[00:01:39] She is our intern.

[00:01:47] Yeah.

[00:01:47] What you're here looking for a man?

[00:01:49] That would be a great-

[00:01:51] That'd be a great episode.

[00:01:52] I was just being like a stand in for the camera.

[00:01:54] No, no, no, no.

[00:01:55] That'd be a great episode.

[00:01:56] Like what are you looking for in a man?

[00:01:57] No, no, no, no.

[00:01:58] We should like do like-

[00:01:59] Like a blind date thing.

[00:02:00] The Cheyenne balloon pop.

[00:02:02] I don't-

[00:02:03] Just have the-

[00:02:04] Finally go die.

[00:02:05] Oh, ankles out, pop.

[00:02:07] You gotta go.

[00:02:08] And I'm fast.

[00:02:09] Angles out.

[00:02:10] Oh, where's your hairline?

[00:02:11] You gotta go.

[00:02:13] Is that wrong?

[00:02:15] No.

[00:02:15] Sir, you have tucks on.

[00:02:16] You have to go, sir.

[00:02:17] Yo, it's funny I say that.

[00:02:18] Yesterday was the first time I sat down and watched the pop the balloon show in full on YouTube.

[00:02:23] I was fucking bored.

[00:02:24] And I was like, this is the secondhand embarrassment that I get when everybody pops a balloon on the balloon.

[00:02:29] I be feeling so bad.

[00:02:31] I'm like-

[00:02:32] The Jamaican one be having me laughing.

[00:02:33] I'm like, this nigga's tight.

[00:02:36] Niggas start to fucking curse at everybody else.

[00:02:38] Yeah, this is my type of shit.

[00:02:39] That's the Pate shot episode of the pop of the balloon.

[00:02:41] Oh no.

[00:02:41] Oh my gosh.

[00:02:42] So we gonna find you a man?

[00:02:43] What if we do it for like Valentine's Day?

[00:02:46] Find it.

[00:02:46] You're not with it?

[00:02:48] We'll see.

[00:02:49] What's up?

[00:02:49] All right, cool.

[00:02:50] Yes.

[00:02:53] What's going on in LA?

[00:02:55] Oh man, this episode is long overdue.

[00:02:57] Cheyenne has been on the docket for- since the top of the year.

[00:03:01] Yeah.

[00:03:02] And she's just been ducking us.

[00:03:04] I was never invited until it proved to us.

[00:03:07] Untrue statements.

[00:03:08] Yeah, thank you, John.

[00:03:09] Y'all never gave me a date.

[00:03:10] Oh, we need to have you on the pod.

[00:03:11] We want to see your episodes in my notes.

[00:03:13] No invite, no date.

[00:03:14] Okay.

[00:03:15] We're not even gonna argue, cause one thing we know.

[00:03:19] We never argue with.

[00:03:20] Yeah, we ain't gonna win.

[00:03:21] But Cheyenne has this topic that she mentioned-

[00:03:27] It's a theory.

[00:03:28] All right, so yeah, let's go through this theory.

[00:03:32] Are you a victim or are you a volunteer?

[00:03:36] Whoa.

[00:03:37] What?

[00:03:38] We never talk about this.

[00:03:39] Somebody explain this.

[00:03:40] Somebody explain this.

[00:03:41] What?

[00:03:41] What we talking about here?

[00:03:43] Okay.

[00:03:44] Am I signing myself up for this shit like that?

[00:03:46] You know-

[00:03:47] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:03:48] I mean I have to explain the theory.

[00:03:50] Yeah, go ahead.

[00:03:50] Go ahead.

[00:03:51] Without not giving the person who did something wild to you accountability.

[00:03:55] Sometimes we volunteer for things.

[00:03:57] You can be victimized-

[00:03:58] I know you're new to podcasting, but you gotta talk in the mic.

[00:04:01] You know?

[00:04:03] You're being closer to you.

[00:04:04] You know what I mean?

[00:04:07] Yeah.

[00:04:11] Sorry, my brain is short circuited.

[00:04:13] Typically someone does something wild to you, you're a victim, right?

[00:04:16] Cool.

[00:04:16] But when you keep going back, at some point you volunteered.

[00:04:19] So let's say like if me and Kojo are in a situation, I'm done with Kojo, but I don't

[00:04:24] block him on anything.

[00:04:26] So now he has access to me and I'm hitting LaShawn like, oh my God, LaShawn, Kojo won't

[00:04:29] leave me alone.

[00:04:30] I'm a volunteer at this point.

[00:04:31] It's like them girls that be showing the screenshot of a nigga keep calling, calling,

[00:04:35] calling.

[00:04:36] Right.

[00:04:36] You could've blocked him.

[00:04:37] Word.

[00:04:37] You volunteer for that.

[00:04:39] You didn't set your boundary.

[00:04:40] So sometimes you're a victim, but sometimes you volunteer.

[00:04:43] Yeah, I get that.

[00:04:45] Cause sometimes you wake up, you in a situation and you wake up and you be like, yo, enough

[00:04:50] is enough.

[00:04:51] But you stay knowing that you know.

[00:04:53] I think when you know, when you realize like, all right, this is bullshit and you still

[00:04:59] stay, yeah, you're a volunteer to whatever happens to you.

[00:05:02] So as a friend watching somebody go through that, do you tell them like, yo, you should

[00:05:06] stop.

[00:05:07] What type of friend are they?

[00:05:10] It's me and you.

[00:05:11] Tier A.

[00:05:12] I'll tell you.

[00:05:13] Yeah.

[00:05:13] And if I still keep going, it's like, all right, I'm done talking to you.

[00:05:16] Yeah.

[00:05:16] But you still see me suffering.

[00:05:17] It's like, oh no, no, no, no, no.

[00:05:18] You signed up for that.

[00:05:20] Actually at that point-

[00:05:21] Niggas don't give up.

[00:05:22] So niggas give up.

[00:05:23] So you're giving up on me as a friend.

[00:05:25] I'll pray for you.

[00:05:28] I'll pray for you.

[00:05:29] At that point, you're not the victim.

[00:05:30] The person who's doing it to you is the victim.

[00:05:31] Cause you won't leave them alone.

[00:05:33] Like you-

[00:05:33] That's crazy.

[00:05:36] They're doing all types of wild stuff to you.

[00:05:38] Now they're the victim.

[00:05:40] Okay.

[00:05:40] Okay.

[00:05:41] So how long is the leash that you give, I guess, the individual or yourself before you

[00:05:46] become a victim?

[00:05:47] Because there's still, obviously, isn't there room for you to like-

[00:05:50] Learning, like a learning curve?

[00:05:51] Yeah.

[00:05:52] You know, the grace that is needed to like get-

[00:05:55] Whatever the realization of like, yo, this is ridiculous.

[00:05:59] Like why am I tolerating this?

[00:06:00] What if it's ridiculous from the rip, but-

[00:06:01] Dang, that's-

[00:06:02] Oh, then you volunteered.

[00:06:03] I was like, you signed that paper.

[00:06:05] I ain't gonna lie.

[00:06:06] You sad.

[00:06:07] Cause you had no sweat equity involved.

[00:06:09] People will tell you like who they are really early on.

[00:06:11] We just like tend to ignore-

[00:06:13] We look past it, you know?

[00:06:15] Aw, she's so pretty.

[00:06:17] Aw, she's so cute.

[00:06:18] Is that what y'all say?

[00:06:19] She's so pretty?

[00:06:19] No.

[00:06:21] Yes, it is.

[00:06:22] That pussy-

[00:06:22] No, it's not.

[00:06:23] That shit fire.

[00:06:25] I apologize.

[00:06:27] That shit is a crippling cross face.

[00:06:30] I-

[00:06:30] I-

[00:06:32] Chris Berry.

[00:06:33] We can't-

[00:06:34] We can't make Chris Berry wide jokes.

[00:06:36] I'm sorry.

[00:06:38] No.

[00:06:39] Never, never.

[00:06:40] Oh my God.

[00:06:41] The walls of Jericho.

[00:06:42] We can say the walls of Jericho.

[00:06:43] So like that.

[00:06:45] Why is everybody reminiscing?

[00:06:48] I don't like that.

[00:06:51] I didn't like that.

[00:06:52] I didn't like that.

[00:06:54] Nigga, they just said oh shit.

[00:06:57] That's a great reference.

[00:06:59] My fault.

[00:07:00] My fault.

[00:07:01] Day in the building too.

[00:07:02] Quai in the building.

[00:07:04] You sure?

[00:07:06] Sorry.

[00:07:07] Nigga just ignore Quani and Dine in the back.

[00:07:09] What's the longest you ever been in that mode where it's like, you're literally

[00:07:13] volunteering?

[00:07:15] From my realization to-

[00:07:18] And you just kept going?

[00:07:20] Maybe three years.

[00:07:22] Uh huh.

[00:07:23] You've been a volunteer for three years?

[00:07:25] What made you stick it out for that long though?

[00:07:26] Hope.

[00:07:27] Hope.

[00:07:28] Belief in they will change.

[00:07:30] The sweat equity.

[00:07:32] You know what's something?

[00:07:33] I don't want-

[00:07:34] Wait, wait.

[00:07:34] I'm gonna get too crazy there.

[00:07:36] Three years?

[00:07:37] I-

[00:07:38] Time isn't real.

[00:07:39] You know what's crazy?

[00:07:41] I used to have this mindset.

[00:07:43] Like, I don't want to go through all this bullshit with somebody and then they eventually

[00:07:49] become a better person and somebody benefits from that.

[00:07:52] Nigga, I put in all this work bro.

[00:07:54] That's like, aight.

[00:07:55] That's like me leaving the party.

[00:07:57] I'll continue.

[00:07:58] Somebody comes on and then shit go.

[00:08:00] Nigga, what?

[00:08:02] Nigga, I'm shooting something off.

[00:08:05] Are you crazy?

[00:08:06] Then you gotta-

[00:08:06] But then you gotta say, oh, it was me.

[00:08:08] I was the problem.

[00:08:09] Not necessarily.

[00:08:11] No?

[00:08:11] Mm-mm.

[00:08:11] Cause sometimes when you lose something, you-

[00:08:13] That's the realization that damn I was-

[00:08:15] I was fucking up.

[00:08:16] So I was hoping that the person realized, you know?

[00:08:20] Like, don't lose this.

[00:08:21] Don't let the-

[00:08:22] Don't let your-

[00:08:24] The growth of yourself be-

[00:08:27] So ultimately what got you, after these three years, what got you to make the decision

[00:08:31] to stop being a victim?

[00:08:33] Or volunteer?

[00:08:34] Volunteer.

[00:08:35] Uh, damn.

[00:08:36] How can I say this without-

[00:08:38] Outside entity.

[00:08:40] Another woman?

[00:08:41] No, not another woman.

[00:08:41] Well, her mother.

[00:08:43] Wow.

[00:08:44] Yeah.

[00:08:44] That takes a hell of a-

[00:08:46] Yeah.

[00:08:46] That's a hell of a person to tell you some shit about that.

[00:08:48] In the three years, her mother never revealed herself to you and asked to be the person

[00:08:52] that was gonna help you get over that?

[00:08:54] Or were you stubborn?

[00:08:55] No, her-

[00:08:56] The energy from her mother changed.

[00:09:00] So remember I told you the situation like, yo, I can't marry you because you're-

[00:09:04] Ah, yeah.

[00:09:04] Okay, I'm gonna be discussing it.

[00:09:05] So that-

[00:09:06] So technically, it wasn't even her per se, cause I already had like, yo, I feel like

[00:09:12] you're never gonna change.

[00:09:13] And sometimes that never gonna change.

[00:09:15] Maybe the, you know, the change that I wanted from them maybe wasn't just in them.

[00:09:22] Oh.

[00:09:22] That-

[00:09:23] We got a-

[00:09:24] We had an episode, that's just who they are.

[00:09:26] Mm-hmm.

[00:09:26] You know?

[00:09:26] So I'm more so accepted, okay, this is who you are.

[00:09:30] Mm-hmm.

[00:09:30] Can I live with this?

[00:09:31] I can.

[00:09:32] Am I gonna be the happiest?

[00:09:34] Probably not.

[00:09:36] Um, but I can live with it.

[00:09:37] It's suitable.

[00:09:38] But then when you add the sauce on like, oh, your mother's a mean person.

[00:09:44] That's a-

[00:09:47] Your mother's a mean person.

[00:09:48] So it felt like he was double teaming you at that point.

[00:09:50] Come on, bro.

[00:09:51] It was like, it was like, uh, Devin Booker when he was doing them runs, yo, we just practicing.

[00:09:56] Why we double team?

[00:09:57] Don't double me, bro.

[00:09:58] We just doing a simple run.

[00:10:00] Question, question, Fiat.

[00:10:01] Do you ever look at the person's parents like, yo, this is who you gonna be with the

[00:10:03] old, I'm good?

[00:10:04] Yes.

[00:10:05] As far as looks, maybe.

[00:10:07] No, I meant personality.

[00:10:08] Looks, yeah, but who they are.

[00:10:08] Personality as well.

[00:10:09] No, not necessarily.

[00:10:10] Uh-uh.

[00:10:11] I kinda do that like, yo.

[00:10:12] It's hard to do that when-

[00:10:12] Most women don't know their fathers.

[00:10:18] If women don't know their fathers, y'all don't know y'all dads either.

[00:10:21] Nah, I know my dad.

[00:10:22] My dad was in my life.

[00:10:23] Same.

[00:10:23] I could call him right now.

[00:10:25] You're gonna be a little business call.

[00:10:27] We going dad for dad.

[00:10:30] I was with my dad.

[00:10:32] He might pick up the phone with my dog.

[00:10:34] But Don, what?

[00:10:35] Going dad for dad.

[00:10:40] I'ma lose this crazy.

[00:10:44] Yo, where's this episode going?

[00:10:46] No, I definitely have looked at a guy and been like, oh, your father's still a philanderer.

[00:10:51] And that's your hero?

[00:10:52] Yeah, I'm up out of here.

[00:10:53] Oh.

[00:10:54] Wow.

[00:10:55] You gotta listen to T.I.

[00:10:56] Watch your words segment.

[00:10:57] Oh, he was like a cheater, just doing the most.

