No. Where are you from? From Michigan. Michigan? Oh damn. Wolverines. All kinds of crazy stuff happening in Michigan. What brought you down here? I'm family. I moved out here when I was a kid. Ah, okay, okay, okay. All right, so let's get into some of these questions. First question. Name something that a parent would say before whooping their child. I did not tell you not to. Yep, answer whatever crime. Name something that you would never ever

[62.9s] SPEAKER_00: ever want your kids to see on your social media. Your kids to see on your social media. I'm gonna say something like sexually explicit that you're like involved in kind of thing. Yeah, that's it.

[76.5s] SPEAKER_01: That's a good one. That's a good one. What twerking in the club, you like that? Yeah. Yeah, I think that fits in there. All right, fill in the blank. You're in the barbershop chair, getting your hair cut. The last thing you want to hear your barber say is, yeah, that's a good one. All right, name the top reason that a man gets married.

[106.1s] SPEAKER_00: A man gets married, I mean, I guess for love. I would assume, you know, it's just tired of like, wants to settle down kind of thing. Maybe like the security, you know, just feel like you got build with kind of thing. Like, I don't know, I guess I associate with like maturity kind of like moving on to the next phase of your life. So maybe that's what this what's on his mind.

[133.8s] SPEAKER_01: That makes sense. Name something Diddy would ask you to bring to the park. Hey, he's got me. What is the best place to find a spouse?

[151.3s] SPEAKER_00: That's a tough question. I don't know that I got the answers to that.

[161.8s] SPEAKER_01: What's something that a parent would say to a bad child that a coach would also say to a player? Yeah, that's something. What's the worst hood to be caught in Atlanta?

[182.3s] SPEAKER_00: I keep hearing East Point is the most dangerous place in Atlanta.

[185.7s] SPEAKER_01: Low key is if you would just don't be knowing. Like I had an ex that was there and I was like, yo, girl, you're too small to be around these killers. Right? It was crazy. I started, I started getting to know I'm leaving. I'm gonna like, Hey, what's up? Like, what's up, cut? I'm like, you guys ain't got a game bank on making like that, bro. Like, it's the morning. Why are you waking up hard? Like, it's come on, dog. Chill. I have my coffee. Yeah, right. Like, come on, man. I'm just, I'm just a man. You know what I'm saying? I'm just out here walking. Like, I ain't a thug. You know what I'm saying? Look at me. I'm too light skin for that. You know, you know, some care to you by Destiny's child? Yeah. What does a man have to do to get

[234.9s] SPEAKER_00: hit? It's a huge treat. That's a good question. Uh, thoughts be first, maybe cater to her. Like, you know, I could, I don't know, in my experience is definitely more like reciprocal kind of thing. Like, uh, because you showed up, she'd show up for you kind of thing. But I don't know. I also assume like maybe just being like up enough, like being somebody that's like, maybe attractive enough that this person wants to round it up to be going to extra mile.

[279.6s] SPEAKER_01: Okay. Okay. I can dig that. You're at a Waffle House and a fight breaks out. What are you doing next? One outside. One outside? Keep it simple. What's the worst Halloween costume? Worst

[298.6s] SPEAKER_00: Halloween costume? I'm gonna say like an office worker or something like that. Because I feel like you just put on what you had, buddy. At least just show regular clothes and you think you're getting away with it. Maybe he's trying to tell you that his life is a nightmare. I'm not sure there it is. It's really a cry for help. I know that might be an interesting spin, but still, it's supposed to be Batman tonight, man.

[329.1s] SPEAKER_01: We could be depressed every other day, man. Come on. That's funny. All right. So Diddy, R. Kelly, and Tyler Perry are either going down or gone down. They're about to go down. My question

[341.4s] SPEAKER_00: to you is who's next? That is a good question. I have been hearing a lot of people talk about like being like, I guess, up next for this. I honestly would like to not see that happen. But I mean, I don't know. It's probably something like if they dig deep enough. Yeah. Yeah, I'm

[363.6s] SPEAKER_01: really not sure I'll know. All right. Tell me, my man, how many dates until a man should expect

[370.3s] SPEAKER_00: a young lady to make a home cooked meal? I'm definitely speaking from the perspective of my generation and that's just kind of a mixed bag like done at all these women are cooking or something like that. I don't know. I'm gonna go like three or four and something like that. Okay. Okay. Name the difference between a husband and a boyfriend. I guess a husband is somebody that like is ready to make a real commitment to you. Someone is like trying to build with you, I guess. Which I feel like, I don't know, a boyfriend is kind of along the same lines, but I don't know. I do think there is a level of commitment or just like, I don't know, building your life with this person, I guess. Okay. Why do men need women? I think a lot of it is just kind of like covering our weaknesses or pointing out our flaws kind of thing. I do think they shine areas where we are not as strong, just generally speaking, like just to be, I don't know, to oversimplify really. Yeah, I do think it's just kind of like

[462.5s] SPEAKER_01: a yin and yang kind of thing. I think that. What is the number one thing a Karen does? I'm playing. Don't get much simpler than that, you Karens. Why do women need men? I mean,

[481.5s] SPEAKER_00: kind of the same thing I was saying earlier, but maybe get a little more specific. I do think that I am of the opinion that gender roles can be a little more fluid, but I do think in general, men are the leaders and it may take some of the more simple, maybe like brute force kind of thinking that I do think men kind of default to, to again, be that yin and yang with like the woman where she might be more caught up in like the soft part of it, or I don't know. I know personally dealing with women, I feel like they're very indecisive. I feel like that's just like one part of, I don't know, the point I'm trying to make here, but like just in that, like I do feel like a man can step in and like be, I don't know, just more decisive, I guess, come to a decision a lot quicker and be a lot more just factual about it. Okay. Being decisive is a pretty good answer. I like that. I do think there's kind of places like yin and yang thing I was talking about though.

