Yo, welcome to episode 258 of Crash Dummies podcast. This is obviously the podcast with Merrill that you guys will see in a little bit. Quick announcements, though. Get the Patreon Live shows. Toronto, we just added a second show. We told you all that was going to sell out. So the second show. Don't sleep on the second show.
B
Somebody emailed us about Toronto also. No, no, you can't, bro. You got to go to the other show.
A
Sorry. What happened?
B
He was like, oh, bro, I took off work for this day, and I don't. I can't get off work for the next day. Can you please let me.
A
I mean, just put it on Instagram or something and then see if somebody wants to, like, trade t or something.
B
It's rs, brother.
A
No, just see something. Detroit, get your tickets, we'll be there. I'm going to start promoing that a little bit harder, too, so appreciate y'.
C
All.
A
Detroit keep buying tickets. What else? Merch is shipped out. Y' all should. Someone. Most of y' all should have already. Maybe like five of y'.
D
All.
A
We're still waiting on something like, share,
B
subscribe, send us people that you want to see us collab with. Midwest, west coast, whatever. Also keep sharing our. I. I've been actually looking up our fake pages.
A
Yeah, they. Some of them is snapping.
B
No, some of them, they have, like, clips. I'd be like, damn, we could have used this clip. It went viral on our page. But some of them, it's just like, what the fuck are y' all clipping up?
A
There's a. There is a page on Facebook that we're gonna try to get taken down that is just posting, like, clips, but then just random AI things with this other girl. She actually DM'd us about it. And then just random AI stuff with, like, wild headlines and shit. So it's like, we gotta get them. So. But people, that page has, like 30 some thousand followers. It's like, bruh, there are people actually following those pages and see, like, an awkward post about, like, just. It could be anything. 30, 000 McDonald's go out of business or. Or catch fire. Like, bro, like, why are you still following that page?
B
The that messed me up is that I got five elderly family members that follow those pages. That's how I know they doing a good job. My Uncle Joe following y'.
D
All.
B
Good job, you ass.
A
Yeah, I'll post important on the page. And like, come on, bro, I'm talking about.
B
Hey, man, you tripping enough. I think you should stick to the po. That ain't me.
A
Different categories.
B
That ain't me.
A
He said, I like to see you posting all those like high production type of stuff. We need more homemade shit.
B
Who do you think is. Who do you think is becoming a household name, like, as far as in the NBA?
A
In the NBA?
B
Yeah.
A
Like, obviously I would say Klay Thompson right now.
B
I think Klay Thompson is becoming a household name because there was crazy.
A
There was this. The UK podcaster, there was like saying how she didn't know who Klay Thompson is and like, he's nobody. Like, Meg made him, which I think is false. But I think Klay Thompson is a super popular player, but he is also not a player that before probably the Meg situation was like in the. More like just a different type of audience. It's just a. More of. More of. I think when you gain and you're dating somebody, like two popular people, you're still going to get exposure no matter if both of you guys are super popular in both of y' all fields.
B
Yeah. I mean, it's like the Anthony Joshua thing.
A
Yeah.
B
I was actually surprised Anthony Joshua got more popular after the Netflix.
A
Yeah.
B
It was like, people, just because you have a million followers, you have 10 million followers, there's still that many more people that don't know about you.
A
Yeah. But like the way she phrased it, she was phrasing it like he was a nobody. When I was like, that was okay. That's little. You're going too far. Like, he's still a superstar NBA player.
B
Yeah. And it just depends on like, what are you talking about? Could Clay sell out in arena just by herself by hooping on stage? No, but he also like, is a very popular player and can get people to pull up to watch him play basketball at a random.
A
Yeah. If you want to like Rutgers or some shit.
B
Like. Yeah.
A
Or any pro Am, that gym would be full.
B
Yeah.
A
But I do get. I do get that he's probably more of a household name. And I think when people like I would describe household is like, if my mom is talking about it and you're like, if you had sisters, your sister is talking about somebody that wouldn't be watched the sport any. Any other way. Just how like my mom was mentioning something about Kai so net being in Nigeria. Right. Kai is a household name that my mom knew he was in Nigeria. She doesn't know anything else about him. And he's super popular. But he knew when she was in Nigeria. So yeah, I do think he's more of a household name because of all the stuff that's happening, I hate that. That's.
B
That's my biggest pet peeve, is when someone, like, knows me out in public and we chopping it up, and you're like, man, I listen to your podcast all the time. Like, yeah, bro, that's dope as hell. Chopping up. And then he turned to his friends like, y' all don't know who he is. And I gotta watch five people shake their head.
A
No.
B
Like, they don't know who I am, and they don't, and that's fine. But, like, why are five people nodding their fucking heads at me like, I'm ready to beat the shit out of one of these?
A
No, there's like, yeah, I hate when people do that. It's like, it's okay that nobody. We're not popular enough to be. We're not household names, bro.
B
We're not household names. I don't think we're even house phone names. And that's okay.
A
Yeah.
B
We still do very well, and we still have a great community and we still have fun. Like, we don't have to be known by everybody. Trust me. I do not need anybody coming to this podcast taking what I say out of context. You know what I'm saying?
D
You.
A
Anyway, we'll get to the Marrow episode. Appreciate y'.
E
All.
A
Peace. That's not what we're doing.
B
Hello.
A
Hey, the radio is for people who are driving. Welcome to Crash Dummies podcast.
B
