Give Us a Hi-FIve: Recap

[00:00:01] Speaker A: I'm Lila Rie. [00:00:02] Speaker B: And I'm Nick B. [00:00:03] Speaker A: Listen, we're just two single girls from the city of roses discussing all things love, lust, and perception. [00:00:09] Speaker B: And roses are a symbol of all things beautiful about love. [00:00:12] Speaker A: But as you know, love can get a little dirty. So we're here to talk about it. [00:00:16] Speaker B: Dirty Roses podcast starts now. [00:00:18] Speaker A: Hey, I'm Lila Ree. [00:00:20] Speaker B: And I'm Nick B. [00:00:21] Speaker A: And this is Dirty Roses Podcast season five. And we're back, bitches. [00:00:28] Speaker B: Welcome back. [00:00:29] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we did use that song for one of our. We did little riddles. Applicable, applicable, applicable. What'd she say? [00:00:37] Speaker B: Apple Lickable. [00:00:38] Speaker A: Oh, we like the lickable. I feel like some sexual type shit. Hey, get it. Get it. Okay. You'd have to watch to see the energy on that one, but I'm sure y'all felt that through your speakers. For those who are just listening, as you notice, we are in a similar set as last year, but we kind of dress it up a little bit. We got some new guys behind the cameras again because we rotate. We rotate our producers like we rotate men in our lives. At this point, we're habitually producer hoes. I don't know what that is. [00:01:11] Speaker B: A producer hoe. [00:01:12] Speaker A: We're a producer. That sounds some Diddy type stuff. [00:01:16] Speaker B: We don't want those allegations. [00:01:17] Speaker A: Baby oil. Anywho, we are back in the building. We've got our sets. We're doing good things. I need to stop moving away from my microphone because I feel myself doing it because I'm so, so excited to be back. But we are back in the space that is hosted and offered up to us by the Poetic justice foundation, which is this amazing organization that works on creating wealth in the black community by teaching about investments, about property purchasing, about just, like, investing money overall and making sound money decisions and business decisions. And so they do a variety of, like, workshops and offerings and mentorship and other things. But you can check them out and read about the whole mission, about how they do this through education, outreach, and action. But if you go to the poeticjusticefoundation.org you can read all about the mission. You can read all about how to contact them and sign up. You can even see their minutes, like, because, like, every 501C3 is supposed to, like, they have to report, share their minutes out from their meetings. And they have it on their website, which is really cool. It's very open, transparent. Yeah, so. But they also need your help in donations. So if you want to donate to them, go to the website. They have a link for their cash app, which is amazing because it offers the ability to help other community business owners and people do things and build your can. Yeah. You know. [00:02:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:41] Speaker A: Give what you can and put that you did it because of Dirty Roses podcast. You know, give us a little, little, little shout out there. You know, maybe they'll give us. Give us the space again, you know? But we are so thankful for them. So we are in our space. We're back. We're doing our recap episode we do every season, which is one of our favorites. [00:03:01] Speaker B: It is one of our favorites. [00:03:02] Speaker A: We love it. [00:03:02] Speaker B: One of our favorites. One of the best ways for you as a listener and viewer to catch up on anything you may have missed. I know sometimes it's easy to skip over an episode if the title doesn't sound like something that you might want to listen to, but trust me, every episode has something for everyone. And there are pieces that are funny, that are informal, informative, everything. [00:03:23] Speaker A: I was just triggered because you tapped the table. [00:03:25] Speaker B: I know. I'm doing. [00:03:27] Speaker A: Totally reminded me of our top episode from season one where our guest. [00:03:32] Speaker B: My brother. [00:03:33] Speaker A: Her brother. Okay, Tapped the table so much, the goddamn microphone fell off. Right. [00:03:37] Speaker B: He tapped it onto the floor. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Anytime she taps the table, I start shivering. [00:03:40] Speaker B: I should be channeling my inner brother. [00:03:43] Speaker A: It's genetic. It's hereditary, all those things. But anyways, so part of what we do is we talk about what's been new since last season, personally. [00:03:53] Speaker B: Oh, what's new? I mean, I'm dating. I feel like that's in the mean. I feel like that's implied. I mean, it's. It's soft dating. I can't even say. I can't even say that. It's hardcore dating. You know what I mean? [00:04:12] Speaker A: That's so porn discussion. [00:04:13] Speaker B: It's very pornographic. Pornographic dating is what's going on over here. My soft dating life consists of you trying to go out. Oh, no. You try and go out? Yeah. When? I don't know. Broke my ankle. [00:04:27] Speaker A: Oh, was that a thing? [00:04:29] Speaker B: Well, yeah. Like, have you ever had someone stand you up for a date because they, like, I don't know, maybe tore their. They died. [00:04:38] Speaker A: I actually died today, so I can't go out with you, but let's revisit this conversation. [00:04:42] Speaker B: They didn't revisit the conversation. [00:04:44] Speaker A: Realign myself. [00:04:45] Speaker B: Once they realized themselves. They still didn't rebook. [00:04:48] Speaker A: They still didn't. [00:04:49] Speaker B: But we still flirt, so that's why I say soft dating. You feel me? Like, we're not going anywhere, but we talk about it. We got Plans, no action. What about you? [00:05:00] Speaker A: We are gonna dive into all of that this season. So we're gonna find out about why men don't want to. [00:05:05] Speaker B: It boils down to some communication which you are going to hear about. [00:05:09] Speaker A: Yes. But yeah. So I have been dating. Dating, dating. [00:05:13] Speaker B: That's a hard iron chain. [00:05:14] Speaker A: That is a hard iron. I don't know why I did that. [00:05:17] Speaker B: That sound came from your soul. [00:05:18] Speaker A: It came from my soul. I've had a lot of failed dating. [00:05:22] Speaker B: Oh, why failed? [00:05:24] Speaker A: Because I'm new to it. And that's just what like, again, the podcast started because I was writing a book on all my friends that really fucked up dating stories and now I am. The chapters in the book that still hasn't came out yet because I keep adding to it at this point. [00:05:39] Speaker B: At this point, it's gonna be a trilogy. Just start with book one and then we'll add on additional books. [00:05:45] Speaker A: So chapter one, traveling for dates. [00:05:48] Speaker B: Do you like that? Has that been working for you? Has it been exciting for you? [00:05:51] Speaker A: Well, dating, period, hasn't been working for me. One Traveling for dates is inexpensive. No. So as we remember a few seasons, like with last season, last season, long distance dating. Long distance dating, we talked about that. But even before that, when we talked about me getting flew out. You did. So we learned that getting flew out was not all that it was cracked out to be. So we decided that Lee wasn't going to take food out dates anymore because there was a lot of obligations and things that came along with it that never panned out. [00:06:19] Speaker B: I mean, there's a lot of expectations, period. [00:06:21] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, especially when you travel for dates because it's like you travel for me all the way across the country because I don't date nearby either. [00:06:29] Speaker B: Do you ever feel like in flying out to meet someone that you just have to go extra hard and be extra, extra? [00:06:37] Speaker A: Like, do you feel like you can. [00:06:38] Speaker B: Just be calm in yourself or you have to always be on? [00:06:40] Speaker A: I think I calmed myself down. So first couple trips I got flew out, right? So I got flew out to various places, had dates, they went awry. That was me putting my trust in somebody else, planning activities that didn't go well. So then I ventured into, I'm going to find a way to get myself to the date and I'm going to plan it because I'm a planner and I want men to feel seen and heard and all these things. And I want men to feel special. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna take the initiative and I'm gonna plan the dates still went awry. And then I decided to venture out where not necessarily use my own money. I had a credit and I go and I'm like, no expectation. I'm not planning, I'm not gonna pay for it. I'm not gonna credit let them think that they're gonna plan something and it's still. Still goes awry. So at this point, I don't know. I don't. [00:07:36] Speaker B: You don't have the formula yet? [00:07:37] Speaker A: I don't have the formula. I'm not gonna say I'm not gonna do it because I like taking trips and I get to go on dates with her when my dates go bad. [00:07:44] Speaker B: So PSA for anybody who would like to date Ms. Lila Ri. You can date her anywhere in the DMV area which would be DC, MD or Virginia. Therefore, if your date does not pan out, she, she has a place to stay and a backup date which will be better than yours and seeing the right scene. [00:08:07] Speaker A: No, but seriously, I think what I have learned is a, I don't think I'm going to pay for any more fly out dates. Like I think that yes, I'm the expectations. If you, if we're talking long distance, you are absolutely going to pay for me to get out there because I'm not paying for a bad date. [00:08:22] Speaker B: Right. [00:08:22] Speaker A: So I've done all of the above and I've learned, yes, you're going to pay. However, my expectations are going to change a little bit and my backup plan is going to be full action. Right. And I'm going to over communicate my wants and needs. Even though I think I do a really good job of that. They just fall short. They do. East coast men do better. [00:08:41] Speaker B: Oh, let's move on from that. What else is new? [00:08:45] Speaker A: What else is new? We have gone to a podcast festival. [00:08:49] Speaker B: It was amazing. [00:08:49] Speaker A: In North Carolina. That was dope. [00:08:51] Speaker B: It was great. I had a long drive. Listen. I didn't realize the drive from Northern Virginia to Charlotte was as long as. As it is in my head. I was like smooth, three and a half hours easy. I feel like I drove for six days, stopped for an hour, drove another 10 before I actually arrived. It was a long drive like Jesus. [00:09:13] Speaker A: Sent the flood or God sent the flood and the flood dried up and you were. [00:09:16] Speaker B: It was a long drive, but I was happy to make it. I was happy to be there. It was well thought out. [00:09:20] Speaker A: It was shout out to empowered podcasting because it was a dope very. Our very first experience going to a podcast event. We're new to podcasting we're still considered new. It's been a little over a year going on. We're going on two years now. Right? Going into two years. [00:09:35] Speaker B: Let me just tell you because she just said that we were new to going to these conferences. So what we first realized is that I think we were overdressed for the conference. We both in our heads, heard this is a podcast conference and we came business casual. We're the only ones in some dresses with some little button ups, some heels. Some heels. Everybody else is in their product T shirts and jeans and, you know, we're just looking like we were at the wrong meeting for one. Okay. And then the second thing I think we learned from that was, well, at least I know I messed up. I mistook one of the presenters as the photographer for the whole event. [00:10:17] Speaker A: And I was so listen, about podcast conferences. Everybody's making content. [00:10:22] Speaker B: Everybody's making content. [00:10:23] Speaker A: Everybody has professional grade equipment. And here we are walking around our little name tags and our kitten heels, trying to fit in, not knowing who's who. [00:10:31] Speaker B: But we knew we had a group photo that was supposed to be taking place. And this man is walking around with his very professional camera. Not no iPhone, not no doing some basic content stuff. Like he's got legit equipment. Equipment. Okay. So I'm thinking to myself, self, clearly that is the hired photographer for this event. And clearly he must know when this group photo is supposed to take place. So I'm just as, you know, obliviously as I can be. Excuse me, Excuse me, sir, sir, do you know what, what time are we supposed to be gathering? When is that? He's like, ma'am, you just fucked up my reel. [00:11:09] Speaker A: That's what you did. You messed up my conversation. Alive. [00:11:12] Speaker B: My bad. [00:11:14] Speaker A: But no, it was an absolutely fun event. We learned a whole lot. We absolutely had plans on going to another one very soon. So we are super excited to do this networking, get out there, learn more, do this, what we're doing now, but do it even better. So every season are we able to. [00:11:27] Speaker B: Say where we're going to for our next event? [00:11:28] Speaker A: We're going to Afros and Audios and we're actually gonna be participating as volunteers. So maybe by the time that this airs will already have gone. But we are absolutely excited it's gonna be in Baltimore. The people that are putting this event on are, are amazing. We've heard like, this is like one of the like it places to go for podcasting. [00:11:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:46] Speaker A: So we're gonna learn a lot. We're gonna be in the mix. We're volunteering. We're helping out. We're gonna get to meet people and network and learn and do all these fun things. So we're super excited. Yes. Yeah, it's gonna just make every season get better. So we're excited about that.

[00:14:43] Speaker B: Okay, let me tell you, first of all, the weather in September is just perfect. Listen, on the water there were at least four to five local black owned vendors. I believe everybody was black. [00:14:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I know for sure. They were local wineries. Wineries, yes. [00:14:58] Speaker B: Yes. [00:14:58] Speaker A: So they had the. I think it was like five wineries that had a whole plethora of different wines. You got to get free tastings from every single winery of all the wines that they had available. And then you have the option to buy. So we bought quite a few bottles. We were drunk. I was really drunk. If y'all saw a lot, you saw the real. [00:15:16] Speaker B: She was just tongue out. [00:15:20] Speaker A: That's how you know. That's how you know I'm drunk. If you see my videos once, I think a guy that I was talking to pointed this out, that he's like, well, there goes that tongue. I was like, yeah, my tongue is short. Which is always sad. It's really sad. [00:15:31] Speaker B: No, but it was great. No, the, the drinks were on par. The food was amazing. Cigar, they had a little cigar station. So if you're into cigars like I am, I know Lee is too. They had great vendors for cigars. They had a little hookah lounge set up on stage. They had multiple DJs and highlighted guest bands. It was, it was a vibe. [00:15:52] Speaker A: It was a whole vibe. So we actually got a tent. So we. I heard about the event. I told Nick B. And Nick B. Rounded up six additional people. So we got eight people with our tent. [00:16:02] Speaker B: I have friends. [00:16:03] Speaker A: Hey, friends. My new friends. But it was fun. There was lots of think there's about 3,000 people that showed up. There was tons of VIP tents. But we absolutely are making this an annual thing now. So if anybody wants to go to Baltimore with us in September of