[A]

Where? What college?

[B]

Guilford College.

[A]

Where's that?

[B]

It's, like, in Greensboro. And, like, it felt like it was bad because all my friends with UNCG and I was the only one who didn't get in. So I had to go to that school first for a year and then transfer, but I was like, I'm not doing that. L. A is my dream.

[A]

And then you went to L. A?

[B]

Yeah.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Was it depressing when it ended?

[B]

No, you were ready. I was ready. I was ready for something new. I was already in L. A. I was already, like, established. I was like, I really want something new. And that's, like, YouTube started, like, taking off, so.

[A]

Right, okay.

[B]

Okay. That was that.

[A]

And then when did you start your podcast? Which is no longer, but was amazing.

[B]

We'll miss it. We miss it. We actually started that in Covid. So then Covid, we. We just had, like, a laptop and some microphones, and that's all we did, girl. And then, you know, we did Cute Four Seasons, and now we're, like, doing something bigger and better, so. Yes.

[A]

Did you have any fun in New York? When I saw you at the shoot, you were like, I like it here.

When I was living in New York, when I first experienced New York, I was dating a guy there and I made friends with all his friends. So, you know, when you break up with your boyfriend, now no one's going to be your friend anymore. So I had no friends there. Not one friend, not one.

[A]

So what did you do on a day to die?

[B]

I was in the house a lot. I had two friends there. One moved away, one had a falling out with. So once they were gone, I was like, I have nobody here. Like, nobody. So I was like, let me get up out of here.

[A]

And now you're here.

[B]

Now I'm here. So happy.

[A]

But the nightlife here is just so ass.

[B]

Right. You know, but my thing with New York is, like, I just would have so many mental breakdowns because everything was so do or die.

[B]

Yep.

[B]

Are you serious?

[A]

And I just, like, looked away, and he kept saying, I'm going to kill you.

[B]

See, that's also New York. Like, you're not supposed to pay attention to bystanders either. You just, like, really mind your business.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

But, like, I want to know, right? Like, like, what? Like, that's crazy.

[A]

And then he got off the train and kept looking at me through the window and said, I'm going to kill you.

[B]

Was that like a normal day for you or something like that?

[A]

No, it was weird. I remember getting to school and being like. And I was in eighth grade and I remember being like that. Something weird happened to me.

[B]

Yeah, that's very crazy.

[A]

And then another time somebody whispered in my ear, give me your money right now and your phone.

[B]

No way.

[A]

And for some reason, I just kept walking and he kept following me and following me and following me and I just kept walking. I used to be so brave.

[A]

I've only seen early seasons of Atlanta.

[B]

Okay. Period. Like, you know my also favorite, Salt Lake. Like, come on now.

[A]

I'm just so, like, the only one I can give my full heart to right now is Salt Lake.

[B]

Okay. Period. I mean, Salt Lake is like such a good, good franchise. I would never think, though, that's who.

[A]

They are in private. You met them? No, that is who they are.

[B]

You've met. Filming tea. Come on, girl. To me.

[A]

So I was with Heather and Angie at the law school.

[B]

Love Heather. Love Heather. I love Heather.

[A]

Heather is just. And she got a lot of last season.

[B]

She sure did.

[A]

But I don't know why. I really love her.

[B]

Yeah, I think she's like an easy target. That's what it was. Yeah.

[A]

You know who else I love? Just because she's so messy And I used to hate her.

[B]

Whitney. I love Whitney. She brings the bone always to the table. Always, always. I'm like, she always got a bone. I'm like, girl, what you about now? I live. I live for her.

[A]

Do you miss Monica?

[B]

I miss her because she brought the drama. That was a crazy season.

[A]

That was insane.

[B]

Like, insane. Literally.

[A]

But I would think, okay, Bronwyn.

[B]

Not my favorite.

[A]

Not my hater outfit. Favorite.

[B]

Sorry, girl. They look. They're very like, Picasso, abstract look.

[A]

It's just like my issue with Bronwyn is that, like, she can't take the heat, but she could sure give it.

[B]

Oh, she can give it. She can read down.

