:02:42] It's a casual tea with Amon and B. It's a casual tea. And we are back celebrating the Bryce Birthday Bash week.

[00:03:10] If you are not participating, well, you are participating now. I'm super excited to be bringing us the casual tea. And of course, I can't do the casual tea without my co-host, Amon Adwin. Amon, welcome back to the party, to the Bryce Birthday Bash week. How are you? Oh, it is your birthday. I keep forgetting that we're both in February. Oh, my God. Yes. I'm good. Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry, y'all. I've been talking about this cough for so long. It's like I'm on the tail end of it.

[00:03:40] Like the past like five podcasts that I've recorded, I've coughed at least three times. Anyway, I am good. Really excited. It's been a busy week here in Philadelphia. Busy week for me personally. I had like a ski trip last week. Then all the Super Bowl shenanigans. And so it's just, it's nice that today, which is, we're recording this on Sunday, the 16th. And tomorrow, which is President's Day, I have no plans. I'm just going to do my laundry, keep to myself, get my groceries together and just like, just chill.

[00:04:09] Because it's been a long, a long couple of weeks. That sounds amazing. Wait, you went skiing. I recently went skiing as well in Idaho. How was it? It was great. I went back home to Pittsburgh. There's a ski resort by the name of Seven Springs, like an hour outside of the city. That's where I grew up learning how to ski. When I was in ski club in middle school and high school, that's where we all went. And so it was so nice. I was a little nervous because I was like, oh my God, I haven't skied in over a decade. Like, am I going to be able to do this? But it really is like riding a bike.

[00:04:40] It was fun. I was very familiar. Some of the, I was worried that maybe some of the slopes would have changed, but everything is kind of the same. It was so interesting, like being there as an adult without all of my old friends. So, but I, well, I technically did have some of, cause I went back with old Pittsburgh friends, but you know, not the entire club. But it was, it was really, really nice. And I wanted back in my life on a consistent basis. So I'm already trying to get all my Philly friends now because I've never been to the Poconos like to ski yet. So I'm like, all right, this winter y'all are coming to the mountains with me.

[00:05:09] Cause I need skiing back in my life. I'm a true baby in that, in that way. Did you fall at all? Were you good? I did not fall once. There were a couple, there were a couple, couple close calls. Um, and I went down. So what is it? What's this? What's the scale? The double black diamond is the, is the, is the, is the hardest. Black. Then it's blue. Then I believe it's blue. Blue first or green first? I think green is first and then blue. So I went down, I went down a blue circle.

[00:05:37] Um, and I was like, Ooh, I was almost lost a little bit of control, but for the most part, I stayed on my two feet. I was like, okay. All right. I got it. Okay. Yes. I love that. Like two weeks ago, I went skiing again for the first time in a decade as well. And it did not feel familiar. Uh, I had to, I felt like I had to learn it all over again, but I picked it up relatively quickly. I did have a couple of tumbles because Jatia wanted us to go on the blue lifts.

[00:06:07] And I'm like, girl, I'm like, girl, like we need to stay on a green. I didn't know Jatia skis. Yes. Jatia skis. Okay. We were the only people of color out there. Uh, and yeah, like I, I fell a couple of times. I've maybe felt three times, but I got back up every time. Last time. I didn't know, uh, whether or not I was going to be able to get up because again, it's on the blue slope and Jatia is trying to take me away.

[00:06:35] And I'm like, girl, I, I, I likes to, but it was a super fun. And so yeah, keep me posted on your, uh, your ski trip. I don't know if I'm trying to go anytime soon, but for you. Well, we might, I made, cause it was a little, it was expensive as hell too. Uh, baby. I was learning that when I posted about my ski trip, first of all, it was like, it was interesting. The comments and the people that were DMing me, uh, I didn't realize skiing was such a, a flex, a flex on social media.

[00:07:05] Oh, it is? Uh, because it's expensive. It's a craft that select few only really part kind of sort of partake in. And yeah, so it's literally like a flex. I didn't realize that so many people were hitting me up. I was like, yeah, I mean, it was expensive. However, when I was out in Idaho out West, they were talking trash about us out East, our ski slopes. They're not, they said it's not the same. They said it's not, the snow is different. They said it's more icier. So.

[00:07:35] I can agree with that. I mean, even though I've never skied any place else other than in Seven Springs, I know what they mean because like, because even with, it was cold enough that they had the snow guns on. So they were making their own snow there. But the way that they make the snow, it's kind of, if, because it has to stay frozen, right? But it freezes over. So there were some parts of the slopes that had like this thin layer of ice on top of the actual snow.

[00:08:01] And I know like out there, like Colorado, Idaho, you know, those real mountains, I can probably imagine that their snow is like probably, you know, more what you'd be accustomed to. So I get it. I really would like to go out there. A part of me is like, damn, like since I've learned how to ski in Pittsburgh, am I not ready for the big leagues yet? But you'll be ready because I was ready and you seem way more advanced than me. So I know that you would be right. Or probably I can guarantee you're probably on the same.

[00:08:30] Like I'm, I, you know, I know my way around a little, like I do a little pizza wedge. Okay. I can do a little J curve. I can do, you know, I can, I can do what I can, but like, I'm not, there were people that were like, there were kids, like teeny, like no more than like eight years old that were just zooming down the hill. And I'm like, y'all got it. Like, I don't know how y'all got it. But you know, listen, the rule of thumb and skin is you are worried for everybody in front of you, not behind you. So keep it cute. That's how I was going down the hill with my J's.

[00:09:00] I was swerving. That's the only way you could really control it. But enough of our skiing. Again, we are. Oh, I want to go back. I know. It really was so much fun. But when I tell you my body, my shoulders still hurt. My sides still hurt. I'm like, you know, it is the Bryce birthday bash week, but I am definitely feeling the age. And if you haven't already, please make sure you subscribe to the Purple Pants podcast for my birthday. You know, baby boy, anything for the birthday. You can subscribe to the Purple Pants podcast.

