if you have a dream or a goal I think that you should always put yourself out there great um even the Bible says right like If I give you a talent and you waste it go to hell you know what I mean so I feel like I'm the best at what I do and that's how I introduce myself I don't care who I'm talking to you know what I mean I feel like everybody need to have a 30second commercial okay so speaking on that so did you come on the show like trying to find a
match or you're like you know what I'm going to come on the and just put my my business out there was that the goal definitely definitely Definitely definitely I was really looking for something serious okay you know and I was like tell us in the comment section they've been coming at my top pause you know what I'm saying like he's just here for promotion and that was not it I would say the very first contestant Dria uh she was one that I would have tooken like very serious you know what I mean like I was
I was feeling her you if you go and watch the whole thing all over Again like that was one that I was like you know this could be serious you know what I mean but then she was like I don't like dudes with kids or something like that you know what I mean like everybody was amazing everybody was beautiful but I'm saying like for me to be serious that she would have been the one she would have been the one okay okay so as far as like everyone else when you watch that episode what did
you guys think of James Like what did you did y'all do you guys believe that he was there for love or you guys feel like he was there just to market himself both both I feel like I I needed to taste one of his pies expeditiously that's what I wanted to do I was just like I want to try these pies okay even though the intent was not for him to advertise it definitely was he made it ring a bell so I have a question for James so James I'm from Cleveland Cleveland Ohio um if
I want a pie do you ship your pie I ship I'm Nationwide but you know I just want people to know that you can rub your stomach and tap your head at the same time like you know what I mean like well James you know the the shipping was like $50 right so I'm working on that stay tuned I promise stay tuned it's going to be cheaper than that right now it is a little expensive I don't make nothing off shipping but You know I was definitely here to find something real and it just didn't
work out in my favor okay good so James are you willing to go on again in the reverse position pause no Diddy um we G to have to have that conversation we can have that conversation you I got to say real quick for James pies those Pi is fire hey they are really good those are really good we got some samples James brought us some Samples okay they were pretty tasty tastes like your gry made them okay so James you actually brought up daa who was on your episode daa when you came out unfortunately you
didn't find a match either and um one of the main reasons that people ended up popping on you was something kind of a little silly when we look back at it but I mean I guess the them it was it was a big deal but let's go ahead and see what it was that everyone ended up popping on Hi I'm daa daa okay how old are you I'm above 30 okay is he someone that's your type yeah I think so okay how old did you say you were 33 33 okay yeah how old did you
say you were 36 36 how old are you above 30 above 30 mm you're not confidence in it I'm waiting for my husband to have a kid okay cuz I didn't tell my age y'all yeah look brilin already ready to Interject yeah playing games what you playing for okay so drias it seemed like you focused a lot on the men's age but then when when it came to you you were like above 30 like you didn't want to disclose yours at all you kind of explained it a little bit but do you want to kind
of get into it you know what y'all I'm so sorry if I could go back I would just go ahead and tell the age I didn't know that it was going to be a big thing my bad like if I could go Back in time y'all I would just say my age cuz I a't know it was going to be a big thing like that so how old are you 35 y'all 35 internet I am 35 you can't come on a show like this disclosing information do you got kids I'm maybe like what I say
that saying yeah 30 fine thank you thank you if I ever do anything like this again I will just disclose it all mhm cuz you mentioned on the show is because Of like brand deals or something along those lines like so the brands wouldn't have taken you if you were a certain age or what is it so I want to get into acting also and I really kind of okay y'all know how like Carly Red like if you look her up you can't find her age people like are like guessing about stuff like that and
certain celebrities lie about their age like I heard Beyonce isn't really the age that's on Google I'm just saying I'm just saying so I'm a Be I'm about to don't attack me don't ATT me don't girl don't like I just really didn't want it all the way out there but hell it's hell the internet bullied me 35 you're still young still young but yeah and I'll say for me like I didn't care what age you were you know what I mean like you could have been 55 you wearing it well like J I like that
that's that sauce right there trying to get his balloon unpopped Real quick somebody bring me another balloon so I have a question go ahead so now what's your name again I'm sorry Dria Dria now that you done tasted James pi yeah I want to give it a try yeah we can do that jam we can link [Music] tomorrow she said her and James can link tomorrow on now Brian we can link tomorrow too somebody bring me a two from my Individual balloon now she talking about but but but Dria I want to talk about something
I wanted you to stand on your age right because it really doesn't matter how old you are we don't care about that right but that's that's something important for a man to know when we we dating and we're asking these particular questions so it doesn't really matter if you're 35 you could be 45 if we want to get at you we going to get at you no question and you look good Period thank you see but you already took it back you said when I come back I'mma St my age stand on that age that's
on that age quot a night stand on that age okay all right well our next person we're going to talk about also got a lot of comments um you know a lot of people were saying like oh this girl has no self-confidence you know she keeps popping on assumptions this that and the third let's take a look at who that could have Possibly been I didn't mean to pop it oh you didn't mean to pop it no I just I have arthritis like my hands are bad and like it accidentally literally just pop but I
