Why Hooking People Up Always Backfires?

Big Slick here 👊 Got a story or need advice? Text me now — might make it on Talk Ya Sh!t! 🎙️💯

Welcome back to Talk Ya Sh!t, the podcast where Big Slick keeps it all the way real — no filters, no fluff.

In this episode, we’re talking about why hooking people up always seems to go left. You put somebody on to a job — they quit. You connect two people — they break up and blame you. You give game, plug opportunities, or offer discounts — and somehow you’re the bad guy.

Big Slick breaks down the truth about ungrateful people, free handouts, and why not everyone deserves access to your resources. This one’s for anyone who’s ever tried to help others and got burned for it.

whatever.
Yo, I got you.
So you hook them up with a job.
They good for like 30 days.
Probation period usually beabout 90 days or something like
that.
They're good for like 30 days.
After 30 days, they startcalling out, they start coming

in late, they start actingcrazy.
You know what I'm saying?
And then they want to use yourname and everything.
Well, such and such is mycousin, he's the boss, he the

They end up getting fired.
Now, your bosses is looking atyou like you're crazy, like, yo,

And now your family or friendcoming to you like, oh, I ain't

People kill me with that withthe hookup.
The other hookup.

(02:13):
You know, somebody, your homeboywants to hook you up, want want

Yo, I like her.
Yo, hook me up with her.
That's always a crazy thing.
So you hooks him up, introducethem.
They break up a month or twolater.
He comes and everybody blamingit on you.

(02:34):
Yo, why you introduce me to her?
Bruh, you came to me asking forthe hookup.
What are you talking about?
Now you mad because you foundout she's crazy.
That's on you.
But everybody mad at you.
But you wanted the hookup.
This is what kills me.
People want the hookup, but thenwhen they get it, they don't

(02:55):
want it.
It it makes no sense.
It makes no sense.
Here go another one.
You got your own business.
You know, it's a millionentrepreneurs out there doing
their thing.
You got your small business, youdoing your thing out there.
Why, when you trying to buildyour business, everybody and

(03:17):
their mama want the hookup.
Bruh, I'm just starting out.
What what do you mean you wantthe hookup?
How can you get a discount whenI'm just I'm trying to recoup on
my investment?
I'm I'm just starting, I'm asmall business.
You supposed to be helping meout.
You over here looking for halfprices, bruh.
It don't work that way, man.

(03:37):
Why everybody do that when somewhen somebody starts a business?
They think they can get stufffor free off a half price.
But you will go out to one ofthese big businesses out here
and don't question no price tagsat all.
You just buy it, you just payfor it.
Ain't no negotiating, you getit.

(03:58):
Sneakers cost$150,$200.
You buying them.
But your homeboy, your cousin,or whatever got something going
on, you asking him, yo, can Iget it for can I get it for this
price?
Can I get it for that price?
Stop doing that, man.
So support small businesses outhere, man.

(04:19):
Because you're paying that moneywhen you go anywhere else.
Why don't you pay it towards oneof your friends, your family?
It's crazy that people bewanting hookups when somebody's
trying to get their businessestablished.
I never understood the hookupwith that one.
That that's crazy.
The last one, this this is theone, right?

(04:42):
You hook somebody up with somegood information, right?
And that's the way you do it.
You network.
A lot of things pop off becauseof you networking with somebody.
You know what I'm saying?
They passing that knowledgealong, they already experienced
it, so now they can let youknow.
So you don't got to make thesame mistakes.
Maybe you can cut around thelittle corners, you know.
I'm saying, get to point A topoint B a little bit faster

(05:05):
because this person already beenthrough it.
So this person hooks you up withinformation, tell you how to do
it step by step, and you don'tuse it at all.
Nothing.
So that person just wasted allhis time trying to put money in
your pocket, trying to get youright, trying to get you ahead

(05:26):
of the game, and you don't evenuse the information.
Now, all these situations iswhat happens is that people stop
hooking people up becausesomebody always messing up the
hookup.
So now when it's a good person'sturn to get the hookup, nobody
don't want to look out for thecookout.
That's what happens, man.

(05:46):
A lot of people messing it upfor the next man because they
ain't taking the hookup andusing it, man.
When you get good information,you're supposed to use it.
You get plugged into a good job,you're supposed to use that job.
And if you leave, leave on goodterms.
If you wanted a relationshipwith somebody, you're supposed
to try to make that thing workout.

(06:07):
You know what I mean?
If somebody got a smallbusiness, come on, don't ask for
the hookup.
They just started.
Let these people getestablished.
Maybe later on down the line,you know.
I'm saying they can look out foryou, but if they just get
started, how do you want thehookup?
It makes no sense.
So, people, this this is thetakeaway from this episode, man.

(06:28):
Stop asking for the hookup ifyou're not gonna use it.
And if you're not using it,don't ask for it because you're
messing it up for other peoplethat really need a hookup.
Come on, man.
