The Limelight

The hosts discuss the relationship issues between Keisha, Chavis, and Joe. They clarify that Keisha and Joe have been married for five years, not 13 as previously thought. They mention Jada Pinkett and Will Smith's separation, suggesting the hosts may have mixed up the information. They propose creating a show called "Shut Up, Jada" based on women who talk too much. They analyze Keisha and Joe's relationship, with the hosts suggesting that Keisha has had the upper hand due to Joe's diminished status. They discuss the OnlyFans controversy, questioning whether Joe's issue is with the platform or the fact that he was not consulted. They explore the idea of ego and the fragility of the male ego in relationships. The hosts conclude that Joe's pride was hurt, and he is losing control of his household. And we're back right here on the unemployment line, Doc and Larry P. talking about Keisha, Chavis, and Joe and their trials and tribulations that they were going through for the world to see. Staff and research department has verified that they were actually married in 2018. So it hasn't been 13 years. It's been like five. Yeah, but I don't know where that 13 number came from in my head. I think I'm thinking about somebody else. Maybe Jada Pinkett and Will Smith or something. Which this is what? Well, I think I was talking about them being separated for 16 years yesterday, and I think that might be in my head. They weren't separated for 16 years. That's what Jada Pinkett said. She said her and Will have been separated for 16 years. That's another story. Another show for another time. Yeah. So let's go back to the show. We should create a show called Shut Up, Jada. That's what we need to do. It's not really directed towards Jada Pinkett Smith, but it's just a show called Shut Up, Jada, based on all of the women that just be talking. Like, shut up. Why are you talking so much? You know, and Keisha Chambers, and we thought we could relate this to Keisha Chambers and this whole relationship, and his OnlyFans are recording this whole argument between their marriage. Shut up. Shut up, Keisha. Stop putting your business out there like that. So let me start here, too, because I think the foundation of their relationship does matter in this scenario. Her and Joe Smith got married after he was past his prime. So I think the way I observed that video, it seems like she has had the leverage the entire time, which is why she felt comfortable enough to just pull out and put this man on video, because it's like, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? She was your little porn star when he met her. Yeah, when he met her, but that's also after he was done in the NBA. So, like, put it this way. 25-year-old Joe Smith would not tolerate this. A 25-year-old Joe Smith is in the league. He can go out here and get a bunch of women. He's got a pocket full of money. He can do whatever he wants. This version of Joe Smith, he can't do that. This version of Joe Smith, he's got to try to salvage his marriage, because what are you going to do? Get back out here in them streets? Try to find a new wife? No. He's got to figure this out. Yeah, and in the video, she said, Joe, he's like, you could have came and talked to me. I think this is really the biggest thing. Like you said, I think the fact that he found this out from somebody else and not from her. And he's like, you could have came and talked to me. But she was like, Joe, I've been trying to talk to you, but you ain't been, like, listening. Because I think in her mind, she's been saying, you know how, like, you tell your wife, hey, I don't want you working no more. But you picked her up from the grocery store or something like that. You know, hey, I want you, like, I'm going to be the breadwinner. She's like, you know, I can get back out there and work. And you're like, no, I don't want you going back out there working for them people and all this stuff. In your brain, you already think, like, she's just going to resort back to what she was doing before. That's probably what Joe was thinking in her head. Hey, what, Joe, you know I can go out and make money. He was like, what? And here's what he probably thinks. What's your resume look like? Like, you know, customer service. What's on there? What's on your resume right now? And it was like porn. So it was like, what can you go back to doing? Porn. So he said, I've been trying to talk to you, Joe. And he was like, no, but you ain't been listening to me. So she went ahead and did the OnlyFans just because she was like, I can do it. But for her, as a porn star, you know, the industry of porn is like, you know, you got to be out there interacting with somebody. The industry of OnlyFans, you can be pretty lucrative by yourself. And that's the thing. Like, you got to understand how these things work. The money is not in content creation. The money is in subscription. So if this was strictly a move to figure out how can we be in a better situation financially as a family, then that's why she took the route that she took. I don't think it was her doing it that he had the issue with. It was the fact that, A, he did not sign off or give approval of this. And, two, he found out from somewhere else. But I don't see your point. I don't think he would have told her like a hard no on the whole thing. But I do want to point out the whole issue of him probably feel like less of a man in the situation because she feels that she has to do this because he ain't bringing in enough money. It's like, Joe, we got bills, baby. You know, granted, Keisha, Keisha is 52 years old or around 52 years old, getting out there with her body. First of all, the other. This is one thing. This is one thing. I want people to understand this. Like if you a porn star, like porn stars don't go and do other things. If you think about like the Cherokees, the pinkies, the are what we grew up on. Michelle Tucker. What we grew up on. You know, Roxy Reynolds. What we grew up on. You know what I used to do? I still, you know, first I come home. I do my homework. You know, I get a get a nice a juice box, a bag of chips. And then, you know, you know, and then I turned on the computer and go straight to it. Video dot com. But if you think about like those, I think about where they are now. I think Cherokee are the only fans. I think Pinkie be going to like the porn expos or whatever. The money, the money is in the subscription, not in the content. But like, so like this is not what she was describing to her is very, very normal. And so like, I don't think anybody even has flinched at the idea of regular everyday people having only fans because it's so normal at this point. I saw a story. There's an ongoing story going around about there was a teacher who got fired or suspended from her job because she had only fans account. They said something about like a morality clause in her contract or something like that. I mean, I guess the students can always just find it. But again, it's so normalized in society at this point. So now you go into the question of is it normal in your marriage? So