But hey, it is what it is.

And of course, with me is my cousin AG.

What's happening, y'?

All?

How you doing?

And the man with a plan, the guy who tells it like it is all the time, my boy Mo B.

What's going on?

I got a little different camera shot this time.

Coming from the top.

I see it.

Nice, nice.

How's everybody doing?

How's everybody's weekend?

Good.

Good and different.

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

About you, Moby, you good?

Oh, Moby.

Oh, yeah, I'm good.

I'm just trying to adjust my camera.

It's all good.

It's all good.

So, man, I mean, it was crazy week.

We'll get into a couple brief things and then we'll get into the highlight of our show.

So, AG man, first of all, we had this thing called the NCAA winners tournament this weekend.

Pretty good.

Yep.

I did not watch the game today, but shout out to ucla, congratulations on their first women's title ever in school history.

But let's just be real.

The championship was on Friday when, well, at least for South Carolina was on because they did the work on UConn.

But that's not what we had to talk about, bro.

Is it me or did Gino Oriyama was the absolute typical old dude after.

After the game was over because his team got the ass kicked.

Well, let's call it what it is.

He was A typical old white guy that got beat by atypical in a good way black woman.

Let's call it what it is.

Yeah.

If you're going to say, call it what it is, say everything.

Yep.

So I mean like, and I'm.

I'm gonna be that guy.

And as much as I appreciate the apology, bro, it was an apology that.

Wasn't he ready, whatever the hell.

Yukon prepared a statement on his behalf that they said was from him.

They said recruits were backing out.

So UConn prepared a statement on his behalf.

Well, I mean, remember after the press.

Conference, Gino said he had nothing to apolog, fool.

Yeah, he was strict white old white dude on that.

I mean, crazy.

It's the problem.

He was angry.

He was angry about stuff that never even happened.

It's the problem when, when, you know, so many people are okay with white people being accomplices.

I mean, being, being allies.

Yeah.

Gino used to come off as an ally.

And this is what happens with allies when shit gets tough.

You know, he turned into the old white man that was bitter.

He sure did.

And on top of that, man, like,.

Honestly, he turned into a.

And it's not the.

He's done that.

That's really.

I was about to say before the, before the press conference even happened.

Like before the whole third quarter thing happened.

Like, I was talk.

We were watching the game and I was talking to my wife and I was like, I don't really like Gino.

I don't like his get down because every time shit goes bad, he's like this.

And I'm like, yo, this is no shade to him because he had to be a good coach to have it happen.

But there was about a 25 year run in which all he had to do was roll the ball out there.

He used to have all, like, all the talent went to one or two, Tennessee or UConn.

Yep.

And now that the, the playing field has spread out a little bit more, it seems like he's been struggling.

And I'm not saying he's not a good coach.

I'm just saying, you know, it ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun.

Nice.

I can always count on you, sir.

I can always count on you.

But, but here's the thing, man.

Like so one, yes, he is definitely typical old white guy because he got his ass kicked.

Guys ask it, but I'm taking from a different angle.

Right.

Was he wrong?

Hell yeah, he was wrong.

But you know who I'm going to throw some blame at?

That nobody really has.

And it's probably foul, but I'm going to do it anyway.

Yo, man, how about the fucking Big East Conference, bro?

Like, they basically sleepwalk through the conference play and see his.

And the reason why I say that is because then you have Dan Hurley talking in the men's side was like, yo, man, Biggie's play is so tough.

By the time we get into the NCAA Tournament, we're looking at teams who don't play the season, the.

The type of game we play, right?

And they're just like, I love.

He was like, I love being in a tournament because when we play in the Big East, I mean, shit, we.

It's a.

It's a.

You never know.

St. John's now creeping up and deciding to do some work, you know, and stuff like that.

So I'm going to blame the conference because I feel like they adequately did not have not prepared UConn for this.

Can I ask you a question, though?

What conference could have prepared them for this?

Well, hold on for a second.

I'm about to tell you, because as I'm watching, makes sense.

The SEC is physical, at least in women's basketball and men.

Y. Yeah, but not liking women's basketball, women's basketball, super physical.

I mean, Texas won the shit.

The tournament, right?

South Carolina won the regular season championship.

But see, the SEC is super physical, is super tough.

And basically what happened was, I mean, what you ran into, what they ran into Friday was a whole bunch of sec, tough physical play.

Because when they played South Carolina before It was in UConn, it was.

It was in.

In Connecticut.

And so you're not gonna necessarily get the calls, the physical calls that you're gonna get.

And I mean, they pissed off Sarah Strong so much, she ripped her own damn jersey.

Like, I mean, yeah, she's getting physically hit.

She's not used to that shit.

And then there's.

They're used to being up so far ahead that never.

That never comes into play.

So they couldn't shoot the physical.

Just Yukon track came out being physical and was just like, what?

This ain't nothing.

And that's why I think they messed up.

They did not play their game.

They tried to play South Carolina's game, and South Carolina was like, oh, we here for that.

Let's go.

And it was down here from there.

But I'm getting a side eye from Mo B.

So it sounds like he seems like he has something to disagree with me on.

It's not about disagreeing.

I just love how we always play the whole revisionist history game.

Truth of the matter is they run like, what, 54 games in a row?

And they weren't playing all cupcakes.

Like, they just happened to play.

They just had one of their worst shooting days at the worst possible time against a team that was going to be pressuring you.

And here's the thing.

They play you.

South Carolina played the same type of game against them that they played against UCLA today.

The difference is UCLA was making shots.

Correct.

Like, and I'm not gonna say a lot.

A lot of.

And a lot of what we're talking about is UConn played a really bad game.

Now, you're right.

South Carolina, the SEC has multiple teams that play super physical.

Like, it's just a style of play.

And, yeah, I wouldn't say the Big east does them a disservice by not preparing them.

I would say if you drop Yukon in most conferences, they're going to run through it.

Except maybe the sec, and we're talking about three other teams in the sec.

They pretty much would roll through everybody else, too.

Well, I mean, as much that I agree with you definitely on that, I guess the other thing is, like.

I mean, and I'm.

I'll say it like, yo, man, did they have a close game in the Biggies?

No, they didn'.

They.

They only had.

No, no, they did not.

In the Big East, I think it.

Was out of conference game.

Michigan was the only team that they beat by single digits.

But once again, like, you're blaming them or blaming the conference.

You're.

You're blaming other people because the other people hadn't been good enough to push them.

What do you want them to do?

Because they didn't play a cupcake schedule like, they.

