It's a combo, all right, so listen. So, keeping it consistent, because again I'm jaded. I did hear a fellow podcaster talk about our name is the Brunch Owl, but we don't talk about brunch and I'm still salty. I'm still salty, like whatever I digress. Um, so we're gonna start off with brunch, as we have in the last four or five episodes. But, um, yeah, so we're gonna start off with brunch. Um, this morning we woke up, thankfully yeah, thank you, woke up another broken egg another broken egg, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna let Ryan take it away.

Ryan 2:50

I enjoyed it. I'll be honest. I kind of had a cheat code. I got family here in Charlotte, so shout out to Brandon. You know one of my cousins and we're just kicking it so far. I told him about the show and what we do and stuff like that and he was like you know what? I need to check out another Broken Egg. Therefore, we did. I know we got a whole system going on so I don't want to jump ahead.

Styles 3:13

I know what I mean. We can do it. What I think we should do basically is just, you know, on a scale of one to five, you know, outside of everything else, so it does include, you know, the interior and all of that Service food. You know, blah, blah, blah. Let me stop because I'm about to do something else. It's not appropriate. It's not appropriate. Anyway, jay joined us on our out a little brunch thing too. Shout-outs to Donnie, because Donnie was like yo, you guys should invite all of the guests to brunch. And I'm like all of the guests might not want to go to brunch. And then I was like we asked Jay. Jay jumped at it. So shout-outs to Donnie because you know she's outside touching the people she knows better than we do, because I'm like I wouldn't, y'all motherfuckers wouldn't never show up.

Styles 4:05

I've been like, yeah, y'all work it out. Yeah, I'm going to hit you with questions like what's your favorite brunch for me, yeah, that's it. That's all you're getting from me. Um, we're going to start with the guests. What do?

Jay 4:18

you have? What shrimp? What is it? Shrimp and grits.

Styles 4:22

You don't know, I'm turning this motherfucker the fuck out of here.

Jay 4:26

I had the shrimp and grits.

Multiple PPL 4:30

Show up like Show up, flapping his back and he can't pet it.

Styles 4:33

He's like God. Is that you? Is that you God? This motherfucker? I'm sorry.

Jay 4:40

Nah, but it was good. The shrimp and grits was good. I had a Bloody Mary to wash it down. It was very good and I won't.

Styles 4:47

I do want to say that I had to put some salt and pepper on it, on what?

Jay 4:51

on my uh Bloody Mary, no on my shrimp. And grits.

Ryan 4:54

That's wild salt and pepper on a Bloody Mary.

Styles 4:56

I'm just saying there was a whole like celery sticking that would yeah, with bacon, celery carrot.

Jay 5:03

It was a lot of stuff in there.

Styles 5:04

Yeah, it was like a V8 without alcohol.

Petra 5:07

Yeah, that's what I said.

Styles 5:07

I was like who wants a?

Petra 5:08

V8 without alcohol.

Jay 5:09

I do not want that, bloody Mary might have been better than the meal, but hey, oh shit, damn, all right, that was wild, nah, I'm just saying that was wild.

Styles 5:19

We walked out, we went and knowing the difference, he definitely scraped the plate.

Jay 5:23

The food was good. One to five. One to five. I'm going to have to give it a four because I had to add my own seasonings to it. Copy that, yeah, fair.

Styles 5:32

Copy that, copy that. Yeah, and getting back to the Bloody Mary, I don't know about y'all, but I've never seen a black man drink a Bloody Mary. I'm just saying.

Petra 5:40

I haven't either. He's the only black man. I know that drinks a Bloody Mary.

Jay 5:44

So I got it from now, Like when I was, you know, first getting making my bones in this drinking thing. Pause, Because I know Styles was waiting on me.

Styles 5:53

Amen to that. If you know, you know.

Jay 5:57

But yeah, the first guy that I, you know, the first black guy that I saw drink Bloody Mary, he was, you know. I asked him. I said, man, what is that? And he told me and I was like it's tomato juice. He was like, yeah, but it's not bad, it's pretty good or whatever. So I tried Bloody Mary and I liked it. So I've been drinking them ever since. So I actually got that from a black guy man.

Ryan 6:20

Oh, all right, right, that's interesting. Yeah, I had the. What I had, oh, I had the cinnamon roll french toast folks. So I broke my streak, got out of the chicken and waffles for once.

Styles 6:33

I almost ordered it, but instead Shadra ordered the chicken and waffles to hold us down out of betrayal, so we didn't. Yeah, the group didn't break the streak. You broke your personal streak, I broke my personal street, but we're still ordering fucking chicken and waffles. It's still making its way to our table, yeah.

Ryan 6:49

Somehow.

Styles 6:49

Somehow someway, yeah, and then I fucked up and let Ryan order first, so he got the cinnamon crunch French toast and I was like, yeah, that looks good because I'm not a strawberry guy, but they had the strawberry pound cake, something or other. Somebody's catching a toothache somewhere right now. But they had the strawberry pound cake, French toast. I was like that shit sounds good, looks good, but I don't like strawberries, yeah you know. So I went with the cinnamon toast crunch.

Petra 7:20

Cinnamon roll French toast.

Multiple PPL 7:22

Yeah.

Ryan 7:22

I didn't go for it. I mean one to five. I mean I give it like, I give it like a four. I mean, granted, you know, I guess it's common sense, but it is legit, like eating a cinnamon roll for breakfast. So that may not be something I'ma go to every time, but yeah, they got me on a drink, though, cause I had like the apple pie.

Styles 7:41

Uh, mimosa, mimosa, uh-huh. My guy, that was fucking, uh, moscato yo, I'm dead ass, you think I'm playing. I'm not playing, I'm that shit bro, it didn't taste like that.

Ryan 7:54

It tastes like peach moscato but in the waiter's effect I forgot his name. He was such a great uh waiter. Yeah, in his defense, when you ask him what do you suggest, he said I don't drink. But what's been selling off the charts here is such and such, and some lemon blueberry drink that Chandra ended up getting Right, and some other drink. He never said yo, man, I think that apple pie, mimosa, up your alley Nah.

Styles 8:20

he definitely did. Matter of fact, nah he definitely did.

Ryan 8:22

Matter of fact, styles Matter. He perfectly said you know what? I'm ignorant, I'm stubborn. I'm going to go get the apple pie anyway.

Multiple PPL 8:30

You know, when I edit this bitch I'm going to be like snitch this dude's a snitch.

Styles 8:32

Matter of fact I might just do the voiceover. No, I'm going to have Peachy come in and do the voiceover.

Ryan 8:40

You got to get the voice, the bus sound effect, yeah, and then we're going to have to do the unsolved mystery voice and shit.

Styles 8:44

I mean, like this motherfucker he did, and I did go against the system. I was like I'm not fucking with that, let me get. I had to be different. You know, I had to be different and I paid for it, literally, yeah. And for the price? The price was actually decent because, you know, I paid for me and my wife and it was like 53 bucks. You know, I paid for me and my wife and it was like 53 bucks, you know, and that was for, you know, a full plate of food and drinks. Two, actually two drinks, yeah.

Petra 9:11

I didn't have the pleasure of going with y'all, but I've been there several times and I love it.

Styles 9:15

All right, we just need you to promise that you're going next time I will.

Petra 9:20

Trust me, I wanted to, but it might not have been pretty, so I wasn't gonna subject y'all to that.

Styles 9:23

You know what it was so crazy is that I can't see you because jesus christ is sitting in the middle. Thank you, thank you so let me, let's talk about. Let's talk. Let's talk about this. So I've been friends online, friends balls with jay christian for about, I want to say, a solid five years. It's been about five years, no.

Styles 9:49

Somewhere in there In my line Four to five. It's about five, about five. Cool, we all doing funny math. So, and J Christian's a Leo like myself. So when I showed up, you know, and ryan just rolled up, it was good, look down. Your man got the the barney rubble slides with the gucci logo on it, right, and then we started making our way up. Pause, I was not eyeing this man like that, I promise you. Then you got the big body watch on. I'm like, oh okay, so weak. Then he got the Gucci shades on, talking about yeah, I got the. Where'd you get the shirt from? He got the shirt from Target. This motherfucker.

Styles 10:31

He was like give me the $400 shades and give me that shirt from Target.

Petra 10:36

You got to make it make sense somewhere. I ain't mad at you.

Styles 10:39

Those are the ones that.

Petra 10:40

I was going to get too I actually did you get the shirt?

Styles 10:43

over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%, 100%. But yeah, dapper Dude, you know, pause, I wasn't eyeing him like that, I promise you and all of that. You know what I've been, what we've been blessed in, is bumping into people, inviting the people on the show, like our online friends and them being the people that they are online in real life.

Ryan 11:06

They come through, so how? They carry themselves online is how they are in real life Once again.

Styles 11:13

I know you said shout out to Donnie, shout out to Donnie. It's funny because every show after Donnie is like shout out to Donnie for something.

Ryan 11:18

It was dope Stand-up person. This is my first time meeting Jay in person as well. I haven't followed him as long as you have online, but you know I always, you know, thought his concerts pretty dope, uh same with uh petra, and it's been cool to meet him in person that's a big fact.

Styles 11:34

Yeah, that's a. That's a big fact. Um, all right, so I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give because I didn't get my score. I'm gonna give it a four, right, so I Right. So I think, you know, I think ha-ha, that's funny Because it's four, four, four. So, basically, see what I did there, see what I did there Jay Z pun, of course. New York, it's going to happen. Brooklyn, brooklyn, all right. Main course, it's time to eat. What's on your mind?

Styles 12:02

It's time to eat what's on your mind, all right, so it might seem like I'm moving it past this, but I think that the main course is actually going to be one of the longer segments that we've had, because we got a couple of things to cover. Fair, all right, we got a couple of things to cover. One of the things is this First of all, let's talk about how we even come up with these topics. So we have, fuck y'all. We're not doing that because there's other podcasts that might be like yo, how'd you-?

Petra 12:26

I was going to explain, but I'm not.

Styles 12:28

Yeah, basically I'm not about that. I wish somebody would jump in my DMs and say oh Styles, check it out. I listen to X, y and Z, and I think that you should do enough. But that's fine, that's fine. That's fine because I'm outside um anyway, all right. So here's, here's a good one, all right. So don't think about it in terms of a relationship that you're either currently in or past. Okay right, so you can pretty much go either way. I grew up I want to I want to.

Ryan 13:09

I grew up what you said, it was a split second.

Learning to Be a Better Partner

Styles 13:11

I was like matter of fact, we probably got the audience trained. They probably like yeah, thank you. Thank you, so if you said pause two seconds ago, I appreciate you anyway. Um, how did you learn to be a husband and wife? That's the question I'm going to just toss it up.

Ryan 13:31

I'll jump in first. Of course, normally we'll have ladies go first, but maybe you want to hear answers first and think about your answers and so forth. I really feel like I learned to be a better husband, basically just by really buying into the idea of putting your partner first. You know, you know I could laugh at it now, but of course it wasn't funny back then. But, like I remember one small example.

Ryan 13:58

I remember I'm coming straight home from work, I'm hungry, we don't got no groceries in the crib and instead of going grocery shopping, I go to Five Guys. It's expensive as hell, but one of my favorite places to go. I called my wife once. I didn't get an answer. So of course, instead of ordering something for my wife, I come home with just the greasy-ass bag, the big-ass burger fries, all for me, and then she's like you know, you got, you know, two people living here and I'm like I called but nobody answered and of course that was a whole big blow up. But you know, that's the smallest I can laugh at now.

Ryan 14:35

But my whole point is like you fully, once you fully buy into thinking about your partner first, I think it really helps. So so of course, I never made that mistake again and it's like it's almost like you know, automatically it's like I, the moment I leave work hey, I'm leaving work, you need something? And that's just. With anything we could be in the house and I'm. You know, we have some like downtime where we just wanted to. Maybe I want to veg out on the ps5, maybe she wants to veg out on one of her shows. Before I go downstairs now, I'll go in the room. Hey, I'm going to go downstairs. Fix me a sandwich or something. Do you need anything? And that's just a small example. Oh, she fucked you up.

Styles 15:15

Yeah, that day that you came home without that fool.

Jay 15:18

You got Joe Asby.

Petra 15:20

I'm like yo, I'm about to go to the bathroom, you want to go first? That was a turning point in y'all relationship.

Styles 15:25

Yo, for real. He said, the day I learned how to be selfless. Yeah, instead of selfish.

Ryan 15:31

Yeah. But even like on a more serious, on a bigger kind of things, like if I go out with a fella or something like that, like even when she's not around, it's like I definitely don't want to disrespect my marriage, I don't want to disrespect her whether she's here in front of me or not. So if I go out with the fellas I'm not fucking around trying to flirt to see if I still got it. None of that shit. Like I went out with my cousin last night. You know he's not married but he's in a very committed relationship as well. It's just two cousins catching up.

