Speaker 1: 0:10

What's up y'all? It's your girl, dj Cornbread, aka the Empress. Y'all already know what time it is. Back with another one and y'all ain't gonna guess who. I got in the building today. Who in his bitch?

Speaker 2: 0:21

What's up with it, man? It's your boy HB, from the Diamond Ice Company, and I'm tapping in with with my girl, dj Cornbread, aka Empress. What's good man.

Speaker 1: 0:32

Already. Y'all know what it is. Y'all know what it is. Y'all know I had to get my boy on the show. Man, there's too much shit going on out here. We gotta talk about it. We gotta talk about it. Oh yes, so we got to get on these motherfucking. I done had so much going on and I'm learning HB that it is a lot of motherfucking transactional friendships out here. These hoes really exist.

Speaker 2: 0:54

Tell me about it. I know, trust me, I know.

Speaker 1: 0:58

Like this, I mean I'd have dealt with all kinds.

Speaker 2: 1:03

I'd have dealt with all kinds man.

Speaker 1: 1:05

Man, it's like transactional relationships. Some people be like what you mean? What's a transactional relationship, man? Transactional relationships are? It's kind of like a business contract disguised as a friendship. Basically, yep. But some of these motherfuckers out here be like they be on some a whole other shit, like they be on some real dry snake shit, and they know they ain't like it ain't no friendship, it ain't even just about. It ain't like no business contract. Y'all don't even have it's not even understood. Like why can't we have it understood that it's a business contract?

Speaker 2: 1:39

why you just try to do some shit and fuck me over right on the On the real, though, like some people, is only there for what they really want out of the situation and it's always come with some agreements with it.

Speaker 1: 1:54

Say it's a friend who always needs a ride or a favor, and when you ask for something, suddenly they're busy or some shit like that. It's just like, okay, well, I always do this for you, but when I need something done or I got you know, this little thing might not even be nothing big. Oh well, I can't do this or I can't do that. Every time, no matter what it is, it's always an issue on why they can't be a part of it. Help out with it. I don't give a fuck if it's just posting a text or something, or posting something on social media. It's our way. They suddenly feel busy.

Speaker 2: 2:28

Nah, for real.

Speaker 2: 2:30

And that shit really really igs me, so like I'm like Out of there with a situation like that, whatever. It's just a female I used to talk to whatever I don't know. I mean, she has got a lot of things going on, whatever, and I could tell from her standpoint she want to use me for a certain you know, certain vibe. You know she want to use me for the fun activity, whatever, which is cool. But you know it's like the way how she trying to have it set up and stuff like that, because she still have her baby daddy still living with her, or whatever. But you know, trying to use me for the fun activity, which, hey, I like to have fun too, so I don't have a problem with that. But it's just a point like when you already just coming at me just for that, for that, and it's like how can I explain it? Yeah, you know, I could fucking break at the moment. Right now, I'm fucking broke at the moment.

Speaker 1: 3:31

Nah, it's like some men they'll find that shit. They'll be like oh, yeah, shit. If I got a woman girl like that shit, they okay with that shit. Somebody that just only want me to be around to get some dick, get them some dick or get some, that'd be okay with that.

Speaker 2: 3:44

Yeah, I'm okay with it too. I think it's just a point that you know. It's kind of ooh my God, corbin.

Speaker 1: 3:57

Nah, sometimes you gotta leave motherfuckers where they at.

Speaker 2: 4:02

Yeah, it's real.

Speaker 1: 4:03

Nah, because, man, it's like, it's kind of hard. I feel like I don't even understand how you fall into a transactional friendship, because it's like you'll, it'll feel so real and you'll think, okay, yeah, this is a friend, this is a friend, this is a friend. But then when you sit back, you don't want to think that that's true. Like you will sit back and be like, okay, well, maybe this ain't this ain't, that ain't what it is, maybe this ain't what, that ain't what it is. But then shit will happen over and over and over again, and then you sitting there trying to sack yourself out, like, nah, that ain't what it is. But you know, these motherfuckers, this motherfucker is only really around to use you for what they can. Why they doing it? So you won't feel a certain type of way, and that's what books me up right man, I just feel like some folks they are I don't know some.

