A work trip that wasn’t a vacation, a coworker caught red-handed, and a storm bearing down—this one starts with real life and only gets louder. We open with MLK reflections and a frank talk about protest today, then slide into an office saga where “it’s done” wasn’t done, the system logs told the truth, and documenting receipts kept us sane. That messy moment turns into a clean playbook: escalate with proof, write the hot email then delete it, and keep your peace intact.

From there, we take you shopping: crowded aisles, panicked carts, and why Five Below is not below five anymore. Practical storm tips meet side-eye economics, and the conversation bends toward food risk and reality—bacon’s carcinogen label, fast food’s salt math, and the weird new frontier of lab-grown meat. We unpack what’s hype, what’s helpful, and how to eat with both joy and judgment.

Music fans, you’ll want your headphones for this: Mary J. Blige passing on Umbrella and why the song needed Rihanna; Jodeci’s studio magic vs the vocals that didn’t age well; and a spicy vocals-only question—who steps out first between Kandi, Chilli, Ciara, and Michelle? Then it’s a quick pivot to a McDonald’s scam that double-charged customers, with real money hygiene tips you can use today. We close with a relationship pressure test: what does “let him lead” even mean, and why good leadership invites questions instead of shutting them down.

Come for the laughs, stay for the takeaways: workplace boundaries, grocery sanity, safer spending, and relationship clarity. If this hit home—or your office—tap follow, share with a friend who needs a receipt, and drop a review with your wildest coworker story. We might read it on the next show.

With your support Table 4 Three can improve.  We are looking for donations to reach our goal of a thousand dollars.  But let's make this fun!!!  Whenever someone donates $10 or more, they will receive a shoutout on our next episode.  The person who has the highest donation can choose which Table 4 Three member gets a pie to the face...to which will be aired on our first video podcast.  As always, we love and appreciate your support.

SPEAKER_03

Um been back for this last year.

SPEAKER_05

Wait, so it's so it'd been a full week for you. So yeah, how'd that go for you?

MLK Reflections And Protest Philosophy

SPEAKER_03

Four week now, yeah. Um, it wasn't bad. Just getting back into the groove. Groove things from the vacation. Oh, yeah. It was not a vacation.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, oh, it was a work thing.

SPEAKER_03

It was a work thing. It was celebrating Dr. Martin Luther. Luther King.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Let's give it up for Dr. Martin Luther King. Woo! Uh on. Dr. Martin Luther King, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, he deserved way more than yells and applause. He deserves your respect and praises and his family's blessings and stuff. He did a lot. Um, and I just that's just there should be more I should say here, but he probably thought cartwheels in his grave right now.

SPEAKER_16

Let's go back in history real quick. Well, we know what you did because you was there at that time. Um, would you have been a peaceful protester? Or been more so like Malcolm X? Like which which side would you have?

SPEAKER_05

Would I'd have been like Dr. Martin Luther King or Malcolm X? Malcolm X. Well, Malcolm X became peaceful later down the line. Um he he started off kind of militant uh at first, but then he went and visited I think uh uh well Mohammed, I think.

SPEAKER_16

And you mean over in Israel?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and then he came back kind of more because he was like kill them white devils at first, and then after that, it was just like peace and love. So, you know, I'm telling you, he was more militant in the beginning. I I think I'd have been I think we need a militant type of protesting now against these ice motherfuckers. Um because they need we need to we need to match force with force. I don't I think they killed somebody else in in in Minnesota, and uh it's just it's just ridiculous. It's they outnumber the guy, and he was a nurse or something like that. Like, come on.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, they're doing the most great.

SPEAKER_05

Because he had a whistle blown in his ear, like dog, dog, you a bitch.

SPEAKER_03

They just find any reason. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But yeah, uh these days and age, I would rather be a militant Malcolm X. You have to be the way it's going, honestly. Yeah. Um, how was your week, Nina?

SPEAKER_16

Um it was alright.

SPEAKER_05

I mean Well, this is an upgrade. Right? I'll take it all right over it was a week.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, because it uh it wasn't really bad.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, I thought it was coming.

SPEAKER_16

Oh, wait, I do. I remember now. This chick finally got caught in a goddamn lie. Oh finally. Yeah, co-worker. My co-worker, because this bitch be lying all the time. Yeah. So we had like this big project to do, right? So we had at least one day to get because it was due the next day to get the project done. So, you know, busting ass. I did like a hundred of them shits.

SPEAKER_05

Were you working or just busting ass?

SPEAKER_16

Did it both?

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

And um, so like my boss figuring, you know, oh, are you gonna stay? I'm like, no, I gotta drive the mass. So I gotta go. So um I stayed a couple minutes, literally just a couple minutes. And then I'm go to my co-worker. Well, I go to my boss first and I tell him, I'm gonna give it to the coworker and have her finish, because it's only 10 of them. Or whatever.

SPEAKER_05

After you did like what, f 500?

SPEAKER_02

A hundred. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_16

But in the midst of it, right, people don't understand shit, which drives me crazy because I specifically when I when I first got the project and started it, I noticed that it was duplicates. So it was four of us working on that project. And the initial person, she had that shit for a week, never said nothing, and that's how we ended up having to finish it.

SPEAKER_02

Wow.

SPEAKER_16

For her, or whatever. This not that this is a different coworker. And so I noticed it was duplicates. So I'm talking to her about it, and she goes, Oh yeah, I told your co-worker about it already. And I'm like, Oh, okay. So I left. I mean, I hung up the phone, went to my bosses, and I was like, Oh, yeah, she knows about it. I said, but I'm not telling this one anything. I said, Because she said she spoke to her, but she didn't have the galls to come tell us about it. So we ain't doing doing duplicates or whatever, because it was making more work unnecessary. So anyway.

SPEAKER_05

That was what you use for gunshot wounds, right? Galls.

SPEAKER_16

Shut up. I know. I did not say gauze. Be quiet.

SPEAKER_05

That's what it sounded like.

