0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Can't Fully Reckless, the production of Ieheart Radio

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and the Black Effects. Are we on a air? Yeah,

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>we're on an air. Guess what's y'all share? Girl? Just

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>hilarious and welcome back to yet another carefully reckless episode?

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>What and Why I will be fixing your mess? Now?

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>We don't have any voice memos today. People starting to

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>get caught up because the people that they be hitting

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>us about be listening to y'all. So people have been

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>getting snatched up left and right, Like I heard you

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>telling just our business thinking that she could fix our

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>shit whole time. You know what I'm saying. I had

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>some people writing me right and say, oh my such

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and such had wrote you or sent you a voice memo,

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't tell you the whole story. And so

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>now I gotta tell you, but that person never sent it.

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>That was only one person that did that. Then I

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>had another person that, uh said that their husband had

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>wrote me. It wasn't even a voice memo. They just

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>knew their story and how their significant other type. Damn

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Ain't that some private eye detective shit. I know that's right,

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I know that's right. So I think that's why we

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't been getting a lot of voice memos. However, we're

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna jump into this reading right here. Jess, please fix

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>my mess. The backstory is so long, I don't even

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>know where to start, but the short version is, I've

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>been this guy's mistress for about ten years. God damn.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>He has a girlfriend pretty much his wife, no kids together,

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>but they both have kids from different relationships. It's clear

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that he's never going to leave her, and I've always

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>known that whatever. Fine, No, the fuck, it's not whatever. Fine, girl.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I like him and maybe even love him so much

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that I'm willing to be his ride or die mistress.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>It's so many things wrong with that ride or die mistress.

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>It's bad enough that you already a mistress, then you

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>his ride or die. When the fuck are we gonna

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>stop making ourselves available in this accessible to a man

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>ride or die? No, I don't even care that. It's

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>just the saying words whole power, and I honestly hate that.

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I've never used that term for myself, not as a teenager,

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>not as a woman in my twenties, and now I'm

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>in my thirties. I don't think I ever wanted to

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>be a nigga's riddle, die, I'm telling you, uh huh,

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm continuing. So she says, I'm so crazy

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>about him. I even moved into the same building as him,

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>which his girlfriend also lives in with him. I mean,

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>will due. I literally live over top of him. So

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>lately he's been busy at work and has not been

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>giving me any attention, which is off to me because

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>he always makes time for me. Paranoia got the best

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>of me, and thoughts of him possibly seeing someone else

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>came to mind. Well, how many other people he got

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>time to see? If he lived with his girlfriend and

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>his other girlfriend live over top of him, what the fuck?

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he might be seeing someone else. Girl, He might

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>be seeing his girlfriend, that's what the fuck happened, And

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>she may have found out about your little ass, and

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>so he need to take the attention off of y'all

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>real quick, cause shit getting hot. You don't understand now

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>if it is somebody else, what are you gonna do?

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>What does that make you number two? Or number three?

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>What does that? I mean You're not number one? Now, listen,

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 1>you don't have a problem with that. Be that as

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it may. I'm here to tell you that's some bullshit.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>That's wrong. I don't know how old you are. I

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what you're doing in your life right now,

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>but I mean, I can't even say that you're a

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>young woman. I know you've given ten years of a

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>one sided relationship to a man. And the reason why

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I say it's one sided because I bet he's your

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>only one, but you're not his only one, and you don't.

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I hate to talk to other women like this, but

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>wake your ass up. Do you know you're so valuable,

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>You're so beautiful, you deserve to be the only woman

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a man is with. Do you not know that you

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. I need you to wake up here.

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I would love to know how old you or I

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>would love for you to write me some more and

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>give me some more information about you, because baby, I

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>feel very very sorry. Actually I am very very upset

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>with you. I don't feel sorry for you, though, because

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you willingly gave this nigga ten years of your life.

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>You willingly did that. I hope you ain't in your forties.

