Taylor is in here with me, but she's working or whatever. So when she's tired of y'all, she said she's tired of y'all sending in all these bullshit stories. Y'all can't spell. Y'all can't read. Nothing. So listen, she's pregnant. Also, she just she just tired. That's all. Baby's kicking.
And the baby is kicking y'all. So she she's sick of y'all just like I was sick of y'all before. But she's going to be. So just bear with it. Y'all know if y'all ever been pregnant, y'all know it's a lot of fucks that you don't give about a lot of shit. So it's very hard to be pregnant and to care about a lot of shit other than the baby. Are you nervous?
Yes. For birth? Okay. Yes. You are? Because this is her first one. She's having a little boy. And this is her first baby. This is her and her man's first baby. So is he starting to get on your nerves? Is he starting to...
No, I mean, he's going to be that phase that you go through. Yeah. I mean, we get into like little tiny arguments, but it's like he just says my hormonal. Yeah. But he's a good he's good, though. Now, listen, I know I've shed a little bit of light on this before, but Taylor, when I was pregnant, Taylor just didn't.
I'm not going to say she didn't want kids, but she didn't want to be the one to have the kids. This is the woman who said that she doesn't feel like women should have to carry a baby for nine months. And she still feels that way. I still wholeheartedly... I just feel like, cool, the experience is great. Oh, I get to feel his flutter. It's cool. But...
I still want to like do some other stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Like you want to be able to smoke. You want to be, you want to break from being pregnant. Like not much straight is too goddamn long for you. But did you know that elephants, African elephants have to be pregnant for two years? Isn't that crazy? Yeah. And you, while you sitting over here complaining about nine months, them big motherfuckers got to walk around with another big motherfucker inside of them for two years.
Two years. Just saying. Fun fact. Like, no, elephant like fun fact. Bitch, that ain't fun. Y'all fucking humans complain about so much shit. How are you going to, how do you plan to give birth, boo? Do you plan to go natural, epidural? Just,
Just get in your business a little bit. I know I'm not, I mean, I don't know. We'll see. I'm not going to make it out of the thing. I'm going to try to. You're not going to make it out of the thing. I'm going to try as hard as I can, but throw me the epidural as soon as like. Yeah, like. But I feel like I can see myself like, all right, I can't do it no more. It's going to be too late. And I'm going to push that big head baby out. Oh, I know. That's going to be beautiful though. I love it. I would love to see it like. Ah!
I know. It's just a pain. That's all. Like, if it was just easy without, like, I'd be cool. So do you want more than one kid? He does. I'm like, let's get through. I want a family. He's already talking about the second one. Yes, I want a family. Can we get through this one first? I got you. And then we'll see. I just think because it's your first time, you kind of psych yourself out. And that's fine. But girl, you will look back and be like, okay, I can do this again. Because once you do it once, it's like...
I can do it again. The only thing that makes you not want to do it again is if your baby bad as shit. And you're like, another one. Exactly. I'm having a boy. Yes. The hyper and everything else like that. He's going to be so close to him. Daddy, girl. Oh, my God. He's going to be in love. Yo, your man is going to be so in love with this baby. I know. It's going to be hard for you to be like it.
He was like, look, go ahead, babe. I mean, I got this. I've been doing this more than you. You're going to turn in a sway on you. I mean, you're going to turn in a Kanye on you and everything. This is his son, girl. Oh, I know. I already see it. He's... Yeah. Yeah. I already know how he's about to be. How he is now. But he thinks he's about to put another one in me. Like...
