Transcript

Speaker 1 0:02

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

Speaker 2 0:06

It's the only podcast I listen to.

Speaker 1 0:11

With your host, the Styles. What's up? Good people listen. Before I even say hello, I switch it up with the salutation a little bit. I want to say thank you. This is episode 11, and what I said at the beginning of the season was I was just going to do 10. We just doing 10 and we out of here, but I have a couple of people that I need to sit down with before we get up out of here, so we'll probably push it to 15, probably no more than 15. And now, yo, thanks for joining us.

Speaker 1 0:50

I hope your Monday is okay, or whenever you listen into this. If you drive in, you know the rules. Keep your eyes on the road. I'm not going to say anything that's going to inside a riot I don't think. I'm pretty sure that I won't. However, yeah, and if you know somebody that knows somebody, send a link to this podcast, you know, especially if they're like you and you're listening to this, so that y'all have something to talk about. Not that you don't have anything to talk about right now, but anyway, you know me and my bullshit, alright. So boom, check it, let's get right to it.

Speaker 1 1:24

I want to talk about Steve Harvey real quick, right, because the internet right now was handing him his ass right in bit form. And I have a question. I have a question why are we clowning this dude for his wife cheating on him? Right, because, when you think about it, probably 98% of the people that are clowning this dude for his wife cheating on him have been cheating on him Like Weevy. We thought something that you can necessarily control, right? So maybe we should look in the mirror and be like, oh we really, you know, we looking at this nigga like that, but at the same time, we were looking at him like he's infallible, like it can't, or his relationship is infallible, we can't happen to him because he wrote a book. Trust me, on the other side of this is another bag waiting for this nigga. It's definitely another bag waiting for this nigga, and we already know how Steve Harvey is built, right? So when he starts dating again or smashing chicks or taking time to himself, you know, I'm sure that his attitude is going to change.

Speaker 1 2:35

No rice, no champagne. You don't eat nothing, nothing. You ain't getting jack shit off this plate, nothing Incredibly guarded right. And then he'll probably make a sequel to the book. You know, think like a woman, act like a man type of shit and you put it out for the dudes. You know what it is. So let's leave that man alone. Man, his relationship wasn't infallible, wasn't bullet proof, but trust him, believe he got enough money to buy happiness. Don't come from my neck with the. You can't buy it, shut the fuck up. You ain't got money. So if you don't have money, you don't know that you can buy. You can't buy. I've never had enough money to know whether I can or can't buy happiness, so I'm going to lean on the other side of things. Give me some money, I'll be happy, but until then, no rice, no champagne. You don't eat nothing. I used to be in love with this bitch. They mean J the fuck with her. No more. Now I fuck with Tango Ray, tango Ray.

Speaker 2 3:33

Hey, yo watch them. Do we need two shots? It's a combo.

Speaker 1 3:39

All right, before I confuse the fuck out of y'all, listen, there's no brunch hour episode this week. However, I do have one in the clip. Actually, I have a brunch hour episode in the clip too. I just wanted to save it. But this right here is my sis again, natisse from Talk Nice, t's right. So we going to chop this up real quick, get out of. We did get a really good, positive response from the first episode that we dropped with her. No bullshit now it was all about dragging her back outside. You know, because she's still. You know, it's the self doubt thing right now. The hot thing she's told. A few other people think she's told. So let's get to it.

Speaker 2 4:21

I'm sorry that you don't. I'm sorry that you don't. You reached the T's, the host from Top 9's T's. Unfortunately I can't take your call right now, but please sit back and relax and enjoy yourself. So I'm not even gonna lie every time I do this. I'm just gonna say I'm more than just gonna win. Lol. It is more to factor myself. I have such a hard time trying to pick a topic because I'm overthinking everything at once Per usual, like my normal self. But today I'm gonna get in the topic of myself, why I'm like this. I'm gonna try to debunk myself and hopefully, along the way, you guys can help me unravel some of my layers that I have Since I am I very much so believe in my horoscope.

