00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:33,720

Speaker 2: And you're a real fan of him, right, I'm a

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: real fan. I was excited because I don't feel like

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: he does a lot of anything.

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 4: He doesn't.

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was just hype that he came up here.

17
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: So let's run that back also today. Of course, we

18
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: want to make sure that we shine a light because

19
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: that's how we always start the show.

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: So much happened these past few days.

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: I keep on saying when Uncle Murder does his wrap

22
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: up this year, I'm thinking about all the things that

23
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: will be included. You know, the fastest settlement of thinking

24
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: entertainment history. One day did he settle with Cassie. But

25
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: you know, we'll continue to discuss what does that actually mean.

26
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: He's saying it doesn't mean that he's guilty. But I

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: don't think that you would settle with somebody unless you

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: felt like it was in your best interest for some reason.

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: All right, So we'll discuss that more. Maybe we'll have

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: an attorney come on the show to kind of break

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: it down. But anyway, let's get into shine a light.

00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: Let's start the show off with some positivity. Eight hundred

Speaker 2: a light. And you know who I want to shine

43
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: a light on. Man, I went to go eat at

44
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: this restaurant over the weekend, Jasmine's Caribbean in the city.

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: It's on forty six Street in Manhattan. So if you

46
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: go to the theater, you can go right there. Afterwards.

47
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: It's not that far from the garden. But Jasmine Jasmine

48
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: owns Jasmin's. Her name is Jasmine Gerald, and she also

49
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: has a new restaurant on the same block.

50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: It's called Simr.

51
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: It's a restaurant concept, but it's all Caribbean and it

52
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: specializes in food from like Dominica and Tiga, Saint Thomas, Trinidad,

53
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: and Jamaica. And so being a black woman and thriving

54
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: in a space like that in restaurant row right by

55
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: where all the Broadway plays are is no easy fee.

56
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: I don't know any other restaurant like that over there.

57
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big deal to be over there.

58
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a huge deal. And when I tell you,

59
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: the food is amazing. I ate at Jasmin's, but then

60
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: they also have food at Simeir, so I have to

61
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: assume if the food is good there. It's it's literally

62
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: the same block, you know. And her mom was working

63
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: in the kitchen. So her mom came out from the

64
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: kitchen and was like, oh, you got to come see

65
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: the place down the block. The newer spot opened five

66
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: months ago, and so it's still pretty new. But when

67
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: I tell you, it was packed and it was amazing.

68
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: So I just want to shine a light on Jasmine.

69
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: It's not an easy thing to be in that space,

70
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: to be a black woman, to be a Caribbean woman,

71
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: because you know, I love Caribbean food is my number

72
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: one favorite type of food. So we'll be there a lot. Now,

73
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: who do you, guys want to spread the love to?

Speaker 5: my man for eight years. We have two funds together,

130
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 5: and I just don't know why he hasn't notoped the

131
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 5: person yet.

132
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: What does he say when you ask him?

133
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 5: So he kind of just like says he wants to

134
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: do it, but he does not like take me a

135
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: ring shopping or it's kind of like I have to

136
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: bring it up to him for us to discuss it.

137
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: So he's not against it, he's saying he is planning

138
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: to do it. He's just kind of like okay with

139
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: how everything is right now, So it seems like he's, uh,

140
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: if you're not going to say anything, he's.

141
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: Not going to say anything right see.

142
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 7: And I'm just like, I don't know if I messed

143
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 7: up because I let him move and which prior to

144
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 7: all of this, but we've been living together since before

145
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 7: both my sons, So I'm like, does he just feel

146
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 7: so comfortable that he doesn't have to do it now?

147
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: And does he is he aware of how important it

148
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: is to you or do you feel like you don't

149
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: want to nag him about it, and you just try

150
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: to bring it up to test it.

151
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 8: Oh, he's over.

152
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 5: I don't add to him more than enough. I feel

153
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 5: like it's to the point where I'm actually pushing him away.

