Communication As A Mirror

SPEAKER_03

Alright, so like I said earlier, my name is Lex Rated. And my segment is called Trigger. So now y'all know I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to challenge your thinking. And I've spent years studying human behavior, and one thing I've learned is people blame communication for problems that it didn't create. Communication is like turning on the lights. If your house is dirty, the lights didn't make it any dirtier. The lights just showed you what was already there. And I think we should use communication issues as an excuse because, or we shouldn't. And I think we shouldn't use communication issues as an excuse for the truth just because the truth makes it a lot harder. You don't I'll get I'm gonna tell you. I got you. So everybody says we just have communication problems, do you? Or did somebody finally tell you the truth? Because those are two completely different things. Communication didn't create the disrespect, communication exposed it. Communication didn't create the inner.

SPEAKER_01

Come on, Desk. You got it, Des.

SPEAKER_03

I didn't want to fuck it up. That's why I'm like, wait. No, go ahead. In combat incombality.

SPEAKER_01

That's definitely not it.

SPEAKER_03

In combat in a incapability? Thank you. Why the fuck? What? Was that it? No way that was it. No.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_03

It's capital.

SPEAKER_01

Incompatibility?

SPEAKER_03

Yes, incompatibility. The P is throwing me off. But you could have been ability.

SPEAKER_01

That's what she said.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but compatible. Yeah, too. No. That's the real word, Jazz. Never mind. Capable. Capable. Okay. Thank you. It's two different ones. Like if you're compatible with somebody, or you're capable of having communication, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about you being compatible, compatible with somebody. Communication exposes it. Communication didn't create the lack of effort. Communication exposed that lack of truth. People don't hate poor communication, they hate uncomfortable information. So shut up. I know.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

All right, so let's talk relationships real quick. I feel like I always bring shit like this up, but how many times has somebody said you've changed? No. I just stopped pretending. Or I never knew you felt that way because you never asked. Or worse, you asked, but you weren't listening. How many relationships ended? How many relationships ended because somebody changed? Or how many ended because somebody finally became who they were? I mean who they are, and they were honest.

SPEAKER_01

Never liked the bitch from the beginning.

SPEAKER_03

Really?

SPEAKER_01

Facts. Just dealt with her.

SPEAKER_03

But that that sounds crazy. That's like that does sound crazy. That's light. I think for me, well, go ahead. Like if you don't, if you don't like a person and you don't like, like, you would just deal with it. Like, like they change their behavior if you don't like who they are now.

SPEAKER_01

I love everything you do for me, and I know you genuinely love me, but I don't like you as a person. We're not, we don't mesh.

SPEAKER_03

So like and love is different for you, of course.

SPEAKER_01

100,000 percent.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. You can still love somebody and not like them. I get that. I get that. Alright, so people say I want to be honest. No, you don't. You just want reassurance. Because sec because the second somebody tells you I don't love you anymore, suddenly honesty becomes disrespect. I don't find you attractive. I don't trust you. I don't want kids. I voted differently from you. I don't agree with your lifestyle. People don't want honesty, they want honesty that benefits them, that strokes their ego. So psychology actually has a name for this, and I feel like I've said it like three or four times on here. It's called cognitive dissonance, and it's when new information clashes with what you already believe about yourself or somebody else. So your brain gets uncomfortable, and instead of changing your belief, a lot of people attack the messenger. That's why people say it's not what you said, but it's how you said it. Sometimes that's true, sometimes, but sometimes your tone just became the easiest thing to criticize in that moment. It's easier to critique delivery than to dismantle the truth. So God. Good job, Chad. So families do this all the time. Somebody says, I don't like coming around. I was treated differently. You were a bad person. And the family immediately says, Why are you bringing up OG? Because communication threatens family roles. The moment somebody speaks honestly, the entire system gets uncomfortable. Everybody has an intricate role in their family. The peacemaker, the favorite, the problem child, the responsible one. And me, the black sheep. So how many families are actually close? How many are just avoiding hard conversations? Like those family secrets, the ones that everybody knows about, but the person that it's about. Friendships. This one is always a nasty topic to discuss because I feel like when people say this friendship is one-sided, instead of asking why, people get defensive. I've been busy, you're tripping, or you're doing too much. So now I'm the bad guy. Notice what happens. The conversation immediately becomes defending yourself instead of understanding the other person. Defensiveness is communication too. It usually tells you exactly how the truth has landed. Whether or not a person is listening, listening to understand, or just listening to respond.