Workplace Liar Exposed And Management Woes

SPEAKER_16

Um, so end of the day, I was like, here, it's only like 10 of them left. Can you finish them because she leaves later than me? She's like, Oh yeah, yeah, no problem. Or whatever. So me and my boss leaving at the same time, and I look, I said, How about I bet you she's gonna end up not finishing them and probably leave them for me to finish them tomorrow morning because I come in early. I come in early to everybody. Next day comes, um, and I'm talking to my boss, like, all right, how we gonna um send this to who we gotta send it to? Whatever, because we we done, assumingly. I went to her and asked her, the coworker when she came in later. I said, Did you finish them? Yeah, they're all done. Yep, I did them last night. Okay. So we trying to package this shit up, whatever. Next thing you know, in our system, I see the duplicates being repopulated. So I'm like, who's still working on a thing? I thought everybody was finished. So my boss is like, I don't know. So we're calling the other people to find out. I did. So we're calling other people to find out. I said, Let me go ask her one more time or whatever. I said, I'm gonna take the list I gave her away. So I went and I was like, Oh, can I see that list so we can see whatever? So she gives me the list. I go in my boss's office, give it to her. Like, all right, I was like, Well, she said she finished it, so I don't know. We are scrambling trying to figure out, and as we're trying to figure out who's doing this, it's still populating new stuff, but it's already people that's been done. Right. So I'm like, whoa, who the fuck is doing this shit? This is stupid. So I go back in my co-worker's office. No, I'm lying. I walk by her office because I'm like, I don't know, you figure it out, you're the supervisor, whatever. But my co-worker calls me and she asks me, she's like, hey, um, do we have such and such's list to compare what was done or whatever? And I'm looking at her like, well, why? So I'm going to her office and I'm like, yeah, I gave it to you yesterday, like that whole pack. Hers is the first ones that's already checked off. But as I'm talking to her, me and my investigative, I always scan the room for shit. I look and she has like a different paper on top of the packet that we had initially had, trying to hide it, making it seem like she was doing something else, but she's stupid as she's talking. Paper lifted up, and I see the highlighted stuff, and I was like, It's her. So I was like, Yeah, you already have it, whatever. So I walk off, I go straight to my boss's office. I said, It's her. She's lying. She's in there processing. She tried to hide the paper from me or whatever. Because ain't nobody playing with you. We don't ask you a couple times, and you sitting here lying. You're holding up the process. We could be sending this stuff off. Now you're just making extra work. It's overriding the stuff that's already been done. Oh shit. That's what she's doing. Oh my god. So I'm like, This, this, like, this can't be real. You can't be that stupid. She that stupid. So my boss goes in, does like some shit, and then she comes to me, she said, This is how you see who did what. And she shows me, and who names pop up? The co-worker name.

SPEAKER_05

So that's the only way you have a great week if you're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_16

Because I'm sick of doing people shit and having to do like extra work for no reason.

SPEAKER_03

She addressed.

SPEAKER_16

She was. She was addressed. But it it wasn't no big like address like it should have been. Because come on now.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

You lying now. You blatantly lied. So but I'm not the supervisor. Even though I keep doing supervisoral shit.

SPEAKER_05

Seems to be the thing that's going around.

SPEAKER_16

Man.

SPEAKER_05

Anywho. My week was great.

SPEAKER_16

What was it?

SPEAKER_05

No, but I love my job.

SPEAKER_03

That's a that's a change.

SPEAKER_05

I love my job.

SPEAKER_16

The tone of the I love my job is a little bit different than what he initially said, I love my job. He's like, I love my job.

SPEAKER_05

I think I think what's happening now is with this new management uh ordeal you can kind of tell the things that they don't know, and it's it's screaming at this point. And it's starting to affect a lot of people. And I, you know, I'm the type of person that I just I just want to go and do my job and get the fuck out of there. I don't really do much of the he say she say type shit. That's not really my thing. People talk, they like to talk. Alright, let them talk. Um if something started to happen to me, I'll kind of voice my opinion, but I will voice it to the people that matter that can possibly do something. And I did that this week. Because I I realized that I might have some I may have to go see somebody to talk to about like harboring anger management. And I was about to hit send on this email, I could understand why people say read it first, delete, and then think it through.

SPEAKER_16

Cause the shit that I was about to put in this Yes, I always get that first that first response out and then delete that shit over. Cause I'd be like that.

SPEAKER_05

Cause I got hit with an ultimatum or something that I took as an ultimatum. Honestly, I th uh it is an ultimatum, basically what she said in the email. And then it's like, I don't think that's my job to do. And it was just like, let me uh let me go ahead and forward this to my supervisor or somebody who can kind of see the record of what's going on, because it's it's evident that that person don't know what the fuck they doing. So other than that, it was a great week.

SPEAKER_16

That'd be the crazy thing though, like dealing with like why, why, how are these people getting hired? You know what I'm saying? Like the people you know how and another thing I meant to bring up too, real quick, is so we had this one position that has been vacant, vacant, vac vacant, oh my god, vacant for vacant. It was like a like a bakery had a cake topper on top. But um it was a banquet box. It it was Salisbury State. It nobody had that position or whatever. So we finally, and I'm and I remember saying this to my supervisor. Shut up. Not a power bottom. Yo, the excitement.

SPEAKER_05

What position was it?

SPEAKER_16

I already told him, I'm like, we don't need no disrespect to the older community, but in this line of work, we do not need elders. Not elders. Like older people, like you know what I'm saying? Elders. I'm just I'm just saying, like, see it up, like because you know, at that age, they're not picking up stuff, they're not, you know what I'm saying? They're probably looking at like, I gotta do all of that. I'm not about to do all of that. Well, you gotta do all of that. You got hired for that. So I found out that they hired an elder for this position that I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. You gotta be kidding me. Wow. Like, what are y'all doing? Like, we got liars.

SPEAKER_03

OB. Like, she said, we don't need another Gail Gertrude, or no, no, Linda.

SPEAKER_16

The crazy part about it, it is like that is the second male we have in this in our old man. It's an old man. Oh, maybe that might work. Because it's something more to him, but I don't I don't want to get canceled, so I can't sack. Oh my god. Oh no.

SPEAKER_03

Why what is it?

SPEAKER_16

Oh no. Let's just say they should have gave him something else. He could have been a secretary, he could have been, he shouldn't have been what he is right now.

SPEAKER_05

Phil Cupcakes.

SPEAKER_03

Uh oh my god.

SPEAKER_05

Well, it seems like it was a productive week. Uh this thing is mine happened on a Friday, and it's like, I ain't gonna go into the weekend like this, and we're just expecting storm. I don't want to. I I got all my thoughts. So I'll send that email and shut down. I was like, I'm done for the day. But anyway. How we looking for this storm, yo. Y'all waiting for y'all, y'all ready for this storm?

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, they better shut this shit down. If they still make y'all go to work in 18 inches, but you well, you go to work on 18 inches.

SPEAKER_16

Um who the hell was going to work on 18 inches? I want to know. And I'm not talking about this dog. Yo, I'm sorry. I see 18 inches and I'm like, well, you gotta go. Yeah, I'm out of there. You ain't boxing it? Hell no.

Storm Prep, Grocery Chaos, And Price Rants

SPEAKER_16

I watched this um I watched this video my nephew had put up and is of like people going ham in the grocery stores. Like, why y'all go like it's not the end of the world?

SPEAKER_03

No, it was the end of the world yesterday because I was in the grocery store yesterday. Meet. But not because of the storm. Just because it's because I just needed to pick up some stuff. Me too. I literally went into the store. Cause I needed to get pepper. And I it was the most expensive pepper trip I have ever. Yeah, for real. Because now they hiked up all the prices. Well, it wasn't that. It's just I can't be let loose in a store by myself.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_16

It's never an in-and-out trip when Sean A goes in a grocery store. I mean. And my That's why I said grocery store because I knew he was gonna jump on that.

