Speaker 1: Asked someone who got engaged on Valentine's Day. It's corny
Speaker 1: and ship because when you asked me, I was excited.
Speaker 1: At the same time, I was like, nigger, really Valentine's
Speaker 1: Uh huh, what a basic ass move is this? Wow?
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to hold up the show. That's a whole
Speaker 1: lot about it, very little. I am one of your
Speaker 1: co hosts. My name is Josh Johnson, and I am
Speaker 1: joined by those love you could could do do je
Speaker 1: So you're just not gonna say what you do at
Speaker 1: all already? Oh yeah, it's those like so cresparted for
Speaker 1: the Daily Show. I do the voice of honey Bee
Speaker 1: on The Great North. I produce Lavo Sharpe's One Woman's show,
Speaker 1: Don't Reach in the Bag? Um, I get residual checks.
Speaker 1: What else do I do? My mom doesn't work, She's
Speaker 1: got two phones. It's great. Um, I'm a cat lover
Speaker 1: because dogs are booted. Okay, Well, I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 1: And this show is where you and I debate topics
Speaker 1: that people need to be discussing all the time. We're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this government thing, NATO. People don't know what NATO is.
Speaker 1: People don't know some people know what NATO is. Like
Speaker 1: we can at least the Peter with NATO know what
Speaker 1: NATO is. You know how many people all right Nato?
Speaker 1: I think at least a handful some people know what
Speaker 1: NATO is? Yeah, but like what's Unesco? What's the world?
Speaker 1: W the G eight? What do they do? This is
Speaker 1: why we have this show so we don't have to
Speaker 1: talk about serious things like that. You know, and the
Speaker 1: G five is And I can tell you it's not
Speaker 1: a plane. It's just regular, you know, everyday things that
Speaker 1: we feel passionately about that people actually do know about.
Speaker 1: You know. Today's Today's is close to our hearts in
Speaker 1: in a in a figurative and a literal sense. Today's
Speaker 1: topic is Valentine's Day? Romantic can you be? Or is
Speaker 1: it not? How sad can you be? I February? So
Speaker 1: doun't say tell the people which what you landed on?
Speaker 1: So for Valentine's Day, I feel like that it shouldn't
Speaker 1: be only on the romantic code, right, I don't think
Speaker 1: it has to be only I just think that it is.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that was what it was for originally. Well, no,
Speaker 1: that's not true, it was for that originally. I'm saying
Speaker 1: that there are so many types of love, so why
Speaker 1: do we only want to talk about the love. Well,
Speaker 1: you have to put your mouth on somebody, there's other loves.
Speaker 1: You don't put your mouth on anybody. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I see what you mean. I mean I landed on
Speaker 1: the romantic side just because I think that it's the
Speaker 1: one time a year outside of an anniversary where you
Speaker 1: can really flex on the person that you love. It
Speaker 1: it's birthday, well know what I mean? Those are just
Speaker 1: like those are for everybody. So anybody that you have
Speaker 1: in your life that's close to you, you should be
Speaker 1: getting a Christmas present, but you don't have. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: could flex on Christmas. I'm just saying, it's like this
Speaker 1: is a romantic one. This is like the don't hand
Speaker 1: on February. There's Alexus December to remember because it's your
Speaker 1: buy your love when alexis for Christmas? Right, because they
Speaker 1: want your flex hard. Ain't no car companies coming up
Speaker 1: during the Valentine's Day, Like, hey, body's fine wines for
Speaker 1: the Valentine's or you know what is it, Hey, don't
Speaker 1: steal that for me. Don't steal that for me. Don't
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, there definitely are now now that you
Speaker 1: said it, now that you've given it to them on
Speaker 1: an audio platter, thank you so much. And just your ears,
Speaker 1: I know, like for like my mom, every one Valentine's
Speaker 1: Day would give me and my brother presence because it's
Speaker 1: about the lou My mom did something similar. Yeah, your
Speaker 1: mother is the first person who loves you, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's your first Valentine and everything. I get you.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that now as an adult, you know,
Speaker 1: Valentine's Days is an opportunity two just be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can take you to the next level girl and see.
Speaker 1: But what Valentine's They does that it leaves out the
Speaker 1: single people. It makes them said like, if you don't
Speaker 1: think I cry to a Valentine's Day, you're at your
Speaker 1: damn mine. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that you use it. This is what I this
Speaker 1: is what I've even said this in stand up before.