this year, hit us up. It'll be a whole. We got the girls. We got the girls gifts. We have shirts that'll be. We'll show them later on this season. We. It was nice. So Anyways, and the guy who put the event on, he's actually going to be a guest. [00:16:33] Speaker B: Yes, yes. [00:16:34] Speaker A: We're going to be welcoming Uncle E, who put on the event. He'll be a guest later. [00:16:39] Speaker B: He's got a great show. You guys are going to want to listen into that one. He gives some great inside thoughts. I'll leave it there so you can make sure you tune in to hear. [00:16:48] Speaker A: What those thoughts are. But we will. We'll name the title in a second. So anything else that you want to share before we dip and dive into our recap of last season? [00:16:55] Speaker B: No, I think. I think we covered everything. [00:16:57] Speaker A: We did. Okay, well, let's. [00:16:59] Speaker B: Let's dive. Let's do it. [00:17:00] Speaker A: Let's see. [00:17:00] Speaker B: Oh. What? [00:17:01] Speaker A: I do have one thing that they didn't add. [00:17:03] Speaker B: What? [00:17:03] Speaker A: I have a stalker. [00:17:05] Speaker B: She does. Okay. So that's a new development. So can you tell me a little bit about your stalker? [00:17:10] Speaker A: So my stalker was from a flew out trip. [00:17:12] Speaker B: This is why she has a stalker because evidently she's good company. She is an overachiever. [00:17:23] Speaker A: No complaints. Yeah. So I absolutely came home one day to flowers on my doorstep. [00:17:30] Speaker B: So beautiful. [00:17:30] Speaker A: They were very nice with balloons. Flowers and balloons. Thinking of you. [00:17:36] Speaker B: Thinking of you. [00:17:36] Speaker A: Think the balloons have thinking of you. The card catch. [00:17:39] Speaker B: What's the catch? [00:17:41] Speaker A: The catch was I never gave the man my address. [00:17:43] Speaker B: Okay. That's some straight stalker. If you're listening. Cuz I know you listen. Stalker. Don't. Don't do that. If you don't have the girl's addy, don't send her things just so I. [00:17:54] Speaker A: To be fair, if I like you in that way. Absolutely. Send me stuff. [00:17:59] Speaker B: If I didn't give you my address, don't send me. [00:18:04] Speaker A: I'm toxic. But I wholeheartedly have given all of my friends his information in case I come up missing. So you heard it here first. If I come up missing, which is. [00:18:16] Speaker B: A great segue into another episode that we've got coming up. We're already talking about episodes we haven't talked about. Recapped. [00:18:22] Speaker A: Okay. [00:18:22] Speaker B: Did. [00:18:22] Speaker A: Let's recap last season. [00:18:24] Speaker B: Yes. Let's get to it. [00:18:25] Speaker A: We had a recap episode to recap. [00:18:28] Speaker B: We had a recap. [00:18:29] Speaker A: So we're not gonna talk about the recap episode. Gotta listen to it. But we had. Okay, so our next episode was I'm a Survivor, which was with Yolanda Merryweather and Kenyatta Trice. [00:18:37] Speaker B: Yes. [00:18:38] Speaker A: Who were both DV survivors, but they were hosting an event and they wanted to come on the show and talk about it. So we were like, that's actually. We've never tapped on that subject. It was a very tough subject to get through with some very hard stories. [00:18:49] Speaker B: It was. It could have been very triggering. So that may have been an episode you missed. If that was a title that you read and you were like, you know what? I can't. We understand. We definitely understand. But if it is something that you can manage to bring yourself to listen to. There was a lot of really good information and resources to help women and honestly, men too, because we're not gonna act like men don't go through domestic violence also. But it was a really good. [00:19:11] Speaker A: And they had good educational episode. We had lots of laughs and giggles. We had some. Some drinks. Yeah, the fruit was hitting, man. [00:19:17] Speaker B: The fruit was hidden. [00:19:19] Speaker A: You know, when you put the fruit in your drink, it's hitting, right? But it was a good episode. They had a beautiful. So they ended up having their event and it was very nice. They honored some DV survivors. They got them fitted with clothes, makeovers, gifts. They had a nice brunch. And then they got to be like, celebrated for their journey, their successes, all those things. So it was a very beautiful event. Congratulations to those ladies. They're still doing stuff. So we can even, like, list what they're doing on our social media. [00:19:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Please check our page for more information, especially if you're looking for resources and tools. If you're dealing with any issues surrounding domestic violence yourself, we got you. [00:19:53] Speaker A: Absolutely. The next episode. DJ Price Miyagi. [00:19:58] Speaker B: Listen, I didn't know the man was a liar. Okay? [00:20:01] Speaker A: I didn't know. [00:20:02] Speaker B: I didn't know. [00:20:03] Speaker A: She's so hurt. He is absolutely a content creator. I'm being shit stick starter. He is absolutely going to say some stuff to get y'all like, what the. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Right. [00:20:13] Speaker A: We talked about the list. [00:20:14] Speaker B: We talked about the list. And we also talked about how he liked to have bald headed naked sex at his house. You said it, not me, sir. [00:20:20] Speaker A: So he also said that hoes give the best dating advice. [00:20:23] Speaker B: They did. He did say that. [00:20:24] Speaker A: He said first dates are at his house only. [00:20:27] Speaker B: Exclusively, right? [00:20:29] Speaker A: Yeah. But we talked about the list, which was very heavy last year. Like with the whole. Yeah. [00:20:33] Speaker B: Going around with the cheese. You guys remember the Cheesecake Factory list of places? Places you will not go on a first date. So we. We dove into that with him. You know what I'm saying? First of all, because there's nothing wrong with brown bread. With which one? [00:20:46] Speaker A: Brown bread. [00:20:46] Speaker B: I'm saying the brown bread. But I was actually gonna look at The Reese's Pieces cheesecake slice you have. [00:20:53] Speaker A: Okay, so. Yeah, so the list of episode was really good. No, it was fun. He was a very good. [00:20:58] Speaker B: Yeah, he was a good guest. He was a lot of fun. Honestly. It's one of those episodes where you can believe it or not, we'll never know the truth. It was still a fun episode and got lots of good laughs out of it. [00:21:08] Speaker A: So you'll enjoy the next one. One of our most controversial episodes last season only because of the clips we posted on a social media from it. It was open relationships with yet another toxic ass family member of hers. [00:21:21] Speaker B: Evidently, I have a lot of toxicity in my family. You know what it is? What it is. Shout out bang gang. Okay? That's what we do. So my cousin was absolutely on the show with his wife, I believe was her. They were engaged at the time. [00:21:35] Speaker A: They're engaged. They're still engaged. They have not gotten married yet. It's. [00:21:39] Speaker B: I don't know that that's the public knowledge. [00:21:42] Speaker A: They posted it. They said that they were engaged and they were gonna, you know, get married soon. [00:21:48] Speaker B: Okay, all right. Well, they're still engaged then. Yeah, but he calls her wife. And that's why I was confused. [00:21:54] Speaker A: You're ruining this show right now. [00:21:56] Speaker B: Go. Just go. Just go. I'm part of that toxic bang gang. [00:21:59] Speaker A: Family to a pair of shoes that he'd like to try on. So Snubby and Shawnee were our guests, so they very much went live about their open relationship. So they've been in a relationship for a very long time. So they absolutely call it to their wifey husband husband. But I know they were getting married. They were engaged at the time of our episode. So they came on