- 6:22Speaker 1: me neither. And if the men are really willing to
- 6:24Speaker 1: pay for it, like who complaining?

- 6:35Speaker 3: And I mean Chris Brown charged a twelve hundred okay, right,
- 6:41Speaker 3: but you don't even get a date with him, no,
- 6:43Speaker 3: which brings me to my next topic.
- 6:46Speaker 1: You get dick on your butt.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Right. So a woman says her boyfriend broke up with
- 6:53Speaker 2: her after her meat and greet picture with Chris Brown. So,
- 6:56Speaker 2: all right, this picture, y'all is really cute. They're hugged
- 6:59Speaker 2: up like kind of like a prom picture. I mean,
- 7:02Speaker 2: it don't look bad. It don't look bad. Don't like, no,
- 7:06Speaker 2: it doesn't. It was kind of innocent. But it says,
- 7:09Speaker 2: my boyfriend broke up with me because I allowed Chris
- 7:11Speaker 2: Brown Brown to hold my waist during the meet and greet.
- 7:14Speaker 2: After the picture went viral, my boyfriend immediately broke up
- 7:18Speaker 2: with me. He told me Chris Brown was too close
- 7:20Speaker 2: to me and I shouldn't have allowed him to hold
- 7:22Speaker 2: me like that. But I don't care. I will trade
- 7:24Speaker 2: my boyfriend for a meet and greet with Chris Brown
- 7:26Speaker 2: one hundred more times.
- 7:28Speaker 1: She said, and I'll do it again. I had that
- 7:36Speaker 1: meet on her back. Her boyfriend ain't like that shit
- 7:39Speaker 1: because he'd be seeing that damn that dance and how
- 7:42Speaker 1: that should be jumping.
- 7:44Speaker 2: I think every relationship should be allowed one celebrity crush
- 7:48Speaker 2: that if they ever got the chance to fuck, they
- 7:51Speaker 2: could no. Ah mean if my mom, if you ever
- 8:00Speaker 2: get close to your celebrity crush, is she gonna let
- 8:03Speaker 2: you do it? My boy? Because let me tell you happen.
- 8:08Speaker 1: You don't let him do it. But but let Itrew's
- 8:10Speaker 1: album come through or some ship like that. Them nigga's
- 8:13Speaker 1: gonna be mad as hell in men's mind, there's no
- 8:16Speaker 1: reason why you can't get that man, you know what
- 8:19Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like in their minds, like we got access
- 8:22Speaker 1: to everybody if you wanted to, Like.
- 8:24Speaker 2: We got to her kids. And it's probably right. And
- 8:29Speaker 2: that's why it's horror, my boy, because when it's my
- 8:32Speaker 2: third I'm probably gonna weird.
- 8:36Speaker 1: But how are you mad? Because like it's a celebrity.
- 8:39Speaker 1: She can't what's in a lifetime oftentime? Why you want
- 8:45Speaker 1: to make a big fuss. She needs to get rid
- 8:47Speaker 1: of him anyway, because he's probably jealous. Chris Brown Dick
- 8:49Speaker 1: wasn't on his back.
- 8:52Speaker 2: And it was probably just boys liked look at your
- 8:55Speaker 2: girl boy exactly.
- 8:58Speaker 1: That's all that ship was about doing a boy what
- 9:00Speaker 1: your homeboys.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Said, ego, it's ego. So she did, right, I mean
- 9:07Speaker 2: we broke up with her, and it was for the
- 9:09Speaker 2: best because you shouldn't really care that much.
- 9:13Speaker 1: You shouldn't and I mean she went viral. Also that
- 9:15Speaker 1: y'all could have used that as an opportunity to go
- 9:17Speaker 1: do some other shit like great business, start selling some products,
- 9:21Speaker 1: I don't know something, but instead you just became a
- 9:25Speaker 1: hater overnight.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Yeah. Over, I'm pretty sure, I say, some worst pictures
- 9:31Speaker 2: with Chris Brown.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Yeah, he just is taking like a garter belt off
- 9:34Speaker 1: one girl for ever. Not a garter belt. What is
- 9:37Speaker 1: the thing thinking your thigh? Is that a garter belt?
- 9:40Speaker 2: Right?
- 9:41Speaker 1: Yeah, he was just sliding one down. Somebody said it
- 9:44Speaker 1: was panties and I'm like, that's a garter belt. Yeah,
- 9:47Speaker 1: what's the problem.
- 9:48Speaker 2: What is the problem. It's just all relax a little bit,
- 9:54Speaker 2: all right.
- 9:54Speaker 1: So study shows that women need forty seven minutes forty
- 9:58Speaker 1: seven minutes of unbody a tension a day from their
- 10:02Speaker 1: man to feel happy and fulfilled in their relationship. Research
- 10:05Speaker 1: shows I don't know if these articles be real or not,
- 10:07Speaker 1: but they always fun. And this is on black Billionaire's
- 10:12Speaker 1: underscore Instagram. It says, fellas, you may be forty seven
- 10:18Speaker 1: they says, fellas what this is? Definitely who the fuck
- 10:21Speaker 1: wrote this? I'm gonna read how it says though, fellas,
- 10:23Speaker 1: you may be forty minutes of daily attention away. Oh
- 10:26Speaker 1: that does make sense. Daily attention away from keeping your
- 10:29Speaker 1: women happy and fulfilling your relationship. In the fast paced
- 10:33Speaker 1: world of modern relationships, emotional connection is more important than ever.
- 10:37Speaker 1: According to fightings inspired by renowned relationship expert expert doctor
- 10:42Speaker 1: John Gottman and studies published in Psychology Today, Pubman and
- 10:48Speaker 1: very well mined, women thrive in relationships where they receive
- 10:53Speaker 1: at least forty seven minutes of undivided attention each day
- 10:57Speaker 1: each day from their partners. This is just about being
- 11:00Speaker 1: in the same room or watching TV together. It's about intentional,
- 11:04Speaker 1: focused time spent, listening, sharing, and being emotionally present. Research
- 11:10Speaker 1: shows that when women feel seen and heard, their sense
- 11:13Speaker 1: of fulfillment and a relationship increases significantly, boosting overall happiness
- 11:18Speaker 1: and emotional security. Doctor Gotman, known for his ability to
- 11:22Speaker 1: predict relationship success with remarkable accuracy, has long emphasized the
- 11:26Speaker 1: importance of daily rituals of connection, small but meaningful moments
- 11:32Speaker 1: like checking in, emotionally sharing stories, or simply enjoying uninterrupted conversation.
- 11:38Speaker 1: When couples make time for these moments, they build a
- 11:41Speaker 1: stronger emotional foundation. The forty seven minute mark might seem
- 11:48Speaker 1: oddly specific, but it highlights the critical need for quality
- 11:52Speaker 1: over quantity. Just under an hour of focused attention a
- 11:55Speaker 1: day can lead to better communications, stronger intimacy, and increase
- 11:59Speaker 1: satisfaction on both sides. And the waiter bitch is smiling
- 12:03Speaker 1: at me across the camera. She's about to say, girl.
- 12:05Speaker 2: You read that good, and then I might think about that,
- 12:13Speaker 2: but you did. You did good. Though I'm probably you
- 12:17Speaker 2: look out. It only took five years for you to
- 12:19Speaker 2: be and not like you. What is happening girl? You
- 12:24Speaker 2: know what's happening? Soundly?
- 12:26Speaker 1: Don't my brain be moving faster than my damn mouth
- 12:29Speaker 1: a lot of times or the other way around. Yeah,
- 12:32Speaker 1: that's what be happening.
- 12:33Speaker 2: But no, why I was smiling is because I was
- 12:35Speaker 2: just thinking about Like was forty six minutes and the
- 12:38Speaker 2: bitch was like, I'm still sad, you know, I feel
- 12:41Speaker 2: long fulfilled and then after forty seven minutes, bitches was like, yeah,
- 12:44Speaker 2: life is good. I'm so happy now, Like how did
- 12:47Speaker 2: that get that exact number? Seconds? Like, yeah, I'm gonna
- 12:52Speaker 2: break up with him. I just don't like this. I
- 12:54Speaker 2: don't feel good. Forty seven minutes. They was like, he's
- 12:57Speaker 2: a man of my dreams. He's so perfect.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I mean I can I don't know why the forty
- 13:03Speaker 1: seven minutes. And even when they talked about the forty
- 13:06Speaker 1: seven minute mark, it still didn't like.
- 13:09Speaker 2: It makes sense. See how they got to that exact number.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Yeah, it just as critical need for quality over quantity.
- 13:16Speaker 1: I don't know how they got to forty seven minutes
- 13:19Speaker 1: exact right there.
