Wheezy
We'Re not gonna lie. We don't have to lie. It wasn't her day. You know how, like, sometimes we come into the studio and it's like we're not feeling it? Maybe that was just that day.
Mandy B.
Nigga, you know who doesn't have an off day? Beyonce. I saw.
Wheezy
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I seen some of the YouTubes. Some days, Blue is giving way more energy than Beyonce. You could tell when Beyonce. Beyonce, the vocals were always vocal, but sometimes she don't hit the note. The dance steps the same.
Mandy B.
We ain't gonna talk about how Beyonce can't dance.
Wheezy
No, no, no. She does dance, but sometimes you could tell, Blue, this your show today, girl.
Mandy B.
No.
Wheezy
So you give it to Em.
Mandy B.
That was what happened at the show I was at. So I went to the Juneteenth show, and I was like, oh, this isn't as much dancing as Renaissance. However, literally, I was telling my nigga, she came out and I was like, can you imagine how much she gotta travel and shit?
Wheezy
He's like, I know.
Mandy B.
It's like, damn, this is an exhausting life. We just start talking about it. The way she was singing, I was like, when is she off?
Wheezy
No, her vocals are not.
Mandy B.
Holy shit. First of all, Yaya, which is not my jam on the fucking album, Yahya.
Wheezy
Where she was screaming at? Nah.
Mandy B.
I was like, oh, my God, this country album is doing it. Also, this is my first Cowboy Carter show. I know a lot of people have been going because it hit the States. I didn't know this would happen, and I don't know if anyone else felt this way. So I'm out walking around for the show. I just see a bunch of white.
Wheezy
People with American flag gear and fucking.
Mandy B.
Hats and shit, dude. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on, man?
Wheezy
And it didn't hit me.
Mandy B.
They was going to Cowboy Carter something. I'm Seeing all the American flag wear.
Wheezy
Were you at the show where Miley Cyrus came out?
Mandy B.
Yeah. Also, Jay Z comes out two days later. I feel like this Juneteenth play.
Wheezy
Yeah.
Mandy B.
I'm not gonna lie.
Wheezy
I don't know how. I mean, Miley was dance. She was for the culture. I like Miley. Oh.
Mandy B.
I mean, she's on the album, so I understand. But the fact that y'. All n got N in Paris and.
Wheezy
I got Miley, don't do that. Miley is a legend. And, you know, I don't talk about white people too much like that. I love me some Miley. I was jealous that, like, if that's the show you was in, I'm jealous. I've seen Jay Z perform.
Mandy B.
I went to the Blueprint too.
Wheezy
I went to the Blueprint 3 tour. It was like this. Miley, I ain't gonna hold you. That's my little white girl right there. I like her. And she sound like she shouldn't sing the way she sound and talk. She real deep with it.
Mandy B.
Okay.
Wheezy
I love me some Miley.
Mandy B.
I was at the show where Rumi was tired of y' all niggas. And that was funny. I will say this. So we got there. We're fucking burnt out from Cannes and from fucking Berlin, Berghain and all that shit, dog. I woke up and I know that y' all must think I don't love Beyonce, because I'm saying this, but I got my tickets weeks ago. We were so tired. I saw the clock was 6:45, and you know, that show started at 8, doors open at 7. I said, maybe we can go see her another day. And he was like, baby, you got to get it. Like, come on, you can talk about this shit. I was like, I'll lie. I don't care. I'll lie. I don't give a damn. I ain't getting up. So we put on the tv. I'm like, I just want to cuddle with you. This is how much TV matters. And I really was like, I'll go see Beyonce in Vegas or something. That's what I started thinking. We watched the TV in France, and, you know, some TVs you Chromecast, some hotel TVs you don't.
Wheezy
I didn't turn on the TV the whole time I was in France.
Mandy B.
Well, I was tired, so I needed a break. We turned that TV on, and the only thing they had was Donald Trump and motherfucking. One channel that spoke Engli and it was ping pong. I said, get up. We're going to see Beyonce. I ain't watching ping pong. He's dying. He's like. He's like, I'll get. I'll post it up. I'll get it so you can get comfy. No, we get in the car and something. I just want to say that I appreciate. France has some of the most beautiful men. And again, the thing I think that makes them so beautiful, I'm looking at black dudes, right? Is they're Africans. You see, you know, Africans got that fucking jawline, that model bone structure. Dark skinned, tall. Bro, we walking up to Beyonce.
Wheezy
He said, who the fuck is these things? The girls too.
Mandy B.
The women cops, all the security and all the policemen. All the police women. Everybody was fine. Everybody's just Stacer. He's like, this is Fashion Week. What the fuck going on? I'm like, welcome to France.
Wheezy
It was getting ready to be Fashion Week, though, no?
Mandy B.
Cause that's how good they look.
Wheezy
But Men's Fashion Week was happening that.
Mandy B.
Week for the cops.
Wheezy
But Men's Fashion Week was so.
Mandy B.
A lot of it was happening when I was there, but they were leading up to it that Monday was talking about it. Yeah, I wasn't there. So basically, like, we start talking about it and he was saying to me, it's something. I don't know if you've noticed this while traveling abroad. He's like, damn, I never think of Europeans as black because Euro is white. I don't think about immigration. Like, you go to London, you meet all these Caribbean baddies because they grew up there. Like, he's like, it just didn't hit me. Like, every bitch I'm looking at bad as fuck. And they're born here, dawg. At one point, we had a bitch selling us a hot dog. And she was like, the bitches was bad bitch. I'm telling you, being able to be surrounded by black beauty, that's just not at home. We take New York for granted. You know when you travel and you're.
Wheezy
Like, ooh, sniggers here. And they ain't.
Mandy B.
Because we just, outside of our home, just being able to be out and just be amongst different cultures and languages. We were in Europe for weeks and it was just. It was just dope and it made me really horny. And even though we weren't successful at a threesome, something I found very interesting, we were in the club talking to this girl in Germany, super sexy, and she's like, oh, you guys will love this party. It's an Afrobeats party tomorrow come. I was like, you Know what? We're in an open relationship, and we really want to pull up with you. And she's like, oh, perfect. Like, perfect. We'll go together. When do you guys leave? I was like, we leave the next day, then we'll have our night together. We'll have a night. Perfect. That's what she said. Next time we're talking to someone else, we're talking about our relationship. We were in this club till 9am by the way. It's called Phantom Bar. It's awesome. So she said, 75% of the people that I meet that are under 35 are in open relationships. And some of my married friends are also in open dynamics too. She's like, when I'm watching content from America, I see that everybody's, like, thinking, it's so crazy. And so whatever. She's like, I even grew up with my mom having a boyfriend, but also dating my dad. And she says that she feels we've been so blocked when it comes to sexuality because of religion and all these different things. And I must say, I wonder if open relationships could be more successful if we weren't in these current ideas every day. Cause let's just say you're a girl who listens to horrible or a guy that listens to the show. Decisions, decisions. And you're hearing about Mandy and I.
Wheezy
And you tell your friends.
Mandy B.
Are your friends gonna judge you? Cause we all grew up thinking this shit was bad. Like, are we really just a product of where we came from?
Wheezy
I talk about that in the book. Literally, biologically, environmentally, and socially. Yes. Like our. Like how our families raised us, the religions that we were brought up in, the environments we were in. It's why I talk about the privilege of being able to have my 20s in New York, like being back in Atlanta. They're light years behind the sex clubs and sex spaces and lifestyle spaces that I've been able to enjoy up here in New York. Like, it absolutely is your environment, how you're family raised you. And I think that's why it's so important. Like, when you have autonomy over the type of life you want to have, the type of sexuality you want to have, you got to do a lot of unlearning. Especially if you grew up with ignorance, if you grew up in a religious household that said only monogamy was the way to be happy or be in a relationship, or if marriage is the by all withal of what happiness looks like with a partner. Or if you're a woman and you being raised to here you go. Here's your baby. Here's the kitchen. A mom is what your life should be. I think that there has to be ways in which we kind of unlearn the things, because I don't think anything's really traditional anymore. I think with social media, with the openness of being able to see all these different lifestyles, like, right at our fingertips, I think that it's been incredible for people not only to have to visit new places, but listening to this show, they get to see that there's a lot of possibilities when it comes to, like, how you can exist in love. Yeah. I think I've mentioned that in my anal sex chapter. I talk about, like, the homophobia around anal sex growing up, and maybe it being rooted, the homophobia specifically being rooted in the black community, because the black community is ingrained in the church. And there you go. That's all I got to say about Daniel.
