Brown Bag Mornings - Ep. 660 (Full Episode) He's Basically Like a- Reliable Sedan??? 🚗 | Brown Bag Mornings (02/16/26)

Episode Date: February 16, 2026

The crew navigates a high-stakes Homie Helpline for Antonio, who is ready to "stand on business" and keep a $240 payout after his girlfriend refused to pay her $10 entry fee, leading the squad to pred...ict a very lonely Valentine’s Day for him. The comedy stays "hella studious" as the squad investigates why the Seattle Seahawks’ owner is technically a dead man while his sister runs the team for zero dollars, and reacts to Cardi B’s "pretty and petty" Twitter war with Homeland Security.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, don't make your life harder than it needs to be. You really want to type rap back mornings every single time? Nah, just hit the subscribe button, Perrito. Do it. Go! To make man move. That make man move. Hey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:00:15 For another time, we have to big up and shout out the Seattle Seahawks for winning. Super Bowl. Cessence. But there's some money stuff we got to talk about. Oh. All right. So boom, they win the Super Bowl. Confetti's falling.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Merch is up up there, you know, like the valuation of the team sky high. Yeah. It's up. Ticket sales crazy. Seattle's lit right now. No one's thinking about the other stuff. They're only thinking about good stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:51 But the woman that runs the team, Jody Allen, you would think, oh, she's up right now too. Hell yeah. the bank shot you what you drank. No, bro, she gets zero dollars. Even though she makes sure everything runs smoothly for her late brother. Her late brother is the actual owner of the Seattle Seahawks. He purchased them. His name is Paul Allen.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Purchased them back in the 90s but passed away in 2018. The team did not transfer anything into Jody's personal name, but she is the head of his estate. So she makes sure that she takes care of everything. just like any other owner would. Yeah. But when they're up, she gets nothing. She can't take a little check to her? It goes to the estate of her brother.
Starting point is 00:01:36 It does not go to her. Isn't that wild? It's a dead person. It's part of his assets, estate, all of that. To his kids, his family. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Yes, she's not the owner-owner. She's the trustee, meaning she controls and oversees the team on behalf of the estate. Wow. Yes. When a team wins a Super Bowl, the franchise value typically goes,
Starting point is 00:01:58 goes up hundreds of millions sometimes even more and if that team gets sold we're talking potentially like six to seven billion easy money but she will not get any of it still she's asking the players for loans probably it goes into her late brother pa allen's estate would not go so he didn't set up like the will kind of correctly with the team and stuff and just kind of all fell in like that i'm wondering if they well they probably should have had those conversations or like known like this would have happened but yeah yeah she gets nothing yeah i feel like because of of their success. Like, I don't know, the NFL should figure out a way to let her, like, be, like, the
Starting point is 00:02:32 owner of the team, like, remain the owner of the team. Yeah. So I did try to see, like, okay, could she become the actual owner only if the estate terms allowed the team to be distributed directly to her as a beneficiary. Right now, she's a trustee, not a beneficiary. It would be in the legalities of everything. But yes, right now they win. It not a dime goes to her.
Starting point is 00:02:53 It goes to the estate. So maybe, like, the kids could be like, all right, we want you to have. our shares, possibly, something like that, because probably the kids are the beneficiaries. But then it can go into charities, it can find philanthropy stuff, other stuff that, like, in other ways. The Red Cross owns it. That could be a thing.
Starting point is 00:03:11 It's like when your siblings, like you're trying to like punk each other, he's probably looking down like, they want, but she still don't get anything. Oh, that's a great practical joke. That's a great practical joke. You will act as owner, but you will not get a dime. That's true. All that transfer.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Nothing? No. She runs the Seahog. She don't own the Seahogs. Her past away brother owns the Seahog. And he's still like, I still own it. Ha, ha. Nah, nah, nah.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Nothing about it. That's crazy. I love that. You love that. Whatever I'm going to do to that, I'm going to do that to my sisters. Yeah. What? Run the team.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, there's money. Great start. Tell the studios. What's nine plus 10? Look at this studious food.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Perritos, studios today, check it out. Research has surveyed more than 10,000 single adults across the U.S. from ages 18 to 99, asking how many times in their life have they passionately fallen in love? And on average perritos, they reported only 1 in 7% have not fallen in love. There's more than 7 of us here. 1 in 7%? 1 in 7 people? So 1 in 7 people have not fallen in love.
Starting point is 00:04:25 There's more than 7 people here. Who hasn't fallen in love? Oh. Maybe he has. Jose's in love with the city of Las Vegas. He feels that little tickle. He feels that little tickle every time he lands. Who's to say that falling in love has to do with a person?
Starting point is 00:04:42 That is true. Well, isn't that survey? He has a study. What is to say? What is to say? What I'm saying is that people can fall in love with a doll. That's weird. Is it weird?
Starting point is 00:04:55 Maybe to you. And they end illegal. Yeah. That's not illegal. To fall in love with a dog? A doll. That's crazy. I heard dog.