Speaker 1: 4:52

Some folks just aren't great at emotional intimacy, so it's like they they stick to practical exchanges and it's like I don't know. I just this I don't know if it's social media getting some motherfuckers where they just feel like they need to do certain. I don't know, I'm lost. I'm lost with this. When I heard them talking about that shit on the radio, I was just like did he know what's talking about it? I'm like, yeah, transactional friendships, that's exactly. They was like that's how the world is right now. Everything is transactional.

Speaker 2: 5:24

Yeah, sorry about that, somebody had called me.

Speaker 1: 5:29

No, I don't know. I don't think he called you. But what are what, would you say. What's the good, what are some good things about transactional friendships Like what do you?

Speaker 2: 5:38

I say this I say good things about transactional relationships. Is both of y'all got a common understanding of what the transaction is about? You know, if I'm sitting here like, say, like this, if I need a model or whatever, yeah.

Speaker 2: 5:52

And you know you might need some free pictures taken, you might need some promo done for you. Whatever, that's a good transaction because I can use you for a promotion, wise exchange, for whatever you need my services, for, whatever I can do for you to better your business as you better mine, something like that. I feel like that's a good transaction. Or whatever. Or friendship, whatever, because you know it keeps the business level. You know it keeps the business level, you know it matters we both get what we want out of the situation and not just one person taking more in on the spirit than this other person ain't getting nothing.

Speaker 1: 6:38

Hell. Yeah, that's when they feel like you feel all empty on one side, like okay, why the hell am I doing all this? Or why am I I, you know, kind of medical.

Speaker 2: 6:47

Nobody want to feel like they use. Nobody want to get used in a transactional relationship if it's just platonic or not. So you know you got to come with a common understanding. If we, if I'm talking to you and I know that you want something from me, whatever, okay, cool, what can you do for me? You know, and you see I'm a person that I got other little things going on, so it could be multiple things I might need you for. I might need you to act for me or something like that on the video or something like that.

Speaker 1: 7:17

So oh, that's just something that I thought she was talking about. You might say. He said I might need you more I.

Speaker 2: 7:27

I like that. If I like you in that type of way, yeah, but not even too much of that. I mean, don't get me wrong. I say this. I had females try to throw that at me to get some service done. Over the times I was being a producer making beats for my whole group A1 Stars, whatever. Yeah, I had some females that wanted to give me sex for beats and it was crazy. I didn't go for it. But that type of transactional does happen in the industry. People will fuck their way to get what they want. It's nothing new, it's normal. It's just that when that transactional is up, it's up. I understand both parties got what they want, got what you want, I got what I want.

Speaker 1: 8:14

So let me ask you this so when that happened, say you have a transaction relationship with somebody and then say they are just abruptly like they just the benefit, it just everything just disappears and they just end. Will you feel some type of way towards that motherfucker after that? If everything just stopped, if they just stopped acting the way like everything?

Speaker 2: 8:32

Oh, definitely you will. Yes, but you see, that's only if I didn't know what it was Like. If I didn't know it was a transactional relationship, then yeah, I'm going to feel some type of way because I was unaware. I was unaware what this person might do next. You know if they're going to start fucking with me or whatever. But if you know, I think you'll understand and it's like less pressure off of you or whatever, because you're not tripping. You already know what it was. Do it from the get-go, like okay, they got what they want, I got what I want.

Speaker 2: 9:08

Now it was unexpected. Like you know, you talk to somebody and y'all just met on a terms of nothing transactional and the vibes being cool, whatever, and then this motherfucker start peeping up, like start asking for things and stuff like that, and you start to see like a transactional relationship. Then that's when you got to, you know what I'm. You gotta get the antennas working a little bit and dive in to see what's going on, because you don't want to get played in the situation and your whole mind in a whole different space. Because, yeah, you might think, okay, this relationship won't be like this or really it's like this. This person only want this because they see you in this light. They see what you can bring to the table for them and better their life, whatever going on with them, and you're not even thinking that because you're sitting here. Oh, this is my friend with the wolf and all that stuff. Shit, man.

