- What happened with me and you
could have happened to anybody.
- For you to say that it was, like, no personal energy...
- I don't know you, bro. I don't really care.
- I think that's cap, bro. I think that's cap.
- I've talked shit about you, bro.
Rob has been right there next to me.
So when it came to the Bri shit,
bro, what the fuck?
Like, you defended a nigga
that we done, like, kind of talked shit about.
You had to get checked, bro.
- Jaylenn! Jaylenn, what the fuck?
[indistinct yelling]
♪ ♪
- Hey, Rob!
- Why'd y'all call me over?
It feels like y'all getting to it.
- He was saying that prior to all this,
y'all both felt some type of way about me or, like,
talked shit behind my back or whatever.
- Why is Jay bringing me
into this situation with him and P'Jae?
I'm on a high right now from the comedy show,
so I'm not expecting to be dragged into some more drama.
I don't know, it's kind of fucked up at this point.
- For me, P'Jae, I ain't gonna lie,
I feel like, yeah, there might have been some times
where because I didn't know you, I was saying
some things that you might not have been favorable about.
I didn't know you.
Now I've--getting to know you,
those things may not be the same thing.
You know? - I hear you, bro, but look.
Do you feel like y'all knew me enough
to even speak on me like that?
Like, I wasn't even speaking on y'all behind y'all back.
- Nobody's speaking about you personally, though, bro.
That's the thing. Like, I think you're trying to--
- So what would you call it? - It's old shit, bro.
With the whole Becky and Myami shit,
I'm just honestly doing what a real nigga does
and clearing the air now, bro.
You think niggas not talking about you, bro,
because they haven't said it to your face, nigga.
- I'm sure-- - I'm telling you, bro.
It goes back to him breaking up with Becky on the boat
or him always, like, looking like he, like,
is in a--he's flustered in an argument with these women.
You doing some lame shit.
You feel me? If it walk like a duck,
quack like a duck, it's a duck.
Like, you being lame, it's lame, you lame.
- Hold that, you feel me?
Niggas talking behind my back or whatever,
I'm not really with that.
I don't get down like that, you know what I'm saying?
So I'ma let y'all have this right here, bro.
I'll get at you another time, but right now,
I'm just not feeling it, bro.
- I get that.
- So I'll catch y'all later, brother.
- I get that. I get that. - A'ight? A'ight.
- Oh, that nigga is lame.

- So you back at it, huh?
- Mm-hmm. - Just right back to it?
You're not gonna take a chill pill?
- No. After New York, like, less chill.
- While you was out there, you know,
we was at the comedy show for Rob.
- And how did that go? I didn't get no calls.
- Like, he's real professional, bro.
He had me rolling. - Mm-hmm.
- So I'm just glad, you know what I mean, he didn't bomb.
Yeah, and then me and P'Jae had a face-to-face.
I don't think that we came to, like, a agreement.
You know what I mean? - Yeah, but that's a trend.
- Yes. I was low-key arguing back with him.
Like, bro, it was nothing personal.
Kind of just was, like, a respect thing.
And out of respect, I told P'Jae, like, "Yeah, bro,
"like, me and Rob have talked shit about you, bro,
"on a surface level, bro,
honestly 'cause we just don't know you like that."
So I was, like, looking in--
- Did you ever apologize to P'Jae?
- Uh...
I mean, I don't think I officially apologized to him.
I feel like people be, like, so, like--
I don't know what, you know what I mean, what--
how he feel.
Especially with the way he stormed off.
- I know I wasn't the only one telling Jaylenn
that he needed to apologize to P'Jae,
but not only did he skip the apology.
He said some shit to make P'Jae storm off.
And I mean, this is exactly why I need to step in,
so shit like this doesn't happen.
So I think his reaction was valid.
- Yeah. - So you gotta kind of
see where he's coming from too.
Like, men are sensitive beings,
and even though you're over it doesn't mean that he is.
At a certain point, you gotta grow up too.
- Yeah.
Did you miss me while you was gone?
- Yeah.
- I missed you. - I missed you.
- I couldn't rub your booty for, like, four or five days.
- I know.
I missed you. - I missed you more.
Mm. - Mm.
- So we gonna get to--
we gonna get back to business.
You know what I want? - What do you want?
- A "wah-wah." - Oh, nah-nah.
[laughter]
- So we're still on that? - Mm-hmm.
- What is the main reason we're not?
- It's--at the end of the day, it's my body.
Me and Jaylenn, we're not on the same page.
Like, he definitely wants children.
I've definitely expressed to him
that I at least want to be engaged.
There's a lot of stuff that we need to work on individually,
from communication, dealing with past traumas.
At this point, therapy should be a priority, period.
So we need to work through that
before we even think about having children.
When I'm in the right headspace,
when you're in the right headspace,
we can just think about the kid.
- I'm personally okay with having children before marriage
because that's the environment that I was raised in.
When you get marriage involved, it's like you're just
basically saying, "We're taking this relationship
to, like, a business standpoint."
A kid doesn't involve that.
Everything is not gonna fit like a perfect puzzle in life.
And if I keep waiting on that, I will never have a kid.
- After therapy, we can just, you know,
work on some next steps.