[00:11:01] Oh, okay.

[00:11:01] Yeah.

[00:11:02] Now, what if the parent is not the same as their child?

[00:11:07] Like, what if they are two contrasting things?

[00:11:09] Is that something that you-

[00:11:10] I feel like most of the times you get a little bit of your parents.

[00:11:14] You're raised by a similar, most of us are raised by our parents.

[00:11:16] You get a little essence of your parents.

[00:11:17] So it's like, yo.

[00:11:19] Even with my shorty, you'll be like, oh, look at what she doing.

[00:11:21] Like, oh, acting like your mom.

[00:11:22] Now you acting like your dad.

[00:11:23] It's like, oh.

[00:11:23] Dan, what if you rather them be more like their mother than they actually-

[00:11:28] Like, you see the way their mothers are, their dad is, and you're like, why can't

[00:11:32] you be like your parents?

[00:11:33] You think you're gonna say that a lot?

[00:11:34] Yeah, like-

[00:11:36] Imagine how most of our parents just be like, yo, why you don't act like your cousin?

[00:11:40] Tough.

[00:11:41] You wanna hear that shit?

[00:11:41] Oh, they don't get good grades like your cousin.

[00:11:43] You gonna be in that relationship for a long time?

[00:11:45] I was the cousin they wanted.

[00:11:46] Exactly.

[00:11:47] What?

[00:11:48] It depends on the mother though.

[00:11:50] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:50] Because some of them are like overtly domesticated.

[00:11:54] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:55] And it's like-

[00:11:55] Different times.

[00:11:57] Exactly.

[00:11:57] So I can't be like, damn, why you kids be like-

[00:11:59] You can tell your mom just tending to your dad.

[00:12:01] Why you-

[00:12:02] I'm sitting here, I had a long day at work.

[00:12:04] Where am I playing at?

[00:12:05] That shit, that shit'll get you broken up with, y'all.

[00:12:07] There you go, I'm playing that.

[00:12:08] I'm glad we'll never change.

[00:12:10] I had a feeling that's where this was going.

[00:12:12] I like it.

[00:12:13] Because, I'll tell you this.

[00:12:15] Everybody know.

[00:12:16] So, Elizabeth's moms would like literally bring her husband's like-

[00:12:22] Hey.

[00:12:23] On the train?

[00:12:24] On the train.

[00:12:25] Lovely.

[00:12:26] Drink.

[00:12:26] I used to look at her like-

[00:12:30] What's going on?

[00:12:32] You want this ring so bad, show some socks.

[00:12:35] Show me.

[00:12:36] Show some socks.

[00:12:37] Come on.

[00:12:39] Make it worth it.

[00:12:41] You done a picnic.

[00:12:44] Wait, wait, wait.

[00:12:44] You done what?

[00:12:46] Niggas want a luncheon so bad, nigga.

[00:12:49] Oh, you done a picnic.

[00:12:52] Sean's the bag, sorry.

[00:12:53] But um-

[00:12:54] Yo.

[00:12:55] Sean, have you ever been-

[00:12:56] You did a victim?

[00:12:57] Yeah.

[00:12:58] And then after a while, I volunteered.

[00:13:00] Ooh, tell us more.

[00:13:01] Yeah, get into detail about your-

[00:13:02] What she said earlier, Kwani?

[00:13:05] How to ask the questions that we get to running?

[00:13:07] Ask a specific type of question with specific words.

[00:13:10] So, we're asking a specific type of questions.

[00:13:12] Tell us about your victim.

[00:13:13] You're asking clarifying questions.

[00:13:14] Yes.

[00:13:14] Clarifying.

[00:13:15] I hate this.

[00:13:16] Our clarifying question to you is, tell us the time where you realized you was a victim

[00:13:21] and said, you know what?

[00:13:23] I'm now the volunteer.

[00:13:24] And explain your reasoning as to why you chose to be a volunteer.

[00:13:28] Mm-hmm.

[00:13:29] It's less about choosing.

[00:13:30] I think you realize you were a volunteer in retrospect.

[00:13:32] Like in- When I was going through it, I didn't- I wasn't like, yeah, I'm just gonna

[00:13:36] volunteer.

[00:13:37] I genuinely in my head was like, no, this situation might change.

[00:13:40] We might work on things.

[00:13:42] I think you get to the point of being a volunteer once you're out of it and you're like, oh,

[00:13:46] now I see what was going on.

[00:13:48] But it's just when you don't leave the first time.

[00:13:50] Like if somebody gets caught up-

[00:13:51] The first time?

[00:13:53] How many times-

[00:13:54] That's what I'm saying, bro.

[00:13:55] Yeah, I need you to talk to me.

[00:13:56] Like, talk to me.

[00:13:57] Yeah.

[00:13:58] The first time, man?

[00:13:59] In theory, how do you-

[00:14:00] I was up.

[00:14:00] No, no, we're not judging.

[00:14:02] No, no, we're not-

[00:14:02] How do we go again?

[00:14:03] How do we go again?

[00:14:04] We listen and LaShawn judge.

[00:14:08] I'm gonna ask, how do you navigate co-

[00:14:12] like coexisting with another person without fighting through, okay, their flaws?

[00:14:18] Like if we talk about commitment, long-term commitment, it doesn't exist without-

[00:14:23] Well, no.

[00:14:24] I'm talking about like cheating.

[00:14:25] Is that what-

[00:14:26] Is that what-

[00:14:27] Shane-

[00:14:28] The first time-

[00:14:29] Shane and volunteering, we talking about-

[00:14:30] You can't survive a little cheating?

[00:14:31] Shane-

[00:14:32] No, I can't now.

[00:14:33] I used to be able to and now I'm like, that's stupid.

[00:14:35] I was volunteering.

[00:14:36] So-

[00:14:37] Cheating doesn't happen by accident.

[00:14:38] Uh-huh.

[00:14:39] Shane-

[00:14:39] It depends.

[00:14:40] There's a lot of steps that happen.

[00:14:41] It's rare you having a real like-

[00:14:42] Shane-

[00:14:43] Shane-

[00:14:43] Yeah.

[00:14:45] Shane-

[00:14:46] Shane-

[00:14:46] Shane-

[00:14:47] Shane-

[00:14:47] Shane-

[00:14:47] Shane-

[00:14:50] Shane-

[00:15:03] Shane-

[00:15:04] SHYL-

[00:15:04] Shane-

[00:15:05] Shane-

[00:15:05] Shane-

[00:15:05] Dude, okay.

[00:15:15] Shane-

[00:15:15] Shane-

[00:15:15] Shane-

[00:15:15] Shane-

[00:15:17] Shane-

[00:15:17] Shane-

[00:15:17] Shane-

[00:15:18] Walk

[00:15:32] to the guy that

[00:15:34] you'll probably end up with to get

[00:15:36] this version of you knowing there was a

[00:15:39] assault conversion

[00:15:40] that probably would've never taken advantage of.

[00:15:42] They probably got his feet rubbed.

[00:15:43] Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

[00:15:46] It's like

[00:15:47] the

[00:15:51] parent that has the

[00:15:52] first kid. They figure out

[00:15:54] all they bumps and bruises

[00:15:56] and they laugh.

[00:15:59] They can be cruising.

[00:16:00] That's not true though. That's why my siblings

[00:16:02] hate on me. Exactly. It's usually

[00:16:04] the opposite. This version of me is

[00:16:06] way more confident, way more sure of myself.

[00:16:08] That version was the one that was like,

[00:16:10] oh, it's okay. We could work through it.

[00:16:12] No. That doesn't mean I'm not soft and

[00:16:14] kind in my relationship. It just means

[00:16:16] I'm strict about that. My non-negotiables

[00:16:18] are non-negotiables versus

[00:16:20] my boundaries being like, eh.

[00:16:23] So after the

[00:16:24] gentleman did all that stuff,

[00:16:26] were you giving

[00:16:28] him a time sheet like, yo, I need to know where you at.

[00:16:30] This time, this time, this time.

[00:16:31] No, because I've also never been like that.

[00:16:33] People do what they want. So I was just like,

[00:16:35] all right, we're going to start from scratch.

[00:16:37] How you found out?

[00:16:39] Oh, yeah.

[00:16:40] You went through a phone.

[00:16:41] You went through a phone.

[00:16:42] Now, now, now.

[00:16:43] Now, now, now.

[00:16:43] Now, now, now.

[00:16:45] You ain't a victim no more. You a villain.

[00:16:47] You ain't a victim. You a villain, nigga.

[00:16:48] No, I was just trying to figure out

[00:16:50] how much I want to divulge.

[00:16:51] So one of my friends

[00:16:54] knew the girl in passing.

[00:16:55] Oh, okay.

[00:16:56] And the girl hit up my friend like,

[00:16:58] oh, do you know such and such?

[00:17:00] Oh, she can't come to you woman to woman?

[00:17:02] No.

[00:17:02] She asked my friend like,

[00:17:04] do you know this dude?

[00:17:05] Is that his girl?

[00:17:06] And she was like, yeah,

[00:17:07] and that's my friend.

[00:17:07] And she sent me the whole conversation.

[00:17:08] She just screenshot it

[00:17:09] and sent me the conversation.

[00:17:10] Nigga said, nigga.

[00:17:12] So I screenshotted it to him.

[00:17:14] Wait, that was your initial finding out?

[00:17:16] Yeah.

[00:17:17] And after that,

[00:17:17] you continued to allow it?

[00:17:20] Well, I mean,

[00:17:21] I didn't know it was still going on,

[00:17:22] but after like,

[00:17:24] you know,

[00:17:24] that period of like,

[00:17:25] ah, reconciliation, we cool.

[00:17:27] Then I went and did some digging

[00:17:28] and I was like,

[00:17:28] yeah, this never stopped.

[00:17:30] Okay.

[00:17:30] I wanted to ask.

[00:17:31] So now that you passed that,

[00:17:32] you've moved on,

[00:17:33] you've matured,

[00:17:34] you've gotten stronger.

[00:17:36] Is there anything else?

[00:17:37] Is there anything in this version of you

[00:17:39] that you would volunteer to?

[00:17:42] Like what?

[00:17:42] Right.

[00:17:43] I'm saying like,

[00:17:43] not the same, right?

[00:17:44] But are there things,

[00:17:46] you know,

[00:17:47] when you get a partner

[00:17:49] that he may do

[00:17:50] that you may turn a blind eye to

[00:17:54] for that same thinking,

[00:17:56] the way you were thinking before,

[00:17:57] but it's just a whole different situation.

[00:17:59] That's tough

[00:18:00] because I won't know it

[00:18:01] until I see it.

[00:18:02] Like, I don't know

[00:18:03] what would make me feel like.

[00:18:04] So the reason why I'm asking that is,

[00:18:05] do you believe that anybody

[00:18:07] is capable of not being a volunteer

[00:18:09] to shit like this?

[00:18:10] No, I think we all do to an extent.

[00:18:12] I don't think it's wrong.

[00:18:13] Right.

[00:18:14] I don't think there's like

[00:18:14] an inherently bad thing.

[00:18:16] About volunteering

[00:18:18] through things that we know,

[00:18:20] like this is not aligned

[00:18:21] with my spirit.

[00:18:22] I think that speaks

[00:18:23] to people's willingness

[00:18:24] to believe people are good though.

[00:18:25] Yeah, because people are good.

[00:18:27] Right?

[00:18:27] No.

[00:18:28] Not everyone, but...

[00:18:29] Nobody's good?

[00:18:29] No, people are,

[00:18:30] but not everyone is good.

[00:18:31] Not if they know you.

[00:18:32] They know me.

[00:18:33] If they know...

[00:18:36] I ain't gonna lie.

[00:18:37] That shit came from left field.

[00:18:39] I ain't even expecting

[00:18:39] to walk in my life.

[00:18:43] Nah, I ain't gonna lie.

[00:18:44] Don't even do it to yourself, bro.

[00:18:45] You gotta let him do it.

[00:18:46] Let him run.

[00:18:47] I promise you.

[00:18:48] That's not a personal dig at me, bro.

[00:18:50] I promise you that.

[00:18:51] Oh my God.

[00:18:52] Leave me out of it.

[00:18:53] That was insane.

[00:18:55] You made excuses for his soul.

[00:18:57] Yeah, come through, bro.

[00:18:58] We have Kwanee.

[00:19:01] Come on, hang out.

[00:19:02] Look at yourself.

[00:19:04] Something that you said...

[00:19:06] He don't have the stool?

[00:19:07] Nah.

[00:19:08] It's a quick question.

[00:19:10] If you're making excuses

[00:19:11] for yourself in the moment,

[00:19:12] are you then still a victim

[00:19:14] or are you like a co-conspirator?

[00:19:17] I'm making excuses for this person.

[00:19:19] The nigga said I'm a Cody in the cheating.

[00:19:21] If I know

[00:19:22] and then I'm not like,

[00:19:23] you know what?

[00:19:24] Whatever.

[00:19:25] Whatever.

[00:19:25] It's cool.

[00:19:25] I'm gonna make...

[00:19:26] In my head,

[00:19:27] it's just okay,

[00:19:27] whatever.

[00:19:27] I can get past it.

[00:19:28] Am I then making an excuse for them to...

[00:19:31] Because if I say...

[00:19:33] Because it's a slippery slope.

[00:19:34] If I give you a pass now,

[00:19:36] all you're gonna do

[00:19:36] is just make sure

[00:19:37] you don't get caught again

[00:19:38] or just make sure

[00:19:39] things don't go a certain way

[00:19:41] to where it comes back.

[00:19:41] You think so?

[00:19:42] You think a person could...

[00:19:43] I mean, it's...

[00:19:44] You think it's a...

[00:19:46] Habitual?

[00:19:47] I was gonna say that,

[00:19:48] but like...

[00:19:48] You don't think somebody...

[00:19:49] A one-off?

[00:19:50] It could be one of...

[00:19:51] It could be one of two things.

[00:19:53] If it's somebody that

[00:19:54] you know that you love so much

[00:19:56] and you almost lost,

[00:19:57] you'll change your ways.

[00:19:59] That's what I was saying.

[00:20:00] But if it's somebody

[00:20:00] that you really don't give a fuck about

[00:20:02] and they found you,

[00:20:04] found out,

[00:20:04] and then you're like,

[00:20:07] is she not going?