Speaker 1: 10:00

They're trying to get what they want, what they need, out of you and once they get it, man, that's like but that's the shit that pissed me off, though, because if you know that you don't be crying man, if you know, you ain't got no friendship. Our friendship ain't like that and it's transactional. Don't play with me. No, let me know, let it be known. Put that shit out there and you know and let you know. Oh, this is just. I don't fuck. I fuck with you, but I don't fuck with you like that. I'm not gonna get mad, I just know where we stand.

Speaker 1: 10:28

So when some shit, what need to, what we need to use each other for, or whatever type of shit, you don't, I just want to be, I just want. I need to know what the boundaries need to be clear. So no one, but don't nobody feel used or burned out. I just want to. I'd rather know. And then, instead of you, something happened. And then, all of a sudden, you catch a ghost. I thought we were friends, not knowing that this was a fucking transactional relationship. It was just like what I can get from the situation. I don't fuck with motherfuckers like that, but if that's what it's going to be, why you didn't say that shit from the beginning, instead of having me think you was a real ass friend?

Speaker 2: 11:00

Facts, facts, yeah, yeah, facts, because that shit is crazy man.

Speaker 1: 11:08

That shit is not what's up and it's hard to like recognize that shit too. So it's like sometimes you be you know it, but you don't like I said. It's like you be uh, it'd be darn, but you just don't be wanting to know that it's yeah, you gotta let that shit play out, though, you know, because you're gonna see the stars but how long is too long? How long? How long should you? How long it's too long to let a motherfucker transactally play your ass?

Speaker 2: 11:35

I feel like now we're at a time where things are speeding up real quick. It don't take that long to know that somebody uses you for something. You can just peep at the questions they ask you. You know what they be saying too. I say this One time I had a date, right, I met this girl.

Speaker 2: 11:54

She used to work at BT's the club at Fort Worth, whatever. She used to be a waitress, whatever. Now she was cute, she was cool, cute, whatever. She hit me up, she was like hey, we should go out, we should go out. I'm like all right, you know what I'm saying, we'll go out, whatever. Alright, this is my first time going to some crab place, some crab kings or something whatever. Yeah, I heard of it. Okay, I'll pull up. Right, she already there, whatever, you know what I'm saying. She already ordered whatever. She ordered me some water, whatever, but she didn't get the food. Tell me why. This motherfucker got the highest fucking meal on the fucking menu One pound Crabs, all that shit. Potatoes, all that shit. Like, come on, bro, I'm over here. This is the time where I was at my uh, changing my diet, whatever. So I had a salad. Changing my diet, whatever. So I had a salad. I had a chicken salad and she was like never something that's changed. It's more than whatever. Her shit was like 50 something.

Speaker 1: 12:59

Damn like she came in that bitch red and eat, and you know.

Speaker 2: 13:08

And the reason why I said you'll find out, because you'll find out. You know what the person say, because she was talking to me, right, she was like, yeah, you know, I'm living with my sister or whatever, and you know she ain't got no food in the house and all that. So I'm just eating, I'm listening to it, I'm like, okay, all right, and I'm starting to realize, okay, this girl is kind of like home, like she's gone through some shit or whatever, and the reason why she got this big bag of fucking food is because she ain't got no food in the house. So you know stuff like that. You'll see. It'll be a transactional relationship, because you already see it ahead of time. Like, okay, I see where this gonna go If I keep fucking with you, whatever, you just only gonna just trying to use me because you gonna do some shit, whatever. And you're not being fully honest in your situation. I mean you throwing little hits and throwing little clues over the place and I can pick it up and I'm like, okay, okay, so you go through this, whatever and same, while we outside right, we already done eating, we buy her car, whatever.

