Our last question comes from Deandre who says I'm a 21 year old college student living in Chicago. I moved here from Indiana to attend Scholar to Scholage to attend college on scholarship and my gay uncle and his white partner let me stay with them in their house rent free. As a young queer man, it has been really cool living with a couple and for the first time in my life, seeing queer love in action. There is one issue though. Since I moved in, my uncle's partner has periodically said flirty shit to make me uncomfortable. But he's always been a little weird so I never really thought too much of it.

[Crystal]

The mess this week.

[Kid Fury]

Plus I always felt like he loved my uncle since they've been together since before I could remember.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

One weekend while my uncle was away, his partner started flirting with me.

[Crystal]

Oh my God.

[Kid Fury]

And because we were both drunk, I allowed him to give.

[Crystal]

No.

[Kid Fury]

I allowed him to give me head. I can't lie. The shit was basic. So not only was I upset at.

[Crystal]

Myself for allowing it to happen, but.

[Kid Fury]

Also at the fact that my uncle has been receiving this mediocre hit for over 20 years. And while I felt like pure shit, his partner must have really enjoyed it because ever since then, when my uncle's away, he starts trying to mess with me again. He takes advantage of the fact that I'm young and broke and has paid me money to fuck him a few times.

[Crystal]

Are you shitting?

[Kid Fury]

Hopefully not. I have decided to stop being a trash ass nephew.

[Crystal]

I'm leaving. You didn't Even have to make it worse.

[Kid Fury]

I decided to stop being a trash ass nephew and told my uncle's partner that we cannot do this anymore. It's been a few weeks since he last tried to come onto me, so I'm hoping he won't put me in this situation again. I just want to know if I should tell my uncle what happened. Lots of question marks. I know I could possibly risk being put out, but I also don't want my uncle living a lie. And I also wonder if, in fact, I'm the only person he has paid to fuck him since he was so quick to give up ass for coin. Shit is fucked up. I could definitely use your help. Please make up an. Oh, I already did make up a name. DeAndre. Love. DeAndre.

[Crystal]

Oh.

[Kid Fury]

This is a lot.

[Crystal]

Alrighty. I try to unpack this. Yeah, well. Wow. You. So you did that. You. You decided to do it? I.

[Kid Fury]

21 years old.

[Crystal]

All right, so you trash your uncle's partner's trash.

[Kid Fury]

And he put in the. In the subject. I'm probably trash af, but I'm trying to make amends.

[Crystal]

Are you? I mean, you're deciding on whether or not you should make amends.

[Kid Fury]

2021.

[Crystal]

So your uncle deserves to know.

[Kid Fury]

He definitely does.

[Crystal]

He definitely deserves to know. I'm pretty solid in the idea that your uncle's partner will not tell him, right? So, you know, do what you want with that. Your uncle deserves to know. It seems like the only person who's gonna get that information from would be you, if that means that your ass ends up homeless or you gotta find somewhere else to go, you know, actions and consequences. But yeah, n. What the fuck were you thinking, bro?

[Kid Fury]

Like, are you your uncle's man? Like, I honestly can't even fathom fucking one of my uncle's, like, partners or.

[Crystal]

Somebody that has sex with your uncle.

[Kid Fury]

And has since like before you were born.

[Crystal]

It sounds that way.

[Kid Fury]

The same dick. Yo, the. No, sir. I don't understand it. And I feel because you are so young, I feel like a lot of this is on this grown ass man who absolutely. In fact, almost all of it. Like, my only issue with you is like, nigga, that's your damn uncle, right? I would have no problem with you sleeping with some old nigga, getting money off of him. Cause you in college or whatever. If that's what you want, I don't give a damn. But your uncle's husband, it's literally your.

[Crystal]

Uncle'S nigga or your uncle's man, and he's giving you a place to stay, you know? Yes. You're young, but you know right from wrong.

[Kid Fury]

You do.

[Crystal]

However you do is garbage. Yeah, he gots to go.

[Kid Fury]

He does have to go. And honestly, you probably got to go, too. Your uncle's probably not going to want to look at neither one of y'all no more. And I can't say that I blame him. Hopefully your uncle will see this situation for what I think. Well, I hope that he will. Damn. How do I say this?

[Crystal]

I'm thinking maybe, like, with time, he can under. He can see it for what it is. Right.

[Kid Fury]

Like this man was preying on my young ass. Nature.

[Crystal]

Absolutely.

[Kid Fury]

But damn, you my nephew. Even at 21, I'mma expect you to not fuck with my man. Like, come on.

[Crystal]

But I mean, like, if this nigga is setting it out, literally. And then did they say. He said they were drinking when it first happened. So it's like he was absolutely putting this young man in a position that he had no business. Again, you're the one in a situation, this sexual and romantic situation with this person. You have those obligations. Sir. You could say the same thing about him and his uncle. Cause they're family and stuff like that. But you cheating on somebody.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

You know, and what, like your man's nephew that's 21.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

Like you did. And then you're paying. That's gross.

[Kid Fury]

Hell, because I'm gonna assume he's at least 20 years older than you.

[Crystal]

So if it's as long as you can remember. Yeah, yeah, he's up there.

[Kid Fury]

Right. He's got to be at least 40. Like, got to be. So, I mean, and that's if. That's if your uncle is not significantly older than you. Because some of the girls just don't.

[Crystal]

I mean.

[Kid Fury]

And it's a lot of older men out here who prefer them as young as possible. And at 21, you look ultra young while still being legal. So I'm sure it was a huge temptation for him.

[Crystal]

But that is not incredibly easy to.

[Kid Fury]

College students are easy to manipulate. Right.

[Crystal]

Take advantage of.

[Kid Fury]

Cause y'all are legally adults. But you still don't have no good sense. No shade. Your brains are not done developing no money. I'm not. You have no money. So anytime somebody even offer you $5, you perk up. Immediately you get excited.

[Crystal]

That's two bags of degrees and a pack of now. Later.

[Kid Fury]

If you give a college student any gift, they act they so full of gratitude.

[Crystal]

This is bad.

[Kid Fury]

It is. This is bad. And I. Oh, shit. What month is. It's March. I don't know when you should tell your uncle. Maybe when you leave for the summer. Because if you tell them right now, it's a good chance you won't finish out the semester unless you can go live on campus somewhere. See, the thing is, you had a great situation here living with your uncle rent free. But I think you're gonna have to tap into sunning them with scholarships and use them to pay them dorm fees. Because I don't know how you can look your uncle in the face knowing that you've done this over and over. Like the guilt must be eating you up.

[Crystal]

That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't know how I would. Wait.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. So you just need to be fully prepared to move out. Like you need to be prepared.

[Crystal]

Yeah, that's something you need to prepare.

[Kid Fury]

So go talk to Housing. See do they have a dorm that's open or whatever. But, you know, there's consequences to the things you do. And getting put out is the minimum of what I can only imagine your uncle comes up with. Cause God damn, this is so grimy. This is so grimy.

[Crystal]

That's. That's. That's pretty bad. And it didn't happen once, right?

[Kid Fury]

Happened a few times. And money was all it took for you to like. I mean, but again, you're very young and money is all it takes for a lot of things. But I just feel for your uncle in this situation. I hope that you tell him the truth soon and that eventually y'all are able to repair your relationship.

[Crystal]

Goddamn house. Gonna have a white man in the the house. Do all this. Goddamn my goddamn nephew.

[Kid Fury]

Imagine being with a white man for two plus decades and you thinking that this motherfucker was faithful to you. And y'all done built this life together.

[Crystal]

Finally got your emojis.

[Kid Fury]

Like Tamara said, y'all got y'all hashtag representation via emoji, right?

[Crystal]

It's lit out here.

[Kid Fury]

It's a brand new day. And here you go. You done. Woo. This ain't even a last. Like, I hope your uncle cuts this white man loose and then deals with his feelings towards you. I love in whatever way is best.

[Crystal]

I love y'all this week. My God.

[Kid Fury]

And good luck to you. Like, you're young. You fucked up. This was a major fuck up. You might have real repercussions with your family once they find out.

[Crystal]

But let me tell you something. As far as, like, gay sexual scandal goes, girl, you're. You're like.

[Kid Fury]

Unfortunately, this isn't like totally memorable, right? Maybe yellow like, honestly, sleeping with your uncle, like, terrible. But in the grand scheme of gay sex dramas, I have heard, yeah, minimal, it's pretty bad. But especially because you are so young. It's a lot more shameful for that old ass, man. It's way more shameful than it is for 21. I feel like a lot of people probably be like, well, I mean, not my uncle's man, but my cousin's man.

[Crystal]

I did a lot of dumb with my dick. Not me. Well, did I do a lot of dance?

[Kid Fury]

Don't beat yourself up too hard. But, you know, consequences are necessary here. So learn from this.

[Crystal]

Learn something from recurring. Yeah, that's the theme of this week's episode. That's what I'm gonna title it.

[Kid Fury]

And our first one this week is from a young lady who calls herself I Fucked Up. She says, hi, Crystal and Ken Fury, my boyfriend of five years has been asking me to have anal sex for the past two years.

