00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:46.640 Um my conversations with girls when it comes up, you know, they sort of get turned off by it. 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.880 Um I should do an episode on it. 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.240 Anyway. 00:20:54.799 --> 00:21:02.319 Um it's it's an emotional subject for me. 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.400 Um but yeah, it's a great podcast. 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:09.440 It's called Middlemen, and it's a by a bisexual guy for bisexual guys. 00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:26.000 So um there's a lot to unpack and discover and talk about and uh so now this is the one now I I hate listening to no, that's wrong. 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:26.960 I shouldn't say that. 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:37.440 Um I listen for the I listen to this podcast for the insanity because the dude is off his rocker. 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:39.119 Now I've mentioned him before. 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:47.680 Part of the reason why I really put an effort into making these this podcast what it is, uh, is because of him. 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.400 Um the uh I think what was he said? 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.400 The storm the uh storm doesn't ask permission to storm or whatever. 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.359 It was a very I don't know if he if he uh coined the The phrase, but I watch for the insanity. 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:10.079 Um, sometimes he has moments of brilliantness, uh, a streak of incredibleness. 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:16.720 Um, it's aware and aggravated with Leo Skeppi. 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:32.640 Now, if you don't know who Leo Skeppi is, um he is he's he's a self-proclaimed uh uh motivational speaker, life coach, former nurse, Albanian. 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.720 I'm very proud of being Albanian. 00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:41.279 Um and a lot of his a lot of his um episodes are way out there. 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:44.720 I personally think he might be bipolar. 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:47.039 Um I think he's very creative. 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:48.720 He's also a Pisces. 00:22:49.200 --> 00:23:02.079 Um and I've connected with him on that too because my birthday's a few uh two weeks after his, and uh is it two weeks after his? 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.160 Uh yes, two weeks after his and a week and a half, really. 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:12.480 Um but I'm a few I'm a lot of years older than him. 00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:17.039 I think he's 29, maybe gonna be 30 this year or next year. 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:25.200 Um I have heard some of the crazy shit. 00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.519 His my favorite, my okay, my favorite posts of his are the what would Leo do. 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:35.440 Um because in a in a normal world, these are things you would not do. 00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:37.759 Um case in point. 00:23:38.079 --> 00:24:03.119 Um he is adamant about if you're dating someone, and I find I find these this mentality, this is this was me maybe when I was in my teens, just starting to date and not really understanding, you know, people are individuals, we don't own each other, we don't we don't um get to invade their life, we get to share their lives, right? 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:09.759 So um his his big thing is if you're in a relationship with him, if you look at someone else, that's that's a a red flag. 00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:16.079 If you're if you're hanging out with people he doesn't know, that's a problem because who are they and how do you know them? 00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:19.039 And instead of, oh, these are your friends who are your friends or whatever. 00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:21.279 Or you just

met, oh great, nice to meet you. 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:22.640 One of those things. 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:30.559 Um, but if you're well before I get to that part, because that part really is a problem, I think. 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:32.319 It's a major problem. 00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:39.200 Um, so if you're if you're still friends with your exes, not gonna fly with him at all. 00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:49.039 Now you could now you could have had like a 10-year relationship with someone and you recently broke up, and well not recently, you broke up and you're still friends after five years later. 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:55.359 I mean, you have a decent amount of time together and you meet Leo and you just say, Oh, this is my ex right there. 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:56.799 He's he doesn't want to hear anything else. 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:02.480 That's your ex, you should not even be talking to them, you shouldn't even look at them, you should know you shouldn't know what they're doing with their life. 00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:08.400 And even if you explain, oh well, we we're we're married, we're divorced, oh my god, that's the end of everything then. 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.440 You know. 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:16.559 Um I find that incredibly entertaining when he goes off on those tangents. 00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:24.319 Um, liking their their posts or being in touch with them in any form, shape, way, or fashion. 00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:26.000 Not good for me. 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.839 Now, this is this is where this is where it gets crazy for me. 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:33.119 I'm like, okay, girl, you have gone off the deep end. 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:35.359 Going in someone's phone. 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:44.799 Now he he explains in one of his many on more than one occasion, uh, how we acknowledge that our devices are, you know, these are our lives. 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:57.599 Everything is in there, you know, our our accounts, our numbers, our data, our everything, photos, everything about us, who we are, who we communicate in the real world, our sexuality. 00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.279 It's all in our devices. 00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:01.680 He feels he should have access to your phone. 00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:07.039 You should know your code, he should be, and if you have nothing to worry about, you shouldn't have a problem sharing that information with him. 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:20.319 In all my life, in all of the time that I've dated anybody, even when we started having devices like this, I never once asked for or expected to receive someone's passcode to go through their stuff. 00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:24.319 Because the problem for me is you will find something that's gonna bother you. 00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.839 Out of context, you're just seeing it what it is, what it is. 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.799 Out of context, you have no idea what is behind that. 00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:33.039 You might see a photo of someone they were with. 00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.319 That could be a relative, and then you're like, well, who's this?

