00:00:00 Darius: Welcome to Out the Trunk with Jordan and Darius. My name is Darius. That's Steve's I love your area on all socials.

00:00:05 Jordan: And I'm Jordan. That's Jordan to be writing on all socials.

00:00:09 Darius: This is our segment where we like to tell you guys what's on our mind, what we saw throughout the week, what's going on. Quick question, a friend of the pod and I were talking earlier. When is pre-gaming too much? Because I had to tell her that I draw a line at this. At one point, Is drinking in the parking lot outside of the venue a bridge too far for you? I guess that's a legal question.

00:00:40 Jordan: Okay, so is this, is this like the whole premium is the parking lot or the premium at the crib and then they took a sip at the parking in the parking lot?

00:00:50 Darius: However you want it to be.

00:00:52 Jordan: Okay.

00:00:53 Darius: Dealer's choice.

00:00:54 Jordan: Yeah. Like, OK, if you're just taking like a couple of sips or something like that, I think that's fine. If you're like, you know, that is your pregame. That's a problem.

00:01:04 Darius: You know, we want to have some cocktails at the crib before the venue, by all means. You want to hit a dive bar before the venue, by all means. Drinking in the out the trunk of the parking lot of the venue is just a bridge too far for me. That's just college. That's That's too much.

00:01:24 Jordan: And I the place is like overpriced. that's kind of it's kind of valid because it should be should be going up sometimes.

00:01:32 Darius: No, I'm not I'm not shooting liquor in the parking lot of the venue to save. I just I know I'm not doing it and people can call me bougie. They can call me whatever they need to call me. I'm not doing it. I just that is that is beneath A gentleman of my stature. I'm not doing it. Not drinking alcohol in the parking lot. I mean, you can go.

00:01:58 Jordan: That's funny.

00:01:58 Darius: There's an Applebee's across the street. You can hit that. You can pre-game at the all of that's fair game.

00:02:04 Jordan: Yeah.

00:02:05 Darius: She was like, well, you know, that's why you get a flask. And I'm like, mama.

00:02:12 Jordan: Okay, so I know exactly what and who you're talking about.

00:02:17 Darius: It's like flask, be a lady. Are you using a flask? Oh my God.

00:02:25 Jordan: Well, okay, so.

00:02:26 Darius: You're drinking corn whisker, corn liquor out of a flask.

00:02:30 Jordan: So if it's for like pre-game for like an event that doesn't have liquor.

00:02:36 Darius: Okay.

00:02:37 Jordan: You know what I'm saying? Like if you're going to like a wedding and then, you know what I'm saying? That's kind of customary. I think that was definitely one of the events that, because I know you're talking about that we did that.

00:02:52 Darius: Okay, one thing, how much of A buzz do you need to catch where just going from the crib isn't enough? Like, okay, we used to do it to where, all right, the club is 10 minutes down the crib. We gonna take a shot literally as I'm closing the door and locking it.

00:03:08 Jordan: Right.

00:03:08 Darius: I really need a shot in the parking lot after that. We straight. Like I caught my buzz.

00:03:12 Jordan: I'm good. So for this situation, if I'm talking to referencing the specific event that we were at, or one of the events that we were at, it was, we were, the weddings were out of town. So we were not home. So we drove there the day of, get there, change, shower, dress, whatever. Then you head to the venue and then you just kind of, if they had it on, that was how that came about. It was not, it was going to like, The club.

00:03:44 Darius: She didn't tie this to no specific event. She this seemed like her modus operandi. And it very well could be.

00:03:52 Jordan: It very well could be. I might even pretend like that's not a possibility.

00:03:57 Darius: I just, I was a bit flabbergasted at the whole.

00:04:04 Jordan: So how did it come about? What was the context of the, you asked them or they asked you like what?

00:04:09 Darius: She asked me what the conversation Okay, so it was like, it started with a touchdown in a new city. She runs errands. And I'm like, I don't really run errands when I touchdown in a new city.

00:04:27 Jordan: You do it before you get there.

