So shout out to you, and it's really dope. They will all be there. Oh, you're a TSA worker? Yeah, I used to be 13 years, but I work for a different agency now.

Well, salute to all the TSA workers, and hopefully they can enjoy that week that American Dream is doing for. for the TSA agents to give them a little stress reliever with their family and stuff. I just think it's dope just to give back. What you got playing for your B day?
Starting point is 00:03:37 I have a lot of things to say. I have a lady's night plan. My boyfriend told me today just come home from work to get dressed. I'm going to work because I'm going to work and get dressed and we're going to go and out. That's all the information you give it. You're going to work because you got your little work husband. You want to see what he going to get you for your birthday. That's why you're going to work today.
Starting point is 00:03:54 I love that. I love that she loved her job. You hear this little laugh. That's why I said you don't deserve happiness. You see what I'm saying? You're a clown. You're supposed to get on business on that. You're going to say sorry because it's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:04:05 I don't know. Happy born day. Happy birthday. I wish you the best today. Enjoy your day. Absolutely. Happy birthday. I love you guys.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I love you guys. Hello, who's this? This is Todd. Call me in Cleveland, Ohio. What's up? Dog, law. Can it go off your chest. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:24 So this is what I wanted to get off my chest today. So it's public law now that if you had a child, child that's born in this country last year. And if you have one that's born all the way up to the year of date of December 31st, 2028, there's $1,000 available to that child through that parent's filing of their income tax. Or if you're an adoption of foster care system, the government takes care before you. And it goes into an index fund that that child can claim at 18 years old to do with what they want. And the reason why I'm bringing it up today is not just because it's public law,
Starting point is 00:05:03 but because this is our route as African-American to make the strongest case than we can now to get government money for children of African-American descent and our direct descendants of parents from the slave trade. And I think we should lift this out here right now for people to really jump on it. Inside the population, about 3.5 million babies that were born in this. this country last year is about 500,000 African-American babies that were born last here in this country. And inside that population is an unknown population to me, but I know it's large, of babies that have parents who are parents or parents' parents' parents that were slaves in this
Starting point is 00:05:47 country. And it seems reasonable to me that we can make this push to say, hey, yeah, give them a thousand, but give our people an additional four as a start for parents. us back for this slave trade. So he gave them the best name. Todd Dog Law. Yes. All right. Thank you, man.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Thank you for that knowledge. I'm going to be completely honest with you. Don't do it. Don't do it. It's Friday. It's Friday and I woke up this morning and I meditated for 10 minutes. And y'all don't wind me back up.
Starting point is 00:06:16 It's too much going on this morning. I mean, it's just too much. This is Black History. I get it. But God damn. It's too much. And I know this get it off your chest. But Lord have mercy.

I would just like to know if I can get a picture up all through y'all together. How are you going to do that? I'm just saying, can y'all send me one, you know what I can put in my man cave?

Starting point is 00:10:36 Now when I say, I believe her. You all I got to go to. Yeah, yeah. Play too much. All right. Let's listen to the call. So I have a girlfriend that I've been with for a year and a half. We live together.
Starting point is 00:10:47 We got a cat. You know, real lesbian. Yes. Yes. Okay. Three cats in the house. Talk to us. So she's a nurse
Starting point is 00:10:55 She's telling me a few months ago She started getting close with some girl at work The girl is her work wife I tell her to nip it in the bus She don't do it Then I go through her phone on Christmas Day I see her texting with the girl
Starting point is 00:11:10 And the girl's talking like What you're wearing I can't wait to see you type Today we had a big fight She turned her location off And she left the crib I got her through her ear My dog.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Wow. She has the Shorty's house. Yo, damn. Crazy. I pulled up to the crib. I said, come outside. She said, you in the wrong place. I'm not here.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I knock on the front door. I'm not here. They told me they're going to pull the top, and I'm like, nah, f*** you know. All right. So we're asking 800-585-105-1. Do you mind if your significant other has a house? I said a house.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Workwife. Work-husband. No, I want the record to show. What? A normal show would have just said, do you mind if you're a significant other has a work wife or work husband? Actually, the stud lesbian aspect of it has nothing to do with any of us.
Starting point is 00:12:01 But that's what the conversation is starting from. But that's really good conversation. It really has nothing to do with. It really is. I like that call. And that's an interesting story, too. It was an interesting story. But that's where the call came from.
Starting point is 00:12:12 She said she doesn't want her wife to have her girlfriend to have that. Yeah. So let's start with you. Would you mind if Chris had a work wife? Yes. I absolutely would mind. Like, I don't think the label is going too far when you see wife and husband. Why you just can't have a work friend, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:12:29 Or a coworker that you're really cool with. Like, why does it have to be? Why does the term have to be workwife or wife or husband? I don't think it's appropriate. I don't like it. Now, a lot of times it is platonic, you know what I mean? But a lot of times it's not. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:42 So, and you never know. I want you. Nah, neither we all friends or we have friends. Yeah, yeah. Like, no. Uh-uh. Salome? Yeah, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:12:50 I don't like the term. Like just said, like you shouldn't be calling nobody else your husband. You shouldn't be calling nobody else your wife. You know, those are like sacred titles. You know what I mean? Those are titles that you earn. And, you know, you can't just be calling nobody your work husband, work wife. And to me, like, it's set, it applies other connotations.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like, why does that got to be your work husband? Yeah. I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that turn. That was funny, me and NB do it.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Yeah. I'd be like, that's my work husband. But that's just as a joke. Exactly. And then y'all wives. know each other you know y'all wives no he played too much though he's like he played with me outside
Starting point is 00:13:27 when we're still playing I don't want to play well that's because the streets no the streets know the streets know you my work bottom you're actually my work bottom bitch that the way I look at what what's he far see you go too far hello who's this hey R from Brooklyn
Starting point is 00:13:45 J.R from Brooklyn what's up talk to us Jail what's your thoughts what's going on my thoughts is ain't no work wise ain't no work husbands, you know what I mean? Because, you know, soon as you get a little attitude with me, she go to work, talk about, you know, oh, he's not doing me right next to you.
Starting point is 00:13:59 You know. A little one day where I clicked on one video and then I just went down a whole thing of videos where it's these girls talking about this is how you take care of your friend. And it's like girls giving guys $1.000. Oh, hell no, man.
Starting point is 00:14:13 That's what I'm saying. It's like, but just... He's got to work from home. If you're working from home, she can't rock with me. Matter of fact, Amazon got to leave a package. get you on the steps. Don't even ring the bell. Damn. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:14:26 Hey, this Nardo. Can't have. That awesome towards, man. Nardo, what's up? Talk to us. What's your thoughts? Hey, man. Good morning to y'all, man. I listen to y'all in the morning. I want to start that out. Thank you, brother. Yeah, sir. But, yeah, I think these days now, being in a relationship, when you with a person and they had a job side and they see this work full nine, 10, 12 hours out of the day, you know, they tend to go on lunch,
Starting point is 00:14:52 state, and, you know, that's going to happen. And I think, you know, you just got to either accept it or leave it. Because really, that's what goes on. Do you have a workwife, bro? No, I try a truck, brother. I just started my own business, Cullivoolittlewood Express, man. Okay. You got to work a lot, Lizard?
