there was things that Gila said on her wedding day that she did to manifest the relationship. And there was things that I did that I really want to share. And I know B. Simone talked about that too. Gila talked about how she read all about love a lot and made a list of the things she wants in a partner. Not only did I do that, I even said it on horrible. What I wanted him to look like, the music, how he would travel.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
You did.
Mandy B.
And all of that happened. I used to listen to. I don't have the exact one a YouTube of a frequency of manifesting a partner before I was going to sleep. It was a love frequency.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Little motherfucking witch. That is some witchy ass shit you listen to a frequency of manifestations of a man.
Mandy B.
Not really a man, but love. Okay, so which but when I when he came into my life it wasn't an active pursuit in the Brianda way. I know Brian does got her thing she's doing right now. Right. It was just more of me changing my frame of thinking because I was really negative. Really really bad. I'm not going to have this. I'm not going to have this. I'm not going to have this. Also update what made me think about that too. I did that partnership with the linguistic braces inside took them off. I'm about to get regular braces and I literally they're eight grand. I was damn near crying in the office yesterday. I was like I could what if I don't finish this? What if I can't finish this? What if I can't finish this? And the lady told me the orthodontist that she googled me and she was like I saw all those nice Things you have, ain't no way that your thinking hasn't been positive. You need to start thinking of the things you want for your health.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Okay?
Mandy B.
Same way. She's like, what about weight? Do you do this to yourself when you want to lose weight or when you want to stop drinking or when you want to eat healthier? Do you say, I'm not going to be able to keep that up? And I was like, oh, my God. I do like, every time. I'm like, oh, this diet ain't gonna last or whatever. She's like, all of how you talk to yourself is dictating this, right? Okay. So you can do it for money and business. You can do it for your teeth. Like, you're gonna fucking last. Like, don't think that you're not gonna do it. You paying this money, you are going to finish. See the finish line. And I really am like, dictating all back to love. Because I just have been meeting people that are happier in their situations, and I think all of them have that attitude. Anyone I know right now that's happy in love is happy about their. Was happy about their life, their circumstances, being alone. I want to say that a hundred times, being happy alone. And I don't mean being happy that you're single. I mean being happy when you're alone.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
That's all I've been talking about, bro.
Mandy B.
It's a real thing.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I'm glad. I'm just to a point where like, even, like the fun I've been having with my roster, my partners, my lovers, knowing last year I was crying or being triggered by even being touched by men, like, the trauma from getting over that last relationship. I'm in such a weird place right now. And I just wrote, I just actually made a post on it on Instagram and so many girls were like, girl, I'm in the same place. I want to read the three things that my mind went through where I'm at right now with, with love. Especially hearing you talk about manifesting love.
Mandy B.
Okay?
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I said, welcome to the slideshow of my current hypocritical takes you may hear on current or upcoming episodes. Number one, I'm single only because I find it really hard to even like someone. But also, I want a serious relationship. But I'm also having a lot of fun being single. Two, I really like my alone time. So while I'd love a boyfriend who is close because I want to cuddle during my free time, I also want someone long distance so I don't have to have them around all the time number three roster is currently full of people that I don't see myself being in a relationship with, although I'm seeking a serious relationship. However, since my roster is full, I'm not interested in dating or getting to meet anyone new. And I'm.
Mandy B.
Serena is like, a crazy girl.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
No shit. So, yes, a serious relationship would be nice. I know. Like, we've even been talking, like, Triple D. That's gonna be his nickname, y'.
Redfin Advertiser
All.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
So Triple D, who was from my past, who I really liked, but he had a person at the time. He got single, then I got in my relationship, then he disappeared off the face of the earth. Just found him immediately, bitch. The day we found him, he said, come tomorrow. Came two days later because I already had someone planned. So I went two days later and literally stayed with him for two days. And I was like, this is. We're like. We're just there. And immediately, even though I'm in my mind, like, ooh, I like this.
Mandy B.
Nice.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I'm like, primary. I'm immediately like, I would love for this to be maybe my primary, but
Mandy B.