They played the Michigan.

They played quality opponents in other conferences.

They just happened to be of him.

And like, as much.

As much as I'd love to just on Gino right now, I can't on the team and just be like, I can't pretend that 54 wins in a row didn't happen.

No, no, no, I.

No, I agree with you.

I guess more what I'm saying is, like, their schedule's the same every year.

They play Tennessee now they play South Carolina.

You know, they play like.

I get it.

Right.

Basically, you just said they play all the traditional power teams.

Well, they're traditional.

Well, Michigan, I mean, I don't know if Michigan's a power female basketball team.

I mean, they're.

Okay.

I'm not gonna sit here and say they're like top 10, but I'm gonna.

What I am gonna say is, I mean, they didn't play ucla.

They didn't play Texas.

You can't play everybody.

All I'm.

But all I'm saying is you're just nitpicking right now.

You basically look, this ain't.

This ain't Seth Green.

This.

This ain't Virginia Tech days where they played, like, the cupcake schedule of all cupcake schedules.

Like, they play quality people.

They just played a couple quality people.

Yes.

How many out of conference games do you think they get, dog?

Like, I'm just.

How many other conference games do you think you get?

Very, very.

I'm just saying, you know, it's almost like the Roy Jones Jr. Line, man.

It's not that they ain't play nobody.

They just made everybody look like nobo.

That's true.

Because Roy Jones G did people up, and it didn't look like he played anybody, but he fought anybody, but he ended up fighting a lot of people.

He just made him look bad.

I mean, because, like, the same.

The same thing that you're gonna say about, like, UConn and what exposed them, I was saying before this national championship game.

I said it in the Final Four game when they were playing UConn.

I was like, this is not the best South Carolina.

You know why?

It's not the best South Carolina team.

The best South Carolina team I saw happened a couple years ago when they had pow.

Pow.

You know why?

Because she could shoot.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And South Carolina never has anybody that can shoot.

They got a whole bunch of great athletes.

They play great defense, but if you.

Oh, you didn't watch the game.

But the game today, UCLA basically just said, hey, y' all can shoot them jumpers.

We gonna just.

All of us.

All five of us are gonna stand in the paint and we're gonna.

You know what?

We know none of y' all motherfuckers.

And poor Tessa was out there just playing by herself.

She's the only one who can shoot.

Well, she's not a great shooter, but, I mean, she's the one that can create a shot.

Yeah.

And here's the thing.

And this is not an indictment on them.

Like, because my wife was like, hey, why don't they have shooters?

It seems like they would be able to recruit shooters.

And I'm like, a lot of shooters don't necessarily want to go play for dawn in the way that she wants to Play.

And I was like.

Because it takes a lot of energy on defense to play the way she wants to play.

Yeah.

And you can't play with all that energy and then have legs to shoot.

Like, a lot of shooters are like, hey, man, I'm good on it.

Like, we talk about Steph Curry and how much running around he does on offense.

We don't never talk about him doing a lot of running on defense because it's.

At some point in time, it's like, hey, buddy, I gotta be.

I can't be running all the time.

I mean, Steph didn't get drafted for his defensive prowess.

Well, that's.

That's what I'm saying.

But, yeah, South Carolina was really, really dangerous when Pow Pow transferred there and played the year when they won the championship, because it was like, if you just got one of them.

If you just got one person out there that you're just like, oh, shit, we can't leave her alone because we know she can shoot.

It opens everything up.

Basically, UCLA was just like, y' all can take any jumper you want.

You, you, you, you.

And you can shoot all the jumpers you want because you know, we don't can make them.

And today they didn't.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, look, look, if.

If South Carolina would have had their best shooting performance today, they probably would have blew UCLA out.

Because you.

They.

They got all types of open looks.

They did blow a lot of layups, too, but I should say blow a lot of layups.

But, I mean, you say LA is kind of big, so you are shooting layups over a 6 foot 7 giant and another 6 foot 4.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I got to push back on you.

They missed a lot of open layups, too.

They did.

They didn't miss open labs.

Did miss some contested ones, too.

And once they start missing a few.

Once they started missing a few, it was over with.

Yeah.

So I do wanna.

This is why, like, I do.

You know, I'm gonna say my bad, because Moby.

Moby be right.

So I'm gonna give him the man his flowers.

The closest game that UConn had all year was Michigan by three points.

Everybody else was a blowout.

And as far as who they.

The first game of the season, they won by 13.

That was against Louisville.

Then there's the Florida State.

I mean, Ohio State, Utah, USC was ranked when they played and beat the shit out of them.

Iowa, they beat the shit out of them.

They played a Biggie schedule.

They did play Tennessee.

You're saying all the names of the women's schools that are typically good.

So, like, what I'm saying is they didn't play a soft schedule, but I.

Was also incorrect because I thought they played South Carolina.

They did not.

No, they didn't.

So.

But yeah, the toughest team they played was Michigan.

So I will give you your props on that.

Like, but I will say, I mean, I think it's fair to make a statement that every year they sleepwalk through the biggies, turn the biggies regular season.

And so, you know, whether that is because the biggies can't get talent or they can't get the amount of talent,.

It's not about talent.

Like,.

I feel like.

I feel like you still talk about women's college basketball through the lens of men's college basketball.

There really is still that much of a disparity in talent.

You can't name but, like, 10 talent elite programs.

You can name other teams that every couple years will pop in there and be good.

But, like, traditionally, like, with women's college basketball, it's like 10 solid programs, and that's an expansion from, like, 20 years ago.

I probably would have said, like, three or four.

Like, now it is, like, it's still the talent.

Talent.

It ain't just a matter of, like, the ACC is going to be good, the SEC is going to be good.

It's like, no, every conference.

This is like, the first year the SEC had like, two or three teams that you were like, which one's going to win?

Because for a while it was South Carolina and LSU battling.

Everybody battling.

Yeah.

And it wasn't really LSU fight.

They just, like, played competitive games.

But really.

Yeah, they weren't really beating South Carolina.

They just were in games, made it sound or feel compelling, but it wasn't.

Yeah.

So most conferences are like, that.

Fair.

So I'll give you that.

I don't know.

I just.

I.

But in the grand scheme of things, I think the one thing we all agree with is REM was being a little white.

And.

And that's what it was.

Because I'd never really seen that from him, which was weird.

See, no, it's.

It's peaked.

It's.

It's peaked out a lot.

And.

But because he doesn't lose a lot, so it really peak out when they lose, which, look, I'm not saying anybody has to be a good sport losing, because there are a lot of people who don't lose.

