Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Changing Gender Roles and Stay-At-Home Boyfriends

Timestamp: 11:32–14:30

• Azar introduces the "stay-at-home boyfriend" trend, asking if the power dynamic fundamentally shifts when a woman is the primary provider.
• Paul plays with the idea but admits, “I got ambition too. I like to do stuff I like to do also.” (12:16)
• Azar breaks down the dynamics: whoever pays is often "in control." She asserts that, whether men realize it or not, breadwinners hold the authority: “As a woman, if a man's taking care of you and you need me to go do something, I have to go do it.” (13:20)
• Paul jokes about being labeled a “narcissist” when men provide, highlighting a double standard in breakups.

Timestamp: 14:49–16:55

• The hosts react to Kandi Burress allegedly having to pay her ex up to $2 million and give him cars and custody of the children.
• Paul calls it “baller for him… that’s a deal,” (15:09) while Azar says, “As a man, I just don’t respect that.” (15:19)
• A debate on whether it's fair for women to pay out in divorce like men typically do; Azar maintains men and women are fundamentally different and should have different standards.
• Both hosts agree that prenuptial agreements are essential, with Paul noting: “You always gonna be blowed [upset] 'cause you get blowed for the breakup.” (17:31)
• Notable quote: “That's why you should have a prenuptial agreement before you get married. That's what I think people need to do.” — Azar (16:55)

3. Financial Independence and Power Imbalance

Timestamp: 17:54–19:40

• Coco Jones’s comments: She’d “rather be homeless than rely on these men out here” because men can hold financial power over women. (17:57)
• Paul acknowledges there’s often a “power” dynamic when men finance a relationship, but believes, “it's too much on both sides.” (18:17)
• Azar: “No one likes to feel that feeling, honestly.”
• Paul: “You start looking at each other just crazy.” (19:08)

4. Men Matching 'Feminine' Energy: Sassy or Empowered?

Timestamp: 20:09–23:04

• Viral story: A man cancels a date because a woman won't pay for his haircut, outfit, and ride, flipping the script on “dating expectations.”
• Azar rants: “Stop trying to match the energy of a woman. You are not a woman, period, point blank. That is not cute… It is sassy, it is weird, and it is burnt out, and I'm tired of it.” (20:45)
• Paul’s take: “That's what we call pimping,” (22:55) but Azar pushes back, calling such behavior “sick.”
• The exchange lays bare the ongoing debate over what’s considered acceptable masculinity and whether double standards are fair.

• Both agree this is a severe breach of trust and personal autonomy, likening it to sexual violation.
• Notable quote: “The way it happened, this is damn near rape.” — Paul (34:26)

6. Trust Issues and Boundaries in Modern Relationships

Timestamp: 45:36–47:44

• Referencing Bun B., the hosts tackle the topic of trust: Why stay with someone you can't trust with your money or around your home?
• Paul: “Like, you supposed to be able to trust your partner. I think I dealt with that, just the non-trust factor... I was like, damn, I don't trust this motherfucker at my house when I'm not there.” (46:49)
• Azar: “You don't want to feel that way in a relationship.” (47:19)

Timestamp: 49:30–51:12

• Azar tests Paul with the question: Can men order lemon drops, or is it too “sassy”?
• Paul doesn’t hold back: “If my homie order a lemon drop, I'm be like, man, look at this bitch-ass nigga right here, dog… He can't kick it with us, dog. Get back on with that.” (49:30)

[Azar Faraday]

That's your stop. These men have to stop being so feminine. Stop competing with women. You are not a woman. Stop matching the energy of a woman. You are not a woman, period, point blank. That is not cute. Like, I don't care what you want to justify. We are two different species. I am a woman. I have a vagina, I bleed every month. You are a man. Stop trying to match the energy of a woman. It is sassy, it is weird, and it is burnt out. And I'm tired of it. And I'm tired of it because I'm tired of it. Men want to justify this. Well, I could say this. Would you want me to give you some lip gloss too? What you want me to bend you over to? What else do you want?

[Paul Pierce]

This is the taking over the game. All right, everybody. Welcome to Truth After Dark.

[Azar Faraday]

Do you think that men or women are more toxic? Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to another episode of the Truth After Dark. I am your host, Azar Faraday.

[Paul Pierce]

Paul A. Pierce in the building.

[Azar Faraday]

You got the feet out, the robe on, vibes going.

[Paul Pierce]

Okay, if I'm in a robe, what do I have to have shoes on for? Like, like, gentlemen, Let me ask y', all, when you wear a robe, do you have shoes on? Slippers, socks, What? What do you wear with. When you got your robe and you and your nighttime outfit? This is me, okay?

[Azar Faraday]

I'm not mad at it. Do your big one. Do your biggest one.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah, I got they legit. I got. I got some Lickables.

[Azar Faraday]

Some Lickables.

[Paul Pierce]

Is Lickables right here.

[Azar Faraday]

Lickables is wild.

[Paul Pierce]

Talk to me.

[Azar Faraday]

So basically, Uganda General says that men who kneel to propose will be arrested.

[Paul Pierce]

Ooh. We move into Uganda, he says that asap.

[Azar Faraday]

You shouldn't kneel to propose to a woman.

[Paul Pierce]

You should just already be sitting down.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah. He said that kneeling is crazy. As a man, he don't want to see no man kneeling to no woman. Basically, if you propose, you just are sitting down or you're standing but kneeling. He said it's rubbish and it's out of out. He's not dealing with that.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn.

[Azar Faraday]

And it's pissing him off just at the sight of it. So he's arresting people. That's.

[Paul Pierce]

In the other countries.

[Azar Faraday]

They just do anything.

[Paul Pierce]

That's what I'm saying. I need to go see these other cultures, how they do they thing. Because American culture is so basic at this point. Let's see how they do it in other countries. Like, what's the, you know, how do they. What's the date situation look like? Do you got to bring a gift? Probably not. Like what? Like. Like, do. Do the women, you know, come pick the man up?

[Azar Faraday]

Like how women don't have freedoms in other countries?

[Paul Pierce]

What you mean they don't have freedoms? They got freedom everywhere. Freedom is everywhere.

[Azar Faraday]

No, it's not. Do you know that in Iran, you can't even leave your house without a man. There's not freedom. And you have to educate yourself.

[Paul Pierce]

Out of one country, out of a

[Azar Faraday]

million, there's way more countries that are.

