All right. It's about that time. Yo, Wiz, bring it down, baby. Hey, man, y'all give it up for my DJ one time, man. Hey, yo, give it up for yourself, though, Wiz. Go ahead, put on that hand. Come on now. AKA DJ, I am somebody. Okay. All right now. Yo, you had an excellent show today, man. You know, I am in love with these girls right here that's on the show today. You know, I had said to myself that I wasn't going to bring them on until I came correct. And if I ever won the lottery, now, I'd have to make sure they was in my top 20 of women that I would have inside of my life to be in a relationship with because they qualify. Do you hear me? Because you can't eat just one. They got one of the most poppiness podcasts inside the world. I watched every episode from one to done. They are intelligent. They are creative. They are provocative. They are thought provoking.  There's so... What's the word I'm looking for? Convincing. You know, because it takes a lot for me to be able to come out in my pocket.  Without further ado, Kiki, are you with me and funky cold Medina? The Cocktails Podcast. Man, give it up for them one more time, man. They are in the house. Introduction. Yeah, lots of them. I'm working on my intro thing and whatnot, man. You know, some of the people that I think really do it well, Sway. He does it well. Nick Cannon. Oh, he's amazing. Is somebody else who does it well? Who else does amazing intros? Oprah does amazing introductions. She does. Yeah. When she's doing live interviews, she's pretty cool with it. She definitely, definitely does.  I need to know more about this top 20 females that you want to have on your list, because what are the qualifications? I was hoping that you were going to ask me that. And how much money are you having with 20 women? I was hoping you were going to ask me that. Yeah. Yeah. Minimum. Mm-hmm. Minimum was a hundred million. OK. OK. That's minimum. Mm-hmm. A maximum was five hundred. You know, I, because I definitely want to impregnate all of y'all. Oh, OK. Now, we might have to take me off the list.   I'm positive. That's going to happen. We're going to, we're going to bring you back. When you, we're going to bring you back when you talk about that baby bump. And see what it's going to be. Excuse me. I'm sorry about that. That's your baby. That's your baby girl, baby. That's number one. Hey, y'all check the dough. Y'all check the dough. Yes, but I think somebody might be at the door. Um, yeah, um, yeah, I would say about like, you know, maybe 500, just maximum and whatnot. Why is there a cap? Why is it we're going to be trying to really get your money? Nah, I'm putting myself in Nick Cannon place because I like what he's doing right now. Do you? I love it. I tell him all the time. I tell him all the time when we don't set you wild and out. And what now? I was like, bro, if I had it like that, I'd be doing the same goddamn thing. Keep going. That just. Why do you like it? Keep going. Go, Nick. Go, Nick. Stop, Nick. Stop, Nick. Stop, Nick. Stop, Nick. It's your birthday. Hey, it's your birthday because you got it. You got it like that. It's somebody's birthday and the Cannon crew. Well, let me ask you this, because y'all, you, you. OK, you don't, y'all don't like it. No, no. I mean, I wouldn't want that for me. You don't want it for you. For me. But if the girls and him and everybody involved is cool, then it's cool. They cool? I don't know. You got to do what you got to do. You have to live your life for yourself. Yeah. But I couldn't be in that life. I don't know if I like it or not. I think about the babies and it's like, how are you about to raise all these children? Yeah, you got the money, but you do not have that much time. There's only one of you. So somebody's little baby gonna be not seeing him enough. OK, let's take a deep dive with Medina and Kiki real quick. So how much is y'all dad is in y'all life right now? My dad is fully present in my life. Fully present? Yes. And how many kids he got outside of you? He has four? Outside of you? Outside of me. Outside of you? And you feel? Four. Definitely. Like he's been there 100%. You don't even notice the difference. For me, no. My dad is still in my life. He's out. It was different. There was different time periods. There's a huge gap in between the ages. So his oldest son is probably almost 50. So there's a huge gap in between. So when he was raising us, I didn't see a difference, but I'm sure they did. OK, all right. Somebody's gonna get the short end of the stick. That's what I'm saying. But are you the youngest? I'm the youngest. You're the youngest. So you got the long end of the stick. Yes. OK, and then you feel like it was good for you. So you really shouldn't have any judgment on this. I shouldn't, but I got to because we talking on a podcast. Because you know what?  Because I'm hearing some things that we were talking about off camera where you were saying, it's a hotel. Make sure you tell my boyfriend that he need to do this and he need to do that. You have an entitlement thing going on. You had said something else. Are you a therapist? Yeah, 100%. 100%. But wanting a kid to have time with their daddy, that's not entitlement. That should be like standard. Well, I ain't never had time with my daddy. And I'm, I feel great. I'm cool with that. I didn't have a lot of time with my dad.  And you turned out amazing. Yeah, but I wouldn't want that. You wouldn't want that. How do you feel like it's affected you? A dad, just not my actual dad. So since I did have somebody there, I think it helped. And it's nice to have that love. Okay, let me ask this. And I just wouldn't want, if I could avoid it, I wouldn't want to give my kid the short end of the stick. Let me ask you this. I ain't trying to handle kids. The dad that you have, that's not actually your biological father. How is he with you? Great. He's amazing. We're still close to this day. Now imagine your daddy was all the way in your life. Now you will be taking this guy for granted. I don't think so. I mean, it's not that my dad, we just didn't spend a lot of time together because we didn't live in the same place. But I don't think I would take him for granted. I would just be like, oh, I got two of them. The more the merrier. So do you feel like the reason why your dad wasn't all the way there is, it's only because you guys stayed in different places? No, he probably just didn't know what to do with kids.  I can't do these things. Some people, honestly, they're just not kid people. Yeah. You might not want to hang out with a little five-year-old girl all the time, but you can call me and check on me and send me to your family and we spend time with them. So at least you know my people and I'm gonna see you, but yeah. Nick does. He actually makes efforts to go see all of these kids.  Santa Claus is not real. Yay. Ooh. Everybody. Adults. I want whatever you want. I feel sorry for you. Yeah, what's in that cup? I feel sorry for you. As a matter of fact, give them some what's inside this cup. Yo, Chrissy, can you hook them up? I also think talking about the Nick Cannon thing, I think it's really important for people to think about, when you have a child with somebody, that's like their first form of a relationship.  That's like your first love really. And so if there are things that are lacking or that are missing, that is going to affect a child as they get into their adult life and in their romantic relationships when they get into them. It is, like you can't escape that. That's something that I've learned as I'm growing and learning about like things that happen in my childhood that come up in my relationship. And so I think it's important for people, like yeah, he comes and he'll see them, but you're not living with them. And there's some positives and there's some negatives. And so it's like, how are they gonna be affected when they start dating? They're gonna be monsters for somebody. I'm just playing, but they could be. One of them is going to. Maybe three of them. It sounds like you're projecting with this. No, I'm just an outsider looking in. Nothing's perfect. Even if you, like Kiki said, even if you have your parents and both of your parents in your life, it doesn't mean you're gonna turn out to be this amazing adult. You're gonna have some issues, whether you have them or not. But I think that the goal here is to know your parents. And I think as a parent, you should just always want to give your kid the absolute best chance, whatever you can do to do that. So not that he's not gonna try that with the circumstances that are, because even if he had 10, 11, how many kids does he have right now? 20? I don't know. If they were, if he had them with one person and they're all in a home together, that's too many goddamn kids in this day and age. You don't have a farm. So there's no reason to have, I mean, I don't think that's a lot of kids. Somebody's gonna get it. Cause I don't even tell my mama. She has four kids. And I'm like, sometimes can we just hang out? She's still at our big grown ages. Wants everybody to be together. You be wanting that one-on-one time. Like maybe I need to