and talked about the dynamics of their relationship, how it is open, but really only open on his side. So he sucks. And whoever he wants to, she chooses not to per her choice and how she explains it. However, y'all was not buying that. Y'all went. [00:22:34] Speaker B: You guys went in on the comments. [00:22:35] Speaker A: Y'all went in. I'm so thankful that they have tough skin that they're able to laugh about it because y'all went in. [00:22:41] Speaker B: Honestly, it was an interesting episode in the sense that they at least for they explained their version of what open relationship is versus polyamorous relationships. And so it was kind of nice to get a better understanding of the difference between those two. And honestly, you know what? If you like it, I love it. It's your relationship that's really kind of where. Where that relationship with that episode ended is you know they shared what works for them. And I think that's really what matters most in really. If it works for you, it works for you. [00:23:11] Speaker A: Yeah. We learned a lot about their sex life, which was interesting. I learned a few new things that I didn't know about and I forgot what it was called where they said they put the little prod inside the penis urethra and do stuff. It was a whole thing and it hurt my vagina because I. Even though I don't have a penis, it just felt like it hurt. But anyways, I learned a lot. I learned a lot of what I'm not educational. I'm not going to do it, but it sounded interesting. Next one, Self love with Coach Kathy. So Coach Kathy is actually my life coach. I'm trying to fix myself like you, Yannla. I'm trying to get my shit together. Divorce is hard. Divorce fucking sucks. Being a black woman doing the work that we do in general is fucking hard. Being a single mom is hard. Trying to venture out and do new things like a podcast is fucking hard. So, yes, I have a whole life coach. I find that my life coaches. I like my life coach better than therapy right now. I think I do need therapy. Therapy. Because what she explained was life coaching is more forward thinking and therapy is more dealing with past traumas. So for me in my current space right now, it's helpful to be before thinking and talk about what I need to work on moving forward. Yeah, I know what my traumas are. I know what triggers I have. I know what I'm working with. I need to know how to get past that to do stuff. Right. So she's been helping me with that. But she came on and she gave some really good, some great advice. Yeah. [00:24:32] Speaker B: Flip side, I've never had a life coach, but I do have therapists. I've worked with therapists in the past. So it was also interesting to just sort of understand that there is a difference because I wasn't quite sure what the difference was between a life coach and a therapist and how that all worked. So Lee and I both working on ourselves, which we recommend everybody take time to do, self work, self reflection in whichever direction and whatever spectrum you choose to start that may it be from the beginning or from the present. Going forward. It's always good to kind of dive into how you got to where you are and how you're going to move forward. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Absolutely. [00:25:06] Speaker B: So her episode was great. Realized that gasoline and grass does it for me. In fact, I showed Lee Laree there was an episode where I talked about rolling around on a hill in some grass with a guy. [00:25:16] Speaker A: So let me tell you this. Okay, so hold on, hold on. So let me tell you this. So Nick B. Has explained that she really, really enjoys the smell of fresh cut grass and gasoline. It like turns her buttons moist. You know what I'm saying? [00:25:30] Speaker B: I never said that. That's extreme. [00:25:31] Speaker A: I'm adding it, I'm adding that. But it does, it turns around. So first dates, take it to a gas station, roll around in grass. Anyways, long story long. She told a story about how she went on a date and after the date they were walking around. They're kind of like, let's sit here. And then somehow they magically ended up rolling down this hill. Now when she described this story to me, I wholeheartedly envisioned like this meadowy giant field of FL flowers and grass. It was scenic. It was like this beautiful, like romantic, but childlike. [00:25:58] Speaker B: It was right on Highway 26. [00:26:00] Speaker A: Listen, we were driving down a busy street and this was like, this was. [00:26:03] Speaker B: Like there's the hill outside of an olive. [00:26:06] Speaker A: No, I'm going to paint this picture for you. Imagine four way highway. Imagine a corporate like promenade like building where there's like many multiple business offices. They have like the fountain out front, they have the grass that to the parking lot. She absolutely pointed to the grassy knoll that led to the parking lot in front of the fountain that shoots up in front of the door to the business complex. [00:26:34] Speaker B: I can't help but grass was greener on that side of the hill. [00:26:39] Speaker A: They absolutely rolled in grass. [00:26:41] Speaker B: He liked it. You know things that you do at like 1 o'clock in the morning after. [00:26:43] Speaker A: Which really makes makes me feel weird, like why are you single if all they need to do is roll around in grass next to a freeway? [00:26:49] Speaker B: I'm just saying because sometimes you just haven't found the one, the right one to roll in the grass with. I'm looking, I'm looking. If you that man, I'm gonna drop my Instagram info at the end of. [00:26:58] Speaker A: The grass, just flip her with some gasoline and roll down the hill. It works. Next episode, HBCU Life. So both Nick B. And I went to HBCUs, both in the South. Yes. And we both had. I had a young lady that I mentored that went to an hbcu. You have a cousin who you is your cousin, but she also, you mentor her, you know what I'm saying? Like you're a big cousin, a big sister, big mentor. So we actually had a chance to invite them back because it was during the holidays. [00:27:26] Speaker B: They were home. So they had finished their first semester of school, and we really wanted to find out how they were doing, check up on them. You know, this is their first time. Well, not for both, but they're both away from home. Yeah. My cousin, it was her first semester in school, so it's an adjustment. It's a change not only just from coastlines and cultures, but finally being an adult without having an adult say, you need to pick up your room or make sure you're studying, but it's on you to manage your success and checking in to see how they're doing. [00:27:55] Speaker A: Yeah. And it was nice. So it was your cousin's first semester. It was the young lady who I mentored. It was like her second year. Yeah. And it was just fun, a. Because we got to reminisce about our college life, talked about a lot of stories, frat parties, dating, things that happened. And we got to hear how it's changed. Like, it's been decades, which I'm aging ourselves. But it's been a while since we've been in college. And it was nice to hear that things were somewhat the same, which was a good foundation for what HBCU life is like anyways, but also to hear their perspectives of. Of what's going on and just to check in with our girls. It was fun. [00:28:30] Speaker B: It was a good episode. [00:28:31] Speaker A: I love them. The next one. Hot topics. So we just discussed. [00:28:34] Speaker B: Hot topics is one of my favorites, actually. [00:28:36] Speaker A: We talked about some good stuff. [00:28:38] Speaker B: We did. We dove into a couple things that. I don't know if you pay attention to many reels or things that are going on just on Instagram or Facebook or wherever they may be, where it's talking about things that are trending. May that be bbls or may that be women proposing to men, or does size matter? Well, listen, listen. We talked about it all and in great depth. Emphasis on the th. On the th. You'll hear