Transcript

[April]

Hello, I'm stressed. Welcome to Everybody's Crazy, a little podcast we decided to create because we definitely believe everybody's crazy. It depends on what kind of crazy you're willing to deal with, but you have a form of crazy, and it's best to discuss it, have conversation about.

[Savannah]

It, laugh about it, cry about it.

[April]

And also figure out how you can deal with it. So the point of the show was really to make a safe space to have conversation about life and life's easy moments, great moments, hard moments, bad moments, and then also how can we be of service to offer a different perspective to what. What that situation may hold? So hopefully you can have some fun with us over the next few weeks. I'm very stressed by the. Actually think this is crazy. It's a little crazy, but this is a little crazy. But we're testing it out and we'll see what the people say.

[Savannah]

Yes. And we also just want to make sure that in light of Everybody's crazy, we understand that mental health and mental health awareness is very real and very important. So this is just us again, sharing perspective, giving a little bit of, you know, a moment to think about what we are saying is crazy. Because sometimes it might not actually be crazy. We just use it as a term and yeah, just share. Share and talk and.

[April]

And live our best life always. Because life is not easy. Actually. Adulthood is ghetto.

[Savannah]

It's the worst hit. It's definitely the worst hit.

[April]

So I feel like we should just discuss that as well.

[Savannah]

I have several crazies a day where at some point it's like, yo, that shit is crazy.

[April]

Right? I actually think a lot of things are crazy. Like, literally maybe eight to ten things a day. I agree with Savannah. And I just think because people just think so differently, and sometimes people think in a silo and they don't have access to any perspectives. They actually think that what they're saying or doing is correct, but it is not. So I think all you can do is either laugh at it and be like, that's crazy. So I would say that it's not a specific moment. It really is, I believe, where the world stands right now. You look at the news, this shit is crazy.

[Savannah]

Crazy.

[April]

You look at social media crazy. You look at what people look like crazy. So I just think is so not real. And so I feel like all of that is so crazy because you should feel good enough to just be yourself, and that just sometimes is not good enough for the social media. So that's kind of our perspective of life in general.

[Savannah]

I feel like some people don't feel like they are good enough.

[April]

Right. Which is crazy to me. Which is crazy because I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks.

[Savannah]

I grew into my self assurance, okay? I'm enough now.

[April]

Yeah.

[Savannah]

But I get it. I get having the mindset of not feeling like enough. But ultimately I've grown, I've done self work and I know that I'm enough and I stand in that. And I feel like that's a journey that you have to take and you have to be self aware enough to know that you thinking that you're not enough is crazy. Right.

[April]

But also a lot of people are often comparing themselves to things that are not real.

[Savannah]

Very true.

[April]

So you're looking at something like, oh well, maybe I could look like that. No, she's not real either. So like let's all be for real and just like aspiring for things that you shouldn't aspire for at 18 that are just like psychotically priced that shouldn't really matter. I think it's just definitely we are living in a world where being your truest self is sometimes okay, but not always okay. Everybody's crazy.

[Savannah]

Hi, what's your name? Where are you from and what's your crazy.

[Ashley]

Hi, my name is Ashley Stiannap, Indiana. And I was wanting to speak about mental health.

[April]

Yes, ask us, tell us what you're crazy. What would you like to talk about?

[Ashley]

I just feel like there's a huge stigma behind mental health and not creating like safe spaces to talk and discuss that just like in younger generations and embracing that life does happen and it's okay not to be okay sometimes. That's why just turning my arm, that's really important to me.

[April]

Yeah, I mean this is April speaking, but I totally agree. That's why we created Everybody's Crazy. I think everybody has some sort of struggle. Nobody's life is perfect. And although Instagram and social media makes it seem that way, I think we really want to promote discussing it also making it a safe space and at times laughing about it. Cause you don't wanna cry. So it's a little double sided situation. And then also like, what is your plan if you're struggling with something? What's your plan? To obviously think about how you can get the right kind of help. What does that look like and where can you find some resources?

[Savannah]

And sometimes it's just as simple as a friend that you trust and just spilling everything out and venting and screaming if you need to, like whatever that looks like.

[Ashley]

No, I agree. I've Been practicing meditation and journaling, and I live in the Midwest, so it's starting to get warmer out for this, you know, nature walk. Just being able to embrace that, you know, we have certain things in place in life for a reason, to utilize that instead of, like, worrying about the negativity, like there is positivity in life, I'm going to focus more on that.

[Savannah]

Yeah, for sure. Sunshine is definitely a cure all for a lot of things. I'm also from the Midwest, from Ohio, and that seasonal depression is real, so I totally understand what you're saying. So definitely getting outside, going for a walk, just kind of taking in sun is sometimes all you need, too.

[April]

And I think in addition to that, it's also thinking about how you deal with the issue at hand. Kind of sit in it for a second, and then how do you move on or move forward? You know, Like, I feel like a lot of times some people can get really stuck and you have control of your destiny ultimately, so you can control the outcome and you can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you deal with it. So I think it's just those conversations with yourself and your friends and lean on the bright side, but know you're not crazy, because everybody's crazy.

[Savannah]

Everybody's crazy.