[A]

But she was like, no. You know who can really read? Angie.

[B]

Oh, you think Angelic Mary.

[A]

No.

[B]

What?

[A]

Angie. Well, obviously Mary. But when Angie said, what did she say? Her husband has one foot.

[B]

Oh, on a banana peel.

[A]

She said, oh, she's already crying.

[B]

I said, oh, and the drama with her.

[A]

Yes. I miss Jen.

[B]

Oh, Jen. Will she be out?

[A]

I don't know if they'll have her back. Her crimes were really bad.

[B]

Were they really that bad?

[A]

Have you seen the documentary?

[B]

No.

[A]

Take a moment.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Period.

[B]

Take a moment.

[A]

Watch the documentary.

[B]

Just like identity theft, right?

[A]

For old people, it was. It was bad. Like, these old people lost all their money.

[B]

She was stealing from the old.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Wow. Okay.

[A]

But she really brought it. She really brought it.

[B]

She really brought the drama. I loved her. I loved her crash outs, but yeah. Oh, no, she can't stay on now.

[A]

Now she can't.

[B]

No, no.

[A]

Okay. So I think. Well, you've seen all of New York.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I love. I love. I hate the new season. I did not like it. What?

[A]

Okay. Oh, so you watch everything.

[B]

I'm like. I'm an OG New York like you. Oh, my goodness.

[A]

Ramona.

[B]

The new cast.

[A]

Right?

[B]

It just didn't really give anything.

[A]

Did they cancel it or.

[B]

They did. I think they did.

[A]

Because it was that bad.

[B]

It was that bad. Like, those two seasons were not good at all. I felt like the girls, they're cute, but they're not cute for Real Housewives.

[A]

Well, didn't they, like, play a prank or something and then, like, trick the audience and then admitted that they tricked the audience with this last season, like Brin or something. They made up some lie about someone being pregnant. Do you not remember this?

[B]

With this last season? Yeah. Brain got kicked off, right?

[A]

Because she, like me. She, like.

[B]

She, like, said that. Oh, my God. It was so. It was. And it was very serious.

[A]

But early Atlanta's the Best.

[B]

Oh, my gosh. Oh, Nene. Her against Kim. Everything.

[A]

I remember her against Kim.

[B]

I loved it.

[A]

But then, like, I didn't watch. I don't think when like, like Portia came in.

[B]

Really? Because that's when Kenya came in.

[A]

No, no, I watched when portion. I must have just been so young. The only one I remember is Kenya, Nene and Kim.

[B]

Really? Yeah. You remember the rest? Like charade.

[A]

Oh, I remember Charai. She by charade.

[B]

Come on now.

[A]

Is that. Did that ever launch?

[B]

It did.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

They're just T shirts.

[A]

What was it supposed to be?

[B]

Athleisure wear, Work life wear? I don't know, but it just came out. T shirt said she by shirt.

[A]

Did they? Like, were. Did she. Was she embarrassed?

[B]

I would be.

[A]

Right?

[B]

But she kept it going, though. That's why I live for her.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It is what it is.

[A]

And who's is. Are any of the OGs from Atlanta still on?

[B]

Oh, you didn't watch the season. Oh, okay. The only OG we have on the streets, Phaedra. We have Portia. And then Kenya got kicked off.

[A]

Phaedra's still on.

[B]

She came back.

[A]

I love her.

[B]

I love Phaedra. I love it. But this was just really, like, not her season at all. The drama, it wasn't good. I feel like we don't have, like, the old drama anymore because they're, like, inviting all these new girls.

[A]

But also I feel like they're so. I feel like the issue with Modern Housewives that Salt Lake doesn't have is that they're so privy to what people say about them online and they self produce so much.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

So it's a problem.

[B]

Exactly. That's like, no, like old Beverly Hills. I need old Beverly Hills. Like, I need. I feel like I need wealthier. You know what I mean? Like, wealth you can't touch. Yeah. I was like, everybody reaching out, child.

