Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of The Black Effect
Podcast Network and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome to another episode of Reasonably Shady. I am Jiselle Bryant.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
What's up? What's up everyone? I'm Robin Dixon, Robin Dixie.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Thank you for being here with us once again. Yes,
we appreciate you as always as all that way, never ever, ever,
ever ever changed.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
No, our reasonably Shasters. Yes, we love them, love them
so much. Yeah, what's going on with peoplelue? Oh, let's
see shady moment?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yes of the week. Yeah, just happened. Yes, it did,
like over an hour ago a little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It was very shady. Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So you know, as we've shared, sometimes when we record,
we record two episodes at a time. Okay, so this
is the second one of our episodes.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Do we need to tell them all of that? No,
they don't need to know that, No, remain mysterious.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well, I think we said that in response to, like, like,
sometimes we can't really address certain things, We can't address
things in a timely manner because you know, just to
explain that, like sometimes we can't really address current events
because it right exactly, So that's why anyway, Okay, but yeah,
(01:32):
So while we were recording our previous episode, which you
heard last week, we were like eleven minutes into the show,
and we were like, you know, had good conversation, talked
about just the response from my announcement that I was leaving,
and blah blah blah ah this eleven now, Actually, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
We were probably like fourteen minutes into the.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Show, okay, And I looked down at our recorder and
it was on zero's yes all zeros, which is a
panic yes, and when that happens, that means it's not recording.
So I realized that our memory card was full, and
it was just a whole frantic panic because it's really
(02:17):
hard to like recreate what we've already talked.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
About, right, So we didn't want to lose that, right.
We didn't want to lose it.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Because when we talk, we're really talking, you know, it's
just very organic, it's very natural.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It's really hard to recreate that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And so fortunately I was able to check the card
and see, like, first I thought.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Like, oh my gosh, we didn't get any of it right, And.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm immediately like calling Taylor, who's our producer, and he
and he is like misterfix it with everything and I'm like,
walk us through this.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, yeah, So I found that we actually recorded eleven
minutes of the show and then the card was full
and it was stopped recording. So it was like, oh
my god, thank god. So at least we have these
eleven minutes. We don't have to we create what we
already did because it wouldn't have felt natural anymore. So
we were able to like save that, we were able
(03:05):
to clear the card off. I mean, it definitely pushed
our schedule back a little bit, and Jaselle's already like.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
So anyway, it was just like a big frantic moment.
But I want to like.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Shout out to Taylor because when you listen to the episode,
you guys will never know that happens. Ever, Like Taylor
is a magician. Yes, I tell you, there's sometimes we
might talk about something and we might be like, eh,
take that out, we need to take that out, and I'll,
you know, email Taylor and I'd be like, Taylor, can
you find a part where Jelle said something really.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Always me? Probably yes, always me, And I'm like take
it out right.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Take it out please, and he will take it out
and it will sound like it never happened.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, never happened.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He actually did that one of our Patreon our recent one.
Remember it was the thing that I told you that
we needed to to take out because it you know,
it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Really discussed or whatever you want to tell the people now.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
No, no, anyway, So when I listened to it, I
was like, I mean, seamless, seamless.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It was so crazy. I was like, Taylor is the
bomb and what he does.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
People would these production people they don't get the credit
because they're behind the scenes, you know, and not just
you know Taylor with the audio, but the crew that
works on any television show. They don't get the credit,
but they work so imagine and they work hard. Yes,
if you're not working hard, you need to leave.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So that was a shady moment.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It was very stressful and Giselle is like looking at
me like yet done.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yes, okay, So my shady moment. I was washing my hair.
I don't really do that that often, but I was
washing my hair in my house.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Myself do it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Often because like somebody, because you go to the hair slank.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, no, I just have dirty hair that too.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Anyway, washed my hair and it was drying up and
my daughter Grace calls me and she's like, I answer
the phone.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
My hair is like curly and just like big. She
answered the phone and.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
She's like, whoa, what is happening? And she proceeds to
tell me that my curl.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Pattern ain't right right, And I'm like.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
First of all, how can you look at somebody and
say that they're God given the curl pattern?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
It's not right. That is just rude. That is rude
and shady, right, And I was like, well, what do
you mean? She was like, it just don't look right.
You just and then she blamed it on me because
she said because I normally like have my hair like straightened,
then I totally ruined my curl pattern. Yes, and she's the.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Curl pattern queen, right, clearly right.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And I have a problem with it because God gave
me my little curls, right, leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So how do you feel about your curls?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So she's gonna come when she comes home for spring break,
I mean summer vacation.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
She's going she wants me to like wear my hair curly.
But it's a whole process.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
She got like twelve different products, right, and then she
got to run it through the whole from from the
roof to the tip.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yes, and it's a whole thing. It's a process. She
wants to walk me through that. She wants to do
it for you.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yes, Okay, tell me how that works out for you
because my curl pattern, Yeah, it is awful, Like.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, yeah, because we've been getting our hair straight.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Right, because we can we get it straightened. We have color,
and the color reallys it. Yeah, but I have like
different curl patterns in different parts of my hair. Yeah,
it's horrendous.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So I'm probably not gonna go through with this. Well
I want to.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I think you should, right, I think you should allow
her to try, okay and see what happens. But I
kind of think I don't know if yours can be
I don't. I don't know that you can do the
same thing that she does. No, because your hair is
not the same and my hair is older, right and
crunchy and brittle.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yes, and it's not.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But she's been wearing her hair curly because it's so
hot in Florida, right, And she does say it takes
more time and all that, but she loves it.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I feel like she was just.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Keeping it real with you, she will, Oh totally. And
so the shadiness is your curl pattern?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Oh, because mine is awful? Awful? Yeah, I hate it. Well,
it is what it is. Okay. So I wanted to
last week. I wanted to talk about Jamie Fox, and
we didn't get the opportunity. So have you seen Jamie
Fox order the chicken wings? No? Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Okay, So I don't know how this video got out,
but it's Jamie Fox ordering I guess for his family
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So he orders six hundred chicken wings.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh my gosh, do you know how expensive chicken wings
are these days?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I think Jamie could afford it, of course I can,
of course you can. What was happening? Was this a
family reunion? Okay, I'm trying to turn it up to Robinica.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Here two one hundred living pepper, bobecue wings. Two we'll
go ahead, and oh were coming, so we got it?
(08:36):
What else you got?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Oh my god, this is a wing stop. Yeah, he
ordered two hundred lemon pepper. He ordered like two hundred
hot and spicy and one hundred barbecue or something crazy. Insane.
That is insane.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I need to know what the occasion was but I
would love it if Jamie Fox called my job seeking
in order?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh yes, back to him, No, she didn't think it
was him what And that's why he kept saying like, oh,
you're gonna be surprised when I come up there and
get these wings.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Right. I'm sure he sends somebody else, but right, who
the hell?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And then wait a minute at the end, after he
ordered like six hundred wings, right, she said, okay, thank
you'll be ready for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Twenty minutes. Okay. That blew me.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So this particular wingstop has all of these wings just
ready to go twenty.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Minutes, twenty minutes. Well, I would think.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Six hundred wings is like their daily around wings.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Right there that they're apparently not they ready to whip
up six hundred wings in twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That's kind of scary. Why are you telling? Right?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That's really scary when you think about just food production is.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What the scary wast wingstop for me? But I'm just
I'm not gonna be shady. Now do you eat blueberries?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I do? Yeah? How many do you eat? So?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Like every day? So like to what did I eat
today today? I had blue berries in my yogurts.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah, I'll probably put like fifteen in it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Oh wow, that's a lot. That's good, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Because they Okay, so the doctor reveals that blueberries make
you smarter.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yes, so the extract or even the equivalent of one
couple of blueberries has improves your cognitive cognition. Cognitive cognitive cognitive,
your memory, your executive functioning. Multiple studies show for even
children and adults across your lifespan.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, if you eat.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Blueberries, okay, you're gonna be smart as hell. Okay, yes,
all right, I just know that blueberries are what they
call a superfood like it. They're very extremely healthy. They're
one of the fruits. I guess they're like low glass.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
They're a low glacemic fruit, you know, like watermelon and pineapple,
which has a lot of sugar. Blueberries is lower on
the glacemic index and it has tons of antioxidants.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yes, so I need to get some berries. Yeah, you
don't eat blueberry I mean not like that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I mean, if I'm if I'm out somewhere and whatever
I'm eating has blueberries in it, Okay, cool, But I'm
not like intentionally getting blueberry O.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
No, I intentionally get blueberries really, yes, and that is
like in my daily Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, but you but you walk around your house in circles.
So like that hasn't stopped you from doing that, Robin.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I know, I'm like, I didn't know about the cognitive benefits.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yes, because I can function it white reap them. Yet
what is it gonna kick?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
But right, I'm still waiting. I don't know, but I
don't but it well, it's gonna kick in. Oh lord,
I hope so oh my gosh. No, Actually the scary
part is, oh my gosh, what if I didn't eat blueberries?
What would my life be like?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Right? Right?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Look, watch out wand rob is just gonna be walking
around the whole yard in circles, okay, right, why gonna
be like out the wind?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Though, like Robin, what's wrong with you? I'll be a vegetable?
Oh my gosh, this is.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
But I do love the fact that you know, we
can pinpoint something to say, hey, that will help you.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Right, there's a direct connection. But you know, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I saw a story on the It like ran across
the bottom ticker of the screen and it said eating
junk food in your teenage years, Like eating a heavy, heavily.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Laden diet with junk.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Food or whatever, I don't know, whatever the terminology is
in your teenage years leads to cognitive issues Oh wow
later in life. And my first thought was, how did
they determine that?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Like, what will they do studies?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Okay, so when they did a study on people with
cognitive issues, like they found that all these people ate
junk food, I was.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Just like, well, they do a junk food study and
they probably watch these people over decades, right, and then
they see like the people that run into trees and
walk backwards.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
When it's supposed to be going forwards. They're not drunk,
they just ate lots of junk food when they were
in their team.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
But and it's so funny because that would almost connect
to maybe the blueberry things. So blueberries are natural food, healthy,
have all these benefits.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So if someone is eating a.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Lot of junk food as a teenager, they're probably not
eating blueberberries.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
So I need to.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
But it's just always it's always interesting when you see
these connect when they make the when they have these
studies and they make these connections between something you did
as a child or you know, a young teenager or whatever,
and how it is affecting you as an adult.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yes, well, I need to go to Whole Foods, and yes,
buy some blueberries.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That's what my kid's gonna be eating.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
You eat yogurt, right, eat? I can put in my
open hold them her oatmeal, oatmeal, cinnamon, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, put blueberries with your cinnamon. I put ginger dry
ginger in there. Ew. Ginger is good for your stomach.