feel like you probably want a girl that's more like clean why you why you assuming that why you assuming and I'm just more edgier I already know you're not going to like it but my last relationship was New Year's January so that's just so you po cuz you assumed that I wasn't going To like it yeah because it's so recent and the other women you know it's been a couple years and not any you know the healing process I'm not the best cook and I dated a real estate agent before and it just kind of
clashed because I work more in entertainment music industry okay zaa so after looking back you know at your time on pop the balloon um I don't know if you were able to see any of the comments but a lot of like The viewers are like why did she come on the show if you know all she was going to do was pop on People based off of her own assumptions you know no one ever said this but she was popping on them like were you able to like see that when you went back and watched
it or what were your thoughts on that got thousands of messages emails I I mean positive and negative I just try to focus on the light and positive Side of things you know and it was just it was so much like comments on everything not just that the insecurity like just me like being a shipper and maybe not sometimes I like regret not like regret saying that I was a stripper because it's just like I know what comes with it so people just think like oh you're a shripper parttime so how are you looking for
love how are you like even a woman of God like it's just like All these things like no I'm still a woman of God and um like I still want love and things like that but it's just like overwhelming like all the messages so I have a question um oh I'm sorry I don't know what to say right now do do you feel like your job um is keeping you single like do you get in your head about it like is that something that prevents you from putting yourself out there do you feel like no
like when I like I'm Every Day I'm Working in the music industry I'm in this studio I'm around celebrities every day like I'm really working in the entertainment industry so what I mean by entertainment industry is music modeling and acting okay and being a boss that I am and like a woman of God the stripping is that's just a nine-o-five side hustle to me once in a while once in the Blue Moon that's not my life okay you know so it's just I I just I don't I I respect your Transparency on that because you
didn't have to say that exactly so when you coming looking for love you putting that transparency out there you're putting that truth out there and hoping a man accept that so I respect that it's like I want to be honest and genuine and open about all areas of my life but that's not my life like when I'm going to events and I'm networking with people I don't say oh I'm a I'm a shipper when I grew when I grow up I want to be a Shipper no you said that's a a nine to five side
hustle yes like that's just a job to me like I haven't been in the club for like two months now like that's once in a while here and there you know but every day my life is music creating like I go to church every Sunday you know but that's probably hard to believe just because I said that but the first thing that I said if you watch the show the first thing I said is I'm a Recording artist that's my life every single day like I just drop a song with Casey Veggies like I don't
think it's hard to believe that you go to church and you're dancer I think as a woman you got to do what you got to do to still provide and who is anybody to judge you for building an income the fact that is that doesn't Define who you are it just it's just like I get it like I get it cuz I'm I'm being realistic with everybody you know like all the lineup Of men you know that were truck drivers and this and that I'm just realistic and genuine cuz I was that hypocrite I was
in a stripper my whole life like I started very late in my life probably like 27 years old 28 years old but the work that you do does kind of Define who you are just like if you find out no it don't it don't but I will say like it gave me the confidence you definitely have to be confident to just be in the Music industry to perform to do all these things you got to have some level of confidence I get it but we're talking about we're talking about your the the people just focused
on that and I really wish they didn't focus on that cuz it's just like I'm more than a pretty face I'm more than just some stripper that's just some job to me it's kind of hard to not to focus on that because if I'm a man and I'm looking for love I don't want I I wouldn't want take me out of it Like that hey that would be great if I could have a man that's a Prov really quick cuz uh take me out of that yeah so as far as that stripp thing you know
a little traumatized but no I would say being um honest I'm traumatized as well just being a black and in the industry music industry and what I've been through I get it the entertainment business trust me but um what I'm saying I want to say is this the fact that you are honest about it as long as you have To lead with that you know what I mean I know you're saying like oh I did it two months ago whatever the case is but when you talk to someone they're going to feel like it's right
now you know what I mean so as long as you're transparent and and that's why I pop my balloon because being being realistic most likely I'm going to work with the guy that's working in the entertainment industry so when I say entertainment I'm not saying po male Porn star male stripper no music industry Sports they're most likely going to understand me more you're say because it goes hand in hand like I get what you're saying with B like I look up to that you're saying but that's why you popped your balloon but it's almost I
want to say like a coward way but you popped your balloon on the preconceived notion that yours is going to get popped instead of allowing it to see what's going to happen like yourself in the Foot balloon got popped or not I'm not going to go on a date because I didn't feel a deep connection with anybody how do you feel a deep Connection in 30 seconds okay like not even that the the physical attraction wasn't there you know just I'm just going off like women intuition but what I'm saying doesn't it isn't it like
a shot foot like notbe one day yeah sure you know but I can't see further than that and I'm 31 years Old and just based off experience you know dating guys that are outside of the entertainment industry they try to change me or they try to judge me like you're right now that's the preconceived notion no we're not judging you at all we're just bringing to light on what men think and with a lot of men that's why like the entertainment industry is going to be more and I'm more comfortable with that but The thing
is is that you guys don't know how men think because you're not y simple though to be honest y'all simple men and there's women that dance in the strip club and they find a whole husband there's like artists like cash do in the entertainment inders in everything and she find her a partner there's so many let or judge they don't they're not even open about it are you are you crazy most of these women are married they're in relationship they're going to college You know I just hate that people assume like oh you're you're a