Starting point is 00:15:12 No, no. No. I know. I know. I heard that laugh. Hey, most definitely don't. Is that one rest stop on the route you be going, do you got some man?
Starting point is 00:15:24 You'll leave that man alone. Goodbye, I know, I don't. He's a dope. Hello, who's this? Don't Dion. Dion, what's up, brother? Talk to us. What's your thoughts?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Good morning. First of all of y'all, everything y'all do. I think y'all are amazing. Thank you, man. Thank you, sir. We appreciate you, man. Thank you. But another thing, I think the girl was insane for telling her girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:15:45 She got to work life. Yeah. I think that you got to keep that to yourself. I've had plenty of workwives that didn't lead to nothing at all. But I ain't like I told my grader. Like, I just kept it to me. We just getting coffee and doing stuff like that. We ain't doing nothing crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Now, that's the thing. The reason why I thought it was, it wasn't crazy that she told her girlfriend that she had a workwife. What made her crazy is that you really effing with your workwife. Like, y'all getting intimate, y'all, y'all, y'all flirting and dealing with each other. She went in the phone, saw messages, and she was cheating.
Starting point is 00:16:14 She was cheating on her girlfriend with her workwife. That's where it went wrong. You got crazy. That's a whole other conversation. I was working with workwife specifically. Hey, you know what I'm saying? Now, you're all saying that. You can't ever watch for that. I can't ever go.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Now, Dion, answer the real way, right? Have you ever flirted with your workwife? I mean, of course. That's why it's my workwife. But it ain't up to happen. No, but see, you shouldn't be flirting. You know your wife would not allow you to be flirting. Would you tell your wife he was flirting with your work wife?
Starting point is 00:16:43 Of course not. Okay. That's why you don't say nothing. That's why you don't say that. No, you don't, listen. My rule is you don't do nothing. You can't tell your wife about it. You can't tell your wife about it.
Starting point is 00:16:54 You know you ain't got no business doing it. Now, if you're just joining us, this conversation actually came from a woman who called yesterday during Get It Off Your Chess. Let's listen to the call. So I have a girlfriend that I've been with for a year and a half. We live together. We got a cat.
Starting point is 00:17:08 You know, real lesbian. Yes, yes. Three cats in the house. Talk to us. So she's a nurse. She's telling me a few months ago. She started getting close with some girl I have worked. the girl is her workwife.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I tell her to nip it in the bud. She don't do it. Then I go through her phone on Christmas Day. I see her texting with the girl and the girl's talking like, what you're wearing, I can't wait to see you type shit. Today we had a big fight. She turned her location off and she left the crib.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I drag her through her earpods, my dude. Wow. He has the Shorty's house. Yo. Damn. Crazy. I pulled up to the crib. I said, come outside.
Starting point is 00:17:52 She said, you in the wrong place. I'm not here. I knock on the front door. I'm not here. They told me they're going to call the top, and I'm like, nah, fuck y'all, you know. So we're asking 800, 585105.1. Do you mind if your certificate of that has a work husband or workwife? Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Hey, this, juicy. Hey, juicy. She definitely somebody's a wife. You fat? I'm, I'm, I'm, yeah, I got called plenty fat bitch. before so I guess you could say that. How tall are you? Oh, my goodness.

Starting point is 00:18:37 I'm sorry, Juci. Are you somebody's workwife? She is. Oh, I'm somebody who caught my work wife. Happy, I want to say. Yeah. So my husband, work somewhere, right?
Starting point is 00:18:50 We used to work together, I quit. So I found, like, some placements that didn't work out. So, you know, because I know, like, I know how the work wife and stuff is. My husband was on drive. I was taking him to work. And at the same time, I was taking him to work.
Starting point is 00:19:07 The work wife, she got a husband, too. But I didn't know this at the time, because she just started. So when I was leaving, I see her, I see her husband. husband, like me mugging the mess out of my mind. So I wanted to be like, what's up? Why are you looking at him like that?
Starting point is 00:19:27 Like, because, like, it was something that didn't sit right with me. So I made a mental note of it. So the next time I went, it was, she went with her husband, but she was by herself. So she was looking at my car, my through, I got real dark shit. So you can't see in there. I can see her. She can't see me.
Starting point is 00:19:47 So she's just looking ugly a tail That's like, damn stuff Hold on now, what kind of car do you have, first of all What kind of car do you have? It was big. It's a truck. I'm running good. It's a BMW. It's a, uh, with 10 and windows.

Starting point is 00:20:10 It's a truck. Okay, okay, got you. He wanted to make sure it wasn't the one series. Go ahead. Go. So, uh, okay. So, long story short, fast forward.
Starting point is 00:20:18 The way she looked at me, I said, oh, I said, let me go through this phone because I, I go through the phone like maybe every six or seven months depending on how I feel. Like, I just go through the phone. I normally don't be fine or nothing. But, so I go right to her. Is this the same, I call it the same day? Only thing I'm mad because I want to see how far I was going to go. Because I feel like I stopped it because I crashed out lightweight because when I went
Starting point is 00:20:44 through the phone and went to their messages. First, it was like regular little work stuff. So then I started saying emo. He kind of corny, so I know that's his way of flirting. So, like, but he don't talk a lot. So, uh, so she's going to send a picture. She's in three pictures and they, and they was like
Starting point is 00:21:02 sexy pictures, but she's weak. She, she, she, they would make some sexy pictures, something about some, uh, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, I need to tell you something. that they don't tell you at dinner. Stop. Well, you're going too long.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Could you get to the point, please? I can't make a long story short. And you said you're going to make a long story short and you keep going. Okay, so, okay, so I tried to. She don't work there no more. I beat the shit out of him out of his sleep because I told him to do this. I told him to do this. The thing was he tried to be sneaking and ain't tell me like, oh, he ain't tell me,
Starting point is 00:21:40 you know what I caught. If he would have been like, oh, man, now she's buying back on what you told me to All the reason I told him to flirt with her so she can work for him and he don't have to, so he can still be on the clock. I don't like any of this. You opened up the door. You know what I mean? And I don't know why you opened up Pandora's box like that. I do not know why you did that.
Starting point is 00:21:59 That's her husband. She sent something. But you're going to beat him up or telling him to do something that you told him to do? He flirted. Then she said he went too far and then you beat him up. What size was the girl? Man, I'm old enough to be her mom. And that's her thing.
Starting point is 00:22:13 She's like, ain't two 50, bitch? But if we stand next to each other, you will be trying to figure out who 50. Like, you know, she starts. My thing is that he didn't tell me what she did. Like, I expect everything that she did that she was going to do. Okay. But I had to go through the phone and find that he said he was lying about it. Betty, like, no.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Like, what is you lying for? I don't know. I don't lie. I don't, because you just is messy, too. You called the lie to this mess. you told that man to flirt with that woman, and there's no limit to flirting. Did you say, did you give him a limit?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Right, but he was supposed to tell. Yeah, the limit was, like, if she bite back, you let me know. Like, uh, and then, when he didn't, and then when I asked him, like, I tried to wake him up, but he, I tried to wake him up, but he tried to fake sleep when I had that phone in his face.

Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief

Tell me, Sophia, how did she even catch them? One Amazon shopping receipt.
