Kiss Me Thru The Phone #27

Episode 27 of Let’s Rap About It gets real and unfiltered as the crew dives into some heavy and thought-provoking topics. They break down the ongoing conversation around police brutality and its impact on communities, giving honest perspectives and personal takes. The energy shifts as they tap into relationship talk, debating the fine line between flirting and just being friendly—especially from a woman’s point of view—and whether men always read it the wrong way. Things get even more interesting when they ask the question everybody’s secretly thought about: do DMs ever really close, or is someone always lurking in the background? To top it off, they react to one of the wildest innovations out of China—a long-distance kissing device—and give their unfiltered opinions on whether it’s genius or just plain weird. Tap in for laughs, real talk, and conversations you don’t want to miss.

And we are back, ladies and gentlemen, of another episode of Let's Rap About It. Brought to you by Playmaker, presented to you by PrizePix, America's number one sports picks app. What's up, my guy? Hey, listen. Let's toast about it. Let's toast about it. Talk about it, Dave. What we toasting for? More everything, man. We've been rolling. I like the whole movement right now. So we're gonna toast to that. We're gonna toast. Toast up, toast up, toast up. Let's rap about it. Everything. I like that, man. More everything, though, right? More everything. More more abundance, man. Putting things in the universe, right? And just, you know, just feeling good about what you're doing and feeling blessed and actually being, you know, real in tune with with your future. Right. Being intentional. Yeah, I like that, man. How you feeling this week, David? With me? I feel absolutely wonderful, bro. He was on fire last week. I feel like you up to something, though. It's just something that's it's just given that you you why have you been? I'm up to something. I don't know what it is. Dog. 100 million percent. That could never be questioned. I'm on fire, man. He was on fire, right? It's both of y'all then. Spears, would you agree he was on fire last week? Maine is always on fire, though. I don't know. How the week that Maine wasn't on fire. I don't know what that means. It's like I don't I don't know what's happening. What does that mean? We'll leave it there. We'll we'll elaborate. Every now and then you have a better game than than than other. He's on fire. Right? You definitely have some good games. I think we all have to be a good idea. This is a team effort, though. You definitely look like MVP for the season. You know what I'm talking about? We all, we all, no, listen, man. This is a team effort. It's no I know. Um let's get into it though, man. Is it ever a good or reasonable reason to put a man on child support? I've never been to court and put my children a day of my motherfucking life. Me neither. Ever. I don't play that child support shit. But that's not to say that somebody I mean you I don't know if you can control what somebody else does, like a woman. I think if a f if a ch if if a father is not taking care of their child, then I believe the woman should definitely do what she needs to do to get some support and assistance for uh for her child. But I think that they have some women out there that just double down. Like, even if the father is doing for their kids, some of these women are bitter and they still put these uh men on child support. Like, it's just crazy. I seen situations where child support was so low that it was just like, damn my nigga. You really gonna only pay a buck fifty a month? Some niggas be like, yo, you you went through all of that, now take your buck fifty. That's what like sometimes it gets like spiteful, but I I think like Jim said too, like, if if it comes to that point where, you know, I think everybody should take care of their child. Like you brought the child into the world, so um, I know a lot of things happen in between, you know, relationships because it's is but your child is uh a different side of that. So like, especially financially, you have an obligation to take care of your children. Absolutely. What you think, Mr. David? I I agree with it. I feel like if if if you're not taking care of it, I understand why why a woman would would go that route. But if the father taking care of the child, I don't think that should you should get involved with that. Because once it gets into the courts, the court don't give a fuck about either side, I feel. You know what I mean? If you had to pay a buck fifty, would you just only do the buck fifty? Nah, nah. And I think a lot of these ladies, uh, whoever. They go beyond it ain't about the it ain't about the the parent, it's it's the it's the kids. Like you can't, I couldn't sleep right now, and I only gave$150 to my kids for the for a whole month. I'm telling you, I was sleeping with this dude's wife, and she would she would complain to me about she's like, yo, you know, this nigga only gotta pay$150. What?$150. But that's also part of her going through that. 100%, spitefully. Yeah, sometimes it gets tricky like that. They be like, all right, I'm trying to get more and go in, and it don't really play out like that. And then you get called up. So then the dad be like, all right, I got the buck 50 for you. I got that for you. But that really hurts who the whole the overall. But you still should on your side do what you do. Maybe now you spend when you know me when you got your kid in the room. That's what she's getting in the that's the check that's gonna be. That's what you get, yeah. That's what she gets that goes directly with you. You should still be doing what you're doing. But your kids should still be going on, like something that she can't cash in or get cashed in her hand for. You should be bringing them items to your kid. But I think that what parents don't recognize, or the a lot of females don't recognize, is the trauma that's caused by going through this whole court situation. Because it's not like it's just you and the parent, is the kid involved with that whole situation. So they're going through everything with you inside of that family court. And that is a fucked up situation for the kid, also. So it's like I don't think that if if they could hold off as long as you can without taking these guys to court, man, I think so. Cause it's you gotta think about the kids in the middle of the situation, also. Nah, I I agree with that though. If it's just straight up no attachment, no real bond with the father, and the father just not doing nothing, and it's like, I mean, I hate, cause I ain't I'm not never one to like suggest somebody taking somebody to court about something like that. Right. But I don't even know what to tell you in a situation like that. Like what did you tell the late the man's wife? What did you tell him when she said that yo, he only gave me advice you gave what advice you gave him? That nigga like, damn, that's crazy. So what did you say, it's nothing? It was nothing I could say. This is a court ruling, right? Buck fifty? Did you know the buck fifty? The love guru said what you want me to do. I'm sorry. Did you add to the buck fifty, or you just said that's crazy? I mean, listen, I'm here for support. But not child support. I'm here for support, but not child support. For more support, though. Like she was venting, and I don't think it was about the money because she does well. I guess I guess that has something to do with it because the the woman does well in life. Right. I guess it's like, oh, this nigga gotta do is pay this. He don't even barely do that. Like it was it was that. I said, damn, yeah. You definitely feel like you caught a W though. If you go through that whole process and a judge just say, from what I see, we just gonna give him a buck fifty. Well, like if she was at the end of the day, you know what like three bands a month. And the judge. The baby mother thinks she's doing something swept or wrong. And he get the buck fifty out the deal. Oh, you know he's talking wild shit to her. That's a bitch. See what happened? Fucking the ranch, see how that shit went. I paid my shit for the whole year. You trying to get more, more 1200. Take all that. Get out of here, don't talk the whole year. Fuck you talking about it. Yeah, I yeah, I've never been in that situation. I ain't never won. It's heavy, though. I take care of my kids, man. Can you tell the difference between a woman flirting and being friendly, man? What? Uh that's what it says. Can you tell the difference between uh woman flirting and being friendly, Maino? I I don't feel like that question was directed towards me. I'm gonna ask Mr. David. How do you feel about that? I don't feel like that was directed towards me. Damn, Mr. Main. What's going on, Mr. D? I think flirting, you gotta be friendly flirting. I think it's I think it's a friendly flirt. I think it comes with the type of thing. I think it's together. You know what I'm saying? But I think it's also a uh uh um you gotta read the room. Is there innocent flirt? I think you gotta read the room. But is there such a thing as a woman just being friendly without flirting? Like if she speaks to you. I think women have to watch that because men usually don't know the difference. Yeah. I've had situations where I had situations where like uh a woman might do something for your friends, and not a friend think, yo, she likes me or she on me because but she might be doing it out of like you might do off the stroke. And you know what I mean? Like say she cooking. If I'm cooking, you know, I make everybody a plate. Right. Your man might be eating that plate, like, yo, she on me. She made my plate first. I'm telling you, that's how niggas. He getting that off a plate of food, this is on nine thousand, like not shit. When you gotta watch that. She just gave me a plate, she definitely knows. She gotta know the difference between that, though. That's crazy. Nah, niggas don't say he's really insane. Niggas have went for less, man. I'm telling you. It could even be the way the way a female like talk to the homie or talk, like, you know what I mean? Is I think like like with Space, it's a fine line. No, take that, take your homie joint out of it. Right. You in a jewelry store, or you in a store, you shopping, you in uh, you know what I mean, Garden State Plaza somewhere, and a woman walked by and spoke to you. Right. Now that she spoke to you, how you doing? I don't take that as flirting. Do you think that she on your dick? I think she might I think she might be interested. Because why you spoke to me? Right. I do I think it's an interesting. I think it might be an interesting. Everybody in here, why you spoke to me? Right. I think it's interesting. You speaking to me is crazy. You like me. Right. I do. And it's up to you to do it. It's up to you to push the to push it, though. Maybe that's some Brooklyn shit. No, no, no. I felt like that at the time of my life. I mean, I felt I definitely felt like that at the time of my life. Because women don't, especially here in New York, they not friendly. All right, so so y'all feel like that, whether they're bad or a monster? What? What? Don't don't do that. If there's if it's a complex, if women come up to you and say hi to me, do you do you feel like she coming on to you? You feel the same way? She just feels like she'll be like, her success level is just low, but she's still flirting. Her success level is Yeah, uh the success ratio is very low. To me, but she still shooting her shot. She's still hired so, babe, when you in the strip club and the girl called past you, it says I know. It says how to you, babe. Do you feel like she's all you? You you think she likes you too? All the joints in there? You think they like it all? I told you my strip club stories, and I told you, yes. I used to believe things like that, but it was all a part of the game. You thought they liked you? It was all a facade. It was all of a yes, baby. How you feeling? It was all applauded. It was all applauded. It made you feel good. Like, you're like, because check this out. My ratio, if my ratio is high, like if I'm like eight out of out of ten in that arena, so I'm thinking it works for me. Like, they on me, right? Everybody, everybody on me. Everybody like me. I will say this for 2026, I do feel women shoot their shot way more now than back in the days or something like that. Women are definitely way more aggressive. A woman knows what she wants, she shoots, she shoots. Just like how I do shoot now. That's I I have to agree with that. That's true. I gotta agree with that. This is what I'm saying. So I'm just saying, in because you know, it's a difference now because everybody's in DMs, everybody can hide behind the DMs. A woman might hit you in a DM. If you're in a store, you standing at the, you, you, you, you, you shopping, and a woman says, Hey, how you doing? or good morning, or you know, oh, that's nice. Who you buying that for? And I turn around and say, I ain't buying it for you. But depending on how she looks, determines your answer. That's what I see. That's what I see. Are you easy if like a woman flirts with you? Do you go? Are you going? I'm not easy, brother. Not that easy. You not an easy flirt? Not that easy. Not that easy. I don't go that easy. Huh? What's that? I said you're a. Ask him if he was easy, but we could we could keep it. I mean, I was preferring. That was crazy. I double down. I doubled down on it too. I'm a pause. I'm a pause in him. We haven't a conversation about a girl talking about it. Let's not talk to me. That's not a pause. It is a pause. He just said it was a pause. He looked right at you and said, main, are you easy? That's crazy. I didn't end it with easy. I said, Are you easy when a woman flirts with you? But I got y'all. We now saw.