shripper so you're not smart I just I get it because I was that hypocrite I you know in my younger days I never smoked I never drink I was the hypocrite that was saying oh I would never dance like that's degrading to women like but you just can never say never like you just never know how life is going to turn out for you for any situation so like I get it but I'm being Realistic and I'm letting those guys off easy yeah we're not going to work out Dorian go ahead hear from you yeah
um I actually I respect the naked hustle let's be honest most of the people that you know women that are you know I'm not going to say everybody but a lot of people that are in church or things are reformed you know what as far as how I feel about it I feel like you might have been projecting a little bit I think you need to stand on business about what you Doing why you do it and why you do it for yourself first of all and then you should use it as a testimony for
other young girls that are growing into women you know you could be a testimony for somebody but don't let any man make you feel feel bad about what you do and why you do it because you know why you do it because it's not my life ex my life is when I met you you're very humble you're very humble you're very beautiful and you're very sweet I didn't even know you Were a dancer so exactly cuz I don't go out there hey I'm a stripper nice to meet you no I'm a recording artist nice to
me meet you like I really work in this music industry they look at it in a negative way they look at it in a negative way I look at it in a positive way like I said if you look in the Bible I don't know exactly which book of the Bible was but I could have sworn the the lady that tuck that touched Jesus cloak y'all know what I was talking about was The Prostitute I don't know I'm not saying you're a prostitute but what I'm saying is that you can use it as and that's
like another thing there's different levels to this there's strippers there's prostitutes there's escorts no I'm just this a stripper here and there you ashamed of it this is not every day are you ashamed of it no I'm not ashamed of it it's just it's not my life like I just see it as it's just here and there let's go ahead let's go Ahead and move on to our next topic then so brillan um during your episode seems like you had a lot to say you know and some of the things you said caused a lot
of controversy you know the comments were going crazy on you so let's go ahead and take a look at some of your clips now what are some things you look for in a man initially I saw I thought the she was beautiful but was too much weave um toes hanging off the shoes for me um So yeah I just kind of the toe is like she gripping the side of the shoe cute I like the smile thank you it's the hair man it's too much weave it's lot going on she said she was from Kenyon

reversed and the women are judging us in a sense all the guys can understand that you know they tell us one thing is that our height pretty sure you can understand that young man you Know it's our height we can't change that but a woman can change about how she wears her hair and I can change about I can feel how I want to feel if I like this woman or if I don't like this woman and only get 20 seconds with them so it's not enough for me to be like well you know even
though she wears weave I still like her uh what's inside of her and things of that nature no we just going off the physical and if the physical doesn't attract me then I have To say because you tell us what to say you know I do not tell you what to say tell us what to say those words came out of your own mouth I ask a question I'm like can I ask a question what what are you looking for what's your man he need a man weed okay so you said a m we hold
on guys hold on so brayan you said you came on guys please hold on one second no respectfully so you're saying it's for clicks so are you saying you came on Just to get a viral moment no I'm I'm sorry I misspoke when I said that okay I meant to say like um it's it's you want to be different in some ways and things of that nature okay so this is how Ohio gets down not at all shout out to Ohio what what's your type though I would love to know I want to know to
cut people down to be different though no you we wanted to be honest I've seen many many episodes of this show and like I said the first thing that a woman would say is talk about a man's height and things of that nature and it's like yo we can't do anything about our height but what you doing in that moment it's your moment being honest about my moment if I don't like if I don't like the weave that's what I don't like so what do you like I I like a natural woman I I love
a natural woman I love someone that's soft um I love a woman that bask in her femininity um I love a woman that Loves to cook and I love a woman who who likes to love on me you know I like what likes me and um I'm used to women like my grandmother my mom they didn't wear weave and things like that okay look they didn't have weave back in talking about look let's let's stay on looks here that's what I love cooking okay we all can cook I mean we better know how to cook
we got to eat what's your look type I can't I it's not a certain look it has to be because You're popping on weave I said that I don't like weave but we love to wear weave honey yes that and y'all wear weave for each other y'all don't wear weave for us I I guarantee you probably it's if it's Five Guys three to four of us don't like weave but we'll take it though because it's that's what y'all do but we don't prefer that stuff y'all wear that to be in competition with each other you
so he is really delusional hey hey hey if the brothers Up here don't step up and say nothing for [Music] ourselves there's nothing wrong with we we just like to have fun it's not like I mean some dudes just don't care like if you get your hair done it's not really for us we don't it doesn't it's not a make a break thing for a lot of you saying is we like to have fun y'all doing it for y'all it's not it's not for us for ourselves not to be in Competition do you put on
a chain to be in competition with another man anybody no okay yeah how we choose to wear our hair and nails it's not competition we talking about hair we talking about yeah but that's for us that's not in competion and I'm and she's asked me what do I like I have a right to have you do true yeah but you could have kept the part when you said you said we do it for competition you ladies do it for when Get your hair done who's the first one to compliment you on your hair another woman
