[00:00:20] Hey, what's up fam? Welcome back again to Recap Kickback. That's right, it's me, your host Chappellee, and we are back again after a brief break to bring you some of the most demanded, high-in-demand coverage here on Recap Kickback. Something that we really built a community around. Your favorite show and mine, Beauty In Black. Yes, that's right, again, Season 3 is here, and with me to talk about it, my co-host in all things Tyler Perry. It's Amari Forth. Amari, welcome back.

[00:00:48] We're back. At this point, I'm starting to think that Beauty In Black coverage will now outpace all other coverage that we've done if we keep going this route. I don't know how I feel about that. Yes, back when we started in the Connect days, it was very funny because we would probably get about two seasons in before our Black show would get canceled. And for some reason, Beauty In Black, still here.

[00:01:17] And so with us to talk about Beauty In Black, once again, the person who brought this to our door and who makes sure we don't miss a single moment of Tyler Perry's shenanigans, it's Matt Scott. Matt, welcome back. As I told you both over text, we've got to stop living like this. Like, this is not right. It's not right. This is your fault. This is your fault. It's your fault. You brought it up to me and were like, uh, Matt, we just need you here for some reason. Like, I don't know.

[00:01:47] I don't remember it like that. I don't remember it like that. Maybe it's like Horace or I don't know. That's how I remember it. And I have receipts, I'm sure, somewhere. I'm glad. And I hope you took notes because today we're going to talk about Beauty In Black season three, episode one. And then next week we will come back and talk about the remainder of the season. But, you know, not to bury the lead. But, Mari, originally, this was slated to be the final season of Beauty In Black.

[00:02:16] We got eight episodes. Netflix was supposed to give us eight solid episodes and be done with it. But then a few days ago, Netflix reversed the cancellation of Beauty In Black. There will be a season four! You hit a crowd going wild. You did that on purpose. You have bad information. How did y'all not know? Y'all didn't hear about this? What are you talking about?

[00:02:47] Yes, People Magazine a day ago, I think, dropped an article that said, what we know about Beauty In Black season four. And so we will be back again in a few months, I'm sure. After the weekend that it takes to film, we will be back to watch Beauty In Black season four and talk about it. Matt, what's going on? You look excited. I was happy. I was elated. I had the whole range of emotions. I was crying a little bit. I thought we were done.

[00:03:17] But here, now I'm confused. Because does that mean, okay, we have the eight episodes here. Are we going to get eight more for season three and then do a season four? These are good questions. I do not think there are eight more episodes to season three. Netflix originally slated this for eight episodes total. But then, as we know, Netflix series was renewed for a fourth season shortly before the premiere of season three. So right before they dropped, they said, we can't turn down this Tyler Perry money.

[00:03:46] We got to keep it going. Mari, I know you're hype. Oh, my God. I said, I know you're hype. Yeah. I heard you. Yeah. I heard you. Yeah. I am looking. It does look like season three is only slated for these eight episodes. So now we're going to get season four. So, okay. At this point, we're here. Aren't you happy that we're here?

[00:04:16] I am. Because you know what? I am. I'm here. I would rather be here with any two other people talking about this show. I mean, can you imagine, though? No. Mm-mm. No. Literally. It has to be this group. This has to be it. I'm just going through the list of, like, you know, Chappelle's other co-hosts on other things that aren't black. Listen. Who could be great here. My other co-hosts would do great. But make no mistake. Even Bloomberg would be amazing. Yeah. Maybe we need to start bringing on guests at this point.

[00:04:46] If Beauty and Black's not going to end, let's start spicing things up. Yeah. Why are you going to bring AJ into this? Drag Gia into this. You know, there are certain people who we need to get their opinions about this. But yes. We'll be back. It seems like next year. Probably in the spring. Probably March. To talk about the next batch of episodes. And I highly doubt it's just eight episodes again. It'll probably go back to its normal pacing. Considering. Yeah. Its normal 16th episode pacing. But that said, we do have other content coming your way.

[00:05:16] In the meantime, a different world reboot is coming soon. And so we're going to be talking about that. And then also Snowfall. Or at least the reboot of Snowfall. The Drop. Colon. The Snowfall. Yeah. It is coming back as well. Also returning to Recap Kickback. Latonya Starks. She says she wants to pop in a few times to get back into the swing of things. And so we're going to be seeing some of Latonya as well. So big shout out to her. But yeah, Matt. You're just in time. It sounds like Recap Kickback is about to take off again.

[00:05:46] I don't think it's coincidence that I'm here right now. Exactly. So you're welcome. Yeah. We need that. Okay. You are the one that's. Okay. Cool. Cool. Cool. I mean, that's what you said. But yeah. Sure. Yeah. Sure. So before we get into Beauty and Black, Mari, is there anything you want to talk about before we start our recap? Because we're only going to be talking about episode one today. If you've already watched the entire series, that's great.

[00:06:13] We will be back next week to continue the series coverage. But yeah, before we jump in, Mari, anything else? I mean, it's been a minute since the people have heard from you. Yeah. I know. I just want to say thank you to everybody that I met at RehapCon in Milwaukee. I mean, so many people came up to me. Big Brother stuff aside, talking about how they love Recap Kickback, talking about how they loved our coverage of House of the Dragons. So thank you guys so, so much.

[00:06:44] That meant the world to me. I told you then and there, but I want to tell you again here, your support here makes a big difference. So please make sure you subscribe. I think that we just, we crossed the threshold of 3,000 subscribers. 3,000-ish subscribers now. Yeah. And moving on up. So make sure y'all keep subscribing and sharing it with your friends. Keep sharing. Please post it in your Facebook groups, posting it wherever you can. Leaving reviews helps. Ooh, comments here on YouTube.

[00:07:12] If you want a lot of comments, give us some hype points. Give us some likes. That'll help the algorithm hopefully push us. And a lot of you asked me about Game of Thrones coverage. We talked about it here. We're toying with the idea of Game of Thrones rewatch coverage. We do want to hear from you because, you know, that's a long show. That's a long show. A lot of episodes.

[00:07:40] And we, I ain't too proud of it. We need some money. So, so if we gonna do, if we gonna do a Game of Thrones rewatch, some sort of rewatch, either an episodic one, episode by episode, or we were thinking maybe like a vote on the best Game of Thrones episodes. Maybe spinning a wheel and watching a different one each week type of thing. Let us know. We want to know if we started like a Patreon.

[00:08:11] Would you guys prefer that? Or if we did just a YouTube subscribers, like if you actually subscribe via YouTube, you'll get to unlock bonus episodes, videos on YouTube, something like that. And again, also, if you want total Game of Thrones coverage or just maybe like certain episodes, let us know in the comments here. I don't care if this is Beauty and Black. Still comment here. This helps.