[A]

Right. And it's like. But it's also like, all smoke and mirrors.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And like, if you're a housewife, like, the chances of you going to jail are so high.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because now they all do glam and they all have to pay for these events. And I'm like, why doesn't Bravo pay for these events?

[B]

Do they not?

[A]

No. With all the housewives have to pay for their own events.

[B]

I'm pretty sure when they go on trips, they're paying.

[A]

Yes. Then what is Bravo doing with bringing the camera? Oh, T. I think I'm right. I think I'm right.

[B]

I mean, I really thought Bravo. Like, okay, you have, like, you know, this budget. We'll do a trip. They have to. The housewives not paying for a trip for them to film.

[A]

Really, though?

[B]

I don't think so. Bravo has to do that for them. Come on now, Andy. Girl. Come on now, girl. Yes.

[A]

Are there any other Bravo shows you like?

[B]

I do like Summer House.

[A]

I need to get involved.

[B]

I love Summer House. Summer House is really a cute show. Southern charm was cute. Are these all Bravo? And this means it's Peacock. No, it's Bravo's Bravo. Yeah.

[A]

Did you watch Love island this season?

[B]

Of course I did. Huh?

[A]

Right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I watched a few episodes and was like, I don't need to do this.

[B]

It stressed me out too much. The way the Internet took Love island and really are like, fighting, like, they know these girls is really insane to me. Like, I think it's actually mentally like a problem.

[A]

It's worse than last season.

[B]

It's really bad. I've seen, like, men who are like 50 going off on Hutta and I'm like, you need a job. Like, what are you doing? It's really, really bad. It's like, I've seen so much drama on TikTok and stuff. I'm like, you guys are fighting these girls battles. They don't even know you.

[A]

Right? They don't even have their phones.

[B]

They don't have their phone. They're like, girl, why are you going this hard? For me, this is just a show. Like, they are like, they're making it a big thing than what it is. It's really. It's like, people need to go outside, touch some grass, go work out. This is just too much. And I thought the show was done, but now they just keep talking about it. I sit on my timeline all the time.

[A]

Who did you like, though?

[B]

Who's my favorite? Yeah, my favorite. Me. Amaya, always. Am I. Because she's like a real girl. And, you know, I love Shelly. I love Alondra. And you know, people are going to be mad about it, but I did like, honey, because I've crashed out like that.

[A]

I loved how I saw. I was like, she's great.

[B]

She's great. I'm like, I've crashed out like that. Right? So valid. I've done it before. I'm so sorry. We've all been crazy like that before.

[A]

Of course.

[B]

Come on now. If I'm gonna find love and I'm in love, like, hey.

[A]

Also, like, I'd be so paranoid in that house.

[B]

Oh, me too. The cameras are everywhere, girl.

[A]

Everywhere.

[B]

They got them in the toilet. Everything Child, like, you know. I know. Like, you really. Oh, my God. They're in the bathroom. They're up here. They're everywhere. They really catch me acting up. I can't be up. But I want to be honest about.

[A]

Did you like you on Love Island?

[B]

I would love to be on Love Island.

[A]

How good would a gay Love island be?

[B]

I would love it. I would love it. But we would be nasty on there. Girl.

[A]

I want it.

[B]

I want it bad. Did they have one that they had?

[A]

Like, it's called I Kissed a Boy, and it's a UK One, but it's.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

The issue of it is that they pair the guys up before they even get there.

[B]

Oh, okay. No, I want to actually go in the villain, right?

[A]

I'm like, it's. It's different. It's different. And, like, did you watch last season of Love island, though?

[B]

I did.

[A]

So are you watching beyond the Villa? I am. Kayla's bringing it.

[B]

I love it. No, I live. I live. I just love, like, Serena. I love.

[A]

Oh, Serena's made for tv.

[B]

She really is Serena. She really woke up Love Island. Like, I'm like, that's the reason why. Like, come on.

[A]

100 woke it up. She did.

[B]

Well.

[A]

She crashed out about Cordell, period.

[B]

That crash out with. So valid. I love her.

