<v Speaker 1>We have to revamp all of our ship.

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>But I'm an agreeance because this this is not okay.

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 3>Dog, I heard that but it's because my uber driver

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 3>played it because he wanted to know what I was.

0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>So I told him to listen to the the here

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the way the roomber driver didn't know you, but asked bright.

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 3>And then decided to play it in the car while

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 3>I was there. So I'm listening to it and I said, now,

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 3>what the fuck is this intro?

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.000

<v Speaker 1>listened to anything? Because the cdium was like fi bro,

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I hated it. You know what?

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 2>This is why you can't give like sometimes two people

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 2>get a little too creative.

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Nigga heard the Bluebird was like, let me blend this up.

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 3>No bruh, So our music that used to be yeah,

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>none of that's their No mo.

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>We need this is not cool.

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 3>We need to look up like an R and B

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 3>singer that has the word decisions in a song and

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 3>be like, hey, yo, could we use that because y'all

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 3>don't know. We never asked Juicy J, but luckily he

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 3>never came after us. I ripped that bitch. I ripped

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>that straight from and then my homeboy was like, yeah,

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 3>you know that's.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Juicy J and I was like, when I took it

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>from you, you whatever, as in the juice man Gucci, No.

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.839
<v Speaker 3>Not, I know, Okay, the nigga on one hand, I didn't

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 3>know we bought racial so we got one hair right. Yeah.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.799
<v Speaker 3>But like I made a huge mistake today and thought

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 3>that Ruth Gater, Ruth Bader Gator, I thought she was

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 3>a white woman, but she was Jewish.

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought she was a black woman. I'm sorry, oh,

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I was Jewish is white.

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 3>I thought she was like giving Rosa Parks fair skin,

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 3>But no, she's white Hwish. It's only because so I said,

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 3>I think Crystal in this video of this husband trying

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 3>to figure out like you know, the slide shows that

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 3>you give people and they got to guess who the

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 3>people is. So I told Chris, so I bet you

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 3>don't know these white people. So it got to to

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Ruth Gator, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and she was like that

0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 3>nigga don't know Judge Judy, I said, that is anyway

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 3>I thought Ruth was black. Hole. I thought I knew

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 3>she was for the people, so I just thought she

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 3>was black. Making strides at differences with you know, abortion

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 3>rights out here anyway.

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I appreciate that you saw Ruth was a

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 2>black lady because of how impactful she was. Guy, there

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.800

<v Speaker 2>to be gays.

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 3>First off, our names come from slave masters. I just

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 3>thought that's where her lineage took her.

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 3>All right, here we go, Hello, just for some contacts.

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm a thirty one year old black woman. I need

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 3>to know if I'm done for sticking around, because according

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 3>to my friends, I am.

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>But your friends could be haters. So we're here to

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>see if they're writer or not.

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 3>In June of twenty twenty five, I decided to shoot

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.679
<v Speaker 3>my shot at an old high school friend.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, he was more of my brother's friend than mine.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was so cute back then, and he

0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>still find as hell now. I Oh lord, I took

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>him on a date.

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Jesus in Mandy put her hand over her mouth like

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 2>something smelled bad. I took him on a date and

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 2>stated that my intentions were pure and genuine. What girl?

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>This is what she said.

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 3>I told him that I wanted to see where this

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 3>goes because I could see us being together. Oh told

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 3>me about his trauma from his past relationship and that

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 3>he's still healing. I understood because I had to heal

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 3>from a five year situation. So to the present moment,

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 3>We've been dating really heavy for the past few months

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 3>and everything is going great. We spent holidays together, we

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 3>met each other's family, and now Valentine's Day is approaching

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 3>and my friends are wondering when he is going to

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 3>ask me to be his girlfriend. Me and him have

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 3>had countless conversations about what it is that we are doing.

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, he still is a lot going on

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 3>that he needs to work on, and I've been understanding,

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 3>even helping him work through some of the things. We

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 3>know that everything takes time and we just want to

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.119
<v Speaker 3>take things slow. But my friends are making me feel

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 3>bad because he has yet to ask me to be

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 3>his girlfriend. Yes, I would like to be his girlfriend

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 3>and much more, and I really am trying to be

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>patient with him, But like, come on, nigga, does it

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 3>really take six plus months to figure out.

