Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to Couples Counseling with Chelsea, And I'm here
with three of my friends.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
They are not a couple. They're a threatle.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
They're not romantically involved either. There are three comedians named
Amina Amani, Sydney Washington, and Marie Fouston, and I spent
some time with them in Whistler and heard a lot
about their beef, so I thought I would bring them
onto the podcast. What are your thoughts, ladies on dating
somebody's ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
How do you feel about that? Oh, we don't do that.
I don't like anybody that my friend's like, no one bit, no,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I don't even like the people that I used to like,
So why would I like your trash? Yes, so one
hundred percent I agree with like, I'm not even interested.
I feel like even if somebody looks their way or
I'm like, oh no, that's off the options for me.
But I feel like as I'm getting older, I see
a lot of women friends and it's just like, oh,
where you're married, now you moved on. Why can't I
(00:54):
date your eggs? Y'all don't know, y'all don't see that, or.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Y'all not together no more on that.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
We were friends after y'all were together, So that don't
have nothing to do with me.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well, me and Sydney were talking about this woman.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Her friend had went through chemo and passed away, and
when her friend died, she was like, Oh, the way that.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Her husband was treating her in the hospital. I noticed that.
And now now she's with the eggs they married. Yeah,
to me, that's crazy, Like, that's crazy. Enjoy your love.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
But to me, I just that's to me, that's weird.
So what y'all are y'all talking about her? Y'all y'all,
y'all reminiscing. Okay, but this isn't some additional info that
might change your mind.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
She's seventy seven, does.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Ye? Well?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah? How old is the guy? Probably around that eighty.
But that's why I'm saying. I feel like as you
get older, the rules change. That's what it seems like. No,
that's weird. That's weird.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
You guys have been friends for solo. You've seen so
many times, and then you saw me when I had cancer. Baby,
now you want my man.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's weird. That felt like you've been blocking the whole time.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
That means she was showing up to the cancer treatment
with like a good cat eye and her butt look good,
and she was like, oh, let me.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Brush your three hairs across your forehead. Yeah, I mean
the man is her heirloom.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Listen, she was gonna take her shot out jewelry he
left wi Yeah, up for grabs. I'm glad. All I
know is I'm glad I'm gay.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
And so we never have to worry about that with
the girls over here because you know they're very straight.
But I feel like even being friends with exes, I
don't really play that like that's that's my boundary too.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Like I just feel like if I met.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
This person from my friend and they are no longer connected.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I hate when people continue friendships.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That is disgusting to me. That isn't just like ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Also, I go in now with friends that have exes,
and I go in with like, just no once, this
is a wrap, this is a rep.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
But also when they don't even know the person that well,
they met them one time at a dinner that you
had for they're hanging out.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And I'm like, wait, that was I just next.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Her, like after six years and you don't even know
her and you're hanging out with her. You continue like
I have this one guy every my friend's boyfriend. Every
time I hook up with someone on vacation, he stays
in contact with the guy that I hook up with
on vacation.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm like, why why are you remaining in contact with
these one night stands that I've had? That's a Pepine,
don't do that. It doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
But if people people out there that's like that, they
will stay connected.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
They'll be hanging out, they'll be inviting.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Them to the group check, coming to the events, and
you just be sitting there, like, do you think I
want to see this person again?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
If I say bye? You gotta say bye. Well, I'll say,
I'll say that.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I feel like I'm the opposite of your friend, Chelsea.
Once my friend is done with somebody, that person is
dead to me. And Sidney can attest to this, because
Sidney got exits that I was like, well, I don't
we were done with them, And then Sydney still talks
to them, and I'm like, I've always said that he died,
So funeral for that person, girl, The resurrection is easter.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You know what I'm saying is good for it. She
keep everybody around. I know that is hard.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That is hard when you pitch about somebody and then
we all and your friends all back you up and
are like, fine, fuck her or fuck him, and then
that person gets back together with the person. You're like,
wait a second, I'm the only one that's mad at
them anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But I don't really bitch. I don't bitch about them.