vent about one of these people in the backseat and you keep inviting them. Or somebody's not 21 yet. I wanted to go get drunk, all of us that are actually grown. I understand that. I totally get that. I mean, it's just, but what about, what about mom? What about what she won't? I think the mamas want money. And that's okay. I'm not here to judge you. I think the mamas are in it for money if you had a choice. Mama's won't convince. They won't convince stability, security, and whatnot. And why not go for a simpler life? You know, and if Nick is offering it, yo, it makes too much sense to be in it. At what point are you thinking about babies? Like, I don't like the betterment of your children. And I think that's what's happening around. Everybody's so concerned about money. I'm not saying that it's not important because it is. It's rent high. Yeah, rent is high. Y'all talk about it all the time. Y'all talk about money on your podcast all the time. Yeah, we do. I love money. I love money too, but I think people get so focused on that and act like that's the only thing that's important and you're forgetting. Yeah, your kids are gonna have this great upbringing. As far as money, they probably won't have to stress about going to school. They probably won't have to get nine to five. Like, they're gonna be okay financial-wise. But are we talking about other things that are important also? Like what? Emotions. Their character, being able to support them in different hobbies. You can pay for emotions. You can pay for character. That's crazy that you said that out loud. I said it out loud. You definitely can. Do you have a girlfriend or a wife? No, no, I had a wife one time. Okay. What happened? Yeah, what happened? I got a trick and a treat. Yeah, we had divorced on Halloween. Right. Y'all get me. I don't know, Valentine's Day. I think that they're just more important things than money. And again, I'm not saying that's not important, but it is important to just know how someone's gonna treat you and make sure that you're valuing those things as well. Like it's not just like they're gonna have all this money so they're good. No. Now I will say this. I was just sitting here thinking about it cause I had a flashback to seeing the brat talking about her. That's true about my baby daddy. Yeah, but the whole, like you had to go to a sperm donor and get somebody. So if I was still a single woman and I got hit in the head and decided I do want kids now but I didn't have anybody to have those kids with and Nick was like, I want another one. Now that I would do because that's gonna be a cheaper route. And I'm like, yeah, that would be better if I was already gonna be a single mom. And listen, they don't even want the baby daddy in life. They got a straight up sperm donor. They raising the kid themselves. Can they date other people? Sit again. Can they date other people? Yeah, if they want to, yeah. They have a relationship like that. Do your thing. I think everybody should do what they wanna do, but it works for them. Yeah, and that's fine. It just would work for us. I need too much attention. I know I would have an attitude. I can tell, I get entitlement all day for it. Entitlement or attention seeker. Entitlement.  I am honored that you think it's about me. I'll take it. Yeah, it ain't nothing wrong with that. It's nothing wrong with that at all. Kiki, do you share the same sentiment? About what? You have to be all about me? No. No? So you can definitely be in a polyamorous polyamory. Now whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down. Slow down. Too much chip on my dick? Yeah, too the horn, yeah. A poly relationship, no. But too much attention, it annoys me. I start breaking out in hives. I need a little bit of space sometimes. I like attention. I need some space. Maybe more than the average person. Your presence might just start pissing me off and then it's like I got an attitude and it's like why do I have an attitude? I can't say because you're breathing in my face but that's really what it is. So I like a little bit more space. So... Live next door to me more space or have a room. We can stay in the same house but we, I couldn't imagine living in an apartment with another person unless it was like a huge apartment. Like we need at least 3,000 square feet. If it's an apartment. I need you to be able to go far away. Now if it's a house I can handle as we can go outside or something, you know it's more space but go to your man cave or whatever you got and leave me alone, get out of the kitchen. Food's not ready yet. Give me some space.  Yeah, I just, I'm already getting irritated thinking about it. Let me sip my drink.  You don't have nothing to do? That's how I be feeling. And you the opposite of that Modena, right? Like yeah, I am.  Yeah, you're loving each other's skin. Yeah, where are you going? Where are you at? Let me know you get there. I love you. I love you too. Give me the biggest misconceptions about you all. I think the biggest misconception about me is that the clips that go viral where I'm always talking about like something crazy with sex or booty holes. I love those clips by the way. I love them too, but there's so many people that get so angry about it. And it's like you need to keep some stuff to yourself. And I'm like I do keep a lot to myself, but I'm also, I think if there's a humorous story that can be shared, I'm sharing it. I don't really get embarrassed. I love all of your booty hole stories. I agree. I agree a lot about your booty hole stories. I just hope my mama don't be seeing the booty hole story clip. Your mama got booty hole stories. They're probably floating around on Facebook. 100% yes. You gotta get it from your mama. My mother is very prude. So I might. Around you.  No, my mother is very, even when my dad talks about it. It's like even her siblings almost has a twin sister and her twin sister is the wild one. Very wild. And my mom was like. What's wild? What's wild to your mom?  Like stay up late. She's just like, why are y'all staying up till late, it's time to go to bed? Like she's very prude.   Like she is a very prude woman and. I envy you. You do? You got a wild mama? My mama did not talk like that. Yes, it was completely different. Mine too. My mama cussed. Yes, she was very vulgar, very traumatic. Conversation, all of that. My mama doesn't say cuss words. And I even like go back into her past, ask her siblings, ask old friends, like what was she like?  She didn't drink, she didn't smoke, she didn't, she wasn't having a lot of sex. I'm like, I don't, where did I get it from? My dad, I don't know, many of your dad. Had to come from my daddy. Had to. Wow. Here's to him. Wow. Cause he made a real one. How about your mom, Kiki? Well, this apple didn't fall too far from the tree. My mom has lived a good life and she has shared some wild stories. We did an episode in 2020, it was virtual, but we did a episode together, my mom. And so she's at home. We're on the thing on Zoom doing the interviews 2020 style. How candid was this? It was too candid. And then I put my drink down and she kept like putting the bottle of rum that she was drinking in the camera, telling everybody to get it. Then she hopped up out of her seat, went to the closet, pulled out a carry on. I'm like, why are you showing me your luggage?  And then the next day she called me like, oh my God, I can't believe that. I said, don't worry, I'm gonna cut that part and put it on Patreon. But we keep in this episode, it was golden. It was wild. It was. And so my mom, she cusses and she'll cuss anybody out any day, it doesn't matter. She still does. And she said that she was really wild cause her parents were strict when she was younger. So she wasn't super strict with us cause she said, I see what happens here. But she's a lot more fun. She keeps up with the time. She thinks she's young sometimes. Not inappropriately young, but young.   I don't have a little freedom. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Cause we know how we was when we were younger, you know? Were you bad? I have a feeling you were bad. It depends on what you think bad was, you know? Disobeying whatever rules were given to you. Nah, I wasn't really like that. I was like, for instance, my aspirations was always, I always wanted to be a star. Were you a class clown? Always, yes. I was a class clown to the point where my brother wasn't, I didn't know my brother was a class clown until I dropped out of school and he ended up getting voted class clown. Oh, but you were the one. He was living my life. Oh, to pass the tort. That's how much of a class clown I was.  Who are you, nigga? I used to like the class clowns in high school. Me too. I can tell, that seemed like y'all make up. