Southside.

Southside.
Ant (06:27):
We in the Houston area yeah
like you know, but we all from
St Louis, like, we all grew upthere, we all was born there,
you know what I'm saying.
So we all got ties there,whether it's still family,
friends or whatever.
So I'm curious for y'all, right, I we've been gone now.
So I say for myself, I've beengone four years, right, so
(06:48):
that's a good amount of time, Ithink, to settle into a new city
, kind of get away from it andcompare.
You know, I'm saying especiallyin adult years, because I
wasn't an adult there for thatlong.
It was six, seven years, yeah,but yeah, nigga.
So, like what y'all miss?
Y'all miss anything about thecity.

cousins, my brothers, my sister.
Ant (07:23):
Now I'm going to have to go
back and visit grave sites,
which is it's cool, you know Ifeel like that's the call of the
city, though I feel like,almost, if you spent any time
over like a few years in thecity, you probably got some
bodies you got to go back andvisit.
Like I feel like a lot ofpeople.
(07:45):
That's like almost like a markof being at least from st louis,
even if you ain't just, youknow, moved to live there.
If you from st louis, I feellike that's part of the city.
You grew up with a story ofgrief, yeah, some type of loss.
Monte' Corleone (07:52):
You know what
I'm saying yeah, but overall the
people man, all my people brothat's and that's interesting.

You need what you think broLike.
Is there anything you missabout home?

No, stick out, boy Nah On base.
Uniq (08:11):
I mean honestly, man.
Only thing Niggas be missing IsChina man.
The food type, shit, yeah, andlike you know, emos, because
every time we go home we getsomething that we didn't eat or
we can't get out here, right.
So Like castles, right, becauseevery time we go home we get

Right, it's gonna be something,whatever it is.
Vicasos, china, chinese foodman.
(08:32):
We be saying China man boy,that's crazy.
Ant (08:34):
I don't say it no more.
I say chop suey, cause, like Aynigga, I be trying to.
Yeah, bro, if I'm with someniggas and I know that's what
they understand.
Cool.
China it's the China man.
Think about that, bro, if Isend somebody To St Louis.
And be like hey, go get someChina man, they gonna go up in
there.
Yeah, I'm here for the Chinaman.
Niggas finna be in there.
(08:54):
Like what, excuse me?
Monte' Corleone (08:57):
Yeah, you here
for what nigga?
I really ain't think about that.
No one has to think about that.
Ant (09:02):
That's what I'm saying
because I be giving referrals
for people down here becausethis a food city.
So when I talk to people aboutSt Louis, people go up there for
the arts or family or work orwhatever the fuck it is.
So I tell people stop, get yousome rice, here's a couple spots
.
Get you some emos Piece it, tryit out.
Walk up in there bright eyedLike, uh yeah, I'm here For the
(09:24):
Chinaman.
He told me to get a full orderof some Chinaman.
Like what?
That's some crab rangoon.
Monte' Corleone (09:35):
Now here's the
thing that's gonna be on them,
cause they stupid enough To goin there and do that.
Yeah, like so, but I get whatyou're saying though.
Ant (09:45):
Because it's a culture
thing.
I feel like people don't callit that.
Because for people like Iwonder what the white folks call
it in St Louis.
Anybody know White folks fromSt Louis?
Have you ever heard them referto that?
Shit, couldn't tell you, dothey just say fried rice,
probably so you know that?
Ain't said Chinaman, right.
Uniq (10:07):
I ain't never tripped off
that.
I ain't never tripped off that.
Ant (10:09):
Culture, bro, that's one
thing I'll say that being here
taught me Recognizing othercultures.
I guess on a day-to-day itain't like I didn't recognize
them when we was there, but shit, down here I move a little
different.
You know what I'm saying?
All right, so let's talk aboutthis, because I like where we at
kind of talk about the city,let's talk about why we left.
But Unique, I want to startwith you.
(10:30):
Why do you feel like youdecided to permanently move away
from St Louis?
Uniq (10:37):
It was nothing for me to
come back to.
For real, I got tired of seeingus honestly, because I went to
the military at a young age andthat was my first time being
exposed to so much differentdiversity, so it was a breath of
fresh air and me knowing wherewe from.
(11:01):
There's nothing but us.
All you seeing is black people.
All you seeing Is struggle,violence and Just crabs in a
bucket man.
That's it, but that's it.
I just wanted somethingdifferent, that's it.
You know what I'm saying.
I am not bashing the city atall.
I love my city, but thementality there Is, it's like a
Dark cloud.
You know what I'm saying.
And I just want somethingdifferent For my kids, just
(11:24):
wanted to expose them to uh, tomore opportunities, and I felt
like I was gonna be able to getthat or do that somewhere else
that's deep, though that's deepwhat you think, mate, because
you I mean you you obviouslymoved later after he did right.
So was it abrupt.
Monte' Corleone (11:44):
Kind of.
But overall I feel like we leftbecause of me and it wasn't
necessarily like my wife waslike, well, you tripping, she
took the opportunity and got ajob because I was just an all
(12:05):
type of bullshit.
So she just was like you know,I can get paid better there.
I'm we finna go.
You know, I'm saying she waslike I got a job, I got accepted
to.
I remember, like it's yesterday, we were sitting on the steps.
She was like I got what?
But you know, I would say Ididn't feel like I was ready
(12:30):
because a nigga was scared,really, you know, scared of
leaving everything behind.
When she moved here and I cameto visit or I ain't come to
visit, I came to bring all thefurniture and all of our stuff,
(12:56):
you know.
So when I left and I saw how mydaughter reacted, nah, I was
like, yeah, fuck that city, I'mgoing, I'm coming.
You know what I'm saying, I'mcoming, you know what I'm saying
.
So, for real, I moved, I moved,we moved Because she wanted to
get away from Everything thatthat had me out in the street
all the time.
She wanted to get away from that, you know, and all the bullshit
(13:20):
in St Louis, you know, like,like bruh said, love the city,
but you just gotta, you gottaget away.
I don't I, for real, in StLouis, you know, like, like
Bruss said, love the city, butit's, you just got to, you got
to get away.
I don't I, for real, believethat anybody can prosper as long
as they get out of theirelement.
You know what I'm saying.
So she decided to get us out ofour element, which got me to
(13:40):
grabbing my trophies.
You know what I'm saying.
So we, we moved because of me,but I made a extra conscious
effort to hurry up and get backhere because of my family,
though that's what's up, though,bro, that's what's up.
Ant (13:56):
It's not nearly I, I think.
I think I moved definitely fornew beginnings.
I think that's what I, that'swhat the original intent was
right New opportunities.
My best friend moved down here.
He was doing well, so I waslike why not?
Yeah, nigga, he was doing goodbro.
I ain't gonna say, was doinggood.
Uniq (14:14):
I think you still are
doing well, but I'm saying like
from perspective I'm talkingabout, though honestly think
about that time period, no.
Ant (14:23):
I mean mentally and
emotionally, nah.
But hey, and that's the deeperconversation.
Right, right, right.
What do we qualify as doing?
All right, you know what I meanBecause, like I said, coming
from where we come from,financials is really what you
think about.
You're like, all right, thenigga got some money in his
pocket.
He doing all right, right,that's all that really matters.
Right, right, that's all thatreally matters.
But then, when you get down tothe skinny of it, you know,
(14:44):
there's layers to it.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
I mean because money matters.
It gives you access to certainthings, but it can't be the
standard pillar.
You know what I'm saying, whatyou got going on, it come with
baggage.
Everything come with baggage.
I think that's.
That's the kind of the thingwith life, right?
What are you willing tosacrifice for the next thing?
(15:04):
What are you willing to putaway for the next thing, which
is what moved me down here?
Because I had a decent job,right, I was set up in corporate
America.
They wanted me to continuemoving forward with their
company, but I saw otheropportunities.
You know what I mean.
I saw the chance to be able tobuild with my boy, to be able to
move to a new state, to getaway from the cold.
Let's talk about that, because,nigga, I hate cold weather, fam.
(15:27):
And nigga, it's like 80 degreesoutside.
It's like 80 degrees outside,bro, and it's like in St Louis
right now.
Somebody check the weather.
What does it feel like there,bro?
It's probably like 40-something.
So for me it's like comfort,you know.
I mean like comfort, newopportunities, and I knew, for
(15:47):
myself at least what, for what Iwas trying to do.