Styles 16:00

Ain't none of this. Hey, man man, you know you can't include the cousins well, I mean, it's an honest story.

Ryan 16:06

Nah, I understand, but you can't include the cousins fair, fair, but my whole point is, whether you're in the presence of your partner or not, always think about them first and just, just, in every sense of the word, that's my answer okay, nah, man nah I got that.

Styles 16:20

Anybody want to add to that? Aw shit.

Jay 16:23

Anybody want to answer that? Oh shit, what was the question? Oh shit.

Styles 16:27

That was crazy.

Jay 16:29

Can you repeat the question I?

Styles 16:30

got you. No, no, no, it's cool. What'd you get from what he said?

Jay 16:34

Yeah, I agree, no, go ahead.

Styles 16:39

You're about to do a thing.

Jay 16:41

No, I agree with what he said. It makes complete and total sense.

Ryan 16:46

I totally agree because I learned how to be. Oh, of course.

Jay 16:50

Yeah of course, but I learned how to be a good partner, husband, whatever, by through trial and error, by fucking up, you know having to be corrected.

Jay 17:02

I guess you would say and you know, I think that it's important that we as men can be transparent in that and share that, because you know it's easy to say well, yeah, I had a good example. I didn't have a good example, my daddy wasn't around. You know what I'm saying, so I had to learn through trial and error. I had to fuck up a lot, but then you know once, then, once I started getting and I'm still learning, I'm still improving, I still have room for improvement, alright, I dig it, Especially the part with your dad not being around, because I had the same situation.

Styles 17:38

There were other male figures in my life, but I can't say that that was the blueprint to life in terms of learning how to be a better man to your partner. You know, because my house wasn't broken. I didn't have a broken home, you know, I just had a lot of individuals that played a part in, you know, me seeing what a healthy relationship was. You know, and I almost want to say to their credit, but yeah, to their credit, I knew, I knew what was bad, you know what I mean. Nice little change. You lean back. I was like whoa, whoa, whoa.

Jay 18:17

Cause I was like okay, Yup yup, yup.

Petra 18:19

Where it's all, where it's all, man.

Styles 18:22

He put the brakes on, gave me the side eye like I'm coming back, nigga you see this right, Don't catch me.

Ryan 18:30

Please don't catch me.

Styles 18:35

He's like I had every intention of leaving back nigga, Move it or lose it. Yeah, I didn't have any. I didn't have that. You know I'm not going to take you guys down memory lane with regards to my upbringing because it's on previous shows. Go run the numbers up. But yeah, I didn't have. I didn't have that either when I I became oh, I'm a husband, oh, I'm a husband. Now I'm a husband. So a lot of selfless acts I learned I don't even want to say I learned that I brought those with me when I came into the relationship Because outside of that, I didn't want to become a husband until I was able to bring those tools to the relationship. You know, those habits, those behaviors to the relationship. I was a very selfish dude as well, you know, but not maliciously. I didn't have.

Styles 19:33

I wasn't malicious with my selfishness, right, right right you know self-preservation me first, you second, I think that's most men.

Petra 19:41

when they come into situations they're so used to doing for themselves and being by themselves it's hard for them to remember hey, you have a person now that thinks about you when they go outside, and so you need to do the same thing.

Styles 19:53

Well, I'm glad you said that I was a little different. I was actually looking for that person that I can actually pour into, like that, because in my case and I'm not going gonna speak for all the fellas, right, because everybody's hard out there, um, I'm not gonna speak for all the fellas, but in my case I wanted, I was looking for somebody that I can be vulnerable with.

Styles 20:14

Yeah, and the reason why I was looking for that person that I could be vulnerable with is because life is fucking hard it is you understand I'm saying and once you realize that you're carrying around the weight of everything, you're like nah, I need to sit down. You understand what I'm saying and I need somebody to rub my back without me asking can you rub my back? You know, I need somebody to understand what's wrong before me actually having to fill out a questionnaire as to what's wrong, right, right. So I was actively looking for that. Now, in the process of looking for that, of course, I was hurt a lot and I've hurt a lot, like what I did there Smooth transition.

Styles 20:58

Like that. Okay, boss, boss, see, I don't have to, um, I'm not even looking for it because I'll fuck up the show. But, um, yeah, I don't have to, I'm not even looking for it, I'll fuck up the show. But yeah, I learned that, I think with my son's mom. I learned how because it was everything that I didn't want, if that makes sense that turned into my, my wants. Those are my wants. You want to know what I want. Let me tell you what I don't want and just apply the opposite to that, yeah, right, right.

Ryan 21:26

And just to add what you're saying in terms of, like you know, being vulnerable, I think, once again, I can't speak for every man, but just from my perspective, I do feel like it's a big step when a man can be vulnerable to their, you know, girlfriend, wife, whatever the case. Whatever the case, because it's like for me personally, I feel like for whatever. If you're vulnerable about whatever your insecurities are or your shortcomings are, the moment y'all have that big blow up fight, I think one of my personal fears would be you know, it's thrown back in my face now Like I share something in confidence with you. Yeah, we get into a big spat for whatever reason. And next thing, you know, it's like I don't know that's why, know that's why, that's why that's why you're a girl without a dad or whatever the case is. It's like shit. You know, I told you that in confidence, I told you how to fuck me up and here you go, saying this time to third.

Styles 22:14

I got a question like ladies, do you understand that you can literally fuck a dude up, emotionally Demolish? Them yeah you can really kill everything about that dude. Fuck, yeah, fuck yeah, especially if that person comes to you and they're like listen, that person, that's vulnerable. So you have to be very careful with who you're vulnerable with. Yeah, right, and it's not easy to tell who you can be vulnerable with versus who you can't be.

Ryan 22:47

And that's a scary thing. It's trial and error with that.

Styles 22:50

Super bro, it's like insane, because if I pour everything into you, just speaking to your point, you just like flip it on me like all right, nigga, Fuck, nigga. Like you wasn't, you ain't have a dad Right.

Multiple PPL 23:02

You know what I'm saying. Like you ain't have a dad, Right? You know what I'm saying.

Styles 23:05

Right, your uncle's uncle taught you how to ride a bike.

Multiple PPL 23:08

Right, your uncle's uncle, get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Styles 23:12

Right, you ain't got a job. You ain't got a job, it's everything that you don't have. But what's so crazy about that whole argument? Because I'm not looking at an incredibly successful person on the other side of this conversation and they forget that that hurts, right but that hurts when you give it back to them oh yeah, but the thing is, though, you don't even have to, because it's an argument that you can't win because that person is convicted.

Styles 23:35

So, whatever you, whatever, however, however, it is that they feel about you in that moment is coming out, yeah if they're throwing jabs at you and things that you've told them in confidence.

Petra 23:45

they don't really have any other tools in their argument sheet. They don't have anything intellectual or substantial to really hold up against the argument, so they have to go below the belt. And when you're with somebody that you love, you're not supposed to go below the belt, even if you want to think that shit in your head and say what's necessary. Whatever y'all discussing or arguing about, talk about that. Don't bring out no blow blows. I don't believe in that. I don't believe in that Because I myself learned how to be a wife from looking at what people did and I didn't want to do that.

Petra 24:21

I knew that I ain't like that. And then I had an older brother who, my mom, was very heavy in their relationship. So once I got married I knew don't come over here. Don't come over here with that BS. You don't need to know everything that's going on in our house. You don't need to know every move that's being made. None of it. Don't come over here with that. He can pay for everything, but why should he? If I can pay for it too, why should he? Why y'all got a joint account? Why don't y'all have a joint account. You'll be acting up. I want my husband to like me at all times.

Petra 24:57

You know, so I didn't want to go through some of the trials and tribulations I saw people go through that were around me.

Multiple PPL 25:06

Right.

Petra 25:07

So I learned how to navigate through that. I went in with the mindset that I'm going to be different from that. I'm going to do things different and I have a joke about on our podcast. I grew up in New Jersey in an apartment building and I used to see people get their ass whooped every Friday like clockwork and I was like, why do you be at the house? Leave like he get home at 507 and you gonna be there waiting and you know you're gonna get your ass whooped at 8 10. I'm not gonna be home, I'm gonna figure out another way. So I knew going in there were certain things I wouldn't. I wasn't gonna be in no fighting relationship, right. I wasn't gonna be arguing and up and down the street and all that kind of stuff. Like I just certain things. I came in, we spoke about it and it just didn't happen because we were both committed to not having those types of relationships. Yeah, yeah.

Ryan 25:55

And that's key too, what you're talking about, Like I know. You know, of course, for those who may not be aware by now, social media is really just posting your highlights, right, you know, like you know. But also, especially if you're on Facebook or whatever app you're using, the moment you post whatever bullshit your partner's going through or something like that, that's when your comments and your DMs may be blowing up, because it's just people like drama.

Multiple PPL 26:22

You know what?

Ryan 26:22

I'm saying Like you could be like. You know, my my, really uh, one of my best friends, he was joking with me. One day he does like this travel podcast thing you know, go through the same travel tribulation that most content creators go to. He'll post his trip to uh dubai or something, maybe get like five, six comments, a few likes. But he was like, but ryan, let me post. Uh, hey, I found my girl. I found out my wife cheated on me. All of a sudden she'd be like like, oh shit, what happened?

Jay 26:51

Shit is viral Right.

Petra 26:52

Exactly.

Multiple PPL 26:53

So it's just people like drama.

Ryan 26:55

So to your point, like you brought up, that's why you don't need to have everybody in your business. Yeah, some things just need to be left to just handle behind closed doors.

Styles 27:04

Yeah, it's funny, because people don't want sanitary. You understand what I'm saying. They want that shit as dirty as possible. Fuck it, which is crazy.

Jay 27:13

So I did want to share this. I want to share this real quick, a quick story. I remember this is what I think helped me to kind of embrace the role of being the head, being the leader, being the man. So, growing up with not having a good example of what I did, actually I did have a good example, let me not lie. My grandfather was a great example okay, did everything Could build a bike, a house, cook, hunt, whatever, right but and I saw that firsthand but in my immediate home like there wasn't like father or son.

Jay 27:52

Fast forward to my first marriage, right, I remember distinctly there was an issue we had like a brick fence around our home with like light posts, like on the gate entryway. So one night, for some reason, this shit just breaks into a fire, shit. And you know I'm standing there and so I didn't know what to do. You know I'm saying I went to prison at a very young age and so here I am, I'm home now, I'm married, but I still, I'm still trying to figure this thing out, right? So I I turned to my then wife and I say the the the thing is on fire. What am I supposed to do? What are we gonna do like what? What are we gonna do? Yeah, and she looked at me. She said I don't know you, the man.

Styles 28:42

wow, I felt that big bro, felt that big paul, but I need to stop, but it was in that moment I need to stop because I was caught up in the moment and I'm like, yeah, I see, I see how some people are like that's childish, I'm gonna still do it.

Jay 28:59

I'm gonna still do it because I feel like they need clarity but go ahead and finish what you were saying, but no, so it was in that very moment that I kind of was like damn and like she wasn't like trying to be mean or disrespectful. It was a matter of factly statement Right yeah, and it was just kind of like damn, I am the man of this house.

Multiple PPL 29:19

It was a low blow. It hurt me like god damn.

Jay 29:22

So then I was like okay, you know what I got to be more, you know what I'm saying. Like take charge of things. Like, even if I don't know what to do, I'm supposed to find out what to do.

Styles 29:33

But see, that's where you're wrong. But hold on though. I disagree with that a little bit. Okay, because the thing is this right, I had to actually partner with somebody who knew how to be a partner. Okay, not a partner in a relationship, just a partner.

Jay 29:48

Okay, not a partner in a relationship Mm-hmm, just a partner in general, just a partner in anything you understand what I'm saying, because we're going to divvy up the responsibilities.

Multiple PPL 29:54

There's no gender role when you're divvying up responsibilities in business, right? I do agree with that.

Styles 29:58

yes, so we're doing that, right, it's the same thing with regards to. It's the same thing regards to a relationship, right, you know? Because if we have a kid, if you're not around, I'm expected to change this kid's pampers. Absolutely, it's not a woman's job, you know what I'm saying. It's not Now my wife will never take out garbage as long as I'm around. You know shit like that, but as it relates to business like how the fuck are we supposed to get ahead? Because, remember, the household is a business.

Multiple PPL 30:25

People don't view it as such which is why a lot of them yeah a lot of people fail.

Styles 30:29

Yeah, it's a business, right. So if I'm like, all right, cool, he going to be the breadwinner this is not the 1950s, you could do that then. Right, and this is why we're so fucked up as far as like just regular economics today. Right, because inflation outpaces salary, which makes no fucking sense. But then we sit here and we're like you know what? That shit doesn't make any sense, but we run our houses the same way, the same way, same business model, and everything Go ahead. Jay, what you was about to say.