SPEAKER_03

And I ended up having to go to two different stores because it was something else that I needed that wasn't in the first store. Yeah, yeah. But the primary goal was pepper, and it was a$400 bottle of pepper. Because hey yo. What else you get?

SPEAKER_03

Five below. Well, you know, for all you bacon lovers, swine. The World Health Organization has classified bacon as a group one carcinogen. I'm not fucking with you. Meaning that it is cancer causing. Um I had bacon this morning. I did too. Basically, that puts, you know, the processed meats in the same category as tobacco and asbestos based on the um evidence, the cancer evidence that they've done with the research. Um, they also, but they came out uh not too long ago about French fries, was the same thing. Um what it was one other thing. Having that tonight. I should be full of cancer. But I guess you know, you don't really have to listen to it if you don't want to, because um pumpkin tits just removed the United States out of the World Health Organization. So we no longer are part of them and we don't have to follow what they say. He won't kill everybody. Basically, because they're the ones who said, hey, you guys got a uh quarantine during COVID. So now we don't have to follow that. No, no, we have to do that. All because his ass wants to be outside.

Yeah, and decide whether or not you're gonna keep eating bacon. At this point, everything's gonna kill you.

SPEAKER_16

So no, seriously, because even the organic shit.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Even the organic shit they're coming out, like, is not even and then you have to check it because like the lettuce is fake. Mad shit is fake.

SPEAKER_05

I'm gonna eat me a nice bacon burger with fries tonight.

SPEAKER_03

You either gonna die being angry because you ain't eat what you wanted, or you're gonna die being happy because you ain't eating what you wanted. Either way. Because either way, we're dying. Yeah. No, seriously.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah. Seriously. And I'm gonna die with a happy milk smile. And speaking of that, too, I watched something. They was talking shit about uh McDonald's being like the most like the baddest place to eat because one, their fries is I can't remember exactly what it was, but the fries is bad. The the Big Mac has so much sodium in it, it's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_03

I thought we did, we talked about that one time, and they said it was Wendy's. Remember? I think all of them is horrible. All of them, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I think all fast food that sells burgers and fries. I don't think the patties is real. I don't think anything that French fries, you can't produce that much fucking food that fast, and it's healthy. Ain't no way.

SPEAKER_16

Well, you know the burgers ain't real. We all know that.

SPEAKER_05

Although I just I just seen some shit on YouTube. Uh I probably like the best source right there, but um who was it? Who is this guy that gives away a bunch of money? Um uh Beast, Mr. Beast, I think that's his name. So he he he goes, he does his, you know how he does these little uh YouTube channel things, and he goes to uh let's look at future tech from less money to more money. But he he went to this place where they were processing uh chicken, right? So they made chicken without killing chicken. So they took the cells of a chicken egg and um put it in like a hyperbolic chamber or some shit like that. I don't uh clone in chicken. So they cloned yeah, they'll clone the cells and clone the stuff, and they'll put it in this uh big vat thing, um, and then create this chicken breast or some shit and cook it. And they had a real chicken and it's they seemingly it tastes the same. But I I thought that was real interesting. Like they're gonna start producing a lot of no, they already are.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, and they just like but not only just chicken, like cow and like goat.

SPEAKER_16

But what's that what's that thing that they have, that machine that that just like the printer thing that makes whatever the fuck you want to make. Remember do you remember when they came out in the news talking about how they they were gonna allow that to be okay where they was gonna start making yeah, fake meat and shit? Yeah, fake meat. Like nobody wants fake meat. That's what meat, right? I think that's what we get, and you never pay attention to like how stuff cooks compared to how it I'm not I'm just moving past him.

SPEAKER_05

You have a bunch of fake meat in your um closet, don't you?

SPEAKER_16

No. That's Shownay.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, because your battery's not yeah, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_16

I've changed the batteries, it just doesn't work anymore.

SPEAKER_05

Oh shit. God damn.

SPEAKER_03

When you use it as a jackhammer, you know, that high speed gets it done.

SPEAKER_05

Um, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_03

And the husband don't know if you jack a spider having a seizure. What's wrong with you? Either way, he's not gonna ask you.

SPEAKER_14

That's okay.

SPEAKER_16

So no, what I was saying is you ever notice like how the meats don't technically taste the same as they used to growing up? Like, and then you notice how like hamburger, if you cook the hamburger, why is it so watery? You ever notice that?

SPEAKER_05

Wait, is it coming out of the freezer?

SPEAKER_16

No, when you when you're cooking it, it it produces so much liquid compared to what it used to.

SPEAKER_03

So what percentage are you getting?

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, like I get the lean.

SPEAKER_05

Like 90% lean, 10% lean.

SPEAKER_16

I get the that's the ground beef. Yeah, ground beef, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Um do you get Angus? Do you get No?

SPEAKER_16

I just get the regular ground beef though. Yeah, what? Yeah, Angus, not Anus.

SPEAKER_03

But it's just so weird. I didn't know they sold that at five below. Angus! Five below. If you get five below, Angus.

SPEAKER_05

Well, it's below. Yo, that's yo, that's that is true.

SPEAKER_16

But just like it just, I remember cooking um some, I think I fried some chicken wings or something one time. And it was like, no. Don't frame me. It's just, you know how you could rip the chicken wing apart and so easily and stuff. It just was like, did you I glue this fucking chicken together? It was so weird. And I was like, this is gross.

SPEAKER_05

Like I ate it though, right? Who me? Yeah, yeah, I did. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Pay my hard or money for that shit.

SPEAKER_03

She's got little eggs growing on her back.

SPEAKER_16

Right? I'm pregnant with a chicken, baby.

SPEAKER_03

Like, yeah, that's not gonna find the feather in the back. Like, what the fuck is this? Bacon, babe.

SPEAKER_14

SPEAKER_12

Like, the hell?

SPEAKER_05

But the meat just is weird. It's just weird. What did you say?

SPEAKER_05

He heard cocking. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_16

So we got an audio.

SPEAKER_02

Oh lord.

SPEAKER_16

For you to pull up. We got an audio.

SPEAKER_02

What?

SPEAKER_16

I just wanted to move past that whole conversation. About um Mary saying an interview talking about how um she Mary J. Blige um passed up um the umbrella song. She turned it down.

SPEAKER_05

Good choice. Don't do that. I cannot hear it, Mary J. Blige singing umbrella, bro.

SPEAKER_03

So when I first I kept trying to listen to her voice and how it would sound singing umbrella. And I was like, No. No.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, I'm bringing Don't do Mary like that.

SPEAKER_03

And can you see her in the video with the fucking book? This dancing and shit.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. With the boots in it. Should I had the high-ray boots?

SPEAKER_14

Yo.

SPEAKER_05

Yo. Oh my God. Hold on.