Starting point is 00:05:04 No, dog. Dog. D-O-L-L. I heard dog. No. And here, you're saying, you're thinking.
Starting point is 00:05:12 You know. You want to get the dog. One in seven Americans said they never experienced passionate love at all. The kind where you're
Starting point is 00:05:20 obsessed with someone can't stop thinking about them and feel that intense butterflies and heartbeat chemistry. It's not just about dating as romance movies
Starting point is 00:05:28 none of that. It's that experience. Researchers measured. That's so sad. One out of seven people. There's one. There's a couple people that I guess maybe they don't understand movies. They don't understand like love songs. They're like, I never felt that before. That's so sad.
Starting point is 00:05:47 It's not sad. They're probably living the best lives. You know, they're probably living a fantastic life. Not falling in love. Love hurts. Love hurts, dog. your person that you marry, Greg, that they tell you I've never felt passionate love before
Starting point is 00:06:04 or that they've felt passion in love for somebody, like their ex. If they didn't fall in love before, I would think they're a psycho in my mind. I'd be like, yo, what's weird? But if it's like I was so passionately in love with them and then now I'm not going to love the same because they ruined it.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Oh, that hurt. Can you hear the hit me with the one? What the one? Hey. Say it. Because if you feel it, say it. You feel it say it. I'm going to give myself.
Starting point is 00:06:32 That sounds worse. Yeah. In English. It sounds really bad in English. No, that is Spanish. Too much. No, that sounds funny. English, it sounds like English.
Starting point is 00:06:42 English, it sounds like you need help. That's exactly that way. Play the logic songs. Yeah, right? Oh, man. Okay, if you're that one in seven person, we feel for you. And we hope that. that kind of love finds you.
Starting point is 00:06:57 We hope that obsessive love finds you. Yeah, please. Obsessive. Maybe it's better to not have felt that? No. You think they're thinking like, no, it's good. I don't want to make bad decisions.
Starting point is 00:07:07 That'd be boring too. Never to feel that is boring. Yeah. Never to feel that is gotta be boring. El amor. Keep your love. Stay smart, peritos. Hello, studios.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Look at this studio as food. All right, check this out, homie. Do you need a homie or need some help? We need a line. I mean phone line. We've got you for the homie help line. Antonio needs our help.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Antonio. Antonio hit us up and said, Hey, Brown Bag, I'm Antonio and I need some help with the Super Bowl situation. He said, I need you guys to be the referees. He said,
Starting point is 00:07:43 this is my second time running a Super Bowl square's pool at work, 100 squares at $10 each. As usual, I asked everyone I know if they wanted a square, including my girlfriend of four years. She said yes. and picked a square, but never paid. Eventually, I told her I'd take over her square since it wasn't paid for, and she said,
Starting point is 00:08:04 whatever. Fast forward, her square hit at halftime for $240. I assumed I won that money, but she's claiming she should get it. She still refuses to pay the square and says she won't. She even says she'd understand if the pool were run by someone else, but since it's me, it's different. Brown bag, I'm throwing up a challenge flag. If your girlfriend agreed to play in a pool but didn't pay,
Starting point is 00:08:28 is it fair for her to claim the prize? Or should the unpaid square belong to me because I paid for it, even if she is my girl? She won fair and square. She didn't pay for it. Okay. Fighting with your girl. He's really dumb for even telling her that he won.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Oh, he should just kept to himself? Yeah, T'bienmenceo, Antonio. She would have not got it. He could have stopped it right there. Between you and us right now. This would want to call in. Wow. Don't think because he thinks if he calls him, his girl won't know is him.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Wow. You don't think his girl will know it's him? Oh, yeah. Based off the details. Yeah. She wears the pants. You're the only fool arguing with your girl about this. How much was it?
Starting point is 00:09:12 Square. 10 bucks. No, no. $10? $2.40. The $240? The $240 you want? You only fool?
Starting point is 00:09:21 Yeah. There's more? But it's also a bad since the weekend. So he's trying to get. Then don't hit us up. Why do you? The messages come from one way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:31 You are coming to us. We don't solicit. And then, no, I don't rule my relationship. Well, why don't you mandatste? She wears a pass. So moving forward, do not send his messages if you're not willing to call in because it's ticking me off. And honestly, I mean, at this point, it's probably better.
Starting point is 00:09:46 What? To call in and get over with. And if she breaks up, bro, guess what, you're Scott Free this weekend. Oh, yeah. $240.40. It's all yours. It's all yours. Up 240, baby.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Woo. I'll get you a couple of dances. It's a Manuel kind of weekend. And that's okay because you don't have to disappoint anybody. You go to the cafes that you like to frequent in those scenes. You want to go to Garden Grove this weekend? You want to go get some boba? Chica's bonitas.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Let's do the math. It's a square. What happens in these squares? Can you guys explain please? I've never really got them. I just give money and I'm like, yeah. It's basically like what happens at a certain point, like in the quarter or like a certain score is at that square.
