You saying yes all right what are you reading right now a dirty Romance I’m sure I can’t okay so don’t judge me but Tick Tock I’m not judging this is an adult show what you really there’s like books and stuff of course you never she never recommends like the
Really really bad stuff so there’s like this alien romance novel going around and I got all sucked into it think of it as like naughty Avatar that’s the good reference for it okay I’m gonna leave that right there because we gotta keep going but that sounds like a whole nother episode I’ll
Sing it a little hold up a whole other thing to talk about the naughty uh would you call it it’s a naughty romance a naughty romance but it’s like meets Avatar yeah it’s that’s what I would call it like erotic Avatar all right okay we’ll come back salty salty or sweet
Can I mix them both together salty or sweet salty you can I guess you could I guess okay um what word do you have a hard time pronouncing don’t judge me this might be this is a combination of like Haitian issues maybe Brooklyn I don’t know success
Around the world and not to not have to say it it would not have been bad if you had to have thought about it to really like now I can’t say it yeah okay horrible I will go I would write it in the email now but I would go around
The world like nope not saying that I’m doing well right right right right I can’t I can’t do it I don’t know what it is okay yeah all right money or happiness happiness oh boy I feel like I’m gonna give up a little bit of happiness with some more money because
The money would then make me even like do I have to choose Laura Jesus okay happiness if you said money because when I we’re not talking about what how in what way or anything just said something strange for the money the money go ahead all right all right
Um what movie do you enjoy quoting the most What’s Love Got to Do with It wait what’s your quote what what do you say eat the damn cake anime [Laughter] one of my favorites sorry um I turn it like blessing in a curse um if you dive B I’ll kill you [Laughter]
I forgot about that though you’re like how does that work exactly that’s my favorite if you die B I’ll kill you I’m like huh that’s the level of aggression I have never achieved so I’m always like mix think that’s the damn song anime I’ll be like
Come on let’s go gotta do with it just it just gives oh God I just like that movie because it’s not like but it’s just it was just it’s too funny and I love Angela Bassett I mean honestly the man the woman can read a
Book to me I would be happy but that is one of my one of my favorites I will watch it every time it comes on okay okay um last question let’s see here you know this last meal on Earth where would it be and what would you eat
I’m eating all Haitian food I need like a whole sampler like I need like I need gryo I need dewy I need like plantains I need to be on the beach doesn’t have to be in Haiti but I’ll do any Beach um I need a drink too but yeah but I
Want like a full on Haitian meal you want to hate it I want a buffet I want to be like look if I’m going I’m gonna go stuff Lane that’s the one day you shouldn’t care about that uncomfortable feeling from eating it’s okay it’s fine you’re like
This is this is that it’s just it this is just such a fit yeah that’s it all right well as we’re talking about feast and feasting and all those lovely things let’s get into our our topic here this evening as we I should have asked you who would you
Take with you but that’s okay or yeah I’m not picking my sister let me tell you why I would never forget this but she stole food out the refrigerator from me that my mother mocked for me this is probably like I should be over it but it was like 18 years ago
I really wanted that meal until this day I will no so she can’t go so I’m gonna take you Laura you and I are gonna go can’t go we will send her pictures though Manisha I’m so sorry we’re gonna send her pictures so she feels bad and
Then when she complains I’m gonna remind her that she stole food out the fridge that was for me 18 years ago and that’s why she wasn’t invited that’s the that’s the note you would leave her because it’s your last meal yeah that’s the she would expect that from me she’ll be fine okay
Take care of my baby but that’s why you’re not here you’re hilarious so question for the room uh-huh since you and I both are women of a particular age I guess that’s what you would say right and single for now what I’m saying for now not always for now just you know
Um but if you were in this situation or what do you think of what would happen if if you knew someone or I don’t know how was it what happens when you catch feelings for a friend do you still like what happens do you still hang out with that person casually
Is there a way to turn back how do you move forward and this is probably more so if that person’s not interested in you whoa okay so this is one of those weird questions because I feel like this is such a woman question right because I
Feel like if and hey man in the chat if I’m wrong just let me know I’m wrong but I feel like if women start liking a friend we are at home contemplating life decisions we’re making pros and consists we’re talking to our friends we’re like debating this for like weeks and months