right most likely we're going to goad a truth teller I'm sorry yes we heard you brayan we heard you so Shaya hey you ready I'm ready so obviously uh accountability was a word that was thrown around a lot during your segment when you know when they were referring to you they were calling you purple dress you know all through the comments so let's see what People were talking about and why they said that yeah why are you single oh okay we'll still ask um you are handsome you are definitely my type I just did not
like the question I feel like when men ask that sometimes they're trying to find something wrong um and I'm single because I'm single I haven't met the person I just didn't like the question from your P your last relationship name one thing that you did Wrong and one thing that he did wrong I'm not answering okay lack of accountability facts Oh I thought it was so cute so sha what do you have to say you know about the comment saying you just have a lack of accountability you didn't want to take any type of accountability
when it came to some of these questions what do you have to say about that okay so um honestly when I filmed the episode I left there on such a high I was like Oh my gosh this was so fun and I even spoke to my match Jeremiah and a couple that we went out with I'm like they're going to drag me a little bit cuz I wasn't answering some questions but I didn't know was going to be to that extent I'm not going to lie y'all Came From My Life um and I know I
can't go back and fix fix the past um I can only grow from what happened um when I first was reading the comments I was like no you Know but I had to sit down and think about it if two 3,000 people are saying something something I have to change something I have to fix something so I went back and watched the episode and if I could have changed something I would have answered the questions um one of my mistakes that I may go on the show was I live a somewhat private life and I'm
going on a public platform and thought that I couldn't I didn't have to answer certain stuff and I learned that that Was a big mistake um I am a very accountable person but um so my match on the show which was Jeremiah shout out to Jeremiah um I I could honestly I should and I I did apologize to him um after the show that I should have given him the opportunity to pop if I didn't want to pop my balloon I should have L that up to him um and then after the show I did
answer the question to um answer his question and the first guy that asked You know why am I single um I could have answered that question too so you know I'm watching the episode and you know I got a lot of positive feedback and I got lot of negative feedback and I can only grow from what happened so yeah okay all right so just to open it up to everyone yeah that's the biggest red for like ever the very first thing you should ask someone when you're talking especially I'm talking to dudes is like what
happened in your previous relationship And what did you do for that we had that conversation about what I did I mean aside from the show I'm talking about but um and then I had a conversation with Chanel about that but that's the first question what did you do for that relationship to quote unquote not work cuz most and no feminist type stuff I'm not saying but most women or most people were just say oh just the guy he did this he did this no and that's a red flag in itself if if they can't say
one Thing that what's hard about dating you that's a question you should ask anyone you speaking to and if you don't if you can't answer that what's hard about dating you can't say one thing that's hard about dating you stay away from that woman absolutely we look let me address Tim before you speak um I do agree with you and like I said I I learned from this experience um and if you guys remember I did say we both did something wrong it wasn't just Tim it Wasn't just me it was both of us Collective
but in that moment like it's action C are you know none of this was rehearsed y'all when we go on this show Arlette don't meet with us in the back this is what's going to happen it's literally action and just that was the first thing that came to my mind you know and I I'm sorry let me finish let me finish um when I spoke to Jeremiah and I did answer the question I'm not perfect I have fallen you know and I do Take accountability that I did do things wrong in my past relationship if
I could go back and fix it you know and I apologize to everybody I did get upset I would have answered the question there's no way that I said I was perfect I didn't do anything wrong I not did not say that one time so people are saying I'm a red flag because of that nobody is perfect ining you honey yeah no one is perfect you know and I I I apologize to to my match you know I can only grow From the situation so I did say what I did wrong and what he did
wrong and we both moved on from the situation absolutely real Qui real quick followup so but you're saying like oh none of this is rehears when you're saying oh all these cameras and stuff why wouldn't your first reaction be to tell the truth okay so I didn't lie I did lie in that moment I was the only one so I'm I'm addressing the moment with me and Jeremiah I was the only one who still Had my balloon at that moment the only person and when he asked me that question it it was honestly it was
just me guarding my heart in that moment cuz I was in a room full of strangers I didn't know anyone and that was just me protecting myself in that moment and I didn't feel like it was like a safe environment for me to open up myself in that manner I didn't know anyone to just start saying stuff about me had I had gone back I would have absolutely Answered the question it was nothing bad it nothing scary you know what I mean I was just really guarding myself in that moment and it it it didn't
turn out the way I thought it would have turned out you know but moving forward if that question is asked to me again I will answer it so we we we're on a public platform so we're looking for transparency I agree so when we ask when they asked the question and the first thing you do is pop in my mind Automatically is you ran yeah I and I okay I I agree I can't I can't say what you're saying is wrong cuz I did run in that moment I like I said had I if I
was able to do it again I would have let Jeremiah pop the balloon I wouldn't have popped it or the other guy so they're telling us to move forward so I hope I did answer your question you guys I am very accountable I have people around me who keeps me accountable the picture that was painted was not me but I I Grew From the situation I learned if you live a private life do not go on a public platform well spoken I would like can I just say one thing like just in your defense um