I was a big fish in a littlepond, so I ain't had the amount
of opportunities that I neededto be able to put myself where I
needed to go.
Uniq (15:55):
So, coming, down here, you
know let me spin a block real
quick on what you something thatyou said, yeah, like my thing
was when you came down here is Iknew the position you was in
and the job you had back home inSt Louis, so I didn't want you
to feel like down to yourselfbecause the transition wasn't
(16:16):
happening as smooth as you like.
You know what I'm saying.
So my job for when youtransition is I just want, want
to just be supportive, keepuplifting you.
You know what I'm sayingbecause I know how difficult it
can be, especially with theother things you were dealing
with.
Ant (16:31):
You know I'm saying on top
of that, so that was my job, man
, what I felt in my mind Ineeded to do to help you with
your transition when you camedown here I think that's
important, like even when wetalk about moving family down
here and talk about peoplerelocating, I think there is a
sense of responsibility thatalso needs to be talked about,
because with that, I think youstepping up to the plate, making
(16:53):
sure niggas was fed and niggahad a vehicle to be able to go
to job interviews or pull up atthe gig and stuff, that amount
of support is what's necessaryfor people to succeed and take
that next step.
And like, sometimes we wantpeople to just kind of jump and
like sink or swim, nigga, youknow what I'm saying.
Sink or swim, like you figureit out.
But we forget that it do take alittle bit of support, not
(17:15):
always financially right, it'snot always handing somebody some
money, but it's maybe puttingthem in position right, putting
a notebook in front of them andtelling them to write down their
thoughts on some shit.
Like I'm.
Monte' Corleone (17:24):
You know, I did
come down here without a job
yeah, bro, that's what I'msaying.
Like you, you get down here, Iain't got shit I'm tripping like
but that, but that's, that'swhat I mean.
Ant (17:35):
We came a long fucking way
a long way, bro, and it ain't
even been that long, but it'sbeen less than five years, yeah
but I mean I, I always knew Iwas capable, you know, I always
knew that.
Monte' Corleone (17:48):
So, like my mom
always gave me this, saying
that kept me going to look forjobs, she was like, hey, as long
as you're looking for a job, ajob is looking for you.
Like it's out there, you know.
So I've never stopped lookingfor something.
You know better.
Ant (18:09):
So but I think it, bro, and
I think that's the thing like
so when I, when I talk aboutlike home, for me it's always
bittersweet because I do missthe familiarity of home right,
like knowing where schools is atcertain, you know which fast
food joints to hit and whichones not to hit because this one
trash this one decent right,you know what lights to skip,
you know what back roads connectto other back roads and shit.
(18:30):
It's just little shit aboutnavigating life that I miss
about home.
But I also think, as a youngblack professional, ain't
nothing really there for meunless I go back, and for me I
feel like for a lot of people tosucceed, you got to kind of go
get a taste of something else,broaden your horizon on some
shit, and then you could comeback to the city and do some
shit if you want to do some yeah, but do you think you would go
(18:52):
back?
I think I would.
I was thinking about that shitthe other day.
I'm glad you asked me.
Appreciate you?
So no, but I legitimately,because one of the first big
ideas I ever had growing up wasto open a performing art school.
Right, like, because for me Ididn't take advantage of that
shit growing up and I think itwas because it wasn't marketed
(19:12):
well to me.
It didn't look like it was forlittle black kids, it didn't
like it was for people thatlooked like me and acted like me
.
Right, so I I wasn't trying totake advantage of it.
So what I would want to do isprovide an opportunity for some,
for the kids in the city thatwas like me, that got talent,
that got promise.
But you need somebody to helpput you in position, you need
people to help highlightopportunities for you, and I
think that I would definitely goback to do that right, so I
(19:37):
definitely would.
Would I go back to live?
That's maybe in the summer,maybe I'll go back and have like
a summer crib or some shit, butlike Would you though, bro
Summertime, so you said someshit.
the other day, bro, you got toexperience our hometown as an
adult, with money.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
We was young, struggling.
We wasn't able to experiencethe city like we should have
(19:57):
been able to experience it.
Monte' Corleone (19:59):
So, now that
I've been back a couple times,
you back a couple times, youstill like nah, no, absolutely
not, because there's nothingthere, ain't nothing there, if
you got some money.
Uniq (20:10):
I'm legit trying to wrap
my head around what, regardless
of the money, like what I'mgoing to do.
Monte' Corleone (20:16):
Ain't nothing
to do.
Ant (20:17):
Y'all got to remember, bro.
We've been gone for a hotminute, bro.
They done built soccer stadiums, they bringing the XFL to St
Louis.
It's so much the Jason Tatumjust talking about he putting
like what was it?
A $200 million project andbringing the WNBA.
The city is actually going up.
It's a lot of rest, it's a lotof nightlife.
Uniq (20:34):
It's a lot of stuff that's
building.
So, I look at it.
Ant (20:40):
But for a summer.
I would definitely go there Fora summer bro.
Yeah, st Louis be dope forPockets of time, that's summer
hot.
Uniq (20:46):
You know what I'm saying.
Ant (20:47):
That's summer hot,
depending on where you go.
Monte' Corleone (20:49):
Well, nah, nah.
I was about to say, becausethey've already Proven that the
crime has went down.
We're no, we're no longer thenumber one In crime or murder
rate In St Louis.
So they going down on that, youknow.
Ant (21:04):
But it's also a lot of
politicians they put into office
.
Monte' Corleone (21:07):
It's like and I
can't remember her name, like a
lot of black politicians aswell.
Ant (21:10):
Exactly A lot of black
politicians.
You're absolutely right thatthey put into office and good
and bad.
Right, there's people makingdecisions on both sides, some
people you like, eh Right.
But I feel like the citydefinitely going up.
But I do get what you're saying.
Is it worth it to go backbecause of the success we've
seen here?
No, not necessarily, but Iwould if I was able to go
monopolize that success andbring it to the city.
Monte' Corleone (21:32):
Yeah, for sure
you know what I'm saying so.
Ant (21:34):
I definitely would in that
case.
Monte' Corleone (21:41):
Yeah, because,
honestly see, I don't even want
to give nobody no ideas, but Idon't really care.
I don't really care, I don'treally care if they do this or
not but what?
I'm gonna steal it anyway bro,they gonna steal it either
before or after.

Monte' Corleone (25:22):
You're supposed
to use Day old, two day old
rice.
We know.
Uniq (25:28):
You see what I'm saying.
Monte' Corleone (25:29):
Because the
rice is not.
It's not mushy, but it ain'thard, it's firm.
Ant (25:35):
It's not like crunchy, but
it's firm.
Uniq (25:38):
To put it short, st Louis
eatery needs to do better.
Monte' Corleone (25:42):
Yeah, for sure.
Ant (25:43):

Monte' Corleone (26:34):

Your ass did what you did Toget that.
Uniq (26:47):
I saw a post, they said.
Somebody said they look like aK-Corso Black ass.
I saw a post, they said.
Somebody said that the littlehead look like a Cade Corso.
Monte' Corleone (26:58):
Black ass.
Damn.
Ant (27:00):

like 4 through like 14 or some
shit like this.
I mean 1 through 14.
Some goofy ass shit like that.
I'll be rocking with that shitbecause some of the retros are
coming back out now, but I feellike so this is my opinion,
since we on this shit, I feellike it's not Jordan that people
(27:39):
rock with.
Ant (27:39):
I think they do rock with
him as people who like
basketball.
I think that shit's way biggerthan that.
It's culture tied around thatshit.
Because nigga Fresh Pinch waswearing that shit to HBCU.
We tie that shit to AI, niggayeah bro, we tie that shit to so
many other things, yeah, bro.
So it's bigger than just him.
You know what I'm saying.
I think that symbol became yeahfor the whole culture.
Monte' Corleone (28:00):
But it was him
Because he actually wore those
shoes In the game.
So when he actually put thoseshoes that he was wearing in the
game out, niggas was rockingthem motherfuckers, because he
was throwing 60 up onmotherfuckers in the game bro
man, look, you say 60.
Uniq (28:15):
You remember that came out
.
That was 60 pluses.
Monte' Corleone (28:17):
Yeah, them
shits was terrible.
Ant (28:20):
Them shit was terrible,
going fives.
Monte' Corleone (28:22):
Man, it was
terrible, nigga.
Ant (28:24):
Nah, but bye y'all.
So the thing is right.
