Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm in the holiday spirit, so I extra love you guys.
I feel so warm and fuzzy right now.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Did you drunk.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hungover from the weekend? What'd you do this weekend?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
One of my besties had like a, I guess it's
Christmas giving? Mm hmm, like a friends giving type of
friends miss yeah, and it was lit. We ate, we drunk.
I you know, I'd be really feeling like people be
expecting me to be entertainment because y'all know I travel
with a mic, right, So I did travel with my mic,
but I just wasn't on it this weekend. No, No,
(01:18):
I don't know what I did. I did you were
on something else. I definitely was on drugs. Okay, now
got me a couple of little addies I've been holding
on to. So to get there, I had to stay
awake to drive because you know, a nigga's gonna be
like in drive. So I was on the addie this
weekend and I did some shrewm gummies and then the liquor.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So I was really like, I'm starting to the c spaceship.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Bitch. I was like sitting down being quiet. It was
the weirdest thing, and like, actually, bitch, I was there,
but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I was really in.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
My fucking head the whole time. And it's fucking weird, bitch.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
What cool sounds like very relaxing.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But it was fun. We had some real good ass food. Okay,
oh god, damn, I forgot the chef's name. Anyway, he's
out of Dirham. He's so good man.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
This is the second time it was it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So he does like Asian fusion kind of so and
you know he always has like a little vegan or
something for me. So he had the oyster mushrooms. Ain't
just for me, but you know, just for anybody who
doesn't eat the meats, but he did like like Wagoo sliders.
I know, y'all meat eaters now, y'all. I went from
Lamb chops, the Wagoo, the thing with the with the
Wagoo burgers. Though, okay, if thirty if if if an
(02:47):
ounce of Waggo steak is thirty five dollars, I just
don't believe you're getting a whole burger mm hmmm for
a little bit of money. It doesn't make sense to me.
So what do y'all are? Y'all just don't really eating
regular beef okay, regular exactly and calling it wagu because
people don't even realize that oxtail is just fucking cow.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Also, it's just the ass cowtail, that's all it is.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So I don't know. I don't know about that Wago,
but it was like a whole, nice little spread. Met
some nice people this weekend. I love meeting new people,
making new friends. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Fun.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I worked this weekend. You know, this time of year
is very busy, so I worked a lot. But then
on Sunday I went to our college friend Jamaica's.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Happy belated birthday.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Jamaica run and baby.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
When I tell you, I'm like, I'm hungover right now,
you guys, I got so drunk and I didn't drink
a lot though. It's just that I've been eating so
light that just a little bit of liquor took me
to the next level. And y'all we played UNO, and y'all,
I knocked over to UNO table. I took my whole
folk and sweet that motherfucker. Because they're gonna try to
(04:04):
say that you can put a draw four on a
draw like it was three draw twos on top of
each other, and they're gonna put a draw four on
top of that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Y'all got me fucked up. If y'all think I about
to draw what eight six.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
A lot ten? Half the damn deck.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
No, I knocked the table over.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
This is why I don't play cards with niggas, because
they be making up rules, man, Like, okay, we're playing
in real rules, or were doing nigga rules.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Right, because how you gonna put a draw four on
three draw twos? That is illegal?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
But when people do do stacking, and you know, right,
can't you throw out all those wild cards at one time?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
You can stack, but you can't stack a draw four
on draw twos. You can stack draw twos and you
can stack draw fors, but you can't stack. You got
it right, yes, So now you try to cheat and
now you're trying to pick up your six. You're trying
to make me pick up ten. I not the table
over the table fellow this nigga bee. He was like, damn,
you're trying to fuck up my leg, like yo leg?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So was the game over after that? No?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I picked the table back up.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Childish sh We played a lot of fun games too.
They had like some shit on the TV, like you
press the button on your cellphone like so the questions
come up on the screen. So they had like black
holiday movies and shit like that, and you got to
read it and whoever hits it first, like you get
up like in the running on the screen though, but
it was very interactive. I'm like, what the fuck I
(05:32):
wish I would have came up with that shit, like
you really playing the game, like you read it on
the TV and you pressed about on your phone and
then it goes to the TV like who's winning?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh that's dope.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
We played the game they had. It was a card
game where it had QR cod's in the car and
they play a song, right and you had to sing
a song and then it all cutout and you have
to keep singing where it cuts out. And if you
didn't keep singing where it cuts out, you had to
take a shot. That shit was too because it was
all R and B like nineties and two thousand songs
(06:04):
and shit like that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm trying to find the name of the app. I
can't find it. Anyway, it was lit. Yeah, we had
a good time. And look, so everybody was required to
bring a gift, right, and then like with the games,
who have won, you pick a gift, you know, like
the Secret Santa type shit, you pick whatever gift. I
just really wasn't picking no gift for real, and I
just when the games and all that shit was over,
I just picked up the last gift, the last gift,
(06:30):
the last gift that was sitting by the fireplace all
by his lonesome. All it was was like a water jug, right,
And the nigga who brought it, he was like, oh,
you got that gift. He was like open up the jug,
though you look and see something else, and I was like, okay,
so I go open up the jug. It's a fucking
pregnancy test. And then like we what it's right here.
(06:51):
It's a dollar store one two dollar twenty five. I
bye him should be accurate.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, just as good as any other tests.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But oah no, So like this is my week. My
period just went off, and I've been tracking my ovulation,
so I missed the window to try to get a Gemini.
So like Virgo was next up for me, right, I
was trying to do the Virgo and then Libra. So
the end of the year, like coming up this into
January fourth would be my ovulation time to get the
(07:22):
to get a virgo. So maybe maybe it's a sign
I might get pregnant in the week.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm gonna pray for it because I need me a
little niece, a nephew.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
All my friends pregnant. Man, it's a lot of pregnant
bitches out here. They every time an old bitch get pregnant,
I just get more and more. Hope.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yay, let's get into scenes. What happened?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
What we got going on? Okay? This a little boy,
Travis Hunter. Y'all knows he won the Heisman? What team
is he playing on? Because I know this that he
just got drafted? Where's I mean? I really don't know
much about him. What I do know about him is
what the internet is keeps, you know, talk about about
his girlfriend. His girlfriend is Leanna Lenney. I know, I
(08:11):
don't know what her real name is, but yeah, so
a couple of weeks ago they were getting on her
because she was being real impatient while he was at
an event, asking like am I just supposed to be
sitting here? And we talked about it then.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, and then she didn't stand up when everybody was
giving him a standup of ovation and the coach had
it to her life stand up baby.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, So the internet has been picking their relationship apart,
picking her ass apart, bringing up old video. She was
in somebody's rat video, she was at somebody's party, what
you know, taking pictures with a nigga. All type of
stuff they're bringing up. So Dravis Hunter has deactivated his
Instagram page because he can't take it. Y'all really about
to ruin that nigga's career, really talking about his mental health.
(08:56):
He's twenty one.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
These are kids right alone.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, Like he's not gonna get some He could get
like a maybe some super wholesome twenty one year old
who probably was groomed to be an NFL or NBA
wife he could probably get that, probably gonna be a
white girl. But these this is a regular. I think
she's like Hispanic or something like that. So I know
the black woman. Y'all probably want to see him on
a low brown girl. Okay, it might not happen, and
(09:22):
it's okay. That's this is his preference, This is what
he wants to be doing, and I think people should
stay out of it. I don't know why, they just
like dragging it so much.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Not.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What I will say is that whatever he decides to do,
just make sure he talks to his attorney along the
way and make sure all his PaperWorks straight. Because she
does have a money signed tattooed on her ring finger.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Okay, yeah, just let.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
The kids be kids and do anything and stay out
of it. There ain't nothing but a bunch of grown
motherfuckers too, you know, very intive in these children's relationship.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I can give a fuck.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So Deone Sanders actually came out and said something. He said,
I've tried my best not to get into Travis's business,
but I had to after seeing this. I'm here to
tell you, brother, wake up and quit playing. She talked
all that stuff about you, saying she was going to
address the situation once but kept talking about it. He said,
(10:18):
she loves the attention way more than you. She thinks
she isn't equal to you. I can tell you're a
great dude, and I promise there is a woman out
there who is going to make your life easy and
respect you. From what I can see, she has nothing
to offer but a major headache. What you got to offer,
She's not the one.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I just feel like nobody can decide that for you, like,
just stay out of it.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I think he might be you know, projecting a little
bit because of what went on between him and his
kids mom. It was a video recently, like they all
were on the field as soon as the mama walk
up deon sans fuck up about it here, you know,
because she I mean, during the divorce it got real
nasty and she said, like you know, she accused him
of abuse and abusing the kids and all that, all
these things like to have the upper hand in the
(11:07):
courtse I. So you know, he's speaking from experience. And
I also I remember remember we had Brittany Reener. He
brought her like to the school. Yeah, yeah, basically because
it is a thing and it probably should be a
course studying these holes, for.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Sure, But I just think, like I don't know, focus
on football, focus on making him a good player, you know,
all that shit when when you're in love with somebody,
ain't nothing nobody can tell you. You have to go through
it on your own, you know. So just make sure
he's focused on being the best athlete he can be
(11:47):
and let him figure out his love life on his own.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Because secondly, it's been working. They've been together for five years,
so it's not new regardless of what he's gotten to
where he is now with some of her energy. Right, Okay,
y'all may look at it like it's just like super
toxic or whatever, but obviously it's working for him. She
does something for him to where he's still been able
(12:11):
to operate. Now what's going on now? Yeah, he has
to now deactivate his Instagram to try to block out
the noise. Now he's not focused.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Right, So let that baby be, Let them, both of
them be, because she's just a little young girl too.
You know, she's not making probably all the best choices,
but she's still trying to figure it out. So, yeah,
he might have seven other bitches by the time he
get married.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You know who knows?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, I don't know. It could be my son. I'm
gonna tell you that shit now, it.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Could be what's a what's a man? Or a woman
has decided they love somebody. It is hard for you
to be from the outside and break that shit up. Exactly, Okay,
Erica Mina, so I saw this up for the weekend
aologizes to Nicki Minaj after really experiencing Safari for herself.
(13:05):
So she was saying, how like she's painted to be
this villain and painted to be like, uh, just this
hard person to deal with, and he has pretty much
created that dynamic. Like when she jumped that fence, she
was like, he let her in, he let her through
the gate, and then when she got there made it
seem as but why if he let you in, why
(13:28):
you had to climb the fence?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You know? But we didn't see her. We didn't see
her climb of fence. He said, she climbed the fence.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
No was wasn't it a video of her like going
over the fence on the ladder?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, I didn't see, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
But I mean, but then she also said that you
told me that my child was hurt you know, you
told me my child.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Was hurt, and yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
So of course I'm climbing the fence to get my baby.
I don't give a damn.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh, maybe he let her in the gated community. Had
the guard let her in, right, but then once getting
to his house he would and let her in, And
maybe that's when she climbed the fence, like you lit
the guard. You had to guard lit me in. But
now I can't get to the house and you're a
messaging me telling me something's up with the baby.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Right and then recording.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, I could see men doing that type of shit.
