Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
I mean, it's really rough out there. It always has been. People think it's rough now. It's always been rough. People have had to put on different faces and masks and maybe not even be themselves.
Right, right. What's the worst lie that you ever told a lover or boyfriend? Oh, me. Wow.
Okay. Well, let me think. All right, I know. Wow. So big. So big. The biggest ever. Like, yeah, yeah. You really knocked something loose there, Tiger.
He believed me. He believed you. They want to. They want to. They need to believe that.
Of course. You know.
You moved my uterus. Thank you.
I walked a bowlegged for a week just to play. You know what I'm saying? To sell it. Why did you feel that you needed to sell it? Well, you know, people need confidence. Right. And suddenly they can move mountains. Right. So what about you? I mean, what's the lie? Have you told a boyfriend or a paramour?
I pride myself on being a truth teller. I have not lied to boyfriends or lovers. I tell the truth always. Now that's a lie. It is a lie. It's a lie. But I've been lied to. And you remember, I'm not going to say his name. You remember somebody that I was dating. He liked to sing. I remember that. He liked to sing, yes. He liked to sing ballads. He did. Just one.
He was a, you might call him a balladeer. So I went to hug him one time. And when I hugged him, there was a blonde hair on his shoulder. And I was like, what's this? And he says, that's yours. I was like, look, I don't have any blonde hair. And he said, oh, oh, my mother is a laundress. A laundress? The last time that was a profession was 1853.

Chapter 2: What lies have we told in relationships?
I should have known. Points off. And he's out. He's out. And he had a baby with her, but that's another story. Oh, my God. It gets worse. You can't hurt me. With a laundress? It was a laundress. No, he said that the hair of the person whose mother's clothing was washing with his, commingled.
And I was like, you have to understand, I had to pull the blonde hair out of the fibers of your- What was it, a pubic hair?
I mean, it sounds like it was woven in.
It was long and it was blonde. That's all you need to know. Wow. Yeah.
Ich bin Charissa und meine Entredung an alle Entrepreneure startet mit Shopify erfolgreich durch. Ich verwende Shopify schon seit dem ersten Tag und die Plattform macht mir nie Probleme. Ich habe viele Probleme, aber die Plattform ist nie eins davon. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass Shopify ihre Plattform kontinuierlich optimiert. Alles ist super einfach, integrier- und verlinkbar.
Und die Zeit und das Geld, das ich dadurch spare, kann ich anderweitig investieren. Vor allem in Wachstum.

Chapter 3: How does chemistry play a role in character dynamics?
I'd like to strike that from the record that that's not something that you should do. Shouldn't do, but it is possible.
But it happens. Did you ever feel the pressure to be on a specific path? You know, career first, man first? No, I didn't.
I'm lucky that, you know, listen, my mother didn't. My mother, who was very, grew up in a very traditional time, I know that she had a little bit of rebel aura. On her and rebel in that, you know, she grew up in the South and it was expected to get married right away and get your education right away, get married right away, start having children right away.
My parents got married at 25, which was late for that generation and didn't start having children until she was 32. So she was already married.
A woman who was more progressive.
Yeah. And really clear, I want to finish my education. Your father and I decided that we wanted to have enough money and have a home already. And so it was never instilled upon in me that you must do it this way. You must do it. It has to be this way. I want grandbabies by a certain time. And so I'm grateful for that. The freedom was given.
But we're also talking about women, again, women of color who have not had this sort of nuclear point of view of how to do something. There was no rules. You had to work.
And if you were working, especially after the civil rights legislation, you were trying to get into school because school meant that you could not only feed your family, but maybe even be promoted inside of a new world that didn't exist yet. So I think that your mother is coming from that sort of, you know, point of view.
This is different because now women are now trying to even decide whether they want to be with men. There's this whole 4B movement in Korea where women are saying, we can get together, own a home. We can get sperm if we want to. We don't have to have the burden of going and dating and all that other stuff, but we can have a lifestyle, vacation, all these other things that heretofore