[April]

Thank you, Ashley.

[Ashley]

No, thank you so much. This was so important and needed, so I love and adore you so much. So just keep doing you and being you, because I acknowledge it and I respect you. So thank you so much.

[Savannah]

Of course.

[April]

Great. Have a great day.

[Savannah]

Hi. What's your name? Where are you from? And what's your crazy.

[Angel]

Yeah, my name is angel, and I'm wondering Moana or Princess and the Frog?

[April]

I love that. Angel. He said Moana or Princess and the Frog.

[Savannah]

I have a daughter. I think I've seen Moana 75,000 times. I think I've seen the Princess and the frog 79, 000 times.

[Angel]

Right.

[Savannah]

But I think just for me, being a real black girl, it's. It's giving Tiana all day long.

[April]

Right, agreed. I don't watch tv, so I ain't seen nothing.

[Savannah]

She ain't no help, but yes.

[Angel]

Yeah, that's about one. All right, you guys have to get back.

[April]

And where. And where are you calling from, Angel?

[Angel]

Michigan. Battle Creek, Michigan.

[April]

Michigan.

[Savannah]

Very nice. Okay, cool. Well, thanks, Aja. That was a cool call. Yes, that was a nice little break call. Thanks. Have a good one.

[April]

All right, bye.

[Savannah]

How does it feel? How does it feel having your first middle part bust down? Oh, my God.

[April]

I'M so stressed. So, guys, I just got my first wig ever. I'm 100 years old and my friend convinced me because she's the queen of an install.

[Savannah]

Love an install.

[April]

Yeah. Pusha T taught me that word today. An install.

[Savannah]

It's a bust down, baby.

[April]

And I feel good. A little stressed, but it does make you feel different.

[Savannah]

Yeah, that's why I letting this blind go, baby.

[April]

It makes you feel a little like. Like refined and thoughtlike.

[Savannah]

Okay, I don't agree. I don't agree with that. But it definitely gives you, like. Because I would never dye my hair blonde. So that's why I wear the installs. Because I'm not dying my hair blonde. And I go. I wear whatever.

[April]

I dye my hair blonde. My issue is I love the way it looks aesthetically.

[Savannah]

But this, you gotta stay on top of it.

[April]

Yeah.

[Savannah]

[April]

Yeah, but this is gonna give me a little stress, but I'll be good for two or three days.

[Savannah]

It'll be okay. Yeah, it'll be good.

[April]

How many of people out there wear a bonnet?

[Savannah]

I love a bonnet.

[April]

I hate a bonnet. Ugh. I think a bonnet is disgusting.

[Savannah]

I love a bonnet when I'm trying to preserve my sexy.

[April]

Why? There's nothing sexy about a bonnet. Okay, we actually need to take a survey on Instagram. How many people are wearing bonnets?

[Savannah]

Everybody.

[April]

No.

[Savannah]

Okay.

[April]

I wear a headscarf.

[Savannah]

[April]

I don't think that's sexy.

[Savannah]

Okay, let's take it to the. Let's take it to the lines. Guys, I don't think it's. Guys, guys, guys, guys. How do we feel about a bonnet? The bonnet?

[April]

Yes.

[Savannah]

Honestly?

[April]

Yes, please.

[Savannah]

I love a bonnet.

[April]

I just don't think it makes me feel sexy. Like you get in the bed and you're making out with your boyfriend and then you have a bonnet on. I'll be like, bitch, go do something.

[Savannah]

With your hair on the. You know, you just go. You pull it off. When your hair falls down, it, like, cascades down. You could, like, flip it back. So a bonnet can, you know, go away real easy.

[April]

Well, my thing is, I don't want to be laid in the bed and fold it around and then. Then this thing starts to wiggle. So I want to wear a scarf so I can secure wiggling.

[Savannah]

[April]

[Savannah]

Hey, LeBron James, lovey. That's how I am. Okay? It's giving. Bonnet. Bonnet. I can't. Hi. What's your name? Where you calling from and what's your crazy.

[Malaika]

Hi.

[Savannah]

Hi.

[April]

Lake. Oh, my God. Hey, Lake. Oh, my God. What's your name, where you from and what's your crazy?

[Taylor]

My name is Malaika.

[Malaika]

I'm from Baltimore, but I live in la, and my crazy is couture. I don't know.

[April]

You know that's a lie.

[Malaika]

My crazy is a lot of things. How about that? Yeah, my crazy is a lot of things.

[April]

That's fair.

[Malaika]

I think y'all gonna answer the phone now.

[April]

I feel like, what's the. What's the largest crazy that you know you have?

[Malaika]

What's the largest crazy that I have?

[April]

Yes.

[Malaika]

I'm too neutral.

[April]

I can't.

[Jamil]

I can't.

[Malaika]

I can't pick a side.

[April]

That's interesting. That's an interesting crazy. I don't know how I feel about that. Now that you're my friend.

[Malaika]

Why always take your side?

[April]

Okay. Okay. That's an interesting crazy. Yeah.

[Malaika]

Always pick your side. I just. I just feel like I don't know what is my crazy. I think that is my crazy that I. I. I have a hard time. I don't have a medium. My crazy is I don't have a medium.