Speaker 1: For every couple that posts like a selfie of them
Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day with like the chocolates and the flowers
Speaker 1: and all this stuff like that, and oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: he proposed whatever you should legally have to also post
Speaker 1: one of you fighting like that, like that should also
Speaker 1: because that's the reality. It's like, you know, there's a
Speaker 1: there's a day where you're nothing but killing it and
Speaker 1: there's a day where you want to kill each other.
Speaker 1: That's just normal life, right, Because as someone who got
Speaker 1: engaged on Valentine's Day, it's corny and ship Compluteing asked me,
Speaker 1: I was excited at the same time, I was like, nigger,
Speaker 1: really Valentine's Uh huh, what a basic ass move is this? Wow? Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, I said, yes, it was still a corny
Speaker 1: but I mean but also after a month I broke
Speaker 1: off the engagement and a month after then I broke
Speaker 1: up with him completely. What I'm saying is that she
Speaker 1: was corny. She was corny. I think it makes more
Speaker 1: people sad than it does happy, is what I personally believe.
Speaker 1: Like you think so yes, because like every year on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, I give out Valentine's to my friends. I
Speaker 1: go and find like the little kid Valentine's used to
Speaker 1: get in like elementary school, or I'll make something. I
Speaker 1: go to Michael's and get like the little like uh
Speaker 1: the little craft kits and make like a little like
Speaker 1: Valentine or something, or I go to the dollar tree,
Speaker 1: like you know, I did it for you at work
Speaker 1: one time I came up look gift back and see
Speaker 1: do I make one for everybody? No? Yea, So now
Speaker 1: I have to like do some fun ones because I
Speaker 1: made some valent lines in lockdown, not like no, when
Speaker 1: we're still working at home, and I made some shout
Speaker 1: out to Cricket for sending me a cricket joy um.
Speaker 1: And I was making them and I was making like
Speaker 1: shaker ones, and they weren't coming out the way I
Speaker 1: wanted them to. And I was afraid to send them
Speaker 1: to people because because they take them by of the envelope.
Speaker 1: And then then I glitter all over their house and sidebar,
Speaker 1: have you seen the video of the girl whose boyfriend
Speaker 1: cheated on her and she threw glitter all over his
Speaker 1: fucking house? No, like she And it wasn't like the
Speaker 1: little things of glitter you get like the like when
Speaker 1: you were a kid. This is like restaurant seasoning size
Speaker 1: containers of glitter. And she went through every room in
Speaker 1: his house and the carpet too, and she had various
Speaker 1: kid bottles with her various colors, and so I'm talking
Speaker 1: about she went in the bed and went through the sheets,
Speaker 1: letter in the tubs, so unnecessary, all the things. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think. So it's just like I get it,
Speaker 1: I get it, then leave, then leave and not not
Speaker 1: really she she left. She left later what I said,
Speaker 1: And I saw a quote that said, uh, she broke
Speaker 1: nothing but destroyed everything. Yeah, I mean, if you like,
Speaker 1: here's the thing glitter in his deviled eggs. Yes, that's hilarious,
Speaker 1: Like glitter in the kitchen means glitter and all the food.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, this is a man. It
Speaker 1: was a he's a white man's house, and she wouldn't
Speaker 1: like she threw glitter in the refrigerator. But it was nothing.
Speaker 1: But it hit nothing. Yeah, just hit the catchup bottle.
Speaker 1: It just hit egg catchup bottle and two cans of
Speaker 1: Coca Cola and a six pack of here because it
Speaker 1: was a white man's house. I'm not to say that
Speaker 1: they don't. But he's also an early twenty so he
Speaker 1: survives off of cereal. Um. Busting out windows, yeah, going
Speaker 1: full carry underwood yeah, yeah is a felony. Uh if
Speaker 1: you cheat on somebody, should you sunk up their ship?
Speaker 1: I don't know, right, someone cheats on you, I guide
Speaker 1: you on me to funk up a ship. No, because
Speaker 1: I know he's still a worthless human being. Time got
Speaker 1: back at him for me. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But like the moment, in the moment, yeah, I wanted to.
Speaker 1: The thing is the way the reason that happened sucked
Speaker 1: me up so bad? Is that the story you're getting
Speaker 1: retold to me because like, oh, I felt guilty. I
Speaker 1: was lying the last time I told you what happened. Actually,
Speaker 1: this is what happened. And I'm like, every time I
Speaker 1: started moving past it was like it was crazy. Every
Speaker 1: time I was like, I was like, okay, I forgave
Speaker 1: him and I started moving past it. He Actually that's
Speaker 1: not the way it went down. This is how it
Speaker 1: went down. I'm just like, bro, shut up. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, if anything, that's the glitter of that's like
Speaker 1: the glitter of like memory, you know, right, But it's like,
Speaker 1: why are you antagonizing me? I got us completely off
Speaker 1: task like I usually do, because we were talking about
Speaker 1: like cheating and stuff like that, because I got proposed
Speaker 1: to Valentine's Day? Corny ass bullshit. Yeah, do you think
Speaker 1: that with Valentine's Day? How about this? They're there are
Speaker 1: gestures that I think I agree or like very corny.
