paid off of clicks? Yeah? Oh, they get paid for
the number of people that click on their site.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yes, because they have ads, Like so their site, there's
a bunch of advertisers. You know, on the on the column,
top and the bottom and all that and throughout. So

My shady moment is Yes, I went got my hair done,
okay from Callisto Blount, Yes, also known as Cal. We
love Cal, who looked at me and now mind you,
so I had this was just my hair, no extensions,
no nothing, it's my hair. I'm went in there to
(11:28):
get some color. And he looks at me and he
was like, your hair looks horrible. Oh. He was like,
what the hell happened to your hair? He was like,
what are you doing? What are we gonna talk about
your dry ends? Oh? My god? And he's talking to
me just like that, like no sugar, that's how Shirley
talks to me. Yes, okay, we talk about your dry ends.
(11:49):
I said, God damn.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
So I just sat down in his chair and proceeded
to get my hair done. But he said, tell me
what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What are you doing? Because Cal's thing is healthy hair. Okay.
He wants everybody's hair to look healthy, be shiny and sacred.

No, no, beyond miss said this Beyonce hater by the way,
I'm not going to Cowboy Cawdor toy okay tour, I
can't talk. Okay, going to get that in a second.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
So anyway, my shady moment is cow gave it to
me straight, which was my hair was looking dry and
brutal and damaged. Okay, Cal like, does your hair That's
what I'm saying. But he really, I mean, I've been
kind of doing it myself because I've been on the road,
and but He's like, just, oh, you have to come
get your hair done. Do you know you don't come
and get your hair done? And I was like, I'm sorry.
(12:37):
So he was like, when you go to Robin's house,
just come and get your hair done.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
And I was like, because he had me, you know,
sit under this steam all it's nonsense.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Anyway, my hair feels very luxurious right now. But the
shady part was col was just so mean to me
and told me my edges.
Speaker 3 (12:52):

Okay, Well you know what, you got your ticket yeah too,
me and cow for the DC shows. Yeah, okay, fourth
of July.
Speaker 1 (13:16):

Speaker 3 (13:18):
I actually would like thought about getting the ones on
the stage, like the b Hive ones.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Really the five thousand dollars ones, the six thousand dollar ones.
I said, hell no, I thought they were like twenty
four hundred or something. Well there was okay, okay, Beyonce,
like seriously, like the range of price for these tickets
was absurd, Yes, because on the floor floor like where
you're talking about, what I was looking at was like
six thousand, five thousand, four thousand, and then there was
(13:43):
some twenty five hundred. Yeah, mom was twelve okay, And
I felt like twelve hundred dolls? Is it? Because I
had to buy two? Yeah, So like no, that's it. Yeah,
I don't think I'm doing it. I just don't, okay,
because I'll tell you why. And I understand because I mean,
like it's crazy times out here. Yeah, financially, yeah it is,
but it's this, it's not even that.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
It's just like I, you know, you remember how I
you know, I went to Renaissance.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I enjoyed it, but I wasn't like ooh, I'm so
happy I went. Oh, I loved it, but go ahead.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
And then I feel like I'm going to see enough
on social media.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I'm going to see the whole show. But it's a
different experience with you being there. I know. But it's
all right.
Speaker 3 (14:27):

It is Beance won't be mad. She won't. Yeah, she
con miss me if I'm nothing, so I must be there. Yea,

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Did learn, like the day of the show or the
day before the show, people got tickets for like much
less much less expensive.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I'm good decent seats.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
So that tells me like if when the when the
time comes for the show, if I'm feeling a little
you know, fomo left out, Okay, I'm bored, let me
go do something.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Then I'll just buy my ticket that day. Okay, that's fine.

he sends a picture of himself not catfish. We have
not heard from Dick Hurtz, so we already know Dick,

is from Meredith Stokely and this was written a while ago.
This is actually written in July. She said, Hi, ladies,

written in because Gazelle had me in stitches this week
when y'all were discussing deodorant products and Gazelle admitted she
has butt sweat. I just wanted to let Giselle know
that the fl term I guess the Oh. The Florida
(16:37):
term for summer butt sweat is literally called swamp as
swamp Did you know this? No, okay, I was a
bit surprised our Louisiana girl did not know the term.
But girl, we in Florida all know. You gotta how
you feel.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I got a little junk in my trunk too, So
it's usually swampy from May to September.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh, she got a swamp ass. Give us poor Charlotte,
Florida girls a shoutout for living daily with swamp ass
and use the term proudly. So I say to my