I wanted to make sure that wetalked about us more than
anything, because a lot of timeswe get on these podcasts,
niggas be arguing overrelationships.
Be, arguing over fuck shit andI wanted to make sure we talked
about some shit that's relatable.
You know what I'm saying?
I had a motherfucker Nigga eventhe other day.
Y'all know some shit that'shometown.
(28:44):
That fuck with me that I betrying to get other places that
be trash when Toasted ravioli.
Nigga.
I saw some fried ravioli onsomebody's menu the other day.
I was like, ooh, that shitmight be fine Trash, nigga.
It was legitimately.
They just fried the ravioli.
They didn't do anything specialwith it, nigga, they just fried
that bitch.
Uniq (29:03):
I was like nah, hold on,
I'm.
Was it like some fried Boiledchip R&D?
Ant (29:12):
I want you to think about a
boiled R&D, rinse off the sauce
, right, and then just fry thatbitch.
Don't season it, just fry thatbitch.
You tell me no, bro, but that'swhat I'm saying.
You get set up.
I ain't gonna lie.
I rock with Houston.
It's some good food.
Monte' Corleone (29:27):
Rest in peace
to the turkey leg hurt Turkey
leg hurt.
Ant (29:30):
It was some place on
DoorDash I had to show it to you
, I'm just saying it was somelittle.
It might have been one of themfusion spots.
You know they be doing somebullshit, yeah.
What was I talking about,though, nigga?
It was some shit.
Uniq (29:42):
Talking about the food
Food.
Monte' Corleone (29:45):
You said
ravioli.
Uniq (29:52):
Something about the
Something after that, before
that, before after.
Well, fuck it, we can talkabout this right here.
I ain't going to lie.
How do you feel you need toapproach your homie, your
brother, when you need to holdthem accountable?
What do you think the bestmethod?
You know what?
Ant (30:06):
I'm saying to approach them
.
I think it depends on theperson.
I think that.
So it's just like any othersituation, right?
So it's just like kids.
It's just like any othersituation, right?
So it's just like kids.
It's just like a job, right?
If you talking to somebody thatyou are used to spending time
around, you should be familiarwith the way that they receive
information, right?
So is it better to talk to themon the phone?
Is it better to sit them downin person?
Is it better to write that shitdown?
Is it better to like runthrough it and practice that
(30:29):
shit in your head so you don'tsay no dumb shit.
Like you got to figure out thebest way to come to them.
And I'll give y'all an exampleQuinn, you very big on
face-to-face conversations, so Iknow if I need to hold you
accountable, if there's aserious conversation we need to
have, it's got to beface-to-face.
I can't really call you over thephone or try to do no FaceTime
shit.
It's not going to land.
I gotta talk to you when you'resitting right next to me or
(30:50):
right in front of me.
So like I know that, based onJust our history, right, just
the way we've experienced shitwith each other.
So I feel like it's gonnachange based on who that person
is and then what they being heldaccountable on.
You know what I'm saying.
So it's different.
If you like, damn nigga.
You said you supposed to gowork out, go to the fucking gym,
versus.
Hey, bro, you owe me 50 bucks.
You said you was going to payme last week.
(31:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Like it's a differentconversation.
Monte' Corleone (31:15):
Yeah, you
should approach it as being as
honest in yourself as possible.
Don't try to sugarcoat shitbecause that's going to
misconstrue the message.
Because that's going tomisconstrue the message and like
I'm going to break it down asokay, my brother, I feel like I
(31:47):
don't have to filter how I'msaying shit because, at the end
of the day, you still going tobe my brother, so I shouldn't
have to change no type of wayhow I talk or whatever.
Because if you get offendedabout how I'm presenting or
expressing how I feel about thesituation, then that sound like
(32:08):
a you problem, because y'all,because you know me, you know
what I'm saying.
Ant (32:12):
So it's based on
relationship.
Monte' Corleone (32:15):
Because, as a
friend, as a friend, me being
that way might come off realaggressive and he might want to
fight me.
Ant (32:23):
He might want to be like
nigga, who you talking to like
that.
You know what I'm sayingBecause your brother grew up
with you.
Yeah, y'all seen each other gothrough those situations.
Yeah, yeah, y'all seen eachother go through those
situations.
Monte' Corleone (32:33):
Yeah, so
because it's happened before.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know whatI'm saying when my brother was
like damn nigga, you changed.
But I was like nigga, I ain'tnever changed.
You changed.
You know what I'm saying, andthat's what made me have to
project that way.
You know what I'm saying.
Project that way, you know I'msaying so, but for a friend it
(32:55):
is just like you know you.
You don't approach it the sameway now as a spouse, though
that's a good, that's a good youhave to walk on eggshells about
how you approach things,because you don't approach it
like how you would your brotheror your friend, because you got
to keep it more with love.
(33:18):
You know what I'm saying?
Like yeah, you might befrustrated like a motherfucker,
but you're gonna be like goddamn it, hey you just gotta be
soft.
Uniq (33:26):
You know what I'm saying?
Your delivery has to be softer.
Yep, yep, um.
So I guess I answer my ownquestion slash statement.
It's like I feel like you haveto take into account who they
are to you, how you do it andwhere you do it.
(33:48):
Yeah, reason say I say that.
I give, I guess, a little bitof context or example.
Is like, if you're talking toyour best friend, your brother,
you know what I'm saying, I'mnot going to address him in
front of everybody, even if youknow what I'm saying.
Another friend, right, I'mgoing to put him to the side,
you know what I'm saying.
And then also, even if he's infront of his spouse or his girl,
(34:10):
something like that, I'm notgoing to do it in front of her
either.
I don't want to.
You know what I'm saying,because I don't want him To
potentially, as a man, feel likeI'm addressing him in a certain
way In front of his lady.
Now, his manhood might feellike.
He might feel like his manhoodis in question.
You know what I'm saying,because you're doing this in
front of my girl.
Monte' Corleone (34:30):
I feel
disrespected.
Uniq (34:31):
Yeah.
So that's why I feel like ifyou're addressing your brother,
your partner, you know what I'msaying.
You got to take this intoaccount when you're doing that.
And y'all know me, I be tryingto be empathetic the way I
deliver stuff.
I feel like I need to just sayit and also like I need to just
say it, and and also, Like Isaid, you gotta take into
(34:55):
account who you are to thatperson.
They know you, they know howyou deliver things, you know
what I'm saying.
They know it's not no illintent, no malicious intent
Behind you On what you're saying.
Yep, in spite of the delivery.
Ant (35:08):
I don't disagree with that.
I think I think the differenceis Just to bring both of what
y'all said together.
From my perspective, right, Ithink the difference is when you
have family that you grow upwith, you're kind of forced into
those uncomfortableconversations early on, and with
your friend, you end up dodgingit most of the time, right, and
I think that the level that youtry to unlock is on the other
side of that uncomfortableconversation, because with your
(35:36):
brothers, your parents sat y'alldown or put y'all in a t-shirt
together and was like y'allgonna hug until y'all figure it
out.
You know what I'm saying.
You had to go through thatdiscomfort early on, so y'all
got comfortable with thediscomfort.
You know what I'm saying.
I think that with a lot offriendships or adult
relationships, we don't we avoidconflict instead of like
managingage it, if that makessense.
Uniq (35:51):
I feel like there's only
one person In this room that can
really Fully Answer thatquestion, that aspect or
perspective.
Monte, cause you have Bloodbrothers, so how was?
That With your Brothers, yourblood brothers, and conflict
Resolution.
Monte' Corleone (36:12):
So you mean
between me and them.
Ant (36:18):
I mean even them and each
other like the brothers though,
yeah, each other.
Monte' Corleone (36:22):
It really never
really been no challenging
situations with them, becauseI'm like 11 years older than
them and they're like two yearsapart.
And it's odd because my dad islike my little brother, my first
little brother.
My second little brother islike me, he's more of a recluse,
(36:45):
he don't talk that much, hejust be chilling.
But my other brother, I don'tdon't know, he just like my dad.
It's like it's weird.
They I don't know what to callit but like they just be trying
shit you know what I'm sayingjust doing shit unconsciously,
bro.
So but my, my little brotherkind of calmed that down.
(37:09):
But it really wasn't noconflict between me and them or
really between them.
We all close and I was thatbrother who I was in all type of
shit.
So when I got into shit I wouldcall and talk to my pops.
My pops would put them on thephone.
(37:31):
I'd be talking to them fromjail, like you don't never want
to be here, bro, you don't neverwant to do this, you don't
never want to do that.
