SPEAKER_06 0:07

Yo yo yo welcome back to the Feed Watchers. We back for another episode. This is um a good uh homecoming episode, cause uh we got Wilson's homecoming coming up. Um class of 02. So shout out to the class of 02 of y'all listening to this episode. This one's for y'all, dedicating this one to y'all. What's up, Renita? What's going on?

SPEAKER_02 0:31

Nothing much, nothing much.

SPEAKER_06 0:34

What you got going on uh this weekend? What you going into this weekend?

SPEAKER_02 0:38

I don't know. I don't know yet.

SPEAKER_06 0:40

Don't know yet.

SPEAKER_02 0:41

Probably just the same or relaxing. Nothing too major. Trying to, you know, get ready for the work week coming up.

SPEAKER_06 0:50

Don't remind me. Um, all right. Well, let's go ahead and get into the show. Um question of the day, we're gonna go with the vibe check question of the day. Um ladies, name something that a man does that he thinks is a turn on, but is actually a turn off. Renita, is that for you?

SPEAKER_01 1:16

I don't know, because like that kind of question, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:19

I have to rewind my mind because you know I've been with my person for so long, so it's like he don't should be something easy for you. No, because it's like he don't really do nothing that like turns me off. You know, I'm always turned on.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

But let me try to let me try to um rewind back like 18 years ago. Well damn. 18 years ago.

SPEAKER_06 1:44

Um okay, well, Mr. Perfect over there.

SPEAKER_02 1:48

No, no, it's just like, I mean, once you're comfortable, you're comfortable. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 1:52

Like some everybody in relationships got that one little thing that you just be like, damn it, I wish you would cut that shit out.

SPEAKER_02 2:00

But like turning on or like annoying? Now see you confusing me. You mean something that annoys me kind of on the low or like a turn off?

SPEAKER_06 2:07

I guess it would be an annoyance. You know, that would kind of be like a turn off something. Like you'll be in the mood for a minute, then he might do something or say something, and you just be like, you know what, never mind. Oh no. Nothing? I ain't got nothing. Dang. See, man, that's a little bit different for man. We can come up with something real quick, like, like, yeah, like it's it's little things that y'all do as women that we'll be right there with y'all. We we be in that mindset, but then y'all say that one little thing and that switch like real quick.

unknown 2:46

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 2:46

Oh, I'm telling you. You can ask most men that if they being honest, they will say yes. There's some things some women do that'll just be like, you know what, I I ain't even in it no more. I ain't even feeling this shit no more.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

Like, even if they've been with that person for a long time, I just mind wasn't on it though. No. Because if you really want something, what I know, if you want something, it overpowers like everything. Because you want it. So nothing is not gonna stop you until you get it.

SPEAKER_06 3:15

No, I mean we might still do it, but then again, we're gonna half-ass it. I will say that. You get you ain't gonna get the full, you gonna get just that bare minimum. Yeah, you're gonna get that lazy, and it's gonna be like, all right, I'm done, I'm wrong, I'm done. Get get away from me. It's gonna be like that if you done did something to piss me off beforehand. But um, I don't know. I g I I feel like there's something. You you probably can't think of it right now off the top of your head, but it's something that your dude do that you just be like, ah nah, this asshole. He done messed up the move. No? All right. Well, we're gonna put that one out there. Ladies and gentlemen out there on the audience, on the listener audience, y'all tell us what y'all partners be doing out there that just kills the move for y'all. It just when they do that, it's just that's an instant move killer. You done. You can't, you you won't even want to do nothing no more. All right, um, give us your first one of the what you saw this week, uh, Reneta.

SPEAKER_02 4:20

Okay. One of my first ones. If your gut ever tells you something's not right about someone or a situation, trust it.

SPEAKER_06 4:31

Yes. Always go with your gut. Um people call them red flags now, but I mean, it's still gut feeling. That's what we grew up with, a gut feeling. If something in your gut is telling you it's not right, something in your spirit is telling you it ain't something and ain't right, just go with it. People always try to talk themselves out of going with their first mind, and it always ends up working out working out bad for them. It ends up being the exact opposite, and they just yeah, they be in their feelings and stuff like that. You you believe in that, you believe in the streets. Yes, I strongly.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

Yeah, because it's like your gut, you you're not gonna just well, I can't speak for everybody. But for me, like I'm not gonna just have a crazy feeling. You know, like let's say it's a random person, I don't know, never in here, I'm not even gonna feel no way. Like, I'm not even gonna notice them. But if it's like somebody that I'm working with, a family member or a relationship or whatever, once I had it, if you feel and it's like you it was some kind of action to get me there.

SPEAKER_06 5:32

Yeah, yeah, exactly. So yeah, I definitely believe in going with gut feelings. Some people ignore them. Some people are really good at ignoring them and just being like, oh, that's nothing. It's it's it's not that serious. I'm just making too much of nothing. Nah, you're not. If you're thinking something about it and it's if especially if it's something that's a a constant thought, it keeps coming back to you. Yeah, it's probably something you should probably address or just kinda think about maybe, you know, going the other way or avoiding or whatever the case may be for whatever reason you having that feeling. But trust your gut, always trust your first instinct for sure. Um questions. I got another set of questions for you, uh Renata. You can only pick two. A new house, ten thousand five hundred dollars a month, a nine hundred credit score, a two hundred and sixty thousand dollary, retire now, or two hundred thousand dollars cash. You can only pay two.

SPEAKER_02 6:40

I'll take the ten thousand. And then uh also I'll take when you retire, you're not getting up and they just retire.

SPEAKER_06 6:57

Yeah, just retire right now.

SPEAKER_02 7:00

I'll take the new house.

SPEAKER_06 7:09

Yeah, I'm I'm why you you pick those two.