Ain't gonna lie. Like, lately I've been on my unc, right? I've been trying to save the youth. And not just like 14 year olds, 15 year olds. I'm talking about them 20, 21, 22 year old dudes. I'm trying to let them know what I know. And, like, part of that process is finding out what situation they in and trying to relate it to something that you know. And I recently talked to someone who was 21. He had six kids with three baby mamas, and he was like, yo, big bro Pat, what's my next move? And I'm like, my nigga, you out of moves. That's it.
C
That's it, bro. It's locked. It's like, checkmate, bro. Like, it's over. Like, six kids or 21.
B
I feel like that's three baby moms. Like, that's the most important part of being part of being a mentor is
A
to, like, better call it like that, too.
B
Yeah. Not like not using your resources on lost calls. You got to get to the next person after that, right?
C
Yeah, I'm like, yo, listen, dog. Yo, listen. I got love for you. I appreciate you. You know, I appreciate that. You look to me for advice. Here's the advice. You're cooked. Okay? I gotta go over here and help him out. There's some. There's, there's, there's roi over here.
D
You know what?
C
I'm over here. We ain't doing nothing.
A
We just.
C
This is chapter 11 right here.
A
You gotta leave that in God's hands at that point.
B
No, he gotta file bankruptcy. You gotta be a deadbeat. Now, if you lead a family, we can restart.
A
That is true. You can't start a new life.
B
You can't.
A
But I feel like, how far do you think you have to move away from your family to start a new life?
C
County.
B
County.
C
Nah, it's county, dog. Listen, if you put it in Google Maps and it say 25 minutes, that's far enough.
A
You know what I'm saying? I feel like to start a real new life, you gotta leave the country.
B
No, no, no, no, no, no.
C
Real, real quarter. Take a gas away.
B
Real new, like, new life. You just gotta get far away so that your new son would only meet your other son in like, the state championship, you know what I'm saying? They can't be meeting in no regional finals.
C
They gotta meet in states. If you there, the half jersey, like
A
the Kelsey's
B
O Science experiment. That's somebody with no dad. That's somebody with a dad. Same genes. Let's see.
A
Because you can blame the moms in that situation. Whoever's the least athletic.
B
Oh, yeah, yeah.
C
100.
A
Because I. I'm responsible for both of these people.
B
Yeah.
A
One of y' all up sometimes.
B
It's about the. It's about the trauma, though.
A
What do you mean?
B
You know what I'm saying? The one with no dad, he might have been hungry. Be on the streets in New York, yo. He been hooping with 20 year olds since he was 8 years old. And the other one, you know what I'm saying?
D
Upper.
B
Upper New York. You know what I'm saying? Aau.
D
Aau.
A
Okay.
B
You know what I'm saying?
C
You got a trainer.
A
Okay.
B
Another one been shot at before?
C
Yep.
B
At? Yeah.
C
Not a basketball.
B
Yeah, the stick, you know, the other one. The other one from the hood. Have a hard time expressing itself. The other one, that's rich. Having espresso martinis.
A
It's the difference.
B
It's different.
C
You know what I'm saying?
A
Welcome to Crash. That means episode. We don't even know what this is. Chocolate.
C
Drink in the World, by the way, do not give that to a white woman. It's like pouring water on a Gremlin.
A
We don't know what episode this is, but we got Meryl in the building with us. Your IG name is the Kid Meryl?
C
Yeah.
A
Do you still go by the Kid?
C
So you know what? It was, like, a long time ago, I explained this to.
A
To.
C
I think it was Ari Melberg, which is, you know, same. Same vibe. You know what I'm saying, Matt Informational. It was the. Like, I grew up on a. On a G Unit mixtape, okay? So, like, 50 Cent is a future.
B
Power of dollar.
C
All that type of. And Lloyd Banks, to me was like, out of the three. I was like, yo, Banks.
A
Banks was my favorite as well. Yeah.
C
I'm like, yo, this got bought. I ain't a wrestler, but I put your in the Boston Crab. You know what I'm saying? I was like, whoa. I was like, yo, that's a bar. I was like, I know what the Boston crap is. I did it in Warzone and played the PlayStation 1. So that. Because every time he would come on and whole kid would hype up crazy. Like, he'd be like, the Kid Lloyd Banks. And I'm like, oh, that's fire. But at the time, I was already writing Meryl. Like, Meryl's not like a stage name or nothing like that. It's graffiti. Like, yeah, and graffiti since, like, 97, 98, okay. And, like, since I was, like, 12. You know what I mean? Like, I started, like, 11. I was writing J Dog. And then like, all the. Like, the older graffiti was like, man, that is corny.
E
As.
C
Which helped.
A
How'd you spell do Dawd?
B
Yeah, that's tough.
C
I was like, yeah, now this ain't it, man. I'm like, I feel like a random character. Like a random villain in gta. And then I was just like, oh. I was like, Mero. Because my pops wanted to name me Romero. And my mom's like, no. You know what I'm saying? Do you have the uterus? Did you care this? No, you did not. And I got a PC out of me, so I'm naming this. And she named me Joel.
A
Okay?
E
And.
C
But all my, you know, my pops is, you know, Dominican. You know, I mean, like, Afro Latino. You know what I'm saying? He was just like, nah, that.
A
Like, sorry about y' all lost, by the way, in baseball.
C
Listen, we, we, we. We. We actually won. You know what I'm saying? But that's not.
A
Hey, that is true, you know, A little controversy.
C
Very clear, you know what I'm saying? Somebody went viral for having a tattoo of that pitch. And like, in Spanish, that wasn't a strike on the arm. I was like, God damn, bro. That's dedication. I just watch the on YouTube. See, I told y', all, man. Cool. Like, do the abs. Do this challenge.
B
That's the toughest, though. I ain't know. People I went to recently went to Fenway park to watch Red Sox versus Tigers. Tigers beat that ass. No, Red Sox, one.
C
I'm saying
B
shout out to Detroit, though. But I was watching and, like, they did the replay and, like, the strike was 2 inches off or 2 centimeters off, and they actually put it on the screen how close it was. And then people will see the evidence. They'd be like, these cheating.
