In 1995, my neighbor, Anna Trainor, disappeared from a commune. It was nature and trees and praying. And drugs. So no, I am not your guru. Back then, I lied to everybody. They have had this case for 30 years. I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth. Listen to The Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But yes, so it is this all-white town in Arkansas, and basically, like, no black people live there. So do you feel like because it's an all-white town and none of us are welcome there that they should get rid of all of our motherfucking inventions? Abso-fucking-lutely. I think so, too. Y'all can't dry y'all clothes. The clothes dryer was invented by George T. Sampson. Your clothes finna be mildewy, bitch! Stay out there and them damp-ass clothes, bitch. Hang it up on the clothesline. I better see clothespins. Nothing but your clothes hanging up. Y'all don't be putting that shit on anyway, country motherfuckers. Hang that shit up on the clothesline, bitch. I got one. The blood bank that was created by Dr. Charles Drew. If we ain't welcome to your town, bitch, you don't need our blood. Die. Yeah. Die, ho. Low iron assholes just shivering. Die. Nope, nope. They don't get no transfusion. I don't want to hear it. No, that's what I'm saying. I don't want to hear nothing. No, oh, my blood is low. I need... That ain't got shit to do with that. That ain't got shit to do with us. what's up y'all it's your girl lex p and it's your girl dray nicole and you are tuned in to another episode of poor mind where a drunk mind seeks sober thought we ain't got no guests today We ain't got no guests today. So you know what? We had a meeting yesterday. You know, we always have our Tuesday meetings, right? We do. And honestly, it's been crazy because, you know, we've been trying to get some guests lined up and things like that. And if I'm honest, we've had like a lot of cancellations, scheduling misalignments and things like that. But you know what? Like I said in the meeting yesterday, I'm actually not mad at it. I feel like we've had an influx of listeners, so welcome if you're new here. Hello. But also, I just feel like we're getting back to the basics. You know, we're going back to the solo episodes, getting the people familiar with the world. So I like it. Yeah, I mean, I always like doing solo episodes. It's fun. They're easier. It's a good time. Yes. It's a good time. and I don't know I feel like it was one point in time where we didn't even used to have guests like for years we didn't really have guests and then when we did start getting them like people didn't want to see us have guests and now I feel like they be liking the guest episodes I don't really be seeing as many complaints as I used to not many complaints in our mouth cause they was complaining at one point but I don't really see the complaints like I feel like they really have been enjoying the guest episodes but because we have been having so many guests, I like when we get to do solo. It's fun. It's a little more relaxing. We get to get off topic. I mean, we're going to do that anyway when we have guests, but, you know. Real quick, because you know on Patreon, we had a discussion about like young hoes and things like that and what young hoes do and what you know, we don't do. I said we. I mean like what we don't do as older women. We aren't. Or older hoes, if you will. I got in my car the other day and I got in my car and I took off you know it's cold outside and then like I was on the phone my friend she was like bitch that's some young hoe shit like why did you not warm up your car do you warm up your car before you as soon as I get in I be warm it up especially in this cold like you got to get the going I guess I guess I've always thought like warming your car up is something that you do with like an older car. So I need to warm that bitch up. Well, not you, but I'm saying because like growing up when my dad used to always say that, he had like a older car when he used to be like oh, I need to go outside and warm my car up. I don't see the point to do that if your car is newer though. Well, let me, the reason I ask this because in the moment I was thinking about like maybe I should have warmed my car but I was like, what do I need to warm it up for? What difference do it make? Like if you don't warm it up. Is it gonna shut off? I pressed the gas. And it was... It started whistling. It made a noise I ain't never heard before, bitch. That hoe started whistling. I thought somebody was cat calling me. I have never heard my car make that noise before. I swear to God. You probably just need to put a little roll on. I don't know what it... But I was like, that's what I get. Because I'm like, it's fine, girl. You know, me and Rinky didn't gonna ride it. Yeah. But when I tell you I have never heard my car make this noise, It was like... I never... Yeah, that's some young hoe shit that I have forever did and I'm going to continue to do. I've never been a person to warm my car up. Now, I will say, though, my dad used to warm my car up for me when I was in, like, high school and stuff. So lucky. Yeah, I was. I didn't have no daddy around when I was growing up. I know. I'm sorry. That's all right. But my daddy did used to warm my car up for me. But once I moved out on my own, that shit was not going on no more. Well, your seats are heated now. They are. I know that's right. They are, but that's what I was saying. It's cold when, like, you know, I be leaving my house early in the morning. Yeah. It be cold as fuck. I'm not about to just be dry ass sitting in my car while it gets hot because it take a while for your car to warm up, for your heat to, like, penetrate the whole car. How long does it take your... I'm not being funny. How long does it take your seats to warm up? Immediately. I love that rich shit. Immediately. Immediately. But it does take... But it take a while for my whole car to get warm with the heat. But the seats, they heat up immediately. Them seats get hot too. I remember in your other car. In my old Range Rover. I had some toasty buns, bitch. Yeah. Yeah, my mom, you know, she had came out here earlier this year. I called myself, well, last year, my bad, because it's the new year. But when she had came out here last year and she was in the car, I called myself trying to be courteous and I turned the heat warmers on and she was like, can you turn it off? It's burning my back. Because it gets hot. It gets very toasty. It feels like a fucking air fryer. But I like it. It feel good. You be having that shit on bro. Well, I be having it on the highest setting because that's how I like it. But then my car have cooling seats too. Like it get cold in the summertime. You gotta go like this before you sit down. That's how I warm my seats up. And it's like it has air conditioning vents in the seat. Ooh. Girl, goodbye. I don't got none of that. Luxury. I know. Y'all get on my nerves. Baby, when y'all ride a rink and ding, you just got to make do, bitch. But the good thing about your car, though... Please make one good thing. I'm about to. I'm about to. The good thing about your car is that you have cloth seats. So you don't have to worry about it being too hot or too cold if you sit your ass down. I wish you were you right. Yeah. And don't you have a steering wheel warm-up, too? Yeah. Wow. That's the shit that be fucking me up. I'll be... Let them icicles be wrapped around it. Your hands be cold. Sometimes I just let that bitch go and break. Dang. God damn it. This weather, it's been really cold. It's been crazy cold. But luckily, I haven't really been having to go nowhere but, like, the gym. And when I finish, I go straight back. The gym is life. I go straight home. Gym is life. I know you're new. I told y'all, Drea's new nickname when y'all see her is Abby. Let him know. Abbed up. Abbed up. I can't wait, too, till I lose some more body fat. I be getting on that little machine every week. What machine? At Lifetime, we have this machine where you stand on it and it shows you your body fat percentage. Oh, okay. I need to get on. I know we have something like that in the gym. I'm pretty sure, yeah. So I need to see what my body fat percentage is. And it measures your, um, metabol... What is it? Metabolic rate. Metabolic age or something. Oh, age? Yeah, like... Oh. If you're like, you know, I'm 36, so to say, mine probably 48. The age of what? Your metabolism? Metabolism, yes. It lets you know, like, how old it is. Okay. I need to do that in my gym and see. You should. I like it because, I mean, it keeps you on track, and that's how you know if you're making progress. Because I think typically a lot of people track their progress by getting on the scale, but that's a horrible way to track your progress, especially if you're somebody who you're trying to gain muscle and you're eating right. The scale might not be moving as quickly as you would like, but your body is probably still changing. Like, it's probably still getting tighter. You're losing body fat, gaining more muscle. But you can't really tell