Picture this: Ace Boogie battling COVID like a warrior and coming out with a story that makes you laugh and think. We kick off this episode by comparing the OG COVID strains to the newer, seemingly gentler ones, and discussing how the fall season might bring a surge in cases as we retreat indoors. From vaccinations to the importance of a healthy lifestyle, we share laughs and practical tips to keep you fit and fighting during these times.
As the weather cools, the conversation heats up around cuffing season. Imagine finding a winter partner as strategic as drafting a sports team, transitioning from a carefree “hot boy summer” to a cozy, committed winter. We explore the seasonal rhythm of relationships, from spring breakups to the thrill of new prospects with sundresses. It's a playful yet insightful chat about how love and attraction evolve with each season.
Then, we dive deep into the nitty-gritty of relationships and finances. What happens after the honeymoon phase? We highlight the importance of continuous effort, romance, and personal growth, especially in those crucial first six months. The debate gets fiery as we tackle whether leading with money builds a solid foundation or sets shaky expectations. We wrap up with a spirited discussion on financial responsibilities, balancing modern self-sufficiency with traditional roles. Tune in for a blend of humor, real-talk, and advice that’s as practical as it is entertaining.

call.
A little, a little, I'm takingoff well, you earn it, I'm

fall because all the kids thefirst week of school they're all
spreading that again for thefirst time.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
But isn't there a new strain?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
There is a new strain .
Yeah, I'm going to be honest,it's weak.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's weak, you got weak, although it does spread
easily.
You call it some millennialCOVID.
I'm going to tell you right nowthat JZ COVID that.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
JZ.
Covid that JZ.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Hey, the first COVID, the first one, that was a GX,
that was a silent generation.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That thing whooped my ass.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
That first COVID whooped my ass.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That was straight out of World War III.
Did you tell anybody?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
No, no, no, I was in the crib.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
When it first came out it was kind of scary.
It was bad.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It was crazy scary.
I wasn't scared.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It was bad.
The worst part about it was youwere sick and silent.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Still no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
This is why I'm so mad, because for the longest I
went without getting vaccinatedand I literally got vaccinated.
Within six weeks of me gettingvaccinated, I caught COVID.
I was so mad bro, I was like yo, what the point?
But whatever, I took thevaccine.
You did a few rounds.
(03:27):
I did the vaccine and thesecond one I just put some crack
on it.
That was it.
You know what I'm saying, bro.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You was only going to be able to shoot me up twice
bro, I couldn't do it no more, Ijust put bleach on it.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
You did the Trump thing you put bleach on my body
are you drinking the Cloroxthough?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
no, I couldn't afford Clorox.
I went to.
I went to big.
I went to big locks.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I went to big locks don't take any COVID advice from
me, I'm just saying this newone was weak.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think it was different.
I think it was different, Ithink it was different for
everybody.
You ain't miss no work, huh nah.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I miss work.
Like I said, I took off workjust cause I had to, but that's
all it was.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It was just a little cause they didn't play any vice.
Oh, you ain't miss no money.
Oh, I ain't miss no money youain't miss no money.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, that PTO is working.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
The thing that I worry about, though, because it
is I heard that for a lot ofways that this one is it gets.
It's less and less like it'smore diluted but it spreads
easier.
So it's like you're going tocatch it but you won't feel that
bad.
But then I guess there's a lotof studies which is still like
very unknown, which is, I guess,a scary part of like stuff that
can happen later in life whenyou've had COVID more than once,
(04:42):
multiple times.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I think your body is adjusting.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I think so too.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I hope so I honestly think it's a different form of a
flu.
It's a different form of a flu.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Sure, I'm not saying the vaccine, but the illness
itself.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
If you want to get vaccinated, get vaccinated.
If you don't take your vitaminC's, eat your vegetables, get
your nutrients up, do what yougot to do A shot of bleach.
Speaker 2 (05:06):

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Hey, whatever you feel like you need to do to be
healthy, do that Okay win thatExercise, hit the gym run.

everything, but it's been, uh,it's been a big adjustment.
This is the first semester, youknow, with, with covid, and
(07:20):
everything was doing onlinelearning.
Now I'm at the point where I'mgetting into the classes and
classrooms are open again, soI'm having to go in person and

Are they separating the seats though, like you know
how like?
No, no, it's pretty much likeBack to normal.
There's no more COVIDrestrictions.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's basically yeah, like if you can mask, if you
want, if you're vaccinated.
Yeah, they're just kind ofassuming everyone's gotten their
shots, everyone's cool with it.
You know, if you want a mask,you can mask.
If you don't want a mask, youcan't mask.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I got a question.
You don't have to.
I got a question for all y whenyou cough, do you feel some
type of way when you cough now?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Do you know how, back in the day, when motherfuckers
coughed, you're like shit, Ishouldn't cough.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I will say this though that hurts, to hold it in
a cough, I feel some type ofway.
If it's a lot, though, forinstance, I was on a plane back
from Armenia and on my way backI had to put on a mask for
myself, just because the lady arow away from me was for like an
hour and a half was coughingnonstop and she had no mask on,
(08:34):
and she was like I'm talking,like she had the airplane, the
complimentary pillow, like dyinginto it, and I felt bad.
The people next to her werejust ignoring, like phasing her
out, and I'm like yo, like, areyou good?
I mean, it was a long flight.
It was like from Armenia, Ithink it was like eight or nine
hours.
We did a layover in gosh, Idon't even remember where, and
(08:56):
then we did that.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That's where the COVID came from.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I would have been like why isn't the stewardess
bringing a mask for this lady,like at that point?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
No, I would have been like angry, angry, angry, like
you said.
I mean, I don't really careabout a cough here and there,
but if you are coughingrepeatedly to the point where
you really seem sick and we arein a little tube like come on,
bro, that's insensitive to acertain extent and I think
planes are the most germinfested places anyways, like I
(09:34):
mean, it's a bunch of people anduh yeah, different germs,
different things, or whateverit's other than that.
Speaker 3 (09:39):