SPEAKER_10

So it was during the breakthrough album, and Be Without You was on fire, and the whole album was on fire. You hear that voice for eight. Umbrella. And Dream and Tricky came to me with Umbrella. All I heard was eight, eight, and I was like, yo, my fans is gonna bug out on me if they hit me to my eight eight eight. So I was like, I got a lot going on. I'm gonna pass. Then when I heard Rihanna do it, I was like, see, it was for Rihanna. It was for Rihanna. It was for Rihanna. It wasn't for me. I'm not afraid to pass on something that's not for me. It got away, it got away. But it wasn't for me in the first place.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I don't I don't hear Mary.

SPEAKER_16

That would have that would've that would have ruined her.

SPEAKER_05

I don't think it would have ruined her because she at that point she still had a a good uh they would have done that.

SPEAKER_16

Because uh even at that point, people was talking about how Mary couldn't sing anyway. No, no, they was.

SPEAKER_05

Mary's a couple albums in at this point before Umbrella. So she's still.

SPEAKER_16

They still from when she came out with that, was it her first album? Well, her first album was the 411?

SPEAKER_05

No. That was her first album.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, what wasn't that one? What was that album was it that album? Where she did majority of her songs or covers. What album was that? Was it wasn't 411.

SPEAKER_05

That was her very first album, though.

unknown

What album was that?

SPEAKER_16

Maybe it was her second album. I can't really remember. But even when that album came out, it was like, mm-mm. And I'm like, y'all really think Mary can't sing? Back then I was shocked. I was like, I thought she sounded okay. Yeah. But now that you listen to her going forward, you'd be like, I get what they it's not that she can't sing. But Share My World.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_16

Share My World was her song. Well, no.

SPEAKER_05

Is that the one where she got everything? My life. Was it was it my life?

SPEAKER_16

Yes, it was my life, my life, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Once the 411 was the first one. And then my life.

SPEAKER_16

That's the second album, yeah. So when that album came out, everybody, like a lot of people, I won't say everybody, but I heard a lot of people always saying, like, Mary, don't Oh, yeah, definitely. You know, don't used to say that. Even Shakespeare was like, I don't like that. She sang my song. Umbrella. Umbrella. Shut up. Umbrella. Umbrella, umbrella, eh.

SPEAKER_05

No, I think she could have poured it out. You need to go home. I think she could have poured it out.

SPEAKER_03

That's why I I kept trying to like think, and I'm like, I think there's a way that she probably had to marry Fayette. I think she was right though with the her trying to do the eh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

It didn't fit her style. Yeah, that it didn't.

SPEAKER_05

Nah, not at that time, you know. I mean, coming off of Casey and B and then.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, so you just suspect.

SPEAKER_05

No, I'm just saying, like, she ain't want nobody in her umbrella.

SPEAKER_16

Speaking of Jodice, me and my husband was riding in the car, right? And we were to Jodice.

SPEAKER_05

Whose idea was that?

SPEAKER_16

And um Whose idea was it? Mine? No, it was his. Um so yeah, it was his. So um after that, I was driving in my car from work and a Joe Dice song came on that I never heard off of their album, their older album. Like back then or whatever. That shit was so fucking trash. Yeah. When I tell you them niggas can't sing.

SPEAKER_05

Listen.

SPEAKER_16

No, like dead ass. Them niggas can't sing.

Mary J Passed On Umbrella And Artist Fit

SPEAKER_05

I'm a I I was a dead, like I'm a fighting song, and I want you to play. I was a dead fan of Jodice when I was younger. I used to so their first album, I think, was one of their best albums. I think it their first album, I think, can be compared with one of the top albums in I it could be top fifty. Yeah. Well, all since then, uh because they're like one of the original kind of male groups back then. So it's like they got that first album they did was really good, and they sing really good on that fucking album. But that second album, it's like you can hear the drugs coming from the vocal cords. It it was so bad. It was so bad. Like, and it was like now my Jordy C fandom has come to an end. Because but that first album was fire. I still like that first album.

SPEAKER_03

You can hear the drugs.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you can hear you can you can hear the cocaine from their vocal cords.

SPEAKER_16

Oh my god. No, seriously, like like hold on.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_05

Yo, they have very nasty. They had bangers. They had bang they had bangers on that first album, yo.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_05

They had bangers on that first album. And then you go to their second album. And you get you get shit like this.

SPEAKER_16

Like fun tonight. Is it fun tonight? It's on their second, second album. Yes, yes. This shit, this shit took me out. But I need you to play it till you hear them actually AC and them sing. But you gotta hear his verse.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_16

Yo, I was dying when I hit the drug.

SPEAKER_01

I just don't have fun to come on, girl. What I'm telling you, we can do a crazy thing if you want to. Girl, you so damn tight. I told you I lost it.

SPEAKER_03

I was like, what? You know what that sounded like to me? Somebody, Uncle. It sounded like that was their pre-songs. Like before before they like Did they first album? Yeah. And they're like, oh, you know what? We got all these uh other songs that we ain't never released. And they because even the production sounds just off. Yeah. Like the show, the after party.

SPEAKER_05

It was like an album filler. Yeah. The hotel. That album was horrible.

SPEAKER_16

Wow. When I heard that song, I said, Ain't no fucking way. That's why he was. That tainted my view of them because it like the other songs. I was like, okay. Come on.

SPEAKER_05

You can't go from that.

SPEAKER_16

Even the albums after that, though.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, you can't tell me nothing about that.

SPEAKER_16

This right here.

SPEAKER_05

That's called a studio work, though.

SPEAKER_16

Woo!

SPEAKER_05

Studio work. Diddy knew what he was doing with this group.

SPEAKER_16

That's why they sound like shit the second album. They got Diddy.

unknown

What?

SPEAKER_16

You reminiscent?

SPEAKER_05

Come on. Come on.

SPEAKER_07

Never you crying.

SPEAKER_05

Yo. And then like it just went.

SPEAKER_16

And now you hear them and you're like, y'all sound like y'all sound like fun tonight.

SPEAKER_05

Is that you or is that JoJo?

SPEAKER_16

You hear me? Yes, sound like fun tonight.

SPEAKER_03

That's me, Devontae. But it um it's interesting going back to um like the the Mary thing is because that happens a lot in the um the music industry. Well, they pass up these songs. Yeah, because um Well chopping a writings around. Because Monica's song, um, Before You Walk Out of My Life, that was originally for Tony Braxton.

SPEAKER_05

That's yeah, people choose writers write songs and then I I've been in that situation where I wrote records where I I hear a particular artist on it and then they they shop it. But you gotta shop it to, as a writer, you gotta shop your records to you know who you think is gonna sound good on. Yeah. And then it most likely they probably pass because that's not on the the vibe they on or the wave they on on it, what the fans they think about all that stuff. So it would probably it will land in somebody's lap and become an instant hit that you wasn't even thinking about.

SPEAKER_16

That'd be interesting though to actually hear Tony's.

SPEAKER_03

I actually I can see where they were going with it, and I can probably I can hear Tony on it. And she didn't turn it down, because it was supposed to be for her um Secrets album, but she didn't turn it down. It was Clive Davis that was like, no, give it to Monica. Yeah. Because and that became Monica's second biggest hit. Yeah. But they was trying to push her up.

