Do y'all do make believe awards for this travel team? No? No, okay,
make believe. I don't know. I don't know what happens
on the road. No, no, no, no. So like and once
the kids get to high school, travel basketball is all about,
(02:21):
you know, first of all, like development and getting better,
but really trying to get like a college scholarship to
like all the college coaches come nice to the games
and stuff, or not all of them. But so it's
all about just getting exposure to college coaches so you
can get a college scholarship.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
So it really doesn't matter what high school you go
to if you play on one of these teams.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Not true, hell, because high school it's still yees. So
the coaches they look at the players during the summer,
but they also want to see what you're doing during
your high school season. You know, they kind of go
hand in hand. So and I like, you bring up
high school. I'm like, I just have we have frustration
with high school basketball. I'm like, ah, so, yes, high
(03:09):
school basketball is still important, like the high school season.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Okay, so you can't blow that off. No, okay, no,
all right, very good. I have a shady moment. I
was traveling and walking the streets.
Speaker 1 (03:27):

you in the streets and ask you questions.

Speaker 1 (03:56):

for a minute. I got to talk to you for
a minute. I just have to ask you a question.

What did he do?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
He had a dream yep about what his life? They
are like trying to pull something out of their ass,
like they are clueless. They can't even think of, you know, Beyonce.
A lot of them said Barack Obama. Nice, that would
be like like choice, they like be like, oh, but
(07:16):
it's hilarious like watching them just like be stuck.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Wait a minute, have you seen have you seen Michelle
talk about not going to the Trump inauguration and how
she just wanted to do something for herself and blah
blah blah, she's choosing her. I want her to be like,
because we love Michelle.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I want her to be like because I don't like him. Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's what I was like, Please say that, right, because
that's in my mind what it really is exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But she harped on more so like the fact that
people were assuming that something was wrong with their.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Marriage, right, which, like, no, I didn't get that at all.
I felt like, you didn't go because you didn't want
to be sitting next to that right exactly. No, it
wasn't his inauguration, yeah, right at the funeral, Yeah, an
inauguration Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is Jimmy Yeah, Jimmy HER's
funeral Jimmy Carter. Yeah, because you knew the seating arrangement.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And what's the next. I don't blame you exactly. I
promise you. I want to Michell to say that. Please
just say it, because that's better. It is it is
it's just them being like, oh, I want to do
something for myself or no, she harped on, like you know,
when you say no, no, no means not not no
means no. But like like people should be able to
say no, people should be able to respect your no
(08:23):
for whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Right, Yeah, but I wanted it to be because he
because they say he smells like bad burgers.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's what I wanted her to say. I mean, but
I would have a hard time in that position going
to an inauguration of someone who has totally disrespected me
and my husband right because he ridiculed. It's like the
disrespect is not even based on like policies. It's it's
like he's like ridical ridicules or like insults or like yes,
you know, no, I don't. I don't want to be
in that environment. I'm not participating in that nonsense, that foolishness.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
She should have the freedom to say that, you know, yeah,
first of all, she'd have to say nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But I just want her to be like because I
didn't want to right anyway, we got off track. Yeah,
so shady moment for me, Okay, y'all. I really it's
so crazy. My brain is soaked up, Like I had
a shady moment, yeah, and you forgot it and I
totally forgot it. I cannot think of it, and it's
(09:20):
so and so. Now the guy, I don't remember your name,
I can't remember if you emailed or if you messaged
me on Instagram, but you were like, Robin, how dare
you not have a shady moment, because like a couple
of weeks ago, I didn't have a shady moment? Yeah,
he was like, I mean, at least like fake one
or pretend one. Yes, real shady moments people do them.
I'm like, you know, our life doesn't have to be
(09:41):
shady every single week, Like something crazy doesn't have to happen.
Mine does. For whatever reason, you get out of the
house more than I do. I'm like, that's true. But
I do want to say there are tons. I actually
have tons of shady moments that I wish I could
share with you guys. But as a business owner, and
(10:02):
you know, the customer is always right, I want to
say tons or like I just I just have to
keep them to myself. Yeah, no, I get that because,
let me tell you, just being a business owner, you
meet all types of just people and encounter all types
of scenarios and it's quite entertaining and just interesting. But
(10:24):
I can't really can't divulge. But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So I saw this Instagram post and it said deleting
your long paragraph and texting back okay, just okay is
a different kind of self control.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh yes, that's me all day long. Yes, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I'm so good at it at the self control. I
don't because I used to get the law paragraphs and
then I'd be like delete. I just to be like, okay, right,
I don't have the long paragraphs no more. Yeah, I'm
just like okay, And I don't know, right, I don't
give a damn right, or I'm just I'm just self
control to the one hundredth power.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I yeah, I'm I think we've
all done that. We've all I don't know, if it's
a long paragraph, it just like you start trying to explain,
and you know what, like I don't even want to
do this back and forth. I don't even want to
lead to any more. Like discussion or confusion or whatever
like no, okay whatever, Yeah, it's just okay, yes, okay,
(11:17):
So that has self control for sure, some people will you,
I mean you you know of course people put on
Instagram like their little oh look at this scenario who's
right and who's wrong, and people just going back and
forth and back and forth and back and forth, and.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's like okay, yeah, so so remember how you were
about to block your brother. Yes, but you wrote a text.