- 13:20Speaker 2: If they could have said a little under an hour,
- 13:22Speaker 2: if they would have just like that, but forty seven.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Is crazy now, I want to know, like how Yeah, so,
- 13:29Speaker 1: I mean, rather you're taking like a little walk or
- 13:31Speaker 1: even like a forty seven minute phone call, like having
- 13:35Speaker 1: like giving your woman that forty seven minutes of undivided attention.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Especially I guess if you live in a house with
- 13:42Speaker 1: a man with kids and all that shit, like y'all
- 13:44Speaker 1: gotta gotta take time out for each other, because if
- 13:48Speaker 1: you're not falling in love, you're falling out of love.
- 13:50Speaker 2: I was talking to this guy and I was like,
- 13:52Speaker 2: I thought I liked him. And then I was driving
- 13:55Speaker 2: through a storm and I told him I was on
- 13:57Speaker 2: the phone with him. I was like, I'm really really scared.
- 13:59Speaker 2: I feel very much in danger. I'm scared. I'ma I
- 14:03Speaker 2: can't see anything in front of me. I'm gonna call
- 14:05Speaker 2: you back when I get through it. I call him
- 14:09Speaker 2: thirty minutes. I was driving terrified. I called him back.
- 14:12Speaker 2: He ain't answered the phone, and then he didn't call
- 14:15Speaker 2: me back until late that night and nothing was wrong
- 14:19Speaker 2: with him, so I stopped talking to him. Was that?
- 14:25Speaker 3: Uh?
- 14:28Speaker 2: Was I like tripping for that?
- 14:30Speaker 1: No, you were not overreacting. Like when I say I
- 14:33Speaker 1: want a man that is concerned about me and considers me,
- 14:38Speaker 1: I mean that. So, yeah, you were not concerned about
- 14:41Speaker 1: me enough. You didn't check back on me.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Yeah, and I make sure he ain't give a damn
- 14:45Speaker 2: clearly scared. Yeah, and he did not check back on me.
- 14:48Speaker 2: And that was a ooh that was a bound red flag.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Oh no, I can't talk to you no more. Yeah.
- 14:53Speaker 1: We I'm good, I'm cool. Yeah, okay, you know, like
- 14:57Speaker 1: I'm cutting niggas off for less nowadays. So right, they
- 15:00Speaker 1: they're like, nah, you you out of here?
- 15:02Speaker 2: Yes, right about your business?
- 15:05Speaker 1: Yeah, because a woman that you care about, you might
- 15:07Speaker 1: not even let her get off the phone, like now
- 15:09Speaker 1: let that phone on speaker phone while you drive. Right,
- 15:13Speaker 1: Men know what we expect, So me not doing the
- 15:16Speaker 1: things because actually men expect the same things. Right, So
- 15:19Speaker 1: if they're not doing the things, yeah, they're not fucking
- 15:23Speaker 1: with you. They will show you. They may not stay
- 15:26Speaker 1: out their mouth, but they will show you how much
- 15:28Speaker 1: they fuck with you.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Yeah. So there's that what we're talking about today.
- 15:38Speaker 1: How much money we'd be spending on the fucking stuff basically, So.
- 15:43Speaker 2: The neighborhood, y'all. We call this black dog crack. But
- 15:46Speaker 2: it is expensive, and that ain't no expensive.
- 15:48Speaker 1: It do cost.
- 15:49Speaker 2: It do cost. So we're gonna get into that, like
- 15:52Speaker 2: what it costs for us. Listen. I was in the
- 15:55Speaker 2: airport yesterday and I couldn't get in the lounge because
- 15:59Speaker 2: I ain't have Miami's card on me, so I was
- 16:02Speaker 2: actually sitting down in the airport. So I was mad.
- 16:05Speaker 2: I said, went to this little margarita spot in the server,
- 16:11Speaker 2: check my ID for my drink. And he was like, well, damn.
- 16:16Speaker 2: He was like, how y'all do that?
- 16:18Speaker 1: He was white, He's like, how y'all do that?
- 16:21Speaker 2: You know? First he was like take your glasses off?
- 16:23Speaker 2: Because I had my son glasses on. He was like, well, damn,
- 16:27Speaker 2: you're nine months older than me. But he looked very much.
- 16:35Speaker 1: I don't know what people expect you to look like
- 16:37Speaker 1: at what age like.
- 16:39Speaker 2: I think they expect you to look like them and don't.
- 16:44Speaker 2: But we're gonna get into it when we come back
- 16:47Speaker 2: from this commercial.
- 16:54Speaker 1: All right, y'all so black, don't crack, but it do cost.
- 16:57Speaker 1: So what were you saying about this man in the airport?
- 16:59Speaker 2: Town? So this man was taking my id. He took
- 17:04Speaker 2: my order and then asked to get my ID and
- 17:06Speaker 2: I gave it to him reluctantly because I don't really
- 17:09Speaker 2: tell people how old I am, but I guess I
- 17:11Speaker 2: had to at a restaurant and he was like, can
- 17:13Speaker 2: you take your glasses off from me? Please? So I
- 17:16Speaker 2: took my glasses off and he was like, dang, like
- 17:19Speaker 2: don cheeto. So he was like, damn, you look you
- 17:25Speaker 2: look half your age. God, damn, how do y'all do that?
- 17:29Speaker 2: What is it? Is? It? Skincare. What is it? I
- 17:32Speaker 2: was like, it's melanin. Maybe you're not made it, but
- 17:42Speaker 2: it's also lots of money, lots of products. Also because
- 17:47Speaker 2: I just had some botox in my forehead. And let
- 17:49Speaker 2: me tell you, I was watching our videos from not
- 17:54Speaker 2: this last recording, but the recording earlier, and I was
- 17:57Speaker 2: like wrinkling my forehead and I seen lines in it,
- 17:59Speaker 2: and I said.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Both of us, bitch because I definitely had my boltox
- 18:02Speaker 1: after that first series of videos.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not all just meling it. It's also
- 18:09Speaker 2: a little bit of nip tut facial structure. So we
- 18:15Speaker 2: do a little something once you get to a certain
- 18:18Speaker 2: level of maturity and bag.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Because it costs money for upkeep, you know what I'm saying.
- 18:26Speaker 1: So that's really what this episode is about, Like how
- 18:28Speaker 1: much money are we really spending on making sure this
- 18:32Speaker 1: black doesn't crack? Right? I think there are a lot
- 18:34Speaker 1: of black women who really don't get bulltox and stuff
- 18:36Speaker 1: like that.
- 18:37Speaker 2: Yeah, and don't need it either. Mm hm.
- 18:40Speaker 1: And I'm probably like averaging once a year. I've only
- 18:43Speaker 1: had it three times, and actually the first time is shit.
- 18:45Speaker 1: I did that Dice sports shit that did not work,
- 18:47Speaker 1: and it gave me a lazy eye, so I never
- 18:50Speaker 1: did that shit again. So it's only my second time
- 18:53Speaker 1: getting boltox. I find a really really, really really good
- 18:56Speaker 1: girl to do it. But yeah, for that your forehead
- 19:00Speaker 1: and this little mad dog fat piece right here, like
- 19:03Speaker 1: I need to go back, and that's how it happens,
- 19:06Speaker 1: I know, but seeing I shouldn't be able to scratch
- 19:09Speaker 1: my face. I'm already able to scratch my face and
- 19:11Speaker 1: now I need to go again.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Well, no, you don't want it so tight that you
- 19:15Speaker 2: can't you don't have no facial expressions. Yeah, but I
- 19:19Speaker 2: don't want to doing that. That's why y'all should keep
- 19:22Speaker 2: doing it. And then want to talk about why I
- 19:24Speaker 2: keep doing that because you keep doing that.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Yeah, but I can't help it because I naturally, like
- 19:29Speaker 1: when I smile and laugh and stuff, I ball my
- 19:32Speaker 1: whole face up. So I need the botox to like
- 19:36Speaker 1: keep my forehead stiff.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Yeah, so how much is that?
- 19:40Speaker 3: Like?
- 19:40Speaker 2: Every time you go the person?
- 19:44Speaker 1: This is actually the cheapest I've ever spent, and probably
- 19:46Speaker 1: the most units I've ever gotten. It was like three
- 19:48Speaker 1: point fifty.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Oh that wasn't mad, not at all. I'll go get
- 19:52Speaker 2: a whole facial balancing, so I'll get that right. So
- 19:57Speaker 2: I have, y'all, I have a receding chin. I think
- 20:01Speaker 2: that's from my I just found out that I'm eleven
- 20:04Speaker 2: percent Scottish, so I think that's from my Scottish side,
- 20:08Speaker 2: because I see it more common in white people where
- 20:11Speaker 2: the chin it doesn't line up with the face, it
- 20:14Speaker 2: goes back a little bit. So I get chin filler
- 20:18Speaker 2: to like make it like balance. So between the chin
- 20:22Speaker 2: filler the botox in my forehead, i'd be spending like
- 20:28Speaker 2: a stack at how often I don't go as often.
- 20:35Speaker 2: I might go like once a year or two, because
- 20:38Speaker 2: I really don't have a thousand dollars twice a year
- 20:40Speaker 2: to be given. I don't think I got a bad face,
- 20:42Speaker 2: it'll be okay. But once I start saying like a
- 20:45Speaker 2: little like but y'all, I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna
- 20:49Speaker 2: be honest. I'm getting chin lightpo in October.