[00:20:09] You're not leaving.

[00:20:09] Bet, I'm gonna do it again,

[00:20:11] but I'm gonna just do it.

[00:20:12] It literally turned into,

[00:20:13] oh, me find a bigger distance.

[00:20:14] Yeah, like...

[00:20:16] Oh, you saying Brooklyn?

[00:20:16] I'm gonna sat now.

[00:20:17] Because for this now,

[00:20:19] shorty hit shorty up,

[00:20:21] and then,

[00:20:21] ah, ah,

[00:20:21] now I'm gonna go to

[00:20:24] fucking Wisconsin.

[00:20:25] You don't know nobody

[00:20:26] from Wisconsin,

[00:20:26] so nothing's gonna get...

[00:20:28] It's one or the other.

[00:20:29] I'm gonna go to Clark.

[00:20:31] It's one or the other.

[00:20:32] So, yeah, are you...

[00:20:34] If you're making excuses

[00:20:35] for that person,

[00:20:36] are you then part of this

[00:20:37] victimization or

[00:20:39] whatever it is,

[00:20:40] or what do you think?

[00:20:41] It depends.

[00:20:41] Because I feel like

[00:20:42] when it's happening to you

[00:20:43] in the moment too, though,

[00:20:44] you still grieving low-key.

[00:20:46] It's like grief.

[00:20:47] You really going through denial.

[00:20:48] It's mad stages

[00:20:49] before you get to the point

[00:20:50] of like,

[00:20:51] oh, this really happened to me.

[00:20:52] So, yeah,

[00:20:52] you're making excuses.

[00:20:53] I'm not saying it's cut and dry

[00:20:55] when something happens,

[00:20:56] you gotta dip.

[00:20:57] But at a certain point,

[00:20:58] you need to think about

[00:20:59] am I happy?

[00:21:01] Anytime I'm talking about this

[00:21:02] to any of my friends,

[00:21:03] I'll be like,

[00:21:04] what do you like about this person?

[00:21:06] And I'll be like,

[00:21:06] name four things.

[00:21:08] What if they can't name 10?

[00:21:10] People,

[00:21:10] but it'd be superficial stuff.

[00:21:12] It'd be things that...

[00:21:13] That is a tough realization.

[00:21:15] When somebody asks you,

[00:21:16] what you like about this person

[00:21:18] and you stuck?

[00:21:20] You volunteering.

[00:21:21] You're just comfortable

[00:21:21] with having somebody.

[00:21:22] Because sometimes people

[00:21:23] are just comfortable.

[00:21:24] It's like,

[00:21:24] it's part of my routine.

[00:21:25] You wake up,

[00:21:26] go to the gym,

[00:21:27] argue with this nigga,

[00:21:27] go home.

[00:21:28] It's literally just like

[00:21:30] what you do.

[00:21:30] You don't even think about

[00:21:31] what's actually happening.

[00:21:33] The argument being a part

[00:21:34] of the daily routine.

[00:21:35] That's when you wake up

[00:21:36] and you're like,

[00:21:36] can we have a good day?

[00:21:37] Yes.

[00:21:38] No, no funny shit.

[00:21:39] That's crazy though.

[00:21:41] You should not be...

[00:21:43] Let's have a good day today.

[00:21:45] Yo, I got to tell you

[00:21:46] how to do this today.

[00:21:46] Yo, starting your day

[00:21:47] with a let's have a good day today

[00:21:49] is...

[00:21:49] Oh my God.

[00:21:51] Listen, listen, listen.

[00:21:53] In reading back the message,

[00:21:55] I realized how much

[00:21:56] of an asshole I was,

[00:21:57] but I didn't mean it.

[00:21:59] So...

[00:22:00] Oh, this is about to be bars.

[00:22:01] So she...

[00:22:03] I think I could...

[00:22:04] Of course you can.

[00:22:05] We know who you are.

[00:22:06] Nigga, do not delete.

[00:22:06] Don't do anything.

[00:22:08] Yeah, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[00:22:09] You just search the words?

[00:22:10] And now with this new iOS update,

[00:22:11] you can just type in the words.

[00:22:13] Yeah, all right.

[00:22:13] That's how I called him

[00:22:14] the second time.

[00:22:15] Oh, because you searched?

[00:22:16] Mm-hmm.

[00:22:17] So you searched the name

[00:22:18] or where'd you be?

[00:22:19] No, I went through keywords.

[00:22:20] So you definitely went through a song.

[00:22:22] So she...

[00:22:22] I don't want to say a word

[00:22:23] that Cheyenne hate.

[00:22:25] I did not look that word up.

[00:22:27] Pussy.

[00:22:28] Ew.

[00:22:29] Can you imagine?

[00:22:32] So no good morning,

[00:22:34] no nothing.

[00:22:35] The message just starts with

[00:22:36] wow.

[00:22:37] Whoa.

[00:22:38] Okay.

[00:22:38] Right?

[00:22:39] From another side?

[00:22:40] Yeah, from...

[00:22:40] Oh, man.

[00:22:41] I said, please don't start.

[00:22:45] Leave a negative

[00:22:46] in front of Act A's God

[00:22:47] for the new day.

[00:22:48] Listen, listen, listen.

[00:22:49] Please find a different outlet

[00:22:50] to release your frustration

[00:22:51] rather than start it with me.

[00:22:53] Right?

[00:22:54] So skim, skim, skim, skim, skim.

[00:22:56] I said, yo, respectfully,

[00:22:57] did you brush your teeth?

[00:22:58] Yo.

[00:22:59] Did you pray?

[00:23:00] Did you stretch?

[00:23:01] You antagonized this person, bro.

[00:23:02] Listen, listen.

[00:23:02] Did you pray?

[00:23:03] Did you stretch?

[00:23:04] Did you eat?

[00:23:05] Before deciding to have

[00:23:06] this conversation,

[00:23:08] just let me know.

[00:23:10] I'll ask you.

[00:23:11] Does it matter?

[00:23:12] Yes!

[00:23:13] Because...

[00:23:14] Why is the negative

[00:23:15] the first thing on your mind?

[00:23:16] Come on, bro.

[00:23:17] I'm just being...

[00:23:19] Imagine waking up.

[00:23:20] No, no, not even waking up.

[00:23:22] It's 816.

[00:23:23] I'm already at work.

[00:23:25] Probably mid through my shift.

[00:23:27] You know?

[00:23:29] And you wake...

[00:23:30] You wake up and just...

[00:23:32] Wow.

[00:23:32] You knew what the wow was about?

[00:23:33] No!

[00:23:34] So how could...

[00:23:35] What if it was a wow?

[00:23:36] Because why was it...

[00:23:36] When was it in the morning?

[00:23:37] I just got the best pedicure of my life.

[00:23:39] At 816?

[00:23:40] She just woke up, bro.

[00:23:42] It was at 10 o'clock.

[00:23:43] Wow.

[00:23:43] I just had an amazing...

[00:23:43] And you know...

[00:23:44] Let me tell you...

[00:23:44] I had an amazing yoga session.

[00:23:46] I don't know about y'all,

[00:23:48] but when women start talking like

[00:23:49] chat GPT

[00:23:50] and start putting their periods

[00:23:51] in a text...

[00:23:53] It's a toot.

[00:23:54] It's a toot.

[00:23:55] It's a toot.

[00:23:55] It's a toot.

[00:23:56] Why?

[00:23:57] Because I ain't gonna lie, my nigga.

[00:23:58] I love you to death, shorty,

[00:23:59] but you illiterate.

[00:24:02] Don't try not killing the BB now.

[00:24:04] Nigga, cut this shit.

[00:24:05] What do you say?

[00:24:06] Don't try not killing the BB now.

[00:24:07] Now you know words?

[00:24:08] Now you know words?

[00:24:09] Now you know words?

[00:24:10] When she start texting

[00:24:11] and you know she put the...

[00:24:13] She ran it through Grammarly.

[00:24:16] Like, you didn't do XA.

[00:24:17] I like this nigga.

[00:24:18] What are we doing here?

[00:24:19] Like, come on, son.

[00:24:20] Like, please don't talk to me

[00:24:22] like no secretary.

[00:24:24] Stop, bro.

[00:24:25] Stop.

[00:24:25] Stop.

[00:24:26] So...

[00:24:26] And I was right.

[00:24:27] I was right.

[00:24:28] Of course you was right.

[00:24:29] You was right, but I'm saying...

[00:24:30] You know your person

[00:24:31] and they just start off

[00:24:32] on some bullshit.

[00:24:33] So I agree with that.

[00:24:34] That, yo, please,

[00:24:35] let's have a good day today.

[00:24:37] It's seven days out of the week.

[00:24:38] Let me get at least

[00:24:39] three out of the four.

[00:24:40] But you also don't want to be

[00:24:41] in a situation where you have

[00:24:41] to tell your partner that

[00:24:43] I want to start the day

[00:24:44] by letting you know

[00:24:45] we should have a good day.

[00:24:46] I'm not going to lie, bro.

[00:24:46] I can't volunteer for that.

[00:24:47] Y'all should have more good days

[00:24:48] than bad days.

[00:24:49] Don't start your bullshit.

[00:24:49] And that's what you know

[00:24:50] you got to do.

[00:24:50] I can't volunteer for that, bro.

[00:24:51] Every day...

[00:24:52] Like, even when we talk

[00:24:53] about friends and shit like that,

[00:24:53] that's like, my nigga,

[00:24:54] every day can be bad, bro.

[00:24:55] Yo.

[00:24:56] Yo.

[00:24:56] I can't volunteer

[00:24:57] to have a conversation

[00:24:58] about something every time

[00:24:59] that's negative.

[00:24:59] My nigga, leave me alone.

[00:25:00] I ain't going to hold you.

[00:25:01] I'm never vented to Kojo again.

[00:25:04] I'm mid-vented.

[00:25:05] The nigga just ghost me, bro.

[00:25:06] Nah.

[00:25:08] See?

[00:25:08] That nigga said yo.

[00:25:10] He did it twice.

[00:25:11] See?

[00:25:11] Same day?

[00:25:12] Twice.

[00:25:13] No, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:25:13] Same topic.

[00:25:15] Same topic, but twice.

[00:25:17] So I'm like,

[00:25:17] he don't want to hear it.

[00:25:18] That's not true.

[00:25:19] I got to the phone!

[00:25:20] No, no, no.

[00:25:21] You see?

[00:25:21] It's funny you say that

[00:25:22] because in the same breath,

[00:25:23] we will get on the phone

[00:25:24] and talk about it for hours.

[00:25:25] But that's what I said.

[00:25:27] That's the last time.

[00:25:29] Never talking to Kojo.

[00:25:30] Really?

[00:25:30] About anything, bro.

[00:25:32] I care.

[00:25:32] I'm going to just send you

[00:25:33] the invite to any funeral

[00:25:34] I got to attend.

[00:25:36] Like, yo.

[00:25:37] Dang.

[00:25:37] That got dark.

[00:25:38] That got dark.

[00:25:40] Somebody just went down

[00:25:41] the friendship tears.

[00:25:43] Never that.

[00:25:44] Never that.

[00:25:44] No, but it's even like

[00:25:45] with the can we have a good day?

[00:25:47] It's like you'll sit there

[00:25:48] and realize

[00:25:49] we was only good

[00:25:50] the first three months.

[00:25:52] We a year in

[00:25:53] and we've been beefing

[00:25:54] for seven months.

[00:25:54] Why still?

[00:25:55] What?

[00:25:56] Seven months?

[00:25:57] A lot of,

[00:25:58] if you think about,

[00:25:58] when you think about

[00:25:59] the honeymoon phase.

[00:25:59] You still got two months to go.

[00:26:01] It could recover.

[00:26:01] It could turn around.

[00:26:02] You said you started off three.

[00:26:04] It's seven.

[00:26:04] People be too caught up

[00:26:05] in the honeymoon stage too.

[00:26:06] That's how you end up volunteering.

[00:26:08] Because you're chasing that high

[00:26:09] of like what it was like

[00:26:10] when y'all first met

[00:26:11] or how good it was.

[00:26:12] And then you're like,

[00:26:13] all right,

[00:26:13] is this growing pains

[00:26:14] or is this just not for me?

[00:26:17] Son.

[00:26:19] Dane triggered.

[00:26:21] Nah, that's it.

[00:26:23] You triggering Dane over there.

[00:26:24] No, but after that,

[00:26:25] yo bro,

[00:26:25] you want to think

[00:26:26] after that three,

[00:26:27] other three months,

[00:26:27] it's like,

[00:26:27] yo, my nigga,

[00:26:28] what am I doing here?

[00:26:29] It depends what the beef is though.

[00:26:31] It was,

[00:26:32] nothing is resolved?

[00:26:33] Yeah, for seven months.

[00:26:34] There's another problem.

[00:26:35] There's another problem.

[00:26:35] It's like,

[00:26:36] yo, my nigga,

[00:26:36] come on.

[00:26:37] But you know,

[00:26:38] people aren't good

[00:26:38] at resolving conflict.

[00:26:40] Conflict resolution

[00:26:41] and relationships

[00:26:42] are really lacking

[00:26:43] because people got

[00:26:44] different styles

[00:26:45] on how they handle shit.

[00:26:46] A lot of people

[00:26:46] don't hold themselves

[00:26:47] accountable for shit.

[00:26:48] So that's what I'm going to do.

[00:26:49] Oh, women.

[00:26:50] Sorry, Cheyenne.

[00:26:52] You said women?

[00:26:53] Yeah.

[00:26:54] Getting a woman

[00:26:54] to apologize

[00:26:55] is like pulling teeth.

[00:26:56] And I got my teeth pulled.

[00:26:57] So I think I could pull teeth.

[00:26:59] Cheyenne,

[00:26:59] do you apologize for me?

[00:27:00] Fuck no.

[00:27:02] Answer that for you.

[00:27:03] You know, Cheyenne,

[00:27:04] what's your apology bag like?

[00:27:05] You hungry?

[00:27:06] Like when you're

[00:27:07] No, I'm sorry.

[00:27:08] When you're the perpetrator

[00:27:09] of making somebody a victim

[00:27:10] and you're trying to deny them.