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>If you want to be with someone?

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 3>And maybe I'm too understanding, but I don't mind what

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 3>we have going on now.

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>We go on frequent dates.

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Hell, we even travel together. Our sex is amazing, don't

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 3>they other people? Our families get along literally doing everything

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 3>a couple does. But why do I have to feel

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 3>so pressured to even put a title on it. Maybe

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 3>it's the Scorpio and me because I love hard and

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 3>get jealous from time to time. Sorry, Mandy, I know

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 3>you don't like the stars and moons talk lol, But

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 3>I really want him to be mine. But I'm also

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 3>willing to stick around and be patient with him. But

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 3>how long is too long before I become stupid?

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Thanks? Love you both, Eh, I'm gonna let you go first.

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Gleasie who Okay?

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 3>First off, do you think being stupid?

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you're stupid. I would never call a

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 2>woman stupid for that. But what I would say, you

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>like him more than he likes you. Ooh, and he

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 2>knows it, he feels it, he knows it. Sometimes the

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 2>way you start shit is the way shit ends. When

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 2>shit starts fucked up, it ends fucked up. I've said

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>that a lot on the show, and I think to

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>get to the point where a man lets you take

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.680
<v Speaker 2>him out, now.

0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>This is not oh don't stay there, so.

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, because I am if a nigga really fucked with you,

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 2>their ego is not gonna nitch you take him on

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the first day, not the first It's different now, I

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 2>think once you've been kicking it with somebody picking up

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the checking, shit is.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Cute, right, Like teamwork is a very normal.

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Thing in relationship. Fifty to fifty is very normal. But

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>there's something about the courting a man which led me,

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 2>leads me to believe you're gonna have to ask that

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:26.559
<v Speaker 2>nigga to be your boyfriend.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>You gonna have to get on one, Nieces.

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he's ever gonna do it for

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>you because he knows how bad you want him, like

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 2>for you to say the things about my intentions and

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 2>this and that on a first date. It's just, even

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 2>though we are non traditional women, there's certain things that

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>we have to acknowledge and admit are traditionally not something

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 2>that goes on. So it's interesting that you did something

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 2>so non traditional but are expecting by Valentine's Day to

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 2>be someone's girlfriend. Sounds very traditional to me. Yeah, so

0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna hold you. One of my home boys

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 2>is gonna ask this girl the day Valancine's aby as girl?

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Could it happened to you? Sure? Am I being pessimistic? Maybe?

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>But the reason I'm doing it.

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Is really because of how he was sought after in

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 2>terms of paying for things pretty much maybe the last

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 2>three relationships I've been in. I paid for things with

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Old Bay. I paid for things with scissors. I paid

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 2>for things, you know, Like, I'm not dating like super

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 2>duper wealthy people. We just do well and we share

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 2>somethings sometimes with scissors. It was more fifty to fifty

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>with Old Bay and my current boyfriend, it's not I

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 2>would say, more like seventy five twenty five, which some

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 2>women even think that's too much. So I think it's

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 2>really all that you're comfortable with, right, So I'm not

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 2>trying to shade you for paying for something but you did. No,

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm shaming her for like the pursuit. The pursuit just

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 2>feels a little bit like whoa and the fact that

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you're like waiting on him to do this, saying I

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 2>just think you may be waiting a long time, And

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.199
<v Speaker 2>I think it's because of how you set the tone.

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 2>When a man knows you want them that bad, they

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>know you'll stick around for a long time. So are

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 2>you stupid for dating six months without a title? No,

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I actually think that's right around the time that my

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend I committed.

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Well and I was very natural.

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.959
<v Speaker 3>I was even gonna say, have you sat with what

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 3>this title means to you? Because you said that you're

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 3>feeling pressured to put a title on it because everyone

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 3>else around you is calling you stupid.

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>But are you happy?

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Because what this is giving is you feel like you

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 3>are lacking something. So the fact that you had to say,

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 3>we travel together, we go on frequent dates, our sex

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 3>is amazing, we don't date other people, our families get along.