Jay 30:58

I feel what you're saying. You're basically saying that whoever has the strength in that particular area should handle that particular thing I agree. I agree with that. I do too. So the problem with me wasn't the fact that I didn't know what to do as much as it was the fact that I panicked.

Ryan 31:16

Okay, yeah, I was about to say that's a big difference.

Jay 31:18

You know what I mean.

Ryan 31:19

Like, for example, to your point, jay like it's like you know, it has to happen. Knock on If me and my wife are in the house and I hear I don't know, like maybe something fell in the kitchen or something like that. Yeah, I'm, you know, I'm not going to be like, hey, tanisha, go check that out. Exactly, it's going to be on me.

Jay 31:39

You got to be the one to do it. You know what I mean.

Ryan 31:41

It might be some scary shit, but you're not going to panic.

Communication and Partnership in Relationships

Jay 31:43

I'm going downstairs and see what happens, and that was the thing. So, more so than just the fact that, you know, I didn't know what to do Hell, she didn't know what to do either, but it was a panic. I panicked, I didn't, I didn't approach this situation from a place of all right, let's go.

Multiple PPL 31:58

Let's figure it out. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Jay 32:01

Let's get the fire extinguisher. Put this out, call somebody, find out what you know what I mean, right?

Ryan 32:06

so that's a big difference between the panic and the general thing.

Jay 32:09

Yeah, exactly so so it was you know, and so I do agree with what you said. It it it's not necessarily a thing that just because I'm, but as the man I've, I have the mindset that, okay, I gotta figure this shit out now. If she's more equipped to handle that situation and she speaks up and and cool and all right, that's a good idea, let's do it. But no longer, no more, will I panic and allow myself to kind of like not, instead of searching for a solution, just be kind of like like a deer stuck in the head like that's all.

Ryan 32:37

I've been faced with that same situation before too, and it was talked about. Hey, you know, if you panic me as your wife, I'm gonna be like okay holy shit.

Multiple PPL 32:49

It's more of that type of role, yeah, yeah no, you know, I'm coming to you.

Styles 32:55

It's just that jesus christ is blocking us right now. You know what I?

Petra 32:59

mean. No, I actually agree with all of you fellas like and that's part of you know the issue, because I'm I'm not always a girl's girl and I agree with you guys. I feel like it should be partnership. Nobody has no one role in the household. Everybody takes a part and does something, and we had a lot of kids. We had to do everything. You had to be masterful at everything. So I just think if you want to be with somebody and you want it to work, you have to be able to not be selfish, because you definitely should have bought that bag. I can't let it go. I cannot believe you came in that house without that and one phone.

Ryan 33:39

Call One phone call, One phone call and it was my favorite burger. Just the plain bacon cheeseburger. None of that sauce. Just give me the plain bacon cheeseburger.

Petra 33:46

Is that kind of? Does she eat that too Well, and cheeseburger? None of that sauce.

Ryan 33:49

Does she eat that too? Well, she's trying to be a little healthier, so she gets the lettuce wrap.

Petra 33:53

That's what made it worse. I know what she likes. That's what made it worse. That's what made it worse. You get it, even if you don't think she's going to eat it. Why set yourself up for failure?

Styles 34:02

I feel like it happened yesterday because his memory is too clear. On it, he's on it. He's like it will never happen again.

Multiple PPL 34:08

You won't catch me slipping again.

Jay 34:09

And.

Petra 34:10

I applaud him for that. I applaud him for that.

Jay 34:13

Go ahead no.

Styles 34:13

No no no, you see how he slid up on the mic, boss, because he knows he's like you. Ain't got the sound Flip it, on it Whatever. On. It all right, no, but.

Petra 34:26

I'm the type of person when it comes to stuff like that, like if I'm not married, right this second, but if I'm with somebody or whatever if I'm going to eat, I'm going to make sure that you have food. If I'm going to drink, I'm going to make sure you have a drink, or whatever. So it will upset me to this day.

Ryan 34:43

If your man comes home, if he comes and he's got one box of food or one thing of food.

Styles 34:48

Your beard smells like burgers.

Petra 34:50

Yes, and I take you going to eat without me. Personally, I take it personal.

Jay 34:55

That's the thing too. Like to speak to your point and your point. For me it was because I've been in that situation, you know where it's like, I call and you know there's no answer and I'm like, well, I'm going to get some Jamaican food. But I don't even know what you would eat from the Jamaican spot, so I can't really get you make that shit up so.

Jay 35:14

So what I had, so what I had to do was I had to take the make the effort of paying attention and learning what you like and what you eat when you go to certain spots. Yeah, you know what I mean. And so if it's like, if I say, well damn, I want some cuisine tonight, if I don't know what you like from the Indian spot, maybe I should defer to Jamaican, you know?

Petra 35:32

what I'm saying Right right right, that's a good point, you know what I mean yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. Little things matter, yeah, like people don't realize.

Styles 35:39

But something that simple as knowing what your partner eats from just about I think we need to stop saying little as it relates to things, because that's a misnomer. Those are big things. Yeah, like the little big things Probably. Yeah, because I did.

Petra 35:55

I was like you didn't get her no food, like at the start of the story. I was like he didn't get her no food.

Ryan 35:59

Yeah, yeah, I know he didn't get her no food.

Multiple PPL 36:01

You knew the part time before I knew.

Ryan 36:12

I was like, please tell me you ain't bringing no food. So yeah, it is a big thing, yeah, it is a big oh, yeah, yeah.

Petra 36:14

But yeah, but, like I said, I think that that's lesson learned. Lesson learned.

Ryan 36:16

You didn't do it, you didn't repeat it whatever lesson line, yeah, but that's the thing I like to you know. I do like to promise of okay if I learn to learn from your mistakes, and that's how I make the same so, and that's really what, what it was, yeah, so I was like, alright, cool, that's it. It's just a dab, that's it yeah.

Unpopular Classic Songs Debate

Styles 36:36

I agree, I keep forgetting. I'm trying to get used to this whole visual thing. I'm over here texting and talking. Oh yeah, I'm trying to pay attention. I'm just rude as shit right here. My fault, my fault, I didn't. My apologies. I agree with whatever was said. All right, I feel like that's the best way to wrap it up, yeah, so let's move on to something else. I do have a. Actually this is one of Ryan's. You know we do a little roundtable discussion. What's a classic song that everyone loves but you know you hate.

Ryan 37:06

Oh yeah.

Petra 37:08

I'll start it.

Styles 37:09

I can start it.

Ryan 37:10

You know, I know we don't do backstory time a little bit. It was just a group chat we had with my, you know, sister-in-laws and stuff like that and it came up. It was discovered, for whatever reason, discovered. I like that. My sister-in-law does not consider Waterfall by TLC a classic, and that's how the conversation Same.

Styles 37:28

Wow.

Ryan 37:28

Okay, well.

Styles 37:31

I'm not going to fight y'all on it, I just I'm surprised.

Ryan 37:34

It was kind of a debate, but just to get to the point, a song that I think is a classic but I can't stand, mainly because it just sounds like an uncle just nagging like a young nigga. It's Huh by Juvenile. The whole thing sounds like Huh by Juvenile. It's classic. I don't. I never liked it, it's just some that's you with that Benz huh, that's you fucking the friends. Huh, that's you, it's classic.

Styles 37:59

You gotta think about the time that it was actually, that it actually came out was Genius and all the rappers at the time to jump on that, to do that. It was like they knew it was Gene.

Ryan 38:09

I just felt like why are you asking this young nigga all these questions? Your dick got hard, huh, you got them brawns.

Multiple PPL 38:17

That's it.

Ryan 38:17

That's my answer, yeah so. I know it's a classic. I didn't like it for that reason. It just felt like someone just nagging a young dude.

Petra 38:30

Okay, I didn't like it for that reason. It just felt like someone just nagging a young dude. Well, mine is even more of a classic and it's played everywhere, Anytime you go to any bar or barbecue whatever, I'm scared now. Montel Jordan. This is how we do it.

Jay 38:40

When I tell you I loathe that song.

Petra 38:43

I loathe it. I'm like why y'all, why we got to do it all the time, why he always here.

Styles 38:51

I don't like it Every time I come to the barbecue you at the barbecue Every time. Every time I go to the bar. You at the bar. Why you at the bar? Huh All the time.

Petra 39:01

You eating the barbecue huh, this is how we do it. It rubs me the wrong way, I don't care for it, I don't care for it. I could be jamming. It could be the best song we could be on the dance floor. Come on, I tip out like church.

Ryan 39:14

I feel like this Is how we Do it and Return of the Mack are like two songs that are just. They just cross all boundaries. I love Return of the Mack.

Jay 39:24

I was about to say. I was about to say I can deal with.

Petra 39:26

Return of the Mack, return of the Mac, but this is how we do it yo, you could be at an all white party.

Ryan 39:32

Monta Jordan, come on, everybody know it yeah, return of the Mac. Come on, everybody, you could be at a white function, black function, a mixed function, those two songs come on. It's just like it cross all racial boundaries but you know what?

Petra 39:44

it cross all boundaries, it's everywhere. So that means every time you turn your head, it's at the white party, it's at the black party, it's at every function.

Ryan 39:53

That shit was in high school like a high school prom yeah.

Petra 39:57

And I probably was early on going. I don't really like this but I can't tell anybody and I would shimmy to it then. But in my big age now I'm not participating All right.

Jay 40:10

Y at your age. Now I'm not participating. Y'all don't kill me.

Styles 40:12

Nah, go ahead.

Jay 40:13

I will always love you. By Whitney Houston.

Styles 40:16

That's not a classic.

Jay 40:18

I mean, yeah, it's a classic, but I can't stand it.

Multiple PPL 40:21

That was a question, right, yeah, that was a question. I'm surprised.

Ryan 40:26

Wait, but also.

Styles 40:27

I think that, in addition to the question, you don't consider it a classic yeah, I can't stand it, wait. But also I think that, in addition to the question, it's like you don't consider it a classic?

Jay 40:31

Yeah, I don't consider that a classic, you don't no?

Styles 40:34

No, so I have questions. Yeah, why? I mean, he's my main question. Well, that too. Hold on, let me compound and complicate that for you.

Multiple PPL 40:43

Okay.

Styles 40:51

What do you consider a classic? I consider, and then why? Okay, I consider a song a classic that.

Jay 40:52

Now I asked you to define it. Okay, you said what do I consider a classic? Yeah, what song specifically? What song? Okay, a lot of songs. Man Change Gonna Come by Sam Cooke. That's a classic.

Styles 41:02

I knew he was going to say that Heads down, heads down.

Multiple PPL 41:06

That's a classic.

Jay 41:08

There's an old song. It's called Staggerly. I don't know if you know about that one. I consider that a classic. I got to look that up. I consider, you know, sexual healing as a classic.

Styles 41:19

All right, I'm going to need you to join the decade that we're in. Okay, because you're cheating right now.

Petra 41:25

I was just saying, no, you're cheating, though I didn't know we was going back there. I was just like, yeah, this nigga's like remember when we had that 19 inch.

Styles 41:33

Sorry that nine inch black and white television Woo. Yeah, that's the classic.

Jay 41:39

This new fangled shit with the fire stick and all of that. We ain't fucking with that. Okay, so we could probably even go with the. Do we want to go with the same artist?

Styles 41:57

It doesn't matter.

Jay 41:58

Nah, we don't want to do that either.

Styles 42:00

You just don't like, whitney, it's not a thing about Whitney. We're going to put a bookmark in that and I'm not editing this out. All of this is going to be in there, bookmarking that and I'm not editing this out.

Jay 42:10

All of this is going to be in there, so just wants to know what type of beer you want. Okay, uh, corona and I will send her the money.

Styles 42:17

Copy that okay but yeah, uh.

Jay 42:20

So if we look at like something that I would consider like like new edition you know I'm saying anything by new edition, damn near, damn near. Can you Stand the Rain? Okay, sorry, you're Not my Kind of Girl.

Petra 42:33

If it Isn't Love. Which one do you hate out of all the classics In the right era? Because you in the right era. Now, what do you hate? I just told y'all you don't hate New Edition Whitney.

Jay 42:43

Houston, I will always love you. No, I will always love you. No, I will always love you.

Petra 42:48

I was about to say.

Jay 42:49

As a whole. That's it. That's it.

Petra 42:51

We can't fuck with Bobby as hard as we do and hate Whitney as a whole.

Jay 42:54

I don't. I don't hate Whitney as a whole, I just don't like that Particular song it felt like Did Whitney like Give? You the husband, when you were younger. No no. It's just that song, that song rubs me the wrong way, like for real.

Styles 43:10

But why though?

Jay 43:11

I don't know, I just didn't like it. You know what I'm saying.

Petra 43:15

Was it everywhere. It was everywhere.