[Crystal]

Oh God.

[Kid Fury]

But I've always said no.

[Crystal]

Oh God. Oh God.

[Kid Fury]

It's just not my thing. And on top of that, my best friend, who is averse, bottom told, and I don't have the time or patience to do that. Well, fast forward to the end of March. My boyfriend asked me yet again to have anal sex and I told him no. He begged and begged and I got so annoyed that I said, why don't you just ask Desmond to do it? Desmond being the best friend, I don't wanna hear anymore.

[Crystal]

I don't want more.

[Kid Fury]

I kept asking him to have anal sex with my best friend, flipping the script on him, and of course he kept saying no. But I kept asking because I wanted him to see how annoying it is to be asked something repeatedly after you said, you're not anim interested. That was until two weeks ago when I asked him again and he said, okay, I'll try it. At first I thought he was just joking and he freaked out and said he was just fucking around on me. So I let it go. I spoke to my best friend about it and he was annoyed that I even offered him to my boyfriend in the first place.

[Crystal]

I know that's because I would have.

[Kid Fury]

Been annoyed with that shit too. Anyway, I was on my best friend's computer and I went to his downloads to get a video that I pulled from my email and there were some explicit videos. I clicked it out of curiosity and it was two guys having sex. I thought it was kind of hot to watch those guys having sex. And I thought about my boyfriend and best friend and how that Might be kind of interesting.

[Crystal]

This is going like. It's like a roller coaster. Like every time I think I know what's about to happen. Go ahead.

[Kid Fury]

So I asked my boyfriend again. He said no. And I begged him and told him that I really wanted it.

[Crystal]

So now you really want him to fuck your friend?

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, now she really wants it. So she said. I begged him and told him that I really wanted to watch. And he finally said yes. I then went to my best friend who immediately said to me, hell no. But after I begged him to, he agreed. I set everything up.

[Crystal]

What the fuck is happening?

[Kid Fury]

They were getting in.

[Crystal]

Ask the read.

[Kid Fury]

I set the whole thing up. They were going to have sex at my house and I was gonna watch with a glass of wine. And there were two rules. No kissing and only front to back to back. What the fuck is wrong? Only front to back. They can't have sex facing each other. The day came and they had sex. I figured now my boyfriend got the need for anal out of his system, he would be fine. But I was wrong. Because now he keeps ask to have anal sex again with my best friend. I asked him if he's gay and he said no. He just likes the feeling. I haven't told my best friend yet that my boyfriend wants to do it again. And I'm concerned that if I don't let my boyfriend have sex with my best friend, that he will start having sex with other guys to fulfill that desire. What should I do? Sincerely, I fucked up.

[Crystal]

Go and find a new man besides the one that you just turned out. You weird, weird person.

[Kid Fury]

You really did turn your boyfriend out. Like you. You basically coerced him into having sex with your friend after he told you.

[Crystal]

Several times he didn't want to and you begged both of them.

[Kid Fury]

I was like, this isn't a good idea. But you insisted. And now, duh, he likes the feeling. He been wanting to do it. Like, oh, girl, what was you thinking about what?

[Crystal]

This is probably like, we have gotten some weird letters. Usually they're just gross. Now when you said I fucked up and the first thing was my boyfriend wanted to have anal sex, I was like, okay, gross. Now we're gonna have a disgusting letter again this week. Oh, no, this was just.

[Kid Fury]

I love it.

[Crystal]

Layers. I don't know where to begin.

[Kid Fury]

I clicked it. Cause the title said, the subject line said, my boyfriend of five years had sex with my gay best friend and it's my fault. How could I knock that off?

[Crystal]

What the.

[Kid Fury]

I have to know. I have to know. And it Is your fault. That's what's crazy. Like, you did this.

[Crystal]

You didn't wanna get it in the butt. Bad, bad girl. Now let me tell you something. It is.

[Kid Fury]

It's.

[Crystal]

It's an uphill battle.

[Kid Fury]

I was gonna say that would have been me. Like, if you asking me to open up my balloon night, it's gonna be a hell no. It's gonna be a hell no, girl. I can't do it. Ain't enough deep breathing, ain't enough gun oil. Ain't enough relaxation. No, it ain't enough concentration.

[Crystal]

As I've said a million times. Like, I don't really know it definitely, you know, unless you use the size.

[Kid Fury]

Of a pencil, it's gonna hurt.

[Crystal]

It's not gonna feel great either way the first time. See, because that. Anyway, I don't have the time to break down the biology or whatever, I guess. I don't know. The thing that always confuses me about straight men who want to have anal sex with their girlfriends or wives or whatever so badly is that you have other means. Like you have two other holes. You know what I' right, Men, you know, we have the prostate spot, the G spot, prostate, whatever. Which is a real thing. Women don't have a prostate and their G spot is in the other hole. So it's like, I don't. I understand women being like, that will not happen. It just won't. I don't see the point. I don't wanna. You know what I'm saying? Gay men have no other choice, so.

[Kid Fury]

But I know there are some women who really like it. I guess it stimulates them in a different way. And if you love it, then that's great for you, girl. It's just not for me personally. So I understand you saying no. The fact that you decided that I.

[Crystal]

Could understand you not wanting to try it and you could have tried it and liked it. Cause I do know women who also love it.

[Kid Fury]

Right.

[Crystal]

But I can understand not wanting to put yourself through the process of trying a shit out at all. Because even with myself, it was initially, you know, in my intro to Gay, I was kind of like, this is just.

[Kid Fury]

This won't work.

[Crystal]

I thought I wanted it and I didn't. I had to actually see the grass.

[Kid Fury]

That's how I know people don't choose to be gay.

[Crystal]

Exactly. Like, what the fuck you want to go through all of this? We're not talking about the woes of a bottom. Maybe I'll write a book one day.

[Kid Fury]

You should.

[Crystal]

Either way, you really should. I just don't understand how you turned it. First of all, it's extremely problematic for you to turn around and be like, well, if you want to fuck somebody in the ass so much, why don't you go and fuck a guy? And then for that guy to be your best friend, Right? And then somehow you ended up watching gay porn. And I know a lot of women also who love watch gay porn. Like, it turns them on. And I don't know why, but I don't either. I'm not a woman, and gay sex is a part of my real life, so I can't question you, like, what you like. I just know a lot of girls that like it, so it must be a fake.

[Kid Fury]

Maybe it's like, wow, two dicks instead of one.

[Crystal]

I don't know. Like. But none of them are for you.

[Kid Fury]

Well, I have a friend who is sexually free. I'll say that.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

And she likes the feeling of double penetration. She likes one in the ruta and one in the Tudor. Yes.

[Crystal]

That probably feels like. If I were a woman, I would be twisted. I would want to know what that felt like. There's, like, some things that are like, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Cause a thumb in your ass is not bad.

[Crystal]

Yeah, but it's a thumb, right?

[Kid Fury]

Exactly. A thumb is fine. I mean, but it took me a while to even be okay with that. I'm like, I don't know. You just want to chill out.

[Crystal]

You know?

[Kid Fury]

Like, we could just not find another place.

[Crystal]

And if you've got big tits and you've got that. You know what I'm saying?

[Kid Fury]

Although I don't really like my titties. I don't like.

[Crystal]

I don't understand why anybody would.

[Kid Fury]

You could honestly ignore my titties every time, and I would be fine with that because they are so annoying. Like, they're boring to me. I don't.

[Crystal]

But they're yours.

[Kid Fury]

I'm just like, ugh. If I could take them off, I would.

[Crystal]

Ooh, that would probably be so great.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, my God. If you could come home and take your titties off. Oh, my God. Women across the planet would be happier. You could just be like, it's been a long day.

[Crystal]

That needs to be what Dr. Miami focuses on.

[Kid Fury]

Okay.

[Crystal]

Removable titties.

[Kid Fury]

Removable titties.

[Crystal]

Like, just find out a way for.

[Kid Fury]

Us to take these off.

[Crystal]

Just put them down and just wear.

[Kid Fury]

Them when they're convenient.

[Crystal]

Put them on a charger or something. Get back to them when you're up.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, bitch, my titties are on low. I can't even take them out today, right?

[Crystal]

No, none today.

[Kid Fury]

I didn't even charge the backup battery or nothing for these hoes. So what were we talking?

[Crystal]

Oh, you then after deciding that you love the sight of gay sex, then you switched from being a. What is. I lost language? I don't know, sarcastic or whatever or facetious, whatever word.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, you went from. From trying to turn it on his head, mock him, right? You went from like trying to teach him a point to then being like dead serious.

[Crystal]

I want you to fuck him and I want to watch.

[Kid Fury]

And I want. I would not want to watch my best friend have sex. Ew.

[Crystal]

I wouldn't like.

[Kid Fury]

Ew, gross. Ew, ew. That is nasty. With your man, I mean, but not at all.

