First of all, let me ask this, because I think I like to start the episode off like this, especially when we have black women on the show who are mothers, bosses. How are you doing? How are you doing?
C
You know what? I'm good. Yeah, I'm good. You know, I just got to a point where, you know, I just accept things for it is what it is, and it makes my life way more peaceful.
A
Yeah.
C
You know, like, it just is what it is.
A
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? And that's just. Lately, that's just all I say.
A
It is what it is.
C
You know what I'm saying? I accept it, and I try to change it because I don't like it. You just accept things for what it is, and you find a way to live through that. Because one thing about life, something's always going to be happening. So once you realize how to live life with things happening all the time, that's when you start living. Because that shit ain't gonna.
A
You know what I'm saying?
C
It's always something. Pretty much something. Yep.
B
It's always throwing a curve ball at you.
C
So it's like once you just get jiggy with the fact that, you know, that's what make life creative.
B
Right.
C
It's like you just gotta look at it like, oh, that's creative. You know, it is what it is. And then just keep it pushing. So I'm fine right now. I'm in a very good space.
A
Good. Cause you look good.
B
You look amazing, y'all.

Y'all look good, too, though. Y'all are. Both of y'all are beautiful.
B
Yeah, look, I got my baby ice on.

There's just some things I like. I'm from Detroit, man. I love me some furs and some jewelry and some purses y'all.
B
That's my.
C
That's my thing.
A
I love it.
B
We went to Detroit for the first time last year, and I feel like we say this every time we have somebody from Detroit on the show. We just gotta let them know we love Detroit so bad. Like, we had so much fun. That was probably the best show that we had last year when we were on tour.
C
Yes, I think I do know, because my best friend.
B
Yeah.
C
She asked me one time to come on here. I'm like, I will be at. But I'm gonna wait until it's time for me to come on there. Like, when I. She was like, okay, I'm gonna tell them. I'm like. Because I seen role pay came on me payroll. I call him Rope, but I see he came on here, so. So, yeah. Y'all talking about that time.
A
Yeah.
C
Okay.
A
Yeah.
C
He did the live at the Garden Theater. Yeah. It was so.
A
Oh, my God. It was surprising, because I'm not gonna lie. I've never been to Detroit.
C
Yeah.
A
And I wasn't excited because it was kind of like. I knew it was gonna be kind of cold. And I. Texas, girl to the core of.
C
Okay, Texas, you.
B
Me.
C
Okay. Okay.
B
I was like.
A
My expectations wasn't high because, like, I'm like. I don't. I'm like, do we even have a fan base in Detroit? But that the tickets ended up selling out. And I'm like, oh, that's crazy.
C
Yeah. No. Detroit. When. I'm gonna tell you, the fact that y'all tickets sold out is great because Detroit is funny actor.
A
Really?
B
That's how Houston is, too, though.
C
What? Detroit. And every time I come to Houston, it's a time of my life, baby.
B
I think that's what it is. When you go where you not from, they show you way more love. Well, you don't think so.
C
No, really.
A
They love her in Detroit.
B
They do love you in Detroit. And Houston, they be trying to play us. They be trying to low ball us with the bookings and stuff. Yes, girl.
A
But.
C
Oh, no, you know, they. They feel like that's home.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
C
And I think that's what anybody at home they gonna try out. But I. Nah, y'all are. Y'all dope.
A
Thank you. We had a time in Detroit I could not believe. Like, they had the room rocking. It was such a good time.
C
And they play a lot.
A
And Kendra is so sw. I love a girl's girl.
C
That is my heart.
A
I know.
C
I love that girl has my heart.
B
Yeah.
C
That is my soulmate friend. That's my soul, my lover. That girl. I get emotional sometimes. Like, she is very. She's who? She. She's her. Yeah.
A
She seems like, what?
C
And very genuine.
A
Yeah.
C
But she don't let everybody in her space because she's so genuine. It's like, I don't feel like she could spread herself like that.
B
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? Everybody is not available. They can't be in Kendra space. But when you in it, it's a time.
A
Yeah.
B
So how did y'all meet? Like, in high school, at church. At church?
C
Really? We met at church. We were young, still coming out of middle school, and she always had her hair done and fly. And I always just fly. But I need her to do my hair. And that's what started doing my hair. And we used to. Our way of, like, filling each other out was like, I like your shoes. And she'll walk past me like, oh, I like your shirt. And I'm like, thank you. Thank you. And the next day we'll see each other, and I'll be like, I like your shoes. She was like, I like your pants. And I'm like, thank you. And then one day, I was like, I like your hair. She was like, I did it. I'm like, really? Like, can you do my hair? She like, yeah, Come over. I went over that girl house. We've been best friends ever since. We were stuck like this. We used to be in church, texting each other on our little Nokias, playing Snake. The little Snake game.
B
She loved me a Nokia.
C
Oh, that Nokia. And we used to be just texting and talking crap like, that is my heart.
A
I love that.
B
Yeah.
C
Yeah. We. We never had an argument, really, ever. Only time we had disagreements is when she didn't do my hair.
A
That's crazy.
C
She never did nothing foul to me.
B
And if we.
C
If I. If we ever felt any type of way about anything, it's like a real, like, simple conversation.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
C
Never raising our voice or like, I'm not talking to you. No, I feel you.
A
The fact that y'all were young and, you know when you go through things and you're growing and you're immature.
C
Yeah.
A
A lot of times you don't handle situations properly.
C
Exactly.
A
So the fact that y'all went through growing up and becoming women and never had never.
C
She'll tell you never. And I think it's the reason why is because, you know, like you said, some people do grow through things. Right. But I think that it's because me and her is really the same person. But we're not. It's the craziest shit ever, but we're the same person. And it's so easy to treat a person how you want to treated. And it never stopped. Yeah, it never stopped. It's just always been like, I wouldn't do that. I'm not gonna post that. Cause she wouldn't like, or even if. I think she'll think or whatever. Even though that's never the case neither.
A
Right.
C
It just never been. No. Never talked about me behind my back. We always. It's just like, I genuinely love me some Kendra.
A
I love.
C
I would be the bitch up about Kendra.
B
I love that too. I feel like I have a friend like that, too. Her name Lynn. And she is Sagittarius too.
C
Okay.
B
Just like, I'm a tourist.
C
Oh, you're a tourist. Okay, okay, okay.
B
But my best friend is the Sagittari. Sagittarius too. Like Kendra. And, like, I feel like we have a relationship like that as well. Like, we never had an argument. We never gotten into it. But we became friends when I was like 26. So it's been in adulthood. It's been like eight years now. But we're adults, so I'm like, okay, we never had an argument. But like Lex said, coming from knowing each other in middle school and y'all.
C
Never had an issue, never had a not talking. We always talk. We always. Or like, if she ain't hit me. And she, like, I remember when she won her senior trip and she ain't talked to me for like two days. Right. And I'm a Pisces. I'm a little spoiled, a little emotional. I be wanting my water. I be wanting my time. Yeah. You know, And I get spoiled, y'all. I'm used to getting things when I want it, how I want it. So, like, I can't get my hair done. You ain't answer the phone. I'm trying to ask you which shirt. You know what I'm saying? What shirt to wear with this. And you ain't saying nothing. But when she came back, she just knew how to make me feel better. She brought me a souvenir. And it was a. I had just got my belly button pierced and she bought me a belly button ring. I was like, I missed you. And I was like. Like, I'm not mad no more. So it always been like little stuff like that.
A
It never been.
C
Yeah. You know, and it's just like, it's still a relationship. People don't. Like, friendships are relationships.
B
They are.
C
People think like, Their significant other is like, the only relationship that they prioritize. And you know, you have to prioritize every relationship in your life.
B
I agree.
C
Your business, you got to nurture every relationship in your life. Your business relationships, your kids, your kids relationship, your man, your friends, your mother, your sisters. All those relationships have to be nurtured in some type of way to keep it healthy. I believe, you know, you can't neglect nothing in your life.
A
I remember when y'all went viral because I can't remember whose birthday it was. One of y'all gifted the other one a Birkin, and I sent that to all my friends. I said, step your cookies up, bitch.
B
Oh, they crumble, bitch.
C
You know what?
A
Step it up.
C
I bought Kendra a Birkin before I got myself one.
B
That's how it was you that went.
C
I bought her a Birkin before I bought myself one. Because every time it's time to gift her, I think of things that I will want. Because we like the same shit, right? What do I want that I haven't gotten yet or that's cost too much that I'm not spending it or something? Let me just break the ice. You feel me? And I was like a Birkin. And that year, I gave her a Chanel first. So she opened the box and seen the white Chanel. She was so excited about that.
B
Yeah.
C
I was like, nah, bitch, that's mine. Here you go. Bring that orange box out here. And they brought that orange box out there. She said, no, you didn't. I said, yes, I did. Come on, open that thing right on up right now. And she was stalking so happy. And we had a good time.
B
But I think y'all always go viral for giving each other gifts. Cuz y'all always give each other the best gift. Like it's. Y'all relationship is really, really cute.
A
That's my dog.
B
Yeah, that's my. Like, it shows that women can coexist, especially two beautiful, successful women.
C
Exactly, exactly.
B
Have a healthy relationship with no drama.
C
With no drama.
B
Because people always love to believe that black women, we can't be friends without any drama or jealousy.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And. And it always been like that, you know? And it takes two. It takes two. I can't take all the credit for that. She is a very great friend. Yeah, she's a very great friend. Even though sometimes I be like, what you doing? Like, I've been texting your phone. Life is happening.
A
So you a needy one.
C
It's a balance, okay? Yeah, but see, I'm the one who gonna See, she gonna start some stuff with me in person.
A
Okay.
C
You know, I'm saying it right? When I feel it. She gonna wait till she see me, and now she about to lay all this shit out on me, and I'll.
A
Be like, that's hilarious.
C
Not you. Oh, so you were jealous.
A
Yeah.
B
She be waiting for the right time, right?
C
She be waiting for the right time.
A
She's.
C
Look, she get her evidence. She fall. She get it big, too. And then as soon as I say, well, you. You was having too much fun when you was with. And she was like, I know you ain't talking. Cause you. Da, da, da. I be like, oh, she be pulling.
A
Out the receipt and get all that.
C
I be like, girl, I'm not even about to argue with you. What you doing?
B
Right?
A
Anyway, so I want to take it back a little bit. I want to talk about, like, growing up in Detroit, because like I said, I'm from the South. I'm from a very, very small town.
C
Okay?
A
So, like, once I got out of, you know, my small town and I moved to Houston, then now being in Atlanta, you know, I like to learn about how different people grew up, because I grew up, like I said, in the country, riding horses.
C
Okay.
A
So I always like to get people's experience. Like, how was it like growing up in Detroit? Detroit.
C
You know, I had a good time.
A
Yeah.
C
I'm not even about to sit up here and. Cat, flat out, I had a great time in Detroit. It wasn't all gravy, though.
A
Yeah.
C
But, you know, I used to have. I used to fight.
A
Yeah.
C