that if you're only measuring it by the scale. So how often do you check it? Every week. Every week. So, like, how much do you say is, like, a successful week? Like, how much does your body fat go down and you're like, this is a good week? So I want to say for women, and don't quote me, but it's like women, we naturally have more body fat than men. So for a woman, I think a good rate is, like, 20%. Okay. Or, like, 30% or something like that. Mine, when I first started, was, like, 38. or something like that. So, like, I want to get it down to, like, 20. Okay. But, like, in a week, if you go down, is it, like, half a percentage? But it don't go down every week. It don't go down every week. I just be wanting to make sure it ain't going up. Okay, I see what you're saying. Yeah, but it's not going to move every single week. But I just like to check it because I'm a little extra. Yeah, I know that's right. I like that. But, yeah, I'm going to look it up, though, so I can give you all the accurate percentage. But, yeah, you know, I want to talk about this, too, before we get into the first topic. Well, honestly, first, this episode is brought to you by Taylorport. Shout out to our Taylorport family. Y'all know we keep it poured up all day, every day. Y'all know we love us some Taylorport. Love the Taylorport. Taylorport make you teleport. But I want to say this, too, because you know the ice storm and all that stuff that was going on. What ice storm? Well, listen, listen, because everybody was online talking about... It's going to be devastating. That's what they were saying on the news. They said people's lives will be lost. That's what they said. But knock on wood, because what if somebody did? Exactly. Okay, so this is what I have to say, because everybody was online, and they were like, y'all so stupid. Y'all done stocked up on these groceries and went and did that, and they were just trying to stimulate the economy. This is what I have to say about that. I grocery shop, like, pretty much every week because I get a lot of produce, and I like to buy fresh food. That's just me personally. So when I went to grocery shop this time, I got the same things I normally do. I just prepared for a week. If I stay in the house, who cares? I'm not going anyway. But I think a lot of people didn't take into account this. One, people were probably getting extra things because people have families. If you have two, three, four children and they're not going to be at school, that means you have to feed them breakfast and lunch because sometimes people, kids, eat breakfast at school. So you got two extra meals that you have to provide for. Some people who usually go to work, they're working from home, they're eating at home. So I think that it can be like maybe they did do that to stimulate the economy, maybe a little bit I don't know but grocery shopping and having extra food in your home is not like the gotcha y'all think it is and honestly just because your area didn't get snowed in a lot of people have been stuck in the house and it's been really bad in some areas yeah and I don't think it was as bad in Atlanta Georgia area as we thought it would be but a lot of people have been snowed in like literally stuck in their home yeah it was snowing so bad in Dallas yeah I saw that covered i did i saw that you know yeah and then the other day i'm trying to remember where i went i went somewhere and i can't like that's crazy because it was literally like two days ago and i can't remember why i drove 30 minutes away nor can i remember the area that i drove to you drove 30 minutes you don't know why you don't remember why i was going some my park no i was going somewhere but i can't remember where i was going but long story short when i was out there i seen so much ice on people's cars when you was out where what the fuck what and it's so like i promise y'all my brain is just drawing a blank i don't know where the hell i was at why did i go there what but it was a whole bunch of ice on people's cars i was like god damn yeah now i'm not gonna lie it was icy in my home it was very in your home not in the house no like on my balcony oh it was very icy um i could see like behind me it was like ice on the trail and ice on like i could tell my car was icy yeah i didn't drive because i just wasn't taking that risk but it was definitely icy where i was but um i enjoyed it i always love an excuse to stay in the sanctuary yeah me too i enjoyed it too but yeah it was a lot of ice on my balcony it was like icicles yeah And then the trees were frozen. It was a lot going on, and niggas was still outside running. I said, go into it, not me, though. Now, I will say, that's one thing, that the whites ran asleep or snow. I seen a few blacks, too. You did. I did. They was outside running. That is dedication. That is. I'm not... I'll say this. I still worked out, but I went to the gym in my building. I'm not going outside. Yeah, like, I, you know, I have dumbbells in my house now. I know this work. So I do at-home workouts, like, if it's like I can't make it to the gym. Luckily, the gym is, like, right up the street from my house. So obviously I stay in. So I just did my dumbbells at home, got on my little walking pad. Yeah. But I'm sorry. If you are the type of person that runs in the rain, that runs in the freezing cold, you are a different type of beast. I'm just not there yet. I can't do it. I can't do it either. I can't do it either. It did just come back to me what I went to do, though. What? to get my hair braided. Oh, okay. That was like... I had went to get my hair. I had went to get the top of my hair redone. That was like... But it was like 30... How did you not remember that? I don't know. But it was like 30 minutes away. And I was like, why was I way out there? I couldn't remember why. I'm weak. That's why. And speaking of, real quick, and then we gonna move on. Did you know that I saw this on... Y'all know I'm a TikTok scroller. That when people are shoveling snow outside or ice and it's really cold, they say if like you hold the shovel above your heart, you could die. I never knew that. No, what's the science behind it? It's something that has to do with the blood flow with the arteries, but it can literally give you a stroke and you'll die. It's crazy. And then what was so crazy is I'm watching the video of the lady explaining it. She's watching her neighbor's shovel. She was like, lower the shovel. But mind you, he can't hear her. I'm like, if that's really true, why don't you go and tell him? Because they say it usually happens in older men. and it was like an older guy. And I'm like, you need to go save his life. But how common is that, though? It was a lot. I'm not going to lie, though. It was people in the comments like, yeah, my dad died like that, my grandfather. I said, God damn. Especially if they're not moving a lot normally or if they don't have a workout routine, then yeah, it definitely can be catastrophic. Oh, yeah. That be in Chicago, people be dying left and right. No, because we used to it now. They be tipping over. I had to shovel my car out one time. I say you'll never see the likes of me again in the winter. I didn't know that like, what do they call it in Chicago when y'all like dig out your parking spot? Yeah. And like that's your... Leave a chair? Yes. The way? You leave like a chair or like a cone and nobody better come in your spot either. Oh. Because if I shovel this whole spot, this is mine. Okay. So it's like rude. Like they be fighting over that shit. I would want to fight too if I did all that goddamn work and you came and stole my shit. I be ready to fight in Atlanta with somebody still. Have you ever had somebody steal your parking spot like you was waiting to turn in and you had your blinker on? And then somebody just skirt and get in front? I ain't never had that happen to me. That happened to me before. But that's because I be parking far. I don't want nobody to see my shit. I be trying to sneak out my car, bitch. Can't nobody see me. No, I be trying to park close, as close as I can. Oh, my. I've never been in that situation. For real? Nobody never stole your parking spot? Never. But I also will say, I've always been the type of girl. So it's just something that my mom told me growing up, and it's just so silly, but like parking spots, like if you have to park far, it's okay. Because she's like, just get your steps in, girl. Yeah. So I've never been that person where I'm like, oh my gosh, I have to park at the front. I've never really cared because I'm like, okay, I'll get some extra steps in. So I still kind of have that mentality about it. You are like that. I'm always trying to park close to the front because I don't like walking far. Especially if I already done hit my 10K steps for the day. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't mind. I'm a walker. