-I can't wait to watch the episodes when they come.
Like, I'm going to be -- like, I'm a fan of Kevin Gates, also.
So I like to make sure, if I do my best here,
it's going to look even better when I see it on camera.

-See how she burning longer today than she did yesterday.
She only burn as long as she need to.
This the "Kevin Gates Helpline." I'm Kevin Gates.
This is by best friend, OG Boobie Black.
Today, what we're going to be doing
is taking calls from people all over the world,
and we're going to be lending them our love,
our knowledge, and our wisdom,
helping them throughout whatever hardships
that they may be encountering.
-Yeah, man, smile. [ Laughs ]
-He's going for distance. He's going for speed.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Claps ] Who we got next on the line?
-Oh, man, this, this a long one. We got a Sarah from Canada.
-Oh, Canadian. -Yes, indeed.
-[ Laughs ]
Put them through.
[ Dial tone ]
What's happening, Sarah?
You on the phone with Kevin and Boobie.
-Okay, then, well, yeah.
Me and my boyfriend, we're, like, in an open relationship.
We like to go out, have fun, hook up with other people.
Watch the other person with another person...
-Yes, Lord. -...vice versa.
But, lately, like, it's just been really hard for him, like,
keeping his erection when its just me and him being intimate.
So, it's like his dick won't stay hard
as opposed to when he is, like, watching me do something
with somebody or I'm watching him.
-Oh. -So it's just, like,
I don't know, it's like...
-Oh, I know what it is. So, do you all have sex a lot?
-Mm, yes. -Alright, well, what it is
is you know how if you do something every day,
you kind of lose the excitement, it becomes regular.
It really would be healthy for him also if he could start
practicing semen retention, like, not masturbating
and not having sex for maybe two weeks.
So, that mean, like, every two weeks, y'all have sex,
then go another two weeks and then have sex.
And then what will happen is, with you and him as a couple,
you'll begin to experience intimacy without sex.
-Yeah, okay. -And once you discipline
yourself like that, because I, too, had experienced
that at one time, because I was just --
This was in my younger years when I was maybe,
like 15 and 16, I just wanted to
fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck every day, all day,
and it became, like, it was almost like robotic.
The passion wasn't there anymore, but I noticed, like,
when I would go a long time without doing it,
then when I would have sex, it would be more passionate,
I would keep an erection because I'm engaged,
I'm completely engaged,
because it's not something that I do every day.
-Okay. -Yeah, I agree with him,
because me, as a man,
I understand that cycle, too, you know what I'm saying?
Just constantly having sex over and over and over
and over and over again, it, you know,
it becomes this nothing.
-Yeah, sounds good.
-But blessings on your journey.
-All right.
-I like her.
-Being open with sex is starting to be a normal thing now.
At one time... -It was taboo.
-Look at all the phone calls we getting about,
"Yeah, I had a open relationship."
-I'm going to be honest.
This is something crazy. I'm just speaking for me.
-Yeah. -Since I've been practicing,
like, semen retention and really disciplining myself,
I'm talking about me and my wife
very seldomly we even have oral sex with one another
'cause we experience intimacy without sex.
She being in my presence, that woman is just a waterfall.
-Everything, yeah. -You know what I'm saying?
So, we experience a greater level of intimacy...
-Yeah. -...through depriving
ourselves of sex.
-I done heard you talk about that a lot, but I never did --
I never did try to do that.
I never did.
I'm thinking about that's something
that I might have to do.

[ Speaking indistinctly ]
Say, Boobie, who we got next, baby?
-Oh, man, we got Lauren from New Jersey on the line.
What's happening?
-Put her through.
[ Dial tone ]
-Lauren, what's happening?
You're on the phone with Kevin Gates and Boobie.
-Wow, what's happening with you, Lauren?
How you doing today? What you got going on?
-Hi, Kevin. My problem is a little embarrassing.
I have a lot of trouble waking up in the morning.
Like, no matter what time I go to sleep,
I just cannot wake up, and I have so many things
going on, and if I was able to wake up earlier,
I know I'd be able to get so much more done
and be so much more productive, but, like,
I just can't function.
I don't know what to do.
-I go through that same problem.
I swear I go through that same problem.
And everybody that's around me, even Kevin, could tell you this.
I have the most annoying-est phone.
My phone has the most annoying-est ring
in the whole room, and the reason why I have it
on my phone, because I done missed
a lot of flights sleeping late.
I done have missed a lot of good things sleeping late.