SPEAKER_00 13:26

When y'all he put a comma there. It was a comma. I'm saying I'm not easy. It's not easy to get women. To get me home. That's pause. This is crazy because I don't know what you mean by this right now.

Like do you think they're gonna do it? You think they feel like niggas do because niggas be hurt when a bitch curves? Yeah, that's why I asked that. When you get curved, yeah, that crunch is crazy. I had to tell a girl ain't on today. She hit she she DMing me, it's like, yo, or won't you let me come see you? And I was just like, for what? I never met this girl in my life. She said, How far is Atlantic City from New York? I said, I don't know, about two hours. She said, Won't you meet me? Fuck I'm meeting you for. I had to literally, just because I answered back the DM, I was being courteous, didn't mean that I wanted to talk to you. What makes you think that I wanted to do that with you? Because you responded. I think girls take it better than dudes, though. I think girls, uh, like if you curve them, they be like, all right, baby, it's okay. You know, you know how you tell, you know, I'm I'm in a relationship, baby. I got a girl. You she'd be like, all right. But like dudes, you remember back in the days, like a dude, you fuck out of here, bitch. Fuck you then. Like, you know what I mean? Like niggas would really get upset when. Remember when positive K came up? Well, what your man got to do with me? I got a man. I'm not trying to hear that. You remember that? What your man got to do with me? That was niggas used to be volleying chicks, walk down like she don't stop when you trying to shoot your shot. Be sweet, and then that's what you're doing. Fuck you, does that still have it? That shit goes. Of course it does. Yeah, for sure. Like Linux have. Why you say Linux? Maybe, maybe, maybe best style. No, no, no, no. You know why? Then I'm gonna tell you why. No, I say, don't do don't make it rivalry. They rock, maybe, but why is it on Linux? The reason why I said I said this is this. I'm not gonna lie. Harlem, and I'm you wanna don't talk about it. Harlem is really lit. Listen, Harlem is really lit. I was on a bike the other day, I went to go see Black. Moped. That's the last time you're gonna disrespect the Kawasaki Care Law 650. Listen, I can't go Harlem to see Black. Every block was flooded. Every block. Every block was flooded. I was gonna say that. Harlem dude. Harlem is lit. So what I'm saying is that it's guys out on the street. Women are walking down the block all the time. Yo, what up, Shorty? Are dudes still doing that? Oh man, fuck you then. Is that still happening? Yeah, there's a lot of ignorant dudes out there. There's more probability in hunting. I feel like in the hood for sure. In the hood, like niggas feelings be heard everything. Stupid bitch. You ain't gonna look all that good anyway, dumbass. It's switch immediately. Fast. You heard? Switch immediately. Nigga go ho in a second on it. Look her mindful. Fuck out of here then. But is that really rejection though? That's is it, or she, or she just didn't want to speak. Nah, maybe 74 other niggas didn't holler at her already on her walk out her building to where she's trying to go. So by the time you say how you doing. And you biscuit head ass nigga, you ain't making it no better, nigga. But honestly, I'm not them other 73 niggas. So like I can't equate what happened with everything else. You got me fucked up, put me in that 74 box. Right, but from her perspective, you don't know, like, I mean, we living in a city where it's a lot of weird shit happens. You know, it's a safety thing. I don't care if it's 192 niggas. If you got the sauce, the bitch is gonna stop to you and give you and give you some some some play. You heard? Unless she's late to where she's trying to go, or you might still get curved with the source. So you think she'll stop? Yeah, why not? Why wouldn't she? So which one of you niggas think she's gonna stop for you? Depends on the on the the day, the chick, all that. It's like it depends. It depends on the day. Yeah. Girls used to walk up the, you used to call a girl from your car. That don't happen to me. That don't work no more. The cark up to the colour. Yeah, I got the carking lot. I hate that that fell off. That usually pull up and chase a chick down a block with your car, pull up next to her, talk. Nigga, put that shit in the car. She comes over to the car, might get in. That shit is done. Why though? Why is that over? I don't know. Girls stop coming to the car. Everybody thinks they're rich right now. Nobody outside? Instagram got niggas feeling themselves. It ain't even. You could be in some shit too. They really won't come to the car. Don't matter. Man, they dropped all them documentaries with all these crazy niggas out here in this world. Ain't nobody walking up to no car no more. That's a fact. Motherfucker disappear, walking up to a car. I think that's over with. But what I'm saying is they not even, they don't even seem impressed no more. Man, let me ask you this. If a lady slides in your DM, is it ever too late to respond? Is there a time period where it's like, damn, this shit was from 2024? I don't know. No, I respond, I recently showed them that I responded to a DM from two years prior. Somebody DM me. I didn't I didn't want to. No, I just I just was like, oh wow. I ain't I just noticed that you but you respond, but did she respond back after that? Yeah, she was like, yeah, man, late. And it was just that was it. That was it? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she like, I'm over you, nigga. Yeah, basically, yeah. You missed the train. You missed the window. So this kind of a window Nah, it depends on if her situation changed. Yeah, sometimes it's if she got a man now, yeah, then the window's over. But if she if she was like still loosely single, then yeah, maybe. It could have been different. It could have been I got you. What you think, Squizz? Nah, I think it's I think the DM streets is they always open, man. The DM streets is always open, man. You know what I mean? Spin back through there. The U turns, two way street, up the wrong way. Sometimes they'll spin back on you. They was just uh I was going through something. I was in a relationship, spin back. That's how I go. DM streets is always open. The streets will always welcome you back. You know what I mean? Where you been? We've been waiting on you. Y'all not answering DMs. I know y'all not. That's not the answer. The DMs are closed over here. Those streets are boarding those streets. You know, in the highway be like road work ahead. I don't even have DMs. DM Street say road work ahead. You heard? Shit like that. Detour. Detour, like that. Railroad crossing, like all that type of shit. I don't like this though. Yo. What are some things you do to see if a woman is with you for you and not the money? Oh, because this is what they say Acon bought fake jewelry. And bags and all that. For his women to see if they really was with him. For him or for the money. So how would you how do you know? You won't know. How can you know? Do you test people? I mean, there'd be, I believe there'll be things that happen along the way that can show you how yeah she's solid. That ain't let you get peep overnight. It's hard to trust anybody. You gotta know a person you consider to be your partner and then and then saying they with you, so so but do you lay certain certain hurdles and tests for women or people? Do you do that? I don't think you deliberately do that. That's kind of creepy to be deliberately trying to see if a person is gonna go left on you and setting up traps deliberately. I don't know that kind of like I mean like you must have gone through a lot of shit if you have to worry about doing that. But I think that if you move a silent with a person, there'll be things that happen along that journey that's gonna let you know that that person is silent with you. What you think, Spez? Didn't Akon buy French a fake watch? That nigga just buying everybody fake shit. That's why I was like, he probably just like the He had the fake Dior on too, right?

SPEAKER_01 23:57

That nigga hope I think a fake Dior shirt on or something one time.

