Oh wait, you want to say together the Decisions Decisions.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
The book is out. The book is out. Maybe you
can now go get no holes bar. It is available.
We have made it to that day.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
We're literally on the day of recording.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
You guys know this is not our jam, but we
have been flying and traveling so much it was only
right to do a super fresh episode only a day late.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
But it's such a special day for us.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I think one of the biggest days, if not the
biggest day of our entire careers. A friend of mine
sent us the photo in Calabasas. First of all, we've
been puffing all these black old stores. Tell me what,
Calabas Let's put our motherfucker book on the shelf early
and they're not the white got a goddamn book out.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
First of all, I was like, who's tricking on you?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
In Calaba's death that I really wanted to know what
you lived at Calabs But it was amazing to see
and it was like, yeah, it was right in the front.
And I always when I go to a bookstore and
I'll see the books in the fight, I always wonder, why,
oh who are they? Is a special so it'll be
so cool to just see everybody's share and please we're
reposting like we are re close when you walk in
a store and see it tag us, because it's surreal

(01:25):
to me, Like I I don't know. I never really
thought for a second when we were writing the book
that I could just be walking in and grabbing it
and taking photos where they're like having a tangible thing
in my hand. I didn't actually see it the hard
copy until Mandy came to the South of France and
we just yeah, we just left can Lions. It's Can, y'all.

(01:47):
I know y'all haven't seen everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
It is not Con. It is not Kansa. It's not Cannics.
It is Can.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think it might not gone. It's not Cone. It's
not Cone.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
It's not Gone.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
When French people say, they don't say can no, it's
can Lions. It's can't. Oh they can? You know, I
don't know how did friends we listen?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Friends is like my least favorite place, but the South
of France is one of my favorite places to go,
but I think it's only because it's full of Americans
that week. So I had a wonderful time. Tuesday, I
brought the book because we had dinner with our iHeart family.
It was all the exact black effect was there. So
Dolly and Charlemagne was there, Malcolm Gladwell was there, Questlove

(02:28):
was there. Shout out to them, and we was there.
How we got to invite y'all, listen, we want other
negroes and half I say that, they said, hey not,
just bring one and they put us in, you know,
all together. But it was crazy just to think these
are the people that are being celebrated with iHeart just this.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
You know. It was a very small dinner.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
It wasn't like they were honoring all of iHeart shit
last clone, no, no, no, no, it was. It was two
tables and we was a part of them. Two tables.
It was a good time. I brought the book. It
was Weezy's first time seeing the hardcover, like, and it's
really dope. Our pictures bitch right down in the bag.
It's cute or whatever. So I brought it and Weezy
got to see it for the first time. We ended

(03:08):
up uh being able to talk about like just what
it was like writing the book, and we the in
true weezy fashion, brought my future wife up with us.
If y'all my future wife, let me tell y'all a
story we.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Ain't never heard of one. No, let let me let me.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Tell y'all a story. And I'm not a lot of
Latino pus. I am gonna share love latinas I love
women I date. The only type of woman I haven't
been with was a white woman.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
I feel like that's literally it.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I haven't been with a white woman. I have been
with a lot of motherfucker carry I loved in Miami. Okay,
carry on, man, listen, I'm actually gonna share a story
because I have a question. So I'm gonna share the
Latino puss that I had in Miami one time that
didn't make the book.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Anyways.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
So we get into the iHeart Cafe, I'm talking with everyone.
I go to set the book down because we have
a signed seating. So I go to set the book
down and all my way back to go join Will
and Charlotte, Dolly, Me and Eva catch eye mind you.
Eva's talking to like a group of people. Eva is,
by the way, gorgeous. So literally I'm walking back and

(04:17):
I had to pass Eva. Me and Eva lock eyes.
Then she stops talking to the people and it's like,
oh my god, hey, bitch embraces me, and I was like,
does she see my clip online?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Does she know who I am? Or she just gonna
do that. I'm like, do you love me? No, I'm
not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Normally were we these like everyone's flirting with her, bitch.
I don't care how if she was or not. I'm
saying evil on Glory was flirting with me. So anyway,
she goes and she embraces me and gives me a hug,
and she's like, so good to see you. And I
was like, bitch, good to see you. Okay, I just
say it like that, but I just smiled.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I was nice.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
So as soon as I leave her, bitch, you would
have thought I just met god bitch, I was like.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
My heart was beating like a little.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Fast, and I was like, so you're a little social
hold on, she's thumping, heart pumping. So I go over
to Charla and I'm like, I want her, I said,
and she knows me.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Don't know how she knows me or don't know if
she was just being nice, but she stopped.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Talking to the people embraced me, and I was like,
I didn't know I loved evl loungoride like this, I
ain't gonna hold you.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
She had that energy. She had that energy.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
So anyways, I go and I'm like, y'all, I'm sliding
in them gms. When I tell you, Charlotte. Everyone was like,
don't you do that. I was like, don't you slide
on her? Dem don't And I was like, could I
do it? Just real nicely, like let me do it.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
He's like, don't slide in Evil Loungaria DM. I said, fine.
So we're the last to speak at this I Heeart
dinner and we go up. I'm holding the book and
I immediately go.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
And shout out that I don't that it's fucked them
kids for life.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
This is mine.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
He was speech in front of all the execs and everything,
and I pretty much shout out Charlamagne for being my
baby daddy. I guess we're kind of in a thruffle
cause I'm like, Charlot, I don't want kids, but you
allowing us on this journey to write a book. This
is now my baby, this is my legacy, and I
want to thank you. So we start talking about the book.
We might as well have been sexy read a second
we started talking about so we're like, we're like, ooh,

(06:09):
it's ronchy is this? So Will asked the question and
we reposed a question. Weezy said, here's a good question
to ask us. If anybody could read the book, who
would you want to read it? So Weezy go ahead
and share your part. So while we're up there, we're
basically speaking to people in between courses. So as each
course come out, they have like a different piece of

(06:30):
I heart talent coming out. So Malcolm spoke, Quest spoke,
Charlis poke, and then white folks and then us.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
So once I get up.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
There, I said, well, even though I would love to
see Malcolm Gladwell's face reading the world word pussy out
of our book, I'm going to go with Eva Longoria
because I read once in an article that she said
she was irritated that men don't know how to please women.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
But she looked like I said, and I said, smile.
She smiled. Maybe She's like.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Maybe I said that, And I was like, yeah, I
love her to read our book. So she gets off,
she get up.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
We don't know she she gets up and comes and
joins us. I've just met. Like, oh, well, we'll get
you a book, girl. No.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
She she stands up, smiling and joins us in front
of everyone, and here go Weezy impum two. If you've
been listening to the pod anytime we had a guest,
Weezy was like, pick a number from zero too, So no,
from one to three hundred, and she's like, okay, Eva
Longoria says fifteen. I was like, I don't think. I

(07:34):
don't think anyone has picked a number that long.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Fifteen is like yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
I was like, oh, I hope, I said, it's usually
forty plus.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
You know, it's crazy. So that's when I as soon
as she says fifteen, I was like, let me read
you what's on page fifteen, y'all, which, by the way,
the start of page fifteen was a dud for a second.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Oh no, no, no, no, first words. The first words.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
The first words are the only thing that can seal
me up. And I was like, okay, this is about
to turn up. So then we try to find you know,
obviously a good entry point for it so I'm like, okay, Eva,
this is about masturbation. Masturbation can release sexual tension. So
that's what she That's what she read. No, so you
are something said dump the thumb thump is now the

