Nothing to say, yet

The Unemployment Line podcast hosts discuss the inconsistency of texting good morning to women and how it can create misunderstandings in relationships. They also touch on the topic of first dates and debate whether extravagant or domestic locations require different expectations in terms of physical intimacy. You are now tuned into the most ignorant podcast in America. This is the Unemployment Line. I am the D.O.K. and I'm sitting here with my main man, Larry P. You got all of it coming back, didn't you? Oh yeah, we are back. In full attack, baby. I ain't done this in a long time. It's been about two years since I did this, to be clear. I don't remember the last time we even did a show, but you know, shout out to y'all who came back. We still here. You know, a lot has happened since the last time we did a show, and we're not going to talk about none of that. Well, what I will tell y'all is, stop, man, stop telling women, like stop texting women, good morning, beautiful, good morning, gorgeous. Are we still doing that in 2023? I mean, I guess. But the only reason why I'm telling people to stop doing it is because it's starting to, man, inconsistent. It's hard to tell a woman good morning every morning. Like some women, you wake up and you like, you don't know where your phone is, or you don't feel like texting, and you got to start where you want to finish. You can't start, like, you can't open up a relationship with good morning every morning, and then, like, three months in, like now you only texting good morning on Thursdays and Sundays. Because then what she's going to be wondering is where my good morning texts go. Facts. Or who else you texting good morning? Yeah, you're like, you used to tell me good morning, beautiful. You don't say it anymore because you done did what you had to do to secure the bag, and now you done got the bag, and now you done fell back a little bit now, but you don't have to worry about that if you just don't do it. You know, I was trying to feel like you don't feel the need to put in any effort into this anymore. Like, is it, like, now that we're together, you don't feel like you have to do anything anymore? Because, man, let me tell you something. After y'all done hit that thing for about three months, it just ain't the same. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with it. There's not good morning where the answer is. I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying everything that a man has done to get it to that point, to get it, three months after doing it, they ain't, like, they driving there no more. You know how it is when you first want to get a job? Mm-hmm. Okay, I like this analogy. Let's go. And you going to get that job, and you start that job. Mm-hmm. Like, you come to the interview, man. You, like, star. What is the situation, task? What's the A? I don't know you. I want the master's degree. Anyway, you go in there. You ready for the interview, man. You Googling. You asking people, like, you know what I'm saying, what type of questions they going to ask me. You get the job. After you get the job, man, you like, man, I'm about to be the best at this job. You just do everything that you want, that you can just to be top. And then after you do that, you realize that the company ain't everything that you thought it was going to be. Like, you didn't achieve what you wanted to achieve. Or maybe you ain't what the company thought initially. Because this is what happens when you first get a job. You first get a job, you know you're going to be in the office. You ain't really met your coworkers yet, or y'all still trying to, you know, really, like, get used to one another. So, you in the office, you coming in crisp shirt, slacks, nice and pressed, good tie, tied in a full Windsor. And you showing up every day on time, you know, got your computer open, checking all your e-mails, making sure your inbox is empty. And then, you know, after about three months, you know, you not responding to e-mails, looking for the eight hours, you not wearing a tie no more. You might not press your slacks. The Kool-Aid still tastes the same. You just ain't got to do what you had to. Like, the Kool-Aid now comes to you. You decide, like, work starts at 9, it's 8.50. And you just leaving your house. You know it takes you 15 minutes to get to work. And you decide, you know what, I'm going to stop at W Donuts and get a coffee. I'm not even worried. Like, I'm not even going to try to be here at 9. It used to be a time when you was actually there at 8.55. Facts. Now you actually just show up to work. At your desk, not walking in the door. You at your desk at 8.55. You know what I want to do? I want to get settled. I want to check all my e-mails before things get a little busy. And I'm going to be at my desk and ready, and I'll be ready for the morning meeting. Three months in, you in the parking lot at 9. Listening to the end of a podcast. Like, oh, whoa, whoa, what are these guys talking about? Let me finish what they're talking about. So, all I'm saying is, fellas, I ain't saying there's nothing wrong with saying good morning, beautiful, good morning, gorgeous. Just don't start everything off like that. Because until y'all get about six months in, you don't really realize, like, how inconsistent you're about to be. Speaking of inconsistent, what we're talking about today is, you know, how you start. And I perceive it as how you start. A lot of our conversations are often about, you know, dating, relationships, that type of stuff. And recently some lady posted a list with the collaboration of other women of places women absolutely refuse to go on a first date. And thank you to the ladies who reached out to me to help me on the list. Who are the ladies? That's what I just need to know that. I don't know who these women are. You know, when they make lists like this, I'm about to sound real superficial. I just want to know what they look like. That's a good question. Like, because some of y'all look like wildflowers. I didn't even look good enough to even like, like have an opinion on that list. Like sometimes like you should just be happy that they take you. You know, that's the issue with democracy. Like should everybody get to vote? No. And that's my thing. Like when you look at a list like this, like, are y'all really, should all y'all really be contributing? Cause maybe some men don't want to even, how many of y'all even been to the Cheesecake Factory? Has a man thought enough of you to say, you know what? You know, I like the way she do her thing. Come up to the Cheesecake Factory. Come up to the Cheesecake Factory. Or do men look at you and say, nah, I'm a, we're going door to door. Like, well, I ain't about to be out in public with you. Cheesecake Factory. And this is another piggyback on the, on the