I seen somebody in the chat that said men don’t get depressed. Oh, yes, we do. Oh, yes, we do. Listen, I don’t know who told you that. I don’t know who is filling you in with all of this nonsense, but listen, listen, ladies and everybody else in the chat that’s not familiar. Let me tell you something. Men have emotions just like every other creature on a of this earth, including women.

As a matter of fact, I will tell you that men get more emotional sometimes than women. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The thing that I tell men is that you shouldn’t lean into your emotions in order to make an informed decision. We hurt, we weep, we mourn. We have problems and troubles and things that we deal with on a regular basis. Shout out to my dog ray.

We absolutely get depressed. Now, the thing that we have to learn, and this is where the masculinity kicks in, is that we have to learn how to channel that more effectively so we can get the better results. Right? Because we can’t afford to make emotional decisions. And that’s the difference. See, I want you all to really understand the difference between somebody that’s passionate and somebody that’s emotional. An emotional man often makes a decision based off of how he feels, and that’s not the best thing for you.

We can’t afford that. It’s too many people that’s dependent on us. It’s too many people that work for us. We got to keep society running. When a storm hits, a guy may get tired and he may want to go to sleep, and he’s just absolutely weeping and all of this other stuff, but he got to make sure that he keep this power going, or we have a lot of people that got to endure through.

We got to endure through. And so for all of the women that’s out here thinking that you could just throw every single thing that you want to on a man that you leaning next to, or let me go one step further, a lot of y’all will say, well, I want you to share everything with me. Dump everything on me. I want to be your everything. Tell me everything.

You don’t want that. You don’t want that. You really don’t want these dark thoughts. Trust me. Trust me. Before I read these super chats and before I get into this show, because we got a show for you today. It’s going to be a full one. It’s a packed show. You don’t want these thoughts? Do you really want the thoughts of the man that’s insecure, that don’t know whether or not he going to survive tomorrow, because the only thing that he’s thinking about is surviving right now that he can’t think about tomorrow, when the only thing he can think about is what it is that he has to do right now in order to make sure that he feeds you today.

It’s so many women on the Internet that is insecure about their position in life when in reality they shouldn’t be. And so he has to be everything for you and for himself. And you think that you can handle what he got going on. You can’t, baby. You can’t. You’re not built for this. You’re not built for this. You really ain’t built for this. A lot of y’all think that you all ready to be wives.

You’re not ready to be a wife because a wife also has to hold up and be there for the guy, not just be there when it’s convenient for her or when she’s deciding to level up. I’ve seen people take vows. I was at a wedding and I’ve seen people take vows, for better or for better. They just completely remix the vows. And I tell people even all the time on Wednesdays and stuff.

I said, what? Show duress? Language. Because when everything get bad, a lot of women decide that they want to dip out, because the only thing that they can think of and the only narrative that’s being communicated on social media is a man is supposed to be a provider. Until when? Until what? What if 2008 happened like it happened to me? You going to hold him down? You going to be there for him? What if everything starts to go wrong? Because I’m going to get back up and I’m going to get back on my grind.

But do you know what it feels like for a man that is largely groomed to be one of the greatest men on the face of this earth? And I’m talking about myself in this instance, for him to ultimately have to succumb to the idea that he got to move back into his parents basement and you got to go with him. You willing to endure through that? You willing to move back into the mama’s basement? You don’t know what that do to him.

It breaks you. It break your soul, it break your spirit. It humbles you more than anything in the face of this earth. When you look at your pregnant wife or you look at your small daughter, and then you look outside of the door and they repossessing your car, it’s a whole nother ballgame. You built for that, because that’s what marriage is. See, marriage is not just about the good times.

It’s also about the bad times. We talk about money, and we talk about bag chasing. But let me tell you something. Are you built for the things that men really go through? I don’t think you built for it. Don’t tell me that men can’t get emotional. Don’t tell me that we can’t get depressed. We absolutely get depressed. Sometimes we have moments of depression, and then we figure out how to get through that, and then we move on to the next thing.

Depression ain’t always even tied to finances. Depression can be tied to a lot of things. My father died when my father passed away, and I know through so many guys go through this in so many different ways. When my father passed away, I didn’t have the opportunity for the first year and a half to mourn. It didn’t hit me until I was sitting in the parking lot when I was about to go into the gym a year and a half later.

And then I’m like, damn, my father ain’t even here no more. My best friend, I used to talk to this guy three and 4 hours a day. I was building this restaurant for him, and the only reason I finished it was for him. I didn’t have the opportunity to mourn. You know why? Because everybody else was dependent on me. I had to make sure I buried him. I had to pay for all of the funeral arrangements.

I had to make sure that my mom was taken care of. I had businesses that was thriving and things that we was going through and tumultuous situations that was happening in corporate America. And guess what? Nobody cared. Nobody cared. When I went to work, after I got off a bereavement, when I went to work, and after I got off a bereavement, after them few days that I got off a bereavement, guess what? They still wanted their stuff.

We still had deadlines to hit. We still had developers to supply. We still had a business to build. We still had a bank to run, and we still had things that we wanted to make sure that we took care of. And it was like, oh, man, sorry for your loss. And then 15 minutes later, they was like, you coming to this meeting or no? See, a lot of y’all women, you all have the ability to be able to grieve.

You have the space to take your time and get yourself together to go through your postpartum or whatever it is that you’re suffering through. Let me tell you something, man. Y’all couldn’t believe. And I have not told some of these stories, and I probably won’t ever tell any of these stories. But let me tell you something you would not believe. Some of the things that we’ve had to endure through, that I’ve personally had to endure through.

Maybe one day I’ll tell you a story, but I’m going to just tell you something. When I say, for example, that Rita’s feet will never touch the ground regardless of what ever happened, hypothetically, whatever happened, obviously nothing would ever happen. But when I say that her feet would never touch the ground, you have no clue. No clue. The type of stuff that we’ve had to deal with, with family and friends, people turning a back on us and wishing on your downfall and setting you up.

I guess the point that I’m making is that we got to be everything to everybody. We got to be everything to everybody. We got to be a provider. We got to be a protector. We got to keep our head on a swivel. We can’t sit with our back to the door. We got to be everything to everybody. It’s crazy. It’s absolutely crazy. If I told you all some of the stuff and I gave you all some of the details of what guys go through and the fact that nobody cares, at the end of the day, you still got to show up and you still got to take care of business, and you still got to be on top of things, and that’s the end of the story.

Get out of your feelings now. It wasn’t a citizen’s type of arrest. It was something else. It was a set up. It was a set up. And I had to make a decision right then and there. And it was a difficult decision because I had her. She was sitting right there in the passenger seat, and I had to make a decision at that particular time. And it turned out to be a high speed chase.

And then it was something else. So I’ve lived a wild, wild life. But guys go through stuff all the time. And a lot of women think that they built to be men, but you’re not really built to be men. You’re not ready for this. .