Mandy B.
Imagine just thinking you up there being a pastor. Just think you're doing God's work, and really, you're fucking us all up.
Wheezy
We can't come.
Mandy B.
We ain't learning all the kind of new sexuality and shit. Like, shit be fucked up. The way that, like, my ex and I would have conversations and sometimes her religion, we even come into play when. Never told me this out of her mouth, by the way, but I could feel, I think, sometimes shame about, you know, loving a woman or something like that. I think it just happens. I think it's very natural. And it kind of sucks because the older we get, it's like you either have to become the person you are and piss off the people that.
Wheezy
Yeah, right. I got a gay husband, a lesbian sister, and I'm Jamaican. So it's really. The homophobia is rooted heavily in Caribbean culture. And so, yeah, I thought about that, and I mentioned that about my cousin. I'm like, damn. We never got to meet his partner. He couldn't live in Jamaica because of his sexuality. And I'm just like, damn. I always wonder, like, how sad it was that he couldn't openly live his truth, especially in the 90s and early thousands. So I gotta call. I gotta call him, see how he been.
Mandy B.
I gotta call, see how he been.
Wheezy
So I wanted to share a little story time with y', all, because Atlanta, boy, is Atlanta in. In every way. Which fashion, if you guys are patrons, by the time y' all hear this episode, you would've already heard, I'm back single, back out on these streets. And I guess living in Atlanta. Well, living in Atlanta with a boyfriend, I was Always just going out, eating, having drinks with my homeboy Keith, with Crystal, with Taylor, with, like, my friends. And I wasn't out looking or seeing at all what it was like in the dating pool in Atlanta, Georgia.
Mandy B.
So is there piss in it?
Wheezy
So you know what? Here's the thing. And y' all know I like to hold people accountable. So got this story, and it was real, real, real, real interesting. So we go out one night, and we literally make it an adventure. Because I'm like, okay, you and your girls. Me? Just me and Crystal.
Mandy B.
Okay.
Wheezy
Cause Crystal, so here the thing we already know. White men don't approach us. But I'm like, bro, we in Atlanta. Everywhere we go is black. Like, let's pick these places. So, bitch, I pick a night. We hit up three spots. We started Little Alley, which is a steakhouse.
Mandy B.
I've been there. I like that.
Wheezy
We go from Little Alley. Actually, we hit four places. We go from Little Alley, then we go to Sauce. We go from Sauce to Red Phone booth, which is a cigar bar. End the night at mck. So we go to four places, mind you.
Mandy B.
Is mck a club?
Wheezy
Mck. The restaurant lounge has a speakeas in the back. That's the spot. I'm trying not to go to too much. Cause it be them. So we start the night off. We go to this steakhouse. It's a weekend where the Qs are out. So everybody got the purple on. But it's like the old ones. Oh, it's the old heads. It's the fedora crowd. It's like they wearing their jackets from, like, the 80s or 90s or something. So it's the old head crowd, unknown.
Mandy B.
So they run out. Unk function.
Wheezy
What? The unction. The super unction. So we go to Lil Alley. And it's mad guys, mind you. They see us, right? Nobody says a word. We eat our dinner. We're like, well, damn, There is niggas in here, by the way, too. There's a table across from us. They stare at us the whole time, not one word spoken. So I'm like, damn, we ain't really starting this night off too well. I go to saws, because I know the bartender there, he wasn't there. And I was like, eh, it's a little small. Let's hit Red phone booth. So we go to Red phone booth. Red Phone booth is one of my favorite places that I used to go when I lived in New York still. So Red Phone booth looks. So it is a speakeasy. You have to have a number to get in. It's a members only thing. And it's deep. It's older than the unction. It's like 45, 50 plus.
Mandy B.
Okay.
Wheezy
Full of men. Full of men. It's a cigar bar.
Mandy B.
How they look?
Wheezy
They got money, like, and they're black. Establishment.
Mandy B.
How are the women?
Wheezy
There's not many women. Oh, there's not many women. Get me out though. Walked in. There was quite a bit. We walk in. Mind you, it is a Friday night. There's nowhere for us to sit. And the doorman knows. Knows me because we go there quite often. So we go to walk and he's like, oh, we have these chairs here. Mind you, we're dressed really cute. Like, there's dress codes at all these places. We're dressed cute. There's two chairs in the hallway. We both look at him like, we not finna sit here. Like, we gonna look like we here to try to meet some niggas. So. So we're here for an experiment to see if anyone's gonna talk. Like, maybe we'll meet someone. But we're not pressed because we never meet anybody anytime we go out. So we go to the back room and we get. We get sat. Caddy corner, and it's full of men. N is playing pool. There's a table of these men. They're all taking pictures. So, you know, they eat the orange stuff.
Mandy B.

No purchase necessary vgw group void where prohibited by law 21 + terms and conditions apply. So I see this group, couple of them look good. Very like sharp dudes. Like they got the cigars. They're all drinking their fucking whiskey with the big old ice cube in the glass. Very, very demure, very sophisticated. Clearly wealthy black man. Because we looking at the watches. So we sitting there in the corner. Don't nobody speak to us. Don't nobody really look at us. So me and Chris were like, all right, bitch, well we gonna get a drink. And I was cracking up. Cause I was like, bro, they hate us. I'm talking shit, but like, only to hurt. So finally we get the menu. I order my gimlet.
Mandy B.
Why'd you say they hate us?
Wheezy
Cause I'm just like, bro, this is our second place. When we go out, niggas do not approach us. And I keep telling her, I said. Cause she got this resting bitch face. I said, I don't know what the fuck it gives. Mind you. The night before. The night before. Hold on. We go to Cheetah, bitch. We get a compliment on our hair, our jeans. Women approach us all night. Not one man in the strip club approached us. So I was like, well, maybe. Cause we competing with the naked bitches. We competing with naked bitches. Strip club ain't gonna be it. But we go to. I go to Cheetah to eat. That's like my dinner spot. So anyway, we at red phone booth. We sitting here, we order our drinks. Our drinks come, we keep talking. And I'm like, bro, we gonna smell like cigars. Like, let's finish our drinks and get out. Finally, we get invited over to the seat. Mind you shout out to one of the whorehive members. She was an older lady. She said, I know who you are. She said, but I ain't gonna say nothing. Cause they don't know who you are. And I said, thank you, girl. And so we like do this little thing. So I go over and sit down and. And we start talking. Finally, they buying us rounds of drinks. Crystal comes over, she's talking. It's like three guys. Finally we go to. Yeah, we didn't think y' all were gonna speak. He lets me know the breakdown and Atlanta women, I'm gonna tell you what the men are looking for. Cause y' all are fucking ruining this shit. Oh, we were shocked. So two things. He said. We saw y' all walk in. He said, some girl on TikTok recently made a video that, this is where you come and get a sugar daddy. So he's like, we've been coming to this place for the last couple years. He said, there has been an influx now of women that come in here. And it's because that video said, this is where you get a sugar daddy. So he's like, this became our spot to chill. He's like, now we know we being prayed on when the bitches come through. So he said, not prayer. So he said, we watched y' all come in, we talked about y'. All. He said, immediately, working girls is what they thought. Here's how they knew we weren't, which was crazy. He said, y' all asked for the menu. I said, yeah, because we were gonna get a drink. He said, that's how we knew y' all weren't prostitutes. He said, let me tell you what the girls do in here. He said, no. He said, they come in, they'll sit in the corner, order water. And he said, then when you approach them mysteriously, it's their birthday, they're celebrating. They want all these drinks. So he's like, we were waiting to see if y' all actually ordered a drink. Cause the girls that come in here will drink a water until a man approaches them. And then it becomes this thing where they order everything. So I was like, okay. I was like, okay. Interesting. He was like, yeah, we saw y' all talking shit. Da, da, da. So I was like, oh, damn. Y' all saw me. Cause I was. I was clearly cutting up. Then he said another thing that was really interesting. He said, another reason we didn't really speak to y'. All. He said, y' all light skinned. And I was like, what? Apparently not black men. Like black women in Atlanta, like brown girls. And I was like, I fuck I. And I told her this. I said, bro, it's because we light skin. And I know, like, people assume, like, there's a. There's a. And there is a world. Yes. Where that's what people prefer something. It was so interesting and also, like, good to know. They were like, yeah, like, we like our brown girl. Like, it's Atlanta.
Andy B.