You know, I had dance contests. You know, I always was like a dreamer. I always dreamed of this cash style girl. I always dreamed of her. You know, I. I used to draw a lot, and they stayed outside a very. My mom for Christmas. I used to always, like, get big. My mom used to buy me big plain posters and pencils and paint brushes, you know, So I did a lot of that stuff. I always listen to music, so I always got CD player, iPad, iPods, and all that stuff, you know? And I. Sometimes I would be by myself, but I was. I was always popular, y'all. That's the crazy part. I was the girl, that girl in the neighborhood. I was that girl at school, you know, before I even got on social media, it was like, I was always like, one of those girls.
B
Yeah.
C
And I used to have a good. I made the best of it. And I grew up in a household. It was six of us. You know what I'm saying? I'm the Oldest of six, so it wasn't as flashy as I would have liked it. But as soon as I turned 15, I got a job.
A
I know that's right. That's how I was.
C
I got a job at Mr. Allen's shoe factory, and I worked, and I was buying myself shoes every day. Like, I like to be like, I've always been like that something that I is in me. You know what I'm saying? And I grew up, and, you know, I was into this. I was this girl, y'all. I had this vision in my head.
A
But I think that shows in a lot of people, too. Like, a lot of people who have the career that they do now, they've always been that girl. Are you always something? Even if we look at, like, stuff like Beyonce, even though she's always been shy, it's like footage of her just dancing and singing everywhere, just always sticking out. You know what I'm saying?
C
So always something.
A
It's always something.
C
Yeah. It's like you could tell when you, like, you. You always wanted to do that.
A
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? And I always did. Like, even, like, when I was younger, my mom said, you know, I used to be standing on the couch with my comb and my brush singing Anita Baker.
A
I know that's right.
C
When I used to come to my parties, at my, like, my family parties, they used to be like, yeah, come on. It's a little girl thinking she know how to dance. She thinks she know how to dance. Keisha, come show her how to do it. Nice. Coming there like, ho. Like, who was waiting on me. I heard y'all was looking for me. Like, what the. I'm in there. Ready? Yeah. So, man, I just always been like this. I got to a point where I had, like, three jobs. I worked at Little Caesars, Better Made, Chip Factory, Best Buy, all at once to the money.
B
Cause I'm playing.
C
I like, Coach at the time was my favorite.
B
Yeah.
A
Hey, Coach.
C
Girl, I had all the parts, and then I wanted to keep my hair done, you know what I'm saying?
B
Were you ever a Dooney and Burke girl?
C
I never got into Dooney and Burke.
B
It was big in Houston.
C
I had a little everybody. But, you know, in certain areas, yeah, it's different thing that's popular, so. Yeah. Yeah.
A
Do you be feeling, like, pressure to, like, always have your hair laid?
C
No, you don't.
B
Because you don't.
C
But I told somebody the other day when they said, listen, cashed out is never nothing is never out of place. And I Said, let me tell you something. You might catch me outside with the head scarf on because my wig, braids is in, and I'm hydrating my hair. Listen, y'all better stop thinking, right, that I don't be looking. I got my time, and I like my time when I'm ugly. Let me enjoy myself being no makeup, no lashes, no weave. I like to have my time.
A
Well, I'll say this, what I mean, though. I feel like sometimes you'll see, like, a celebrity or a person. They'll do an interview or they'll do red carpet, and you'll be like, ooh, they missed. It's a hit or miss.
C
Okay.
A
I think, like, when people see you, you don't ever have, like, it's always polished.
B
Always. Like, it always be something like me.
A
You know, My wig might be slid back a little bit. Highlighter might be too light, not blended.
C
I'm a happy holiday. You got your mom.
A
They surprised when I'm Polly. Thank God she got it together today. But I think that's what it is about you. Like, when we see you, it's always very much hair laid. This, you know, it's like, very well put together.
B
It's always put together.
A
It's always, thank you, y'all.
C
I really take pride in that. I do. So I appreciate that. Because sometimes I. I think, well, lately I've been noticing. Haven't been going unnoticed, you know, because I'm seeing it way more now. Yeah. But I used to be like, oh, well, you know, that's what they like, you know?
B
Yeah.
C
I don't like what I have to bring to the table. Fine. That's fine. But this is me. This is genuinely me, you know? And like, I told y'all, like, from 15, I. I was buying shoes, you know, I. I like outfits. I sit there and I put this stuff together all day, every day. I know. Oh, I want to have this color next week. Or Best friends, she'll send me a goddamn load of mink Brazilian. Shout out to mink Brazilian.
B
Yeah.
A
She has sent us some hair. I said finally, listen, I'm gonna have that cast off.
B
Yes, it really is. It's the best hair.
A
Yeah.
B
What do I get? Body wave or something?
C
Yeah.
A
You had curly. I had straight. And we had a really big episode to record.
C
We was recording, and y'all waiting for that one.
A
So I went. I got my hair done. I showed up to you.
C
Yeah, okay.
A
Can't talk about me now, bitch.
C
So what did you get at? A quick weave.
A
So I ended up. She gave Me the bundles. And then I ended up ordering a closure. So I had got, like, a little unit made. I still got.
C
I'm about to say them units, listen. Last forever.
A
Hello.
C
Even, like, the burgundy one I just had on, like, probably like a week or so ago. That's a old. I'm talking about, like, two, three years ago. Yes, but I rinsed it. Re rinsed it. Put that boy back on and listen.
A
Fresh goodies.
C
New fresh.
A
I know my hairstylist hate to see me coming with a picture of a cash doll. Give me this. This is what I want.
C
The cash draw.
A
Give me this. I'd be like, give me them bangs. It be the bangs.
B
Give me the bangs.
A
I remember that video she did when you had just got your hair done.
B
Was it the curtain bang, bang, bang.
A
The curtain bang.
C
I said, give me this right now.
A
Give me that right.
C
And you know what? It's also like knowing how to keep it up.
A
Yeah.
C
No, it's a way that you keep your hair up. You have to. If you don't have silk pillowcases and silk sheets, beat it. Yeah, beat it. That cotton gonna dry that hair out. It's gonna make it flat when you lay on it. When you lay on that silk, you won't even get creases in it. You won't even get creases in your hair, like, even if you don't get a chance to put it up.
A
Look, let me get my hair off this couch, okay? Be creasing up for real. Cause take my tips, bitch. I mean, but I think Draya is the same way. Drea, like, y'all remind. Cause Drea, she's very like. But you know what?
C
I already had to deal with DC yesterday. Don't come in here with that.
A
I'm just saying, though. I'm just saying.
C
I'm taking tips, bitch.
A
Look, now I'm taking my tips. Cause y'all Draya know me. I wait, baby. When I get home, I takes the wig off.
C
I ain't keeping it. I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that. I'm actually happy you put her wig.
A
It might be sliding back a bit. Dread be like, we be on stage. She be like, lex. I be like. But I think for me. But I do appreciate women like y'all. Because, like, I was a tomboy growing.
C
Yeah, yeah, me too.
A
But I think y'all being so, like, into it, like, it. It kind of rubs off on me a little bit, you know? And I think that's good for women to see, like, you can have that balance. Like you said, like, it's cool to be polished, but, hey, every time, it ain't gonna hit every time. But work on it. Get it together.
C
Yeah. So that. So it gets to a point where it's always there.
A
It's always there.
C
Cause practice make perfect.
A
I'm 10% cash. Give me that, bitch. I'm coming for nothing.
B
60.
C
What?
A
I'm working on it.
C
I got.
B
She's talking about 10.
C
Cause you know what? I think that when I'm on, I'm so on. That when I'm off, I'm so off.
A
Yeah.
C
Like, I'm talking about. I might just look like, who is that?
A
Yeah.
C
I be. It's like homeless to.
A
Baby.
C
It's no inp between with me. It's homeless to back.
A
I can't say for you, because I haven't seen your homeless look. But her homeless look is giving my bad bitch look, girl. I be like, damn, bitch, you look good. She's like, I'm depressed.
C
I was like, bitch, look good to me.
A
You ate that, bitch.
C
You ate that up. No, see, my homeless is really homeless, okay? Yeah, my homeless is really homeless, girl, if that.
A
I wonder what your homeless look like. Cause if you're homeless, y'all.
B
Cause it probably don't look.
C
It probably look like Jazz, how my homeless look? Look.
A
Dre, I know what my homeless look like.
C
Jalon, what my homeless look like?
B
She like, well, it don't give homeless. I know it don't. I know it don't.
C
Y'all don't understand. Only time it don't give homeless is if my real hair is out and it ain't braided down. Yeah, but when that hair braided down, it's homeless. I don't care what nobody say. I'm not letting them lie to me when their hair is braided up and the wig breaks. Boop, boop. It's giving homeless.
A
Y'all know that scene?
B
What scene?
A
In Cadillac Records when Beyonce was Etta James and she was crying and she had that little short wig, and she was like, that's how I look.
C
Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay.
A
You know, what was that? I can't remember that movie that Queen left.
B
That's cause you be having. She be having her braids, too. But then I don't know what be going on at the front. It just be a whole bunch of hair every be sticking to them. Half Afro, half Afro hair.
C
I'm living.
A
I be having a bob a mohawk on this side.
C
I'm not mad at that, though. Live Your life.
A
Look, I gotta live your truth. Hey, babe, I gotta give y'all what I can give, okay?
C
And just accept it.
A
I think what it is, too. I don't try to dip in other people lane. Like, of course I want to look good, but I know what y'all here for. Y'all here for the joke. If y'all want some makeup tips, y'all. They be looking at the girls. You know, they want some hair tips, they looking at cash doll. If y'all want some jokes, I know what y'all here for.
B
I know what y'all here for.
A
You know, I think everybody can take from everybody in certain arenas, in certain areas. Just know. Just know your lane and stay there.
C
Yeah.
A
You know, you can grow with different things.
C
Cause that's one thing about that damn Kendra. That is a perfectionist.
A
Really. I mean, you can tell she. Her daughter is.
C
Let me tell y'all something about this damn Kendra. I used to be like, I'm outside. We're not going to prom. Come on.
A
Oh, yeah, now?
C
Yes, now. I'm leaving. And then as soon as she come outside, I'm like, I want to be. She be like, you want to see what I got on? No, I want to be surprised.
A
That's great. I start doing this thing when we be, like, out of town and she be getting dressed, I'll just walk out the hotel. Like, I'll stand in the hotel door, just, like, open the door, let her know, like, come on. Come walk out. Like, I can't find my phone. She still be in the mirror, taking her time. I be like, bro, come on. Like, she takes so long to get ready, but it shows.
C

A
That's a black queen right there.
C
Right there.
A
Okay, so, Paul, go ahead.
C
Go ahead.
B
So, of course I did my research. So you went to college for a little bit, Harry.
C
For community college.
B
Yes, I saw that. So what was your pivotal point that made you be like, okay, you know what? I'm not doing this no more. Like, I want to be a performer. That's my dream. I'mma chase my dream and my goal.
C
When you know what? I. I leave. Whatever. Don't serve me no more. And when I'm there and I'm just. I'm forcing myself. Myself. Like, what I tell people, I don't never force myself. I might apply some pressure, right? And I'm not forcing nothing. If it's just not there. It's not There because I'm not going to give it my all no more.
B
Right.
C
And once that left, and I was. I was so into making fast money. I was so into making money. That's all I knew y'all, you know what I'm saying? I was like, nah, this ain't it. This ain't it. And I just, you know, I'm pay people that did do it, right? Because, you know, it's jobs for them, and they're great at what they do.
A
Yeah.
C
It wasn't for me. It's that look, like you said, it's a lane for everybody. I know what's for me, and I would know it ain't.
A
What did you go. What were you trying to go to school for?
C
I did business management.
A
Okay. Okay, that makes sense.

