What happens when three unfiltered personalities tackle everything from haunted real estate to Robin Hood-style hackers? The Feed Watchers delivers their most dynamic episode yet as hosts Eric and Ronnita welcome special guest Niana Renee for a no-holds-barred conversation that will have you laughing, thinking, and maybe blushing a little.

The chemistry between the trio ignites immediately as they dive into unexpected refrigerator essentials, with Ayana shocking everyone by revealing the intimate benefits of "okra water" – a conversation that sets the tone for the episode's refreshing candor. Their exploration of why card games like Uno and Spades might be relationship destroyers resonates with anyone who's ever experienced the unique tension of competitive gameplay with a significant other.

When the conversation shifts to whether an $80,000 five-bedroom haunted house would be worth the supernatural roommates, the hosts reveal their vastly different approaches to risk and value. Ayana's consideration of befriending "fine ghosts" contrasts hilariously with Renita's firm rejection of paranormal cohabitation, sparking a deeper discussion about what we're willing to compromise for affordability in today's housing market.

Perhaps the most powerful segment emerges from their analysis of carrying past traumas into present relationships. "Never be a prisoner of your past. It was just a lesson, not a life sentence," becomes a touchstone for exploring how unhealed wounds affect our connections with others. The guest's insight that "hurt people hurt people, but healed people heal people" offers listeners a profound perspective on breaking destructive patterns.

The episode culminates with their takes on the Mississippi man who hacked food stamp applications to award $2,500 to recipients – a Robin Hood tale for the digital age that prompts questions about social justice, systemic inequality, and whether credit scores themselves are just another form of societal bondage.

Speaker 3

Okra water . It will most definitely benefit you , yes , and especially with women , you know , especially older women , because they tend to go through menopause and you deal with dryness and you don't want to , you know . Yeah , you want to keep them YNs happy .

Speaker 1

Never mind , we're going to need that one a long time . We do not support the YNs on this show at all . Y'all YNs stay somewhere , go on somewhere .

Speaker 2

Y'all YL stay somewhere , go on somewhere . Y'all , y'all need to leave them . We ain't gonna start that one . The YL's See , we don't want the . He want the women , he want the young .

Speaker 3

See , with the youngins , you can kind of mold them a little bit , but not you , we as women . Older women , it's a thing . They keep that energy . They don't need the Vi I need . But not you , we as women , you know . Older women , it's a thing , you know . They keep that energy .

Speaker 2

They don't need the Viagra , they go round and round and most older men , like you said they can't . You know , like women , we naturally , and it's no shade , I'm just being real now .

Speaker 1

In most situations women . You know we age . You know a whole lot better , yeah , and you know we can keep up . You know nobody getting a cramp Two moves .

Speaker 3

I've been stroking . Yeah , that's what I've been doing .

Speaker 1

Oh my God , All right , we going to get into the first meme of the day . This one was the one I saw and I thought man , this is so accurate for couples for sure . If you are a loving couple in a relationship , do not play Uno . I repeat , do not play Uno . Repeat , do not play uno . Almost lost my damn marriage hit when she hit me with that draw four . That ain't accurate .

Speaker 1

People in relationships are competitive a lot of times and card games is not a good way to keep your relationship like . I know you're supposed

Card Games Ruining Relationships

Speaker 1

to do things to keep things spicy and interesting and all that , but card games is probably something you should stay away from because it gets a little out of hand , I believe , when it gets to the competitiveness of a card game , especially if it's like uno and definitely spades yeah , if you playing spades with your partner and your partner not keeping up the end of the bargain .

Speaker 1

That's probably gonna end up . That's gonna end up in a real bad situation because y'all probably not gonna want to talk to each other for a couple days , like they ain't gonna forget that . So like I just don't suggest playing cards with your partner . How do you feel , renita like ?

Speaker 2

yeah , I agree , but it's like I'm not a card , don't come for me .

Speaker 1

I am not a card player you know how to play on , all right yeah , I mean I do , but I am not a card player . You know how to play Uno , right ? Yeah , I mean , I do .

Speaker 2

But I'm not a card player . You know how to play spades ? Nah , I can , but don't you want to put me on your team . Look , when I was a little girl , my grandma used to have Like a little jukebox .

Speaker 1

So I grew up .

Speaker 2

Like a little . You know everybody playing cards and you know taking . They got gambling parties , all that going on and them card games used to get serious . So I just like I ain't want no parts because you get cussed out . Like you said , you don't even got to be significant other . Your cousin , your homegirls , like you . Somebody will fall out with you , especially spades , especially when there's money on the table . So I just you know what , let me just stay away . I'll be the bartender .