154
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: Well, you know this is a deal breaker for you,

155
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: is what it seems like. And what I think you

156
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: have to do is be serious about it, because sometimes

157
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: people don't act because they know you're still going to

158
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: be there. So maybe there is a timeline like look

159
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: to be completely honest, and you should have this at

160
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: a time when y'all are not arguing, have a conversation,

161
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: you know, when nobody's emotions are high, because it is

162
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: going to end up being an emotional topic. But let

163
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: him know this is something that is extremely important to me.

164
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: This is potentially a deal breaker. You are the person

165
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: that I want to marry, and if this can't happen,

166
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: then I don't know if we can continue this relationship.

167
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: And so I will give you six months to figure

168
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: out what it is that you want to do, and

169
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: in that period of time, you know, you can weigh

170
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: out the pros and cons and if in six months

171
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: you can't figure it out, then maybe we should not

172
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: live together. Anymore and figure out what we're going to

173
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: do with the future because we're not aligned, because it's

174
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: not fair to you. If it's something that he really

175
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: doesn't want and it's something that you do want, then

176
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: ultimately at some point somebody's not going to be happy.

177
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 7: Yes, And I feel like I'm like two steps ahead

178
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 7: of you because I'm going to given him to the

179
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 7: end of this year.

180
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 5: I'm like, it's eight years.

181
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: That's I'm like, if I don't have and that's like

182
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: a month.

183
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 5: And you better get it together.

184
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: But you know, but you are right. You have to

185
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: show that you mean business.

186
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: You have to put a time on it, be rational

187
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: and and just let him know this is very important

188
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: to me and you are the person. It's not that

189
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: I just want to get married. I want to get

190
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: married to you and I want you to feel like

191
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: this about me, and if you don't, then maybe this

192
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: is something that we have to figure out. What are

193
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: we going to do moveing forward? And so part of

194
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: that might be, you know, what, I need to spend

195
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: some time in my own space. Let's plan for you

196
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: to find your own place or however you guys plan.

197
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: To do that and take it from there.

198
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: Sometimes people don't see how serious it is, like they say,

199
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: you don't know what you got till it's gone. Right,

200
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: Maybe he needs a wake up call of not being

201
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: there with you and realizing this is the person. Then

202
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: he'll be like, you know what, I can't live without you.

203
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: I want to be with you forever. This is important

204
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: to you, and I realize now, bang bang bang. If not,

205
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 2: the worst case scenario is your breakup and go your

206
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: separate ways, and it just wasn't meant to be. But

207
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want you to not get what

208
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: you want out of this relationship.

209
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: That's not fair.

210
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: You shouldn't have to compromise on something so important to you, right.

211
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: Thank you so much. I appreciate the.

213
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: in his court. This is what I want. If it's

214
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,960

Speaker 2: a different space.

247
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 9: Problems was probably like my first I would consider like

248
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 9: crazy relationship because I do a pretty good job of

249
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 9: picking them, and this was this was a moment when

250
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 9: everybody around me had more context to who the person

251
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 9: was and they were like, don't do it, you don't

252
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 9: want to, and I was like, I can. I can

253
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 9: do whatever I want. That makes you Yeah, It's like, yeah,

254
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 9: I can. Whatever the actual situation is, I can change it.

255
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 9: I can make it to whatever I want it to be.

256
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 9: And obviously I.

257
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: Didn't but to find crazy because guys would be like, yeah,

258
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, for.

259
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 9: Me, crazy is if I'm sleep in the middle of

260
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 9: the night and I feel the covers get snatched off

261
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 9: of me and you in full argument mode and I'm

262
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 9: just laying there like this doesn't happen to me, Like

263
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 9: I don't deal with people who don't have conversations like

264
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 9: in a normal fashion.

265
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: And I don't even know how you got in the

266
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: house at that very Yeah.

