Ever felt like a food delivery app robbed you? That's how this week's episode of The Brunch Hour Podcast starts off. We deeply dive into a hilarious yet unfortunate Uber Eats saga, discuss the pros and cons of ordering alcohol through apps, and question why on earth utensils are so often missing from deliveries. And if you've ever been bemused by an odd restaurant policy, you'll be fascinated by our exploration of Dallas Observer's article on a rule against serving individuals who smell like marijuana.

If you've ever grappled with gender roles and expectations in relationships, this episode promises to give you a fresh perspective. We chat about women's thought patterns and why they should strive for independence. Ever thought about leasing out a man for a night? We'll tell you why that might not be the best idea. We also explore the nuances of love, sex, and friendships, plus reflections on sexual confidence, older ladies and pool boys, and the difference between bosses and those who just like the word for status.

But that's not all. We share the joy of Styles' 49th birthday celebration, an unexpected gift from our son that led to (Olfactory) a custom scent lab experience, and a dinner at a surprisingly empty but delicious sushi spot. We toast to the food and atmosphere at Dacks Cuisine, despite a slight miscommunication over fried crab legs. As we wrap up this roller-coaster chat, we share a laugh about S Dot's 15-day host trial period, Craigslist, church announcements, and the art of saying goodbye. So pour yourself a cup of coffee or the libation of your choice and let's get into it!

Styles

You are now rocking with the brunch hour podcast, the best hour of the day.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It's the only podcast I listen to.

Styles

With your host styles. I like my hair Red, bone Flat Yellow, light, skin Yellow. I stop. Hello, what's goodie? People, I'm almost ready to take the training wheels off of this salutation thing Almost almost. I'm still a little bit rude. There's still a little bit in me, of course, but here we all with it.

Styles

Listen, if you're driving right now, it's safe. I'm not going to get you a ticket. It's not in rick. Well, I don't know.

Styles

A few minutes into this, I do have something to say that might make you want to. You know, mash the gas and all that other good shit. But anyway, if you're listening for the first time, what up? You know, if you're a listener and you've been a listener, what up? And do me a favor, send this out to somebody else that you know mimics your personality, style and grace and see if they want to listen in as well. Anywho, let's get right to it. Listen, unless you were living under a rock, you already know Tory Lane's got 10 years for a gun and a foot and your man, henry Ruggs, got three years for killing a lady and a dog, doing 160 in the residential Don't ask me where he was going and also shadows to Hawaii, man, one of the islands went up in smoke during the hurricane either during or before I'm not even sure I know hurricane was used.

Styles

I didn't go that deep into it. I do know that there was a lot of fucking fire and it looked like a fucking war zone and, ironically enough, the smoke managed to stay there. And we're talking about an island. And when Canada had a fire, I looked out and it looked like the fucking Mars landscape. But we'll leave that alone. That's something else. All right.

Styles

So let's get to the crux of this whole thing, the thing that I'm excited to talk about. Let's talk about the real MVP of the fucking Alabama situation. All right, we're going to give out some awards. We are going to give out some awards, and I need to learn to start pressing these buttons when these buttons are called for. But anywho, here we go. So the real MVPs Uncle with the chair, uncle with the chair. He will remain a name because, even though they bagged him, I don't want to put him out there like that. You know, we don't want to further any type of shenanigans. Auntie's with the mean knuckle game. Shout out to y'all the Riverboat gang that showed up like a Marvel comic book crew. I was going to say gang, but you know, white people take that anyway. The young man that swam to the rescue because his patience was slim to none. Let's talk about that hat, that hat that will go down in infamy, the hat that should be found and bronzed right. But let's be real, the real.

The folding chair fiasco

Styles

MVP is the white guy that fucked around and found out that guy. You know you got your entire team fucked up, the entire team. Why did you do that? Why did you do that? Anyway, who gives a fuck? What happened is going down is documented, which is great. You know, I must have watched that video six or seven times that day, and then maybe about 12 to 13, 14 times the following day, because you know, when your people start catching different angles, y'all want to talk about it. And you go back and you see shit that you know. You didn't see the first go round. My bad, my bad. Let's bring it back a little bit, right, because the white guy is not the true. So he was the catalyst. He was the catalyst. He was the dumbass catalyst that started the whole shit. He was the catalyst. However, the true MVP was Follenship, as we all know right. The Follenship because it came through.

Styles

I must ask you know, a couple of swings later.

I must ask.

Styles

And then he was getting the wars for the whole shit, kidding me. We got Grammy. We got Grammy, we got Grammy. It's crazy, you know, because me myself, I'm a CEO, but I'm also with chairman. Fuck around and find out if you're wanting Now, um, a little bit of ignorance, because that's what I do. If you don't like what I do but watch everything I do.

Speaker 4

you still a fan, hey?

yo watch them.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Do we need two shots All?

Styles

right, so boom, we're back on the other half of everything. Um, welcome back as that.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Hey, hey, yo hey who?

Styles

No, no, no, no, welcome back. I'm excited you should be.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Thank you for having me back.

Styles

We've met. Yeah, it's kind of it feels like that right, like she's not a part of this for real.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It was a trial period. At 30 days.

Speaker 5

You got the job.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It was a 30 day trial period. Yeah.

Styles

Now we have some really good guests that came in your absence. You did.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I heard some of those. Yeah, they came through. On the came through.

Styles

Well, listen, everybody, put your glass in the air. What we're drinking this week is called the loaded half and half.

Speaker 5

All right.

Styles

Um, it is Hennessy ice tea and lemonade on sweet tea and then lemonade, and it's in the Tom Collins glass and I just really didn't measure that.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I believe you.

Styles

Let me go ahead and try it. You got to start it, though, yeah. Okay, while you're doing that, um, I'm going to mute your mic. I have a very interesting story to tell, though, because I did the um the Uber eats for the alcohol. Because I was prepping for the show and I didn't want to leave the house or left the house. It's a nice day out. You already know how that go, um oh, that's pretty good, it's good right.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Even though you didn't even measure it.

Speaker 5

I didn't.

Styles

Wow, but do me a favor, though I'm excited. Sip, slow Okay.

Shadra (S Dot)2

All right, yeah, I'm done.

Styles

And then we won't have a show. Anywho, I ordered. I ordered a drink. I ordered the Hennessy on the Uber eats at. Yeah, no pardon, I'm lying. I ordered the Hennessy on the grub hub app.

Speaker 5

Okay.

Styles

So I've been watching some videos lately and I've been watching motherfucking still shit, right.

Shadra (S Dot)2

And.

Styles

I'm like, yeah, you just think it'll never be me. It's not me.

Shadra (S Dot)2

See, that's wrong. I don't order like grub hub and I don't know I don't. I don't really use those apps until only when I'm here, but when I'm in Dallas, yeah I don't. I don't use none of those apps.

Styles

You done.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I'm done, go ahead. I'm sorry.

Styles

All right.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So I thought maybe you want to hear my backstory even though it's not my, it's not even my story, it's just story. Go ahead.

Styles

So the guy pulls up. I'm looking at him on the map, right, the eye in the sky. I'm looking at him, so I'm still doing what I'm doing. I don't know what the fuck. Maybe he's trying to figure out parking because you can't. You can't park in front of the building during certain times because there's always a car there and they think that you know.