Speaker 1: I think that, um Like, I'm not saying everyone should
Speaker 1: make their Valentine's Day a secret, but I do think
Speaker 1: a lot of it is uh is best left to
Speaker 1: like the couple that's in it, because what you end
Speaker 1: up doing is in sharing your love, you end up
Speaker 1: showing people how like unsettling y'all are? Do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like the thing in high school
Speaker 1: where the girl I was walking on all the balloons
Speaker 1: with the guys walking on all the stuff. Or it's
Speaker 1: like a couple who like they they do way too
Speaker 1: much on Valentine's Day. Yeah, so I think it's a
Speaker 1: romantic holiday and I think that that to me, it
Speaker 1: makes sense. Like even when I've been single, I've been like, Okay,
Speaker 1: well good for them, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 1: I think that it also does give the opportunity for
Speaker 1: people to really show off that they might be out
Speaker 1: of their minds. I mean, I think every day is
Speaker 1: an opportunity that you were out of your mind, and
Speaker 1: if you're not using every day an opportunity to show
Speaker 1: people m that you're out of your mind. Okay, are
Speaker 1: you living your best life? I are you reaching your
Speaker 1: full potential as a human being? Are you doing the work?
Speaker 1: Are you being the best you for you? Are you
Speaker 1: asking real questions? Right now? I can't tell anymore. I
Speaker 1: mean the first one was a little wild, and then
Speaker 1: they just got progressively more insane. I just saying that
Speaker 1: in my life I've spent I'm thirty nine years old,
Speaker 1: so there have been like thirty eight thirty nine Valentine's
Speaker 1: Days in my life. One through fifteen, I guess can't
Speaker 1: count because I was a child. One through doesn't count,
Speaker 1: so one through doesn't count. So I'm talking sixteen to
Speaker 1: thirty nine, right, twenty three years right out them, twenty
Speaker 1: three years, I've probably had maybe five good Valentine's Days
Speaker 1: if I had one at all, five good ones, okay, five,
Speaker 1: just five, and gently just five. Had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: experience of Valentine's Day with a significant other, so I
Speaker 1: don't have to experience the frame of reference. Um, and
Speaker 1: I'm trying to sound like a hater, but I also
Speaker 1: wanted to be like, you know, in the spirit of transparency,
Speaker 1: there's nothing, there's something there's an intersection. There's a really
Speaker 1: beautiful intersection where, um, I don't know, let me, let
Speaker 1: me figure out the best way to describe this. Where
Speaker 1: people take sort of office see like rhetoric or or
Speaker 1: like office language, and they incorporate either that or incorporate
Speaker 1: that into blackness. That makes for beautiful turns of phrase,
Speaker 1: like like really, like do you do you see what
Speaker 1: I mean? Because in the spirit of feels very like
Speaker 1: a CEO was about to tell you that we're out
Speaker 1: of money, right, but when you said transparency, there was
Speaker 1: something that was like that was like, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that this is what corporate America has been missing. It's
Speaker 1: just a black woman at the top of Like, in
Speaker 1: the spirit of transparency, I want to let all of
Speaker 1: you know that you no longer have jobs, you know,
Speaker 1: because right now the emails read very cold. They don't
Speaker 1: read with that sort of uplifting Sunday morning gospel, no
Speaker 1: warmth type of vibe, no warmth right, yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: why I laughed so hard at in the spirit of
Speaker 1: parents see for me, in the spirit of I feel
Speaker 1: like it's a black thing, and then transparency is the
Speaker 1: work thing. Okay, yeah, but you see that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know which thing is, but they're
Speaker 1: they're they're molding together. The melding up things, Yes, is
Speaker 1: in the spiritful transparency. Also, it's also the name of
Speaker 1: the group chat of Um all of us on me
Speaker 1: and my friends with the Bahamas, not with you. I
Speaker 1: always said one text I was I was in the thing.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to the Bamas. And I remember I
Speaker 1: I said what text of Everybody was like, it's a bit, Josh.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be like, yeah, I know. I was
Speaker 1: trying to help. I was like, Josh did good, Josh
Speaker 1: did good. Everybody was like, no, you are here. It's
Speaker 1: a bit. I'm like all right, And I was like,
Speaker 1: we don't have to do like that. I was sitting
Speaker 1: by the pool and y'all had to my friend like that,
Speaker 1: sitting there drinking. JAD like, hey, you have to do
Speaker 1: my friend. I think I'm not trying to sound like
Speaker 1: a hater, but I just spent so many Valentine's Days just,
Speaker 1: you know, not enjoying it. There was other people enjoyed it,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people feel that there
Speaker 1: is a pressure. I also know if you first there's
Speaker 1: also a lot of times where I've I've met someone
Speaker 1: like right before Valentine's Day, that's my favorite, like two
Speaker 1: three weeks way to close. Like when I met the
Speaker 1: mechanic it was like the end of January, and he
Speaker 1: did give me a card. In the front of it said, um,
Speaker 1: I like you, and then we opened the insid and
Speaker 1: it's all your fault, which is very much him. Um
Speaker 1: may no longer have it. I ripped it up and
Speaker 1: throw it away. But but it is a cute card.