Speaker 1

I got you . Does your significant other know how to play spades ?

Speaker 2

No , he doesn't play Like he's not a card player . Okay .

Speaker 1

He want to take your playing cards over there .

Speaker 3

He gonna take mine too , cause I don't know how to . I mean , I know how to play , I know the concept , but , like you was saying , nobody really want to teach you .

Speaker 2

Cause they kind of throw you out on the table , that's it .

Speaker 3

It's kind of like just oh , you got to look at what we do , so how the hell and the worst thing when they have these car parties .

Speaker 2

Like everybody , got their own different rules so it's like one person might call this oh you doing this ? You could ? No , you can't play the joke .

Speaker 1

I'm like what , but just like just like we was talking about before the show started . We're needing you when you trying to learn something from your partner and they're trying to teach you something they know very well and they're trying to teach it to you . They can get real frustrated doing that and with spades . Oh ain't nothing more frustrating than trying to teach somebody how to play spades . I'm telling you Because it's not , it's . There's no wrong way to play it . I'll say but they're . But everybody has their individual ways of how they play spades .

Speaker 3

I think my only issue with spades is the fact that if I say I have three in the possible , then you get mad at me because I actually have four . Why is that ? You know what I'm saying .

Speaker 1

Or five , Like I thought it would be a good thing we done overbooked and that's on you now but what's on me ?

Speaker 3

me winning , we not winning , though , so we losing if we don't guess right ? Yes so basically , in a sense , we we playing poker too that's what I feel like it's like space and poker , because it's like if I won , won , why is it wrong for me to tell what if I don't want to tell you my real , you know , want to lie , so I can't fabricate .

Speaker 1

No , you cannot fabricate . You got to be very honest when you play .

Speaker 3

See , that's why I don't play . I'd be cheating at Uno . I'd be hiding the cards . You'd be cheating at Uno . Oh , I know , I'll be hiding the cards . Oh , I'll be hiding the cards for sure , and pull them out . Yeah , I'm getting them .

Speaker 1

Draw fours on you and skips every time . Skip and see , I can't play uno with people like you and you know they got the new one . You can write out what you want and that make it kind of weird . Yeah , that's just cheating . No , no , no , all right . So , renita , give us the next topic .

Speaker 1

We ain't going to be able to ride .

Speaker 3

Just jump in his body and make him shit his self .

Speaker 2

Tell him that you sent him . You gotta tell him , I sent him look at you .

Speaker 3

I did this to you why , but nah , I most definitely cause I love scary movies you know , spirits just need I always my favorite show was Ghost Whisper , you know , and she always helped them . You know , spirit just needs I . Always my favorite show was Ghost Whisperer , you know , and she always helped them .

Speaker 1

So for you . It ain't even about the cheapness of the house , it's just yeah .

Speaker 3

that's who we got a house and we vibing Like , okay , spirit , you know , maybe I meet Casper , I don't know . You know it feels cool .

Speaker 1

She wants to meet the friendly ghost , the friendly ghost .

Speaker 3

So he ghost , the friendly ghost , so he might have some money . You know what you could do with a ghost rob a bank .

Speaker 1

It's so many like I'm just saying , like I'm trying to come up personally , I've never met a ghost , so , no , I don't know what I can do with a ghost she over here visualizing the whole movie we could get to the bag for real , gonna raise some of that debt off my credit score .

Speaker 3

It's just starting to bleed . Okay , your ghost is over here committing felonies , yeah , but who gonna catch him ? Ghostbusters , oh God .

Speaker 2

Okay , go ahead , okay so I have this one Never be a prisoner of your past . It was just a lesson , not a life sentence .

Speaker 1

For some people that resonates , for some people not so much , but I get the overall , the overall Premise of that . Yes , speak on that , renee . Okay , the overall premise of that is Speak on that , renee .

Speaker 3

Okay , so I really feel like it's more so . Don't let your past hold you in captivity , for real . Because a lot of times we judge based on our past .

Speaker 3

We judge the next person , even when you were discussing relationships . Sometimes when you meet somebody you don't know how hard

Breaking Free from Your Past

Speaker 3

it is to love them and see you do Right , you know , and you start helping them , unpack different things and different traumas . Sometimes people never really had anybody to really sit there to really say , hey , this is really a heavy load . Like this is how you really work through this process , and sometimes we allow ourselves to walk around with that trauma to the point we start bleeding on every person that we come in contact with because we are hurt you know , it's more so like you got to learn to unpack it and heal from it and not let it become your prison , meaning holding you in captivity stopping you from getting somebody who's really meant for you .