00:04:28 Darius: Even before I get there or whatever. And she was like, what do you need bottled water? And I was like, okay, I can see division for that. Normally, I use the bottled water from the hotel, but that's cool. And I was like, buy liquor for the hotel room, especially if I'm just touching down for a few days. I end up just throwing that liquor out because.

00:04:45 Jordan: Right.

00:04:47 Darius: It's not like you're just sitting in the room drinking until you go out at night. You're moving around during the daytime too. And you just, I've tried it. You buy the two bottles of liquor, you buy the 12 pack of beer and it's day-to-day you have to pack up to leave and it's three, four.

00:05:00 Jordan: And then you just have a bunch of **** that you can't do.

00:05:02 Darius: Can't get rid of. Cause you moved around, you wake up, you might have a little shot with your breakfast, but then you outside and it's like, I'm not going back to the hotel room to take a shot. So you end up just wasting that ****. And she was like, that's why you get a flask. And I was like, time out. What are we talking about, man? You have a flask? I was like, okay. Then I just, I exaggerated. I took a little far. I'd be like, you in the parking lot drinking cheap liquor and burping and rolling into the venue with your overalls. Be a legity. No, that was, she did not say that part. I made-up that part.

00:05:46 Jordan: No, for sure.

00:05:46 Darius: She did bring up the flask. And I was taken aback.

00:05:51 Jordan: Yeah, I've seen the flask. I've probably used it. That's funny though. No, that was that was more so like, we're heading into the wedding or something like that. Quick one. In my experience. Yeah.

00:06:07 Darius: You ever been out with a young lady and she broke out a flask?

00:06:13 Jordan: Yeah. Yes. Okay, wait. No, they were friends. So that didn't count. But no, not like on a date.

00:06:31 Darius: No, Be like, is everything okay at home? Why are we? Why do you have hard liquor in your purse? I drink as much as next man, but I don't need it. Like it's not like chapstick. I don't grab it.

00:06:48 Jordan: Yeah. Grab your keys.

00:06:49 Darius: Grab your flask, grab your chapstick, grab your wallet. You hit the door. That's a little much.

00:06:53 Jordan: That's a little much. The mobile pregames, those were not mobile. That's poor choice of words. The pregames where you had kept something **** in the car, that was like college, like shortly after undergrad type **** where you were going into clubs broke and you know, yeah.

00:07:11 Darius: I agree. But at our big age, I think it's a big deal to be shooting liquor in the parking lot. Did you watch the halftime show?

00:07:21 Jordan: Yes, I did. I did not watch the Klan show.

00:07:27 Darius: Y'all gave them more attention than they even got on naturally. Right. See, you mentioned that before Bad Bunny. You're part of the problem.

00:07:35 Jordan: No, I'm kidding. No, I watched it. I watched the halftime show. I loved it. I thought it was great. I think one thing that people forget is that music is universal. That's like one of the only things that music and food are literally the only universal things on the planet besides the need for oxygen. And so I feel like you don't have to know the words to kind of understand the sentiment or, understand like the spirit of the song, That last song you've sung, I don't know, look at the words you were saying, but it felt like it was about joy and unity. And that was the vibe that I got. And that was the spirit of the performance. You know what I'm saying? So I thought it was great. I love the homage he paid through, you know, as he literally took you through the history of Puerto Rico with the sugar plantations and the bodegas and the like the hood mechanics, basically, you know what I'm saying? Even there was the one little store had the sign said, we accept EBT. Yes, that is important. You know what I mean?

00:08:34 Darius: Ricky Markin made a good point on Twitter. She said that he understood that it would be much harder for people to follow you just pacing around on stage in a foreign language. So he kind of visually told a story. And I thought that was an astute observation.

00:08:51 Jordan: Yes, absolutely. Even, you know, everybody noticed the Spike Lee Dolly shot where he's kind of coming up, you know, the famous scene from Malcolm X right before he is killed. I thought that was awesome. Ricky Martin was there. That was great. Great to see him. Still doing it after what, 20, 25 years. Cardi B was there. Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba. Hello. Great job as always. I loved Lady Gaga's performance too. The salsa rendition of what's the song called Die Without You or something like that. I forget what it's called, but I do love that song. I love that song with her and Bruno Mars. That definitely wound up on my Apple Replay playlist of last year. Yeah, I thought it was incredible. I thought it was great. I love that he didn't speak a lick of English other than God bless America. I love the flags at the end. And then the, I believe it was the Martin Luther King quote that he had posted in the back behind him.