[00:27:12] Cheyenne,

[00:27:13] I'm sorry.

[00:27:14] Damn, nigga.

[00:27:14] I'm sorry.

[00:27:15] Fuck.

[00:27:16] Are we talking about me now?

[00:27:18] Yes.

[00:27:18] Oh, yeah.

[00:27:19] I'm sorry.

[00:27:20] That's it?

[00:27:20] What was you before?

[00:27:21] I feel like that one

[00:27:22] was a little bit better.

[00:27:23] I wasn't an apologize.

[00:27:24] I'd be like,

[00:27:25] man.

[00:27:25] Why were you like that?

[00:27:26] Why were you like that?

[00:27:27] I was emotionally unavailable.

[00:27:29] So I was just like,

[00:27:30] oh, this is silly.

[00:27:31] So if somebody was holding you,

[00:27:32] trying to hold you accountable,

[00:27:33] you just couldn't connect back then

[00:27:35] with like your wrongdoing and

[00:27:37] I didn't think I was wrong.

[00:27:39] Ever?

[00:27:39] No.

[00:27:41] I'm not going to lie.

[00:27:42] How'd you get there?

[00:27:43] 98% of the population.

[00:27:44] How'd you get to this point

[00:27:44] where you're like,

[00:27:45] shit.

[00:27:47] Sorry.

[00:27:48] Wait, I put on.

[00:27:49] Oh.

[00:27:50] Kwanee said no.

[00:27:52] Don't let her off the hook.

[00:27:53] Whatever.

[00:27:54] So did you ever

[00:27:55] know he was doing fuck shit?

[00:27:57] Yeah.

[00:27:58] No, no, yeah.

[00:27:58] And then said,

[00:27:59] I'm still not wrong?

[00:28:00] I'm not going to lie.

[00:28:01] I used to do things like.

[00:28:05] Talk about it.

[00:28:06] Can you just be as honest as possible?

[00:28:08] I am.

[00:28:09] I'm watching my words.

[00:28:10] I asked a specific question.

[00:28:11] Yeah.

[00:28:14] I used to just move like

[00:28:15] I'm not married.

[00:28:16] So I'm single and it's fair game.

[00:28:18] I'm going to just do what I want.

[00:28:19] Wow.

[00:28:20] You wasn't getting married

[00:28:21] with that mentality either.

[00:28:22] I mean, yeah,

[00:28:23] but I wasn't thinking about that.

[00:28:24] I was in my early 20s.

[00:28:26] I didn't care.

[00:28:26] Young, wild, and free.

[00:28:27] Like I didn't think like,

[00:28:28] oh yeah, this is my husband.

[00:28:30] I was like,

[00:28:30] I always looked at relationships

[00:28:32] like there was a time limit.

[00:28:34] It's finite.

[00:28:34] So I'm like,

[00:28:35] this is not going to be

[00:28:36] up for everything.

[00:28:37] That's tough shit.

[00:28:38] So I was like,

[00:28:38] I enjoy it.

[00:28:39] Like I enjoy you.

[00:28:39] This is fun.

[00:28:40] Like cool, but I didn't ever.

[00:28:42] I always just think about

[00:28:43] like my exit strategy.

[00:28:44] So I was always thinking

[00:28:45] about like how this ends

[00:28:46] versus like.

[00:28:47] She's in her bag right now.

[00:28:48] I ain't going to hold you.

[00:28:49] I ain't going to lie.

[00:28:49] You a sick nigga, bro.

[00:28:50] I'm not like that anymore.

[00:28:51] LA, you a bro?

[00:28:52] I was like that too.

[00:28:54] Why are you so pessimistic?

[00:28:56] Every relationship ends.

[00:28:57] Either we break up

[00:28:58] or someone dies.

[00:28:59] So I just used to always

[00:29:00] look at it like

[00:29:01] we either going to break up

[00:29:01] or one of us is going to die.

[00:29:03] That is some dark shit.

[00:29:05] Yeah, I'm always like.

[00:29:06] Y'all niggas is shooting

[00:29:08] niggas or something?

[00:29:08] 26 talking about.

[00:29:09] You got smoke?

[00:29:10] Damn.

[00:29:11] You used 26 second like this?

[00:29:12] No, no, no.

[00:29:12] I wasn't doing that 26.

[00:29:13] That was like 24.

[00:29:15] Nixon maybe something.

[00:29:16] That is tough though.

[00:29:18] Because we met, yeah.

[00:29:19] So by the time we met

[00:29:20] I was like a little more normal.

[00:29:23] Now I'm like way better.

[00:29:25] Yo.

[00:29:26] Damn.

[00:29:28] What's up?

[00:29:29] What did y'all stay for

[00:29:31] being in a victim state?

[00:29:33] What was it bad?

[00:29:34] Like situation brought

[00:29:35] some benefits to you

[00:29:36] but you were still

[00:29:37] in a victim state.

[00:29:38] It was stability.

[00:29:39] It was a stable

[00:29:41] victimized

[00:29:42] place.

[00:29:43] Yo.

[00:29:44] The fact that

[00:29:44] yeah I think

[00:29:45] I think women get a lot

[00:29:46] of flack for it

[00:29:46] but it's like just knowing

[00:29:47] that I wasn't going

[00:29:48] to be alone

[00:29:49] is enough to keep

[00:29:50] like

[00:29:52] who want to start over bro?

[00:29:53] The streets is nasty right?

[00:29:54] I think that's what it is.

[00:29:55] The starting over shit.

[00:29:55] Yo who wants to start over bro?

[00:29:56] The starting over?

[00:29:57] The slayer bro.

[00:29:58] I'd rather deal with

[00:29:59] the op I know

[00:29:59] than a new one

[00:30:00] I got to deal with

[00:30:01] another fucking

[00:30:02] another floor.

[00:30:03] That's not a fucking over.

[00:30:03] I don't think I have that fear

[00:30:04] of the starting over thing

[00:30:05] but I do have

[00:30:06] I probably have more

[00:30:07] of the fear of

[00:30:08] damn I might be alone

[00:30:09] for like

[00:30:11] another three

[00:30:12] four years?

[00:30:13] Yeah.

[00:30:13] You know what I'm saying?

[00:30:14] Especially you know your character

[00:30:15] you know how long it takes you

[00:30:15] to really like

[00:30:16] connect you selective

[00:30:17] about who you

[00:30:18] it led into your life.

[00:30:19] you have something

[00:30:20] that you think

[00:30:21] is worth it

[00:30:23] you might

[00:30:23] turn a blind eye

[00:30:24] just so you don't have

[00:30:25] to go through

[00:30:26] another three

[00:30:27] four years of being alone

[00:30:28] and you got to

[00:30:29] you got to go to weddings

[00:30:30] and maybe showers

[00:30:31] and you just like

[00:30:32] you playing all these

[00:30:33] things in your mind

[00:30:34] and you got things

[00:30:36] in motion

[00:30:37] and then

[00:30:38] this is gone

[00:30:39] cooked.

[00:30:41] that's why

[00:30:42] I'm saying that

[00:30:43] it's the best way

[00:30:44] to think about things

[00:30:45] but I think

[00:30:45] naturally as humans

[00:30:46] you just

[00:30:49] I don't want to be lonely

[00:30:50] right now.

[00:30:50] Or is this

[00:30:51] am I

[00:30:52] I don't know

[00:30:53] this may be kind of

[00:30:54] gaslighting yourself

[00:30:55] I'd be like yo

[00:30:56] is this an 80-20 thing

[00:30:57] like am I really

[00:30:58] about to dip for this

[00:30:59] and then realize

[00:31:00] out there is worse

[00:31:01] and I can't get back

[00:31:01] to this.

[00:31:02] Oh it's always worse

[00:31:02] out there though.

[00:31:04] What was your

[00:31:05] where your positivity went?

[00:31:06] What happened?

[00:31:07] Why didn't Mr. Positive

[00:31:08] just zipped out of here?

[00:31:09] Nah.

[00:31:10] For me it was trauma so.

[00:31:12] Oh just like

[00:31:13] a trauma bonding thing?

[00:31:14] Yeah.

[00:31:14] No because

[00:31:14] I just feel like

[00:31:15] yeah I can never see you

[00:31:16] trauma bonding with anybody.

[00:31:17] Well it wasn't trauma bonding

[00:31:18] it was about to get a little dark

[00:31:19] but

[00:31:20] Oh no.

[00:31:20] Oh no.

[00:31:21] Like

[00:31:21] You seen my apartment?

[00:31:24] Like around the time

[00:31:25] when my mother passed away

[00:31:26] all my relationships

[00:31:27] like placeholders

[00:31:28] so I was just like

[00:31:29] eh this is fine

[00:31:30] like this is distracting.

[00:31:31] Yeah so it was just like

[00:31:32] a placeholder

[00:31:33] and then you just got used to it

[00:31:34] and instead of like

[00:31:35] actually grieving

[00:31:36] I was just like

[00:31:37] I had something else to do

[00:31:38] and like focus on

[00:31:39] while I could still be like

[00:31:40] a little bit detached from it

[00:31:41] but it was like

[00:31:42] a thing that was like

[00:31:43] oh yeah this is like

[00:31:44] my little boyfriend

[00:31:45] in school.

[00:31:45] Yeah but you weren't

[00:31:45] mature enough either

[00:31:46] at that time too.

[00:31:48] For sure it wasn't

[00:31:48] which is why

[00:31:49] that was like

[00:31:50] my placeholder

[00:31:50] versus like

[00:31:51] going to therapy.

[00:31:52] Right.

[00:31:53] But

[00:31:53] yeah that's tough.

[00:31:55] Which I didn't do

[00:31:55] till what

[00:31:57] 10 years into my grief

[00:31:58] so it was like

[00:31:59] then you look back

[00:32:00] and you're like

[00:32:00] oh that's what this was.

[00:32:02] Was anybody

[00:32:03] your victim?

[00:32:05] I mean

[00:32:05] apparently.

[00:32:06] So the

[00:32:08] victimizer to victim

[00:32:09] pipeline

[00:32:10] was the

[00:32:11] route I followed.

[00:32:12] So I was like

[00:32:13] the victimizer

[00:32:13] then grief

[00:32:15] then victim.

[00:32:17] Yeah.

[00:32:18] Oh shit.

[00:32:20] Wait so

[00:32:20] so it went in the reverse

[00:32:21] for me.

[00:32:22] I wasn't like

[00:32:22] Wow.

[00:32:23] Yeah no.

[00:32:23] So you wasn't shit before?

[00:32:25] No.

[00:32:26] And then grief.

[00:32:26] So wait

[00:32:27] is that why he cheated?

[00:32:28] Because you wasn't shit?

[00:32:29] No by the time

[00:32:29] we got together

[00:32:30] I was like

[00:32:32] docile.

[00:32:32] I was

[00:32:32] that was

[00:32:34] land in the chair.

[00:32:34] I'm about to say

[00:32:35] what that you know.

[00:32:36] No.

[00:32:37] It's your fault.

[00:32:39] That was a tough

[00:32:40] motivation.

[00:32:40] No it wasn't

[00:32:41] a cheat back.

[00:32:42] It wasn't a cheat back.

[00:32:43] Did you get your look back?

[00:32:44] Do I know why I was?

[00:32:45] He cheated?

[00:32:46] Shorty was fire.

[00:32:47] Nah.

[00:32:48] Not even.

[00:32:49] Ah.

[00:32:49] Get out of his coming.

[00:32:50] Set your ass up.

[00:32:52] No I would have

[00:32:54] given it to her.

[00:32:55] It wasn't that.

[00:32:56] It was just

[00:32:56] it was too hot in the pants.

[00:32:58] Too fucky fucky?

[00:32:59] Yeah too fucky fucky.

[00:33:02] All right.

[00:33:03] He just wanted to slam dance

[00:33:04] Kwani.

[00:33:05] Slam dance?

[00:33:06] That is quote of the year.

[00:33:08] We putting that on the shirt.

[00:33:10] Oh my gosh.

[00:33:11] We should throw an R&B party

[00:33:12] and quote a slam dance.

[00:33:14] Maybe not though.

[00:33:16] Was I ever

[00:33:18] was I was a villain.

[00:33:19] Yeah.

[00:33:19] Were you a villain to somebody?

[00:33:20] Yeah.

[00:33:22] A lot.

[00:33:24] most of the

[00:33:25] not most recent.

[00:33:44] was a villain

[00:33:44] I talk about it

[00:33:45] on the spot

[00:33:45] so many times

[00:33:46] bro like

[00:33:47] Me a younger day

[00:33:48] Yeah

[00:33:48] I did apologize

[00:33:50] Yeah we tried to say that

[00:33:51] Actually I did apologize

[00:33:52] I apologized to somebody

[00:33:53] that I wasn't like

[00:33:54] The nicest to?

[00:33:55] Yeah

[00:33:55] Was he receptive to it?

[00:33:57] Yeah

[00:33:57] It was one of those things

[00:33:58] where years later

[00:34:00] we had a conversation

[00:34:01] and he was just like

[00:34:02] yeah I really didn't

[00:34:03] appreciate X, Y, Z

[00:34:04] You know why

[00:34:05] it took so long

[00:34:06] for us to do that?

[00:34:07] I ain't gonna front

[00:34:07] That was

[00:34:08] It took a lot out of me

[00:34:09] to be

[00:34:10] I apologize

[00:34:11] No no no no

[00:34:11] For us to say

[00:34:12] yo I don't appreciate

[00:34:13] your way you treating me

[00:34:14] I feel like I got

[00:34:17] one of those

[00:34:17] like in the tuck

[00:34:18] right now

[00:34:19] just holding on

[00:34:20] but

[00:34:20] In the moment

[00:34:21] it's like an old thing

[00:34:24] Like I didn't appreciate

[00:34:25] the way you treated me

[00:34:26] I'm lying

[00:34:27] I got two of them shits

[00:34:28] in the tuck

[00:34:31] Two of them shits

[00:34:31] in the tuck

[00:34:32] Why haven't you done it yet?

[00:34:33] I don't

[00:34:34] Yo bro

[00:34:34] Honestly one

[00:34:36] Nah nah

[00:34:37] Nah nah

[00:34:37] Not even that

[00:34:38] It's the person

[00:34:38] even gonna care

[00:34:39] You know what I'm saying?