Jay 43:18

I heard it too much and I got tired of it.

Styles 43:21

So was there ever a point that you liked it? No, you said you heard it too much.

Jay 43:24

Yeah but I never liked it so much. Yeah, but I never liked it. So hearing it too much and not ever liking it. Now you hate it, yeah.

Ryan 43:31

Yeah, exactly. What about you Styles A song that's a classic.

Jay 43:36

I don't have it, nah, nah, I don't have one. I honestly don't have one.

Styles 43:39

I steered at this thing for a very long time Because you put this in there about Paul, you put this in here about. I want to say yeah, and you still don't have one.

Jay 43:47

So here's the thing. If you had to make one up, you want me to guess?

Styles 43:51

Yeah, just pick one.

Petra 43:52

Just do that for the Just pick one, pull it out there.

Ryan 43:55

You're out here looking like John John, the Don's uncle.

Give me like a rap song. I like that, I like that, anything, lil Jon.

Jay 44:03

Oh, anything Lil Jon.

Ryan 44:05

You know, the pause the husband movie date, so we're riding around, and so I love Southern hip hop. I love Southern hip hop so we're riding around. You know Styles' shotgun, so I'm running up the auction.

Jay 44:29

Ryan 44:33

I got some southern songs on there. Damn, I mean not damn Young Bloods. Yeah, you don't give a damn, we don't give a fuck. Come on this man Styles. Looks at me. Lil Jon hits the chorus, or whatever he was like. Ain't that the yin yang twin nigga I was like you called him the yin yang nigga. This is not the yin yang no. I was like why you, why you disrespect Lil Jon, like that. I was like this is not the yin yang twin, it's funny yo.

Styles 45:03

Ryan laughed so fucking hard cause I think that what happened was you put the image of the yin-yang twin. He was like, yeah, them niggas got to be triplets.

Multiple PPL 45:14

They got to be triplets bro. They favor.

Styles 45:18

Yeah, and that was a thing. So anything Lil Jon, because the ad-libs I just couldn't fuck with it, like after Lovers and friends. Anything Lil Jon.

Petra 45:28

Styles 45:32

Hardest bro. I swatted that shit. She was like Get that shit out of here.

Ryan 45:36

But just Like you, just thought you like you cool with southern hip hop. You just on rock Lil Jon, okay, 100%.

Styles 45:43

I think that Luda's Probably one of the best ever.

Jay 45:45

See, no, you don't think that. Listen, I said one of the best. No, no, he's definitely underrated. He's not even in the conversation.

Styles 45:52

He's crazy, stop playing. He's top five for the South.

Petra 45:55

For the South, absolutely not All right, no, no no, absolutely not.

Jay 45:58

But what?

Petra 45:59

does he say you are I mean he's in the talking about.

Jay 46:07

Are you serious?

Multiple PPL 46:10

I am not talking about record sales.

Jay 46:12

I just, I just went to, like, like last year, went to janet jackson and lou the concert he played. He played all the hits, the whole catalog, and it was no, all the hits and it was cool, you know just cool you know I'm saying, but it's like so here's the thing. Like his style of hip-hop doesn't appeal to me, it's too all animated.

Styles 46:28

You know what I'm saying. So who's your top five? Not even top five, you don't even have to give me a top five in the South, but who's your favorite?

Jay 46:36

Andre 3000.

Styles 46:37

Oh, 100%, yeah, 100%. I can't argue with that. You know what?

Ryan 46:41

He don't have a solo album, but I can't argue with that.

Jay 46:44

We talking about him, scarface TI.

Styles 46:48

Oh, technically, hold on he does have a the Love Below.

Jay 46:55

It was a double album.

Styles 46:56

Him and you know.

Petra 46:58

Those guys, man, but you don't, I don't know how you put it.

Jay 47:03

You never heard me say play that Luda shit. You never heard me play Luda, play Luda, luda, comes on, luda, comes on, like you are so right luda comes on and I changed that shit now luda nice man.

Styles 47:15

Wow. Yeah, luda, I don't agree with shauna.

Petra 47:17

You forgot shauna yeah, yeah, she's still out there doing her thing, yo ever since she was in the little 85 nigga.

Jay 47:25

What was it? I-85 or something I? I don't know.

Ryan 47:29

Oh, I-90. I-90. No, I-20.

Jay 47:32

I-20. I'm not saying that Y'all talking about the I-95, man we was about to take it this far. Listen, the only one out of that whole little DTP that I ever really fucked with was Titty Boy, which is 2 Chainz, and I don't even like that.

Multiple PPL 47:45

I don't even like that post.

Styles 47:47

That's why I was like man when he did Duffel Bag Boy. The only reason I like that is because Wayne was on it.

Jay 47:54

Not because he was on it, but I like chains, though you know what I'm saying.

Styles 47:58

I like chains, but he had to grow one. You are disqualified as having an opinion.

Jay 48:09

No over and I know it's probably an unpopular opinion, but I like 2 Chainz over.

Multiple PPL 48:11

Luda, I don't think that's possible.

Petra 48:15

I just feel like Luda put a stamp. He did it again.

Jay 48:19

I had to catch myself, I caught myself. But I'm trying to.

Multiple PPL 48:24

He did.

Petra 48:25

He did like get your ass.

Styles 48:27

Nigga tried to hit me with the no look, because he wasn't even looking.

Petra 48:31

But I just think Luda he, he paved a way For these guys To be animated and everything, and Even when he People don't really Listen to him, when he's not animated, but he actually Is a very good lyricist.

Jay 48:45

Like I never liked him 100%. I agree, I I don't dislike them.

Styles 48:49

Nah, his lyrics was crazy.

Petra 48:50

He was on everything, he was featured on everything okay, so ti and luda had a b-ball king of the south, absolutely, and, and, and you know, take it back to like some some. There are a lot of examples I could give you, tr and.

Jay 49:28

Luda had a b-ball at King of the South. Absolutely. Take it back to. There are a lot of examples I could give you of people who were well known and everybody flocked to them. Look, there was a time Mike Jones was the hottest motherfucker around.

Ryan 49:42

But am I lying?

Styles 49:44

Am I lying?

Multiple PPL 49:46

You're not lying at all and he was trash, but I knew he was trash.

Petra 49:49

Yeah, he was trash.

Styles 49:50

But I knew he was trash.

Debating Classic and Modern Hip Hop

Petra 49:51

But Luda ain't trash. You can't put Mike Jones in Luda's head and say he got damn right Yo 100%.

Styles 49:57

Mike Jones needs to be in a conversation to hip hop each and every time. 8-0-0-4.

Ryan 50:02

Listen no, but I'm going to tell y'all who I would listen to over Mike Jones any day.

Styles 50:08

Jay 50:10

Jay 50:16

Styles 50:20

Jay 50:23

Ryan 50:30

Nah, but you like Quan over Luda. Yeah, I like Quan over Luda, absolutely. That's all they didn't know, Absolutely.

Jay 50:33

That's cool, yeah, that's cool. Like I could play you a Luda track and then a Quan track. Right now, the Quan track gonna be it's gonna hit different, though, yeah it's gonna hit very different, but they made Now Luda. Luda was fucking the bitches, Arguably he.

Multiple PPL 50:53

It was like party music, it was club music, it was a vibe. I give him that you can't argue that.

Jay 50:55

No, I'm saying, I'm saying I give him that I would stand that point for him. But like anything else man.

Petra 51:01

You just wasn't riding in your car listening to Luda?

Jay 51:03

No, I never been like Play.

Multiple PPL 51:06

He said Play that.

Styles 51:07

Styles 51:14

You leaning back, you not leaning back what you doing, so after I.

Jay 51:16

So here's the thing I got you my fault, my fault, my fault.

Styles 51:19

We gotta, we gotta, come up With a little rhythm.

Multiple PPL 51:23

I got the rhythm, the. Moment.

Ryan 51:24

The moment you say you listen to Rich Homie Quan over Luda.

Multiple PPL 51:27

I can't argue with you man.

Ryan 51:28

You just got your opinion, and that's it. I have my yeah, that's it, but.

Styles 51:31

But there's only one song from Rich Homie Quan that I listen to, just one. No, not even that one, because I don't understand them niggas. But I'm talking about the other one with With Young Thug.

Ryan 51:42

Yeah, my type of the lifestyle.

Multiple PPL 51:46

No, not lifestyle Type of way, type of way, that's it.

Styles 51:48

I'll go downstairs right now and play that shit Like I'm ready to listen to it right now.

Jay 51:53

But that's it though.

Styles 51:54

After that, I don't want nothing else. I'm good.

Jay 51:56

I get it. I'm just saying for me, no disrespect to Luda Area Codes, I mean, and that was Come on you was a pretty boy.

Styles 52:04

You know who made that song.

Jay 52:05

You know who made that song. Who made the song. Who made the song? Nate Dogg, nate Dogg. The song was hot because of Nate Dogg. No disrespect.

Styles 52:15

Nate Dogg. He never did it for me, paul. He never. I never was like yo Nate's on a song. Let me get it, because he was harmonizing.

Multiple PPL 52:24

I respect Nate Dogg, but I feel the same way, Nate never hit Nate Dogg but, I, feel the same way.

Jay 52:29

They never hit.

Styles 52:30

He made the songs hit.

Jay 52:32

He made the songs hit, yeah, but he just did the little bar, Like he wasn't respect what I'm telling you is if you take Nate Dogg off of Area Code. It's not the song that it.

Petra 52:45

You can put Snoop on there singing I Got Hose. You can put anybody on there singing I Got Hose. You can put anybody on there singing I Got Hose.

Jay 52:50

You think it would have been better? The track was cool. Vip, vip. You don't like the cadence. I don't like his cadence.

Petra 53:03

You sound like DMX. I don't like the nigga's hair. I don't like the way he walk.

Jay 53:07

I don't like the way he dress, I don't like his face. I like him as an actor. I like him in movies. You know what I'm saying. I like, like I just said, I went to a show, I vibed out, I had a great time, but it's because he was there, you understand what I'm saying, anybody else could have been just.

Ryan 53:25

Just is okay, all right. Stiles, as a native New Yorker, you're telling me when Fab came up with that single I can't deny it with Nate. Nate ain't make that song kind of like, add a little more spice to that thing.

Styles 53:40

Nah, he did, but I'm going to let you in on a little something. I wasn't a Fab fan coming up and Fab's from Brooklyn. However, the dude is dead, nice, dead nice. I just don't like. I don't know what it was. It was as he got older. I started to. It just started to hit pause.

Jay 54:03

He's his looter.

Styles 54:05

No, no, no, you ain't looter, you ain't looter. I don't hate Luda. The nigga just said.

Petra 54:13

He not gonna turn from Fab, exactly.

Jay 54:14

I'm not turning from Fab. I'm gonna turn from Luda, because here's the thing there's so much other music that I prefer to listen to.

Styles 54:21

I started liking Fab when Fab started doing Songs with Lil Mo.

Ryan 54:26

Okay.

Styles 54:27

Superwoman yeah, that's when I started liking her, because I thought that that was a crazy duo, yeah, together, and I always thought, like Moe was, like she was the shit. Yeah, I loved her Right, but then I started hearing her by herself and I felt like she never got the records she never got the recognition or the right material to really put her on the platform that she needs to be we really sitting here talking about Lil' Mo?

Styles 54:49

You talking about Lil' Mo nigga? Yes, what are you talking about? Who would you like to talk about, so I can clown them?

Ryan 54:55

You just going to clown them just because, rich Homie Quan, you want to talk about some Rich Homie Quan.

Styles 55:00

Basically the Mumble niggas, the original Mumble niggas.

Jay 55:03

So here's the thing While everybody, while everybody else was like dissing him about being mumble like they mumble, shit was cool now you want to hear some mumble?

Ryan 55:12

shit that I never really did get with until like towards the end, didn't rich homie kwan had that one dance where he was trying to fuck himself?

Jay 55:18

where he did what? That's crazy.

Ryan 55:20

He had a dance where he's trying to fuck himself.

Jay 55:21

Yeah, it looked crazy oh no, he had a gay looking dance okay, I mean, and I mean, you know, no disrespect to anyone of any alternative lifestyles or anything like that, but I'm just saying the dance looked weird to straight men.

Gender Competitions in Sports

Styles 55:36

OK, all right, let's jump off that pause. Let's go to transgenders competing in the Women's Olympics. Competing as women? Now, let me fix that up, because that, that, that, yeah, I get my head chopped off for that, for no reason. But anyway, transgenders competing against women in the olympics? Now when I don't give a fuck. You want a skeet ball, do that. You want to play ping pong? Do that. You want to put a transit? You? I mean, if you're going to compete against women and stuff like that, if you want to.