I don't. And it's good benefits. Yes, I mean ginger's
is strong. It's an acquired taste.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
You know what else?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, get get fresh blueberries, but also get frozen blueberries
because if you put them in the microwave, microwave, they
thaw out, but they also create like a blueberry kind
of syrup. Okay, so it's like that is like a
natural sweetener. So that's that's a good.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You're smart, Robin. Blueberries are paying off. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I sent this to Ashley because she lives in Arlington, Okay, Virginia. Yeah,
she lives in Arlington, Virginia. Arlington neighborhood named as the
best place to live in America.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Okay, can you believe that? Yes? Really, yes, why what's
so great about Arlington?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Arlington is very close to d C. Okay, but has
a suburban neighborhoody feel true? You know, it's it's generally safe, Okay.
I mean I think you know, if you look at
a lot of those kind of poles or whatever or stories,
(15:14):
or a lot of areas in our area hood, you know,
DMB surrounding areas are rated really high, and that's why
it's expensive to live.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I remember when.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But I think it's the proximity of d C. So
it's like you can have like, you know, you can
go into d C and do all the urban type
stuff and you're really close. You can go home into
your Arlington neighborhood and live a suburban life.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Okay, I like that.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And the schools are probably great and all that for
the kids, okay, and the parks are clean and so.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Ashley's response was like, yeah, that's why my house is
so damn expensive.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Right, Well, she didn't say that, She's like, yay, but
I remember when she was moving out of living with Michael,
even though they lived in Arlington with you know, the
two of them did she was adamant about staying in
Arlington and I was like, I don't get it, sis,
but now I do.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I mean, but I bet you, but that is probably yes,
two slots behind and Columbia's probably number ten.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You know what I'm saying? Like, very true. All right,
we got some we got some emails and stuff to read.
You guys, keep before.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
We get to the email. Yeah, I have a question. Yes,
it's like a dating flirting. Oh yes, of my favorite subject.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, because this I.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Actually experienced firsthand. It was very it was very interesting
to see.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Okay, So why was flirting with you? No?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Okay, So Wan and I were sitting at a bar
eating dinner recently recently, and we were actually at Xenia.
Oh yeah, yes, we were at the bar Xenia. And
then so to our right it was three dudes, one
older man.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And then two younger two younger guys. So they were
and the bartender is a female.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Okay, So the dudes, the three dudes, all of them,
and the female bartender are.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Just chit chatting it up, talking about that whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They're talking about food and drinks and music and all
this type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Right y'all, you're listening to their conversation we're I mean,
are y'all adding to the conversation. Y'all are talking them?
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
We're just we're not No, we're not participating in their
conversation yet.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Right, yes, but but we can hear.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
It's like, I mean, they're right next to us, you know,
I mean, it's just we go there a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So you know, that's just kind of what ends up happening.
You sit at the bar and the end up having conversations.
Oh my gosh, I could add a shady moment in
that moment too. Anyway, Yeah, I'll just talk about it later,
I mean after the story. So so they're they're like
chit chatting whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Talking.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
So at one point, one of the guys says to
the bartender like, oh, yeah, what's your Instagram? Yeah, so
she tells her his Instagram. Okay, so he's like, you know,
it's follows her on Instagram, right, So they keep talking
and blah blah blah blah, and then she said something about, oh, yeah,
well my boyfriend said blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
And so the dude was like, your boyfriend, your boyfriend?
What He's like, you just gave me your Instagram what
do you mean your boyfriend? You have a boyfriend. Okay,
I need to know the race of these people, Okay,
(18:25):
because I feel like this plays into all of this. Okay,
this is hilarious. Okay. If I had told guess these
were these guys were white, yes, okay, because I don't
know a black man. The older man was black. I
don't know a black man being like your boyfriend, why,
(18:46):
oh my god. I'm like, a black ey would play.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Cool, right, A black guy would have been like, oh
damn you, I had a boyfriend, Like that's what black.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
He was like a boyfriend. He was mad, he was
so it's Larry. So that leads to.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Like my question, So then you know, I'm like, wait
a minute, So because she gave you her Instagram, right,
which is public by the way, I'm sure, yeah, it's public.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'm like, so, because she gave you her Instagram, that
means that she was like interesting, single and.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Open to dating. Yeah, and he was like yes really
yes No.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
So apparently with and he was probub did you he's
in his thirties like early tradies.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Apparently this is the new way of people trying to
like to know get with one another like, this is
the new way that god. No, no, okay, this is
the new way that guys instead of asking for their
phone number.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
They asked for your Instagram.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
For your Instagram it's And the girl was like what,
She's like, it's just my Instagram.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I give you my phone number. I mean just asked
my Instagram. I'm like what, I think this guy's on
his own. He the only one to feel it was.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
It was like a debate, a conversation, and it was like,
you know, so then we came to the So then
I kind of determined, like, Okay, I guess these men
expect you to say, like when they're like, hey, what's
your Instagram? For you to say, hey, you know, just
just want to let you know I have a boyfriend.
But this is my Instagram handling what I don't know.
But now it's like so questioned to you all listening, Yeah,
(20:28):
is this the new way of gods trying to holler
by getting your Atagram?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
And it's so crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So then a week later, I'm in line in Chipotle
and I literally peeped the same thing happened. It was
a pretty young girl in front of me and there
was a guy. He was on his way out the
door and he saw her and he turned around and
he went up to her and I don't.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I don't you know.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They were having like he asked her something, right, and
then he mentioned something about church or whatever. And I
heard him say what's your Instagram?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
What?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yes? And what she said, I got a boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
And she gave it to him, okay, and then he walked,
you know, and then they closed the conversation and he
walked away.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Oh wow. Then I asked her, I.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Said, I got to ask you something. I said, I
just heard him ask you for your Instagram? Is that
Does that mean that he's trying to holler?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Like? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Is that how you all now start dating? And she
was like, honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
See, yeah, this is a new phenomenon, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
We need we need for our listen I mean o yeah,
our listeners to write us.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Right now, right right. It was so crazy with the
I was he was pissed. Maybe he was dressed a
drinks that he had they were, I don't know, they
were drinking. I think he was like drinking beer. I
mean he wasn't like he.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Was just because it was my thing Instagram is public
or it can be public, right, right, but your phone
number is private, right, So I'm not going to give
you my phone number if I'm not interested exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
But you can go on you can go stop me
on Instagram you want, you.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Can go look at my Instagram page. Yes, it was
so funny, So this is a thing. I thought that
that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
We were just like we were just dying.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Like I'm like, well, I didn't know, so you know,
the twins just got Instagram recently and Angel posted a picture.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
This is new to me too.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Angel posted a picture and a boy that's interested in
her in her commented on her picture. But the comment
was like very generic, but it was the mere fact
that he commented, so she was so then the door
was like, mom, he's interested in Angel. I was like,
off of this dumb comment, no he's not. And so
they were like yes because if he wasn't, he wouldn't
(22:32):
have said anything.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I'm like, Okay, guy's gotta try harder, right, because this
is absurd.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Right, And that's so crazy to me. It's like you're
you're giving these guys a cop out. Really, you're really
making it easy for them.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
But I mean, yeah, well you know what, I'm not
mad at that because let's I'm talking about for the
church girl the girl in Chipotle. They can start instant
DM at each other and then you graduate to phone number.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yes I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, yes, I like that, And that's kind of like
a way to weed them out. Yeah, And it was funny,
it was interesting. So she was open to it because
she said they were aligned. So he came up and
talked to her about church. Yeah, And so when I
asked her, you know, is this his way of trying to.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Get with you?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And she was like, I don't know, because you know,
for a long time, like maybe like a couple of
years now, I was I can't remember the terminology she used.
But she's also into church, and so she was like,
you know, I wasn't into dating, Like I cut that
part out of my life, and I just recently asked
(23:36):
God to send me you know, I just recently told
God that I'm open now to meeting people in dating
and to send me whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
And then here he comes, and I was like, all
she had to do was go to Chipotle?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Right, And so I almost like, what I should have
gotten her numbers so that I could have found out
if they connected.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
We can't be that.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
We can't be that invested, Robin, Okay, we got to walk.
It was just it was so crazy. So that's a
good scenario.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Y'all tell us about that. So then, so now I
have another question.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yes, a couple, yeah too. There's all like dating stuff.
So I saw a post on Instagram. It felt like
it was all right. I'm a very skeptical, skeptical Instagram
watcher because I feel like everything is a skit.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I feel like everything is planned, everything is opted out,
Everything is a skit.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So I feel like this was a skit.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But the girl was holding her camera and she was
a guy was picking her up for a date and
he's in the driver's seat and he just reaches across
the car and pushes the car door open, and she's
standing out there holding her phone and she's, you know,
filming him. And she's like, you're not going to open
(24:51):
the door for me? And he's like, I mean, what,
like get in, like doors open, the doors open, and
she's like, you're not gonna get You're gonna you're not
gonna open the door for me.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I'm not getting in.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
He's like, I just drove thirty minutes here to take
you on a date, and I'm about to take you
to a restaurant and pay for you.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
She's like, but you're not going to get out and
open the door for me.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Like so it just they kept going like back and
forth about him not opening this door okay, and then
finally he like gets out the car, opens the door,
and then closes the door. And it was like, you
know what, I'm leaving. You're being too difficult.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm not taking them the date. I came all the
way here and ah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Was she in the car? No, No, she didn't get
in the car. So he like got out, opened the
door and then like well yeah, and then he like
changes mind. Yes, this was a skit, right yeah. But
the question is, so, my question is.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
If someone picks you up, you're going on a date,
it's your first date. They pick you up, and they
don't get out to open the car door for you,
what are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
What do you do? Is that a deal breaker? Right away?
