Introduction

In the Valentine's Day special episode titled "For The Love Of Tam Bam," hosts Tam Bam and AJ Holiday set the stage for an engaging and heartfelt discussion aimed at helping women navigate the complexities of relationships. The episode kicks off at [02:38], where Tam Bam warmly welcomes listeners:

Tam Bam ([02:38]): "Welcome to We Talk Back, where we encourage you to hustle hard, laugh louder, and always keep it cute. So grab your coffee cocktail and crown. Cause it's about to go down."

Valentine’s Day and Super Bowl Experiences

The conversation quickly delves into personal anecdotes surrounding Valentine's Day and the recent Super Bowl festivities. AJ shares her solo Super Bowl experience, highlighting an encounter with a friend who offered her edibles:

AJ Holiday ([03:20]): "I might around and get me some dick in 2025. 2024 was real slow."

Tam Bam contrasts her experience by attending a lively Super Bowl party, complete with upscale appetizers like crab legs and oysters:

Tam Bam ([05:02]): "We actually went to a Super Bowl party. My guy, one of his childhood friends, had, like, a really nice setup outside. Crab legs, oysters. I did bring a plate. Also these little appetizer little things I be making out of King Hawaiian rolls, child."

Super Bowl Halftime Show: Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake

A significant portion of the episode centers on the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar. Tam Bam expresses her admiration for Kendrick's performance and critiques the role of Drake in the current music landscape:

Tam Bam ([11:37]): "I feel like it speaks to a lot more, just like, you know, for black Americans, period. You know what I'm saying? These people ain't like us, but they be borrowing from our culture all the time. But when it actually comes time for y'all to stand up for black people, y'all be MIA, right?"

AJ adds her perspective on Drake's influence and the dynamics between the two artists:

AJ Holiday ([14:15]): "That's who Drake is. He studied hip hop like a college course. You know what I'm saying? And this is what I'm. This is why I feel like 'They’re Not Like Us' is bigger than the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef."

Celebrity Relationships and Cultural Appropriation

The hosts transition to discussing high-profile relationships, specifically focusing on Serena Williams and LiAngelo Ball. Tam Bam expresses her disapproval of LiAngelo's public romantic gestures:

Tam Bam ([21:31]): "They already have another child together, right?"

Nico ([60:16]): "I drive forklifts. When trucks pull up to big construction sites, I'm the guy that pulls all the wood, all of those heavy materials that come off the truck for big skyscrapers."

He discusses his views on traditional gender roles and his passion for cooking:

Nico ([65:36]): "I do think that we have to grow as a society, and if women want to be considered equal and want equal pay, then we have to change the tradition."

[Willie]

I mean, even if you took the clam out for the best day ever.

[A.J. Holiday]

Talk to him.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

We're just two unapologetically black women with an opinion who talk back.

[Tam Bam]

Hey, y'all. It's your girl A.J. holiday. What's up, Tam Bam?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Hey, y'all. I love y'all. I love you too, aj. This is love week. This is Valentine's Day.

[Tam Bam]

Y'All. We got a very really lit show this week. Anyway.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I might around and get me some dick in 2025. 2024 was real slow.

[Tam Bam]

How was your weekend? Did you watch the Super Bowl?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I did. I had so much fun watching. I watched it by myself. But let me tell you what I did. One of your favorite people from the Breakfast Club came by here and was like, oh, I got edibles. You can take one. It just makes you calm. It just mellows you out. I was like, girl, I don't like edibles. Because you just never unhide. You just hide too long. She was like, girl, this ain't gonna do that, babe. You could not tell me I was not on the field with Kendrick Lamar.

[Tam Bam]

The thing with edibles is that you just don't know what the real dosage is. Like, you really don't know how much. Whatever. Whatever it is. If it's a shroom, some shrooms, or thc. Like, you don't know how much is in a. Like, how many. How much do I take of this? Did I take a whole one? Half of it a piece? So you got to micro everything, girl.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I was. It was coming in waves, and I. You know how I forgot I took it. And I was in here, and it was just like halftime was about to start. And I was like, what is that? Oh, shit. I'm high as fuck right now. And I did not fall asleep till like, four in the morning. I was up all night. I call every nigga I ever knew in life. I FaceTime all. What you doing, bitch? I'm watching the Super Bowl.

[Tam Bam]

What are you doing? Why are you on the phone calling people?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I was like, it's boring. It's boring. You're losing. What are you watching for still? Like, talk to me.

[Tam Bam]

Stupid. We actually went to a Super bowl party. My. My guy, one of his childhood friends, had, like, a really nice setup outside. Crab legs, oysters. I did bring a plate. Also these little. Little. Little appetizer little things I be making out of King Hawaiian rolls, child.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

But it be.

[Tam Bam]

It was good.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It's a hit.

[Tam Bam]

Yes. And was lit. So now y'all know. My Ravens did not go to the Super Bowl. Okay. But I definitely was rooting for the Eagles, and I kind of already knew they was going to win. Something about the Eagle in America and the place we at right now. You know what I'm saying? I just knew because all of this is scripted as far as I'm concerned, especially sports. I don't know if the script had enough for Patrick Mahomes to lose this fucking bad. But I kind of expected it nonetheless. But it was lit, man. I did have a shroomy yesterday as well. I had alcohol. I was actually doing too fucking much yesterday. And I could not go to sleep last night. I woke this nigga up like, hey, like a baby. Like, I can't go to sleep. I was in the bed, so antsy, like a crackhead bitch from a shroom.

[Willie]

Yes.

[Tam Bam]

Because I guess because I took it, too. Usually when I take shrooms, it's either, like, really early or, like, in the evening, like, where I still have time to, like, settle down. But I don't know why I was feeling so anxious. And then I. I don't know. I don't even know what type of shroom it was just popping because people got it. That's what you shouldn't do. Somebody shouldn't be able to just put anything on your plate.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You know what? We both did that last night. Because I don't take edibles. I just was like, oh, I'll take it. I'm in here by myself. I'm chilling, watching the super bowl. And I was going to go to a party, but I'm glad I didn't, because I would have been paranoid out.

[Tam Bam]

There, tripping out, and it's snow.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It snow here, right? Exactly. Tripping out, looking stupid. It snow here. And I'm not a snow girl. I realize I'm not built for that for me. So, like, when it was time to go out because I agreed to go to a party, and then once it got time to go, I was like, I'm gonna order me a little small pizza to come here and be okay with that. But I did enjoy this. I mean, we knew the Philly was gonna win. You could feel it. You could feel it before it came, that they. They had the momentum, they had the energy for, you know, and I'm happy for them. Absolutely. So. But it was not a good game, you know, like, it was boring. Typically, super bowl is a formidable opponent, is good to the end, and they scratch tooth and nail, fight tooth and nail to win at the end. But this was like, y'all at least put some points on the board so y'all not blown out completely. Don't embarrass your coach at this point, you know, so. But yeah, Kendrick. I love Kendrick's performance. I thought it was good. I enjoyed myself, but I was on drugs, so I don't know if it was that or if it was really that good, but I really had great time. It was very black. It wasn't a. It was just a black. It was a. Apparently, it was a DEI halftime show.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, get it out.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Exactly. Very, very, very giving. Di.

[Tam Bam]

Yo, y'all made me sick, man. Listen. So I don't know what's gonna happen with what's your boy, Tom Brady, because Tom Brady actually called it, I think. I think that he was on the. What. What is. Where does he host. Tom Brady is on one of the, like, the sports commentary shows, and he was saying basically how. Basically the referees have been winning the games for the Chiefs for a long time, like, calling up plays on the other team and stuff like that. So we didn't see that last night. They had a lot of things called on. On the Chiefs, so I don't know, somebody pull a rug somewhere. And this is coming from a cheater. Okay. Because we know that Tom Brady was flattening footballs and all type of shit. Yeah. He had going on, so.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

But even if the refs wanted to cheat, y'all got to catch the ball or run that a little bit. God damn.

[Tam Bam]

Help us out.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

They didn't help the ref at all to cheat for them.

[Tam Bam]

So let's just get into stupid Internet news.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Did you see the guy who ran out on the field? He had a Gaza.

[Tam Bam]

He did.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

He ran more yards than the chief.

[Tam Bam]

Right. I didn't see it during the show, but I saw, like, the after, like, people posting about it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Right.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, I feel like that's something. Kendrick Lamar probably actually orchestrated the part of the show. Yeah, I feel like it, because, I mean, I don't think people are publicly standing with Palestine enough. A lot of people scared to.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You know what I'm saying?

[Tam Bam]

Because it's like, Israel is our daddy as far as I'm concerned. Leo, don't come for us. I know Riverside is owned by you niggas, but please don't come for us. But I am always going to be against the annihilation of any people. Like, we experience that as black people in America.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Did you see in the audience? It lit up. It said, warning, wrong. Wrong way.

[Tam Bam]

No, I didn't see.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It was a flat. It happened real fast. If you want.

[Tam Bam]

I saw the game over at the end. That's all the same thing.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It was the same thing, but it was during the show. It said, warning, wrong way.

[Tam Bam]

Interesting. I'm gonna have to.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

There was a lot of subliminals in.

[Tam Bam]

That, and I usually watch for that. But, you know, I was on the Shroom, so my head was down half the time. I was missing little pieces of stuff.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

And I usually don't watch for that, but I was on the edible, so.