Styles 56:11

When it comes as it relates to physical contact that's, a man beating on a woman I don't give a fuck which way you try to switch it up right, and this is not meant to offend anybody. These are facts. I'm coming to you with the facts. I'm not coming to you with the thought process of what you want to be identified as right. Fuck it. Identify me as a fucking teacup. You understand what I'm saying. What the fuck? That shit means nothing because, at the end of the day, science says I'm a man. You understand. So the way I'm looking at it is this I think it's dead wrong. I don't think that if you want to and again, this is not me coming for transgenders. What you want to do with your body and your life, that's on you. I'm not. I'm not judging you for it. It might not be for me, but I don't think that you should be putting your hands on women under the guise of you being a transgender. That's just the way I see it. What say y'all?

Jay 57:13

I agree with you Say, for example, you have a transgender that wants to box in women's boxing.

Styles 57:19

They haven't.

Jay 57:20

Absolutely not.

Styles 57:21

That's not okay.

Multiple PPL 57:22

I'm not saying yeah, yeah, this is where I'm grabbing this from. Yeah, yeah, no that's not okay.

Jay 57:26

I don't care. Like you said, genetically speaking you are a man. You may not feel like a man on the inside. You may not think like a man, you may not want to be a man, but, like you said, science deems you as a man and so, because of that, you. It's not a fair competition, in my opinion. It's not a fair competition. So you know, hey, why don't all the transgenders just have their own thing where they can compete against each other.

Ryan 57:53

I was thinking the same thing. You know what I'm saying. A different division, if you just open up a space where, if you transition from one sex to another, here's some type of sports association where you can compete against each other.

Ryan 58:09

Even the the playing field. I agree with that. I didn't even think about that. I agree with that. One thing I wholeheartedly agree with you I like to consider myself very open-minded. I'm all about inclusion and diversity. Just like you said, if you were born a male and you want to change it to a female, cool. If you want me to identify you as she or her, cool. But just like you said, I feel like, especially in physical stuff, just just a sports gender in general, that doesn't give you the right to really compete against the naturally born female. And if you remember, like that's happened, like every few years or so we get a story like that, like I know I forget his name, but it was like a man who was like maybe like ranked 300 in the country in swimming. He got a sex change to become a woman. He was, like you know, the Michael Phepster to shit.

Petra 59:02

You know what I'm saying? Of course, blowing everybody up.

Ryan 59:16

And like just and even before that same thing, but it was with UFC. It was like someone who identified as a woman but was biologically born a man and fought a naturally born woman and it looked like a hate crime. I think the person had a fractured skull or something like that. It was bad. You could look it up. I forget the name, but I disagree with that. Just open up a space where they could compete against each other.

Petra 59:34

I agree.

Ryan 59:36

I respect your pronouns. I'm not going to call that person who's transitioning to an opposite sex. I'm not going to say they're an it, none of that. I respect you as a she, her, or if you transition the opposite way, hey, I'll call you he, him, whatever. But I just don't think you should be competing against natural born women if you were biologically born a man.

Ryan 59:56

But let me ask you a little question. Do you think because I was reading some of the articles like I think the IOC, the International Olympic Committee, like they're like working overtime, trying to like do what? They're like saying this is a witch hunt with the boxer and olympics are calling it a witch hunt? They're saying like they're trying to make statements. Like you know, some women just have high testosterone, but I forget her name. But that same woman that you're talking about, with olympics just last year, she failed some type of gender eligibility test, which would make sense if she was an actually born man. So I just wanted you to take. What do you think about the Olympics committee and so forth, trying to like, I guess trying to downplay it?

Styles 1:00:46

I mean anything to protect the sport. We look at how you call it. We look at football basically protecting itself against CTE. They know good and goddamn well these kids, half of these football players, are going to be brain dead by the time they're 50, 60. So, if they're lucky, so they're going to protect the brand First and foremost. They're going to protect the brand. I think, first and foremost they're gonna protect the brand. They don't care about, they care about eyeballs. They don't care about the people that bring the eyeballs to them. You know, I mean, they don't, they don't care about that.

Styles 1:01:19

Um, I just think that again, like I said, you know, I think, well, jay actually said it best create a division for them. You know, because myself, as a martial artist, when I used to compete and stuff like that and I'm talking about I've been competing since you know what I mean, I was maybe 10 years old, so it's kind of like I've seen the divisions. They used to be co-ed divisions but there comes a point where they have to separate the divisions because boys can no longer fight girls, period. You know, and you're training them to fight. You know, and you're training them to fight. You know, um, each other right so they're trained in this, this art. Right to put hands and feet on people, right so you can't have that. And I've seen it where, even in divisions, where you know, they separated it by age. But remember, body type is so. You might have a big boy, you know, a big 10-year-old against you know a smaller 10-year-old girl, yeah, and just because their age man, you know, and I've seen parents get into it over shit like that.

Ryan 1:02:20

Yeah, because, like you said, the 10-year-old is big. Yeah, big in size.

Styles 1:02:30

Yeah. So why would we do that in our adult age on a big stadium like? None of it makes sense. It doesn't get what I'm saying. I don't give a fuck who you fucking. I don't care. You know how y'all fucking. I don't give a fuck what you want to be and how you want to be. That that's all. That's all up to you. Do like, do your thing, yeah. But when it comes to again like physical contests and stuff like that, you having to put hands and feet on the opposite sex, whether you want to identify as that or not, is wrong. Yeah, I don't give a fuck which way you slice it.

Styles 1:03:00

You're going to say come for me, I don't give a fuck, you know, because you sound stupid. You look stupider, which is even a fucking word. You know what I mean so we're not doing that.

Ryan 1:03:10

And before you close it out to your point, like what Jay said, like maybe you should create a space for one out. But that's the same exact reason with, like men's boxing right. There's a reason why there's, you know, like different weight divisions, because if a lightweight is fighting, a heavyweight. That lightweight could die.

Multiple PPL 1:03:33

That's literally the same thing. It's the exact same thing.

Ryan 1:03:37

I just want to bring that. If you got weight division for a reason, you should have gender divisions in that sense, all the way across the board.

Styles 1:03:46

I think there's one very important boy he's missing right now. It's Petra.

Petra 1:03:51

No, I agree.

Petra 1:03:53

I agree that you should be able to break it up all the way across the board for everybody.

Petra 1:03:58

We are right now a nation who are making a certain demographic very comfortable to say they can have and do whatever they want without thinking about the others involved. Um, and you know it's not really fair in a lot of areas, but you know, if they want it, they get it, and that I don't understand how that came about, where it was so easy to just change how the world runs because one person or one specific group of people feel like I don't like it. So now we can't say these things, we can't do certain things, you know, because of one demographic. So just because they feel like I should be able to doesn't mean that morally, when you are in these fields, these sports, they should be able to because they are different. We don't want a woman who identifies as a man to go into a ring with, like you say, a heavyweight because she feel heavyweight in her head and she might be a little bit heavyweight. A heavyweight woman and a heavyweight man is two different entities.

Jay 1:05:09

Yeah, yeah, I know a couple. I know a couple. I got a cousin that'll whoop all eyes.

Petra 1:05:13

I believe you and we all know a person here or there that defeats the odds.

Petra 1:05:20

But they're defeating the odds. We shouldn't keep doing that and then expecting. You know it's different. Like Cat Williams said, I love it when he tells the joke about Tink Tink Because he had the metal leg. And Tink Tink, that is my favorite joke Because y'all going to disqualify him, saying he had an advantage when he came in with a disadvantage. But you're going to disqualify him. But this person, being 100 pounds heavier than me, 6 feet tall, and his strength is outweighs mine by a million times, that's not a disadvantage for me, who usually in this field, everybody looks and weighs and our body types are the same. But then this fella who wants to be a lady and I'm not crashing on anybody because I don't care what you do either they come in and they're competing with these people.

Jay 1:06:12

It's not right, Because my thing too is like even if I identify as something else, like I still me personally. I like competition, so I don't want to go in there when I'm going to easily win. Where I'm going to, yeah. It's like really you want to win that goddamn bag.

Ryan 1:06:29

Right, right, right. You know what I mean. That's crazy, yeah, that's true, Very true, yeah. But yeah, I think and that's the thing and that's just because that topic came up is I do feel like everyone should be treated equal. So it's not like I'm saying, you know, they should be treated like scum, nothing like that. I just feel like, in terms of that, I think that's just too. I think that's too much catering to like a demographic of what we have. That's all I agree.

Questioning Government and Earth's Shape

Styles 1:07:00

There we go. So, moving on, one of the last topics in here, um, I guess this one is going to be just as crazy as the last one. But let's talk about the election real quick. Let's talk about politics for two seconds. On a surface level, nothing deep, but Kamala, am I pronouncing it correctly? Kamala, whatever, kamala.

Styles 1:07:32

For me, let me just state my stance real quick. The government is all one person. I don't give a fuck who you put in office. They're all the same person, right, pardon? They're all different people with the same agenda. It's all different people with the same agenda, right, pardon? They're all different people with the same agenda. It's all different people with the same agenda, right? So, whichever president you put up there, if you look at it, just a timeline of how we fare between presidents, right? It doesn't do this and then do that. It doesn't do that, it does this. It's a very slow arc. You know why? Because it has to remain consistent. So I don't care about any of that, right? So when they're like yo, you need to get out and vote For what I'm voting for? The same shit. I don't think that voting's the answer. If that's your thing, that's your thing. You might look at me like I'm fucking stupid, I don't care.

Petra 1:08:24

I rolled my eyes a little bit.

Styles 1:08:26

No, which is cool? Which is cool? There are people out there. Which is cool Because I'm weird in that respect, because I feel like we as a population have been raised to not question things, right? So, whatever it is, we're going with whichever is the popular narrative and not creating our own narrative, and that's the problem, right? Like for me, and not to get off topic, I'm going to make this real quick.

Styles 1:08:50

I personally don't think that the world is round, because it doesn't make sense, and the only reason I say that is because I sat back and I started questioning things, and it's kind of like going to church on Sunday talking to the pastor Like yo, pastor, what happens when I die? And he gives you an answer Nigga, you don't know. Shut the fuck up. You know somebody that came back, and this is just me. Did somebody come back and tell you what happened? Yeah, and this is the thing, right, so I'm spiritual, I believe that there's a higher being. I believe that life is definitely a fucking miracle, right? Because when something happens, when the flesh just goes limp, yeah, so there was a battery that didn't die. The battery didn't die. It basically was like listen, I don't want to stick around here, no more. So we're just going to go somewhere else and we're just going to do that thing. But for the world to be spinning, think about this Water, just water, real quick, so water. I'm on my TikTok shit now. So water, basically, is going to form whatever its container is. Right Now, they say that the moon basically impacts the waves.

Styles 1:09:58

Right, the moon has something to do with the waves. Now ask yourself right, if we're spinning thousands of miles an hour, it doesn't impact the water, but the fucking moon does. Not only are we spinning thousands of miles an hour, it doesn't impact the water, but the fucking moon does. Not only are we spinning thousands, we're tumbling through space at another astronomical speed, but the water just stays still as a motherfucker. Stop it. You understand? I'm saying stop it it. And I'm not saying that I have the answer to that. I don't, but I'm going to tell you that. But you're questioning.

Jay 1:10:30

Yeah, the shit that you're telling me doesn't add up, it's okay to question it, but we do know that sometimes, when things move at high enough speed, they have the ability to hold things in place.

Styles 1:10:41

So how does the moon affect it then?

Multiple PPL 1:10:44

Why is the?

Styles 1:10:44

moon affected. I think that. So what they?

Multiple PPL 1:10:46

say is that the?

Jay 1:10:47

moon is that the moon pulls or draws on you know, creating the waves. Yeah, the the moon's pull on on the on the earth.

Styles 1:10:56

Yeah, and the moon is is thousands of miles away from us.

Jay 1:11:01

But but there. So here's my thing there is a solar system and all the planets seem to somehow balance each other out in some way and in a way that sustains life for us. We're able to live and breathe.

Styles 1:11:13

I'm not even going to argue with you on that point. Gravity does exist.

Jay 1:11:15

Does it really Gravity? Does exist. What we think, what we consider gravity Right, what we've been taught gravity is. My thing is this this is what I will say.

Multiple PPL 1:11:26

Yeah.

Jay 1:11:29

We can choose to believe some of it, or we can choose to believe none of it, but the fact of the matter is that there is a science to all of it 100, you know.

Styles 1:11:38

So the question is.

Jay 1:11:39

So the question is like do they have it right when they say that this is what causes this? Because there's a great chance that that ain't it. You know what I'm saying?

Styles 1:11:48

I got a better that is something else.

Jay 1:11:49

You know what I mean saying. I got a better one for you. That it's something else you know what I mean.

