A lot of thinking too.
You're going to be thanking a lot.
We're going to be thinking and feeling before we get into these questions.
So without further ado, let's start.
Johnny Boy, how you thinking?
How are you feeling? How you feeling after this movie?
I'm feeling, guys.
This was a saga, most certainly.
This is a, you know, a bit of a Shakespearean comedy of sorts for the modern times.
You know, you have a whole bunch of, you know, different characters.
with each their own little world,
but there's also the communal aspect,
and then eventually everyone's coupled off at the very end,
which is just kind of like a neat,
structural game to discover.
Yeah, this was, it's, you know, a fun battle of the sexes most certainly.
It was an interesting movie to get a hang-on
of like the tone and the disposition of things.
I'm curious to hear your guys' just overall feelings on, yeah,
the tone as a whole.
But I had a really good time,
and certainly it's one of those movies
that has like a good spectrum
of different situations
that are all relatable for some walk of life
and coming of age moment
that many or much of the people watching
probably have had.
You know, I found this relatable
in various ways, you know,
and there's always, I think,
in a situation like this,
going to be like one character,
a couple that's kind of like hitting closest to home,
but they all got a little bit
that you can kind of reflect off.
of it was fun.
Totally.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, Corey, how are you thinking?
How you feeling, man?
I think it's way more than a 6.5 IMDB.
Yeah, come on.
It's a little low.
IMDB gives everything like a 6.5 or a 7.
If it's, yeah, 6.5 is like the IMDB rating.
Yeah, what to get around?
So I really didn't know what to expect coming into this
because I didn't know anything about it.
I didn't even know the Steve Harvey element.
And then it was so funny because that was like a through line.
What has it got?
What did it got?
Oh, went away.
Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess.
If it was 6.5, I feel like Rotten Tomatoes is way harsher than I'm to B.
I'm going to go 37 in a row.
I'll go 48.
All right.
I'm going to go 40.
37, 40, 48.
55.
I should have gotten an estimated.
I should have got my opposite instinct.
That's very close to the 6.5.
That's like a, you know.
Critics consensus in Think Like a Man and otherwise standard rom-com is partially elevated by a committed and attractive.
cast resulting in a funny and modern take on romance.
So my thoughts, I think it is a movie that I didn't know a lot going into and got to enjoy that
kind of whirlwind of like, what am I watching, not having seen a trailer, not having really
had any expectations. It was nice to discover such a huge ensemble cast as we were going.
I love a good like Gary Marshall joint where you're just like, oh my God, they're in it,
there and then this one did a really good job making them.
Their arcs were likable enough that even when I
really hated the choices they were making. I knew
the redemption would feel good.
And the funny
elements weren't
tonally inappropriate because the only
thing that felt out of place was so
consistent, and that was Kevin Hart.
It felt like I was like, that doesn't make any sense for this movie, but
it was so consistent. I was like, I think they'd know.
So I had a really good time with that. I thought it was really funny.
I thought it was endearing. I thought it was very heartfelt.
I remember about an hour and a half in, there was a moment
where I was like, this is nice to scapism.
Like, I was having a really bad day, and this was a really
like I was so in that at one point I was like I've been enjoying it.
Yeah.
It's a funny thing to think like why you're gonna,
but it was just really nice to have been, you know,
swept up in something.
So I had a good time.
Yeah, the magic of movies.
I had a really great time with this as well.
I think that it is a movie I definitely did not know much about
and had no expectations for,
but was pleasantly surprised.
And yeah, it's funny that it fits for me in that category of movies like,
why did I get married,
the Tyler Perry joint that Greg.
And I watched like a hitch and then you have you have this one.
And it was fun seeing the different pairings and how you could anticipate the conflict that would come from those pairings and the way that those things sort of repaired themselves of the course of the movie.
And yeah, I think I liked some plots more than others for sure.
Like the stuff with Gabriel Union, I liked in theory, but we didn't spend enough time with it.
The ending didn't work for that one for me.
Yeah.
Because like he just came up and was like, I'm a.
say one thing and I get the table made it more of a statement
but like it did feel like it resolved a little too quick for the
for the yeah for the plot they
they had uh it felt yeah
didn't feel like that was a believable
thing like you his
resolution was fairly simple he had done it
the entire time and then he just decides
to do it all of a sudden on the trajectory of that
I don't think has as many dynamics
yeah you know it's kind of the same
conflict on a plateau until the end
yeah and I'll kind of resolve quickly
sorry to interrupt it yeah that's the only one that I definitely was like
And it felt the most disconnected from the other plots because at least the one with the player and the mama's boy, their girls also knew each other.