B
Cause who want the smoke?
A
Oh, you are.
B
All right, so in this one, you can have your spirit of choice. You have a little lemon juice, a little grapefruit. I used an UBE syrup, which is made from sweet yam, like a purple yam, so it gives, like, fig vanilla a little flavoring to that. And then we added just a little pinch of butterfly pea droplet. So before we've used the butterfly pea powder, and now we've used some droplets for it. And then I have some pomegranate seeds floating at the bottom. And then we just lit a smoked rosemary sprig just to kind of top it off, and added a little bit of champagne to Drea's and Ms. Cash Dolls.
A
This is so smooth.
B
We got a little bud.
A
We got a little something now.
C
Ah, you did different. Let me get. Let me s me a sip of this. I need we be saying ice y.

C
Oh man.
A
So I have recently. Not recently. I've always seen like when a girl get mad at a man, she runs online, posting stories, posting receipts, she arguing with the other girl, they going back and forth on Instagram, they arguing on Twitter, they posting everything. So I wanted to know yalls thoughts on like crashing out over man, do you feel like sometimes they deserve that and you need to let the world know. Know how he's treating you? Or do y'all believe in just moving on gracefully?
C
I believe in a mixture.
A
Okay. A little balance we're gonna get.
C
We're gonna be a little creative.
B
Yeah.
C
Okay. And this is why I say this. I wouldn't go to the Internet, Okay. Telling all my business, that's one thing. But he gonna know how I feel.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
C
You know, because some people need to know how it. How that makes you feel. It need to impact. You need to leave an impact.
A
Yeah.
C
Some people. For them to change, even. Not even for me. Me, for the next.
A
Right.
C
For the next person you get, that's of some type of value, you need to know not to do that.
B
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? Or for the next woman, you know, your. Your kids or whoever. You need to learn from that. Because I feel like moving on gracefully. People take advantage of that if they're not a good person. That's true. Yeah.
A
That's.
C
You know what I'm saying? You're moving on gracefully. They'll take advantage, like, okay, yeah, cool. Next victim.
A
Right. But you know what I also feel, too. I feel like even if you don't move on gracefully, we will see a man dog out a woman that we, you know, like, we can see what's going on. Maybe he cheated on her. Maybe he trapped her. Whatever the case may be.
C
Whatever the case may be.
A
But there still be women that be like, oh, I don't care. He used to fuck with Cash dog. I'm finna get on.
C
Oh, yeah, okay.
A
Oh, I feel like they not gonna.
B
Have the same result.
A
Yeah. Oh, he used to fuck with Dre. I'm finna talk to him.
C
I don't care what he motherfucking luck. Come after me.
A
I know that's right.
C
Good luck, Buk. Good luck. That's all I gotta say.
A
That's what's crazy. Cause it's like, that's why I feel like sometimes I feel like I understand a crash out. Cause it's like, I'm a Leo. I'm a fire.
B
People be having that fucked up, though.
A
Yes.
C
I'm not against Crash now.
A
Right.
C
Let's be 100% clear.
A
Yeah.
C
Cause when people do crash, I'd be like, that's how you felt on that shit. It is what it is. You can't take it back now, moving forward, how would you handle it? You know what I'm saying? You see how that made you feel, that you crashed out, you know? Cause even when I announced my break, you Know, some people was like, you don't even do that. You don't come in the Internet. And it was like, I felt like that at the time. I don't take it back. And it is what it is.
B
Yeah.
A
And you know what? I feel, too, like I wouldn't count you, like, what you did as a crash show. I feel like you were just letting the people know, because I was wondering what was going on.
C
What was going on? You know what I'm saying? I didn't go on there and say, yeah, my baby daddy this. And he this. Da, da, da, da, da. Or this. What happened? And this is the bitch. And I didn't do all that. It was just. I'm just gonna. And get away from.
A
The cash commandments, too.
C
Cash.
B
Like, that's why they filling me up with this champagne.
C
Yeah. Cause now I'm about to just tell it off it, you know. But not. Not.
A
No, I get what you were saying. I get what you were saying.
C
It was just we. Me and my baby dad, we just, you know, I think we just grew apart.
A
Yeah.
C
And that happened, you know, And I. We really. It's healthy. We graceful. I just want him to be a great dad to my kids. That's it. At this point, you know, I don't think we just mentally are in the same.
A
Yeah. Sometimes that happens. And I think a lot of people look at it like, oh, it's a bad thing. But if you are a person who is spiritual and emotionally intelligent, you're constantly growing.
C
Yeah.
A
And another person is constantly growing. But y'all may be growing, like, in.
B
Two different ways instead of growing like this.
C
Yes.
A
And that's okay. But I won't count at what you did as a crash. I was like, okay. And I think, too, it's important for people to see. Cause I feel like this. I don't know you personally. This is the first time I've ever met you. But being somebody who's like, a fan of yours and I, you know, watch your social media. I feel like you handled it the right way. And women need to see that. Yeah.
C
And I kept going. I didn't. Yeah. I'm even showing them. Yeah. And I'm not sure. I'm not acting like I don't give a fuck.
B
Right.
C
I'm hurt.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
C
I'm hurt. I had two kids with somebody.
A
Right.
C
I thought that that was going to be it. You know what I'm saying? Of course, I didn't want it to go that way.
B
Right.
C
I wouldn't have had the kids Right. You know what I'm saying? So. So I'm not about to be the bitch on there and trying to act tough and. No, my heart got broken too. I'm human like you.
A
Yeah.
C
Things happen. Time. It's time to go on, you know, and it's no hard feelings.
A
Right.
C
I'm not trying to do nothing to tarnish that, man. None of that. You know, it is what it is.
A
It's crazy because I was having a conversation with my friend the other day and she's going through a breakup or whatever and she was telling me, she was like, yeah, I'm going out tomorrow. I'm going outside. But I went out last night. It don't make me feel better, but I just wanna be like, you know, show him that I'm outside. I'm not bothered. I'm having fun. I said, this is the problem.
B
Cause you shouldn't be going out to show him nothing. If you try to move on, if.
A
You'Re trying to really heal.
C
Yes.
B
Heal.
A
Yes. Lay inside and cry and get it.
C
Out and let you. And be honest. Be vulnerable. It's okay.
A
Yes.
C
You know, how many other people can relate to that? Everybody's not. Fake talk. It's okay. You got your heart broken. You got let down. You got cheated on, too. You got this. It's okay. Yeah, it's okay. Life goes on. He'll face the problem. Face it. Don't drink it. Don't get drunk with it.

B
But then it hit different too, than in the club. Then when you in the car and then come on. Cause you would be in the car like this.

It's like that's when it's out of sight, out of mind. And I'm focusing on healing and. And facing what. What. What did God want to teach me in this situation? What? Because everything is a lesson. Lesson. Everything that happens to you, that. That touches you, that hurts you, or they even make you happy. It's like. It's lessons in every blessing, you know, And I'd be learning. I'd be trying to focus on what. What is God trying to teach me?
A
Yes.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
B
Well, no, I was going to ask you. So are you one of those people, when you done with a relationship, you done like, you absolutely not spending the block, or do you be spending the block?
C
Okay, first off, I'm five six.
A
Okay.
C
Do I spend a block? I haven't.
B
You haven't?

I heard that yet. Under your breath.

