I think Drake makes good music, but I think he has to be focused on making the music that we like and stop trying to now be the competitor of Kendrick Lamar. We all know you're lyrically not Kendrick Lamar, and that's okay. You know what I mean? Kendrick Lamar is a lyrical genius. You are not. But you make great music. You're a pop star, you're an artist, you're a hit. You. You hit. So just focus on making Kiki do you love me? And stop trying to make these deep lyrical songs because that's not what people rock with you for.
Paul Pierce
This is the taking over, the. All right, everybody. Welcome to Truth After Dark.
Cesar 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, Cesar Faraday.
Paul Pierce
Paul Pierce, the Truth.
Cesar Faraday
So, yeah, Drake dropped some albums. That's been the talk of the town right now. Three albums, 42 songs. Have you got a chance to listen to some of it?
Paul Pierce
Yeah, I listened to some of it, but, you know, it's hard when you first get it. I ain't heard it all the way through. It's three albums. First of all, it's gonna take a minute to really, like, pay attention to it. There's some songs initially that I like, but I haven't had a real opportunity to like, really, you know, you don't really know an album till like another like a month later. Yeah, you listen to it and then you give, like, criticism at the beginning and you're like, oh, hold on, this is really popping. You know what I'm saying? But I will tell you what critics are saying. Who's been through it already? There's already people before I even go through it and make my evaluation of it, there's say that the album feels repetitive and that Drake is relying too much on familiar sounds instead of evolving. I mean, I could see that maybe in some of the songs I've heard, it sounds like some of the other music he's made and then other things that releasing 40 songs at once diluted the best material instead of making one focused album. So, you know, we'll. We'll see. You know, we are. Because every Drake album, I was like, at the beginning, like, oh, no, let's see. You know, it's a couple of. That was out the gate. First listen, it was like, whoa. And then after I listened to it for, like, a couple weeks, I was like, okay, this is popping. So right now. I don't know right now. What about you?
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, I don't know right now.
Paul Pierce
Dang.
Cesar Faraday
I'm just like, you know, all the
Paul Pierce
songs I didn't already played for, you've been hating on them.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah. And I feel like someone said this. Drake equals Kevin Hart, KDOT equals Katt Williams, and J. Cole equals Dave Chappelle. And I will not be explaining further. And I get that 100%. I feel like Drake is a sellout. And I feel like at the end of the day, I. I listen. I like Drake's music. I think Drake makes good music, but I think he has to be focused on making the music that we like and stop to now be the competitor of Kendrick Lamar. We all know you're lyrically not Kendrick Lamar, and that's okay. You know what I mean? Kendrick Lamar is a lyrical genius. You are not. But you make great music. You're a pop star, you're an artist. You're a hitting you. You hit. So just focus on making Kiki do you love me? And stop trying to make these deep lyrical songs, because that's not what people rock with you for. Don't reinvent the wheel, Drake. You became famous for a reason. And let's. Let's stick to. Stick to that vibe. It's summertime. Stick to that vibe.
Paul Pierce
All right, well, there we have it. I still have.
Cesar Faraday
And he may have songs like that. I haven't listened to all the album. Album.
Paul Pierce
Before you go, you went in off the few songs you.
Cesar Faraday
Because songs.
Paul Pierce
It was like, this is just not it.
Cesar Faraday
So I.
Paul Pierce
We ain't feeling this.
Cesar Faraday
I listened to the whole Iceman album.
Paul Pierce
Damn.
Cesar Faraday
The whole Iceman album. Album. But it's two more albums. But you made one whole album. That's just like trash. You just put it out just to put it out.
Paul Pierce
Damn, that's wild.
Cesar Faraday
But maybe when I run it back, I will like it more. So we'll see.
Paul Pierce
Give it a shot. Damn, that's like first date vibes was over.
Cesar Faraday
I think if the first date is bad, are you going on a second?
Paul Pierce
But you ain't got through the date yet. You already just ordered the appetizer and got to the main course, went to the bathroom ti that you want to leave.
Cesar Faraday
You could feel it right off bat.
Paul Pierce
Damn. All right, well, we'll see.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, you could be.
Paul Pierce
Damn.
Cesar Faraday
You can feel it.
Paul Pierce
What's up, everybody? First off, this is sponsored by ro. You ever feel like you're doing everything right, eating better, staying active, but the results just aren't showing up? And then you hear about weight loss injections, but it feels confusing, expensive, or just out of reach.
Cesar Faraday
That's exactly why I like what RO is doing. They've made it easier to just start. They have this free insurance checker tool where you can submit your insurance and in a few days they'll send you a report showing which GLP1 medications are covered. And if you need prior authorization, no guesswork, no calling around, and you don't even have to be a member to use it. And if you don't have insurance or it's not covered, you're not stuck. RO also offers more affordable FDA approved cash pay options shipped right to your door. How amazing is that? If you decide to move forward, you'll go through an online medical visit. And if you qualify based on things like BMI labs and your medical history, a ROE affiliated provider can help guide you through treatment. Plus, you get ongoing support if you need it. So if you've been putting this off because it feels overwhelming or too expensive to, this is really, really the best first step for you. Go to RO Truth. That's RO Col Truth. For your free insurance check and for full safety information, go to RO Co Safety. Okay, so another thing, speaking of a tough crowd, another thing that's just been going crazy on the Internet is our girl because I'm, you know, I love Dr. Cheyenne Bryant. She is getting roasted online because they are questioning the credibility of her degrees and her doctrine. And basically she went on the Breakfast Club and they asked her to explain, you know, why she doesn't show her doctorate or what does she say about, you know, people wanting to see it. And she said basically that her university that she went to got shut down, closed, and then they transferred the transcript somewhere and they only keep the records for two years.
Paul Pierce
So this is what Dr. Cheyenne.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, they only keep the record for two years.
Paul Pierce
So she said that in the interview?
Cesar Faraday
Yes.