original conversation that we came in on starting off. In the first date. On one of those things that like that day, good morning, beautiful, all that stuff. You got to start off consistently, right? If I can't take you to them places on that list, I'm assuming that they must want me to take them like state 48. Dresslers. Roof Chris on the first date. The reason why that ain't no consistency. Cause what happened by date? Number three, where I'm taking you to Red Lobster. And she has the thing. And that's a good point because like, do you want to start off at the top or do you want to build towards something like what you would, what you would look at a man crazy if he showed up on the very first date and said, Hey, I know we just met. We're getting to know one another. I would like to take you on a date. Here are two plane tickets. We're going to Antigua. I know some women that would not. I know that. I know some women that will be like, I guess the way they look at it, they get a free trip out of it. Here's my thing though. Here's my thing though. Here's my thing. If my first date is me, give you two plane tickets. Then we go on to Antigua. You, you, you putting something out. Date one. Date one. And I ain't one of them girls. You got on that plane. You want, you want us playing with me to Antigua? You one of. This is all inclusive. You one of. That means everything's included. I'm going to tell you one thing. If I put you on a plane and first date, we go to Antigua and you agreed to get on that plane and you come into this hotel room, this resort room that we got, that's one bed. Like what are your thoughts when you arrive? Like, yeah, he's taking me to Antigua. Oh, okay, girl. So what, what's the sleeping arrangement? What do you think the sleeping arrangements are? It's a king size bed. One. King? Single. We too far apart. No, no, no. There's going to be one queen in here. We need all the space and opportunity. WWE wrestler. We about to get down in this thing. But I need you to understand that you, you just got to understand that you putting out. If you, if you accept the plane ticket, and I know a lot of women don't listen to this, but I should be able to take a ticket and not have to put it out. Like, listen, girl, let's bring it back down to reality. Let's be real. What man is taking you on a trip to another country? And you just think, you know, all I got to do is just sit there and be his friend. But let me be devil's advocate. And by devils, I mean women. Let me advocate for women here. Okay. Somebody, there are men. Who feel the same way that you described in Antigua. About the cheesecake factory. Now those men, they're thinking. Now, I said, you said cheesecake factory. Now you, you, you know what happened. Cheesecake factory. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to put it to you like this. I'm going to put it to you like this. Anything domestic. Is not worthy. Of putting out. Anything domestic. I'm talking about even if I live in California and I fly home from Atlanta to come to California, come hang up. That ain't even like, you know, that ain't worth like international. This girl, listen. You putting out. If you got to get a passport, you got to put up. You got to put out. That's Larry P. You got to put out. But like, if I take, I want, I want to be clear. If I take you to, if I take you to state 48, or even like I say, if I fly you across the, fly you across the country from, as long as it ain't to like Hawaii or nothing. Hawaii, that's international water. You know what I'm saying? Hawaii. Wait, what about Puerto Rico? Puerto Rico, international waters. Those international waters. Don't, don't try to hit me with like, oh, it's still part of the U.S., bro. Girl, like you, you are, you, this, this, this is a. Yeah, you don't. Do you have to go through customs to go to Puerto Rico? No. I don't think so. Okay. Yeah. I know you don't have to go to Hawaii, but I'm just, if you got to go through customs, then there is an expectation. Landlocked domestic locations. Yeah. There are 48 states that you can travel to that Larry P. would say, listen, it is not an expectation. But as soon as you cross that border into Canada. Oh, man. We are in Toronto. Yep. That's why I'm with Drake people. Drake been pulling that car for years. Yeah. Like, girl, you are in Toronto. You're a six. What you thought. You were the six guy. What you thought was the expectation. But yeah, so. Yes, I know this is the Cheesecake Factory in Toronto. Those men need to come back to reality and realize this, man. Fellas, stop acting like taking the girl out to the Cheesecake Factory is worth it. You get some. Like, spending the amount of money on it. Let's be real. It's all sophisticated prostitution at the end of the day. Eventually, if you take it, a girl out on an update, one day, two days, three days, four days. Eventually, you'll get what you want. You know, you're paying for something. That's not that's not actually correct. Like, at some point, fellas, you got to realize that these dates ain't going nowhere. There are plenty of women out here. And I know they was out here when I was out in them streets. And they definitely out here in 2023. They will go on a date for a free meal. They will go on a date to attend a concert they want to see. They will go on a date just because they want to leave the country. Like, they have no intentions of doing anything that you are interested in them doing other than go to the place that you are taking them. So, fellas, please recognize your worth as well. You don't have to keep spending this money. And I don't care what TI says. It is still triggering if you have it. Beyonce tickets, that ain't worth you putting out. Because I promise you this. Good point. I promise you this. If you go to a young lady and say, listen, you know, I know we went on a couple of dates and, you know, I really want to take you and she's going to look at you and say, you know what, he usses, but I want to see Beyonce. Yeah. And that's what's going to happen. Going to a concert is like going to a movie. She ain't got to talk to you. Oh, yeah. Well, but hold that thought because when we come back, I want, I want, I want to do a scorecard. There's like 28 things I see on this list. And I want to see how many of these do I feel like the women are wrong on. Because maybe, maybe I'm judging this list without thoroughly going through the list. I feel like this is only something that me and you are thoroughly equipped to analyze and the way it needs to be analyzed. The list is wrong. But I want to go through the list. Not everything. That's what I'm saying. Is it the whole list or are there certain things that I feel like they're being a little unreasonable about? It's a strong 15 on that list that is wrong. Okay. We'll talk about it. It's the unemployment line.