[Tam Bam]

You were zooming in, right?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Oh, goodness, let's. Is that our first sin?

[Tam Bam]

Yeah. That's why I was like, let's get into stupid Internet news so we could talk about Kendrick Lamar's performance, which was not stupid Internet news. But, you know, this is a segment where we talk about the happenings around the world. So I personally give my own take. I did enjoy the performance. I do wish I heard some more of the other popular songs that. I mean, but he has newer album. Has a newer album now, so, you know, I want to give that a little bit more exposure. And people are saying, like, oh, he shouldn't have give so much, like, energy to the whole Drake shit. But the song they Not Like Us means to me. Right. More than a Drake beef.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Right.

[Tam Bam]

You know what I'm saying? I feel like it speaks to a lot more, just like, you know, for black Americans, period. You know what I'm saying? These people ain't like us, but they be borrowing from our culture all the time. But when it actually comes time for y'all to stand up for black people, y'all be mia, right?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It's. You know what? Listen, I still love Drake. I don't care what nobody say. I still love Drake. I don't turn my back on people I love just because the world don't with him like that no more. I still love Drake. I feel so bad for him. I feel so. I mean, I understand. You know, he brought a lot of this on himself, and I get that. So I can't, like, I can't say Drake is absolutely right and everybody else is wrong, you know? No, I can't say, sit here and say that. I don't understand how this came about, you know, I do.

[Tam Bam]

It's definitely some back office we don't know.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Right.

[Tam Bam]

Some. Some grimy. He had to have been doing to a lot of people.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Right? Because what kind of karma is you getting? My Drake so slim now. He look like he been taking those in. He's so slim, you know, like he in on his Australian tour. I just. I felt really bad because I just try to put myself in people's shoes all the time before I condemn them. And I try to imagine. Could you imagine the super bowl?

[Tam Bam]

The most televised event in the United States? Yes.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

And it's a diss song for aj like our A Tam. Tam is fat. No, Tam is fat. No. Everybody's singing it. Oh, my God. I don't know how I would be able to. You got to be a strong individual to like.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, there's a lot of. That's why I don't even like big events like that anyway, like, to actually be in attendance because it's the energy of the people that's making happen. Everybody's saying this thing. So he really, like, he used the energy of the people to demolish that nigga's career for sure, man. I just.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

He. He was the most streamed person in 2025 so far. You know, he gave us 15 summers of good music. You can't deny what he has done for hip hop, you know, in the culture. Everybody loved Drake until last year.

[Tam Bam]

You know, I introduced Drake to a whole office of people for sure when he first came out. Like, I was bumping Drake that his mixtape.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

Like, I know I put a lot of people on the Drake. So I've been listening to Drake for a long time, but I also have always known and said what, Tammy?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

He's a white man that infiltrated hip hop.

[Tam Bam]

That's who Drake is. He studied hip hop like a college course. You know what I'm saying? And this is what I'm. This is why I feel like they not like us is bigger than the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. Because these people come in and they. They study us. And even like black women, like, why we can't make. I mean, some. Some people do like sexy red and all of them, like, that is a type of black woman. Right. That exists. Right. All of us can't really make money being who we are a lot of the times. But somebody else can come in and cosplay. Like, you sent me that video with Iggy and I saw that. I always wonder, like, why the fuck Iggy Azalea just Don't rap in Australian accent. Like, why are you cosplaying a black woman?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Right.

[Tam Bam]

But they get to do it. And they get to places that black people can't get to just being themselves.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Sometimes I'll be feeling like. And y'all might get mad at me for saying this, but remember, I love y'all. Don't beat me up too bad.

[Tam Bam]

And remember, I don't give a fuck. Go ahead, Tammy.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I. Sometimes I feel like white gay men cosplay black women all the time the.

[Tam Bam]

Same way the black men do. You know?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

You know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like they've been here.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

But, I mean, a black man that identifies as a woman.

[Tam Bam]

We all borrow from black women. Like, nobody's trying to act like the white girl, even the Asian gay guys.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It's like, we are the black black female.

[Tam Bam]

Yes. Right. Listen. We are the gods on earth. And I'm going to keep saying that like, we are the prototype. That's why we. We have to take responsibility. A lot of times in our community, we got to be the ones to fix things. That's why we get blamed when things go wrong. Who people blame. Why would God let the. Yes, we are the gods on earth, so we got to fix all the things. It's just. It is what it is. Y'all. Y'all want the responsibility or not? Because black women really never had a choice but to be her.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Well, we need to figure we gotta start with fixing ourselves and that. Start with taking them little skirts with y'all ass hands.

[Tam Bam]

Why? I mean, I. I guess maybe we put so much emphasis on that in American culture, but, I mean, someplace else, it might be okay for your ass to be hanging out. Like, I mean, we. We wore things like that at some point, right? We didn't always. We weren't always covered up. We worship to just cover the coochie. People still do that in other cultures. In Africa, like, maybe we putting too much emphasis on it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, I'm tired of seeing it.

[Tam Bam]

It's just the culture.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I just said it three episodes in a row.

[Tam Bam]

What else we got going on? Okay, so did, you know. Wait, no.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

We gotta talk about Serena out there. Walk she ever did. Because we don't. We've been watching her Crip walk for many years, and it's never been this good. It always looked, you know, so much.

[Tam Bam]

So I didn't realize it was her initially.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

She hit that last night. That has to. Hey, that step was backed by some. Get back.

[Tam Bam]

Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Listen, Sza and Serena used to. With Drake, like, there was so many he had on the necklace with the little A Minor on it, like. And it was so icy. It was so icy. I was like, oh, my. Drake. I feel so bad.

[Tam Bam]

And the way Kendrick looked. Kendrick is such a joke.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

The way he looks into that camera. Yes.

[Tam Bam]

Like, I'm talking to you. Yeah, you, Drake. Aubrey, I'm talking to you. Smiling like.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah. And I know he kind of like, damn, how long we gonna keep talking about this?

[Tam Bam]

He wanted to be over.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah. He ready to. You won. Damn.

[Tam Bam]

Move on.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I know he glad the super bowl is gone. I feel like he feel like that is the culmination of everything and now he can. Drake needs to get back to making songs like God's. What is it called?

[Tam Bam]

What?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

God's love? No, God's.

[Tam Bam]

God did.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

The one he. The one he was talking about, you know, he. In the video, he was giving out back and gave all those people free stuff. Families and all that stuff.

[Tam Bam]

I didn't see that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You know that song. I can't think of it right now. Songs like Marvin's Room, songs like that make for women.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah. Because when Kendrick said that, I don't like Tough Drake. Like, this mix song that make us wave our hands and dance. Like, yeah, stick to that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

That's what we wanted, my guy. Yeah. And that's where we got lost. That's where we got lost. Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

Because he. He gained too much power. Like, I. I've heard that artists can't even come out of Toronto unless they go through Drake. And you kind of see that what people. The Weeknd got from up under him. Tory Lanez had to circumvent that nigga and blew up without him, you know what I'm saying? But they beefed for a while. Whatever happened to the dude is going up on a Tuesday. Where he at?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You know, it's Thursday.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah. So Drake is on some mob shit. Because I'm reading this book right now. It's basically about power. And it's not like the power that people. It's called the art of power. It's not like the. The power that money and things bring, right? It's like compassion, you know what I'm saying? Like, the real power. Real power comes from love. And I feel like a lot of times, once you gain so much notoriety, so much money, like, that shit kind of go out the window. And people. You really get to see who people are when they have the money to be that villain. You know what I'm saying? So, like I said, there's some things we may not see in the industry that Drake has done, we may not know about. I think we get little. Little hints, you know, look how he's using the judicial system right now, trying to sue Kendrick. He didn't sue Kendrick directly, but indirectly. You go around and you suing them people, them folks.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

That's his white side. That's what I. Yeah, that's how. Because, you know, that's how they.

[Tam Bam]

That's what I'm saying. That is the only side he knows, though, because that's who raised him.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

But we should take a page out of that book and start fist fighting and start taking them to court.

[Tam Bam]

Oh, I'm on it. Yeah. Yeah. That's my type of time. But you know what? I think I'm a whole attorney without a degree anyway, so there's that part.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Girl. Did you see leangelo Ball? Did y'all see Le Angela Ball over the weekend with his new girlfriend, parading her around New Orleans after Nikki just dropped the baby? Like, the baby 2 months old, and.

[Tam Bam]

They already have another child together, right?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

And, you know, this woman was thinking that they were going to get married, and now he's decided that he's done with that family and he's starting. He's going off to make a new life, and he don't give a fuck. He parading a new girl around all over New Orleans, and she's just happy because it's her turn, and that shit hurt my feelings to see.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, you see? So he has a black girl now, and the black girl then calls Nikki baby racist because she uses the N word, apparently, and she's not black.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Mm.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, I saw the tweets. I saw the commentary over the weekend. I just. It's just hurtful. And, you know, it's just. Your turn, girl. Your turn. Gonna come. Come up. You got to be careful how you treat people. That lady is in a very, very vulnerable state right now. I saw a clip, and I had been meaning to go watch the full episode. Nikki Baby and LiAngelo Ball, they were on Jason Lee's podcast or show Hollywood Unlocked. Yeah, they were on Hollywood Unlock, and, you know, they were talking about, you know, legacy and building and family and all that stuff, and it sounds like she's ready to get married. This. This girl, she has. This is her child now, right? I believe she has one older child from somebody else.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Oh, I don't know.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, I know they got two, because I don't remember. I didn't even realize they were together, because I Thought she was with somebody else when she was on. On the show before, but.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

How old is that man? He's a young man. And she's 34.

