[@nadiel42]

Men out here being more loyal to their barbers than their women 😂😭😂

[@FaithMcCaffrey]

Fr my husband has been seeing his barber longer than we've been dating/married

[@Jared_7071]

If it comes down to it I’ll choose my barber over my gf 😂

[@jacknapyer]

Women need to learn how do a fresh fade but they don’t want to because they scared they man will cheat if he look too fresh in them streets. It’s an ouroboros 😂😂

[@vice8063]

So all we have to do is become barbers? 🤔✂️😆

[@vice8063]

@@jacknapyer actually it works against them having the best fade from his lady… does he really wanna risk losing her and walking around looking tossed while she’s fading the next man 😅

The “this is James Duncan, you usually cut my hair at 4pm on a Wednesday” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 kills meeeeee

[@natashamalloch4547]

As a taxi driver i get a lot of people confessing their deepest darkest secrets, especially after they have been drinking and are on their way home. Normally quite funny stuff. However, on the flip side i have had 2 different guys who confessed they were suicidal over losing their kids to messy ex relationships. One guys destination was the cliffs in dover. I ended up sitting with the guy in my taxi for almost 2 hours talking and allowing him to vent his feelings and managed to convince him to go home and seek some professional help to get access to his kids. Its important to listen when someone confesses stuff to you as you may be the only person they feel they can talk to as you are outside of the situation. Depression sucks and im so glad you guys did this video to show guys its ok to talk about your problems xx

[@baf00nery]

Massive respect to u Natasha❤👏🏾

[@CharlotteCarroll-in1ro]

Thank you for doing that for that person ❤️

[@fishnutz5196]

People tend to open up to randoms that they dont know. As a PT i get clients opening up about all sorts of struggles too. Sometimes you end up being their only person to vent to.

[@khryspaul]

@natashamalloch4547 Bless you for taking the time to allow him to vent to you 🙏🏽 the world needs more people like you

[@carlosdossantos1251]

I think this episode gave the women an insight of a barbers experience as a man 😂😂

[@jessicamunda1807]

My brother and my dad told me this. It is the exact same with women. I've only used a handful (4 or 5) of hairdressers in my 28 years. That shit is sacred. Nails are the same. I'm just out here spilling my secrets 😂🙈

[@jessicamunda1807]

Also, braids can take 4-6hrs and even more depending on the style so plenty of time to spill all of the tea!💃🏿💅🏿😝

The barber shop section took me out💀 the first time I ever went to one I tried to use a card… he laughed stuck it in the air and said “what I’m supposed to do with this” I was so embarrassed 💀 we ended up dating for 2yrs😂😂 And yea I’ve definitely bought steak from the crackhead at the shop

[@haddingtoniangcp2464]

You braaave! Steak from a crackhead?? Reminds me of journalists drinking tea Amy Winehouse poured out for them when they were outside her place. I'm consuming nothing from a substance abuser!!!

[@brownhippiex496]

I need so much more context !

[@nihilpizza6291]

STEAK?😭

[@zebafarihafarooq390]

I'm a real SNG fan cuz even if I can't use my hands for the next two hours cuz I have henna on, I still used the tip of my nose to smash that like button as soon as I opened the video 😏🏋🏻‍♀️

This is the best way to explain black men in therapy and black boy joy. I love that y’all have that safe space

Just finished this episode. I’ve never noticed before but James is so affectionate. He’s so touchy feeling towards fuhad on a mandem level. It’s so refreshing to see the love and comfort level between them. Real Guys!

Random observation.... why is James always on the right and Fuhad on the left? Y'all should switch sides for an episode just to see if it feels weird 😅

[@bandilenzimande5253]

I have seen this in older episodes. My eyes was switching sides weird😂

Nah let’s not do that!!! The thought alone feels weird…. 🤣

That barber shop chat reminds me of hair salons here in South Africa 💀 One time I woke up at 05:30am cause I had a 6am "appointment", when I arrived the lady was already doing someone else's hair 🥲 she looked me dead in my eyes and said she almost done... Guys she was half way through thin booty length knotless braids 🧍🏾‍♀️... Half and hour later she then asked her colleague to do my hair 😭 I took the risk cause emotionally I was already down bad and close to crying 💀... she did an excellent job 🥺