And yeah, and that stuff was fun.
And I really like the player kind of coming into accepting that he's going to be with this girl.
And the fact that she made him wait and actually got to know him on a deeper level than many other women had is kind of what endeared him.
And the fact that she was willing to put in the effort to show that he's someone worth investing in, kind of made.
him feel special because of the dreams that he had that kind of fell through. And yeah, it really
goes to show that with a good partner, they can make you stronger and make you better in the areas
you may not either anticipate or see yourself. And I think that was a very beautiful thing. But yeah,
the fact that it was about each, both men and women, kind of learning how to navigate relationships
for the sake of, you know, them coming together for something.
Healthy, at least, you know, sustainable was a nice message, and I really dug that.
It's funny.
You were talking about the Gabriel Union one, and I thought you were talking about
Regina's, and they both have the same problem for me, but I forgave that Regina one a little bit worse.
Well, yeah.
Because, like, the Gabriel Union one, like, I remember thinking, like, I don't know,
but she was way more patient for nine years, and she was so much more.
attuned to him that I feel like that is a little bit more palatable than for me, the Regina one,
which is like, that's a lifestyle he's had.
You have no way of knowing if this is true.
You have a child and that kid is going to like adore him because he argues that.
That was the one I was thinking of.
The Regina one was the one I was like, this is.
Yeah, that one could have had a lot more nuance.
The single mom and the mama's boy.
That could have been its own movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, that feels like the start of a journey for him.
Yeah.
And I could see how that would work out in the,
that she would want to support him and build this relationship on top of it, but it does seem a little
bit like, oh, you're, you, it's, I would agree with you guys. I think it's like the Michael Ely
story and the Romani Malco story, I think the most interesting and they have the most sort of
rich growth and development over time. And then, you know, when you come to, I want to remember
all their names, when you're in the mom's boy storyline, I feel like the arc completes on the choice to
like set some boundaries stand up
to her. The movie lets him off the hook because she's already
got a reason not to hang out with him as much.
But like, you know, he commits to
this new fresh start
which puts it, you know, kind of
in that mid-tier rung of efficacy
where I'm like, okay, all right.
I'm kind of with you. And then with the other guy with
freaking turtle, that's
the one where I'm like,
you just got a job, I guess.
Yeah. It feels like, yes, this is also
a step one, but it feels like less
defined
than...
Their breakup felt temporary.
Yeah.
Jerry Ferrer was one.
It felt like
she was gonna take him back
as long as he got
like at least 10%
like it felt like she was more
forgiven.
Yeah, for sure.
That whole blah, blah, blah
thing on the resume felt very
disrespectful in a way
where I was like,
I don't think you just getting
the job would actually be
the whole,
you know,
the key to all of
the parts of this conflict.
It's one aspect.
Right.
And it shows your initiative to grow and to, you know, level up.
But also, you made this really ugly when I was trying to encourage and support you.
But they all did.
And like, by the way, let me say it before the comments, too, if they haven't already.
We know this is a rom-com.
We know that is written for that.
Like, we are psychoanalyzing.
That is the fun of looking at a movie.
But I also think that all the women are too forgiving.
Like, there wasn't a single relationship in this where I was like,
Megan Good is still way too good for dude.
Yeah.
But at the end of, like, he came around.
He, like, asked her to be the girl.
friend and everything. You don't think so. You don't think he came around?
I think he did what he thought he needed to do.
But he didn't sleep with the other girl, though.
What a minimum standard. Like, yeah. Oh, good. He was like, oh, wait, not Megan good.
Is it like, Megan Good? I don't care who it is. Like, you have Megan Good that, like, might take you back.
The horror. I believed a character shift overall had happened rather than just this guy has taken
one action.
He was more,
to me,
unacceptable for 80%.
Whereas like,
Jerry Friar is a man child
that needs to grow up.
That is not as indisputable.
That is not in it to hit it.
Like that dude was just waiting to like tap Megan Good.
And like that is way more of a negative to climb over than like I'm a man child.