00:09:53 Darius: Something like that.

00:09:54 Jordan: Right, yes. Only thing stronger than hate is love or only love can drive out hate one of the two. Yeah, I thought it was great. It was awesome. It was fun to watch. It just, it reminded me of like, all the, in school, kind of the fun **** you would do in Spanish class and stuff like that, where, they have the pinatas and, they, the Moroccos, not Moroccos. Wow. What are they called? I'm like, ****.

00:10:24 Darius: But it just seemed like the Mariachi Band things.

00:10:27 Jordan: Yeah, no, the, it's like got like, it's like. shaped like a cylinder and it's got beat like something like little beads in it and you shake it and it makes the sound. I can't remember. I know what you're talking about. I think that's it. But yeah, it just reminded me of like the culture we were supposed to as children and when we were taught back in the time in this country where it was okay to celebrate other cultures. It just reminded me of that was the best of what we are supposed to be. So I thought it was great. I loved it.

00:10:56 Darius: Well, you can't say it was okay to celebrate other cultures and performing at the Super Bowl. I think I think that's I don't know if there's any bigger stage. Yeah, but no, I was a bit of I say like a halftime show moderate. Like I definitely think it was a bit odd to choose an act who performs entirely in a foreign language. But like at the end of the day, it's a 15 minute concert. Like, right, I survived. I enjoyed it, actually. And at the end of the day, every single thing doesn't have to be programmed in my sense for everybody. It's fine. It's a 15 minute concert. Part of the problem with the world today is that no one ever everything is algorithmically programmed to you. And so no one's ever exposed to things outside of their, you know, sphere of influence. And so it's good that we still have these things because there's a few songs of his that I added to my playlist that would have never came across anything. And, you know, because I'm not exactly listening to Spanish music, so Puerto Rican rappers, if you will. I don't know. Yeah. But it is in Spanish. So yeah, I was exposed to something I had not seen before. I enjoyed it. And that's the part of that's what's, you know, a lot of people didn't know who Usher was until he hit that stage. And so that was a chance for something that was near and dear to me as I was coming up to be exposed to people who weren't exposed to it before. And so that's what it's one of our last pieces of monoculture left as a Super Bowl. And it was good, at least for me to at least for everybody to be exposed to something that they were previously unaware of. I do want to say one thing, though.

00:12:35 Jordan: Yeah.

00:12:38 Darius: One of my favorite internet bits is people act like things, a lot of things people think are very unique to their culture are quite universal. My favorite thing is like, everyone thinks that occasionally gathering together and having a huge decadent meal is like very specific to Italians would be like, no, in Italy, in Italian families, we get together once a month and have a giant pasta meal. And it's like, yeah, we eat Sunday dinner, soul food. Like people do that. Mexican people do it too. Like it's not, like everyone does this.

00:13:10 Jordan: Like people have families and communities.

00:13:13 Darius: Yeah, like, and so like people were like, oh my God, he had the kids sleeping at the wedding and he woke them up and they were just like, yo, it was so Latino that a kid like passed out at a wedding while the adults party. And I'm like, That's at black weddings. That's at white weddings. That's at every, yeah. It's every, the kids are at the weddings and they're not up, they're just sleeping. Yeah, they're sleeping wherever they lay because they're going.

00:13:34 Jordan: If the kids are at church, they're asleep.

00:13:36 Darius: Correct. Like kids just be sleeping because parents have to, they can't, you know, leave them at home anymore. So I just love that because you'll see like Italian people do the same thing with large dinners and be like, no, man, in Italian families, we get together at grandma's house and she cooks a big dinner. And I'm like, oh. Oh, what's that like? No one ever does that. That's strictly for Mexican people. I never heard that.

00:13:59 Jordan: I don't know what that is.