Starting point is 00:10:35 And if it happens to land on your square, then you win that money or something like that. Oh, my God. I did not understand what you said. You know what I do? What I do? I do Cundinas. Well, that's what I do. Explain that one.
Starting point is 00:10:47 What is that? It's one of the worst money saving situations. Oh, with a group of people. Yeah. So it's like, yeah. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Condinas, you know what it is? We got something else.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I forget the name. What do you call? Atanda? A tanda. Yeah. Atanda. Yeah. Tana.
Starting point is 00:11:03 That's the worst. It's like, hey, your number's number two. So here's a thousand dollars. And then next week you got to give it all. And then you give it back for the next nine weeks. It's pointless. It's so pointless. Well, it's just community helping each other.
Starting point is 00:11:17 It's pointless. That's what it is. Okay. Anyways, but that's less of a bet thing. This is more like a bet thing. No. And so for each square costs $10, I'm assuming. And she won because something happened during one of her squares.
Starting point is 00:11:30 She didn't even know, I'm sure, what happened or what. And like Angie said, like, he wouldn't have not said anything. She wouldn't have really known. So he told her, hey, babe, you won? Wait a minute, wait a minute. Angie. So he's being honest and now he's wrong for being honest? Well, now he's being.
Starting point is 00:11:44 No, because that's, be honest. But then don't be mad that she wants the money. Yeah. If you didn't want to be in this situation. But you didn't pay. But you didn't pay. But you didn't pay. But if your intention is this is mine because I paid,
Starting point is 00:11:56 then there shouldn't even even been brought up. Because right now, fools arguing over 240 books that it should belong to him. I think the part that he's probably upset about is her being a brat, like, I'm not going to pay you. Like, what's the $10 to her? You know what I'm saying? Like, it's more of a just like she's just standing on business. Like, I don't want to give you the $10. Give me my money.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Like, that's probably what's pissing him off. Now he's mad. I wish I knew. Yeah, you're being a bully. He didn't win. That's why. That's why he's mad. He could be really player about this and, like, give her the money and the envelope.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Like, oh, like, don't even worry about it. I got you. But happy wife, happy life. But maybe deep down, he hates her. He hates her. I would give her the money. He hates her. Because you don't treat your girl like that unless you have, like, some underlying resettling.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Your baby girl Jordan was like, babe, you'd be like, yeah, that's just a girl. That's my girl. Look at a cute little phase. That's my girl. Money's going to her anyway. What the hell's the point? Yeah, you know, why fight about it. Just give her the money and never invited to a Super Bowl party ever again.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Your wife is like, yeah, I'll take it. Oh, but you pay for a break. Like, duh, you got me. Like, I'm just here. I'm your passenger princess. Yeah. You would understand it. But, like, this guy has a beep with a shit.
Starting point is 00:13:06 I think he hates her. Yeah, he has to. I think so. Look, let me tell you, football squares is a real thing. I get it. And it's serious. Yeah. It's really serious.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I hope all of the 100 people are listening to us so maybe they can follow us up. I've seen food set Chip off of Squares. Hey, homie. That was my square, perron. No, no, no, no. I put my name on it. Are they set tripping because it's confusing? Because even you explaining it didn't make sense to me.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I'm still confused. I don't know if anybody really knows. Let me tell you. Yes. Right. Yes. Antonio, this girl got her man, Antonio mad because she picked the square one, but didn't pay for it. So he took it over.
Starting point is 00:13:42 And now she's like, hey, that's my bread. And he's like, no, it's not. It's mine. All right. Angela, in Van Nuys. Angela, you play squares. Do you know the situation? So I actually played and I helped my husband set up his squares.
Starting point is 00:13:55 So I'm assuming from what he's saying is that because honestly it's a lot of squares. We did 25 squares and it took a while to fill them up. You have to reach out to people. You have to get money. And if you don't sell those squares, you kind of have to like fight the bullet and just like throw your name on it because I mean, you know, you can't go back to people and tell them, hey, you know what? I couldn't figure it out. So can you just here's your money back or whatever? So I'm assuming he did it like a week before because it's a hundred square.
Starting point is 00:14:24 So that's a lot. I think she probably reached out to her. Started like a week before and then he probably reached out in the middle of the week and he was probably like, hey, you know, can you just tell me your money, send me your money? And she probably said, oh, no. And that's when he probably took over that number because he probably couldn't sell it anymore. And that's up. I'm assuming that's how I went.
Starting point is 00:14:44 But honestly, I think they just need to like break up. It just shows they post. Yeah, exactly. She can't be trusted, you're right You said that you do it, they both And honestly, I don't like her Because she's making me agree with the guys And I'm never to agree with the guys
Starting point is 00:14:59 See? She's right Bratty, huh? Angela, you've changed, Angela. Who are you? You have changed. No, but... I have changed a lot. You think they should break up. She don't deserve you.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Yeah, I think they both don't deserve each other Because, you know, if it was really her man, she would have been like, hey, you know what, just take me the dinner, how cool, you know? She won. Like, it wouldn't have been such. Such a, oh, no, you could do it, you could pay me. Yeah, I should have just been, I mean.