with everything you said coming out in front of people you don't know anyone just that question why are you single women we just don't like it we'll answer it but sometimes when we get that question on the phone is like you know like I don't want to talk about that Right now it's nothing wrong with having that conversation but sometimes timing is important when you ask that question and when a guy approaches a woman and be like man you look good you got everything why you single it's like translations I want talk about what's wrong
with you my answer to that why we're single because we were created God made Adam and when he made Adam he made Eve he didn't make Eve and Samantha and and Sarah and multiple women he made Adam with Eve one person so when we're living in this life when there's multiple people and it's kind of hard to maneuver to find your person you found your person both of you had you put in the work to find that but a lot of us have to put in that work so when I asked though why didn't you
why are you single it's simple to say I just haven't found my person that's what I said that's exactly what I said too maybe I shouldn't have popped you know and like I said it's like men are trying to find something wrong with us I'm I'm single because I like I said I haven't met my match I haven't met my soulmate and I believe that God is keeping him somewhere for me and I'm okay on waiting you know I answer is already there like why would you ask somebody while you single because not everybody's on
that what you want me to tell you oh cuz I beat up my boyfriend like I don't know what you want to hear when you ask that Why you single you know the truth we want the truth but so what do you mean the truth I got five kids and and and it's and it's hard for somebody to accept that so that's what you want somebody to say we want the I see we want transpar transpar that's it I got why are you guys single okay why are you sing yeah we're we're just a difference
why were you single before same reason not finding your person and then being open to finding The right person I that we just we're just meeting if you're intelligent enough to know that a person hasn't found their person yet you intelligent to know why someone SED look at you and story automatically I have to ask you questions to get to know you that's what the question you can ask questions but at the end of the day question what is ask question at the end day what you been through what's your experience what's your story why
are you Single see if they're crazy basically show like what you want me to do tell you on the popular balloon communication tell me the truth just talking moment don't try to overthink it like n it ain't that tell me exact you know what to expect from this show you know what to expect you came on the show and you're all right so then don't get mad if somebody choose not to answer a question on the show you cannot we on a public the all right y'all let's Let's bring it in let's bring it in

little unsure about you guys I was like dang I don't know man he he popped and she's not sure about the kids you know whatever it is way he grabbed my Hands when we walked off he wasn't sure I wasn't sure but so you know obviously he initially popped because he does have kids have the kids how's that been like for you I know cuz first you were a little iffy about it how has it been oh it's been good for me okay I mean it's it's my my co-parenting situation has always been good my
kids are a little bit older so it's never really any any issues and then the kids are older they they Welcome kayen and just you know they're teenagers they as long as they're happy everybody's happy I'm happy and it's been a good situation so yeah the both of our families have been very supportive so far so good so speaking of families um how was it were they shocked that you guys you know cuz how long after you guys met did you get engaged was about a a month okay well I knew I knew after like
two weeks you know what I was going to do so Then we went to the followup man that was that was that so how they take how did they take it when you guys told them mean they was shock they was shocked like everybody else you know we didn't expect the reaction on the internet to be what it is but I mean it's a lot of love and support you know people telling us their Journey their stories and saying when you know you know is a true statement man it's kind of like one of those
things that's like you can't Really explain but when you know you definitely know so yeah right like my family was definitely like um are you sure but then I told them you know watch the show watch the proposal and they did they saw his character they saw you know all the things he was saying about me and they were they were happy for me after seeing it after seeing us together sometimes you just got to see it to believe it can feel y congratulations y' connected and it's so high Vibrational exced being public with you
know relationship is something that both of us have never done before so our family is like you know this must be serious and it is very serious so yeah cuz you guys started a YouTube channel and everything right we have a YouTube Love M uh said probably 11,000 [Applause] subscribers yes our YouTube page lot of love man oh man so have you guys started wedding planning I know you just got Engaged we ain't trying to rush y'all but I'm just asking have you started we started mhm we have a date we have a venue we're
making our guest list can I be invited the door L it's LOL but I'm well unfortunately you not on episode 12 going to talk about everybody we there wait when is the day huh if you want to dis close it I know a lot of people some people don't like disclosing the dates is it next year so we're Getting married uh June 1st 2025 cuz June is the day we met let's get it over there yeah congratulations wow I'm definitely so so happy for you guys NBA Finals what did he say never get married okay
well yeah like everyone here said you know we feel the love between you guys like it's it's so hard to believe that you guys just met um you know not that long ago but you know like Mike said when a man knows he knows and a woman too we know too all right perfect so our next gentleman was definitely talked about a lot all over you know there's clips of you on Tik Tok Instagram even Facebook I don't even go on Facebook but I seen it on Facebook so Brian you already know we're talking about
you right let's go ahead and take a look at your journey on pop the Balloon how many kids you got I got three you got three Y how many baby daddies I have three you got three baby daddies okay how many kids you have I have two how many baby daddies two two okay so you didn't think after the first one that you wanted to marry the next one no no how many kids you have your preference I have three 25 18 and 12 okay how many baby daddies two two M okay so there's no