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, that definitely seemed like y'all make up. Yeah, so we all, what y'all, where y'all y'all from? So we actually met in high school in Texas. Originally, I'm from Louisiana and then I moved to Texas later. I was born in North Carolina, but I'm from Texas because that's where I was raised and went to all the schools, elementary, junior high, high school, so I'm from Texas. Arlington, Texas, to be exact. Arlington. At count. Okay. I can imagine that. You with a cowboy hat on. I love a good cowboy hat. All right, horses. You do all that. I do all that. That's my favorite thing to do. I didn't get a cowboy hat until last year when we did that photo shoot. I don't think I've ever had one. Really? Yeah, the cowgirl stuff was never really my thing. But my mama loves it. She goes to the rodeos now, talking about how fine the men are. They do be fine. I love a black cowboy.  I haven't. No? No, because they just be too far. They be in the country. I'm not coming out here every, they don't want to get dressed. I would imagine they smell like outside. Yeah, because they be working hard. But they got nice bodies. That makes sense. I can see how that could throw you off a little bit. Yeah. Okay, so you're meeting in high school and how do you know that you want to work together? That came later, because we were friends. And it took a long time. I didn't come here. She moved here for college. I went to D.C. I came back later. And so when I went to school out there, I went to school for radio. So... With aspirations to be who? I wanted to be a personality. I wanted to do radio and TV. And so when I moved here, I was trying to continue down that path. And it just wasn't, it wasn't working out like I wanted to. And then I started seeing how much people were getting paid. And then I was like, ooh, nothing has changed. Like, God damn. So, and then I also felt like people weren't giving me opportunities and I wanted it. So I've always been like, if somebody's not giving you an opportunity, make one. And so that's what I did. And so I tried a whole bunch of different ideas. And then this is the one that stuck. And then played around with different people doing it with. And then when Medina moved back, because she went back to Texas and some other places, when she moved back to Atlanta, I was like, will you please do the show? And we had, at that point, I had another co-host. I was like, she probably not gonna last. Just come on. And when she was gone, that was it. Because Kiki and I, we were in school. We would always call each other in college and like share stories with each other. Like sex stories. I remember when I was leaving. Even in high school. Even in high school. Like, but when I was leaving to go to Clark Atlanta, my last day. I knew you went to Clark. Yeah. Everybody moves to Atlanta to go to Clark. Yeah, DJ Wiz went to Clark. Okay. Yeah, he went to Clark. So I remember my brother and my mom, they sat me down in the food court of the mall. At the parks mall. And they were like, we just wanna have like a responsible conversation with you. I'm your big brother, this is mom.  I was not expecting this conversation. It was me, my brother and my mom. And they were like, we just want you to be aware of STDs. We want you to make sure you're protecting yourself. We want you to just make- What year is this? This had to be the end of our show then. Yeah, why are you trying to do all this math? Oh yeah, what? Oh, I was trying to see if this was AIDS Atlanta. Oh. Like, yeah. It was like 07, the end of 07. Got you. What was AIDS Atlanta?  I didn't do that. Do I look old? I thought I put my pants on wrong. We're not getting both of them. I don't listen. I'm not listening. I don't know how old y'all is because I'm just going by y'all conversation. Oh, okay. Like, sometimes you guys, conversation, you could be anywhere from 24 to 37. I'll take a good 28. Okay. That's my fake age. Yeah, and I hope that's what you're talking about. That was flattering and everything. But yeah, it's just the way you, you're very mature. Thank you. I'll take that. It feels so great hearing all these compliments. After we read the comments, we're always like, dang, I need to take a week off of social media. Well, I mean, that's what you was expecting though, right? I wasn't sure. I didn't know what, I mean, you've always been nice. So I was hoping, but I didn't know we would have such a flood of compliments. I love it here. Yeah, I'm a nice guy. What's your gentleman? Do you open doors for women? Like all the doors? Say it again, man. Do you open doors for women? No, I get Chrissy to do that. I got glaucoma. Oh. Yeah, Chrissy opened the door for us. As a matter of fact, Chrissy, can I get another drink? You say, I got glaucoma. No, I'm gonna do that. Okay. You get help, man, with my attractive friend, Chrissy. Yeah. Do you drive? No. Okay. I get driven. I'm gonna catch a ride. You know what? I want to be driven around a lot. I don't like to drive. You can. You can. You in a relationship, right? No. You're not. So you're single. No, who said that? I thought that's what, okay. I thought her story was your story, too. No. Mm-mm. We got two. Oh, you don't wanna be in a relationship. I did not say that either. I'm open. My options are open. I'm not in a relationship. You haven't found what you were, you okay? Right. Now, sometimes I do feel like, ooh, do I really want a relationship? Cause all the stuff I said about people breathing and being around me, so like I'm gonna have to. Sometimes you want to be breathed on. Yeah, sometimes. Mm-hmm. Okay. And sometimes I want a little help. Got you. Like just, with anything. Not like just money help, but just help with stuff. Mm-hmm. Like I ain't washed my car in like a year. Ooh. Ain't nothing wrong with that.   Everything. I don't want to put gas in there and I get mad every time I go to the gas station. But I don't like to drive, so it's not that often. I probably go to the gas station once I'm like, I hate it.  Going to the gas station as a woman. Yeah.  I, I'm the same way. I wait till the last minute to go to the gas station. A while. Cause it's like you get to the, it don't matter if you looking rough or you looking beautiful. Somebody is gonna bother you.   I don't. I've seen that. Y'all get dressed for each other. But I want you to care. Not us. I want you to care too, cause it's expensive. Yeah, I know.   That's a lie. Yes, we will. You've only done it for so long. Yes, we will. You've only done it for so long.  Let me ask you, what your man work at? I need to know this. Me? Yes, I need to know. I need to know why you like this nigga like that. Why is you hand, why are you letting him be, why are you allowing yourself to be handcuffed like this? I know. Cause you sound like sprunged in a motherfucker, boy. I'm so sprung in summer. But you know what, I'm stressed because summer is approaching and I'm used to being outside. Okay. Outside. I'm talking about brushing standing on tables and driving the boat. Okay. And this is gonna be a different summer. I have to be well behaved. You guys still got a branch.  No, but she doesn't like being alone though. I don't. And I don't think the girls are gonna invite me anymore cause I talk about my boyfriend too much. But he's- Is your man a stream of income? No, I wouldn't. Like for me? For you, yeah. No, cause the more that I do therapy I'm learning that's not healthy to just date people for what they have. Of course. Hello. That's not okay. Hello. Yeah. That's not okay. So this go around. You know that's a form of mental illness to be going out on dates with niggas you don't like. Well, it's mental illness and brokenness. Yeah, and brokenness too. Desperate times are for desperate measurements. Yeah. Hey, man, I've tried to date a chick just for this. Like, you know what I'm saying?  And it's not worth it.  Conversation.  But women are deterred. We can do it better. Like we will go on a trip. No, you won't. Yeah. What?  Well, it happens. Yeah, I heard. There are cars being bought. There are rents being paid.  There are rents being funded. And you paying for my girlfriends.  It's nothing. Listen, once again, this is why I watch our show. Because we'd be talking crazy.  Oh, we sweet. This motherfucker.  Lucky we ain't talking no more.  One thing that we talk about a lot is the food nigga. And a lot of men don't know that this is our business. Yes, I was the food nigga. Didn't I just talk about the food nigga? Didn't I just talk about the food nigga last time? Yes. Like, you don't want to be the food nigga. Why? It's a privilege to be the food nigga. That's why, because somebody had commented, they were like, dang, like, that's a foolish man if he's the food nigga. And you're actually doing, like, you're walking in your purpose. You're feeding women that are hungry.  And so does she. You're opening up their lifestyle to five-star restaurants, bro, the food nigga. And who want to eat alone? Look, I still have conversation. Be a food nigga and change the world today because somebody's hungry. We trying new foods that we never had before. Experiences. That's what it's about. The food, it's a privilege to be the food nigga. Stand up, young man. Because that's the first person that you don't like, that you will say yes to. Yeah. So you at the top of the list. And then you start having a good time because you're like, look. Is he cute? Or is it the tequila? I don't know. Let me ask you this.  