[Paul Pierce]

No, as a whole.

[Azar Faraday]

As a whole, so many countries do

[Paul Pierce]

not have just the countries that. So I'm speaking for me as a black man, that black men go to those countries.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah. I don't. I don't know what you're saying, but,

[Paul Pierce]

like, we go to the islands, we go to Africa, we go to Europe, Australia, certain parts of the Middle east, we kind of scared to go.

[Azar Faraday]

Right. But the point is, is like, yeah, these other countries also don't have the same freedom. And also this is the thing that I will say in other countries that just like women are raised to be different, I think the men there are different, too. The men are not dating women for three years and still contemplating if they want to be with them. Men are marrying these women immediately, very quickly. Yeah. That's what they're talking about. They're not playing games with women and making Them have baby mamas and babies and sitting up and saying they're not ready to marry you and do these things. These men are getting cracking culture, that's what I'm saying. So that's why it's different. That's why women act different, because the women are like, I know that this man is not playing with me. He's going to marry me. It's not a question in other cultures. That's not a question. It's not a question of, am I wasting my time with this man? It's not a question. Men are coming right up the bat.

[Paul Pierce]

That's why everybody moved to America, though, right?

[Azar Faraday]

But that's what I'm saying. That's why.

[Paul Pierce]

Because they don't like that pressure, but they not given the same type of influence, like American culture is with the TVs and the music and the celebrity of what America brings, the freedom where it's like, here, this is how we do over here in our country. This is it. We're not influenced by y'. All. This is what we do. And I can respect that, you know, and maybe it's better for families and. And staying together in a marriage, but we don't. What are television shows? Like, what. What positive shows? We ain't got the Cosbys no more. We ain't got the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. We ain't watching this stuff on TV no more. You know what I'm saying? So that's why I feel like if we ain't watching it and it ain't an influence on our televisions, on our Instagrams and stuff, that's changing. So, like, what shows can a young black man could watch to be like, damn, that's a great positive influence on my kids. Like, what shows we have today? Cause I was watching a lot of shows. I was watching Good Times, you know, it was always the mother, father structure in the black shows, for sure. You know what I'm saying? So what do we have now that can influence the kids of today in the black community to say, oh, this is the structure that I like, that I feel is positive, that I would like to move toward and work toward it and be. I wouldn't say something like this.

[Azar Faraday]

I wouldn't say that. There's a lot. I would say that, like Kenya Barris, he does a good job at trying to put that on tv. Like grownish Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson. They're married and they have adult family and kids, and they show that. But I will say and agree, it isn't it isn't a lot of influential shows like that anymore, you know, like living Single. Like all them shows are just not around anymore.

[Paul Pierce]

So, you know, it's about how many people you can date now and Sex in the City and.

[Azar Faraday]

Well, Sex and City's an old school show. That was my show. That was back in the day. That was my show from back in the day. That was such a good show. You want to know what's so funny about Sex in the City? And I want. People have been talking about this, actually, it's funny. You brought it up. So Carrie, who's the main character, the lady, she was the one that everyone was like, I want to be like Carrie, whatever, whatever, whatever. But everyone realizes now how toxic Carrie is and how everyone's like, Carrie is the last person we should have been trying to be like, because she's literally chasing men who don't want her. He's leaving her at the aisle. Marriage. They're supposed to be getting married.

[Paul Pierce]

I never watched Sex in the City.

[Azar Faraday]

Oh my God. Sex. I mean, you're a man, you probably wouldn't like it. But Sex and the City is sexy. So good to me. Except they rebooted it now and it's trash. But it was so good. But yeah, I feel like now women are realizing like, Carrie was toxic as hell. And the fact that we loved Carrie and thought she was popping is crazy. Cuz Carrie was so thirsty, so pressed for man chasing every man. He did not want her none.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn. I got you, dude.

[Azar Faraday]

Anyway, so moving on, um, there's what's trending right now, speaking of trending is stay at home boyfriends. So the woman is the provider and the man is at home cooking, cleaning, doing all the chores and the duties. And a lot of women are saying that they rocking with that right now. Stay at home boyfriends.

[Paul Pierce]

Boyfriends.

[Azar Faraday]

Do you think that if a woman is the provider, the dynamic shifts?

[Paul Pierce]

Well, if he's willing to do the little things like that, yeah. Why not? Shoot, I'm good with that.

[Azar Faraday]

Being a stay at home boyfriend. I don't think that you would be though. You say that, but I don't think that a man who is like a powerful man who likes to be.

[Paul Pierce]

Well, I got ambition too. I like to do stuff I like to do also.

[Azar Faraday]

Even just in a dynamic of a relationship. I feel like you would be like feeling away if a woman was paying for everything and like she had the control. Because it's like usually whoever pays for everything and like takes care of stuff. They're the Person you listen to. Okay, I'm listening to this person. They're in control. They're telling me what to do. They're taking leave.

[Paul Pierce]

They're in control of what?

[Azar Faraday]

Of a lot of stuff. You don't realize it, but it's true. You don't realize it because you've never been in the situation.

[Paul Pierce]

Well, I don't want to control nobody, and I don't want nobody to control me.

[Azar Faraday]

It's not. But you don't realize that even with the man who pays for things, a woman, and most women will say this, you're not necessarily controlling them, but you definitely feel like you answer to that person. You're available to that person. You, you know, like, period. Like, you're taking care of me. So I'm going to be available to you. I'm going to be there. Like, you're the priority. It's just like a job. If I'm not working a job, but a man is paying for my life, I'm going to give it the same attention. Like, I don't have to be at a job, so. But you are the job. Like, I'm going to make sure the person's. I'm available. I'm here. I'm this. So when that dynamic shift, the man has to be in that position. You don't know because you've never been taken care of by probably anybody. You know what I mean? So, like, the man being in the position of, like, yes, babe. Okay, you need me to go get this. You need me to go do this. Okay, drop everything. I'm doing. Like, your schedule don't matter. Like, as a woman, if a man's taking care of you and you need me to go do something, I have to go do it.

[Paul Pierce]

Then people start looking at it like, oh, he's controlling. When it starts getting bad, he's controlling. He's a narcissist.

[Azar Faraday]

You love this woman.

[Paul Pierce]

That's why women always call me a narcissist. When the men take care of the woman, and then when it start going bad, he the narcissist now. But you just explained, like, if a man take care of a woman, oh, you have to be available. All these things. And now you tell me this and that, but then when you start arguing, y' all break up. He's controlling. He's a narcissist.