[00:08:40] Any comments, let us know. We'll see if we can put a poll up. So try and answer the polls. All right. Get to the polls. Get to the polls. Vote or die. Vote or die. Oh, awkward. Oh, yeah. Damn. Hero in everything, don't you? So, yes. Wow. We really want to hear from you.

[00:09:07] Please reach out to us and let us know what you guys think. So, yeah. Give them money. Give them money. Like, I just. Okay. And first, I mean, why not? Like, you know, I didn't hear a free option in there. And I really appreciate that because Mario and Chappelle need your money. The free option is still recap kickback. We're going to be doing recap kickback. You just won't get that Game of Thrones coverage. Yeah.

[00:09:37] Or for the love of Ray J. Oh, don't do that. Oh, that would be. I would come on the for the love of Ray J if it's behind a paywall. I think you could miss me with that one. No, you know what? Homies. Danger. Homies. And way too many seasons of homies. I don't know. Chantel might be lurking in the background. I don't know. But okay. But yes. Good information from Mario. Think on it.

[00:10:06] Let us know what you would like to see. Tell us in the comments. Yeah. Or answer the poll. We'll try to tweet something out and make sure everybody gets a chance to get their voice heard. But let's go ahead and get started talking about Beauty and Black season three. Now, Matt Scott, this being your favorite show, what stood out from you for this first episode? Beauty and Black. Oh, my God. I hate these people so much. Like, I hate them. Because why are we getting? Okay.

[00:10:35] Well, I'll tell you what I'm most annoyed by. Okay. I'm most annoyed that we just got a guy. His name's Lee. He won't. He is a God-fearing man. He's a God-fearing Christian man. I'm like, what are we doing? Who is this guy? What's this story? Like, it's so random. So good. It stood out to me that Horace apparently isn't gay. And he went down on Kimmy in the back of a car.

[00:11:05] It stood out to me that I could keep going, but... No, stop. Just stop. It's too much. It's too much. It's like drinking out of a fire hose here. Okay. Okay. Let's start with your first point. We do have a new character this season. His name is Lee. And correct me if I'm wrong. This man showed up at Mallory's house today, the same day, worked overnight to repair the

[00:11:29] hole in the side of the house from when she drove her car through it, completed that construction assignment in one day, and they did not want to pay him in cash? Yes. That is the storyline. One day. And just like Matt said, it was going into the storyline that I was just like, before this happened, I was like, Mallory is so funny. When she was in the car with Varney. Bitch. Bitch.

[00:12:00] And then when she gets out and does this, I was like, oh, right. I remember Tyler Perry means we have to hate everybody. Yeah. It's a show of the least hated. It's not who is a well-rounded, likable character. No. It is we hate everybody. Yeah. So this was, I was sitting there like, so you don't pay your workers? Like, what are we, what is happening? I mean, money's tight. It is. He asked for money.

[00:12:28] He needs it in cash as he was promised. I hope there's a contract somewhere, but he didn't. So probably not. So you know what? When he pulled that yellow tail out of that fridge. First of all, the yellow tail should have told you that these people are broke. Because when I saw that, I said, that's the same wine I got. So I know y'all ain't got that much money. Damn. When I tell you, I paused that and looked, I was like, is that a, at first I was like, that barefoot? Yeah.

[00:12:59] Yeah. Gas station wine. Hey man, yellow tail done saved me in a couple of situations. All right. I ain't going to tell my business, but I ain't mad at it. Wine is wine. I was, I was like, no, they didn't. I was mad at him, but I, but I was with Lee. I was like, stay your butt there. Stay your butt right there. No. I tried to be with Lee Matt, but he didn't have a contract and he said verbatim. Um, um, I know y'all aren't known for paying your workers. So why the hell are you here?

[00:13:29] Yeah. Yeah. I think I would have left. Cause he doesn't know that they kill people. Well, they, he knows that somebody put a hole in the side of the house at the very least. He didn't ask no questions. Accident. Also, why is the, are we like, does it smell like smoke in there? Remind you. Thank you. We are only on day nine, like night nine by the time this episode ends. It's not day 10 yet. At least Matt. It can't be. It can't be. I don't think, I think they're still at night.

[00:13:59] So it's night nine. Oh my God. No, no. I think, I think the, they, the family got arrested in the daytime when they were in the boardroom. I think they got arrested in the daytime. That was, that was, that was day, that was day nine. Oh, yes. My bad. And shortly after she drove the car through the, through the house, by the way, just so we're keeping up with the timeline. I told, I told my students that no first two episodes, uh, occurred in nine days. They did. They did not believe me.

[00:14:29] I didn't point them here. I didn't point them here. I just talked about how I said, my friend told me this, this happened in nine days. My friend Matt Scott listened to this, these time codes on the podcast where he breaks down. Um, no, exactly. Like I, but what else are you supposed to do? I don't know. I was just like, I would, the way she was talking to him, right. When she started calling him all sorts of hood, rad street, nigga, da, da, da, you.

[00:14:57] I was like, she was thinking from the power locks. And she's talking about Paco. And she's saying Paco, I'm going to get Paco deported by ice is what she said. I'm going to call ice. And I thought she was good. I'm going to take your family too. I was like, girl, like what? That was the most deranged stuff to come out of somebody's mouth. And then I was like, oh, I was like, this is Tyler. Yes. I was like, this is Tyler Perry's, uh, remember, um, uh, high power black women.

[00:15:26] And don't, uh, date bus drivers. Oh, that's exactly. Yeah. Why? I was like, because, because I, as soon as he sat down, I was like, oh, they don't fuck at some point in this season. Yeah. No, totally. Well, I thought that, but then when he kept emphasizing that he was a, a, a Christian man, a strong Christian man, I was like, oh, Tyler about to do some heinous shit with this man. I don't know what he going to make them do, but he just kept emphasizing. I was like, I'm a good God fearing Christian man.

[00:15:54] And she was like, you need diapers for your baby mama hood. Nigga. Okay. Mallory. All right. All right. My God. I mean, yeah, I'm not even going to make a joke about him being on his knees and blah, blah, blah. She did. I thought so too. I was like, oh, she did. She was like, get on your knees. God fearing nigga. God fearing man. Mr. Nigga. She did call him Mr. Nigga. Wow. I think she called the other, the butler guy. Mr. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whitmore.

[00:16:23] Like, you can't treat your help like this. I mean. This is how like people spit in your food. Like this is crazy. She's been through a lot though that week. You know, it's, it's been a lot. So Matt Lee's story is that he needs this money by 9am because a lot of kids lives will be ruined because he owns a foster home. Sir. And I guess at 9am they're going to evict all of his foster, foster kids.