Oh, no, that's your role. Now, if you're the food nigga, that's all we do. You're not even coming upstairs. Everybody has a job. Hey, Chrissy, how you feel about this? Chrissy. Are we wrong?  I don't because I am taken at the moment. But you miss them food niggas, don't you? I miss my food niggas. I miss the food niggas. Every Saturday, every Sunday, even Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I'm like, don't get me in trouble. I don't believe in myself. Chrissy's saying it's safe right now. I'm going to be bothered. Sometimes they're fun. Sometimes they're fun all the time. I love a food nigga. They know their place.  Well, I haven't had that experience. Whiz, whiz, what you at with this? They're just more patient. I don't give them the opportunity. I'm trying to be the sperm nigga.  Well, we don't need any of that. I'm trying to be the sperm in your mouth, nigga. Whiz, how you feel about this? That's why I don't. That's going to take more than a meal for that. I got no friends. No comment. What's up, Lili? Everybody is interested in a relationship? Maybe it'll soak into me. What I asked was in a relationship. OK, before. Y'all love these niggas, too. I'm going to talk about my food niggas. I miss y'all. If you see this clip, I do miss y'all. She just said she was in a relationship. That relationship's got them spooked up in there.  I'm keeping this one. This is a wine. Oh, wow. Congratulations to you guys. Oh, wow. I was in the club one day.  That's not cool. And you get two times tops, or after two times. After two meals.  And I'm feeling on your booty, and we tongue-kissing the first date.  That is why I love the behavior. How much talking are you doing on these dates?   That is not what you were out here saying to be on a first date. That's not a date. Time out. Can you imagine me not saying that to you on the first date? I'm telling you what. Can you imagine me not saying that to you? One time I was in Walmart, and this young man walked up to me, and he said, the way your booty is eating that dress, I appreciate it. And I looked at him. I actually happened to have that. And said what?  I did, actually. I did. I know. What in the town? I actually did. That's that one that came over that day, and he was giving me a massage, and he went straight for my booty hole and started eating in my butt. And I was like, whoa, this is crazy. Yeah, he did. That was just one, though. He's the opposite of the one that didn't get away.   Eatin' booty. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. Yes. That's the key on the song. And I get my booty. I don't know the song. Yes, I sit on Girl Faces All That Shit, yeah. Yeah, it's wild. That means it's like a movement now. Hey, we was just talking about this. Eatin' booty?   I mean, I've been talkin' about it for years, and I told people to do it, and nobody wanted to listen to it. And I'm glad that y'all advocates for it. She introduced me to it, yeah.  I'm not just eatin' all booties, though. Like, this night.   Please don't make this a cliff. And I like going to Forbidden Territory, you know? Sit again? I like going to Forbidden Territory. Come on now. Like, somebody probably never did this before. Come on now. About to get you. Come on now. And you'll never forget me. We can do this the easy way. Even when I block you, you'll never forget me. Yeah. Because you'll remember how it felt. And you'll watch how you talk to me, too. Yeah, you will, put some respect on my name. Yeah. Mm-hmm. There's certain things that you love, like you just said, respect. When you're in the process of breaking up, this ain't really working.  It's like, well, hold on. If I changed my mind, I might just be emotional to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's a big step right there.  It's spiritual.  You're not too preaching about eating booty on.  So, hold on, you sat on their face? Like a mother hen.  Now, that's not the position I'm gonna be in now. How do you do that? Like, what was the... Yeah, 100%. I thought you meant if we sat on somebody's face. Yeah, I didn't want to, it don't matter. Or you just like relaxed, like just sat. Just straight, like 69, up, like I'm on top.  You said it like that sounds better. No, it does sound better than just sitting. I thought he was sitting like how we sit on men's face. No, that's what I'm saying. That is what I'm saying. What, is she okay? Yeah, she's okay. Okay. Yeah, she's okay.  How did you help? You put a lot of your weight in your arms?  I'd rather you just bend over and get on on fours in the bed. I do that too. Yeah, I do that too. I appreciate you even making that option. Cause that's the easiest one. Cause sometimes they be trying to like scoot to the edge and then lift their legs up. But if your legs are long and heavy enough, it's like, this is a lot of weight on my back and I think I'm gonna suffocate. Like I'm already down here. Let's talk it out. Let's talk it out. Yeah, and I done been in a couple of car accidents. Oh no. Yeah, I know, right? I'm in so much pain right now. God bless you. Thank you. But you know, you don't wanna be having all these bones and muscles all twisted and stuff and then trying to concentrate on breathing and pleasuring you, that's a lot. Toot that booty up, please. That's right, eat that moon pie. Oh. Yeah, sir. I agree. Eat that booty cat. That booty cat. I ain't got no cootie cat, but I got that booty cat for you. It's handy. And the man told me that. I be like, now wait a minute. It was handy. Whenever I'm making studs and whatnot, I always let him know. I ain't got no cootie cat for you, baby, but I got that booty cat. What's up? There's rules. There are rules to the booty cat. Yup. That would be a good song. That booty cat. That booty cat, yeah. That's nice. Yeah, shout me out on y'all show, man. We got you. Yeah, shout me out on the show and whatnot. So, man, hey, they don't tell me what's coming up for the cocktails. You know, y'all on tour right now. Yeah, we are. Y'all on tour. Yeah. I've been trying to get y'all for a minute now. And y'all. We be on. Selling out shows. Selling out shows. Yeah, well, man. Selling out merch. Come on, man. You know, you got a card game. Yeah, we have a discussion card game. It's called I'm Curious to Know, and it's one of those games where I always tell people, if you get the game, you can play it with anybody, but I suggest single people pack it in their purse with them and take it on a first date, because sometimes you can get nervous on a date and you don't know what to talk about. You don't know what to ask. And we have some of those questions in there that'll help you get to where you're trying to get without sounding like you're trying to use somebody. You can blame it on us. What's an example of sounding like you're trying to use somebody? What type of gifts do you like to give? That's a question that you can ask to kind of gauge, like, okay, what type of man am I dealing with? What's the best gift you've ever given to someone?   Well, what do you think is a good gift? But it's a new person, so you don't know. There's some edible arrangements, you know. Well, see, this is getting to know people. Yeah, this is getting to know people. I give an edible, you better hurry up and eat that fruit before it goes bad. I don't like edible arrangements. Okay, well, I'll get you a cabbage arrangement then. What do you want a vegetable arrangement? No, it's smelling like dookies. Yeah, we'll figure out what kind of foods, you like a pizza arrangement or whatnot. What kind of pizza arrangement?  Then what you got right now? The one that I got right now.  I'm not gonna lie, I feel like it's gonna, he got me...  I'm really not lying, I'm true.  The last gift that is popping up in my head that he got me was a pair of Chanel sneakers, and I was shocked. I was like, I don't even wear them because I haven't bought my own self Chanel. He did it, and I ain't even wore the shoes. That's the last gift he gave me, and I don't know what else to say. How long y'all been dating? Not even a year. Not even a year, you got you some Chanel. See, this nigga here. But he's not one of the, but I don't even make that sound like... He works in tech. He's a tech guy. Okay, he is scammer, okay. He is not a scammer. I stay far away from them people. Oh, you over that? I'm over that, I can't do this scammer life. Okay, we stopped you from dating scammers. When was enough enough? I'm just not that, if I know you're a scammer and you started talking about scammer-ish activity, I'm telling you right now, I'm just not the girl to be doing stuff like that. I'm not going to jail, I'm telling, so stop. I dated a girl that was a scammer and whatnot. How did you not scam when she running?   No, I don't need the extra $10,000, I'm straight. Did you ever get caught up, do you remember when that pyramid scheme situation was going on? The soon, soon shit? I don't know what it's called, but it was like, give me a hundred and you're gonna get 800. Yeah, yeah, I did it one time. I did it three times. I did not do it. No, nigga, no, you only supposed to do it once. I got, God. No, damn. And I was like trying to spread the word, like I got by my mama. Why did y'all do that? Because I thought she got the money and then she was like, do it.  