Styles

they run upstairs, they think that some fucking parking attendant not parking attendant, but the cops going to magically appear and give them a ticket, whatever. So I'm thinking he's doing that whole thing. And then five minutes later it says delivered, but this is alcohol.

Styles

Now ladies and gents, if you're not familiar with ordering alcohol through the app, you actually have to show your ID. He has to scan the ID in order to release it. So as soon as I saw that, I was like wait a fucking minute, open up the door look down I was like nah. But then I heard the elevator start to close and I'm like this motherfucker just jacked me for my fucking alcohol. Yeah, and the only reason is because I didn't run behind him.

Styles

It's because every time, every time it's it's show. He knows Melissa, who happens to be like. America's next top model. It shows up as Robert. Robert done smoked 10 L's before he even got over here, you know. But now, um, then I got on the horn and they took care of it. It was like, listen, this is what we could do. And I told him I was like listen, your man Rob me. I don't know who the fuck you're hiring.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It's like the mid 90s, they ain't doing no background checks.

Speaker 5

None at all. None at all, I mean.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't even think it's necessary, but but you crazy.

Marijuana Policy in Restaurants

Styles

I think, at the very least, they should have packed groceries at some point in their life in order to get this job, because you already know like we've gotten things and there've been five items on that list and the motherfuckers will show up with three. You check utensils. They won't be a fucking utensil in sight. You understand. I'm saying so I think that that old thing anyway, Um I so boom, let's move on to the icebreaker Come on let's go.

Styles

Let's go to the icebreaker Listen. So the Dallas observer Okay, your party, town right Warns people that D Slow down, killer.

Shadra (S Dot)2

That's what it's called. I'm D.

Styles

I'm about to take that fucking drink from you right now.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Go ahead, finish this story.

Styles

I appreciate you, they said. Now the Dallas observer warns people that they will not be served if they smell like marijuana. There's a sign. There's a sign on the door that says that if you smell like skunk when, not when, I'm doing it. So naturally I had to research it. Now, I'm not a smoker. You were smoking, no, so I don't smoke. Um, my brother is a smoker and this nigga, anyway, it's a whole other story. But yeah, he's a smoker. He's a smoker, he's a smoker, he's a smoker, he's a smoker, he's a smoker, he's a smoker, he's a smoker.

Styles

He's a smoker. The whole other story, but yeah, he's a smoker. That might this might offend him. Doesn't offend me. Yeah, um, and I've worked in the surface industry before and I know people that are coming Like. My thing is is I have a question to everybody that does smoke why the fuck do you think that I want to smell you? Now, you're not that's. I just want to know that.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, yeah, I think that was part of the the reason the owner put this policy in place. Yeah, because you know, like he was saying, like you know, sitting in the restaurant, you Nobody wants to be sitting around in a restaurant trying to enjoy that feeling, and that's all you smell it right.

Styles

Yeah, and I get it. They're nose blind to it because they're smoking it.

Speaker 5

I get it.

Styles

I understand it, but at the same time, though, I'm telling you and this is my PSA right now I'm telling you that you smell like a pound of weed. You smell like you use weed detergent for you to wash your clothes. You understand what I'm saying and I can only imagine what your fucking yuck mouth takes like. That shit is fucking crazy. Think about it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, especially if you have that much coming off you.

Styles

You smell like the baggie that you rolled up from.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Do they smell like a fire bag? No, it's just a dime bag, and it's the thing I got.

Styles

I have friends that smoke. I have family members that smoke. If you love me, you love me, but you gonna take this pause. I don't give a fuck Like to me. I just don't understand it. I don't understand. Like these same people, just like us, whatever they smoke, they'll quickly, you know basically judge somebody else if they have too much cologne on. If I put a thousand, if I spray 10 times and then walk outside, they're gonna be offended. But you can hot box in your car for three months straight, literally, without coming out. That motherfucker pop out, smell like a whole fucking, you know, exotic strand. The good stuff, the good stuff. You know. The motherfucker's got to be following behind you with a lighter or something. He ain't about to roll you up.

Speaker 5

Yeah, definitely.

Styles

Yeah, but so okay. So what I did was I did the background check, wanted to find out if they could legally do that, and he is, it is yes.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, I mean that's just like anything else or any other I guess, like service, you know, in the service industry, like other occupations or things like that, because I mean or just like like corner stores and things like that. I don't know if you remember, like back in the day, you know I haven't seen those kind of signs, but well, not lately, but like the signs where it's like no shirts, no shoes, no service.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So I mean it's pretty much the same concept, same thing. So I mean, hey, if you first of all it's too many text managed restaurants in Dallas and Texas period, so you can go. It's so many other places you can go. For one somewhere else. Get your tacos, get whatever it is you get and go somewhere else. That's pretty much all it is. It's too many restaurants in Dallas.

Styles

Well, I did see a too, many a brunch spot in New York where they actually, where you can smoke your weed and whatever. So it's going to be a bunch of that shit popping up now yeah they just created a lane right To be exploited. You know so. As far as the law is concerned, you know, as long as they follow state, federal and local non-discrimination laws, they could you know so to me that's kind of like a great one, because when you think about it, you are discriminating yeah you are.

Speaker 4

That's what I'm saying.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Exactly, but you know, I guess there's ways around it.

Styles

So now, I don't know, but like no.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I think the thing, like the article was saying, as long as it's been done equally amongst everybody and not just like one particular group, you know, or you know like I'm just going to say black people or Hispanics, or you know like everybody, if a white person come up in here, whoever comes in there, smell like weed, okay, you can't get service, you need to go somewhere else and get your tacos period Okay. So hopefully they not just, like I said, it's limited to only one group of people.

Styles

But all right. So let's take it a step further though. Let's take it to let's say they're opening themselves up for a lawsuit. Maybe not that industry, but there are other industries. Let's say I'm going into like Target or something like that, and they're refusing to sell me something based on the fact that maybe they think that I'm fraud because I smell like weed. You get what I'm saying Like. Your first inclination is like oh, your fraud, come and smell like a pound of weed using somebody else's gift card.

Shadra (S Dot)2

But there's no signs on the target doors that saying that we're not going to service you if you come in there and smell like weed, I guess. I guess All right, don't let's not bring Target into this.

Styles

Why might get?

Shadra (S Dot)2

your target.

Styles

Bay.

Speaker 5

My target Bay.

Styles

Yeah. Trouble, mm-hmm, he come through smell like a bag of weed.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't know what he smelled like. That's the other thing, though what?

Styles

I've gotten food and opened up my food.

Speaker 4

And it's just like weed, because, oh, that's disgusting. Exactly that's my thing.

Styles

That's. That's, that's my thing, Anyway, moving on. So I have a new thing. What's?

Shadra (S Dot)2

your new thing.

Styles

Um, while I was preparing for the show today, I recorded something Okay, and what I recorded was, basically, I was like yo, we're going to play a game. Oh wow, I'm going to hit this button, Right.

Shadra (S Dot)2

This is like.

Styles

I promise you I did. Ok, ladies and gentlemen, this is what I did today. I invited her in the process of actually putting the show together.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Oh God, here we go.

Styles

She kept scrolling and it kept stopping looking at bloggers like.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, I was looking up information you sent me one thing in four hours. I was scrolling and looking up information. I was what. Listen, I told you I'm not a podcaster. I don't do this for a living, so yeah, cannot, cannot move on. This is all new to me. Main course is time to eat what's on your mind.