She's saying, he's a narcissist. I don't know. I mean
what happens when two narcissists get together. Because we've seen
Ericamena in action and other relationships, and I mean, it
could just be entertainment, scripted reality TV we were actually
seeing and maybe that's not who she is, but based
on what we have seen, she'd be cutting up.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, because just from her first appearance on Love and
Hip Hop, she jumped on Kimbella because Kimbella was doing
modeling for cheaper Is that reason.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
The very first you.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Know video with Ericamena, she literally jumped on that girl
at a nice place like.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
TV.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
How your ass acting food? But you know it does
make me think though, you know, how like you get
into a relationship, and this is really why I don't
trust niggas who'll be talking shit about the ex about
the baby mamas. I don't believe you because we know
it's two sides to every fucking story, right, and you
nine times out of ten you may never hear the
other person's side, maybe until the end of the relationship, right.
(15:21):
You know. So now she's apologizing to Nicki Minaj because
she partakes. She part took in some of the shit
talking right, going off of what Safari had to say
about Nicki Minaj. But now she gets to see who
he is for herself.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
For herself.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I was dating this producer and the super producer, and
the whole time we went on this particular day, all
he did was drag his wife ex wife. Well they're
like going through a divorce, drag her. She's just she's
just that, she's I mean, he spent so much time
talking about her. I was kind of like tuning him
(15:57):
out and looking at my phone and finding sins for
the show bro, Like who wants to hear that, you know,
I don't want to hear about yo bitch. Then later
on in another conversation, he was like, yeah, she says
I talked about her. I never talk about her, And
I was like, yeah, you do. You talk my head
(16:18):
off about this woman, So you do talk about her.
And if you talked about her to me that much,
imagine what you're saying to other people.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I know I talked about my extra exes. I sure
do on dates. No, not on dates, absolutely, but on
this motherfucker this show right here, So talk about your
ass on here, apps, because I mean, it could be therapeutic.
But like if you just always ah, okay, not on dates.
(16:48):
But I have like been in like situationships with people
where I may have mentioned my ex one too many times.
But I feel like people recognize when you do it,
but they don't hear when they talk about people that
they fuck with before. I just have the same constant person.
You're telling me about twenty different women in the last
five years of your life, right, I'm talking about the
(17:10):
same nigga. So it might seem excessive mm hmmmmm, But
I do try try very hard and not talk about
these fucking niggas. Okay, to the next, to the next,
because I think that sometimes men subconsciously treat you how
the last man treated you because they think that you
can handle it. You know, I've been through it, So
keep all your dumb bit shit to yourself. They tell
(17:33):
these niggas nothing, they will use that AMMO against you, girl. Okay.
So Fat Joe was on this podcast, my expert Opinion
podcast by this battle rapper math Hopeful Hawfu ho f FA.
You know him?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I follow him?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Oh okay, I hear that. I like battle rap but
I never heard about him. I never knew about him,
but I did see he battled Hitman Haller at some point.
I like Hitman. But anyway, so Fat Joe was on there,
and Fat Joe essentially said, fuck these FBA niggas.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Y'all know what FBO broke niggas.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
FBA is financial financial foundational Black Americans, so like descendants
of slaves essentially. So he's on this show and he
was saying how this is a very radical and racist group.
He basically says, do you see he says, do you
(18:32):
see this explicit who runs them? Or maybe he's saying,
do you see this nigga who runs them. You gotta
be fucking kidding me. So they're trying to change the
narrative because they're not from New York, so they're telling
a whole other story. So the thing was that the
FBA is basically saying, like Fat Joe, them weren't hip hop,
(18:53):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Black, right right, which I don't agree with.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I don't agree that, like Hispanics did make a contribution
to hip hop that I just did not agree with
Fat Joe's rhetoric like broke niggas.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
These broke niggas, Like I'm just not. I'm not.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That makes me very uncomfortable because you don't identify as black,
you know. And I know we sometimes give Hispanics a
past because of culturally their experiences in our communities.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Well they were I mean, and also Hispanics most right,
particularly Puerto Ricans okay, Dominicans Okay, y'all. Some niggas, Okay,
they are black, you know what I'm saying. They literally
mixed with African or black whatever wherever it came from.
(19:48):
The This is why I be trying to get away
from like the black African American thing, right because and
I don't one hundred degree agree with FBA right, because
some of their rhetoric is extreme. I don't know if
y'all ain't been on Clubhouse and to see them in
action on Twitter and shit, it do be nasty, right,
But at some point we do have to delineate right
(20:09):
between Black Americans, right, people who are from this land
and everybody else.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Right, because why can't nothing be.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
For us ever? Ever? Nothing? You know? So people love niggashit,
but they hate niggas right. So what Fatcho was saying
was really anti black. Its fuck to me, Yeah to
me as well, because we are some broke niggas, how
abou dad, and that we've been trying to get some
fucking money. So the FBA, they really be focusing on
(20:40):
reparations and things like that. But in order to get that,
you have to we have to be able to tell
the government this particular group of people, not everybody who
has brown skin.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And it was broke niggas that was leaning back with
you. You know, it was broke niggas that was doing the
lean bag. It was broke niggas that help you to cool,
you know, So exactly this is laughing a face to
say that as far as I'm.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Concerned, And why do they get this? You niggas?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Some yeah, some Hispanics use niggas as a derogatory term
against Black people. It's not a term of affection or endearment.
It is used to call us something bad. So it's
just unfair. It doesn't seem right, especially in the context
that you're using it, you know. And it's crazy for
somebody non black that say they're racist broke niggas, Like
(21:29):
you can't call somebody racist and then in turn say
something racist about them, like you literally made a racist
statement right after that, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So I don't know it's a slippery slope because.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's not slippery at all. It is what it is.
It's not slippery. And that's why we need to draw
a line somewhere, you see. But black people, black Americans
are very inviting. That's why we're in a position wherein now,
from the beginning of time, we've been letting people come in.
(22:03):
And we lost the war at the shores when the
motherfucker's first.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That's how we ended up boat exactly, not.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
On the boat, being enslaved on our own land. That's
what happened. The majority of the slaves did not come
and o goddamn boats. These people came here and enslaved
the people of this land, the broken niggas he talking about.
So yeah, he needs to watch his mouth. That's And
I don't think this is the first time like people
have been coming at Fat Joe about the use of
the word nigga and shit like that either, right, So
(22:33):
it's it's a big conversation around the whole thing. Now
I'm gonna I'm gonna dig in it a little bit.
But yeah, like I what uh it was one of
the awards. I don't know if it was the Grammy something,
but the Hispanics were feeling like like they weren't being
included enough for it was something going on. But it's
(22:53):
like nobody, nobody creates a table for us. Nobody he
ever gives us a seat at their table. They try
very very hard to actually separate themselves from us when
it actually matters, right, So we really be on a
boat by ourselves and people be tugging at our fucking
(23:14):
ankle for help all of dayn time. If black people
foundational Black Americans, which I don't, it's just weird, right
because I don't. Everybody is not a descendant of a
slave either, right, but everybody is a descendant of Everybody
in the diaspora is a descendant of like Jim Crow
and almost we had a whole episode on this stuff
of all the nasty ass things that came after slavery
(23:37):
that then affected black people across the diaspora. So that's
even larger conversation. But I don't know. I just I
just think that people need to watch their fucking mouth.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
That's what I think. Watch your mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
And then you sit in the room that dude, that
the batter rapper, I believe he's Jamaican, So neither one
of y'all are Black Americans, Right, that's why you could
keep ki key and think that shit fucking funny.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's not okay. It's hurtful. It's hurtful. But you know,
I think he's getting a.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Lot of backlash because of it, Like and I think
maybe he he might not give a fuck, but he should.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
He should definitely give a fuck. He needs to. Maybe
we need to get a museum. We do have museums.
Go to the African American Museum and see why the
fuck what you're saying isn't okay. Like the same way
that you have the ai AD, I l the um
At Anti Defamation Deformation League for like the Holocaust and
the Jews and shit like that. Like we need some
(24:38):
ship like that. When you cross us, you got to
go do twenty steps like Kyrie Irving had to do
when he quote unquote offended those people. Like we need y'all.
We need y'all to go do the same type of
shit because obviously y'all don't know why it is we're
in a position we are in now. It's not by
hamper stance.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And you don't care that it's hurt. You think you
just get a pass for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't fuck with fact Joe today.
You shouldn't even have told me about that shit. Look,
I know I reported on it, but Tammy brought it
to my attention earlier and we had a whole, big, long,
drawing out conversation prior to this ship. I might not
want to say on Wax, but boy, fuck you. Okay,
get the show started anyway, y'all. It is the day
(25:23):
after Christmas, Merry Holidays, all that shit, Merry Christmas, and
you know this is like the weird week. It's like
it's like there's Christmas and then it's like maybe people
have to go back go back to work. Maybe they don't.
They just trying to get their life situated for the
New Year's It's like.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
If you do go back to work, do you really
give a fuck about work?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
For nobody this week? Don't count, right, y'all, Dad, I'm here.
It's just I'm here just because I gotta be, and
that's it. Don't ask you to do it for real, right, So,
I think the only people who really working is people
trying to sell get them cars off their lot.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
By the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
That's yep, le you're gonna get me one.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I'm going to get one.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I got to y'all. Let me tell y'all, I have
a range drover in my heat. Like in the past
two months, I swear, ship after ship after ship is
just fucking up. Like the Pulley system fucked up. Then
something went on with where the reservoir for the cooling.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh so you have a heating and you have a
cooling issue with your card the heat and not working.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I already got that fixed and now just like literally
two days ago, I have no heat and it's fucking
freezing out.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Do you have add a freeze in the car?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yes, because they just like, literally a month ago, they
fixed the cooling reservoir some shit, so because the air
wasn't working or something like that. So I got that
fixed and now it's another issue. So now I like,
the only reason I've been warm the heat off the
engine is the motherfucking heated seats and heat is steering.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
No, no, I'm getting out this motherfucker next week. I'm
done with this range Rover.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Range Rovers and land Rovers. They look nice, yeah, but
they are, like they're not the best cars.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm moving on over yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So yeah, So the topic this week we wanted to
talk about like post Christmas, uh economics essentially, right, So
the economics of post Christmas returns, sales and debt.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And lots of it.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay, so we're back, and so you know, I think
the holidays and being at the very end of the year,
it does affect your finances going into the new year.
I think a lot of people do more spending than
they actually should and new Year come around and you're
trying to dig yourself out of a hole from the
(28:01):
previous year. Personally, I don't be buying a whole bunch
of shit. One of my nieces told me she wanted
to with those little braces with the charms Pandora, the
Pandora bracelet thing. I got her a pair of sneakers,
and you know, usually I and that's because she asked
for it. I'm buy a shit for nobody else. But
(28:23):
usually I just give out scratch offs that I put
my name on the back. I sign it though I
signed them before I give it to them. So maybe
that's all I'll do this year. Maybe I'll just go
buy everybody two dollars Mega million or Powerball tickets and
see if somebody win. Like, yeah, this is just another
day like the Holidays when I have my own kid,
like I am going to create my own traditions with them.
