Oh, damn. Your barber got it for you? She found it for me.

Okay, how would you feel if you found out like it wasn't real or it was? Okay, I'll think you twice about it too. I was like, if I opened this box and there's nothing in there. But you're paying like hella bread, if not more, than what it costs market value. At the store, it was 40 bucks, but online it was like 200. Yeah, and so how much did your barber get off you? What do you mean? Because you said your barber got it for you?

Yeah, my barber got it from me. just ended up giving it to me as a gift. As a gift. Oh, damn. That's very nice. Because she knew how much I really wanted. I was like, dude, like, I was sitting in the barbershop. What a kind?

I was sitting in the barbershop. Like, yo, like, anybody see this? Find it. Get it for me. Like, I'll get you. I got you. Okay. Well, if you've spent money,

over in Arcadia. A seizure of what they say are shoes, goods. Everybody thought, like, the Nike mines, have you ever seen those slip-offs? They're new. They're like a new thing that you wear them before you run or you wear them and they get to, like, your mental state is like,

whew! But they were fake, they're counterfeit. You still paid up the bread, though. Yeah. I guess how do you feel about that? Like, you're paying bread for reseller price, but then you find out, like, that stuff. They're fake.

Oh, I'd be mad. That pisses me. y'all. That puts me off and I never even bought it. That puts me off and I look at it and I was like, I'll search it. I'll see the prices. I'll be like, yeah, it's too much. I'm good.

Hello? Hi, how do I say your name correctly? Corian. Corian. Corian. All right, Corian, talk to us. Our homie Guillermo would like to know if his feelings are just regular. like fleeting passing by or if this is something that maybe he should explore because he might

just have found out that he is gay. I think he just stopped out that he was gay. Ooh. Yep. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, you know, I think there's one thing of like, you know, finding out your gay and accepting him. But how do you find out that you're gay?

I think he's trying to accept it. Yeah, accept it. Well, because, I mean, you know, I mean, I have, you know, a guy. fan members that have gay homeless and they've always said that they knew from the very beginning of like when they started understanding attraction right they would see someone like I'm attracted to that person or I do that you know you know things that are very feminine and that I feel a certain way and it was from very young age so I don't think you I don't know if you turn to something like that yeah it might be different it might be different for everyone's like background but

Corian can you make sure that I am off speaker and And Bluetooth, you just have me to your ear, please. Okay, perfect. Because you said, you mentioned welcome to the family. Are you talking from that perspective? Yes. Why? So what did you know?

What happened? Because I experienced before. What did you experience was? Talk to us. Tell us your story. I was feeling this girl. And, like, just like everything about her, I liked it. So I was low-key trying to fight the feeling, but it just came out.

Really? So was it someone at work? Was it someone you ran across at the store? And previous to that, you kind of were never, you never thought that about another girl? It was a friend of mine at that. And I never thought about that with nobody else. Oh. How old are you?

28. When did this happen? Say that again. When did this happen? Like a year ago. Oh, you're fresh. Like at 27, you find out, like, hey, I'm having these feelings. Yes.

Wow. Turn off the radio because you're, now I hear myself double time. Are you, were you like, did you tell her? Are you with her? No, I told her, but we've been cool every fifth in. Oh. Wait, so did anything happen, though? A little bit.

Hold on. Are you gay for her or just gay in general? Gay for her. So then you'd be... That's what this guy's thinking. One and done? So you would date dudes, so you're technically straight. Yeah, she was straight. So last year. She's still straight, but she'll only be gay for her.

So she just took a quick detour. Yes. Or are you interested in more women now? Some like that, yeah. Okay. All right. All right. All right. You're giving little details, but I appreciate you calling in. You call us and give us tidbits. Thank you so much.

She's giving us just a tip. Yeah. She's just drip, drip, drip of info. Just drip. Okay, okay. Arturo in Korea Town. What's up, Art? Hey, good morning.

Good morning. We're trying to figure out for the homie Guillermo. Guillermo is, how old is he? 27 years old. He's 27 years old. He recently has been in the gym and kind of, his feeling a little bit weird feelings for this one dude that comes up to him and is saying, hey, you look good.

He started blushing. can't stop thinking about this guy. And it's wondering, like, is this how it starts? Is this how you know? Or is this just like a regular thing? Kind of feel these things naturally. And it's not a total, hey, you're a tractor to men. That's definitely how it starts.

When I was listening to that story, like the way that he was complimenting him and then they, you know, complimenting him back. Then he invited him to work out together. That's the next step. So it's definitely going somewhere, you know? Like sometimes, sometimes guys are. a little bit less flamboyant and they're not you know he's one of them just needs to

like step up and just be like hey you want to smash or like oh just like hey what we do in here hey what we doing here straight to it KpWRFMHT1 Los Angeles Power 106 at least number one for hip hop Arturo are you talking like this because you understand this

what where is your insight on this coming from? Well I'm I'm a married man and when you know like younger I was dating girls you know so I would but I was So I attracted, I was checking out the guys too. And I didn't know what was going on until, you know, until I actually tried it. And then, well, I'm gay.

You know, I knew at that point I was gay. You liked it. Yeah. So many questions, bro. You said you're married. Yeah. To have you? I'm married.

I've been married seven years. Yeah. I've been married seven years. To a man? To a man. Yeah. I'm married to a man. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. I thought you meant. I married and then I went and I felt. Oh. Oh, no, no, I'm married to a man. So before seven years ago, when you were like, oh, so you gay, were you with girls? Did you feel yucky?