Styles 1:11:50

I got a better one for you and I'm not going to turn this into a tinfoil hat. I'm not going to do that, and I think that people call it a tinfoil hat because again, they want to control the narrative Not you, but them. So here's the thing. You know, the Earth's curvature starts at like eight miles, right? So after eight miles, anything that's sticking up has to start getting shorter. After eight miles, we've all been in a plane at 30,000 miles. Tell me where the curvature is. You've never seen it. It's flat.

Jay 1:12:22

So, I'm one of those people and she'll tell you I haven't decided whether or not the earth is flat.

Petra 1:12:31

We have a whole flat episode, but what I?

Jay 1:12:34

have said, yeah, we have a whole flat earth. I had a guy named Flat Earth Dave on the show, but I'm not. I'm still investigating it. It's possible.

Styles 1:12:43

Right. Well, I've seen. I've seen experiments whereby, for instance, there's a shoreline and there's a lighthouse. The lighthouse, let's say the lighthouse, is 50 meters high, right, but it's like 15 miles away, so it shouldn't be 50 miles, 50 meters high. If it curves, it should be right, it should get shorter. So it doesn't. So what's that saying? So, either they say either there's one or two things the earth is flat, or it's just bigger than what they're saying.

Jay 1:13:18

The latter could very well be true, because who the fuck went out there and measured that?

Ryan 1:13:21

What about?

Styles 1:13:22

Yeah, but what about? My thing is like what about the water? You ever try to pour water on a fucking balloon? I'm as like, yeah, right, so if that's in and this is like it's like the small common sense shit that fucks me up, and then it's like all these people come in here like, yeah, but you have to also remember who you're getting your information from. If I get my information from a nigga that's known to lie, what's?

Jay 1:13:46

that's where the whole thing right exactly that's where the whole thing comes in.

Styles 1:13:49

Right, exactly that's where the whole thing comes in for me.

Jay 1:13:51

Like a known liar, I have to question everything this motherfucker does. But why would we believe the?

Styles 1:13:56

government, though I don't believe it. You know that Rockefeller's responsible for the school system.

Jay 1:14:02

I don't want to get into that. All right, we'll leave that alone. I know I don't want to get into that, but you said something about you were talking about government and you were talking about Kamala. Kamala, all right, or Kamala?

The Voting Dilemma

Styles 1:14:12

Whatever. So we'll get back. And no disrespect, I'm not even saying it in a disrespectful manner, it's just that you know whatever there are a lot of people about on a surface level. So I've already explained that I'm not super duper political, so I don't know about the accomplishments nor the fails. I know about the narrative. I know about people wanting to vote for her because she's black and she's a woman. Is that enough?

Jay 1:14:39

I think that is ignorant.

Ryan 1:14:41

That is ignorant.

Jay 1:14:42

It is Okay, I got you, that is ignorant to vote just because she's black and she's a woman. But I'll be honest with you.

Ryan 1:14:50

You're going to vote for her because of that. No, no, not because of that.

Jay 1:14:53

But I'm not going to vote for the other one.

Petra 1:14:56

That is where I stand. You understand what I'm saying.

Ryan 1:14:58

I agree, I agree.

Jay 1:15:01

So I would vote for a fucking three-legged pony. You know what I'm saying? Because we got to keep that one out of there and then we can come back later on and deal with them. You understand?

Jay 1:15:13

what I'm saying Does that make sense, but not to vote is the worst thing that any of us could do, because not to vote for one is to vote for his ass, basically. Well, not to vote for the other one is to vote for him. Other one, it's to vote for him, and so you know, I feel like it's extremely important that we pick the lesser of two evils and then we try to work through it.

Jay 1:15:35

Now I'm getting ready to go somewhere with you and then I'm going to shut the fuck up and let y'all finish this particular conversation. There's a book. It's called Behold the Pale Horse, by a man named William Cooper. If you ever get a chance to listen to it audibly, because you can't buy it, they've suppressed it. Yeah, they've suppressed it. You can find copies at certain places used stuff but it's hard to find. But there is a place where you can listen to it audibly, unless that's no longer there.

Jay 1:16:06

Anyway, I probably shouldn't be talking about this shit, but what I will say is that he said something in this particular book. He was a high ranking naval officer who found some very exclusive and top secret documents in a Xerox machine back in like I think it was the early 80s and he wrote this book and he did a lot of research and investigations and he found a lot of things and he's no longer with us. But I said all that to say this. In this book he literally explains what you said, that hey, the votes of the people ain't got nothing to do with nothing.

Jay 1:16:42

They're actors on a stage acting out this scene to make you think that you're voting and you're making these decisions and in reality, it's one team and they're acting this thing out and the end result is going to be the end result, no matter what happens. Now, does that mean that we shouldn't vote? I say no because in my mind I'm like, okay, I hear all that, but what if I'm wrong?

Jay 1:17:03

I'm still going to vote anyway. I mean, that's why we pray to god, yeah, but I'm still gonna vote. It's what if I'm wrong? Because you don't know, faith without works is dead right. So I gotta do some work if I, if I actually have some faith. So my thing is, regardless of what, I'm still gonna go out and and and vote the way that I would like to see things go.

Styles 1:17:22

But, jay, let me ask you a question you think that there's a better way a better way way. A better way. Well, I mean, we all clearly know that that's blind faith, because we can't, we're not there counting it, you understand? And now everything's electric.

Jay 1:17:35

Right.

Styles 1:17:36

You know. So if everything's electric, like for instance the ballots and stuff like that and counters and stuff like that, and again we're not there, it's just a scary fucking moment.

Jay 1:17:48

Yeah, it is, but the thing is okay. It goes back to what everybody says all the time, like if you don't do your part you don't have a right to complain. You know what I'm saying. So for me, I look at it and I'm like, okay, everybody's like well, man, you know that fucking building's going to fall, man, and there's nothing we can do to stop that goddamn building from falling. Well, if we don't do anything and then the building falls, don't say shit because you didn't even fucking try. You know what I'm saying.

Styles 1:18:11

At least if we tried, now we can bitch about the building. Oh, no, no, no, I'm not saying that. You know what I'm saying. That's a good point, that's a great point.

Ryan 1:18:18

I'm not saying that.

Styles 1:18:21

Great point that if we know that, even in voting, or have an inkling that even in voting and this is what I'm talking about this is what we're taught in school we're not taught to actually think for ourselves. That's not what we're taught to do. So when it happens outside of that, it's an anomaly. Right, that's why people don't work together. Right, because they teach separation.

Petra 1:18:46

Because if you teach, you know know individuality community won't be in the flock, you won't get in line there you go.

Styles 1:18:52

so, with with us recognizing the fact that there's, oh you know, the slightest possibility that the um, you know that the voting, or how the the president's chosen, or how these elected officials are chosen, why not press for a different way to do it, or try to figure out a different way to do something that's a little bit more transparent?

Jay 1:19:18

We can't. But I'm going to tell you this you said we can't, we can, right, we can do that, right, but it won't work. And you want me to tell you why it won't work. That was negative. Okay, I'm going to tell you why it won't work. And there's nothing wrong. We still should try it anyway. That's what I've been saying, that's my point.

Styles 1:19:34

That's exactly what you said. You know, I was ready.

Jay 1:19:37

We should still try it anyway, but I don't have faith buckets of water out of the boat.

Jay 1:19:46

Even I know the bitch gonna sink. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, and the reason is because? The reason is because think about these jobs that you had right. Where things were not right, it was unjust, it was, it was wrong, right, and all it took was for a certain group or a certain number of people to say, man, fuck, that, we're not doing anything until you fix this. But that can't happen, because when it all boils down, the motherfucker who tried to say, hey, let's get together and do this, they're gonna throw his ass under the bus. Or the guys who worked overtime and get the little bit of extra couple of dollars, they won't get on board. Right, right, you know what I'm saying. That's why the shit ain't gonna work, because you always got the motherfuckers. That's worried about me, my four and no motherfucker more.

Ryan 1:20:30

Right. Look at Colin Kaepernick. He took a stand and not many players got behind him Exactly.

Jay 1:20:35

Exactly because look, man, like I know we getting scraps, but I like my scraps and I don't want to do it.

Styles 1:20:42

But see I can't fuck with that, because I can't even subscribe to it, and what you're saying is 100% right.

Jay 1:20:47

It is what it is.

Styles 1:20:48

As far as the mentality is concerned, Absolutely. What I'm saying is that maybe we need to, not even maybe the mentality needs to change.

Jay 1:20:55

I agree, oh for sure, I agree. So what are we going to do?

Styles 1:20:59

We going to kill the house, niggas it's a discussion it's a discussion, but at the same time, though we have to, it has to be discussed. It can't? We can't just close our eyes and like we have kids.

Jay 1:21:17

I don't want my son to be subjected to that. I don't even allow my son to now what's up now? You just hit it on the head. What's that pause? We have to start teaching the next generation man man we got to like because but how can we teach the next generation something that we don't even? Because Cleophas and them are a lost fucking cause bro.

Styles 1:21:33

But this is the thing, though they're not going to change. But this is the thing, though we can't teach the kids something we don't subscribe to.

Jay 1:21:41

But the ones who do like. And so here's the thing, cleophas. And in them, they ain't raising their kids. They busy working, which this is in the book too. They busy working and patronizing and doing all this other shit. They ain't raising the kids. There's a whole nother system that raises kids. This woman works in child care, basically in education. Right, she spends more time with your kids than.

Jay 1:22:03

Cleo was in them, dude, 100% so your kids than Cleophas and them do 100% so. And she's woke, she's conscious. So guess what? You know what I'm saying? The parents didn't know, the teachers didn't know. Get together and start molding and shaping and making the next generation.

Petra 1:22:17

You know what I'm saying. We don't put enough financial backing behind the teachers and everything for them to do what they need to do. And I'm sorry, but this generation that's coming up now, these little ones that's coming up now, they coming from the womb, messed up, like, unfortunately, like I've never seen so many kids on the spectrum.

Styles 1:22:38

It's crazy, but you know, that's for me the way. I think you know, and some may say it's a conspiracy. There is, and some may say it's a conspiracy theory, rather. But remember, the person that jumped out the window was like it's a conspiracy, and this is wise, because that was the person that actually had something to hide. Yeah, because you got it. Now you got to debunk it. So what's a better way to debunk something than to call something crazy? You have to call it crazy First of all. You're crazy. Alright, I'm crazy. I'm crazy because I disagree with you.

Petra 1:23:08

Exactly.

Styles 1:23:08

Second of all, who the fuck are you to call me crazy for disagreeing with you, even if I bring facts to the table? What happens is you have a bigger platform, my platform is small, so I must be crazy. Yeah, you know, you can't go against the system. You can go against the system, you lose. They shut down the panthers. The panthers was feeding the kids in the hood. They actually had the first lunch program for the kids in the hood to actually eat and do things like that, the after-school programs, you know, but they were teaching themselves about themselves and that was a problem for the government, because they don't want to teach community, they want to teach, you know, division. Because if I can keep you guys fighting against each other, yeah, you got the. You got the brand new J's. Right, you got the exclusive J's, though. You understand what I'm saying. So now, since you got the exclusive J's, instead of you putting me on, I don't like you, yeah.

Petra 1:23:58

I'm gonna hold that secret. I can't even let you know where I got them exactly.

Styles 1:24:02

You know that whole.

Styles 1:24:03

Thing and then put it to you like this let let's get back to the music thing. I know y'all like that thing, right, I do too. Let's get back to the music thing. I can't say getting chips like a Hebrew, but I could say nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, kill your mother, nigga, nigga, nigga, kill your mother, nigga, nigga, suck my nigga, nigga. I could say all of that. If I say one derogatory thing about a Jewish person, a white person, you understand Eminem's, the only person probably could get away with it actually we can get away with it too.

Styles 1:24:37

We can do it too. There are some limitations, but when you think about it like that, remember the system is designed for that. Because they feel like, as long as they can keep us in that state of mind I don't know how we got here in this conversation but as long as they can keep us there in that state of mind, they can go about doing their business of the devil. I can do whatever the fuck I want to do. Y'all niggas, just run around, kill each other. Oh, by the way, spend your check with me, right, and that whole thing.

Petra 1:25:05

the black dollar is one of the most powerful dollars out there. If we stop buying, because we are the biggest consumers, if we stop buying, the world is going to slow down, because we are the ones who spend our money. They hold their money.

Ryan 1:25:17

Yeah, that's what's so upsetting, but you can't, you can't, you can't not spend your dollar. Here's the thing.

Jay 1:25:27

You can't not spend your dollar, you can't spend wisely. But but do you remember what? What did they ask?

Petra 1:25:30

years back in the day. What do you remember them asking for? One day, yeah, don't spend money for one goddamn day.

Jay 1:25:32

Yeah that means, okay, I don't have gas, fuck it, call out.