[Savannah]

Yeah, let's unpack that a little bit. Because I feel like sometimes I'm too loyal and not to say to being neutral is not being loyal, but I think that sometimes, like, I don't know, just an example would be if you say we don't like Sally. You don't like Sally. But I don't know Sally. It's fuck Sally for me. I don't even ever gotta meet Sally.

[Malaika]

Sally doesn't exist.

[Savannah]

Just for context, Sally does not exist. We were using this as an example, but yeah, and sometimes I struggle with that. Like, I don't know if there's such a thing as being too loyal, but that's how I see it.

[April]

I do not think there is a thing of being too loyal, because I operate majority of my relationships based on integrity. And like, I'm a ride with you till the wheels fall off. I'm ride or die. So I expect the same. But what I've learned to realize in friendships is not everybody values and treats friendships in that way.

[Savannah]

Let the church say what.

[April]

So I feel like a lot of.

[Malaika]

People do not do that.

[April]

Okay, what you got?

[Malaika]

Like, I think that April hates that I say this, but I think two things can be true at the same time.

[April]

Here we go.

[Malaika]

I think that. And this is what I mean by neutral. I think that loyalty is needed. But I also think that just because you. I think that you can. It's a difference between being loyal and being loyal, because that's what you should be, and being loyal just because that's your. Like, that's your friend and that's your person. And I know that that sounds a little crazy, but I feel like if you disagree with something, I don't feel like you have to be loyal to it. That doesn't mean that. That you do something that interferes with the friendship, but that does mean that you voice your opinions about the situation or whatever is going on. So I feel like, yes, loyalty is needed. Savannah, I 100% agree. You are loyal to the end.

[Ashley]

April.

[Malaika]

I think that you are the same way, but I think sometimes that creates a barrier and like a bubble. And so I think there's some things you may not expect experience, because you're so loyal. So I just think it's about finding a balance. And I think for me, I am somebody that always steps outside every situation and kind of looks at it from afar. So I end up seeing all points of view, if that makes sense. Yeah, I don't think you're like that, April. It's like, and.

[Jamil]

Or.

[Savannah]

Or you.

[Malaika]

Or you sit in. I think that's probably why you guys are so aligned. Because it's like. Like you said, oh, you. We don't like her.

[April]

Oh, that's it.

[Malaika]

It's done. The person don't even exist.

[April]

It's giving Character flaw. It's giving character flaw.

[Malaika]

Okay, we don't like her and that's cool, but can I know why we don't like. I just want to know why we don't like her.

[Savannah]

I just want to watch.

[Malaika]

That don't mean I don't like her. Okay, she don't exist. But can I at least know why she don't exist?

[April]

I'll tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why, though.

[Savannah]

No, yeah, like you said.

[Ashley]

What?

[April]

I'm gonna tell you why. Let me tell you why. But again, mine's is my point of view is very matter of fact. So very matter of fact, which I think is rigid.

[Savannah]

It's giving rigid.

[April]

It's giving rigid.

[Angel]

It is.

[April]

It's giving rigid. I appreciate y'all acknowledging, but I'm self aware.

[Savannah]

We know our friend, but it's okay.

[Malaika]

I feel like you're becoming a butterfly, and I feel like you are rigid in certain areas, but I think that that's changing a bit.

[April]

Okay. I think you're. Is it giving little caterpillar? I love it.

[Malaika]

I love to see it.

[April]

Let's give a little caterpillar. I love that we'll be selling that book on everybody's crazy Instagram.

[Savannah]

[April]

Oh, well, the problem is. What do you mean dealing with? Can we unpack that?

She cheating on me while I'm cheating on her.

[April]

Yeah, that is. But that's the problem.

[Jamil]

I feel like I'm that nigga. I got the money, providing I'm doing everything. She's supposed to stay loyal and stay down.

[Savannah]

So what exactly are you doing to keep her loyal and down while you out here living your best life?

[Jamil]

I mean, I'm paying for everything.

[Savannah]

Okay, so that's number one.

[Jamil]

She got no bills, no nothing to pay for.

[April]

But let me ask you something. That's like nothing. That's nothing. That's nothing of substance.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

That's so shallow.

[Jamil]

I mean, I'm a good God fearing man. I treat her well. I mean, I do everything I need to be doing.

[April]

But you have some caveats. It's caveats to it. So my whole thing is just be single because all you doing is making a bit of money.

[Jamil]

Well, I gotta be single, though. What if I want. Yeah, but what if I want somebody to be there for me to do all of the girlfriend level, wife level things?

[April]

My whole thing is somebody. Somebody may do that without a title.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

So why don't you, why don't you give her the option of doing that without the title so y'all can live y'all best truthful life instead of playing games?

[Jamil]

I don't listen, but I just don't. I just don't want her doing whatever she want to do.

[April]

Right. That's part of the issue.

[Jamil]

Am I wrong for that?

[Savannah]

Yes, that's exactly what it is.

[April]

That's. That's.

[Jamil]

Listen, man, y'all supposed to be on my side.

[Savannah]

Nah, it's real up in these streets.