SPEAKER_02 7:12

I pick those two because okay, the ten thousand every month, because that's like that's every month. Right. So I mean, it's not gonna go, I mean, I don't make ten thousand, I don't anywhere near ten thousand a month, you know. So yeah, you can do a lot with ten thousand a month. I can speaking for myself. Um and then the new house, because it's like most people, well, I can't speak myself. Uh uh, you work for a house or a new house or a newer house or whatever the case may be. So it's like you got your house and 10,000 a month. You you're doing good, like you're doing awesome. Like like the the other ones, I didn't really choose them because okay, the retirement sounds good, but you don't get nothing with that.

SPEAKER_06 7:52

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 7:52

And then the 200k, I mean, yeah, 15, 20 years ago, 200k would be like a lot. Now 200k, yeah, it's still a lot to somebody like me. Yeah, but it's like it'll fade out too. Right. You know what I mean? Once you start making certain moves with it. But with the house, it's already paid for, it's yours, it's new. The 10K a month, I mean, yeah, that's that's winning. Yeah, and then what makes sense for me to choose the salary of 260, because if I'm getting 10k a month, that's still way over 100 with a pay for a house.

SPEAKER_06 8:21

True. Yeah. Okay. All right. I'm gonna agree with you on that one. I'm gonna have to go with you. I'm going with the house and 10k a month. Um, yeah, because that that I would look at I'm looking at that 260 salary, but that means I still gotta work. So, I mean, what depends on what type of work I'm doing to have to earn that 2K salary, that 260k salary. Like, that might not be easy work. That might be ass breaking work, like, you know, like uh I don't know about that salary. Um, the retired now, I mean, retirement sounds fun until you do it. I feel like a lot of people, everybody that I know retire, they might as well have still been working. They still move around like a working damn person. I don't know nobody that's really retired that still sits home and just chills and don't do absolutely nothing. Retired people still move around more shit more so than working people almost.

SPEAKER_02 9:22

A lot of retired people still work.

SPEAKER_06 9:23

Exactly. So I I mean the retirement, that's that's a just that's a joke now. Um the 200,000 cash right now, you I'll blow 200. If you give me $200,000 cash right now, I'll blow that right now. Like, I it wouldn't even take me no time to blow that. Like, so no, don't want that. The 900 credit score, a credit score is a joke now. So uh yeah. Let's keep that. So yeah, I'm gonna go with the new house in the 10k a month. Um that's that's the most sensible two out of those picks, um, to me personally. Um yeah, I'm just going with those two. That just that seems like a good pick. Um, y'all let us know. We posting that one on the Facebook page as well. Y'all let us know what y'all think. Which two y'all picking. Y'all, y'all, y'all going with that new house and that 10K as well, or y'all picking um something else out of this. I don't see how you can pick anything else out of this button if you chose to. Um yeah, let us know on the Facebook page. All right. Um, go ahead, Renita, give us your next one.

SPEAKER_02 10:27

Okay. This one was funny to me. They said when black people be on time, it means they not staying long.

SPEAKER_06 10:34

That's so true.

SPEAKER_02 10:36

Yeah, that's why it was funny to me, because that's definitely me. Like if I show up to something, an event, like on time, like at the starting time, or I'll probably be there a few minutes before.

SPEAKER_06 10:46

Right.

SPEAKER_02 10:47

You I'm lucky to be there 10 minutes. Damn.

SPEAKER_06 10:52

Even if it's a family event?

SPEAKER_02 10:53

Even if it's family event.

SPEAKER_06 10:56

10 minutes for family? Yeah. That's horrible.

SPEAKER_02 11:00

I say this all the time. I might need to get a t-shirt. Family, just all family don't mean it is good family. You know, like and I think so much, you know, you you were raised to make it like, oh, it's family, they get exception. No, like it's not. If it's not right, the vibes ain't right. Family, it don't matter. Now, when Kendrick said I cut my granny off, if she don't see how I see it, that's real though. You gotta be able to. I mean, just because it's family, that person shouldn't get a pass. And I felt like a lot of us, especially coming from the south, you're raised, though. If it's family, it's okay, or turn the other cheek, or it's not gonna change. No, I could love them from a distance. I don't wish bad on you. For sure. But mm-mm, no.

SPEAKER_06 11:39

Yeah, I get you on now. But damn, I said 10 minutes. I I can't. Even if it's the family that you brought with, you can't get more than 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 11:49

I can't.

SPEAKER_06 11:51

I grashed you with my presence.

SPEAKER_02 11:55

But not only that, it's like, you know, sometimes you could just be like, okay, it could be a day where you have a lot of stuff scheduled, but you still want to show up because you're not gonna be like, well, oh, I can't show up because you don't want to make it about you. So it's like, okay, I came through. You know, you want to bring a cup of dish, some drinks, or whatever. I did that. I said, hey, we good.