SPEAKER_00 24:04

It's a legal. Get on this jack. I know that nigga could give me nothing though. Anything that you give me, I'm going straight to the fucking poppy. With a gift for you right now on the show like Maine, I got a gift for you and shit like that. It's a nice little So we gotta assume that it's fake. But what do you are you accepting it? I'm good, man, I'm cool, I'm good. Or you accepting it right now. Come up with a nice it's a gesture, right? It's just like I you know what? Thank you, bro. Nah, man. Thank you. I ain't taking a plate of food for me, come on, nigga. What is this right here? Who made this shit, man? Nigga might give you the fruits that your grandma stab on the middle of the table. Come on, nigga. He don't give a fuck about none of this shit. He from Africa, nigga. He came up and is fuck it. So what about you, Mr. David? Are you are you? No, I don't think nobody I don't think you purposely, like Copper was saying, I don't think you deliberately gonna set out tests. I think over time, certain situations gonna show you how, you know what I mean? Alright, if they put in that situation, they gonna fall. If they put in this situation, they study. I think just years of dealing with a person show you that. You know, the thing is you don't know how people really gonna be until you until they are like a crisis. I think life tests you though, and if they if they if they rocking with you like that, life is you know what I mean? You're gonna see certain shit happen. Right, but that'll let you know. Here's the thing. So it's like if you don't end up in situations with people to test either loyalty, strength, um, courage, or any one of those things, you'll never know. You don't know. Right. You don't know. So a person will tell you, oh, I love you, I love you, my brother, or whatever, whatever the relationship is, but that that's never tested, how do you know? You don't know. Everybody say I'm a real nigga. That's the thing, I'm a real nigga. But how many people actually been tested to the point where they had to prove that that slogan? You gotta do some real shit, right? Or even brotherhood. Same thing with brotherhood. Everybody say your brother too time to do some brother shit. So I I don't know if I ever actually like made like a test, but I thought about that shit, I ain't gonna lie. Not for women, just in general, for the like relationships, for people coming in your life saying that they could do this and you know, professing to be that. I I I thought I thought about shit like, you know, like, man, this nigga always talking tough, but I'm gonna have some niggas come down here act like they robbing me and see how you act. See how you move. Yeah. Thought about it, but I never did nothing like that. Let's wrap about some hopes real quick. Brought to you by the homies at Prize Picks. New York versus Atlanta. How we feeling about it, players? You know how we feel about it. New York all day, forever. We're going biddy, biddy, biddy. Yeah, I ain't gonna I ain't gonna change up. Stay within the show. Shout out to Brunson and the guys. I'm going more and more and more. I ain't even gotta talk about it. Josh Hart, I'm gonna I'm going more on him too. At this point, you already know what we're doing. I'm definitely going more for Josh on points. Um definitely on rebounds. Yeah, I mean, anybody gotta up it. They gotta play that. It's playoffs. Niggas gotta up it. Yeah, this is this is this is where you see the players play their best. Right. Brunson, how we feel about Brunson, same thing. Yeah. A thousand percent. I think Brunson turns up playoff time. I think he knows he's the who the offense flows through. And he always ready for the challenge, I feel like. You know what I'm saying? A lot of players don't always, you know, they that's how they judge players too. Like when it really counts how you play. Some people play through the regular season and have good seasons, but now this is like win or go home situation. So I always trust JB because he's been putting on since he got to the Knicks, and even before, if you really follow his career. I agree. I agree. Jalen Johnson. Jalen Johnson. Where you at with that? I don't know much about Jalen Johnson. Um I know CJ is over there. Uh Jalen Johnson, he might sometimes players that you don't have a lot of um knowledge on, they get to sleep. Yeah. They sleep on their game a little bit and they can. But everybody, you gotta look at it too. Everybody in the NBA got some game or they wouldn't be there. They wouldn't even be there. You know what I'm saying? So with Jalen Johnson, would you go more or less with him? I would go less. I don't I don't I don't know his game that that well, but I know the Knicks have a good defense. And I think the offense maybe flowed through another player, so I'm gonna go less. CJ McCollum. He's gonna get busy. Yeah, I think he that he that player that the offense, you know what I mean, that he was referring to. I think he's gonna I go more for boy. Yeah, I can't, I can't front. Even though I want him to do less, I think he might end up doing more in these situations. What do you think, Span? I'm going less. CJ my god too, but I gotta ride with the city, man. We're gonna lock C we gon lock CJ down. So we going next. We're going next more forever. More, more, more. More, more, more. Nix tape. Gentleman privileges. Something every woman should receive, or are they reserved for someone you truly care about? I think being a gentleman is is um is instilled in people. I think certain people don't always have that because it wasn't really instilled in them. If you're like parents or your moms or instill that in you, you'll you'll be a gentleman for I guess for a female. I don't know what being a gentleman is in other likes, but you know, being a gentleman for a woman, I think that's instilled in you. Like, you know what I'm saying? I don't think everybody has that. So I think if you got manners, if you were taught manners, I think being a gentleman comes with that coming up. I mean, like you just come with a big thing. Man is different than gentlemen. Yeah, but what I'm trying to tell you, if you have great manners, then a bit of that turns into being a gentleman. You think it's naturally when you see a woman, you're gonna do a natural thing that just manners. Just having good manners, uh open the door for someone, whether it was a woman or a man, like yo, hold the door for somebody. Like, you understand what I'm trying to say? You think you always have manners? Like younger gym? Yeah. Well, I was taught manners. I was taught more about it. No, I said the younger gym athletes. You had manners. I actually what you was taught. Did you have manners? Did you have manners? Nigga, so I ain't actually what you was taught. Yeah, no, no, um, yeah, the manners, the manners uh miss me a lot of times, but I knew I I knew what they were. So you wasn't a gentleman? No, but when it comes to women, I definitely always try to be a complete gentleman. Not so much with all of them, but for the most part, in general, I'm a complete gentleman to women. I try to open the doors for them, I try to be get up, let them have my seat, like shit like that, like simple shit like that. You gotta be a gentleman too. She make you be a gangster or something. Like if when a girl tries you, then you, you know what I mean? Like I've seen Jim be a gentleman, and then when somebody uh somebody trying me, but I think that's really how I I was taught manners, but I wasn't taught no how to be a gentleman though. I don't think I learned how to be a gentleman until I was a grown man. But with the manners, you wasn't nice to women. I think it's a slight difference. I think at the at the You had great, you had manners, like I'm trying to figure out what the man, what you mean by manners, because you have manners, then that you have to be nice to everyone. That's what manners is. That's manners, that's the basement, that's the foundation. But being a gentleman is a step, it's a step higher, right? It's like, oh, let me get your door. Let me hold your door, let me get your hands. That's also manners, also, brother. It can be man. Can I can I can I tell you? Can I get my testimony? Can I get my testimony? What I'm saying is I believe that there's a slight difference in the foundation of manners and being a gentleman. Okay? Of course, we grew up with manners, say thank you, uh, you know, please, or whatever. Just the basics. But being a gentleman, I think, is it's it's a couple of different steps, right? Being thoughtful, being um, being intentional, right? Um, listening more, making sure you she's walking, you walking on the right side. Yeah, a little chivalry, a little talk. Is it the same thing? Chivalry? Yeah, like what? Cold chivalry? What chivalry is crazy? What? What are y'all talking about? You niggas don't have you walking on the crazy crazy. I know what you were saying. It sounded like you said chivery. He definitely said chivery. That was definitely what he said. What did you say? I don't know what you said. Chivery. What? Chivalry. Chivalry. He didn't say chivalry. It sounded like chivery. It sounded like chivery. Maybe you can't hear my L, but whatever. You know what I'm trying to say, right? I know it's being a gentleman and chivalry is the same thing. It's related, bro. Right? I think you could be a gentleman. Just because you're a gentleman, don't mean you're gonna open the door for every chick or you're gonna be this way with every every female. But just because you I don't think that work like that. You gotta really like that person. But a gentleman doesn't mean necessarily pause. It doesn't necessarily mean that's for a woman directly. A gentleman is just a gentleman in general. Wherever you are, you just give it a chance. A gentleman about everything. Yes. This is what I mean. Gentleman on every level. Yes. Right. Gentleman business. We conduct in on every level of understanding. So is it is it manners, then being a gentleman, and then chivalry when it comes to the woman? I like that, Jimothy. Gymnasium. I like how that, I like it. It's manners at the bottom floor. Then being a gentleman is a little bit more than just having manners. Manners is the base. Like cool, shivering. Gentlemen, and then chivalry is like whenever women's around, I make sure that they're taking care of the whole way. If I take it, my lady. Are you, are you, are you that? That you at the top floor. Um you three. I'm there. I'm three. I'm not the greatest at three. Like, I don't pull a chair out a lot of times when we at the restaurant and shit like that. But you did, there you are. You you got a lot of that chivalry in here. I'm sure. Yeah, in the comments, who do y'all think is the most likely to be a gentleman? Word. That's a good who do y'all think is that. Who do y'all think? See, it's all right, I'm gonna leave it alone. But I've I can tell you this. I've done a lot of amazing things when it came to my relationship. Like I put beaches in my house, I done uh sunk sunk treasures and like I done did a lot of dope shit in my relationship. So it's like I like that. You know what I mean? Like I'm very creative. The same way I'm creative here, like you see, I it's the same way, like I've done a lot of that creative fly shit in my relationship. What about you, Mr. David? What you want? Like, are you number two or are you three? You had a top floor? Yeah. We know you got manners, but are you a gentleman? I would say I'm a gentleman, but not with everybody. Like, not with you say you I feel like you saying if you're a gentleman, that's just how you are with every every every person. Being a gentleman. Every person you encounter. I don't think. Nah, I don't think. Are you a total gentleman? You don't it's different. You could be a gentleman and a total gentleman. Are you just a you did? Because I think if you if you deserve that, if you deserve me to be that way, then I yeah. You ever been a gentleman and it wasn't a problem? I don't like that out there. Or like like how you say you hold you ever hold the door for somebody and they don't say thank you, and you that's a hate it. That's I don't like that. That's why I'm saying that's why I'm saying you can't be that at all times. But that shouldn't stop you from being a gentleman. Yeah, that shouldn't stop you from it. That's a part of being a gentleman. You did? You know what? Because you so fly, that shit could never bother you. So the third time that week, somebody ain't say thank you for you holding the door. She must have had a little door in the street before a nigga walked by me on his phone. I was hype. Like he ain't even like acknowledged. I was really holding the door for him. But I was like, You know, niggas hold the door for me. You look at me, who I am, nigga. I would say be a gentleman about everything, man. Regardless. About everything. Because even when it comes to dealing with niggas, like, we gonna be a gentleman about it with everything. Yeah, gentlemen, I believe you should be a gentleman about everything. And I believe you should show chivalry to the person that you love or like the most and shit like that. You know what I mean? Like when it comes into a relationship. So if you just meet somebody, are you still are you are you? Yeah, that's that's being a gentleman when you meet somebody. You do the gentleman things that gentlemen do when you first meet somebody. Okay. You know what I mean? Right. And going above and beyond is showing complete chivalry in that relationship and shit like that. You know what I mean? I don't think the public see y'all as a as gentlemen gentlemen, though. Say what? I don't think the public can see y'all as gentlemen. I know y'all, so I know y'all deeper, but I'm talking about I don't think the public looks at you. Yeah, the exterior might look crazy, but I mean, I've been in my relationship for a long time. So I mean, I think they should look at the time that I've been in my relationship. What happened? What this nigga going through?

