00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,720

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 3: a guy come on here, but maybe I'll be the first.

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 4: Please bear with me. I do have my son in

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 4: the car.

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: Okay, you not with You're not the first.

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: Out with my significant other for probably a little bit

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: over three years.

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 4: We just had our second child a week ago, and

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 4: I would.

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 3: Say within these last three years I have been having

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: issues with you know, her not wanting to grow and

27
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: just you know, help me push you know forth in

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: my business, you know, and and and just help help me.

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: Just just be that that woman for me that they

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: can sense. So when we had our first child, I

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: you know, gave her the option to go to work

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: or stay home, and she is not to stay home.

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: And and and that's how I like it.

34
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 4: Man. I feel like, you know, any I feel like.

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: Own black men shouldn't have their significant other, uh stay

36
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: home and.

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: And take care of the household while we're out doing

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: the farmwork. And my Max was just trying to build

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: and grow my business.

40
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: And you just make sure that my family never have

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: to go to work. And I would say, one of

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: the things that really gauzes me is we're avery almost home, buddy,

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: is that she does.

44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: Not put forth any effort to show that she values

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 4: he has been while I'm not here going to work

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 4: for difficult people, if you know what I mean. It's

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 4: just as a black man working out in an American

48
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 4: assistance of all in general.

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: But I'm sacrificing that so she ain't got to deal

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 3: with it.

51
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 4: And I don't wh I keep my boys on, you know,

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: so while.

53
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: I'm putting forth, you know, my hardest work, working overtime

54
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: every day, putting network on Saturdays, and then coming home

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: and working the extra you know, three to four hours

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: on my own personal business that I've.

57
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: Been working on for the last you know, four years

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: or so.

59
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: I need her to ask me step up and hold

60
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: it down at the house, and she has.

61
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: Not been doing that.

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 3: Like literally for the last three years some of my relationships,

63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: she has literally not done anything.

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: And I said rules, like, hey, if.

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: You're gonna be in stay at home mom, you went

66
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: to homeschool like kids, let's start working on the curriculum

67
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: for them, you know, because I don't agree with the

68
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: public school system. I feel like young black men should

69
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: be taught differently. And it's just like she doesn't do anything. Man,

70
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: it just bothers me, and it kind of kills my

71
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: sex drive with her, because like when I come home

72
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: every single day of the week and I'm so pissed

73
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: off because not only I'm dealing with these white folks

74
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: at work, I got to come home to a dirty house,

75
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: food not being cooked, you know a lot of the

76
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: times I'm cooking, and just she's just not holding her

77
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: up her end of the day. If I know, no

78
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: means I am not going to break up with her.

79
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: I cannot destroy my family like that. You know. I

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: got two boys that needs me and the two playing household.

81
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: It's just that's extremely important to me because I didn't

82
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: have that and it affected me a lot.

83
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: But when you're dealing with somebody who don't respect growth

84
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: and developing themselves as a you know, person in general,

85
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: it really bothers me.

86
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: And You've got a lot of people who are just

87
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: okay with just.

88
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: Going to work and and just looking forward to the weekend,

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: and I'm not. And I'm like, I'm.

90
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: Grinding, and I need my partner to know, like, hey.

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: I need you to grind with me one quickst album.

92
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: With my business, you know, I'm probably projected to make

93
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: an extra thirty to fifty thousand dollars in my small

94
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: business this year.

95
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: But I'm doing everything by myself.

96
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 3: Like I have to answer all the emails, I have

97
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: to talk to.

98
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: The people that I hired to work for me to.

99
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: Do some software stuff and engineering type stuff. I gotta

100
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: do all that. And it would really suit me to

101
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: have her hands as emails, have her contact, or even

102
00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: have her do.

103
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 4: Some social media stuff for me. But it's literally like

104
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: she doesn't really value it.

105
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: And like, sexually, I love it if I love having

106
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: sex with her, but for me to boost my energy

107
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: with her, it's just like I need some type of

108
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 3: intellect between us to be formed, because like, it just

109
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: doesn't really drive me to want to be so romantic

110
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: when I have somebody who don't even care about growth.

111
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: And I would say we are.

