Speaker 4: Okay, When you see the fans and they run up
Speaker 4: to you and you're exchanging numbers with them, and I'm

Speaker 1: everybody's pulling up mistakes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, are there plant parenthoods in other states?
Speaker 2: States where they banned abortion and stuff?
Speaker 1: I still know about the planned parenthood in New York
Speaker 1: City and they know me the Soho, they know me
Speaker 1: as soho. They know me in the Bronx. Oh, I've
Speaker 1: never been to anything in Brooklyn, but they know me.
Speaker 2: The planned Parenthood in the Bronx. Talk about that. What
Speaker 2: is you gotta go through a metal detector.
Speaker 1: You have to go through a metal detector period that
Speaker 1: every plant parenthood there's you swipe your stuff through. But
Speaker 1: it's given hood club situation where you can you might

Speaker 1: Civil Rights Medal, the Mountain. But I am Malcolm X
Speaker 1: right right, they get your hand out my pocket.
Speaker 2: Medal detectives. Love.
Speaker 1: But you're asking me about the planned parenthood in the Bronx.
Speaker 4: I mean I had that was just the one questions. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 4: you thought I was trying to make a trip.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, hey, and I took that trip. I
Speaker 1: took that trip there, but I wasn't doing anything that
Speaker 1: y'all think I was. People don't understand plarent parenthood is
Speaker 1: for all services.
Speaker 3: Get checkups, if you need birth.
Speaker 2: Control, you get an oil chain.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can get a mammogram there. But
Speaker 1: think it's all things womanhood and it's not just for
Speaker 1: you know, a bobo bobo's.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: When I was going to the gun in colleges with
Speaker 4: no insurance, I was going to plant parenthood and my
Speaker 4: therapist was like, why do you go there?
Speaker 2: Oh no, And she was like, you shall go.
Speaker 4: You should go to a proper obgu I n And
Speaker 4: I was like, but they take what I got here, so.
Speaker 1: But we learned that that's not We can't go with
Speaker 1: what We can't go with what they give us.
Speaker 2: Because you know, they don't give a damn about us.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but did I say this on the
Speaker 1: last episode, how it went to the doctor and I
Speaker 1: finally had an annual checkup.
Speaker 2: I hadn't had an annual checkup on record never. It's
Speaker 2: like I'm looking.
Speaker 1: She was going through pieces of paper and looking, and
Speaker 1: she's like, it seems like you ain't never come to
Speaker 1: see the doctor.
Speaker 4: That she had the right spelling, because you know, people
Speaker 4: be spelling Sidney wrong.
Speaker 2: They you smell my name and I hate that.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't look like the type of person
Speaker 1: who have a Y at the end of my name.
Speaker 2: It's just not happening.
Speaker 4: It's not about what you look like. The name looked
Speaker 4: like it should be a why there No.
Speaker 1: I think people should change their point of view or perspective, like,
Speaker 1: you know, you look like a Marina.
Speaker 2: I don't believe you.
Speaker 1: I do. At first, when I first met you, I
Speaker 1: was like, Marie, that's odd. But now that I see you,

Speaker 2: So I can't I can't call.
Speaker 4: Them the people listening mistakes. But you can say my
Speaker 4: name in face Combo is odd.
Speaker 1: Your face doesn't give Marie because Marie is kind of
Speaker 1: like bland and you are very unique. No shade to
Speaker 1: the maries that are listening.
Speaker 2: Marie is a dry but it's very cookie cutter.
Speaker 1: You know. They're wearing plain white tea, flip flops, bootcut jeans.
Speaker 3: That's what Marie feels like.
Speaker 2: Honestly, That's what I was gonna word today. I had

Speaker 2: the bounce check check. Like, I don't trust the.
Speaker 1: Banks, and they putting all their money in Noila envelopes, yeah,
Speaker 1: putting them in a shoe boxes.
Speaker 2: And I like having too much loose cash at my house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been having cat like before when I was
Speaker 1: working at the stand a lot, I had tons of cash,
Speaker 1: which is so bad because you are literally doing anything
Speaker 1: and everything and you can't keep track. I knew I
Speaker 1: have four hundred dollars on me, but I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly where it is all just at a time.
Speaker 2: You'll have a random hundred on you and three ninety nine.
Speaker 1: And then I'll think that either somebody didn't pay me
Speaker 1: when something is missing, or I dropped it.
Speaker 3: That's how my mind goes.
Speaker 2: And I do be dropping stuff.
Speaker 1: I drop drop it like it's hot every time. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't recommend cash. I have some cash
Speaker 1: on me now, I need to go to the bank
Speaker 1: if you want me.
Speaker 2: To count it right now? Yeah, let me see.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you another thing that's that I'm messy at.
Speaker 1: I don't have a wallet, so is anybody in your
Speaker 1: by anybody who wants to send me wallet.
Speaker 2: This is how I keep my cash money. This money
Speaker 2: is in the pages of her passport.
Speaker 1: Okay, because you know where my passport is not gonna
Speaker 1: be lost. It's not gonna be in the Lost and found.
Speaker 1: It's always want to give me by my heart. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I stayed checking my first because I need to know
Speaker 1: if my passport is with me.
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is this is my cat.
Speaker 2: I like three hundred and two dollars.
Speaker 1: Let's see how much one two, three, four hundred hundred
Speaker 1: five dollars, four hundred and five dollars.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know I need to go to the pasage
Speaker 2: your birthday.
Speaker 1: I don't carry no, this is this is this is
Speaker 1: my comedy. When I'm doing when I'm doing what I
Speaker 1: do night, just.