[00:34:40] Cause it's kinda like

[00:34:41] yo you do all of that

[00:34:42] and they be like

[00:34:43] But what if it's for you though?

[00:34:44] Just to get it off your chest

[00:34:45] Then I don't need to say it

[00:34:46] If it's for me

[00:34:47] I don't need it

[00:34:47] I find a difference

[00:34:47] Yeah

[00:34:49] I'm preaching out here

[00:34:51] I journal that shit

[00:34:52] Yeah

[00:34:52] I journal that shit

[00:34:53] Like yo I don't

[00:34:54] I don't really appreciate

[00:34:55] like

[00:34:57] You taking my kindness

[00:34:58] for extreme weakness

[00:35:00] right now

[00:35:00] and I'm not dumb

[00:35:01] You know what I'm saying?

[00:35:02] I may not show it

[00:35:04] but I'm not dumb

[00:35:05] I'm hip

[00:35:06] I'm letting you go through

[00:35:07] your life cycle

[00:35:09] but like

[00:35:10] don't think you gonna

[00:35:11] pull me for a loop bro

[00:35:12] Like I'm gonna

[00:35:13] pull a wool over my ass

[00:35:14] I'm a little witty bro

[00:35:15] You know?

[00:35:16] So

[00:35:17] that one

[00:35:18] and then y'all mans

[00:35:19] that one might be crazy

[00:35:21] That's cranny mans

[00:35:22] but here's also

[00:35:24] here's also

[00:35:25] the second reason

[00:35:26] right?

[00:35:29] I guess the

[00:35:31] macho-ness

[00:35:32] that's a vulnerable thing

[00:35:34] yo I don't appreciate

[00:35:35] the way you've been

[00:35:36] treating me

[00:35:37] that's a very vulnerable state

[00:35:39] where you let somebody know

[00:35:41] like yo

[00:35:42] That made me feel a way

[00:35:43] yo you broke my armor

[00:35:44] like you cut through

[00:35:45] and I'm not showing it

[00:35:47] but you cutting through

[00:35:48] and

[00:35:49] to hold that up

[00:35:50] while dealing with the like

[00:35:51] the lashes of like

[00:35:52] the mistreatment of you

[00:35:56] that takes a lot

[00:35:56] for me that takes a lot

[00:35:57] because then I gotta let you know

[00:35:59] that you got through to me

[00:35:59] whether you intended to or not

[00:36:01] and sometimes I don't know

[00:36:02] if I want that person

[00:36:03] to have that over me

[00:36:04] because I don't know

[00:36:05] how genuine they are

[00:36:07] you know?

[00:36:07] So if they

[00:36:08] if they're sincere about it

[00:36:09] they may feel something

[00:36:10] like damn I'm fucking up

[00:36:11] but if they not

[00:36:12] then it's like

[00:36:13] another one

[00:36:14] like

[00:36:15] another one under the belt

[00:36:16] so nah

[00:36:17] I can't

[00:36:18] I can't let that be

[00:36:19] the Trojan horse

[00:36:20] Kwon's got something to say?

[00:36:24] We gotta get another mic

[00:36:25] for the next production

[00:36:27] So do y'all

[00:36:27] do y'all expect people

[00:36:29] to know how to treat you?