C
That's a 75 year old, man. It's 98 degrees out here.
B
Yeah.
C
You know, I mean, this motherfucker ain't drank water since the first inning. And you wanted to be like, strike. Perfect. Like, you know, it's like I said, yo, my grandpa is dead. But like, when he was alive, like, that couldn't stand in anywhere for more than 30 minutes straight. I'm like, you. These stand out there for six hours.
B
Like, yeah, that's what I would be saying. I'd be calling strikes. Especially when I'm trying to get home, man.
C
I'm like, yeah, get out of here.
B
Arguing with your baby mama and strike.
C
Mama. Dude's gonna be here in six minutes with Uber. All right, yo, I'm out of here. Blow
A
our list. So we. So we kind of got in a little. Well, I guess it was me. They're getting on my ass for saying that. I. I don't know if Paul started in New York.
C
Pause.
A
Yeah.
C
Oh, it was definitely like a. Like a. Like a Harlem thing.
A
Okay.
C
Like, they were like that because.
D
I know.
C
Because I was like, I'm from the Bronx. And I was just like, what do you mean, pause?
A
What is that?
C
It was all the Harlem guys doing it, and then it just like, took over the whole city. Like, it was like, yo. And then. And then obviously the AO followed and.
A
Yeah.
B
Whoa.
C
Like, that type of like, that's crazy.
B
Like, I feel like. So, like, pause is obviously overused now, right? Oh, yeah. People find in different ways, you know, I'm one of the.
C
Yeah.
A
I'm about to say your main culprit.
C
Yeah. You can be like, yo, this sandwich is mad big. I'm like, yo, pause, pause, pause. Double meat, yo.
D
Whoa.
C
Pause the whole thing too, by Yourself. That's crazy.
A
With so many hot dogs, everybody's, like, afraid to eat hot dogs here.
C
That is crazy, because I'm a. I'm an unabashed glizzy enjoyer. You know what I'm saying? Like, but I'll be in my crib, bro.
A
That's true. I don't see people eating glizzies in public anymore like, they used to.
C
New York City now.
A
Yeah.
C
Just hang around a hot dog cart. You gonna see, like, a white guy, like, this random tourist guy. Like, I see this a real New York hot. Let me get some sour crown onions on that. Let's go.
A
I've seen niggas put that in their pocket after they get it and to
C
go now that's crazy. Then start jogging and, hey, I see it's coming out your ass.
B
No, I definitely think pause started here because I also think, like that slick talk talk. It started here also. So it had. Pause actually came as a savior at first. Now pause is overused because before pause had to stop the dudes and be like, man, shut the fuck up, before I both y' all in the ass. And they're just like, bro, somebody gotta stop this shit. Like, what is the double entend?
C
There is no. He's just dead ass. He just came home from doing 15.
B
Yeah, you got the crop top on. It's like, something has to happen here. We gotta start at least. You know what I'm saying? I'm sitting pause. You can unpause it, but that just lets me know.
C
Okay.
A
This dude is serious.
B
You know what I mean?
C
And that's the thing. Like, if this. If there's no visible joke, I'm like.
A
Like, where are we going with this?
C
Yeah, sounds like a random. Like a DMX single.
B
Okay, so what we're gonna do, we gonna do a game called Toxic Translator.
C
Oh, let's go.
B
So we're gonna take simple things and translate them into, like, what they really mean, bro.
C
Listen, I'm ready for this. I've been married for 137 years, bro. Oh, okay. Okay.
B
When a woman or man says, I just need space.
D
Mm.
A
Yo, I was. I would say they trying to soft launch a breakup.
B
I just need space.
A
Oh, yes, yes.
B
Okay.
C
It's that if you're dating, if you're married, it's, yo, get the fuck away from me. Yo, get the fuck away from me. You're mad, you're beat. You are wild annoying right now. You annoying the shit out of me. Get the fuck out of here before something bad happens. I'M not saying I move up your ass. Cause I don't do that. I was raised right, shout to my pops. But I might around and just start smoking weed and place it out a
B
part of the house that I'm not
C
supposed to be smoking weed. Just see me in the laundry room with a blunt like something's wrong.
B
Smoking into the dryer.
D
Yeah.
C
Closing it, putting it on delicate now all your panties smell like weed.
A
Don't put my pants so delicate.
B
I would say I just need space. It's like I just need to turn off my location so I can go fuck on something.
C
That's what it means to me.
A
That's just crazy.
B
If a woman came up to me and said, I just need space, I'm just like, bruh, then take it then. But I guarantee you I won't be here after.
C
You can go get your space. And I will also go get my space.
B
Go get my space. A new space.
A
Start that new family.
B
Yes. Just see a girl be like, I need space. And just see somebody open a portal. Okay, I'm out of here.
C
We should go. Mars, Venus. Yeah, there you go.
A
Dodge Cheat in the future, then. Like futuristic, let's say, like a 2,000 years later. It's gonna be kind of crazy if there's portals and it's like, you really can start a new family.
D
Yeah.
A
And it'd be so easy. I can get to Spain in two seconds. Second family, bro.
C
You around? And Queen Isabella, like 1805.
B
No, we were just talking about, like, how New York is crazy. I like, honestly believe, like, if a woman or man wanted to five legit boyfriends or girlfriends or whatever they have, they could walk and not even look over their damn shoulder. They could just be walking out here every day on different boroughs, different sides of New York. Yeah, that's crazy to me. Like, I. I haven't seen one face twice since I've been here.
C
Nobody cares, bro. Nobody cares. That's the thing. Even if you. Even if people know who you are, like, if you're like a celebrity or whatever, like, people, they don't give a. Like, y' all are popping. Like, y' all will walk down the street. I guarantee you at least 20 notice y'. All. Yeah, but they didn't say because they're from New York and they too cool, you know? I mean, they might have been like. But they won't be like, yo, yo, I'll with y' all because. Yeah, from Detroit.
