Speaker 1:This is just because I know usher Right. Anyways, let me confess.
Speaker 2:Let me confess you, you burning right now. You burning right now. You ain't gotta say nothing but a word you are burning right now.
Speaker 1:So you know there's certain times in your life where you have full circle moments. You know what I'm saying. I was going to start off Of when I bought that album at 10 years old and albums used to cost $10. I bought the cd at walmart. You had me bought destiny childs. I don't remember the album, but I was, destiny fulfilled. Destiny fulfilled. It was the brown with the with the champagne gold. Whatever, you know the album.
Speaker 2:It was black. They had two cds, whatever.
Speaker 1:I was going to start with that, and then I was going to end but we already told that story. Nope, I was going to end with this. You'll be having these full circle moments and y'all know if you, if you listen to Our dreamville episode or if you watch the vlog it's better, if you watch the vlog, the level of excitement I had when I seen usher.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Could only be explained as childlike wonder glee glee, joy, happiness, ecstatic, ecstatic.
Speaker 2:What ecstatic what?
Speaker 1:I was ecstatic. What do you mean? Okay, to see that man on that, on that, uh, on that stage. A static is a word, yeah.
Speaker 1:I know it's a word and Be in the moment To where you know you hear songs like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, and then you hear them caught up, unit caught up, or Confessions these are my confessions, man, all those things. And To hear that this man is going on tour and I'm finally at the age where I realize, if I don't go start seeing the people who I was, who the people I enjoyed in my youth, Say, for instance, like a Steph Curry, say a LeBron James, LeBron James say a Carmelo Anthony before he retired.
Speaker 1:If I don't see them now, I might miss my opportunity to actually have that full enjoyment, you know, and Usher in all his craze, all this excitement, the genius that he is says I'm gonna give y'all a sneak peek of what a tour at 50 something Looks like.
Speaker 2:He's not 50.
Speaker 1:How does he? I mean?
Speaker 2:He's probably like the same age as Beyonce hold his Beyonce like 30, 40, 41, beyonce's 41.
Speaker 1:Okay, look, look up usher Raymond's age, since you want to always refuse me on something.
Speaker 2:I'm not trying to refuse you, I just think that he's not 50.
Speaker 1:So the level of excitement that I have when I seen usher Raymond Turned the whole world into the a he's 45. Hmm, I was closer than you were the Level of excitement I had when usher Raymond turned the whole world into the a yeah saying mama, we made it. Yeah, I Was overjoyed one To relive my youth. Usher brings me back to a simpler time when I was ten, didn't know nothing about what his songs meant or life.
Speaker 1:Or life. Yeah, and I would just be singing all of these songs from caught up To all the way to Trade and places round to. You've been me, I've been you.
Speaker 2:Honestly, I really did like that song.
Speaker 1:That's a good song, I know that's a really good one. That's like a top usher song, that is a top usher song the way I used to be playing dreaded.
Speaker 2:You don't know what my favorite usher song is what we'll get there.
Speaker 1:Okay allow me to lead the show no problem because what I was going to go into is that full circle moment.
Speaker 2:If we don't do it your way, it's no way.
Speaker 1:That's a lot.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:The full circle moment I thought, was that dreamville, not?
Speaker 2:dream was a good it's good show. Also, I wish I was like Maybe like 15% soberer, because by the time usher came out I was drunk and I would say the room was spinning but we was outside, so I was just spinning and like I was getting videos and I was, but I just wanted to be in that experience. But yeah, dream though.
Speaker 1:No, all I was gonna say is I thought I had a full circle moment and now to see the beauty of music transcend generations, yeah I think is one of the coolest experiences that I'm actually getting to be a part of, because to see my niece Dance to usher like she was I, like I was dancing to usher, ten years old- Well, you was dancing to usher that night and I was dancing to usher that night, holding by a niece, yn, and I'm just so happy like it was a really cool moment to see One.
Speaker 1:A whole entire family enjoyed music good music. Yes black music. Yes, yes in a black ass way. Yes and I was just like this is what life should be.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm saying like we were showing the kiddies good music. It wasn't really all that wholesome, but what he was doing on that stage the boy bought our roller skates white people, you don't even know the roller skate culture, you don't even know how big that was for him to show.
Speaker 2:So today we're talking about usher at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1:Y'all don't even understand. I hate to say it. I'm not even gonna use not other culture, I wipe people. You don't understand how monumental that is.
Speaker 2:Some people do, but the ones for the majority, the people who were watching the Super Bowl for show autumn in the in the sky Bucks would tell us what probably like oh, why is he roller skating?
Speaker 1:because that is so Atlanta. Yeah man, if y'all watch ATL, holla at your boy. Tip was a tip, new, new.
Speaker 2:Rashad Rashad.
Speaker 1:Rashad. There we go. I was trying to get there anyways To see that and to see honestly what sometimes I truly, truly forget is Really the number of hits usher has by himself. But the number of hits he has With probably some of the most famous artists, like ever and we'd even really get to hear here. Y'all heard us talk about good, good. I can't wait to see him perform that in. October, because guess who bought tickets during the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2:That's a no. You bought them before like I bought them during oh, before, but before I should perform, correct, yes, before I should perform, because I said as soon as this man perform, them tickets is going to go up and they already was up.
Speaker 2:They was already up before they even went on regular sale. So everybody pre-sale. I don't know how fuck they did it. You were able to get on the pre-sale, but Like it was just ridiculous. So and I told him, I said, hey, these tickets are going to go up. I sent them to you as soon as they dropped the pre-sale and I was just like these tickets are going to go up and they're, and they go on sale the day after the Super Bowl, because it's a smart ass tactic that it is making so much money.
Speaker 1:Oh, 100%.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's really ingenious what he did, because he still has his residency in Vegas, but I think he's gonna obviously take a break while he's on tour, yeah and he can charge whatever price, because not only is he getting so this is why it's so genius Not only is he getting new fans, but he's getting the old fans that have appreciated his catalog, like I'm thinking about all the usher songs that I know and I'm like I know Three, almost four decades of this. I know, actually I know four decades of this man's music 90s, 2000s, 10s and now the 20s. This is incredible. His show ought to be four hours and, honestly, I'm gonna be here for it.
Speaker 2:I got a seat. You know he's standing for four hours.
Speaker 1:We got VIP relax.
Speaker 2:You slip that in there.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't.
Speaker 2:Just cuz you wanted to flex, no I did not want to flex.
Speaker 1:That's the truth. No, actually you made me give VIP because you said you would not go unless you get VIP.
Speaker 2:So no, no, no. I never said that. I never said that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I never said that.
Speaker 1:Okay, that I never said sure.
Speaker 2:I just said if you're going to pay for seats at the United Center, the 100 level is not that great of a seat, because when I was at 50 cent who I love. I don't care about the controversy behind him, I don't care about what y'all have to say.