Starting point is 00:25:24 He accidentally sent her a photo of the kids' Christmas gifts with a delivery to another woman at the bottom. He exposed himself? That's a rookie move. Couples, massages, monogrammed bath robes, and lingerie he then-mowed her for. So she spent four weeks gathering evidence. and taped a 10-page letter inside his luggage before he flew out. In his luggage, she came to play.
Starting point is 00:25:47 And the second he landed, he blocked her. So she called the hotel room directly and got the mistress on the phone. Ooh, she got the mistress live on the phone? That is a bold move. Let's see if it pays off. Then it gets worse. He took the mistress on the Bahamas honeymoon trip he had planned with his wife. And then the mistress tagged him on Facebook,
Starting point is 00:26:05 outing the fair to her entire family. That's like a whole public confession. And spoiler, two years. later, karma hits him so hard.

Yeah, I need to know about this.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Okay. I don't know where the number's 60. I really got to figure that out. And I could actually have over 60. I just need to really know that number. There have been plenty of sheep in my bed. It's a big bed. In the bed.

Starting point is 00:27:25 Hello, good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just Helarius. Salameenigai. We are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. And first of all, make sure the door is locked. And I'm glad that her phone is in here because she can't use her phone to get in the room. So make sure the door is locked.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Correct. Jess O'Laris can't get in. We got our guy, Rome. Rome here. Who is Jess's baby's father. That's right. Ash's dad. The father of Ashton's dad.
Starting point is 00:27:48 And, you know, Jess put out her new book this week, tell death do we parent. It's available everywhere you buy books now. And it talks about how they got to a healthy place of co-parenting with each other. That's right. And I haven't even talked to Rome. I ain't reached out to Rome. I wanted to talk to Rome face to face. Rome, what did you think of the book?
Starting point is 00:28:04 Word. Tell death do we parent. What was your first film? First film. Honest. Honest. Honest. When you read the book.
Starting point is 00:28:10 First chapter. I feel like some things wasn't explained the correct way. We're not supposed to let her in. Yeah, you're supposed to let her in. You're supposed to keep her out for a little bit. Okay, let her talk. Rome has the floor. Rome has the floor.
Starting point is 00:28:24 You can sit down, Jess. Unless you want to leave. You can also leap. Okay, yes. Yeah, I'm a leave. All right. You can leave. You can leave.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Okay. We just asked the first question. All right. It's too late. It's too late. It's too late. Now, back to what you're saying. the book to a death
Starting point is 00:28:40 after we're praying. You said first chapter. He was saying it was cap. Really? Honestly, not even cap. I just think after women read it, they're going to hate me. Mm.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Mm. And why? Because, of course, no man can't go through that. But when women are going through like postpartum, those stages and stuff like that, if you read this,
Starting point is 00:28:57 the first chapter, it's going to be like I was a dog. Like, I did everything going those times when I did it. So you weren't a dog? No, I feel like she fabricated it for us putting it to earth. It was late. It was later than that. I didn't do any of that going postpartum.
Starting point is 00:29:14 But it was a dope book. Interesting. Very transparent. To see that we've grown so much. And to share other, to share with other people on, you know, that co-pranctions is not a bad thing. I think that that's the biggest part in the goal that we always talked about. And that was for years, even when we started co-currentia therapy back in. It was COVID. So I want to say, like, 20, 21. when we were shutting out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Yeah, man, the book is, yeah. But see, that's what I got from the book. That's what I say. I don't think people will hate you if they read past the first chapter. You know what I mean? Because you do get to the growth in the evolution of both of you. You know what I mean? Not just you.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Both of you are. Yeah. And but you got some people who ain't going to read. That's right, right. They're going to pinpoint and take out parts and they're going to run with certain narrative. Go see the captions and highlights. The same way they do clips on Instagram or TikTok, whatever the case may be. It hate you are.
Starting point is 00:30:08 a clip and didn't even let you elaborate or explain yourself. What you have to hurt your feelings the most? And don't lie, because I know you read it more than one time. What chapter? Why was it? None of really hurt me because I own up with what I do. I ain't never been ashamed to anything. I'm tell you why, because I always had a choice.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I decided to make those choices. But what was hot woman to me was that she's able to talk about it now. Because a lot of times she wouldn't ever open up about it. And just to share that light on how much I've grown as a man, And as a father, I just was, you know, apart. I was, not even apart. I was really, yeah, I was, I was just excited, man. I really was excited.
Starting point is 00:30:46 You could tell she has a lot of love for you regardless, you know, a lot of love. Yeah, love is always there. I'm just excited because if anybody who really know me truly and genuinely know me, that's my dog. How did you feel when, you know, she recently, excerpts came out of the book, and she talked about not necessarily wanting your first child, but wanted to keep you more than anything. So to make you happy she was willing to do anything for you. How did that make you fit?
Starting point is 00:31:12 As a father of five now, I understand. And I say that because even when I go back to her and I'll be like, if you're going to leave me alone, don't go get another me. It's one of those things where, okay, well, if you're having a child, make sure that you know that this is going to be a family. And I never wanted a lot of kids. I always wanted a family. But, you know, I was emotional.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I would say dumb, not thinking, vulnerable in those moments, even as a kid. I think, I don't know, I think it just shaped her to be the wife that she is now. Do you look back at it and say, I messed this family up because she talks about, she thought that y'all had a perfect family. Y'all were taking pictures and y'all were doing things as a family and a couple. And all of a sudden she got a comment that says, Rome, oh, he here with you, but he played a house on this other house. And matter of fact, he got a baby coming.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Did you ever look back that and be like, damn, I effed that up? I look back sometimes and say, I wish I did things different. I ain't never going to say I wish I f***ed it up because who knows if I wouldn't have did what I did then we still would have been together because it goes both ways and a lot of things that I've done it was out of reaction. You know, it's three sides of every story. That side, your side and the truth. Me, I just wasn't that heartless to just go out and do these things.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I didn't even have access to it. So that's why we're going to dive deeper into those things. But I wouldn't say I f***ed up. I would say. I just wish I did things different. Just to give us a chance, because I never even gave us a chance. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:32:42 That's a great question and just a great framing of it. Like, if there were no kid involved, right? If there was no Ashton, would y'all still choose each other? You think? At that moment? Yeah. No. Why?
Starting point is 00:32:55 Because Ashton was the glue. Ashton was the one that kept it around. And me, I'm low tolerance. And Jessica speaks on that. She'll speak again on it. We spoke on that on the podcast when women don't do. And it might sound controlling, it might sound like I'm a narcissist,
Starting point is 00:33:10 you know, at that moment, not now because I'm a change man, you know. At that moment, it may sound like I'm being controlling. But I felt like at the time, younger days, if women wasn't in my, if they weren't in compliance, it wasn't no benefit to me. So just just walk back in the room. I want to expound on the question I just asked you.
Starting point is 00:33:32 What was it about just, that would make you not want to be with her if there was no accident? Because he said he wouldn't be with you if it wasn't asked. At that moment, at that moment, like I said, I'm going to repeat, at that moment we was children. So it wasn't really nothing to be with our own, especially after all the things I did. And I say that to say at that time, of course, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:52 a lot of men live with women for convenience and stuff like that. I didn't need any of that. I'm living at home, my step-mom. So if there's no child, we'd have went out separate ways. Because it was easy to go separate ways for no time. it's easy to go separate ways when you're not married. Marriage and children is the tie on, okay, let's see. Because you don't really want to start over.