SPEAKER_01 37:46

Fab, fab, fab, fab, fab.

SPEAKER_00 37:49

I don't give, I don't even. You ain't hear spirit say that. That's what Fab decided to say to y'all tonight. He knows y'all a little deeper. I like East shit, because East like a take like a a So, you know? A smidget of the. But I didn't say nothing. May was over there crying little bit. I'm looking at you. He takes your sentence and cut off what you said and just but I think it's all about contents, and that's why I think it should stop. It's all about content. It's not gonna stop. It's not gonna stop. It's not gonna stop. It shouldn't, because niggas gotta just watch what they saying. Why? Why not? Why do I gotta watch what I'm saying? So just you gonna have mad pages. I know what I'm not doing. I know next time I got him on the 30 ball. He's I'm never letting me. Oh shit, the nigga went back to the 30 ball. Yeah, yeah. He gotta pause twice and then like five minutes.

SPEAKER_01 39:14

And then 30 seconds come back.

SPEAKER_00 39:17

Fab, don't play that's that shit, bro. I don't really care though. I'm gonna be honest with you, because it I was saying, listen, my son is pausing me in the house. Right. Like, I'm like, if you don't think this should tell you something, why? Why should it tell me? Every way you turn somebody's paws on you, do you not think that from that there's a problem that you need to address? I refuse to live in that world, bro. Yes, I know a lot of people live in that world. All right, so mate, when he just said what he said and you start smiling. Right because I'm looking at you. I didn't say nothing. It was in your face, bro. That's pause. It was in your pause. Pause. Pause. What was in the face? Yes, now we gotta do it. It was in your face?

I keep putting, you know what I'm saying. I don't. You talking to David. You talking to David and said it was in your face. You know what I mean, right, Mr. David? Yo, yo, yo. Do y'all think technology can extend the length of long-distance relationships? You know what I'm saying? I just don't want to see nobody with this on their phone because trying to figure out how to have lips on it attached to your phone. I don't like the way that looks. You could tongue kiss your girlfriend while she's on FaceTime. It's her tongue. I don't understand. What do you mean? I don't understand. Break it. Somebody make me understand. What is it? These are lips that you put on your phone. So when you're on FaceTime, your girlfriend from a long time. Is it connected to? To your girlfriend on FaceTime. It's really, you could, it's really her lip. It's no, it's these lips. Come on. She's kissing it at the same time.

Oh, this nigga. You know the car drive itself, too. When you put that shit in the drive itself, more like your top. Oh, top of y'all. This is he can't wait for this. This is crazy.

