Somebody skipping showers is one thing. Somebody barely brushing their teeth and still expecting closeness, kisses, and intimacy is a whole different level. We kick things off with a story about personal hygiene that is funny until it turns serious, because bad habits do not just offend your nose. They can put somebody’s health at risk and force real conversations about boundaries, respect, and sexual health.
From there, we dig into the part nobody wants to admit: most people do not know how to tell someone they smell. We talk through what “self-correction” looks like, why you cannot hide funk with cologne, and how to approach hygiene and oral hygiene without trying to shame somebody. At the same time, we keep it honest about accountability. If a person refuses to do the basics, you do not have to accept it just to keep the peace.
Then we widen the lens to friendship and personal growth. I explain why I missed podcasting, what changed behind the scenes, and why real friends are supposed to pull you aside when you are doing too much. No yes men, no fake support, just people who want to see you win and will tell you the truth before life embarrasses you. If you rock with straight talk about relationships, personal hygiene, self-improvement, and friendship accountability, tap in, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.
Welcome Back And Setting The Tone
SPEAKER_01I'm
The Hygiene Story That Sparks It
SPEAKER_01back. So I know y'all been looking and trying to say, what the fuck is this motherfucker gonna be talking about today? My homegirl called me and we were having a conversation about, you know, I'm sorry y'all give me one second.
unknownI need ARM.
SPEAKER_01My TV in the background was gone. I'm sorry. My TV in the background was gone. But we were having a conversation. Because we were talking about hygiene. Everybody ain't the cleanliness. Everybody ain't the the freshest smelling. But we were having a conversation about somebody's personal hygiene. I was like, okay, shit, how can't bad can it be? Because I was I was sitting up there talking about, okay, shit. I know I ain't gonna I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna fake kick it. I'm gonna keep shit P. I done forgot to put it on deodorant before. Motherfucker got there, move this way too fast, move that way too fast. And you got them get a swiff of onions. And it's like, ooh, I know that ain't me. Boy, I shoot. I can't lie, shoot. I tried to I tried to tighten my shit up. I went to the bathroom, you know, get the little hand soap, took my shirt off, tried to goddamn, you know, freshen up a little bit. But I mean, shit, I tried to self-correct. Shit ain't help nothing. I'm over here smelling like goddamn bubblegum. But we we I had to self-correct. But some people are so stuck in their ways to where they think shit is clean and pure and safe outside. So the the way the story went was the guy that she was dealing with, well, not her, not her. Let's go ahead and get this straight. It was a third-party story. You get what I'm saying? I asked for permission to tell this shit because I thought it was shit was fucking hilarious. Um we were talking about the shit, and she was telling me that the dude the girl was dealing with took a bath once every two days. Like, I mean, I I don't know too many folks to be like, shoot, I ain't took no bath today, but I take one tomorrow or I take one the next day. Shit, I'm running a little behind. Well, you finna you to you finna take a whole bath. You finna say splish splash, I was taking a bath or something. You finna do something to freshen up just a tiny bit. But we was sitting there and they were and they were talking about it, and I was just like, okay, whatever, whatever, whatever. She tells me, yeah, the dude don't even really brush his teeth too strong. What? So nigga won't around funk mouth too? So funk nuts and funk ass and funk mouth. Bro, that's that's a that's a triple threat. That three strikes you out, bro. So don't nigga wake up and go to sleep with the same funk breath. So that so he he amplifies it throughout the day by whatever the fuck he eats. So, you know, I'm just sitting there just taking everything in, just I'm just like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he tells me her homegirl, her homegirl done told her she had to go to the doctor a couple of times because of him not being properly hygienically clean. I mean, that might not sound that might sound like, ooh, what the fuck? Yeah, shit. That is a true epitome, the true testament, the true top-tier shit to goddamn dirty dick. Oh, I'm sorry. I might get flagged on this. I forgot I'm recording on multiple different streaming video platforms. I mean, he had musty nut. And everybody knows what like if you're going to work out, you want to work in a in a hot plant, you done worked in a hot atmosphere around dirt, grime, and musk, and you done had a long, extended period of days, like like today, say you done worked 12 hours, plus you had other shit to do on top of that, and you might take off your clothes, and them drawls, you take off them drawless, and they stand up on themselves, or they stand up and try to walk to the damn dirty clothes handle themselves. Well, you know you need to wash your ass.
