• Evelyn praises the cultural significance of Lamar's performance, emphasizing its representation of Black excellence and the inclusion of predominantly Black dancers: "I thought the Super Bowl performance was black as fuck, and I loved it." [17:38]

[Danielle]

That was so beautiful. Like, we laughed, we cried. It was just. It was amazing.

[Evelyn]

It was a beautiful, beautiful event.

[Cherelle]

Yeah, it was. We were not ready for that. Right. But they honored some of the victims of the attack that happened in New Orleans at the beginning of the year. So it was really good to be a part of New Orleans, have the cuisines and experience the streets and many fans from all around the world. Right?

[Evelyn]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Shout out our favorite restaurant. Let's shout out Larry Morrow.

[Cherelle]

[Danielle]

I gotta unbig this back.

[Cherelle]

Girl, stop. Girl, stop. The food was delicious, though. So, yeah, shout out to Morrow's. It was absolutely divine. So speaking of the big main event that just happened on Super Bowl Sunday, how you feel? How you. Okay. So y'all see what's going on, right? As y'all can see, I'm a Kansas City fan. I. I still have love for Kansas City. We were defeated.

[Danielle]

Y'all got y'all ass. Got y'all ass.

[Cherelle]

We did.

[Evelyn]

Thanks.

[Cherelle]

And the best team won. So shout out to the Eagles.

[Evelyn]

Yes.

[Danielle]

I told y'all, if y'all would've listened to me. I said it. I said, the Eagles are gonna come and tear that ass up.

[Cherelle]

And what they did, you know, low key.

[Danielle]

Not only did they tear that ass up, it was a lot of records broken, too.

[Cherelle]

It was. I mean, the sacks were outrageous. I just. I was expecting a better game. I was hoping for a better game. Just as a fan of football.

[Evelyn]

Yeah, the game was pretty. Oh, my goodness, it was a sad game.

[Cherelle]

It was 0 to 24 at halftime. I was just like. At this point, I was like, how are we going to either get back from this, or are we going to end up, like, you know, the underdog? The story of the comeback, which would have been epic, like.

[Danielle]

Like the Patriots and the Falcons.

[Cherelle]

Correct.

[Danielle]

You remember the Falcons was tearing the Patriots up, but then the Patriots came back. Halftime. Was it halftime, third quarter. They came back and won. So I was thinking something like that was going to happen.

[Cherelle]

They do say it was scripted. That's all. The Chiefs.

[Danielle]

Oh, we don't want to hear that.

[Cherelle]

Like, we saying.

[Evelyn]

It's not about this one. There was, like, what, three interceptions?

[Cherelle]

It was.

[Evelyn]

It was.

[Cherelle]

They played horrible. I have never seen a debacle of like that in the magnitude of just heaviness of the Chief, so. But it's okay. We have the last two rings, so not too bad. It's okay to share the wealth, I guess.

[Danielle]

Listen, shout out to Jalen Hurts. He. The award goes. Yes. He's the humble daddy. He's the humble daddy. Jalen Hurts. Through 221 yards. He had two touchdowns.

[Cherelle]

Did that.

[Evelyn]

Yeah.

[Cherelle]

MVP.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Cherelle]

Yeah. So shout out to Jalen Hurts. I was actually cheering for him, too. I just. It's. It's tough because, you know, he has he's led by an all female team, a black agent.

[Danielle]

That's amazing.

[Cherelle]

You know that you can see his love for his fiance and just. We love to see it. We love to see all that. Good.

[Evelyn]

And then shout out to this game in general with two black quarterbacks.

[Cherelle]

Come on now.

[Evelyn]

And it's black.

[Cherelle]

Big deal.

[Evelyn]

I'm rooting for everybody. Black.

[Cherelle]

That's right. That's right.

[Evelyn]

It was a win, win situation.

[Cherelle]

It surely was. It sure was. I cannot complain, like, it was just for that overall, you know, it was definitely a vibe to be able to see it and just really understand it. And then at least us Chiefs fans, we did have something to look out for the halftime performance. Right.

[Danielle]

But did y'all really look out? Like, did y'all really want to see the halftime performance?

[Cherelle]

I did. Absolutely.

[Evelyn]

Main event. I feel like a lot of people tune in more so for the. The halftime performance.

[Danielle]

But see the thing, I feel like people was upset. Did y'all see, like the Twitter, the.

[Cherelle]

Tweets as we know, people gonna have something to say what they were saying.

[Evelyn]

What, Black Twitter or regular Twitter? Cause black Twitter is a whole nother thing.