Yeah.
Wheezy
I was like, he said, you light skinned. He said, you little light skinned bitches. We also wanted to make sure y' all weren't prostitutes. And it was so interesting hearing him a talk about like, unfortunately, light skinned girls have a very bad reputation apparently with also not being nice, not being welcoming. Like, he started like, you know, men have their way of the same way. We know certain men are gonna act a certain way. I wanna say this was just one isolated group. I'm not speaking for it as a main thing, but hearing this group talk, they all had the same experiences with light skinned girls not really being nice. And then girls coming into that specific bar being prostitutes and not really wanting to talk. And so, and hearing how people are navigating dating in Atlanta, this is where I want to hold the women accountable. Because for my other friends that I talked about who aren't old, who are in their 30s, who have good paying jobs, he said as soon as they go on dates, the girls are saying what bills they need paid. This is a common thing. But apparently, and maybe because the Africans is there tricking, apparently, it gotta be working. Girls gotta be getting their bills paid somehow. But it's become a thing that like, there's really no rapport in building a conversation or seeing what chemistry looks like in Atlanta. Everything is really, really, really transactional. And the men are hip. That women is out here looking for sponsors and tricks.
Mandy B.
I mean, can we be real here for a second when it comes to Atlanta dating or big city dating? We said this a few weeks ago during a breakfast lover. I think I mentioned it. Everybody's dating or trying to date the same niggas, right? So what happens in these cities is like, we've all decided who the creme de la creme n is. And everyone's really. A friend is coming to mind who I don't want to say sells pussy.
Wheezy
But she sell pussy.
Mandy B.
No, she doesn't. I'm trying to like find the words.
Wheezy
She sells experiences.
Andy B.
No, she's a good time.
Mandy B.
She just always has a nigga taking care of her. She's just like always that girl that's got a n taking care of her. And I have a lot of beautiful friends and sometimes it happens for them, sometimes that doesn't. This girl just always happens, right?
Wheezy
Okay.
Mandy B.
She doesn't live in New York or Atlanta. However, one of the things she said to me recently was like, girl, I just really want love right now. And I find that men love me and my body and how I look. Because she does have like a crazy natural body. She's like, well, I'm just not meeting dudes that like actually want me. I Was like, okay, I'm gonna hold your hand. Now. I've known you maybe two or three years, not long. I've never seen you once go out and scout a guy because he's attractive. Cause you wanna go see a movie. I have seen you almost reject niggas coming to talk to us because they look plain to you. You have always and notoriously dated the same niggas. So now we're on the phone for an hour about you telling me how this nigga ain't shit. Bitch, you knew the N wasn't shit. And I think what sucks is the reality of finding out that, like, the things that we're asking for aren't gonna come in the package that we're seeking. Sometimes if you live in Atlanta and you like to go to the club with your friends and y' all look at the niggas at tables, do you think that's the candidate? Like, do you think the nigga that's always trying to get a fucking table? I'm not talking about dudes that are out with their friends because it's a birthday. I'm talking about the nigga that's notorious. Notoriously gonna be in the same spot. The one that everybody knows, the one the promoter knows not saying he can't be faithful and never cheat on you and maybe has no other children, but let's call a spade a spade. When you want to meet decent men, how is it going to be packaged? Like the niggas that look like they ain't shit. For example, if I'm a man, let's just call a stereotype. A stereotype. You have a fucking BBL and a Kim Kardashian lip and hair, and you got that look. I'm going to assume you might be a hoe and got a bunch of niggas and maybe fucked other niggas I know in a club, just going to assume it.
Wheezy
Am I wrong here?
Mandy B.
Not saying that the normal bitch ain't doing that, but there's a look to those men and there's a look to those women. So you can't sit here and tell me how much you want love. Now, when every time we go out, you like, oh, look at that. Niggas this and that, and you're clocking them for bread. It's just. It's just not gonna happen, bro. Any relationship I know that's successful, I'm sorry, but, like, it seemed to have had some organic start to it. Maybe it was a dating app, Maybe they made a school, whatever the fuck it was. It's not this I'm scouting niggas tonight vibe. And when you start to do that, that's the energy you literally bring in. He's scouting you too, bitch, for pussy. So how is it then that you start fucking the nigga that just wanted to fuck you, that you just wanted money from? That three months down the road isn't really taking you serious.
Wheezy
How.
Mandy B.
How did you fucking start off?
Wheezy
I think that's how a lot of women, though, are approaching, like, the transactionalness of only going after a guy that could do for you. Not because you like him, not because you. You have the same interests. Like, if you going out scouting for the next dude that's going to be able to pay your rent, your car note, or take you on a trip, like, you going to end up with the same. And these regular niggas do it, dog. I'm telling you. Like, it might take them a couple checks. They might have to save up a couple of checks.
Mandy B.
Mandy, they probably own a home. It's probably just taking them to fucking like you, because tricks do it really fast.
Wheezy
Well, no, I'm just talking about the economy we in. Like, right?
Mandy B.
But when I say regular dude, I'm genuinely speaking. I. I really be thinking, these scammer niggas, first of all, they ain't got no fucking money. Them niggas ain't got bank accounts.
Wheezy
Oh, I never talk about a scammer.
Mandy B.
Right. I'm just thinking about the popularity of that culture. Maybe the scammer spends that money on you quick, bro. The second you have you a regular nigga, that's, like, planning his life, bitch, you safe. I'm sorry, but, like, all this pain and a lot of heartbreak, when I'm hearing about it, it sounds like we saw the road to get there. So when I'm hearing my friend say this to me, dawg, and it was such a recent conversation. Oh, I told her. I was like, bitch, I'm talking about you on the show. Like, you are the epitome of. I'm asking for something and I'm not receiving it because I'm not looking for it.
Wheezy
Oh, she's one of those days, waiting for one of these lit dudes to be her dude.
Mandy B.
Yes. And the waiting game. And they feel it too. You know what I mean? I think what it boils down to is when you genuinely are seeking partnership, you need to seek people that seem like good partners. For example, if I wanted a good business partner to open a club with, maybe I could go to the niggas that's always in the club. Or I could find somebody that's consistently working in hospitality and understands what it's like to run a brick and mortar. I could do that. I could do someone that looks good on the outside. Oh, yeah, of course it's going to work out, because blah, blah. Or I could work with someone that has acumen. Literally start treating dating like a fucking business, nigga. Would you get into business with that nigga? These relationships that start out, you know, just off the simple fact that he's lit and you're lit and you're hot. Like, it's. It just. It gets fucked up every time. And I've done it, too. I've been the one looking for niggas with money, too. And that's when I genuinely think that's just got to stay in my. You're in that selling pussy Sugar baby Lane. You got to be there, bro. You can't then want this guy to not fuck anyone else, not do all these other things when you're genuinely not treating it like a relationship. You're.
Wheezy
I just want y' all to know the men is calling y' all prostitutes When y' all out ordering water. And then it becomes mysteriously a celebration. When they come over with their pocketbooks, you immediately are being looked at as something. If you don't want to be looked like that, bro, have the money to where you and your homegirl can at least go out and order your own first drink. Have the money to order your first drink. That would just be my tip.
Mandy B.
First drink is a good tip, bro.
Wheezy
Order your first drink. Don't walk into a place and do your rounds and wait till a man asks you, like, what's your name? Don't go to a bar and just sit and wait. If your pockets are even strained, please have enough money to order your first drink. Because then that just opens up to where you don't look like you there trying to get picked up.
Mandy B.
We gotta get these other niggas a chance, dog. Y' all gotta stop looking at Instagram. Listen, everybody. First date being a vacation is not real, bitch. It's not fucking real. It's not fucking real. Like, seriously, if we are wanting the things that we say, bitch in my 20s. And if you still in your 20s, keep fucking them niggas.
Wheezy
Also, if you want to read about how terrible we were in our twenties, no holds barred, a dual manifesto of sexual exploration and power out. Now, because I was slacking that pussy.
Mandy B.
For a little chick.
Wheezy
Oh. And was and was. And I talk about that in the progression chapter. So I'm no longer going to tell y' all to use your pussy for rent unless you absolutely have to. I literally said, now, if you have to, don't be like old girl in that Tyler Perry movie. All she had to do was sell some pussy, and she would have been just fine. No. What? I'm just saying she could have just sold some pussy, dawg. When we talked about.
Mandy B.
When you watched it, were you screaming at the TV when we talked with.