Paul Pierce
Oh, so let me say, let me see that, Let me see. Can we pull that up, the conversation
Cesar Faraday
about your doctorate because people can't find your dissertation online. How are you responding to that in this new era of your life? I'm going to clear it up once on here. I'm not doing it again. And I'm clearing it up for my doc squad, for my fan base, for my audience who Deserve to hear me address it for the folks who have already made up their mind to not like me or not understand me. Listen, I don't give a what your narrative is. I would like for you to recreate it, double down on it and run that because I don't give a about it now to my doc squad, my fan base, my folks, you know, my village. It's very simple. I went to a school, Argos University, completed an entire program. I went back online to get my official transcripts because I was applying to a law school many years ago to be a professor there. And I had to provide my transcripts right to get hired. And I went to contact the school and said, hey, I need my transcripts. I need my entire thing. And there was no school. I was like, okay, I'm confused. I Google it says, this school has been shut down. I said, oh, well, they gotta have records. I mean, they were accredited when I attended the school. They were accredited when I finished the program. I go and look, there is a third party that has the records. Why contact the third party? That third party only holds records for two years. I was past my two years, so that means that I had no access to records. And then I contacted, you know, financial aid. You can't make up financial aid. It shows that I paid for a doctoral program alongside my master's program and my undergrad program. And they said, we can fully refund your money under one circumstance. We give you your money back you don't get credit for not a class A course, a program you took in this university at this, this institute. So do you want us to refund you or do you want us not? I said, no, that was a lot
Paul Pierce
to intake right there. So, all right, I listened to it. And this is my opinion on that. I get it, that people want to tear Mr. Mrs. Dr. Cheyenne.
Cesar Faraday
Dr. Cheyenne.
Paul Pierce
And you have to listen what she said because I'm like, yeah, maybe she isn't a credentialed doctor like everybody else is who's in this space, but she's made a lane to where she became famous off of being in this lane. And so many people wanted to do it. And she said, I heard her. She said, I created my own lane. Did you hear that part? She created her own lane to where. Listen, if people are going to listen to my advice and I can change lives and I can help you go from a negative to a positive, regardless of my credentials, do I have to go to school to be qualified? Like people feel like you got to go to school to be qualified, to be at a certain level. And I get it. I feel like if you're changing lives and you're able to say, walk away from Dr. Cheyenne, like, damn, that really helped me out. Just because she put doctor in front of her. I mean, people do that all the time. You think she's the only one? No, she's the most famous one. There's a lot of people that I know that got the doctor stay. Nowhere near got the credentials for that. So I'm just like, man, she created this lane. Once she's grow, she's grow, she's getting bigger and bigger. Now people are like really questioning and like, oh, where is this your license for the people who like, listen, man, she has created something that's like positive, she's influential and to some degree she knows what she's talking about. Because these people who go to school that become doctors in intellect and conversation to where you're psychologist and you can do things, therapists and all these things to get the doctor. Just because you went by the book, that don't mean she's less qualified. She did it a different way.
Cesar Faraday
But she's saying she does have her doctorate in her stuff.
Paul Pierce
Yeah, but like people questioning if she don't, even if she don't and she can't prove it. She changing lives is what I'm saying. And I go back and I was telling my boy this. I was telling him, I was like, have you ever seen that movie, something the Lord made? You know, Mos Def was a janitor. He worked with a doctor. He learned all the doctor stuff. He learned the first surgery, how to cure blue babies. But he didn't went to school for this. He just studied in there on his own. Learned, watching, doing all this stuff. And then he learned it. So does that make him. He changed the world without the license. He changed the world and so now does that make him not qualified to like? And the one, the person who got the credit was the doctor who he learned that from. He got the credit for his work. And so does that make the doctor more qualified? Or the person who showed the doctor that he was qualified even though he didn't have a license. So in saying that, like, man, she let her do what she do. She said she created her own lane. She changing lives, she's being successful. And that's what I feel about it. That's my take on it.
Cesar Faraday
Nice. Okay.
Paul Pierce
You know what I'm saying? So shout out to Dr. Cheyenne. Keep doing what you're doing.
Cesar Faraday
Keep doing your thing.
Paul Pierce
Keep Doing your thing. If people want to question you. Listen, you, you. You can't get to the top without people that's gonna hate on you. You gotta understand, you gonna go through some hell to get where you need to be. It ain't no easy climb. You climbing?
Cesar Faraday
She climb. And I like Dr. Cheyenne Bryant. I think she's great. Shout out, Dr. Cheyenne. You know, I'm not in the business of trying to discredit people from what they say they got. Like, people are too invested in other people's lives. I get it. But at the same time, it's like you just gotta let people do their thing. And if she's creating a positive impact on the black community, then what's the problem?
Paul Pierce
Let me ask you this. Like, people who go to school for marketing, right? And what is marketing? Sell something right? Is that pretty much what mark you marketing? You're trying to sell something, right?
Cesar Faraday
Yeah.
Paul Pierce
I know cats on the street that can market the out of something. That neighbor went to school. Yeah, that like, that'll be. Are they less qualified?
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, but there's. They. They might not know how to do certain things.
Paul Pierce
They can sell you something better than the person.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, but see, this is the thing that I will say. And I'm not a big school person because again, I'm someone who, you know, I'm not on that like. But I will say that with school and knowledge, he can sell me something, but he might not have the strategies that someone who went to school has to operate this business on a high level. Not going to hire the man off the street because he doesn't know how to strategize and do projections and do. No, no, they don't.
Paul Pierce
They do.
Cesar Faraday
Okay.
Paul Pierce
Some of the biggest businessmen in this world were coke dealers. Think about the. These cats, you think these. These are cats that sold coke around the world, right? So, like, think about Pablo Escobar. Like these. They did. They go to school, but they didn't go to school for what they did. But they learned marketing, they learned production, they learned distribution, and they made a lot of money. That. I don't think you went to school for that. Come on now. Shoot. Some of the richest. And I know it's a legal cartel, but it's like when you break it down to how they made it there, you had all of that, and then it was no school that taught them that.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, listen, I'm big on, like, I'm. School never was for me. I went the ghetto route. Like, I'm big on school not having to be everything I'M big on that because I'm self taught. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I think that it just depends on, you know, what it is. Because again, like a doctor not going to school and having a doc like that's operating on me like a surgeon or something. Like, I'm not messing with that.
Paul Pierce
Right.
Cesar Faraday
Like I need to see even a lash. You know what else? Even a lash technician, if you don't have your license. I'm not doing. You're not doing my lashes. Because you don't know the little small things of cleanliness and sanitize, sanitization and what to do. The little things you learn in school can sharpen your skill set and sharpen you in a way that you may not have. And that's why I don't even necessarily say school. I say knowledge is power. I'm self taught.
Paul Pierce
Yeah, you can learn anything.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, you can learn things without school. I think knowledge is just important and knowledge is power. School I don't think about.
Paul Pierce
I don't think. My barber didn't go to barber school. He cut me at the house.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, but he has a certificate for bar. Yes, he does.