[Danielle]

They was going in. Black Twitter was going in on the performance.

[Cherelle]

I loved the performance.

[Danielle]

I was turned. I was turned. But I felt like it wasn't to the capacity of what a Super bowl halftime should be.

[Cherelle]

Ooh. I disagree.

[Danielle]

I feel like Lil Wayne would have ripped it out the park. Can't predict his name.

[Evelyn]

But I felt like more people know Lil Wayne's music and for it to be in New Orleans, I feel like it would have hit home better because they were showing, like videos of like the audience and they didn't know the.

[Danielle]

Music what it was. Some songs I didn't even know, like, some of the songs I didn't.

[Evelyn]

I know Kendrick Lamar music. I knew I knew the songs. But if you don't know Kendrick Lamar music like that, I mean, it's hard to get into it because he's a. He's a lyricist.

[Cherelle]

He's a lyricist.

[Evelyn]

You know, it's not just like music. You just. I don't know, it's very. Has. It's very meaningful. And people, I think, were missing his message that he was making.

[Cherelle]

I totally disagree. One, we had the sitting president sitting in the stands. You know, we're coming off of this election and inauguration. Kept singing the song and I wasn't paying attention to him. I know one thing, though. We have a Pulitzer Prize winning artist that is storytelling. And he had the platform on America's biggest stage and not just America. I'm just let's say the world's global stage. It's the NFL. And the fact that he basically told this president in his face, respectfully, not using any curse words and using. He took out a lot of major words that were catchphrases that, you know, we all know to fill in the bank. Yeah. Kendrick was the epitome of social influence and standing on business and justice.

[Danielle]

He is right.

[Evelyn]

I don't think everybody caught it.

[Cherelle]

It translated. I don't know.

[Evelyn]

I think a lot of the people were just sitting there.

[Danielle]

I give us more credit. Pay attention to like his mic. It wasn't clear in the beginning because Kendrick is very controversial. Like he'll say something like he can spit something out.

[Cherelle]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Out of his music quick and it'll just. Yeah. So I felt like the mic was intentionally low until his last song came.

[Cherelle]

I just know that pop culture and the song that everybody is talking about and off of album and song. And just like all these Grammy wins, he stood for so much and I loved it. Like the fact that he was on a game controller, the fact that he had Samuel L. Jackson being Uncle Sam. How we respect Samuel as being one of the highest. He's in the. Some of the highest grossing movies we've ever seen. Right? You have Serena, who is the epitome of black essence and America up in.

[Danielle]

The face like, come on. But she's from.

[Cherelle]

It's just like Kendrick. So she's coming in there and you know, that was the dis. It is. That's fine because you know they're just gonna let us know. And then you just had. You had scissor too. Like, she's also an ex known of Drake as well.

[Danielle]

I didn't know that.

[Cherelle]

So it's just like, you know, to.

[Danielle]

Me, Kendrick was being petty. He was, he was.

[Cherelle]

But everyone in unison in that whole super bowl and even at home saying a minor. So if you didn't know the words, you knew those two words.

[Danielle]

See, I thought he wasn't gonna sing it because in the beginning he said something like, you know, people like to sue.

[Evelyn]

Right?

[Danielle]

I would sing it. But people like to sue or whatever.

[Evelyn]

American culture sing that though.

[Cherelle]

That's the American culture.

[Evelyn]

Again, sure he was gonna sing that song.

[Danielle]

Do y'all feel like it was intentionally, like, to basically let Drake, like, with Drake. Do y'all feel like after this super bowl performance, his music career went down the drain?

[Cherelle]

Absolutely not. This is what we need to see for the culture. This is what we need to see for music and entertainment. And what better way to really capture this on live TV and where now we're talking about it the next day.

[Danielle]

You don't think it was, like, a big embarrassment for Drake?

[Cherelle]

Absolutely not. This is a form of art now. I can't wait to hear what Drake is gonna come back with. Drake has so many levels too. Being an actor, being, you know, he can sing, he can touch the ladies, he can be champagne poppy, but he can get in his bag too. And I can't wait to see because the whole point is he's been on the top. Drake has been the number one, you know, really the. Not the enemy. I don't want to say the enemy, but the goal. Hence why he's bringing on people as features and elevating them and giving them a different vibe. We're playing Drake on yachts, we're playing Drake in. In clubs, in Europe, in Greece, things like that, you know, So I see it happening. It's Drake. Like, he's amazing. So it's Drake.

