I've really been missing having these sorts 30 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: of conversations, and if you listened to see the thing 31 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: Is or even Periodsis, the conversations just go so much 32 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: deeper than what I am having over on decisions, decisions 33 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: formally horrible decisions, because again, that's such a niche platform. 34 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: But I do believe I have so much to say. 35 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: I do believe my opinions are one necessary that are needed. 36 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: And I also love to roll you motherfuckers up. And 37 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: I am joined today by y'all heard her on Tuesday 38 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: if you listen to the Tuesday Drop with my friend 39 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: who also loves to rile people up. No, I don't 40 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: know it just so happens. It just so happens that 41 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: it happens. And so the last time, not this week, 42 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: but the last time Karla joined me on Selective Ignorance, 43 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: it was her and Ray Daniels to talk about their 44 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: political somewhat stances or parties that they identify or don't 45 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: identify with, and we decided that they're both purple fucking blue, 46 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: fucker red. They definitely lean more towards the hue of bread, 47 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: but we're gonna call them purple. And so independents don't 48 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: make a dent in the goddamn presidential elections. So independence 49 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: to me are votes that could go to either or 50 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: that just end up in in fucking air personally. That 51 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: that's how I view it, you know. So AnyWho, I 52 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: have Carla on to have a conversation that will absolutely 53 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: get your blood boiling.

So 116 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: he's telling you don't want no baby, but you why 117 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: have the baby? You can't force her to have an abortion. 118 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: It's not a forced thing. 119 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: It's more of like, let's think about before you bring 120 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: a child into this world. 121 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: So would you have aborted if his dad said that 122 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: he didn't want him before he was born? 123 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: By the way, curious to know For anyone who didn't 124 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: see that episode, that's the So What Now? Podcast for 125 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: anyone who has not seen that. What was your answer 126 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: to that? As someone who is anti abortion at your age? 127 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: Not anti abortion? Okay, well your anti a certain number 128 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: of abortions, yes, but I'm curious as a mother of two, 129 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: And before we get deep into this conversation, if the 130 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: father of your child expressed that he did not want 131 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: the child, what what would have been your conversation? So 132 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: she asked specifically about my child? Now, are right? That's 133 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: that's all I'm asking is my specific child? My child? Wow? Yeah, 134 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: and so and so you are actually more pro woman 135 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: having an abortion than having a child with a partner 136 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: who doesn't want it. So here's what's happening with me. 137 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: And I want to give this disclaimer before I start talking. 138 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: We talked about in the last episode and we'll do 139 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: it again today. 140 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: Everything that we feel and we speak and the opinions 141 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: that we have literally come it's a direct correlation to 142 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: our past, our experiences, what we're going through. So at 143 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: the moment, I have a twenty year old. 144 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: And a four year old. I was a single. I 145 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: was married to Ayama, my daughter's dad, until she was 146 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: about six. 147 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: Then with my sons, I didn't want any more children, 148 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: and I was very adamant about it. Then I found 149 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: this new man and he was all about, I want 150 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: a child, and it just seemed perfect, and I'm like, 151 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: maybe I can do it again. And it moved really fast, 152 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: and we had this baby, and there was a baby 153 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: that he wanted, and I'm like, this is gonna be 154 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: my chance to. 155 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: Do it again and have the family that I that 156 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: I always wanted. 157 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: Right, So when he decides to completely want become physically abusive, leave, 158 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: have nothing to do with the children, like change his 159 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: entire story that he told me. If I would have 160 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 2: known this beforehand, I would not have had a child 161 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: with him. 162 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: But again, twenty twenty.

