He Smoke She Don't
Cannabis Cuisine and Conversations on Mens Mental Health
Ever wondered how THC-infused strawberry ice cream tastes, or how a BBQ steak rub can elevate your high? Join us in this thrilling episode of "He Smokes. She Don't" as we, Gene and Latina Murray, embark on a unique culinary journey, sampling edibles that range from delightful to downright overwhelming. From sharing our highs and unexpected lows to rating the flavors and potency of these treats, we've got stories that will make you laugh, ponder, and maybe even salivate. Plus, we introduce you to Moon Rock, a cannabis product so potent it’s legendary.
But the episode isn’t just about food and fun. We dive into a topic that’s often sidestepped—men's mental health. Why is it so tough for men to be vulnerable? How do societal pressures impact their emotional well-being? Latina offers her insights on supporting men through their struggles, contrasting them with the barriers men face in expressing their feelings. Through personal stories and deep reflections, we explore the imbalance in emotional support and the essential role of meaningful communication in relationships.
We also shine a light on the overlooked challenges of single parenthood, especially for single fathers. What does it mean to be present in your child’s life amidst societal expectations? And how can a supportive community make a difference? We discuss the importance of growth-oriented activities and breaking down barriers to personal development. Lastly, we reminisce about how memories shape our lives and critique the stark differences between the educational content of our childhood and today's media for kids. Tune in for a rich, multifaceted conversation that promises insight, humor, and a whole lot of heart.
I could hear everything you said while I was in there. You could probably say it's abortion. She always be getting something. That's why I don't want to work with her. I knew she was going to go back in there one more time.
Speaker 2:If people don't quit calling me a quitter, what? Who called you a quitter?
Speaker 1:Okay, welcome to episode four, oh uh, five, four.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is four.
Speaker 1:Okay, this four. Four. Yeah and yeah, this is four. Okay, this is four, this is four. You did that last week and you started making me second-guess myself. I'm second-guessing myself.
Speaker 2:Whatever you know I be on it Second-guessing myself.
Speaker 1:Second-guessing myself and I'm going to say that that's going. I second-pagased myself.
Speaker 2:I second-pagased myself because we's me. I second-pagased myself because we's me.
Speaker 1:Episode four of he Smokes. She don't, it's your boy, gene.
Speaker 2:She don't. And Latina Murray.
Speaker 1:And this week we have a treat for y'all, literally, and I'm hype. I'm super hyped because she's gonna indulge.
Speaker 2:I can't believe this is happening so early. I can't I, but I had a hundred episodes to go, nah, nah, nah.
Speaker 1:Well, actually you probably did have a hundred episodes to go, but once again, shout out to y'all for real, for real, real. Y'all been spreading the word, y'all been telling people about the episode, and actually somebody who's getting his weed business together and he has a lot of things across the floor. He was like I like what y'all doing and you're smoking on there. You mind if I give you some stuff for next showcase? I was like what? So shout out to my man, gravy. Once again, he's getting his business together. So as soon as he got a handle, we might just be putting up in the corner every week, just because you were the first one to believe in us, sponsor us in some type of way and get this going. So I'm going to just break this down for y'all right now, right now, right now.
Speaker 2:What do we have here?
Speaker 1:All the way to the left. I guess it's y'all right, but I left. We got some strawberry THC ice cream. Yeah, you don't like strawberry ice cream. No, that's probably why you said it, wheat ice cream. When you hear edibles like brownies and stuff, you don't really taste the wheat, you do taste the hint of it.
Speaker 2:It depends on who makes it, but it's not the overwhelming taste and I couldn you taste the hint I was going to say.
Speaker 1:You do taste the hint of it. It depends on who makes it, but it's not the overwhelming taste, because I had some cake and I couldn't taste a damn thing. See.
Speaker 2:And ate half of it.
Speaker 1:I know you was.
Speaker 2:I was gone, I know you was bad.
Speaker 1:I hate the feeling of being high, so, but no that uncontrollably high, because, especially edibles like you can't drink water, yeah, like it's just in your system until that shit gets out. And if you don't know I had no idea, but no, you probably didn't even know but like I had this big-ass Bob Rice Krispy Cheeks before, but it was CDC I just ate one quarter. That's all you really need to do, but and I had nothing else around me, oh my God. So I ate more of that. But that's when you start getting into the uncomfortable.
Speaker 2:Maybe that's what happened. Maybe that's how I ate half of it, Because I only had a slice Yep. But then I'm like that thing wasn't and it wasn't that good, but in my mind it was on point, have you ever heard the Wiz Khalifa song Cushion Old Drake?
Speaker 1:No, it was on that mixtape, but uh, fuck, at the end of the song he's like Everything's better when you're high, everything's better when you're high, everything's not. But that like you're like the kick wasn't that good, but it tastes good, yeah, it was. Music be better, food be better, sex be better, like it does intensify so much.
Speaker 1:I've been told that sex is better when you're in it. So, hey, maybe you might not be a smoker, but you could be an indulger. We'll see, I don't know. All right, so, yeah, we got some. I snapped at it. We got some strawberry THC ice cream over here. Then he gave me this rub it's like a barbecue rub or like a steak rub that you can put on, and I wanted to switch it up and try a couple things. So, yeah, your boy shat this up, by the way, I got us some steak bites and then some grilled shrimp over here too. And then, to top it off, to quench our thirst, he also has these THC. Quench your thirst. Yes, he also has these THC. Quench your thirst. Yes, he has these THC drops. Now, once again, like we was talking I think we were talking about sativas and because, like, this is like a sativa hybrid, so like, in the morning, you drop a cup of coffee or something to keep you going, you drop anything, whatever.
Speaker 2:So this is an upper, yeah, yeah. So I mean you're going to be fried Because I've been a little down today.
Speaker 1:So Well, this will definitely help you out. So that's our spread. And then, once again, she still don't smoke, though that's your boy, I'm the smoker, so he also gave me some Moon Rock that I'm going to try. Who the fuck is that? So Moonrock is basically like weed the weed version of Moonshine. No, yes, yes, yes, but it's like weed THC oil in there, but Keith wrapped it all in Keith. So there's like three different types of THC. That's potency just keeps getting higher, but it's all in one.
Speaker 2:Sound like you should just be correct, save you some time.
Speaker 1:Listen, I would agree. No, no, no, Because I guarantee after smoking Ru-Wack, I don't feel like if I hit crack I've never done it but I guarantee I'm not going to be scratching myself kneading another. I ain't going to be feeling like that. But then he gave me a joint too, of his personal own weed, like he grows raw salt, and this is a bomber, like a powerheader. So basically you unscrew this, you light up the joint that you got and you put the filter on here and close it up, and so this whole thing will fill up with smoke. And then you just every now and then squeeze it to get your head, but it becomes so much more because of the smoke in there. Yeah, so we high today, we high today. So before we even start hopping into topics, I want you to just try at least one of the cookbooks. You can be like, okay, you did your thing, and then you can see that the flavor really don't bother you that much.
Speaker 2:Smells like shrimp.
Speaker 1:Looks like shrimp. They got the tail on, so make sure that you know.
Speaker 2:All right, thanks. I see a little one from France.
Speaker 1:Hey, give me your honest opinion. If you're not, I don't taste nothing.
Speaker 2:Do you put other seasonings on? It duh because it's what, it's okay. No, it's good, it is good and that's the thing. Can I throw this in here? Yeah?
Speaker 1:when you add that with the THC, bro, like there's other flavors in there, you're not just tasting weed it is good and, but then that's the dangerous part.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was about to say that's a problem.
Speaker 1:Because you're going to want to keep. Also, ladies, if your man not cooking you, at least a small spread like this. This ain't taking anything but 15, what 15,? 20 minutes to cook up. Get you a man that can do it all, because Chef Boyardee over here, he be looking at you already Already. You loving it. What?
Speaker 2:What's on your mind? Nothing, I'm just trying to see if I can taste it. You can't, I know.
Speaker 1:But once again, shout out to Gravy, obviously, your products.
Speaker 2:I want to taste this ice cream.
Speaker 1:I was going to say that too, but I'm going to throw a couple of drops of this up in here. And I asked him. I was like what's the recommended dosage? Like how many drops? He was like, however you feel it, I was like my God.
Speaker 2:I thought, for sure, I was going to taste it in this.
Speaker 1:And it tastes good, right, I see it. Oh, like probably grains of it, yeah, but you don't taste it.
Speaker 2:Yes, oh, you do, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Okay, so maybe ice cream is at the Y'all, come take a seat. Hey, we be shooting this outside and so we want everybody to be invited in and whatnot. And we got a couple homies that's been watching us for a couple weeks. They just want to come, pop in and say what's up to y'all. Go ahead, it's your world, it's your world. Tell them your name, tell them something you want to know, sit down and share and then tell him to watch.
Speaker 2:He smokes, she don't. That's all, really. That's all, that's all Watch. He smokes, she don't.
Speaker 1:And tell him something about yourself. It look like you play football.
Speaker 2:We play football.
Speaker 1:Oh, they all nice Me, and my friend play football yeah. Okay, so we should look out for you in the future.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You heard it here first, braylon going to the league. Okay, brother, I'll see you right out there. You next Come on, show them what you got. Don't be shy. This your moment in spotlight, okay.
Speaker 2:He's so excited. Hello, my name is Kendu, I play football and y'all should watch.
Speaker 1:He Smokes, she Don't because it's a good broadcast. Wow, okay then that was almost like a songbite. I might use that on every episode.