Honesty Versus Reassurance

SPEAKER_03

And I was, I don't want to do the topics, even though Destiny is not here. I mean, not topics, politics. I'm gonna skip over that. So one of my most favorite things to talk about on the podcast is social media. People always say, Why didn't you tell me privately? Sometimes, that's a fair question, and sometimes it isn't. Because some people only want private accountability so they can ignore it privately. How many apologies are actually because someone is sorry, and how many happen because they just got caught? That that's really big. I feel like if the um if the disrespect was public, the apology, like the apology should be public. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it should be just as loud.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I feel like it should definitely match energy.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And what uh uh I don't really give a fuck either way. This is just make sure it's genuine.

SPEAKER_03

I get that.

SPEAKER_01

Make sure if you disrespect me publicly, I'm not tripping if you apologize and and and you feel me, if you don't do it publicly, like as long as it's genuine, like you feel me? Like, I ain't tripping. I don't really give a fuck.

SPEAKER_04

That's a decent thing. Yeah, and that is how they go about it. Yeah, their words and everything, too.

SPEAKER_03

But maybe that's because we're women, yeah, and we're a little bit more emotional than men. Yeah, a little. And I'm a cancer. That's accountability.

SPEAKER_01

I'll try that.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I got to sometimes. So when people say we grew apart, did you really, or did one of your uh or did one of you finally stop tolerating behavior? You used to excuse because boundaries feel like betrayal nowadays, especially to people who benefited from you not having any. Communication doesn't end relationships, boundaries expose the ones that were never healthy to begin with.

SPEAKER_01

I agree with that.

SPEAKER_03

Silence also communicates, avoiding the conversation communicates, leaving somebody on red communicates, changing the subject communicates, and body language communicates. If somebody has to keep guessing how you feel, you're already communicating and you're not just doing it to be honest. I think we're blaming communication for things it never did. Communication didn't create liars, it exposed them. It doesn't create incompatibility, it exposes it. It doesn't destroy relationships, sometimes it reveals sometimes it reveals there, sometimes it reveals there wasn't much to save in the first place. So here's what I want to leave everybody with this week and be look pretty much the topic of conversation. If telling the truth destroyed your relationship, did the truth destroy it, or did the truth expose something that was already broken? Because maybe communication isn't the problem, maybe it's like a mirror, and not everybody is ready to look at it all. So that's my conversation that I want to have, or what I want to hear or talk to other people, or my my host this week on communication. If telling the truth destroys your relationship, did the truth destroy it, or did the truth expose something that was already broken?

SPEAKER_06

The truth destroyed it.

SPEAKER_03

Why do you think the truth destroyed it when you just said you don't care? Yeah. I think I don't I wouldn't say destroyed it because I'm big on, you know, just being authentic and just, you know, just from the beginning. Um if you're not upholding anything, you don't have anything to fall off from, or be like, oh, damn, I forgot I said this, or whatever the case is, just be honest and forthcoming. But I think that people avoid the truth because of past traumas, and that's a whole nother conversation. But it's like, so you can't be forthcoming because of something that you either went through or a way that someone reacted when you told them the truth, which that shouldn't affect how you go forward, but for a lot of people it has. Like, if I tell you the truth, then you're not gonna move this way or you're not gonna believe me, or you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04

Like, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Even with what you said, a lot of people are like afraid of the reactions of people too. Like, mm-hmm, like I don't want to tell you the truth because oh, you might get overly mad, or like you might go off, or they just avoid it.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, a perfect example of that is when you see somebody's partner is like cheating on them, uh-huh, and you want to tell the person, but you just know that they either aren't gonna believe you to begin with, or they're not gonna leave that person. Yeah, so it's like you're being honest, and you being honest can have your friend looking at you or that person looking at you like, damn, yeah, I never knew you were like that. So honesty sometimes exposes shit that you didn't see to begin with. And I personally I prefer people be honest, be honest up front, please. So I don't have to like sit back and guess and wonder if it's the truth.

SPEAKER_01

You know, shit ain't gonna come out to the arguments, though.

SPEAKER_03

That's what yeah, that that is a fact. Or when you drunk, sometimes shit comes out when you drunk.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah, shit gonna come out when you drunk.