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope you ain't in your thirties. Baby. I hope

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 1>you're not older than twenty five. That's what I really,

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>really fucking hope and I hope this ain'ts some old

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 1>last man who got money, because I hear this story

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>all too often. Baby, you can go get your own money,

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>or you can go get you somebody your age with

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>some other fucking money, or you know what I'm saying.

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's so many, so many opportunities of love for

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>you in life. And you and you're sharing willingly, sharing

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 1>a man with one, maybe two other women. That's some

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>crazy shit you live in. All y'all live in the

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>same building with Natara Peter and a mana going to

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>fuck on what is going on? I know you better

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>not get pregnant, and I know you better not ever

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>think about knocking on ay motherfucking door because guess what,

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 1>who ain't gonna leave her? Okay, she lived with the nigga.

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>She the closest to the nigger than you. You still

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>live by yourself, so there's still hope. Because he ain't

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>living with you. You need to move out that goddamn building.

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that, But I'm also tell you this.

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee you if you leave this man alone, he'll

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>come crawling. He'll come crawling, and you gotta be strong

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 1>enough to say no. See, he's used to you chasing

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and chasing and chasing and chasing. That's why he put

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you on the back burner for whenever it's convenient for

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>him to talk to you, for him to deal with

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you ten years. Girl, please leave that motherfucker alone and

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>still stay in the same building. If you can't, just

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>up and leave. So I say, still stay in the building,

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>but start dealing with somebody else, Start having another nigga.

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Come over there, girl, what the fuck? Get your mind

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>off that shit. That man is downstairs, not worrying about

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you one bit until he sees you, until he lays

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>his eyes on you, and he's probably scared to death

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.919
<v Speaker 1>every fucking night that you're gonna not go on the

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>fucking door, you know what I'm saying. But that ain't

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna do shit, and ain't gonna do shit. She probably

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>she probably will be mad at him, but she ain't

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna go nowhere. You just told me he ain't never

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>leaving her. You think she leaving him? And do you

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>think you the first person that he cheated with. She

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.679
<v Speaker 1>probably already know he cheated, you know what I'm saying.

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Or he's cheating, so you gotta be smarter than her.

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be smarter than him. Get the fuck about

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the situation, Update me and give me some more meat

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>on the bones. Let me know what you end up

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>coming up with, a girl. Let me know what you

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>come up with. I can't believe that if you love me,

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Move it on. Hi there, Jess, please fix my mess.

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I took a break from dating, and I decided to

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>cut my family completely off the beginning of this year.

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I realized that I was carrying this childhood trauma for

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty years and put it past me. When I cut

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>my family off, m I finally came to terms that

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>my mom will never sincerely apologize for choosing a sick

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>man over her daughter, and my siblings picking sides. Lately,

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been smiling a lot more social and the word

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>no has become my favorite word to say. I know

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>what that feel like, boll. I am in full control

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>of not letting anybody disturb my peace. I know that's right.

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>The minute I've recognized a red flag, that person is

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>getting dropped with no more warnings. Now I am ready

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>to start dating, but I feel like I won't be

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>taken seriously, since I am not close with my family,

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>do you think a man will still want a relationship

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>with me if the chances of meeting my family is

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>very slim? Thanks in advance. All right, well, baby girl,

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>It all depends on how bad your family issues has

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>affected you. How have they affected you. It seems like

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot of family trauma there, because if you

0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>had to cut your family completely off, who maybe it

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>was very unhealthy for you and mentally unhealthy for you

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>as well, because you're not supposed to surround yourself with

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>anything but positivity and love, even if there is hardly

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>any around you. You have to create that space for

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>you to feel safe and to have a peace of mind.

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>If your family was interfering with that or contributing to

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the wrong side of it and or even to your

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>well being, then I am all for your decision. But

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>family is family, you know what I'm saying. So I'm

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>never vouching for you to completely cut them off forever,

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Sometimes things just you just

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>have to y'all have to get to the bottom of things.

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know you didn't mention that you will never

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>You feel like you'll never get an apology from your mother.