[Tam Bam]

Is she only 34?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Well, that's her stage age. I don't know. Yeah, she.

[Tam Bam]

I could have sworn she been around for a while. I feel like she's closer to 40.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

And he's like, you know, she on Hollywood Unlocked. He was saying shit like, you know, she know what time it is. Like, we talk about it. And he was like, I want to get married at some point. And she's like, in the next two years or so. We talked about it and he's. He never once said to her, I just.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Something about trying to get a young man to marry you is just. He's so young and he's very successful. He making music and. Yeah. And immature, you know, So I really.

[Tam Bam]

Can attribute, you know, how he's treating her to his new claim to fame with the rap song, you know, Stupid.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I like that song, man. You said he gonna hit the corner.

[Tam Bam]

It's old, it's dated. It's a new dated song.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It sounds old, but it don't hit. It don't sound like it hits.

[Tam Bam]

But it's still not a great song, right. For him to just. Now all of a sudden, you just rap star and you treating this girl who probably put some money behind. Cause she had all the things.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

How many all right. In this era, how many rap stars got songs that are huge, that aren't great? Think about it. A lot of these stars aren't really lyrically.

[Tam Bam]

A lot of them don't even know the songs.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Right.

[Tam Bam]

I can't listen to that shit. Yeah.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So that don't. In our. In our. In this society, you don't really have to have talent in music to make good what is deemed good music.

[Tam Bam]

I agree.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Because that song.

[Tam Bam]

Oh, baby girl, I love you.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You're my everything. That song is not good. But I loved it, you know, it just sounded terrible.

[Tam Bam]

Now my favorite shit is get it sexy now that's affirmations, girl. You know that ass super fat.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I lying.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah. I lying, though. I'm his favorite hoe.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

That'll hit. I don't know if that's an affirmation. I don't know when we started calling ourselves hoes so freely like that.

[Tam Bam]

I know. I mean, we would say it on the phone with our homegirls, but not like to the world right now.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

We just like very proud horse. And I just didn't see that coming.

[Tam Bam]

For like Young Miami. I'm a. I respect hoes, though. You know, I respect hoes. I love the hoes. I respect whores and hoes. I respect the women who charging. I just charging.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Ever since that slut walk, we've been going downhill. That's all I'm saying.

[Tam Bam]

All right, y'all. So listen, I saw this post on social media. Ah, y'all just. Just bear with me a second. So. And this probably could have been a dumb story, but we'll keep it in stupid Internet news. But so I saw this post where this girl, she was trying to ask, you know, the Internets if she was wrong or not. So she tweeted. She said, so my mom is living with my fiance and I for the time being. And last night she went through his phone to prove to me that all men cheat and found messages between him and a woman sending selfies. And she put like the crying emoji. Should I be mad at my mama for getting in my business or my fiance? What you think, Tammy?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Why is it a or situation? Both? Because why are you ruining my fantasy? Like, if I'm living in La La land, let me be here. Like, I feel like let find me. I don't go like, at my age, I don't go looking for shit. If it's meant for me to find out, it's going to come find me. And then also mad at your fiance because why are you sharing selfies with this woman? You know?

[Tam Bam]

Yeah. Why did my mom have anything to even find?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, that part.

[Tam Bam]

So I am personally more mad at the mom. Okay, I have questions. I want to know why the fuck your mom living in a house with you and your fiance and where's her man? Right? And why is she intentionally sabotaging? I feel like this. If I never had any inkling that my man is doing anything right. I feel like that's love. That's actually real love. When you don't find shit out ever, you never feel anything, right? To the point, like we getting married. Like, I'm happy. I'm. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in bliss right now. And hey, you're raggy ass, lonely ass mom your house and distort disturbs the peace. People want to see her happy.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, yeah, we know that all. You ruining my fantasy.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, I guess she was like trying to prove to her that her Manning that ain't him. That is not your job to do it. You know what I'm saying? I could see if maybe you call him doing if you saw him doing some shit, and that was your way of exposing him. That still wasn't right. You should just come out and say, hey, I saw him doing such and such and such. You know, you don't create a conversation is crazy.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Like, yes, how did.

[Tam Bam]

How did you get his phone?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Right?

[Tam Bam]

She might be fucking him, right?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You need to go, mama. You need to go. I love you, mama. I'm gonna help you find somewhere to go with my sister because she better.

[Tam Bam]

Go over there and ruin the sister marriage. Where is your man? This is why I don't like mamas. This is work, but I don't like mamas.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You gotta love the mamas. Mamas is us.

[Tam Bam]

I only like mamas who are in healthy relationships with their husbands. Those are the moms I like. Those are the sisters I like. Don't come over here with that broken and ruining my relationship. You want me to be just you and me in the house. That's what you want, right? You know what I'm saying? She probably was. You imagine. Imagine your mom being that person looking at you from the corner of your eye, looking at. From the corner of their eyes, like, looking at you and your man, like, how can I this up? And it may not be even, like, intentional like, in her brain, but some people are just that nasty, right? Like, this is just their normal setting. This is just the type of they do. I don't like it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, I'm looking at everybody sideways because, mom, why are you. You don't enjoy seeing me this happy? You need me to be crushed for whatever reason. Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

I could never do that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

And her mom is probably. I just want you to give you some perspective on reality.

[Tam Bam]

No, I may not have even meant.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

To do it to be hurtful or harmful. She just was trying to see the bitter truth that does exist sometimes. But that ain't your place.

[Tam Bam]

Right. And were they smashing or just fraternizing? You know, because I. I don't feel like if I see this nigga fraternizing, I'm. I'm not gonna say fraternizing is. Is just not okay in my relationship. I'm gonna. I'm not gonna go that far and say, like, he can't talk to nobody and he can't. No, I'm not doing that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I don't listen. I'm never going through your phone.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I don't have the time or the energy or the bandwidth for whatever is in there. That's your business. And I want the same respect.

[Tam Bam]

Yes.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Don't go through my shit. Go through your shit. You Know that's it.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah. So what I'm supposed.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I will never, ever. It's up to me knowing about something in your phone. I will never know. Right?

[Tam Bam]

I enable niggas to be on some. Because I'm not doing it. First of all, I'm not ruining my Monday. I'm not ruining my weekend. I'm not fucking my day up by going through your phone. When I go through a nigga phone, my shit is packed. I'm leaving you. I'm actually looking for a good reason to get the phone out of there. I have.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I have.

[Tam Bam]

I will say I do.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I don't. I ain't doing it. Then once I'm ready to go, I don't need a reason. I'm just out, you know, like, once I'm in that space, I don't need to give you no valid. Like, oh, I found this in your phone.

[Tam Bam]

No extra little push. That's what I.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Whatever. It was already was enough. As far as I'm concerned. I'm already packed my.

[Tam Bam]

So I want to actually.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I'm never going through a phone. And I only. And I only can say that because of experience. I have ruined my own day. I have ruined my own week by being nosy. Mind your business. Mind the business that pays you. And your business is your peace and your happiness. Don't go looking for shit.

[Tam Bam]

And if the business is paying bills, definitely mind your fucking business, girl. Side, beside, bitch, get this through the moments, okay? You need him to be satisfied to write them checks, okay. You know, especially if it's a. He's a responsible man and he got on auto draft. You about to auto draft up? No, not me. Okay, y'all, so this week. It's been a long time, babe. Y'all so lit. I'm so happy and so fun.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I can't believe we are doing this. I cannot believe we're doing it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I'm the young one.

[Kevin Smith]

And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard. Sounds innocent, doesn't lot of cussing, a lot of bad language. It's for adults only. Or listen to it with your kid. Could be a family show. We're not quite sure. We're still figuring it out.

[Tam Bam]

It's a work in progress.

[Kevin Smith]

Listen to Beardless me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Tam Bam]

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You want to jump into the dating Contestant number one. This is my life, y'all. This is not a. I mean, it's a joke, but it's not a joke. You know what I'm saying? Like, Jordan.

[I]

Yeah, I'm definitely taking this serious.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, I'm glad to hear that. Tell me and my co host a little bit about you.

[I]

As y'all know, my name is Jordan. I'm a Midwest kid born and raised, and, yeah, I'm looking to see your smile in person.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, Jordan, tell us what you do.

[I]

Oh, so I actually have a couple companies that I started with my Brother. So we have a restaurant, we have a trucking company, and we also have another restaurant that's in the works right now.

[Tam Bam]

Okay, so we have, as an entrepreneur on for the Love of Tam Bam. Sounds good.

[I]

And I have a day job as well.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay.

[Tam Bam]

You Jamaican, right?

[I]

Nah, man, I'm just. I'm inspired to lead this world a little better than. I got it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay. Jordan, how old are you?

[I]

37.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, that's a good age.

[Tam Bam]

Y'all know Tammy Obgyn old getting young. Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Stop crazy.

[I]

I love it, though. I love it.