Wheezy
Keke Palmer Straw about one of them days? At one point, she said they was in the writing room and there was a scene about selling feet. Let's be clear. Yes, this is our biggest prize possession, and it come with a price tag. Sometime the pussy got a price tag. Use it if you absolutely need to. But, yes, Taraji could have just sold some pussy and been a fine single mom.
Mandy B.
Let's think. You need rent paid. This your bottom dollar? It's not the first of all.
Wheezy
I got enough niggas in my phone that didn't got just.
Mandy B.
If you had to. On the count of three, say your price. Not the highest, not the lowest.
Wheezy
Wait, you just said rent. We have one rent price. You said, if I need to pay rent, just.
Mandy B.
I said help toward the rent. Sorry, just a little extra cash. What's the price on the coochie? 1, 2, 3.
Wheezy
First off, it ain't even price on the coochie. Y' all don't even know I ain't shared this story. This nigga wasted my time a couple weeks ago. Cause I've been single. Yeah, this nigga wasted my time a couple weeks ago. Said it like that, y'. All. He pissed me off so bad. I told him he owed me $10,000 for wasting my time. We didn't get. He didn't get no pussy. He didn't get no head. He sent me $10,000. Waste of my time. And I said, I never want to talk to you again. And then he really sent that money. And I was like. A couple days later, I was like, you good? My bad. I said I was not cutting this nigga off. I said, okay, okay. So now I'm just waiting for him. When I'm ready to buy my house, I'm gonna be like, hey, I need help. But to me, to have a nigga on my line that I could be like, hey, fuck, nigga. You don't wasted my time. You had me going all over the motherfucking place. Da da, da, da. Send me $10,000 for wasting my time. And he do It. I ain't gonna hold you. He did.
Mandy B.
He did that nigga deal.
Wheezy
He did. I ain't gonna hold you. But here's my thing, right? And it's a really hard time for a lot of people right now, especially single mothers. I don't know how y' all do it. Best birth control for me.
Mandy B.
No, that made me send my homegirl some money.
Wheezy
It's so straw man. It's so. For me, though, not to push prostitution on the girls. I'm about to say a lot of p. Oh, my God. Not to push prostitution on the girls. But to me, it is poor pussy management. If you are well into your 30s and you done gave that pussy out for the last 15, 20 years, depending on when you started fucking. Say you started fucking at 15, you 35. That is 20 years of dick.
Mandy B.
No, I know, that's. How's your body count? Eight. I don't believe you.
Wheezy
Even if it's eight. If you come across hard times and not one of them 8N could shoot you some money, you gotta go into the little stall at the church and talk to the man, or you gotta call your therapist. But you have to sit in a mirror and be like, bitch, you got some poor pussy management, and you should never. A nigga again who can't throw you a little bit of change if you going through a hard time, bitch, I saw that shit. I said, taraji, you got a whole kid. You can't call nobody. You ain't put that pussy on nobody.
Mandy B.
Wait, put me on the Y real quick. This is what Mandy just did. Taraji, you can't call nobody.
Wheezy
You can't. You can't. Not one nigga is missing your pussy enough to be like, where you hit him up? And be like, hey, man, I'm going through a hard time right now. I need a little help, dog. But that shit pissed me off so bad, I was like, now what it is? This could throw you a little bit of change. Posting management.
Mandy B.
Look, I literally want to do a test, but I gotta respect my relationship. But I really gotta respect.
Wheezy
No, no, we should do a test on Patreon. We should just hit up, like, three old niggas and be like, hey, man.
Mandy B.
Let me get $300. No, no, no, no.
Wheezy
See, we got money now. You gotta ask for at least a thousand now. Oh, my God. No. If you on hard work.
Mandy B.
Page six. What? From Ken? I'm sorry. I can't talk to you anymore. I'm famous.
Wheezy
Oh, my God. Who?
Mandy B.
Us, bitch.
Wheezy
Wait, we are on page six, bitch. With Eva Longoria. My relationship, my homegirl is there.
Mandy B.
I need lashing, though.
Wheezy
I need. I need that. Anywho, okay. Anyway. Poor pussy management, ladies. It is 2025. We is in a recession. We about to have World War iii. You need to have your niggas in check right now. Go through your phone. Any man that you done gave some pussy to, put him in your notes. You need to have on speed dial the three dudes that you know could help you out when the missiles start dropping, who gonna come and save you, bitch? Dog? Who coming to save you, bitch? God damn it. It's rough out here. Damn. I really don't. Girl, you got three that you can ask.
Mandy B.
I know you might be able to.
Wheezy
Ask that Jamaican from back in the day. Which one? Which one? One of them, bitch. You was in the clubs with them. You had a little group. You was out.
Mandy B.
I ain't gonna lie. I got a nigga. I know for sure.
Wheezy
I'm not gonna lie. I feel like I got shit.
Mandy B.
He just had a 35th birthday on a yacht with his baby mama, and I was like, oh, you still trapping?
Wheezy
Oh, I ain't gonna hold you. Even the sugar daddies that I mentioned in the book, bitch, they both divorced now, so I feel like I could really slide back in if I wanted to.
Mandy B.
But we just friends.
Wheezy

Mandy B.
You know, I've been the person people borrow money from so often. I've been wanting to talk about this B. Simone thing because I have a take that I think you the obvious take is after the H and M thing. We're all rolling ours.
Wheezy
A couple weeks ago, B. Simone went viral for two clips.
Mandy B.
We've got to insert that reactionary being.
H
A best friend with a celebrity. Everybody thinks that, oh, because you're connected to this person, then your life is just as grand as theirs. Or you got.
Wheezy
Or you got it. Or they helping you.
H
Baby didn't have a job. Living with my parents, a single mom. All this happened to me this past year.
Wheezy
Jesus.
H
And then it's like to not have resentment in my heart towards you because I saw you do this for other people. I saw you give a check to somebody to help them through whatever they went through. And it's like, God, like, nobody didn't give me a handout. But guess what? That wasn't your responsibility. God had to take me through that for my own season, for my own thing. I had to get my car repossessed.
Mandy B.
Jesus.
H
I had to go through the food stamps line. I had to be on Medicaid because whatever he. I'm building my story, too. But it's like, as a friend who. Somebody who has it. It's hard to digest. They're probably shocked that I'm even saying this right now.
Mandy B.
So, number one, the clip with the friend.
Wheezy
Yep.
Mandy B.
Now I'm someone that has an apartment or two in my name for a friend. Dog. Like, I really. If my friend got kids, I'll do anything for you. But one, I don't think that's her best friend. And two, I must say, I don't know how long that person has been there.
Wheezy
Right. Me neither.
Mandy B.
I have had friends that I've helped that can't fucking get it together.
Wheezy
Yeah.
Mandy B.
Same in that clip. Even though I rolled my eyes at B. Simone, I then thought, if my friend called me in a panic with no place to live, obviously I would do anything.
Wheezy
However.
Mandy B.
We all have that friend that never pays us back. We all have that friend that we're like, how you got a job and no money? Where does your money go? What is going on? And I started to think about that, and it really made me kind of settle into the feeling of I have been weeding out friends that really do have that poor money management shit out of my life. Slowly. Not like I'm trying to dub a broke friend, but on some shit, like, fuck, I hate the fact that you always in a bad position. This is my friends without children. I'm not saying that people with kids don't have bad management. It's just I can't imagine taking care of two people.
Wheezy
I'm gonna say something, something problematic. On top of that, if you are a friend that I constantly have to get out of a bind. But you fucking. Oh, bitch, don't let me find out you need money, but you just fucked a week ago.
Mandy B.
You giving up the pussy, but you need me.
Wheezy
But you need me. Oh, bitch, you better get your act the fuck together. And then also, don't be put. Don't be fucking. If you are in a bind where you can't ask this man that you're laying down, legs up in the air, you probably riding. Cause y' all bitches be riding. I don't. You probably riding that nigga dick from the back. But you calling me your friend, which, yes, I will help if I can, but you are laid up with somebody who's occupying your space, your body, your mind, and you don't feel comfortable enough to ask me anything.
Mandy B.
Not trying to say sell your pussy, but what are you doing? No, but let me tell you this. So I had this conversation with Breonda because me and her was hard, bitch. Someone asked for 40 bucks.
Wheezy
I ain't gonna lie. If someone asked for 40, they really need it.
Mandy B.