Speaker 2:People. People don't like him. They think he's a jack-aI Can hear all that. I can hear all that and still know that 50 cent does it for me and I was in the 100 level. I paid $300 for my ticket for that and and I was still far as hell and it was 100 level.
Speaker 1:So if you're gonna be in that experience, also cuz you're blind, I would no, no, I have my glasses.
Speaker 2:On what with my glasses, my vision is perfect.
Speaker 1:So we were in Madison Square Garden at the hundred level. It's the same thing.
Speaker 2:It just depends on the stadium.
Speaker 1:No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2:I think it does, I think it is. I don't think so, I don't think so. But anyway, exactly, oh sure.
Speaker 1:Oh sure, so it was, uh, it was. So I went from full circuit to a full circle is to appreciation, because so, remember, I just want you to realize she was getting on me about singing and I wasn't singing, I was just Three times. I was just a number of times that you ever have sang and count the many times of us.
Speaker 2:And you said like eight songs once.
Speaker 1:Okay, once you're once.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna tell the people at your job that you can't count once.
Speaker 1:Anyways, the Level of appreciation I had was so fun because to see the kids get excited because the adults are getting excited, that's how you share Sorry.
Speaker 2:I yawned and I my head was back, but then, when I came forward, my mouth was still open.
Speaker 1:Anyways, you, you, you see how cool music can be, and I feel like sometimes you forget that because we all get super into our playlist and Music is an experience that is always meant to be shared. That's why, yes, yes. And in that moment because really I did not care about the Super Bowl. I thought the Super Bowl was actually a waste of time.
Speaker 2:It was so boring. Oh my goodness, these things could not score no touchdowns, like it's rigged it had to be rigged.
Speaker 1:I'm just gonna say this I think the I don't think the NFL is really ready for a black, dark-skinned quarterback with corn, with braids, to win in the NFL and that be the face of the NFL. So for that reason I'm not boy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they throw. They throw in Patrick Mahomes at us like, yeah, he's half black.
Speaker 1:Is he? He is, yummy, he is. He's. His daddy is black as hell. Is that is black as hell?
Speaker 2:and then we need to talk about blackness because, like yes, not right now we can make that its own episode, because we still need to talk about black history month. But blackness is it has to be more than just like skin. It has to be more than just blackness is a culture, which means that if you don't identify with the culture in certain aspects, why would Patrick Mahomes not identify with the culture?
Speaker 1:Please tell me, because this is all your perception. You don't know who he is in this house. You don't know how who he is.
Speaker 2:You can't. You can't be black in the house with a white person laying next to you.
Speaker 1:What I.
Speaker 2:Don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:No, you don't, you just saying stuff.
Speaker 2:I'm not.
Speaker 1:All his friends is black, are they? He acts black as hell does he? So you're my point. I I believe in the school of Dr Umar if at today, johnson and as he says, you believe in a hotel as you believe in a hotel, as he states in his practice and is as he states practice and his belief you know, to snow buddies, and I believe that as well. Okay, no to snow. You're not saying anything of substance.
Speaker 2:You're just saying something because the people who, the people who need to get it. I'm not trying to be funny.
Speaker 1:I get what you're saying, but that doesn't mean anything. You can't say that somebody is so like who made you? I'm not saying that I am. Somebody's blackness.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, I'm not. I'm just asking is is he? Because blackness is, is more than just who you came from, that happened to be black, but these are all social constructs that were created by people who were.
Speaker 1:The main oppressors of life trying to exile people at the Kool-Aid. Why are you trying to take out a green? It's out the Kool-Aid. I don't care what you drink, you you've been.
Speaker 2:This is what they call it.
Speaker 1:So black people are one of the few people that always go on this elitist hill like who cares?
Speaker 2:I don't think there's a problem with being so you lack elitist like elitist towards Other races, not in a way that others them in a negative way, but in a way that celebrates us being elitist white being elitist and being, can you stop? Interrupting me. You've been doing that to me the whole episode, but now I have since stopped. Okay, go ahead and I let you go on our tangent about beautiful. Here you go, interrupted me you, carrying, you carrying let's move on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you carrying. Anyways, explain bed and Carson.
Speaker 2:I'm not. I said let's move on.
Speaker 1:I'm not talking about this with you.
Speaker 2:Why? Because you keep interrupting me.
Speaker 1:So don't get upset when some of it, when you've been doing it to hold no, no, and I stopped a G you went on a whole stop. You did not stop. You interrupted me three times like don't, don't. And I stopped that. Yummy, don't do that.
Speaker 2:And you went on talking about how the beautifulness of I let you, I did not interrupt you that whole time. Yes, okay.
Speaker 1:So what are you talking about? You're lying. We could play this playback. We all have to find out to argue with you. We don't hear it, so go ahead.
Speaker 2:Let's move on. I don't care about Ben Carson. Fuck that nigga right my point.
Speaker 1:You not black. He got a black wife. Okay, camilla Harris, I'm saying like Camilla Harris.
Speaker 2:Camilla Harris. That's the first vice president of the.
Speaker 1:United States right, but got a white man, jewish man at that too.
Speaker 2:And I'm not here to argue what's blackness and what's not.
Speaker 1:I just I'm not.
Speaker 2:I didn't argue with you about Patrick Mahomes. I just asked is he? I didn't argue. That's not a argument. A question is not an argument.
Speaker 1:I feel like if you question anybody, that's an argument.
Speaker 2:I Didn't engage in any conversation past the is he you Went and turned into an argument. I do that all the time. I ask questions that I'm not.
Speaker 1:You.
Speaker 2:Nothing do usher, let's get back on the rock of office, have white. Okay, what are you saying? I said I'm following the practice of Dr Umar.
Speaker 1:if a tune day right, hotel, Johnson hotel okay and in his practice he says no snow bunnies.
Speaker 2:Okay and that's all I have to say about that, because if you believe in black people, then you need to believe in the black woman. Okay and you need to believe in the black nuclear family.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Because blackness is going to become extinct at a certain point because of the mixing no, but I hear you, but then that you can say that it may get diluted in a way.
Speaker 1:You can say that for every ethnicity.
Speaker 2:We're not talking about them. Why would I be talking about other?
Speaker 1:Say you you, you took it another way and I was just trying to.
Speaker 2:Well, I told you to, let's move on.
Speaker 1:Carson because I don't care about that guy. I gave you about three or four others. I gave you about three or four others. Who else did you say? I said come out, kamala Harris. Mm-hmm if you want to go that way, we can go.
Speaker 2:Colin Powell, there's your name more with more people who aren't usher. Let's talk about the topic, the topic in here and we're talking about.
Speaker 1:I'm just giving you all these people who's mixed.