[00:16:54] What? You, you know, the state pays you for foster kids, right? Like there, you get money. Them kids being homeless is not, that's your fault, sir. Where's the money? It's going to be like three episodes until we get to 9am. Oh shit. And then, so the bank really be like, like they give you deadlines and then they come 9am, I'm coming to put y'all out the bank. They grab the kids. I ain't never seen the bank move that quickly. I ain't never seen a bank exclusively.

[00:17:23] I've never seen a bank exclusively work in cash. He said, I need cash. Sir, why don't you just wire you the money? She can't cash up it. She can't zail the money directly to the bank. That would solve this problem so quickly. No, I need cash right now. Yeah. You need cash for Paco. Yeah, Paco. Matt? Yeah. No, I just, okay. Look, I don't like the situation.

[00:17:52] I don't like that he is in the house. I want him to leave. I don't like that anyone's in the house because of the smoke. I don't like, what happened to the, what's her name? The one who got hit by the car in the bed with Roy? Is she dead yet? I think she might be dead. The other striker. No, that was Body. Body been dead. Good hair. Oh, shit. The one that Roy was. Kimmy killed years ago. It was at least seven days ago.

[00:18:19] The one who was like, the one who was like, give me my money. Yeah. Felicia? Felicia? Felicia sounds right. Yeah. Bye Felicia. Yeah. She got hit by that car in the bed. She got hit by the car by the bed. And remember, she got the coffee thrown on her. That was it. That was it. That was like the bionic stripper or something. That was a death blow.

[00:18:46] So let's dive into some of the family drama that's going on here. The FBI has shown up to the headquarters of Beauty and Black, and they are arresting everyone but Charles. Olivia says, Charles better get that money that she owes these people because otherwise they're going to come for him. Now, we've seen this woman with the short hair show up. I think last time we saw her, she hit Olivia's old ass with a sledgehammer. Yeah. If I'm not mistaken. And Olivia's fine. She's fine.

[00:19:13] She's just, you know, a couple days later, she's fine. Roy's fine. Like he didn't get knocked out of a building as well. But here we are. And so they're all getting arrested, but she needs him. Yeah, that too. She needs him to get the money or else they're going to come for her. For her. And she is willing to turn over state's evidence to get him in trouble for, I don't know, the bodies that he chopped up in the shower, Mari. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:19:40] Like the, it was, it was those men that came to his house to rob him because. Stripper robbers. Inviting strippers. Yeah. To his house. And so then he was cutting up in the, in the bathroom and Barney came to help. Yo mama is blackmailing you. Like this is this family, this family dynamic is really, really interesting. She's desperate. Poor Charles still got to figure out where to get this money from. Yeah.

[00:20:09] So Matt, he goes to Horace for the money. You would think he'd be able to turn to his dad. Yeah. You would think that. And Kimmy had to jump in and be like, I am your wife. So I am his step mom. So please talk to my step son. You know, she really had to, had to pull rank on him. And it worked. I'm about to, I'm about to. I said it at the same time she did. Me too. Because the storyline, it was, they, they orchestrated this just so she could say, I'm your wife. I feel like, all right. Wow.

[00:20:41] And what was the thing? Horace was like, how long? Yeah. So Charles goes to Horace and he's like, uh, dad, I just wanted to tell you. Horace was like, spit it out. What do you want? He's like, I just, I just, I just need to ask you for some, I had bought some strippers. And he's like, yeah, whatever. Uh, I heard what you doing with my lawyer? Because of course, Horace is disgusted by the idea that Varney and Charles will be, uh, sleeping together. And so his son was having his back blown out by the lawyer.

[00:21:11] Uh, six minutes and 35 seconds for our first, you discussed me. Oh, gay. Gayness. So that has to be a record of some sort. Something like that. Yeah. Well, yeah. So he asked how long? And Matt, Charles's response was what now? About 11 to 12 inches. I don't know. Genuinely. And the, and he was, and Horace was like, what?

[00:21:41] Don't, don't play with me, boy. And he's like, no, I don't know what you're talking about. So in canon, we nevermind. I don't even need to talk about it. It, it feels like the show is trying to retcon Horace away from homophobia and more toward like, oh, he's not. Well, no, not, uh, well that, well that too, but, uh, yeah, but it's like, no, he's, he's not disgusted because Charles and Varney are having sex.

[00:22:08] He's disgusted because Charles is having sex with his lawyer and that could be legal ramifications. You know, he's always at war with the family. The lawyer can't be trusted if he's in bed with Charles. And so it feels like they're trying to reel it back in. Cause Matt, this is not the vibe that we're giving us at first. No. Well, I actually want to ask you about this because I remember, um, you know, just a few months ago when me and Mari were in steerage at Ron Clark Academy, you were there with our friend, Tyler Perry. No, you were there.

[00:22:37] We know your friend, your friend, you were there with your friend. Tyler Perry. I was sitting with some refills. I assume that you said something to him about, you know, the homophobia. And here's the picture of Tyler, with Tyler Perry. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe he just changed his tune and said, we need to, we need to cool off on the homophobia a little bit. You know, I think I probably, they might have some pride flags in the next episode. Yeah.

[00:23:06] Mari, do you think we're reeling it back in now that the horse is not, uh. No, it was so homophobic. And that's why Kimmy was sick and tired of his ass. Like you sitting here trying to make Marty feel bad. You sit here trying to make Charles feel bad. When I know, I know. You got Angel at the house dancing like the dumb slut that he is. But I didn't even want that. Dancing like Jocelyn and Stevie J.

[00:23:36] Exactly. So if I'm Kimmy, I'm looking at you sideways too. Like, what are we doing here, sir? Yeah. Yeah. Stop doing that. Just get in on it. Get in on it. You know? Not with your son, but like, Barney's right there. I mean. Well, shows what y'all know. Because in this heated conversation in the back of the limousine, they, Horace says, raise the partition. We got to talk. And he tells Kimmy, you, you, you a stripper.

[00:24:04] I taught you one lesson and now you think you know everything. I don't want this man sleeping with my son because I don't want him spilling secrets and stuff like that. But Kimmy's like, well, you only got to worry about that if they're not on good terms. Well, they're like, Barney and Charles are never really on good terms. So Horace does have something to worry about. But when we see them get out of the car, they're disheveled. Their clothes are all askew. And it looks like they've been doing something. Now me, in my dumb brain, I said, why are y'all faking like y'all were back there having

[00:24:34] sex? Who are y'all trying to put on for? Nobody around y'all suspects anything. And Angel's inside dancing like a stripper. So if anything, like if people know, they know, like you have a man, a Latin man sitting in your, in your den right now. You know? So I was like, what are you, who are you doing this for? Only for Kimmy to then confirm that out of this conversation about business, Horace just decides, yeah, I'm going to go down on you.