Robb with two Bs, the Bs stand for "best bitch,"
'cause he's been my best bitch for a minute now.
I mean, one thing about him is, he does not play about me.
The last time he's heard about this group
is when they had me fucked up.
So I may have forgiven them,
but I can't say the same for him.
- What you been up to?
- So I just came back from New York.
I've been trying to, you know, get in everybody's
good graces, but I feel like I was tried.
And you know me, like, I normally just go ahead
and just say what the fuck is on my mind.
But I'm like, I have to coexist with them
just because I fuck with Tylynn so much.
Like, Becky, surprisingly, she seems like a sweet girl.
We're trying to start a new friendship.
And same for Bri, 'cause they're, like,
literally besties, like--
- From what I know about them,
shit, Becky's always up Bri's ass.
- I feel like Becky bites her tongue a lot
when it comes to her friends.
- She's a punk.
She's a punk. - [laughs]
- Anytime you choose to talk about
somebody behind their back, aka you...
- [laughs]
- And when you approached her, what did she say?
"Oh, no, I didn't do that. I didn't say that."
Girl, shut the fuck up. - [laughs]
- Why are you hanging out with motherfuckers
that don't even like you?
- Well, it's just like, I'm tired of this fucking
unnecessary beef over a nigga that I don't want.
- Over a nigga that didn't want her.
Ooh, you picked the right environment,
because let me tell you something, if I met them
on a different day, it'd be a lot different.
- You know how to shut me the fuck up.
This is why we are so close.
- I still don't know why you're so forgiving,
but, you know, it is what it is.
I will definitely-- - Hey, girl!
- Hi. - Hi, boo.
- Hello.
This is Robb. - How you doing?
- Hi.
- Mwah. You look so cute. Hi. - Thank you.
- Can I move this bag?
- Don't touch my bag. Hi.
You can move it. - Thank you.
- So this is my main bitch, Robb.
- Hey, Robb. - What's up?
Nice to meet you guys. - Nice to meet you too.
- But it's Robb with two Bs, all right?
So don't fuck that up. - Rrrrrobb.
- Yeah. - Let's not fuck that up.
- Got you.
- What y'all been talking about?
- Shit. You guys.
[laughter]
Here we go.
- What's the tea?
I thought we was past that.
- We are, but I had to catch him up a little bit.
- [laughs] - Right. What's the tea?
- Oh, no, she didn't tell me nothing,
but how the fuck did this become a thing?
- We're just getting to know each other.
- Mm-hmm, but you didn't give her a chance at first, so...
- Ooh. You weren't there, so I don't think you can,
you know, speak on it, huh?
- My friend told me. My friend told me.
- Robb plays devil's advocate for me
because it's like, I'm so fucking forgiving.
So he's like, "Uh-uh, bitch, hold on. Why?"
- She's too forgiving. - "How? When?"
He asks questions. - And you didn't know her.
- Mm-hmm. We've already had that conversation.
I feel like Myami and I just are past
everything that happened in Palm Springs.
- Wait, can I ask you a question?
But, like, what made you get past it, though?
Is it the fact that you're not talking
to old boy no more or...