Yeah that was like wild. Yeah, you could have just
said okay.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think I had tried that. I think I had
tried that, and he kept coming at me, and then
that's when I'm like, wow, that's so, that's when it's funny.
So that's like, so when you hit okay and then
the persons still coming at you, then that's when it's on.
You might lose your self control, ess self control in
(12:00):
the trash can. I said, okay, okay, so did you
successfully finish a couple more episodes of White Lotus. I'm
trying really yes, it is like, okay, have you watched
one and two? Yes? But so yes I watched one

Speaker 2 (14:20):
And then last, but not least, Okay, So you have
to Okay, I'm gonna read some things and then you
have to think about who we left out.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Okay, you ready? How I dress black men over fifty
depends on a tire. Okay. So if he has on sweatpants,
we call him coach. Okay, I saw this.
Speaker 2 (14:40):

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Okay, yes, pops. Okay, I feel like suitan in booted.
If you suited and booted, I might call you king,
like there's a king. I wouldn't give that to I
can't just get that to all revs.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
No, no, no, no, no, it's well, it depends on the suit.
If it's a big baggy suit, then I'd be like, Okay,
that's REV. But if it's like a sharp tailored suit, yes,
then what is that sharp tailing suit? Is King?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
King?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah? Okay? Or is that REV? That's not REV? That's
not right?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
No, if you have no, if you have on a
pimp suit, yes, that's REV. Right, yes, exactly. And for
y'all know what pimpsuit suits are. They're like a suit
that's probably orange, and your shoes are orange too, and
they're gators. Okay, and you come from Detroit. So that's yeah, right,
we cover them all. I'm trying to think like other ones. Yeah,
uh yeah, I think we covered them all.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, that's like absolutely hilarious. Okay, so we got some
stuff to read.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Okay, all right, so so we have some people who
wrote in all right, A lot of people responded to
this A couple episodes ago. I said, you know, I
often have the question of like why do people have
a baby on board sticker? Like what is the point? Yes? Yes, yes,
A lot of people responded, So just gonna read one.
This is from Logan HM. She says, Hi, Giselle and Robin,
I'm new to writing into podcasts, but not new to listening.
(17:18):
I binge watched The Real Housewis of Potomac and was
so sad to finish it as well as see Robin go.
So I had to find your pod. Okay, thank you
Logan for joining us. Not sure if you'll get this,
but I listened to your Bras and Toes pod today
and was bus laughing hearing your comments about baby on
(17:38):
board stickers. I'd like to say I've used those stickers
a little bit out of excitement, like Giselle said, and
wanting everyone to know, but also to inform first responders
in case of an accident, and I placed the sticker
on the side of the car where my child's car
seat is placed. Although my husband ridicules the stickers because
he is convinced hundreds of bad drivers put them on
(18:00):
their cars so people don't get mad when they've up. Anyway, right, anyway,
y'all are so entertaining. Thanks for your hard work, ladies,
Sending lots of love. So a lot of people wrote
in and said it's for verse responders that when people
get in an accident, you know, sometimes the baby, the
baby can be ejected, or you know, you just just
for them to know that there's a baby on board
(18:21):
that's smart. So I believe, yes, that is probably the
purpose of them, But I still don't think that's the
reason why most people put them on their car. I
feel like most people don't get them for that purpose,
do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I think they're excited, Yeah, because they have they have
they just got a baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think
it's right. They just went But and so they don't
even know the purpose of the stick, right, matchmaking, we
didn't talk about that.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
So all of our matches have been matched. So we
so we went through all the submissions for matchmaking. We
matched people who we thought were good matches and then
and they've been notified, and they've been notified send emails
to everyone. We also email people that we weren't able
to match, yes, just telling them, you know, thank you,
(19:03):
and hopefully, you know, maybe if we're doing in the future,
we'll find someone for them. So yeah, okay, So if
you submitted something to matchmaking, you haven't checked your emails,
please check your emails because it's date right, because the
love of your life might be waiting for you in
your email. But it's funny because we've already had some
people be like, yeah, no, I don't I'll pass y'all
(19:26):
ain't right, right, Why did you even go through the process? Right? Yeah,
we want to we want to marry somebody, right, but
we have people like, yes, they're excited. So yeah, so
we'll see how that like.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Okay, so we'll keep y'all posted on that, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I have Hi, Robin and Gazelle. This is from sam A.

where is Taiwan? I'm not asking ch Oh, you're not okay.
It's a country. It's an island in East Asia, specifically
located in the Western Pacific Ocean off the coast of
(22:45):
southeast southeastern China. Is situated between East China see and
South China's okay, okay, so Vietnam has nothing to do
with this. It's officially the Republic of China. What Okay,
it's part of China. Okay. So, so Taiwan listens to
recently shady Yeah, hey, hey, I'm here for this right Okay,
(23:06):
I love it. I love okay, and now we know
where it is. I don't even know if it's which
country runs Taiwan. Yes, the People's Republic of China. Okay, okay,
it's a property of China. Yes, and now and now
we know where it is. Yeah, yeah, I love that.
We'll have to go. Sorry Danny that we're so ignorant,
but we appreciate you for listening from Taiwan.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Side note on Love Hotel, there was a guy from
Rhode Island and I didn't know where that was.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So like, no clue. Well, I know it's up.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
There, yeah right, So I didn't. I don't know anything.
