Speaker 1:

What's up everybody? welcome back to the Lawyer and the Soda podcast. My name is Jay. I'm Megan and, as you can see, we have some special guests here with us today, and I'm gonna let them introduce themselves. You go right ahead.

Speaker 3:

I'm Rhea and I'm Brandon, that's all y'all gonna say And you're watching, right?

Speaker 2:

I heard it too. I heard it too, so you're watching.

Speaker 1:

Oh no, so this is gonna be bad. So it's nothing but laughter, i know, but this is good. I feel like the world gets to see who we actually are in real life. So this is the Lawyer and the Soda podcast. We are Jay and Megan. Wow, we are.

Speaker 3:

Jay and.

Speaker 1:

Megan, and we are here with more love. So we're gonna put their little thing down about, to make sure they all watch their thing too. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

Yes, please, please.

Speaker 1:

All right, so we are called the Lawyer and the Soda podcast, and that also matches our best friends, which I'd like to tell them. why that matches y'all?

Speaker 3:

Because, I'm loyal And I'm definitely a service.

Speaker 4:

Yes, she is, i'm a somebody.

Speaker 1:

So we have been talking about doing this for a long time and I felt like now is the time, you know what I'm saying 2023 is our year 2023 is me What?

Speaker 2:

does that even mean, i feel like the last time somebody claimed a year was 2020.

Speaker 1:

So we're gonna begin today with a segment that we call Wild Thoughts, and the Wild Thought for today is opposite sex friendships don't have to be sexualized. Who wants that? I didn't hit the mic, brandon. I'm sorry. It's gonna be bad for the audience. It was my head from.

Speaker 3:

I'll start. I feel like I'll just start by saying what everybody has thought. I think a lot of people think that if you are best friends with someone of the opposite sex, eventually it is going to become sexual, because best friends are very vulnerable with one another And you're sharing yourself, i guess intimately, with someone else. then obviously there's gonna be feelings and I'm like but does it have to be that way?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's a really good question. I feel like we've all had our own journey with this, because of us. You know what I mean. Yeah, i think that there is a real way in which God meant for men and women to exist together, even beyond the boundaries of like marriage.

Speaker 3:

You know what.

Speaker 1:

I'm saying I think, because we do live in a very sexualized culture. I think it makes it difficult for people to even kind of conceive how that can be a thing. And the reality is, amongst the four of us we've had to figure out how that is a thing. You know what I mean. But I think, ultimately, i think it takes a lot of maturity, yeah, very much so.

Speaker 2:

But I also think that media doesn't help. Think about how many movies there are out there with the premise that they were best friends and fell in love and didn't even know. So I think some of it isn't just the over sexualizing. I think some of it is. This is what media teaches us.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, brandy, do you have anything you want to say? Because I wanted to say something else. No, go ahead. I think that a big element of this is trust.

Speaker 3:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Right, so not the oven beeping while I'm talking Real life. So I think that there has to be a trust between you. Let me zoom out a little bit. So we are married, but what about people who aren't married, right?

Speaker 1:

So there needs to be a trust between you and the other person that this relationship can actually exist in the friend space without feeling like the other person is going to sexualize with the relationship. I think in a marriage context I think there's a lot of different angles of trust. So I think her and I have to have a certain level of trust with one another to allow her to relate to you, me to relate to her and vice versa. So why do you think so many people don't trust in that capacity?

Speaker 3:

So I will say this, and Brandon and I have talked about this on our channel as well, so Ah, come on, man.

Speaker 1:

Ah, come on Flo.

Speaker 3:

But I will say so. I feel like when people are about to get married, they bring in their best friends or whatever the case may be, and they don't communicate with their spouse. You know what I'm saying. They don't say, hey, this is such and such, this is my best friend, yada, yada, yada. It's like they separate the worlds and so, for instance, if I have a male best friend, i'm not bringing him around. My husband, you know what I'm saying. It's like me and my husband, and then me and my best friend, and it's separate. And so my husband's like who's dude? Oh, he's my best friend. And then, if I ever get into an argument with Brandon, i'm running to my best friend, and then it's like this I guess weird dichotomy, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1:

Come on Ben word.

Speaker 3:

You know what I'm saying And I think that it can definitely create animosity between my best friend, my husband like all that stuff because there's like a separation instead of bringing it together.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I think that the whole marriage part of it.

Speaker 3:

It was her.

Speaker 4:

What are we doing?

Speaker 1:

Because I know what she's laughing at.

Speaker 4:

I do too. I'm like, would you just be professional and just move on No. So this is how it's going to be.