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 3>There's something in here that you're not telling us that

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.959
<v Speaker 3>is missing from the commitment, which is why you're wanting that.

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>That's actually a great point because you're making the point

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 2>of like our families or this, and that we don't

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.319
<v Speaker 2>date other people, like I don't.

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Know, and is this a relationship or is it not?

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.719
<v Speaker 3>And so what you're saying you're being pressured to put

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 3>a title on it, but really, realistically, sit with what

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 3>a title means to you, because it could mean something

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 3>different to you than your friends that are applying this pressure.

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Are you comfortable? Do you do you feel secure? Is

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 3>it a security blanket?

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Even?

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh and let me tell you, friends will make.

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>You feel like shit about choices you make.

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 3>With the many you choose the fuck I didn't listen.

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 3>I told y'all in twenty twenty six. I ain't got

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.839
<v Speaker 3>no opinions on the niggas y'all choose to suck and

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 3>fuck because it ain't my decision.

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>But if it was, it wouldn't be them.

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 3>Niggas, oh boy, because we decide we gonna suck and

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 3>fuck different niggas. I ain't gat really no opinion on

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 3>the nigga you suck because that you swallow don't make

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 3>me shit.

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you guys could hear the drill

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 2>in the back, but the handyman are loving that.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, they so for me, it's it's weird because

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 3>if you've been with the fan for six months, I'm

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 3>curious too, do you refer to him as your boyfriend?

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 3>So I wonder if it's no, it's how.

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll be calling niggas my boyfriend clearly, but no. When

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I was, I mean, I still call my nigga my nigga.

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 3>But I made all these niggas be like you my boyfriend, right,

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 3>So I'm your girlfriend, you my boyfriend, and this is

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 3>what it is, just because now we got a responsibility

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 3>to one of them.

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, but to be all I was started doing what

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I was, started calling him my boyfriend, and see what

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 2>you do, especially if your families get along, I'd be likeyfriend,

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious what your families if they're that intertwined what

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 2>they refer to y'all as. Because also there's a difference

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 2>between your families having been in the same space once

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 2>and the casualness of it to it being a common

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 2>thing that y'all's families just hang out.

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that that's interesting too, because family's meeting like I don't.

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Know a just But also remember she said that, uh,

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 3>this nigga is her brother's friend. So bitch, is it

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 3>just he cool with your brother or is he cool

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 3>with your family?

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Because why he doesn't date other people? I'm curious.

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Ooh, this don't have her thinking heat out here. She

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 3>said they don't, so maybe they said they not. Oh okay,

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 3>if he said I only want to date you, now

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 3>you know she didn't say that in the letter. This

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 3>is why we might need to be see, y'all need

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 3>to get a deeds bruh, I don't date other people.

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 3>But also she used that D word. I told y'all

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 3>in twenty twenty six. That word is so.

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>But is he fucking other people? Because maybe he don't

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>take other bitches on date and.

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Take up on the phone with them, But is he

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 3>entertaining situationship wise with other bitches?

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Like is it a conversation about.

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she's vacationing and doing all this stuff with him,

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>so she sees that she's taking them both of his time.

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 3>So in vacation married man, what the fuck that mean?

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.760

<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be thirty five in a few months, and

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 2>what I will tell you that I have learned that.

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I learned this.

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 2>At thirty boy, when a nigga wants you, is it loud?

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 2>It is loud, It's easy, Oh my god, it's loud.

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 1>It is so loud. I've learned that. Now I've like it.

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe took me to thirty four thirty five Voto seven.

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Do I want anyone listening to this to not think

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>we're speaking to the woman that wrote the letter. But

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I want you to listen to this just for any

0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 2>situation you ever had from a man when it was

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 2>fucking confusing, when it's fucking confusing. There is either another

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 2>person or fleeting thought that they have about wanting to

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 2>get into relationship. It's not always you, it's just about

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>their alignment to what you're looking for. One thing I've noticed,

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 2>in particular the last two men I've ended up in

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.360
<v Speaker 2>relationships with my current partner and my last both were

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 2>not looking for girlfriends. However, I could not tell from

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.880
<v Speaker 2>how they engaged with me and the energy they had

