<v Speaker 1>episode with your Girl just hilarious. Now I'm fixing mess

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 1>from day on and day out. I will be fixing

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>mess for the rest of the season, and y'all are

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>sending me more of it and I love it. So

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>we're just gonna jump right in. We have a voice memo,

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I say. Somebody took advantage of that to Yes, I

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.639
<v Speaker 1>love it. What you got to say. Me and my boyfriend,

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>we've kind of been dealing with each other since I

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>was sixteen, he was eighteen. He got a baby. We're

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>dealing with each other for three years, had a baby,

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and then we fell out and didn't talk for a year,

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and now we've been back together for a year and

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.319
<v Speaker 1>then had another baby at all. When we got back

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>together a year ago, he told me that he was

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>done with the bullshit. He wanted to be with me

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and only and he loved me. He was in love

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>with me. He was gonna trying his hardest, trying his

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>best to get me and keep me. So he got me,

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and I felt super secure at first, but lately, since

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 1>this one situation happened, everything he does has me side

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>eying him, and it's not comfortable because we lived together,

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>we're raising the family together, and I feel like I

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>don't even trust the man that I'm sleeping next to.

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>So I told you I had a baby. When the

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>baby was around one or two months, his phone was

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>in the in the kitchen and lit up, and I've

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>seen that he had missed a call from D. So

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, who is D? Because I know everybody that

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>he talks to, and I don't know who the D is.

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>So I look at the call log and I've seen

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>that they had been on the phone the night before

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>for about an hour and the text messages were super dry.

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>So I just asked him, I said, who is D?

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Like who is this? And he's like, oh, it's just

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a girl that I used to work with because he

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>used to have this job. He got fired after Christmas.

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.559
<v Speaker 1>So he said that the girl was a co worker

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and that you know, it was just talking on the phone,

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>like they had never met up or done anything outside

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>of work for real. So I believed him because, like

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I said, he made me feel secure and I trusted him,

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and YadA, YadA, YadA. Come to find out that was

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:24.679
<v Speaker 1>all a big, that juicy fucking a lie. When I

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>saw his phone, I was around two months ago. Fast

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>forward to three weeks ago, I lost my debit card.

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at my car and for my debit card,

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and I opened a little I called the sunglass hatch

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.959
<v Speaker 1>in the front. Opened the sunglass hatch and I see

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>a piece of paper with a phone number and an

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>address on it. So I'm like, whatse information is this

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>because it wasn't my handwriting, it wasn't my piece of paper.

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>So I put the phone number in cash act and

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the name comes up and it's the d girl. So

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, why does he have her address? If they

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>never did anything outside of work, why would you need

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>her address? So I'm like, okay, I'm to hit her

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>up because if I go to him, he's just gonna

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>keep sucking lying. So I hit her up and I said,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>this is his girlfriend. You know what's going on with y'all?

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>So she was like, oh, yeah, he's real cool. That

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>was my dog, but we don't We haven't talked in

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a while, and he used to come over and we

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>were smoking talk so I'm like, come over and smoking

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>talk because I told her, like he said that you

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>were a coworkers sol, what's up? And she was like

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and um, we never worked together. So I'm like, well,

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>where did you meet him? And she stopped responding, which

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>is fine. So I'm pissed, right, I go up to

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>his job. I get my car. He's like, what's wrong

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>with you? And I basically told him I'm not working

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>with you right now, like you're what was wrong with me?

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>You're my problem, you lie, you cheated, blah blah blah.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going off. So I go home. He gets home

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>from work and we're talking about it and he's like,

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>this is what happened. You made me feel this way.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>So this is what I did. I created the plenty

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>of fishing can because you wouldn't talk to me, and

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I wanted somebody to talk to me and give me

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>some attention. I'm like, how am I supposed to trust

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that you want physically cheat on me? Would have one

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>day I decided not to have sex with you for

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>a month or two, You're gonna go out and cheat,

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Like that's what you're gonna do. Because if that's the case,

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>if we were going out and getting things from other

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 1>people who were lacking at each other. Then I would

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>have been gone a long time ago, because you it's

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.480
<v Speaker 1>there plenty of things that's wrong with you, and I

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 1>stuck with you and learned to love you how you

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't want to be loved anyways. So that was one situation,

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 1>and then ever since then, I'm just been a side

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>eying him. Like today he left to go to the

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>store and I hear somebody yell out hey, and they

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>said his name was just saying his name is Joe, Hey, Joe.