Soon as possible. I had to tell mom, I was like, why don't you want me to be like, happy? Shut up. Stop, yo. So are you going to do the mommy makeover shit? Are you going to, because you're breastfeeding, so you're already going to go backsnatch. Now listen, Taylor got a body. Okay. I just want to let y'all know. Okay. So when she come back, snatch, don't be talking about, oh, did she do Ozempic or did she lay down on the table to get fucking BBL because she's scared to have a damn baby. So what makes you think she's going to let somebody put her under? Yeah.
to do some light pose she ain't gonna do it she a scared ass girl so it ain't gonna happen but I can't wait to see what the snapback gonna give cause I'm telling you that breastfeeding is like working out even though you're probably gonna work out anyway but the breastfeeding like it helps your stomach go back down like quickly so I'm glad to hear that you are breastfeeding
Hang in there, Pat. She's going to have another one. All right. All right. Now we're going to jump straight into it. I just had to get, because Taylor's my girl. I still cannot believe that she actually is pregnant. Like, I'm not saying I don't believe it. I just can't believe it. I'm like, oh my God, this was one of the last people. That's,
that I thought would have a baby because there's no incubators that you can put the baby in. It's 2035. Science needs to step up. To finish the pregnancy. Science needs to step up, for real. Science needs to step up. For real, because they're still trying to make flying cars. Yeah. They still trying to make men have babies too. Some type of way we got these sciences trying to see what's going on. That would be nice too. What would be nice too? If niggas can have babies? I'm just saying. Hear me out. Well,
So, yeah, I told him I'm going to get the contraction belt too for him. And he's like, oh, you want to be, you mean in that sense, like you want him to be able to feel the pain that you're feeling. Yeah. So then maybe he can like not put another one in you right away. Because if he knows what you're feeling, maybe he will like cut back on it. We can wait two to five years. And I understand like our bodies are made for this and everything. I'm not taking that back. I'm just saying, yeah, for sure. You know, everybody's different. We both share this baby.
You're going to carry it for a couple months or so. Oh, you mean like, okay, so in nine months, so you carried the baby for four and a half months and then he carried the baby for four and a half months. Yeah, like make it fair. If you love me, you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back. September 1979. Virginia's top prison band, Edge of Daybreak, is about to record their debut album, Behind Bars, in just five hours. Okay, we're rolling. One, two, three.
I'm Jamie Petras, music and culture writer. For the past five years, I've been talking to the band's three surviving members. They're out of prison now and in their 70s. Their past behind them. But they also have some unfinished business. The end of Daybreak, Eyes of Love was supposed to have been followed up by another album.

My podcast, This Is Working, can help with that. Here's advice from Google CMO Lorraine Tuhill on how to treat AI like a partner.
I see AI as an incredible co-pilot. You may use different tools or toys to get the work done, but ultimately as editor, as creator, as maker, you own it and it needs to be good. AI is just the latest flavor of that. You're still the judge of what good looks like. I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor-in-chief. On my podcast, This Is Working, leaders like Indra Nooyi, Ray Dalio, and Rich Paul share strategies for success and the real lessons that have shaped them.

This is like two husbands ago. Like, what are we even talking about?
And I ask her what it's like raising a trans daughter during Trump's second term. When you offer up the trans community as a sacrificial lamb, if you open the door to say, well, take these people, now the door is open and they coming for everybody. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I get it, though. Like, women were powerful. Yeah. Because there's going to be some women like, but... First time for a while, bitch. Yeah, like, I get it. Don't ever let her back on a podcast because, like... I'm just saying, like, it's a lot. It's my first one. Give me a break. It's okay. No, I'm giving you a break. Trust me. I understand. But them niggas ain't never having no babies. So here we go. Because you know what I stand for. You know. All right, let's get it. Ha!
Taylor Swift, give me a trouble. They're going to be writing in like, first of all, bitch, like, don't come for us. They already think we're fighting an army. But I understand that's what separates us too, though. Not for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But here we are. Hi, Jess. I feel so broken and lost. I've been trying to find where I fit in in this world. I have come a long way and I'm proud of where I am in life. I just feel like I'm not happy with it and I'm not sure why. Sometimes I think maybe I'm not happy with myself, so it affects my stability with my emotions.