Speaker 4: From from when I was a kid, I would always
Speaker 4: have like the most random, insignificant amount of cash on me.
Speaker 4: It was like seven dollars, Like I'll leave my house
Speaker 4: with nine dollars and sixty two cents.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, people should have some cash
Speaker 1: on them because when it's time to like split the
Speaker 1: check or tip, cash is always perfect because then it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: oh baby, I'm giving you exactly what I got.
Speaker 2: What if I give you the cash that I have
Speaker 2: and it's like I have twenty.
Speaker 3: Dollars, I feel like that's something you would do, Marie.
Speaker 2: I'll venmo you the rest of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Marie, you're not giving people to vemo right away.
Speaker 3: No, it's they're gonna have to pull up like your landlord.
Speaker 1: They have to call you on the landline so much
Speaker 1: if I did get you know the way adhd brain
Speaker 1: is set up.
Speaker 4: If I forget to venmo you and you forget to
Speaker 4: ask for it. Hey, it's on a house, really, Mari.
Speaker 1: So you you can't keep tabs of money that you
Speaker 1: know is out there that you might.
Speaker 2: Owe loose loose loose for yes.
Speaker 1: No, the way my shame works, I kind of I
Speaker 1: usually know when I owe somebody something. It's always in
Speaker 1: the back of my head.
Speaker 2: I do not. I never forget. They might forget, but
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because there it's not that many people that
Speaker 1: I owe money to. You know one friend that this
Speaker 1: was like ten years ago. He ain't never getting that back.
Speaker 1: But it was a man ten years ago.
Speaker 2: He's fine. Girl, How would you think you owed.
Speaker 1: His he's not getting your back, that's one he is,
Speaker 1: and he'll be fine. And if he needed that money back,
Speaker 1: he would hit me. He never hit me back for it. Girl,
Speaker 1: he forgot. Oh no, he might remember it because he's
Speaker 1: got he's got a good brain. And then I think
Speaker 1: there's like another friend in.
Speaker 2: The I R s.
Speaker 1: Those those are the I R s. Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I have to say, oh, that friend money to school.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, it's like I hate having
Speaker 1: that like thinking because I want people to pay me. Heye,
Speaker 1: this is mess these things that we work for, you know,
Speaker 1: we independent contractors. We'd be telling them, hey, this is
Speaker 1: what I that's what I'm old, that's what I'm dude,
Speaker 1: And you want me to hurry up and do my job.
Speaker 1: But you don't want to pay me. You don't want
Speaker 1: to pay me in a timely faunion. You want to
Speaker 1: you want to hit me two months later? Yeap, that
Speaker 1: money is gone in two months. I need the money
Speaker 1: exactly right. I need a net now.
Speaker 4: No net sixty ninety net one twenty. They said you
Speaker 4: might get it, you'll forget by the time you get
Speaker 4: the money. You forgot what you're getting paid for.
Speaker 2: This is true. Or no, you're in the hole. That's
Speaker 2: the thing. That's why you have to be paid immediately.
Speaker 1: I And then they make you feel bad that you
Speaker 1: hit them up for your mind.
Speaker 2: What are you broke? Yes, I say in an email,
Speaker 2: I'm a broke emailing you. Are you broke? They will account.
Speaker 2: They'll never say are you broke?
Speaker 1: They'll just allude to, oh, didn't know that this was
Speaker 1: in a rush?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I need a rush overnight now right now.
Speaker 2: I need my need and I need it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if I feel that way about people that
Speaker 1: I've worked for, honestly, I don't want to do that
Speaker 1: to the people that I know because I'm thinking the
Speaker 1: same thing.
Speaker 4: Well, I will say this week we went out for
Speaker 4: Alex's birthday. Oh yeah, and a bunch of us went
Speaker 4: to a diner after and Lisa paid, and yeah, I've
Speaker 4: venmote her as soon as I go.
Speaker 2: Home, look at you. You know what you're leader? What
Speaker 2: is that growth?
Speaker 4: That's why my check bounce because I've been more right away.
Speaker 4: The way it was the diner, it was like forty dollars,
Speaker 4: I'm the diner.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know what my mess is? My mess is
Speaker 1: showing up late and then leaving early.
Speaker 2: I have to go. Yeah, I have to get up.
Speaker 1: You have been leaving stuff early, so early, that's not
Speaker 1: even my thing.
Speaker 3: You know, I'd be the last man standing.
Speaker 2: I'll be like this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be like one of those animaniacs when they
Speaker 1: got the like the stuff over their head and you
Speaker 1: know now they twirling and looking delusional. That's me at
Speaker 1: the end of the night. Lights on. Hey, y'all, and
Speaker 1: I'm sober, but I'm realizing I ain't got an in me.
Speaker 1: The thing is that in the I feel like in
Speaker 1: the winter, when people are drinking, it feels like it's
Speaker 1: suffocating me. And I can't partake in any of the
Speaker 1: drinks or any of the thing.
Speaker 2: It's like soup. Yeah, they don't need me. I gotta go.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's wild because when I think about drinking, I think
Speaker 4: the summer, it's nice out, we're drinking Margarita's, we're drinking
Speaker 4: we outside, we are outside. Yeah, we're drinking a lot.
Speaker 4: But holiday season it's a lot of drinking that goes
Speaker 4: on so much between Thanksgiving and Christmas too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's every day.
Speaker 1: Yes, there is no reason why you should be sober
Speaker 1: during November and December, because there's so much going on.
Speaker 1: There's so much like things that you think you should
Speaker 1: be finishing up, or things that you're anticipating for the
Speaker 1: new year, people that you probably don't even want to see,
Speaker 1: but you blood related.
