Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of the Black Effect
Podcast Network and I Heart Radio. Welcome to reasonably Shady.
(00:22):
I am Gazelle Bryant. What's up? What's up? Everyone? I'm
robbing Dickson? Is is that a thing? Dixon Dixong Dixon
Dixon Dixons Dickson Dix. I have you're saying Dick about
several times, and I have several things to stay behind that,
but I'm not going to because we're gonna keep this clean. Okay, So,
(00:45):
um reasonably shady moment. Do you have any Yeah, I'm
going to give it to that Dick soon upstairs. That
wand Dickson what's his middle name? Again? You mean were
like a few episodes ago, I was complaining about the
(01:07):
brother in law leaving the big bottles. Now one wants
to try to work out again, and he's leaving his
freaking workout bottles in the sink like a prmis or whatever,
like with this protein shake and his pre workout and
his post work out. And it's like and it's like
all these damn but shaker bottles in my sink and
(01:29):
I'm not washing them, I'm not putting them in the dishwasher.
I'm not rinsing them out. I'm not washing them. I'm
sick of it. Oh sugar, okay, wanted tonio, I suggest
you watch your own damn bottles because Robin ain't having it, sugar, okay,
all right. So I have not talked about any renovation
(01:53):
in my house just because you know. I'm at the
tail end of this thing, thank you Jesus. So I'm
on the outside portion. I'm doing like a little pat yo,
a little fire pit action. Um A, what do you
call those things that you cook on that grill? A grill?
I don't want to grill, but for whatever reason, my
contract did and brought me a grill. Oh my god? Whatever,
(02:13):
what's this here? I'm not even gonna complain this here? Okay?
So I say to him, I've been waiting for the
fire pit to be installed for about three months. So
I say to my contractor, when does the fire pick come?
He said, what do you sell the fire pit? I said, yeah,
when does that come? And he said, I thought you
(02:35):
ordered it? Oh lord. So I said, I'm not gonna
CAUs I'm just gonna order it. Oh my god. So
this fire pits coming from Amazon. I just want you
to know and it will be at my house seven days,
nice and rinky than fire pits coming from Amazon. Seven
(02:56):
days will be in my house and it will be installed.
And I just want you to know my contractor is shady. Okay, wait,
did you but was the contractor is supposed to receive
money from you to order it? Well? Does he orders
up and the reimburse it? He orders it, not reimburse really? Yeah,
And if he needs money from me, he knows, just
to say that, like if he needs it in advance,
because let's say the purchase is too big, then he knows. Yeah.
We we got with this. We were two years in,
(03:18):
so we have that established. But some things I do
order because I want to pick them, and some things
he ordered so but I specifically said no. He specifically
said he was going to order the fire pit because
there's a lot to it, like there's either propane, there's electric,
there's all these things that I don't know anything about.
But guess what that fire bits coming? Okay? I hope
(03:40):
I did too, And I don't care what I got.
They're gonna install it whatever it is, install it the ends,
all right, can't wait to use it. I know it's
gonna be great, We're gonna marshmallow We're gonna like roast
marshmallows and stuff. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna have some
hot dates. What are you gonna cook on the grill? Well, okay,
this girl probably will never be used because I'm not
(04:00):
a grill. A griller, No, I'm not. I think grilling
is for like, very large football players. I envision anyone
grilling that they're big, their men, they have beards. Speaking
of beards, Okay, so there was a basketball trade from
I don't know what what. Okay, you talk about James Harden, Yes,
(04:22):
going from the Nets to the Sixers, But did the
Sixers really know that's James Harden because no one can
see his face? Because that beard is the most disgusting
thing I've ever seen. The other day, I was like,
who is this dude? Oh? This is hardened? But how
would you know? That beard is like down to his knees.
There's fried chicken in the beard. You know, it's so funny.
(04:43):
I'm so used to it. I don't even notice it anymore.
I want, but like, that beard look is gone? Aren't
we done with that? I don't think so. Listen, Yeah,
he clearly loves his beard. He does. I wanted to
be gone. I just hope it's sanitary. Anytime I see them,
I automatically know and feeling my gut that there's fried
(05:04):
chicken in there's beards, fried chicken, grease, watermelon, there's some
cult forty five in there. Now racist, this is horrible.
Let me just stop by my head, James Harden, I
beg them blood. Definitely some blood. It's some blinds. The
whole thing smells like weed. I know it does. Okay,
(05:25):
I don't even know if he smokes swed. We're really sorry, Hardened,
cut the thing off. Yes, I feel like a beard
to go look at it. I'm so you know, you know,
I watched sports, I watched all the time, so like
I'm like immune to his beard, Like I don't even
see it anymore. But but after the beard gets away
from the face like a half inch, that's it. But
(05:45):
that's the look. But who started this look? Do you
know who started it? Osama Bin Laden and he is dead. Okay,
So Hardened, cut your beard. That's all I have to
say about that. Okay, So this is actually is actually
the last day of Black History Month, and there's a
couple of things I want to say clearly, Um, I
(06:08):
feel like, you know, the world is realizing that black
people need to be honored and all that good stuff.
So a couple weeks ago, Vogue came out with their
cover and all that's good stuff. Where their spread or whatever,
and it was Kim Kardashi. Yes, and we love Kim.
We think Kim is great, and we really are happy
(06:29):
for her because she's happy now because she has Pete. Okay,
and Kanye has decided he's gonna stop tweeting and he's
taking down all of his tweets. Believe that. Well, we'll see. Anyway,
we're not talking about Kanye ever again. Okay, so why
couldn't I Can I just say real quick, I think
Kanye is acting a fool just so you can talk
about him. I think so too. That's why we're not
(06:50):
talking about him. I thought about that. You tell me
that the other day, and I thought about that, and
I was like, you know what, Robin's onto something. Kanye
knows what he's doing. He knows that right now, everyone
knows that him and Can going through a divorce, and
he's gonna use it to his advantage, you specifically, because
he knows that you have said, I'm not talking about
Kanye anymore. So he's doing this such as I can
(07:12):
talk that, you can talk about her way that man
gets under my skin. I do want to say that
because his um work slash rain boots slash Boltega boots
are horrible. Guy, Stop wearing those. Then we'll talk about
you again. K Okay, But I mean, so much has
happened and we have we have kind of skipped over
all of that that has happened with him. So hopefully
by the time we hear this, you know, he's kind
(07:33):
of simmer down. He will simmer down. I don't know
if those boots are gonna simmer down. But anyway, so
back to what we were saying about Vogue. Okay, Andre
Leon Tally, Yes, who passed away, who was a fashion icon.
He was the first black man that like broke through
and was allowed to even be in the room with
the hot couture and the Givon sheds and the call
(07:56):
lack of fields of the world. Right, why couldn't he
be on the cover in so my theory is that
he probably wasn't on good terms with them. Well, yes,
I believe that, which is unfortunate It's like, okay, you
all can still whatever whatever happened in the past, because
he and Anna went tour aren't friends anymore, right, right
(08:16):
and Anna went were still at Vogue, right, Yes? Yeah,
I mean whatever their beef is is unfortunate. Is that
deep that they couldn't even show him respect and put
him on their cover during Black I'm well, then, well,
then like give him an insert? Did he have a
spread like inside? I don't know, I just but but
but to give it to Kim who is she's not black?