[00:36:31] Or do you

[00:36:32] No no

[00:36:32] if a situation happens

[00:36:33] Yes

[00:36:34] No but

[00:36:35] there is a decency

[00:36:37] that we all have

[00:36:38] as humans

[00:36:38] that kind of

[00:36:40] sets a base level

[00:36:41] so anything

[00:36:41] beneath that

[00:36:42] is pure foolishness

[00:36:44] like you know

[00:36:45] what you

[00:36:46] what you don't want

[00:36:47] so that's the bare minimum

[00:36:49] you knowing

[00:36:50] what you don't want

[00:36:51] like I don't want

[00:36:52] nobody to do this

[00:36:53] I don't want

[00:36:53] nobody to do this

[00:36:54] I don't want

[00:36:54] nobody to

[00:36:56] if you gotta

[00:36:57] pick between

[00:36:57] your ex or me

[00:36:58] go with your ex

[00:36:59] don't even put me

[00:37:00] through that motion

[00:37:01] bare minimum

[00:37:02] surface shit

[00:37:03] you know how

[00:37:04] you wanna be treated

[00:37:04] the learning

[00:37:06] is the

[00:37:06] okay

[00:37:07] how you respond

[00:37:09] to things

[00:37:09] so I don't expect

[00:37:11] anybody to

[00:37:12] know how to

[00:37:13] love me

[00:37:14] but

[00:37:14] know how to

[00:37:15] love yourself

[00:37:16] to know

[00:37:16] what not to do

[00:37:17] to other people

[00:37:18] what's gonna hurt

[00:37:18] you know what's

[00:37:19] gonna hurt somebody

[00:37:20] you know if I do this

[00:37:21] you gonna feel

[00:37:22] some type of way

[00:37:22] about this

[00:37:23] or if I do

[00:37:24] or if I did this

[00:37:26] if it's not okay

[00:37:27] for you

[00:37:27] don't do it for me

[00:37:29] so when I can sense

[00:37:30] you on that type of time

[00:37:31] you doing a lot of shit

[00:37:32] that you wouldn't be okay with

[00:37:35] gotta go

[00:37:36] now Kodra

[00:37:37] you said yes

[00:37:38] you expect somebody

[00:37:39] to know how to treat you

[00:37:40] yeah

[00:37:40] but he explained why

[00:37:42] once you hit that

[00:37:43] base level

[00:37:44] of just decency

[00:37:46] y'all building on top of that

[00:37:47] yeah

[00:37:47] anything that goes

[00:37:49] under that

[00:37:49] is

[00:37:50] it's either deliberate

[00:37:51] or it's a lack of awareness

[00:37:55] it's neglectful

[00:37:56] it's all those things

[00:37:57] so

[00:37:57] so in the right world

[00:37:58] this makes sense

[00:37:59] but we live in a real world

[00:38:00] where not everybody agrees

[00:38:02] with that

[00:38:02] or not everybody

[00:38:03] has the same basis

[00:38:05] then they're not for me bro

[00:38:06] cause then that's

[00:38:07] that goes to my

[00:38:08] my goal

[00:38:09] to my compatibility thing

[00:38:11] if you're not even

[00:38:12] a decent human being

[00:38:13] we're not compatible

[00:38:14] for friendship

[00:38:15] for

[00:38:16] for romantic

[00:38:17] you

[00:38:18] you just not

[00:38:19] a decent person

[00:38:20] like I

[00:38:20] in the real world

[00:38:21] I know they're not

[00:38:22] that many good people

[00:38:24] I

[00:38:25] I interact with

[00:38:26] all types of

[00:38:27] walk of life

[00:38:28] every day

[00:38:29] everybody

[00:38:30] got somewhere to go

[00:38:32] got something to do

[00:38:33] and they're thinking

[00:38:34] about themselves

[00:38:35] and you just benefit

[00:38:36] from their self thinking

[00:38:37] so

[00:38:39] the people who

[00:38:40] are out there

[00:38:41] who thinks about

[00:38:41] the next person

[00:38:42] and want to help

[00:38:43] the next person

[00:38:43] those are fewer

[00:38:45] in between

[00:38:45] cool

[00:38:46] but if you just

[00:38:47] a flat out

[00:38:48] bad person

[00:38:49] and I find that out

[00:38:50] that's when I walk away

[00:38:51] now if I stay

[00:38:52] that's when I'm the volunteer

[00:38:54] cause I've been

[00:38:55] I've been around

[00:38:55] some bad people

[00:38:56] and it was like

[00:38:57] they weren't bad to me

[00:38:58] until it was my turn

[00:38:59] for them to be bad to me

[00:39:00] but that's the thing

[00:39:01] though

[00:39:02] facts

[00:39:02] and that's

[00:39:03] I don't

[00:39:04] that's volunteering

[00:39:05] facts

[00:39:05] is it

[00:39:06] yes

[00:39:07] how

[00:39:07] yes

[00:39:08] let me tell you why

[00:39:09] if you stay

[00:39:10] if you stay

[00:39:10] if you stay

[00:39:11] if you stay

[00:39:11] if you stay

[00:39:11] if you stay

[00:39:11] if you stay

[00:39:11] if you stay

[00:39:11] if you stay

[00:39:11] if you have hope

[00:39:12] that's my thing right now

[00:39:13] no no no no

[00:39:13] for example like for me

[00:39:14] I only like to be around kind men right

[00:39:16] but kind period

[00:39:17] so it means like

[00:39:18] you're not just kind to me

[00:39:19] cause you're interested in me

[00:39:20] or cause I'm pretty

[00:39:21] let's look at shit

[00:39:22] let me guess

[00:39:24] but no cause men like that

[00:39:26] like when you have no value to them

[00:39:29] they're gonna treat you crazy

[00:39:30] so a lot of women are like

[00:39:31] oh you know

[00:39:32] I like my men who are not friendly

[00:39:33] I don't like men like that

[00:39:34] if you're gonna be rude to women

[00:39:35] that you are not like

[00:39:36] physically involved with

[00:39:37] I'm cool on you

[00:39:38] because that means like

[00:39:39] the minute

[00:39:40] that value

[00:39:40] you don't see it anymore

[00:39:41] you're gonna start treating me crazy

[00:39:42] I volunteered for that

[00:39:43] cause I know

[00:39:44] you have a track record of like

[00:39:45] not necessarily being the kindest guy

[00:39:47] if you're not

[00:39:47] if you don't deem this person worthy

[00:39:49] no

[00:39:50] Kwani come back

[00:39:51] cause you look respectful

[00:39:51] that's good respectful

[00:39:52] how do you explain that to women

[00:39:55] what do you mean

[00:39:56] as a man who

[00:39:58] well

[00:39:58] if a man who is

[00:40:00] person of one kind

[00:40:02] I mean

[00:40:03] I guess

[00:40:03] but if a man who doesn't want to

[00:40:05] who doesn't act that way

[00:40:07] towards them

[00:40:07] I like

[00:40:07] they're not like

[00:40:09] but the woman wants them to be that way

[00:40:11] how do you

[00:40:12] I see where Kwani is

[00:40:13] actually

[00:40:13] cause it's

[00:40:15] cause it's literally like

[00:40:16] someone would blame your brother

[00:40:16] so don't be in everybody's face

[00:40:18] don't be

[00:40:18] but it's like you're not

[00:40:19] yeah

[00:40:20] cause then that's

[00:40:21] then you get home

[00:40:22] and oh

[00:40:24] you chillin

[00:40:24] and you get her a drink

[00:40:26] oh is that how you get

[00:40:27] everybody else a drink

[00:40:28] or

[00:40:29] oh

[00:40:29] oh you just nice to all of them

[00:40:30] not even that

[00:40:31] what we doin' here

[00:40:32] there's like

[00:40:34] you uh

[00:40:35] you uh

[00:40:35] damn I don't wanna tell this story

[00:40:37] see but I don't operate like that

[00:40:38] so I don't even know how you explain that

[00:40:39] for a girl

[00:40:41] oh we just opening doors for everybody

[00:40:44] see that's a joke

[00:40:45] I took that as a joke

[00:40:46] but we be a serious

[00:40:47] hold on now

[00:40:48] now we just opening doors for everybody

[00:40:49] so now

[00:40:50] so now

[00:40:51] so now

[00:40:52] that's insecurity

[00:40:53] yeah I don't even

[00:40:54] I mean

[00:40:55] everybody's situation is different

[00:40:56] but like

[00:40:57] I'm not explaining that to somebody

[00:40:58] like

[00:40:59] what are you saying to me

[00:41:00] like

[00:41:00] cause now

[00:41:01] we don't even morally align

[00:41:02] you're trying to tell me to be

[00:41:03] not a good

[00:41:04] the person that I am

[00:41:05] like

[00:41:06] that's like

[00:41:06] that's like a man telling me

[00:41:08] you better not be on that podcast

[00:41:09] with

[00:41:09] with the niggas

[00:41:10] with the niggas

[00:41:11] and that's why

[00:41:12] yo bro

[00:41:12] remember what I said

[00:41:14] when I was like

[00:41:14] yo when we gotta think

[00:41:19] deal with the

[00:41:21] which one of them

[00:41:22] she fucking

[00:41:22] remember that's

[00:41:23] one of the main things

[00:41:25] any girl here

[00:41:26] any woman here

[00:41:28] because she is going to

[00:41:30] like

[00:41:31] any par that comes off

[00:41:33] a little too much

[00:41:34] or she jokey jokey

[00:41:35] or

[00:41:35] she gotta answer to her man

[00:41:36] I don't even deal

[00:44:47] towards the ending stage

[00:44:49] of high school

[00:44:50] that's when he actually

[00:44:51] tried to see

[00:44:52] right

[00:44:53] so cool

[00:44:54] when

[00:44:56] so

[00:44:57] I think

[00:44:58] prom was coming up

[00:44:59] so it was like

[00:45:00] alright

[00:45:01] you know

[00:45:01] whatever

[00:45:09] she's like

[00:45:09] she's like

[00:45:10] whoa

[00:45:10] we've been friends

[00:45:11] for all this time

[00:45:11] no that's not happening

[00:45:12] but in his mind

[00:45:14] it's like

[00:45:14] oh he don't look at you

[00:45:15] just as a friend

[00:45:16] like I can look at Cheyenne

[00:45:17] and just as a friend

[00:45:18] Cheyenne would make me

[00:45:20] jump off this roof

[00:45:20] so I would never date her

[00:45:22] I love that

[00:45:23] right

[00:45:23] yeah

[00:45:24] you're a sick motherfucker

[00:45:26] but at the same time

[00:45:28] you

[00:45:28] you're a closest

[00:45:29] friend

[00:45:30] who you tell

[00:45:31] everything to

[00:45:32] don't look at you

[00:45:33] as just that

[00:45:34] right

[00:45:35] so boom

[00:45:37] when I asked her

[00:45:38] about it

[00:45:38] she left that part out

[00:45:41] but my man

[00:45:42] Ruben

[00:45:43] who was the one

[00:45:44] who put me

[00:45:45] Ruben what up

[00:45:46] he tried to put me on

[00:45:47] I said yo bro

[00:45:48] what you know

[00:45:49] about her male best friend

[00:45:50] now her and Ruben

[00:45:51] like this

[00:45:52] so she told the whole

[00:45:53] prom story

[00:45:54] and all of that

[00:45:54] to Ruben

[00:45:55] so she left that out

[00:45:56] cause she knew

[00:45:57] how I would

[00:45:58] there you go

[00:45:59] so not all the male

[00:46:01] best friends

[00:46:01] is that a red flag

[00:46:03] leaving that little piece out

[00:46:04] well according to women

[00:46:07] what's the saying

[00:46:09] omitting

[00:46:10] omitting

[00:46:10] what is

[00:46:11] omitting information

[00:46:12] is still lying

[00:46:13] so yeah she lied

[00:46:15] liar

[00:46:15] that was a lie

[00:46:17] it's the truth

[00:46:18] she's agreeing with men

[00:46:20] on the podcast

[00:46:21] you got it

[00:46:21] cut this out

[00:46:22] hold on

[00:46:23] I feel like I've chosen

[00:46:23] Cheyenne, Khadija

[00:46:25] Ashley Mitchell

[00:46:25] as like my

[00:46:26] my women

[00:46:27] like

[00:46:28] best friends

[00:46:28] Naya

[00:46:29] like all of them

[00:46:29] like for specific reasons

[00:46:31] you know what's tough though

[00:46:33] when your

[00:46:33] when your women friends

[00:46:34] are pretty

[00:46:36] and when your women friends

[00:46:37] are prettier

[00:46:38] than your girl

[00:46:39] that's tough

[00:46:40] cause it's hard

[00:46:41] but who's the judge

[00:46:41] of who's prettier

[00:46:42] women

[00:46:43] they know

[00:46:44] that's within themselves

[00:46:45] no

[00:46:45] that's not

[00:46:46] that's not fair

[00:46:49] thank you

[00:46:50] yo bro

[00:46:50] my nigga

[00:46:51] thank you bro

[00:46:51] I would never think that though

[00:46:57] assortment

[00:46:57] of women friends

[00:47:21] exactly

[00:47:22] you think a woman

[00:47:24] that ain't your best friend

[00:47:26] they going through

[00:47:27] they haven't

[00:47:28] they have to

[00:47:28] they have to

[00:47:30] figure out

[00:47:31] they figure out

[00:47:32] the same

[00:47:32] thing

[00:47:33] remember when I told y'all

[00:47:35] um

[00:47:35] the argument I got over

[00:47:37] cause of Cheyenne

[00:47:38] I'll get in it

[00:47:39] remember when we all

[00:47:41] went to the uh

[00:47:41] the brunch spot

[00:47:42] and I tagged everybody

[00:47:44] but I didn't tag Cheyenne

[00:47:45] oh so you hiding her

[00:47:47] what's your relationship

[00:47:48] with her

[00:47:48] oh I'm gonna make it

[00:47:49] wait what brunch was this

[00:47:51] this was uh

[00:47:52] City's Hour's brunch

[00:47:53] but technically

[00:47:54] cause she said

[00:47:55] who you went with

[00:47:56] I went with y'all

[00:47:58] we met Cheyenne there

[00:47:59] I didn't go with Cheyenne

[00:48:00] and I didn't go with

[00:48:02] boy

[00:48:03] I looked so pretty that day

[00:48:05] I did

[00:48:05] I remember when I wore

[00:48:06] and everything

[00:48:07] so so

[00:48:08] when she was like

[00:48:09] who you went with

[00:48:09] I said

[00:48:10] I went with

[00:48:11] Preach, Kojo, Kwanny, Don

[00:48:14] and Cyrus

[00:48:15] how she ended up here

[00:48:16] and Cyrus

[00:48:16] then I see on Twitter

[00:48:18] yo niggas be lying

[00:48:19] about every little thing

[00:48:20] I'm like

[00:48:21] what the fuck

[00:48:22] did I do

[00:48:23] so I'm like

[00:48:24] that might have been

[00:48:24] a threat of

[00:48:25] you having a pretty

[00:48:26] best friend

[00:48:26] or friend

[00:48:27] in general

[00:48:28] that was around you

[00:48:29] but did she not know

[00:48:30] who I was

[00:48:30] she probably didn't know

[00:48:31] who I was though right

[00:48:31] no she's heard your name

[00:48:33] before

[00:48:33] but the fact that

[00:48:34] I didn't say

[00:48:35] I also said

[00:48:36] I didn't go with

[00:48:37] the person Cheyenne went with

[00:48:39] so niggas sneaking around

[00:48:40] exactly

[00:48:40] so why

[00:48:41] if it wasn't anything

[00:48:43] to keep away from me

[00:48:45] you would have just

[00:48:45] included her

[00:48:46] well

[00:48:47] imagine me saying

[00:48:48] to her

[00:48:49] what Cheyenne said

[00:48:50] to us

[00:48:50] well if you were to

[00:48:51] ask a clarified question

[00:48:52] I'd have give you

[00:48:53] a clarified answer

[00:48:55] I'd have turned into

[00:48:56] a Billy Goat too

[00:49:01] so

[00:49:01] so

[00:49:02] it gets tricky

[00:49:04] when your women friends

[00:49:05] are like

[00:49:07] hmm

[00:49:09] attractive

[00:49:09] that or

[00:49:10] quote unquote

[00:49:11] they look like

[00:49:12] your type

[00:49:14] wow

[00:49:15] that's so stupid

[00:49:16] yeah

[00:49:17] no it's not

[00:49:18] because

[00:49:18] it's not just

[00:49:19] like I said

[00:49:21] Cheyenne may be pretty

[00:49:22] but her personality

[00:49:23] we not compatible

[00:49:25] so

[00:49:25] I say all the time

[00:49:37] gorgeous

[00:49:38] her personality

[00:49:40] I would not

[00:49:41] last a second

[00:49:43] being her man

[00:49:45] that's her problem

[00:49:46] because now I'm on my Cheyenne shit

[00:49:49] that's your problem bro

[00:49:51] because

[00:49:53] you're not gonna

[00:49:55] hold on

[00:49:55] you're not gonna force

[00:49:56] an issue

[00:49:57] that's forcing

[00:49:58] that's forcing

[00:49:59] an issue

[00:49:59] if I'm telling you

[00:50:01] we're just friends

[00:50:01] and you're trying to force

[00:50:03] oh

[00:50:03] but that look like

[00:50:05] somebody you would date

[00:50:06] that's tough

[00:50:07] yeah you

[00:50:08] you're trying to find

[00:50:09] something

[00:50:10] I'm not here for you

[00:50:11] to find anything

[00:50:12] that's tough

[00:50:17] of your future situations

[00:50:18] I can't do it

[00:50:19] at this big age bro