[Crystal]

I just don't understand why, how this worked for you. Like, I know a lot of freaky couples and just freaky people, you know what I'm saying? And I would, you know, dabble in a few things, but I would never be like, mm, mm, I really want you to fuck my homegirl.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

Mm, mm. And let me watch.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, I'll watch, but I don't wann watch people I know having sex. And I especially don't want to watch my man have sex with anybody who.

[Crystal]

Ain'T people I know have sex. I won't watch one of my friends have sex.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, that's better. Yeah, I won't watch my friend have sex because that's just a private tender moment. And I don't want to think of you. I don't want to know the things you holl out. I don't want to see the look on your face. I don't want to see your vagina like your best. Oh, no, it's just wrong. It's like, how do you.

[Crystal]

Different types of friendships.

[Kid Fury]

Nah, it would be like watching a sibling.

[Crystal]

Your man said no several times. Your friend said no several times. And then you tried to convince them to do it anyway and they finally said yes because this man is gay and so having dick is not foreign to him.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, and if your boyfriend is fine, he was curious and you begging him to do it.

[Crystal]

So sure he wanted to try anal so much. Probably for the same reason. What I was just saying, he wanted to know what it felt like and now he felt it. He liked it. Duh. Which if you just think of the science of the body, like, I mean.

[Kid Fury]

I'm not surprised that any man enjoys anal sex. Cause I'm sure that's very. That's a very tight area. So I'm sure it feels fantastic for your dick. I'm sure it does.

[Crystal]

You know, I don't want to get too vulgar. Someone. I have several bisexual guy friends, and I've dated guys and slept with guys that are bisexual. And somebody described the difference between them to me. Great. One day. Cause he was like, there's not like a really one that's better than the other. They're both great for different reasons.

[Kid Fury]

Okay.

[Crystal]

And basically, like, you can do more with a vagina, which makes sense because it has the elasticity. It's made for that. You know what I'm saying? Quote, unquote.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

So you can really, like. You can go in there, go crazy without worrying about having to take this bitch to Cedar to the hospital or whatever.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, you probably have to be a little more careful in that.

[Crystal]

Right. I don't want to have to take you down to Mount Sinai.

[Kid Fury]

I'm gonna rupture something.

[Crystal]

Right. You might still be able to kill a few girls if you don't play.

[Kid Fury]

There's rough vaginal sex, too. Like, there's a such thing as doing.

[Crystal]

The most, but you definitely can't do a fraction of that. And.

[Kid Fury]

Right.

[Crystal]

Well, some people are able.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, Well, I just don't know what kind of magic y'all must be pulling off. People do some training, okay.

[Crystal]

And they get to where they can handle whatever's thrown at them, literally.

[Kid Fury]

You know, I've seen some screenshots, and I'm gonna just leave that right there.

[Crystal]

Either way, if your boyfriend now decides to go and fuck your friend again. Oh, well, girl, like, I don't know. I mean, obviously he shouldn't, but you put him in a situation where he's like. He went from, like, begging you and dying and being excited for this experience, and then you gave it to him with somebody else, and now he knows how much he likes it and you are, like, telling him whatever about it. Or did she say she wanted to watch it again or she didn't want it to happen again?

[Kid Fury]

No, she doesn't. She thought he would do it once and get it out his system. That's not how sexuality works either.

[Crystal]

It doesn't. Oh, my gosh, girl, you did fuck up. At least, you know, you need to just break up with him.

[Kid Fury]

You should have broke up with him when he kept asking to have anal and you didn't want to do it. And he kept asking. You should have been like, this ain't gonna work out. Cause you have a deep, deep desire to go and booty hole. And I'm not Gonna give you and.

[Crystal]

I'm not going to let you do it.

[Kid Fury]

So we just need to end this right now.

[Crystal]

Because whether he fucks your friend or some other guy or some other. Other girl who allows him to do it.

[Kid Fury]

Anybody with a willing booty, huh?

[Crystal]

Getting in some booty again.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. And so if now it's just as great as he thought it was gonna be. You did fuck up. You did, sis.

[Crystal]

Oh, well. Are you gay?

[Kid Fury]

Bitch, you asked me to do this and you have a butthole.

[Crystal]

I don't want to go up so bad.

[Kid Fury]

He probably is waiting on her to break up with him.

[Crystal]

He's probably like, I was just. I was hoping, like, I didn't know how to do it. My. I didn't want you to get the wrong idea. But thanks. Like, just leave him, nigga. And be like, you know what? My bad. And I hope you had a good time and I'm sorry I brought both of you in this for my whole, like, I don't feel at least had a tweet, oops, oh my moment and touched yourself while you was drinking the wine or something. Like, I would never be able to get the memory of my man fucking my best friend or my best friend fucking, like, every time I see that person again, I'mma think about there. But you liked it. I guess it's not enough for them to continue doing it. I don't know. I'm so lost.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. No, I would not just leave. This relationship is over.

[Crystal]

It's done.

[Kid Fury]

All right.

[Crystal]

You remember her from a couple weeks ago? She's the one who said her boyfriend had sex with the gay best friend. She is so this. I have not read this. I'm just now looking at this.

[Crystal]

Great.

[Kid Fury]

It says hi Crystal and Kiffury. Following your responses to my question, I decided to talk to my boyfriend about how I felt, but it ended up with him convincing me to let him do it one more time.

[Crystal]

Oh my God.

[Kid Fury]

However, this this time he suggested that I join in. To ease my concerns, I went back to my best friend to ask if he would do it one last time, but with me joining in, he immediately said no and started to question why I keep involving him in my sex life.

[Crystal]

You know your friend, your friend asks the good questions. Now your friend also fucked your man. Agreed to so I'm not giving him too much leeway or room, but that is a solid question.

[Kid Fury]

I explained to him that he's a person I trust and I wouldn't be comfortable doing this with a stranger.

[Crystal]

You shouldn't be comfortable doing your periods.

[Kid Fury]

He still thought it was all weird, but he told me that he would do it if I paid his cable bill for the next three months. And under the condition that the two of us don't do anything with each other, we picked a day and my best friend walked me through the steps of getting prepared. You were definitely right about the woes of a bottom.

[Crystal]

Oh, so he wanted to do both butts.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, my God. We had the threesome and it was an interesting experience. Anal wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I'm open to doing it again.

[Crystal]

You wasted everybody's God damn time when you could have just took it up the butt the first and. Oh, my God. Madam, madam, Madam.

[Kid Fury]

Well, following the threesome, I asked my boyfriend to do it again and he told me, no.

[Crystal]

Jesus, I'm going home. I'm finished. I don't even wanna. I'm leaving.

[Kid Fury]

Because when I asked him why, he said that he isn't sexually or romantically attracted to men and that he only had sex with Desmond because I didn't want to have anal sex and because to him, ass is ass. But since I'm open to it now, he doesn't see the need to keep having sex with my best friend. In fact, he said he's uncomfortable that I am so close with someone that we both had sex with and he no longer wants me to see my best friend because that means he will have to see him too. I feel bad because I got us all into this situation and now I'm stuck between choosing my best friend since second grade or my man who I want to spend the rest of my life with. What should I do? Oh, you asking us again? Oh, girl.

[Crystal]

This is a listener letter. This is a sequel.

[Kid Fury]

Sincerely, I fucked up again, sis. Break up with him.

[Crystal]

We told you the first time to leave this nigga. And you not only stayed with the nigga, but you were like, huh, let's try it again.

[Kid Fury]

Oh my God. And then, oh, no, sir.

[Crystal]

After your friend told you, no, please, I don't want to do it anymore. I'm finished. I'm done. I don't want any more dick for your man. I'm fine. You said no, let's do it one more time. In fact, to ease it for everybody, I'm gonna have him ease on down my road too. And then you go in and find out that you kind of like, it. So you could have got fucked in.

[Kid Fury]

The butt the first time, right?

[Crystal]

And everybody would have been fine. My. My God.

[Kid Fury]

Had you just tried it out from the beginning, it's wild to me that after you see him fucking somebody else, now you're open to trying it. Like, why couldn't you have had that revelation before? Oh, break up with this man. Break up with this man.

[Crystal]

God.

[Kid Fury]

I definitely thought the boyfriend was like, I have to leave you. Cause I wanna be with niggas now. But that's not it at all.

[Crystal]

I really didn't, you know? And for whatever reason, I honestly believe. Believed when he was saying, like, I just want to do it. Like, I want to try it and this is what it takes and whatever. Like, at least you'll be there. And it was kind of like a backwards. What do they call that? Cuckolds. Oh, is that porn?

[Kid Fury]

I think that is it. There's like, where there's a black man. Your wife or something.

[Crystal]

I don't know if he has to be black. It's usually black. I guess that's what the market asks for.

[Kid Fury]

But I don't know why y'all want to see some. Some big black with a massive penis all in your watch. And your wife is over here moaning like she never does with you. I feel like it would hurt your feelings. Shouldn't it?

[Crystal]

I don't know. Whatever. But again, I'm not here to question anybody's sexual appetite. However, you could have just tried it and you would have avoided all of this. But way worse than that. You were already in a pickle in a jar of pickles.