SPEAKER_06 12:14

You bring a dish, then that's all they care about. See, you got the family members that come up in there with plates to take a dish, but don't be coming there with no dish. Oh no. Like, see, that's that, you know, that's totally a different part of the family. That they they come in, hey cousin, what's going on? And they want to come in and grab something to go real quick. They dipping out real, real fast. But um, yeah, I mean, for me, getting to events on time sometimes, I'm for I'm like, I guess I'm so conditioned to getting to work on time. Like if somebody give me a time, event time and a start time for an event, I'm probably gonna be there a little bit early. That's just conditioned in me from like I said, from work. So I'll probably get there a little bit early. I might it depends on how the event's going. I'm not gonna say I'm just gonna cut out early because, you know, I've I made my appearance. If it's going good and I'm having a good time, I might stare. I'm gonna stick around for a while. But uh if it's not going too good and I'm like, I don't, I'm not rocking with none of these people here, yeah. I'm I'm probably gonna cut my cut up out of there early. But I mean, like I said, uh for me personally, I just time is like uh one of those things where I can show up to something late, but I feel bad about it. I definitely would feel bad about something if I show up a little bit late, like a little bit later then that's button after it started. Depending on what it is. Like if it's a wedding or something like that, then I feel bad. But like if it's like, you know, a party, just a regular party or something like that, I don't care about that. But yeah, I mean, you know. I mean, I'm with you too though, like, you know, sometimes you you you do feel like with the family events, yeah, you'll you'll show up to those intentionally late. Is is uh my cousin them gone yet? Oh, okay, nah, I can come like that type of thing. So yeah, I get it for sure. All right, um got another one says if we date, you can have my phone password, read my text, answer my phone, get in my Facebook, and read my messages. I have nothing to hide. You feel, you know, your secure your relationship is secure like that.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

I mean, for me, yeah. Like I can't, like, he he has all access to my phone. Like, I can leave my phone. I don't need to take my phone with me. Like, I can go to the store without my phone. Like, um, if I want to show him something, I can give him my phone. You know, my all my passwords is the same. So we've been together so long. He knows them anyway, you know. That is that is. And then I won't say it's the same level for me. Like it's him. But the thing is, because like I never tried it. You see what I'm saying? Like, I was always tired. If you go looking for something, you might find something. But like, if like we talking or he's showing me something, yeah, he'd give me his phone. You know, I can go into the um search um engine or whatever, go to music and play from it if we're like in the car connecting to the radio or whatever.

SPEAKER_06 15:23

So he's not fidgety about it. No, it's not like don't touch my phone. Yeah, okay, okay, that's cool. Now, do you feel like in relationships people should strive for that? No, I just feel like I mean, like for the openness, to be able to be open with your partner and be able to look at each other's phones and all of that stuff.

SPEAKER_02 15:40

I mean, I feel like if that's what you require, if that's where you're at, because you got some people that like take stuff so serious with the phone, it could not even be the phone, it could be like popping up at the job, you know? Like, you know, because a smart person, if they know that you're the kind of person that's gonna go looking for something, they're probably gonna clean it up. So you ain't gonna find nothing in no phone. So if you're really trying to like find catch your person, you have to know your person and where they slip at and whatever you're trying to know. But I do feel like you should be open, like you should, I feel like you should not hide anything from your person. Like, I feel like it should be no like gray areas, no secrets or nothing. Um, one of my models in my relationship always has been like, no one from the outside should be coming telling me about you. Right. You know what I mean? Like, of course, people are gonna do that. Granted, this is a society we live in. But like if it's something serious and you moving a certain way or you doing certain things or whatever the case may be, you should be able to tell me whatever that is. I lay down with you, I live with you. You see what I'm saying? So it's like I think it's better that way because it's like you can't tell me what I already know. Right. Like you think you get like you don't even entertain me. Yeah, and I I can't really too much speak for me because I'm a woman. But I think for us women, it's like when you you start seeing things, not so much hearing things, but you start getting little clips and stuff of stuff that you don't know nothing about. So it's like, oh, now you're playing in my face. Now you're getting this toxic, all this craziness. But if men, just be real. If just try it and see how it goes.

SPEAKER_06 17:15

And I think it's the same way for men. I don't think we really go looking um until we feel like there's something that's making us uncomfortable, making us uneasy. You wearing a different perfume than what you used to usually wearing.

SPEAKER_02 17:30

Um, that's not true. You dress in a different yeah, because we like to switch out the perfume. Well, you know what? I can relate because my mom, she always loves, she will only wear spell by. Like that was her only perfume. Like, she would not try nothing different, but that's who she was. Now, me personally, I'm a perfume person. Like that's one of my things. So I switch up all the time, but it's not like oh, I'm you know, it's just new sense, you know.

SPEAKER_06 17:55

But if it's a particular new scent that you just keep seeming to like to wear, men are pretty observant. So if it's like, I know I know your scent, I know what you normally wear for me because I told you I might have bought it for you, and I know you know that I like you wearing that. So if you decide to up and decide it's been a couple weeks and you're starting to wear this new scent, more a different scent from what I know is your scent more regularly. And it's like when I'm going to work, I gotta make sure I have on this scent. The only time I'm smelling this scent is on you is when you're going to work, or I'm supposed to be going out with my friends, and I'm going, I'm going over to Keisha House real quick, but you got on this particular scent. That type of, you know, things make you kind of look at it a little bit differently. You start dressing differently or something like that. That's a big one, is you know, the dress changes up, you know. You used to walking around in, you know, baggy sweats and you know, t-shirts and stuff like that, and now all of a sudden you all about going to Victoria's Secret every other day. Like, that's a key indicator, and you ain't wearing that. And I don't ever see you wearing none of that around the house. That's an even bigger key indicator. Like, wait, what the fuck? Like, you you done been to Victoria's Secret three times this week. I ain't seen no damn lingerie, not once. What the hell?

SPEAKER_01 19:20

But she could have been going for perfume. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 19:26

We know damn what seriously.

SPEAKER_02 19:29

I go sometimes, not for perfume, but for like the body sprays. Because you know, wait a minute, you know, if you're into synthetic, you have like a routine. So you have your perfume, then you also have your body um sprays. That's what I'm saying. So you know, sometimes they have body sprays.

SPEAKER_06 19:41

That's when size matters. How big of a bag is a perfume gonna come in? Right. Well, yeah, how big of a bag is lingerie and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_02 19:50

She could have been getting a house coat. They sell house coat, they wear it. Dogging pants, you know, on the pink side of Vicky's um secrets.