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I hear somebody y'all hey Joe from my bedroom window,

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't know you were back. So I went

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>out on the balcony and I Loki was looking for

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.280
<v Speaker 1>his mom because she said she was on the way,

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>so I thought that was her. So I go out

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.159
<v Speaker 1>on the patio to look and and nobody's there. But

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>he's getting out his brother's car, so I'm like, okay.

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 1>So he get in the house and I'm like, oh,

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>who's that that saying hey to you? And he gasped

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>at me. He was like, I don't know what you're

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about. You sound crazy, You're tripping, and nobody saying

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>my name. There was a girl here for door dash

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and I held the door open for her and she

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>said thank you. I'm like, I definitely heard somebody saying

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>hey Joe, but okay, and he's just like, na, no,

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you're tripping. I'm like, oh, you didn't see me walk

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>out on the balcony. He's like, nah, I didn't even

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>see you. So that his brother comes over and he's

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>like you he told me about you was mad because

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>he thought I was mad at him, like, oh, you

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>got holes walking around the neighborhood and saying hey, because

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>we just moved here last Wednesday. We've been here. I

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>don't even know what it is, but we just got here.

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>So no, I don't think you got holes all around

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the neighborhood. That's not what I was thinking. My problem

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>is you gaspling me, trying to make me feel like

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm crazy, that I'm hearing ship when that's not the case.

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I heard what the funk I heard. You didn't hear it,

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>so all you had to say was I didn't hear

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.040
<v Speaker 1>that and left it at that. But you wanted to

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>make me feel like I'm crazy, So he told his

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>brother that I was mad, So his brother is like, yeah,

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>he told more you were mad, Um, I saw you

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>come out on the balcony. So I'm like, oh, so,

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>y'all did see me come out on the balcony because

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>he said he didn't see me. He's like, oh, yeah,

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 1>we've definitely see you because I said, look at day shure.

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like like, just I don't know what to

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>do because I want to be with him, and like,

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't see us ending. But it's like, um started

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 1>to get the fucking vibes that I did when I

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>was a teenager dealing with this nigga like and all

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>his bullshit, and I don't like it. It's not comfortable.

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to walk around with the attitude because

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 1>you're pissing me off, Like I don't like that ship.

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And then we just moved to his hometown, so it's

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>like he knows everybody here and I don't know nobody.

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't talk to my family, I don't talk to

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>my moms. I talked to you with my brother, and

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.919
<v Speaker 1>I have one friend that lives in Georgia and my

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>brother lives in Charlotte and I'm in Michigan. So it's

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>like I don't have nobody. All I have is him,

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>and he's letting me down big time, like he is

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>letting me down right now. And I don't think he

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 1>understands that because everything he does needs a justification. He

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 1>can never just admit I was wrong for that and

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>leave it at that. It has to be justified. So

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to do, Like do I break

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>up with him? Just say fuck it? Because I can't

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>keep living like this. I don't know what to do.

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Tell me what? Okay? So I definitely understand, baby girl.