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. All right. That's funny. And y'all know every week we have to do a poor decision. You know what I'm saying? I know y'all be mad because we don't be giving y'all the tea, but I'm going to give y'all what I got this week. Because you know what? I'm glad I did my poor decision that I did the other day. And I was like, y'all need to stop asking me for money. At first, I felt bad about talking about it. I really did. But honestly, I got a lot of love in my messages. Like, let's, we understand, girl. And a lot of times, that stuff be fake. and so you did the right thing. Because I was actually kind of like, I didn't want people to get like, you know I'm real sensitive and I'm an empath. So I didn't want people to think I was being rude or nasty. But I'm... So I didn't want people to think I was being rude or nasty. But I'm... What is it? An empath. An empath. Then I see y'all wrong because I was going to let it slide. I said what? I was going to let it slide. But But I was like, you know, I didn't want people to think I was being nasty and rude. Because I try to be, you know, a nice person for the most part and be understanding because I've been there. But I was glad I told my truth. And I got a lot of messages of people just showing their support, you know. So I was glad I kind of told my truth and how I felt. I feel like... Oh, sorry. No, no, go ahead. I was just going to say, that's good. I do think that it's good that you're nice, but you can be nice and still sit firm by the reason. And that's why I said, I'm working on it. Yeah. Set them boundaries. Set them boundaries. But my poor decision this week. What is my poor decision this week? You know what? I'm not going to lie. So this has something to do with my house again. I made a very, very poor decision. And I decided to wait to get my closet done. And honestly, like I said, I haven't been living in my main bedroom yet. I haven't decorated it yet. And you've seen my main bedroom. It's closed everywhere. Yeah. Because my main bedroom was like my closet right now. Honestly, that was the worst decision I've ever made in my life. I'm miserable. It's been very tough for me. I should have did my closet the first thing I did when I moved in. Because like finding stuff to wear. It's hard. It is like overwhelming to the point to where like I break down. I, the tough first world problems I know. But why you didn't just hang, why you didn't just hang your stuff up in your other closet? Until you got your master closet. It's not enough room. I don't have enough room. And honestly, I thought it was going to be easy. And I was like, oh, I'll have to. It's awful. It's horrible. But I'm getting my closet done this week. And I'm just so excited because it has been months and months of just struggling. Like stuff everywhere. I get overwhelmed. So honestly, anybody who is in the housing market or you're buying a fixer upper, do your closet first. Do your closet first. Please, please, please, please. because I have been in hell over there. So I'm so happy the time has finally come. But like I said, this is a learning process for me. And I've really been enjoying the, I'm glad I bought a fixer-upper because it's like really custom to what I want and what I like, but I'm learning. So if I do, I'm never going to get a fixer-upper again for myself personally. Segregation in the day, integration at night.

When I start building my house, I imagine it's probably going to take me about two or three years to build it. For real, for real. If I really get in there and get the details done, I'm not going to be in that house for two or three years. But I know what to do You know what I'm saying I know what to do Because there's been a lot of poor decisions I have made with this home But I'm learning You know You're living, you're learning I mean that's how I feel like it is With your first anything Like you know It's just trial and error It's fucking trial and error But nevertheless Nevertheless I'm an empath Nevertheless Empath What's in your cup? That ain't no water I got this drink in my cup Shout out to Kirk Actually, it's not water because it's Taylor Poured. I know. So what's your poor decision, Chad? So my poor decision was, man, okay, my best friend, Lynn, she had came and spent the night over my house during, like, the ice storm or whatever, and we had these THC drinks that we were drinking, and, y'all, when I say we had the munchies. Oh, my God. We just kept getting up and going to the kitchen and was like, oh, I'm just going to get one little snack, one more little snack. And we was eating so much stuff. Like, we bust down a whole bag of popcorn, a whole bag of trail mix. I mean, it was somewhat healthy snacks. But then, you know, anything isn't really that healthy if you're eating a whole bag. If you're eating a whole bag, it's like 10 servings in a bag. But we was busting them snacks down. I am so weak. And we was high as fuck. Off of the drink? Yes. that's crazy because we had drunk like two of them yeah no one a piece oh okay okay okay well we had two we had two different cans yeah so we both drunk half of each one like throughout the day and we was watching movies and stuff and then she was like i don't know do you feel anything because i don't really feel anything and then she just started laughing randomly and i'm like are you sure you don't feel anything y'all are so silly no yeah we was up in that bitch high as and just snacking and i'm just not even a snacker yeah you're not yeah i'm not like i could have literally i be having snacks in my house and it be lasting me for like weeks because every once in a while i want a little something something but for the most part i'm like a person who really like meals but when i tell you all them snacks long they all go was it like protein popcorn that's the kind of shit you eat no it wasn't because you know what's funny i don't even really like popcorn for real i love i think it's because when i used to have my braces you know it's such a long list of things that you're not supposed to eat so i couldn't eat popcorn for a really long time and i just also don't like the way like the kernels and stuff i said i'm colonel yeah be getting stuck in your teeth like i don't like it but because i am doing 75 hard right now i've been trying to find like super healthy snacks so they had this popcorn at trader joe's and oh my God, when I tell you I've already ate like six bags of it in the past like three weeks. You need to put that bag. I know. I know, but it's so good. It's the kale corn. Because you know I'm doing no dairy and stuff too with my 75 hearts. So I be having to read the ingredients on stuff. And it was like the only popcorn that they had that only had four ingredients. Sugar, salt, I think. Probably some kind of palm oil or something. Yeah, like sunflower oil or something. But it didn't have no butter or anything. Lex, when I tell you this popcorn is so good. Like, I be tearing that popcorn up. I'm embarrassed how many bags I went through in like three weeks. I think the only thing about healthy snacks that I don't like is just the overload of protein. They be like protein chips, protein dip, protein water, protein everything, protein soap, protein. Enough of the goddamn protein. Ooh, but speaking of protein snacks, them Quest chips, have you ever tried the quest chip they're good i've tried them before but you didn't like them i want a real fucking potato you want a real dorito i want to i don't want this shit if i'm on a healthy kick i would just rather get my protein from the chicken and say i don't want no protein chip and protein dip i made some nachos when he was the quest protein chips with turkey ground turkey and black beef. It was good though. Enough. It was good. When you get off your Chinese diet you should try it. I don't eat that. In my, we only eat egg drop soup, miso soup. We are good, okay? Warm lemon water, that's it. We are good. Okay. Yes, that was my bad. That was my poor decision for the week. Well, you deserved a little splurge. You've been doing really good. I did. Thank you. I'm going to try not to be so hard on myself. But yes, it is Black History Month. power to the people. Amen. So, we gonna talk about like some fun little black history facts and stuff. But then, before we get into that, I want to talk about this all-white town in Arkansas. Have you heard about it? Oh, I thought she was about to say orange. Well, that's not all-white. You from there. Can't be all-white. But, and didn't you say little Mauriceville, that's where the black people were. Bro, it's little Cypress, Mauriceville. But there's a a lot of black people on orange. West Orange is like, you know, you know, somebody left a comment, side note, and they were like, why does Lex talk about orange? Like, it's all white. There's plenty of black. I never said it was all white. I said I went to a predominantly white school. Y'all be trying to clock my tea. And it's like, let's move on before I curse somebody out. I'm working on myself. Yeah, I understand. They do be trying to clock their tea. Every time. They be trying to do that to both of us. But yes, so it is this all white town in Arkansas. and basically, like, no black people live there. So do