(08:40):
But you know, they planning these covers like so whoever,
their PR team is yelling that properly planning your calendar
for the year. But they should have said, oh, I
was going to die, right, So maybe I wonder I
wonder how far in advance it was printed, you know
what I mean? Yeah, okay, so we'll cut them some slack.
May be I think they had Matt. I think they
(09:01):
had major beef um and that magazine was probably that
cover is probably already printed. Well, we'll we'll cut We'll
cut them some slack. That's fine, But I feel like
this is the reality of it. I don't know another
black person in the Vogue world right like after like
he he obviously forged the way, but like, I don't
(09:23):
know anyone that's come behind him, which speaks volumes and
and and. But I do know Naomi is very vocal.
Naomi Campbell who we love, Naomi Campbell walk, Naomi Campbell walk.
Naomi just wants you to know. I practice my Naomi
Campbell walk all the time. Me and my girls sat
around my house all the time. Um, she is very vocal,
and I know she speaks up about this whole situation.
(09:47):
So we're gonna leave it to Naomi. She's gonna handle it.
And that wasn't she on it? What was she onna
cover just recently with her new baby, Yeah British Vogue Okay, yeah,
and she's say I did leave some comments on this
is my baby. Yes that it's very interesting to me,
she said, Um, she said this is my biological baby. Yes.
(10:09):
I was like, wow, she wanted everybody to know. So
what is it? So she had a surrogate right, she
had to have Yeah, who's the daddy? Well, actually I
don't I can't even say that she had to have Like,
do we have Naomi Campbell sightings in the past nine months? No,
she was never baby is Yeah, we've never we've never
seen a pregnate' and she's been walking a catwalk so
she has not been pregnant. Okay, so she had a surrogate, yes,
(10:31):
clearly with her own eggs. Yes, And who's the daddy sperm?
I'll ask her the next time we hang out, I'll
tell you all the next episode for us back to us. Okay,
So we do want to get back into these do
(10:51):
you questions? Okay, we got through one the last episode.
I know we didn't get through much, but but I
feel like, okay, so wait minute, gotta look him up.
See here, let's see, and y'all can send us some more, yes,
send us some more before we get into do you questions?
One last thing we were not one last thing, but
one thing we want to ask you guys, is there
um in light of Chelsea Chesley Chris and that very
(11:17):
unfortunate situation in which she committed suicide. We were moved
bother disturbed by that whole thing and want to talk
about it. Want to shut some light to depression, suicide
and all that that means. We would like for you
all to send us kind of like your stories. Yeah,
(11:38):
I mean I'm thinking, I want, I want to do
our part to help educate people, and not just people
who are suffering with depression, but people who have loved
ones that are suffering from depression. And I just feel
like it would be great if we could share a
personal story that if someone is willing to share it
with us, um from anyone that maybe has been to
(12:00):
the point of depression where um, you considered hurting yourself
or taking your life, to help us understand what exactly
does that maybe feel like, or how do you get
to that point? How can people we want to know,
how can people around you support you? Um See, I
just want to see if there's anything we can share
that's that's useful to our listeners, just to be able
(12:21):
to know how to help people who maybe in that
space and help us understand, because you know, we look
at Chesley Chris. She was a former Miss US, a
former Miss USA. She was so beautiful and from what
we could see, you know, she was so vibrant and
happy and happy and on extra and and just gorgeous
and had so much going for herself and so for
(12:43):
you know, a lot of people were looking at like wow,
like what was going on? What was she feeling to
do that. UM, I know this kind of dark, it's
might maybe triggering, it might be depressing. But if there's
any way that we can help, we want to help.
So if anyone is compelled to email us, UM your story. UM,
(13:05):
I don't know, I don't know if you feel like
typing it. If you don't, you can email a voice
memo whatever. UM, please send us a message to what's
up at reasonably shady dot com because we definitely want
to help people. UM, and we'll so that'll be an
episode coming up in the in the near future. By
the way, we had an episode a couple of weeks
ago that talked about like earning money, getting money, getting
(13:28):
your grinds on if you'll have made money since then,
having and I want our cut, okay, just saying just
feel free to send that into But you know what,
we did get an email from a listener that was
like they listened to that episode and they were motivated
to start a business. Oh, so you know it's her
(13:48):
name Melissa, Melissa. We want to cut Melissa. Who said that,
Oh Melissa, Oh that her name is not Melissa, Yes, yes,
but but yeah, so look, we're doing our job here
we come motivate one person. That's great. Hopefully we motivated
you know a lot more than that, but um, yes,
thank you. Okay, this is due you. Part two okay,
(14:14):
So do you, Robin sleep with the TV on or off?
Which one on or off? Both? I'm so yes. So
I fall asleep with it on. I have it's set
to turn off at two am. But I have to
go to sleep with the TV on. Really, I cannot
(14:35):
stand when I'm trying to go to sleep. I can't
stand complete silence and darkness. Oh wow, and I'm the
complete opposite. It has to be completely dark, like if
I'm at a hotel and you know how you close
the blinds, if that's that little sliver, like you know
that little slip, you know what I'll talk about that
was that ship would drive me crazy. I would jump
out the bed and like fix it and push your
like couch back so that it can't move out of
(14:57):
the sliver has to go. It has to be completely
dark and everything has to be off. Really yeah, no,
like I don't know what it is. I feel like
winner and it's weird. So my volume is literally turned
down to like seven six or seven, so you can barely.
You can't really hear what the people are saying or
what's going on, and it has to be on CNN.
That's my lullaby. Okay, don don you are singing that's
(15:22):
my lullaby. But it's so it's like I don't want
to know what you're saying, right, Like I just need
like the because I feel like if it's complete silence,
I'm gonna be in my brain thinking about so much stuff.
Oh so this is like yeah, or soothing. Yeah, it's
(15:43):
like yeah, I'll be like, you know, just coming up
with my grocery list or having conversations with myself like whatever,
like my to do list, like if I don't have
that noise to distract me. But you know, there's surveys
that say that you don't really get good sleep. I
know I have seen our to cools where they're like,
you want your best sleep, turn off the t V.
Don't even have a TV? Yes, like thirty minutes before Yeah, yeah,
(16:07):
I try to do that because my trainer, my new
trainer's name is Tyrone. He's we love Tyrone. He's very expensively,
he's worth every time he has me before I got
go to bed plank. But for plank for a minute
and do that three times. Yeah. So I'm just I'm
on the floor planking, and sometimes I incorporate like push
(16:29):
ups with it. Yes. I find though that when I
work out close, like in the evening, closer to bedtime,
I really can't sleep because it works you up. But
like a little one minute plank three times, you can
do that. I don't anyone, yes, but but I think
it gets like your metabolism up a little bit, so
that when you're sleeping, all the calories are just washing
away and your abs yes pop out, yes, and I
(16:51):
just wake up beautiful. That's awesome. Okay. So Robin, do
you already know to answer to this? Do you drive fast?