A
Yeah, well, he's from Michigan.
B
He from Chicago.
A
I'm from Nigeria.
B
Are you Good. I got it. You got it?
C
Yeah, yeah. No, but that's what I'm saying. Like, if you're not from New York, if you're not, like, a New York celebrity or whatever, like Fat Joe, people might be like, yo, Fat Joe, what up? Let me get a picture. Or like, a random, like. Like me.
A
You know what I'm saying?
C
Like, a random, like, you know, lower tier. You know what I'm saying, dude? Like, yo, hey, I can say what's up to this dude. You know what I'm saying?
A
Like, so they said this. We had this conversation at our show. One of the people in the audience said, if you didn't go to elementary school here, you can't claim. Yeah, you from New York.
C
I say that all the time. It's K through 12.
A
You know what I'm saying? But what if I'm here from 15 to 40?
C
That's. Then you got a case.
B
What about the people that, like, okay, 21 and now they 51.
C
That's. You know what it is? To me, the. Your formative years is like, you know, elementary school through, like, freshman year, college.
B
You know what I mean?
C
So if those are the years that you in New York City, public school, bro, you a New Yorker for real. Because you eating them like that milk that's about to expire in 20 minutes, you know? I mean, you cutting ass in the parking lot all day, like, it's just gladiator school, bro. But, like, for comedy, for everything, you know I'm saying? For not getting roasted, like, your fit gotta be right, all that shit, you know? I mean, so to me, it's like K through 12. You solidified New Yorker. You could do K through 12 and then leave right after that, bro, and go move to Hawaii and then come back and, bro, your tims will be waiting for you when you get, like,
B
fresh off the plane. Okay. Second one is, I'm gonna say you from Detroit.
C
That's why I'm so bad. That's what New York is a piece of. Because it's like, Detroit, Chicago. That's it.
A
And, like, it's pretty close, though.
B
Midwest, yeah.
C
That's like the whole Midwest.
A
Pontiac. And I was. I grew up in Chicago.
C
So to me, the whole Midwest is like, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee.
A
We. That's where we live. Milwaukee.
C
It's all.
B
It's all one area.
A
No, what's another one?
B
The one is he or. She's just a friend.
C
Oh, no, they smashing, bro. Yeah, that's. That Those cheeks are getting clapped.
D
Does it.
B
You know, like a Lot of people. I feel like a lot of people get gaslit into, like, the. The whole friendship thing.
C
Yeah.
B
It just be like, a lot of people got to be real. Like, you can't go based off, like, the woman's beauty or the attraction with the rules that. Or boundaries you have for yourself. It's like, bruh, I don't think you should be on a solo date with this person. It's just like, it is what it is. Like, if that's your friendship, man, I hope it lasts forever, because I'm out.
C
I'm out of here. Yeah. I mean, out. Like, you know, I've been out of the game for a long time and. But, like, I think depending on what kind of relationship you got with your shorty, like, you know, that that's, like, the variable. You know what I'm saying? Because for me, I'm like, my girl could go out with whoever, and I'm just like, man, go ahead. You know what I'm saying? Like, I like, I know what you about. You know what I mean? Like, you're not about to do no crazy anyway, so go ahead, bro. Like, go get drink. Go do whatever. Go hang out, man, with your. With your homeboy and his cousin and whatever might be getting traced. Who knows? But, like, in my mind, I'm like, yo, I'm not. You feel me? Because the way I move, you know what I'm saying?
D
I'm not.
C
I'm not moving like that. So, you know, I just assume.
A
Yeah.
B
Plus, plus, it's good not to live life like that.
A
Yeah, I'd rather be proven wrong.
B
That's why I said. Yeah. I like to set boundaries, and then I like to, like, forget about it. I'm just like, I gotta go live life because I feel like them dudes, I'd be like, every day, you. You wait till your girl go to sleep. You going through her phone. You going through her ice. That's crazy. You doing that every day. You wondering what she's doing at work. It's like, Howard, like, how you getting money then
C
if you doing that and you don't sell cocaine?
B
Like, what are you doing?
C
That, like, mentality is for. Trust me. You know what I'm saying? Like, that paranoia, that's for that. Got Grams on deck at all times. Yeah, yo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where you at? 72nd. Amsterdam. I. Yo, 72nd a.m. yo, go ahead. Here's a cigarette.
B
All right, last one. The last one is when someone says, I feel like you're not happy.
C
Oh, that to me is. That's the. So that's the breakup software. I've been married for so long.
A
Yeah.
C
That I've. I've. I've almost broken up with my shorty.
B
Like. Yeah.
C
Various times. You know what I'm saying? And that's. That's the one. That's the one where they like, yo, I feel like you're not happy. They try to put it on you.
A
Yeah.
C
To be like, yo.
A
And that's like the start, too, because that's like, I'm gonna put this in the atmosphere right now. Because later on, this isn't done yet. Like, we gonna get back to this. Two months now. I still don't feel like you're happy.
C
This is prologue.
A
This. I still don't feel like you're happy. It's like a six month process, too. Like, I'm sure they try to break up with you in six months, but I don't want it to be abrupt.
C
Yep.
B
No, the worst is somebody saying that. And you was like, it's you. You know what I'm saying?
C
You.
B
Yeah, you. You feel like I'm not happy cause of you.
C
You. What the. Listen, I was here. I was watching the Knicks playoff game, and you came in the door with your homegirl talking about, I need the TV to watch Grey's Anatomy. You.
A
That's.
C
I'm not happy. I'm watching the game on an illegal stream in my office, on my computer now. Smoking weed by myself in the laundroma.
A
Thank you, Washington Knicks.
B
You know what I mean?
C
Like, type of.
B
Yo, turn that on. Delicates, bro.
C
I'm like, putting her panties in a little bag. Like, what are we doing?
B