Speaker 3: It's like a lot of things tied to the end
Speaker 3: of the year.
Speaker 1: So that's why people going all out, going, all out drinking,
Speaker 1: not not stopping, and they're staying out until the sun
Speaker 1: goes up. And I'm like, you know what, I've been
Speaker 1: looking underneath my eyes. I'm like, girl, you look tired.
Speaker 1: Should get impressed?
Speaker 2: Should we get some fresh faces for the new year.
Speaker 1: No, It's just it's just like knowing when to go home.
Speaker 1: But then my other messes. So our friend Alex was
Speaker 1: posting all these pictures from his birthday and I wasn't
Speaker 1: in none, and I was like, I was there, Why
Speaker 1: why didn't I get any photos? And so that's what
Speaker 1: happens when you leave, you leave early, You missed the photo,
Speaker 1: you missed the photo ops, and then it feels like, well, well, fuck,
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I know the picture was gonna look
Speaker 1: crazy of me anyway, but it's just like I just
Speaker 1: I like that little tag that I was that was there.
Speaker 2: Well, you want to supports you in post? We could
Speaker 2: throw you in.
Speaker 1: We'd love somebody just photoshop me in some of the
Speaker 1: events that I'm not there because I do have fomo.
Speaker 1: That's another messy thing, is that you have photo fomo
Speaker 1: though no, I have fomo.
Speaker 2: In general. I want to be there.
Speaker 1: My heart is where my friends are, and so when
Speaker 1: I'm not there, I'm like.
Speaker 3: Well, what are they doing without me?
Speaker 2: They need me? The night is not young and I'm
Speaker 2: not around.
Speaker 3: What I've been doing, That's what I've been doing.
Speaker 1: And then I'll go home and then I'll start scrolling
Speaker 1: the stories that said they look like.
Speaker 2: They having a blast and I don't like that. I
Speaker 2: don't like that without me. Yeah, well you should be
Speaker 2: texting me, girl, wish you were here time? Next time?
Speaker 2: What do you? Why are you? Why'd you leave?
Speaker 1: When I say I'm gone, people are like, okay, no.
Speaker 1: The last two times to tell me you beg me
Speaker 1: to stay.
Speaker 4: The last two times you told me you were leaving,
Speaker 4: I was like already and you were like, yeah, girl,
Speaker 4: I I gotta go. But also you will come up
Speaker 4: when the car is already outside.
Speaker 2: Oh you you been like my uber here.
Speaker 1: I think it's messy to be that person, like we're

Speaker 2: Okay, let me get to it. Okay, so she gets there.
Speaker 1: The tickets to the commerce show are twenty five dollars each.
Speaker 1: So he buys both tickets, which he should. He invited that.

Speaker 1: they keep kying whatever they go in and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's get let's get a drink and she's like I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not really that servacy or whatever. She's like,
Speaker 1: can you give me some water? And so he literally stops.
Speaker 1: He's like, why don't you get us something to drink?
Speaker 1: And she's like, yeah, I could do that, but you
Speaker 1: said let's get something drinks, so I assumed you would
Speaker 1: be getting a drinks. He's like, uh, well, why why
Speaker 1: don't we both go get the water? And she's like
Speaker 1: this is this is this is odd and he's like,
Speaker 1: let me ask you something. Are you now that is
Speaker 1: another reflect Let me ask you something.
Speaker 2: No, we need to talk. We need to talk. Let
Speaker 2: me ask you something.
Speaker 1: It's all It's always going to be something that It's like,
Speaker 1: you know the answer to this, sir. He asked her,
Speaker 1: So are you the type of type of woman to
Speaker 1: serve your man? Excuse me, this is not burger king.
Speaker 1: I'm not serving nobody.
Speaker 2: When did this turn into church? He Christians very much. No,
Speaker 2: He's like, are you the type of woman to take
Speaker 2: care of your man? Sir?
Speaker 1: We are in front of the tacos. They will serve you.
Speaker 1: You're not even my man a day, first first day.
Speaker 1: And mind you, this is my first impression of you.
Speaker 1: That's their thing on TikTok. They're like, mind you, this
Speaker 1: is my first impression of you, meaning like I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything, and this is what Now I'm gonna leave
Speaker 1: with this, right.
Speaker 2: So he's kind of like going back and.
Speaker 1: Forth with her, and she said, you know what, have
Speaker 1: a good night, and she left.
Speaker 2: She left. She didn't even get to.
Speaker 1: See the comedy show, because I was like, maybe she
Speaker 1: was at one of our shows.
Speaker 4: Missed you missed you missed out. Mad made a mistake.
Speaker 4: I would have stayed for.
Speaker 1: The comedy and then I would have left immediately, or
Speaker 1: I would have stayed for the comedy.
Speaker 2: I'm like, can we sit different?
Speaker 4: But she must have already not been feeling him, Like
Speaker 4: for you to be like that ready to go, it
Speaker 4: must be like you leaving a bad taste in my mouth,
Speaker 4: or maybe the tacos did, But like, I'm not even
Speaker 4: gonna go back and forth with you.
Speaker 2: How loud was he talking? He was yelling? No, I
Speaker 2: don't think he was yelling.
Speaker 1: But I think we're at the point in our lives.
Speaker 1: I don't know how old this girl is, but we've
Speaker 1: gone on enough dates where it's like some of us
Speaker 1: are doing it for the plot and other people's like
Speaker 1: the plot is done. I'm exhausted. Either we're gonna have
Speaker 1: good vibes or not. I did not come out of
Speaker 1: my place where it's warm for you to ask me,
Speaker 1: so are you gonna serve your man? Excuse me, I
Speaker 1: don't speak whatever language you talking about, Sir.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, what you mean by that? Like cater
Speaker 4: to you, destiny shaw?