A slow? Let me tell you'll something about Robin Dixon.
She is speedy Gonzalez on them streets. Okay. Robin drives
so freaking fast. On time, I had to follow her
somewhere and I was like, well, God, damn, does she
want to lose me? Is she trying to lose me?
(17:11):
I couldn't keep up. I think we were going around
the corner. I was like, what why is she driving
a hundred an? Okay? Okay? So I drive fast? Okay,
I don't drive as fast as I used to, Thank god,
thank god. Um, I would say I'm a halfway aggressive driver.
But but I'm a defensive driver, like I'm a good driver.
(17:34):
I'm a defensive driver. I'm checking out everything in front
of me and all that type of stuff. I might
move a little quicker than the most, you know what
I mean. Um, I'm trying to do better. I'm trying
to be a little more patient in the car. When
you have your kids in the car, do you feel
like this is safe? Um? Sometimes they're like whoa mom. Yeah, yeah,
they're like mom. But but you know, no surprise here.
(17:58):
Wan Dixon drives faster than Oh we already know that.
We already know speedy Gonzalis. So so how did so
you drive? I drive fast if only if I'm late, right, Okay,
but this is the problem. So on I live on
the street that I live on. I live my house
is at the end, so and you know, my neighbors
are very elderly. They're outside, they're walking to their dog dogs, right,
(18:23):
They're walking their dogs and or their grandchildren. And I'm
speeding down the street and they hate me. They literally stopped,
they stopped. They give me the meanest looks, and they're
like waving their hands like slow down, slow down, And
I'm like, but I gotta get these kids to school,
like back up off me and in y'all's lives, old people,
(18:44):
we're all going to get there one day. Hopefully you'll
have nothing to do but walk slow and complaint. Yes,
So on my street I drive fast, but everywhere else
I try to, like, you know, drop kind of slow.
I've gotten a lot of tickets, so I've slowed down.
Really yeah, okay, so you drive like the speedling it
or a little no no? Who drives a speed limit?
I'm just asking, um except my mama mother driving like
(19:09):
what are you doing? Um? I drive a little fasterion
than speed limit? Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, Um I
went in. I want to do drink coffee. I do
drink coffee. And there's a story to that. I'd like
to hear its story from me. So, I, for most
of my adult life did not drink coffee, never had
a taste for it, never liked it. But my friend Carly,
(19:31):
who is also our d oo, years ago, years ago,
invited me to her house to hang out. Okay, okay,
so I show up and there's some other people there
that I've never met. I don't know who are these people.
And if you got this briefcase of stuff in it,
(19:53):
wait a minute, she set you up to like buy coffee.
Oh my god, call these fires. Yes. So, come to
find out, Carly signed up with this company selling coffee. Okay, okay,
and one of the coffees they were selling was a
weight lost coffee. It's called burn in Control. I'll tell
you the name and everything if you want to go
(20:13):
on Amazon, because I go on Amazon and buy Annalyst
instead of going through Carly. So you did cut Carlie
of Callie needs her commission. If you can give Callie
this commission that we don't have to pay every reasonably
shading car it, Carly's commission got cut. Robin goes straight
to Amazon. Robin said, I don't need the middle man.
(20:36):
To hell with the middleman. I'm going straight to Amazon.
Carlie one needs her commission, damn it. Oh my god.
All right, that was supposed to go there. But okay.
So it's called Ja Vita, and the coffee that I
drink is Burning Control coffee. And there's sticks. It's instant
coffee in a stick okay, okay, So I said you
could lose weight, and at that time I was a
(20:58):
little overweight. All it was like, you know, I usually
at that time I would gain weight in the wintertime.
My you know whatever, just get all puffy and stuff.
So I literally had about fifteen pounds I needed to lose.
I started drinking the coffee. So I said, oh, let
me drink this coffee. I started drinking the coffee. I
lost twelve pounds. What in like, sig what a devita at?
(21:23):
Sign me up, Carly. I'm gonna give your commission. Okay,
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do you like Robin
did you? I lost like twelve pounds in like two
to three weeks. Okay. So I have been hooked and
addicted to that coffee ever since Carly, how many years ago?
Is at like four? Okay? So wait a minute, this
is just like one cup in the morning. Yes, yes,
(21:44):
so it's one cup in the morning. I have been
drinking this coffee faithfully for four years. But Carly no
longer sells it with the company. And I found that
it's on Amazon for a lot cheaper than which you
can buy it, you know, the company, So I just
get it from Amazon. But now for me, it's like
I feel like if I stopped drinking it, I'm going
to gain twelve pounds. Also, it's a mental thing. Okay, listen,
(22:10):
whatever the companies need to do to trick these people
and to keep staying with it, it's all. But I
end up actually like now, I actually like it. And
whenever I have if, and I rarely if if it's
not like mine Jabuta coffee, like, I don't want it, right,
So I'm not like going to Starbucks and mining coffee
or dunkin Donuts. However, like in a hotel, I don't
(22:30):
want it. But if I happen to have coffee out,
I don't like it. Yeah, no I'm not. I'm not
a coffee drink er. I think coffee is disgusting. It
smells really weird. It has some good properties for you, yeah,
it makes you sure, okay, yeah, well and it's good
for your heart, right yeah, yeah, very good. And then
but and I know why you don't drink coffee because
(22:50):
you don't want your teeth to stain your your white teeth.
Oh yeah, that well that too. But I never got
into it, and I just felt like I don't want
to be um depending depended on it. And for me,
it's not even about the caffeine, Like I'm sorry, there's
nothing in this world that gives me energy, Like nothing
we know, we are clear, there's nothing that's gonna make
(23:14):
me say, let me get up off this couch. So, Robin,
do you wash your face every night? Okay? This is
very important especially for women. Do you wash your face
every night before bed? And do you shower every night
before bed? And and or now the reason why the
(23:35):
face washing is very important because you have to like
get all of the particles in the dirt off your face,
right the makeup. Okay, So I definitely have uh times
when I slip and I do not fully wash my
face these you're drunken nights, like what what what happened?
When I'm just tired and I don't feel it's tired, okay,
all right, where I just use off makeup wipe okay, bubble,
(24:00):
So but that's still that's something, that's something, but it's
still not like that's still not good for your face,
Like you literally need to like get all of that
dirt and grime off your face, put all your nice
seer rooms on can you know, be exfoliated and the
morning all that stuff. Um, So I would say, um,
(24:23):
what percent of the time do wash my face? I'm
a hundred percent. By the Really, I can maybe count
on one hand how many times in the past, like
twenty years I didn't do it, and I was just
very drunk, really like like straight up. I just was
like crawling into the bed. Yeah, I'm probably like or
like maybe sixty Okay, so you really never do it?
(24:48):
I do. That's like half the time, okay, se Okay,
you're a seventy Yeah, okay, okay, it's very important. I
know it is. I know. And then and then I'll
be like mad because I'm like, oh, I'm my face
needs to be exfiliating. Yes whatever. Yeah, it's so women
(25:09):
y'all need to make sure you So I washed my
face and then I put like about eight different products on.