If anything, I put it on beat, I'd be like, oh,
I was I messed up. I wasn't right. I wasn't
all the way there for the person. That's why this
didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Okay, what are your thoughts on lending friends money? I
don't say. I don't do. I don't do money and friends.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
You don't know. I mean like, I'll get you a meal,
I'll send you a little a little uber ride or something,
a little bag or a shirt. Like if I could
give it to you and just let you have it,
one hundred percent is yours. But if I can't, I'm
not a bank, I'm not a leander. Like I got good.
If I need a loan, chase b away. It's a
(05:03):
whole lot of lists of people that I can contact.
I just I think it's embarrassing too.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I just I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I feel like I wouldn't even I've never asked you
all to borrow money. We've been friends for probably a decade.
I've never asked them to borrow money. No, No, I've
probably stolen money. I've stolen money from y'all.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh from the new Yeah, I forgot it's mine.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
No, I'm like, how No, I'm just saying that's that's
how I am with my friends.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Like, I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But I recently had a friend hit me up with
a voice memo asking me for one hundred and seventy
five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
But that's why they didn't text it, because they said,
you're not screenshotting this voice memo.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Exactly as soon as I listen to it, you know,
it disappears right. I was like, oh, that's why you
said to in a voice memo told me that she
would have it back to me at the end of
two months, which is even more sk than just asking for.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You're not gonna add it too much.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
But I have a long history of loading people money
and them never paying it back, but loading them without
the expectation, you know, when people are in trouble. But
this was the first time in my adult life that
I was like, absolutely not, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
What's the most what's the most you've ever lent somebody
like twenty grand? Right, why don't we go ahead and
add you to agree? But yeah, I mean, but for me,
I think that.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I mean I've had a long history of just like
being bad with finances, but then I've also met people
who have been bad with finances, and it's just like
you put it, you put it in the zeigeis you know,
if somebody if you can do it, and you can
and it helps them and then they eventually you know,
pay it back, that's amazing. But like, you know, what
is what is money if it's on right terms. I mean,
(06:54):
obviously there's people are sketchy in they're they're out there
using you and they're not coming from a good late.
But if somebody was down and out and like I
had it, I had abundance of it, I'm like, oh, yeah,
this is my good friend. But if it's on the
terms where like they say they're going to pay it
back and then they don't, then it's like I hope
you know that twenty thousand dollars. It's worth our friendship
(07:16):
because then I can't mess with you no more because
you're not.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
On your word.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, and I've definitely when I was coming up and
had no money, I definitely borrowed from a lot of people,
and I always paid people back because I was very
I always knew, like Marie that I would be successful
and I would do well. But for some reason, I
found the one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in
such a stabbering sum to.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Ask someone for that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That's more than that's more than most American salaries, Like what?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, and this is also someone I haven't seen in
several years, you know, I mean coming through on a
voice memo.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I was several year.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I mean, yeah, we taxed sometimes, but we're not like close.
And I just I just couldn't get over it, and
I was I actually.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Realized that diference between me.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
First of all, my business managers would never allow that
anymore because they know my history of being too generous
to people without asking enough questions, so they would actually
make someone sign a contract or something.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
But you know, oh, oh that's good a contract.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, I offered her that up.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I said, if you want to go through my business managers,
you're going to have to do some paperwork with them.
And then immediately she's like, I'm offended by that.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh, but.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I don't believe did she what does she need the
money for? Let's was she starting like a lash business?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I mean, it's all very shady, It's all. It just
felt shady right away. I was like, this isn't right,
This isn't how you ask for that either.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
No, you haven't heard from her in a while, did
she Well, did she hit you with a like a.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Preliminary hey, friend, Like, did she text.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
You to kind of like massage it in there?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
No? No, she's brutally Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I have a question about drama, because I'm sure there's
lots of drama between the three of you.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
How much drama is too much drama? And when is
when do you have to draw the line with the
level of drama.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Let me tell you what Sydney and Amina drama is.