Speaker 3: I mean that's what she was asking.
Speaker 1: But also it's like you're taking me to a comedy
Speaker 1: show and you're getting tacos, so you're acting like this
Speaker 1: is a Michellin star like Caviars pulled out we at
Speaker 1: the opera.
Speaker 2: What kind of tacos it was?
Speaker 4: It was Gordon Ramsey was in there putting caviar eggs
Speaker 4: on caviar eggs, fish eggs on the stuff.
Speaker 3: No, it felt like it was one step above Taco bell.
Speaker 2: It was actually a.
Speaker 3: Taco truck, mind you. It was the tacos were on wheels.
Speaker 2: Were they in La because the taco trucks hit in La?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: But she was just like, I'm not putting up with this,
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 1: Think I don't know self care everyone it is self care,
Speaker 1: but we're trying to figure out what is going on
Speaker 1: with both people. Because if someone asked me for me,
Speaker 1: I get the whole, like be a man, take care
Speaker 1: of it, and you know, bring back men.
Speaker 2: Da da da da da.
Speaker 1: But it's also like somebody got the tickets, they got
Speaker 1: some tacos. I would I would probably offer, oh you
Speaker 1: want some drink, I'll get you your drink. And so
Speaker 1: I think his thing was as a human being, you
Speaker 1: see me doing on stuff you don't wanna. You don't
Speaker 1: want to get me a you don't want to get
Speaker 1: me no water, you don't wanna, Well, you don't want
Speaker 1: to contribute.
Speaker 4: I hear what you're saying, yes, but she's not saying
Speaker 4: I'm hungry. He's like, ask her something to eat, and
Speaker 4: she like, I guess I have a taco. A taco
Speaker 4: is five dollars. Yeah if that Uh. He's like, let's
Speaker 4: get a drink. She's like, I don't really want to drink.
Speaker 4: Maybe some water.
Speaker 2: Now you mad?
Speaker 4: Now you're mad because I asked for a water. She
Speaker 4: didn't say, oh, I'll take a long online ice tea.
Speaker 4: She didn't say I'll take a whiskey sour. She just said, oh,
Speaker 4: can you give me a water? And he was like,
Speaker 4: why don't you get me a drink?
Speaker 2: Like it's him.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, okay, I'm not I'm not team you know.
Speaker 2: Him, sir?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna serve your God and me at the
Speaker 1: same time? Now, I'm not team him, but I'm also
Speaker 1: like a person who is a giver, and you do
Speaker 1: people when it's going to be like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be one sided. You could tell, you could tell,
Speaker 1: But I'm also I'm also not. I'm also not a
Speaker 1: straight man, so I cannot relate.
Speaker 2: But I do.
Speaker 1: I do know with people you can feel like it's
Speaker 1: not reciprocal. You can feel that energy when they're like.
Speaker 2: Oh I just I can't. I'm here for the wings.
Speaker 1: That's the gift, you know. And so he probably communicated
Speaker 1: that poorly. But I do think that if someone asks
Speaker 1: you to come out right, maybe they are paying for
Speaker 1: most of the stuff. But I think it is a
Speaker 1: cute gesture to be like, oh, let me get you
Speaker 1: something you want. You want a napkin, babe, I'll get you.
Speaker 1: You want me to hold the door for your mo
Speaker 1: like you don't. Chivalry can go both ways.
Speaker 4: Let me sit with my back to the door so
Speaker 4: you can face the door, just in case trouble is coming,
Speaker 4: and I could God first for you.
Speaker 1: Hey, can let me stand on the side of the
Speaker 1: road so you know the car. If the car comes it,
Speaker 1: don't hit it me and me first. When you come
Speaker 1: home late, tap me on my shoulder, roll over. No
Speaker 1: no no.
Speaker 4: But I agree, I agree with you, but also things
Speaker 4: need to be communicated better.
Speaker 2: But maybe he was having.
Speaker 4: A bad day and he had eight dollars left in
Speaker 4: his account. Maybe his check bounce.
Speaker 1: Oh girl, you're always gonna bring it back for that
Speaker 1: bouncing checks, freezy bounce on that check al.
Speaker 2: What did you see this week? So Nick Cannon, father
Speaker 2: of twelve, just ensured his balls for ten million dollars.
Speaker 2: You know you know what.
Speaker 3: I love that for him because he's knowing his worth.
Speaker 1: He's like, do you know how many shots I take
Speaker 1: and they actually go?
Speaker 2: You missed one hundred percent of the shots you don't take? Yeah.
Speaker 1: So he's like, hey, I know that I have stuff
Speaker 1: that works.
Speaker 2: It's a hundred percent.
Speaker 1: It's one hundred The sperm when it hits the egg,
Speaker 1: it's like, let's go.
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, that's how Nick can He's like.
Speaker 1: I have to ensure this because it's one hundred percent
Speaker 1: going through raid. And I can't say all all the
Speaker 1: guys who have sperm can be as successful. I'm just saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: Nick Cannon does not play for the Mets. I'll say
Speaker 1: that as I wear a Mets hat. What what's the
Speaker 1: Mets comparison? The Mets they play base you know the
Speaker 1: baseball they bad or they good? What are you trying
Speaker 1: to think they win that much.
Speaker 2: Good? That he said?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Somebody somebody fact checked that for
Speaker 1: us we need the Mets good? Are the Mets good?