- 20:55Speaker 1: So and what does that consist of? Are you gonna
- 20:57Speaker 1: have like one of those things wrapped around your face?
- 20:59Speaker 2: Yep?
- 21:00Speaker 1: Is it not chin light?
- 21:01Speaker 2: Or it's like this this part underneath the chin because
- 21:05Speaker 2: that second chin, it don't matter how much weight I
- 21:07Speaker 2: lose how much it has to do with like just
- 21:10Speaker 2: I think, honestly getting older elasticity. Yeah, so I'm getting
- 21:15Speaker 2: my chin turkey neck. Yeah, I'm getting my turkey neck.
- 21:18Speaker 2: I don't want it no more. And I'm tired of
- 21:20Speaker 2: looking at it. And we do our when we do
- 21:22Speaker 2: our videos, I can't even hear what we're saying because
- 21:25Speaker 2: I'm staring at that second chin so hard, like I can't.
- 21:28Speaker 1: I hate it so hard on ourselves, man, So I'm
- 21:33Speaker 1: doing that. So black dude, crack it, do fall it,
- 21:36Speaker 1: just don't fall as fast as others.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Now, you know who don't be cracking either. The Asian girlies.
- 21:45Speaker 1: They have that age that Asian Cosmetics is like right,
- 21:49Speaker 1: like the that stuff is really really good. I use
- 21:51Speaker 1: a line, God damn, I forgot the name of it,
- 21:56Speaker 1: but I buy it and boke every Thanksgiving on Black Friday.
- 21:59Speaker 1: But I use some of their some of their products,
- 22:02Speaker 1: like the snail sermonss uh yeah, yeah.
- 22:06Speaker 2: I like that too. And then another thing I have
- 22:09Speaker 2: going on. I have like when I was a teenager,
- 22:13Speaker 2: I never went through like the acne puberty stage neither
- 22:17Speaker 2: never had a single ZiT my whole life until I
- 22:20Speaker 2: got older up in like, I ain't gonna tell you
- 22:25Speaker 2: how I am, but up in there. Once I started
- 22:28Speaker 2: getting up in there, I started developing adult acne, but
- 22:31Speaker 2: just on my jaw line.
- 22:32Speaker 1: On the chin. That's me running jaw line. I had
- 22:35Speaker 1: gotten you remember those pictures that I sent you? How
- 22:37Speaker 1: I got that? And this is why I don't do
- 22:39Speaker 1: a whole lot of nothing right. And it takes me
- 22:43Speaker 1: a long time to even be like, get the must
- 22:45Speaker 1: up the nerve to even go get a botox or
- 22:48Speaker 1: something like that, because I have very bad luck when
- 22:51Speaker 1: it comes to fucking with my body. I got a
- 22:55Speaker 1: chemical peel ones and I swear to god, I had
- 22:58Speaker 1: a fucking first degree burn.
- 23:01Speaker 2: I wish I.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Heard whichever is the highest.
- 23:04Speaker 2: She sent me the pictures of her her jaw, and
- 23:08Speaker 2: it was white raw meat. I'm talking about white raw meat.
- 23:15Speaker 2: I could not believe my eyes. And it was like
- 23:17Speaker 2: black like burn. It looked like burnt skin, like straight up.
- 23:22Speaker 1: It was and essentially it burnt like I don't know,
- 23:24Speaker 1: I hope that's not what it's supposed to look like.
- 23:26Speaker 1: I don't know how people go get their whole face
- 23:28Speaker 1: done with a chemical peel but maybe this person did
- 23:31Speaker 1: burn me, but thank god, right my body was able
- 23:35Speaker 1: to heal and regenerate new skin because I do have
- 23:37Speaker 1: like light scarring like right here, but you can't see
- 23:40Speaker 1: it because it's you know, underneath.
- 23:42Speaker 2: But I'm seeing like now, I'm seeing chemical pills that
- 23:46Speaker 2: are like that, that are like they be like they
- 23:49Speaker 2: whole face come off and like like a hard and
- 23:54Speaker 2: it's i mean mhmm, like a scab. Yeah, like a
- 23:59Speaker 2: big assa coming off. And then when the skin heels,
- 24:02Speaker 2: it looks amazing. But you just got to go through this.
- 24:05Speaker 2: I mean, if you ladies want to do that dude
- 24:06Speaker 2: around Halloween, so you fit in, because baby, that ship
- 24:09Speaker 2: looks crazy. That's really vasive.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Yeah it's cray z mmm. But so's it's being pretty
- 24:22Speaker 1: making us broke, you know what I'm saying, Like, especially
- 24:24Speaker 1: with the social media area and people who are actually
- 24:27Speaker 1: trying to look like they're the filters. You know, to
- 24:30Speaker 1: what ends are people spending to look perfect online?
- 24:37Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing with these filters. You ain't got
- 24:39Speaker 2: to spend no money. At this point, you ain't got
- 24:42Speaker 2: to spend no money. You just ain't gonna look like
- 24:44Speaker 2: you're filtered in real life, you know, that's so you
- 24:48Speaker 2: don't have China. Yeah, but people are trying to do that.
- 24:52Speaker 2: That ship gets it very expensive, even if it when
- 24:56Speaker 2: it comes down to like just skincare products, not like
- 25:00Speaker 2: actual procedures, but like their products are high too. Exactly,
- 25:05Speaker 2: I'll be going to Trader Joe's and getting their skincare shit.
- 25:08Speaker 1: I like their You think is it organic?
- 25:10Speaker 2: Mm hmm, it's stuff. I like their stuff. So I
- 25:14Speaker 2: go get their their toner. I get their jail face
- 25:19Speaker 2: moisturizer and a face wash right out of Trader Joe's,
- 25:23Speaker 2: some nacho, some salsa, and some skincare right out of
- 25:26Speaker 2: Trader Joe's.
- 25:27Speaker 1: So aside from like cosmetic type products, like tell me
- 25:31Speaker 1: about the time you like actually like splurreged super splurged
- 25:36Speaker 1: on an outfit or sounding like that for an event,
- 25:39Speaker 1: And how much did you spend oko fat shoes now
- 25:42Speaker 1: all the things.
- 25:45Speaker 2: I this was many many many years ago, so I
- 25:48Speaker 2: didn't even have the money to be spending. But I
- 25:52Speaker 2: was going to Miami. I mean I was in my
- 25:54Speaker 2: like twenties at this time, y'all. I was going to
- 25:58Speaker 2: Miami and I want and we were going to live.
- 26:01Speaker 2: And I was like, I gotta be a Babbage when
- 26:02Speaker 2: I'm going to live. So I it was this website
- 26:06Speaker 2: where you could rent designer clothes.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Wrong, rent the one runway way yep.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Rent the runway, and I got these cute dress. I
- 26:16Speaker 2: can't remember who the designer was, but I probably spent
- 26:19Speaker 2: like two hundred dollars to rent it. But then I
- 26:23Speaker 2: got in a fight in the club and they ripped
- 26:27Speaker 2: all the sequence off my dress, so I couldn't return
- 26:32Speaker 2: it like that. I had to pay for the dress
- 26:34Speaker 2: and it was two thousand dollars. Two thousand dollars dress,
- 26:39Speaker 2: So I mean, I guess that's a splurge. I didn't
- 26:41Speaker 2: intend to splurge. Them bitches ripped me out my dress.
- 26:51Speaker 2: That was definitely a splurge on clothes. And then I
- 26:55Speaker 2: went to like in twenty sixteen, I went to Sonabella
- 27:01Speaker 2: to get my back fat removed. Don't go to Sonobella, y'all.
- 27:06Speaker 2: I can't unless you like really fat. It ain't for
- 27:10Speaker 2: you because I feel like my back I came out
- 27:13Speaker 2: with the same back I went in with.
- 27:17Speaker 1: I even well, one of my friends she went to
- 27:19Speaker 1: Sonabella and she is not super big either, but she
- 27:22Speaker 1: got a fat back like and when I tell you,
- 27:25Speaker 1: none of that shit went away exactly.
- 27:27Speaker 2: I don't know what they're doing. Like so when people
- 27:30Speaker 2: like do you have have you had plastic surgery? No? Right?
- 27:37Speaker 2: Or it didn't work because that looked the same fucking
- 27:39Speaker 2: way I did before came out.
- 27:42Speaker 1: So but does Sonobella like offer like non evasive lipol.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's not like yeah, because they don't put
- 27:50Speaker 2: you to sleep. It's kind of like freezing the fat
- 27:53Speaker 2: McDonald's of LiPo.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Huh is it like freezing the fat or what are
- 27:58Speaker 1: they doing?