you feel like because it's an all-white town and none of us are welcome there that they should get rid of all of our motherfucking inventions? Abso-fucking-lutely. I think so, too. And no offense, that's why... Have y'all seen that on TikTok, that family, that they had to come and, like, kind of save them because they were inbred so bad? They were severely, severely, like, mentally, like... I don't know what the word I'm looking for, but it was bad. It looked like the heels have eyes type of people. So stay y'all asses over there and keep our inventions out of there. You know, I'm perfectly fine with that because people that have that type of thinking, I don't want y'all in society anyway because y'all are the type of people that do dangerous things to people who don't look like you. Y'all are ignorant. Y'all don't deserve to be around people that are normal because you are weird. I think it's so weird how in 2026 we are still separating people by their skin color. How ignorant can you be? Now it's just a bunch of dumbasses in one town and can't count one plus one. Ugly motherfuckers, too. Ain't a bad bitch in sight. Well, the name of the organization is called Return to the Land, and it's based in northeastern Arkansas, and they have a whites-only community on privately owned land in rural Arkansas, and it was founded in 2023. But it says, okay, they own about 160 acres in the Ozark region, Is the Ozark region where that show was filmed? It seemed like it. Wasn't no niggas on that show. Yes, I know. Can you look that up, Ty? Because I was never really an Ozark watcher. Yeah, I watched like the first season, but I don't know. I just didn't stick to it. That one was set in Osage Beach, Missouri. Oh, okay. All right. But yeah, I just think that's so interesting that it's still places like that in 2026. Yeah. It's very weird. Y'all are so weird. It is. It's very strange. So one thing that y'all can't have is traffic lights. Whole ass niggas run into each other and crash and burn, bitch. Don't I, if I see a motherfucking traffic light, bitch, blow that bitch up. Blow that bitch up. What else, Drea? They can't have ice cream scoops. And you know they love protein ice cream, bitch. Put it up! I would be miserable if I couldn't have no protein ice cream. You know Blue Bell makes some protein ice cream. They do? It's coming out. But you know, I don't really eat ice cream no more. Unless it's like, what is that stuff called? So delicious. I don't know what that is. It's like the coconut milk base ice cream. It's really good though. Another thing y'all can't have, y'all can't dry y'all clothes. The clothes dryer was invented by George T. Samson. Your clothes finna be mildewy, bitch. Stay out there and them damp ass clothes, bitch. Hang it up on the clothes line. I better see clothes pins. Nothing but your clothes hanging up. Y'all don't be putting that shit on anyway, country motherfuckers. Hang that shit up on the clothesline, bitch. I got one. The blood bank that was created by Dr. Charles Drew. If we ain't welcome to your town, bitch, you don't need our blood dye. Yeah. Dye hoes. Low iron ass hoes just shivering. Dye. Nope, nope. They don't get no transfusion. I don't want to hear it. No, that's what I'm saying. I don't want to hear nothing. No, oh, my blood is low. what they do. That ain't got shit to do with us. Oh, this is a good one. Touchscreen tech contributions. That was by Dr. Samuel C. Collins and others. Give me that mouthful. Give them up, bitch. I don't want to see no scanning or nothing. Nothing with that. Put it up. That's for us. Keeping it on this side, bitch. Okay. That's a good one. That motherfucker's finna be in the dark with candles. And it can't be the candles that Drake made either, because you know Drake got a candle line. Those are for us too, bitch. He do? Yep, he did. A long time ago. I didn't know that. He had a candle line. But he don't have it no more. I don't know, but if they try to buy a candle, not Drake's, bitch! Put it back! Put the candles back, bitch! So, the folding chair. Uh-huh, uh-huh. My hair. I got mad. I got mad. And don't you Sprint Caesar. I'm mad now. My blood pressure high, but I can get a transfusion. I can get one. Go ahead. The folding chair, which is good because must we beat y'all ass with them again? A moment in history, bitch. A moment in history. We need to bring that shit back. Bring it back. No barbecues. I better see full dining chairs in y'all yard when y'all have a barbecue, bitch. You know what I'm saying? I agree. No folding chairs for you. Home security systems. That was invented by Marie Van Britton Brown. Leave that shit. I don't want no rings. I don't give a fuck if a white man invented it. You know who it came from. Marie. Put it back. No vivid. No vivid. I don't even want to see a fucking what is the thing? The Google speak? Siri? None of those bitches. No Siri? No Alexa? nothing put it back no i home put it none of that shit i'm not playing with you motherfuckers you don't understand what bernie mason oops okay your ass getting too bad okay toilet tissue holder by lida d newman yeah put that shit on the counter y'all don't wipe anyway they don't yeah i'm not talking about all of y'all i'm talking about the people in this town yeah I know they don't be wiping. Just nasty. Put it the fuck back. Set your toilet paper on the ground, ho-ad nigga. Set it on the ground. You're not finna prop that bitch up. Or use some wipes. But don't get no toilet paper holder. And then, this is a good one too. Microphones. By James Edward West. I don't want to see no motherfucking podcast coming out that bitch. Put it back. I don't want to hear no, Oh, welcome to the podcast of RTT. Arkansas. Welcome to Arkansas. No motherfucking podcast. Put it back bitch. Well just in that one little area. Yeah just in that one area. Put it back bitch. Put it back. But I do. I think that's crazy and I know they using all that shit. Peanut butter too. Yes. PB&J. You know they love a mean peanut butter cookie now. They do. Put it back. I like a peanut butter cookie. They love a little nutter butter. Girl scout. You can't eat it. That's not for you. That is not for you. I truly feel like if you do not like people, and don't get us started on even other races who have invented things because they said not only blacks, non-whites, period. Yeah, it's just whites only. I don't want to see no motherfucking taco night, no butter chicken. You bet not eat no egg drop soup. Because that's my other people. I don't want to see none of that shit on your plate. Unseasoned chicken only, bitch. Well, the good thing is, I don't think you was ever going to see what's on a plate anyways because you're not welcome there. I wasn't invited. They'll probably run you out of town. They would. They would. I don't give a damn, man. It's just nasty of them. But I wonder, do they go other places or do they just stay there? I hope they stay there. If you leave out of that town, I mean, you're gonna run into other people that aren't right. But imagine these people probably used to be somebody's neighbor. That's just a scary thought. And I know it smelled crazy in there. In there? Yeah, in the society. 160 acres of funky bullshit. Yeah. I know it's funky in there. Mm-hmm. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. I believe it. So, prayers down to y'all. Y'all are very, very strange. And shout out to all, all jokes aside, shout out to all the black creators and black inventors out there, all of our brothers and sisters who have helped us advance in all that great technology, good foods, and things that we use to this day. Yes, we are innovators. They can't do shit without us. All right, y'all. This one is smooth, grown. It's a little classic, but at the same time, it's elevated. We're starting it off with Taylor Port, rich, jammy, and giving dark fruit energy. Yes. Then we balance it out with some bourbon because you already know. So, you know, we have to add a few dashes of bitters to tighten it up, keep it classy, and not too sweet. Yes. Stir it down nice and slow. Let everything just, you know, get acquainted together. So you know you gotta finish with an express orange peel, oils only, because aroma matters and we're doing this with care. Mm-hmm. This is a slow sipper. Late night conversation vibes. That's why we're calling this one Couch Confessions. It's smooth, layered, and built for real talk. This one's for you. So for topic number two, I wanted to talk about an old topic. Okay. So I saw somebody leave a comment and they was just kinda like, why don't y'all revisit some of the old topics that y'all talked about and see if y'all have a different perspective now. So I think that would be fun for us to start doing, not every week, but on some of the episodes. So for this topic, I wanted to talk about how do you argue? Are you an emotional arguer? And this is something that we talked about before. I wonder what I said. Years ago. I can't remember what I said. And that's probably what we should try to do too. Find the clip and insert it. Good, because when y'all