But that's not the 174 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: case with everyone. So not everyone wants to do better. 175 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: Not everyone just it's just what it is right. They 176 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 2: want to stay in what they know and they're okay 177 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 2: with that. That's a little frustrating for me. And I've 178 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: also realized that I do give grace to other people, 179 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: and those that are closest to me, I happen to 180 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: not give them as much grace because I want to 181 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: kind of control and I feel like I've taken this 182 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: kind of I don't know if this is the right word, 183 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: but like a god complex in a sense where it's like, 184 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: let me help you. I want to help and I 185 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 2: know this door. I know this door right here. If 186 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: you open it, it's going to get you to this 187 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: great place of piece of success, of whatever it may 188 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: be that you may want. And I want to do 189 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: that for you. And that's not my role in this world. 190 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: It is support and to not be judgmental over what 191 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: you want to do. Everyone has a different road to 192 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: get there, Everyone has different experiences that they have to 193 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: get to. And I've realized in the last actually it 194 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 2: was this week that with those closest to me, I 195 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: don't give them the grace because I'm like, girl, let 196 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: me just fix it for you, and that's not what 197 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: I'm here for. So with that being said, the answer 198 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 2: to it was Yes, if I knew at thirty four 199 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 2: that the man that was promising me this life and 200 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: that I was on the same track with wasn't, I 201 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 2: would not have had my child because I don't think 202 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: it's fair to him. 203 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that that's real, and I think 204 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of women that would would agree. 205 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's It's the interesting part to 206 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: me when I hear people say they would have children 207 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: if they get married, knowing that marriages don't all last, 208 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: so the idea that they die, I mean, I mean, 209 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: all the things right, And so it's interesting because in 210 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: watching this clip, I understand the difference between an opinion 211 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: and reality. Now I actually agree with you in this clip. 212 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: I think that if you do decide. 213 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: To again, I've not heard that before me never, You've 214 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 2: never You've never heard that before. 215 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: So but I agree with the sentiments that you both 216 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: had only because I understand you saying what should happen 217 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: and what you do, and deck saying the reality of 218 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: what does happen and what majority does and so so 219 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: you saying that if you're gonna lay with a man 220 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: and have unprotected sex, that the conversation around parenting and 221 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: childbirth and the consequence of unprotected sex should be a conversation. 222 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: It should be. I also understand the fact that a 223 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: lot of people just like that temporary quote unquote great 224 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: feeling of unprotected sex. Right now, I want to share 225 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: a story of something that recently happened with me and 226 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: one of my previous partners. We're we're not dealing with 227 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: each other now, but there was a partner that we 228 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: had had sex a couple times and no lie. We 229 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: were on the phone one day and he goes, how 230 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: many more times do we have to have sex before 231 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: I can take the kind of off? And my response 232 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: was never, because ay, we both don't want children with 233 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: each other.

We 235 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: won't be having kids together, and we also weren't. It 236 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: wasn't like we were talking about being in an exclusive 237 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: relationship and then fucking raw. He said, how many more 238 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: times do I gotta fuck you casually with a condom 239 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: before I could fuck you casually without a condom, knowing 240 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: that we both also have other partners. And it was 241 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: just interesting to me because I was just like this, 242 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: like he was dead ass, Like there was a real 243 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: seriousness that he had in asking me when he can 244 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: insert his raw ass penis into my vagina without any exclusivity, 245 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: any future planning and me not wanting a child. I mean, 246 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: he could give me a whole lot of things. Baby. 247 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: The list is like goes on and on and on 248 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: if y'all really look up all the STDs that can 249 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: be contracted or all of the things. And so listening 250 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: to this clip and us having the conversation of women 251 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: having rights to make decisions around their body in terms 252 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: of keeping a baby or not keeping the baby, but 253 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: also just to me, the irresponsibility of majority of the 254 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: people who genuinely are out here thinking that it's fine 255 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: and normal to casually have sex unprotected without the conversations 256 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: around child planning is insane to be. 257 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: It's definitely more common than not, especially with you know, 258 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: we have secular music and we have. 259 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: Movies, and we not you. 260 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: Blaming entertainment now child well for sure, because again, like 261 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: we talked about last episode, this phone right here is 262 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: at everyone's fingertips at all times, is in our back pocket, 263 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: front pocket, our hand. It does not leave our side 264 00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: for longer than too. 265 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: How do you how do you blame music and our 266 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: phones as to why people are having unprotected sex. So 267 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: it's not a blame. I think it's a factor, right. 268 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: But the same way that that those music or movies 269 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: are out there, so are we right here speaking right 270 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: So this is also at their fingertips, also on their phones, 271 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 2: also on their social media. So we can now tell them, hey, 272 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: from our past experience, maybe some young women will actually say, 273 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: you know what, I may want to ask someone about 274 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: what they want to do. Because my conversation with that 275 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: specific partner that I was speaking on was we know 276 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,119 Speaker 2: each other for some months. 277 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: Prior and we talked about he was very sure he 278 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: did not want children. 279 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: He's like, if I have another child, I will tell 280 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 2: you I will not be in that child's life. I'll 281 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: pay child support and that's it. I don't want any 282 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: parts of it. And for me was I absolutely do 283 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: not want any more children. I am, I don't care. 284 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: The Lord himself has to come up here. To me, 285 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: I will have to be virgin Mary literally waking up 286 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: one day and I'm nine months pregnant, and you won't 287 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 2: want any more children. Now with that specific person, why, 288 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: I'm one of the reasons why it didn't work out 289 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: so many But I did not like the fact that 290 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: he was so adamant that he did not want any 291 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: more children but refused to aseectomy, but was okay with 292 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: me being on birth control. 293 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: So that's I think the bigger conversation that I'm having 294 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: now too with my partners, and luckily, like my boyfriends 295 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: now are just as conscious and don't want kids. Either 296 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: one of them has has children and doesn't want anymore, 297 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: and then the other two have no kids. By the way, 298 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: I have three, and impossible one of them I'm not 299 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: having actually two of them, I'm not having sex. With 300 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: the two of them I am. And so the conversations 301 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: around that have been interesting because they've agreed to use 302 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: condumns because we're on the same page right in terms 303 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: of not wanting other children and also understanding that we 304 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: have multiple partners. But the conversation often does lead to, 305 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: if I don't want kids, why do I not just 306 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: get on birth control, and so this idea that I 307 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: have to put something into my body allow you to 308 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: enter me raw as if there's not all of these 309 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: other things at play, And it's just crazy. I don't 310 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: understand if a man does not want kids, why he 311 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: can't just go in get the surgery and snip his balls, like, 312 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: go get neutered, like and what the. 313 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 2: Fuck to be through all these hormones in and out 314 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: And it's like, I could literally just let my body flow, 315 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 2: get a period when it's supposed. 316 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: To, let my let let let me let me go, 317 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: my my brain, my brain, or all. 318 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 2: These hormones going on, And you're trying to tell me 319 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 2: like if you get pregnant, if you get pregnant, I'm 320 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: not gonna be there.

