00:00:00.000 Girl's trips, would you give up girl's trips?
00:00:02.180 100%.
00:00:02.780 Yes, but I love my girl's trips.
00:00:06.640 Actually, tonight when I go home, I'm going to ask that.
00:00:10.560 Is it like going on a holiday?
00:00:12.000 I'm going to ask him if there's one thing he wants me to give up on,
00:00:16.680 what would it be?
00:00:17.840 I don't know, I should ask him tonight.
00:00:19.440 I think you should.
00:00:20.200 Exactly.
00:00:21.640 What if he came back and said, now that you asked.
00:00:24.780 Yeah, I've been thinking this and this.
00:00:27.940 Oh, well, no, it's actually interesting.
00:00:32.920 You make me kind of like aware of what's going on.
00:00:35.260 What about plastic surgery?
00:00:36.200 Would you get plastic surgery for a guy?
00:00:38.260 If, like I did my boob job because after I had Neda,
00:00:42.340 I just lost the fat because I lost weight.
00:00:44.920 And I did it for myself because I hated it and I wanted to do it.
00:00:49.020 But if I had to do it because of him, no, not really.
00:00:56.040 No, I'm scared of plastic surgery.
00:00:57.940 I mean, I did this 10 years ago, but now I'm getting older.
00:01:00.740 I'm scared of that sort of thing.
00:01:02.720 Okay.
00:01:03.640 Did you say what you would give up for a guy?
00:01:06.220 You know what?
00:01:06.700 This actually, this conversation made me think when I was younger,
00:01:10.380 we actually, we women, we do that.
00:01:12.720 We do give up things.
00:01:13.840 We, why do we dress a certain way to, for men to look at us?
00:01:19.340 And I think, you know, I think there was times when I was too conscious of,
00:01:24.740 I want to be a certain way so I can get the attention from men.
00:01:28.580 But now that's not the case anymore.
00:01:31.520 That's why I can speak freely about this.
00:01:33.960 If I would get plastic surgery, no.
00:01:37.800 Giving up things like my social media, my career.
00:01:42.020 Yes.
00:01:44.700 But when it comes to, I don't know, this is, it's just.
00:01:48.840 Well, I think it's the age as well.
00:01:50.500 Because I know I'm thinking when it was about 20, 25,
00:01:53.600 and I had a boyfriend and I fell in love with him.
00:01:55.840 And to be honest, I would have done anything.
00:01:58.340 But not now.
00:01:59.780 Were you more in love then?
00:02:01.600 Probably.
00:02:02.700 Okay.
00:02:03.160 So, so it sounds like for the, like the right guy, you would give up more.
00:02:09.500 Yeah.
00:02:10.620 I mean, I don't know.
00:02:12.020 Is it the age or am I wrong?
00:02:14.080 Is it the age?
00:02:15.060 I don't know.
00:02:15.600 It's just the love.
00:02:16.600 It's got to be the right guy.
00:02:17.580 It can't be only the guy.
00:02:20.020 It should be your age as well.
00:02:21.680 Yeah, but I think for me it was the opposite.
00:02:23.180 It was, I don't know, maybe like I was raised by a feminist mom and he was like,
00:02:27.700 don't get married, don't have kids, go and do what you want.
00:02:30.500 I know.
00:02:31.960 No, but she's very happy.
00:02:32.940 She's got a granddaughter.
00:02:34.260 I'm the only one out of her four kids who's given her a grandchild.
00:02:37.520 Could it be because when you get older, when you get more experience and you get more confident,
00:02:42.360 you kind of feel like, why do I have to do that?
00:02:44.940 Maybe because, maybe because he don't love you that much.
00:02:47.380 If I did have that mindset.
00:02:48.540 I don't call it, I don't, I don't think it's love only.
00:02:51.740 No.
00:02:52.060 I don't think I should do something because I should do my boob job because I love him
00:02:56.260 and he wants me to do it.
00:02:57.200 I don't call it love.
00:02:58.300 If he would really, truly love me, he would love me the way I look.
00:03:02.800 Yeah.
00:03:03.420 I'm not going to lie.
00:03:04.140 I've got a second there still.
00:03:04.520 That wouldn't be my ideal man.
00:03:05.980 I've got a second there, you know.
00:03:07.160 Would not want me to have a...
00:03:08.420 I just don't like any of that stuff anyway, but so...