insert the clip, I don't know what I said. so if we can find the clip, we gonna insert it so we can see my answer. But I'm not gonna lie, if we're having a heated discussion, don't let me get my turn. Them words finna flow. And then I'm gonna say some mean, because I like to cut a person deep. I like that little dagger in the heart. What if you can't come back from there? That's all right. I love to use a big word, because everybody ain't that articulate. But see, and that's why I don't like arguing with smart people. Yeah, I love to use a word that I know you not gonna understand. And hold on. Because what the hell that means? But you can't say hold on during an argument. No, you can't. I'm going to be Googling the words. No, you can't because you lost. I never lose. You lost if you had to stop and pause and Google. But luckily for me, anytime we've argued, I'd be prepared. Because I talk to you a lot. So I know the words that you be using. Like what? Like perplexed. The first time you used perplexing, you said legs. I was so perplexed. I said, what the hell does that mean? Did she just call me the N-word? I wouldn't consider myself necessarily an argumentative person. I'm a confronter, but I'm not an argumentative person because I will confront you if you have me messed up. But I ain't trying to argue with you, though, because I said what I said. That's really the type of person I am, and that's probably my problem and my downfall because I'm going to say what I got to say, and I ain't trying to argue. We ain't about to go back and forth about it. I said what I said, and that's what I'm standing on. That's my favorite Carlos joke. Say what you said. Say what you said. That's a classic joke. It was funny. If you know, you know. But anyways, no, you know what? About me, that pisses people off. And you're not a confronter and not argumentative. I'm confrontational, but I ain't trying to argue with you. I just got to get that shit off my chest. Yeah. And you know, for me, I'm like, more so is people will be mad as hell going off on me. And I'll be like, I'll try to crack a joke because I feel so uncomfortable. Yeah. Like, that's the only thing I know how to do. My man likes that. Yeah, I will crack it. My man is like that too. But honestly, now I will say it depends on what it is. But I will say I definitely go into arguments being more logical now than I used to be. I feel like when I look back on certain things I would get mad at or certain things that I would blow up about, I'm like, if I would have handled that better, things would have been easier and better with our communication. so I feel like 100% sometimes I still do get out of character a little bit like I said depending on what it is but 100% now I definitely think about things before I say it I don't speak from emotion because when I speak from emotion I say hurtful things I say things I don't mean and sometimes you say things that you really can't take back yeah and you take things too far and I've learned that from even like my past situations that I've been in with like friends people I've dated um so I think now I definitely, I definitely argue. And I don't even like to use the word argue because I don't even feel like me and my partner don't really argue now. And I think that's something that we've grown in. Because at first, maybe it was World War III and that motherfucker. But now it's like we have disagreements and we talk it out. And I think I try to go in from a logical standpoint. I don't always succeed, but I'm growing and I'm learning. Very different how I used to be. because it used to be like, fuck you, nigga. Yeah. I hope your mama just dead on the floor. Fuck that bitch with her crusty ass. And she had a crusty ass son. Both of y'all just crusty. The crusty twins, bitch. You think I give a fuck about a nigga with a crusty mama? I used to just... Bring a nigga's mama and shit is wild as fuck. I used to talk about niggas so bad when I got it Because I wanted to hurt them so bad. But so I don't do that no more. I definitely don't. Because it's like, no. What about you? My absence is going to hurt you. So I've never, and I've never been like an emotional arguer. Because I don't like arguing with people, to be honest. Because I'm going to take it to the moon. I don't like being taken to a place to have to argue with people. Because if I have to argue with you, I'm going to hurt your feelings. Yeah. Like I'm going to hurt your feelings. So I just don't even like it. This is Writer Strong with a podcast called The Red Weather. In 1995, my neighbor, Anna Traynor, disappeared from a commune. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. Back then, I lied to everybody. They have had this case for 30 years. I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth.

You're sipping coffee with one maybe, grabbing dinner with another, and praying your karmic Ken or Barbie appears before your shelf life runs out.

Boys and Girls dives into every twist and turn of the arranged marriage carousel. The meet awkward, the near misses, the heartbreak, and let's not forget all the jokes. Listen to Boys and Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm really more of a bitch, I'm just not gonna talk to you type of person. And I've always been like that. Like, I'm not entertaining this bullshit. And when we do have a conversation, if you're being emotional, I'm really like, okay, bro, I'm really not entertaining this bullshit. Go away from me with this. Apollo. Yes. I don't be having time. Because to me also, anybody, I've never really been into that super toxic shit. I feel like anybody who can make me argue with them all the time or make me want to go back and forth with them, you're not a good person to be in my life. Because I'm naturally a person who I don't be on that type of shit. Yes. So if you bring that out of me, you're not really a good person that I need around me. Because why should we be dealing with each other if we always arguing or we always trying to say something to hurt each other or have one up on each other? Or, oh, you said this, so I'm going to say this back. That shit just always been childish to me. And like I said, maybe because I am a tourist and we just don't fucking play that shit. Like, bitch, we only about to do so much arguing before I'm ready to punch your ass. So I don't even like to argue with people. Like, I remember vividly one argument that I had with this girl that I used to live with. And I was about to hit that hoe upside the head with a glass. I remember that. And luckily, my best friend was there. I remember you called me and I was like, what the one down? The tea was hot that day. Yeah, I was about to smack fire out that hoe. I remember that. Because, bitch, what we not about to do is keep going back and forth, especially when you standing in my room. Yes, she was. And wouldn't get out. Sitting on the edge of my bed and telling me you not about to get out Oh you about to get the fuck out nasty a vile well i gonna force your ass to get the fuck out yeah it was but yeah so like i just don be with all this shit i and i feel like when you and a person respect each other y'all not gonna be having a whole bunch of arguments all the time yeah i agree with that point you said too you have to notice when people bring a certain side out of you that you really don't even like i'm not gonna to lie to you i'm really like when i'm around my friends and like certain people i'm like a great ball of fun and then i was noticing this person i was around every time it was like i would just turn i'm like it got to the point to where i didn't even recognize myself and i had to take a step back like girl what are you doing why is every time you're around this person you don't feel good they're saying things to you that make you feel bad you just get in a mode that's not you i got a protective mode yeah because i felt like let me protect myself yeah against you i should not have to feel like i need to protect myself when i'm around you so i think that's stuff that we need to take note of that was an excellent point if you bring out a side of me that is not normal like when i'm around my friends we drink we have a good time we party even if we're not drinking we're just being girls having a good time that arguing shit is just that's too much and like i said like i'm just not even trying to go there with people because i am i be taking it to the moon when i argue with people so i just don't even want to be brought to that place i like to stay in my happy place but do you feel like when people cry or they are emotional during an argument people don't take them as serious i i i do to a certain extent because i'm the type of person everything makes me cry i cry when i'm happy i cry when i'm sad i cry when i'm mad that's just my I don't know why my body does that. I cry for every emotion. So sometimes when I feel like I'm mad, like people be like, oh, look at this weak ass hoes. Like, no, bitch, I'm fucking mad. So sometimes I be feeling like how Candy used to be. That's my mama. That's