Lady D:
yo I lost the AirPods, man. Oh no, it was like my biggest fear ever that I was gonna lose one of them and like only have one AirPods, and like that.
Erin Boogie:
That's why I don't, like I can't get down with the AirPods, because I just know that's gonna happen.
Lady D:
And they're mad expensive bro.
Erin Boogie:
Yeah, and they don't just sell one, right.
Lady D:
You know, I didn't look that up.
Lady D:
I feel like they gotta be together. You know like to like connect.
Erin Boogie:
Yeah.
Lady D:
Can we talk about this girl, bobby, that interviews the people? I'm not. Why are we calling it an interview? I honestly I thought she was just hanging out with them, like I thought it was just videos of her hanging out with people.
Erin Boogie:
Let me tell you so. She started out on TikTok as a mommy vlogger because she's young, she's married and she has two kids, so she started. That's how she started out. And then, all of a sudden, she wiped her social media and decided that she was gonna interview celebrities awkwardly and she put a post out on social media and was like I have $300 that if anybody could link me to a celebrity and like that's how it started. And then she like it was like somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody who knew Drake, type of thing.
Lady D:
Like some famous guy is her neighbor.
Erin Boogie:
Yeah, no she's not like and the neighbor yeah, and the neighbor.
Lady D:
she told him that she wanted to like start podcast or something, and like he hooked her up with the first interview.
Erin Boogie:
Which was funny, margot, yeah, yeah.
Lady D:
But like no, she definitely got that alley you. But I'm just very confused why we're calling it interviews. Does she actually have conversations or ask them questions that make sense? Because these are her hanging out with them and being awkward is not an interview.
Erin Boogie:
So the thing is, why people are so divided on it is because it's not an interview, but she's also not hanging out with them. It's like her brand of comedy is like is like awkward, like I'm sort of offending you, like fake offending you, and stuff. And it's like people are also wondering why, like all these hip hop artists are sitting with this chick. Like for what reason? Like you could go to hip hop journalists, you could go to Math Alpha, you could go to Noriega, you could go to Elliott Wilson, you could go to you know what I mean? There's like you could go to Shirley, you could go to Jim Aswad. Like there's so many like legitimate journalists that you could go on their show or go get interviewed by them and be in a publication, like. So like why this chick?
Lady D:
Dan, like maybe people think it's funny.
Erin Boogie:
I'm just, it was, it was funny to me until people were calling it that until people were calling it an interview and I'm like this is not it.
Lady D:
I just thought they were funny, Like they were supposed to be funny videos.
Erin Boogie:
Like if that's why we call it journalism, like people aren't like amused by it anymore. You know what I mean.
Lady D:
Yeah, I mean, I think it's weird. I honestly think it's weird.
Lady D:
I liked when people, when people clap back at her like when people tell her off, like that's like what I wait for In the clips. When I see them on Twitter, I don't follow her or anything like that, but it ends up on my timeline. It shocked me today because I started seeing all these like think pieces about it and there's, there's black people that could be in these spaces and I'm like okay, but she's not interviewing them. I don't see any interview, but I haven't watched a whole, you know video on her page. So I mean, if you're she just making goofy videos, so you know.
Erin Boogie:
It's just making people uncomfortable, like that's what it is. And then like like the reason why it's like not funny anymore is because it's not funny. You know what I mean. Like what she does isn't funny. People don't find it funny, I think it's not.
Lady D:
Yeah, I mean, I don't particularly think it's funny and I don't think that I mean now it's like annoying because people are calling it interviews, like that is what's blown my mind, like why are we calling it that? Like why are we even? It's not that aspect to it.
Erin Boogie:
Her name shouldn't be in the same conversation with journalists.
Lady D:
That's what I'm saying. Like, why is really that's like you don't say that about like Kai? You know what I mean. Like he often went there and hung out with the kid. You know what I'm saying. That's not an interview, right? Like, if you ask somebody a question, that's not an interview. Do you like ice cream? That's an interview. Now, like I don't understand what is that.
Erin Boogie:
I was thinking about this the other day because we're like part of that too. Is that like now, anybody because I was thinking about like the people like that I know that have started podcasts and stuff, and it's like anybody with a microphone that you can plug into a computer and press record on it is an interviewer now and everybody has a show and a podcast and a platform and a and a show and a opinion, and it's like that's not always the right thing either. Yeah, and then they just spew out stuff.