112
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: In therapy right now, but I don't really see therapy

113
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: working when I have already communicated.

114
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: Her like, hey, look, look if I need you.

115
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: Like it's tough out here, man, and I need you

116
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: to you know, I need you to pick up that

117
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 3: second half.

118
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: Of me while I'm at work.

119
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: And I do understand what got kids and she's a

120
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: stay at home mom, but imagine if she had to

121
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: go to work, and it'd be a lot different.

122
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: My question to you is like how do I how do.

123
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: I get her to understand the value that she brings

124
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: to me as for one being at being at home

125
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: taking care of kids, having a freedom not to go

126
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: to work, and didn't deal with the bullshit.

127
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: I deal with, you know, It's like, how do I

128
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 4: get that through her? Because like I have already maxed

129
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: out of my life. I bought my second house when

130
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: I was twenty nine years old. I make good money,

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: you know, I got my family.

132
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: You know, it's just the thing that's lacking is that

133
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: that woman. Man Like, I need her to pick up

134
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,000

Speaker 1: You want to be talking talking to the stranger about

161
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: my mom. Nigga, come on home, get me out this car.

162
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: All right? Anyway, all right, let's get to that. And

163
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: then secondly, thank you so much.

164
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate you and and the fact that you complimented

165
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: my reading or whatever, which is why I'm glad that

166
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: you sent them the voice. No, nigga, ha ha, so

167
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: I would have to read just shit because that was long.

168
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: But let's jump into it. So obviously, either you two

169
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: are from totally different walks of life, you know, y'all,

170
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: y'all are bought up different differently. You know, you care

171
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: about things that at twenty nine, like you said, you

172
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: was already buying your second property. You know what I'm saying,

173
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: as opposed to the average twenty nine year old ain't

174
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: thinking about that, you get what I'm saying, Or just

175
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: another twenty nine year old, you know, could be thinking

176
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: about what she gonna wake up and post on social

177
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: media tomorrow. You know, it's just it's different walks of

178
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: life that different paths, different mindsets, different thinking. Okay, now,

179
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: you let this go on for three years. You told

180
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: me three years. I'm just quoting you three That's what

181
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: Also like when y'all send voice notes in because I

182
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: can challenge what you said.

183
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: Three years.

184
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: You let this go on. Okay, Now, I know you

185
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: said you've talked to her and everything. I'm gonna just

186
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: give you a couple things that it could be if

187
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: it ain't the different worlds.

188
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: Okay, she just had a baby. That baby sounds fairly young.

189
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: I think you said he's a couple months or no,

190
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: you should she just had a baby a week ago

191
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: something like that.

192
00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: I know you just said that.

193
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: You y'all have a newborn, of course, a small infant child.

194
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about maybe she is having post

195
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: traumatic stress disorder? Have you thought about like, maybe she

196
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: is miserable in her own right, Maybe she wants to

197
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: do something else so badly with her life. Maybe she

198
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be a stay at home mom just

199
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: because that's the mold that you want her to fit.

200
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: Me, because that's what you see for her.

201
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought that maybe she had dreams but

202
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: she put them aside to have your two babies.

203
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying.

204
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Have you thought about the fact that what's running through

205
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: her mind when you are out there and those two

206
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: babies are that she's not getting proper sleep.

207
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: Have you thought about that?

208
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: Now?

209
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: These are not excuses, these are facts, and this could

210
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: very well be what's going on with her.

211
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: I just want to tell you don't.

212
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: And I know you're not discrediting her, and I know

213
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: that you feel that you have given her grace, But

214
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: have you you got to think about that? Have you

215
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: given her grace all right until you are able to

216
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: have a baby and then have another one and then

217
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: you want me to cook and clean and still you

218
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: know now, listen, it's been done. I'm not sitting here

219
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: telling you that it is not possible, because baby, it

220
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: is possible.

221
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: It's possible. Black women do it every day.

222
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: White women do it every day, Hispanic women do All

223
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: other women do it every day. I'm not here to

224
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: narrow it down to race, but I'm just saying women

225
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: do it every day. Okay, so it is not impossible,

226
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: but everybody is different. Their mindsets are different. Okay, everybody

227
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: is not strong after birth mentally.