Speaker 2 5:15

I believe that it takes a part into everybody, whether people want to believe it or not, because if you do rig it up one day and it all fits the shoe, I believe that at some point it's true. I'm a Gemini. We love that Jewel and Gemini shout out them the best. So I find it sometimes a bit hard to be very decisive. I eat me ever trying to open up with a great opening and it's just gonna be solid. It takes me a long time to do little things and I really didn't understand it about myself until other people pointed it out. I read my horoscope the other day with one of my friends and it said that I was indecisive. And she literally looked at me and she was like that's dead fucking serious, you know, and I didn't believe her at first Because I felt like I'm a pretty decisive person when it comes, I guess, to specifically group things as I look back on it, but for myself personally, no, I'm very indecisive. It may take me a long time and I think, along with that, because I am a duality with my personality my ADHD be kicking in, definitely, especially at work, and my coworkers love to remind me of that. It's the funniest thing because I've never realized the old 25 years of my life and maybe twice literally Sal has pointed it out like you're 80, 80 is kicking in. You need to bring it back. And it was. I felt like somebody turned the light bulb on, like you just turn the light switch on. I'm like damn, I never knew that and nobody's ever pointed out. They just always told me, but no one's ever actually sat me down and was like, no, this is what I'm talking about right here. We was just talking about one thing and now you're on something else, Like mm that eight. Okay, you got that. That hurt. But with that I think I may take a long time to make my decisions.

Speaker 2 7:02

I make thorough decisions once I finally do come to a decision Whether that be the most simple thing, just trying to get something to eat, if I'm not under pressure of my friends. Honestly, I'm going to be honest with you guys, it'll take me about an hour and a half to figure out what I want to eat and then, on top of that, it's going to be an hour and a half away. That's just who I am. That's just how I rock. Unfortunately, if anybody else out there agrees with me or has this tendency to want to drive far to get their food, I would love to know, because nobody I know does it and I get crazy looks every single time, which is okay. But I'm willing to travel for quality. I am, and that's okay.

Speaker 2 7:45

But with that being said, with decision making, people sometimes Example people sometimes can take that two different ways, depending on how they grew up. My favorite example always is in high school. I'm a very easygoing person, open, you name it, I am. It's great I'm able to have multiple different groups of friends and still be myself at the end of the day.

Speaker 2 8:12

Not saying that nobody else can, but growing up that was so taboo for a lot of people. People couldn't understand me being in groups with one people when that person hated the other person and I'm like I can just understand both sides, which I feel is a good characteristic. But looking from the other person's perspective I could understand how some people might have not seen me as being loyal, hence why I geminized to get the. You know they're not loyal or something like that. But that's not true. I would like for people to kind of see it as I'm super duper loyal. Like I'm loyal to every single body here. Like I know you don't like X, y and Z, so I'm not going to bring you talk to you about A, b or C. Like I definitely know people's boundaries and I definitely respect them Probably more than others do and realize, which can sometimes when I sit back at myself and I have to deal with the situations because I am like that, sometimes it's fulfilling because a person I can explain that and the person will take that in and it'll be satisfying. We understand that, or on most cases I get cursed out because, bitch, who's fucking friend are you? But like I don't operate like that. I never did and I probably never will. But that's okay, because that's you know. More friends the better, as long as we keep them all separated if they need to be.

Speaker 2 9:34

What else do I love about me? You see it right there in there. That's just an issue. That's therapy needing 101 people. You can't name three things that you love about yourself within 20 seconds. It's okay. Therapy is okay too. We need it as well, but not right now. We'll work on that when we get to work on that.

Speaker 2 9:55

Also, another big part of me probably choosing a partner. A lot of people around my age I'm turning 26 this year A lot of people are settling down, and it's sometimes me personally. It's just that's nice to look at, it's nice to know. I don't know if I necessarily want that again and I have to be real with myself and that's kind of first time I saw that out loud. But yeah, it's a lot to take in, especially because I'm usually the friend that everybody comes to about their issues and relationship problems, which I do love because I do have a degree in therapy and psychology, so I love to get to use it. But for me, to put myself in that situation, I think I'm not going to be able to do that, only because I know so much about it and I think that hinders me from a lot and accepting a lot. But so far I'm OK with it.