So my little brother, to thisday, he said bro, I remember
that shit bro.
He said I remember you was onthat phone, you was talking to
me from jail and none of themever been to jail before.
You know what I'm saying.
(37:56):
That's all they needed.
Yep, but I do have a sister now.
My sister saw the type of dudethat I was and she looked up to
it, so the type of shit I wasdoing.
I think she wanted to try itand I think she I think she
started dating people that thatwas similar to how I was bro and
(38:18):
, yeah, that just ain't work out.
Uniq (38:21):
Now she's uh, yeah, now
she's LGBTQ man hey man no
Monte' Corleone (38:31):
not at all, not
at all.
I love my sister.
Bro Like Just stay in your lane, please, and to be honest,
she's the one who Was the key tohaving me be around those type
of people I ain't even gonna saythose type of people, lgbtq
type of people.
You know what I'm saying.
So being around my sister Makesme type of people.
(38:54):
You know what I'm saying.
So being around my sister makesme comfortable with being
around those type of people.
You know what I'm saying, soI'm.
Ant (39:00):
It's about exposure, bro,
and I mean that's the thing
about this whole situation andshout out to the LGBTQIA plus
community.
But when you talk about theexposure to some of those
situations, when you talk aboutsome of those situations, uh,
damn that, it's aboutfamiliarity, nigga, nigga.
(39:22):
First of all.
Uniq (39:22):
I almost stumbled through
that.
I said LGBTQIA+.
Ant (39:26):
Okay, there we go, made it,
I made it through.
Alright, we good, hey.
But hey, hey look, I got somefolks I rocks with.
That's part of the community,you know.
Monte' Corleone (39:37):
Yeah, me too,
but I'm, I'm gonna say For me,
just because I'm okay with it.
I'm not gonna say thatEverybody has to be okay with it
.
You know what I'm saying?
You are who you are, yeah youknow, and I know I know people
that don't run with it.
You know.
Uniq (39:57):
And so I'm not going to
try to change their mind you
know.
Monte' Corleone (39:59):
But what I do,
is y'all not going to say shit
about my sister?
You know what I'm saying.
That's where I'm at with it,you know what I'm saying I'm
like you know, if we was havinga function or something like nah
, ain't no shit, ain't nomotherfucker coming up here, yes
, she is, yes, she is.
(40:20):
If she's here, yes, she is, orI ain't coming, or me, yeah, I
know, I know her though.
Yeah, yeah, I know that.
But I'm saying like if it wassomebody saying that bro, yes,
she is.
Uniq (40:31):
Because it's basically
saying you know, that's the
exception.
Monte' Corleone (40:34):
Yeah and yeah
because you know, if I say that
all my sister here and y'alljust you know it was some
function that they was like nah,she can't come here.
Uniq (40:44):
All right, you know, I'm
not coming.
Monte' Corleone (40:46):
You know, my
wife ain't coming, the kids
ain't coming, ain't no part ofmy house all coming.
Uniq (40:52):
You know what I'm saying?
I found out somebody else weknow dibbling that.
Ant (40:57):
I'm not surprised, bro.
It's a very popular choicenowadays.
Oh, that makes sense to me.
What?
Monte' Corleone (41:07):
noise is that,
oh yeah, wow, that makes sense.
That's crazy, well, no it ain'tAgain.
Ant (41:14):
That makes Complete sense
to me, bro.
Yeah, but that's what I'msaying.
It's like a I don't necessarily.
Nevermind, I ain't looking tobe Like hey bro, everybody,
everybody's Entitled to maketheir own opinions.
You know what I meanPolitically, religiously and
sexually.
Do what you Do what youopinions.
Politically, religiously andsexually.
Do what you feel.
Monte' Corleone (41:35):
What y'all
think about the election.
My God, Big Trump.
Uniq (41:43):
My.
Monte' Corleone (41:43):
God.
Ant (41:44):
We already knew.
That's my thing.
She took over three monthsbefore the election.
Who would have won in thatsituation?
Most of the time, like there's,not many people I know.
So, like even the hope that youhad Is kind of slim.
You know what I'm saying, nahit's not that, bro.
Monte' Corleone (42:04):
The reason why
she lost Is because of one
reason.
Ant (42:11):
Her participation in the
Palestine War.
Uniq (42:14):
One reason only.
Monte' Corleone (42:16):
There are too
many individuals that think a
female cannot run this country.
Ant (42:21):
I mean absolutely.
Monte' Corleone (42:23):
That is what
swayed the election.
There's too many black males,Hispanic males, white males that
believe.
Ant (42:30):
Black men and women
actually were the two highest
percentages that voted for her.
I think black men was at like78%, though that's high as hell
bro, but some I feel you, youknow what I'm saying.
Monte' Corleone (42:40):
And some helped
Trump.
Ant (42:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah I mean,
but there's always a pocket of,
like, black Republicans.
Monte' Corleone (42:46):
You know, it's
always.
Ant (42:47):
But no niggas.
I mean bro, so so look, but noniggas.
I mean bruh, it's a difference.
It's a difference, but, bruh,you gotta remember what you vote
for too, cuz most people in thefirst election, trump was for
the business owners, so itdidn't matter what color you was
.
A lot of business owners waslike yeah nigga, you see the
bread.
Uniq (43:06):
He making sure niggas get
you see the moves he doing now,
though you don't think that'swhat he about now.
Ant (43:10):
I think so.
That's the problem, though it'sa, it's a, it's two business.
Yeah, it's brackets, it's not.
It's not necessarily colors,it's paint, it's what you make.
Uniq (43:19):
It's how much money you
got.
But look, this shit finna startlooking like GTA boy.
Monte' Corleone (43:35):
Look, but I
wasn't able to vote because my
shit was in transition.
I would have voted, but thething is I just hope that bruh
don't be like.
I hope he don't be no asshole.
Still, I hope he actually comeout and be a president, not with
the antics and shit like that.
Ant (43:49):
He already with the antics.
That's what I'm saying.
It's a lot of shit, but, bro,have you heard about all the
shit that's happening?
Kids getting texts from school,bomb threats, telling black
people they finna pick them upand take them to cotton fields?
It's all shit already happeningbecause people feel comfortable
with his leadership and I thinkthat was the thing.
It was never about Trumphimself, it was about the people
that follow him and their levelof comfort with racist shit.
(44:12):
Because of the rhetoric, itdon't always be racist people,
it be trolls saying and doingracist shit To get a reaction
out of people.
Monte' Corleone (44:19):
I ain't tell
y'all about the shit that
happened to me today.
Uniq (44:22):
So mind I tell you, are
you looking at the people who
voted for Trump that are black,as a disgrace or like?
Monte' Corleone (44:30):
No, I was
saying, I was saying that there
were Actual, like, not peoplelike us but Like the niggas.
You know what I'm saying?
Uniq (44:44):
My homeboys, he just said
it like it's an organization.
It is.
Ant (44:50):
The N-I-G-A-S.
It is, it's an N-I-G-A-S, it is, it's an acronym, cause it's
the National.
Now look, now look.
International nigga.
Monte' Corleone (45:03):
I'm a part of
the nigga association.
Ant (45:05):
The nigga association Yo.
Monte' Corleone (45:07):
I'm a part of
the niggas, I'm a nigga, I'm a
nigga.
Nah, I'm just bullshitting, nah, thatitting.
No, I'm just saying it's peoplelike, it's people like us, bro,
like that that voted for trump,you know, I'm saying that that
are on the fence about shit, youknow, um, but I don't think, I
(45:27):
don't think it's a disgrace, bro, because they, they want
something different than whatthey've been given.
Bro, my dad told me a long timeago.
He said man, it's always likethis.
It looked like the Republicansbe fucking shit up, and this was
when Bush was in office.
He said the Republicans alwaysfucking shit up, and then the
(45:48):
Democrats make shit better.
But now it seems like it'sreversed.
It seems like that theDemocratic Party is some
straight bitches.
They soft, so they don't begoing hard for candidates and
shit like this.
The Republican Party be goingin.
Ant (46:09):
But that's what they said,
with a lot of situations,
because a lot of cats whoidentify as Democrat, right.
But there's a lot of theseother bills that are being
passed about what they'reteaching kids in school and the
whole thing about sex changesand stuff, because that's being
pushed by a lot of Democraticparties.
People are like what?
I don't agree with that.
So damn, am I a Republican.