Well, that's.

But it's.

It's the level of acidness that came out of him on that stage.

Because, you know, my wife pointed it out.

Like, we watched the Texas game as well.

Yeah.

And when Texas lost, they shook hands.

And moved it on.

No, not even that.

The senior.

Senior.

They took the senior out 10, 10 seconds before the game, and the coach is hugging her and talking to her, and they had a moment.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, yeah, they had a moment because, like, you know, this her last game, she's, like, winning.

Yeah.

The most winningest player there.

And you can see it just spill out of her where she felt, you know, it hit her all at once.

And he's talking to her, and he hugs her, and it's like, yo, that's the coach I want to play for.

Not that that walks off the court while we're out there.

Cr.

Yeah, that's that.

That was that straight.

Here's the thing.

The crazy thing is, like, when.

When Malky from LSU does outlandish wild, her players and former players still come to bat and defend her.

Have you heard one person defend Gino?

Nope.

That's an indictment right there.

Like, no.

Nobody coming to his aid, being like, hey, I know it was a bad moment, but that dude did this.

This.

Nobody has said that.

Everybod at that moment and was just so.

That means the people that played for him looked at him and was like, that place that fits.

That's.

That's.

That's the person I know he can be.

All those other great things, too.

But it's what it seems like is nobody's really surprised.

Nobody really came to the aid.

Like, everybody was just like, hey, that's a terrible move.

It's a bad look.

He should have never did.

Nobody is going, oh, man, that's just so out of character.

I don't know what could have happened.

Nobody said that.

Nobody wanted to down that hill.

That tells me all I need to know about that, man.

I mean.

And I. I would say, like, kitty, can we.

So the other part was, I don't know, for selective memory or he just didn't know.

I'm gonna give him the grace that he didn't know.

But still, I think you should know, kind of.

Somebody should have told you that Sarah Strong ripped her own damn jersey.

Not only that, he said.

He said, hey, somebody ripped her jersey.

That didn't happen.

He said, don didn't shake my hand before the game.

They have it on video.

I don't know if that's his Alzheimer's or what.

Like, I was like, you were there, motherfucker.

No, from the chick.

Look, man, at the end of the day, no matter how much good some of them do, Reuben, when shit hits the fan, they can become an old white Trumper, basically.

He's like, hey, don't believe what you saw.

Believe what I'm telling you.

I mean, I guess my thought is, because you saw Sarah Strong change her jersey, did you not ask why her jersey got ripped?

Here's the thing.

In the heat of the game, I could understand you not knowing that.

That press conference after.

Or that interview after the third quarter, stupid interview.

But I could understand.

Heated a moment, passionate.

You thought she got fouled, jersey ripped, blah, blah, blah.

Now, by the time you get to the post game press conference, somebody should have let you know.

Somebody should have let you know, which means the rest of your coaches don't with you either, because ain't nobody.

Ain't nobody try to help you, but ain't nobody coming like, hey, hey.

You know, she kind of did that on her own.

And then, yo.

And she didn't say, coach, I did that on my own.

And did you see the.

The tall black assistant coach he was, like, trying to protect.

Hey, Coach, get the.

Out the.

Like.

Because Coach was coming at Dawn Staley, and she was like, no, no, no.

I'm just like, you know, you listen to your own goddamn assistant coach who's trying to get you from.

I mean, what you going to do?

You gonna hit?

Don't state, like, what are we doing?

Like, I just didn't understand it.

It was.

It came out of absolute nowhere.

Like, I just kept.

I just kept feeling like, had the roles been reversed, acting like that don't stand.

I can't imagine the visceral hate that will be coming out about just black women in general and why they can't be leaders or in charge of anything.

And that's why Don Stanley carries herself in such a manner, because she understands that everything she does is looked under a microscope.

And when.

If she were to do something like that.

Oh, my God.

Like, it's crazy.

Like, for instance.

I mean, we about to get off this shit.

But I was really taken aback a little bit.

The UVA fired their women's coach, and she took them to the Sweet 16.

And they ain't been in Sweet 16 in, like, a decade.

First, the first team to come from a playing round to make it to the sweet 16.

I was like, what?

What are we out here doing?

I'm gonna tell you what they out here doing, Ruben, and I'm gonna be that race car guy.

They basically said, hey, it seems like this black lady has got the program in the right direction.

We'll take it from here.

We'll take it from here.

So I saw that and I was like, that's a straight up bullshit right there.

But, you know, hopefully, hopefully somebody good will pick her up and that sort of thing.

Ag, man, you've been super quiet this whole time.

I didn't have anything to say.

I was just listening because everything, you know, you guys are talking about, I don't have enough information to speak about any of it.

Except for the Gina Oriemma thing, because Pat Summitt's been telling us about this dude forever.

I was just about to say Pat Summitt despised that dude.

Yeah, she took the time before she started losing her memory to write this down in a memoir.

So it's on wax, it's on video.

I think Muffy.

I forgot her last name.

She coached Muffet McGraw.

Thank you, Notre Dame.

He acted the same way towards her.

And it was just like he has a legacy of distress respecting women coaches that beat him.

And oh, did you even see hear what he said?

Like, it like, I always, you know, she.

I don't really have much of a relationship with her outside.

I mean, she was one of my assistant coaches.

And you.

I'm like talking about Dawn Staler.

She was one of my assistant coaches on Team usa.

Like, why are you trying to down player?

Like she was one of your assistants.

She's a hall of fame player.

She's won a gold medal.

Like, what we talking about?

She's a hall of fame player in gold medal.

Like, sir, you've got the most outstanding women's college basketball resume as a coach.

Won't give you any, Won't throw any shade at that.

But don't act like her resume ain't elite.

I mean, in comparison.

I mean.

Cause like, yeah, you got 5 million championships, but amongst everybody else, she right there.

And you know, honestly, you know, a couple mishaps she could have.

There are a couple more.

I mean, you went to tell.

What about the final.

Final four, like six years in a row.

What are we talking about?

Like, yeah, but I will say, I will say some karma was interesting because yesterday on ESPN2, they were doing a tribute to Pat Summit, a live tribute to Pat Summit.

And I can only imagine, like, how crazy, like, because I didn't realize that she hated Gina.

Remember you didn't.

I honestly so bad.

I can see why people might think it was just like competitive.

Like, I didn't know the hate was like that.

But yeah, It's.

It sounds like she does it.

She.

She doesn't think very highly of him as a human being.

Yeah, so, like that part.