B
Okay.
C
I do like familiar. Well, I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna say I ain't spin a block. I ain't about to say I spin a block because the block gets spun.
A
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying?
A
Rubbing that little. Them little curls.
C
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not talking about.
B
I wasn't talking about him.
C
I'm just talking. I'm staying in general, y'all. God damn it, y'all.
A
It's the cash commandment. I'm sorry.
C
No, don't try to blame it on the cash commandment.
B
She said this ain't got to do with me.
A
I didn't say that neither.
C
I. I hate that.
A
Hold on, bitch.
C
You know what?
A
God damn it.
C
It's in general. Okay?
A
Okay.
C
The block can get spun. It can sometimes from a certain level of where I was at in my life when I dated you, because it's certain quality.
A
Yeah. And it's got to be a certain amount of growth, right?
C
Yeah. That happened when we were apart. So I could give you. The conversation isn't what you with it.
A
Okay.
C
You know what I'm saying? But I am a free agent, all right? I'm not talking about nobody in specific. Nobody. No. I'm just having a good time.
A
Okay, that's fair.
B
She focused on her. She focused on healing, on growing.
C
Healing. You know what I think? I mean. Well, whatever. I don't know.
A
Like you said, it kind of is what it is. It's a process, and you have to take it day by day, you know? And I think that's what I'm learning, too, because, like, I went through. Through a horrible breakup before and it was just like, it was really life changing for me because even now in my new relationship, I just move different. And I know there's certain things that I can accept. I know what I can and I cannot handle, and I know how to move accordingly. But I also know, like, my faith is so strong, what's meant for me is not gonna miss me.
C
Exactly. And I see how I said you always learn something.
A
Yes.
C
You learn something for every relationship.
A
Yes.
C
Just learn how to move forward. You learn how. Okay, you learn what you want now. You learn what you don't want. You know, you learn what you can tolerate. You learn what. Because now you'd have been through you. And experience is the best teacher.
A
Yeah.
C
I don't feel like, you know, somebody's telling you things. Somebody that you really look up to. Yeah. That could teach you, too. But when you actually feel that.
A
Yeah.
C
It's a difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think that that's why I said what you said. Like, you know, you gotta go through the process. And that's when you figure out that is a deal breaker.
A
Yeah.
C
That I can deal with as long as. Or he has to be like this. Right. And that's when you get to your husband. It's practice. It's like you get to your husband by going through. And it sounds crazy, but we're here. We're human. We have feelings. Feelings are meant to be hurt. People are meant to be date. Money is meant to be spent. Years is meant to be had. You know what I'm saying? That's life. Right. But through that process, you learn what you want in that one, that husband.
A
You gonna be a good wife.
C
Yeah. You think so?
A
I really do. I feel like you're very, like, centered. And I think one thing, like I said, me being somebody who has followed your career for a while, you put your kids first.
C
That's it.
A
You show up.
C
Oh.
A
You know what I'm saying? And I can see that in certain mothers. Cause that's how my mom was. I didn't realize my mom was a human until she passed away. Because it was always, like, put up this super woman. She was a superwoman. And I think it's important now as I get older, like, whenever I do have children, I do want to show them, like, you know, mommy's a human. But I do want to be that superwoman for them.
C
Yeah.
A
Especially in the younger years. I think that's important. And so even throughout this whole, like, breakup that you've been going through, it's like, we still See, you being a great mother and smiling are always smiling.
C
And that's the thing.
A
Yeah.
C
People make relationships their life.
B
Yes, they do.
C
That's not your life. That's another part of your life. Right. You have to prioritize everything in your life. And, you know, it's like everything. You can't neglect these. Because if I neglected that, my kids would show. It was show. You know what I'm saying? So it's like you have to prioritize everything in your life. And that wasn't just my life. It was a part of my life, and I did give a lot to it. But, you know, when it. When it's gone, it's not a big void that you have to feel when you prioritize everybody. My best friend relationship, my mother and my sisters and my son and my business, all of it was so prioritized. Well, to where. When that void is gone, I'm not just lost.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
C
I'm not lost.
A
Yes.
C
Because I don't have nothing else to do. Everything is important to me, not just this person, because that's who I'm from.
B
Because you prioritize all of the.
C
All of the relationships. Like I said earlier, you gotta nurture all your relationships because it's important.
A
Yes.
C
And because when this. Go now what? Now you running back to everybody that you want? No. You got to prioritize that. So now it's not. And I'm not acting like I don't care about a relationship because I don't want to give him so much, you know, because it is what it is and it's where it's at. But when, like, you know, you going through these things, it's so important to just. It is what it is.
A
Yeah.
C
And everything else, you know, gonna stay.
A
But I'm glad you said that too, because we were talking about crashing out on men. And a lot of times I see a lot of women are crashing out over men because they're also their support system. So it's also important. We say this all the time because we used to talk about on the show, getting the bdb. Catching the bdb. A big, big ball.
C
Okay. Okay. Bdb.
A
Bdb.
C
Where they get.
A
Believe. You should have a man in your.
B
Life that has what? A bdb.
A
Bdb. You should have you a bdb.
C
Alphabet boy.
A
Okay. Always. But as we grew and our careers grew and we started getting in situations where we were able to walk away because I got my own baby. I'm not crashing. A lot of these women are crashing out because they need they rent.
B
They want to live that you crashing out over. I always feel like if you get to a level of crash out, you really love that. N. Like, no.
A
A lot of times people are confident.
C
Okay, so what is crash out?
B
I crash out one time on the Internet one time, and I remember that.
C
Ever crash out?
B
I'll never do it again.
A
She disrespected you first.
B
Yeah. The girl. Okay.
C
You look like somebody too.
B
Who I look like?
A
I know what she gonna say. I'm.
B
I want to see if she gonna say what everybody say.
C
Give me. Let's keep talking. Okay.
B
It's always two people.
C
But don't say it. Mostly don't say it. Don't say it.
B
I'm not gonna say who it is.
C
But mostly one person, cuz I think it's Jada.
A
Yeah, that's what everybody sees. Everybody.
C
It's like a, A, B. Simone and the Jada. But y'all beautiful. Y'all, Y'all own person. Y. Y'all only person. They'll get me wrong, but I'm looking at you, and as you talking, I'm like, who is she? Okay, so she looked like somebody. I know.
B
It's so funny too, because we just went on Jada and Dead's podcast, Act Normal a few weeks ago.
C
Yeah.
B
And girl, the comments. Because people already be under our comments saying it all the time. People already be under her comments saying that all the time. But when they finally seen us both on camera.
C
Yeah.
B
At the same time, that's all the comments were saying.
C
Okay, yeah, no, beautiful. I'm not going there upstairs.
B
Really?
C
Yeah.
B
Okay.
A
Have a good time.
C
Okay, cool.
B
But yes, I was saying I crashed out one time on the Internet over this dude that I was going with, but he lied to me about some stuff. And then this girl that he was dating, I found out she was like, dirty making on me like she had got. She had got cool with this girl that I knew. Dirty work was finding out stuff that I was telling the girl that I thought I was friends with about him was going back, telling him. Then he was lying to me about his relationship with her. So, girl, when we first started this podcast, it was probably like 2018. I did. We did an episode and I talked about the. And I said his name and everything. I said the bitches names. I was going in, I was saying everybody. I was saying everybody ain't mind you. Back then, nobody was listening to the show. We probably had like a thousand listeners, if that. So I obviously ended up going and deleted it. But I really crashed out over that. And I regretted it afterwards because although I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish in the moment because my feelings were hurt and I called everybody out and I made everybody look stupid. That's not even my character though. Like I'm not even the type of person that move like that. I don't like people in my business. I'm super private. So the fact that I let that situation take me to that place. Yeah, I regretted it. I was like, why the did I do that? Because I gave baby you power. Like I showed you how much you affected.
C
Exactly. And that's why when she asked me that earlier, I said it's a mixture of crashing out and. But it's like crashing out where that can feel.
B
Yeah.
C
The Internet, they ain't going to do nothing but spread your business.
A
And me talking about it. Cuz I be messy, I be on tik tok talking about everybody that going to feel it.
C
Yeah. Now if anything, I crash on a and he take it to the Internet. That's you. You did that?
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
C
You going to feel it though.
B
Yeah.
A
But the reason.
B
And that's normally how I was too. But I don't know. I was just so mad it was.
C
Her because you got played away a bitch telling your business that you thought was cool. Him her you ain't knowing what's going on. You know, it's you human.
B
Have you ever dated somebody that like you was curving them for a little.
C
Bit and then you finally get this motherfucker the time of the day.
B
Like I feel like they got a vendetta against you. Like they be out for blood. That happened to me and I situation.
C
Why is. Why is people so up and intentionally is so wrong? Like why would you come to my life if you knew that you were coming to get me?
A
Yes.
B
Chaos.
C
Like why would you do that? Just because I didn't.
B
Just because I didn't like. Because I used to curve him at first but it wasn't like on no mean shit.
C
It was just.
B
I really didn't think I was interested. Then I finally was like okay. Cause he started applying a little pressure and I was like okay.
C
You can never ignore the pressure. You can applied. I love when the pressure being applied please anybody that even think coming this way, please apply some pressure. Cause that I don't hear it. I don't, I don't see it. I don't know.
A
Right.
B
I'm telling you exactly. Because I was like, okay, let me give him a little shot. And then I did. And then boom.
C
And he played it's cool. I know. He.
A
But in the long run, how the story ended up. You got the last laugh. Well, yeah.
B
Cause this is like 60. This was a while ago. This is like six years ago.
C
But. Yeah.
A
But the reason I was going back to saying, like, the crash house, like, on the other. Other side of it, a lot of women crash out because they still want to live that lifestyle that the man is providing.
C
You think that's what it is? It's something you got 50. 50, right. But most of the time, in most cases, when that show livelihood.
A
Yeah, yeah.
C
When you can't get them bags, everybody wearing them shoes, everybody wearing. Keep your hair and nails done. Like everybody. Well, you know, a lot of people live for the Internet. A lot of people ain't out here getting out the mud and living how they need to live on their own. You know, they're living for everybody else's approval.
B
Right.
C
So when they don't have that no more, that validation no more, they feel.
A
Like they have nothing or the nigga.
C
That got the bag. Don't let them be somebody. That's somebody. They're crashing out.
A
They're crashing out.
C
They ain't bowing out gracefully. Because how are you bowing out gracefully?
A
How women.
B
What was graceful about?
C
That's chaos.
A
I mean, we're seeing women that be in whole relationships with married men.
C
Exactly, exactly. We're seeing that to get things material.
B
Give a certain aesthetic.
A
I'm telling you, they are crashing out certain aesthetic.
C
And that's why it's so important for women to have their own no matter what. Listen, I'm not saying go date a man that don't have nothing because you have your own. No. You know, whatever he do is like. Plus, it's like the cake and the ice cream, the dessert.
B
Right.
C
Don't let that be your bread and butter. And don't let that be how you eat. Don't let that be the only thing. You know what I'm saying? Only time that could be the case is if that's your husband.
B
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? As if it's your husband and you that you fell off for a minute or whatever the case may be, because life happens, y'all. We are not always going to have it all. You know, we might, you know, but don't let no man be the reason you're eating, because he's going to be the reason you're starving.
A
Come on.
C
That was a flat out. That's just flat out. And there's nothing wrong with a man taking care Of a woman neither. Because we're. That's another conversation I would love for men. I love for a man to take care of me. That made me feel real.
A
No, no.
C
I love it there. I love it there.
A
Right. But you never gonna stop working.
C
But I'm not about to stop doing me. And also when that man take care of me like that, I wanna have my own. So when it's my time to show out for him for his special occasions, I can. You know what I'm saying? Or you want to reciprocate energy these.
A
Days, you know, 1,000%.
C