(28:46):
I'm not. I probably won't be celebrating Christmas real.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
No, I try not to do a lot of Every year.
I end up always overspending because something jumps into my
spirit and I just like want to buy everybody everything
I can potentially afford, because I just enjoy seeing people
open gifts and like, oh, how does it make them feel?
(29:11):
I love to see like nothing hurts my feelings more
than disappointment on somebody's face when they opened up my gifts.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Oh my god, I'm heartbroken.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But this year, I ain't do that. I did not
go crazy. I did not overspend. I adopted a kid
and bought gifts for that child, you know. And then
that's really all I did. I didn't buy nobody else shit.
And I me and my sister, we always exchange gifts.
I was like, don't give me nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
She's like, what do you want? I was like some,
I guess some Cris White strips. I was like, but
I can literally go to the grocery.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Store and get that for myself. Like I don't need to.
Just don't buy me nothing because I really need nothing,
you know.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
And I sacrificed, Like do you see my fingernails. They
look crazy. I have not gotten them done. I use
my nail money to buy that kid.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Kid.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Yo, So it's just gonna be ugly until they do year.
That's just what's gonna happen. And I'm thinking about going
to press on.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Nails that should be looking nice.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah, that's what I'm about to do. I'm about to
soak these off and get me some press offs and
calling them.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Maybe I'll try to make my own like design them.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
No, no, I ain't doing that. I ain't got time.
That shit would be hit d us.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I really don't like like the nails because they fuck
up like your nail bad. And I like my natural nails.
I like when my nails grow out. Right now, they're
not because I ain't been on Vitamin D for a
couple of months. I haven't had my like real vitamin regimen.
But yeah, I apologize shit this weekend on my homegirl.
Shit they ugly at hell, chipping toenails look the same,
but just to match my dress, that's it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I got my first petticure since I broke my feet.
I had to.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I had to because my feet looked like if I
didn't go get my feet done, I was gonna be
able to snatch your salmon out the stream.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Was crazy. Yeah I didn't spit on that, but after that,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
But I just feel like everybody has been in like
a financial You can feel the economy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Squeezing the life out of us, like if.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Is it really? Because I still feel like people still
spend a lot of money on bullshit, people still acting
like they got it, which is why these motherfuckers keep
reving and shit up, I got it when I got it.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I mean, I've been holding a dollar so tight. The
ego on that motherfucker, just the what of God, I've
been holding a dollar tight?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
So all right, So this article I'm reading, it's actually
from Forbes. It says the holiday season, often referred to
as the most wonderful time of year, leaves behind a
mixed bag of emotions and financial consequences. Once the decorations
come down and the festive chair subsides, many individuals are
(32:05):
faced with the reality of holiday spending. Let's delve into
the financial aftermath of Christmas, exploring their surgeon returns and
the allure of post holiday sales and the lingering weight
of debt, along with actionable tips for recovery and smarter spending.
(32:25):
So you got people returning a lot of shit. There's
a lot of buyers or morse after Christmas. Maybe somebody
returning your shit because they need the money, right, So
make sure y'all provide those gift receipts with y'all stuff,
And don't question. If you don't never ask them, you
never see them wearing your shit, Like, don't ask, no questions.
(32:46):
They spend the money on something they really need it.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I do have a confession.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
So I did buy myself a very expensive bottle of perfume.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Me too, Oh how much very I gotta sail though,
one hundred eighty dollars.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
But you got some creed the Queen of Sce that
smells so good. I could not.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I do want to bottle creed.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
And then my sister like a little demon sitting on
my shoulder, Yeah, get it, get it, get it, get it.
Because I was like, do you think I need to
buy that? I was like, that's expensive. She's like, you
should treat yourself. Treat yourself to one thing for Christmas.
So then I bought it, and I was like, oh,
I smelled so good.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I wore. I got compliments on how good I smelled.
But then I was like, you just spent nearly five
hundred dollars on a fragrance.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Go take that ship back. So I went to take
it back. As I did, I would write the Queen
of Silk, okay, smell good. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I went to take it back. They would not take
that ship back. They was like, oh man, this is open.
We can't we can't resell it, yeah, and I was like, oh,
I ain't out.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
That's how y'all did. I thought y'all was like Target.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
So normally what I do, because I do have some
I love like a good fragrance. So I just bought
a bottle of Joe Malone, which is not five hundred
dollars for this bottom.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
But that's it, this really nice fragrance.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
But I try to catch like Sephora sacks like they
usually have, like Coupon's, specifically sacks for Creed. Now I
don't see it this year, but I know for sure
last year they had Creed on sale half off. Damn yes,
last year, so you gotta I'll just be buying shit, y'all. Listen.
I don't like paying full price for nothing because I
(34:39):
know the value of shit, especially in America, you ain't
getting the value that you think you're getting for the
price point. So I'm always trying to find a fucking deal, bitch. Okay.
I don't like feeling like I got finessed.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
I definitely felt like I finished myself because well, am
I buying five hundred dollars perfume? But it's not so good.
I just like one squirt enough it's so concentrated, it's
so powerful.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
So y'all gonna smell meat like that all year.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You don't ask to use me ship.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
No, you can use my vanilla sky cheap TJ Max shit.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, I got some nice fragments is from TJ Max
shallow I usually mixed with my expensive shit, like just
to just get a long last and smell all day long.
Because with the ship from TJ Max, you can spend
at a thousand time. Don't give a fuck. It's about
only costs me twenty five dollars. I'll go get another one,
buy the bulk.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Like that's what my sister be doing. I'd be like,
do you have on enough? Like She'll be like, She'll
come in the room and I'll be like, bitch, do
you have on enough? And she'll be like, it's not
that much. And then it'll be like you can see, Like.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I'm like, it should not be able to stay.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
On your damn clues. Shame anyway. The rush to return
gifts that says returning or exchanging unwanted gifts has become
a hallmark of the post Christmas season. According to retail
industry reports, nearly thirty percent of all holiday purchases are returned,
creating a logistical challenge for retailers and an economic ripple effect.
(36:21):
Retailers often occur costs from processing returns, restocking items, or
marking them down for reseal. For consumers, the process can
lead to and Paul's spending, a phenomenon known as boomerang effects,
where shoppers end up spending more during returns than they intended.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, that's that girl math shit. You know you're going
there and like I already you know, I returned this
and now I have seventy dollars.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
And you add another seventy to it.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Yes, like I got one hundred and forty dollars worth
of stuff for only seventy.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
You know that's girl math because it's not only seventy.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
You already spit it, right, that's definitely the fucking girl math.
All right. So here's a pro tip. It says to
avoid impulsive purchases while returning gifts, set a strict budget
beforehand and stick to it. Consider asking for store credit
instead of cash to reduce the temptation to overspin. So, yeah, like,
(37:20):
motherfuckers be returning some shit to add that to something
more expensive, So really, you haven't saved anything anything.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
I know, I'm a victim of that. Like it was free,
but it was free.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
It was not free at all.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Money stupid, just.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
A thing, right. The lore of post holiday cells retailers
capitalize on the post Christmas period by offering steep discounts
to clear out on wanted inventory. While this can be
a golden opportunity for savvy shoppers like myself, okay, it's
also a potential trap for those who have already stressed
their stressed their finances. Then the psychology of finding a
(38:06):
deal often leads to over purchasing, exacerbating financial stream.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
And I just think that makes me think about like
single moms and how they will go to the ends
of the earth for their babies and sacrifice to make
sure it's ship under that tree. I'm talking about it.
If somebody listening might have got so christ period, you know,
(38:33):
they're gonna do whatever, it texts me because they don't
want their child to feel like they're going without, you know.
And it's kind of sad because really that's not even
what Christmas is about. I mean, it's about the birth
of Christ.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
If we're gonna talk about it, is it I mean,
that's what it's supposed to be about. That's what it
initially was about. You know, the wise men brought gifts
because of the birth of Jesus Christ, not so your
king can have an electric Lamborghini, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
So it's really like, I remember when I was young,
my grandmother would give me a brown paper bag with pecans, oranges,
apples mints in it, and I used to be like,
what the fuck is this? You know, it's so ungrateful.
I just didn't understand. Like, but when she said, you know,
(39:27):
that was what she was, what she got when she
was a little girl, and that's all they got, you know,
and that would be their only time to have fruit
and mints and nuts, Like they didn't get to eat
that shit. So having that this is my great grandmother, y'all.
So this is early nineteen hundreds. She was born in
(39:48):
nineteen twenty one, So having some mints and pecans was
a treat and I didn't respect it or understand it
as a young girl. I just was like, I don't
want no fucking range just for Christmas, you know. But
now I would kill a small animal to have my
grandmother back bringing me a bag of mintce, oranges and apples.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
You know, some people were in the sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
A small animal. Yes, to have my grandmother bag with
a bad a brown paper bag with that bullshit, isn't it. Yes,
I'd be so happy to get there right now.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Well, historically, some may argue that Christian Christmas began at
more of a pagan holidays because a lot of the
traditions are kissling, kissing in the misslete, leaving food out
for some spirit. So it's a lot of things people
be doing and not realizing what it is that they're
actually partaking in, you know, putting the tree up and
(40:45):
decorating the tree and all these things. So I believe
it was a counter by the Romans. Christmas was a
counter to a pagan holiday saturnail Ya, which like the
they basically the days were longer, like in the winter,
like the winter solstice and stuff like that, so the
days were longer, so they just it was just a
(41:07):
counter to some other shit anyway. But now it's it's
a tradition. Same thing with Thanksgiving. We know the bad
shit about Thanksgiving, but now it's like it's just tradition now.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Right where a family gets together, eat, drink, talk, shit.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Fight, be ungrateful, and be young for sure. Okay, but
you're given gifts and all that stuff Christmas. It's still
a good time give gifts and all that. I think
last year was the first time we actually did like
family photos. And this whole year my mom was acting
like I never seen the pictures. I never got there.
I done sent that damn link for them pictures thirty
eleven times. You ain't seen the pictures because you ain't
(41:48):
see them, because you ain't want to see them.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You ain't seeing me one either.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I did not I didn't like them, but I definitely
still sent them to my family. I sent the pictures ouse,
but it's about two hundred pictures link and you ain't
like not one. Not really. I hate pictures, man, I
hate taking pictures for real.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
What can we do to like not feel the strain
financially in this week going into the new year.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
I guess we'll get to that if I keep reading this,
uh this thing? Okay, right, So the loure of post
holiday sales, the protipt for that is, you know, to
not like overspend because it's a sale. Now, I do
have a list of things that I actually need, right
(42:37):
and I was actually in the dark last night trying
to find the best price on all the things like
I want a new laptop, I want another comforter for
my bed, like things like that. Like I'm going to
pick up due to holiday sales, but I don't just
be just buying a bunch of bullshit anyway. It says
approach approach post holiday sales with a clear list of
what you need. I just said that, right, not what's
(42:59):
on sale. Prioritize purchasing essentials or gifts for future occasions
rather than indulging in non essential items. So that's a
tip if you're going to go out and partake in
the holiday sales, because what your fine is a lot
of times they be done mark the price up on
some shit and then give you forty percent off. Really
(43:19):
you still paying over a ticket price? Yeah, So next one,
it says the weight of holiday debt. Holidays spending frequently
leaves consumers grappling with debt. A study from a major
financial institution revealed that the average American occurs over thirteen
hundred dollars in holiday debt, with many relying on high
(43:41):
interest credit cards to cover the expenses. The emotional tale
of debt often extends beyond finances, affected mental wellbeing and relationships,
and it extends way past Christmas, okay.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
All the way into the new year exactly.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
So appro to for that is, if you've accumulated holiday debt,
create a repayment plan as soon as possible prior to
high interest debt, and consider transferring balances to a lower
interest option such as a zero percent APR credit card
if feasible. Maybe that's what you should have asked Santa for
for fucking Christmas, was a deck consolidation program instead of
(44:20):
spending more money. Nigga Financial recovery and planning ahead. Covering
from the financial impact of the holiday season requires both
short term adjustments and long term planning, and it says
here some strategies so evaluate evaluate your spending, take a
close look at holiday expenses to identify areas where you've overspent.