I don't know the exact the layout. Yeah, like outside
of Connecticut. So I know how to get all the
way up to Connecticut. Uh huh, I'm done. Okay, So
I don't know Maine is up there, Maine, Rhode Island,
Vermont is in that order.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I don't know. I just know they're up there. I
think may might be at the top. Maybe Maye is
not at the top because we drove it's not. Yeah,
I don't think so. Actually listening, I don't know anything above.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I think Vermont is that mass Sorry guys, Yeah, tot
know the order? Yeah, yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
But then how is Toronto? How is Ontario? Maybe it's
just the way New York is shaped. You drive through
New York to get to Ontario. To Canada, list Quebec
and then there's Ontario. Quebec is on the west coast?
Or father, can you read the next thing?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Because we're making ourselves look real dumb, we are, okay,
all right, Danny, He says.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I'm a huge fan of the podcast, always listening while driving.
My husband actually introduced me to the Real Housewives franchise,
and rhop quickly became my absolute favorite. You two are
also my number one housewives. Yay. Hey, I love the
fund shade, the real life stories and the laughs you bring.
Thank you for sharing your joy with us every week. Okay,
So I have a little question about my husband that
(24:51):
I love your opinion on. Okay, We've been married for
almost six years now, and he's been living in Taiwan
for over seven years. However, he's still not fluent in Mandarin.
I totally understand Mandarin can be a tough language to learn,
especially with all of the tones. I'll admit I always
speak English to him, help him do the translation. And
(25:12):
Taiwan is a pretty English friendly place, which makes things
even is easier for him. What's the beef? So we will?
And then he says, will Jaselle consider stopping by Taiwan
when traveling to Japan? Is it close? I wonder if
it's close? I think it is. It must be. Well, no, what,
you're over there? You're over there?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Right, okay, all right, yes, tell him I'm stopping by okay, yeah, yes.
So he always says he's too afraid of messing up
the tones to practice more. But honestly, sometimes feels like
I sometimes feel like he's just a little too spoiled
by me and the environment, and maybe that's why he
hasn't pushed himself harder to learn. So what do you think?
Is he being reasonable or is he being a little
(25:52):
bit shady? Can't wait to hear your thought. I think
what's well? Who wrote that? Danny? I think Danny's being shady.
I think Danny's being unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yes, yes, Well, because it's one thing, if I'm in
a country and they don't speak English, right, then I'm
forced to learn the language.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But if Danny is speaking English and everybody else around
is speaking English, why am I learning man the hardest
language to learn right outside of like Latin, right, Like, No, yeah,
that's the part.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
It's like, I know, this is a really hard language
to learn, and then you have the issue with the
different tones and all that. So I think danny're being
a little unrealistic to think, especially an adults, and it's
harder for an adult to learn a new language than
like a child. They say children can learn quick. New
language is a lot quicker. So I think once you're
an adult and you're like used to speaking English and
(26:47):
you have English all around you, I think it's probably
super hard for him to learn Mandarin. Now, if that's
something that's important to you, Danny, then maybe it's a
conversation and maybe you just do a little bit of
like what's those like language programs Rosetta Stone, Yeah, like
a little Rosetta Stone here and there, and maybe you
(27:09):
do a little practicing. But I don't think you can
expect him to just like, No, I don't think you
should expect him to take the initiative to learn the language. No, well,
if you're making it comfortable for him, like why do
I need to learn? Right?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
And but and I don't think it even speaks to
because I'm sure Danny's like, well, you don't care, you
won't learn it, don't. I don't think it's that right,
I think he the guy does care. Seven years is
a long time. You haven't picked up nothing, I know.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
And that's the thing. So I'm like, maybe make this
like a fun thing, yeah, games, like make it a
sex game.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yes, there, you tell me all the body parts you
want me to suck?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Right? Yeah? Yes? Yeah, So no, I don't think he's
being shady, not being shady. Danny might be a little unrealistic.
But I also think y'all can find a happy medium
where yeah, he tries to learn a little bit here
and there, but don't expect him to like be fluent. No.
And I can just imagine writing it, right, yeah, is
it the symbols? I believe?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's impressive right yeah. Okay, And
from what I understand, Mandarin is a language that if
you're really not using it all the time, you're going
to lose it. There's a guy that I know, actually
it's a friend's son who speaks Mandarin, and but he
constantly has to take Mandarin class, okay to make sure
(28:27):
he stays up on it. Yeah, yeah, because he's not
He works in New York. He's not speaking Mandarin.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Like where are you speaking him? Yes, he's going to
like Chinatown or something. Do they speak it there? I
would think so, Like, I mean if he's intentional, so
say you go to a Chinese restaurant work there, yeah,
or speaking Mandarin and he's that's his the opportunity to
just speak it, knock it out. Speaking of restaurants in
New York, have you been a Carbone? No? Geez sah?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
So I was in New York. Yeah with Portia. We
did watch What Happens Live, and I think.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I had been a carbone. I had not been in years.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I can't to the point where it's like I really
couldn't remember the experience. So we of course went out afterwards.