[Azar Faraday]

And that's just a. That's not every woman. You say this all the time.

[Paul Pierce]

Every woman.

[Azar Faraday]

I've. I've never said that about any of my exes. Every breakup, I'VE never said that about any of my exes on this show or anything. Never said that. And those were the situations. So I never said that. Not every woman says that.

[Paul Pierce]

99% of them.

[Azar Faraday]

Some women understand that's what it is.

[Paul Pierce]

Like, let's do a survey. Let's do like on this show one day, let's do an open call and let's talk to any woman that has been through a breakup and ask them, was their boyfriend, their ex, a narcissist? Let's see how many out of ten say yes.

[Azar Faraday]

Okay. Speaking of women who are taking care of men, Candi Barris, she has to now pay her ex husband 500,000 and he walks away with five cars and he also gets custody of the children.

[Paul Pierce]

That's baller for him. That's baller. Okay, man, that's a deal.

[Azar Faraday]

As a man, I just don't respect that.

[Paul Pierce]

How you don't respect that because it's just like why he can't get his kids, some cars and some bread from the woman.

[Azar Faraday]

I just think it's just burnt out

[Paul Pierce]

when women do it.

[Azar Faraday]

Every women and men are different. Men are not supposed to be like women and women are not supposed to be like men.

[Paul Pierce]

Well, she's clearly the breadwinner and so clearly she was taking care of him. So clearly, when we break apart, this is what's run me something because I was like, you know, I was living this lifestyle with you, you know, that ain't even in my heart.

[Azar Faraday]

Ass.

[Paul Pierce]

It was some cars, some material. I mean, the kids, she probably like, shoot, I can live my best life now anyway and I'm always going to be able to see my kids. They probably going to live right down the street from each other or whatever, you know, so it's all to the goodie. And she probably wanted it like that. It ain't. It ain't.

[Azar Faraday]

She did not want to pay this man 500,000. She actually, I think now it came out that she has to pay him 2 million over the course of like some time.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah, yeah, that's probably going to be over the course of like four years or five years though. It ain't just here. That's how that works. You know what I'm saying? When you paying now, you ain't got.

[Azar Faraday]

I'd be blowed if I like. I'll be blowed. That's why I can get it.

[Paul Pierce]

I'm blowed right now.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, that's.

[Paul Pierce]

I'm blowed right now.

[Azar Faraday]

No, I get that because honestly, that's what I had to do honestly.

[Paul Pierce]

And I'm blowed.

[Azar Faraday]

I would have been blown by that. Like, even as a. Even as a man, I'm blowed by a man or a woman. I'm blown away by that.

[Paul Pierce]

I'm blown.

[Azar Faraday]

And that's why, like, you should have a prenuptial agreement before you get married. That's what I think people need to do. You should come to a term.

[Paul Pierce]

Let's see, what you gotta understand. There probably was a prenup, but you gotta understand, like, people who have money, when they. With their partner, they'd be like, all right, if you with me this many amount of years, if we divorce, you can have this.

[Azar Faraday]

That's what I'm saying. That's a part of the prenup. So it is a preup. But what I'm saying is you're not

[Paul Pierce]

getting half, but you can get this.

[Azar Faraday]

But if you're blowed, then you made a wrong prenup. You should make something that you feel comfortable with.

[Paul Pierce]

No, it's just you always gonna be blowed. Cause you don't. You get blowed for the breakup.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

You know what I'm saying? The breakup gonna blow you.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

So it don't matter how much it is. It's gonna blow you. Because you never expected it to get there. You know what I'm saying? So it don't matter the amount of money.

[Azar Faraday]

I understand that. You know what I'm saying?

[Paul Pierce]

You just blow that. Like it had to.

[Azar Faraday]

You blow. You blow. Yeah, for sure. So Coco Jones actually came out. You know, she's married or engaged to

[Paul Pierce]

the basket Donovan Mitchell.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

Okay.

[Azar Faraday]

So she said that she'd actually rather be homeless than to rely on these men out here because she feels like men will put that shit over your head, make you feel away, dangle it, give you something, then don't give it to you, then give it. Say they're going to do something, and then they don't. And she said, and it just has her.

[Paul Pierce]

She's blown because she don't play with the homeless shit. The homeless is not where you would not rather be homeless. You would not rather be homeless. You would rather be downgraded on your situation now, but not homeless. You'd rather be downgraded on your situation now where you currently are as a star. You probably got a crib or a nice high ride or whatever. However you live now. You'd rather be downgraded, but not homeless. Don't put the homeless in something different. But I get what she's saying. You know, men, when they do that. They take care of women. They put they self in a position to where they think they just have so much power. To where it gets to the point in relationship to where it's demanding. It's. It's too much on both. It's on both sides too. And it just. You start looking at each other just crazy.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, for sure.

[Paul Pierce]

And it's just not a good feeling for a woman. And a man too. Because now, you know, the man started looking down on the woman.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, I can see that.

[Paul Pierce]

You know, when things ain't right because he do everything and take care of everything. And then when somebody ain't doing, it's just. It just causes controversy. And that's what she's saying. She rather be homeless than have a man dangling stuff over her head doing everything like, you know what I'm saying?

[Azar Faraday]

Tough. No one likes to feel that feeling, honestly, like.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah. So I, you know, I see what she's saying though.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, I get it 100%. Um, so there's a man who said he's going viral. Cause he said he had to cancel a date with a woman because he asked her to pay for his haircut outfit and send her. Send him a ride.

[Paul Pierce]

That's boss. She canceled the date.

[Azar Faraday]

These men are so feminine these days.

[Paul Pierce]

She canceled the date. Who canceled the date?

[Azar Faraday]

He did.

[Paul Pierce]

He was like, hey, check this out.

[Azar Faraday]

Hey, you have to pay for my haircut outfit.

[Paul Pierce]

So we met out like, hey, shorty, how you doing? Damn, you looking good tonight. You want a drink? Hey, you know, let me take you to dinner. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Get the number here, give me your number. Boom. All right, cool. So then he hit her like, aye, so look, let's go out. But I'm gonna need this. I'm gonna need you to take care of my cut. Can you give me an Uber at this time? And I wanna eat here. So basically, he just asked for all the things that a girl wants on the date for the guy. Cause girls be like, hey, if you want me to go out, can you get my hair?