[April]

Male ego is a.

[Savannah]

It's real up in these streets.

[Jamil]

Yeah, my ego's. I mean, I just feel like I'm that nigga, man.

[Savannah]

And you very well could be supposed.

[Jamil]

To just be loyal and be holding it down.

[Savannah]

Yeah, that ain't.

[Jamil]

And y'all not on my side now my feelings is hurt.

[April]

Well, listen, what I'm saying is I think you should just be single. Give her the option. Like let's have an open relationship. I would appreciate.

[Jamil]

No, I am single though.

[Savannah]

But she's not single. Right.

[Jamil]

I'm single. I get to do what I want to do. She's supposed to stay loyal and be in a relationship.

[April]

It's giving delusional.

[Savannah]

That's not real.

[April]

It's giving delusional. But we love that you called in.

[Savannah]

Yeah, that's dope.

[Jamil]

Yeah, now I'm just Stopping in, y'all. I'm proud of y'all. And I got a podcast coming up too. I need to interview y'all.

[April]

All right, we out here, we ready.

[Savannah]

Let us know.

[April]

All right.

[Jamil]

Better say no more. I'm gonna tap in.

[Savannah]

All right, see ya. Hi, what's your name? Where you calling from? And what's your crazy?

[Ethan]

So I'm currently in in Orlando, Florida. I'm staying at this hotel and through my balcony I can see alligator. And I don't know what to do.

[April]

Okay.

[Savannah]

Yo, what'.

[Ethan]

Ethan?

[Savannah]

Ethan, wait. Did you call us earlier, Ethan?

[Ethan]

Yeah, I did, but I hung up because I went to go get go get tickets from the arcade.

[April]

Okay. We love this, Ethan. I don't think the alligator is crazy. You are in Florida.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

So it's giving Crocodile Dundee.

[Ethan]

I'm really. I'm just like really scared right now. I'm like 16 floors up, but I'm still scared, Ethan.

[April]

Well, I think I have to be honest with you, Ethan. It feels like anxiety.

[Savannah]

Oh, my God.

[April]

I think you just anxious. Don't try to think about it. He's not worried about you. You're not worried about him. And you're in Orlando on the 16th floor, which of a hotel probably he can't get too Living your best life. What are you gonna do tonight?

[Ethan]

But I feel like he's gonna like start climbing up the hotel.

[April]

He's definitely not climbing up the hotel, Ethan. I don't even know. Can crocodiles climb?

[Savannah]

No, they cannot. I think you're safe, Ethan.

[Ethan]

Well, it's an alligator, so maybe it climbs.

[Savannah]

Yo.

[April]

An alligator. I don't think it climbs. But listen, we don't want you to be concerned. Do you ever do any breath work? Does that all help you?

[Ethan]

I'm currently doing breath work. I'm doing breath work on the phone with you right now, actually. But I'm still really scared for my well being.

[April]

Oh, my God. I wish I could help you though. But keep doing the breath work. Stay positive.

[Ethan]

I think I should like contact anyone.

[April]

No, because where is the alligator exactly?

[Ethan]

It's like all the way on the floor in the pond.

[April]

Oh, he's in his environment. Okay, well then he's not worried about you for sure.

[Ethan]

I know, but I don't like his environment.

[April]

You don't like his environment? Why you go to Orlando though, Ethan? That's where the Everglades are.

[Savannah]

Are you from Orlando?

[Ethan]

No, I live in California.

[Savannah]

Oh, okay.

[April]

Okay. We love that.

[Savannah]

So you more scared of the alligator than you are a potential earthquake.

[Ethan]

Yeah, because I feel like the alligator is just like kind of climb up the building.

[Savannah]

He's not coming for you, Ethan. I promise you. He's not coming for you.

[April]

Well, we appreciate it, Ethan. Talk to you later.

[Savannah]

Bye.

[Ethan]

Talk to you later.

[April]

Bye. Bye.

[Savannah]

Hi, Jennifer, where you calling from and what's your crazy?

[Ashley]

I am calling from Memphis, Tennessee.

[April]

Okay, Memphis, my crazy.

[Ashley]

Yeah. And my crazy is I am overthinking being a wife.

[April]

You don't need to overthink that.

[Savannah]

Yeah, why, why are you overthinking? How long have you, are you married?

[April]

How long have you been a wife?

[Ashley]

Okay, so we've been together for about 15 years and we've been married for about four months now.

[Savannah]

Okay, and what, what is it that you're. You're overthinking?

[Ashley]

So I guess I expected, you know.

[April]

Everybody was telling me, oh, it's going.

[Ashley]

To feel so different once you get married. Things are not going to be the same, but it's like things are exactly the same. Like it's not.

[April]

And not in a bad way, but.

[Ashley]

It'S like, am I doing my part right? Is it supposed to feel different? Like, what am I missing here?

[April]

I personally don't think that it feels much different, I have to say. But I also feel like, what are your husband's expectations and what are your expectations? And have y'all had that conversation? And I mean, to be together already for 15 years is a long time. I guess, Savannah, you probably better to answer it than me, but I mean, I think. And then to get married, I don't think much would change.