Speaker 1: It's in the moment in on Valentine's Day twenty two
Speaker 1: thousand seven. The sentiment was enjoyed by the following year
Speaker 1: and the stubbs the point of years he had a
Speaker 1: great way of not being very dependable around that holiday.
Speaker 1: But that is neither hither nor thither. Um. I will
Speaker 1: say that there does seem to be a convenient Uh,
Speaker 1: there's a kind venient type of argument or trip, like
Speaker 1: something tends to happen. Sometimes broke dudes will start an
Speaker 1: argument with you before Valentine's Day so they can use
Speaker 1: the excuse to not get you anything, and then, you know,
Speaker 1: very conveniently reconcile after the holiday, leaving them to therefore
Speaker 1: think that they are not responsible for giving you anything
Speaker 1: for Valentine's Day. I think it just like us a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure. Like there were a couple of comics
Speaker 1: for this one. I was like, he said, if it
Speaker 1: wasn't for me giving him something, it was five years
Speaker 1: in a world that I gave him something a Valentine's
Speaker 1: Day and it was the only thing you ever got,
Speaker 1: he said. He said he always looked forward because he said,
Speaker 1: he said, I knew if I didn't get anything, I
Speaker 1: knew I would get a card from you, m hm,
Speaker 1: which I always thought was nice because it's like it
Speaker 1: was very sweet. Yeah, because it's like some people don't
Speaker 1: get things and it's like it's we want to act
Speaker 1: like that's like, oh, it doesn't matter, but it's like
Speaker 1: it does make you sad. Yes, it definitely can make
Speaker 1: you sad in in that comparison, but I guess I
Speaker 1: also say that there is something to like having having
Speaker 1: a thing that like My initial point is I think
Speaker 1: that Valentine's Day can and deserves to be romantic because
Speaker 1: it's a it's an extra thing outside of uh, your
Speaker 1: anniversary or birthday or just cause that can be you know,
Speaker 1: a nice night out or like an opportunity to do
Speaker 1: something nice for each other. The the overall um projection
Speaker 1: out to the world is where I think both to me,
Speaker 1: makes people sad, shows people off that they're crazy, and
Speaker 1: creates a weird uh level of comparison, even between couples.
Speaker 1: So the way that I'll admit that Valentine's Day can
Speaker 1: be toxic is, um, there was this time my buddy
Speaker 1: was out to a dinner with his girlfriend. Right, this
Speaker 1: is like and it was one of those um, what
Speaker 1: do you call it? It was. It was one of
Speaker 1: those prefixed menus for Valentine's Day. So it's nothing but
Speaker 1: couples in the restaurant, right, another couple couples right, old
Speaker 1: old hall a bit everything, right, but in the middle
Speaker 1: of dinner service, which is pretty much nine pm, So
Speaker 1: everybody that came in an eight that that might be
Speaker 1: about to leave, everybody that's getting there at nine, and
Speaker 1: people walking in for their nine thirty, this dude gets
Speaker 1: on one knee and proposes to his girlfriend and just
Speaker 1: ruined Valentine's Day for everybody else left in the restaurant,
Speaker 1: because think about it, it's like you got her a
Speaker 1: little bracelet or whatever. This dude got her commitment, and
Speaker 1: you just gotta sit there for the next hour to
Speaker 1: have be like, so do you like your fish? He
Speaker 1: ruined everybody else's romantic evening. That's how my friend described it.
Speaker 1: He was like it sucked all the air out the
Speaker 1: room because every dude in the room was like, God, dang, like,
Speaker 1: why you gotta do that? You can't do that outside.