I did it twice. When you do it the second time and whatnot, that's when you become the fool and whatnot. I was very mad, I told my mom, I told her I was gonna sue her. I said, I can't believe you would do your child like this. Damn. It was really bad. And then I was like, I was believing in it so hard. They're like, my ex-boyfriend. I was like, hey, like my mom told me about this thing, like let's do it.  He was like, if you believe in it so much, why don't you pay my hundred? I said, okay. Girl, lost it. Now where did you think the money was coming from? Because that's always my question. I did it, I did it, I did it, I did 1500. I did 1500 and got $10,000 back. But where did you think the money was coming from?   But I know the hustle though, I know the hustle. I know the first to go around is gonna be legit. Did anything after that? Yeah, everybody's not blind.  Don't try to say mom, please. My mom got me, she got my sister, she got my brother. She got us all, and then my sister's a new mom. Your mama didn't know no better, she just, She didn't know she was getting us, but when we got in these other circles, like then people knew they were, I was so pissed. I was so mad.  There was a guy that I met when I was living in Miami, he was so fine, I was so happy that I met such a fine man, cause I don't really be dating fine men. We exchanged numbers, he's like, let's go on a date. I'm like, absolutely, I love going on dates. He sends me the address, I go to his house, he's like, I'm gonna make dinner, and then we're gonna go, I can't remember where we're gonna go, this is a while ago, so I go to his house, and, oh no, no, no, no. We didn't just came to drop this pussy a lot. No, he didn't, cause I get there, and it's people in the house, like old people, and I was like, what are we doing? And there was a PowerPoint set up on a screen, and he was like so, and he gave me this little pamphlet, and it was about joining this, it was a pyramid scheme, and I was like, I'm dressed up, I got a freedom dress on, I thought you had a real date. I thought I had a real date, I said, I am, his granny was there, I was like, I'm so, so I have to leave. Why would you do this to somebody? I think we about to go and pop bottles and eat sushi. No, and his granny was like, well no baby girl, don't leave, like this is an opportunity for you to plan for your future. Old people think that you just gonna do what they say, cause they old. And I stayed for a little bit, cause the old lady.   And I laughed, and I didn't talk to him no more, cause you tricked me. He did, and he was wrong for that. Now, I didn't heard you say that you was part of some three-part relationships and what now you was a third-party in relationships. I was, I was dating a married couple. This is a one-time thing? It was a one-time thing, and it was when I worked in the corporate world, it was the owner of the company and his wife. I like it. It was good until it was bad. It was the worst. What went wrong? They fired me and tried to stop my unemployment. Why? Because the wife- You burnt them? No, no, no. I gave them my STD. Yes. No, that didn't happen. But what did happen was, so he was a Middle Eastern man, she was a white woman, and she didn't realize that her husband liked black women as much as he did. So when you make white women mad, they get, they act funny. Like, she started just acting crazy, showing up at my house. She moved into an apartment. They got a divorce. Like, it was such a big deal. She was like, I just didn't know he liked black women this much. She said that out of her mouth, and I was like, I don't even, I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to say to this, because I didn't, this was something I was invited into. Hold on, Tamar. Hold on. So I think I just heard something new in this, and I wasn't even thinking about it. You like girls too. I liked to dip in dabble. You thought she was with two men? And women.  No. I'm not about that life. That sounds like too much work and a little homosexual, but. I like what you just said. I can't do that. But she was a husband and a wife. And it was just a great situation. We were having so much fun. I felt like their little adopted child that they wanted to share experiences with. There were girl places, going to festivals. It was so much fun until she realized it was too much fun, because she used to be like, will you go hang out with him? Like, I'm going out of town this weekend. And so I was taking him to like comedy shows on Edgewood, all this stuff that you wouldn't think this man would want to do. She was like, he's not gonna like that.  And so she started to get jealous and started to. Well, he tried to leave her for you didn't he? No, because that wasn't gonna happen. Like, I didn't want to be with him like that. I really did just want to be this role that was fun for them. He was a stream of income for you. Not even that. I mean, he was, he would take care of stuff, but like it wasn't even about that. It was fun. It was fun. I didn't want to, they were a toxic couple. They had kids. One day I was at the house, the baby started trying to go off on me. I was like, oh no, I'm not trying to be a part of the family family. I just want to be the fun, the fun. That's it. Chrisy, what you, hold on, what was that, Chrisy? You did that too? Chrisy, you did that too? I was in a relationship right now, and she can't talk about nothing else. Well, could I get another one, Chrisy? Chrisy, yeah, yeah, hold on, Chrisy. I've been in a Polly thing.  Chrisy said. Yo, Chrisy turned up, I did motherfucka, man. Are you still in a Polly thing? Oh no. Okay. Did you have fun? Not really, because my ex-fiance's, he was sneaky. Oh, he was a lot. He was a lot. He was a lot.  And that's mental illness. Like. Cause what is wrong with you? It's greedy. It's like, when you're old, why do you do that? Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. How many of y'all is, what is the situation look like? And can you refresh her too? It was me, another woman in him, but it was me and him first. I met her through him. And she didn't know what she was getting into. Like, I guess they were talking before me. Before I came in the picture, they used to talk on Instagram and the DMs or whatever. And then me and him lived together or whatever. Eventually we, you know, got together, lived together or whatever. And he started lying. She started seeing that.   So I know I'm not tripping. Yeah. And I think the Polly relationships, like a lot of people is real trendy right now to say you want to be Polly and to try and convince people to live their life like that.  And you should just say that and stop trying to be in a relationship with people. Because we've had like actual people who are ethically non-monogamous in these relationships. And that's different than just you got two girlfriends at home, but you still gotta be out every weekend or every day trying to find a new person to fuck. And it's just like, that's not Polly. That's just being a ho. Exactly. Yeah. And that's what he was going for. That's what I was going for. He just wanted to do it. He was going just because he wanted to just have another female and do it. It wasn't about the- The nerd. A relationship. A relationship. Honestly, honesty is a huge part of it. You gotta talk to my empire and stuff like that. That's not something to do with Polly. I'm with y'all.  And that would be so much easier. Right. I'm with y'all. I don't know. That would be better for me.  I can live that right now. Yeah, he and the Polly relationship. Really? And it's more of my wife. So, I got great sleep. You know what I'm saying? I ain't stressing over about doing two. We done did everything, so it ain't that. But I like her, the friendship she be getting because it'd be like-minded women, you know what I'm saying? What about men? What you mean, men? Can she bring a man? Can she bring a man? Other men. Like now, hold up. Who said that? To me, she came, but she- She doesn't.   So, why I can't not feel the same way for her? That's not how I can deal with it, because I'm a fair person. I like that, though. That is very fair. I'm real fair. You're very fair. A lot of these men are not fair. You're really, really fair. I'm really fair. You're really fair. I'm like fair, so it ain't gonna hit the same. You know what I'm saying? But let me ask you this. Hold on, hold on. So you haven't heard about it? No. Okay.  But see- You think you can hear about it? Before we got married, we were friends. Yeah.  