[Savannah]

No. LeBron and I were together for 10 years before we got married. And I would say for me, the biggest thing that I felt was just a sense of security. Like I felt like we had kids together already. I don't know, Jennifer, if you have kids or if you guys had kids already.

[Ashley]

We have a son.

[Savannah]

Yeah. But to me it just felt like a sense of security. How I digest that or, or explain it, I don't know. But it was, it was just more of a feeling. I can't say that it changed, but I will say that through our marriage, wanting to grow together, like as husband and wife, it was really just set an intention and making sure that we just kind of recap like, you know, to be boyfriend and girlfriend for 10 years and to start having kids and then to get married, I feel like those are phases and you just have to be able to know what exactly it is out of those phases that you want. So, like I just passed my 10 year anniversary and something that we want to be more intentional with is just making sure that our next phase of, like, what our next phase of life looks like. So we speak about that often. And, you know, like, something that's really important to me is dating. Like, yeah, we married. We've been together for 22 years. But, like, I want to feel, like, young and fun, so I want us to date, you know, so that's like, you know, like, some of the smaller things. But I do think that it feels kind of the same. But you can make. Have conversations and do things that makes it feel new and fun and, you know, something to, like, keep working at.

[Ashley]

Okay. Okay. So basically, spice it up. Like, don't just fall into our same routine.

[April]

Yeah, for sure.

[Savannah]

Yeah. I mean, routine is inevitable, but understanding, you know, understanding expectation and, like, knowing what it is that you require from him, what he requires from you, and then how you guys come together and I mean, the word spice it up, I feel like it's, like, super overused, but just, like, how you're able to, you know, just how you're able to keep things fresh and not allow it to stay in a place of routine.

[April]

Yeah. And the only other thing I would say is, like, people are gonna have an opinion on how you should feel, which I also think is crazy. So that's why we have this show, and that's why it's called Everybody's Crazy. Cause no one can tell you how to feel about your relationship that you've been in for 15 years. So do what you do. Figure it out.

[Malaika]

Go marry people at that.

[Ashley]

Unmarried.

[April]

Well, girl, that's telling me what I said to them. So I just feel like you have to focus on what you know and whatever you don't know, you should explore and discover and. And go with the flow, but do not allow outside noise to affect a secure inside relationship.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

And thank you so much.

[Savannah]

Thanks, Jennifer.

[April]

I love you both. All right, bye. Thank you.

[Savannah]

Hi. What's your name? Where you from? And what's your crazy.

[Ashley]

Hi. Oh, my goodness. You guys answered. That's so cool. I think you said, what's my name? What's my crazy. My name is Nicole Dennis. I am from South Carolina, but I live in Atlanta right now, and they asked me what my topic was when I first called. And I just think that you guys are just boss as women and so love. I'm 26 years old, so I'm still pretty young. I'm figuring out this adult life thing. So just any advice that you guys have, I guess.

[April]

Yes. Well, first of all, your life's just starting, so it's so exciting. There's so much to do. I think one of my biggest things is to be fearless and to be yourself. Like, I feel like if you'd listen to the noise externally, you'll never really learn to listen to your own gut. So just really trusting yourself and all your decisions and following what's important to you.

[Savannah]

Vanna, I would have to say that you don't have to have all the answers right now. There's nothing wrong with continuing to be a student of life. And everything is not going to come to you immediately. And I don't think that you should feel discouraged if you find that you can't figure something out immediately. It'll come to you. Life lessons, growth, and, you know, just understanding of yourself. I think that you have time, plenty of time.

[Ashley]

Well, thank you, guys.

[April]

Thank you.

[Savannah]

Nicole.

[April]

Hi.

[Ashley]

I saw that the podcast is kind of new, right?

[Savannah]

Yes, very new.

[April]

Very new. We are just getting started. So listen out, follow the ig. But more to come, More to come.

[Savannah]

Thanks, Nicole.

[Ashley]

Yes, I just followed. I'm so excited.

[Savannah]

Thank you.

[April]

Thank you, Nicole. Okay. All right, bye.

[Jennifer]

So we do have a write in. My boyfriend doesn't want me wearing shorts in casual public settings. Is this normal?

[Savannah]

What?

[April]

What? He needs to go shorts and a casual. What is. What does that even mean?

[Jennifer]

Do we want a little more context?

[April]

Yes.

[Jennifer]

Okay. My 26 female boyfriend, 30 male, has made it known that he doesn't want me wearing shorts to public places like the grocery store. And I'm not sure how to feel about it. He told me he doesn't like men looking when we're just trying to get errands done. I'm the kind of person that gets dressed up every single day. Never been one to wear sweats, et cetera, out in public. I'm always done up. And he said it doesn't bother him that I get dressed up every day or when I wear shorts on dates or to parties. But specifically shorts in casual spaces bother him.

[April]

He has a self esteem issue. I couldn't deal with that.

[Savannah]

I couldn't deal. I don't. I wouldn't understand. I don't understand. Like, what are you. What. What is it? That's very specific. Yeah, like what, What? It's an insecurity. Cause I got my stems out. I can wear my stems to the grocery store.

[April]

What are stems?

