<v Speaker 1>Shadow Girls. I grew up near the banks of the

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Green River and in the shadow of the killer that

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>bears its name. Prosecutors described him as a serial killer survived,

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>but this podcast isn't only about tracking down the killer.

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.200

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>it's been a long time in the making. Uh. This

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>is actually my first time ever doing a like collaborative

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>podcast episode, which basically means it's gonna be a two parter.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.399
<v Speaker 1>You'll get the first half of it here today with me,

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and then you're gonna have to get the second half

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>of it on my guest or my guest co host,

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I should say for today's show, and I'll be on

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>honest to say that my collap is with none other

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:35.399
<v Speaker 1>than a mal my fellow, Michael to a podcast network family. So, man,

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get into a topic that a lot of

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>people talk about. It's been a lot of weird glorification

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.799
<v Speaker 1>about this particular topic recently, So we're gonna dive into

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>all of that. It's gonna get a little juicy. She's

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna spill some tea about herself and maybe I will too.

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:56.959
<v Speaker 1>As we talk about toxic relationships, right, toxic man, toxic women,

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>and we all know them, toxic people that we've had

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>or currently have in our lives. Then blood suckers. It

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>just suck all your damn energy. And usually it's worse

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>when some of you're actually dating, because it's just harder

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 1>and harder to get the funk away from that person.

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>So we'll get into all that, and actually we're gonna

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>hop right into it. So no for the people in

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the back and today's show, any other normal listeners to

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the show know that I do a bit of a

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>deep dive start off the show usually, but we're actually

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>just gonna hop right into me hence this segment of

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>our show with my partner for this episode. I'm excited.

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I got family in the building. Like I said earlier,

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>my fellow Michael through the podcast Network. Family here with

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>me right now, Mala Negra. It's good to see you,

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>gang ging gang. Good to see you. By the way.

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I love your energy. You're always lit, so you know

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Yeah, and I heard your podcast is

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>doing amazing the numbers. Listen, it's it's been good. I've

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>been enjoying this ride. I'm really having fun with it. Yeah,

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>that's we don't want me too. I am so grateful

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>that we do that. Podcast Network gave us an opportunity

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to really showcase who we are, be exactly who we

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>are and um, and I'm enjoying the right too. This

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>is something completely but I'm not completely but it was

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>something new to me. I actually really like it. That's

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>good to hear. I was. I was wondering because it's

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>definitely a little bit different. It's like still you expressing yourself,

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>but it's a little bit different. But I've been hearing

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that you've been getting pretty juicy on your podcast, so

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 1>I was I was hoping you could kind of bring

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>some of that energy over here just a little bit.

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 1>But I just want to know how juicy, how juice

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>can I give you? Let's let's just go ahead and

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>get get into it. I'm gonna tell my parents to

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 1>tune out right now of this episode, my mom, Hi, Dad,

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 1>I watch out of tune out of this one right here,

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 1>because we already talking about relationships, but not just relationships,

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>toxic relationships, right, Yes, yes we are, yes, and I've

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>been in a couple of those myself in my younger years. Ama,

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to speak for you, but have you

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>found yourself, you know, smitten by a toxic man on

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>an occasion? I mean, I think that every single relationship

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been in has been a toxic relationship, even or not.

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I've ever been in a good stable relationship,

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>even the relationship that I am in now that we

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of are, but not really because I don't know

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is going on? Okay, I think that

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, this started off as toxic and it's still

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 1>currently a toxic relationship. Isn't that trash? That? I mean?

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, let we gotta I want to dive into that.

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Now you're setting the stage for some real juicy this,

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>which I like, why don't we Why don't we set

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the tone first? What what would you consider like toxic behavior? Like,

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>when we're talking toxic relationships, what does that mean? Well

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>to me? In my case is like, if you're the

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>type of person that you're like, um, digging in people's

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.799
<v Speaker 1>phones trying to see their messages or whenever the phone

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>brings who's calling you or dad or like face timing,

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>let me see who's around you, that's toxic. Um. Obviously

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>not being able to have certain type of friends around

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm one of those though. That's one of

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>my topics. That's what I'm gonna ask you. I don't

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>have a problem you having friends like girlfriends, nor you

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>can have guy friends. We can have girlfriends, that's cool,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.679
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. But if your girlfriend has the fat ass

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.479
<v Speaker 1>and her tips is always out and doing all that,

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>no she has to go. We're not doing this, Okay,

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 1>So let's let's start there. Because you're you're you're touching

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>on a couple of my like, no goes. If I'm

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>being honest here, when I get into a relationship, I

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>can't deal with jealousy personally, okay, so let as you

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>suck your teeth. Okay, I mean why why do you

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of feel like that that's the case, Like, what

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>is it with your relationship? You feel like you need

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to draw the line there. I think that you know

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>what realistically, and I know that the girls can relate

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>with me. Girls, I know you hear me. I feel

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that's certain men know how to make you feel secure,

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>like you could be surrounded by a whole bunch of

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>beautiful women. I'm the first one to be like, damn, baby,

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>look at her, she's pretty, right, or like, oh my god,

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>look at her, butter, look at I'm cool as hell.

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a problem with that. But it's a

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>certain energy that your man has to give you in

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>your relationship to make it like it could be a

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of women knowing that I can admire whatever

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and not be like drooling or like breaking your neck

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to like because as a woman, we know what

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>are men like, we know what who can be your

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>type or not. So that's what I refer to. But Nikki,

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>because I'm a I'm an entertainer, I'm in the entertainment industry,

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm surrounded by men and women all day. Whoever's with me,

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you definitely can't be jealous. So it's just the energy,

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like whenever I have a man, I'm gonna let it

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>be known, this is my man. I love him, I

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>respect him, y'all can admire me, but at the end

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>of the day, he's the one getting all of this Becausten,

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you bring up, you bring up a great point where

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you talk about the man has to make you feel

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>secure and this is this is something I've just begun

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to learn now in my current relationship about where I

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>lack right. So I think there's a difference between a

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>woman who is just like out of her mind crazy

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>jealous at all times no matter what you do, and

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>then there's like the understandable aspect of it where it's

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>like you are not making your woman feel secure in

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>your relationship, so her mind is gonna end up kind

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 1>of drifting or wandering to some strange places. So let's

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about that from from your perspective. For like

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a dude, what are like the traits that kind of

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>make you feel like like is he doing something else

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 1>like that don't allow you to feel very secure in

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 1>your relationship? And girls, we already know this look saying.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>If you know what I'm saying, Okay, the flipping of

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the phone, the phone is always get turned down like

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the faces down, so whenever your phone brings, nobody can

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>see who's calling. Um, if you go to the bathroom

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and you take ten hours, first of all, nobody takes

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>a shape for that long. If you're in the bathroom

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 1>for like three hours and you have your phone and

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I see you on the WhatsApp or I see you

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>on the Instagram or whatever, yeah, it's a problem. Um.