[00:09:30] You can subscribe to the Bryce Isaiah YouTube page. It would mean so much to me as I am celebrating my birthday week this week with you all. But we've got some casual tea topics to get into this week. So listen, let's dive right into them. Aman, Aman, Aman. You know. We have been covering the Wendy Williams saga since its inception. Listen. Not this. I don't know.

[00:09:59] It's really not funny. It's really not funny. But this is. Okay. She wasn't prepared for the visual. Listen. She wasn't. She's not allowed to have visual. She's not allowed to have visitors. And so Harvey from TMZ, when we talked. About Wendy on the Breakfast Club last month and how she did the interview with Charlemagne. She also did two other interviews. Harvey. I always get his last name wrong. I always say the other Harvey. So I say Harvey from TMZ. And she did Don Lemon.

[00:10:30] And I think we even talked about the Don Lemon show. Or the Don Lemon interview. Where I didn't necessarily like the Don Lemon interview. Because again, I felt like the niece was there. And Don kept like cutting the niece off. And being like, I want to hear directly from Wendy. Again, she kind of sort of echoed the same thing on all three interviews. But since then, Harvey said, I'm going to help you out. We are going to make this documentary. It's called TMZ Presents Saving Wendy. Now, I was a little taken aback when I saw the platform that it was on. It was on Tubi.

[00:11:01] That wasn't on my bingo card. But it is. The documentary serves its purpose, right? The documentary. And Harvey is a lawyer. And we know Harvey from TMZ. He does not play. And I really feel like Harvey did this documentary in the way that he did it. So that it could be not admissible. But or is that the word? Or so that it could be brought into court. Is that admissible? Admissible, yep. So it could be admissible in court.

[00:11:30] Because again, they are trying to say that she has dementia. She has this front lobe. Diversia. Oh, however you say it. Aphasia. And that she is incapacitated. So the way the documentary is kind of sort of set, it really is to show that Wendy is here. Another really two things that I took from this documentary. One, I think the documentary did a really good job. And I think that they need to actually, let me take my words back.

[00:12:00] I feel like the documentary did an okay job at driving home this point that Wendy is not incapacitated. She may not be the Wendy that we all remember and love. But this Wendy that we have right now is not incapacitated. And she should deserve freedoms, right? Like I think that that was an underlying point of this documentary. I think they could have did a better job at driving that home, right?

[00:12:29] Like I feel like her niece talked about it in the middle and towards the end. But again, this documentary, because everyone keeps saying, Wendy's back. She's back. And I'm like, what Wendy are they seeing? However, they're trying to drive this point home that the Wendy that we all know and love and remember, she's a different Wendy now. This is the Wendy that we have. And this Wendy is not incapacitated. It might not be the Wendy that we remember,

[00:12:57] but this Wendy is still in her own right with it. And I think that that really was the point of this documentary. Now, the second part of this documentary is we now know why and how Wendy got up in here. And I have to take it back to myself because I was even defending this person when we first were talking about Wendy Williams is her son, Kevin Jr.

[00:13:24] Now, I knew something had to be somewhat fishy when Wendy resurfaced a month ago, and she was doing this press circuit. What I was always so confused about is why is it her niece, Alex, doing this? Why is her son, Kevin, not the one that is advocating for Wendy? I always thought that that was like so interesting. And it's like, okay, has her son tried to go up to New York to see her?

[00:13:53] We know he's living in Miami. That raised some red flags. But now we know. We know. It be the ones closest to you. It was Wendy Williams' son that essentially initiated all of this conservator and guardianship. He was abusing his access to his mother's bank account. We all know we saw that Lifetime documentary. Yes, Amon. We saw that Lifetime documentary.

[00:14:23] That's when she was in the conservatorship. Prior to that, she was in Miami with her son, Kevin. She says in the documentary that at a point in time, Kevin would have her phone. He wouldn't give it to her. Kevin was making $50,000, $100,000 withdrawals from her account. He even had, he introduced somebody to Wendy that is in her same age bracket in the documentary. Wendy reveals that that same person he introduced them to, she tried to call the bank to pretend

[00:14:51] to be her to get money out. So let's be clear. Wells Fargo did their job because it was the fact that her son was making these large amounts, no Wendy to be found. The bank had been trying to get in contact with Wendy. And it seems like her son, Kevin Jr. Wasn't allowing it to happen. And so Wendy says she loves her son, but he's been a horrible person to her. And that's like, oh my God.

[00:15:20] Now mind you, I still feel like, big Kevin, a little Kevin, they was in this together. That's what I feel like. I don't care what nobody says, but it's Kevin Jr. Ain't that crazy? I am gobsmacked right now because Wendy always spoke so highly of her son. Like, and she always, you know, amidst all of the stuff that was going on with her husband,

[00:15:49] her ex-husband, and all this stuff, like she always just emphasized how much she wanted to protect her son, have her son remain, you know, retain this like sense of normalcy, go to college, be young, you know, make his own way. Always very proud of him. Um, and it's coming out that he was the blame for this?

[00:16:15] Like that to me, like she was already betrayed by his daddy. And now you're doing it too? It just, I can't even, what, like for, because clearly, clearly Wendy is having issues, you know, with, she's having a few issues. It feels like, so instead of caring for your mother, you decide to use that against her

[00:16:45] and make it be all her fault. She is the reason why she's in this conservatorship and not you. Wir sind Teresa und Nemo. Und deshalb sind wir zu Shopify gewechselt.

And during the time that all of this was happening, we saw in the Lifetime documentary, she was drinking. And so she was drinking and she was a mess. And that also added to her incoherence and a lot of different things. And it seems like when she was still with her son, Kevin, she was drinking.

[00:17:44] And that's how he was able to kind of like take these large sum of money out. They talked about how he tried to rent a boat for his birthday. That's supposed to be like, uh, I don't know, say $15,000. He ended up renting a boat that was like $137,000. Oh my God. Like, yeah, it'd be your own kids. And so, and again, Wendy says that he's done some horrible things. He doesn't have the most savory people around him, but that's her son and she still love him.