SPEAKER_06 19:58

If you're not seeing any of this stuff, you seeing these bags come in the house, but you ain't seeing none of these things.

SPEAKER_02 20:03

Maybe she's saving it.

SPEAKER_06 20:04

Or she's keeping these things in her car, and you just happen to be in her car looking for something, and you seeing all the stuff that ain't made it in the house.

SPEAKER_02 20:12

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 20:13

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

But if you're crazy about her shopping, she could be hiding it from you. I used to do that in the beginning. But not victorious secrets, just anything. Like, you know, mine would be like, you always, you know, you're spending money, you shopping. I'm like, oh man, so I would go shopping and I would like, you know, I might go spend like a couple hundred dollars, you know, just on stuff that because you never really need stuff, you know, like clothes or whatever. And then I would try to like wait, you know, until like, okay, he's not there. I can bring the bags in and put the stuff on.

SPEAKER_04 20:44

Every woman does that, like I feel like every woman does it.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

Listen, I would always get caught because it didn't always be called. You know, you forget about it. You know, two, three days get go by, you forget about it, and then you're like, oh, can you check this in the car? And for some reason it goes in the car, like what? What are you doing? And then it's like it turns into it's like, man, why are you hiding it?

SPEAKER_06 21:04

Exactly. Why do you feel the need to hide that? What you trying to hide?

SPEAKER_02 21:08

What else you hiding that's when they be wanting to go through that phone in the beginning phases of my relationship, yes, I was ladies, I was guilty of that. But now I'm like, I'll be like, you know what, man, I'm gonna go get some stuff. Like, yeah, I'm just telling you right up what I'm gonna go do. So it ain't no stick, and I'm coming in with the bags. And if you add around, I might pick up your little shirt or something.

SPEAKER_06 21:28

They're trying to figure out why you got all these bags hitting out in the car.

SPEAKER_02 21:32

I ain't that wealthy. I'm not wealthy, you know.

SPEAKER_05 21:36

Two to three bags. You talking about my one little bag bag then. Don't be trying to make it out like I got a whole no like two to three.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

No more than two to three bags now.

SPEAKER_06 21:46

I got you. I got you. But yeah, I mean, that's tough. I mean, yeah, I feel I I don't know. I asked the question that said that do you feel like people should strive? I'm gonna say yes. People, you should strive to have that open of a relationship with your partner to where y'all can have, you know, not that you should want to go through phones. I'm like you on that. I agree. Don't go, don't want to go through each other's phones, but y'all should have that relationship where y'all could and it not be a problem. It not be no he trying to snatch his phone from you, you trying to snatch your phone from him, none of that. Y'all should be able to go through that really. Y'all should be able to go through each other's emails, y'all should be able to pop each up pop on each other at work, like you said, anything in any any part of the aspect of life that's just a normal routine of part of your daily routine, your partner should be able to be included in that without you having to know prior to them doing it. And it'd be okay. If you just decide to go to lunch and you at work and your partner just knows what time you go to lunch, it should be okay for your partner to pop up on you at lunch and be like pop up on me even when it's not lunch.

SPEAKER_02 22:57

Sometimes bring me something I like, bring me something to drink. Like I don't like, just be open.

SPEAKER_06 23:02

That should be perfectly fine. That should be the relationships we all strive for. That is not the relationships we all have, but hey, that's what you should strive for, I feel like. So all right, Renata, give us your next one.

SPEAKER_02 23:15

Okay, my next one. So I heard this on the radio radio, and then I also was like scrolling and I saw it. Um, so apparently there's supposed to be a versus battle. No limit versus cash money.

SPEAKER_04 23:29

We getting into that.

SPEAKER_02 23:31

Who y'all got? Who y'all going for?

SPEAKER_06 23:34

Oh man, we getting into it. All right, well, I'm gonna just go ahead and say this, y'all. No limit is in trouble. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. No limit is in serious trouble. I I don't feel like No Limit has any artists right now that are gonna be able to withstand holding up to the empire that is cash money. I'm sorry. They they just strong right now. Musically, they all the artists are a lot of their artists are still around. I mean, it's gonna be hard. Who you got, Renee?

SPEAKER_00 24:18

Cash money.

SPEAKER_06 24:18

Cash money taking over for the 9-9 and the 2000. Yes. If they play that one right there alone, it's over. It's it's a wrap off of that one alone. Like, there you go. Yeah. Come on. Yeah, the big Thomas. Come on, man.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

Come on. But see, you know the thing, and that's why you can play like all their artists that they had and still have this currying. Like, it's a hit.

SPEAKER_06 24:53

They have every time every one was a hit just about that.

SPEAKER_02 24:56

And this is no diss to no limit. I mean, I mean, all you really know is make them stay on.

SPEAKER_06 25:01

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 25:04

The shock had one back in the day, but I can't even remember how it goes.

SPEAKER_06 25:08

He had the one with Destiny's Child. I mean, but we all know he didn't bring a destiny's child out there on that stage with them to help them out with that one.

SPEAKER_02 25:16

I really think it's a suicide mission. Really? Like we should have put them with maybe like an East Coast, you know.

SPEAKER_06 25:27

When that one comes on right there, when you was in the club when that one was high. When that one used to come on in the anywhere that came on. Football game, that song was everywhere. It's still everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 25:48

Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 25:48

Man, the high school bands still rock out of that. Them kids don't know nothing about that.

SPEAKER_02 25:53

Slow motion.

SPEAKER_06 25:54

Oh my god, you Juvie the Great. Come on, man. That what no limit.

SPEAKER_02 26:00

I mean drop it like it's wobble, wobble, how do you little ways it? I can't even.

