Alexis Stoudemire
Are we.
Ashley Nicole
I need a bell.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's awesome.
Ashley Nicole
Well, I just came back from the beach. You know, it's spring break.
Alexis Stoudemire
So.
Ashley Nicole
Actually, though, there were like, it was very calm in South Beach. Like, there's no spring breakers. I was like, where are all the people at? So, you know, they put out that commercial. Like, they didn't. They did not want spring breakers in South Beach.
Terrell Rosado
And I love that from south beach right now. No, I was there before.
Ashley Nicole
They're not there.
Terrell Rosado
Last week I was there and I get pulled over. So I have. My front window is headed. But I have a doctor's letter because I get headaches when the sun just shines bright on me every time I get pulled over.
Alexis Stoudemire
The police presence, they pull you over.
Ashley Nicole
Get your veterans tag and everything.
Terrell Rosado
Everything. And I was like, sir, what?
Ashley Nicole
Well, anyways, I thought it was gonna be crazy crowds out there. I thought it was gonna be girls going wild out there, but it was not. It was real calm and cool and collected. I heard all the spring break are in like Fort Lauderdale. Now. Hollywood, they up north Hollywood, they probably up like Daytona beach, like those other beaches. Because south beach not having it no more.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah. And speaking of spring break, my babies are on spring break and it's actually been very quiet around the house because they are with their dad. So I'm low key. Having an adult spring break, you know, it's a lot between school, work, all these things that the children are balancing too, and us parents who monitor their calendars and have to schlep them all over the place, we need this break too. As spring as spring breakers, you know, the parents. But I have an extra spring break just because I get to have a quiet home. So, like, I'm living in paradise over here, enjoying it. Only cooking for one. A low key, you know, things like that. And I kind of can move when I want to move. So I. I appreciate that. So shout out to the co parent for, you know, holding it down over there while the boys are. And the girl, you know, Ray is in and out, but like the boys, he got the boys. So I'm having a good time over here.
Terrell Rosado
I sent my kids on a cruise.
Alexis Stoudemire
Oh, I love that. Oh, no.
Terrell Rosado
But they came back sick. My daughter. Both my daughter and denim. They have the stomach virus. It's from the cruise.
Alexis Stoudemire
Oh, man, that's the worst. Especially coming off a vacation. You want to have a good time and not be worrying about that. None of that stuff. Yeah, I can't do it. I just finished my last lab guys in culinary school.
Ashley Nicole
Oh, congratulations.
Alexis Stoudemire
Thank you so much. So I'm like double celebrating this.
Ashley Nicole
Quiet.
Alexis Stoudemire
I'm taking care of business. Yes.
Ashley Nicole
So when can we officially call you?
Alexis Stoudemire
Almost. I have an entrepreneurship class and then externship in a commercial kitchen and then you can call me Chef Le.
Ashley Nicole
Okay.
Terrell Rosado
The question is, when are you going to cook?
Alexis Stoudemire
Oh, you can always have some food. I'm always cooking.
Ashley Nicole

Alexis Stoudemire
Yes. Thank you so much. Let's do that. I'm down.
Ashley Nicole
Since the house is empty, we'll come and fill it up. We'll come and fill our belly.
Alexis Stoudemire
Thank you. My house is always open. Always, always, always.
Ashley Nicole
Well, I want to give a shout out to my mom, Ms. Eyvette, because she is officially Dr. Yvette.
Alexis Stoudemire
I know that. Okay. OG humble.
Ashley Nicole
He just recently, actually yesterday I logged in and watched her defend her thesis. She is getting her. She got her doctorate in I think like education. Something, something, something. I don't know, it don't matter. But she a doctor now. Okay, so please address her as such. So Dr. Mommy, I am so proud of you. I love you so much. And go, you girl, you did your thing. So proud.
Alexis Stoudemire
And she going around saying that too. Like, address me as humble baddie.
Ashley Nicole
Dog, you can't call her nothing else.
Alexis Stoudemire
But I know that's right. That's it.
Ashley Nicole
Okay. She earned that.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yes, she did.
Ashley Nicole
That's what it is.
Terrell Rosado
Shout out to Dr. Yeah.
Alexis Stoudemire
Shout out to Dr. Roberts, the original.
Ashley Nicole
OG humble baddie of her day.
Alexis Stoudemire
Humble baddie.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alexis Stoudemire
Okay, well, let's get into it. Now that we didn't caught up and you know, I'm seeing everybody. Everybody's good, everybody's living and thriving. Let's get into the first topic. The first topic we have is Kylie Jenner sparks reactions after calling herself the original baddie in new photos. Did any of y'all see that?
Ashley Nicole
That's cute.
Terrell Rosado
But it's a mess because Karlie, now, you know, girl, you are not the original baddie.
Ashley Nicole
He's too young to be the original anything. Exactly.
Alexis Stoudemire
I mean, what was she referring to? Like, let's break it down. Let's put out original. Original meaning like the. Like, original means og.
Ashley Nicole
First of all, put some respect on Kim.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yes, Ashley.
Ashley Nicole
Because if it wasn't for Kim, it would be no stu. Like, for real. Like, like Kim Kardashian. If we talking about an og, she's the og. Like, so what is Kylie talking about? I mean, she literally set the path for her and her sisters. Like, she has to give credit where credit is due. Like, that's cute, though. Like, I mean, that's cute. You know, she wants to be pregnant.
Terrell Rosado
I wouldn't even say it's Kim. I was.
Alexis Stoudemire
I was gonna say that too. Like, let's really take it up on that.
Ashley Nicole
The Kardashian family, the baddie, the mom just set her up business, you know what I'm saying? But it's really like the face of everything. She holds it down for, like, the family. Like, at the end of the day, whenever it's anything like big in the tabloids or whatever, like, it's Kim. It's not the mom that we're talking about. It's Kim that we're talking about. You know what I'm saying? Kim is the OG but that's cute, Kylie.
Alexis Stoudemire
It is cute. You know, she. But let's give Kylie her flowers in her own way because she is a billionaire there and.
Ashley Nicole
She'S not the original.
Terrell Rosado
And we ain't even talking about the crash. We talking about, like, we have other people out there. We have what Lil Kim, we got Brianna. We have a whole plethora of other women that. That have been out there that are original baggies before she even came to the picture. So that was definitely a bold statement for her to caption that is the.