[00:18:14] But again, now we have the answers and I feel like it is important. Harvey from TMZ did a good job because these are some of the facts that we needed to know as the public. And if you want us to be advocating for free Wendy, like we wanted to know what started this all, right? Like there were just certain things. And so again, I like how in the documentary, um, because we know that since Wendy had did that press run with, um, the Breakfast Club and Harvey and Don Lennon, the judge ordered,

[00:18:44] put a gag order that Wendy couldn't talk about to any media outlets. Uh, but they recorded this before the judge made the ruling and I don't think they knew about it because again, Wendy is just on the phone with Harvey and she is in her prison as she calls it. And they are just filming her as they are talking to Harvey. And so it's just really interesting.

[00:19:09] Uh, and a lot of the stuff that we are learning and Harvey also goes in to say that the fact that they are saying that she's incapacitated, the fact that they're saying that this front lobe dementia that she has is progressing is not going to get worse. Harvey then brings in a medical expert and then ask them, have you ever heard of alcohol induced dementia? And they say, yes. And they said the type of dementia that Wendy has and alcohol, uh, the alcohol induced dementia, they look very similar.

[00:19:36] And so it shows, however, with dementia, you don't get better with alcohol, uh, induced dementia. If you stop drinking, sometimes you can improve. Sometimes you don't. Well, the good thing that Wendy is in this conservatorship and kind of in this lockup is that she's been sober at this point for two years. And so the fact that she clearly is more cognitively with it would, would and could lend to the fact that this could be alcohol induced.

[00:20:07] Another thing is maybe when she went into this, this was three years ago. That's what she was drinking. And we noticed, why hasn't there been an updated assessment done to reevaluate Wendy? And so at the end of the documentary, it does say that the guardian has agreed to have Wendy reevaluated, although they don't believe that she will, uh, the diagnosis will be any different. And we were recording this on Sunday. It looks like Wendy was able to make it to Miami for her father's birthday.

[00:20:37] Hey, bag, if you have not already, you need to see these images of Wendy Williams in the airport in her motorized scooter. And here's the thing. You think she's capacitated? Ain't nobody could drive a motorized scooter with one hand. Wendy is driving the scooter with one hair, flicking, flicking her hair that people are saying, hey, Wendy, and she can't help but to smile and just be so excited to be out. So yes, Wendy Williams is not operating on the same level that she once was.

[00:21:05] However, where she is operating, she does not need to be in as restrictive place that she's in. Her niece Alex says, yeah, there does need to be something done with the money that like it's locked down only Wendy. And when Wendy could go through these proper channels, it can be approved. No one else can have access to it. However, she still deserves a life to be with her family, her friends, and not locked up in a memory unit.

[00:21:30] And so, yeah, this is, I'm saddened by this because I, the number one question that we had the last time was like, why is the family being cut off? I don't understand like why, like where is her son? Why, why is this not a family affair? Why does it seem like she is by herself going through this? And now we kind of get why. Right.

[00:22:00] And my thing is, sorry, but like, why, like, why isn't the son fighting as hard as the niece? Why? Like, you know what I mean? Like, it just seems like, yeah, you're in school, but a lot of these interviews are telecom. And I don't care if I'm in school or not. If my mom is somewhere where I can't find her again, I'm going crazy. I'm pulling up idiot everywhere. I'm making a stink. That's because he knew it was his fucking fault. Excuse me. Like, and he didn't want, I'm damn sure he didn't want this image coming to light because

[00:22:28] again, Wendy has done a pretty good job of sort of like shielding her son from a lot of stuff. Like we don't really, I don't even know what Wendy's son even looked like until maybe about two years ago. And so I think that he is well aware of the fact that like, he is not a public figure and could potentially get away with, Oh, you know, just steal my mom's Amex card and order a boat for the weekend. Who cares? Not thinking about any of the repercussions that this could have on his mom.

[00:22:56] Like, it's just, this sucks. But I'm glad she was able to get out. I'm glad because she really wanted to see her dad because her dad does not have too much longer on this earth. And that would have been horrible that had she not been able to at least celebrate some more time with him. So I'm thank God for TMZ. And I can't believe I'm saying that because we know TMZ, but it seems like they, they did a good job of putting the spotlight on this situation.

[00:23:22] And it feels like something clicked, something worked for them because Wendy was able to get out. So, well, not out now, a weekend pass, a little reprise. Yeah. Another thing that her niece said that was running through my mind is I remember when I was younger, one of my brothers took my mom's debit card and they like charged some things up. And I wasn't even that young. I was in high school. And I remember my mom got these charges and she went to the bank.

[00:23:50] And in order for my mom to get her money back, the bank was like, okay, like we'll process this. But we're going to, they were able to like, hey, well, money was taken out of this ATM machine. And we like, that's the ATM machine we always go to. And so the bank was essentially saying like, if you want to move forward, we are going to do our due diligence.

[00:24:16] We will check the cameras and we're going to go after the person that took this money, which was my brother. So my mom, when they saw the location of the ATM, my mom kind of put two and two together. Here's my thing. Wells Fargo. With Wendy's consent or not, why are y'all not going after her son? Why are y'all not going after this woman that's pretending to be her?

[00:24:43] Why does the illusion look like Wendy is being punished? She's in this locked facility that she can't see anybody. She can't leave. They said in the last month, she has only went outside twice. Yeah. And this doesn't, it doesn't seem like someone needs to be locked up into a facility because of mismanagement of funds. If anything, I feel like you do what you're supposed to do.

[00:25:08] And the bank is like, yeah, we're going to shut this account down for now until we figure out what's going on. But why does the person also have to get shut down? That doesn't make any sense to me. So it seemed like in the documentary, like, yeah, the legal part of it became, or the money part became because of these large amounts of funding. Now, this part of where Wendy is kind of sort of came about because they were looking at it like abuse.