So, okay, so the question is this do you think that's gonna keep your relationship lasting longer? If you could do this, if you live somewhere else in your your your significant other. Only if you can eat her out the same way she can give you now you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can go 69 and it's lit. You know, you gonna do what? The virtual 69 and it's lit. 69 on the phone, got it. This one of them shits where niggas say take your phone, take his, take his phone, nigga's phone, take a phone, nigga's phone. Shut his fucking mic. You hear what he said? Yeah. Nigga might not come outside, you can get some head on the phone. Like, nigga, you might not see a nigga for three days. Like, yo, where you been at? Nigga gonna be low. Yo, I've been having some crazy phone conversations. That's all of us say. We can't go that route. We can't go that route. But leave that alone. Sell me up, China. That's that's that's that's what I'm saying. China sell me up, Shannon. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. All those out is in the market in China. Yo, splash with my man splash. I don't like the way flips that whole device that goes over the phone. Nah, that's crazy. It's heady mop on the phone, bro. It's convenient. What? It's a pocket for you. Yeah, I don't like none of that, bro. I don't like none of that. I don't like none of that. You two out here. It's too much motion for all that. Yeah, it's way too much. So what happened if you on the point with your phone? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He got another scenario. He said he's on the flight now. All you gotta do is put the cover over your hand on the flight. They report you like post the FaceTime on the phone, on the plane, Jimmy. Like you're not supposed to be on the phone. You go on the FaceTime. He's gonna make sure he got the way to get on the phone. Yeah. Hold on, baby. Let me get a chunk. Hold on, man. Then you gotta go manual. You gotta go manual. You gotta go manual. That's fucked up. You gotta reboot. This dude is crazy. Let's get out of here, man. That's crazy. Too many scenarios. Let's get out of here. You you you you know what? Let's get out of here. Let's get crazy. Let's leave it off the plane. Let's get off the plane. Is it fair to blame a company for someone not knowing knowing their own limits? Oh, so this is the one when the lady or the bitch got too drunk on the Yeah, because y'all know if y'all give me all that liquor, what's gonna happen? Why y'all gave me all that liquor? All inclusive, like y'all can't be doing that. Definitely can't. Give me my money. Lawsuit. No, it wasn't even considerate to ask me if I had a problem with drinking when you gave me this all-inclusive package. It was like, yo, imagine an alcoholic on an all-inclusive. And I didn't even realize it was crazy. But they don't know. I went to the drink. It's coming to be coming back to the big thing. And it was free. Shots, shots. Say that again. I went to the bar to get one drink and it was free. Right. So you kept going. But that's my fault. So if you so if you get so drunk, right? So you get so drunk. Yeah, upstairs. Like your everything free downstairs. It's a lit. You really be that yeah, bro. I don't know. You know, to be honest, like you're supposed to know with you your own limits. But at the same time, like if that happened on their premises, then you know what I mean? What was that cruise Cancun niggas used to go on? The Boo's cruise or some shit like that? You ever been on that shit where they're giving out everybody free liquor on the old cruise? You don't remember that shit, Fab? I believe you was there that that year when all the labels was out there in Cancun. Don't attach me to no lawsuits, Jim. I was like, I was not there. But I do honestly think, though, it's a it's a 50-50. I think places, once they see somebody done off, you gotta cut them off. You ever seen like a show? They be at the bar and they be like, oh, that's it. It's over, yeah. Nah, give me one more, I gotta take one. Nah, you're done. I think they have to do that after a certain point. I don't think they do that with no vacation. They want the money more than anything. Niggas be on them cruises about to fall off the side of the boat, and they still giving them, it's all inclusive. You gotta cut them off. Like, you know what I'm saying? They got a little band clip, that shit or something like that. She fell on the cruise. She fell off. She fell on the office on the cruise so we're the stairs on the boat. On the boat. Hit her head, split her head open. Something like that. But it's the responsibility of the person, too. You keep drinking and you get fucked up. That's part of it. Whatever happened. I was joking at first. She hurt herself so much that she woke up so you can sue on these motherfuckers. Somebody got to get sued about this injury. Fuck you talking about. It was hurt. I don't. I've seen people sue people for wild shit. But she might do that. She might be crazy shit. She might win, bro. That's the crazy shit. She might win. Sometimes they just feel like the the cruise ship should be more responsible and like Fab said, should know when they see people are at their limit. You saw I was drunk and you gave me another shot. Give her 92 million. They knew better than that. What if she bought a bottle and was off to her little section and was just taking shots how she was doing? What if she ain't go back and forth 14? Honestly, I don't. That's why what you're saying, I don't think it's completely on you. People are grown. You have an age limit to drink. I mean, an age where once you pass a certain age, you can drink. When you're 21, you could drink, and it's really on the responsibility. But I do think establishments, when you see somebody smith, all the way blasted, just cut them off. Like, yeah, you two, you know what I mean? You can't get no more. That's probably. But I don't know if that's really, really, really gonna really be happening though, because the whole thing is like to keep you happy and drunk, and I don't know, spending more. You can see what somebody puts to it. They can't even judge on themselves, so you have to judge for them. They they so drunk they might win a couple of times. They don't know where they are. You don't remember them times, man? So what? Oh no. You keep trying to put a narrative. Yo, that's not true. One time when you was when you was so drunk, niggas was giving them shots of water. That nigga took the water. Like it was tequila. I said, Oh yeah, the fact that we was toasting, though. We was toasting though. I'm a whole thing. You literally gave him a shot of water. But I'm trying to paint a narrative. That's how it's fucked up, man. Things happened though, bro. It was alright. You know, things happen, you know. And I had fun. That's all that's all I mean. That's what matters. Most of the people know you have fun. You're living your life. That's what matter. Didn't fall and hit my head. Didn't put a lawsuit. Jim was done with that nigga. He just he hit the chat like, yo, where y'all at? He pulled up and just threw Maine out the truck. Your turn, Spins. This nigga get out.

SPEAKER_01 51:51

This nigga, man.

