In this episode, the Fellas discuss a social media post they came across posted by The Shade Room (#TSRGreatDebatez) that spoke to a "test" where a man asked a woman with whom he was in a relationship for $100 to determine what she would do and how she would respond. Her response was a string of inquiries about his need for the money, which he felt was inappropriate because he had planned an expensive trip for them that would have totaled much more than the money for which he asked. In his mind, the woman failed the test. The Fellas share their thoughts on the test itself, the couples' responses, and what came up for them as they processed it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-fellas-5/message