Paul Pierce
My barber. No, I'm talking about back in the day when I was living, when I was in Inglewood. He come cut my hair in the garage. The homie. Boom. He didn't have no barber certificate. He was just cutting everybody around. He learned. He didn't have no, he didn't have no lice. That don't mean he couldn't cut. He was, he was slicing everybody. I cut her up in the hood
Cesar Faraday
right there in the garage. I think that. I'm with you. I don't think school is.
Paul Pierce
You can learn stuff without having the certificate. You can learn just as much or even more without having to go through the, through the ladder that, that the society has made us go through to get to where we need to go. They put us in a, in a, in a certain situation, like you have to go this route.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, I agree with you.
Paul Pierce
And spend your time in the system. Like now people is learning that without going that route.
Cesar Faraday
I'm saying I agree with you on that. I 100 agree with that.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
No, yeah. It's certain things that people just want.
Paul Pierce
Like, like if he, if he defended some cases, you act like it ain't nobody that's not defended. They self and won. Is that a case there cases of that he didn't go to law school. He, you know what? He was in there while he was waiting on his boom. Huh.
Cesar Faraday
Most of those cases don't win.
Paul Pierce
But somebody's done it, though.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah. Just because someone did it once or twice, you're not going to hire a lawyer to go through some real. That you.
Paul Pierce
A lot of people can't afford lawyers.
Cesar Faraday
Okay.
Paul Pierce
Straight up, I'm telling you.
Cesar Faraday
I think at the end of the day, I'm. I'm with you. I don't feel like school is everything. So, you know what I mean?
Paul Pierce
You know, this is all we talking about, you know, based on Dr. Cheyenne.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah. I think Dr. Cheyenne is doing her big one. Keep doing your thing, sis. I love you, and I think that you're shining.
Paul Pierce
I would love to have you back, too.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, I love Dr. Cheyenne to, like,
Paul Pierce
kind of clarify everything and, you know. You know that.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, I love me some Dr. Cheyenne Bryant. Okay, so moving on from that, I feel like everyone's been talking about this Kevin Hart roast, and there's been controversy behind it. And one particular line, that Tony Henchcliffe. I think that's his name. Yeah, he. Which I have no idea who that is, by the way. Do you know who he is? Who is that?
Paul Pierce
Who is what?
Cesar Faraday
Tony Hinchcliffe. Like, what has he done? What does he do? What? Who is he?
Paul Pierce
One of the comedians on the roast.
Cesar Faraday
He's a comedian. Okay, okay. So he's a comedian, and he said a line about George Floyd and his brother. Actually, George's brother spoke out about it as well as a retired NBA player, Stephen Jackson.
Paul Pierce
Can we play the clip with him talking about it on the roast? Like, Bill Cosby Hart is a black comedian from Philadelphia, and like, Bill Cosby,
Cesar Faraday
women don't know when Kevin is inside of them. You've done good, though, Kevin. The black community is so proud of you.
Paul Pierce
Right now, George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard that he can't breathe.
Cesar Faraday
God bless you, Kevin. God bless this room, and God bless
Paul Pierce
the United States of America. Thank you so much. Like, I just ain't with speaking on, like, something that the dead. Like, that's not cool. That's not funny to me. And I don't know if it was like a script to this or it was nothing you could do because it was live and he just came out with it. But.
Cesar Faraday
But Kevin Hart was dying laughing when he said that. And I think that's what has people enraged, because he's like, George Floyd is. And he even said it, like, choppy and weird, like, and it was like, george Floyd is looking up at you, basically meaning saying, he's in hell. And, like, laughing or whatever the case. Is. And I'm just like, that's not funny to me. And I think that, Kevin, you didn't have to laugh at that.
Paul Pierce
Yeah, I mean, I think that's. That's going into deep in it because I know that I've laughed at something that was some bullshit before. You know, he's just like. Like somebody gave you an offer you wasn't trying to hear and you thought,
Cesar Faraday
no, his laugh was dying laughing though, I don't know.
Paul Pierce
I gotta watch it.
Cesar Faraday
But I do agree with you. I've done. I've gotten cooked online when I did a interview with Columbus Shore and he talks about black woman and I nervous laughed and everyone said that I was. So I still get cooked till this day, people. You messy address the Columbus short interview. I got death threats to my job. Like, that's how bad it was because I nervous laughed at Columbus saying some dumb ass and I don't look black. So they thought that I was a non black woman laughing at black woman. But I was just nervous laughing because I'm like, this is crazy. Like, I was laughing. Like, I know he's lying, but. So I get it and I get the whole thing about a nervous laugh. But I think there are lines in comedy. I guess it's hard because they say that you can just. Just say whatever. But it was very. There was a lot of racist moments, I guess, in that whole roast, but there was a lot of dope moments, too. And they talked about Cheryl Underwood's husband a lot who killed himself.
Paul Pierce
Yeah, I saw that.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah.
Paul Pierce
Part. And after that part, I. I think I had to start to do something. I haven't seen the rest. I'm not feeling that either. That's not funny to me. Talking about the dead and, you know, somebody that was like, dearly to me too.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, that's.
Paul Pierce
I think that's funny. I really. I just. Me personally, I don't think that's funny. And I don't know what goes within the limits or our law, but that's not like, that's not a. That's not funny. Yeah, that's never going to be funny to me neither. Like, it's no situation you could put me into where that's funny. Talking about my, like. And I don't know if they had a conversation, but I don't. I don't even know how that even works. You know, even if we had a conversation out of. Okay. It just. Me as a jokester shouldn't even feel like I should say that. You know, me as a comedian, I Don't feel like I should say that for laughs, you know what I'm saying? So that's my take on it or whatever. Like, just those little situations like that. That's not funny to me. And I don't know what goes into, like, the TV laws of, like, just.
Cesar Faraday
Well, this is my thing too, with the George Floyd situation. It's such a. Like, that what happened to George Floyd and what continues to happen to black people getting killed and shot is not a joke. And it's something that we still have to argue to white people about, to the police about, and we still have to make a point about it, that black lives actually matter. So when you let a white person come and make a joke about something like that and laugh at it and think that it's all gravy, that's what makes them look at us like a fucking joke. They think they could just make jokes about stuff like that and it's funny. That's not funny. Someone lost their father, their brother, their son, all of that.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
Like, that's to. To the police at the end of the day, like. And this is happening all the time. And they said another thing up there. I forgot what it was, but it was something about. I don't know.
Paul Pierce
You've seen it overall. What did you think of it? I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
Cesar Faraday
Clips, but I like the cat. Williams was really good. Katt is hilarious. Cheryl Underwood was really funny.