SPEAKER_05

Um Well, you're talking about Clive Davis, uh the Tony Braxton thing.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Oh her just coming with Monica just coming out. They was trying to really um push her up.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I mean, thank God for some of that stuff, like the wrong song with the wrong artist might cripple their career. Yeah. You know what I mean? So as you see with Jordice.

SPEAKER_16

So that was a fucking demo tape.

SPEAKER_05

That's yuck. The only good song on that record was Freaking You.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I wanna freak you.

SPEAKER_16

And that probably was just freshly wrote by like Diddy or somebody.

SPEAKER_05

It's not like a Diddy would write that shit. Looking at that fucking documentary. Yo. Like Diddy was in there like, yo, this right here.

SPEAKER_16

But the way you see it, I don't think Diddy write wrote shit.

SPEAKER_05

No, he don't write shit.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, about to say.

SPEAKER_03

All he wrote was take that, take that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Didn't Jada write most of his shit?

SPEAKER_05

And punches.

SPEAKER_16

So hey. Nah, we got it.

Jodeci’s Highs, Lows, And Studio Magic

SPEAKER_03

He punched them while they was doing lines. Boom! That's horrible. That's not funny. There are victims out there. That's why JoJo sounds like you're weird, you know. So we bring it back to Fast Fool. Um, there was a 19-year-old, uh McDonald's employee in Texas, Giovanni Blount, who was taken into custody by the Springfield Police Department. Um Blount? Yes. And they issued a public alert to residents who have visited um that McDonald's recently to check their credit card statements for any suspicious activity because they found out that the young man was processing like the legitimate payments from the customers when they were buying their food. And then he was using a personal payment device to tap their credit cards a second time, charging an additional twenty ten to twenty dollars per transaction. Um, and he was transferring those funds into another account of his.

SPEAKER_16

How nobody got that where it sets because I know my credit card or my card, it alerts me automatically when a payment is when you use it. Yeah, when you use it, it goes up.

SPEAKER_03

Everybody don't set that up.

SPEAKER_05

If you're that damn smart, get a job and get paid real money. Well, or if you're making millions of dollars off of that, be a little bit smarter. Don't get caught. Oh shit. Oh, oh my god. White people doing white things. Oh my god. I mean, he he oh it's that's y'all. That is y'all.

SPEAKER_16

He was taking money and fries.

SPEAKER_05

Oh my god. Yo, not money and fries.

SPEAKER_12

Bro.

SPEAKER_05

Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Yeah, that's yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05

You would I wouldn't I wouldn't peg them as like scammers like that. Really? Like, like not like that. You know what I mean? Not out of McDonald's. I've I figured they'd be like out of blue-collar job trying to take embezzle.

SPEAKER_03

Well, they do that too, but yeah I think he ain't reached that far yet. Yeah, he was working his way up. And I also think that it's like if you think about it, McDonald's, the way that the prices of McDonald's have gone up. Yeah. It's not going to be a huge alert for most people. Right. Because they see another$10,$15 from McDonald's on a credit card bill, because not many people are looking itemized at their credit card bill. Yeah, or get that alert. And so it's like, oh, okay,$15 at McDonald's. Oh, yeah, I did go to McDonald's last night. And they're not getting receipts. No, it's not really right.

SPEAKER_05

So I don't know how they not. I yo, I check every fucking well, that's what I do. I just check every fucking dollar that I spend to make sure, you know, I'm not getting ripped off.

SPEAKER_16

So Yeah, I always look too. I don't ask for a receipt, but I cause I know I'm gonna get the alert. So if another thing comes in, I'll be like, mm-hmm, wait a minute. I'll bustle you, you turn real fast. Don't play on me. Don't play me.

SPEAKER_05

Do you itemize your any like your statements? Do you go like balance your checkbook? Do anybody do that anymore? Like balance checkbooks and making sure. I don't use checks. No, no. It's not like check, it's not like a checkbook check. That's old school saying.

SPEAKER_16

If something is off, yeah, I'll go through it. I'll be like, well, wait a minute. Why is this this?

SPEAKER_05

I didn't spend that. Like, what's the yo I it's a monthly thing. Every time. Are you okay with it? Did you just drool yourself?

SPEAKER_16

That's because it's a certain bank that I used to have. And twice I got hit with fraud charges. Oh, really? Somebody spent like$130 something dollars at a gas station in fucking Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_13

Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_16

And then um another time it was actually a store in the mall. Somebody that I know I did shop there, but later somebody reached charge. Yeah. So like a worker there. And so again, I had to get my fucking money back, file a fucking report and all that shit. And I was like, yeah, y'all, that bank, I was like, I'm on seven jobs, so I left. Yeah. Because what why y'all always getting hacked? Like, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

These goddamn employees. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Inside jobs, man. They know what they fuck they're doing.

SPEAKER_16

Freaking employees. I know, it's crazy. So yeah. This so far I haven't date. But the bank I have has so many fucking um security measures. Yes, like it'd be pissing me off sometimes. And I'll be like, you know, it's good. But sometimes it's like, bitch, you locking me out. I can do my own shit.

SPEAKER_03

But I mean, it's worth it. Yeah. I guess though, like for something like that for him, he probably was real strategic with it though. Yeah. On who he did it. Right. Because I don't believe he was doing it to everybody. Yeah, he was probably doing it on over the five five below. Somebody who rolled up in a bins or a or a screen for five below. And they like, oh, they ain't checking their stuff. They just wiping their car. Not just staying from shut up. Five above. Shut up. Five above.

SPEAKER_16

So we do have another audio, and it's about this woman who's talking about she went she never wanted to date a man who had a sister, um. Or a living mother. Yeah, or a living mother. And I just thought that was crazy.

SPEAKER_05

She never had a what?

SPEAKER_16

She never wanted a man who has a sister or a living mother.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, a living mother.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Like your mama gotta be dead.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Or don't have no sisters. Like she don't want a man that got sisters or a mother that's alive.

SPEAKER_06

Son's girlfriend. When she loves him against the way that she's like, Oh, let me run about a girlfriend. I'm your brother's girlfriend. I'm your son's girlfriend. When she loves him against the way that you go see the lady. That's all you're doing right now. It's like I don't like the fact that somebody else cares about your well-being more than me. The idea of them to judge me.

SPEAKER_13

I'm not coming second to no other girlfriend. You're gonna be a lonely bitch. I can't, I can't rely on my man because at any given day he gotta do something for six other. Nah, I'm out of here. You lost me. Marry a mother. Can't have no kids.

SPEAKER_09

I I don't want a man with kids. I don't want a man that that comes with drama. I don't want uh a man with a baby mom. I don't want it attached to me. I wanna date someone and have them be in love with me and me only.

SPEAKER_16

I kind of feel her because my delusion I started that backwards, but so I'm gonna speak on the because I was that person. Not the mother part. The I can't date a man with kids. And I didn't, which is a uh what's the word? Uh being a hypocrite because I came with kids. But I I know me. And I know I couldn't be in that situation. So I never if you had kids, it wasn't gonna work for me.