B
No, for real.
A
Oh, I got a question, though. Is it rude not to offer food when you're in front of. When you're eating in front of somebody?
C
I think if you got a lot of food, you know what I'm saying? But if you got like, one Dorito Loco taco and you just sitting there like, yo, yo, you want a playpip?
B
Like, it depends on where we at now in middle school, like, if we best friends.
C
Oh, that's different.

And you got a taco.
C
When you kids come on 100.
A
Yeah, come on. Your appetite should be a little smaller, too.

A
Tell him to put his hands out like that.

C
Seeing that being like, yeah, yo. Yeah. No, that's crazy.
A
That might be worse than the pause, too.
C

A
Not. Because when you pause like that, you put a lot of thoughts. It's like, oh.
C
And she's like, he's thinking about what he's about to say. So if it's nasty, that means he thought about it. It didn't just come out. It wasn't just a reaction. Calculated that like, yo, you.
A
You have a.
C
You heard of these GLP1. Is that something you Would like with that's bad one.

But. But it's still like, even if she leave you, it's motivational. Like, let's say she's like, I'm out. He talking to me. Rude. I'm about to go lose a bunch of weight post transformation, which most people do after divorce, and that's the reason they got a divorce. Anywho. But the other thing is just like, telling them, like, it's okay, and just like, yo, it's. It's okay. Like, but that's your new body. That's your new body.

That's your new body. It's crazy.

Right, right, right. So basically, my man, you know, I'm saying he's been. He's been with his girls since college. It's been like three years, and he's had a breakup. You know what I'm saying? So it's kind of fresh. It's like a couple months ago, and they kind of had a long distance going, so it was kind of tough for him. But she's actually in my city, and now, like, you know what I'm saying? I'm saying she's acting different on social media. All these thirst traps and stuff. And I'm a little thirsty, but, like, that's my man. So I don't wanna. I don't want to have that thought. I don't want to have that in my heart because that's my man's. But, like, I wouldn't do it, but I just think I'm a bad. I'm a bad person for thinking like that, if that makes sense.
B
That just tell me, like, I feel like dudes that think like that, like, you don't get women naturally, so you. You go to, like, women that are in proximity to you because it's like,
D
why are you hating? Why are you hating, though? Why's your first the heat after that?
B
Why is your first response to back door, you slimy ass?
D
That's like, I'm not doing that, though. I'm not doing that.
B
But you got that thought and then you ran and told other about it.
C
You got the urge, champ. That's the problem. You said it yourself.
D
It's the urge. But, like, I'm strong enough to fight the urge. You know what I'm saying?
B
No, you're not. You literally putting it off on I am, though.
A
I haven't.
D
I haven't backdoored him because that's my man.
B
You already backdoored him Because I'm telling
A
you, like, even the thought of it, bro.
B
The thought of it, because you wouldn't tell him you thinking this because he wouldn't with you.
A
You after.
B
It's just a thought of.
D
Absolutely, absolutely. I'm saying we all have thoughts like that.
A
No, no, we always like that.
D
No.
A
How long y' all been friends for?
D
We've been boys since college, so.
A
And when you say your man's like. Like, what's, like, the level? Like, you all go over each other's house. Y' all know each other's parents. Like, how close are y'? All?
D
Yeah, we was roommates for three years in college. Like, we pretty locked in, so. Yeah, like, that's really my man's for real now.
B
That's crazy. You, like, you don't feel like a slimy dude for even having that thought. Maybe you need some therapy or something.
D
I'm not a slimy dude because I want to do my mans like that, but I just had the thought of it. Come on, bro.
B
We're not.
D
We're not doing that.
B
You don't. You don't.
D
Bro, we're not doing that.
B
You don't.
D
That's the problem, bro, because I. I know what I'm on.
B
You thinking about it, bro, you ain't got it.
A
You gotta give him some. You got some old school advice.
C
Yeah, yo, you thinking about it, gang. That's.
A
That's.
C
That's. That's step number one. That's the gateway drug, you know what I'm saying? And if she's bad, eventually you're gonna hit like, a heart on one of them stories, and she might hit you with a heart back. And now you're having a conversation, and it ends with you saying something stupid, like what Adam Levine said in the DM to Shorty. You know what I'm saying? He was just like, oh, I want to see her.
D
I'm not. I'm not trying to let it get to that level, though. I'm not trying to let it get there, though.
C
What if she.
D
Come on now.
A
What are the steps you're taking to. To not let it get to the level?
C
Like, what did you move?
D
I'm just not. I'm not reacting. I'm not reacting to it. The thirst traps are out there. I'm seeing the post. But, you know, I don't gotta like it. I don't gotta. You know what I'm saying, it's like you. It's like you trying to hop in the dm.
B
It's like you, you know, get on.
D