[00:25:03] And Kimmy was very impressed by the moment she had. So that's not all he did. That's not all he did. Because the Whitman, the, the whatever guy who opened the car door was saying that Horace was moving like he was 18 again. I'm just saying, I feel like I was just, I had the image that maybe it wasn't just what Kimmy said happened.

[00:25:31] Like there was, he was some hip action. Yeah. I think so too. That's so nasty. My question for you, Mari is, are they trying to actually build a love story between Kimmy and Horace? Because what? Is that love? They are, but I was also like, y'all should have been did this shit. But be fucking real.

[00:25:58] But it's like in the, in the final, final season, this is where we're going. Um, Chappelle, do you have the full conversation between, um, Horace and Kimmy in the back of the truck? I stopped transcribing them conversations because there were so many words and not a lot of plot. Oh, but so, yeah. So I can probably find it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, type while I, while I expound.

[00:26:20] So when Kimmy says, I think you're jealous because Charles has always lived free and you've had to hide it. Uh, I, I think the next thing she says is something like, I think she does tell him, like, he could just do what he wants to do. Just be gay. Just be gay. Just be gay. Just be gay. Just be gay.

[00:26:45] And I literally was like, so, so why are we included in Tyler Perry's, uh, therapy sessions right now? Like, why are we like, why am I here? I feel like I shouldn't be here. You know what? Honestly, no, I look, I'm so glad that Tyler's getting therapy these days and it's, it's showing, you know, it's a beautiful thing. Um, it would have worked.

[00:27:15] It would have worked. Cause I was like, Oh my God, look at this introspection. Like, and then he said, Nope. Cause I'm still going down. Exactly. Exactly. What y'all know. I was like, horse has always felt like Tyler's avatar. And I was like that moment of retro, uh, reflection instantly gone. Nope. See, I still got it. Hey, you know what they say though?

[00:27:44] What are we talking about? You know what they're saying? Get you a man who can do both. Honestly. That's so ugly. No, this is ugly. He's old and nasty. That was so funny. But can I just say though? But can I just say? Wait, I have to say, I did call him old nasty. But what I mean by that is he had that nasty cough. That nasty cough that just like, he probably still has. And you don't. It only cured him.

[00:28:14] If he's like. It only cured him in a week. If he coughs in the middle of that, that's like gross. Well, I will say I was like, cause I was watching. I was like, Oh, why are they? I was like, Oh, why are they faking it? I did the same thing. I was like, what did I miss? Why? Okay, sure. And then when Kimmy had that look and she was like, well, he kind of put it down.

[00:28:38] So now, she was like, now I don't mind being Mrs. Bellary. Now. Okay. I was like, all right. Everyone has a price. If you think about it, we literally, this show does not have a true love story. Nowhere. Yeah, but it's on. Nowhere. These people don't deserve love. Nowhere. We're here. They don't deserve love. Nowhere. Here. Everybody hates each other. Okay.

[00:29:06] And so for, for Tyler to realize three seasons in, wait, we probably should have some sort of love story. It's kind of nuts to me. And for it to be this, it was very interesting because then Rain's like, well, he could be bi. Who cares? You know, it was just like, oh, like again, Tyler, get me out of this. Again, the progress. The progress. Check out the pride has spoken on RHAP.

[00:29:35] Five visibility days this week, I think. Something like that. It is now. But it was just like, but it was just so, I was like, this is so random. This is just, this is random. Yes. I like it though. I'm not going to lie. I don't like it. I don't like it. I love it. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. Kimmy has not spent enough time with Horace to be having no feelings for this man or to be having sex with him. Like she barely noticed. Oh, I'm okay with that. She barely noticed dude. She barely noticed dude. She deserves all that money. She deserves the money.

[00:30:05] She has the money already. She doesn't have to now fall in love with this man to keep that money. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Like she could have had sex with him like eight days ago. He treats her so nice though. Does he? Cause they really ain't, he ain't, he only been here for like three days. Yeah. But the bar is in hell. The bar is in hell. I think that's what it is. This is trauma bonding. Matt, the quote was, the quote was, I mean, he ain't no Roy for sure. I mean, I'm not in love with the nigga, but it's just, you know, I don't know. I'm confused.

[00:30:35] So now he, now, now Horace is Eskimo brothers with, with his son. Well, well you remember Roy could barely get it up because. Yeah. But that don't mean. I mean, it was, they did not do stuff though. Well, I know, but I'm just saying that's why it was, that's why it was whack. Yeah. Well, maybe he should have been like his dad and carried by Agra around. Mari said that body don't count. That would don't count. If it's whack, it don't count. Not even half. Okay. Okay.

[00:31:04] So yeah, we'll have to keep an eye on whether Kimmy is in love. This doesn't make any sense. Or not. We'll have to keep an eye on if Kimmy is in love with Horace. But we have. Her husband. It doesn't make any sense. And so, okay. Now, the other members. Are you going to talk about Angel though? Okay, sorry. Keep going. No, we can talk about Angel. Angel just there. In the damn way. Pissing Horace off. If he's, if he, if Kimmy is in love with Horace.

[00:31:33] Mari, what's Horace's relationship with Angel right now? When I tell you, I loved every second of that moment. When Horace and Kimmy walk in and they fresh off of whatever the dude they was doing. And Rain comes down, Rain looking good. That's what I'm saying. Horace is only nice to Rain and Kimmy. Horace is like, how you doing, Rain? Rain is like, I'm doing good. He's like, I'm doing good. And while he's staring daggers into Angel. And Kimmy's like, Kimmy's talking to him.

[00:32:03] And Angel's dummy, dumbass. Hey, Horace. Hey. Hey. He's like, the hug. I put hug. Because he's trying to figure out if he should be seducing him. You know, he's like, I'm not into it. But I don't want to lose this lifestyle. So he's like, hey, daddy. But he also don't, there's no, there's no emotion there. So he should like, try to give up something. No.

[00:32:31] Did Horace even say anything to him in that moment? No. No. Yeah. He walks away and Angel's like, let me know if I can. Let me know. If you need me. Yeah. I want him on the curb. I want him on the street. I know. I hate him. Out this night, which means in four episodes. Season four. I need him gone. Go back to your baby mama. Go back to your baby mama. You do not deserve to be here. This is Kimmy and Raines-ish. And Sylvie.

[00:33:01] Because Sylvie's upstairs in her room. And leave Jeffrey the butler alone. Like, don't. Thank you. What did he ever do to anyone? He's so nice. Butler, nigga. Butler, nigga. Like, yo. Make me a sandwich. No. No, he shouldn't. Okay. A lot of niggas is sad, but not a lot of niggas was in the room. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. Matt, what's your opinion of Angel as a character? Oh, I can't stand him. But I also feel like he's just, like, kind of a... He's, like, not a good character.