[Danielle]

But how do you feel when everyone. All the top dogs basically are against you now?

[Cherelle]

Like, I don't think it's an against thing. I just think it's really, like, it's still competition at the end of the day, and they always gonna come after the top. And right now it's Kendrick. So that means everyone has to get their pins together, their thoughts together, their. Their. Their words and their animation together, so that way they can come to. To the top spot. That's what rap gaming is about, especially with the men. They like to go back and forth and have that banter and me versus you. Whereas the ladies, for example, they can go and sell out and, like, come together and battle and do their thing, but, like, have a nurturing spirit. So, like, I just see it more as a sport.

[Danielle]

I feel like Drake could have. It could have reversed a little bit. I know Bootsy came out and said, nobody stood up for Drake, whatever, but I feel like that's false because DJ Khaled came out and said, hey, I got two songs that's coming out with Drake or whatever. And Drake came back and responded. He came back and responded and was like, you must be talking about Drake Bell. Like, that's a slap in the face. Cause dj, dj, everybody know DJ Khaled is that boy. And for you to go back and reply and make a statement like that, like, damn. Like, he basically there for you.

[Cherelle]

He's.

[Danielle]

He's telling people, even though he's friends with you. Drake came back and said. He came back and come in, and he was like, you must be talking about Drake Bell.

[Cherelle]

I'm sure they have songs together.

[Evelyn]

I don't know. All I know is I thought the super bowl performance was black as fuck, and I loved it.

[Cherelle]

Black excellence.

[Evelyn]

Like, even if you didn't get, like, the deeper subliminal messages that he was obviously displaying, I just felt like it was amazing to see, you know, the. All the black dancers.

[Cherelle]

They were all black. Yes, yes.

[Evelyn]

They were all. How they did the flag, the red, white and blue. Yes.

[Cherelle]

Soldiers. Right?

[Evelyn]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Like, they're very patriotic.

[Evelyn]

All of it was just very much just. I don't know. It was raw. It was black.

[Cherelle]

Intentional.

[Evelyn]

Yeah.

[Cherelle]

Yes.

[Evelyn]

So I love that about it.

[Danielle]

It was a great. It was a good Super Bowl. It's just. It was just different from, like. I probably would have preferred Lil Wayne.

[Cherelle]

To be honest, just because it was in New Orleans.

[Danielle]

New Orleans. And I feel like Lil Wayne is more entertaining.

[Evelyn]

People probably are more. I don't know.

[Danielle]

His music is more relatable.

[Cherelle]

So you think he should be next?

[Danielle]

No, I think somebody else should be next.

[Evelyn]

Who you think should be next?

[Danielle]

Chris Brown.

[Cherelle]

Oh, it's definitely Chris Brown.

[Evelyn]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Chris Brown is like, top tier up there with Michael Jackson.

[Cherelle]

I agree. He can perform.

[Danielle]

His ass. He's a performer. He can sing. And I just feel like, you know, he deserves a chance.

[Cherelle]

I agree. He should be next.

[Danielle]

Yeah, that's.

[Cherelle]

That would be my pick, too, because it's just everything he can do flip.

[Evelyn]

This boy can dance.

[Danielle]

He got the energy, like the crowd gonna stay going from. From start to end.

[Cherelle]

And he's a generational talent. Like, we all appreciate him.

[Evelyn]

Decades.

[Cherelle]

Yeah, sure.

[Danielle]

And he won some Grammys, so that's a big thing.

[Cherelle]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

So.

[Cherelle]

Yeah, so it's. It's. It's his time. Yeah, it's definitely. He should be next. So we gonna put that out there for the universe as well as the committee. We want to see Chris Brown. Right, ladies?

[Danielle]

Chris Brown.

[Cherelle]

All right, Stevie. We want to see it.

[Danielle]

It's gonna be hard, but they need to bring Chris Brown next.

[Cherelle]

Yes.

[Danielle]

Who does? Who pick is it?

[Cherelle]

There's a committee. I believe it's Jay Z. I think it's part of that. Yeah, it's like a committee, and I feel like they haven't missed. I really do. Like, I appreciate it. Kendrick. It was great timing. Just off of.

[Evelyn]

Well, when they go to Atlanta, I'mma need Jeezy. I'm gonna need. I'm gonna need some real Atlanta artists in there. Okay.

[Cherelle]

Who else would y'all. Would y'all do, like Future. Would y'all do like.

[Danielle]

No.

[Cherelle]

Big Boy, take it back. Should we take it back?