Speaker 1: You gotta do it in the middle of different Yeah,
Speaker 1: like yes, absolutely, just staring like all right, abrace, it's nice,
Speaker 1: it's not a rain. But also there's probably some women
Speaker 1: in there would be like, God, I hope he doesn't
Speaker 1: do that to me. Now I'm with you. I mean
Speaker 1: he can't. Now imagine if you're the third person to
Speaker 1: propose in the same restaurant and one night, how embarrassing
Speaker 1: that ship would be. That would actually be wild. Is
Speaker 1: like I also have something to say, might as well
Speaker 1: keep clapping? Do it? Sucking spartacus hmm. I saw this
Speaker 1: name and this guy like was like in the middle
Speaker 1: of the mall right, and he bit down on one knee.
Speaker 1: So you see him bent down on one knee, but
Speaker 1: he's holding the ring in one hand, but his he's
Speaker 1: hold the ring in his head is down and then
Speaker 1: you see the girl walking away, right, So she obviously
Speaker 1: said no m and then the caption read she could
Speaker 1: have just said yes and changed her mind later. She
Speaker 1: didn't have to embarrass someone's son in public like that.
Speaker 1: And then the next comment was like the next comment,
Speaker 1: but I think it was like some woman going, first
Speaker 1: of all, fuck you. This is more of a the
Speaker 1: toxic mindset that we have towards women, because it's just like, so,
Speaker 1: you wanted this girl to say yes to him, to
Speaker 1: trick him. So a group of people didn't. So the
Speaker 1: group a straight dingers, Yeah, he's either gonna be embarrassed
Speaker 1: now or embarrassed later. Right, didn't hear her say no?
Speaker 1: It was like someone else said, It's like he probably
Speaker 1: embarrassed her because now she has to tell him no
Speaker 1: in public. Yeah. Like this is the thing where it
Speaker 1: just like we're just it's like that was someone's first
Speaker 1: reaction to singing this because oh my god, she embarrassed him.
Speaker 1: I'll even pitch you this, right. I think we should
Speaker 1: keep Valentine's Day romantic. That's my side of the argument.
Speaker 1: But I do think we should take some of the
Speaker 1: mystery out of proposals because too many people, too many
Speaker 1: people are over here being proposed too wrong or doing
Speaker 1: proposals wrong. It's like depending on who you're with, because
Speaker 1: a proposal is different than a relationship. There are some
Speaker 1: people that are very quiet and very personal that would
Speaker 1: actually love a huge gesture, and then there's people there
Speaker 1: in the opposite, there are people who were like, maybe
Speaker 1: they're in the public eye or whatever, so they want
Speaker 1: their their moment like that to be very personal and intimate. Right,
Speaker 1: I think guest thing is done because people people don't
Speaker 1: play with guessing anymore. So it's like I think that
Speaker 1: there needs to be a conversation. It may not even
Speaker 1: happen that year. I don't even think it should happen
Speaker 1: to me. Obviously it should not happen in the same
Speaker 1: week as you're going to do it. But even if
Speaker 1: it happens in the same year, I think there needs
Speaker 1: to be a conversation way ahead of time of like
Speaker 1: what do you think about you know, proposals, or what
Speaker 1: do you think about this type of proposal or whatever,
Speaker 1: because then you at least get a sense because now
Speaker 1: if somebody's embarrassed, that's on them because they told you
Speaker 1: that's the type of thing that they liked. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: did see something online where someone was like eat her
Speaker 1: and her significant other talked about like, this is the
Speaker 1: kind of ring I want ring. I want to take
Speaker 1: the mestry out of it. You want to be happy,
Speaker 1: tell us what you want about the number of people
Speaker 1: that have been proposed to that are walking around with
Speaker 1: a ring they didn't want ugly ring, but you don't.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to ask because someone's mom or someone's friend
Speaker 1: and all the other ship. But you got a ring
Speaker 1: you didn't want. You got a big gesture and you
Speaker 1: didn't want one, or you got a little gesture and
Speaker 1: you want a big one. You know. It's uh, I'm
Speaker 1: fully with you. There should be no photographer that hot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think. But also it's like because when I got proposed,
Speaker 1: so I didn't know it was coming mm hmm. But
Speaker 1: I start proposed in a bedroom. So but I also
Speaker 1: feel like this this is my thing. You got proposed
Speaker 1: that I didn't have a shirt. I did mine offense,
Speaker 1: neither did he. That would be wild if he came
Speaker 1: into the suit that you don't have a shirt. He
Speaker 1: was like, I'm wearing a bra right now? What are
Speaker 1: you doing it's crazy? Um No. I think that a
Speaker 1: lot of the guests work can be taken out by
Speaker 1: genuinely just having all that communication ahead time. I know
Speaker 1: it takes some of the mystery out of it, which
Speaker 1: is fun for people. But I also think that a
Speaker 1: you you either if you want to live in mystery,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to accept the fact that sometimes you're
Speaker 1: gonna get something that's not gonna be the way you
Speaker 1: want to get it right. Like yeah, when when people
Speaker 1: want their birthday to be spontaneous but they give no direction,
Speaker 1: it's like, I I hope you like whatever I got,
Speaker 1: because the best you know. I think there has to
Speaker 1: be more conversations because like a man I was seeing
Speaker 1: recently asked me to marry him, like within the past year,
Speaker 1: but there was no ring mm hmm, and we were
Speaker 1: just casually eating. I do feel like depending on the
Speaker 1: type of person or pending on their age, it stops
Speaker 1: being less of a proposal and more of just floating ideas.
