Men and Women Are Not the Problem. Misunderstanding Is. (This Is a Man’s World - Part 1)

Men and women are not the problem. Misunderstanding is.

In Part 1 of this bold, funny, and unfiltered two-part conversation, 50ish & Fab host KC Sonshine sits down with guest-host Tye to put one big question on trial:

👉 Is it really a man’s world… or are we just not understanding each other anymore?

Inspired by It's a Man's Man's Man's World by James Brown, this episode dives into men vs. women, dating after 50, communication styles, gender roles, relationship expectations, and generational differences—then vs. now.

KC brings the seasoned Gen X perspective—spiritual, experienced, and not easily impressed—while Tye, the millennial voice with confidence and edge, brings bold opinions and just enough spice to keep things interesting.

Together, they unpack:

• Why men and women communicate so differently
• Emotional maturity vs. emotional avoidance
• Dating standards and relationship expectations
• Gender roles, power dynamics, and modern dating confusion
• The real gap between Gen X and millennial perspectives

This is real talk with personality—honest, funny, and rooted in lived experience. No scripts. No filters. Just conversation that makes you think, laugh, and maybe rethink a few things.

If you’ve ever wondered:
 👉 Why does it feel like we’re speaking two different languages in relationships?

…this episode is for you.

Press play for relationship debate, grown-folk humor, and unfiltered insight—and get ready for Part 2, where the conversation goes even deeper.

Because aging gracefully is cute… but thriving after fifty? That’s FABULOUS.

If this episode spoke to you, don’t keep it to yourself—send it to another grown woman who needs it.

SPEAKER_02 0:03

This is 50-ish and sal. For women over 50 who are still becoming, still building, and definitely not done, even if life tried to convince you otherwise. This is where grown women come to tell the truth, take up space, and live out loud. I'm KC Sunshine. And around here, we're not winding down, we're leveling up. Welcome to another episode of 50-ish and fab, the High Flash Report. It's your girl, KC Sunshine, and I am so thrilled to have a special guest with me today. This is a longtime friend of mine, confidant. Um, I think we're at least a decade in, right, Tony? Yeah, like 10 of them things. But this is also the person I probably fight with the most. We disagree a little bit, you know, because we two different generations. Come on, I am Gen X, and what are you? Are you a millennial?

SPEAKER_01 1:02

Millennial.

SPEAKER_02 1:04

And um, he's uh a hardcore millennial, but I just want to I want to jump on this song quickly because today was time's song choice for us to talk about. And this is, I don't even want to say the song. Now I want to play a little bit of it. I don't know how much I can play before I would go to jail.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

I think what, less than 10 seconds?

SPEAKER_02 1:29

Okay, well, let's give them 10 seconds of this. That's probably enough to get me probation.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

Yeah. Okay, some there's gonna be some folks mad at this. And I believe that.

SPEAKER_02 1:55

Okay, so first off, I have to have my guest, Ty, introduce himself. Tell us a little bit about you, whatever you want the people to know. Um, you know, ladies of status, you know, that kind of thing. We want to know about that. So please introduce yourself to my 50-ish and fab family.

SPEAKER_01 2:15

All right. Uh this is my first time, so please bear with me. Uh Ty, uh from Brooklyn, born and raised. Best I do or die.

SPEAKER_00 2:26

Nay.

SPEAKER_01 2:26

Sorry, you know. I love Brooklyn. Most people have confused. They thought I was from Harlem. Shout out, I love Harlem.

SPEAKER_02 2:34

That's because you be dressing. You're in Brooklyn. Um, uh, wife being a page.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

But I got love for Harlem, so either way, you know, it they can always be second hole. Uh short guy? Not no tall guy here. I'm trying my best to give you folks enough base. I am naturally high pitched. I'm not gonna lie. Uh can't correct that. You gotta catch me when the seasons change and I'm like losing my voice. That's when I have a little Barry White, and you know, ladies love it. But I'll say this Prince was what, under five feet? He wore makeup and he was able to still stay, you know, still your girl with high heels.