Alexis Stoudemire
Original but low key. Let me just throw this out there too. Like my. Our generation of the ladies, my kids example, they know about Kim being married to Kanye and having the kids right where our children are. More like looking at her because she's. Was the father of her children is Travis Scott and she has the lip kits, all these things. And pretty much we saw her growing up. So she is basically, you know, Hollywood elite. She's part of this America's first family. You Know, in hindsight, so I see the evolution of her, but at the same time, to call herself the original baddie, that's pretty high on the list. Great confidence, you know, but, you know, I wish her the best with that.
Ashley Nicole
I mean, honestly, I feel like she should actually be a little bit more humble because, like, like I said, I feel like her mom, Kim K. Like her sisters. She's the baby.
Alexis Stoudemire
She is the baby. That's right, girl.
Ashley Nicole
You have people to learn from and people who, you know, made mistakes that you could learn from. You know what I mean? So I don't know. That comes off really, really not a humble baddie, but she a baddie, though. She a bad. You're not an OG baddie. And it did come off humble, but it's cute, though. I mean, she did.
Terrell Rosado
She. She ain't the original baddie. She a baddie, but she ain't the original. Let's get that straight. Let's put that out there.
Alexis Stoudemire
I love that, though, that shout out to Kim, though. Kim and Kris and the whole Kardashian clan, for example. Yeah, got it.
Terrell Rosado
Do y'all feel like. Do y'all feel like she intentionally or was she throwing shade at someone to say. To make a post like that, to say the original.
Alexis Stoudemire
I mean, with all these millions of followers, I'm sure she is top 10, right? I mean, I just can assume it's definitely gonna give a little topic of conversation, hence why we're talking about it now. It's trending. It's all over the place. Especially because she's in the beauty space, too, of influence. And, you know, she's known that her lip could sell out. And she has, you know, her baby girl Stormi is wearing the hottest, you know, sneakers and the whole line of everything. So she is really just being out there. I feel like it's always a little bit of calculated, you know, energy behind it, just for the marketing purposes as well as look at mama and look at just how they have built everything. So, of course, it's a little bit of. A little bit of poking at press and her followers and everything like that, just for us to talk about it. I mean, it might be the original lip kit is coming out, being resurfaced or whatever the case may be, and people. She also knows that people talk about her looks, her plastic surgery, her transformations and her ugly duckling stages and all these things. So I think she's kind of owning it and also just want us to talk about it.
Ashley Nicole
Maybe she meant of her generation, like her age group. Maybe she means she's the OG of her, you know, age group. I'm trying to figure out the OG part of it. Right? I mean, you know, we gotta give her credit. She is a businesswoman. She is like you said, she's like one of the most followed people on social media. You know, I mean, it is what it is. So I think there is, like some truth behind what she's saying. It's just weird to say og.
Alexis Stoudemire
I don't know.
Terrell Rosado
I just feel like calling herself the original baddie. It's like you ignoring all the women who paved the way before you. It's like, girl, you ain't the one.
Alexis Stoudemire
But she should be. She should be a humble baddie. So she should have put that out there.
Ashley Nicole
Humble original baddie.
Terrell Rosado
We'll see. Original should never been in that caption, baby.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, because people did like spin it and really kind of started like talking stuff about original. They were just like, original what? Original wear? Like, what's original?
Ashley Nicole
You know, first of all, pause. Why? My mama just text me talking about she waiting on her shout out. Girl, you lost.
Alexis Stoudemire
Tell her that you're gonna have to hit the repl.
Ashley Nicole
Okay? Tell her to rewind.
Alexis Stoudemire
See?
Terrell Rosado
Original.
Alexis Stoudemire
See, look at that. The OG Original. Humble baddie mama want her shout out.
Ashley Nicole
Listen, ma, I already shouted you out, okay? Dr. Roberts, you got some shout out. I'm gonna shout you out again. Shout out to Dr. Roberts. She's a real humble baddie. She's a real OG.
Alexis Stoudemire
Well, she's more of a blueprint baddie. Right? Hence. That's what you were saying, right? Religion. Like the OGs and like, think about the ones before you.
Terrell Rosado
You have to think about the ones before you. Just not original baddie. Because you ain't the original.
Ashley Nicole
And that's that. Period.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's that. That's funny.

Yes yes yes rel. You got topic 2 for us. You want to keep it moving or we we you know how you feeling.
Terrell Rosado
Sexy red and why she is the most hated rapper industry most hated female rapper. She thinks she says that because she is getting criticized in regards to it. She did a podcast with big boys neighborhood for an exclusive interview and she didn't hold back y'all. She addressed that she received so much hate online but I feel like you know us as women we dive into it because we all receive hate but she take she's taking it too intentional and the thing about it she has to understand she Is very talented. She makes music. People are tuned in. Just because you have that hate, you have more people supporting you. That's why you're on top. So sexy Rich have to remember, like, if they ain't talking, if you ain't.
Alexis Stoudemire
Got no haters, you ain't probably let them know.
Ashley Nicole
I feel like all rappers, though, have made this statement at some point, though. I feel like all rappers feel like everybody hates them, everybody's against them, you know, Like, I feel like that's part of the rapper, like, Persona. Like, you know, fuck my haters type thing, you know what I'm saying?
Alexis Stoudemire
That ego, that cockiness that just.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Alexis Stoudemire
And be able to express it.
Terrell Rosado
But it goes harder for females. Like, we. We get criticized more as, you know, as females. And they're in that rapper category because it's predominantly male. She talk about things that a lot of people are not uncomfortable. A lot of people are not comfortable speaking on. I mean, we did have Preena, Lil Kim all. Yeah, I think all the female rappers.