And another friend asked me for 5,000. Okay, in the same 48 hours. Okay, but we're talking about this. I'm like, bruh, obviously my friend that needs $40 getting 100 or 200 bucks. Like, I know you need the breath, but the one that, with the 5,000, I said to Bri, I'd be doing lectures. If you borrow money from me sometimes I be doing a little extra. That 5,000. I was like, I feel like I'll get that back in a second. Yeah, for sure. What is it about when someone needs that type of money where it's like, oop, I had a misstep in a check. Something happened, it was emergency. But then when it's that little money, you're like, what the fuck?
Wheezy
You'll never get that back. I mean, I think, I'm not asking. Yeah, but I think, I think a grown ass person, which is why I say when you just said, ask a nigga for $400, $200. No, you gotta ask for a thousand dollars. You gotta ask for something with a comma. Because listen, Nana's gonna ask for something.
Mandy B.
With a comma, bitch.
Wheezy
But to me, if someone is asking for $40, they don't know how to go get $40.
Mandy B.
Well, yeah, like, you know what I mean?
Wheezy
If you're asking for the $40, if.
Mandy B.
That means the check came out, a bill hit you, wasn't ready for I got you now. The thing that her and I were venting about. Cause Bri had a situation where someone asked for that too. And she was like, bro, this is hard for me because I just started this new business. You know, she's doing Trap house with me. And she's like, I'm just thinking to myself, I know this friend makes money. And I know I've been in places where I did it and I would never fucking do it. I'd fucking wait till that Friday. Like, I'mma get my shit together. I'm not gonna fucking be here putting myself in situations where I'm gonna embarrass myself to act, ask my friend for $40 and ain't got it either. And I was like, you know what? Some people, and I've said this on the show, someone taught me this lesson. Some people are natural born givers and takers. And for me, for the most part, when my friends are kind of in bad money situations, they've always been giving shit. And they're so used to just taking, they just don't feel like a big deal. And so when I saw this B. Simone clip, it was hitting me a lot. Cause I'm like, she's had her moments that have made me side eye her. And I like B. Simone a lot. I think she's a sweetie, but she's had moments. But in that one, I was like, nah, that girl's putting that shit on her.
Wheezy
I didn't like that. It reminds me of you gave somebody. Who was it? It reminds me of Jay Z when he said he stopped going to family functions because every time he went, it was like his cousins and people asking him for money.
Mandy B.
I can see that happening before.
Wheezy
And it's just like, bro. And I mean, that's the thing with my dad.
Mandy B.
Like, the girl moved in with her mom right when she said that. Mandy, sorry to interrupt you. Did you not think to yourself, like, okay, you had a place to go. Like, why are we acting like you was on the street with a kid and be Simone new like that? She was like, I had to move back in with my mom.
Wheezy
Like, okay, but that's the thing. As a friend. Then if you couldn't even pay for a roof over your head for you and your child, how much did you want B. Simone to show up for you? Did you want her to put you in an apartment? Like, was B. Simone supposed to show up and then raise a grown woman that she didn't push out of her coochie? I think that we can be supportive for our friends. But I do think that. And I said this. It's a layer take. I hate you. And I have busted our ass. Y' all have seen us for the last eight years. Like, I remember coming on here just wanting a Gucci belt and the balenciagas that look like socks. Couldn't even afford a $600 pair of shoes couple years ago on this pod. And I think that it's. It would be nasty for any of our friends, any of our family members to feel entitled to any of our money because they're unwell. Like, they're not doing well. Like. And me and my friends talk about it all the time. We always uplift each other anytime we can. Like, I'll give my friend a job. I'll find a way to hire my friends. But to me, the entitlement that it seemed like. Like, girl, I saw you give someone else a check, but you couldn't help me.
Mandy B.
I don't know what philanthropic shit. She's like, you don't know where you don't.
Wheezy
She said that? She said, I've had liquid cash before. She's like, I haven't, bro. She has a whole app now. You don't know the investments that people are making. You don't know how much overhead they have for you to just feel entitled to be given a gift.
Mandy B.
I will say if B. Simone knew her friend was struggling bad and maybe didn't because the girl kind of sounded like she was going through something and didn't. Or see. I don't know, it was awkward, but a lot of people were jumping down her throat. And I was like, that wasn't the clip for the throat jump. I think what I saw made me feel sorry. But also, people put that shit on you too. Like, Vinny tried to check a friend about that shit once. So Vinnie on Sex Sells, if you watch the unedited version on Amazon prime for the Botox one. I've talked about that a lot. Where he got his. His dick grew at the dick doc in Vegas. It's a thing. And he said that one. Some guy he knows were like, oh, so wheezy's just on vacation and traveling doing this, and you're just at work with your dick on TV for her show. And he was like, you know, what the fuck, wheezy? Like, dude, I literally find there's not an episode of Sex Sells where I'm not trying to give any. If anything, two little clips. I'm like, he's this and gets this and gets this. Like, you know, he's our tour manager. Like, just like your friends help us and stuff. Like getting our friends checks is what we're supposed to do. If they're good at what they do, yeah.
Wheezy
They have to be good at what they do.
Mandy B.
I'm not handing Vinnie out. Nothing. Vinny is valuable to my life and worthy. But, yes, we should be putting our people on. However, entitlement is insane with these people. On the H and M clip, I did look a little sideways, and it was only because I don't think she realized how out of touch she was in that moment.
Wheezy
We about to go into a world war. We in a recession exit. $36 having to shop at H and M is. Listen.
Mandy B.
But I watched her Road to a Million video and never counting someone's pockets. But that was a count, right? I think that's what makes it hard.
Wheezy
But that was also a couple years ago.
Mandy B.
It might be someone being a comedian that's just.
Wheezy
But I think so many people don't get to also see her. Like, B used to braid my hair. Like, Bea used to work as a hostess and a waitress. I would come to Atlanta, we would hang out, and I'd be like, girl, she would braid hair. She would do any and everything.
Mandy B.
She was like a million.
Wheezy
She did any and everything that she could do to make money. When maybe she didn't, she relocated from Dallas, moved to like. And who Bea is to her core, she's a hustler, but she is a good person. So I hate that the clips are coming out and I see the Internet talking about her because she. She has shown up in so many dope ways over the last decade of me knowing her that I hate that this narrative is now being created by her.
Mandy B.
But I think that B is.
Wheezy
I think it's.
Mandy B.
That clip is hard to see for people that go through shit.
Wheezy
Yeah.
Mandy B.
And we all need to keep in mind sometimes sharing. I was having a conversation with this. I talk about Brooke Devart a lot when I talk about black girl Luxury. Because. And I said this to the girl doing my makeup this morning. I said, for some reason, Brooke is completely in touch with her demographic. And I think it's because Luxury is kind of her brand. So Brooke can get on her fucking phone with her family and board the Delta One Lounge, you know, chairs and have their private security and talk about, oh, I think I might get these Marshalla. I don't know what about the. Like. And we love it and we're accepting of it. There are certain people, for some reason it doesn't hit for us. And I wonder how we figure out that line and when we start to hate. Because I'm never gonna hate how rich she gets for some reason. But it was annoying to watch B. Simone say that thing. Why is it this is a black girl that came up. We know she's worked hard. She's a comic. We see you getting it out the mud. I don't think B. Simone gives a it was handed to me vibe. Neither does Brooke, by the way. But I'm just saying, like, what is it? And when do we learn who can do it and who can't? Because I didn't feel bad for B. Simone. I was really sitting there like, patrice hurts.
Wheezy
I mean, I think it's demographic. And like I said, I think it's also the timing. It's the time that we are in. There's a lot of people going through it. Like, I've been having the conversation with my friends, and I'm like, damn, this year is hitting a lot different than the past couple years for so many of my friends, for so many of my peers. And I'm like, I was just having a talk with a good friend of mine, and savings depleted and trying to come back to finding a new passion. And I said, listen. Like, almost in tears. And I said, listen, as long as I got it, you got it. Don't ever think you can't cover rent. And luckily, she ain't fucking nobody right now. Cause otherwise, I would have been like, bitch, you better go ask that nigga. But I literally looked at her. Cause I love her daughter. I love her. And I'm just like, listen, as long as I'm your friend, you got it, right? Don't ever think you don't. But it's because she's never, like. She's not someone that's ever constantly asked. I've seen her, like, you know, she's just in an era. We all have these ebbs and flows with life, but, boy, do I see life is life right now for so many people. So, like I said, I think that clip didn't hit right now because of the time that we are in. Like, is real life. Helping people is real, just as real.
Mandy B.
I hope. Listen, y' all got that $26? I hope.