my mama. That's how I be. Her voice starts shaking. That's my mama. That's how I be, because I be like, no, you the fuck you don't. You sound like Scooby Doo. What the fuck was that? That do not sound like Candy. That's my mama. And I feel her because that's my mama, bitch. You got me fucked up. So sometimes I do think crying makes people look weak, but don't get it twisted. You know what I'm saying? Now, I do think there are certain people who cry to be manipulative. That's what I was about to say. I don't think, I don't never really think that it make people look weak. I just hate when people be crying when we get into it, because bitch, you should have thought about that shit before you wanted to argue with me, or you know what the fuck you did. So why are you surprised that we arguing and now you want to pull out the crying card? I hate people who cry when they know what the fuck they did. And then if you do it like every time. Yeah, you be doing that shit. I can't help it. That's why her ass is looking at me. But everything makes me cry. Because you definitely used to do that all the time, and I be like, bro. I'm still crying. I can't help it. One thing about Lex, she gonna cry. In every argument, though? Majority of the time. All right, here we go again. Yeah, but that's why I'm saying I don't do it on purpose. And honestly, I don't... I actually try not to because I know what it looks like and I know what it comes off as. So, like, sometimes, like, if I'm arguing with a friend or somebody we're not seeing eye to eye, I'll be like, okay, either let's talk about this later when I can gather myself. Yeah. Or I just try to, like, okay, give me a second. Or I try to hold back my tears. but sometimes when i start talking when it's my turn talking you know and you know but i will say i have had disagreements with friends in the past before where it's just like girl you try you trying me right now like you you think that this is gonna make me feel like oh no girl you know what you did because i've been in situations where somebody did things purposely to me to hurt me and you're trying to cry as a defense mechanism yeah but and then i've had people who did things and it's like they didn't know necessarily it was gonna hurt my feelings or something and i know they didn't mean it and they and you can just kind of tell i think in that situation because it's like girl you trying it but i get that sometimes people just can't help it it's like my mama always say get him a tissue and finish what you saying yeah clean it up here you go But like I was saying That's good advice Don't let them tears move you But my mama always been like that even with me She gonna still say what she have to say She don't give a damn about you crying Because at the end of the day majority of the time People know what they did So why you crying now You wasn't crying when you did it That's a tourist thing too Because my mom was like that Again I'm a cry baby Girl shut the hell up girl Girl shut up girl Finish it I mean, especially because me and your mama got the same birthday. Oh, my gosh. I used to be like, oh, brother. She did. And she used to be like, I don't give a fuck about you crying, bruh. Go do what I said you were supposed to do. I won't say that to people. I don't really say it to people when they be crying. But I be thinking in my head, bitch, I don't give a damn. Anyways, like I was saying. But I don't know. What do you think, Ty? Are you an emotional arguer? I used to like to fight. You used to be a fighter? I used to throw the bones. You used to be scrappy? I would get mad really quickly. So maybe that's the emotional side. Other than that, I'm more logical, especially now. I agree 100%. Like, I love my peace. I don't even, if I know a situation is going to be like some confrontation, I'm like even more hesitant now. I think through it. What am I going to say? How am I presenting myself? Because I just would like to avoid any confrontation at all. But yeah, I used to be ready to throw them boats. I am a wee. I get, when I get mad, I get real mad. So like, I just don't like going there. It's like zero to a hundred. Mm-hmm. Somebody was telling me the other day, they was just like, you be letting stuff slide off your back a lot. Like, I feel like you don't really let stuff like get you super riled up a lot. And that's intentional because I feel like when I was younger, I did. Like, I used to get really upset about a lot of shit. Now, I just be like, it's not even that big of a deal. If it's not something that's going to matter in a few hours, I don't work myself up over it because when I get mad, I be ready to fight too. I'm not a fighter though because I haven't gotten to fight in a really long time, so I wouldn't call myself a fighter. But when I was younger, I did used to be fighting. In my 20s, for sure, in college. When I was in high school and middle school and stuff, I used to get in fights. I will say though, I haven't seen you be like upset like that, like that for real since that friendship. It was like always something. like every day I'm like what the actual fuck this situation is actually worse than what I thought it was gonna be I still this day I have never seen you today to this day I still have not seen you just be around somebody it was just like it was draining for me to feel that energy come it was so weird because I really can't be bothered by a lot of shit I feel like you know that about me In order to be bothered by things, you have to care. Yeah. And I hope it doesn't sound bad, but then, I mean, oh, well, if it does, I really don't be giving a fuck about a lot of shit. You know what I mean? So that's why I think things just don't ever bother me. Yeah. But that particular situation, because that girl was just, she was so weird. Like, and I've had a lot of weird friendships over the years, like with different girls. Girls just, I don't know, they just done did some weird shit. But, like, she was by far the weirdest one. to the point that it was like, I can't do this. And that's why the friendship didn't last, because I was literally about to whoop her ass. And if it gets to that point, we can't be friends. And we lived together, too. Oh, no. Yeah. Y'all would have been ass jiggling all over that goddamn apartment. That was a lot of ass in that friendship. It was. It was. It's more ass than it's friendship. Booty jiggling all over them hallways, bitch. But yes, and I just think what you said is a really good point, though, because I think that's a testament to the people that I keep around me now too. Like, if somebody is making you feel that way or taking you to that place, get rid of them immediately. Because they not somebody that needs to be in your life. Ain't nobody worth taking penitentiary chances over. Penitentiary? Serious? I mean, because if you whoop somebody ass and then they say that you assaulted them, you will go to jail for that shit. That's a fact. Especially if you swung first. And I was definitely about to swing first. If you would have hit her in the head with that glass, you would have definitely been in jail. I would have. Smiley. In my mug shot. Yeah, I did it. All right. So y'all let us know. Are you an emotional? Are you more logic? Do you cry? Do you not cry? Because I'm going to share that a little bit. Lex is going to cry. Lex is a cryer. Everything makes me cry. I'm going to cry right now. I only ever cried in arguments with my men. Same. With my friends, I don't cry in arguments. but I rarely argue with my friends why is that y'all only cry with y'all man for me it's more manipulation okay that's real I can accept that you yelling at me for me it's not manipulation it's just I think it's more emotional cause we just more emotionally intertwined okay I can understand that too yeah like I don't know how to explain it and for me I actually like I try to hold back my tears anyway but with my man I really try to hold them back because I don't want you to think I'm being like I need you to take me seriously and stop thinking I owe me poor man no bitch I'ma fuck you up so with my man I really try to hold my tears back with my friends I feel more like I can be a little I can like just kind of be myself but with my man I feel like I be having to hold my ground let you know ain't shit sweet over there no ass nigga I can't let that voice shake I'm gonna hold my ground but then I'm also gonna like cry too because oh my god I'm just a girl I'm just a girl I'll put you in your chest I'm so sorry I'm your little sweet baby doll like why would you treat me like please I don't wanna uh uh maybe I should try that approach you should you were practicing your crying because I feel like you get more bees with honey in any situation like in life in any relationship well you know what I will say I think I'm learning to do also what works of what works for us at the same time. Yeah. But I will say I don't have to do that anymore because we discuss things now. We want to 1,000% discuss things. I can't, like, we don't raise our voice at each other no more.