Speaker 2: 14:06

She got a bunch of stuff in the back seat and I see like a PS5 box. I said you got a PS5? She said where I ain't got a PS5. The box is right there. And I'm pointing at the back window. She turned around because she's right in front of the car. She turned around. She's like oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like this must not be your goddamn car and who ain't know, the damn PS5 in the back, like come on, it's a bunch of clothes back there and everything. So I'm like alright, you must be using somebody's car. You used me for the food I'd have fed your ass, to be honest. And this motherfucker talking about, yeah, we should do this again with the rules, Hell, no.

Speaker 1: 14:46

I'm not about to fucking call you.

Speaker 2: 14:49

Hell. No, you could buy a good bill out of me. I ain't going to last you for two days Like, nah, I'm cool. So hey, man, you'll catch it ahead of time. When it's transaction, you'll be like, ah, okay, because you're getting the highest meal on a menu the first time we go out. You know what I'm saying. Like I can get there for a special occasion, yeah, but if we, you know going out to know each other, don't go for the highest. You know what I mean. You like, why would you do that? And you think a dude gonna keep fucking with you. A dude already know how you moving, so it gonna be transactional. I should have been out there paying for the pussy. That's gonna be. It's this, god damn boy on me, on me. I should have been there paying for the pussy, god damn boy On me, on me man I'm talking about.

Speaker 1: 15:39

I don't know. Sometimes it's crazy and it's hard to. It's hard to have, especially if you done been hurt by friends before or somebody that called themselves a friend. But then it'll get to the point where even transactional relationships, friendships or whatever they'll feel like shit, will make you not even want to have neither or so sometimes it can be hard for me to have a friendship, a relationship, any of that, rather than transactional, this transactional that it's like. When you've been hurt and fucked over so many times it's like I don't even know who to call, who to say, oh yeah, we in a relationship, or it's a transactional relationship, friendship whatever, or if this is a transactional friendship, or even if it is a friendship, because I really and honestly don't know what you do or what you say behind closed doors, behind my back, when you're not around me. Sometimes it's hard to say because you can be thinking it's just one kind of relationship or friendship, but then when they get around other motherfuckers, they can be telling them something totally different.

Speaker 2: 16:40

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 16:42

You be thinking the whole time everything is 100 and this. But then they low-key, going back saying this or saying this the way they feel the other motherfuckers he be like damn. When they in your face they just like freeing this, freeing that, my nigga. This, this is my nigga. You know different types. It's just awesome. Yeah, yeah, I don't know that should be. That's why I don't know.

Speaker 2: 17:05

No, most definitely. I feel you, man. I feel like a lot of people need to get more better at their communication, because you know it's okay to have transactional relationships. I just think that people should express more what they want from each other. Yeah, you know, once you express, you know what you want from a person, I feel like the vibes could be more better and understandable, because you know we all need somebody for something. It is what it is. Whatever we got going on in our life, if we're doing content, whatever, you know you got somebody they want to. You know, ride on your cocktail, whatever you want to call it, whatever you know trying to get something from you, you can kind of use that person too. Depends on what it is. I feel like you know we all could have good transactional relationships depends on what it is, whatever.

Speaker 2: 17:50

And keep the scale balanced. Don't take more and you ain't giving nothing. You know don't take a benefit to somebody and you know you ain't got nothing to offer. You know you ain't got nothing to offer. Like, don't even try to take a benefit to anyone For real.

Speaker 1: 18:10

Yeah, because then you got some motherfuckers that they, they, they get emotional, like the connection, I don't know. Sometimes it be hard to have friendship because I get emotional too. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. That's why it's hard to have friends and call yourself being close to them or whatever, because it can be a transaction of friendship or relationship or whatever. But then when feelings get involved or some extra shit happens, then you like man, hold on. Now you start looking at shit. They do a little different.

Speaker 2: 18:43

If it's some good pussy, if it's some good pussy, feelings gonna get involved. Okay, niggas gonna be clocking where you at when you at. It might be transactional, but fuck it. They got me a little sprung, a little bit Shit. You calling your phone every other hour.