Speaker 2 10:47

Now, if I have my mother, my aunt, sit me down one more time talking about some, when am I going to get a godchild or a grandbaby, or what's going on with you?

Speaker 2 10:55

What do you like?

Speaker 2 10:56

Now, if I get one more of those conversations, I'm probably going to be pissed and I would love to know if anyone else's families are kind of pressuring them, not actively, but just kind of passively like, oh, what's going on? Are you talking to anybody? I would love to know if anybody else is going through that. Or is everybody just cuffed up? Because 85% of my timeline, for the most part, is cuffed up, which I love to see and support at all, and I better be invited to everyone's baby showers and weddings preferably weddings than baby showers. But that's whatever. It's just being hard on me, because I'm going to be honest with you all right now. Still I cannot come to a concrete idea of what I am or what had to explain myself a little bit better. What With this. That's OK, and I feel like a lot of people do go through that and I think, hopefully, doing this podcast, that I'm able to be able to say three things I like about myself better and hopefully help somebody else be able to do the same thing within a timely fashion.

Exploring Astrology and Personal Characteristics

Speaker 2 12:00

Actually, today I'm going to keep it cute, keep it sweet and actually we have one person, my favorite producer, my only producer, the one who bullies me the most, who means the most. Here we have Stiles, just to talk a little bit about himself and his EO tendencies.

Speaker 1 12:23

Is it EO tendencies or EO synchro?

Speaker 2 12:27

Leo, as in your sign. I understand. I get that. I don't want to do that with you. Ok, I'll just check you see. But that's the Leo in you, yeah, do you think your sign defines you Not 100%, but just has a lot of similar qualities?

Speaker 1 12:42

I think it's 99% on point. Holy shit, 99%. Oh man y'all.

Speaker 2 12:48

On the mic, confirming that his astrology shut up, that his horoscope actually relates and might have some meaning for him.

Speaker 1 12:58

So for me, I think.

Speaker 2 12:59

Notarizes.

Speaker 1 13:00

Yeah, there we go For me. What happened was I think that I was scared into it because I flipped the middle finger all the time to the shit when I was younger, like fuck this shit, that shit is garbage, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 13:16

But then when I started to read up on it and then started to match my EO synchrocies to it, I was like they got this shit, it's down. Like this is me, kind of locked down. Yeah, this is me. And a lot of times I would turn my nose up to it simply because people would be like well, not people, but women would be like oh, I don't like someone so-and-so.

Speaker 2 13:41

And I'd be like hey, rising sign at the square.

Speaker 1 13:43

yes, you know, ask me my sign. My sign is a Leo and it faces get all turned up and shit and I'm like Bad rep. Yeah so and I just was like fuck it. And then I really dove into it and started to read up on it and stuff like that. I was like, yes, I'm an asshole, that's me. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 14:02

Yes, 100%. The star said it 100%.

Speaker 1 14:04

I don't like people Right.

Speaker 2 14:06

That's me. Don't get it. Do you know what your rising is? I think it's Leo you look just like yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 14:14

Psychotic. Yeah, don't do that, it's already been done. See, that's why I announced the shit to begin with, because I was like fuck you. That's just not real.

Speaker 2 14:24

Oh, but it is, it is, it is.

Speaker 1 14:26

That's okay, just not the psychotic one.

Speaker 2 14:30

Oh, I'm a Gemini. Sun Cancer. Moon Rising Sadge I don't know if I'm right. I think so. Actually, we're great. Don't look at me like that. Just saying I appreciate it, though Once again, we have to applaud him for actually coming on here as a male and agreeing with horoscopes, because I feel that's a big thing for people Huge.

Speaker 1 14:51

Huge.

Speaker 2 14:52

They're like, they don't want to know. The stars don't define me Well, they do, they do and that's okay. They make us who we are. Technically speaking, we're all stars anyway, you know, I knew at some point, I knew I was going to get into it, but I knew the comet was going to come up.

