HEY AIN'T THAT RANDY'S BROTHER?
I was a little surprised to hear Jermaine on Rickey’s show since I’ve heard Rickey repeatedly say that he things Jermaine is ‘NASTY’ for "dealing with" his little brother Randy’s ex-wife. I have a feeling Jermaine isn’t aware of those comments. AND THANK GOD because if he were I may not have heard the fuckery that I surely did hear.
Highlights...
6? of Jermaine’s 7? children have names that start with the letter ‘J’. Jermajesty, Jafar…umm…some other ones. And then a daughter named…Autumn. He said he ran out of ‘J’ names. That's an interesting comment since Autumn’s middle name is Joy. I believe Jermajesty is a grown man now and even this many years later, Jermaine was still delighted to tell Ebony, Rickey’s co-host, that Jermaine and Jermajesty have almost all the same letters!! *excitement* WHO KNEW!
*sigh*
The highlight of the interview was when Jermaine said that he was trying to "catch up" to his father in terms of how many kids he has, but lamented the fact that he couldn't because his father had all his kids by the same woman (that's not exactly true but...).
That prompted them to ask Jermaine how many wives he's had. His current wife, said Jermaine, is his 4th. And he said he KNOWS it's gonna work out because she, Halima, is 'real' and from a different country (Afghanistan) and she's worldly and...and...I don't even know what else.
Before he could finish, they asked him if Halima was the wife that had been previously married to Randy. Jermaine said that NONE of his wives were ever married to Randy and he immediately changed the subject back the reality show even though he had been rambling on and on about personal matters. It was such an abrupt turn that you could hear Rickey and Ebony snickering the background. IT WAS HILARIOUS.
If audio is posted, I will link to it. In the meantime this is the link to the Rickey Smiley audio archives. I missed the part where Jermaine discusses his hair! So if you heard it or have the audio pleaseeeee let me know!
HOW NOT TO GET DONATIONS
On a separate note, I was in my favorite store the other day (Ross) and I heard the following exchange between two older black ladies, one a cashier, the other a customer.
Cashier: Would you like to donate $1 to the American Heart Association, it could help save someone's life.
Customer: No
Cashier: What? You don't wanna save any lives?
Customer: I save lives everyday.
Cashier: What, you a nurse or something?
Customer: Yes I am.
Cashier: Oh ok so you're a nurse, very nice. Wait, you're a Doctor?
Customer: No, I'm a nurse.
Cashier: Well, Drs save lives! Nurses just get people ready.
Me: FALLS OUT ON THE FLOOR.
And hell no, the customer did NOT donate a $1 to AHA!!

All of that, including and especially the wayward cashier = fuckery to the highest degree.
Thanks world.