I love my mom in a creepy way.
Like those things are like, you know,
nature nurture.
He was natured into being a dick.
Yeah.
So for me,
predatory practice.
Maybe it's me like, you know, projecting,
but the whole time I was like,
I don't know if there's anything that this guy could do
that would make me think he's worth making good
after what I've seen him think of her.
Yeah, because I think after
she was like, yo, I talked to my uncle.
That's when he actually started to change.
We're fired of that.
What's that saying?
You see you're proving my point.
If she didn't do something, yeah, would he have changed?
And none of the other guys were ever like,
oh, I hate this girl for having a boundary.
They were annoyed.
like Jerry Ferrer was like
why she changed all my stuff
but he still was trying
Kevin Hart and Wendy Williams
we only heard him like projecting
the mama's boy
wasn't like she hates my mom
I hate her like he was demeaning
yeah yeah
it's making good
yeah I feel you part
part of me feels like he was
yeah he was upset by the fact that he was
falling for the girl so he was trying to put on the barato
I wish we'd felt a little more of that
yeah I can agree with that
with the mama's boy storyline
I feel like the fact that
one he didn't live with her and he only saw her
on Sundays because that was their dedicated day
I feel like he was a mama's boy
but it wasn't like to the
umph ridiculous degree that it
could have been if they were grinding
on each other a little bit it was off
it was off well
I guess the red flag the movie
presented to me
because yeah you're designed to kind of wonder
that and yeah they are very
familiar but I think the thing
for me that was a biggest
line cross from him was just
the relabeling her work
yeah that was crazy that was crazy as hell
constantly
using this work excuse
as a means to not change
this and lying straight up about like not
going home saying he's going to work
yeah that is like that's messed up like that that
seems
like a chronic
compulsory behavior
in a way that's
And you're gonna keep on.
I will say the way that that resolved itself felt a little too clean.
Like, oh,
only because she found a man.
That's what I'm saying.
They all felt too clean.
Like,
if you really look at it,
like,
I know the comments are going to be like,
it's a rom-com.
But like,
even Traghi B.
Henson,
like,
Trici P.
Henson did the,
like,
I'm gonna stand on this thing and say,
I miss you.
He shouldn't have taken her back.
No.
He should not have taken her back.
But if all the women shouldn't,
neither should he.
And that's what we're saying,
like we get,
but I'm just saying.
Yeah.
This seems like
This is a fun movie
Because it seems like it's designed
To kind of inspire debate
And to be like a bit of a Roar Shack
Like everyone would yeah
Yeah it would be
And yeah like a fun like watching it in a group
And everybody kind of participates in the sort of
I don't know
It's like a cultural watering hole of sorts
Because it's a ritual we all engage in
Let's expose a bit of ourselves
Who do identify with most
Oh golly
Oh um
Because it's kind of right
Michael Ely
Yeah I'm Michael Ely
Nice ass
nice little smolder nice little chef work
uh i identified with uh with gary
i identified with bennett i couldn't hear what most of the other characters were saying
honestly so whenever bennett showed up i was like good i caught a line of dialogue that
speaks to me directly
who did you
i mean i i think i am jeremy i had to grow the fuck up like i literally like
anjay moved in and my entire house like florida ceiling was comic stuff
And like, I liked living in a comic.
Like, that was what I always dreamed of as a kid.
And I still think there's, like, a place for that.
But, like, when you move in with someone, you got to make sure it's your home, like, the pair of you.
So when we moved, it became, like, my office got to be that.
But it was never a fight.
And I never, I always understood.
But I think of the relationship, she makes me want to be better.
And that's, like, the positive side of them, too, is like, I didn't need to be told.
I wanted to be, I wanted to earn that.
Because she's like, you know.
I feel like his stuff
It was the combination of
Him having all that stuff
And him having no ambition
I feel like you're a very ambitious person
And that's why I think I clicked onto it
Like this makes sense
This isn't me getting defensive
He was defensive because he didn't have that aspiration
Yeah
But other elements of him like I totally
And not just the nerd part
But like the me as an immature person identified more
Like in my 20s I get Jeremy
In my 30s I don't
But that's nice
Yeah
Yeah I feel like
What's the Michael Leely connection?
I
I think because I'm someone who wants to tackle many lanes and just as an artist.
Like, yeah, I'm an actor.