(08:18):
sound of my heart pounding after I've come.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
This is what she read alone and satisfy. Satisfied tells
you this is when people starting to take their phones out. Bro.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
So she literally is is thump thump thumping. Like reading
that sentence, Eva goes, oh my god, let me read.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
So Luckily there's those bullet points.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
And so in front of all these execs, we have
Eva Longoria read the benefits of masturbation at dinner.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
It was so good. It came up to shar and
I said, do you remember when you sniffed j Low's chair? Oh? God,
that's how I feel.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Mike was right there, I know, he was like, wait,
we got to get into some key that happened and
can I wasn't really a part of it, but we
saw in the breakfast the whole thing with Blake Lee Thornton.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I just talked to Sean about my thoughts on it.
But I know that's your friends, so gonna be nice.
So because I was like, oh, no, he didn't.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
I didn't. We should talk about that etiquette too, because
I think he was wrong. You feel listen to that situation,
I don't think. Oh okay, so let's talk about it. Okay.
So we're head that doesn't know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
So I don't know him well, but I'm a fan
and I actually wanted to produce his pod back in
the day. We were gonna makebe figure out if he
would make a solo one. Now shout out to Blakelee Thornton.
He's a really dope influencer and he covered the met
gala carpet. That's how a lot of people recently found him.
So uh shared a store. We were supposed to do
their pod.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Now was week that was whose podcast it was? So
I don't know him. So long story short.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
We are hanging out on Wednesday night and can club.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Oh no.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
His wife was like, I can't never get him to
go out, but he might go to the dec D
Nights party. I'm like, fuck it, let's go out. We
meet up with Debbie's Brown birthday. Should we have a
little dinner. We walk across the street to Club Quarantine,
which d Nice does every year in Dan and basically
he redes his thing.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
He did on IG.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
When we first walked in, it was a little bit oldheadish.
It was like just oldies.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
I will say. Mary J.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Blige walked in and that did peque my interest. I
was like, oh, but it was just like, you know, old.
But then it started getting young and cool.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
So for some.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Reason, for some reason, people were being brought to different tables.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
JB.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Smooth or No One. If you don't know who that is,
he was in curb your enthusiasm.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
He's black, dude.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
People brought someone brought Lucky Day, Steve Stout came over.
People kept being brought to Charlotte's section. Now, everything during
Canned Week is this long in the week is free
except for bottle service. But all the cocktails were free, right,
but not bottle service. So that it's very it's very

(10:52):
important it is. But I don't know if I would
have known that. So let me elaborate. Blakely did not
walk into the section. He was brought into the section. Blakelee,
by the way, is a man. Just want to add
that context. He was brought into the section.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Again.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't know why that was happening. He's not lying
about that. Now, me and Nina Park are sitting together.
We're saying, hey, we're chatting it out with Blakelee. Whatever
bottles come out.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I didn't see this.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'm repeating what I heard what Charlotte name Blakeley said
on their instagram. Huh, Charlotte does buy bottles of Dom,
and I remember he came over to me. He goes,
what do you want to drink three at t'sy hundred
dollars a piece? Yes, he said, do you want vodka
at tequila? I said, I'm not drinking as a matter
of fact, because my man wants tequila.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
But don't even buy anything. We'll go to the bar.
It's free.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
He just gets the Dom for him, Dolly and his wife.
Blake Lee has a toast with everybody. I don't see
this because I really think Crystal Waters was on and
I was in my household. So i get on my
phone still in France, and I'm seeing Charlotte man hit
me like I'm homophobic now, and I'm like, yes, what's

(12:07):
going on? So Blake Lee basically is like Charlotte said
to me, you know you're drinking my bottles?

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Dog and Blake Lee was wearing thigh high boots.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yep, they were flat, they weren't heels, and he said
he was being homophobic for doing that.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I hated that. Then he said shout out and I
was like.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Ah, So Charlotte responded on the Bronx, No, I'm brilliant
Idiots club. I watched a breakfast I watched his brilliant idiots,
he said with justin envy, and baby gave me doc
here of the day. It wasn't like a dog. I
don't think it was doc here the day. But he
was like, how am I homophobic?

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Et cetera. I agree. Blakelee hit me like, yo, are
you good? Like are we good? Or over this?

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm like, it was a breakfast court, breakfast club court,
that's court, all right, okay?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
And I'm like yeah, I mean I think he was joking,
but it didn't come off funny because char really didn't
know him at the time, and it got really awkward
in this whole exchange. Now, while he was there, I
will say there were maybe fifty other people that came.
People were walking in and out of Charlemagne's section, maybe

(13:18):
not fifty, maybe twenty, but anyone of influenced I guess
they just kept getting sent over to the celebrity tables,
and so I really will stand on believing he thought
the bottle was free. However, I don't think that makes
Charlot homophobe, even if it was a joke.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
For being like, I don't think it's ever a joke
the contact someone.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
There maybe only were eight people in the section, so
the segment was not my thing. My thing there is
club etiquette. This is Charlemagne's table. Charlemagne is a man.
Whether you are gay, straight, yellow, purple, whatever, if you
are a man, you should not be reaching into another
man's bottles pouring your own drink without putting it.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh, I don't even think it's a man.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Excuse me. Nope, don't agree. I think fuck putting in.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
If you're gonna be.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
At someone's table, I don't give a fucking feel the
baddest visial world you ask, can I make myself a cocktail?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
No? Either either or yet not speaking is awkward, and
I think that that's the thing on brilliant idiots.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
He led to the fact that even him saying your
name on the clip, Charlotte man was like, we didn't
even introduce me to this guy. He comes over and
is the as they're doing the toes Charlotte's, like the
waitress asked if it's okay for a drink, he said yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
He he told him this is my.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Bottle, a after he reached to make his own drink,
which I agree, like, bro, if you don't know nobody
at this table, like you just reached him making your.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Own eye and that's the thing, right.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I think he thought, I'm going to say this, and
I don't know Blakely well, but I'm going to assume
because I can't see why he made that comment otherwise.
I think he thought all of the celebs were getting
sat together, and I think he thought there's charlott and
Nina Parker, and I think he and.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
He got brought into it. He did not jump in
there to say, hey to me your Nina.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
At the end of the day, he a goofy ass,
goof leaning into homophobia and making that a comment because
the man said, hey, brother, that's my bottle.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
It wasn't.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
He didn't call you out your name. He didn't sit
here and say you couldn't be here because of your sexuality.
I think that it's very irresponsible to start labeling people
in that manner, especially when you went a club and hey, brother,
the Saint Shoe bottle, it's mine. And it's funny because
talking to Charlamagne at the breakfast club, he was like, bro,
I didn't even know how expensive the bottles were. He

(15:40):
said they were twenty four hundred YUO, so it was
easily about a seven eight thousand dollars check for three bottles.
And he was like, man, well, I'm here now, I'm
celebrating Debbie's birthday, and.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
So I just thank it, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I just think I just think the labeling of him
as a homophone like and that that's unfortunately what makes.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
This space kind of difficult.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Like there are a lot of black men, Charlotte being
one who's very inclusive and welcoming to all people, so
you don't want to like put out that narrative, even
even the cloth that he's getting like like around it.
I just hate that his his thing was to lean
into the homophones. A twenty eight hundred dollars bottle, by
the way, bruh, dog, bruh. Charlie got it rich.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I think it's a fair fair like, hey, my brother,
this is my bottle. Yeah, it's weird.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
I'm looking at every ounce of that.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
I said, I feel really embarrassed. I really wouldn't ever
bring someone in your section section.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
I said, this is my next thing. Oh my god,
not you and just getting attacked primly. Oh, I'm not
gonna lie. It's so funny. Alex is a great point. Hey, Alex,
I'm Brilliant Idiots Alex Mark.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
When I saw him say Charlaonae's I'm like, I want
now you gotta go breakfast club. Now, you guys, you
gotta you gotta get on your partner. Alex was on
Brilliant Idiots talking about what he's saying.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
He cool with Weezy. That mean Weezy need to put
on that bottle. Go ahead of send we the invoice
for a portion of that bottle. That's what Alex said. Friend,
So Alex said, go ahead of charge that man. Yeah,
but bro find it out water bottles all night.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
And I was dancing for four hours. Please, But I'll
say this, I said. I Me and Blakely were talking
and I was like listen. I was like, Charla Way
is feeling hurt because he really is not that nigga.
And I said, but I do think you should send
bottles to Charlemagne on some drake shit.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh yeah, that he should.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
And I think like, look, I've been a fan of
his content for maybe two or three years, and then
the look as though I think he could get it
for about one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh he should go ahead of the dog and the
hook of the whole bottle.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
So I think people can miss, and I think that
one just happened to be a miss because all of
his content hits for me, he'd be calling out the
White House. He does a very good job at calling
out who needs to be called out. But that joke
just didn't land because I really don't think she.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Is that nigga. He asked, why are you leading into
it being a joke? I said, joke.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
He seemed offended, and he called a man homophobic. I
don't think that was a joke. I mean, I'm hoping
it was a joke, okay, because I don't. I wouldn't
have spoken because he made the dawn joke. You know,
I'm i sss upbout his boots and I'm just like,
maybe that was it, but okay, So here I do
want to talk about the free ship in Can a
little bit because at one point, bitch, there was a