[00:33:30] Like, he's not fun. He's not interesting. He's frustrating. But I don't want him on my screen. And then didn't he almost die? Yeah. He got shot at the bus stop. But they missed him. They should have killed him off then. It was a drive-by. Everybody got shot but him because I guess he fell underneath the bodies. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah. That was great. Mind you, that was Tuesday. Yeah. No, I get it.

[00:33:59] No, and then he was, like... Oh, and then he went to the club and the club got shot up. Yeah, that too. He's been dodging bullets this whole time. Yeah, I don't, like... I don't get it. Like, I don't know what we're supposed to get from the character. Like, he... It just gives us nothing. There's nothing. It felt like originally they were going to make Angel a legitimate love interest for Horace. But then they just, like... They changed their mind. Like, they were like, ah, it's not really working. It doesn't really fit. Because now it's like Horace... You say they.

[00:34:29] Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Tyler Perry's the only writer on this show. It feels like Tyler Perry... It feels like Tyler Perry was going to go there. But then he don't... Because he dialed it back so much that Horace looks like he's disgusted at the idea of Angel. But then at the same time... Same. At the same time, he's supposed to be now having some type of love interest in Kimmy. So it really doesn't make sense for Angel to be here if he's not going to be Horace's boy toy. I mean, he's keeping him on ice. Like, he could just, like... I really wonder... Wait. You know, I don't know. He could do whatever he wants.

[00:35:00] I wonder what happened in Tyler Perry's life for him to all of a sudden be, like... Disgusted by a gay Latino man coming on to an older black guy. Mario, you ain't shit. You know what? Okay. I didn't say... I'm so... Oh, my God. They. The writers. What? The writers. The writers. I can't believe the writers just, like... The writer just turned... Y'all heard that. Mario ain't shit. He just turned the storyline. Wow. Mario. Damn. Mario wear two pinnets.

[00:35:30] I... I can't believe you said that. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say that. Oh, my God. Are they worth a $3 bill? Y'all see this? But, okay. So, anyway, Mario. Damn. You know, get us canceled by my best friend that I met in Atlanta that time with y'all. So... Who definitely was with us. Yeah. Well, that was Matt. Matt took that picture with him. But, anyway. So, elsewhere, the rest of the family has been taken into the interrogation room.

[00:35:59] So, Olivia, Jules, Norman, and Roy all get sent in. And they bicker like siblings. Now, they know. Roy... First of all, Jules is a cop. They're in an interrogation room. They know they're being watched. Matt, they damn near told all their business right there on the surveillance. I mean, forget that. Like, when they were being arrested, going back to that, at the start of the episode, they're like yelling at you, give me my money. Like, they're acting like the FBI wasn't there the whole time. That body cam footage would definitely get them.

[00:36:29] So, I don't think they care. Or maybe the writer doesn't care either. Honestly, that was so funny. They were like... They were like, eh, we're just going to sit you all in a room again. Because we know how y'all like to just tell your evil master plans to each other. We don't even have to do nothing. Not separate them. Not separate them. No, no, no, no, no. Put you together.

[00:36:56] So that you can incriminate yourself more. Or, and I do... Oh, my God. Jules be like, Roy, you'll never learn how to shut your dumb ass up. And then we were like, what? I ain't got to shut up. And then they're like, I know what they're doing. They're looking for the weakest link. Everybody's looking at Roy. And what did Roy do? He told. He said, take me to the white dude. Take me to the white man in charge. I have something to say.

[00:37:26] Because the feds offered them basically a deal. Whoever rolls on the rest of them first will be, I guess, some type of immunity. Get out of jail free card is what they called it. But I think Roy and Olivia pick up that Jules and Norman are kind of in cahoots. You know, they're kind of like talking in code across the table. And it does cause Roy to go and call the fed. Now, Matt, this felt a little too cute. Like, why would they do that in front of Roy and give him that ammunition to go and tell the feds? And why would they all just go?

[00:37:56] Yeah. Like, fight for it. Like, fight for it. Come on. I want to. Yeah. Bring me to the white man, too. If we all. If we all. If we all tell out each other. Then none of us can get immunity. Or all of them do. They say, Roy, you going to flip? You're damn right. Oh, my God. He didn't want to take the fall for it. You're so insensitive, Chappelle. Take the fall.

[00:38:24] He just fell out the window like two days ago. He said that. He said, y'all think y'all going to take the fall for this shit? Y'all are your damn minds. And so we will see what Roy ends up telling the feds at some point. I hope it's like. I hope it's like. Didn't the guy who killed Tupac just got. Yeah. Sentenced. And it's because he thought he was. He was saying stuff under like a pro offer. A proffer or whatever.

[00:38:52] And he thought what everything he said he got immunity for. Which they said he did. Until he left that. That the proffer and all the stuff that he did on the record. And then he started going to podcasts and talking about it on podcast. Yeah, not great. They were able to charge him based on this stuff. Yeah, but he has followers now. I hope that's what happens to Roy.

[00:39:21] I just did a quick Google search. And the Google AI popped up, of course. And it says. Following a nine day trial in Las Vegas. A jury deliberated for less than three hours. Before finding Dwayne Keithy Davis guilty. Now look. Key evidence. The prosecution's strongest evidence came from Davis himself. Over the years, Davis openly boasted about his involvement. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh my God. As dumb as Roy is, man, I could see this for him.

[00:39:51] I don't want to be involved in a court case. Like in terms of having someone listen to a podcast where we're talking about something to get someone convicted. I don't want that. That's so messy. I can't wait till that happens to Roy, though. He's going to go on the podcast circuit, coked up. Oh, for sure. You know, I love it. I love it. We should have him on. I don't know if we can cross the universes, but let's make it happen for season four.

[00:40:18] They kind of take different tactics in dealing with the feds here. Olivia's like, lawyer, lawyer, lawyer, which is honestly the smartest way to go about this. But Norman has a different idea. He basically pulls the, I know your boss card. He basically just admitted to being a murderer in front of the feds for no reason. He said, I know your boss. It's not about how I know your boss. It's how he knows me.

[00:40:48] And I'm like, what does that even mean? Right. Like, I don't, I know you're being cute, but like, I didn't get anything from that. Yeah. Um, he says, well, I won't be here for 24 hours. The cop asked, well, why is that? Are you a threat to yourself? He says, no, I'm not a threat to myself. The cop says, are you a threat to me? He said, no, I would never say that. See, that'd be like saying, I'm a killer when I know I'm not. Now, why the hell?