So, yeah, man.

I mean, it could have been one of those things where, you know, man, sometimes the past summer, karma comes on your ass and he realizes, boom, got your ass.

But, hey, man, shout out to ucla.

Congratulations.

Everybody say, we spent all this time to not talk about how impressive UCLA was winning the national championship.

Oh, they, they, they did that work, man.

They did that work.

And yeah, like.

And I gotta tell you, man, like, I felt it during the game and I'm glad to get game.

I'm glad the game didn't get as much heat because as I was watching the game, I was like, there is a large segment of America that is so rooting for UCLA right now just because they're like, they're like, that's what we want our girls to look like.

There's such a large segment that was like, that's what we want our girls to look like.

We don't.

We don't want what South Carolina does because aesthetically it could not look more.

More different.

You've got South Carolina out there who, nothing against them.

They just pure athletes.

And then you got ucla.

The girls that do the cheerleader dances with the cheerleaders, it's like, they're just like, this is, this is good old fashioned wholesomeness.

And I'm just like, man, I know there were some people that just were loving seeing South Carolina get beat, you know, Just like, this ain't right, man.

Kell, I'm really happy for UCLA because I became a Bets fan at the Final Four.

Oh, yeah, Bets is a beast.

See, it wasn't even about that because, like, she had the cutest post game interview.

And I say cute.

Not demeaning, but I say cute because it's like the joy that we feel like the nil.

And all this stuff takes away from college basketball.

Like, she gets interviewed right after the game.

She's super stoked, you know, her teammates behind her doing all the crowning stuff.

But she's locked in with the interview.

Totally locked in, being serious.

As soon as the.

As soon as the mic goes away, she turns around and her team's there.

And she just says, oh, my God, we're about to play in the national championship.

And they all just start screaming.

And I'm just like, yo, that was awesome.

Like that.

No matter how much people have said it's become transactional in business, I'm just like, I'm such A fan of that?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Just that pure joy.

And then when you think that those six girls play with each other for four, four years, six seniors, they scored almost all of their points in the national championship game.

And then Laura Bess's sister is there.

Yep.

So she's coming back next year.

Yeah, man.

It's, you know, my biggest question and it's the topic for never going to happen, but like, I don't understand how Lauren Betts is not the number one pick in the draft.

But whatever, that's just my thing.

People question her actual mobility and ability to switch because like you can play zone in college, can't professional.

So people are worried that, you know, people are going to try to involve her in a lot of pick and rolls.

Make that it's the Rudy Gobert effect.

Like Rudy Gobert is an excellent low pros defender.

But that's why every time teams play.

All right, let's get him out here on the wing and see if he can move laterally, which that's, that's going to be what she's going to have to really prove.

Okay, so I'm glad you're not talking about the, the, the men's college basketball side, cuz I ain't watch.

I don't know about the men's side, which I sound like I'm locked in on this women's side.

I'm like, you talk about the men, I'm just like, hey, I mean, Michigan playing.

All you need to know is Yukon versus Michigan.

Michigan is that.

Is that team.

And UConn seemingly just can't be beat in the tournament.

So wouldn't this be three and four years for them?

Yep.

Like low, low key.

Is UConn the best men's college basketball program of like the last 40 years?

Yes.

And the thing about it is they got one, they got one dude there on that team who is the most winningest college player in the NCAA tournament.

He will be the first person to win three championships ever in the NCAA tournament.

Huh?

Who's that?

Because his last name begins with a K?

Like he was a starter.

He's a starter.

Huh?

Is it white Braylon so foul.

Probably.

I'm just, I'm just saying, like you, you ever seen a white guy named Br.

I felt like somebody like Braylon is a very defining characteristic.

Right there is Alex something.

Is Alex something.

I'm sorry, I can't remember his name right now, but yeah, he will have won three championships in four years.

He will be the first player ever to do so if UConn wins tomorrow, however.

Michigan's a goddamn beast, man.

Oh, my God.

I mean, my wife asked me who do I think was going to win, and I was like, I think Michigan's going to better team.

I still feel like Yukon's gonna win just because it seems like that's just what they do.

Like, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan blows him out, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Yukon wins because it's kind of like low key.

Hurley is like slowly etching out a resume to get close to starting to be able to call himself like a Mount Rushmore men's college basketball coach.

And he ain't really been in the game that long.

I mean, he's worked his way up, but I mean, he got a hell of a resume really quick.

I think UConn is one of the last big blood blue bloods or big teams that still recruit players to be there longer than 2 or 3 ish.

But who knows the other programs that do it, it's just hard.

I'm not saying one of the big ones.

I'm saying you can, you can plan to do that.

It don't mean your players are going to stay.

Yeah, yeah.

I bet a lot of coaches, you know, plan or hope that players are going to stay.

I think there's some coaches who don't take us one year.

All right, Come on.

But that's neither here nor there.

But nah, man.

UConn.

UConn's a wagon and Michigan is a.

Is a damn Clydesdale crew.

They got a dude hurt from Michigan.

The dude played on a partial McNamara there and went 3, 4 for 3 point land in the second half.

Partial MCL.

Yeah.

I have no idea who's gonna win.

It's probably gonna be good, though.

I'd watch it.

I mean, I probably will watch some of it, so is what it is.

But let's talk about what we had to talk about today.

Now.

We.

We.

I think it's a fair statement that for the most, most part men have.

We've talked about this before how men have been simps, at least at the beginning of their lives and things as such.

They don't really know what the to do.

And they, you know, they say women are smarter than men and all that.

And for the most part, you know, I also feel like a statement that might be worth saying that some men actually are hitting sometimes outside of their comfort zone and they run into a young lady or a woman runs into a young man who has the ability to basically make themselves.

And so the question of the day is very simple.

How do you know that you're getting played, slash used, slash taken advantage of, you know, And I think this is a fair thing.

What's going on, Melanie Fuzz.

That's.

How you doing?

I. I think it is one of those things where we can equate it to both.

To both men and women, because, I mean, yeah, there's some.

There's some men out here who are sex.

But, Joe, there are some women who allow themselves to be taken advantage of as well.

And so, you know, I think it's fair to talk about this on an equal footing because, yes, you have.

You have those women who makes dude buy everything and do everything, and he gets little to nothing other than the joy of making her happy.

And there are some women who are ride or die for.

Sorry, Who.

Hey, man.

They're just happy to be with this dude, even though he out there doing what he wants to do and slamming other chicks and all that other stuff.

So, I mean, that's.

That's one way to put it.