Speaker 2:You have to have y'all back. Heck yeah, heck yeah. Appreciate y'all fellas. Let me test the same one. You thought it was different. I was just trying to see, let me test it Frozen. But then you took some out and it wasn't frozen.
Speaker 1:It's a hot day today, mm-mm you crazy this is amazing.
Speaker 2:It don't help that it's strawberry and that there's stuff in it. I don't like textured ice cream. Okay.
Speaker 1:So take away the strawberry, take away the texture.
Speaker 2:I can taste it. I was going to say you can taste a little bit, but but it ain't like overpowering to the point where I'm like ew, then it just wouldn't be edible but it's a lot Like if I told you this was a forest strawberry, you know I'd be coming up with bullshit like that. Does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 1:To make it seem like I don't know, you know.
Speaker 2:But no, okay, this tastes like water now. I was going to say the drops in there didn't do anything to it. I put 10 drops in and it didn't do nothing.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:So the only thing I haven't tasted yet, go ahead and hit me with the steak bite.
Speaker 1:then Tell me what you're thinking. Is this real?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's kale. Oh, I wasn't sure if it was real or not.
Speaker 1:Mmm, it might be my cousin, I can tell.
Speaker 2:It's a little salty A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit. Okay, I feel like if it wasn't that salty I would probably taste it. Really, I still don't taste nothing, or maybe I think I taste it because of the ice cream Could be.
Speaker 1:Maybe clean the paddle a little bit, come back for it, yeah. But I will say Everything is good though. Yeah. All in all, I'm giving it an 8.5, 9. Obviously that might go up or down, once it hits me and I feel what the high is, but just the flavor of everything I really like it yeah that didn't have a flavor to it.
Speaker 1:But the strawberry cheesecake should it have a flavor to it or no? I don't think so because, like you said, you can put it in coffee, you can put it in anything, so if it changes the flavor of it, that probably this was lemonade but I wasn't drinking mine while the ice was really thirsty.
Speaker 2:I don't know why you want me to use some more no okay but yeah, overall I'm giving like eight and a half nine.
Speaker 1:So once it hit me I going to say what it is, because that rub was on point too. Yeah, the shrimp was good. Damn, it was really like a seasoning. The consistency of it, yeah.
Speaker 2:I like the steak better.
Speaker 1:Me too, but I like steak.
Speaker 2:Better period, I like shrimp better, but I like the steak better. Me too, but I like steak better. Period, I like shrimp better, but I like the steak better. Okay, in this scenario, you cut them really big.
Speaker 1:Well, that's how I wanted it. Oh, I forgot you got braces, that's what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because.
Speaker 1:I'm over here like I know, it ain't that tough that's my bad, I forgot you had them while I'm over here. But yeah, and if you are a weed smoker cause I know sometimes I be smoking a lot, but I would just get tired of smoking I want a different way to get my high, or whatever A meal like this, a movie and a relaxing glass of wine.
Speaker 2:Weed and wine.
Speaker 1:That mixture sends you to heaven, and I never used to be a wine drinker. I was like that's bullshit mixture sends you to heaven, and I never used to be a wine drinker. I was like that's bullshit.
Speaker 2:I ain't trying to wine is really good, but it gets you a nice joint and wine hits you in the right wine hits you in the right place the emotions.
Speaker 1:I hate that part about it. You think so. Yeah, I hate the emotion part about wine, but Mm-hmm, the emotions. I hate that part about it. You think so. Yeah, I hate the emotion part about wine. But if I'm in a good space, if I'm like good headspace, well why I'm like that's probably one of my go-to drinks. Then If I'm in a good headspace, I've been into coolers lately. Mine has always been tequila, but now I'm getting into wine for real, for real, and it might be because of cost. Her parents own a winery and so she started getting me into it and I started knowing the differences and stuff.
Speaker 2:And swallowed that whole. I tried, almost choked yourself. I tried to take a piece of it. You know how you can break up stuff in your mouth with your tongue Mm-hmm, it just.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it happened. It happened. I made it like medium well, so it still got a little texture to it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 1:But it was just the whole racist thing I forgot about it.
Speaker 2:Is that how you eat your steak?
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm. Medium usually, but Medium usually. But yeah, that's why I was like I'm a well done and I knew that. That's why I'm like we can go in between. Yeah, we can do that Banana. Yeah, Gravy, you did your thing. Homie, we appreciate you.
Speaker 2:This is about to keep us going for the whole episode. I didn't love the ice cream, but I'm pretty sure if you are into weed and edibles, I think you'll like it.
Speaker 1:I'm even proud of you for trying these things.
Speaker 2:I'm hungry. I didn't eat nothing today. Well, that would help. That would help. I mean, I was going to try it anyway, I think I'm feeling it.
Speaker 1:And I love it. I love that and once again, again from him just reaching out like what we do yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:I appreciate that trusting us to be given a good review an honest review.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cause a lot of people be scared if we say something like nah, it wasn't good. Now he mad at us.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:And you wanted me to try it, but nah. So that's the rating I'm giving you. Eight and a half nine. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. She don't really smoke weed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't really know.
Speaker 1:Don't take it to heart, whatever her rating, is.
Speaker 2:I mean, I can't taste it on the food. So on the rating of whether I can taste it or not, 10 out of 10. Okay, I don't smoke. So yeah, I'm about to hit this moon, roll this moon right now. How high I get, really ain't even if I get high at all.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:It's a 10 out of 10, I guess, if it hits me a little bit, it did what it was supposed to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and even like we were talking about that perfect transition Fellas, this one, I'm going to be sending this one out to y'all. And we was talking about wine. Nice little joint, quiet night in Men, I don't know if y'all know, or you should know, Men, I don't know if y'all know or you should know, and if you don't spread the word. June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Only reason I want to put so much emphasis on it and bring a lot of light to it is because, one, I'm a man. Two, don't nobody be fucking listening to us when we really be screaming for help and not not in a way of like whining and shit, Like all right, all right, wait a minute, go ahead. But you can see they're acting different. You can see they're spiraling. You can see that they're not who they usually are. Check in on that man, Please do. Check in on that man, Please do. They're like. The rate of men's suicide is compared to. It's ridiculous, and I wish I would have done more research, but I always just having those conversations with males.
Speaker 2:We always just know that it's higher than everybody else. I always get so confused when I hear that there are so many men who are like mentally unhealthy or unstable, because as a woman I feel like I'm very much. I mean, you can call it nosy or whatever, but I'm always wanting to know what's going on. But you're one person Right or whatever you want, but I'm always wanting to know what's going on, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:But you're one person Right Out of billions in the world Right, and I even started noticing about that myself, like sometimes you really are the exception to the rule. Me Just, whoever.
Speaker 1:Yeah whoever it is. There's a lot more women out there that really want to tap in with their man and see how they're feeling and understand their mentalism, really take care of that for them too. But majority isn't there and I've seen it Out of more women that I mess with. More times than not. I've seen a woman take my vulnerability and turn it against me. Then they're just protected, like if I took a moment to really just open up to you and talk to you, like and in the moment I usually haven't seen like nigger that's off and nigger shut up, like I haven't seen nothing like that, but it's usually knowing that information. You use that against me and I'm like men can just hide it. Well, because we're always taught rub some dirt on it, you're all right, you'll be okay, but that should be hurting, especially to know that I chose you to open up to.
Speaker 2:I took do you feel like it's the vulnerability that's being used against you, or just the knowledge of whatever you said?
Speaker 1:I'm gonna say the vulnerability, because you get knowledge from me in all areas, like I'm not just opening up to you in a vulnerable space. I'll talk to you about sports, I'll give you information about my music, my creativity, and you don't use that shit against me. And I mean like if you just upset with something I did or we get into an argument or you feel slighted in any way, it's not even to try to get me to understand how you got there. You just want to hurt me. At this point. You just want to take stabs at me and go in on me and I'm like, but then that even gets me spiraling, like what? What did I actually do wrong? What are you actually mad about? Because the way that you're coming at me it wasn't warranted for this Right.
Speaker 2:I feel like definitely we need to hone in on men's mental health. I think it is weird that boys are raised to not show their feelings or feel their feelings. I mean, you can't expect a human to just not feel.
Speaker 1:But that'd be my thing is just because it's become so normalized that people just think we're always going to be okay or that we're not going to feel nothing. I don't know because, okay, if you can be honest real quick, like because I've seen you get mad at your partner, I don't want to say it, alvin. Yeah, I've seen you get mad at Alvin and I've seen you take stabs at him and digs at him and I'm like I know he probably going to feel it. What is the reason for that? Because he did it.
Speaker 1:And see, that's what I mean, because.
Speaker 2:I have never done that with anyone else when I'm being threatened. Oh, you mean him?
Speaker 1:Yeah, because he did it.
Speaker 2:I feel like a lot of, and not everybody, but I feel like a lot of relationships are mirrors, or you become a mirror Because I'm being threatened by an ex that if I go sleep with somebody else or talk to somebody else that you're going to kill me, and it never crossed my mind to use something that he said to me against him.
Speaker 1:Got you, got you, got you.
Speaker 2:Because he had never done it to me.
Speaker 1:But I also feel like it only comes from the ones that's closest to you.
Speaker 2:Maybe because people get too comfortable and feel like they can just do and say whatever they want? Yeah, because when we first got together he lied a lot. He would hide things. He would get super angry whenever we would get into it, get into an argument like if he got frustrated with me, it just was no calming him.