I don't want primary. Mandy, no, no, no. Serious relationship talk. You know how every time you click on TikTok and it's like a bitch on there and she's like, your man is going to be intentional. He is going to come to you and say, I want. You're going to be this. He is going to let you know where you stand. He's going to, da, da, da, da. Let me tell you something. This is 2024. This is a new era of dating. Niggas just don't know until they fucking start to know.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I mean, so everybody.
Mandy B.
But no, no, no.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I'll be honest, though. That's what I'm not into right now. Like, to me, if I am, which is why I'm looking at everyone that I'm into. No, I'm not into waiting for someone to tell me I'm theirs or their part.
Mandy B.
I'm not talking about waiting, but let me just. Yeah, clarify.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Clarify that.
Mandy B.
Because when I say niggas don't know until they know, I also mean women, too. We gotta kind of go through these motions. For example, before you fuck somebody. It's this weird representative like, we've been
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
talking about, right with me.
Mandy B.
Well, I believe that most people, it is on the first few dates.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I think for most people, yes, I
Mandy B.
think men are nicer, more consistent in communication and talking. I literally talk about this in the book. I said, before the pussy game, everything is all good. Right. And then once they get the pussy, things start to, like, mellow out. Men are so focused on getting pussy, and the whole time we're so focused on making sure they're worth the pussy. I think it takes a little bit of time to figure out if someone's a fit. And I think that we put so much pressure on what that time looks like. For example, we are not dating around because we are so focused. We as a women are not dating around because we're so focused on making sure that guy is good, that guy's dating around and kind of still learning how to see what women, what woman out of those women are someone that's more special. You are saying you don't like that. That seems like a waiting game. But in reality, we all do that. I realized I was going out in most relationships I was in, I was happy with the person I was dating. But every time I went out, I kind of looked for something better. I don't know why I was always back there. I probably did that with everyone but scissors. And right now, everyone, even when obey
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I would look at go out and be like.
Mandy B.
And I kind of just compare them to my partner. And I really don't know why, but my brain was always looking. I just don't think that intentionality is exactly black and white. I think there's a point when intentionality starts. I think we all are dating. We're all on these apps. There's a lot of people. This is not fucking 1964 when you went out with one person and even if they were just okay, you pushed it forward. I think we've got to kind of like, like, really wait and see if this is a fit first. And there's so many rules that we're putting on top of these people and dropping them if they don't fit.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
So that's the thing, and that's where maybe I don't know where my tribe is of women that feel the way I do. I'm me and my friends do not actually operate that way. So I like all of dating around. No, no, no. You said women. We focus and we allow men to do that. No, like, my friends bitch every time we get on the phone. We like, bitch, I can't keep up. What's his name? Dallas.
Mandy B.
That's what I'm telling you. That's what my friends and I do. I do not think that's the average woman.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I think the average dating one. No. You just got a little taste of the horrible decisions, Patreon. But why stop there Tap in.

Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)

Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Yep. No, that's why. Okay. Capacity. I was one of the ones that got cut off.
Mandy B.
Mandy, you are absolutely welcome. That's not true.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)

Mandy B.
Only reason I said is Cause I was like. Mandy was like, okay, I know we can't record on your birthday, bitch, but what about the day after? And I was like, fuck. Because all my friends is flying in and it's their last day. So I know Benny was like, bitch, bitch.

Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)

Mandy B.
Okay, anyway, hold on.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Go back. You invited all the you ate to.
Mandy B.
No, I invited one girl.
Redfin Advertiser
The last.
Mandy B.
I ate her. The one. The girl that I said was thick, she was sexy, and I like her. And she was like, y' all don't call me enough. She's invited intentionally now. Let's just say the name is Alexa.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
By the way on Patreon. Add that in the notes. We need the update on that bitch cuz I don't think any of us know she was still around. We need to update on how she around birthday.
Mandy B.
I don't know what to say.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Okay.
Mandy B.