that th come through this season okay. [00:29:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:08] Speaker B: But it was a great episode. Just to kind of break down our thoughts on some of the things that we've seen and give our opinions. And it was fun. Per usual. [00:29:18] Speaker A: We learned a lot about what we prefer. [00:29:20] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. We have some strong preferences on this show. And to the left of me, maybe you're right, depending on how you're looking at it. But this one here, Size matters. [00:29:29] Speaker A: Absolutely. [00:29:30] Speaker B: She doesn't care if she likes you. She doesn't care if she loves you. Size matters. And you will be eliminated if your size doesn't meet the qualifications. [00:29:40] Speaker A: Listen, all I'm saying is we talked about this on sexual compatibility. Yeah. From season one or two. I forget. I can't even. [00:29:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it was. [00:29:47] Speaker A: Anyways, on that episode, it talks about no matter how much you like a person person, you. If you're not sexually compatible, there's going to be an aspect of you that is not going to be in the relationship, and that also leads to venturing out. Like, for a lot of people, I've got to be compatible with you in all areas. So if we're vibing and we're feeling each other and it's a great conversation and we have fun together. [00:30:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:10] Speaker A: And you don't measure up, then we're really good friends. [00:30:13] Speaker B: And to be clear, by measure up, she needs bolo. Okay. You can't just to be average guy. [00:30:19] Speaker A: You sound like, I have no walls at this point. You make it sound like I have. Like, at this point, like we're throwing hot dogs in hallways. You made it sound like, meanwhile, this. [00:30:27] Speaker B: One will take me nothing to you. [00:30:28] Speaker A: She'll take a roll of pennies. [00:30:30] Speaker B: I said, I do not like clickety clacks. I made it very clear that she. [00:30:33] Speaker A: Wants to bump vaginas with her. Okay. [00:30:36] Speaker B: And if you have a micro penis that's kind of on the lines of lesbian sex, I don't want it because that's not what my preference is. [00:30:43] Speaker A: Listen, Youngin may holla at me. I mean, I'll be a pillow princess. Next episode. I actually love this next episode. Loving music with Mighty. Yeah, I love Mighty. Okay. [00:30:56] Speaker B: It's just a ball of energy, first of all. [00:30:58] Speaker A: A little ball of energy. We love him. So to give a little backstory, I was in radio. And so when I moved back home, I was doing a show at Mountain Community College. They had a radio station up there. So I was doing my own show, and I did highlights of local rappers. So a guy that worked at the college came to the studio when I was there one day and was like, hey, I've got this guy. He's about to be on bet. He's doing this whole little, you know, documentary, the Road to bet. He's like, you got to play his music. So I played it. This was back, like, I'm talking about 2009, maybe. Maybe 2010. But I absolutely played his music. I liked it. I followed him. I added him on social media once I found him, and I just kind of followed his career that way. We knew of each other just from social media. We ran into each other. We Spoke in public places. But it was never really like, a connection of, like, I know you, you know me. We, you know, we rocking, whatever, right? But I absolutely supported his music. And then I learned more about him, about doing his laced up PDX where he's giving kids shoes and families, like, clothes and back to school supplies and all kinds of things. Found out he was an artist. So we later connected due to the kind of work that I do for my day job, which is in the community. And I asked him to be on the show, and he came on and he was absolutely. Blew our minds. He is great. [00:32:16] Speaker B: I think so. Obviously, his musical background is beyond impressive, but I think what I was most impressed with was his philanthropy, like his involvement in the community and his. His passion for giving back. It shines. Okay. And he's able to highlight his music through his passion of also giving back. He's a dope guy. Check out his episode if you haven't already. [00:32:36] Speaker A: He's got a story. So it's mighty at. It's mighty on social media, just with. It's with a Z. But we'll tag him because we love mighty. And he gave us a whole freestyle. [00:32:46] Speaker B: Check out the freestyle in that episode. You got to hear it because we. We cool. [00:32:50] Speaker A: You know, we. We got bars, too every now and then. Nick B's freestyled on our show, too. Different area codes with India David. So we've both known India forever. I've known her for a little bit longer because we were little, little kids. We were in girl Scouts together. That was like, I'm, you know, as. You know, we're both biracial, if you couldn't tell. But India gave me my full black family experience. Like, I would go to her house, it would be like 85 cousins over there, and we're running around the streets. We playing hide and go get it with all the friends in the neighborhood. We. It. I loved going to her house. Like, I absolutely love going to her house. It was like, her mom is my second mom. I loved it. But India was. [00:33:30] Speaker B: Sorry, I'm cracking up. Because you were playing hide and go get it with cousins. Not. Not real cousins. But my family was playing tag with the cousin that couldn't leave the front porch because he was on house arrest. So, I mean, same thing, different picture. The cousin who couldn't leave the porch was always it because of ankle monitor. [00:33:48] Speaker A: Funny story. So Darian hide and go get it. One year we were in her basement, and I suck at hide and seek. I have really bad anxiety. I've had Anxiety since I was a kid. I don't like hiding. I don't like that anticipation right here. So I absolutely want to be got by her brothers because they're fucking fine. I had a big crush on them when I was a kid, Both of them. But I didn't know where to hide. I suck at a fucking hide and seek. I hid in a dirty pile of clothes. [00:34:16] Speaker B: Ew. [00:34:17] Speaker A: And her brother who was on your floor, her brother who was the one that was it. I just. I was like, he's gonna find me. Yes. He ran into me because he was walking and I was under the pile of clothes, and he kicked me. He was like, whoever the fuck this is, I'm just gonna leave you there and act like I did not, because that's fucking disgusting. Like, he literally was talking to me about how disgusting I was, and I was so humiliated. Even though he didn't know who it was me, because it was dark and it was a pile of dirty clothes in my face. [00:34:44] Speaker B: Oh, my God. So when you had shit stained draws on your face. I probably did. [00:34:48] Speaker A: I probably did. So when everybody was time for everybody to come out, I casually slid from the clothes and, like, tried to, like, army crawl from around the wall so no one saw me because I didn't want her brother to know that I was the one with dirty under on my face. [00:35:07] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:35:07] Speaker A: So, India, I don't know if you knew that story or not. Oh, my God. [00:35:11] Speaker B: But now the brother knows who we kicked. [00:35:14] Speaker A: What up, bro? It was me. I was trying to get gat, but I was that one. I was dirty. But India is, like this global marketing exec with a very high corporate job, and she travels a lot. And so we got to talk. Talk to her about her preferences in dating, how she handles dating in different area codes in different states. As we know, I don't like dating in my area code, so I could relate a lot to it, but probably not on her level because I'm not jet setting the way she's jet setting. But we had a lot in common. We tried to convince Nick B. To start dating. That for me, try to get fluid out. [00:35:49] Speaker B: Then I will just have to fly myself. [00:35:52] Speaker A: Anyways, love that episode. Love India. Hey, boy. The last episode was the Reunion. So as you know, McBee and I have known each other since middle school. So we pulled together a few of our middle school friends that we could just kind of rehash our childhood, which apparently what we have learned is unlike any other childhood in any state in the U.S. like, apparently Oregonians in port. We did. So that episode had a lot of bleeps, a lot of pauses, a lot of mutes, because we absolutely identify everybody by their first and last name. Like, you're not just Nick B. You're Nicole Bain. [00:36:30] Speaker B: So I feel like as adults, we nickname people, right? We give them code names because we're not trying to use their full name. But for whatever reason, in the era that we grew up, you are your entire government name. You were first and last name. And I didn't realize how much we did it until listening back to the episode. And it was everybody's first and last name. As though identifying them by just their first wasn't good enough to know who we were talking about. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Because you could say a name, like, you could have, like, a very unique name. Like our friend Tishanna who was on the show, right? She wasn't just Tishanna. She was Teshanna Strickland. You know what I'm saying? But everybody knew Tashana. But it felt like if you said Tishana, they'd be like, tishana who? And you'd be like, Tashana Strickland. And she'd be like, oh. So anyways, we were joined by Jaron, John, Ngoom Ngoom and Tashana. [00:37:14] Speaker B: Yes. [00:37:14] Speaker A: Funny story about John. If you listen to our very first episode, season one episode. [00:37:18] Speaker B: That's one E one. [00:37:19] Speaker A: John is my White Boy, My first Kiss. You gotta go back and listen to the story. But he will not let me live it down. He was so excited to come on the show and tell everybody that that was the face that I kissed on the bus in D.C. on our eighth grade class trip. [00:37:32] Speaker B: That was him. [00:37:33] Speaker A: We talked about our drug dealing dare officer. We talked about the teacher who drove the hearse to school. [00:37:40] Speaker B: Yes, we did. [00:37:40] Speaker A: We talked about our Spanish names in our Spanish classes. [00:37:44] Speaker B: And evidently some didn't go to any Spanish, didn't go to any foreign language class, because she just didn't get the memo. [00:37:52] Speaker A: She needed to go, I'm telling you. But we had a really good time. And what we found out from other people that did not live in our state, go to our school, that they really enjoyed that episode. They got to know us on a very, very deep level as far as our childhood connections, why we are the way we are. It was nice. [00:38:07] Speaker B: Yeah. I had a really good friend reach out and like, man, I feel like I went to school with you guys. And so it's. It's nice to hear that people were able to relate, even if it was something that they didn't experience firsthand. [00:38:18] Speaker A: Absolutely. Well, this brings us to what we got coming up this season. [00:38:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:23] Speaker A: Do we want to go into this season just yet or do we want to do some listener letters? [00:38:25] Speaker B: Let's take a pause and do some listener letters because those are fun. [00:38:29] Speaker A: Okay, Yours first. Wanna do mine? [00:38:30] Speaker B: Oh, let's start with yours. [00:38:32] Speaker A: Okay. So we put a call out there. You know, we tell people if you want to get some advice, get our input on something, you can absolutely email us at dirtyroses letters. That's all with the s dirtyroseslettersmail.com you can even inbox us, DM us, whatever. However you want to reach us is fine. But that's reachable. That's an official way, right? We're being official. But you can email us with the a story or something that says what you want advice on. You can also give us dating stories or whatever else it is. But we absolutely got a very interesting listen that I've got to read. Are you ready? [00:39:06] Speaker B: I am now. Let me make sure I understand. Are we. Does this letter want feedback or simply. [00:39:11] Speaker A: They want advice. [00:39:12] Speaker B: They want advice. [00:39:12] Speaker A: Okay. Hey, ladies. My partner and I in our mid-20s and are exploring some new things in the bedroom. She's really into belly buttons. [00:39:23] Speaker B: Hold up. What? Belly buttons with lint. [00:39:27] Speaker A: Lints, innies, outies. She just likes belly buttons. [00:39:31] Speaker B: Keep going. Let me hear better. [00:39:32] Speaker A: Okay. Especially mine because it's an Audi. [00:39:37] Speaker B: If that was in she ain't with it. [00:39:40] Speaker A: I feel like she probably would be. Okay, we're gonna continue. It's an outie. She wants to try things like licking, kissing, and even blowing raspberries on. If you don't know what raspberries are, they are zerberts. They're belly farts. Whatever you want to call them. But it's absolutely where you blow on your arm and you make that farting sound or well, in this case, you blow on your belly. It's what you do to little kids. [00:40:01] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like I think people have. [00:40:02] Speaker A: Done that with babies. Yeah, it's like it makes them giggle. But she wants to do this to his belly button. Says, I'm open to trying new things, but I'm also a little nervous because I have sensitive skin and I've always been a bit self conscious about my Audi. Now Audis are normal. And what I've also learned, and I don't know if this is racially related, but I noticed that a lot of black people have outies and white people have guineas. I've heard theories that the doctors didn't want to get too close when cutting the umbilical cord. [00:40:32] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:40:33] Speaker A: I don't know if it's true or not, but it's an observation. So I'm going to give these people racial identities. I feel like she's white and he's black. [00:40:41] Speaker B: Okay. Because now we have a visual. [00:40:44] Speaker A: Have a visual. I also feel like if he's self conscious about his Audi, I feel like he might have had a herniated belly button. My little brother had a herniated belly button for a while that had to have surgery. And things like when you cut the umbilical cord, sometimes they don't. Just doesn't shrink down. And your belly button is a little bit more protruded than a regular outie. [00:41:03] Speaker B: This is still in the letter? [00:41:04] Speaker A: No, but I'm just. I'm guessing I'm. You know how we create stories. Okay. [00:41:08] Speaker B: I'm trying to understand. [00:41:09] Speaker A: Let me create a visual. Okay. He's got a fucking giant out. [00:41:11] Speaker B: Okay. Black outing. [00:41:12] Speaker A: Black giant. [00:41:13] Speaker B: A white fetish, guys. [00:41:14] Speaker A: Yes, absolutely. I'm not sure how to talk to her about my concerns and I also want to make sure I'm reciprocating and exploring things that she might enjoy with her any belly button. See, she hasn't any Black Audi. [00:41:29] Speaker B: White fetish. Continue. [00:41:30] Speaker A: Okay. We also curious about other fun and safe ways to play with our belly buttons, maybe even incorporating food or other sensations. Could you guys do a podcast episode on belly button play and address some of these questions? We'd love to hear your thoughts and advice. Thanks, Anonymous. So if you hear me, I don't know. He has an Audi. [00:41:54] Speaker B: Okay. [00:41:55] Speaker A: She wants to suck and his Audi. She wants to blow raspberries. She wants to lick and kiss it and caress it. And then he wants to then reciprocate the love to her. Any. I don't know if that means sticking his Audi in her. In like I can. Can you. Can you imagine? [00:42:09] Speaker B: I mean, would you just be