Starting point is 00:15:23 No, yeah. Yeah, stop that crazy. Oh, thank you, Angela. Thank you, Angela. Thank you, Angela. I appreciate your taking. You're someone that's played. I also wanted to say, congrats for his movie.
Starting point is 00:15:33 I watched it and I loved it. Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. You're great. I actually fell for your role. I believe everything you said. Oh, thank you. Let's go, guys.
Starting point is 00:15:44 I'm a real actor over here, guys. There you are. I told you. Thank you, Adjana. I appreciate you. I fell for his role too. When he was like, get over here,
Starting point is 00:15:52 about to get shot! Get out about to kill me! Honestly, I couldn't, when I seen a con outside the theater, I didn't want to even, I couldn't even look his way. He disappointed me.
Starting point is 00:16:01 He disappointed me. I was going to ask you doing good, man. No, you were a traitor. I actually helped him out. You have to watch to see how he was a traitor. Yeah, you are. I just wanted to teach him a lesson.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I did. I did. I was being the good, I put that for the law. You hit the cops. You caught the cops. What a snitch. They were just supposed to scare him.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Rigged. Yeah, nice car, though. I did have a nice car. Your own nephew. Your own nephew. Your own nephew. Go watch Clicka, man. He's killing it out here in these streets.
Starting point is 00:16:30 In theaters, okay. Let's go to Reggie and Woodland Hills. We're helping Antonio. Antonio got into some square business, and now him and his girl got a square house. Square business. He handles the squares. She's picked one.
Starting point is 00:16:44 He's all right, give me $10. She didn't give it to him. And probably just like Angela said, he has to go collecting. Yeah. And it's probably very frustrating. To go collecting. And then like,
Starting point is 00:16:55 because if, if no one, if you don't pay for that square, I have to pony up the bread. I get that part. And then so that's how he felt about his girl. That number wins. You should have never just told her.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Like the fact that I got to deal with so many people and then I still got to deal with you. It's your girl. Help me out here, baby. A hundred square? $100? $100? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:14 So it's like, then how you only went $240? It's because you went to the parts. Yeah. I know. I'm so confused. And if you went, you could even win a corner. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:23 What? Just kidding. I don't want to know. Mercedes. Mercedes from Beverly Hills. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:30 What a name. And what a city you're from. Mercedes. Good morning. Brownie. What are Mercedes? Okay. What should Antonio do?
Starting point is 00:17:38 She's driving by. She's driving by. She's driving by. She's driving by. Or give it to his girlfriend who didn't even chip in. You don't pay for a square. You're out of the game. So I don't understand what the issue is.
Starting point is 00:17:53 It's not like he mentioned it once and never said anything. He actually told her, I'm going to claim these squares. And when somebody claims something, they own it. So I really don't understand what the issue is. I mean, she's lucky if he goes out and buys for something with the money that he won. See? She's money. He pays to the squares.
Starting point is 00:18:11 She didn't put nothing in. She's lucky. Yeah. She's lucky to have them. You pay to be in the game. And if you're not paying, then you're not in the game. Pay the cost to be the boss. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:23 And then you're just like a little $10. Like, what? Exactly. Mercedes. Mercedes, how is it living in Beverly Hills and living in Beverly Hills? I'm working in Beverly Hills. I'm from the West Valley. But I work over here.
Starting point is 00:18:39 West Valley's like, you know, Canoga Park. So even fancier. Oh, so still rich. So the fancy part of the valley goes to Beverly Hills. No, I'm also received on Canoga Park. Well, all right. Well, yeah, girl, your man, it's his money, girl. Even the girls are like, you didn't pay.
Starting point is 00:18:57 But she tells it, dog. It's up a principle. See, that's, I know. We're wrong. I think he wants her to know that he's right. Like, that's an important thing to him too. Say, hey, I'm going to give you this money, but you're wrong. You're wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:11 You're wrong. If this is me, my girl, I'm giving her the money. I know. When it comes to Antonio, Stan. Stand your ground level. Do what I can. Do it for all of us that would give it to your girl. Tell us about it.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Because I guarantee you a thousand percent, Vic would also give it to his girl. Absolutely. And you would also give it to your girl. Duh. And Porre would give it to me. Marcus would give it to me too. Yes, all of that.
Starting point is 00:19:35 You would take it from Marcus. Yeah. I use his points all the time. Oh, Marcos. Come on, man. You too. You too. You're right there, too.