Yeah. So we both can see how we would react. And it wasn't just like I thought. I've been thinking this and I've been- So you saw her getting- Did you like it? Did I like it? I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't turn it on like that. That's the word. It was like- Did you just turn your head like- Somebody wrote a letter into our show and he liked it. But I'm correct. Right, right. But I'm like, so it is a different mindset. It is. Yeah. We don't got no- It's a different mindset that men have a hard time trying to. You'll be like, I want us to bring in other people, but then if your girl is like that, normally the man is like- You didn't mean people, you meant women. Yeah. I don't know, I don't see no- Oh. My wife, she's stuck up, she didn't even know what she was doing. Thank you. Yeah, okay, okay. Who was you picking, who was you seeing? But she ain't big crazy. She likes more of the girl. To answer your question, if it didn't- Okay. It would be cool. Yeah, I don't think- See, now that's fair. That's usually not how it goes. Got you. Yeah, so that relationship ended. After like a year and a half. That's a, yo, you put in some work. I mean, I worked for the company. Oh, yeah, that'll do it, that'll do it. Yeah. That might be hard to understand. I know it's so funny, because there were all these rumors going around and- Oh, they knew about your home. I remember one time, well they weren't sure. And so one time, the lady in accounting, like she came and she was like, I just really want you to know that people are going around saying that like, you're a part of like, you and such and such are swinging. And I just want you to know, because you're so nice. And I was like, I can't believe that that's happening. I'm going to HR tomorrow. Like I was just like, that's crazy that people are talking like that. And I don't even know you guys like that. That's what you gotta do. Yeah. And I went to HR and I was like, I can't believe that there are rumors- Who said it? People shouldn't even be talking about sex at work. And they're saying that I'm sleeping with the owner of this company and that is not okay. I love your corporate work. And then we flew to, we went to LA to a festival. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. So what are the name cocktails? Put me on to that. So when we have the show, we drink cocktails on the show. But then it was like, okay, what's, I love names that are like plays on words. So we spell it a little different. And usually when me and my homegirls would start drinking and just hanging out at the house, we would start sharing sex stories. So that's why the name cocktails, is we'll drink and share some sex stories.  Mm-hmm. Yeah. They were going play the sound effect. I wonder if you have a cocktail. Yeah.   A cocktail can be for a man.  Yeah. Like an example of one that I was like to give when we have guests on them. They're like, well, I don't know. Is the story gonna be good enough? I'm like, don't think too hard about it. It can be funny, embarrassing, romantic. I didn't see y'all have some guys on y'all show that normally like really, really outgoing.  Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah.  And then we asked them for their cocktail.  What's the rest? And that was it. And she was like, ah, ah, ah. And we outlasted for hours. No, you didn't. Yeah. I know you didn't. No, you didn't. Yeah. A cocktail that I shared in the beginning of cocktails was, there was a guy that I was dating. Well, I thought we were dating. I was a little young. I love y'all cocktail voices. Yeah, we were going on like our first trip together. And this was before you could check in on your phone and stuff. So we met at the gate because we didn't ride together. And so we get to the gate, they start boarding. And first class, they say first class boarding. And he goes to board the plane. But I was in group eight. And I was like, well, why are you boarding? He was like, oh, because that's my group. And so he bought himself a first class ticket. And he put me in coach. And it was like coach, coach. I was all the way in the back, like 40E and a middle C. I was like, damn. So I still go. And I'm like, I get on the plane. During the flight, he comes and brings me back a drink.  Her name was Michelle. All the way in the back of the plane. All the way in the back. And she's like, he gives me the drink. And I'm all excited. I was really, I was young and dumb. And she was like, are you traveling with that gentleman? And I was like, yeah. And like looking proud.  And she was like, you should be ashamed of yourself.  She was like, he got himself a first class ticket. He put you all the way in the back. How do you feel? And I was like, well, at first I felt proud. Now I feel really horrible.  That's just, that's just like old eight man. No, because it was one of him. It was, he should have just put me on a different flight.  It don't matter. He should have gave me his first class seats. We need to be on coach together. Or coach together. Like, or put me, like I said, put me on a different flight. So at least you didn't have to see it. The entitlement. I don't have to see it. This is a group flight. So we need to be together. The entitlement, oh my God. It's a group. It's not entitlement. It's not entitlement. Do you know what the objective of the game of chess is? For the queen to protect the king. But how she gonna protect him in the back of the plane? Because you over here looking, making sure. I don't like chess, I like the air marshal. Okay, I don't even know how to play chess. Do you know what the objective of flying bitches out is? No, because I don't do that. So at least make sure she's comfortable on her way.  Yeah, I don't, I don't, that's not my life. That's not my life. That is so rude. No, that's not my life. I wouldn't do that. He wouldn't do it. He wouldn't blame it. That's not my life.   Yeah, like, damn, you going to the Bahamas too? That's crazy. Oh, wow. Okay, well shit, you have a good time too. Oh my God, that's crazy. Wow, that's crazy, man. I'm gonna go do this little show real quick and whatnot.  No, it's already gonna be some bitches there already. I'm cool. I'm gonna go and share with the Bahamas bitches at the show off that I'm going to already. I'm famous, yeah. Men are different. I'm famous. Y'all are different. Very different. I'm practical, I'm logical, I'm a realist. Are you romantic? Yeah, I can be, I'm definitely romantic. When somebody bring that out of me, but you know. When's the last time somebody brought that out of you? When I got married. I knew you was gonna say that. How long ago was that? Back in the 17th. Okay. I got a voice in the 17th too. Oh, I'm already made a year. No. Action and cut. Ah, do that. Yeah, that's a wrap on it today. You did your thing. What made you wanna get married? What made me wanna get married? Yeah. Shit, I just, I, You don't have it. Oh, we got you talking.    All right, so I'm gonna keep it 100 with you. Okay. I just, I got tired of the fake love. Okay. And I just, I wanted some real shit, but I got it from some fake love, from somebody from the fake love pool. Y'all bamboozled each other. No. You thought it was real. She bamboozled me. Damn. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was just, I was just really trying to, don't say I feel a void and everything, you know what I'm saying?    I think I need something that's gonna be a little bit more sustainable.  I was vulnerable and I let myself do somebody have no business doing. Damn. Yeah, I was open. Yeah. Too open. Yeah, I was way too open. So how you figure out that it was fake love? Cause she liked the idea of Jack Thriller and not who I really was. You know, love is a tricky thing because those be the parts. It's like everybody highlights the happy parts and the parts where you do feel the highs and the parts where we are celebrating each other. But you don't really know if you love somebody until you go through.  I'm not talking about cheating. I'm not talking about something like that. But I'm just saying you have to see a person as they, for who they really are, like when they're sad, when they're grieving, when they're upset, when they're maybe dealing with a little bit of depression, like the non-happy things in life, like, and can you stick it out to that? And a lot of people cannot. And so it's interesting. The more that I grow and go to all these weddings and divorce parties, I have one this weekend, I'm like, I like to ask people questions. Like, what drew you to this person? And normally it's me asking the woman. And a lot of the times the women are like, a recently a friend was like, you know, when I first met him, he was so fun. And he would get sections at the club and he spent all this money on me and my friends. And I was like, that's what drew you to him? That's not what should draw you, in my opinion, everybody do your own thing to your husband, to a life partner, cause he still was doing it. He's still doing it. And that's why y'all getting the divorce and the baby gonna be fatherless.  I'm not talking about you acting crazy, but go through the seasons and then see if you still, if you can handle that. You hit it right on the head. You hit it right on the head. I love it. I love it. If you're dating somebody who's an entertainer or does anything where they're in front of people, you have to remember, that's a character that they're putting on to entertain people they're on.  Well. I don't eat it every night. I mean, maybe if I love, then be cracking jokes.  Like some days you wanna chill or you just wanna relax. It's not about going out and laughing all day. Sometimes you wanna just be. And that's how I figure out if I actually like somebody.  