The current updates that two other 348 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: women just had children by him, and there's an alleged 349 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: third one still currently pregnant, which means Carti was pregnant 350 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: at the same time as two other women and another 351 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: woman gave birth to his child back in December. The 352 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: third tidbit of all of this is that she is 353 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: still currently legally married to her husband Offset and they're 354 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: actively going through a divorce. That is a lot. That 355 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: is a lot. Now, I want to start with my 356 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: quick thoughts on this and then Carla, I would love 357 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: for us to exchange a dialogue.

She is the 360 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: friend we all want. She is the woman that we 361 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: have been rooting for from the strip club to the stages, 362 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: from making you know, a couple hundred a night to 363 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: millions in a night. You feel me so. She is 364 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: someone that a lot of us see in ourselves, and 365 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: a lot of us like champion. Here is the problem 366 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: in the ways that we champion her. We can be 367 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 1: disappointed in her and I think that that's where Crystal 368 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: from the Red meant to go with her disdain of 369 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: the decision to be currently pregnant ahead of her sophomore album, 370 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: ahead of an arenatur and in leaving a current relationship 371 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: now here is the absolute truth. The ways in which 372 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: we have opinions about Cardi being pregnant are the sames 373 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: in which we would have for our dear friends and baby. 374 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: Let's be very very clear, I would drag for filthy 375 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: any about homegirls who chose to get pregnant by a 376 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: nigga she ain't known for even a year. Kick the baby, 377 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: knowing that there are other women currently pregnant. Bitch, we 378 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: are not having project babies around here in our thirties. Baby, Like, 379 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: at a certain age you have to make better decisions. 380 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: But also you are currently going through a divorce in 381 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: which you are still not's in a healing space from 382 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: a marriage that was traumatic. And we know it's traumatic 383 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: because girlfriend, the last you done broke up with them, 384 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: get them, fought like you don't. The relationship was to engagement, 385 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: bro The relationship was tumultuous, and you got into it 386 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: in your twenties at the ascension of a career that 387 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: is now fucking beyond. If we have any opinion on you, Cardi. 388 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: B the opinion does not stem from you choosing to 389 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: be a mother. You are already a mother of three 390 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: beautiful children. I don't care if you choose to be 391 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: the mother of five more kids. The problem is the 392 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: decision in which you made, with all of the other factors. 393 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: And if any of my friends chose to have a 394 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: baby by a whole ass nigga while she was still divorced, 395 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: still healing from a breakup, bitch, we would look at 396 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: her like, bitch, what are you doing and why?

I think we are able to have these 403 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: opinions on Cardi because we love her down like that 404 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: is of the like you said, the friend that we 405 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 2: all wish we had. 406 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so bad.

That is a celebrity. 412 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 2: That is someone I don't know that is someone I 413 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: don't spend time with. So if a friend of mine 414 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 2: that I love and care about was in Carti's position, 415 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 2: I think that the best thing that I could do 416 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: as a good friend is to not judge them and 417 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 2: be there. 418 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 1: Ah, bitch, I'm judging.