- 27:59Speaker 2: No? I don't know what the fuck they doing. I
- 28:01Speaker 2: wish I would a little bit like more smart about
- 28:03Speaker 2: how it went about playing for surgery, because it was
- 28:07Speaker 2: a waste of money. They give you a bunch of
- 28:10Speaker 2: drugs that make you sleepy, and they put some numb
- 28:14Speaker 2: and agent inside your back and then they just like
- 28:18Speaker 2: I think that gave me a back massage, and then.
- 28:22Speaker 1: It was back there with one of the little dough
- 28:25Speaker 1: rollers just rolling your shit out.
- 28:29Speaker 2: And that was it. That's really what I think happened.
- 28:32Speaker 2: The drugs that give you make you kind of sleepy
- 28:35Speaker 2: and not like coherent for real, and I just really
- 28:38Speaker 2: think that that's what they did they just was that
- 28:40Speaker 2: they're playing on my back, rubbing it, smacking it, playing
- 28:43Speaker 2: on your top, and then that was it. What about you?
- 28:49Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever spent like an astronomical amount
- 28:52Speaker 1: of money. First of all, I feel like I can
- 28:54Speaker 1: make I'm gonna make the things look good no matter
- 28:57Speaker 1: what it is, right, So it's not not you can
- 29:00Speaker 1: some really nice pieces and not spend a whole bunch
- 29:03Speaker 1: of money. So I think probably the most, like maybe
- 29:06Speaker 1: on some shoes possibly, but like on just full a
- 29:11Speaker 1: thousand dollar max. If I got to really go to
- 29:13Speaker 1: an event or something like that, I'm probably not spending
- 29:16Speaker 1: over a thousand dollars like I'm You're gonna get a
- 29:18Speaker 1: good dress, might be three hundred and something dollars some shoes.
- 29:21Speaker 1: I'm not going to get my makeup done. I'm doing
- 29:24Speaker 1: that shit myself. I have followed Tam up multiple times.
- 29:28Speaker 2: You will though, I've seen you pay for makeup. Yeah.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Now I was about to say, like, yeah, I have
- 29:33Speaker 1: followed you up multiple times and paid for makeup, and
- 29:37Speaker 1: every time I'm like, I could have did this shit,
- 29:39Speaker 1: or this is too much shit. I can't wait to
- 29:43Speaker 1: wash my face. I don't like it. It's just too much,
- 29:45Speaker 1: and then you gotta wash off one hundred and fifty
- 29:47Speaker 1: dollars worth of product.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Let me tell you what time I got some biggest
- 29:50Speaker 2: utization on right, yep, last time I was in Atlanta,
- 29:55Speaker 2: I went and got my makeup done for I can't remember.
- 29:59Speaker 2: I think it was the No, I didn't do it
- 30:02Speaker 2: for the festival. I can't remember. But I could not
- 30:05Speaker 2: even pay for my service because I could not open
- 30:10Speaker 2: up my banking with my face.
- 30:13Speaker 1: I D no, you did you did get your makeup done?
- 30:16Speaker 1: Because remember I had to pay for it.
- 30:19Speaker 2: I could not get to my bank. It did not
- 30:26Speaker 2: recognize me. It kept saying, I do know that, ain't you? Bitch?
- 30:29Speaker 2: Who is this? And the first thing I told her
- 30:32Speaker 2: is like, I don't like a lot of makeup because
- 30:33Speaker 2: I want to look like myself.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Right, I not cast get ready?
- 30:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't even get into my bank.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Yeah, because the makeup girlies don't know how to do
- 30:46Speaker 1: a light beat. I don't think, like if you go
- 30:48Speaker 1: get makeup, they automatically assume, like even when you say
- 30:52Speaker 1: light beat, it's gonna be like face full of makeup,
- 30:57Speaker 1: like it's your wedding day or something. And even then,
- 31:01Speaker 1: I guess that's.
- 31:02Speaker 2: That people be going for because I remember one time
- 31:05Speaker 2: we went and I was like, gosh, this is a
- 31:07Speaker 2: lot of makeup. But by the time it's set, I
- 31:09Speaker 2: was like, Okay, this looks nice. You know, this does
- 31:11Speaker 2: look nice, but I just like my.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Side out that hmm, right out the chair, you'd be
- 31:19Speaker 1: looking like somebody else. But it does set, but it
- 31:21Speaker 1: takes like an hour for it to like look like
- 31:24Speaker 1: it's supposed to look right.
- 31:26Speaker 2: So I'm not a big makeup earlier like that. I
- 31:28Speaker 2: love makeup, but not just too much. Good grief and
- 31:34Speaker 2: that shit is so.
- 31:36Speaker 1: So what about the girls who get all the nails
- 31:38Speaker 1: that cry cause you get your nails done. I don't
- 31:40Speaker 1: even get my nails done. So how much y'all people
- 31:43Speaker 1: paying for like the bedazzle nails like a Cardi B nail.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Oh, I don't even know. I don't go that far.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Just give me some polish, that's all. I don't do
- 31:52Speaker 2: a whole bunch of designs and stuffs and stones and
- 31:54Speaker 2: shit because I don't have time for that order money.
- 31:57Speaker 2: I know they be paying like up words of almost
- 31:59Speaker 2: a hundred fifty hundred and seventy five dollars for they nails.
- 32:05Speaker 2: I'll be paying my twenty five dollars.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Huh, twenty five dollars was a full set back.
- 32:10Speaker 2: In the ready. No seventy dollars easy, easy.
- 32:15Speaker 1: You look what pedicure. Your pedicure is like forty dollars
- 32:19Speaker 1: now plus a tip? Fifty dollars plus a tip.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Yeah, plus more than that. My feet, my refeet, I
- 32:25Speaker 2: need more. I need the whole shebang.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Not buy refeet.
- 32:30Speaker 2: It's just the left foot, the right foot, normal, right
- 32:32Speaker 2: that left foot, Like I go to this girl that
- 32:36Speaker 2: ain't Tiffany the foot surgeon for my feet.
- 32:39Speaker 1: I need to serious shout out to Tiffany.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Shout out the Tiffany what she do?
- 32:48Speaker 1: So do we is this stuff?
- 32:49Speaker 2: Like?
- 32:50Speaker 1: Is it self care or self sabotage?
- 32:52Speaker 2: Like?
- 32:52Speaker 1: Are we doing too much? I know the men hate
- 32:54Speaker 1: the weave, right, I just be like, it's a whole disclaimer.
- 32:56Speaker 1: When I start talking to somebody, like, listen, you met
- 32:59Speaker 1: me with this weed. I always wear weave.
- 33:02Speaker 2: Don't kind of.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Harass me a year from now, Like, baby, when you're
- 33:08Speaker 1: gonna let me fuck you with your natural?
- 33:10Speaker 2: Never?
- 33:12Speaker 1: I mean you have fucked me with the natural, but
- 33:14Speaker 1: it's under a bonnet. Okay, do you let me see
- 33:17Speaker 1: your hair? He probably could have had a would have
- 33:22Speaker 1: had the opportunity to see it if he would have
- 33:24Speaker 1: just walked in the bathroom at some point. But no,
- 33:27Speaker 1: I'd be putting on a bonnet if I don't have
- 33:29Speaker 1: my way going. I don't just be walking around with
- 33:31Speaker 1: my fucking braids. Do you have hair pretty?
- 33:35Speaker 2: No?
- 33:35Speaker 1: I don't. It's just nothing though. It's not like my
- 33:38Speaker 1: hair is in style. You know, even if with natural
- 33:40Speaker 1: hair you can just you know, do two strand twists
- 33:43Speaker 1: or something like that to make it look cute. It's
- 33:45Speaker 1: fucking dry and breid it down. What am I showing?
- 33:49Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 33:50Speaker 1: So no, it's not insecurity. Maybe if I actually did
- 33:52Speaker 1: the hair, then it would be cool, but it's not
- 33:55Speaker 1: done like in nine times out of ten, Like these
- 33:58Speaker 1: braids underneath this fucking wig look crazy. Yeah, And I
- 34:01Speaker 1: feel like women need to keep something. I need to
- 34:04Speaker 1: keep something to myself, the illusion, right, you have to
- 34:08Speaker 1: style and experience.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Passing that out ahead?
- 34:14Speaker 1: Sorry what you say because it'd be hidden?
- 34:22Speaker 2: Go ahead? What were you saying?
- 34:25Speaker 1: Yeah, like you gotta keep something to yourself, you know,
- 34:27Speaker 1: Like I don't think that men should wash their women
- 34:30Speaker 1: get dressed. I don't think so. I don't think you
- 34:32Speaker 1: should see me putting my makeup. I want to doing
- 34:33Speaker 1: all the things, putting my magic together. I don't think
- 34:37Speaker 1: it's your business.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I don't do too much walking around
- 34:40Speaker 2: like naked. I stay covered up, like you only get
- 34:43Speaker 2: to really see me naked until it's until you get
- 34:46Speaker 2: to see me naked.
- 34:48Speaker 1: I'm a naked person. I'd be walking like I hate clothes.