Speaker 1:And it's going to be like that for the rest of the night. Right.
Speaker 2:So then, when y'all started seeing it from me, it was because I've seen it. This is how he treats me, so this is how he wants to be treated.
Speaker 1:Gotcha Okay, and he never explained that he didn't like it.
Speaker 2:Didn't like what I was doing. Yeah, oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, you can, but it's like you can't tell me that you don't like something that you do, true.
Speaker 1:True, true, that, 100% sure. And then I'll also say like, like, and I'm gonna be playing devil's advocate this whole time because I'm a man and I know what these things, but I'm even in that situation. Do you think you get a lot more mental help than he does?
Speaker 2:and I mean just from outside sources, me personally, uh, when I seek it, see, I feel like I mean and not saying when I seek it.
Speaker 1:See, I feel like I mean. I'm not saying that's not why, but I feel like that's what it's going to be regardless with women. Women are always going to get someone that's willing to be like what's wrong, or you want to talk way more than a man would have you ever heard that one, Chris Rock. He had a stand-up and he said the same.
Speaker 1:I don't listen to Chris Rock or watch him. I've never found him that funny either. But in the stand-up he has said women, children, no, women, babies and pets are loved unconditionally. Men are only loved on the condition that they can provide something.
Speaker 2:And I was like ooh, I do feel like that can be true, can be yeah.
Speaker 1:I feel like some people, some men are being loved unconditionally.
Speaker 2:There are some men who are.
Speaker 1:But I feel like they people, some men, are being loved unconditionally. There are some men who are, but I feel like they're providing something. I feel like if he just went through a season of where shit just went wrong three to six months, he just like.
Speaker 2:I be seeing some homeless couples. He ain't providing shit and she ain't leaving.
Speaker 1:No, you don't know what he's providing, because they're both in the same place, so he could still be providing something. I mean Not on the roof, but he could. You're right, and that's what I mean. Women, that's true, it is. The thing is, and I truly feel like, in whatever area he's right, provided if he starts fucking up, dead homeless woman is gonna be going from him too but, if you okay.
Speaker 2:So here's my thing. If he's providing something, I guess what bothers me is that it comes off like women don't provide anything.
Speaker 1:No, no, that's not what we're talking about. We're saying loved unconditionally. You don't gotta give me nothing as a woman, I'm still gonna love you unconditionally.
Speaker 2:But do you think that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, for real, I've seen it felt it Like we were talking about with the XX when I was away in another state, completely done, not thinking about you calling me, and I'm still willing to have this conversation with you. And no, I don't need to Know that this ain't serving me at all, but I know it's helping you. There's no condition for me.
Speaker 2:I only ask because in my personal you haven't seen that.
Speaker 2:No, in my personal relationship, I know that I'm providing things and, yes, I'm being told that I'm loved unconditionally. But if I stopped doing the things that I do, how much would you feel that that? That's just like I get that what he's saying makes sense. I feel like babies and pets are loved unconditionally. But as adults, men or women, I think we're both providing a service, unless you are that woman who just ain't going to do nothing. I do believe there are some women who aren't providing anything, yeah, but I know that there are women who are.
Speaker 1:But once again I think you're missing the point is that those women who are providing something and I guess the only way we would find out is for you to stop providing that thing but chances are and the chances are way higher that you're still going to be loved unconditionally when you're not bringing whatever you provided to the table, versus a man not bringing whatever he provided him being loved.
Speaker 2:I will say the numbers are definitely outweighed. But I can't say just point blank that if a man stops providing that a woman is just going to dip out.
Speaker 1:And I'm not saying dip out or not love you. Yeah, see that she might not like you.
Speaker 2:I can 100% say that if a man stops providing, it is the chances of a woman not liking you which is very important are gone. I'm not going to like you if you stop providing, but the things that I need provided for me are necessary.
Speaker 1:For you, that's the important part. It's necessary for you.
Speaker 2:I think they're necessary for everybody. I need communication. I need you to provide communication and honesty. Those are things I need you to provide communication and honesty. Those are things that I need you to provide For finances.
Speaker 1:I don't need that. But I'm saying there's some people who don't need that.
Speaker 2:No, that's necessary if you want a healthy relationship.
Speaker 1:There are some people who love toxic relationships. Oh, I, and I'm just keeping it once again playing the fool advocate there and I'm just keeping it once again yeah, yeah, yeah. There's all those type of people I can't just definitively say and that's why I was agreeing I can't definitively say that just men are cared about less.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can, but that's what it seems like I can't say. Men are cared about less.
Speaker 1:You know, like just our overall work, because Titanic men and women, children and women first.
Speaker 2:Why?
Speaker 1:Why? Why? Because when y'all get to where y'all going.
Speaker 2:Who gonna take care of the stuff now? Yep, I don't think you did it right. I did. Oh, I tasted it at least. I'm getting an aftertaste of weed, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:All from the food, mm-hmm, I think I'm feeling it a little bit.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I'm feeling it a little bit.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I'm feeling it, but oh, I didn't cover the car.
Speaker 2:That's my fault, so you ruined it.
Speaker 1:No, but I think it's still on here. Yeah, it's still burning and I feel like this makes a joint last so much longer. But yeah, and I wanted to. Obviously I might be ambitious with this mission or with this goal, man. I wanted to get to a point where we don't need that. Like I might sound corny.
Speaker 1:But, even this, like how me feeling like this is corny to say or I've been loving myself so much lately to where it's helping with my security in me, it's helping with my social life just with other people, because I'm becoming I mean, I love myself, I joke with myself Anything that I would want to do for anybody else that I love, I'm making sure that I would want to do it for me first, and I feel like not enough men go for the inside validation more than the external and I want that to change so much. I want men to realize that.
Speaker 2:You feel like that was corny to say.
Speaker 1:Once again, you might be the exception to the rule.
Speaker 2:No. I'm asking you, is that what you felt was corny to say yes because it was no? I'm asking you, is that what you felt was? Corny to say yes, because it was no, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1:If something told me. I would answer it Something deep inside of me said you know where this is going. Why don't you even try to answer this?
Speaker 2:You tried to avoid it.
Speaker 1:I did. It didn't work. I gotta light this again. I don't think it's working because I keep getting hits of it. Yeah, I saw it going among, yeah, and I keep getting hits of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw it going in my mouth. Yeah, I keep getting.
Speaker 1:Because, yeah, it's burning. Maybe I just need to like Let it sit for a minute. Yeah, quit being so impatient, could be. Could be that. Could be that I'm going to just light it a little more.
Speaker 2:Are you sure you're supposed to have it on that? I'm?
Speaker 1:feeling something Good. Good, because, if you're not, he didn't do his job right and we don't want to give him a bad review. It's time for a nap. Already, you need some more of that. See, I can get you some more water, no, and then you put some drops in there, no, okay. So you try to feel like all of the high huh.
Speaker 2:I just want to know what it I mean.
Speaker 1:I ate it Honestly, yeah, no, I know what you're saying, though you want to know what it really really feels like, the effects and everything, because I'm about to roll up and let this fill up, so I'm going to plug this all real quick. That's how we do that. That's the Kyle Palenka, so it don't escape. But yeah, we've been getting distracted so easily.
Speaker 2:No, I don't think that was corny, and I do agree that I feel like men need to be more comfortable with who they are. I feel like I'm not speaking for him, but I feel like Alvin is not comfortable with who they are. I feel like I'm not speaking for him, but I feel like Alvin is not comfortable with who he is. He thinks that some sexual talk is just too much. I think that he feels that way because he's just not comfortable with himself.
Speaker 2:Because I too am very free and comfortable to say whatever I want to say, and some people might be like you need to calm down, like chill out, but for what it's on my mind, and if you've told me that we were cool enough to talk, why can't I say what I need to say?
Speaker 1:and I guess that'd be my thing. I believe you when you say something to me. Yeah, but I've had women like. Conversations literally are just words that go in ears and out. Yeah, it's not something that sits. Yeah, like. And so then I realized, oh, you didn't really mean what you said, yeah. And then, even going through that whole process of like, was it just because of me that you didn't mean what you said? Or like is is. Once again, it's a lot of nonsense to think about, but if you're secure and you, none of that shit will even matter because I say it won't pop in your head. Yeah, I, yeah.
Speaker 2:Because I feel like some men feel like they have to do certain things to get what they want because they don't know, as a man, how to function, especially with all the accusatory stuff that comes at men and just like like not saying that men's life is just so much harder than women's. But there are situations, just like for women, that are hard to deal with.
Speaker 1:Right, right.
Speaker 2:When I was going through my phase, I was talking to this guy and he oh, we can't say health phase now. Oh yeah, you didn't have one, yeah.
Speaker 1:It wasn't say health phase now, oh yeah, you didn't have one. Yeah, it wasn't health phase, that's right, that's right he would.
Speaker 2:When he would text and call me, it would be like almost like I felt like he was trying to keep a string attached. Yeah, like you don't really want to talk to me, but you feel like you have to so that we can have sex. But I already told you we was fucking, so I don't, I don't understand.
Speaker 1:You don't have to call me or text me for this like but even that, like I never understood that you're willing to do something you don't want to right Right Like. If that's the case, then just find someone else who you don't feel like that with.
Speaker 2:Because it seems like you or almost, that you want to be able to have conversations with me, but we just aren't clicking like that.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, could be that too.
Speaker 2:So again, go find someone that you are, because neither one of our sex is that good that we'd have to go through. Oh, I got to make time to text and talk to her Like.