[Azar Faraday]

You're not a girl, bro. It's just a double standard. That's your stop. These men have to stop being so feminine. Stop competing with women. You are not a woman. Stop matching the energy of a woman. You are not a woman, period, point blank. That is not cute. Like, I don't care what you want to justify. We are two different species. I am a woman. I have a vagina. I bleed every month. You are a man. Stop trying to match the energy of a woman. It is sassy, it is weird, and it is burnt out, and I'm tired of it. And I'm tired of it because I'm tired of it. Men want to justify this? Well, I could say this. Would you want me to give you some lip gloss, too? You want me to bend you over, too? What else do you want? Do you want me to text you first and call you princess? Like, what else do you want? Stop trying to be a woman, period. Because the moment that a woman is too masculine or she's doing some old aggressive shit, it's disgusting to y'. All. And just how that's disgusting to us. Disgusting to y'. All. It's disgusting to us, too. It's. It's disgusting when a girl's aggressive with you. Hey, come here. I want to take you. You're like, that's nasty. And it's the same thing we feel about y'. All. Nasty. Stop trying to be a woman, you weird motherfuckers. Like, I'm sick of it.

[Paul Pierce]

Okay? She got out of that one because

[Azar Faraday]

it's so tired of seeing me.

[Paul Pierce]

Hey, can you get my cut?

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, like, no. Can you send me a ride? Imagine a grown ass man sending you a text message. Send me an Uber. What you. What about you? A. You gonna think that that's you? What kind of. What kind of bitch is you? That sounds crazy.

[Paul Pierce]

That sound crazy.

[Azar Faraday]

That sounds crazy. So stop. Because we men don't want a woman to act like them, and we don't want y' all to act like us.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn, that's real.

[Azar Faraday]

Like, that's burnt out. And the reason I get upset is. Cause I see it all the time with these men, and they wonder like,

[Paul Pierce]

baby, okay, that's the new wave now. Guys is just going in like, hey, open the car door for me.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, that's sickening. I'm cool on that. I'm cool on that. And y' all think it's cute to be sitting on the Internet talking about this. And you wonder why men these days can't.

[Paul Pierce]

Like, that's just pimping.

[Azar Faraday]

That's not pimping.

[Paul Pierce]

That's just.

[Azar Faraday]

That's not pimping, girl.

[Paul Pierce]

That is. That's just pimping.

[Azar Faraday]

No, it's not.

[Paul Pierce]

No, it's not pimping, girl. That's what that is.

[Azar Faraday]

That's just really sick.

[Paul Pierce]

Ah, it's calling what you call sassy and feminine. We call it pimping.

[Azar Faraday]

Nah, that ain't. You know, these men can't even fix nothing no more. They don't go Out.

[Paul Pierce]

I'm. Have her fix it. Go ahead. Make. Change that tire, girl.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, that's sick. That's sick to me. That's sick to me. Anyways.

[Paul Pierce]

Oh, man, that's pimping. That's one on one pimping to me.

[Azar Faraday]

No, it's not. So basically, there's this story. So this story is crazy. So there is this couple on Instagram or whatever, right? And basically she. So the.

[Paul Pierce]

The.

[Azar Faraday]

The husband goes to work or whatever, and he comes back to work, and when he pulls up at the house, he records because he sees his dad's car in the driveway and he's like. Goes into the house and he starts recording. He's like, you've been at my house for three times this week while I'm not here, and you didn't tell me you was coming to my house. The wife or the girlfriend, whatever, is in the kitchen with booty shorts on frying chicken, and the dad is sitting on the table eating the fried chicken.

[Paul Pierce]

So this is a black people.

[Azar Faraday]

This is a black people situation.

[Paul Pierce]

You're making fried chicken, right?

[Azar Faraday]

So she's in other races make fried chicken. But I. So she's in there in the kitchen with booty shorts on, cheeks hanging out, and she's frying the chicken. He's sitting on the table eating the chicken. When he comes in there. It's the third time this week I done got off work, pulled in my driveway and. And my daddy in my goddamn house,

[Paul Pierce]

all right?

[Azar Faraday]

Telling me he gonna be in my goddamn house.

[Paul Pierce]

What we got going on here, huh?

[Azar Faraday]

Get the camera on my face. What we got? What we got going on here, huh?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What y'.

[Paul Pierce]

All.

[Azar Faraday]

Hey, don't Junior me, man. Don't junior me, man. It's your third time this week popping up in my mothering house without letting me know you gonna pop up, huh? You eat chicken and you got these little ass shorts on. What's wrong with y', all, man? What the hell y' all got going on? You got your legs wide open drinking it. You know, I ain't tripping. You think I'm stupid or something? What the y' all got going on?

[Lily Herman]

Stupid?

[Azar Faraday]

I'm in my house. I don't give a damn what say, say, man.

[Lily Herman]

What?

[Azar Faraday]

What?

[Paul Pierce]

What? What's going on, huh?

[Azar Faraday]

I'm frying chicken for my man. That's it. And why are you recording? Get the camera. Well, your man just got you. So the dad. So the son is like, listen, you got to get up out of here. You've been coming over here not Asking me, you trifling. The wife is like, you talking to him crazy. Defending the dad. The dad is like, my mama gave you this house. I'll come to this house whenever I want to come to this house. And he's like, you in this house. Y' all on some weird shit. I feel like y' all fucking around. Like he's like tripping him. And the dad starts squabbling up, squabbling up. The wife is defending the dad the whole time, even fighting, like, stop. You need to leave the house. Talking to her man. Defending the father. So what is your thoughts on that? This is crazy.

[Paul Pierce]

Cause every time I'm the son and I come home, my dad is in the kitchen eating some fried chicken and

[Azar Faraday]

your girl is in pity.

[Paul Pierce]

Putting my girl in some shorts like these that I only like to see her in. Only I like to see her in. I'm like, hey, you know, we gotta. Dad, we gotta have a conversation, dawg. Like, what's going on? My boy?

[Azar Faraday]

Like, listen, dog, he tried to. But the dad was like, hey, I'm not leaving this house. My mama gave you this house.

