Okay!

So stop believing in the lies, honey! You know, I'm gonna kick it to your straight. I'm gonna just tell you like it is. Okay?

You know, each week I do my best, my very best, to hand over something to our listening audience, and even the three of us, myself including, because I'm talking to the man in the mirror.

Okay? Something that we can walk away with and use to advance us in just being good people in general. And I usually look to unlikely scholars, you know, the underdogs of wisdom, you know, lesser known lorets, you know what I'm saying?

And for these gyms, and this week we are going to visit none other than the reality TV legend and actually archived historian. Okay?

Okay? Actually has something in a in the Smithsonian Museum of African American History. You have to speak about it as if you're bougie. So the next person we're going to mention actually is archived in the National African American Museum of History via the Smithsonian.

And it's not other, I'm dead serious. She has a, she has a picture. She has a picture from the season four, the person we're talking about first of all is Nini Leaks.

None other than Lanetia Nini Leaks. And that's who the soundbite who just heard his friend, but more than in the mid Chun Leaks. Okay? It's the ghetto bitch the ghetto, who the ghetto child again, to shout out to that tweet. I saw that said that, which was hilarious. But, um,

that's really what's in there. I'm not playing what you look. This is not a show in the picture of what's in the National Museum of African American History referencing Nini Leaks. Do you see how she looks? Yeah, it's a picture screen grab of her at the season four reunion.

Um, specifically when she was talking to Sheree, telling her about when it becomes Shatoshirai. That's when I call it Shatoshirai until then it's never land. That's what that picture is from. What is the exhibit of exactly?

Would you like to read what it says? A Sunday, please gestures of this missile. I don't have time for this words aren't always necessary to communicate that someone or something is unworthy of serious consideration gestures of this missile are clear and easy to understand.

They can telegraph contempt condemnation, disapproval and annoyance with a picture of none other than Nini Leaks next to it.

Just a dismissal. That's right. So now that we have validated her cone receipts.

I would like to come on back to the clip. You know, and talk about what we're going to take from this. Now, Nini said once again, let's play it just for reference so that you guys can see it.

You guys really feel you need to keep it. So stop believing the lies.

That's what she opened to it. And what I found most gratifying and most enriching about that was her choice of tone.

It wasn't condemning or a judgment or a kind of sending, you know, command stop believing the lies, which we get so much we'll get bombarded with that in this fake news media, right?

But this was more of a gentle with love and just telling you a gentle sweet warning.

You know, she's been on Broadway and Cinderella. There's something very Disney-esque about her friendly tone and that sound bite. And she said, you know, stop believing the lies, honey.