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:20.079
<v Speaker 1>If you are hanging out with your homeboys more than

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 1>you are with your girl or not finding that balance,

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that's also an issue. If you all of a sudden

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>in front of your friends act a certain type of

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>way because you want to you know what I'm saying,

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh this is my girl. Now you have to always

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>show respect to your girl. Let it be known that

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you respect. The way that you treat the girls in

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the street shouldn't be the same way you treat the

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>woman that you're with. You know, Um, there's certain little demeanors,

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>there's certain little things that that women we don't appreciate

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>while being in a relationship with a manner dating someone

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that automatically makes us feel insecure, Like and I don't

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 1>know the girlfriends. That's another thing. Like I said earlier,

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 1>we don't have a problem you have. You know, all

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>this has been my friends since I was a freshman

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>in high school. Not my cool you know, all that

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>touchy touchy you guys just hanging Okay, we're going we're

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>all going together. Okay, okay, so is it? See this

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>is the issue I think I've had in a couple

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>of past relationships where they wanted to control my life. Essentially.

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you know what I mean, Like every

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>move that I made had to be approved by this

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>by this person, and that person was not something that

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I was able to deal with, you know. But but

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>control what do you mean control? Because that's another thing, ladies,

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 1>that's another thing. They'd be like, oh, you're trying to

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>control me. What is it that you felt that they're

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to control you? Like how I mean, listen, I

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 1>don't have to explain my whereabouts at all times necessarily,

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>like if we if we end up on the phone,

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>like you call me when I'm out and about and

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously like yeah, yeah, I'm out here hanging out with

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 1>my boys I grabbed the drink after work or something

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like that. But like, I don't I don't need to

0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>be like texting like hey, just so you know I'm

0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>doing this, just you know I'm gonna do this, just

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 1>you know I'm gonna do that. Where I've had past

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>relationships or girls that I was hanging out when I

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>was younger that were like trying to keep tabs on

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 1>me essentially and everything that I did. Yeah, well that's true.

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm not that type of girl because I'm

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>very busy, so I don't have that Like I feel

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>like that's the other thing. As women fambing, we need

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to make ourselves more busy. Make yourself busy and get

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>a facial start cleaning, washing clothes, and event that they

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>will do something, so that you're not like necessarily having

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>all this free time to be concerned all the time

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>about what your significant other is doing. At the end

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>of the day, when a man or a woman wants

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to do something, they're gonna do it regardless. So you're

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>spending all this extra energy and going crazy. Really isn't

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna make a difference. I don't care if Bay is like, oh,

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm out here with my boys went and we had

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>a drink. Old if I hear in the background, oh

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>no maybe, oh okay, Oh my god, I misses so

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>much FaceTime me right now? What if I'm just beating

0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 1>like the wing man from my friend, like he's trying

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to be single, he's trying to go pick up girls,

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just like hanging out, you know what I'm saying,

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>just being social to help him out. And then oh, al,

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>because you're the helper. I get No, you're the helper

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>right now? No, no, no, no no, And how do

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I know that that girl is for him and not

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>for you? See, you can trust. It's trust, though, isn't it?

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I know? I know? Okay, you know? Is you know

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>what it is? Women? We are protectors. We protect what

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 1>is ours would be? Is there natural nature to be nurturers?

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like once I give you my tought, once I

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>give you my my cookie, you belong to me like

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>your mother gave birth to you. So life happy. So

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>so it's like I shall protect this. And then once

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you do that, I think that a lot of times,

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>um guys can misunderstand that in the street. I'm not

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna say there isn't but my guys can misunderstand when

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the girl's being protective, when the girl's being concerned. Um,

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 1>sometimes girls is way too concer earned. But you know,

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>like for example, oh my god, I'm about to tell

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you something. I also said this on exactly I'm out

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>on my podcast, but um, I have a GPS in

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 1>my man's car. What do you mean the GPS in

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>your man's car? So what I happened was, so what

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I happened was I went to the I went to

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.679
<v Speaker 1>the to the cable store whatever, and they had a

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>who went too little packs and then I was just

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.319
<v Speaker 1>I always liked the text stuff. So it's like, oh,

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>here's the doorbell, here's the cameras, here's the security thing.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, oh my god, what is this

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, oh no, So this is like a

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 1>little a little GPS basically that you put inside your

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>wallet or your car or whatever the case may be,

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>your keys so that you don't lose it like that

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>off your phone you can just track it. And then

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, this is great. So I have

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>one in my wallet so just in case somebody steals

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>my wallet and know exactly where that I have one

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>in my keys and then I was like, let me

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>try and see how far does this app really work?

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 1>And then I went and one day he came out

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of the car to put gas, and when he went inside,

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I just dropped it. I dropped it inside the car

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 1>where he can't get it out. Even if he goes

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>cleans the car, you will never find it. And now

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I tracked him, well, I don't do it anymore, right,

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 1>don't do it anymore. I still have it in there

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have to change the batteries for like

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>three years. So it was perfect. What can we analyze

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and break this down just a little bit? And I

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 1>told him. I told him afterwards. But how did he react?

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>He he looked at me like he didn't believe me.

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I told them, because that's another thing women guys pay

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>attention to this. Women will be saying things and you

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>don't pay attention. It's like when girls say, oh, you

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>know what, I'm gonna go for your friend. How about that?

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 1>She actually may have said something that you got paid

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>at time, because I'll be like, you know what, I

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>would put a GPS in your car, Go ahead, I

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>don't care, Okay. So I actually did do it. And

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>then one day I was in the cart and I

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>just clicked the thing and again and it went bip,

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>just to let him know, you hear that I wasn't

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>playing is in here and then looking see I'm a

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>little toxic, right, That's what I mean. Listen, I was

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, but I think that there's hope for you,

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>because I want to know what is it about your

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>current relationship and your past relationship that drives you to

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>this type of behavior that makes your mind automatically go there.

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>To be honest, I think that he should appreciate what

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I did for him, really, yes, the GPS appreciate that

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>because I'm concerned about his safety in this world and

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to protect him. So you know, I

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>think that he should be grateful. Like God forbid, somebody

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>steals his car and guess who can find it? I can't,

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 1>So you should really be grateful. Yes, oh my god.

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, we got more with the Mota just a

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit. But first let's take a quick break, ache,

<v Speaker 1>and make sure you leave a review. All Right, we're back,

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.439
<v Speaker 1>and you touched on a couple of things that I

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 1>want to get into. And you talk about how a

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.120
<v Speaker 1>woman when she gives it up right now, the men

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 1>basically ohs or something, and I am I am an

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.199
<v Speaker 1>agreement with that because I think as men, we're just

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 1>at their fucking whatever kind of comes in our way,

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, staying back in my single days. I'm gonna

0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 1>preface that by saying, but you know, we're out there

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 1>just doing thing right. But for women, there is, obviously,

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>with society a lot more stigma that's attached to it,

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, when you're brought up your your

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>most people are taught to really value their body, especially women.

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's just the way that it is in society.