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Well, it's essentially like if you're
dating and you're single, you'renot in a relationship.
But winter comes and it's likeyou don't want to be going out
to bars and dating andeverything when the weather is
hostile, so it's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
the theory is when the weather's cold, you want
something warm to cuddle up to.
I feel you.
Is that true?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So is it more of a dating term or is it more of
like again, is it a wide?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
term for everything.
I think it's situational, likeduring football season.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Are you cuffing or you're partaking?
I?
Speaker 2 (13:16):

Speaker 1 (13:17):
No, it's definitely a cuff If you want to do it with
one person that's the wholething, it's definitely a cuff
that that around this time isthe time when people want to do
that, because nobody want to bein the wintertime snowed in by
themselves.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
So aka draft season, so you're drafting your it's

You know I'm not single, but I can imagine if
someone's single and they'retrying to figure out who they're
want to make a bad choice.

Speaker 2 (15:00):

wasting your fucking time.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
That's what I'm trying to say so I've already
anger you go.
Yes, hold on hold on, hold on,on hold, on hold on.
It ain't felt like that, right,mark?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Hold on, hold, on, hold on Ego.
After you get drafted, youstill got to go out there and
perform.
Hello, you got, and the hopesis to have a long career.
So what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Why are you saying everything that I did in college
enough?
Yep, that's wild.
I'm Al Bunny.
I live off that my fourtouchdowns at Polk High in one
game is all I need.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You still do what you do for the person.
You can still go out, you stillhang out, but if y'all are
already clicking and y'all aregood, oh you're talking about
the chase, like I'm not going tokeep chasing if it's not.
You know what I'm saying.
Keep chasing for cuffing allyear round.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So y'all talking about two different things.
He's talking about how toestablish.
He said after the six months.
And you're saying therelationship is established.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Because what I'm saying is if you've met that
woman, if you met that woman andyou guys decided to cuff.
Excuse me If you met that womanand you decided to cuff her,
and now y'all are in for Wait,tell me who's deciding Whoever.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I mean, y'all have both decided.
Y'all have mutual, it has to bemutual right.
Yeah, even though most times.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
it's not, it's just a woman telling you one day that,
hey, we together.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Because her draws is now in your draw, your draw.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
She pissed all over that shit.
You know what I'm saying.
So, like I was thinking, likeyou said, that after six months
I'm thinking timeline, I'mthinking like I already did the
work for like the cuffing seasonfor six months.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It's not work, but it's almost like in a
relationship almost I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
That's just to get her Mark.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Mark has some good advice.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Within six months you haven't moved in with her, so
it's not like you are paying herbills.
So I'm not saying nothing likethat.
I'm saying what type ofromantic gestures are you doing
to keep the relationship fresh,the spark Yay.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
And not even like romantic gestures.
It could be romantic gestures,but like what you know is it
like the functionality of it?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
The functionality Like what you know?
Is it like the functionality ofit?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Keeping in touch with her, talking to her like this
being.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Getting this money.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Do you know what I'm saying?
That effort is already beendoing, like she's already know
that's happening or whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Again, that's what I'm saying, that's assumed.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
If you're interested in that one person, you
relationship, you really have tobe a dope individual within
your own right.
You better still be making thismoney.
You better be taking care ofyourself.
You better be, you know, arighteous person overall,
because I mean, honestly, if youmeddling in some bullshit,
you're going to be, you know,full of shit.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Look, I'm going to tell you, young man, I'm going
to tell everybody if you leadwith your money, that's what
they're going to follow.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Well, listen, we didn't make the game.
No, no, no, no, no, no, we'rejust playing the game no.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm not saying don't get money.
I'm not saying don't get moneyI'm.
If you are the type that youlead with money, that is what
they're going to follow.
So the moment that that moneyis no longer there or you're no
longer doing what you did withthat money, they're no longer
going to be there.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, think of it as someone that's like a financial
expert, you know, that knows howto make money work and how to,
you know, save and all thatstuff Either way.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
If you realize, hey, I had this much money in the
beginning, I splurged a lot, sonow I'm tightening up.
She could leave you because nowyou're not splurging the way
you used to.
I think that is a real thingand that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
So it's not like you broke, you're just tightening up
because you're trying to makethat money last, but it sounds
like that's where the differenceof like what else you would
bring in the relationship.
Like obviously a connection orgestures doesn't always have to
be money based to add value Formost time when you were a man.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
you're going to have to have that money.
Okay, that's just what it'scoming down to.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Why would you entertain a relationship if
you're not going to be?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
with money.
You shouldn't date if you don'thave money gonna be so with
money, because the idea, if youknow, if you don't have money,
because the idea behind that is,as a human being, as a adult,
you are gonna have to pay 100 ofyour bills if you are single.
So now, if you've combined withsomebody and y'all are able to
do the 50 50 thing, I mean I'mnot a 50 50 yeah, I don't know
(22:58):
what that is.
I'm not a 50-50 nigga.
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
I'm not a 50-50 nigga.
I believe in paying all thebills as a man.
Just because I— Because youwant the power.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
No, not even just the pride, the idea behind it is—
you want the power.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No, it's the functionality If you leave—.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That was my $50 word.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
No, if you leave if you leave now, I have to figure
out where that money comes from.
So if you leave?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Why are you dependent on it?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, I'm no longer.
I'm not dependent, so I knowthat my money that's so
dependent.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
That's what I said.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
That's true, so you can leave scot-free so it's not
showing power, because then nowshe has to worry about because
she hasn't paid any bills andshe was relying on you.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No, it's powerful to lay down your power and let
someone else lead.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
She has to stay with you because you.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Because, more than likely, she's a woman in the
21st century.
She's working yes, and that'swhat I was saying.
So she has her money, it'spowerful.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
For me to allow you to lead, I'm going to take a
backseat to you and I'm going toallow you to lead.
That means that I'm going toallow you to be who you are, but
you have to be a self-standingman for me to allow you to do
that.
To take care of me is really aprivilege, because I'm trusting
in you that you're going to dothat.
But don't get it twisted,because I do it for myself.
But don't get it twisted.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I understand the 50-50 niggas also Because, like
I said, if you had to pay 100%and now I can instantly bring
that down to 50.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I can instantly bring that down to 50.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I can instantly bring that down to 50.
You can save, you can save.
Why would you not fuck with me?
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I think that's a nice starter kick If you look at it.
No, it's not a starter kick.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
It's a starter kick because don't get it twisted
Every man You're workingtogether as a business.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
No, every man wants to and at some point he will be.
At some point when he does, hewill do it.
You know how much honor andrespect and power comes with
that, but that's You're not justpaying the bills, you're the
man.
Yes, you understand, you'rehonored, you're praised, you're
trusted in.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, but most men You're not just paying bills,
but most men aren't, because theidea of taking out the trash,