Styles

Nice. So here we go. Let's get to the shit for real. I'm going to play this clip, because this actually is what you did send to me. Ok, all right, so I'm hoping that you have some thoughts on this. I hope you showed up to fight. I'm ready to fight.

Shadra (S Dot)2

What did I send you?

Styles

Yeah, there we go.

Shadra (S Dot)2

You only sent me one thing and I don't remember what it was.

Styles

Jesus Christ. Anywho, here it goes.

Speaker 4

She just asked me about a 50,000.

Styles

That is not what I wanted to do. Entertain the people while I fix this.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Hey people.

Styles

All right, here we go. Now, here we go, ok. What's your dating style?

Speaker 4

I pay attention to detail. I don't like to what a person likes.

Shadra (S Dot)2

OK, so Birkin bags are really my thing.

Speaker 5

I like Chanel, you done Yep.

Speaker 4

She just asked me about a 50,000 per. I mean, I just met you. I don't even know your last name, seattle. You kind of scared me when you were talking about them, birkins, a little bit. What if it's a rough year and I can't get you that, birkin, do you leave or do you run away, or what do you do?

Shadra (S Dot)2

One thing about me if I want something really, you go find somebody else can get the Birkin.

Speaker 4

No, no, no.

Styles

I'm going to buy the Birkin.

Speaker 4

When you look at me different Because I'm in a rough patch and couldn't get the Birkin.

Shadra (S Dot)2

For you just saying that little thing that is very true to my life, my finances brings doubt to men all the time. The Birkin jokes rule for me because guys really get intimidated by that and then for him to turn around and try to make me feel bad. This is really an insecurity within yourself.

Styles

Yeah, you want me to start.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Please.

Styles

Okay, so I have questions and I think that you'll be able to answer these questions.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Oh, goodness Okay.

Styles

You know not that you have the same trained authority as this young lady. Right, not going to be disrespectful yet, but not that you have the same trained authority as her. She said that dudes are intimidated by the jokes right and outcomes to be worth. That bitch ain't fucking, she is not joking she wasn't, she wasn't joking, she was dead serious.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, because, yeah, no, she was definitely serious. Um, okay, so what's your question?

Styles

Um, why do women think like that? No, I'm serious. That's like a very honest question, because when I'm scrolling, of course, if there's not as popping up in my feed because that's every three seconds it's not my fault.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Listen, I promise you was not quit liking it, it's not me like and quit commenting, never mind.

Speaker 5

I definitely don't comment, I'm like.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Sims comment I'm not coming.

Styles

Um, yeah, sometimes I do get a little.

Shadra (S Dot)2

And that's why it's like it the way it is. We've had this conversation so many times.

Styles

My thumb is epileptic.

Shadra (S Dot)2

You know what?

Speaker 5

So anyway, all right.

Styles

No, when I'm scrolling that is like a common train of thought. You know it's like is he the woman is talking about what a man has to be able to do. All right, let me start here. My problem is I think that women should stop asking for shit that they can't get for themselves. Right, and? Then, you'll get the defense where they'll rush in and be like but I can't know, you can't, because you don't have it when.

Styles

I show up, you don't have it. When I show up, you understand what I'm saying, but yet still it's a request. How does it become a request and you say I could do? If you could do it, you would have done it. We're talking about bags here Now and I open up the closet. There's no, there's no bag over $1,000 in that closet. But you asking for a $30,000 bag and I was today years old when I found out that those shits are expensive Birkin is crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, and I can't answer for all women, but I don't know. I mean, I think well and like what I did agree with her with what she said was. I mean, she did say that you know, if I guess for a man, if he can't provide it, then she'll get it for herself, and I think that's always been my train of thought. You know, like I said, if it's something that I really want, first of all, I'm not the type that's going around asking a man for anything, period. I just don't. I've never been like that. If a man gives me something, that's one thing, but I've never like just come out and be like, hey, you know, give me a bag, give me this, give me that, give me this. I've always been the type to just if I want to, I'm going to get it myself.

Styles

I can vouch for that. I did buy you a bag that's still sitting in the closet.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, yeah, be one that I like. I mean, you have to learn me, you have to know my style and what I like and what I don't like.

Styles

So I mean, the everyday bag is in the fucking.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't know. The everyday bag is legit.

Styles

The everyday bag happens to be a Tory Burch soft, soft, but a leather it is it's so soft, the big heart yeah. With the Chevron pattern. Yeah, I love it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I love it. So I mean, yeah, more bags on that style.

Styles

Of course I take it every day all day I'm going to get you a target bag. Can I get you a target bag?

Shadra (S Dot)2

Target has some real cute bags. I have a couple of bags from Target.

Styles

You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen, so OK no. So targets not off the menu.

Shadra (S Dot)2

A target is not off the menu for me.

Styles

OK, all right, Talk about. So I want to know again where is that? Is that like something that's taught at home? Like who and not only is it taught at home, who teaches a woman that? I'm on the attack right now.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I see who teaches a woman that Help. Well, I mean, of course it could be taught. You know, again, I can't speak for every woman and you know how she was raised or whatever, but I mean, I definitely think it could be taught, something that could be taught as far as you know, or you know what you can get from a man and things like that.

Styles

Like I, don't know, just say her mama did it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, her mama may have done it.

Styles

Her mama definitely did it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

We don't know that. But again, like I said, I've just never been that tight. Maybe I should have. No, I'm just joking, but I've never been that tight. I'm always going to get what I want.

Styles

It's crazy, ok. So again, this is I'm defending, I'm standing up for the fellas out there, and one of the other things I did pass them past a meme that I meant to record with a lady was like you know, if he ever gets into a rough patch.

Styles

blah, blah, he's doing this, he's down bad, he's got a job. Yada, yada, yada, yada. I'm leaving, Literally. That's because I'm thinking that she's going to turn the corner with this dude. You know, cause when he turned the corner it's just him and she went the other direction. But I don't know, For me it's kind of sickening in a way that I don't see enough bosses out here. I see a lot of miss, I see a lot of misusage of the word boss. As far as women are concerned, right, I mean, I can't give you everything that you want. You want the range. I can't get you to range. I'm going to get you to range. I can't get you to range. Now you understand.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, really, I only want to range it. What do you?

Styles

want what you want.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, let's see. Well, it won't be a range for sure. No, I don't want that anymore. I told you a Porsche A. Porsche, yeah, or a two door Bentley Either one.

Styles

I'm going to go into this other clip because this might be the perfect segue into that. All right, you ready.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I'm ready. I want to have a test of your boyfriend. Excuse you, I want to knock your boyfriend. She what. I will pay you five million Naira, yeah, yes, lend me your boyfriend for a night. How much? Five million Naira, how much Okay.

Styles

So I did the math on that because as soon as I seen that I was like hold on, let me go and find out how much that is, if I'm going to record it, because five million Naira might be looking $10 US, so it's like 136,000. So I could loan out the day.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, of course not.

Styles

But see, that's why I played it though, so all right.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So I'm 136,000. Yeah, no, think about it. Hold on for time out, though Go ahead.

Styles

I would use protection Okay, that's one. It would clear up the debt. It would Right Business credit would be on fleek Right, so we can actually take that, flip that and then come out on top like half a mil Easy God.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So that's what you want to do? No, I'm asking you if it were on table.

Styles

It's not what I want to do.