Speaker 3

You know , sometimes everybody hurt . People hurt people , like they say but heal people , heal people . Yeah , that is very true , but to truly fully heal , like you said you have to move on and stop looking in the past and move on to the . You know future and people got to be a safe space for that .

Speaker 3

You know somebody . You can't just tell somebody like , move on , you got to a safe space for that . You know somebody . You can't just tell somebody like , move on , you gotta really be a safe space so they can really unpack . If you're really genuinely about it , you know that's like someone . You know everybody will say , hey , how you doing . But who really ?

Speaker 2

means it you ?

Speaker 3

know what I'm saying . It becomes one of those vague things like hey , how you doing yeah , but when I say hey , how you doing , I'm really meaning how you doing , like , what's your mental , what you feeling today ? You know do you have a capacity for humans . Today you know because you never know , with anybody you might be that one person lifeline from doing something damaging .

Speaker 1

today , and that's a way that I feel like a lot more people need to look at it . Definitely , look out for people and think more , so not as just common courtesy , like you said , and actually mean what you say . Put feeling behind your words .

Speaker 3

Just don't be doing all that ranting , because you got the ones that you . That's a word . It's like okay yeah , my cat just went and you know the dog died and I'm like , okay , you stuck with them .

Speaker 1

Got to be with them people for 8 to 12 hours . Yeah , stick it up , come out and stick it up .

Speaker 3

Right , I'm like you know what At this point ? Just pay me what you pay your therapist that you should have went to .

Speaker 1

They don't go to therapy . Those type of people , you are their therapist , you just don't get paid for it .

Speaker 3

I learned something from my therapist .

Speaker 1

They get free therapy from you .

Speaker 3

They ain't going to pay you Nah just like cash out me PayPal , I swipe cards , I guess Square .

Speaker 1

I swipe cards . That sounds bad , okay . My next one says for people who are in relationships who have different phones . It says I love you enough to make our iPhone-Samsung relationship work . For people that are Samsung users I'm not going to knock y'all , I'm an iPhone user personally . I love my iPhone . I would never give it up . But you know , you Samsung people kind of feel like you are kind of superior in some kind of way or something like that . But if you can be in a relationship with somebody that has a totally different phone from you , like if your iPhone , their Samsung , I believe that's a real deep connection , because them two people don't really generally tend to see eye to eye on a lot of different things .

Speaker 1

So I just yeah , that's a deep one , because if you're an iPhone user and you date the Samsung user , yeah , that's going to be an uphill battle Because they always going to be trying to convert you over to the dark side , and I don't agree with that . Wait a minute , what are you ? What kind of phone are you ? I'm Samsung . He's Samsung Samsung . Okay , so y'all had that issue .

Speaker 2

But see , even if he was iPhone I'm not like a phone it wouldn't matter to me .

Speaker 1

So you wouldn't try to cover him to the dark side .

Speaker 2

No , the phone ain't got nothing to do with us . You better answer that thing when I'm calling and texting . I don't care if you got a Moto Google , I don't care if you got a Moto Google .

Speaker 1

I don't care , some people use that as an excuse too . I got an iPhone . You got a Samsung . The messages don't link up .

Speaker 3

Who does that not grown people ?

Speaker 1

They call themselves grown .

Speaker 3

No , like who does that ? Unless you pay , you pay the bill . So if they're paying the bill that makes it like I don't care hey if you want me , team android , you know give me another android I actually was an android girl for a long time . I end up getting an iphone because my phone broke and yeah , I don't phones , so don't judge me . I had an S7 .

Speaker 1

An S7? .

Speaker 3

Yeah , was it an Edge ? Yep , and it had broke , and so I was trying to find the cheapest phone and when I went into Walmart it was like that phone was like $300 . I was like , oh nah . And so it was just this little iPhone 6 that was like $99 . So I got with it and ever since then I was that , was it .

Speaker 1

See , but I'll go back to Android though I'll go back to Android Siri .

Speaker 3

She don't talk to me no more . I guess I asked her too many questions . She acted funny . Okay , we need to go into your next reel . She acted funny .

Speaker 3

No , if you really pay attention , like how it's crazy , though , but how society looks at it , if you viral you that person , they just gonna throw their money at you . You see why you think all these men getting in dresses and stuff . Now , like you see it , you can't go on a page and not see that number .

Speaker 1

Unfortunately .