Speaker 1: 18:58

We like oh, this supposed to be a transactional friendship? Yeah, it is your ass. Better transactionally answer this motherfucking phone.

Speaker 2: 19:06

Look at her life for real. You living with your baby daddy I'm about to pull up. You living with your baby daddy I'm about to pull up. It's a transactional relationship. I'm paying bills too. For real, I'm helping pay bills too. I live over here too. In case you didn't know, motherfucker made transactions With everybody. Let me go ahead. Let me go ahead and spend the night and get something to eat. I'll be on my way. Yeah, really, pay some goddamn bills with this motherfucker too. Shit, you asking me for money to pay your bills? Hell yeah, you're transactional baby, all right.

Speaker 1: 19:46

So, would you say, a transactional friendship and a transactional relationship is the same thing?

Speaker 2: 19:51

Yeah, and the reason why I say it is because it's not a rare relationship if it's transactional, so it's still a friendship.

Speaker 1: 20:02

So you know how some people they'll put a person in a box and they'll be like so say, somebody was like you talk to her, or you go to ask me, you talk to him, or something like that, and they talking it can be anybody, but they ask you a question about somebody that you you know there's a transactional friend or whatever. You're like nah, nah, but we do this together, we do this together and they say another girl was trying to holler at you or whatever, but she felt some type of way about their relationship because y'all was around each other too much and that she felt like no, that can't be just no friendship. When you think that some females will think it's not just transactional if you around them and treat and doing shit like y'all in a relationship I don't know.

Speaker 1: 20:47

I mean yeah some people ain't gonna go for that shit.

Speaker 2: 20:53

No, I wouldn't either.

Speaker 1: 20:55

I wouldn't either I wouldn't, either. Some people don't know how to hold transactional relationships or friendships. Vice versa, they don't know how to hold it where it's supposed to be, so like it could be a transactional friendship, but then it turns into a relationship.

Speaker 2: 21:13

Yeah, yeah, especially the vibe is good, because sometimes you know some of them transactional relationships you're feeling like real relationships, yeah, you know, especially if y'all got a good vibe. You know, I think that's the thing about it Because you know I had to stop certain things, certain people I was dealing with, because it was kind of transactional with me, like I don't really want to sex on this person. But I also liked the conversation we had, like the vibe we connected with whatever. So you know me being a gentleman, whatever, I said, man, okay, I like our vibe, I like our connection with the top whatever.

Speaker 2: 21:56

I used to be in the mindset of just only do something for sex, but it's like I don't even want to do that, no more, because I like our friendship more. So I had to tell her like hey, man, I think we should just keep it on this level. You know she kind of got mad a little bit because she wanted to keep having sex with me and whatever. But I didn't want to fuck it up because it was transnational at first but I actually liked the depression vibe, whatever. So I feel like this man, some transnational relationships can get better, but it all depends on who the person is. It all depends on who the person is because it might start off transactional. It could be a good friendship or a good relationship because you can meet somebody in business, right, say, like the opposite sex, you meet a man, whatever, and you know it's transactional, whatever Y'all doing business or whatever, but sooner or later y'all start to have you to have conversations. Some of y'all conversations be relatable, like a motherfucker, be very relatable, you know, and it can turn into a good relationship from a transactional friendship. So I say it all depends on who you talking to, where their mind is at what they wanting, like you know, some people just want to just use people and get to the top. Some people just want to build, like really build something and make it sustainable. So if it's like Phillip, when people want to have people, you know grounded in what you're building, so you find a woman that's you know, grounded in what you're building. So you find a woman that's you know what I'm saying, all her shit, doing this, doing that, doing this.

Speaker 2: 23:37

But y'all met in a transactional situation. Whatever you're going to be talking to yourself like man I kind of like her a little bit. She's going to have a snit, so it's not bad with transact transaction relationships. Some people are making it bad because people don't have good communication skills. So they might sit there and say some dumb shit or blurt out I'm going to use what it is, I'm going to, ah, and you ain't let it be known from the get-go. Yeah, yeah, you know. So, hey man. Get going to be. Yeah, yeah, you know. So, hey man. It's not always bad. It can be bad if all parties is not aware.