[Evelyn]

Big Boy did it the last. Like. I don't know if it was in a. It wasn't.

[Cherelle]

It was big boy. Andre 3000 Andre.

[Danielle]

I thought Andre.

[Evelyn]

I think Big Boy did. I don't know if Andre was on there.

[Cherelle]

I can't recall, but because it was.

[Evelyn]

With Maroon 5, remember that year. Okay. So anyways, next.

[Danielle]

Next time it's Atlanta a couple years from now. I think it's in 2, 20, 28.

[Evelyn]

It's going to be there. And so we really need some real Atlanta artists to be in the building. Okay.

[Cherelle]

So we're going to put that to the community now.

[Evelyn]

Play too many great Atlanta artists for them not to bring somebody from it.

[Cherelle]

Would you mix new and old?

[Evelyn]

Yeah, sure.

[Cherelle]

Yeah.

[Evelyn]

I love. I love. But we gotta have an old.

[Danielle]

You gotta have the main artists.

[Cherelle]

I agree.

[Danielle]

To bring out all the. The rest of them.

[Cherelle]

I agree.

[Danielle]

Who would be that main one? I would like for Jeezy to be the main one. Jeezy needs to redo the symphony. Bring out the whole. That's a vibe.

[Evelyn]

I think it should be outcast or a Jeezy.

[Cherelle]

Yeah, I like that. I like that. I wouldn't mind Jeezy, man. The main. I think that would be dope because he brings a different vibe to the city. Yeah, I think that. I think that would be a good. A good look.

[Danielle]

But he have a mixture of the old street hood music and then the commercialized music. So it'll be a good blend.

[Cherelle]

I love that. Okay, well, we didn't. We didn't skip from next year. We didn't plan the whole.

[Danielle]

Actually, we're not playing the whole Atlanta. I'm not mad at this.

[Cherelle]

Yes, yes.

[Evelyn]

They need to put us on the committee.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Cherelle]

We'll get it done. That's what we do. So while we were at Nightcap, there was a big announcement. Anyone. Ladies want to let the announcement out?

[Danielle]

Well, it's already out. But shout out to Shannon Sharp and his brother both. This is the first time ever breaking history. Both brothers are in the hall of fame now.

[Cherelle]

Wow. So that was the first time that there are Brothers inducted into the hall of Fame.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Cherelle]

Really?

[Danielle]

Yes. History was made.

[Cherelle]

Wow. Congratulations to the Shark brothers and the Sharp family.

[Evelyn]

It was nice to be there to witness it and hear his words from both of them.

[Cherelle]

Yeah.

[Evelyn]

You know, it was emotional. It was emotional to hear how Shannon felt, you know, about having his brother there, you know, basically saying if it wasn't for his brother, he probably wouldn't be where he is.

[Danielle]

And he speak highly about him. Like, every time you hear him talk about his brother, it's like, yeah, it's amazing. Like, dang. I wish I had, like, a sibling that I could speak highly like that about, but that's. That was a blessing. So shout out to the Sharp brothers.

[Evelyn]

Both are.

[Cherelle]

Yes.

[Evelyn]

Congrats, family.

[Cherelle]

Everything. Yeah, absolutely. Congrats.

[Danielle]

What y'all think next? I know that's right. Speaking of saying, I think next, it probably would be the Manning brothers.

[Cherelle]

Okay. So they bring in Eli next.

[Danielle]

I don't know. I'm just.

[Cherelle]

I wonder if the dad is too. Is Archie in the hall of Fame? So the fact that it'd be a father son.

[Danielle]

The father son probably will be Dion and his son.

[Cherelle]

Yeah. Huh? Shador.

[Danielle]

Shador.

[Cherelle]

Shador. Okay, well, we shall see if you continue. So Bourbon street was popping. They did close off the street so the fans can roam the streets and really take in that essence of the French culture. The Mardi Gras beads, the slushies on the street.

[Danielle]

I have all the flashes.

[Cherelle]

I mean, just to just go around and see, you know, what I want to say this shout out to the city of New Orleans. You guys did a great job of hosting this year and accommodating everybody and making everything centrally located. Right.

[Danielle]

When you guys, police officers were there, there was the. On security.

[Evelyn]

There was police on, like, every corner, every block.

[Cherelle]

I felt so safe, Very safe. And.

[Danielle]

And they were very helpful, too. A few times we were lost, and we. We would ask, like, the national, and they would be like, come on, you know, we'll show you where to go. They walked us down through certain restaurants, so shout out to the National Guard for holding it down.