Speaker 1:And I'll say, like, just when it comes to men and women, like women are more Women are more prone to, I guess, just innately. Think about one relationship like through all school, like you just love romance relationships, like that's just ingrained in women to where guys is more of work, money and then the family and obviously things are changing. But I'm just saying, like most of the things that are ingrained and it seems like we've always got the exception, clearly but it seems like that's why men take it more.
Speaker 1:and I could be crazy, but that's why men take it more seriously once they do fall in love or once they do find a person that they can open, to, open up to, or Because that's what I'm saying. You didn't really mean what you were saying to me, but the fact that you could say that stuff and not believe it shows that you don't really take this thing seriously, and I've got that from a lot of women.
Speaker 2:I think I can agree with that, but that fucks up my mental. I think there are some ups and downs on that. I definitely get what you're saying. That like because we just want romance so badly that it's easier, we allow it to come to us a lot easier than a man will and I'll even even say like even vetting who needs to get it from you is not as serious.
Speaker 1:But that's why I feel like there's a lot more women who mess with fuck niggas than a lot more men who mess with bitches Like assholes, like just women.
Speaker 2:that don't care.
Speaker 1:But that's because y'all just want somebody At that point.
Speaker 2:I will say that I feel like a lot more like when relationships don't work out, it is because the woman picked the wrong person ooh, not cause the other way around no, I will say it's cause the woman picked the wrong person because, like you said, she's just looking for somebody and because we allow ourselves to feel so easily, we will fall for the wrong person.
Speaker 1:Right, right, but that's what I was talking about. With the safe guy, you don't even really have anything compatible with him. Yeah, and that's why I say compatibility, because he might provide for you. You take care of everything, but when it's just y'all late at night in bed, y'all conversations is vanilla. Yeah, and that's why I say compatibility, because he might provide for you. You take care of everything, but when it's just y'all laying at night in bed, y'all conversations is vanilla.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's hell, yeah, yeah, and that's what I mean. I need someone who can provide conversation. Now I can hold a conversation, but I'm really not good at starting them.
Speaker 1:And that's what I was going to ask. Like, do you?
Speaker 2:feel like you do. Come to your man and inquire. It depends, Like on what?
Speaker 1:What do you mean? Just anything Like if you see Household stuff See, that's what I was going to say If you just see he's been off or something, is it? Hey man, what's been going on?
Speaker 2:with you lately. Oh no, if he's sitting and looking sad, I'll ask him what's wrong. It might not be that, and I guess I mean I say sad, but I just know if he looks different than, and then you will inquire. Yeah, then the everyday him.
Speaker 1:But you already said you're the exception. But yeah, I mean yeah, because I'm nosy.
Speaker 1:Not to go too far off the topic and get into relationships and stuff. But I really want men to start loving themselves so much to where your mental ain't in jeopardy because somebody else can't see what you are or how good you are. Jeopardy because somebody else can't see what you are or how good you are. Because that's where a lot I feel like a lot of the mental health issues come from is we just feel like we're not living up to something, something we felt we should have lived up to.
Speaker 2:He says that a lot and I feel and again, don't want to get into relationships, but I feel like if a man is feeling that he's not fulfilling you, like if he can sense that he's not fulfilling you, you should walk away.
Speaker 1:But that's what I was saying not fulfilling anything Like living up to being the man that you thought but that could be just as a job like I still got a job. I'm still working there, but I thought I'd be get a promotion two years ago and I didn't. That's but I'm still functioning every day.
Speaker 2:Nobody's really seen nothing change, but internally but with jobs I feel like that's man or a woman for sure, but once again it just becomes harder because of no.
Speaker 1:I was saying say that man and a woman. They thought they should get a promotion. Two years go by and neither one of them got a promotion. It might take two years for somebody to notice that he was upset about not getting that promotion. It's not going to take a person that long to notice she was upset about getting that promotion. And I'm saying both of them could be the type to not say anything about their disappointment. Yeah, they're reacting the same way. That's what I mean. But this is why I want men to take care of themselves, because we'll wait that two years looking for someone to ask us about that instead of asking yourself.
Speaker 2:Well, do you think? Yeah, I mean, do you think, but that's what.
Speaker 1:I was saying Like I mean, do you think? But that's what I was saying, Like I really want men to just start loving themselves and if that's the message I can get for men's mental health awareness is, love yourself. Ask for help? No, not even that, Because sometimes the right help, like I said, you can open up to somebody and then they turn that on you. Now I will say therapists and stuff.
Speaker 2:But do you think asking your partner or opening up to your partner is asking for help? Mm-hmm, I don't, mm-hmm, I don't.
Speaker 1:Not unless. But once again, I don't want to keep saying it on partners because I or a friend, but that's why I say I do switch it up, because I've been in therapy and it helps a lot. Yeah, that come from me wanting to figure out me.
Speaker 2:But that's you asking for help.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I say. I take that back. I say, yeah, I think it is okay to ask for help.
Speaker 2:Because I feel like, even if I go to a friend and open up, you live in the same life. I am, you don't know, no better than I do, and neither does a therapist, other than the fact that they've studied the brain a little bit, yeah, but I even so they can just give you the alternative options on how to handle it.
Speaker 2:But a friend or a partner or a family member? I don't think that's asking for help. I think that's asking for an ear, which can be helpful. Yeah, but I do think men need to be more responsible with their mental health. Oh for sure, Ask for help. It didn't do nothing.
Speaker 1:I think it might be out.
Speaker 2:I might try to use that later because this is hidden but for sure, mental health for men is important, because if you can't function your mental health, you can't function your mental health, you can't function anything.
Speaker 1:But I'm saying, especially if, like the people that believe in traditional hierarchy relationships, like the man is the head of the household, things like that, how do you think this man is going to keep on running everything, keeping everything in order of his mental, not even if he breaking down what's going on. But if he's breaking down, how do you think he can take care of anything?
Speaker 2:I heard you.
Speaker 1:But you don't agree, you don't agree.
Speaker 2:No, I agree she's high y'all.
Speaker 1:She's high y'all. I don't know why, but I was just looking at your eyes. But what was the point of telling me? You heard me? You're on a podcast. I hope you heard me. I was. I hope that you did. You just wanted to let me know that you heard me because I felt like my eyes was closed.
Speaker 2:They was low as hell. So I'm like I heard you. You know I have to say it again.
Speaker 1:So now, what are you reading?
Speaker 2:I mean I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1:You just said I don't know, three times in a row. Just want you to know that you fried or getting there. Uh-uh, you getting there. I am so thirsty and I'm not even going to ask if you want me to get you something else again, because I've offered already. Uh-uh.
Speaker 2:But yeah.
Speaker 1:But I'll say it like this I'm talking to my men again.
Speaker 2:No, you don't got no women.
Speaker 1:My fellas out there.
Speaker 1:Stand up, take it seriously, like, take you as, take loving yourself as seriously as you can. And I'm dead ass every time I hear about a story about a man committing suicide or hearing. I'm like and it's always preventable, always, always, always, always, always, even in the book. And if I can suggest that too, in what book? I was going to say, if I can suggest a book for all the men out there. It's called you Happier by Dr Daniel Heyman, but it actually is a book. He's a neuroscientist, a book. He's a neuroscientist. But the way that he has studied the brain and the parts of the brain and what those specific parts do to your mind to make you function and you can learn so much about yourself through this book and even start helping yourself to love yourself through that the more you learn about you.
Speaker 1:And we always grow and we always change and I know as a man, I feel like I'm always going to be young, limber, keep the same mind and it's just not true. It's just not true. And your boys is worried about you. Your family is worried about you. Don't ever feel like talking to somebody as a burden and to anybody that's watching this podcast. Like we go through our own messages. We go through our own dms like let us know, let us know, and I'll promise I will. If it's just one message, I can shoot back. I promise I will do that because it's important for that, for us. We we losing too many of us and we are the ones that are out here trying to just live.
Speaker 1:Like I think that gets missed on a lot of people that we just want to live to. I know black people really be feeling that, but that's how men be feeling. Why do you look at me like this? You heard me. That's what you're going to tell me.
Speaker 2:I can feel my heartbeat. You don't think you're hot. You said gang leaf, that says game.
Speaker 1:What does it say under it? You said gang. I didn't say game. I said game.
Speaker 2:No, you said gang Like play a game Like gang. No, I didn't Like me and my gang. I'm in there like I need a gang leaf. No, you said gang Like play a game Like gang. No, I didn't Like me and my gang.
Speaker 1:I'm in there like I need a gang leaf. No, I did not. No, I did not. Yes, you did. No, I did not. Don't listen. This is why she don't smoke. She be forgetting stuff. You said gang leaf, she be forgetting stuff, and I feel like I'm starting to see a lot more men in their kids' lives and it's important for your mental to be stable for them too, because I don't feel like there's a lot, do you? Yeah?
Speaker 2:You don't. No, Do you feel like you're seeing that more? Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:But I'm looking for it a lot more too. Like any friends that I got. They might have separated or they're single dads. I give them props all the time, like bro, keep going. I remember it was this dude. I made him work with him for like a week and then I heard about his son. I was like bro for real, keep going. I'm proud of you. I don't even know you like that, but you sitting here talking about your son, clearly, and even if he ain't shit nigga, I don't know that but in that aspect, keep going because they Keep going, because that means a lot.
Speaker 2:We'll have to have that as a topic. What Single?