Do you say something that would never be a first
date for me?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
You're never picking me up ok from my house or
picking me up from anywhere on a first.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Date, right that So that's so let's just say this
is a date four okay, and you pick me up, right, Yeah,
you need to you need to open up my car door, right, okay? Sure?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
So if he does not, yeah, are you saying something
in that moment? Are you making a mental note? Are
you you know? Are you like going on the date
and saying this is the last like this is the
last time.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I think I would make a mental note, okay, and
then if it when it had, if it happens again,
I'd be like playing, you got to open my car door,
like that's the gentleman, Like I'm an old school girl
and I like for the man to open my car door.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yes, I would have that conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I guess the telling part would be if Okay, so
if he picks you up, you get in the car,
you go on the date, and now you're both in
the restaurant or wherever, and then you're both walking to
the car.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Does he open your car door? Then he better? Right?
So that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
So so I feel like I would wait and see
what would happened then.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yes, before I like go yeah, and I would not
go off. It'd be a conversation. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
So It was funny because like I'm looking like I
read through the comments and a lot of people were
like on the guy's side, they were like, Oh, she's
being too difficult, she's being too demanding, Like yeah, forget her, forget.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Her, And that's why none of them have a date, right, Yeah,
that's why they all on Instagram as supposed to on
a date.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was like so shocked, but then I'm like okay,
But then I'm like, but she's standing there recording.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
It was just the whole part.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
That she was recording in didn't feel genuine to me.
But I thought I thought it was a good.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah scenario, like a good question.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
But some guys don't know that that's what they're supposed
to do, right, So you know, it's a little like
lets and some women, I think it's not important to them, right,
So it's about learning who you're dating, right, right.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
But I think.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Nowadays when people are getting our dating, they're like picking
apart every little thing, you know what I'm saying, Like
they're like looking for red flags.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
To begin with.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I think I probably would have opened the door myself,
gotten in the car, and then maybe later on been
like you know what, I just want to let you know,
like when you pick me up and you didn't open
my car door, especially on the first date, that was
kind of a turn off, And I would hope you
don't do that anymore for anyone else or for me,
(28:25):
you know, you know what I'm saying, Like I think
I would just but I don't think I would have
stood there and been like, you're not going to open
my door?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, And he was right for not wanting to go
out with her because it was the way she handled it, right, Yeah.
You don't have to handle things like an asshole, right.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, Like she didn't have to come at him in
that way. She could have even if she wanted him
to open the door, she could have been like, you
know what, gentlemen are supposed to open the door for
the ladies. It would be nice if you open my door,
right right, right right?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Okay. I want to read this. I saw this.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
This is from Shamarion who we love Gladden Gladen, Gladden Gladden.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Okay. So the subject is what would you ladies do?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Okay, So your husband and you are divorcing because he
cheated and had a side baby on you his side
chick and children move in with him while you move
into your own place. Fast forward, in the middle of
the divorce, your husband goes to the doctor and finds
out he has cancer.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
They give him one day to live, so.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
He dies the next day. You agrieve and go to
the funeral and all of that.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Fast forward.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
One day you get a phone call and it's the
side check saying that your husband has a two point
five million dollar life insurance policy. That she can't get
it because she's not his wife.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
But you can get the money and give it to her.
She says that she really.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Needs the money because they're about to go into foreclosure
on the house and.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Take her car. What would you do, Robin in this
scenario would Robin do?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Because y'all already know what that would do? Right, Okay,
we know which is that would do?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Okay, I am a very rob I'm about to go off. Okay, Okay,
go ahead, let me talk.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Okay, I'm a very understanding person. I'm a very empathetic person.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You are, But it ain't no way this woman is
getting a penny, not one penny, not a penny, not
a die no, no, not a penny. But I'm I'm
trying to figure out why the wife didn't know about
the life by their life insurance, yes, because that's not
a new thing, the life insurance policy.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
He didn't just get that, right, she should have.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Been, especially in that amount, yeah, not two point five,
so she should definitely know.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Well, whatever amount it is, one hundred thousand, fifty thousand
a million.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
No, Now would you give the baby some because that's his,
his child. No, I wouldn't neither.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
It's his stupid faulty for yes, but she with the
side chick and having the face.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Doing all of that, and for not setting them up
whatever you like. And I mean, we don't have any
time frame here. We don't know how long they were
together or how long you know.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
We don't. We don't have the timeframe.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
But regardless, No, you ain't getting shit, not a thing.
This is for my pain and suffering alone.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yes, yes, you ain't getting a dad bak because she moved,
she had to move and get her all place.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
That pain is suffering him right there right. Yes, it's
his fault.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
So y'all haven't even been together that long, and so
it's your fault side check that you don't have shit
to begin with.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Yes, so no, so kick rock side chicks yes, okay,
glad we aligned.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
On that one.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I thought I was about to be I was like,
if you give this woman a dining, I'm leaving reasonably shady.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
It's canceled forever, allkay. So Mallory Hole wrote.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And she said, hi, love Bucks literally recessed with y'all sin.
Season one of the Real Housewives dumpak in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Wow what is this twenty twenty four? Yes, wow, it's
a long time. Yeah. So now you.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Look at pictures of us and our kids.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
And I know especially the kids. Yes, kids were babies.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Kids were babies, you could we were so much younger, like, oh, such,
we've been in a time warp.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Yeah, it's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Well, you know all the stress that has come with
being on the Real Housewives, but.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
You can see it has aged us on our face. Okay,
it's funny like remember when Brock's first six months and
his hair with black to gray overnight. Yes that's us. Yeah, okay,
so raw, unfiltered and unapologeticly yourselves. We need that in
this world more than ever.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Anyways, I lost my mom in twenty twenty one, all
due to alcoholism.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
She was fifty one. She was my person Teki Key
with especially driving to and from school or work, I
always called her, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
When I get in my car. Now I turn on
the episode of your podcast. It immediately brings me so
much comfort, joy, and of course laughter. But more than anything,
it has filled a void for me in ways you
cannot begin to imagine. Oh that's so sweet. I absolutely
love y'all. By the way, what about g Eb's as
a fan follower name for Green Eye Bandits long e,
(33:21):
like the beginning of gizl so pronounced jim jet.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
J e biz g Eb's. Oh, g Eb's, isn't that
what we say? Yeah, I think she's saying something.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Different in the beginning, like the beginning of Jazel Gee.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
We don't know what you're trying to say, Mallory, right.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
But she says big hugs Mallory from North Carolina. Yes, yeah,
we don't know how to pronounce that jb jabs jebs jebs.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
That's what I always That's what I would always pronounce
it as jes. Yes in my head when I would
see it, I wouldn't say g ebs or I would say.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Jebs jebs okay, yeah, yeah, jebs okay. The jeps so
speaking of that. So my Dutch you and my aunt died.
I told you my aunt died.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yes, yes, so she was I think ninety, and she
was amazing.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
My aunt Joyce my father's brother's wife, and my cousin
went to go was spending a lot of time with
her before she passed away. So she would always say,
can you put my stories on?
Speaker 3 (34:34):
And so my cousin's like, what are you talking about
your stories?
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Because stories is typically what they call soap operas, right,
and she was referring to the real Housewives of Potomac.
And so she she every night she wanted to see
her stories, and she would so my cousin would put
her on.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
She would fall asleep after like the third minute. She
wanted to see it.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
So, I mean that made me so happy to know
that she was like wanting her stories.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
That's so cute. Yeah, I'll speaking of stories. This is
so funny. I saw this the other day.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
CBS ordered a new black soap opera, daytime soap opera.
Oh wow, yes about like yes, about like wealthy black people.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
When's that coming on? I don't know, but I'm like,
can I move to l A and be on a cameo?
Can they film that here?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Oh my god, yes, I will totally watch that because
I used to watch Young and the Restless and Bold
and the Beautiful like when I was like high school college.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I just got out of it.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I don't know, just as probably I had kids and
got a.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Little bit busy.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
But that would be amazing if they could do it
and make it, make it good, make it good like
the ones that have been on for years.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Yeah, that'd be great. I thought they were all going away. No,
Young and the Wrestles Still.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I watched Young and the Wrestles the other day the
first time in years.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Victor and Nikki Newman.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Are still married and like Jack and Victoria or Studio.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I was like, yeah, okay, so so crazy are we are?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Asking CBS if Rob and Gazelle can be on the
Black Daytime?
Speaker 3 (36:09):
So cool?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Oh wait, before we get into another letter, I want
to talk about I know we like to share what
we watch on TV a lot. Oh yeah, yeah, have
you watched The Resident?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yes? Oh wait a minute, didn't I watch that? What's that?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
It's It's like a Gray's anatomy ish hospital type show
that aired.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
On Fox for six seasons.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
I don't think so so they just like uploaded them
to Netflix, so you can like binge the whole the residence.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's so good, really so good.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Okay, so good. You need to consider a change before
you kill any more patience.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Who's the hospital going to believe?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
A third year resident with a doctor that bills twenty
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
A year could be one of those celebrity TV doctors.
You look the part you watch yourself coming right.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I would like drop in every now and then and
watch with Wan. He completely binged it and he I
mean it's like, you know, you're you're like, it's heartfelt,
you're crying and you know you're or you're happy. Yeah,
like it evokes so many emotions and it was It's
it's a really I never watched grades anatomy or er
or any of that. This one is not as like
(37:19):
cheesy as those appear to me. Okay, this one is
really really good.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
So I definitely watched that. Is it a man and
a black woman? Are they like that?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
There's yeah, so the main characters. Yeah, there's a black
woman that's a main character. So it's a white man,
a couple of Malcolm Jamal Moore Warner is a doctor
on there.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Okay, so I haven't seen that, Okay, okay, all right,
I'll definitely watch it. Listen.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
I'm still on Unprisoned. Yeah, I have Lockdown lock Up
yes Patreon. So this there's a prison in Arkansas? How
many so like because I think it's like eight episodes.