That's to your face, oh bit. 438 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: But I definitely told you. I told you when you 439 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: got with him that I didn't think he was and 440 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: I often shared that he's but if you can share 441 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: that he wasn't a good. 442 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: Partner, yeah that you You definitely did well. You said that, 443 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 2: But then we saw us side of him and we 444 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: were like, maybe I don't know. He's showing up in 445 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 2: a certain way there. It was taking me well, keeping 446 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: me in because it is friendship. It's like, at the 447 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: end of the day, as we grow, we have to know. 448 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 2: And this is me talking to myself as well. We 449 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 2: can't just sit here and judge people. And I am 450 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 2: a very judging person that I know that I have 451 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 2: tons of opinions, but I wouldn't I don't know CARDI. 452 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 2: So now going back to her keeping this child. I 453 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 2: told you in the beginning that a lot of my 454 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: views about parenting come from the trauma that I'm going now, 455 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 2: not trauma the ships that I've been through, it's a 456 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 2: lot of it, but the hardships that I've gone through 457 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 2: that I have to see my children go through because 458 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 2: of the men that I chose to be their fathers. 459 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 2: Now there it took two to tango. We both laid down, 460 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: we both made this baby, we both had the responsibility. 461 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: But sometimes I do guilt trip myself and I want 462 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: those women that out there listening because I'm literally currently 463 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: dealing with this, the intense guilt that I feel to 464 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: have given my children fathers that may not be as present, 465 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 2: that aren't that Just so many things think have gone wrong, 466 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: our have gone wrong in my eyes, that I wish 467 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 2: I could do better. 468 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: But that's just life. We all are going to go 469 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: through it. I can't stop it. Now. 470 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 2: You look at someone who you love and adoring you 471 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 2: to the trajector of their life, and I do wish 472 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: that card you would have maybe said, you know what, 473 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 2: it ain't the time. And I'm not anti abortion, but 474 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: sometimes I do realize that shit happens now, she's happening 475 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: every other every six months. Then we need to go 476 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: figure out what the hell's going on there. And that's 477 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 2: where I come with when it comes to abortion, it's like, 478 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 2: all right, let's not use this as breast control. That 479 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 2: takes a lot on your body, That takes a lot, 480 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: you know, It's just so much that can happen to 481 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: you mentally, physically through an abortion, but also a lot 482 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: can happen when you do go through with a pregnancy 483 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: that just wasn't planned, that maybe it's not the best. 484 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 2: You're in a marriage, you got all these other kids, 485 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 2: and money is not everything. Yes, sometimes it seems like 486 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 2: money will buy things and it can afford freedom. 487 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: I think for the people who are like, oh my god, 488 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: she's so rich, she can afford all these kids, it's 489 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: funny because the idea that now a woman can make 490 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: these decisions solely because she can actually afford them is 491 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: also where that doesn't remove the again, I guess trauma 492 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: that you would be placing on you your child. And 493 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: so it's to me the money being the factor as 494 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: to why people are like Cardiacake can do whatever she wants.