Speaker 1: I have a couple of friends who ride or die
Speaker 1: for the Mets. And that's how I know that the
Speaker 1: Mets can't be that good, because why why are you
Speaker 1: holding on so strong? You know, some teams just win
Speaker 1: and people don't have to say much. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I know, I got the winning team.
Speaker 4: Can I tell you why I don't like the Mets
Speaker 4: over the Yankees. That's somebody who doesn't care about baseball
Speaker 4: at all. I don't like the font of the n
Speaker 4: Y It's it's different. Yeah, I don't like then I
Speaker 4: like the Yankees font better. Well, this is given like italics.
Speaker 4: It's calligraphy. Maybe not calligraphy, but it's definitely given, like.
Speaker 2: Sheriff, sheriff. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah I do remember, yes, yes, like sheriff whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't use that font, but yeah, time's new Roman.
Speaker 1: But I think that the problem with the Mets is
Speaker 1: is that when you wear this, people assume that you
Speaker 1: actually like the team. Yankees is universal. You could just
Speaker 1: like it for the stole. Mets is like, oh that
Speaker 1: was a choice, honey, they'd Mets and I'll be like mass, yes, mass,
Speaker 1: oh my god, should we get mess hats?
Speaker 2: Yes? But it should kind of be like the Mets.
Speaker 1: Font No, no, I don't like like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So wait.
Speaker 3: So you're so you think it's a mess that Nick
Speaker 3: ensured his because.
Speaker 4: Like Mariah Carey in her voice, I think Rihanna insured
Speaker 4: her legs, j Lo's insured her ass Like since insurance
Speaker 4: has existed, people have been insuring these things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to ensore your balls. So what does that mean?
Speaker 4: If someone kicks him in the nuts, he gets ten
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. What does it mean to ensure your body parts?
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't really have insurance. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what I don't even know what insured means. Shout out,
Speaker 1: shout out to Luigi, And you can't even spell insurance.
Speaker 2: Can I say this?
Speaker 1: The crazy thing about the Luigi situation for me is
Speaker 1: that he got caught in the McDonald's.
Speaker 3: I have a conspiracy theory. I don't think any of
Speaker 3: this is real.
Speaker 1: I think that he's the scapegoat for the person who
Speaker 1: really I think they needed to boost something to let
Speaker 1: people know, hey, you can't just be killing CEOs what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't really look like the guy who we saw
Speaker 1: on camera. This guy is just too sexy, too young.
Speaker 1: The guy in the in the video looked older, so
Speaker 1: and he didn't look as tall.
Speaker 4: So what you're saying is you think there's a conspiracy
Speaker 4: and he's not the guy. What I got from the
Speaker 4: situation is hot people need to do more crimes, and
Speaker 4: they do.
Speaker 2: And that's the problem is like you think that.
Speaker 1: You don't think that somebody who has all their teeth
Speaker 1: and amazing bone structure isn't pulling a fast one, isn't
Speaker 1: scamming people.
Speaker 4: They are scam absolutely, but I'm saying just crime in general,
Speaker 4: not necessarily murder, but definitely hot people need to do
Speaker 4: more crimes.
Speaker 1: I want to use my hotness for good oh and
Speaker 1: to be And the thing is so funny thing about
Speaker 1: Luigia's that all these women are like all.
Speaker 2: The good men are assassins.
Speaker 1: I was on the train and God was like, damn
Speaker 1: these girls is on this God Dick like what I
Speaker 1: need to do kill a Ceowen was like, well, yes,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, but if you don't say it for something,
Speaker 1: you'll fall for anything, thank you.
Speaker 4: I just think it's weird and I don't understand how
Speaker 4: that works, Like you have all these kids, you're gonna
Speaker 4: have more. If something happens to your balls that are
Speaker 4: now insured, will the insurance companies pay you? Like Nick
Speaker 4: Canned is worth like half a million, half a billion dollars?
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, he's worth a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean, And I think that the important thing that
Speaker 1: people who are like regular and don't have as much
Speaker 1: access or money, they don't know they're worth. They don't
Speaker 1: know what you can actually do to instill like a
Speaker 1: better future for yourself.
Speaker 2: He knows he has people in his ears.
Speaker 1: So somebody might have told him, hey, man, you see
Speaker 1: all these kids you have, that's a that's a blessing.
Speaker 4: Not all these Some of these men got blanks. They
Speaker 4: got blanks in their gun. You don't, you know, for
Speaker 4: some people, blanks is a blessing. Ooh, and you know what,
Speaker 4: I wish I had more blanks.
Speaker 2: Listen now it is they don't work. Baby. I I
Speaker 2: got no egg now, So there it is.
Speaker 1: No for Tata's happening over shit shut it's an empty
Speaker 1: egg crate, empty nesters. Yes, oh did you see the
Speaker 1: So they're doing all these like lookalike contests.
Speaker 4: They did one for Luigi and they did yeah, they
Speaker 4: did a not when we knew it was Luigi, but
Speaker 4: when it was the guy with the hood and the backpack.
Speaker 2: They had one in the park.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were being really funny. That was comical.
Speaker 1: But this one they had an actual one for Drake
Speaker 1: in Toronto, and the videos were killing me because there
Speaker 1: were so many guys that Are'm like, I guess you
Speaker 1: look like him, but it's more like the essence. But
Speaker 1: there's one dude that was supposed to be like the
Speaker 1: bigger Drake, like you know, thick Drake, thick Drake, and
Speaker 1: they say that he's the one that impersonates him all
Speaker 1: the time. They were like he he was robbed, he
Speaker 1: should have won, but they ended up giving a girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a girl, a girl one. Yeah. No, it's a
Speaker 2: great lookalike. They did a great job. They're calling all
Speaker 2: the skinny guys ozembic Drake. Yes, yes.