Speaker 2:I don't know why you know all these mixed people.
Speaker 1:These are some of the most powerful people in our country. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:What is Colin Powell do? Was was.
Speaker 1:This was the secretary of defense was, which is like the third or fourth person and we've been fighting for our lives Since before and after and during his term. Condoleezza rice was also the secretary was.
Speaker 2:Defense and guess what?
Speaker 1:we have been defenseless when they were serving so what are you making people is y'all gotta know y'all y'all. This is why history is important, cuz everybody was like who are any of these people?
Speaker 2:No, I know who consulate the rice is and who is Colin Powell cuz consulate rice actually served under George Bush. So what are you talking about and who are you talking about? You not go out smart me, I know what the fuck I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I'm just, I'm a ghetto intellectual. What was God? What was God the leaves condolence arise? What was she a?
Speaker 2:Black woman. What are?
Speaker 1:you saying no, she was a Republican, you didn't know that you didn't know you couldn't do.
Speaker 2:What was kind of these rights? I could have said anything. A weed smoker like a Left-handed bitch, I don't know. I could have said anything. I was I supposed to know you was thinking Republican.
Speaker 1:What the hell.
Speaker 2:He said what is she?
Speaker 1:like I could have said anything. What did you think about his half-time? I?
Speaker 2:thought it was amazing. I thought it was great. I was great. It was a beautiful show. I loved how black it was and I love that it was black as hell At this white-ass sporting event, even though football is predominantly a black sport. I just meant like the teams like we wanted to see Detroit versus Baltimore, and we did not get that.
Speaker 2:Quarterback is white but I'm not talking about from the standpoint of the quarterback and the players, the, the figureheads of the of the teams. I'm talking about more so the culture. Like Detroit is a black-ass area. Baltimore is literally named the chocolate city. It's a part of DC where black people resonate in full, in, in fullness. So I that's what we were expecting. And then we got San Francisco and Kansas City, which isn't as bad. Is it Kansas City, missouri or Kansas City, kansas?
Speaker 1:Kansas.
Speaker 2:Kansas. Okay. So yeah, white, like I said. So I feel like it borders. I know I know a borders because I've been to Kansas City, missouri, and I've been to Kansas City, kansas. It's literally like, like, like a, like a white line or a red line rather, and you can just cross over and you're in one state or another. So I just feel like, given that the teams were not the teams that us black-ass people wanted and that's no shade to the people who aren't black-ass people, if you're just like a regular black person, we don't have to get into that, but like to have us sure you just coming at every like, did you just watch dr Umar or something?
Speaker 2:No, I just you know, I'm just so to watch us sure give this black-ass performance between the strippers and the roller skates and the HBCU band and Then ending off saying, literally, I brought the world, I brought the eight to the world. It was great, it was beautiful, I loved it, I love all. I loved all those things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the only thing I was confused about too many transitions of songs. No, but that's cuz he had to.
Speaker 2:well, he has too much music, yeah and also like if you have Ludacris and little John on the same stage and you didn't do.
Speaker 1:Lovers of France, that's all I was expecting. You was over here doing a whole another. I was like, can we just do both the?
Speaker 2:songs. He had Alicia Keys and Alicia Keys fucked up that note. Wait, that's not even. That's only Alicia Keys song.
Speaker 1:I think they did a remix no Okay did she? I wasn't being exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2:But she was, it was not, it was sure.
Speaker 1:And then he brought will I am and I was like why is will I am?
Speaker 2:couldn't hear him, couldn't hear I was confused why he was wearing a mask.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was just like do you?
Speaker 2:not. You know, he's weird, he's a futuristic guy, so that's like a part of his aesthetic to not have an identity. Yeah, okay. Oh my gosh, he could left that out, to be quite honest.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he should have did. Loving this club part two baby he should have loved in this club, part two. And then little Wayne would have said she kissed my neck.
Speaker 2:You know that we all think he would have did that on there.
Speaker 1:Why not?
Speaker 2:There's you know sometimes Beyonce and little.
Speaker 1:Wayne.
Speaker 2:Little Wayne would have been cool. Little Wayne would have been cool, but I feel like little Wayne could do his own half time, like next year, because it's gonna be in New Orleans. That'd be perfect.
Speaker 1:Uh yeah, but they'll probably do somebody like her.
Speaker 2:I heard. I heard SZA maybe on the list.
Speaker 1:Her is from New Orleans, if you want to pick somebody.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's her from New Orleans. Yes, how do you know that? That's right, I think she was from Hawaii, California.
Speaker 1:Oakland the Bay. Yeah, she feel like a baby. Maybe I was.
Speaker 2:I was like put some money down that she's from, from New Orleans, because I know you lying, you know I just be making up shit.
Speaker 1:Okay, where is Andre from?
Speaker 2:New Orleans Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, juvenile, bring out you that's what I'm saying, like if they don't do it in New Orleans.
Speaker 2:They need to do it in New Orleans, Like why people know back that ass up? Why do you know back that ass up for show? Because he did a tiny desk. And so fire so up for show like yeah, make it just like a.
Speaker 1:But yeah, little Wayne would be little Wayne would be really fun.
Speaker 2:I'd be really fun. Little Wayne would be fun.
Speaker 1:You could probably bring out taking the bangers, but nobody.
Speaker 2:I doubt that, I Don't know, but we do like them. They are great taking the bangers are amazing. So can we talk about your favorite?
Speaker 1:a sure song while we have you, sure, if you want to talk about it, yeah, mine is?
Speaker 2:I can't think of the exact name of it. I think it's called calm. Maybe, if you sign on.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'll make you that's when people actually used to be lyrical. Like he's talking about sex, but he's making it relate to everything, like the wordplay is in the scheme. Rather is is about like computers. Correct, I'm gonna do it. Let me see what's the name of the song, is you?
Speaker 1:sang again. Honestly. Y'all should drink every time you ever sing, because this episode is not really about me, I'm just saying well. This is you know.
Speaker 2:It's actually called calm.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know, I said you were right.
Speaker 2:So sexy, so sexy. We don't own the copyrights to any of this, but it is really sexy. I like. I like sexy music, just in general.
Speaker 1:Um, if I fit. That's such a tough question for me because I feel like I just like usher overall, but one song I used to play on repeat is Supermodel. What you know about a Supermodel?
Speaker 2:That's not the name of the song. Bad, bad girl.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm sorry, bad girl, yeah, bad girl. Oh, work me baby. Yes, coming to me tonight. Yep, I'm ready. To be bad, yep. Yeah, that was my shit. That was like that's on confession there. I think so. Maybe part two or might be on confessions. But I like that song because, like, as I started to get older I was like I need that energy from a woman, like, just know, just I.