267
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 9: No, it's literally like, what time is it, How did

268
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 9: you get here? Why are you snatching the covers off

269
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 9: of me? What are you talking about?

270
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: How did she get in?

271
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: She was finding her way in.

272
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: A couple of times, That's what I mean.

273
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 3: Like, there was one time when I.

274
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 9: Had to leave that exact crib because I knew she

275
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 9: was on the way based off of somebody like being like, y'all,

276
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 9: I just saw her at this event.

277
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: Pulling up The important question is what did you do

278
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: that's her to set.

279
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: Her off like that.

280
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 9: I was starting to just break off the relationship, and

281
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 9: not in like a crazy way. It was just me

282
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 9: starting to see her patterns like if you lose about

283
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 9: three or four jobs in a row, and if you like,

284
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 9: the motivation just wasn't there, and I'm starting to see

285
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 9: what everybody else was talking about and that just doesn't

286
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 9: inspire me. So it just got to the part where

287
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 9: I was like, I can't really do this no more,

288
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 9: and I don't want to do this anymore. We can

289
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 9: be cool, but we can't be in a relationship. And yeah,

290
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 9: she she didn't really take that too.

291
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that'ching the covers off somebody?

292
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 10: Why?

293
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 9: I imagine, Yeah, it was moments people would be texting

294
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 9: me like, bro, she's at the back door.

295
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 3: I can hear it, like, were you worry pajamas at least?

296
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

297
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: I wear them a little night clothes. I was.

298
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 9: And the other thing is just like that wasn't even

299
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 9: my crib, so it's even more of a violation. It's like,

300
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 9: this is my manager's house. Oh yeah, and you didne

301
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 9: got in some kind of ways.

302
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: But that resulted in a great, a classic song.

303
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't take any of it back.

304
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,479
Speaker 3: Does that person know that they inspired? Absolutely?

305
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, for sure.

306
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: It's way up with angela. Ye, and yes we are

316
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 9: around you, but to me, you look like a mess,

317
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 9: and continuously like checking me in moments where I felt

318
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 9: my ego get out of hand and I felt my

319
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 9: reactions start to become like it just wasn't like me.

320
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 9: It's like I'm responding to things in ways that I

321
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 9: don't normally respond to things.

322
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm getting angry or quicker.

323
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 9: And once I started to notice like my personality was

324
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 9: taken the back road, I'm like, something ain't right. And

325
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 9: I really got to talk to somebody because otherwise we'll

326
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 9: be back at square one.

327
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: I'll be making free black two.

328
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 3: And did you pick the right therapist the first time?

329
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: Or did you have she was already there waiting for me.

330
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what took me.

331
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 9: Like I knew about her months before I actually like

332
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 9: picked up the phone and called her. And like I said,

333
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 9: I waited until the very last argument when things were

334
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 9: like about to fall apart, and I just called her

335
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 9: one day, like I guess we supposed to be talking.

336
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 9: And it was funny because she had a session with

337
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 9: one of my friends during that same exact time, and

338
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 9: the bet was she's not gonna pick up because she

339
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 9: got to do me in the hour.

340
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: And I was like, if I call her right now, talk.

341
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I called her and we talked

342
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 9: for at least like an hour. But yeah, she she

343
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 9: feels like every space that I needed for a therapist.

344
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 9: Sometimes it feels like a sister, It feels like an auntie,

345
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 9: your mom. Sometimes it feels just like a friend. Sometimes

346
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 9: she cuts me out. Sometimes she's like talking soft, letting

347
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 9: me know, let it out. If you gotta cry, cry,

348
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 9: if you want to laugh, laugh, if you said this,

349
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 9: that ain't it. If you said this, then good job

350
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 9: stand on that. So I just needed like an outside

351
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 9: perspective and somebody who wasn't biased or next to me

352
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 9: in my life because I had got to the point

353
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 9: where not too many people around me were willing to

354
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 9: check me.

355
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,880