Speaker 3

Yeah , you know what I'm saying . I be just scrolling and I run across something crazy and I'm like I see a big behind pop belly dude in a bunny suit with lipstick on and a blonde wig saying hey , bestie , I don't know , have you seen that guy ? No , I ain't seen that guy no I have to find it .

Speaker 3

It's crazy what ? Yeah , he got his belt , he look like winnie the pooh with lipstick , but he look like he got beat in the face with some coins with bunny ears and stuff hopping around too , like bestie , bestie .

Speaker 2

So you know if they like it .

Speaker 3

I love it , though they ain't hurting nobody . Get your money , I'm trying to build my content up to get paid .

Speaker 1

I'm around in a bunny suit . Definitely won't see me in , no bunny suits Not doing that .

Speaker 3

Some things I have for that , or have fake beef with people online . Yeah , that's stupid .

Speaker 1

If you don't like somebody , you don't like them for real . I mean , I come up from a different time frame where you didn't like somebody , you didn't like them .

Speaker 3

But you know , I ain't nothing hit harder than the 90s , though you know you can really see the times when , if you was grateful to be in the 90s , you most definitely it feels like what the you look at things like this they actually . You know , music was music then everything you know .

Speaker 1

Sure , yeah , most definitely all right . So the next one we have I'm going with this one says a job that was highly once respected , but now is a complete joke . Um , renita , what's the job you think was highly once respected and now it's a joke to people ?

Speaker 2

I don't know , that's kind of that's a kind of a hard one . Um , I'm gonna pass it , she's gonna pass it .

Speaker 3

I'll say mine , okay , we'llall listening to me , I'll say mine .

Speaker 1

Okay , we'll go with mine . Mine is teachers . I'll say teachers . What Teachers used to be very highly respected . First of all , back when I was in school , teachers got a different level of respect Because teachers could put their hands on you Back in them days and like they can't do certain things the way that they used to be able to do them back then Getting paddled , yeah

Credit Scores and Final Thoughts

Speaker 1

, paddled . Yeah , paddled . I mean , they dealt with discipline on a totally different level back then .

Speaker 1

So now teachers are really limited in the things that they can do , so the respect is completely going out the window for teachers .

Speaker 3

I think they too busy trying to be sexy now , though , but see now see , I have to disagree . That's the problem .

Speaker 2

I have to disagree because from my experience , you know , with the teachers , you know that I work around Okay , I'm not a teacher or nothing like that . They are like 96% of them like stand on business . You know they're firm , like it's that old school level of teaching . Of course , no , ain't nobody putting their hands on nobody . But when I say close , when they say close their mouth or what it close , tell the kids you know what to do .

Speaker 2

It's like you can tell that it's still there , like that old school teaching you know , and I've been some of them , yeah , with my um , like for my children , with them going to school . I could tell a difference , like from a teacher , a nowadays teacher , that like don't really care . You know what I'm saying like , like what the child , if the child is learning their progress and stuff . But then you know , I see the teachers that I work around and they're like you know , like they're there like every five days a week making sure you know those kids are learning , they're enforcing it , like it's just it's that old school teaching , you know it's like , but it's still a little different .

Speaker 1

It's still a little different , man , I'm telling you right now it's still a little different . Teachers are a lot quicker to back down to certain things than they were back in those days , back in the days when I was coming up .

Speaker 3

What's the ?

Speaker 1

profession . You think , Renee , that ?

Speaker 3

I would say the weatherman , because they can't get shit right now . That's their fault , though Back in the day they used to be so accurate .

Speaker 1

Did they now back in the ?

Speaker 3

day they used to be so accurate , did they really ? Or we just weren't really paying attention ? Maybe we weren't paying attention , I don't know . But now , if you like , it's raining and you know six o'clock , you don't see no rain or it's gonna be a sunny bright day all day today , all day long or supposed to be hot , but then , all of a sudden , it get cold .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I definitely don't respect the weatherman . I have nothing good to say about any weatherman , any weather broadcast or anything , because they can't get shit right .

Speaker 3

How many dates did I mess up for you ?

Speaker 1

Nope One so far . Oh the weatherman , I see you looking One so far oh dude I , I see you looking ?

Speaker 3

Oh dude , I see you looking .

Speaker 1

That's a good one last week . Thank you for that weatherman .

Speaker 3

Dang , I knew it sounded personal , very personal .

Speaker 1

You get another shot Fireworks , but okay .

Speaker 3

It's all right , you get another shot . You get another shot , you got forever .

Speaker 2

So you get another shot .

Speaker 1

You know , All right , radita . Alright , give me the next one .