This is this is my situation is an absurdity. Okay
when you start so yeah, so the routine is I
this is all like a twenty minute thing. Yeah yeah,
so wash my face, put all my products on. In
(25:32):
the wintertime, it's more products because you know, skinner skin
is dry all that. And then I like if I'm
in the bed, like I wanted to kind of like
dry before I put my head on the pillow. Right, Yes, yes, yes,
what you should right, you want it all soak in? Right,
But like, do you shower before you get into bed?
I'll be getting into bed, funky, y'all. I'm just here
(25:53):
to tell you, like, like there's some days I shower
and some days it depends on my day. It depends
on my day. It depends on my day. But but no,
I'm not one that. Like, so some people shower at
night and and go and don't shower in the morning.
They go straight to work in the morning. How do
you do that? Right, I don't know. I don't know.
I think that's nasty. Like I have to shower before
(26:13):
I leave the house, right, So y'all people that are
like showering before you go to bed and then get
up in the water and just like put your clothes
on and walk out, you're just you're nasty because like
I sweat at night a little bit. But if they
shower at night and they're just in the bed, but like,
what happened, aren't you like sweating or something? I mean,
(26:33):
maybe they don't okay, or like, but you've been in
the bed sleep and I just feel like particles are
landing on your face. So you don't think it's nasty.
If you were like walking around town going to lunch
and then you don't shower and you get good, you
don't think that's nasty. I don't know, Robin, who does that?
I don't know, like definitely have like if I'm out
(26:54):
and about, yes, that that that that outside has to
come off for sure. But if I'm been in the
house all day, oh yeah, no, we're just getting in
the bed and calling it a day. I hate doing
this by I love it. So I was watching the
show the other day and I was in the bed.
It was actually it's called do You or and I.
It's about the do your house right? And I don't
(27:15):
want to say it was boring, but I had to
read it because it was it was subtitles, right. I
fell right on the sleep. That was the best sleep ever, really, Yes,
with the with the TV on look at there, Yes,
And I had to like fight to turn the TV off.
I was like, where's the remote? Let me fight to
find it. I can't find it. How many pillows do
(27:35):
you have on your bed? Okay, my like do I
sleep with or do I have on my bed? Like
when it's made up, when it's made up, When it's
made up, you don't count like every pillow Like yeah, okay, um,
I have thirteen. I just counted you have eleven. Okay,
so that's about right. It's such a freaking paint in
(27:56):
the ask to make the bed up in the morning, right, okay,
So do they all go the floor? They all go
on the floor, Okay, night. Okay. So this is this
is the pet. I wann't call it a pet peep.
So when I get in the bed first, I take
all the pillows off the bid, like, you know, all
the pillows. When one gets in the bid first, he
literally only takes off the pillows that affect his side.
(28:20):
I'm like, what one don't all right? That's not nice?
Like so he literally so like I'll walk in and
he'll literally be like sleep like stuck on his side
of the bid with all the pillows next to him
because he couldn't take them off the bed. I'm like, dude,
that's wrong. But it's so weird. Like even if he's
(28:41):
on the road, even if he's not here, I have
to take all the really yeah, oh no, I just
like take off what needs to take off, and I
actually just like move him over. Really, yes, you know
they all got to come off, yes, yes, yes, yes,
all right, so last one not least, do you? Okay?
So I'm all about trying to do whatever I can
to help the world, and it's um recycling because I
(29:04):
really don't recycle. You don't, I know that's a really
bad and I and I take long showers, but I
do turn all the lights off, like I don't really
try to like turn the light on in that room
and in it, right, Okay. Do you have bags that
you take to the grocery store. I do not. And
you know, in Maryland, like I know in my Garmer
County and had County, the charge they charge you for
(29:25):
use bags. So how many bags did you use? And
they're charge you, like, I don't know, five it's five cents.
So it's so they want you to use the recycle breaks,
right right, I do not. I don't know. And it's
so because even I don't even have them in my
car because I used to have a whole stash in
my car and I would still forget to bring them
into the store. And so I get to the checkoutline
(29:47):
on me like, oh I forgot my bag, right, but
I okay, but have you ever done that? And then
because they know that you had the bags in your car,
they don't charge you the five cents. Oh no, I've
done that. Was like, oh my god, I forgot Oh okay.
So they're like, okay, we'll save you some money. Yes,
so you so you bring your bags in? I bring
(30:07):
my bag? Yes, really, I um, you know I ain't
all that way. But you don't recycle. It's crazy the right.
So this is my contributor, This is my contribution to
the whole recycling and all that. I think I'm doing
better than you really because you're recycling. Okay, let me
tell you what happened with my recycling, my recycled trash camp. Broke.
(30:29):
Oh and so I just said I'm not doing this.
So you didn't call the county and say my recycling
trash camp Broke said to take this one and bring
me another one. Robin, you have just motivated me. When
we get off this podcast, I'm going to call them.
It's very easy to do. Yes, I'm going to call them.
I recycle, I mean not, you know, yes, to do
my part. But also because the recycling, the recycling bulls
(30:51):
take up so much space in my garbage they do,
so it's like great to have it separated so that
because oh my gosh, if I didn't recycle, we would
be taking the trash out every every half a day,
like twice a day, would Don't you take the trash
out every day? Um? No, not if it's not full? Okay,
(31:12):
So the question is do you take your trash out
every day? And my trash be going out? Can I
take who my trash girl is? Grace is the trash
girl at my house, so she's responsible for taking the
trash out every day. So she takes it outside your house? Yes?
And then who takes it down your long driveway? That's
(31:32):
once a week, once a week, that'll be either Um,
that's Angel and Grace's responsibility a door for whatever reason,
got she's she has she has no jobs? Yes, So okay.
So you so you empty your trash like from your
kitchen or from your whole house every just from the kitchen.
From the kitchen, yes, okay, because you just don't want
to like smells and stuff, right, but sometimes we like
(31:54):
put things in the kitchen like from the rest of
the house because we know that that's going out, got it? Yeah, okay, yeah, no,
we don't take it out everything. I mean, it almost
ends up being every day because it just gets so full.
But um, but it's not intentional like, oh take the
trash out every day. Okay, all right, okay, if you're
kitchen a stinky, that's so on you, well is it not?
(32:17):
And most like if it's like a food product, I
put it down the garbage. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Oh wait a minute, by the way, okay, and then
this is at guys were almost finished this episode. Did
I tell you my my kitchen sink exploded? Oh? You
did tell me that because the hair. So I was
washing my kid's hair sometimes in the kitchen sink. Okay, y'all,
don't do that unless yeah, unless you have like the
(32:37):
little strainer catcher thing, which I didn't have. I have
for now because I know better. So anyway, I told
my contractor and he sent a plumber over and they
snaked it all out and it was nothing but hair
discussed and he pulled it out and he was so nasty.
It was disgusting. So that was from like a long
that was. That wasn't just from you washing the hair
one time. That was like, it was like somewhere within
(32:59):
the tubes and not the twobs. What do they call
pipes and the pipes? Yes, And I told you the
plumber also does cabinets, Yes, which blew by my I
thought plumbers just did the plumbing. He said he could
fix my cabinets too. I said, well, god damn, you
are hired. Okay, all right, we are out of here. Guys.

