It's like it's like asking somebody if they have a
STD Nobody wants to. It's an uncomfortable conversation and most
of the time you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I like the hard question.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You You're just gonna say, fuck it, roll the dice
and don't say looks. Listen, guys, y'all, don't say because
condom rates have gone down drastically, like it's almost non existent,
non existent, right, yeah, I mean we have the stats.
They give the number. They gave us the numbers. They
(01:30):
gave us the numbers. So put on condoms heavy heavy,
put some boy on the late tech, the late texts,
late text and shambles, y'all thought those going fell apart.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Boy, I ain't seen a dream with a condom, and
it's wild in fifteen years for real, that is a
puls But I would I would see it when you
wash there.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You go with your like, I ain't see a dude
with a condom. I was hoping you to say, on no,
that would have been what we're doing show Blackout has
been discontinued.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
That would that would have been this season.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It ain't been, Yo.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I was hoping. I'm like, yo, Nah, he.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Ain't gonna go there, he ain't gonna go there. In
the while that you tried to clean it, you tried
to clean it real quick.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Damn. I've been in a free ghost though, damn. Oh man.
But no.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So bringing up the breaking up the conversation of a
pre nup. Right, it's a very because everybody says like,
you know, yeah, I want a prenup.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I don't want to prenup.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Very few people have prenups, which means that you're not
even thinking about the conversation. You're not going through it
because some people will say like it takes the love
out of it, right, like if we madly love and
it's like, hey, look we need to have this conversation.
I need you to sign this contract. You know this
is you know my lawyer. You know, look over it.
See you comfortable with this?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
All the tough conversations you got to have in the beginning. Though.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
For sure, I may postmine too early, but I get
to them conversations quick. Hey if we get get the
marriage pretting up, this is what I need from you.
If I don't get it, these are the options. If
we argue more than these amount of times, you gotta go.
These are we gotta have boundaries. If you argue how
many more? What's the what's the limit?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Man?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
I normally say five, but I've been shortening that down three. Yeah,
like three strikesing you out? What does that argue about?
I'm with you, I don't I don't believe arguments. Oh
my god, see on the same page. Like if I'm
being good, you're being good, were loving each other? What
is it we have a discussion, Hey, tell me a ian,
I don't like when you know that girl was fighting
(03:50):
with you and investmentst and you didn't clean it up.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Okay, cool, I fix it will happen again.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
But an argument or like public embarrassment or like clout baby.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Out, baby gotta go.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So I think for me, but.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
You gotta have a conversation up front and be like, Hey.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
For sure, for me, it's not so much of like
I don't necessarily I won't say like I say, like y'all,
if I get married, I want a prenump and this
is what I expect, I'll ask them, like, and what's
your views on prenum? So I'm ask you, so if
you get married, you're getting the prenup was a mandatory
at this point in my life, of course. I mean
I've worked my whole entire life to get here, right
to get here, so I know, of course, But like
(04:27):
I said, I bring it like, I'll ask a question,
how do you feel about pronum?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Your your response.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Will tell you tell me what I need to know,
because sometimes you could you could tell somebody like, hey,
I want to get a prenum if I get back,
and they'll go along with it, just because now you've
already told them what you want, right, so now they thinking, okay,
let me just say whatever I gotta say.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And Stephen Jackson move by what he went through. Steven Jackson,
what do you do?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Remember he was about to get married to the girl.
She said he wanted a prenup. She went up until
the day of the weather.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, for sure. So that's my things.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So I'm gonna ask you how you feel about it.
And I feel like, you know, if you say something
to the effect of like, no prenump is terrible, I'm
not doing a prenum. Okay, that lets me know you
know where you stand. But if you say something that
I feel a little bit more reasonable as far as like, yeah,
I think that you know, both people should be protected.
You know, why should anybody be entitled to something that
(05:21):
you haven't contributed to. Then that lets you know you're
a rational person and you're.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Not just in it. Should that be a finesse to or.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's not a finesse if you when you sign a paperwork.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
There's no exception to that rule.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Like what if you met someone who maybe had more
than what you still force the prenup or no.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I just think that for me, the prenump is not
necessarily so much of just money. It's like it's basic
principles and it's things that I've worked for. So pre
nump could be like they could take part of your company,
your company could be not be worth anything, but it's like,
it's still my company. It means something, baby, you know
what I'm saying. It might not mean anything to you,
(05:59):
but it means something to me. I might have an
old school car that that was just my dream to
get a Corvette, a fifty seven Corvette. That might not
mean nothing to you, but out of spite and the divorce,
you might take it right exactly. So it's like, nah,
like this is something that means something to me, a
card collection or whatever. Like you know, I have a
(06:20):
house in West Virginia that my grandmother left to me
and I never even go there, but that means something
to me. I want to just protect that, like you
know what I'm saying. So I feel like, now if
we start from the bottom together and we never had nothing,
and you helped me get to where I am. Of course,
like you know what I'm saying, Like we're business partners
at that point in time, Like you've helped me, I
helped you, Like I'm not going to leave you stranded.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Out the grace the time and my tonality fucked up.
I'm like, no, you're gonna sign prenup? He asked the question,
and then be like, well, what do you think about?
God wants you to be protected as well. It's the
best interest of both of our love. You have earned
my love, but sign this paperwork, baby, please please, Hey respectfully.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