Speaker 1: I sometimes I think it's cute when people were like,
Speaker 1: you look like this celebrity, but it hurts when you're not.
Speaker 2: You're like, I don't want to look.
Speaker 3: Like that celebrity. I just want to be a celebrity.
Speaker 2: They all look like him except for the girl.
Speaker 3: And she won, and that's and honestly, and that's feminism.
Speaker 2: No, she should not have won. And she was dancing.
Speaker 2: She was dancing, she was giving it. I was like,
Speaker 2: I love how committed she was to it. She was like,
Speaker 2: this is a joke.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking this serious. She had the beard and everything.
Speaker 1: I would like to see.
Speaker 3: What's what's your predictions for the next look.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they also had a honist there the people.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that I feel bad about TikTok
Speaker 1: being gone. There's so many funny people out there.
Speaker 4: People are really they can still shoot all these same
Speaker 4: videos and just slide them through Instagram.
Speaker 2: You don't hit the same that.
Speaker 3: The algorithm on Instagram is not the same as TikTok.
Speaker 2: Instagram.
Speaker 1: So they say, word on street is they want you
Speaker 1: to money behind promotion. What Yes, they want you to
Speaker 1: boost more things they want. Instagram is out a rabbit
Speaker 1: ass buyer.
Speaker 4: The people who need to see the content will see it,
Speaker 4: and those who don't will miss out. Mark Zuckerberg is
Speaker 4: getting a.
Speaker 2: Zum from me. I mean, no one's any a diametomy
Speaker 2: checks Dooby bouncing tapping her foot girl.
Speaker 4: First of all, guns cost money, and my landlord is
Speaker 4: not spending money on guns. So who do I think
Speaker 4: is the next look alike? Well, because we got Timothy,
Speaker 4: Shala May, we got the we got the Zendaya. Oh
Speaker 4: I didn't see that looking like contest?
Speaker 2: What did that? What did they look like Biracials? She's Byris?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were given by racials, And a lot of
Speaker 1: the comments were just like, I see where y'all were
Speaker 1: going with that. But also if I was Zendia, I
Speaker 1: would be mad because none of these girls is giving her.
Speaker 1: They did Tyler, they did Tyler, they did Rachel sitting it,
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, like, who's the next person they should do.
Speaker 2: No, it's gonna be Trump on inauguration Day in DC.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be big orange, blobby, lace front white man. Girl.
Speaker 2: Are you done? They gonna do that.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that. That doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: you want to hear it. And I think you asked
Speaker 1: what I think is the next one.

Speaker 4: man in ties that are too long and suits that
Speaker 4: are too baggy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3: Honestly, if my eyes don't work that day, I won't
Speaker 3: be mad.
Speaker 2: I won't be mad.

Speaker 1: like someone acknowledged me.
Speaker 3: He I'm sure he was, Like I felt so seen.
Speaker 2: I'm screaming, baby boy. AnyWho.
Speaker 1: I I ended up like sitting down for a second
Speaker 1: because I was definitely very much so blackout, and I
Speaker 1: was like I lost. I had a bag of like

Speaker 1: out with too many white people because I was like.

Speaker 1: You know? Ooh that's good because that kind of ties
Speaker 1: into something that God, I wouldn't say it kind of happened.

Speaker 1: that we do. They think it's like a pull up, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we having fun. This is not really a job.
Speaker 2: It is, but it is.
Speaker 1: We are at work and people are constantly watching us.
Speaker 1: And even if you think that people are not judging
Speaker 1: or not, look they are. And so anybody we have
Speaker 1: around it your.
Speaker 3: Reflection of us.
Speaker 1: And so you can't go to people's job being lose
Speaker 1: too overfamiliar because you make the vibes a little weird.
Speaker 1: I had a friend come out with us at SNL
Speaker 1: and we were at an after party. He pulls out
Speaker 1: a brand new disposable camera still in the wrapper, oh,
Speaker 1: and unwraps it and starts taking photos with at the table.

Speaker 2: Like it's just not big doofy disposable camera flash? Is
Speaker 2: that the title? I like it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Maybe, And maybe it's me because I am in
Speaker 1: burying my head about being perceived and like people seeing us.
Speaker 2: But I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I don't like being embarrassed. I don't embarrass myself, but
Speaker 1: I don't want somebody else embarrassing me. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But you know what.
Speaker 4: I was out the other day and I was with
Speaker 4: a friend of mine and we went to get ramen
Speaker 4: and we you know, we had both taken edibles, we
Speaker 4: had smoked a little, so we were feeling good, and
Speaker 4: he was really chatty and at one point he said
Speaker 4: he said something like he was talking and I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: he's being kind of loud and this is kind.
Speaker 2: Of like silly, low key annoying. Wait do I know
Speaker 2: this person?
Speaker 4: I don't know, but he said some stuff and people
Speaker 4: could overhear him, and I was like, that's embarrassing. But
Speaker 4: the people that overheard were in on it, like they
Speaker 4: were like, oh yo, bro blah blah blah blah, like
Speaker 4: they were completely feel like they were there for the vibes.
Speaker 2: They felt good. He had he had a friend. Yeh,
Speaker 2: he made friends. And I was like, oh, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: he was me.
Speaker 3: We do be in our heads.
Speaker 1: But I mean sometimes remember when your brother came to
Speaker 1: my job and he started bring dancing step up to
Speaker 1: dance moves in the bar was crowded.
Speaker 2: My brother he was. It was shoulder to shoulder.