(44:44):
Used this information to set a more realistic budget for
next year because you still don't have rent.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
I know that people do this because as a hairstylist,
January is.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
One of the slowest mook. This is not getting their
hair done.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
They got it done before Christmas, and they really not
doing nothing in January, and they're just trying to save
money because they spent it all.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
For Embrace them no spend month. Look at that number two.
Embrace the no spend month. January is an ideal time
to adopt no spend challenge, focusing only on essentials to
recover financially. Today.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
You can get some motherfucking here.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
The y'all gonna have a bitch out there doing door
dash this January. If y'all don't co get, I'm like,
I ain't above it. Though y'all might be listening to
the show. And if I come bring you your Chipotla
scare and.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
You're in your new car, you better seen that range
Rover for Instacart.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Bitch that motherfucker and that ship is getting my nerves
all right, let's me be instacart with no heat. Why
my food? Oh, it's a refrigerator in this motherfucker.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
It's a chicken salad, all right. I said, start a
holiday saying it's fun. Begin setting aside a small amount
each month for next year's holiday expenses. Automating savings can
make this process seamless. So that's, you know, save some
money for the following year. But you're gonna be done
dabbed in that ship because you done overspent the year before.
(46:33):
It's just a bad cycle. Just get out of it.
Just don't buy nobody's shit this year.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
You know what I've been doing, and it's kind of
been working. I've been sending all my money to my
savings account, and then I just pull a little piece
off for bills.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
That's what I do. That's for the most part.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah, that helped.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
I used to like let it go to my you know,
checking and then just push them to the savings. But
now I just let it all go to the savings
and then I pull out the bill money and the
little a little bit of play money.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
And I've been saving more that way.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
Yeah, because you also most things now you get a fee,
you know, for withdrawing from savings too much in thirty
eight period, So I'm gonna make sure you don't end
up with an amazingcy at the end of the month.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Yeah, but I haven't been withdrawn that much. I'll take
a few hundred, just a few hundred out, you know,
to play with, but the rents all take it out
for my bills and then I just don't touch it.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Number four says Track sales. Strategically plan purchases around annual
sales events such as President's Day or back to school
promotions to spread out expenses. Number five says practice mindful
gift giving. Consider alternatives to traditional gift givings, such as
homemade presents or experiences, to reduce costs without sacrificing thoughtfulness.
(47:52):
So the one gift I bought for the party this weekend,
I bought a portable charger, Like, who don't need that?
Twenty dollars was a gift? I mean basically some people
probably spent over that. But motherfuck is always around here
with adad iPhone? Like who the girl? Who got it?
She was like, girl, I needed this so bad. Like
people don't buy the things that they need a lot
of times.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, so give some head. It's always, oh my god,
you don't cost you nothing. It's a little sweat.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
You didn't bring a twenty dollar gift. You're just giving
head at the party.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
At the party, come back.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Here at the bathroom, get your gift. Who picked that
empty gift bag? Come back and get your gifts.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
But if it's a girl, now, now you gucci at
the party, y'all.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
I'm joking, yo, jokes.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Okay, I mean, so those those are some the lemits
that people run into, and then also some tips to
try to help remedy those situations. While the holidays bring
joy and together, this, the financial aftermath often requires a
careful navigation. By understanding the economic dynamics of returns, sales,
(49:14):
and debt and implementing practical recovery strategies, consumers can urge
excuse me, can emerge from the holiday, bitch not you're
reading along from holiday season and better financial shape the
key used to learn from past spending habits, embrace a
proactive approach, and set the stage for a more financial
(49:35):
secure holiday season next year. I sort of God, every
year I learn to be better with money because I'd
be like, nah, this can't happen to me again next year,
Like nah, I can't do that. I can't be like
this next year. So maybe people got to go through it,
you know, to get through it. Yeah, some people got
(49:56):
to go through it to get through it.
Speaker 3 (49:58):
So well, I'm gonna do better. I mean I feel
like I did better just because my nail I'm sitting
here with my nail is not done.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
I know I'm changing.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
That's never an expense for me.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
I have something really important that I want to say
to you. All right, I'm really proud of your reading today.
Speaker 2 (50:20):
You did really good, y'all.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
I just be thinking fast. That'd be the problem. Like
I'm seeing a whole I'm putting words that I ain't
fucking there because I'm thinking this what should be there.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
A lot of times when you when you sent me
this and I saw all that you had to read
to day, I was like, look, we're gonna be here, three.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Good friends.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
Shut up, bitch, all right. When we come from this break,
we got a dumb bitch shory. Oh that's it for
the conversation, y'all. Listen, stop spending all you got.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
That money, right, getting kids some mother fucking oranges and
apples and tell them.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
About my grandma shit.
Speaker 1 (50:57):
Oh, actually, stop telling them about Christmas. There you really
want have to worry about it.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Right, I ain't getting my dog shit for Christmas. Don't
know what it is. You don't know it's Christmas.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
I'm not telling my kids by day birthday anytime they
come like, well what's Christmas? Who told you that? That's
the devil.
Speaker 2 (51:17):
Now you're gonna need to get the therapy with.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Your girl McDonald's is the devil. All these things I
don't want to know about is bad. Okay, if I
tell you about it, it is bad about it.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
Y'all will be right back with a dumbitch story. Stay tuned,
dumb bitch stories.
Speaker 3 (51:38):
So because we've all been a dumb bitch at least
once or twice, y'all. So I'm gonna read this to y'all,
and as much as I've been talking shit, I might
fuck this up just because.
Speaker 1 (51:49):
You always fuck it out when you're reading other people's words,
like it's so informal a lot of times.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
Go ahead, Hey, I love the podcast so much. Tam
bam my good Cancyrian internet cousin. I'm July thirteenth, Happy
very day, boo my cancer sister, and aj my good
Gemini internet cousin. I'm writing in for a dumb best story.
And well, I wouldn't say it's a dumb bitch story.
I just wanted to know if I'm in the right
(52:14):
or wrong. Long story short, my childhood bestie and one
of my guy cousins that's like my brother was in
a relationship for years. They break up, he moved, stays,
he comes home to a girl he was with in
middle school gets her pregnant. He tells me, I'm thinking
of telling my bestie because I know he's still on
(52:35):
her line. He tells me, I'm thinking of telling.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
No, he tells her that I understand what she's saying.
He basically told her that he got the middle school
friend pregnant, right.
Speaker 3 (52:48):
And telling her best friend because he's still talking to
her best Right. So, my friend texts me saying she
has tea. We meet up to talk and have drinks.
She tells me they hooked up, and then that's when
I tell her about That's when I tell her he's
about to be a dad and to just leave the
(53:08):
man alone. Am I right or wrong for telling her that?
I just don't like how men think they can have
their cake and eat it too, And plus she was
going to find out anyway, But as a good friend,
I felt like I had to tell her right then.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Yes, yeah, you did the right thing.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
Yeah she did the right thing for sure, because I mean,
was he going to tell her and then you smashing
all while you got a baby on the way, and
then you know your friend, you know your friend probably
about to take this shit so far in her head,
she going to start a whole relationship with him, probably.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
Because they were together for years, you know, so this
isn't like some hookup. This is someone that she's potentially
loved and now she's you know, we like to say like, oh,
it's just sex, it's nothing, and then you look up
and now you crying and feed a position.
Speaker 1 (53:53):
Oh sucking your thumb in the corner. So no, you
ain't wrong. I wonder what the homegirl said back to her, though, Like,
I wonder what was the homegirl's response, is she's so
fucking with him? Did she confront him about we need
some more I want to know some more stuff because
I've actually been in this situation before it I felt
like I one of me and my best friends, like
(54:13):
our relationships started going downhill after a pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
M h.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
Why I think whenever she broke up with my cousin,
she kind of broke up with me too, and they
have been together for years.
Speaker 2 (54:27):
But sometimes that it'd be necessary, you know, I ain't.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
Do that her, I mean, in regardless of what I
feel like, me and her relationship was closer than her
and me and my cousin. Yeah, that's my first cousin.
But she was also on just some some wear those
shit anyway. But I hope her boy cousin isn't upset
because she told her best friend, because why are you
playing in my friend face?
Speaker 2 (54:49):
Right?
Speaker 3 (54:49):
Well, it depends on what he was saying, because if
it was no strings attached sex, he don't owe her
no truth about that.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
I think if I'm having sex with somebody, I would
like to know that you have a baby on the way.
And if we were previously in a relationship and you
still be like on my line trying to be with
me type shit, and we ended up having sex recently,
I want to know that you have a baby on
the way because I probably wouldn't have fucked you.
Speaker 2 (55:11):
I would want to know too. But if it depends
on what the conversations are, because if they're just hooking up,
he don't necessarily have to tell her that shit.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
You know, man, you a boy.
Speaker 3 (55:24):
No, I'm just I just think abbruptively, like it just
depends on I agree, I would want to know that shit.
I literally had something like that happened to me recently,
you know, like damn, I see baby shit all pictures,
Like the fuck how you couldn't tell me that you know.
Speaker 1 (55:40):
Right, But do you feel like that nigga wasn't obligated
to tell you?
Speaker 3 (55:43):
I do feel like he was. Yeah, yeah, no, that's
what I'm saying. I agree, But it just depends on
what their conversations were like. Because she said I got
t we hooked up. It may not have been even
like you know, it could have been like some accidental
fuck shit.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
You never know.
Speaker 3 (56:04):
We need more information, girls, So when you listen to
this episode really still, because I know, I guess bitches
don't be willing to type all that shit.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
What's the phone number where it called?
Speaker 1 (56:14):
Right? She said? Long story? Short? Like why you ain't
send us a long story? We appreciate it though, Yeah,
it's send the long story. You're right?
Speaker 2 (56:23):
What's the phone number?
Speaker 1 (56:25):
Oh for them to dial in it? Girl? The shame?
Okay it is nine one nine four one zero seven
seven three five, but that's still only three minutes, so.
Speaker 2 (56:35):
It should be three minutes worth of shit.
Speaker 3 (56:37):
Make make talk faster than you type, y'all. This is
we'll see y'all next year.