[00:25:36] Because when the bank was trying to get in contact with Wendy, they could not get in contact with her. And in the documentary, Wendy was saying there were times when she was in Miami with her son, Kevin, he would take her phone. She wouldn't have access to her phone. That is abuse. And so essentially it's like they were unable to get to Wendy.

[00:25:59] So that's where kind of like this physical aspect comes in because they're like, okay, it looks like she is at a pretty vulnerable state and she's being exploited. That's abuse. That's abuse. But my thing is, if that is abuse, where are the charges? I don't care if it's her son or not, because sometimes family has to learn a lesson. Oh, it's such a hard position to be in, though, because she's already. Here's the thing. The bank shouldn't. That is like it's almost like domestic abuse.

[00:26:28] When police show up to a house, if there's a domestic dispute and say you and I are a couple and I have a gash on my face, regardless of anything, they see that they're like, Amon, sorry, you're like we're pressing charges. The police automatically are pressing charges. Why is this not the same for the financial institution? Because it's it's not the charge like the crimes are different. You know, physical abuse is, you know, obviously.

[00:26:58] The state can the state can take up that charge and the victim does not have to want to press charges. The state wants to put like you're right, like the ones the police see physical harm. Then they as mandated reporters and they have to do something about it. The financial thing is a little it's a little because there's more nuance to it. There's more gray to it. Unless the person whose money it is, is telling the police this was stolen from me. I would like to press charges.

[00:27:25] There's a lot more wiggle room for whomever it is that's doing it to sort of just and I and I because I agree with you. But I'm also like, damn, like she's already gone through all this shit with her ex-husband. She already probably feels very isolated from her family. Then to lose your son to this when, you know, this could just be a case of. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying. I'm not trying to baby baby Kevin. I'm not trying to do that. What I'm saying is this could be a case of.

[00:27:56] A young boy that has access to a lot has been very privileged, very, very spoiled and thought, you know what? Let me just take mommy's card. It'll be she got it. It'll be fine. I'll tell her about it later. Got a little bit too in over his head. It doesn't necessarily. And even when he says I read a quote, she was like, she doesn't think that her son is a bad person. She just thinks that he just was very horrible in this situation.

[00:28:20] And I think we've seen that time and time again with young people that have access to so much money and so much power and so much influence. It goes, it gets to their head a little bit. You feel like you're invincible. And I don't necessarily know if every mom would want to send their son to jail over a yacht or over $100,000 worth of Uber Eats. You know what I mean? Like, it's like. Listen. Yeah. I mean, I understand what you're saying, but I also just feel like.

[00:28:50] Yeah, that's crazy. I think I think the fact that she got put into the situation that she was in is the most egregious part. It's like, not only did you steal from me, but you made it so I had to be taken like that to me. I'm like, OK. And that's the part in the documentary where they're like, the system just seems weird. It seems as almost she is being punished when in actuality, she's the victim here every way, every which way in and out.

[00:29:20] It brings about a larger conversation and not to get all too deep about it, but it brings about a long larger conversation about how like when you put money into the bank. Like how much ownership the bank feels like it has over your money, because I don't think this is really ever from the bank's perspective. This is not about when they don't give a fuck about Wendy. They're just like, this is a very large account that we get a lot of interest on and we're able to move this money the way that we want to. And now all of a sudden this account is being drained. We don't want that to happen. So Wendy, come here.

[00:29:48] And it's like, that's weird. Like, it's my money. Why am I being locked up? And you still take interest off of her money. Yeah, you want to protect the assets. Yeah, it's crazy. But the saga continues. Nevertheless, she will hopefully have a new evaluation. Yeah, it does.

[00:30:08] But I definitely think and I remember the last time that we podcast about this, I was saying like, what are people seeing that went like there is still something going wrong with Wendy. I think this documentary gave me a better lens to not look at the Wendy that was. I imagine there was some some other stuff that was so interesting. And I want to spend so much time talking about this, but we can real quick.

[00:30:29] So another thing that Harvey led that why the judge had deemed that the ruling of her incapacitated was correct was he said that during the trial or hearing when Wendy would speak, she kept saying, you know what I'm saying? And we see that she says it a lot with Charlemagne. She says it a lot in this documentary. And that the judge felt like she wasn't speaking clearly. She couldn't understand.

[00:30:58] And she kept using the term, you know what I'm saying, to kind of fill in the blank that they didn't know what they were saying. And Harvey does it. OK, kudos to Harvey because Harvey pulled up about 80 Wendy Williams TV show clips. And if you are were a Wendy Williams show watcher like I was, you know, you know what I'm saying is a part of Wendy's vocabulary. Like she uses it all the time. Now, mind you, does she use it a lot more now? Absolutely.

[00:31:24] But again, it's something like when you know something. It changes the story, right? Like, so if you don't know a person, all they're saying is, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You're like, OK, this doesn't make sense. However, if you know a little bit more about the person, then you're like, OK, well, actually, this was in their vocabulary. They did use this. It does seem a little exacerbated, however, but it's still. It's still her. Right. It's still there.

[00:31:51] She's still she's still form forming thoughts and communicating thoughts. I just think, you know, it's just one of those things where, again, this isn't this isn't like victim blaming. It's more so it's the unfortunate reality of there is a lot of. Shit that Wendy has gotten herself into over the years. So I think in like the the matter of public opinion, the amount of leniency that you're willing to show somebody like Wendy, I feel like is very diminished already.

[00:32:20] On top of the fact that she's a black woman, she's a successful black woman. You start there first and then you just think about like the amount of grace that people are willing to give to someone who has, you know, and she was self-admittedly would say, you know, that she's harmed a lot of people with with her show. She has made life difficult at some of some of people's most difficult moments of their life. She made it worse by some of the commentary that she would have. So I feel like there's just I feel like there's like an already an image out there of who Wendy is as a person that.