[Kid Fury]

Lord. And you decided, oh, God.

[Crystal]

The best way to make the situation better.

[Kid Fury]

We don't deserve it.

[Crystal]

Would be to do it again with your friend.

[Kid Fury]

Ugh, I am not having sex. I'm not going in a threesome with my friend, man. Hell no.

[Crystal]

I was like, why do y'all keep asking me?

[Kid Fury]

But then you did it.

[Crystal]

But no, exactly. I mean, he did it the first time.

[Kid Fury]

It's like, y'all. Y'all are disgusted by the question. But then y'all. Y'all be like, oh, this is so awful. It's almost. What time do I come over?

[Crystal]

It's almost like, really rock star of you. If you have that kind of relationship with a friend, to be like, you know what? Sure. Like, that's very Samantha of Sex and the City. Although I don't watch it, so I'm probably wrong, but it's like, it seems like something that's like, yeah, sure, Whatever. I'll do such and such. It'll be like. Like the Real Housewives of Atlanta. But it actually happened. And, you know, then we'll never talk of it again. But then you were like, oh, yeah, sure, I guess I'll do it one more time. I don't. I'm confused from every angle. In fact, I'm confused from this nigga too, because he's talking about, oh, I'm not gay or whatever, which again, I understand that and I believe him. But now you uncomfortable, right? Because you don't want her to be friends with this nigga no more because you fucked him twice.

[Kid Fury]

And now it's awkward for you.

[Crystal]

And now it's awkward for you after you already. After you asked her after the first time you asked her if you could do it again and she said no and finally did it again with her. And now it's awkward. And you ever wanna see this nigga again, everybody involved should really just keep their genitals to themselves for maybe like a month. Just let them cool off, talk to em. Talk to your undercarriages and just figure out how you got into the situation that you are in and how to prevent that from ever happening again. But I. I mean, if you and your friends can have a stable relationship here on out, I would choose him before I choose niggas.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, me too. But you just need to break up with him because. Because you have led this relationship in such a weird direction.

[Crystal]

He needs like a few weeks.

[Kid Fury]

This is just so much.

[Crystal]

Or more with his thoughts.

[Kid Fury]

Huh? Okay.

[Crystal]

I can't believe she did it. And then was like, you know what? It wasn't half bad. Oh, my God.

[Kid Fury]

First one comes from Sheriff.

[Crystal]

All right.

[Kid Fury]

And Sheriff says, I have a dilemma. I hope you can help me with.

[Crystal]

Bet you do.

[Kid Fury]

I'm a straight man who has experienced some traumatizing events recently. Here is what happened. I met this girl at the club and I was fortunate enough to bring her back to the crib. Everything was fly. She was beautiful, with dark cocoa skin, a fat ass, natural hair, and lips that taste like passion fruit.

[Crystal]

I'm sorry. I was already done from fortunate enough to bring her back to the crib. This is a nigga. Okay, go ahead.

[Kid Fury]

We were hot, heavy and ready to smash when she pulled down her pen. To my discomfort, she had one of the longest clitori I've ever seen. I was surprised and confused. However, I did not want to hurt her feelings, so I played along with her confidence. I played it cool and went down on her. It was weird, but I got over it. The real problem came when she put her hand on my head and forced me to put the whole clit in my mouth and suck it. She was aggressive and in the mood, so I again played along. Most men would find this emasculating. But guess what? I liked it.

[Crystal]

All right?

[Kid Fury]

We finished hooking up and that was the last I seen of her.

[Crystal]

I bet.

[Kid Fury]

Side note, I cannot believe most men find that emasculating. What if a woman pushes your head?

[Crystal]

Yeah, I was confused into her. It's.

[Kid Fury]

You're doing something right.

[Crystal]

Men find everything emasculated.

[Kid Fury]

Can't nobody emasculate you. Your manhood is your manhood. We can't take that away from you.

[Crystal]

Especially if you liked it.

[Kid Fury]

God, what you were eating. How do you feel? Emasculated. Anyway, let's get back to the letter because it gets much crazier.

[Crystal]

I'm sure.

[Kid Fury]

Since then I've been searching for a girl like her, but I've had no luck.

[Crystal]

Oh, now he wants some more long clit love.

[Kid Fury]

Therefore, in my mind, the next logical thing to do would be to go after penis.

[Crystal]

Wait.

[Kid Fury]

The night with that girl left me confused about my sexuality. Okay, If I liked sucking long clits so much, then I might be gay, right? Sure.

[Crystal]

What?

[Kid Fury]

Sure you might. I went and found a guy and brought him home to tickle my curiosity. Okay, I told you I went down on him. I went down on him and to my surprise, I did not like it. We had sex and I felt uneasy the whole time.

[Crystal]

You kept going.

[Kid Fury]

I guess I'm just nice and I can't say no. But we were already in the act and I didn't want to be rude. You're allowed to say no since you are at any point allowed to say no.

[Crystal]

Male, female.

[Kid Fury]

Since then, I have sustained from sex for a while to ponder on my emotions. What do you guys think? I like long clits, but penis was not my thing. Am I gay? Thanks, Sheriff. This is what the y'all be asking for.

[Crystal]

See? Although, you know, like, the majority of my spirit believes that this is a lie. Right? It was too.

[Kid Fury]

It was a mess.

[Crystal]

Just imagining that it could be. Cause it could be true.

[Kid Fury]

So it could be.

[Crystal]

That is.

[Kid Fury]

That's why I said six brown chicks.

[Crystal]

I thought. I kind of thought that that story about homegirl who had a threesome with her man and her best friend was fake. I thought that that was fake.

[Kid Fury]

Could be.

[Crystal]

We met them niggas.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, God. What?

[Crystal]

They came to my party. You don't remember? We met them.

[Kid Fury]

Your party.

[Crystal]

My 305 live party last year.

[Kid Fury]

Oh. Oh, I think I blocked.

[Crystal]

You may have been drunk.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, I think I bl that out, so. Oh, shit. Oh, wait, no, this is coming back. They came up to us at the party and we're like, we're the ones.

[Crystal]

I mean, unless they liars too, but I don't believe. I think.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, maybe, but. So what do we have for sheriff.

[Crystal]

Sweetie.

[Kid Fury]

Does liking long clips?

[Crystal]

I like sheriff, but I'm drawing a blank here. I.

[Kid Fury]

You really thought so, sir. So you.

[Crystal]

I'm just trying to figure out how you arrived to the assumption that you must be gay. Dick was for you because you liked long clits. Like, that doesn't make any sense.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, I'm tired. It doesn't. It might be a long clit, but it's still.

[Crystal]

It's still a clitoris.

[Kid Fury]

It's still resting amidst the rest of the vagina. The rest of the vagina. So I just don't understand how having a long clit in your mouth made you think. Huh? That was delicious. Maybe dick next.

[Crystal]

You know what? Yum. E find any more, you know, girls? Normal clits, so.

[Kid Fury]

And I've had an ex with. Well, I guess it's different with lesbians. I was about to say that was not a problem in our relationship.

[Crystal]

I'm sure it wasn't.

[Kid Fury]

How ridiculous. You could see it from across the room. You could see it. I was just like, yo, so you just have a dick. Like, you're just gonna have a dick, and that's fine. You just are gonna. So. Okay.

[Crystal]

You know, all I will say to you, sheriff, I love it. Is that if this is in fact a thing that happened to you.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

I will commend you for your willingness to experiment with your sexuality. And not only that, I like where you went with this, but to ponder on it afterwards and figure out what this means to you. Our laughter should not allow you or anyone else to think that there is something wrong with. You know, it is healthy and it is actually very progressive. And, I mean, you were curious and.

[Kid Fury]

You wanted to know.

[Crystal]

Exactly. I just feel like the curiosity for man sex, I have a hard time believing that it was simply just because, I mean, I don't. It's still a vagina, right?

[Kid Fury]

Long clitoris or not.

[Crystal]

I mean, it's above a cooch, whereas a dick is above balls.

[Kid Fury]

I just feel like if you've slept with more than, like, five women, you have to be aware that, like, vaginas and all that, they come in a lot of. There's Lots of different ways they can look.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So the. The fact that an extra long clit threw you off so much that you were like, maybe I just need to deep throat some dick. It's just the leap there is a lot. But I appreciate that you were like, I'm curious about it so I'm gonna try it out. But it wasn't for me. I didn't really like having dick in my mouth. I fucked this nigga, but my heart wasn't into it, so. So I think you can rest assured. Cause his overall question was if he was gay. The fact that you did not enjoy sucking dick or having sex with a man leads me to believe that you are not. Me too. I don't think you're gay. I think you just like women being sexually aggressive.

[Crystal]

And for the record, most will never admit it, but a lot of straight men have experimented with men in one capacity or the next. Maybe not full blown sex, maybe not oral. The lots of men have and will take that shit to their grave. And that's their motherfucking business. Again, you allegedly were, you know.

[Kid Fury]

Right. Cause we don't know.

[Crystal]

Comfortable to an extent at least to say, thinking about dicks. Let's see what this is about. Not for me.