Speaker 2:

It was the you moving on. That's what he and me laughed. You know what's even funnier, what's that?

Speaker 1:

This is what she does.

Speaker 3:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

It was like looking at her, but in a black man body. Bro, you got to be kidding me.

Speaker 4:

So what I was going to say is when it comes to the way I think culture looks at stuff, like I think you said, jay is definitely kind of going off of movies, music basically like, what are the writers in Hollywood saying?

Speaker 4:

You're not actually just looking at what's in front of you and just being honest and mature about it. I think for us, one of the things that works is we were already married when we started really opening up and being mature and really trying to establish what we have going on. And I think what makes this work in the many connections that we have is that we had a lot of connections with the four of us, like lots of conversations, like we did that a lot before there was the breaking off. Yes, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Yes, So I think what it is is there's respect. I think respect for the married relationship, There's respect for the friend relationship. There's just mutual respect all around, which I think, Sharay, you are alluding to. there's a lack of respect when you're breaking off and having those conversations and not allowing your spouse to be a part of that. But I think if you can have respect to say, hey, I want to be a part of this, you can trust me. or even respect to say, like, shut up, Wait.

Speaker 3:

Are we going to get through? this Is the way that the names just swallow.

Speaker 4:

Is that what it was?

Speaker 1:

I'm all. Is that what it was? OK, i thought it would make sure I knew what it is.

Speaker 4:

How much cutting are you doing.

Speaker 1:

This is actually a great place to pause, because I realized I didn't actually press record.

Speaker 3:

No, What Oh on the.

Speaker 4:

Oh, that's hilarious.

Speaker 3:

So we're just going to get this angle here.

Speaker 4:

That's fine. I said I realized I didn't press record. Like so, hi, but here's the thing You already know, i appreciate that you are willing to stop and start it as opposed to just going. Oh well, it's no big deal.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, No, no, no. My brain won't let it go.

Speaker 4:

Even if half of the time or something shoot, i'll start over All right. Hi, i'm Brandon And these are the temptations.

Speaker 1:

Not these. So part of what I want to talk about. Y'all probably just seen us have like a clip in the episode, but here we are, right Part of what I want to talk about. Brandon, you said that there was a lot of conversation that happened. I feel like it could be helpful for us to share. Say it calm stations, oh 100%.

Speaker 4:

I can tell you right off the bat.

Speaker 3:

No Like, oh y'all that, close y'all that Something's happening.

Speaker 4:

I think. I think This kind of goes like we intersect at a particular point in life where we were talking on our channel about Marriage community, because I think y'all felt the same way that we have been feeling for years, which is, we aren't seeing out of eye on particular things and it's just my side and her side. There's no third party. We're not. We didn't go to counseling or anything not nothing wrong with counseling, but we just didn't go, yeah, and so we don't feel like we have Anyone to talk to to provide a non-biased perspective, mm-hmm, on our marriage. People that we trust, someone that we trust that can say, hey, i know you and I love you, but you're tripping like we didn't have that, and so we actually provided that for each other, and so once we kind of saw that we had that, i think all of us were like yo, i don't want to let that go, because you was, you kind of have my back.

Speaker 1:

Everybody's versus. I think I think the thing that makes this thing work. I want to kind of back up to like Don't make it from the mic though My bad.

Speaker 1:

So before we, before we even get to like us existing together as couples, i think that there is a mutual love and respect that we have for each other as individuals that, i think, colors and Governs how we relate to each other in this relationship. You understand and so I love branding as my, i must say, like a, like a marilander, a Baltimorean, a brother. Um, i love charrette as my sister and I obviously love my wife. Well, not obviously because some dudes don't be loving it. Why so? I'm just.

Speaker 1:

That's a whole different preach a whole sermon Um, but I do like I love y'all as individuals and then I love y'all as a couple and I really care about The health and the well-being of your relationship and I'm never going to do anything to try to compromise that.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely right, Absolutely And so.

Speaker 1:

I think that I do think that just as a tip, i think if the if there is a way in which Come on, sorry, i'm gonna say as a relationship heck, um, i do think it is necessary to Have a have an individual love and respect for the people that you're in a relationship with, because I think then that gives you a love and respect for the couple.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean. Um, i think that We have been developing this relationship for years at this point, right, um, and so we are kind of in a different place than most people probably going to begin, um, but there's a lot of things that we've done to try to make sure that we facilitate That this doesn't become anything other than what it should be. And a part of that conversation is hard conversations. You know what I'm saying. So let's sit down and say what are y'all boundaries as a couple for us, what are our boundaries with y'all as a couple for us? Like, what are we comfortable with, what are you not comfortable with? and having that conversation, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4:

What you're looking at Um. Do we have boundaries? Yeah, I think we do. We, i think I don't know that we've spoken to boundaries. I think we kind of like we are, we're so close that we kind of know. You know, i'm not saying that we can't speak them, i'm just saying we are Mature and smart enough to know what some of the obvious boundaries are.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:

I think for us, if I had to add anything like obvious, i was like get it up, get it up. Okay, i hate y'all, you ready.

