Hello Rod’s beard, Karen’s laugh and Justin. Just want to say thank you to Rod for talking about Hannah so much on the twitters. I had written off watching the show when it first came out because I read a review that said it wasn’t worth watching… WRONG!!! After seeing Rod tweet about it, I decided to give it a go and it’s such a good show. Lesson learnt, always watch something for yourself first. Either way love the show and keep up the good work.
Hey Karen, Rod, and Jado,
I don’t watch Marriage Bootcamp but watching Vado attack Tahiry out of nowhere and none of them black men moved an inch to stop him except the host of the show. Wtf is really going on black men? Like seriously. Wtf. And I do not expect Joe Budden who was with her for over 5 years to say a thing about it either. I’m hoping he surprises me but I’m not holding my breath. People still questioning what Megan must have done to be shot in both feet. I’m at my wits end with a particular demographic and framework of black male.
I feel like it’s an unpopular opinion but I do not like Jennifer Holiday’s singing. I recorded the John Lewis memorial service because I had a web meeting to present in and wanted to see Pres Obama. I just couldn’t do it. Maybe somebody hollering and contorting their face for 8 min is comforting to the family. The camera pans seemed to show people appreciating it but what do I know. It gave me anxiety to watch. Dragged the songs out so bad that right when I thought she was done she dove right into another verse. I almost threw the remote.
President Barack Obama is the greatest orator I’ve ever seen. Every eulogy gets better. Every speech gets better. Bill Clinton tried to do his best but no one is a match for the feeling that comes over a crowd when Pres Obama starts telling your life story. RIP to Rep John Robert Lewis. I hope he declines each and every request to give a eulogy or speech at a Republican lawmakers funeral. I can’t see him getting up on a podium to throw flowery language at Tim Scott or any of them other coons. Have Trump do it. That’ll be a riot. Cause he don’t give a Fukk and will turn your home going service into a lock her up rally. And is it me or is Trump getting bigger and bigger and sweatier and sweatier in all them golfing photos. Yuck. Fukk him and Fukk them. Oh and Fukk golf. Back to Obama: he essentially was proposing fire ass voting rights policy in that eulogy. All Biden needs to do it throw it into his platform.

Went back into work yesterday to grab something from my office after we shut down in March. Somehow my snake plant and aloe plant are still alive. That was my biggest worry and they’re still kicking. So I would recommend the snake plant if you’re looking for a succulents that are hard to kill.
Be safe and sound niggas,

Love the PG show it is the highlight to my week.
I listened to the Podcast Running from Cops. (The guy who did the podcast did one about Richard Simmons and how he is MIA now. Very interesting.) The podcast answered some questions that I always had. I remember watching a special about Cops years ago and they said people are Excited to be on Cops. I was always like that’s odd. I remember years ago they started filiming cops in the city I grew up in and someone from my high school was on there. People kept posting the clip on Facebook, the person ended up deleting their social media because people were making fun of him. I stopped watching cops after that. It just didn’t feel right to me.
Lastly, people who want to return to work in an office are crazy. I live in Phoenix and my companys main office is in Boston. I am the only one on my team outside of Boston. I was hired after COVID started. My boss did mention in the interview there is a Phoenix office but if/when COVID is under control going in the office is optional. My role is remote. Well since the state of Arizona opened up our company told the people who work in the Phoenix office they are not required to go back in the office they can stay home. But there were a group of people who insisted they wanted to be back in the office to have some “normalcy†to their lives, they missed office banter, and missed their cubicles. Well about 2-3 weeks after this group of people went back to the office they had to shut it down. Two people had COVID and exposed those employees. One of the people ended up in the hospital. There are a group of people in Boston who wanting to go back into the building to work once its possible. They believe the Phoenix office COVID outbreak is a isolated incident. So my boss who has sense basically said that anyone on her team is BANNED from returning to the office. She is like your health is more important then hanging out in cubicles.
Thank you for providing excellent content!

Greetings rod, Karen, and Justin
Hope all is well! To start, Rod, I have partook in some cold fried chicken. One of the recent things I have learned from y’all, via pregame, is to check on your friends and loved ones. You just never know what someone is going through! Many of us are good at masking hurt, pain, stress, depression, among other things! So it’s always good to hear you guys ask each other , how you guys week is going or went!
This week I wanted y’all opinion on something
I’ve been seeing a lot more State Farm commercials with the “black jakeâ€. i find the black jake ads to be some what boring. Have you guys seen the latest one when the pizza delivery person give pizza to the black jake? I’m sorry , I enjoyed the White jake commercials much better, but that’s just me.
With that being said, who, in y’all opinion makes the best car insurance commercials? I’ve always like Geico.
You guys have a great weekend, stay safe and blessed until next time
Fyahworks out…….
Rod, Justin and Karen,
Once upon a time, back when ya girl was in those streets, I made a lot of risky decisions that luckily left me unharmed and with great dinner party stories. Here’s the Jerry Rice run in.
I was out with my lil friends being fine, and me and one of my girls ended up chatting with two gentlemen. They were nice enough asked if we wanted to go with them to another location. (Never let them take you to another location.) Obviously, the two of us left the rest of the group and went. Plus, we were with a co-ed group and whatever.
We pull up to the second location and we wait in the car. Weird. Next thing I know, the driver (because yeah, they had a limo), opens the door and we are whisked inside and shuffled past everyone directly inside. Throughout our time there, they were perfectly nice. But then we noticed people kept coming up to one of them. Listening in, they kept saying his whole name. We knew his name was Jerry. They were calling him Jerry Rice. Mind you, we were super dumb and I blame my girl cus her daddy was a NFL player and she didn’t even realize who this Jerry person was!
I scoot to the bathroom and call my younger brother to get the scoop. (This was before we all had the internet on our phones.) He told me who dude was.
The night wraps up and they take us to our respective homes in the burbs and drop us both off. They didn’t try anything. We did get an autographs though cus why not.
The End
Cheers
Ms. Smart