Starting point is 00:34:15 It's hard starting. Not even hard, just too much time. You've got to be lying a person, and then you don't even know if that person will be the person for you. So it takes time. Now, you said it was reactional, the fact that, you know, you cheated. Was it reactional because you didn't want to be in a family at the time or you didn't want to be tied down,
Starting point is 00:34:32 or was her, this was, you know, what was reactional? No, just did. Yeah, okay. Now let's get to it. Oh, Charlemagne. What? Yeah, just did, just did things. And it's some things I said I would never speak on.
Starting point is 00:34:46 I'm taking that to the grade with me. Because, yeah. That's why you believed that might not be yours at one point? No, I never, I never, I never believed that. Oh. I've seen him, he was mine through the sonogram. I'm talking about it. At the moment, at the moment, at the moment, no.
Starting point is 00:35:00 I never really even believed it. It was more so I was upset because of the heat of the moment, bud. Oh, you just said that this. To piss off. Okay, okay. I said that to piss him off. I'm emotional. Damn, Jess?
Starting point is 00:35:12 Yeah. I know. I was upset. You told him that. It might not be his. But she, and I read that four or five times again on the train of day. That would be a particular part, right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:22 How did the feel when she said that to you? Of course, you know, I was a man, you hurt in the moment. You, you, oh, and mind you, you're shamed in my face, so I think it wouldn't different if she was in my face. She's in my face. That, but. I didn't I never thought Ashen was wasn't mine I just think she of all people at that moment even now know how to get under my skin there's only two things that really bother me my children and my mom it ain't really nothing else you can really say to me that were really moving we're still kicking it with Rome Rome is Jess's baby daddy you know Jess just did the new book till death do we parent and we're talking to Rome why didn't you fight for the relationship after you know Jess was like it's over you know you had another baby on the way Let's clear that up.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Okay. It was over before I had a baby on the way, Jessica. I know wrong. I just, it was trying to, like, be with you and give my family. Like, because that's what I wanted. Ultimately, I wanted that family dynamic. I wanted to grow up. I want to ask to grow up in a house with me and you together, you know.
Starting point is 00:36:21 And, yeah, it was over. I had mentally checked out. You was, like, moved, like, you had moved on and everything, but, like, you was still selfish because I couldn't be with nobody. You didn't want me, but I couldn't be with nobody else. No, we clearing it up. Because in the book, it makes it seem like I had a baby on you. Well, you were dealing with...
Starting point is 00:36:40 Ashton is 3. Number 2. I'm at Ashton is 14. Okay. Alia is 11. Yeah. When did we split? When he was like about two or three?
Starting point is 00:36:50 No, we split. We split once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I took you back. I got back with you. Remember when I met, yo. Correct. You know, I can't say his real name, but yeah, when I was... I met Emmanuel.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Why didn't you say, you know what? I'm going to cut the BS out and I'm a fight for my family. Because it's just. Music. Who, bro? Yo, got it. Oh, yeah. That's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:11 But one thing he said. One thing he said. And you can curse and say it. One thing he said was, I can do a thousand one thing. Once that girl f***ed that one person, we can't take it. So at that moment. And then even at that time, like, you know, still it's peer pressure, people around you.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Oh, and then at that time, I really. cared about what my friends thought. So it was basically, and then it was like a manhood. And, you know, like my father didn't really say too much negative, but, you know, he said the things he said. But, you know, I think I was more so heartbroken because of, you know, certain things that she did do. Rome overthanks, like he creates these scenarios in his mind
Starting point is 00:37:53 and he overthanks and he thanks himself out of the relationship. He's not wrong for that. Yeah. Even though we shouldn't make a sentence, he's not wrong. But when I'm right, right. When I'm wrong, I could have been right, but when I'm right, I was wrong, but I wasn't wrong. Okay, okay. I see what I'm saying? No, yeah, I ain't old with you. But no, you, you, you did some things to me too.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Yeah, I believe, okay, let's, all right, that's fine. Yeah, you, and I'll take accountability for it. You did a lot of things in me. I didn't pull it up on Jessica a couple times. Pulled up on a way, yo. In her neighborhood. Tell me. I mean, tell me. And then that's one thing, too. I don't like when you ignore my phone calls. Control. Don't ignore my phone calls. Don't ignore my phone calls. and then don't hang up on me when I'm trying to explain. Because you're not... Let me get my point across, because then that means you don't care about how I feel.
Starting point is 00:38:39 And that's one thing about this society. Nobody cares about how men actually feel. And then when men try to open up, and I looked at... It's on the same track. That Michael Beasley and Shannon Sharp, I felt a lot of things Michael Beasley said. When a man tried to open up,
Starting point is 00:38:57 you'll laugh at me. Until it's too late. I'm just glad he was able to get the help he needed to be able to tell his story. But it's a lot of other men who are ashamed of door. But this book, and that ties everything to this book, this book is a great book because his father's out there that's hopeless. Right. Because you got a lot of types of dibs.
Starting point is 00:39:20 You got deadbees who, they don't do something to baby mother say. They did beat. You got deadbees who just actually don't give a . You got deadbees who said, oh, wow, women don't want to allow that. Let's stay there for a second Because I asked Rome I said Rome if you Had a title for your book
Starting point is 00:39:37 What would be called You had a very interesting title I got the second one I got two So I'm the second one By the father would be a father Not when it's convenient for you That's not when it's convenient for you
Starting point is 00:39:50 Is what got me Yeah Do you feel like she only wanted you To be a father When it was convenient for her? No Okay Not with her
Starting point is 00:39:57 I got a lot of Of course you know I got a line But no With me and Jessica, it was never about, you understand, man, this would be for the distance. That's why it's most genuine because she didn't keep a child because of a status or some money or whatever the case can be. We just was honestly thought we was in love. And then when I grew up, I didn't grow up on Spain and out blocks and that type of music. I grew up on Bawao and Lord Romeo and Sammy.
Starting point is 00:40:23 So, like, it was love music. And I always just wanted those fairy tales. It was like my favorite show growing up was Sweet Life and Zach and Cody because of the family dynamic. So it's like for a young man to want that and then you see my life didn't get that, that's one of the things I'd be like, damn. I don't see I f***ed up, but I'd be like, well, wow, why I couldn't get what you want those cards. And I saw always a lot of my friends, I used to be jealous of my friends growing up. They had their mom and dad and I didn't. And I told them, they bro like, I don't like you.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Love you, but I don't like. your friend or your day? My friends. They had what I wanted. And then I just used to see how they just never appreciated their mom. Was the co-parenting way that your co-parent now?
Starting point is 00:41:10 Was that always there or they had to get there? Like at first was just not letting you see your son or you didn't want to see your son because you never been in the case. How did it originally start? So it was always co-parenting. I was co-parenting with her mother.
Starting point is 00:41:22 With my mother? Yeah. With Mama Robin. Because Jess didn't want to see you? Because Jess was Jess. I didn't want to see you She had to see me, though, because she was living at the daycare. So she was going to see me.