I think they just.

On their journey to change someone.

I could change them.

I mean, hey.

I mean, women fixes people, women fix men, and dudes have captive saber hoes.

So, like, once again, I think we're.

I think the situation where they both kind of come together, and I think you're right.

You saying you're saying the same thing.

Yeah.

And I think, honestly, a lot of these traits probably occur on both sides of the.

Of the aisle.

So I think ag.

So give me.

Give me a thing that.

That to.

To make you okay, man.

If, you know, they say simping ain't easy, but apparently sometimes it is, you know?

So, like, how do you know as a guy like, you being sent.

You being sent to some woman, whether it's your girl or who you think is your girl or whatever, first thing.

That comes to mind is sex.

Lack of.

Well, yeah, that's the first thing.

But sometimes a woman can give you some, and then you have.

You've gotten that taste, and you want to taste that again, that sweet nectar.

And then after that, she doesn't give you anything.

That's bullshit.

But she still wants something, something from you now and then to keep you on the line.

She will.

She will.

She'll give you.

She'll give you a notion in your mind that you about to get some, but you're really not.

And she knows that.

But because you have that, she's put that.

She's planted that seed in your head that you're gonna get some, then you perform.

Even you perform at a higher level based on what she wants.

First one's free, baby.

All dealers know you.

First one's free.

You know what I'm saying?

Because now they're gonna be chasing that high forever.

Strawberry.

Strawberry.

So high forever.

So for the, for the sex part, that's kind of where.

The way it is.

And I don't really agree with your assessment, I think at the beginning of all this, because when a man is a simp, we're.

We're simps and it's our own fault.

When women get used, it's usually a man's fault.

They don't really have the.

We don't really have the right.

They don't really have to carry the full weight of being an idiot.

Well, and, and that's.

And I understand that.

However, in the.

I mean, if we remove like that part, you can't.

It's still the same.

I hear what you're saying, but you can't because you're letting them off easy.

I'm.

I'mma agree with ag on that.

You can't.

Can't remove it like, because if, if someone hurts, if someone uses Moby's daughters, he's not going to look at her and go, you're an idiot.

What are you doing?

He is going to be pissed if he sees his kid in the street.

I don't know about Moby.

No, no, no, no.

I mean, I'm telling you, two things.

Can be true at the same time.

I'm gonna be pissed and I might think it, you're an idiot.

But I won't say it because I love him, man.

I, I actually, I actually don't know.

Now I understand why you would feel that way because we all know you.

As far as that goes, we all know you.

My first reaction is going to be.

Mad, but see, that's my whole point.

He should reaction.

No, see, and that's my point.

That's my whole point.

We talked about this.

That's why can't be the same.

Talked about this last week.

Men, emotionally, in a way in which, unlike women, we are looking for approval from women.

I know I do.

For my, my woman and you know, I don't have any problems there.

She wants to give it to me.

That's not an issue.

What I'm saying to you is I still chase her approval.

Everything I do, I am looking for the attaboy from her.

That approval from her, that is a very strong emotion.

So it's like women, women it's, it's the same thing, but it's, it's cataloged differently.

They don't have to take the full weight of being blinded by, you know, the sex or how much they like someone or love someone or the, you know, I don't even know what it is when you just want to chase something.

You just into it.

Nothing else matters.

They don't have to carry the full, full weight of their flaws in this whole thing.

So for me, when you say what you said, you're letting them off for easy already.

I don't even want to participate in this because it's like, no, that's not what's going on here.

But honestly, when somebody, whether it's sex or being treated nice, that's the second thing women do.

It's like if somebody starts holding basic human rights, respect and reciprocation hostage based on how you perform and what you can give them, well, you already know you're being used.

Because what I found in life is that people that are genuine, they're either, they're there's either a high level of reciprocity or their love, affection and respect is free.

It's free because they're willing and able to give it to you.

The women and people and men that you're talking about, that's not the case at all.

Especially from, you know, from, you know, women, they live in a place where they can withhold already for whatever reasons.

So they use sex as a weapon.

They use kindness as a weapon.

They use being respectful as a weapon.

Yet you have to perform at a really high level to maybe get respected, to maybe get, you know, some sex, to maybe get being treated nicely.

So women have a special thing going on.

They already, they already have a superpower that says I can withhold from you as a weapon, and it's your job to put up with me and stay.

That's already a basic thing.

So, so when it gets to be really extra, that's when you really know that you're being used.

So.

Because they getting something for nothing all the time.

And if you really, like I told you last week, if you really want to know how somebody is, write it down on a piece of paper who they are and then ask yourself, are you going to sign up for this?

And this is coming from a guy who has been used plenty of times.

You already know.

Every time I hear from you, it's like you're asking me for something.

But when I ask you for something, you're not available.

You don't change for Me, I change for you.

I'm always conforming.

I'm always putting up with this or that or the other.

It's ridiculous.

You don't get anything out of the deal.

So, like, I hear you, and I. I agree with you.

But you're saying that men, Some men don't do the same thing to women.

I'm not saying that at all.

I'm saying that women don't.

They have special.

They have special powers.

And as a dude, it's hard for a dude to.

To manipulate and use a woman because women can do things because they can.

And then if they find out how to weaponize it, it's like, man, it's all bets are off at that point.

You have to be somebody, really.

As a dud, I really do feel like you have to be someone really special because, like, just take a pimp, for instance.

It takes a really special person to be a pimp.

It just does.

Yeah, but.

But everything that you said, Ag, I would say that there's some dudes who do the same thing to women.

I'm not.

I'm not quite.

What I'm saying to you is not.

I'm not saying that men can't.

I'm telling you that women have an added advantage to do it in a way in which is much more acceptable and successful in society.

Ag, I'mma try to.

I'mma try to let.

Get Reuben to understand this.

Reuben, I hear what you're saying.

I understand.

I understand.

No, no, I understand the logic you're trying to apply to it.

But here's the thing.

What ag is saying is all women can do takes a special dude to be able to pull it off.

That's the difference.

Because you're right.

Absolutely.

There's some guys that get away with it, and you go, damn, how are you getting away with this?

But almost every.

No, no, I'm gonna venture off and say every single woman in your life has done this to some guy.

And maybe not the example that ages, but every single woman has played her advantages to get some guy to do something that she wanted or needed in that moment, and she planned on reciproc in no way.

Every woman, okay?

Your friend, your cousin, your mama, everybody.

Every woman has done it.

It's.

It's just.

They've done it.

So.

So basically, it's just something.