We go out, we're having a nice time, we all
look great. Sidney will say something about Amina something, Amina
will say something back about Sidney something, and then they
just start roasting each other and everyone's laughing or no, no, no,
they're laughing at each other.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Everyone else is like, oh wow, they thought to fight?
Are they fight?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Right? And it's just like to me, it just feels
like low blow after low blow after low blow, and
I just listen and laugh. But because I yeah, I'm
too sensitive for that, and I'm Forrie, you're to the sensitive.
If someone said something about me the way that y'all
talk about each other, I I'm too sensitive for that.
(10:01):
That's when I'll be brutally honest. I can't y'all. Y'all
are like y'all will say.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Things and I'm like, oh oh oh.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It was like she's a mother and I mean it's
like she's on a house and I'm like, oh my,
like we do go go. And I thought it was
cool until one that she called me and she was like,
this week, I can't do this back and forth with
you would be there And I was like, first of all,
I was you started every time and now you no,
(10:31):
I do not accordially to put out your own message, liar.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It's like sixty forty Sydney. I think it is.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
It's one hundred percent like for the most part out come,
I'm chilling I'm vibing, and then here go Sidney saying
something that now I gotta I gotta pull out my guns.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Every week is different, but I do.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Remember she hit you up and said, I can't do
this with you this week, and then I want to say,
the next time I saw y'all together.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
She started it.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
No, she started it, and then I said, I thought
we was off this week, and I took like a
little few less blows than she did.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
But what do you think it is between the chemistry
between you two, because I've seen you guys do it
and it is shocking, you know, I mean, especially for
people who are around you who aren't comedians, they.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Must be like, what the fuck is happen Meina, we
gotta slow down. In my family, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
That's that's a love language of ours, like dragging each other,
like anything that I'm excited or happy about, Like with
my sisters, I'll come, I'll send them a picture and
like they'll congratulate, but like underneath it'll be a whole
tagging of like what I'm wearing.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
With my hair, where I was at, who I was with.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So it's just in my family, that's just that's kind
of like a love language thing that we just go
back and forth dragging each other. Just I mean, keep
you humble, I keep sending me humble. I'd like to
say one thing I come first of all. First of all,
I have a low armun I be. I be low
most of the time. Amina stays coming in on a fout,
so her energy she you already be on defense because
(12:01):
you're like, well, what is she about to say?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And then you know she did her capitaling and something
about that.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Be like, oh my god, let me put the pause
up because I know she's about to say something.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I'm not gonna lie though.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It keeps me, it keeps me sharp. I will say that.
That's why I think. I think that's why I like
doing it, because it's like I know something, you're gonna
come through with the with the left hook, and now
I gotta come back.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
So yeah, I can see in the gym. Yeah yeah,
it's just a gym. It's to work out.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It's an open mic against like I guess our emotions
or I don't know what it is that we do.
But I look at Amna as a sister, and whenever
we're doing it, I think I rarely be like, damn,
you took it too far.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Like once in a while, we did take it too far.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
One time, remember when you were standing over me asking
me to pay you a vemo. I wanted to punch
you in your face because I was like, girl, it
ain't never day. I'm not gonna send you your money back.
And she was like, she was like, pull your phone
out and send it to me now.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And I'm like, are you serious right now? So you
took it too far. You're having a hard day.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Friend was, but you took it too far with that
coud sis. You don't have no problems them won't requesting
somebody for five dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So there's that, and you've done that, and then do
and don't. I don't know how I am.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I am very particular about money. That's why I don't
do friends with money. And they also we go out
and it's thirty three dollars and sixty cents. Please do
not send me thirty three dollars. Honestly, you on my
list for that.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Thirty three dollars and sixty cents. You want the SI
you round it down. You need the round up. You
need the round now, you need to round up to
one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. Yeah, that's exactly right.