SPEAKER_02 3:15

So you're taller than me. That's all it meant. So thank you for your introduction. Um, you have kids, uh, girlfriend, anything, wife, anything you want to share on the personal tip? Or no?

SPEAKER_01 3:28

What I will just say is I am a family man.

SPEAKER_02 3:32

Okay, well, that's a great place to start. So today is uh This is a man's world, which was a James Brown song from 1966. And it really spoke to the time because I think back in that time during the 60s, the thoughts that there were traditional gender roles where a man's place was and where a woman's place was was clear and acceptable. But nowadays in 2025, ain't nobody trying to hear all that. We can say it's a man's world, but then let's talk about the second part of that. But it wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl. Okay?

SPEAKER_01 4:14

I believe in that.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

Okay, so uh let's talk about some different topics here.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

That's cool. What I will just add one of the things I I did look at was uh actually more than masculinity, and uh how we as men today our masculinity can be deemed to be toxic on certain aspects and uh how that's affected relationships. For me personally, I think that uh as a man, you are the provider, you are the protector, but that doesn't mean that you have to be abusive to your woman at all. And I don't think that a woman who wants to help her man are you know she's seen as overly masculine.

SPEAKER_02 4:55

Okay, so I want to talk about this in segments. Well, the first thing we want to talk about, because if the conversation is this is a man's world, and then you follow that up with, but it wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl. So in talking about this, I want to sort of make the meat of this about um not necessarily gender wars. I don't want to call it that, but I do want to speak to the generational differences of how I look at things which are still somewhat old, traditional type values, versus someone your age who may look at things uh slightly more progressively. So you're saying the first topic is modern masculinity under fire, all right? So I want to speak to that because I'm in a relationship with a man in his 50s, and he has an adult son in his 30s who lives away from home, but then he has two young sons at home, 13 and 17. And since the day me and this dude start dating, he always has some kind of sports injury. Like he breaks a knuckle, an ankle, a pinky toe. He stays hurt, but he is the last one who will take a Tylenol. I'm like, bro, you need an IV of that shit. Let alone running from it. But when his son, his 17-year-old, is running around here with the red eyes from the allergies, coughing and farting and gagging, he refused to take Benadryl or anything, any kind of allergy relief medicine. And then the father wonders why. To me, that's an example of toxic masculinity because you say that you, oh, I'm too tough to do this, and then now he's second generation too tough, and both of y'all fools are suffering. If that's his idea of masculinity, I certainly consider that toxic.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

No. I disagree. What I will say is that we as men, we become very complicated, and we may want to be the protector. And I've seen this and witnessed this. As a father, you want to just protect your children by any means. But when it gets down to us, it's like we're just we put ourselves last on the list. So it's not seen that we're trying to be a hypocrite. It's just how some of us will be in our in our thinking mode. We're gonna want to always protect our children. And we will put ourselves last. We would do the same for our women. We will rush you before we rush us.

SPEAKER_02 7:22

Yeah, but while I appreciate all of that protectiveness, the reality of it is, is there's enough Tylenol for me and you.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

I'm not disagreeing.

SPEAKER_02 7:31

Because I will say It's more than one in the bottle. You understand? I don't expect you to suck down the last one and I got cramps. That's fine, my dude. But if there's three up in there, come on, we can split it.

SPEAKER_01 7:42

No, we we we tend I even I will admit, I am that that guy myself. You know, just past week, my knee was hurting. You know, did I take a talent or an et cetera? No. I elevated it, put ice back on it. It was like you just gotta heal. It healed.

SPEAKER_02 7:59

Yeah, but you did something. You weren't too tough to be like, just oh, I don't need no stinking ice. And he will say something like that.

SPEAKER_01 8:07

Listen, this.

SPEAKER_02 8:08

And I just laugh because I'm comfortable and pain-free. You big dummy.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

And then, you know, what I will say is when we get to that, let's go to some of the traumas that has affected us when it comes down to uh health care. You know, did we forget the syphilis experiment? Those traumas pass on. Hearing those stories, not being treated well. I do work in healthcare. I can tell you there are disparities. There are a lot.