mowing the lawn, being theprotector, just being a man,
isn't respected anymore Is thatyour expectation of what a man
is.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
What's your expectation of what a man is?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
No, the expectation of being a man is leading his
family, is providing for hisfamily, is protecting his family
.
That is the expectations of aman.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And you intend on having a family.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And also teaching his family Right.
So those four things are what aman and you intend on having,
and also teaching his familyright.
So those four things are what aman is supposed to do, and the
thing about it is most women arechoosing money over the rest of
them?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
are you doing that without checking under the hood?
What do you mean?
Are you being all those fourthings for someone that you
didn't check under the hood?
That works for you?
Are you looking at how the insand out of this person is that
you're about to do this for?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh no, and that's the thing.
But that's the thing Mostpeople don't realize that, the
freedom to be anybody, for you.
No, because by the time youPeople wear a mask for a long
time.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
How long and I think that's what he was saying?
So, is it more than six monthsfor someone to have a mask to
show you who they are as aperson, for you to keep doing
what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
That's a valid point.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Some people can keep that mask on for years.
So six months is more thanenough, like he's saying.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Six months is long enough to know if I'm going to
be functioning with you.
And I'm trying to tell you,within six months you could be
duped.
I say it's two weeks.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You could be duped in years years, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, but I'm justsaying like for me.
You asked me like what I'mdoing, to pretty much keep
upkeep right If I already knowthis person's worth enough me
upkeeping.
I already did what I did.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There's honor in there, she recognizes it, I
recognize it, but I only needone pay period.
Okay, give me two weeks, giveme two weekends, give me two
Fridays to come around.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I give me two Fridays to come around.
I'm gonna be like, oh, I knowwhat to do.
You understand?
I think you taxing that man,that guy's great Mark what you
gotta say.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I just need one, I need two no, I'm gonna know who
you are as a man in one paper.
I think that.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I see both sides to it, though, cause I think that
the 50-50 thing, well, that hasit's pros, obviously if you're
still the sole provider.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's struggle right there 50-50.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Help me out.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
That's like Chris Rock give me one, can I get one?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
If you're a family unit, though it's not like
you're single and you're payingit for yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
If you're a family unit, you could be paying 100%.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
But if you're a single person paying 100% versus
a family paying 100%, the billincreases by at least double,
maybe quadruple with a kid andyou become a steward of money
because you are doing that andit flows to you.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Your money will come through you because you're the
vessel to that family that youare a provider for I guess, but
then also, like you might have,like a situation where your wife
is working.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
That's a heavy burden .
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You won't have it.
You won't be able to sustain it, so that's not even a problem
for you If you can't sustain it.
That's not your worry.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I've literally had a homeboy go crazy because of the
burden that was put on him thathe should have let go.
No, not that he should have letgo.
If he would have let go, he'dlet his family go, but he wasn't
trying to let his family go andthe pressure of having a
newborn child, freshly beingmarried, being young and at the
time he lost his job.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
I couldn't be with him you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
His woman now was the sole provider.
She was kind of talking to himcrazy, you know what I'm saying.
And due to his probably familyhistory, all that was enough to
make him snap.
He literally lost his mind.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah so— and that's what.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm saying Men—that's the type of pressure men are
under.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
So when you— I think it's not a man thing, I think
it's a capitalist society thing.
You got bills on your back, no,but that's what.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I'm saying, but the idea behind it is a man has to
now take on not only his bills,but your bills.
I have to take on your hair,your nails, oh I know I really
honestly, I just had thisconversation.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I enjoy taking care of myself.
My grooming is no one else'sresponsibility.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
So you take all care of that so me taking.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I don't require that and I don't size you up on how
much you take care of me, but Ithink I think most women do.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I should say in this, and that's a way to have a
benchmark on how someone lovesyou, but that's because I do
that for myself.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
That's like that's how mark what you're gonna say,
but I think also there's a lotof times where, like having a
situation where, like sure, theman is working, but then also
his wife is working or the otherspouse is working, wherever the
situation is, and that can besomething where there's two
incomes.
So I think having a 50-50 thingcan sometimes be like you were
(29:29):
saying.
It's like a business, thefamily because you are going to
have to make decisions togetherbuying a place, buying cars.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
And you're more together.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, it works Exactly.
It's very beneficial becauseexcuse me, covid, alright, it's
very beneficial because, as aman, if, like they say, the
average man in this countrymakes actually like 39,000- yeah
, right, like that's the.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I don't believe that no, it's true.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
No, it's true we live in a high.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
It's how you get them .
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Sneakers, then I don't make 39,000 no, but thank
god we live in a high.
It's how you get them.
Sneakers, then I don't make$39,000.
No, but Thank God.
The average of the UnitedStates, the average is they not
talking about me?
No, I'm not, You're living in aD&D.
We're living on the.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
East Coast in an affluent area.
People in the you know the sortof the Midwestern sort of
pockets.
Cost of living is low there too, but that's what.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I'm saying it's the average.
Don't put me in that bucket.
You above average.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
And I'm not talking to people like 39,000.
No disrespect, that's just notwhere my walk is.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
No, but the idea behind it is there's a lot of
people that make less than that.
That's the average.
What that got to do with me,though?
Either way, I'm just sayingthat's the pool that's out there
, so you might not be choosingfrom that pool.
You might be choosing from apool that's a lot higher, but
the idea behind it is the poolout there is.
The average man makes $39,000.
(30:49):
So for you to expect theaverage man.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You cannot apply that rule to everything.
Come on, let's keep it real.
If you take that on, let's keepthis where we are.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
No, the idea about that is, if you take that into
consideration and you thinkabout it, that if I spun in a
circle and pointed at any man,he'd probably make $39,000.
But that's everybody too, Wouldyour expectations of that man
still be that high, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Someone that makes $39,000 will give their entire
check towards the household andthat will be his sole purpose to
make sure the house is good andthey will find fulfillment in
it, and y'all will fail.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
And there's no failure.
There's no failure when youhave choices.
39,000 is not enough to keepthe house going.
It's just.
39,000 is not enough.
It's a finite amount of money.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
But again, that's, again, that's dependent.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
But you shouldn't be dating if you can't afford that
Like if you live in Texas, WacoTexas, that's actually Florida.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I can't get no pussy because I'm broke.
It's crazy, yo Ace where doesmy house?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
go Certain parts of Texas.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Wait, wait, wait Ace nobody should be getting no
pootie tang if they ain't gotmore than $39,000.
That's crazy.
Yeah, yo, that's all I got.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
We could go geographic.
We can go geographic.
Fucking pootie time, fuckingweather time, that's all I got.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I'm playing, I'm playing.