- 34:51Speaker 1: As soon as I hit the door, I'm taking all
- 34:53Speaker 1: my clothes off. Can you just be walking around here
- 34:55Speaker 1: all the time, Yes, I do. I come from a
- 34:58Speaker 1: naked family. Like even the fun boys like niggas be naked.
- 35:02Speaker 2: I'd be naked, but when I'm with a man, I
- 35:04Speaker 2: be covered up because this is this is your price,
- 35:08Speaker 2: this is your surprise. You don't get to see it,
- 35:10Speaker 2: just all willy lilly.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Willy nilly. So I think it's I mean, I think
- 35:20Speaker 1: it's it's self love. I don't think it's you're sabotaging
- 35:23Speaker 1: in any type of way. I believe that you know,
- 35:26Speaker 1: we should do whatever makes us feel good. Right, So
- 35:30Speaker 1: if and and men should be okay with their woman
- 35:35Speaker 1: make them feel good, Yeah, Yeah, my ex for example,
- 35:38Speaker 1: he would always complain and then say he just wants
- 35:41Speaker 1: me to be comfortable. I am comfortable. I am not
- 35:45Speaker 1: the one complaining about the fucking weave. There's some ship
- 35:48Speaker 1: that you'd be doing. I could very well complain about
- 35:50Speaker 1: some things that you waste money on. I can complain
- 35:53Speaker 1: about like so you under the guys of control, right,
- 35:57Speaker 1: that's control, but under the guys of just wanted me
- 36:00Speaker 1: to be comfortable, you're really making me uncomfortable. And now
- 36:04Speaker 1: I got to have a whole argument with you about
- 36:06Speaker 1: fucking weave. The point the one time this nigga called
- 36:10Speaker 1: his mom, and his mom was like, you're asking the
- 36:13Speaker 1: wrong person. I wear wigs right, because essentially he was
- 36:19Speaker 1: trying to say I wasn't me. I wouldn't be me
- 36:23Speaker 1: without the weave. And yes, I am talking about the
- 36:25Speaker 1: nigga who cut my wig up one time, okay, because
- 36:28Speaker 1: he thought he was removing some swag from me, and
- 36:30Speaker 1: I just went and fucking sewed me up another one.
- 36:33Speaker 1: I got so much weave, I can open the shop
- 36:36Speaker 1: right now. But yeah, he thought he was like taking
- 36:41Speaker 1: some swag away. No, I'm still mean with it, and
- 36:44Speaker 1: I still treat you good with or without weaves. So
- 36:47Speaker 1: what are we talking about.
- 36:49Speaker 2: I don't like when niggas be like spray paint in
- 36:51Speaker 2: their beer. I don't like that. But if that makes
- 36:55Speaker 2: you feel good, then who am I to tell you
- 36:57Speaker 2: not to do that? You know, but maybe let me
- 37:02Speaker 2: paint like I will even do the color for you, baby,
- 37:04Speaker 2: don't put that like that hard line paint line. That's
- 37:09Speaker 2: what I don't like. I don't mind you coloring it.
- 37:11Speaker 2: That's fine, do that, But that hard paint line be
- 37:14Speaker 2: making me real upset.
- 37:17Speaker 1: Called anxiety a little bit mm hmm, break that anxiety
- 37:21Speaker 1: a little bit, break that line up the fuck. So
- 37:27Speaker 1: let's do like a little let's go over like a
- 37:29Speaker 1: budget of some sort, like how much people be spending,
- 37:32Speaker 1: like the high end, and maybe we could do like
- 37:35Speaker 1: a budget low wind to try to help some of
- 37:38Speaker 1: the listeners. And most of the most of our listeners
- 37:41Speaker 1: are younger women, right, And you don't.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Got to do much younger women. It's half and half.
- 37:48Speaker 2: It's women younger and in the middle. Right yeah probably
- 37:54Speaker 2: your age, Yeah, your age too.
- 38:05Speaker 1: So I just want to back it up a little bit,
- 38:06Speaker 1: right because I know I mentioned like, was it like
- 38:09Speaker 1: self love or are we self sabotaging spending all this
- 38:16Speaker 1: fucking money on things and stuff and keeping out with
- 38:19Speaker 1: the joneses and keeping out with the trends? What do
- 38:22Speaker 1: you think? Do you think it's self love?
- 38:24Speaker 2: It's a little bit of both, honestly, because when you
- 38:29Speaker 2: look good, you feel good. You know, absolutely, when you
- 38:32Speaker 2: got on some new shit, your hair is all leg
- 38:35Speaker 2: you feel nice, you feel good inside. I don't know
- 38:38Speaker 2: if our self worth is attached to our outer appearance,
- 38:44Speaker 2: but maybe so a little bit. So. I mean that's
- 38:48Speaker 2: self love to me. But at the same time, if
- 38:51Speaker 2: you eating ramen noodles to get your hair done, that's
- 38:57Speaker 2: not self love. You putting that portion into your body,
- 39:00Speaker 2: you know, and you.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Look like money.
- 39:03Speaker 2: You sacrifice in your health to look good. It's people
- 39:08Speaker 2: who don't have a side tooth, but hair is laid
- 39:12Speaker 2: like that.
- 39:15Speaker 1: I lean more towards I understand like it is kind
- 39:18Speaker 1: of both. But I think when I think about the
- 39:20Speaker 1: black community and our culture, it is self sabotage because
- 39:24Speaker 1: niggas will wear the money instead of actually having it.
- 39:28Speaker 1: You know, people will be spending a last damn dollar
- 39:32Speaker 1: on some shit and ain't paid a light bill. Your
- 39:35Speaker 1: lights off because we know black people are the number
- 39:38Speaker 1: one consumers around the world. Okay, we're gonna buy some shit.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Everybody markets to us. We move culture, we move style, fashion,
- 39:47Speaker 1: all that stuff absolutely so they expect us to buy. Meanwhile,
- 39:52Speaker 1: we put all our money out. We don't have much
- 39:54Speaker 1: coming in, right, And I know for a fact that
- 39:58Speaker 1: if a depression hits Mo, bitches is still going to
- 40:02Speaker 1: TAM's vanity they get their hair done right, it don't
- 40:05Speaker 1: even matter. So as a black woman, like the beauty
- 40:09Speaker 1: industry is the number one industry you should be in
- 40:11Speaker 1: because bitches don't have a dime left, but they're gonna
- 40:14Speaker 1: barter some Kucie or something to get there. So I
- 40:19Speaker 1: lean more towards it being a little bit self sabotaged.
- 40:22Speaker 1: I mean, like, I just feel like other races of
- 40:24Speaker 1: people can show up for real, like truly their true
- 40:27Speaker 1: authentic self and an example of this. And I hate
- 40:30Speaker 1: that my ex par I be listening to this shit
- 40:32Speaker 1: and be like bitch fucking But when I met him,
- 40:38Speaker 1: it would be like an equivalent in comparison to pictures
- 40:40Speaker 1: he would show me of him and how he had
- 40:42Speaker 1: like the gold teeth and all the things. It would
- 40:45Speaker 1: be like a a Gucci mane like three sixty right,
- 40:51Speaker 1: completely different person. And he was in the hood, hustling
- 40:55Speaker 1: in the streets like he had to. Always super smart though,
- 41:00Speaker 1: always an intellectual, but because of his environment, he couldn't
- 41:03Speaker 1: even show that part in him. This nigga liked to
- 41:06Speaker 1: make his own clothes. Like when I met him, he
- 41:09Speaker 1: had some crazy ass ban Dana shit on it, some
- 41:11Speaker 1: tank top he had sewed up hisself on the sewing machine,
- 41:14Speaker 1: Like that is the real hymn. Some shit he didn't
- 41:17Speaker 1: even have to go spend two three hundred dollars on,
- 41:20Speaker 1: Like that's really what he liked, but he was trying
- 41:22Speaker 1: to to he mastered it. Because of his environment, he
- 41:26Speaker 1: couldn't show how smart he was. He couln't show how
- 41:28Speaker 1: creative he was, you know, because we think everything is
- 41:31Speaker 1: whack and lame, like even like the glow up with
- 41:35Speaker 1: the white men when they get with black women, Like
- 41:37Speaker 1: the glow up is that that's a real thing. And
- 41:39Speaker 1: I don't know they got anything to do with clothes
- 41:41Speaker 1: or just the energy of us, right, it could be
- 41:43Speaker 1: both a little combination of both, but they look like
- 41:46Speaker 1: they spending more money on clothes once they get with
- 41:49Speaker 1: a black woman.
