So the Tonys were this past weekend, right, and I
was invited, you know, to sit on some people's laps. No,
I was invited to see in the Battle Counting. I

was there. I didn't know he is a listen. I'm
not really a Broadway girly like that. Like I don't

(02:20):
know people's names. I don't know who's up for what.
I know that I was given two free tickets to
see a Broadway show and I wanted to see Death
Becomes Her and I was gonna bring Sydney with me.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I was very excited about it.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
We were like, oh, it's camp, it's funny. It's supposed
to be like a good term. And Michelle Williams was
going to be there.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
That's only Michelle Williams.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I know, yeah, she she wasn't gonna be there that day.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well maybe it's.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
We're supposed to go to the We were supposed to
go to the Broadway two pm on Saturday. Now both
of us wake up, wake up and run out of
our apartments and don't really eat nothing. No, Sidney had
a thing a gig before early at noon, which is
crazy on a Saturday, right, and it.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Was raining pouring.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
No, Umbrella was not dressed for it. I haven't dressed.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Sydney had her knees out, she had legs, a light
denim jacket on. Sydney was dressed, but on dressed. I
was dressed for the Broadway. I was like, let me
step out. I had my knee high boots on. Girl.
I don't know if you see how the white people
be pulling up the Broadway, but they be showing up
in the regular dgulous.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
And I ain't them.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I ain't them, And I'm not bringing my sketches to Broadway. Sketchers, sketch,
that's what they be wearing well, girl, they be wearing
the platform, the lift, the lifts, sketch, the workout one yes,
the shape ups. So at the time the Sydney's at
her thing, it's the same twelve pm for me and
I look at the email for the information of where
we're going. We have tickets for Sunset Boulevard. That's a

(03:55):
completely different show.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
We weren't ready for that.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I wanted bright fun at Boulevard. They said, it's no
set design. It's all black. You get they have a
fog machine. Everybody wears all black, and they don't. They
don't even have no shoes on me.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
No none.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's just very bare, very bare bones. Right. And when
I when I go see a Broadway show, I want
to see Broadway set design.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I want to see Broadway wardrobe. I want to see
Broadway level.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
You know what I'm saying. So I'm disappointed, But I'm
texting Sydney, like, girl, let me see if I could
change this. These tickets.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I can't so last Sidney's like, what did you say?
You texted me?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I said, hey, girl, are we going to have enough
time to get there? It's already one thirty. Sidney said,
it's says you still at the house.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
You're like, I'm leaving.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'm I'm, I'm I'm leaving out the door. I was like,
you're still And she was still there at like one
thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Damn near one forty. You live in Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
You need to get to mine out on the train
at one thirty eight. I mean it was I still
was too late, but Sidney clocking my location in real
time because I know, I was like, it's foreign. I
was like, I know, this bitch is not I know
she's nowhere near or she needs to be wasn't and
wasn't so but hungry all the way into the city. Yeah,
I'm like, well, my it's this My eta is two ten.

(05:09):
Sydney was supposed to be there like two o five.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
So we get there.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
The closer we get there, the hungrier I am, and
the more I don't want to go see this play. No,
I was gonna be there on time, but it was
torrential downpours and then they're having like a festival, a
food festival in the rain, so it's blocking like the
way to like get the car square to Times Square.
So it was like, are we stuck?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, So how you were oh, but you did the train.
I was on the train.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, and your phone was at like one and my
driver did not have a cord.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Mess He was like, you.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Got an Android, sir, That's not my first choice. That's
never our first choice. Apple products only. Yeah, but also
it's not even that if you if you're the Uber driver,
you gotta have a couple different cords. You gotta have
at least one Apple and one in and like, if
you have the Apple, everybody don't.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Have the new the new Apple, the new iPhone.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
He said, I'm not doing all that. He said, I
got the Android. If y'all got that, then you're good.
He said, I got what I got.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yep, that's it.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
And he didn't. He didn't have no qualms about it.
And then girl tell me why his his roof was leaking.
I don't like that. He was terre. I was like,
I can't believe this is happening. But of course this
is happening. And so I was like, Marie, I'm on
one percent. I'm going to McDonald's. Meet me at McDonald's.
That's a safe landmark. But if it no whick McDonald's.

(06:32):
That's all I was in front of. Could you wanted
some fries. No, Marie, did you get fries or not?
I did get fries. I did get fries, and you
need it to what pee pee? Nobody had a charge
in there. I asked a few. Yeah, people had toothbrush
and toothpaste to brush their teeth in the bathroom, but

(06:52):
they had no chargers. People brushing their teeth at the
sink in McDonald's. That feels like McDonald's tomato. It does
feel on brand, but it's also like what she Meanwhile,
she brushed her teeth sucking on a on an orange
soda right afterwards. It's like, what's the point. You might
as well just have kept it going, kept all the

(07:13):
gunk and the junk going. But also orange soda don't
pair well with minty breath. Like, where was she she
had like a generic toothbrush? Girls she had she had
chunk of letthos on in the rain, So I already
know she she was battling something more than we can
talk about right now. Lol. Yeah, so we, me and
Sidney missed the play. We didn't go. I told them