SPEAKER_03

But like, if I if if if I hear the truth up front, me hearing it again isn't going to affect me. I mean, I shouldn't hear it again, but like in the event that I hear it again from somebody else outside of somebody that I have a friendship with, yeah, it won't hurt as much. If it does hurt, because it might not hurt, it might just be like a like damn, I didn't think about that. So I just I wanted to talk about communication this week because I know I've spoken about it in the past, but I talk more about like effective communication. And this time I wanted to talk about communication and trust, primarily because just because you don't want to hear something from somebody doesn't mean that it shouldn't be heard. Sometimes people have to say shit in order for you to realize something. And I know that sounds crazy just slowing it down because duh, but like what I mean by that is sometimes people have to say something a certain way for you to be like, oh, okay. Yeah. And if that person might not have said it as harsh or brought up the right thing, you might have never exactly, exactly. So I'm

Family Roles And Hard Conversations

SPEAKER_03

always here for communication and be be truthful up front. Don't make me have to guess, don't have me out here struggling. Like it's crazy to watch people struggle just because you didn't want to communicate something to them.

SPEAKER_01

Where's the fun in that though?

SPEAKER_04

I mean, I get it. Life does get a little hectic. There's fun in being healthy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, there's no fun in communicating all the time.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, it is. If you like the person you're communicating with, I need some mystique.

SPEAKER_03

I don't think so, friend.

SPEAKER_01

I need some mystique. I'm the same for me.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like you're over there making up words, but I just don't feel like I hate over-communicating.

SPEAKER_01

It's a childhood trauma thing. I don't I don't like having to tell you where I'm at, where I'm going. I love my independence to the core that I don't feel like I'd communicate. As long as you know I'm healthy, I'm alive, I'm safe, that's all you need to know.

SPEAKER_03

I think it's like maybe you haven't found a person that you want to communicate with in that aspect. Because it's not about keeping tabs, but I think that if you're with someone that makes you want to be like, let me see what my girl is doing, or just let her know what I'm up to. It's not even about keeping tabs on where you at or what you're doing, but just, hey, baby, I was thinking about you, whatever I'm out with the like, I don't know. It's different for everyone, but don't look at it like that. Obviously, if she's forcing you to do those things, yeah, that bitch toxic as fuck. Nah, somebody that you want to do those things.

SPEAKER_01

It's not even like relationship shit, it's just with anybody. Like, if somebody coming right now, like, where you at? What you about to do? Like, why? Why you I give a fuck what you got going on right now. I get that. They was trying to sit back and they was trying to chill with you. I get that.

SPEAKER_03

Somebody done set you up? Because that sounds like some setup backdoor shit.

SPEAKER_01

Nah, just like just not having, like, just being younger, like as a kid, I was just like, I had no freedom. So I just don't like nobody. Look at these air concessions. Right. Yes.

SPEAKER_03

This shit works, man. No advice.

SPEAKER_01

My little Napoleon complex, in a sense.

SPEAKER_03

Were you like a PK, like a preacher? Like, were you in a real religious?

SPEAKER_01

My grandmother was just like real protective.

SPEAKER_03

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_01

That just led to me just like.

SPEAKER_03

I love that for you. I love that for you. But to Jasmine's point, maybe you just haven't found somebody that you want to a thousand percent communicate everything to. Because you either trust them enough to take the truth if you say some shit that's like hurtful or will bruise their ego. And those type of people are like one in a million nowadays. Like, how many people on the planet? Like one in a billion.

SPEAKER_01

I think back then, people don't want to hear the truth. It was easier to tell your other half the truth back in the day. Nowadays, it's just like it feels like you're attacking them.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That is true, but you gotta find your person. Yeah, that's why I keep just saying, You're not planning to date the whole world. You need to find one person that understands you and what you're saying. I get you.

SPEAKER_03

And if they don't communicate the way you do, you kind of do it.

SPEAKER_04

You're not gotta communicate with them if they're not hearing you. Go to somebody that was willing to hear you. That's a good point. I mean, you don't gotta keep seeing it through. Yeah, you can just be like, okay, this isn't gonna work for me.

SPEAKER_03

All right.

SPEAKER_04

Keep pushing.