[Paul Pierce]

You disrespectful now, dad. Yeah, you not respecting me. So we gotta have a grown man conversation. I can't just go straight to violence. You know what I'm saying? It can't be a rah, rah, rah. You gotta approach shit as an adult. So you just have a conversation like that. You know what? I feel like you crossing the line. This is my girl. And then I'm gonna tap her. She gotta be right here too. Like, I don't appreciate you. So when I tell her I don't appreciate you allowing that. I don't want my dad to be here when I'm not here and you making him, fool. So look, I'm gonna tell what I wanna say right now. If it happened again, then this is it. We done. I'm putting up boundaries.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

Once I put my boundaries up. Yeah, then don't cross that.

[Azar Faraday]

Do you feel? Because he kind of did come in and was like, hey, what's going on? Like, I'm not comfortable with this situation. And the dad kind of escalated. And the dad is the one who threw the first punch. And the daughter, I mean, like, not the daughter. The girlfriend was the one like, overly defending the dad and was like, you can't do that.

[Paul Pierce]

What you doing?

[Azar Faraday]

He was like, nigga, nah. He went, no. They was going back and forth for a minute and he was like, I need you to leave. I'm not to going Comfortable with this. This is the third time this week you over here without telling me. And you kicking it with my girl.

[Paul Pierce]

What's going on? Definitely. He definitely moved in already. He didn't already. Definitely did something with the girl.

[Azar Faraday]

I think they did. The girl is in a shirt cropped like this and booty shorts.

[Paul Pierce]

He's definitely did something with the girl. How do he know? Why are you coming over when I'm not here?

[Azar Faraday]

And then she's asking the girl, what are you doing? And she's like, I'm making chicken for my man. But talking about him. But everyone's like, she just told on herself. She talked about that dad.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah.

[Azar Faraday]

Like she's cooking for him.

[Paul Pierce]

That's wild, dog. That's. That's trifling.

[Azar Faraday]

But people do stuff like that in this world. That's trifling.

[Paul Pierce]

Trifling, bro. Go home to mom. Or don't you got a girl dad or something? Why are you moving in on me?

[Azar Faraday]

And then. Yeah, he was. He. Then he tried to blasted the dad, like. And. And that's why you told me. I guess the dad told the son of, I got a young girl just like the ago girlfriend.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn.

[Azar Faraday]

Don't start saying that weird stuff. Because that's what the son was saying.

[Paul Pierce]

You gotta set the boundaries if you live in this house. I don't care who got. I live here. So respect that. It's about a respect thing as adults that you gotta be like, I'm not having this. First of all, you can't even be over here, dad, when my girl's here, period. And I'm not here, period. Like, I don't like this. I'm uncomfortable.

[Azar Faraday]

Exactly.

[Paul Pierce]

So because of the fact that you got a young girlfriend and she's doing all this. They both trifling, though.

[Azar Faraday]

I think the girl is trifling too. People are on the girl in the comments. Cause they're like, yo, why are you not defending your man? You defending this dad is crazy.

[Paul Pierce]

So won't y' all just move out? See, that's gonna be crazy. Cause the dad gonna kick him out and then live with the girl.

[Azar Faraday]

Right?

[Paul Pierce]

Like this my crib.

[Azar Faraday]

But it's not his dad's crib. Cause the mom gave it to the son. But she's acting like it's my mom, though.

[Paul Pierce]

Right, right, right.

[Azar Faraday]

You know what I mean? I'm not leaving here. So what is your thoughts on. So this is another thing. Have you seen, like, let's say you're in a relationship and like, you go around like someone's like, your family or her family or, like, whatever friends and, like, older men are there and they're, like, kept like, oh, you know how. Like, men would be like, oh, you did your big one. Praising you, like, about the girl. Does that feel disrespectful to you? Like, you doing too much?

[Paul Pierce]

If I bring my girl around anywhere,

[Azar Faraday]

you guys could go anywhere. It could be around friends, it could be around. But there's, like, other men there, and they're like, keep praising you for, like, you know how men be like, oh, you did your big one. You did it.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah, yeah.

[Azar Faraday]

Like, you got a bad one. Oh, you better not lose this one. You better not. Because some men will be like, that's doing too much. Because now you just showing my girl that, you Honor. Does that bother you, or is that whatever to you?

[Paul Pierce]

I think that's whatever to me.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

Because the people I'm gonna be around, it's gonna be no ill intentions.

[Azar Faraday]

But what if it's like, y' all went around her friends and her friend's family, and you don't really know them, but they over there like, go, yeah, you did your big one. Da, da, da, da.

[Paul Pierce]

I'm like, yeah, yeah, nigga, I did my big one. Yeah, okay, Right, right. Yeah, I like that.

[Azar Faraday]

Okay, okay.

[Paul Pierce]

I ain't tripping off of that.

[Azar Faraday]

Okay, okay.

[Paul Pierce]

Just don't cross the line. Don't do it in front of me.

[Azar Faraday]

Right?

[Paul Pierce]

You know, and if I find out, then that's where the issue gonna come in. Nah, they can. That's love. That's just love, you know, Cass, you probably at a party, everybody drinking, like, ooh, damn. That's his girl. Hey, you. Hey. You did that, like, all right, that's cool. But you don't know what I gotta deal with at home. This motherfucker, this bitch. I'm gonna smile in public, then go home and be arguing all the damn time.

[Azar Faraday]

I'm crying. Okay, so a dying wife, she's in the hospital. She's dying. She asked her husband if she could sleep with her ex one last time.

[Paul Pierce]

You dying? Where you at? Dying in the hospital, girl, if you

[Azar Faraday]

don't stop, you're not gonna let her.

[Paul Pierce]

You know what? You pay for your own funeral.

[Azar Faraday]

She's dead. How's she gonna pay for her own funeral?

[Paul Pierce]

No, she's dying.

[Azar Faraday]

I mean, she's dying.

[Paul Pierce]

Pay for your own funeral, and you get no more visitation from me. I will allow that. If that's your last wish. If that's your last wish, then it's gonna be without Me?

[Azar Faraday]

That's so crazy. If that's someone's last wish. If I'm messing with you and you come to me and you're dying and I've been by your bedside and you

[Paul Pierce]

like, I wanna be with my ex one last time.

[Azar Faraday]

What else can I be with my ex one last. I'm never talking to you again.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah, I'm gonna be like, yeah, you could talk to him, you know, As a matter of fact, you want me to call him on speaker right now? Okay, I'm out and I'm not coming back. So.

[Azar Faraday]

Tell you what, if she's like, I want you guys both here.