(07:34):
to release the tickets. I said, I said, we're not
gonna make it. I got the trendy it was two ten,
and then I had to find Sydney and then we
were like, let's just go get food, like let's get
fool instead.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, it sounded real good.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
And the thing is is that some of these plays,
like if you don't get going at the right time,
then you gotta wait.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
You gotta wait for the intermission.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
So you're so you're watching a little pixelated screw like
we're looking at right now the whole place you spent on.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well didn't. We weren't paying for tickets.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
But I remember when I went to Othello, if we
didn't get there fifteen minutes before the time, they're giving
up your ticket.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
You can't get it fifteen minutes.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
You have to be there early, or the giving up
the ticket because there's no late comers, there's no phones,
they're locking everything up. They said, if you don't get
here on time, you will not be seeing mister Denzel.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah. Crazy, And honestly, I feel like that everything should
be that way.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
I feel like I've been late to let's say a
handful of plays, and usually they that first song, they
won't let you walk down the house for that, and
then after that first number they're like, okay, go lady,
but yeah, we so we missed it. And then I
went to the Tony's the next day and people were
like some said Boulevard was really good, and I was like,
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I don't think I missed anything.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
And then it won all these awards at the Tony's
and Nicole won Best Actress, No over Audra, and I
was like, damn, maybe I should have gone to see something.
We could still see it. Yeah, but I don't think
they're gonna They're not comping those tickets. We're gonna have
to come out of pocket for that. No, there's so
many people who listen to the pod hook us up.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
We'll be there on time.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Did you hear what I just said? She won Best Actress,
The tickets are not going to be available anymore. Everybody
in their mom is like, well, I want to go
see the pussy Cat Doll in the in the black
Neglige singing the Dark.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
With the blood coming down, drip drip, damn Marie.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well, I mean sometimes what we learned here in our
mess is that we we got to see it through.
My boy, we got to see it. We got to
see it through. Do you think you could have sat
through a two and a half hour play Hell Stomach. Absolutely,
I would have been mad the whole time, and I
would be nitpicking.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah. I was like, well the lights is bad in here. Yeah,
oh is this Broadway?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
She missed that note? Exactly is this Broadway? Or is
this a high school production?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Exactly? Is this a talent show? And that's a people.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Go to places where they're seeing live performances, and if
you're in a bad mood, if you haven't eaten, you know,
if you got some bad news, yes, maybe this thing
can turn you around.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
But I mean you also are bringing the bad vibes.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, So I think everything needs to be on a
clean slate, you know. But sometimes people definitely pull up
to the comedy shows and it's like, hey, baby, I
can't get you through your divorce. I got fifteen minutes
on his stage and you want me to feel better
about ten years? That's down to draid. I can't help.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
You, and baby, I can't help you through your door. Yeah,
that's the phrase of the week.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Make sure you use that in a sentence at least
one time when somebody's in the bad.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Hey baby, I can't help you through your divorce.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Cannot I got fifteen minutes, fifteen minute. But that's so
funny because then we was on the train going to
get Ramen and we bumped into somebody who listens to
the podcast. Oh that's right, was it I want to
say BB or MEMI mem It was me me. Oh,
I put it in my notes. She was cute too,
She was very cute. Was like girls, you get She said,

(11:01):
I just want you to know that I love the podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
She had a nice and we said she looked really cute.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
She looked. I was like, I love when we see
our Messi's in the wilds.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
They always do us justice for sure. Yeah I'm not.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I've youet to see a messy looking messy exact and
that's what you can be a mess, but don't look it.
I remember when I came back from LA and somebody
was like, don't look like what you've been through this
because I mean I have been wearing that you know

(11:35):
that Bob that I wore the Emmys. It just it
was all things the Emmy's sad, LA depression Bob just
and sunken eyes and just very skinny.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
And they were like a tough enough you guys.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Said, I won't say the name but I don't think
we we don't really speak anymore.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
So oh yo, because of that, I look like what
you've been through.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I saw TikTok yesterday was a guy who was like, uh,
me going through a hard time was the caption. And
it was just him at a party, him him living
his best life, and he was like, yeah this, white
people don't believe I'm going through art And you know what,
and that's why some of our strongest soldiers are battling

(12:23):
something that you can't see. Is that work for you, Marie,
I don't want to be a strong soldier. No, I don't.
I don't anymore. No more battling nothing. I just want
to I want to get up. I want to float
to the next thing. I mean, I guess I kind
of do that already, Like Marie, what I don't want
to I'm not battling.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Your middle name is not sense of urgency, like to
say that you're floating.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, she's a libra. I just you know what it
is is.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I used to feel guilty that it feels like I'm
floating through my life some days, and then I was like, no, no,
I think this is what it's supposed to be for
me personally, because it's people that are like, they get up, they.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Go, they go, go, go, go, go, go go all day.
They get up early.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
They gotta fight traffic, they gotta fight the Starbucks barista.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
They gotta fight to put their baby in a raincoat.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
They gotta fight their husband and make them come come
like it's all these things they fight for. Then they
gotta fight for a place at the table at their
job and YadA, YadA, YadA. And I'm not built for that. No,
my ancestors have been through enough. I'm gonna agree with
you on them.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, so I just I'm not. But sister, we are
gonna work on lateness.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh yeah, totally, for sure. We are gonna work on
because you don't like it when somebody doesn't show up
on time. You like, I'm out. I hate. I hate
when I'm early and people are late. But yeah, if
we all shown up at the same if we're both
showing up at two ten, then cool. Well what if
someone is on time, so now you don't respect their time?

(13:54):
It's not about not respecting. Why am I am? I
gonna do better? I am today, I really try to
do it. I woke up, I hit snooze and then
I was like, I'm getting a lot of extra sleep.
And I got up and it thirty minutes had passed.
Do you know you have thirty minutes? But then I

(14:15):
got up and I shot some content that I needed
to shoot. I got ready for the podcast first, and
then you know, my content took more time than I
thought it would. And then it took a long time
to get to the train. Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
Starting today, today, today, today, now capital T or lowercase
big T, little old big d oh, two day day.