a bitch, like I'm so grateful for he did and
he did steering wheel right now, because without it it
would be frozen.
Speaker 2 (57:11):

you know. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (57:15):
Yeah, So if y'all see me right down the street

I feel so warm and fuzzy right now.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Did you drunk.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hungover from the weekend? What'd you do this weekend?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
One of my besties had like a, I guess it's
Christmas giving? Mm hmm, like a friends giving type of
friends miss yeah, and it was lit. We ate, we drunk.
I you know, I'd be really feeling like people be
expecting me to be entertainment because y'all know I travel
with a mic, right, So I did travel with my mic,
but I just wasn't on it this weekend. No, No,
(01:18):
I don't know what I did. I did you were
on something else. I definitely was on drugs. Okay, now
got me a couple of little addies I've been holding
on to. So to get there, I had to stay
awake to drive because you know, a nigga's gonna be
like in drive. So I was on the addie this
weekend and I did some shrewm gummies and then the liquor.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So I was really like, I'm starting to the c spaceship.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Bitch. I was like sitting down being quiet. It was
the weirdest thing, and like, actually, bitch, I was there,
but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I was really in.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
My fucking head the whole time. And it's fucking weird, bitch.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
What cool sounds like very relaxing.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But it was fun. We had some real good ass food. Okay,
oh god, damn, I forgot the chef's name. Anyway, he's
out of Dirham. He's so good man.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
This is the second time it was it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So he does like Asian fusion kind of so and
you know he always has like a little vegan or
something for me. So he had the oyster mushrooms. Ain't
just for me, but you know, just for anybody who
doesn't eat the meats, but he did like like Wagoo sliders.
I know, y'all meat eaters now, y'all. I went from
Lamb chops, the Wagoo, the thing with the with the
Wagoo burgers. Though, okay, if thirty if if if an
(02:47):
ounce of Waggo steak is thirty five dollars, I just
don't believe you're getting a whole burger mm hmmm for
a little bit of money. It doesn't make sense to me.
So what do y'all are? Y'all just don't really eating
regular beef okay, regular exactly and calling it wagu because
people don't even realize that oxtail is just fucking cow.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Also, it's just the ass cowtail, that's all it is.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So I don't know. I don't know about that Wago,
but it was like a whole, nice little spread. Met
some nice people this weekend. I love meeting new people,
making new friends. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Fun.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I worked this weekend. You know, this time of year
is very busy, so I worked a lot. But then
on Sunday I went to our college friend Jamaica's.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Happy belated birthday.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Jamaica run and baby.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
When I tell you, I'm like, I'm hungover right now,
you guys, I got so drunk and I didn't drink
a lot though. It's just that I've been eating so
light that just a little bit of liquor took me
to the next level. And y'all we played UNO, and y'all,
I knocked over to UNO table. I took my whole
folk and sweet that motherfucker. Because they're gonna try to
(04:04):
say that you can put a draw four on a
draw like it was three draw twos on top of
each other, and they're gonna put a draw four on
top of that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Y'all got me fucked up. If y'all think I about
to draw what eight six.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
A lot ten? Half the damn deck.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
No, I knocked the table over.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
This is why I don't play cards with niggas, because
they be making up rules, man, Like, okay, we're playing
in real rules, or were doing nigga rules.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Right, because how you gonna put a draw four on
three draw twos? That is illegal?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
But when people do do stacking, and you know, right,
can't you throw out all those wild cards at one time?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
You can stack, but you can't stack a draw four
on draw twos. You can stack draw twos and you
can stack draw fors, but you can't stack. You got
it right, yes, So now you try to cheat and
now you're trying to pick up your six. You're trying
to make me pick up ten. I not the table
over the table fellow this nigga bee. He was like, damn,
you're trying to fuck up my leg, like yo leg?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So was the game over after that? No?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I picked the table back up.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Childish sh We played a lot of fun games too.
They had like some shit on the TV, like you
press the button on your cellphone like so the questions
come up on the screen. So they had like black
holiday movies and shit like that, and you got to
read it and whoever hits it first, like you get
up like in the running on the screen though, but
it was very interactive. I'm like, what the fuck I
(05:32):
wish I would have came up with that shit, like
you really playing the game, like you read it on
the TV and you pressed about on your phone and
then it goes to the TV like who's winning?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh that's dope.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
We played the game they had. It was a card
game where it had QR cod's in the car and
they play a song, right and you had to sing
a song and then it all cutout and you have
to keep singing where it cuts out. And if you
didn't keep singing where it cuts out, you had to
take a shot. That shit was too because it was
all R and B like nineties and two thousand songs
(06:04):
and shit like that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm trying to find the name of the app. I
can't find it. Anyway, it was lit. Yeah, we had
a good time. And look, so everybody was required to
bring a gift, right, and then like with the games,
who have won, you pick a gift, you know, like
the Secret Santa type shit, you pick whatever gift. I
just really wasn't picking no gift for real, and I
just when the games and all that shit was over,
I just picked up the last gift, the last gift,
(06:30):
the last gift that was sitting by the fireplace all
by his lonesome. All it was was like a water jug, right,
And the nigga who brought it, he was like, oh,
you got that gift. He was like open up the jug,
though you look and see something else, and I was like, okay,
so I go open up the jug. It's a fucking
pregnancy test. And then like we what it's right here.
(06:51):
It's a dollar store one two dollar twenty five. I
bye him should be accurate.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, just as good as any other tests.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But oah no, So like this is my week. My
period just went off, and I've been tracking my ovulation,
so I missed the window to try to get a Gemini.
So like Virgo was next up for me, right, I
was trying to do the Virgo and then Libra. So
the end of the year, like coming up this into
January fourth would be my ovulation time to get the
(07:22):
to get a virgo. So maybe maybe it's a sign
I might get pregnant in the week.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm gonna pray for it because I need me a
little niece, a nephew.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
All my friends pregnant. Man, it's a lot of pregnant
bitches out here. They every time an old bitch get pregnant,
I just get more and more. Hope.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yay, let's get into scenes. What happened?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
What we got going on? Okay? This a little boy,
Travis Hunter. Y'all knows he won the Heisman? What team
is he playing on? Because I know this that he
just got drafted? Where's I mean? I really don't know
much about him. What I do know about him is
what the internet is keeps, you know, talk about about
his girlfriend. His girlfriend is Leanna Lenney. I know, I
(08:11):
don't know what her real name is, but yeah, so
a couple of weeks ago they were getting on her
because she was being real impatient while he was at
an event, asking like am I just supposed to be
sitting here? And we talked about it then.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, and then she didn't stand up when everybody was
giving him a standup of ovation and the coach had
it to her life stand up baby.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, So the internet has been picking their relationship apart,
picking her ass apart, bringing up old video. She was
in somebody's rat video, she was at somebody's party, what
you know, taking pictures with a nigga. All type of
stuff they're bringing up. So Dravis Hunter has deactivated his
Instagram page because he can't take it. Y'all really about
to ruin that nigga's career, really talking about his mental health.
(08:56):
He's twenty one.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
These are kids right alone.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, Like he's not gonna get some He could get
like a maybe some super wholesome twenty one year old
who probably was groomed to be an NFL or NBA
wife he could probably get that, probably gonna be a
white girl. But these this is a regular. I think
she's like Hispanic or something like that. So I know
the black woman. Y'all probably want to see him on
a low brown girl. Okay, it might not happen, and
(09:22):
it's okay. That's this is his preference, This is what
he wants to be doing, and I think people should
stay out of it. I don't know why, they just
like dragging it so much.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Not.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What I will say is that whatever he decides to do,
just make sure he talks to his attorney along the
way and make sure all his PaperWorks straight. Because she
does have a money signed tattooed on her ring finger.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Okay, yeah, just let.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
The kids be kids and do anything and stay out
of it. There ain't nothing but a bunch of grown
motherfuckers too, you know, very intive in these children's relationship.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I can give a fuck.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So Deone Sanders actually came out and said something. He said,
I've tried my best not to get into Travis's business,
but I had to after seeing this. I'm here to
tell you, brother, wake up and quit playing. She talked
all that stuff about you, saying she was going to
address the situation once but kept talking about it. He said,
(10:18):
she loves the attention way more than you. She thinks
she isn't equal to you. I can tell you're a
great dude, and I promise there is a woman out
there who is going to make your life easy and
respect you. From what I can see, she has nothing
to offer but a major headache. What you got to offer,
She's not the one.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I just feel like nobody can decide that for you, like,
just stay out of it.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I think he might be you know, projecting a little
bit because of what went on between him and his
kids mom. It was a video recently, like they all
were on the field as soon as the mama walk
up deon sans fuck up about it here, you know,
because she I mean, during the divorce it got real
nasty and she said, like you know, she accused him
of abuse and abusing the kids and all that, all
these things like to have the upper hand in the
(11:07):
courtse I. So you know, he's speaking from experience. And
I also I remember remember we had Brittany Reener. He
brought her like to the school. Yeah, yeah, basically because
it is a thing and it probably should be a
course studying these holes, for.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Sure, But I just think, like I don't know, focus
on football, focus on making him a good player, you know,
all that shit when when you're in love with somebody,
ain't nothing nobody can tell you. You have to go through
it on your own, you know. So just make sure
he's focused on being the best athlete he can be
(11:47):
and let him figure out his love life on his own.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Because secondly, it's been working. They've been together for five years,
so it's not new regardless of what he's gotten to
where he is now with some of her energy. Right, Okay,
y'all may look at it like it's just like super
toxic or whatever, but obviously it's working for him. She
does something for him to where he's still been able
(12:11):
to operate. Now what's going on now? Yeah, he has
to now deactivate his Instagram to try to block out
the noise. Now he's not focused.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Right, So let that baby be, Let them, both of
them be, because she's just a little young girl too.
You know, she's not making probably all the best choices,
but she's still trying to figure it out. So, yeah,
he might have seven other bitches by the time he
get married.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You know who knows?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, I don't know. It could be my son. I'm
gonna tell you that shit now, it.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Could be what's a what's a man? Or a woman
has decided they love somebody. It is hard for you
to be from the outside and break that shit up. Exactly, Okay,
Erica Mina, so I saw this up for the weekend
aologizes to Nicki Minaj after really experiencing Safari for herself.
(13:05):
So she was saying, how like she's painted to be
this villain and painted to be like, uh, just this
hard person to deal with, and he has pretty much
created that dynamic. Like when she jumped that fence, she
was like, he let her in, he let her through
the gate, and then when she got there made it
seem as but why if he let you in, why
(13:28):
you had to climb the fence?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You know? But we didn't see her. We didn't see
her climb of fence. He said, she climbed the fence.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
No was wasn't it a video of her like going
over the fence on the ladder?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, I didn't see, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
But I mean, but then she also said that you
told me that my child was hurt you know, you
told me my child.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Was hurt, and yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
So of course I'm climbing the fence to get my baby.
I don't give a damn.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh, maybe he let her in the gated community. Had
the guard let her in, right, but then once getting
to his house he would and let her in, And
maybe that's when she climbed the fence, like you lit
the guard. You had to guard lit me in. But
now I can't get to the house and you're a
messaging me telling me something's up with the baby.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Right and then recording.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, I could see men doing that type of shit.