I am talking about her job. Yes, 584 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: she did features in between, she did all this, but 585 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: what she has just had to do. Mind you, Wave 586 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: is less than a year old. So you have a 587 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: baby under one, or maybe just one, maybe just now one. 588 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: So you have a baby that is one years old, 589 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: and you're about to give birth to a baby again, 590 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: and so and so, even the idea that two of 591 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: your children aren't going to have the experience of the 592 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: first two kids where you could kind of stay home 593 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: a lot more often, where there was a father in 594 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: the household. These two babies aren't going to have that. 595 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: And yes, Carling, it could be little ones. 596 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 2: These two new little ones may have a better experience 597 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: and a better mom than the first two had it. 598 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: I say that because when I was listen to her 599 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 2: for Sure interview, she was saying, I was so distraught 600 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 2: mentally going through it with this man. She's like, I thought, 601 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, I'm gona lay down in my depression 602 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 2: for two months. She's like, when I looked up, it 603 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,239 Speaker 2: had been seven years. I don't think she wanted to 604 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: wait seven years to put out an album. 605 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. 606 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: You also know, when you're in that tumultuous relationship, there's 607 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,239 Speaker 2: not much you can fucking focus on. 608 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,239 Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't know that because I was in 609 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: a three year tumultuous relationship. And maybe I worked. Okay, 610 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: I worked too. I never stopped working. I was working. 611 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 2: I was working money. But when I tell you, it 612 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 2: was not fulfilling. I wasn't able to be there and 613 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 2: give my kids everything. 614 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: It wasn't me. I was sad. I worked. 615 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: Everyone saw me on cameras, like everyone saw Cardi doing features, 616 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: But when she was home she was crying, she cann't eat. 617 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 2: She was calling Shakira. She's like, Shakira, help me, how 618 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: do I get through this? You know it's hard. So 619 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: hopefully these next two kids get a more healed version 620 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 2: eventually of Cardi when she comes up. But what we 621 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: want for her is not it's not the reality of it. 622 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: And we can just hope again. 623 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: I love that word. We can just hope that she 624 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: heals more, that Offset gets his shit together and stop 625 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: asking for money. And she's hard to heal when hard 626 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: to heal when you get up under someone else. And 627 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: she literally said that on her when she sat down 628 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: with Alice on call her daddy. She literally talked about 629 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: how healing for her looked like leaving one man and 630 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: getting up under another one. 631 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 2: And it was just like, that's her journey right now, 632 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: that's her journey right now. She'll get that she's only 633 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 2: thirty two. But she's only thirty two, a little older 634 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 2: than I than most, but she's thirty two, and now 635 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 2: it's I get closer to forty. I realized, Okay, sometimes 636 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 2: I'm my anxiety gets me to like feel I don't 637 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 2: have enough time, and that's where it comes from. Where 638 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: I'm really hard on my daughter, I'm really hard on 639 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 2: my friends, or I'm really hard on my clients. Like, 640 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 2: we don't have time to be fucking around. We don't 641 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 2: have time to make mistakes. But you know what we 642 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 2: do as part of our journey. Make that mistake if 643 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 2: it gets you there. But I've been living in a 644 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 2: for the past I would say maybe a year where 645 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna contact. I don't have enough time. I don't 646 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: have enough time. I can't go outside, I can't get 647 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 2: hurt what happens. Girl, Calm the fuck down. It'll be fine. 648 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 2: If you're gonna have that baby, have that baby. If 649 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 2: you're gonna have that abortion, have that abortion. Not too 650 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 2: many now, slow down on the abortions, ladies. But if 651 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 2: you're gonna have it, make the right decision for you. 652 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: And I really do got to shut the fuck up 653 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 2: and speak on my own experience, and I just it 654 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 2: hurts me to see my children hurt. It hurts me 655 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 2: to see other children hurt because we could have made 656 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 2: just a split second decision that I have a conversation 657 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 2: first with this person and say, hey, do. 658 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: You even want children? How many children do you really 659 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: have out there? Hey? Do you mind getting your pasectomy? Hey, 660 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: do you also feel like what you're saying, what's your thing? 661 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: Sounds good? But at the same time, I also and 662 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: it goes off of what we talked about Tuesday. I 663 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: don't think that there is anything wrong with having an 664 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: opinion or judging somebody on the decisions they make. There's 665 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: people that do it every day for me, and I 666 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: feel like I can have an opinion on I want 667 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: better for someone else, or why I would have made 668 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: a different decision, or why I feel like their decision 669 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: was wrong. Like, I also don't think that there's somebody's 670 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: shoes we can't really give that opinion. It reminds me 671 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: of I mean, I've gotten an abortion, but no, but 672 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: that's the thing, even if we were in the same 673 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: shoes again, I've had an abortion my nigga that I 674 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: didn't need a baby with because I didn't know him. 675 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: So I can have an opinion on I can have 676 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 1: an opinion about a woman choosing to have a baby 677 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: with someone she's literally admitted to knowing for six months. 678 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 2: Okay, so ru I know of someone who hadn't met 679 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 2: someone and within three months they got pregnant. 680 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: They're now on their second I know Sowe right now. 681 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: I know Sowe right now got pregnant within three months 682 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: of heaving. I know two Pins right now got pregnant 683 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: within three months. He's so loving. 684 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 2: It's not been like ten years and it just worked 685 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 2: out for them, right. So, and that's what I'm trying 686 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 2: to remind. I'm trying to I get where you're coming from. 687 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 2: I'm your opinion as judgy ass friend, yes, and I'm 688 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 2: trying to grow into the space of just don't know. 689 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 2: It sounds bad most likely can go statistics show, but 690 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 2: there's also people that it works for. So hey, what 691 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 2: can I do as your friend to support you versus 692 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 2: tear you down over a. 693 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 1: Final destination that I don't know where it's gonna land. Yes, 694 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: does it seem like Cardi is good? 695 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 2: Does it seem like things are stacked up against her 696 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 2: with him having all these new baby mamas and he 697 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 2: may not be the best person to go with, but 698 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 2: we don't know. Maybe Stefan Diggs at this point is like, 699 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do right by this woman, and he maybe 700 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: take care of all his children. 701 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: It'll be a big Brady bunch. We don't fucking know. 702 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 2: So we can't as a friend to her if we 703 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 2: were friends to her or someone like Cardi in her life, 704 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 2: be like, girl, you're so fucking stupid. 705 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: Da da da da. 706 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 2: It's just like, you know, what is it the sison 707 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 2: you're going with? I would say, let's look at the 708 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 2: whole picture. But if this is what you want to 709 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 2: go with, how can I support you? 710 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: Yo? 711 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 2: This is dumb as fuck. I can't stand behind this. 712 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 2: I don't like it at all. I can no longer 713 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 2: be friends with you. And that's also a choice that 714 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 2: you can make. 715 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: No, So that's so I think that that's Those are 716 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: two dramatic things. There's a lot of things about my 717 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,479 Speaker 1: friends that I don't agree with their decisions in life, 718 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: with their opinions on things, and I still can remain 719 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: a friend. I think that it's okay for me to say. 720 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 2: I think, say I don't like the way you're judging 721 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 2: me and you're talking to me and you're putting like 722 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: that negative. 723 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: Oh, then then that's up to them. Yeah, oh, and 724 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. So I'm fine with people making 725 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: the decisions that they want around me. Like it's interesting 726 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: because to me, if someone decides that they don't want 727 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,439 Speaker 1: to be my friend because of my opinion on them 728 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: or something because we disagree. Okay, I don't think it 729 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: would be disagreement. 