[00:32:50] You know, when someone is saying like, oh, yeah, she seems to be a little bit off. You're just far more likely to just jump into that as opposed to being like, OK, well, yeah, Wendy's, you know, she's controversial. But like, let's be honest about what's going on here. Like who is spending the money? Where is the money coming from? What is the proper recourse of action? Do we need to like does she need to be locked up in this way? Why? Why can't she talk to people? I don't understand. And OK, first of all, Harvey was pulling up the facts.

[00:33:18] Saman, Harvey pulled up some of the court document. And that was another smart thing that Harvey was doing was, you know, clearly Wendy can't talk about this. And so Harvey will pull up things that are public knowledge and and he would say things. But also the judge says that Wendy should be in a least restrictive. But like she should be in a least restrictive setting where it will maximize her independence. And again, so it's like it's showing that like what is in the court order and what is happening. They ain't the math ain't mapping.

[00:33:46] Something is going on here. And it does look like the Guardian is hiding something or what like it's shady to say the least. But listen, we will keep you updated on any Wendy news. You know, here we ain't scared to do a special podcast about it. Now, let's talk about another confidence, strong black figure in our pop culture. Miss Beyonce, Giselle Knowles Carter.

[00:34:15] OK, now, the fans are reading Beyonce up. OK, the fans is confused. The fans want to know Beyonce, do you owe the IRS money? What's going on here? Because after this whole mess with Ticketmaster, where we know that Ticketmaster was trying to price gouge on the Beehive pre-sales because they tickets that are normally $300, $400 in the Beehive pre-sale, $700, $800.

[00:34:43] And the Beehive is like, oh, no, what are we going to do? We got to get these tickets. We're going to get the tickets. Then the next day, when people like me participated in the pre-sale, the Citi pre-sale and the Verizon, we're like, huh? These prices seem to be like what we expected them to be. So people are going off and people are saying like, Beyonce, we ain't got it. We ain't got it. Then this weekend, Beyonce had the nerve to drop a perfume on her Beyonce Instagram.

[00:35:13] Not you asking for more money, Beyonce. Beyonce. See, here's the thing when it comes to consumerism. And I'm, you know, I feel like I have enough media literacy to understand when people are being a little bit more hyperbolic, a little bit more sarcastic with their comments of this kind of stuff. But I'm like, every time there's a Beyonce concert and the tickets drop and there's so many people that are like, no, don't get me wrong. I could be speaking from a place of privilege where I have a little bit of a disposable income. Not a lot.

[00:35:43] I'm not a rich. I am not rich by any means. I am sure everybody else. Okay. Maybe not to the same degree, but like it's hard out here. Okay. Money is tight. But. I feel like so many people like over exaggerate. Don't get me wrong. Price gouging is a thing. But when I logged in to check out some of the seats, I was like, if you don't want to break the bank at this concert, you don't have to. There are so like, I feel like it's just those people, but people, when people say something like that online, it's like, okay, so what tickets were you going for?

[00:36:13] Because if you were going for like club hoedown and you signed up for the presale, but you showed up an hour late to the presale. Like, what did you think was going to happen? If you're trying to be in like the beehive section in the, in the honey pit, it's like, what did you think was going to happen? But if you just want to like go for like, you know, a nosebleed, you can get a ticket for like a hundred bucks. Listen on that beehive presale of mine. Cause I was in there. Them, those nosebleeds. Some of that was $1,200. It's not, it's not her.

[00:36:42] It's not ticket master. It's people getting in there, buying them and then immediately reselling them. So you, the presale. And again, presale tickets, of course, are going to be a hot commodity. And they think it's the psychology of the consumer, right? But ticket scalpers go in there thinking, okay, there's all these people that have these codes. They feel like they're going to be exclusive. So let me go in there, buy the tickets up and then set the tone because you're thinking, well, I have to buy the ticket now because I, I have to, because I'm, this is the presale. So I might as well. It was like, no bitch.

[00:37:12] These are, these are the only tickets that are available right now. If you really didn't want to break the bank, fuck the presale. Wait until the general admission and you will get a ticket that is a lot cheaper. You don't have, you don't have to, like, you have to just be aware of how people like to run these scams and make a little money for themselves. It's not ticket master. It's not, well, ticket master does have, well, they do have, yes, they do have some capability.

[00:37:37] They have to be a lot better about like these resellers, like these people that come in and buy tickets and then immediately resell them. I feel like you have to flag that kind of account because clearly they're not here to buy tickets. How can you flag that account when people are accusing ticket master of being a people going in there and buying them and reselling them? Well, yeah, that's not, that's, that's true. So I'll rescind my statement. It could be ticket master. We don't know exactly what's going on with them. I will rescind that. Why is there only one place to buy tickets? Why? Like, I'm just confused.

[00:38:06] Like, I thought, ain't this, you know, ain't this supposed to be a place where we can't have monopolies? This is a clear monopoly. But regardless. I agree. Regardless. The cowboy car, the tickets were secured. I did have to, you know, return the tickets. Now, mind you, now this is going to sell crazy of mine. I don't need you to call my mom's banking facility. But I did buy relatively expensive tickets on my mom's credit card the first Beehive Day. Okay. Wow.

[00:38:36] Wow. But I did go in. I did go into a city card, my city card pre-sale. And I was able to get them for much cheaper. And I was able to request a refund from ticket master. I did tell my mom, we can't keep these tickets. And we can resell them because they will go. But my mom said, put my money back. I said, okay. Your money's getting put back. And so I am excited. Did you secure any tickets to the cowboy car there? I did. I am not.

[00:39:03] You're not just person that just said he's not rich going skiing on a skiing club. And you got cowboy carter. And it's giving you probably a honey bucket paid. Where are your tickets? No, no, no. Where are your tickets? Renaissance was my big one. It was my first time seeing her. I wanted it to be very special. I paid Club Renaissance tickets. This time around, I was like, I'm going to be there because I'm going to be there for all three of these tours. I'm going to be there because I want to be there in the room. But I'm chilling this time. My tickets were only $189.