Speaker 1:dads Shoot. We can talk about it right now. What would you Do? You think that it's becoming more common.
Speaker 2:I don't. I feel like it's very stagnant. But I guess it just depends on what you consider a man trying. Because if you get your kids every weekend or every other weekend and you're like say we have a kid together, you get them every weekend at five o'clock. And you're like like say we have a kid together, you get them every weekend at five o'clock because you work all day, so at five o'clock I'm to drop them off and pick them up, five o'clock Sunday. If I say I'm going to be there at three because I know you'll be home at three and you say no, I'm not supposed to get them until five, all right, yeah, like you are purposely making things hard for me.
Speaker 1:If I have something to do where I Well, I wouldn't say he's purposely making things hard for you, but you don't know what he's doing between three and five.
Speaker 2:If the answer is just, but, then I'm like I don't get them until five. I'm not taking them until five.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, he can't just tell you if he's doing something. I mean he don't have to, no, but he can say I'm busy, right? Yeah, I don't have to tell you what I'm doing. Yeah, if it is just, I don't get them until five.
Speaker 2:So I'm not taking up till Right shit nigga Right like. Yeah yeah, I feel like a lot of people are, or a lot of men are, covering up that they are deadbeats by just having them on the weekend, by just having them in the time that they're supposed to have them. Because why can't you?
Speaker 1:You know, I was wondering what are you doing in those two Right? Are you just getting them? Are I also?
Speaker 2:wonder what are you doing in those two Right? Are you just getting them? Are they going to your mom's because your mom want to see them? Are they going to see your family and you're not seeing them? It's stuff like that that makes me be like are they really trying or are they just covering it up with I'll take them during my time.
Speaker 1:I think that's on a case by case, but me I'm happy to know you're still there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure for sure. Period for absolutely, and I'm not gonna go case by case by case to know how yeah, how good of a father you are for absolutely, but you being present is a step up is better than nothing, absolutely, and I'm not gonna say it's the best that's you can definitely do more, but that's a great start, yeah, a great.
Speaker 1:Just showing up is a great start, yeah, and I. But I also believe that's on a lot of because I see a lot of men who don't see their kids or something because they, once again, they feel like they're not where they should be, and I'm like that kid don't care, I promise he don't, and it's going to be too late by the time you think you'll be where you should be to where, because the thing is, in a relationship relationship or single you'll never be ready for kids because there is no way to get ready.
Speaker 2:You don't know that person, right? You don't know this child that's about to come out. So, yeah, there's no way to prepare for somebody you ain't never met, you ain't never talked to them. You know, you know nothing about them. So that's that. Because my first son was an angel, cried only when he needed his diaper changed or when he was hungry.
Speaker 1:My twins came and, jesus Christ, I don't understand why you're crying all the time can't even like that, like talk about single dads and once again I'm not, but I'm focused on my men. Today they're going through that too.
Speaker 2:What it's about single dads and once again, I'm not niggering, but I'm focused on my men today.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, they're going through that too. What, like when single moms are so hard? They're like there's single dads out there too and the thing is oh yeah, like we just yeah, there are full-time single dads, but like we established, there's a lot less people checking in on him than it is on her and I'm saying that can break the biggest, the strongest adult.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm not defending that no one checks in on men, but I think a lot of women might feel like we do it every day.
Speaker 1:That's why I said the single dads.
Speaker 2:They do it every day, but it was always that women were doing it every day, but we focused on our men today. I think women just feel like finally, finally, you're seeing what we go through.
Speaker 1:But I feel like that finally. But that still is no reason for I'm saying this as all humans, because men do it too, but that finally doesn't need to be like. I'm going to just let you go through it now, I ain't going to.
Speaker 2:I'm not.
Speaker 1:I agree Like I ain't going to help. I'm not going to. I agree Like I don't know, but once again, because once she started doing that to him, there's still not people checking in. That's another stress on his head and thing that he got to deal with and he still ain't got nobody to talk to about it. For real, for real that and once again, I'm not.
Speaker 2:I just don't want it to come off like I don't care about men's mental health. But when we're talking about the parenting state of this, as single moms or even as not even single mom, just as mothers we're always pushed to believe that. But you still got to take care of that kid. You still got to take care of home. You still got to do those things.
Speaker 1:And I guess that's what I've been seeing more lately. And once again I can't say from your perspective but me. I talk to a lot of men and that's the conversation Like when we find out that they're pregnant. We throw them parties for them. We really want to get together and we might celebrate how we celebrate, taking shots, whatever, but that's become the conversation. We need to be there. It's like we almost like we not going to fuck with you if you're not showing up. For them.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I feel like, when it comes to parenting, there needs to be across the board check-in and village, for whether you're a single mom, dad or a couple, for sure, when it comes to just life, day-to-day life, single men or in a relationship, yes, I agree, men, men definitely need to know that they have a space, safe space, and I'm sorry, but it is on men to be there for each other. I feel like it's always portrayed that women are against each other. I feel like men are really. Like I don't see enough Men groups, men friend groups. Like I don't see enough men holding their friends accountable, holding themselves accountable in front of the people that they should be doing that with which is other men Agreed. Agreed, it's this idea that you have to be tough or thug, or that's not healthy. Agreed, I don't know where y'all getting it from that you got to be out here shooting and killing and tough enough to take a bullet.
Speaker 1:Like but and that's what I feel like is just my hurt and you don't know what to do with it. You're just going to hurt somebody else Because I've had friends on both sides mental sides I've had friends that I could talk to. I went down to Florida recently and my boy Moose, we sat down there. Did you say Moose, yeah, moose, yeah, you gonna stop it.
Speaker 2:Moose shout out to him. One time, you could have kept his name to himself. Whatever, shout out to Moose.
Speaker 1:But we just sat and we talked about being a dad and like he's a dad, yeah, he got three boys but even that being a dad two boys and then quitting all our vices to be a good inspiration to them. But then I got friends on the other side like nigga, I just can't get it together, or I don't want to get it together, or I'm like People are saying they don't want to.
Speaker 2:In so many words, but you can tell that, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just who's bold? I mean, there probably is somebody bold enough to be like. I just don't want to. Oh, for sure.
Speaker 1:I? I mean, there probably is somebody bold enough to be like I just don't want you. Oh for sure, I've met some people like that, but then that stops that friend from growing, because us getting together is not realistic, because he lives in Florida. I'm here and just the fact that I travel. But I have tried to get men together and they just find it.
Speaker 2:Weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, because we can get together and hoop Right, but we just ain't talking about shit when we do that. Yeah. But I'm like let's all get a book and there's different types of books. There's violent books, there's romance books, there's sexual books, there's mental books. Like you don't got to think we're reading something that I don't know. I do want that stigma to change.
Speaker 2:I think a lot of men need to grow up. I think that is a big issue within the community of men, especially Black men. Yeah, like especially our age, our parents did too well. Our parents did too well, like our generation's parents, millennials' parents did too well.
Speaker 1:In the aspect of Of raising us.
Speaker 2:That's gone, yeah, because.
Speaker 1:No, that's gone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because.
Speaker 1:No, it's not.
Speaker 2:Too many men today are too comfortable knowing that my mom won't take care of it. My mom got my back Like, and then they look for women to be that they don't want a man up and do what they need to do. And I think it's a problem that when a man knows that he found his mother and a partner and thinks that that's how life is supposed to be, how are you supposed to raise a kid if you're still being raised?
Speaker 1:Facts, straight facts.
Speaker 2:No printer.
Speaker 1:What the fuck does that mean? Facts machine.
Speaker 2:What is no printer?
Speaker 1:It's just a bar.
Speaker 2:It's not, though. It is, I think y'all should stop saying that.
Speaker 1:That's dumb. So you just mad because you old.
Speaker 2:Facts means I sent you.
Speaker 1:It's a double entendre.
Speaker 2:I know what facts is. Facts is like. I gave you the information. It came from me to you Facts, or from you to me Facts, whatever Factual. Yeah, I know what it means. But what does no printer mean?
Speaker 1:Double line tundra, because fax is F-A-X, I know, but a fax machine and a printer. You still come together, but you can get them separately. So all fax, no printer.
Speaker 2:That's dumb Because you don't get it. What's the printer part?
Speaker 1:I'm not going to explain this.
Speaker 2:I get the physical aspect. That's the bar. No, it's not.
Speaker 1:It's dumb, I can't All right listen.
Speaker 2:This is why men be going crazy. What is no printer part, though, if this is the conversation? Because if it's facts with printer. What did that mean? What does that mean? Only part of it was factual. Is that what that means? Could be.
Speaker 1:Could be, but they're probably not going to say with printer, they're just going to play facts.
Speaker 2:Facts Print it out. You need to get that double checked. Is that what that means?
Speaker 1:hand that in to the teacher but I do agree with you that men do need to grow up yeah, for sure, cause that was childish and this will be the last episode of these folks and she cause I gonna keep putting up and this will be the last episode.
Speaker 1:Because I ain't going to keep putting up with this. But no, because just a lot of conversations between men need to be had and they don't need to go back to the community of women, they don't even need to know that we had those conversations. But just for you to know that it's okay, for you to know that it's happening to a lot of us, for you to know that you're not having these conversations with men, I don't understand why so many men are so uncomfortable having certain conversations.