(18:22):
whole day. I haven't had a day in a while,
and I challenge everyone to do this day. I talk
about this in our master class, which you can go get.
It's free if you ordered the book before July. First
you need to try to have a zero dollar spend day.
I was able to do it in Campo Holy multiple days.
First of all, we got to Friday and I said,
but I've been here since Monday in can because I
spent two days the niece. Literally we got to Thursday

(18:45):
and I was like, bro, we may have paid for
two meals.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Drinks, meals, everything.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
It's basically just taking over every single portion of the beach,
taking over a restaurant and point, iHeart the iHeart cafe.
I'm thinking it's just the dinner Mandy night rat. When
I walk back in there, Nope, stay all day, all day.
And when a check didn't come, my nigga looking at me,
he said, hold on, let's go. And actually we do

(19:15):
want to representde it. I don't want house to get
I got it again, nigga, I couldn't believe it. I
did want to talk about this little moment I had
in Germany. So I told you, I don't know if
I told you in person that I saw Old Day
in Europe the first time in two years. I'm gonna
do a little solo episode on Patreon because we need
that catchup Nigga him giving Miami and a hug and saying,

weather is weathering, while we may be entering World War
three and don't have access to go to other countries.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'm like, okay, good, we're getting out of here now.

Get on the plane. I'm sitting here talking to the
guy next to me. Cool ass, white dude, tat it up, bitch.
He gives me the nude beach. I don't know how
we got here to the nude beach, but clearly he
saw it was one of those.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
He gives me the nude beach. A nie.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I said, yo, we gotta go to the new beach.
We sitting there talking drinking our wine. Getting ready to
take off. I'm like, okay, let me put on a movie.
I can fall asleep too. I put on Ten Things
I Hate about You.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Oh, good movie, such a good movie. None of them
looked like high schoolers.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
I was like, whoa, how do we hear? Anyways, So
watching ten Things I Hate about You, we go to
take off. I'm like, okay, I fall asleep. Fall asleep
in the middle of ten Things I Hate about You.
I get woken up by Okay, guys, we'll be going
to the gate.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Da da da da.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Please make sure you take everything off with you. I'm scared.
I'm like, Buddie, we had to land in another country. Like,
what you mean were going to the gate. I'm like,
I'm freaking out. A nigga a bish been sleep? No,
it is one thirty in the morning. We never left
goddamn Atlanta. We're going back to the gate because the
hours was it from when it was taxi, Well, the

(24:44):
flight was already delayed by like two hours, and then
I guess we were on the tarmac for about another
hour hour and a half.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Ooh, like weather was bad. That sucks. Yeah, so it was.
So it's it's one thirty in the morning.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
So we all get off and they're just telling us, hey, guys,
they'll let you know up details at the gate.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Y'all. This is Delta.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
By the way, I preface that because what happened next
made me question who the fuck I was lying. So
we get out to the gate, and in the most
Atlanta fashion, because we have no answers, she says, check in,
check in, Hello, Hello. I'm just gonna let y'all know
because y'all crew ain't had the balls to tell you. Literally,

(25:28):
this is on the The reason y'all ain't taken off
tonight is because they didn't want to take the trip.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
They timed out and said they don't want to take
the trip. Suck.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Let me tell y'all was about to happen. It's one
thirty in the morning, which means we gotta find y'all
a new crew. The chances of that happening at one
thirty in the morning are very high. Give me five minutes,
but do not come up here. Your crew chose not
to take this flight. Give me five minutes. We're all
sitting around and I'm like, okay, she said, give me
five minutes.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Come back on No live five minutes later. All right,
whatever number in email you use, there's a hotel voucher
and food vouchers for y'all.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Y'all gonna have to go stay in a hotel tonight
because we don't think that y'all.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Gonna be able to get out tonight.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
So I'm looking around, looking around, and they're like, okay, well,
none of us can leave because even if we get
hotels for tonight, we don't know what time we got
to be back to the airport. So the funniest thing happens.
Mind you, this is a direct flight to the south
of France. I'm looking at people, look at these hotels.
It's the La Quinta, it's the it's the red roof

(26:35):
in hold On. So see, and here goes weezy. I
think it's so easy. I can't stay that. So literally,
I'm across and they're like, what kind of hotels do
they think we're gonna stay at tonight?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
And I'm hearing all these bougie people look at the
list of hold On and then they give us.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Then they give us two food vouchers twelve dollars apiece,
and let us know, y'all better go the only thing
open right now is McDonald's and they about to close.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
What are you in the morning.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
McDonald's is the only thing open, and everyone's like, I'm
not staying at these hotels. But mind you, it's one
thirty in the morning, so many of these hotels are
already booked, like two or three options. So I'm listening
to all these bourgie as people complain about not want
to say, at the Laquenza or the Holiday Inn. So
then she comes back five minutes later, it is two

(27:19):
o'clock in the morning, because she says, hey, guys, before
we get a time that we can land, we have
to call air traffic control because Nice is such a
small airport.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
They only allow one flight a day, so we need
approval to land this plane for tomorrow. Shit bitch, She
comes back. Flights officially been canceled, y'all. Y'all gotta figure out.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
How to get there because they're not allowing two planes
to land tomorrow and Nice.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
So the desk is down the hall. Good luck, y'all.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
No, there's nothing she could do. She since now it's
three hundred people literally at two thirty in the morning.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Hold on, you're doing it too.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Hold on, First off, I call the Diamond Line. I
get booked on the next direct flight. Don't cause it's premium.
I know, lucky there was one seat left in premium,
so there was no extra charge.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
She put me on. I looked up.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Here go Atlanta Airport. I'm in the international terminal. So
y'all already sending people to hotels. Everyone's on the phone
or lined up, and it's three hundred people.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
The fucking trains are down.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
It is a twenty three minute walk air trams. Oh shit,
not only it is a twenty three minute walk. Oh
my god, terminal e to motherfucking ground transportation.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
And then you know you got to call it Uba
two thirty when I tell you so. On the way.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Walking on the way there, I'm like, well, let me
call my hotel and niece cause they better give me a.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Refund because I make it there covering. No.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, no, no, well I'll do I'm plotting them with Bear.
So they said, no worries, I'll just modify the reservation.
The Marriott was great, and so I'm walking and I'm like, wow,
the growth. Normally I would have been pissed about my
blood pressure would have been hot.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
I would have been like just miserable.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
And as I'm walking from twenty three minutes down all
the goddamned terminals at the Atlanta Airport, I'm like, Giry,
you came so far.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
I'm talking to myself at this point.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's three o'clock in the morning, and I'm like, you
know how you normally respond to things, And I'm just like,
in my mind, I'm genuinely like, I'm gonna make it
there because I'm supposed to be there, and I'm like,
there's a reason why.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
We didn't get on that goddamn plane. True, it might
be that the new final destination just dropped. I don't know.
I've been just listen Bad Brother's Bad Brother though. I've
been saying I don't need the stress of doing that,
and I was just like a good attitude. So I
got then, I got that.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
On Saturday, got to spend I ended up cutting out Monacos,
but the whole day and knees got to cam the
next day, and I was just like everything the entire.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Week, Yeah, it was fine.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
No. When I say, yeah, everything that we said we wanted,
the people we said we wanted to meet, we met.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
And I was just like, it's because I came into
this week with that energy. It had to be and
it was just like so great. But no, as I
was sitting there, I think it was.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
I think it was just funny. First off, the lady
at the gate talking like this is sole plane.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Though she did it, it's not her. It was three
hundred people to attack her. And thank god, by the way,
that you took a nap right before that long walk.
At least you were arrested.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
I'm not gonna lie rest imagine you didn't take it nap.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
You're gonna be cranky walking all the way down to
the Brown Transportation.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
I told you. I got home because I forgot my
toy and I'm still masturbating. When I get home.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
I said, oh my god, cleaning. Really, they'll do anything
you want. They gave me up same liquid to ship.
Bitch didn't say there, and I said, sorry, this is
what I book.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
They gave it back. I started ordering food that they
wouldn't let me get. They gave it back. Yeah. I
was like, you know what, I remember when I what
was it?