Speaker 2:Never heard you say any of this stuff before you, just this isn't my thought, you don't.
Speaker 1:You're not in the recess of my mind. No but doesn't it make sense now thinking about the women I be dating?
Speaker 2:Maybe not when you was in. Oh sorry, let's move on, bad girl. And what else? I really do need to go to bed. I'm so tired. I've been up since 6 30 in the morning, tired.
Speaker 1:Buzz killing 10.
Speaker 2:Apologies.
Speaker 1:I be up all the time bro.
Speaker 2:Okay, we know, did you? You do everything and anything better than everybody. First what like.
Speaker 1:Oh, this bit is tired. There's bit is sold as bitter� yeah get an. You get a new one Anyways. So yeah, that was my favorite, but if I had to go after that, I've always been.
Speaker 2:I like loving this club. Loving this club when he did it at Dreamville because he had the live band and they said do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do do, or it was even not the live band he didn't do loving the club at Dreamville. He did. It was either the live band or when the bass come in, like I think it went.
Speaker 1:Was it part two? I like loving this club.
Speaker 2:part two yeah, I mean it was only him. So one or two. I think his verse is the same, but it either went quiet or like it was a break, and then he came in with the and him and the dancers were just grooving. I have the video. I should probably post it if I can find it.
Speaker 1:I just want to let you know you cut me off to tell that story because I was about to tell my next favorite of your song. But I just wanted to say that I let you finish. But you know he was talking all that shit about how I've been cutting you off and you just did it to me. But anyways, Shumbo, we move on.
Speaker 2:You're 12.
Speaker 1:I'm my 12.
Speaker 2:I'm 20. I'm 20. You're the police, and then you're also childish.
Speaker 1:Sure, but my favorite song is obviously I said trading places. I just feel like that's a really good song, because at the end we said you've been me, I've been you, so you're going to switch this thing up, and then whatever he says after that, but then I was going to go with daddy's home. That was always a good one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that album, whatever is on that album.
Speaker 1:Is it like usher Raymond? Some Raymond.
Speaker 2:Sure, didn't he have, like an album, usher versus usher or something?
Speaker 1:like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel like it's a sure versus Raymond, because I remember like the album cover and it's like his face breaking and it's like white, because it mountains, moving mountains.
Speaker 1:Was on that song or on that album.
Speaker 2:Maybe, maybe not.
Speaker 1:I think so.
Speaker 2:I don't know his whole discography.
Speaker 1:You know there is. Let me see how the. How many usher songs can you name? Do you think you can name 20?
Speaker 2:No, probably. But I was going to say, okay, let's see if we can name 20 together. Confessions, confessions to Let it Burn. Caught up, bad girl, little freakcom Love in this club. Did I already say that one?
Speaker 1:Love in this club?
Speaker 2:I don't think daddy's home Trading places. Yeah, my boo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, OMG.
Speaker 2:Lovers and friends.
Speaker 1:My way.
Speaker 2:My way. We're going to need five more.
Speaker 1:What's the one that goes? What's the one that goes I?
Speaker 2:don't mind If you work at the club. I don't mind Chris Brown, the old Chris Brown, and then the one with Rick Ross that I like Hot Toddy.
Speaker 1:No, the one I was thinking of is this what is made for?
Speaker 2:You know I got it. That's what it's literally called. That's what it's made for. That's one of my top five too.
Speaker 1:Two more DG.
Speaker 2:Caught up. Three said that already. I'm trying to think about it can be one, only you.
Speaker 1:What's it go when you've been buying. You already know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, keep going, keep going to make you change. I was going to sing, but you keep talking about every time I sing.
Speaker 1:So let it burn? No yeah. Yeah, we already said that.
Speaker 2:We already said that DG Let it burn.
Speaker 1:Oh, was that a little burn yeah?
Speaker 2:Good, good, what the hell Good.
Speaker 1:Good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we just have an episode about that and then one for the road.
Speaker 1:There's probably more. I should start to know, because I'm trying to think about what you formed. He has same girl, but I guess I can't believe that we even that was a really good song.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry and I love the video too.
Speaker 1:I love that it was just and it was twins. That's what made it so.
Speaker 2:I was into it. I was like oh, this girl is scared to land.
Speaker 1:That's when music videos made sense.
Speaker 2:That's when they made made sense.
Speaker 1:But that was a really good song. I can't believe that me. We've been messing around with the same damn girl and I have a belief, and I want to say this because I don't know we probably got to 20, but you could keep track and if you could name songs that we completely forgot, go ahead and let us know. I'm going to say this I think there needs to be a versus between Chris Brown and usher, for whatever reason. Nobody thinks what I should say. Nobody in my household thinks that would be a good versus.
Speaker 2:We don't think we don't doubt that it would be a good versus and excuse me for cutting you off, I just think that, like usher, could play one album all the way through that has 20 songs we couldn't even name.
Speaker 2:No, if that was his, if that was his catalog for the versus excuse me, if that was his catalog for the versus, he would demolish Chris Brown. Chris Brown might get a couple at the beginning, but that nigga not going to play wall to wall and think he's going to be loving this club. What is Chris Brown actually going to play?
Speaker 1:So just that's recent, just because I came prepared, I'm just going to, I'm just going to read off usher song.
Speaker 2:So we have you didn't come prepared. I'm looking at you, look at your phone.
Speaker 1:Right, that's prepared, because I'm not because you, because you Google it real quick. No, so we have confessions. Yeah you got it the song, was you got it bad?
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:It was. That's the.
Speaker 2:I want to let it burn, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Good kisser. Oh yeah, here, here I stand. I don't remember that. No bad girl.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Can you handle?
Speaker 2:it. Yeah, if I go that's, that's it in my top five as well.
Speaker 1:You don't have to call.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, yeah, I don't know how we forgot that little freak. Yeah, I said that.
Speaker 1:That's what it's made for.
Speaker 2:That's what it's made for.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hey, daddy, hey hey.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:There goes.
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, that was a good one to get got so many songs my way.
Speaker 1:Good, good, burn my boo. You remind me of oh my God, we forgot about climax.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I really like that one too much. He was too falsetto for me. It was a good song for when it came out, because it was like very dramatic, because I think it was like after his divorce.
Speaker 1:Yes. Yeah you remind me? Okay, I said that right.
Speaker 2:You remind me of my G throwback.
Speaker 1:That's our killer love in this club. Part two my boo. We said that, yeah, you make me want to nice and slow. We didn't say that one.
Speaker 2:Wow, and I, since lows in my top five too. Okay, so I have four already superstar, superstar. You know, superstar wasn't even a single, it was just on the album and it just turned up because of his him performing it at the tiny desk.