SPEAKER_03

So I kind of see that differently though. Like I understand when when people are like, oh, I don't wanna be in a relationship or date somebody with kids. Kids bring a whole nother level of stuff to a uh relationship. So I get that. But saying that you don't want to be with someone who has fucking siblings, like, or their mother has to be dead because she wanna be the only woman in his life that gets attention. Yeah, that's weird. I think that's a little weird. That's selfish too. Yeah, very much so. That's wild. Like, you upset that his mother called and was like, hey, can you come by the house and help me move my washing machine? Because you might want to watch a TV show with him. Like, okay.

SPEAKER_16

Go with him to move the fucking wash machine. Like, I just think that's wild kind of thinking.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, that's stupid. She's gonna forever be lonely, flicking her bean and going to sleep. I'm gonna marry a mother. Like, and I get it. There are some mama's boys who've been.

SPEAKER_05

She shouldn't be begging nobody to be like But it wasn't her, it was the person that called in and she agreed with her.

SPEAKER_16

Oh, well, still, how about your?

SPEAKER_03

She went on her team too about either yourself too.

SPEAKER_05

Them both of them bitches can can go fuck, you know what I mean? Like, go sit down somewhere.

SPEAKER_03

There are really over pretentious fucking mother-in-laws and sisters, yeah. And mama's boys that like put their mother above every relationship and everybody in the world. Yeah. Sometimes that gets a little creepy. That's a red flag to me, man. A lot of times a lot of these mothers get too invested in their sons and think that they somehow. Yeah, that's man.

SPEAKER_16

That's creepy.

SPEAKER_05

That right there is very, very creepy. Yeah, I understand. So so here's the thing. So what if he she does find the guy, right? And he ha his mother happens to be alive. The red flag to me is like now if my mama ends up dead, bitch. I'm I'm I'm pointing you out. Because I know your intentions now. Like, like my mama was healthy.

SPEAKER_16

You know what I mean? She's like, ah, babe, I'm so sorry about your mom, but now I have you tomorrow.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, nah, yeah, that's some that's some creepy ass shit, bitch.

SPEAKER_03

Don't say that shit. That's weird behavior. The thing I think is interesting with that though is so you're okay if he has brothers and a father.

SPEAKER_05

Because she wants to probably sleep with them too.

SPEAKER_16

No, because she wants her she wants her block knocked off. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03

Because I'm just saying, like the issue is his brothers or his father could require his attention too, or need certain things that would take him away from you, but you're okay with she got options at that point.

SPEAKER_16

No, I don't think it's that. I think it's women for me personally, in my opinion, that's what I was about to say. I feel like she doesn't get along with women, period. So that's that's her view of everything. Like you have problems.

SPEAKER_05

That's just probably the way she was raised, like maybe.

SPEAKER_03

She ain't no daddy with being combative with other women is like she's the only child and she don't like to share. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

But if the yeah, but it's like if this is something your guy is willing to help out his sister, help out his mother. I thought that would be a good trait. That's what I was about to say. Like, that's that means that he's gonna want to like do the same for you. Like, why wouldn't you want somebody like that? That's crazy.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_16

Like, but speaking of mothers, like put it in this situation because let's just say, like, so one day my mother Oh Lord My mother called me and was like at work early to solidify this, right? So she goes, Hey, um, I need a ride. She was like, Your daughter can't do it because she has an appointment. Can you bring me to choir rehearsal? So I was like, alright. Um, no, she she was, I was like, Alright, well, I'm gonna get out of work, I'm gonna come pick you up and bring you to my house and wait, because she ain't had to be there till later. And I was like, Because in my mind, I'm just ready to go home. So then my son calls, he he has practice, so I had to pick him up. So I'm like, alright, bet. Grab him, go grab my mom, head back to the house. Go get to her, and and she gets in the car and she's like, I don't even really feel like going to cry rehearsal. So I stopped my car, still in her driveway, and I looked over at her and I said, Well, if you don't want to go to cry rehearsal, then you go back in the house, and I would have drove over here for no reason. Like, at this point, it don't matter. You go in-house. Like, you ain't gotta go. No, no, I gotta go. And I'm like, You sure? As I'm slowly backing out of the driveway, because I know my mother. Are you sure?

So now me and my husband is watching TV and having a delicious meal. And it's getting close to the time that my mom has to get dropped off.

SPEAKER_16

Did you have to bring her home? Hell no. I told her I wasn't bringing her home. My father came and picked her.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, because you she done wasted your time, your life. In my gas. Yeah. Like, come on. And she knew from the very beginning.

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_05

Vocals alone, okay.

SPEAKER_03

Who should excuse themselves from the group?

SPEAKER_16

I'm gonna how?

SPEAKER_03

You have Candy Burris from Escape, you have Chili from TLC, you have Sierra, and you have Michelle from Destiny's Child, who should excuse themselves based on vocals alone, and think about it very carefully. Think of everything you've heard them sing. And then give me your hands. Who was the third one? Candy. You got Candy, Chili, Sierra, and Michelle. Candy. For me, Candy could go home.

SPEAKER_05

I wanna say Sierra, but I she could sing. She could dance better than she could sing, but she can sing. I don't really I never really heard Candice. I mean Candy, but if she comes from the if she she comes from a group called Escape with Tiny with Tiny and M, she I I she has to go. I'll take Candy. I take Candy off of it.

SPEAKER_16

When you're out in the club, don't think I'm not.

SPEAKER_05

That's her? That's Candy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You can go. So because I like Michelle. First, I want to say I'm mad that they put Michelle on the side. I know. Michelle shouldn't even beat me. She was some respectful Michelle name. Thank you. And she's a gospel singer.

SPEAKER_14

Thank you.

SPEAKER_03

She sings.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, she can sing.

SPEAKER_03

You might not like her tone or what have you, but she can sing.

SPEAKER_05

And she matched well to be on in fucking uh Destiny's Ride.

SPEAKER_16

Thank you. Because can you hear Candy in Destiny's Child? Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_03

So that part. Even though she wrote for Destiny's Child. She's a writer. She could write. Oh, hell yeah. She could write. I can take her writing over her singing, anyway.

SPEAKER_16

Shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_03

So I was torn. I was torn. And I was torn because between Chili and Sierra? Candy.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_05

Probably Candy and Sierra. I mean Candy and Chili.

SPEAKER_03

Candy has her moments. And she can hit some high ass moments. She can hit some notes. Yeah. But a lot of times she just be like, out there. Mm-hmm. Sierra, you know, I've always been a Sierra. I don't know why you came out as a singer. You should have been a dancer.

SPEAKER_16

She's not a singer. She can hold a note. She can hold a note. She's not a singer singer.

SPEAKER_03

But the reason I was also torn is because has anyone ever heard Chili just sing a song?