SPEAKER_02 8:34

I I agree wholeheartedly, but you just touched on a very important point when you talk about it going back to trauma. I'm very familiar with the uh syphilis experiment and how we as people of color have been guinea pigs. I lost my mother to an IUD, her kidney, because they experimented on black women with that thing before they put it in anyone else. So I am familiar with the disparities, but again, in the same way that I spoke earlier about how this is the a different day that also applies as it relates to healthcare. We're familiar with the advances, right?

SPEAKER_01 9:12

We will have all the advances in the world. This is 2025, and I can tell you up front in 2025, black folks are still being discriminated against. It's we we try to say, oh, different time period. Nothing has really changed as somebody who has seen the behind the scenes phase, you know. So once again, I'm not saying that as a man, you you shouldn't take a talent or you shouldn't take the et cetera in, but I can understand sometimes the hard-headedness within us, and we will want to tough it out. We don't want to seem, you know, like we want to be either weak or too sick. We want to see him as being that provider. It's not toxic. It's just the the main frame. And then I'll say this you will get the guy that will turn around and when the guard does drop, and he has the woman that's like, I could have nagged you to death. I could have just straight up just nagged you. You ready for the talent or now? I'm gonna wait for you to feel better. Because I might throw a little nag at you. But I'm glad you took this talent or right now. Yeah, well. For us, it's like, you know what? A man is gonna be, most will be like, I knew Lord, well, she got this one. I'm just gonna sit and take the damn talent or and that's how that is. There's the hard-headedness that you will encounter. But do I think that it's toxic? No. I can understand some women when they get very pissed off in the sense that the health crisis is something serious, and you gotta really now put your niche on it. There's one thing about a toe pain, it's another when, okay, your pressure is elevated and it's been elevated now for two weeks. And I'm I'm on, I'm teen teen woman. I'm I'm I'm with her. Nah, you ain't stroking out here at home. You going to the hospital. Thank you. And and that and does that mean that she's being overly masculine? No.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

No, but then that also goes back to um my traditional old school upbringing because I am not the girl who will argue with you. If you stroke out, I'm gonna try to resuscitate you or whatever, but I don't I don't argue in my relationships. I don't even raise my voice because I just don't have the energy for that.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

You don't have to get your point across by arguing and raising your voice. It could be as simple as something as, it's been two weeks. I'm gonna tell you right now, you've not laying your head down here. If you want to go lay your head outside, that's fine. But if you're laying your head here, we're gonna go to the hospital right now. That's all I'm about to say. And you know what? He already knows what's up with that thing.

SPEAKER_02 11:52

So then we'll to to tie this back into our original topic, this is a man's world, the song topic, but also back into this particular point, modern masculinity under fire. My mistake, I said toxic when it was really modern. But I do consider the connection between what is identified as modern masculinity, not necessarily equally aligned, but there are some similarities between it and toxic max masculinity, which is why I gave the example of my partner and uh the way he operates with his sons.

SPEAKER_01 12:25

See, I don't I wouldn't consider him toxic.

SPEAKER_02 12:28

I will consider him My Boo non toxic, I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

I will consider him old school in in those ways. And as that's just something that will not change. You know, is it if we slipped it and said the same thing to there are women who don't believe in going to the hospital at all. They're the same way. Do we call them toxic? No. We have a lot of traumas that's passed on to us. So in a lot of ways, no, it wouldn't be toxic. It's just how I think it's 2025 still in survival mode. And so a lot of our ways and how we operate outside forces will come in, and I think they've applied that word toxic, and then we have a few who picked up on that word, and then they'll throw it at us. No, it's not toxic, it's survival. Now the thing is, how do we communicate that we can try to not come out of survival, but still find healthy ways in our survival? You can still go to the hospital, you can still go see that, see a doctor, look up a good one, get the referral. Because most of the doctors that you may go to at certain hospitals here in Brooklyn, but you can get a great recommendation and follow like that. You know, used to be back then, what was it, the Green Book, you know, when our people was traveling incarnito, so who to go to, who not to go to. Hey, let's update that.