And I think that's where women go wrong. They look at. They get a man with some money, they get comfortable. Yeah. Now they don't want to work no more. Now they don't have their going no more. Whole time. The reason he was attracted to you because you had your together too. And he felt like he could build with somebody. And sometimes he want the reciprocated energy too. Men might not say this, but they want to feel special too. They want to feel good too. And me, I love to spoil the I ain't going lie. Yeah, I like a little cute stuff. Especially if you make my life easier. If you make it. You making me feel good. You making me feel all girly. You making. You making me want to post these type of pictures. And with this caption like my. Of course I want to reciprocate the energy. I want you to feel good. Like damn, my girl for my birthday, she just. Yeah, she did her and I have to give a dime.
A
That's true.
C
You know, but not all the time. Cuz men will get it up. And now they think they the woman. But you know that they last day.
B
That's the problem.
C
But it's like on those special occasions make it real masculine for them. You know what I'm saying? Where they can live in a masculine energy. And you live in your feminine. Yes.
A
Get your bag ladies. That's what we always.
B
You gotta get your own money. You gotta be able to take care of yourself. But you know what? I do think some men like that though. They like women who don't like. They like to take advantage of them.
C
Yeah.
B
Too the Crash show.
C
Yeah. They like to be like man, I got this. Losing her mind. Look at her. She.
A
Look Dory, don't be the manipulative type, man. Like they.
C
You don't want them anyway.
A
Yeah, but what do we call that earlier when we were talking about that type of abuse. Reproductive abuse.
B
Oh yeah.
A
We were talking about how a Lot of times, men. Another one.
B
Thank you.
C
No, no, no, no, no. I said you did your big one.
A
But we were talking about how men will literally, like, get a woman pregnant. Not because, you know he values you, but he wants to trap you.
C
Yeah.
A
He wants to have access to you.
C
Yes. He want to have access to you for the rest of his life.
A
And a lot of women be like, oh, girl, he want to get me pregnant. He love me. He love me. And it's like, y'all better pay attention to them signs and listen to what these men be saying because they going to show you. Any man that doesn't want a woman to work as far as. Because he wants to control you. Financial abuse is real. That's somebody who is manipulating you because they want you to depend on them. A real man is to be like, okay, I've been taking care of my wife or my girlfriend, whatever the situation may. Well, babe, what do you want to do? Is there anything that I can invest or help you with? Like what. What are your dreams and aspirations? You know what I'm saying? That's what a real man want to.
C
Do because he know that, you know, when you get up and do things on your own outside of your like. And like we said what I was saying earlier, having all these different relationship, nurturing all these different relationships, and not just that one. When you have your own thing that you putting your all into every day, it makes you feel good. Like, this is mine, you know, let me go. This is my craft. This is what I'm working on outside of my husband's. Because, you know, us women, we're superwoman. We got to help everything. Yeah, but it's like, I have my own. And a man that's of any type of value, understand that. You need that.
A
Yeah.
C
You need your own thing that you are putting your all into every day that you, you know, blood, sweat and tears into and. And nurturing every day to. When it's growing you like, damn, she's really doing her thing.
B
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? I think that real men of value, though, quality men, key words, understand that. And it's such a big difference. A man that have money, that don't make him valuable.
A
Well, we just talked about that.
C
Don't make him valuable. A man that have status don't make him valuable.
B
Yeah.
C
I feel like the inside makes you a valuable person. The way you look at other women, your morals, you know what I'm saying? You're having dignity, integrity. Can he even tell you the truth right you know what I'm saying? Because some oil. Do he pray?
B
Do he. Do he pray?
C
What? Now that is a super turn on. Yeah, man.
B
Tell you I prayed for you, or y'all pray together.
C
We pray together.
A
That'd be like a. Y'all know, that's like a green flag for me. Like, if we're on the first day and they bring out the food and like, he. He prayed because I'm gonna pray. I always, you know, pray over. So that's like a big green flag. Like, especially if it's the first day, because, you know, you're not 100 comfortable. It's yalls first time hanging out.
C
But if you're kind of like, yeah, like, okay, yeah, he crazy.
A
Like, that goes to show, like, you're serious and. Because I know a lot of times people feel uncomfortable praying in front of other people or whatever the case may be. So that'd be like a big green flag. I'd be like, okay, yeah.
C
And it's like, even after they pray, it's like, okay, I can loosen up a little bit.
A
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? And make you feel like I could be a little comfortable. Comfortable. Yeah.
A
Like, he prayed.
C
Big green. Okay, big green.
A
You want to bring in the next.
B
So now we're gonna get into the second topic. We wanted to talk about women who want to have a kid, but they fear being a single mom. Do you feel like that's a logical fear or good fear?
C
No, you can't have no fear of having kids.
A
I agree.
C
You don't have to have. You don't supposed to have fear. Fearing kids is not the same thing. They don't supposed to be in the same sentence.
A
Okay.
C
That is a blessing.
B
Yes.
C
A kid is a blessing. Regardless if you going to be with a man or not. That is a blessing. Don't even intertwine them with the two, cuz whether that man is there or not, you're going to always. You're going to always be that kid's mom.
B
Right?
C
No matter what.
B
Yep.
C
So I would never, ever. I couldn't even say fear in my kid's name in the same sentence. I was never scared. Of course. I, you know, I thought about, oh, am I going to be with him? Am I just going to be a baby mama? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, you know, because you want to get married. You want all of your. Your kids and your man and you to have the same last name. Of course y'all are one, you know, That's a thought.
B
Yeah.
C
No, I don't think you should ever go into a situation because whether you a wife, you can get a divorce.
A
Yeah.
C
Whether you're just a baby mama, whether you're just a single mom, you're going to be a mom.
B
Yep.
C
Regardless. Like, take all those titles away, you're that kid's mom.
B
I agree. That's what I was gonna say. I agree with you 100. Everything you said is literally how I feel about it. I feel like as a woman, you should have a kid for no other reason than wanting to be a mother. Because regardless of what happens, if you really have the desire, and that's really a desire of you. Your heart to be a mother, regardless of what happens with that man, you going to be okay with your decision.
C
Listen, I wake up and I see Clarity smile. First off, she's so damn goofy. And she looks like. She looks like her dad.
A
Yeah.
C
And I still be like, this is my baby, my little dog. You know, it don't makes me feel no time she looks like her dad.
B
Yeah.
C
You know, and it's like, no, those are my babies. Those my babies. I don't give a what happened in this world. I do whatever behind them.
A
For me, it's not necessarily that I'm scared that the relationship won't work out or like, oh, he's not going to be around. The fear of can I do it? Am I able to do it? Will I be strong? Because I know like, things that I deal with personally. And sometimes I'll be having moments where I shut the fuck down if, you know, it's okay.
C
Crazy with them kids. Boo.
A
Yeah.
C
They give you a whole nother level of goddamn superwoman like, them kids you like. I can't.
A
Yeah.
C
I can't let them down. Like, when you lay eyes on that first child of yours, it's like you get a whole new set of eyes.
A
Yeah.
C
It's like now you just like you become this woman that can do everything. Can do everything. I ain't cooked before I had castron for real, baby. Really?
A
I know that's right.
C
I wasn't in the kitchen until I seen. Till I seen my snooker. When I look lay eyes on my schnook.
A
I did not know that.
C
I'm in the kitchen like, okay, let me bake him some food. Cause he needs a little bit of nutrient. Them nuts ain't cutting it at women's every day. Let me go get him some string beans. Some mashed potato I got sticking my baby on up. What my little snook on.
A
Oh, my God, that is Hilarious.
C
Never was in the kitchen until I had me decashion.
A
Okay.
C
Yes. I'm telling you, like, that when them. You feel like you could do anything. Anything.
A
And I. And I. And I hear you, and I get that, but, like, that's what I said. Like, I'm like. Like how it clicked for you.
C
Yeah. And.
A
But it's like, what if it doesn't click for me?
C
It is.
A
You know what I'm saying?
C
Trust me. You're a woman of God.
A
Yeah, it is.
C
He got you.
B
And you just in a woman, too. Like, I just feel like, as a.
C
Woman, you want me a farm.
B
We're supposed to be, like, we're mean, to be nurturers. Like, she's going to be up.
C
She's going to be a farm right now.
A
It's crazy because every time, like, I have two nephews, and I pretty much, like, raised my smaller nephew until I had to move to Atlanta.
C
And you going have a boy.
A
I know. I feel like that, too. You think so?
B
Don't put that on me.
C
Yes. You know, cuz.
B
You know, when I was younger, if people go back to old episodes of the show, I used to always say all I wanted was boys. But now, as I get older, I just want to have a healthy baby.
C
Yeah. That's what I said when I first got pregnant. I was like, I want a healthy.
A
But you got it perfectly.
C
You did. Boy and a girl.
A
I'm a boy.
C
I'm. I'm a boy girl.
B
Yeah.
C
You know, I'm not a boy mom or just a girl mom. I'm both. I'm like a hood princess. Yeah.
A
And I guess that's what it is. Like, I know I'm good with children. Like, children always love me. Like, it can be a complete stranger. Like, I remember one time, my best friend, one of her friends has a kid, and whenever we were going out to eat, she was like, y'all chicken? They call her chickens. She in a bad mood. Y'all, please just don't. She, like, she don't go to nobody. I know she's rude. So y'all, please. That girl came straight to. And she was just like. She was like. Her mom was like, oh, my God. Like, so I always have a way with children, and I always feel like, okay, I do want that. But it be like something in the back of my mind. Like, I said, it's not about the man or if we're gonna be together, because things happen. Like, my dad passed away, and he wasn't able to be there. My mom had To. It's not even about if we.
C
Yeah.
A
So it's not even about if we break up. It's more so of if the worst of the worst happens and I have to stand on my own, too, by myself. Myself. Can I show up every day?
C
You know, you're going to effortlessly. And later on, once you have your babies, you're going to be like, how did I even think I couldn't. Like, girl, it's going to happen.
A
Okay.
C
Yeah.
A
All right. I'm trusting y'all, cuz like I said, I'mma be what they call it, a G pregnancy. I'm be about 4 to 5 on my girl. 45. Well, I'm 35, so by the time.
C
You got time, you, you. I mean, I do have next five years.
A
That's why.
C
Next.
A
By the time I get pregnant, hopefully I'm like, if I do want to have a kid within like, the next two years, but, you know, after. What is it, 35.
B
It's after. No, it's after 35.
A
A Geatric pregnancy.
B
Geriatric.
A
Geriatric. Sorry, what that means.
B
It means.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
My. My societal standards. By medical standards. Yeah. At 35. Once you hit 35, you're old. Like, considered old when you get pregnant. Yeah. My doctor was more risky.
C
It's more risky. Yeah. Yeah.
A
My doctor's like, what you gonna do? Barbecue a mildew? Girl, you better get out.
C
I knocked both of mine off. I said, boop, boop. Yeah, I'm done.
B
And that's what I was gonna ask you, like, did you feel any pressure to have kids as you was getting older? Cause, like, I'm 33 and I be feeling that way. What she said about being 35, like, I'm like, oh, I gotta have a baby before I hit 35.
C
Because. Well, that's why I did, like, because, you know, once I met my child's father.
B
Huh.
C
And I got pregnant, I was like, I'm not. I'm having my baby.
B
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? I am getting of age.
B
Yeah.
C
And I'm getting up through there. I ain't going back. I'm going up. Yeah. So let me go ahead. I'm having. I'm having this.
A
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? And then it happened again, and I was like, okay, yeah. You know, here it go.
A
Are you done having kids or you want more?
C
I'm done.
A
Okay.
C
I'm done. I don't want anymore. I got a boy and a girl. I don't want anymore. I asked my mom After I have my girl, I said, why you keep going? My mom had me first. I'm a girl. That my brother right after me. He's a. He's a boy.
A
Yeah.
C
And we're 11 months apart. Like, me and my brother. She spit them out back. My mama went crazy, and it was like, damn, mom, why did you keep going? You had a boy. You had a girl. Why? She was like, I just. I enjoyed my kids, and I wanted to continue. And I was just like, you're crazy. Because once I got my. Once I had my son, I was like, I want a girl. And when I found out Clarity was a girl, I was ecstatic because I said, listen, I'm never pushing nothing.
A
I know. And it's like, that's perfect because, you know, you always want the boy to be older.
C
Yeah, you got it good. I got it good. God don't play about me.
A
He really don't.
C
He do not play about me. I love God. It's God you want.
A
Love that God.
C
What's wrong? I think it's God and my dad.
A
Yeah.
C
My dad been with me through this whole journey. He's always been there. He died on my first birthday, so I always feel like since then, he's always been one of my spiritual angels, and he takes very good care of me.
A
That's how I feel, too.
B
I feel that way about my dad, too. Like, I always feel like I feel his presence around me, and he always up there doing his big.
C
My dad be doing his big.
B
He be doing his big one. Okay.
C
I love him.
A
Yes. That's like our garden guardian angel. I definitely feel like that is real.
C
And that's crazy, because it's like, you know, you can have your dad here. Of course I would love to be with my dad here.
B
Yeah.
C
But it's like, my dad is spiritual, and he protects me spiritually, and that's like a big guardian. Yeah, like your daddy.
B