Speaker 2

Okay , my next one . Again , I was scrolling , I saw this one . My son would have been Five today if CVS Wasn't open .

Speaker 3

Wait , what she got that plan B ? No , actually it was a dude .

Speaker 2

Oh wow she got that plan B ? No , actually it was a dude . It was a dude that posted oh wow .

Speaker 3

He brought a plan B . All they needed Was some neem oil . You ain't even gotta spend . Don't spend , don't waste your 35 or 59.99 . Just get some neem oil . Ladies , right before the do and after , rub some on your skin , it'll go a long way Drink some tea here you go you really said that bro .

Speaker 1

You really posted that , like you and that woman Cannot be together no more .

Speaker 3

That's crazy , ain't no way you still With that woman . But I mean , at least he honest Cause maybe he would've been A deadbeat In and out . You know he clearly is a deadbeat Ain't no , woulda been .

Speaker 3

I mean , but see , he just was . I feel like he was responsible . Think about the ones that ain't gonna care and they let the kids just be raised by a single parent . I mean , I feel like that was responsible . I can't knock bro , I ain't gonna lie , I'm knocking . I can't knock him . You know , I probably would have told him get that and I'm gonna drink some Neem tea .

Speaker 1

Probably would have told him get that and I'm gonna drink some Neem tea , neem tea and some red raspberry tea by the mix that together make a concoction . That mean my man . I'm like painting a picture in my head right now .

Speaker 3

He didn't say every time , though , he at least said one . You got what I'm saying . He said all my kids . He said one . So that mean , at one moment he knew he wasn't gonna be stuck with her crazy ass . Let's think about it , let's talk about it .

Speaker 1

That's true , but I mean I'm picturing him running in the CVS . It's like he caught it at what 9.58 he was at that counter like hey , I need these right now , I need these pills , I gotta have this right now .

Speaker 3

What if he would have just had them and stocked up in his cabinet ? Then he would have known something you know . And that to-go bag did you see ? Where they sent them with the to-go bag . It was like some after-night dudes be handing out bags . They have like snacks in it for the morning . After it had a pill in it it had stuff in it .

Speaker 3

Listen , I don't heard he has so many . Listen , I've heard of Parting gifts . But damn , a plan B in the parting gift ? Yeah , most definitely . That's cold Like , yeah , go ahead and get that up out , you Get that up out you , my boy Wild night . They on that . Don Julio Act of Julio .

Speaker 2

The Blanco .

Speaker 3

Gotta be more careful guys Gotta be , more careful .

Speaker 1

I saw this one . I thought this was pretty creative . It's a popular barber in Houston that started a $150 membership per month for four haircuts . Is it a good deal or is he tripping ? I feel like that's a good deal or is he tripping ? I feel like that's a good deal because I mean , judging by the average cost of a haircut nowadays 150 for four a month I mean most people probably ain't even gonna take advantage of those four .

Speaker 1

But just having that already taken care of and you don't even have to worry about you know , you just go pop up at the barbershop that four times . You know , hey , I'm already good , that's , that's a pretty good deal . I'm . I'm not knocking that . I think that's good business on his side . You know he gonna get a good membership . He gonna get a bunch of customers that's gonna sign up for that membership and they gonna definitely be willing to just go ahead and drop that 150 and not have to worry about it . That's , that's something they can go ahead and already put in their you know , bills , planning and all that for the month .

Speaker 3

Right there they can already be taken care of I think that would be good for somebody who have like plies head and I was just about to say you know what I'm saying , if you got a big head , then that would be beneficial , but if you got a little teeny head and you just getting a quick cut man .

Speaker 1

You do realize barbers charge like they don't charge by the size of the head right .

Speaker 3

I mean they should .

Speaker 1

Because I don't want to be paying for big head people prices .

Speaker 3

They don't , Unfortunately they don't , so what's included in this too , like they going to put this paint on the beard . They going to wash it .

Speaker 1

They didn't say what's included in this .

Speaker 3

What if it's just a regular snip and then with the scissors and like go ahead . It just says four haircuts for $150 .

Speaker 1

It doesn't say what's included .

Speaker 3

It just says four haircuts . So you'll take that . I will take that . Yeah , how much are your haircuts ?

Speaker 1

Ryan , between $40 , $30 , $40 . But that includes like beard and all that too , yeah .

Speaker 2

And see , that's the thing . I think he would have to be more specific , specific like on what he's providing , because a lot of barbers they dissect that thing like a hairdresser .