Speaker 1:Of course, I remember that this tiny this was actually very good, like you said, hot toddy, do it for me, can you help me? Papers, papers, papers. Again. That makes sense after his divorce, right? All right? Yeah, moving mountains, like I said, all right, so that's at least 20 caught up. I'm just gonna mention that. And now, if you look at Chris Brown, I like, I feel like I, when I was telling you and some day this, yeah, I was just being like, like, feeling like I was just trying, because you know I like to.
Speaker 2:Also. I just think it's disrespectful to to usher's legacy. Okay, let's assure, as an artist, to be like oh yeah, we're gonna put your guns, chris Brown, like that's my son and Doesn't matter and that's what y'all like to do with Nicki Minaj like these are my. Okay, go ahead fine China sensational sensational fine China.
Speaker 1:Don't think they know, don't think they know mid.
Speaker 2:Yo okay, yeah, yo can be a contender, but I sure could just play something off of one of his old Like there's something in this liquor mid Usher Usher could beat that.
Speaker 1:It's not what liquor was a hit usher could beat that easily. Okay, anyways, she ain't you. Be that easily okay, under the influence I.
Speaker 2:Do like under the influence, but that sounds like every other one of his songs, to be quite honest. Take you down, take you down as a top competitor of his run it. Okay, another one, but those are. These are old Chris Brown. Like Chris Brown, doesn't have new stuff now.
Speaker 1:No BS, that's a good song.
Speaker 2:I do like Chris. I'm not saying I don't like Chris Brown.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you, this is what makes them good like no Got it sex music? No, definitely not with Drake. No, look at me now.
Speaker 2:Poppin, no poppin. Yes, poppin is quality, but he didn't write that. I mean. I mean he probably don't write majority. Neither one of them write the majority of their back to sleep. No, and the reason why I'm saying no as well is because a lot of these songs are Are like samples kiss, kiss, kiss his quality, but it's an old song. So I'm saying, like his old stuff for sure, but can that nigga give me current stuff?
Speaker 1:with you, say goodbye Loyal, like I'm just saying, like it would be a lot closer than loyalist is Like commercial. What is? Oh my god Cross over.
Speaker 2:I didn't know I wouldn't, I wouldn't even put that in my 20. I know he would. I know he would because I was a number one. Give me that and then, like Chris Brown would probably pick like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, three times or like when he was in that era, and OMG is better. Give me that is good to your naming old stuff though but that's what we would do.
Speaker 1:A usher Give man, amen Give man. When he came, I was on fire folks, I'll tell you if there was a versus, it would be comparable, yeah, I think they're done doing versus, though, like the steam has lost itself.
Speaker 2:But it shouldn't have lost itself, because I mean once they sold it to Apple music and turn it away from like new flame. They're both on that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm saying, oh yeah, that's why they could end it. You get on it. Yeah yeah, but anyways, I Understand in totality. What I'm saying is that I think it'd be a very enjoyable like that was one versus. I was really waiting for. But, shumbo, why are we talking about usher? Because, as you heard earlier in the episode, yeah, me and I bought the usher tickets on Halloween right on Halloween.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, I was very upset because, me and yummy, we do do this thing where we like to see artists in their city, or the city that was.
Speaker 2:Atlanta sold out.
Speaker 1:Yes, unless you.
Speaker 2:I told you that.
Speaker 1:Well, you should have bought them when you, when you send me the thing.
Speaker 2:I don't think the only problem I have with, like, trying to make plans with you is you. You've even said it you don't care about anybody else when you make plans. For no, no, no.
Speaker 1:That's not what I said. You like to do this thing where I'll make plans with you, and then you like to bail out the last minute and then when I find somebody else to go with, and then I'm like you still trying to go, and then you'd be trying to make me feel guilty and I'm like I not know you who I think that's separate of this.
Speaker 2:I would say, like in situations I'd be like, oh yeah, let's do it, let's go, and then you take forever in a day to actually finalize Not this time what I'm saying, like like for my birthday example, I was like, oh yeah, I want to go here for my birthday. You're like I need to see my schedule, I need to do all this, I need to do all this just for you, yeah. And then we ended up having to spend more money on the hotel and the flight because you waited so long, I didn't get to go to the place that I actually wanted to go to, and then you still ended up working For the majority of the trip because we got there on a Thursday bills.
Speaker 2:No problem, no problem, but I did all this to accommodate you and it was my birthday. Then you spent all of Thursday and all of Friday working.
Speaker 1:You don't pay my bills.
Speaker 2:No problem, I would, and I took the time off.
Speaker 1:But again, what am I supposed to do, shumbo? What am I supposed to do? Not work if you took the time off, but at that point I couldn't do it because I would even have brought my laptop because of the constraint that we were under. That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2:Anyway. But yeah, this is about I should. It's not about your job.
Speaker 1:I Was a make. It is a bye-bye job.
Speaker 2:I'm just giving you just you just saying that you will be unreasonable. Okay, you are very unreasonable. I even told you one of the most unreasonable people.
Speaker 1:I know between you and my mama there is no reason in this house there is no space. I'm not yelling. Stop doing that. Yeah, I mean, first of all, you know I have a deep voice. I'm not even. I'm not even remotely yelling. See, this is what people like to do. You ever like to do this reverse psychology shit where she?
Speaker 2:says I really wish I was doing reverse. I was asking you why you're yelling you like I wasn't being unreasonable. I even changed I. I made accommodations for you. The flight that we took was an accommodation for you honestly the, the. What we're gonna say? The place that we went was accommodation for you, because I was not even my first option, but you said it's too expensive. Cool, cool, I find somewhere else to go, no pee. So what are you saying? And tell the truth.
Speaker 1:What I'm saying is, as y'all listen to this episode, please count the number of times that yummy cut me off. Just count it, because she was really on my throat. Y'all heard earlier in the episode. Now I'm coming back full circle. Shorty keep cutting me off. Okay, and I usually let it cut her off, but she wanted to make a point today that I've been cutting her off because she's used to speaking all the time. Now she's trying to cut me off To your point. Yes, I was being very cognitive of how we were spending money. Why shambles? I mean Keeney.
Speaker 2:Keeney is what.
Speaker 1:What is why?
Speaker 2:Have to think about it. Yeah, exactly, why is?
Speaker 1:what fast forward to this day and age? Oh, I had it and I also forgot it fast forward to this day and age February, valentine's Day, february 14th, and all that me and yummy are doing in May sense, I still took the bullet, but I had to be cognitive of cuz I was thinking for the future. Now, what are you?
Speaker 2:talking about off camera or just off mic, just.
Speaker 1:What are we in the process of doing?