So, ace, what's up yo?
It's been a long week for me,though.
How about?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
you, bro, I'm going to keep it a buck.
Your boys survived the boutwith COVID, oh yeah, I didn't
even know I had it.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Spreading germs and shit.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Bro, it's crazy, I didn't know I had it.
Luckily, I'm one of thosepeople who decide when I'm sick
I'm going to actually stay homeNice.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Good call.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Respect Just because, and especially nowadays, you
don't know if it's COVID or coldor whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That's why you over there.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's the reason why I'm on the boards.
I can spread shit.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I got that old COVID.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
The way I see it, is any reason to take off from work
.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
All that yeah I'm gonna take it, so that's a good
call.
A little, a little, I'm takingoff well, you earn it, I'm
taking off, better use it so youknow it is gonna be crazy this
fall because all the kids thefirst week of school they're all
spreading that again for thefirst time.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
But isn't there a new strain?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
There is a new strain .
Yeah, I'm going to be honest,it's weak.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's weak, you got weak, although it does spread
easily.
You call it some millennialCOVID.
I'm going to tell you right nowthat JZ COVID that.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
JZ.
Covid that JZ.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Hey, the first COVID, the first one, that was a GX,
that was a silent generation.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That thing whooped my ass.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
That first COVID whooped my ass.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That was straight out of World War III.
Did you tell anybody?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
No, no, no, I was in the crib.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
When it first came out it was kind of scary.
It was bad.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It was crazy scary.
I wasn't scared.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It was bad.
The worst part about it was youwere sick and silent.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Still no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
This is why I'm so mad, because for the longest I
went without getting vaccinatedand I literally got vaccinated.
Within six weeks of me gettingvaccinated, I caught COVID.
I was so mad bro, I was like yo, what the point?
But whatever, I took thevaccine.
You did a few rounds.
(03:27):
I did the vaccine and thesecond one I just put some crack
on it.
That was it.
You know what I'm saying, bro.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You was only going to be able to shoot me up twice
bro, I couldn't do it no more, Ijust put bleach on it.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
You did the Trump thing you put bleach on my body
are you drinking the Cloroxthough?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
no, I couldn't afford Clorox.
I went to.
I went to big.
I went to big locks.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I went to big locks don't take any COVID advice from
me, I'm just saying this newone was weak.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think it was different.
I think it was different, Ithink it was different for
everybody.
You ain't miss no work, huh nah.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I miss work.
Like I said, I took off workjust cause I had to, but that's
all it was.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It was just a little cause they didn't play any vice.
Oh, you ain't miss no money.
Oh, I ain't miss no money youain't miss no money.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, that PTO is working.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
The thing that I worry about, though, because it
is I heard that for a lot ofways that this one is it gets.
It's less and less like it'smore diluted but it spreads
easier.
So it's like you're going tocatch it but you won't feel that
bad.
But then I guess there's a lotof studies which is still like
very unknown, which is, I guess,a scary part of like stuff that
can happen later in life whenyou've had COVID more than once,
(04:42):
multiple times.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I think your body is adjusting.
Speaker 2 (04:46):