Speaker 1 15:07

Yeah, what that comet.

Speaker 2 15:08

That comet, that you just said Nice with it. No, you could have left that one. Yeah, when they landed on the moon, you could have left that one up there.

Speaker 1 15:17

So I just think it's a fucking 2023 hippie.

Speaker 2 15:21

That's okay. Somebody got to do it. That's the fact, though.

Speaker 1 15:26

So, um, I know earlier you were talking about, or you were just denouncing the fact that kids and all that yes. You're to elaborate.

Speaker 2 15:38

No kids, no stress. I already have stress trying to keep myself up. You feel me.

Speaker 1 15:42

No, I'm talking about kids, just being in your general vicinity.

Speaker 2 15:45

Oh children, yeah Hear me out.

Speaker 1 15:49

I think the baby goat. Yeah, oh, you thought it was funny. I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 15:53

Fuck Okay.

Speaker 1 15:56

Like I'm speaking in code Kids Kids, regular kids, children.

Speaker 2 15:59

I'm just talking about me having kids. I'm like yeah, nah, I love seeing kids. Well, hear me out.

Speaker 1 16:06

I love seeing quiet kids.

Speaker 2 16:08

I love seeing cute, quiet kids that are busy doing something I don't know like. Kids that are running around causing a ruckus, irritating parents, disrespecting parents, that right there, that gets under my brown skin. I don't like it at all.

Speaker 1 16:21

Respectfully. So I'm going to leave that alone because you know you had a shovel in your hand. I just don't want you to dig too deep.

Speaker 2 16:27

I respect that. That's okay, because you know me, I'm ready.

Speaker 1 16:32

Somebody hand me a tombstone?

Speaker 2 16:35

Yes, you know that, lovely though I love the kids, let me hold the babies.

Speaker 1 16:41

Oh shit, it's crazy, I would let babies sit.

Speaker 2 16:43

I would give it right back though.

Speaker 1 16:46

So do me a favor, just explain what we were talking about today. What's the episode about?

Speaker 2 16:50

What do you mean Characteristics, and I just specifically chose about my horoscope to specify.

Speaker 1 16:55

Understood in your what.

Speaker 2 16:56

I'm a Gemini, just the best I know here.

Speaker 1 17:00

Just checking.

Speaker 2 17:02

And you know what, as I think about it a little bit more. I feel like we dove into it some time before Gemini. I think they're super duper soft.

Speaker 1 17:14

Gemini. Well, I know that from what I've heard, never actually read, because I don't think that they'll ever document it, but they're nuts. This is what I heard, because y'all look a little bit touched.

Speaker 2 17:30

You know who's crazy Virgos? Look at that. I don't think. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 17:34

I have an ex that was a Virgo and she's not, you had a what. An ex.

Speaker 2 17:38

Oh, okay, no, I fucked that up.

Speaker 1 17:40

I fucked that up. Case closed. But I fucked that up.

Speaker 2 17:44

That's okay. Something in you told you not to fight for this anymore. You told me to run you told you to head for the house. That was for you.

Speaker 1 17:53

No, but Geminis really are nuts. No, how many personalities do you have living inside of you? 96. See, that's my fucking case. Call me versatile.

Speaker 2 18:04

Who wants to be fucking boring? Who just wants to be an asshole all day, every day.

Speaker 1 18:11

I want to be happy today when people roll up on you. They got to ask you who they told them to first before they, they don't, they don't.

Speaker 2 18:19

I prefer them not to, because when they get an answer they don't like, I don't want to hear about it.

Speaker 1 18:23

Alright. Well, my salutations definitely about the change.

Speaker 2 18:25

Hmm.

Speaker 1 18:27

You all right now Doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 18:29

Okay, yeah, alright.

Speaker 1 18:32

That's it, that's it.

Speaker 2 18:34

This is Podcast NCs. Well, she's trying to break through Pod tease yeah anxiety tease. She got that bitch on the lock right now Right right, yeah, she's pushing through, though. She's coming through, hopefully, what it is.