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna say, you know, there's right and wrong. Mean,

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously women shouldn't be shamed for being sexual and things

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.199
<v Speaker 1>like that, but just you know, when it comes to

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 1>the norms, obviously, there's a little bit more especially in

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 1>the Latin culture. Question. In the Latin culture, absolutely, so

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>there's a little bit more thought when it goes into

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 1>sleeping with somebody from the woman's perspective. So I do,

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I do understand that, But what did you say that

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 1>if you had any doubt about this man to begin with,

0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you probably should not have given it up to him. Then,

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I know. But the thing is about being a toxic

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 1>person is that you know what I really feel. Going

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 1>on a deeper level, I think that sometimes toxic people

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 1>attract toxic people, and we do that to each other

0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.879
<v Speaker 1>because there's a lot of healing that we have to have.

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>But there's healings from past relationships, your upbringing, your mother,

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>your father not being in your life. There's many things.

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>In my case, I live on realized that I was

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>always looking for men that didn't want me, and I've

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.600
<v Speaker 1>been very open about it. Any man that like if

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>there's a whole bunch of men and they're all like

0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>feeding for me, okay, but there's that one guy that's like, oh,

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 1>you're not really my type, and it's like, oh, you

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 1>don't like me? Why I must have you. So it's

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like that toxic energy. I also eventually understood and realize

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 1>doing some deep searchs that that comes from being a

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 1>fatherless daughter. Not having my father in my life always

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 1>made me have to feel like I need to have

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.239
<v Speaker 1>that acceptance from that man, and it comes from that

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 1>man that doesn't want me. And this is me going

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 1>into deeper stuff, like there's a lot of girls that

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 1>are raised without fathers, and even if you don't realize it,

0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>some of the decisions that you make when it comes

0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to dating comes from that. You know, you never had

0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that protector. So you deal with a guy that can

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 1>be that seems like he's a protector, but part of

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that is that he's rude or disrespectful or makes you

0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 1>put up with a lot of nonsense, and you're like,

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>he loves me, you put up with a lot of stuff.

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's not leave men behind. There's a lot of men

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 1>out here that, because of society and everything else, we're

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 1>taught or we teach them men don't cry, suck it up,

0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 1>be a man about it. And it's like you'll be

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 1>in these relationships where you know this girl is not

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.199
<v Speaker 1>good for you. You know this girl is sucking the

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 1>life out of you. She's like pulling you back from

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>where you really need to be. There's a lot of

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.919
<v Speaker 1>things that you really think about it deeply that is

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.360
<v Speaker 1>not just in a funny way of like, oh someone toxica,

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.919
<v Speaker 1>is like what happened for you to get to that

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.399
<v Speaker 1>point where you're okay accepting this, where you deal with

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 1>these things and it's like a regular thing. You know,

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>somebody from the outside looking in maybe like, yo, why

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.159
<v Speaker 1>are you doing this? Like why are you dealing with

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:55.239
<v Speaker 1>this person? And they don't even see it. They're like,

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>don't see was wrong? It's what I've done my whole life, right,

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 1>So Yeah, basically I think that's a great point. I

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>think even for me on the flip side as a man,

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I know that when I was younger and started getting

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>my name out there and people started recognizing my face,

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 1>it was like I finally was attracting all of the

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 1>women that used to turn me down in high school.

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>So I was like in this cycle of chasing after

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.199
<v Speaker 1>the girls that represented the girls that I longed for

0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 1>when I was a kid in high school, you know

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. So, and a lot of them were

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.200
<v Speaker 1>just out for hanging out with somebody who had close

0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:29.360
<v Speaker 1>proximity to celebrities or you know that they thought had

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 1>money or had connections and could get into the clubs

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and had the bottle service and all that kind of stuff.

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.359
<v Speaker 1>And I was okay with having some of those types

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:38.679
<v Speaker 1>of women around me just because it was like feeling

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.439
<v Speaker 1>this certain type of void for me. So I'm definitely

0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:41.680
<v Speaker 1>like I can relate to a lot of what you're

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:44.119
<v Speaker 1>saying as well. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying that

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes when we talk about Lato, you know, people being

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 1>foxicals or whatever, it's like it goes further than that.

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Now some people do O D and now I'm gonna

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 1>go zero to a thousand. Being foxical can be from

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>like you know, babe, who are your texting? Or like

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, looking at every single person, to like your

0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>man's or your girls pictures or you know that's still

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>a former being toxic, but it can go to the

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:13.199
<v Speaker 1>point where you're out here in jail based off being toxic.

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Like toxic can be cute like and then it can

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:18.639
<v Speaker 1>go from that to like I love you so much,

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna stab you and kill you. You You belong to me,

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 1>right right? Right, We've seen it in so many occasions

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and abusive relationships. We've seen it, you know, and vice versa.

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Men get beat up to Now let's I always like to,

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, give the credit. They've been in situations better.

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 1>You get to a point where you're with someone that's toxic,

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you're consistently waiting for them to change, because it can

0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.120
<v Speaker 1>be those little, little small moments where you're like, well,

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 1>she's toxic, but it's not that bad. It's not that bad,

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:49.439
<v Speaker 1>So you're in the morgue, you know, right, So you

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 1>have to also know when when toxic is too much

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>like to toxic, like right, No, I agree. I think

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:56.879
<v Speaker 1>it gets to a point where you have to take

0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>your own safety into consideration, like how bad is behavior

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 1>actually becoming and how much of an effect is it

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 1>having on my ability to live like a normal life?

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, Have you ever done anything like super toxic?

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Have I ever done anything super? I mean, I don't,

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I guess you could. I've been a

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>funk boy, definitely when I was younger, for sure, for sure,

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 1>for sure, for sure, was a bit of a fun

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>boy when it came to my dealings with women. It's

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.920
<v Speaker 1>not something that I'm proud of, you know, but definitely like,

0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:30.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, being that guy that like, once I finally

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 1>got it, you know, I was like, oh, now I'm

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>too busy to hang out, you know what I mean,

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and things like that, um and kind of. I never

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 1>thought I was giving big signals because I think I

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.159
<v Speaker 1>genuinely and my core am a nice dude, So I

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 1>always just give out good energy. But I think it

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 1>definitely gave out a lot of mixed signals for a

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:47.399
<v Speaker 1>lot of women that I just had the intention of

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>sleeping with and that they thought I wanted a lot

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>more from them, And it definitely caused me some some

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 1>issues in the past, right, No, for sure, I'll tell

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you some something toxic I did in my younger years

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and and I didn't think it was toxic to you know,

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>pokemua and a better understanding. So I was dating this

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 1>guy and long story short, I found out that he

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 1>was cheating on me because one of his girlfriends called

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 1>me and she was like, oh, who are you And

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, no, who are you, bitch? And she was like, oh,

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm his girlfriend. Like no, bitch, I'm his girlfriend. And

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.640
<v Speaker 1>she was like, oh my god. Wait there's another one,

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and I said, we didn't mean this another one and

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>then she called him in three way another girl that

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 1>was his girlfriend too, and there was three of us

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:28.639
<v Speaker 1>and we were all talking to each other. We were

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>so mad, but then we were like, we need revenge.