They make a habit of doing it.

I'm not saying that's characteristic.

I'm just saying at some point in time, they.

They knew a guy like them and they was hungry.

Or they knew A guy that liked them and they noticed that their tire was flat.

It's like, I'm just.

Here's.

Here's the thing.

I'm not mad at them.

I'm not.

I'm just pointing out it happens like so.

And.

And I understand that.

Like, I'm not sitting here like.

No, no, no.

I complain.

Understand it.

You know, I. I just think that is also important to.

To sit here and say equally that, man, we ain't.

Look, bro, there.

There's a.

There's no equal.

That's right.

So don't say it so like that.

A women support groups where they basically just talk about how ain't so in this moment right now, it's okay for us to just be uneven on this one topic.

It is not okay for Reuben, though.

That's what you're missing.

No, it's not okay for Reuben.

He can't.

No.

There's no way in the world he going to do that.

Well, no, no.

See, first of all, okay, it's not even.

It's not about me and it being even.

It really isn't.

You know, I know logically.

Logically, you correct, though.

Logically correct.

It.

It does go both ways.

But just like AG said, it's looked at entirely different.

It is.

Well, I mean, definitely in society, you know, it is looked at very differently.

I mean, you know, I. I think that.

Yeah.

You know, because I. I would definitely agree that there have probably been more men simps than women.

I guess what the term.

I don't know what the term would be for women to be.

Who.

Who would be taking advantage of like that.

The idea.

The idea that you don't have a term like on hand that lets you know.

I was just thinking that.

I was just.

Yeah, it's like when Moby says name 10 teams and whatever, whatever.

And you can't.

And he's like, exactly.

Well, I would say a term that'.

I would say a term that's not.

That doesn't make women look too bad.

No, just doesn't.

Yeah, just doesn't.

I don't know.

I mean, because like, man, I've been.

Doing this show with you for too long.

I know what you're doing and what I'm saying.

Some sugar mamas out there.

Yeah, there's some sugar mamas out there.

There's some.

There's some cougars that engage in that behavior.

There's some codependency happening.

Yeah,.

Even those terms seem so much nicer.

Because they are.

Stop it.

Reuben doesn't want to come off the way he gonna come off if you say the exact truth.

And he and you have a history of doing that.

And that's fine.

What I'm telling you is it's not the same when you start talking about disparaging people and disrespecting people and hurting people.

You, you and you can't.

They're, they're, they're different.

They're just different.

I mean, you can't separate it.

And I understand that you're trying to, and I appreciate that.

But what I'm telling you is it's an uneven playing field.

This is one of those double standards that's gonna work in a woman's, in a woman's behalf every time.

And we as men are gonna take a back seat to it almost every time.

Like I said before.

Well, I didn't get a chance to say it.

What I'm saying to you is like, for you in particular, when I'm talking to you in particular, your personality, based on what I know, you couldn't be a pimp.

There's no way in the world you could be a pimp.

For most men.

Now I'm talking in general.

For most men, they might have the skill in the eye, but they couldn't go through with being a pimp.

There's a certain person that, that you have to be to be a pimp.

So do you feel like is if there's a number, like, are you saying that it's probably like 65 of men couldn't do.

Is it aren't built for that type of situation?

No.

Would that be a fair assessment?

I must say it's, it's at least 85.

Like 85 don't have the ability.

10 Out of that 15 don't have the follow through.

4 Out of that remaining 5% don't have the commitment to being an.

Like that.

And then you have that elite 1% that can put it all together.

I don't understand how.

I know many of them.

And then, but see, now, now I go back to the, the labels that you couldn't think of, except for you said cougar.

And what else.

What else did you say?

I didn't say cougar.

Sugar mama.

Oh, sugar mama.

Both of those things carry a lot of power.

There's nothing about those things that are an associate or that come from a place of weakness or in some way is not an alpha type of ownership title.

Right.

Because if you're a cougar, you're hunting.

If you're a sugar mama, you hurt.

Own the game, I think we would determine, I think I did say it earlier, the terminology that we would really use to our friends who are in that situation, we would call them Captain Saber Hoes.

Like, because we would feel like, hey, you're trying to like, what it say he's trying to change a hoe to a housewife.

Like, and how weak is that?

How weak is that?

That is incredibly.

I mean, hey, I'm just saying.

So you calling the guys in that scenario as hoes?

I think the guys are saving the hoes or trying to change the hoes.

The hoes already run a game on a dude like that.

So we're not saving anybody.

They let us think that we're saving them.

And that's where it goes back to everything I started saying.

Women in this particular, in this particular conversation have the upper hand in every way.

Even when they lose and they're the ones being used, we will never label them at the idiots like they label us.

It just is not going to happen.

We are always.

And as men, ironically enough, as men, we are going to try to defend this woman.

Just like his first reaction if his daughters were hurt, like that would beat.

Him to get mad.

It's so weird, right?

Because like, like for me, and I can only speak for myself, like in the times that I have been around people who have.

That has happened to.

I mean I, I am, you know, I think Moby would call it victim blaming.

That I would do.

But in the all reality, I'm calling it what it is.

But, but I think what happens is, you know, I'm considered to be blaming the victim when I'm just like, why'd you fall for that stupid.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

And I'm talking about whether it's a male or female and you know, you know, half is like, come on man, like what are we doing?

Like that sort of thing.

So, I mean, I don't know.

I'm just, I guess for me I can definitely say you're right.

I, I have my own things.

But in society, you are very much correct.

Society itself will not label a woman as being weak in that terminology.

I just think it's more of a, you know, some people do and some people don't as far as like label the person itself.

So I can get, I can get down with that, you know, and I, and I think it's fair that to say that a lot of some people are, are, you know, societal gnomes and some of them aren't, you know, I don't Know, I'm a. I guess I'm a little bit more judgmental, and I kind of call it like a.

A little bit more.

Just a little bit more.

He's famous.

I mean, ain't perfect out here.

Yeah, I'm gonna leave that one alone.

Listen, man, I mean, nobody said that was.

I never said that.

You did.

But sometimes when you speak of things, I'm like, what am I doing here?

Like, look at.

Look, man, the bottom line is, let's just make it equal, like you were trying to do.

I'll answer the question.

When somebody is getting more out of the.

Out of the relationship or agreement than you are, or one person is getting everything and you're getting nothing, and you're responding emotionally to it, and then you create a cycle where you get deeper and deeper and deeper with this person.

They're using you, and it doesn't feel good to.

In.

The sad thing about it is not.