[A]

Oh, 100. And I think that's. But she. She. She did an interview, and she was like, I didn't think anyone watched the us respectfully. And until. And so once they. I found out that, like, when everyone watched my season, I was like, oh, everyone saw me crash out.

[B]

Yeah. And I loved it. I was like, girl, this is so real. Like, I would do the same thing, too. Like, how you gonna mess on Come back with that girl?

[A]

That was crazy.

[B]

That was awful. And where is she now?

[A]

Where is she now?

[B]

I'm like, hey. Whoa.

[A]

Well, Ricky, what are you therapist about today?

[B]

What am I therapist about today? Oh, my goodness. Just men in general, right? Honestly, like, I feel like dating is just so bad right now. Like, are you dating?

[A]

I'm trying to.

[B]

What do you mean trying? You on apps?

[A]

Like, I'm on apps, but it's so hard to. Like, there was. I'm going on a date this Friday. Oh, no, no. But then he was like, but maybe we. It's a party, and maybe we should invite other people. So I'm like, yeah. I'm like.

[B]

Oh, yes.

[A]

[B]

I love a six foot something.

[A]

Right? He's really, really, really hot. I just don't know if what I'm experiencing, what I'm going to experience Friday night is a date or a hangout.

[B]

Well, well, maybe he's not like, you know, introduce his friends first. Maybe that's like, you know, the first move or something.

[A]

I'm not looking for new friends.

[B]

Oh. Period.

[A]

Are you?

[B]

No. I'm so over it.

[A]

I'm sorry.

Have you ever. Have you ever been on a date and the guy's been like, by the way, this isn't a date.

[B]

Yes. I want to cry.

[A]

What happened to you?

[B]

So basically I was, like, really into this guy. Like, I was really into him. I was like, oh, my God. Like, he finally has to hang out. And then we get. We get there. He was like, you know what I'm saying? You know, right now I'm not looking for a relationship. I'm just trying to, like, figure things out. This isn't a day. It's like a hangout. And I was like, okay. And I had to pay for the meal.

[A]

That's.

[B]

The same thing happened to me.

[A]

The same thing happened to me.

[B]

Okay. You're like, you can't crash out because I'm like, I don't think I still really want you. Right.

[A]

You can't be like, well, date me.

[B]

Right. I can't. You real crazy. Like, no, I don't want that. But, yeah, it was really awful. It really hurt.

[A]

I had a, like a come up to me mid. When I. After I was told that it wasn't.

[B]

I love how you call them. I love. Right. I love it. I love it, I love it.

[A]

And they said, I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt you on your date.

[B]

And I was like, oh, God. It's like.

[A]

And I paid.

[B]

Wow. How'd that make you feel?

[A]

I wrote a song about it.

[B]

No way. You're really heartbroken.

[A]

I was really. I'm like, I've. I made a comedy album, but this is the one song that everyone was like, are you. I don't think you were kidding.

[B]

I'm sad.

[A]

And it was, like, embarrassing, but it's a banger. Oh, Louise, just think.

[B]

[A]

Oh, yeah. I sing it on tour.

[B]

I smell a Grammy. It's coming. No.

[A]

Do you ever. Did you. Did you and Denzel ever take the podcast on tour?

[B]

No. Before we could actually, like, do stopped.

[A]

So I miss it every day.

[B]

I miss it so much. We talk about, like, if the podcast on, we'd have the whole castle of violin on there right now. We would have got some nitty gritty girl.

[A]

Also, I want to see. See, I need to know. I need somebody in the villa to tell me what it was like when Sierra was removed, right?

[B]

I wouldn't know. I want to know because I saw Maya. I didn't really get the full information. I said, I know something else went down.

[A]

Wait, what did Amaya say?

[B]

She said when she was in the cold episode, she was like, you know, we didn't even know. Like, she just went away and she was just gone. No girl, was that true. The clip. Was that her crying in the back? Did you remember that?