[Savannah]

My legs. Can you wear these stems out?

[April]

Oh, I don't like.

[Savannah]

I feel like it's a little bit of an insecurity. On his part.

[April]

Because I also feel like in. In the perspective of things. What is that? Like, it must be, like, insecurity, childhood trauma. She's Louise. Geez, Louise.

[Savannah]

Yeah. And I don't understand the circumstance. Like, parties and dates is okay, but I can't wear shorts to the grocery store. It's hot outside.

[April]

I definitely couldn't be with somebody who's trying to tell me what to wear, though. But I also have a very strong opinion on how people dress.

[Savannah]

Yes, you do.

[April]

I really struggle with it.

[Savannah]

I don't care.

[April]

I think some things are inappropriate. I actually think a lot of things are inappropriate.

[Savannah]

Like what?

[April]

Just, like, in a work environment. Like, the way some people dress in the work environment, I think is unprofessional. I think also nowadays, I think more than ever, it's naked. Women are naked.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

And just outside. And, like, how do you expect anybody to, like, have any type of respect for you and then get offended when people are disrespectful? Your outfit is disrespectful. That's my opinion. I know it's strong.

[Savannah]

I think it's. It's now, like, a level of liberation that women are having where they feel like. Like, I could wear what I want whether it's naked or not.

[April]

Right. But what about all the little girls that watch your every move?

[Savannah]

I agree. I have a daughter, and I would never. It's only so far I would go, like. And again, I feel like I'm a very confident body, positive. So sometimes it's gonna give a little bit more risque just depending on how I feel. But it's always gonna give mystery and class at the same time.

[April]

Correct. And I think that that is what we have lost nowadays.

[Jennifer]

Speaking of daughters, this other write in says, today I found out my girlfriend's niece was her own daughter.

[Savannah]

Mm. I'm not surprised by that. I feel like in our community, being the black community, sometimes your family has to step in and take care of things for you. If, you know, you can't do what you have to do and step up as a parent at that time, that doesn't sound super crazy to me, But I can understand.

[April]

It doesn't sound super crazy to me. I just think, how hard is that?

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

Emotionally, like, that just makes me sad. I feel like that story makes me sad because that person couldn't be their truest self. They're in such close proximity. It's not like you in another house, in another space. Like, I just feel like, was that based on what other people think was that person too young. Like, what was that decision made off of that? I feel like. Just feels sad.

[Savannah]

Yeah, it is sad. I couldn't imagine being so hurting a child so far.

[April]

Yeah, like.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

Yeah, that's. That's a hard one.

[Jennifer]

How do you guys feel about the topic of poop?

[Savannah]

I love the poop.

[April]

No, I don't like it. No.

[Jennifer]

This is going to be good for the both of you.

[April]

No, this is not what we're talking about.

[Jennifer]

Because there is this one. My boyfriend doesn't always wash his hands after his poops.

[Savannah]

Okay, now, guys, that is disgusting. I sometimes am in a public restroom and I'm at the sink washing my hands and see people come out and they don't wash their hands.

[April]

I don't want to talk about nothing nobody's doing in the bathroom. It's not about.

[Savannah]

I think that's crazy. I mean, I don't want to talk about what you're doing in the bathroom. Okay, cool. We gonna have the poop talk. Fine. But when you come out and it's a. It's a communal washo hands. I'm gonna need you to wash your hands.

[April]

I wash my hands, but now it's soap, bruh. I don't like all the soaps. We're into is water.

[Savannah]

Just giving.

[April]

My g a rinse of water. I don't like all the soaps.

[Savannah]

I'm gonna need you to use some soap. Just a little Half a. Half a soap.

[April]

I don't like it. I don't like it. It's very cheap.

[Savannah]

I'ma still need you. You got some hand tizer?

[April]

Sometimes at my desk here at the office, but like, not all the time.

[Savannah]

Okay.

[April]

Where are you from and what's your crazy?

[Angel]

My name is Tori and I want to talk about how I've been single for 13 years now. Maybe I'm crazy. I don't know.

[April]

Hey, Tori.

[Angel]

I'm from. I'm from New Jersey, but I live in Los Angeles.

[Savannah]

Okay.

[April]

Okay. And what's your crazy?

[Angel]

I don't know.

[Jamil]

You know, I. I've been single for like 13 years.

[Angel]

It's been a long time. I mean, since. Since I got out of college. Really. Since I moved to la. And I don't know if it's an issue with me or, you know, or maybe everybody else is crazy and I'm the only one that sings.

[Savannah]

Maybe.

[April]

But so I have a few questions. Corey. Tori. Okay, so do you go to therapy?

[Angel]

Do I go to therapy? I'm not actively in therapy. No, not at the moment.

[April]

I mean, I personally think it's important to have a level of self awareness. So I definitely have some craziest. All of us do. I believe everybody does. But to like really understand what you're crazy is so. For like, for the last two years, I swore that I wanted a relationship. Like, I was like, oh my God, I want a boyfriend. I want to be in a relationship. And then when I was in therapy, my therapist was like, but do you want a relationship? Because it's not giving. It's not giving, committing, committing. It's giving scary. And I was migrating or dating towards people that I knew weren't gonna be fully committing to me. So it took me a second to like unpack what those issues were, to really figure out why I was still single. And it was really hard.