So something good to add. Add it on now. Your daily vitamins. All right, let's get into this topic. So, and we have, this is another one that we have discussed before, but is sex better in the dark? You know, like, do you feel like you like to be like, oh, surprise, it's a nut. You know what I'm saying? Do you like to be in the dark and be like, you don't know what's grabbing and touching and pulling and squeezing? A nut is never surprising. Uh-oh. And there's two of them. You know it's coming. You know what I'm saying? So, do you like having sex in the dark? You know, like, is that your thing? You know, it could be more focused on sensations. Your other senses could be risen because you can't see. I mean, I'm not opposed to it, but I like to see during sex. You a freaky motherfucker. Yeah, I like to see. What you like to see? Them, myself. Most. Yeah, I don't know. Like, the dark is cool. It's fine. I mean, and I think sometimes it definitely up it a little bit. Like, especially, like, if you done had a few drinks and you put a little blindfold on or something like that. You remember when T-Pain had that song? If I take one more drink, I'm going to end up fucking you. I do remember that song. Is that what you want to do? I do remember that song. But, yeah, like, I do like, I think that darkness is appropriate for some settings. Because I do like a little blindfold. Ooh. I do. I'm not going to lie. I don't like pitch black. That's what I'm thinking about. I don't like that. Now, I like a sexier lighting. Like moody lighting. Moody lighting, yes. Because I can still see, but I do not like having sex and the lights are on. Like white lights. I don't even have white lights in my home, period. All my lighting in my house is warm. Yeah. Warm, moody lighting, yes. I do not like sex in the dark. I feel like sex in the dark is either for people who are a little self-conscious about their body. Yeah. Are you hiding something? Is there a bump on your dick? I told you. Time to light up. Yeah, let's check it out. Let me see. I need to see the balls. I told you. Yes, I need to see what's going on. I do too. And I think I talked about this on the show before. Like, I told this story about my mom. Because, you know, my mom used to be a nurse. She used to be a RN. And this lady that she used to work with at the hospital, she was saying how, like, she had a little date with this man. and they ended up, like, they were about to have, like, a little, you know, after party. Rendezvous. Yeah, a little after party. And so they went back to the hotel, and he was, like, super adamant about having sex with the lights off. And she was like, no, like, I want to have the lights on. I need to see what's going on because we just met each other. Segregation in the day, integration at night. When segregation was the law, one mysterious Black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping on another world. Inside Charlie's place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it. You saw the KKK? Yeah, they were dressed up in their uniform.

I went back to the hotel and he was like super at me about having sex with the lights off and she was like no like i want to have the lights on i need to see what's going on because we just met each other i don't know you like that and he was just being really weird about turning the lights on so she got up turned the lights on and he had like all kind of crests and like bumps on his dick well not on his actual shaft but yeah around yeah that is horrifying yeah but you would have felt Damn, that's fucked up. You was really about to give that lady something. The package. Yeah. People be dirty and nasty like that too. Oh, my God. They don't have to give a fuck about other people. And you still want to have sex? He wanted to. Of course, and needless to say, I mean, she ended up leaving him there. Thank God. But thank God she was like, no, I'm turning the light on because I want to see what's going on. I'm surprised he didn't jump up and put his panties on. Jesus Christ. But yeah, but this was like a really, really long time ago. because my mama said this is like in the 80s something. She told me about that. And honestly that's even worse because they used to think everything was something deadly back then. I mean because HIV had just came out and they didn't really have you know. Well they just came out but they just were figuring out you know. In the 80s? I thought they had just hit like America. No? It was running rampant. Really? Christopher Columbus was passing around something. That dirty motherfucker. But I thought they was having syphilis. They had everything. Everything. That's what exactly what they have in the Ozarks. Okay. But yes, you have to be careful out here though. Especially on your first encounter, if somebody trying to be weird about turning the light down. I don't know. But like, I'm not really so much of a light person, but I like daytime sex. You do? Yeah. Fun. You know it's crazy. Yeah. You like daytime sex too? Yes. I don't know. It's something about night that just makes it more romantic. But I do catch myself having more daytime morning sex than night sex. So I feel like, honestly, at this age, like, we be tired. That thing over. We be going to bed. Like, I be like, when I get over there, I'm finna rock your world, daddy. I be over there knocked out. Morning sex be easy, too. All you gotta do is turn over, lift that leg good. Yeah, but I do feel like, but we get sitting in the morning now. We put in the work. So then you like daytime sex? I mean, I don't necessarily like, I prefer nighttime sex, but we have more daytime morning sex, but we still get it in. Because I feel like sometimes it's okay to kind of like lift it up just from the side. But I think that if you have too much morning sex, it tends to get repetitive and quick. Oh, because we got to go to work. We got to go to the gym. We got things to do. Yeah. I feel like when you have sex at night, it's like you get to take your time more, and it's more like, you know. But I do find myself having daytime sex more. I love a little daytime. Yeah. A little rendezvous, especially after brunch. Yeah. now midday sex I like you know what I'm saying like you just came over and we just getting to it just to do it let me call my man you gotta make them little daytime appointments yes and sometimes I don't care what nobody says we all love a good date night but sometimes you do need a Netflix and chill night yeah like sometimes you need a weekend where y'all just locked up in the house and y'all are just chilling ordering food or cooking and just watching movies and relaxing and fucking Yes, a marathon. I love a good sex-a-thon. Just fucking. Yeah. I've always said this, like, just know if I'm in a relationship with a man and, like, we break up and you start dating him after me, not that it matters, but just know we was fucking down. And any time I'm in a relationship, we be fucking down, bitch. Like, you are never going to be like, oh, did we? No, we be fucking down to the ground, to the down, down, down. Shout out to Big Sassy. Down! Baby! That's how I be feeling too. You got some big shoes for you Oh But like I don know I just think going back to the topic I just think that um darkness is not as intimate Like I think that when you can see somebody, y'all can make eye contact, and it's just more of a connection. Have you ever had sex with a cock-eyed man? Mm. Mm-mm. Why the fuck would you ask me that? Because I'm saying, sometimes people have a lazy eye, and they're trying to look at you eye-to-eye, and they're like, You've seen everybody that I've dated. I've never dated anybody cockeyed. Well, honestly, I don't really look... Well, you've seen everybody for the most part. Yeah. I mean, since we've been friends, everybody that I've dated, you've seen. I have, but I've never, like, looked them niggas in the eye, because sometimes you'll look at somebody... If a nigga got a cockeyed, you don't need to be close to see that. No, but sometimes they have an eye that'll drift off, and you don't think you would have caught that? Sometimes, no, because sometimes it'll be like this for a good five seconds, and then slowly it'll start to wander. Yeah. Don't ever wander. Don't? Okay. I don't think I have myself, but I don't know. I don't know. I don't think I have from what I know. I hadn't dated a guy that was cockeyed. You know, I'm a little cross-eyed. That's why I asked. No, you're not. I'm a little cross-eyed. Sometimes when... They get a little cross, especially when I was younger. Did you used to wear glasses? No. My eyes used to just be crossed. Like sometimes, especially now when I get a little drunk. But isn't that something for like corrective lenses? They don't need to be corrected. They all right. If they crossing, they might need a little correction. But it only happens now. A little straightening. When I have a little drink. Do you feel it? Like drifting? Sometimes it be too late when I notice it. Okay. Everything already been crossed up. No, I ain't never seen your eyes crossed. Because I done seen some crossed-eyed people. It's not bad, though. It's very faint. like if y'all notice like like if y'all make an AI picture of me AI gets in everything so my eye will be a little crossed but AI gonna cross them bitches you know what I'm saying they be like oh her eyes are crossed let's make sure they're crossed they be crossed a little bit to where the average eye can't really tell okay but AI the way it aligns it it's like oh she's cross eyed let's just go ahead and make them cross you know but that's alright it ain't that bad yeah cause I was gonna say I mean I've never noticed. I think the men that I've dated have noticed it. They've said something? Cool. Have they said, damn, you're all cocked like a fist. No, because they're not cocked. They're just like, it be sometimes when I'm like focusing on something. A little bit. Yeah. But it be like, well, you love, yeah, them eyes a little. That's all right, baby. No, I never know. But that slippery elm hit them where it hurts, so they don't care. What the fuck do the slippery elm got to do? that slippery el make they eyes cross so we just two cross-eyed motherfuckers i'm slow i thought you was saying like because it lubricate your eye socket too and it get it straight multiple uses yes but that's all right all right let's move on to the next topic now it's time to get into the bow. The bow. The bow. The bow. Bow. Bow. Bow, bow, bow. Okay, y'all. Y'all know the weather is starting to maybe warm up in a few weeks. You know, we're getting there. We are.