This episode of Therapists is brought to you by booking.combooking. yeah. Okay, so right now it is about to be football season. Okay. There's a lot of people traveling for games in college, out of college, whatever. When I was in college, it was so difficult to plan these games, and I could never go because it was so difficult to find a place that everybody could stay depending on what the hotel had. Like, if it had what you needed, a few was in the location you wanted, all of that. And so with booking.com it actually makes it so easy to book because everybody can put in their different needs. I never go on group trips because finding a place that suits all of us is so difficult. But if somebody wants a king bed, if somebody wants a queen bed, if somebody wants a shower, if somebody wants a tub, if somebody wants a terrace, if somebody wants walkable, you put all these things in and it shows you the rooms that have it all. I really stand by the fact that I think the hardest part about booking a trip is figuring out where you're gonna stay. You know, flights, you always find a flight, you always find activities to do. But finding a home base is so hard. And booking.com makes finding a home base for your trip so easy. They also have vacation rentals, like house, house and apartment rentals. They also have. You can rent cars if you drive and you need a car for vacation. Like, they really have everything you need to make your vacation as full as you need it to be. Or even if you're going solo because you want to know that the hotel or the place you're staying at hashtag exactly what you need. Find exactly what you're booking for on booking.combooking. yeah. Nick is just like.

[B]

He is so sexy. Those eyes.

[A]

I like the way he talks about, like, oh, he.

[B]

You can just definitely know that he knows how to protect his woman.

[A]

Uh huh.

[B]

I live for that. Wow me out.

[A]

Who did you vote for in the finale?

[B]

I voted for. I did vote for them. I did. Because I love Alondra. I love her. I love how real she is. She's everything. I love her. But I was also getting upset with. I was like, girl, this man does not want you. Wake up, wake up. But I get it, though.

[A]

Nick is.

[B]

Nick is better for her. And they look so good together.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And she brings out a finer side of him too.

[A]

Right? Well, they're, like, obsessed with each other.

[B]

I know. I want that. So Bad.

[A]

I know. Do you believe in Huda or not? Amaya and her guy? Do you believe that? Like, do what Love island relationships do you believe are not real?

[B]

This I was talking to this about. I was like, who do you think is the first Love island couple to break up? And he said, am I and Brian?

[A]

I see that.

[B]

I see it, too, because I feel like Brian was in the villa enough, you know?

[A]

Right.

[B]

He. He saw the Ticket child. He went for it. But I don't know, maybe he's, like, liking her now because how can you not like her? Like, I'd be obsessed.

[A]

She's so funny.

[B]

She is so funny. I love her. She's everything.

[A]

How do you think they're gonna, like, change the season for next season?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

This season was undoubtedly a disaster.

[B]

It was a disaster. Like, literally. I've never been more mad at TV before in my life. Really. I was so sick and tired. I was like, there's a video. My friend was like. He was on Tick Tock Live. I was like, oh, I'm sick of this show. Like, in the background. Like, I was at the club watching it. Like, was I My phone.

[A]

But people weren't happy about watching it.

[B]

It was so bad. It was badly edited. It was just like. It was so much background stuff going down. You had people getting kicked out left and right for being racist. Like, Jesus Christ.

[A]

There was no background check.

[B]

Nothing. Nothing. Like, the girl. You, Lisa, you list, like, whatever.

[A]

Oh, yeah, she was kicked out, like, day two, girl.

[B]

Right? They said, wake up. They're like, you got to get out, girl. Out the villa. I thought, now she's over here doing meet and greets. She's doing meet and greets. Hey, you guys. We can meet and greet at the Dolphin Mall. I saw that. I'm like, okay, girl. Like, people are coming up to her. She's like, I love my fans.

[A]

I'm like, girl, wasn't she in for two episodes?

[B]

She. I think she left episode two. I think they're like, yeah, you're the size last develop. I was like, oh, wow. Damn.

[A]

But it's like, let's be. I wish they were messy and they would show, like, old reality television would show people leaving.

[B]

I know. I want to say a crash out, full down. Like, I don't like it.

[A]

Do you ever watch old reality tv?

[B]

Oh, yes, of course.

[A]

Bad Girls Club.

[B]

Of course. Yes. I love Bad Girls Club.

[A]

It's my favorite show of all time.