[Tam Bam]

All right, Jordan. My first question is, Jordan, do you have any children? I do. Okay. You got kids?

[I]

I have a daughter. She's 10.

[Tam Bam]

Are you. Oh, that's. I mean, that's a big age. You know what I'm saying? A lot of people don't want to start all over. Are you interested in having any more children?

[I]

I mean, I'm definitely open to the conversation. I don't want to feel like I'm forcing on anyone, but for me, I love my daughter, and I think more kids would be a blessing.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay. All right, let's see. I wrote down some questions. What is something that you've learned from a past relationship?

[I]

A big thing I learned is a lot of relationships are defined by how you. How your life is in that moment. So it's the lens that you walk into. It is the only lens you'll be able to see through unless you dedicate yourself to some type of growth. But also, you can't fix someone. They have to want to fix themselves or be better, because not everyone is broken just because you're not compatible in that moment. So not necessarily fixed, but they got to want more than what they walk into the relationship with, because everyone should be evolving.

[Tam Bam]

Absolutely. So what. What are some of your non negotiables in a relationship? Like, let's maybe name, like, the top three non negotiables. Because I think when you're in a relationship, you kind of. You got to get into relationships and know what you don't want in the next one, so.

[I]

Exactly. I think I don't really have non negotiables, but there are some. Like, I'll meet some people, and I'll be at, like, a fork in the road, and I have to choose for me this, I can handle this, or I can't. But just don't be a trash ass person.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Don't be a trash ass person and define what a transgender person is.

[I]

Because I think in. In this day and age, we understand, like, especially where the country is at, like, just be a decent human. I think as long as you can meet me in spaces with grace, I think we're good. But someone that just comes in, expects you to fit perfectly as the piece into their missing. The missing piece into their puzzle. That doesn't really allow you space to be yourself. Your rights, your wrongs, your ups, your downs, while taking all that you're giving and only returning what they feel like they feel like giving. I think that that sucks in a relational aspect.

[Tam Bam]

So that's a trash. That. That constitutes as a trash ass person.

[I]

Well, trash as people. There's. They are. They have no glass ceiling, so it could be all the way up. But I'm just saying, like, I just want someone to meet me, like, at a human level and just really just be a decent human. Be the person that your parents raised.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, that's fair.

[Tam Bam]

Some parents, Humans.

[I]

Right, Exactly.

[Tam Bam]

So how important is that, like, to you? How important is, like, someone's family background? How important is that to you now in a relationship at 37? Because, you know, in the 20s, you may not even be thinking about that type of shit, right? But now it's like, who in the nut house in your family?

[I]

It's. It's real. It's real and it's. It's very hard. Y'all should do a little segment about how you segue into that conversation on first, second, third dates, because it's something that a lot of people don't really had a conversation about. And I. I've actually learned the hard way that DNA is. Is strong. Like, as much as you don't believe she gonna be like her mama or auntie or whatever, like, take notes. Take notes. For real.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Or like their father.

[I]

I mean, I ain't really dated no girls like their daddies, but no, I.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Mean, as far as me as a. As a woman, like, you have to look at the man and see how much is he like his own father, you know?

[I]

True. And I've always been taught that women look at men based on character and see how they handle their mothers. And they can kind of tell how they may handle them, but definitely the fathers. But it just depends too, because, I mean, I do believe that the apple doesn't far fall from the tree, but hopefully that tree was in his life growing up too. So you can have an understanding. Because I feel like as black people, a lot of times, like, we're disconnected from that family tree somehow, and we don't actually have those answers, so we kind of move through life searching for who we are and photos and just random things that we shouldn't have to.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, this is true.

[Tam Bam]

Absolutely.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What's one thing that most people would be surprised to know about you?

[I]

Country music.

[Tam Bam]

You like country music?

[A.J. Holiday]

Hell, yeah.

[I]

I fuck with country music. But it's. It's like that cool.

[Willie]

It's.

[I]

It's that cool ass country music. And the way that it happened. I was in college on scholarship, and I stayed kind of close to home, like an hour and a half away, and I had this little Geo prism. And in the winter, like, I was too impatient. I just wanted to get on the road and get back to my people. So I wouldn't let the car warm up. So I had the little. You know, you had the CD players with the little. You take the face off and everything.

[A.J. Holiday]

So.

[I]

So for the first, like, 45 minutes of the ride, you could only get whatever station that you could get the signal for, and it was sports country. So I started listening to country music. Like, damn, these people, they'd have been through some, too. Like, I kind of rock with it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay.

[Tam Bam]

I used to like country music, too.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So, yeah, some good old country music.

[I]

And y'all see what that Grammy just did?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, right. Hey, shout out to B. All right.

[I]

Yeah, you like?

[Tam Bam]

So you like shabuzzi? Shabuzi, Shaboozi? I'm a grandmama with names and movies and all type of shaboozy. Is that what it is? Or shaboots, Boozy.

[I]

I ain't even hip.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You don't know who that is?

[I]

Nah, see, I. I rock with Sam Hunt.

[Tam Bam]

Oh, he talking about real country. Not even like they real country.

[I]

Rascal Flats.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Rascal Flats. Okay. You like the Dixie Chicks?

[I]

I ain't really hit, but I heard a couple songs, but I can't say that I got them on my title.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Dixie Chicks. That's my karaoke. I do Goodbye Earl. Listen to that song. So you know not to play.

[Tam Bam]

Goodbye yo.

[I]

You, yo. Okay, say less. I got you.

[Tam Bam]

So what's your idea of a perfect date? If you were to win this contest and be able to take Big Tam Bam out on a night around town.

[I]

I honestly feel like a perfect date is a mixture of intention and spontaneity. So, you know, I want to see you, but the goal is to get to know you better. So wherever we end up, hopefully it's somewhere that you comfortable, you can try some new things. Because I always feel like first date date should involve first, whether that's first time trying a new dish, a new location, a new area of Town, first kiss, you know what I mean? Like, I feel like it should be something that flows. But I also think too, with first dates, for me personally, I always feel like I want to be in the presence of somebody that is playful. And I'm big on trying to get to the. I feel like people, when you're in good company, you want to pay for it. But I'm the kind of person that likes adding like a little bit of pizzazz to shit. So I might find a waiter. Yeah, like, I find a waiter and be like, yo, let me pay for this in advance. And then I come back to the table and try to get you to dine and ditch with me just to see how you kind of respond to it.

[Tam Bam]

I'mma do it, but I'm talking shit about you to my homegirl. And I'mma pay on a low leaving out.

[I]

But then if you try to pay on a load, they gonna like, oh, he already took care of it. And you're like, damn, I see what it was.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

This know I broke my foot. I hope you know that I can't run.

[I]

Oh, damn. We're gonna have. I just need need you to slide to the bathroom about 10 minutes early since you got the low key to little. Yeah, I mean.

[Tam Bam]

That was good though. That sound like a good, very good first date. I like the response.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, me too.

[I]

I appreciate you. I mean, if you want to see what it's really like, Tam, bam, you know what you got to do.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, well, we gonna see. We got a couple more contestants, but so far so good. Jordan.

[I]

I appreciate it and I wish them the worst of luck.

[Tam Bam]

God damn.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

How tall are you?

[I]

Tall enough.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, so what that mean? I'm. I'm five four.

[I]

Oh, well, you're gonna be looking up to me. Five two. I'm six one.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You are. You're six one. Okay, that's perfect height. What do you want to accomplish in the next five years.

[I]

Man? Travel more? Honestly, I think I want to touch feet to earth on the continent.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

On what continent?

[I]

The continent.

[Tam Bam]

Africa.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Africa?

[I]

Yeah, the motherland.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

And that's your. That's the only thing you want to accomplish in the next five years or that's just one of your biggest goals?

[I]

That's the top thing. That's the top thing I want to accomplish. I feel like as far as goes with me, I live very comfortably right now. So I don't have a lot of monetary goals or career goals. I think everything that I've kind of set in place and the way that I move in life I think I've kind of set myself up in a position to kind of reap those benefits, almost kind of like residually. So now it's more about being intentional and not looking back at my life and saying, what would I have done? Or what should I have done, but what should I do next? And then definitely creating more opportunities for my daughter to just see the world different than I had the opportunity to.

[Tam Bam]

And you. Oh, look, that nigga slick. That boy good.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

That boy really good.

[Tam Bam]

In therapy, you know, they be like, you know, before you respond, you know, repeat what the person said so. Or ask questions. So what I'm hearing you say, though, until you slid that last little piece in, that you want to travel, you want to do all these things. I know my friend wants to be married at some point. Right. I also know my friend wants to have a child. That's what I was looking for, like, hearing, you know, like, that you're even interested in possibly being a husband.

[I]

Absolutely. I feel like my goal in life is to be a great husband and an even better father, so. But when you ask me that question, I can't really respond to that because I don't have that lady next to me right now. So I can only speak on life through this lens right now. But I would love to have that kind of be a part of that. Like, I mean, obviously you might not be traveling to the motherland unless you want to start the first five years there, which could happen. I mean, I'm really expat ready right now.

[Tam Bam]

Are you ready to get out the country?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done?