- 41:50Speaker 2: Right, But I think we culturally, not just black, but
- 41:55Speaker 2: even in Africa, like we've always been very aesthetic pleasing. Yeah,
- 42:01Speaker 2: like that's part of who we are, you know. I
- 42:05Speaker 2: went and did some research during a break, and I
- 42:08Speaker 2: found that the black in twenty twenty four, the black
- 42:12Speaker 2: consumers spent over nine point point four billion dollars on
- 42:18Speaker 2: beauty products, and it was expected ten point two billion
- 42:23Speaker 2: last year. I couldn't find last year's numbers, but in
- 42:27Speaker 2: two point three billion went to hair, cosmetic and nail
- 42:31Speaker 2: grooming one point nine billion, facial skincare one point one
- 42:36Speaker 2: billion dollars and in body one point two billion dollars,
- 42:40Speaker 2: in fragrance one point five billion dollars. And we are
- 42:44Speaker 2: the greatest spenders in the country, even though we make
- 42:49Speaker 2: up a fraction of it.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Right, So Bobo's always been lean, but we would stress
- 42:56Speaker 1: our parents out, not even realized they couldn't even afford
- 42:59Speaker 1: that bult that bullshit, right, stressing your parents out for
- 43:02Speaker 1: Jordan's and not my mama because she ain't give a fuck. Girl.
- 43:05Speaker 1: I ain't getting no name brad sneakers for real until
- 43:07Speaker 1: I started buying them in high school. I gets some
- 43:10Speaker 1: regulized nikes and that's it. But you know, and we
- 43:13Speaker 1: grew up in a house though, so her priorities was intact.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Bit motherfuckers was growing up in the hood, had all
- 43:19Speaker 1: of shit right, all the j's every time they came out.
- 43:23Speaker 2: But some people, in their defense, they feel like they're
- 43:27Speaker 2: never going to be able to have that stuff, like
- 43:29Speaker 2: the big home, the big cars. The greatest thing they
- 43:32Speaker 2: have is the outward appearance of their esthetic. So they're
- 43:37Speaker 2: gonna pour into that because the house seems just outside
- 43:40Speaker 2: of what they will ever be able to get. But
- 43:42Speaker 2: I can look good, you know, I can drive a
- 43:45Speaker 2: nice car, and I can look good every day, you know,
- 43:49Speaker 2: And that's probably as far as I can go.
- 43:52Speaker 1: But that's not true generally. Yeah, it's not true. But
- 43:55Speaker 1: I understand the limiting mindset, right, the lack of mentality.
- 43:59Speaker 1: And I think our generation millennials in particular, the way
- 44:04Speaker 1: we be sending these kids to school and to prom like,
- 44:07Speaker 1: how are they going to keep up with that as adults?
- 44:10Speaker 1: Like what the fuck was thinking about getting a Gucci
- 44:12Speaker 1: bag in high school?
- 44:14Speaker 2: Right? Like?
- 44:15Speaker 1: These little kids want like real bags and parents are
- 44:19Speaker 1: affording these things. I don't know where they getting the
- 44:21Speaker 1: money from is it a real bag, is a canal street?
- 44:24Speaker 1: But I got a homegirl who daughter got like a
- 44:28Speaker 1: little Gucci bag to start school and goddamn elementary school.
- 44:34Speaker 1: What is happening. I know, you get some little hand
- 44:38Speaker 1: me down, you get my little hand me down shit.
- 44:40Speaker 1: But no, I'm not going to buy your brand new
- 44:42Speaker 1: anything for that type of money. It just doesn't make
- 44:45Speaker 1: sense to me.
- 44:48Speaker 2: I just don't have it because I would do it.
- 44:49Speaker 2: I know I would do it, you would do it.
- 44:52Speaker 1: I mean, okay, I took I.
- 44:55Speaker 2: Had this diamond bracelet that this guy brought me and
- 44:58Speaker 2: it was expensive bracelet, but needed to get some links
- 45:00Speaker 2: taken out because it didn't fit my wrists and tall.
- 45:03Speaker 2: I went to put them diamonds in my god baby ear, Okay,
- 45:07Speaker 2: and I do it, And I know it was expensive.
- 45:11Speaker 2: So I know that I'm the type that will trick
- 45:14Speaker 2: off on some kids. I ain't gonna lie. I will Yeah, I'm.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Not buying no Gucci bags and shit for for kids
- 45:20Speaker 1: to lose kids. I mean, now, this little girl who
- 45:22Speaker 1: I'm talking about, like she's at the age now where
- 45:25Speaker 1: like she likes fashion. You know, she's maybe fifth grade
- 45:29Speaker 1: or something like that. So if that's what they're into
- 45:32Speaker 1: and they know exactly what it is, like you ask
- 45:34Speaker 1: them what they want for Christmas and that's the actual
- 45:36Speaker 1: thing on their list, a Gucci bag.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Right. It's probably because of their parents. You know their
- 45:41Speaker 2: mom is into that kind of thing. But what I
- 45:44Speaker 2: don't like is when parents buy kids expensive stuff and
- 45:48Speaker 2: then get mad at them for ruining it. Like, man,
- 45:51Speaker 2: if you're willing to pay for this stuff, remember your
- 45:54Speaker 2: kids still gets to be a kid. You know.
- 45:57Speaker 1: I send this girl whipping her baby.
- 45:59Speaker 2: Because he was squiffing up his shoes. He is three
- 46:03Speaker 2: years Oh, if you don't want exactly some shoes, get
- 46:06Speaker 2: him some little pokemons or something, you know like that,
- 46:12Speaker 2: if it matters that much, it's too small to be
- 46:14Speaker 2: especially spanking him for that.
- 46:17Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, kids are gonna be kids. That's why you
- 46:19Speaker 1: should buy them bullshit. Okay, until they actually know what
- 46:22Speaker 1: it is and then they understand the value of things
- 46:24Speaker 1: and they can take care of it. But you can't
- 46:27Speaker 1: expect a kid to walk on water because that's your
- 46:30Speaker 1: big grown ass dude, because you like cherish these sneakers
- 46:33Speaker 1: and these things. You know what I'm saying. Over a
- 46:36Speaker 1: nice home, right, you know what I'm saying.
- 46:41Speaker 2: And then people really don't be I mean, you get
- 46:44Speaker 2: that stuff and they feel good for a while, and
- 46:45Speaker 2: then you be fucking it. My best friend got a
- 46:48Speaker 2: Burken for her birthday last year, that expensive bag, and
- 46:52Speaker 2: it was a dirty diaper in there.
- 46:53Speaker 1: The other day, I was like, oh my god, because
- 47:00Speaker 1: it's just a bag. Yeah, at that point, like it's
- 47:03Speaker 1: just I got it out.
- 47:08Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, some snacks down in there,
- 47:11Speaker 2: like children's gonna be But you know, it's just a
- 47:14Speaker 2: bag at the end of the day.
- 47:15Speaker 1: So shit, it's a diaper bag. And them bags ain't
- 47:20Speaker 1: even that damn Q. It's so many more like nicer,
- 47:25Speaker 1: like lower end. I don't even want to call it
- 47:27Speaker 1: lower end, because bitch, what what what makes something designer?
- 47:31Speaker 2: It's not what I'm saying. It's about the mental status
- 47:33Speaker 2: that we give these things, not the actual thing most
- 47:36Speaker 2: of the time.
- 47:37Speaker 1: Not the actual value of it, right, because it don't
- 47:40Speaker 1: cost nothing to make a lot of this shit.
- 47:42Speaker 2: I was looking at somebody posted yesterday are the cars
- 47:44Speaker 2: that we used to be driving in the earth like
- 47:47Speaker 2: not us guys, And they had, like you remember the cars,
- 47:50Speaker 2: the fruit loops, the Cinnamon House, Crush the eminem like
- 47:55Speaker 2: they will put all these brands on their cars and
- 47:57Speaker 2: design the car around that brand. That shit was hideous.
- 48:02Speaker 1: I was like, you, opinion, did you get a check
- 48:04Speaker 1: from it?
- 48:05Speaker 2: No, nobody, none of those They got all that free
- 48:07Speaker 2: advertisement from your stupid ass. But who decided that that
- 48:10Speaker 2: was the shit? Somebody decided that was a look, and
- 48:13Speaker 2: then the mental consciousness around it decided that that was
- 48:16Speaker 2: what you needed to do to have a nice country
- 48:19Speaker 2: ass car, and then that's what you did.
- 48:22Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I don't know, man. I think we,
- 48:27Speaker 1: I think black people as a whole, we got to
- 48:29Speaker 1: like re calibrate. And it's yeah, because I just I
- 48:35Speaker 1: prefer a nice home over stuff, you.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.
- 48:39Speaker 1: Like right now, I want a brand new car, and
- 48:41Speaker 1: I could go get one, but I do not want
- 48:44Speaker 1: a car payment, Like right now, the interest rates on
- 48:48Speaker 1: the loans, the insurance I my car, y'all, Why the
- 48:52Speaker 1: fuck am I paying like two hundred and fifty dollars
- 48:54Speaker 1: a month for car insurance? I don't even understand it.
- 48:56Speaker 1: You'll have a brand new car, you know what I'm saying.