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>It's therapy, something that you guys talked about. Do you

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>not want to do therapy? Are you not ready? You

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of people force therapy on people, and

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>people just have to go when they feel the time

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>is right for them, because a lot of people still

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>don't understand what therapy really is and how it can

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>actually help you more than hurt you, you know what

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, and more than exposing yourself. You really may

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.680
<v Speaker 1>just may just needed somebody to talk to, to hear

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you out and to sort things out for you' That's

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>what therapy is, help you cope, you know what I'm saying.

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Not in a negative way now, Yes I do to

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>answer your question, Yes, I certainly do believe that you

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>can still find love with a good man who you

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>can explain this to a man with an open mind,

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>a man who is going to be patient enough for

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you to explain this shit. Finally, whenever you get the chance.

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't just let anybody into your business.

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 1>That's something that you just don't go around saying. Or

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll cut my family off because of the d and

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 1>because this happened, and that happened. I don't want them

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to drive you away, and they make me different, and

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to drive you away because of something

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>my family is making me feel and how they're making

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>me act, and you know I act a certain way

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not comfortable around them, or that. You know,

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>all of that stuff can be talked about because it's

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>not really solely about your family when you're dating unless

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.439
<v Speaker 1>you are a person of tradition where you want to

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>get married. You want to bring them home to mom

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.079
<v Speaker 1>and pop. You want to you know, I don't know

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.679
<v Speaker 1>if you have siblings, but you know you want to

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>bring them around your grandparents. You want you want your

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>man to meet your cousins and you know, your uncle

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.839
<v Speaker 1>and your aunts and stuff like that. If you are

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a person of tradition for a family tradition more specifically,

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I do understand. I understand that. But yes, yeah, just understand.

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>When you date, you don't date for your family. Okay.

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And in this story and the fact that you ask me,

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that tells me that you must have feel that you

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>lost a relationship due to your family problems. You must

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>have gone through something with a family with family and

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 1>a boyfriend or something like that. But yes, baby, all

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>hope is not lost for you because you're taking a

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>break away from your family, you know what I mean. Now,

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you said completely off, you cut them completely off. But

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna say a break. You know, we all

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>need each other. Girl. The world is so fucking nuts

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>and crazy right now. You have to at least give

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:14.199
<v Speaker 1>grace to loved ones. I'm not saying be stupid and

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.439
<v Speaker 1>let anybody do anything to you. I'm not saying you

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>should willingly take disrespect, no, but just give them grace

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 1>enough because people do change, and it starts with them

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>noticing that there was a problem that they could have created.

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, the first part is accountability on both ends.

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>So yes, yes, because I felt like this was a

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 1>two part story. You told me a lot that I

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>want to help you fix with your family, and then

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you told me some with dating. But yes, I think

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you can. But you just update me and keep me

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>in the loop and everything, because I really want to

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>see you going to date, girl, And I see you

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>going to date that's kind of creepy, but I want

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to know that you will get out here. You know

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, There's nothing wrong with that. Like I said,

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>just make sure you keep all communication open, be honest,

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.439
<v Speaker 1>and if you get serious with somebody, then that's when

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>you start thinking about sitting down with that person, telling

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>them all of this information, and hopefully they will still

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>love you for you. I don't see a reason why

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 1>man will get up and leave because you and your

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>family ain't saying out to aye. You fucking with me

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 1>or you're fucking with my family, you know what I mean.

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Although there is a bigger picture, yes, weddings and all that,

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>but cross that bridge when y'all get there. You gotta

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>get past this first. So yes, girl, keep me updated,

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>let me know, Hold up, hold up, I know this

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>shit getting good, but listen to just a couple seconds

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.199
<v Speaker 1>of a commercial. If you love me, you'll listen. This

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>is a smooth episode. And then everybody know how to

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>spell and y'all doing good? All right, last story. Then

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting up out of here. I got a show

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>at TSU. Y'all at Tennessee State University tonight, y'all? All right?

