I got my sister, I got my son, my little baby father, my best friend, my brother. But y'all ain't ever hear this girl on here yet. But y'all do see her every Wednesday at 7 p.m. on Reckless Discussions. It's my favorite cousin, London. Say what's up. Hey, y'all.

Yeah, she's drunk. She's drunk. That's funny as shit. But no, I'm happy to have you on, girl. You finally came on the podcast. Now listen, London has been saying forever, oh, I want to do a podcast with you. I want to do a podcast with you. But when she actually gets around me and it's time to do it, she's like nowhere to be found. No, I have to be a mom because I have a five-year-old. I hate when a bitch have one kid and be like...

If you have a kid, you would understand, bitch. I have a kid. But she got money, so she got to babysit his nail. Excuse me, I didn't always have money. I was not getting money with ashes. That's what I'm saying, you have money now, so you have to babysit a nail. Because bitches like me be like, does anybody want to watch him? One for $20, two for $50.

No, let's start here. You don't let anyone watch your son. You don't because you just swear he's not... No one can care for him like you do. And rightfully so, no one can care for him like his mother. But bitch, you don't even trust people to watch him. Except for on Robin. Except for my mother, yes. She doesn't have a beautiful job with him. So since I got you here...

I want to name this episode, How Close is Too Close. I want to name it that because we're very close. We are very close. Been close since we was fucking little. But the thing about it is sometimes...

we can be overbearing to each other. Yeah, if I agree. Yes. And I say each other because not only are you overbearing to me sometimes as a protective big cousin who just knows it all, I'm overbearing to you. I agree. As what? What would you say? And tread lightly. Yeah. As the hood investigator. Hold up. Hold up, y'all. Why the first word had to be fucking hood, bitch? Because you from the hood side. All right, all right. Okay. I'm from the suburbs.

You're not. You're definitely from down the street. Yeah, I'm not. It just sounded right a little bit. Yeah, Monument Luzerne. That's where you from. So we work together and we're cousins and we nosy. So it's like, how do you mix the three without being like, I'm going to let her live her life and still be here for her. A lot of the times, like, I can be nosy. We already know. I'm talking about, she'll order a $30 pantsuit from Fashion Nova and I'll be like,

I gotta get that. And I'll be like, Google her name. Or, or, or, if I order a $300 pantsuit from the Digging for a Tailor, she'll be like, why you do that? You could have got the same one on this. You could have got the same one on Sheen.com. You could have got the same one. Like, so she's very, or if she order a $20 dildo. Excuse me. I mean, I'm sorry, but I had to be real with the people. You know, I see a lot of things that's going on.

And, you know, I'm like, shit, she getting up, why don't we hop on a tic? But basically, we're in a conversation now.

Yeah, that's when it's too close. I swear to God. And then look, the location. Bitch. The location. When I'm somewhere. I try not to check it. I promise you. I really, it would have to be like, you bluff me for five hours straight before I check it. And if somebody have a friend, I can't say. But me personally, it gotta be like, okay now bitch, where the fuck you at? Like the day, last 10 minutes, I was like,

uh-uh, I'm checking this shit now. And that shit said 11 minutes away. And I pulled up right there. It said 11. Damn. And then I was like, oh, 11 minutes, she gonna be here. But I wasn't nowhere. I had to get gas. But I don't be minding your business, I swear. Like, so recently, Jessica was like, I had texted her something and she was like, well, you should know you got my location. I said, no, like I didn't. And I was like, I hope that she really don't think I be checking her shit because I ain't no clown in the streets.

Oh. Yeah. It's not. No, like I mind my business until it's like, okay, this is the last fucking screw. I need to know where she is. I need to know where the fuck you at. Yeah. You know, more specifically towards meeting me. I don't really have patience like that. Yeah, she hates waiting for someone. Because if Jessica had to wait two hours for someone, she would leave. I would. I would. I have to try this on you as a prank one day. I'll be like, I'm going to be there at two. And it's like, I show up at four.

You could be like, I'm fucking gone. Bitch, I would never talk to you again. Jessica would hate it. But long story short, I don't invade your privacy unless it's detrimental. I got you. The last time I did it and I felt bad was when Aunt Robin showed up on you.

Oh, shit. Because that was like crossing cousin boundaries. Because I knew when you was there, Bon Robin didn't. But there was a point where it was like, am I betraying my cousin a little bit? I felt bad for that for a long time. I don't think I ever told you. Yeah. Because she pulled out, Pony. She pulled out. I'm talking about arms spread over doors, spread over ass in the back. Yeah. And I was like...