She's saying, he's a narcissist. I don't know. I mean
what happens when two narcissists get together. Because we've seen
Ericamena in action and other relationships, and I mean, it
could just be entertainment, scripted reality TV we were actually
seeing and maybe that's not who she is, but based
on what we have seen, she'd be cutting up.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, because just from her first appearance on Love and
Hip Hop, she jumped on Kimbella because Kimbella was doing
modeling for cheaper Is that reason.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
The very first you.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Know video with Ericamena, she literally jumped on that girl
at a nice place like.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
TV.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
How your ass acting food? But you know it does
make me think though, you know, how like you get
into a relationship, and this is really why I don't
trust niggas who'll be talking shit about the ex about
the baby mamas. I don't believe you because we know
it's two sides to every fucking story, right, and you
nine times out of ten you may never hear the
other person's side, maybe until the end of the relationship, right.
(15:21):
You know. So now she's apologizing to Nicki Minaj because
she partakes. She part took in some of the shit
talking right, going off of what Safari had to say
about Nicki Minaj. But now she gets to see who
he is for herself.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
For herself.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I was dating this producer and the super producer, and
the whole time we went on this particular day, all
he did was drag his wife ex wife. Well they're
like going through a divorce, drag her. She's just she's
just that, she's I mean, he spent so much time
talking about her. I was kind of like tuning him
(15:57):
out and looking at my phone and finding sins for
the show bro, Like who wants to hear that, you know,
I don't want to hear about yo bitch. Then later
on in another conversation, he was like, yeah, she says
I talked about her. I never talk about her, And
I was like, yeah, you do. You talk my head
(16:18):
off about this woman, So you do talk about her.
And if you talked about her to me that much,
imagine what you're saying to other people.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I know I talked about my extra exes. I sure
do on dates. No, not on dates, absolutely, but on
this motherfucker this show right here, So talk about your
ass on here, apps, because I mean, it could be therapeutic.
But like if you just always ah, okay, not on dates.
(16:48):
But I have like been in like situationships with people
where I may have mentioned my ex one too many times.
But I feel like people recognize when you do it,
but they don't hear when they talk about people that
they fuck with before. I just have the same constant person.
You're telling me about twenty different women in the last
five years of your life, right, I'm talking about the
(17:10):
same nigga. So it might seem excessive mm hmmmmm, But
I do try try very hard and not talk about
these fucking niggas. Okay, to the next, to the next,
because I think that sometimes men subconsciously treat you how
the last man treated you because they think that you
can handle it. You know, I've been through it, So
keep all your dumb bit shit to yourself. They tell
(17:33):
these niggas nothing, they will use that AMMO against you, girl. Okay.
So Fat Joe was on this podcast, my expert Opinion
podcast by this battle rapper math Hopeful Hawfu ho f FA.
You know him?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I follow him?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Oh okay, I hear that. I like battle rap but
I never heard about him. I never knew about him,
but I did see he battled Hitman Haller at some point.
I like Hitman. But anyway, so Fat Joe was on there,
and Fat Joe essentially said, fuck these FBA niggas.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Y'all know what FBO broke niggas.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
FBA is financial financial foundational Black Americans, so like descendants
of slaves essentially. So he's on this show and he
was saying how this is a very radical and racist group.
He basically says, do you see he says, do you
(18:32):
see this explicit who runs them? Or maybe he's saying,
do you see this nigga who runs them. You gotta
be fucking kidding me. So they're trying to change the
narrative because they're not from New York, so they're telling
a whole other story. So the thing was that the
FBA is basically saying, like Fat Joe, them weren't hip hop,
(18:53):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Black, right right, which I don't agree with.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I don't agree that, like Hispanics did make a contribution
to hip hop that I just did not agree with
Fat Joe's rhetoric like broke niggas.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
These broke niggas, Like I'm just not. I'm not.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That makes me very uncomfortable because you don't identify as black,
you know. And I know we sometimes give Hispanics a
past because of culturally their experiences in our communities.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Well they were I mean, and also Hispanics most right,
particularly Puerto Ricans okay, Dominicans Okay, y'all. Some niggas, Okay,
they are black, you know what I'm saying. They literally
mixed with African or black whatever wherever it came from.
(19:48):
The This is why I be trying to get away
from like the black African American thing, right because and
I don't one hundred degree agree with FBA right, because
some of their rhetoric is extreme. I don't know if
y'all ain't been on Clubhouse and to see them in
action on Twitter and shit, it do be nasty, right,
But at some point we do have to delineate right
(20:09):
between Black Americans, right, people who are from this land
and everybody else.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Right, because why can't nothing be.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
For us ever? Ever? Nothing? You know? So people love niggashit,
but they hate niggas right. So what Fatcho was saying
was really anti black. Its fuck to me, Yeah to
me as well, because we are some broke niggas, how
abou dad, and that we've been trying to get some
fucking money. So the FBA, they really be focusing on
(20:40):
reparations and things like that. But in order to get that,
you have to we have to be able to tell
the government this particular group of people, not everybody who
has brown skin.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And it was broke niggas that was leaning back with
you. You know, it was broke niggas that was doing the
lean bag. It was broke niggas that help you to cool,
you know, So exactly this is laughing a face to
say that as far as I'm.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Concerned, And why do they get this? You niggas?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Some yeah, some Hispanics use niggas as a derogatory term
against Black people. It's not a term of affection or endearment.
It is used to call us something bad. So it's
just unfair. It doesn't seem right, especially in the context
that you're using it, you know. And it's crazy for
somebody non black that say they're racist broke niggas, Like
(21:29):
you can't call somebody racist and then in turn say
something racist about them, like you literally made a racist
statement right after that, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So I don't know it's a slippery slope because.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's not slippery at all. It is what it is.
It's not slippery. And that's why we need to draw
a line somewhere, you see. But black people, black Americans
are very inviting. That's why we're in a position wherein now,
from the beginning of time, we've been letting people come in.
(22:03):
And we lost the war at the shores when the
motherfucker's first.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That's how we ended up boat exactly, not.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
On the boat, being enslaved on our own land. That's
what happened. The majority of the slaves did not come
and o goddamn boats. These people came here and enslaved
the people of this land, the broken niggas he talking about.
So yeah, he needs to watch his mouth. That's And
I don't think this is the first time like people
have been coming at Fat Joe about the use of
the word nigga and shit like that either, right, So
(22:33):
it's it's a big conversation around the whole thing. Now
I'm gonna I'm gonna dig in it a little bit.
But yeah, like I what uh it was one of
the awards. I don't know if it was the Grammy something,
but the Hispanics were feeling like like they weren't being
included enough for it was something going on. But it's
(22:53):
like nobody, nobody creates a table for us. Nobody he
ever gives us a seat at their table. They try
very very hard to actually separate themselves from us when
it actually matters, right, So we really be on a
boat by ourselves and people be tugging at our fucking
(23:14):
ankle for help all of dayn time. If black people
foundational Black Americans, which I don't, it's just weird, right
because I don't. Everybody is not a descendant of a
slave either, right, but everybody is a descendant of Everybody
in the diaspora is a descendant of like Jim Crow
and almost we had a whole episode on this stuff
of all the nasty ass things that came after slavery
(23:37):
that then affected black people across the diaspora. So that's
even larger conversation. But I don't know. I just I
just think that people need to watch their fucking mouth.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
That's what I think. Watch your mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
And then you sit in the room that dude, that
the batter rapper, I believe he's Jamaican, So neither one
of y'all are Black Americans, Right, that's why you could
keep ki key and think that shit fucking funny.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's not okay. It's hurtful. It's hurtful. But you know,
I think he's getting a.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Lot of backlash because of it, Like and I think
maybe he he might not give a fuck, but he should.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
He should definitely give a fuck. He needs to. Maybe
we need to get a museum. We do have museums.
Go to the African American Museum and see why the
fuck what you're saying isn't okay. Like the same way
that you have the ai AD, I l the um
At Anti Defamation Deformation League for like the Holocaust and
the Jews and shit like that. Like we need some
(24:38):
ship like that. When you cross us, you got to
go do twenty steps like Kyrie Irving had to do
when he quote unquote offended those people. Like we need y'all.
We need y'all to go do the same type of
shit because obviously y'all don't know why it is we're
in a position we are in now. It's not by
hamper stance.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And you don't care that it's hurt. You think you
just get a pass for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't fuck with fact Joe today.
You shouldn't even have told me about that shit. Look,
I know I reported on it, but Tammy brought it
to my attention earlier and we had a whole, big, long,
drawing out conversation prior to this ship. I might not
want to say on Wax, but boy, fuck you. Okay,
get the show started anyway, y'all. It is the day
(25:23):
after Christmas, Merry Holidays, all that shit, Merry Christmas, and
you know this is like the weird week. It's like
it's like there's Christmas and then it's like maybe people
have to go back go back to work. Maybe they don't.
They just trying to get their life situated for the
New Year's It's like.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
If you do go back to work, do you really
give a fuck about work?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
For nobody this week? Don't count, right, y'all, Dad, I'm here.
It's just I'm here just because I gotta be, and
that's it. Don't ask you to do it for real, right, So,
I think the only people who really working is people
trying to sell get them cars off their lot.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
By the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
That's yep, le you're gonna get me one.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I'm going to get one.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I got to y'all. Let me tell y'all, I have
a range drover in my heat. Like in the past
two months, I swear, ship after ship after ship is
just fucking up. Like the Pulley system fucked up. Then
something went on with where the reservoir for the cooling.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh so you have a heating and you have a
cooling issue with your card the heat and not working.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I already got that fixed and now just like literally
two days ago, I have no heat and it's fucking
freezing out.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Do you have add a freeze in the car?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yes, because they just like, literally a month ago, they
fixed the cooling reservoir some shit, so because the air
wasn't working or something like that. So I got that
fixed and now it's another issue. So now I like,
the only reason I've been warm the heat off the
engine is the motherfucking heated seats and heat is steering.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
No, no, I'm getting out this motherfucker next week. I'm
done with this range Rover.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Range Rovers and land Rovers. They look nice, yeah, but
they are, like they're not the best cars.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm moving on over yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So yeah, So the topic this week we wanted to
talk about like post Christmas, uh economics essentially, right, So
the economics of post Christmas returns, sales and debt.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And lots of it.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay, so we're back, and so you know, I think
the holidays and being at the very end of the year,
it does affect your finances going into the new year.
I think a lot of people do more spending than
they actually should and new Year come around and you're
trying to dig yourself out of a hole from the
(28:01):
previous year. Personally, I don't be buying a whole bunch
of shit. One of my nieces told me she wanted
to with those little braces with the charms Pandora, the
Pandora bracelet thing. I got her a pair of sneakers,
and you know, usually I and that's because she asked
for it. I'm buy a shit for nobody else. But
(28:23):
usually I just give out scratch offs that I put
my name on the back. I sign it though I
signed them before I give it to them. So maybe
that's all I'll do this year. Maybe I'll just go
buy everybody two dollars Mega million or Powerball tickets and
see if somebody win. Like, yeah, this is just another
day like the Holidays when I have my own kid,
like I am going to create my own traditions with them.