SPEAKER_06 26:05

Wobble, wobble it and drop it like it's hot. They created. This is the best they gonna come with, too. This is the best they gonna come with. They're gonna have to do this song like five times just to get the crowd in there.

SPEAKER_02 26:19

They better start off with that one if they know what's good for them.

SPEAKER_06 26:22

No, because they gonna start off with this one and end with this one. That's all they got. Like, come on, man. And then, like, like if Mystical was out of jail, you know, we know Mystical got himself into a little bit of trouble. He likes to do stuff. He ain't got no business. But if they threw this one right here, bro, oh my god. They might actually have a chance. Mystical had not no chance.

SPEAKER_02 26:49

They'll get a little for the crowd.

SPEAKER_06 26:52

They would have had a little bit of chance if Mystical, because Mystical had some joints. Mystical had a couple joints out there.

SPEAKER_02 26:58

What is that with Danger?

SPEAKER_06 27:00

Yeah, that one. Yep, danger. Yep, that one right there. Yeah. So yeah, Mystical would have saved him a little bit in this, but yeah, Mystical ain't there. And I mean, even if I'm trying to think, the no number roster, like except the Shocker had a couple few.

SPEAKER_02 27:16

I can't remember. It was the one, not the one with this chunk. He had another one back in the day.

SPEAKER_06 27:20

Ain't my fault, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:21

No, he had another one though. I think he had Trina or somebody. Oh, yeah, he did have the one with Trina back in the side. I can't even remember the name of the song, but it was a good song.

SPEAKER_06 27:29

Yeah, that was a pretty decent one.

SPEAKER_02 27:33

That's it. I can't even think of a hit.

SPEAKER_06 27:35

See, murder had like I can't listening to these songs now is making me just think how much of a just setup for failure this was.

SPEAKER_02 27:44

It's a suicide mission.

SPEAKER_06 27:46

Suicide mission. Like, cash money can literally go hit after hit. And I'm that's not even talking about like the cat. That's cash money. We ain't even getting into young money and like if he bring out Drake and Nikki and all of them. Yeah, but see, he's in jail too. See Murder can't. That's a C Murder song. And he's in jail as well. Like most of the artists locked up. No limit ain't got nobody.

SPEAKER_00 28:14

They can play it no more.

SPEAKER_06 28:15

They locked up a dead. Like, I guess. I mean, but still. No. But like I said, cash money, they they got a deep roster if you're talking before the young money part. Then you bring in the young money part. Like I said, the Drake's the Nickies, all them people. It's a rap. They have no chance in the hell of it. Suicide. Suicide. It's a straight suicide mission. Um, I I don't even know who set this up, but somebody set these guys up for failure. I feel bad for y'all. I'm with you. I'm going straight for cash money on this one. There's no chance cash money is losing this versus battle. Um what's the last? Have you done you watch Versus?

SPEAKER_02 29:00

Some, yeah, I did. I watched.

SPEAKER_06 29:01

What's the last one you watched?

SPEAKER_02 29:02

Obviously, back in the day. Like when it was a thing during COVID. I haven't watched anything recently.

SPEAKER_06 29:06

Yeah, I'm watching it recently. Okay. I'm I'm trying to think what was the last one they even had. That was the last one? Jesus. Which one? Oh, Shaka Khan. Was that the one Patty was bell? Oh, okay. I didn't see that one either. Oh man. No, but the verses have they fell off for a while. It was do you feel like those verses, the ones you watched, like that you remember, do you feel like they evenly matched?

SPEAKER_02 29:44

Some of them. A lot of them I did. A lot of them they did. They evenly matched. And it was funny, you know, it was entertaining.

SPEAKER_06 29:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 29:50

You know, and it barked back, you know, kind of like battling without all the craziness.

SPEAKER_06 29:55

Right, right, right. But uh some of them. I feel like they they they setting some people up for failure with some of these. Like because some of these uh they don't even make sense. Some of these people that they putting up against each other don't even match up as far as like hits-wise. It's like you don't this person don't have nowhere near the amount of hits this person got. Why are they even putting these two in a battle together? Like, it just don't make sense to me. But um, hey, I'm I'm I'm interested to watch it. I'm already, I got my popcorn ready. I'm ready to sit down and watch this cash money no limit one. And um, I'm gonna watch uh cash money just whoop that ass, because uh ain't no way in hell no limit coming close to a chance with this one. So um, yeah, we're gonna put it out there for y'all. Let us tell y'all tell us what y'all think. Who y'all think are gonna win this versus battle? Cash money or no limit? Who y'all got? Who y'all riding with? Let us know on the Feed Watchers Facebook page. All right, let's get back into this show. All right. People be mad as fuck when you naturally have things they have to suck dick for. How do you feel about that statement, Renate?

SPEAKER_02 31:06

I mean, it's funny, but it's true. You know, it's like people be mad at you for you know things you have, but I was always taught you never know what someone went through to get their things. So it's like they they could have been doing what you was doing.

SPEAKER_06 31:20

They were sucking.

SPEAKER_02 31:21

Maybe a little better, you know, or they could have just been blessed, you know. You just don't know. But it's like, don't be mad at someone for what they have. Like, if you that mad, get out there and grind, grind, grind.