Paul Pierce
I saw that. They squashed the beef, him and Kat.
Cesar Faraday
They squashed the beef? Yeah, they squashed the beef.
Paul Pierce
Yeah. I saw that on the clips on social media. But I need to sit down and watch it.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, it was really. It was good. Regina hall was funny. I love her. Cheryl Underwood, Katt Williams, those are the people who stood out to me personally. The Rock came up. He wasn't funny. Serena and Venus came. They weren't funny. Teyana Taylor wasn't funny. I think it's just people trying to be funny, but it's not.
Paul Pierce
You know, they probably had a script.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, they had a script, and you could tell they're reading it and it's very. Like, you just want the name of the person there. But it wasn't good. Yeah, but those three people were great to me outside of that. I kind of skipped through a lot of it because it was just, well, I'll get it.
Paul Pierce
Let me get a chance. I'm gonna watch it.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah.
Paul Pierce
Because I know. I saw the clips. I saw with some funny moments. So I want to check it out. I'LL check it out it up.
Cesar Faraday
Okay, so there's this question, right, that they're asking women. And I've seen it happen a few times because there's like, you know how people are outside and they ask women, like, questions or whatever just walking past. So they've been asking this question and they asked a woman on the podcast recently, would you rather be a side chick to a athlete, like a current athlete, or would you rather be married to a plumber? And so she answered like, that's really hard. And Tony Baker respond to it is like, shut the hell up. He's like, I'm so sick of these conversations. Like, why is that even hard to answer? Right? Like, you would rather be a side chick to Stefan Diggs than be a married to a plumber who can actually have a successful plan. Plumbers make money. I hope. I hope you all know that plumbers can have. It's not an attractive job, but there's a thing now where women are like, I only want a man with an attractive job.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
Like construction. Like, construction man. They make bank. Longshoremen's. Like, they make money. Like they're making like a cool amount to really be able to put you up, get you somewhere cracking. But women are like, I only want attractive jobs now, which are what? I guess athletes, actors, musicians, Entertainment.
Paul Pierce
Entertainment.
Cesar Faraday
Sports and entertainment. And the people rather be a side chick than married to a man who has a successful business is. That's not an attractive job. That blows me. That blows me. I don't give a damn if a man was changing lights and he was making cool money and you happy sitting, right? Because you know what a lot of women get with these men and they don't even take care of them financially. You just like the idea that they have money and the ain't even doing for you, period. You just like the idea of, oh, I'm with this man. Oh, I'm messing with this person. You just like that idea. But you don't even be getting nothing. But this plumber man could be building you a whole life. Build you a house. Have you a whole house, cars, everything. Good. Really taking care of you and respecting you like you're his wife.
Paul Pierce
All right, what about this?
Cesar Faraday
Yeah.
Paul Pierce
After two years, would you rather be dumped as a side piece or dumped by the plumber? Divorce and everything.
Cesar Faraday
I'm never going to be a side piece, so I can't answer that question. I've never been one and I haven't.
Paul Pierce
Which one would you rather be dumped by?
Cesar Faraday
I wouldn't be dumped by any of these men. I'm not. Men are not dumping women, so I wouldn't.
Paul Pierce
Men are dumping women. Are you crazy?
Cesar Faraday
You always say men don't. You just said men don't divorce women. Women are the ones who always leave.
Paul Pierce
But men, there's the percentage that do.
Cesar Faraday
I'd rather be dumped by my husband. Then by a side, please. Because how are you dumping me? And I'm a whole side chick that's
Paul Pierce
really done talking to you. These checks is the rent stop being paid. These cardinals. We done.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, I'd rather my husband. I mean, hopefully we could work it out, you know, But I'm not. I'm not gonna be a side piece to anybody. No, but I'm saying women in general should not. Women are thinking that they are going to be side pieces because they feel
Paul Pierce
like that's the market now.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, the market now is that side chicks are winning because they don't have to deal with him for real. The wife has to deal with his attitudes, his mood swings, his. His major life. Side chicks just get to do the sneaky link type situations where they get to go on a trip, maybe they get to get back so they can shut up. Because another thing is women are blackmailing these men. So now they're getting all this money and they're getting like. It's a come up. Because as soon as I become your side chick, the. The newest thing is I'm gonna blackmail you, right? And now when I blackmail you, I don't even have to mess with you no more. I could just blackmail you for however long. Matt Barnes paid an AI 60,000.
Paul Pierce
That's not confirmed.
Cesar Faraday
He. He talked about it himself. Yes, he came out and didn't he? He came out and talked about it himself about like. He had to come clean because he was like, I have to come clean because this is crazy. He's married now. You know, he's not doing any of that. He's on a clean path and he's not on nothing. But what I'm saying is. And now, you know what's so funny is they men got to be careful with AI because I noticed I go to a lot of these AI girls and a lot of little men are following, like celebrities. They'll be. They'll be following the AI girls. And I'm like, do they not know this girl is AI? And they look bad, but they're AI. And I'm like, do they not know this girl?
Paul Pierce
I was following this AI girl, right? I was just like, damn, all right. Liking the pictures all that, everything. I was just like. I didn't know she was AI at first. So then I was falling. I was like, damn, how'd she get. She looking better every week. I'm like, I'm like looking like, damn, she getting more and more perky. I'm over here. Like, man, I should keep just getting better. I'm dead and I'm over here. Then I'm like, hey, you know, where you from?
Cesar Faraday
You DM the AI, right?
Paul Pierce
DM the AI. Like, where you from? You know what I'm saying? Then I started looking at it. I was like, damn, she got no action photos. She had all just like close ups. It wasn't nothing like walking down the street. It was just a picture. It was a picture, thousands of pictures. And I was just like, hold on. And I think I got the DM back. And old boy was like, hey, this ain't, this ain't real. And I was like, oh, at least
Cesar Faraday
he didn't play you.
Paul Pierce
It was a dude behind it.
Cesar Faraday
At least he didn't play you. I was like, but this is a new thing. Like, there's all the pages are AI now. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, like I see even the podcast clips, it'd be girls that are saying podcast clips in their AI.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
You know what I'm saying? Like, and it's just a new thing now. So men got to be careful because them AI chicks will trick you and get you out some paper.
Paul Pierce
I'm trying to figure out how to.
Cesar Faraday
But that's another stuff you said. What?
Paul Pierce
I don't know who guy.