SPEAKER_03

That's true. And that goes for all types of relationships, but I'm gonna close it out. My name is Lex Rated, and this was triggered. Um, if you were triggered, I did my job. You right, you right. I do need guns alone. Wait, wait, wait. Gun sound. We didn't get out of the jazz. I looked last time when now we were. Oh no, wait.

SPEAKER_01

Shout out to Cleo, just walk in the building.

Public Accountability And Social Media

SPEAKER_03

Oh, okay. Okay, the light word. All right, you guys, you already know it's the segment where we make you a little bit smarter. The words of the week with Jasmine like the flower. And I don't got CEO over here cheating today, so I could sit comfortably.

SPEAKER_01

Fair game, fair game today.

SPEAKER_03

The first word that we're gonna get into today is an adjective. And this word is aristic. Aristic is spelled E-R I S T I C. Aristic. I'm not cheating, I promise. Aristic? It sounds like aristocrat. Aristocrat. And I know, but it's not. Yeah, but it's not it's not the same thing. No, it's so. But what is okay, you said it's a little bit different. What is, come on, y'all. Let's work together. I feel like what is aristocrat mean? What does aristocrat mean? That's like aristocrat? You asking me? Yeah, yeah. That's different.

SPEAKER_01

Aristic sound like it sounds like somebody that's like, uh it's spelled differently, so it has nothing to do with it. Oh, damn. It just sounds like that.

SPEAKER_03

E-R-I, S T-I-C. You got root words. It sounds I do, yeah. So this comes from the Greek word iris, meaning strife. So like a bitter conflict, disagreement.

SPEAKER_01

Bitter conflict, disagreement.

SPEAKER_03

My guess is it is a type of argument. Okay. What does somebody else think?

SPEAKER_01

An intense debate?

SPEAKER_03

It could be. Yeah, it could be. That's pretty much what I said. Kind of disagreement.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I try to reword it.

SPEAKER_05

Is it somebody that that's ready to be combative? Mmm.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, all problematic ass nick. That already comes into the situation. Negative name. Um, yep, in other words, so pretty much the definition to this is relating to an argument for the sake of winning rather than finding the truth. So they're giving you that push. What's that word? Anarchism. This is auristic. So I would say in a sentence, he or she's an heuristic person, never wanting answers, only victory. Mm-hmm. So it doesn't even matter what's said or whatever. I know a bitch like that.

SPEAKER_01

She just wanted to bait. I said the sky blue, I say it's blue. That bitch is gonna say it's red. I know a bitch like that.

SPEAKER_03

E Ragnarok, S-T-I-C. Pussy though. You want to use it in a sentence, Seven?

SPEAKER_05

I don't know. I was gonna say, like, them type of people like only listen to respond. They're not really listening to you.

SPEAKER_03

They listen, they just they just listen to trigger you. Facts. All these words are having to do with communication in some way. So this other word is Don't look at me. I feel like I misspelled that word. How you spell it? Never mind. E-R-I-E-L, later. I'm not gonna. Yeah, I'm sorry. Apa psiapisis. Uh why am I fucking stuck? I said a match time. No, not applesauce. Appa siapisis. Aposiapisis, which is the nine. Now. Apposiapis. Donna, you treat you. No, she's texting. She's texting. I was being nosy. Apposiapisis.

SPEAKER_01

Apposiapisis. Three words. Okay. Compound. Triple compound. Triple compound.

SPEAKER_03

It's spelled A. I think he might be talking about syllable. It's spelled A-P-O-S-I-O. Uh-huh. What's the root word? That's a big thing. The root word. It comes from a Greek word. Applesiapisis. Same shit. Meaning becoming silent.

SPEAKER_01

Mmm. Say the word one more time.

SPEAKER_03

Applesiapisis. That means becoming silent, or is that the whole word? That's the whole word. Apposiapisis. I just know. The Greek word is pronounced applesia.

SPEAKER_01

That's somebody who becomes a mom and he takes a job too seriously. So we leave it as a lifestyle.

SPEAKER_03

Repeat that one more time for the viewer.

SPEAKER_01

That's somebody who become a mom for a job and then he liked he likes it so much he ends up doing it as a lifestyle. He takes it too seriously.

SPEAKER_03

Like a stay-at-home dad? No, I think he's. Are you saying what?

SPEAKER_01

He become a mime. Like he becomes a mime.