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:50.319
<v Speaker 1>All right, dad homecoming, yay, yay, all right. Last one, Jesz,

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I need you to help me fix my mess. Shaking

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>my motherfucking head. I have been in an on and

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>off relationship with my baby daddy for the past ten years.

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Everybody got this ten word today. In those ten years

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of long on and offs, he has also been with

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>one of his baby mothers, who he's been involved with

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen plus years. Damn, we both have known about

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 1>each other and dealt with it accordingly. Long story short,

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>me and him went through a rough patch for about

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>a year where we wasn't involved with each other. No fucking,

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.319
<v Speaker 1>no chilling, just straight parenting. Not gonna lie. In that time,

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I did the most. I mean, hey, I was single,

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know how to act, and I was heartbroken

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and did things I wasn't proud of. Hoh well, aha,

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I see what you did that, she said, hoh well, okay,

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>so you went and lived your life. Okay. He was

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a little hot girl. Real quick, I understand, I get

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the translation. Well, fast forward. He got into some legal

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>trouble with that same baby mother and the first person

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>he called was me, of course, And what did I do?

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Drop everything and ran to him. I mean, because at

0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, I still love this man.

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Fast forward to the present. He hold up, did she

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 1>end the damn that? Yall? That's how she ended it?

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>How you gonna get me all excited for the damn

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>story and then stop right there, damn you. Oh my god,

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that's some bullshit. I think she did this shit on purpose,

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 1>because how the fuck well, I'm about to give you

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>advice from where you began the story until now, and

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>then you can give me the second part, because I'm

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>damn sure gonna write you back and ask you what

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the fuck is he doing now in the present, because

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you fast forward to the present and then said he

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>and then stopped like he caught you about to tell

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>me his business or something, and said, bitch, give me

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the phone. Shit. All right. So you've been on and

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>off with your baby daddy for the past ten years,

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, But he also been dealing with one of

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>his other baby mothers, who obviously their child is older.

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 1>You said he been dealing with her for fifteen plus years.

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if that if he had

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>a baby with you before her, But you come second.

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>It's basically what you're telling me. You've never been first,

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>is what you also are telling me, because he's never

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>left her alone. If it's been fifteen years for her

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and ten years for you, you was the other woman.

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, and then she could still be the other

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>woman as well. Shit, because what if it's a bitch

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 1>that y'all ain't find out about yet that he been

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>around for twenty You know what I'm saying, that you

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>just never know. You said, y'all went through a rough

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>patch for about a year. Y'all ain't fuck, y'all ain't

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 1>do nothing but just cole parent. And you said that's

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>when you did the most because you was heartbroken and

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 1>all of that shit. And then you was basically out

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 1>here on your sexy red shit. You know, you ain't

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>say you was the raw dog queen, but you out

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 1>here skiing is what you admitted. And it's all right.

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>A lot of women have that phase in their lives.

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>It could be before love, after love, all their lives.

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.320
<v Speaker 1>It don't matter, you know what I'm saying. So something

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you did say that I did not like. I want

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>women to stop fucking doing. Is reducing themselves. This reminds

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 1>me of what I just said to the girl with

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the first story. This is again you diminishing yourself. You know,

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you are allowing a man to have more than one woman.

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 1>And what I mean by allowing him because you can't

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 1>make him choose you and only you. You know what

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, He dealing with y'all for convenience. Like when

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>it comes to his convenience, he probably beefing with the

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>other bib mother. So that's why he fucking called you. Yeah,

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>he beefing with her. Shit. Yeah, of course he gonna

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>call you. And if he was beefing with you and

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>he got into some legal trouble behind you, he would

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>call her. Do you not see? Sister, Sister Tya and Tamara?

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you not see? That's what y'all are in his eyes,

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 1>twin baby Mama, because y'all both do the same shit

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>for him. That's exactly what y'all are. And that's some bullshit.

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes it takes for me to repeat your mess

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>back to you for you to fix it your damn self.