[Cherelle]

And just that Southern hospitality from these handsome brothers that were out there and just really seen some.

[Danielle]

You like?

[Cherelle]

Like, you know, I did and didn't. You know what I'm saying? But just overall, everybody was just very warm. We were walking to a store, and the ladies are turning up, having a good time.

[Danielle]

They had us dancing in their vibe. Us different slush taste. Taste of the slush.

[Cherelle]

Yes.

[Danielle]

It was a good little vibe.

[Cherelle]

Very accommodating. To us.

[Danielle]

It made me feel like I was back at home because I'm like, this is how, like, the Southern hospitality. This is how it is back at home. Everybody's speaking to everybody. Ain't nobody thinking that you st y. It's like. It's like family.

[Cherelle]

Yes. I just feel like they. New Orleans did a great job, and the weather was very fair to us. It was warmer than we thought.

[Evelyn]

Yep.

[Cherelle]

You wake up and you see this fog that just kind of is part of New Orleans and these. These weeping willow trees hanging over, and just the architecture was insane. The jazz culture, just the vibrancy, you.

[Evelyn]

Know, it was fun.

[Danielle]

It was good.

[Evelyn]

It was a good city. A good super bowl, for sure.

[Cherelle]

It was. It was. So shout out again to the mayor as well as the state. Thank you for accommodating all of us.

[Danielle]

Thank you.

[Cherelle]

Yes.

[Evelyn]

Okay, guys, it's time for Hot Girl Headlines, My favorite part of the show. Okay, so during the Super Bowl, I don't know if y'all guys noticed, but Taylor Swift was shown on camera and they booed her.

[Danielle]

Yes, I seen it. And she was looking at.

[Evelyn]

Yeah, Iceface was looking like. They booing you, girl.

[Cherelle]

Not. Not me. Yeah. But it's funny because I'm sure she just brushed that on off. I mean, it's Taylor Swift.

[Danielle]

Like, have she ever been booed? That's. That's. That probably was her first thing ever.

[Cherelle]

No, I mean, Philly is known for, like, to be lil rah rah rah.

[Danielle]

Why would they.

[Cherelle]

Because they big haters.

[Danielle]

Because. Because it was predominantly Eagle fans in the.

[Evelyn]

In the stand, so she just getting that.

[Cherelle]

Well, that treatment. You're getting the rowdiest.

[Danielle]

She's down from Kansas City. So the Eagles, like, uh, you getting the rowdiest fans.

[Cherelle]

The Eagles are known to be rowdy. In your face and very boisterous. Okay.

[Evelyn]

Okay.

[Cherelle]

And then you have. Kansas City is known to be the loudest stadium and the loudest fans in the NFL. So the mixture of both of them is a. Is a combination that the NFL just, like, appreciates.

[Danielle]

Like, it was.

[Evelyn]

I heard that he was supposed to propose to her, too.

[Cherelle]

I mean, we don't know.

[Evelyn]

Yeah. They were saying, well, they could have.

[Cherelle]

Married for all week.

[Evelyn]

Fans maybe wanted him to propose.

[Cherelle]

I wouldn't.

[Evelyn]

Wishful thinking. I don't know.

[Danielle]

I don't think that's happening.

[Cherelle]

I would. I wouldn't do it there.

[Evelyn]

That's for sure. He got. And then they said he got his hair implants done. I saw a meme that he should. They Saying he should have been rehearsing and practicing instead of getting his hair line fixed. Now he has a whole full head of hair. Did y'all see that?

[Cherelle]

I did see that.

[Evelyn]

But yeah, he need to do a little Pantene commercial or something now.

[Cherelle]

Big, big haters. Just because Taylor has definitely brought a influx of fans. I saw many little girls in a Kelsey jersey with their little skirts, all their beads, and so know how they're.

[Evelyn]

Doing too, because they tell her in commercials and stu stuff, you know, they should have put her on camera.

[Danielle]

I forgot the statistics. But last year when she started coming to the games, it showed like a big jumps in in the jersey purchase. Yeah, yeah.

[Cherelle]

So, okay, shout out to Taylor.

[Evelyn]

So also in attendance, Jay Z was there with Blue Ivy and Roomy.

[Danielle]

So cute.

[Cherelle]

So they are so cute.

[Evelyn]

Yeah, Daddy daycare, he does that. He's. He's known to bring them to.

[Danielle]

And Blue, obviously his twin. Oh, my goodness.

[Evelyn]

He's getting so big.