Cesar Faraday
Anyways. Yeah, so that's, that's the whole thing. And I feel like, man, you got to be smarter than this. If a woman is AI and you, it's like a whole new emergence right now with all the AI pages. So you got to be careful because it's new and it's cracking. But yeah, I think that with side chicks, they start blackmailing men. And that's the come up right now. That's the new come up, is the babies and the black males. And that's just been the come up
Paul Pierce
now and more than ever, because they can get the phone.
Cesar Faraday
Well, they can screenshot, screenshot, screenshot everything. They record you when you sleep. They doing all of that? Yeah, they doing all that now.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
So you gotta, you gotta be careful.
Paul Pierce
Careful in these streets. God damn.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, you got. Because now it's like back in the day, they probably could cheat way better now. Yeah, it's like, you can't even. You got to be careful what you DM text anything. They gonna screenshot you and put that on their story in a minute.
Paul Pierce
Yeah, for sure.
Cesar Faraday
Anyways, so Pam Greer, who I love, love Pam greer down. She's 76 years old and recently she was interviewed and when she was asked about her sex life, she stated that at 76 years old, she still has orgasms. She has orgasms that last for three days. I never heard of no shit like this.
Paul Pierce
Damn, that's crazy. What is she doing? That's like look like. Damn.
Cesar Faraday
And I have to ask you, Paul,
Paul Pierce
does that even look like since you're
Cesar Faraday
an older man, do you feel like orgasms get better as you age? I feel like for women it. They say that sex gets better for women as they age and for men it feels like they get less sexually active as they age. Is that true? What do you think since you're older?
Paul Pierce
Since I'm old.
Cesar Faraday
You're close to her age. So what is your thoughts?
Paul Pierce
I mean, women are just horny demons anyway. All day life.
Cesar Faraday
What we already know that that sounds crazy. That's ridiculous.
Paul Pierce
And that's not just always, you know, where men. What I think we just be on some chill shit.
Cesar Faraday
Men are not the horny demons women are.
Paul Pierce
This is older man. Older women and older men are too. Two different.
Cesar Faraday
Older women are more horny, they say. And older men are.
Paul Pierce
No, I'm saying as an older women, they, you know, they, they horny as hell. More so than older men. They are, they are. You know, it just, you know, it just. That's what it is. That's what you hear all these older
Cesar Faraday
women like they do say that I'm not an older woman yet, so I can't even speak to it. But I will say that like that
Paul Pierce
means it never changes like women's whole life.
Cesar Faraday
No, it does. That's what they're saying. It gets more. You get more horny when you're older.
Paul Pierce
I'm trying to think. So it's the difference between a. Somebody who in a 20s and 30s
Cesar Faraday
than in a. Yeah, they say they get way more horny. Like women are not as horny like when we're younger like we are. But men are more like. Oh, when they're young, corny, horny, wanna. And so we're having sex with the men as performance, performative sex. But they say when you get older, you start having sex for you.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
And start making sure you're getting off and you're like, do it like this. Get here. You're more comfortable with your body. And you're like, no.
Paul Pierce
Y' all know time is running out. So y'. All.
Cesar Faraday
It has nothing to do with time.
Paul Pierce
It's running out. They better get it in before nobody want to get it in with them.
Cesar Faraday
I don't think that's.
Paul Pierce
I gotta get it in, girl. Because it's gonna be.
Cesar Faraday
I think a man will always gonna be game over. You will always find a man who want to have sex with you at any age. That's not.
Paul Pierce
The older women, they like, oh, oh, her time. She.
Cesar Faraday
I don't believe that. I think that there's women.
Paul Pierce
There's a clock on that woman.
Cesar Faraday
There's. There's a woman. I think at any age a woman can find someone to have sex with, period.
Paul Pierce
It's going to be like once every three years.
Cesar Faraday
That's not true. I feel like my mom is 70 years old down there.
Paul Pierce
No, no, no, no, no, no. Let's not bring them in here. No, no, no, no.
Cesar Faraday
Because I feel like people. No, people will. 76. You don't think someone's. Pam Greer is having orgasms for three days? You don't think she got. She got.
Paul Pierce
Not just sitting there. She ain't just sitting there. No.
Cesar Faraday
Someone she's having sex and then her organs chasms are lasting for three.
Paul Pierce
Oh, I thought she was just. Oh, they was having.
Cesar Faraday
So people are having sex with. You don't think someone's having sex with Pram Greer? Yeah, they are.
Paul Pierce
Greer don't look 76 either.
Cesar Faraday
A lot of women don't look their age when they're happy.
Paul Pierce
No, a lot of women do.
Cesar Faraday
It depends on what nationality looks like.
Paul Pierce
She's 30 still.
Cesar Faraday
You're black. Don't crack. She don't look 30.
Paul Pierce
Superheroes in this equation. She's.
Cesar Faraday
She don't look dirty. But I know a lot of women who are older. My mom looks good for her age. Like people who are older, they don't necessarily look like that. My sister is 50 and she looks so much better than half of these 50 year olds I've seen. She looks young.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
So at the end of the day, like you, it's not like, let's be real.
Paul Pierce
So.
Cesar Faraday
So Jamie Foxx. Have you seen his baby moms?
Paul Pierce
All of them? No, I haven't seen none of them.
Cesar Faraday
Oh, let me show you them. Hold on. Because we're gonna put a picture of them up. So Jamie Foxx recently did a special where he was like, I'm not messing with no more white women anymore.
Paul Pierce
When was this?
Cesar Faraday
This was Recently. So this is his first baby mom right here. Okay. This is his second baby mom.
Paul Pierce
Okay. Too.
Cesar Faraday
So then this is his most. So he said recently that he's not having no white. He's like, I'm not messing with no more white woman.
Paul Pierce
Yeah. He a comedian, right?
Cesar Faraday
Yeah. But he recently just is having. He's having a baby now.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
With this new. This girl right here. So people are dragging him because they're like, first of all, you said that you weren't. Listen, I don't have a problem with Jim Fox because Jamie Foxx never talks down on black women. He never says nothing bad about black woman. Does he have a preference of an older white lady? Yes. Is that what you want? Cool. I've seen Jamie Foxx out multiple times with older white women. That's his vibe. That's cool. You know what I'm saying? My mom was single. She would probably try to get it cracking with him. She's not white, though. But the point is, is Jamie Foxx has a type, so who cares? Does he talk bad about black women? No. Should he have said that in his comedy special? Yeah, because it was funny.
Paul Pierce
It was on stage.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah.
Paul Pierce
Oh, come on, y'. All. Y' all reaching. He said, I'll never on stage during this comedy, though. Yeah. I mean, come on.