[Angel]

How was that? How is that? I mean, I know you guys are the interviewers, but how has that helped you since moving forward?

[April]

Yeah, I mean, I think I'm a lot more self aware. I think what I learned was I was dating people that I thought I had to help because the root of the issue was I had a worth issue, which no one would ever guess that about me. So am I worthy enough? Am I showing this person enough? But in a relationship, you should be enough. You shouldn't have to show somebody something, you shouldn't have to help them, you shouldn't have to support them in that way. So I feel like I just learned a lot about the types of people I was attracting to really figure out why I was single. And now I'm just floating and figuring it out. And I do not think I have it figured out, but I do think I'm a lot more self aware than I was two years ago when I was like, I really want a boyfriend. Like, I was nowhere near ready to be in a relationship because some of my perspective, I was delusional.

[Angel]

Gotcha. Okay. That makes, that makes a lot of sense.

[April]

And I mean, I think a lot of dating and relationships stem from upbringing, which we do not talk about. Like, how was your mom? How was your dad? What. What do you expect are. You know, I think a lot of those things are so important. And I think especially in black communities, we don't discuss that. Like, our upbringing, what are our commitment issues? You know what guys believe. We just had a caller recently, say, called in and was like, I'm in a situation, I'm single, but she's in a committed relationship with me. What the hell are you talking about, sir? Like, and just like some of the beliefs that are out here with social media.

[Jamil]

Absolutely.

[Angel]

I think that could be part of. That could be part of the issue as well. I mean, my parents have been together my whole life. They, you know, I've been married, I think, 38 years now. So it's been a. It's been a long time. For the example that I see, you know, although that was like a super positive thing, it kind of like, it leads me to want to compare that, you know, and if. And if I can't necessarily see that type of partnership or companionship and somebody else, it kind of makes. It makes it very difficult, you know?

[April]

Yeah.

[Angel]

And I feel like that's like the reverse side. That's the reverse side.

[Ashley]

Yeah.

[Angel]

Like, we always talk about people who come from broken homes and how that can harm them, but, you know, sometimes having such a good example can be somewhat detrimental to you as well.

[April]

Agreed. So a little perspective. I think therapy, the word therapy, people are like, whoa. But I think it gives you just another perspective of, like, how to become your best version of yourself. Because I believe life is crazy. Things that happen are crazy. A lot of times everybody's crazy. That's why we have this show. And, you know, it just takes you to, like, laugh it off and be like, okay, well, let's try something new. So it's been 13 years. It hasn't worked, so let's try something new.

[Angel]

Absolutely. I think for me it's more so like, you know, in trying to be self aware, it's more so understanding that I haven't really poured into that. Right. Like, I do a lot of work within the community and, you know, I just have a strong affection for people in general, and I think that sometimes I can put that first even before myself.

[April]

Yeah.

[Angel]

You know, to a fault, somewhat. So same, you know, same for me.

[April]

So I'm very much that person too.

[Angel]

If I want to be with somebody that's like, you know, it's almost like they have to understand that they come second to the people. And I also want to come second to whatever it is that they love and that they're all about. Right. Like, I don't want to be. I truly don't want to be somebody's everything. You know what I'm saying? I. I wanna. I want you to love something more than you love me, you know, because something. Something has to drive you. Something bigger than an individual, you know, has to drive you. I feel like that's really what, you know, finding life's purpose is all about and really doing. You know, I'm not the most religious but doing God's work.

[April]

Yeah. But one thing I will say is, like, spending some time to learn how to love yourself a little bit more makes you a better figure to serve others. So maybe it's just time for you to prioritize yourself and get clarity on why things are the way they are and just what can you do to change them? And then I feel like everything else kind of falls in place. So hopefully you take a little advice from us. We appreciate you, Tori. Thank you.

[Angel]

I received that. I received that. Thank you so much. And congratulations. I love what you guys are doing. Wish you my success.

[April]

Thank you. All right.

[Savannah]

Thank you.

[Angel]

All right.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, go ahead.

[Savannah]

This is what this is.

[Jamil]

But no, I.

[Angel]

That happens. That happens quite often, I don't think. I think because people have access to make playlists now that they just think they could just play whatever, whenever, like, and it's just. Okay.

[Savannah]

Yeah, no, I think I work like that. No. Yeah, no, I think when you are there to do what you do, taking a request is not. It does not come with what I'm doing here. No. But I will say in a personal setting, I'm giving a request.

[April]

In a personal setting, you're giving a request?

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

You know, it's funny, years ago.

[Angel]

What if it don't go with it? What if.

[Jamil]

[Angel]

Okay. It seems like the bride and the groom.

[April]

The bride and the groom. Yes. For sure.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

But I feel like if I was a very professional.

[Angel]

Not grandma.

[April]

Not grandma. And if I was a very professional dj, I would ask for the request the day before.

[Angel]

They always tell you, you know, you know they gonna. So anybody come up. That's just. This is what we want here. No requests. But, you know, people always gonna come up. And then you tell them that and then it becomes a problem. Once you tell the person that made a request.