C

So, of course, you know, we're talking about pregnancy and all those beautiful things. So we wanted to talk about having sex post pregnancy and how that is. Cause, you know, everybody, you know, we know they're supposed to say, like, you know, you gotta wait six weeks and you gotta heal and all this stuff, but we wanna know the realty. Like, how is sex after the baby? Do you really way.
B
Like you said, do you feel different? Does it feel different?
A
Because I know a lot of times women be saying they don't even feel sexy afterwards and they not. They don't be in the mood.
C
Like, it's something about me that I feel like I'm that bitch at all times. It's. I don't know where I get this from. I don't know even When I'm big and pregnant, y'all be feeling like I'm her. Like, I don't care. Like.
B
Cause you is, period.
C
I be feeling like that. So it's like, it's always great.
A
It's always like.
B
It's always good.
A
Now, did you wait the six weeks, though? Cause you just.
C
I didn't even. Man, y'all know what? I ain't even really did much. Like, I meant my baby daddy once. I ain't gonna lie. It wasn't even that. Yeah, okay. This time around, it wasn't even that.
A
Okay, that's fair enough. That's fair enough. Cause I guess that's my fear, too. Like, having a baby, naturally. I don't know what you mean. Like, naturally through the. I might do a little C section. I feel, like, screw my body up 13 times anyway.
B
But I feel like our bodies are meant for that. Like, if.
A
Why are you like this?
B
Gonna snap back.
A
I'm just afraid.
C
Why is you like this?
B
The fact that she cut us over.
A
I done did the lipo, the bbl, the titties been chopped, girl. I done did everything. I ain't scared.
C
Hold on with you.
A
Cut him out. Cut him out.
B
Hey, cut him out.
C
Just go ahead. I do surgery. Get it over with. You don't want to go through the pain of Christian.
A
It's not even, like, the pain. I'm just like. It just seems like a lie. And, like, my mom would always tell me the story about how I ripped her and she had to get stitches and my head was big. I do not want to rip and go through that.
C
But then I also hurt. Heard. Wait, that after you had the bitch. She's so silly.
A
What?
C
I be a little scared, too, that they can sew you back up and then make it tighter.
B
That's what I heard, too, to be honest.
C
Yeah. I don't know. Cause I ain't gonna tell y'all how I had my kids.
A
Right? Right? Right.
C
I. I don't know.
A
That's not obvious. Is that not obvious?
C
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they could have tightened you up. Not at that motherfucker back like this.
A
Oh. Or you tight me out.
C
Tight me out.
B
Not that.
A
But I be like, I want a doctor if I do a little C section. You can tuck that tummy while you in there.
B
Okay. No.
C
Okay. I don't think that.
B
That's the tummy.
C
Tuck it. You gotta go.
A
You gotta go.
B
She gots to go. You gotta give A tummy tuck at the same incision.
A
You gotta go tuck it. It's the same incision, but it's damn near.
C
But you. You can't tuck it yet. You gotta heal, man. All your. All your. Everything on the inside's been moved by the baby. You can't go get a tuck right after that. And I hate when people go around playing like celebrities be doing. Stop. You gotta heal, man. Them insides is pushed. Clarity was 8 pounds and 4 ounces. That little girl pushed everything away. Yeah, okay, well, I feel it's already.
A
Pushing, pushing the rest of it out.
C
No, no, no, girl, you need your inside. You need your take out a little real. Are you okay?
B
Take out a little take a little real.
C
Why are you this way?
B
I'm just saying, like, let's just do it all at one time.
C
Let's get.
B
Cause I don't do it anyway.
C
I'm about to go get my body done anyway.
A
They be like, what you doing next week? I'm probably gonna deliver. I'll get my body.
B
Two birds, one stone.
C
Do you work out?
A
Yes, I do.
C
Okay.
A
I am.
C
Working out is the best. Like, shout out to the king of fitness.
A
Yes.
C
Working out is the best thing to do. Like, especially when you're going through postpartum.
A
Yeah.
C
Yeah. It's not even just for the physical, for the mental.
A
I'm not gonna lie. That has helped help my mental so much work.
C
And they think. They just always think of the physical. Like, go work out and see how that really makes you feel like in the inside. You know what I'm saying? Especially when you dealing with postpartum, like, it's not easy. Yeah, it's not easy. And just to be able to cope with life, coping with your kids and having to be there 24 hour all day, every day and coping with your career and everything, things that come with men and whatever the case may be, you being social media, your podcast, you have to get in that gym, eating right. Like that shit makes you feel better, genuinely in the inside, not just look better. See, people go for the physical.
A
Yeah, yeah.
C
It's way deeper than that.
B
It's a mental.
A
It is.
C
It's way deeper.
B
It's very.
A
But I do want to ask you that because you did say, like, you know, you always felt like you were that girl and things like that. So after. Because I feel like people always say the second baby is the hardest. So how did. But how did you feel about yourself? Because, like, you're known for being super fine. Body, teeth, everything. Yes. You have a Fire body. Oh, but that's what I'm saying. So after the second baby, like, after Clarity, how did you feel about your body? Like, how did you feel when you looked at yourself in the mirror? Cause I know a lot of women struggle after pregnancy looking at themselves that second.
C
I ain't gonna lie. Clarity did me dirty. Yeah, I'm whooping her ass when I get home. But no, Clarity, she did me in. She did me in. Um, But I don't know. It's a mental thing. I don't know if it's my dad. I don't know if it's God. I don't know what it is. But it's mentally me, like, all right, let me get myself back to where I would like to be. It's motivation. Yeah, it's motivation. As I'm sitting there looking at myself, you know, I'm like, okay, I don't have stretch marks, thank God.
A
Ooh, you.
B
That's hereditary, though. You know how they say that?
C
Yeah, but my mom.
B
I Don't your mom have them?
C
Yeah, she do. She gonna be like, why you talking about business?
B
My mom got them too. That's why I be a little nervous.
C
Yeah. But I don't want this to happen. All about how active you are. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I stayed working. But I do say that like, I was just looking at myself and it was motivation. It was motivation. It was like, let me just get myself together. And it was just. It's a mental thing. Some people mental is just not as strong. It's like, you know, mental health is real.
A
It is.
C
It's. It's very real. You have to. It got to put it in there first. Like, I don't know how to explain how blessed I am as having a mental of knowing that. All right, I gotta get myself together. I'm not happy there. You know what I'm saying? And I just got in the gym.
A
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? And. Or even when I couldn't get in the gym, I put my body shapers on. Put my f. Highs on, you know, like, just preparing myself to be back her.
A
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? It's like you kind of gotta. You kind of manifest it. You have to manifest you. If your body not looking right, you have things to put. Make your body look right.
B
Just getting out the house too. Cuz like, I think so many women right after they have kids, they be so consumed with this new life, and then they just be in a house.
C
You need some Give yourself grace. Give yourself a few weeks. That the six weeks is pushing it. But me, I don't know about everybody else, cuz they was all like, you're already outside. You just had a baby. Shut the up mind be for me. Them like them two, three weeks I sat. I was in the crib. I was in a crib. I had my feet up. And I. I bonded with my child and bonded with my other child to get used to. All right, this is us now. Not just you no more. That was important to me. And when I felt like it, it's like, okay, every now and then I'll get out and go get me a little drink, you know, Because I haven't had one in nine months, right? I'll get out, go shop a little bit for things that I'll buy. Some I know I can't fit. Like, I'm getting motivation. And hang that up. I will hang that up outside my closet so I can see it every day. I'mma get it.
A
You know what?
C
I'm. I'm gonna get it in the dress I bought this time, it was like $3,500, y'all. I'm like.
A
I ain't say that. I got it, bitch. I'mma be at Target. A fashion, no verb.
B
See, and that ain't no motivation. That's the problem.
C
Cause you don't wanna waste your money. Now, look, I wanna order. So if you order it in the.
A
Large, I'm gonna say, fuck this. I want this.
C
No, no, no. Ordering. Ordering a medium.
A
Come on now.
C
But I ordered. I ordered the dress.
B
And I'm aware that's good motivation, but.
C
I ordered a dress and I spent that type of money on it. Cause I'm like, I'm gonna get in there and guess what? Cause guess what? If I don't ever get in, then I wasted my.
A
Right. Yeah, okay. That. Okay.
C
You see what I'm saying? So you gotta spend a little coin on it so you can feel better.

C
Okay.
B
We just.
C
A cleanse.

Yes.
C
Like a detox.
A
You've been throwing it back again. Yeah, I knew.

C
I'm gonna let you have it. I'm gonna let her have it.
B
But long story short. Long story short, though, if I get pregnant in the next year, you gonna do this, gonna be with him.
C
Okay. Okay.
B
I'm sure. I'm sure.
C
But y'all is not looking perfect, though.
B
He would be the perfect.
C
He's perfect.
B
He would be.
C
I've never heard somebody say that about their person. He's perfect. She said he's perfect.
A
I think he's a great. He's a perfect for her. It's perfect for her.
C
Yeah.
B
And that's what I said. Would be a perfect dad. I probably didn't say right.

C
But he's probably perfect for you. He probably. That's probably your guy.
B
It may nobody. We'll see. We gonna play it by ear.
C
Okay.
B
We gonna see what happens. But one thing that I do know is if I did have a child with him. Cause he's already an amazing dad. He already has one son. He would be a great dad. And I know even if things don't work out between us, he will still do what he needs to do and take care of our kid. And it wouldn't be no weird if energy and we will be able to healthily co parent our child.
C
He's not one of them people where you feel like you just have to beef with and be mad and not talk about. No.
B
And it wouldn't be no drama. Like we would do what we need to do to take care of our child.
C
And that's what matters.
A
It's important to have a good father, I think. Or somebody that displays that or shows you that. Because I'm finna be a dead meat, Mom.