Wheezy
I hope I get it in that book.
Mandy B.
I'm sorry.
Wheezy
Listen. And I don't know. I don't know. It might be up to 29. It be going on sale. It go between 29 and 26.
Mandy B.
I don't know how that happens.
Wheezy
Like, it depends where they get it from. Okay, like, Amazon has different prices. Barnes and Nobles, all the things. All right, y', all, I've been seeing the comments, so we're going to get a little horrible. Okay. With the sex history this week. So I decided to do a sex history dive into pet play and animal role play, because why the fuck not? So we're going to start off with the ancient roots of spirits and shapeshifters. Y', all. This is prehistoric to early civilizations. And so we really only get to see it through, like, you know, the shit, the hieroglyphics and the writings and shit like that. So ancient text, totemism, and tribal identity. So many indigenous cultures believed in animal spirits as clan, ancestors, or protectors. So think wolves, bears, or ravens, symbolizing traits like strength, cunning, or transformation. So having animals be at this, like, godly realm is where the animal play in the bedroom kind of took place way back.
Mandy B.
Was it a pup?
Wheezy
So I have you. You familiar with shamans or whatever that is. So shaman rituals. Shamanic rituals donned wear animal masks and furs to become the animal invoking its power or guiding spirits during trance states. So while you would be in this euphoric state, this is where back in the day, they was putting on animal masks and furs. Mind you, I feel like we have.
Mandy B.
Seen this in, like, Eyes Wide Shut, like, just showing. And it looks a little demonic, but it's kind of, like, cool, because Illuminati ish.
Wheezy
I think. I think it depends how you like to me. I ain't gonna hold you. Well, I don't know. Cause we be referring to niggas as goats now.
Mandy B.
Like, you know how they're like goats.
Wheezy
That's where you're going with it. So I'm thinking of, like, goats be looking demonic. But also we call Kobe a goat. So imagine you just fucking a goat. Cause you imagining fucking, like a nigga, like Lebron or Kobe. You know what I mean?
Mandy B.
Like, I don't.
Wheezy
Niggas be like, they goats. It's a whole emoji. Okay, so, nigga, maybe you want to fuck a goat because your nigga not a goat. So turn that nigga to a goat. I'm just saying. All right, Symbolism. Animals weren't just beasts. Again, going back to the demonic things, they were cosmic inter. Intermediaries. Sorry, I was like, how do I say this word? Intermediaries? And channeling them meant spiritual transformation. So pretty much pet plays started with the primal roots that took place from how our ancestors viewed animals, period.
Mandy B.
Just think about how expensive animals Are in a dowry.
Wheezy
Like. Well, you talked about a dowry. No, no, animals are expensive.
Mandy B.
It's just the way that, like, they honor animals. And then you just be like, hey, I can't buy you a cow.
Wheezy
But first off, let me tell you. And I don't how much they cost. In Oklahoma City, I was out there for Juneteenth, bitch. Niggas was out there riding horses like go karts. Like, it was just niggas. Like, not. Not even the hat. They had no shirts. It was just black boys riding on sneakers.
Mandy B.
It was a Juneteenth game.
Wheezy
No, no, no, no. Apparently, there's like, a black cowboy thing, but they don't dress like cowboys. It's like niggas on horses, like, they straight had, like, some baggy jeans, no shirt, and they was just out there riding a horse. Like, not with a saddle or anything. Bareback horses. And so I'm asking. I said, how these niggas just got all these horses? And they was like, they're cowboys. Like, people got horses out here. I was like, in Oklahoma City, mind you, like teenagers to, like, they look like young boys, but was just out there on they gallivanting. On they horses.
Mandy B.
Not gallivanting.
Wheezy
Gallivanting. So I don't know, maybe there's a discount on horses in, like, the middle that part of the world. In that part of the country. I said I thought horses was expensive. And we just out here with horses just riding through the festival. I was shocked. I was shocked.
Mandy B.
Horses make me a little horny. You ever been on one?
Wheezy
Horses making you horny? It's crazy. You know what's crazy? I actually don't. My hips don't really open that wide. I be looking at them like, this ain't the hair we be buying. I be looking at they hair like, can't go on. I be looking at. Oh, so that's what it is. It definitely wasn't the Milky Way, girl. That's not even worse here. Okay, so we gonna get into myth and metamorphosis. So this is where it kind of started getting really mo kinky. So we're talking really mo kinky. We taking it to ancient Egypt, Greece, and India. So gods in animal form. So Anubis was a jackal, Bastet was a cat, and Pan was a goat. So divine beings with beastly traits weren't rare. So pretty much they turned it into fucking gods. You know how you like. Oh, my God. Fuck me. This is where it started. But they were dressing up as animals, so Omakrishna. So there's also myths of transformation. So Zeus became a swan. And Hindu myths feature beings like Hanuman, who was a monkey God. Erotic symbolism is animal features often represent raw instincts. So sex, chaos, power. So including those elements into the bedroom, like, say you got, say, baby girl, okay, her drinking that milk out of the thing. And either being a cat or a dog, there's submission and loyalty as what we normally relate to animals in that way. So now you're bringing in those elements that you have when you think of a dog being loyal or a dog, you know, kind of listening when you say sit. Those elements are what brings about the arousal while you in the bedroom. Like, I think that's sexy. I mean, it's all at the end of the day.
Mandy B.
One's a top, one's a bottom.
Wheezy
Now let's get into the Victorian era to the mid-1900s, which we around. So Freud, fetish and furry hints. Okay. So psychoanalysis and libido. Freud and Jung explored animal dreams as symbols of raw desire or repressed urges. Now, there was a rise in fetishism in the Victorian kink culture that included pony girls, corsetry and power dynamics.
Mandy B.
What's a pony girl?
Wheezy
I don't know that one we could look up. What a pony girl.
Mandy B.
There's a DJ named horse girl. Y' all know who that is?
Wheezy
No, but does she look like she be dressed like a horse?
Mandy B.
Yeah, I don't like it.
Wheezy
Cause you don't think horses are sexy. Cause she doesn't like cat. Like, I ain't had no problem with doja cat coming out here. Like, cat girl.
Mandy B.
She like, really. And she's really popping too, I think. Who is it? Oh, yeah, that's her. I think I saw Kim Kardashian posting her. Or north.
Andy B.
Oh, a pony girl is a woman, usually submissive, who takes the role of a pony.
Mandy B.
Oh, make a pony sound.
Wheezy
Now. Your turn, bitch. You ain't gonna make us just sound like one.
Andy B.
I can't do one, do one.
Wheezy
Giddy up. Oh, my goodness.
Mandy B.
This ain't trash.
Wheezy
All right, now we gonna get to 1970s to today, where we have talked about it for the last few years. Do not know how eight years in, we have yet to have a goddamn furry on the show.
Mandy B.
But if you are a furry opportunity. But they just be so introverted and weird.
Wheezy
I don't. I mean, yeah, we can't find a goddamn furry.
Mandy B.
Your kink isn't weird. Furry people. You're just weird.
Wheezy
Like, why is it weird?
Mandy B.
It gives a little tism in the messages sometimes. I Talked to two or three of them during AVM weekend. What the hell's going on?
Wheezy
I don't. Well, maybe that's why they're in these costumes, bro.
Mandy B.
One girl, literally, I booked her. Let's just say it was like 12 to 2 on a Sunday in Vegas. She never responds. I send an address, so I'm like, good to go. Nothing. We get a new guest because the Bitch doesn't reply. Ms. Furry lady shows up, no replies to me at 11:45. Like, Hey, 20 minutes away. I said there was no conversation. I asked you for stuff. She wrote back and said, you told me where to be, though.
Wheezy
What, bitch? Do you talk to people?
Mandy B.
Do you talk or do you just.
Wheezy
Oh, she ain't confirmed.
Mandy B.
Damn.
Wheezy
Yeah, that's just off.
Mandy B.
And then another one was like, well, what would I talk about outside of the furry girl?
Wheezy
So that's the thing. Like, furries have now, like, so in modern day bdsm, community is right. So pet play became a recognized kink. So especially in puppy, kitten and pony play, like we talked, it combines obedience, care, power, exchange, and identity. But the furry fandom is the overlap, and it's focused more on identity and compute and community, but shares anthropomorphic and constant role play. So I think that's the difference. There's a way you could look at them.
Andy B.
She did that. She did it. She tried.
Wheezy
Did I not do that? I did that, right?
Mandy B.