SPEAKER_02 13:52

Okay, so that's good. I want to take us on to our next point, which is again, back to the topic. This is a man's world, but it wouldn't be nothing. Let's talk about providing versus partnership. How do you feel if a woman makes more money than you?

SPEAKER_01 14:10

Me personally, I will start off by saying I have been very glossed and fortunate. Most of the women that I have dated all made more than me.

SPEAKER_02 14:24

So it's not a problem.

SPEAKER_00 14:26

But let me be very clear.

SPEAKER_01 14:28

I wasn't trying to be just some candy on the arm. Okay. I've been very, very, very fortunate. These are the same women that would want to build me up and get me to a plateau. So I don't have an issue with a woman making more. I have an issue with a woman who makes more things that means that she's gonna come into the situation and she's going to be, quote, the man.

SPEAKER_02 14:54

Ooh, baby, now hold on. I'm gonna need to stop you right there. Cause I need to jump in right here because I am that woman in my relationships because I always make more. 99, I don't know about now. 99% of the time I make more than the dude.

SPEAKER_01 15:11

That's fun.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

And I used to be that chick who would lord it over his head. Oh, just because you got burger money don't mean I want a burger. I got steak money, so I buy out of steak. Not realizing how hurtful and painful that was until one day my longtime ex said to me, and I heard him, I don't remember what the situation was, but he was like, you know, you really make me feel small when you do that. And when he said it, I heard it with my heart. And he said it in such a way that it was unmistakable that if he was 10 feet tall, when I said that, he felt like an inch. And that stuck with me. And I never, ever, ever did it again because my goal has always been to help build a man, never to be one to tear one down. So that's why I had to jump in right there because I used to be that chick out of coins and buying up the bottles in the club, and he just barely tried to pay his rent. But um, yeah, no.

SPEAKER_01 16:15

A man who's comfortable, he's not going to uh feel a certain way. He a man is who's in his comfort zone, who he's good. He's not going to take that anyway. What we just require is you don't lord it and throw it in our fates. That doesn't mean that our manhood is diminished. Because I could tell you up front, some of these same women can't cook. And I'm the cook. So it would be like, alright, baby, can you just buy what I wrote on the paper? Don't don't don't get brand X unless I quit brand X food to get. And get the brand I asked you to get. Because only one of us knows how this operates. And I'm good. I'm more of the cook. And I found a lot of women can't cook. Do I lure that over her head? No. One of our dates can go be at the supermarket. And I'm good. Is that considered a renaissance man or no? You'll be surprised. You know, if we was to take this back then, how many of the men were the farmers and were also the cook?

SPEAKER_02 17:22

That's true.

SPEAKER_01 17:23

So this is not nothing new. It's just been put in a different space. There's men in my family. I have a cousin down in Georgia. He is a cook. I'm trying to kidnap him back up to New York. He knows this. My plot is to get him up here. Because my my cousin throws down. He cooks from scratch. And his father, my uncle, was a farmer. So what does that mean? And by the way, he has bass in his voice and he's like 6'2, cream nice. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna throw my neath the bus.

SPEAKER_02 17:58

You might need to be a guest on the show. I'm throwing this into a dating show. I stayed at singing girl, whip out there.

SPEAKER_01 18:03

He's married now. He's married.

SPEAKER_02 18:05

Happily?

SPEAKER_01 18:06

Oh. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 18:08

I know some helpers that'll wait him out.

SPEAKER_00 18:10

Uh this is he from Georgia now. I don't know that wife may be packing.

SPEAKER_02 18:15

Oh, yeah, she that's my home girl. She probably is. Okay, so then, number two, then it's fine that the woman makes more money than you. And it's fine with me. I'm happy to be all things female. Okay. I want you to open the doors. I'm not on that feminist movement. Now, I'm I agree with the feminist movement itself, but I don't require those type of conventional, well, not even conventional, the new things that are supposed to make us equal. I want equal pay. I'm all for that. I want more money, in fact, because I think we're smarter. Yeah, maybe it will, but I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

Some of y'all are gonna be mad. I am not a part of any or support of any feminist move. But why is it make this clear?