Shadra (S Dot)2

You think you're going to back me into a coin Wait a minute. And the women that was in that audio, they were friends.

Styles

They were friends.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, I'm asking, who was it?

Styles

I think that one was a boss, the other one was a worker. Oh clearly, because the other one was like five million Naira.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So she thought that the other one could be bought. I didn't know, I couldn't understand. Okay, yeah, no.

Styles

No, not a little bit. Watch my double standard Right. Go ahead. What was it, pretty woman?

Shadra (S Dot)2

What's a pretty woman.

Speaker 5

Yeah, pretty woman. Yeah, absolutely, Absolutely not.

Styles

No, I think that you know I would be the prostitute. You can't be the prostitute. I would have to be the prostitute.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I think you wouldn't mind being a prostitute. I wouldn't mind it, you wouldn't mind it. I would absolutely mind it, you would definitely mind it, I would mind it Would you yeah, because I'm funny. Oh yeah, I forgot, because we had that conversation before.

Styles

Did we Mm-hmm? Refresh my memory.

Shadra (S Dot)2

As far as remember, when we were talking about you not smashing your ugly friends Because they were ugly and I was like, okay, so you had some if one of your homegirls was ugly from back in the day, you know and you never did smash them, but they probably like damn. We never did smash.

Styles

Well, that's the reason why?

Shadra (S Dot)2

because they was ugly. No, oh.

Styles

It wasn't because she was ugly or they were ugly.

Exploring Love, Relationships, and Friendships

Shadra (S Dot)2

Oh, okay. Well, what was it?

Styles

I've never had a group of ugly friends at one given time.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, I don't know. You told me that there was a couple of them.

Styles

There were, but they were spread out though.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Oh, okay, wasn't a whole gang of ugly chicks?

Styles

who was once, was it?

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't know you were like yeah.

Styles

I'm like insolate you myself with ugly chicks.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No.

Styles

Oh, okay, you're fine.

But yeah.

Shadra (S Dot)2

But no listen.

What.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, no, we not selling D.

Styles

You're right, we're not selling it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

We're not even mowning it out they're leasing it.

Styles

Don't look at me like that. It was something I was doing, your job today. I was doing my job and your job.

Speaker 4

So I was scrolling and I was like hold up.

Styles

Let me, let me get a take on that.

Shadra (S Dot)2

But it's nice to know that you wouldn't loan me out, though I appreciate that.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, I wouldn't loan you out, but it's kind of something. It's well, but they weren't paying. So it was. I was thinking of the other story where it was a group of friends and they were like, oh, is your man coming to girls night, girls night out? And so it was like, okay, well, can we fuck your man? Like I was just curious, like is that really something that happens? Like a group of girls, like your best friend, I'm gonna say about five women, a group of five women, and you bring your man to the party and your girls are asking, hey, can we help your man?

Shadra (S Dot)2

First of all, and he just going around, f and all the all four friends.

Styles

You would your friends would have to be well, you don't have any friends, but your friends will have to be.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I have a friend. I what?

Styles

Fix your face. What I have friends. Okay, I'm just playing. She does have friends, so maybe I'm not, but this is the thing though.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't have a lot of friends, but I do have a friend or two.

Styles

Nobody needs a lot of friends after the age 40. Listen, I need like if I can count on my hands, both of them.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I can count on one hand. I'm one hand.

Styles

That's even better, that's easy man, what the fuck was I going to say? That shit threw me that fucking young.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I'm sorry, god damn it.

Styles

It was going to be good too it probably was, it probably was Okay, so you can't rent the dick out.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, we're not renting out, okay.

Styles

I'm not touching it enough for me. Drop the subject, leave it alone. Kick it up the block. Let's go, um, okay, so since we can't, uh, when I, before you know we got married actually, no, since the exception of me thinking about love and what my relationship looked like, I thought that it would look a little something like this I love seeing him sleep easy.

Speaker 7

Every night, like clockwork, I scratch this man's back to sleep and I know when he's asleep because I can tell when his breathing changes. And some people might think that's psychotic, but that's like, I just know. That's when I'm like oh, I can stop now, but I find joy in being your rest.

Styles

Shit like that. Like shit like that. That's what I and I had to balance it with. You know the earlier clip and stuff like that, because I'm like yo. My, I don't even understand how a nigga could love you if it comes at a price, which is ironic and me sitting here talking about leasing my dick, right?

Shadra (S Dot)2

He like at least one time, just one time, just so we can flip it.

Styles

Yeah that's a fact. Oh, the block is high.

Shadra (S Dot)2

For how long is it? 30 minutes? How long? Seven minutes. No, we can never Every time it's like what Seven minutes? It would never be the same.

Styles

The relationship would never be the same.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, it'll definitely.

Styles

You would never look at me the same.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah right.

Styles

Because it's kind of like.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, I look at you like the doll You're on the rail, like how much we got getting there.

Styles

That's next birthday, give us a webcam. Let's make it a. And the only fans.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Let's turn it into a business one. I'm running a husband's here. You can remind me, I'm 135,000.

Styles

There was another clip that I saw. It's funny because there was another clip that I saw where the lady was talking about they're going to stay together, right? I? Guess somebody stepped out. Maybe I'm wrong, because somebody's listening to this right now. I'm like nigga, that's not how it went. That's fine. I'm making this shit up as I go along, I'm sure, but there's a point to this. They would have gathered.

Shadra (S Dot)2

OK.

Styles

So I'm happy and then not together. This is terrible, but they're still together. Somebody stepped out. I think he stepped out.

Speaker 5

OK.

Styles

And she found out and she was like listen, this is what we're going to do. We're going to stay together. We're still going to make this money together. We're going to raise our child.

Speaker 5

Oh yeah, it was one child together. I think I saw something like that. She was like but whoever I'm fucking, there's none of your fucking business.

Styles

And I was like Jesus.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Oh yeah. And he was like caught off guard by all that. Yeah, yeah, she didn't give a fuck.

Styles

She's light-skinned too. She didn't give no fucks.

Speaker 5

No.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, because if you can do it, I can do it even better. No, that's a whole fact.

Styles

But getting back to the watching call and I don't want that. But getting back to the whole the shit that we just played with the lady and all of that, that was my idea of love. You know you want to be able to close your eyes and rest, literally literally literally because it was a there was a meaning behind that.

Styles

You know, of course, if you start up in my back, you're going to notice my breathing change immediately, and I'm just on my own. They could be on his own, man. Yo. Ladies and gentlemen, this old people's sex Shit is horrible. First of all, I'm sorry, I didn't say our old people sex, I just said old people sex in general. Wait a minute.

Shadra (S Dot)2

First of all, if you just said our, you know, I did, you did, I know.

Styles

I didn't.

Shadra (S Dot)2

You like, I'm not talking about our.

Styles

Yeah, old people, I'm not to come on.

Shadra (S Dot)2

But why got to be old people sex though.

Styles

Because that's what we do Now. I'm just Listen.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, but this is the thing. Hold on.

Reflections on Sex and Relationships

Styles

Listen, I'm talking to everybody. I'm talking to everybody 40 and over. Your, your tricks and shit that you brought into the bedroom earlier on in life. That shit is retired. It's sitting on the bench somewhere. The towel boy don't even come by there. I'm dead ass. Like he don't even come by there, like all of that. Like you start to realize that the gym means more to you now than ever.

Speaker 5

Yeah, I promise you that.