Ashley Nicole
Whenever they, like, are on top and they're like, speaking their mind and they're in their own lane. They all get like some sort of, like, you know, they get this big following of hate, but it's still a following, you know what I mean? People are still following everything they do, everything they say. Like, so I feel like haters are still. They're like low key. Like they, they. They still fuck with you. It's just. They don't know it yet.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's interesting. It's interesting because, you know, Sexyy Red has definitely made a lane for herself. She is. I, like, I feel she is very relatable to a lot of the young girls in the hood and like. And really just like that are trying to make it single mamas out there grinding, hustling for their kids and shout out to Missouri, you know, like, that's the show me state. That's what we're known from. That's where I'm from. And we like to let people know who we are and really be ourselves. And I feel like she is really just the epitome of, like, I'm gonn. I'm gonna do this. I got a little bread. I'm gonna take care of home. I'm gonna talk my shit and I'm gonna be creative and be myself. Going back to seeing her at Rolling Loud Live, the crowd was so engaged with her presence and her energy. She is top notch for me. Like, I was a believer at first. I was like, okay, she's got a lot to talk about. And you know who that's making me like? Rael said a little uncomfortable, but she's expressing her creative side, and she has a lane where she is very comfortable in. And, you know, I like to really give her her flowers in her way, just because she was out there in her sneakers and really dancing, engaging with the audience, and they loved it. So I was actually. She has hits. I mean, she's with. She's like with Drake, got a hit with her, so she's becoming mainstream. And we're talking about her. And I think she just represents the, like, just a lot of what is America and what people and just really, you know, have come from the gutter and really have tried to make a name for themselves. She represents that in so many ways. And I hate that she feels that hate. But again, I feel like what Ashley, you said, as far as, you know, this is the rapper's Persona. They all are very sensitive about their craft too, you know, at the end of the day. And I think she just has to stay herself. That's what has gotten her this far. And as long as she's not hurting anybody, just do you. You know, I hate that she feels that way, though. But it goes in ebbs and ebbs and flows different.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, yeah, I agree. So I'm curious, though.
Terrell Rosado
Yeah, that's true.
Ashley Nicole
Tell me y'all top three female rappers. Terrell, go.
Terrell Rosado
Wait, we have to. We have to change it up. I can't. I have. We have to do different eras.
Alexis Stoudemire
I see what you did there.
Ashley Nicole
Okay, tell me just your top three, who you're playing right now. It don't have to be top. Like.
Terrell Rosado
I can't compare my old school female reference to my new school. So.
Ashley Nicole
Okay, tell me who you're playing right now, though. Who you playing right now?
Terrell Rosado
Right now? Right now. I got Nicki top three right now. Currently Nicki Minaj. Sexy Red, she got some hits. And Lotto.
Ashley Nicole
Okay, who you got?
Alexis Stoudemire
I have Nikki, I have Lotto, and I have Glo.
Ashley Nicole
Okay. Okay.
Terrell Rosado
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Glow, glow, yo, glow.
Alexis Stoudemire
Some hips. I was in there like, ooh, ooh, yeah. Talk to me, sis. I mean, give me that.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, yeah, I'm g. Go with who I'm gonna go with. You already said Nicki Minaj is my top. Have y'all heard of Mona Leo?
Terrell Rosado
No, no.
Ashley Nicole
When you working out, you have good taste in music. Ash play that. And then Dolce saying.
Alexis Stoudemire
I was thinking her.
Terrell Rosado
Is she considered rapper? She considered.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Alexis Stoudemire
I like her.
Ashley Nicole
Flo.
Alexis Stoudemire
That means is Doja considered rapper too?
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, I think so.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah. Yeah, I just think. But I think the women are just doing it. Would you say, what about old school? The Il Na Na?
Ashley Nicole
That is it.
Terrell Rosado
Missy Ellis. Missy and Lil Kim.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, Lil Kim. Dang. I mean, ooh, that's our old school generation. Because we can even go back to like, you have Queen latifah, Lauryn Hill, M.C. light the brat. Ooh, that's another good one. Rat Tat Tat tat. You taking me back.
Terrell Rosado
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Go y'all. I want to have an Atlanta party at my house where we play only like, well, mostly like Atlanta and we got dress like, we gotta dress like 2000s Atlanta. So like white tee, very dressed, slouch socks and like all the Atlanta rap music.
Alexis Stoudemire
I like that.
Ashley Nicole
Can't wait to do that.
Alexis Stoudemire
Let's do that. Let's do it.
Terrell Rosado
Y'all know. Y'all know Georgia is. That's me. So I'm gonna be right there.
Ashley Nicole
Okay.
Alexis Stoudemire
I love that. I love that. What you got for us, Ash?
Terrell Rosado
Oh, go ahead. I feel like back to Sexy Red in regards to. I feel like we don't support and ride for our female rappers. Like we should. Like, I feel like people jump on the bandwagon and just push. But as much hate, there should be more celebration because she is paving the way. Even though some people don't like the way she, what she talk about or what she rap about, but generations before spoke and talk about the same thing. You have your male rappers degrading women talking about stuff and people vibe to it. But soon as a female come and speak on it, it's like, oh, she nasty. She like, don't nobody want to hear that type of music, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But she's making hits.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, she's making hits. But I feel like, you know, also this day and age, I feel like people are sensitive and it's always been pushed back. It's always been like somebody who doesn't like what you are putting out, what you're doing, what you're saying, what you're wearing. Like, it's always going to be that. And we need to just be reinforcing like self love and like believing in yourself and not listening to what other people say and just going out there and doing your thing and stop putting so much energy into the haters. Like it's always going to people be people out here who don't like what we're doing. It's people who don't like the Humble Baddies podcast and they all Go to hell. But we still gonna show up and do what we gotta do, you know what I'm saying? Like, we don't need to give our energy into the people who are hating us. There are so many people that love us, who are supporting us, who do love our music, who do love our podcast, who do wanna hear what we have to say, who do, you know, just enjoy whatever we are putting out into the world. And those are the people that we need to be speaking energy into and giving all of our energy to. So I feel like, you know, it's always gonna be haters. Ignore the haters and keep doing Sexyy Red. Like, we see you, you're being seen and keep doing what you're doing.
Terrell Rosado
But the good thing about it, the haters are the ones that keep you relevant because they're always on you.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, if they not hating on you, you ain't doing it right.
Alexis Stoudemire
And shout out to Cardi B and Meg, Thee Stallion too. I know we didn't mention them, but they are forces of their own. You know, I just. I really enjoy being very confident in my skin with the ladies. They are very much. They just. We just have fallen in love with these ladies and really much can feel empowered by them. So shout out to all the ladies, all the rappers that are doing their thing because you're necessary and needed, for sure.
Terrell Rosado
Mm.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah. All right, y'all. So the next topic I would like to talk about is Nelly and Ashanti. So he recently did an interview where he mentioned that one of the reasons that he decided to marry Ashanti was so that she would not be a baby mama. So what do you guys think about that? Do you think that is, you know, is that him being a gentleman or do you think that's like, I don't know, a cop out? Or, like, what do you guys think about that?