00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.200 I know there was some other stuff

that I was interested in. 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.160 Yeah, and then you get all these great recommendations, but um, I just can't. 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.720 Um there's so many people. 00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:34.640 I you know what and and I do when when suggestions come up, I do take a listen just to see. 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.200 Maybe there's something I should I should uh get into. 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.680 But a lot of it is uh stuff I've heard before. 00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.160 Like um Mel, what's her name? 00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:42.880 Mel. 00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:48.960 Some of her posts come up on Instagram and Facebook, and it's uh really good clip. 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:50.240 Like, oh, that's really cool. 00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:50.960 Let me check it out. 00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:54.640 But it's her show is not something that I want to stick around with uh often. 00:29:54.720 --> 00:30:00.000 But if she's like she did she did an interview with Gary V recently, I'm gonna listen to that one because I I appreciate Gary V. 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:07.599 Uh knowing where he started out, like with his family's uh liquor store business, and just started from there, I think, uh to where he is now. 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:36.799 Um he is an incredible motivational speaker, but sometimes I feel when I'm listening to his podcasts that I'm being um not that I'm being lectured, but it's the feeling I would get when I got, you know, the the uh the tough love from my mother, you know, like you know, the shit that I'm I've been avoiding, and she's finally saying it to my face, and I know that that's the answer. 00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:41.440 And I'm I've been I've just that's what I get, and I'm just like, oh, I can't, I can't, okay, done. 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:42.880 All right, fine. 00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:45.039 But he's right though. 00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:58.079 I do have to say this though, and I mean you can tell me what you think of this comment, but um, a lot of people, you know, that's that's wrong. 00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:59.599 I don't want to generalize in that way. 00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:05.200 There are a lot of times where I get the sense that when people say stuff, they don't they come from their own experience. 00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:06.160 It's obvious, right? 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:18.400 But the this the experience of people of color when they're trying to break through to entertainment or business or to really make something of their lives, there's many barriers, and we are a lot of us are aware of what those barriers are. 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:29.680 And sometimes when they say things, it's like they don't take into consideration uh not everyone can go by the philosophy of picking yourself up by your bootstraps because sometimes we don't have the bootstraps. 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:32.000 We have the boots, but there ain't no straps, you know. 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.400 So we things go differently. 00:31:34.480 -->

00:31:37.519 Sometimes they don't happen at all, but our paths are different. 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:45.599 Um, and sometimes I get the sense that a lot of people uh again, no, that when comments are made that it's not as simple as it is. 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:50.640 Sometimes you do need a little help, and maybe you get it, maybe you don't, maybe succeed, maybe you don't. 00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:59.759 Um but I have to remind myself that when I start feeling like I need to do this, you know, there are no excuses, especially now in my stage of life. 00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:02.000 I just either need to go for it or let it go. 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:04.319 Because if I'm gonna go for it, go all in. 00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:11.759 The worst that's gonna happen is it doesn't happen, and you know, you're gonna die soon anyway, so what the fuck, you know, just do it. 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.680 Um so yeah. 00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:24.559 Uh I would really love to know what you guys are listening to and what pods are on your rotation. 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:33.839 Um I do try, I I was looking for stuff that were um I don't know, erotic maybe. 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:41.599 Um I think mostly because of the heated rivalry craze and and uh uh explosion. 00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:46.240 Um I wanted to hear more of these stories, but I didn't want to download another app and buy a subscription. 00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:49.279 I just wanted you know podcast out, you know that. 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.759 Oh, by the way, and I caved. 00:32:53.839 --> 00:33:05.440 A friend of mine bought the behind the scenes the book with the script and the annotations and all of that, and he sent a screenshot of a section that he knew would get me riled up. 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.519 And I'm like, all right, I fucking hate you. 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:08.480 I'm going to buy the book now. 00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:09.359 So I went to the book. 00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:11.200 He's like, Oh, there's a bunch of noble by me. 00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:12.640 So I just picked it up off the shelf. 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:14.880 I'm like, all right, Glenn. 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:17.519 All right, I see you. 00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:22.319 So yeah, I'm getting it should be arriving at some point today. 00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:28.960 Um, yeah, so I'd love to know what you guys are uh listening to these days out there. 00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.200 Uh so yeah, that's that's today. 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.720 Happy I oh, I need, I need, I need people. 00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:39.440 I need to see your costumes this year, please. 00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:40.319 Please. 00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:45.839 I'll tell you that here's here's uh here's a realization, uh a coming out, if you will. 00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.839 Many times, I love Halloween, I really do. 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:57.440 I just never got into it because I never felt that I could be free to exp to express a costume in it, whichever way I want.