Should I tell them should I not tell them should I die and men are like I like her and I’m willing to risk it all and tell her anyway like I don’t feel like men lose sleep over this kind of dilemma this is like a to me what I I
Might be wrong the man can tell me I’m wrong but I feel like this is such a woman dilemma because we think more about like I have a friend and I don’t want to lose the friendship and what if he doesn’t return those feelings can we move forward and still be friends like
We lose sleep over the potentially ruining friendship where I don’t think men men are like ah I’m cool I can risk this I can risk this for you know a good time or a long time let’s see what happens and then you know they’re okay with that
Um so that’s my first take on it when I hear the question I’m like oh my God this is such a girl thing but so let’s say if it doesn’t work do you go it doesn’t work I think it depends on the level of your feelings for that
Person like are we talking like for me are we talking small crush and then then you caught you caught him you got you got caught up see how I’m such a weird person I personally wouldn’t let myself get that far without figuring that out first you know okay
But let’s just say I like you know really fell hard um I feel like it would it would have to be like self-preservation always first and if you need to take a break from that person temporarily like I’m not saying ruin a friendship but I feel like I feel like if you’re at
The point where you know he doesn’t return our feelings and that means he knows how you feel about him and if he’s a good friend he would respect you requesting some sort of distance away to be like hey I can’t have lunch with you every Wednesday like we used to give me
A couple weeks you know we’ll talk I’ll chat we’ll text but I can’t I can’t see you as often because I want to you know I want to kind of get past this situation yeah and and just put some boundaries in place for yourself like I feel like in all ways in life
Self-preservation should be the the thing you think about first like you should put yourself first yeah you need first before somebody else I agree with that yeah unless you have kids involved and think about the babies what’d you say I said unless there’s kids involved then you can’t really you
Know then think about the babies but in in the case of like relationships you got to take care of yourself first and make sure you’re getting what you need out of that relationship and if it’s somebody also like because I know like I know friends in this situation where they’ve liked someone
And the person doesn’t return the feelings but still doesn’t want to give them space and it’s kind of like and then they kind of like just keep Wheeling them in but they know they don’t want to be with that person then that’s a dangerous person then you probably wouldn’t want to consider just
Severing ties with that if it’s to the point where like this man knows like hey I like you you really don’t want her but you’re keeping her on the string then you need to I feel like you need to severtise indeed because he’s not thinking about you as a friend yeah
Right right and fellas if you have any comments please chime in because we would love to have the male perspective on this as I read some comments here Kenya says this was an r b song I can’t think of the name though Whitney Houston I’m saving all my love for you cause I
Just realized that was another woman’s song like two months ago yeah yeah you’re like I called you it was the jam it was the jam it’s a beautiful song then but you when you listen you’re like well wait a second I was thinking that thing as a child not realizing Whitney
Was The Other Woman in this song like when she said I’m saving all my love for you I in my hand the man was off to war not right at his wife’s house I had to read the lyrics I was like oh this is not what I thought this was like
No you’re like oh wait a second that sounds that sounds like an awful lot of sacrifice yeah that’s a lot that’s a lot what’s up so when you were talking about kids do you tell your date like if you’re or whoever do you tell kind of
Switching gears a little bit do you when you’re dating because some people don’t do this and I thought it was really interesting do you tell people you tell your date excuse me that you have children do you tell the person you have children on the first date I think
You should I mean let’s let’s make sure we know it’s not children for me it’s just one okay because the Lord knows that’s all I can handle um My Little Olivia is a lot um but no I think that you should like if you don’t I’m not saying first date this
Man needs to meet your child but they need to know there’s an important person in your life and that is your daughter or your son right I wouldn’t you know like you don’t have to you don’t bring them out and parade the children but they need to know and they need to know
Like the same way you’re evaluating your date to see if this is somebody you can see in the in your future in your child’s future they need to know if this is something they want or you know especially when you have like my child is sex like that’s a young child you
Know we’re not taking off for a two-week Cruise when I have you know like so they need to know that and that that’s a lifestyle change for a lot of people yeah yeah yeah I just thought when I you know I’ve I’ve heard and come and read