[Kid Fury]

Maybe that didn't make any sense as a thought process.

[Crystal]

Cause I just don't get it. I'm not judging nobody. I just don't understand how like Apple+Apple Apple equaled orange. I just don't.

[Kid Fury]

It didn't make sense. But that's all right.

[Crystal]

Either way, you landed where you did and you did some thinking for yourself. And I think that that is great. Women are permitted to do that all of the time. A woman could be dating niggas for decades and meet the right stud and be all of a sudden get in her life and be like, it's for me or it's not for me or whatever. And then ruin this damn stud's life. But that happens literally all the time and everybody's okay with. So you did the same thing. It's not your tea. Maybe you need to, I don't know, get girls with straps. Or maybe there's a long clip forum.

[Kid Fury]

A long clip forum. This should be an option on dating profiles. So your clit length, we're talking external view. How much of it is visible? Because he's like, if I can't see at least an inch of your clitoris, it's a no go. Just like that feeling just resting on your bottom lip. Don't you. That's all right. You can like it, you can like it. I think what turned you on so much about that encounter was that she had something that you thought she should have been ashamed of. Like at first you were like, jesus, what a long clit. But then y'all started fucking and you were really into it, right? And she, like you said, you played along with her confidence. I don't think she was playing with her confidence. I think she was very well aware that she had some good pussy and she was about to turn you out.

[Crystal]

Hey, you ain't seen her and you have been searching for her, just going around casting her long clit spells, turning them gay. Let me not say that before y'all fuck around and think turning gay is a real thing.

[Kid Fury]

Now I'm picturing like somebody using that clit as like a wand, like Hogwarts.

[Crystal]

When Gotti.

[Kid Fury]

Love you so much.

[Crystal]

Lumisol M.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, yeah. You're not gay, baby.

[Crystal]

You are.

[Kid Fury]

You're not gay.

[Crystal]

I would vote no. And I'm pretty gay.

[Kid Fury]

But kudos to you, right, Father K?

[Crystal]

That was good for me. See, it didn't have to be true. Like that was fun.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. So our first question this week comes from Kendra who says I'm gonna get straight to the point. My ex husband and I are both fine ass black doctors.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Well thanks bitch. She didn't say the bitch. I just included it for a fact.

[Crystal]

Right? I mean that's how it felt.

[Kid Fury]

We've been married for two years. Together for eight. Our careers are great and we've been trying for our first baby. We're both 33, okay? We had the careers, the house, the cars, and no student loan debt.

[Crystal]

Life married to medicine.

[Kid Fury]

Life is damn near perf. And if we weren't fucking, if we weren't working, we were fucking.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Sounds perfect.

[Crystal]

I mean, I haven't heard anything bad yet.

[Kid Fury]

I say all this to say that life was as perfect as humanly possible until something happens.

[Crystal]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

I am an OB GYN who works at a private clinic. But one night, a close friend of mine asked me to cover his patients while he went on his anniversary day with his husband. My husband said he was at work, so I had no need to let him know that I was called in to deliver a baby.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Imagine my surprise when I walk in to meet my patient and my husband is in the room kissing her forehead. I do believe I died on the inside, but I maintained professionalism and I delivered a beautiful baby girl who looks everything like I imagined my daughter would look, which is a spitting image of her daddy. Throughout the six hours it took to deliver this baby, I acted as if my husband was a complete stranger.

[Crystal]

Okay, Tyler, you didn't have to write this to try and prove a point. Like, you clearly felt away and you wrote this in because you're trying to prove that you can.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, this sounds incredible to me. Like, I don't know how you could just sit there and act like your husband is not.

[Crystal]

There wasn't a scalpel in reach.

[Kid Fury]

This is what the email says. I acted as if my husband was a complete stranger. And as soon as I could, I left and went to my sister house where I've been for the past month. I filed for a divorce and I blocked all communication from this nigga. Now here is the motherfucking bitch ass fuck my life kicker.

[Crystal]

That's not it.

[Kid Fury]

It isn't. I just found out that I'm five weeks pregnant and I do not want to keep it. My family and friends are against my decision, but I have no interest in being a single mother or spending the next 18 years co parenting with that man and I will never take him back. This may sound selfish, but I am too angry slash miserable to bring a person into this world. I honestly have no love left in me. I am broken and empty inside, but not really, because there is a fetus in me. Okay, I have a therapist who I used for premarital therapy and I am book to start seeing her again next week. The day before my scheduled abortion. What do you guys think. Am I being irrational here? Any advice from some impartial people would be great. Thanks, Kendra.

[Crystal]

Are you being. Are you fucking serious? Kendra?

[Kid Fury]

So Kendra sent this, like, as soon as we left the studio last week. So at this point, I think she's probably had her abortion and. Or seen the therapist.

[Crystal]

Mm.

[Kid Fury]

But if this is a real letter and not just something somebody randomly made up because it sounds a little incredible, I'm just.

[Crystal]

I'm really okay, because did the nigga just be like, oh, hey, woman, I don't know.

[Kid Fury]

Like, did he not freak the fuck out? Like, did nothing happen? Like, literally neither one of y'all said nothing, and you just delivered this baby like it was nothing.

[Crystal]

And the woman who you pulled a human being out of doesn't know that that nigga's daddy is your husband.

[Kid Fury]

Right? So it sounds very crazy to me. But also, we have read very crazy letters and then saw people in person at shows, and they were like, oh, that was me. They were like, what? That was your real life?

[Crystal]

Yeah, I just. And you know what? I be in the house. So sometimes it's just, like, hard for me to believe that stuff happens. Right.

[Kid Fury]

So I'm gonna assume you're telling the truth and just say, I don't blame you for wanting to have an abortion.

[Crystal]

I'm pro choice, so, I mean, and if.

[Kid Fury]

Honestly, I can say all the things in the world about how you make more than enough money and you can support and love a baby or whatever, but you said you feel like you don't have no love left inside of you and you feel broken and empty and all that, and that's not fair to a brand new human.

[Crystal]

It's just not.

[Kid Fury]

It's not.

[Crystal]

Because having to deal with that, even if it's just for the first few years of the kid's life, can make an everlasting impression on them. And it's not fair that this fuck nigga placed y'all in a situation where now you'd have to contest with that. So while anybody could be like, nah, she should have that baby. Da, da, da, da. I can respect everybody's opinion on it because it is a complicated subject, but at the end of the day, like I said, I'm pro choice, and it's your body and your mind, and I feel like you are well within your right, especially within these ridiculous, ridiculous circumstances. Zane, like, circumstances. These Eric Jerome, Dicky ass circumstances, Black.

[Kid Fury]

Chicks Meets the Shade Room ass bullshit.

[Crystal]

With a little bit of the neighborhood talk.

[Kid Fury]

Like, this is some, you know, morning Radio show, crazy letter coming through or whatever type of shit. So if your husband really put you through all that, then I don't think it's a soul in this world who couldn't understand why you'll never take him back and you for damn sure don't want to then give birth to his child. Like, I don't think there's anybody who couldn't reasonably understand why you feel that way.

[Crystal]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

So I don't think you should carry any guilt about it. I'm so glad that you are going to therapy. And you know, if you know that cheating is a deal breaker for you and you willing to give up everything that you have because fuck that nigga.

[Crystal]

The nerve of this nigga. You know? You know your wife is an obgyn. You know she is.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. Like it just goes to show like these niggas don't care and could have whole ass medical degrees and be dumb as fuck. It just don't make no sense.

[Crystal]

I mean, we've said before, like you can be educated and still be stupid.

[Kid Fury]

Oh yeah. Oh yeah, absolutely. What's. What's his name? The HUD secretary? Br. Ben Carson.

[Crystal]

Oh yeah, that's a prime example. Literal brain surgeon. That is one of the stupidest motherfuckers I have ever heard of.

[Kid Fury]

All ignorant, dumb shit at the. At the exact same time.

[Crystal]

Wow. Girl. Well, yeah, I mean, it sounds like you've got your pieces set up, you've got therapy and you know, again, I feel like it's your decision when you decide that you do, but wow, I.

[Kid Fury]

Mean, we have always maintained that we can't tell you what to do with your body. Just like we can't really tell you to break up with a nigga. We're just suggesting it because it seems like a good idea.

[Crystal]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

Whatever you decide to do with your body is up to you. But if you're saying things like, I feel like I have no love left inside of me and you're pressed pregnant, then again, not telling you what to do, but a baby don't deserve that.

[Crystal]

And is it pregnancy enough and emotional and one.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, especially like y'all have been. I don't know if she said they've been trying for a baby, but like, well, she did. See, and you're both 33 and you had this perfect life and all that. Like, you have a lot to grieve right now. So maybe, you know, adding a baby who might come out looking exactly like his or her, her damn daddy, it just might be. Listen, because you just saw this one that you delivered so you like. I I fully understand you taking care of yourself and so I will tell you to do what is best for you and not worry about what anybody else has to say about it.