occupational therapy degree uh,which has been uh big up
yourself appreciate that.
Thank you, you know, for workingthe therapy center and
everything, but it's been, uh,it's been a big adjustment.
This is the first semester, youknow, with, with covid, and
(07:20):
everything was doing onlinelearning.
Now I'm at the point where I'mgetting into the classes and
classrooms are open again, soI'm having to go in person and
that is kind of troublesomebecause it's in Catonsville,
which is like all the way.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Right, I need to buy a lunchbox.
Legit, yo Legit.
Speaker 4 (07:38):

Are they separating the seats though, like you know
how like?
No, no, it's pretty much likeBack to normal.
There's no more COVIDrestrictions.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's basically yeah, like if you can mask, if you
want, if you're vaccinated.
Yeah, they're just kind ofassuming everyone's gotten their
shots, everyone's cool with it.
You know, if you want a mask,you can mask.
If you don't want a mask, youcan't mask.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I got a question.
You don't have to.
I got a question for all y whenyou cough, do you feel some
type of way when you cough now?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Do you know how, back in the day, when motherfuckers
coughed, you're like shit, Ishouldn't cough.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I will say this though that hurts, to hold it in
a cough, I feel some type ofway.
If it's a lot, though, forinstance, I was on a plane back
from Armenia and on my way backI had to put on a mask for
myself, just because the lady arow away from me was for like an
hour and a half was coughingnonstop and she had no mask on,
(08:34):
and she was like I'm talking,like she had the airplane, the
complimentary pillow, like dyinginto it, and I felt bad.
The people next to her werejust ignoring, like phasing her
out, and I'm like yo, like, areyou good?
I mean, it was a long flight.
It was like from Armenia, Ithink it was like eight or nine
hours.
We did a layover in gosh, Idon't even remember where, and
(08:56):
then we did that.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That's where the COVID came from.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I would have been like why isn't the stewardess
bringing a mask for this lady,like at that point?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
No, I would have been like angry, angry, angry, like
you said.
I mean, I don't really careabout a cough here and there,
but if you are coughingrepeatedly to the point where
you really seem sick and we arein a little tube like come on,
bro, that's insensitive to acertain extent and I think
planes are the most germinfested places anyways, like I
(09:34):
mean, it's a bunch of people anduh yeah, different germs,
different things, or whateverit's other than that.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I'm sorry to cut you off because oh, no, no, no let's
keep it.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Eric, always cutting people off?
No, like we said it's what I dothat's a DMV thing, the 495.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
You cut the name one off.
Speaker 3 (09:49):

You got it.
You got it, go ahead.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Cuffing season, you got it.
So cuffing season is, I guess,are you cuffing shit?
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Well, it's essentially like if you're
dating and you're single, you'renot in a relationship.
But winter comes and it's likeyou don't want to be going out
to bars and dating andeverything when the weather is
hostile, so it's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
the theory is when the weather's cold, you want
something warm to cuddle up to.
I feel you.
Is that true?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So is it more of a dating term or is it more of
like again, is it a wide?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
term for everything.
I think it's situational, likeduring football season.
I want to watch football withyou soon You're cuffing.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Are you cuffing or you're partaking?
I?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
think that's a cuff.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
No, it's definitely a cuff If you want to do it with
one person that's the wholething, it's definitely a cuff
that that around this time isthe time when people want to do
that, because nobody want to bein the wintertime snowed in by
themselves.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
So aka draft season, so you're drafting your it's
combine yeah, yeah, yeah, it'scombine season.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
There you go.
You know what I'm saying?
Everybody is.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
They're putting their picks in.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
They got to make sure who the draft pick is going to
be, who the top picks are goingto be who the top picks are
going to be.
Trying to put together a roster, trying to trim down the roster
yeah, but your options.
No, but you're trying to trimdown the roster.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
You got a team.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You know what I'm saying Because there's hot
stakes.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You know I'm not single, but I can imagine if
someone's single and they'retrying to figure out who they're
want to make a bad choice.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
It was hot boy, summer it was hot boy summer so
you probably had a good, maybethree, hopefully four that you
had, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Are you playing space ?
You know what I'm saying?
Three in the possible, three inthe possible.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Hopefully you had three in the possible to choose
from you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
All you need is two.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
When it so when they come around football cuffing
season, you know what?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I'm saying you start trimming that roster down.
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You be like you know what she cool, but I can't be
around her for too long, sothat's the whole season.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
then Hot boy, summer, cuffing season, cuddling season
.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
No, hot boy.
Summer is definitely thecombine and then break up.
You just finding everything.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Yeah, spring is the break up.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh yeah, combine, and then break up, you just finding
everything.
Yeah, spring is a breakup.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Oh yeah, spring is definitely the breakup, because
that's when the sundress isstarting to come back on.
Yeah, that's when you're like Ineed options back.
I gotta get back on the roster.
And the cycle continues.
Oh yeah, you get your freeagency.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, free agency, but you wouldn't be a free agent
if somebody kept you now, wouldyou no?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
but the thing about it is when the weather changes,
people's feelings start tochange.
You start looking at othercontracts.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, you start seeing other prospects Because
when the weather changes andsundresses come out, you be like
hold on, she been working outthis whole winter we back to
different right.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Men with self-control know how to go to work without
looking at asses.