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy. I know, he your baby daddy. You won't

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>always have to deal with him being around, in him

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>being in your life because he is the father of

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 1>your child or children, you know what I'm saying. However,

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>he's never going to choose only you. I don't care

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.719
<v Speaker 1>how many kids you lay down and have with him.

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.239
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna ever only choose you. You know why,

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>because you're never going to demand that. You don't demand

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>that respect from him. You just sat here and told

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>me that you and the other baby mother knew that

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:29.680
<v Speaker 1>he was dealing with both of y'all at the same time.

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Y'all just both accepted it and handled him accordingly. That

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 1>basically mean y'all went along with it. That's all probably

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.640
<v Speaker 1>gave him a little bit of lip and a little

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 1>bit of tantrum, and you know, did whatever y'all thought

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>was gonna hurt his feelings. But baby, if y'all still

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day laying down with him

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and still jumping when he's say, jump, or doing things

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>for him, or sleeping with him when it's convenient or whatever,

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 1>or when you know he's mad and beefing with the

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 1>other one, that's when he over there with you. You know,

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. All three of y'all may as well

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 1>be in a polyamorous relationship. You know, I know you're

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>not attracted to her. I don't know, but I'm gonna

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>just say that. But that polyamorous thing was literally just me,

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, being sarcastic. But that's what that is. You

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 1>already know. I mean, well, It's an open relationship, ain't it, y'all?

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Just both still mad about each other. When you feel

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.159
<v Speaker 1>that he favors her more, you get upset. You just

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 1>said you do the fucking most, and you go out

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and you start hoing, you know what I mean. Common

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 1>denominator is him. Get rid of him, Learn how to

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>co parent without co fucking him. Learn how to co

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>parent without still being his doormat. Learn how to do that.

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.879
<v Speaker 1>A lot of women do this shit too often, you know,

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>more often than not. I can't stand it. Know you're

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>fucking worth and that's so cliche, but I'm never gonna

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>stop saying it to women, because you need to know.

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 1>If you don't know, do shit to increase and to

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 1>promote self love for yourself. You need to love yourself.

0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying you hate yourself, but you damn sure

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 1>don't love yourself more than you love that man. I'm

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you that because you dropped everything and ran

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and he called you because he needed you, Because he

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>needed you, that's probably the only time he call you

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 1>when he needs you for something. And yes, it feels

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>good to be needed. It feels good until you need

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the same motherfucker. That needed you. You understand what I'm saying.

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 1>It feels good into a motherfucker keep needing you and

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you're not getting anything back, not even love and honesty

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 1>like that type of shit, you know what I'm saying, Loyalty, faithfulness,

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>all of that shit, Compliments, back rubs and talking about

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.199
<v Speaker 1>no judgment. He makes you feel good. It's only you

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and him when you all together, it's only about you.

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.679
<v Speaker 1>It's about you when y'all ain't together. That's what the

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>fuck you want. That's what every woman wants. I don't

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.400
<v Speaker 1>give a fuck who turns their head away and who

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.680
<v Speaker 1>driving in a car listening to this shit right now

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>disagreeing with me. Every woman want that. I'm not a man,

0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 1>so I can't speak for them. But listen, everyone want

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that shit, whether you want it from another woman or

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 1>from a man, or from a group of people. That's

0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck you want a group of people at

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>one time, you know what I'm saying. Because everybody like

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 1>different shit. They got different purposes. But everybody wants to

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 1>be loved. That's one thing we all have in common.

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Everybody wants to be loved. Okay, so I think you

0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 1>should pay attention to who you are. You know what

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, because another man could be making you the

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 1>happiest woman that you've ever been, you know what I'm saying,

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 1>and you could be making the right man the happiest

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:38.679
<v Speaker 1>man that he's ever been. So update me, girl. I

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>need to know what the fast forward was looking like.

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>I need to know what today is looking like, so

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I can give you further advice if you come back,

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 1>if you come back, because sometimes I fix somebody mess

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and I gave it to him to blunt and they'd

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>be like, fuck Jess, I ain't talking back guard, but

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.320

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.200