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I want you to calm down because I know, even

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>with you telling me that you were getting worked up,

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you're very frustrated. You are. I'm not gonna say walk away.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm still not. I'm still not. Y'all have been together

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>for a while, since y'all were teenagers. Y'all been on

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and off. I'll say more so on then off. So

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that's why I'm not telling you just to walk away

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and just to give up. It's just that you two

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>have known each other and have dealt with each other

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>for so long that I'm not gonna say you guys

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>are growing apart. But sometimes people can mistake growing pains

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.559
<v Speaker 1>for growing apart. It just seems like that you two

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>may need some time away from each other. Now these days,

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't say that to somebody, you know, a younger couple,

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>they'll automatically think that someone is going to be with

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>someone else when they say, oh, we need to take

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>a break, or you know, the person who initiates the

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>brick has to just be going to funk with somebody else. No,

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.679
<v Speaker 1>that's still true. That's very valid. Self peace, self joy,

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>self love. Those are three things that are necessary in

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a relationship because you're still your own individual person. No,

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you should not be having to walk around with an attitude.

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>But let's figure out what he's going through to you know,

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, I understand. You move to another city for him,

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 1>another city and state you don't have nobody, so that

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>also plays a part in your frustration as well, on

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.719
<v Speaker 1>top of dealing with this bumpy road that y'all are

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>on right now. Then you'll have kids together too, so

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that can also play a part. You have to figure

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>out what's going on with him. Where's his head at?

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>He has friends, he has family, he has a foundation there. Okay,

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>but that doesn't mean he's happy either. That doesn't mean

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not something going on with him mentally? Where is

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>he mentally? Where is he? You have to figure it out.

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>That's just the conversation. But if he's going to sit

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>there and act like you crazy and try to flip

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>everything on you, then that's when you fall all the

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>way the funk back. Even with having children, that's when

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you fall all the way the funk back. I don't

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.319
<v Speaker 1>know what your financial status is. I don't know if

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you have a job or you know whatever, if you

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>are financially stable enough to go get your own place,

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>just to create space between you two to see if

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>this is really meant to be, just to see it's

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 1>nothing wrong with that. You can't lose anything that you

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have already lost anyway, You understand what I'm saying.

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You can't lose anything by taking a step back from

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>this relationship if you weren't already supposed to lose it.

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's not supposed to be there, Maybe you're not

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be there, And I get it. Sometimes you

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>just don't know what to do. I understand. But that's

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>why there has to be solid communication between you and him,

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:02.439
<v Speaker 1>and he cannot play these games. He can't. It has

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to be a reason why. But he can't play these games.

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>If you feel like a man is cheating on you,

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're not an insecure person, most of the time,

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>you're fucking right. Even if you are an insecure person,

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>something had to make you that way. But most of

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the time, well, a lot of times women get in

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>our heads. We get in our heads and we'll create

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>scenarios that aren't even remotely close to being true just

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>because we haven't caught a person cheating, just because things

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>saying fishy. But I've been wrong many of times. I've

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>been right many of times. And I'm not saying whether

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you're wrong or right, I'm saying, most of the time,

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.719
<v Speaker 1>when you feel a person is cheating on you, they are.

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.559
<v Speaker 1>You've started to give your everything, You even utrooted your

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>life and move to a total different state to be

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>with this man. You don't have friends, you don't have family.

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>That can also be a thing that he's taking advantage

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>of as well, because totally picked up and moved to

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>where he is so he can feel like he's controlling

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the situation. It's easy for a guy to feel that way.

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>He knows you have no one there but him, and

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess your one friend. But he knows that it's

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>for him solely that you moved, so he already has

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>in his mind that he has controlled you to a

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>certain extent. That's why he does things and say things like, oh,

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>it's because of you. You were doing this, that's why

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I went to get her number. It was it was

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that's why you were lacking this. That's why I went

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.959
<v Speaker 1>here to get it. That's where And you made a

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>valid point. Well, if it was all about what we lack,

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I would have been left your ass. I stuck with you.

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>You're lacking a lot even now. You've lacked in the past,

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and I still I still never stepped out on you.

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I gave you my all, I'm giving you my all,

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's draining me now. I'm tired of this ship.