Speaker 1 (17:55):
But when it's sticky hot, that's a whole nother thing.
If it's dry hot, I'm cool with that, Yeah, but
like underwear sticking to your ass hot is not cool,
not comfortable. Yeah, and so and if. But now I
can just say I have swampy ass. Yes, yes, that's

(26:31):
So if that speaks to you, yes, let us know,
Yeah writ in yeah, say I want to up with Josh. Yeah, Josh,
who's the bodybuilding Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Okay, So I have a question since we're along lines
of like dating and stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yes, my favorite subject is.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Not necessarily just for dating, just when you go out
to dinner with other people.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Is this a date?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
No, it doesn't have to be. That's what I'm okay,
Like it can be a day, it doesn't have to be.
Ok Have you ever had experienced anyone asking the waiter
for a cup of hot water so that they can
put their silverware into the cup of hot water to
clean it. No, no, you haven't, have you this is
something you did.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
You did that.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
No, this is something that one did and does sometimes.
So he did it, so he doesn't do it as
much now now that like we're older and we go
like nicer restaurants. Oh okay, But like when I first
met him, and for a long long time, it didn't
like whenever we would be out at a restaurant, it's
like can I get a Can I get a Can
(27:32):
I get a cup.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Of hot water? And they'd be like yeah, sure, I'm
like okay, what's this work? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
And then hot water comes and he takes the silverware
and dumps it in, puts it in the hot water. Okay,
because you know, he doesn't trust that the silverware is clean,
And so for me, I'm like it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I get it. Yes, but it's just so like, oh,
like I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I'm like why, Like it's like I don't want to
use the word ghetto.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
It's like we can't.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Use that get I mean, I don't know what do
we call it. It's just like no, like why why
are you doing this?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Why are you doing this? Sir?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Be at like a nice restaurant or a restaurant and
he asks for plastic plastic?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
What forks and knives? Why because it's in the plastic?
Isn't because he's a germophobe or you know, like you
can't for him? Does does he? Has he ever talked
about therapist about this? He will get more sick from
the food, right than the utendanis I just need for
him to know.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
But when you think about it, think about it, the
utensils and the plates and the in the city. That's
when you just start going and it's like deep dive
the cups, the glasses. Yeah, yeah, you don't know who's
been using this stuff? No, and you don't know how
well it's been why.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
No, but you don't. But again, he'll get more sick
from the food and the preparation of the food. True
as opposed to the plates, the cups, the forks, the knives.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
True, so he needs to know that. Okay, so if
a man did that, if you're on a date, yeah,
so Jesus and a man did that.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, okay, well firs wh I'm not going to like
a booty restaurant. No, No, you're at a good rest very
nice restaurant.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
You at a nice restaurant, and I'm on a date
with wine walk it's our first date.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Why not going on my first day? And he asked
the guy for the waiter for a hot water and
then I see him take his utensils and slam them
into the cup of our water.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
But yes, that's probably our last date. Yes, no question,
because I'll be like what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
What are you doing? And like what else are you
going to be doing? Right? And like okay, and I'm okay,
let me just say this. I there might be times where,
unique to him, I know other people that do it. Okay,
we're gonna take wine out of this, but there are
times where like I'm not like, let's say it's a
passionate moment and it's just like I mean, like all
day sweat. Yeah, weeks we're getting it on.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Like this person that takes the hot water and sixty's utensils,
and it might require that I take a shower before we.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Get it on.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
But but like if it's a hot, sexy moment, like
I don't want him to be like, oh, go jump
in the shower right yet No, right, that would piss
me off.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Okay, Okay, yeah, I mean I understand where you're going
with that. Yes, let's just be in the moment. Yes,
And I mean I mean I'm normally clean.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Right, yes, But if that person is like with you,
like clearly they know you, they trust you, like you know,
they're willing to I mean I feel like if you're
willing to like kiss somebody, then like, yeah, the germ
thing is not an issue.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So so like.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I don't think that I don't really relate the two. Okay,
I don't think they apply. It's more on like I
don't know who was here eating, drinking or you know, using.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Does he deal with hotels? He hates them because somebody
has slept in that bad Yeah? Okay, yeah, I mean
the whole thing it's it's it's a it's a production.
It's and I'm kind of like that too, Like as
soon as we step foot in a hotel, it's we
are wiping, spraying everything and yes, and it is.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And we don't walk barefoot. We don't you know, we
don't really touch anything type of stuff. Okay, So it's
a it's a thing, it's a production.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Okay, all right, So we don't feel like we need
therapy for this, No, the Dixons not because we won't
just send one. We're sitting both of you, okay, maybe
even Corey like, oh oh yeah, my kids do y yeah,
they don't. All y'all are going together. Yeah, we're all like, yeah,
I'm gonna send a person to the house. So y'all
don't have to, like because we know you don't want
to leave, so right, but that's in our house. So
(31:29):
it's more like we gotta but y'all have to venture
out at some point. Yeah. Yeah, so you have to
be comfortable venturing out. I know, I'm sitting a therapist over. Yeah,
that's gonna be my Christmas your birthday present. Okay, great,
thank you, And the therapy is for the entire freaking family. Okay.
(31:53):

was a doozy. It could be. It's topic, it's how
you use it. Yeah, but it's a big thing. Okay, Yeah,