There will be times where I overwork myself to get where I want to be and I definitely get it done. But once it's done, I'm like, what's next? This is it. If I'm not busy doing something, then I feel unproductive, even though I have accomplished so much. I have always struggled with just not feeling like I'm enough or even doing enough. So I kind of stay with me, I guess. Oh, so it kind of stays with me, I guess.
I'm not sure how to fix this, but I just know that I want to be okay and really drown in my accomplishments because I came too far. I just don't know how. Have you ever felt like you weren't doing enough? Yes, I felt like that. I feel like that a lot of times. I feel like that right now. Shit. Like it's, it's a lot, you know, going on even with like,
Since I've come back to work, you know, after being gone for about three months, you know, taking care of this new baby, you know, I'm seven months postpartum now. And I've felt, you know, a little lost a lot, you know, a lot lost and broken. Some people will put that on postpartum depression. I don't claim that just because I'm.
You know, I haven't really been diagnosed with it. So, you know, clinically, like I really haven't gone to a doctor and shared these thoughts that I've been having since having my baby or since returning to work and things like that. So I have not been clinically diagnosed with postpartum depression. You know, I just kind of stick with it, keep my head up, work and, you know, everything.
My fiance affirms me and, you know, being around my kids makes me happy. I feel guilty when I'm away from my baby girl. I feel like I'm not doing enough. I always feel like that maybe my time has passed, like, you know, as as this this nice big sensation or whatever. You know what I mean? I always feel like there's something that I could be doing and I am doing a lot of shit now.
You know, I have a lot going on and sometimes I feel like it's not enough hours in a day to get everything that I have to do done. But still, at the end of the day, yes, I do feel like I'm not doing enough. So I think that's very human because you hear you're having the same problem and you're not even. Well, I don't know. I can't say that you don't have any kids or whatever. Yeah.
I can't say that you, I can't even say that you just had a baby, you know, but I felt like you would have told me that. So I'm just going to go off of what you told me. You're feeling this way. And I felt that way. I still feel this way at times. And the difference between us, I'm just going to assume is that I just had a baby. So it goes that, you know, that goes to show you that this is a very humanistic thing that you could feel and it's okay to feel that way. I know you may be
It may get you down and get you in a funk, but pay attention to what you have done. That's what I've learned. Pay attention to what you have done and your accomplishments. You feel like you're not enough, but you have done so much, you know, basking your ask and your accolades girl basking your accolades. Make sure you are giving yourself grace. You know, you're only human. It is only 24 hours in a day, you
you know, and while you are probably a jack of all trades, a person that wears many hats, you still have to master each craft one by one. You can't spread yourself thin trying to do everything the best, you know. Did she say what she does? She did not say what she does. She did not. I wish she would have gone a little bit more into it, what she's done, but she did not say what she's done. But that's what I got for you, boo. I want you to just
give yourself some grace and continue to bask in your accolades, girl. It's okay. Shit. Fix that crown on your head. Keep your head up and keep working. Keep working. Understand that. Understand you can't do a lot of things by yourself too, depending on what you are doing and what your goals are in life and what your career choices, whatever your path is, um, and the type of work you do, whatever industry you're in, it's okay to ask for help. I didn't get where I am without a team, you know, and, and,
Maybe some members of the team wasn't the best for me at the time, but I still didn't do it all by myself. You know, you need everybody needs somebody to make these big things happen. You know what I mean? And I mean, like my different companies that I that I mean, my different businesses that I have, you know.
Just hilarious as a company is a business, you know, by itself. But there are different departments and umbrellas, you know, under that that big house. You know what I mean? There are different rooms. That's why I look at my company like a mansion. There are different rooms, like different houses, different departments and shit like different floors that do different things. I can't just run it all by myself.