Styles

I promise you that, because there are certain positions not to put our business out there, but there are certain positions. A nigga really just be focused on a position.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Like I really stand on this one. Let's say, like what's not my tip to?

Styles

what's not early is impossible. It's impossible because I'm so focused on other shit.

Shadra (S Dot)2

like you know, form Not catching the cramp, my toes catching the cramp, we're going to have to get a fucking water boy.

Styles

You're going to have to come in and wipe my foot Like like a pit stop or something. Just keep the dig in the bathroom Pause. No, I even got to be a dude. We need a water check, you know.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I mean even the bathroom is going about. I didn't say a fluffer. I said I'm saying because that'll lead to something else. Why?

Styles

I'm older now that shit ain't going to lead to nothing.

Shadra (S Dot)2

OK, cool.

Styles

They go, take one look, realize I have to perform and be like no, I'm at two.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Oh no, I can't handle the one You're going to take these kind words.

Styles

I'm just, it's going to be some heavy slurping.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, that's a lot of winking.

Styles

Oh, yeah, yeah my imagination is going to be an over.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Be out of the winking, and that's how you can get for real, that's a good wink.

Styles

So I'm just an empty promises Mm hmm.

Shadra (S Dot)2

A lot of. I wish I could.

Styles

Yo, that's fucked up. That's why all of the old ladies fuck the pool boy.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Probably what?

Styles

Yeah, don't even you had a fix your face. Don't bite your lips, you just bite your lips.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Pool boy yeah. I just need a pool. I can have a pool boy.

Styles

But what's crazy is I think that, ok, just from my observation, I don't think women want a really young guy, because they said all they do is they have one stroke, that's it. The young guys have one stroke, one stroke, and that's just like a million miles a minute. You know, hold on, if I go back, if I regress into my childhood, I was like, yeah, it was a rat, that was literally it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

And probably that was it.

That was it.

Styles

You know, but when you start to refine your stroke, it's like around 29, 30. You know, because it starts to slow down.

Styles

You start to realize you know you have other bills. Life really starts life. And at that point, yeah, not. And then you refine your stroke because now you realize that you might. You start to feel, you start to figure out, rather, what love is you want them to stick around. So it's kind of like, hold on, I just can't, I'm not busting off of me. I got to get a dignitized, so it's a whole different story.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Is that what that big D energy is about? I don't know.

Styles

I don't know, I have big, big energy just just because. Well, no, there's a reason.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It's more of a confidence type of situation, or is it really like because you got something, because you putting it down, like from what I'm hearing, is this Women like?

Styles

for instance, if the dude is exuding that big, big energy, a lot of times he doesn't have big dick. You know I'd rather be an asshole than exude big dick energy. That's defined by society. Like you know, I'm a good asshole. You understand what I'm saying. My stroke is mediocre at best right now.

I don't know I give zero fucks. I am married.

Styles

You stuck with, you, stuck with everything.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, nobody helped.

Speaker 5

I'm taking my way.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Is it the dad? By because of the.

Styles

I don't know, but your five friends is like, so my big game is like no wonder she. She got no time she.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No wonder she ain't called.

Speaker 5

These are jokes, guys, guys, we're, these are my friends are going to go out to dinner.

Styles

No, you ain't yeah we are.

Shadra (S Dot)2

We're going to go out to dinner and have some drinks and talk.

Speaker 5

About what.

Styles

The fuck which I'm going to talk about.

Shadra (S Dot)2

We got girls coming up, ok, but yeah, they ain't got nothing to do with my big game.

Speaker 5

My big game is it's trash. It's not trash. I know it's not Damn it's wrong with you.

Styles

I'll give you the call.

Shadra (S Dot)2

You said mediocre.

Styles

I said mediocre. Ok the average. But it's really not. It's.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, keep it.

Styles

I'm just trying to Because I'm, you know, I'm listening, because this just works out better for the DMs Like because I would say you're going to be in the DMs, Like let me see. No, they're going to be like. I want that.

Speaker 5

What that mediocre day by Nick is about you like they got a really nice voice. But they can, but I don't know.

Styles

You got to watch out for the old ones, because the old ones remember.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Old ones, yeah, they like.

Styles

Shit.

Shadra (S Dot)2

What? The old man or old woman, the, the, but you know, they say, as we get older, the women get older, like that's when we really start performing.

Styles

Oh, is that right? That's what I heard.

Speaker 5

We know that, me too.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't think I'm at that age.

Speaker 5

I don't know At that age, right now you need like I'm tired.

Styles

Well, you know shit like that.

Shadra (S Dot)2

And listen. But so you got to realize too, as the woman gets older.

Styles

There's so many other factors that go into like, tell me one without making me throw up.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Premenopause.

Styles

I said without.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, that's not that Like. There's so many factors. We got to you know that our bodies are going through hormones and things like that, and we still got you know life is life and still got shit going on. Right, it's just a lot.

Styles

Hold on Right now.

Shadra (S Dot)2

And then we got, and then we still got to perform you don't have to.

Styles

We like you to show up. We show up it's like the, we both get old. They still having sleepy sex.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Like the sex is over yet I need to just go to sleep right now.

Styles

You know that is definitely off the menu, it's like Netflix and sleep you lucky if you get past like the halfway point in the movie.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Me is Well, that's you. You be knocked down in the first five minutes. I'm like this nigga. I thought we were watching a movie, yeah.

Styles

Before we go to the movie just want to waste my fucking money, because I will knock it and recline the cheers now.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Come stand it.

Styles

Okay, listen Out of here. Yeah, it's too much fucking money to not be well rested.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I'm kind of taking now for everything you have to After you eat, and then you can't just jump right into having the sex after you eat. You have to wait till your food digest.

Styles

That's just a lot.

Shadra (S Dot)2

And then by that time I'm sleepy, I'm ready to go to sleep. That's a fact. I mean, well, yeah, I'm already sleep.

Styles

But just leave one position, yeah you got to.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It's too much.

Styles

They who does more to work Got a woman.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, we already had this and I want to have it again. I mean, I suppose you do, Because I know at this age I'm like you done as long as you get up. No, I'm just joking, that's crazy.

Speaker 5

No.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I know that's crazy. Listen, I'm tired. I got things to do. You probably sit there like that. I'm just waiting for somebody to say something.

Styles

It's just a whole full blown argument.

Shadra (S Dot)2

What the fuck is going on Now. We good, though.

Styles

We are Okay. So Gold diggers are gold diggers.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Who is the gold digger?

Styles

The chick with the Birkenback.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't think she's a gold digger. Get the fuck out of here.

Styles

She's not joking.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, she wasn't joking.

Styles

She's a gold digger.

Shadra (S Dot)2

But at the same time I think she just kind of like laying out her preference and what she really wants out of a man.

Styles

If you were in a $40,000 bag, your lace front has to be on point at the very least. That's just me.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It wasn't. Oh, I didn't know that shit.

Styles

Looked like you ever seen American me when they wear that little headnet? No, all right, cool Somebody.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Or the lunch lady with the Remember the lunch lady with the hair in it, and then get the little ball thinking right there.

Styles

You know, out here looking like one of the vatos.

Shadra (S Dot)2

At the E bar smell like marijuana, exactly.