(14:38):
You are gonna work on being on time time management. Yes,
whatever you think your time is at an hour and
a half to it for hour and a half, hour
and a half. So how do you do it? Let
me talk to me about how you get out of
your house in time and hour a by getting ready
an hour and a half, I'll.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Beat Becca today.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
You'll beat Becca well. Now that I get up for
the gym, it definitely helps me start my day.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
And now I know how long it takes me to
make breakfast. Now, so I.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Wake up wherever I gotta be, I gotta see how
long it takes me to get there, and by that time,
I'm already thinking about how much time I have throughout
whatever I'm doing. Now, when you check how long it's
gonna take you to get somewhere, are you putting in
depart at blank time or arrive by blank time?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'm trying to arrive by this time.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
So you got to work backwards from there. I've tried
to do this before. It felt like I was doing
a math problem. I put the address in, I said, Okay,
it's going to take me forty two minutes. That means
I got to be ready an hour before. That means
I gotta start getting ready thirty minutes. Like I was
trying to work backwards and I was like, ooh, that's
too much mathematic. Yeah it's hard, I know, but I
do know that if we're doing something together, one of

(15:50):
us have to be on time. So I know, being
with you, I'm like, I gotta get there before Marie.
I got to because we can't both be sliding in.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Like, hey, y'all, it is up. It is really funny.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
When I get somewhere before Sydney or anybody that I'm with,
I'm very loud about it. Not me getting here before you.
I shame them, But I should be ashamed to thank
you Sidney, Wow, thank you for getting me together on
this close to Juneteenth. I mean, I think we spent

(16:21):
many many years being like, well, get there, when we'll
get there, they're happy that our presence is a present.
They should be glad we got out of bed for
this booze shit. But like, I mean, the more and
more I deal with people, it's like some people just
they don't have no tolerance for it. They're like absolutely not.

(16:42):
Amina used to be like that. When we worked at
the Niche. She would be so pissit us coming in,
you know, ten fifteen minutes late. She's like, I get
from Harlem. We were doing hair, we was doing makeup.
I put rhinestones on my arm. Yeah, Like my friend
is diamond in crusted, like the Moondo diamond's not gonna
be on time. Diamonds is full.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
You know that's not prompt.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Thank you. Wow. There was so many years ago, and
it's like I ain't even got no domins on now,
and it's just like I'm just trying to make sure
my part is right, trying to get sort the part
is right. Damn Okay, my mess is I gotta stop

(17:36):
watching the tiktoks that tell you about like a movie
or show, because whatever they're doing, they're like, even if
it's bad, even if people hate watch it, they promoted
so good that it's like, well, I gotta watch this.
Now they're saying it's bad, so now I have to
watch the bad. So you watch movie reviews and then
if they say something is trash, you feel like you

(17:58):
need to watch it. Yeah, yes, because I was like,
I don't know, they're biased, maybe it's not trash.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Okay, So what movies are we talking about here? List
the couple? Top three?

Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna tell you it's very specific.
One that I watched. Okay, I'm not gonna say I
don't want to say trash. I'm not gonna say trash
because that is harsh. I'm just gonna tell you the
level above trash. It was just like the whole time
I'm watching it, I.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Was just like, why what? Why?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
More? More No, you're you're joking. There's no way what
you're doing. More the Jonathan Major's movie. Now, I watched
straw Tyler Perry, Oh what Geraji p Henson. Okay, I
could not believe my mouth was open the whole time.
The first ten minutes is the worst thing that could
possibly happen in every shot. Waking up late for work,

(18:51):
got your daughter, Oh your landlord's a back to vic.
You you gotta get to school. Oh I don't have
enough money to give lunch to my daughter. Sorry this
is a spoil I should have said spoiler alert. But literally, Oh,
just when you're like, oh, she's gonna have a little
bit of reprieve, it's.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Poorn, rain and car shut down.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Now she gotta walk in the rain, goes to work.
There's a robbery. She just wants her check. They rob
they robbed the job. Oh wait, before they robbed the job,
she got fired. She got fired, and then they said, oh,
you're in cahoots. You're in cahoots with the bank robber.
Oh so it set it off. Oh and I don't

(19:31):
want to give up the whole thing. But it's a
mixed with John Q. Oh you don't want to give
up the whole thing? I did. No, no, no, no,
no no, no, there's more. You have literally people people don't.
I'm like, I'm not gonna say don't watch it, watch it,
but hey, if you was having a good day, have

(19:53):
your good day. If you're having a bad day and
want to feel worse, put that on. Put that shit on.
I'm having a Can I watch that to feel better
about my life? No? No? I literally I was like,
this is so bad. I have to watch something worse
than this to feel better. Oh, to cleanse the path,
to cleanse the palette of trauma. Wait, something worse than that,

(20:16):
worse than that? And I got it? What did you
watch to cleanse your Tyler Perry palth The Mortician documentary?
The Mortician, Yes, documentary is about this family that owned
a funeral home. Okay, white people, black people, No white people,
then if it was black people, it'd probably be funny.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Well, I said, Phedra, Oh, exactly funny.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
I said. This has to be worse than Tyler Perry worse. Okay,
So y'all got to watch this documentary. It's so funny.
Because I only watched the first episode, I haven't got
but basically it's about this funeral home. They it's a
family business, lamb, and it's basically the business is booming.
Everybody's using it. Everybody everybody's using them, and they're mainly

(21:02):
using like for caskets. So then they the son David
finds out like, oh, people want to get cremated and
it's much cheaper.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
So he's figuring out how much people are charging.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
He's like, I'm gonna go lower than that, so I'm
going beneath the rate so that everybody will come to us. Usually,
when you cremate, it takes like, I don't know, like
two hours, so you can really just like cremate maybe
four hours, yeah, to burn a whole body. To cook
a body, yes, barbecue, does it depend like no size, No, no, baby,

