This conversation was so rich, and I love that it was still so light-hearted. The best part is that you all made masculinity generous, protected, and still very sexy. I haven't heard men talk about fighting for relationships in this "Kevin Samuels" society. Omar's acknowledgement of his wife's being vulnerable on the road had covering on it. Duke is a different type of dude, which says so much about my IG BF, Chanel. "What, you need me to move some furniture? I'm very organized." The vulnerability was on high volume in this episode and it was very sexy and safe. Jalon took the cake, consistently holding space for those who might have needed space due to safety and naming the exception of violence. Outside of the aforementioned, "needing space is childish"...😐... (Face in the camera) Our community benefits from men like you, all. Thank you for doing your own work! Thank you for being committed to setting a better standard. Cheers to the kings, their queens and their empires.🥃🥃🥃 #thereishope
It would mean so much if you all could bring on Tony Gaskins. He’s been around for some time and would bring some valuable insight to the podcast. Great episode!
Duke hit it on the head with that story. Omar always speaks from that space and has which is part of what drew me to the podcast, being transparent as a black man living a healthy lifestyle is rare to see online. We need more podcasts like this. Life is a sport and we need the right coaches, players, & environment to cultivate the right mentality, skills, & ethics to feel success not just look successful.
I remember recently I was mad at my guy for something while he was at work. I let him know we needed to talk so he didn’t feel bombarded once he got home. Long story short we were able to talk it out in a respectful manner because we are both hell bent on not going to bed upset with one another.
I used to say “I need space” a lot I knew it was because I didn’t wanna face the problem, I didn’t wanna pour my energy and fight… this episode spoke to me, I’m glad I’m in a better space now…. #myfavoritepodcast 🥃🥃🥃
healthy space is fine. I need space generally to clear my mind or get my thoughts together. Like chill outside and get some fresh air or go make a store run. Another great episode.
Jalon always tells people they be wrong 😂😂 accountability is always needed. They all made a great point about “doing men shit”. I have been watching from the beginning and you can see the maturity which I’m very happy to see growth. We have seen so many podcasts fall apart so to be present today and see this I share my gratitude to have representation like you guys be so consistent in modeling what growth looks like authentically.
Space can just mean time to be on your own, with limited contact, to sort through thoughts and feelings to help determine how, or if, to continue forward. It can be hard to do that when you're constantly around the other person. It doesn't have to mean that it's a (soft) breakup that allows for each person to see others. In fact, that would be one stipulation I'd set in taking the space. I'd be clear that this isn't for that, and that's not allowed. If either partner wants to take that time to do that, then the relationship is over and it just needs to be a clean break, in my opinion.
I had a thought🧠 I think that we are sometimes so desperate to fit into each others lives. Like oh duke goes to the gym? Lemme workout with him. Why? Why not let that be his space and you go by yourself. I think it stems from attachment and lack of contentment with yourself. If we force our way into those situations it almost puts pressure where pressure shouldn’t be applied. Then it can create room for needing space. If you get what I’m sayin lol drop a glass🥃
I asked for space, because she was smothering me and I told her that. Even asked her if she had her own set of friends just cause I feel you shouldn’t need to be around me that much
I think creating intentional space (day here and there/weekend away) is a way to keep the relationship alive vs. in a rut, especially since men get bored easily. But to me, if a man says I need space, it's over, he isn't in love/he isn't coming back.
Great job you guys. Love how secure Duke is that even when he’s being low key clowned he lets it roll off while knowing true intentions. Let that marinate. Love this episode
Yeah, D Wade & Gabby has a “space” baby and she still stayed in the relationship and was looked upon like she was foolish for staying afterwards. Space ~ gives a man excuse to hit the sheets with others for those who are not duly invested. Personally, I would t want to be with anyone if we had to take space apart because I don’t want o handle what could have possibly happened when the space occurred.
My girl(NOT girlfriend) recently hit me with this as an excuse once she got out the shower. It was completely out of the blue and to make matters worse she had started packing quicker than she could ever get dressed. News hit me like a 18 wheeler tbh

Duke said it best! You as the man can’t create the space (wanting the relationship) and then turn around and say you need space! 👌🏾
“This ain’t Texas” is exactly what I sang when I saw the outfits 😂🤭

Thank you thank you! 🥃🥃🥃
If my man tells me he needs space , in my mind we don’t go together anymore.
🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
& that’s on period.

So many men aren’t man enough to say they just don’t want to do it anymore, hate that for them

I really appreciate this conversation. Everything was spot on and necessary. Thank you for sharing your insight and perspective from your experience.
I asked for space, because she was smothering me and I told her that. Even asked her if she had her own set of friends just cause I feel you shouldn’t need to be around me that much

Love these conversations amongst men... I support this level of awareness and communication in relationships 💯🎯

Great job you guys. Love how secure Duke is that even when he’s being low key clowned he lets it roll off while knowing true intentions. Let that marinate. Love this episode
I’m always sharing this podcast to everyone like a proud family member.
This whole episode is giving 😍
Thank you!!! 🥃🥃🥃
lol Duke must've heard Beyonce new songs and got inspired
😂😂😂 he was 1st in the camera too
20:38 I need some space is also code worded with “I just got a lot goin on right now” 😫🤣 that’s used the same way lol
I appreciate this convo. Definitely taking micro space to be able to show up fully in my relationship is essential.
It depends?? BUT every relationship Needs Space to Breathe.........🙏
my fav podcast
🥃🥃🥃
Y’all dropped a lot of gems w/ this one
🥃🥃🥃
Great Episode Fellas. Light In Tone, Strong In Delivery, Efficient In Volume…

My girl(NOT girlfriend) recently hit me with this as an excuse once she got out the shower. It was completely out of the blue and to make matters worse she had started packing quicker than she could ever get dressed.
News hit me like a 18 wheeler tbh
I mean look at the first word you said. My girl not girlfriend. Maybe she wanted you to be serious about her and her role. Or she didn’t like her role