I'm not counting your breaths. Like when is he gonna leave? And I can just be with you. Like we can have fun. It's easy to have fun with anybody who is a good time, but if you can't stand to be around somebody in the calm moments and the less exciting moments and you know, that ain't the one. We recently went on Lover's and Friends podcast hosted by Shannon Boudram. And one thing that we kind of talked about this topic and it was like, she was like, if you're with somebody and they always want you to look like this or look prettier, look how you look at live shows. We talked about this top of the show. How do you feel?   My hair looks crazy under this. And that's how I enjoy looking.  So if you want that, you got to find somebody else because you about to be in for a nightmare.  I like the dramatic road. I like to do it for me. And so it's not about me wanting to be with somebody who wants that, like, I like it. And it makes me happy. I don't want to walk around looking ugly. It happens. And I've been watching my cousin all week. It happened a lot this week. I was like, I look like I had, I was a single mother to a newborn. And that's why I was so on motherhood earlier this week. Cause I'm like, where is your daddy at? I'm tired. But on the same token though, listen, and I say this at the top of the show, you ain't got to do all that with me. But I like it for me. I know. And I dig that. No, but there's a level of you don't got to do all that and you not doing that thing. I don't want to do that. Yeah, I dig that that you love yourself enough and everything to want to own.  Now look, I can be totally bare. And it's not like I have to put it on, but sometimes I'm not doing anything. And I just want to do it. I enjoy the process sometimes, not all the time, but I enjoy the process of putting on my makeup. Sometimes it's just calming. And I just listen to my music and do it, get dolled up and just feel cute while I make dinner or whatever, right?  And I'll still feel fine, but I like doing it. It makes me feel better. Yeah, but also to say not to look like another person, when I hear men say that I'm always like, that's crazy to say because it's like, weave makes you look different. When you take out the weave, we don't know what your hair is looking like. So you might be in for a surprise. Lashes, most bitches got on lashes. When you take all of your lashes off, you look different. When you take off the found, you're going to look different.

This study examined the effects of pyrolysis temperature on the physical and chemical characteristics of apple tree branch biochar, ATB. The results showed that increasing pyrolysis temperature led to an increase in fixed carbon content, inorganic mineral content, and thermal stability. Additionally, the pH and ash content of the biochar increased with pyrolysis temperature while the ratio of organic to inorganic carbon decreased. Furthermore, the number of acidic functional groups decreased with pyrolysis temperature while the number of basic functional groups increased. Finally, the BET surface area and poor volume of the biochar increased with pyrolysis temperature, which indicates that pyrolysis temperature plays a key role in determining the physical and chemical characteristics of biochar.

In this presentation, we will take a look at the closing process for a corporation. We'll go through an example. We'll put the journal entry on the left side. We're going to record this information to the trial balance on the right side. We're going to start off here with the statement of retained earnings and see how the statement of retained earnings will compare and contrast to the closing process. Over here we have the trial balance. This is going to be the beginning trial balance. We're going to post our adjustments here. We can see that the trial balance has the assets in green, liabilities in orange, equity in light blue, and revenue and expenses in dark blue. The debits will be non-bracketed or positive numbers. The credits will be bracketed or negative numbers. We see that net income is currently at the 425,000. That is net income, not a net loss calculated as revenue credit of 500,000 minus expenses debit of 75,000 to bring us to that 425,000. You'll note that this is going to be a simplified trial balance in net. Obviously, it's simplified in many regards, but on the income statement side where we will be concentrating, we have grouped all the expenses together here. Our goal here is not to close out all expense accounts. All expense accounts will have debit balances and they'll close out in the same way. We've taken a look at the closing process in prior courses. We're going to focus here on the main thing that will differ within the closing process, that thing being the retained earnings. We're going to close out to retained earnings. In other words, when we have a sole proprietor or partnership, we will have much the same closing process. We're going to go through a four-step closing process which will achieve the goals of closing out temporary accounts, including the revenue and expense accounts, all income statement accounts, 2-0, and the dividends account, which will be similar to draws, 2-0. All the temporary accounts will be closed, but not to the capital account, as would be the case for the sole proprietorship or partnership, but to retained earnings. Why? Why do we have this difference? For a sole proprietorship or a partnership, we are going to track the equity section by who is basically entitled to the net assets, to the assets minus the liabilities. With the case of a corporation, we don't have to list out all these corporate stockholders, all the owners of the company, because all the stocks are the same. Instead, we're going to break out this information by the capital investments, which will be the common stock in the paid-in capital. We sold the stock or issued the stock. We got this money that's basically like the investment, and the amount that has been retained or earned over and above that investment, which may be the initial investment in terms of income that has not been given back in the form of draws. We can compare this to the statement of retained earnings here. The statement of retained earnings is going to start with the beginning retained earnings, which is going to be this number. Beginning retained earnings is going to be this number because this number has not yet been closed out through the closing process, meaning net income hasn't been closed to it or dividends. Therefore, this will generally be the beginning number until we do so. Then we've got the net income, the 425, the 425, and then we're going to decrease it by the dividends, which is the 264, this 264, which will leave us with the 478,000. That's what we're going to get at the end of the day here with the closing process, meaning all these accounts will then be zero, and this account should then be at this 478,000. Let's go through our steps. There's going to be four of them. We're going to close out revenue to the income summary, expenses then to the income summary. Step three, we close out dividends to, I'm sorry, step three, we close out the income summary to retained earnings, that being the difference. Step four, we close out dividends to retained earnings. First step, closing out the revenue. So revenue has, remember our goals to make all these zero all the income statement accounts. So revenue has a credit balance. We're going to do the opposite thing to it, a debit to make it to go down. We're going to put it into this temporary account, the income summary account. This income summary account will only appear in the closing process. It'll be zero before the closing process. It'll be zero after the closing process. That's why it's not only a temporary account, it's a clearing account. It's what I typically call it, meaning it really only has that one specific purpose and then we'll be gone. That purpose being to close out the entire income statement into it and give us a check to see that net income will then be in it and that the income statement accounts are then zero and therefore ready to be closed out to where we ultimately want them retained earnings. So if we post these then, the revenue account here, it's going to be posted, it was at 500,000. It's going to be debited by 500,000 going down to zero, that being the objective. Here's the income summary. It's going to be posted to the income summary here starting at zero going up by 500,000 in the credit direction to 500,000. So here's where we're at so far, the income summary having that 500,000 revenue, the revenue now being at zero. Next of the four step process is going to be to close out the expenses. The expenses are currently on the books at 75,000. Now we've grouped all expenses into just one expense account. It may be typical for us only to have one revenue account or a few of them. Expenses typically we will have a lot of expense accounts like telephone expense, the meals and entertainment expense, we're going to have supplies expense, we're going to have whole different amounts of expenses because