Starting point is 00:41:33 But it's never been the point where I couldn't see my son or he's keeping away from me because she has that family dynamic who this ain't that. And just why didn't you? Because most people would have been like, he did me dirty, he cheated on me, he did all these things. I'm going to use my son to hurt him. A lot of people do that. We see that a lot in relationships. Why wasn't your mind frame that as hurt as you are? I just, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:58 I just couldn't do it. I gave Rome a lot of grace because, you know, I was doing my, my issue, too, but, you know, it's not about who, well, actually, it was, it was about who started it, but whatever. But once we started going back and forth trying to hurt each other and trying to make each other feel the pain that each one of us felt, I got, I got tired of that. And once I wanted to sit down with Rome and just put everything on the table, like, yo, are you, you, you, let's admit everything, things that I did that I was lying to him about. he admitted things to me. Well, he explained things to me because that's the thing. Rome never really told me all he did. I would find out.
Starting point is 00:42:37 And I'm going, I'm coming to him. Like, yo, this is what happened. Ain't no AI. AI was not, we, it wasn't even not our fingertips back then. So no. But I was able to give him a lot of grace. And then also like his trauma, he went through a lot when he was younger. And I realized him like, yo, I'm a lot more mature to see that.
Starting point is 00:42:56 And my mother always instilled that. me give a person grace everybody comes from different walks of life you don't know um what he's gone through and it's hard to operate in this world without a mother you know and then with an absent father you know father who you see but he not really there is no really is no real bond so i felt the need to like be more of a friend and a confidant you know because i think i was like the only one that you can open up to about a lot of things that happened in childhood a lot of things that you know, you didn't, that you, that you didn't get as a kid after your mom's passing. So I think that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:43:33 That she used that against you? Because you talk about being vulnerable. Does she ever use that? So that's what I was going to say next. But the big umbrella of everything she's saying, her mother. Ms. Robert. Okay. Because she wouldn't allow it.
Starting point is 00:43:45 You have women, you have men, you have human beings itself who when the f*** don't go their way, they got enablers around them telling them that that's right. That's right. When her mother, I loved her mother so much. It reminds me how much I used to go through hell and hot water. Because I was always rebellious. And then as I got a certain age, I'm already defensive because of what my dad did. So you can't tell me, but I had to take myself step back.
Starting point is 00:44:11 She's not trying to hurt you wrong. And, yeah, she, she, just you wrong. Rome, you wrong. Yeah. So it wasn't no, oh, that's my daughter. I'm going to take her side. Right. Because it was, and honestly, like, I think, because,
Starting point is 00:44:26 The co-parenting itself, it got, it was, it wasn't bad, but it got great after a while. It didn't just happen overnight. Right. It really started happening when I took my feelings out of. Like I stated in the past, like when that, when that, that narrative, oh, I don't want this, I don't want this, I don't want this, I don't want that. I allowed it to happen, though. Because when I decided to hurt that woman or not want to be with that woman, that opens up the door that she can have whoever the f*** she wants to have around that child. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:55 So the logical part that I went with was okay Just long as they ain't trying to hurt my kid I'm okay And I respect my child mom enough and I trust them enough And even now all of them to not allow that to happen I want to add you something wrong because you said What you wanted growing up with a two-parent household And a lot of people would say How can somebody with that mindset end up with five baby mothers
Starting point is 00:45:19 Because it's impossible to give those kids What you wanted growing up So why would you create this? same type of environment. So let me elaborate and piggyback. So I never really
Starting point is 00:45:30 that two prime household now is new. I never really cared for a two prime household. I just wanted my mother. Gotcha. So mind you, I was fine with
Starting point is 00:45:41 going with my dad on the weekends going back to my mother until that last weekend I can get to go back to my mom. So the two prime household dynamic come from
Starting point is 00:45:50 like I said shows and stuff like that and reality and the stigma that's the situation. anxiety put on you always supposed to be like this. When 2 p.munt household produced some of the most f***ed up as people in the world.
Starting point is 00:46:01 But you are not a f***ed up person. No. You're a brother with high emotional intelligence, so clearly I know you wanted to be better than your pot. Yeah, correct. And like I said, I made, I made decisions. A lot of decisions I made was out of vulnerability. A lot of decisions I made was out of hurt, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:18 and I'm not ashamed to say that. People are like, oh, oh, whatever, that's me. Can I ask you in your, You just tell me if you agree that I feel like you were looking for maybe your mom in these women. And that's why, you know, because you were lost at a very young age. And that nurturing and that, you know, all that nurturing and affection stopped at a very early age. And you went from that household. That's all you knew.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Love and positivity and just, you know, all that to a very different type of household. You know, it wasn't much affection. It wasn't nurturing. and I feel like that actually shaped how you look at women in relationships. Yeah, like it affected your love life in a way. Do you agree with that? We're going to be very transparent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:04 I never looked for women. I never looked for my mother in women. I did look for the love and affection, right? Why I never looked for my mother and women because I put it on tape, my mother wasn't a saint. My mother did. like you know like but who she was to you but who she was to me was she was great
Starting point is 00:47:27 but it was like once she left it was just that affection I love that holding a person because I used to hold my mother every night she put me out every night I used to hold her it really didn't affect me until I got older and started dealing with women because when I'm going through school I'm always busy maybe that's why I didn't affect me
Starting point is 00:47:45 I'm grades baseball basketball I really had no down time I don't really think about it. I know my mom and at the like, probably like 13, I'm, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:55 I'm washing cars. That's what, that's, and my mother love cars, so that's where I get that from. So it was like, I don't think that it, I never really said,
Starting point is 00:48:01 oh, I want my mother in this woman, because my mother ain't know how to cook. My mother cleaned up, but, you know, you have five baby moms, right?
Starting point is 00:48:10 And of course, Jess had relationships before she recently recently got married. How did you co-parent in that situation, right? Because asking to be at his house, he has women there
Starting point is 00:48:21 or you know just might and have a guy like how did y'all it's crazy how you just cut that man I was talking about his mom no because I'm out no it's gonna come back no
Starting point is 00:48:30 okay so I can see where you're going at go ahead so I'm asking so how did you deal with it because that's what you seen with your life so how did I see with my son there with her how man
Starting point is 00:48:41 like how do we co-parent like how did you you know like so we're speaking on this we're speaking on the husband now no not no before the husband before the husband That's totally different.
Starting point is 00:48:50 My relationships and Ash would be home with me, but then he come over to him. Yeah, like, how was the co-parenting relationship between you and I when that was going on? Schedule. You had girlfriends. And I ain't going to hold you. I took my feelings out of it. A couple men that, one, two, one and a half. You literally only liked.
Starting point is 00:49:09 One and a half. I ain't liked the other one, but. And you didn't like him first? No, I didn't. But we're going, yeah, yeah. One and a half because this. Why to half? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Because the half of her, I didn't really care for him, but he loved her. So he loved my son. So like I said, it's times where Rome just take him to the house when they were, them two was, you know, in one household. And I would drop him off. No problems or none of that. So that was it. That was the only transaction for us that.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Really wasn't as high, a buy, whatever, nothing. I ain't really cared for him because of what he was saying to the other women who was coming to me, if that makes sense. I'm confused We got to break it down Okay, so he wasn't a sane In this hot in that relationship Neither
Starting point is 00:49:52 Okay, I got you And we didn't came across A couple of the same women Mm-hmm I ain't disclosing anything But did you ever tell just that Like, you know, you're doing No, no
Starting point is 00:50:00 That's not my business She figured that's wrong That was not your business It's not with your son there Yeah, that's my son But they wasn't in the household He was doing what he did On his free time
Starting point is 00:50:09 Wow When he was doing How I know that Because my son was with me Majority of the time When he's doing it on his free time Well, a cheater would support a cheater anyway I'm not supporting a cheater
Starting point is 00:50:20 You chose him and that's on you I didn't know he was cheating Well, I didn't either I didn't either But it wasn't no problem But how did it affect you When she got married right Because they said it was boundaries
Starting point is 00:50:34 And the reason I asked If I'm marrying somebody I know y'all might have a relationship And I know y'all might be tight But you kind of got to find your own person to lean on Because that's mine You know what I mean That's my wife now
Starting point is 00:50:45 You know what I mean? but y'all was so tight for so long. How did those new boundaries affect co-parenting and your relationship? Yeah, because somebody had to build the wall. It ain't effect nothing. Shut the fuck up, man. Guess what?