I'm a poet.
I'm a host.
And I'm just like, ah, what are the things I want to do for my primary thing?
So I felt like landing on that, I guess I'm like at the beginning of my 30s, but I feel like identifying with that specific aspect.
Yeah, resonated.
And I felt like he was a good dude throughout the entire thing.
And he genuinely wanted to kind of better himself for himself, but also for the benefit of his relationship.
I think you'd break up and give it like a head kiss and make him feel awful.
Coming in being like, I know you're wrong in this situation.
Out.
The head kiss was, yeah.
That was diabolical.
That head kiss was crazy.
Yeah.
All right.
Speaking of head kisses,
we'll see what head kisses you guys have for us with the patron questions.
Let's do this thing.
Let's make it nice and beefy for everyone's eyeballs.
Let's think like a man.
This man like a head kiss.
All right.
Here we go.
We're going to blow this shit up.
BABOOM.
BABOOE.
Guys, girls, rejects.
I cannot believe we are already a month into 2026.
Now, last year I made this whole big goal about dropping a bunch of weight.
It was a big lesson in discipline and pushing past a limited belief in what I could achieve
in my 30s.
It was a lot of fun.
But now this year, I want to enjoy a little bit more food and, of course, have a
healthier relationship with food and my own body, as a matter of fact.
It's more about maintenance and overcoming some mental body dysmorphia things that I deal with.
And a big part of that has been choosing foods that are good for me while also choosing
ones that taste good and that's where something like Hewool has been a big part of that.
As a matter of fact, I actually use Hewle a few times during the week during my cut,
but I just haven't been able to let them go.
The black condition ready to drink is just so dang efficient and tasty.
The chocolate peanut butter one is the talk of the town.
If you watched our most recent live stream, we went on a random tangent talking about
how this is so good.
It wasn't a sponsored segment.
We just had a chit chat about it.
And speaking of chit chatting about it with Koi, I found this once, but this is true.
I found this hidden behind a bunch of sparkling water.
I was like, I need to shoot this for the ad.
and I wasn't able to find it.
I'm pretty sure Koi hit this because he's coming in tomorrow
and he wanted to make sure no one else was able to take it
while we're waiting for our reorder.
I'm onto you, son of a bee.
Anyway, it's a complete meal in a bottle.
Pack for 35 grams of protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals.
No artificial sweeteners, gluten-free vegan.
Each bottle under five bucks in it actually keeps me full.
If I want something a little thicker, more customizable,
you can also take their black addition powder.
I got a whole bunch of flavors at home.
I take one of these like four to five times a week.
They're daily greens.
Daily, I should take them seven days a week.
Anyway, it's not about perfection.
It's about consideration.
consistency and they really help me keep consistent, especially when I'm too lazy to, you know,
pack food for here. Anyway, limited time offer, get a heal today with my exclusive offer of 15% off

partnering and supporting our channel yet again. All right, we're going to start with our first
question from J-Dell. Thank you for sending the question. Appreciate you so much. After watching
Think Like a Man, whose rulebook do you think actually caused more problems?
The man following Steve Harvey's advice for the woman using it against them.
Oh, the men?
Yeah, for sure.
The women made them all better?
I mean, it caused problems, but they needed the problem.
Yeah, I feel like them being fake about it, but I feel like the only one who actually
took the advice was Michael Ely and.
Yeah.
I'm the best one to be.
He's the best one to be.
He's the one that gets asked back out.
Yeah.
But yeah, I don't, I don't think it's a headscrubes.
out of there for like the woman were genuinely
using that because they wanted love and you even
saw some of the women like Taraji P. Hansen being
resistant towards using the book.
And she used it wrong. Yeah. And the
three women didn't. Like waiting 90 days
is a realistic expectation if you've been used
a lot. Trying to get someone to not be a
mama's boy is realistic, especially if you've got a child
and that commitment's going to be great. Like they used
it right except for Taraji P, which is why she had
to be the guy
and that was her whole thing.
And Michael Ely was the girl of their group.
He is pretty. He is a beautiful.
beautiful man.
Cast well.
Very cast well.
Yeah.
I did appreciate that balance, but yeah, at large, the men were mostly the wrong ones here.
By following it in bad faith.
I would argue.
You probably not.
Very much.
Very much.
Good job of selling this.
