In our second half of Grayson Marshall Jr.'s interview, we pick up the conversation discussing the topic of income. What happens when a woman earns more than her man? How does that make the man feel? Also, we're hearing so much about the emasculation of men, especially when it comes to African-American relationships. Who's at fault and is this a real thing? Finally, we discuss Grayson's opinion on whether a single mom can raise her son to be a man.  

Bonus: Guys, does your woman always have to bring her sexy? If she's all the way fine but wears "granny panties," then what? 

If you enjoyed Part 1, get ready for part two! You might need a vodka water to calm your nerves as you listen in.