[00:41:18] He's not. What do you gain from saying that, Mari? Well, you, you, you cover true crime. Is there any benefit to what the hell Norman is doing? No, that whole, that whole place is bugged. Videotaped. Again, uh, shut your ass up or anything can be used against you. Like, that's how it goes. Right. Um, like, I don't understand. I don't know what that move was. He, the, the, how's your boss, Roy? Or whatever he said. Yeah. Whatever the boss's name.

[00:41:48] He's like, the guy was like, Ray, Ray. He wasn't threatened at all. He's just like, oh, no, he literally said to him like, how's Ray. And I thought he was talking about the movie. I'm like, what? Why? That man hasn't watched Ray. The movie that came out in 2014. Um. Well, yeah. I was just like, this is stupid. This is, it was so funny though.

[00:42:15] Like Jules, Roy, Olivia and Norman being taken off the board in one stroke. We know it's not going to last. No. But I do like, I do like that thought. Like, the, some of the most diabolical people being taken off. I, I'm, I'm fine with that. Like. Yeah. You know. I'm annoyed that it's them in jail and like the others didn't end up in jail. And I get that like Horace was doing some shenanigans. He was doing some. Yeah.

[00:42:44] Why isn't Charles in jail? Charles is a lovable scamp. He chopped up like eight strippers. He accidentally disassembled people. Was that his fault or was that the stripper's fault for keep trying him? After that first stripper died and got blown up. No, they were dead. Maybe they shouldn't have kept trying. They were dead, Mari. And then he chainsawed them. They were dead. I know. They weren't like fighting, fighting it. But, but, but, but they came into his space. This is. They did. This is a stand your ground state. Something like that.

[00:43:14] Yeah. Protect your cattle. Yeah, but who has a chainsaw? Uh, apparently Charles, uh, at least he was able to come up on one fast. Um, now, Mari, you do make a good point. Yeah. You could get that very quickly. Um, now, uh, so you mentioned that four of them are getting taken off the board very quickly as they're getting arrested and walked out of the building in broad daylight. Uh, um, Alex shows up and, uh, Jules and Mr. Traxon, uh, the other fake cop, they have been talking and they don't really trust Alex.

[00:43:43] And so when Alex shows up in front of the feds, Jules looks at Traxon and says, yeah, take care of that. I got it. I got it. Before Traxon goes to go kill, uh, Alex in the elevator. Now, why you would order a hit on that man in front of the feds? I don't know. But then for that man to go into a, a commercial building that nine times out of 10 has a camera in the elevator and then tried to commit a murder, literally a knife, a knife fight. Yeah.

[00:44:14] Stabbed him. He did. Just a little bit. I just don't understand why you would do this in front of the federal officers. This doesn't make any sense, Matt, but that's what you're concerned about. I'm concerned about the elevator because I don't want to now I'm terrified of falling in an elevator. A little Jocelyn. Just to let him know. I don't even know what, what happened because I don't either.

[00:44:42] I'm like, I don't know what happened, Matt. It just stopped. It just stopped, but only Traxon was affected by the stop. Yes. The stabbed Alex survived the stop. Did I miss something? No, Alex, cause Alex did what you're supposed to do if an elevator is falling. Do you see one of those? Yeah. You're supposed to. You're supposed to bend your knees, hold on to something as big as, as possibly as you can.

[00:45:11] And you got to take the brunt of the fall. No, that's bullshit. Because if you don't, you have to, because if you don't, you'll end up like traction where if you're straight up and the abrupt stop, you'll slam your head to the ground. So you're just not going to fall if you do a little brace here. Don't lock the knees. Some people say you should actually even jump. Jump. I used to think you could jump, but I don't think that's smart. I think you're, I think your way is better, Marty. I don't think you have the leg power. The Enneagram six jumped right out of Marty.

[00:45:40] Marty, why did you need to know that? Because of anxiety of getting stuck in a falling elevator. So what I knew that, I knew that too. If I get stuck in a falling elevator. I knew that. I was just like, if it falls, I'm dead. The end. So, um, I don't know how it stopped. Yeah. I don't know if he stopped, if it was the bottom floor. I don't know. No. Cause he had to climb out of it. It couldn't have been the bottom. Yeah. I watched a lot of that back. A lot of times trying to figure it out. And I know it shouldn't have fell.

[00:46:09] They were lightly jostling in the elevator. Nothing they were doing should have made that elevator fall. Let me be clear. They're like, like, okay, let's just say they're each like 200 pounds. Right. That elevator could at least carry like 2,500 pounds of weight at the very least. At least. Probably 5,000 pounds. And they're just falling. No. That must be a shitty elevator that they didn't maintain. That must be the shittiest elevator ever. You know how they basically don't have a script.

[00:46:39] They just be ad-libbing. And I, there's no way that you can change my mind. Because when they get on the elevator, the first thing Alex says is we should have took the stairs. And Traxton replies, we're going to the 20th floor. Weird. Oh, that's how he knew. Why would Alex want to take the damn stairs of 20 flights of stairs? Cardio? Yeah. Good Cardio. Get them steps in. This show. I mean, it makes him see. This show. There's no problem with that one. No, I don't like it. I don't like it.

[00:47:07] But also, Traxton did not die. He's not dead. According to Alex. Which is stupid. Why didn't you just kill him? Oh, he not dead? No. You should have just killed him at that point. He didn't kill him. Yeah. If you can fall out of the right. Why not kill him? No, he could have just stabbed him. You can't die. Yeah. He didn't stab him. He, like, punched him a couple times and left him in there. To come chase him down later on, I'm sure. Yeah. His punches are really strong. And he got stabbed, like, in the side. But he was fine. Yeah, he was fine.

[00:47:37] He has, like, four hours to get that addressed. So, by season four, we'll see if he gets stitches. So. Yeah. He was supposed to be taking rain to the strip club. But he can't. Because he has to lay low after killing Traxin. And that's unfortunate. Because tonight is rain's big night. She has been gifted this strip club. And she's ready to make it rain, as she says. The new building we call. So. So she goes to the club. And makes her grand announcement.

[00:48:06] That, Mari, the strippers are free. She said, make some noise. Clap. She needs to run for office, honestly. She does. They were like, yes, yes. Free healthcare. Yes. Is it wrong that I was sitting there like, okay. Okay. Their debts are free. But we should talk about this, like, you know. You know. It's kind of like booth rentals. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, what. You just. They're just tipping the house. Like, whatever they want.

[00:48:34] I was like, the house should take at least, like, 30%. You know. Mari trying to get Rain's business plan. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. I was like, are they free? Free? How are we paying for this? It's not her money. You know. Like, no traffic. Yay. No traffic. You can leave if you want to. However, if you stay. 35% to the house. You got to buy at least minimum two drinks. You got to. You know.