Terrell Rosado
I think he. He really loves Ashanti and he genuinely married her because he loves her. I think him. Her becoming pregnant sped up the process, but he genuinely. I can't. Did I say genuinely loves her? And I respect it. Like, he. And he has so much love for her that he don't want the public to call her his baby mama.
Ashley Nicole
Okay, so do you think there is something wrong with being called a baby mama?
Alexis Stoudemire
I think it's a stigma in our communities for that, for sure. You know, because I feel like in other communities it's partner or, you know, significant other child, mother, father of my child, you know, do the white people.
Ashley Nicole
Call they baby mama?
Alexis Stoudemire
I think they do because we normalize It.
Terrell Rosado
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
I ain't never heard no white man call his baby mama.
Alexis Stoudemire
I don't think so. That's what I'm saying. I don't. I don't think so. But I mean, I think they say it in more so like this generation of I don't have to be married to have a baby. You know what I'm saying? Or whatever the case may be. But I feel like I kind of try to shy away from saying baby mama because, low key, I'm nobody's baby mama. Like, as much work as I put in, as much soul and time that I put into these kids, I'm their mother. So you gonna respectfully put me on that pedestal and make sure everyone else is calling me that too. So I feel like with Nellie, this is. He's showing us growth. He's showing us so many like that he loves that. He loves her. He's like, you're not gonna. This woman that is carrying my child, I am now old enough.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, you, You.
Alexis Stoudemire
That is my wife. She is the mother of my children. And you're gonna address her as such. And I feel like that has to be put on a pedestal too, because low key, you're not gonna always just having a baby. Like, people, you know, aren't using protection. You might turn around and not like the person the next week. It happens. It very much so. So well happens. So, you know, I feel like people, we gotta change the stigma of calling people baby mama, baby daddy. But I feel like it comes from a heaviness or something that's going on between the relationship of the parents and not thinking about the child. Because I feel like we have to be very much healthy in our situations, in our homes, really raising these kids. And he's trying to do the right thing of now bringing this child up in a two parent household, which we know statistically is better. And he's trying to do it right. So shout out to Nellie for that, because we want, we want that.
Terrell Rosado
And I respect Nelly. Like, he know that Ashanti is an icon. She is that girl. Like, you're not about to. Y'all not about to disrespect my wife. This is who she is. She is my wife.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, we need more of this. We need more of people, men making their girls their wives. Like, we need more representation of this, you know, because a lot of times I feel like every day we're seeing so and so is pregnant, so and so is having a baby. So, you know, we don't see a lot of so and so's. Getting married. So I think that's important.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, I agree. I'd rather have two healthy parents in two separate households than, you know, two parents under one roof of resentment. Like, it's just not healthy at all. So he's putting out that energy of, look, this is what it is. We out here. I love it. I mean, I'd rather be called a co parent, a partner, mother of my children.
Terrell Rosado
Do you think when I. So I'mma I'm gonna take it back in and ask a question that will be very controversy. If she was not pregnant, do you think he would have married her?
Alexis Stoudemire
I think so. Because, you know, right then and there.
Terrell Rosado
Like, I think so. Because that statement that he made was, I married her so she wouldn't be. That is why people are in an uproar. Like, she wouldn't be labeled as a baby mama. So I don't think the response should have been that because now it's making it look like, oh, he only married her so she wouldn't be labeled as a baby mom.
Alexis Stoudemire
I think he did the right thing. Like, it's just we have to give credit where credit is due. And keep in mind, they did date in the past. So this is almost like that saying of, if you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it's yours. So they have history, you know, they have history of they know each other. It's not like it was rushed. Like, I just met her and now she pregnant, so let me lock it down because I'm grown now. No, it's really a sense of, you know, what I'm not doing. I'm doing something different this time. We have a child, we're building a legacy. We're breaking generational curses and that energy of, like, not marrying the mother of our children. So he is trying to start a new legacy and really continue his musical legacy and really transform his really just his Persona of now he's a family man and he can settle down and he can be focused on his family and doing everything for them. So low key. I feel like it was next. It should have been marriage. You know, maybe the baby got there a little bit before, but it should have been marriage anyway, if they bringing it back around and you don't want her to be with no one else. And y'all see the difference now between when y'all were younger, seven or eight years ago to now. When you're grown and make these sound decisions, it actually is better. I'm glad they brought a baby up now. Later on than seven Years ago.
Ashley Nicole
I'm so confused as to why people get in such an uproar about who's getting married or whatever or who's not. But it's okay to have a baby. Like, oh, she's pregnant. Marriage is hard. You know what I mean? Like, it's just weird. Like, why would you guys be okay with her just being pregnant and being a baby mama? Why is that more, like, acceptable and more, like, less controversial than him actually wanting to make her his wife?
Terrell Rosado
I think people are in the uproar because of the statement. He said, I didn't want her to be labeled as the baby mama. So it's make people, like, dive in on, oh, well, you just married her because you got her pregnant. Yes, we know she had a previous relationship. They had a previous relationship. But why say, you know, I only married. Not I only. But I didn't. I don't want people to label her as my baby mama. That's why people are.
Alexis Stoudemire
Aren't.
Terrell Rosado
Well, people be getting caught up in.
Ashley Nicole
These words and losing it. Like, y'all don't know that relationship. And then y'all be so happy when they got back together. Why wouldn't y'all be happy that he's exactly.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's like, it's always gonna be something.
Terrell Rosado
Love it. I'm happy. I love it. I love Ashanti and Ellie. Like, they are a beautiful couple. I just don't, like, he don't have to. I didn't like how I married her so she wouldn't be labeled as a baby mama. He didn't have to say that. Like, just marry her. Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Maybe he didn't mean it like that, but I will say, like, I was not married when I got pregnant, and I didn't want to be a baby mama. I didn't want nobody to call me.
Alexis Stoudemire
A baby mama either.
Ashley Nicole
And I also felt like I did put pressure on Phil to propose to me once I was pregnant, but ultimately, he didn't care about that pressure at all. And looking back, I feel like I'm glad that I know that he didn't marry me just because I'm pregnant. So I feel like, yeah, like, making a statement like that does kind of, like, stale the whole engagement, you know what I mean? Like, you want to be married to somebody because they want to marry you, because they want to spend the rest of their life with you, not because you're pregnant. And so I'm just saying, like, looking back, like, I'm glad, like, I got married because, you know, we want to be together forever. Not because I just happen to be pregnant. So, yeah, that's a weird statement to make, but, you know, we supposed to be minding our business and, you know, wishing people well, especially people who are, you know, doing things positively moving in a positive direction.