Starting point is 00:50:59 It wasn't a wall built. I'm a man. So when she leaped and in that, my job, I knew step by step, but it wasn't even over on I want you to meet Chris. It's just a genuine and it wasn't a wall.
Starting point is 00:51:15 I always have respect. How did I deal with not being around or talking to it? It's almost like you're losing your best friend. But I never thought about that. Because you're selfish if you don't want your best friend or you get a person that you love to be happy. So if this is what makes her happy, okay, I got one child mom that's happy. Well, I'm f***ing the Russell Wilson.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Thank you. Is what you used to say? Don't go get me your future. I'm like, yo. Yeah. You wanted her to get somebody better? I want her to get a Russell Wilson. I look so forward to death do we parent two.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Yeah. That's you writing. And honestly, that's what it is. No, I ain't gonna say it. I don't want to buy you. I steal my. Nobody's going to steal it. I ain't patting it yet.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Okay. But you have to be parent. What is it? Part two. It'll be part two. Two, T-O-U. What is? No.

Starting point is 00:52:49 because earlier this week, I gave a donkey to a guy named Dalton, Etherly, aka Chud the Builder. He's the racist who runs up on black people in the street and provokes them by calling them racial slurs and then threatens them with mace when they attempt to put hands on them. Well, you all will be happy to know he is currently in jail, okay, with no bond because of a shooting that happened during a confrontation outside of a Montgomery County courthouse
Starting point is 00:53:15 in Clarksville, Tennessee. Both men were shot in this situation. They are both in stable condition. The other man was black. We don't know how the shooting unfolded, or what led up to it, but Chud DeBuilder has been charged with employing a firearm during dangerous felony, aggravated assault,
Starting point is 00:53:31 reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, and he has not received a bond. Let Remy Ma give Chud the Builder the biggest he-ha again, please. He-ha-ha! He-ha! You stupid motherfucker-ha! dumb. No, good morning.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Good morning. This is Janelle. Hey, Janelle. Who you want to get the biggest heat, hot to, Janelle? Docke other day, goes to these two girls. I was walking by the own business,
Starting point is 00:53:52 and the last thing and talking together, carries on, and then one in them, and I looked, like, side-eye kind of grin, and like, and then the other one, like a second day goes,
Starting point is 00:54:02 I'm like, after that, I was like, you know what? Not today. I flew to meet. I left. I said I walked away,
Starting point is 00:54:08 because I'm not about to get that a harno virus or unless with my illness and stuff. Wait, what? Right. Hold on. You just walking down the street and you heard a girl cough.
Starting point is 00:54:17 A little, a little, and you thought that was DeHana? I first, because I left, the girl left behind me left. I thought, yeah, I was thinking about, okay. And I started walking into my music, my business. I'm not going to my car. And then she's, they get next to me, like, we see it. But like, I was like, it's fake or real. I looked at her.
Starting point is 00:54:34 I was like, ha. And then she was, in the other one she started to talk in, too, was like, and I was like, okay, I walk. I just started to see walking. I went from, I was like, nah, no, no. You see what I'm saying? I'm not mad at you. Listen, we at that point, we're at that point where you judging,
Starting point is 00:54:48 we judging you for sneezing more than twice, we judging you for little coughing fits. We just don't know. We got to take precautions, I understand. Thank you for calling, Janelle. Good morning, who's this? Hey, it's Hayley. Hey, Haley.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Who you want to get the biggest E-Haw to, Haley? I want to give the knocky of the day to Kendrick Lamar. Oh, God, for what? Drake ate him up in Iceman. I don't think that's the case, man. Listen, and you see, this is the narrative that we're not going to spend. Drake already took his L. It's okay to take his L.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Now he's just, you know, screaming about the L he took. You know who Drake is? You ever seen Menace of Society when Chauncey got his ass kick and Chonsie got the videotape of, you know, a cane and old dog, and he ready to go scream and tell him to the police? That's what, that's what Drake is at right now. Don't say he ate Kendrake. No, he did.
Starting point is 00:55:38 How? You got to listen to Iceman. I listen to enough. I don't care what's a lot. There's nothing on Iceman that's going to change the outcome of what happened two years ago. It's not funny. He called the troll you this morning. I know.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Good morning. Who's this? Hey, good morning. This is Terrell. Call him from Jeff. Terrell. How are you, sir? Who you want to get the biggest he hard to?
Starting point is 00:55:57 I'm doing well. I want to get the biggest. I hate the state is like I give it to you show him. Okay. Why? Well, you still go see a mental health advocate. Anytime I listen to the radio show, you always try to bully my man drink. And luckily for him, he's strong enough to take you, but he wasn't.
Starting point is 00:56:12 He was going through a mental health. of Christ's like that. First of all, you know, you're disdain for him. Drake, I don't- You're thinking away from the fact that this is the biggest, most historical thing that has happened in the last 20 years of music. Oh, my God. This is why it's a bunch of grown men covered in semen,
Starting point is 00:56:25 covered in frozen semen, posting them on Instagram, talking about Ice Man on the way. I don't have a disdain for Drake. Drake is a artist. Drake puts out music, and the music can be critiqued. Once it's up, once it's out for public consumption, we, the consumers can critique it. That's what I do, sir.
Starting point is 00:56:40 But what I will say, As someone that has to work in an hour, I spent three hours listening to that last thing. I'm probably going to regret it in a few. I'm tired of town. Why would you do that? I was just saying it was so, I was trying. I was falling asleep, waking back up, restarting songs. Like, we are getting old.
Starting point is 00:56:57 But what's the point of that, though? Like, the music is going to be here when you wake up. Like, why do you have to listen to it? Why did you have to binge listen to it? It just feels good because it's like a job. Because it's a moment. I got caught up in it. Well, I hope it's too much music for you to be critiquing it.
Starting point is 00:57:11 early. I haven't critiqued it at all. I haven't heard it. I've listened to some of Ice Man. I haven't critiqued it at all. Fair enough. Fair enough. Well, give it a listen over the weekend. I know you probably got a lot of other things that you consider it better to do. But it's music for the ears. It's music for the soul. I'm going to be honest with your
Starting point is 00:57:27 day. I highly doubt I'm going to listen to all three Drake albums, bro. Like, I'm just not, I got a life. You know what I mean? I understand for those of you who like to be covered in frozen semen and post and say Iceman coming. Iceman cane? What is it? Now, y'all can say Iceman came.