And you know how you see everything on social media of course but I was surprised at the number of people men and women who don’t tell that they have children a child or children on the first date and I feel like if later on you surprise
Me like with surprise I have a son I’ll be like red flag wait a minute where was this child like then what in what when like I feel like my child is such a big aspect in my life and I’m not saying you go out to dinner with someone or you’re
Hanging out with them for like two hours you would talk about your child the whole time but how do you how does like a significant part of your life not come up at all like I would I would find that weird and and maybe my assumption would be well
You’re not as involved for that for your child not to come up yeah I I just think that maybe also depending on the age of the kid too maybe it’s you know like if your child is like 22 and out of the house and off to college maybe it doesn’t come up as
Much but yeah I just thought it was it was interesting and why you wouldn’t want to share why you wouldn’t want to share that and I think I think for me it would say something about your character yeah um yeah the first first date you’re like I don’t know I think if someone
Doesn’t say and on the second day you’re like oh by the way I have you know I don’t know three kids not that a person would care not that I would care per se but like why is that just not coming up why you know it’s
Yeah like I wouldn’t I and I and I I think for me like the way I interact with people like my my daughter casually comes up like it’s not an announcement of like by the way yeah yeah like well if you ask me what I did yesterday
There’s going to be an aspect of like well I had to like yesterday was Tuesday I had to take Olivia to dance you know or what did you do this weekend well this weekend we did like there’s for me there’s no way around it yeah so it to
Me it would question it would make me question how involved you are in your kids life for them not to come up casually yeah and and I think it would make you I mean at least it would make me um one it definitely needs to come out
Up front in those first few let’s say maybe all right if it doesn’t happen on the first date it has to happen in those first couple of days or it’s it’s a wrap but then it also prolongs because I’m still I might be looking at you a little side sad I like
Hmm that didn’t come up out front that’s a huge part of a person’s life so I’m definitely looking at you a little a little different with hesitation hesitation yeah I feel like you know once your parent at least for me as a mom that is part of who I am and part of
Like you know like part of me as a person so how do I not like that’s such a huge aspect of my life I don’t know how to get away from it and say you know um like and not just not have it come up casually even you know like it just
Wouldn’t happen yeah I think so and I would I would I would I would find that as a rare flag yeah I do I think it is a big red flag um Kenya says agree let them know about kids up front absolutely and right and I
Feel like the longer you take to tell me then the more concerned I am like if it’s months then I’m like oh yeah you I mean you could just I mean you might as well just call it it can’t be months you can like you can go ahead and forget
That Valerie says we need to let people decide what they can deal with up front and I totally absolutely Valerie I think we get um a lot of times people get caught up in I guess like the fantasy or the illusion or not showing up as yourself
And I just think at this point in our lives we definitely um I mean you are who you are you have what you have and yes we are still growing and evolving as people men women but who you are right now you want you you gotta let people know yeah
And you’re going to be into you for you and if if if who you are is part of who you are as a mom or a dad yeah you would want people to know that and I feel like especially when you reach a certain age like you know who’s hiding children it’s
Different than when you’re like 21 and you’re like oh well I don’t you know different because I’ll be honest with you in my 20s I don’t think uh I wouldn’t have because that’s 20 old Natalie don’t judge me 20 old Natalie would not have dated a man with children Yeah but I
The people still do people are out here hiding I’ll just saying the 20 in your early 20s because you don’t know no matter like a girl like me in her 20s wouldn’t have dated a guy with children I was trying to get the club I’m not trying to braid your
Daughter’s hair I’m not trying to babysit I don’t want to go to the park I’m trying to get in before 12. okay I’m here to party like so I wouldn’t you know so in my 20s I would not have dated a man with children but I feel like once you reach a certain
Age I feel like more and more more people have children so I don’t understand you know if you don’t tell me that’s a that’s a I’m I’m questioning your character at that point yeah it’s huge it’s huge it’s huge Valley also says part of it is fear of judgment or
Rejection there’s always the well let them get to know let them get to know me before I drop that info but it’s not being open it is not and we can’t do it and if it’s a sure sign it’s like an automatic two red flags it’s like automatic you get three it’s