Why can't, why can you not look, mark?
You don't look at asses, do you?
Yeah, no, he don't yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:39):

But Keisha from HR got a fatass and I do know that.

But she missing.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Her side too, she might be she might be, but that
ass is fat and I like to look atit.
I ain't doing nothing, but Ijust like to look at it.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
So what keeps you going home?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
You ain't going home with these shit.
So are we done with the cuffingseason.
Now we're going into like theacademy shit, like yo, y'all
jumping around timelines andshit, just fucking me up.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
If you would just let it happen.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Okay, it would happen .
I'm confused.
I'm confused, if you would justlet it.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It's literally happening organically right now.
If you would just let it happen, it would happen, I promise.
Call the police.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Hello, 911?
.
Hold on, what were you saying?
The name for a black Karen wasbefore Keisha.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Keisha.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Oh shit, man, Nah, nah, but yes.
So with.
With that being said, what washe talking about?
No, no, with that.
With that being said, after youhave cut down your roster and
it's a two it gotta be two.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
No, no no, no.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
After you cut down your roster and you made your
pick, you've cuffed.
Okay, what do you?
What are you going to do tokeep that partner?
What are you going to do tokeep that man Ego?
What are you going to do tokeep that woman?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I was about to say you better say nothing.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, ask him first so he can get it all out.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I don't need to do shit.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I already did enough the whole year to fucking keep,
so I don't need to do anythingelse, you just cuffed her.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I just cuffed her, so y'all are within six months.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Like it's very new in the relationship.
You guys are still getting toknow each other.
What?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
are you doing to keep this woman I?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
am that type of person that already did all the
work in the beginning, so it iswhat it is.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
That sounds crazy.
Yep, it's already done.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
He said within six months, you should know what
this is.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, because again I should already after six months
is too damn long.
Three months cause.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I already put it.
That's not long.
You talking about lifetimeswith someone.
Think about it cause.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Think about it when you're doing cuffing, you're
doing a lot of work to proveyourself like dating what's a
lot of work.
Break that down money, time, uh, effort of actually proving you
, you're pretty much puttingpicking up bitches, they.
Oh.
This is one person you'recuffing.
You're trying to put your your,you're giving your resume and
you're trying to prove yourselfright, but six months, if you're
(18:40):
still doing the same shit insix months, you're fucking
wasting your fucking time.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
That's what I'm trying to say so I've already
anger you go.
Yes, hold on hold on, hold on,on hold, on hold on.
It ain't felt like that, right,mark?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Hold on, hold, on, hold on Ego.
After you get drafted, youstill got to go out there and
perform.
Hello, you got, and the hopesis to have a long career.
So what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Why are you saying everything that I did in college
enough?
Yep, that's wild.
I'm Al Bunny.
I live off that my fourtouchdowns at Polk High in one
game is all I need.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You still do what you do for the person.
You can still go out, you stillhang out, but if y'all are
already clicking and y'all aregood, oh you're talking about
the chase, like I'm not going tokeep chasing if it's not.
You know what I'm saying.
Keep chasing for cuffing allyear round.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So y'all talking about two different things.
He's talking about how toestablish.
He said after the six months.
And you're saying therelationship is established.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Because what I'm saying is if you've met that
woman, if you met that woman andyou guys decided to cuff.
Excuse me If you met that womanand you decided to cuff her,
and now y'all are in for Wait,tell me who's deciding Whoever.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I mean, y'all have both decided.
Y'all have mutual, it has to bemutual right.
Yeah, even though most times.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
it's not, it's just a woman telling you one day that,
hey, we together.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Because her draws is now in your draw, your draw.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
She pissed all over that shit.
You know what I'm saying.
So, like I was thinking, likeyou said, that after six months
I'm thinking timeline, I'mthinking like I already did the
work for like the cuffing seasonfor six months.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It's not work, but it's almost like in a
relationship almost I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
That's just to get her Mark.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Mark has some good advice.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Within six months you haven't moved in with her, so
it's not like you are paying herbills.
So I'm not saying nothing likethat.
I'm saying what type ofromantic gestures are you doing
to keep the relationship fresh,the spark Yay.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
And not even like romantic gestures.
It could be romantic gestures,but like what you know is it
like the functionality of it?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
The functionality Like what you know?
Is it like the functionality ofit?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Keeping in touch with her, talking to her like this
being.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Getting this money.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Do you know what I'm saying?
That effort is already beendoing, like she's already know
that's happening or whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Again, that's what I'm saying, that's assumed.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
If you're interested in that one person, you
relationship, you really have tobe a dope individual within
your own right.
You better still be making thismoney.
You better be taking care ofyourself.
You better be, you know, arighteous person overall,
because I mean, honestly, if youmeddling in some bullshit,
you're going to be, you know,full of shit.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Look, I'm going to tell you, young man, I'm going