[Crystal]

In the meantime, this part is for your sister. Now what time are we riding out? Because you need to have somebody gas up the F150.

[Kid Fury]

That's right.

[Crystal]

And punch it down the pavement.

[Kid Fury]

That is right.

[Crystal]

And don't stop until you in that nigga's driveway. Woo sh.

[Kid Fury]

That is so real. Like for all your cousins. Girl, when do we ride because this nigga is wild.

[Crystal]

Simply have to beat your ass like.

[Kid Fury]

I just don't even know what else to do here. How dare you.

[Crystal]

I don't have a choice.

[Kid Fury]

Again, you have the kind of patience and calm that I could never pray to possess if you really sat here and delivered this man's baby like it wasn't nothing cuz my word could not ever do it. But best of luck to you with whatever you decide to do. Again, very happy.

[Crystal]

Woo.

[Kid Fury]

This letter Are you really?

[Crystal]

This letter comes from Aerith. It says Dear Kfir and Crystal I and then in parentheses it says 2025 F. So a 25 year old female just recently got married to the love of my life. Parentheses 26M in February this week I was supposed to be on an island on my honeymoon, so I know she agitated but instead I am quarantined in a three bedroom apartment with my husband, our one year old son and his disabled mother. She's older and her health is slowly but surely deteriorating so my husband opens for her to stay in what was once our home office under any other circumstances will be fine, but she is beyond terrible. Her assisted living facility, the home informed my husband that they had a couple of confirmed cases of COVID 19 and we were thankfully able to get her tested before bringing her back to our place. Not even a couple of days into the quarantine I noticed how much my husband's personality was suppressed around her and I also noticed that he didn't show me nearly as much affection as he usually does if she is within ear earshot. I've talked to him about it and he says that he's that that's just how she is. But her being how she is is the main source of why he and his three other siblings who have effectively cut her off, are in therapy today. Well, prior to her move, I hadn't spent much time with her outside of family gatherings and she hadn't attended our wedding or any of the any of the events leading to it. I figured it was due to her declining health, but last week, I discovered that it was because she didn't support our marriage. Marriage. We've gone back and forth nonstop over every little thing. But the last straw came today when she told my husband, quote, as soon as we go. As soon as we get to go out again, you need to check to see if this baby is really yours. Right in front of me.

[Kid Fury]

No, girl.

[Crystal]

Without saying anything, I calmly got up from the couch and went into her room and immediately began to pack her shit. I was talked out of throwing all of her stuff off the balcony, but at this point, it's either me and the baby or her. I do have a few family members here in Seattle, and I am strongly considering staying with them until this lockdown is over. But I am concerned that if I do leave, my husband's mental health would be even more jeopardized. What would you do in this situation? And then she put. Sorry if there are many mistakes. I'm literally shaking as I type this. Please help.

[Kid Fury]

I'm sure you are. I'm sure you are. I would be livid.

[Crystal]

So. So I read this.

[Kid Fury]

You in these prayer hands.

[Crystal]

I read this, and I felt like, you know, you're already headed down the street, that I would happily be walking my ass down. Yep, I'm going to stay with my people's name. You let me know when this bitch is gone. I can't do this. I've compromised with you and letting her be here, letting you not be as affectionate around me because she's here, letting you just all around be weird, letting her just say little things that I don't like. But where I'm absolutely going to stop the buck is at this woman questioning the paternity of our child in my house where she is a guest. I understand that that is your mama. And you want for your mama to be healthy or as healthy as possible and safe as possible. And you can do all of that while me and my child aren't here. So my things are packed. I left a note in the hallway. You let me know when she's back at Shady Pines, because I'm not doing this. I'm not doing it. I'm not interested. I feel like that's fair. And if that affects your husband's mental health, you've already wrote in this letter that he's in therapy, so he can take that up with his, you know, therapist or whoever it is that he speaks with. Just because your. His mother's health is deteriorating or whatever it is that she's dealing with, doesn't mean that she gets to be disrespectful to you in your house. Like, you already. Your home is already supposed to be a place where you can have peace regardless of whatever the fuck else is going on outside. Guess what's going on outside? A pandemic. So, like, right, you gotta be at home, which means yet you're at home piece is that much more important. Like, thank you. It's essential. So her, for whatever inexplicable reason, being disrespectful to you in her house where she's a guest for her own goddamn health and safety is unacceptable. I would absolutely pack up my and my baby and going over to my mama, cousin, auntie, whoever, the house in Seattle that I need to stay with, and then he can figure out what he has to figure out until the lockdown is over and she can leave. And then it is. It just is what it is. You just got married literally in February. Both of y'all are in your mid-20s. So I don't even know how this stuff is affecting you financially, anything other. Like, you have enough to be concerned with, not to mention you have a one year old. And your one year old damn sure doesn't need to be cooped up in a house where you are ready to strangle your mom, mother in law, because she's disrespectful.

[Kid Fury]

Right?

[Crystal]

So I just feel like you're on the right path here and you need to go. And just the same way that you have been attempting to compromise with whatever she was doing up until that point for the. For the health and, like, benefit of your husband. She should be doing the same thing for her son. And it's too many people who feel like they can just be wildly disrespectful and, like, nonchalant about people's feelings. Even in situations like this where you're taking care of them because they're older or because the person who is taking care of them is their child. No, sis, you had your family. This is mine. So it doesn't work like that. So whatever you got to do to get your husband to see that and respect that shit is what you need to do. Because guess what? He got three other siblings under the umbrella of this woman who said, don't even talk to me about her because she ain't coming over over here. So there it goes. Maybe she needs to understand why that is or acknowledge why the. This is the only one of her Kids that is even willing to put up for her.

[Kid Fury]

That is the exact point I was gonna make. It would be different if everybody else loved her and your husband was the only one. But the other three siblings have said that that's why she's with y'all. So that leads me to believe that it's her and not you. And so. And so under those circumstances, and especially with that disrespectful ass that sure to say in your face, don't mistake. That wasn't a mistake she made. She did that on purpose.

[Crystal]

Yes, she did.

[Kid Fury]

The fact that she's so willingly spit in your face really means that that absolutely has to go or you have to go. And so the only thing I would concern myself with is sitting my husband down and being like, look me dead in my eyes and understand that I'm serious about this. Yeah, me and your baby will be gone from this house before the damn sun sunset, and we will not step foot batting this until she's gone. And it's up to you to decide which one of us is gonna leave. But I'm finna go get to packing.

[Crystal]

And to be honest with you, I have a couple of insects and fossils to turn in at Nook's Cranny anyway. So, like, your time is soups limited because I'm definitely checking into my cousin's house before then.

[Kid Fury]

So figure out I actually really need to make sure I go harvest all my fruit trees, I mean, and see what the sale price is on these tiny turnips. But after that, I'm leaving. So you better figure it out before then, because we getting the out of here. What she not gonna do is disrespect me to my face. That's what she's not gonna do. And it ain't no second chance coming.

[Crystal]

Back from your house. Let me be like, you're not staying at her house for this quarantine, right?

[Kid Fury]

Where she's not helping y'all.

[Crystal]

Like, mama is in your home, where you're raising a child and having a family and paying rent and all that other stuff. Look, I understand that you want for your mama to be healthy and stuff like that. I'm not gonna take that away from you. But what I am gonna take away is me from this. I'm leaving, so figure it out. I won't be here.

[Kid Fury]

When you got married, you said you were gonna put this woman and your family first. You said that. And it's not like your wife is being disrespectful to your mama. Your mama is being disrespectful to your wife. So the choice here is cloth. Clear. It's clear. So you know, if he's not ready to do that to his mom, then you just have to be ready to follow through on it. Girl, don't say that. And then stay another week any damn way. If you threaten him and be like, I'm leaving in the next two days or whatever, your ass need to be gone in the next two days if that woman is still in your house.

[Crystal]

And guess what? You, me and the therapist can get on Zoom. Hey, mama too.

[Kid Fury]

Oh yeah, we can all do that. We can all do that. But I won't be.

[Crystal]

But I will be broadcasting from my own house.

[Kid Fury]

And that's just that, you know, now happens to be the worst time to go to prison. So I really don't want to. So I'm gonna leave because otherwise I'm definitely going and this is a bad time. So y'all let me know. Email me the Zoom link and I'll download the app. But until then, she can kiss my ass and you can too.

[Crystal]

That's real.

[Kid Fury]

If that's who you picking over. Me and your baby gotta figure their out. They gotta figure that out. So let him do that. But make sure you let him know where your boundaries are with that.

[Crystal]

I don't like sister in laws or her like her brother's like siblings other like their spouses and whatnot are probably like, sorry for you, bitch.

[Kid Fury]

Oh yeah, you know, all the sister in laws probably have a group chat and they like, girl, I don't know why you let that evil bitch.

[Crystal]

I don't know. I told Tyrone, bitch, I will fire her. I don't care.

[Kid Fury]

For real. The rest of them is like, I told that bitch in 2003 I was gonna fuck her up when she talked to again.

[Crystal]

I ran up on that in Shady Pines. Nobody said nothing to me cuz they don't like her either, so.