Speaker 1: Because that's what it sounds like happened in your Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of he was like, what if we got married,
Speaker 1: we should get married. I was like, that's not why
Speaker 1: I am here. Well, to be fair though, since that
Speaker 1: that still leaves the room to do a proper proposal.
Speaker 1: That was him floating the idea. So now if you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think we could get married, like now, he knows
Speaker 1: to do it later. But then it was like I
Speaker 1: was like ah, and he was like I want to
Speaker 1: marry you, and I was like, okay, we should get married.
Speaker 1: All right, retract my previous statement. Yeah, he didn't stop
Speaker 1: saying words I thought. Initially I thought he stopped at
Speaker 1: that part, and I was like, oh, well then now
Speaker 1: you just gotta wait for the countdown until he does.
Speaker 1: But it also I was like, I'd only known him
Speaker 1: for a month. Yeah, but you can't. Can't blame people
Speaker 1: for the effect you have on them. You don't know
Speaker 1: the other dude, I knew him for three months. Yeah. Hey,
Speaker 1: sometimes people just dive in. Don't question it. I get it.
Speaker 1: But it's like, bro, I'm with you. It seems quick
Speaker 1: if I say to you more than once, Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: just having fun. M h, we're just having fun. I
Speaker 1: don't think we're having I don't think he heard what
Speaker 1: I was saying. Yeah, but that's more I will say
Speaker 1: a lot of people do that though. That's a that's
Speaker 1: a huge thing that people have. No matter we always
Speaker 1: talk about communication and stuff, some people will actually communicate.
Speaker 1: They'll look you in your eye and tell you what
Speaker 1: they want and what they need and the other person
Speaker 1: just does not receive it. And so so then you
Speaker 1: you get into a situation of like, what do you
Speaker 1: mean not office is going somewhere. It's like I said
Speaker 1: a long time ago, that we're just chilling and then
Speaker 1: they and then they have a reaction to it, and
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, yeah, you can only
Speaker 1: you can only control what you do. You know, truly,
Speaker 1: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't
Speaker 1: make them that proposed to you you don't want to.
Speaker 1: I think that we should open up Valentine just to
Speaker 1: be like about all kinds of news because thing is Valentine.
Speaker 1: There is a celebration of romantic love, right, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: when do we celebrate the other kinds of love? Because
Speaker 1: I think most people interact with wrong romance, non romantic
Speaker 1: love more maybe then you do the other loves. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're right because you're you're you, You're a
Speaker 1: mom daughter for your whole life. Whereas you're in and
Speaker 1: our relationships. I agree with that completely. I just think
Speaker 1: that there are days for those other relationships, like Mother's Day,
Speaker 1: Father's Day, like Christmas, like you know, even even depending
Speaker 1: on your belief system, Easter, you know, like people people
Speaker 1: do all there's all about love. It's all about love.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying some people give their friends gifts
Speaker 1: on Easter. Some people don't. Who gets gifts on Easter.
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying I do. I've just heard of it.
Speaker 1: Grown adults are given grown adults gifts on Easter, I guess, so,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's something. It's something I've seen very
Speaker 1: very rich people do, so not this is not a
Speaker 1: regular thing. I'm just saying it happens. Should I start
Speaker 1: giving out time Easter baskets? Just give out peeps to
Speaker 1: your enemies from my enemies. There was a comic the
Speaker 1: other day that called me his enemy. He's called me
Speaker 1: his arch like. He was like, he's like he's Nemesis,
Speaker 1: like the Nemesis. And I was like, I don't think
Speaker 1: I don't care about you enough to be your nemesis.