[00:39:32] I kind of wish that I had been a little bit cheaper than that because we could have been further back. Because I'm really like, and I love cowboy carter. I really do. But I'm like, I'm okay. I can just sit back, have a little sip of some sweet tea and just enjoy the country music. What day are you going? I'm going to MetLife on May 24th, Saturday. Okay. So there is a piece of me that was like, do I want to try Club Hoedown again?

[00:40:01] Because maybe I can, because there were people that were waiting until the day of and getting relatively cheaper tickets for stuff, even for Club Renaissance. Like somebody bought a ticket like a week before the concert, like in Philly for Club Renaissance. And it was like 500 bucks. I was like, I paid 800. Like, so I'm like, a piece of me is kind of like, so I want to chance it. But I'm like, you know what? No.

[00:40:25] Like you do know the speculation is that this tour is relatively smaller than a lot of her other tours. She's spending more time and cities. Some cities have four or five dates. And the speculation is, is that it's all going to end. And she's going to do a residency in Las Vegas.

[00:40:46] Because if you look at the Beyonce tour, it has Las Vegas at the bottom and no Las Vegas tickets have been made available. And so she might be doing a residency. We don't know. I didn't buy the perfume Beyonce, but I did secure a ticket. I will have some chats and my cheeks out come May 28th at MetLife. And yeah, that's, you know, that's Miss Beyonce.

[00:41:12] I did want to quickly talk about Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance. I thought it was. I thought it was a thought provoking performance. It is a performance that you, first of all, what people don't understand. And a lot of these Kendrick Lamar fans that are not black. They're like, oh, this is the worst performance ever. Or like, why did he do all of these songs? He didn't do his hit.

[00:41:42] I think it's important for people to know that Kendrick is taking a protest. This performance was a protest. This messaging that he is sending Uncle Sam. Being in there with Samuel L. Jackson, essentially saying, if you, you as a black person, you have to play the rules. You got to give the people what they want. You can't. But like, there was just so much symmetry. People are talking about his bell bottoms. They love the bell bottoms, but people don't even know that like he wore them because bell bottoms were made popular by black people.

[00:42:11] And people that. I am so happy about it because like I was like, yes, you got kit. Because I love bell bottoms. I don't own any because I've always too. I've been too afraid to buy them. Even even at my, you know, big age of almost 31. And like, who cares? Everybody know I'm gay. Who cares? But like, I was just always just so afraid of being judged. But now I'm like, Kendrick, the straight, straightest of the. Almost. Oh, not on Black History Month.

[00:42:39] Not on Black History Month. I was just like, yes, you better wear those bell bottoms because now everybody else is going to be like, okay, you know what I mean? It's like, yes, bring them back. Bring them back. I'm so excited. The American flag being divided. I thought the performance as a protest was great. Say Drake. I mean, he did the song. He did the song. He looked at the camera. I said, oh.

[00:43:09] So, I mean. There was so much commentary about like, oh, okay. It needs to be done now. It needs to be done. Like, he, you know, he was performing at the Super Bowl and he made it all about somebody else. I was like, first of all, no, he didn't. Like, there was one song that was about Drake. Second of all. I was just always waiting for him. Yeah. He won a Grammy for that song. Like, so it's a hit regardless of what the song is about. And he's going to perform it. Like, it's a crowd pleaser. It gets everybody hyped.

[00:43:38] Everybody was like, A minor. Like, in the crowd. So, like, why wouldn't he perform the song? And he can perform that song as much as he wants to. Like, it's his damn song. And Drake started it. So, it's just like, wake it up. Like, get over it. Serena Williams, crip walking on the Super Bowl performance wasn't on my bingo card. Listen. But listen. She was an ex of Drake's. Drake did talk about her or her husband. So, I mean, listen. It's chess, not checkers. And so.

[00:44:08] I think, yes. I think. Because she's trying to play it off as if it has nothing to do with Drake. I'm like, girl. Girl, this ain't no L.A. thing. We know you from L.A., but girl, listen. Yeah. She was like, I would have never been able to do that at Wimbledon. Girl. Well, you did crip walk. And it was horrible. And that's why. That's why. You wanted to redeem yourself, sis. You're not slick. But listen. We love you, Serena. But we're like. And again. There are a lot of people making fun of her.

[00:44:35] And I loved how a lot of people were like, well, we're not going to do on Black History Month. Is this black woman that actually looks really good and she was killing it. Like, we're not going to be making fun of how she looks in different things. And I agree with that. Because sometimes. Well, never mind. Because I was about to be a hypocrite. I do want to talk about an important subject that has recently come up. And I, you know, we don't shy away from topics.

[00:45:02] But as of February 2025, the U.S. military has resignated a ban on transgender individuals enlisting in the armed forces and has paused gender-affirming medical procedures for all active members in the service. This policy changed follows as an executive order signed by the current president in January 2025 directing a revision of the gender policies within the military.

[00:45:31] Defense secretary issued a memo implementing the ban stating that individuals with a history of gender dysphormia are prohibited from enlisting. And all related medical procedures for current service members are halted. Okay. I'm going to just say this and I'm going to just say this real quick.

[00:45:59] Transgender individuals make up 1% or less than our population. Y'all are targeting the wrong 1%. First of all, in this day and age, if you can also look at the data of the enlisting over like the last 20 years. It's on a steadily decline.

[00:46:25] Y'all shouldn't be turning away anybody that wants to enlist in our armed forces. It's just, it's like, where are we going back to? What is, it's like, you ran on this platform of hate. You ran on this platform of hate on the transgender community that has done nothing. That's minding a business. Meanwhile, there's an oligarchy happening. There is people holding press conferences.

[00:46:55] Like, it's just like, the price of eggs is $30. When are we going to get to what's important? Meanwhile, you got a photo of your mugshot hanging in the White House? Where are we? I just feel like, to all of our listeners that are not from the United States and watchers, this is not us. Please know that the majority of the American people, like, this don't make no sense.