Speaker 2:I've seen this guy on TikTok, I think yesterday or this morning, and he was saying that his friend texted the big text group that something about his hemorrhoid. But the point of the TikTok was like if you ain't having these conversations with your friends, are y'all really friends? Because why you texting me about your hemorrhoids? But for Because? Why are you texting me about your hemorrhoids? But for real, thank you for texting me about your hemorrhoids.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because the thing is how I just laughed and like you were starting to say, I don't understand it either, Because I'm a man and I will laugh if you tell me that.
Speaker 2:But I was like it's not funny but you just hit me.
Speaker 1:Right and I and I know where, but like what's going on right and so I I don't understand it either, but that's what I'm saying talk to other men, because just that little break of tension is gonna make you feel better about coming to somebody about it because Talena sent me a tiktok of a guy doing something and I was like Talena, I'm so wet right now but I didn't feel no terrible way about saying it.
Speaker 2:But I know if Alvin read that he'd be. Why are you saying that to her? But that is one of my best friends, if not my best friend.
Speaker 1:But I think it's that Like he won't talk to his friends or say shit, like like bro, I saw this. I mean she was bad, my dick normal.
Speaker 2:Right, right.
Speaker 1:Like you know, I'm not gay. I'm talking about a problem.
Speaker 2:Right Like the pause. Shit is annoying. No, it is very annoying. If you don't know me well enough to know that I'm not gay, I don't need to like why am? I pausing every five seconds within our conversation. Right, right, are you gay? Like what's going on? Is there something you want to tell me, right?
Speaker 1:Nah. I definitely agree though I definitely agree, though I definitely agree.
Speaker 2:I feel like there is. It all comes back to y'all need to grow up, and not just men, but people need to grow up. We need to start checking in on our men, especially our Black men.
Speaker 1:A lot more.
Speaker 2:Our Black men? I mean, yeah, for sure, definitely Not. You, our Black men, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean yeah for sure. Definitely Not you, our Black man.
Speaker 2:I'll be like why do I even say anything to her? I said it to you.
Speaker 1:our Black man Walked right into it For real, and I know it's the month that we're bringing awareness to it, but take care of yourself every month, every day of the year. You're important.
Speaker 2:I want you to know you're important. I want you to know I'm proud of you right now because you woke up.
Speaker 1:It's hard, I know, and even if I just say it's hard, being a man, people are like I know, I understand, I get it, bro. I'm proud of you. That's what I got on that.
Speaker 2:I don't remember what our other topic was.
Speaker 1:That's because you don't be paying attention. We get together two days before every episode and we get this planning together, got the whole group and everything going together, and then she just show up like what we talking about. So you are a mom, I'll give you passes. I gotta tell you something. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:This whole podcast is a lie, is it? I smoke every day.
Speaker 1:That's why you can't remember. I don't know what we be talking about. I think my brain is a real thing.
Speaker 2:I don't, you don't. No, I have the capacity to remember a lot. I just know that you're going to and I do that on purpose, okay. I mean not specifically this with stuff.
Speaker 1:Good thing to hear.
Speaker 2:If I know somebody else is going to remember it, like if it's something that Alvin is excited about and cares about, he'll remember it. So I take a mental note of that. I don't need to remember this. He's going good.
Speaker 1:I got 50,000 other things to remember, Right right, I feel that, but I do think my brain is. I don't.
Speaker 2:I think it's some excuse. Let me differ on that, because women just have the ability to remember shit. You can remember everything Susie told you at lunch last year. I'll be feeling like At 12 o'clock.
Speaker 1:I'll be feeling like they're picking truths, but that's just me and that's a different time.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:But now we going into I don't know.
Speaker 2:How are we going into I?
Speaker 1:don't know.
Speaker 2:I know, remember when.
Speaker 1:Oh, remember when the kids shows that was on TV was actually teaching you something as well as entertaining. Yeah, do you remember what? You know what's crazy to me? I forgot what was on. I mean, I forgot what was on, but no, maybe Lil D or Eric was in the back watching something on their phone but we just heard like glimpses of the song Because it's supposed to be teaching them and we're like this isn't saying anything. Yeah, it was like ha ha ha, papa put like it was something about like making lunch.
Speaker 2:Like Baby Shark.
Speaker 1:You just told the members of a family Like that's it, and that was the biggest kid song ever.
Speaker 2:And I, to this day, cannot figure that out, Because one it's fucking annoying. My kids was not allowed to listen or watch. I don't even know where it came from.
Speaker 1:But for the longest time I did not know. It was just a song, like it had to be out for probably like six to eight months. And then I just asked the parent. I was like so what TV show or movie is it? They're like six to eight months. And then I just asked a parent. I was like so like what TV show or movie is it? They're like no, it's like the song.
Speaker 2:I was like I know, but like it's a thing, Is it from a YouTube channel?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I was like it's like a theme song of a TV show or like a movie right now, like no, it's just.
Speaker 2:And see shit like that irrit. I was like are you kidding that? These little kids is out here making billions of dollars off of stupid stuff. Like my kid, I do not support what's his name, ryan, ryan's world.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Ryan's toys. But see, and that's why I feel like a lot of kids' things are just to pacify them yeah. You just sit them in front of it and it just pacify them and even, like I was saying, with men and I know that's a men and women thing but being more present, just knowing what they're tuning into, knowing what they're watching. I don't know if you remember it was that clown thing that was telling kids to go in their parents' room and kill them at night, or something like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, slenderman or something, but I'm like this is because y'all not paying attention to shit they're watching.
Speaker 2:And apparently two middle school girls killed a friend, had her come over and put her in a Like, convinced her to walk out to the woods or something, and they stabbed her to death Because Slenderman said to Now y'all didn't. Now all three of these girls' lives is gone because the two was in prison and the little girl is gone. And for what?
Speaker 1:Bro, because of this child channel Like and I hate how it's become about views Like even if it's not that bad. It's not feeding these kids. It's, like I said, just to pacify them, and your only reason for making this and taking advantage of that was to make some money. Get some views.
Speaker 2:Get some views to like yeah, because my kids sincerely think that the way that these youtube families and youtube kids be online is like legit life, like that's just real as it gets Little. Do my kids understand and your kids understand that they Airbnb in these houses? Yeah, they are going to somebody they know house filming. Mm-hmm, it ain't until they get the millions of views that they are paying for stuff on their own. My kids are so delusional that they like I don't think it's just yours, no.
Speaker 2:I know it's not just mine, but like when I see a two-year-old being handed a phone, I just be like what are we doing?
Speaker 1:They don't got rattles, no more.
Speaker 2:They don't care about you Because none of the kids stuff. The programs are, like you said, educational. The shows that we grew up watching Blue's Clues was teaching you how to have an imagination and find things.
Speaker 1:Go, hunt that scavenger how to write a letter. We were talking about the Wiggles. The Wiggles Fruit salad.
Speaker 2:Yummy, yummy Fruit salad.
Speaker 1:It wasn't just that.
Speaker 2:Yummy, yummy fruit salad.
Speaker 1:I mean, like today's time, it would just be that. But then I'd be like how the fuck do you make a fruit salad? Right, right, but at least they taught you how to build it, what to put it Like. That's what's missing so much, and if you're not vigilant with what your kids is consuming, the backyardyardigans.
Speaker 2:Where are your friends? The Backyardigans? Because, why, because, why are you? I was watching that my senior year of high school, yo.
Speaker 1:The thing is I'm not ashamed to say kids shows. I was still. Do you remember, maybe a year or two ago now, steve from Blue's Clues I think it might have been after the pandemic and he had just made this video? He's like, hey, but he did it like how he used to do on Blue's Clues. He's like, hey, friends, I know it's been rough out there, but you don't understand the calmness it gave me.
Speaker 2:I was just like like the five seconds of needing to change every like y'all want kids attention spans to be a glance like of nothing and it's like how can you expect them to be able to have a long lasting career in anything when you want them to believe that everything?
Speaker 1:is supposed to happen. It just happens like that, but they don't want to put the work in, and I'm not even going to say it's just kids.
Speaker 2:That shit be working on me. That shit be working on me, Because I'll be starting stuff and I'll be like I'm not done yet. I've been doing this for 10 seconds. I'm not done yet. I've been doing this for 10 seconds.
Speaker 1:I'm not done yet and you think that it's supposed to happen. But even understanding, because it's things like kids, shows and stuff that they have taught you the process of things, Right.
Speaker 2:That taught you.
Speaker 1:Right, it might take a while.
Speaker 2:You might be here working on this If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, not today, if you don't get it try, not today.
Speaker 1:If you don't get it, try something else. What Give up?
Speaker 2:Go, cry about it to everybody that you Go ask mom to buy you a new Xbox.
Speaker 1:I will see kids losing their minds if they don't get something on the first try, and I'll be like it's okay, it's really all right, it is okay, you'll be fine, you don't have to, and they just. I'll be like you don't have to and they just. I was like I don't know what to do. Right, and maybe that's because I don't have kids and I don't get it yet, but I'm like I don't know what to do with it?
Speaker 2:I think, I don't know. I think that society is just trying to ruin the human society. The human, I think, media, human beings, what is it? Human beings? No, that's not what I was trying to say, but yeah, you know what I mean the consciousness. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I think they're trying to poison it. For sure and I won't say it's intentionally Some of it I was going to say some of it is sub, but for sure most of it. You know what you're doing, because you never went into this with the kids in mind. Yeah, did you ever watch that Reading Rainbow documentary?
Speaker 2:No, I saw it yesterday and I'm into turning it on, but I was working on that stuff.
Speaker 1:It reminds you of a group of people who really cared about this.