A
Yeah.
C
That's just where I'm at in life, you know? And that's where I'm at in life. That even where. How old I am. Like, I just. That's where I'm at. It's like my music got to speak to me, too.
B
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying? I ain't just always outside. I want some that's going to teach me some. You know what I'm saying? Or something to make me feel empowered. Something to motivate me in the morning. Something to keep. Get me. Keep me going, you know?
B
Right.
C
You know? So that's just. I make music for me and women like me. Yeah. You know, if they don't like me, that's fine. You just. We just don't.
B
They love you, girl.
A
Let me ask you this. You Know, I'm. You know, I'm a little messy now.
C
Get messy, girl. Go ahead.
A
So did you and Asian Doll ever talk and work that whole situation out that was going on between, like, about the song that y'all did the same song and she was upset and stuff or anything like that?
C
No, we never even talked about it. I was just, like. I was kind of disappointed because we. We was cool.
A
Yeah, okay.
C
But then I seen her at the baddies thing. She wasn't on that, and I was like, all right, whatever. I'm just grown, y'all. I don't have a time for all that. I don't like that catty stuff. I don't want to go back and forth on the Internet, but I just feel like, man, you cool. You know each other. We really got cordial at one point, you know what I'm saying? Even before all the other stuff. So it didn't happen on my son's birthday. I'm at my son party. I'm viral. Because you saying I'm still in your song, you know, I ain't even know that. Yeah, like, let's be. If we going to be any thing. Yeah, let's be for real. Yeah, like, be for real. You know what I'm saying?
B
For real if you going to be anything.
C
Anything. And it's like, you know. But when I seen her at the baddies thing, it wasn't no smoke or nothing. It was like, you know, the vibes was there. So I. I don't know. She probably just was like, oh, I was probably tripping, or it was just never nothing, you know? So I just leave it where it's at. It's nothing. It's no beef. It's no. It's no beef. It's no friendship. It's no nothing. It's like, we just cool.
A
Y'all just ignore.
C
Yeah, we just existing. And when I see her, there ain't no disrespect. Because there ain't no disrespect.
A
Right, Right.
C
But it's like, okay, that's fair.
A
You know, I had to ask because. I'll be right out.
C
I don't mind you asking some stuff. If I want to clear it up, I clear it up. But if I don't, I'll be like, I ain't answering that. L. Yeah, when I like somebody, I don't.
A
I'm not the person. Y'all will never catch me.
B
Like, we gonna be comments, y'all.
A
I'm not a person. That being the Shade Room comments or the neighborhood Talk every now and then. I might leave a joke, say something funny.
C
Yeah.
A
But I ain't gonna lie. I was a comet warrior that day. I was what you say I did. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna stay on the show, but I was just like.
B
Well, because I feel like one thing about you. You don't bother nobody.
A
You don't bother nobody in your own world. You really do.
B
You don't be bothering.
C
You're not copying nobody like that. That's the part. Like, I don't really gotta do that.
B
I don't have to do that. Like, girl, be for real.
A
I like people who march to the beat of their own drum. And I really feel like I talk about this all the time. Cause I feel like we're in a day and age where people are super, like, materialistic or they want to be known for the wrong things. But you can tell when somebody is genuinely like that. Like you said, you been working at the shoe store. Like, you being like this and liking the nice things is because we can tell that's things that you really like.
C
And I'm not trying to do it to make nobody feel no type of way or to show off or to stun on nobody. I genuinely like these things, y'all. I go to the mall with my jogging suit on, with a. With a scarf on, no makeup, a hoodie on, to buy these luxury things in a wig braid. In my wig braids. I swear to God, my salespeople, if they're looking at this, they'll say, she's not lying. I come in there and I sit there and I'll have on, like, the shoes I even have on that I put on before. These are like, some shoes I bought on Amazon. And I will go in there and I buy these luxury things. These things to call cost $10,000, $15,000. I just bought a purse that cost $25,000. And I get these things because this is what I like. It's not like, oh, I'm about to get all the way done up so I can get content of me buying this really bad.
A
Right?
C
Man, I go in that and put it in my closet and wait for her to come unbox it.
B
Yeah.
C
I don't even unbox my own stuff. I don't even care. I just know I got it.
B
Yeah.
C
As long as I know I got it, I'd be like, all right, whatever. Okay. I got my piece I wanted. You know what I'm saying? It's genuinely what I like. I don't do it for them.
B
Yeah. It's just projecting, you know, people be projecting. I knew people just wanted to have a problem with anything. When I seen on the Internet people was being nasty towards you about your baby shower at Louis Vuitton.
A
And that honestly is this like, come on. I thought that was.
B
And it wasn't ghetto because first of all they wanted you to have the baby shower.
C
Ask me because I was just in there buying casually looking crazy, spend so much money.
B
But that's what they don't know, cuz they don't know.
A
It was their idea.
C
My profile paid for that. My sales associate said we should have you a baby shower here. And it was so crazy because I spent so much money on Cash's baby shower that I threw at the Detroit Pistons facility. I remember. Yep. I said next year. I. Well, when I got pregnant with Clarity, I said I'm not paying for no more baby shower. To the point where my best friend and Jasmine, my friend Jasmine, they threw me a tea party for Clarity. My Clarity Grand. Her God grandparents, they threw me one at their house. They have this beautiful home. And then I was like, okay, well that's it. I'm not having one in Atlanta. And then I went to go buy her some blankets, little outfits. I'm just in there shopping normal. This is what I do, y'all. You know, I'm not. And I'm not stunned. It's just your life. This is my life. Yeah. And I'm buying a blanket and all this. And they was like, you know what? We should throw you a baby shower. I said, okay, where is it going to be at? She like over there in that little room that we have you change in and out. I was like, oh, here at the store. I was like, I like that.
B
Yeah.
C
I was like, yeah, do it. I was like, do it. Because I might have her any day. Because I was huge. And they put it together in a week and they just told me to come in and I invited all the people that I love and they came and it was a great time.
B
Nothing about it was getting ghetto. But see, the crazy part is next year in 2025, all of a sudden people going to be having baby showers at Louis Vuitton.
A
Right. Cuz the cashier at Rainbow asked me to have Min. And I was like, yeah, this is my time though.
C
I'm done with you. You're done? You're absolutely. If you say one more thing.
B
You say one more thing. Get up off.
C
I'm getting up and I'm leaving. I'm leaving. No no, no. Did you hear? I say Rainbow said overlay. I don't. Because people talk about some. I think target going on.
A
I thought we was vibing.
C
No, no, you're done. You're absolutely fucking rainbow.
B
Diabolical.
A
I'm just saying, I be dropping the bag in there.
C
Cause the fuck no. Cause now people gonna be inside these stores, like, do y'all throw baby showers? Since I spent so much, how much have I spent?
B
They gonna think she for real.
A
Oh, okay. Drea, what's your bop of the week, man?
B
Okay, so I've been listening to Glorilla album.
C
Okay.
A
Glory.
B
Glorious.
C
Okay. Glorious.
A
It's so good.
C
What's your favorite song on there?
B
I like the Rain down on Me song with Kirk Franklin. I love a good gospel rap fusion. No, you don't like that song.
A
I told you. I like my gospel straight separate. Yes, I do.
B
So you not into that sacrilegious, right? No, it's not.
A
Did you see Ray Charles doing that?
B
They have a whole genre of Christian rap.
C
I'm done with her. You wouldn't lie.
B
You don't listen to Christian.
A
No, I don't. I like. You know how I like my church music.
B
You a little bit of a heathen, though.
A
That's what I listen to in the car on Sunday.
B
You don't even listen to that.
A
Why you.
C
I like my church listen to.
A
I just like mine.
C
You don't even be listening to what I'm saying. Both y'all.
A
Y'all done.
C
Y'all done.
A
I think it's a problem with the Glow Real song. I love that for her because obviously.
B
She'S a nice song.
A
She's a Christian woman. I'm just saying, for me, I personally like mine separate. Because when that song go off, guess what song coming on after that?
C
Which one?
A
Pop your coochie in the club. I don't know. But you know whose song is that? You just made that.
B
You just made that up.
C
You just made that up.
A
You know what the hell?
C
I mean, I told you that one more time.
A
I need my album separated.
B
You done gave her two more times.
C
I did. Cause I can't help it. It's toxic.
B
It's a toxic.
C
It's a topic.
A
It's the cash command. I just like it separate.
B
But you're right, though, because I also like Procedure with Lotto.
A
Exactly.
C
Okay.
A
And I don't like balance. It's a balance. I love Glow Rilla. Let me just say that, first of all, I think the album is amazing. I'm glad she took her Time. Because I feel like it was a point in time where they were rushing artists that had a good single to drop an album, and these girls were dropping these albums and guys, too. I be seeing a lot of artists drop albums, and they're not. They're not selling us. Also, we're in a streaming era as well. So Glow dropped her album and she's projected to have, like, the second highest selling album of the year. Like, her and Meg are neck and neck. So that means that she's gonna be right under Nicki with the top selling album this year. That's a big deal because they had counted Glo out.
B
Yeah.
A
So I think the fact that she took her time with this album and you can tell it was really a labor of love. And that's what I can appreciate from an artist. Yeah, I am a. I mean, the.
B
Album itself, like, the solid album is good. I like those too.
C
So I have heard a couple songs, but I have. I haven't had the chance to just ride to the whole thing just yet, but I am. I am. I love Glo.
A
Yeah, I'm happy to see her. I like.
C
Even though she always want to argue, I be like, oh, I didn't do nothing to you. What are you talking about? This. You all down here? Yeah. Nah, Cash, like, when we out, you don't want to drink with me, Like. And I'm looking down at her like, girl, why you want to argue with me? But no, that's my boo right there.
A
And I saw her in concert over the summer when she was opening up for Meg and she ate down.
C
Yeah, I love that. I haven't seen her in concert yet. I haven't seen her in concert yet.
A
She's good.
B
Yeah, I haven't seen her in concert, but we saw her perform at the awards, and she was really good.
A
I think that stage presence is what a lot of people are missing. And I'm not saying you gotta do a full 8 count in this and XYZ. I just think it's how you interrupt the crowd. Yes. And she can really rock a crowd, man. Megan. Stacy. I don't know, Firewood.
B
I like an eight count.
C
You like an eight count, but you from Houston. And Beyonce is the eight, eight count queen.
B
She is.
A
Megan is a dancer, too. Yeah, Megan gonna do an eight count, bro. So, yeah, I like, but I like a little bit of both.
C
Megan.
A
Yes.
C
Yeah, my cousin danced with her.
B
For real?
C
Yeah, my cousin be it up. He was dancing with me, too.
A
She's one of them dancers like, y'all Remember how MC Hammer, they. His dancers used to say they would pass out because they was dancing so hard. That's what it gives me. Like, dancing for Meg and Beyonce.
C
Beyonce ain't playing, baby.
A
But I told y'all.
C
I mean, maybe it up too.
A
Yeah, she do, but I do feel like glow. Like, she does her little eight count, and it's cute, but she's. She works the crowd well. So. Okay, shout out to Glow.
C
Yeah.
A
Okay, y'all know. Y'all know how to mix it up for my bop of the week. Y'all know I love me some Tanner Adele. She is a black country music artist right now. That's killing it. And she dropped a new song called Silverado, and I just love the fact that her voice is so country, but you can still hear that soul. I love a country artist where, like, you know, you can hear it when it's a black woman singing. Okay, so it's like, you could tell, like, and she has a distinctive voice. I love when I hear a voice on the radio. Like, when you hear Beyonce, you know it's her, right? When you hear Adele, you know it's her. I feel like Tanner Adele has that voice where it's like, okay, okay. This is Tanner Adele singing.
C
Okay. So I'm gonna listen to both of them.
B
Yeah.
C
Today. Yeah.
A
She's fire. She's fire. So, yeah, shout out to Tanner Dell Silverado. That's my B of the week. What's up, y'all?