[I]

My life is spontaneity. I jumped on a flight and moved to LA on 12 hours notice. $250 in three bags, 15 years ago. So, yeah, I think, I think spontaneity is just like you believing that your version of life in that moment matters and it's worth it. And I see then how you speak to people, how you walk up and introduce yourself, just how you show up. I think everything is. Life is about how you react to life.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, you've been answering these perfect.

[Tam Bam]

I know. I. I mean, it's, it's.

[I]

I appreciate that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I feel like.

[Tam Bam]

I feel like these people want to show up. Like how we would want a man to show up. Yeah, you just got it. You gotta really experience them though, right?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I gotta know. One more question for you, Jordan.

[I]

What's up?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What would you say is your greatest flaw?

[I]

My greatest flaw? Not enough time. Sometimes I think I would say I think that the path I've set myself on sometimes I don't always prioritize myself. And I think, as black man, we kind of live a life that kind of forces you to endure. And I think sometimes that gets in the way of our blessings, in the way of our health, in the way of our peace. But I try not to be a bad person, so I don't really look for my flaws. I'm definitely not perfect. I might tell you I'm gonna call you back or not, but I'm one text message. A way to remind me, like, hey, you forgot, and I'll jump on the phone. But I don't really have anything that I'm like, yo, I want to change this about me, or this. This is my, like, Fatal Flaw type vibe.

[Tam Bam]

Interesting. So my last question is, if your ex had to describe you in one sentence, what would they say?

[I]

Depending on which ex. But they all love me still, so I think it would be good. Like, I feel like a lot of my exes, I met at a great time in their lives, but I just wasn't ready for my. Within my time. But I don't even. I hate that I don't remember this movie, but y'all ever. Did y'all ever watch that movie where every girl got married after they dated this dude? That was pretty much the premise of the movie. I forget what it was.

[Tam Bam]

It was like, that wasn't a Tinder swindler, was it? A Tinder swindler? All them was marrying his ass, too and getting scammed up.

[I]

No, they got married after dated him.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

They would marry somebody else. They would find their husband.

[I]

Yeah, it was crazy.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I feel like I saw that movie.

[I]

So that's how my life has been with my exes. Like, all my exes are happily married. Like, I celebrate them. I tell them happy anniversary, and I'm so, so proud of y'all. Like, so actually, my. My exes, if they listening, would definitely call in and co sign me. Like, yo, Jordan is who he is.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So you don't have nothing bad about you. You're perfect.

[I]

If this sound perfect, I mean, I definitely know I ain't perfect, but I definitely believe that. Great husband material.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So there's nobody that would be like, Jordan is a nobody nowhere.

[Tam Bam]

Jordan is a narc.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

He needs to leave.

[I]

Nobody.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You're not the villain in nobody's story.

[I]

No, actually, I'm not. And I have set up some nights to, like, ask myself, like, damn, are there any people that would, like, not co sign you? And I kind of Rack my brain trying to find that person, and they don't exist because I actually treat people like I would want to be treated everybody by somebody's daughter.

[Tam Bam]

So I actually. I actually. Actually called some exes one time because I'm. Y'all remember how clubhouse used to be real lit and they were playing one of the rooms I was in. It was playing a video from, like, YouTube, basically saying all women crazy type, right? So the dude was challenging all the women in the room, like, okay, we need. We need to talk to y'all last couple exes. Like, none of my exes, even the craziest, had anything really crazy to say about me. So it's possible. Jordan, is what I'm getting to. It's possible.

[I]

You know, I appreciate you meeting me in the middle road on that.

[Tam Bam]

What's your sign, though, before you get out of here?

[I]

Sagittarius.

[Tam Bam]

Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Sagittarius. Okay.

[Tam Bam]

I like Sagittarius. Sagittarius be tricking a little bit. Like, the men, they gonna. They're gonna spend some money on you, Tam. I'm gonna tell you that right now. They're generous. I'll say that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Any last thing you would like to say to leave a lasting impression, whoever.

[I]

Wins your love, that's. That's the real champion. It's an honor to be able to be in consideration. I feel like I shot my best shot. And happy early Valentine's Day.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Thank you, Jordan.

[Tam Bam]

I like Jordan. For sure.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Jordan, this was great. Thank you so much for joining us. And we'll definitely be in contact because we're going to let our listeners decide who gets a date with me. But thank you.

[I]

Oh, wow. For sure. For sure. Yeah.

[Willie]

And if.

[I]

And if you. Yeah, for sure. I'll just keep an eye out for that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay. All right.

[I]

Okay. You too.

[Tam Bam]

All right, y'all. So that was our first contestant, Jordan. We'll be back after this commercial with our second contestant. Y'all stay tuned.

[Kevin Smith]

Hey, kids, it's me, Kevin Smith.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

And it's me, Harley Quinn Smith.

[Kevin Smith]

That's my daughter, man, who my wife has always said is just a beardless d? Ckless version of me. And that's the name of our podcast. Beardless d? Ckless me. I'm the old one.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I'm the young one.

[Kevin Smith]

And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard. Sounds innocent, doesn't it? A lot of cussing. A Lot of bad language. It's for adults only. Or listen to it with your kid. Could be a family show. We're not quite sure. We're still figuring it out.

[Tam Bam]

It's a work in progress.

[Kevin Smith]

Listen to Beardless me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Tam Bam]

All right, y'all, so we are back. This is We Talk Back. For the love of Tam Bam. This week for Valentine, we are trying to find her a date. Okay, so we do have contestant number two. His name is Nico. Introduce yourself, Nico, to our listeners.

[A.J. Holiday]

Thank you for having me. My name is Nico from the bx New York. Bx. All right, I don't think you guys need any other contestants. I mean, get rid of number one. If I'm number two, let's cancel number three. I mean, there's nobody better, so we'll go ahead.

[Tam Bam]

I like that energy, Nico.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Nico, what's bx? I don't know what that is.

[A.J. Holiday]

That is the Bronx. I mean, bx. I mean, it's so synonymous with New York, but it is from the Bronx, the dirtiest borough in New York City.

[Tam Bam]

All right, well, at least you ain't from Brooklyn. I heard they be stealing a lot.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Oh, don't do that. That's where I'm at right now.

[A.J. Holiday]

Brooklyn is bougie compared to the Bronx. We're still hood in the Bronx.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Well, listen, I'm in Brooklyn, so you.

[A.J. Holiday]

Like hood niggas because I'm a little hood.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Oh, yeah. You know what? I'm not opposed to a little hood, so.

[Willie]

Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

That's okay. All right. What do you do for a living, Nico?

[A.J. Holiday]

Well, I drive forklifts. Right. But I'm not just an average forklift driver, right? So when trucks pull up to big construction sites, I'm the guy that pulls all the wood, all of those heavy materials that come off the truck for big skyscrapers. So I'm a big time forklift driver. Okay. All right. This is not no little warehouse taking pallets off the, you know, the little shelves over there. I'm talking decent money. I mean, it depends on what you think decent money is.

[Tam Bam]

So you helped rebuild the Trade Center?

[A.J. Holiday]

Not the Trade center, but other buildings in New York City. Absolutely. A few big ones.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So you can work with your hands.

[A.J. Holiday]

Oh, man, I can work with my hands, my mouth, you know, my feet, all of that.

[Tam Bam]

I hear that. What that mouth do. Yeah, that wasn't one of my questions, but yeah. Might as well take a dip.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah, listen, I try to within. How long is this interview?

[Tam Bam]

Here, as long as you got.

[A.J. Holiday]

Well, I got a lot of lengthy time. All right.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Oh, my.

[A.J. Holiday]

So I'm trying to give you the true version of who I am within these few minutes. So ask me anything.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What's your idea of the perfect first date?

[A.J. Holiday]

Ooh, perfect fake date. See, my perfect first date isn't traditional. You know, in most cases, a guy wants to take you out to dinner, a movie, and all that sort of jazz, so. Because I also. Did I tell you guys, I'm a chef as well, in the evening. So I drive forklifts at night, and I work at a restaurant in the evening. I don't. It's a pretty known restaurant in New York City. So I don't want to put it out because I don't want people to know where I work. But I'm also a chef at the restaurant. So I'm saying all that to say that my perfect evening is you coming over to my place and me cooking dinner for you. And I know. I know you're going to say, hey, you know, I don't know, you. You could be, you know, a serial killer. I'm tired of hearing that. You know what I mean? Like, listen, let's. Let's jump. Let's get out of the box, all right, and do something a little different. Take some risks in dating.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What would you cook for me?

[A.J. Holiday]

So my go to dish would be sea bass.

[Tam Bam]

I love sea bass.

[A.J. Holiday]

Chilean sea bass. Wild caught, you know. No, farm race.

[Tam Bam]

From Costco, right?

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah. Oh. So you know, you know the vibes. But it's about. It's about how you cook it, the seasoning, all of that.

[Tam Bam]

Okay, girl, you got you a chef, girl, he be lifting.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I mean, come on strong, chef. I can't.

[A.J. Holiday]

So I'm trying to tell you.

[Tam Bam]

So 2 10.

[A.J. Holiday]

2. So, you know, 210.

[Tam Bam]

What's your nationality? Because you sound like a mob boss. A little bit.

[A.J. Holiday]

I'm half black and half Italian. It's funny you say that.

[Tam Bam]

Okay, okay.

[A.J. Holiday]

My family has ties to the Genovese family, but we don't want to get into that.