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>So y'all two need to sit down and talk. If

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you're not getting any thing, yes you

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 1>need to up and leave. Yes you do. And I

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>trust that you can do that, and I trust that

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you will because of the type of woman I feel

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that you are. Just the way you speak, just the

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>way you tell me your story, I can tell yeah,

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you have a backbone. You're just in love with a man,

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that's all. And we can same week for men a

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of times. But no, it's just that we give

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you are all we expect the same thing. We don't

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.719
<v Speaker 1>get it. Now we have to act the fucking donkey. Okay,

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>before I move on, I want to ask you something

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 1>real quick, girl, What fucking year are we in? Why

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the fuck is bitches right in their numbers and the

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>addresses on papers and sticky notes and they is still

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>leaving them in the car. That's how my father got

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>caught you one time. How the fuck it what from

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>back end? And I'm talking about back in the day?

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Who is still writing down numbers and addresses? Any fucking

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>lied about that? Girl? Bend as motherfucking co workers two.

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>So keep this ship in the back of your mind.

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna say leave. It could be a bumpy

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>road right now. It could be something that he's going through.

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>But don't ignore ship. Don't forget ship. Motherfucker's lie all

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the time. They lie all the time. That doesn't make

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it right. But maybe he wasn't sleeping with her. Maybe

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't. Maybe that was just somebody that he was

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>getting attention from. Because you were lacking with giving him attention.

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>That still don't make it the funk right. And if

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna play around with you and try to flip

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>shit on you and ship like that, then maybe it

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 1>is time for you to take a step back. That

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe what you need to do check back in with me.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I don't know you're living situation. I

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you are stabilized enough financially to go

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.680
<v Speaker 1>get your own place just to see what happens with him,

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you know you. I don't think you need to be

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in a situation where he feels that you need him

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>so he can do whatever the funk you want to

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.560
<v Speaker 1>do because you need him. You're not gonna leave him

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>because you're in a whole another city. I don't want

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.599
<v Speaker 1>him to feel like that. You're a little cripple, you

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. And you can't go and fly

<v Speaker 1>on your fucking own because you all away in Michigan.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.079

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>strong enough to do it. You don't need no friends,

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>no family, no nothing. You don't okay, but you need

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to be in your right mind. You can't let him

<v Speaker 1>me large paragraphs. So here we go. Hey, jas, my

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>name is John. I am a transgender male female to male.

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I have known this girl for about two and a

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>half years, and we dated for a bit at the beginning,

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>but she flipped out and started tripping because she didn't

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 1>believe I was on the phone with my mom. We

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 1>went back and forth as friends after the fallout, and

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>recently started talking again. I let it be known that

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>we were just friends from the beginning, but she still

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 1>tried to press a relationship, introduced me as her boyfriend,

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and called me bay, babe, baby, et cetera. I usually

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>nip it in the bud, but it still happens fast forward.

0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I told her I didn't want to be with her

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 1>relationship wise, and that she was a great friend and

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to keep her as a friend. She got

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>upset and started making it as if I was the

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>bad guy and that I let her on when I

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 1>made it clear that we were just friends. I want

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to keep her as a friend, but I don't think

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>she can respect my boundaries. But she is a good

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>goddamn person and I like her dot dot dot as

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a friend. Oh. I mentioned I was trans because during

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the argument, after telling her I wanted to be friends,

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>she started addressing me using feminine terms instead of masculine,

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and that is kind of why I am in a

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>bind because we always make up, But disrespecting my transition

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>just ain't it. I definitely understand. First of all, I'm

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>going to tell you that I'm absolutely proud and I

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>give you the utmost respect just for telling me that

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you know you are transgendered. You went from female to male.

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>But let's just start even before we get to her

0:16:56.000 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 1>disrespecting your transition. She seems like a very secure female.

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Off the rip. You told her you were on the

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 1>phone with your mother, and she didn't believe you that

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.200
<v Speaker 1>she were on the phone with your mother, So something

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.919
<v Speaker 1>they're just that's a red flag that she thinks that

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you would have to lie about being on the phone

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 1>with your mom. Maybe she's been through some ship and

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>shanet able to trust no damn body. I understand when

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>people get into arguments, people feel like they have to win.