That two that’s it it’s you you got one more you’re out right what did I look like you know that you know that Meme of like um Viola Davis picking up her purse leaving that’s me at the restaurant going okay well um pack this up to go thanks
To Valerie’s point about like the fear of judgment I feel like there there are certain stigmas right like the more children you have and with the more partners then people might feel a little judged by that like if you’re trying to tell a woman or a woman is trying to
Tell a man like hey I have three kids three different dads then I can you know then because of that judgment we know automatically judge it um I think people do kind of hold back and there is a fear of judgment in that you know and because I’ll be honest with you
If a man told me that I’m like um so what happened tell me more and how about these kids are there any conversations or is there any well no maybe conversations anything off limits that you like that’s too soon for the first day
Too too soon to tell me no I want you to I want you to tell me oh I’m gonna listen we’re gonna laugh now may not go on with you again okay well we are gonna laugh we’re gonna have a good time we might walk out as besties
By the end of this we’re not we may not date right but I want you to tell me all so I can make it I can reserve my judge make a judgment and decide if this is something I can handle like I said I
Feel like if a man told me like oh I just had a baby and I’m like if a man’s like oh I had a baby I’m like oh how old and they’re like oh six weeks I’m like oh really oh okay all right how did that what
Happened what happened there what are we talking about okay like because I’m because in my head I’m like why are you here postpartum yeah why are you here tonight help me out life is a train midnight feedings you know right we can’t we cannot yeah like I’m judging
At that point too even if it’s one child I’m judging right you’re like oh um like why are we out the house shoot with you right um so let’s see here um so Wanda says if they’re your friend they should know you have kids from the start then
If you catch feelings the kids should not be an issue true true very true I agree with Wanda like I mean obviously if this is a friend the opinion says wow a newborn that’s deep and diapers and dating yeah we’re not doing it we’re not doing that right
Now yeah now unless you’re dating you know the kid’s father your husband but yeah life is a new yeah you’re right I agree but to Wanda’s point I think it was like if this is not a friend and you’re just meeting a man and you’re getting to know them and they just told
You all about like you know about children and stuff but but you’re right if they’re all your friend that you wouldn’t know they have children now if they are your friend and you don’t know they have children run away right questions let’s go yeah let’s go well let’s get
Him surprised unless they just found out they had a kid then then yeah that’s a whole different that’s a whole difference but if they knew and you just didn’t know and they were your friend around you’re like yeah it’s okay we’re good yeah we’re good so let let’s get into
This next segment of in between the bites oh in between the bites so between the bites let’s talk about what’s happening out here one thing what’s phone what’s good phone etiquette yesterday I was in the airport and you’re sitting there or I’m sitting there and this man decides to call someone on
His speaker phone and he’s literally having a full conversation on the speakerphone I look up and I’m like are you serious right now was it juicy this is our thing right so my level or how much I care is is a good team like right so
If it’s if you just come on in to tell me about work then I’m like oh my God turn it off now and you and the person on the other end are gossiping and it could be someone I have no idea who it is I am here I’m like what
What do Susie did what in my head I’m like all in it like I’m like what so if it’s good combo I’m like I’ll turn off my own phone and listen I’m like oh I can’t right now listen I’m here for gossip I feel like this you know I’m here for everybody
Else having amazing and exciting Adventure crazy stuff happened to them I don’t want it to happen to me so when somebody wants to share I’m the worst I am here for a good Facebook fight remember those like the people would just be fighting in the comments and I’m like
Cannot I cannot I cannot at all these people are but you know what I’m okay with it would have been like hey I cannot we’re at the airport we at the airport what are you doing like what in the world I I just I was done I was really like I need

Cheated I’m like I don’t even know these people but I’m my aunt’s a pin I am up and then I will probably be annoyed if they walk away before I got the rest of it I don’t know naturally nosy right I’m like no no if it’s boring then I’m like I’m with
Kenya I’m like oh my God turn it off this is ridiculous right Lord someone says world star Natalie is video video taping I can’t yes it is messy listen to people’s conversations but I don’t want to hear none of it wait a second am I listening like there’s a difference like I feel