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I was telling y'all, Oh, when we were supposed to
make it to another country, what was it?

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Vietnam? And then we couldn't get in with the visa
and we were sitting in the airport like what do
we do?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
And you know what's hard of the same alttitude, like
you know, it'starting together.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
We forgot to tell you about that too, because that
almost happened to me a Crystal because we were traveling
with Adriana. Adriana has a German passport, so she booked
our routing to Vietnam. Bitch me and Crystal get there.
They say, oh no, y'all, bitches need visas.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Now we literally had that day. They will, y'all they're
on a weekend. Y'all were there on a weekend.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I'm trying to think if any fun travel stuff happened
with us. No, but the one thing, obviously the Old
Bay story is tea, but that's a whole episode. So
there's this club I don't know if anyone's ever heard
of it. Listening, it's called Berghein, And actually last week's
episode with Jerry, she talks about going in there.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Okay, so my man and I are playing this yer.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Trip and he is very like he would rather travel
to like Brazil, Japan or South Africa.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
I love that you get him to do everything. He
don't want to do the cruise in now Europe.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Oh he loved Europe though, And it sound funny because
when you were in Paris together, he's like, I get
it now, baby, He's like, I see because he would
make fun of me and be like, oh you like
that white shit.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
The second he got there, he's like, I've seen more
niggas than I thought I would like.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
So we get We've been listening to a lot of
House and more recently Techno at a spot called Basement
in New York, which I mentioned was in the Baby
Girl movie for that crazy club scene. So we're like,
all right, we gotta go to the real shit. And
I have heard the real shit is in Berlin. This
club called berghem Berghein is basically this I don't even

(32:42):
know how to describe it. It's maybe five stories warehouse building,
a five story dungeon imagine.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
So all he's the club. No, it's just a club,
and it's open because you're a dungeon. Were a dungeon.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
But ohrs, But we'll talk about what's in there a
little bit because I want to keep the coade and
get back in one day four days The club is
open okay from Thursday to Monday.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
So we're like talking to people in Germany, like how
do we get in? What's the best way to get in?
I spoke to Liz Knebridch because she loves.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Techno and she's like, tell you today, bitch, you get
their Sunday morning, you have brunch. And then he stayed
on London warning and I'm like what So I was
really worried we wouldn't get in. The door guy whose
name's Spenn, actually he was in john Wick for he's
a well known doorman. He's in interviews. Everybody's terrified at
this guy. I watched this interview they had to like
dub it. The He basically is like what I do.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Is face control. You can't pay me. No one's gonna
convince me you can get it.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
If I say no, it's me and a team of
other people and we decide if you fit the energy
for this club, and if you don't, you don't get in.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
If he says no, there's no talking.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
There's also tiktoks and Reddit threats where you can figure
out how to get in.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
That's spen okay. So basically when they ask you how
many people are you hold up the fingers.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
You don't speak. They look you up and down. They
may ask you what dj you know? They may not
they may say why are you here? Like you got
to figure out your answer. You wear all black, you
don't smoke in line, you don't get on the phone
in line.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
If you can google rules. I'm telling you this is
what I know. This is insane.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
This man looks by the way all the audio listen
is very intimidating. Man face covered in tattoos, snake bites,
gray beard and looks like would crushed by school at Harby.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
And then something interesting he said. He's like, listen, uh,
there's places I can't get into because of how he looks.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Right for ta to tase.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
He's like, so there's just places you can't get into,
like if you don't get the vibe in it. So
me and my man get there around four pm on
a Sunday. We heard that's when the line is low
because you may be in hours for three hours in line.
But it's the best club in the world, they say.
Elon Musk got rejected. It's a whole thing.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
You can't get in that attractive. No tables just to
say like, you could be the richest man in the world.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Right. So we're watching people get turned away and my
niggas like, damn, like they kind of look like they fit,
Like why the fuck they get it? So then we
get closer. He's like, we don't need niggas in this line.
We get ain't no way, I'll blow this shit up.
Not getting in is the fucking culture of this club.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
So we get to the door. I'm thinking this guy
is the urban myth. I'm thinking because he's been working
at twenty years. I'm not thinking we all see him, bitch,
we see you.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
And I'm like, oh fuck, because there are other door
guys people talk about, but this is the one. My
man's wearing black, black pans, thick, chunky, like those big
botaga booze, and just some cool shit. He got his
shirt open a little bit so you might see a
little nipple ring. I was just wearing all black and leather.

(35:32):
So the door guys look at us, say how many?
They look us up and down. He says something in
German to the guy next to him. Then they pull
out spend he's the main guy. He's looking us up
and down. They start talking to each other bro. I
didn't know it was gonna take this long.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
So I'm swimming bit so I'm like, oh my god,
this feels like racism and impression. This is too much.
And then finally it's just boom one head nod and
does this like go in.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Well, you can't say anything, you know, So we're just
walking in and he squeezing them olve and I'm like,
oh shit.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Oh shit, oh shit. They cover your phones. This is,
by the way, German thing phones covered.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
First thing I see when I get in, literally a
dude with his dick out and wearing wristlets to hold
his phone on his ankles.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Did he go in with his dick out? Not set?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
But this was another tip I got for anyone going
to berg Hine, So you bring a bag with you
and they know you're gonna change.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
The first floor is the coach check.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
The code check is so full because everybody's getting undressed.
So now at this point I told im, like, I'm
taking my pants off, like now I want to get undressed.
So I'm thinking I'm about to walk into a sex club.
It's not a sex club, but I don't know what
to call it.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
You walk in it's a nude club. It's not even
a nude club.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
If you saw a whole dick, girl, it's a nude club.
People were wearing clothes, some people are not. Some people
have their tips out. I don't know what it is
a club, so my nudity, it's not. You saw dick
a titty the club. It has no rules period. A
club with no rules. No, so you cut a stuff
your man dick in the club. I'm gonna tell you
what I saw a little bit. Oh, I'm gonna tell

(37:10):
you everything.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
This is a sex club, bro.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
It's not as like, okay, we're not going to label
it like how. People don't want to be lax, so
they say it is at the best club of the world.
And I was talking to this black girl in the
bathroom who she doesn't know me or you, but she
was like, I feel.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Like you do something with someone someone hold I know you.
And I'm like, okay, maybe. So I was like, what
do you think?

Speaker 2 (37:30):
She was like, I only came here because I heard
it was hard to get in and I wanted to
know I could get in.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
She was like, but.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
I hate techno and I hate house music. She's like,
I fucking I cannot believe how much I love this thing.
She's like, it is just the weirdest energy. So basically
we start walking through the club and my man and
I were.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Still geeked off the fact that we got in this shit.
We want to talk about it, like why are you
looking at this A long? Did he say? Nigga? What
did you say?