I oversee everything and I do majority of the work because I am CEO, but there is a COO. There is a creative director. There is a producer there, you know, so there are different puzzles. I mean, different pieces to the puzzle that makes it complete. You know what I mean? And you can't do it all alone. It sounds like you may be dealing with something like that as well. Uh,
You need you need some of your time freed up to do other things that you want to get to. You can't do it by yourself. So build a team, build a team, because I'm trying to figure out how I can give you proper advice when your damn story was boneless. Every time there is something that is missing, I'm going to call the story boneless when I feel like ain't enough, ain't enough. It ain't enough. OK, I need for you to let me know what's going on. All right. So, um.
It's OK. Don't beat yourself up. Don't get down on yourself. You know what I mean? Give yourself grace. Continue to pray. I don't know if you believe in God, if you're a God for a woman, whoever you believe to, whoever you believe your creator is. Pray, pray, go to them. You know what I mean? Start reading. Start meditating. You know, find different ways to clear your mind. You need somebody to talk to, you know, because if you leave all of this bottled up.
Who are you unleashing on? What is your outlet? You know, it sounds like all you do is work, work, work, work, work. And you're not even appreciating yourself for the work that you've already done and the work that you're doing. You know what I mean? So one, you need a team to work.
You need meditation. You need somebody you can talk to about this. You know what I mean? And you need to give yourself grace. Yeah. It's okay to take a break. You're about to say, right? Yeah. I think that's what she's missing. Also is some good me time and some, you know, things like that. All right. So keep a bitch updated. Hold up. Hold up. I know this shit getting good, but listen to just a couple seconds of a commercial. If you love me, you'll listen. September, 1979.

Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a bestselling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we're doing on the Fighting Words podcast. Listen to my new episode with the iconic Gabrielle Union. We clear the air about a recent controversy with actor Matthew Lawrence, who claims she reported him on set for refusing to run lines with her. This is like two husbands ago. Like, what are we even talking about?
And I ask her what it's like raising a trans daughter during Trump's second term. When you offer up the trans community as a sacrificial lamb, if you open the door to say, well, take these people, now the door is open and they coming for everybody. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, here we go.
Jess, I love you, girl. I love you too, boo. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you do. So my situation isn't too bad, but I would like your opinion. So my mom lost her husband about four years ago and I want to get her back out there. I'm not trying to rush her grief or anything because I get it. I miss him as well, but he wouldn't want her to keep holding herself back like this.
For example, there's this guy at her job and really likes her. He really likes her. He always compliments her saying how beautiful she is and just flirting with her. You can tell he has a crush on her and she is just so standoffish to him. He is real consistent though. I'll give him that. That man goes hard for her and period because my mom is that girl. I know that's right. Big up your mama because my mama that girl too. I just want her to realize it again. Any tips that you could think of that I could give her? Aww. Aww.
Well, because your mom is that girl, you know what I mean? Just because she's that girl does not mean that she's ready to jump back out there. I know four years may be, you know, a long enough time for you. But just think about it. Look at Lauren London.
How long ago have Nipsey passed? You know what I'm saying? And we haven't seen her pop out. And then she also said that she's not going to. She doesn't want to date. But it's part of her religion in a sense. Oh, okay. Because I know Nipsey was the love of her fucking life. So who else can even amount up to that guy that he was in her life? To her and for her kids. Yeah, for their kids.