to tell everybody if you leadwith your money, that's what
they're going to follow.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Well, listen, we didn't make the game.
No, no, no, no, no, no, we'rejust playing the game no.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm not saying don't get money.
I'm not saying don't get moneyI'm.
If you are the type that youlead with money, that is what
they're going to follow.
So the moment that that moneyis no longer there or you're no
longer doing what you did withthat money, they're no longer
going to be there.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, think of it as someone that's like a financial
expert, you know, that knows howto make money work and how to,
you know, save and all thatstuff Either way.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
If you realize, hey, I had this much money in the
beginning, I splurged a lot, sonow I'm tightening up.
She could leave you because nowyou're not splurging the way
you used to.
I think that is a real thingand that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
So it's not like you broke, you're just tightening up
because you're trying to makethat money last, but it sounds
like that's where the differenceof like what else you would
bring in the relationship.
Like obviously a connection orgestures doesn't always have to
be money based to add value Formost time when you were a man.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
you're going to have to have that money.
Okay, that's just what it'scoming down to.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Why would you entertain a relationship if
you're not going to be?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
with money.
You shouldn't date if you don'thave money gonna be so with
money, because the idea, if youknow, if you don't have money,
because the idea behind that is,as a human being, as a adult,
you are gonna have to pay 100 ofyour bills if you are single.
So now, if you've combined withsomebody and y'all are able to
do the 50 50 thing, I mean I'mnot a 50 50 yeah, I don't know
(22:58):
what that is.
I'm not a 50-50 nigga.
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
I'm not a 50-50 nigga.
I believe in paying all thebills as a man.
Just because I— Because youwant the power.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
No, not even just the pride, the idea behind it is—
you want the power.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No, it's the functionality If you leave—.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That was my $50 word.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
No, if you leave if you leave now, I have to figure
out where that money comes from.
So if you leave?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Why are you dependent on it?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, I'm no longer.
I'm not dependent, so I knowthat my money that's so
dependent.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
That's what I said.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
That's true, so you can leave scot-free so it's not
showing power, because then nowshe has to worry about because
she hasn't paid any bills andshe was relying on you.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No, it's powerful to lay down your power and let
someone else lead.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
She has to stay with you because you.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Because, more than likely, she's a woman in the
21st century.
She's working yes, and that'swhat I was saying.
So she has her money, it'spowerful.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
For me to allow you to lead, I'm going to take a
backseat to you and I'm going toallow you to lead.
That means that I'm going toallow you to be who you are, but
you have to be a self-standingman for me to allow you to do
that.
To take care of me is really aprivilege, because I'm trusting
in you that you're going to dothat.
But don't get it twisted,because I do it for myself.
But don't get it twisted.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I understand the 50-50 niggas also Because, like
I said, if you had to pay 100%and now I can instantly bring
that down to 50.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I can instantly bring that down to 50.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I can instantly bring that down to 50.
You can save, you can save.
Why would you not fuck with me?
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I think that's a nice starter kick If you look at it.
No, it's not a starter kick.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
It's a starter kick because don't get it twisted
Every man You're workingtogether as a business.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
No, every man wants to and at some point he will be.
At some point when he does, hewill do it.
You know how much honor andrespect and power comes with
that, but that's You're not justpaying the bills, you're the
man.
Yes, you understand, you'rehonored, you're praised, you're
trusted in.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, but most men You're not just paying bills,
but most men aren't, because theidea of taking out the trash,
mowing the lawn, being theprotector, just being a man,
isn't respected anymore Is thatyour expectation of what a man
is.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
What's your expectation of what a man is?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
No, the expectation of being a man is leading his
family, is providing for hisfamily, is protecting his family
.
That is the expectations of aman.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And you intend on having a family.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And also teaching his family Right.
So those four things are what aman and you intend on having,
and also teaching his familyright.
So those four things are what aman is supposed to do, and the
thing about it is most women arechoosing money over the rest of
them?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
are you doing that without checking under the hood?
What do you mean?
Are you being all those fourthings for someone that you
didn't check under the hood?
That works for you?
Are you looking at how the insand out of this person is that
you're about to do this for?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh no, and that's the thing.
But that's the thing Mostpeople don't realize that, the
freedom to be anybody, for you.
No, because by the time youPeople wear a mask for a long
time.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
How long and I think that's what he was saying?
So, is it more than six monthsfor someone to have a mask to
show you who they are as aperson, for you to keep doing
what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
That's a valid point.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Some people can keep that mask on for years.
So six months is more thanenough, like he's saying.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Six months is long enough to know if I'm going to
be functioning with you.
And I'm trying to tell you,within six months you could be
duped.
I say it's two weeks.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You could be duped in years years, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, but I'm justsaying like for me.
You asked me like what I'mdoing, to pretty much keep
upkeep right If I already knowthis person's worth enough me
upkeeping.
I already did what I did.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There's honor in there, she recognizes it, I
recognize it, but I only needone pay period.