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:33.879
<v Speaker 1>So I ended up we all ended up blinking up together.

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 1>We showed up at his house. One of them pulled out.

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't drive back then, so she was driving. Um,

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:42.159
<v Speaker 1>she pulled out a bat. I popped all the tires

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>in his car. It was bad. And then she opened

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the door and banned the door. His mom came out,

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:52.400
<v Speaker 1>he came out. It was crazy. So I was like, wow,

0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:58.120
<v Speaker 1>is that really how my toxic days started? Probably? Um? Yeah.

0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:00.479
<v Speaker 1>And then also seeing things in my house else you know,

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.880
<v Speaker 1>my mom, you know, suffered from domestic abuse as well.

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Seeing those things unconsciously affect you and you don't even

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 1>know how it does. Um. So yeah, there's a lot

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:19.479
<v Speaker 1>of toxic relationships out here. ITAMBI. I don't know they

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 1>have it in song, but itica it is. So now

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>we're celebrating being crazy together. So do we see it

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.400
<v Speaker 1>in a good way or we're like, yo, we need

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.280
<v Speaker 1>to stop right. It's it's this weird thing. And I mean,

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's not just in our culture. I mean a

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>hip hop you have, uh you know a lot of

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 1>women rapping about like scamming men and things like that.

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Um and and kind of makes it like normalizing taking

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:47.479
<v Speaker 1>advantage of people and things like that. It's weird. It's

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't personally, I don't understand it. But

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely this weird cultural thing that we have about

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, bad behavior and embracing it. Yeah, for sure,

0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I definitely agree. Um and more now, more than ever,

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I think. Well, I mean I think men started like

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 1>during hip hop days and stuff, because during the R

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and B s it was like more romantic. But now

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>these days, um, you know, men have always been very

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:13.479
<v Speaker 1>open about you know, I'm just gonna smash and bounce

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:15.520
<v Speaker 1>like it's not even a thing, you know, I'm gonna

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 1>get what I wanted of this person and not know

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>how emotionally a woman can be involved. And now you've

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 1>turned a good girl into a psycho. And they're like, oh,

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:26.640
<v Speaker 1>you see, all bitches are the same. No, y'all did that?

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Girls don't start like that. It's like the same, the

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:31.560
<v Speaker 1>same way that a girl breaks a guy's heart or

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:36.440
<v Speaker 1>little boy's heart. After that, all hell breaks loose, you know.

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's like I really believe that that. Yeah, now

0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 1>we're just embracing it and uplifting it through music is

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:47.159
<v Speaker 1>a cultural thing. Being toxic, talking about taking advantage of

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 1>other people, you know, just oh my god, there's a

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 1>song I ain't gonna say which one it is, but

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 1>it basically says, get that and leave, you know, basically,

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 1>get everything that you can on to someone and just

0:26:57.800 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>leave and leave them hanging. And it's like, I get

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 1>it because some guys deserve it. Battle what are we

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:08.879
<v Speaker 1>really promoting? What are we really doing? Are we you

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:10.919
<v Speaker 1>wonder if it if it actually leaves us with like

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a fund up perception of what like love and relationships are,

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and like if if we're really I think absolutely, I

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 1>think here, I think I really love in my relationship.

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 1>It's by no means perfect, like we both have work

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:30.439
<v Speaker 1>to do, but it is a genuine thing where like

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 1>it is somebody who's genuinely supporting everything I do and like, uh,

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.639
<v Speaker 1>celebrating their my wins as if they were hers and

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and vice versa. You know, so I think it is

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 1>real now it's difficult, you know what I mean. And

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to do a lot of work

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 1>on yourself and you kind of have to change your

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:49.159
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle a bit if you want to find it. Because

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:52.040
<v Speaker 1>for me, my life was in the clubs and you know,

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>traveling and all that kind of stuff. You know, So

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:57.639
<v Speaker 1>being out and about in those environments wasn't where I

0:27:57.640 --> 0:27:59.199
<v Speaker 1>was going to find somebody that I was going to

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:01.360
<v Speaker 1>probably connect with on a deeper level, just because it's

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not like set up that way. You know, a club

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:05.719
<v Speaker 1>is not place to have a conversation with somebody. You know,

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:09.120
<v Speaker 1>it is not what it's being promoted. Because they're talking

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:10.880
<v Speaker 1>about like, oh, I want to get me this girl

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna be together and we're gonna crock together.

0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 1>To the anybody's saying that, it's like, oh and this

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 1>busines't work out. Next I gotool and then and it's like,

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>how do we promote, you know, a healthy relationship. How

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>do we promote being good together and not being crazy

0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 1>towards each other? How do we how do we get

0:28:28.119 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>into that positive space where you see it in movies,

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:32.119
<v Speaker 1>you see it on TV, you see it in the

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're hearing the songs, it's like, yeah, where

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 1>is the promotion of the positivity here? It is tough,

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>especially the industry that we are in, right because it's like,

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 1>it's it's exciting to see like, let's say a DJ

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 1>recap video and I have I have like a ton

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of girls in the booth and I'm getting drunk and

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 1>doing whatever. But like seeing me on my couch with

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>my girl on a Friday night is not that exciting

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 1>to watch on the internet, you know, and vice versa

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to you, you know what I mean,

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Like people would love to men want to fantasize about

0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>being able to date you, you know what I mean,

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 1>And they want to, uh, you know, see you all

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.080
<v Speaker 1>dolled up and sex up and not like chilling boot

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 1>up in the house, you know, on the weekends and

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 1>something like that. So it is difficult I mean for

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you though I haven't I haven't dated anybody like in

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:15.320
<v Speaker 1>a relationship that was in the entertainment space. But for you,

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>have you found that being a public figure has made

0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>it more to bring up I should say, has it

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>brought out more of your toxic traits? Um? Probably probably

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>because I'm sorry, I don't care what nobody says thought,

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh you love me and I love you Romeo and Julius,

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 1>not out of me, not prout of it. And so

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 1>they get the Prince Charming or anything He's gonna come

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>from the sky running a horse is not happening, you know.

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think that also growing up, we watched Disney,

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 1>We watch all these cartoons and all these da all

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 1>these fairy tales of what a relationship should be, and

0:29:52.920 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that's not what the hell it is. Relationships have to

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>go with failure, you have to put up with, you

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>have to have patience, you have to argue, then you

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>have to of each other as a whole. Bunch. Is

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a roller coaster of emotions and things that you have

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to go through to be able in a long lasting relationship.

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Every time you have an issue, y'all can't just break

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 1>up and give up because if not, in Thun said,

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:14.040
<v Speaker 1>where are you going, You're gonna be changing people, you know,

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:17.480
<v Speaker 1>every week. So to me, it's like love do foculi

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:21.719
<v Speaker 1>feci um. But there's no perfect relationship, and we've been

0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 1>sold this idea. It doesn't exist. You know, you have

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to work things out, and with the people being toxic

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 1>at this point, I don't know. I don't think it's

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna get any better because the way that society is

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>promoting it, we don't see um the love being shown,

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 1>and I feel that people are together because of convenience

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 1>for the most part. For the most part, it's like

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:47.000
<v Speaker 1>why benefiting? Then I get out of you and guys versa.