00:14:01 Darius: You had something you wanted to throw on me, man. What's up?

00:14:05 Jordan: Yeah, so I had a suggestion for you because we were talking about baby names Saturday, and I wanted to get your thoughts on Darquavius.

00:14:17 Darius: So what started is like, it's kind of a bit, but it's kind of not. But not.

00:14:24 Jordan: That's horrifying.

00:14:27 Darius: The girl Dariana and the boy Dariana are real names. Dari Andro and Dari Andra are kind of like 65% serious. Got you. Dariante is, I'm not really into that one. Darianthalist though. That's the full art role.

00:14:48 Jordan: That's trash. That's yeah, that's a Game of Thrones **** right there. That's you name a ******* dragon.

00:14:55 Darius: I forgot how that conversation. Well, yeah, that conversation came about.

00:15:01 Jordan: But I think I could do the math.

00:15:03 Darius: No, I'm not breaking news on the pod that I'm aware of. But no, I know, I know, I know. No, I think I thought like, you can't have a girl junior. So and I never wanted to have a boy junior because it's just it's too much to, you know, too much pressure on the kid. So Dariandro. I'm sorry, Dariano and Darianta are gonna be the boy and the girl name. You have any names in mind?

00:15:36 Jordan: I mean, I like, I mean, obviously I do like J names. I do like unisex names. I always love, I always love the name Jamie for some reason. I think I'd maybe give like my first name as a kid's middle name, something like that. Let's see what other any other names I have and I've thought about. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't really given it too much thought. I mean, I think if I was like any relationship, I probably would have given it had some had some more answers for you. But just off the top of my head, I haven't really given it a whole lot of thought. Yeah, I don't know. I hope that's not something that I have to think about at least for another three to five years, Lord willing.

00:16:24 Darius: I had a joke I got to tell you off air. But no, I've just, I've had these names for like 10 years, Dariano and Dariano. And those are locked in because, you should be able to name your progeny and I get first dibs on the names. And those are going to be the two names, boy or girl.

00:16:46 Jordan: Interesting. Yeah, I haven't thought about it. I thought about how many and what, if I could have Mike pick like what I want, two boys, 2 girls, like that sort of thing, I don't know. I think somewhere between 2:00 and 4:00 would be great, depending on my financial status at the time. I don't know.

00:17:09 Darius: It's actually, what I've heard from people with big families is it actually gets cheaper the more you have because you have to, you already own so much of the stuff. Right. And so it is actually easier to scale up food for people versus cooking for one is actually the most expensive way to cook unless you buy a vacuum sealer like me and have a freezer full of random things that are labeled and frozen in vacuum sealers.

00:17:35 Jordan: Yeah. And I think also, I feel like everyone, for the most part, the people that I know, the amount of children they had are close, is always close to the number of siblings they had growing up.

00:17:44 Darius: Yeah.

00:17:45 Jordan: Like my parents, My dad had four brothers, has four brothers my mom has two sisters and a brother, obviously, but they have four kids, their parents all had lots of. not lots of siblings, but a good amount of siblings, So also twins are in my family. So odds are one of my me or one of my siblings probably have a twin. So set of twins. So yeah.

00:18:11 Darius: Well, that got that got deep out of nowhere. So yeah, we got our baby names. We got our size of our families. And I want I'm, I'm kind of trolling on the, the, the tays and the Andros, but the right, the honors and the are knows that's what those are **** *** names and the dairy is good to know straight.

00:18:34 Jordan: I will go ahead and get started working on that. When I buy the Amazon, the Amazon onesies.

00:18:41 Darius: There you go. There you go. I saw this online. And as you've seen this often where people are like, don't sell grandma's house. grandma buys a house. It's in the family. Soul food, basically. You've seen the movie Granny dies. The house is split between the siblings. What are your thoughts on selling Granny's house?