Now I got to vote Republicanbecause I don't agree with that.
(46:32):
So damn, am I a Republican?
Like now, I got to voteRepublican because I don't agree
with the Democrats.
Not that they necessarilyidentify with one side or the
other.
Monte' Corleone (46:37):
But see, what
people don't realize is see they
get caught on words and shit ina campaign that's shit to catch
the LGBTQ community so thatthey can vote for them.
That's why they doing it theynot doing it just because half
of the shit probably ain't goingto get passed anyway.
It's just like with Trump oh,I'm going to get rid of
(47:00):
abortions and blah, blah, blah,blah, blah Made all these
motherfuckers that was actuallyraping motherfuckers and getting
motherfuckers pregnant vote forhim.
But at the same time, when hegot in office, he was like yeah,
we're going to leave that up tothe state.
So people don't really knowwhat their plan is, because it's
a campaign.
Ant (47:22):
There's too many other
branches of government and we've
been on this shit for too long,but I feel like people forget.
They give the president toomuch motherfucking credit.
There's too much other shitgoing on in the world.
You know what I'm saying.
What else are you payingattention to?
type shit so and that'ssomething that's something I
want to talk to y'all about too.
Like, as we get into like,let's say, neighborhoods and
shit right, we talked about likewhen niggas talk about owning
(47:42):
their house that's when you feellike you'll be more a part of
your neighborhood and morewilling to like contribute to
shit right, what you feel likeyou'll contribute, though, like
you feel like you'll be aneighborhood handyman like you
know, I'm saying like fuck wouldyou be, would you?
Would you go around helpingpeople mow their lawns?
and working on cars and someshit like.
But what would you do for yourcommunity what you feel like you
(48:02):
will bring to you?
Monte' Corleone (48:03):
so it like look
, the other day it was real
windy.
I don't know who trash blew allthe way over in my shit and all
that motherfucking street andshit immediately but look, I
would have if, if this was myhome and this was a street that
I gave a fuck about, I wouldhave went, picked that shit up,
(48:25):
because I looked at it for liketwo days and I ain't gonna pick
it up.
I was just sitting outside likedamn, that's just there.
And I walked to the mailbox oneday.
It was like I should pick it up.
I was just sitting outside likedamn, that shit's still there.
And I walked to the mailbox oneday and was like I should pick
(48:46):
that up and I walked past it.
So I would contribute, likethat type of thing.
You know, and I look out forkids and shit like that.
You know what I mean.
I don't know what I would dofor them because I don't
necessarily be wanting to talkto people's kids nowadays.
You know what I'm saying.
Why is that.
Because, bro, like now, if youtalking to somebody's kid, you a
pedophile or something likethat, and it's like I ain't like
(49:06):
for real.
For real, I've been like shit.
I do got a big ass bag of candyin the crib.
Y'all want some candy type shit.
Bro, I've been like shit.
I do got a big ass bag of candyin the crib.
Y'all want some candy type shit.
Ant (49:13):
I was being serious.
You know what I'm saying.
It's from Halloween.
You know what I'm saying Likeshit.
I didn't.
Monte' Corleone (49:19):
I just wanted
to give them some shit.
Y'all want some candy.
Uniq (49:22):
Penny wise.
Monte' Corleone (49:23):
No, like my boy
Georgie.
But hey, I don't want my kidsto eat all this shit.
Y'all want some candy, like youknow, but it's I don't know.
Man, you know, but I'm not, I'mnot mowing no grass for nobody
for free.
No, that's not happening.
And and I and it's the thing, Ican't do stuff like that
(49:47):
because you can't be, no, youcan't be no handyman nowadays.
Motherfucking lady sitting therewith a motherfucking skirt on
under her robe and shit you knowwhat I'm saying with no top on
Talking about yeah, screw thatin for me, baby.
Ant (50:04):
No, no, sir, it's getting
kinky nowadays.
Y'all see the video on socialmedia with that old lady eating
the fruit from the chef.
The chef was sitting there.
Like y'all know these littlekinky nowadays.
Y'all see the video on socialmedia with that old lady eating
the fruit from the chef.
The chef was sitting there.
Like y'all know these littlekinky chefs and they be dripping
honey on their ass and shitwith grapes and shit.
Y'all ain't never seen thisshit.
Nah, I seen.
Like I'm the creep, all right.
Well, yeah, it sounds like workof these little parties.
(50:28):
They be doing these like ladiesnights and ladies parties and
shit.
Right, and bro, it had this oldlady doing some just nasty
stuff.
Bro, cass was like bro, whathappened to the grandmas that
used to be in the kitchen,barely left the house making
food, why she out here gettingsex grapes from the chef?
Bro, what's happening?
Monte' Corleone (50:50):
Because they
glamors now.
Uniq (50:52):
That's something like my
type of niche.
Monte' Corleone (50:54):
Nah, you go
right ahead brother, nah, I'm
flicked.
Oh yeah, you done, done, nah.
So I guess what I want to do.
Y'all already know what I do.
Uniq (51:04):
So I'm doing it now.
I'm literally editing thepictures as we speak.
Neighborhood barber.
Monte' Corleone (51:15):
You know, like,
like I just want to, I mean,
but you're in that setting, yeahtoo, so you're able to do that,
and that's, that's good evendudes in the neighborhood.
Uniq (51:20):
Like I'm saying, it's a
guy that stays, uh, right across
the street from me, I pay himto cut my grass.
Um, you know I'm saying Ioverpay him and, um, just trying
to give him a hustle.
You know I'm saying I overpayhim and Just trying to give him
A hustle.
You know what I'm saying?
I seen him Cutting somebodyelse grass, so I pulled up on
him Like hey, you cut grass.
And he was like, yes, sir, youknow what I'm saying.
(51:42):
He was like and that made mefeel, oh boy, like that made me
feel.
That made me feel, hello, yes,sir.
Monte' Corleone (51:48):
Now what I
would do.
Um, when I get my cleaningcompany off the ground, I would
offer um, like extra cheapcleaning services for people,
like once or twice a week orsome shit like that.
You know, not twice a week, Isaid once or twice a week, shit
once or twice like every twoweeks or a month or something
(52:11):
like that.
Yeah, that'd be cool Becauseyou know people.
Hey, damn, but that'd be crazy.
I don't want to send my peoplein other people's houses and
shit to be cleaning.
Ant (52:24):
But that's the thing, bro.
I feel like it involves acertain amount of risk.
You just got to have certainshit set up right, like there
should be check-ins.
There should be certain amountof risk.
You just got to have certainshit set up right, like there
should be check-ins.
There should be certain stuffgoing on Because, like, if a
motherfucker don't, like if thecleaning was supposed to happen
at 5 o'clock, the motherfuckerain't checked in by 5.45, I
would send the police over there, like you know what I'm saying.
Like immediately.
Monte' Corleone (52:44):
No, I ain't
talking about nothing like that.
Ant (52:48):
Man, I think Filthy ass,
ass, Bro, that shit needs to.
That shit is almost like Idon't know.
I like seeing that shit, but Idon't.
Monte' Corleone (52:55):
Yeah, like when
my mom be cleaning up the shits
and shit, Like some hoardershit.
Ant (52:59):
Yeah, Like that shit be
like oh, bitch, it's a cockroach
and then, but it be exciting.
Then you see the bitch cleanthe shit up.
After the fact you be like allright, all right.
That shit look cool, I fuckwith it so.
Monte' Corleone (53:14):
so what's
something about y'all that you
just don't like?
Like, what's your pet peeve?
Uniq (53:25):
About myself.
Ant (53:27):
Anything.
I got a laundry list of shit.
Yeah, this nigga Go ahead, boyGo ahead, give me three, because
you do.
I got a motherfucking laundrylist.
But I also where I'm at withthis shit.
Right, I don't like a lot ofshit because of the environments
I've been a part of, so like Ican't remember which one of
(53:47):
these niggas I was telling thisshit to last night.
But, like with my motherfuckingwife, my wife grew up around
kids.
She's been around kids herwhole life.
Her siblings got kids and shit.
She's always been an auntie.
She worked at a motherfuckingdaycare before, but since she's
been with me we don't be aroundkids as often.
She got three years of quietenvironment.
You know what I'm saying.
(54:08):
Now, when she around loud kidsagain, it's like damn, this is
some shit I got to get used to,because I'm like damn, I'm not
used to being around this shitno more.
