Well, we were just talking before we started the podcast and we were like, where are you living? You're like, the world.

I am.

I'm a citizen of the world.

My partner and I, they started construction outside of our building in Brooklyn.

They ruined my quiet sanctuary that I found a quiet apartment in Brooklyn, New York.

And we were like, let's get out of here.

So we put all our stuff in storage and have been traveling Europe for the past summer.

think again guess again and by the way i i've said it before on this on this uh what's this called a podcast i've said it before and i'll say it again my eight-year-old has beautifully transitioned from tablet to graphic novel oh ama all right you can go tablet and they're not poisoned forever at the right and by the way at home we're talking we're eating optimal at a restaurant drone drone so we can hang

And you're trying – the goal is to get the family back together in the best way possible is what I've been told.

Right.

So they wasn't that deep with it in New Jersey.

It was like, this baby don't got nowhere to sleep tonight.

Could you please give this baby somewhere to sleep? But I think the concept of that is what it should be, but it doesn't have to be on the foster parent to deal with the parents.

The system needs to help the parents because we were talking about how like the concept of a foster parent is you get taken out of the home and And they give the resources to the foster parent for the kid.

Some of these kids get taken out of the home because the mom can't afford to pay the rent or can't afford to feed them.

A cricket.

What are some things you look for? Like if you're really trying to get yourself set up for a good stay, whether it's long-term or just like overnight?

Yeah.

Well, she's talked about gray paint.

I love gray paint.

Gray actually makes me happy.

I love the color gray.

I love a gray couch.

What are the things that when you see them in a place you're staying, whether it's a friend's home or an Airbnb or a hotel where you're like, oh, they've thought of everything.

If you didn't catch it from the AAVE energy in the room, I don't know what

to tell you.

This is not a black scent.

I, you know, grew up growing up with older my older black family members.

You know, I'm sure you also have family members who actually went through desegregation and the integration of the schools.

My godmother integrated the schools in New Jersey.

And she told me like from a young age, she's like, we didn't want to do that.

Um, but was there something where you were like, this isn't guaranteed, but I have to step out on faith.

I belong in the club.

you absolutely belong in the club.

I don't know, no white Kareem's.

But it was just so interesting looking at the responses because that was the big thing for me.

I just wanted black people to like it.

I just wanted, I, that was my love letter to black people and how I believe in us.

And I want us to be together.

You're ready to undo it.

[laughs]

So I get on this plane, and you know how if you're like, uh, if the flight is full, they say you gotta gate check the bag.

But they leave room for the first class cabin.

So I get on the plane last usually, and the woman ch- um, swiped it, and she was like, "Oh, um, you're first class, so there might be space, but if there isn't, just come back and I'll gate check your bag." So I get on the plane, and it's a white dude, the white steward or whatever.

He was like, "Oh, you need to check that bag." And I was like, "Oh, um, uh, the first class looks like it has, uh, room." He was like, "No, you need to be seated in first class to put your bag up there." I was like-

Fuck.

I get off the airplane, and I was like, "Oh, I didn't have my phone." I go to the Delta desk, and, um, I was like, "Oh, my phone, the Find My app says my phone is here." She was like, "Oh, it's definitely on the plane.

Let me call." She walkies to the plane, and it had to be that same steward.