228
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying.

229
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: And then you say you bought up the thing of Okay,

230
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: we can do therapy, but I feel like me talking

231
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: to her should be enough, should be mm hmm. Because

232
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: you're in the house, you have a bias opinion. You

233
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: know you're in it. Maybe y'all do need a professional. Okay,

234
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: I understand.

235
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:49,800

Speaker 1: her side. You come home to a dirty house, you

Speaker 1: crying for a little minute. Y'all go sit in the

261
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,400

Speaker 1: sex or I don't feel like I'm sexually attracted to

267
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: you because you know, I feel like you're lazy. Let

268
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: me figure out why I feel like you're lazy. Let's

269
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: figure out why you are changing or whatever you said.

270
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: It's been three years, sir, Why haven't y'all gotten therapy?

271
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: If this shit has not changed you like you said

272
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned therapy, y'all don't need that because you ain't

273
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: the therapist here, you know, because you have a biased opinion,

274
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: and you're already kind of frustrated.

275
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: You're already frustrated with it.

276
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: So if she's frustrated and you're frustrated, that's all it's

277
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: gonna be is just boom knocking heads, knocking heads, you

278
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Instead of knocking the boots, y'all

279
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: need to get back to y'all. Y'all sexual spice. Y'all

280
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: need to be able to put them babies down. She

281
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: needs a schedule, she needs a schedule, she needs to

282
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: prioritize certain things.

283
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: But you have to get through to her mental first.

284
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: Make sure she's mentally okay and not just being lazy,

285
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: because we can always mistake what we think somebody is

286
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: going through for some shit that they're actually really going through.

287
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: You get me, I hope you getting me all right now.

288
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: I absolutely applaud you for putting me in your business

289
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: because you did not you absolutely did not have to

290
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: do this.

291
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: But I'm happy.

292
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: And no, you're not the first man to come on

293
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: and actually ask for my advice on an issue.

294
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: And thank you for being so open and vulnerable.

295
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, most of our black men do not feel comfortable,

296
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, And because you came to me with the situation.

297
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: I know that you would be down for therapy. I

298
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: know you got to get inside your woman's brain. Babe,

299
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: you have to we hurt just like y'all hurt. You

300
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: are a black man. You are a black man, which means, yeah,

301
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: it is a lot harder for you in this world,

302
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: whatever industry you in, whatever workforce you and than other races.

303
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 2: Of course, you get me. You get what I'm saying.

304
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's hard for us too,

305
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: all right, to be the bore of the house.

306
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: You know, we bear everything. You get what I'm saying.

307
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: If you love me, you'll listen to this commercial and

308
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: then we'll be right back. That beautiful woman of yours

309
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: probably don't feel beautiful no more. You understand what I'm saying,

310
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: So you have to meet her on those levels, and

311
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: you already working hard.

312
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: You are. I'm applauding both of you.

313
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: I want it to be that communication where y'all take

314
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't even want to call it the ego and pride,

315
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: take all the hardness away, take the defense away. Try

316
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: not to offend her so much, give her grace in

317
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: the conversation. Babe, Look what's wrong we need to see

318
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: a professional.

319
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: Let's do it. You know, maybe you should take.

320
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know how your finances are set up,

321
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: set up, maybe you should take maybe one week or

322
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: even four days off of work, three four days off

323
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: work and live in her world and see watch her

324
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: everyday pattern. I'm not gonna say, put cameras in the house,

325
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: because what the fuck. You ain't spying on your girl.

326
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you said your wife or your girl.