Oh, gosh.
Thank you, Jaydell.
Appreciate you for the question.
Jay Rustin.
Hello there, Jay.
Which of these are you?
The Mama's Boy, the non-committer, the dreamer, or the player?
We answered this question.
I'm the dreamer, baby.
I would have been the noncommitter.
I would have been the non-committer, but I'm engaged.
I'm getting married.
Probably a combination of the non-committer and the dreamer.
My layers of like overthought and, you know, certain...
I'm like, I'm very sharp at certain things and very dumb and oblivious about other things.
Those are probably the archetypes.
I'm definitely not the player.
Not the player and not the mama's boy.
And like, I'm close with my family, but like I don't...
Realistic.
Yeah, I don't like,
My mom is not getting in the way of any of my.
Yeah, no.
I'm so, like, obliged and dedicated and, like,
wrapped around that situation that it's in any way affecting my dating.
Yeah.
But, again, these are all real archetypes.
Like, like, maternal emashment is a very real thing for a lot of guys.
But, yeah, I don't think I fall under that category.
But, yeah, for sure, the dreamer.
And I'm a lover boy.
And I feel like the dreamer is also a lover boy.
and not in the
Certified.
Not the fuck boy sense
but like the
You know I want to aspire
But I also like want to give love as well
Yeah so
Thanks Jay Russian
Appreciate your dog
A J.
Delt
All right
All right
Jay Dell question two
If you didn't know
About the rule book at all
Which couple do you think like a man
Do you think would have figured things out
Naturally
And which ones were doomed from the start
To matter what advice they followed
Naturally I think
only Michael Ely.
He didn't, she didn't.
Does there, uh, naturally?
Yeah, because that rule book, he would figure it out for himself regardless.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I didn't involve her.
Totally.
Like, it doesn't fully answer this question.
Like, I do definitely not think Turtle would have gotten it.
I don't think that the Romney Malco character would have, uh, I don't know.
I guess the right person might have done it for him eventually.
He seems at least like he possesses a level of intelligence.
he's that's the doom from the start from me man making good getting disrespected yeah yeah i was great
i like i couldn't fathom it actually the first act i was like i can't imagine this actually
being a scenario but yeah i couldn't fathom why he chose to continue pursuing her but i think
i'm trying to put myself in in that guy's shoes because he's just he he seems like the guy's
become jaded by women because he's been hurt in the past and maybe put himself out there too
much and he didn't feel like his efforts were being returned. So to have a woman who did invest
in him to the level in which he invested in somebody once upon a time felt good for him,
which then opened his heart up. So I feel like I don't, then again, I don't know. I don't think
they would have even gone that far had she not read the book because I feel like she probably would
you know,
done what felt natural
rather than kind of
of holding the fort.
I don't know
if any of these couples
Yeah,
maybe Kevin Hart
and Wendy Williams
because they didn't read the book
in the first place
after a long enough timeline.
Yeah.
Why not?
That damn was going to break.
I mean,
I think they're all dependent on it.
I don't know if anyone
would have naturally gotten there.
I think Michael Ely is the closest
he would have gotten his dreams
because he was inspired by Taraji P. Henson.
It's like he would have gotten the personal development,
but yeah like regardless of the romantic development no Gary Owens came out the winner though

and I think we have one final trivoli here hey let's read that all right Jadil MVP of this
reaction yeah or the post conversation most of the cast didn't meet each other until the table
reads in rehearsals which helped make the dating K-0
I feel more authentic.
The awkward chemistry,
the first impressions,
the tension you can,
you see on screen
were often real reactions
between actors.

Stacked cast.

Very, very big cast.

Although the white male character of Bennett is profiled as white color and frank about racial topics, even when his comments may seem racially offensive, he has a black, he has a wife who is black.
She is seen briefly twice toward the end of the movie, and she is the only female associated with any of the male characters who has no speaking lines.
Damn.
Yeah, I think Gary-on's wife, or I think now ex-wife is also black in her life.
So that is funny.
Trying to keep it accurate.
Oh, that's right.
In the scene where Candace answers Michael's phone and ends up catching his lie,
she answers saying Michael Atwater's phone, that's stut out to me.

That must just be a goof.
Yeah.
Oops.
That must just be a goof.
They changed names in the script at some point.
They shot it in Atwater Village.
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