SPEAKER_06 31:34

That's where I was going with it. Don't be mad at nobody because they was sucking dick. You ain't had to be out there sucking dick. McDonald's is hiring every day. Uh there's a bunch of places hiring every single day. Go get a job. You ain't gotta be out here doing something strange for some change just to get ahead of life. You would rather do that because it's the easy way, I guess, in a sense. But I mean, is it easy? No. In a way, it's easy for the person who chooses to do that route. I mean, I if that's your thing. But I mean, it's it would be simpler to go get a job. I mean, just go get you a job. It's not that hard. People iron out here. Economy is going through some things right now. There's jobs out there. Go find a job. It's not that hard. And mad because somebody naturally has something. You had to go do whatever to get. You can't be mad. Like you said, you can't be mad at what somebody else got. I'm looking at your car and I'm sitting there like, damn, she got a nice car. I wish I had that car. No. Just go get me a nice car, too. If I want a nice car, same way you worked and got your car. I don't know how you got your car. I don't know that somebody didn't give you your car. I don't, I don't know how you got your car. So for me to sit there and be saying, well, I'm getting me a car just like that. I'm gonna figure out a way, you figure it out your way. But that don't you have a nice car and you'll look at that person and be like, hey, nice car. That's that's no. Got your car, nice car. You ain't sitting there thinking, oh, dang, that person just went and got a nice car because I got a nice car. I mean, in certain circumstances, you will think that now, because you know hating ass people like that, they just be like, every time I do something, this person got to do something. But that's something totally different. But like I said, you you shouldn't be hounding behind somebody else and sitting there looking at them like, oh, they got this, so I want to get that. And definitely, like you said, you that you started this thing out, you don't know what a person had to get go through to get what they got. Just because you assume you're doing ungodly things to get what you got, don't think that that person might not have had to do the same thing. They just not publicly saying it. They just not putting it out there that they did that. But like I said, it's just don't go hound and mind people and what they got and trying to figure out a way to get in their lifestyle because you feel like that should be your lifestyle. Just don't don't go lifestyle chasing. That ain't that ain't a big thing. That's not a good thing, I don't feel like. Um what you got next for us, Renita?

SPEAKER_02 34:12

Okay. Next, if you can obey, comply, and submit to your employer, why wouldn't you comply, submit and obey to your own business?

SPEAKER_06 34:28

That is a good one. Um for people out there who you know you know uh basically like the two different mentalities a worker and uh um uh I guess like uh entrepreneur spirit. Um so some people are just born where they have that mentality, just I'm gonna work for somebody. It's simpler to work for somebody and just get a job, get a check. And some people are born with that hustler mentality. That's what I was thinking. That hustler mentality where I'ma just go out there and make a way. I don't need nobody to give me nothing. I'm gonna make a way for myself. Um I feel like, you know, the people who are born with that hustler mentality, hey, they they struggle a lot, but they make it a feel like a lot further in life, and they're a lot happier in life than people who are born with that worker mentality. I'm just gonna work for somebody for the rest of my life and I'm gonna get my retirement, and I'm gonna just sit back and retire when I'm 60 some odd, 70 some odd years old, and I'll just be happy then. The people who are sitting there grinding it out and hustling every day and working towards what they want to get and eventually get to their goals, they seem to be a lot more happy on the way, along the way, because they're doing what they want to do versus what somebody's telling them to do. Um, how do you feel? What you think about that?

SPEAKER_02 35:51

Yeah, I feel that, you know, and really in today's world, I feel like if you're not well off wealthy, you need to do a little both, you know, if you unless your business, because a lot of people, their business putting them in um positions to where that's enough, that's more than enough. They're blessed with more than enough. But you know, I feel like, hey, tap into other things, you know, that you like to do, like, and put the same effort into that as you do showing up and going to work. Because being from the South, a lot of us are taught, you know, work, work, clock in, punch that clock, swipe that clock, you know, show up, show up, show up. We're not really taught how to actually, you know, start a business.

SPEAKER_06 36:32

Start a business.

SPEAKER_02 36:33

But now, and you know, with the world changing and stuff, a lot of people are going into that. And shout out to them, they're doing actually well with it, you know. So it's like tap into other things and put the same effort in it. And I was always raised what you put in is what you'll get back.

SPEAKER_06 36:49

Oh, yeah, exactly. Yeah, so yeah, you have to have that um mentality of, like you said, the world is changing now. When we were growing up, we saw our parents go to work. We saw our parents go out and grind and hustle every day for somebody, for a job, for a check for somebody else. We didn't necessarily grow up. Some people grew up in households with families where, you know, they they own businesses and things of that nature. But, you know, more common was people work, it was working, everyday c working class people. So, you know, now things have evolved and more people have learned okay, it's more beneficial for me to start a business, grow my business, learn how to run a business and be a business person rather than go and have somebody tell me every day what to do. Because we all have learned, everybody that's been in the workforce has learned working for somebody is not always the easiest thing to do. I mean, it's it's oh my god, it takes discipline. It takes a high level of discipline to go in there and answer to somebody every single day. That is just not something that you can do easily. But um if you if you don't have that discipline, you're gonna have to figure out something. You're gonna have to get out there and get that hustle about you real quick. Because if you can't take that that uh military level of discipline, like you know, you you gotta have like that almost sometimes with some of these jobs. But yeah, it's you gotta have that discipline. And if you don't, and you know that's just not who you are as a person, hey, find you a skill, find you a hustle, find you something that's gonna make you some money, and do that because that's what you need to be focused on, not sitting up under nobody job, because you will just job hop all around trying to find that right one, and you'll never find it because it's just not in you. It's in your heart somewhere else. So, yeah, definitely, you know, grind grind it out, stick to your goals, hustle. If you're in a job and you've been there for a long time, stay there. Retire on out. Like, you know, don't just jump off and unless you've got a business idea that is really unique, creative, and something that you feel like is gonna be beneficial and actually get you somewhere, don't just jump off that cliff and say, all right, I'm quitting my job, I'm gonna go out here and just start this. No, don't don't kill your lifeline, especially when you've been on a job 20, 30 years. Like, don't kill your lifeline like that. I don't suggest that at all. But um, yeah, like I said, is you gotta understand what type of mentality you have for sure. Um, all right, let's go into this last question. Says, um, I don't care who disagrees, children at 11 or 12 do not need makeup piercings or lashes. How do you feel about that, Renata?