Speaker 2 (37:51):
So we're walking by and there's these little inlets like
it looks like closets but with no door, private rooms,
but only one two people could fit in, like literally
if it looked like a box, like if you walked in,
someone that got in there would have to squeeze and
be suffocated or put their dick in.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
You yep, And that's what I saw. And oh, so.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
We're looking at it and I'm like, okay, I can
I need to get high out.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
I need to do some drugs. Now, let do some drugs.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
So I'm trying to go to the bathroom and do
my drugs like a good person. And then finally I'm
waiting online and someone just pulls.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Some shit out.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
She says, would you like some spid doe some spid?
I was like, oh no, and I will go do
my ecstasy alone. Ye go back out and he's like,
it's five forty five The club closed at eight am
to night.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
It's five forty five pm. He's like, what are we
gonna do.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
I'm like, I don't know, dude. So one of the
rooms ends up closing off a little later into the night. Right,
so they closed the bathroom. My nigga goes to p
and this is how he described it, Mandy. He said, right,
does the gate start closing for the bathroom. I looked
to my left and it's four niggas in a train

(39:07):
fucking each.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Other, he said. I looked yet, I'll see the gate closing,
and I was like, I'm couldn't even finish my face.
I don't have to get the fuck out of that shit, bro.
It is wild. I've never seen anything like this in
my life. Then he's telling me the story.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
I'm laughing. I'm like, I gotta get out of here.
Let's go get a drink. I go get a drink.
I'm waiting on the bartender. Bartender is standing next to
three on. The bartender is wearing like all techno clothing,
and then other one comes out fully naked with a huge,
huge rabbit's foot hanging from the chain on his dick,
and he says, oh, where are you from?

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Would you like to drink? And I'm like, dick water,
I don't bitch? What dick out? Bitch? Wait? Wait?

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Are all the bottles okay? Sorry, this is where my
mouth went. Are all the bottles ill at least on
the wall like above them? Because all I'm thinking is
as a poormer bartender, sometimes it's down anywhere else is
his dick slanging possibly touching the tops of the bottles

(40:15):
where it pours out.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
I just would like to also, also, is it like
sacrilegious to share bottles there? Because that was a problem
earlier in this Oh.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
There's no tables, okay everyone, there's no tables. There's no
way you can pay to gain.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
I don't want touch anyone's bottle there.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
There is no exclusive now.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
I don't know, honestly, unless the bottles are coming from
above you, I don't know if I want a dick
slang in buyo, no choice match? And you know what
else is crazy? This club is so true to the
fact that no one's above anyone. When the DJ walked in,
he walked into the front door, I saw people bugging
out about him. No, oh, well, he then climbed up

(40:53):
a ladder to get to a section to put his
things down and climb down the ladder to get to
the fucking bro. Best sound siste I've ever heard, I've
never I was just Wow, it was a lot and then.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
It's an unlabeled sex club. I don't think it's a
sex bro. Your man said Bowe.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Niggas was training each other in the bathroom to the
bartender had a rabbit's tail hanging from his dick. Okay,
so maybe fifteen hundred people be in this club. I
think it's just a very free for all love call
it free. I really don't think it's a sex club.
I swear to God, Like if.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
There's no there's no there's no, there's no fuck.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
There's clearly a lot of places. The bathroom is little
slits in the world.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
I think it's them all. It's just cool to me though.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
To me, though, I think it's to me, I would say,
and maybe because we in Europe, But to me, if
I'm going to a place that's not a sex club,
like you and I are liberated. To me, if I'm
going to a club, I don't believe that I'm going
to see anybody's dick or anyone's thinking, Like, to me,

(42:00):
that's like there's that sexual assault technically their sex.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
It's rest is that why?

Speaker 2 (42:05):
That is why all of these people are judged based
on if they fit the vibe. Maybe you will see
four fucking niggas fucking each other.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Are you gonna be weird about it?

Speaker 2 (42:13):
I don't know how one guy with face tattoos can
determine it. Well, no, no, no, no, apparently, and.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
I don't know. Now.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
After we got in, we've just been googling, like trying
to figure out about this club. There's a rumor online
that he's been paid to like do the most like
curate vibes and like do shit like that.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Like, I actually think that you can do that.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
I think for twenty years, if you've been running one
of the most well known clubs in the world, Yes,
I do think you can do that. I think I
could look at somebody and be like, you ain't about
this life one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I think we all can do that.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
And I think in my in my first thirty seconds
of just looking at someone where you can't say words,
which means you can't have a conversation and you're just
looking at the US energy bro For example, there's a
clip of Peggy Goose, she's a really dope DJ who
is talking to another DJ in BBC and the girl goes,
how do I get in?

Speaker 1 (42:59):
She was like, you gotta look ready, and the other
girl are you huh? I agree?

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I agree, I think you gotta know. So then we
start talking about this, right. I talked to my homeboy
who runs Jerk and Joel Off shout out to Sante.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
He's like, damn, nigga, you got in. I didn't get in.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
And I'm like hell because I'm thinking he's a handsome
looking guy and he's like, I had so many people
I was with, So I'm like, all right now, I
don't think he means black shit. I think he means
he throws the Afrobeats party basically, right, Afrobe's a nansholt.
So if you bring a niggas from the club with you,
how are they dressed? Are they dressed in.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Just like regularly? Like what they looking like?

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Because you really got to fit the bill for people
that like this music, for people that do this, like,
you can't look like a first timer. And I heard
them say to the guy before us, have you been
here before, and he said no, and they talked and
then they still let him in.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
But he kind of had a little life.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
And I think that if more people did this instead
of being, for example, little sisters Adore in New York
that a lot of people can't get into. They're known
notoriously for letting in skinny model girls and it's turned
into this whole cool kid's culture.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
But it used to be a cool.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Club, but it's not really anymore. What if it was
just based off people that looked like they were ready
to fucking dance and that were cool, not hot, cool,
that whatever, short, just a cool motherfucker instead of skinny
model white.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
I just think even cool, But I think even cool
is subjective.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
I do want to shout out to Okay see because
I found out could they do something called an unction
and it's a thirty and up crowd.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
You cannot get it unless you are thirty plus. And
she's twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
So she was like, oh, you gotta be thirty and
she said it like it was real old, and I
was like, oh did you I didn't.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
I was so tired.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
I had just lend it from France, had to go
from France to Okay, see the whole festival. I was like,
ain't no way, I'm making it out. But she was
telling me about the unction and I said, Yo, I
love that name. And what I'm realizing too is thirty
en up crowds are loving R and B. It's why
almost the only time I go out, even in Atlanta,
were looking for the RMB parties.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
And I'm like, Damn, that's a good name. I say
because I like a little thirty up crowd.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Although I do like my Wayans too, but the Wayians
in the South dress a little too wyani ish for me.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
I like Hawaiians everywhere doing you know what We're that
in London, the Wayans the like that culture of like drill,
like nog the cdentral Sea.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Look, let me tell you something.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Hate it crossing people's street, hate it not crossing the street.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
I don't like them. I don't be down on the
Lower east Side.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Yo. I'm sorry if I sound like a fucking Karen.
Me and my nigga at mid thirties. The other day
we saw some niggas we were walking in it. I said,
get him out of here, go left. I don't want
to he laughed. He's like I'm like eight niggas bunched
up thirteen years old after school with you ready let
marijuana get out in marijuana.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Well, no, I ain't gonna hold you to me.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
It's it's not for showing. I hate it the Jesus.
And here's my problem with the yan fashion in Atlanta.
Like me and my friend now have a game where
when we go out, we literally try to decipher who's
hetero and who's not. The why in look is a
mix between guys real hood. But in Atlanta they bedazzle