[@mpumelelomkhize7176]

Imagining a group therapy session of barbers comparing notes of all the wierd traumatic sh*t they have to listen to😂 like we dont get paid enough for this!😂

[@itsjustme843]

Nice podcast guys, I just recently found you and have been hooked ever since!!! I can totally relate to the guy whose drunk father told him he was an unwanted accident basically. I was five months pregnant with my first son and due to unfortunate things in a four year long relationship, we just couldn't work things out so I moved home with my mom and stepdad. Well because I was pregnant I couldn't drink alcohol, so I was kind enough to usually or always be the designated driver for all of my drunk female relatives. We lived in California at the time and when I was eight months along, I went to pick them up one night from a different city that you could only get to by using the freeway and then driving up and then back down a mountain. It was my mother, sister, aunt, and I in the car that night and when I got there they were all plastered! As soon as we got in the car, my mom wanted to turn up the music full blast and I just wasn't having it because it was 2:30 in the morning, and it was extremely foggy that night and driving down a foggy mountain with the music full blast and them screaming in the car at each other and laughing as loud as they could was a complete distraction for me and I wasn't taking any chances being eight months pregnant. The drive was about ten minutes down the mountain and then another fifteen on the freeway that was even more foggy than the mountain. I couldn't see two feet in front of me and had all these drunk assholes in the car with me, so my mother and I started arguing a bit because I kept telling them to shut up and wouldn't let them turn the music full blast. So we get home and my mother is not done arguing with me even though she is the one doing most of the arguing. She proceeded to call me every name in the book, told me I was an ugly hateful bitch, said that she couldn't stand me, that the reason I was the youngest and was born five years younger than my siblings was because I was truly an accident, that she never wanted me to begin with!!!! I hate the word bitch because she used it so many times that night. You know when girls get together and are having fun and say things like bitch please, just any playful way of using that word, well, I haven't ever been able to do that and absolutely cringe and hate it when people do that or just say it like that because to me it isn't a cute or playful word, its horrible!!! She has apologized profusely since and said she was drunk but I don't think that is an excuse, and I happen to personally believe that drunk people tell some extent of the truth because they don't have their subconscious holding them back. I told her I forgave her but that I wouldn't ever forget it!!! She doesn't even know what she did to me as a person that night, and that night my whole life and world changed! So yes, very unfortunately, I know what that man went through or to some extent how he felt! And its not good. It was shortly after that night that my anxiety and depression and a whole other slew of problems started for me because from that night on, I was worthless!!! Its been years now and I have gotten a little better, but I still have those nightmares every now and again! I hope no one ever has to go through that kind of an emotional f$%#, I wouldn't wish it on an enemy!!! Sorry to have taken up so much of everyone's time, take care, and stay safe out there!!!! AND LOVE EACH OTHER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

[@mareshareid4034]

I'm sorry you experienced such an awful encounter. You are not worthless. You were/are a miracle birth and you deserve love. If I were you, I would release the sadness onto the person who caused it. Write her a letter explaining exactly how she has made you feel and let her carry some of the heaviness.

[@stephaniemartin9253]

@itsjustme I genuinely am so sorry that mom couldn’t be a mom. I don’t know your recovery path from this. Please take care of yourself because you deserve the best mommi💕

When I was around 10, I was telling my little brother that HE was a mistake because my mom had just told me that she really wanted a girl and I came 🙂. She had a son and sadly passed away as a baby, that's when my oldest brother was planned. Then I was next, so my little brother was definitely Not planned. My mom heard us arguing and she went over and said--"Yes Jonathan, you were a mistake." My brother's face was priceless 🤣. But the joke was on us because he was obviously and clearly the favorite! 🤣. It's been almost a year and a half since my little brother was violently taken away from us and I miss him every day. He was the most fun/lovable/crazy mistake we ever had. We all miss him so much.

[@MrFrigglesworth]

1:04:28 IMO most men are attracted to women’s hair that’s longer than a man’s hair due to that being a feminine look. Again this is just my opinion on the matter! But some women do look really good with short hair because their facial features are extremely feminine so it doesn’t take away from it.