730 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 2: I think if someone feels attacked or it feels like 731 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,919 Speaker 2: they're not it's like, hey, you no, And. 732 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,839 Speaker 1: I think for I will express my opinions, I think 733 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: it's stupid. And then what I'll do is I no 734 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: longer want to have this conversation with you. Like if 735 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: you gonna say what a nigga that lays his hands 736 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: on you? Don't bring your nigga up to me. If 737 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: you don't say what a nigga who does this? I 738 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: like the same way. I know I don't care about 739 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: my friend's opinions on people that I choose to date. 740 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: I won't share that stuff with my friends because I 741 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: don't care about their opinions. But if I express my 742 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: disdain for something and you're upset that I expressed my 743 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 1: disagreement or disdain for your decision making, and you now 744 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,879 Speaker 1: don't want to be friends with me because I am 745 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: not going to support those decisions you made. Okay, I've 746 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: I've ended a friendship with a really good friend of 747 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: mine for multiple reasons, but a lot of it was 748 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: as well. She got with a partner and her whole 749 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: views on things started to shift and change, and I 750 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: can no longer agree with how she was showing up 751 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: in that relationship because I felt like she was losing 752 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: herself and in an essence of me expressing those things. No, 753 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,919 Speaker 1: it wasn't. Oh, I never take authority over anyone's life. Again, 754 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: that's an extreme. I can express my disdain or dislike 755 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: for your decision making you taking offense to that and 756 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: wanting yes men around you, or wanting people to support 757 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: your bad decisions. Like if I was friends with a 758 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: drug addict, someone like if Hunter was my best friend 759 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: and he expressed how much he loved crack cocaine and 760 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: how he could live without crack cocaine. Bro, if I 761 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 1: had a friend talk about how much they loved crack 762 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: cocaine and they wanted to express to me how they 763 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: loved it, and I was like, Bro, that makes you 764 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: a crackhead. I think you sup with as fuck. Here's 765 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: the consequences that can happen with you using this. This 766 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: is what is doing to your body. And he didn't 767 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: want me to express those things, and now didn't want 768 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: to be my friend because I disagreed with his life 769 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: decisions because he didn't want to give up crack cocaine. 770 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: Then that's no longer a friendship, though, because that does 771 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: affect your life. How do these men having a baby? 772 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: Would a nigga affects your life? In another human's life, 773 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: You choosing to be with a nigga who is not 774 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: good for you or causing you harm does impact your life. Bro. 775 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: A bad relationship and bad decisions affect your life the 776 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: same way drugs can impact your life. I've been in 777 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: an not physically abusive, not sexually abusive relationship, but an 778 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,240 Speaker 1: emotional and psychological one, and it definitely had an impact 779 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: on my body and my health. So, Bro, it's the 780 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: same fucking thing. So if I want to critique your 781 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: decisions because I want better for you and you don't 782 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: want better for yourself, in the moment, I am so 783 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: fine with you choosing to walk away from a friendship. 784 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: I will never walk away from my friends for their 785 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: decision making, even when I disagree. If you don't want 786 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: me to call you a stuper bitch, I won't. But 787 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: then we don't need to talk about where I disagree 788 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: with you. Okay, But if you feel bad that I 789 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: called you a stupid bitch, and now you don't want 790 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: to be friends with me because you know that I 791 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: internally and externally have told you that I am disappointed, disagree, 792 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: and think that you should be making other choices. And 793 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: now because I've done held the mirror up to you, 794 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,399 Speaker 1: you no longer want to be my friend. I am 795 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,840 Speaker 1: so here for mirror up to them. No, I'm holding 796 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: my No. But what I'm saying, it's not it's a mirror. 797 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 1: Your decision is stupid. The masses would think your decision 798 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: is goddamn stupid. You don't see it now, You're gonna 799 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: see it later. If I feel like your decision is 800 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 1: goddamn dumb for X y Z results, there's nothing not 801 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 1: stupid about keeping a baby with a nigga you've known 802 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: for six months. The masses would say that is done. 803 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: That a good result off of that. I do not 804 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: mind mind you, mind you No, I'm saying, so cool 805 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,240 Speaker 1: you can the masses that is not the case. Every 806 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: single friend of mine with a child, outside of my 807 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: one friend who is married, every single friend with children 808 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,280 Speaker 1: are single parents. Period. 809 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 2: And that's and that's where so I remember when I 810 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 2: was saying where I come off very judges sometimes about abortions, 811 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 2: about speaking up, and I can come off very like, oh, 812 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 2: I'm telling people what to do. I think that's where 813 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 2: yours also comes from. And it's like I see this 814 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 2: all around me. My experience is that when this happens, 815 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 2: this follows, and that's when we sometimes I have to 816 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 2: take a step back. Where I'm taking a step back 817 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 2: and I'm saying, just because all I've ever seen is 818 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,959 Speaker 2: when this happens, then this follows. These children are having 819 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 2: this hard time, and this is happening, I have to 820 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,919 Speaker 2: take a step back and be like, Okay, just because 821 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 2: that's what I've seen doesn't mean that's what may happen 822 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 2: to them, So hey, what do you need from me? 823 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: And then keep my opinion. There are there are people 824 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: or there's ways to also say, you know, Carla, there 825 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: are people who have literally gotten away with murder. What 826 00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 1: I sit here and not judge any of my friends 827 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: who murder someone and say, well, I know what the 828 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 1: common outcome of this is, but there are people that 829 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: have gotten away with murders. So I'm not gonna have 830 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: a judgment on this. Literally is the same thing you're 831 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: saying you have one example, and there are examples of 832 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: people getting away with murder, with rape, with pedophilia, with assault, 833 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 1: with all these things. Yes, there are instances where people 834 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: have got one moment. Let me finish, there are people 835 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: who have gotten away with these things. Does that mean 836 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: if my friend does the same exact thing knowing that, 837 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, in history it has ended up positively 838 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: for the person that I'm not gonna say this is 839 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: a dumb ass, goddamn decision to make, no when majority 840 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: of the time the result is the same. The result 841 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: is prison. The result is a consequence that leads you 842 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: to go to jail. The result is the fact that 843 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: this person will probably leave. Or you don't know this 844 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: person yet, you're bringing a child into the like, you 845 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: don't know his upbring, you don't know his genetic makeup, 846 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: you don't know really his finances and whole because you 847 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 1: just met the nigga three months ago. All of these things. Again, 848 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: my opinions aren't rooted just from fucking thin air. Bro. 849 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 1: There's little statistics that I think this shit you went 850 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: way left with murder. But I'm gonna give you a 851 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: really quick example. I don't think so. 852 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 2: I have a friend that, without giving too much information, 853 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 2: she has a job and then she's like, you know, 854 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 2: I need more money, so I'm gonna get this other job. 855 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: The second job that she saved to me and tell. 856 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 2: Me she was getting requires her to be awake and working, 857 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 2: and she's a mom for like thirty six hours. 858 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: Okay, go to. 859 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 2: Work, and then you don't finish working for like another 860 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 2: thirty six hours when you can lay down, driving, doing 861 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 2: all these things. And I was like, every week, this 862 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 2: is happening when you get this job. So she's like, 863 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 2: I got this job, and I was I'm against it. 864 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 2: I'm like, that's not okay. You know you're driving, sleep deprived, 865 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 2: your body that told all this takes. I'm like, I 866 00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 2: don't think you should do this. And she's like, why 867 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,359 Speaker 2: told you just to kind of like like. 868 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,320 Speaker 1: Talk about it. I didn't call you to like condemn 869 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:05,839 Speaker 1: me on it. 870 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 2: And my response to it was like, look, we know 871 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 2: scientifically that if you don't sleep and you don't rest, 872 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 2: things go downhill. So I just want you to be careful, 873 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 2: go ahead and do the job. And as your friend, 874 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, please watch your health and how it's 875 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 2: moving and how it feels and try to find something else. 876 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,359 Speaker 2: Really what I wanted to say, and she probably listens 877 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,439 Speaker 2: to I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with you? 878 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 2: Don't you fucking know that's a dumb ass idea. But 879 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 2: she has different circumstances than I do. She has different 880 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,240 Speaker 2: Her life is different, what she has to do is different, 881 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,879 Speaker 2: her responsibilities are different, everything is different, her journey is different. 882 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 1: So if I would have came. 883 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 2: Out with what when my brain was thinking at the time, 884 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 2: which is usually pretty fucking judging, you like, that's so 885 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 2: fucking stupid. What do you mean, get a different job, 886 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 2: go somewhere else. But this is what's in front of 887 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 2: her right now, and what she chose. Hey, just be 888 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 2: careful with the time. There is a way that I 889 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 2: could have talked to her where it could have off 890 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 2: for her. She would have been like, you know what, 891 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 2: I don't want to be friends with you because I 892 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 2: don't like the way you're talking to me. And I 893 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 2: would have understood it, but I've also would have felt 894 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 2: shitty because who am I to tell her? 895 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: Don't fucking do well?