[Savannah]

You gotta be. You gotta be on the people meal. DJs are loved by the people.

[Savannah]

[April]

Bye.

[Savannah]

I'm gonna be honest. I go to the. The. The events and the music is usually pretty good. Because I'm not gonna go to an event where the DJ is questionable in the first place. So I think that I haven't heard like a bad song or I heard something weaved in that you like, what the fuck? Because the DJs know what they doing. And it's. It's. It's a. It's a time.

[April]

I definitely am like, what the fuck? Sometime.

[Savannah]

That's because you don't be knowing the song.

[April]

None of that. What is that? I definitely do not know the songs, but I could dance to them. But the other day somebody said I dance like old lady. I know. Oh, it's so sad because I look so young and vibe. But it was giving.

Okay, well, we're engaged now, so it's okay. But I just did this, and I was thinking, like, oh, that might have been a little crazy, but I.

[April]

It was a little crazy, but it's not too crazy. I feel like I also believe in manifesting. So it's a teetering line there. Like, there is that manifesting piece, but then there is that piece that's like, little cuckoo. But I think I'm on the verge, I feel like. But obviously it worked in your benefit, so go get it, Taylor. When's the wedding?

[Savannah]

Yeah. I don't think it's nothing.

[Ashley]

[Malaika]

I gotta get it.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[April]

The only reason I'd have bought if it was on sale.

[Ashley]

Unfortunately, it was not on sale. But it's okay. It was. It was the dream dress. I was like, I'm gonna look too good. I know he's gonna look good because he makes custom suits. I was like, if he gonna look good, I gotta look better.

[April]

Thank you.

[Ashley]

I hope y'all have a great night.

[Savannah]

You too.

[April]

You too. Bye.

[Savannah]

Hi, what's your name? Where you from? And what's your crazy.

[Taylor]

Hi, my name is Low, and I'm calling from Los Angeles.

[Savannah]

Hello? What's your crazy.

[Taylor]

So I've been having dreams about different people every single night that are not my boyfriend. And I'm just wondering if you guys have any advice on what that means.

[April]

Well, really quickly, is it normal people? People you know, or celebrities?

[Taylor]

It's people that I don't know. They're like, never. It hasn't been anyone that I am familiar with. Like, if anything, it's people that maybe could have similarities to people I've dated in the past, but it's never actually been. And it's been a different person every single night too. And they're not. And they're not sex dreams or anything. They're just kind of like romantic, like someone at the beginning of a relationship.

[Savannah]

I'm no dream interpreter, but I kind of look into some of something surrounding dreams and why things show up in your dreams and what they mean. And some of the things that I've come up with are that just subconsciously these are things that you're thinking about or things that you desire or, you know, like, kind of like that, and it's just, you know, manifesting itself in your dreams. And it's just, you know, doesn't really mean anything. It's just how you perceive yourself and what you're going through and where you are at the moment. So, I mean, I don't. I don't know if there's. Again, not a sleep interpreter, a dream interpreter, but, you know, just On a tiny bit of research that I've done around that, it seems that it could be that.

[April]

I have a quick question. In the dream and the things that are happening with the person, do you like what's happening?

[Taylor]

Yeah. In the dream, it's like. It's as if I enter a different world where every single time I have a new dream, every single night, it's like my boyfriend doesn't even exist in the dream. And it's like the start of a new relationship with somebody else. And it's like always. It's always very nice. It's always, like, innocent and sweet and the person really likes me. Are there things I'm starting to like that person, too.

[Savannah]

Are those things that you're feeling different from how you feel in your relationship? Like, is that something that you want in your relationship?

[Taylor]

So maybe, like. Because I think the difference between the real, like, my relationship and then these relationships that I have with these random people every single night is that there's, like, that excitement feeling of something new. And me and my boyfriend are kind of just, like, complacent in our relationship, like, where very, very comfortable with each other. There's not, like those butterflies or anything that happens in the beginning of a relationship.

[April]

So I feel like you have work to do. So I feel like it's a way of showing itself in a unique way of, like, what you desire, but also what you really want. So I feel like there's an opportunity for you to utilize that energy and that excitement you feel in those scenarios and apply it to your relationship and you shouldn't settle. And there's ways to make your relationship exciting and you deserve to feel like that. You know, my therapist says I'm a romantic ideal.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[April]

So love a romance. Love it, love it, love it. I swear, someone's gonna sweep me off my feet and be like, oh, my.

[Savannah]

God, money's on us.

[April]

So, yes, love me some mother me in love. So I feel like maybe you should try to take some of that pizzazz from the dates and apply it and plan something romantic with your boyfriend and get a little flame going. Because we shall not settle in this lifetime because life is too short. So we got work.

[Savannah]

This is for real.

[April]

Don't leave it for the dreams. Do you deserve it in real time? Honey, what are we doing? Yeah, no, boo, it is this weekend, but no panties.

[Savannah]

Okay. All right. All right. I mean, it sounds like a good plan, but all right.

[April]

It's nice talking to you.

[Taylor]

Yeah. Thank you guys so much.

[Savannah]