SPEAKER_00 51:53

Where's that, Spins? Yeah. I said, oh, this is a setup. Jim dropped this nigga off. Oh shit. Ready to turn up some of the shit. That's our dog, man. We held it down. Yeah, man. We held it down. How and what age do you start having that talk with your kids about police interactions? And this is stemming from the other day we all seen the police beating up somebody in the liquor store in Brooklyn. And then come to find out they had the wrong person the whole time and they did him bad. They dusted him off at the nigga being jumped in Central Park. That was fucking crazy. Yeah, when I looked at that, I thought about my son. Because I said to myself, if my son was walking into a store and the police approached him, how would I want him to handle that? He's 23 years old. It could be the same scenario. The police said, yo, we got a description of somebody that robbed somebody that was wearing green shorts. If my son walked in the store, he had on green shorts. How would I want him to handle that? And I really feel like I would want him to handle that. Look, comply, brother. I don't need you. I don't I don't need you. And the sad thing about that is Duke was complying. Yeah, and they still got with them. They got with him. They got wet in a couple. They didn't even give him no nut. They just got with them. They got some. I literally believe the police take no responsibility for their actions. Like they just out here wildin'. But on the flip side, it is scary to know that you have children out here and by chance they could be in the middle of a situation like that. And I always talk to my son about police interaction, also, and tell him, please. Say as less as possible. And if it comes down to that, you know, you got people to call and don't talk to them. That's it. Be as cool and smooth as you can. Don't even get upset. You dig? And go through the motions, because I'll be there in a second, and the lawyer be there even faster. So you know what I mean? Because it's it's hard. And keep your mouth shut. You ain't got nothing to talk to them about. I would say comply and we figure it out. You know what I'm saying? I'd rather you go that route and it escalate in another direct direction. They locked my son in when he likes 16 or 15. The new year's they kick it over. They were doing a bunch of bad shit that we used to do. So when I go to the precinct to go get him, the officer like, um you got a you got a good son. That nigga went mute. Told me his name, said let me call my father. He ain't had nothing else to say about nothing. He didn't even hear us, he didn't even see us, no nothing. He said, I just wanna call my dad, that's it. I was like, that's all he's that's all he's supposed to do, bro. How you feel about that, Mr. David? With the with the cops, I feel like in my household, I was taught out the gate, we black. So it's a they you know what I mean? Like, it's a different outlook. So I feel like with my kids, I put them on to how the police are, but at the same time, I don't I don't think they gonna. I would hope they wouldn't be put in certain situations. Certain shit I can't control. But I would hope they wouldn't. Did your father give you a car? Because I didn't have nobody to tell me how I should act when if police was to approach. I learned that the whole did your like did your father get a chance to do it. Never had any conversation. You had somebody give you that conversation about how to do that. My mom gave me a little spill on it. My mom's actually worked for the police department for a little while too. So she always kind of just told me, like, if anything happens, just go and I'ma we're gonna figure it out. Yeah, cheat code a little bit. Yeah, sure. Yeah, I never I never got no talking about how to conduct. But it's scary though, right? Because you can hope that these situations don't occur, right? But our kids are gonna grow, they're gonna explore, they're gonna venture off, they're gonna have their own lives, which they already starting to do that now. And then you we can't control every situation anymore. Right. We may be somewhere and they, you know, out with their friends. How do you how do you conduct yourself? So I think the conversation is more or less about because this this generation may be feisty when it comes to police. What I think every generation, we was feisty at police interaction at young age. We used to run as soon as you seen police sometimes. 100%. We ain't even want to talk with them unless we was caught. Like, we ain't getting away from them. We ain't want what we want for ourselves and what we did for ourselves is different than what we want for our kids. 100%. I don't want my kid running, you know, police chasing me down, calling me nigga, beating on me, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't want that for my son. You know? So it's like, look, homie, if you ever in a situation just comply, all the back and forth, it's not gonna matter. Right? Because they got they got a job to do, and and it's just gonna be it's just gonna be what it is. Call me, whatever. But you know what, Mandani, what's the name, Mandani? Like, I need you to really lock in and really like remove some of these people because at the end of the day, you see how they was talking to the people on the camera? I don't give a fuck, bitch. Yeah, some of these cops are out of out of control, bro. We don't need we don't need that, right? We trying to get to a better space with the city and all that, and everything that's going on. All of like, we gotta like remove these niggas, these rogue cops that got this attitude, and they so overzealous and over-aggressive. Right. Because look at the situation, they did all that for nothing, and dude was a regular nigga. Let's see how this something definitely Rodney Kingdom. He about to get a bag. Easy. I wanted to ask you because you got daughters. Do you think that's a conversation you gotta have with? Yeah, already, well, Kyrie already had it, because they it's been situations where they've been in a car with me and I get pulled over. You know what I'm saying? And I gotta, my natural, like what the fuck? I would naturally be a certain way. I gotta, you know what I mean? I I I try to be cool as I could possibly be if they around me. You know what I'm saying? Like, because I don't ever want them to think uh to be angry with the police. That's how I grew up. Always angry with them, always they against me. You know what I'm saying? I don't really want my daughters to feel like the police is against them. Like, you know what I'm saying? I don't want them to have that outlook growing up. Even though they would feel that way in a car if you was in a car with some boys, would you feel like you have to? Nah, I would put them on, like my pops put me on, like the same way. Like, my pops always let me know you're a black man in America. So chances are this shit go left, you're gonna be in the wrong. That's what I was taught from a little kid. So, yeah, with boys, I would definitely have that conversation. Because I feel like a man get now. We see it on the internet now, they violate men and women. Yeah, but I think the the general thought is they a little easier with women. Yeah. I think women also don't think that they even gonna get violated in that. Like that way. Like they like they can talk shit a little bit, but when they get you like, oh shit, you can't. Some of them cops that get right with them. I done seen it. They get right with a woman. Have you had that conversation with your sons? Nah, not in a deeper sense. I think I do, now that he's 18, I think I gotta have that kind of like what he's saying, like who you are is like your who you represent is more than just who you are. They don't know who you are, but you represent the black man in America. How you look, yeah. Black kid in America. They might look at you as like a little drill rapper, or like, you know, you