[B]

I love it. But I really will say this. I hate the way Natalie is now Me too. I hate it. I really hate it.

[A]

Did you watch Baddies?

[B]

I watched whatever. I couldn't do it. It's too much. Girl.

[A]

Okay. I watched Body South.

[B]

Oh, we got a band in the house.

[A]

Baddie Southwest. And then I fell off on Midwest.

[B]

Girl, I didn't even know they had a Midwest.

[A]

No, they have Southwest, Midwest, Caribbean, and Africa.

[B]

How do you know that?

[A]

Because I am like, subscribe to Zeus.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Period.

[B]

I can't. Like, I feel like that TV right there will with my mind.

[A]

No. And it did. And the. It did. I just. I miss Bad Girls Club so much. Like, what Bad Girls was to me as a kid was like, what was your favorite season about Girls Club?

[B]

My favorite season, when I did with Julie with New Orleans.

[A]

Right now I'm re watching New Orleans.

[B]

[A]

Tiara was my favorite.

[B]

Like, oh, my gosh. And what was the other girl?

[A]

The one sauce. Stop. Who?

[B]

Anastasia, who beat the girl up for having.

[A]

Yeah, love it.

[B]

Love it.

[A]

She said, I'm gonna give you five seconds.

[B]

See, I missed that. Now the fights. You over here breaking teeth and all this. I can't even see it. It's not for me.

[A]

Well, okay, so you don't watch, but, like, basically every episode of Baddies goes like this group meeting, group meeting. Because they have to go out for the night, and they're like. And every single episode, without fail, you get one confessional of a girl goes. You know, when Natalie calls a group meeting, you know, some shit's about to go down. Every episode.

[B]

That's every episode.

[A]

Then they get in the group meeting, and Natalie says, before we go out, we need to squash our problems. And then somebody stands up and fights somebody else. And then somebody else stands up and fights somebody else.

[B]

And then this is every episode that.

[A]

That is the rundown of Bodies.

[B]

But what is also, like, the premise of the show? Like, I just said, get this bag. Get this money. What money are you getting?

[A]

Okay. So it actually used to be real.

[B]

Like.

[A]

Like Baddie south, they had, like, they would go and make do club appearances, and they would make money. So that was the bag they were getting. And, like, they're. The drama on Baddie south felt real to me.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

But you know what season of Bad Girls Club I did just watch?

[B]

What?

[A]

Did you ever watch season five with Kristen Kelly?

[B]

No. Which?

[A]

Oh, Miami.

[B]

I haven't watched it in years. Okay, Miami. Oh, I do remember they went to Miami and they had that cute little house like it was on South Beach. Right.

[A]

Well, there's Two Miamis.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

One's a more recent Miami. Which was the worst. Do any of you watch Bad Girls Club? Did either of you? Oh, my God.

[B]

Really? Y' all didn't watch Bad Girls? What?

[A]

You missed out.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[A]

Live out loud.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, I miss oxygen. It's all just a thing. Is this. Oh, wow.

[A]

I don't think so. Well, no, it must be on Oxygen. I used to watch everything.

[B]

Everything.

[A]

Reruns of America's Next Top Model, reruns of Bad Girls Club.

[B]

What was it like? The murder show? Snapped. Oh, girl. I was like, I'll be angry.

[A]

Snapped was my favorite.

[B]

So good.

[A]

Oxygen was the best channel.

[B]

It was. It was. It was everything. I don't know why they got rid of it, because I guess reality TV is just, like, change now. Well.

[A]

Well, do you want to know what really changed about reality television was the drinking rule.

[B]

Oh, I know.

[A]

So they used to be like, you guys can black out, right? And, like, if you watch old Bad Girls Club, like, they literally black out. And, like, they don't. They wake up the next morning and they're like, sorry, but like, on Love island, they're like two drink max.

[B]

I understand that, though. Like, I feel like if they really were allowed to get, like, it's only wine, too, they would get some tequila up in there. It'll be a big problem and liability and stuff, you know, because the girls have to suit nowadays. So it's like. Yeah, right.

[A]

Well, you know what ended Bad Girls Club, right?