Okay, so let me give y' all a little bit of tea before we get to our YGD. So all I know is I'm doing 35th birthday party in my house. I thought my house could fit about 50 people. My mom says 40, my homegirl says 65. My say 50. But anyway, so 70 RSVP'd, but I don't think they're all gonna come. So whatever. It is a Tuesday in la, so maybe everybody will show up. But anyway, basically invited her. Great. When you go through Partyful and you click the names.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Yes.
Mandy B.
It doesn't say how the name is saved in your phone. So I just thought this particular. Let's just say Alexa was the Alexa that I fucked. It's not or no? No, it's the opposite. Is it Alexa from work? But it's an Alexa I fucked up text. Okay, this girl that I literally. Oh, I'll read you the text. Oh God. This is how I know I up. Hold on, let me type in her name. Oh, hey, girly. It's been a long while since we've talked, but I felt so excited to see your message pop up in. As far as invites go, I cannot wait to see you. And ex said boyfriend name here. Really looking forward. Also, I saw mom's cooking is on the invite. Can't believe we haven't talked in six months. And I get to meet moms. Lmao. Hyped as fuck. First of all, bitch, I didn't even know I invited you. I thought I was inviting Alexa from work. I invited Alexa from field and now I'm stuck.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
You could always just give her the capacity excuse as well.
Mandy B.
I'm not gonna do that. Even though that's a real thing, I'm not gonna do it because now it's like, damn, bitch, I ain't hit you back.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Well, just hope she doesn't come.
Mandy B.
She definitely coming. You know how I know she doesn't?
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Maybe you could have us.
Mandy B.
I'm a nosy ass.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Maybe you could all the who you previously you could all of them on your birthday.
Mandy B.
No, I'm good. But what I will tell you is the party ends at midnight and so I need a good midnight to 1 o'. Clock. Talking about people that were there. You know, like the debrief when the Party's done. You'd be like, you seen so. And acting a mess. That's what I need. I need everybody to get out so I can talk shit about them when they leave. Unless they got me a good gift, then I won't.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Okay. And then you gonna eat that coochie from two to three.
Mandy B.

How would you feel by the way? The way every other motherfucking letter is y' all bitches dealing with y' all niggas having babies, but it ain't your this is becoming an epidemic bro. Shit, here we go. Hey ladies. Love the podcast and have been a loyal listener for years. Mandy I also love selective ignorance. I was so upset when bleep ended but selective ignorance 1000% makes up for it thing huh? I'm gonna yeah girl, we can bleep that. You know that's a thing of the past. All right, I'm going to try my best to keep this short and she she actually did a good job. So my current boyfriend and I have been together for some time now. When we initially started talking, we clicked immediately and fell head over heels for each other. Imagine my surprise when I found out he was still messing with his ex. Girl, fast forward we semi stop speaking but we end up back with each other. This sounds like more of a situationship than really together, but here we are. This time around I'm confident he is not messing with his ex no more and we never and oh and we even hear that she's moved on.
Mandy B.
Oh that's why he ain't messing with her baby right?
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
His ex was still randomly calling me hacks his socials randomly to do little annoying things between us etc. She refuses to see us happy as she has told other mutuals and and the two of us when we were previously in a love triangle, however, we chose to just ignore her. Fast forward My boyfriend learns that she's pregnant through a friend. We think to ourselves thank God she can finally leave us alone. She goes quiet for some time but randomly called me in the fall and I ignored it. Later on found out she was trying to prove to her current boyfriend that she wasn't talking to my boyfriend anymore.
Mandy B.
Oh Lord baby.

My boyfriend and I wonder why was he even prevalent in their relationship or why didn't she or her boyfriend think sooner that it could be my ex's bitch. Also, you sound real delusional here. I'm not even gonna hold you and I know that you a fan, but girl, girl, girl. As my boyfriend and I put two and two together in various instances between last year and now, we don't understand how it never crossed her mind that the baby could possibly be my boyfriend's. And I feel like this could have been prevented. Oh, like again, why were you pregnant and still worried about us and bothering us or when you found out you were? Logically, any woman would think back to when they got pregnant and she should have thought she was sleeping with two people at the time. Hello. Even more specific times that I won't go into detail on. But again, how did you not consider this? Now my boyfriend and her are not on the same page related to how to move forward and their dynamic is trash and he feels the news was sprung on him, but he is being the most mature about it and it is adding a lot more pressure to him. It sucks seeing how his world was turned upside down and what it's doing to him. Bitch, you sound crazy.