Starting point is 00:57:43 See, oh, my God. Y'all don't even got to say Ice Man coming anymore. Now when y'all post y'allselves covered in the frozen semen put Iceman c-G-Man. Good morning. Who's this? Yo, what up, dude, Brandon from Louisiana? Brandon from Louisiana. Who you want to get the biggest e-haught, too?
Starting point is 00:57:57 Man, I want to give it to all the people who give it Dr. Brian does the smoke. And my reason being is, think about, like, when people go get their hair done or go get their hair cut. Are y'all asking them bar with them hair solids? Hey, let me see your certificate. They just go to school. Like, all y'all just going in there because Kiki know how to do like a little quick weed. So we're like, oh, let me just go to Kiki.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Now I'm going to tell you. All these people who. Now, I'm going to tell you what. Let me tell you where your argument falls apart. When you walk into these barbershops and you walk to these hair salons, one thing that you will see most of the time is these people have their certification plastered on the wall somewhere. Like literally right behind they booth for their station,
Starting point is 00:58:33 their certification is right there for the world to see. If you're a licensed barber, licensed hairstylist, it's usually showcased in your, facility. Sure, I'm telling you, you would be something, you would be shocked. If you go in there, like, yeah, y'all fools don't really have y'all stuff up. Like, you would be surprised. And the same thing like people who do all this catering and stuff.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Did they go to school for this? Like, hey, let me see your degree or your certificate from cooking school, color school. Like, I think if we're going to give for the smoke, we got to give everybody the smoke who do not have their certificate, their license, all this. Let's keep that energy across the board. I'm not saying you wrong but if you are in a barbershop
Starting point is 00:59:14 a professional shop you have to be a licensed barber to legally cut hair and beard for money you have to you're supposed to be so I'm not saying that you're wrong and I'm also telling you that most of these people when you walk into their shops they have their certification
Starting point is 00:59:27 up for everybody to see you're right you would be shocked but a lot of people don't do they they just like it's feel it's a boofy let me just try to get this money out of this boothie
Starting point is 00:59:39 like you would be shocked when you go. That's all those things. I'm with you, but I don't think that makes it right. Just because people are doing it don't make it right. But have a great day, sir. He don't. All right.

I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast.
Starting point is 01:01:19 There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us. We just have to find it. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My husband is currently on a vacation. with his mistress and I'm confronting them. Tell me, Sophia, how did she even catch them? One Amazon shopping receipt.
Starting point is 01:01:45 He accidentally sent her a photo of the kids' Christmas gifts with a delivery to another woman at the bottom. He exposed himself? That's a rookie move. Couples massages, monogrammed bath robes, and lingerie he then mowed her for. So she spent four weeks gathering evidence and taped a 10-page letter inside his luggage
Starting point is 01:02:04 before he flew out. In his luggage, she came to play. And the second he landed, he blocked her. So she called the hotel room directly and got the mistress on the phone. Ooh, she got the mistress live on the phone? That is a bold move. Let's see if it pays off. Then it gets worse.
Starting point is 01:02:20 He took the mistress on the Bahamas honeymoon trip he had planned with his wife. And then the mistress tagged him on Facebook, outing the fair to her entire family. That's like a whole public confession. And spoiler, two years later, karma hits him so hard. He's calling his ex-wife in tears saying about the mistress, What a mistake that was.

You have over 60 animals.
Starting point is 01:03:06 First of all, how do you even keep track of everybody? And second, do you have favorites? Who are they and why? Yeah, I need to know about this. Okay. I don't know where the number's 60. I really got to figure that out. And I could actually have over 60.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I just need to really know that number. There have been plenty of sheep in my bed. It's a big bed. In the bed. Literally sleeping in the bed, yeah.

Starting point is 01:04:03 Amazing, yeah. How are you? Bless Black and highly favorite. Yes. Yes. Yes. Vacancy is out right now. That's right.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Yes, yes. Vacancy can mean a lot of things, right? Okay. It can mean emptiness. Yeah. It can mean opportunity. What exactly became vacant in your life that allowed this version of R&L Linux to exist and create this project? I think it's just the repetitiveness of my dating life.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Yeah, the album encompasses a void that needs to be filled and that can be romantic. It can be platonic. It can mean, you know, in a business way. It's just a metaphor or whatever that means to you, you know. Is it platonic? We got to, let's figure this out for once in a while. It can be. That's why it's why it's platonic.
Starting point is 01:04:49 It's why it's my whole life. But I do it biopic, biopic. You say a bike pig and it's supposed to be biopic. Tomato tomato. You can't let can be having us out here saying the wrong word. Wait, well, how is it supposed to be? Plotonic. Plotonic.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Plotonic. Plotonic. And you're the second person that you have. I don't know. All right. All right. Thank you. All right.
Starting point is 01:05:11 I'm in camera. I like that. That's lovely. So on this project, you go in and out of your space, whether it's your heart, your physical space, your mind, your energy, being vacant, then being occupied, then not. Yeah. It's all over the place, but it's a good journey. Thank you. Yes.
Starting point is 01:05:28 So where are you in real life after this album in the dating world? Like, what, like? I mean, I'm just a lot of life. alone but years of like romantic loneliness but it's cool
Starting point is 01:05:45 no it's all right I'm doing great I'd rather be by myself than in anything toxic or unhealthy so it is what it is you know I'm okay I say you're in the club turning up though
Starting point is 01:05:56 I do turn up something with your tea oh my tea you told on house guess you said you'd be you'd be wanting your tea with my tea exactly and right here I have this hot water I don't know if you have no damn tea in the club
Starting point is 01:06:06 that night, buddy. He'd be turning up. When? Oh, when you saw me? Years ago? Yeah, yeah. Years ago? No, that was like, what? Two years ago? A year? Last year? It was recent. Oh, yeah, I had my hookah. Yeah. I stopped. I had to stop, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:20 I made a pack with the man. No, it's okay. We took a picture. It's okay. I mean, last year I wasn't singing, but this year I am. So we got a tour coming up. You know, the vacancy tour starts April 12th. So, yeah, I want to be vocally prepared for it. So no more hooka for. for me. But you're still on your sobriety journey, right? Drinking wise. But you said you made a pack with a man. That's what made you stop the hookah. Yes. What happened to that man? You said he was horrible. He was trifling. He had a secret girlfriend. Or he had a girlfriend. I guess I was the secret.
Starting point is 01:06:50 And I had no idea. And I haven't spoke to him since once he told me. So you know, you never liked the escape song. You're my little secret. You couldn't be a secret. I do love that song. I love escape. So yeah, I could not be a secret. No. But I do love that song. They were saying. I want somebody want to keep you a secret I need to know who the main girl I think it just speaks to the state of dating out here
Starting point is 01:07:15 it's just incredibly depressing I feel like for everybody you know so there's what it is Are there songs on this project About him? I know that you've been working on this for some time
Starting point is 01:07:24 From About him? Hell no Okay because under the moon talks about somebody that could be a big toxic Yeah that was someone else Oh That was one of my exes And I don't even know if he counts as an ex
Starting point is 01:07:35 It was like a month-long relationship. It counts. It counts. Really? Well, it depends. All right, now. Do you feel that you had a connection? You're so pretty, Jess.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Oh, my God. Jesus, like, your fresh face, beautiful, and your hair. Thank you. Don't look confused. Don't do that. Why are you hating on her? I didn't say anything. No, he was just looking at me like he was kind of confused.