SPEAKER_02 19:05

Okay, go ahead. We ain't gonna talk about that too much today. That is another show. Go ahead. Go ahead and touch on it.

SPEAKER_01 19:10

I am definitely in favor of women in equal pay. I'm definitely in favor of representation for women.

SPEAKER_02 19:18

Well, that's a part of the movement.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

No. Well, that's a whole other show we will have to get into and their origins, because I will always tell any woman who happens to not be of a certain pigmentation that movement was never for you. And that's part two, I guess, guys. That's a part two. But uh, I am very much in favor of women being treated fairly. I will never take away from that. I've learned, especially when I started in my career, my original, I gotta say, be careful because y'all might interpret the word wrong, but uh I work in healthcare. So when I say partners, I mean my co-worker, my partners were all women. And I learned from them. And I say, blessed and fortunate, I'm glad I had them. If I had to work with another dude, the majority of them, I won't be profane, I would have hated them. And I would have hated even showing up. But to work with those women and to learn from them, I'm where I'm at a decade later, plus in my career because of them. So shout out to those.

SPEAKER_02 20:22

Shout out to them.

SPEAKER_01 20:24

I will never disparage a woman. And I've learned a lot from women. I've even learned how to drive from a woman.

SPEAKER_02 20:31

And this is I got in a car with you, and it don't put that on her. She might have taught you with them fast curves in New York Tim, but that's all you Nah.

SPEAKER_01 20:41

My mother drove a Monte Carlo, and I watched my mother drive a Monte Carlo when I was growing up. So I don't want to want to interpret, oh, he's sexist. No, no, no, no, no. I did not say that. I just want to be clear.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

Okay, well, I ain't mad at that. You know, again, this is the type of show 50 and fair. We grown folk up in here.

SPEAKER_01 21:04

Oh, I'm gonna say this. This is one thing with Gen X. And I have no issues with Gen X because I have siblings that are Gen X. So a lot of my music and a lot of stuff I got from Gen X. So, unlike some millennials who may not have a sibling that's Gen X, like I can go to a Big Daddy King concert, and I know the words. I was there with my sister, and people was like astonished, like, how does he know? Because she was dragging me.

SPEAKER_02 21:35

That's called love, boo-boo. I want to move on to another point.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 21:39

Because we don't have a whole lot of time, but I want to get through as much as I can today. There will be an episode, part two, to this. When James Brown, the godfather of soul, saying, This is a man's world, it was power. But when he followed it with, but it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl, that was humility. And I think I say that because now in this day and age where I don't need a man, I don't need a woman, I don't need a something, I think that's a very important point because I can admit that I'm better with a partner. And I can't say that when I was younger, when I would have been a that millennial era of my life, if I would have been quite as receptive, because I pretty much was good doing whatever I needed to do on my own. I had a partner by choice, but I it wasn't, it was KCs were I was good.

SPEAKER_01 22:35

Hmm. You say humility, I say it was respect. It's something that we've always had in our culture. We've outside that. We always had respect, you know, and to re and to reflect and remember our women. You don't go around just disrespecting or hurting, I'm uh or abusing any of that. I don't care if you made a baby with her and you can't stand her guts, you have a child with her. You do your best to be that father, be that man, because regardless of what, unless she's done been horrendous, she is a representation of you.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

Well, but if he she is horrendous.

SPEAKER_01 23:16

If she's horrendous, then you should be a man and you should want to then get your child. And that doesn't mean that you disparage her to the child. Right. You let the child find all that out on their own. Um, because when you start doing that, what's gonna eventually happen is the child's gonna turn on you. So you just let it be where the child's gonna naturally pick that up on their own. But I support the fact that when he said it wouldn't be anything, you have to remember the woman is the first teacher. So you are to cherish that. I think that a lot of times the ideologies have come into our community and have done a nasty infiltration that they have been out of their core. And I think that some of the dudes that's out here today are out of their core. So we have like an out-of-order type of behavior going on. I think if he was just paying homage of respect to women, and there's nothing wrong with that. It wouldn't be anything we didn't have our women. You're like our support, our healer, and people think that that's disparaging. No, that's the core, that's the family.