Starting point is 00:19:44 No, not at all. Not at all. Nikki's on the line. I am the man of the house. Oh, my God. But even more so, that's your girl, whatever. But I guess, yes, it's your money. Like, logically, it's your money.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Like, figuratively, spiritually. Like, all the Elys, it's your money, bro. But that's your girl. Like, that's just the end of the combo. You can have that money and sleep on the couch. My girl has always said, stand on business, babe. Well, this is the time to shine.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Okay, see how that goes. All right. All right. Well, that was, we helped him. We helped him. Yay. That's the sound of the police. The petty police.
Starting point is 00:20:22 You're petty. You're just petty. I'm being petty. Petty, petty girl. Pretty and a pettiest. Pretty and pettiest. Department of Homeland Security. She wasn't lying when she said those bars.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Pretty and petty? Pretty and petty. A.F. All right. In fact, I'm trying to figure out who's more petty. Our government or La Cardi. Okay? So, Cardi B, clearly she started off her Little Miss Drama tour.
Starting point is 00:20:44 And I just want you to know, government, she has beat with all the rap girls, okay? They can't beat her. She wants all I'm dead. She said that in one of the songs. It started off the album, okay? Cardi B. I don't know. She has friends, I swear to God.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Yeah, she's recorded. Okay? Yeah. But on her start of her tour, her Little Miss Drama tour, she did make a comment before going into, I like it. Yeah. She talked to all the Latinos. Latinos make some noise.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And then used that moment to. Reference ICE. If ice come in here, we're going to joke that a-I-I-I-G-I-Gas. I got some air-maids in the back. They took them off in. Oh, yeah. The crowd went wild for that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:29 The Department of Homeland Security, not so wild. They tweeted, though, because don't let, don't get it twisted. It's not like they're like, how could she? Yeah, no, no, no, it's this regime's Department of Homeland Security. Who is known to make on Twitter at least, whoever runs their Twitter account is known to be super petty at anything and everybody, okay? So they tweeted, as long as she doesn't, how would I even say this censoredly? I know. As long as she doesn't, drug and rob-arge agents will consider that an improvement over her past behavior.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Referencing what Cardi B has mentioned before as her past as a dancer that there was a thing of drugging men and taking their money. Yeah. That movie is also hustlers. Hustlers with J-Lo and Cardi B also references stuff. like that. Wrong, wrong, wrong,
Starting point is 00:22:18 wrong on all accounts. And then Cardi B said, oh, say less, you thought you got me. You thought you got me to shut up. She said,
Starting point is 00:22:28 if we're talking about drugs, let's talk about Epstein and his friends. Damn. Doing that to girls. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Why y'all don't want to talk about the Epstein files? That's how I feel like she was a thing. That was her second life. That's a good comeback. Yeah. It's a great comeback.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yeah. Two petty girls going on any day. I like it. The Department of Homeland Security has not responded to that one. They didn't have anything to say with that way. No further comments. All right. This is nothing to see here.
Starting point is 00:23:00 I'm just going to go ahead and, what's the, just going to go ahead and redact myself. Yes, we got to laugh at the pain of this country. And yeah, that's petty police, you guys. I don't know which was more petty in it, but look, one showed up. Fuck, hell of studio. What's 9 plus 10? Turn your wife?
Starting point is 00:23:20 Look at this studio. Are you having trouble keeping your relationship together, guys? Mm-hmm. Well, I'm here to help you. The 2-2-2 rule is the secret to having a long-term relationship. What is that? The 2-2-2 rule refers to a method for couples to keep the relationship in priority when life gets in the way. The idea is that you go on a date every two weeks.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Mm-hmm. Spend a weekend away together every two months. And take a week vacation together. every two years. I don't do any of that. And I've been together for 50 years. That's crazy. Is that too much?
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah. 2 to 2. Go on a day every two weeks. That's reasonable. That's reasonable. Spend a weekend away together every two months. That's a little excessive. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I think that can be a little like, people are kids and stuff. What do with the kids? You leave them behind. With who? Yeah. It's the whole thing. You're at home.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Lock the doors and leaving up water. To plan a trip takes a while too, like not just two months to get up and go somewhere. No, no, no. Yeah, they take a vacation together every two years. Every two years, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:30 It's like a whole week. Did they say why? Like, well, how this works? Basically, it's, uh, yeah. There's usually like a reasoning. Yeah, there is a reason. And it keeps hope alive. It brings you two together.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It brings unity. clarity. But you understand what I'm saying? Yeah. Like what's the... Yes. The 2-2 rule is scientifically proven by a study of this many hormones. It's not scientifically proving yet.
Starting point is 00:24:58 They're working on it. So it's just a theory. What is your thing saying? Try it. Try it and see what happens. What is your thing say? The point is try it see what happens and come back to me with the report. You're so dumb.
Starting point is 00:25:08 You say you don't even do this study. Like you don't even follow this study. Yes, I do. You don't even... Actually, I actually do the 5-55-5 rule. Okay. What's the 5-5-5-5 rule? I'll tell you tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:25:17 I need to be here. I'll tell you tomorrow. Are you going to be here tomorrow? Yeah. Okay, then you'll know tomorrow. You get $5, okay? Okay. You get five things from the dollar treat.