(21:35):
It's just it's two hours.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's basically it.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
So then they realized they were like in the first
year of them having cremation without him, it was like
like less than two hundred bodies. This man takes over,
it's in the thousands. It's in the thousands. Now, guess
how they get that high killing people? No, bitch, they're
already dead. What is going on? I'm like, what, he's

(22:02):
the opposite of vigilante. I'm like, no, it's bad, batman.
He's killing people. And then they're like, oh, my dad
also died this morning. Okay, okay, I'll see I see
what you're saying, See what you're saying, but I also
was about to say, did you smunk weed? What? Cause
you said he's killing people. I'm like, they're already dead.
They're coming to they're saying it went from two hundred

(22:23):
to one thousand, where all these new dead bodies come.
He's what he's doing. He's packing in the bodies in
the oven. So instead of putting one body, he's putting ten.
I feel like one yen ten. And so he's like,
he's like, hey, y'all got to stop being attached to
the body. It's gone, the soul is gone. You need

(22:44):
to just be.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Rational about what fact is. They're not hearing anymore.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
And so in the ashes, it's like cardboard and other
things in there, so you're not getting the whole person anyway.
So they scooping up multiple people's ashes and like that's
Uncle Fred. Yes, oh the mortician is mess exactly. It's
but it's so bad. It's worse than Tyler Perry. But good.

(23:09):
So I could go to sleep on that, and they Okay,
dead bodies burned, burned in a group is what makes
you no no what it was? Because he went to jail,
obviously he gets out. They have all the what's the charge,
what I'm getting charged for it? I mean, you know,
dead body, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Basically, basically, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
When you when somebody hands over their body, you're supposed
to there's just what do you call it? I forgot.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
There's like certain things they're supposed to.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Like protocol, protocol as a mortician, like you have to have.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I have no words.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
I have brain frog right now, but brain frog, you
have to have respect for the body. And these people
are paying you for I just want these ashes. I
don't want communal ashes. Well, if you're paying for the
group on uh, that's the team, right. If you you
said it's a less than market rate, you could have
spent a couple extra.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Hundred dollars and you would have had what you needed
to have.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
See, now you sound like him, because that's how he
was in an interview. He's like, what I'm charging to
you fifty dollars and he's like a lot of these
bodies they had said, oh, throw the ashes to see
so there's no ceremony, no nothing. So I think this
is how it started. He was like, it was a
lot of bodies that were like, oh, you know, just
burn them and spread the ashes.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
In the ocean, and nobody's accounting for them.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
He said, So nobody cared about them people anyway, I
need to know what ocean y'all keep spreading these ashes
in there, I'd be swimming. Well, I don't be swimming,
but I'd be putting my feet in. It's not the
dead bodies NEMO in them. Free Willy. They don't want
them ashes mixing the ocean. Free Willy from the ashes
of your auntie. If they don't want it, that's wild.
It's really fucked up for the I feel like, for

(24:48):
the ecosystem and all that. And half the time it's like,
how you know these some of these people didn't even
know how to swim? Why do you buy ocean?

Speaker 2 (24:55):
But them where they supposed to be lent a tree?

Speaker 1 (24:57):
No. I was like, put the ashes in Walmart, That's
what I mean. And this that's what they said Walmart.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Oh like like scatter them at yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
So it's a docu series. It's so good, Marie. I think, honestly,
we need to watch it together. I'll read roch just
because there's so many times where I was like, oh,
this man ain't shit. But the thing is is that
he wasn't pretending, and then you know how they was
getting all the bodies in.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
I don't even want to say. I don't even want
to say. The people don't y'all gotta watch it, but
this man.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Is evil, evil, evil evil. He was doing a Russian
doll with the bodies. Oh, he was like one person
in somebody else's body. No, no, no, no, he was like,
oh that shoulders take the whole shoulder off. What take
the whole shoulder? I'm now I'm ruining it for everybody.
But there's more. There's more episodes, so I'm not even
giving you everything. He's taking the clothes off the bodies,

(25:51):
selling it. This man is making so money. Is greedy.
It's greed, close off of dead whoa selling it. This
why you gotta wash your clothes when you get it
at the drift shop before you wear it.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
You have to wash the stuff because.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
You don't know somebody might have almost got cremated in
that blouse that you're like, oh, this is cute, vintage fit.
Check wash your clothes, right fit, Check wash them clothes
before you put them on your body. I don't want
to say this, but I'm gonna put it out there.
I have a family member that like, they were trying

(26:26):
to get suits for him, and so they went to
Men's warehouse and they got a couple of suits and
they put all every suit on him, and they were like,
all right, the other two, we're not gonna use those.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
You said, I'm not gonna finish it.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
You're just like the way you look, just guarantee the
return policy perfect. How are you going back to Men's
warehouse with dead body crumbs on?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
First of all, let's talk about this.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
How why do they need to try that different suits
on them to see what they look like it's a
dead body because.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
They want they want to make sure it matches the casket.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
You know Black people they like the color cords.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Well, but you don't have to put the suit on
the body.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
You can put it on it next to the lining
of a casket to be like the blue really setting
off the gray.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
It's not like curtains. You can't.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
It's not like curtains. You put it up against what
you got. Actually, see how.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
I got some fabrics, watches not screaming.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I hope this conversation is not triggering for anybody who
had to spread some ashes or put men's warehouse on
a body. But first of all, I just want to
side note, this is mess. This is mess.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Some things are not gonna be right, some things are
gonna be all the way wrong.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
But this is this is why you come here if
you want things to be politically correct and us to
know all the facts and say it in a in
a proper way.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
No, it's not happening. Also, it's a podcast.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
You're not listening to ten ten wins or Fox News
or I don't even know all the news networks NBR. Yeah,

You think? Yo? This woman had a can, a can
that looked like like astrology cards was in it. She
was like, I thought my father was in it. Then

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I just you know.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
I was invited as a content creator, and so the
whole point was for me to create content to get
people to watch the Tonys. And they were like, we
want you to be there, we want you to be
there at one twenty pm, and the Tony started at
eight pm? And I said, well, why would that's mad hours?
And I said, I'm not, I'm not, I will, I shan't,
I can't, I won'ts. But somebody was mad at me,

(30:26):
like I was shooting content while I was running late
and giving people updates that I was like twenty minutes
and then thirty minutes or whatever late. And somebody sent
me a DM and said, do better.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Well, do better. Being late is not cute, Marie. What
do you think?