[Kid Fury]

Oh God. Good luck to you, sis. But you absolutely don't have to tolerate that, especially when you have family in the city. That's a blessing. So make sure, you know, call your mom and be like, I just want to let you know me and the baby might have to come crash because of this and his mom.

[Crystal]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

And. And other than that, be ready. Yeah. To do what's best for you and your child.

View important disclosures at acorns.com/the Read yeah, last one comes from Gina who said very nice things about us and the show and then she brought up my favorite therapy. She said y'all both discussed the positive impacts of therapy which makes me so happy because I'm a therapist who works with communities of color in New York City work and I often have to challenge some of the stigmas folks have about mental health and seeing a therapist. I enjoy hearing y'all help to destigmatize this. Like both of you, I believe therapy can be a meaningful and impactful space to work through personal challenges in a supportive space. But I do believe that people must be committed to doing the work which you both have expressed doing. Yes. And it is by far the hard part. Yeah, by far.

[Crystal]

You're talking about breaking just decades and trauma and trash. So that still with me?

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, like oh wow, I'm really still in my feelings behind something that happened when I was nine. That's wild. All right. If you're comfortable sharing what have been some challenging commitments you've had to make for your own mental and emotional emotional wellness and what have been some joyful results of this hard work. Love you both. If you're interested in crafting a free to low cost resource of therapists of color in the NYC area to share with your listeners, let's do it with love. Gina. Gina. First of all, that sounds like a great idea because low cost and therapists of color is two things that need to go together more often.

[Crystal]

Like, let's make that a reg.

[Kid Fury]

People of color are broker and also more traumatized. Yes. So. So I don't know how we can get something like that started, but that sounds like something we need to be working on. I brought this up because, first of all, we stand for therapy. And also because I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I wanted to start doing maybe a little mini segment on therapy. I have a poll going on my Twitter right now where I'm looking for suggestions for the name of the segment. It's between Shit My Therapist says Niggas need to Know and Crystal Scouts. These are all listener submitted. What am I thinking of? What's the word? Suggestions. So I want to start doing that probably next week. But I've been thinking a lot about the hard work of therapy because I feel like that's how the segment is basically going to be crafted. Just me going, here are some lessons that I've picked up and how they have had an effect on me. So one of the big things for me has been growing up in the Bible Belt with conservative family and, you know, really being raised in that environment of. Of kind of always saying yes and being accommodating to people no matter what. I have a very big problem that I did not even know was a problem with always wanting everybody to be happy and comfortable and having a good time and just like, not. Not everybody. Not like people I don't know. But the people I'm particularly close to are people I allow into my home. I just want to go above and beyond, and I end up doing the most and things that most importantly, nobody asked me to do. Like, I just kind of go out of my way to the point where I make myself uncomfortable. And it's very difficult for me to say no. It's. It's difficult for me to say no to myself when I am just, like, voluntarily doing the most. And it's difficult for me to say no when I really want to. Like, if somebody asks me for something and I don't necessarily feel comfortable doing it or don't really want to share myself or my space in that way. It is very hard for me to be like, no, I'm sorry, I can't do that. So I've been working with my therapist over the past several months on why I feel that way and how I am allowed to prioritize myself and My own wants and needs have to come first because you can't take care of everybody else out of an empty cup. First of all, I don't have to take care of everybody else. Everybody else has their own cups, their own families, you know, their own kids, whatever. It's not my response, responsibility to save everybody else. But I also, if I want to do that, I can't give all of this consideration and love and care and support to everybody else and not pour all of that back into myself. And that is something I have never learned how to do, which is like a very real aspect of self care that I have just been missing my whole life. I have never known, excuse me, how to just pour like compassion into my own self. I can give it to everybody else, but when it comes to me, I'm the type who will kick myself a million times for making one mistake and I will never let it go. I'll be like, you stupid bitch. Like, wake up in the morning dragging myself. Like, I see you woke up today with your trash ass. Remember when you said A and what you really meant was Z with your dumb ass self? Maybe one day you'll grow up and stop being such a dumbass and get your shit together and stop fucking up on small things. Like I do that sort of thing. And that's just one part of like not talking to yourself like trash and treating yourself like you matter and you're important and it's okay to fuck up. And you're proud of yourself because you're human and you're doing the best you can to get through this thing called life. Like, I'm human just like everybody else. I'm trying to get through this shit. I'm going to fuck up occasionally, but I have to have the grace to forgive myself and move on and do better and learn from those things. And also be able to say yes when I really, really want to and feel compelled to and feel okay with saying no when I really, really don't. I have a hard time doing that. So that has been one of the more challenging things for me. Learning all that in therapy and then going and putting it into action in the real world and actually doing it, like unpacking all that and spending lots of time at home thinking about therapy and the ways I need to change and being mindful and like just going to the mirror and being like, bitch, I am really proud of you. Just saying something like that has been so huge for me, but also very difficult. So if you want to share something that's been challenging for you, feel free. If not, you know, I get it. That's very personal, and you don't have to.

[Crystal]

But I mean, for me, I feel like I have. I always have something different to talk to my therapist about, but it usually all comes back to the same thing, which is very similar to what you were talking about. And then I overthink a lot about pretty much everything. And I think about, like, things from everything that I need to do this week to then everything that needs to be done today and the best way to do them or in the order in which to do them. And then I worry about, you know, making everybody else happy. And I have so many times where I inconvenience myself because I want for everybody else to be situated or happy. And a lot of times, like, you're saying those things aren't even necessary. You know what I'm saying? Like, everybody would have been straight if I would have just sat my ass down and been quiet and not having to, like, extend myself or mix myself and all of these things all of the time. I just don't. You know, I think that a lot of the things that trouble me from, like, the pressure of being recognized so easily or judged or whatever, like, a lot of that is from, again, like, a mentality that I've had for most of my life. I've supported, suppressed it, and can a lot of times. But other times, it's just, you know, a part of who I am. And it's difficult, I think, to. I think it's difficult to, like, work, especially in the field that we do, where you have to be creative and you have to be. You have to hold yourself accountable and you have to be disciplined, and you have to do all of these things in order to remain creative, to remain working, to have the energy that you need to get your ass up every single day and do whatever is necessary for you to remain active, remain working, and, like, pay your fucking bills. And when you have the ability to kind of just be like, fuck today, and you can. It's so easy to just be like, fuck today, because I can. Especially if you don't feel good about yourself. And I know that, like, sometimes I honestly feel defective. Like, I feel almost like I don't have a proper working human brain. Because sometimes I think that, like, I'm just thinking too much about things or worrying about stuff that doesn't need to be worried about, or even when we're talking about shit like, you know, the dog turd in office. I think about a lot of those things on Like, a global scale. And, like, why are people so hateful? What is the root of it? Let me go through the history of life and figure out what. Like, I don't know. Like, I feel like my brain is always on 10,000. I don't know how to slow things down. I don't know how to compartmentalize anything. My brain is always running wild and it's always in, like, pessimism mode. And so therapy for me has taught me in many ways to just kind of chill out, give myself a break, be kinder to myself, be fair with myself, allow people to fix their own shit, get the fuck up off on their own two feet and do what the fuck they need to, because, A, in many cases, they didn't ask me to do shit for them, and B, in many cases, they need to, because there wasn't really anybody that was like, here, girl. Here is YouTube. This is how you build a blog. Here is how, you know, here is a camera to shoot it. Here is how a podcast work. You know what I'm saying? Like, so I'm just learning, I think, to, like, give myself a break, cool down, breathe, and also look at the journey that I've been on and a lot of the things that I've been able to do as the kid that was wearing hoodies in 85 degree weather in Miami to hide from people because you didn't want to be seen as that kid that, like, didn't have and was afraid of people. To be, like, on the bill at fucking ESSENCE Fest.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yes.

[Crystal]

To be, you know, selling out shows around the fucking world. To be on a Netflix show that you loved when it was a movie, all of that stuff, for me, a lot of that is just me working, and I'm grateful for it. But when you look back at it and you're just like, you did that. And yet.

[Kid Fury]

And I don't do that.

[Crystal]

I don't.

[Kid Fury]

I don't let myself have that moment. I'm never like, girl, never do it. Look at the accomplice. I don't. And then when I. Never mind. I'm sorry, I don't want to take your.