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a job? How much many do you make?

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Where do you what do you drive? Men these days

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:53.920
<v Speaker 1>are doing the same thing. Before it wasn't like that.

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Men used to just find a woman that would have

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:58.960
<v Speaker 1>nice hips because she had good hips, she could have

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, she could get a birth, too many children?

0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Those mindset you know, can you cook? Can you clean?

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you come from a good family? That was a mindset.

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Now is like, so what do you bring to the table?

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you work? You got money? What you do? Canphy

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 1>wife for Instagram type thing? Can you be my trophy

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 1>wife for Instagram? Physically? You know, I'm thinking for a

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 1>certain type. So anyways, it goes from all these perspectives.

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>So now it's no longer about real love. It's no

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 1>longer about I'm gonna ryan die with you. You know

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying to the bad so now you're just

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:32.120
<v Speaker 1>concerned about, like, I'm gonna be talking with this person

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 1>because I don't want to lose them, because if I

0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:35.760
<v Speaker 1>lose them, I'm gonna lose his money, or I'm gonna

0:31:35.760 --> 0:31:38.280

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 1>we are back with Madela Negra. You know, it's gotta

0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:45.720
<v Speaker 1>be tough though, because you are you're also in an

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>industry and and it's different for women there. They have

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 1>an even larger magnifying glass on them, like where people

0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 1>are constantly focusing on some of probably your biggest insecurities,

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:57.959
<v Speaker 1>even just physically, you know what I mean, like when

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 1>it comes to comments on social media. Right, so you're

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>already constantly existing in this place where you're being attacked

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and people are constantly trying to point out your flaws

0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and and make you feel sort of bad about yourself

0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 1>or insecure. It's got to be hard to not sort

0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of bring some of those insecurities into a relationship. I

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:18.320
<v Speaker 1>can only imagine no for sure, for sure, and I

0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:22.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously being put That's why to me, I'm setting you earlier.

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel the people think that I'm in like Sexy Launder.

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 1>I I'm just in the house and I want to

0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 1>be here with a grandma, with a grandma that represented

0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and with my grandma pantings and do my best life.

0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not like doing the most but what I

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.360
<v Speaker 1>do want to ask you is now that you've gotten

0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:45.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, people have gotten to know you. Um, now

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you you know, obviously acquire like a bigger fan. Based

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 1>on all these things being in a relationship, how much

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 1>harder is it for men? Because I feel like women

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to each of zom judgment free zone. But um I

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 1>women throwing themselves actually knowing that you're in a relationship. Yeah,

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's weird because I think I always say this,

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, regardless of you know, who the woman is,

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 1>every woman has a guy and her d M is

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:13.719
<v Speaker 1>trying to trying to at least smash you know what

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Doesn't matter if she's a celebrity, if she's

0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a teacher, doesn't matter, right, Um, but for men, even

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.240
<v Speaker 1>really good looking men, I'm not putting myself in that category,

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 1>which just generally speaking, good looking men have to do

0:35:23.800 --> 0:35:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of work when it comes to find,

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:27.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, talking to a girl. Like a lot of

0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the the sort of courting phase falls on men to

0:35:30.040 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 1>a degree, right when it comes to to like, you know,

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>making the first move and stuff like that. Um, So

0:35:35.040 --> 0:35:39.240
<v Speaker 1>it is weird to have women making it incredibly easy

0:35:39.480 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 1>to to basically sleep with them if you wanted to.

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:44.080
<v Speaker 1>And also so you like to put in the world

0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.400
<v Speaker 1>were not now because you already taken right back then

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:48.759
<v Speaker 1>you like to be the chase, not the chaser, but

0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to hunt. You like to put in the work. I

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 1>think the Yeah, I actually think that the work was

0:35:54.160 --> 0:35:56.400
<v Speaker 1>more interesting than like the sex itself, you know what

0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean. Like, I think that the idea of being

0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 1>able to find the girl, you know, have her interested

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 1>enough in me that she's attracted and she wants to

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:05.440
<v Speaker 1>hang out and do those things like that was a

0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 1>bigger payoff than these sex itself. The sex was usually

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.319
<v Speaker 1>like you know whatever, mediocre at best. I think that

0:36:10.360 --> 0:36:12.440
<v Speaker 1>casual sex is generally not gonna be great because you

0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 1>don't really know the person that well, you know. But

0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, the payoff was always kind of the chase.

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think for me now at this point in

0:36:20.160 --> 0:36:21.920
<v Speaker 1>my life, I had to have a conversation of like

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 1>our what do I kind of want to see my life?

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Like how do I want to see my life? As

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 1>do I want to be the dude who is constantly

0:36:28.560 --> 0:36:30.880
<v Speaker 1>searching for this high from outside people? You know what

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Like women and trying to go to the

0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:35.359
<v Speaker 1>bars and take home women because I've talked this before,

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:37.520
<v Speaker 1>but like for me, a lot of times, it became

0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:40.120
<v Speaker 1>going out with my friends. It would be like a

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 1>disappointing night if I didn't take a girl home with me,

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, And like I wouldn't have

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:46.360
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed my night, you know, So it just became a

0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:49.480
<v Speaker 1>game to me, and I had to have a real conversation, like, yo,

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:52.800
<v Speaker 1>do you want to actually build something substantial, have somebody

0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:55.200
<v Speaker 1>that you can you know, work with the long term,

0:36:55.360 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>or do you want to live this life for your

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:58.919
<v Speaker 1>constantly just chasing after something that really is never gonna

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:01.440
<v Speaker 1>be fulfilling. Let me ask you this drama because you know,

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I've never had a dick, right, but okay, if I

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:06.440
<v Speaker 1>had a dick or whatever, Like I don't get it

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:09.479
<v Speaker 1>because maybe I'm a girl and I think I'm a woman.

0:37:09.920 --> 0:37:13.359
<v Speaker 1>I think too deep into it, But like, I don't know,

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>how do guys go to the club, go to whatever,

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:18.360
<v Speaker 1>take a girl to him, even if you put on,

0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, a condom or whatever, which I'm sure that

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of men don't do. But let's say you

0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:26.239
<v Speaker 1>put on a corn or whatever. And don't say you

0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>have all those juices. I eat your balls and your thighs.

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I e I. You don't even know who this girl is.

0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>You're like case in her goal as to it's all

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:39.359
<v Speaker 1>juicy and wet. I eat, but you just look good.

0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:42.759
<v Speaker 1>So after you're done, because as a woman personally, I've

0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:47.239
<v Speaker 1>never had a one night stand, take me out, feed me,

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 1>talk to me on this crap that I know you're

0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:53.080
<v Speaker 1>lying all this thing and after okay, fine, I'll give

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:55.400
<v Speaker 1>it to you. But for women, a lot of times

0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>after you have one day since where after you do

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:59.520
<v Speaker 1>these things, you feel come okay, saa you feel use

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:06.120
<v Speaker 1>me for men is like, nah, you know what I'm saying.