Alexis Stoudemire
You know, marriage is hard. It's not easy, so why put that. And it's not hard being pregnant, and it's not hard having babies and toddlers and all these different stages either. So you want the help, you know, you want someone there for you, but it doesn't always work out that way. There's this influx of women that just want to be single mothers by choice. You know, they can, if they just ready to have children and just really be a mother themselves. So I just think we are just in this space of where we're kind of transitioning to you can really do whatever you want to do. And there's so many labels out there now. So it's just like, I mean, technically now I'm considered a single mom, you know, and that shit was not by choice. You know what I mean? It's just by default of divorce. So it's like, you know, now I'm put in this category, but at the same time, I still have the help of their father, and I still am able to do the things I need to do. So, like, the stigma is changing, I feel, in that kind of way.
Ashley Nicole
And that's.
Alexis Stoudemire
Would you guys have pressure, do you think, like, you would pressure a man into marrying you if you became pregnant? Any one of y'all, like, would you try to.
Ashley Nicole
Pressure fell into it, and he was like, what you talking about? I get it's a baby in there, and that's cool. I'm gonna be here. I'm the pappy cool. But he, like, I was like, you know, I'm pregnant. Let's go. Let's get married. What you waiting on? Like, he. He did not. You know, I was raised.
Alexis Stoudemire
You think it's because you wanted that because of everyone else? Also, what they were going to say.
Ashley Nicole
Well, yeah. And, like, that's just how I was raised. That's just how I was brought up. You know, I thought I was going to go to hell. Like, all kind of things, you know what I mean?
Terrell Rosado
Like, yeah, like, okay, we can't bring. We shacking. We can't bring a baby in this world. We're not married exactly.
Alexis Stoudemire
But say the cow before the car.
Ashley Nicole
My dad stopped talking to me. Like, I just was like, oh, my God, like, what am I doing? I done did the worst thing ever you know what I mean? Like, so, yeah, I did put a lot of pressure on Phil. Looking back. That's what I'm saying now. I feel like I'm glad that he wasn't moved by me saying, like, let's get married because I'm pregnant. Because now I know he wanted to be with me, not because of the baby.
Terrell Rosado
Right.
Ashley Nicole
Because he looked me dead in my eyes.
Terrell Rosado
You don't want to force a man to marry you and be with you because you're pregnant, because now he's marrying you for the wrong reasons. Like, I want. If a man comes to me and marry me, I want you to marry me because you love me, not because he brought a child in this world like you love me. We're gonna grow together. We're gonna build together.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, that does start the energy off a little rocky for the nuptials. Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I had three and a half babies before I got married that were out in the world thriving. So I was definitely baby mama. I was, you know, going to the. The arenas all around, and, you know, the name is not matching the last name of everything, so it got annoying. And doctor's appointments and things like that. But I did feel that used to bother me. Yeah, same here. Yeah. I mean, like, that's the baby mama. There she go. Yeah.
Terrell Rosado
But, you know, some states have come in law marriage. You. I mean, y'all were together for years before y'all, you know, solidified it. Some states, you know, acknowledge marriage, and you're not. You don't have to do the paperwork just because of how many years you've been together and.
Alexis Stoudemire
Or under the same roof, too. For sure. Arizona was not having it.
Ashley Nicole
My mama and daddy do not care about no common law marriage. Okay? My mama and daddy, this household.
Alexis Stoudemire
They know that it's helpful. It's possible.
Ashley Nicole
Still, Mama was like, so what y'all gonna do? Okay. Like, she was dead ass. Like, so what's the plan?
Alexis Stoudemire
It's business responsibilities.
Ashley Nicole
It is. It is.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
But do y'all think that marriage really changes a relationship, or is it just paperwork?
Terrell Rosado
Like, you feel like marriage can change a relationship? Because so many people have put out, like, what marriage supposed to be? Like, we go into a marriage and we like, oh, we supposed to change now that we're married. We're supposed to do this. And it makes. I feel like it makes the relationship more strict. I just feel like the world has changed. What marriage really is, really is. And courts and especially America has scared people away from becoming married. Because especially men, because the laws are in it. When you get a divorce, you know, oh, they worry about what if we don't make it work and we have to go through a divorce. All that I brought to the table, now I have to split it. And I lose a lot of things because now that we're married and we have the outside coming into our marriage telling us what we should do once we separate. So it's a lot. It's a lot to weigh on when you do get married. What you think about if it doesn't work. It's just a lot.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah. Historically, we got married because we needed credit. You know, we needed to get a job, we needed some extra income for the household. That's how. That's what marriage really started from back in the day was, you know, in order to have your own car, things in your name, you had to get married. And so now it's turned into like, you know, let me solidify this partnership, this relationship. And it's really became. Now I feel like it still was a business contract, but now it's become a business contract. Going back to what you said, rel, the prenups, the options of what these things are, which is very valid and very safe and very protective and very necessary. But it does start to hinder when you have to add the paperwork of like, you know, before we get married, let's talk about this because it is people, two people, two whole people are coming together and causing one union. And now there are separation of bills, there's one household, there's, you know, children. There's all kinds of things, these factors. So I feel like low key. I know we've had this discussion a little bit before of like, would you get married again? Or things like that. But like, I'm starting to see the influx of like, partnerships and like these long term committed relationships where people are just still doing what they want to do and whatever their marriage looks like to them is what it's going to be. Because at the end of the day, you got to live with this person. And if y'all decide to go to your own way, you just can keep it going without, like paperwork or anything like that. So it's almost like, what are the benefits of marriage outside of partnership, outside of, you know, business contracts, the piece of paper, those things like that, you know, it's just per person at this point. What does that look like?