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Some people just have to have the last word. Some

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>people just gotta win. Some people just have to hit

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 1>below the belt at times and sometimes every time. And

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>that was wrong for her to do. But that's the

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.439
<v Speaker 1>reason I feel that she was doing that. She wanted

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 1>you to hurt, and that is the only way that

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you could hurt because what other reason would she have

0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to say that she's trying to hurt you, Because I'm

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you how she feels. Even knowing that you

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 1>were born a female and you have transitioned into a male,

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 1>she still is in love with you. She is in

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>love with you, knowing every part of you. She's accepting

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of you, know your transition, and and she just really

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.400
<v Speaker 1>fell in love with a good person. Because I can

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 1>see that you are a good person from what I

0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>can gather from reading what you sent me. You know,

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 1>you seem like a really, really good person, and those

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>are hard to come by. She's taking the fact that

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you only want to be friends with her as rejection,

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>when she shouldn't even look at it that way. She

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 1>should look, Okay, this man still wants me in his

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 1>life as a friend, because I obviously I'm still somewhat

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 1>good of a fucking person. He doesn't want to be

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 1>with me, But that doesn't mean that I'm not a

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.199
<v Speaker 1>good person. You're looking at all her attributes, her traits

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 1>as a person, her personality, her character, and that says

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot about her that you even still want to

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>remain friends with her. You said she was a good person,

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 1>but that hurts when you want to be with someone

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're telling you know, I just want you as

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a friend, you know, because she probably can't figure out

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>why the funk she's not good enough. So these are

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.719
<v Speaker 1>just motions that she's probably going through. I've been in

0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that predicament as well. And if right, that's what it is,

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 1>she's just focusing on the negative part of it because

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.199
<v Speaker 1>she wants to be in your life, but not as

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a friend. And and she sounds like the type of

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>person that if she can't have you, no one can.

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>That's very toxic and very dangerous. But yeah, this girl

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.439
<v Speaker 1>is madly in love with you, and that person is

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>also dangerous as well. If you can use something against

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.640
<v Speaker 1>me that I told you or that you know it's

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a sensitive spot for me, then you're a malicious person.

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>You're vindictive. That says a lot about you. You're very

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.959
<v Speaker 1>selfish as well. Why are you trying to hurt me?

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 1>What does my my sex change? What does my transition

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 1>have to do with me not wanting to be with you?

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Why is that even coming up with a negative connotation

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.920
<v Speaker 1>behind it? If you love me, why would you use

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that against me? So I definitely do understand that part

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of it as well, and that hurts you. I imagine

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>that hurts you because this is a woman that you love.

0:19:56.160 --> 0:20:00.439
<v Speaker 1>So I never ever ever tell people to sever ties

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 1>with friends or lovers and ship like that, but I

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 1>would say take a step back from her because she

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 1>need to deal with her own hurt her own way.

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>You can't be a punching bag for her just because

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to be with her. Thank you for

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 1>submitting your story. I know that there are even some

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>things that you left out about her because you don't

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 1>even want me to judge her because you still love her.

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>But I know your relationship wasn't all peaches and cream.

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I can tell that her mouth get a little slick

0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and that she may have an attitude problem as well

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:32.160
<v Speaker 1>as need anger management. But you didn't tell me all

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that you know, and that's because you still love and

0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>respect her so much that you ain't even gonna try

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.000
<v Speaker 1>to throw no dirt on our name. But that's one

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>thing that you can't get past. I can tell I

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.359
<v Speaker 1>know it because you did bring that up, that she'll

0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>even refer to you as a female that's her own

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 1>and secure self. She needs to deal with that, Yes,

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you should take a step back from that, honey. You

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.360
<v Speaker 1>should and let her come around, because nine times out

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of tense, she's gonna need you before you need her.

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.919
<v Speaker 1>And moving on. Hey, Jess, please help me. I'm twenty

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>four and my boyfriend is forty two. We've known each

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:07.160
<v Speaker 1>other for six years and we've been dating almost three years.

