Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Do We Know Them, Episode 327? Are you ready to giggle today, Lil Birch?

I suppose so. You guys, I asked her last night, it was like, should I look into this as well?

Or, because I've somehow avoided the Afro-Man trial.

Oh, my God. I don't know how, honestly. And she said absolutely not, don't watch anything because we want my reactions. I had to clarify multiple times. I was like, this is the same Afro-Man that sings because I got high, right? Yes. And I'm like, that's the one, the one and only they say then I, like, thought about, I guess, did he ever have any other hit songs?

Girl, you know what?

I haven't kept up with that for him. I'm not going to lie. That is the one and only song I know. And it seems like he's living like a humble life. I don't think he's, like, toured and done a bunch of crazy shit recently, you know? It was just weird to hear his name because it's like that song I obviously connect with a lot personally.

Right, right.

Yeah, no, I feel like in college we used to sing it constantly. It was just weird to hear his name because it's like that song I obviously connect with a lot personally.

Right, right. Yeah, no, I feel like in college we used to sing it constantly. Oh my God, no, it was huge. It was like the song. I don't know anybody that doesn't know that song. Yeah. Well, first do we want to just, sorry, before we say anything about Aframan, do we want to discuss why this is a one topic episode? this was going to be a two-topic episode.

It was.

We were considering covering the franchise. Do we want to discuss why this is a one topic episode? This was going to be a two-topic episode.

It was. We were considering covering the Frankie Taylor. Yeah, that's her name.

Taylor Frankie Paul. Yeah, I do fuck that up. Yeah, the two first names is hard.

Taylor Frankie Paul, who was going to be the next Bachelorette. It already was supposed to have premiered by now, but they pulled it three days before because there was a video of her that was released from

2003 from an incident that we already knew about, but full disclosure, Jesse and I don't watch

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Is that even what it's called? No. And I love reality TV, but that's just one I couldn't get into.

Yeah, so we're not very well versed on her relationship with Dakota, who is the ex that she's like, basically the video shows her assaulting him.

Yeah, it's really bad. It also depicts her daughter being hit on the head with a chair that she threw. And here's the thing. We did actually cover this situation or the information we had on that situation when it happened. It was body cam footage at the time of the officers that were on the scene. And we did talk about how absolutely fucked up this was. Like we were, I mean, it was just awful. It's an awful situation

all around. And we did actually prep the topic. Like this doc has both topics on it. But as Lily and I were looking into, mainly the internet's response, it just got too convoluted. It was too many opinions. And it's not that we like to like shift our opinions based on other people's opinions. it's more so that like we just felt like do we need to just like sit with this and like research a little more? Like what's going on? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills and like not everybody thinks this is just objectively wrong. And it was just it was a lot. Yeah. And we wouldn't be able to show the clip. Nor would we want to. Because it's like very, very disturbing. It's triggering for sure. Yeah. So overall, we just decided the Afro-Man one we were really looking forward to. It's going to be nice, more light-hearted. And that would take a big fat dump on Afro-Man, you know, like a huge one. And he doesn't deserve that after what he's been through. So basically, we felt like we didn't necessarily have the most to

contribute to the conversation. We don't feel like we have a full grasp on it. So we're just going to

focus. And I also feel like you need to watch the show. Like that's what I'm gathering. You need to

watch the show to understand why so many people hate Dakota because I know nothing about the man.