Ashley Nicole
It is a business contract. It is a legal issue, a legal document. Like, I do think you should both have lawyers. I think you should Protect yourself. But at the end of the day, like, I still believe, like, marriage is something that you do under God. Like, you know, you married under God. This is an oath that you take under God. So, like, like, you know, you can protect yourself legally. Like, if you want to take the steps and make sure. Like, if you don't want her to get any of what you got, you don't want him. Like, there's ways that you can protect yourself, and that's easy. I mean, it might not be the easiest conversation, but there's ways to protect yourself. And then everything else I think is, you know, you seek guidance under God. Like, you. You get marriage counseling, like, before you get married. Like, there's things and there's ways to, like, like, that might help you see marriage differently. You know what I mean? Like, if you let all these outside worldly things stop you from seeing the greatness of what marriage can be, then, yeah, it's not going to work. But if we remember, like, what marriage is and what it's for, you know, what the foundation of marriage is, then I think there's a chance for it. And it might not seem so scary because you have the tools and you have everything that you need in place to give it a chance to see, to not come from a place of fear. Because I don't think that's what marriage should feel like. It shouldn't feel, you know, once you let all these worldly things feel like.
Terrell Rosado
A pillness feel right.
Ashley Nicole
So, I mean, it's just unfortunate that that's where we are, but, I mean, it's real. It's real. And that's why we need more, like, representation. We need more people talking about it. We need more men who are married to have conversations with men who aren't or, you know, the men who do want to be married. Like, y'all need to get out here and, like, talk to the women and tell them, like, you know, just, we need to talk. Because I think there are people out here who still believe in marriage, who still want it.
Alexis Stoudemire
They're just afraid it's coming from fear. I agree with you, Ashley. A place of fear in the unknown. But it's not easy. You have to be ready. Two willing and able participants for sure. Locked in. Do you all feel like if a man doesn't marry the mother of his, like, someone. A woman that's pregnant, do you feel like he's not being responsible or vice versa? Like, if the lady is like, you know what, we'll just keep it separate.
Ashley Nicole
I feel like if A man doesn't step up and take care of the responsibility of having a child and making sure the mother of that child is in a space. That's not saying that he needs to, like, take care of her, but if that's the mother of your child, like, I do feel like there is some responsibility there. And if he doesn't step up, then I would say he is irresponsible. Because bringing a child into this world changes everything. Whether you're married, I don't think, I.
Terrell Rosado
Don'T think you should marry a woman just because you bring a child in this world. Like I said before, even when it comes to Nelly and Ashanti, I feel like before a child, before anything, a man will know if he wants to marry that woman or not.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, but does it make him less responsible? That's what she was saying. Right? But take care of the kid and the mom in the situation, then yes, I think it makes him less responsible. It's not about marriage. It's about the child. It's about making sure that they're being taken care of. And you step up differently. You can't step up in the same way.
Terrell Rosado
You can't be.
Ashley Nicole
You can't move in the same way. Once you bring a child in, you might not get married, but you definitely got to do more.
Alexis Stoudemire
It is a difference. It's the responsibility of another human now.
Ashley Nicole
It's not just like y'all are dating. It's not like you're just boyfriend and girlfriend even though you're not married. It changes. Like it's a big change. And I think to like, act like it's a light, like it's something light, I think would be an act of irresponsibility.
Alexis Stoudemire
Understand? I get that. Okay, well, shout out.
Terrell Rosado
We need more. We need more of these husbands to speak on how happy, happily they are in the mask.
Alexis Stoudemire
They start recruiting more.
Terrell Rosado
Yeah. Or husband and not make.
Alexis Stoudemire
We love that. We love that.
Ashley Nicole

21 + terms and conditions apply. See what was going on with Jess hilarious and LaRosa on the Breakfast Club.
Ashley Nicole
That's it. I did not like seeing that.
Alexis Stoudemire
I didn't love it either. It wasn't great, but at the same time it is a platform of voicing your opinion. It very much is like you know you have two masculine Energies of, you know, Charlamagne and DJ Envy. And we known them as speaking their mind. And here you have two ladies that are almost low key, were almost pitted against each other. And it was. I'm sure, you know, Jess is very much outspoken. Obviously, that's why she's sitting in that chair. Yeah, there's a reason why she's there. You know what I'm saying? Same with, you know, LaRosa.
Ashley Nicole
Same thing.
Alexis Stoudemire
You know what I mean? They're both in their own right, just very much deserving of being there. It was very heartbreaking to see them really kind of going at it, but then they were very honest. I mean, obviously, we need to understand why there is this energy in that small space. You know, I personally don't listen to them on the radio. I can't remember the last time I was listening to any talk on the radio. It's now streaming, so now we're able to see their reactions. We're able to in real time, like, really, like, understand what they're going through. And she's just coming off of having a baby. This is, like, off of maternity leave. So I don't know how I would feel like, if I was out of the loop, you know, healing myself and bringing this new life into the world and then showing up to my job. And you, you're replaced. Of course my energy and my hormones are going to be heightened and I'm going to feel some kind of way because now things have kept it moving, which they should, but at the same time, I'm going to feel like I'm, you know, replaceable. Especially when you feel like you were irreplaceable.
Terrell Rosado
Yeah, exactly. I feel like first, I feel like they should have never had the conversation live. I feel like they should have spoke and talked it out. I felt like it was a lot of miscommunication with them. Of course, it can be like, okay, this was mine and I had this platform, but now you're not hearing what I'm saying. I felt like it was just too much communication and. And I felt like they both had good intentions, but no one was there to help them intervene and mediate a little bit, clear the air. Mediate. Correct.
Alexis Stoudemire
Interesting point.
Ashley Nicole
I think, you know, the way that Angela Yee left from the Breakfast Club, I think kind of Jess should have known the environment that it might be. So it's like, you know, she left for maternity leave or whatever, and they. Well, first they did this big rollout for Jess, it was like this big thing, like, she's coming on the next day.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, I remember that they did all these interviews, and, like.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, it was so big. Like, everybody was so excited. Everybody was so happy. Like, Charlamagne, DJ Envy was just, like. Everybody was like. Like, it was good. Right then she was pregnant. She has to go to maternity leave or whatever. And then she.
Terrell Rosado
They.
Ashley Nicole
They bring in. What's her name?
Alexis Stoudemire
Lauren LaRosa. Like, that's her last name. Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
So they bring her in, and it's like, okay, cool. But, like, did y'all talk to Jess about it? Like, did y'all fully.
Terrell Rosado
No, she knew because Jess. Jess vouched for her.