Petra 1:25:37

You call out for every goddamn thing else but if the job know you calling out because you on that no spend money thing now, they'll fire you. Yeah, that's just like we had a teacher work day and it was on june 10th. I was like you, serious, this is the first time y'all ever gave us the holiday. Then y'all made it a teacher work day.

Petra 1:25:54

I won't be here, you won't get paid, okay so fucking crazy it's okay, yeah, um so crazy you know, and like you say, we had the conversation of not really feeling the government passing the holiday for june 10enth because now it's commercialized and now y'all making money off of us when before, when it was our thing, we were the only ones that were doing it. I'm not going to buy a Juneteenth shirt out of Target or Walmart because if I were going to get one, I'm going to get it from a local black vendor or something like that Go get it from a guy using iron in a press store.

Petra 1:26:26

Exactly, Do it myself Like I'm not going to give you the money for this holiday that y'all didn't even really want to acknowledge, and it's about y'all not even telling us we free for real and like, why are we doing that? No, so you have to be conscious of certain things and even if you can't change the world, it starts with you.

Styles 1:26:44

Amen, make one little step. I love it, amen she I like her.

Multiple PPL 1:26:54

Yeah, I've been here the whole time.

Petra 1:26:56

Literally from the first episode.

Styles 1:26:59

So this is what we're going to do. Let's switch gears a little bit. You know, we gave them. We gave the people heart and soul and, I think, a little bit more insight on a personal level as to what we feel about. You know how we feel about this world that we live in right now.

Styles 1:27:17

Let's talk about some other shit, though. This online buying shit thing. Right, because I bought shit online for this trip specifically. Right, I'm trying to avoid the scams. You know, it's just difficult. Like, for instance, I was discussing with shadra. I was like yo, abort x, y and z, blah, blah, blah.

Styles 1:27:38

And there's an app called shop you guys familiar. You guys familiar too, everybody's familiar and you know it pops in there, tells you all right, cool, this is your order number and then, when your order is updated to, you know, shift or whatever, yeah, it'll pop in there too. So I ordered some hats, you know, and I'm not gonna put them on blast yet. I will, I promise you I will. This is what I'm here for, but I just need some resolution. So I ordered these hats, like three weeks ago. Okay, I paid for shipping, like fast shipping, don't you hate it? Yeah, I paid for the fast shipping Now. For me, fast shipping three weeks ago was even if they get here two days before my trip it was money well spent, so I'm good with that. I hit the panic button last week, though Right Hit the panic button, it still says yeah, you placed an order. That's all it said.

Petra 1:28:34

It hasn't moved yet.

Styles 1:28:35

Never updated. So I sent them an email because the shop allows you to do that. I ain't getting nothing from them. I sent them another email like three days later. I ain't getting nothing from them. Today I'm here today. I got here yesterday today I jumped in the DM like yo, this is giving me scammy vibes. What are you doing for real? Like you ignore sometimes the wrong people. You shouldn't ignore the wrong people because you can go viral for all the wrong reasons. You know, and I'm petty, relentless, which is a bad combination. You understand what I'm saying, like petty and relentless. Oh my god, nigga, I'm having a good time and I'm not gonna stop. This shit is like, it's crazy, like I don't give a fuck. You can have a pristine record. You can have delivered 99 out of 100. Right, and I'm the 100.

Petra 1:29:32

I was about to say but if you the 100.

Styles 1:29:33

I'm the 100. Don't play with me. So what I was thinking, and I don't want to be long-winded because I want y'all guys to jump in, you know, mr Smoker, and Glide up on the mic pause, yo, mic, pause. Yo. I love it he be sitting up in full speed and be like I'm just like how the fuck do you do that? You don't have to teach me that, but, um, like the Commodores, I don't sing back up. No wonder he says Sam Cooke Temptation.

The Dangers of Online Shopping

Ryan 1:30:05

Yeah exactly.

Styles 1:30:06

But, um, what I was thinking was, was there needs to be like a central hub, right? So sort of kind of like, um, a zaggits for that, right? So you have to be vetted, like an app whereby you're actually vetted? I'm not even going to answer that. Yeah, but not yet. So there has to be an app that we can go to where all of these things are housed, sort of like how Apple does what they do with their apps. You just can't have an app on Apple it goes through a process and if you get too many strikes you're out of here.

Styles 1:30:49

You know same shit with this right, this way these scammers would like, not even scammers, like just bad business. I don't want to say they're scamming me yet. I will just not yet. I just need you know. So give you another week, then you're a scammer, because they took a pretty good like. I spent $130.

Petra 1:31:07

For that expedited shipping, though you should want your money back for that. Hell yeah, I want my money back period.

Styles 1:31:12

I don't even have the merchandise, yeah. But even if you get the merchandise.

Petra 1:31:15

You should get your expedited shipping money back. But who brung it a snail? Yeah, exactly yeah. So no, I want my expedited shipping money back. Thinking that you walk from Canada? Exactly that's the only way it's making sense. That's your fast delivery.

Ryan 1:31:29

So, yeah, that's crazy, yeah, but I really think, like I mean, it's like there should be some more regulations. But I feel like you know not to try to sound like overly sensationalized or something, but the Internet is a scary place. I mean you could, you know, like of course the dark web is a completely different thing, but like you can go to like a site like you're talking about and get screwed over, you know, or you pay for expedited shipping. It doesn't happen, Things of that nature. Hopefully you get some type of refund or something like that, but it it's just a scary place because so many people or there's just so many outlets that could, you know, screw you up.

Ryan 1:32:10

I forget what and what was it. I think it's um. Is it amazon? It's somewhere. Yeah, you know, amazon is another example. Right, like you know, you got to be careful of what you order on amazon now, because it's like it could be some shady ass third party business yeah and like yeah, yeah, even though, yeah, third-party business, even though Amazon is solid, but they're not going to take responsibility for these third-party shady companies.

Ryan 1:32:34

It looks one way on the website, but you get it when you order through Amazon, and then it looks like something from.

Styles 1:32:43

Tubi or something like that it's from Tubii, I mean from timu I just went through that.

Jay 1:32:56

I ordered something and it was actually a fragrance, and what they said was non-refundable. No, not, not non-refundable. Non-returnable due to a hazmat thing. So how in the hell you?

Petra 1:33:09

get it to me, what? But I can't give it back?

Jay 1:33:11

is it a to send it back as hazmat? What are you talking about? So, but you gotta use a little bit of common sense and reasonable deduction there exactly and say I'm not gonna fuck with this one you know what I'm saying. You have to be like nah, I'm not going to do this because this one is shady.

Ryan 1:33:30

It's a wild, wild west we go to in that.

Petra 1:33:32

Usually only the big brands you can. You can get and don't have to worry about all of that other stuff like the finish lines, the Nikes, the big stores. But the other ones, the other ones like if you don't see to me I don't, if you don't even see shop pay at the bottom I'm not.

Styles 1:33:49

I'm not even fucking with you, because you're not real, so that's crazy.

Petra 1:33:51

That's why I'm saying that's crazy because they usually you can email them. I had a guy I bought a coat and uh, took the coat from forever. And it was funny because it was like a coat store in brooklyn. So he literally called me on the telephone, was like I don't have the coat in that size. I, I, I refund you. No, we don't refund, we don't refund, I give you another coat. And I was like you know what?

Petra 1:34:11

that's fine because at least he reached out yeah yeah I emailed him and he was like I don't, I don't know, I use the email well but he literally called me at least to fix my order or whatever, and like that was one of the reasons why I'm like, okay, if shop pay on it or somewhere that I know that I can get in contact with the people, that's fine. I've had them call me back and be like we don't got it in blue, but you want an orange one. Okay, I'll take the orange one, but you know what I'm saying, but at least there's some kind of contact.

Petra 1:34:38

If they don't have nothing at the bottom, I don't even fool with them anymore, even PayPal, because? Because PayPal will get you caught up too. Yeah, paypal will get you caught up, exactly. So it's just you have to be careful, you just have to be careful.

Ryan 1:34:52

I think, yeah, I think that's the front of it.

Petra 1:34:55

Yeah.

Jay 1:34:56

Yeah, you just can't trust it. What's scary, like you said, is the internet is a scary place. What's?

Petra 1:35:06

even more scary is.

Jay 1:35:07

I'm seeing all these brick and mortars closing. Yeah, Because we want to shop online so much, right, and I mean I like to try shit on before I buy it. So I appreciate the mall, I appreciate being able to run to the mall like the evening of an event and try some shit on, and grab it and I'm good. You know what I'm saying.

Jay 1:35:24

Yeah, and grab it and I'm good. You know what I'm saying. But, like when I tell you, I've looked and I've seen recently so many stores that I actually like to go into, yeah, that are closing, like some of them are closing all their stores, yeah, a lot of them are closing like like high numbers of stores. So I think that the future of this thing is literally gonna be, you know, online shopping only yeah, for sure it's scamming.

Styles 1:35:45

Yeah, no, for sure, it's definitely, it's definitely moving in that direction. You know, online shopping only For sure it's scamming. Yeah, nah, for sure, it's definitely moving in that direction. You know, they'll have a vending machine for cell phones at some point.

Ryan 1:35:53

Right, that's right.

Adventurous Date Ideas and Communication

Styles 1:35:55

Because it only makes sense at that point. Right, think about all the people that had to transition from a fucking horse and carriage to a car. Yeah, them niggas wasn't happy. Right car.

Petra 1:36:05

Yeah, them niggas wasn't happy. You know what I'm saying? Them niggas wasn't happy and, just like somebody don't update their phone, somebody was like I'm going to stick with my horse and carriage.

Jay 1:36:10

I'll just never move back here. I put all this work in building carriages.

Petra 1:36:14

You can see them. I need to move the car over.

Jay 1:36:18

Okay, yeah, I didn't know someone else was coming.

Styles 1:36:21

We keeping this in here too. I I'm not editing this. I didn't know someone was coming out.

Multiple PPL 1:36:31

Hold on, I'm going to tell I'm going to let everybody know, listen what you call it.

Petra 1:36:35

Hello how are you. He don't really. Let me just tell you Okay.

Multiple PPL 1:36:46

Maybe, we don't have to pause it.

Styles 1:36:49

All right, cool. So that's everybody's thoughts on that. Yeah, all right, beautiful. So I had to say Q. Day night, sexy nights and good food All right, so I'm going to let the smooth operator take over on this one. So yeah, you know, jay wasn't Old Daddy Kane. Yeah, old Daddy Kane.

Petra 1:37:11

I can't let him be Big Daddy Kane.

Ryan 1:37:12

Jay wasn't a pimp in his former life.

Styles 1:37:14

I promise you, the shit that he says might be pimpish, but he wasn't a pimp, he didn't come from a family of pimps. Right, he was All right. All right, cool, we. No disrespect or degradation. Degradation of women happened. Um, these are just from this life experience these are all true stories so you know what the segment's about yeah, yeah, to a degree all right tell me before we it's about, uh, date ideas, date ideas.

Styles 1:37:52

Okay, yeah, this nigga pays attention, go ahead. So yeah, jay's gonna give us some some date ideas and we're gonna pass it around the table and give them a thumbs up, thumbs down, like the romans used to do. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay all right.

Jay 1:38:07

So you know I feel like women tend to, like you know, more intimacy, like not talking sex. You know I'm saying like just things you know to, to discuss, things to explore verbally and vocalizing, and then expect closeness and men we like. So it's only right that you do things that encompass both of those things, like maybe a escape room, right.

Styles 1:38:35

Ryan 1:41:18

Jay 1:41:27

Yeah, he's not, he's not, he's not, don't worry about it.

Jay 1:41:30

I'm mobile, don't worry about it, sweetheart, but but you know, I'm just saying so, but these are, these are all things that are adventurous. Adventurous but they also, you know, introduce opportunities for closeness and great, you know, introduce opportunities for closeness and great communication. You know everybody's been doing the paint and sip stuff. You know these are good things. I appreciate these things. These are things that I would prefer to do other than like dinner and a movie. Dinner and a movie is cool, but the thing is you don't usually get to talk during a movie.

Jay 1:42:07

And it can get boring, if that's your only idea, every time because everybody been to dinner in the movie you know, what I mean. So my thing is, I want to find something that maybe she hadn't done. It may be you know firing range or something. You know what I mean, but, like you, just got to be creative are these supposed to be first day ideas?

Ryan 1:42:25

we're we talking about date ideas in general? Both I think. Well, you know I'm biased, but I think two, two ideas. I think like it's definitely not a first date idea, but if you're in a relationship for a few years, do a photo shoot, do like a romantic photo shoot.

Ryan 1:42:42

Y'all get to dress up, get dolled up. Get black Ken black, barbie dolled up. I like it. You know. You look at each. And I'm not talking about the photo shoot in the mall or some shit like that, right, I'm talking about one of these fly professional freelance dudes, whatever, who like they stuff, look like it could be in like a magazine. Yeah, y'all get to look at each other. These romantic poses, things like that. It's pretty dope. I had the pleasure of doing something like that for like, for like an engagement party or a wedding, stuff like that, and you really see how excited not only the girlfriend is but the boyfriend is. You know what I'm saying? Just stuff like that. I think that's dope. I think it's dope too.