When Poor Hygiene Affects Health
SPEAKER_01But this girl was telling my homegirl that she done got bacteria viaginosis from him using, I don't know whether it was dirty D or the dirty mouth. But still, how do you tell somebody they have to accept that's that that's the way you are? Because I'm sorry. If your breath kicking like Bruce Lee, if your shit on war, shit, I ain't fucking with it. Hey, you keep that shit all the way over there. I mean, shit, that shit like a hell marriage, that shit like a hundred yards dash. Man, keep that shit all the way down when because everybody done met that one person in their life. That breath smell like straight goddamn eggs. I'm talking about eggs. Well, you gotta you gotta sit there and cover your mouth and and nose, and that shit done burnt all the nose hair and nostril hair and your motherfucking shit to where you just are just overwhelmed and and verbally assaulted by the words they got doing used towards you and in a conversation the way you don't you don't you won't even goddamn stop the conversation because it it's so strong and abusive to your your your your your mental your mental health because how do you tell somebody you want to pack a gun? Bro, I got an extra toothbrush. I mean they got some gas out there to smell better than your breath. I mean shit just blur burn your whole mouth open, bro. Just I mean shit just that I it's it's just to the point where too much is too much. You get what I'm saying? Um and I just understand because I mean I let go ahead and keep it P. Once upon a time, shit, I ran into this uh when I was married, my ex-wife was friends with a girl that with a dude that I went to school with. We ain't gonna say no name, we ain't gonna say nothing to embarrass nobody. But when she told me who she was talking to and entertaining, I I asked my ex-wife, I said, How how does she kiss some I kiss him because of what they got going on because oh I'm sorry my son's calling me. Um, because of what they got going on, because it's abusive. How strong is your I I said, how she kiss him? Because I mean his because I done talked to the motherfucker in person, and I gotta keep about 50 feet between him when he got down damn near has a hazard conversation because that shit that shit disrespectful. Let's go ahead and keep it honest. Let's say that shit disrespectful. Cause like I said, let's go ahead and ask the question. When they breast meal that bad and that strong, the only person in the position you can do is back shots. Because there's no way in fuck that you're gonna be up there breathing all hard and in my face, and you're gonna say and and I'm getting all that odor from every whore uh and oh my god, do you rush them to finish? Because there's no way in the hell I'm gonna be able to sit there and last an extensive amount of time just doing a nasty with you because that that that shit is strong. Because, I mean, let's go ahead and be honest. I know we don't like to be rude, we don't like to be, you know, disrespectful to people. We we gotta respect people because we don't know what kind of medical conditions they have. They might have some rotten teeth or some shit. But how is it that you can offer somebody a toothbrush or some stronger toothpaste or some sh some mouthwash you done seen on TikTok that strip all that shit out of there and tell them, hey, this might help. Because let's go ahead and be honest. If your shit smells like kung fu, I ain't kissing you. But we here to laugh and joke.
Why I Came Back To Podcasting
SPEAKER_01I know y'all miss me. Because it's been a while, and a lot of shit has changed. Yeah, I had to clean up a little bit and stuff. I had to shoot, I was trying to pursue something, and they were looking at everything in my personal life. And I felt like something was missing. A dream that I was chasing for the longest that helped me get through some of my darkest moments and my darkest times, I was lacking thereof.
SPEAKER_00And I was missing my podcast. So let's weigh these options. Do I sit there and chase this dream?