[Cherelle]

She's so beautiful. She's so beautiful. Nice young lady.

[Evelyn]

Beyonce was not there because we know she's probably, you know, rehearsing for the Cowboy Carter tour.

[Danielle]

We're going.

[Evelyn]

We're going to be there. Be there.

[Danielle]

Listen, but clx, where we going?

[Evelyn]

[Danielle]

Oui, oui.

[Cherelle]

Let's go.

[Evelyn]

Not wait for that. And so also we had Dochi and Lady Gaga were seen taking pictures in their suite for the super bowl. And Dochi just won a Grammy for best rap album, and she is literally the third female to win this award behind Lauryn Hill and Cardi B.

[Cherelle]

So this shout out to each other and she's a table Tampa native.

[Evelyn]

She's a Tampa native. She gave a big shout out during her speech to Tampa.

[Danielle]

We need to play the next one. Y'all avoiding that question.

[Evelyn]

No, I'm down to play.

[Cherelle]

Come on now. You already know I'm athletic every day.

[Evelyn]

I got two plays in my house.

[Danielle]

[Cherelle]

Every day, our world gets a little.

[Danielle]

More connected but a little further apart. Part.

[Cherelle]

But then there are moments that remind us to be more human. Thank you for calling Amica Insurance.

[Evelyn]

Hey, I was just in an accident.

[Danielle]

Don't worry.

[Cherelle]

We'll get you taken care of.

[Gabriel]

At Amica, we understand that looking out for each other isn't new or groundbreaking.

[Danielle]

It's human.

[Cherelle]

Amica, empathy is our best policy.

[Danielle]

All right, you guys, you know what time it is?

[Cherelle]

Oh, what time is it?

[Danielle]

It's time for rails.

[Evelyn]

Red flag. Red flag. We need to get you some green flags.

[Danielle]

Well. Well, we going to determine if it's a red flag or a green flag. Okay, so I'm. I'm going to give you guys some scenarios, and y'all tell me.

[Cherelle]

Perfect.

[Danielle]

Red flag or green flag or hall ads. Okay, the first one. He never plans a date, but always wants to chill at your plate face.

[Cherelle]

It's already giving.

[Evelyn]

Is that it?

[Cherelle]

I'm listening. I'm trying to look.

[Evelyn]

Is that it? Yeah, red flag.

[Cherelle]

Okay. I mean, unless he's watching wax and Riches on Netflix, then maybe we. We got something else to talk about. No red flag. We gotta be outside.

[Evelyn]

He's at your place. First of all, he don't got no house.

[Danielle]

Oh, it's giving his mama in the basement.

[Cherelle]

Exactly.

[Evelyn]

That's what it sound like. It's giving. You don't got no house. No thank you.

[Cherelle]

And it takes prep, you know, to be at your own space, clean up, get ready for that, get the move. Right. Yeah. No.

[Danielle]

Yeah, that's.

[Cherelle]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

No, he trying to come over there, eat, sleep, and. Yeah, red flag. No, that's a whole ass. The next one, you've been dating for months, but he hasn't introduced you to any of his friends or family.

[Evelyn]

Yellow flag. That's one adoption you can make it.

[Danielle]

Because I made hall ass.

[Evelyn]

Yeah, yellow flag. I mean, I feel like it depends because some people, if he lets, you know, like, his intentions in the beginning, maybe he. He's. He told you he's moving slow, he's not learning. Serious.

[Cherelle]

Yeah.

[Evelyn]

Everybody don't need to meet your family.

[Danielle]

Exactly. That's true.

[Evelyn]

Exactly.

[Cherelle]

So I agree with that.

[Evelyn]

I don't think that's a, you know, a bad thing, but it just depends. Make sure what y'all.

[Danielle]

In the beginning, if he told you, like, you know, this is how I'm moving, then I'll play green flag. But if it's like, you haven't disclosed anything, then you. What you got over there? What you got going on over there?

[Cherelle]

I definitely would say red flag instead of hall ass. And I like your yellow. So we. Maybe we're gonna implement that, but I would say red fl. Just because I wouldn't want my children to meet someone, for example. So, like, I would include that as family. So it takes time to really understand about trust and also about just really who you letting in your space. So I wouldn't be a hall ass yet. I feel like it does take a lot more investment in the relationship before you introduce in the family that def.

[Danielle]

That's true.

[Cherelle]

Yeah, that's true.

[Danielle]

He's great in person.

[Cherelle]

Okay.

[Danielle]

But he's dry and he's a dish and he's very distant over text.