there's no disrespect towards that right but I just want you To understand when it come to a man of top tier right we give you a few from one man that's it if you have multiple from a different man that that that disqualifies yourself soif a top tier top that's exactly right why because there's billions of women on this planet all right Brian so you came out episode 15 I was like Brian what are some of your deal breakers you said you Don't have not not one not any but as we saw as you went
down the line you did have a deal breaker and that was women that have multiple baby daddies right so you know what do you is that something you came out knowing or of course of course I came out knowing but for that right person I will compromise for that right and I think every man will compromise for that if they come in with multiple kids for multiple different men right we got to Like them like that um that was my deal breaker but like I said on the show then I would extend Grace for somebody
that I'm feeling like that so that's what that was okay so then um why is that something you didn't say like up front when I was like oh What's your deal Breer um because I didn't because after listening to the women I don't know which one I was going to like you you know I didn't as far as their responses who I was going to uh attract or you Know pull energy from so I didn't really know who I was going to feel until I heard what they had to say so that's that Grace part
right there right so even if they had multiple different kids from multiple different men if I still like them like that I would accept that like real men do okay okay so you're kind of saying like you didn't want to say that just in case one of them popped on you oh long would have pop if I said that he was testing the waters yeah but He was giving nobody Grace why you saying even though that we we we talked me and this guy earlier we was joking around he said nothing wrong like it devalues
the woman when you go through multiple men and have multiple baby daddies we don't want to deal with that if you got three kids and three baby daddies it's like damn your decisionmaking skills are horrible y'all forget that yall the on right there and then y'all forget that we're well I I'm 41 years old I got a 25y old child so you're basing your perception of me from 25 years ago I'm not that person that I'm not that kid that I was 25 years ago and I'm not that young adult that I was 25 years
ago I've grown from that I've healed from that I now make better choices better decisions and I live more of a a healthy love life you know then I did then so you're going to tell me oh well you got this many kids I can't date you oh but that happened 25 years ago at What point are you going to give Grace like at at how long are you going to um I don't want to use the word punish you know for lack of better words a woman for her past like Brian came out and
said I don't judge a woman from their past you know we all make mistakes and then he basically just flat out judge J that's the gentleman's preference we not judge you for how many kids it's how many baby fathers you got if you if you get with a guy and I'm 4 years old per And I have eight kids by by six different women that says something and then everybody's situation is different like four baby daddies but that's not that's bab daddies my children I I have about two different men and I was in a
12year relationship that was abusive I escaped that by God's grace I give thanks every day and so when I moved on to the next relationship I'm just looking for something better than what I had and just because it was better Doesn't mean it was for me so when I realize this isn't for me you know should I marry this man just because Society is going to look at me like I'm a failure as a mother or as a woman or no should I keep going and look for what is really for me I'm not going
to say that I've made all the best decisions as a young adult I never I never said I made the best decisions and that's what we referring to the decision making skills yeah you know but that's now yeah That's in the past so you're not going to meet a woman and she tell you she stole a candy bar at 14 old oh no I can't do that I don't do thieves yeah she was a kid she made a mistake she ate that and it's the the candy bar is gone so in my situation I feel
like I ate that I ate that relationship that I went through I I ate being a young teenage parent I ate it like the young kids say you ate I feel like I ate I've grown from that I'm not That person that I was the relationship is awesome but the key you you're burying the the the Man's children all right so Jana um when you were having you know your conversation with Brian during that segment um what was going through your mind when he's asking you all these questions like okay how many baby daddies how
many these kids what was like your thought process like if you want to walk us through that um I'm true to my core I I'm not ashamed of my Past I'm not ashamed of my three kids and if I wouldn't have the three baby daddies I wouldn't have my three amazing kids I don't allow him and his judgment to Define me as a woman of where I stand on today it's his preference he deserves a queen of however whatever that looks like for Brian but for me you have to accept me as a whole with
a four unit so it's it's it's either are you even equipped to hold down this fort fort you can't judge me I didn't take Anything personally I talked to Brian afterwards I said you know I don't take anything personal I'm not mad at you you know I don't it is what it is it's it's my person is my person you know what I'm saying but like people don't know how to live in reality they want to live into society you know and and it's fake to me I'm I'm I'm not I'm not with it okay
and then think sha you wanted to say one thing I I do want to say which I said to You earlier we all have our preference which is fine you might like them tall you might like them short you might like them with the kids but I think it was just your delivery that really was kind of tough to watch um so that that's all I had to share and we kind of chat about it chatted about it before you know Everyone's entitled to what they like but it's just the way you were speaking to
the ladies which was kind of harsh So speaking on that Brian do you feel like You could have delivered your message in a different way um I think I wanted to deliver it the way I did right okay because um if if I'm coming on some soft some softness you're not going to really grasp what I'm telling you that's not right and the thing about a ability is you want me to deliver it the way you want to hear it no the truth hurts the truth hurts you got to be able to embrace that we