[B]

Oh, the whole thing with the twins.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That was too much.

[A]

That was.

[B]

But that would say took it too far.

[A]

Well, the producers encouraged it.

[B]

Yeah. And they were like, tear her up.

[A]

Do they have to? And they were like, peeing and like.

[B]

Girl, I wish somebody would. Oh, my gosh. Oh, I would have left it in handcuffs that day. Yeah, I.

[A]

Sometimes I watch that show and I'm like, how did. Like, do you remember in Julie season when they tried to kick Julie out?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

They took her and then Julie took Shelly's girlfriend's thing. Or do you remember I served you breakfast in bed?

[B]

So what happened with this one person?

[B]

Oh, this one person? Well, okay, I had very valid reasons. One person was, like, talking to this dude that I was like, we broke up. And then he was like, oh, well, you guys broke up, so why can't I talk to him? I was like, I was done. But it was like, you know, gay men are diabolical. They really are. Like, I don't know what it is about us. Us, but we. If we want something, we're gonna get.

[A]

It's like do or die.

[B]

We were at the club, and this guy's like, oh, your man is fine. I said, yeah, girl, I know he's mine. Well, can we not share what he. I got into a big argument. He had pulled me back, and then my wife was like, you. My ex was like, you are too much. I'm like, you wouldn't be. Are you serious?

[B]

And maybe she'll tell you why she goes ghosted you. Maybe. Like, I. Okay, When I think about this, when people go shoot, they're probably Going through something really, really bad that you don't know what other people are going through.

[A]

Right?

So it's like, give. Hear them out. That's why. I mean, I've been through that. My friends, like, damn, you've ghosted us. I was like, girl, I was going through it. Not. I wouldn't, like, share my problems with you too, Right?

[A]

So are you easy to open up and share your problems, or do you keep them to yourself?

[B]

I am. I hold my problems, but when I get drunk, it's when I let them all out.

[A]

Me too.

[B]

Remember two years ago, we did to me, it was actually awful. I'm like. But I don't, like. I feel uncomfortable. People like, it's gonna be okay. Sympathy makes me so uncomfortable.

[B]

Like, I'm scared. I'm like. Actually, I feel like I've gotten uncomfortable when I've, like, gone to, like, gay parties, like, overseas. Oh, God, girl. This is a whole lot different scene over there. What? They're just, like, you know, just touching and stuff, and I can see it. I'm like, oh, my God. But.

[A]

Oh, they just have sex in public.

[B]

Yes, they do. So I'm like, wow. I know. It's. It's actually amazing, but it's like, I feel like I can't do it because I don't want to say, oh, my God. Like, I know you.

[A]

That's how I feel.

[B]

You know, it's like.

[A]

But, like, if I. I would. I would partake I would partake down in it.

[B]

Are you kidding me? I will go on that, Sonic. I'm just so scared. Oh, my God.

[A]

All right, last one. I slept with a guy, and he had a name tattooed on his chest. I said, oh, that's cute. Is that your sister? And it was his ass. I don't really see the problem.

[B]

You don't? I do.

[A]

Well, like, he must have been so in love.

[B]

Well, that means you don't love me, because I'm so sorry. I feel like if you have your ex at on you, that means you're thinking about you're gonna get back together with them. That's happened to me before.

[A]

What, like somebody.

[B]

I will never forget that. There was this guy I was talking to. So hot. So hot, girl. I still think about him to this day. Like, oh, my gosh. I remember he had, like, an A on his wrist. Uhhuh. I was like, what does it mean? Oh, no, it's my friend, and I met his ex. I said, what's your name? Yeah, Yeah. I was like, oh, wow.

[A]

And then that was it.

[B]

That was it. I was like, oh, you still love him? They got back together too. No.

[A]

What's the hardest you've ever crashed out.

If we. When I'm. When I'm with my man, don't try him. Don't look at him. Don't say, he's fine. Don't touch him. Don't buy him a drink. Don't do nothing. And I want you talk to him either. I don't want my man talking to you either. Right. I love my man. Quiet on mute. Thank you.