Ashley Nicole
Right. I know, but then they said, like, she was only supposed to be doing her segment. Right. Mm. And so I feel like something was lost in communication with when she was coming back, how that transition was gonna be. Like, that should have all been laid out, and clearly it wasn't. And like you said, Lex, like, when you're pregnant, just had a baby, like, your hormones are all over the place. And I. That environment probably is, like, a male dominant space. Like, there's probably nobody speaking up for Jess in that way while she's gone. You know what I mean? And I think it's just kind of unfortunate that she would have to come back and have to deal with that and have to, like, speak up for herself. But, you know, she's not, like, a corporate person, so of course she's someone.
Alexis Stoudemire
And he's on the radio. She's a personality.
Ashley Nicole
She gotta say out, you know what I mean, in the way that she did it. So it's like, we can't get mad at her for, you know, like, speaking her mind in the way that she does, because that's where. That's how she got to where she is and then. But it's unfortunate that it's like these two black women on this black podcast. Huge. And then to DJ Envy and Charlamagne, I feel like they just sitting back, kind of, like watching them kind of have this back and forth, you know, I feel like they. They didn't really, like, pick sides or anything, but they didn't really help the situation either.
Terrell Rosado
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
And I ain't like that at all. And I feel like, you know, seeing, you know, Angela Lee, Angela Yee leave, you know, I can kind of see why, too. And I think Jess said that because it's like, y'all just sitting here letting this happen. Y'all not speaking up for no advocacy whatsoever. What are we doing?
Alexis Stoudemire
That's tough.
Terrell Rosado
I just. I just want them to win. They're both amazing hosts. They're. They're both beautiful women. They do great in the front street. And us, as black women, we should come together and show that we can work together without taking over each other's spotlight. Like, and those two men, they need to be there to support them, to help them, to keep them shy. Not throwing rocks, trying to, oh, you know, cause confusion. Not saying that they are. But as us, as black women, we have to learn to work together. We have to stick together and not put it. If we're going through things the world shouldn't know about it. Like, let's have a conversation. Let's talk it out. Let's figure it out and be better at it. That's what I.
Alexis Stoudemire
We tired. We are exhausted. It gets exhausting. And, you know, we can say this, being black women, like, we saying. You know how that term is. We gonna sit this one out, because we are always Grace. We're always trying to stand up for ourselves. We are always trying to be the. The. You know, the bigger person. And, you know, it gets draining and very tiring. You know, we are. We are tired. We tired. We added. You know, we're just exhausted from trying to overextend ourselves, really be the saviors, you know, it's just. I wish she just had a little bit more support.
Terrell Rosado
Exactly. And that's all it is. Support and communication. Let's figure this shit out. Let's show the world that we can work together as black women.
Alexis Stoudemire
And, Kim, do you think it was a little calculating? Because it was like, we're watching it, we're talking about it. There's views, it's trending. And then to turn around, like, almost a couple days later, LaRosa Usshe ended up announcing her new show. Her, you know, her new platform. So what do y'all think about that?
Terrell Rosado
I don't think it was calculated. I think, you know, Jess was trying to express herself, and she just had enough. She went live. And because she went live, they went the next day, they addressed it, and it, you know, everything. Just because they have a platform. Right?
Ashley Nicole
Yeah. And.
Terrell Rosado
And, you know, the guys don't eat it up. They gonna tear it up and talk about it. Let's talk about it live right now.
Alexis Stoudemire
I understand that, Rel. You got humble bad email for us. It's about that time. It's about that time.
Terrell Rosado

Alexis Stoudemire

At least it ain't Carnival, girl. I was super excited, but then he hit me with the, you're paying for your half. Right? That's how he wasn't joking. Now, I get that we're in that my third world and all, but I kind of feel like if a man is taking me on vacation, he should be covering it, especially if he's the first to ask and it's our first trip together. Am I being unrealistic or is he just giving up? Giving? Broke boy, Broke boy Energy, babies. What y'all do? Would you happily split the bill or is this the red flag for how he handles relationships in general? Please.
Alexis Stoudemire
Well, I'm gonna go ahead and say this as an avid traveler. I mean, all three of us are avid travelers, right? If I'm with this guy, after a year and a half, he knows how I move, he knows how I eat, he knows how I dine and really take, how I fly, how you move. So. So a year and a half and y'all talking about vacation. You're going on a cruise. And these cruises are very expensive. They're time consuming, but they're fun. It's a very intimate setting. But a year and a half, you should know what time it is. And I feel like if you invested that time in this person, you can invest in their space. Especially because you're not in two separate estate rooms. You know, you are in. You're sharing one bed in one cabin. So cruises are meant for you to really not go to sleep. So you're with this person all the time. You're doing excursions, you're doing, you're eating, you're wine tasting, whatever you want to do. So obviously, if you want to spend time with this person, after a year and a half of getting to know them best, believe you should be fitting the bill for this. I mean, if you can't afford not to be there, you shouldn't be going. But, sis, I think he needs to take care of it. I know one thing. With me, even just dating and courting and things like that, I feel like the men that approach me or know who I am know that I'm well traveled. And there's a way that I travel and that doesn't have to Necessarily be first class or things like that. But there's going to be things that I want to do. I like getting massages. I like a view of the ocean. I like these things. And if this man is intentional about being with somebody, they should be investing in you.
Terrell Rosado
Exactly. As a man, if you ask her, like, come somewhere, you better pay.
Alexis Stoudemire
You gotta pay for it.
Terrell Rosado
Why am I paying 50%?
Ashley Nicole
I feel like the men. I feel like the men are gonna say it's a test.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, a year and a half test.
Ashley Nicole
But I don't know.
Alexis Stoudemire
I don't know.
Ashley Nicole
I feel like men are all about, like, trying to see. I don't know, like, is she a gold digger? And that type of shit.
Alexis Stoudemire
I don't like. The ones that have it are not having. They're not saying that. You know what I mean?
Ashley Nicole
Well, he might not have it to like splurge like that. But then that's why I think there should be like a conversation. Like, I feel like it's like, okay, what if he doesn't have it like that, but he really likes you. He really wants to go on this vacation with you, but he can't afford your part. Then he could find a nice way to be like, hey, can we.
Alexis Stoudemire
I don't see nothing wrong. One thing about this Cooper is you gotta put a deposit down before you even step foot on that boat. Baby, they are not checking you in unless everything is clear.
Terrell Rosado
I know.
Ashley Nicole
That's why I'm saying. That's why I'm saying he may not have it, but I feel like it's okay. Like, as long as it happens.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's not okay. It's very irresponsible.