[Evelyn]

I don't see a problem with that. I mean, I feel like if he's good in person, that's good enough. I mean, a text to me, because some people are the opposite. They're better in text, but in person they dry. And that sucks.

[Danielle]

I would say green flag too, because I like in person person.

[Evelyn]

Exactly.

[Danielle]

Same here.

[Cherelle]

I prefer. I prefer in person. I feel like we're old school. We like the. We like to chase, we like like intention. We like time being spent. And yeah, so yeah, I rather that over tech. I like to check in. In tech, you know, if it's quick because we can't always just be on the phone or always in person. But I don't want to. I don't want that to be the form of communication.

[Danielle]

True.

[Cherelle]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Okay. Your friend always disappears when you're going through tough times, but expects you to be there for her.

[Evelyn]

Been there.

[Cherelle]

I feel like I'm that friend that is always pouring into everybody. But then when it's time for me to be poured into, it's like a ghost town, really. I do.

[Evelyn]

Yeah.

[Cherelle]

Just because I think I try to handle things on my own too, you know? So I think it's partly on me, you know what I mean?

[Evelyn]

Yeah.

[Cherelle]

But I've definitely poured into a lot of people. You know what I mean?

[Danielle]

I. I feel like pour into friends, but not enough because I'm so busy. So I wouldn't call it a red flag because I know, like, I have so much going on, but if my friend, like really, really, really, really. And they like, Shirelle, I need you, but they hate asking me for my help or because they know how busy I am. But like, I wouldn't consider it a red flag, but I know those are things that I had to sit back and look at because I do have friends that express like, hey, Cherelle, like, I really need you. And it could. It. It has caused some friendships and we were on the. The thin line of. I was on the thin line of losing friendship. So it's just I had to pull back and be like, you know, you got to take time out, put your. Your busyness away, and take time out for your friends. So I've been a victim of, you know, not being there when my friends were going through things. But it wasn't intentional.

[Evelyn]

Understand, I think with friendships, everybody is going to feel that at some point, like, everybody's going to feel like somebody could have been there for you more or you could have been there for somebody more.

[Cherelle]

I agree.

[Evelyn]

You know, because life be life in. And we all be going through stuff, and I have just learned to just. You got to meet people where they're at, and, you know, I don't hold it against people anymore. I feel like when you expect a lot or expect something from somebody, it just sets yourself up for disappointment. So I take what I can from my friends and, you know, I might can get something from you that I can't get from you. And I might get something from you that I can't get from you. So I just try to, you know, fill my cup with everybody that God puts in my life, you know what I mean? And get what I can from who I need. And a lot of times, if I still feel like I'm lacking, then I feel like I should just, like, pray about it, go to the Lord, because I'm probably looking in the wrong spots anyway for things that I need. So I wouldn't say, like, it's a red flag. Like, you know, everybody feels that way, and I think that that's normal and that's human.

[Danielle]

And I think that's my biggest thing because I ran into situations, like, after things have happened and we talked about things. I need to learn how to be more soft. My biggest thing is my friends are, I wouldn't say afraid, but they don't like to come to me because I show too much tough love. And I'm trying to work on and, like, just softening myself and just being more soft. And I agree. And come off more. I'm working on it, Lex. You are, though, being around you ladies, you are. It's hard, like, but I can't see. And I do hear my friends out and I hear when y'all say, like, you know, your deliverance is too strong. So that's what I'm working on as a friend, as a mom, as a. A future wife.

[Cherelle]

We're all working partners. We're. We're all that. That's very humble baddie of you, Cherelle. Thank you.

[Danielle]

I'm not a mean girl.

[Cherelle]

No.

[Danielle]

But see, on some real stuff, that. That is something that I'm truly working on as a person.

[Cherelle]

I agree.

[Danielle]

All right, you guys, that is enough of real red flags. If you all have any red flag scenarios questions, reach out to us us on social media or visit our website. You can always reach out to us by going to www.humblebaddies.com.

[Cherelle]

Thank you R for your red flag scenarios. What y'all think?

[Evelyn]

Those were good.

[Danielle]

Good.

[Cherelle]

Nice and juicy. Right now it's time for Humble Baddies.

[Evelyn]

Mail who we got?

[Cherelle]

We have Michelle from Salt Lake City, Utah.

[Danielle]

Hey, Michelle. I was just there.