of course, when we have the revenue, we concentrate on whatever we do to earn revenue, and then we pay for whatever else. So whatever else will be different categories of expenses, we're going to group them all into one expense category because they're all going to be debit balances and our focus here is on the things that will differ in the closing process, which will be not the expenses but the retained earnings and dividends. So this is a debit balance, we're going to do the opposite thing to it, which is a credit to close it out, and we're going to put the difference to the income summary. So we got the credit to the expenses, then the difference is going to go into this clearing account, the income summary account. So this is going to be the same as it would be for a sole proprietor or partnership. If we post this then we've got the income summary starting at 500,000, it's going to go down by this debit to the 75 or by 75,000 to 425,000. That 425,000 is what net income started at. So that's the net income here. And then we're going to close out the expenses, expenses 75,000 going down by 75,000 to zero. So what we have now is the income summary now having the net income in it. And we've closed out all revenue and expense accounts. And so we can give our check, we can kind of check and see if we are at where we want to be. That being that the income summary has the net income in it, that should match on the financial statements that we had created for the income statement net income. And all expense accounts are zero. If that's the case, we go, yep, looks good closing process function as we think it should. And therefore we'll finish the closing process clearing out the income summary, taking it back down to zero posting that information to retained earnings. So that's what step three will be. So we have income net income 425,000 in the income summary due to closing out both revenue accounts and expense accounts to it. So we have a net credit balance income net income in the income summary, we're going to close it out by doing the opposite thing to it, which will be a debit to the income summary account of that 425. And then we're going to close it out to retained earnings. Remember that retained earnings is going to be the thing that differs here, meaning in a sole proprietorship or partnership, we would close it out to the capital accounts, representing the owner share of the assets minus the liabilities. Here we're going to post it to retained earnings, representing the share that is assets minus liabilities applied to the earnings that have accumulated over time, which have not yet been distributed in the form of dividends, as opposed to the other component of the equity section being the investments that have been in the company due to stock distribution. So this investments in a sole proprietor or partnership would be just put directly into the capital accounts in essence. Then, but for here, for the corporation, we want to break out the part that was an investment and the part that is retained earnings. So we have a better understanding about how much we can give out in terms of dividends. At least that's one of the reasons we want to break this out. So if we post this out, then we're going to say the income summary started at the 425, it's going to go down by the 425 to zero. And then the retained earnings is at the 400 317. It's going to go up in the credit direction by 425,000 to the 742,000. So here's our total accounts. Note that retained earnings went up. That makes sense because this represents, as the name suggests, the earnings that have been accumulated over the lifetime of the business, which have been retained and therefore not yet distributed to the owners in the form of dividends. That brings us to step three here, or I'm sorry, step four of the four step process, which is to close out the dividends account. Now note that the dividends account may be posted directly to retained earnings, meaning when we gave out a dividend, we may have reported that as a reduction to retained earnings at the point in time dividends were declared. Here we're going to break it out into its own dividends account and close it out as a temporary account in a similar fashion as we do for a sole proprietor typically or a partnership. We don't have dividends for a sole proprietorship or a partnership, but the dividends account can be closely related to the drawings account. So note that if you're a partnership, in other words, what happens here is you're going to have a capital account that will increase and that will, when we have earnings, and that will be the partner's distribution of or the breakout of revenue minus expenses, their share of the book value of the company. And that's going to be, now, if they want to take money out of the company, then typically the two main restrictions would be one, do we have the cash to do it? And two, do you have a capital account balance high enough to take it out? You can't take out more money than in the capital accounts. There might be more restrictions than that in the partnership agreement, but that the partner has a lot of leeway to take out whatever they want in the form of draws, reducing the money, taking it out of the of the business, reducing their capital account, and taking the money for personal use. The dividends is the same in that it is going to be a payment from the company to the to the owners.  So it's not like one stockholder, even if they have a 51% of the stock, a majority share, they can't just vote and say, hey, give me a dividend on my 51 shares and not on anybody else's 49% shares because they all the dividends by definition have to have to be the same to all the stocks. So the difference with a corporation is the dividends differ from draws simply in that the dividends represent distributions to the owners, like draws, however, those distributions are all even to all owners, meaning all stocks, their owners could differ based on the fact that they have more or less stock, but the distribution will be even per stock. So that in other words, the rest of it will be the same. In terms of the closing process, it'll be the same, meaning this represents a distribution to the owners, we it's a clearing account, it needs to go down, it has a debit balance, we're going to do the opposite thing to it to make it go down. So we're going to credit the dividends and then we're going to put the difference to retained earnings. So if we see this again, we're going to say that the dividends are going to go down, there's a debit balance, we're going to do the opposite to make it go to zero. And then we're going to put the other side to retained earnings, which is going to be kind of like the accounts we're going to close everything out to and a closing process in a similar fashion as we would to capital accounts for a partnership or a sole proprietor. Posting this out, here's the retained earnings starting at 742,000. And well, let's post the dividends first, it's at the 264,000. And we're going, we started at 264,000 debit, it's going to go down by a credit of 264,20. That's the objective. Then the 742,000 of retained earnings is going to go down by 264,000 to the 478,000. And that would make sense because the retained earnings, remember, represents the earnings that have been retained over the life of the business and have not yet been distributed. The retained earnings or the dividends represent distributions to the owners in the form of dividends. So it will reduce the retained earnings to the 478. So we're left with then the common stock in the patent capital, this portion being like the investment portion, which hasn't changed during this process. And then the retained earnings, the all of these would then represent assets minus liabilities assets minus liabilities will equal the sum of these accounts. The sum of these accounts is the net book value of the company assets minus liabilities and represents what is owed to the owners, the stockholders. How do we know who gets that money if we were liquidated? If we close the business, it's just going to be distributed evenly, depending on by share. So whoever has how many shares are going to get an even distribution per share. So here's going to be the full process then note the end process we started here with the 425. We've got the four steps we've got we closed out the revenue to income summary. We closed out expenses to the income summary then in step two, step three, we closed out the income summary to retained earnings. And then we closed out dividends to retained earnings. We had this temporary account and the income statement accounts. We closed out the income statement accounts to the income summary in step one, we closed out the income summary to retained earnings. These are step one and two in step three. And then we closed out the dividends to retained earnings in step four. The result was that net income got closed out to retained earnings as did the dividends leaving us with zeros in all temporary accounts and 478,000 in the retained earnings which will be the ending number as well in the statement of retained earnings.