Speaker 1 (30:43):
I think you don't need to be in my inbox?
DM and me like that, we're just trying to look
out for you, sister. No, listen, I got there. When
I got there, and you know, I didn't miss a
bunch of photo op ops. But I didn't make it
to the red carpet, and that was at like four thirty.
So from from one o'clock till four thirty, and then
from four thirty to eight o'clock it was a lot.

(31:04):
And then my phone was at nineteen percent when the
actual Tony started at eight o'clock. It's too long of
a day. I wasn't even nominated. You were there for
what wo RK work? Right?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
But let the record show even though I was late

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Was already shooting content at the crib about the Tonys, right,
So I was already. It's not like I was late

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Half of the year's gone. Yeah, the other half of

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Or if I have like four things to do on

hard seventy five, like you've been doing it for at
least Dan.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
I'm on my ninth day and so I have to
work out twice a day. So I work out now,

have the video. He's so good. Yeah, he's a professional dancer.
I was like, I don't want to go to your class.
I need to go to the novice class, right, because
he's gonna be on that fast seven day.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
And you're gonna be in the back Like wait, what
what is it?

I've seen you dance before. You you can figure it out.
That was red Bull. This is me just clear clear.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Well can you do like an asai bowl? Can you
do well?

Speaker 1 (34:37):
I'm working on my sugar intake so like I have to.
It depends on what kind of fruits I'm putting in there.
This is crazy, Like, I can't believe I'm doing this
in the summer. This is ridiculous. And I'm like, where
are the apps? My back hurts, my neck and my
back hurt, my legs aching, where are the muscles? Oh?
You think after you said you on your ninth day

(34:58):
you thought you was gonna have abs already?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
I mean, hellol, it's coming.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I feel like Jesus came out the wound with abs
like I need the same. Oh girl, I didn't know
that you knew marrying them like that. I was there
at the births. What you're talking about, you the godmother God?
I was there and everything I was. I was a
what's that wife? The midwe I was the midwife and
then what's that wife?

Speaker 2 (35:21):
The mid one?

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Now Sydney, I feel like you after like thirty.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Days, you'll thirty the results.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
That's what I think. Any days, I think realistically you
need like a month.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
If there's any listeners who are like trying to change
their lives and they're like in this transformative period, like
how long did it take you to be like I'm
seeing results?

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Because that's what I'm here. I'm here for the results.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah. But you know what, Sidney, you not gonna see
the results in you. Somebody else is gonna look at
you one day and be like, oh snap, girl, like
this little boss up, and you're gonna be like, it's
because you see yourself every day and Dwayne sees you
every day. Yeah, so it's gonna take somebody from the
outside looking in to be like oh snaps. And it's

(36:06):
not gonna happen on the ninth day, baby, oh m.
But the thing is okay, So this is what's crazy
because people say, oh, you already look good, you look great?
What are you Like? I was going on stage like
I'm doing hard seventy five and they're like why, and
it's like, baby, it's like more than just I love

(36:27):
a child looking good. It's more about like feeling good,
like being disciplined and sticking to something.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
You know, even though you know, I love giving up.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
I love tapping now, I love giving up. I'd be like,
you know what I got, You got it, you got it.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
You don't want to.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Give up, but sometimes there's sweet relief and giving up.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
I'm not telling you to give up, but I'm saying, like,
you know, sometimes have you like done a plank and
you gotta hold it for like sixty seconds or thirty second,
whatever amount of time, and sometimes you just gotta bend
the knee. You have to tap that knee down.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Oh my god, I go so mu's better.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
But then I don't know, maybe you're disappointed in yourself
because you could have made it all the way, Like
we could have made it to We could have made
it to the play, but we would not have made
it through, Okay, I'm sure of that. I was way
too hungry and the play is two and a half
hours long, and we would have been sitting there in
the dark listening to Don't you wish your girlfriend was

(37:25):
hot like me? No, don't she be sure girlfriend hot
like me? Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
That's it. That's that, yo, we gotta do. Let's talk

(38:10):
about what you're gonna eat for the summer, because Heart
seventy five says the summer's gonna be hard for you.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Well, guys, I've been making breakfast pretty much every day,
so it's like art boiled eggs, like veggies, turkey, bacon.
I think we might get a blender. Oh, I'm gonna
start making smoothie. New developments over there, lend. But the

(38:37):
problem is with the blenders is like, that's so much
stuff you gotta buy.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Produce is expensive right now.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Produce is expensive, but.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
What you mean you gotta get milk or like a
juice base.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I still have dairy, but I've toned down tremendously.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
I don't have no milk, no more.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
No oat milk for you, no almond milk. You still
drinking whole milk like you like it's nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
I love a red cap. I love a red cap.
I stand on that.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
I was raised by the red cap. Wow, the red
cap feel like maga. But bo No, No, not like
that like cat, the red cap on the milk. You
know it's the red cap. No, people who are Republicans,
you knew what the f I men. But I'm saying
Republicans probably drink a whole milk more.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Than anybody else. No, they don't drink any milk.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
They drink a whole milk from the ball. They don't
look like they have they made out of milk. No,
they see through.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
The old milk is like blue States. You know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Okay, well, you know I was raised in a home
where they did two percent milk and I hated that.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
I hate white water.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
I was like, what do you this is? No, honestly,
it was like water down glue. It just was just weird.
It's like, what are you guys doing? And then they
will put the splendor in the corn flakes, the sweet
and low in the corn flake. They're like, oh, we
can't have sugar. I'm like, where am I living? This
is child abuse? Splendor in the corn flake? Yes, so

(40:11):
sticky glue, sast cereal. It was nasty, like there was
so many years. I remember when I finally had tricks. Oh,
I remember Trick. When it was cracked for me, I
was jumping on the walls because I was like, oh
my god, this is pure sugar. Praise be what's your
favorite cereal from when you were a kid. My favorite
cereal to list some few?