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, okay. I mean I Money coming, money go like you. You act like the money you have spent thus far is, is is more than you know like you wouldn't have made that back if we would have went to this is if we would have went to Dominican Republic for my birthday in July. It's February of a new year.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I want to go this year. I have to figure out where I want to go, but I have been thinking about it because I do want to make sure I'm planning ahead, but also, like I don't want to go somewhere Crazy not crazy but I don't want to go somewhere, you know, like for my birthday and be there like by myself or with you, like I want to do something like I don't know. It's a lot to think about and we're talking about a show. We're not talking about me?
Speaker 1:It's not, but I hear you.
Speaker 2:I just feel like I went to Jamaica and then you know, that was kind of like the the the top of the top, not the top of the top, but I just feel like I'm running out of places that are like that makes sense to go to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course you just cut me off again, but anyways what I was gonna say I was still in making my point, though anyways Shumbo. Actually I was gonna say but. But what I wanted to end because I mean I feel like we are all usher out is that I wanted to do kilo, kilo. Do a challenge a challenge. The challenge is Name your favorite usher feature. That is it.
Speaker 2:Where he's featured on the song or where someone's featured on his song where usher is featured.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:Wouldn't be able to do that for you.
Speaker 1:That's why I'm making it a salon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're gonna challenge for the people listening correct Shalons favorite usher challenge or feature. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do that, cuz I don't anybody asked you to.
Speaker 1:Oh Sorry, now let's move into the next segment.
Speaker 2:Oh my goodness, yeah, we were spending a lot of time talking about usher.
Speaker 1:Not really. We've been spending more time of you just cutting me off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, go. This is Things I send a G on Twitter, did you? I sent you a tweet. The day is Friday, excuse me. The tweet is this what's your hotel red flag? My hotel rough flag is why do you think I sent you this on Twitter?
Speaker 1:But yes, I mean probably because you feel like I don't book the best hotels. But if you don't feel like that, you could book the hotels yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then I send you the options and you take forever to pick one and by the time you do it's expensive.
Speaker 1:It happened in Atlanta and then you complain about the one that I picked. That's not how hotels work.
Speaker 2:That is actually not how to yes, if you wait too long, the price goes up.
Speaker 1:No, it's a hotel, bro, you could literally book.
Speaker 2:Oh, lord, please, please, tell me I'm rock you are wrong. Okay, I'm talking about the people. Please tell me I'm right you are wrong cuz. If you wait longer, the hotel costs more money when, when, when, yummy, when when, when we were going to Atlanta when when. What's a hotel red flag for you when? Cuz you just saying when we went to Atlanta, we went to Atlanta multiple the last time we went to Atlanta in October, when we were there for one music fest.
Speaker 1:What would make you think that the price went up? Because we waited till the last minute, because it did no, the price went up because you Like these expensive ass hotels.
Speaker 1:I'd be trying to buy value tier value tier, value tier, something where you could get you a little 120 to 150 a night. But you guys be trying to stay some shit. You can say it's like 273 for 355 a night. Okay, I'm gonna play one little life of luxury but don't want to act like it costs a lot of little infrastructure. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna fucking seal me. I'm not talking fast, I'm because I'm trying to be funny. I'm talking fast because I'm very passionate about what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:Motherfuckers want to pay 350 to two for two, 25 for a night in a hotel and then get bad at me because I don't want to do that. I'm a fuck like me. I'm a fucking like me. Motherfucking like me Want to stay at a place where I could do a little 150, 125, you feel me. And then you know at the end, yeah, the baby about full $500, but yeah, maybe, damn, air, seven, eight hundred dollars. But they want to get mad at me. I don't feel like you should pay a whole, whole, a thousand dollars for a hotel and I love me a good luxury, luxury hotel, boutique hotel, okay, but somebody gotta let motherfuckers know that. You know that shit, shit costs, shit costs.
Speaker 1:Hey, I'm gonna be doing this thing, I'm gonna pay you back. Yeah me do this thing. Where she'd be like I'm gonna pay you back. But paying me back mean I'm not gonna see that money for two To three months. So I have to be very cognitive of that her. She won them over, like next week me two, three weeks, two or three months.
Speaker 1:So y'all tell me what y'all doing, because I am beholden and beside myself, because everybody want to think I take my sweet ass time to do things. I don't take my sweet ass time to do things. Okay, like my dad always said, his if it was slide, I do things in my own time, on my time. That don't mean I do it. I don't take my time to do shit. It's all my time. Yeah, maybe the latest motherfucker ever. Yeah, but don't never be on time. I'll be on time. I Be on time. It might be 10 15 minutes late, but I'd be on time. Yeah, it will be a whole 30 40 minutes late. You see how she didn't come me off, because you know I'm right.
Speaker 2:Because I wanted to prove a point that if you allow him to just talk, it's just nonsense that comes out of his house.
Speaker 1:That nonsense. Everything I said was completely right. It wasn't DG it was completely right.
Speaker 2:You just lied on yourself, and then you came back and said I don't lie myself you said that you'd be on time, and then you just said you'd be 15 to 20 minutes late.
Speaker 1:That's called a joke. That's called that's a. That's a joke.
Speaker 2:Oh, I didn't laugh, I missed it.
Speaker 1:It's a joke, okay. Anyways, and that's the one thing you said, notice how you didn't talk about the hotel.
Speaker 2:I could have got on there too. Oh, you do be doing that you know.
Speaker 1:You know you. You don't understand, buddy, you just be like they did. Can we afford this? And then I have to tell you yes or no.
Speaker 2:That's what you do, yeah because I'm only asking because I know I can, and that's no shade.
Speaker 1:Don't you ever be disrespectful on this?
Speaker 2:I'm literally not.
Speaker 1:Respectable? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2:Don't you ever be disrespectful. They just calm down and let me speak real quick. You're hype, you're hype, I've just cut your hype.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're tired, I'm.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying let me talk, let me talk, let me just talk.
Speaker 1:You talk at all episode.
Speaker 2:Very true, because that's what is the podcast for us, so one of us can't be the only one talking. I Forgot the point because you talked so much. Sure, I'm tired.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, anyways, I mean no, I wasn't trying to disrespect you when I was talking about the hotels. I I'm fully aware of how much I'm willing to spend on a hotel, and that's how I pick the ones that I want to stay at. But then I have to ask you if this is okay, which is crazy, because what the fuck? But if I was to get my own hotel and you were to get your own hotel, it would be a problem.
Speaker 1:So I'm trying to be a problem. It would never be a problem. If you want to start doing that, start doing that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I mean, when we go places, you gonna have to come to me, I'm gonna have to come to you.
Speaker 1:So there's a lot more where we have to do it. So right, that's that. You see, it's crazy. It's crazy when you know it's just about compromise, because I do feel like don't compromise.
Speaker 2:No, I feel like I try to make accommodations for you and your lack of doing things early and Calling it doing it on your time, because that's literally what you just said is that's to be trying to do that. But if anybody is listening to this, they will fully tell you that if you wait longer, the price of the hotel is going to increase. They don't have a locked in fee, because they vary.