- 48:59Speaker 1: So I even if I I want to be if
- 49:02Speaker 1: I can't buy a cash I don't want it, so
- 49:04Speaker 1: I keep it. I feel like it's gonna be some
- 49:06Speaker 1: old ass lady, right, some old ass couple go and
- 49:09Speaker 1: drop day fucking brand new Mercedes AMG sixty three on
- 49:16Speaker 1: a car, guru, and it's gonna be for me for
- 49:19Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars, and I'm gonna go slap them
- 49:21Speaker 1: in the face with a bag and drive off in
- 49:23Speaker 1: the car. That's what I just think is going to
- 49:25Speaker 1: happen for me, because that's what the fuck is going
- 49:27Speaker 1: to have to happen, because I do not believe in
- 49:30Speaker 1: paying fifteen a month for a car and insurance. That's
- 49:34Speaker 1: crazy to me.
- 49:35Speaker 2: I don't pay that.
- 49:36Speaker 1: I'll buy a cash car forever.
- 49:38Speaker 2: I do pay it a lot, but not that much,
- 49:41Speaker 2: not that a.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Lot of people for what I want, You're gonna pay
- 49:44Speaker 1: by two thousand dollars a month for it, And that's like,
- 49:47Speaker 1: that's nuts.
- 49:48Speaker 2: No, I'm not playing nuts, not one. I got to
- 49:51Speaker 2: do everything by myself. If I lived in a dual
- 49:53Speaker 2: income house, I still wouldn't want to pay two thousand dollars.
- 49:57Speaker 1: Of me in the car, But because I would be
- 49:59Speaker 1: thinking about what else I I can do with that money,
- 50:00Speaker 1: Like that's vacation, you know what I'm saying.
- 50:03Speaker 2: Well, maybe it's because we don't have a lot of money. People.
- 50:05Speaker 2: It's probably somebody listening to us, Like two thousand dollars
- 50:10Speaker 2: a month, that's nothing. These girls are poor.
- 50:13Speaker 1: You know, hey, look more power to you, because even
- 50:17Speaker 1: when I get this super duper bag, I still am not.
- 50:20Speaker 1: I don't like paying a lot to live. And what
- 50:23Speaker 1: people need to realize is that rich people really don't
- 50:25Speaker 1: spend money. Okay, they get a lot of free shit.
- 50:28Speaker 1: Yeah they do, especially if you're an influencer online, like
- 50:32Speaker 1: you will get all your free clothes. They don't spend money.
- 50:34Speaker 1: We are the consumers. The middle class and below are
- 50:39Speaker 1: really the people who are consuming the most is not
- 50:42Speaker 1: rich people. And I even hate to see like people
- 50:45Speaker 1: always like to compare like how flashy people be in
- 50:49Speaker 1: comparison to how flashy like a billionaire these billionaires be
- 50:53Speaker 1: having on three thousand dollars T shirts. Right, it's because
- 50:56Speaker 1: it doesn't have a label on it doesn't mean it's
- 50:59Speaker 1: not cost a lot, right. You see, Black people could
- 51:02Speaker 1: tend to be labor labor label wars sometimes, right, But
- 51:08Speaker 1: white folks they have they little things that cost a
- 51:11Speaker 1: lot of money that may just not have a label
- 51:13Speaker 1: on it.
- 51:14Speaker 2: I don't remember. Many many many years ago, o Cho
- 51:16Speaker 2: Sinko said to me, like, I get used the diamonds
- 51:18Speaker 2: out of Claires. Oh, let me tell you that part
- 51:20Speaker 2: out this guy said to me, because and I was
- 51:24Speaker 2: like Claire's. He's like mine from Claire's. He's like, because
- 51:27Speaker 2: people are gonna think they real because I'm me.
- 51:30Speaker 1: Exactly exactly exactly. Yeah, So when your reputation precedes you,
- 51:36Speaker 1: you can pull up with some fake shit on it.
- 51:38Speaker 1: Ain't nobody gonna question it, right.
- 51:41Speaker 2: But that ain't gonna work for me. Baby, These gonna
- 51:43Speaker 2: look like Claire's unless you upgrade my whole life. Now
- 51:48Speaker 2: just another bitch with Claire earing zone. Please stop?
- 51:51Speaker 1: Where was this? I think this is that du ball day.
- 51:54Speaker 1: The bitches is walking around with the diamond tester on.
- 51:57Speaker 1: These dudes man testing niggas gold teeth. They was testing
- 52:02Speaker 1: their chains and shit. I'm like, why why black people
- 52:05Speaker 1: got to embarrass each other like that?
- 52:06Speaker 2: Right?
- 52:08Speaker 1: Like it looks nice, So what if it's really fake?
- 52:10Speaker 1: It looks nice, right, move around, like just be so
- 52:15Speaker 1: hard on each other when it comes to aesthetics.
- 52:18Speaker 2: Asthetics, yeah, very hard. I was watching this video today.
- 52:25Speaker 2: It was Nelly for Toto and she's gotten older and
- 52:29Speaker 2: she's put on some weight, you know, and there were
- 52:32Speaker 2: nick and a sick yeah she thicks, And it was
- 52:36Speaker 2: men in the comments like just tearing her up and
- 52:40Speaker 2: like just saying all the nastiest, meanest shit about her body.
- 52:44Speaker 2: And then when you would go to their page, I
- 52:46Speaker 2: would just I just took about fifteen minutes out of
- 52:49Speaker 2: my life to read them down, like read.
- 52:52Speaker 1: Them you're good for that shit, that shit messing.
- 52:56Speaker 2: Ooh ooh. That makes me so angry because how dare
- 52:59Speaker 2: you over there with dirty fingernails, balding head, fucking stomach
- 53:04Speaker 2: hanging over your pants, cracks showing uh, dusty rusty ass
- 53:10Speaker 2: got the nerve to talk about this woman because she
- 53:14Speaker 2: put on way and look at you the fuck. That
- 53:18Speaker 2: shit pissed me so bad. And I will go and
- 53:20Speaker 2: look at your pictures and then read you down because
- 53:23Speaker 2: you deserve it.
- 53:28Speaker 1: That's just like recently Charlamagne on Brian Idiots, they were
- 53:33Speaker 1: talking about what's uh, what's Monica's ex husband name? The
- 53:38Speaker 1: basketball player girl?
- 53:39Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't be keeping up with the
- 53:41Speaker 2: people marriage. Right.
- 53:42Speaker 1: So recently he was on not he wasn't on, but
- 53:46Speaker 1: they had a clip he was recently on somebody's podcast
- 53:49Speaker 1: and he basically was saying, like, you need to get
- 53:51Speaker 1: you a man need to get paw peers. Yeah, said
- 53:57Speaker 1: that men need to men need to get them like
- 53:59Speaker 1: a strong five six to seven. Don't be getting these nines,
- 54:02Speaker 1: eight nines and tens because you know, basically the eight
- 54:05Speaker 1: nines and tens know they're worth and attacks or right,
- 54:09Speaker 1: So get you a strong five six seven who want
- 54:11Speaker 1: to put some elbow, grease and muscle in there with you?
- 54:14Speaker 1: Some bullshit? Basically, y'all want somebody that y'all can tower over, right,
- 54:19Speaker 1: y'all want a bitch with self esteem issues and all
- 54:22Speaker 1: these things, right. And I commented on that post and
- 54:25Speaker 1: I said, you know, all I said was men are
- 54:27Speaker 1: way more shallow than women. That's all I said. So
- 54:33Speaker 1: of course you're want to get the attacks and it's
- 54:35Speaker 1: just the truth because men are way more they're visual creatures, right,
- 54:39Speaker 1: So a three and if we're going to put people
- 54:43Speaker 1: on the scale, which I don't like doing shit like
- 54:45Speaker 1: that because you know it's beauty is in the eye
- 54:47Speaker 1: of the of the beholder, right, So if a man
- 54:50Speaker 1: is a three, he still thinks he deserves a ten.
- 54:53Speaker 1: So that's why you see these threes commenting on Nelly's
- 54:58Speaker 1: for tato because in their mind they still should have
- 55:01Speaker 1: access to smash on the eight nines and tens. How
- 55:05Speaker 1: dare you not give me no pussy? And that's mental,
- 55:09Speaker 1: that is crazy. So women, we find men attractive for
- 55:12Speaker 1: different reasons outside of just aesthetics. For men, it's straight
- 55:16Speaker 1: up how you look right, And a lot of men
- 55:20Speaker 1: are with women that they don't find aesthetically a please
- 55:23Speaker 1: and they really don't even like you. They really think
- 55:26Speaker 1: that they're supposed to have somebody else. Their their finances
- 55:29Speaker 1: probably just don't afford them to get the woman they
- 55:32Speaker 1: think they're supposed to have. But even if you get
- 55:34Speaker 1: the money, sir, you're probably still going to be lean.
- 55:37Speaker 1: I remembers that part. I remember this guy saying. We
- 55:39Speaker 1: were all sitting around a table in a bar talking
- 55:43Speaker 1: and he said he compared his wife to a good Honda.
- 55:47Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you said that.
- 55:49Speaker 2: I'll never forget that shit. I will never. I was appalled.
- 55:54Speaker 2: And was she there table? I think she went to
- 55:58Speaker 2: the bar to get another round or something like that.