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I just did what I did. Like I don't. Yeah,

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel you don't feel nothing when you put it

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:13.960
<v Speaker 1>that way. I feel gross about it, Yeah, of course

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:16.919
<v Speaker 1>when like, but you know, I'm not actively it wasn't

0:38:16.960 --> 0:38:19.759
<v Speaker 1>actively thinking about that, you know, and a lot of

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:23.040
<v Speaker 1>men don't either. But but the thing is now like

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>removed from it. I'm like, yo, like, I am really

0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>really lucky that my behavior back then didn't end in

0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh ship std S didn't end in you know,

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:38.040
<v Speaker 1>getting involved with the wrong woman who like totally did

0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:40.880
<v Speaker 1>something that would ruin my career, ruin my life, um,

0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:43.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, or or getting somebody pregnant or something any

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 1>any of the things that could happen when you're sexually

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 1>involved with people or intimately involved in any way. I'm

0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:50.839
<v Speaker 1>very fortunate of that, you know. And that's also like

0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a big reason why I'm happy to be in this

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:55.760
<v Speaker 1>phase of my life because those are no longer things

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:58.320
<v Speaker 1>that I have to worry about, and my life is

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot more peaceful, you know when I think about

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:01.719
<v Speaker 1>it in that way of like not having to be

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:06.440
<v Speaker 1>concerned with those kinds of things. Um So for the

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>guys out there that are going through that stage right

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:13.480
<v Speaker 1>now and they're living it up, you know what I'm saying,

0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 1>free balls damn the way. Why everywhere, especially during the pandemic.

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:24.240
<v Speaker 1>During the pandemic, there was a lot of during the pandemic,

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:27.719
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of people were just like, you

0:39:27.719 --> 0:39:29.319
<v Speaker 1>know what, we're born. Let me just call my ex

0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 1>girlfriendlet me call that girl that I never called back,

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and let me see if I can get some um,

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:36.200
<v Speaker 1>if you could give an advice, knowing where you're at now,

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:38.640
<v Speaker 1>been there, done that, I'm in a different place in life.

0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:40.640
<v Speaker 1>What advice would you give to the guys right now

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 1>they're going through that stage. I don't. I don't think

0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:45.239
<v Speaker 1>it's worth it. I think that you're trying to, you know,

0:39:45.320 --> 0:39:48.040
<v Speaker 1>fulfill a whole that you avoid, that you have that

0:39:48.040 --> 0:39:49.799
<v Speaker 1>could be fulfilled more healthily, you know. I mean, like,

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's any man out there. And we

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 1>can all be tough guys and say we don't feel anything,

0:39:54.000 --> 0:39:56.560
<v Speaker 1>but like, there's no dude out there that doesn't you know,

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:59.319
<v Speaker 1>feel empty after a one night stand when you're still

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 1>alone and your life is still going through whatever you're

0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:03.920
<v Speaker 1>going through, you know what I'm saying. And the beauty

0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 1>is that when you are able to move on and

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 1>grow up and find somebody, you're in a much more

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:11.600
<v Speaker 1>settled place that you can not have that feeling of

0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 1>being alone, you know what I'm saying, Like, like, there's

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 1>something beautiful about growing up and enjoying the other aspects

0:40:17.640 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of life, right it really is. And and you know,

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:23.840
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of men talk about this, want to

0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:26.160
<v Speaker 1>be vulnerable about things, but like, yo, there's something beautiful

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to just have somebody who's like your partner in crime

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.239
<v Speaker 1>throughout everything. And and that's an exciting thing. I think.

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Another thing for me was like flipping the script of

0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the adrenaline rush that came from trying to get other women,

0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:41.840
<v Speaker 1>but then kind of flipping that into how can I

0:40:41.920 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 1>consistently do things to make my my girlfriend happy? Right?

0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Like that's my rush? Now you know what I'm saying,

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Like you have to create these games. I think in

0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:51.080
<v Speaker 1>your head, I think that as as you're you're rolling

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:53.239
<v Speaker 1>your eyes and me, that's a real thing. No, I

0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:55.759
<v Speaker 1>believe that. But then now I have a question though,

0:40:56.400 --> 0:41:00.799
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of times, at times when you're in

0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a relationship or you're with someone already, it doesn't mean

0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that you still don't want to feel you're still wanted

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the streets. So, yeah, do you be answering

0:41:12.680 --> 0:41:16.040
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, hey, do you be answering some of the dms?

0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Just like, hey, oh thank you? You You know what I'm saying.

0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you still answer even though you don't want anything

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.400
<v Speaker 1>with them? But do you still like to be pursued

0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:25.920
<v Speaker 1>by other women knowing you love your girl? This is

0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:29.840
<v Speaker 1>your main No? I see, I don't answer them. I

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 1>don't answer those d ms. I'm for real, for real

0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 1>on that one. If somebody DMS me like, YO, you

0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>look good, you all want to hang out? Like whatever,

0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't respond to those dms. If somebody and this

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 1>is a matter of woman, if somebody DM and it's like, um,

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the man in there too, they'd be trying to yeah

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:50.359
<v Speaker 1>you have you have some dudes. But like but it's

0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:52.399
<v Speaker 1>like regular dms, like somebody's like yo, I really funk

0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:54.839
<v Speaker 1>with that last podcast episode or I like this. I'll

0:41:54.840 --> 0:41:57.719
<v Speaker 1>respond to those, but anything that has to do with

0:41:57.800 --> 0:41:59.960
<v Speaker 1>like somebody flirting with me, I'm not going to put

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 1>myself in a position where potentially I could funk up

0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 1>everything that I have going on right now. That's because

0:42:05.239 --> 0:42:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what social media will do. Though. Make sure

0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:11.439
<v Speaker 1>that you're like all things. Isn't that screenshop? Oh my god,

0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:14.160
<v Speaker 1>John wasn't trying to get with me? And then they

0:42:14.160 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 1>start a whole situation. Absolutely, and listen, I want to

0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to flip the script a little We've been

0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:22.840
<v Speaker 1>talking a lot about me and my perspective with toxic women.

0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about you and your experience with

0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:31.880

<v Speaker 1>y'all's take, of course, in our ask a Gringle segment

<v Speaker 1>as alright, and y'all know I had to get your opinion.

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I had to have you wait in on this conversation.

0:43:38.680 --> 0:43:42.720
<v Speaker 1>So any new followers at DJ Dramas. I always post

0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a question on my Instagram where I want to get

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:48.759
<v Speaker 1>y'all involved in the conversation. I want to get your

0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:52.319
<v Speaker 1>opinion on all that we are talking about. So at

0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:55.000
<v Speaker 1>DJ Dramas on Instagram, you'll see it in my stories

0:43:55.320 --> 0:43:57.880
<v Speaker 1>where I'll ask the question, you can participate in the show,

0:43:57.920 --> 0:44:00.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'll read it on the on the air. Now,

0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:04.120
<v Speaker 1>let's see. For today's conversation, I simply just ask people,

0:44:04.800 --> 0:44:09.800
<v Speaker 1>have you had a toxic relationship and what made it toxic?