Starting point is 01:08:00 But thank you so much. No, that depends, right? Did you have a strong connection with him? Do you feel like you love? Because a month can be short to some people, but that could mean a long time. It's not about the time. It's about how you connected with him, how you made you feel. Yeah, no, I don't feel like I loved him.
Starting point is 01:08:17 I don't think it was because I think in order to love someone, you have to accept them for all that they are. And I feel like we did not accept each other for our truest selves. And for that reason, I don't believe it was love at all. Probably just infatuation, which I said, it's just that repetitive theme. I think there were a lot of secure energies that entered my life that I wasn't ready for. And now they're getting married, all these secure people that I, like, I didn't under, I didn't recognize that safety like in them then. I think because there's so much chaos inside of me.
Starting point is 01:08:52 But I'm working through it. I have my therapist. And I'm a lot more aware of it now. Those red flags and things of that nature. Do you love fast? I'm sorry. Do you love fast? Do you love fast?
Starting point is 01:09:04 Do you like trust fast? when it comes to dating? I do. I do. But I don't think it's love. I think it's like trauma or something. I think, or a kink,
Starting point is 01:09:14 some type of love kink. I think I have that because I'll be quick to be like, oh yeah, I love you. But it's like we're, so it's like, like, of course I do right now. It's nice.
Starting point is 01:09:25 The sex is really nice. And sometimes that can be just a little misleading, a little confusing. The emotions are high. And I think just in general, my emotions run extremely high. So I tend to romanticize and exaggerate things.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Why can't you just love sex? Like if somebody flips you and folds you and puts me in oppression. That song is a song. I love it. Thank you. Why can't you just love the physical act? Like, why does it have to be anything else? Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 01:09:51 I can love it. But I think a part of sex for me is a very passionate thing. And it's just ironic because a lot of the times it isn't, or it hasn't been in my past, very passionate. And, like, yeah, I think, yeah, all my relationships were kind of just surfaced, for real. Yeah. Do you want to be in love, clearly, right? I do, I do.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Do you think you've ever been? No, no, I thought so, but no, I don't think I have. Now that I know what it means to be. Because it's a choice every day. I don't think I ever made that choice every day in those relationships. You're in therapy, right? Yeah. I go to therapy a lot as well.
Starting point is 01:10:33 And your therapist will often tell you that your first last and best love is self-love. Like you can't love anybody else until you truly love yourself. Do you think that has been part of the reason? Absolutely. My therapist is amazing. She has me doing these exercises every morning where I have to look at myself in the mirror. And that's like so hard. Like I'm speaking to myself and I like who am I?
Starting point is 01:10:57 And so it's been helpful, but it's definitely been an exercise that I avoid. I think it's just, it's hard, honestly, to face myself, but I'm getting closer. And it's amazing how long therapy has happened. She's been telling me that I need to read this book called The Courage to Trust, and I've been avoiding it. And it's just I know I could be so much farther in my journey. It's funny that I'm just prolonging healing in that way. But, yeah, one day I'll read it.
Starting point is 01:11:28 One day I'll be able to breeze through that mirror exercise. But yeah, so those are ways that I'm like practicing self-love slowly, facing myself and learning who I am. Do you feel like an artist's personality is just as important as their talent? I do. And I feel like it can be damaging. If you're too honest, too open, too opinionated, yeah, there are things I wish I never opened up about online.
Starting point is 01:11:57 But, you know, you get one life and I'd hate to regret anything. at 80 like I should have said this, should have did this, should have this person, should have, um... I didn't always come back to the shit. No, because vacancy, my album is sexy as hell. It is. It is. We're going to figure it out.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Yeah. And it's that good sex, bad sex is all the part of that. Yeah. We met at you. We're manifesting. We love you. Because I ain't even having sex. It's been three years. Oh, so you're celebrating too.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Yeah. So you're on a sobriety journey, you celebrate as well. Good. Yeah. Well, actually. I did have a I shouldn't have said
Starting point is 01:12:34 I didn't want to lie well it was almost three years okay well no it was three years it could have been longer but yeah oh you're a liar no I'm not a liar that's why I had to
Starting point is 01:12:43 I don't want my mom to know oh shit damn yeah it was just a little moment so I won't ask you no more questions about it actually it was all right huh she said she won't ask you no more questions
Starting point is 01:12:56 about I said it's too me no you can okay great so what like because when people People say that they've been celibate for like three years, five years. I'm like, how do you not run into like instances of just like the feeling of like wanting to masturbate at all? Oh no, I do that every night. But she's talking about penetration.
Starting point is 01:13:14 Yeah, but I thought, but because there are certain levels of celibacy. Like I know people who are celibate to the point where they're not even trying to do. No, I could never go that long without doing that. And I feel like my whole down there would completely change. Like, it would completely collapse. If I didn't make sure she was good. So what was the running you had that almost messed it all up or kind of set you back?
Starting point is 01:13:36 You said it was... Oh, I don't think it set me back. I feel like I needed to get that energy off me. I feel like I was really becoming decrepit a bit. And just, I just was too... I just felt in my energy. My energy was exuding prudeness.
Starting point is 01:13:53 And honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. And I feel like celibacy is a beautiful thing. But me personally, I just needed... a nice restart of and so yeah now we're back so yeah so what's the clock at now
Starting point is 01:14:07 what do you mean in general life once you reset oh um mom's watching your mom's watching why do you want to know it's I don't know
Starting point is 01:14:15 I don't know you don't have to answer that I'm just back well clearly I do now listen every time that we've had conversations you know on this air
Starting point is 01:14:28 I'm like you know she's such a nice person Like she got such a dope personality, right? But if you just see what you do online, you think all she does is complain. Like we can't even watch Martin without her complaining. No, please watch Martin. Yes, we can't be in the kitchen.
Starting point is 01:14:43 No, I can. Break down the Martin thing because people were upset about it. No, Martin responded to that. I know. And it meant the world to me because he was so gentle in his response. And, oh, I didn't expect that. I actually cried when I, huh? So she no Arnold responded to?
Starting point is 01:15:03 She did. She did. She did respond. Oh, you cried when Martin responded? I did cry. Yeah. Yeah. Because, you know, he didn't have to respond so beautifully the way that he did.
Starting point is 01:15:12 And I didn't feel it was invalidating, you know what I'm saying? But he was also, you know, true to himself. And I respect that completely. As a big fan of him, it meant the world to me. Because he's a legendary comedian. He could have dragged me to hell. So along with the world. From down the street from us.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Exactly. It was heartbreaking. It was a heavy time for me because I felt like I isolated myself from every black person in the world. So, like, I was ruminating heavy, but luckily the album, like, pulled me out of the dumps and therapy and things of that nature. Yeah. Did you talk to your therapist about it? Oh, yeah. Is she culturally competent enough to understand Martin?
Starting point is 01:15:52 Oh, yeah. I'm sure she loves it. Yeah. Do you have a black therapist? Yeah, I have a black therapist. She's lovely, beautiful, beautiful natural hair. She's great, yeah. The most interesting thing that we're going to witness about you
Starting point is 01:16:07 is how you get better with time. Like I can see it. Like your music is going to get better with time. Plus, just you as a person. Like your levels of, I don't give a fuck, I'm going to get better as you get older.