like the love of the level of. [00:42:13] Speaker A: Of belly. [00:42:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:16] Speaker A: Not dicks and clicks. No belly outies and any. It's like perfect. It's like a perfect situationship with them. [00:42:23] Speaker B: So they don't even have to have sex. They can just bump bellies. [00:42:26] Speaker A: Right. [00:42:26] Speaker B: And. Okay. [00:42:27] Speaker A: And he's sensitive, so he might feel something. [00:42:29] Speaker B: What's our actual advice? Because I'm confused. [00:42:32] Speaker A: So his question is, is A, how does he talk to her about his concerns? [00:42:35] Speaker B: Okay. [00:42:37] Speaker A: B, how does he. How do they engage in belly button play and what are some things that they could do with belly button play? And how does he reciprocate it? So they want to add food. He. He wants to do things to her belly button. What are some things that they could do with their belly buttons that makes it a. Enjoyable. [00:42:55] Speaker B: Okay, so I guess my recommendation would be for play. Maybe you guys like. [00:43:05] Speaker A: Stick your belly button period. [00:43:07] Speaker B: Well, because you guys wanted to include food. So maybe you have like a sushi night and you like wrap a raw fish. No, I wasn't. I wasn't gonna say that. I was actually gonna go with more like a. A cucumber peel. You know, like to wrap it like you would the alti. [00:43:23] Speaker A: Are you saying that she should wrap his outie like a sushi? [00:43:26] Speaker B: Yeah. So like you wrap it like a sushi, right? And then you can kind of nibble all around it. So then you got the nibbles. [00:43:32] Speaker A: That's your suggestion? [00:43:33] Speaker B: I don't know what else. [00:43:34] Speaker A: She want to put like a little glob of wasabi on it too? [00:43:36] Speaker B: No, because he's got sensitive skin. So we're not going to do the wasabi, but maybe some soy sauce. The low sodium cream. [00:43:42] Speaker A: The fact that you went straight to fucking sushi. Like not whipped cream. I mean, she could not honey ice cubes. You went to wrapping his belly button in a cucumber. [00:43:55] Speaker B: Bitch. [00:43:56] Speaker A: Is she getting sticky rice and she's like squeezing it together some seaweed. [00:44:00] Speaker B: I was trying to make it enjoyable. I don't know what they like. I mean, it's possible that they're into like sushi California crunch wraps. It's. Anything is possible. Let's just be real. Sprinkle some tempura on top. Do like this. You know, like when you kind of. [00:44:18] Speaker A: I feel like something that you do with your cats. [00:44:20] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Ew. [00:44:21] Speaker A: I'm just being honest. [00:44:22] Speaker B: There will be no cat play, no bestiality. [00:44:24] Speaker A: That's gross because that was your first thought. [00:44:26] Speaker B: We're talking about belly buttons. I don't even know how we approach this without it being honey different. [00:44:31] Speaker A: It could be anything. Like, you could drizzle honey on the belly button. You could licky lick around the belly button. You could absolutely. I would not say put whipped cream inside. I would. Would not put food inside her belly but button. Because anything inside of a closed crevice has room for disgustingness to happen. Like you might not get it all out. You definitely the bath afterwards. But you absolutely could put something. Put some pop rocks on that. [00:44:54] Speaker B: Like, okay, so we can put pop rocks, but not tempor. [00:44:58] Speaker A: Yes, because people put pop rocks in suck dicks. [00:45:00] Speaker B: Like, but that's going to crackle the belly button. That's sensitive. Okay, it's sensitive. So now you're lighting it on fire with pop rocks. Listen, okay, let's try to be more. No, let's try to be more serious. [00:45:14] Speaker A: Because you've clearly sweet food play. Get some things that are gentle to the skin. So honey is always good because honey is not bad for the skin. [00:45:21] Speaker B: My suggestion is maybe some flavored petroleums, something that's actually meant. [00:45:27] Speaker A: Oh, remember that back in the day, the motion lotions that were flavored, they. [00:45:30] Speaker B: Used to have like strawberry. [00:45:31] Speaker A: But not the heated ones. [00:45:32] Speaker B: No, but I like the heated ones. [00:45:34] Speaker A: But for him had sensitive skin. So we would say fun flavored. [00:45:38] Speaker B: I'd say take your girl to a sex shop. Are we sure that. Yes. Are we sure this is a guy and a girl? Did they say that or is it two girls? Maybe one has Audi. One is any. [00:45:47] Speaker A: I can't remember at this point. [00:45:49] Speaker B: It doesn't even matter. Take your partner maybe to a sex shop, maybe shop for some different lubes that have different flavors. That way we know it's going to be safe for your skin, that it's meant to be edible or licked, kissed, all those things. And then just be really honest and transparent that if there's something you actually don't want to have happen with your belly button, like if she starts, tell her to cut the out. You feel me? Like, don't ever do that if you don't like that. [00:46:15] Speaker A: That sounds like a plan. Okay. I love it. All right, Hope that helped with anybody who has belly button stories. You have a dating story that was submitted, so. [00:46:26] Speaker B: Yes. So this one I'm looking more for your reaction and I'm looking to find out if this is something you would ever do or find interesting or whatever. But basically this Lister listener wanted to share a situation that they found themselves in. It goes as follows. I previously used a site called FetLife which was meant for those interested in fetish living events and opportunities. I connected with a guy online and we decided to meet at a BDSM event at a restaurant and do body painting. I went with a girlfriend of mine just to be safe. Arrived at the location and there was a bit of everything going on. The guy, let's call him John, he looked exactly like his pictures and I was excited for the date. John bought all of the supplies for the body painting. We sensually painted my friend together. And then I single handedly for her, or excuse me, I signaled for her to leave, but she wouldn't oh, she was obviously interested in John as well. They painted me. I was on a table, naked for the entire event to take in. I felt nervousness, pride, and hot as fuck. All eyes on me. Caresses, tickles, and pleasures. In that moment, I realized she was interested in me as well. They both fondled and kissed my entire body as the crowd watched. They wanted to have a threesome. So there is no advice that she's seeking here. [00:48:08] Speaker A: It's just a crazy dating story. [00:48:09] Speaker B: That was just a dating story. Have you ever done anything quite like that? [00:48:14] Speaker A: No, I have not. [00:48:16] Speaker B: Is it interesting to you? Like, would you maybe consider a lot? [00:48:20] Speaker A: I've been trying to go to a sex club for a minute. I just can't find one to go with. I mean, clearly there's interesting. I mean, now granted, I want to go to a club and be a voyeur. I don't necessarily want to participate. I don't know. I don't know if I'm into the whole group play thing, but body painting for essential purposes. This sounds kind of interesting. [00:48:39] Speaker B: Would you do it with people watching or would you rather be private? [00:48:42] Speaker A: I'm. I think I'm kind of an exhibitionist a little bit. I don't know if I would mind. If I'm in the right setting, I think I could do the right now. No, granted, not in Portland. I'm not about to go nowhere where I see everybody that I know. I'm not about to be walking around and they'd be like, oh, I saw you wide open last weekend. [00:48:59] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:49:00] Speaker A: But absolutely, would I go somewhere where I'm not going to see those people ever again? I