Mandy B.
Yeah, you do.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Along with the hurt that it's caused everyone involved, including myself. I don't know how to feel as this is a crazy ass situation, but also a lot to consider. I feel either way it goes, adoption or not, things may never be the same. I love him a lot, but just the thought of a relationship ending withdrawals is achy. How would you feel? What would you do? Now I will say, girl, this letter reads like you are the side. Girl, this letter reeks that however you feel. Y' all fed fell head over heels. He's never stopped dealing with that ex girlfriend.
Mandy B.
I don't even see at a point where like, I don't.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
This letter being written in sounds like you are throwed on this and you're believing whatever he's telling you. But there's a lot coming to light and you're still in delusion as to where you stay stand in this man's life.
Mandy B.
Even if adoption, I'm like, when she
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
said that, I was like, oh, so because they're not on the same page, adoption might be the thing. But also you think that that's an option only because they're not on the same page. Like, how involved are you with the conversations that they're having around this baby?
Mandy B.
Not enough because she wrote in.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
What's crazy is she ended it with two. How would you feel? As if like to me I'm not gonna lie. There's so many holes in this that it does feel like. Even the fact that you said, my current boyfriend and I have been together for some time now, most people put time frames on that.
Mandy B.
I mean, no, I don't even think she knows when to count it from. But you.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
You. That's what I'm saying.
Mandy B.
Like, how I would feel. Let me tell you how I would feel. I'm pretty sure I'm going to marry my boyfriend, and I would leave him if he got a bitch pregnant. And I am in an open relationship. Let's get that clotter up.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I'm not going to lie to know that you got with your boyfriend and his ex girlfriend was harassing your relationship, and during this time, he was fucking her and got her pregnant. And now you don't know what to do because y' all were both in hopes that she was actually pregnant by her boyfriend, but now it's come to light that she actually could be pregnant by your man. And now y' all are having the conversations on what happens.
Mandy B.
Bitch, let me take these fake glasses up.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Tricky.
Mandy B.
I'm gonna say this to you. Oh. And I'm gonna hold your hand when I say it. There are so many other period. And I know that you're in love with this one, so you can't see past how it feels.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
She can't see past it at all. She in love.
Mandy B.
There are other. I want you to think of, like, there's movies on Netflix. That's how many other there are, bitch. And you know how it just seems like. But I love this one movie, bitch. Go get another nigga. There's another movie you could fall in love with. You just ain't watched it yet.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Yeah, get out, sister. Jesus.
Mandy B.
Because honestly, marriage in love. Because I think that everybody listening to this show for the last few years knows I'm so happy and I'm so in love. Bitch. I have a line.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Yeah, I don't. I don't understand how there's so many. Whether it's lifestyle, whether you got cheated on, whether it's a previous relationship that wasn't all the way cut off before you got there. I don't know how so many women are choosing to stay with a man that is about to create a family with another woman. That's not you. While y' all are supposed to be in a relationship, bitch.
Mandy B.
Cause you ain't finna go over there to. She need help.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I don't give a fuck, mind you. You done already said that she was Harassing you. She was going through his socials. She was blowing you up. Like, you and her don't have a healthy relationship together. So now imagine him having to co parent with this. With this girl, and you're in a relationship with him. Is that really the type of. Is that the ghetto you want to live in? Like,
Mandy B.
I. I don't. You know, when they want to, like, fire someone, they need to sunset. You need to sunset on this relationship. There's a few things here.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
I don't study the relationship.
Mandy B.