Lady D:
So the nerd at the cool table guy sometimes we correspond on Twitter, so he was like we have to respect Bobby's craft and I'm like what Craft? Like I'm not, I'm not understanding what we have to respect. So I was like I don't, I don't really have to do anything, but um. And he was like I'm a hater for it, I'm just not moved, I'm not anything about it, I'm just not moved by it and like like is this also something?
Erin Boogie:
like you know she, like I said, she started out as, like a mommy blogger. So, like she wasn't, this wasn't her lane. So what made you wipe your social media and decide I'm going to interview hip hop artists that I know nothing about? That's not my, I don't put that genre of music, I'm not in that culture, I don't know anything about it, but I'm going to just give it a go and see where it goes, yeah.
Lady D:
Like and like I said, you were hooked up with the interview. It's not like you were just out there and then you know we're discovered and came up out the mud and all this other like what. I'm just trying to figure out. What about this?
Erin Boogie:
I'm supposed to respect. Well, and that's where, like, I don't think there's anything to respect about it, and I think that's why people are having a hard time digesting it. Instead of consuming it frivolously and letting it die out, people are like offended by it because it's offensive. You know what I mean. It's offensive. If offensive is going to pay your bills, cool, but like I'm wondering how long it's going to last for her with the amount of backlash that she's receiving, because not everything on the internet is good either. Did you see that anorexic chick that's on TikTok that she's like huge on TikTok?
Lady D:
Yeah, that was just a certain yeah, I'm like, oh, why are we supporting this? Like there's just things like Well, that's what I said to nerdy the cool table. That's exactly what I said. I was like you know anybody, people go viral and stuff all the time. The girl been around since 2021. She just started doing this other thing. If you ask me if I'm impressed or respect her and all this other her craft what craft? Yeah, I got to respect her craft. What craft? Chow come. If you ask me in five years if I feel whatever, whatever about Bobby that you know time has gone by. She's either still here or not, or has done something else.
Erin Boogie:
We're beginning to remember her name. I'm saying.
Lady D:
then you ask me if I respect her in the craft and the journey she just got here. What am I respecting? Yeah, people is just too easily amazed. It's not even like you can like something you know you could be interested in it, you can want to see you know, but come on.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, no, I'm not.
Erin Boogie:
I'm not by her, her particular brand of social media, much like the rest of the world, apparently.
Lady D:
He was like um, your people reached out to my people, yeah offset.
Erin Boogie:
Okay, first of all, I thought offset was quiet because we rarely hear from him and he's been on a good press run lately and it's bringing out his personality and he's hilarious. Show your personality more Now I would watch offset interviewing people or hanging out with people you know. I would watch that, or like an offset and Cardi B reality show. Sign me up, I'll go pop the popcorn like I'm ready. Holy for it.
Lady D:
And like that stuff. I respect they came up out the money and now if he started storming like the carisha, please, girl, whatever else, she came about the money to start doing something else. And then when? And then the interviews, I guess were actually good. I haven't watched those either, but you know, people seem to enjoy them.
Erin Boogie:
The only thing is what her is that she started getting accolades too fast because Diddy put her on like she started dating Diddy and he gave her a show. So I mean, she worked hard to get where she is as a city girl but she kind of fell into P Diddy's lap and ended up on revolt. So it's like yeah, that wasn't.
Lady D:
Yeah, I have a hard time with that when she starts getting all these like accolades was weird, but like her doing it was like OK, cool, that's cool that you did it. Yeah, yeah, the accolades was really weird, like her being listed as like a top hip hop journalist was like insane.
Speaker 1:
I was like no.
Lady D:
Yeah.
Erin Boogie:
So shout out to Nori and DJ EFN, who kind of really I mean, there was other hip hop outlets out there before before they put drink champs out. So I'm not going to say that they were the first, because they definitely weren't the first in that space, but they were the the first and biggest rappers turn interviewers to really develop a strong platform. So, yeah, a lot of these other outlets now that have sprung up, they're dope, but you got to give the give the flowers to drink champs.
Erin Boogie:
Yeah drink, champs, walk, so they could run.
Lady D:
Oh my God, did you see the people on Facebook complain about Hot 97? Why do we keep hearing the same four songs?
Erin Boogie:
Oh yeah.
Lady D:
Oh, it's like a bunch of people over the past couple of days. I keep seeing it and I'm like, oh, that's hilarious.
Erin Boogie:
Well, because it's commercial radio and that's how that works.
Lady D:
So I just shared it and I was like listen to in the field radio instead.