[00:49:05] And we get a 20% cut of all the lap dances. Yay. Everybody's free. So. Yeah. Wow. But these strippers have been working for free for so long. Remember. Kimmy is there to pay off a, Chex Notes, $200,000 debt. Yeah. Jesus. You know what? Actually, I'd be so pissed. If I'd been paying all this money only to find out that I didn't have to pay any of it off. Nope.

[00:49:36] Did you been working for free for no reason? Because if you really think about it. Yeah. Like, I'm almost at the end of my debt. Like, oh, look at that. And then she just says I didn't have to pay debt. And then I. Was anybody really almost at the end of their debt? Nobody stripped their way out of $200,000 worth of debt. Not in Atlanta. I don't know. Well, maybe in Atlanta. Not in Atlanta. The market's so saturated. There's too many strippers to come by. I wouldn't. Again, I would have been happy that I don't have any more debt accruing.

[00:50:05] What I haven't had to give them is off the table. You know. Well, it would be. But because that same woman whose name I have no clue. I don't think she's a nameless lady. I don't know. But the woman who took the sledgehammer to Olivia's leg is there. And she tells Rain, hey, not so fast. Because you can't make those decisions here. Because apparently the strip club owes this woman money.

[00:50:34] And we see how she acts when she doesn't have her money. Mari, it is Thursday in Beauty and Black. And literally, they said it. They told her. It is Thursday. So we know it's Thursday. By Friday, Olivia is supposed to have this money. But what do you think this puts Rain? Now that Rain is in control of the club. Everybody, what I just said. Ha ha. Just kidding. One more night. Back on the pole. Back on the pole you go.

[00:51:06] I don't know. I don't know what this diminutive lady's problem is. And why everybody owes her money. But it's like, I just. Like, can I just get my feet wet? Like, I just bought this club. Can we just. And that wasn't me. Like, you. Yeah, I didn't. You owe Jules and them. Oh, that wasn't me. Just one night. One night of a little stripping. We'll see. Y'all wouldn't let me watch the second episode.

[00:51:36] So I can't tell you. I don't know. Matt wouldn't let you watch the second episode. No, he wouldn't. I thought we could have knocked out all episodes in one sitting and been done with this. Because we still have to prep for season four when it's coming, Matt. But you didn't want to. In three weeks. I wouldn't really save that. I would do this weekly if we could. I'm going to find a way to put a poll in the comments to find out if people want to do a Patreon. Where we do weekly coverage of Beauty and Black. Daily. Daily. Let me know in the comments. Daily Beauty and Black coverage. Okay? Daily. Like, every day. Beauty and Black. Yeah. Yeah. Starting at the beginning.

[00:52:05] I want to be the Taryn Armstrong of Beauty and Black. This is what you missed. It's day two again in the Beauty and Black episode. Still day two in Beauty and Black. And 17 things have happened. Yeah. So the episode kind of ends with this woman saying, you need to talk to me in the office. And so Rain doesn't know what she got herself into. But we will find out when we come back next week to talk about the rest of the season. Matt, does this lady own the strip clubs?

[00:52:35] Like, potentially? Or maybe it was her money that put the strip club up. And so maybe Rain was never going to get it? I think she just says she owns a sledgehammer and she can do what she wants. I ain't going to fight her. She got a sledgehammer. Whatever she said. No, I have no clue. Right. Because we've only seen her interact with Olivia. And as far as we know, Olivia had not had anything to do with the strip clubs. That was Jules and Norman.

[00:53:02] So I don't know what this lady can say. And Rain bought the club from Delinda's son. And she, this lady, blonde haired black lady, wants to have her money by Friday. But it's Thursday. But why is she in the club on Thursday night when she should be sleeping? Wait, is it Thursday night? Thinking ahead to Friday. It's got to be Thursday night. It's Thursday night. Oh, Jesus. Well, is it Thursday night? Because the club's not open.

[00:53:30] No, it is Thursday night. Why ain't nobody at the club? Oh, yeah. It's still in transition. Maybe it's early. It might be like nine. It might be like eight. It's all the daytime. Yeah. It's in transition. Well, you know, it's got new ownership. So they probably should call a staff meeting, basically. Yeah. Yeah. Friday is tomorrow. It's in a few hours. Yeah. So why is she in the club? She's got other money to collect, it seems.

[00:54:00] Why does she need money, though? I don't know. But maybe we'll find out. No, I figured it out. She has a foster home. And the bank's going to come. If they somehow connect this short-haired lady to the foster home Christian man, I'm going to die. I'm going to scream. That is hilarious. Because what if he doesn't owe the bank money? What if it's her that he owes? What if she's the one about to put those foster kids on the street because he ain't got her money by 9 a.m.? She's collected from everybody.

[00:54:29] She said, F them kids. F them kids. I need my money. Put the money in my hand. Give me the money. That said, we will be back next week to talk about the remainder of this season. Seven more episodes to go. And y'all are in for a treat because I've already seen, Mari, there are ninjas in this season. What? What? Yeah. No. Are you sure? Are you sure that's real? That is actually real. No, no, no. That is real.

[00:54:59] Netflix tweeted it out. My husband could not wait to show me that clip. I came home one day. He said, you have to look at this. And I nearly destroyed his phone. Like, what do you mean there are ninjas in Atlanta? That's your problem. That's my problem.

[00:55:26] Not knowing that ninjas just show up out of nowhere in Atlanta. Is it better in like New York or in LA? In the United States at all? Why are the ninjas here? I'm so mad right now. Yeah, there are ninjas in Atlanta and we of course have to talk about that. Matt, just to remind everybody, this show is about Kimmy wanting a hair salon. Am I right? Oh. That was a week ago, Chappelle. I'm just saying.

[00:55:55] She changed her mind. We've come so far from who's going to win the scholarship for the hair salon from episode one. What if she gets? Oh my God. Can you imagine? She gets a scholarship. We thought that was going to be the main story. It's not even a storyline. Cillia. Wow. I think she'll own us a lot one day. I'm calling it. You think so? She owns the company. Yeah, she owns the company technically. For now.

[00:56:25] Well, with her falling in love with Horace, maybe it's forever, but we won't find out until next week. Matt, thank you for joining us again to talk about Beauty and Black. I just, I feel like it's cathartic to just sit here and go through all the crazy shit that's happening in this show. Yeah, I know. Because it's very much like our real lives. And it feels good to be able to process everything in real life by watching the show and being like, yeah, I could relate.

[00:56:51] No, it's, look, I feel like I'm like one of the strippers who works in the club and I can't figure out how to get out of here. Yeah. You're just trapped. Just trapped. And you owe us money. Yeah. Do you have any predictions for the rest of the season? Aside from obviously the ninjas that has been spoiled for you. Okay. So the white FBI agent, Agent Paul, he's going to get killed. Who else is going to die? Ooh, a death draft. I like a death draft. Alex is going to die for sure.

