Girl.

I've just about had it.

I'm Saeed Jones, and I'm Black.

And I'm Sex Effort, and I've been Black, and you're listening to Vibe Check.

Okay, so today we are talking about the second great performance actor Timothy Shalame gave Hollywood this year.

No, we're not talking about the A24 film Marty Supreme.

We're talking about his social performance as a wicker.

And then inspired by Timothy's antics, and that's us being diplomatic, I think.

We're going to talk about other ways white people and white culture love to mimic black folks. Because as the late comedian Paul Mooney famously said, everybody want to be a nigger, but nobody want to be a nigger.

Preach.

And it's also just so perfect because we're beginning Black History Month, and this may very well be our last Black History Month under the Trump regime.

So we're here to remind you that once you take our culture and adapt it to whatever white cuckacity, people want to make it, we want to remind you that we've always been black and we're going to say black, even if you won't recognize that blackness. And Timmy-Shallamee, I think why we're having this conversation is he's very aware of what he's doing and he knows better. So we're here just to say it allowed his team, by the way. It's a group project. Yeah. Well, before we get into all that, sister, let's check in, what's your vibe? Oh, my vibes are good. You know, I'm realizing this Black History Month, I'm seeing you multiple times, which is exciting. You know, we just said Boston, which we always love being in Boston together. You're the only reason why I really come to Boston these days, period. And then later this month, we'll be together in New York City for on-air festival. So I'm just glad that my Black History Month is already stacking up to be a month in which I see people I actually want to see in public. So that's how I'm feeling great. And I'm also just grateful that as I made that comment about Black History Month being over, that we have the show or we can be whatever we need to be in any moment. It's a true joy knowing that now twice a week, I know I'm going to get to sit down and talk with you. It centers me, it calms me, it gives me something to look forward to. Same. Yeah. Love, blah, blah. Well, how are you? Girl, you know, I'm sick of this weather. I'll tell you that. I realized that Boston's weather last year was very mild. It did snow. It was cold. Of course, it get dark. But this winter is on some next

level shit. And I know a lot of people, obviously, there was that huge, huge storm system that

hit seemingly half of the whole country in like late January. But I just, even I, you know, me,

I'm a weenie. But what I've learned is that people who've been living in Massachusetts for a very long time are shook.

They're like, it hasn't been like this for a while.

So, hang in there, everybody, because it's wild.

This is not for the week.

And what's really wild about what you're going through is that when you get teased with like a 50-degree day, you get a moment of relief, but that's only a warning that something really cold is coming. Because that's just like the front. Yeah, what I've learned from the Weather Channel, that's usually a sign that things are about to get really bad. So it's the calm before the story. I'll just say this, Zach, we can move on, but I have two heated blankets. That's why I'm going to. You're going to be warm one way or the other. All right. Well, before we jump into this episode, we as always want to thank all of you who continue to listen to this show. So don't forget, you can email us