A
So what if she dms you? What's your next move?
D
She DMS me. I can't even. I. Look, he just got blocked after that. That's my man's. And just to take the temptation away at the source, you know what I'm saying?

D
You're not gonna smoke the crack? You ain't go.
B
No, the thing about you. What I've been. I've been listening to you, and I zoned out a little bit, and I just, like, been listening to conversation is like, your first statement is pretty confident. You'd be like, I'm not gonna do that. And then it turns it. I can't do that. And just be like, I wouldn't do that. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. I gotta stay away from that. And then, like, it gets closer and closer until we check you. Then you get back constant like, I'm not gonna do that. So you can't tell me that you're not gonna fold. It sound like you already damn near folded. That's why you reaching out to us, bro.

E
Hello.
A
What it do? What it do? Welcome to Craft Podcast.
E
Thank you. This is exciting.
D
Yeah.
A
What's your situation?
E
Okay, so I'm, like, in love with this guy. Guy. And, like, we've been talking for a while, and he's my first ever non white guy I've ever dated.
D
Okay.
A
What is he.
E
And he's Mexican.
A
Okay.
E
And I'm, like, embarrassed because it's like I'm. He listens to this, which is the funniest part to this podcast together. And, yeah, he just, like, won't make me his girlfriend. And I'm trying. I need. I need advice, like, on how to get him.
A
He won't make you. Like, how long y' all Been talking six months.
B
Okay. Like, what's. What's transpired in those six months? Has it been, like, day one since y' all met? Day one? Y' all hung with each other every day since then, or was it kind of dicey at the beginning?
E
I'm. I. It's on and off. Like, I'm kind of finding out that I'm a little crazy when it comes to dating this guy because I'm, like, obsessed with him.
A
Okay, what counts as obsessed? Like, what are some things you've done that would give.
D
That.
E
It makes me like, I'm literally just. Like, I've shown up at his house one time that was. I've never done that unannounced. And, yeah, for. Because I'm like. I just was like, I feel like he's with someone. He wasn't. He was asleep. And so then.
B
But also, did you know this by, like, looking over him, or did you just know he was asleep? Like, how did you know you asleep?
E
He answered the door. He answered the door.
B
Thought you broke into his house and said, oh, he's sleep.
A
Did you go home after this?
D
That.
E
No, I stayed.
B
Oh, okay.
E
But he was like. He was like, okay. But he also, like, I won't even lie. Like, I'm pretty. I'm learning because I'm, like, from this relationship. I am very toxic, and, like, I end things every other week, but the reason I end things is because I don't trust him because I'm not his girlfriend, and all I want to do is just be his girlfriend, and then it would be fixed. I wouldn't be crazy.
A
Have you brought this up?
E
Oh, so many times.
A
And what was his response to that?
E
He's like, don't force it. I'm like, I'm fortunate. Like, I'm about to give you flowers now because I feel like I have to take over.
B
Stand up.
D
Stand.
B
I'm gonna need you to stand up right now.
A
Showing up to a crib, like, with no call, no text.
B
You don't. You don't.
A
It's kind of crazy.
B
Yeah, you're, like. You're, like, almost in, like, a begging stage. If you gotta, like, beg somebody.
E
Okay, okay.
B
But I'm just saying.
E
No, no, no, no, no.
B
If you. If somebody says. If you. If you bring up a relationship, even if I didn't want to ask the girl I was with to be my girlfriend yet, but I planned on it, I wouldn't shut her down completely. Like, he shut you down. I would leave it open.
E
He didn't shut me down.
B
You're forcing it.
A
You say, don't want to force it or don't force it.
E
No, he didn't shut me down. Like, I wasn't forcing it. He was like, just like, wait. Just wait until it's right.
B
No. That was his exact words. Wait until it's right.
E
He said no.
B
What were his exact words?
E
Maybe more like, you're doing too much.
C
There's hope.
B
Like, no, I think y' all gonna get together.
C
Definitely.
B
You got this.
E
No, no, no. He walks on his tippy toes and it. Like, I love that he does. Like, he's one of those people.
B
Got it. So you just love everything about him and you notice all the little things,
E
but he should be, like, appreciative of that, because I'm like, damn. Like, he's so cute. He walks on his tippy toes.
B
Okay, bigger question, because you sound like, I think your problem. The only thing that turns you off about him is that you can't trust him and you're not his girlfriend. So my question to you is. My question to you is, like, where is he spending every night? Like, is. Are you seeing him? Are you talking to him every day? Are you seeing him every day? Like, how often is it.
E
Yeah, like, he just moved out of his house, and he moved back in with his mom because his Lisa said it. But before that, we were with each other every single day.