Styles

Exactly, and then it's just me walking by like who did that to you, lady? But nah, she didn't you.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Again, like I said, if you want, um, if you're going to ask for $40,000 bag, look, that's all I'm saying I agree with that, but it's and I kind of want to touch a little bit on when you mentioned um, you know, like how a woman may not have what she's asking you for, you know, when you come into the picture, and so I was kind of thinking about, you know, um, like I said, so for most, or I'm just speaking for myself. Again, like I said, I agree with what she was saying as far as like getting to herself, but at the same time, I don't know, sometimes I feel like where I've heard that sometimes women don't want to maybe she doesn't want to experience certain things with you. What? As far as like clean that shit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, what I'm saying is like okay, let's go, let's go outside. What? Just a Birkin? How about a house? Okay, okay, it's going to use a house, for example.

Speaker 4

Okay.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So you're saying well, you know she should. You know she's asking me to get a house, she's want me to do this and do that in order to get a house, but she doesn't have it when you come into the picture. So I don't know, like I said I heard before, like maybe she doesn't want to experience getting the house with you, you know like with the person that she's with. So she's not really, you know like. So what does she?

Styles

want to do. She wants to get the house by herself or just start with you.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It may not be with you, it may be and it could be with somebody else, but I'm just saying like, maybe you know it's like some of the, some of the things that she wants to experience. Maybe she's just waiting for you to get out the picture so she doesn't have to experience it with you, or maybe she's, you know, like in the midst of getting it. Or you know, maybe you don't really know what's really going on behind the scenes, so she may just be waiting to Okay, now, let me dump him now. Okay, Now, after I, you know, get rid of him. Now I can go in and get my house or get the things that I really want. I don't know.

Styles

That's an interesting take, um, so let me ask you a question. Of course, I don't know why I didn't mention earlier that we did celebrate my birthday. Last week is my birthday, but I'm a Leo.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So is all month. Huh, so is all month your birthday Celebration.

Styles

Thank you, thank you Thank you Thank you, thank you. My oldest son is a Leo too, so you know it's just a continuation and, yes, I am taking it all away. Should we talk about where we went?

Shadra (S Dot)2

It's my birthday last week, just like I just said and uh, I'll do that, and we did that too. But um yeah, now it was my birthday. I woke up, my first inclination was I'm going to lay in the bed all day.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Absolutely not.

Styles

My wife was like uh, yeah, Get on up. You know like I just want to scratch my nuts and watch movies.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Shadra (S Dot)2

50. You have to celebrate every birthday, every day, Right.

Styles

So birthdays. You know what I mean. That's a human construct.

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, you still have to celebrate.

Let's go, go ahead.

Styles

They decided to take me for one way. I thought I was going to eat.

Shadra (S Dot)2

He was ready. I thought.

Styles

I was going to get food. I thought food was involved.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It is, but not the first stop, exactly so I ain't eating no food.

Styles

No, I ain't eating any food whatsoever. My son got up. He's like yo plug this into your GPS and don't research it, just plug it in. So not only you know did I have to, you know, go to a spot, navigate to a spot. I had to drive. My wife doesn't want to drive in New York.

I'm not driving in New York. That's just not happening Period. You just need to get that out your head Like it's not happening. You done it, you finished, go ahead All right.

Styles

My 21 year old does not drive and I'm happy for it. But anyway, we got a call. We now, you know, we get downtown whatever, downtown Manhattan, blah, blah, blah, blah, just that. And third, it was a three o'clock, three o'clock appointment, yeah, so reservation, reservation, rather.

Speaker 4

So I'm like all right, cool.

Styles

So I'm thinking food involved. Pull up Park Walk Cross Street. I'm looking for the restaurant. I don't see a restaurant. It was like, yeah, we're going to ol factory, right oh ol factory and you know it just hit.

Styles

Well, let me tell you what they do. First, custom sense. So basically, you can go in and make your own perfume or cologne, right, they're pulled in a bottle for you. You get your own custom label. Blah, blah, blah, just that. And third, dope Fire. I love it. Yeah, phenomenal. My son came up with it, fire. And I think the most proudest moment was when he pulled out his money.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Right.

It wasn't even on the car.

Styles

It was actual paper money. I was like my God, it's true right here. Yeah, it was awesome, it was a time. It was a time, but I was today years old when I found out, or actually recall, not even found out, but I revisited my old science class and I'm like ol factory, the ol factory nerve. It gives you a sense of smell.

Speaker 5

That's actually so.

Styles

ol factory, ol factory I'm like because old time like ol factory. And then today, when I was writing out the show notes, I'm like oh damn, style's just stupid. Well, I'm glad you didn't figure it out the day of not after yeah, yeah, but he gave me some restaurant and that was another reason why I thought that, because initially, when we showed up, I was pissed off because I'm like, I'm hungry, what are we doing? You know, but then I didn't want to ruin his moment.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, thank you.

Styles

You know? And then not only that, but he's a really good social media dude.

I've taken.

Styles

The pictures in the video.

It's everything.

Styles

Yeah, your man is nice with it. So after we did that we're like I cool, I want to get some food. But I want to get some food, you know, close because we already paid money to park, so we might as well keep it local.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, that was the plan, I know.

Styles

So we rolled up into the tie spot. Right, so we rolled up into the tie spot. I'm called Mat Sue M A T S U, all right.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Why are we even shouting the man?

Styles

No, no, no, we're going to. Oh, so old factories that also located 281. My street in Manhattan. We just became a local show because this clown was like your podcast is low Shut up, I mean, anyway, I'm sorry. Every time I talk about that clown, I yeah.

Speaker 5

Anyway.

Styles

I'm talking about the trigger. And then Mat Sue was actually on the same block. We went in there. Boom, little mom and pop spot, they had the sushi on deck.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah.

Styles

You know they had the chefs back there. You know, going through the sushi, I'm like it's not even packed. Are y'all like? What are y'all doing? Like there's nobody in there? What are you making back there? But anyway, it was doing anything and it wasn't Uber Ease, so you couldn't even. You know. Uber.

Styles

Ease, whatever, couldn't place order. So, boom, they come in. We sit down, you know, and then we get no, that's going to be racist, I can't say that. Then we get um, gotta be careful. Um, imagine getting canceled by the top people. That'd be bad for business. Anyway, this shit comes over, you know, and she's silent the entire time. So she puts glasses down on the table with like thank you. She says nothing and then she says are you guys ready to order? We was like, nah, not. Yet Somebody else comes in. She's, you know, arranging shit, whatever. Whatever she comes back over my son's like yo, um, well, my son's not proper.

Styles

He's real proper. It wasn't. Was it water or was it napkins or something?

Shadra (S Dot)2

like that Okay.

Styles

So he asked for the water and then she no, it wasn't the water, because we she. Then she bring back the water. She bought the water.

Speaker 4

Yeah, she brought water.

Styles

Yeah, but she brought the water later, yeah, so the whole time I'm not getting a good vibe sitting in there. You know how you don't get the good vibe and you just like, yeah, nah, the food, you're going to have food's just going to have some bad juju Like. I'm not even with it, you're not even you're not being friendly.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't know what you doing in that food in the back Exactly.

Styles

Like when you don't give a fuck about the tip or you're not working towards the tip.

It's just like.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I'm not.

Styles

I don't need your money at all, yeah At all, and I'm like all right, cool, um. So they kept looking at me, I'm looking at them, and when I say me and them, I'm talking about my wife and my son. So you and Jay was like. You know, I'm like listen, just say the word. You can blow this spot. Right now, I'm out.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Right.