(28:46):
I'm not. I probably won't be celebrating Christmas real.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
No, I try not to do a lot of Every year.
I end up always overspending because something jumps into my
spirit and I just like want to buy everybody everything
I can potentially afford, because I just enjoy seeing people
open gifts and like, oh, how does it make them feel?
(29:11):
I love to see like nothing hurts my feelings more
than disappointment on somebody's face when they opened up my gifts.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Oh my god, I'm heartbroken.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But this year, I ain't do that. I did not
go crazy. I did not overspend. I adopted a kid
and bought gifts for that child, you know. And then
that's really all I did. I didn't buy nobody else shit.
And I me and my sister, we always exchange gifts.
I was like, don't give me nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
She's like, what do you want? I was like some,
I guess some Cris White strips. I was like, but
I can literally go to the grocery.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Store and get that for myself. Like I don't need to.
Just don't buy me nothing because I really need nothing,
you know.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
And I sacrificed, Like do you see my fingernails. They
look crazy. I have not gotten them done. I use
my nail money to buy that kid.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Kid.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Yo, So it's just gonna be ugly until they do year.
That's just what's gonna happen. And I'm thinking about going
to press on.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Nails that should be looking nice.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah, that's what I'm about to do. I'm about to
soak these off and get me some press offs and
calling them.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Maybe I'll try to make my own like design them.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
No, no, I ain't doing that. I ain't got time.
That shit would be hit d us.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I really don't like like the nails because they fuck
up like your nail bad. And I like my natural nails.
I like when my nails grow out. Right now, they're
not because I ain't been on Vitamin D for a
couple of months. I haven't had my like real vitamin regimen.
But yeah, I apologize shit this weekend on my homegirl.
Shit they ugly at hell, chipping toenails look the same,
but just to match my dress, that's it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I got my first petticure since I broke my feet.
I had to.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I had to because my feet looked like if I
didn't go get my feet done, I was gonna be
able to snatch your salmon out the stream.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Was crazy. Yeah I didn't spit on that, but after that,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
But I just feel like everybody has been in like
a financial You can feel the economy.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Squeezing the life out of us, like if.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Is it really? Because I still feel like people still
spend a lot of money on bullshit, people still acting
like they got it, which is why these motherfuckers keep
reving and shit up, I got it when I got it.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I mean, I've been holding a dollar so tight. The
ego on that motherfucker, just the what of God, I've
been holding a dollar tight?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
So all right, So this article I'm reading, it's actually
from Forbes. It says the holiday season, often referred to
as the most wonderful time of year, leaves behind a
mixed bag of emotions and financial consequences. Once the decorations
come down and the festive chair subsides, many individuals are
(32:05):
faced with the reality of holiday spending. Let's delve into
the financial aftermath of Christmas, exploring their surgeon returns and
the allure of post holiday sales and the lingering weight
of debt, along with actionable tips for recovery and smarter spending.
(32:25):
So you got people returning a lot of shit. There's
a lot of buyers or morse after Christmas. Maybe somebody
returning your shit because they need the money, right, So
make sure y'all provide those gift receipts with y'all stuff,
And don't question. If you don't never ask them, you
never see them wearing your shit, Like, don't ask, no questions.
(32:46):
They spend the money on something they really need it.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I do have a confession.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
So I did buy myself a very expensive bottle of perfume.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Me too, Oh how much very I gotta sail though,
one hundred eighty dollars.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
But you got some creed the Queen of Sce that
smells so good. I could not.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I do want to bottle creed.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
And then my sister like a little demon sitting on
my shoulder, Yeah, get it, get it, get it, get it.
Because I was like, do you think I need to
buy that? I was like, that's expensive. She's like, you
should treat yourself. Treat yourself to one thing for Christmas.
So then I bought it, and I was like, oh,
I smelled so good.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I wore. I got compliments on how good I smelled.
But then I was like, you just spent nearly five
hundred dollars on a fragrance.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Go take that ship back. So I went to take
it back. As I did, I would write the Queen
of Silk, okay, smell good. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I went to take it back. They would not take
that ship back. They was like, oh man, this is open.
We can't we can't resell it, yeah, and I was like, oh,
I ain't out.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
That's how y'all did. I thought y'all was like Target.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
So normally what I do, because I do have some
I love like a good fragrance. So I just bought
a bottle of Joe Malone, which is not five hundred
dollars for this bottom.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
But that's it, this really nice fragrance.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
But I try to catch like Sephora sacks like they
usually have, like Coupon's, specifically sacks for Creed. Now I
don't see it this year, but I know for sure
last year they had Creed on sale half off. Damn yes,
last year, so you gotta I'll just be buying shit, y'all. Listen.
I don't like paying full price for nothing because I
(34:39):
know the value of shit, especially in America, you ain't
getting the value that you think you're getting for the
price point. So I'm always trying to find a fucking deal, bitch. Okay.
I don't like feeling like I got finessed.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
I definitely felt like I finished myself because well, am
I buying five hundred dollars perfume? But it's not so good.
I just like one squirt enough it's so concentrated, it's
so powerful.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
So y'all gonna smell meat like that all year.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You don't ask to use me ship.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
No, you can use my vanilla sky cheap TJ Max shit.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, I got some nice fragments is from TJ Max
shallow I usually mixed with my expensive shit, like just
to just get a long last and smell all day long.
Because with the ship from TJ Max, you can spend
at a thousand time. Don't give a fuck. It's about
only costs me twenty five dollars. I'll go get another one,
buy the bulk.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Like that's what my sister be doing. I'd be like,
do you have on enough? Like She'll be like, She'll
come in the room and I'll be like, bitch, do
you have on enough? And she'll be like, it's not
that much. And then it'll be like you can see, Like.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I'm like, it should not be able to stay.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
On your damn clues. Shame anyway. The rush to return
gifts that says returning or exchanging unwanted gifts has become
a hallmark of the post Christmas season. According to retail
industry reports, nearly thirty percent of all holiday purchases are returned,
creating a logistical challenge for retailers and an economic ripple effect.
(36:21):
Retailers often occur costs from processing returns, restocking items, or
marking them down for reseal. For consumers, the process can
lead to and Paul's spending, a phenomenon known as boomerang effects,
where shoppers end up spending more during returns than they intended.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, that's that girl math shit. You know you're going
there and like I already you know, I returned this
and now I have seventy dollars.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
And you add another seventy to it.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Yes, like I got one hundred and forty dollars worth
of stuff for only seventy.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
You know that's girl math because it's not only seventy.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
You already spit it, right, that's definitely the fucking girl math.
All right. So here's a pro tip. It says to
avoid impulsive purchases while returning gifts, set a strict budget
beforehand and stick to it. Consider asking for store credit
instead of cash to reduce the temptation to overspin. So, yeah, like,
(37:20):
motherfuckers be returning some shit to add that to something
more expensive, So really, you haven't saved anything anything.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
I know, I'm a victim of that. Like it was free,
but it was free.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
It was not free at all.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Money stupid, just.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
A thing, right. The lore of post holiday cells retailers
capitalize on the post Christmas period by offering steep discounts
to clear out on wanted inventory. While this can be
a golden opportunity for savvy shoppers like myself, okay, it's
also a potential trap for those who have already stressed
their stressed their finances. Then the psychology of finding a
(38:06):
deal often leads to over purchasing, exacerbating financial stream.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
And I just think that makes me think about like
single moms and how they will go to the ends
of the earth for their babies and sacrifice to make
sure it's ship under that tree. I'm talking about it.
If somebody listening might have got so christ period, you know,
(38:33):
they're gonna do whatever, it texts me because they don't
want their child to feel like they're going without, you know.
And it's kind of sad because really that's not even
what Christmas is about. I mean, it's about the birth
of Christ.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
If we're gonna talk about it, is it I mean,
that's what it's supposed to be about. That's what it
initially was about. You know, the wise men brought gifts
because of the birth of Jesus Christ, not so your
king can have an electric Lamborghini, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
So it's really like, I remember when I was young,
my grandmother would give me a brown paper bag with pecans, oranges,
apples mints in it, and I used to be like,
what the fuck is this? You know, it's so ungrateful.
I just didn't understand. Like, but when she said, you know,
(39:27):
that was what she was, what she got when she
was a little girl, and that's all they got, you know,
and that would be their only time to have fruit
and mints and nuts, Like they didn't get to eat
that shit. So having that this is my great grandmother, y'all.
So this is early nineteen hundreds. She was born in
(39:48):
nineteen twenty one, So having some mints and pecans was
a treat and I didn't respect it or understand it
as a young girl. I just was like, I don't
want no fucking range just for Christmas, you know. But
now I would kill a small animal to have my
grandmother back bringing me a bag of mintce, oranges and apples.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
You know, some people were in the sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
A small animal. Yes, to have my grandmother bag with
a bad a brown paper bag with that bullshit, isn't it. Yes,
I'd be so happy to get there right now.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Well, historically, some may argue that Christian Christmas began at
more of a pagan holidays because a lot of the
traditions are kissling, kissing in the misslete, leaving food out
for some spirit. So it's a lot of things people
be doing and not realizing what it is that they're
actually partaking in, you know, putting the tree up and
(40:45):
decorating the tree and all these things. So I believe
it was a counter by the Romans. Christmas was a
counter to a pagan holiday saturnail Ya, which like the
they basically the days were longer, like in the winter,
like the winter solstice and stuff like that, so the
days were longer, so they just it was just a
(41:07):
counter to some other shit anyway. But now it's it's
a tradition. Same thing with Thanksgiving. We know the bad
shit about Thanksgiving, but now it's like it's just tradition now.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Right where a family gets together, eat, drink, talk, shit.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Fight, be ungrateful, and be young for sure. Okay, but
you're given gifts and all that stuff Christmas. It's still
a good time give gifts and all that. I think
last year was the first time we actually did like
family photos. And this whole year my mom was acting
like I never seen the pictures. I never got there.