like sleep wise or nothing like that. Yeah. And I, and I feel like she is 100% okay with that going through the rest of her life, not being with anyone, not devoting her heart to another person. You know, I know that it's crazy. When I think about stuff like that, that makes me like so, that makes me so sad. I know. Cause I can't, but I can't stand it though as in, that's why I'm saying that. Like that's trauma. Cause even with the listener, um,
Her mom might get anxiety like going on a date and make you feel guilty. Like it's like a whole other step. And then four years is not that long to, you know, it may not be that long to her mom. I know it's not even that long to me and I'm not even in that predicament. You know, she is not like this was a divorce that her husband passed away. Her husband died. You know what I mean? So it's like, damn, you know, holding on to memories. And then like, is she even going to be,
thinking about him on the date with the guy or she can't get him out of her mind yet. You know, are you, is your mom healed yet? You don't even know if she's healed from the passing of her husband and her husband, I'm sure was her best friend. It's like, this ain't only my husband, this is my best friend, this is my lifelong partner and his life was cut short. So, it's a lot. I remember when my grandfather passed and I felt like it was going to be like
a couple years and again they're older but even so I'm dripping on my grandfather so like my mom and my aunts were saying like oh like call my grandma my mom like oh mom we got a hot date tonight I was like that's not funny yeah I don't know like it's just like y'all trying to make light of a situation and you're definitely not over it you don't feel like it's funny or cute no like what are you talking about yeah like no ain't no damn hot date going on over here and meanwhile it's not fucking happy over here no
She like laughed and like, but I was like, no. But what if she was really feeling like, um, I mean, like what if inside she was feeling like you, like, uh, they, they making fun of it, but it's like, no, I'm, I'm really saying like, I don't, I'm not ready for that. Yeah.
I'm saying like more than 40 years. Yeah. No. Your grandmother still look young though. She's still out there. I mean, she's not out there, but like she still look like she could be. This probably was now like 15, so years ago. My grandma's in her 90s now. Okay. But,
She was like probably 70. Did she ever like date again? No. Yeah. And she was probably content with that. Like, I'm okay with that. You know, I, my husband is, is gone, you know, God rest his soul. But that was my partner. Dad was my guy. I don't feel like somebody else could measure up to that. So I'm not even gonna waste nobody's time, you know? Um,
But I do feel like she should let her mom kind of heal a lot more. I think her mom is going to let her know. I don't know. That's why I say she got the... Now, this story wasn't exactly boneless. I ain't going to say it's boneless, but you did leave some skin off the meat. All right? I feel like, you know, do you still catch your mom crying? Is your mom still like...
in her mood sometimes where she just misses her. And I don't, I don't want to call this man, your dad, cause you didn't say my dad, you said her husband, you know, in which you said you missed him too. So I'm guessing that you guys had, um, and okay, enough relationship. Um, yeah, like I said, although your mom is, is that girl beautiful, probably is as beautiful as the day is long, a bubbly personality, a beautiful woman inside and out. Um,
I would if she's just not ready, you have to consider her feelings as well. You know what I mean? What her and her husband shared definitely is not something that she can just get over in four years. Again, like I said, four years may be a long time to you, but not not to a wife who just lost a husband. I don't even know how long were they how long were they married? And when your mom's ex-husband, I'm sorry, when your mom died.
husband was alive, when your mom's husband was alive, did you feel like she was the happiest that you've ever seen her? You know what I mean? Because maybe she was. You know what I mean? If she wasn't, I get it, but maybe she was. So you don't want to...
You know, push mommy into doing something like that, that something that she will possibly regret or resent. You know, you don't want your mom. You don't want to create no beef between you and your mom either. You know, because right now you got to be strong for her because this is your girl. You know what I mean? You got to be strong for her. So just want to say I love you. Tell your mom I love her. Go give her a wrap your arms around her. Okay.
still also continue to uplift her though, without pushing her into, you know, let the guy keep, he ain't going no damn way. She worked with him. Shit. Let him keep on, you know, making, you know, she might not want to date a nigga that she worked with. You know what I'm saying? She may not. And she, and just cause he liked her domain is she going to like him. So when she is finally ready, let her choose who she wants or, you know, then you can set her up on some dates or whatever like that. But, um,
I think there's nothing wrong with the guy having a crush on her. I also feel like there's nothing wrong with you wanting your mom to get back out of there, to get back out there and stuff, but continue to uplift her because she may not be ready, you know? So there ain't nothing wrong with that. And just like that, we've come to the end of yet another carefully reckless episode with your girl, Just Hilarious. And my boo Taylor is here, my baby mama. Say bye, Taylor. Bye. She's catching on, y'all, slowly but surely, but she's catching on. Catch us next week right here. Peace. Peace.