might. [00:49:05] Speaker B: I don't know. Even if I was going somewhere where I knew I wasn't gonna see the people again, I just don't know that I have enough body positivity to feel comfortable in that setting. Understanding that I'm never gonna see these people again. They don't know me. And that they're clearly attracted to what they're seeing, if it's doing something for them. Me personally, I'm like, let me tuck in this. Roll over here. [00:49:27] Speaker A: But that's my thing. I'm never going to see these people again. So I feel like it would be easier to engage and be confident when you're around people who you don't have to feel embarrassed about later. [00:49:38] Speaker B: Basically, Lila Ree is for the shit. So if you're trying to go to one of these dungeons, one of these. [00:49:46] Speaker A: Clubs, Candy cozy, right here, girl at me, right here. I Want to come to the dungeon? I absolutely want to come to the fucking dungeon. I absolutely would love to get sponsored by a club for us to come and do some content. Not like engage in it, but just to go and look around and see and do a review. I would love to go. So if y'all are a sex club owner or have access to one holl at your girl because I will be in the building. I would drag this one with me. She will be laid up like she was for the mail review with a lay on. Anyways, we're gonna wrap up really soon but we're gonna finish. We gotta do our season. What's coming up. Yes, real quick, real quick, quick. Cuz we done talked a lot this season. Okay. So this season we've got Fantasy versus Reality with tp. [00:50:28] Speaker B: Yes. [00:50:28] Speaker A: Out of Atlanta. [00:50:30] Speaker B: Great episode. Listen in. He is an amazing barber and a artist. He has a new album that was released. He also has his own podcast. So make sure you listen to that episode especially cuz I think the men are going to be able to relate to a lot of his thoughts. [00:50:42] Speaker A: Absolutely. After that we've got Deadly Love. Now. I. I'm excited for this one to air because we met the. The guest, Kandra Howe. She hosts a podcast called In Killing Color. So it's a play on In Living Color, but it's a crime podcast about black serial killers. Black victims. [00:50:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:50:58] Speaker A: We met her at the podcast festival and she's going to come on talking about deadly situationships and relationships and how they end and it's going to be some very candid. [00:51:08] Speaker B: Listen, I have never heard death made such so funny. I'm just gonna let you know that. [00:51:13] Speaker A: Right now that part what men want with Will. [00:51:17] Speaker B: Yes. So yes, another great episode for our guys out there that really want to make sure us women know what men are thinking and feeling and how they need to be supported. He does a great job breaking down the wants of men that sometimes women overlook. [00:51:30] Speaker A: Yeah. So that helps with when you're single habitually like us at this point because I'm now habitually single too. We are co parenting with Jamila and Ill. Yes. So really great friend of ours that we've known for decades. Decades and what we are now dubbing her sister wife. [00:51:48] Speaker B: We. It's actually a great episode. What you're going to love about this one is that you're really going to have some takeaways as to how to make co parenting work in a healthy space. [00:51:56] Speaker A: Yes. [00:51:56] Speaker B: And so if you are ever wondering how to make this a non Toxic thing. You're going to enjoy listening to these women. [00:52:02] Speaker A: Absolutely. I need to take some tips. Tips. Because my situation is toxic. Barbershop talk with Uncle E. So Uncle E is the guy that put on the wine on the water. He does a lot of events out in Baltimore. He's also a barber. So we've got hot topics conversations. We're going to be talking about some controversial, you know, social media trends, and he's going to give us the male feedback and input. [00:52:25] Speaker B: And on the contrary to that, another episode that we're doing is going to mirror those exact same. Same questions, but we're taking it from a female perspective. So we want you to stay tuned to a part one and a part two, where the same questions are going to be posed and you're going to hear the man, how they respond, and the women how they respond to the same topics. [00:52:40] Speaker A: So that one's beauty shop talk with Nakia Holst and Erica Warren, both people that we've known for a very long time. So that'll be really fun to hear back. Y'all will like that one. Winning together with Dominic Lawson and Kendallson, who are a married couple. We. We also met them at the podcast festival. Both host their own podcast. So Dominic hosts Black is America. Kendall Lawson hosts the B Word, and so very amazing sound engineering. Their podcasts are super dope. It's like listening to books. Yeah. But they work very closely together. They have. They're married, they have a family, they have kids. They do all their stuff together. They go to speaking engagements. They create these shows together. They have their own business about education and other things. So they're. And they're kind of mentoring us a little bit. So we love that. We love that. Yes. Stress and love Burnout with Cassandra Dunbar, again, another podcast host. We're excited. We are dipping into podcasting, networking. Okay. Her podcast is Be well Sis. So it's going to be talking about how stress and burnout impact your relationships, personal and professional, but also how to deal with it, how to overcome it, and all those things. Things. I'm excited for y'all to hear that because again, we talked about us being better. [00:53:50] Speaker B: She gonna get us out. [00:53:52] Speaker A: She is, absolutely. And the last episode, and these are no particular order, coloring outside the lines. [00:53:57] Speaker B: That's going to be really interesting episode. And so if you've ever found yourself in a situation where you've been more of a traditional cookie cutter vanilla dater, you know, very standard, very run of the mill, and then find that you're ready to try Something different. Step outside your boundaries. Step outside of that box you're in and try something new. [00:54:17] Speaker A: I hate how she did that. We're excited for season five, y'all. We had some more things that we want to talk about, but we really got into this. So I think we might take this on a live later. But we're gonna do some follow ups on some of the stories that you heard from previous seasons. Like the murder scene that we heard about the bloody bed after sex. We had the. The dating for perks follow up. We have some the files that we're gonna do. So check us out on live. We will do that later. But in the meantime, get ready, guys. Season five.

[00:54:49] Speaker A: Before you go there. [00:54:50] Speaker B: What? [00:54:50] Speaker A: Before you go there. I don't know if y'all see this. Oh, these books right here. Another good friend of ours, Christopher, I call him Chris, but Christopher Kendricks wrote a book and it's actually no relation to Lamar Kendricks. [00:55:07] Speaker B: Go ahead. [00:55:08] Speaker A: Who is that? [00:55:08] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:55:11] Speaker A: Life skills for teens and young adults. It is what you wait. What you should know or learn by 25. So this is kind of like a how to guide for young adults and it's really a good and easy read for all age levels. You can read this book and get things that we as adults have learned from experience but will be helping youth and young adults be getting that knowledge and wisdom before it's too late. So, Christopher Kendricks, you can get this book on Amazon. It's really reasonably priced. It's like 11 or $12, I think. But y'all need to get this book holl at your boy. [00:55:48] Speaker B: Holidays are coming up. These great gifts, great stocking stuffers, Christmas gifts. [00:55:52] Speaker A: Good for your kids going to college.