Okay. I turned it off. All right. All right. Okay, y'all. Let's get into our favorite segment of all. Pour your heart out. If you want your question answered on the show, make sure you email us at askpoormindsatgmail.com. Y'all keep it short, cute, and sweet. Okay. Period. Go ahead, Lil' Dre. Okay. I hope you ladies are doing great. You can call me Cherry because I don't want my name revealed, but I've been feeling conflicted about maintaining a relationship with my mother. When I was 17, I moved from my mother's house to my grandma's house due to the physical and mental abuse from my mom I became very distant and we didn't start talking again until I started dating my fiance in 2023 Then in December 2023, my grandmother passed away from pneumonia During this time, I found out that I was pregnant My mom sued me for my grandma's house and lost We physically fought She harassed me and told my grandmother and told me that my grandmother's death was my fault and she still haven't gotten my grandma a headstone yet and it's 2026. My grandma left her $50,000, by the way. Now I'm 23 and we do have a relationship and she's a good grandma, but it's just hard to let go of my anger of everything she's done to me. And I hate that I have to be the bigger person and let it go, especially since she's never going to apologize. Can y'all give me advice? You know, it's hard for me to give advice on situations like this just because I was blessed with an amazing mother. So a lot of times, like, when people talk about how their mom was their, like, first hater, their biggest enemy and stuff, like, I can't even comprehend that or understand that. But I will say I think that there is a space where you have very, very strong boundaries and you can still have a relationship. Because I don't want to say completely cut her off and then something happens and you would have wished that you had this type of relationship. because what I do see a lot is people have a strained relationship with their mother and somebody ends up passing away and they're like, damn, I wish we could have fixed things. You know what I'm saying? So I think that I can only give you so much advice, but I will say this is a relationship where you have to have very strong boundaries because anybody that soothes somebody when things get ugly, when people die and that shows their true side of who's coming for the money who is coming there to comfort you who really cares about your well-being so to me her suing her when her mother has passed away this is not this is her own mother and she was worried about going to court and things like that when she already got fifty thousand dollars I don't know something's not sitting right in the water with me with her so I think that just tread lightly um but you do have a child and you don't you do want to have um a child who gets to know their grandmother and things like that but i don't know it's very it's a very tricky thing it's a very tricky thing i know what you finna say i mean no surprise there i just feel like it don't matter who it is like if somebody is toxic you need to cut them off mother or not like and as far as like her child having a relationship with her grandma i wouldn't want my child to have no relationship with my mom if my mom treated me like that and was that way towards me because you're not a good person yeah yeah and i don't care if you're nice to my child and you're me and you have a different relationship i don't want my child around you because i don't know i just feel like somebody who will fight their own kid i don't know what you would be telling my kid about me when i'm leaving them in your possession you know what i mean or like letting you watch them and stuff as they get older i don't know what you might be telling them i just i don't know i think that no matter what position a person plays in your life if something don't feel right in your spirit cut them off and mother or not right and then also pay attention how you feel when you're around her do you feel like things are getting better do you feel how do you how does your nervous system feel around her and like like i said i do agree with dra to a certain extent it's like if it's not feeling good you know you can cut her off but i'm also in an area where like i said i've seen people be like damn my mom passed i wish i would have fixed things so i think that's something that you really have to sit down and listen to your body and how you feel around it you know it's very tricky because i don't know fighting is a different that's all about to say it's different when like you and your mom have a disagreement but like physically fighting that's just a little too much like that's toxic that's really really toxic yeah that's scary i was gonna recommend And family counseling, too. Yeah. If you feel like you want to kind of rebuild that relationship, try family counseling, because then you're in a safe space where both of you all can communicate and articulate how you feel, how you felt, how this person has made you feel in the past, where you're both looking to go in the relationship. And then you can, to your point, determine, do you still want this relationship? And do you want this person to be in your life? And that might be just a little helping hand to just set up that safe space for you to communicate how you feel. I agree. Yeah, girl, protect your peace. Because now you have more than just you to think about. You got to think about your child, too. Good luck, sister. All right, now to our Bottled Up segment. Y'all know we like to listen to y'all get things off of your chest. Just a quick 30 to 60 seconds. This is sponsored by our family at Taylorport. Shout out to our family at Taylorport. Y'all make sure if you're in Atlanta, y'all go to the Hawks game and visit the Taylorport bar. It is so nice. It is nice. Photo opportunity. We had a ball. Yes, we had a ball. So shout out to Taylor Port. Let's get into our bottled up. Don't y'all hate when y'all finally done with a nigga and hey, want to be like, oh, after all this time, after everything we've been through, you finally done? Yes, that's why I'm done, because after all that shit that you put me through, that I've been through, the pain that I endured, the tears, all of that stuff. Yeah, nigga, I'm done. I'm not about to keep going through that shit. It's time to elevate and update the fuck. amen sister and upgrade to a new nigga that's like they call that the rubber band theory what like when you pull away from a man and he just snapped back i don't want to do all that i don't i'm not for that in that playing game so and when you're when if you decide to cut a man off and all of a sudden he wants to act right and try to guilt trip you that is the biggest red flag because the man that really cares about you and loves you i'm not saying he's necessarily going to get it right the first time but change behavior is everything he would have been stopped before you would have got to that point of walking away okay moving on yeah i agree i mean and sometimes i do feel like people do really change agreed but a lot of the time more often than not niggas be being manipulated yeah one thousand percent it just reminds me a situation where i been like you really gonna walk away from me uh yeah i am watch me you know what i'm saying and i always say this it's some men that i've walked away from and i was just in awe of how much better my life got and i know it's easier said than done but i'm telling you you are i have never not once regretted walking away from a man never and don't warn niggas just walk away block that change your number i don't like i don't really give people warnings that i'm not talking to them no more because especially if i'm cutting you off for good i already done told you where you had me fucked up numerous times. So when I'm really walking away and not just saying it, because I think sometimes, too, women will say that they done with a nigga, but sometimes they'll say it because they want the reaction. They want him to react or they want him to get his shit together. But, like, I think when you really ready to walk away, I don't need to say nothing because I'm really done with you and I don't need you trying to convince me. And I'm...

When segregation was the law, one mysterious Black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping in another world. Inside Charlie's place, Black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it. You saw the KKK? Yeah. They were dressed up in their uniform.