<v Speaker 1>Since we've beneficial, he's had a stroke, a heart attack, flatline,

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.679

<v Speaker 1>we're working at waffle house and the pace sucks. I'm

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:26.640
<v Speaker 1>mentally exhausted and physically drained. He pressures me to give

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.199
<v Speaker 1>him a baby, but his daughter doesn't even funk with me.

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Every time I try to leave, he plays mind games

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>about how I'm giving up on him, and he doesn't

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 1>want to end up on first forty eight or snapped.

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 1>That's something that he can't change, and I understand that. However,

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what happened when you get up there in age, okay.

<v Speaker 1>and the pace sucks. You goddamn right, it sucks for

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 1>a forty two year old, it better suck. You're twenty four.

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.400
<v Speaker 1>You still need to be in school. You know, ain't

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:41.119
<v Speaker 1>nothing wrong with you work in a wiffle house, but

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>not with your forty two year old boyfriend who ain't

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 1>doing ship but depending on you. You're mentally exhausted and

0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 1>you're too fucking young to be. You're physically drained, and

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you're too fucking young to be. You're letting this man

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.120
<v Speaker 1>physically drain you. And now he talked about he want

0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to fucking baby. You dropped out of school. You work

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.440
<v Speaker 1>at the waffle house with him, and he's pressuring you

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 1>for a baby, but his other grown ass daughter don't

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 1>even funk with. Oh, I'm getting it. Now you're saying

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 1>his daughter don't even funk with him? Not you. Okay,

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 1>So we got one child that don't even funk with him,

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>but he's pressuring another child. Who was you to give

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:23.200
<v Speaker 1>him a baby? Okay? All Kelly, Damn. He plays mind

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 1>games with you because he knows he can control you.

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>You've been letting him do this. He got you to

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:33.159
<v Speaker 1>quit school to help support him, so he already know

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 1>he has control over you. He controls you. Where is

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 1>your father? I would love to know? Where's your mom?

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you have older brothers? I want to know more

0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>about you, because how did you get here? And them

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 1>little jokes that he says, You know, I ain't trying

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to end up on first forty eight or snap. Sometimes

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>they ain't playing about that. Sometimes they ain't jokes. He

0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:00.640
<v Speaker 1>might be dead as serious about that. And now you're afraid,

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:04.440
<v Speaker 1>but you're close to giving up. Oh my god, I'm

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:07.440
<v Speaker 1>afraid that nothing that I can say will even help you.

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>It won't even get through to you. I'm afraid of that.

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I really hope it does, though. I feel like you

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 1>need to get the funk out. I don't care how

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>you do it, but you need to get out. Has

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:20.119
<v Speaker 1>he ever put his hands on you before or are

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>these just a little harmless threats that he says when

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 1>you say you're gonna leave. I don't know, but I

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 1>know you're smart, and I feel like you can figure

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>out a way to get the funk out without ending

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 1>up dead or ending up a victim of domestic abuse.

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I feel that you can get out. You're young, and

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>with all these strokes and all the attacks and flatlines,

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 1>that motherfucker might not be able to catch you, so

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you might can leave while he's looking ship. Let me know,

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:47.240
<v Speaker 1>because this pisces me off. This pisses me to funk off,

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and I want to ask you. Are you from New Orleans?

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And is that where you live? Just reading your Instagram name,

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that's where you may be, but let me know.

0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Check back in with me, because no young girl deserves this,

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 1>but I want to know more about you and how

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the funk did you even get here? And we're gonna

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>end the episode on that note, y'all, thank you for

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:10.160

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>it means so much more to me. Again, you never

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:25.920
<v Speaker 1>have to say your name, you never have to tell

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:28.359
<v Speaker 1>me your significant other's name. You don't even have to

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:31.200
<v Speaker 1>tell me how old you are and where you're from.

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:33.679
<v Speaker 1>This is a safe space. I want everybody to feel

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 1>that they are safe telling just their mess. And I

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.400