327
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: You're not spying on her. You want to have a

328
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: day in the life of her. First, You're not home

329
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: with them babies all day, not all day, all right,

330
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: you got to come home and cook dinner. Compromise that compromise,

331
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, until she gets on the schedule. Then you

332
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: said you also have a small business that allows you

333
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: to make maybe thirty to fifty thousand dollars extra. I

334
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: applaud you for that too, black man. Yes, I do, Yes,

335
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: I do. But listen to me. Maybe she does need

336
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: something to do, you know, maybe that can give her

337
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: some motivation. All right, Shit, if I feel like I'm working,

338
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing something. Maybe if and then pay her a

339
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: little something, go get her and you know, so she

340
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: go get her nails, and I told done feel good

341
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: while she's mommying all day, you know, while she's wifing

342
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: all day. These are wifely duties. You understand that shit

343
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: ain't easy. And I'm not a wife yet, but I

344
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: know plenty, I know many. I'm a daughter of one. Listen,

345
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: I know, I know what it takes. You know, I'm

346
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: not a man, but I'm a daughter of a man

347
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: who was married to my mom for decades, all right,

348
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: three uh over three?

349
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: So I know that's not hard.

350
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: And I know that it sucks like hell for a

351
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: man to feel like he cannot provide for his family.

352
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: So that's where your mindset is, and I love that

353
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: for you, But I want you to give her the

354
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: grace in the conversation to make her feel safe enough

355
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: to tell you, baby, I don't feel I don't know,

356
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Maybe she don't even

357
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: know how to communicate that. You know, because you always

358
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: come home on ten. You know, I'm not saying you're

359
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: trying to knock her head off. Don't get don't get

360
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: that mixed up the listeners either.

361
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.

362
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: He's coming home violently verbally attacking her and shit, no, no,

363
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: no, no no, but she's very fragile. She just had another baby.

364
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: She's very fragile. Treated that way all right. I'm not

365
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: saying coddle her and make excuses and all of that,

366
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: but you still have to understand we're very fragile. You

367
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: want we give birth and PTSD. I think that's it.

368
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: That is very real. That is very real. I just

369
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: saw a video the other day of a woman screaming

370
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: to the top of her lungs at her baby in

371
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: her baby's face.

372
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: I hate you, I hate you. The baby was crying.

373
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: What was the husband doing recording his wife doing that

374
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: shit instead of removing the baby, removing the fucking baby

375
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: from the room. And then when he posted it, he

376
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: captioned it, my wife has pt AS the I mean,

377
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: she has post traumatic disorder. She has she's not she's

378
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: not been well. So why the fuck are you recording

379
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: or posting or putting on the internet embarrassing her? Probably

380
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: not enough, fucking right, mind. She was a home mom

381
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: as well, a stay at home mom as well. I

382
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: totally agree that you don't even want your kids to

383
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: be in school? Is she the one to teach them?

384
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: A curriculum? This is what we got also understand, all right?

385
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: Is she the one to do that? Or would you

386
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: recommend that you guys get what like a nanny tutor

387
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: or something, somebody to help her, somebody to be there

388
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: with her. That she had friends? Does she have somebody

389
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: that she can talk to? She just probably needs to

390
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: open up to somebody. She probably feels suffocated.

391
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: You understand what I'm saying. How old is she?

392
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Like, give me a little bit more feedback on it.

393
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm not beating you up. I'm not

394
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: beating you down.

395
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: Brother. I actually really do love that you came to

396
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: me with this story. All right. This is the first

397
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: time I've actually gotten a story like this. It's very

398
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: relatable and it's very real.

399
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: I just want you to understand, like I understand that

400
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: you need her, but she needs you too. You understand

401
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. She needs you and the babies need y'all.

402
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: So y'all got to make sure y'all straight for these babies.

403
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: You know, I know you don't want to leave her.

404
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: I can tell you love her, I can tell you

405
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: hold her to a higher standard. I can tell no,

406
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: you don't need no motherfucking side piece honey, because before

407
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: you know it, you're gonna have to take care of.

408
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: That one too.

409
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: Don't play with it, all right, because what you're doing

410
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: for your wife, the side piece gonna look up and

411
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: then you know, or your girl, main girl sidepiece gonna

412
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: look up like, oh sure we can take care of me.

413
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: No, bitch, keep it moving.

Speaker 1: He got two children and he got he got a

415

Speaker 1: home to fix right now. So no side pieces ain't

416
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: never the way to go unless you motherfucking leave her.

417
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: And you ain't trying to do that because you told

418
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: me so. I want you to take into consideration that

419
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: we need y'all to we do. And I know it

420
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,159

00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: lot going on already. I know what it feels like.