SPEAKER_03

I thought he was a mom.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. I was like, he ended up liking it so much, he takes it so serious, he becomes an Ekopala apple apple cider leeches. Whatever you think.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, apple cider something. Apple cider pieces. Apple cider pieces. Does anybody else want to take any guesses?

SPEAKER_05

We got two reasons to be quiet like that. Like, kind of like how you said, like, uh shifting your focus makes you be quiet like that. Or like being sneaky. Being sneaky? Okay. Or that's the only two ways. Like, if your focus changed you to be that, or like nothing I said.

SPEAKER_03

No, hell no. Either one of those, even still. You said two ways. This word is basically intentionally breaking on, breaking off a sentence before finishing for a dramatic. So yeah, like or if you you know with your mom in the store, and she's like, you know what? Say something else that I'm gonna Oh yeah, that pop. Like you fill in the blank. Yeah, you fill in the blank. Don't play with me. Don't play with me. I love it. Oh, like boy if you don't. Yeah, yeah. I use boy if you don't, yeah. Because every time I say it, I see the meme in my head. I know rappers that do that.

SPEAKER_01

What rapper do that? I love that word. He'll leave a bar open for you to finish the bar. Type shit.

SPEAKER_03

P Solo? P Solo, Uncle, whatever the fuck he be saying that one. I like that word. He the bat battle rapper, baby face rapy doing that too. Alright. Apple cider. Yeah. That one. The next word is gonna be a noun, and it's circumlocution. Circle, circumlocution. That sounds like you trim it some lock. Spelled C-I-C-U-M L-O-C-U-T-I gotta guess. Is it when you cut somebody off in the middle of a sentence? Oh, this is communication.

SPEAKER_01

No. Oh, damn. It sounded like a finisher move.

SPEAKER_03

I was confident how confident.

SPEAKER_01

It sounded like a finisher move or Mortal Kombat.

SPEAKER_03

Circle lucky move. Circum Lucusion.

SPEAKER_01

Where did my day?

SPEAKER_05

Sound like remove something.

SPEAKER_03

To remove something? No. Yeah, yeah, because the circumcision is a good thing. That's why I said cut somebody off because I saw a circum. The root word is comes from a Latin word circum, which is around. Wow. Loqui, meaning to speak. We were way off. Very circumlocution. Um I have another guest. No, when you I think it's it to go ahead, Seven.

SPEAKER_05

Is it to like give you a runaround?

SPEAKER_03

Pretty much. Yeah, I was gonna say to talk in circles to say the same thing. Pretty much exactly what it is. So it's basically using many unnecessary words instead of speaking directly.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, the circuit mean indirect in this way. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03

Because you keep going around and around. Oh, like you're going to something like that.

Trust, Trauma, And Over-Communicating

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. So I would say, please stop decorating your lies with pure circumlocution. Please just stop. Stop. Cut it. We got that one. These are some good words. Like I feel like I can use all of these if I if I remember how to pronounce it. Yeah. If I can pronounce it without fucking it up, I would yeah, I would kill it. I still don't know. I know the first one was like. It don't sound like artistic. So the last word is gonna be a doozy. This is also a noun. And the wordsie? It was? You know what a doozy is? Me too. Me too. Okay, this word is grandiloquence. Grandiloquence is spelled G-R A-N-D-I-L-O-Q-U-E-N-C-E. Grandiloquence. That's in the dictionary? This is in the dictionary. This is crazy. Grandiloquence.

SPEAKER_01

Is that what you get your words from?

SPEAKER_03

Grandiloquence. I get them from my brain. No, I'm lying. I'm learning right along with y'all. So yeah, I just do a little bit of research. I got like a list of words that I want to I'm just I'm just amazed at like the type of words that are in the dictionary. I feel like there's no way I've never read a dictionary.

SPEAKER_01

Of course you have.

SPEAKER_03

Grandiloquence. I got a dictionary and I got a thesaurus in my face. You got a thesaurus too? Okay.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I want I'm I wanted to have both of them. Thesaurus is worn out, honey. Reading a dictionary isn't hard, but it would be nice to know all the words in the dictionary. I can learn a lot of the words in the dictionary.

SPEAKER_01

You have to flash cards.