I've only watched two, but my hearty beaten real fast.
So the man, the sheriff, decided they were gonna try
(38:03):
and experiment, put up some Netflix cameras and open up. Oh,
the prison was on A twenty three and one, so
they're locked up for twenty three hours and they're out
for one hour. So when they would open the doors
for that one hour a day, all these.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Fights to break out because everybody's just pinned up as
everybody's it's call, So all these fights to break out.
So the sheriff was like, you know what, We're gonna
do something different.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
And in other countries, because they don't have such stringent lockups,
it helps whoever is locked up get back into society better, right, Okay,
and they don't they don't have as many resimvaitism.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
So what's that word.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Revisits when you when you when you're when you get
free and then.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
You come back off.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Oh okay, rebit is it's a word, is it. I
don't know that it's not the word that I'm saying, Okay,
but it's a word.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Anyway, long story short, he was like, all right, in
a week, we're gonna open up the doors. Okay, seven day,
I mean six days. They did a countdown, and then
finally the sheriff came in and said, guess what, guys, Tomorrow,
I'll open up the doors and y'all are gonna be
free to maintain your own community. And there's gonna be
no guards.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
The guards are going to leave, okay all day twenty four.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Twenty five, seven, three sixty five. One time somebody comes in,
it's to give them food, okay, So they can't leave there.
They have the outside and they have like the inside area. Yeah,
so they're not like in their little set, their twenty
four hours a day. So it was like our one,
Oh my god, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Hour two? Oh my god, oh my god. Our three?
Speaker 2 (39:37):
No fights. There have been no fights. Everybody's good in
the hood. I'm only on day two, Okay, I don't
know what happens how many days. Is that this is
a project for six weeks.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Oh wow, yees okay, and if they can maintain they
will keep it this.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
So this is what's driving the guys. They're all accountable
for each other, okay, So they're like, don't mess it up,
you better not fight, better not mess it up.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
So they're all like really being accountable. Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
So so what makes it so if there's no fighting
or anything happening, then what makes it good?
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, because it ain't given second, somebody gonna go to
hell off. Really, and right now, the young, the older
the older dudes are trying to like be like the
ones that are like running the shop, and the young
guys are like, you ain't gonna tell me nothing.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
You better not say no more.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Words to meet Claire partner. And it's like they're about
to fight any given minute. Really, So you're just petrified.
Are there any intimate moments? One guy in the middle
of the night, and I think they forgot that there
was cameras because one guy that you wouldn't suspect, not
that I can't, right anyway, one guy goes to second
night to his friend and so he goes He's like,
(40:48):
all right, sweetie.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
I'll see you in the morning. Okay. So I'm just like, well, y'all.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Have just slept together, right, since all the doors are open.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Yeah, see, I would think that since all the doors
are open, they can do whatever. I would think we
would be seeing some of that.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah, going on, so some phoning. Right.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
So I saw on the Sopranos, you know, I binged
the Sopranos, which, by the way, Tony Soprano rest in peace,
but like he was playing on him.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
He was like a man. Yes, you know. One day
I was like, Jamal, this is so freaking funny.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
I was like, Jamal, did you ever see the Sopranos,
because like back in the day, like I think we
we didn't watch the Soprano I think I need to
rewatch it because I was a lot younger and I
didn't really know what I was watching, right, So that's
probably a good one to rewatch.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Okay. He was like, yeah, just I saw it with you.
I said, Jamal, what are you talking about? Your lying?
He said, you were laying the bed next to me.
We watched the Sopranos.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Every married, right, every week I waited for I don't remember,
so you didn't make a memorable player. Anyway, what was
I talking about? I can't remember what I was talking about.
Tony Soprano. Oh, Tony Soprano said, Okay, if you're in
jail and you do any mail on mail stuff, yeah,
it doesn't count. Okay, because you can't get it any
(42:02):
other way. Okay, so that's overlooked. You can use your hand,
you can, but okay, overlooked, that's the rule.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
Okay. That does not mean because they had this on
Tony Soprano. They had this big on the sopranos. They
had this big because.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Tony had somebody in his crew that was gay and
they didn't know back in the day. I was like, wow,
this is amazing.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
So they ostracized him. I was like, okay, that was
just ridiculous. Yeah. Anyway, so Tony said, when you're in jail, okay,
it doesn't count. It doesn't count. No, Okay.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
So so if we have any listeners in jail or
out of jail, subscribe anyone who has been in jail
or out of jail, whatever, send us an email and
let us know and let us know, you know, if
that's your thoughts on what tony'sprano said, it's true your
thoughts or just like school us, let us, let us,
because that that is a I think that's a reasonable
(42:50):
thing to be curious about.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
I'm curious about that. Yeah, yeah, whether that is because
I didn't know that because Tony said it like.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
It was a discussion, like all the men in the
world had a discussion, and they all said it in jail.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Right, you get a pass. That's what you said, You
get a pass? Right?
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Okay, all right, we're moving on. This is our last
last one that we're reading for the day. Amanada Anderson
am Amanata.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
Ana either Amanata or Amanada? Yes, how you doing girl? Okay?
So she wrote us and said, dear Robin and Zell.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
In episode one eight, you talked about the list of
most educated countries, Robin said to Halla, if anyone listening
was from Denmark, Okay, okay, So that's exactly what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
OKAYI Halla, Denmark.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
My cousins and friends listen to your podcast and are
huge fans of the shows. It is oftentimes the main
topic of conversation.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
That's awesome. I love that.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
And I'll tell you pause when after my after I
made the announcement about me not being on season eight
or whatever, season nine, I got so many messages from
people in Europe.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Yes, they're like I'm in I'm in England, I'm in
or Even and in Australia, I'm in Australia, I'm in,
I'm here.
Speaker 3 (44:06):
I'm there, and who were just like devastated.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
We really need we really really really need to go
there and have.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
A live show. Yes, we definitely do. I was.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
I told you when I went to London, I was
like attacked at hair. I went to Merritt's and it
was like Justelle Bryant's hair.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
I'm like, oh my god, how do y'all know me?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Like I was like floor, Yeah, yeah, they're watching floored
by the.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Number of people that emailed from from overseas.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
All right, so she said, and before you ask, yes,
there are there is a black community in Copenhagen, mainly
second and third generation immigrants from Africa.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Okay, who knows that makes sense? We are just we're
just very few, probably due to the weather. Must be cold. Okay, yes, I.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Can confirm the health care is free since we do
pay high taxes.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
But it works really well that way. I like that.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
It is no secret that oftentimes lack of access to
heal health care affects the educational rates. That's a whole
topic of its own. Yes, it is anyway, love and
support from Copenhagen.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Copenhagen. Oh, that's so nice. That's so nice.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
So that made me think about when I was in
Toronto the healthcare. Canada has free health care, and my
short period in Toronto I was pregnant then with Corey.
Because I want to play for the Raptors. I didn't
really like it. I guess it's just as an American,
we're used to like our private our doctors with their
(45:34):
private practices and stuff. But it just felt like very
it was routine.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
You didn't get like any love.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Yeah, it felt like I was a number, you know
what I mean. Yeah, And I was in a factory
like when I would go to the doctor's office, and.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
It just I didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
But you know, I mean, that's not to say that
there's anything wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (45:56):
I'm sure the people in.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Denmark and Canada who have their free public health care
like it, yea, because that's what they know. But I
just for me personally, I didn't like it. I really
liked having like the more private practice experience.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
When I was in France, the girls and I were
with my girlfriend Erica and her kids, and one of
her daughters hit her head and it was bleeding. We
had to go to the hospital. Erica took her to
the hospital. The stitches and the whole process eighty six dollars,
Oh wow, insane.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Wow America, Yeah, would have been outrageous.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Thousands, yes, yeah, So I think there's something too like
this kind of you know, healthcare that doesn't like break
the bank.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Yeah, right, and how much?
Speaker 1 (46:42):
And you have to just wonder, like how much are
they marking up everything the healthcare here?
Speaker 3 (46:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (46:46):
You remember my this is the last thing remember my
HYS directed me with that was like eight eight hours.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
Yeah, I had to pay for those eight hours. You did?
Speaker 2 (46:53):
So my healthcare is I mean the surgery. It was
going to be where I have my healthcare set up,
it was going to be a percentage that they paid
for maybe like eighty.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Twenty split, right something like that. Yeah. Yeah, I had
to pay thousands.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Thank god I had the money to pay for but
it was thousands of dollars because my surgery was so long,
and I can just imagine the number of people that
like I went and they go into But more importantly
I didn't. My surgery we thought was going to be
three hours, right, it was eight hours.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
So you can't predict that.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
No, And yes, thank god, I'm grateful that I'm able
to pay for it. But people that are in a
situation in which they can't, it's affed up.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Yeah, that so in that sense, the public, it's like,
so for me, I'm like, you know, I didn't like
the public health care experience, but look at on the
other side, it's like people have access to it where
you know, only really the privileged have access to the private,
you know, comfortable health care situations.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
It's messed up. It's messed up.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
And that's in you know, I talked about the NBA
players who were scamming the NBA healthcare insurance program, but
your surgery, like what you paid on thousands of dollars for, Yeah,
the ones NBA healthcare plan would have paid for that.
So when you have these NBA players who are scamming
from their own healthcare insurance, it's like the worst. Why
(48:18):
we're gonna get old, we're gonna need stuff like that? Yes, yeah,
the worst, But it's definitely a blessing like that's the
NBA has great benefits and that's one of them.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah, well, we love y'all in Denmark and everywhere.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
We love y'all. We totally appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Don't ever forget to live your life either reasonable or
it's shady or both.

Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of The Black Effect
Podcast Network and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome to another episode of Reasonably Shady. I am Jiselle Bryant.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
What's up? What's up everyone? I'm Robin Dixon, Robin Dixie.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Thank you for being here with us once again. Yes,
we appreciate you as always as all that way, never ever, ever,
ever ever changed.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
No, our reasonably Shasters. Yes, we love them, love them
so much. Yeah, what's going on with peoplelue? Oh, let's
see shady moment?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yes of the week. Yeah, just happened. Yes, it did,
like over an hour ago a little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It was very shady. Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So you know, as we've shared, sometimes when we record,
we record two episodes at a time. Okay, so this
is the second one of our episodes.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Do we need to tell them all of that? No,
they don't need to know that, No, remain mysterious.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well, I think we said that in response to, like, like,
sometimes we can't really address certain things, We can't address
things in a timely manner because you know, just to
explain that, like sometimes we can't really address current events
because it right exactly, So that's why anyway, Okay, but yeah,
(01:32):
So while we were recording our previous episode, which you
heard last week, we were like eleven minutes into the show,
and we were like, you know, had good conversation, talked
about just the response from my announcement that I was leaving,
and blah blah blah ah this eleven now, Actually, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
We were probably like fourteen minutes into the.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Show, okay, And I looked down at our recorder and
it was on zero's yes all zeros, which is a
panic yes, and when that happens, that means it's not recording.
So I realized that our memory card was full, and
it was just a whole frantic panic because it's really
(02:17):
hard to like recreate what we've already talked.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
About, right, So we didn't want to lose that, right.
We didn't want to lose it.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Because when we talk, we're really talking, you know, it's
just very organic, it's very natural.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It's really hard to recreate that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And so fortunately I was able to check the card
and see, like, first I thought.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Like, oh my gosh, we didn't get any of it right, And.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm immediately like calling Taylor, who's our producer, and he
and he is like misterfix it with everything and I'm like,
walk us through this.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, yeah, So I found that we actually recorded eleven
minutes of the show and then the card was full
and it was stopped recording. So it was like, oh
my god, thank god. So at least we have these
eleven minutes. We don't have to we create what we
already did because it wouldn't have felt natural anymore. So
we were able to like save that, we were able
(03:05):
to clear the card off. I mean, it definitely pushed
our schedule back a little bit, and Jaselle's already like.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
So anyway, it was just like a big frantic moment.
But I want to like.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Shout out to Taylor because when you listen to the episode,
you guys will never know that happens. Ever, Like Taylor
is a magician. Yes, I tell you, there's sometimes we
might talk about something and we might be like, eh,
take that out, we need to take that out, and I'll,
you know, email Taylor and I'd be like, Taylor, can
you find a part where Jelle said something really.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Always me? Probably yes, always me, And I'm like take
it out right.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Take it out please, and he will take it out
and it will sound like it never happened.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, never happened.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He actually did that one of our Patreon our recent one.
Remember it was the thing that I told you that
we needed to to take out because it you know,
it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Really discussed or whatever you want to tell the people now.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
No, no, anyway, So when I listened to it, I
was like, I mean, seamless, seamless.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It was so crazy. I was like, Taylor is the
bomb and what he does.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
People would these production people they don't get the credit
because they're behind the scenes, you know, and not just
you know Taylor with the audio, but the crew that
works on any television show. They don't get the credit,
but they work so imagine and they work hard. Yes,
if you're not working hard, you need to leave.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So that was a shady moment.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It was very stressful and Giselle is like looking at
me like yet done.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yes, okay, So my shady moment. I was washing my hair.
I don't really do that that often, but I was
washing my hair in my house.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Myself do it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Often because like somebody, because you go to the hair slank.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, no, I just have dirty hair that too.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Anyway, washed my hair and it was drying up and
my daughter Grace calls me and she's like, I answer
the phone.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
My hair is like curly and just like big. She
answered the phone and.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
She's like, whoa, what is happening? And she proceeds to
tell me that my curl.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Pattern ain't right right, And I'm like.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
First of all, how can you look at somebody and
say that they're God given the curl pattern?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
It's not right. That is just rude. That is rude
and shady, right, And I was like, well, what do
you mean? She was like, it just don't look right.
You just and then she blamed it on me because
she said because I normally like have my hair like straightened,
then I totally ruined my curl pattern. Yes, and she's the.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Curl pattern queen, right, clearly right.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And I have a problem with it because God gave
me my little curls, right, leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So how do you feel about your curls?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So she's gonna come when she comes home for spring break,
I mean summer vacation.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
She's going she wants me to like wear my hair curly.
But it's a whole process.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
She got like twelve different products, right, and then she
got to run it through the whole from from the
roof to the tip.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yes, and it's a whole thing. It's a process. She
wants to walk me through that. She wants to do
it for you.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yes, Okay, tell me how that works out for you
because my curl pattern, Yeah, it is awful, Like.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, yeah, because we've been getting our hair straight.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Right, because we can we get it straightened. We have color,
and the color reallys it. Yeah, but I have like
different curl patterns in different parts of my hair. Yeah,
it's horrendous.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So I'm probably not gonna go through with this. Well
I want to.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I think you should, right, I think you should allow
her to try, okay and see what happens. But I
kind of think I don't know if yours can be
I don't. I don't know that you can do the
same thing that she does. No, because your hair is
not the same and my hair is older, right and
crunchy and brittle.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yes, and it's not.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But she's been wearing her hair curly because it's so
hot in Florida, right, And she does say it takes
more time and all that, but she loves it.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I feel like she was just.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Keeping it real with you, she will, Oh totally. And
so the shadiness is your curl pattern?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Oh, because mine is awful? Awful? Yeah, I hate it. Well,
it is what it is. Okay. So I wanted to
last week. I wanted to talk about Jamie Fox, and
we didn't get the opportunity. So have you seen Jamie
Fox order the chicken wings? No? Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Okay, So I don't know how this video got out,
but it's Jamie Fox ordering I guess for his family
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So he orders six hundred chicken wings.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh my gosh, do you know how expensive chicken wings
are these days?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I think Jamie could afford it, of course I can,
of course you can. What was happening? Was this a
family reunion? Okay, I'm trying to turn it up to Robinica.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Here two one hundred living pepper, bobecue wings. Two we'll
go ahead, and oh were coming, so we got it?
(08:36):
What else you got?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Oh my god, this is a wing stop. Yeah, he
ordered two hundred lemon pepper. He ordered like two hundred
hot and spicy and one hundred barbecue or something crazy. Insane.
That is insane.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I need to know what the occasion was but I
would love it if Jamie Fox called my job seeking
in order?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh yes, back to him, No, she didn't think it
was him what And that's why he kept saying like, oh,
you're gonna be surprised when I come up there and
get these wings.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Right. I'm sure he sends somebody else, but right, who
the hell?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And then wait a minute at the end, after he
ordered like six hundred wings, right, she said, okay, thank
you'll be ready for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Twenty minutes. Okay. That blew me.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So this particular wingstop has all of these wings just
ready to go twenty.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Minutes, twenty minutes. Well, I would think.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Six hundred wings is like their daily around wings.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Right there that they're apparently not they ready to whip
up six hundred wings in twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That's kind of scary. Why are you telling? Right?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That's really scary when you think about just food production is.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What the scary wast wingstop for me? But I'm just
I'm not gonna be shady. Now do you eat blueberries?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I do? Yeah? How many do you eat? So?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Like every day? So like to what did I eat
today today? I had blue berries in my yogurts.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah, I'll probably put like fifteen in it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Oh wow, that's a lot. That's good, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Because they Okay, so the doctor reveals that blueberries make
you smarter.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yes, so the extract or even the equivalent of one
couple of blueberries has improves your cognitive cognition. Cognitive cognitive cognitive,
your memory, your executive functioning. Multiple studies show for even
children and adults across your lifespan.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, if you eat.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Blueberries, okay, you're gonna be smart as hell. Okay, yes,
all right, I just know that blueberries are what they
call a superfood like it. They're very extremely healthy. They're
one of the fruits. I guess they're like low glass.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
They're a low glacemic fruit, you know, like watermelon and pineapple,
which has a lot of sugar. Blueberries is lower on
the glacemic index and it has tons of antioxidants.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yes, so I need to get some berries. Yeah, you
don't eat blueberry I mean not like that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I mean, if I'm if I'm out somewhere and whatever
I'm eating has blueberries in it, Okay, cool, But I'm
not like intentionally getting blueberry O.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
No, I intentionally get blueberries really, yes, and that is
like in my daily Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, but you but you walk around your house in circles.
So like that hasn't stopped you from doing that, Robin.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I know, I'm like, I didn't know about the cognitive benefits.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yes, because I can function it white reap them. Yet
what is it gonna kick?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
But right, I'm still waiting. I don't know, but I
don't but it well, it's gonna kick in. Oh lord,
I hope so oh my gosh. No, Actually the scary
part is, oh my gosh, what if I didn't eat blueberries?
What would my life be like?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Right? Right?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Look, watch out wand rob is just gonna be walking
around the whole yard in circles, okay, right, why gonna
be like out the wind?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Though, like Robin, what's wrong with you? I'll be a vegetable?