as men we Embrace accountability and women have To do the same exact thing and not get angil and feel like men are aggressive not and feel like men are aggressive when they're when they're delivering what they're trying to say like no I wasn't disrespectful on the show right and maybe I could have delivered a little bit a little bit softer but that's not the rout that I chose to say something the way you been talk second James is going I wanted to say something about that I understand both sides you Know what I mean like
for me I don't care if a female has a starting lineup you know what I mean like I've dated girls that have multiple kids you know and I think that men think one of two ways one is like okay you made horrible decisions and then the other downfall could be you know these are extra mouths to feed or bills you know um and for me I love kids you know like I'm a kids person so I don't mind dating a woman that has kids um so that's all I wanted To say is like can I
say something Brian I don't think your delivery was 100% wrong but there is a difference between the you as a type of man and there's another type of man there's two different types of men it's your preference and it's a man that knows that he comes into this world to be a leader protector provider who also knows that you're going to take care of a family as a whole it doesn't matter if they're your Kids or some it takes a village to raise these kids I didn't take any judgment but if you prefer a woman
with one kid or you want some more with more kids that's on you you're just not my person and I'm not mad at you and I'm not even mad at the world and I don't give a [ __ ] about anybody if we can keep it g you know I I take care of my kids they're well taken care of I'm an independent woman and I deserve a strong man who's ready to take care of a household not Saying that that's not you or no other man in this world everybody got their own opinion and
I respect you 100% it is what it is let me hold on wait wait hold on and I respect that I appreciate that right it's going to be a special type of man that's going to come in and take care of you and your unit that's going to take care of you and your unit right cuz most men want to start their own family right you know what I'm saying so why would we come in and be a stepdad When we know if you have three kids then I'm going to be the fourth you going
to look at me like the fourth even if I'm taking care of the house right because they're not mine because you're not a baby daddy you're a husband like you're not going to be a baby dad a household it's a different I understand that but I'm not their real father right so I'm not their biological father right so and and things come with that right it comes with you may feel like you know I'm not Raising your sons right or you can't I'mma D this right now I had a baby daddy that told me in
front of my child I am not his daddy I don't need a [ __ ] like that I don't and I said [ __ ] you don't want one I need a man who knows who's going to come into a whole house he's going to take mine as his he's going to take me as his partner it's one honey when you find a wife you find a good thing I'm not living into to society or social Media this show and I appreciate you guys cuz this is real life mhm you show me the real deal
MH you know what I'm saying and and and I'm not going to say too much more but you know that is if you guys were to get together hypothetically speaking who yeah I'm hypothetically speak hypothetically you and Brian you you and Brian if you and Brian were to get together hypothetically speaking uhuh can he put his hands on your children what put his Hands on my children well we know what we talking about I mean Brian you understood what I was saying correct correct if your if your kids is acting up yeah can he whoop
your kids like he whoop his own son if they need it ah I mean let's you just have to if you going to whoop somebody else's kids you just got to be ready for that repercussion afterward exactly what comes after that because as a father Nobody's going to whoop my kids exactly but if I am the step parent of somebody else's kids I'mma whoop them but you're not understand that that's that's who old my son has never had a whooping listen I'm ready to fight for mine so I'm I'm going to check you on that
and if dude want to check me on that he has that right and that's all I'm saying and and those are the issues that we deal and those are the issues that we deal With with being a stepparent like and another thing I want to address is that like Brian I've been hearing you talk since we've been here all day like your demeanor hasn't changed so I want to say like I don't think that you were aggressive at all I think that you were being you and I appreciate that authenticity that you have been bringing
and I still got and I still got a couple more jokes in the back of my head for your ass okay y let's wrap this up let's Wrap this up and so Chanel you were like the queen of facial expressions I was and everyone was showing you like uh there I was getting tagged all over Instagram like look at at this woman like she's making all the faces and I feel like most of it was during Brian's segment so let's take a look at all the faces you were making that that that disqualifies yourself so
it disqualifies a top tier woman but you're judging me on the fact that I have the choice no I'm not judging you that just means that I'm not for you if you're going to judge me because my second baby daddy didn't work out for me then I'm not for you you know so I'm not judging you and your opinion your preference I have three so you know what I mean like I appreciate it but you she said period so it's like when the mic was in front of you you didn't say too too much but
like your face was speaking for you I didn't even know the Camera was on me oh yeah you know cuz the way you guys are very strategic and your the way you set it up so I thought the camera was focusing on them so I was just sitting on the side like I had no idea they had everything on there but that's just me in general but it was a little shocking like Brian came out like some people were saying in the comments like so wiing like and everybody I don't have any kids so and
and also I was thinking like I wish he Asked me some questions cuz I'mma get them but it didn't come back to the we didn't Circle back but okay and then just to go ahead and wrap up Brian's segment uh you are writing a book yes or you actually wrote a book already is it finished yes congratulations congrats perfect match the perfect match seven keys to popy balloon of f love you can find it on Amazon for a pre-order or you can find it on my website at PerfectMatch Book.com but what is seven keys what
do you mean seven keys to seven seven advices Seven Keys seven tips right um seven motivations you know to be able to pop your balloon like you did for me right or find love like you did for Reggie you see what I'm saying so that's pretty much what it is what are three what are the seven kids got to buy the book got buy the book got buy the book got one no spoiler alerts a book one you were on our very first uh our very first Podcast that me and BM did um and we