No, but the way that he's not playing right now.
Andy B.
I agree.
Wheezy
What? But she was happy that I got that word.
Mandy B.
Huh? What's going on?
Wheezy
Anthropomorchic. Whatever. See, I ain't say it that time. It was too fast. But I said it when I was reading it. By the way, there's an online boom with forums, Tumblr, I don't know if that's still out, but. And TikTok, where they brought visibility. So what's crazy is. And it's why y' all gotta watch. When your kids is on the TikTok, they're like, there's a community where they dress up the same way, like the anime girls, like, where that's actually a sexual thing, where some people might scroll by it and be like, oh, she's dressed up like Sailor Moon. There's a nigga on another side of a screen jacking off to Sailor Moon. So there's the same thing happening right now on the TikTok, where the people are dressing up as animals and people are being aroused at the furries online. Furry. And you will see a whole bunch of People dressing up as these animals where you might think maybe they're just. They like Barney and.
Mandy B.
What are you talking about?
Wheezy
What furries being a thing online. Like the same way we talked about the sploshing. Right.
Mandy B.
The people. So kids are dressing up.
Wheezy
Not kids are dressing up. Adults are dressing up. Oh, because you said the same way adults dress up as anime and these things. Yeah, that's the cosplaying. The anime character.
Mandy B.
Your kids on TikTok.
Wheezy
Because. Because a lot of things that people don't understand have a sexual element to. It does.
Andy B.
Yes.
Mandy B.
Oh, is it kind of like the girl that goes, yum, ice cream that.
Wheezy
Became a thing or the splashing of the cakes?
Andy B.
Yes.
Wheezy
The making a mess we talked about.
Andy B.
Necessarily mean there's a sexual affiliation to it.
Wheezy
But.
Andy B.
But for example, there are animes that are very kid centric. Heisel centric. And I understand how that could be a little weird. You should be cautious of having your children post up cosplay as these characters because there might be creeps on the other side.
Wheezy
On the other side checking that thing.
Mandy B.
Comic Con and video game people. And my confusion. Me so serious. Serious thing. I would like to know.
Wheezy
Yes.
Mandy B.
When you go to Comic Con and you put that.
Wheezy
We were just in Atlanta around the Peachcon.
Andy B.
Dreamcon.
Wheezy
Dreamcon.
Mandy B.
When you put the outfit on.
Andy B.
You're not about to come for cosplayers right now.
Wheezy
Yes, she is. I'm gonna let her go. I'm gonna let her go.
Mandy B.
I just want to know. You put the costume on.
Andy B.
Yeah.
Mandy B.
Batman girl. Batgirl, whatever.
Wheezy
Not Batman.
Mandy B.
You're telling me.
Andy B.
Yes.
Mandy B.
This is just for fun and you don't want to. How is it possible.
Wheezy
Oh, I didn't know we were going this way.
Mandy B.
That there is no connection to the. To the people that are dressing up at Comic Con and sexuality? How is it possible that we are all in this room because we love comic books that much at 40?
Andy B.
Yeah.
Mandy B.
You're telling me you don't want to fuck. So now we're in a booth together and we're just going back and forth talking about Pokemon and you dressed up in a whole fucking latex and this isn't sex.
Wheezy
You ready?
Andy B.
Wait, what?
Wheezy
Let me throw you the fucking analogy right now because you sound crazy. You're telling me you didn't go to the Beyonce tour in your goddamn cowgirl hat and your chaps and you were talking about Beyonce and the records you like and you weren't thinking about sex while you dressed up and talked to a whole bunch of people with the same likes as you. Oh, oh. I got another one for you, bitch. That's a theme. What's a theme?
Mandy B.
Not a costume.
Wheezy
No, no, no, no, no, no. It's a theme.
Andy B.
But dressing up anime, bro.
Wheezy
That is a theme. That is the thief. Go ahead. There we go. There we go. You don't dress up for Halloween, period. She said, though, at the end of the night she wants.
Mandy B.
That's not a good analogy.
Wheezy
No, it is, it is. And then, you know, you dress up to. Every Halloween. Every Halloween you dress as a.
Mandy B.
A little bit, but it's.
Wheezy
I'm.
Mandy B.
You guys.
Wheezy
But you don't dress up too. Fuck.
Mandy B.
Hold on. So you telling me you grown ass Nicaraguan. Yes. You take your little Latino ass and put on a costume and none of it?
Andy B.
I cosplay myself, but I have friends who cosplay. Yeah, people like to cosplay.
Mandy B.
You have friends who cosplay?
Wheezy
Absolutely. I do too.
Andy B.
And that's the thing.
Wheezy
I'm not gonna lie. I've been. I've been hanging with more of the nerds and it's crazy because I'm on record talking about gamers and shit.
Mandy B.
Wait, a real person?
Wheezy
That's not a real person that just really likes. Like how Meg thee stallion. Like Meg thee stallion be dressing up in anime characters.
Andy B.
Don't be judging Meg thee stallion.
Mandy B.
No, it's G chan. I thought that's supposed. Supposed to be sexy.
Andy B.
It is.
Wheezy
I mean, it's sexy, but she's also a fan.
Mandy B.
It's sex, right?
Wheezy
What she's doing is not sex. She's a fan of anime. So you don't believe that any grown person should dress up as an anime or comic book character?
Mandy B.
I want them to do it.
Wheezy
You want them to do it, but you're like, why are you doing it without.
Mandy B.
Why are we at the Javits center? And why.
Wheezy
It's a convention.
Mandy B.
Why are we not at ccr? Nsfw? You're telling me you did this for Javits and you walked out on the broad day you never got your dick hard?
Andy B.
Not everybody's horny like that.
Wheezy
In the book I came out of the womb horny.
Mandy B.
I want to say I'm not coming for them. I'm just. It's not that.
Wheezy
Because not everyone thinks about sex. Maybe this is their hobby.
Mandy B.
Just really fandom.
Wheezy
Like when you go. When you go to listen to Amapiano, does your pussy have to be leaking because that's what you enjoy to go do?
Mandy B.
If I start twerking, I was about.
Andy B.
I was going to say probably.
Wheezy
Okay, maybe that was a bad thing.
Mandy B.
Yeah. Because if it's like the sexual energy of. But no, I'm just really thinking to myself, okay, you get up, you're putting on this disguise.
Wheezy
It's mysterious.
Mandy B.
Maybe you have a mask on. Then you look at someone else. Then you're looking at someone else.
Wheezy
What if they look like Pikachu? What if they. In a big old round, there'd be.
Andy B.
Some sexy Pikachu, though.
Wheezy
Okay, no, no, no. I'm talking. Okay.
Mandy B.
It's like there's also normal latex. Why are men wearing one latex onesie fucking things where you.
Andy B.
Maybe the theme of the anime.
Mandy B.
So now you're telling me you got to go pee. Pee.
Wheezy
And if they got latex costume is expensive, that mean they got a little point.
Mandy B.
So you're just doing this to wait in line to talk or see a.
Andy B.
Thing and embrace the culture.
Wheezy
Enjoy the culture.
Mandy B.
And then what do you do after you don't or These people don't have their virgins.
Wheezy
No, they'd be not their virgins.
Andy B.
Oh, I'm very certain that all these cosplay people.
Mandy B.
What about your friends? Are they.
Wheezy
They'd be.
Andy B.
Not each other. But they be.
Mandy B.
Do they?
Andy B.
Other women and men. Yes.
Wheezy
Who also wear costumes.
Andy B.
I'm saying there's women and men who cosplay.
Wheezy
Right.
Andy B.
It's not just men.
Mandy B.
No, no, no, no. Of course. I'm saying, do they fuck other people that are also in there?
Wheezy
Probably.
Andy B.
Yeah.
Mandy B.
And they have sexuality.
Wheezy
They have common. They have hobbies in common.
Mandy B.
That it is. You can find your bitch at the Pikachu tent.
Andy B.
But that's my point.
Wheezy
Right.
Andy B.
It's like if you like Pokemon and I like Pokemon.
Mandy B.
So let me Pokemon.
Andy B.
Oh, my God.
Wheezy
Let me Pokemon. Oh, God.
Mandy B.
Hey.
Wheezy
Post. Tomatoes. Tomatoes. Tomato.

Andy B.
Excuse me.
Wheezy

Andy B.
Are you asking me that again?
Wheezy
You know what's crazy?
Mandy B.

Let's see if they could be sexy. All deck pool. Could absolutely be sexual.