(00:22):
I am Gazelle Bryant. What's up? What's up? Everyone? I'm
robbing Dickson? Is is that a thing? Dixon Dixong Dixon
Dixon Dixons Dickson Dix. I have you're saying Dick about
several times, and I have several things to stay behind that,
but I'm not going to because we're gonna keep this clean. Okay, So,
(00:45):
um reasonably shady moment. Do you have any Yeah, I'm
going to give it to that Dick soon upstairs. That
wand Dickson what's his middle name? Again? You mean were
like a few episodes ago, I was complaining about the
(01:07):
brother in law leaving the big bottles. Now one wants
to try to work out again, and he's leaving his
freaking workout bottles in the sink like a prmis or whatever,
like with this protein shake and his pre workout and
his post work out. And it's like and it's like
all these damn but shaker bottles in my sink and
(01:29):
I'm not washing them, I'm not putting them in the dishwasher.
I'm not rinsing them out. I'm not washing them. I'm
sick of it. Oh sugar, okay, wanted tonio, I suggest
you watch your own damn bottles because Robin ain't having it, sugar, okay,
all right. So I have not talked about any renovation
(01:53):
in my house just because you know. I'm at the
tail end of this thing, thank you Jesus. So I'm
on the outside portion. I'm doing like a little pat yo,
a little fire pit action. Um A, what do you
call those things that you cook on that grill? A grill?
I don't want to grill, but for whatever reason, my
contract did and brought me a grill. Oh my god? Whatever,
(02:13):
what's this here? I'm not even gonna complain this here? Okay?
So I say to him, I've been waiting for the
fire pit to be installed for about three months. So
I say to my contractor, when does the fire pick come?
He said, what do you sell the fire pit? I said, yeah,
when does that come? And he said, I thought you
(02:35):
ordered it? Oh lord. So I said, I'm not gonna
CAUs I'm just gonna order it. Oh my god. So
this fire pits coming from Amazon. I just want you
to know and it will be at my house seven days,
nice and rinky than fire pits coming from Amazon. Seven
(02:56):
days will be in my house and it will be installed.
And I just want you to know my contractor is shady. Okay, wait,
did you but was the contractor is supposed to receive
money from you to order it? Well? Does he orders
up and the reimburse it? He orders it, not reimburse really? Yeah,
And if he needs money from me, he knows, just
to say that, like if he needs it in advance,
because let's say the purchase is too big, then he knows. Yeah.
We we got with this. We were two years in,
(03:18):
so we have that established. But some things I do
order because I want to pick them, and some things
he ordered so but I specifically said no. He specifically
said he was going to order the fire pit because
there's a lot to it, like there's either propane, there's electric,
there's all these things that I don't know anything about.
But guess what that fire bits coming? Okay? I hope
(03:40):
I did too, And I don't care what I got.
They're gonna install it whatever it is, install it the ends,
all right, can't wait to use it. I know it's
gonna be great, We're gonna marshmallow We're gonna like roast
marshmallows and stuff. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna have some
hot dates. What are you gonna cook on the grill? Well, okay,
this girl probably will never be used because I'm not
(04:00):
a grill. A griller, No, I'm not. I think grilling
is for like, very large football players. I envision anyone
grilling that they're big, their men, they have beards. Speaking
of beards, Okay, so there was a basketball trade from
I don't know what what. Okay, you talk about James Harden, Yes,
(04:22):
going from the Nets to the Sixers, But did the
Sixers really know that's James Harden because no one can
see his face? Because that beard is the most disgusting
thing I've ever seen. The other day, I was like,
who is this dude? Oh? This is hardened? But how
would you know? That beard is like down to his knees.
There's fried chicken in the beard. You know, it's so funny.
(04:43):
I'm so used to it. I don't even notice it anymore.
I want, but like, that beard look is gone? Aren't
we done with that? I don't think so. Listen, Yeah,
he clearly loves his beard. He does. I wanted to
be gone. I just hope it's sanitary. Anytime I see them,
I automatically know and feeling my gut that there's fried
(05:04):
chicken in there's beards, fried chicken, grease, watermelon, there's some
cult forty five in there. Now racist, this is horrible.
Let me just stop by my head, James Harden, I
beg them blood. Definitely some blood. It's some blinds. The
whole thing smells like weed. I know it does. Okay,
(05:25):
I don't even know if he smokes swed. We're really sorry, Hardened,
cut the thing off. Yes, I feel like a beard
to go look at it. I'm so you know, you know,
I watched sports, I watched all the time, so like
I'm like immune to his beard, Like I don't even
see it anymore. But but after the beard gets away
from the face like a half inch, that's it. But
(05:45):
that's the look. But who started this look? Do you
know who started it? Osama Bin Laden and he is dead. Okay,
So Hardened, cut your beard. That's all I have to
say about that. Okay, So this is actually is actually
the last day of Black History Month, and there's a
couple of things I want to say clearly, Um, I
(06:08):
feel like, you know, the world is realizing that black
people need to be honored and all that good stuff.
So a couple weeks ago, Vogue came out with their
cover and all that's good stuff. Where their spread or whatever,
and it was Kim Kardashi. Yes, and we love Kim.
We think Kim is great, and we really are happy
(06:29):
for her because she's happy now because she has Pete. Okay,
and Kanye has decided he's gonna stop tweeting and he's
taking down all of his tweets. Believe that. Well, we'll see. Anyway,
we're not talking about Kanye ever again. Okay, so why
couldn't I Can I just say real quick, I think
Kanye is acting a fool just so you can talk
about him. I think so too. That's why we're not
(06:50):
talking about him. I thought about that. You tell me
that the other day, and I thought about that, and
I was like, you know what, Robin's onto something. Kanye
knows what he's doing. He knows that right now, everyone
knows that him and Can going through a divorce, and
he's gonna use it to his advantage, you specifically, because
he knows that you have said, I'm not talking about
Kanye anymore. So he's doing this such as I can
(07:12):
talk that, you can talk about her way that man
gets under my skin. I do want to say that
because his um work slash rain boots slash Boltega boots
are horrible. Guy, Stop wearing those. Then we'll talk about
you again. K Okay, But I mean, so much has
happened and we have we have kind of skipped over
all of that that has happened with him. So hopefully
by the time we hear this, you know, he's kind
(07:33):
of simmer down. He will simmer down. I don't know
if those boots are gonna simmer down. But anyway, so
back to what we were saying about Vogue. Okay, Andre
Leon Tally, Yes, who passed away, who was a fashion icon.
He was the first black man that like broke through
and was allowed to even be in the room with
the hot couture and the Givon sheds and the call
(07:56):
lack of fields of the world. Right, why couldn't he
be on the cover in so my theory is that
he probably wasn't on good terms with them. Well, yes,
I believe that, which is unfortunate It's like, okay, you
all can still whatever whatever happened in the past, because
he and Anna went tour aren't friends anymore, right, right
(08:16):
and Anna went were still at Vogue, right, Yes? Yeah,
I mean whatever their beef is is unfortunate. Is that
deep that they couldn't even show him respect and put
him on their cover during Black I'm well, then, well,
then like give him an insert? Did he have a
spread like inside? I don't know, I just but but
but to give it to Kim who is she's not black?