I done sent that damn link for them pictures thirty
eleven times. You ain't seen the pictures because you ain't
(41:48):
see them, because you ain't want to see them.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You ain't seeing me one either.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I did not I didn't like them, but I definitely
still sent them to my family. I sent the pictures ouse,
but it's about two hundred pictures link and you ain't
like not one. Not really. I hate pictures, man, I
hate taking pictures for real.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
What can we do to like not feel the strain
financially in this week going into the new year.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
I guess we'll get to that if I keep reading this,
uh this thing? Okay, right, So the loure of post
holiday sales, the protipt for that is, you know, to
not like overspend because it's a sale. Now, I do
have a list of things that I actually need, right
(42:37):
and I was actually in the dark last night trying
to find the best price on all the things like
I want a new laptop, I want another comforter for
my bed, like things like that. Like I'm going to
pick up due to holiday sales, but I don't just
be just buying a bunch of bullshit anyway. It says
approach approach post holiday sales with a clear list of
what you need. I just said that, right, not what's
(42:59):
on sale. Prioritize purchasing essentials or gifts for future occasions
rather than indulging in non essential items. So that's a
tip if you're going to go out and partake in
the holiday sales, because what your fine is a lot
of times they be done mark the price up on
some shit and then give you forty percent off. Really
(43:19):
you still paying over a ticket price? Yeah, So next one,
it says the weight of holiday debt. Holidays spending frequently
leaves consumers grappling with debt. A study from a major
financial institution revealed that the average American occurs over thirteen
hundred dollars in holiday debt, with many relying on high
(43:41):
interest credit cards to cover the expenses. The emotional tale
of debt often extends beyond finances, affected mental wellbeing and relationships,
and it extends way past Christmas, okay.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
All the way into the new year exactly.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
So appro to for that is, if you've accumulated holiday debt,
create a repayment plan as soon as possible prior to
high interest debt, and consider transferring balances to a lower
interest option such as a zero percent APR credit card
if feasible. Maybe that's what you should have asked Santa for
for fucking Christmas, was a deck consolidation program instead of
(44:20):
spending more money. Nigga Financial recovery and planning ahead. Covering
from the financial impact of the holiday season requires both
short term adjustments and long term planning, and it says
here some strategies so evaluate evaluate your spending, take a
close look at holiday expenses to identify areas where you've overspent.
(44:44):
Used this information to set a more realistic budget for
next year because you still don't have rent.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
I know that people do this because as a hairstylist,
January is.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
One of the slowest mook. This is not getting their
hair done.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
They got it done before Christmas, and they really not
doing nothing in January, and they're just trying to save
money because they spent it all.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
For Embrace them no spend month. Look at that number two.
Embrace the no spend month. January is an ideal time
to adopt no spend challenge, focusing only on essentials to
recover financially. Today.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
You can get some motherfucking here.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
The y'all gonna have a bitch out there doing door
dash this January. If y'all don't co get, I'm like,
I ain't above it. Though y'all might be listening to
the show. And if I come bring you your Chipotla
scare and.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
You're in your new car, you better seen that range
Rover for Instacart.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Bitch that motherfucker and that ship is getting my nerves
all right, let's me be instacart with no heat. Why
my food? Oh, it's a refrigerator in this motherfucker.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
It's a chicken salad, all right. I said, start a
holiday saying it's fun. Begin setting aside a small amount
each month for next year's holiday expenses. Automating savings can
make this process seamless. So that's, you know, save some
money for the following year. But you're gonna be done
dabbed in that ship because you done overspent the year before.
(46:33):
It's just a bad cycle. Just get out of it.
Just don't buy nobody's shit this year.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
You know what I've been doing, and it's kind of
been working. I've been sending all my money to my
savings account, and then I just pull a little piece
off for bills.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
That's what I do. That's for the most part.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah, that helped.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
I used to like let it go to my you know,
checking and then just push them to the savings. But
now I just let it all go to the savings
and then I pull out the bill money and the
little a little bit of play money.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
And I've been saving more that way.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
Yeah, because you also most things now you get a fee,
you know, for withdrawing from savings too much in thirty
eight period, So I'm gonna make sure you don't end
up with an amazingcy at the end of the month.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Yeah, but I haven't been withdrawn that much. I'll take
a few hundred, just a few hundred out, you know,
to play with, but the rents all take it out
for my bills and then I just don't touch it.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Number four says Track sales. Strategically plan purchases around annual
sales events such as President's Day or back to school
promotions to spread out expenses. Number five says practice mindful
gift giving. Consider alternatives to traditional gift givings, such as
homemade presents or experiences, to reduce costs without sacrificing thoughtfulness.
(47:52):
So the one gift I bought for the party this weekend,
I bought a portable charger, Like, who don't need that?
Twenty dollars was a gift? I mean basically some people
probably spent over that. But motherfuck is always around here
with adad iPhone? Like who the girl? Who got it?
She was like, girl, I needed this so bad. Like
people don't buy the things that they need a lot
of times.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, so give some head. It's always, oh my god,
you don't cost you nothing. It's a little sweat.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
You didn't bring a twenty dollar gift. You're just giving
head at the party.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
At the party, come back.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Here at the bathroom, get your gift. Who picked that
empty gift bag? Come back and get your gifts.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
But if it's a girl, now, now you gucci at
the party, y'all.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
I'm joking, yo, jokes.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Okay, I mean, so those those are some the lemits
that people run into, and then also some tips to
try to help remedy those situations. While the holidays bring
joy and together, this, the financial aftermath often requires a
careful navigation. By understanding the economic dynamics of returns, sales,
(49:14):
and debt and implementing practical recovery strategies, consumers can urge
excuse me, can emerge from the holiday, bitch not you're
reading along from holiday season and better financial shape the
key used to learn from past spending habits, embrace a
proactive approach, and set the stage for a more financial
(49:35):
secure holiday season next year. I sort of God, every
year I learn to be better with money because I'd
be like, nah, this can't happen to me again next year,
Like nah, I can't do that. I can't be like
this next year. So maybe people got to go through it,
you know, to get through it. Yeah, some people got
(49:56):
to go through it to get through it.
Speaker 3 (49:58):
So well, I'm gonna do better. I mean I feel
like I did better just because my nail I'm sitting
here with my nail is not done.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
I know I'm changing.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
That's never an expense for me.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
I have something really important that I want to say
to you. All right, I'm really proud of your reading today.
Speaker 2 (50:20):
You did really good, y'all.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
I just be thinking fast. That'd be the problem. Like
I'm seeing a whole I'm putting words that I ain't
fucking there because I'm thinking this what should be there.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
A lot of times when you when you sent me
this and I saw all that you had to read
to day, I was like, look, we're gonna be here, three.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Good friends.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
Shut up, bitch, all right. When we come from this break,
we got a dumb bitch shory. Oh that's it for
the conversation, y'all. Listen, stop spending all you got.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
That money, right, getting kids some mother fucking oranges and
apples and tell them.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
About my grandma shit.
Speaker 1 (50:57):
Oh, actually, stop telling them about Christmas. There you really
want have to worry about it.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Right, I ain't getting my dog shit for Christmas. Don't
know what it is. You don't know it's Christmas.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
I'm not telling my kids by day birthday anytime they
come like, well what's Christmas? Who told you that? That's
the devil.
Speaker 2 (51:17):
Now you're gonna need to get the therapy with.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Your girl McDonald's is the devil. All these things I
don't want to know about is bad. Okay, if I
tell you about it, it is bad about it.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
Y'all will be right back with a dumbitch story. Stay tuned,
dumb bitch stories.
Speaker 3 (51:38):
So because we've all been a dumb bitch at least
once or twice, y'all. So I'm gonna read this to y'all,
and as much as I've been talking shit, I might
fuck this up just because.
Speaker 1 (51:49):
You always fuck it out when you're reading other people's words,
like it's so informal a lot of times.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
Go ahead, Hey, I love the podcast so much. Tam
bam my good Cancyrian internet cousin. I'm July thirteenth, Happy
very day, boo my cancer sister, and aj my good
Gemini internet cousin. I'm writing in for a dumb best story.
And well, I wouldn't say it's a dumb bitch story.
I just wanted to know if I'm in the right
(52:14):
or wrong. Long story short, my childhood bestie and one
of my guy cousins that's like my brother was in
a relationship for years. They break up, he moved, stays,
he comes home to a girl he was with in
middle school gets her pregnant. He tells me, I'm thinking
of telling my bestie because I know he's still on
(52:35):
her line. He tells me, I'm thinking of telling.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
No, he tells her that I understand what she's saying.
He basically told her that he got the middle school
friend pregnant, right.
Speaker 3 (52:48):
And telling her best friend because he's still talking to
her best Right. So, my friend texts me saying she
has tea. We meet up to talk and have drinks.
She tells me they hooked up, and then that's when
I tell her about That's when I tell her he's
about to be a dad and to just leave the
(53:08):
man alone. Am I right or wrong for telling her that?
I just don't like how men think they can have
their cake and eat it too, And plus she was
going to find out anyway, But as a good friend,
I felt like I had to tell her right then.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Yes, yeah, you did the right thing.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
Yeah she did the right thing for sure, because I mean,
was he going to tell her and then you smashing
all while you got a baby on the way, and
then you know your friend, you know your friend probably
about to take this shit so far in her head,
she going to start a whole relationship with him, probably.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
Because they were together for years, you know, so this
isn't like some hookup. This is someone that she's potentially
loved and now she's you know, we like to say like, oh,
it's just sex, it's nothing, and then you look up
and now you crying and feed a position.
Speaker 1 (53:53):
Oh sucking your thumb in the corner. So no, you
ain't wrong. I wonder what the homegirl said back to her, though, Like,
I wonder what was the homegirl's response, is she's so
fucking with him? Did she confront him about we need
some more I want to know some more stuff because
I've actually been in this situation before it I felt
like I one of me and my best friends, like
(54:13):
our relationships started going downhill after a pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
M h.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
Why I think whenever she broke up with my cousin,
she kind of broke up with me too, and they
have been together for years.
Speaker 2 (54:27):
But sometimes that it'd be necessary, you know, I ain't.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
Do that her, I mean, in regardless of what I
feel like, me and her relationship was closer than her
and me and my cousin. Yeah, that's my first cousin.
But she was also on just some some wear those
shit anyway. But I hope her boy cousin isn't upset
because she told her best friend, because why are you
playing in my friend face?
Speaker 2 (54:49):
Right?
Speaker 3 (54:49):
Well, it depends on what he was saying, because if
it was no strings attached sex, he don't owe her
no truth about that.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
I think if I'm having sex with somebody, I would
like to know that you have a baby on the way.
And if we were previously in a relationship and you
still be like on my line trying to be with
me type shit, and we ended up having sex recently,
I want to know that you have a baby on
the way because I probably wouldn't have fucked you.
Speaker 2 (55:11):
I would want to know too. But if it depends
on what the conversations are, because if they're just hooking up,
he don't necessarily have to tell her that shit.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
You know, man, you a boy.
Speaker 3 (55:24):
No, I'm just I just think abbruptively, like it just
depends on I agree, I would want to know that shit.
I literally had something like that happened to me recently,
you know, like damn, I see baby shit all pictures,
Like the fuck how you couldn't tell me that you know.
Speaker 1 (55:40):
Right, But do you feel like that nigga wasn't obligated
to tell you?
Speaker 3 (55:43):
I do feel like he was. Yeah, yeah, no, that's
what I'm saying. I agree, But it just depends on
what their conversations were like. Because she said I got
t we hooked up. It may not have been even
like you know, it could have been like some accidental
fuck shit.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
You never know.
Speaker 3 (56:04):
We need more information, girls, So when you listen to
this episode really still, because I know, I guess bitches
don't be willing to type all that shit.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
What's the phone number where it called?
Speaker 1 (56:14):
Right? She said? Long story? Short? Like why you ain't
send us a long story? We appreciate it though, Yeah,
it's send the long story. You're right?
Speaker 2 (56:23):
What's the phone number?
Speaker 1 (56:25):
Oh for them to dial in it? Girl? The shame?
Okay it is nine one nine four one zero seven
seven three five, but that's still only three minutes, so.