Speaker 4: the moment where where my friend was talking and I
Speaker 4: was like oh, everybody was like aha, and I was like,
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 2: It was just me, okay.
Speaker 3: And that's the thing I think that gets really like
Speaker 3: nothing is black or white, but it's.
Speaker 1: Well, it is black and white because the white people
Speaker 1: don't get embarrassed with they people do crazy stuff because white.
Speaker 2: People are not a monolith.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're free.
Speaker 4: They see a crazy white person doing whatever, and they
Speaker 4: just like, Tom's crazy. But a black person. If I'm
Speaker 4: out and a black person is acting wild, I'm like,
Speaker 4: they think we came together.
Speaker 2: They think that's my ride.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I'm on the train and the one guy that's
Speaker 1: like being weird is like talking to me, I'm like, sir,
Speaker 1: I don't we don't know each other.
Speaker 3: Stop you're so familiar you be.
Speaker 1: Talking to them though, I because also I don't like
Speaker 1: when we ignore people who are obviously kind of going
Speaker 1: through something, like you could be that one person that
Speaker 1: changed their day, and I don't want to treat them like.
Speaker 2: Well, this is dangerous. You see, this is crazy. Why
Speaker 2: I understand.
Speaker 4: I understand acknowledging somebody that's there, but I also I'm
Speaker 4: not trying to put myself in harm's way.
Speaker 2: I don't know what this person is going through.
Speaker 4: I don't know how they feel about young black beaches
Speaker 4: on the subway.
Speaker 2: I don't need you snapping on me.
Speaker 1: I'm moving seats, I'm moving cars, that's valid. I'm not
Speaker 1: you sitting there you gonna have a pow wow.
Speaker 2: Not a pow wow, but you know, I'll chat it
Speaker 2: up a bit.
Speaker 1: You know. Remember, did I tell you a story about
Speaker 1: the guy named Macavelly, Yes, Maca I met on the train,
Speaker 1: the rapper.
Speaker 3: Yes, the rapper he was, and I honestly think he
Speaker 3: was pretty good.
Speaker 1: Girl.
Speaker 2: He wasn't. He wasn't terrible. I would I didn't. I
Speaker 2: at first, I was like, now I have I have
Speaker 2: some money. I have some money in my first and we.
Speaker 1: Know you have you have four hundred and fifty two
Speaker 1: dollars in your purse. I had a couple of dollars.
Speaker 1: I had a couple of dollars with maca Velly. And
Speaker 1: he's chatting, and I'm like, all right, man. Like he
Speaker 1: after I give him the money, he would not move.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I girl, because he saw you pull
Speaker 1: out your passport and unfold several hundred dollars and you
Speaker 1: gave him what did you give him?
Speaker 2: Like a ten or a twenty?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Girl, I give him five dollars? And you know he's talking.
Speaker 2: I said fine. Then he's like, can you uh, can
Speaker 2: you follow me? Sir? I give you five dollars. That
Speaker 2: is your follow Okay, is that five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, But it made me think it's like, I am
Speaker 1: so embarrassed by peddling my jokes or like things that
Speaker 1: I'm doing, and it's hard for me to promote. This
Speaker 1: man got five dollars for me and he said, I
Speaker 1: need you to follow me. So, you know what, maybe
Speaker 1: I need to move in the world more like Macavelly.
Speaker 2: Be more like Machavelly. Don't you agree. I think we
Speaker 2: need to get out of our own heads.
Speaker 1: That is mess the people thinking that, ooh, like I
Speaker 1: love the brain, but then I'm also like, throw it away,
Speaker 1: throw it in the trash, because it's you.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, you realize it's like
Speaker 3: it's never that serious.
Speaker 1: It never was, it will never be that serious, and
Speaker 1: it's just like have fun, throw things at the wall.
Speaker 3: If it doesn't work out, who cares.
Speaker 4: But when you think about the people who seem to
Speaker 4: be the happiest people that you know, just like think
Speaker 4: about the person that you feel like, oh, that person
Speaker 4: seems to be pretty happy.
Speaker 2: You have somebody in your head.
Speaker 4: It's usually somebody who like they marshal to be to
Speaker 4: their own drum. They like wear what they want. It's
Speaker 4: usually something real weird or misfrizzly or whatever, but they
Speaker 4: wear it. They maybe they have like a scooter or
Speaker 4: a Vespa or something stupid. They like drive a FI
Speaker 4: out or something.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Like they don't drive the cool thing or wear the
Speaker 4: cool stuff or say the right.
Speaker 1: They just do.
Speaker 2: They just be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to be important, yes, you just. I
Speaker 1: think we gotta get out of our own heads. And
Speaker 1: just like for me, if something makes me happy, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it. If something doesn't make me I mean,
Speaker 1: I've been saying this.
Speaker 4: For years now, but like you know, when you're old
Speaker 4: and gray, Yeah, right, in one hundred years and you.
Speaker 2: Sitting in your house thinking about your life, you're gonna
Speaker 2: be like your own house, which I can't get an

Speaker 2: I'm a hornet? Wait? Should we do some messages? Yea,
Speaker 2: yea yeah, let's do it. Let's do before we get
Speaker 2: out of here. Oh, we learned so much today.
Speaker 1: We did.
Speaker 2: We got through some things.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you're listening to this, you know this
Speaker 1: is it's a new year, it's twenty twenty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you should just do whatever it is that you want
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: Do it today. Unblock your ex, waste his time, tell
Speaker 2: him why leave him? Is that what it's giving? Listen,
Speaker 2: if I'm being honest with you about what I'm doing,
Speaker 2: there's no surprises. I'm in it out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But that's also that's also a scary thing, is like,
Speaker 1: I think it's weird when you tell somebody how you
Speaker 1: feel and what you do and they still go through
Speaker 1: with whatever.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's okay I want to.