Starting point is 00:25:30 And there's even a 7-7-7 rule. I'm sure there's all these rules, but what are you? What's the reason you're telling us about the two-season? No, it doesn't matter. Do it. Do it and report back to me. The benefits ensure that work, kids, and chores do not overshadow time with partners. Duh, we should know that. What?
Starting point is 00:25:49 Helps the honeymoon phase alive in a long-term relationship? Yeah, duh. That's automatic. We should know that by now. Dedicated time helps bring bridge gaps and address conflicts. No. Thanks, time. Tell us, yes.
Starting point is 00:26:05 I learned. Stay smart, America. Yeah. Yeah. I learned nothing. Thank you. Hello, studios. Look at this studious house full.
Starting point is 00:26:12 All right, check this out, homie. You need a homie or need some help. We need your head. We need a line. I mean phone line. We got you for. The homie help line. Brina needs our help.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Brena. Brina hit us up and said, What's up, Brown bag? Fam, my name is Brena. I love my man. He's genuinely a good dude. He handles business,
Starting point is 00:26:34 pays the bills, treats me right, no sneaky behavior, no weird energy. He's solid and dependable, and in every other way, our relationship is great. It's great.
Starting point is 00:26:46 It's great. Oh, you know, your baby She did a rush at a big, big setting. You're just like you talk to your girlfriend. How's the relationship? I'm going to be having to wait more. Take it for your show we all.
Starting point is 00:27:00 That was so good. You're doing your whole accent. Stop it. That's all different. I don't know where that came, bro. It's like a baby accent. No, stop it. We have a lot of Asian homies
Starting point is 00:27:13 that listen to us, by the way. Shout us all the Asian homies. What's had. I was at the YMCA. I was at the YMCA from my kids' basketball game and this guy, Johnson and Lily, cute little family
Starting point is 00:27:26 who were like, hey, we listen to you every morning. I was like, oh, thanks. The Asian homies on tripping, you know why? A wangton. Come on, that was good. That's a bar.
Starting point is 00:27:38 We had to explain it. A wanda means, like, they put up with it in Spanish, but it sounds like he's saying, a wonton. A wonton. I'm sorry, yeah. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Shout out, Jason. Don't apologize for greatness. No, you mean, you mean, you mean, greatness. Greatness. Greatness. Move along. Keep going to get it right. In every other way, our relationship is great.
Starting point is 00:28:01 The only issue, he is not romantic at all, and it hurts. Valentine's Day comes and goes with no flowers, no gift, no effort to make it feel special. Just dinner at a place we always go to. I know people say every day. should be Valentine's Day and I agree but this is the one day meant to make your partner feel extra loved and chosen. I want to feel
Starting point is 00:28:25 special that way. I know he loves me and shows it in other ways but it's not how I receive love. I've tried bringing it up but it turns into him feeling like what he does is never enough. Do I just accept he's not romantic and plan Valentine's Day myself or is this a sign we aren't going to work out? gonna walk out
Starting point is 00:28:46 walk out all right fulls explain yourselves he's over you it's never enough huh I mean
Starting point is 00:28:58 for Valentine's Day you could do something simple and she's gonna appreciate it but this who's not doing anything yeah romantic romantic is it matters you could do something as simple as flowers
Starting point is 00:29:09 a written letter yeah yeah that's personal but what girls got to understand is like when you're romantic you're being vulnerable. Like you got to like. It's your girl.
Starting point is 00:29:19 No, but no, but you are. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I'm saying a lot of people, a lot of men don't feel comfortable to do that. If you write a letter, you have to spew your feelings.
Starting point is 00:29:27 You know what I'm saying? That's so dumb. No, if you... It's used to my eyes. It's true. It's not. You don't have to do that.
Starting point is 00:29:32 You can buy her other things. Like the flowers don't make you vulnerable. No, it doesn't. But what if she hates them? She didn't say she hates them. No, I'm saying. She says you don't have them. I'm just saying overall as a man, like, whatever you get, what if it's not good enough?
Starting point is 00:29:43 What if she doesn't like it? You open yourself up to that. Maybe she's ungrateful. No. No, but so get nothing? It's not getting nothing. It's just that it makes a lot of guys nervous. It puts pressure on them.
Starting point is 00:29:54 They're just like, damn, like, I better get this right. Because if not, I'm cooked. It seems like she's told him. She said that she brought it up, right? What if he doesn't know where to start? Like, you know what I'm saying? Simple flowers. That's it.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Flowers gets you a long way. It does. It seems like. What if they're the wrong one? That's weird. It seems like she's opened up to him and told him. Yes. Like, hey, this is kind of what I need.
Starting point is 00:30:18 This is kind of what I would like. This is how I receive love. And he's just like, oh, no, I want to do this. He's at the store. He's at the store flipping out. Like, oh, what do I get? What if it's the wrong ones? Do you want the $80 flowers or the $120 flowers?