And I feel like that's kind ofhow I am, like I didn't got into
certain situations, like Idon't fuck with loud noises, but
I feel like it's because I grewup in a situation where it was
always around some loud shit.
So now I didn't deal with loudass, motherfucking, abrupt
(54:29):
noises, that shit.
Fuck me up, man.
That might be because I'm oldtoo, nigga old.
Uniq (54:40):
Nigga get scared out of
his sleep.
What you still know there,Monte.
Monte' Corleone (54:47):
Man Just
thinking of some shit that I
just don't like.
Like.
For me it's paying attentiondog, like lately Just got in a
fucking accident Cause a niggawasn't paying attention.
Be yelling at my kids Causethey ain't paying attention.
(55:08):
You talking to my wife and sheain't paying attention.
Like god damn Ain't nobodypaying attention.
Uniq (55:16):
You're talking to my wife
and she ain't paying attention
Like goddamn.
Monte' Corleone (55:19):
Ain't nobody
paying attention?
Nobody, nobody, but you.
Huh.
Bruh like I'm head on a swivel.
Ain't nobody doing this?
I guess not.
They looking straight tunnelvision.
I don't see nothing else.
That's one of my pet peeves,bruh, like I hate when people
ain't paying attention.
Uniq (55:33):
Dog Like I feel like me
and your pet peeves is one and
the same pretty much is.
You know, mine is payingattention to detail, but what I
was getting ready to say is Ihate repeating myself after I've
given clear instruction Forreal, like I had a.
(55:54):
This is some barber shit.
So I had a client yesterday.
Long story short.
I clearly told her to book anyslot and I'll change it to 2 pm.
She texts back, says I don'tsee any slots until next week.
(56:17):
Ma'am.
I said book any slot, doesn'tmatter what day, any slot, and I
would change it to 2 pm.
It was clear.
I didn't say it over the phone,you read it Like.
So that irritated me On top ofthe things that she did.
Well, that's my thing.
If I feel like I've given youclear instruction and you still
can't comprehend it, that's asomething that's a pet peeve
(56:39):
that I don't like, bro yeah, Ido that at work.
Monte' Corleone (56:43):
I created a, a
standard operating procedure,
sop, and they didn't follow it.
They did not follow it.
How you get it wrong?
It say it right.
Did you read it?
No, okay, that's yeah.
Uniq (56:59):
Man, look, let me ask this
real quick.
We can probably this probablyshifted a little bit and we can
probably end it off this.
Y'all both kind of told me thisas far as dating and
relationships and what youlooked for, at what point you
said you didn't go off, looksfor it.
(57:19):
Right, that wasn't like the topthing you were looking for
anymore.
Right, all right.
But if you feel like this, haveyou ever felt when you were
with a woman, even though that'swhat you wasn't looking for,
you didn't feel the physicalattraction.
Monte' Corleone (57:33):
No, yes, but it
depends on who it was but
that's what I'm saying.
Uniq (57:42):
If that's not what you're
looking for, but you're not
feeling the physical attraction,are you going to stay in and
just keep going?
Hell?
Monte' Corleone (57:49):
nah.
So on that journey to findsomeone, I dated a lot.
But some people I dated, I meanI ain't going to count.
I dated this one chick, youknow her teeth was all over the
(58:13):
place.
I just couldn't get with it,bro.
I couldn't get with it, hey,and she was real, look, she was
real top heavy, but that was itI'm talking about straight down.
Oh no, I couldn't get with itbro.
Uniq (58:29):
No.
Monte' Corleone (58:30):
But she was so
nice, bro, she was cool, had a
nice personality.
I just couldn't get with it.
I couldn't get with it, bro,like I wanted what I wanted.
You know what I mean, and I'msorry for all you Pretty fine
chicks out there.
Y'all need to fix your attitude, like that's what I used to go
for, but I used to go for Modeltype.
(58:53):
I wanna be a model type, youknow what I'm saying.
So I wanna be a baddie, butthat's what I'm saying.
So I want to be a baddie, butthat's what I'm saying, though.
City girl type shit.
Uniq (59:01):
But look, that's what I'm
saying, though, like that's just
not what you're going for,right, yeah, but yet you were
still attracted to her.
Yeah, you were still physicallyattracted to her somewhat,
right, yeah.
So, but I'm saying, if youdon't feel that any like, you
don't even feel that physicalattraction, even though she
isn't what you necessarily gofor, right, already, right, and
(59:25):
you give it a chance, but thephysical attraction isn't there.
Ant (59:29):
Nah, because I feel like
this is how I really feel you
have to gauge your emotionalstate, because there are a lot
of people who learn to lovesomebody's physical stature.
I don't know how long thattakes.
That might be a while, but what?
I'm saying is I hear a lot ofespecially older folks say that
you lose your looks.
Think about all the situationswith people who are ex-military
(59:51):
or firefighters and shit, wherethey get injured or fucked up,
their face get mangled and shitthey wise.
Stay with them forever, bro,because it don't be about how
they look.
It be about what they bring tothe table.
Uniq (01:00:02):
But they already locked in
.
That's what I'm saying.
I mean yeah.
Ant (01:00:05):
True, true, true true.
I'm with you, but I'm justsaying you can learn to love
somebody without that type ofattraction.
Monte' Corleone (01:00:10):
But I feel like
learning to love somebody is
dangerous, it's dangerous.
It's dangerous, what you mean?
It's dangerous because, how Ilook at things, it's just like
school, right?
I was going to schoolconsistently, and then I went to
(01:00:30):
college.
I was right there, I was onpoint with everything that was
going on, that shit.
I forgot all about fundamentalsand all of that shit, right?
So I feel like as soon as youcan learn how to love somebody,
you can forget how to love theirass too, because I don't feel
like that shit was real, youknow, because you're learning it
, I agree.
Ant (01:00:51):
So I think that's the thing
that we have to miss me
personally.
Right, that's what I believeabout love.
There are two separate veins oflove.
Right, that's what I believeabout love.
There are two separate veins oflove.
There's being in love which isuncontrollable, and then there
is love which is an action word,which is a choice, a daily
choice to get up and lovesomebody, because that's
sacrifice that comes with whenyou pissed off at them, going to
talk to them anyway, that'swhen you want to pull away, but
(01:01:11):
instead pulling closer.
You know what I'm saying.
Like that's where I feel likelearning to love somebody is
because if they am my worthiness, I say anybody who got
everything, and that's the onlything they don't have is the
physical attraction.
That's somebody that's worthlearning to love, because they
have everything you need them tohave, with the exception of
(01:01:32):
your perception, which changes.
Your view changes when I'mgrowing up.
You might like like I wasattracted to white girls in
elementary school.
Not today, though.
Monte' Corleone (01:01:42):
Yeah, but I
disagree with that.
I disagree with that becauselearning to love, all right.
So you said there's two veins.
The one that's uncontrollableis what you're explaining
Falling in love no, in love isuncont.
In love no, in love isuncontrollable, right?
So that's what you'redescribing right now.
(01:02:05):
All of these, all of thosefeelings of when you're in love
with somebody, that's when youactually go and talk to them,
when you're learning to lovesomebody, you learning that shit
.
You ain't.
You ain't finna go talk to them, cause that ain't who you are.
You, you learning that shit.
You ain't finna go talk to them, because that ain't who you are
.
You see what I'm saying?
You learning them and theylearning you.
Uniq (01:02:22):
I get what you're saying.
You see what I'm saying.
I heard you saying that's kindof how I feel, dude, same as
they way.
Yeah, you learning the person,but I get what you was trying to
say, though.
Monte' Corleone (01:02:30):
I get it but
what you're explaining is
somebody who's in love.
Is somebody who's in love?
Because if I'm learning to lovesomebody, I might be like man
fuck that shit.
I don't know what the hell youon.
Like I don't know what you on.
I'm not necessarily like,that's just me.
I'm not necessarily going to gotalk and do that because you're
(01:02:52):
probably learning to lovesomebody young because when you
fall, in love with somebody.
Ant (01:02:56):
I feel like you're applying
your own filters to that
situation, which is why I leftit broad, because I get what
you're saying.
So when I say learning to lovesomebody, I'm not saying the
sentence learning to love.
Stop, you know how to love.
I said you're learning how tolove that person.
Like as far as like youapplying all the things that you
know about love to thisindividual person over here,
because you're not, you're notattracted to their physicality.
(01:03:19):
So now you gotta takeeverything you know about love
and make sure you're applying itthere.