0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:12.839
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna get into a few y'alls responses. So

0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I got a few on this topic and that, of course,

0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:18.959
<v Speaker 1>it is cheating. At Silly Underscore, t Underscore eighty five

0:44:19.000 --> 0:44:22.759
<v Speaker 1>said trust was gone after he cheated and it went downhill.

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:25.200
<v Speaker 1>And now the flip side of that, my guy, the

0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Young Philosopher at the Young Philosopher says cheating which leads

0:44:29.360 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to lying and distrust. And that's the fact I mean,

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:38.640
<v Speaker 1>in all honesty, I've never cheated in any relationship that

0:44:38.719 --> 0:44:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I have ever been in. It's something that I hold

0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 1>very near and dear my heart. I just personal view

0:44:44.719 --> 0:44:47.960
<v Speaker 1>it as the ultimate sign of disrespect and listen, I

0:44:48.000 --> 0:44:50.919
<v Speaker 1>get it. We all make mistakes, um, in this life,

0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:54.319
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not here to judge anybody for any indiscretion

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:56.840
<v Speaker 1>they may have had in previous relationships or in the

0:44:56.880 --> 0:44:59.560
<v Speaker 1>current one. Hopefully you know you you learned a lesson

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and you know didn't repeat your mistakes. But yeah, with

0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:04.880
<v Speaker 1>that said to me, again, the ultimate side of disrespect

0:45:05.239 --> 0:45:08.319
<v Speaker 1>is cheating. And somebody who's willing to go that far

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and to throw your relationship essentially out the window and

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.080
<v Speaker 1>disrespect you in that way, I mean, it says a

0:45:14.080 --> 0:45:16.239
<v Speaker 1>lot about what they think about you, I feel like,

0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:19.080
<v Speaker 1>or how much they value the current relationship. And again

0:45:19.120 --> 0:45:21.759
<v Speaker 1>not to say that people can't change, but at that

0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:25.480
<v Speaker 1>moment in time, you were thinking about that momentary pleasure

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:27.680
<v Speaker 1>that you're gonna get, you know, from getting off with

0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:30.720
<v Speaker 1>this random person, and not thinking about the other person

0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:33.520
<v Speaker 1>who probably cares about you deeply, and it's gonna be

0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:37.440
<v Speaker 1>heartbroken by this indiscretion, and that is toxic. And somebody

0:45:37.520 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 1>is only thinking about themselves. Let me see at a

0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:46.359
<v Speaker 1>k A Underscore Twin said, yes, he was a habitual liar. Man.

0:45:46.400 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 1>If there's one thing in this life that I cannot

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:52.239
<v Speaker 1>stand aside from cheaters, um, it is fucking liars, Like,

0:45:52.960 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, especially if I'm not dumb, I'm gonna

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>catch you in this little lie that you're putting out there,

0:45:57.880 --> 0:45:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and then what like, there's no going back from that,

0:46:00.120 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Like once you've already admitted that you've blatantly lied about

0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:06.320
<v Speaker 1>this thing. And obviously there are levels to it. There's

0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:08.720
<v Speaker 1>there's different things, you know, especially when you first meet somebody,

0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you might leave out certain details just at the beginning,

0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:13.359
<v Speaker 1>and then you kind of have a discussion later on,

0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:16.040
<v Speaker 1>like I get all that stuff, But when you're actually

0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:19.319
<v Speaker 1>in it and you were just lying about ship over

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and over it, like that's so fucking toxic because how

0:46:21.880 --> 0:46:23.920
<v Speaker 1>am I supposed to ever trust you? And that's one

0:46:23.920 --> 0:46:26.800
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest kind of cornerstones of any relationship is trust.

0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:29.879
<v Speaker 1>And if I can't believe you know what I'm saying

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:32.879
<v Speaker 1>the word of the person that I'm seeing, what kind

0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:37.880
<v Speaker 1>of a relationship is that. Let's see at how the

0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:40.439
<v Speaker 1>we neede if I sun that, I'm sorry, I don't

0:46:40.440 --> 0:46:41.600
<v Speaker 1>even know if you're l and I just try to

0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:43.879
<v Speaker 1>put a little actually you know, spice on that one.

0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:47.800
<v Speaker 1>You said, um, yes, they were emotionally manipulative, and you

0:46:47.840 --> 0:46:51.319
<v Speaker 1>threw some nice red flags in there. But yeah, emotional manipulation.

0:46:51.400 --> 0:46:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's discuss this a little bit. You want to talk

0:46:53.760 --> 0:46:58.239
<v Speaker 1>about like fucking toxic one on one, Like it is

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:02.959
<v Speaker 1>scary to think that somebody would purposely play with your

0:47:03.040 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 1>emotions and manipulate them just to favor whatever it is

0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.440
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to convince you of. Like that's some like

0:47:09.800 --> 0:47:12.600
<v Speaker 1>psychotic type ship, not not. You're judge anybody who's ever

0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:15.120
<v Speaker 1>done that before? I understand Again, we'll have, you know,

0:47:15.840 --> 0:47:17.839
<v Speaker 1>moments that are a bit lesser than the person would

0:47:17.840 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 1>actually like to be. But man, there are are people

0:47:20.520 --> 0:47:22.600
<v Speaker 1>out there and this is like a form of abuse

0:47:22.680 --> 0:47:26.040
<v Speaker 1>essentially because you're manipulating the person in a relationship with, Right,

0:47:26.160 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 1>And we see this all the time in abusive relationships. Right,

0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:32.480
<v Speaker 1>someone who will essentially isolate you from the people in

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:34.560
<v Speaker 1>your life. Right, that's what they kind of do. One

0:47:34.560 --> 0:47:36.759
<v Speaker 1>of the first kind of big steps they do, um

0:47:36.840 --> 0:47:38.440
<v Speaker 1>so that you know, nobody can kind of get in

0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:40.399
<v Speaker 1>your ear and tell you, you know, to get out

0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:42.440
<v Speaker 1>of what's going on, or to let you know that

0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:44.839
<v Speaker 1>what this person is saying is not true. And what's

0:47:44.840 --> 0:47:47.160
<v Speaker 1>scary is that you've ever kind of had people try

0:47:47.200 --> 0:47:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and mind funk you. It's like it becomes really difficult

0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:52.160
<v Speaker 1>to know what the truth is, right, Like, you have

0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 1>one side of yourself that's telling you something isn't right here,

0:47:54.480 --> 0:47:56.560
<v Speaker 1>But then you have somebody kind of playing to your

0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:59.520
<v Speaker 1>fears and your emotions and then knowing the specific ways

0:47:59.600 --> 0:48:01.520
<v Speaker 1>that they and sort of get you to think a

0:48:01.560 --> 0:48:04.240
<v Speaker 1>certain way, and it's like you're having this internal struggle

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:06.800
<v Speaker 1>like not knowing what is actual real life. You know,

0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:10.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a very very scary thing. And listen, Yeah, anybody

0:48:10.120 --> 0:48:12.640
<v Speaker 1>that's in a relationship with somebody who tends to UM

0:48:12.800 --> 0:48:15.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of twist and turn their emotions and figure out

0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:17.640
<v Speaker 1>ways to sort of manipulate them to think in in

0:48:17.680 --> 0:48:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the way that they want to, that is a huge

0:48:20.200 --> 0:48:23.040
<v Speaker 1>red flag and you need to get away from that person.