And I know from experience, the sad thing about it is you can't get away from it because you don't want to.

You want approval from this person.

You want them to say, hey, my eyes were open.

You know, the.

The light has come on.

I love you.

And, you know, what was I doing?

That day never comes without more stuff that you have to do, or it doesn't come at all.

They just give you a seed that you think is going to grow, but it's not.

Their day dead.

And when you try to sever it, they make that about you too.

Nothing is their fault.

And when you experience all these things, look, go through what you have to go through, but understand eventually that you have to.

You will come to a point to where you need to sever the relationship.

If you have all of the things that I said in your head at any time, at any time, I.

In the relationship, you're being used.

Time to go, plain and simple.

Whether.

Whether a man is using a woman or a woman's using a man or whatever, it doesn't matter.

If you start questioning all the things that I said, then you're being used.

And this is from personal experience.

I was a complete idiot because I. I let my emotions dictate what I was going to do.

And it took that one moment where I snapped in my soul to just let it go.

It shouldn't have took that long, but it did.

So it's like, it is what it is.

And I.

And I get that.

So it's like, whatever.

But I'm like, yo, if you're not getting anything out of the relationship, Then.

And you are expending a lot of energy.

And it doesn't even matter what it is.

It doesn't have to be sex or money or whatever it is.

It could be.

I text this person every day, and they never text me back.

It could be something as simple as that.

Because the emotional transaction is there.

If they're playing games, like, I don't want to seem thirsty, but they're allowing you to be thirsty.

Time to go.

But you also have to have the emotional wherewithal to cut it off, or actually the logical wherewithal to cut it off.

Because your emotions is what got you riled up to start with.

So, again, if you're getting something out of the relationship, this.

This conversation is not about you.

But if you're working at this, I mean, you really working at this, and nothing's coming back your way, I don't care what the intent is.

It could.

And everybody that uses somebody sometimes is not malicious like Mo B.

Was talking about two or three weeks ago.

A lot of women have a problem with reciprocity because they're in their own heads about, you know, being controlled in a power struggle that's not even freaking happening.

Then they take it out on you.

So I don't want to be thirsty.

Meanwhile, you're texting her every day.

But the.

But the thing is, for her, she gets to.

She gets to, like, go to her friends and make you look like you're an idiot for doing something that she actually likes, but she disparages you for it.

Then the first time you don't text her.

Then all of a sudden, it's like, you not consistent.

How are.

How am I the.

You're the one that made me feel like a doofus because I wasn't.

I was doing too much.

Now I stop and trust me, I didn't text you one morning out of the 90 days I've been chasing you.

And then.

Then I'm not consistent.

What's wrong with you women?

Look, man.

Yeah, if you can get it together.

If you can get it together, leave.

And if you can't, I hope that one day you understand that you will snap one day.

Just don't go to jail.

Because that.

Those are the only two choices you have.

You can sit around in a relationship and just snap, hope you don't put your hands on nobody, and then you'll feel better after it's over.

Or you can go through the pain of suffering a relationship with somebody you actually really like.

And that's my answer.

I mean, this generation, the Cool thing about this generation generation is if they snap, they're gonna do it by text message so they don't have to be in front of the person that I have seen, you know, and it's just like, okay, that's what we're doing.

I'm gonna block you.

Yo, that block is weird, bro.

Is it though?

It is.

It's so.

It.

No, no, no, Ag.

It's secret.

It's not weird that somebody would block you.

It's not weird that somebody would say, hey, this person existing in my life isn't healthy for me, so I'm going to block them.

What is weird is when I hear people weaponize the idea of blocking someone.

That you keep doing that shit, I'mma block you.

The fuck block me then.

Why the you telling me about it?

Like,.

The reason, the reason I said that.

Don't ask that question.

Is because none of us have grown up in a place where our entire lives have been engulfed by social media.

We grew up in a time where we were analog, bro.

This is like, you know, telephones and whatnot.

For somebody who exclusively lives in a world in the vacuum of social media too be blocked.

And that's kind of, that's kind of.

Like, you know, that's harsh.

It is in, in that vacuum.

It is.

Cuz I understand what you mean and you're absolutely right.

Block me and whatever.

Because if I really want, I'll just come to your house or I'll call you or whatever.

I don't.

Whatever.

But if you are immersed in social media, that can be hurtful.

I mean.

Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.

I. I be.

Because I'm in that generational gap where I remember the world before and now I know the world after.

I do realize that like.

And like my kids will never understand how weird that is.

Like the idea of like blocking somebody on social media.

Like, why I think that's weird because I'm just like, you know, you could just stop talking to them.

Yeah, my life is over in.

In story.

Like end.

Like the end.

You just stop talking to him.

But.

But like the idea that people will send somebody a message, hey, do not message me back because I am blocking you.

You could have just blocked them or you could have just said, I don't want to talk to you anymore.

And then you could have just blocked them.

You didn't have to announce the blocking.

Like there's.

There's no power in.

That's what it is.

It's a power thing.

It's like there's power and Strength in blocking somebody in a fictitious space that only exists in the cloud.

Exactly.

Gotta love it, man, until.

Until you find out the person didn't even.

They weren't into you and they didn't know they were blocked.

Now that's hilarious.

See, and that's the thing, like, that's in my head where I'm like.

While the blocking thing could never.

Would never have been able to weaponize against me because I'm not on social media, I wouldn't even know.

Like, I blocked you.

Oh, cool.

Because I ain't been up there.

Anyway, so they block you.

I thought.

Thought you just ain't calling me no more.

Not, you know, I.

Look, I know what being ghosted is like.

We don't have to have any other transaction.

Which is funny that they have a term for that.

Hey, I just don't want to talk to your ass no more.

You are ghosted.

No, actually, if somebody tells you that that's not ghosted, they can't make an announcement.

If you make an announcement, you're not ghosting anybody.

That is my point of the whole blocking somebody and announcing it.

It's like you're doing this wrong.

Like, if you're gonna do it, just do it.

It's like.

Because here's the thing about the whole social media blocking thing, and this is a terrible analogy, and for anybody who thinks I'm making light of this, I'm sorry, I just can't think of anything else to compare it to.

If you tell me every day that you're gonna kill yourself eventually, eventually I'm gonna stop caring about.

About that threat.

It.

It.

It's just a natural human response.

You ain't done it.

It does it exactly.

It doesn't mean I don't care about you.

It just means like, hey, man, we.

We.

We can't keep using the same, like, look, you.