It's. Sunsetting means, like, slowly phasing it out of your life. Maybe you feel like it's too hard to leave him. I don't know what's drawing you to him. I'm assuming it's his, but I just. Sorry, I just. I can't. I've never had a dick like this, so it has to be the. And all I'm going to say is I could only think it's because you really can't imagine yourself outside of it. So, like, the only reason we try to improve and stay loyal and do all this shit is because we cannot see ourselves on the other side. It's like a friend that's had a. A really tough breakup. Like, and you and that bitch been trying to break up with that nigga for years. You like, bruh, just go. But it's really too hard for her to do. It's like leaving a bad job.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Whatever it is.
Mandy B.
You just wrote that whole thing for us to both tell you. Bitch, you even sound like the problem.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Then they gave shit.
Mandy B.
And I'm not even saying it. I feel like you ain't shit if
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
you don't leave you. To me, it seems like this was more of a situationship.
Mandy B.
You.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
You were throwed off this nigga and he was dipping and dabbling back in his ex coochie and now she pregnant. And I just feel like I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't feel like he's been honest with you. And you don't feel. I don't. I know he ain't been honest with you.
Mandy B.
Thank you.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
The fact that y' all are even filling in the holes and going over timelines together, this is a hot ass ghetto mess. Whether she chooses to put it up for adoption or not, whatever the case
Mandy B.
may be, she's good at.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
Baby, you want to live it. That's another thing. Yeah. I don't even know why you genuinely think that. Because him and her ain't together. She gonna go through a whole pregnancy and then Just put the baby up for adoption.
Mandy B.
Girl, please. She know him. That's her ex.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
And allegedly, if she currently has another boyfriend in the picture, why would they just not be a family and your. Your boyfriend just take care of it? Financially, this seems like there's still a lot of holes, sis. And I'm not talking about. And it's a hole that he like, there's just a lot of holes in this. And it does seem like you are being left in the dark, you know?
Mandy B.
Not we left in the dark, bitch. You left shit out. Cause you ain't want us to judge, but we judging with what you gave, we judging.
Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)
And you know I love you. Thank you for listening and supporting the pod. But this is ghetto. And this is not the ghetto you want. Sorry, they didn't pictures.
Mandy B.

Co-host (possibly Mandy B.'s friend or fellow podcaster)

is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
Podcast: Decisions, Decisions
Hosts: Mandii B & WeezyWTF
Date: March 11, 2026
Network: The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts
This candid episode centers on a complicated listener dilemma: a woman writes in about her boyfriend's ex who is now pregnant, leaving everyone involved in disarray. Mandii B and WeezyWTF tackle the emotional fallout, discuss boundaries in non-traditional relationships, and offer their often-humorous, always real takes on what to do when you find yourself "the other woman"—whether you realize it or not. Along the way, they make time for hilarious birthday party plans, sex-positive stories, and reflections on love, self-worth, and knowing when to walk away.
Timestamps: 03:16 – 05:47
Mandii shares stories of how she and others have manifested loving relationships, referencing practices like love frequency meditations and positive self-talk:
“I used to listen to… a frequency of manifesting a partner before I was going to sleep. It was a love frequency.” (03:36 – Mandii B.)
The hosts discuss the importance of being happy alone (not just “being single”), with Mandii and the Co-host reflecting on the post-trauma journey of learning to enjoy solitude and healing from toxic relationships.
Notable Quote:
“Anyone I know right now that's happy in love was happy about their life, their circumstances, being alone. I want to say that a hundred times: being happy alone. And I don't mean being happy that you're single. I mean being happy when you're alone.” (05:05 – Mandii B.)
Timestamps: 06:27 – 10:51
WeezyWTF shares a personal Instagram post outlining the contradictions of being single, wanting someone, and not wanting to date new people—all at once.
They debate the myth that men in the modern dating scene are always “intentional” from the start, with Mandii challenging the TikTok narrative:
“This is 2024. This is a new era of dating… Niggas just don't know until they fucking start to know.” (07:48 – Mandii B.)