Monte' Corleone (01:03:23):
But no, if
you're learning to love, that
mean you're settling.
If you're learning to love,that mean you chose that person
and you like I'm not gonna letthem low because let them go,
because I like this about them.
That might be their looks, thatmight be there, but that's what
I'm saying.
Ant (01:03:39):
You don't feel like that
might be a bit vain?
That's dangerous, I agree, butloving is dangerous in general.
No, it ain't if you fall in ifyou fall in love if you fall in
love with somebody and they fall, I'm like, I'm like, hey, if
you fall in love.
Monte' Corleone (01:03:54):
If you fall in
love with somebody and they fall
in love with you, and it's true, bro, that shit ain't, that
shit is unbreakable if they sayit was true, though it's a lot
of people that fall in and outof love with people.
Ant (01:04:03):
That's not true.
That's how you learn who istrue.
That means you gotta get amarker.
Monte' Corleone (01:04:07):
That means no,
that means that one person was
in love and one person is tryingto learn how to love their ass.
That's what that means, becausewhen you fall in love and that
person falls in love with you.
That shit is unbreakable, bro Idon't agree with that.
Ant (01:04:20):
I think that people fall in
and out of love because it's
it's circumstantial, it's basedon where you are in life.
I fall in love with thesethings.
I fall in love with your hair,your smile, your eyes.
I fell in love with the waythat you talk to me.
I fell in love with thesethings that are that are going
to change.
These things are going to geteight.
They're going to age.
They're going to change.
These things are going to age.
They're going to go in and out.
You're going to lose yourmotherfucking teeth.
You might get some fake onesnext.
(01:04:41):
I got to learn to lovedifferent parts of you.
That shit is going to evolve.
So the in love part is shifty.
That's why I said it'suncontrollable, that shit.
One day you could wake up andbe like damn.
I don't feel the way I felt 10,15 motherfucking years ago.
Monte' Corleone (01:04:54):
That's learning
.
That's that learning part.
Ant (01:04:58):
But that's what I'm okay,
that's what I'm saying, though,
but that was worth it to gothrough it.
That was worth it for them.
Monte' Corleone (01:05:01):
That's what I'm
saying, but when you fall in
love with somebody and they loveyou.
This nigga.
If y'all falling in love witheach other, bro.
Y'all going to grow with eachother and learn to love each
other.
Y'all got this pact that y'alllike Ain't no falling in and
(01:05:21):
falling out of love.
Bro, if you in love, that shitdon't happen, bro.
I'm a living proof of it.
Ant (01:05:23):
I'm not saying that you
fall in and out of love.
I'm saying that people Ingeneral fall in and out of love,
then that's not love, bro.
I don't agree with that.
Love comes in different flavors.
That's what I'm saying to you,because your definition of love
is one thing, based on whatyou've experienced, and what
you're exposed to other peoplehave different versions look, I
just got a question because I'mnot.
Uniq (01:05:41):
I'm not judging what you
just said, right, because you
said you live in proof of that.
So do you feel the situationthat I had prior, the situation
that I had prior?
Yeah I didn't love that person.
Is it where we're?
Monte' Corleone (01:05:55):
at no.
However, you were in asituation where you were in love
, you married someone and youleft.
The person that you came backto was not the person that you
left from.
That's my interpretation, okay.
(01:06:15):
So I feel like, yes, the personin your mind that you left from
you were in love with thisperson.
That was when you came back,wasn't listening, wasn't doing
shit.
You was like, oh no, this ain'tthe same person, so you didn't
love that.
And that was my interpretation,okay.
Uniq (01:06:32):
I just wanted to hear that
, yeah but look, look,
regardless of everything y'alljust said about the love and all
that shit, right?
Monte' Corleone (01:06:41):
What do you
feel?
Uniq (01:06:43):
I'm trying to go back to
kind of what Ed said.
Man, damn that If I'm notphysically attracted to her, bro
, man, let's get down to themeat and potatoes.
Man, I can't physically be withher, y'all I can't.
It's not gonna get silent.
You hear me like I can't, Ican't, I can't do my work.
Monte' Corleone (01:07:06):
Yeah.
Uniq (01:07:08):
You have to be so
regardless of everything else
you got.
Ant (01:07:11):
So how much weight does
that hold?
But I think that's, that's whatI was trying to explain.
Uniq (01:07:17):
That's based on you, the
reason why I you, because I'm
only bringing this up, becausethat's where I'm at now so, but
that's that's what I'm saying.
Ant (01:07:26):
It's based on what your
level of attraction to shit is.
If mike is really attracted topeople's physicality in general,
that's what the fuck mike isattracted to.
If he likes the way peoplesound, if he likes the way they
talk, if he likes sense of humor, that's what he's attracted to.
If he likes the way peoplesound, if he likes the way they
talk, if he likes sense of humor, that's what he's attracted to.
If he likes fat asses, doesn'tmatter what her face look like.
Her ass is nice.
That's certain people areattracted to very specific
(01:07:46):
things.
So if you don't have a level ofattraction to her, that's
different.
Monte' Corleone (01:07:50):
You're not
being attracted to her
appearance specifically is adifferent conversation but see
what I'm for me, I just changedthe style of woman.
It was the woman that wasalways shopping at BB and had to
(01:08:10):
get her hair done and felt likeshe had to go out every weekend
and be seen, versus my wife,who is okay with shopping at the
thrift store you know what I'msaying.
But she's that much beautiful.
You know what I'm saying?
She it's not.
She don't have to glamorizeherself.
Ant (01:08:27):
She ain't gotta spend a
thousand dollars exactly you
know what I'm saying.
Monte' Corleone (01:08:30):
And then, on
top of that, the attitude was
there, great attitude, and shegot a head on her shoulders and
she had a kid before, before.
Before you know, I'm saying shehad a son before, um, before I
met her, but at the same timeshe wouldn't let me meet her son
until it was time for me tomeet him yes and I was like but
(01:08:52):
that's what I'm saying.
Ant (01:08:53):
She don't listen because on
paper that's what I'm saying,
bro, On paper she different.
Monte' Corleone (01:09:00):
She don't
listen to me.
Hell, nah, but when you?
Yeah, if I laid down two piecesof paper and I put what I
thought about, because I was aAlicia Keys ass nigga, I was
Alicia.
Keys, light skin.
Oh man, she bad, but I'mtalking about every which way I
turn.
They got a badass attitude.
(01:09:21):
I want this, I want that.
Want a nigga to work extra hardto please you Like hell, no, we
, not finna, do that.
I'm trying to do this shit forus, not you.
You know what I'm saying.
So that's where I got it, man.
Like I got to a point where, ifyou put that list that were
back in the day I was lookingfor somebody to settle down with
(01:09:43):
, no, not before Somebody to bewith.
It was a list of bullshit.
And when I actually went tostart looking for a wife, that
list got small.
That list got real small.
You ain't necessarily had tolike, actually, that
motherfucking list over here.
(01:10:03):
That motherfucker probablywould have waved some
motherfucking, some eyelashes.
Girl got to have some nails,bro.
On this list ain't none of thatshit on that motherfucker.
Uniq (01:10:15):
You do not have to even
have a bit of makeup on that
motherfucker at all.
All right, look, I think whatyou.
It's funny that you said learnto love somebody.
You said learn to love somebodycan be dangerous.
Mm-hmm, I'm going to tell youwhere my head at, because I
brought up the question because,like I said, this is something
I'm experiencing or I'veexperienced.
Y'all know one of the womenI've brought up that I've dated.
(01:10:39):
Y'all know that.
You know what I'm saying.
Y'all know one of the womenI've brought up that I've dated.
Y'all know that.
You know what I'm saying.
Y'all know what's going on,right, yeah, so y'all seen what
this person has looked like inthis method, in this method,
this way, in this way.
But what I'm saying now is I'veshown y'all Like I, you know
this is yeah, man, you know whatI'm saying.
(01:11:01):
I can do this blah, blah, blah,but Been around this person A
little more.
I'm not feeling that dog, yeah.
I mean Despite, and like I, Ibrought up the other traits this
person has Going for them.
You know what I'm saying, butI'm just not feeling it though
so I did that.
Ant (01:11:21):
I don't know if you
remember uh somebody I was
dating before I met my wife, butsomebody back in, uh, back home
, you know I'm saying they'recoming down here to visit and
whatnot.
It was the same type ofsituation.
Like we was good uh okay, wetalked about it.
Uh, well it was, it was goodwhen we was.
