[@BlackGirlInADoggoneWorld]

1:20:47 Melyssa accusing him of baiting Rapsody about Lady London was weird, especially AFTER he said she was incredible TWO times. I guess it was a little too much arm touching and daps exchanged before Melyssa wanted to create a problem. 🙄😑 And she's right back at it again at 1:28:21 after Ish suggested she had somebody new at 1:26:00. This is cringy AF. She might burst into flames if Ish reaches over and gives Rapsody a hug. I kinda want him to do it solely to remind Melyssa that Ish is not her "territory."

Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.

[@LongsdorfHeister]

I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice l've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million, and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news. Chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.

[@SheltonVy]

What opportunities are there in the market, and how do l profit from it?

[@EcklandEaring]

You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.

[@matobama42]

I would really like to know how this actually works.

[@EcklandEaring]

All you need is a good capital, and the service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.

Good episode. I just wish they could've got into more rap talk with Rapsody besides just Kendrick-Drake. I know that's the topic of convo, but she's such a unique elite tier lyricist that more rap dialogue would've been nice to hear-Like her favorite pens ever, her thoughts on styles, talking more about her work songs/albums specifically and etc.