I hope she don't say it was me. And then she probably was like, because Lana told me. I don't know how you found out, but I definitely told the location. And it was only because she was so stressed out. But I felt bad. I was like, this is crazy. Like, me and my cousin are such. Because, like, before Faye was just like, I got your back. You know, you want to do something? Let me know. And.

Hey, yo, don't you ever slide your fucking pointy finger across the bottom of your nose like you just had some crack on it. Damn. But for real, like when I said I work with you, it's like, it's a difference between like what I completely can't say but what I can. There's certain people like your mother, your son, myself, like I have to know who you are. Yeah. So it is hard sometimes because we're like favorite cousins, even though we're so different. We're favorite cousins. But it is hard sometimes like being your worker bee.

On your executive, I guess. But also still respecting that we're cousins and we still want to be on the slide tip. Like, bitch, I'm trying to hang out till 5 a.m. Don't tell me where I'm at. Because you know, I done looked out for you a few times. Yeah. But sometimes I can't. Especially on the Art Robbins tip. You know how it is when you're a mother and you just want to fucking have fun. All you do is work and you just want to go have fun. But you're supposed to get your kid as soon as you get off or get your kid, in my case, as soon as you land. Yeah.

I be like, yo, I supposed to be back on Monday, all right? So if she hit you, be like, she back on Monday. Bitch, I flew in Sunday. I'm partying all Sunday. Fuck that. I be like, she back on Tuesday. Yeah, give me extra day, bitch. Let me get my life, you know what I'm saying? And put on CB Trust. Yeah, I know. So please don't let her listen to this, y'all. She listens every week. So she's going to hear. Basically, it's on you. No, it's on you. It is on me. So you...

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. Here's a little secret. Most smartphone deals aren't that exciting. To be honest, they're barely worth mentioning. But then there's AT&T and their best deals. Those are quite exciting.

Have you ever felt like I did anything that made you say, like, she's too in my business or she's too close or she's too comfortable? You know, how close is too close in my case for you? I don't think that you ever made me feel like that because you, it's your energy. You are very much like...

I got your bank if you need me, but I'm going to let you experience what you go through. You never was overburdened. I'm overburdened. Who you talking to? What's the address? Where you live? Case search. Case search. My cousin will case search any fucking body I'm around. That's not even only niggas, y'all. If you ever get to meet me and I ever want to befriend you, she's going to fucking case search you and tell me all about your fucking history and be like, bitch, this person used to do scams. Hide your fucking credit cards.

And like, honestly, I don't know if it's a Baltimore thing, but like, I would go to the motherfucking county, federal, Mexico, Antarctica, motherfucker. Per-per.

So yeah, basically I'm the one that does too much and you chill. And that's a problem. But Jessica does get to a point where she'll tell you what it is and you don't want to hear it. What you mean? I be like, so the thing was me, she be like, it was very much you. I'm like, okay, bitch, fuck. So what do you mean? Like if I was saying like, if I was talking to a guy and he cut me off and I'm like, Jess, I'm venting. And she'd be so emotionless. Like, has she been wanting to say it forever in her life?

She'd be like, Wanda, he probably don't like you. I'm like, all right, bitch. Fuck is you trying to say, bitch? I got

I got money, fuck. Oh my God. See, one thing about her though, she's very prideful. She does not like to hear that someone may not like her. Yes. And in life, that's going to happen, cousin. Like, motherfuckers ain't going to fuck with you. You ain't everybody's type. Just like everybody ain't your fucking type. And remember one day we had somebody tell us that maybe it's the type of guys that you're attracting. That was a word. And the people that you're attracting. Yeah.

Yeah, I know, but it's like- It's like you intimidate a lot of people because you're very headstrong. You're very, like, you're sure of yourself. That's intimidating to a lot of fucking people. When you know a lot, people, they honestly cower because they're like, they don't know shit. And it's just horrible sometimes. Nobody want to be around a know-it-all. You know what I mean? I feel you. And honestly, I hate being a know-it-all. I hate it.

No, you don't. I do. I really do. Like, sometimes I just want to be like... Dumb? Bust a wide open... No, that was a joke. You always like that anyway. Yeah, for sure. But like...

Like, I don't know. People misunderstand me. But you, like I said, you have a good way of like not being too much in my business. And I'm all the way in your business. But I know how to relax, right? Yeah. You know that. I just know you so well. I'm like, okay, now I'm crossing the line. If I didn't mention this seven, eight times to Shane trying to talk about it, I got to back up. But I'm going to still mention it because I'm annoying like that.