SPEAKER_03

It's a lot to memorize. Yeah, that that's why it's interesting. It was okay. So listen, the root word to grandiloquence is comes from a Latin word, grandis, which is great, and loqui, which is to speak. Local speak. Uh is it is it like slang? Not really, no. Okay. Important speech. Just think of the grand part of it, grandiloquence. So is it making a speech? Like a grand entrance. No, but the important game? What do you want to say? So what do you want to guess?

SPEAKER_01

Grandriloquence?

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, what's the word for grandiloquence? Grandiloquence.

SPEAKER_03

You were like rolled off your tongue. It was it, yeah. It's a noun. No, he said what's the root words again. Oh, the root word. Oh, okay. Grandiloquine. Alright, so basically the word is what the fuck I wrote. Uh oh. Oh, um speech that is speech that is lofty, pompous, or extravagantly impressive.

SPEAKER_01

That's what I was about to say.

SPEAKER_03

How did you say, you know, I was about to say that? It's not a speech, but it's basically words. Words that are lofty, pompous, or extravagant. So it's like his grandiloquence fooled everyone until the results were due. I can dig it. Damn, which results?

SPEAKER_01

She's saying damn.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, like flamboyant, like just using big ass words, coming off extravagant and impressive. Mm-hmm. So all right, but I wanted to do something to love today, and I wanted to put this all into a paragraph. Okay, all right. So the paragraph says the meeting wasn't productive, it was auristic. Competition disguised as collaboration. One person relied on circumlocation. What the fuck is the word again? Wow. Circumlocution to avoid accountability. Another filled the room with empty grandiloquence to sound like a visionary. When someone finally challenged them, the response was if you think that that's bad, wait until the sudden apposia pieces left everyone wondering whether the silence was strategy, intimidation, or just the loudest statement of the day. I was dropping. I'ma be honest. After you said uh wait until tonight, I just immediately went to the song. If you think you're lonely. So like I completely stopped listening. Yes, I stopped listening after that. I was I kept singing that fucking song. That was a good paragraph, though, because I feel like you use those words fluently. I guess. Why thank you, darling? Well, that was words of the week, you guys, with Jasmine like the flower. Now go be the smartest at brunch. We'll be we're all if we could remember how to pronounce these words, yeah, we would really be like the smartest at brunch. Absolutely. Every time.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_03

I don't think it's a triple compound. It's not.

SPEAKER_01

It was a triple compound.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you. Everybody. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I love the definitions that it all did. I love I love the definitions and the words.

SPEAKER_03

You switch. They were all like a theme.

SPEAKER_01

They remind me of my ex.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_01

That's bad.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_01

But the words was good, though. The ex is bad. But the words was good.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Well. It's your girl Diamond All About Me.

SPEAKER_01

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_04

And here we are with Unhinged Healing.

SPEAKER_01

Here we are.

SPEAKER_04

Um, since we're talking about communication, I did want to kind of jump off of Lex and talk about how clarity does not bring comfort. So somebody telling you the things that you need to hear is not gonna be what you want to hear all the time. So I think a lot of ways we get mixed up in that is in like relationships. And we just tend to get caught up in our words and just whatever we're doing. Um when it comes to somebody telling you the truth, it's their truth, and you don't get to dictate how they react to anything or just how they feel about anything. When you're having conversations with people, it's their truth. So when they give you that clarity, it might not be what you want to hear, but you have to accept it because it's their truth. And even if you don't want to accept it, it's still their truth. Okay, okay. Oh but also I feel like now when we are talking to somebody, we want them to tell us the truth, and we don't want to get mad. Oh, thank y'all. Y'all want me to dare my face on the princess. But you know, when we are talking to somebody, you know, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your significant other, whoever it is, and you wanna have that face-to-face, and you just wanna hear what they have to say, just listen. You can't, you can't don't put too much on yourself to not get mad or anything. You're gonna have your emotions no matter what. You might get upset, you might want to cry, you might not feel away, but understand that once you get the answer you're looking for, it might not be what you want or what you wanted to hear. You don't got a lash out, it's okay, it's just communication. That's all we're doing here. And I also did want to point out that soon we'll be doing um hot topics on my nightcap on YouTube. Um so get ready for that. Um, we will start premiering that on Monday, July 6th. Period. Yeah, yeah. Um, we'll be posting that about 8 or 9 p.m. Eastern time. Um, and you'll just be hearing all the topics that's been going on daily. Like today, how we proposing um what is that building? The Empire State Building. At the top of it? At the top of it. That's fire.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02
