Joe not being there to undercut everything Mel tries to say was refreshing. Salute to the crew

[@elark123]

Word. I found myself skipping pods recently cuz joes constant disruption was starting to trigger my anxiety. I was actually able to go to sleep to this episode.

I'm done with Patreon. This was it, pandering to brokies. Now I understand. I'm paying $25 for early access for some videos, then they post it public. I can wait. Plus Max is cheaper. I rather be on youtube comments & reddit than"their" discord. 520 podcast is funnier anyways. 🤣

[@Joandry___]

“In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.”- Mel

[@MissingMyPeeps]

So is she Dropping Laws and keeping Order this episode?

[@quentonhorton1053]

This is the convo I know for a fact a lot of people without the social capital of affluence (the inside scope on how money is made) need. You all did extremely well. Parks is a marquee example of how to be an Ally when he VOCALLY excludes himself from a topic. Flip we know you are loving bro-that’s why you be fighting and be amp-but yo let other people fight their fights. They need the contact.

[@reno419rockstar]

Ally? WTF. Are you brainwashed? Why would you put that tag on that man? It's disgusting and disrespectful. Allies don't like you. They only tolerate you to fulfill their agenda. When it's over, they are done with you.

"Charlie Wilsons War" was FIRE! And Phillip Seymour Hoffmans performance was AMAZING in that jawn.

[@CR-tv5dm]

Mel's question on unlearning the nonsense gave the guys an amazing opportunity to speak some truth. Men need to make the change first, then the ladies should follow.

[@reno419rockstar]

I wish I can unsee this nonsense. Change and choice is an individual thing, never a group thing.

[@CR-tv5dm]

@@reno419rockstar So are you saying you can't have open dialogue about change as a group? Also, do you not think the relationship dynamics between black men and women could use some re-examining as a collective? Not to say that the convo and results are applicable to all, but so that we all have an understanding of the majority issue?

[@racheller8753]

What ice said was emotionally mature and awesome amazing.. Arguing is trying to get someone to change their mind. You can literally just express our thoughts and know that we feel different and that's it!! Brilliant!

[@reno419rockstar]

Emotional maturity is a buzzword that refers to having the self-control to manage emotions and understand them.

[@monteblanc1622]

0:46 "Did you hear about Kobe?" Visiting my parents in Florida. Sitting in a rocking chair in the lanai with my infant daughter - it was a beautiful day. It was around 2 o'clock when my parents came home from church with my 3 year old. I've been around long enough to know what that question usually precedes, so... that alone made my heart drop. I asked him to pause before he said it, but no matter how much I tried to prepare it didn't work. I just remember him saying something about the helicopter-- "Shit!" So I handed him the baby and I swear I sat out there from then until the sun went down. Not quite the way I wanted to watch the sun go down. I couldn't get up until my brother came over and got me. Went inside and saw it on the new for the first time. Went upstairs, washed my face, they still had it on the news. Sat with my 3 year old as they talked and I started losing it. My daughter came over to me and asked me what was wrong. Watched him from the beginning, since he was a rookie. He was only a few years older than me, so I saw him almost as a peer... an inspiration. I was invested in bro and seeing him win - not just as an athlete, but in life. Getting that news was beyind heartbreaking. Almost 4 years later, it STILL hurts. Surreal seeing clips of him, hearing his voice and thinking, "wow, he's really gone! How?"💔 R.I.P. KB 🙏🏾🕊

Ish just described the blind leading the blind. If the men didn't have a teacher/father etc present, stop trying to lead women anywhere when you don't even know where to go. Figure yourself out first. Parks is so enjoyable to listen to. The level headed, untainted, common sense point of view is always so refreshing. Its almost a shame how smooth these episodes go, conversationally, when Joe is not there.