Speaker 3:

We're gonna jump right over there.

Speaker 4:

I think for us, anything that's more obvious is like just respect of time. We always want to hang out, but sometimes for us we need the time To ourselves. Like we'll say like hey, like we're not hanging out this week, um, and vice versa, or or We just don't hear from each other. You know so sometimes for us, the boundary is We, as a married couple, need space to work on us, because the weekend, you know, we're all busy throughout the week, so the weekend becomes a time of.

Speaker 4:

Whatever, you know whether it's fun or building, or doing the work or whatever it is in the marriage. There are times and where we have Friday nights or Saturdays where we kind of just need that And I feel like we respect that boundary for each other. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think what I was saying was More so, i think, because there is kind of an intuitiveness about how we all do this For y'all though you might have to have some conversations For sure, yeah, got you.

Speaker 3:

So one of the things I would say is, as far as boundaries are concerned and I think I, i think I told all of you guys this It's one of the things that Brandon and I don't do is we don't bring up Issues or problems or anything in this group that we haven't talked about first.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, Yeah um and I think that blind spouting, No blind spouting exactly, and I think that that keeps, whether it's as like together, or even if if brand is like Hey, I need to talk to me again alone, Like It's something that he's already brought to my attention and maybe we just can't see eye to eye on. And then he's like okay, I've talked to Shiree about this and maybe I'm coming about it the wrong way or whatever. I need a wife's opinion or whatever the case may be. And then another thing is we don't keep secret when we talk to one another. We always let each other know like hey, I'm talking to J, I'm talking to Megan, I'm talking to Brandon Shiree, whatever the case may be. And I think that just the transparency keeps things just like right on the table.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the point of this was to really tell everybody that there is a real beauty and benefit to opposite sex relationships when they are not sexualized You know what I mean When they are not kind of, when there's like a line that's not being crossed. The beauty is men and women really are different. You know what I mean, and the way that we process as men and women is different. I think the beauty of this relationship is you have a man who's assertive and a woman who's assertive, with a woman who's loyal and a man who's loyal, and we get to kind of pair off and be for each other, something that our spouses can't be for us, which by the way, is a whole other conversation.

Speaker 1:

Don't be out here thinking don't be out here thinking it's about to be everything for you. That is literally impossible.

Speaker 3:

That's literally the whole conversation.

Speaker 4:

That's a whole podcast right there.

Speaker 2:

Cause they not, so you can let that go Next week on Lord.

Speaker 1:

Rex.

Speaker 3:

You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

So anyway, I think the beginning of this conversation is saying look at us, it is actually possible You not gonna see us in 10 days and something then fell apart. That's not what it's gonna be. We have done the work, as Brandon said, to make sure that this doesn't become anything other than what it is, And I think the other element that y'all don't get to see is we have six kids between the four of us and we have an opportunity to show our kids that this is possible for them in their adulthood That it doesn't have to be.

Speaker 1:

You're always attracted to somebody of the opposite sex. Yeah, actually you could just have a friendship with them and it can be a really beneficial thing. So any final thoughts on this here topic.

Speaker 3:

I would say there may be couples out there who don't have like what we have. As far as I'm literally best friends with Megan and she's best friend with me, brandon and Jaya best friends. But there may be someone that has an opposite sex best friend, that your spouse isn't best friends with their spouse. So I will just say one of the things that motivates me to want Brandon and Megan to have a best friend is I see how much she brings to this table. I see how much she can help my husband You know what I'm saying And to see the value in that allows me to want that relationship to work. You know what I'm saying And so I feel like, even if your spouse isn't best friends with your best friend spouse, as long as you're bringing everybody together so that everybody can see you benefit from this best friend, yep.

Speaker 2:

It's worth you having this best friend.

Speaker 3:

It helps us. I think it'll help.

Speaker 4:

And I think too, on the flip side of that as well, i feel like when you have a couple like you guys, that's like, hey, i want y'all to work, then she and I can go off, or you and I can go off and have conversations, and you're whole demeanor. Even if I wanted to say, yo, you're right, but Tripp, you'll still ground me and like, but y'all got to find a way to work, bro.