Styles 1:43:24

First date, second date? I don't know. First date, second date?

Ryan 1:43:27

I'm talking about a couple years in the game. Oh okay, photos from the first date is wild, it's wild.

Petra 1:43:33

I might not even want to see you after this, sir. Now you got this portrait of me, I got a whole different behind and I done threw yours in the garbage.

Ryan 1:43:39

We got to look face to face and this is the first date. Nah, that's crazy. First date photo shoot. Nah, that's a little. First date photo shoot. Nah, gotta be in romantic positions and shit. We barely know each other's name. Yeah, ain't nothing.

Styles 1:43:56

You understand what I'm saying. That's different.

Petra 1:44:00

We ain't capturing it for life. That's different. Alright, just you recording the sex page. But everybody ain't doing that, so it ain't a good first date yeah, not a first, that's my opinion.

Ryan 1:44:18

But I mean, but unless y'all ventures like that, maybe you do that as a first date. You let them know up front. Hey, I'm about to take you to the I'm gonna paint you nude nice, that's a little different. Nice, yeah, hey, I'm about to take you to the. I'm going to paint you nude. Nice Shit, I have to do it different. Nice, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you better go to the Lovey W photo shoot for the first date.

Styles 1:44:31

What's up, I don't know if that's going to fly. Yeah, Like nigga. This is weird, Nah yeah.

Petra 1:44:36

Six degrees of separation.

Ryan 1:44:37

I ain't going, I don't know if you will, because, man, I know women who want to talk about marriage on the first date I met them.

Jay 1:44:43

Oh shit, yeah, I've been out with them, if you do the photoshoot you definitely get married.

Styles 1:44:49

I mean they're putting you on notice. You said what they're putting them on notice.

Jay 1:44:54

Nah, they're not putting them on notice. What'd you do? How did you leave?

Styles 1:44:59

Wait, talk about marrying you on the first date. Yeah, it's a little different.

Ryan 1:45:03

Y'all think it's about marriage in general, like, look, if we date, I want to get married. If we have kids.

Jay 1:45:09

What would you first date? You want to talk about what we name in children.

Ryan 1:45:12

Jay 1:49:54

Oh, you're having a barbecue. I'm coming over there. You coming to a barbecue over at my house with a group of strangers. Now how many, come on be real how many? Times have you invited a woman to a barbecue and she came and you know everybody and she don't know nobody.

Ryan 1:50:12

That's happened a lot, not me. You invite somebody to a barbecue and she don't know anybody.

Jay 1:50:17

She just met you. You're going to a barbecue where it's your friends and family, I feel like that's an insecure episode or somewhere. But, do you know how many times I've done that? And they came.

Petra 1:50:27

I'm not coming.

Jay 1:50:28

I yeah, I'm not coming. I mean, I'm not a serial killer, so they were okay. But how do I know you're not a serial killer? I'm just saying they made it out and they shouldn't have came because you was a serial ho, so if they would have done their work they would have known not to go either. She hijacked the bus.

Styles 1:50:41

She definitely hijacked the. I did, I had to. This is fighting back Part seven.

Petra 1:50:46

He's been running me over all night.

Ryan 1:50:50

Jay 1:51:00

But I'm just saying so yeah.

Styles 1:51:05

Yeah, like the invite for food is All right, we're going to save him from his fantasy Dessert.

Multiple PPL 1:51:08

Styles 1:51:15

All right, so this is the part where we say goodbye. Not like that, jay. No, not like that, no, there's a format to this. Okay, I was waiting, so you get to tell the people where they can find you. First of all, how'd you find the episode? Was it everything you thought it was going to be? Yeah, absolutely Nigga you're thinking too long. No, no, don't be disrespectful. I got to edit out the pause.

Jay 1:51:37

I try to think before I speak. I try to. I don't always succeed. I got you, but yeah, no, I definitely enjoyed, definitely enjoyed myself. It was everything I thought it would be, maybe even a little more. It was fun, it was funny, it was interactive, it was exciting.

Styles 1:51:56

So yeah, I'm happy to be a part of it. I like that.

Jay 1:51:57

Yeah, absolutely.

Petra 1:52:00

I love it. I appreciate the invite or whatever. However, this came together.

Styles 1:52:06

Oh, I want to tell you how it came together. Thank you, sit back, jesus.

Petra 1:52:10

He pouring his wine, yeah he did, pouring the brown.

Styles 1:52:14

Oh, my God.

Ryan 1:52:15

This dude, that man turned wine into brown.

Styles 1:52:19

Tell me how it came about, peter. So I was like yo, jay, check it out, what up? Because you know, jay and I have known each other for a long time. He's like yo, jay, what up? We coming to Charlotte, right, because we had to pivot. We supposed to be in Cali last month, but Cali was expensive, you know, shout out to Dolomite. So he was like, all right, cool, so you know, y'all going to come through, blah, blah, blah. He's like, yeah, we're going to do that whole thing. So I was like what was it last week? I was like yo, your co-host is coming right, because you're like the phantom co-host.

Styles 1:52:54

I am, you are, and I ain't mad at it.

Petra 1:52:56

He do the most on there. He be online all the time. At one point not now, I will say not now, but at one point he was on there. He was on every live and all that stuff. He was like come on, no, I'm sleeping nigga, I'm not getting on all these lives.

Styles 1:53:11

And then the beefs that be happening, but the beefs are funny to us.

Multiple PPL 1:53:15

The beefs are funny. You ever had beef before? No, no.

Petra 1:53:19

He never had beef.

Jay 1:53:20

No, he had beef with a girl. No, stop it wasn't beef.

Styles 1:53:23

That wasn't beef. Who, yeah, the DJ? I don't know nothing about that. You missed the good one, and I'm going to leave it like that, but they had it'd be too much going on.

Petra 1:53:33

No, it really does.

Styles 1:53:35

It really does at some points, because you got to understand. We get on these lives, niggas. Be bored. I ain't going to hold you. We be bored, yeah, and you gotta have. You don't have to have something. I've been on, I've jumped on lives and niggas and start alive and this person is literally just doing shit.

Petra 1:53:55

Yeah, not talking to nothing, just doing shit, and I don't like that. And another reason with the live suit, when y'all just be starting them out of nowhere some of them it's a pet peeve to me for you to be on the live in your bonnet with no bra on in the kitchen like doing stuff or whatever, and I'm just like they call that OnlyFans.

Styles 1:54:12

They just not getting paid for it.

Multiple PPL 1:54:16

I mean. It ain't a thirst trap, though, If y'all be thirsty for that.

Jay 1:54:19

a lot of times it don't be thirsty Because they be on there.

Petra 1:54:25

Them, the ones who drink the piss water and go to the first date dinner I'll be like I can't just like he'd be like just jump on, no barbecue chick. Yeah, I can't just jump on there looking crazy or whatever with my bonnet on and I just don't got the camera ready a little yeah, I don't do that, so a lot of times I'm like, if I'm already done, settled in, I ain't about to get on there. I can't find a baseball cap and some earrings. You know what's interesting? All of that is me.

Styles 1:54:53

I'm not getting on there. Nah, you know what's interesting about the bonnet thing is like I won't say that I feel disrespected, so no bonnet, but I am curious.

Petra 1:55:09

Who do you not wear the bonnet for? Exactly? You understand what I'm saying. When is it ever?

Styles 1:55:11

a problem to have the bonnet on right? When is the wig in the dry cleaners and when you get it out? I'm trying to figure that whole situation out.

Jay 1:55:16

That's just me though what's the male equivalent to the bonnet.

Petra 1:55:20

What is it? A hat, no, and it's not do-rags, because I feel like do-wags be kind of, they coordinate your do-wags a lot of times, maybe like a baggy white beater, probably Baggy beater. If you on there in a baggy, if you outside in a baggy beater, you got the Joe Button beater and they got the one on the top. Bro, I don't know.

Styles 1:55:40

These dudes is built different nowadays. Pause, I don't bro, if I fucking pluck you, you'll die, and they got the baggy beat on. That's why they shooting everything. This is fucking. They shooting everything. I want to fight Right. The fight's over. Oh, okay, so listen, I got off track, close it up. Yeah, what you got coming up where they can find you? You know that whole thing. No, you, jay, when you're doing the most you already know.

Petra 1:56:10

Yeah, you do that. You do that part, all right so listen.

Jay 1:56:14

You can catch us on grind city tv, uh no, it's not, it's just, it's on demand.

Multiple PPL 1:56:22

It's okay, it's always there.

Jay 1:56:26

We live there. Every week there's a new episode. But yeah, you can catch us on all streaming platforms. We have a weekly podcast where we discuss relationship topics and everything like that Instagram at the Cognac Room Podcast, facebook at the Cognac Room Podcast, tiktok at the Cognac Room, or no, it's jay christian run, I think, over there, jesus christ, yeah, I mean not you, but he was actually talking about jesus christ that time exclamation out here um, sure, sure.

Styles 1:57:10

So your reaction videos, right, yeah, I know you right right. So it's a little different. Not that I'm reading your thoughts, because I'm not right, that'd be an invasion of privacy a little bit, uh possible. So my thing is when you, when you do your reaction videos at any point in the talk, yes, this nigga be giving like eyebrows.

Jay 1:57:34

No, so that's something. That's this. You know, I kind of do things in phases, so I went through the phase of just that, but I was talking in the caption.

Multiple PPL 1:57:42

I'm not reading the caption. It's a video. Why am I reading the caption?

Jay 1:57:47

I don't want to read the thoughts but yeah, yeah, I will be.

Styles 1:57:50

Literally see. I see what you did there. You can read my thoughts in the captions.

Petra 1:57:56

All right. But they might think you taking. Who is it, timo style?

Jay 1:58:01

Nah, Timo talks.

Petra 1:58:02

He talks.

Jay 1:58:03

That's what I'm saying yeah, and so that's the thing too, like you know I don't want to be borrowing.

Styles 1:58:12

You know what I'm saying or seem like I'm? Borrowing from anybody else's stuff, but this is the thing you can always cite it in the footnotes that before you did it and I know that we're friends 1,700 other people did it and that's where you got it from. So it's not a it's all about making your own.

Jay 1:58:33

Exactly, exactly, yeah, absolutely, exactly, absolutely. But. But I'm working on some stuff. I actually like pulled back from doing a lot of that stuff for a season to work on something else.

Styles 1:58:37

So I've been preparing something else, uh, just like revamping how I do it. So yeah, it'll be cool, all right cool all right, I just had some questions.

Petra 1:58:45

You had some questions and possibly some commentary and or opinions. I'm here for all of them. He keeps growing. He's a grower.

Styles 1:58:58

She joined in. Ladies and gentlemen, oh, we're one in the same as much as we are Not alike.

Petra 1:59:05

You run me over with the bus, I run him over with the bus, then we drive the bus together.

Styles 1:59:09

Yeah, I see I'm thinking of that in the end we a team. You know three in the morning with no lights on the road, I got you. First I want to say thank you.

Styles 1:59:18

Because, again, like I said, I didn't have to press or push for you to come to, because obviously jay wanted you to be a part of it as well, but it was definitely, you know, the forefront of my mind that I need to have both of you, you know, and not just one of you. Um, thank you. Um. Also thank you again for being the person that you are online. You know you look mean as fuck online really. Yeah, you still, yeah, still look mean as fuck online Really.

Styles 2:00:02

Nah, nah, which is cool. You know which is cool, and then I got four brothers.

Petra 2:00:07

I grew up in a house with four boys, so it is. You know, I don't really have a pretty face.

Styles 2:00:11

I don't know how to no you have a pretty face, I mean I don't know how to you know be pretty, pretty stern face.

Petra 2:00:16

I just close my mouth and whatever my face look like, whatever you get, you get Unapproachable, nah nigga it's like nah, yeah, possibly that's, that's, that's. He might be right, though I'm not even gonna totally deny it see, that's the thing alright cool.

Petra 2:00:35

It's nice to have somebody else on the panel that's, you know, unapproachable cause, as am I um this guy right here, but you know, let me say this before you go that's why I like you on the episodes or whatever and stuff that I watch and the things, and I will join in on something. You're one of the people that I will join in with because I like how you talk and how you move and stuff like that when you be on air like I like that, I don't what's up say it to the camera, my bad, say it to the motherfucking camera.

If Jay says, okay, jump on this, and I go over there, and it's like you know a bunch of randoms I said a bunch of randoms or people I don't fool. He know I ain't getting on there. I might get in the comments and you knowters that I feel like I fuck with them and I relate to them and so I'll get on there and he's one of the ones.