(08:40):
But you know, they planning these covers like so whoever,
their PR team is yelling that properly planning your calendar
for the year. But they should have said, oh, I
was going to die, right, So maybe I wonder I
wonder how far in advance it was printed, you know
what I mean? Yeah, okay, so we'll cut them some slack.
May be I think they had Matt. I think they
(09:01):
had major beef um and that magazine was probably that
cover is probably already printed. Well, we'll we'll cut We'll
cut them some slack. That's fine, But I feel like
this is the reality of it. I don't know another
black person in the Vogue world right like after like
he he obviously forged the way, but like, I don't
(09:23):
know anyone that's come behind him, which speaks volumes and
and and. But I do know Naomi is very vocal.
Naomi Campbell who we love, Naomi Campbell walk, Naomi Campbell walk.
Naomi just wants you to know. I practice my Naomi
Campbell walk all the time. Me and my girls sat
around my house all the time. Um, she is very vocal,
and I know she speaks up about this whole situation.
(09:47):
So we're gonna leave it to Naomi. She's gonna handle it.
And that wasn't she on it? What was she onna
cover just recently with her new baby, Yeah British Vogue Okay, yeah,
and she's say I did leave some comments on this
is my baby. Yes that it's very interesting to me,
she said, Um, she said this is my biological baby. Yes.
(10:09):
I was like, wow, she wanted everybody to know. So
what is it? So she had a surrogate right, she
had to have Yeah, who's the daddy? Well, actually I
don't I can't even say that she had to have Like,
do we have Naomi Campbell sightings in the past nine months? No,
she was never baby is Yeah, we've never we've never
seen a pregnate' and she's been walking a catwalk so
she has not been pregnant. Okay, so she had a surrogate, yes,
(10:31):
clearly with her own eggs. Yes, And who's the daddy sperm?
I'll ask her the next time we hang out, I'll
tell you all the next episode for us back to us. Okay,
So we do want to get back into these do
(10:51):
you questions? Okay, we got through one the last episode.
I know we didn't get through much, but but I
feel like, okay, so wait minute, gotta look him up.
See here, let's see, and y'all can send us some more, yes,
send us some more before we get into do you questions?
One last thing we were not one last thing, but
one thing we want to ask you guys, is there
um in light of Chelsea Chesley Chris and that very
(11:17):
unfortunate situation in which she committed suicide. We were moved
bother disturbed by that whole thing and want to talk
about it. Want to shut some light to depression, suicide
and all that that means. We would like for you
all to send us kind of like your stories. Yeah,
(11:38):
I mean I'm thinking, I want, I want to do
our part to help educate people, and not just people
who are suffering with depression, but people who have loved
ones that are suffering from depression. And I just feel
like it would be great if we could share a
personal story that if someone is willing to share it
with us, um from anyone that maybe has been to
(12:00):
the point of depression where um, you considered hurting yourself
or taking your life, to help us understand what exactly
does that maybe feel like, or how do you get
to that point? How can people we want to know,
how can people around you support you? Um See, I
just want to see if there's anything we can share
that's that's useful to our listeners, just to be able
(12:21):
to know how to help people who maybe in that
space and help us understand, because you know, we look
at Chesley Chris. She was a former Miss US, a
former Miss USA. She was so beautiful and from what
we could see, you know, she was so vibrant and
happy and happy and on extra and and just gorgeous
and had so much going for herself and so for
(12:43):
you know, a lot of people were looking at like wow,
like what was going on? What was she feeling to
do that. UM, I know this kind of dark, it's
might maybe triggering, it might be depressing. But if there's
any way that we can help, we want to help.
So if anyone is compelled to email us, UM your story. UM,
(13:05):
I don't know, I don't know if you feel like
typing it. If you don't, you can email a voice
memo whatever. UM, please send us a message to what's
up at reasonably shady dot com because we definitely want
to help people. UM, and we'll so that'll be an
episode coming up in the in the near future. By
the way, we had an episode a couple of weeks
ago that talked about like earning money, getting money, getting
(13:28):
your grinds on if you'll have made money since then,
having and I want our cut, okay, just saying just
feel free to send that into But you know what,
we did get an email from a listener that was
like they listened to that episode and they were motivated
to start a business. Oh, so you know it's her
(13:48):
name Melissa, Melissa. We want to cut Melissa. Who said that,
Oh Melissa, Oh that her name is not Melissa, Yes, yes,
but but yeah, so look, we're doing our job here
we come motivate one person. That's great. Hopefully we motivated
you know a lot more than that, but um, yes,
thank you. Okay, this is due you. Part two okay,
(14:14):
So do you, Robin sleep with the TV on or off?
Which one on or off? Both? I'm so yes. So
I fall asleep with it on. I have it's set
to turn off at two am. But I have to
go to sleep with the TV on. Really, I cannot
(14:35):
stand when I'm trying to go to sleep. I can't
stand complete silence and darkness. Oh wow, and I'm the
complete opposite. It has to be completely dark, like if
I'm at a hotel and you know how you close
the blinds, if that's that little sliver, like you know
that little slip, you know what I'll talk about that
was that ship would drive me crazy. I would jump
out the bed and like fix it and push your
like couch back so that it can't move out of
(14:57):
the sliver has to go. It has to be completely
dark and everything has to be off. Really yeah, no,
like I don't know what it is. I feel like
winner and it's weird. So my volume is literally turned
down to like seven six or seven, so you can barely.
You can't really hear what the people are saying or
what's going on, and it has to be on CNN.
That's my lullaby. Okay, don don you are singing that's
(15:22):
my lullaby. But it's so it's like I don't want
to know what you're saying, right, Like I just need
like the because I feel like if it's complete silence,
I'm gonna be in my brain thinking about so much stuff.
Oh so this is like yeah, or soothing. Yeah, it's
(15:43):
like yeah, I'll be like, you know, just coming up
with my grocery list or having conversations with myself like whatever,
like my to do list, like if I don't have
that noise to distract me. But you know, there's surveys
that say that you don't really get good sleep. I
know I have seen our to cools where they're like,
you want your best sleep, turn off the t V.
Don't even have a TV? Yes, like thirty minutes before Yeah, yeah,
(16:07):
I try to do that because my trainer, my new
trainer's name is Tyrone. He's we love Tyrone. He's very expensively,
he's worth every time he has me before I got
go to bed plank. But for plank for a minute
and do that three times. Yeah. So I'm just I'm
on the floor planking, and sometimes I incorporate like push
(16:29):
ups with it. Yes. I find though that when I
work out close, like in the evening, closer to bedtime,
I really can't sleep because it works you up. But
like a little one minute plank three times, you can
do that. I don't anyone, yes, but but I think
it gets like your metabolism up a little bit, so
that when you're sleeping, all the calories are just washing
away and your abs yes pop out, yes, and I
(16:51):
just wake up beautiful. That's awesome. Okay. So Robin, do
you already know to answer to this? Do you drive fast?
A slow? Let me tell you'll something about Robin Dixon.
