Brown Bag Mornings - Ep. 660 (Full Episode) He's Basically Like a- Reliable Sedan??? 🚗 | Brown Bag Mornings (02/16/26)
Episode Date: February 16, 2026The 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Well, there's money.
Great start.
Tell the studios.
What's nine plus 10?
Look at this studious food.
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.
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?
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?
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.
No, dog.
Dog.
D-O-L-L.
I heard dog.
No.
And here,
you're saying,
you're thinking.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.
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.
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?
Square.
10 bucks.
No, no.
$10?
$2.40.
The $240?
The $240 you want?
You only fool?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I forget the name.
What do you call?
Atanda?
A tanda.
Yeah.
Atanda.
Yeah.
Tana.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
What?
Just kidding.
I don't want to know.
Mercedes.
Mercedes from Beverly Hills.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
What a name.
And what a city you're from.
Mercedes.
Good morning.
Brownie.
What are Mercedes?
Okay.
What should Antonio do?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
if we're talking about drugs,
let's talk about Epstein
and his friends.
Damn.
Doing that to girls.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
I learned.
Stay smart, America.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I learned nothing.
Thank you.
Hello, studios.
Look at this studious house full.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
walk out
all right
fulls
explain yourselves
he's over you
it's never enough
huh
I mean
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