Speaker 2:I did start it, but not yesterday.
Speaker 1:Once you see how much they cared about that show that's what's missing.
Speaker 2:I love a good book, don't get me wrong. I love a good book, but I ain't crazy about reading.
Speaker 1:But that's the thing it gave you a reason to be.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It gave you a reason to be. You know, I really don't remember reading Rainbow.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I watched it. I remember it when I see it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, when I see it, it's obviously Because I know I ain't seen it.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, that shit was on for decades, was it? Yeah? On PBS, yes, and then at one point they tried to cut public funding for it and he went-.
Speaker 2:Ain't PBS public broadcasting sir.
Speaker 1:But the government pays for it. It's public funding, and so they tried to cut it.
Speaker 2:Just cut that out of the public.
Speaker 1:He went and gave a speech to the Congress and capped it off. I think it would have been like another five years or something like that. Wow, but just eventually. Once again because of where we're at now, because of what was happening to media kids like they just thought that was not necessary.
Speaker 2:And I don't get that At all Because, like even with backyardigans, the they're going to outer space.
Speaker 1:Right. The basis of the show is to teach you how to use your imagination.
Speaker 2:These kids are literally in their backyard in a museum. Yes, lost in a maze.
Speaker 1:You know what's so crazy Like? As a kid, I remember doing things like that.
Speaker 2:And I feel like my kids have no imagination.
Speaker 1:Like if I got two trees in my backyard. Oh, it's a wrap, it's a wrap. You know how much I could do with that.
Speaker 2:Don't give me a slide, because I'm no longer in Michigan.
Speaker 1:And that's what I was even saying. I mean, like meeting a lot of young people. Travel is only for like I want to show up for social media and it's the same.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know Different place.
Speaker 1:He was going to the pyramids, he was going to the Sahara, he was going to the Arena Rainbow. Yeah. Like showing kids certain books, yeah, and showing you like this is what the whole world has to offer.
Speaker 2:Get out and go explore that, go do something like that, just like read by three used to be a thing, so you had to be able to read third grade level by third grade. That's not a thing, no more. Spelling test not a thing, no more.
Speaker 1:Really, the only thing that I knew wasn't a thing, was cursive, and I was had to hear that go.
Speaker 2:I was like how?
Speaker 1:did you learn to sign?
Speaker 2:in. Fuck all that. What you taking them to museums for if they don't have to learn how to write in cursive? They can't read nothing. Everything was in cursive. You can't read not one historical document if you don't know how to write in cursive.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2:And I know how to write in cursive, and it's still hard to read historical documents Because people's penmanship Was outrageous.
Speaker 1:That's why it needs to be. I'm telling you, remember when kids Remember when life was simple. That's really the problem. I won't say life was.
Speaker 2:It was for kids. Oh for kids, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I would definitely say that we're putting way too much on them. Yeah, way too much of a young age.
Speaker 2:Because kids now are just feeling like if they don't have the latest Xbox then they are just not cool. When before you used to be the coolest thing. If you could imagine what game we was playing right.
Speaker 1:Right, and don't get me wrong, I do see the benefits of gaming, but I think, just like tv, it needs to be monitored, like because that could be in, I mean.
Speaker 2:I see the benefits you can have that as a career?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, coming from game development and you have to know how STEM is a huge part of gaming. We went to a science museum in St Louis and there was an entire gaming room, huge gaming floor, and it tells you how math and science and reading and everything is important to be able to create a game, to be able to play a game. I think what's missing is that graphics and AI and everything has become so deep in gaming that it's eliminating the creative part of it.
Speaker 2:Kids aren't allowed or aren't having. Yeah, they're not having the imagination right for that. Right, gotcha, gotcha, yeah, yeah, I agree, like everything is being done for you, whereas, like before, when we would play games, you'd have to get to a certain part, part of the game to be able to create. Create another part of the game like what was it? Uh, laura croft.
Speaker 1:Tomb Raider.
Speaker 2:I didn't play the actual game, I just did the roaming around the mansion. But I had a blast every time I did it. You're figuring things out to do there.
Speaker 1:My kids would be pissed if I told them they had to play that. There wouldn't be enough, or if you told them that you just have to stay in the mansion.
Speaker 2:Right, just stay in the mansion and play for an hour. They would be very upset. Like what am I supposed to do with this? Do you know? I had a whole life story for Laura. She wasn't even Laurie, no more. Like she wasn't Laurie, no more. She wasn't who she thought she was.
Speaker 1:You gave her a new name and everything.
Speaker 2:Her life was something else, and I feel it because why not just like what's it? The Resident Evil? I don't know how to play that.
Speaker 1:I'm walking around trying to figure out how to get just stay away from the zombies but even that game I've seen the difference between, especially from then to what it is now me I don't really enjoy them now, like I've seen the difference between, especially from then to what it is now.
Speaker 2:Me, I don't really enjoy them now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I tried to play recently. There's not as many puzzles, yeah, there's not as many things to just solve, because it's just push the button, it's just, oh, no, it's just an action game, yeah, like, and I'm like, I don't even get scared from it. It's not evil. Yeah, but and I think it's that I truly, truly believe it starts with the, at least from the ages of like three, no, birth to six. It's so important to, because I remember so what I remember so much from my childhood that I see it the lyrics come back, yeah, the details of everything come back, and I'm just like Like a certain song can just take you somewhere.
Speaker 1:I don't think it's going to be like that. Oh for sure.
Speaker 2:One music comes out way too fast today. Way too fast, mm-hmm. By no means am I saying Chris Brown, you need to stop, but Chris Brown, you need to stop, you need to stop. 11 albums.
Speaker 1:But even that, like the songs are two and a half minutes, like you don't even give me time to take me on a ride Right To feel it.
Speaker 2:And everybody's falling into that, because, I mean, I know that there are some people who aren't into that. Some people really love the four minute R&B soul. Give me a bridge, give me a breakdown. We do need that.
Speaker 1:I feel like it.
Speaker 2:I feel like people are getting way too bored too fast.
Speaker 1:But if your album is a half hour, yeah, we got a problem. What kind of concert are you giving we?
Speaker 2:got a problem. We got a serious problem. If I can't jam out to you for a good hour and a half, and, yeah, I don't know Imagination creation.
Speaker 1:It all comes from or stems from that, and I think you can see it in everything now. Yeah, in all aspects, like especially the generation transition. It's so crazy, so nuts.
Speaker 2:You see it in literally everything, Like new houses be built slantly. And I'll be like, why did y'all work so fast? Like what are we doing? Didn't you want this to be?
Speaker 1:right, or it's just having pace Right, everything is going out of street, all the houses, yeah. I'm going out of street, all the houses.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I'm like we didn't try very hard. Yeah, that's like on Stuck in the Suburbs, that Disney movie. Yeah, when the mom was taking the girl home and she kept going to the wrong house and she's like.
Speaker 1:and then the aerial view showed all the houses.
Speaker 2:All the houses look exactly the same.
Speaker 1:That's where we're at now, guys, not me, and I believe that we can do better.
Speaker 2:Oh, for sure.
Speaker 1:And the reason I say we. She say not me. I say we because I am of this world. As much as I try to grow and progress, I know I'm still doing some shit, so I like even having these conversations. What do you mean? So I can get better?
Speaker 2:Like you're doing things to make the world worse.
Speaker 1:Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know the hell, do you think you?
Speaker 1:know I was going to say we haven't ran into a conversation like that yet, but like you going around paying some people?
Speaker 2:What are you doing? What are you doing to make the world worse? I feel like I would make the world better.
Speaker 1:A lot more people might smile and laugh. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2:A lot more people might smile and laugh nah, a lot of people don't wear underwear anymore, you right and I ain't trying to see it but a lot of y'all, yeah, cause is this becoming you right?
Speaker 1:And I ain't trying to see it, but a lot of y'all get it. Yeah, because mm-mm.
Speaker 2:Is this becoming a thing? I don't wear underwear, but that's none of your business. Why y'all not wearing underwear?
Speaker 1:I guess that's exactly what I mean. I'm not going to be the person that say it's none of your business, I'm doing it too. So I'm going to just ask myself that question, because then maybe I'm answering it for them why are you doing it? Why am I not wearing underwear? I don't want to know, but I'm just saying that there's your answer for why they're not there. I don't, you don't know. So I don't want to be that person. That's what I'm saying. I love this world, I, and I don't know what's bad or no.
Speaker 2:I'm not consciously trying to no, I don't think you're conscious.
Speaker 1:I don't think that's bad to the world, but you know, I'm just saying I do some things that we talk about who knows, you're right.
Speaker 2:It might actually I mean, it might be destroying somebody's business for us not to be wearing underwear good rubbing up against that rough cotton and shit.
Speaker 1:You better get it together. Why do you wear rough cotton? Jeans is rough cotton, and if you ain't wearing no drawers with that, yeah, it's uncomfortable to me, Huh, it's comfortable to me.
Speaker 2:I can't. What's popping brother? Somebody literally asked me that the other day.
Speaker 1:How could that be?
Speaker 2:It's comfortable, I like wearing jeans. Je Could that be. It's comfortable, I like wearing jeans. Jeans be uncomfortable.
Speaker 1:Underwear are uncomfortable, but even if I'm wearing jeans for too long and they start rubbing against my leg, hairs and shit. That's uncomfortable, so I could only imagine.
Speaker 2:I mean, I've been staying up all my shaving.
