DON'T BREAK YOUR OWN HEART | 85 SOUTH SHOW | 03.13.26

The hosts strongly advise against asking a romantic partner about their past sexual partners or history. They argue that men are generally not emotionally 'built for the answer' to such questions, and seeking this information will inevitably lead to emotional pain and regret. The core message is to focus on the present relationship and avoid creating unnecessary distress by digging into a past that doesn't involve the current dynamic.

The hosts repeatedly state, 'You are not built for the answer of that question,' and 'Don't not ask that girl who she [expletive]. It's closer than you think.' They emphasize, 'Don't break your own heart.'

A critical piece of relationship advice is never to go through a partner's phone unless one is fully prepared to leave the relationship. The hosts assert that if a person feels the need to look, it's because they suspect something is there, and they will likely find it. Without an exit strategy, discovering infidelity or other upsetting information only leads to homelessness, emotional distress, and a lack of recourse.

The hosts advise, 'If you think you need to look in that phone, don't do it.' They elaborate, 'If you are ready to go through that phone, pack your [expletive] before you do it.' They warn against being 'homeless and you throw up on your sister' after finding out.

The hosts express deep admiration for battle rap, highlighting the intelligence, lyrical complexity, and performance skills required. They discuss specific battle rappers and their unique styles, emphasizing the mental agility needed to construct intricate rhymes and remember long verses while delivering them with impactful stage presence. The evolution of battle rap from raw street encounters to a more theatrical, character-driven art form is also noted.

One host remarks, '[Expletive] be smart as hell, boy. They be putting that [expletive] together, bro. It's a style.' They discuss Tech 9's unique style and the importance of 'selling' the performance, not just having good bars.

The conversation shifts to a detailed, localized breakdown of the distinct social and economic characteristics of various Atlanta-area counties and neighborhoods. They describe Cobb County as having a 'scarier' side with prevalent drug activity (meth, fentanyl) and property crime, contrasting it with 'safe' parts like Vinings. Clayton County is depicted as having strict probation officers, while the East and West sides of Atlanta are portrayed as two 'different worlds' with unique social dynamics, with the East side being more 'action-packed' and focused on money.

One host states, 'Actworth ain't no hoe, bro. Soon as it get dark, that [expletive] wide open, bro. Them methheads and them Jay's out there.' They also note, 'It's two different worlds in one world' when comparing the East and West sides of Atlanta.
