Cutie Patootie vs Baddies | EP 53

<p>Are you a cutie patootie or a baddie? This week on <em>The Thick</em>, we ask the important questions before diving into everything else going on the world.</p><p>In the news, we break down the House condemning socialism and the Lindsay Clancy trial ending in a mistrial. Then it’s pop-culture catch-up: Beyoncé’s box, P!nk calling out Macklemore over his advocacy, + more!</p><p>For our main topic, we talk through Keith Lee thanking God for protecting his family after a crash caused by a drunk driver, while another person tragically lost their life. What does it mean to publicly call yourself blessed in the wake of someone else’s tragedy? We unpack the way people talk about divine protection and favor. If God intervenes to save one person, what does that say about the person who wasn’t saved? </p><p>And somewhere between politics, theology and pop culture, we also determine whether we are  cutie patooties or baddies. What do yall think?</p><p>IG, TikTok &amp; YouTube: @thethickpodcast</p><p><br></p><p>Follow our hosts everywhere at @tabriamajors and @damnmindy</p><p><br></p><p>Music Credit: CWatt$</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Sources</strong></p><ol><li>House condemns Socialism <a href="https://legis1.com/news/house-condemns-socialism-resolution-passes">⁠https://legis1.com/news/house-condemns-socialism-resolution-passes⁠</a></li><li>Black man’s burned body found in Mississippi <a href="https://www.wlbt.com/2026/08/25/body-found-burned-wrapped-tarp-greenville/">⁠https://www.wlbt.com/2026/08/25/body-found-burned-wrapped-tarp-greenville/⁠</a></li><li>Man found hanging near Dodger’s Stadium <a href="https://www.complex.com/sports/a/markelibert/man-found-dead-hanging-bridge-la-dodger-stadium">⁠https://www.complex.com/sports/a/markelibert/man-found-dead-hanging-bridge-la-dodger-stadium⁠</a></li><li>Family Annihilation stats <a href="https://www.parents.com/parenting/dynamics/inside-the-mind-of-family-annihilators/">⁠https://www.parents.com/parenting/dynamics/inside-the-mind-of-family-annihilators/⁠</a></li><li>Mother in Illinois obsessed with Clancy case, fatally strangled son <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/06/us/illinois-corie-walsh-child-death">⁠https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/06/us/illinois-corie-walsh-child-death⁠</a></li><li>15 y/o fatally shoots woman at liquor store in Detroit <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2026/08/24/shooting-detroit-liquor-store-bodies-stoepel-haverhill-drive-by/91447969007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=true&gca-epti=z116552p117350l001150c117350e1195xxv116552d--59--b--59--&gca-ft=138&gca-ds=sophi">⁠https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2026/08/24/shooting-detroit-liquor-store-bodies-stoepel-haverhill-drive-by/91447969007/?gnt-cfr=1&amp;gca-cat=p&amp;gca-uir=true&amp;gca-epti=z116552p117350l001150c117350e1195xxv116552d--59--b--59--&amp;gca-ft=138&amp;gca-ds=sophi⁠</a></li><li>Chicago shooting left 16 year old deceased <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-shooting-injures-2-teens-south-stony-island-avenue-woodlawn-cpd/18893393/">⁠https://abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-shooting-injures-2-teens-south-stony-island-avenue-woodlawn-cpd/18893393/⁠</a></li></ol><p><br></p><p><br><strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p>00:00:00 Intro</p><p>00:02:34 Cutie Patootie vs Baddie</p><p>00:08:04 Solar Punk utopia</p><p>00:10:02 Tabria’s catch up</p><p>00:13:25 Mindy’s catch up</p><p>00:19:54 Watch out for the food yall!</p><p>00:22:06 Mindy’s catch up cont.</p><p>00:24:10 We’re doing [solidcore] together!</p><p>00:26:38 The tea leaf lady </p><p>00:30:47 Lilith placement </p><p>00:32:54 Arcade.gov</p><p>00:35:13 House condemns Socialism</p><p>00:36:13 Rula Jubreal calls Hakeem Jeffires “monkey”</p><p>00:38:49 Something is wrong in Mississippi</p><p>00:41:30 Lindsay Clancy case ends in mistrial</p><p>00:51:22 End gun violence!</p><p>00:54:33 UN votes to correct maps</p><p>00:58:37 NY hair stylists required to know how to work on all hair types</p><p>01:02:49 Mam