[Tam Bam]

So I guess this.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

No, hold on. No, let me ask you this before you ask that. Is your mother black or your father.

[Tam Bam]

That's important now. That's important.

[A.J. Holiday]

My father's black. My mother's Italian.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So you kind of Drake.

[Tam Bam]

Ish.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

White. Nico.

[A.J. Holiday]

No, my father's black. You're usually more of what your father is if you're a young man.

[Tam Bam]

No. Okay. Are your parents still together?

[A.J. Holiday]

No, absolutely not. You know, I don't think my mom and my dad were ever together.

[Tam Bam]

Okay, so your mom is a side. Excuse me. I'm sorry. Your mom raised you.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

She didn't mean.

[Tam Bam]

No, we are trying to understand the family dynamic.

[A.J. Holiday]

My mom was kind of a bitch sometimes, all right? So I'm not offended. But she made do with what she had, and I think she thought she was in a relationship with my dad, you know, but she so happened to be the side bitch without knowing.

[Tam Bam]

As long as she's not a habitual side bitch. I mean.

[Willie]

No, no.

[A.J. Holiday]

That was her first and last side bitch, you know, extra.

[Tam Bam]

Okay. You know, we talk about gender roles a whole lot in the black community. I don't know what Italians do, but do you believe in traditional gender roles in relationships, or do you prefer a more modern approach, like 50?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

50?

[A.J. Holiday]

Well, I grew up in a. I grew up in a black household, even though, you know, my dad wasn't always there. Right. So. But my mom grew up. I mean, my mom, she. We grew up in the hood in the Bronx, so there wasn't. I didn't grow up around Italians, so to speak. So gender roles are important. But I do think that we have to grow as a society, and if women want to be considered equal and want to, you know. You know, want equal pay and all that sort of jazz, which they, you know, a lot of them have earned that right and deserve it, then. Then you sh. If you can bring this to the table, then we have to change, you know, the tradition, and women have to cough up some of that bread, too.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So. So, no, you don't believe.

[A.J. Holiday]

No, no. In some instances, but, for example, I don't. I do think that a woman should be the one to cook and clean more.

[Tam Bam]

So.

[A.J. Holiday]

But if. If the man is going to ask for a woman to bring some money to the table, then he has to chime in and help out with those things as well. Like, you know, it can't be just one side, so. I feel you.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, that's fair. What's the.

[A.J. Holiday]

I'm already a chef. I'm doing all the damn cooking anyway.

[Tam Bam]

That's a plus. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What's something you've learned from past. From the show? You've heard, I've heard.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yes, of course I watch it. How can I not watch the show all the time? I'm madly in love with you. So come on.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay. What's something you learned from past relationships?

[A.J. Holiday]

Oh, I mean, that's a broad question. I mean, can you be more specific? I mean, I've learned so many Things from relationships.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

This is your greatest takeaway.

[A.J. Holiday]

My greatest takeaway from a past relationship is. Yeah. My greatest lesson would be to give. Pour a little bit more into yourself, you know, a little bit more than I've done in the past in being in relationships, you know, Whereas, though I've always been poured into the person giving a lot.

[Tam Bam]

I understand that. Yep. I think we can.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah. Now, you ain't getting 100% of me. Right, right. Maybe like 70, 80.

[Tam Bam]

You're not trying to punish my friend, are you? For everyone else's shortcomings.

[A.J. Holiday]

I mean, listen, it's going to be a better version of me this way.

[Tam Bam]

Because you've learned from those things.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because she's going to want the best version of me. The best version of me is somebody that, you know, if I care about myself a little bit.

[Tam Bam]

So what's like, a. What's a toxic trait from one of those exes that you secretly love? Like, what is the toxic trait? Love in a. In a. In a partner?

[Willie]

Oh, man.

[A.J. Holiday]

Oh, that's a good question. Because be honest, toxicity is. Is subjective. You know what I'm saying? What People.

[Tam Bam]

That's what I'm saying. So, like, say, for instance, you know, some people, like, oh, my man ain't crazy about me. Like that. I don't want him.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah, like.

[Tam Bam]

And I'm like, nah, bitch, that's retarded. I don't want that.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah, no, honestly, I like for my lady to be a little possessive at times. Like a little extra jealous, like, ready to fight a bitch, but not really, you know what I'm saying? Just, like, get all hype and act like. Act like you fucking care. You know what I'm saying? You need to show me that you're a little jealous. If you ain't about that action, then I don't know.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So you, like, you want me to slap you a little bit?

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah. A little physical. Where the fuck you going? Like, loose. Don't go crazy, you know, but little abuse, a little mini abuse.

[Tam Bam]

Okay.

[A.J. Holiday]

I like that. I could take it. I'm strong.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

[A.J. Holiday]

Well, right now I have six children. Right? So my goal's always been to.

[Tam Bam]

Have we missed that question in the beginning?

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah. So Listen, listen. I'm 47 years old, even though people say I look like I look 30. So, you know, I've had quite a. Quite a few years, you know, with the opportunity to make some kids. So I did that. I took full advantage of that. And. But just so you know it's only two baby mamas, all right? Because I know you were thinking, oh, my God, this guy has five baby mamas. It was two baby mamas. And I take care of all of my kids, but I really want 10 kids, honestly.

[Tam Bam]

Are you on child support?

[A.J. Holiday]

No, no, no. Me and my two baby mothers, we get along phenomenally. And I take care of the kids without the government being involved, because I know how to pick my baby mamas. You know what I'm saying?

[Tam Bam]

So, wait, so you're a breeder is what I'm hearing.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah. Something in that short. And I want to keep breeding, so. So five years from now, I want to have four more children.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Oh, my God.

[A.J. Holiday]

And I'm going to cut it off at 10. Listen, I got to spread my seed and leave a lineage on this earth here, you know what I mean? And hopefully Tammy will be the one to give me the four kids that I want.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay? Nico Cannon.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah. You know?

[Willie]

Yeah.

[A.J. Holiday]

He's inspired me. He's inspired me.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Do you want a wife?

[Tam Bam]

Oh.

[A.J. Holiday]

So, I mean, why do we have to follow the tradition of wife and husband, right? Like, I'm not Christian, so I don't, you know, I'm not going to be at a church, you know, with a priest trying to marry me. So I figured, I don't think we need marriage. Marriage, marriage. To me, it doesn't hold any weight. I think I can be loyal and very giving to a woman without being married.

[Tam Bam]

So what if Tammy can't give you these four kids, right? You know, because we are women of a certain age. I'm not saying that she may not be able to give you two, but a whole four.

[A.J. Holiday]

Well, listen, are you planning on.

[Tam Bam]

Or would you then have these other kids by somebody else else possibly while in a relationship with her?

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. See, you think the way I think. I love how you think, you know? So, I mean, I think we're really progressive. We're living in a progressive world, and if you love a person and you know something that you deeply or she deeply, watch, right? Allow it to be just a surrogate mom, somebody that's willing to get pregnant, and we'll raise the kids ourselves. Now, another thing, you know, they have a lot of drugs out here that'll make. Make women have twins. Will help women have twins, Right? So maybe Tam could just do two pregnancies, twins and twins. 4. I think she can. She could bang that out. Tam looks strong like. Like a woman is made to give birth. You know what I'm saying?

[Tam Bam]

Are you A Hebrew Israelite?

[A.J. Holiday]

No, no, no, I'm not.

[Tam Bam]

Oh, okay. Just asking my friend in the house for four other women.

[A.J. Holiday]

No, no, that I'm not. I mean, if she's open to it, like something I will put put off the table, but. But right now I don't have the energy for more than one. I'm getting older. I mean, I haven't got to that place yet where you don't need any help. But I'm not no spring chicken, so.

[Tam Bam]

It works is what I'm hearing.

[A.J. Holiday]

It works perfectly fine. I'm dreading the day that it doesn't. But hopefully time could keep it working.

[Tam Bam]

We might need to ask about blood pressure. Maybe we should have told the contestants to have a blood pressure cuff on hand.

[A.J. Holiday]

My blood pressure is great right now.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I don't know if I have any other questions. Do you? Aj.

[Tam Bam]

I guess that's it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay.

[A.J. Holiday]

I need to lighten up. You said.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

What are you. Are you. Are you smoking?

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah, I am. No, I smoke marijuana, so I'm smoking a little. A little pre roll right now.

[Tam Bam]

Oh, okay. Great match.

[A.J. Holiday]

What is it my voice sound like I'm a smoker?

[Tam Bam]

No, no, I heard you like flicking. I was just asking because, you know, I think that. I don't know, for me, cigarettes would definitely be like a non.

[A.J. Holiday]

I've never smoked a cigarette.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, no cigarette.

[A.J. Holiday]

Never at all. So listen, let me ask Tam some questions really quick, okay. You know what I'm saying? If I'm trying to make her my not wife, but baby mama, you know? You know what I'm saying? What, what do you want out of a relationship?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

10 a husband. I want a husband. Yeah.

[A.J. Holiday]

So I would have to really budge and fall into that to. To that society's tradition, you know, not.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Not necessarily societies, just mine perhaps. You know, I want to be a wife. I don't want to just be a long term girlfriend or what would make.