0:48:23.080 --> 0:48:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Those are very scary tendencies UM that could eventually lead to,

0:48:27.200 --> 0:48:29.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, far worse things than just them even messing

0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:33.439
<v Speaker 1>with your head. And this last one, actually I want

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:35.640
<v Speaker 1>to read UM has nothing to do with relationships, but

0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:36.840
<v Speaker 1>actually has to do with friends. And you all know

0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I've talked about this before about the circle that you

0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:42.680
<v Speaker 1>keep at Cross Underscore Soul set up all my friends

0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:44.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do was drink, party and get into trouble.

0:48:44.840 --> 0:48:47.200
<v Speaker 1>If I didn't want to, they would belittle me. And yeah,

0:48:47.239 --> 0:48:50.799
<v Speaker 1>that's actually a toxic friend group right there, who really

0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:53.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't give a funk about your own well being. They

0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:55.680
<v Speaker 1>really just care about keeping the party going, you know,

0:48:55.760 --> 0:48:58.680
<v Speaker 1>keeping the things that they seem to be enjoying going

0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:01.520
<v Speaker 1>at the expense of what actually is making you happy

0:49:01.600 --> 0:49:03.759
<v Speaker 1>or in this case, probably making you miserable. And I

0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:06.520
<v Speaker 1>hope that you've you've been able to walk away from

0:49:06.560 --> 0:49:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that friend group. I mean, a relationship is a bit

0:49:08.480 --> 0:49:11.080
<v Speaker 1>more difficult because a little bit more invest that I

0:49:11.120 --> 0:49:14.399
<v Speaker 1>feel like emotionally, but also I mean, listen, it's hard

0:49:14.440 --> 0:49:17.239
<v Speaker 1>to walk away from from friends, right it's like your

0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:20.320
<v Speaker 1>social circle, your outlet for having human connection, you know

0:49:20.360 --> 0:49:21.640
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. Like, if those are the only people

0:49:21.640 --> 0:49:24.160
<v Speaker 1>that you know, it's really difficult to go into this

0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:27.000
<v Speaker 1>really lonely place until you kind of meet other people

0:49:27.040 --> 0:49:29.200
<v Speaker 1>that you connect with, and especially the older you get,

0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it becomes even more difficult to like make new friends,

0:49:32.400 --> 0:49:34.319
<v Speaker 1>you know. But I salute you if you have pulled

0:49:34.360 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 1>yourself out of that situation or at the minimum recognize

0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that it's just not a healthy friend group to be

0:49:40.120 --> 0:49:42.279
<v Speaker 1>a part of. And with that said, thank you all

0:49:42.320 --> 0:49:45.560
<v Speaker 1>so much for participating in this Ask a Good Anglo

0:49:45.680 --> 0:49:48.359
<v Speaker 1>segment again at dj Dramas on Instagram. If you want

0:49:48.360 --> 0:49:51.200
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of the conversation and let's do

0:49:51.400 --> 0:49:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, we'll do a quick conclusions to Even

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:57.839
<v Speaker 1>though this episode technically is not done yet, it's only

0:49:57.880 --> 0:50:00.040
<v Speaker 1>part one of two. Again, you'll have to listen a

0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:04.200
<v Speaker 1>new part two on Amadas podcast with quick little conclusions

0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:13.279
<v Speaker 1>to what we've been talking about so far. All right,

0:50:13.280 --> 0:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>so I want to be very careful because I don't

0:50:14.520 --> 0:50:16.279
<v Speaker 1>want to give away too much of the conversation because

0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:18.759
<v Speaker 1>obviously this is only part one. But I think one

0:50:18.760 --> 0:50:21.759
<v Speaker 1>of the funnier revelations about this one is Amata kind

0:50:21.760 --> 0:50:23.759
<v Speaker 1>of coming to terms the fact that she might also

0:50:23.840 --> 0:50:26.920
<v Speaker 1>be on toxica right a little bit. Have have some

0:50:27.040 --> 0:50:31.600
<v Speaker 1>toxic behaviors, um, I mean, and listen, we've all been there.

0:50:31.680 --> 0:50:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I've been there when I've been young. Not to say

0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:36.919
<v Speaker 1>that when you, you you know, show certain behaviors or you

0:50:36.920 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you act out in certain ways, that it means that

0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:41.600
<v Speaker 1>you're doing forever. But it is important to become aware

0:50:41.640 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of those traits and really important to be aware of

0:50:43.680 --> 0:50:46.360
<v Speaker 1>those traits and potential partners or people in your life,

0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and also recognizing where some of these behaviors and yourself

0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:51.800
<v Speaker 1>come from. You know, I'm obviously on a lot of

0:50:51.800 --> 0:50:54.000
<v Speaker 1>episodes that talk about kind of doing that internal work,

0:50:54.280 --> 0:50:56.319
<v Speaker 1>and this is a part of it. Right, Like relationships

0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:58.880
<v Speaker 1>in order to have a healthy one, it also takes

0:50:58.920 --> 0:51:01.120
<v Speaker 1>a good amount of inter gona work on yourself right

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to fix and correct certain um negative traits that you

0:51:04.760 --> 0:51:07.759
<v Speaker 1>might have that are just not conducive to a healthy relationship.

0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:09.920
<v Speaker 1>And you owe it to the person you're getting into

0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:12.399
<v Speaker 1>a relationship with and also yourself to kind of try

0:51:12.400 --> 0:51:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and come in terms of some of this trauma that

0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:15.839
<v Speaker 1>you might be carrying around. But you know, that's all

0:51:15.880 --> 0:51:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say here, because again, this is a two

0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:21.680
<v Speaker 1>part episode. I don't want to give away too much,

0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and part two gets pretty juicy. Amadas gonna put the

0:51:25.040 --> 0:51:28.480
<v Speaker 1>full court press on me, uh and get my perspective

0:51:28.480 --> 0:51:29.759
<v Speaker 1>on a lot of other things, and you know, we'll

0:51:29.760 --> 0:51:31.560
<v Speaker 1>also get to know her just a little bit more.

0:51:31.640 --> 0:51:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, again that episode will be airing on

0:51:34.840 --> 0:51:39.200
<v Speaker 1>her podcast exactly Amada. Part two of our conversation about

0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:43.600
<v Speaker 1>toxica and toxicals toxic people in our lives. That will