Speaker 1:

Okay, because that's the thing We will even fight. So Megan and I are married, but I'm a fight for their marriage, absolutely.

Speaker 4:

You understand Like you're not.

Speaker 1:

I'm never going to let my brother be out here like doing anything that is going to sabotage the good gift that God has given him in this marriage, and the same thing for my sister. Like I'm never going to let that happen, and I think that a lot of people need to hear that That you actually so. You said you use the words marriage community. You need people who are going to fight for your marriage, like you.

Speaker 2:

Yes, And you mean sometimes more than your family. Yes, because sometimes it's going to be weak.

Speaker 1:

Come on somebody, Yes, And so I think that there is a. I keep saying this, but I think that there's a real benefit to community. It really is the way that God meant the world to work.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean it just is Absolutely Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, I think this is good. I think we're going to have to at least do another episode like this We can really get into really get into a lot more details of what this can look like, but we want you to know that it actually can't happen and it really can work. You know what I'm saying. All right, moving on to trending topics. Okay, new York is sinking, i'm sorry. what, what?

Speaker 3:

What I did not. Are you saying like sinking deep in sin?

Speaker 4:

Like whoa, How are you sinking deep in sin?

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, no Okay.

Speaker 4:

See, that's that assertiveness that we get in camera.

Speaker 1:

I'm not going to say that, like, what you ain't going to do is sing on this podcast, and what you ain't going to do is tell me what to do.

Speaker 4:

That's what you're not going to do. New.

Speaker 1:

York City is actually sinking. They're studying it and the city itself.

Speaker 2:

Is it too many people?

Speaker 1:

No, so it seems like it's people and buildings. So the research here they have they have more than one million buildings. They amass nearly 1.7 trillion pounds.

Speaker 3:

Crazy Is it because they're mostly an island?

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 3:

So wow.

Speaker 1:

So it's only by? they say it's only by one or two millimeters a year, Wow.

Speaker 3:

Who's I'm sorry, who's measuring Right? Who has the time, bro?

Speaker 4:

What are you doing And how?

Speaker 1:

is it?

Speaker 2:

affecting steps Like are you going to step?

Speaker 1:

out in one day and just go down and open it.

Speaker 4:

Y'all ever seen those videos on Facebook where they put Styrofoam into the cement to raise it up?

Speaker 1:

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

They're going to have to do it. The whole deal. Just get those guys.

Speaker 4:

Just get those guys from the whole city.

Speaker 3:

So they're saying over the last 10 years it has sunk 10 millimeters. And someone is out there checking it.

Speaker 1:

Literally. First off, how many millimeters is in an inch? Do you know that, that's?

Speaker 4:

the girl.

Speaker 2:

It's 2.5 centimeters in an inch.

Speaker 4:

That's not helpful. I need inches.

Speaker 2:

There's a thousand millimeters in a centimeter, so is that? like 0.25 maybe.

Speaker 3:

That is outrageous to be calculating this.

Speaker 4:

So why are you calculating?

Speaker 1:

that There's 16 millimeters in an inch.

Speaker 4:

Okay, And it's two inches two millimeters per year.

Speaker 2:

That says milliliter, not millimeter.

Speaker 4:

Why are you in milliliters? Wow, my bad Thirsty. So I remember seeing an article that was talking about a building in New York that was also 25.4.

Speaker 2:

I had the numbers right. I had the decimal point wrong.

Speaker 4:

So in New York. There's also buildings that they talk about that are because of the sinking or actually leaning, and they say I'm not joking.

Speaker 2:

You can look it up.

Speaker 4:

There are buildings in New York that are actually leaning, and so my thing is that's now public knowledge. If I work there, i'm putting in my two weeks, so that's what I was going to say. I don't know why. we're still working here, So the elevator that was going up is kind of going like what do I mean?

Speaker 3:

But how? but for how much It's?

Speaker 4:

like 10 to 20 years. It's going to be a whole like several inches leaning, And so they're going to have to do. They say, oh, we have time, I'm still putting in my two weeks. Y'all tell me when it's finished and then I'll come back. But the building is basically like you can't tell by looking at it, But over time it's going to start leaning because people aren't going to stop moving to New York.

Speaker 2:

No, I'm going to stop having babies in New York. People aren't going to stop building in New York, so that one to two inches right now could be more.

Speaker 1:

They are projecting. Oh my gosh 7.9 to 23.6 inches by 2050.

Speaker 4:

Well, i have to keep them back on your beard. That's true, we gonna be all the way.

Speaker 3:

Everybody's like that's their problem. That ain't right. They want me underground.