And it's so funny because we and port were talking
to Angie. They probably didn't show this, and he was like,
are y'all going out afterwards? Because me and Porscha Boss
had on our little booty dresses and everything, and we
(29:24):
were like, yeah, we're going out, and so he was
so we told him where and he was like, yeah,
the two of y'all gonna walk into Carbone and we
were like yeah, Angie, and.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Then I said, Annie, you want to come, and he
was like okay.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And then I was like, oh, no, never mind, because
then you're going to attract gay attention.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
We want straight men coming to the table. We do
not write any men that don't want us.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So he was like I get invited and rejected in
the same sentence.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I was like, yes, anyway, we had a beautiful time.
But like the food there is sick but you kid,
I don't feel like I don't remember, so the Rigatoni
is on another level.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
The meatballs, which I don't really eat meatballs, but I'm
like craving them a lot more. I got lobster froy diabolo,
which was fantastic. Course you got some some sort of steaks.
Situation great. My food, I mean my fork was all
on her plate. Erica came with us, she got some
chicken something. Everything was fanlt like I want to go back.
(30:28):
So Carbone and everybody that raps about Carbone that drake yes, yes, yes, lived.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Up to it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
And then there was like rappers ish coming in there
were there was a woman that.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Was like an actress.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I don't can't remember, I don't know who she is,
but I know she's an actress.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
She was like waving to me. Okay, I felt it
very important, okay, spot all right, yeah, carbon So hey, guys,
when y'all know that Shelle's in New York, hang out
at Carbone. Okay, Well, but it's hard to get a reservation. Yeah,
so yeah, I think we had to pull some tricks.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Okay, by the way, like a lot of those restaurants
that have that reputation. Yeah, the food isn't good, right,
it's all right, Carbonus good yes, okay. So Billy Barry says,
good morning, ladies. So, for whatever reason, I just realized
I never finished episode one.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Sixty eight, Robin, what episode is this?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
We have no idea what a number of episodes match
up to whatever?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Okay, he says.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I was driving to work this morning while you were
talking about B, and it reminded me, what's what's B?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Beyonce?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh okay, and it reminded me when she came through
for the Renaissance Okay, yeah, we were talking about Beyonce
and he reminded me when she came through for the
Renaissance World tour.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
My husband and I had to go. She asked us
to wear silver, so I showed up in my silver
sequence tank top, blank jeans. Just to interrupt. I believe
this is one eighty no way, okay, one okay? So
so twelve episodes ago, we have no idea what we
were talking about. No club, yes, but let's let's go.
Let's keep it going, okay.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
So she asked us to wear silver, so I showed
up with my silver sequince tank top, black jeans, high heeled,
black combat boots, and black for door.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yes, yes, we need a picture. Why don't you put
a picture? You better work that.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Yes, I went all out with a smoky eye, silver
glitter lashes, and liner.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Girl.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I thought I was it. Billy, I'm gonna tell you
you were it. Okay, So, yes, you were it. And
by the way, her tour started by now oh okay,
her tour started on April twenty eighth. Okay, so so beyond.
But Beyonce hasn't told us what to wear yet? Right exactly?
So when is she gonna let us know? Because I
(32:48):
got to yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Amazon together, right, because they can be come from Amazon,
because I'll wear it that one day.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Okay, mind you.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I was a forty three year old gay, white man
at the time and my husband we at the time.
At the time, my husband and now he's not at
the time, he's still gay and white. Who's black? He said,
he's with his husband who's black. FYI took one look
at me and said, you sure want to wear you?
(33:16):
Are you sure you want to wear those shoes? And
I was like, baby, I got this, mind you. The shoes, remember,
were high heel, black collar. I don't even know they
make that, right, high heel black collar.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Hell, listen, Billy, you were doing it. Okay, Well we
get there in the venue. It's miles from the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I barely made it. By the end of the night.
My lashes were hanging on for deal life. My makeup
had melted, and I looked.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Like a total hot mess. I believe it. But it
was worth every second.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
That's it, right, yes, Billy, Because I can envision this
was so descriptive.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I can envision all of that yes, it's traumatic for him.
That was like he knew he was doing the damn thing.
And then by the end of the night he was like,
he was like, get me out of here.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, so we have to pace ourselves with the cowboy
Carter tol Yes, like like we learned our lessons with
the Renaissance. So no heels, no heels, you can rock
your lash. It's just make sure you have extra glue
and if you gonna beat your face, make sure you
spray it down with like to fix it.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yes, okay, and then you're good and then you're good
to go. But I think we're all wearing hats, right,
cowboy hats. I hope. Well, first of all, I'm not going.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It's so funny because Ashley just said to me the
other she was like, I'm not going, and I was
like why.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
She said, because I've got to be I say, too
much of my money, the same.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Thing you said.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
It's not even but for you know, it's not even
about well, first of all, her tickets are too high.
It's not even about the money. It's just like, I
don't I've seen it. How many times seen it? You
have seen this? I see it. I won't it so
I made change my mind. Once I see all of
(35:01):
the stuff on Instagram, once I see the videos, the pictures,
I may change my mind. Shockingly, my hairstyle is Shirley,
who is like the number one Beyonce fan.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
She's like, oh, it doesn't want to go no way,
Tina said. Tina's looked at the rehearsal. She said, it's fantasy.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Of course Tina's going to say that. Why because that's
her daughter, her daughter, of course, you know blue showing up.
Oh yeah, that's her granddaughter of course. Yes, of course.