Speaker 1: I don't even arch my eyebrows when I see you
Speaker 1: affect me in no way. I mean, honestly, I think
Speaker 1: he just wants to suck me. But it's like, um,
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you have my nemesis, and I was like, Nigga,
Speaker 1: I don't know your last name. You know it. There
Speaker 1: are some people, there are some people in this world
Speaker 1: that stay in a sort of adversarial lane to their
Speaker 1: intended loves. Yeah, I would never Yeah, they more, you
Speaker 1: know it. It starts on the playground. It's like it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think you have cooties. Now they don't finish the sentence.
Speaker 1: They're like, I want those cooties, you know. But I
Speaker 1: think even even into you know, adulthood, there are some people,
Speaker 1: but I hate and grown men do this because it's
Speaker 1: a form of nagging, this form of aggression, and what
Speaker 1: they don't like is to be met with their aggression
Speaker 1: with aggression. It's their aggressive You're supposed to go, nigga,
Speaker 1: you are not cute enough. If you're gonna come at
Speaker 1: somebody with the nagging thing, you have to know what
Speaker 1: lane you are in. You have to know what your
Speaker 1: reflection with your faces. You need to know how the
Speaker 1: account for your face was set up before you start
Speaker 1: coming up to people and doing this nagging ship because
Speaker 1: what they don't expect is for you to come back
Speaker 1: just it's oh, this is what we're doing, sir. I
Speaker 1: was born for this, For this, I'm gonna hurt your
Speaker 1: fucking feelings. This nigga said, I look the deadness face
Speaker 1: and said how I don't know your last name? When
Speaker 1: our friends went damn. I do feel like if the
Speaker 1: abe you're in and of itself is negative, it actually
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what their face looks like. Oh that's not true.
Speaker 1: That's not true. That's not true. What listen if they
Speaker 1: because the thing is, if they truly don't know what
Speaker 1: they're doing and they're just being truly fucking annoying and negative,
Speaker 1: then you're right because it'll make them look less attractive.
Speaker 1: If you would have just walked up to me and
Speaker 1: said hello, if you put it up this dude that
Speaker 1: walked up to you and said hello, paramore, I'd be like, Oho, this.
Speaker 1: They gotta give vocabiniers in your back pocket. Come on, buddy,
Speaker 1: this they can seemed bridged. Okay, This man enjoys masterpiece
Speaker 1: the alright, this man reads a book or three shook
Speaker 1: speare that Shakespeare come through. This man is trying to
Speaker 1: make the Beast with two backs? You hear me, I
Speaker 1: wanna learn about it. I cannot wait, so people google
Speaker 1: the Beast with two backs? Um shame speare reference reader.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, so that's why I was like, I
Speaker 1: think there needs to be more situations we can celebrate
Speaker 1: our hands a loop mm hmm, because a lot of
Speaker 1: people haven't had great Valentine's Days. And also it's okay,
Speaker 1: you got your Mother's Day, you got your Father's Day.
Speaker 1: There's other parts of a family. M hmmm, where's your
Speaker 1: cousin day? What's your grandparents Day? I guess grandparents get
Speaker 1: honored as parents technically get parents. Grandparents tend to also
Speaker 1: fall into the mothers and fathers because grandparents get to
Speaker 1: double dip because there is Grandparents Day. But we don't
Speaker 1: even have shipped for that. Yeah, like not an easy thing,
Speaker 1: but we do have a day where if you remember,
Speaker 1: you get them something. I didn't know. I don't wonder
Speaker 1: where they put Mother's Day and Father's Day when it is.
Speaker 1: I wanted to give it enough time apart, Well, why
Speaker 1: isn't it made? I guess June didn't have anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't want bankrupt people? Oh yeah, I guess, but like,
Speaker 1: how come Father's Day is in September? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean Father's Day already doesn't really get much to it.
Speaker 1: We don't get done. It really is like sad to
Speaker 1: watch it really does bumming. I'm not even a dad
Speaker 1: and that that bumby out for real, Like it's just
Speaker 1: And the funny thing about it is that, like when
Speaker 1: you um when you see people complain about it online,
Speaker 1: there's always somewhere this like, uh, well moms do all
Speaker 1: this other It's like, yeah, that's why everyone respects their
Speaker 1: day like this. This is literally just a conversation about
Speaker 1: how dad's just get old ties hub caps, like just
Speaker 1: whatever was laying around is what you give your dad
Speaker 1: is usually something fix. Definitely take your mother out to eat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one Mother's Day do you have? How many dads get
Speaker 1: sweaters that they already have the same pattern of Also,
Speaker 1: Father's Day is in June? Where the fund did you
Speaker 1: get this sweater? Where did you get this sweater? Which
Speaker 1: means it's an old sweater. We all know it's an
Speaker 1: old sweater because you couldn't give it to him at Christmas?