(46:14):
ship that's c and they wear ship no and then
it be crop top like you go white there. So
I'm like, you know why under me in my head
is like that hold no, no, no, let me finish.
It'll be bedazzled tight with the crow top and it's
still a ski mask where it's ninety degree.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Oh that's okay for Atlanta. That's what that is. Oh
it's the why. It looks like that's my life with
these is the way that's the little bit the way.
That's the way the drill rappers dress. Don't like it,
like you know, I don't like it, you know like it,
you know, like you went to Paris for fat music.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
It's this thing I Kate went right into on accidents,
basically just music day. It started in the seventies where
free concerts were all over the streets in France, and
now it's turned into people could just play music from
their homes like you basically follow the street to different sounds.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
It's so much fun. So my whole boy invites me
to this party. Be on my nigga about the pull up.
I want to say it was sponsored by Snipes or
Nike and it's free.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Right.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
We got up there.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
I see thirty niggas with Travis Scott Braids and Nike Tech.
I said, we're not going They're gonna be shooting. We are.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
No, Wow, that's crazy. I'm going to daily paper, bitch.
I'm going to motherfucker every day.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Pop Why I'm not going to shit, Y'all'm niggas aint
going to be trying to kill me.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Oh, it's funny.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
I've been trying to figure out where to go in
Atlanta because it's a mix.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
I do want to go where the Waiians are, not
the ones that just like the Wayians. But y'all know
I like me a little Wayian. So I've been trying
to go there. And then also the ma's her crowd
so been the cigar bars.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
So it's like been interesting trying to figure out where
the hell just to go out where, Yeah, you know
people you know, makes sense.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
Yeah, let's it to y'all. We are now authors. We
author's baby.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
We're gonna get into a little bit of the book
to share with y'all some things, talk about it, and
really hopefully get y'all just as excited as we are
that the book is now out, that you.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Get to read all the things we shared.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
We'd be vulnerable on the podcast, but we even more
vulnerable than the book. And listen, you may just be
a listener that doesn't really care about reading anything about us.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
You don't need to care about me and die and
easy to read this. It's really that good of a book.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I will say different compliments I received from this book
last night When Shara hit me, he said, everyone that
loved Zay and will love this book. One of my
other homegirls said, I kind of feel like I'm reading
a self help book for help that I didn't ask for,
but now I kind of like it, Like I like
reading about tips about BDSM. She's like I like reading

(48:52):
about these heartbreak tips. She's like, I feel like I'm married,
but just reading on how I should have done things
feels good. And I think it's all of this juicy
detail about someone that you don't know. But it's nonfiction.
When we read nonfiction, we're normally reading it to better
our money or mental health. We never think about nonfiction

(49:13):
for the sex. Yeah, so I'm like excited for y'all
to dig in. I wanted to break up real quick
some conversations for us based on the sections of the book,
just so that we can maybe add some elements to it,
tell them something they may not know, get deeper into something.
So I wanted to start with pleasure because pleasure, outside
of our introduction, is where the book starts. And so

(49:36):
for pleasure, I wanted you to share your favorite moment
in the book from this section. Really, it could be
a sense that it's a tip or a specific story
about a certain person. So for me, specifically, my three
chapters and the pleasure of portion are about masturbation, being
a unicorn on vacation, and anal sex, which I love.

(49:58):
Y'all actually has something to do with that chapter title.
We literally leaned into something that was said on the
podcast when Vinnie joined us. Can I put it back there.
That's the title of that chapter, but I wanted to
actually add because this is a story told on the podcast.
Y'all remember when I took my solo trip to mexic
Go and became a unicorn for a couple and it

(50:21):
was just super wonderful. This chapter, even though you've heard
the story on the podcast, I kind of tied into
the fact that so many of us maybe stop ourselves
from exploring or doing things that we want to do
because of how we think people will perceive us. So
that chapter, the theme is about would this have happened

(50:43):
if I came with friends? Would this have happened if
I was thinking too much about what the people on
the boat would have thought about me for staying on
this island with strangers? Would I have got to experience
this dope ass experience of a weekend had I let
what public perception would have took about this experience from me?
And so I really lean into hopefully the reader from

(51:07):
that reading that chapter, the reader gets that, damn, how
many times did I not shoot my shot because I
was in fear of rejection? How many times did I
not date this person because I just knew my friends
wouldn't like him or my mama wouldn't like him, and
I want to make all those people happy instead of
choosing my own happiness first. So that was, like I

(51:28):
would say, my favorite chapter of the pleasure section, but
also the theme that I was able to bring around
a story that y'all already heard on the pod. I
think the pain section will be people's favorite because it
jumps around Oh no, I want to think it's no, no, no,
I know I'm just saying, but I think the pleasure
starting with the pleasure is really fun because when you
pick up a book like this, that's what you inspect read.
I think for me one that I haven't really discussed

(51:51):
the safety chapter. You don't really hear me talk a
lot about, but I'm thinking about it because we did
the Breakfast club this morning and I kind of firstgot
about how necessary it is. For so in the safety chapter,
I reference needing a devil and an angel on your shoulder.
Mine is Vinnie and Brionda, and I know if I'm
about to do some crazy shit, I'm gonna call Vinnie

(52:13):
and he's.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Gonna be like bitch. Gonn thought that Nigga Brionda be like,
oh my goodness, okay, well I'm here.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
She'll never tell me no, she'd never judge. And I
think surrounding yourself with that community in your pleasure seeking journey,
there does need to be someone else ouden than you,
because a lot of the inner turmoil I'd experienced with
sexuality was because I didn't have anyone to relate to,
and many times people kind of shame you for it,

(52:42):
or you feel like they're going to talk behind your back.
Many of us have a group of a few friends,
and I actually just recently said, I don't know if
you've had this experience recently, but it's such a good
place of comfort. My all girls are in a group
chat with me and I was telling them something dumb
I did and they were about to go to lunch.
I was like, I'm the awful was about to talk
about me and they were like, oh, well we are
with a smile, and I was like, damn, I am

(53:03):
in such a good safe place and you don't really
get here in your thirties, right there's always a bit
you can't staying something wrong, and it feels good to
know that I've built that for myself, much like Chosen Family.
So in the pleasure chapter, just knowing I got to
do something fun and then sneaking call a friend and
having that safety net, like it didn't hit me that

(53:23):
that was that pivotal for this book. Now there's the
off the cuss question. There's sex throughout the book. Is
there a sexual experience or story that you wish made
the book cheating all the old bay Probably okay, okay
for me, I think, And I questioned myself, y'all know,
I told y'all a story about the editor not allow

(53:46):
me to be the bisexual bitch that I am. Yeah,
and so I did at one point want to make
a story about my frivolous casual sex with women because
back in Miami.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
And it's so funny because this story just I don't
remember who I was talking to. I think I was
talking to somebody. No, it would have been a new story,
it would have been a new chapter.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
But I remember having this conversation about what the club
scene is like now, and I was like, yeah, man,
back when I lived in Miami, I remember being able
to eat coouci in the in the bathroom saws they
were like, wait, how did you eat pussy in the
bathroom sauce? I said, yo, I did it twice, No,
maybe three times twice in play well, okay, I did
it twice and play once it Jerry's if y'all know Jerry's,

(54:29):
if y'all in your thirties. Jerry's was the diner on
South Beach that is no longer open, and then I
ate pussy. I'll shared the story. Asked from story, No,
story was this side of the beach.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
No, it was down on the other side. And then
I ate pussy.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Y'all heard the story when I went to Tutsis and
so I'm literally like talking about the club scene, and
I was like, yeah, I used to eat pussy in
the sauce Da Da da. And so I go to
start talking about like my ex girlfriend a Mia that
I dated when I was in Miami and that, and
I was like, damn, okay. I realized that there was
this questionable part of me and it didn't make it
in there because I was like, I'm not changing none

(55:04):
of my chapters, but for me, I was like, damn,
if I really could have shared all the wild, random
sex with women I had, like on the dock and
tootsies and stalls.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
I was like, wow, I actually don't have those stories
with a lot of men like Bro.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
That's because of safety. That's a good point to like
ring up. And so I don't know if it was safety.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
No, no, no no, Like Bro were in the bathroom,
I was on my knees like crazy.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
They could take me to give me head, and for
some reason niggas made me feel insafe. I don't know
if I was letting man just take me in the
bathroom and do shit strangers. Yes, I mean my niggas. Yes,
I've done it with like people that I know what
you're saying. Safety is your thing, Okay. Like the way
that I've learned how women respond to me, it's not
because I'm the baddest manch I do world, even though
i'd like to think so. Women feel safer with women,