You think she's gonna give jay Z a spot just
to do something. Jay Z don't want that. YEA don't
want to do that. Yeah, he ain't got to tip
of that. I oh no, I mean, hey, you can
always pop out. That'd be fun. That'd be a cute
little pop out. Oh wait a minute. Did we talk
(35:43):
about the carry Hilson. Yeah, we talked about carry about
her like apologizing or something.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Well, she gave the full story of what happened with
see I don't even okay, so supposed to carry Hilson
did a disc song to Beyonce right years ago, twenty
years ago, thirty years ago, and it single handedly destroyed
her career, right, And.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I didn't know. I didn't know there was a this song,
but I knew that there was some sort of dis
lyric between her and being this is the thing. What's
the song?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Right?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Like, I don't I've never have we heard this song?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I don't know. I don't know. Is it subliminal?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Because the song that is huge, I think for Carrie
Hilson is.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
My name is Carrie and I'm so fairy. The other
one is turning you on? Something about turning you on?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I heard the first one recently and I was like listening, like,
this has got to be it. She's got to just
Beyonce somewhere and here and there was nothing, so all right,
well let's look it up.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Okay. So but I don't know as you looked that up,
she I think she was doing an interview with was
he Charlemagne?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It was Charlemage or Cam By the way, Cam's about
to make a whole lot of money, won Cam Newton
on what because the Shay Club is about to be
shut down?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
So okay, So it was her turning me on? Remix Okay,
released in two thousand and nine, included lyrics that were
widely interpreted as a disc towards Beyonce, particularly referencing referencing
her song Irreplaceable. H Hilson has since dated she was
forced to sing those lyrics and that they were not
her own words. Yes, so she goes. So, she describes
(37:22):
that day like she she was very young.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
She this beginning of her career. She got to the
studio and they and she, oh.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
She wrote the lyrics. Okay, here's the lyric writing. Okay, go.
The remix featured lyrics like your vision cloudy, if you
think you're you're the best, you can dance, she could sing,
but need to move it to the left now Irreplaceable
is to the left, to the left. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
So Carrie goes on to say like, I've never felt
like I could say this. But when she got there,
they had written the lyrics for her and this the
girl that wrote the lyrics was like, yeah, I did it,
and Polo, who's the who was the producer, was like,
this is what you're gonna do and she was like no.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
She just started crying.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
She was like she didn't want to do it, but
they were forcing her, not forcing her, but they were
like pushing it on her, pushing it on her, and
she was too young and too new to say no, right,
and I and she she was kind of crying talking
about it to this day, and I felt like.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
And didn't she used to write songs for Beyonce. She
was a writer, and I think some she has written
songs for Beyonce or for Destiny Show or whomever. But
why would that destroy her career?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Because like every because it was this whole her against
Beyonce thing, and I think mentally and emotionally it took
her out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, gosh, imagine if that was today,
in the day of social media, Like, yeah, oh my gosh.
I kind of I felt when when she was telling
the story, I was like, you know what, it'd be
great if they work together like today.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, So hopefully that'll happen. Oh that's unfortunate
because Cherry Hilson is actually like a very smart girl,
like yeah, and when you hear her talk, she it's
not just about just her being a singer or whatever, Like,
she has a lot to offer. So that's that's unfortunate. Yeah,
she did talk about dating athletes. Did you see that?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:21):
What did she say, because she dated Serge Ibaka at
one point. He's a basketball player who was fine, yes,
very fine. That thing looks good yes.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yes, big chocolate yes, and he has an accent and everything.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Geezy accents make everyone sound smart.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
No, they make him sound sexy, right, yes, not necessarily
smart all accents.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I mean men men with accents. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds
like please take your clothes off, right, Yeah, but it
makes it sound smart too, and sophisticated. And they can
be saying like, definitely sophisticated, the most like ratchet thing,
but they sounds sophisticated. Yeah. She did say that. They
say about dating athletes that they are I might be
able to relate. Yeah, I'm thinking you can't.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
That they are.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
They're not emotionally mature to love because or to know
how to love. Because when you know those those growing
up years, everything is given to them, everything is provided
for them.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
They don't have to give.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
They're just receiving and receiving and receiving. So in order
for them later in life to switch and learn the
skill set to love, it's extremely difficult and it really
doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
And it's and it's hard. Like once the sport is over.
It's then they're dealing with like the mental just challenge
of of like okay, I'm no longer playing, like who
the hell am I really? So it's so funny. The
other day I was helping Corey. So Corey has back pain,
so he's been doing like e T and all types
(41:01):
of stuff. And I'm so we were at night, we
were here at night, and I'm wrapping him in ice,
putting ice on his back and wrapping it around, and
I'm thinking to myself and I'm like, this said it
all out, like this is I'm like, you're being catered to.