[00:50:22] you talking to this

[00:50:23] my nigga

[00:51:37] but to be fair

[00:51:38] with the friends

[00:51:39] being pretty thing

[00:51:40] we live in a society

[00:51:41] that everybody

[00:51:42] for the most part

[00:51:43] treats people who

[00:51:44] are decently good looking

[00:51:45] at the same level

[00:51:46] y'all would consider

[00:51:47] yourselves all good looking

[00:51:48] we are dashing

[00:51:49] friends

[00:51:49] exactly

[00:51:51] I mean from my perspective

[00:51:52] people gonna do what they want

[00:51:54] if his female friends

[00:51:55] are pretty or not

[00:51:56] if y'all are being sneaky

[00:51:57] or not

[00:51:57] that's

[00:51:58] I'm not gonna know

[00:51:59] until I do

[00:51:59] and then when I do

[00:52:01] it's tough

[00:52:01] like I'm not staying here

[00:52:02] policing your friendships

[00:52:39] in front of me

[00:52:39] publicly freely

[00:52:40] you're done

[00:52:40] wait what's to work out

[00:53:13] the working thing out

[00:53:15] I'm not even talking about that

[00:53:17] on that type shit

[00:53:18] I think that's when you become a volunteer

[00:53:20] cause you're

[00:53:21] you're volunteering

[00:53:23] for

[00:53:24] you're signing up

[00:53:25] for the better of this

[00:53:26] or the worse

[00:53:27] like your

[00:53:28] marriage

[00:53:29] marriage is volunteering

[00:53:30] yeah

[00:53:30] oh my god

[00:53:31] no

[00:53:32] no no

[00:53:33] no

[00:53:34] yeah

[00:53:35] yeah for real

[00:53:36] I'm signing up

[00:53:38] this shit can go either way

[00:53:41] in this scenario

[00:53:42] I don't wanna get in deep

[00:53:43] in marriage

[00:53:43] cause that's a whole

[00:53:44] different debate

[00:53:45] but in this scenario

[00:53:46] where the working things out

[00:53:49] and I'm on the side of

[00:53:50] yo

[00:53:50] I don't like

[00:53:51] this already

[00:53:52] but

[00:53:53] I'm hoping that

[00:53:55] whatever you're saying to me

[00:53:56] is honest

[00:53:58] I'm asking all the questions

[00:53:59] I'm

[00:54:00] I'm

[00:54:00] I'm the

[00:54:01] question asker

[00:54:02] like

[00:54:02] yo

[00:54:16] exactly

[00:54:18] that

[00:54:18] that for me

[00:54:20] do I have that in me anymore

[00:54:22] probably not

[00:54:23] I think the last one

[00:54:24] was the last one

[00:54:25] the last one

[00:54:26] was definitely the last one

[00:54:28] I just

[00:54:28] I'm okay with being wrong

[00:54:30] I used to

[00:54:32] not be okay with that

[00:54:33] like damn

[00:54:34] like

[00:54:34] what if I gave up on this person

[00:54:36] too soon

[00:54:36] or gave up on this opportunity

[00:54:37] maybe I'm not trying

[00:54:38] maybe I'm not fighting

[00:54:39] maybe I'm

[00:54:40] you know

[00:54:41] how many chances

[00:54:42] I got left

[00:54:43] to find genuine

[00:54:44] sometimes you gotta protect yourself

[00:54:45] now

[00:54:47] listen

[00:54:48] I've accepted that

[00:54:49] if it's not in the cards for me

[00:54:51] then I

[00:54:52] listen

[00:54:53] I'll make sure

[00:54:54] I live the lavish life of

[00:55:17] facts

[00:55:17] what about you

[00:55:18] rest of y'all

[00:55:19] no

[00:55:20] you working out

[00:55:21] Quanny

[00:55:22] I'm gonna send you a picture

[00:55:23] right now Sean

[00:55:23] you working out

[00:55:24] depends on what it is

[00:55:25] Quanny's definitely working

[00:55:27] in I've never seen

[00:55:27] Quanny like this before

[00:55:28] I never

[00:55:29] yeah Quanny not letting this go

[00:55:30] I feel like

[00:55:32] I feel like he's

[00:55:32] I feel like he's strict around there

[00:55:33] he's establishing his footing man

[00:55:34] now Quanny's strict

[00:55:35] I know he's strict

[00:55:36] but he also

[00:55:37] he's a

[00:55:38] he gives me like

[00:55:39] I don't play that shit

[00:55:40] he sauce too

[00:55:41] but that's why he

[00:55:42] so y'all give him the benefit

[00:55:43] of the doubt

[00:55:44] he's soft

[00:55:45] but I'm strict and mean

[00:55:46] yeah

[00:55:47] yeah

[00:55:47] but then the body's all

[00:55:48] the way Sean acts

[00:55:50] people really think Sean is so serious

[00:55:52] this nigga don't take nothing

[00:55:53] and that's the thing

[00:55:54] that's so

[00:55:54] that's why I'm like

[00:55:55] sometimes I be like

[00:55:56] maybe I'm wrong

[00:55:59] I'm not a serious person

[00:56:00] I'm not super mean either

[00:56:01] I can be

[00:56:03] do y'all

[00:56:03] do y'all don't reserve the right

[00:56:04] to be like

[00:56:05] well I'm bad

[00:56:06] but I'm wrong a lot

[00:56:08] yeah

[00:56:08] do y'all not want

[00:56:09] the person to give you breath

[00:56:10] why you can't just talk bro

[00:56:12] you here

[00:56:13] yeah dude

[00:56:14] do you not want the person

[00:56:15] to give you breath

[00:56:15] what do you say

[00:56:15] you're wrong

[00:56:16] I'll say it all

[00:56:17] so then

[00:56:20] well I guess this is more

[00:56:21] of a question for

[00:56:22] like I said if you

[00:56:23] cause I hear a lot of like

[00:56:24] one and dones

[00:56:25] at this point

[00:56:26] nah I'm not one and done

[00:56:27] I mean probably now

[00:56:28] what I got

[00:56:29] yeah

[00:56:30] yeah probably

[00:56:31] so y'all not ever

[00:56:33] expect to be

[00:56:34] rowdy with anything

[00:56:35] in life

[00:56:35] I've been wrong already

[00:56:36] so then do you not

[00:56:37] expect someone

[00:56:38] to give you some

[00:56:39] grace words

[00:56:39] if you like

[00:56:40] not want it done

[00:56:40] with you

[00:56:41] as you are

[00:56:41] with everybody else

[00:56:43] yeah you seem

[00:56:44] want it done

[00:56:44] on a black surface

[00:56:45] first of all

[00:56:46] no Lashon is strict

[00:56:47] across the board

[00:56:48] you too

[00:56:49] no we're talking about

[00:56:50] like doing too much

[00:56:51] like flirting

[00:56:51] DMing

[00:56:52] my thing is

[00:56:52] if that's a hard line

[00:56:53] for me

[00:56:54] and you do it

[00:56:55] that's why I'm

[00:56:55] want it done

[00:56:56] cause that was established

[00:56:57] like yo these are

[00:56:57] my hard lines

[00:56:58] like if that wasn't

[00:56:59] a hard line

[00:56:59] that was established

[00:57:00] and it happened

[00:57:01] and maybe

[00:57:02] something got lost

[00:57:03] in communication

[00:57:03] that's a different situation

[00:57:05] but I make it very clear

[00:57:06] like what I'm not

[00:57:07] going for

[00:57:08] and then it's kind of like

[00:57:10] you did it anyway

[00:57:11] so you just want to test

[00:57:12] to see how serious I was

[00:57:13] I take that as like

[00:57:14] oh that's your boundary

[00:57:15] alright let's see

[00:57:16] let's see how serious

[00:57:17] you are about it

[00:57:19] like and I don't

[00:57:20] I don't like that

[00:57:20] too much

[00:57:21] DMing

[00:57:21] DMing

[00:57:22] DMing

[00:57:23] DMing

[00:57:23] Dane asked

[00:57:24] cause I don't know

[00:57:24] why Dane is doing this

[00:57:26] a listener question

[00:57:27] DMing

[00:57:28] are you okay

[00:57:29] with not getting married

[00:57:30] or settling down

[00:57:31] yes I am

[00:57:32] my life

[00:57:34] my life right now

[00:57:34] the way it's going

[00:57:35] I think

[00:57:36] uh

[00:57:37] if it

[00:57:38] like I said

[00:57:38] if it doesn't happen

[00:57:39] it doesn't happen

[00:57:40] what are you willing

[00:57:41] to work out

[00:57:42] um

[00:57:44] an individual

[00:57:45] going through

[00:57:46] their own motion

[00:57:46] in life

[00:57:48] like so I could be

[00:57:49] so I

[00:57:50] yeah

[00:57:50] if their life is life

[00:57:51] and my life is not

[00:57:52] I'm not

[00:57:53] corny enough

[00:57:54] to be like

[00:57:54] yo you gotta

[00:57:55] I don't

[00:57:55] I don't want to receive that

[00:57:57] for how long

[00:57:58] until they figure it out

[00:57:59] if they're doing the work

[00:58:00] to figure it out

[00:58:01] I'll say

[00:58:02] Lawrence and Issa Bubz

[00:58:03] so

[00:58:03] but see

[00:58:05] okay

[00:58:06] let's use that

[00:58:06] as an example

[00:58:07] she jumped the shit

[00:58:09] too early

[00:58:09] only to end

[00:58:10] yes

[00:58:11] absolutely

[00:58:11] let me tell you why

[00:58:12] you ended up

[00:58:13] you

[00:58:13] you left early

[00:58:15] and ended up

[00:58:16] with a nigga

[00:58:16] with a kid

[00:58:17] the same nigga

[00:58:18] who didn't have a kid

[00:58:19] prior to you dating him

[00:58:20] but he probably knew

[00:58:21] that character development

[00:58:22] he might have still been

[00:58:22] on that couch

[00:58:23] if they never went

[00:58:23] through what they went through

[00:58:25] maybe

[00:58:26] maybe

[00:58:26] but at the same time

[00:58:29] I can't imagine

[00:58:30] see

[00:58:31] that means you

[00:58:32] give it

[00:58:32] Easter credit

[00:58:33] for Lawrence's

[00:58:33] ascension

[00:58:34] I'm not saying that

[00:58:35] I said maybe

[00:58:35] he needed some

[00:58:36] destruction

[00:58:36] he was comfortable

[00:58:38] he was comfortable

[00:58:38] he had a crib

[00:58:39] he had his girl

[00:58:39] he didn't feel

[00:58:40] like he had to go hard

[00:58:40] but he was on his own

[00:58:41] he was still developing

[00:58:42] his what

[00:58:43] his YY app

[00:58:44] or whatever

[00:58:44] that he never ended up doing

[00:58:45] because he was like

[00:58:46] that's actually dumb

[00:58:47] what he started doing

[00:58:47] marketing

[00:58:48] he started working

[00:58:49] in tech

[00:58:50] but he said

[00:58:50] he realized

[00:58:51] he did not want

[00:58:51] to be a developer

[00:58:52] okay

[00:58:52] but he still

[00:58:53] okay

[00:58:54] so for me

[00:58:56] I would have

[00:58:56] if

[00:58:57] if

[00:58:58] if the woman

[00:58:59] I'm dating

[00:59:00] is quote unquote

[00:59:01] in her Lawrence era

[00:59:03] that's crazy

[00:59:04] right

[00:59:06] and first of all

[00:59:07] you're real

[00:59:07] so if a woman

[00:59:08] told you like

[00:59:09] your birthday

[00:59:10] let's just

[00:59:10] get a

[00:59:11] like a

[00:59:11] little

[00:59:12] take out

[00:59:13] from the Chinese

[00:59:13] spa

[00:59:13] and chill

[00:59:14] oh you

[00:59:14] you don't want

[00:59:15] to hear how

[00:59:15] I settled

[00:59:16] on my birthday

[00:59:17] I already know

[00:59:18] about O

[00:59:18] yeah

[00:59:18] so

[00:59:19] you can't

[00:59:20] but you care

[00:59:20] about your birthday

[00:59:21] I do

[00:59:22] exactly

[00:59:22] so that wouldn't

[00:59:23] really feel good

[00:59:24] to you

[00:59:24] it wouldn't

[00:59:25] but I would

[00:59:25] take the L

[00:59:26] on my birthday

[00:59:26] if they are

[00:59:27] in that stage

[00:59:28] that's what

[00:59:29] I'm volunteering

[00:59:29] for

[00:59:30] okay

[00:59:30] you know

[00:59:31] I'm volunteering

[00:59:32] to take

[00:59:33] these couple

[00:59:33] of L's

[00:59:34] while you

[00:59:34] figure your

[00:59:35] shit out

[00:59:35] for the betterment

[00:59:36] of the group

[00:59:36] yeah

[00:59:37] I will do

[00:59:40] that

[00:59:40] that

[00:59:41] so to answer

[00:59:42] that question

[00:59:42] Dane

[00:59:42] that is what

[00:59:43] I am willing

[00:59:44] to do

[00:59:45] it's not worth

[00:59:46] is nothing

[00:59:47] worth working

[00:59:48] out

[00:59:48] no there's mad

[00:59:49] things worth

[00:59:50] working out

[00:59:50] um

[01:00:06] there's a

[01:00:06] difference

[01:00:08] with somebody

[01:00:09] and somebody

[01:00:09] stalling

[01:02:04] look like

[01:02:05] like

[01:02:05] alright so

[01:02:06] if Shorty

[01:02:06] unemployed

[01:02:07] right

[01:02:08] and she

[01:02:09] unemployed

[01:02:09] for a year

[01:02:10] and a half

[01:02:11] but

[01:02:12] she's

[01:02:13] asked

[01:02:13] everybody

[01:02:14] she knows

[01:02:15] for a job

[01:02:16] she's

[01:02:17] remade

[01:02:17] her resume

[01:02:18] 30 million

[01:02:19] times

[01:02:19] she's

[01:02:20] interviewed

[01:02:21] and

[01:02:22] and I

[01:02:23] understand

[01:02:23] the market

[01:02:24] I'm not gonna be like

[01:02:25] yo you're a bum

[01:02:26] you're trying

[01:02:27] you're working on it

[01:02:28] you know what I'm saying

[01:02:29] what if she gets like

[01:02:30] me

[01:02:31] then shit

[01:02:32] see that's

[01:02:33] that's different though

[01:02:36] alright so

[01:02:37] I volunteered

[01:02:38] to be a punching bag

[01:02:39] for a while

[01:02:40] until the bag burst

[01:02:41] hold on

[01:02:42] I don't

[01:02:43] I don't think you volunteered

[01:02:44] for it though

[01:02:45] not physically

[01:02:45] cause that's domestic violence

[01:02:47] I don't think you volunteered

[01:02:48] for that exactly though

[01:02:49] right

[01:02:49] nah so

[01:02:50] so okay

[01:02:51] alright boom

[01:02:52] so I can give another example

[01:02:54] I dated somebody

[01:02:55] who lost their grandmother

[01:02:58] I volunteered

[01:02:59] to go through that

[01:02:59] process

[01:03:00] that grieving process

[01:03:01] I know what that look like

[01:03:02] I know

[01:03:03] I'm the closest in proximity

[01:03:05] so I'ma get the wrath

[01:03:07] there's some days

[01:03:08] where that wrath

[01:03:09] that shit

[01:03:10] alright

[01:03:11] ease up

[01:03:12] that one hurt

[01:03:13] you know what I'm saying

[01:03:13] you tripping right now

[01:03:14] but at the same time

[01:03:16] I knew this wasn't gonna be like

[01:03:17] a two year

[01:03:19] three year thing

[01:03:20] where

[01:03:20] you know

[01:03:21] I mean

[01:03:21] a two month

[01:03:22] three month thing

[01:03:23] where it's like

[01:03:23] I

[01:03:23] you know

[01:03:25] after the funeral

[01:03:26] that's when life really hit

[01:03:27] now

[01:03:28] everybody's gone

[01:03:29] and you're there

[01:03:30] all the time

[01:03:30] and

[01:03:32] the relationship

[01:03:33] is gonna take a hit

[01:03:34] you know what I'm saying

[01:03:35] because it's tough

[01:03:36] it's tough

[01:03:37] because you said

[01:03:38] you volunteered for that

[01:03:39] in a relationship

[01:03:40] with somebody

[01:03:41] who is dealing

[01:03:41] with grief

[01:03:42] is there any other

[01:03:43] way to

[01:03:44] you can leave bro

[01:03:45] well I wouldn't say

[01:03:46] you volunteered for that

[01:03:47] no you know bro

[01:03:48] you telling me that

[01:03:49] your partner

[01:03:49] can lose somebody

[01:03:50] you know you don't

[01:03:51] you telling me that

[01:03:52] you're part of

[01:03:52] can lose somebody

[01:03:52] in a realistic

[01:03:55] you don't have to go

[01:03:56] through

[01:03:56] yes bro

[01:03:57] yes

[01:03:59] it's fucked up

[01:04:00] but yes

[01:04:01] two losses in one

[01:04:02] is crazy

[01:04:02] yes bro

[01:04:03] because sometimes

[01:04:04] that's really fucking wild

[01:04:05] you gotta also understand

[01:04:07] wow

[01:04:07] that

[01:04:09] not everybody know

[01:04:10] what they signing up for

[01:04:11] so

[01:04:11] so what if

[01:04:13] I don't handle

[01:04:13] death well

[01:04:15] and I

[01:04:16] I don't fuck

[01:04:17] with death

[01:04:18] or my way

[01:04:19] of dealing with death

[01:04:20] I shut out

[01:04:21] and I don't know

[01:04:22] how to be warm

[01:04:23] towards you

[01:04:24] while I'm grieving

[01:04:25] while you're grieving

[01:04:26] so you took the

[01:04:28] you lost somebody

[01:04:29] you know we bros

[01:04:30] but I just suck

[01:04:32] at this shit

[01:04:33] like

[01:04:34] I don't know

[01:04:35] what to do