[00:47:22] We are currently in the stain of this country. And when we look back five and ten years from now, like, we're going to be like, what the hell? But, like, this attack on the LGBTQ plus community is crazy. Like, and what does this do? What does this do for y'all? Like, I... I... I'm getting a little scared. Uh, you!

[00:47:49] I think the optimist in me wanted to believe, um... That things can't get as bad as what people believe they can. But... Just... And a piece of me also knows that, like, we're kind of familiar with Trump's game, right? Like, he likes to create headlines.

[00:48:14] He likes to do very alarmist and incendiary things to take over the news cycle so that some of the more unsavory things that he doesn't want us talking about, he can kind of just push them through. So, like, I'm familiar with... We're familiar with the game. We kind of get it. But there's something, like, weird about this one. Because this kind of ties into the other topic of, like, Google removing, you know, Black History Month from the calendar.

[00:48:44] Pride History Month from the calendar. Hispanic Heritage Month from the calendar. All this stuff. Um... And someone had, like, you know, responded to that and saying, like, oh, well, this has kind of been done in the past before. It's kind of... Because it kind of just... Google is just taking the position of they just want to remain neutral because they're... They're not neutral. They're a global calendar and therefore, you know... But I'm like, okay. But I have no problem with other holidays from other nations listed on the calendar either because I'm like, oh.

[00:49:14] To me, I'm like, oh, it's like, oh, what's that holiday? And then I look it up and I'm like, oh, that's interesting. Like, I've never felt like I'm being made to celebrate another holiday just because it's on the calendar. Like, I'm not Jewish. I don't celebrate Hanukkah. I don't have a problem with being on the calendar. Like, I'm not... I'm not of Indian descent. I don't celebrate Eid. No problem with it being on the calendar. And so all of this stuff and this transgender ban and not allowing transgender women in sports and...

[00:49:43] This is all what Trump is... He said he was going to do this and he wants to do it to appease his base so that they believe that he is doing something for them. But like you said, it is something that is so minuscule and it's a problem that has been just amplified to the nth degree for no reason. And meanwhile, other things are happening. It's getting scary, y'all. It's getting very scary.

[00:50:12] And it just is like when you think about the Holocaust and you think about Germany and like, we're like, how did this person ever come into power? Right? It's like, we're watching it. And then you have Elon Musk in the Oval Office standing next to the president answering questions. When has it... Like, why? Why? You're not an elected official. You're not. You're not.

[00:50:40] And the fact that his son was in the room too. And the son said to Trump, you're not the president. Get out the desk. Ciao. Where do you think he heard that from? Ciao. Because he didn't come up with that on his own. Ciao. Another interesting thing about said Elon Musk, you know, Nick Cannon, Future, they all have like 13 children by different baby mothers. Mm-hmm. You see how they're looked at in the media. You know, Elon Musk has 13 kids. Yep. Mm-hmm.

[00:51:10] Mm-hmm. First of all, never mind. This man has very serious issues, guys. And I think it's time that we... Because in the beginning when he was kind of just the cool guy that was sending people to Mars. It was not cool. He was not cool. And everybody was saying, like, you know, like, he's just a little weird. He might be a little bit on the spectrum. Like, let him be. The man has issues. You are the richest person on the planet. You have decided to involve yourself in the U.S. election for whatever reason.

[00:51:38] Now you're getting all these types of, like, tax cuts and breaks on the corporations that you own in this country. Now, all of a sudden, you're, like, right-hand man to the president, being, creating this task force to determine what is good for the government and what is not good for the government. And giving access, giving him access to a lot of our financial records when nobody elected this person. I do, like... It's so...

[00:52:08] It's such a weird space to be in because the piece of me that's, like, always, like, stay calm, stay calm, stay calm. Like, don't catastrophize. Because I still hear that voice in my head. But then I'll seriously, I sit here and I'm thinking about what, like, what we're looking at. And I'm like, no, this is how it happens. We get so overwhelmed with everything that we're just, like, we freeze. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is bad, guys.

[00:52:36] Like, Trump supporters, I'm actively telling you, this is bad. This is not what he tricked you into voting for. This is not what you want. I promise you that. So, we need to get this shit together. Like, now. Like, yesterday. Like, four years ago. Like, no, eight years ago when his ass showed up for the first fucking time. Like, this is bad. This is not good.

[00:53:06] At all. And people that are on the right that are saying that, you know, this is a fear-mongering tactic. No, it's not. Look at what is happening. This isn't. We're, people are simply reporting on what Trump is doing. It's not fear-mongering. It's stating what's going on. Ain't it? Ain't it? Ain't even been two months. Like, it's. Why do we feel the need to remove things from the calendar? For what reason? Who cares? Why?

[00:53:35] We're trying to erase history. Why are we renaming it Gulf of America when it's been the Gulf of Mexico for 400 plus years? Why? And why is he banning AP from being at White House briefings because they won't acknowledge it as the Gulf of America when it's not been called that for 400 years?

[00:53:52] Since when is it okay for the president to say this particular news organization cannot come to the White House to get this respected global news organization that is considered to be one of the most unbiased out of all of them is now not allowed to come to the White House because they won't call it the Gulf of America. But four years ago, you guys were saying, oh, you know, you're forcing us to say cis and trans and all this. This is very imperialistic use on language.

[00:54:23] But he's doing the same thing. And like, where are all of y'all that were saying no? No, AP should be allowed to be here because why? And first of all, they didn't they didn't not call it the Gulf of America. They reported on what was going on. They said President Trump wants to wants everyone to call it the Gulf of America. What was formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico. That is what happened. So them reporting on that all of a sudden is them not ascribing to the situation.