SPEAKER_16

No. And that and I agree with you because I thought about that, but the only reason why I kept her is because, again, for me, it's the tone of Chili compared to candy. So that's why I say candy gotta go.

Dating Men With Moms Or Sisters Debate

SPEAKER_05

The reason why I kept Chili is because I I you I do hear her sing a lot. Because since since uh Left Eye, since Left Eye, they do live shows without her. So she she sings. So I I seen a documentary on her them doing a tour and shit like that. She can sing. No, she can sing. No, I seen her sing. I've heard her sing. I I would you heard her do a solo. Not a solo, because she's not a solo act.

SPEAKER_03

She's harmonizing with somebody else.

SPEAKER_05

So is Michelle. No. No. So Sierra.

SPEAKER_03

You've heard Sierra sing solo, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I haven't.

SPEAKER_16

Her songs are so those studio studio songs.

SPEAKER_05

She do what she do her own backgrounds too. I don't think she does her background.

SPEAKER_16

I've watched her do her live.

SPEAKER_05

I've never seen Chili Live. Oh, yeah. It's a documentary that's out. It's really good. How they they tore in what's the name? A T-Boz has this thing she goes to doctors for. It's good. But she sings.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So yeah, but she she holds she holds it. I remember that documentary. She holds it down. So I I was basing it off of that.

SPEAKER_16

And I I I really hear But to actually hear her go in depth and singing like outly or performance. Yeah, you have it. Yeah, we had nobody's heard that. Yeah. We've heard candy sound like shit, sound okay, and sound good.

SPEAKER_05

Right. Oh, so yeah, okay. I I get what y'all saying. But you still going with are you going with Chili? Or are you going with candy?

SPEAKER_03

I struggled and I I I keep falling at Sierra. Because that's what I say. Sure do not like Sierra. That's what I say. When she did that damn song, what is it called? When she was like, and die. And she's by that fucking tree. That shit drove me crazy. That they had her singing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

I knew exactly what socking is.

SPEAKER_03

Like Sierra is great at talking. Talking. Like in her songs, when she's doing more of the type of like rapping type of singing, she's fine. Because she has a soft voice. But when she's trying to sing. Yeah. And that's why I had to put Chili above her because I gotta find it. Yes, please play that song. It just bobs. What song? What song was it? What is it called? Is it called um is it called and I or something like that?

SPEAKER_16

You know I don't know titles to shit. I just know the time I hear it.

SPEAKER_03

And they using a lot of um shit to help her right now.

SPEAKER_07

I don't hear the engineering.

SPEAKER_05

I don't hear any like vocal manipulation as far as like oh Jesus.

SPEAKER_16

Some off notes in there. Tried to mask with reverb.

SPEAKER_03

They did, they did. That was like for me. Well, Sierra for me was when Rihanna first came out. Yeah. Chris Brown for me. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's why I was like, I gotta put Chili above her. Because I I I've heard Chili's voice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I've never heard Chili just out here just belting for burgers. Yeah. But I know she can keep a note. And not that Sierra can't keep a note, but she's a way better dancer.

SPEAKER_16

I just feel like that song just wasn't for her.

SPEAKER_03

And because I've heard Candy sing, I mean, I've had Candy's albums. So like I've I've heard Candy sing and heard her sing live. And on some of her escape songs, like she sings and hits her notes. So that's why I was like, I can't throw her out in the trash completely. Was she the person holding Escape Together? Vocal-wise? Cause wasn't Tiny the lead? No. It was um, so they always would make Candy The lead. And that was always like the fight. She was the one that hit the high notes all the time.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_03

Um, but what was her name? Tasha Latasha. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Latasha and her sister.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_05

Alright. So I found this on on online that Nini, I seen you resp uh you responded to, and I kind of wanted to go in depth on what you meant. So they goes, bitches want a man to lead, but don't want to take direction. And I was like, oh, okay. I wonder what people think about that. And I see Nene under there was like, it's not the woman. It's the type of directions that's being given.

SPEAKER_16

That part.

SPEAKER_05

And I a lot of people follow that sentiment. What about a direction?

SPEAKER_16

Because you know what? It's just like when females howl about, oh, men don't do this, and then in the And yada yada yada wit out you know really thinking about why. So for him to say that, I'm like, well, maybe the direction you're trying to give ain't the right direction. Well, if you because most men don't want to listen to the female when she's saying, like, that ain't it.

SPEAKER_05

Well, if you're asking me to lead, right, why question my direction in the first place? You're asking me to lead. You want me to be the lead. So, alright. So if you if if we're being looked at to lead, or if you're coming into this relationship and you want me to lead, and I am doing so by providing direction. Why question the direction if you want to if you if you didn't want me to lead in the first place?

SPEAKER_16

Questioning something doesn't mean that I don't want you to lead. It's just questioning why are we going this way when it's probably not the right way. It's not it's not telling you to stop leading me. It's telling you like where you're leading us is not working. Find something else. And if you can't take constructive criticism, if I'm questioning what you're doing, then there's a problem. What's wrong with that? You won't blindly go just because somebody's just because you say, Oh, I need a leader, and you find a leader, so if I say you're gonna automatically just not question that leader.

SPEAKER_05

So if you find something off. So we're we're talking, I I think so. If I'm saying, hey, don't invest in that, and I'm saying the reasons why you shouldn't invest in that, you're gonna question my leadership because now you say, hey, everybody else is saying, or I don't think you're leading me in the right place, I'm gonna invest in it anyway, and now we're flat broke.

SPEAKER_16

I don't think that's what that person is talking about, and I doubt I doubt that that's the question.

SPEAKER_05

No, I'm I'm not talking, see, I think you're taking lead.

SPEAKER_16

No, but I'm no no no. I mean, honestly, like if that's something like for me, you saying that, I'm not gonna find an issue with that.

Who Should Leave The Group: Vocals Only

SPEAKER_05

But that's what that's what he's saying. Yeah, you want us to lead. You you want us to lead, and you and I we're we're not talking about actual direction of this relationship, right? We're we're we're talking about the things that I'm trying to put in place so that the direction of the relationship can go into a better spot.

SPEAKER_16

So if I question you off the rip, that's a problem.

SPEAKER_05

No, if you're question if you're if you're gonna question the direction if it has to do with something that I'm trying to lead in. That's you for example, finance or uh decision making about something that that we need, you know, I'm trying to, hey, we should do this in the decision. I think lead in those type of ways in a relationship.

SPEAKER_16

And still not have questions? There's always gonna be a question.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, but okay. So if I'm saying, look, I I think you you gotta you got a thousand dollars and you have a habit of spending money before you even have it in your hand. And I'm gonna say, hey, I think you should invest at least half of that. You're saying you're gonna question that?

SPEAKER_16

If that person questions that, and it's what you're telling them is beneficial for them, so what I'm not knocking is what the leadership is. I'm just saying, like, sometimes the direction that is given may need to be questioned. But if that like not all not all the direction needs to be questioned.