B
I think we just talked. No, he high school basketball coach, but never mind.
E
No, Like, I don't know. And then I'm, like, obsessed with his culture, which is so white of me to say, but, like, he, like. Like, he's like. I think that's also a big thing, is that when he speaks Spanish, that's so attractive.
B
But you. You say something in Spanish.
E
Hola. Comoste?
B
Yeah, see you.
E
Me ambre es Gracie.
D
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
You want those tamales type of people?
E
No, I went to it. He brought me to a Mexican. He brought me to a Mexican, like, breakfast place, and I have never felt so. Everyone was looking at us because I'm the only white person in there.
B
You probably asked. He's probably asking for the green sauce.
E
Is that the non spicy one? I didn't learn how to do the cha cha. No, I dance with him.
B
Oh, man. Yeah, you're cooked. But. But you might not be, because it got to be something there if he's still around. So I can't judge from this far away.
E
Well, we love each. We do, like, love each other. Like, we say, I love you and stuff like that. That's why I'm like, if we're at that point, why don't you just make
A
me both y' all say y' all love each other, right?
E
Yeah, we do. Yeah, we. I literally was with him this morning.
B
Got it.
A
Okay.
B
He's not. You don't go days without seeing him.
E
No, No, I don't think I can. Can.
C
Okay.
E
But also, he can't either most of the time. Sometimes he's like, so where's that.
B
So, okay, last question. Where's the trust part coming in. Has there been other women in the six months?
E
Yeah, there has.
B
There we go.
E
So, yes, that literally is it. And it's like, the main reason I end things is because she. She's literally a brought up because of, like, he still. She still reaches out to him.
A
Him is his ex.
E
Yeah.
A
How long. How long was he dating that ex?
E
Three years. Okay.
B
Why did they break up? Why did they break up? That's very important.
E
I just. Because he was going out, I'm pretty sure. And she just didn't like it. And then the feelings kind of, like, went away. But, like, they ended on good terms. Terms.
B
That's not good. I was hoping somebody cheated on somebody, would have had some cooking, but they ended on good terms, and they still keep in contact with each other.
E
Okay, so, like, I don't. That's why I. Like, I. Yeah, maybe, but I tell him not to. That's why I end things. And he's like, it's not like that. It's not like that.
A
I'm like, wait, what ton of voice and what tone of voices he's saying? It's not like that.
E
It's. It's the exact kind of tone of voice you think. It's like the. It's not like that.
D
Like, I don't even know.
E
Like, he's basically like, I don't care.
A
Like, that's your lot one, too.
B
I'm not gonna lie. This hurt.
D
Yeah, this. It hurt.
B
It hurt to see you going through this and that. There's nothing we can do. You got to go through whatever you got to go through by yourself.
E
Because it's like, no, he is. He's obsessed with you guys. You guys need to just tell him. Choose her. She learned how to do the salsa. I even went to a Mexican band, and I made it on their Instagram.
B
Oh, my God.
E
It went viral.
B
You are just. I would. I would advise you just, like, just keep. Just keep it short and just keep it about him not learning his hold.

You got a girl? You got a girlfriend?
D
No, I got a fiance, but this wasn't my fiance that did it.
C
Oh, it never is, bro. It never is. By the way, it's never the show that you married. It's always your. Your elite eater. You know what I'm saying? 6. 6 Man of the year.
A
How'd you find out? You. Obviously. Obviously, you. You guys did it. But, like, how was the conversation brought up? Did you know that was going to happen that day or that night?
C
But did she just put your legs up like she was changing your diaper?
D
Well, she. She did. Did that, too, but she had sat me down on the bed, was, like, so what are the things you haven't done, want to do? Want to try? And I was like, well, I done did everything. I just. I lowkey tried wanted to get my ass ate. And she was like, sure. And I said, why were you so quick with that?
C
Because she's eating with ass.
D
And then she said, take them off. And then I lift my legs up. And at that moment I was like, I don't like this. I feel like a. Yeah, you was
C
holding the back of your knees up.
D
I was. And then at one point I decided to cross my legs and she was like, even tighter. I was like, all right, cool.
C
Yeah, that's wild, bro. Your. Your feet was pointed at the ceiling fan.
D
Nah, I was. They were on her back. Digging.
B
She said digging. You are. I. I like don't believe this is a one time thing, bro.
D
No, I was a straight one time thing. I actually blocked her after that.
B
Said he blocked her after that.
D
Okay. N. It was the part after was pulling up into the water burger like line and then my was just farting. I was like, yeah, I can't do that again.
B
No, she your farting. She doing more than that.