She is speedy Gonzalez on them streets. Okay. Robin drives
so freaking fast. On time, I had to follow her
somewhere and I was like, well, God, damn, does she
want to lose me? Is she trying to lose me?
(17:11):
I couldn't keep up. I think we were going around
the corner. I was like, what why is she driving
a hundred an? Okay? Okay? So I drive fast? Okay,
I don't drive as fast as I used to, Thank god,
thank god. Um, I would say I'm a halfway aggressive driver.
But but I'm a defensive driver, like I'm a good driver.
(17:34):
I'm a defensive driver. I'm checking out everything in front
of me and all that type of stuff. I might
move a little quicker than the most, you know what
I mean. Um, I'm trying to do better. I'm trying
to be a little more patient in the car. When
you have your kids in the car, do you feel
like this is safe? Um? Sometimes they're like whoa mom. Yeah, yeah,
they're like mom. But but you know, no surprise here.
(17:58):
Wan Dixon drives faster than Oh we already know that.
We already know speedy Gonzalis. So so how did so
you drive? I drive fast if only if I'm late, right, Okay,
but this is the problem. So on I live on
the street that I live on. I live my house
is at the end, so and you know, my neighbors
are very elderly. They're outside, they're walking to their dog dogs, right,
(18:23):
They're walking their dogs and or their grandchildren. And I'm
speeding down the street and they hate me. They literally stopped,
they stopped. They give me the meanest looks, and they're
like waving their hands like slow down, slow down, And
I'm like, but I gotta get these kids to school,
like back up off me and in y'all's lives, old people,
(18:44):
we're all going to get there one day. Hopefully you'll
have nothing to do but walk slow and complaint. Yes,
So on my street I drive fast, but everywhere else
I try to, like, you know, drop kind of slow.
I've gotten a lot of tickets, so I've slowed down.
Really yeah, okay, so you drive like the speedling it
or a little no no? Who drives a speed limit?
I'm just asking, um except my mama mother driving like
(19:09):
what are you doing? Um? I drive a little fasterion
than speed limit? Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, Um I
went in. I want to do drink coffee. I do
drink coffee. And there's a story to that. I'd like
to hear its story from me. So, I, for most
of my adult life did not drink coffee, never had
a taste for it, never liked it. But my friend Carly,
(19:31):
who is also our d oo, years ago, years ago,
invited me to her house to hang out. Okay, okay,
so I show up and there's some other people there
that I've never met. I don't know who are these people.
And if you got this briefcase of stuff in it,
(19:53):
wait a minute, she set you up to like buy coffee.
Oh my god, call these fires. Yes. So, come to
find out, Carly signed up with this company selling coffee. Okay, okay,
and one of the coffees they were selling was a
weight lost coffee. It's called burn in Control. I'll tell
you the name and everything if you want to go
(20:13):
on Amazon, because I go on Amazon and buy Annalyst
instead of going through Carly. So you did cut Carlie
of Callie needs her commission. If you can give Callie
this commission that we don't have to pay every reasonably
shading car it, Carly's commission got cut. Robin goes straight
to Amazon. Robin said, I don't need the middle man.
(20:36):
To hell with the middleman. I'm going straight to Amazon.
Carlie one needs her commission, damn it. Oh my god.
All right, that was supposed to go there. But okay.
So it's called Ja Vita, and the coffee that I
drink is Burning Control coffee. And there's sticks. It's instant
coffee in a stick okay, okay, So I said you
could lose weight, and at that time I was a
(20:58):
little overweight. All it was like, you know, I usually
at that time I would gain weight in the wintertime.
My you know whatever, just get all puffy and stuff.
So I literally had about fifteen pounds I needed to lose.
I started drinking the coffee. So I said, oh, let
me drink this coffee. I started drinking the coffee. I
lost twelve pounds. What in like, sig what a devita at?
(21:23):
Sign me up, Carly. I'm gonna give your commission. Okay,
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do you like Robin
did you? I lost like twelve pounds in like two
to three weeks. Okay. So I have been hooked and
addicted to that coffee ever since Carly, how many years ago?
Is at like four? Okay? So wait a minute, this
is just like one cup in the morning. Yes, yes,
(21:44):
so it's one cup in the morning. I have been
drinking this coffee faithfully for four years. But Carly no
longer sells it with the company. And I found that
it's on Amazon for a lot cheaper than which you
can buy it, you know, the company, So I just
get it from Amazon. But now for me, it's like
I feel like if I stopped drinking it, I'm going
to gain twelve pounds. Also, it's a mental thing. Okay, listen,
(22:10):
whatever the companies need to do to trick these people
and to keep staying with it, it's all. But I
end up actually like now, I actually like it. And
whenever I have if, and I rarely if if it's
not like mine Jabuta coffee, like, I don't want it, right,
So I'm not like going to Starbucks and mining coffee
or dunkin Donuts. However, like in a hotel, I don't
(22:30):
want it. But if I happen to have coffee out,
I don't like it. Yeah, no I'm not. I'm not
a coffee drink er. I think coffee is disgusting. It
smells really weird. It has some good properties for you, yeah,
it makes you sure, okay, yeah, well and it's good
for your heart, right yeah, yeah, very good. And then
but and I know why you don't drink coffee because
(22:50):
you don't want your teeth to stain your your white teeth.
Oh yeah, that well that too. But I never got
into it, and I just felt like I don't want
to be um depending depended on it. And for me,
it's not even about the caffeine, Like I'm sorry, there's
nothing in this world that gives me energy, Like nothing
we know, we are clear, there's nothing that's gonna make
(23:14):
me say, let me get up off this couch. So, Robin,
do you wash your face every night? Okay? This is
very important especially for women. Do you wash your face
every night before bed? And do you shower every night
before bed? And and or now the reason why the
(23:35):
face washing is very important because you have to like
get all of the particles in the dirt off your face,
right the makeup. Okay, So I definitely have uh times
when I slip and I do not fully wash my
face these you're drunken nights, like what what what happened?
When I'm just tired and I don't feel it's tired, okay,
all right, where I just use off makeup wipe okay, bubble,
(24:00):
So but that's still that's something, that's something, but it's
still not like that's still not good for your face,
Like you literally need to like get all of that
dirt and grime off your face, put all your nice
seer rooms on can you know, be exfoliated and the
morning all that stuff. Um, So I would say, um,
(24:23):
what percent of the time do wash my face? I'm
a hundred percent. By the Really, I can maybe count
on one hand how many times in the past, like
twenty years I didn't do it, and I was just
very drunk, really like like straight up. I just was
like crawling into the bed. Yeah, I'm probably like or
like maybe sixty Okay, so you really never do it?
(24:48):
I do. That's like half the time, okay, se Okay,
you're a seventy Yeah, okay, okay, it's very important. I
know it is. I know. And then and then I'll
be like mad because I'm like, oh, I'm my face
needs to be exfiliating. Yes whatever. Yeah, it's so women
(25:09):
y'all need to make sure you So I washed my
face and then I put like about eight different products on.