SPEAKER_02 24:19

Okay, so let me give a bit of background. Now, I have a segment on my show called The Hot Flash, and that is usually a little-known fact about the song. I usually start with that, but today I think this is a very important time to bring it in. So here's the story. James Brown released This Is a Man's World in 1966, the middle of the civil rights movement, when America was redefining who had power and who didn't. Here's the unusual fact. The concept and much of the lyrics came from Betty Jean Newsom, James Brown's then girlfriend. She said she wrote it after watching how society praised men for what they built, but ignored women's contributions that gave those things purpose. Now listen to the lyrics. This is a man's world, but it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl. That's not just a love line, that's a whole confession. James was saying, men may build the structures, but women give them soul.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

That's very true. And I think that that's something that a lot of those groups they failed on. You did not take care of your base, your support. The women, there's a lot of women that are unmentioned that should not be unmentioned, if not for them, the homes that they provided for when brothers would come through and had to be protected. That's not something to be disregarded. Right. You know, uh, what was the movie that uh Siraj P. Henson, Monet, and Octavia Spencer did? Hidden figures? Hidden figures. Hidden figures. And that's something that we should be embracing. There are women who have been inventors, and we should be embracing. As I said before earlier, I started my career and I worked with women. I know their names. One has uh passed on, and uh I've learned so much from her. As a man, we should never ever think that we should not recollect and call their name. We call their names. And if you can't call their name, well, I don't know what kind of man you are, but uh I I don't think I want to know.

SPEAKER_02 26:30

Okay, I've got one more point before we close. Now, in the time when this was written, again, I'll go back to the fact that in the 60s and 70s and that time, there were what were considered traditional gender roles. Men did this, women did that. I was raised in a house where the women did all of the housework inside and the men took care of the outside in the cars. That was just how I was raised. I can't say whether it was whatever it was, any kind of sexist, whizzes, is some kind of is, whatever. It was just cool, right? That was, we was raising this out, and that's just what we did. So now that the topic that I want to touch on briefly is gender pride or gender purpose. Because now, how does any of this really apply when gender is basically kind of out the window? There's gender fluid, there's trans, there's gender non-conforming, there's all of these different categories now. So do, or does this principle that uh the concept, does that even apply in today's society when gender has almost been erased?

SPEAKER_01 27:37

It has not been erased. I think that uh you have folks who want to erase it for their own intentions, it has not been erased. I think that you're seeing it today where you have some women that are complaining about working as hard and and having to juggle. And this is not to be condescending. But it's not easy on most women, especially if you have a family.

SPEAKER_02 28:03

True.

SPEAKER_01 28:04

So this is where we as the man come along, and that's what we pick up.

SPEAKER_02 28:09

Let me go back and instead of saying erase, let me say that it has been expanded because even today, you this is the first time in history, I would say, in this last 10 years, where there's ever been an X on a driver's license. So when I say erase is a strong word, but I'll say the options have been expanded because now you don't have to claim and check a box. Even though the born as what's what is the proper term that they use?

SPEAKER_01 28:35

I don't know, but that's called assigned at birth. That's gonna be a part three. I'm trying. I I I'm trying not to get in trouble a little bit, but I will just say this uh don't fall into that trip back. Because you'll you're taking on a lot of uh conceptions that pe outside people are trying to put into you, and then you're making that part of your norm. That's not your norm. It's never been a part of your norm, and that's why when you try to put it in a relationship, you wind up falling. Because it was never part of your norm. For me, like I said, five for seven, high pitch voice, I'm a man. I was born a male, and I will move accordingly. That does not mean that I think that a woman is subservient or beneath me. In terms of traditional roles, I say to that, uh what was so much the problem with the traditional role? Not saying that, you know, there were women who wanted to probably go out into the workforce, and that's fine. She should be embracing, she should be able to do her thing. It shouldn't be stigmas placed against her for doing that. But if you have the woman who says, I want to be a housewife, she should have that option as well. As I said today, in times, like I said, I've dated women who've made more, but um, I'm the cook. Do I look down upon her because she doesn't cook as good as I do? No.