[Crystal]

No, you're right. It's just like, when. For me, it's like, it was done, it went well. Amen. Great. Next. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like, right, let's smoke and let's do whatever it is that we have to do next. Because I got to. Like I said, we have to be responsible for ourselves. You know what I'm saying? So I don't give myself the opportunity that much to look back and really appreciate how hard we've worked, all of the stuff that we've done, to be where we are right now. And when I have done that a little bit, it, it, it gives me a bit of, like, calm because it's like, you ain't ever really known shit. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I didn't stay in school. I didn't, like, go to learn sound engineering or, like, comedy school or nothing. Whatever, whatever. And I was still able to accomplish a lot of things I never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever would have expected to. So, like, if I would just calm the fuck down and shut the fuck up and stay prayed up and keep God first and do all of the things that I'm supposed to do, even in all of my raggedy ness, maybe I'll be fine. Like, and then I have some water and I take a nap or play a game.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. And allowing myself the space to feel however I feel has been very important in that. And sometimes I have days where I am just stuck in my head and on the couch and I can't feel, figure out why I can't get past myself, and I just. But I just can't do it. And then other days, I'm super productive and ready to take on the world and can get so many different things done, but just allowing myself to feel whatever it is I'm feeling, go through whatever it is I'm going through and not beating myself up for it one way or the other, and just trying to remind myself, like, girl, you're. You're doing okay. Like, you're taking care of yourself. You know, you are not. You are not all the horrible things your brain tells you that you are or you're not. Like, you're not. I don't know. I don't. It's not a worthless thing. It's just that I don't ever take my foot off my neck.

[Crystal]

Exactly.

[Kid Fury]

I never.

[Crystal]

That's why when we were at Essence and I was bawling so hard during Fantasia's moment where she brought her brother out, because I was watching that, I was just like, I. It. Well, my. My life could literally so much worse tomorrow, yesterday, today, or whatever. And she brought this young man out in this wheelchair, and he just had the biggest smile on his face, so proud of his sister. A. What's up, y'all? I'm at the stage at Essence or whatever. Meanwhile, I was up in my hotel room, like, for the majority of the Weekend. Like, there are too many people here, and my brain is gonna explode. I'm miserable. Like, for what? Go get you a fucking grenade and shut the fuck up.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, but that's how. When you're in your own head and there is no bitch, let's just go get a grenade and say, fuck it. Like, you can do that and still not really feel it.

[Crystal]

Yes. You have to. Just, like, I think that, yeah, I'm learning to just be, like, aware of the process that I put myself through or, like, my habits, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of that stuff. And so when I see it coming, I can check myself a little bit more. And then I'm also learning, through my therapist methods of, like, combating all of that stuff and just stuff to do every day, whether it is, like, my diet or whatever really going on besides meds.

[Kid Fury]

So many things I need to be doing. And it's just like, the better care I take care of myself or the better care I give myself, the more I am able to do those things. But that has been very, very huge for me, just learning how to really take care of myself. It doesn't mean, you know, buying whatever you want at Macy's or whatever. Yeah, no, it's like being. Treating yourself the way you treat your friends.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Which I have had a real issue doing. Being a best friend to you, being compassionate. Like, some of the things my therapist knowing. My therapist would be like if, you know, if one of your friends. And she knows all y'all names, she was like, if somebody said, you know, person a and they meant person in, would you really sit there and, like, drag Kia, like, for weeks about it? Would you be like, you goofy? How dare you mix something up? Like, no, of course not. You would be like, sis, we all up sometimes. It makes no difference. Yeah, still a boss. Can't nobody tell you nothing. Hashtag, we have a PhD. Yes. Hashtag, we have a PhD. Can't nobody tell us nothing. Like, it would very much be like that. Whereas. But. But when I'm talking to my. Myself, there is none of that. Or there was.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

None of that graciousness. So that has been very big for me. Join us next week on Crystal's couch, where Niggas need to know Shit. My therapist says, I don't know. We'll figure out what the title is. So from Carlton, who says, I took your advice and told my boyfriend. And it went well. We laughed about it. He apologized like, nigga clean your course. It went well, right? He apologized and he has been spotless. Ever since. And we even managed to make it back to the bedroom. Amen. There was one hiccup, however. His sister, who it turns out, also listens to this show, figured out that I sent in this letter after he brought up the subject in front of her as a joke and she went on a rant. She said, I obviously don't respect her brother or our relationship because I can't seem to keep his business to myself. And that I embarrassed him by writing into the read. And he should think about that if he, quote, needs someone that childish in his life.

[Crystal]

Girl, don't nobody know who the fuck your brother is. Girl, we don't know who he is. And he needs to clean his nails. Like, like that's just nasty.

[Kid Fury]

So Carlton continues and says, rachel, I know you are listening. So maybe if you spent less time in your brother's affairs and more time focusing on your own, your man would not have left you. And you would have something better to do with your time than just being around people's houses uninvited, pissing them off, talking shit, planting seeds of doubt in their relationships. You need Jesus. No shade. But shade. Thanks again, Kip. Fury and Crystal. You guys are amazing. So listen, it's going to be mad awkward at the next family function, okay? If the sister is listening, I mean, you know, you could. You could just let it go. But you know, I feel like Carlton said, you know, bitch, try me. So you just never know what's gonna happen when you write into the show. Well, you just.

[Crystal]

Here we are. We are just right here.

[Kid Fury]

All right?

[Crystal]

Like, life is a TV show.

[Kid Fury]

And the fact that she sent the message through us was like, I know you listen.

[Crystal]

Since she is listening and she has so much to God damn say.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, Jesus.

[Crystal]

I just want you to know, like, what? Why? Okay, sure, Abs. Why not?

[Kid Fury]

All right.

[Crystal]

Yes, yes. It comes from Nessa.

[Kid Fury]

Okay. All right, Nessa. We ready?

[Crystal]

Nessa said I came across this letter from a student. And then she posted a photo of a letter from a 6th year old student. Then, I don't know.

[Kid Fury]

I'm gonna go in the inbox and look for it.

[Crystal]

I don't know if this is directed towards her, but I'm assuming it is. Whatever. Anyway, I'm gonna read the picture from this. It says, Dear Ms. Jones, I am angry of you because you took 25 of my hummingbird bucks all because I was talking to Connor. That's no big deal. I am. I can't be quiet all the time. And that makes you a thief and, and crook. And you are going to hell. Real hell. The burning one.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, my God.

[Crystal]

Because you a thief. I worked hard for those bucks. And my only prayer in chapel today was that God gets you to hell, Hell fast. Super fast. This is the part that set me. And your new haircut is bad. Real bad.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, my God. Yo, you pissed him the off Isaiah.

[Crystal]

Let me tell you something. Isaiah wants his goddamn homie bird bucks and he wants them now.

[Kid Fury]

Okay? You better sleep with one eye open, cuz Isaiah's not with you. What are.

[Crystal]

This had me crying.

[Kid Fury]

This must be some kind of school thing where they get rewarded for good behavior or whatever and they spend it in the cafeteria or something, right?

[Crystal]

I'm assuming it gets you like, snacks or colored pencils or some shit like that or whatever.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, something like that.

[Crystal]

But Isaiah was like, first of all, I'm six. Like, I. He literally said, I can't be quiet all the time and spelled quiet. Q, Y, E, T. Here's the thing that's really great about this. First of all, amazing read. Like, really. I aspire.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Crystal]

Like, this was a fantastic read.

[Kid Fury]

Got you together, girl. Ate you right on up.

[Crystal]

Also, I appreciate the fact that Nessa did not transcribe this and simply said, I'll let it speak for itself, because there's a certain. There's a certain level of charm, because it is. It literally looks like a 6 year old wrote it. Like the penmanship, the misspelled words that are cute. Because a six year old read it, wrote it, I just found it. Unlike when Tyrese misspells words. So it's like this. I was lit. Like I'm telling you. I. I was in tears when I read this shit.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, my God. It really is. I hope God gets you to hell fast. Super fast.

[Crystal]

He said real hell. The burning one. And called her a thief twice and a crook and then. And then said, you new haircut is bad. Real bad day.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, oh, oh, oh. I wasn't ready.

[Crystal]

Isaiah. Isaiah said, you thought that I was getting up out of here before I addressed that haircut that you thought we didn't notice. It's a mess. You're a mess. And I want my money back.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, Ms. Jones, you going to ask when Isaiah see you again? He's going to beat your ass. I just hope you know that he is going to whip you. Your ass.

[Crystal]

This is one of the funniest. Like, I. Like, I needed this and I got it.

[Kid Fury]

We should post that image because y'all really don't get how funny, like, I.

[Crystal]

Was gonna ask, like, Then when you.

[Kid Fury]

Look at yes, because it says Ms. Jones and Isaiah, those are very common names. I say let's do it. There's nothing private on it. And it's just so much funnier to see it in his little angry six year old handwriting. Cause, you know, he was big pissed.

[Crystal]

Yeah, I'm opposed to.

[Kid Fury]

I don't want. I don't want you to think I'm saying go to hell, you know, like everybody else say it, and it's just a euphemism. I mean, take your raggedy ass to Satan's land and pray for eternity.

[Crystal]

Like he said real hell. And then said, in case you think I'm joking, I had one prayer in chapel today. Let me tell you what it was.

[Kid Fury]

Oh. Oh, God. Okay. All right. That hurt my rib. Okay. Whoa.

[Crystal]

Thank you, Nessa. And thank you, Isaiah, because Lord knows I needed that. And you know what? You stood up for yourself. And what's up?

[Kid Fury]

You did.

[Crystal]

Because you. You can't be quiet all the time. That said, I'm six. Like, what do you want from me? I. I am six.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, but still, sir, like, okay. All right.