got braids, you got, you know, you already have a stigma already attached to you. That you already come with it. That you don't even know you're walking with. Yeah, but it's on. You could be a good kid. They don't they don't know a good kid from scary. That's what happened with Trayvon and you know many more. That you know, you could be whoever, but they looking at you with this already look that you see that complexion. That's that's what's scary. But how do you handle a situation? And I've been in this situation, because you know sometimes you know you got these cops that just talk slick. They talk crazy, they talk down. All right, and you with your son or you with your daughters, and you ain't and they talking to you crazy. Talking crazy in front of your kids. In front of your kids. I think that's one of them situations where you gotta be in that situation, but I would say Ah, that's tough. I think that's tough. My son is the one that kind of because my son knows when I see my son damn near cry so that I wouldn't crash all the way the fuck out. You know what I mean? Cause I I've been in that situation where people talking down to you and your son is there, and you know, it's a whole different, like the way you might have took it when you was by yourself, as opposed to now your son being in here having it's like I've been in that situation when the cop was talking crazy to me at like he was a street nigga. And I I ain't gonna lie, I like I I think I might have let it slide more if I wasn't with my son. That's what I'm trying to say. Like, nigga, you talking to me like this in front of my son. I can never let my son see a man disrespect me. If you a police and I'm doing something wrong, nigga, lock me up. The fuck you talking to? Do your job, boy. Like, don't talk to me like that. Like, what's up? You understand? Like, I can't allow myself. You belittle me and all of that. Yeah, right. Don't talk to me like that. Just punk ass salary. Do what you need to do. Cause anything's anything like anything else other than this is just this, right? You not a street nigga. You can sit here and talk about, you gonna see me. You're gonna see me. You violating with your badge, you violating. Yeah, man. I just got I just it's tricky dealing with police, man. So I hope I'll shh. I'm Donnie, get it right, man. Let's get it right. Let's get these, let's, let's get these people together, man. This segment is brought to you by Morgan and Morgan. Now, why do y'all think it's important to use your influence to create opportunities? Let's start with Jim, because I think what you're doing here at IFC is creating opportunities for people in the times that we in. People are um trying to find a creative space in the world. And this is a place that helps give that opportunity. Um can you speak on just creating opportunities for others and why you think it's important? Um, I think it's kind of our responsibility as black men of success and get to a certain per point where we can uh turn around and give other people opportunities. And this is something I just didn't start doing. If people know me, I've always kind of tried to give people opportunities in my own little circle of which I can uh provide. But uh and moving forward, I feel like this place is just a reflection of things that I started from small case studies from remember the studio on 28th Street Days. Right. You know what I mean? Like that was like a sw baby incubator version of what I have here. And then but just being able to help people give me a great gratitude. Like that really makes me feel like strong and shit like that. Cause I know I didn't have those opportunities, and people didn't necessarily help me too much when I needed most. And and moving in today's world and content is key, and watching how everything is moving from things went to labels to now all the labels are shut down. And it's like this is a great opportunity to put something new into play, also something creative for people to come and help us take it to the next level. Cause I can't do this without the people and without giving these people opportunities to put the IFC in front of the world and probably do this in multiples in different places. But I'm just I'm I'm just one of the people that like helping others. Man, I'm gonna clap for that though, bro. Come give it, give this one, bro. Jimothy. That's that was that was real good, man. So what I was gonna say, what you how do you how do you feel about the importance of creating opportunities? You gotta pay it for it. You understand? Just I think you should always be an outlet for others as much as you could. As much as you can. What? You gotta be gotta be getting a light for others. You gotta shine your life. Leno Day was kind of an example of creating opportunities. Um, right, right, right. And giving back. And giving back, creating opportunities, giving back, and and reminding people that we haven't forgotten them. Um and just, you know, doing what wasn't done for us, right? And and just trying to make a difference. You know, I think that we should, I think we all have that responsibility. Um whether whether we act out on it fully, it depends on what we at in our lives. We gotta save ourselves first, put ourselves in a position to be able to do certain things. So yeah, I think it's it's it's dope to do that. Because you're not only it's giving back to the community, but you're also giving people opportunity for different jobs. Because it doesn't, there's so much going on out there, so many companies you have to hire, so many people that you're gonna make some money that day. Absolutely. And then it's a continuous thing. So now they're prepping from this year to next year, so now you have people that's looking forward to. I think it's just a great feeling to put people or to have people in a situation where you know the the work you put in or got yourself to a certain point. They don't have to do what you what you did, but you still create an opportunity an opportunity for them to do whatever they. Is they doing. And sometimes what it is is just the opportunity. Right. It ain't always giving somebody something. It's the opportunity. And sometimes the opportunity is a good thing. It can just be around it, right? Sometimes it's you know pointing somebody in the right direction. It could be small, bro. Like it don't always have to be combos. Opportunities can change your life. Sometimes way more than money can. Would you take money or opportunity? It depends. It depends. I mean on the back. And how much money are we talking? Okay, let's let's keep it real. Well, can money take the place of money for you in your life? Absolutely. Sometimes the opportunity is better than the money right now because the opportunity is gonna be greater in the long run. And also sometimes opportunity gives people a chance to provide for themselves rather than you giving them money. If you give somebody money, eventually they're gonna spend it and then not have money again. So if you give somebody an opportunity, it's like that saying where you uh you could give somebody a fish or teach a man how to fish. So when you teach him how to fish, now he's always has the skill set to go catch more fish. On his own. So what about the people that say I bring you to the water, but you gotta get your own fish, and they ain't teaching you how to fish. I mean, you at the water now, you now you got the opportunity to get it. Anybody can't even get to the water. Right. The fact that you got to the water, that's it. Oh, then you're close enough. All makes sense. Figure that out. Right. If you want it bad enough, you're gonna get you some fish. Yeah, that's a fact. You you your first problem was getting here. You didn't. Now it's on you, nigga. Figure it out. At one point you don't know how to fish, and then you know you can check out Morgan and Morgan. Their fee is free unless they get the win, baby.