Speaker 1

Oh yeah , oh for sure , and that's why I said but I mean as a female if a hairstylist going back to it if a hairstylist had a membership plan where she was charging , you know , a monthly fee , would y'all subscribe to that ?

Speaker 3

yeah , if it seems like the math is mathing .

Speaker 1

I know it's not gonna be $150 .

Speaker 3

I'm gonna tell you that right now I mean stuff a lot now like my thing against . I have no issue with people and how much they charge to do hair but , wash the damn hair . Wow , why I gotta wash you . Back in the day birth I used to wash your hair . You know grease scalp , put a hot oil treatment in and everything .

Speaker 1

You can't get all that now you can't get all that now .

Speaker 3

They won't come wash how . You not even know how to wash hair . You probably you know some people don't know how to wash their ass , let alone their hair . I just saw something .

Speaker 1

I hope everybody knows how to wash their ass . No , you will be surprised .

Speaker 3

But that's a whole other subject .

Speaker 2

I saw something online about that when I was searching , you know , for my little Ones for this week . One stylist . She was saying , you know , she does like lace fronts and stuff . So she was like you know , it's included Shampoo , condition , all that Bray down and Installing the lace wig . She was like I'm not A braider . You know most braiders . When you come to get Like box braids or whatever goddess braids , stitch braids , they're like come washed okay and I think it's the difference .

Speaker 2

So the braiders were like commenting under the post and they were saying like well , I'm not um , you know , I don't do hair you know , I just braided , so you need to wash and do all that or go to someone to get that done .

Speaker 3

Yeah , and I'm thinking you do hair . You , you got to wash hair . Like how you going to put braids , even with people who are locticians , like I feel like why are you going to retwist a hair that you know that ?

Speaker 2

white stuff on top .

Speaker 3

Right . Like you just , you know , promote the service and just go ahead and put add in washing it with it , Like when you give your service . I just feel like we need to bring back washing hair before doing it , because everybody don't know how to take care of their scalp , and that's the point . That's just like you go to a nail tech she's going to take the time and she's going to push cuticles back .

Speaker 3

She's going to make sure you know before she just got some nails on . Okay , I just feel like that should be part of the service .

Speaker 1

So zone okay . So I just feel like that just part of that should be part of the service . So , yeah , we I'm a little young brother for trying , for trying that out , and I believe that's a good idea . You should keep that going , guys . Uh , barbers out there you might want to take note , try to try that out well , they do take that , some of them some of them don't believe in that .

Speaker 3

So now they got it and they never miss a haircut don't believe it's nothing but straight cash .

Speaker 1

They don't believe in that afterpay and all that .

Speaker 3

Oh yeah , Now you got to do style seats and stuff like that . You got to book them on that Okay .

Speaker 1

All right , Renita , what you got .

Speaker 2

Okay . Sometimes people don't see the problem with their actions because they hang around people who normalize it .

Speaker 1

That is so true . Um some people love to hang around nothing . But yes man , yes women uh , yes people . Um you're , you can't see your actions clearly if you have somebody that's around you that's telling you what you want to hear and not what you need to hear . So so I definitely agree with that statement .

Speaker 2

How do you feel about it ? Renita ? The same . Like a lot of times it's like it's basically , I think that one is pretty much it explains itself Like it is what it is . Like sometimes you know it could be any situation Like you might not feel like what you're doing or what you're saying is wrong , because just what it says you're so used to being around people that it's normal to them or they have the same you know way of doing things .

Speaker 1

How do you feel about that pal ?

Speaker 3

I don't like , yes , people around me , you don't . No , I'm not a yes person either . And I'm not a yes person either . I'm always that direct person I have always been . I'm going to give it to you , blunt and straight up , right then . And there Nah we not doing that . Am I wrong ? The fact that you gotta ask ? If you wrong , then you know you wrong .

Speaker 3

But I'm going to promote your shenanigans . You know , I'm saying sometimes , sometimes , yeah , but I'm gonna tell my friend like she wrong , but I'm and I'm gonna give her a good reason . But I'm like but you know , you're doing this out of anger , you're reacting out of anger , but yeah , we could still go bust his limbs out of her .

Speaker 2

I'm down oh wait , playing , jasmine , ain't it you ?

Speaker 1

playing both sides of the fence . You can't tell her that's a bad idea and then go hit her . No , but I'm holding her accountable .

Speaker 3

But I'm also letting her know that I got your back and you're foolish . You know sometimes we be delusional . In the moment I'ma let you know , sis , he really don't like you for real , but I'll be delusional with you , you know we could . That's kind of a picture with you you know acting like you in the club just to send to him that's counterproductive yeah , but I mean , I'm gonna have my friend back .