I'm going to be like, hurry it. And she can be like, this bitch is talking about that shit I don't even want to talk about. Because Jessica, y'all, she like keep her shit, everything on the hush hush tip. But I know her, so I respect it.

But I'm nosy. So I'm like, tell me. Oh, she's very much nosy. And I know a lot of y'all out there got nosy ass cousins. Yeah. I know y'all do. And they happen to be y'all favorite cousin and they're nosy. Because this is my favorite cousin, but she's very nosy. Very nosy. Like it's actually obsessive a little bit because it's like, am I tripping that I always went on her business? But maybe it's because I don't have enough business or something.

Well, do you feel like you don't have enough business? I don't. Well, listen, let's just say London moved into her own house, bought her own house as a goal for 30. She actually did it when she was 29, but she bought her first house. She moved away from Baltimore, right? So she moved away from all her family and all the little bit of friends that she has. Little bit of friends. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. She moved away.

She moved away from her family and friends to another state. Although it's not far, it's not right there either. It's not like down the street. It's not, you know, you can't throw a rock from Baltimore to her house. You know, she lives in Pennsylvania and it's a neighborly state. However...

She still feels alone up there because it's just her and my little cousin, which is her son. She has a five-year-old baby and a dog. Actually, she gave away the dog. I didn't give her away. I'm sorry. I still got her. I just can't take her. Oh, wow. So, yeah, she gave away the dog. And so it's just her and her son. They moved in a big-ass house in Pennsylvania where they have no friends and no one to call on. Okay. And every time they turn around, they are lonely. What's the point of this story? Are you serious?

No, I'm saying no. So she moved all the way up there and...

Her social life depleted. Very much. And it was the one week-ass COVID. It was during week-ass COVID. So her ass really... You know, she shut herself out from everybody. She isolated herself. And she literally was just like, I'm not going to catch this shit. If it's the last thing I do, I'm never going to. She was just... And she spent a whole two years building her and her son's immune system up in their house slash bunker because they never...

Exited the home. And yeah, that drove her fucking crazy. And it drove her son crazy because she was driving him crazy. They were driving each other crazy. And it's just like, you never know how bad you really do need a social life. Like, you know, the people that's always like, oh, I don't have friends. I don't have people. I don't want friends. I used to say that. I don't got friends because I don't want friends. Like, I don't want...

It's really not cool all the time because being lonely is really not it. Oh, you're straight up. You know what I mean? I feel like in the COVID situation, it was kind of it. Like, me being myself because I was finding myself. I just turned 30. I left a relationship. And it was, like, it was cute for a second. But then it was like, okay, now, just two years later, life opening back up. Time's becoming back lit. I don't want to be home, you know? And.

I just had to realize like that shit was wicked shit what I was doing but it was worth it in the moment. Yeah. But at the same time very much was watching my cousin live her best fucking life because she only quarantined like two times in life right? Okay so moving on because no but and then I did fucking catch COVID. I know I couldn't believe when you guys came. London never. And all I know now arriving was like she finally

Yeah, excuse me. So how about when I caught it? And mind you, London never caught the shit. My mother never caught the shit. Nobody but me caught the shit, I swear. Not Desi, not Prince. Nobody around us caught COVID. They never caught it? No, Desi never had COVID. Prince had the flu. And I didn't even call you. No, you didn't. Because I was making some bitch.

Yeah. She wasn't trying to be close then. No, it was only because I was like. And I was like, damn, it's over the phone. What if it goes to the phone? Like, say no. Honestly. Wow. Jessica's so private. Once it goes back to our conversation that. I was not private with COVID. You're the one that diagnosed me with COVID. Do you not remember? You drove all the way down from your house in Pennsylvania to COVID test me just to tell me.

And that was loyalty, right? Just to throw in my face, yeah, this because you ain't quarantined, Jess. But that was loyalty. I really sat in the car with Jessica while I took her test. And I took her test. She did. Like, Ms. Non-COVID, I took her test. I stayed with her and everything. Stayed in the car the whole time. Because we cousins. We do. Yeah. Sometimes we go home, we going to sit together. I ain't going to hold you. No, she did. She did. She stayed in the car with me the whole time she tested me. And that shit popped up in two seconds.

And look, we was about to go out to eat. We was about to meet up with our aunt and go out to eat. We was out to house and bitch, we was ready to go eat and not your mom. And I still went after her because I was like, well. She still went and listen, if it was a different guy's night, I'd have been like, shit, I'm just wearing my mask and still go. Shit, I was still going to fucking go. Yeah. But I had to think like responsibly. Responsibly? You were very much in the motherfucking contagious age. So I had to be where I had to be. I know. Remember, I thought I gave it to my boyfriend. I really thought I gave it to Danny. I didn't even want to tell you what you said.