He told me he loves her. What you should really do is give him some pussy. Damn, cousin. Yeah. First. That's what you should do. Right after he cracked, you gotta look over and be like. Let him crack first. He has to let him crack first. First before she tells him that. Because you know he's been a good sport. And just off the shrimp, that he's been a good sport for a year, and he has not cracked, and he's telling you that he loves you. She gotta hear what you might really be a stand-up guy. Give that man some pussy, man. Whether it works out or not after that. Whether or not he she owes him some pussy. And after you, after you finish, you fix him something to eat, and you walk back to him with your plate and you tell him, said, hey, listen, 20 years ago, I fucked your cousin. I fucked your cousin 20 years ago. Hey, listen. What if the cousin wants to hit again? Oh. But that's why he she gotta be honest. He's trying to reconnect. He's trying to reconnect with his cause. So what happened between him and the cousin that they ain't seen each other. And then the cousin wants to be able to get it. They ain't that tight. That's crazy. No, they ain't that tight. But here's the thing. He's trying to reconnect. And then the other alternative is that she don't say nothing. And then what if they do reconnect and she's if he sees her? He's like, oh, you were shorty. Yo, you know I just wanted to go. She gotta call the cousin first. Like, yo, you know I'm fucking with your cousin, but I he wanna try to pull up. And then he on the phone, like, let me clap. You know, I'm I'm trying to clap. Cousin trying to reconnect too. Let me clap. You ain't even clap him yet? Nah, let me just clap. I'm holla at my cousin, but you gotta let me clap. Something gotta give. It's family now. It's all in the family now. Let me ask you this, man. Could you be romantically involved with a woman for a year and don't be romantically involved with her? So what? You say what's what he said. I said what? I'm saying, I'm asking you because you had been in a relationship with this woman for a year and not cracked. My nigga, what? Me? Yeah, maybe. Me not cracking? No. That can never happen. No. No. Maybe. Would you ever be with anyone for a year and not crack be feeling? And build something real. I couldn't. Can we build nothing real? How real could it be? It takes at least a year to build something real. Well, it's a lot of fucking to get real. So you can't get real 100%. You can't get real without knowing a woman. You can't get to know a woman without fucking her. No. It's not real. It's not real. You can get to know it, but it's not real. I don't really know you yet. I know you. That was a loaded question. Let me just say this. Well, check this out. I don't know you like that. You saying I don't know the real you. Not yet. Not just yet. I know the idea, but I don't know the reality. I know the idea of you. You saying the question is, can you have romantic intentions with a female without being romantic? Without cracking. Without a man. You're never being romantic with the city. Because he's obviously in a romantic relationship. Is it a platonic relationship? No, he's in a romantic relationship in his mind. He said for a year, he's fallen in love. He said, I love you. Like you mean in the back of your mind, you want to kill, but you just. That's what I'm saying. That don't work for me. That could never work for me. I don't know how that works. That's not my life, bro. That could never be my life. It would have never been my life. It would have never been my life. That could never be me. That could have never been my life. That could have never been me. So you're saying what she should do is. So you can't get to know any women, is what you're saying. Tell the unless you credit him as a little pussy. Tell him after she. After she gave him some sleep. No, I think she should sleep with him. Okay. Because he's he's look, this nigga should win a fucking no bulk peace prize. Like he did. He stayed there. He did a year. What if you wait a year and it's by source-ish? That's right. That's the chance he's taking. That's a chance. That's the chance he already takes. Well, you think they should get the shit from China, then try that out first. Turn us to yeah, turn him in. And that's the episode, ladies and gentlemen, for today's Michael.