Oh my gosh, this is.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
But I do love the fact that you know, we
can pinpoint something to say, hey, that will help you.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Right, there's a direct connection. But you know, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I saw a story on the It like ran across
the bottom ticker of the screen and it said eating
junk food in your teenage years, Like eating a heavy, heavily.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Laden diet with junk.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Food or whatever, I don't know, whatever the terminology is
in your teenage years leads to cognitive issues Oh wow
later in life. And my first thought was, how did
they determine that?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Like, what will they do studies?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Okay, so when they did a study on people with
cognitive issues, like they found that all these people ate
junk food, I was.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Just like, well, they do a junk food study and
they probably watch these people over decades, right, and then
they see like the people that run into trees and
walk backwards.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
When it's supposed to be going forwards. They're not drunk,
they just ate lots of junk food when they were
in their team.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
But and it's so funny because that would almost connect
to maybe the blueberry things. So blueberries are natural food, healthy,
have all these benefits.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So if someone is eating a.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Lot of junk food as a teenager, they're probably not
eating blueberberries.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
So I need to.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
But it's just always it's always interesting when you see
these connect when they make the when they have these
studies and they make these connections between something you did
as a child or you know, a young teenager or whatever,
and how it is affecting you as an adult.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yes, well, I need to go to Whole Foods, and yes,
buy some blueberries.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That's what my kid's gonna be eating.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
You eat yogurt, right, eat? I can put in my
open hold them her oatmeal, oatmeal, cinnamon, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, put blueberries with your cinnamon. I put ginger dry
ginger in there. Ew. Ginger is good for your stomach.
I don't. And it's good benefits. Yes, I mean ginger's
is strong. It's an acquired taste.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
You know what else?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, get get fresh blueberries, but also get frozen blueberries
because if you put them in the microwave, microwave, they
thaw out, but they also create like a blueberry kind
of syrup. Okay, so it's like that is like a
natural sweetener. So that's that's a good.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You're smart, Robin. Blueberries are paying off. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I sent this to Ashley because she lives in Arlington, Okay, Virginia. Yeah,
she lives in Arlington, Virginia. Arlington neighborhood named as the
best place to live in America.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Okay, can you believe that? Yes? Really, yes, why what's
so great about Arlington?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Arlington is very close to d C. Okay, but has
a suburban neighborhoody feel true? You know, it's it's generally safe, Okay.
I mean I think you know, if you look at
a lot of those kind of poles or whatever or stories,
(15:14):
or a lot of areas in our area hood, you know,
DMB surrounding areas are rated really high, and that's why
it's expensive to live.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I remember when.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But I think it's the proximity of d C. So
it's like you can have like, you know, you can
go into d C and do all the urban type
stuff and you're really close. You can go home into
your Arlington neighborhood and live a suburban life.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Okay, I like that.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And the schools are probably great and all that for
the kids, okay, and the parks are clean and so.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Ashley's response was like, yeah, that's why my house is
so damn expensive.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Right, Well, she didn't say that, She's like, yay, but
I remember when she was moving out of living with Michael,
even though they lived in Arlington with you know, the
two of them did she was adamant about staying in
Arlington and I was like, I don't get it, sis,
but now I do.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I mean, but I bet you, but that is probably yes,
two slots behind and Columbia's probably number ten.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You know what I'm saying? Like, very true. All right,
we got some we got some emails and stuff to read.
You guys, keep before.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
We get to the email. Yeah, I have a question. Yes,
it's like a dating flirting. Oh yes, of my favorite subject.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, because this I.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Actually experienced firsthand. It was very it was very interesting
to see.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Okay, So why was flirting with you? No?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Okay, So Wan and I were sitting at a bar
eating dinner recently recently, and we were actually at Xenia.
Oh yeah, yes, we were at the bar Xenia. And
then so to our right it was three dudes, one
older man.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And then two younger two younger guys. So they were
and the bartender is a female.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Okay, So the dudes, the three dudes, all of them,
and the female bartender are.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Just chit chatting it up, talking about that whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They're talking about food and drinks and music and all
this type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Right y'all, you're listening to their conversation we're I mean,
are y'all adding to the conversation. Y'all are talking them?
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
We're just we're not No, we're not participating in their
conversation yet.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Right, yes, but but we can hear.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
It's like, I mean, they're right next to us, you know,
I mean, it's just we go there a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So you know, that's just kind of what ends up happening.
You sit at the bar and the end up having conversations.
Oh my gosh, I could add a shady moment in
that moment too. Anyway, Yeah, I'll just talk about it later,
I mean after the story. So so they're they're like
chit chatting whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Talking.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
So at one point, one of the guys says to
the bartender like, oh, yeah, what's your Instagram? Yeah, so
she tells her his Instagram. Okay, so he's like, you know,
it's follows her on Instagram, right, So they keep talking
and blah blah blah blah, and then she said something about, oh, yeah,
well my boyfriend said blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
And so the dude was like, your boyfriend, your boyfriend?
What He's like, you just gave me your Instagram what
do you mean your boyfriend? You have a boyfriend. Okay,
I need to know the race of these people, Okay,
(18:25):
because I feel like this plays into all of this. Okay,
this is hilarious. Okay. If I had told guess these
were these guys were white, yes, okay, because I don't
know a black man. The older man was black. I
don't know a black man being like your boyfriend, why,
(18:46):
oh my god. I'm like, a black ey would play.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Cool, right, A black guy would have been like, oh
damn you, I had a boyfriend, Like that's what black.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
He was like a boyfriend. He was mad, he was
so it's Larry. So that leads to.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Like my question, So then you know, I'm like, wait
a minute, So because she gave you her Instagram, right,
which is public by the way, I'm sure, yeah, it's public.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'm like, so, because she gave you her Instagram, that
means that she was like interesting, single and.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Open to dating. Yeah, and he was like yes really
yes No.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
So apparently with and he was probub did you he's
in his thirties like early tradies.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Apparently this is the new way of people trying to
like to know get with one another like, this is
the new way that god. No, no, okay, this is
the new way that guys instead of asking for their
phone number.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
They asked for your Instagram.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
For your Instagram it's And the girl was like what,
She's like, it's just my Instagram.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I give you my phone number. I mean just asked
my Instagram. I'm like what, I think this guy's on
his own. He the only one to feel it was.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
It was like a debate, a conversation, and it was like,
you know, so then we came to the So then
I kind of determined, like, Okay, I guess these men
expect you to say, like when they're like, hey, what's
your Instagram? For you to say, hey, you know, just
just want to let you know I have a boyfriend.
But this is my Instagram handling what I don't know.
But now it's like so questioned to you all listening, Yeah,
(20:28):
is this the new way of gods trying to holler
by getting your Atagram?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
And it's so crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So then a week later, I'm in line in Chipotle
and I literally peeped the same thing happened. It was
a pretty young girl in front of me and there
was a guy. He was on his way out the
door and he saw her and he turned around and
he went up to her and I don't.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I don't you know.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They were having like he asked her something, right, and
then he mentioned something about church or whatever. And I
heard him say what's your Instagram?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
What?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yes? And what she said, I got a boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
And she gave it to him, okay, and then he walked,
you know, and then they closed the conversation and he
walked away.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Oh wow. Then I asked her, I.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Said, I got to ask you something. I said, I
just heard him ask you for your Instagram? Is that
Does that mean that he's trying to holler?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Like? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Is that how you all now start dating? And she
was like, honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
See, yeah, this is a new phenomenon, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
We need we need for our listen I mean o yeah,
our listeners to write us.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Right now, right right. It was so crazy with the
I was he was pissed. Maybe he was dressed a
drinks that he had they were, I don't know, they
were drinking. I think he was like drinking beer. I
mean he wasn't like he.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Was just because it was my thing Instagram is public
or it can be public, right, right, but your phone
number is private, right, So I'm not going to give
you my phone number if I'm not interested exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
But you can go on you can go stop me
on Instagram you want, you.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Can go look at my Instagram page. Yes, it was
so funny, So this is a thing. I thought that
that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
We were just like we were just dying.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Like I'm like, well, I didn't know, so you know,
the twins just got Instagram recently and Angel posted a picture.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
This is new to me too.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Angel posted a picture and a boy that's interested in
her in her commented on her picture. But the comment
was like very generic, but it was the mere fact
that he commented, so she was so then the door
was like, mom, he's interested in Angel. I was like,
off of this dumb comment, no he's not. And so
they were like yes because if he wasn't, he wouldn't
(22:32):
have said anything.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I'm like, Okay, guy's gotta try harder, right, because this
is absurd.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Right, And that's so crazy to me. It's like you're
you're giving these guys a cop out. Really, you're really
making it easy for them.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
But I mean, yeah, well you know what, I'm not
mad at that because let's I'm talking about for the
church girl the girl in Chipotle. They can start instant
DM at each other and then you graduate to phone number.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yes I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, yes, I like that, And that's kind of like
a way to weed them out. Yeah, And it was funny,
it was interesting. So she was open to it because
she said they were aligned. So he came up and
talked to her about church. Yeah, And so when I
asked her, you know, is this his way of trying to.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Get with you?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And she was like, I don't know, because you know,
for a long time, like maybe like a couple of
years now, I was I can't remember the terminology she used.
But she's also into church, and so she was like,
you know, I wasn't into dating, Like I cut that
part out of my life, and I just recently asked
(23:36):
God to send me you know, I just recently told
God that I'm open now to meeting people in dating
and to send me whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
And then here he comes, and I was like, all
she had to do was go to Chipotle?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Right, And so I almost like, what I should have
gotten her numbers so that I could have found out
if they connected.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
We can't be that.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
We can't be that invested, Robin, Okay, we got to walk.
It was just it was so crazy. So that's a
good scenario.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Y'all tell us about that. So then, so now I
have another question.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yes, a couple, yeah too. There's all like dating stuff.
So I saw a post on Instagram. It felt like
it was all right. I'm a very skeptical, skeptical Instagram
watcher because I feel like everything is a skit.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I feel like everything is planned, everything is opted out,
Everything is a skit.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So I feel like this was a skit.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But the girl was holding her camera and she was
a guy was picking her up for a date and
he's in the driver's seat and he just reaches across
the car and pushes the car door open, and she's
standing out there holding her phone and she's, you know,
filming him. And she's like, you're not going to open
(24:51):
the door for me? And he's like, I mean, what,
like get in, like doors open, the doors open, and
she's like, you're not gonna get You're gonna you're not
gonna open the door for me.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I'm not getting in.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
He's like, I just drove thirty minutes here to take
you on a date, and I'm about to take you
to a restaurant and pay for you.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
She's like, but you're not going to get out and
open the door for me.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Like so it just they kept going like back and
forth about him not opening this door okay, and then
finally he like gets out the car, opens the door,
and then closes the door. And it was like, you
know what, I'm leaving. You're being too difficult.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm not taking them the date. I came all the
way here and ah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Was she in the car? No, No, she didn't get
in the car. So he like got out, opened the
door and then like well yeah, and then he like
changes mind. Yes, this was a skit, right yeah. But
the question is, so, my question is.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
If someone picks you up, you're going on a date,
it's your first date. They pick you up, and they
don't get out to open the car door for you,
what are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
What do you do? Is that a deal breaker? Right away?