00:19:07 Jordan: I think I'm I think I'm always pro keeping it. So we don't have a lot of, you know, We have a lot of traditions in our culture, but we don't have a lot of heirlooms. We don't have a lot of things to pass down more often than not. And I do think having some sort of central place for everyone to come to is important. And actually, I was just watching, I think it was the button pod maybe a couple of days ago where they were talking about how For whatever reason, even if the family is not and the grandmother is not like the stereotypical matriarch for whatever reason, usually when a grandmother passes, the family kind of splits up. And I feel like it's easier to prevent that to happen if you have somewhere central where everybody can be like, hey, let's get together for this Sunday dinner. Let's get together for this cousin's giving, you know, that sort of thing. Yeah, I'm just really big on like keepsakes. I have, a lot of my grandparents, most of my grandparents have passed away and I have something, that I keep from all of them, so if I could have kept, their house, I think I probably would have, I would have fought for that.

00:20:22 Darius: I guess my question is always, who's going to stay in there? Who's going to take care of it? Because It's not free to just own a home. Like there's taxes, there's insurance, there's maintenance. If no one's living in it, you have to winterize the thing. And also, how much is the home worth? Because let's just say, you know, you know, you just say you got four siblings. So you has a 25% stake in this home and it's worth, you know, half a million dollars, 400, $500,000. It's a lot to ask to just pass on 125,000 each cash.

00:20:59 Jordan: That's true.

00:21:00 Darius: Like they lived their whole life there.

00:21:04 Jordan: Yeah.

00:21:06 Darius: I think people often overestimate how much like they're going to time they're going to spend there. Like you're really going to go to this abandoned home and eat Sunday dinner every day. Like no, who's going to live there? Who wants to live there though? Like you're grown. You're going to start your family. You're going to start having your kids. Who's going to be the sibling or the child who just stays in Granny's house?

00:21:26 Jordan: I was thinking someone was living there, so.

00:21:28 Darius: But who would do that? Who wants to put their life on freeze while they.

00:21:32 Jordan: If people are in the city and someone like does live there, like, I mean, in theory, she's having a caretaker anyway, so probably someone probably is living there. So in that situation, I guess. But I mean, that's a good point. If everyone's in other cities and states, Okay, logistically, obviously, that's one thing. But if we have the option and you are local, everyone's local, I think that makes more sense. I think it makes more sense to keep the house and the family.

00:22:02 Darius: Even if you're local, if someone's not actually living in that home, it's a lot of work to maintain, to keep. And, life be lifeing. It's hard enough for people to make time for the things that they have to do in their home. And so now you got to tell me that we have to, amongst 4 siblings, let's say y'all all live in the same city. We have to coordinate a maintenance schedule. Okay. Oh, now y'all falling out because so-and-so ain't been taking care of the, you know, didn't clean the ducks last week. You're responsible for mowing the lawn. Okay. Well, who called the person who's doing the siding? And it's just You're adding a large plate of new decisions you have to make in addition to all four of you branching out and living your life and starting your families. And it's like, you could do that or you could sell it and y'all could all get some cash and have them. I mean, the memories are forever. You can't take the memories, you know?

00:22:49 Jordan: No, for sure. Yeah.

00:22:50 Darius: You got the pictures, you got the stories, you know, you do one last laugh in that ************ like a sitcom. And I just, I am not pro or against it. I think people, what I'm against is people finger wagging and chastising those who do decide to sell. Because it's not as easy, especially if you don't have someone that's willing to live there. Now, if you got someone, like if you watch Soul Food, Bird and Limb, they lived at Big Mama's house. And so no one's breaking into a home that's occupied, well, they can, but you know, it's less likely to be, you're less likely to deal with vandals and burglars and And this, that, and the third. And there's someone in there to make sure that the pipes are, that you're turning the heat on in the winter. Cause it's easy to think you won't forget until it's ******* 25 degrees and you got your kids in bed and you lay down and you're like, **** I got to go to Big Mom's house and turn the heat on. Yeah, that's true.

00:23:45 Jordan: That's a good point.

00:23:46 Darius: It's easy to think you better remember all these things.