[540.0s] SPEAKER_01: Okay. If all the women in the world disappear, what would be the first problem to come up?

[554.9s] SPEAKER_00: I mean, honestly, I think some dude is going to want to get his rocks off pretty quick. So he's going to have some issues with that. But I mean, taking care of the kids that all these women left behind is also about to be an immediate problem. I think that's pretty solid answers.

[571.6s] SPEAKER_01: Which one do you think will come up first? The kids that got no mamas or the, what did she say? There's no cheese to clap. The cheese that we use to clap are no longer available.

[580.0s] SPEAKER_00: I don't even know. He probably going to hit about the same time. Bro, wake up in the morning like, damn, we're shoddy, but like you also wake up, there you go. You wake up, where's the kid? You're like, where's shoddy at?

[592.5s] SPEAKER_01: Damn, who take care of the kids? Exactly. You just got hit with a double whammy. That's a double whammy. They have a difference between a wife and a girlfriend.

[604.0s] SPEAKER_00: Do you think a girlfriend, a wife is, uh, I guess somebody you can see yourself with more long-term might go back. It's like that building thing I was saying earlier. Um, yeah, I think like a girlfriend might be like, uh, cool for now or like you might like what's going on in the moment. But a wife is somebody you're more thinking about long-term your life with.

[633.1s] SPEAKER_01: Okay. Okay. The power has been out for four hours with no explanation. What do you do then?

[640.2s] SPEAKER_00: There's no explanation. Uh, honestly, I'm gonna chill out a little bit longer, you know, get some flashlights, try to get some like emergency preparations like together, but I'm gonna chill out a little bit longer, let it go longer than that though. Like we got six hours, something like that. So still ain't nobody said nothing. Maybe it's getting late.

[666.6s] SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna maybe check out a hotel. Okay. Okay. Name something you wish men understood about women.

[673.9s] SPEAKER_00: I guess like, uh, that women are different than men at the end of the day. And like the thought process and the logic is different. So like, even though something, you know, it's probably just not gonna make sense to you, you just gotta like step outside of your, I don't know, your two cents of your understanding and maybe try to see it from her perspective. And maybe it's still ain't gonna make sense to you, but like, uh, understand that is how she is seeing it. That's how she feels about it. And like, can't really change that. You just kind of have to deal with where she is at. Yeah. I can respect

[732.9s] SPEAKER_01: it. I can respect it. All right. Fill in the blank. I just broke up with my girl because

[745.5s] SPEAKER_00: her favorite team is blank. I care too much about anybody to like breaking up with somebody over it.

[765.7s] SPEAKER_01: We can go to the next question. Yeah, that's right. Name the most, name the most attractive aspect of a woman's appearance that is not a body part. All right. But it's her appearance. Yep.

[780.5s] SPEAKER_00: Uh, what she got on. Yeah. Okay. Give me a little more specific. Um, I don't know. I think that's like, uh, it's an easy reflection of like who you are, you know, like they say not to judge a book by a cover by its cover, but I don't know. I'm a judge a little bit because I don't know. That's like a conscious decision you made, you know, like what you about to put on to step out. Um, and again, I think that reflects like who you are. Yeah. What did you, what did you think about this? Right. So like, I'm definitely, you know, taking some cues off of that. Um, you know, should I do you put it together, right? And you know, looking good, maybe not showing too much. It's like, maybe that's like sending the right signals, you know, make sense during a zombie apocalypse. Where's the first place you're going? My parents' house. Uh, my stepdad has a gun collection. You got like 50,000 worth of guns and ammo. I've already thought about this. That's the first place I'm something to get right. He said we got to get right. All right. How many books do you read a year? Uh, not many. I'm going to be honest. Um, I got a few in last year. Honestly, we're just listening to them, but, uh, I don't know, probably be on the same pace, maybe like two or three in a year. Okay. What's the biggest benefit for reading? I personally think like, of course, the information you're picking up, but, um, I think like speaking or writing after reading becomes a lot easier. Uh, just because like you're looking at how somebody else conveyed their thoughts, opinions or whatever, and that's just giving you like new tools to do that yourself. Like I do think a lot of like the writing I do, even in just like emails and work and stuff, there's really something like, I don't know, I read somebody, somebody else said this somewhere and I liked how they said that. So I incorporated that in my language. So expands on how you're

[901.7s] SPEAKER_01: able to communicate. Exactly. Yeah. Communication skills. That's good. Last question. Name something that people pretend to like beer. You say beer? Yeah. Oh, thank you. My man. Hey, uh, either a phone number or a social media for us to let you know when that so comes out. Yeah, I got you. Uh,

[923.6s] SPEAKER_00: bless Jeff is my Instagram. You can find me anywhere at that. It's, um, God bless. G E O F F. All right. Well, man, appreciate you. I appreciate the snap. I appreciate the snap.