00:03:11.360 I think I call it, I'm more mature in terms of making decision rather than just because
00:03:19.140 someone...
00:03:19.460 Like a cougar.
00:03:19.760 Maybe I would have...
00:03:21.180 Like, I have...
00:03:22.360 Maybe I would have told him...
00:03:23.880 Wait, wait, wait, blessing.
00:03:25.360 I have to give a statement.
00:03:29.640 Okay, is King...
00:03:30.720 Is Michael here?
00:03:33.520 Can you see if he'll take the show for like, while I go do it?
00:03:36.620 I have to give a police statement, I guess, for the lady.
00:03:38.640 She called the police.
00:03:39.460 Oh, I'm so sorry, pal.
00:03:41.680 Serious?
00:03:42.300 Yeah, but...
00:03:43.380 Guys, we're going to get King Richie's to take over the show.
00:03:47.060 Yes, King.
00:03:47.560 Um, it's ridiculous.
00:03:50.800 Seriously?
00:03:51.440 Did she call the police?
00:03:52.140 Yeah, I guess.
00:03:53.300 She couldn't just...
00:03:53.760 A lot of mercy.
00:03:55.480 Are you sure it's not a crackhead in a police outfit?
00:03:57.560 No.
00:04:01.240 Ah, what's going on?
00:04:02.520 What's going on?
00:04:03.720 I was right when I told her, calm down, when she spoke to me in a certain time.
00:04:06.940 I saw her and it was getting a bit spicy.
00:04:09.460 She was drunk already.
00:04:10.020 I've got to say.
00:04:10.760 She came here drunk.
00:04:11.640 Not from my side, I just said, calm down.
00:04:13.480 And she went...
00:04:14.180 No, no, I'm just saying, but the environment was just real spicy.
00:04:16.720 Don't you tell me like that, don't you?
00:04:17.580 Well, she just...
00:04:19.920 Yeah, she went off, man.
00:04:20.780 And then she was trying to say that I said that domestic abuse was okay.
00:04:24.460 I didn't even say anything.
00:04:25.360 I don't know where she got these ideas.
00:04:28.000 I think she was late on.
00:04:29.340 It's in my head.
00:04:30.760 She was saying a lot of crazy things.
00:04:32.320 And going off on random tangents as well.
00:04:34.600 And just not even just listening.
00:04:35.880 So how tall are you?
00:04:36.960 I wanted to hear, before I go, I wanted to hear.
00:04:39.220 So you said you had a feminist mother.
00:04:41.020 When did you...
00:04:41.760 Because you seem actually pretty based.
00:04:43.300 Like, so I'm like, you don't scream like feminism to me.
00:04:47.980 No, because I rebelled against my mom, finally.
00:04:51.540 Well, yeah, I was born 1980.
00:04:55.320 So I grew up in the 90s.
00:04:57.220 And yeah, moving from Iran to Sweden, my mom was like, woohoo, freedom.
00:05:03.620 Do what you want.
00:05:05.000 Was your mom a single mother?
00:05:07.380 Yeah, they split up when I was 12.
00:05:09.160 She divorced my dad and had two jobs, two, three jobs.
00:05:12.720 And, you know, really tried to provide for us.
00:05:14.560 Really good mom.
00:05:15.300 Amazing.
00:05:15.740 I love her.
00:05:16.940 But she really...
00:05:18.300 I said to her, my only complaint was like, you raised me based on ideologies that you had.
00:05:22.780 You know, I never really got you.
00:05:25.400 It was more what you believed in about, you know, being a feminist, being an atheist.
00:05:29.660 And so, yeah, and I, yeah, I'm definitely not a feminist.
00:05:37.880 So I'm curious, do you feel, did your mom ever get remarried?
00:05:41.960 No, she was with someone for like 20 years, but not, she didn't get remarried.
00:05:46.260 Oh, okay.
00:05:46.840 So I was just wondering if she had a better outcome or not.
00:05:50.080 I've always wondered about that when, sorry, my goodness.
00:05:52.800 No, and that's not direct to you personally, but because I grew up single parent home, but
00:05:57.220 I've always wondered where they told her, they were out there working two, three jobs
00:06:01.420 as a single mother and then telling her daughter to go out and do the same.
00:06:04.800 I just, I don't understand how.
00:06:06.920 Okay, guys.
00:06:07.440 I just didn't get it, man.
00:06:08.540 Did not make sense.