00:23:48 Jordan: Yeah, like if it's a situation where like this Christmas where the mom was kind of getting older and the kids were starting to move out and stuff and everything about selling the drive home, there's not the house, I believe, but and it was only the one kid that obviously stays, always stays home that was kind of taking care of everything and they wanted to sell in that situation. I would, I would probably back the, I would back the sibling who stayed. So it's a sticky situation. It really depends on all, there's a lot of variables at play here, but I think if everyone's central and someone is living there or can live there or wants to live there, I think they should have the option to. But honestly, I never really had the stereotypical like grandparent experience. A lot of this, like I haven't really dealt with a lot of this kind of stuff.

00:24:34 Darius: We had Big Mama's house. You know, it was on a slide. It was on a hill in Vicksburg, Mississippi. None of none of my mom's siblings live in Mississippi. Live there. And the city actually was going to, like we bought it out. Like there's no, we didn't really have a choice. And so you got you. It wasn't worth much. They got a little, they got a little check out of it. But you know, it's just, I think it's easy to have these like hard and fast rules when they're in theory. But like when it's when it's in practice, you actually have to make these decisions and you're like, dude, you know, you got a family. I got a family. You know, our sister moved to New York. You know, she ain't think about this, you know, and it's just it's me and you. And so after baseball practice and after making sure Junior's homework is done, This is something else I got to do every day. it's a lot to ask, I just, I think people should be able to make those decisions stands judgment. I don't really have a hard, fast yes or no. I think each situation is unique to that family. And I don't like when people be like, don't steal Big Mama house. It's like, well, you don't know what they got going on.

00:25:44 Jordan: What they got going on? Do they need the money? You know what I'm saying? That sort of thing. Yeah, in that situation, I feel you. So I'm not big into telling people what to do. I'm more so like, if it makes sense, if we can, let's try to. If not, we do what we could at least.

00:25:59 Darius: What I will say is that if there is one sibling that stays there and takes care of the house, their chunk should be a bit higher than equal share. So, you know, if it's four siblings instead of 25, 25, 25, or 4 25s, it would be, I don't know. The sibling that actually lives there has like 30 and the rest split is 70 or whatever.

00:26:19 Jordan: You have the 20%.

00:26:21 Darius: You get actually a little slice because you you know, there's a living there is just a higher burden and a higher responsibility to take care of it than just the person who drives by and make sure the roof got blown off.

00:26:33 Jordan: Correct.

00:26:34 Darius: It's Valentine's Day. We want to do something for the pod for Valentine's Day. What you got?

00:26:39 Jordan: Yeah. So, I mean, we're big music lovers and we haven't done really a music segment or topic in a while. Kind of put the Sunday dinner segment on hold. So So I wanted to ask, just think about like kind of what are some of your favorite love songs of all time or what do you view as the greatest love songs of all time?

00:26:58 Darius: The greatest is.

00:27:01 Jordan: Or even just like dark horse songs that maybe people don't consider.

00:27:06 Darius: All right. My favorite one no one ever talks about is Asley Brothers Tears. It's on, I forget which album it's on, but What do you say? He closes out the second verse with, I used to think that I knew love and what you love with me, but now I know that I didn't know much because you taught me everything. That's a great line. He starts the third verse, I think, with, oh, God so loved the world that he blessed us all with you. And then he gave me a heart and I'm giving it to you. Also a great line. So that would probably be my dark horse one that people don't talk about often. So what is your dark horse love song?

00:27:46 Jordan: Let's see, I got a few here. I would probably go... I'd probably go Let Me Love You by Sinead Harnett.

00:28:04 Darius: I never heard that one. I don't know who that is.

00:28:06 Jordan: It's like 7 or 7 or 8 years old. It's like relatively recent. No, that song is beautiful. It's got like that kind of 90s R&B feel to it. That **** hits like just don't ever listen to it. If you are like actually going through active heartbreak and you have your ex's phone number, just don't do that. You know, it's like don't drink and drive like.

00:28:30 Darius: Well, yeah. Don't don't drink and listen to this song and text and you know. I got you.

00:28:38 Jordan: Yeah, that's a lot to unpack there. No, I said Drake and Drive, not Drink and Drive.

00:28:43 Darius: Okay. I thought you said Drink and Drive. What's her name?