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Oh no, no, you got it. You know, I know
the cereal.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I liked cinnamon toast crunch that was good, Fruit Loops
that was cute. I like the Rice Crispy Treats that
was actually rice, like chunks of rice crispy. That was
like limited edition or something like that. For some reason,
they took it off the shelves and I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
We candy. It was the best I remember so good.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
I feel like I had that cereal one time and
then I and then it never was at the store
of again.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
It was like it was like Sprite Remix. Did you
have that? I didn't have that.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Oh I had Sprite Remix in college and I was like, oh,
this is bomb, And then it was gone, what's sprite remix?
It's sprite, but like with a twist, like they wouldn't
explain what flavor it was, but it felt kind of
like tropical issues. Oh it was sprite, but it tasted
like a red some yes, but I.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Tell you it messed me up so bad.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
I had that with Absolute Citron and when I tell you,
it rocked my socks. I said, I'll never touch either
of these again. And then it was off the shelves anyway,
and I said, God, Gods, don't play about me. Yo.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Remember when they tried to introduce purple ketchup or.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Something I don't remember, say purple ketchup or blue ketchup.
It was a different color ketchup, and it was like,
I mean, my mother didn't buy it, but it just
it just looked wrong.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
I think that's.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Why you look so good, because your family didn't introduce
you to all that trash. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
My mom was like, I'm not buying that, and it was.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Like please what purple ketchup? No, yeah, it looks like
you didn't have spam Diana sausages. My dad bought those ones,
and my mother laughed at him, and then me and
my my siblings were like, lim, can I taste it's
a sausage in the can? What is that nasty? Yeah?
But I didn't have spam until recently, like for the

(42:21):
first time, like maybe like two years ago.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
I had spam fried spam bomb. And now what you
eat in the spam with what pears well with spam rice.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Rice, but also eggs, like make it for breakfast and
stuff spam and eggs. Yeaes spam and eggs. You can
make a little spam sandwich.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Yeah, so the spam is the bread.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
No, girl, you put the spam on the bread and
then put like some cheese in it.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Yeah, We're doing all types of things.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
So do you miss spam during the heart seventy five?

Speaker 1 (42:52):
No? I will say. The second day, I'm walking and
I never ever ever seen donut shop like that.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
I would It was like every other block was a
donut shot.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
I said, I would love a glaze donut. Oh, a
gleaz don'nut sound nice? And and the thing is that
has made me so on edge coffee on seventy six
I can't wait to guzzle down an espresso. Are you serious?
So you're gonna go through all of this, You gonna
get the caffeine out of your system in these seventy
five days, and then on the seventy sixth day, you're

(43:24):
gonna wake up and get coffee. This is how but
this is how disgusting addiction is that I'm on the
ninth day, I'm still thinking about and I'm like, I
can't wait till this is over so I can drink
it again. Yeah, but you know what, after the seventy
five days, you might not even be thinking about coffee.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
You might not be missing the taste of it when
you're done. I hope, I pray.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
They say that when you get something out of your
system and you reintroduce it, you're like, this is nasty.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
This actually doesn't taste good at all.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
And I believe that because even at my like worse
in terms of coffee, like having like five shots a day,
I was like, this is so nasty. I would have
to wash it down with like a juice. You drink
espresso and then you watch it down with juice.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
That's not very European.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Girl. I didn't know you was first of all, five
espresso shots a day is wild and crazy and still
going to sleep baby still zzz zzz top.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
That's why I was like, something is wrong with me.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
But it was really that I was immune to the
caffeine because I've had so much.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Because I'm drinking the coffee.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Then doing a Red Bull at night. It was sick
of so what are you what are you prepping for?

Speaker 2 (44:39):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Who is this?

Speaker 2 (44:41):
It was just to have conversations and to be on stage.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
That was all. I wasn't folding no clothes. I wasn't
getting no work done this. You wasn't working on no memoir.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
No, you was just just to maintain.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Okay, well, Sidney, let's okay, you know what. I'm reinvigorated
for the hard seventy five. Okay, that's too much coffee
in your life.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Sis, Oh thank you, mother, drink mother.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Show them your giant thermist of water so the listeners
can see where we at, and I think we're like
right here, there's almost half well, you know, because when
I do my walk later, I'm gonna have to bring
this with me, which is embarrassing. But this is a weapon.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
I wish, I bitch, what like this is I be
carrying it? Like?