We was like chopping it up whenwe was remote, then kind of
business.
Monte' Corleone (01:11:43):
This ain't what
I thought it was.
Ant (01:11:46):
I had to dead it off.
After that I get where you at.
I just don't want to paint thepicture that everybody shouldn't
necessarily move on Everybodyain't got it.
You're going to find goodpeople everywhere.
Good, everybody ain't got it,everybody ain't got it.
Like you're going to find goodpeople everywhere, bro.
Good people ain't just swimmingout here.
You know what I'm saying, but Ijust so.
Monte' Corleone (01:12:05):
I guess my
message would be to not settle.
You see what I'm saying.
Ant (01:12:14):
It's got to be worth it.
That's why I said it's got tobe worth it to get to know them,
because they have all of theseother traits.
Physicality, to me, is not thesame thing.
Monte' Corleone (01:12:22):
So think about
my situation right, like I told
y'all, All right, give me youradvice, Dr Fields.
No, but I'm saying all right,cool.
So you said it's got to beworth it to settle.
Ant (01:12:32):
I didn't say it's got to be
worth it to settle.
I said it's got to be worth itfor you to look past any like.
If you're not attracted to themphysically, is it not worth it
to wait?
It's worth it for you toreassess what is causing you to
be attracted to people in thefirst place, because if you're
somebody who says you want to bewith somebody long term and the
thing that's holding you backis the physicality, I think that
(01:12:53):
you should reassess what'sgoing on in your head and what's
going on with your brain.
So that's what I'm saying.
I'm not saying if you seesomebody who you know from jump
is dog shit ugly.
Monte' Corleone (01:13:06):
So, if you like
, no, I'm just because they are
nice person.
No, I don't agree with that.
No, this is.
This is not about multipletraits this ain't about multiple
traits it's about attractionbut that's what I'm saying.
Ant (01:13:14):
If it's about attraction,
then it's a different
conversation so, but so I guessthis is what I'm breaking it
down to, right, and I wascomparing it more to my
situation when you are talkingto somebody, uh, on social media
or via the phone or anysituation where you're not
around them, you don't smellthem, you're not looking at
their body and their facialreactions.
Yeah, exactly so you thoughtyou I'm gonna say fall in love,
(01:13:36):
right, but you start to likeother shit, you start to get
attracted to other things theway that, that they answer
questions, the way that theythink right, shit like that they
sense of humor.
So if you are attracted to thatperson in that realm and you
love everything about them inthat realm and the only thing
that's holding you back is them,they kind of ugly, right, like
I think that that's worthexploring.
Exploring because is it you andyour motherfucking standards
(01:13:59):
that's too high, or are you likeno, I'll legitimate it, it
wouldn't work.
Monte' Corleone (01:14:03):
You know what
I'm saying?
That's two different things.
We in the same situation,because I did the same thing.
I was looking at a picture.
I didn't see her, bro.
I was literally listening toher and everything that she was
telling me I was attracted to.
Yes, the picture was beautiful.
Yes, cool, you know what I'msaying?
That just made it that muchbetter when I actually met her,
(01:14:25):
you know.
So I'm good with that.
But my thing is, I didn't learnto love her.
I don't.
I don't feel like I learned tolove her.
Ant (01:14:36):
I feel like I feel like we
learned to get to know each
other and we fell in love.
That's how I feel.
I mean and I'm not going toever invalidate your feelings
right, my stuff is coming frombecause I went to school for
psychology, even if it was onlyfor a semester and no, but for
(01:14:58):
real, when we talk about thisinformation, I'm going off of,
like I'm going off doctors andshit nah, for real, I'm going
off doctors and shit.
I'm talking about like whatpeople really feel like, about
falling in and out of love, whatthe course of love is like like
when you talk about like lovingsomebody is a choice and I'm
specifically talking about longterm relationships or marriage
right, when you talk aboutcommitting your life.
That's why I said it depends onwhat you're going for.
(01:15:19):
If you're just fucking around,you just need a somebody to kick
you with you and you just wantsome acuity on your arm.
You're gonna.
You're gonna have a differentset of standards than if you're
talking about somebody who'sgonna help you take care of your
kids, somebody who's gonna be awife and a helpmate for you
later on, a good business partof somebody you can trust with
your bridge see, that's adifferent situation you know
what I'm saying, but that's whatI'm saying like I feel like it
(01:15:39):
depend on which.
Because we grown, bro, all of usover 30, so like we, we looking
for different shit in arelationship.
But if it's a 22 year oldlistening to this, no hell, no
nigga.
If she ugly, go get you a cutielike you know what I'm saying
go, do, go, do what you need todo.
But as a grown-ass person, ifyou got certain shit that you
need met and you turn on some,yeah, they do everything for me,
but I don't like the back oftheir earlobes, like get your
(01:16:00):
shit together like you know whatI'm saying like that.
That don't make sense to me yeah, but it can go.
Monte' Corleone (01:16:06):
It can go every
which way, though surgery, get
some health insurance.
God damn it it can go everywhich way, because how I?
Was thinking how I was thinkingis the person who is also ugly.
They can't find nobody, butjust going to settle for
somebody that's going to befucking them over or something
(01:16:26):
like that?
No, and I think that's learningto love.
Ant (01:16:29):
It's comparative, yeah,
okay.
So check this out, bro, and Iwant to know what your wife's
perspective is, because therewere things about you that had
to change to be able to put youin a position for you to be able
to be successful.
What if, for her, she had tolearn to love those parts so
that she could eventually seethe person that you are now?
What if that was hervocalization?
Monte' Corleone (01:16:50):
you know what
I'm saying?
I'm just asking.
I can tell you exactly whathappened yeah, bro, we went to a
therapist, mm-hmm.
We sat down with the therapistand the therapist kind of told
her, like that's a you problem.
Mm-hmm, that's what changedeverything, bruh, because like
you can't change me, you fell inlove with me.
(01:17:12):
Why are you trying to changecertain things about me?
Ant (01:17:16):
You know I love this, but
you're saying she had to learn.
Monte' Corleone (01:17:22):
No, but that's
the thing she had to learn to
love those things, but shedidn't.
Ant (01:17:26):
What's the process?
She had to learn.
She didn't learn to love withit.
Monte' Corleone (01:17:30):
She ain't learn
to love it.
She dealt with it.
She just was like fuck itBecause I love him.
I'm not finna deal with that.
I ain't finna even trip off ofthat.
Uniq (01:17:39):
Cause, that's what the
third.
Monte' Corleone (01:17:40):
Okay, yeah,
damn, I ain't even really trip
off that that's my husband.
Uniq (01:17:43):
I love him, you know.
But look, you're saying youneed to learn to love.
But, monte, you're saying youneed to do it in spite of.
Ant (01:17:52):
I think that both things
are true.
I just also think that learningis a part of it.
Uniq (01:17:58):
It's different.
You have to learn that thoughyou know what I'm saying.
My sister had to love him.
In spite of deal with it,you're saying no, you need to
adapt and learn that person andbecome a couple.
Ant (01:18:11):
That's how we don't become
our grandparents.
I feel like our grandparentstolerated shit and then got
bitter over shit and thenstressed, and then that's where
it turned into the relationshipsthat we saw, where grandpa
really had like four fuckingfamilies because he was moving
around and doing shit andgrandma just tolerated the shit.
What I'm saying is we have tolearn to convert holistically,
like I, this is what the fucklife is.
(01:18:33):
I need to learn to understandthis is what this is, and I and
I have to be okay with what thisis.
So and like we're getting realdeep.
But with this was talking aboutsomebody's face or you know,
being attracted to them, right?
So I'm talking about that ingeneral.
It's different than somebodywhooping your ass, right.
It's different than somebodyverbally or emotionally abusing
you and shit like that.
Like I ain't talking about allof those things.
(01:18:53):
I'm talking about, damn,without makeup.
They really ain't doing it forme.
Like, yeah, I would just saysearch yourself, because what
are you really looking for?
Because if you not, if yourdick is really the primary
driver, then let that be thedriver and and don't even worry
about being getting a lifepartner right now.
Yeah, you know what I'm sayinglike that I wouldn't worry about
that, but if all the otherthings are what's keeping you
(01:19:15):
there, then do that yeah, butthat's going to have to be a
part two thing, because mostpeople just don't know their
love language.
Hey, and you know what?
And speaking of that, that'ssomething that I feel like we
should definitely dive into, buton the next episode of Trinches