[Paul Pierce]

That's your dying wish. Yeah, no, that's not happening. I'm be like, you know what? Let's pull the plug on her, guys. Let's get her up out of here early. She talking crazy. She's lost her goddamn mind. She's lost her goddamn mind.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, I agree. I agree with that. That would be so disrespectful. I can only imagine how I would feel. I'll be like, wow, so this whole time, you. You just was waiting to have sex with your ex again, and now you're dying and that's all you could think about? You're blowing me now. I could ever. I'm done just for asking the question by. Do what you want.

[Paul Pierce]

Do you?

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah. Pull the blood.

[Paul Pierce]

I got to see what's in her iv, though. It might be some heavy medication. I might let it slide. I have to ask the doctors, but

[Azar Faraday]

if it's right, because, you know, you on the drugs, you might say.

[Paul Pierce]

You might say some crazy shit.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

So, well, I got to see.

[Azar Faraday]

So. Deontay Wilder. Is that how you say his name?

[Paul Pierce]

Oh, yeah. D. Wilder.

[Azar Faraday]

So. So. So there's been two people that just came out and said the same thing. I forgot the other person, and I have to look it up, but I know for sure it was Deontay Wilder. He came out and he said that his daughter's mother set him up by injecting his sperm. Her. His sperm into her. And someone else famous just came out and said the same exact thing. This is two people who came out with this.

[Paul Pierce]

How did it. How. How do you eject his sperm?

[Azar Faraday]

Someone else came out with this too, but, yeah, it's the real thing. That's how, like, lesbians and stuff get pregnant. Like, you can inject someone's sperm.

[Paul Pierce]

What did he say? What did he say again?

[Azar Faraday]

He said that she went. And she went into. Got his sperm or whatever from the Condom.

[Paul Pierce]

No, she sprayed. He sprayed it on the. On the stomach. That's what he said.

[Azar Faraday]

Oh, sprayed on the stomach. And then you tell the other person was the condom. Yeah. And then you.

[Paul Pierce]

When she went to the bathroom was like, on some whoopty whoop.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah. You can inject it or she. You can have a syringe thing.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn. That's what they. That. That was. That's tried.

[Azar Faraday]

That's a real thing. People do that.

[Paul Pierce]

That's trifling.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, that's a real thing.

[Paul Pierce]

If that really happened, like. Like, there should be a law that, like, I don't have to support this child.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, that's right.

[Paul Pierce]

There should be a law, like, I shouldn't have to pay child support if this don't work out.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

The way it happened, this. This is damn near rape.

[Azar Faraday]

I mean. Yeah, it is a form of, like, abuse.

[Paul Pierce]

That's a form of, like, rape or abuse. It's a form of something that's nice. Violation of you.

[Azar Faraday]

I agree. And I think that women don't get held accountable enough for abusive behavior, period. Men do, but not women. And I think that that is a. That is very foul. That is very foul. Like, that is a very low blow. And he is the second person I saw recently say this. It was another celebrity that said this, too. And they both have daughters or kids with these people, and they might not be with them anymore, but, like, now I have to support a kid that I was responsible enough not to create. But you went behind my back and you did this.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah.

[Azar Faraday]

I think that that is so foul.

[Paul Pierce]

That's super foul.

[Azar Faraday]

You know what I mean?

[Paul Pierce]

And I should be some type of law put in for that.

[Azar Faraday]

No, it should. And I think it's equivalent to men putting holes in condoms and stuff on purpose.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah.

[Azar Faraday]

Because that has happened. Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah, for sure. That.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah. And I feel like that's crazy. Really disrespectful. Really disrespectful. And I feel so horrible about anyone who has to deal with that. And again, this is the second person I've heard say that recently.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn. That's. That's a wild story.

[Azar Faraday]

So moving on from that crazy stuff.

[Paul Pierce]

That is crazy.

[Azar Faraday]

Speaking of toxic. So you know Boris Kojo and Nicole. Ari Parker. So Boris recently told a story about how they met and they were working on set together, basically, and that's how they met.

[Paul Pierce]

Right.

[Azar Faraday]

Working on a show. And obviously he's like, she was so beautiful to me. Whatever. He's obviously extremely attractive. And I feel like they both just were. They're a Beautiful, gorgeous couple, and they both just were vibing or whatever. But Nicole was engaged, and she had a whole nother man, and she was engaged to a man when they met. So she said. He said that one day he came into her, like, trailer and told her, like, you're gonna be my wife and we're gonna have kids. And he said that she didn't talk to him for two weeks because she was so mad. She was like, you disrespected me. I'm engaged. The fact that you would come in here and say that is crazy. And she was super, super upset. And so. But he was like, I just knew. Like, when you meet someone and you just know. You just know. He was like, I knew she was going to be my wife no matter what obstacles were in the way, no matter what, if she was engaged, no matter what she had going on, like, I was like, this is going to be my wife, period. And now they've been together for however long. Wow, that's a crazy story.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn.

[Azar Faraday]

Because, like, to be bold enough to, like.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn. And then you get to spend all this time with her on set to change that mind. That's where a lot of relationships happen at all, in these movie sets. That's why when you married and your husband or your wife on a movie set with one of these top actors or whoever, and y' all on set, and y' all been in there with each other for, like, the next three months, seeing each other every day, and

[Azar Faraday]

they were a couple on the show.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah. So you start feeling that. That's why. That's why you see a lot of Hollywood couples be with. Well, think about who they've been on set with.

[Azar Faraday]

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah. They made a move.

[Azar Faraday]

He was with another woman. He was with Jennifer Aniston, and he left her for Angelina Jolie. That working environment, probably after they did

[Paul Pierce]

that one movie, Mr. And Mrs. Smith.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah. I think that's what it was. It was them on set during that. That's where you start to. You know, it's a movie, it's a show. You're acting, but you're spending all this time with yourself.

[Paul Pierce]

Spending a lot of time, you and them. Lunches, dinners, breaks, and you right there with them.

[Azar Faraday]

And what would you do if you were in a relationship and your woman was an actress and she was like, I'm about to do this movie, but it's a love scene. It's someone, like, super attractive that, like, everyone loves, and he's gonna be my love interest. Would you be like, Nah, you don't need to take that role.

[Paul Pierce]

I don't think you can, like, say

[Azar Faraday]

no in the middle. Yeah, you can't say no.