Starting point is 00:30:30 I don't know what's the difference. There's not really much of a difference. You're just like, oh! You got through it. Are you? I know, Kavik? Yeah, it's a lot of pressure. You know, there's a difference between something and actually nothing.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah, but like so or even explain like I didn't know what to get Bays, I didn't get anything and then let her tell you. I think this is this weird thing where like you're not trying to be vulnerable in front of your partner. Like that's who you should be vulnerable with. And if you can't, then that's your sign. That person's not for you. Like that's your number one sign. If you cannot be, I'm sure you can tell your partner something that you won't tell other people.
Starting point is 00:31:04 And they got you. If that's not what you feel, that should be your number one sign. Guys get me though. Guys are out there like, I feel this. fool right now. They feel like it's a lot. It just, it's a, it opens yourself up to rejection. Yeah. But how can you But that's a lady. Of course,
Starting point is 00:31:18 you can still get rejected by your girl. How? In any way like, oh, like, I got this for you. Oh, I don't like that. You know what I'm saying? It's a whole bunch of things. Well, at least let that happen. Oh, okay. Because it hasn't even happened, it seems like. But then it's going to be. It's going to make him not on a day. Are you him? Are you him? Are you him? No, no. No, I'm
Starting point is 00:31:34 so romantic. You guys don't even know. Yeah. I said sarcastic. The thing about me. The thing about Men is that you can't make them do things they don't want to do. True. And when men find the right girl, they will do anything for that girl. And Brena, you're not her. That's what she's asking.
Starting point is 00:31:57 That's what she's asking. And I think that's what we're at. Does this mean that it's not for me? You know, like I've told him, I've owed it up to him about what I want. And like it just still doesn't seem to be something that he does for me. And if that's how you receive. And guess what, Brena? There's a fool that's ready to do that for you.
Starting point is 00:32:13 But she says he's perfect, that he does everything perfect but that. But I'm going to tell you right now, that can build resentment. That can build resentment, period, the exchange of love. The how you receive and exchange love. If you're a, you know, the love languages, bro. Yeah, she even brought that up. Even you or like, for example, like just, I don't know why I know too much about your past relationships. But you know how you always get foot rubs.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Yeah. That equals love to you. It is. That your significant other doing you foot rubs makes you feel love. Imagine you have the girl. She's perfect. She don't rub your feet. you would feel like damn she's perfect but she don't run my feet and these other girls did or this
Starting point is 00:32:45 other woman did but this one's perfect so I should just put up with it yeah it just builds it could build resentment I mean she is saying that she's kicking her in her her face from them right she is saying that she had he he had those bills treat me right no sneaky behavior no weird energy solid and dependable that's what I'm saying it's like Honda accord to me is one day gonna so so what would she rather a guy that doesn't and do any of those things, but it's super romantic. Like, it's, like, awesome, like, in that department? Yeah, and it's only one day of the year.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Is that what she rather have? I would personally, clearly no one would rather have that. Clearly no one would rather have that. But I think it's, like, an invalidating thing to be, like, put up with it because it could be worse, girl. Like, there's part of it that we could just validate the feelings. Like, dang, I get it. That's how you receive love.
Starting point is 00:33:30 But then at the coin flip, too, guys, like, he's doing all these things, 365 days a year. Can you judge a man's character by one day? Wow. Come on. That's why I would wonder how does he treat her other days? Is he romantic other? Because it just seems like he's not romantic, period. Every other day, he's not romantic.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Yeah. Yeah. So I would ask, it says he's not romantic at all. So, like, what did he do for, what is it called? Birthday or, like, what you might call? Christmas. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I mean, romance is. It's very important. Yeah. Yeah, it is. How should Breena handle it? Her man is not romantic. And she's kind of feeling like, stress like, dang, should I just like figure it out and like put my feelings aside at this
Starting point is 00:34:13 point? Or is this a sign that he's not for me? A couple of you said, for the right one, he'd be that way. I hate y'all when you're like that. It's true. But that's just, that's just, but that's like people that say they don't want kids and then they get with the next girl and they have it. Oh, yeah. Bro. They get over to eat it. Yeah. No, that's a real thing. That's a real thing. No, like the romantic, I was never romantic ever in my life. Now, But for the right one. Yeah, non-romantic. You got tatted.
Starting point is 00:34:41 You never get a tattet. That is it. Never get a tattoo. I'll never get a tattoo. Yeah, that's huge. But a mural? All the past ones are like, he's a liar. He's a liar.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Yeah. Yeah. He's like, he never would do that for me. He told me he would never put anything on his body. My body's the 10. Not anymore. And it might be a harsh truth, but it might be the truth. But Alexa, what would you tell Brena?
Starting point is 00:35:04 Honestly, it doesn't even have to be romantic. But if that's what she wants. wants and he doesn't want that. I think it needs to be brought up. And if it can't be settled in a evenly manner, then honestly, I think you should find somebody who's going to fit your standards. Wow.