Speaker 1:They charge by the day. And what is going on in the city?
Speaker 2:That's it. And as it gets closer and her rooms start to get booked up, prices will increase. I'm not gonna argue that with you. I know for a fact that that happens.
Speaker 1:I know for a fact that happens. I'm not arguing that, but the times we've had, that's not why the-.
Speaker 2:You just like to pick, I can promise you I can go through you just like to pick $250 a night or $275 a night hotel, I can promise you, if I go through our text messages, I will show you a screenshot of a picture that shows how much a price of a hotel costs on a Monday, and then I can show you on a Friday that it increased.
Speaker 1:Right, because I just said the days that you book, the price itself doesn't change. Let's move forward.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm trying to say. What are your hotel red flags? Because you still have yet to answer the question.
Speaker 1:Don't get a little out of it.
Speaker 2:Just so I know. So for next time I decide to book a hotel-.
Speaker 1:No, you try to be funny. No, man, my red flags are always the same right Flags, bro. Say them Thanks, I mean I was getting there. You want to cut me off one more time?
Speaker 2:No, just go ahead.
Speaker 1:You can cut me off Two words, one, two. Okay, all right. Well, my red flags are simple. I'm trying to get away from carpet and if the bathroom has hair on the walls, yeah, those are my reflects. Also if the toilet paper is not folded. Those are my reflects, because that means they just did a rush job.
Speaker 2:All that stuff costs money. So these are things that I am fully aware of and I know that, and those do cost money when you upgrade from a red roofing to a AC hotel. That's all I'm gonna say. My hotel red flags are yeah, if they don't have hardwood, because I feel like it's easier to clean hardwood than it is to clean carpet and I do occasionally like to walk barefoot. Another thing is the lighting. Hotel lighting is always terrible. Third thing is they don't have like a smart TV. You don't need to have a Vizio in there, even though they are very smart TVs, but if it's just like a regular ass TV and it don't have no cable. I don't know. The beginning of the year I stayed in the Langham, which is like a luxury five star hotel, and I'm kind of like I haven't stayed in a hotel since. But I just feel like I will be comparing every hotel to that experience, because it was a great experience.
Speaker 1:And you see what I'm saying the value tier. And then motherfucker wanna stay in a five star.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I mean, I wasn't going on like a trip where I was not gonna be in the hotel, it was a staycation. So the primary point of being in the hotel was or booking that hotel, was to spend time in the hotel, and I'm sure that they're aware of that, the people who built the hotel are aware of that, which is why they make the hotel experience one that you don't wanna leave.
Speaker 1:I just feel like they had, they're all gone. Cause I was talking about the hotel experience. Yeah, I was gonna say they had excuse me like multiple restaurants on the main floor.
Speaker 2:They called you, mrs when you checked in. They asked you what you were there for. They had somebody playing the harp. The harp, they had a spa it was a lot of stuff a pool, a lot of stuff and they were like also playing the harp, a pool, a lot of stuff. And there were also people there who were there for staycations and one of the people I met in the hotel was saying like these are the different hotels you need to go to if you're looking to do like Chicago staycations.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I have a good recommendation. It's a really nice one.
Speaker 2:Great, do you wanna say?
Speaker 1:it, or should we? I've said it to you already. Oh, okay, I was gonna say the bed and breakfast one.
Speaker 2:Oh, yes, you did, you did, you did.
Speaker 1:That one's really nice.
Speaker 2:I was gonna ask if you would like to move on to Get On Intellectual.
Speaker 1:Yes, I would like to move on.
Speaker 2:Go ahead, get On Intellectual question for today. I don't even have to think about it because it just happened on Monday. And this Get On Intellectual question is more so for the listeners because Daisy and I already disagree on this and I told him I was gonna make this a Get On Intellectual. So I need y'all to sound off and I need you to be quiet, laughing, move away from the mic so they can hear me ask the question, because I feel like you're trying to cloud up the sound.
Speaker 1:You just all went today. That's it. I'm really not.
Speaker 2:Because this happened on Monday. So I said I was gonna ask on the next time we were recording. You just all went there. Just move from the mic, because I don't want you laughing. I want them to be able to hear me so they can fully answer.
Speaker 1:Go ask the question, y'all.
Speaker 2:And you're yelling. The question is this I'm not yelling.
Speaker 2:If you and someone go out for coffee, if you and somebody go out for lattes like oh yeah, let's go get a latte together, and you're like I'll pay for it, my treat and y'all get to the Dunkin Donuts and they decide to order the latte, but then they start putting other shit on the tab. The ghetto intellectual question is this Are you just going to pay for the lattes or are you including all the extra things that they added to the bill? And do you think that them adding extra things to the bill is them taking advantage of the fact that they don't have to pay for it? Get on to the actual question Now. You can give your response, but really I just want the audience to sound off on this one, because I personally feel like I was getting taken advantage of because it was my wallet. Make it quick too.
Speaker 1:I'm going to give you good as full context. Don't rush me.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying we've been here for an hour already, Don't rush me.
Speaker 1:Full context Every Monday, me and Yemi go to the gym. We box in the morning, we go to the gym and then we get a smoothie. The first time I paid, or did you pay? I paid, she paid, I didn't get none, I got my smoothie.
Speaker 2:No, you still got a sandwich.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't. I did that the second time.
Speaker 2:No, you didn't.
Speaker 1:Oh, I did do that the first time. I did that the first time. So, me and Yemi, every Monday for about the last month, we go, we work out, we get our smoothies. I get my little green smoothie, do a little one, two with it, and then I get myself a little breakfast sandwich Not even a breakfast sandwich, a breakfast burrito, which is a bunch of protein. It may be like six bucks.
Speaker 2:It's not, it is. It's like $8. $9. It's $6.59. It's like $9. It's $6.59.
Speaker 1:OK, Maybe after a tax it come out to $9.
Speaker 2:Go off.
Speaker 1:But anyways, I do that. And Yemi over here, deji, I don't want you buying that, that's too much. Or if you buy it, just put it on your tab and, like I said, it's so interesting when the younger sibling got to pay for stuff.
Speaker 2:Here you go.
Speaker 1:And everything is up for debate, every line item. I don't feel like I should pay for this. You doing too much.
Speaker 2:Because the smoothie is already $9. And you want to add.
Speaker 1:Don't buy a smoothie then.
Speaker 2:Don't buy a smoothie. I don't have no problem buying one.
Speaker 1:No, I will go right here. It's as simple as you ask somebody to dinner, they order an appetizer and you don't like.
Speaker 2:You share it, but I'm not drinking, I'm not eating. If you order an appetizer for this, no.
Speaker 1:Yemi.