Speaker 1: Do Yeah, but that's confirmation that you're awesome and the
Speaker 1: way that the delusion that you live can you spread that?
Speaker 2: Spread that honey on me?
Speaker 1: Every week every Tuesday, I come here and a Lulu
Speaker 1: the gospel of you know, be all that you can be,
Speaker 1: or be try you can't be.
Speaker 2: That might be the title. Friend. I'm not mad at that,
Speaker 2: thank you so much. But I do this all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know why I'm allowed to be delusional. I'm
Speaker 2: not in my head. Are you ready?
Speaker 3: Are you ready for the messages?
Speaker 2: Thank you guys.
Speaker 3: You guys are doing so well with the messages. We're
Speaker 3: really proud of you.
Speaker 1: You're working very hard, you're spilling, you're opening, you're being transparent,
Speaker 1: and uh.
Speaker 2: You're making them long but short, long but short.
Speaker 1: We're getting to the point you're setting the scene and
Speaker 1: we're getting in and we're getting out, and we appreciate that.
Speaker 1: So this one is a family mess to share. Hi,
Speaker 1: Sidney Marie. First of all, I just want to say
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of mess and oh thank you.
Speaker 1: I've been binging your episodes and thought who better to
Speaker 1: turn to with my family mess than you two.
Speaker 2: Our hearts so open for you. Here's the situation for context.
Speaker 2: We are African.
Speaker 1: I have an older brother who's irresponsible, ats and delusional
Speaker 1: at worst. He has a family of seven and has
Speaker 1: never held down a steady job.
Speaker 2: WHOA way is your brother? Whoa But also it checks.
Speaker 1: Out yes, his wife is the breadwinner and works tirelessly
Speaker 1: to provide while he bounces from one poorly planned entrepreneurial
Speaker 1: venture to the next.
Speaker 2: Damn, you ain't here for your brothers.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I've been grinding since college, working hard, and that's
Speaker 1: usually how it is.
Speaker 2: For the ladies, building my career and securing my future.
Speaker 1: I'm in the C suite now and I've made wise
Speaker 1: decisions with money, and now my family reaps the benefits travel,
Speaker 1: best schools for my kids, and solid investments. I've done
Speaker 1: the work and I'm proud of where I am. Okay, Okay, period, dude, listen,
Speaker 1: boost yourself up.
Speaker 2: You deserve Okay. Here's where the mess comes in.
Speaker 1: A few years ago, a family friend offered our family,
Speaker 1: not just me, an amazing deal on a house from
Speaker 1: a recently deceased relative.
Speaker 2: We already know how this is about to go.
Speaker 1: I was the only one in the family with the
Speaker 1: right debt to income ratio, credit and financial standing, so
Speaker 1: everyone convinced me to buy it. Real estate is always
Speaker 1: a good investment, right girl. Well, the investment turned into
Speaker 1: my brother and his family moving in because of course
Speaker 1: they had nowhere else to go.
Speaker 2: Damn Gina. But I thought the wife was a breadwinner.
Speaker 2: She must not be winning enough breathin, No, she's winning
Speaker 2: the bread.
Speaker 1: But you know, the brother probably convinced, like, why do
Speaker 1: we need to get another house?
Speaker 2: We already got one in a family.
Speaker 1: Okay, So he swore he'd get a stable job and
Speaker 1: pay rent. But you already know how that turned out.
Speaker 1: His wife is breaking her back trying to cover their expenses,
Speaker 1: and now it's become too much for them to even
Speaker 1: pay me the rent consistently. Some months I don't even
Speaker 1: get anything. Other months I get rent in pieces over
Speaker 1: the course of months. Ooh, it's given. Klarma, Honey, you
Speaker 1: get mad enough. I told them it's time to sell
Speaker 1: the house so I can get out of this mess
Speaker 1: and cut my ties.
Speaker 2: Now the whole family's mad at me.
Speaker 1: They're acting like I'm the villain here, and I'm tired
Speaker 1: of enabling his irresponsibility. Am I the asshole for wanting
Speaker 1: to sell? Or is my brother the real problem here?
Speaker 1: Would love your thoughts, love y'all. Ooh, girl, you are
Speaker 1: beautiful with this.
Speaker 2: Thank you. This is guys, if you ever want to
Speaker 2: know how to write us something this It had details,
Speaker 2: it had twists. She was dragging. She boosted herself. Thank you, Marie.
Speaker 2: What's your thoughts.
Speaker 4: I think in a lot of families that have a
Speaker 4: girl and a boy, the sons usually get babied, so
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised that they're.
Speaker 2: Like, you should support your brother. I don't want to.
Speaker 4: Support him and his seven kids or I mean five
Speaker 4: kids and his wife. But yeah, I think that it's
Speaker 4: kind of easy to jump into a situation and be like,
Speaker 4: this is family.
Speaker 2: You'll get the money when I got it. No, I
Speaker 2: want it now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I hate saying this on the record, but I
Speaker 1: don't f for my family like that. You can you,
Speaker 1: even though we blood and stuff. Like, I pick the
Speaker 1: people on one in my life, which sometimes sucks because
Speaker 1: now I feel like I'm just leaning on this chosen
Speaker 1: family of mine. But no, you don't get to just
Speaker 1: be related to me and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: have all these demands or tell me what I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 3: It's not happening. I work too hard.
Speaker 4: I spent money to buy this house, and I don't
Speaker 4: know nothing about home ownership.
