Ever catch yourself rewriting someone’s behavior just to keep the story alive? In this episode of Talk Ya Sh!t, Big Slick breaks down why we ignore red flags in relationships and at work—and how chemistry, hope, and ego convince us to excuse behavior that should’ve ended the conversation early.

We unpack a raw listener letter that starts with passion and ends in chaos, separating intensity from danger. From emotional ultimatums to property damage and obsessive control, this conversation shows why patterns matter more than promises. If behavior keeps repeating, escalating, or coming without real accountability, it’s not a phase—it’s a preview.

Big Slick introduces a simple framework to spot the truth fast: frequency, intensity, and recovery. How often does it happen? How extreme does it get? And do they actually take responsibility and change? When those answers slide the wrong way, your nervous system isn’t being dramatic—it’s being accurate.

The same logic applies at work. A boss who ignores burnout, piles on seven-day weeks, and dismisses boundaries is telling you exactly who they are. We cover how to document behavior, set written limits, and decide when the paycheck isn’t worth the cost to your peace.

If you’re tired of chaos, mixed signals, and second-guessing yourself, this episode gives you clarity, language, and a plan you can use immediately—in love, work, and life.

But first, I want to give a shout out to all my listeners. Whether you at home, at work, in your car, or my truck drivers on the road, I appreciate you tuning in. You already know what it is. We got another letter in. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna give you my raw, uncut, unfiltered, honest opinion about it. Because that's what I do, man. Yo, let's get to this letter. Why we ignore red flags just because we like someone? Uh-oh. Let's get it popping. Why do we ignore red flags? Listen, man, if somebody shows you how they really are, you gotta pay attention to this shit, man. Because a lot of people out here is off the motherfucking rockers, and a lot of people don't pay attention to it, man. I'm telling you, when a motherfucker do some crazy shit, you need to take heed to it, man. People gotta pay attention when people show you how they really are, but a lot of people don't pay attention to these red flags, man, and then they be looking stupid in the face when these motherfuckers burn your house down or some crazy shit. Look, man, it's crazy the way our perception is. So a lot of people see people how they want them to be. I would hold on, let me let me bring that back. I want everybody to catch that. A lot of people see people the way they want them to be, but you don't actually see them for what they really are. You gotta start paying attention to how the fuck a person really is, man. Because a lot of people is crazy. You come in the crib and you're shorty in the crib talking about yo, where all the fucking purple oranges at nigga, run the man, and you over there, yo. My girl be bugging, she be playing around, man. No, this bitch is serious. She in the refrigerator looking for a purple orange, and you think this shit is normal behavior. What is wrong with you, bro? What are you doing, man? When people do crazy shit like this, girl cutting your tires. You that ain't normal. And you still with her? She done slashed all your tires, and you still you still rocking with her. You come home, she's sitting on the hood of your car, you got flat tires, the windows bust out. What and you think this cool? Oh, yo, my show to be tripping. She really loved me. Okay, keep on thinking that shit, man. Keep on thinking that shit, man. And a lot of women out there, when when a dude tells you some crazy shit and go, Oh, yeah, I can't, I can't live without you. I can't see you not being with me. You better run. Which he told you how he feel, you know. I'm saying now you tied up somewhere looking crazy in the face. He done told you, and then he's gonna tell you, I told you, and now what's going on here, man? Believe it when people tell you something, bro. You gotta pay attention to these red flags. I wish I had red flags at thought. You gotta pay attention to these red flags, man. Because a lot of people out here is off their meat rack, and nobody's paying attention to it. Listen, if you're shorty crazy, if your shorty family is crazy, you gotta look at all types of shit, bro. You don't know what's going on here, man. Pay attention to the person you with, and this is with everything, right? This is in relationships, this is shit at your your job. Pay attention to the red flags, man. If you got a goddamn crazy ass boss that's that just wanna overwork the shit out of you, ain't shit gonna change if you your first 30 days. This motherfucker got you working six, seven days, 12-hour shifts, all types of shit. What you think is gonna change? It's the motherfucker showing you what type of person he is. Listen, I'm gonna tell you that tell you this again, man. Take heed to when people show you who the fuck they are. If they fucking crazy bananas, they need to be on a short bus. Pay attention to that shit, man, and run before you run. This is what you need to do slap the shit out of their crazy ass, man. Listen, pay attention to the red flags. This has been another easy one.