Speaker 3

But I'm not saying I'm not a yes person . I'm not saying yes , you're right , and I'm telling you you're wrong . But I'm also . You know , we're gonna hang out , we're gonna see this .

Speaker 1

But you do see how she could see that if you go and do it with her and participate in the foolishness , that she becomes right because Nah , we just being toxic .

Speaker 3

They love them a little toxic who loves them a little toxic . You got to be a little toxic with them , because when you are oh yes , babe , love you know , you got to kind of argue with them .

Speaker 1

Toxic is not good , you know .

Speaker 3

you gotta kind of argue with them . Toxic is not good . Just a little bit .

Speaker 2

It's balanced , it's toxic good you gotta have a balance you just say yes , yes , like to some star .

Speaker 1

It's not like oh , who are you , and what did you do with my calls ?

Speaker 2

but we were talking about that a couple weeks ago like you can't have remember you asked the question . Remember you asked the question . I can't remember how it went . Like you know , do you want somebody that's too clingy ? We all said you gotta balance it .

Speaker 1

It gotta be a little bit of this A little bit of that you didn't get the right mixture . But that's different from toxic though .

Speaker 3

Everybody have a little toxic in them . You have to admit it . Even doing a little manipulation , like um , I thought you was gonna have my back , but clearly you don't .

Speaker 1

You know that's a little manipulation top just to kind of get them to kind of do what you need them to do in that moment yeah , I know that type of and you know , sometimes y'all y'all kind of get quiet , knowing that she wants an explanation , and y'all get quiet .

Speaker 3

That's a little soccer too .

Speaker 1

We've already had this discussion , Renita . We get quiet because y'all take 10 million years to get to the point of saying what it is y'all are mad about , instead of just saying I'm mad about this . That's why we get quiet .

Speaker 3

It depends . But what if we're addressing what we're mad about and then you just don't know how to handle that ?

Speaker 1

Because y'all go . We've already discussed this . Me and Renita went over this and I already told her my thoughts on that how y'all go all around the world just to get back to the point that y'all never get to Now .

Speaker 3

I'm going to tell you I'm mad and this is why I'm mad . So what you going to do about it ? What is the solution If a solution is given .

Speaker 1

Is that the end of the argument or is that the end of the discussion ?

Speaker 3

If I'm done , being mad because I'm a Gemini , so it takes me , you know , seven to ten business days to stop being mad . It's the same thing .

Speaker 1

It's the same thing and this is why I said we get quiet .

Speaker 1

Because there ain't nothing we can say . We can't win . That Ain't no winning in that , just Just make up for the madness , okay , alright , so we gonna give our hot take of the week and this is a story I read and we gonna Give our point of view on what we think about this . So a 27 year old , eric Brown Jr In Jackson , mississippi , was arrested over the weekend For hacking into the Hines County Human Service Department and approving all applications for food stamps . After approving the applications , he then had the cards mailed out to new applicants , all totaling $2,500 each . Current cardholders were also awarded $2,500 credit cards . His bond was set at $100,000 . He has since bonded out .

Speaker 1

How do y'all feel ? Do y'all feel like this guy was wrong ? There's a lot of people online that has just championed this dude , like saying , yeah , he didn't do nothing wrong . What did they lock him up for ? Like , hey , he's a hero . Yay , celebrating this dude . But how do y'all feel , renita , go ahead and give me a take . What you think ? How do you feel about what this man did ? Do you think he committed a crime that should be ?

Speaker 2

he should be sitting in jail for right now well , yeah , I'm gonna look at it from both points of view , um where you work , I'm gonna do the positive side first . Um , I feel like maybe he wanted to be like the hercules you know , know of his city .

Speaker 2

You know , because you know you got a lot of people . You know like hunger is like a thing . You know like in the late 90s , early 2000s you really didn't see a lot of homeless people around this area . You know what I mean . Like now you can't really drive nowhere to any of the major cities , whether it's Florence , conway , you know the beach where you're gonna see homeless people , you know , and then not even that you never really know what people have going on . It could be a family member . That's really like living , you know , paycheck to paycheck and really can't feed their kids , you know . Or elderly people that work like really hurts me that elderly people that they didn't work enough to get much back from social security . So how you expect these people to buy their medicine and buy food and keep their lights on and AC in this heat with like $500 a month ? The math ain't math then . That's true . So I can see . You know where he could have wanted to play the little Hercules role , but now he knew he wasn't getting away with that .