[A.J. Holiday]

What? Tell me what makes a difference, right? Outside of like because you can buy, you can purchase property together without being married. Right. Two people are going to be on a deed. You guys can obviously live in the same household, have children, live a fruitful life without, you know, some paperwork saying that you guys are married. So you give me a perfect example of what makes a difference.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It's not just about the paperwork for me. I come from a Christian home and I want my union ordained by God. That's important to me, you know, I got you.

[A.J. Holiday]

I respect it. I respect religion for sure it can.

[Tam Bam]

Technically be ordained by God, but what Happens now in society is where the courts have to also, right?

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah, that's the part.

[Tam Bam]

Can you be married without the courts?

[A.J. Holiday]

Yes.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yes.

[Tam Bam]

If it's under God. We do it that way.

[A.J. Holiday]

So I'm Muslim, just so you know. I'm not an Israelite, but I am Muslim.

[Tam Bam]

Oh, okay.

[A.J. Holiday]

So I'll be willing to marry a woman in an Islamic center. Right. With the iman there, but not through the state, not with the paperwork. So that's my.

[Tam Bam]

That's ordained by God and everything else.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What I. You say, like, you. You know, you listen to the show, but you have had to have heard that I eat bacon.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yeah. I mean, those are one of the things that was a deal breaker. But I said to myself once, Tam spends some time around me, right, and she feels my energy and my disposition. I'll get her to stop eating bacon in no time. So you'll be a turkey bacon eater within three months.

[Tam Bam]

Aj, I got sugar straight.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

No.

[A.J. Holiday]

No pluck on my fork. Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It's strict around here.

[A.J. Holiday]

So you living and dying by some bacon, huh?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

No, no, no, I'm not. You know, that's. It's. I could get rid of it, honestly, but.

[A.J. Holiday]

Okay. All right, my last question to you, Ted. How long do you feel.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I thought we was interviewing the niggas. How is he interviewing?

[A.J. Holiday]

Listen, I'm taking over the show, all right? That's it. So I want to know how long is there a certain amount of time that it would take for you to give up the buns after dating somebody?

[Tam Bam]

Okay, that's enough.

[A.J. Holiday]

I mean, look, that's. That's a legitimate question. I mean, what's the time period before you feel like, oh, I'm comfortable enough to be intimate with a man? I don't think that's an unreasonable question. We're adults here.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay, I'll answer this question. I was gonna hang up on you, but I'll answer the question.

[I]

Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I don't think there's a timeline. You know, I go off the energy, so whenever the energy feels right, that's when it'll happen.

[A.J. Holiday]

That sounds good. I respect it. I live by those rules as well.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, there is no right time. But, you know, out of all the things that you could have asked, you wanted to know about.

[A.J. Holiday]

Yes. I'm a very sexual person. I'm sorry. Very blunt.

[Tam Bam]

What's your. What's your sign, Nico, before Scorpio. Talk about it, girl. Bye. Let's hang up on this, right? Let's hang up on this Italian right now. Really? Really? Yeah.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

This was really good. You seem like a great guy. And we're gonna let our listeners decide who they choose for me. So we'll see what happens next.

[A.J. Holiday]

Sounds good to me. Bang on me. Go ahead, aj.

[Tam Bam]

Nico, Nico, Nico. I don't know, man. It sounds like you signing up for a cult of some sort.

[A.J. Holiday]

Tamma, be safe. So I got a feeling that AJ's gonna be on my side. Tam, the rest of the guys are done, so go ahead and pick your choice. I'll be ready when you, you know, when you call on me. All righty.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

All right, Nico.

[Tam Bam]

All right, Nico, we appreciate you.

Willie, are you. Are you looking to be married within the next four to five, within the next one to two years? Let's just speed this up a bit, you know, because we 40. Okay.

[Willie]

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I think, you know, right now, yeah, yeah, I'm 40 for sure. I'm. I'm just real intentional, you know, my next few moves are very intentional. So I would love for it to turn out in that situation, I don't want to rush nothing. But, yeah, it's very possible I could be married if I find that right person, you know, it's tam bam not to act right. We might be able to do that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You know, I know how to act.

[Willie]

Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I'm actually taking action classes right now.

[Willie]

I believe it.

[Tam Bam]

What's. What's your love language? I know a lot of people have a combination of them, but what. What would you say your love language is?

[Willie]

You know, I do like physical touch, you know, That's. That's always a plus, you know? I don't know, man. I would say that. But I mean, for me, you know, I don't want to just stick to what people say. I think for me, a real big. Is communication. You know, we could talk through a lot of stuff. Like, that's important to me because it. If we choose each other, we choose each other. But if we can't communicate, it's a problem. So, you know, effectively communicating. That's my love language.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What are your deal breakers, Willie?

[Willie]

Oh, my deal breakers? Yeah. A woman that doesn't have emotional intelligence, you know, she gets all upset. No accountability is real big. No accountability. That's just. That sucks. You know what I'm saying? Like, you always feel like you at fault, you know? That's not. That's whack.

[Tam Bam]

So is that something you experienced a lot in your previous relationships?

[Willie]

Yeah, that's something I experienced a lot in women, period, to be honest.

[Tam Bam]

You saying your mama don't got no emotional intelligence?

[Willie]

You know, Tina is a winner, but, yeah. Nah, I think. And then if she's not funny, you know, I need us to be able to sit back and laugh. So she ain't funny. She always serious, Taking these jokes too serious. Then we ain't gonna make it. To be honest. We ain't gonna make it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

That's. That's actually important to me, too.

[Willie]

Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

But, you know, well, sometimes with women, like, the jokes was funny until they became your girl. Now all of a sudden, your jokes ain't funny no more.

[Willie]

That's always my problem, okay, A.J. always. And that's what I don't like, you know? So we'll see how that works out. I'm gonna have to give it back to the streets. You're getting these attitudes. Had to get up out of here.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What's your hidden talent, Willie?

[Willie]

I could do the helicopter. Nah.

[Tam Bam]

Can we see? I mean, I didn't play. I didn't ask the last two contest. Well, I Kind of did, but we didn't. Visuals.

[Willie]

I play a couple of instruments. I play a couple of instruments. You know, I don't know. That's really hidden, but, you know, that's my thing. I like to play a couple instruments.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So you're into music?

[Willie]

Yeah. Real big.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah. Women love positions.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What's the question?

[Willie]

Hey, say that again.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What's your perfect date idea? Like, if you were to take me out, where would you want to take me?

[Willie]

I think it would be, you know, let's see. I would. I would like to go get something to eat, obviously. You know, skate that out the gate, get some real nice. A real nice plate. And then I would think, I want to do a comedy show. I think a comedy show would be pretty dope. Sit back and have some good laughs and then end it with a couple drinks somewhere in the lounge, you know. And then at the end of the night, you know, a little cuddle, nothing crazy, you know, a couple booty rubs in the night with. We ain't got to do too much after that.

[Tam Bam]

Okay, what's. What's your favorite black movie couple, and why?

[Willie]

Well, you know, I got two, because one's a movie I'm gonna just rock with, you know, I gotta rock with Love Jones, you know what I'm saying? Okay, that's my first one. Then the second one, I'm gonna have to say it's not a movie, but it's a show. I'm gonna say Issa and Lawrence. If I'm insecure, I rock with them. You know, there's ups and downs. I think that's the closest thing to a modern love with, you know, social media and all that shit included, you know, I think that one. I like that one. I like them, too.

[Tam Bam]

Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Did you say you wanted more kids?

[Willie]

What's yalls favorite black couples?

[Tam Bam]

I mean, I would say Love Jones too, you know, because I just feel like that's a lot of people's story. It's just that situation ship complicated, you know what I'm saying? Back and forth. Yeah, a lot of people. I mean, that's. It's a little toxic. And I think that people like toxicity and they don't want to admit to it, though. It's like a sixth love language that a lot of people just don't recognize. They actually like. We don't like it.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Too easy.

[Tam Bam]

Gotta be a little. Little thunder.

[Willie]

Yeah, for sure.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I. I don't know if that's mine, if I'm being honest. They not black people. The Notebook. It's such A beautiful story. He just loved her so much. Their whole life to the end, you know? It was a beautiful story. It had his ups and downs too. You know, maybe you.

[Tam Bam]

Maybe he can bring you to Charleston to go to Cypress Garden. You know, that. That. That water scene, that's where it was.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Are you familiar with South Carolina, Willie?

[Willie]

No. I mean, no, not really. I try to stay from that area, but I'll pull up for you.

[Tam Bam]

You know, perfect date location. Okay. I'm just giving you some hints. Big woolly.

[Willie]

I appreciate it. Appreciate the oop. I appreciate that. Alley oop.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What do you think? How do you handle disagreements?

[Willie]

That's a good question. Like I said, I think communication is. Is huge. So I would want to definitely. Like, we need to get to the root, but whatever it is, that's number one. She might be lashing out because it's something else from last week and this reminded her or something like that that we didn't speak about. So I want to sit down and get to the root. And I think once we actually put it on the table, you tell me how you feeling? I'll tell you why I feel a certain way about this. I think we should be able to move on. You know, I don't think it should be something that lingers because then that turns into more, you know, let's just get it over with. Knock it out.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So you don't go to bed angry.