00:06:08.980 I mean, I've worked two, three jobs before and it's not fun.
00:06:11.840 Guys, I have to go give a police statement, so.
00:06:14.800 Real mystery.
00:06:15.860 I have to go give a police statement, so I'm going to let you host for a second.
00:06:18.720 Oh, wow.
00:06:19.060 Okay, yeah, this is King Rich's, he's one of the most talented.
00:06:26.160 Hello.
00:06:28.920 He has a show, anyways.
00:06:31.820 We're talking about what would you give up for the right guy.
00:06:34.540 Oh, light work.
00:06:35.980 Okay.
00:06:36.160 Light work.
00:06:37.780 Okay.
00:06:40.400 Wow.
00:06:41.800 What's going on, people?
00:06:43.040 What are you saying?
00:06:43.660 I don't see you, all right?
00:06:44.440 So, where am I picking up?
00:06:47.280 Like, what was the current conversation?
00:06:49.800 What's she going to give up?
00:06:51.460 Mandana was saying about how her mother raised her based on ideologies and she never really
00:06:57.680 got her.
00:06:58.700 But then we was talking, this lady, right here, this young lady, was talking about her experiences
00:07:03.380 with her mother.
00:07:04.800 Being raised, yeah, as a feminist, so.
00:07:07.820 Oh, your mum was a feminist?
00:07:10.100 Yes.
00:07:10.740 And she tried to install that programming into you?
00:07:13.460 She did.
00:07:14.080 Did you accept it or reject it?
00:07:16.040 Well, I went along with it and growing up, like I was saying, I was, you know, born 1980
00:07:19.620 and then being a teenager in the 90s, Madonna and, you know, all of that.
00:07:24.040 She's a high material girl.
00:07:25.840 Yeah.
00:07:26.440 Vogue in the material world.
00:07:28.440 Yeah.
00:07:29.340 Yeah.
00:07:29.820 Went along with that.
00:07:31.300 And then, you know, someone mentioned Neo, independent woman, you know, the music kind of huge.
00:07:36.360 Yeah.
00:07:36.540 Carmen mentioned that had a huge impact.
00:07:38.460 And yeah, I thought that was the right way.
00:07:41.520 So I worked hard.
00:07:43.040 I mean, literally in my 20s, I worked like 78 hours a week.
00:07:47.240 I loved my job.
00:07:48.000 Absolutely loved it.
00:07:49.960 And then I did settle down with the guy, but I didn't get married because that wasn't a value.
00:07:55.940 Like my mum was like, don't worry about getting married.
00:07:58.160 I have kids.
00:07:58.660 Just live your life.
00:07:59.720 Maybe not like that.
00:08:00.700 So your mum was like, yeah, just go out there, get money and live your movie.
00:08:05.040 Yeah.
00:08:05.960 So like, how do you feel about that now?
00:08:07.860 Do you feel like she might have steered you in the wrong direction?
00:08:16.200 You can be real, man.
00:08:17.420 She's not here.
00:08:18.000 It's okay.
00:08:18.680 I know.
00:08:18.960 She might have seen it.
00:08:20.000 No, I love my mum.
00:08:21.520 And, you know, she's a...
00:08:23.100 You can love your mum, but your mum still can be wrong, you know?
00:08:25.640 Yeah, absolutely.
00:08:26.380 And I do tell her that every day.
00:08:28.340 Bless her.
00:08:29.200 If you had your time again, would you?
00:08:30.940 No, I would get married.
00:08:34.500 I would have gotten married.
00:08:36.300 But, yeah.
00:08:38.460 Stayed married?
00:08:39.460 And stayed married.
00:08:40.300 Would you have married after your daughter's husband?
00:08:41.700 I was with my daughter's dad for, what, 12 years.
00:08:45.940 Do you think he should have been your husband?
00:08:48.640 Do you know, like in the beginning, like when he mentioned marriage, I was like, oh, I don't
00:08:51.340 want to get married.
00:08:52.000 Forget that.
00:08:52.840 Oh, snap.
00:08:53.500 Yeah, and I never really understood like the value in getting married.
00:08:59.140 But I think like actually giving your word, giving your word that you are going to stick
00:09:03.700 with this person, I think that will make a bigger difference in actually making it work.
00:09:09.840 As many of you know, I was just banned on TikTok and we are demonetized on a daily basis on
00:09:16.640 this platform.