SPEAKER_02 39:42

As for me and my household, no. Hell no. But again, different strokes, different folks. I mean, I I know um girls that, you know, they have um children, daughters that participate in pageants and stuff. So if they feel like that's an enhancement, then hey, right, to eat your own. Right. But for me, no, and definitely not no piercings. My daughter's 17, she doesn't wear makeup. Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 40:13

Because you don't allow her to make it.

SPEAKER_02 40:14

No, not because I don't allow. Like, I try to teach that, like I said, I was raised, you know, I remember when I was in like middle school, so around that age, 12, 13, girls were wearing makeup. And you know, you go to school, whatever. So I came home, you know, I asked my mom, like, well, you know, girls don't wear makeup, you know, can I put on makeup? And my mom told me she was like, well, you know, you're not old enough now, but you know, in a year or so you will be. And I'm gonna tell you like this, if you start using that, you're gonna you're gonna depend on it. Right. And you're gonna feel like you need it or you don't look right if you don't have it. And then it's gonna start to eat out your skin, you know, like and and just be happy with what you got. There's nothing wrong with you. So I personally wasn't a makeup person. Um, I throw on some lipstick, lipstick every now and then, but all that, I don't do it. And then the people that do do it, hey, that's fine. If that's what floats their boat and then they like it, they like, hey, who am I? No.

SPEAKER_06 41:10

So no piercing said well, ears.

SPEAKER_02 41:13

Oh, yeah, ears, but like now, you know, now kids are like piercing their noses, their lips, their eyebrows.

SPEAKER_06 41:19

Yeah, you know, cheeks.

SPEAKER_02 41:21

Uh yeah, I mean, I see it at um at the elementary. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 41:25

So you do. That's why I that's what this this question kind of hits because it's the stuff we see at work. So it's like, ugh. Um yeah, I agree completely. Kids that young don't need to be in makeup for sure. Piercings, uh ears, okay, that's all cool. Um, the nose rings and all that stuff at 11 or 12, nah, I feel like that's too young. Uh, the lashes, I don't I don't know about the lashes. Like you, you and mom. I the lashes, is that like too young for lashes? I don't.

SPEAKER_02 42:01

For me, yes. But again, I see people, you know, I have family members, they allow it. So I guess, you know, it's okay for them. For me, no, you know.

SPEAKER_06 42:12

I'm trying to think what what age did my daughter start doing lashes. I would have to say, oh, my girls was probably at least 17 before they started doing lashes. So I don't know. That uh yeah, 12 does seem kind of young for lashes. But for sure, definitely with the makeup and the piercing, yeah, 11 or 12, that's that's a little bit young for that. Um first of all, we have some very sick twisted people in this world and parents, mothers especially, you would think would stay, you know, on their daughters. Like you said, what your mom said, you know. First of all, just about personal personally, how that's gonna make you affect you mentally as a child that young. If you start wearing makeup, it's gonna be something that you feel like you need. Now you need that every time you go out, now you feel like you gotta have that on. And you don't wanna put that in a child's head. You don't want them to make them feel like that's okay to need and have that crutch or whatever growing up, and then they grow up as an adult and still feel the need to have that. I I agree with your what your mom said. Yeah, that was not a right time for you that to do that and start wearing that. And like you said, you started wearing it at an age where it was more appropriate for you, and you kind of made the decision on your own to say, hey, I'm I don't really need this. I'm wear it if I want, but I ain't gotta have it on. Whereas if you were started younger, you might have just been like, well, I'm gonna wear it all the time because I need I feel like I need it now. So yeah, I I definitely, yeah, that's too, that's too young of an age where kids are still developing and you don't want to put bad practices, I feel like bad practices on them, of um just making themselves look way too old before they are old enough to be uh yeah, like I said, there's some sick people in this world, so yeah, you gotta think about what comes along with that too. So um do you feel like you know we have a lot of parents now that are okay with their children growing up too fast?

SPEAKER_02 44:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 44:22

See that too. Absolutely. Like I I I I'm starting to like really feel like that's becoming a little bit too common now. Like parents are just fine with especially with the way the kids dress too. Like that that just to me is outrageous the um the way these kids dress nowadays, but parents seem to be perfectly fine with it. And I know damn well my parents wouldn't have been nowhere near okay with, you know, the way some of these kids dress. And me as a parent having children, I wouldn't be okay with my child dressed the way that these kids dress nowadays. But these parents nowadays seem to be perfectly fine with it. So I I don't get it, but you know, hey, who am I? Um, all right, Renita, we get we we missed something. We we need one last thing before we get out of here today. Uh it's time for what?

SPEAKER_02 45:19

Story, story, story time.

SPEAKER_06 45:21

That is right. Let's get to it.

SPEAKER_02 45:28

Okay, so this week's story, and I'm gonna read it just like it's, you know, right.

SPEAKER_03 45:35

All right.

SPEAKER_02 45:37

Woo child. This one straight out of horror movie. A Raleigh man reportedly sprayed his own blood into the eyes of two hospital workers, exposing them to HIV during a visit at UNC Health Recks. Police say 25-year-old Cameron Gilcrest was being treated for diabetes when he allegedly sprayed blood at staff, hitting both in the face. Both workers suffered irritation and were potentially exposed to HIV. Gilcrest wasn't arrested until six months later because he was still getting psychiatry psychiatriatic treatment. He's now behind bars on a 25K bond and due back in court December the 8th.