Erin Boogie:
Yeah, noncommercial radio. We can do what we want when we want.
Lady D:
Weirdos.
Erin Boogie:
You're only going to hear a song once in our rotation, per song, per show.
Lady D:
Yeah, people are saying like, in like an hour they heard something like four times. Like, is that for real?
Erin Boogie:
I would have to listen to Hot 97 to see if that was actually a thing. But it wouldn't surprise me because they probably play it, because think about it as a casual listener you're probably just tuning in for like a short amount of time and then tuning out, tuning back in and that sort of thing. So I could see them playing something at like, say, like you know, every 15 minutes type of thing, like the quarter hours. Yeah the same rotation, yeah, like a number one song or something like that.
Lady D:
Yeah, Well, sucks to suck.
Erin Boogie:
WBKR is heard, has a stronger bandwidth than Hot 97 and is heard in up to five states. So shout out to WBKR for being better than Hot 97 in a lot. Yeah, radio Wars, radio Wars, like, is that a thing? Is radio? I feel like a radio is not a thing enough where that would be impactful to the culture. Like we're out here moving needles. Yo, what else happened this week? Well, I feel like we haven't recorded in a long time.
Lady D:
Right, because people was getting interviewed.
Erin Boogie:
I know we had a moratorium on interviews so we could speak to the people. People need to hear us so often.
Lady D:
Right, I said Taylor Swift is in New York, oh my God, mm-hmm.
Erin Boogie:
It feels like it just screams PR stunt to me. Could you imagine?
Lady D:
just somehow.
Erin Boogie:
They lose to the jet, oh my God. And Taylor Swift is in the audience. I hope they do. The Jets are my team.
Lady D:
I know Like come on and we're at home.
Erin Boogie:
We got Jets tickets to go see them out in Las Vegas.
Lady D:
When Next month? Oh my God, that's so exciting.
Erin Boogie:
I know, and they're dumb close. They're close too, yeah, like we might be on TV close, ooh, yeah. Well, the tickets was like. It was like $100 more to sit in the nosebleed seats or $100 less, I mean to sit in the nosebleed seats, and I was like we should just pony up that $100.
Lady D:
That's what I do. Right like if you're gonna go.
Erin Boogie:
Yeah, that's how I felt, and this is kind of a once in a lifetime type thing. I don't think I'll be out there for another football game anytime, soon at least, so I might as well sit real close behind the end zone.
Lady D:
Absolutely, Yo. I was at a casino last night and won hundreds of dollars off of like a side bed playing Blackjack.
Speaker 1:
Yay.
Lady D:
It was very cool. I broke even against the dealer Like we both had 20, so like nothing happened there. But I put it was a $25 buy-in, so I'd put $25 to buy in. I put $25 on the circle bed and got two face cards and I was like I was like screaming.
Lady D:
I was, people were looking at me and then I was like alright, see you later. I'm going home and the guy's like wait, you don't want to buy? And I just give him a $5 bill to like tip him. He's like thanks, have a good night.
Speaker 1:
He's not trying to convince me to play.
Erin Boogie:
That's what he really wanted. Yeah, Yo, honestly dating nowadays more power to you people. You guys are strong, because I wouldn't last two seconds.
Lady D:
I hate it, I just don't want to anymore. And if it's not something like that, the person's already married or with somebody, or there's just nothing out here. I know it's sad times. Should we do like lady D in like February? Oh my.
Erin Boogie:
God yes.
Lady D:
This might be a reality. I mean, I was thinking about this, remember, we've been thinking about this, but we're both like with people. So, now I'm not, so maybe we should, maybe we should just do yes. That would be cute Okay.
Erin Boogie:
Well, edit this out so no one takes it. Yeah, I don't. I don't want to broadcast any ideas I don't want. People are about to hear a blank space. I'm with lady D in February.
Lady D:
I am going to do that.
Erin Boogie:
That's not without like a curse word All right, I can watch the jet game.
Lady D:
Maybe I'll go to a sports bar and meet some nice guy. Right, nice guys Watch the jets.
Erin Boogie:
This is why I want you to start a column about your dating. You could be like sex in the city, but in 2023, where it's like sex and is in shambles.
Lady D:
Sex
Erin Boogie:
That sounds like a flaming dumpster. No offense to Albany, but what a terrible city.
Lady D:
I love Albany it's really cute. Now, someone said that I came during like a time of gentrification, so I just have no idea how terrible it is. I was like really?