[00:54:48] And they shouldn't have to because there are other countries that don't call the Gulf of America the Gulf of Mexico. They might not even call it the Gulf of Mexico. They might have their own word for it because we all are from different places of the world and say things differently. So why do I have to call it the Gulf of America? Because you want me to. Like, and then, oh, my God. And I watched The View. I'm so sorry, Bryce. I watched The View every fucking day. And Alyssa Farrah Griffin, the new conservative host on The View. Like, you know, I appreciate her a lot of the time.

[00:55:15] I kind of, you know, the real tea is that Meghan McCain should have never left because she was the only one that really she she was annoying as hell. But she at least would like come here and like be stalwart in her opinions about what was going on on her side of the side of the lane. But I'm like, OK, so you, Alyssa, you're sitting here trying to come up with reasons as to why this makes more sense. Like, oh, well, you think about it. The Gulf of America actually makes more sense because it is sort of like of North American land. It's in the continent of America. So it makes more sense to call it the Gulf of America as opposed. No, it doesn't.

[00:55:43] You are sitting here trying to legitimize and logic your way through this when you can easily just say this is authoritarian behavior. It's ridiculous. Yeah. Don't disagree with you there. It's like we always talk about this communism. We always talk about all the control that China has over their people, baby. It's giving.

[00:56:13] It's giving. We it's giving. If you are watching on YouTube, I'm about to put an image up. It's giving. America is Wendy Williams in this photo. Like it's giving. Yeah. It's like you said, it's very scary times. And. Because you have to think what else what else is he willing to take away? What else is he willing to by the stroke of a pen? And again, I understand that executive orders are not law. I understand.

[00:56:42] So I don't want anybody to, you know, to comment on this podcast and say, oh, I'm on. You're doing a little bit too much just because he's on. I understand how the executive order works. I understand that things can be contested by judges. We've already seen it happen like three times. They'll just keep blocking some of his shit. I understand that. But the fact that he is. This is the narrative. This is what he is putting out there into the ether for people to have an opinion on or not have an opinion on. This. This. That is the problem. That is the. When we're talking about the Gulf of America versus the Gulf of Mexico and not what else is going on.

[00:57:10] We're talking about removing holidays from calendars. When all of this stuff is getting spun up out of nowhere, when we never had issues like this before. That is the problem. You have to understand. You have to ask yourself, why is he doing this? Because who does it ultimately serve? Okay. And who? When people are logging on to national security briefings with Gmail accounts. When top security officials are having their securities, their security clearings stripped of them. Right.

[00:57:39] When the New York, when the New York attorney general is not allowed to go to a certain can't go into certain government buildings now because Trump is mad because she's been pursuing a case against him in the state of New York. That is authoritarian behavior, people. That's not. And you're like, oh, well, no one's above the law. He doesn't get to make the laws with an executive order. That's not how that works. Right. That's not how that works. Or him firing the people that protect our nuclear ammunition and then realizing that he fired them and then trying to hire them back now.

[00:58:08] It's like, what is going on in our country? Like this, it is, it's a very crazy time. Amon, it's very scary. And I think that it's important that we speak out. And not only that we speak out, but like there needs to be something. Because at this point, this is different from left wing, right wing. Like this is like, we are watching a horror movie and we are in it. We're the main people in it.

[00:58:38] It is really scary. And again, we here on Casualty, we talk about it all. And so we're going to talk about these topics. We can agree to disagree. We don't have to disagree. But like, it's like, y'all have to see that like, what is taking place here is not normal. It is, it's scary. We have, it's like, have you, have you seen that? It's the song on TikTok. It's like this black guy was singing.

[00:59:05] We're living in a hostile government takeover. We got like, it's like literally that song keeps playing in my head. Like we are witnessing a hostile government takeover in front of our eyes. And they are pulling the wall. Like they control our social media. You saw all of those people sitting at his inauguration. All of the tech people, Google, Amazon, Tesla, like all of these people, they control what we see. It's scary.

[00:59:31] I don't want to harp too much on it because it's just, yeah. Any final words? Yeah, it's just, yeah. I don't know, y'all. This one doesn't feel good. This one doesn't. The first time was crazy. And it was, you know, he did a lot of this. He did a lot of similar things as to what he's doing now.

[00:59:55] But when I think back about his first presidency, you know, there was so much, there was so much resistance because people were just so like, what is going on? And there was still, there was more Republican resistance as well because the Republican Party still wasn't, they weren't ready to fully give up their party to this newcomer that was just telling, just calling the shots. And then COVID happened, which really took the center stage. And so I feel like there was a lot that had to happen with that, that like he did not get to do all the stuff that he wanted to do.

[01:00:24] But now this time where he has, you know, appointed all these judges that he wants. And it's just like he's pushing the boundaries. He's trying to test to see how far he can go with some of these executive orders. And that to me, guys, that is a red flag. When someone, a president feels the need to.

[01:00:46] To really test the limits of his power and not respect the 400 years of precedence of checks and balances and all that, you really have to think about, is this really the person that you want in control? Because I promise you, it's not. This is not what you want. There are places in the world where it is a shit show. It is a true shit show.

[01:01:16] The government sucks. It's oppressive. There's either a government that's extremely oppressive or there's no government. You know who runs the country? Cartels, gangs, violence. That's, and I think that because we're so privileged to have lived in this country for so long and not even just us, but our ancestors are, you know, and not, no, you know what I'm trying to say. I just think that there is, we have like this locus of control and power that has lulled us into this sense of security where we're like, we'll never be one of those countries. Says who?

[01:01:46] Baby. We saw, like I said before, we saw when Texas, their power went out. Like, we saw what happened in Puerto Rico when they, like, let our power system go down for a week. Baby. Baby. It's over. It's over. It's, listen, it's a lot going on, but. I'm sure this will be. I don't want to end on a negative note. I know. Well, listen, I'm sure this topic will be a trending theme on the casualty as years to come and we were always going to speak about it.

[01:02:13] But on a positive note, it still is the Bryce Birthday Bash week. And if you made it this far in the podcast, please make sure you subscribe to the Purple Pants podcast.