Speaker 3 (32:30):
I guess I don't know, but I feel like sometimes

to is a big Yeah. I'm like I want to

or bad.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeah, or big penises okay. Anyway, this is the counseling
Greek dated subject is dating. Oh okay, there's another dating
one because we got to give y'all people to figure
out whether or not you want to be with them. Okay,
So this is hey, Robin and Giselle. My name is
(33:19):
Andrea Anderson, and I'm fifty nine years old living in
charl Carrollton, Virginia, which is fifteen to twenty minutes from Hampton.
Newport News. Y'all know I know about Hampton. I'm a
professional school counselor in Newport News Public School District. As
well as starting my e commerce business online. I'm interested
in dating within and outside of my race, preferably with
(33:42):
men who are fifty five to sixty five, okay, that
are easy on the eyes and take care of their
bodies like I do. Thank you, ladies. So if you're
easy on the eyes, if you are available, because like,
don't be coming trying to date somebody and you got
like a wife in three side chicks like no. So
(34:04):
if you're available then and you live in like the
Newport Newsampton area, then let us know so we can
hook you up with Andrea. Okay, and we'll say a
man between fifty five and sixty five, fifty five to
sixty five, yeah, all right? Or if you know a man.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Yeah, so if you five, that's single one looking, if
you weren't married, what would your range be for you
to date? Hmmm?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
It would probably be forty and up forty to like
sixty maybe, okay, forty to fifty two?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Why fifty two because fifty three is too old joking? Okay,
because okay, because fifty two is like pushing it for me.
So yeah, okay, I think why I don't know, I mean, okay, okay,
maybe maybe if five fifty two okay, three, okay, fine,
(35:02):
fifty five okay, fine, all right, forty to fifty five?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
All right? What if he was like thirty eight hmm,
and he'd be on probation. He'd be on probation, yeah, okay,
he might get.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Fired, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah he would, Yeah, he'd be
on like, yeah, it would be probation.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
And for how long is probation? Six months a year,
ninety days at least six months, at least six months? Yeah, okay, yeah,
I feel that. I like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
So I'm not saying like I wouldn't talk to a
thirty eight year old, but I wouldn't take him seriously.
You know, it would just be like you know, you
kind of hang out or whatever, and yeah, have zero expectations,
zero expectations, just sex, yeah, sure, okay, and companionship incubation,
going to the movies that you don't go to.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, okay, all right, very good.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
All right, speaking of married and kids and all that
type of stuff. Yeah, we have a scenario, oh okay
that somebody emailed us.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Okay, one of our favorites, Hey, shout out to me me.
Maybe this is a what would you do? Scenario?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
It's not her scenario, but maybe lyon Maye Lion because
it's hard, sir sloways sending us these good scenarios. Okay,
but this is an interesting one, I thought. So the
title reads, my husband is mourning his dead mistress.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
What okay?
Speaker 3 (36:16):
By the way, do you ever come across on Instagram
people are like they're like sharing these stories.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yes, and when they're when they're sharing them, you're like, damn,
like girl, you got a lot going on? Yeah, like
what's going on?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
And then you realize like they're reading other people's stories. No,
so like every so, so they're they're and this is
probably where it's coming from. They're like Reddit posts or
stories from Reddit, and the person is reading it like
it's like them. Yeah, but it's like story time. Oh okay,
and then if you so, if you scroll their page,
(36:48):
then they're reading another story time and it's like a
completely different story. Okay, because this girl, because I was
on a deep dive with this girl that knew that
her husband was cheating and he was with his mistress
when he said he.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Kept going on these work trips. Right, so that was
all fake.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
So it's probably not really her. She's it's like story
she's having story time. She's reading someone else really story.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
I listened to the whole thing, right, and then she said, okay,
stay tuned for what's gonna happen when they when they land,
I stay tuned. I tried to scroll to figure out,
like what happened, but I couldn't get that information. Okay,
so maybe it was story time with story time. Okay,
y'all stop doing that.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Yeah, so, by the way, this is a story time.
By the way, are you ever on Reddit? No? Okay?
So I know people on Reddit and they enjoy it
because you know how X is too toxic. Huh. So
they say Reddit is better toxic, but not as doctic. Okay,
but it's given you the truth about like what's really
going on with the government and with Trump and all that.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
See, I feel like read it sometimes when I like
I google something, yeah, like search, some of the stuff
comes up from like Reddit or whatever, like a response