Speaker 1 (45:24):
But I remember going to dinner with you guys, and
y'all mate, y'all roasted meat.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Cydny blopped that on the table.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
We were like, yeah, were gonna need a table for
ten because the thermist needs a chair as well. They
wanted me to hold somebody's baby, rosebuds baby, and it's like, well,
Sidny's got our own baby. You got this. It's a
bad dad. I can't wait for you to have your
fall body together, which is crazy because the fall you
don't really show off your body.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
This is when the turtlenecks is poppubut.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
But you can do a crop top under the leather jacket. Nah, girl,
I might if i'm if I'm really like talking my shit. Girl,
I'm not wearing a jacket. I'm not wearing a jacket,
and I'm sleeveless. You think everywhere you think the hard
seventy five is gonna make your anemia go away? Maybe, girl,

(46:14):
because now I'm just putting things in my body that
I never have before, like fruits, vegetables. Wow, that's all
types of I just was not doing it. String beans, cauliflower, cauliflower,
CAULI aleutely spell it. I don't know, but I was
putting it in my mouth. I think we can spell
cauliflower if we tried it together. See a U l

(46:39):
I flower boo. Okay, Callie, no child left behind over here,
but we might.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Have left you bond. Now check our math. Is that
the right way to spell cauliflower?

Speaker 1 (46:50):
It feels right, all right, So Marie, I have I'm
gonna bring mess or just livings?

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Just living?

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Okay? Is this message?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Just living?

Speaker 1 (47:00):
This woman Goods on Instagram and she's like, yep, met
this man. You know we're dating. I'm like this is
the one. We're like planning our future together. And I'm like,
do this is who I want to be with? Boom,
she gets pregnant. She tells him she's pregnant. He like, actually,
run that back. I'm married and you need you need.

(47:22):
I don't even think he offered the five hundred dollars,
but he was like, you got to handle that, get
rid of it. Yeah. So then she goes to the
internet says all this and she's like I can't believe
you know, I'm like forty and this is happening to me,
Like I'm six weeks pregnant. All the comments are like, girl,
you are in enough time to get that. At Bobo,

(47:44):
they were like, do you need somebody to pull up
to plant parenthood with juices? What do you need?

Speaker 2 (47:48):
You want some sweats? You want a two pie set?

Speaker 1 (47:51):
You gotta get, Like, don't don't ruin your life like this, Yeah,
not ruin your life with a baby, but like ruin
your life in like a messy situation. They're like, if
he's already saying I'm not gonna be here for this.
Believe him, Yes, believe him? Is it mess that she
double backed and was like, actually, I'm gonna make this work.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
I'm not with him, but like, I'm gonna have this
baby with or without him. Where does she meet him?

Speaker 1 (48:18):
You know?

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Since you know, I don't know the specifics. I'm listening
in and out, in and out.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Girl.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
We know that she's six weeks, but we don't know
where she met this. No, I don't know if it's
a train, a plane, or hinge. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Is it messy or just living for her to be like,
I'm still gonna have this baby. Yeah, I feel like
it's a little bit of both, but I understand why.
Like you said, she's forty, this could be her last
chance to do it, and you know, at your big
age to be showing up at the plant parenthood or
the gynecologist to terminate a pregnancy. It's like, can you
if this is something that you can do on your own,

(48:50):
and you've decided you want to do it, then I
guess do it. But it's also messy because she's now
gonna be tied to that man forever. Like if he's
telling you to get rid of it, and he doesn't
want no parts. He's not gonna he's not gonna help
you out. But if you want this kid to have
relationship with their father, then you know that's where the

(49:11):
mess is. I don't know. I see so people in
the comments, they're like, okay, so if you agreeing to
like having the kid, then why are you going back
to him and being like, oh I need child support?

Speaker 2 (49:23):
He already said I don't want no parts, right.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
It's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
You know what's mess? Why is it on the internet? Like,
just don't leave us out of it? I don't want
I like, why am I hearing this? I should not
be allowed to hear something so personal while I'm in
the shower. But wig off, that's what the internet is now.
First of all, she said, I'm not gonna get engaged
to this married man. I'm gonna get the engagement on socials.

(49:49):
She said, let me tell you something. This video gonna
go viral and then I'm gonna share my wish list
and get everything that my baby needs.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Maybe maybe that's the train of thought.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
I mean, I know, before I make a decision, before
I post a certain picture, or I'll post a certain video,
I'll message you and be like which one is better?
Or message my and I'll message my sister and I
messaged like a couple different people, and then you know,
based on what the group says, I'll take that into consideration.
But I mean, going on social media to ask people
if you should have an abortion or not? Is is

(50:21):
miss But I don't think she asked that. I think
she was just saying, like, you know, this is what's happening.
Like I think she was like, I don't know what
I'm gonna do, but I mean it was it was
like fourteen thousand comments, I'm sure, and most of them
were like what in support of her or telling her
to you know. Yeah, they were like since what state

(50:42):
you live in? Is it? Because if you and New York, girl,
there's about three other locations quick fast. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
And then other people's like I can't believe all these women,
like this is disgusting behavior.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
What's disgusting telling her she should go to you know,
and she got a good job.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Did she look? What did her house look like in
the background, what was the we'll call the cabinet? Did
she have like with the bead of Queen's size, like no, no,
I just I will say this. I think you know,
if you think that you're ready to have a child,
I'm obviously all in support in that, but I also

(51:22):
think you got to think about the child, like is
this a situation that makes sense for this human being?
Like some things are preventable, and you know, that's how
I think about my mom. Sometimes it's like, Okay, the
first kid, all right, she didn't get it right, That's okay.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
The second kid is like, all right, you know what,
maybe you're working through it. You might be better.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
The third kid. The third kid, you're like, oh man,
I don't want to have this third kid. It's like, Mama,
you gotta close the shop down twenty four hours, no
more new customers. That's that's insane. By the third kid,
you still you're like, oh man, another kid. It's like, yeah,

(52:07):
so you have to do things to make sure you're
not having you're not getting pregnant. I understand that. But
if she did that, then you wouldn't be here. What
would you do? What do No? What would you do
without you? Yeah? Yeah, I wouldn't be here.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
I wouldn't be in the red room with nobody.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yeah. Oh that's sweet.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Oh, my god, I think that was the gayest thing
I've heard. You say, I'll be bro but you know,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
I met a woman.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Oh at that dinner that we was at a couple
of months ago, I met a lady.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
The girl who was sitting next to me, she's pregnant,
and she was saying that she had she she was
an author, and she was a successful, you know, woman
in the corporate world and YadA YadA, YadA ya, and
she was single and she didn't find a partner and
her biological clock ticking and she decided she's having a
baby by herself.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
It's women who decide that they just gonna do it,
and they're not gonna wait for somebody to the right
person or the right time. They're like, the time is now.
I have the means I'm having this baby. Did you
get that she has the means?