[00:57:21] He should have been dead. He got stabbed. He's at least going to get an infection. I think that's Kimmy. I think that's Rain's love interest. I don't think he can die. Rain's probably going to die with him anyway. No, Rain can't die. Oh, you don't think the sledgehammer's going to die? Remember he had sex with Mallory too. Wait, who had sex with Mallory? Alex did. Alex had sex with Mallory. Oh, sorry. When you said Mallory, I thought Olivia. I mean, Olivia was having sex too with a bunch of people. I don't really know who was having sex with who anymore.

[00:57:51] Okay. So you think we might lose Alex this season? Yeah. And we're going to see the bag come out again. Speaking of Olivia, someone's going to get shot in the bag. Okay. Hey, Mari, Attorney Varney thinks he's going to get fired this season. Do you have any predictions for things that might happen with him? Yeah. Attorney Varney is going to continue to get yelled at and berated and basically pissed on, but he's going to do his job.

[00:58:18] He's probably the most, again, he's the most competent person on the show. No, like the Italian doctor. The Italian doctor. Oh, he was good. He's a miracle worker. Yeah. Yeah. The one that was making eyes at Horace. Yeah. Making eyes. Wow. That's disgusting, Mari. Why would you say that about Horace? No, not Horace. Not Horace. He's disgusted by the idea of that. Sure. Yeah.

[00:58:44] Varney is just going to take his lumps, but he really do be getting this family out of the stickiest of the situations. So I'm always team Varney. I feel like I have some issues with your phrasing between lumps and stickiness with Varney. I don't know. I just feel like there's something there. Can't put my finger on it. Probably. And I won't. I won't. So Matt, thank you again. Tell everybody where they can find you until we come back next week. Oh, you know, I'm just here.

[00:59:13] I'm here, you know, all the time pulling Recap Cake back up by its bootstraps. You got to. Someone has to. But when you can't find me, I'm Matt Scotch EW on all the platforms. You know, I mentioned the Pride Has Spoken podcast. I mentioned Pod Friends. I'll have an episode of Pod Friends coming out from RehapCon featuring special guest co-host Mari Forth coming out soon. And Mari and I are going to figure out if we are going to ever talk about pro wrestling

[00:59:39] again here on Recap Kickback on the Wrestling Kickback. So stay tuned for that. We might talk about AEW here. We might talk about all elite wrestling. If we have to we have to process our emotions around wrestling. But that might happen. I did see a Facebook post that was begging the wrestling Rehap up to come back. And yeah, they spoiled the they spoiled the shit out of everything.

[01:00:05] I was like, oh, I mean, if only the host would give the fans what they want. Also, there's there's a random wrestler on Survivor this season coming up as well. No one's ever heard of him. We've never talked about him and no one cares. Well, you have to tune into the wrestling kickback to find out more about that when it comes back. But thank you again, Matt. Also, also, Matt, you will be joining us on Rock of Love coverage with me and Chantel eventually. Yeah, soon. Soon. Oh, I love look. I love Rock of Love.

[01:00:35] I love the season. I love all my white. Well, they're all white now. My white queens over on Rock of Love. So fun times. Yeah. Bret Michaels. Why does he always wear a hat and a bandana? What are we doing? Those are all my takes. But no, I'm really pumped. And I'm so glad that we keep going. At RehapCon, a number of people came up to me and to Chantel and to both of us when we

[01:01:05] played the newlywed game about the fact that they love just the rewatch. And I don't think anyone spoiled her either. So that was positive. All right. And Mari, what do you have going on in your neck of the woods? You follow me on Blue Sky at Mari Talks Too Much. That's who like the number two. Still making cups. Hey, thank you everybody who has been buying cups. Yes. Matt has the crime scene cup that is available for purchase on my website.

[01:01:35] Yes. Both Matt and Chappelle. I have, of course, a House of the Dragon cup that is available for purchase on my website. And yeah, go to MariCraftsTooMuch.BigCartel.com to get your cup. Thank you so much to everybody who have been purchasing. And coming up, well, use code RECAP to get 10% off and a free gift. And coming up, you know, it's the holidays.

[01:02:02] So if you want a gift, get your gift order in early. Yeah, like Labor Day. Oh. Okay. Mari, would you get sued by the NFL if you started doing like... Oh, that'd be great. Because the season is starting. So I have done things for the No Fun League.

[01:02:27] So if you want No Fun League cups, you can get that by going on my website. Go to Customize. Choose your No Fun League group. And I can do that for you. Go. I hope you get sued. All right. I will not get sued because I... You could take the cease and desist and make it a cup design. Yes. You can also find me on Crime Scene Pod.

[01:02:55] You can go to CrimeScenePod.com. Chappelle will be joining us pretty soon. What? Sorry. Matt will be joining us pretty soon. One of y'all. One of y'all will be... Yes. Matt will be joining us pretty soon on Crime Scene. I was just on a live... I just got back from Milwaukee. I was just on the live episode from Milwaukee. One of y'all. It's Chappelle. Chappelle will be joining us pretty soon. But soon is the question. When is soon? Yeah, when is soon? Soon is next week. Next week.

[01:03:25] Chappelle will be joining us on Crime Scene Pod. That is true. Yes. Me and Sarah Carradine had a great time at RehabCon recording a live episode. That might only be available for our subscribers at Buy Me A Coffee. We're still trying to figure that out. I will also say, just as a spoiler on that, I mean, Mari, and this is why I was a special guest, unofficial co-host of Crime Scene.

[01:03:50] Because we were in Uber and recorded some content from our driver about her Crime Scene origin story. So look at me earning my spot, unlike Chappelle, who just shows up. Well, anyways, find us over there. Thank you. Chappelle, where can people find you? He hates me. People can find me here on RecapKickback.com. That's YouTube.com slash at Recap Kickback for all your Recap Kickback shenanigans, okay?

[01:04:18] So as y'all know, we're doing the Rock of Love coverage live on Sundays with me and Chantel and sometimes my former guest, Matt Scott. And then also, you know, me and Mari coming back to talk about a different world soon, snowfall soon, and much, much more. And then pretty soon, Abbott Elementary will be back as well in September. And that will be back at the beginning of October. So G and I will be talking about that. But we have so much more Recap Kickback content coming your way. But you have to subscribe to the podcast.

[01:04:43] Join our 3,000 plus subscribers, youtube.com slash at Recap Kickback or Recap Kickback.com slash subscribe. But that's it. So for Mari, for myself, and for that empty space that used to be Matt Scott, you ain't got to go home, but you got to come back next week to catch the end of Beauty and Black Season 3. Until next time, peace!