Yo, facts.
D
She tried, but I was like, hey man. I said, just wait.
B
She tried.
D
So I mean, yeah.
C
Oh my God, she put a turkey baster up there.
A
So the thing is that you say you didn't like it. Was it the only thing you didn't like was the position you're in?
D
No, I didn't like the whole. Her tongue in the ass.
A
So you let her do.
D
I like the tension.
A
Did you bring that up to her during the moment or did you let the whole thing kind of go?
D
No, got see it through, my boy.
B
I was farting. Like you couldn't control your farts.
D
Like, nah, nah. I was actually weirded out. I was like, that's how girls feel.
B
No, something had to go up. This like there's no way you just fart.
C
You can't get your asshole open. Did she eat your ass right after the colonoscopy? Like, how is that happening?
B
The story not adding up, bro. I'm not going to lie.
C
I'm holding a fart right now just out of respect for the pod.
D
I don't know, maybe because I was nervous and then I let loose after
C
your asshole started twitching, he leveled out and it was farting after.
A
That is funny. You asked another question. You can ask to the prompt. Am I wrong if.
D
Am I wrong if I wait until my girl goes to sleep to beat my meat?
B
Why. Why do you wait until she goes to sleep. Is she not giving you sex?
D
No, she. She gave it to me. It's just on the night, she don't feel like it. I'm just like, I'm away. And she's like, you. You can go do it. I'm just like, nah, it's just weird that, you know, so I'm just gonna wait.
C
She still know?
B
What, does she think you're doing it, too? Because most. Most women are either, like, they made you a tape or they gave you some pictures because they don't want you looking at other women like, what are you doing?
D
No, I'm not. And she's fine with me watching porn. It's just. She thinks that I like big booty white girls, and I hate big booty white girls.
B
I don't know if you hate big booty white.
C
Otherwise. Big booty white girls, and I hate big booty white girl.

A
So, like, does she care about what you look at, though? Like, the category?
D
Not really. I know she would have a problem if I had only fans, which I don't. So, I mean, other than that, not really.
B
So she don't check your phone for, like, anything?
A
Anything?
D
Nah, not really. She trusts me.
A

It's something else you watching that you're not supposed to be watching. That's why I think you wait. Because if she lets you. Oh, hell, if she lets you do all that stuff. This is like, something not adding up. Like, you left out the part about your gaping and you just farted. Now it's like, my wife is okay with me watching porn, but I wait until she sleep. That tells me that you're watching something that she wouldn't approve of. There's two things missing from both stories.

Hosts: Patrick Johnson (Pat) & Michael Esiobu (Mike)
Guest: The Kid Mero
In Episode 258, “Why Did You Cut Them Off?”, Pat and Mike dive into the complexities of friendship, relationships, social boundaries, and the phenomenon of "cutting people off." Joined by their guest The Kid Mero (formerly of Desus & Mero), the show blends trademark irreverent humor, candid self-reflection, and unfiltered listener call-ins about why people end relationships—platonic and romantic alike.
“There’s still that many more people who don't know about you... Just because you have a million followers, you have 10 million followers, there's still more people that don't know about you.” — Pat, [03:06]
“We're not household names. I don't think we're even house phone names. And that's okay.” — Mike, [04:46]
“You gotta leave that in God’s hands at that point.” — Pat, [06:57]
“You just gotta get far away so that your new son would only meet your other son in the state championship.” — Mike, [07:25]
“Pause actually came as a savior at first... before pause you had to stop these dudes.” — Mike, [14:11]
A segment where the hosts and Mero break down what common relationship phrases really mean:
“It's, yo, get the fuck away from me. You're mad, you're beat. You're wild annoying right now. Get the fuck out of here before something bad happens.” — Mero, [15:47]
“Oh, no, they smashing, bro. Those cheeks are getting clapped.” — Mero, [20:35]
“That’s the one where they’re like, ‘yo, I feel like you’re not happy.’ They try to put it on you…this is prologue.” — Mero, [23:04]
“That’s how I used to let people know their ranking system is, and they need to get their loyalty up.” — Mike, [25:14]
Hosts and Mero compete to give “the worst possible advice” to wild hypothetical situations:
“That’s your new body.” — Mero, [28:14]
“Yo, bro, you just lost your job. Guess what? The bodega up the street, they got the baggies and the cut. Let’s get to work.” — Mero, [29:16]
Some of the wildest, funniest—and sometimes sad—stories from listeners who ended friendships or relationships. Key moments:
“That’s step number one. That’s the gateway drug, you know what I’m saying?” — Mero, [51:26]
“I’m literally just–like, I’ve shown up at his house one time…Because I’m, like, obsessed with him.” — Caller, [59:13]
“I'm playing.”
“No, I'm not playing. Listen, bro, she is. Damn.” [66:45]
“If you don’t understand when to thing, understand this: this is the illest pod out right now.” — Mero, [74:28]
Episode 258 delivers the classic Crash Dummies blend: roasted egos, side-splitting hypotheticals, impromptu life advice, real stories of heartbreak and betrayal, and the irrepressible energy of three friends calling bullshit on social norms. Mero’s presence elevates both the banter and the cultural observations, while the call-in section creates a real-time mirror for the kind of messy, honest, and hilarious conversations people are having everywhere.