- I mean...
First of all, who is this nigga?
Why is he coming for me?
And does he seriously think I owe him an explanation?
Boy, bye.
- I feel like it had the least amount
to do with P'Jae.
- Don't come to her defense
just 'cause she's up your ass all the time.
- Robert, no. - Robb. Robb.
- No, because you're acting like--
I can't call you Robb-- 'cause you're acting very
just malicious right now for no reason, sir.
We came to this brunch to get to know you.
Just chill the fuck out a little.
- So you just--generally just did not like her?
- That's not technically--
- Well, I didn't really, to be honest.
- Okay, I like-- - No, I didn't really like you.
- There we go. I like the honesty.
There we go. - Well, fuck you too, Bri.
- No. - Real, bitch.
That's usually how the best friendships start,
to be honest.
Like, I think when you don't like someone
initially, like, each person has to work
a little harder for the relationship, and, like,
sometimes that ends up being your bitch.
- Briana, you're optimistic like Myami,
so that makes sense.
- He thinks that's my biggest gift and my biggest flaw.
- She most definitely is.
She's hanging out with you guys.
But I'm open-minded too. I'm open minded too.
- You see why he's my friend, right.
- We're baddies, okay?
- I'm just a sweet bitch at heart,
and I feel like no one understands this.
- You have a sweet face, so that's why I was confused.
- We've established what it was.
Can we just blame this shit all on P'Jae?
Like, 90% of it...
- Yeah, cheers to that. - Was on his fault.
And let's just move the fuck on.
- Cheers to, you know... - You know what it is now.
- Meeting you guys.
- Fuck P'Jae. I'm just kidding.
- Not cheersing to that.
- Finally, someone has said it besides me.
P'Jae's fuckboy antics is the reason why me
and Rebecca are even beefin' to begin with.
Cheers to never beefin' over a nigga again.
This is growth right here.
- No, cheers to you, Robb. Cheers to meeting you.
- Yes, cheers to meeting you. - Here we go.
- Robb does not play about his friend, okay?
- I'm glad that I'm on this side,
because I feel like I'm that for Rebecca too.
- There we go, okay. So we balancing out the table?
- Exactly. - Okay.
- But speaking of men... [chuckles]
I've been having a guy in my DMs.
The guy who DM'ed me, his name is A.Q.
He literally wants to go on a date,
but I'm just like, I do not want to go alone.
Do you want to come with me and be my little wingman?
- Little double date?
- Yes. - Okay.
- That's cute. That's real cute.
- Okay, so it's A.Q. and who else?
- That's the mystery. It's like a big question mark.
But A.Q. has such a, like, big friend group,
from, like, what I see on social media,
so it could be a baller, shot caller.
- Well, if I'm not interested in these men,
I'm not gonna show it.
- I don't expect nothing less from you,
but I know you're gonna be with me.
It's gonna be a good time. - Okay.
I'm coming just...
- For the drinks and me? - For the drinks,
uh-huh, and for you.
- Don't fuck it up.
- You need to not fuck this date up.
- Ooh.
- You been real back and forth for me.