Cesar Faraday
I don't think the black woman should. Community should feel away about this because he doesn't. I only feel a way about men who. Who want to bring down black women and always talk about black women in a negative light and then uplift the other race. I don't. If you're not doing that. He don't talk bad about black women ever. And so that's be my problem with people dating outside of their race. Date outside of your race.
Paul Pierce
He's never done that talk down on black women. And he has three mothers of his kids that are white. Why are people coming for.
Cesar Faraday
Well, Natalia Summers, she called his actions coonery for trying to appease to his black audience during his last comedy special.
Paul Pierce
Wouldn't he try to appease his black comedies? People be black.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, but they're saying that he was using that to, like, get. Gain a bigger black fan base.
Paul Pierce
He didn't need to do all. He got a big black fan base.
Cesar Faraday
But that's what they're saying. I'm telling you what they're saying.
Paul Pierce
I know. This is just critics.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah. I think that a black man can be more attracted to white woman and still support black women. Yes. What your attraction is is what your attraction is. It doesn't matter. People are attracted to who they like. And I'll never forget, I was. I used to work with this white man and he. I remember he told me one day, he's like, I am so not attracted to black women at all. He was like, I like white women. Flat butt, flat chest. Like, give me that. No. That's what he told me. And I respected him. Like, I didn't think he was racist. I didn't think anything. He was like, that's what I really like. Like, I don't like big butts. I don't like black women. I'm just physically not attract them in any way. And it didn't make me seem like, oh, he's racist. People have what they're attracted to. Like, I'm not attracted to white men. I'm not racist towards white men, but I don't find white men attractive. Yeah, that just is what it is. I don't. I don't find other races attractive. Like, I've only, like, not all other races. Like, there's a lot of attractive races. But I'm saying, like, white. I've never been with a white man before, ever in my life. It's my preference. I'm not racist. I love white people, I guess, but like, I'm not racist, you know? So I think you can have a preference and not be racist. I think white people can say, I'm only attracted to white people and not be racist.
Paul Pierce
Yeah, I mean, you know, at the end of the day, you like what you like.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, that's how I feel.
Paul Pierce
Yeah. So, Jamie, keep doing what you're doing.
Cesar Faraday
I love some Jamie fox.
Paul Pierce
You know, no matter what they trying to say about what your personal preference is for the kids. The mother of your kids.
Cesar Faraday
Exactly. He has three baby mamas. This one is younger though. She's like 30 something. So. All right, he's going a little younger than the order. Okay, so there's been a new report that came out stating that dating.
Paul Pierce
My bad. I didn't try to do that. I didn't even try to do that.
Cesar Faraday
What are you doing?
Paul Pierce
I didn't even try to do that. That was. I was listening. Critiquing the new Drake. Still.
Cesar Faraday
You. Are you interested in these conversations? Because you seem uninterested right now.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
Okay. Are you sure?
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
Okay,
Paul Pierce
Just play. I was just playing with you. I was just messing with you. Go on, go on.
Cesar Faraday
Okay. There's a new report that came out stating that dating has gotten so expensive that u. S. Singles say it's no Longer worth it. The average night out being 200. Does dating have to be expensive? Meaning do you feel like it's required for a man to spend a certain amount of money to date or to show that he actually cares?
Paul Pierce
I mean, we gotta. I think it's age groups, you know what I'm saying? That you have to put this in a category because, like, you know, people in their 30s dating is gonna go somewhere more mature, sit down. Where it's probably cost more for somebody in that age than it's like in your early 20s, you know?
Cesar Faraday
But I think these early 20 girls, now, they're expecting that too. They're worse. Yeah, they're worse because I talked to my nephew and he's in that he has a girlfriend now, but he was saying, like, dating these girls. He had a girl.
Paul Pierce
Expensive. Dating is expensive. Walking out the house is expensive.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, walking out the house is a hundred dollars.
Paul Pierce
Cost money to walk out the house.
Cesar Faraday
Minimum 100.
Paul Pierce
Like, ma'. Am.
Cesar Faraday
But then being in the house starts to make money because then you on Amazon and you spending money. You think you're staying in the house, saving money, but now you're on Amazon buying.
Paul Pierce
You're getting discounts. You ain't getting a discount when you walk out. I'm bargain shopping. And when I'm on Amazon, but outside is set price. You go out on a date, it's minimum 200. Oh, you want an Uber, too? Oh, damn. Oh, valet Uber. Which one? Oh, you dry. You need appetizer, dessert after the dinner, too.
Cesar Faraday
You shouldn't have to get a dessert.
Paul Pierce
All right, no dessert. Let's go somewhere after for more drinks. Drinks involved, too. Oh, damn. We both want at least two drinks. That's already 200. Boom. Now you want a meal. Oh, no, you can't get the meal. You get two drinks. What? You want two drinks or a meal? You have the three drinks. If you don't get the appetizer, go get. You get three drinks. If you do the appetizer, go three drinks or no appetizer. Meal or two drinks, an appetizer.
Cesar Faraday
You know what? I feel like I'm a cheap date because I don't eat a lot.
Paul Pierce
Let's go out, get two drinks in the appetizer.
Cesar Faraday
I could do that. I could share. I could share. Get you a nice little Caesar salad.
Paul Pierce
I'm get that shrimp cocktail.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, I could do that. I could do that. I can have that. I can have a drink. Or I could. I'm really down to just go have a drink. Yeah, like, let's Just have a drink and see if we even like each other. Like, one drink, two drinks, right? And just see if it's a vibe. I don't even have to go to dinner on the first date with you. I could just go get a few drinks, see if I'm feeling you, see if the vibe is right. Don't start dming me talking about you want to take me for a few drinks drinks either, because y' all be going crazy in the dms. I'm not going on drinks with y'. All. But the point is, is I would do that, though. I think that's a. That's a. That's a cool move. Like, I don't want to commit to a whole dinner with you anyways. I don't know you. I don't know if I like you. Yeah, you know, like, I don't. I don't need free. A free meal.
Paul Pierce
But you're not coming into, like, that. You coming into the day like, oh, okay, this is a possibility, you know? You ain't coming in like, oh, no.
Cesar Faraday
It's been so long since I dated that it's just like, I don't even know. I never really dated like that, you know, I never really dated, like, a bunch of people. And out in the date scene, but, you know, people say it's a vibe.
Paul Pierce
Okay.
Cesar Faraday
You know what I mean? Okay. So what's a lot like dating and hitting it, you know, I haven't really been on the dating scene in so long that I don't know how that goes. I never really go.