SPEAKER_01Or do I push and try to tweak things a little bit better to where my podcast or the things that come out of my mouth is a little bit more pleasant. Man, I ain't got nobody on here shaking ass and you know, throwing tits all over the place. But we ain't gonna lie, shoot. I do say some raunchy shit. I'm controlled a little bit on here than I am in my in my actual personal life, because if you know me, you know. My mouth is a little bit reckless at times, but it's well perceived and well communicated because hey, everything's for laughs. Some things you gotta just struggle off. Because even with me, shit, I man, shit, let me tell you. I was walking around this bitch looking like quasi fucking Moto this weekend. My eye was swollen shut. I had a sty that got infected. I'm talking about that bad bubble. Pussing. I'm up here asking people, how how do you spell puss? But I know it's not the same thing as when you add the Y to it, but so is it still pus? Um, because I mean we're here to have fun, we're here to vent a little bit, we here to share our own experiences in life and grow more than diminish. And a lot of people are only here to diminish certain aspects of their lives or embarrass themselves just for their 15 minutes of fame or a little bit of cheese. Shit, we can always make money, but I shit, but I stand on everything I say. I mean everything I say and I ain't got time. The one thing about me, my pet peeve is hey, don't embarrass me. You wanna piss me off the the easy way? Embarrass me.
Real Friends Do Not Stay Quiet
SPEAKER_01You wanna bring me out my character? Embarrass me. You wanna goddamn be cut the fuck off? Embarrass me. Because at this point in time in my life, shit. I pick and choose who I want in my circle. My circle's so small, man, shit, you can goddamn blow through that bitch. Because everybody isn't privy to being in your presence. Everybody doesn't belong in your presence. Hey, let's go ahead and keep it straight. Let's go ahead and keep it peak. Some people just only temporary. Some people just like the goddamn cigarette you smoke, only there for a couple minutes. Only there for a little bit of satisfaction and you just throw them away. So it's what you build and share with people to help get them through the day. Because it don't it don't take too much to self-correct or build up on nobody or push people in the positive light or to make them feel better about themselves. Hey, I was just tapping in with you, or I was just checking in on you. Or hey, like we say, real friends don't take friends to the ER, we take them to the waffle house. The reason why I say that, we take care of our buddies, we tap in with our buddies, we tap into those that we call our friends because friends, a lot of y'all throw that shit around like it's too easy. So if you and your homegirl going to the club or you and your partner going to the club, and that Finn ain't doing it for them, tell them about it. Don't just let them go out there look like a goofy. If that motherfucker stepped from the line and doing certain shit that you don't co-sign with or you don't stand for, say something to them. Don't just don't just take it and just accept it because you consider him a friend or you're afraid to lose it. Shit, say something. Or they doing too much in their own personal life, or you tell them they wrong, man. Ain't nobody in this world want a yes man around them. Hey, if you're a yes man, hey, kick that shit to the left. Kick that shit to the right. Because shit, man, get the fuck away for around me if you just a yes man. I want to if I'm fucking up, hey, put me straight. Give me a little straightening. If I'm coming off the bad way, if I ain't doing what I'm supposed to do as a man, shit, tell me about myself. If I need to stand up, I need to do better, tell me about myself. Don't just let me out here be goddamn just a goofy, just taking up L just taking up space. Shit, tell me about myself. Help me out. Do something. Tell me something. Because at the end of the day, when everything ends and everything goes quiet, I still gotta deal with myself. So don't let me goddamn do too much and embarrass myself out here. Be a real friend. Shit. If that outfit ain't and your homegirl doing too much, tell about herself. If she doing being a thotty potty, tell about herself. Hey, if you're if your homeboy, if your homeboy popping too many yurts, or that drug starting to do them, tell them about itself. Because there's no reason that he should be out here embarrassing himself and you because guess what? A lot of time people associate you with those individuals that you are around and you you you entertain or alien in your circle. Because I got a homeboy, he a he a whole thought pocket. I ain't even gonna lie to you. Running through females, left and right. Do I agree with? No. But have I told him, hey bro, you doing too much. Slow down, bruh. Shit, you bring too much noise, you cause too much noise. Shit, next thing I know, shit. Oh, you associate yourself with him, and you must