Speaker 1: 24:19

If all parties is not aware, it could be bad. So like say, when you're in a relationship with somebody and then you say that they, you don't feel like they on the same page of same shit. You on, but you say you have kids and they don't have kids, but they don't work. But you work and say you don't want to pay for child care, but they watch your kids, but y'all in a relationship but you don't the. Everything else, far as the sex and all that other stuff, it's not there, like the feeling, the intimacy, none of that is there. But y'all in a relationship. But you know that if you lead that person and stop fucking with them because they doing fucked up shit, then you're going to have to go pay for child care, get somebody to watch your kids, have an issue with this and that if the kids start school, so shit like that.

Speaker 2: 25:10

I'm sorry, man, that sounded like hell to me.

Speaker 1: 25:13

That's a transactional relationship like a motherfucker.

Speaker 2: 25:17

It is Fact, you said because the person's not on child support. So that is good, that is good. It's like God damn, I don't know, man, everybody's situation is different so I really can't put too much in it. It might fit well for that person, that couple, whatever got going on. You know, maybe that person feel like shit. I'm just trying to get back on my feet, you know. So you're not digging in my pockets with the company transport, so maybe that's a good thing In their mind. Everybody feel like fuck it, I watch the child, whatever, don't drain my money like that. You can't get back to my feet. So I say, you know, it all depends on man. Some people might look at it different. Some people not going to be dealing with all that extra stuff.

Speaker 1: 26:03

Man, some of these motherfuckers be in relationships and they really don't want to be in a relationship. They be in a relationship. They be in a relationship with some of these motherfuckers just because of what they can do for their kids.

Speaker 2: 26:12

Oh yeah, paying bills, all that stuff, transactional relationships, everything like for real man, that shit crazy. Everybody talking about dating with nobody and all that stuff Like nah, but wanting to pull up at certain times and stuff like that because of the baby mama, the baby daddy there, and all that man ain't nobody got time for that. Handle your situation. Man, grow up and handle your situation. You got somebody at the house. Y'all need to work on that, because if y'all not going to be together, somebody need to move the fuck out. All right, somebody need to move the fuck out.

Speaker 2: 26:50

That shit transactional. I don't give a fuck if you talking about we got kids together. Man, that shit transactional. That shit was been transactional. Y'all was fucking the goddamn Lucas, y'all, damn the goddamn wedlock. You know what I'm saying? Motherfucker don't want to live by themselves, paying all the bills by themselves.

Speaker 1: 27:08

Yeah, paying all the bills by themselves. So they go through that shit just because they know it's going to help them out. Well, if I leave this person, then damn, I got to worry about this child, or I got to worry about this happening and getting this. Then I ain't going to have no transportation. Then if, damn, I'm going to have to stay with this motherfucker Transactional relationship.

Speaker 1: 27:27

Right, right, that's what it is. That's crazy. That's crazy. That is crazy. Motherfuckers, be out here, that's what. So I guess that that's that's real shit then.

Speaker 1: 27:36

So I guess the majority of these days, this age, everything is fucking transactional then, and rather, if it's a relationship or a friendship. But I, like I said, the bottom line is, whatever we're doing, I just rather know I'm a, I'm the type of person that I don't don't surprise me when I don't need to be surprised, like it ain't my birthday, like don't be doing no whole shit. I don't want to be surprised if this is all we, you around me, for that we only gonna be doing strictly business. I don't really fuck with you like that. A couple you like that district would be, say that I respect you more and I won't be pissed off if you do some whole shit, because I'd be like, ah, that was a transactional ass friendship anyway. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. Damn, but shit Y'all. We about to get up out of here Another good EP Talking about these motherfucking transactional relationships and transactional friendships with my. We gotta do a part two.