- 56:01Speaker 1: That's fucked up right there. Why are you a woman
- 56:02Speaker 1: going to get the drinks right? Well, I think we
- 56:04Speaker 1: all took turns getting rounds it with. I'm like, no,
- 56:07Speaker 1: big dem, I don't know him saying some shit like that,
- 56:10Speaker 1: but I feel like he really be mistreating her.
- 56:13Speaker 2: Oh whether or not they divorced eventually, but good, I
- 56:17Speaker 2: couldn't believe that, Like, please, God, don't ever send me
- 56:20Speaker 2: in love like that where the man considers me a
- 56:23Speaker 2: reliable Honda Cord and nothing's wrong with my Honda Cord. Girl,
- 56:27Speaker 2: is if you're driving the Honda, I want you to
- 56:28Speaker 2: hear this to think your car is less than because
- 56:30Speaker 2: it is not. They are nice cars, but if you're
- 56:34Speaker 2: using it as a comparison to what you your mate,
- 56:38Speaker 2: it just seems like insulting very much.
- 56:41Speaker 1: So, yes, a reliable Honda. That means you can dry
- 56:46Speaker 1: that motherfucker what Tuna say, Treatah said, we treating niggas
- 56:50Speaker 1: like rental cars, dogging them out with no dog gas.
- 56:52Speaker 1: Nothing you could talk about. So he just he just
- 56:55Speaker 1: gonna run through his fucking wife and she try just
- 56:58Speaker 1: be there, still working, because you know, you can put
- 57:00Speaker 1: about two hundred thousand miles on a Honda.
- 57:02Speaker 2: Right, the good card. I mean, they're good, reliable.
- 57:07Speaker 1: Good bitch ladies. Don't let don't let these dudes trick
- 57:11Speaker 1: you like that man, like don't listen, No, okay, hold on,
- 57:19Speaker 1: I want to play a quick game, right quick though,
- 57:21Speaker 1: sh you know, whenever we record again, like visuals. I
- 57:26Speaker 1: got a little website. I want you to take this
- 57:28Speaker 1: little test on. Were gonna both take the test. I
- 57:31Speaker 1: won't tell you exactly what it's along the lines of this,
- 57:34Speaker 1: right or it's like how delusion are women? Really? It's
- 57:39Speaker 1: but would you spend or save?
- 57:43Speaker 2: Game?
- 57:44Speaker 1: Basically? So are you going to spend nine hundred dollars
- 57:48Speaker 1: on a designer purse or three months worth their groceries?
- 57:54Speaker 1: I don't want to choose. If I gotta choose, I
- 57:56Speaker 1: can't do this, Like why we gotta choose?
- 57:59Speaker 2: That's why I'm I'm saying, like what it depends on
- 58:01Speaker 2: what's going on in my life? You know, Like.
- 58:04Speaker 1: Because grandmama, my grandmama, my grandmama sick.
- 58:09Speaker 2: Right, it's grandma sick and she needs some money because
- 58:13Speaker 2: I want a bag and I want food? Like why
- 58:14Speaker 2: I got to choose? Right?
- 58:18Speaker 1: But it's online.
- 58:20Speaker 2: If I don't have no food, obviously I'm gonna get food.
- 58:23Speaker 1: You know that's not obvious though, because it's a lot
- 58:26Speaker 1: of people if they got some shit to do, they
- 58:28Speaker 1: might fuck around, don't eat for the week to look
- 58:30Speaker 1: like somebody on the weekend.
- 58:32Speaker 2: Right and say I'm fasting, bitch, you're broke.
- 58:39Speaker 1: Three hundred dollars sneakers versus emergency savings fund.
- 58:45Speaker 2: If I don't have any emergency savings, then I'm gonna
- 58:47Speaker 2: put the money in the fun But if I got something,
- 58:50Speaker 2: I'm getting me some shoes. I need some.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Shoes, right. I won't say this is really for us,
- 58:55Speaker 1: because I think we might be a little bit more.
- 58:59Speaker 2: We're older.
- 59:00Speaker 1: Yeah, like, because did you didn't have health care?
- 59:05Speaker 2: Right now, I'm gonna eat.
- 59:10Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty dollars on lashes versus gas for
- 59:13Speaker 1: the month.
- 59:15Speaker 2: I listen, I don't believe in paying for lashes. I
- 59:17Speaker 2: done have so many bad lash experiences. Look as stupid
- 59:20Speaker 2: as fucking can't get that ship off my face because
- 59:23Speaker 2: I got really curly lashes. And I tell that girl,
- 59:26Speaker 2: please don't put a curly lash on because it'll just
- 59:28Speaker 2: roll back into my eye and you your eyes closed
- 59:32Speaker 2: so you can't see what the fuck is happening. So
- 59:35Speaker 2: when I opened my eyes and I looked in that
- 59:37Speaker 2: fucking mirror and cup care on my face, look at
- 59:41Speaker 2: God damn stupid, and then I had to ground immediately
- 59:45Speaker 2: after he was looking at me stupid, I was looking
- 59:47Speaker 2: at him stupid. I was like, I'm not paying for this.
- 59:51Speaker 2: I's looking though, So I'm gonna get the gas every time,
- 59:54Speaker 2: and I'm gonna put on a stripe the clusters that
- 59:56Speaker 2: go underneath. They're cheaper and they look just as good.
- 59:59Speaker 2: So there, mm.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: I like, like, I got a really good like list
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: of good lashes from Amazon, like somebody keeping rotation heavily
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: that looked like, you know, they look good like individuals. Yeah,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: it looks like men clashes. So I don't know, but
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: there's nothing like you just always look done with a
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: lash on, though, there's something about just having that last
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning. But then another thing
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: is I always feel like I cannot wash my face
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: good with them lashes on. Yeah, because you're gonna wash
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: them off, you.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Gotta wash around them. And I just like going like
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: this is you know, just like scrubbing my face and
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: you can't do that with the lash. So what's next, bitch,
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: because I'm gonna go with the gas.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: That was the last so basic bullshit, Like why anybody
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: would like buy some shit instead of eating. I don't know.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't know.
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: And you looked at that game and thought it was
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: fun because.
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: But there's some people listening right now who not even
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: listening right now, this is in my life. I begin
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: text messages I don't know, just because I don't have kids.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: People think I got all this excess money, and I'm
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: here to tell y'all ps a, I do not. Okay, there,
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: I like spending money on house shit on me first
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: of all, on me, oh me, Yeah. So now I
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: get these text messages for like real money, and I'm like,
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: what what about me? Like what am I showing anybody
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: to make them think that I can just give this
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: out this month and not have to worry about it?
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah. I don't like people who you see
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: them living in excess and then asking to borrow shit.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: That's my exactly. It's like, oh, using me to supplicate supplement.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: They want to borrow my money to do the ship
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: you should have done with yours that I don't like.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what be happening because you see how
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: they be moving and then argument.
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Like they very very flashy, and then one of their
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: parents died and then they made a go fund me
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: to pay for it. And I'm like, really, because y'all
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: the way y'all live and buy expensive things and clothes
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: and designer everything, and all these lavish vacations and now
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: y'all can't afford to bury your parent is crazy.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Nobody had life insurance.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: Right, Like, it's weird. You got to tell someone in
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: Bags Beach because I don't know what to tell.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: And that's the thing in the black community, like we
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: buying all the stuff and don't have life insurance on it, right,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like you can get a
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: real cheap policy on a young, healthy person, right, Ladies,
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: you got baby daddies, put some life insurance on them, niggas.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: At least you get something in death.
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: Right and something don't get nothing in life.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: Hopefully it ain't soon and early in his life, but
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: at some point you're going to get paid back for
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: the heartache.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: Right, So okay, you got anything else to add? Because
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: I got a dumbitch story.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: No, no, that's it, and I want I did want
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: to go through like a little budget thing.
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: But yeah, well go ahead, because that's probably the best
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: information that they would get from this today.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: It is not really even a budget for real. It's like,
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: I don't know, is this time that you be spending
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: on shit? Wag install two hundred and fifty.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: I feel like this morning, Oh no, you just gonna
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: talk about how much bitch is spending though. I'm about
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: to do the dumb dist story. They know how, you know,
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: they fucking up, Bunny up.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: We gotta tell them like before, like before we get
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: into the dumbest story. Y'all just noticed that our whole ship,
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: the whole economy is about to change. You better start
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: saving it money. Yeah, that that is really the gist
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: of it's conversation. Save your fucking money. Stop spending money
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: on bullshit. Stop eating out all the time. Like the
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: restaurants can't cook better than me. I'm always disappointed when
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: I go eat out. I be pissed every fucking time. Okay,
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: I took my uh people's out of his birthday. The
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: bill was almost like three hundred and fifty dollars or something.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: Like that he didn't like his steak. He didn't like
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: his food. So that that bothers me because I know
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: I could have cooked a bomb ass steak at the house.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: It gets steaked in head, I mean eggs.
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: No, you said it right, hour, go ahead, all right,