Styles

And uh, eventually we did get up and just bounce, and as we were walking out, she didn't give a fuck, we had to walk past it, she was just like fuck y'all then Like three less customers, three less sushi rolls. Anyway, we blew it down a block to the tie diner. The tie diner was actually phenomenal. Um, it was a complete um, a 380, you know, is it 380 or 180?

Shadra (S Dot)2

No, it's a 180.

Styles

Yeah, it's after two o'clock.

Shadra (S Dot)2

My math is fucked up and you've been drinking Hennessy.

Styles

I've been drinking Hennessy. I can't blame everything on the booze, but when you out here looking this crazy, you do Everything is the booze, but anyway, the service was impeccable. It was another Thai restaurant with we had two white waitresses.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Styles

You too. It's just that yours is from Chick-fil-A. I'm.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Listen.

Styles

All right, cool. So that was my birthday, and then we had. We had a real bay night. The other night actually, we woke up, we was you want to take it from me.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I'm doing a lot of talking, I don't know. Go ahead. I don't want to jump in on the. You're not going to jump in. I am on the bay night. I am, let's go.

Styles

I'm opposed to fucking job listing on Craig's List and shit I need a whole craigslist. Oh, craig's, I told you I was oh.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Oh, well, listen. I'll fuck you with you I did my 30 day trial period. Yeah, yeah, I guess I need another 15 days.

Speaker 4

Go ahead, oh man.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, y'all don't hear me on here next week. You know what happened.

Styles

All right, so boom the next day.

Shadra (S Dot)2

We had bay night.

Styles

We did have bay night. We had a real bay night. Actually. We were trying to and shout out to Lerica, we was trying to get up with Lerica like the entire week but schedules didn't match up and shit like that. Shit was all fucked up. But definitely catch you on a rebound, mama. So we went to that. What I wanted to do the plan basically was to hit something in every bar.

Shadra (S Dot)2

All right.

Bae Night at Dacks Cuisine

Styles

So out of the five, we hit two. Staten Island definitely wasn't going to make the list. We're not going across that bridge. Going across the bridge, get to the point. We ain't doing all of that. You know shadows to shallowing. We made it to two. The one we're talking about today is called Dax Quizine, and we found them on the Gram Right, and the Gram is the devil as far as thirst traps scams and food are concerned, and I went down a food rabbit hole and found them.

Styles

All right, so you could feel free to jump in I am.

I'm definitely jumping in, because you see my first impression. Yeah, I know, you know what.

Styles

I mean First impression. We pulled up as a little hole in the wall spot.

Shadra (S Dot)2

But normally the hole in the wall spots are the best spots. No, absolute fucking way and yeah, and that's pretty much anything. Well, I don't want to say any city, but I know, especially in Dallas, yeah, get you a good old hole in the wall spot.

Styles

But y'all have tents and shit. There ain't no hole in the wall.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Y'all have shit put together.

Styles

What does a tent Should be looking like little Somalia, don't?

Shadra (S Dot)2

play. No, I'm saying a little hole in the wall and it was the same thing. Ok, look at you defensive. Listen. Don't talk about Dallas, you old, you ain't going to get across the table.

Don't talk about Dallas.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Detail. Don't talk about Listen, I'm not even Shout out to Dallas.

Styles

I'm not going to say D-town, big D and none of that shit Big D Go.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Ahead.

Styles

So we pulled up. It was tight as hell, but the reception was really warm.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, she was so cool and friendly and anybody that we did, we did.

Styles

So. The first thing we asked them was for a menu and she didn't have any menus on hand because they're moving. Then the process of printing up new menus with a new address. I totally understood, and the way that the explanation was all fitted was warm. It was polite.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, I'm with it and friendly, right, yeah, so basically anything that was on Instagram is what she said that was available.

Styles

Yeah, so we started thumbing through there and showing the pictures. What do you think about this?

Speaker 5

What's this what's in this and you know pictures are crazy.

Styles

Oh, it's at DAX cuisine, d-a-c-k-s cuisine on the grid. Anyway, went through all of that, found some stuff I ordered. I was playing this safe and I played myself by doing so Sure did, I did.

You did.

Styles

I did Because I got the oxtails and the rice and peas with the oxtail gravy over the rice and see, that's the thing.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Well, ok, I was about to say because we want to. You always want to make sure right, especially for new spots. Y'all listen to this bullshit, because I'm going to tell you exactly what happened and why we ended up there, go ahead.

Styles

No, I'm saying like whenever you go to a new spot.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I like to get things that either. Well, just new items, right yeah. But see, like I said, you're so used to getting like oxtails and beans and rice and stuff like that, like no, let's get something different, so that way we can kind of like try everything I was eating.

Styles

Try something different, yeah, but you know how many years I was eating beef and broccoli before I was like there are other things on the Chinese menu.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Probably Listen you could catch up on barbecue. I mean, I don't know how to barbecue, so I do.

Styles

This is not I do you do. That's why.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I told you that palette, but anyway.

Styles

So, anyway, we place all of this. I got the, I got the. I've still with rice and peas with I still gravy and steamed vegetables, like I was, you know, ordering from a regular Jamaican restaurant.

Speaker 4

Blah, blah, blah, that's that.

Styles

Exactly Now, like I found something else. You know what did you get as that?

Shadra (S Dot)2

I have the crab legs. Well, it's like a seafood pasta, I guess, and but it had like crab legs, like whole crab legs, like like crab, Like. Y'all will see the pictures. But yes, it was like a seafood pasta. Came in a big old tin pan, right, it was enough for like three people.

Styles

Really it was a lot of food and she murdered it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I did. I see that something left. I'm going to eat it before I leave. I'm definitely going to eat it before I leave, but yeah, so I had that and it came with like the crab legs and lobster, but they didn't have the lobster.

Styles

They didn't have the lobster.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So it was cool, because I just really I really want the crab legs anyway.

Styles

So yeah, so boom, and then we also got Jay, our son, because he wasn't with us. It was it was Bay Night, in the middle of the afternoon. Anyway, we got him, was it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

It was like chicken. It was chicken, it was wings, it was shrimp, it was macaroni and cheese.

Styles

It was shrimp, macaroni and cheese.

Shadra (S Dot)2

OK, shrimp, macaroni and cheese. Wings and some yams and yams yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah. It looked good too, the super taste was pretty good I tried it Don't tell him, but I did.

Styles

So, boom, we're going to get back to the experience. So we pulled up at the spot, Mind you, it was a hole in the wall. Boom, we did whatever. We ordered the food. Somebody came in behind us they he ordered food, you know and it was a couple of waitin' outside. When we pulled up, we go back outside, no, she takes my phone number. And then, you know, it was like we'll hit you when it's ready. I'm like, all right, cool, In New York I am the most ignorant park on planet Earth. I will park, yeah, I will. I will park on your lawn if you have one. And it was the only place to park. But I was pulled up in front of the fire hydrant. So you know, of course we stayed near the car because it was hot as fuck. So we stayed near the car half hour later and we started looking at each other like damn you know what's good, not angry at anything but you know, yeah, because it had been a minute.

Styles

Exactly, and then we started smelling the food from.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I kept smelling my crap, please. Yeah, I knew that.

Styles

Me like in the middle of the block.

Shadra (S Dot)2

They are cooking something. I don't know what it is, but it's something.