Speaker 1 18:46

I will tell the people that getting you just to hit record button it's fucking crazy, you're done. If we ever get the behind the scenes, y'all gonna be like yo she's a studio gangster, which one, yeah, she ain't really holding.

Speaker 2 19:06

You know, you never know.

Speaker 1 19:10

She holding her breath. You know exactly, nah, I didn't. All right, this is not my show, this is not I'm like the emotional support dog and shit.

Speaker 2 19:21

Until I get better at this. Yes, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry to y'all too. This is just what's gonna have to be. I'm opening up to y'all piece by piece.

Speaker 1 19:27

Piece by piece. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 19:29

I genuinely am. You know what's crazy? Like you say, if you ever get the behind the scenes the behind the scenes are an entire episode I feel sometimes like it really be some shit. It's just like you didn't get the intro, so we can't use that.

Speaker 1 19:41

Yo, I really sucks. Yeah, it's crazy. I even try just hitting record, like just fuck up, just hit record, and she's like, and we'll go in.

Speaker 2 19:49

Yeah.

Speaker 1 19:50

Hold on.

Speaker 2 19:51

Wait a minute. I didn't like that one, like how'd you know it was recorded?

Speaker 1 19:55

Don't give me back the last one.

Speaker 2 19:57

It's on my life. I need it.

Speaker 1 19:59

I need it, but um, yeah, you rolling, though Rolling I'm stop, stop, stop. Not bad. Let's try for the next two minutes to give these people a takeaway.

Speaker 2 20:13

Yeah, okay. So what I say about yourself? I had to actually learn to be all the characteristics I described, basically my Gemini. I felt like I had to empower that because my other side was just too happy, too free, willy, nilly, let everything go. So I kind of had to learn myself and set boundaries for myself. I feel we should all always set a boundary for ourselves and make sure that we respect that enough that we hold other people accountable for that. I feel we may have a set of standards for ourselves, but we don't always hold people accountable for that and sometimes that can mess up your mental relationship with them. So I always say your mental relationship.

Speaker 2 20:56

Yes, it may affect how you mentally think about each like, how you think about that person, but you guys still interact the same.

Speaker 1 21:03

When you say mentally think right, because I'm whoa, I did. Yeah, you did. So what I'm doing part yeah, and I'm like yo like, is there another way to?

Speaker 2 21:12

think my thing is, like you said. You are the emotional support. Why the hell would you put me down? Why?

Speaker 1 21:21

Well, I'm not putting you down.

Speaker 2 21:22

You don't know that this is your show. Are you telling me how I feel?

Speaker 1 21:25

No, I'm not, I shouldn't.

Speaker 2 21:29

You have to make sure you respect yourself to make sure you hold other people accountable?

Speaker 1 21:34

I like how you just made me the entire example she was like no, guys, no, because you started. She was like I'm going to fight back. Watch this guy Prove an example.

Speaker 2 21:44

I just punched a nigga in his throat. He was talking shit. He hoped for a pill. I had to put it down. She's like I need a new emotional support host. Old Nates would have been like OK, whatever, no, we're not doing that shit right now. I don't like that.

Speaker 1 22:01

But how mentally think about it though?

Speaker 2 22:08

Hear me out Because you know what?

Speaker 1 22:10

Because you can mentally think Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You're talking in caps again, All caps. We spoke about that one too. And when you get hype, whatever God damn it, you know why? Because I got the headphones on and you got the headphones on, which is even worse because you hear yourself screaming at yourself.

Speaker 2 22:36

No, because you lowered it, so now it just sounds like a regular tone.

Speaker 1 22:38

So let's explain the setup. Basically right. So we sit in a car, we have one pair of headphones. This is the five dollar. We on the five dollar budget. This is the five dollar budget.

Speaker 2 22:46

Speaker 2 22:49

What makes it five? That's not the point.

Speaker 1 22:50

You got to listen to some podcasts. I would say, what makes it five dollars? Just the fact that we sitting in the car, just in general.

Speaker 2 22:55

OK, got you. We sitting in the car and in the back of somebody's lot.