You can only use that bullet once, baby.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

You can't put it back in the gun and try to shoot it again.

It don't work that way.

I mean, no lies attack there.

To answer your question about, like, when.

When you.

As a guy, the way you know you're being played is like.

Like, if a woman's actually talking to you, period.

Because, like, these modern women seem to have, like, made a habit out of, like, normalizing the idea of everything being transactional, which is fine.

But you also have a problem if I call you a hoe.

It's just A weird dichotomy.

Like, it's like.

Like, look, man, if I know activities when I see.

And I'm not judging you, I'm not mad at you, but I know a hoe when I see one.

Like, if.

If you.

Like, if you tell.

If you make a statement, like, broke don't deserve this.

Oh, so you're a hoe.

I get it.

I get what you're saying.

Like, you saying it's transactional, and I'm okay with transactional.

I feel like things would be a lot more smoother if we just actually approach things with honesty in.

In the transaction.

Yeah.

Like, you know, I wish a woman wouldn't be offended if a guy walked up to him and said, how much is it gonna cost me to you tonight?

I get how that's disrespectful, and I get how is it disrespectful, though?

No, no.

Yes, it is.

Yeah.

That's kind of disrespectful.

Oh, no.

Nowadays, the assumption that you're not one of the 95 other percent of women, you could be the 5%.

And I got to be cognizant of the fact that you.

You could be.

Man, you're giving a lot of quarter.

Now, that's rude.

I don't think it would be that offensive, because personally, you could just tell me, hey, I'm not transactional.

And then I just go, my bad.

You was wearing the uniform, and I could just move on.

See, that part was extra.

That part was my bad.

You was wearing a uniform.

See, now that wasn't nice, sir.

And where's the uniform that.

Exactly.

Exactly.

You know what the fucking uniform is?

Yeah, we all do.

We all do.

Come on, man.

But here's the thing.

It's like, I heard somebody tell me it might have been my uncle.

If a woman asks you for something within the first two months, she don't like you.

I agree.

And I was just like, damn, that's so pro.

Now, as a young man, I wasn't ready to receive that because we're so programmed to feel like we have to earn.

Earn that reciprocal affection.

You know, you go to the bar and they're just like, hey, did you buy her a drink?

Go buy her a drink so you could talk to her.

Like, we got.

We were programmed to feel like we have to earn that attention back.

So I couldn't receive that information well early on in life, but it's absolutely right.

Like.

And I ain't saying, like, if I'm taking you out to.

To eat, if I ask you out, out on a date, and you ask me to pay for your food.

Look, I, I asked you out on a date.

I, I'm okay with that being standard operating procedure, but if in the course of this date, you start talking to me about, I don't know how you behind on the power bill throughout the this date, dropping the hints like you want me to give you some extra cash, like you don't like me.

You just like what you think I could represent for you.

And I'm good on that.

I mean, that's fair.

I mean, look, if, if women can have like the 60 day rule about not giving up, you know what I'm saying?

Being like, hey, you know, if you really want to know if a guy's really into you, you should make him wait.

And I mean, there's still some women out here operating like that.

Like, none of them saw the Eddie Murphy standup comedy that happened in the 80s, because he was absolutely right.

It's like, if you make him wait, he's not gonna be mad about it.

No, no, no, Reuben, that's not it.

But now they don't like you, but they just want to accomplish the task at hand.

Yeah, that's fair.

So.

So now, so now that whole I'm scared of a dude just hitting it and quitting it.

Well, he's.

He'll wait.

He'll wait.

But when he hits it, man, he, he put his two week notice in.

Two weeks before he hit it.

You know what I'm saying?

When he out, he's like, hey, y' all gonna notice I ain't been back here ever again.

But I, this is what the I was waiting for.

Because now he's either let down, because let's be honest, it's.

If somebody makes you wait for something spectacular like this, at the end of the day, you realize it's still vagina.

And you just like, man, I waited two months for this vagina when I could have got this vagina down the street, you know, for just being nice to her, like, and I, I was jumping through mental gymnastics for your ass.

Like, but everybody's v. Every girl's vagina is the greatest ever.

Look, I talked about this before.

I ain't never met a chick that thought she had.

Mediocre is always the greatest ever.

Can you imagine how shunned we as guys would be if we truly approach life?

Like, we had the greatest penis on earth?

Like, don't get me wrong, the male ego tries to tell you that, but we've had enough.

Most of the time in life you get enough experience as a guy to realize that's just your ego talking.

That is just your ego.

Go talk it.

Well, I'mma take my mediocre penis and take five minutes of the greatest time ever.

I mean, look, you know what I'm saying?

Here, here's, here's where I stand.

That's what some people say.

I mean, I'm just saying, here's where.

I stand on that.

You can tell me it ain't the greatest ever, but what I'll tell you is it worked for two minutes and that's all I required.

I'm just, I'm, I'm just saying I was able to accomplish my mission.

Well, I listen to some old shows and I'm glad to see that you're back up to two minutes.

Cuz you would whittle it down to 30 seconds, bro.

I mean, I might have been that interested in that 32nd one.

Like, you know, you, you can really judge how much I cared back in the day based on how much effort I truly put into this excursion.

Excursion?

Hilarious.

Yes.

And don't get me wrong, sometimes that's just the best I got ag.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm, I'm okay with that, man.

Like, I agree with none of this, sir.

I'm just, I'm just okay with it, man.

I don't have an opinion about somebody else.

Okay.

Anything you say, sir.

You know, so like, honestly, man, like truly, it's like if a woman asks you for anything extra within the first two months, I'm saying about what my uncle said, they don't really like you.

Because I, I, I know personally women who, if they like the guy, they would intentionally not try to ask for anything within that time frame just so they wouldn't look like that.

Yeah, I mean,.

Because I would respect that.

And then if I really like the person and they, you know, it was something they really needed, I'd be like, hey, you know, that's stupid.

You know, could have just.

But I'd also respect it.

Like, I get it.

Like you, you didn't want to seem like you were being transactional, like you were using me.

Well, let me, let me ask a question because I'm very curious because I can honestly say that this has never happened to me.

However, you know, I don't even know if it happened to my friends because that's not something I've had conversation with.

Has a woman that you are dating ever asked you to pay a bill for them?

Oh, yes, yes.

Really?

Yes.

Shut the front door.

Oh, you don't get out much, do you?

And I'm glad you don't in this.

In this case, I'm glad you don't.

I mean, it's been a minute since I've been on a dating team, but, yeah, I've all.

I guess the other thing is I've never really.