Paul Pierce
First of all, when somebody says, I haven't really did something.
Cesar Faraday
Well, no, I. I really haven't. I haven't been on the dating scene, you know, like, dating multiple people and, like, going out with different men and drinks and this. I haven't really done that. Like, I. I've been out with a person, and then it's like, next episode, we're locked in for life. We're just locked in for years. Like, that's kind of how it's been for me. I haven't really had the opportunity to be like, oh, I'm gonna go well on a bunch of dates with a bunch of different men. I think that sounds exhausting to me. I don't want to have to do that, and I really don't want to d bunch of different people at the same time. I just feel like I would be so drained. How are you? What do you like to do for fun? What's your favorite color? Do you have this? Do you have Kids, I don't want to do that.
Paul Pierce
Just. I got no patience as an older lady.
Cesar Faraday
Just patience. I don't have patience as an older lady, honey. I don't want to know. I don't care about none of that small talk. What's up? Like, are we vibing? Are we connecting?
Paul Pierce
First hour. All right? First hour. Drink.
Cesar Faraday
All right.
Paul Pierce
The drink over with. We. All right.
Cesar Faraday
I'm good.
Paul Pierce
I'm good. I'm good. Don't call me no more.
Cesar Faraday
Because, you know. No, because you know if you're vibing or not.
Paul Pierce
Have you, like, all right, I'm good, right? I'm good.
Cesar Faraday
I've been on. So. I have been on a bad date, though. I went on a date with this guy. He was an NFL player, and he was like, you know, and I had a thing, like, where I never. I said I would never date Ashley. Okay? So the point is, is I never. It was, like, out of my thing. I didn't really want to date him.
Paul Pierce
I.
Cesar Faraday
The point is, is you keep telling about.
Paul Pierce
You didn't want to be sad. The date. Tell the story.
Cesar Faraday
We went on the date.
Paul Pierce
Thank you.
Cesar Faraday
We went on the date, and he was at the date with me, and we were talking about, like, different things. He was like, yeah, right before I came here, I just had to beat my dog's ass. And I'm like, what? And he was like, yeah, I be beating my dogs. Da, da, da, da, da. And I'm like, okay, cool, whatever. Then he's like, yeah, I have a daughter. She's 5, and so, like, I make her call me daddy, bring me my plates. But it was weird how he was saying it. And I'm like, what? And then he's like, you know, the perfect. The perfect world, like, for me is, I'll give you everything that you want. He was like, you can have a kid. I'll put you in a house. I'll marry you. I'll do that. If you want to make that arrangement, you need to delete your social media, and you need to. He was like, and for me, my perfect world is, like, me laying in the middle of the bed with a bunch of bitches around me. He was like, so you need to be okay that I will be doing that on the side as well. And I'm like, it is crazy because Donald Glover was sitting right next to us, and he was looking like, this is crazy. And I was looking at him. He was with his wife. And I'm like, this is nuts. And I went to the bathroom. When I came back he was like, I thought you were gonna leave like when you went to the bathroom. And I was like, well there's no door back there. I checked.
Paul Pierce
Damn.
Cesar Faraday
And then I seen him year like not like maybe like six months ago when I was out with my sister, my brother in law, we were at Boulevard Steak or whenever this was like last year, I don't remember. And he was there and he had like lost weight and he was like, came up and he was like, hey, I remember you. Like I want to give you, like I want to try again. I was in a dark place. I was in a really bad place. Like, let's do it again and let's gotta go on a date. And I was like, nah, I'm cool, like I'm not going out with you no more. I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm cool.
Paul Pierce
That was crazy.
Cesar Faraday
It was such a crazy situation. And he was so weird and he was so strange, like. And he had, what's his name? I'm not telling you his name. And he had a dangle earring by the way. You gotta be. I'm not, I'm not telling you all of that. But he was in the NFL currently.
Paul Pierce
He in the NFL now? Yeah, now.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, he's in the NFL currently.
Paul Pierce
What's. What team?
Cesar Faraday
I don't know, I'm not telling you.
Paul Pierce
Is he a lineman? Yeah. You had a lineman?
Cesar Faraday
I don't know what position he was. I just know he was this again
Paul Pierce
when he was dating them. How many years ago?
Cesar Faraday
Years ago. Maybe like three years ago.
Paul Pierce
Oh, that's when you was kind of
Cesar Faraday
like, no, I wasn't chunky, I wasn't big. No, I haven't been big for seven years.
Paul Pierce
Oh, okay.
Cesar Faraday
This was like a few years ago and I was dating another guy and then I went on a date with him and then me and the other guy got in a relationship because I was like, yeah, no. And so I was like, what's up over here?
Paul Pierce
What's up over here?
Cesar Faraday
Yes. No, I really liked the other guy too, but we were just dating so I was like, I'm gonna be open, I'm gonna date someone else. And then after I was told the guy, like, I went on another date cuz I wanted to be honest with him and he was like, oh no, like we're together, you're not going on no other dates, like. And I was like, yeah, okay. But yeah, so it was bad. And that's the last date I can remember I went on. Okay, that was horrible. Okay, so anyways, we're going to answer a fan question and then we're going to do a segment. So someone asked, people always say there are highs and lows in a relationship. How do you identify the difference between the lows and a toxic situation that you should just leave, other than the obvious ones of abuse and cheating from at Jess May Maze?
Paul Pierce
You gotta ask that one again. Damn, that was a lot.
Cesar Faraday
Basically the question is, is how do you know when it's just a low time in your relationship versus this is toxic. And I should walk away because in relationships there's going to be highs and lows.
Paul Pierce
Yeah, well, toxic, it's just happening over and over and over and over again.
Cesar Faraday
Right.
Paul Pierce
So where is the other situation? The low part is just a low part. You know, toxic is just repeatedly happening and, you know, there's nothing you can do to change that. Whereas a low point is just. It's just low. You get through it. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 times of like, you know, stuff that you ain't really feeling that's toxic. And you just going on toxic lasts for years, lows, last weeks, days, months.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, I would say the same. I mean, I would think that you would understand, like, if the person that you're with is taking you further away from who you want to be and you're less in alignment with the person that you're becoming, that's, to me, is a sign of a toxic relationship. Like, women know, like, you get a relationship if you stop being like, bad and looking good and like, fine as hell. That might be a toxic relationship for you because someone dimming your light or taking away from the person that you are or jealous or in competition with you or doesn't want to see you win. Those are signs of someone who is a. Is really. You're sleeping with the enemy. And I've been in a lot of relationships like that and I've been with people who were like, competing with me or didn't want to see me in a. In a good light, you know, and those are signs that, like, that relationship is not for you.