This is this is my situation is an absurdity. Okay
when you start so yeah, so the routine is I
this is all like a twenty minute thing. Yeah yeah,
so wash my face, put all my products on. In
(25:32):
the wintertime, it's more products because you know, skinner skin
is dry all that. And then I like if I'm
in the bed, like I wanted to kind of like
dry before I put my head on the pillow. Right, Yes, yes, yes,
what you should right, you want it all soak in? Right,
But like, do you shower before you get into bed?
I'll be getting into bed, funky, y'all. I'm just here
(25:53):
to tell you, like, like there's some days I shower
and some days it depends on my day. It depends
on my day. It depends on my day. But but no,
I'm not one that. Like, so some people shower at
night and and go and don't shower in the morning.
They go straight to work in the morning. How do
you do that? Right, I don't know. I don't know.
I think that's nasty. Like I have to shower before
(26:13):
I leave the house, right, So y'all people that are
like showering before you go to bed and then get
up in the water and just like put your clothes
on and walk out, you're just you're nasty because like
I sweat at night a little bit. But if they
shower at night and they're just in the bed, but like,
what happened, aren't you like sweating or something? I mean,
(26:33):
maybe they don't okay, or like, but you've been in
the bed sleep and I just feel like particles are
landing on your face. So you don't think it's nasty.
If you were like walking around town going to lunch
and then you don't shower and you get good, you
don't think that's nasty. I don't know, Robin, who does that?
I don't know, like definitely have like if I'm out
(26:54):
and about, yes, that that that that outside has to
come off for sure. But if I'm been in the
house all day, oh yeah, no, we're just getting in
the bed and calling it a day. I hate doing
this by I love it. So I was watching the
show the other day and I was in the bed.
It was actually it's called do You or and I.
It's about the do your house right? And I don't
(27:15):
want to say it was boring, but I had to
read it because it was it was subtitles, right. I
fell right on the sleep. That was the best sleep ever, really, Yes,
with the with the TV on look at there, Yes,
And I had to like fight to turn the TV off.
I was like, where's the remote? Let me fight to
find it. I can't find it. How many pillows do
(27:35):
you have on your bed? Okay, my like do I
sleep with or do I have on my bed? Like
when it's made up, when it's made up, When it's
made up, you don't count like every pillow Like yeah, okay, um,
I have thirteen. I just counted you have eleven. Okay,
so that's about right. It's such a freaking paint in
(27:56):
the ask to make the bed up in the morning, right, okay,
So do they all go the floor? They all go
on the floor, Okay, night. Okay. So this is this
is the pet. I wann't call it a pet peep.
So when I get in the bed first, I take
all the pillows off the bid, like, you know, all
the pillows. When one gets in the bid first, he
literally only takes off the pillows that affect his side.
(28:20):
I'm like, what one don't all right? That's not nice?
Like so he literally so like I'll walk in and
he'll literally be like sleep like stuck on his side
of the bid with all the pillows next to him
because he couldn't take them off the bed. I'm like, dude,
that's wrong. But it's so weird. Like even if he's
(28:41):
on the road, even if he's not here, I have
to take all the really yeah, oh no, I just
like take off what needs to take off, and I
actually just like move him over. Really, yes, you know
they all got to come off, yes, yes, yes, yes,
all right, so last one not least, do you? Okay?
So I'm all about trying to do whatever I can
to help the world, and it's um recycling because I
(29:04):
really don't recycle. You don't, I know that's a really
bad and I and I take long showers, but I
do turn all the lights off, like I don't really
try to like turn the light on in that room
and in it, right, Okay. Do you have bags that
you take to the grocery store. I do not. And
you know, in Maryland, like I know in my Garmer
County and had County, the charge they charge you for
(29:25):
use bags. So how many bags did you use? And
they're charge you, like, I don't know, five it's five cents.
So it's so they want you to use the recycle breaks,
right right, I do not. I don't know. And it's
so because even I don't even have them in my
car because I used to have a whole stash in
my car and I would still forget to bring them
into the store. And so I get to the checkoutline
(29:47):
on me like, oh I forgot my bag, right, but
I okay, but have you ever done that? And then
because they know that you had the bags in your car,
they don't charge you the five cents. Oh no, I've
done that. Was like, oh my god, I forgot Oh okay.
So they're like, okay, we'll save you some money. Yes,
so you so you bring your bags in? I bring
(30:07):
my bag? Yes, really, I um, you know I ain't
all that way. But you don't recycle. It's crazy the right.
So this is my contributor, This is my contribution to
the whole recycling and all that. I think I'm doing
better than you really because you're recycling. Okay, let me
tell you what happened with my recycling, my recycled trash camp. Broke.
(30:29):
Oh and so I just said I'm not doing this.
So you didn't call the county and say my recycling
trash camp Broke said to take this one and bring
me another one. Robin, you have just motivated me. When
we get off this podcast, I'm going to call them.
It's very easy to do. Yes, I'm going to call them.
I recycle, I mean not, you know, yes, to do
my part. But also because the recycling, the recycling bulls
(30:51):
take up so much space in my garbage they do,
so it's like great to have it separated so that
because oh my gosh, if I didn't recycle, we would
be taking the trash out every every half a day,
like twice a day, would Don't you take the trash
out every day? Um? No, not if it's not full? Okay,
(31:12):
So the question is do you take your trash out
every day? And my trash be going out? Can I
take who my trash girl is? Grace is the trash
girl at my house, so she's responsible for taking the
trash out every day. So she takes it outside your house? Yes?
And then who takes it down your long driveway? That's
(31:32):
once a week, once a week, that'll be either Um,
that's Angel and Grace's responsibility a door for whatever reason,
got she's she has she has no jobs? Yes, So okay.
So you so you empty your trash like from your
kitchen or from your whole house every just from the kitchen.
From the kitchen, yes, okay, because you just don't want
to like smells and stuff, right, but sometimes we like
(31:54):
put things in the kitchen like from the rest of
the house because we know that that's going out, got it? Yeah, okay, yeah, no,
we don't take it out everything. I mean, it almost
ends up being every day because it just gets so full.
But um, but it's not intentional like, oh take the
trash out every day. Okay, all right, okay, if you're
kitchen a stinky, that's so on you, well is it not?
(32:17):
And most like if it's like a food product, I
put it down the garbage. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Oh wait a minute, by the way, okay, and then
this is at guys were almost finished this episode. Did
I tell you my my kitchen sink exploded? Oh? You
did tell me that because the hair. So I was
washing my kid's hair sometimes in the kitchen sink. Okay, y'all,
don't do that unless yeah, unless you have like the
(32:37):
little strainer catcher thing, which I didn't have. I have
for now because I know better. So anyway, I told
my contractor and he sent a plumber over and they
snaked it all out and it was nothing but hair
discussed and he pulled it out and he was so nasty.
It was disgusting. So that was from like a long
that was. That wasn't just from you washing the hair
one time. That was like, it was like somewhere within
(32:59):
the tubes and not the twobs. What do they call
pipes and the pipes? Yes, And I told you the
plumber also does cabinets, Yes, which blew by my I
thought plumbers just did the plumbing. He said he could
fix my cabinets too. I said, well, god damn, you
are hired. Okay, all right, we are out of here. Guys.