Styles

So 45 minutes later I go back in there, Our original hostess. She's not there, there's somebody else, OK, and she's like can I help you? Let me take your order. I'm like now we already ordered. Oh what's your name, stiles? She goes. She was like I'm calling the back. She was good, she goes in the back, comes back out. She was like oh, we don't have the crab legs. Now, mind you, in my head I'm like damn. I got to deliver that message to you, right, and?

Styles

I'm like I'm not trying to do that because you had your head set on, you know some crab legs. So she was like, oh, you can substitute it out. I'm like, all right, cool, we're going to get the shrimp. I made the executive decision.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Look at you, I'm so proud.

Styles

That's what I do. So then I went back outside, Told you you was like, you was like oh, damn.

Speaker 5

But OK.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, we'll do that.

Speaker 5

Because you look good.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, the picture, it was a picture. I like shrimp anyway, so yeah, that's cool.

Styles

So half hour later now we are out with 15 minutes in Half hour later I go back inside, right, because my thing was initially yo, you took my number for what? Like, if you knew that you didn't have it. You know and there's a order back there why you didn't. You know, whatever. Now mind you, this, this hole in the wall spot, is also servicing all of the delivery places. So rub hub you know Uber Eats and stuff like that.

Shadra (S Dot)2

But one thing she did mention when she took our order was that everything was made to order. So I mean, I kind of understood that you know initially, but again, but being an hour and 15 minutes in, it's kind of like OK, what the hell now. And then seeing the other people leave with their food that even the guy that came in after us I'm like what the hell wait me in there, hold on.

Styles

But I think he was a seasoned veteran, though it doesn't matter, no, no, no. What I mean is he? Knows what he's been through that already.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, you know, just waiting. It was like hmm.

Styles

Yeah. So I went back in the air blow. You know we having a conversation and then two other ladies walked in. You know they ordering food and I'm sitting there scratching my head like damn. You don't even know what.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Y'all hit you know I'm for right now. It's gonna be a while. You should have told them.

Styles

Yeah, I ain't tell them shit, my fucking business, I'm hungry.

Shadra (S Dot)2

They got to learn like we did. You gonna learn today, yo, that's a fact. I'm learning the way. That's a fact.

Styles

So yeah, I went back, you know, went back out, all right. So the short of it is this Almost two hours later I went back in. She was like 10 minutes and, of course, 20 minutes later it was ready yeah. You know we paid for it. She was $85 all in, but when she pulled out that 10 pan, I know, right For the lobster.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, I mean the lobster, the crab legs.

Styles

I was like all right, you can have my $85.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, that was, and it was so legit, oh my God.

Styles

Yeah, and I was like damn, I know they gonna give me something more. Oh, it was so hot and fresh.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, it was Right.

Styles

But your man came from the back, boss, and he was like yo. He came out for the back and he was like listen, I just want to make sure that you got everything that you need. He was like one of the cooks and that took me over the edge. That right there was like thank you.

You know, for me it was a family thing you know you go in the kitchen.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah.

Styles

Your mom's is like yo blah, blah, blah and shit ain't ready. You know, and you're expecting it to be ready, but it's not ready. You're not mad because you know the shit gonna be good.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, so you know you're not pissed off.

Styles

And in my head I was like next time I'll just fucking all the head sit on my couch and, when it's ready, go get it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah.

Styles

You know, I played myself and I was just from not knowing.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, you know, like to say, no one is half the battle.

Styles

No, that's a fact.

Shadra (S Dot)2

But yeah, but not. The food was really good. The only thing I would say if you get the, the only, thing, well, the only thing that I don't know, I'm trying to be PC right now because the food was good.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't have any, you know, issues with the food, except I wasn't too impressed with the crab legs being fried. I feel like if the crab was, you know, like, you know like regular, like bald or you know, I don't know how they cook them or prepare them, but you know, just without frying them, because it seems like the crab meat was a little bit dry on the inside and it was hard to get to. So I just, you know, if the crab legs weren't fried, it would have been definitely 10 out of 10.

Styles

10 out of 10. Well, my oxels was 10 out of 10.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, you didn't even share. I was trying to reach my hand again. Well, I'm like damn, but he kept eating them up.

Styles

Yeah, I can't speak to the shrimp and the crab legs because I'm allergic to shellfish.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Shame on me, shame on me. I know, poor baby, that's that palate.

Speaker 5

No, it's fucking crazy.

Styles

My blood.

Shadra (S Dot)2

You gotta take a bit of drip before you. I don't even know.

Styles

Like I think I have more enjoyment out of actually watching people eat it than wanting to try it.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Honestly, yeah, some people you know they don't like to. What is it like a fight for their food, but just kind of like like work for their food, Like it's. You know it's hard to get to, but, like I said, I mean I love me some seafood, so, yeah, so.

Styles

I'm going to get, I mean all right.

Shadra (S Dot)2

So overall, yeah, what's your overall rating?

Styles

This shit. Overall, I would definitely give it a eight out of 10. And the eight out of 10 has nothing to do with the food whatsoever.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Styles

You know, and to be honest with you, they probably deserve a 10 out of 10, just based off of the fact that you know it was a smaller establishment and I know for a fact that the orders that they were taking they had to be overwhelmed back there.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, and, like I said, I would probably give it a nine out of 10, because, like I said, I mean I understand it is made to order, so that's just you going to have fresh food, like that right there Like excites me for having fresh food, because, yeah, so, but, like I said, it was just a crab legs being fried for me, but other than that, definitely a nine out of 10 for me.

Styles

Fuck that punk. I set up to a nine out of 10 too. I'm only shaving off off a point just for the break down and communication. Yeah, not the length of time. I'm good with the length of time that it took for me to get it, but it was just that you know what I mean. I'm like, I'm sitting here outside the restaurant. Just text me, be like. Listen, it's going to be X, y and Z, you know, because once you start, once you get past 60 minutes, there's a conversation Right.

Styles

And it wasn't even like yo. Let me just shave off whatever, whatever. Or here, take this carrot cake, be happy you know something?

Speaker 5

Yeah, and I'm not even there with my handout. And.

Styles

I'm going to tell you after I tasted the food, I gave them a pass on that too Right.

Shadra (S Dot)2

That was it, you know and I'm about to go finish my.

Styles

Yo, it's crazy. I'm going to see a warm up pasta right now because every time I asked about it it wasn't snobby about it at all so it's kind of like they rock me to sleep with the whole family shit.

Speaker 5

And I was like I'm shit.

Styles

I'm part of the family and the food is good and I gave you my money. And you know what I mean. So yeah, nine out of 10. Oh, and then moving to Eastchester in New York. Once again, we're being a local podcast.

Shadra (S Dot)2

Look at us being local. Yes, we're local.

Speaker 5

You're not going to make it out of New York.

Shadra (S Dot)2

You're going to always rap for your block.

Styles

Anyway, they're moving to Eastchester which is going to be a dining establishment. I can't fucking wait. I'm mad because on the ground they actually had these chicken and waffles that look amazing, crazy, so crazy. That was scary. I was shook, daddy, because I was like I know, this is expensive, I don't like it, I'm gonna be pissed off.

Shadra (S Dot)2

I don't know, they look good.

Styles

I can't play it safe next time. I can't play it safe, All right, so boom. Overall 10 out of 10 for Dax cuisine.

Shadra (S Dot)2