00:28:47 Jordan: Sinead Harnett. S-I-N-E-A-D Harnett. Let me send it to you.

00:28:55 Darius: All right. What else?

00:29:01 Jordan: Let's see what else I got here. Can you stay in the rain? New edition. That's one of my favorite love songs of all time. I feel like no one ever talks about that when they talk about great love songs.

00:29:10 Darius: Is that a love song?

00:29:12 Jordan: Is it? I view it as a love song.

00:29:14 Darius: Sunny days. Everybody loves them. I thought the rain was a bad time, though.

00:29:22 Jordan: Yeah, but I mean, their bad times are going to bad times are inevitable. And you need someone who has the intestinal fortitude and like, you know.

00:29:30 Darius: On a perfect day, I know that I could count on you, but that's not possible. Tell me, can you weather the storm? Because I need somebody who's going to count on me. Yeah, I mean, it's not the most romantic, but it is a lovely love song.

00:29:41 Jordan: Fair. Yeah, I think I'd like, I'd like, as a, you know, moody poet, I do love the darker love songs, some of the sadder love songs. Yeah, plus I think like, it always makes me think this thing I heard somebody say once that they're talking about love and relationships. They're saying you need to find someone who suffers well. Like you need to find someone who knows how to handle adversity. You know what I'm saying? Are they going to be with you during grief? Like this person is supposed to love you through your best and your darkest days. Like in theory, this person is supposed to be by your side, like when your parents died and **** like that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like that's real, real heavy ****. And if they can't handle something significantly less than that, then, you know, what chances do you have of making it through the rain?

00:30:24 Darius: That's fair. Okay. I mean, yeah, Can You Stand the Rain is a love song. I got Prince's Adore on here. Great line, loves to weak to define, just what you mean to me. It's a millennial remaster, we'll call Miguel's Adorn, which is, you know, same way that the stars adorn the sky, same way my whole world's in your eyes, gotta love those lines. To me, it's Obviously music is mostly about how it makes you feel, but when it comes to true love songs, the lyric, the songwriting is really what carries for me. So how about you, man? What else you got on that list over there?

00:31:10 Jordan: Let's see, I got 1000 years, Christina Perri. You ever heard that song?

00:31:17 Darius: No.

00:31:17 Jordan: That's crazy. What? That song is amazing. I've died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid. I've loved you for 1000 years. I love that song. That's a beautiful one. 1000 miles, Vanessa Carlton. I know you know that one.

00:31:34 Darius: Yeah, I've seen white girls. Shout out Terry Crews.

00:31:40 Jordan: Shout out Terry Crews, man.

00:31:41 Darius: She would walk 1000 miles.

00:31:44 Jordan: Yeah, I love that song.

00:31:46 Darius: I prefer love songs that make love sound easy. So Interesting.

00:31:50 Jordan: Okay.

00:31:51 Darius: Be it out. Love Ballad by LTD. I've always said that would be the song that's played on my first dance at my wedding. Lovers come and lovers go. They're not there when you hold me and tell me how much you care. So shout out Jeffrey Osborne.

00:32:11 Jordan: One of the greatest.

00:32:13 Darius: To bring something that was created after I was born. How about The Point of It All by Anthony Hamilton?

00:32:18 Jordan: I like Obie Boozy, that's a good one. I love that one. Yeah, I wanted to go with more modern because I figured everybody, you know, everybody's going to do it, like try a little tenderness and, you know.

00:32:28 Darius: I like to think that outside of Miguel's Adorn, I've pretty, I've stayed Kind of sort of. I mean, the point of it all Anthony Appleton, but yeah, I got, I listen to old people music, man. Anybody that started singing after 2000 is real hit or miss for me. What else you got?

00:32:47 Jordan: The song called Game of Love. It's probably close to damn near 30 years old now, which is crazy. By Michelle Branch and it has Santana on the guitar. That **** goes hard as ****. I'm trying to let you see. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. It started with the kiss, we'll wheel up to that. Damn, I can't remember the rest. But I don't know, I love that song. I used, my dad used to play it all the time when he'd like take, pick me