I'm catering to you. And this is how I'm since
the beginning of it. This is how it starts. Totally,
but it is. It's crazy. And it's not even like
(41:22):
it's like it's not for a bad reason. It's like, Okay,
he's injured. We got to nurse him back to house
because in a couple of days he's traveling and going
to play basketball and blah blah blah. Right, and so
I'm like, Okay, you gotta you gotta ice, we gotta
put your heat on after you. You gotta make sure
you're eating. You need your protein you need to like.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
It's like and it's just like and it's constant and
he's aware of it, right and so and he's.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
And he's leaning into it instead of.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Like and I'm no shade to Corey, but that's just
the nature of the beast because he has to right
and everything is focused towards him being the best player
he can be right, which is fine, But then what
does that mean years later for as a relation to
a relationship.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah, yeah, And it's definitely a thing. It's definitely a thing.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
And I think as parents, it's it's our kind of
duty to try to like prevent that from happening as
much as possible, you know. So when they're like, oh,
I'm hungry, I want a sandwich, I'm like, okay, go
make yourself a sandwich. Yeah, get it yourself. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
When she broke it down, because I that had never
crossed my mind because I've dealt with plenty of athletes
to you, But once she broke it down, I was like,
that's the missing piece that I didn't know when I
was in that relationship, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Yeah, I was like, oh that's it. Yeah, yeah, Oh,
they're not really case it's a huge thing. It could.
Like I said, it starts when they're young, it's and
it just keeps going, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger,
especially if they play on a professional level, because you've
got you know, every person in the world works for
that organization to make sure you have what you need.
(43:01):
And then you hire a management company or you know,
your agent, and they have people who are making sure
you have what you need. You have, they're paying your bills,
they're you know, they're making sure you're eating all of it.
It's I didn't know Carrie Hilson was dating that guy. Yeah,
they dated for a little bit. They were like it was,
(43:22):
it was known. It was okay, they were together together.
They were together. I just want to date them for
the night, I know. Yeah, Yeah, moving.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
On, Okay, we got we have one more. This is
from Mancha Mansa mesa Masa's spelled different. It's spelled differently
Mesa mesa, masa masa.
Speaker 1 (43:44):

motherhood kids zero to five. I'm currently postpartum with a
nine month old and have five and have a five
year old son, and life can be challenging and draining.

Wait a minute? Okay, so wait, Canada's north I know
that of the United States. I knew that. Yes, so,
but it's closer to east coast Toronto. Yes, yeah, that's
why I say it's southeast. Okay, so like Toronto is
actually close to the United States because it's the southern
portion of Canada. I was just seen. If you knew
(45:48):
and the exactly the eastern portion of Canada, you can
actually we actually because we were in Toronto. One played
for the Raptors and was traded to Detroit Pistons and
we drove like it was I can't remember how long
the drive was. It wasn't that long. We drove from
Toronto to Detroit and it wasn't like super long. Okay, Yeah,
just packed up the car and said we're out of here.
(46:09):
Well not kind of, not really okay, but okay, raising kids.
Oh you're raising kids, that's the question. Yes, it's hard
as shit, yes, yes, so masa mesa. If you are struggling,
this is normal. Yeah, okay, we all are all did yes,
but it's temporary. You're going to get through it. I
had a nanny come when they were like up until
(46:32):
they were about eight fifteen months or so. I had
a nanny come like three days a week. Eventually, when
they got to be about like fifteen months, I put
them in a school like a daycare. Yeah, and that
was the best thing ever because it gave you time. Yeah.
It's just when the nanny and the people are in
your house and the kids in your house, they still
want you, like the kids. If you're in the house,
(46:54):
it doesn't matter who's there to help, the kids still
want you. Yeah. So I think once you kids get
of an age where you're comfortable sending them to like
a school or a daycare, like do it, get to
it out of the house.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
And plus they need a little interaction social ye. Social
they socially they need interaction, yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
And then the phrase like it takes a village. It's
not just about you know, Okay, I have like my my,
my mother, or you know, ones like brother We had,
like you know, a bunch of like brothers and uncles
and cousins and stuff that would help my my son's stuff.
But it's also like putting them in activities, like that's
part of the village too. So if you don't have
(47:33):
family that's there that can help you, like put them
in activities where whether I don't know, if you have
a girl or boy, whether it's dance, or it's baseball
or soccer like those some of those people become your village,
are a part of the village that it takes to
raise a child totally.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
And even with the schools I remember, you know, my
kids went to a very small elementary school and those
moms there, they were part of my village. They ain't
know it, but it's part of my They was like
all was looking out for my kids once once we
started filming the show, they would always someone would just
take my kids home, pick them up. Like I knew
I was running late. They would check in with me
(48:11):
like they there was there's like three women, three moms.
I'm not going to shout them out, but they completely
saved my life with regards to my kids they were,
I would like call them in a clutch and they
would be there for me. But when mine were babies,
because I had three, I had a full time nanny.
She would come at six am and she would leave
at six pm.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
And that's a long day. That's a long day.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Yeah, she was getting paid well, so, but I needed
an extra set of hands. There was three of them,
three and then, like Robins said, once Grace was able
to like go to like a little daycare or whatever
I sent her, she ain't like it, but she's all right, right,
she made it.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
She made it through.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
And then once all three of them could go, Yeah,
that's that was like the ticket because I needed a break. Yes,
like a break is you got to you gotta take
a break to rejuvenate yourself, right, Because once my kids
would see me, it was like NonStop every minute, like
there was no minute that I had free hold on
(49:14):
until they went to bed. No, yes, so but I
enjoyed it though, I mean it was it was exhausting
to no end.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
But like you know, once it's over, it's over. Yeah, exactly,
it's over. And so for you, I know you're struggling
or anyone out out here, that's like really in the woods,
in the thick of it, it's gonna it feels like
it's not going to go fast, but it's going to
go by so fast. And you're gonna look back at
those times and be like, Whooo, how did I do it?