SPEAKER_05

I'm just saying that's all I'm saying. Yeah, obviously.

SPEAKER_03

I understand what both of y'all saying. Yeah, yeah. And I think because what you're saying, I get. And then I think what Nini, what you're saying is like, okay, so your scenario of what his scenario is not the scenario I'm thinking of.

SPEAKER_16

No, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03

I'm just saying, placing that in that scenario this topic. So if your quote unquote guy is trying to be a leader in the relationship and sees that where there's ways that you could improve on not just for her, for us. Right, right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. But so you're coming at it with good intentions. Yeah. But from the other side of that, if that person don't see, well, what are you actually doing with your finances on your side, or are you actually saving or investing? So how are you gonna give me that type of advice if you're not actually following your own advice? Following the own or showing that, you know, because you're supposed to be able to um lead by example, and if they're not seeing that example, but they're just getting that type of advice, then they're like, well, then that's where the question may come in.

SPEAKER_16

Right.

SPEAKER_05

But if it's not but that sounds like a relationship that's just starting, like no. So if I don't understand then, like how how how is he supposed to lead? Right? So I'm trying to understand the scenario here, right? Like I'm trying to I'm coming from a point where he's coming in a relationship where he's already moving it a certain way. And I think the reason why she's interested, because she's interested because he's moving in that certain way. Right? That's why women get attracted to men, right? Because they see traits of him being doing things that's m possibly successful for him, and so that they're attracted to certain things that make him go in that particular direction. So they want to be a part of that. Yes?

SPEAKER_03

Sometimes sometimes they just see sex, right? See that they're a good looking person.

SPEAKER_05

So if that's the if that's the case, and I'm and I'm already on a trajectory, you come in in for sex, and it becomes it blossoms into something else, and I'm seeing things that doesn't align with the direction I'm going. My leadership at that point is say, hey, if you want to be on this ride with me, I think I can help you get on the same direction. And then start you now, you're questioning that direction is kind of crazy.

SPEAKER_03

Or have been able to point out things where they feel like you're not moving in a certain direction. And they're like, Well, how are you trying to do that?

SPEAKER_05

I've been I was moving in my own direction before you jumped on a ride.

SPEAKER_03

But they were too.

SPEAKER_05

Right. Right. So if you're in track, if you're attracted to me, right? And I'm just I'm saying this in a in a biased way because I'm saying they have to be attracted to the male. I'm not I'm not looking at it for the male to be attracted to a female because that that's a scenario too. But I'm not I'm not attacking it at that scenario. Yeah. Because of the quote. The quote saying they they want this man to lead, and then they question the direction of their leadership. So it's like if I'm on a if I'm on a path of where I'm going, good or bad, right? Something attracted to you you to me, right? Something attracted you to me, right? So if you if you see if you realize that my trajectory isn't where you think it is, get off the train at this point.

SPEAKER_03

But no, it nobody just hops off like, but it also doesn't mean that all of your somebody hops off, right? It doesn't mean that every aspect of it is wrong, right?

SPEAKER_05

Right, okay.

SPEAKER_03

You can be on a a positive trajectory on certain things in your life and for your relationship, which is fine, but then there could be other areas that you ain't so great at or you're falling off to, and they're like, Well, you don't got all your shit together, so I'm not just gonna put all my trust in your leadership because I don't see it a hundred percent.

SPEAKER_16

And at the same time, on that point that I wanted to say, like he said it perfectly how I wanted to wanted it to come out, but it doesn't mean that it's necessary a bad thing, it just comes upon the man who auto who automatically decides, well, you wanted me to lead, how dare you question me? That's why I'm like, well, y'all visions might not be the same. So she may be trying to figure it out, like, hey, this ain't this ain't what is given. But because the person is in their head, like, nah, this is what it is, that's just being stubborn, and that's how I took that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I I see. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_16

So yeah, so it's just like you have to look at yourself too.

SPEAKER_05

Right.

SPEAKER_16

That's it.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I get it.

SPEAKER_16

I mean, it's a that's why my so that's why I responded that way, because it might not be her, it might be the direction you given.

SPEAKER_05

Right.

SPEAKER_16

It's not working. We have people down the wrong path. Right.

SPEAKER_05

I'm sure that yeah, that happens all the time.

SPEAKER_16

Right. It's not a male attack, it's not a female attack. It's I said the direction is not right.

SPEAKER_02

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_03

That's it. And now on the other side of that, I do see the other side where you will have a man who has all this shit together being trying to be a leader in a relationship, and then you just have these females that just don't have no ambition. Right. Or they just don't want nobody to tell them. Yeah, that's the stance I was taking.

SPEAKER_05

I was taking that stance on a man that actually got something going for himself. Yeah. Um to where they it's it I and I'm sure it it's a couple thing, right? It's it's it's you gotta look at both views here. I was just taking a stance on the man's side, but yes, uh if you're in a relationship and you if the your your lady is saying, yo, I I know you and where you're going right now on that decision, I I don't think she I don't think that's right.

SPEAKER_16

Right. And yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

It's not like the whole leadership is being questioned, it's just that particular decision is not so I I get that.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, and that's why, and basically I said what I said because that was a general statement.

SPEAKER_05

Like, I lead, yeah, you know what I'm saying? And the response was so general, it's sort of like, well, what kind of directions you get? It was more like a it's like a combat a combative response. Like, why do you want to be combative? Like, bitch, I'm trying to lead. You wanted a leader.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, and and and off of knowing who's supposed to that, that's why my response was like that. Like, come on, we everybody, y'all need to stop checking y'all. That is very true, too. Y'all need to start checking yourself. That is very true.

SPEAKER_05

Sometimes it's not some of these quotes come from people that's not living in reality. Exactly.

SPEAKER_16

That's why I said it. I'm like, and then first of all, when you lead where bitches wanna know, yeah, that's your problem.

SPEAKER_05

The bitches right there through through the phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Because we not talking about bitches.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. So if you stop dating bitches and get your bitch, you try to leave bitches, the bitches is like fuck you in your direction.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly. Because sometimes that quote unquote leader, you need to look at what type of females you actually deal with. Exactly. And you want to be upset that they don't want to take your leadership with you.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. Real estate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very true. If you dealing with it does, it does uh requ uh require the like where it's coming from. Like the messenger. Like, you can't be taking that shit.

SPEAKER_16

You can't go with no shit, be dealing with a chick who calls herself an alpha female, then you ain't she ain't looking for nothing.

We don't give a fuck. That shows how much money we are like. Yeah. Greed would lead to domestic violence. I'll slap the shit out of you for.

SPEAKER_03

It don't even have to necessarily be greed. It's just a simple fact that, like, look at the people trying to survive. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But the fact they do it for free is is crazy. Like you're allowing yourself to get slapped. And these niggas on here proud. Like, I slapped this motherfucker free. Like, yo, you should not be on here saying that. That's why you're not the leader. You feel what I'm saying? Well, maybe they are because they're slapping their way through it. That's true.