or whatever, and it just seems like Reddit can take
you on this like rabbit hole that you just can't.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Get out of. Okay, probably probably. Yeah, Well they was
entertaining trying to find out thread. Yeah, and oh that's intriguing. Okay,
that's interesting. Yeah, okay, all right, Okay, Yeah, I'm sure
there's a lot. Yeah, I'm sure we're missing out.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
I heard that people talk about you know, us on
Reddit a lot too, like just reality people in general,
like yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
People like oh yeah, they always talk about you on Reddit.
Oh okay, yeah I don't have Reddit. Yeah, I'm not
gonna there. Okay.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
So three months ago, Yeah, the woman who was having
an affair with my husband died suddenly from an accident.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Okay that did she kill him? Kill her? Did the
wife kill the side chick? No, Okay, she said.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
I found out about the affair only two days after
her funeral. I thought she was simply a coworker and
I was wondering why my husband was so disturbed and emotional.
He quit his job, saying it was too traumatic, too
traumatic to go to work. She was in the early
weeks of pregnancy when she died, and my husband doesn't
know whether he or her husband was the father. Oh so,
(39:04):
on top of everything, he's also grieving for a baby
which may or may not have been his. I find
it extremely difficult to be emotionally supportive when he wakes
up at three am crying and trembling. Yet I don't
have the heart to yell at him.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Like I want to.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
He says she's dead, so there's no reason for me
to feel jealous or threatened and ask for my understanding
as he grieves. We've barely talked these last weeks because
I don't know how to respond to him when he
cries and says he misses her and wishes she were here.
Then also how much he loves me and that he
never intended to leave me what. I asked him to
(39:40):
visit a marriage therapist together, and he said he is
not ready to work on our marriage and thinks he
needs to see a grief therapist instead. Do I need
to give him time to mourn the loss of his
mistress or should I demand he focus on our marriage? Right?
Speaker 1 (39:59):
This is why? Okay, so is this reasonable? Shady's that
the question? No, it's what would you do? What would
you do? Okay? What would I divorce? Ladies? Yes? Yeah,
this I feel.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Like you can't get You're never gonna work through this, no, like.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Ever, even though she's dead and she's quote not a
threat anymore. Like, I can't help you with your grief.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Like, so I can't be a spout a wife to you, right,
to my husband that's grieving, I can't help you.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Well, it's kind of similar to when your husband cheats
and there's a baby, Like he wants you to then
be nice to the baby, right, and I can't even
be nice to you. To you, so you got to go,
right and God bless you with the baby? Right? Yeah,
that's how I feel about this. Yeah, this is me too.
I'm like, yeah, no, like, forget working on the marriage.
(40:50):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I can't even help you recover from your grief in
order to work on the marriage.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Yeah, so you know, like we can't do this? Me me? Yeah,
that does that me? Me?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Okay, So which one I got to ask Mamie, tell
us which one on you are you the Well she's
not married, she's not married, she's not the mistress that died. Yeah,
so she's got to be the wife.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Yeah ish yeah, Yeah, that was wild. I was like, oh,
this is juicy. Okay, I have another random question.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Okay, Okay. When you're on the.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Phone talking to someone and you get a call coming in,
do you click over or do you just let her
go to voicemail and then call the person back.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
I let it go to voicemail and call the person back,
unless it's like somebody, I need to talk to you right,
then I'll be like, hold on a second, but it'll
be something like that's ten seconds not. I think at
this point, like I never want to be on my
phone anyway. So anybody disturbing the conversation that I really
don't want to even have, can wait? Yes?
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Yeah, yes, So that is like a huge issue in
my house. I want to say a huge issue, not
a huge okay, because I don't like to click over.
So if I'm on the phone with someone, I want
to finish my conversation.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, and then I'll call the person back. Wan who's
calling me? Right? Incessantly.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
Yes, okay, yes, you know, but he is like he
so when I do that, it drives him crazy because
he's like, just click over, just stay hold on and
click over and tell me you're gonna call me back.
And I'm like, no, Like I would rather finish my conversation,
especially if the other person is in the middle of
like talking, right, So like totally, if I'm the one
(42:31):
that's talking, then I might be like.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Oh wait, hold on for a second. Yeah, but I
don't like to interrupt people, right, right, And okay, when
you do, because it's wine, no shade to wine. But
when you know that, when you click over, he's saying nothing, right, right,