as a husband, is that something that Joe should have an issue with understanding that this is hot? This is the industry she was in when they met in the first place. So is he being is he being hypocritical by saying, well, I don't want my wife out there like that. When you met her, she was out there like that. Yeah, I think it all comes down to communication conversation. And like I said, what I saw in the video was Joe didn't want her going out there and doing only fans. And she was trying to bring it up and say, hey, Joe, I could make some money doing this. And Joe kept shutting it down. But was that about him not wanting her out there like that? Or was that about his ego as the provider? I couldn't tell you. I mean, she don't. Like you said, what is your resume look like? What other marketable skills does she have? If there's if it comes a situation where it's like, babe, money tight, you're going to have to start working. When she pulls out a resume and shows it to Joe, it's like, I mean, I can go apply. But you you see what my skill set is. I think it's based on ego. I can't go get a job at Target, Joe. I think that's ego. I think it's ego. Like somebody like Joe, like I said, where you came from, like a man, you know, I was once an NBA. Like, you know, I've been a breadwinner. I've been putting it on, you know, Sam. And I've been making sure my wife don't go back to that life of porn or the adult industry. You know, I've been doing everything. So, baby, don't don't get out there. You ain't getting back out there doing that stuff. You ain't got to do that stuff, baby, to make money. We can we don't figure it out. The fragility of the male ego is is wild. And if you see, it's very common for athletes to date or marry women from those types of industries. It is very common for them to marry women who were exotic dancers. It is very common for them to date women who were in the adult entertainment industry. And a part of a part of the reason why they do it is because, you know, they find them to be attractive. But then there's also that part in their mind where it's like, yeah, I got her. I took her out of that me. And so I'm taking care of her now. So she don't have to do that no more. And so that's what Joe probably was thinking when they first got together. And now that Joe, you know, ain't in the league no more. And they ain't getting them checks like he used to. You can't do that no more. So now she coming back to you like, I mean, you saying we need to bring in more money. What you want me to do, Joe? And homeboy like, hey, I think I seen your wife on OnlyFans. I subscribe just to be supportive. You know, I look, I thought it was her. Well, listen, it's going to say I subscribe for $9.99. But I did it just to make sure it was her because I really couldn't tell. I saw the thumbnail picture and I was like, dang, that look like Keisha. Shout out to our unnamed homeboy who wants to subscribe to somebody OnlyFans for research purposes. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, man, I was I was trying to make sure it was her. So so if my wife called you and say, hey, what is this charge on the account? Please, please let her know that it was only for research purposes. Yeah. But now I said I think Joe's pride was hurt. Joe's ego was hurt. Joe's pride was hurt. And Joe, Joe just felt like, hey, you ever been in a situation where you just feel like you lose control? Joe's losing control of his household. Yeah. And he's losing control of his household on video. Like you can't. But I got to go back to that, too. Like you can't. Like, man, don't argue with me on video. Like some people will be like, don't don't go to bed upset. Like one of my one of my like go tos and my relationship is, man, we don't argue. Can we at least not argue in front of people when we step out the house? We have to look like a united front. Like everything is good. We straight. You can't have other people seeing us. Are you? Because that just leaves the opening. Because one of the two things is happening right now. Either somebody in Joe D.M.'s or somebody keeps you. Somebody might be Joe D.M. saying to him, hey, man, I see how you how your lady did you. I would never do you like that. I see that you are strong, upstanding black man. And you just trying to do what's best for your family. And I don't think that was right. And then he's going to be thinking to himself. Yeah, you're right. When are you available? And then on Keisha and somebody's side and her D.M.'s like, hey, you know, I think it's crazy that you got to even feel the need to go out here and do that. Those types of things for money. I can take care of you. But what is this? What is what is everybody? Nobody really still not sold that. It's not a publicity stunt. You got people. They used to be. You got Joe Smith used to be a basketball player, limelight basketball game on television. And then you got Keisha used to be in limelight porn star or adult industry on TV, on your screen. 50 years old. What do they do now? Because now he should be doing interviews on podcast. We don't see bouncing around. People calling her trying to talk to her. She doing interviews about it. Yeah. Shut up, Jada. Come on, man. She was on. It is what it is. Podcast. She was on. She's been on a bunch of different podcasts. But at the same time, people have been trying to interview Joe to see how he feels about the whole situation. So is it a publicity stunt just to get these people back in the limelight? Like you so hungry for it. Could you got to think about this, man? Think about this lifestyle. You go from high school. Not so much for Keisha. Hopefully not for Keisha. You go from high school. You go from high school being being the man in basketball. He go to college being the man. You get to the NBA. I mean, you somewhat like the man. But you still you still you still relevant. You don't make a lot of money playing basketball. You're a basketball player. And all of a sudden, it stops. And, you know, if you ain't no commentator, if you ain't on if you ain't on no no basketball show, if you don't know ESPN sports take show. Life is over like you. You got the limelight now. Like the parallels of the two industries is actually quite interesting when you think about it, because in both of them, you really in your prime and like your 20s. You might get if you really good. You might hang on in your 30s. But then after that, like again, what? Look at my resume. Like what is what are Joe's marketable skills? You can go do a coach. Yeah, you can coach, commentate or go find something else to do. What can Keisha do? Only fans. But unless you got unless you got. Nobody want to go to a strip club to see a 50 year old stripper. Let me just say that unless you have the skill set to be like a producer or something like that. Like what are her marketable skills? I watched some of her old films. She does not have the ability to be a producer. She wasn't putting out quality content there. Speaking of quality content, when we come back, I would like for us to discuss. Is this even a big deal? It's the unemployment law.