The hosts discuss the "waiting game" in relationships and dating multiple people—contradicting the stereotype that only men keep a roster.
Notable Quote:
"You are saying you don't like that. That seems like a waiting game. But in reality, we all do that." (08:42 – Mandii B.)
Timestamps: 11:34 – 19:02
Mandii hilariously recounts party planning disasters: inviting ex-flings and party guests by accident, her mom’s demands for a lace-front wig, plus attempts at hiring a kink party organizer to manage logistics.
The segment devolves into jokes about eating sushi off naked bodies, hosting a “midnight debrief” to talk trash post-party, and light-hearted sex talk.
Memorable Moment:
“What is the big deal? And then I want to put one of the salmon rolls right on a nipple so we can eat it quick.” (18:49 – Mandii B.)
Timestamps: 23:52 – 36:55
The Situation: A listener writes in about finding out her boyfriend’s ex is pregnant. Initially, she was glad (“thank God she can finally leave us alone”), only to have doubts arise about paternity. Now, the boyfriend and his ex are not on the same page, there’s talk of adoption, and the listener feels stuck as her boyfriend’s world is “turned upside down.”
Hosts’ Analysis & Advice:
Both Mandii and WeezyWTF are unapologetically critical of the situation, repeatedly suggesting the listener is rationalizing being the side chick.
Mandii B. is blunt:
“Girl, this letter reads like you are the side girl… girl, girl, girl.” (26:13)
“Let me tell you how I would feel. I'm pretty sure I'm going to marry my boyfriend, and I would leave him if he got a bitch pregnant. And I am in an open relationship. Let's get that [clear]…” (29:37)
The hosts emphasize self-worth and the futility of “holding on” to a man who created another family during the relationship:
“There are other [men]. I want you to think of, like, there's movies on Netflix. That's how many other [men] there are, bitch. And you know how it just seems like. But I love this one movie, bitch. Go get another nigga.” (30:47 – Mandii B.)
They discuss the realities of blending families under strain and question why the listener wants to “live in the ghetto” (i.e., stay in such a drama-filled situation).
Memorable Moment:
“I don't know how so many women are choosing to stay with a man that is about to create a family with another woman. That's not you. While y'all are supposed to be in a relationship, bitch.” (31:21 – Co-host)
Practical (if harsh) advice:
“You just wrote that whole thing for us to both tell you. Bitch, you even sound like the problem.” (33:24 – Mandii B.)
Timestamps: 35:55 – 36:55
The hosts joke about Googling listeners to see what they and their boyfriends/dicks look like when “you get dumb.”
They encourage listeners to send in their own dilemmas for roasting—reminding everyone to prioritize self-respect over messy relationships.
Notable Quote:
“These niggas be medium ugly making these [women] go crazy.” (35:51 – Co-host)
On manifesting love:
“All of how you talk to yourself is dictating this, right? …You can do it for money and business. You can do it for your teeth.” (04:51 – Mandii B.)
On relationship ambiguity:
“I really like my alone time. So while I'd love a boyfriend… I also want someone long distance so I don't have to have them around all the time.” (06:27 – Co-host)
On relationship boundaries:
“I would leave him if he got a bitch pregnant. And I am in an open relationship.” (29:37 – Mandii B.)
On being honest about red flags:
“You were throwed off this nigga and he was dipping and dabbling back in his ex coochie and now she pregnant. … I don't feel like he's been honest with you.” (33:42 – Co-host)
Self-worth comes first: Both hosts urge listeners to “sunset” relationships that are full of hidden drama, secrets, or boundary violations—no matter how good the sex is or how much you love the person.
Modern relationships are complex: The episode explores the nuances of contemporary dating, breaking down stereotypes of who keeps a roster, intentionality, and what it means to want companionship but also love being alone.
Humor as healing: Even the messiest dilemmas are met with laughter and candor, suggesting that sometimes the best advice is to step back, see the absurdity, and know you deserve better.
If you’re wondering what to do when your partner’s ex turns up pregnant, or just need a dose of self-empowering real talk—this episode is a must-listen.