I done missed out on a lot of people sleeping late.
-I used to wake up late do to over-eating
and go to my body being exhausted, but I noticed
when I eat earlier, maybe, like, 6:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m.,
and I don't eat anything after 7:00 --
I set that as a rule of thumb.
When I lay down, I can get straight up in the morning
because my food is already digested.
I get more accomplished than most people do all day
'cause I'm up from 2:00 a.m., I workout, I come home,
take my children to school, then I go hiking.
Then after that, I go take another shower,
go to the studio, and it's just when I met with it,
I noticed when I changed my lifestyle,
everything around me changed.
-This is more than I could have ever expected
in such great unexpect-- like, this --
The advice that you gave me, I've never heard it before
and kind of how changing your diet can really just change
everything about how you wake up and how you take on your day.
So it's amazing. Thank you so much.
-Well, thank you so much. -Bye-bye.
-She can't wake up in the morning. You know why?
'Cause she sleeps hard.
-I fuck with her. -Yeah, she sleep hard.
-She used to be exactly who I was.
-Word. Yeah.
-I was thinking I was doing all the right things, but I wasn't.
-Mm-hmm. -You know what's crazy?
-What? -My body naturally get up at,
like, 2:00 a.m. every morning. -Mine too.
-There's like, something I just noticed,
my stomach was growling.
When my stomach growl,
that don't be that I'm hungry.
That be my body digesting food.
-Food. -But once you calm the mind,
the body will follow.
-Right.
♪♪
-Who we got on the line?
-Let me look through my Rolodex and see what we got going on.
Kayla from New York.
-I got a sister named Kayla.
-[ Chuckles ] -Put her through.
[ Dial tone ]
Kayla, what's happening?
You're on the phone with Kevin and Boobie.
-What's happening with you, Kayla? What the deal is?
What you got going on today?
-Alright, so this just happened.
On Martin Luther King Day, I was, like, super high,
and then one friend was like, "Oh, I feel like after
high school, people don't really care about it any more."
I shared this comment, and then my best friend comes on my page,
and she's like, "Well, a lot of people forget holidays.
What does it mean by optional?
Veterans Day is optional. Presidents Day is optional.
So she and I get into an argument that blows up
into like her personal problems and how her world is
kind of falling apart, and I didn't know this.
-Yeah. -So she blocks me.
So I was like really hurt, bro,
I was really, really, really hurt.
I'm thinking, like, big picture.
That just -- it really hurt my feelings. I don't know.
-Yeah. So, have y'all started back talking?
-Yeah, and I feel like I can't really be as genuine
in our conversations, because I felt
she should apologize first.
-If I were you, I would bring it up again,
and everything that you told to me I would tell her,
because you have to cleanse your heart
and you got to also let her know that I'm not responsible
for the issues that you're dealing with.
-Right. -Now, as your friend,
I can help you get through them, but if you don't tell me
anything, I'm not going to know, I'm not a psychic.
-Right. -You know what I'm saying?
And then, I'm gonna be honest with you,
the things that you don't need in your life,
they remove themselves.
-You can't put too much of your energy toward worrying about
what other people do when it comes to that person
doing something to you.
Do you think you know what the reason is
for y'all talking about Martin Luther King Day?
Or something like that.
Or maybe it could be something else?
-This is not the first time.
I told her like some years ago, like,
I'm not an emotional punching bag,
and I really thought she heard me.
I see it as more of a pattern that she's a sensitive person
who puts her issues deep down inside
and then she blows up later.
How do people navigate differing opinions
when loyalty and friendship are so tricky?
-Loyalty is overrated, if you ask me.
Like, all that loyalty, yeah, I'd rather be loyal to myself,
because me being loyal to myself,
I'm not going to put myself in uncomfortable situations.
-Right. Will do. -Alright, thank you.
-Thanks guys.
-I thought she wasn't gonna never hang the phone up.
I can't -- you want me to agree with you and uphold you
and deny you?
I can't do it, I'm sorry. -Yeah, but sometimes --
-This the Help Line. You heard? I can't do it.
-Sometimes you have people that don't have nobody to talk to,
so when they do talk to us, you know, like,
Kevin Gates and OG Boobie Black, there's no reason to hang up.
-She wasn't getting the answers she wanted.
-She wanted.
But this the Help Hotline, and we helped her.
-Yeah, we did. -She got a smile
on her face right now. -She did.
We should have helped her off the phone a little earlier.