SPEAKER_06 46:29

Okay. Well, with my history as far as jobs, I used to work at a hospital, so that's common. That's not uh I know some people heard that story and was just like, oh my God, that that is just disgusting. That is disturbing. That is so commonplace at the hospital. Um I'm sorry, if you work in the hospital setting, you you you just have to be careful. You have to watch your surroundings, especially with the patients. Um, I've had a 90-some odd-year-old man spit on me, and he was very much HIV positive. So, yeah, it happens. Uh that that I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you, really. It's just kind of what you sign up for when you work in a hospital. Unfortunately, these people, like I said, when I know the process they had to go through, I my heart goes out to them completely because I know they that's a long, long process they put you through. The hospital itself, as far as like you, when you get that potential contamination or something like that, trust believe it's a it's a process I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, but you have to go through it. And um you just have to be careful. If you're gonna be a hospital worker, my heart definitely always goes out to anybody who works in the healthcare system because they deal with some stuff like people can't imagine until you know, unless you're a relative or you know, you know somebody personally, have a friend or even a spouse or somebody that works at the hospital and you hear them stories. I trust me, I'm gonna be here the one to tell you, yes, that stuff they telling you is not made up. It ain't stuff they just embellishing in on and all the stuff they just coming out pulling it out out of nowhere. This stuff actually really happens. And this story right here is a key example. Like this stuff happens. You just gotta you just gotta be careful. Like I said, you just when you're working in the hospital setting or in a healthcare field setting, you have to be careful because you just never know with certain situations. Um, how'd you feel when you heard that story, Renita?

SPEAKER_02 48:41

That was like, I mean, you hear stories, but it's like I couldn't imagine that because it's like uh-uh. And even if it and and like I know a lot of people are like maybe focusing on the HIV, I wouldn't care if it was regular blood, like not non-HIV.

SPEAKER_06 48:56

Like, I don't want somebody's blood on me.

SPEAKER_02 49:00

And especially in my eyes, like, come on. That yeah, it's a difference, like, okay, you may because I mean let's be greening, you maybe spill blood or whatever on your lab coat or your um scrubs or whatever, but like on my face, like in my eyes, like like I said, when you deal with certain types of people, especially in the hospital setting, some of these these C these people be out of their mind.

SPEAKER_06 49:26

I have and I probably shouldn't be saying, well, I don't work for the hospital no more, so I can say it now. But um, you know, I've seen people do all kinds of stuff, you know. I've seen people rip out catheters and stuff like that. I've seen, you know, all kinds of just insane stuff that you just would not be able to imagine. Like, and you like I said, you just have to really be careful and protect yourself because you just never know. You have no idea what's coming at you at any given time, any given day. Anytime you come in the hospital, no, you might get thrown up on, you might get blood on you, you might get uh feces thrown on you. You're definitely gonna get some piss thrown on you at some point in time if you work in a hospital. I mean, that's just that if you work anywhere near mental patients, all of those things are coming at you at some point in time. It's just part of the game, it's part of the job. Um, yeah, that that's just that's just how that goes. Um, I don't think that that the punishment for that the sad part about this is the reality of it is if that they deem that guy to be mentally unstable, there won't be any punishment for that. Like, he won't get any jail time, he won't have to pay any fines, restitution, nothing. Like, that's the actual, honest to God, sad truth about it. He won't get it, nothing will be done to this person for doing that. I promise you, if they can deem him in the least bit unstable, not mentally altered or anything at the time when he did that, he'll it'll he'll walk away and just go back home and like nothing happened. That's the truly sad part about all of that. Is you know mentally stable, mentally unstable people can pretty much but pretty much get away with murder. And so, I mean, yeah, that how do you feel if that guy was to walk away because they deemed him like, you know, unstable for doing that?

SPEAKER_02 51:24

I mean, if he's deemed unstable, mental, I mean, that's a different, I think that should be a different way of looking at it. But then nowadays, mental has so much different levels. So was his act a, you know, could it be based from his level of mental mentalness if he's diagnosed with that? If not, they need to let him rot.

SPEAKER_06 51:49

It's not gonna happen. I feel like, like I said, a good lawyer is gonna get this man out of this and be like, uh, he didn't know what he was doing. He he had no idea he was about to spray blood all over this person. It's not that serious. Y'all making too much of a big deal about it. Okay, y'all got a little bit of blood on you, but did you die? Like that type of mentality. That's and these crazy ass lawyers, they're sick ass lawyers that will literally go in a courtroom and defend that and just be like, it's okay. It was just a little bit of blood. Y'all, y'all are okay, y'all are fine. But it's like the principle of it is you sprayed blood on me and you HIV positive. You knew what you that in any other state, that's a crime. I don't care what nobody says. That's a crime. You knowingly tried to infect me with AIDS. Like, that's a crime. So, but you'll have a lawyer that'll stand up and say, Well, because he wasn't in his mental rights, he didn't know what he was doing.

SPEAKER_02 52:43

And I have a nurse come in and stick them or cut them and then take this blood and throw it on his eye. And let's see how you feel about it. Okay, he said it's no big deal.

SPEAKER_06 52:57

This is why. Don't fuck Renita. I keep telling y'all like that. Do not fuck Renita. Renica go get her get back. Every time.

SPEAKER_02 53:07

I don't even think it's a me thing. It's just what it is.

SPEAKER_06 53:11

She goes get her get back. She said, All right, y'all let this man if off if y'all want to. Okay, all right, bet. I'm gonna get my get back. I love it though. All right, but um man, this is we had a we had a good time this week. Um, give us your shout-outs.

SPEAKER_02 53:30

All right, shout-out, shout out. First off, I want to shout out Digital Base Media Group. I also want to shout out all everybody that's out there grinding. If you're out there tapping into, since we were speaking about that today, early in the show a little bit, everyone that's out there grinding, you know, into their own business on the side, full-time, part-time, whatever.