[Willie]

Well, you know, I mean, I don't know if it's a. You know, everybody says that I'm gonna go to bed angry, but sometimes, you know, you might need a couple extra hours before we can actually have this conversation. Cause it. We might be still fuming over it, and, you know, it could be a misunderstanding. But if. If we need to go to bed, you know, as long as I get to hold you, you know, you ain't. You can be upset as long as I can hold you. We'll. We'll talk about it in the morning.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

See, I gotta say this, Will. If I'm upset, please don't touch me.

[Willie]

Oh, you don't want me to touch you?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I'm gonna want you to touch me.

[Willie]

You're gonna want me to touch you for sure.

[Tam Bam]

Okay, so are you. Are you the type, like. Cause for me, like, I need to calm down first before we can have the conversation. But then some people wanna do it, right? Like, no, you can't walk away.

[Willie]

Yeah.

[Tam Bam]

Right now. Yeah.

[Willie]

See, that's what I'm saying. See, that's aggressive. Like, that's what I mean. I would like. I'll let it sit. But I don't want you walking around slamming doors, you know, walking, like, doing all that either, you know, so let's sit down, and if you need a minute, I give you a minute, you know, sit down, watch you some housewives. I don't know what y'all watching these days. You know, whatever it take, get your mind right and, you know, come back with some food or something, sit back and eat and, you know, then I talk with you gently. You know, you gotta start it out like that. I'll set the tone and see how you respond.

[Tam Bam]

And Tim asked, did you say you wanted more kids?

[Willie]

I'm open to it.

[Tam Bam]

Okay.

[Willie]

You know, I'm open to it. I wouldn't say yes or to say no. You know, I think we gotta be on the same page with that, because right now I'm thinking legacy, you know, I'm business minded. So if. If it happens, it happens. If not, you know, we'll figure, we'll see what happens.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

What's your go to karaoke song?

[Willie]

Southside, Little Kiki.

[Tam Bam]

What?

[Willie]

When y'all hear it, get up and do it.

[Tam Bam]

If an ex had to describe you in one sentence, what do you think, or what would you say they would actually say about you?

[Willie]

It depends on the ex, but. So, you know, I would think they would say I was funny. You know, I'm a provider. You know, a pleaser. Okay. And headstrong. You know, I might be a little stubborn sometimes, so I think those would be the things they would say.

[Tam Bam]

All right.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay. What's one quality you admire most in other people.

[Willie]

These days? If somebody can just, you know, being kind, you know, like, I guess, like, because, you know, everybody's having a different kind of day. So if I run to somebody and you just got an attitude or, you know, you coming off nasty, like, you just never know who you're talking to. So, you know, if I'm walking with you and especially my lady, and we're out somewhere, and I've been with people that just got a little like. Like, little snap to them all the time, talking to people, you know, I don't like that. So being kind to people because of, you know, you put out what you want in return. So that's what I like.

[Tam Bam]

So would you say that's like a green flag that would, like, make you instantly.

[Willie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

[Tam Bam]

Compassion.

[Willie]

Yeah. If she's. People are smiling when they see her and, you know, because of her energy and that makes me, you know, want to be around them. More, too.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

So, Willie, what is it about me that you like that made you want to participate in this?

[Willie]

You know, I mean, you know, first off, obviously, the physical is already there. Beautiful. You have a very beautiful, beautiful smile. You know, from what I've seen on the shows and heard, you know, we like to make jokes, you know, and I can help you with that. I think I can help you touch up some of these jokes, you know what I'm saying? Which is. Nothing wrong with that. But those things stood out to me, you know what I'm saying? Black and beautiful, you know? And you do got a little. You know, you got some cheeks back there as well.

[Tam Bam]

Clap.

[Willie]

Absolutely, absolutely. These are all positive things. But, you know, that's from. From afar. I have to see what it's like in real life as far as you as a person. So that's what piqued my interest.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Thank you, Willie, for noticing.

[Tam Bam]

Thank you for noticing this ass.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I was talking about my smile.

[Willie]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

All right. If you were stranded on a desert island, a deserted island, and you could bring only three things, what would they be?

[Willie]

By myself.

[Tam Bam]

No. If y'all were stranded.

[Willie]

That's what I'm saying.

[Tam Bam]

You and Tam.

[Willie]

Oh, that's a good question.

[Tam Bam]

We trying to see if you a. Who know how to chop wood. Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Still, I'm gonna tell you my three things, so then you can base yours off of what I'm already bringing.

[Willie]

All right. Look, what you bringing some.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

It's like. I'm joking.

[Willie]

You gotta stay warm tonight. You gotta stay warm tonight.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I'm gonna bring a lighter. We need fire.

[Willie]

Okay.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Hot, for sure. Cause if we boil any water, we can survive off of it.

[Willie]

All right?

[Harley Quinn Smith]

And the cell phone. Bitch, we gotta call somebody to get us out of here.

[Willie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie]

Yeah. I would definitely bring a knife, you know what I'm saying? So we can be able to chop like you say. I need to, you know, ax or something to get. Be able to build something for us that's off the rip. You already got the fire, so I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna bring us a gun, you know, just in case. Something else I need. I got a rifle. I'm ready to go, just in case we need to shoot something. I ain't really trying to chase no food down, you know, I'm trying to shoot it down and let you cook it. And then I'm gonna bring a blanket. You know what I'm talking about? That's the third one. So when I build this little tent we could be. You know, we can be bundled up after you cook for us.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay.

[Tam Bam]

So he's into traditional roles. You know, you're. You're gonna be good.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, let me know. I'm gonna cook, but that's fine. I don't mind that.

[Willie]

Absolutely. We'll be all right.

[Tam Bam]

Well, my last question is, what. What is black love to you?

[Willie]

Black love to me is just mandatory, you know, I think that it's how it will, like, prevail in the years to come. I think it's so mandatory. It's like, as far as legacy, not just individual, just legacy as a whole for black people. You know, when I talk to a lot of friends now, there's so many of us that. That aren't married, you know, or a lot of us don't even want to be married, you know, So I know that if I think about just black wealth, I think that's a key point, a key component for us in the future. But also, I just think it's just like, you know, just black love just looks so good. It looks like it just. You know, I ain't been in it so long, but it just. It's just where I want to be, you know? Feels like home when I'm in there. I was like, oh, yeah, I'm good. This is. This is a good feeling.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

How long ago was your last relationship?

[Willie]

Oh, man, it's been a while, you know, maybe, you know, like, maybe like six years, you know?

[Tam Bam]

Was she Asian or something? Was she outside of the community?

[Willie]

She was black. She was black.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Have you ever dated outside of the community?

[Willie]

Yeah, Yeah, I have.

[Tam Bam]

Who coochie better?

[Willie]

Oh, I think that's on an individual basis, you know what I'm saying?

[Tam Bam]

Got that fire. Okay. I heard they coochie was different. It got like a little curve to it or something.

[Willie]

Yeah, they got. They got that bush, too. They got a different kind of bush. It's thick as hell. Okay.

[Tam Bam]

Sticky.

[Willie]

Yeah, it's a lot going on down here.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

All right, relax, Willie. Calm down.

[Willie]

Calm down. She got me going down memory line.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

All right, just tell us one last thing that you would want us to remember you by our listeners to vote for you.

[Willie]

Oh, oh, they voting over here. All right. I mean, I'm clearly the choice. I'm the one. You know, it's these other dudes. They cool. They kind of the dudes you like. Oh, yeah, he was nice, but he really didn't leave that effect on me. I. That's what Willie's gonna do. You know what I'm saying, big Daddy Willie's coming through, baby. I got you. You know what I'm saying? Nah, but really, it's just gonna be a good time. It's gonna be a great life. It's gonna be the life that you really dreamt about. You know what I'm saying? That's what's hard.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yes.

[Tam Bam]

Come on, Willie.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Okay.

[Tam Bam]

Tell them dreams. You know, we love fairy tales.

[Willie]

Absolutely. Absolutely.

[Tam Bam]

Yeah, I. I actually like. Yeah. Number two. I don't know about that dude, man. He just sound like you about to have your ass in the jammies on somewhere in the Bronx. Doesn't sound appeasing.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, I know. He's gonna fill me up with kids and then leave me. Yes, that's what I think. I don't know. But contested one and three, they were.

[Tam Bam]

Pretty nice now, so I think our listeners, they're gonna have a tough time deciding. I don't know. I don't know which one I would pick for you. They both sound pretty good, though.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Yeah, maybe I just go out with all three of them. Listen, no, everybody pick y'all. So we're gonna put the post up. It should be up by the time you've heard this. Go ahead and slide in the DMs and tell us, who is it? Is it Jordan? Is it Nico? Or is it Willie? Let it.

Anyway, you guys, we gotta do this more often. If you don't. If these. These guys don't work out, we might have to do this quarterly until you get you a right.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

And now I'm just gonna go on a date and see how it goes, you know?

[Tam Bam]

Yeah.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

This is fun, though. Oh, let me tell y'all this. I can't see any of these men. I can't see them. So it's just based off of what they're saying, you know? So y'all getting the same thing I'm getting. I know you're gonna be like, we can't see these. Neither can I. So I see them AJ seen him. I haven't seen them, but I didn't want it to be just about or even about how they look. I wanted to be about who they are. So.

[Tam Bam]

Oh, what is that? Love is blind. Yeah, love is blind. For the love of Tam Bam. For the love of Tam Bam. The Love is Blind edition, period.