[Paul Pierce]

You just have to see she working and she doing her big one. She on the big screen and it just. I just gotta, you know, support her. You know, if she want me there or don't want me there, I gotta respect that. And it is what it is. A lot of cats be losing their wives and husbands to these movies too. Like, hey, hold on. She on the same lair dog. Y' all need to do a stand in for that. You gotta do a extra, what they call them. Like, you can't do the kissing scene with the main star. You gotta do the. The double. You got to do it like a stunt double. Yeah, yeah, you really tricky. If she fall in love with the double instead of the main character. That's crazy. Like, damn, that's wild. That's crazy.

[Azar Faraday]

Speaking of, like, being engaged, Future said he's engaged now and he's leaving his toxic ways behind. And you know, Future is like the king of toxic. Everyone knows him, invented it. Yeah, he invented the toxic. But he said he's not.

[Paul Pierce]

He's the face of the toxic error.

[Azar Faraday]

He said he's not on that. He's engaged, he's in love.

[Paul Pierce]

Engaged right now.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, that's what he said. He's engaged, he's in love, and he's leaving his toxic ways behind, period.

[Paul Pierce]

Well, yeah, you got to see what the other side look like. You've been on one side for so long, you gonna go to the other side, see how that work out. And if that don't work out, you jump back to the other side. So. But, you know, I wish him the best. I hope, you know, people, men start getting older and they start realizing this ain't it. Yeah, but then when you institutionalized, most people institutionalized, they get out of jail and what happened, they go right back. So hopefully this work out though, you know, so he can just see what the other side is like. It's more peaceful, you know, I'll tell you that. It's less stressful. It's less. And it may. I don't know if it costs more. What costs more? Relationship or toxicity?

[Azar Faraday]

Both.

[Paul Pierce]

Both. Both cost.

[Azar Faraday]

Both costs.

[Paul Pierce]

So good luck. The Future man. I hope it all work out. Maybe he can come on the show and talk about it.

[Azar Faraday]

I would love that. I don't even ever see Future on any shows or podcasts.

[Paul Pierce]

Let's get Future on here, man.

[Azar Faraday]

Let's get Future out of Here. Okay, so Lakia, she's an artist. She was on Justin La Boy's podcast and she talked about relationship rules that are non negotiable. She said, number one was no communication with her friends. So if we're in a relationship, you could not communicate with my friends. Why are you communicating with my friends without me? Basically, I don't really agree with that one. I thought that that was a strange one.

[Paul Pierce]

That's insecure.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah. Like, what do you mean? First of all, you don't trust your friends.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah.

[Azar Faraday]

You have weird. Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

What type of friends you have?

[Azar Faraday]

What kind of friends? Cause my friends, I know if they're talking to my man or whoever, it's a very. Like, it's not none of that.

[Paul Pierce]

Well, it's not a daily basis where you talking to each other's friends either.

[Azar Faraday]

But that's wild if it's just no

[Paul Pierce]

communication, because it just. It could be like, damn, hey, do you know where my girl is? I've been looking for her. Or what is she, like, her birthday's coming up or, you know, it's all type of stuff you like, hey, let me call her homegirl. Yeah, it's gotta be a certain type of communication to where you might, like, be like, hey, you think she'll like this?

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, I think it's good to be able to have that communication.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah.

[Azar Faraday]

That you're able to call someone and be like, hey, this and that. Or something happens and you call them like, I think that that's cool. I think that maybe a daily basis communication is wild.

[Paul Pierce]

No, that's wild.

[Azar Faraday]

But like, not, don't hit my friend.

[Paul Pierce]

Be like, what you doing, though?

[Azar Faraday]

That's why what you doing? What you doing is blowing me.

[Paul Pierce]

Oh, I just wanted to see what you was doing. I was just making sure Exactly. Exactly what you doing to the homegirl.

[Azar Faraday]

That was.

[Paul Pierce]

Oh, I was just seeing you was out tonight. I didn't mind. My girl ain't here tonight. I was just seeing if you was out. If y' all was out.

[Azar Faraday]

I would lose it if I found out my friend talking about what you doing? And y' all texting just on some regular.

[Paul Pierce]

What if you see your homegirl and she got a text from your man, said, what you doing? But she didn't respond, but she was like, look, girl, what should I say?

[Azar Faraday]

Oh, I'mma see right here. I'mma text you with him, say, just chilling at the house, what are you doing? And then I'm gonna see what this man is talking about. Why you texting my friend right Cause that's what I'm gonna do. Text me. What you doing? Okay. Text him back. Just chilling. What are you doing?

[Paul Pierce]

Oh, man.

[Azar Faraday]

Just chilling. So let me tell you what's so crazy. Let me tell you what's so crazy. So there's this, like, guy who goes out in public or whatever, and he's like, call your best friend's boyfriend. So, like, it'll be two girls, right? And he'll do it. Sometimes the man will just be like, what are you talking about? But, like, there's a scenario that happened, so where it's two girls, they're best friends, you know what I'm saying? And she's like, call your best friend's boyfriend. And she's like, all right. So he calls, he's like, hey, what are you doing? He's like, what's up? Where you at? And basically, boom. Cracking. She was like, I'm at home chilling. He's like, all right, you want me to pull up? Yeah. And basically it exposed that they already been messing around behind your back. Let me say something. If I have friends that are not like this, so I don't have to worry about this, but if I ever catch one of these friends of mine doing anything with someone I'm in a relationship with, I don't like to fight.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn.

[Azar Faraday]

But baby, I'm coming out of retirement and I'm beating that ass.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn. Coming out of retirement.

[Azar Faraday]

I'm beating your ass down to the ground.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn.

[Azar Faraday]

And it's over for everybody. It's over for everybody. It's over for everybody. That's like the biggest disrespect that is.

[Paul Pierce]

That's crazy.

[Azar Faraday]

Like, it's the biggest disrespect ever to me, period.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn. That is. That's shadiest.

[Azar Faraday]

So some of her other things was she feels like communication constantly is a non negotiable. Like, I know your routine. Call me. Go, you're going to bed. Another thing is she said, no bare minimum treatment. Like, you can't treat me like I'm a bare minimum broad, basically.

[Paul Pierce]

What does that mean?

[Azar Faraday]

So bare minimum is just like, you know, effort, lack of effort. Like, you just. Whatever. Cool. You not trying to make an effort to like show up in the relationship, basically. Like, you're just comfortable. Like, whatever, bare minimum. Like, it's my birthday and you just like, happy birthday.