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Well, that's why I asked what the lady in the
background her house looked like, like, did it look like
she had the means?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Or was she doing it in her car?

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Like? And what going to go with it was that
in a car. I don't think you need to be
rich to have a child, but I do know the
you know, mental anguish that you have to deal with
when you have like a deadbeat baby daddy. I personally
don't know about that, but that's not all you know,
the mental language. No, no, no, But I know people

(53:43):
who had to deal with that. It's affected because it
doesn't just affect the mother and the child, affects everybody
that's around them. It affects your tribe. It's trickled down.
It doesn't when people make decisions you're like, it's just me,
and no, that's not the case.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
We all all involved.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Now. It takes a village. It does take a village.
But if you have a village that can help you
do it, then do it. But me personally, that's not
the way that I would want to do it. And
I don't even know if I ever need to do it.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
But a liar baby, a married man's baby. I need
to know where she met him. You know what, I'll
go back. I'll find out for you.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
And it's probably something crazy like she met him at
at the Lord's house, she met him at God's house.
You know what I'm giving it's given church, yes, and
he and that means he was he wasn't bringing his
wife to church like he's a teator for multiple in
multiple ways.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
That's O D. Shall we read some of these messages?

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Please.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
My girlfriend and I have been together a year, but
she is the love of my life. There's no one
that compares to her. I want you guys to know.
Both of those sentences had an exclamation mark at the
end of the day. So it's the love of my
life and no one compares to her. A few months ago, though,
I messed up. I had a friend who is also
a lesbian, who was literally just a friend. We barely talked,

(55:08):
but when we did it was usually just, hey, this happened,
and I need advice before I run my mouth kind
of thing. I didn't mention it to my girlfriend simply
because we don't speak that often or about anything disrespectful.
My girlfriend found it and said I broke her trust
for not telling her I was friends with a lesbian.
She is friends with tons and half she's done stuff with,

(55:29):
but never had a relationship. Well months later after, she
said she would get over it because I didn't do
anything wrong technically, she keeps throwing jabs like I hope
you never cheat on me, or I hope you're not
talking to anybody you're not supposed to.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
It hurts my feelings.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
I know I should have told her about it, but
I haven't spoken to this girl since out of respect
to my girlfriend. I need help on how to get
my girlfriend to stop saying these things about me cheating
and stuff, because it really digs at me and puts
me into a space of being with my exes who
all all did this because they were up to something.
What do I do? Oh?

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Wait, so do you think that she's saying that?

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Do you think she's cheating?

Speaker 2 (56:12):
I mean, hit dogs, holla?

Speaker 1 (56:15):
So if you're if you're because like if I see
a message and I'm like, this looks sketchy, but like
I'm like, I don't like this. I don't ever want
to see this again. If you could say okay, then
no problem, then we.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Want to clean slate again.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
But if I keep egging it on and I still
don't trust you and I'm picked, why why do I
not have no trust at all? You just y'all were
just friends. You're like, you didn't tell me I didn't
like that, but you didn't do anything, So why would
I keep like pegging you about? Oh? I hope you

(56:53):
don't cheat on me. Oh, you didn't tell me nothing.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
I need to know how she found out. Did she
go through your phone?

Speaker 1 (56:58):
You know she did?

Speaker 2 (56:59):
She was through your phone had so.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
It sounds like your girlfriend didn't trust you in the
first place for her to be going through your phone,
and now every time she sees you talking to somebody,
she's like happy, don't cheat it, do feel like something?
Why is she so suspicious? Is she hot in something?

Speaker 2 (57:17):
And why is she going through your phone? The people
need to know that's mess. Leave my phone alone.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Yeah, when you have that like feeling in your heart
and in your gut, that's like, let me get that
cold because I'm going through that phone.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
You already you're going out the door.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
You got you gotta leave because it's like, if I
feel like I have to break your trust to get
the truth, that's too many steps that we laps and
obstacles were going through. It's just like get somebody.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Else, Yeah, do something else.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
And you're telling us that you weren't saying anything crazy,
you weren't being disrespectful. You were just asking like, hey,
this happened, like asking for advice and stuff. So if
that's all that it was, what did she see that
made her so upset exact because it's a lesbian.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
I don't know what she looked like there, it is,
she probably cute. She probably a cute ass lesbian, maybe
a little bit younger.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
She and those two piece fashion over sets, looset heels,
and you're like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
No, no, no, that's not just a regular friend. You
know what I'm saying. She wasn't in no a six
sweat and suit from Tzara, a pretty little thing, two piece,
Like I said.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
One of those lesbians with the lashes and you know,
microbladed eyebrows.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Lesbians with lashes, they exist SEMs.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
I don't know. I think I would. I would sit
down and be like, hey, okay, I thought we had
a clean slate. I said, I would not do this anymore.
I like, I won't lie to you or won't not
tell you information. I thought we moved on. You keep
bringing this up? What's up? What is this about? Yeah?
You need to hit her with one of these a
If you can't forgive me for this, if this is

(58:59):
something that is you're gonna hold over my head forever,
then maybe we should go our separate ways. Maybe we
should go our separate ways. That's the title of the episode. Yeah,