Terrell Rosado
Because if you don't have the. It is. Because if you don't have the money, then why are you asking to go on a cruise? You need to get your priorities together before we go.
Alexis Stoudemire
You gotta pay for one.
Ashley Nicole
That can be a conversation. That could be a conversation. But I'm just saying, like. I'm just trying to think about it from. Okay, Y'all are some bougie bitches. Okay, I'm trying to think about it. Trying to think about it, you know, in a different way. Okay, so I'm just saying, like, he might not be as well traveled as you, Lex. He might know.
Alexis Stoudemire
So, Sherrelle. I'm just thinking for the other people.
Ashley Nicole
I know.
Terrell Rosado
You finish.
Alexis Stoudemire
I'll let her finish.
Ashley Nicole
I'm just saying. Not you, bitch. I know you not going talk about you.
Terrell Rosado
If a man asks you to pay yourself.
Ashley Nicole
I'm not talking about the majority. I'm not talking about us. I'm not talking about the bougie Humble Betties.
Terrell Rosado
Not even about being picture as, as a man. If you're asking me to come on a trip, you need to pay. It ain't no testing. We're not, not after a year and a half.
Alexis Stoudemire
I'm not testing nothing.
Terrell Rosado
Exactly.
Alexis Stoudemire
No, we go together and been together. But what were you saying, Ash?
Terrell Rosado
No.
Alexis Stoudemire
Can'T hear you.
Terrell Rosado
Ash, can't hear you, can't hear you.
Alexis Stoudemire
She done. She.
Ashley Nicole
She got.
Alexis Stoudemire
She.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, yeah, yes.
Alexis Stoudemire
Will you say boo?
Ashley Nicole
Okay.
Terrell Rosado
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Jersey button. I be pushing. Okay, sorry. What if he's not like a well traveled person and neither is she and this is like them trying to, you know, explore that option and he doesn't know the etiquette of like, okay, if I want to go on a vacation with a lady, I need to make sure I have the funds. You know what I'm saying? So I don't. I'm trying to answer this lady in a way, not trying to ruin their relationship because we don't know. You know what I'm saying? Like, we don't know where they're, where they are in their financials. We don't know where they are in their relationship. So I'm just saying, okay, they want to go. He wants, he obviously wants to go on a trip with this lady on a cruise or whatever. And he's like, okay, I want to go, but can you pay your way? I don't think she should be like, ah, fuck this, man. He can't pay in the bank for me. I ain't going to stop him. Like, I don't think so. That's why I'm the excursion. So that's why I, that's what I'm saying. There's a conversation that could be had and you can let him know. Like, I feel like, you know, you're asking me to go on this vacation together, then I think this is something that you should be taking care of or whatever. Like, and then we can go from there and figure out the conversation. I'm trying to help out. What's the lady name?
Alexis Stoudemire
What is Anonymous?
Terrell Rosado
That's how embarrassing.
Ashley Nicole
Okay, but some people are not there.
Alexis Stoudemire
I'd agree with you, Ashley.
Ashley Nicole
They're learning.
Alexis Stoudemire
They should not be going. They should go and do a staycation.
Ashley Nicole
I don't think the answer to our humble bad email should be like, absolutely not. We not finna like, no, like, let, like, okay, no, this shouldn't. I don't think you should go on this trip and pay for yourself. But it should be a conversation.
Alexis Stoudemire
100% should be a conversation.
Terrell Rosado
I'm gonna going to speak for myself and speak for you, because I want you to understand how we would deal with this situation, all three of us on this platform. If he cannot pay your bill, your portion, and he have asked you, y'all don't need to be going on no trip, because guess what? When you go on that cruise, you. You got to pay everything. Everything. No, it's not worth it.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's not worth it.
Terrell Rosado
Let's have a conversation for yourself.
Ashley Nicole
Don't speak for me. Speak for you. And let's begin.
Terrell Rosado
Let's have a conversation.
Ashley Nicole
I don't agree.
Colgate Palmolive Advertiser
Hold on.
Terrell Rosado
Ashlyn, you done said your point. Let me talk.
Ashley Nicole
But you was trying to speak for me. I can't speak for y'all.
Terrell Rosado
Let me have a conversation and say we're not ready to plan. Let's, like you do, figure it out. And once you have it figured out, then you can plan us a trip. But I'm not spending 50%. That. And when you invited me on a trip, you need to have it together.
Alexis Stoudemire
Or you can stay at home. That's. It's cheaper to stay at home. If you cannot afford it, you should not be going. Because then it's going to be other things that are going to come from that. You're going to have some. Some. Some issues. Some you don't. You know, I don't want to do this. It's like pulling out your. Your card every other time or like trying to keep checks and balance. It's very expensive. It's time consuming, and if you cannot afford it, then I feel like you guys should not go. So plain and simple.
Terrell Rosado
Exactly. That's how it is. Figure it out. Get your stuff together. When you got your stuff together. Me as a woman. You're a man. I want you to be able to be a man. I shouldn't have to 50% on a trip that you asked me to go on. So once we figure this out, then we can come back and have that conversation about what? We going on this cruise on this royal palace.
Alexis Stoudemire
Because you think about it, you're using your vacation hours, your vacation days from your job, like, all these things. You want some souvenirs, you want to upgrade, you want to go parasailing, you.
Terrell Rosado
Want to do the excursion.
Alexis Stoudemire
I mean, you want to have all. You want to have everything. It's vacation. A year and a half. Like, that's my thing. A year and a half. They've been together. So there we go. Those better. Are those some gummies? Look at.
Terrell Rosado
Ashley ain't hearing that. She's talking about something. Let's have a conversation and talk it out.
Ashley Nicole
No, I ain't trying to ruin nobody relationship.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's just they. I don't think they can afford it. Like, it's gonna cause more. Obviously it's something because she's asking us and we're giving our opinions on it. And if a man is courting you, y'all been together for a year and a half, and he said, like, you know, let's go on this vacation. Y'all doing this. And he's inviting her. And I feel like. And then you're gonna turn around and be like, but you gotta give me half. What if she's like, I can't afford it? A half, so we don't need to be going. And then now he's been locked in on something, and now y'all feeling some kind of way. Because now you gotta get a flight. You gotta, you know, make sure you got a hotel the night before. All these things. It's a lot.
Terrell Rosado
Yes. Every spot gotta pay for the WI fi.
Alexis Stoudemire
The WI fi, yes. Everything. I mean, I don't know.