- What's going on with you, man?

It's been a minute, y'all. - It has been.
- We haven't been together, what, since, like,
Jada graduated. - Yeah, graduation.
Love to see all y'all together.
- Is it crazy that we're so close and we're--
like, have different, like, mothers?
- Yes. - All four of us.
- Well, that was something mandatory, though,
'cause you guys stayed, you know, with me a lot
till Fi and Jasharae moved to Texas, but, you know...
- I'll give you really some kudos to that,
because, like, you were there the whole time, like, I was--
- I tried to be. I tried to be. I tried my best.
- I have such a special relationship and bond
with my brothers and sister.
It really just highlights my dad
and what he's installed in us.
He showed me how to carry himself
as the leader or the alpha of a family.
- Y'all are, like, real close in age.
- And you give me the hardest time.
- You're the little pup.
- Like, why I didn't get another little pup, too, then?
- No. - Well, I was done.
I was really done before you got here.
- [laughs]
- Hey, I'm gonna be honest with you,
you guys' parents tricked me.
[laughter] I got--I got tricked.
- My mom-- - Your mom tricked me for sure.
- Yeah, I kind of... - How did--what did you--
- Jasharae was-- - Wait, so, Pops,
were you married?
- I do believe I married your mom.
I think I did.
I think I was trapped into that too.
[laughter]
- That's one thing I can't do.
I can't get peer pressured into marriage.
It just gotta be natural.
- So when do you think about doing that?
- Yeah, I know Ty is the person that I want to marry,
but it's just about the timing, you know what I mean?
- What about kids? - I want to have kids--
- What you gonna do first? - Can you please?
- You know, that's the thing with Ty.
Like, that's kind of the issue right now.
Like, I want to have kids first.
- Why do you feel like that, though?
- Honestly, it's just, like... first--first--
- Does it have anything to do with your dad?
- It have a lot to do with you, you know what I mean?
I really want-- - Like, it has something
to do with me 'cause that's what you saw
with me or that's because...
- I mean, well, first is your health.
Since Pop's been sick, sometimes we may get that call,
like, he's in surgery or he just had some type of episode.
That makes me even more persistent in telling her,
like, "I'm trying to have a kid, bro, like"--
- Exactly. - Right.
- That's kind of, like, unfair to her,
but it's still what I want.
- It's what you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I want my kids to be around you.
I want to experience that. Like, I'd like that.
- I would love to experience that.
- I know, traditionally, marriage comes before kids,
but my dad has been on dialysis
and had kidney failure,
you know what I mean, since I can remember.
It's gonna be a time where my dad's not always there.
I want my kids to know their grandfather.
It's bigger than me. It's bigger than me.
- The food is ready. Y'all ready to eat?
- Yes. - Hey, hold on, Pop.
Let me chop it up with you for a sec.
- Can you help me with this chicken over here, bro?
- Yeah, so I wanted to chop it up with you more--
really on more the topic of the kids thing,
'cause I am being serious about that.
She doesn't want to entertain the whole
idea of it, you know what I mean?
So I was just like, well, now it's like,
I'm low-key getting, like--
- Impatient?
- I mean, now Ty is trying to have me
go to therapy with her.
I don't want to be pulling teeth.
Like, you know what I mean? It's like, if--
- Your situation is kind of hard, because, like,
you know the women run the show when it comes to that.
You have to have a deadline, though.
- What's the dead-- what you mean?
- Yeah, if you want to start a family now,
she may say, "I want it ten years from now
or five years." - That's a deal breaker.
It's a deal breaker for me.
- I don't know what you can say or what you can do.
You have to have a certain time and whatever, or...
you gotta move--
I hate to say it, you gotta move forward.

- How you been, man? - I been cool, man.
I been on this, like, high,
I ain't gonna lie, since the comedy show.
You set up the whole play.
It exceeded my expectations.
When you had some people come there,
that was a super cool look.
You could have just came and laughed or not laughed,
but you brought people, so that was super cool.
So I just wanted to, you know, show love and be like,
yeah, man, I appreciate it.
- Me being a good homey, like, anything that I could do
to be helpful in any situation like that,
glad to do it, bro, and I'd do it again.