Paul Pierce
Yeah.
Cesar Faraday
You know, and you gotta. You, you know, and I think whoever's asking this question, you know what it is? The fact that you're even asking this question, you know what it is? You know what I mean? If you even have to ask that question.
Paul Pierce
Right.
Cesar Faraday
Okay, so we're gonna do a segment now. This segment is brought to you by Row Body. How much weight can your girl gain while you're In a relationship without you being like, this is crazy.
Paul Pierce
How much weight can your girl gain in a relationship without dude being like, this is crazy.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah. Like, so I used to be 280. So I was in a relationship when I was 280.
Paul Pierce
You had no way up at that point. Nowhere up but up. No way up but up.280.
Cesar Faraday
Well, I don't know. I didn't get with him when I
Paul Pierce
was already at the bottom.
Cesar Faraday
No, I didn't get with him at 280.
Paul Pierce
What you got him? What weight was you at?
Cesar Faraday
I was like, one night, like 190. So I gave, like, no damn way. Yeah, I was.
Paul Pierce
Ain't no damn way. But he saw you go £80 up?
Cesar Faraday
We did. We were together for five years.
Paul Pierce
No way.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, he did.
Paul Pierce
Ain't no way he did. Ain't no goddamn way. Which I had a kid together. No, it was just pure weight gain.
Cesar Faraday
It was pure weight gain. Depression, eating, traveling, eating, eating, eating, eating.
Paul Pierce
That's toxic.
Cesar Faraday
And he wasn't big.
Paul Pierce
Once you gained 20, 20 pounds, that's toxic. You're toxic.
Cesar Faraday
Once you gain 20 pounds, you gain.
Paul Pierce
You're toxic. Yeah, you're toxic if you ain't had no kid or nothing. 20 pounds in a relationship is toxic.
Cesar Faraday
20 pounds is not even a lot.
Paul Pierce
Over the course of how long?
Cesar Faraday
Like, let's say you're with someone for a few years, 20 years.
Paul Pierce
I get it. But like, a couple years, five years,
Cesar Faraday
and they gained 20 pounds in five years.
Paul Pierce
It's gonna shit. So that mean five pounds a year, four pounds a year. Damn. I ain't gonna notice it at first, but by year three, I'm gonna start noticing it, and then I'm gonna start noticing the year. The third year, when you up 12, I'm like, hey, baby, you know, you need to do something about that. You know what I'm saying? I like, you know, it's such a
Cesar Faraday
tricky thing, too, to tell a woman that, you know, like, it's hard to.
Paul Pierce
Let's go work out. Next thing you know, you're gonna be seeing a treadmill in the house.
Cesar Faraday
No, my ex tried to work out with me. I was so out of shape. I was so out of breath trying to do this walk that we would do, and I. He would do the walk three times and stairs and then come back and be like, babe, where you at? Where are you? And I would be so out of breath and out of shape and just huge. I was so big. I was 280, and it was just, like, so uncomfortable on My ankles to, like, walk. And I remember having to get.
Paul Pierce
You had cankles.
Cesar Faraday
I didn't, though. But I still had to, like, when I would come out the couch, I remember this is the moment where I was like, bitch, yeah, you gotta. I came out the couch. Like, I would have to wobble to get up a little bit. And I was like, yeah, this is ridiculous. You can never be this big ever again in your life. And I finally lost the weight. Thank God. While I was with him, I lost the weight. And then people made the story of that's too extreme.
Paul Pierce
That's bipolar management of your weight.
Cesar Faraday
It was what I went through.
Paul Pierce
It is like, you went up, down, up, down.
Cesar Faraday
It wasn't up down. I gained weight and then I lost it and never came back again.
Paul Pierce
Crazy.
Cesar Faraday
And I will honestly say that that was probably the most challenging thing that I've ever had to go through was losing that weight. Like, you have to really. And I wish they had Ozempic and all this shit back then. They didn't have any of that. And I feel like that was. That would have been so much easier for me because I definitely would have got on all of that.
Paul Pierce
So, ladies, if you're dealing with these
Cesar Faraday
Rocco slash truth deals, man, make sure
Paul Pierce
you grab some row dot co.
Cesar Faraday
Truth.
Paul Pierce
Truth. We can get you back in the
Cesar Faraday
game for your free insurance check and get on it. Because if I would have had the help back then, I would have for sure used it, because I'm all for a boost. But I know how it feels to be big and to feel insecure about yourself and to feel like, ugh. And recently I got dragged on Hollywood Unlocked or one of these things because I went on a show with a lady who was. Who's losing weight. Her name is Amber Lover. Just living, baby. And she's a bigger girl right now, but she's in her weight loss journey. And she asked me, do you think that men treat you differently when you're bigger versus when you're how you look now? And I'm like, yes. And I think that women are delusional to not think that.
Paul Pierce
Well, appearance matters.
Cesar Faraday
Yeah, like, you're delusional to think that me being 280 and the way that I look now or the way that I looked before would. Was the same. Like, I don't. That's. You don't attract the same person. You don't attract the same man. You don't. You don't get the same treatment. It's different. And I was in a relationship, so, like, it's not like I was out dating and stuff, but, like, at the same time, I know for a fact, like, you're not getting. Why would a man date a woman who's 300 pounds that can have a woman who's in shape and has a nice body?
Paul Pierce
Damn.
Cesar Faraday
Like, it's just. It's sad to say. And nobody wants to hear the hard truth, but it's just reality.
Paul Pierce
My girl gained 80 pounds. That's not happening. That's not happening.
Cesar Faraday
So if you think your girl starts to gain weight, are you gonna tell her, like, you getting. You're starting to gain weight? Like, when it's like 20, girl, right?
Paul Pierce
Yeah, I like 15. You gotta. It depends on how you proportionate, you know, that played a matter into it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, if you got booty doo, I'm gonna say something.
Cesar Faraday
If you got what booty do, what does booty do?
Paul Pierce
It's where your stomach stick out more than your booty do.
Cesar Faraday
I'm crying. Why have I never heard of that? That's hilarious. That's hilarious. You know, when I was big, my stomach still didn't stick out more than my butt, though. So clock that.
Paul Pierce
All right.
Cesar Faraday
Okay.
Paul Pierce
Put the flicks up.
Cesar Faraday
Clock that. I'll put the flicks up. My stomach still was never bigger. I always been proportioned like. Like this, though.