Well in 896 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: this economy, well, I mean. 897 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 2: Health issues, and I know that this can cost this 898 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 2: little death, literal death. 899 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,919 Speaker 1: I get that. I wouldn't blame her. I would blame 900 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,760 Speaker 1: shout out to antidet. That's capitalism. I don't think I've 901 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,800 Speaker 1: been what people choose to do for work and money 902 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: because I've had to don their health. Oh bitch, I've 903 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: fucked for money, and that's at by house. Like I 904 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: I in this economy, I'm not gonna lie with where 905 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: jobs are hard to get. Like my mom calls me 906 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,280 Speaker 1: every time we talk on the phone. She complains about 907 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: this job that she's had for the last I don't know, 908 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: ten fifteen years now, she talks about leaving. It's difficult. 909 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: I just tell her, girl, you're not gonna leave, but okay, 910 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: go ahead and like to me, the job market and 911 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: how so one makes a living is something that I 912 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: actually don't actually ever condemn or have anything to say 913 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,720 Speaker 1: about people, whether you choose to be a sex worker, 914 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:13,720 Speaker 1: a stripper, a podcaster, working nine to five, work in corporate, 915 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,280 Speaker 1: go to school to be something. I'm here for people 916 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: making a living, however they have to make a living. 917 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 1: You're like, I've had to fuck for money, you like, 918 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: but it's not only But I just want to say, 919 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's any but it's anyone to me bringing 920 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 1: in a light like all the thing that we're talking 921 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: about is the decision in terms of relationships, being with 922 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 1: them and having a baby. That's what the premise of 923 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 1: this episode is. And in terms of expressing your thoughts 924 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 1: on that thing, I'm going to say what I want 925 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: to say how I want to say it, and if 926 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:43,879 Speaker 1: you don't like it, you don't have to be my friend. 927 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's wrong to sit here and 928 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: judge anyone. I think it's why we are judging God 929 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: damn Cardi because we wanted her to do better. And 930 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 1: it's why I'm a judge my motherfucking friends, because bitch, 931 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: I want better for you. Yeah. 932 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,640 Speaker 2: And I think sometimes when just for those listening, not you, 933 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 2: you don't want it, but those listening think about the 934 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 2: fact that when it's a friend and it is someone 935 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 2: that you love, there's a way that within love you 936 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,720 Speaker 2: can get through better than through judgment. 937 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 1: And again it's just coming from the judges. 938 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 2: People think I'm the judgest person in the world, and 939 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 2: I am at times coming from the space of I 940 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 2: want better for you, yes, But sometimes when you want 941 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 2: better and you say it in a way that is 942 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 2: judgmental or bringing them down. It just doesn't it doesn't 943 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 2: help the situation. 944 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna do.