Speaker 1:I'm shaving just my left leg, so I was like you're a special type of person, because that that does not sound nowhere near comfortable jeans are comfortable but if they're the right size, but I was like make a difference too. Bobby has been noticing like the difference in like cotton boxers from silk boxers and like I gotta wear something that's actually smooth.
Speaker 2:I'm only wearing underwear if I'm on my menstrual.
Speaker 1:I have to, I mean, but me personally I don't mind when women don't.
Speaker 2:I just don't see the point. Why are you putting that extra layer of clothing on? First of all, you're sweating more.
Speaker 1:Now, that is true, it's always yeah, you're bringing yourself more. Yeah, yeah, I agree Closing off. Right, right right.
Speaker 2:I feel like I break out more when I wear underwear. Oh really, because you're suffocating yourself.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, more is getting more. Yeah, I can feel that, I can feel that. I can feel that I'm also one for the Free, the Nipple movement. I'm all for that, ladies.
Speaker 2:I am for it, but I can't do that. I don't look right in clothes without a bra on. That's fine, but ladies or you mean walking around with no shirt on- no, you need a shirt.
Speaker 1:I'm not. No, you need a shirt. I'm not definitely with a shirt on cause, like even dudes when they be doing why, though, if you don't have to wear a shirt, why we gotta wear one?
Speaker 1:but that's what I was just gonna say. There's only specific times that I'm taking my shirt off and I'm lying my shirt off. I'm lying, exactly, I'll take it. No, I'm not lying, but I'll take every advantage I can to take off my shirt, but that's because I'm staying fit. Now, that's just personal opinion on why my shirt's coming off. But for everybody else, y'all at least just try to do it at appropriate times and I I am actually in agreeance with you. I don't see the difference because, like once, I do have kids and I hope my and I hope the woman that she was gonna be. Like we're gonna not make a deal that they're just boobs yeah they're.
Speaker 1:That's it, because they're there to feed.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Because me or you.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:No, but like it's just, every woman has them.
Speaker 2:It's nothing special because I don't cover up around my kids. Now, if they don't want to see me, I'm not going to make them be like look at me, yeah, obviously, but I don't cover. I don't purposely be like oh my gosh, william's coming. I don't cover. I don't purposely be like oh my gosh, william's coming. Like I don't want them to believe that my body is a sexual thing. It is just a body and I'm not going to be like William, let me see you naked, because he's getting to a point where he don't want to be. He don't walk around naked like the rest of us, no more. Like, when he gets out of the shower he's in a towel or his underwear, right, right. The rest of the boys are still like running for it, free-balling, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But, I just, and I'm like that to this day, like I've never stopped being that, but I know when it's appropriate to close on it Right right, Obviously, if there's some women out there with egg huffs that ain't much bigger than me and I'm like it's no, she still has boobs, right. But you can see that it's just a natural thing that women have, right. Every woman has it. It's nothing special, but to feed you when you got here.
Speaker 2:Right yeah, and the people being disgusted by somebody feeding in public. I've never understood that Roll the fuck up.
Speaker 1:I've never understood that, because what you mean? So you mad, this baby got to eat you out in public eating. This baby can't be out in public eating. I'm see, but that's what I'm saying. They're just here to and all of us have to do it. I what I'm saying. They're just here to, and all of us have to do it.
Speaker 2:I think I'm a problem because I just got the dumbest idea.
Speaker 1:Come on a restaurant.
Speaker 2:To walk out to like I don't know if we have any downtown where you can, yeah, we do. Where you can eat outside, Just walk down. Can y'all cover up please? Why y'all eating out in public like that?
Speaker 1:But you can't do that unless they're the type of people Nope, I'm gonna just do it oh my gosh and have somebody record me. Yeah, I was gonna say, because that's how uncomfortable y'all be making these women, right, like we gotta start making everybody uncomfortable then, because that's literally all it is Because?
Speaker 2:did you hear me when we went to Denny's the other day? No, I was like I'm wild. Oh, okay, that's what I said. I thought I said it loud enough for everybody to hear me, but I never explained why I said it. When we walked in, there was a little girl of the Caucasian persuasion and she was just staring real hard. I don't know what she was thinking, but face was reading. Man, that's a lot of people.
Speaker 2:So I started staring back at her like I'm infamous for that shit she turned around so quick, like first of all, teach your kids to stop staring, cause that's rude. Staring is rude. I don't know why y'all don't know this by now. And two, I don't know why y'all don't know this by now. And two, I don't know what makes especially white people.
Speaker 1:You're not going to say nothing while you're staring at me.
Speaker 2:Right. My thing is, I don't know what makes y'all think. It's almost like how a parent I don't know if white people do this, but black parents will look at their kid and the kid just knows to stop. I know if white people do this, but black parents will look at their kid and the kid just knows to stop. I feel like white people think they're doing that to the world, but you're nobody's mom over here. Oh yeah, they think they got weight. Yeah, like they believe that they've given us the look. I will stare you down too. What do you mean? I believe and I don't know why I think those are equal, but that's what it reminds me of. Like, when I see not just white people but mostly white people staring at me, I just be like do you think you about to stop me from doing what I'm doing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, because I'm not. No, I feel that. I definitely feel that, but that's something this world has to work on. I mean and you know who you are you got to work on that Because we can all get better.
Speaker 2:Can we? I be thinking we can.
Speaker 1:I do believe some people are a lost cause, but that's for a different day, a different time. And you know I'm feeling fine. So how are you feeling now?
Speaker 2:I'm good now. I think I felt it for like two seconds.
Speaker 1:I know I was going to say there was a point where I thought we was about to lose you. Yeah, I was about to be like damn, we gave it to him.
Speaker 2:I think for a minute it had me like tired, more tired than I would be after I eat something, because I get tired whenever I eat, right, but it like bitch, you got to go to sleep.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that could have been the drops of sativa bringing you back up yeah probably Because I was and you didn't do as much as I up. Yeah, probably Because I was so buzzed and you didn't do as much as I did.
Speaker 2:I did 10 drops. You did more than that I did like 30. Okay, because I was going to take a sip of yours and then I thought about it like he did put a lot in there.
Speaker 1:And I ain't trying to be like.
Speaker 2:Because I'm feeling buzzed, but I'm up, yeah, I. So you probably just evened out from both, maybe. So, whatever it was that I was feeling, I didn't like it. Oh, I don't like the feeling of being high okay it makes me feel nauseous and tired and out of it gotcha, I would rather be drunk, you're disgusting people are always really surprised as to like I hate the smell of weed.
Speaker 2:I'd rather smell like cigarettes. Um, are always really surprised as to like I hate the smell of weed, I'd rather smell cigarettes. I would rather be drunk than to be high, Like just the normal things that people try to get away from. I would rather experience that. If I ever tried heroin, I might like it more than being high.
Speaker 1:You really are a different type and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:it don't scare me, but I do be like I wonder how I would be on certain drugs, like stuff that people get super addicted to. I don't think that would happen to me. I think I would try it and be like, eh, not my thing, or oh, I did like that, I'll try it again. But I don't think I would ever get like shh, shh, shh, I don't get that. I don't get it. I could see it out of you. Huh, you think I would.
Speaker 1:I was going to say yeah, I could, but I was like eh, nah, I can see what I do Getting hot and getting addicted.
Speaker 2:You think I would get addicted. I mean, we're not going to find out, but Right, right, we don't need you Please don't.
Speaker 1:But nah, I feel that you really are a different type, bro, for real.
Speaker 2:And I don't know why, but I think I can talk myself out of feelings.
Speaker 1:That's a real thing and I know you be doing it Uh-huh, because you can talk yourself out of getting drunk because we've been around and I'm no-be drinking a lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I just be like how the fuck is she? Because my mind be like you still got to drive home, oh yeah, you got four kids who going to? Be in the car with you, you still wake up with a hangover, get there and I'll be like, oh, I got it. And then I almost like fall into my drunk.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, because I've had that not knowing what I was doing, like talking myself out of it throughout the whole night.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but.
Speaker 1:I've had that and I woke up like why the fuck am I feeling like this? I wasn't drunk last night.
Speaker 2:Yeah, only because I've blacked out before and I don't like that. I never knew that though yeah, in high school I think it was my first time drinking.
Speaker 1:Oh, we're going to have to talk about that some other time. I got to hear that one. I got to hear that one. It was bad. So that's the review on the food.
Speaker 2:The food was delicious.
Speaker 1:On top of that, Lady Jiboy can throw down in the kitchen.
Speaker 2:He can.
Speaker 1:That was slick as hell because I was straight on.
Speaker 2:I was like, okay, and once again I don't know why I even be wanting so, yep, that was the fishy food okay, the food was good, but I, if you don't like the taste of weed, you're not going to like the aftertaste, because I started to taste it afterwards. Oh, but that's why you kept on needing something to drink yeah, but I will say it could be just the ice cream okay, oh yeah, we ate yeah.
Speaker 2:So if I probably just ate the shrimp and steak, I probably wouldn't be tasting it like having an aftertaste. But I'm not sure I'm going to blame the ice cream, I'm just I feel like it is the ice cream I'm going to let you have it because I was feeling good the whole way through.
Speaker 2:That too could have messed up my high tasting it, yeah, feeling like it was in my mouth, yeah, but I think it was good. You got the information, yeah, okay, so we're going to. But I think it was good, so I don't. You got the information, or? Yeah, okay, so we gonna post that stuff. Y'all gonna find out where you can get it from, where you can order it.