why are we doing this? Right? That's why I'm like,
you're just gonna be like what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Where are you or like what time are we picking
the core up? Yeah, I'm saying I'm like, that's not urgent.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
But it's not urgent. How about this one. I sent
a text and I'll text you back because you can.
I can talk in text, right. I don't like to
do it, but I mean a little bit, I can
do that. But yeah, no, and because this is what
you'll do, because because I know this scenario, you'd be like,
oh my god, you that wants blowing me up. I
gotta go because he didn't call four time. Just by
the time. Stop it.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
If we're on the phone and the phone is like
he calls, I don't answer that, he calls back, I
don't answer, and he calls again, I'm like, all right,
let me I gotta go, gotta go, And then you
click over and he's like, Rob, what's up will we
have for dinner?
Speaker 1 (43:30):
What?
Speaker 3 (43:32):
Boy? Me?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
I guess so I can't get mad. I've tried to
get divorced.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
But okay, but take him out of it. Just in general,
they're like that to me. My kids do that to me,
and I'm just like, quarter will blow me up?
Speaker 1 (43:47):
What is it? What is so important? Right? Nothing? Yes,
and a door will be like sitting in her bed
and she's just like, oh mom, I just want to
talk to you about what?
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Right I need to know about what? Yes, Yes, Corey
will blow me up if I don't answer. But in general,
if I'm on the phone, I'm talking to someone, I
want to finish that conversation.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Yeah before clicking over. Yeah, no, totally totally it's rude. Well,
it's not really rude, but it's just like, oh.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Yeah, it's just it's not rude, it's just yeah, it's yeah,
I just want to finish my conversation.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yeah, I'm going to help people at our age lose
their train of thought. It's quick, quick, even with my
blueberries quick. I'm like, what was I talking about? It
happens all the time exactly. Yeah, So like, let's just
finish conversation. Okay, I think that's it. You have No,
you don't have another moment? Okay, one more? Yeah, one more? Okay,
(44:41):
this is cute. Okay, this is really cute. This is
from Donna because the reason why I'm telling you to
read this last one because somebody has been dming me
saying y'all can make the podcast longer. Oh are y'all
getting like? And I'm like, okay, so I think I
feel like a good forty five minutes is a good
time frame from people's attention. It is good. Yeah, but
(45:02):
sometimes you don't get screen dad, but they love us.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
Yeah, all right, you want to hear more? Okay, so fine,
here's one more.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
It's really cute.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
This is from Donna Daferin aka Weezer Weezer.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I think that's her grandma name.
Speaker 3 (45:16):
Okay, so she says, hello, beautiful ladies. My granddaughter will
be three in March. I was recently diagnosed with level
three severe autism. Oh, they stated, she would probably only
mimic not really connect with what she is learning. Without
obviously having special needs classes, she does have a tablet
that she works with ABC's one, two, three's, colors, et cetera. Still,
(45:38):
we thought she was just mimicking because when we try
to engage her, she doesn't stay on tasks. She also
isn't very verbal. So last weekend we all went out
to eat and I was trying to engage her with
I was trying to engage with her so her mother,
who's my daughter, could enjoy her dinner with other family members. Oh,
we're good, Grandma. We were doing patty cake, and all
of a sudden, she looks up and then back at me,
(46:00):
and then back up and points up at my hat
and says r.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
E. And when she said he, I realized what she
was doing.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
She was calling out the letters on my reasonably shady hat.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
She said every letter in reasonably and that was not mimicking. Oh,
I love this, she said.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
I was cheering like what does that spell reasonably and
what do we want to be shady?
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (46:33):
I love that, but no, I didn't cheer that, but
I was cheering so big inside. I just told her yay,
not to overstimulate, especially since the restaurant is enough. Just
wanted to let y'all know how my favorite hat made
my life this weekend.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
This mean old wheezer.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Yes, since my grandma name was almost brought to tears
all because of my reasonably shady hat. Thank you so much,
Thank you, lady, so much much love Donna daffern akaa weezer.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Ps. I also have two embellished hats. Love them. I
love that. Okay, so wait minute, how old was the
child for three? Three? Three year old?
Speaker 3 (47:04):
A three year old in general, and a three year
old with severe autism? Yeah, make up the letters. That's awesome.
So hopefully your granddaughter continues. You didn't tell us her name,
but hopefully I love the news to be able to
identify her numbers and letters and colors on her own.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
And yes, yeah, that's beautiful. I think that's amazing. That
was a good story. I needed to hear that. Listen,