Speaker 1:

Who cares if you're New Yorkers underwater, i'm underground, it's the same lunch and you quit a job, do you really clean your desk?

Speaker 4:

No, that's somebody else's problem.

Speaker 3:

That's absolutely insane. They were saying the same thing about California, though because of all the the what's the names, the earthquakes and stuff, they said that like California might break off.

Speaker 4:

They were saying that for Florida too.

Speaker 1:

Can you imagine just like being at home and all?

Speaker 4:

of that.

Speaker 3:

California is an island, and then you're just out in the oceans.

Speaker 1:

They have the creative bridge.

Speaker 2:

What if?

Speaker 4:

you on the border and you see the break and you're just like, oh my God, yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 1:

Apparently, this is like a real threat to all coastal cities.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes, that's crazy. And going by that math, in 30 years it could be two feet, like that's a lot That is significant.

Speaker 3:

Actually, that's a lot Yeah.

Speaker 4:

But then you know, pardon me, you know part my brain Like bigger beaches. No, but one thing is that, like I feel like, is this new? Like, is this like how long? Yeah, i feel like y'all, probably they knew this in the 80s, Like when all of my other buildings got built, it was, i'm sure it was the thing. And then it was like are you?

Speaker 2:

moving to New York.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm not. No, I was a bunch of developers like yo. let's see if we can sync New York. Yeah, Why?

Speaker 3:

It's a conspiracy, but because they are building up. They're building up everywhere. You got nowhere else to build.

Speaker 2:

I hope you know on that first floor. Just saying.

Speaker 3:

No way, that's true.

Speaker 1:

Anywho, I just thought that was very interesting.

Speaker 3:

That's very interesting, very interesting to talk about.

Speaker 1:

All right, let's, let's, let's do a little parenting hack. Oh my gosh, y'all ready.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So tell your kids how you experience them. So here's what I mean Kids are faithful to tell you how they experience you Always.

Speaker 4:

You hurt my feelings. I'm with their babies.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you hurt my feelings, you're being mean, and it's like I think we need to normalize the culture where parents get to tell their kids what they experienced from them too, Because the reality is, parents are human, they're not just parents. So I had a conversation with one of my kids the other day, who shall remain nameless, but said person has been denying me hugs.

Speaker 3:

Okay, i'm sure we can guess. And I said to said person.

Speaker 1:

There's going to come a day that I'm going to ask for one. You're going to say no, and it's going to be the last time I'm going to ask for one. So I just wanted to hear your thoughts on, like, how do y'all feel about telling your kids how you experienced them? Obviously, i'm on board for doing it, so what do y'all think?

Speaker 4:

No, i'm absolutely on board for doing it because I feel like one of the things that we want for our kids is we don't want them to experience that for the first time like out in the world with a friend or classmate And it's like oh, no one's ever told me that I do that to them. Nope, your parents have absolutely told you that they are selfish, or?

Speaker 1:

you are like we've, we do Yeah.

Speaker 4:

You need to know that. You need to be surprised when you get a roommate in college and they tell you exactly who you are.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, i agree. I think that and I I think you guys have talked about this on your channel We are honest with our kids, because I feel like no one else is going to be as honest with our children And we're the ones who know them the most. So, promoting like true honesty of like I see how you're growing, i see who you're developing into And God has given us our kids to stew with them. If there's something that I'm experiencing and I don't tell them, like how does it benefit them? Yeah, like I need to tell you because, as you get older, if this is something that people eventually start to experience with you and, like Brandon said, and they've never been told like it's, it's worse because they'll be older and I'm like I'm trying to correct this behavior, like they can't do it. So the younger you are, the more honest we are with you. It's easier at least. At least you know, you've been hearing it for years. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4:

So I think for me real quick. I'm sure you probably cut here How long are the oven? I know I was about to go like 20 something minutes or more No smoke.

Speaker 2:

Is there something in there? Yeah, chicken nuggets and fries. Oh okay, how bad is it.

Speaker 4:

You know what's funny.

Speaker 1:

You know, what's funny is? we were recording and I was like why do I smell chicken?

Speaker 3:

I know, because I thought that you were preheating and I didn't know that it was like in there. Yeah, my turn. Yeah, this is me talking.

Speaker 2:

So I think for me, i don't want to resent my kids Like I want to actually like my kids And if I am continuously experiencing something from one or more of my children, i'm going to end up bitter, i'm going to end up not liking them And they will feel that. Yes, exactly, and I want my. I want to have a great relationship with my kids in every season of life. Yes, so when they're teenagers and when they're young adults and when they're, you know, moms and dads and all the things. I want to have a great relationship.