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 2>for dating me, and both times I just kind of

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.360
<v Speaker 2>wanted to fuck too. And then I hit a point

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.159
<v Speaker 2>where I was like, well I want more, so I

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 2>think I'm good on this, and never was I let go, yeah,

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 2>and telling you, I have been situations where men let

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.120
<v Speaker 2>me go and they were like, okay, cool, and this

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 2>is not me trying to flex and be like my

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.399
<v Speaker 2>niggas wanted me. I have been on the other end

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 2>of where a guy was like, I'm not ready for

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>what you're looking for. However, I did end up in

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the relationships with people that were looking for the same

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I keep almost saying her name Scissors is one that

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>gave me that Sissus basically was like did dream about

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 2>to keep trying to fly me to New York and

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.640
<v Speaker 2>come down door and blah blah blah, like the fuck

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, okay, okay, well am, I ain't

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:10.239
<v Speaker 2>gonna lose you. So And it wasn't even like I

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 2>wanted anyone else. I just was just doing whatever, you know,

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 2>I was bopping around. I'm twenty six when we started dating, Like,

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't genuinely thinking like commitment, but she was. She's

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.679
<v Speaker 2>a few years older than me, not by much, but

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>her brain was there where mine wasn't.

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>So it was easy.

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, same night, same day conversation she

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 2>had with me was done.

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, we together. So when people feel that for you,

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>when they don't want to lose you, David, bitch a.

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.280
<v Speaker 1>You're not going a little bitch now. And I'm not

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 1>here for ultimatum.

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 3>But it's weird because I want you to want more

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.000
<v Speaker 3>for yourself if you want a relationship. You see his

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 3>saying you willn't be patient until when until he go

0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 3>out find somebody else he liked. And now you sit here,

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 3>sitting here with paint on your face, like, if you

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 3>want to be more with him, if y'all are going

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 3>about everything that entails a relationship, ask him what's holding

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 3>him up from the title. Then agreed, and then you

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 3>need to decide what you want. But it can't be

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 3>to just wait around for a man.

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>To choose you. You have to choose yourself.

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think you know, we have such poor dating

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.199
<v Speaker 2>experiences that we like to take leaps ourselves. So I

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.919
<v Speaker 2>think asking a man out on a date isn't terrible

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.159
<v Speaker 2>be like I want to, But I think offering to pay.

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.439
<v Speaker 3>Is the way she said I took him out on

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 3>a date. She definitely paid.

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.399
<v Speaker 2>So it was something about the language of like my

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 2>intentions and taking out.

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I said, I want to be genuine and with intent

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and yuh yeah, I think it's like I'm going to cover.

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna like it's.

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Like, oh okay, yeah, you're giving off that you like

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:53.879
<v Speaker 3>him more and he's not.

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't feel like he's in the risk of losing you.

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh he's gonna say he's stay bringing you along until

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:03.119
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 2>This is also by the way, you wrote us for answers,

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 2>and I'll give you the immediate one. After all this

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 2>shade we've thrown you have a conversation with him, letting

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 2>him know like, hey, like my expectations of where we're going.

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Is that one up in a committed relationship?

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you see that with me? Oop?

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 3>But I asked, that's what you got to ask me,

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 3>And you need to ask him that before Valentine's Day, bitch,

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 3>so that you have time to book that flight the

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 3>All Star weekend and get you.

<v Speaker 2>Know, Cammy, we did Cammy Crawford's pod and she said

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 2>something about getting no.

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:35.120
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no she did. She said I'm getting married soon.

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 1>She did. She was like, I don't have to notice,

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, yep, and she got that ring.

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I understand because I had a conversation when we were

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 2>in Brazil where it was like, I don't know, maybe

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I've never said it like that before, Like I already

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 2>knew what track I was on, but I was like, yeah, when, like,

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 2>what gauge do you have because I'm gonna like, you know,

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 2>my get like and it was.

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Very and I remember that Nigga was choking on the

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 1>fucking water.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I could tell cam you had one of those,

0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.399

<v Speaker 2>future is going, right, Like we need to know we

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.159
<v Speaker 2>need to feel safe in making decisions, et cetera. And

<v Speaker 2>you need to ask.