Okay, give me two weeks, giveme two weekends, give me two
Fridays to come around.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I give me two Fridays to come around.
I'm gonna be like, oh, I knowwhat to do.
You understand?
I think you taxing that man,that guy's great Mark what you
gotta say.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I just need one, I need two no, I'm gonna know who
you are as a man in one paper.
I think that.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I see both sides to it, though, cause I think that
the 50-50 thing, well, that hasit's pros, obviously if you're
still the sole provider.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's struggle right there 50-50.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Help me out.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
That's like Chris Rock give me one, can I get one?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
If you're a family unit, though it's not like
you're single and you're payingit for yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
If you're a family unit, you could be paying 100%.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
But if you're a single person paying 100% versus
a family paying 100%, the billincreases by at least double,
maybe quadruple with a kid andyou become a steward of money
because you are doing that andit flows to you.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Your money will come through you because you're the
vessel to that family that youare a provider for I guess, but
then also, like you might have,like a situation where your wife
is working.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
That's a heavy burden .
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You won't have it.
You won't be able to sustain it, so that's not even a problem
for you If you can't sustain it.
That's not your worry.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I've literally had a homeboy go crazy because of the
burden that was put on him thathe should have let go.
No, not that he should have letgo.
If he would have let go, he'dlet his family go, but he wasn't
trying to let his family go andthe pressure of having a
newborn child, freshly beingmarried, being young and at the
time he lost his job.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
I couldn't be with him you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
His woman now was the sole provider.
She was kind of talking to himcrazy, you know what I'm saying.
And due to his probably familyhistory, all that was enough to
make him snap.
He literally lost his mind.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah so— and that's what.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm saying Men—that's the type of pressure men are
under.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
So when you— I think it's not a man thing, I think
it's a capitalist society thing.
You got bills on your back, no,but that's what.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I'm saying, but the idea behind it is a man has to
now take on not only his bills,but your bills.
I have to take on your hair,your nails, oh I know I really
honestly, I just had thisconversation.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I enjoy taking care of myself.
My grooming is no one else'sresponsibility.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
So you take all care of that so me taking.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I don't require that and I don't size you up on how
much you take care of me, but Ithink I think most women do.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I should say in this, and that's a way to have a
benchmark on how someone lovesyou, but that's because I do
that for myself.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
That's like that's how mark what you're gonna say,
but I think also there's a lotof times where, like having a
situation where, like sure, theman is working, but then also
his wife is working or the otherspouse is working, wherever the
situation is, and that can besomething where there's two
incomes.
So I think having a 50-50 thingcan sometimes be like you were
(29:29):
saying.
It's like a business, thefamily because you are going to
have to make decisions togetherbuying a place, buying cars.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
And you're more together.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, it works Exactly.
It's very beneficial becauseexcuse me, covid, alright, it's
very beneficial because, as aman, if, like they say, the
average man in this countrymakes actually like 39,000- yeah
, right, like that's the.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I don't believe that no, it's true.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
No, it's true we live in a high.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
It's how you get them .
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Sneakers, then I don't make 39,000 no, but thank
god we live in a high.
It's how you get them.
Sneakers, then I don't make$39,000.
No, but Thank God.
The average of the UnitedStates, the average is they not
talking about me?
No, I'm not, You're living in aD&D.
We're living on the.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
East Coast in an affluent area.
People in the you know the sortof the Midwestern sort of
pockets.
Cost of living is low there too, but that's what.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I'm saying it's the average.
Don't put me in that bucket.
You above average.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
And I'm not talking to people like 39,000.
No disrespect, that's just notwhere my walk is.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
No, but the idea behind it is there's a lot of
people that make less than that.
That's the average.
What that got to do with me,though?
Either way, I'm just sayingthat's the pool that's out there
, so you might not be choosingfrom that pool.
You might be choosing from apool that's a lot higher, but
the idea behind it is the poolout there is.
The average man makes $39,000.
(30:49):
So for you to expect theaverage man.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You cannot apply that rule to everything.
Come on, let's keep it real.
If you take that on, let's keepthis where we are.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
No, the idea about that is, if you take that into
consideration and you thinkabout it, that if I spun in a
circle and pointed at any man,he'd probably make $39,000.
But that's everybody too, Wouldyour expectations of that man
still be that high, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Someone that makes $39,000 will give their entire
check towards the household andthat will be his sole purpose to
make sure the house is good andthey will find fulfillment in
it, and y'all will fail.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
And there's no failure.
There's no failure when youhave choices.
39,000 is not enough to keepthe house going.
It's just.
39,000 is not enough.
It's a finite amount of money.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
But again, that's, again, that's dependent.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
But you shouldn't be dating if you can't afford that
Like if you live in Texas, WacoTexas, that's actually Florida.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I can't get no pussy because I'm broke.
It's crazy, yo Ace where doesmy house?
Speaker 4 (31:43):

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Wait, wait, wait Ace nobody should be getting no
pootie tang if they ain't gotmore than $39,000.
That's crazy.
Yeah, yo, that's all I got.
Speaker 3 (31:57):

We can go geographic.