And so there's 1013 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 1: disingenuine there one moment. I think it's disingenuine too. If 1014 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: you say that someone, oh my god, you are so beautiful. 1015 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 1: If you tell somebody that and in your mind you 1016 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: think that they're ugly as fuck, you're performative and disingenuine. 1017 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 1: If I think that you was stupid bitch and the 1018 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 1: decision you made is stupid as fuck, I'm not gonna 1019 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 1: tell you I don't think the decision is stupid as fuck, 1020 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,520 Speaker 1: because now I'm lying, I'm being disingenuine and I'm being performative.

So I think it's 1023 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 2: more going in there. If you don't think someone is 1024 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 2: beautiful and they're ugly, then don't tell them beautiful. 1025 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,439 Speaker 1: That's a point. So then okay, I guess you're telling 1026 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 1: me this. 1027 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,280 Speaker 2: You know what, you want to give them a compliment, 1028 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,959 Speaker 2: maybe that day their hair looks really good. 1029 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 1: Wow, your curls look really good today.

I don't 1041 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: want to be brought into the decision making that you're 1042 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 1: not say anything at all. Oh that's a choice too. 1043 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 2: You can absolutely just say nothing at all, because what 1044 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 2: you're doing is you're cutting. You're choosing to cut and 1045 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 2: then say and but here's a band aid. I'm not 1046 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,319 Speaker 2: gonna come around you with my sword.

If you truly feel that way, you 1051 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 2: don't have a nicer way to say it. Don't say 1052 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 2: anything at all.

After a certain 1060 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,840 Speaker 1: amount of time of repeating my thoughts on something, I 1061 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 1: will I will gladly about out of ever having those 1062 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:56,120 Speaker 1: conversations with someone that I don't feel like realistically will 1063 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: take my advice and realistically doesn't want to hear my 1064 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: though on it. And if my thoughts are not aligned 1065 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,840 Speaker 1: with your behavior or your thoughts on yourself, there's no 1066 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,439 Speaker 1: conversation to be had now with your friends.

No, but that's where you carly, You're 1069 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,399 Speaker 1: you are literally speaking out of both sides of your mouth. 1070 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 1: You said, if you don't have nothing nice, if you 1071 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: don't have we're there, Well, that's already happen. Okay, now, 1072 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,839 Speaker 1: but now you're playing semantics. It's either if you don't 1073 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 1: have nothing nice, don't say it at all, or don't 1074 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:34,920 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like we're speaking on 1075 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 1: those sides.