[Cherelle]

Hey, humble Baddies. I love the podcast and plan to watch the Netflix show soon. I need some advice. My fiance and I are disagreeing about finances. We're planning to buy a house, but I have no idea where his money goes, so I just suggested we share a bank account. He got really defensive. Do you think couples should share finances, have access to each other's accounts, or keep everything separate? It would love to hear your thoughts, ladies. What are your thoughts on this? Let's help Ms. Michelle out.

[Evelyn]

Hey, Michelle girl.

[Danielle]

Hey, Michelle.

[Evelyn]

Boo. Did you say that this was her boyfriend? Fiance.

[Cherelle]

She said fiance. Yeah.

[Evelyn]

Well, I feel like for this to be your fiance, you guys should have kind of already been aligned and with what your plans were as far as buying a house and your finances. So since you don't know, you need to get on that asap. Y'all both need to sit down and have a conversation and, you know, really make sure that you know what you guys have planned for your financials. It's just a little scary that y'all are already, like, engaged and you don't know that because finances are a big part of a relationship and can really, like, you know, make, break. Make or break. Yeah, exactly. Your situation. So I would say before y'all even get to talking about a house, y'all need to have a conversation about how you guys go about handling your financial situation. Like, are you guys going to share a bank account? Why is he so, you know, why did he get upset about even wanting to discuss it and, you know, sharing your accounts? You know, what is that all about? So I think there are some things that y'all need to tackle before y'all even start talking about buying a house together.

[Danielle]

I. I feel like. And I agree with you, Ashley definitely discussed finances is a big topic, and it can make or break a relationship. Um, it's hard to answer that question in. In your scenario, because is it. Is he given a problem where he can't put money down? Like, are those. That was not discussed? So if he's not responsible with his money, then yes, that's when you should be questioning where his money goes. But if he's responsible for his money, that at the end of the day, that's his money. Some people don't like sharing bank accounts. Some people just, okay, this is my responsibility. This is what I'm gonna take care of. This is your responsibility. This is what you're going to take care of. But if it comes to a point where he feels, where you feel like, where y'all, he's not meeting his end of the, the, the bargain or whatever, then yeah, then I would question it and, and go in like, what, what the hell is going on? But with my situation when I was, you know, when Chad and I was together, hell, I still got access to, to his accounts or whatever because I still help. He's busy, I help him pay accounts.

[Evelyn]

But.

[Cherelle]

And it's a trusting too, right?

[Danielle]

Yes, but I think it's something like Ashley said. You guys, this is something in the beginning of your relationship that y'all should discuss. Discuss.

I feel transparency is key. I mean the number one reason for divorce is finances still to this day, and it has been for years. And you're bringing in two different incomes, you're merging two lives. You have to agree or disagree, but you have to agree on some sort of transparency, whatever that could be and come to a conclusion of this is what we need to do. Maybe it's a joint account and you still have separate accounts, but maybe for that a household account or just something like that. I just feel like you have to be honest and open about both of you guys situations. Because when it is time to buy a home, y'all know this. It is the biggest purchase of your life. The most expensive. Right.

[Danielle]

Biggest purchase.

[Cherelle]

So it's like this is a, that's a commitment. Sometimes it's a 30 year commitment.

[Danielle]

And you never know what can happen with.

[Cherelle]

You never know. So it definitely needs to be transparency on all those lines.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Evelyn]

How do y'all feel about buying a house with somebody that's not your spouse house?

[Danielle]

I never did it.

[Evelyn]

But would you.

[Cherelle]

Wow.

[Danielle]

If I see. Well, it's hard for me because I'm gonna take advantage of that VA loan every time.

[Cherelle]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

So you with. For me, you would have. I would have to be married to that person.

[Cherelle]

Okay.

[Danielle]

Unless it's investment properties that we're going after. I'm big on, you know, going business deals.

[Evelyn]

But no, I'm talking about purchasing your home with somebody that's not your spouse.

[Danielle]

That'S kind of hard.

[Cherelle]

That's tough.

[Danielle]

That's a big purchase. Yeah.

[Cherelle]

But if you're. Yeah, that's a huge purchase. I would say. If you're like, say it's a second spot. Like, if I have my primary, I would be willing to do a secondary, not a primary.

[Danielle]

But it would. If I did that, we would have to get a lot of stuff in writing before.

[Cherelle]

Yeah, exactly. It has to be a contractual agreement.

[Danielle]

For sure, because they can up and leave anytime. And if you don't have nothing in place, it's like, you know, you're reliable just as much as they are.

[Cherelle]

Yeah, I agree for it.

[Danielle]

Just as much as they are.

[Cherelle]

So that's a great question.