SPEAKER_02 30:10

I just feel like if you you know, I'm not mad at people being able to identify a certain way. I identify as rich.

SPEAKER_01 30:20

I identify as uh male and potentially getting there to rich rich hood.

SPEAKER_02 30:26

Yeah, well, I identify as that today. They can identify as whatever they want. But I feel like if you identify, you should be able to have all the aches and pains. Like if you identify as a woman, get a period.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

I agree.

SPEAKER_02 30:39

You should have to go through all the drama that we go through if you're gonna be claiming up to be on this team. I ain't mad at you. Come on over here, but take it all.

SPEAKER_01 30:48

I agree, but I'm trying to not three of fart three, because some people might get mad at me. And uh you can be mad, but I'll say this. I am I'm traditional on that matter. But at the same time, I respect people and what their purposes will be. Don't ask me to call you certain crazy names, though, but I can be respectful.

SPEAKER_02 31:12

Okay. So I am going to thank you for my guest. Thank you for being my guest, Ty. I'm gonna have to have you back to continue uh two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight episodes. Because I'm sure there will be some questions and concerns in the comments on my website or on my socials, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

SPEAKER_01 31:35

It might be so Can I make one point? Sure, absolutely. There's a version of this song. Um, I forgot the um the guy's name. He's uh an opera singer who passed away. He's very famous. He was the heavyset guy, that's all I know. Telling guy. And if you should go on YouTube and put James Brown and put like, I guess like the opera version, him and and the gentleman, his name slipped my mind. They're both singing it. He's singing it in the opera version, James Brown singing it in the soul version. And I just thought that was a dope version uh update to that song. So I would just put that out there.

SPEAKER_02 32:09

Yeah, that does sound dope. Okay, so you guys run out there and get the opera the opera version. I hope I don't go to jail for using it.

SPEAKER_01 32:16

The YouTube send of a gap. Well, I did say it's on YouTube. So therefore, YouTube, you cannot sue me if it's still sitting on your platform.

SPEAKER_02 32:26

No, I'm talking about because I played at the top of the show, but it's okay. We're gonna act like that didn't happen. Y'all better not tell nobody because I can't go to jail. Okay, so now I am going to close out the show with put some Jesus on it, which is always my way of leaving the show on a high note. And uh today I want us to, even though we love this song. Genesis reminds us that God made man first, yes. But then he said it is not good for man to be alone, so he made woman. Not from dust like man. Maybe that's why y'all are ashier. But he made woman from his rib, which is close to the man's heart. So I'll take my place and I'm happy about that. The world might start with man's power, but it's complete about woman's purpose. In other words, we basically need each other.

SPEAKER_01 33:11

And I still got my Shea button, coconut or ash.

SPEAKER_02 33:16

Yeah, okay. He ain't ashy out. So you can build the house, but only love makes a house a home. Lastly, do you have any closing words, Ty, for my listeners? Anything you want to say? Benediction? Go ahead and just give us the last words.

SPEAKER_01 33:32

This is my first time being on this, so I will say thank you. Hopefully, if it, you know, helped anybody, that's great. Question, comments, I take it all. I don't have a problem with that. And uh, I don't want to come off and want to think that I'm sexist at all. No, not at all. But I have my standards and I stand on that. And I appreciate you for just taking the time to hear my words.

SPEAKER_02 33:55

So thank you. All right. So this is what this was a man's world, but now it's our world with love, grace, and good Wi-Fi. Okay, so I thank you all for listening. Please like, share, subscribe, check us out on YouTube. And uh remember that the God in me honors the God in you. Shalom.

SPEAKER_01 34:16

Take care, everyone.