- Right? You good, man?
- Nah, I'm just here. - What's going on here?
- After the show, some energy was off.
I can kind of sense it now.
I just want to get right to it.
Jaylenn said we were talking shit about you before.
I didn't know you before. - The way I feel right now,
any of us would feel that way, you feel me?
Like, somebody I'm rocking with, like, oh, cool,
we get into business together,
and you find out that person was, like,
talking shit about you... - Mm-hmm.
- It just don't sit right with me, it's just weird.
Like, none of it makes sense to me, so...
shit, maybe you could make it make sense to me, like.
- There has been times before,
like, yeah, okay, I didn't know you.
I've gotten to know you now.
You can see I'll go to bat for you, like, literally
against my girlfriend's friend, essentially, you know, for you.
I'm sorry, bro.
What was said before, like I said, I didn't know you.
- From my perspective,
Jaylenn owed P'Jae an apology in that situation.
- I'm expecting an apology 'cause from the jump,
like, I wasn't even 100% cool with him being there
without getting an apology prior to that.
I'm big on trust.
I appreciate you at least, you know, acknowledging, like,
"Yo, yeah, I did do this.
Should I have done it? Probably not."
But I mean, you--
just going forward, I want you to know we solid, bro.
We good, I appreciate you
even being man enough to, like, own up to it
and just have this conversation.
But as far as me and Jaylenn, bro,
I don't think me and him are ever probably
gon' be on the same page and see eye to eye.
It's no bad energy, it's just no energy, you feel me?
It's just like, do your thing, I'ma do my thing,
and I'ma keep elevating.
- I probably shouldn't have tried to get you
to talk to Jaylenn that night.
- Time and a place, bro.
- Like, I had a-- I had my experience
where I really felt like I shared things,
and it really kind of didn't go the way that I...
- Yeah. - Would have wanted.
- It's crazy that you say that, bro,
because I feel the same way
after all the shit that happened last year
after the podcast.
Literally seems like whenever somebody that goes against...
- Yeah, it's like a pendulum down there.
- What the hierarchy of what Ty is saying, you know,
then it's kind of just like, oh, you're my enemy.
- It's the pendulum, it's the, if I agree
with what you say, then that mean
I'm disagreeing with what somebody else says.
- I just want to talk about how I was called
a sociopath on national TV.
- Oh, I can't trust Jerrold.
He's, like, actually a sociopath.
- But, like, that was never addressed.
You know, like, in the altercation
at Buttrd by Bri,
the way that she blew up in that situation,
I was like, you know, like, did it--
it just didn't seem like he deserved that.
And then there was no, like, formal apology issued,
or was there?
- From Tylynn, I would say yeah.
She apologized, for sure. - She did?
- Really? - Absolutely.
- It's just interesting, man, to hear, you know,
Rob got an apology.
Cheryl got an apology at the group chat.
Apologies are being shelled out.
I'm telling you, bro, like-- - Y'all was tight.
- I've known Ty since, like, high school,
and for me to sit here and, like, hear all of this,
the nature of friendship just can't be the same.
- That is tough. Shit, I don't know.
You don't think you'll ever be able to go back that way?
- It's not like I hate her. Like, I love her.
At some point in time, somebody need to tell her that,
you know, like, she can't keep
coming at people the way that she coming at them.
- Best of luck, brother.
[chuckles] Best of luck, brother.
- I know many have tried.
I know many have tried.
I guess she trying to change, but, like,
until I see that change,
I feel like somebody need to tell her.
- Rob tried to tell her.
- Been it.

He's showing me the attention that I need at the moment.
So that's an A-plus for A.Q.

Oh, I like this. Thank you for this.
I want you to know for sure
this is the last semester of Mr. Lee right here.
- Ah, so proud of you.
- So next one, front and center.

Rob wants to chase his dreams,
and I want to support him in that.
I hope that this date can show him that I am
really rooting him on
and I'm ready to keep building with him.
- I'm not gonna lie, hearing you say you went to New York
and you did your thing, that was awesome for me too.
Like, we all out here trying to chase our dreams.
It's not just me.
I just want to let you know
I want to support you too.
I want to be there for you on this journey.
And we kind of--we kind of growing together.

What do we want to do next?

- Oh, okay.
- I mean, the girls, we pretty much, you know,

so we could do bae-cations, singles, plus-ones,
you know, potential boo, whatever.
- So we are--we're good with the plus-ones?
'Cause I know plus-ones is--
[laughs] - Ah!
- Shit get iffy. Shit get iffy, so just--
- Funny. - We gotta put that
in writing or something.
- Shut up, shut up.
- But, like, I hear you on the girls.
Y'all are good, but I don't necessarily know
if the guys are really kind of there yet.
P'Jae and Jay, they're not really cool.
They're not really-- - They never been cool.
It ain't just P'Jae and Jaylenn going on the trip, bae.
- I mean, I know.
I'm telling them, "Yeah, me and Tylynn talked
and were able to apologize to each other,"
things like that.
And Jerrold is basically like, "Wait, what?"
He feels like there's a hierarchy
where it's basically, like, Tylynn, then you and Jaylenn,
and then it's like, people fall in their line.
- I think it's a conversation worth having.