C
I don't know.
B
I like you.
A
Some good advice today. I know now, like, I'm not giving my child up twice a month. I'm not.
C
Yeah. What's the. What's the advice?
B
Okay, question number one.
C
I'm done with her. I'm done.
B
It's a wrap.
C
It's over. It's a wrap.
A
That was my. You right. You know what? I ain't gonna lie. You right.
C
I'm.
A
I'm done. I pushed it myself there.
C
Yeah. Yeah, you took it there.
A
All right. All right.
C
Yep.
B
Okay. Hey, girlies. To start off, I love the show. I started watching you guys at a time when I was at my lowest, and I've been tuned, tuned in since. I'm in a situation where I've met this dude back in March around spring break in Miami. Turns out we are from the same state, just two hours away from each other. After Miami, we kept in contact and met up on several occasions. After the third link up, we became real acquainted. If you know, you know. And it was going good.
C
So I thought, if you know, you know.
B
If you know, you know.
A
Yeah.
C
What? I don't know.
A
Love it, she said.
B
And it was going good, so I thought. On the fourth time I came over to his house, I found some lashes in the bathroom. I brought this to his attention, but he claims it's old. I'm usually the type to keep it hard on a Go On a what? Hard on a goat.
C
Pregnant guy.
A
Hard on a hoe. She probably did a.
B
Or maybe that's what they say.
C
Where she from? Okay, where she from?
B
Hard on the go. And I was really liking him, so I just ignored it. The next week after that, we went to his crib and I woke up to his dog chewing up a pretty little thing. Tag, not mine, obviously. Hey, what's wrong with pretty little things?
A
It wasn't hers. So it was another girl that was there.
C
Yeah.
B
I don't think she was saying, okay.
A
She can have her baby shower there too.
B
Girl shower. Okay.
C
You don't say nothing.
B
Don't say no more.
C
Don't you say.
B
And that was my last link with him. Months later, I still think about him because we was really hitting it off until that happened. I haven't found a vibe since then. I know I should stand on business, but weirdly, he comes across my mind too often. Mind you, I don't really do the situationships. I'm more of a long term relationship girly.
A
I actually told talked to you about this yesterday. We were on the phone and I was like, one thing that I learned is stop trying to be the cool girl and not telling a man what you want because you want to be like, oh, I don't want to say I want a relationship. But yeah, I think that you should tell your intentions. I'm not dating for a situationship. I'm not dating for friends with benefits. I am a woman who is looking for a relationship. I usually do more serious, committed things.
B
Yeah.
A
So you could have saved yourself the heartbreak by having that conversation before y'all got jiggy with it. Okay. So I think a lot of times we waste our time by trying to be like, chill, when you know you don't want to just chill and, and hang out. Because that could have been clarified. He could have told you, hey, I'm not looking to settle down. I got other people I'm dating and I'm just trying to figure it out right now. You wouldn't have got your feelings hurt. So I think to prevent that, have conversations in the beginning. But you obviously already gotten past that point, so I think it's okay sometimes to get clarity. I think a lot of times people have pride. If you want to communicate with him and say, hey, you know what, I've been thinking about you, I'd like to have a conversation. And if he dismisses that, you know what it is, so you can really properly move on. But if he's open to having a conversation. Conversation, have the conversation. Yeah, I'm just not a prideful person anymore when it comes to, oh, I texted him last I called. If I want to talk about something and get something off my chest, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm mature about it. If you want to feel some type of way Whatever. You're not the person for me, so that's how I feel about it.
C
I'm mad at that.
A
Yeah.
C
I'm out of that.
A
I know. That's why I see I was being good girl. That was.
C
Something was coming. Something was coming. Yeah.
A
All right. All right. Okay. Hello, Dre and Lex. I door you guys, and your podcast is my go to source of comfort. But I've been dating this guy for six months, and I've lately told him that he's not romantic enough and that he doesn't do enough. I've also told him that he doesn't express his feelings to me, which makes me feel like he can't trust me or talk to me about anything. I open up, and I'm eager to do more romantic things, but only if he puts in the same effort. We recently broke up, and he advised me to find someone better who could provide me more than he. He does. But I don't want anyone else. Just him. But a part of me wanting to give him another chance. And a part of me doesn't. What should I do? I'm 20, by the way. Oh, that.
C
Drop that like a mixtape.
A
Yeah. If a man tells you, go find somebody else, please listen to him.
C
Is he telling you? Because he's telling me he can't. He'll have nothing else to provide.
B
All right.
A
And you're 20.
C
If that man don't want to change, change the man.
A
Hey, come on now.
C
Change. Changed. I did good.
B
You did good.
C
Okay. Change the man.
B
It was good advice.
C
I agree.
A
I feel like if a.
C
The worst thing, she's a problem.
B
A big win.
A
I feel like when you ask a man something or a thing, a man, usually, if he really fucks with you, he gonna lie, right? Baby, I'm a trial, baby. I love your baby. But if a man straight up tell you, nah, I ain't finna do that. Go. You can move on. Please. That may not like you, and I know you. Probably hard for you to hear in harsh words. I guarantee you, six months from now, you're not even gonna be thinking about him. You're 20 years old.
C
That's. First of all. Let's. Let's talk here.
A
Yeah.
C
First and foremost, if you don't even stop writing us about that, you got other stuff to be worth talking about.
A
Girl, you is in school. You talk.
C
You need to be worried about something. Don't write us about nothing about no man.
A
That's probably.
C
I don't want to hear nothing.
B
Did you.
C
That was it. I had a great Time. What? I had a great time. No, to do it. And you took it there.
A
Okay, you're right.
C
You reeled me back in when you gave that great advice, okay? And now here you go.
A
I tricked you.
B
What did you say? What did she say about Robert?
A
You said, she's only 20. That was probably my cashier at Rainbow.
B
You see, you ain't have to say.
C
Have to say that you did that on your own.
A
Cash doll, where can we find you at? She.
B
She said she thought you about how you.
C
I'm going. I'm leaving after this.
A
Borrow me. Where can they find you?
C
You know, I got drunk.
A
I'm sorry.
C
There you are.
B
You've been drinking. We a little too.
C
Mine's all gone.
B
Yeah, all gone, too. That was number two.
A
Okay, what can we expect from Cash dog? Where we gonna find you at? All that good stuff. Can I say I was so sad when I killed you off bmf.
B

B
Yeah.
C
And you know what? It's helping me. So, you know, we love it.
B
It's relatable to so many women, though, especially now, too, that you're a mom. You know? Like, I know women love to see that because you're so multifaceted. Like, you do so many different things. You a businesswoman, you a boss, and you a mother. And you always will put together. Like, I feel like that's something that women really struggle.
A
I know. I remember I watched a vlog a long time ago. This is when I had $3 in my bank account. And you was doing a vlog. That's another story.
C
This is why I'm leaving her.
A
But wait, you did a tour? A house tour. This is when you still live in Detroit. You know what video I'm talking about?

Okay. And it was beautiful.
C
Thank you.

That bathroom.
C
I miss that house.
A
It was such a delight. How can I flip my $3 into.
C
Into 3 million a home?
A
But I think it'd be good to see. Cause it's. It's an inspiration. You know what I'm saying?
C
So I've been getting back into that.
A
Yeah.
C
You know, like, even Jazz, she's my social media manager. And that's why y'all. She would tell y'all, she's here. I used to buy stuff and just put it up. And she'll come in my closet, and she'll see it like, you didn't do unboxing? And I'm like, no. She's like, you got to start putting that stuff.
B
Yeah.
C
You know what I'm saying?
B
And it's motivational.
C
It's like, you know, it's motivational. Like, I got to a point where I was like, I don't want to put it in people face no more.
B
Yeah.
C
You know, I started feeling bad. Like, my birthday post she made. I spent a whole bunch of money on, like, a whole bunch of stuff. And she, like, she made a little post, and she said what she said on there, and I was like, I took it off my profile.
B
Oh, no.
C
Because I was like, I feel like it's just making people feel bad.
A
I ain't gonna lie.
B
But that's the hate.
C
Like you.
B
It's. It's the haters that's feeling bad. The people who need to be motivated, and the people who like you. Appreciate it.
C
Appreciate it. And I learned that even she was teaching me that because she. She fly herself. Yeah, she was teaching me that. Like, no, we want to see that. Yeah, that's what she'll say. A little crazy.
A
You had this picture a long time ago. I can't remember exactly the outfit you had on, but I know you had Louis Vuitton on from head to toe. Everything. I think you had, like, the belt, the headband, it was like, the bag.
C
The shoes, it was like everything was Louis Vuitton.
A
Oh, my God. And I remember that picture distinctly. I was like, man, she really be like. And it got to a point to where. Cause I like to shop, too. And my nickname, they call me the Louis Vuitton dawn. Because I was like, don. Cause I will. I love Louis Vuitton. I do. I do.
C
I love Louis Vuitton.
A
I always. They see me in the airport, they be like, okay.
C
The dawn. Okay.
A
But I. I say that because I think that's important to see sometimes. Because it's not about bragging. It's about inspiring people. Because that little picture that you posted, I didn't take it as. Oh, she's bragging. It inspired me. I'm like, bro, we can really go out here and get this on our own.
C
Okay. So y'all motivated me some more, too. So I'm going start showing a little bit more. I appreciate that.
B
I said, I need to spend some more money in Louisva's son because I need to have a baby shower there too.
A
Exactly.
C
I got to a point because I used to do it so much. And, you know, Detroit, we are like stunners. We like to stunt, we like to show off and all that stuff. And then the other part of the world was not really familiar with that, and they thought that it was more bragging and boasting and stuff like that. And I never want to try to make people feel small. I'm really a sweetheart in the inside. So I bagged off of it. My regular life was just. My regular life. I was. Was never just posting it. Like how people, they're shopping, they're showing. I stopped. And then once I, you know, she's 25, so she like, no, you're gonna post this. I'm posting it, I don't care. She'll say, I'm. I'm pushing post. I'm sending it now. And I just like, go ahead, whatever.
B
Yeah.
C
And then once I see it, it made me cringe. I'll take it off my profile. Like, it'd be like, no, it'll be on my real side.
B
Because it's different, though.
A
It's not like you're getting it from somebody else or.
C
And it's mine.
A
I always say this, and this is no shade. This is no shade. I always say if you go to a woman's profile and she has a lot of things and you. And she doesn't brag about, like, what she does for a living or you don't know what she does for a living, it's probably not necessarily the person that you want to look at, because I feel like if you are a person who is passionate about being a boss, you can look at your page and we can see what you do. I mean, outside of people who are like, you know, in the medical field, so they don't want to, you know, they don't want you to know where they work or things like that. But they'll say, I'm a nurse, those.
C
Type of lawyers, doctors and stuff. But people. But you would know.
B
You don't know what they do by being on profile.
C
I say that. I say that when you go to Girls page and you. And you see all these. This luxury things, and you don't know what they do.
B
They doing something.
C
You don't need to know what they do.
B
You don't need. You don't need to know because it's.
C
So obvious what they do. Because this is how this. They bread and Butter.
B
Yeah.
A
And I'm not shading that. But I'm saying for you, either they're.
C
A prostitute, you a scammer. Maybe you a scammer.
A
Scammer. You. Yes. Yes.
C
Use a rich nigga, baby mama. Right?
A
Something. Something.
C
You wanted them. You ain't wanting somebody to have their own thing that's going that they're actually, you know, nurturing, and it's feeding them and their family. That's not. No.
A
And I think that's important for especially black women to see bosses and people like, we know what you do. We need to see you out there working.
C
Cause it ain't that much private. No.
B
Because when you're a woman and you're proud. Because first of all, when you really built some shit.
C
Listen, that's why I was happy about my plaques. I'm like, I got me some plaques. I'm doing my thing. You know what I'm saying?
A
Not easy to get.
C
Yeah. And y'all, every time I do something.
B
I'll still double platinum in my home.

Okay. No, for real.
B
I'm serious.