(55:49):
like we're fucking area of sault. So we were able
to eat each other pussy because we feel safe in
the club. Safety, Oh shall I's also all the women
who have suck digging a club. Good for you, But yeah,
you're right, safe spacey, what's in the club? By the way,
the reason I would want to add the old Bay
thing is because oh this sounds so suitable.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
I can't want to say this out loud say it.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
I feel like a lot of people feel really bad
for me after reading Thatch after and I had some
bad moments, but.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
I had another word friend.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
I was okay, which I was really living it up
like I thought he was going to be my central
relationship because it looked so good on paper, and I
didn't really think I needed.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Much more for stability for me. In the beginning of.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
That relationship, I really didn't focus on I always thought
everything could be fixed, which isn't true. Like I always
just kind of thought, hey, great on paper, we'll fix
this other shit, I'll go to therapy, I'll figure it out.
But this is a great catch to the point where
I didn't really care about much else now, I didn't

(57:06):
need a relationship that badly.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
I was having so much fun in my life and
it's stumbled on one. But at that particular time I
met him, I was coming off of scissors rebounding a
little bit, and I felt like I needed that with
a man, and I felt like he was a perfect
man for it. And I also had a lot of
fun with him. But the chapter.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
When I read it back and it's someone that people
talked to me about the most, it does feel sad.
But I really was getting fucked like I had I
had two other niggas, like I really was giving my lick.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Back in real time. But I felt like bringing it
up in the chapter.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
With Muddy, how terrible he was, so I needed people
to know he wasn't shit before I told you that you,
I didn't start until he started.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Sorry for pain, we talk enjoyment, consequences, and trauma. Why
did we and I want to talk to the to
the audience here, Why did we feel it was important
in this pain section to include BDSM or the pleasure
of pain? I think it was because we definitely knew
we didn't want to make this book too dark, and

(58:12):
so yeah, the way of making it fun pain pleasure
like it went hand in hand and someone and sometimes,
to be truthful, when I say pleasure in pain, I
don't think of heartbreak pain.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
I think of sex pain.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
So I think when the reader picks this up, they're like, ooh,
pleasure and pain. So when you fucking hear about a
story that's violent, you're like, oh shit. I think that
is the unexpected party. I know we got our trigger
warnings too, and I love that. Lauren on Breakfast Club
was like, really loved that y'all included these trigger warnings
because when you're reading a book and you get into

(58:46):
hearing about fucking a couple and eating pussy and taking
dick in your ass, and then you get to a
sexual assault chapter, it's like, WHOA, So you guys do
have the trigger warning to be able to flip through
the book on your own time, because finely don't want
trigger you why you read this, But yeah, I was
it was important for us to include that, and it's

(59:06):
in the master class. I decided to do a whole
breakdown of BDSM and then the dungeon that I'm actually
speaking about in the book.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
Get the master class.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
I have a whole video in the exact room, so
the way I described the space and what it looks like,
you actually have a visual representation of the rig that
suspended me in the air, and I literally also bring
out the chastity belt that I put my exes dick in,
and you also get to see the thing that electrocuted me.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
So the electro play toy is there. Everything is in
the master Class, So.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Again, make sure you get that it's only available till
July first, and then for free, for free, for all
of y'all. Progression healing is a journey. Where do you
think you still have the most work to do? Like,
even based on the stories you narrated in your progression part,
is there anyone that still seems like a work in progress.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Myself is the work in progress for the story, particularly
about depression and suicide and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
I'm such a happy person in my day to day that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
It doesn't really come up often, but when it does,
it's hard to get out of it because I'm so
emotional when I'm happy. I'm so happy. I'm not just content,
I'm excited and I'm screaming it at you. I feel
like more recently in my life, just just said it
to me when we were walking out of the Bakfast club,
you look really good, and I was like, oh God,

(01:00:37):
I'm just really happy. Like that's my answer. It's continually
I'm really happy and I feel it in and out.
And I lost ten pounds that that added to it.
Everybody keep saying, oh, you look great, don't know you
junglet I got it off. Now what I will say
when those sad moments come. I then almost retracted back

(01:00:57):
to like this dark place of who I was, because
it can really take me down. So some of the
tools that I've used that I even talk about, how
I talk about what my therapist did for me, automatic thoughts,
how to fix them. Sometimes I forget. I forget how
to use them. And I really need to start practicing
what I preach all the time. This week, we're gonna
be doing so much extra work. I'm sure it may

(01:01:20):
take my bad thoughts down. Like for example, I don't
know if this has ever happened to someone. It happened
to me last night, and I was able to get
through it. So I knew I had to go to
bed by a certain time because make up was six
forty five, with the breakfast club at nine whatever. Right
around ten forty five, I'm like, Oh, if I keep
staying up, I'm only gonna have seven hours and fifteen
minutes it's sleep. Oh if I'm still awake, I'm only

(01:01:40):
have six hours to sleep. Then I went to the
bathroom and I see the clock at four am. I'm like, oh, wow,
So now I only have nine evenute, Like, the way
that my brain starts to spiral is so awful and
I can't stop myself sometimes, and I think that is
the biggest piece of work for me. How am I
talking to myself when I'm stressed out?

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Why I don't wake up every day?

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Parts I just talked about going through the airport. That's
the That's the thing that I'm like so glad that
I have in control. I did that a little bit
when with the Reckfast Club today, actually, and I helped myself,
so I inverted the address, y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I left my house early. I was so proud of myself.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Got to one twenty fifth instead of one twenty five
West fifty fifth.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
What was it? Bruh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
The second I started seeing Harlem, I'm like, this don't
feel right. And after it got fixed, I'm looking at
the clock. I'm watching it go from thirty two minutes
to get there twenty nine minutes to get there.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
I'm late.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
I'm embarrassed, and I'm like, I go, oh, yeah, they
were trying to start without you. And I was like, no,
let's I guess, god right, only six minutes. You were
forty minutes late? No, no, no, six minutes from when
we were recording. Oh, as soon as you got there,
we started.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
But yeah, I got there in nine thirty six. They
said nine thirty start. No no, no, no, no no,
this was readid and nine attic. Yeah they were ready
to go at night. Oh no, they were ready going night.
And I'm glad I didn't know that. It would have
gave me anxiety. Yep. I literally had to say to myself,
this is a mistake. It happened. If I started to
get up, then it's gonna throw the vibe op with
the both of us. It's gonna read on my face.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
I'm not able to help talk about this book because
I'm gonna be so overworked and upset i can't think
about it. I made a mistake. I got to accept
my fate. I'm gonna get there. It's gonna be great.
Everything will be okay. Like it's tough because we are
our biggest critic and I'm about to tear myself up
in the car and fuck all this shit up, fuck

(01:03:24):
all this energy up, not just for myself but everybody
else around me. So like, yeah, my thoughts get dark, dude,
and when they do, I've just got to learn how
to be better about it, and talking about that in
the book was very freeing, just about Hey, like life
goes on, everything wound up being good.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
I think, Yeah, that's that's where I've had the most work.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
I used to get worked up on hoping that people
showed up how I wanted them to show up, or
do as I wanted them to do, or be who
I wanted them to be, whether it be a partner,
whether it be you, whether it be a friend, whether
it be my mom, my dad, my dad. Definitely, that's
a whole nother story. And now I just exist where
I'm like people are in their own worlds.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
I have my own world.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
I can't make make anyone get out of the own
world that they existed. I said, So I just have
to exist with my own thoughts. I only have control
over how I show up. And like I said, even
when when that plane canceled, I talked to my best
friend the next morning. She's like, ooh, bitch, I know
you was tight, And I said, actually, friend, I wasn't.