Don't know, but I did it. But you did it.
(49:41):
You're gonna do it, so don't. But don't be afraid
to lean on people, even whether it's your neighbors or
like I said, activities, put them in activities, put them
in school. Yeah. Just and don't be afraid to be
like this shit is hard, like oh, yeah, you know,
it's fine. It's totally hard.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
And it would annoy when like moms with like five
kids that act like they were doing that shit with
their ass closed. Right.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
No, no, you're just trying to make everybody else look bad.
Like no. So yeah, and do it your way. I
always say, like, you know, do what's comfortable for you.
Do it your way.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
Nobody can tell you that your way is not the
right way, but I might judge you.

or not y'all love it hate it. I want to

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I'm enjoying watching it good. Yeah all right, Well I
haven't caught it yet, yeah, but I will get up.
I've been I've been doing a little traveling.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So yeah, all over the place. By the way, the
boys basketball, Yeah, yeah, are they winning losing?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
What's going on? Travel basketball? They're they're doing well, they're
doing well well.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Okay, So Kyne Anthony Anthony Carmelo son, Carmelo's son, is
he going Is this time for him to go to college?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And he's going to Syracuse Yes, So he's done playing
this aa yeah travel stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Exactly, yep. So he's no longer on the travel circuits.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Okay, I saw this like he got an award, he
got a crown or something Kayne did or yeah, mellow
no Kyne the Sun and he gave it to La La.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I don't know, okay, yeah, I don't know. I saw
that on this social media.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh okay, you don't have played in like a game
and they gave them a one something. Okay, I don't know.
Do y'all do make believe awards for this travel team? No? No, okay,
make believe. I don't know. I don't know what happens
on the road. No, no, no, no. So like and once
the kids get to high school, travel basketball is all about,
(02:21):
you know, first of all, like development and getting better,
but really trying to get like a college scholarship to
like all the college coaches come nice to the games
and stuff, or not all of them. But so it's
all about just getting exposure to college coaches so you
can get a college scholarship.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
So it really doesn't matter what high school you go
to if you play on one of these teams.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Not true, hell, because high school it's still yees. So
the coaches they look at the players during the summer,
but they also want to see what you're doing during
your high school season. You know, they kind of go
hand in hand. So and I like, you bring up
high school. I'm like, I just have we have frustration
with high school basketball. I'm like, ah, so, yes, high
(03:09):
school basketball is still important, like the high school season.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Okay, so you can't blow that off. No, okay, no,
all right, very good. I have a shady moment. I
was traveling and walking the streets.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So you've seen on Instagram people that roll up on
you in the streets and ask you questions.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yes, okay, has that happened to that happened to me?
Did it happen? No? Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So in New York okay, mine in my business going
walking in the Chelsea Market area and a guy rolls
up on me. So when they roll up on your
When this guy rolled up on me, he was walking
up on me fast, which is a no, no, you
can't do that right. That's like scary. It's like it's scary.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Oh what's happening.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's like it's inappropriate. But that's I think part of it.
They gotta get you, so they got to roll upon you.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And he was like, hey, got to talk to you
for a minute. I got to talk to you for
a minute. I just have to ask you a question.
I have to ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I was like no, no, no, kept walking okay. Then
when I had to come back, he called me again.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Okay. He was like, can I ask you a question?
I gotta ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And I was like okay, fine, and he said, okay, fine,
how many pounds.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Literally that's the question? How many pounds was a polar bear?

And I was like a thousand pounds? And I kept walking. Okay.
That was day one. Okay, day two he's out there again.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Oh my god, because I think he's stopping. I think
it's the thing, like you stop people, you ask him
stupid ask question. I cannot remember what the second question was,
but it was something along those lines.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
You know, there's a rattlesnak rattlesnake rattle, like.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It was just stupid and I was like this, can't
you gotta get a better day job?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right? What are we doing with this information? They're trying
to go viral? Oh? So? I mean so you've seen
it on Instagram where people like you're trying to build So,
I mean, I wonder if the guy has a following. Okay,

Speaker 1 (06:52):
He had a dream yep about what his life? They
are like trying to pull something out of their ass,
like they are clueless. They can't even think of, you know, Beyonce.
A lot of them said Barack Obama. Nice, that would
be like like choice, they like be like, oh, but
(07:16):
it's hilarious like watching them just like be stuck.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Wait a minute, have you seen have you seen Michelle
talk about not going to the Trump inauguration and how
she just wanted to do something for herself and blah
blah blah, she's choosing her. I want her to be like,
because we love Michelle.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I want her to be like because I don't like him. Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's what I was like, Please say that, right, because
that's in my mind what it really is exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But she harped on more so like the fact that
people were assuming that something was wrong with their.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Marriage, right, which, like, no, I didn't get that at all.