have the same mores and saying guidelines he lives off of. Uh no, ma'am. No, baboo. No, boo boo. We don't do that. We don't do that. But you are who you hang around sometimes, and you are who you associate yourself with. Sometimes, even with people say, Oh, that's my partner. Oh, I know him. First thing they do is, oh shit, you might be on the same fuck shit. And it's sad. Because, like, I tell people all the time, I judge individuals off individuals. I don't judge them off of what you say, she say, he say, anybody say. I judge you off of your interactions with me, not based off on nobody else or what they say about you. I base that shit off of you. Nobody else. So, I mean, what do we do? Do we just sit there and just take it, grin and bear? Or sometimes do we need a little bit of self-reflection that just pull your partner to the side and address the situation? Because like they say, they don't let fr friends don't let friends drive drunk. But friends don't let friends goddamn be out here doing too much of being goofies. Because at the end of the day, we still gotta be around them. Because if they doing they, if they doing they, if they elevating, you gonna you gonna want to congratulate them. Now, if they doing wrong or they doing some fuck shit, you need to you need to tell them about themselves. Stop letting them be out here making a fool out of themselves. Just for your benefit sometimes. Because I'm gonna tell you something. The individuals that let people just go out there and just hang themselves and just dirty their name, sell it their name, and just make themselves just look bad just for the masses, or just, or they get too fucked up and can't handle their own liquor. Let's go ahead and be honest. You can't handle your own liquor. Hey, I might need to say something to you. Because I don't want you out here embarrassing yourself and embarrassing me because you done got too drunk. Or we call it a night early because you done did too much. But we all understand sometimes we have demons in our closet and shit that we go through. Sometimes we need to self-medicate or we need to feel a little bit numb just to make it through certain shit. We understand that. I understand it. Because like I said, we all go through shit. We all have our trials, we all have our tribulations. But at some point in time, we got to reel that shit in and let our friends know, hey bro, you're doing too much. Hey, you're fucking up. Hey, bro, you smell a little schmelly. Or that cologne, hey, you can't put funk on cologne, bro. Or you what is it? Or you can't put cologne on funk. Whichever way shit, that shit be smelling like high karate ass. Um, and I just want to see everybody be productive. Um, and sometimes we need to address those friends.
Self-Correction And Wanting Others To Win
SPEAKER_01Don't let your friends self-destruct. Because shit, we like I tell people all the time, I say, my house is my peace. And once I step out of those doors, the world is against me. Very few times do I walk out that door, and the people outside of those doors want to see me succeed in life. Only very few people want to see you succeed. Some people just want to see you being ass. Some people want to see you down your downfall. Somebody just want to see you just fail because they just don't like you. Because, hey, let's go ahead and be honest. They fucking with somebody that they they mad at you fucking with and they jealous. So what do we do? Do we still support them? Or do we just say fuck you and fuck the shit you stand on because I'm gonna be me at the end of the day, because at the end of the day, shit, I'm still uh behind closed doors, I'm the one that has to deal with me. Nobody else does. I have to take ownership for the fuck shit that I do. Or the the people I let down. Because let's go ahead and keep it honest. Winning is winning. You ain't gonna win every time. Like you ain't gonna you you ain't gonna forget you you ain't gonna how can I put it? I'm sorry, I'm stuttering a little bit. Um, you're not gonna remember deodorant every day. You might forget. You might forget to brush your teeth because you rush it. But it's for those that are around us that help us keep us straight. So do you have those people around you? I mean shit, tell me. If you do, you do. If you don't, congratulations. But at the end of the day, we wanna see each other win versus lose. And a lot of people fail to realize that. And I mean, where do we go from there? Do we just want you self-destruct? Or would do we want to see you, you know, hey bro, shit, that's my partner. That's my bro, shit. Hey man, shit, he's stepping on shit, man. He winning, bro. Shit, I wanna see y'all motherfuckers got down, you know, go up. I wanna see y'all motherfuckers win. I just want to see you in a better space versus see your downfall. And I miss doing this, and I miss letting y'all, you know, spending, letting y'all, you know, us spending this little quality time together. I mean shit, and that's all I gotta say. For foe, Stephanie, only y'all.