Speaker 1: You you bought two sweaters at Christmas. You gave him
Speaker 1: one and then you saved up till Father's Day. Because
Speaker 1: that's how little you care about Father's Day. This is
Speaker 1: the question. A lot of people don't even call. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, a right, honestly, that's his fault.
Speaker 1: If no one calls, he barely he wasn't a good father. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: because if you don't be a better father. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: because because if you forget to call your mom a
Speaker 1: Mother's Day, that's always all you. Right, Like, if you
Speaker 1: forgot to call your mom on Mother's Day, people will
Speaker 1: be like, clearly she's not a good mother. It'd be like,
Speaker 1: what's with you? Yeah, yeah, So if you don't call
Speaker 1: your mother and Mother's Day, you're an asshole. If you
Speaker 1: don't got your father and Father's Day, he wasn't a
Speaker 1: good dad. It's like, but what if this, if this
Speaker 1: is a same family, how is this possible. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it's impossible, but like, come on now, you can't
Speaker 1: tell me you you you grew up. This is the
Speaker 1: only time we blame anything on men. Is fathering, Like
Speaker 1: you didn't do it. It will be wild too, especially
Speaker 1: if you did a good job. You'll be there at
Speaker 1: everything and then they don't call and this like why,
Speaker 1: I guess you didn't grind hard enough. It's like she's
Speaker 1: I went to all the games. I don't think what
Speaker 1: else is I supposed to do? You don't forget your
Speaker 1: dad and if he comes to all the games? No,
Speaker 1: some people genuinely I I don't think, like, look, whatever
Speaker 1: is not my battle. I'm not saying poor bad, poor bad.
Speaker 1: I'm literally just saying the level to which people don't
Speaker 1: appreciate when they have a good dad. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Because let's let's be let's be for real.
Speaker 1: If there's a lot of trash dads out there, that
Speaker 1: means the good ones should actually have more shine. You know,
Speaker 1: I think we celebrate the good ones. What serena dad?
Speaker 1: That's that's it. That's that's really Tiger Dad. Like I
Speaker 1: don't know, Joe checks see, I'm trying to list only
Speaker 1: good dads. Right now, you're still like a um yeah.
Speaker 1: By Helen high Water, that clearly his tactics worked truly,
Speaker 1: which is the logic that white people use where it's like,
Speaker 1: how can you say black people are are having a
Speaker 1: hard time? Look at this one black person who yeah
Speaker 1: to step on to get where they are. Black people
Speaker 1: need to be doing great. Look at Beyonce. She's just
Speaker 1: had a whole concert and Dubai and I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: most people don't even know what the Dubai is. Also,
Speaker 1: I don't even know any other Beyonce's So that's the
Speaker 1: worst analogia. On the radio in Atlanta whose name was Beyonce?
Speaker 1: But I couldn't figure out if that was her radio
Speaker 1: name or her birth name. Yeah. See, it's it's tough.
Speaker 1: It's like, out of the one that I know exists,
Speaker 1: she's doing very well. Oh yeah, do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, that's why it's like you should never
Speaker 1: make that comparison. We at the show. I want to
Speaker 1: kick it to you, the listener. You the listener, you're
Speaker 1: the listener. How do you, hey, Comeric, how do you feel?
Speaker 1: Don't let her get closer to you than may don't
Speaker 1: don't don't let that work. Okay? How do you feel?
Speaker 1: What are your feelings? How do you feel? Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: is a hard time for a lot of people, including me.
Speaker 1: So I understand it could be a nice day or
Speaker 1: could be a sad day, you know, but you have
Speaker 1: to figure out for you, how do you feel. Is
Speaker 1: it that Valentine's Day should be about romantic love or
Speaker 1: should be about all of their loves like your friends
Speaker 1: and your puppet dog and your mama and your aunties,
Speaker 1: your cousins, you know, is it a whole thing? We're
Speaker 1: just like, hey, here's a person that I have a

Speaker 1: and stuff, and I think, okay, but also getting closer
Speaker 1: even you even did that hey hey hey, pulling them
Speaker 1: closer to you like I'm not right here. That's why.
Speaker 1: That's why I did right here. Use I can't get
Speaker 1: close while you get close. That no, no, no to
Speaker 1: for us both to get close. It's just abrasive. Listen,
Speaker 1: you didn't get close because you didn't have a heartfelt
Speaker 1: message for the people. What are you talking about? A
Speaker 1: heartfelt message for the people? All right, Look, if you
Speaker 1: love your boot if it's you and your boo all day. Okay,