Starting point is 00:35:20 If that's your standard, that's your, and it's probably dumb of a standard to some people, but if that's your standard, is what it is. Some of y'all standards, like, you've got to be packing.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Yeah. The guy's perfect. If he's not romantic, that's okay. You can spend, like, quality time or whatnot. It doesn't have to be, like, sexual, you know?
Starting point is 00:35:37 It can be something just, like quality time. It doesn't have to be anything bad or fancy. A movie would even be nice. You don't have to spend money. Right. A rose doesn't mean nothing without the thought or the heart, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Yeah, go watch a movie. One of the most romantic movies out right now. Calica. Calica. Calica. Cleka. Des and Irvine. Des, what's up, Des.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Call me, good morning. Des, Breedon needs our help. She is going to go into Valentine's Day and just has hurt feelings because her man's not romantic, but she's kind of trying to figure out, do I just buckle up and just do this all myself, like the Valentine's preparations, the romance, all of that, or is this a sign where we shouldn't be together?
Starting point is 00:36:21 What would you tell her? I kind of think she should plan it together just because not all men are mind readers. So she should tell him. None are mind readers. Literally none of them are. Yeah, we said not all of them. I don't need to be told what women want.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Yeah. So like this year, my husband, I told them I want to go out to eat and we're into one piece trading cards. So we're going to go to card shops and just spend quality time looking for a certain thing. How old are you? So cool. Let them. My son loves one piece. We grew up on Pokemon, okay? Okay. It's okay. My sister's into it. Are you Asian? Yeah. No. I'm in my 30s, okay? I'm in my 30s. I get it. I see the vision. All right, I guess. I also
Starting point is 00:37:07 want to add to what we started doing in our relationship is he gets his own Valentine's Day too. What do you mean? So that, like, I want to show him how much I appreciate him and I also want to show him my love. So I tell him to tell me what restaurant
Starting point is 00:37:23 you want to go to and like, give me a couple ideas of some gifts that you want. He's like, I want to go dames and games. Sam's half a brother. Do you dress up like Pikachu? No. Have you guys ever dressed up?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Teen Rocky. What, like furry stuff? No, no, no, no, no. If he bought me a Snorlax one'sie for one of my gifts, I don't know if it was like Christmas. He wants to put you in a sweet girl. What? Norelax is my spirit animal. He sleeps and eat all day.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Like, what girl doesn't want that? Yeah? All of them. You're so wholesome. You're so wholesome. You're such a cutie pot. I like that you found that. And see, like I guess she understands.
Starting point is 00:38:07 If I want him to be romantic to me, I'd be romantic to him. Yeah. You know? Yes. Like you were mentioning. We want that too, man. We want to be woo too. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:38:17 We want Pokemon cards too, right? One piece, you know. Let's go to Cynthia in San Fernando. What's up, Cynthia? Big Cynthia. Hi, good morning. Hey, sit here. Talk like a real San Fernando Valley, girl.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Okay, what are you doing? Sorry, guys. I'm taking my daughter to school. Oh, okay. I lost my voice. So I sound a little off. No, you sound amazing. Do you use your voice for work?
Starting point is 00:38:42 Yeah. I thought it's kind of hot. Cynthia. No, I don't. I mean, I'm on the phone with them, but I don't use my voice for work. I actually, we love you guys. I just want to say my daughter and I listen to you guys every morning when we're driving to school. Oh, hi, daughter.
Starting point is 00:38:57 We're blushing. I feel like he's flirting with all of us. Everything here is blushing right now. Cynthia. Cynthia. Mona, too. What do you want to tell her, I think that she really needs to sit with herself
Starting point is 00:39:11 and understand if this is a priority for her in the relationship, because in a relationship, because, like David said, like either a guy is going to do these things for you or he's not. You could be patient and you can try it out, but when you end up having to play both roles, when you end up having to plan all these romantic things or, you know, all those little things
Starting point is 00:39:32 what happens over time, unfortunately, really is you become resentful, you become frustrated in it, and it ends up creating a person that you don't want to be. So it's kind of like she doesn't need to stand on business on it. Like either it's important to you and you're going to find a partner who will do those things because I promise you, y'all, though he's a great guy and he checks off all your boxes, I promise you a guy will do the roses, the trips, the days. A guy will do that for you. So either you decide this is what I want and I'm going to find that or you stay and accept that that's not going to happen. Because you said it in your voice or what you said, but you get whatever she wants right now.
Starting point is 00:40:19 That's what San Fernando puts out right there. Intellectual. Intellectual. That's what Sanferranda produces, right, Mona? She could say whatever. I'd like, yes. Yes. We love you guys.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Thank you guys so much for the time. Don't say that. Call any time. Thank you. Thank you for a good time. I hope you get whatever you want. I'm sure you do. Let's stop. That's so crazy.