Do you say something that would never be a first
date for me?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
You're never picking me up ok from my house or
picking me up from anywhere on a first.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Date, right that So that's so let's just say this
is a date four okay, and you pick me up, right, Yeah,
you need to you need to open up my car door, right, okay? Sure?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
So if he does not, yeah, are you saying something
in that moment? Are you making a mental note? Are
you you know? Are you like going on the date
and saying this is the last like this is the
last time.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I think I would make a mental note, okay, and
then if it when it had, if it happens again,
I'd be like playing, you got to open my car door,
like that's the gentleman, Like I'm an old school girl
and I like for the man to open my car door.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yes, I would have that conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I guess the telling part would be if Okay, so
if he picks you up, you get in the car,
you go on the date, and now you're both in
the restaurant or wherever, and then you're both walking to
the car.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Does he open your car door? Then he better? Right?
So that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
So so I feel like I would wait and see
what would happened then.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yes, before I like go yeah, and I would not
go off. It'd be a conversation. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
So It was funny because like I'm looking like I
read through the comments and a lot of people were
like on the guy's side, they were like, Oh, she's
being too difficult, she's being too demanding, Like yeah, forget her, forget.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Her, And that's why none of them have a date, right, Yeah,
that's why they all on Instagram as supposed to on
a date.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was like so shocked, but then I'm like okay,
But then I'm like, but she's standing there recording.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
It was just the whole part.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
That she was recording in didn't feel genuine to me.
But I thought I thought it was a good.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah scenario, like a good question.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
But some guys don't know that that's what they're supposed
to do, right, So you know, it's a little like
lets and some women, I think it's not important to them, right,
So it's about learning who you're dating, right, right.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
But I think.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Nowadays when people are getting our dating, they're like picking
apart every little thing, you know what I'm saying, Like
they're like looking for red flags.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
To begin with.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I think I probably would have opened the door myself,
gotten in the car, and then maybe later on been
like you know what, I just want to let you know,
like when you pick me up and you didn't open
my car door, especially on the first date, that was
kind of a turn off, And I would hope you
don't do that anymore for anyone else or for me,
(28:25):
you know, you know what I'm saying, Like I think
I would just but I don't think I would have
stood there and been like, you're not going to open
my door?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, And he was right for not wanting to go
out with her because it was the way she handled it, right, Yeah.
You don't have to handle things like an asshole, right.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, Like she didn't have to come at him in
that way. She could have even if she wanted him
to open the door, she could have been like, you
know what, gentlemen are supposed to open the door for
the ladies. It would be nice if you open my door,
right right, right right?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Okay. I want to read this. I saw this.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
This is from Shamarion who we love Gladden Gladen, Gladden Gladden.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Okay. So the subject is what would you ladies do?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Okay, So your husband and you are divorcing because he
cheated and had a side baby on you his side
chick and children move in with him while you move
into your own place. Fast forward, in the middle of
the divorce, your husband goes to the doctor and finds
out he has cancer.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
They give him one day to live, so.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
He dies the next day. You agrieve and go to
the funeral and all of that.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Fast forward.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
One day you get a phone call and it's the
side check saying that your husband has a two point
five million dollar life insurance policy. That she can't get
it because she's not his wife.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
But you can get the money and give it to her.
She says that she really.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Needs the money because they're about to go into foreclosure
on the house and.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Take her car. What would you do, Robin in this
scenario would Robin do?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Because y'all already know what that would do? Right, Okay,
we know which is that would do?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Okay, I am a very rob I'm about to go off. Okay, Okay,
go ahead, let me talk.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Okay, I'm a very understanding person. I'm a very empathetic person.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You are, But it ain't no way this woman is
getting a penny, not one penny, not a penny, not
a die no, no, not a penny. But I'm I'm
trying to figure out why the wife didn't know about
the life by their life insurance, yes, because that's not
a new thing, the life insurance policy.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
He didn't just get that, right, she should have.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Been, especially in that amount, yeah, not two point five,
so she should definitely know.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Well, whatever amount it is, one hundred thousand, fifty thousand
a million.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
No, Now would you give the baby some because that's his,
his child. No, I wouldn't neither.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
It's his stupid faulty for yes, but she with the
side chick and having the face.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Doing all of that, and for not setting them up
whatever you like. And I mean, we don't have any
time frame here. We don't know how long they were
together or how long you know.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
We don't. We don't have the timeframe.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
But regardless, No, you ain't getting shit, not a thing.
This is for my pain and suffering alone.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yes, yes, you ain't getting a dad bak because she moved,
she had to move and get her all place.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
That pain is suffering him right there right. Yes, it's
his fault.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
So y'all haven't even been together that long, and so
it's your fault side check that you don't have shit
to begin with.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Yes, so no, so kick rock side chicks yes, okay,
glad we aligned.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
On that one.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I thought I was about to be I was like,
if you give this woman a dining, I'm leaving reasonably shady.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
It's canceled forever, allkay. So Mallory Hole wrote.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And she said, hi, love Bucks literally recessed with y'all sin.
Season one of the Real Housewives dumpak in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Wow what is this twenty twenty four? Yes, wow, it's
a long time. Yeah. So now you.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Look at pictures of us and our kids.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
And I know especially the kids. Yes, kids were babies.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Kids were babies, you could we were so much younger, like, oh, such,
we've been in a time warp.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Yeah, it's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Well, you know all the stress that has come with
being on the Real Housewives, but.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
You can see it has aged us on our face. Okay,
it's funny like remember when Brock's first six months and
his hair with black to gray overnight. Yes that's us. Yeah, okay,
so raw, unfiltered and unapologeticly yourselves. We need that in
this world more than ever.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Anyways, I lost my mom in twenty twenty one, all
due to alcoholism.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
She was fifty one. She was my person Teki Key
with especially driving to and from school or work, I
always called her, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
When I get in my car. Now I turn on
the episode of your podcast. It immediately brings me so
much comfort, joy, and of course laughter. But more than anything,
it has filled a void for me in ways you
cannot begin to imagine. Oh that's so sweet. I absolutely
love y'all. By the way, what about g Eb's as
a fan follower name for Green Eye Bandits long e,
(33:21):
like the beginning of gizl so pronounced jim jet.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
J e biz g Eb's. Oh, g Eb's, isn't that
what we say? Yeah, I think she's saying something.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Different in the beginning, like the beginning of Jazel Gee.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
We don't know what you're trying to say, Mallory, right.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
But she says big hugs Mallory from North Carolina. Yes, yeah,
we don't know how to pronounce that jb jabs jebs jebs.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
That's what I always That's what I would always pronounce
it as jes. Yes in my head when I would
see it, I wouldn't say g ebs or I would say.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Jebs jebs okay, yeah, yeah, jebs okay. The jeps so
speaking of that. So my Dutch you and my aunt died.
I told you my aunt died.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yes, yes, so she was I think ninety, and she
was amazing.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
My aunt Joyce my father's brother's wife, and my cousin
went to go was spending a lot of time with
her before she passed away. So she would always say,
can you put my stories on?
Speaker 3 (34:34):
And so my cousin's like, what are you talking about
your stories?
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Because stories is typically what they call soap operas, right,
and she was referring to the real Housewives of Potomac.
And so she she every night she wanted to see
her stories, and she would so my cousin would put
her on.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
She would fall asleep after like the third minute. She
wanted to see it.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
So, I mean that made me so happy to know
that she was like wanting her stories.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
That's so cute. Yeah, I'll speaking of stories. This is
so funny. I saw this the other day.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
CBS ordered a new black soap opera, daytime soap opera.
Oh wow, yes about like yes, about like wealthy black people.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
When's that coming on? I don't know, but I'm like,
can I move to l A and be on a cameo?
Can they film that here?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Oh my god, yes, I will totally watch that because
I used to watch Young and the Restless and Bold
and the Beautiful like when I was like high school college.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I just got out of it.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I don't know, just as probably I had kids and
got a.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Little bit busy.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
But that would be amazing if they could do it
and make it, make it good, make it good like
the ones that have been on for years.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Yeah, that'd be great. I thought they were all going away. No,
Young and the Wrestles Still.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I watched Young and the Wrestles the other day the
first time in years.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Victor and Nikki Newman.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Are still married and like Jack and Victoria or Studio.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I was like, yeah, okay, so so crazy are we are?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Asking CBS if Rob and Gazelle can be on the
Black Daytime?
Speaker 3 (36:09):

you watched The Resident?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yes? Oh wait a minute, didn't I watch that? What's that?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
It's It's like a Gray's anatomy ish hospital type show
that aired.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
On Fox for six seasons.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
I don't think so so they just like uploaded them
to Netflix, so you can like binge the whole the residence.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's so good, really so good.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Okay, so good. You need to consider a change before
you kill any more patience.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Who's the hospital going to believe?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
A third year resident with a doctor that bills twenty
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
A year could be one of those celebrity TV doctors.
You look the part you watch yourself coming right.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I would like drop in every now and then and
watch with Wan. He completely binged it and he I
mean it's like, you know, you're you're like, it's heartfelt,
you're crying and you know you're or you're happy. Yeah,
like it evokes so many emotions and it was It's
it's a really I never watched grades anatomy or er
or any of that. This one is not as like
(37:19):
cheesy as those appear to me. Okay, this one is
really really good.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
So I definitely watched that. Is it a man and
a black woman? Are they like that?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
There's yeah, so the main characters. Yeah, there's a black
woman that's a main character. So it's a white man,
a couple of Malcolm Jamal Moore Warner is a doctor
on there.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Okay, so I haven't seen that, Okay, okay, all right,
I'll definitely watch it. Listen.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
I'm still on Unprisoned. Yeah, I have Lockdown lock Up
yes Patreon. So this there's a prison in Arkansas? How
many so like because I think it's like eight episodes.