[Paul Pierce]

Like, ain't nobody doing this.

[Azar Faraday]

People do this.

[Paul Pierce]

Like, people do this minimum bare. So just dinner will blow you.

[Azar Faraday]

No, I mean, not me.

[Paul Pierce]

No, I'm just saying her.

[Azar Faraday]

That's the bare Minimum. Yeah, yeah. Like she. That's gonna blow her. That's what she's saying. Like, just not really, really doing nothing. Not really caring. Not really. Like, that's a no, no go for her. So I feel like I think those are pretty decent, but I think the no communication with my friends is the weird one for me.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah, I don't mind that. Not no communication, but like, you know, it's minimum. Unless it's just something like, you can talk to my friends. As long as there's something geared toward me.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

You know what I'm saying? So that's it.

[Azar Faraday]

So that ain't.

[Paul Pierce]

That ain't. That's too much.

[Azar Faraday]

So Bun B. Was saying that he doesn't understand why people are with someone that they don't trust. He's saying that, like, why would you stay in a relationship where you feel like you have to watch someone? He's like, I have things in my house and like, money and different things and stuff like that. And he's like, if I'm with a woman and I can't trust her to be at my house alone with. Why are people in those type of relationships? He was like, let's say something happens. And I'm like, yo, it's an emergency. I need you to get this right now. He was like, if I can't do that with my girl because I have to hide it from her too. He was like, I just feel like I would never want to be in that type of relationship.

[Paul Pierce]

Damn.

[Azar Faraday]

And he's like, I feel like a lot of people are with people that they don't trust.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah, for sure.

[Azar Faraday]

He was like, I know my homeboys be like at they house trying to hide shit from their girl and money and this and that. And it's like, if you have to hide money from your girl, that ain't your girl. Like, you shouldn't even be with her for real, huh? Period. He's like, if I can't have you in my house alone and not trust that you're not going to be stealing from me or doing weird stuff, right? Why would I be in that relationship? He said he don't understand people like that. He's like, the vagina ain't that good, right?

[Paul Pierce]

Damn, that's real.

[Azar Faraday]

What do you think of that?

[Paul Pierce]

I agree. Like, you supposed to be able to trust your partner. I think I dealt with that. Just the non trust factor. Yeah, that definitely was something. I was like, damn, I don't trust this motherfucker at my house when I'm not There.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

Just. Cause it's always something.

[Azar Faraday]

Yes, exactly.

[Paul Pierce]

And it's just like, damn, why you going through this? Or like, I don't know what it is. It's like, damn, I had this here. Why you take that? Like it's something like that's untrust and that's not cool spot. When you're in a relationship. Yeah.

[Azar Faraday]

And you don't feel good because even if you leave them at your house and you're going somewhere now, you think paranoid. Are they going through my stuff? Are they there doing something like, you don't want to feel that way in a relationship. I feel like that's not good.

[Paul Pierce]

Yeah. That ain't cool. Yeah. That's like, if you stand in that, then you gonna have a headache at the end of the day. That ain't a good situation. That's not a good. You don't feel safe. That's not a good safe spot.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah, for sure. I feel that. Dr. Cheyenne Bryant was talking about how

[Paul Pierce]

our good friend Dr. Cheyenne Bryant. What's up, girl?

[Azar Faraday]

I love Dr. Dr. Cheyenne. But she was talking about recently how emotional intelligence is the foundation of a healthy relationship. Do you agree with that? Because I know we've talked about this before.

[Paul Pierce]

Is that the foundation?

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

Well, the foundation of a relationship is trust. You know, it's got to be built on some type of trust because emotional is great, but like, you're going to have some disagreements to where you might say something you don't mean. And that happens.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

You know, and you got to check your emotions, but at the same time, you gotta. It's gotta be. That's just one thing that she's talking about. And you know, relationships are. Are, you know, but, you know, different people have different foundations.

[Azar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Paul Pierce]

You know, some people like to build their house in the hills or on the sand or, you know, it's just like wherever you want to build your house, but you know, you can't. You build it on the beach. You got to look out for them tidal waves and them tsunamis coming, you know, thinking it's gonna be a cool breeze. You build your shit on a. On a mountain high. You think it's on a. It's looking look good and safe and all pretty. But then an earthquake come. You gotta build it on steady ground. And steady ground. Is that Trust?

[Azar Faraday]

Facts, facts. 100%. I agree. Last question. This is a question that's like going viral. Are ladies okay with a man ordering a lemon drop or is it sassy? I think it's okay. When I say men Being, like, trying to be feminine. It's way deeper than men.

[Paul Pierce]

If my homie order a lemon drop, I'm be like, man, look at this bitch ass nigga right here, dog. Man, we ain't doing that tonight, man. This nigga right here, dawg. Dog, who paying for that?

[Azar Faraday]

I'm crying.

[Paul Pierce]

He can't kick it with us, dog. Get back on with that. That's weak as hell. Give that to the girl. We ain't doing that. We not doing that tonight. If we gonna be out throwing something back, it ain't gonna be that. Nah, dawg, go on with that.

[Azar Faraday]

I'm crying.

[Paul Pierce]

Nah, hell no. That's what.

[Azar Faraday]

You're not doing no lemon drops.

[Paul Pierce]

We ain't doing no goddamn lemon drops.

[Azar Faraday]

It's so funny. Cause I was at the bar and I remember recently someone was like, give me a lemon drop, but put it in a different cup.

[Paul Pierce]

There's certain drinks as men, with the guys and the girl. You can't order, homie. So the list right here, and these are just all the money.

[Azar Faraday]

These are the money list. Go ahead.

[Paul Pierce]

Don't order a Lem Drop when you with the fellas and your girl. Don't ever order no apple martini, any kind of martini. We ain't doing that. That's for the girls. We all mix, drink champagne, wine. Cool, cool. But all that lemon drop, apple martini, you gonna believe.

[Azar Faraday]

Cosmo.

[Paul Pierce]

Cosmo, get them out of here.

[Azar Faraday]

What about an espresso martini?

[Paul Pierce]

You can order espresso martini if it's you and your girl, but not with

[Azar Faraday]

[Paul Pierce]

Not with you. Another with the guys. Not with the guys. Now, we good on that. Don't do that. Like, your boy's like, yeah, you know, you guys just tear shots. Nah, dawg, let me get the espresso martini. We gonna look at him like glowing me.