- Come in. - Hi.
- What's up, TB? How are you?
- Good, good to see you. - Hey.
- What's good, my man? both: Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.
- Awesome.
Welcome to therapy.
- Hey, man, thanks for having me.
- His first time. - Of course, of course.
So first question.
What brought us into couples therapy?
- I feel like recently,
we've been having differences in regards to family building.
We just want to make sure that we're actually aligned
and that we have the same goals.
And what are some steps to communicate that
and work through that?
- Communication is something that we want to work on.
I want you to describe each other's communication style.
- Jaylenn is reactive.
Like, when he's upset, he doesn't really care
too much about the other person's feeling
on the other end.
- Mm-hmm.
- Her communication style, to me,
I feel like it's very, like, abrupt.
My mind will switch from what we're actually--
the issue is to time-out.
Like, you don't--you know we have to act like that.
- Okay, are you guys okay if we revisit the past a little bit?
- Sure. - Mm-hmm.
- How long have we been together?
- Almost four years.
- What was the beginning of the relationship like,
and how long did our honeymoon phase last?
- The beginning was really, really fast.
- Okay.
- We only talked for, like, two months
until, like, we had a situation
and had to part ways.
- Okay.
- I had ended up getting pregnant,
and I told him what I was going to do.
- What was the thing that you were gonna do?
- I was gonna get an abortion.
- You already made that decision on your own.
- Yeah.
No one around me
has ever told me they had an abortion.
- Hmm. - So I was really, like,
the first one.
And I feel like my family has
this idealized version of me in their head,
so I just felt like I would be failing them
by telling them that I, like, got pregnant
by someone I just met.
- How did that affect you, Jay?
- So on one end, I was, like, relieved.
But then on the other end, I kind of wanted
to step up to the plate and just figure it out.
Like, I didn't communicate that.
I get distant.
So I couldn't just man up and tell her.
- When I made the abortion appointment,
everything was cool.
And then he kind of stopped talking to me.
- Okay. Where did that take you?
- I felt like I was spiraling.
I was just hitting him up so much,
and he just wasn't responding.
And then there was one time he sent me this note, like,
"You're applying too much pressure,"
and, like, that's, like, scarred in my memory.
- Mm.
- I don't know, like, I felt like I was going crazy
'cause it was just-- we were all good.
And then the week of the appointment,
it--like, complete 360.
- Okay, so then how did we go
from being supportive to then that behavior?
Was there any outside influences in our ear
that we were venting to?
- Yes. - Okay.
- What did they say?
- "Shit, is she even really pregnant?"
Or, "Is she just trying to get money for it
from you, from this abortion?"
It's, like, just a bunch of noise.
- Mm-hmm.
- I was more, like, you know what I mean,
fearful of just being, like, a bad boyfriend.
- Mm.
- I didn't need him to be my boyfriend.
Like, the thing is,
it's like, you didn't need to be my boyfriend
when you had sex with me.
You didn't need to be my boyfriend
for me to get pregnant.
Like, you don't need to be my boyfriend now
that I'm having an abortion, you just need to be there.
Now I'm scrambling to, like, have my friend
take me to the appointment
because you can't drive home that day.
- Mm.
- Okay, now I have to forget this person
and just, like, focus on Ty.
- Honestly, until she told me that--
when she went to the appointment
and that the lady said that it was twins,
that's when I kind of was like,
"Damn, like, you didn't have a second thought then?"
She was on birth control, and she took a Plan B the next day
and still had twins.
I don't know why, but selfishly,
my feelings was hurt.
Twins, I just felt like, damn, like, that's special.
We could have came back to the table
and talked about it.
- Well, if you were there,
maybe I would have thought twice.
But, like, fuck no, like,
I'm not having anything.
Like, I was alone.