(01:04:27):
Everything that happened was completely out of my control. And
I said the only thing that I could control was
how I felt in the moment. And I said, at
that moment I made the decision You're not gonna be mad.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
There was nothing you could do.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
You're gonna get home, you're gonna go to sleep, you're
gonna take the flight tomorrow, and hopefully everything works out.
And that's been such a freeing thing to get to.
Like I used to be in therapy, like I don't
understand like why this, and I would just get so
upset that things didn't happen the way I thought everything

(01:04:59):
should happen.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
And now that I just be like, Okay, well there's
nothing you can do. Don't even get mad at this person.
Just allow them to be who they are. You are
who you are.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
You can only control who you are. How do you
want to be today? Do you want to be upset?
Do you want your ennergbo? Do you want to be nasty?
Because if you don't want to be those things show
up the way that like allows you to have a
good day. And when I allow you boy having a
good day, everything just kind of works out. Like I

(01:05:28):
talked about this before bringing up the manifestation visualization rituals
I did on the masterclass.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
But like in my story, I'm headed to the airport.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
I had to leave earlier because I had a meeting,
so my man is still in bed on our original flight.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
But I had to get to New York, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
And I'm tight because we went out the night before
and we're all cutted up and I got to get
up at six am.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
I'm on the way to airport. Mandy, I'm not even joking.
The uber driver says, excuse me, excuse me. At one moment,
and he points to the wheel of his carling outside,
and I'm like, okay. One moment he starts to blow
up his shit with a little bike pump. I'm like, dog,
I'm fucking late.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
I'm already in a bad mood because I lost my
first class seat because I switched to my flight. This
is total rich people problems. And let me tell you something,
I don't care this flight. I paid for my seat
on because I said, hey, Mandy and I are doing
the breakfast club right after this trip, and we have
press every single day. I'm gonna spend this money on

(01:06:28):
my seat because I deserve.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
To lay it down.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Lost the seat because I had to fucking leave early,
so fucking tire boom blows out. Then on the highway
tire goes out again. I gotta get another uber. Thirteen
minutes to get this other uber. It's me and the luggage.
While I'm rolling the luggage to the car, there was
so much cobblestone. But we'll pull spalls off, will fall up.
It's now I'm lugging sixty pounds bag stressed Mandy, just oh,

(01:06:56):
get to the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
Flight is at nine thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
I'm there at eight twenty seven, and you know the
bag don't go on if it's not an hour before
I run. I get there. My seat was thirty four
j not lying to you get to the thing? She
answered my ticket.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
There's four A on the ticket and I'm like, oh
my god, and she goes, I guess people didn't make it,
so you got upgrade it to first class. Nigga.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
I paid six hundred dollars for that seat Do you
know how much I paid for the one before forty seven?
I was like, dog, this is just good karma.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
Because you know what my text message was to my
man about about the flight. Fuck it. I said, this
is shitty. I'm in a hot ass cart this nigga
and got a sea.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
It's my second crid to Grave on the highway, and
I wrote the God damn, it had a great time.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Life Is Good book comes out tomorrow. Boom.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
The way that we are starting to move through life,
I don't know if it's something we could have done.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
In the beginning of the show.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
I've had to chip on my shoulder about so many things.
I've had so much anger, so much confusion. Why is
it happening to me just letting that shit go? Like
life is good, I'm going to be tired this week.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
You're gonna get on my nerves. I'm gonna get on
your nerves. Absolutely damn.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
I mean it already happened, you know, you know time
to this. I'm I'm at the thing. She's like, girl,
I went to Harlem. I switched to that address twenty
four minutes away. I'm like, well the thing is and
I just so I was just like, but you know,
it was only person. I'm like, we got a long week.
She gonna get here.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
And I literally was like, hey, you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Know, I got anxiety to tell Mandy that because I
know what she feels about time, love, love, fucking Charlaine
and breakfast club and it's our first thing we stay back,
and I hate that. That's the first place my brain
went but it's like, what are you gonna What can
you do?

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
You gotta just be happy. And at the end of
the day, this shit just came out. I fucked up
because when we still do the breakfast club it sucks.
I was late, but this just happened, Like I really
want to just feel good about my life instead of
putting myself in this I hate everything mode.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
Every flight goes through the turbulence, like you gotta go
through shit and.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
Not everything with me all that, and I've been on
some flights where I ain't feel a shake hand get
to the first flight.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Okay, wherever you look. I'm just saying, I don't know.
I went home. Let's be very clear. I live in Atlanta.
That's one of the thing that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
You know, runing out in the city and there's you
know JF Canny or you know, you know, you in
a whole for hour. Atlanta's a really stay set their
airport up. Even though it's amazed, it's convenient to the city.
That is one thing that Atlanta has. I was about
to say, or not if you got to go on
the outskirts, I just happened to live es centrally, But yeah, no,

(01:09:37):
that shit is I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
What happened.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
The last question that I want to ask. And I
brought this up on the Breakfast Club, but it was
just so powerful to me when I think about like
how everything pans out. So we're in the south of France.
The last thing that I do for my trip, I
went to like this beautiful vill It's funny because I'm
so American. I kept calling it the strip, but it's

(01:10:03):
the quassette. Oh right, strip, the strip, like the cossette.
But I was like, yeah, on a strip, because that's
what she used. We used to call South Beach. Basically,
the beach is a really long road, maybe it's like
a mile and a half. You all the restaurants and
you have all the shops, so colleges. I called the
trip little like South Beach to me, just in the

(01:10:24):
south of France.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
So I go to this thing. Shout out to Sharon.
I was invited.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
She was on my flight, saw me sitting down. I
got invited to do this salon culture conversation and it
was just really dope.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
So what's the company.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
It's salon culture conversations, A long culture conversation because you know,
everybody host something and I go to this villa up.
Oh my god, it's so gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
And we get to this last thing. It's like a.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
Kind of you know, relaxing thing for the end of
the week, and this lady comes up and starts talking
and heard her tone. Everything was just so beautiful. And
she has this bag she starts handing around. She's like,
pull out a card. People start pulling out cards, and
I want to read the card. I literally took a

(01:11:11):
picture of it because I was like wow. So I
pull out this card and it said when did you
know your story has power? And I immediately read it
and my eyes get watery. And at this point, I'm like,
bitch is drunk, like you had that much rose? Why
is this making you so emotional? And it made me
so emotional because immediately I'm like, my story is right

(01:11:34):
here in this book, Like I knew it had power
when I was able to quit my job and do
this for a living, Like I quit my career in
twenty nineteen, and I don't even want to call it
a job because I fucking bust my ass in school
for four years, got two degrees and was like, this
is about to be my career. I finally made it,
and now I left that and have been doing what

(01:11:55):
I've been doing based on my story. Charlemagne doesn't give
us the opportunity to have this book if we weren't
sharing our story every goddamn week on this podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
And so when I read that card in front of
there was probably.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Maybe twenty twenty five other people there, and I start
sharing about this book and like what it is meant
over the last year and a half to write it,
what it's meant over the last eight years to be
on a podcast to share it. And right before coming
to this event, I met the Martinez on the strip
and this girl comes up and it's like, Mandy, it's you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
Her eyes start watering and she's like.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Like like this, like she's like, I don't want to cry,
I just want you to know that you helped me
get through a really dark time with a breakup, and
just thank you, and then we just embraced and hugged
and we both just started bawling, and I was like,
that's when I knew my story had power. From the
meet and greets, to us going on tour, to us

(01:12:57):
really being able to meet the people that we've had
impact on, I was like maybe it's powerful. And I know,
like people be in the comments and have their talks
about we need to go to therapy, we'll be single forever.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
No, it's gonna want us well or me whatever. I'll
speak for myself.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
It's just really it meant so much to not only
pull this card, but get that story right before it,
and now all week we get to talk about our.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
Goddamn stories in a motherfucking book and for it to
end with power.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
To say, power, that's what this book ends with. And
I was like, oh my god, every hat Yonnavirus, I
see you. And it's just been that everything has been
like so amazing. So y'all getting the book this week.