Did you, were you like, yeah, what am I doing? No, you know what? I didn't feel yucky. I just, like, kept, like, checking out the guys, and I didn't know what was going on. And then, you know, until I tried it. And that sounds like the story that you guys are talking about right now, you know, that he needs to, like, really explore that because if he keeps on thinking about the guys, because there's something else going on.

You with your husband, is that the first you were with or Yandavas? No, no, he's not the first man I was with. But we were married seven years. I've been with my husband 17 years now. Oh, wow. When you said the first step was checking out, the second step was working out, and then it was like, hey, you want to smash? Is that how forward it was with you?

You know what? No, it might be like, you know, like, have you guys seen heated rivalry where like they're working out and then all of a sudden, like, they're during the water bottle. They're during the water bottle, and they take their fingers, and then they check each other's, you know, like, they check each other's physique, and then, like, so it's like they're building up to something. Nah, man, I've never seen that.

No, I haven't seen that. What is it? What's it called? Heated rivalry? Heater rivalry, yeah. Okay. Is it, like, an adult film or something? What are you talking about?

You know what? It's a Netflix show. It's about two hockey players that are, they're gay but they're you know they don't know they don't want to come out yeah they don't want to come out yeah okay so if you play yeah and they you know they slowly build up to that like they're they're flirting and they're you know complimenting each other and like but it's you know um it takes time for them to get to that point arthur when you first with the with the first dude that you at the gym were you in a relationship already with someone were you single were you with a girl

I guess how would you know that? I was single. Okay, good, good. I was single at that point, yeah. Yeah, so I was just, you know, young, exploring myself, you know, and that's how I feel like this guy, you know, he's taking too long, he's 27, you know? He, you know, he thinks he's straight and he might be straight to bed, but he's not just straight, you know, there's something else going on.

He needs to explore that. Explore it, explore it. Straight to bed. Yeah. Do the thing with the water bottle, see what happens. Thank you so much, Arturo. Hey, that's the insight we need, though, someone that went through it, and figured it out. It's great.

Make him watch Brokeback Mountain. See how he reacts to that. The homie? Yeah. What happens in it? You saw it? Everybody sees Brokeback Mountains. I've never seen it.

I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it, Greg. Did you know before or after you saw it? What was happening? I saw her as a kid. My family was crazy. My family was crazy. My family.

My family. Greg, watch this. It's because they do. Greg, watch this. Tell me what you feel. Did it tickle you? Zool would come here? Now what's going on?

She's Mason with Angie. Okay, how many of us have dogs? I have a dog. You have a dog? Oh, okay. Do you ever play with it? You chase it, all that? Yes.

Okay, we'll stop both of you. Because apparently that could actually be a dating ick, or at least according to this actress, Isla Fisher, which she's known from. wedding crushers. Oh my god, don't ever leave me. Ever. Good. Because I'd find you. I got it. I love her. I love that stage five clingers. Yeah, but apparently she was sharing how she got like the biggest ick from finding out that her man, her ex was actually out here chasing dogs. Listen. I have a dating ick that happened recently. I liked somebody. His dog ran away and he chased his dog. But instead of like chasing upright,

He ran low with his hands outstretched. And like the egg was growing and growing. And by the time he caught the dog, he had lost the bus. It's like a sumo wrestling stance, no? Yeah. Like your hands are low. You're like, come here, come here, come here. But apparently that gave her the ick.

And she was like, ugh. Oh, my gosh. She had a crush on someone. Well, I don't know if it was her crush or it was her ex-husband. She said, I like someone. I think it was probably a new guy, but she's probably... Recently. Yeah, trying to, like, get into dating.

And it's like, any little thing is just turning her off. Yeah, he chases dog weird? Yeah, we can't even chase our dog. No, apparently not. I don't know, you get icks really, you have really weird icks too. Yeah, I do have really weird ics. What's an egg that you have for dating? If she makes you share food or if she fucking touches your ketchup?

Flat hugs. Flat hugs. Flat hugs. We're any flat hugs. Oh, but they're old. Oh my God. Flat hugs and then. I think all folks are flat.

No, like, yantas. Like wasted flat hugs. are an it, brother. Let me tell you. They go sideways now. Oh my God. I know what you mean. Fong,

God. Good thing you're married and you don't need to be dating. I tell my girl, don't wear those damn things. What's your dating, Greg? I have such a big one and I can't think of what it is. There's so many, that's why. I used to talk to this girl and she would eat the biggest wet burrito you've ever seen in your life every day for Ramona's looking at you like, what does that got to do nothing?

Imagine. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. You're out of her pooping? It was just too much. It was like, no, like you've never seen a bigger wet burrito. Every day for lunch. Every day for lunch?

Once in a while. That thing got to come out. And it was never like, oh, I couldn't finish it. No, I finished the whole thing. Every day. Did it ick you that she didn't share with you? No, she would send me a lunch. Oh, time for lunch again.

Like, that's not cute. And there was never. I'm gonna take the rest home. Yeah, never. It was always finished. Every time. Every time. And that was his dick.

And that was a real breaker for you. What's your girl's his dick? Honestly, it's a certain brand that Marcus, my boyfriend cannot wear Adidas. To me, it's just like, ugh. I know, I know. I'm a Nike girl, but that's my thing. Like, I can't. Nothing Adidas, please.