Speaker 2:You can't pick and choose. If you go pay, you go pay. This is a great intellectual Getto intellectual.
Speaker 1:I can't wait to hear this response. I've been a part of both right. Because if you really take this another step further. I was on a date one time with a shorty I was. You know we was doing what we were doing. Shorty ordered five drinks to my one. So what am I supposed to say? Like she fun to foot that my point is.
Speaker 2:But I mean that's a date DG, we're not going out on dates.
Speaker 1:We are going out on dates. We're just not romantic. Don't do that, Yemi. I don't think they're dates.
Speaker 2:It's just we went to the gym. I mean, of course, gyms can be date, like you can go on a gym date, but I'm literally just. The whole point is, if we going out for smoothies and I said lattes to make it general for people if we're going out for smoothies and we're getting smoothies and I'm only getting a smoothie, and then you want to get a smoothie with four different add-ons, and then you want to get a breakfast burrito, do that on your when it's your turn to pay.
Speaker 2:First of all, I don't do that when it's my turn to pay, because when it's my turn, to pay when it's you and it's me and I'm just ordering, I don't do all that, I just get my smoothie. That's $8, and I keep it pushing.
Speaker 1:And just to prove my point, I ordered the same thing and I even ordered me another breakfast burrito when I paid. So the thing is, you ever try to act like I'm taking an advantage of her when I'm not.
Speaker 2:Surely you just don't be like I just don't feel like I should have to pay for your drink and your If I'm getting something to eat as well, for sure we can both get our wraps and we can both get our smoothies. But if I'm opening my purse to pay for a meal for you-.
Speaker 1:I don't think I have to deal with loud ass music every fucking Friday when Yemi wanna start practicing her DJ sets. But guess what I do? I just dug it out because we live in a house but Yemi wanna act like every space is hers. She come and do it.
Speaker 2:I'm sure you're not talking about me.
Speaker 1:I am talking about you. I'm sure you can't be. I am talking about you. Who else am I gonna talk about? Who practices every Friday at about seven, at six, five, thirty five o'clock Work?
Speaker 2:day is over.
Speaker 1:Yeah, practice your DJ set, do a little, one, two, so you can get a mix for the TikTok, for your social medias and because you like to practice. And then the whole house be loud as hell. And then I'm over here in the other room watching Netflix or something, trying to wind down because you know it's Friday, my day is slowly winding down and I have to be like, hey, yemi, put the music down, I gotta meet it or hey, yemi, I'm trying to work or I'm trying to watch something.
Speaker 1:I deal with that. I deal with that.
Speaker 2:Me.
Speaker 1:I so what the hell? What is yours? I don't feel like I have to pay for that.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying don't.
Speaker 1:I don't think you should be putting that on my top.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying don't get the smoothie.
Speaker 1:I'm not eating the smoothie.
Speaker 2:I will for sure pay for the smoothie, but I feel like you getting extra stuff is playing with my pockets, so please let me know what y'all think.
Speaker 1:If anything I helped them pockets, please let me know I helped you grow them pockets.
Speaker 2:It seems very manipulative for you to say that. Oh, so now it's manipulative. No, I just oh, my God.
Speaker 1:I can't, I can't win. Today y'all You're watching an episode or you're listening to an episode where Yemi is.
Speaker 2:I just feel like this is me.
Speaker 1:This is Yemi being a hater on Diction.
Speaker 2:I'm not being a hater, I just feel like, why do you feel like? Why do you feel like me talking about me? Spending money is an innate reason for you to be like you wouldn't have that if it wasn't for me, type shit.
Speaker 1:It's like and I can say why do you think every time you have to spend money on me it's a hassle? I don't think it's a hassle.
Speaker 2:So you just did no, no, no, I'm not saying it's a hassle, you're saying it's a hassle.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying you taking advantage because and nobody taking advantage of you, Shorty it may and honestly, Over a $7. Let's overanalyze this Over a $7. Hold on, hold on, let's overanalyze this.
Speaker 2:Let's overanalyze this. What if, in a way, you feel like it's OK for you to add things to the bill because you feel like you are the reason why I have the money that I have? Now Talk about that with your therapist and see what they have to say.
Speaker 1:Because I would say, first of all, you're making a leap because you know you are, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying that, I just thought about it right now. I never thought about that until we talked about this, yeah that's fine.
Speaker 1:You can make that connection yourself. But I'm telling you you're making a leap because I make a lot of considerations for you. So for you to even make that statement is very emotionally immature of you.
Speaker 2:Name. The last time you made a consideration for me, I asked you to clean out the tub from your hair, from the shower, this whole entire process.
Speaker 1:The only reason why I have not accelerated to what we're doing is because I've been thinking that your ass is probably going to be where I'm going to be. You wanted to take the whole motherfucker up, you wanted to regulate me to the dungeon and you wanted to have the palace.
Speaker 2:Rough, rough, like a dungeon yeah so think about that.
Speaker 1:Why are you talking all that shit?
Speaker 2:Let's move forward. Yeah, that's right, because now you know I'm right. No, I know I'm right.
Speaker 1:I don't think you're right. I don't think you're right. I don't think you're right. You know that, you do, I know. Ok, I know, that's the topic for a different day. But like I'm saying, you like to have this amnesia Like I like it.
Speaker 2:You like your own ass, but it's just, I don't want to keep talking about it because you keep interrupting me. Oh, oh, I keep interrupting you and then you talk over me. I keep interrupting you, but that may be something to talk about for real?
Speaker 1:No, it's not, because it's not.
Speaker 2:And I'm being so sincere I'm not even trying to say that, but you're wrong and also you're being very insensitive, because now you're trying to tell me what I'm perceiving. No, no, no, I'm not even thinking that it may be unbeknownst to you.
Speaker 1:It's not unbeknownst to me.
Speaker 2:No, it's not Mark me.
Speaker 1:I'm not mocking you. It's not because you're saying stuff and I'm telling you no, I know what I feel. I know I did it. I was hungry, I'd be working out, but I'd be you be doing the same thing as me and you'd be like, yeah, you'd be like why do you do this, daisy? Yes, I push myself to the extremes. So if I want a motherfucking breakfast sandwich, or burrito.
Speaker 2:One, no problem, but get it on your own bill. And that's the ghetto intellectual question. You're not. You're wrong. Should you be adding stuff to the bill just because you know you're not paying for it? Thank you so much for listening. I really want you to sign off on that because I think we're both. We both make great points for our argument, but it's good to have someone who's outside of the conversation sounding off. I'm outside with me, whatever, and I'm OK with that, but I think that there may be, out of every three people that side with you, there may be one or two that side with me and me and them two people go right to the wheels fall off. So thank you so much for listening to today's podcast. I hope you really enjoyed it.