Speaker 1

I mean no , there was no way he was getting away with this at all .

Speaker 2

He shouldn't have gave him so much .

Speaker 1

you know , maybe I mean hey , he ain't complaining , I'm sure .

Speaker 2

No , but he probably would have got by a little longer if he would have stretched it out .

Speaker 1

Yeah , how do you feel , Mr May ? How ?

Speaker 3

do you feel ? Well , I feel like they need to free him so he can help me . First of , all .

Speaker 1

This guy is in Mississippi .

Speaker 3

Okay , like people don't be hacking from China . Yes , come on . What are we really doing here ? That's around the corner , down the street .

Speaker 1

He could just send some .

Speaker 3

But I really felt like he could have applied that better . I probably wouldn't have used my cousin Day Day and them computers To do it . I felt like he should have Not been bragging about it . Yeah , I did it , you know , because so many people want to , you know , move , but not move in silence , and it's a thing called moving in silence . Not a lot of people .

Speaker 3

He wanted to let them know hey , you know , thank me I wouldn't say anything Because they probably would have wrote it off as a glitch and would have thought China or you know , Russia did it .

Speaker 2

You know what I'm saying so .

Speaker 3

sometimes you got to do something and not worry about the admiration after I'm just saying , Like we just said , people do things for the clout .

Speaker 1

So hey , this is another example .

Speaker 3

But yeah , now he behind bars and setting up a go-for . I don't give a fuck , okay , well . Tell him come to South Carolina , don't forget , reactivate them courts .

Speaker 1

That's messed up . Well , I mean Wipe everybody's social security card .

Speaker 3

How about it ? Huh yeah , just wipe it clean , wipe people's social security . Yeah , so we have that good credit . Everybody's starting off . Everybody approved for everything .

Speaker 1

Oh , my God , oh , so everybody's starting off with a great credit score .

Speaker 3

Yes .

Speaker 2

What would you ?

Speaker 1

do . If your credit score was what you really wanted it to be , what would the first thing you bought ? Want to buy .

Speaker 3

Fuck it up again . I mean , you get it right to fuck it up again .

Speaker 1

What would you buy if you had a great credit score ?

Speaker 2

I'll probably buy like a couple properties .

Speaker 1

Okay , thank you .

Speaker 3

I mean that's still messing it up , because you're actually getting it Anytime .

Speaker 2

you run it like you said anytime you run it , it's over .

Speaker 3

A lot of times people don't care about the credit score once they in everything that they want . I mean , let's be honest , Once you done get everything you want , what you need to get you know what I'm saying . You got your cup of cards .

Speaker 2

You got your credit card , you got your ride .

Speaker 3

You got you some land . Half of it ain't yours anyway . Let's talk about it Well , that's true . Credit score is a delusion , it's an illusion . Let's be real . That's just for us to stay bonded and bonded in bondage . That's true . That's for them to have control , for them to try to put you in some type of category anyway so let's just be honest about it .

Speaker 1

So people , if you're listening , mr nate said don't worry about your credit , go fuck it up , because it ain't gonna matter .

Speaker 3

Anyway , I mean go fuck it up .

Speaker 1

I didn't say that .

Speaker 3

And think about it they got this thing now where ? What is it ? Where people selling other people's socials ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , that's on the dark web Right .

Speaker 3

But I'm saying that you get apartments and stuff . You , starting out with a good line of credit , trade all that stuff and it's a thing . So somebody else is going to be done messing it up , why not you ?

Speaker 2

Why you ?

Speaker 3

going to run around you in an apartment but then somebody got a damn mortgage in your name . That could be your mortgage . I'm just saying might as well . Right , just be responsible as long as you got what you want , like .

Speaker 3

I don't see how be responsible yeah , as long as you got , what you want is whatever that looks like to you . Everybody don't have a like . What you may want to do with your credit , I might not want to do with mine . Fair enough , some people you know what I mean you might want . You know all the houses and the land and stuff . I don't want to deal with people , I might just want me some . You know a couple of rvs that I can use and just utilize and rent out and you know I'm saying profit , profit off of stuff like that , so that's something positive , or I can just want to just go buy an island and just get the hell around .

Speaker 3

You know what I'm saying . Not worry about generating income , just be a loner . So everybody's stuff just looks different is all I'm saying that's very true .

Speaker 2

And on that note , you know , that's why .

Speaker 3

I don't knock nobody for what they do .

Speaker 1

I don't knock nobody for what they do , what they eat , don't make me shit . You definitely cannot do that . On that note , renita , thank you again for joining me this week . How do you feel doing ?