Brian writing a book about matches when he didn't even get one right and I saw that and I saw that right and I saw that but you know every shot you take you know you're not going to make right but at the same time there's there's there's humility in the journey right so I wrote the book so you can be able to um take a different route or take a different approach than what I did so you won't Get popped or or for you to get chosen right so just because just because I didn't get
a match it doesn't mean I'm not going to find a match right so my old lady somewhere might be somewhere else I don't know she might not be on the show she might be watching the show she might be waiting for me to come get her whoever she might be she might beas it might be you know I might be a passport broke right cuz our American our black American women tripping around Here I'm going keep it real y'all tripping y'all tripping you dig y'all tripping accountability don't have us go abroad and find somebody else

bad I got a little makeup on it and I pop my Mali because you came out a little aggressive you feel me I like femininity I'm not saying you not feminine but your demor maybe it's a liquor you feel me but no I I just don't Think I would like to be out on a nice dinner day or skydiving with somebody that wears pearls I don't like the pants I'm going to be honest I think that since you're light skinned you should have wore something a little bit more less Olive I thought she was G
say sage okay so Dorian let's let's start off with the first thing that's been going all around the internet the $300 dress yeah um if you know me I love cocktail Dresses um I love cocktail dresses U my favorite place to shop is House of CB o oali any UK brand um they're in a frenzy because I said the dress was $300 and they're getting it for $117.99 which is okay it's nothing wrong with that but yeah so yours was $300 from right okay I put it on Instagram it got like what almost 3 million
views now cuz they were so obsessed with the dress cuz I look good in it yeah and it's a beautiful dress beautiful dress it was just a lip Liner pencil drop imagine just dropping a lip liner on your dress like that just a d I didn't even see the thing exactly he was delusional that part okay and now there was a part um I think it was when you were talking to the second guy Rhino I mean Ryan sorry when you're talking to Ryan um and he started saying a St a statement about how you
had an unwelcoming demeanor and you said we all know why why you if you want to explain that So I'm not going to say too much I'm going to tiptoe around my words with that because I do have a nice job but if you look at Ryan's um YouTube you look at his pictures on his Instagram you look at his exes U Ryan just looks like he's he brings green bean casserole to the barbecue and that's exactly what I meant when I said that shout out to Ryan I seen your YouTube video I I seen
what you said about you you want to figure out where I'm from and how my parents are they're great people they raised me to stand up for myself that part okay okay so now um were you shocked that all the guys were like yeah we agree you came out aggressive no I wasn't shocked I was raised by men so I understand what they were saying I mean I'm for a certain type of person I'm for a certain type of man I feel like their reasons weren't as straightforward as they could have been been like I
thought it was a open Dialogue I wanted them to get in a little bit more of a detail why they didn't like me besides me being aggressive and assertive they really wanted to call me ghetto honestly ain't nothing wrong from being from the ghetto it's not it's like I really learned on social media just from you feel me so I really learned it's crazy how they just the way my my Cadence how they just automatically oh she's ghetto she's ratchet when you can you can do both you Can be both you can be corporate you
can be from the hood they they just didn't know how to handle me but we don't come from the same place and I respect them and I respect how they feel so I don't expect them type of men to understand me they're not my type so after you guys watched Dorian segment did I know that whole lineup of guys they were like yes when the last guy was like yeah I feel like you're coming off aggressive did any of you guys get that impression as Well no she was coming off aggressive being real man she
was being I think what I think what the ball dropped for her was when she was like I was in the back drunk like that right there you know and took it and ran with it I I gave them you guys are totally right I literally had two shots I I'm come on all my friends is we turned so I I you know I be teed a little bit but I I literally wasn't drunk I was nervous it was my first time on a big platform And it was a lot of different men so I
was nervous that was my best answer at the time I was not drunk y'all okay okay mhm that's good are you drunk now no I'm not drunk I should have brought a bottle of down Julio and got I had a I had the same amount of drinks today that I had on the show that day and I'm still disigned they was just scared a little bit yeah I kind of think they was too um I didn't I didn't really think that nothing you Said was wrong I think you you really Express Yourself well graci I
think they just want like I just think they like a light a like a you know a a more less of woman who who likes to speak more you know less or whatever you know what I mean and I know you're not that type you you very outspoken yeah when I I like a open dialogue with my man like I want to joke I want to laugh I want to really get the if we don't speak and we don't talk and I just got to be softspoken all the time then we'll never really get to
know each other when we're mad happy sad Rich broke like that that's childish to me so they weren't for me and I wasn't for them and then hopefully I'll find somebody that you know appreciate that M I thought that sh jarious did you want to I was just going to say I think it came across aggressive because your voice carries like it sounds like you yelling but you're not like you calm but Your voice carries does that make sense presence so is what it is I agree with he's saying strong presence um voice yelling is
crazy I think they just I think they just Pino I think they just said that because the way way I talk you know the way I act I'm very energetic I'm outgoing so I don't I mean that's your opinion you know but I don't think I was yelling I was talking in the same voice people say that you're yelling when you disagree with them and every And every and every Everything the guy said you disagree with them and you gave them another reason why you felt differently and they like gasing me for sure okay well