I've only watched two, but my hearty beaten real fast.
So the man, the sheriff, decided they were gonna try
(38:03):
and experiment, put up some Netflix cameras and open up. Oh,
the prison was on A twenty three and one, so
they're locked up for twenty three hours and they're out
for one hour. So when they would open the doors
for that one hour a day, all these.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Fights to break out because everybody's just pinned up as
everybody's it's call, So all these fights to break out.
So the sheriff was like, you know what, We're gonna
do something different.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
And in other countries, because they don't have such stringent lockups,
it helps whoever is locked up get back into society better, right, Okay,
and they don't they don't have as many resimvaitism.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
So what's that word.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Revisits when you when you when you're when you get
free and then.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
You come back off.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Oh okay, rebit is it's a word, is it. I
don't know that it's not the word that I'm saying, Okay,
but it's a word.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Anyway, long story short, he was like, all right, in
a week, we're gonna open up the doors. Okay, seven day,
I mean six days. They did a countdown, and then
finally the sheriff came in and said, guess what, guys, Tomorrow,
I'll open up the doors and y'all are gonna be
free to maintain your own community. And there's gonna be
no guards.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
The guards are going to leave, okay all day twenty four.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Twenty five, seven, three sixty five. One time somebody comes in,
it's to give them food, okay, So they can't leave there.
They have the outside and they have like the inside area. Yeah,
so they're not like in their little set, their twenty
four hours a day. So it was like our one,
Oh my god, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Hour two? Oh my god, oh my god. Our three?
Speaker 2 (39:37):
No fights. There have been no fights. Everybody's good in
the hood. I'm only on day two, Okay, I don't
know what happens how many days. Is that this is
a project for six weeks.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Oh wow, yees okay, and if they can maintain they
will keep it this.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
So this is what's driving the guys. They're all accountable
for each other, okay, So they're like, don't mess it up,
you better not fight, better not mess it up.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
So they're all like really being accountable. Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
So so what makes it so if there's no fighting
or anything happening, then what makes it good?
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, because it ain't given second, somebody gonna go to
hell off. Really, and right now, the young, the older
the older dudes are trying to like be like the
ones that are like running the shop, and the young
guys are like, you ain't gonna tell me nothing.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
You better not say no more.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Words to meet Claire partner. And it's like they're about
to fight any given minute. Really, So you're just petrified.
Are there any intimate moments? One guy in the middle
of the night, and I think they forgot that there
was cameras because one guy that you wouldn't suspect, not
that I can't, right anyway, one guy goes to second
night to his friend and so he goes He's like,
(40:48):
all right, sweetie.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
I'll see you in the morning. Okay. So I'm just like, well, y'all.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Have just slept together, right, since all the doors are open.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Yeah, see, I would think that since all the doors
are open, they can do whatever. I would think we
would be seeing some of that.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah, going on, so some phoning. Right.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
So I saw on the Sopranos, you know, I binged
the Sopranos, which, by the way, Tony Soprano rest in peace,
but like he was playing on him.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
He was like a man. Yes, you know. One day
I was like, Jamal, this is so freaking funny.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
I was like, Jamal, did you ever see the Sopranos,
because like back in the day, like I think we
we didn't watch the Soprano I think I need to
rewatch it because I was a lot younger and I
didn't really know what I was watching, right, So that's
probably a good one to rewatch.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Okay. He was like, yeah, just I saw it with you.
I said, Jamal, what are you talking about? Your lying?
He said, you were laying the bed next to me.
We watched the Sopranos.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Every married, right, every week I waited for I don't remember,
so you didn't make a memorable player. Anyway, what was
I talking about? I can't remember what I was talking about.
Tony Soprano. Oh, Tony Soprano said, Okay, if you're in
jail and you do any mail on mail stuff, yeah,
it doesn't count. Okay, because you can't get it any
(42:02):
other way. Okay, so that's overlooked. You can use your hand,
you can, but okay, overlooked, that's the rule.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
Okay. That does not mean because they had this on
Tony Soprano. They had this big on the sopranos. They
had this big because.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Tony had somebody in his crew that was gay and
they didn't know back in the day. I was like, wow,
this is amazing.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
So they ostracized him. I was like, okay, that was
just ridiculous. Yeah. Anyway, so Tony said, when you're in jail, okay,
it doesn't count. It doesn't count. No, Okay.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
So so if we have any listeners in jail or
out of jail, subscribe anyone who has been in jail
or out of jail, whatever, send us an email and
let us know and let us know, you know, if
that's your thoughts on what tony'sprano said, it's true your
thoughts or just like school us, let us, let us,
because that that is a I think that's a reasonable
(42:50):
thing to be curious about.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
I'm curious about that. Yeah, yeah, whether that is because
I didn't know that because Tony said it like.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
It was a discussion, like all the men in the
world had a discussion, and they all said it in jail.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Right, you get a pass. That's what you said, You
get a pass? Right?
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Okay, all right, we're moving on. This is our last
last one that we're reading for the day. Amanada Anderson
am Amanata.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
Ana either Amanata or Amanada? Yes, how you doing girl? Okay?
So she wrote us and said, dear Robin and Zell.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
In episode one eight, you talked about the list of
most educated countries, Robin said to Halla, if anyone listening
was from Denmark, Okay, okay, So that's exactly what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
OKAYI Halla, Denmark.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
My cousins and friends listen to your podcast and are
huge fans of the shows. It is oftentimes the main
topic of conversation.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
That's awesome. I love that.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
And I'll tell you pause when after my after I
made the announcement about me not being on season eight
or whatever, season nine, I got so many messages from
people in Europe.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Yes, they're like I'm in I'm in England, I'm in
or Even and in Australia, I'm in Australia, I'm in,
I'm here.
Speaker 3 (44:06):
I'm there, and who were just like devastated.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
We really need we really really really need to go
there and have.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
A live show. Yes, we definitely do. I was.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
I told you when I went to London, I was
like attacked at hair. I went to Merritt's and it
was like Justelle Bryant's hair.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
I'm like, oh my god, how do y'all know me?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Like I was like floor, Yeah, yeah, they're watching floored
by the.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Number of people that emailed from from overseas.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
All right, so she said, and before you ask, yes,
there are there is a black community in Copenhagen, mainly
second and third generation immigrants from Africa.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Okay, who knows that makes sense? We are just we're
just very few, probably due to the weather. Must be cold. Okay, yes, I.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Can confirm the health care is free since we do
pay high taxes.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
But it works really well that way. I like that.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
It is no secret that oftentimes lack of access to
heal health care affects the educational rates. That's a whole
topic of its own. Yes, it is anyway, love and
support from Copenhagen.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Copenhagen. Oh, that's so nice. That's so nice.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
So that made me think about when I was in
Toronto the healthcare. Canada has free health care, and my
short period in Toronto I was pregnant then with Corey.
Because I want to play for the Raptors. I didn't
really like it. I guess it's just as an American,
we're used to like our private our doctors with their
(45:34):
private practices and stuff. But it just felt like very
it was routine.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
You didn't get like any love.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Yeah, it felt like I was a number, you know
what I mean. Yeah, And I was in a factory
like when I would go to the doctor's office, and.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
It just I didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
But you know, I mean, that's not to say that
there's anything wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (45:56):
I'm sure the people in.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Denmark and Canada who have their free public health care
like it, yea, because that's what they know. But I
just for me personally, I didn't like it. I really
liked having like the more private practice experience.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
When I was in France, the girls and I were
with my girlfriend Erica and her kids, and one of
her daughters hit her head and it was bleeding. We
had to go to the hospital. Erica took her to
the hospital. The stitches and the whole process eighty six dollars,
Oh wow, insane.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Wow America, Yeah, would have been outrageous.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Thousands, yes, yeah, So I think there's something too like
this kind of you know, healthcare that doesn't like break
the bank.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Yeah, right, and how much?
Speaker 1 (46:42):
And you have to just wonder, like how much are
they marking up everything the healthcare here?
Speaker 3 (46:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (46:46):
You remember my this is the last thing remember my
HYS directed me with that was like eight eight hours.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
Yeah, I had to pay for those eight hours. You did?
Speaker 2 (46:53):
So my healthcare is I mean the surgery. It was
going to be where I have my healthcare set up,
it was going to be a percentage that they paid
for maybe like eighty.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Twenty split, right something like that. Yeah. Yeah, I had
to pay thousands.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Thank god I had the money to pay for but
it was thousands of dollars because my surgery was so long,
and I can just imagine the number of people that
like I went and they go into But more importantly
I didn't. My surgery we thought was going to be
three hours, right, it was eight hours.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
So you can't predict that.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
No, And yes, thank god, I'm grateful that I'm able
to pay for it. But people that are in a
situation in which they can't, it's affed up.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Yeah, that so in that sense, the public, it's like,
so for me, I'm like, you know, I didn't like
the public health care experience, but look at on the
other side, it's like people have access to it where
you know, only really the privileged have access to the private,
you know, comfortable health care situations.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
It's messed up. It's messed up.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
And that's in you know, I talked about the NBA
players who were scamming the NBA healthcare insurance program, but
your surgery, like what you paid on thousands of dollars for, Yeah,
the ones NBA healthcare plan would have paid for that.
So when you have these NBA players who are scamming
from their own healthcare insurance, it's like the worst. Why
(48:18):
we're gonna get old, we're gonna need stuff like that? Yes, yeah,
the worst, But it's definitely a blessing like that's the
NBA has great benefits and that's one of them.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah, well, we love y'all in Denmark and everywhere.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
We love y'all. We totally appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Don't ever forget to live your life either reasonable or
it's shady or both.
