Summary
Whew! Y'all… I'm out here trying to date and let me just say: it's terrible. This week I went on two dates — yes, two. One man is ready for a monogamous relationship immediately… and has absolutely no friends (red flag?). The other sends me unsolicited prayer voice notes every single morning and follows up with "send me a pic" all day long. I'm exhausted, and it's only Monday. 🙃
Meanwhile, Dex is convinced the internet is for girls only — specifically saying men should not be in The Shade Room comments. Honestly? I don't disagree. Go build a house or something, sir.
We also got into the wildest things we've done for love. Let's just say, Dex shared a story that had my jaw on the floor. You ever stay with someone who cheated… and had two kids on you while y'all were still together? She did. And sis really said "crazy for love."
Then, we got into a listener letter: "Do you have to pick a side when two close friends fall out?" Mmm… we had thoughts. Lots of thoughts.
In our motherhood segment, we reviewed that new Tyler Perry movie Straw (spoiler alert if you haven't watched yet!). Of course, we couldn't agree on anything. I loved it — it spoke to me on such a deep, spiritual level. Dex? She's over it. Said it's just more Black trauma on display. Classic us.
So what now? Click play and find out.

| 0:17.1 | lady? I was just thinking about it. But my mouth is so dry. Terrible strain. I smoked in the way here. My cotton mouth, like, may I have some water?

This is now episode 35. 35. Same age as you. Yes. Almost. Kind of. That's how I feel. Yeah. I think if you were to ask me, 35 would be a good year to go back to what I know now. Just three years, three years literally made a huge difference for me. But no, I'll stay right here. I'll stay right here. How are you from? I'm good. I'm good. I'm hot as fuck. Are you? Is that like premenopause? |

Like, there's no reason to go outside. Yeah. It's too much. There's no groceries, none of that. Actually, now that I said, WaterPerson, do you see what's going on on TikTok? |
| 2:00.8 | This is not part of my catch-up at all. But I was scrolling for research purposes. And it opens up Aquatica takeover 2024 and everybody pissed off. So apparently at some point, do you remember Dell, Coates, when Dell from here, promoter? Okay, anyhow. He, they did a thing with a bunch of kids where they would get with Aquatica and bring a bunch of |
| 2:05.1 | black kids from the community to do the park. |