Andy B.
Is low key.
Wheezy
That's a sexy. Yeah, that's. That's the bdsm.
Mandy B.
I don't know if these people are ugly or it's just not good.
Andy B.
I could name the characters, because this.
Mandy B.
Okay. Woody and Buzz Lightyear.
Andy B.
That makes sense. The girl, Woody and Buzz Lightyear.
Mandy B.
What's that bad? The white girl at the top, Harley Quinn. That's kind of sexy.
Andy B.
Between Woody and Buzz Lightyear.
Wheezy
Yes. Woody is too Woody. The way he was moving like this. He had some sugar in his tank.
Andy B.
He has a snake in his boot.
Wheezy
Well, Woody was definitely a bottom Catwoman.
Mandy B.
That's sexy.
Wheezy
Yes.
Mandy B.
Okay, Then there's Zelda, who's in her. Got her kitties out. In the stomach out. These bitches look like hoes.
Wheezy
Not these look like hoes. You know why, too? Sorry. They were drawn by men. Sorry.
Andy B.
They were drawn by men.
Wheezy
They were drawn by men.
Andy B.
First of all, the original characters don't look super hypersexualized, but, yes, today they do. That's not true a lot. They're not. Zelda is not hypersexual.
Wheezy
No. Zelda was a. Had elf ears.
Andy B.
Yeah.
Wheezy
Zelda was just trying to save the cast.
Mandy B.
Oh, sorry.
Andy B.
But I'm sure you probably see the very, like, sexualized.
Mandy B.
I do.
Andy B.
Yeah.
Mandy B.
Speaking of elf ears, do you know, I realized, okay, I was thinking about it when I looked at you today during the breakfast. I was like, is that Mandy's real ear?
Wheezy
Yes, it's my real ear. I have a spock here.
Mandy B.
Hold on.
Wheezy
I do.
Mandy B.
Do you know that that's, like, the fun.
Wheezy
I do. I have a Spock here. It used to be more prevalent. It's just one ear.
Andy B.
Turn around.
Wheezy
It used to be more prevalent when I was younger. This one is round. This one is spot.
Mandy B.
It was so distracting.
Wheezy
You know why? Because I'm a mythical creature.
Mandy B.
Let me see it.
Andy B.
You're kind of a mythical creature, bro.
Mandy B.
It's so crazy.
Wheezy
That's what was looking at my ear at the breakfast.
Mandy B.
You were sitting to her, but I looked at you, and I'm like, what the.

Wheezy
Uh huh.
Mandy B.
Jeeves the white guy I used to fuck. This is obviously a white story, so.
Wheezy
Maybe my Spock here is because I'm half white.
Mandy B.
He used to be in the.
Wheezy
That's why only one of them is Spock. The other one is my nigga ear. Oh, my God, it is around. This look like my daddy ear. I don't know what this is.
Mandy B.
Pull up a picture of Tammy.

Mandy B.
But I don't know how noticed it. Man, you got short hair for how many years now?
Wheezy
Yeah, like five years maybe.

Decisions, Decisions - EP. 432: Financing Your Friends, Freaky Cosplay, & Furries
Release Date: August 4, 2025
Welcome to "Decisions, Decisions", the candid podcast hosted by Mandii B. and WeezyWTF from The Black Effect and iHeartPodcasts. In Episode 432, titled "Financing Your Friends, Freaky Cosplay, & Furries", Mandii and Weezy delve into the complexities of financial dynamics within friendships, explore the nuances of modern dating in Atlanta, and take a deep dive into the world of pet play and furries. Here's a comprehensive summary capturing all the key discussions, insights, and conclusions from the episode.
Mandii and Weezy kick off the episode by addressing the delicate topic of financial assistance among friends. They share personal anecdotes and reflect on societal expectations surrounding financial support.
Weezy shares a personal story about expecting repayment from a friend who initially asked for money under transactional pretenses. He humorously remarks, "He didn't get any pussy. He didn't get any head. He sent me $10,000. Waste of my time." (34:58)
Mandii emphasizes the importance of discerning between genuine need and entitlement. She discusses a situation where a friend asked for substantial financial help, questioning whether such requests are fair or indicative of poor money management.
"If someone asked for $40, they really need it... You gotta have money to order your first drink... That’s just a tip." (32:44)
Weezy elaborates on the complexities, stating:
"When you are seeking partnership, you need to seek people that seem like good partners... It’s how you are successful." (10:04)
The hosts collectively underscore the necessity of setting boundaries and avoiding enabling financially irresponsible behaviors in friendships. They argue that "entitlement is insane" and advocate for friends to manage their finances independently without relying excessively on others.
Transitioning from financial dynamics, Mandii and Weezy explore the Atlanta dating scene, highlighting the prevalence of transactional relationships and the impact of cultural norms.
Mandii recounts attending a Juneteenth concert featuring Beyoncé and the overwhelming presence of men exhibiting affluent behaviors, such as wearing American flag gear. She notes the exhaustion of such high-energy events and the challenges in maintaining genuine connections.
"We turned on the TV, and the only thing they had was Donald Trump and ping pong... We're walking up to Beyoncé." (06:26)
Weezy discusses the perception among black men in Atlanta, particularly how light-skinned women are often not approached by men, leading to feelings of exclusion and frustration.
"He said, you light-skinned... It's Atlanta." (24:52)
The conversation delves into the transactional nature of dating in big cities, where relationships often start with material expectations rather than organic connections. Weezy asserts:
"If you go out scouting for the next dude that's going to be able to pay your rent... you're going to end up the same." (29:54)
Mandii and Weezy emphasize the importance of seeking meaningful partnerships based on mutual interests and compatibility rather than financial gain, warning against the pitfalls of transactional dating which often leads to unfulfilling relationships.
In the latter part of the episode, Mandii and Weezy shift gears to discuss pet play, animal roleplay, and the furry fandom, tracing their historical roots and examining their place in modern sexuality.
Weezy provides a comprehensive overview of pet play, connecting it to ancient practices and mythologies. He explains:
"Pet plays started with the primal roots that took place from how our ancestors viewed animals." (63:45)
The hosts delve into the symbolism of animals in various cultures, citing examples like Anubis, Bastet, and Pan, who embody both divine and beastly traits. They discuss how these symbols have influenced modern pet play and furry communities.
Mandii questions the sexual connotations often associated with cosplay and furries, leading to a lively debate about the distinction between fandom and sexual expression.
"Do they fuck other people that are also in there?" (73:50)
Weezy defends the furry community by highlighting the diversity within cosplay and emphasizing that not all participants are motivated by sexuality. He remarks:
"Pet play became a recognized kink... the furry fandom is focused more on identity and community." (65:23)
The conversation touches on the challenges of demystifying these communities and addressing misconceptions, with Mandii urging listeners to understand the context behind costumes and roleplay.
Towards the end, the hosts reflect on their own experiences with cosplay and furries, acknowledging the blend of hobby and sexual elements that coexist within these practices.
Interspersed with their main topics, Mandii and Weezy address the controversy surrounding B. Simone, a public figure who went viral for expressing resentment towards others receiving financial help.
Mandii critiques B. Simone's viral clips, emphasizing the challenges of maintaining authenticity and understanding in the face of public scrutiny.
"I saw you give someone else a check, but you couldn't help me." (50:53)
Weezy discusses the broader implications of such incidents on the perception of financial assistance within communities, highlighting how viral moments can misrepresent genuine struggles.
"It reminds me of Jay Z when he said he stopped going to family functions because people kept asking him for money." (49:18)
The hosts advocate for a more empathetic and understanding approach to financial struggles, urging listeners to support friends without fostering dependency or entitlement.
Throughout the episode, Mandii and Weezy weave a consistent theme of empowering listeners to "unlearn the outdated narratives" dictated by traditional norms. They encourage embracing authentic connections and redefining relationships beyond societal expectations.
Weezy asserts the importance of "unlearning" ingrained societal and familial expectations to foster healthier sexual and relationship dynamics.
"You got to do a lot of unlearning... listen to this show, they get to see that there's a lot of possibilities when it comes to how you can exist in love." (10:04)
Mandii echoes this sentiment, emphasizing self-awareness and the importance of seeking meaningful, non-transactional relationships.
"We gotta get these other niggas a chance, dog. Y' all gotta stop looking at Instagram." (33:09)
The hosts conclude by reinforcing the value of empowering oneself and one’s community through honest dialogue, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering genuine connections.