[01:04:36] I don't know

[01:04:36] what to say

[01:04:36] or when I took my

[01:04:37] I didn't even

[01:04:38] mourn my person

[01:04:39] I've just been numb

[01:04:40] to this shit

[01:04:40] and now I'm

[01:04:41] I'm just not there

[01:04:43] for you right

[01:04:43] I'm no good to you

[01:04:46] there's a

[01:04:46] yo bro

[01:04:47] in that way

[01:04:47] there's a realization

[01:04:48] when I think

[01:04:49] we also know

[01:04:50] when we're not good

[01:04:51] to a person

[01:04:52] like

[01:04:53] I'm not giving you

[01:04:54] the best version

[01:04:54] of myself

[01:04:55] I know I've been

[01:04:56] in relationships

[01:04:57] where I wasn't

[01:04:58] the best version

[01:04:58] of myself

[01:04:59] now I've never been

[01:05:00] unimp

[01:05:01] by the grace of God

[01:05:02] nigga always had

[01:05:03] a bag on him

[01:05:03] shit man

[01:05:04] yeah but I wasn't

[01:05:05] always happy at my job

[01:05:06] so I would bring

[01:05:07] work home

[01:05:08] and it would be

[01:05:09] a miserable thing

[01:05:10] you know or

[01:05:11] the money

[01:05:12] ain't where it's

[01:05:12] supposed to be

[01:05:13] or there's a level

[01:05:14] of lifestyle

[01:05:15] I want to live

[01:05:16] and technically

[01:05:17] this relationship

[01:05:18] is chipping at that

[01:05:19] because dating

[01:05:21] is expensive

[01:05:21] and if I was single

[01:05:23] I would be able

[01:05:24] to save more

[01:05:24] of my money

[01:05:25] but I can't

[01:05:26] just dump you

[01:05:27] because of that

[01:05:28] you know what I'm saying

[01:05:29] so you gotta

[01:05:30] navigate through

[01:05:31] all of that shit too

[01:05:32] so yes

[01:05:33] I can

[01:05:35] is it nice

[01:05:36] is it gonna hurt

[01:05:37] yes

[01:05:38] but you can literally

[01:05:40] yo I don't deal

[01:05:41] with death

[01:05:42] I'm sorry for your loss

[01:05:43] but I gotta go

[01:05:45] I can't lie

[01:05:46] to my partner

[01:05:47] my lady

[01:05:48] I'm doing to my lady

[01:05:49] I'm out of here

[01:05:49] that's a little crazy

[01:05:50] I think that's wild

[01:05:51] I hear you

[01:05:52] it is

[01:05:52] I would say yo

[01:05:53] I'm not good at this

[01:05:54] but I'm gonna try my best

[01:05:56] see like that's something

[01:05:56] I would work through

[01:05:57] I would work through

[01:05:57] someone with their greed

[01:05:58] I'm gonna try my best

[01:05:59] I might not

[01:06:00] I'm not the best in the world

[01:06:01] but

[01:06:02] I've never done it

[01:06:03] let me just put that on record

[01:06:04] I've never done it

[01:06:05] but

[01:06:08] I understand

[01:06:09] yo

[01:06:10] I say this all the time

[01:06:11] people do what's best for them

[01:06:13] and you gotta hope

[01:06:13] that you fall under

[01:06:14] that best God

[01:06:15] crazy

[01:06:17] so I lost my dad

[01:06:19] yo

[01:06:19] that this

[01:06:20] I ain't trying to exploit

[01:06:22] your pain

[01:06:22] but

[01:06:22] we gonna need that

[01:06:23] we gonna need that

[01:06:25] vocally

[01:06:27] so what LA's saying

[01:06:28] is not necessarily

[01:06:29] wrong or anything

[01:06:30] as someone who's lost

[01:06:31] their dad

[01:06:32] while I was in a relationship

[01:06:34] the person did

[01:06:35] think that I was being mean

[01:06:37] and things like that

[01:06:38] but I think it's just grief

[01:06:40] you go through things differently

[01:06:41] and you just

[01:06:42] it's just grief

[01:06:43] and you losing a father

[01:06:44] is

[01:06:44] that's also

[01:06:46] has been in your life

[01:06:47] that's

[01:06:47] it's a little crazy

[01:06:48] so

[01:06:49] if a person doesn't know

[01:06:51] how to deal with a loss

[01:06:52] or a loss

[01:06:53] as big as that

[01:06:54] I would have preferred

[01:06:55] them to leave

[01:06:56] as opposed to

[01:06:57] being a part of

[01:06:58] thinking of saying

[01:06:58] that I'm

[01:06:59] cause sometimes

[01:07:00] you can make things worse

[01:07:01] thinking you helping

[01:07:02] bro

[01:07:02] yeah cause if I'm

[01:07:03] if I'm just going through grief

[01:07:04] and I'm dealing with grief

[01:07:05] and then on top of that

[01:07:06] I'm being told that

[01:07:07] I'm being mean

[01:07:08] and I'm doing this

[01:07:09] and I'm doing that

[01:07:09] it's like

[01:07:11] what the fuck

[01:07:12] yeah like

[01:07:13] like you don't even realize it

[01:07:14] I don't know how to be loving right now

[01:07:15] yeah like

[01:07:16] so whatever you

[01:07:17] my thing is like

[01:07:18] yo bro

[01:07:18] I ain't gonna lie

[01:07:19] I ain't gonna lie

[01:07:19] I feel like we've been

[01:07:20] we've been through enough

[01:07:21] so it's like yo bro

[01:07:22] let me know what you need

[01:07:23] yeah

[01:07:24] you don't need nothing

[01:07:24] if you didn't sit here

[01:07:25] by the grace of God

[01:07:27] we know that

[01:07:28] yeah

[01:07:28] now imagine when we didn't know that

[01:07:30] and we had to go through that

[01:07:31] oh you alright

[01:07:32] get the fuck off me

[01:07:33] I know that

[01:07:34] I know when somebody is

[01:07:36] grieving

[01:07:36] that's probably the

[01:07:38] one of the most annoying questions

[01:07:39] you can ask

[01:07:40] you okay nigga

[01:07:40] no I'm not okay

[01:07:41] did you eat

[01:07:42] that's what you need to ask

[01:07:44] or that's when you need to change

[01:07:46] your

[01:07:47] love languages

[01:07:48] to ask a service

[01:07:49] just start doing shit

[01:07:50] to

[01:07:50] yo

[01:07:51] you

[01:07:51] wash they dishes

[01:07:53] even if it's they roommate

[01:07:55] wash the roommate dishes

[01:07:57] as a callback

[01:08:00] on the old episode

[01:08:01] I actually listened to that

[01:08:03] I know what you're talking about

[01:08:05] aww

[01:08:05] yeah she stayed guys

[01:08:07] I did

[01:08:08] that's when Sody was throwing beef

[01:08:10] and she was scared of her roommate

[01:08:12] this is getting out of here

[01:08:14] but um

[01:08:15] yeah you just do

[01:08:16] ask a service

[01:08:17] try to alleviate their stress

[01:08:18] you know make sure like

[01:08:21] just help them

[01:08:22] you know what I'm saying

[01:08:22] but if you don't know

[01:08:24] you don't know

[01:08:25] and sometimes people don't know

[01:08:26] so I appreciate that perspective

[01:08:27] yeah I just said

[01:08:28] cause honestly

[01:08:29] hearing it out loud

[01:08:30] I'm like

[01:08:31] how can you leave your partner

[01:08:32] yeah cause we thinking about

[01:08:33] the harshness of leaving

[01:08:34] but there is a genuineness

[01:08:36] of saying yo

[01:08:39] I'm not the person

[01:08:40] that you want me to be

[01:08:41] I'm going to fail you

[01:08:42] I'm failing you

[01:08:43] damn so that means

[01:08:44] the person who is leaving

[01:08:45] knows this beforehand

[01:08:47] and death is inevitable

[01:08:48] right

[01:08:48] it's going to happen

[01:08:49] yeah but people can grow though

[01:08:51] cause

[01:08:52] okay

[01:08:52] that's the volunteering

[01:08:54] how you grow without experiencing

[01:08:56] well

[01:08:57] they would have to experience it

[01:08:59] yeah I'm saying

[01:08:59] wait

[01:08:59] the person who has

[01:09:00] the growth

[01:09:01] growing to do

[01:09:02] has to experience death

[01:09:03] but what if you're saying

[01:09:04] actually

[01:09:04] I just don't handle death well

[01:09:05] I've dealt with death before

[01:09:07] and I probably don't handle death well

[01:09:08] how do I

[01:09:09] get better at that

[01:09:11] there's varying degrees though

[01:09:12] that

[01:09:13] that and

[01:09:14] I think you've been

[01:09:15] on both sides

[01:09:16] you've experienced it

[01:09:17] and you've had to

[01:09:18] help somebody

[01:09:20] experience it

[01:09:20] or realize

[01:09:22] what you should do

[01:09:23] in that experiencing stage

[01:09:24] you can't do it every time

[01:09:25] you can't run away every time

[01:09:26] yeah exactly

[01:09:27] it's not running away

[01:09:28] I just feel like

[01:09:29] it's not volunteering

[01:09:30] if you decide to stick with

[01:09:31] someone through their grief

[01:09:32] yeah that

[01:09:32] I would just say

[01:09:33] that's part of like

[01:09:34] that's more so

[01:09:35] just like the part of

[01:09:36] a relationship

[01:09:37] like those are the trials

[01:09:38] and natural things that happen

[01:09:39] you're not volunteering

[01:09:40] cause grief

[01:09:40] death is inevitable

[01:09:41] I agree with you

[01:09:42] I wouldn't call it volunteering

[01:09:44] now volunteering would be like

[01:09:46] if you lost your job

[01:09:47] you was unemployed

[01:09:47] for a year and a half

[01:09:48] you're not applying

[01:09:48] you're being me

[01:09:49] now I'm volunteering

[01:09:51] cause every time

[01:09:52] I get a promotion

[01:09:53] you got an attitude with me

[01:09:54] alright

[01:09:54] now I'm volunteering

[01:09:56] that's when I gotta start

[01:09:57] eating

[01:09:58] but

[01:09:58] alright

[01:09:58] that was a great episode

[01:10:00] that's how we had

[01:10:01] there

[01:10:01] thank you so much

[01:10:02] to the listener questions

[01:10:03] um

[01:11:37] it's 2024

[01:11:37] example of

[01:11:38] perfection

[01:11:40] I'm a year behind

[01:11:41] uh

[01:11:42] matter of fact

[01:11:42] I'm not gonna let people

[01:12:28] just you know

[01:12:29] I hope as

[01:12:30] as as

[01:12:34] dim your light again

[01:12:35] that really broke my heart

[01:12:37] this year

[01:12:37] I won't

[01:12:38] so never volunteer

[01:12:39] to do that

[01:12:40] for anybody

[01:12:40] except mom and dad

[01:12:42] they get

[01:12:43] they get whatever

[01:12:44] they gotta watch me show

[01:12:45] you see my crib

[01:12:47] they keep the lights on

[01:12:48] no I do

[01:12:49] I pay that bill

[01:12:50] I pay that bill

[01:12:51] what about you LA

[01:12:53] um

[01:12:56] people's indecisiveness

[01:12:58] yeah

[01:12:58] that's a big one

[01:12:59] this year

[01:12:59] yeah

[01:13:00] what about you

[01:13:01] quads during the day

[01:13:03] kill your dick

[01:13:09] I would just say

[01:13:10] not letting people

[01:13:11] get me mad anymore

[01:13:12] um

[01:13:13] you get mad

[01:13:17] yeah like

[01:13:19] I mean like work

[01:13:21] like work related

[01:13:22] like

[01:13:22] like I'm not gonna do

[01:13:24] more than you wanna do

[01:13:25] like it's just a

[01:13:27] we're both working

[01:13:28] we're both trying to

[01:13:29] make our money

[01:13:29] we're both trying to

[01:13:30] make a living for

[01:13:31] ourselves and our

[01:13:31] future families or

[01:13:32] whatever

[01:13:32] I'm not gonna care

[01:13:33] more than you do

[01:13:35] you know

[01:13:35] so

[01:13:36] I've done a lot of

[01:13:37] that this year

[01:13:37] where I

[01:13:38] overextended myself

[01:13:39] as far as business

[01:13:40] goes

[01:13:40] to make things

[01:13:42] happen

[01:13:43] in the grand scheme

[01:13:44] of things

[01:13:44] for the business

[01:13:45] sake yes

[01:13:46] I should have done

[01:13:47] that stuff

[01:13:47] but realistically

[01:13:48] everybody has to

[01:13:49] pull their own weight

[01:13:50] so that's what

[01:13:51] I need to lean into

[01:13:52] more

[01:13:52] like I said

[01:13:53] new year

[01:13:53] next year

[01:13:53] come on dang

[01:13:54] you can't

[01:13:55] you can't

[01:13:55] end the year

[01:13:56] another one

[01:13:58] um

[01:13:59] one side of

[01:14:00] relationships

[01:14:01] constantly

[01:14:02] I gotta stop

[01:14:02] doing that shit

[01:14:03] cause it's

[01:14:05] it's like

[01:14:05] exhausting

[01:14:06] into the mic

[01:14:07] into the mic

[01:14:08] into the mic

[01:14:09] my nigga

[01:14:10] I can't

[01:14:10] do that shit

[01:14:11] yeah

[01:14:12] one side of

[01:14:13] relationships

[01:14:13] it's like

[01:14:13] exhausting

[01:14:14] I got like

[01:14:14] better shit

[01:14:15] I should be

[01:14:15] doing

[01:14:15] it's just

[01:14:17] you know

[01:14:17] people are

[01:14:18] who they are

[01:14:18] but you know

[01:14:19] happy new year

[01:14:22] okay so

[01:14:22] one more thing

[01:14:23] I wanted to say

[01:14:23] what voice was

[01:14:25] crackling and shit

[01:14:27] one more is

[01:14:28] volunteering my work

[01:14:29] when I know

[01:14:29] I'm burnt out

[01:14:29] I'm not doing

[01:14:30] that anymore

[01:14:32] when I'm burnt

[01:14:33] out I'm just

[01:14:33] turning my phone

[01:14:33] off

[01:14:35] alright

[01:14:36] well

[01:14:37] you know

[01:14:39] we hope

[01:14:39] that everybody

[01:14:40] goes into

[01:14:40] this new year

[01:14:41] this was a

[01:14:42] challenging year

[01:14:43] I think for

[01:14:43] everybody

[01:14:43] in their own

[01:14:44] way

[01:14:46] the way I

[01:14:47] started the year

[01:14:48] pretty rocky

[01:14:49] can't lie

[01:14:50] but now

[01:14:52] I think this year

[01:14:54] it amped my

[01:14:56] faith

[01:14:56] a lot

[01:16:35] because it allows us

[01:16:37] three stops

[01:16:37] on the going

[01:16:38] and three stops

[01:16:39] on the back end

[01:16:40] so

[01:16:40] so we

[01:16:41] say if it was like

[01:16:43] Tokyo

[01:16:44] it would allow us

[01:16:45] to go JFK

[01:16:46] to Detroit

[01:16:47] Detroit

[01:16:47] Tokyo

[01:16:48] Tokyo

[01:16:49] to wherever

[01:16:50] so I'm like

[01:16:51] yo let's take advantage

[01:16:52] of it

[01:16:52] let's do a group trip

[01:16:53] we had a long year

[01:16:54] let's not waste it

[01:16:55] on Jamaica

[01:16:57] I've never been to Jamaica

[01:16:58] but that wasn't gonna be

[01:16:59] my time

[01:16:59] I love Jamaica

[01:17:06] we don't need our pod

[01:17:07] yeah

[01:17:07] bro we don't need our pod

[01:17:09] I joined the pod

[01:17:10] at the right time

[01:17:12] I love these benefits

[01:17:13] if she coming

[01:17:14] looks like her playing

[01:17:15] everything

[01:17:15] see no

[01:17:16] and that's

[01:17:17] that's

[01:17:18] weaponizing confidence

[01:17:19] on behalf of men

[01:17:21] damn

[01:17:23] that's really a thing

[01:17:24] for real

[01:17:25] I used to do that

[01:17:27] I stopped

[01:17:27] I stopped

[01:17:28] I've heard mine

[01:17:29] you know

[01:17:29] so yeah

[01:17:30] let's have a group trip

[01:17:31] this year

[01:17:32] let's plan it around

[01:17:33] at least somebody's birthday

[01:17:35] make it make sense

[01:17:37] wait

[01:17:37] end of this month

[01:17:38] no you don't

[01:17:41] oh okay

[01:17:42] I thought you said

[01:17:42] this

[01:17:43] where it makes sense

[01:17:45] you know

[01:17:46] everybody figure out

[01:17:47] their vacation time

[01:17:47] we all in the middle

[01:17:48] us at least

[01:17:49] yeah

[01:17:53] I had a wedding in May

[01:17:55] but

[01:17:55] we'll figure it out

[01:17:56] but I do

[01:17:57] I do wanna

[01:17:59] that's something

[01:17:59] I wanna do more

[01:18:01] next year

[01:18:01] I wanna live a little bit more

[01:18:02] like just not traveling

[01:18:04] for work

[01:18:04] traveling

[01:18:05] nah not even

[01:18:05] I think this whole year

[01:18:06] was just strictly survival

[01:18:08] so now that I survived

[01:18:09] I don't need to keep

[01:18:10] I don't need to maintain

[01:18:11] that mentality

[01:18:12] you know

[01:18:13] time thrived

[01:18:14] exactly

[01:18:15] so you know

[01:18:16] we hope everybody thrives

[01:18:18] next year

[01:18:18] and the first Monday

[01:18:20] of next year