I'm sorry, what'd you say? You was in a club, big music and everywhere. You couldn't even smell a hookah, taste a hookah, taste a food, taste a drink. Okay, and I thought it was allergies. I first don't try to ever fucking put me out there. Oh yeah, later, bitch. Now we got a commercial and if you click off this podcast, I swear I'ma beat your ass. Listen.

Okay, so back to how close is too close. Well, I actually have a question for you. So you know how sometimes you have your friends or cousins. Who do you think is more like basically secret confidential that you'll tell your secrets to like your friends or your cousin? Because sometimes cousins can be like...

The cousins been a little sneaky bitches, right? You be like, I tell her everything, but she tell her homegirls. But then you have cousins who you tell her everything too. So, I mean, do you feel comfortable talking to your cousins about things that you like? I don't really want motherfuckers to know about. Okay. Okay. So I think I know where this is going. Okay. So more recently, London and I have not been as close as we used to be. I used to tell her everything. There was a time that there was anything about me she didn't know.

And I do understand. I understand how it looks to you. But I feel like the older that we have gotten, let me finish the older, because she looks like she wants to say something, y'all. London is master of cutting people off. Just take a deep breath and listen. I feel like...

You've become so much more judgmental than you used to be, or maybe you've always been judgmental. It's just that I took the blinders off because you've always been the same way that you are now. It's like you got better, but then you got a little worse. And it could be your own shit that you're going through because people go through things that trigger other things.

You know what I'm saying? So, you know, but it's like little things. Like I used to always involve you in my personal life, my love life. Like you would know everything about the guy I'm dating. You would know everything about... Bitch, I'm talking about even down to sex positions. How many times I came on a nigga dick. It don't... Anything. Anything. I know that was TMI, but this is carefully recklessly, bitch. Whatever. But it's like...

Like I've noticed more recently, you'll look at me a certain way. You'll share a comment that's very judgmental. After I tell you what I feel or what I'm going through or about a situation, any situation, whatever, you always kind of seem like you find a negative in something. Even going back to my birthday, you missed my 30th birthday because you didn't like my boyfriend. You still don't like my boyfriend to this day. Well, look.

She does not dislike my boyfriend. She just doesn't know him, which are her words because I cut her mic off. She was going to definitely be over talking me. So I had to cut her damn mic off, shut her down because she needs to hear me. That's also her problem. London's problem is she does not like to listen. You don't like to listen. And when you are listening, you're only listening to respond, right?

It's like you really, I don't know. I don't know. So I kind of fell back from telling you things about my other friends, things about my relationship, things that I'm feeling, just things that I'm going through the motions on the day to day.

We do talk every day. You are my favorite cousin. Y'all, I want y'all to know she is. But sometimes, you know, I'm not going to say outgrow because outgrow is the wrong word for us for this situation. But when you kind of evolve and you kind of feel like the other person didn't, like us being close,

And I'm evolving where I used to love to be messy. I used to love to talk a certain way. I used to love to. And I feel like I'm kind of growing from that. And I feel like you're not. And it upsets you because I'm not the same way that I used to be, which is still good for me because I'm evolving now.

Change is not always bad. That's just what I want you to know and to keep in the back of your mind. You know, when you feel like I'm acting different, when you feel like, you know, it's really not that. It's just I feel like I can't talk to you about certain things until you kind of mature a little bit in those areas. I don't know. I don't know, Lana. I'm very sorry. I love you to death. You are my baby.

Not only are you my baby, you work for me. You're my executive assistant. You help me run my company. You help me run multiple businesses, you know, day one. But personally, and I know that you have felt the distance. I have created a distance between us, you know, and like I said, it started back on my birthday. Like you make a lot of selfish decisions. You can be very selfish. And I just want to tell you this, like, you know, I wouldn't sit there and tell you this on Reckless with, you know, us four, but carefully Reckless with us two.

I'm letting you know, yeah, you can be very, very selfish and judgmental. And I'm glad that we're actually here having this talk and I can tell you this shit because you need to hear it. And right now you're looking like you want to shed a tear and I'm not about to do that on the episode. Let me comfort my cousin, y'all. We've come to the end of yet another Carefully Reckless episode.

episode with your girl, Jess Hilarious. You want to say bye, Len? Look, I ain't even going to make her say bye. She's over there tear shedding and she probably going to fight me, but sometimes the fucking truth hurts. And just like that, tune in every week, next week, hump day. Peace.

I'm not going to stop.