Erin Boogie:
You're part of the gentrification. Yeah Yo, when I was young I used to be so against gentrification and now, as a homeowner, I'm like I don't see what the problem is with raising property value Seriously. But when I was young and I couldn't afford to live here, I was like a super anti gentrification because I was the one being gentrified out. I shouldn't laugh about that. People are probably going to be like she's a terrible person.
Lady D:
This is a good idea. I mean, I haven't done anything personally to gentrify.
Erin Boogie:
So me either. Actually, I got taken advantage of by the real estate market Thanks to all the city people moving up here in general.
Lady D:
Yeah, Like once you have the home. Now you're like, oh, I don't care.
Erin Boogie:
Yeah, I'm like can we get some high end stores over here with a million dollars? For no apparent reason.
Speaker 1:
It's going to be like Westchester soon.
Erin Boogie:
That's where my mom said something about moving closer to Westchester and I was like I can't afford that.
Lady D:
So this is Westchester, it's baby Westchester.
Erin Boogie:
Yeah, this is what Westchester was 20 years ago.
Lady D:
Right.
Erin Boogie:
Now, westchester is a little Manhattan, that's what I was saying.
Lady D:
Now people are going to be. People are starting to look over here at Albany and Saratoga and stuff. I'm like don't look over here, there's nothing to see over here.
Erin Boogie:
They're all coming North Kid Yo please do not.
Lady D:
But I was thinking, I was thinking about maybe I can keep this apartment and just still have a condo there, like if I get a tiny, tiny, tiny little studio, one that I own, and so what? That I live here in the city, I just pay right here and I own that?
Erin Boogie:
Oh, you could have paid me more jobs.
Lady D:
Yeah, well, I did just get a good job, but I'm just saying people pay that much for one apartment. If you think about it Like if I get something really cheap in my mortgage is like a grand People pay that A factor in taxes too. I don't want to pay taxes.
Erin Boogie:
That's not how that works. Then they put a lien on your house and then you can't sell it or do anything.
Lady D:
They'll take it, they're having a foreclosure auction in Albany at the end of the month.
Erin Boogie:
Those who just have to be careful with the damage, because people, when they get foreclosed on, destroy those properties.
Lady D:
What happens when you do that? Do you get in trouble? Nothing. What do you mean If the bank floor closed on the house, then the bank owns the house, right? If you destroy it, aren't you going to get?
Erin Boogie:
in trouble. No, the trouble that you get in is when you lose your house and they evict you because the sheriffs come and they'll throw all your stuff on the curb and then you have bad credit for life. That's seven years at least However long it stays on your credit. Yeah, that's.
Lady D:
Hopefully. I don't know, I want to go check it out. I mean, maybe there's some rental properties or like two families that are right now and then they can live in a damaged house. Oh my lord, I'll be a slumlord.
Erin Boogie:
She's just going to say devs aspiring to be a slumlord. Oh so funny.
Lady D:
Yo.
Erin Boogie:
Hilarious, being a homeowner is not for the week.
Lady D:
You know, being singles now for the week, being alive is not for the week.
Erin Boogie:
No, can I tell you that? So this is gonna sound hilarious. Yesterday I hit my friend up and I was like we should sue our parents because, adequately, prepare us for how awful being an adult is. I feel violated For real. This isn't fair. I told my mama that one time that I was gonna do that and she was like mad, I know, but I was like I didn't ask you to bring me here. Now I have to just survive and take care of myself in this, like it was like during inflation and all that, and I'm like everything is like yogurt used to be 99 cents, now it's $2 for yogurt. I don't want to live in this world. Why would you bring me here? You know You'd ask me if I wanted this and now I'm just expected to pay taxes and pay a mortgage and go to work.
Lady D:
I don't want to do any of those things right.
Erin Boogie:
She was like oh my god.
Lady D:
I just Am over it. Yeah, for real. Why is there a sheep wool festival? What do you do with that? Not go, maybe they got like sweaters. Oh, there's a circus at the mall in Albany there's one down here, too. You have one too. Is that the one that's over like down route nine, at the uh, where chuckie cheese used to be or something?
Erin Boogie:

Lady D:

Lady D:
That's crazy, oh my god. Hey, we should talk about the uh amber alert. First of all, why was I in that area? I'm like not me being down the street from where somebody was abducted. Now you out here abducting people. I did not abduct a baby. Rumors start saying I want to know what happened. I want to know what happened because it was like this would have said the circumstances in which she was abducted Leads the police to believe that she's at danger in danger of like serious harm or death.