I felt like, you didn't go because you didn't want
to be sitting next to that right exactly. No, it
wasn't his inauguration, yeah, right at the funeral, Yeah, an
inauguration Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is Jimmy Yeah, Jimmy HER's
funeral Jimmy Carter. Yeah, because you knew the seating arrangement.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And what's the next. I don't blame you exactly. I
promise you. I want to Michell to say that. Please
just say it, because that's better. It is it is
it's just them being like, oh, I want to do
something for myself or no, she harped on, like you know,
when you say no, no, no means not not no
means no. But like like people should be able to
say no, people should be able to respect your no
(08:23):
for whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Right, Yeah, but I wanted it to be because he
because they say he smells like bad burgers.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's what I wanted her to say. I mean, but
I would have a hard time in that position going
to an inauguration of someone who has totally disrespected me
and my husband right because he ridiculed. It's like the
disrespect is not even based on like policies. It's it's
like he's like ridical ridicules or like insults or like yes,
you know, no, I don't. I don't want to be
in that environment. I'm not participating in that nonsense, that foolishness.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
She should have the freedom to say that, you know, yeah,
first of all, she'd have to say nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But I just want her to be like because I
didn't want to right anyway, we got off track. Yeah,
so shady moment for me, Okay, y'all. I really it's
so crazy. My brain is soaked up, Like I had
a shady moment, yeah, and you forgot it and I
totally forgot it. I cannot think of it, and it's
(09:20):
so and so. Now the guy, I don't remember your name,
I can't remember if you emailed or if you messaged
me on Instagram, but you were like, Robin, how dare
you not have a shady moment, because like a couple
of weeks ago, I didn't have a shady moment? Yeah,
he was like, I mean, at least like fake one
or pretend one. Yes, real shady moments people do them.
I'm like, you know, our life doesn't have to be
(09:41):
shady every single week, Like something crazy doesn't have to happen.
Mine does. For whatever reason, you get out of the
house more than I do. I'm like, that's true. But
I do want to say there are tons. I actually
have tons of shady moments that I wish I could
share with you guys. But as a business owner, and
(10:02):
you know, the customer is always right, I want to
say tons or like I just I just have to
keep them to myself. Yeah, no, I get that because,
let me tell you, just being a business owner, you
meet all types of just people and encounter all types
of scenarios and it's quite entertaining and just interesting. But
(10:24):
I can't really can't divulge. But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So I saw this Instagram post and it said deleting
your long paragraph and texting back okay, just okay is
a different kind of self control.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh yes, that's me all day long. Yes, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I'm so good at it at the self control. I
don't because I used to get the law paragraphs and
then I'd be like delete. I just to be like, okay, right,
I don't have the long paragraphs no more. Yeah, I'm
just like okay, And I don't know, right, I don't
give a damn right, or I'm just I'm just self
control to the one hundredth power.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I yeah, I'm I think we've
all done that. We've all I don't know, if it's
a long paragraph, it just like you start trying to explain,
and you know what, like I don't even want to
do this back and forth. I don't even want to
lead to any more. Like discussion or confusion or whatever
like no, okay whatever, Yeah, it's just okay, yes, okay,
(11:17):
So that has self control for sure, some people will you,
I mean you you know of course people put on
Instagram like their little oh look at this scenario who's
right and who's wrong, and people just going back and
forth and back and forth and back and forth, and.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's like okay, yeah, so so remember how you were
about to block your brother. Yes, but you wrote a text.
Yeah that was like wild. Yeah, you could have just
said okay.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think I had tried that. I think I had
tried that, and he kept coming at me, and then
that's when I'm like, wow, that's so, that's when it's funny.
So that's like, so when you hit okay and then
the persons still coming at you, then that's when it's on.
You might lose your self control, ess self control in
(12:00):
the trash can. I said, okay, okay, so did you
successfully finish a couple more episodes of White Lotus. I'm
trying really yes, it is like, okay, have you watched

this A couple episodes ago. I said, you know, I
often have the question of like why do people have
a baby on board sticker? Like what is the point? Yes? Yes, yes,
A lot of people responded, So just gonna read one.
This is from Logan HM. She says, Hi, Giselle and Robin,
I'm new to writing into podcasts, but not new to listening.
(17:18):
I binge watched The Real Housewis of Potomac and was
so sad to finish it as well as see Robin go.
So I had to find your pod. Okay, thank you
Logan for joining us. Not sure if you'll get this,
but I listened to your Bras and Toes pod today
and was bus laughing hearing your comments about baby on
(17:38):
board stickers. I'd like to say I've used those stickers
a little bit out of excitement, like Giselle said, and
wanting everyone to know, but also to inform first responders
in case of an accident, and I placed the sticker
on the side of the car where my child's car
seat is placed. Although my husband ridicules the stickers because
he is convinced hundreds of bad drivers put them on
(18:00):
their cars so people don't get mad when they've up. Anyway, right, anyway,
y'all are so entertaining. Thanks for your hard work, ladies,
Sending lots of love. So a lot of people wrote
in and said it's for verse responders that when people
get in an accident, you know, sometimes the baby, the
baby can be ejected, or you know, you just just
for them to know that there's a baby on board
(18:21):
that's smart. So I believe, yes, that is probably the
purpose of them, But I still don't think that's the
reason why most people put them on their car. I
feel like most people don't get them for that purpose,
do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I think they're excited, Yeah, because they have they have
they just got a baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think
it's right. They just went But and so they don't
even know the purpose of the stick, right, matchmaking, we
didn't talk about that.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
So all of our matches have been matched. So we
so we went through all the submissions for matchmaking. We
matched people who we thought were good matches and then
and they've been notified, and they've been notified send emails
to everyone. We also email people that we weren't able
to match, yes, just telling them, you know, thank you,
(19:03):
and hopefully, you know, maybe if we're doing in the future,
we'll find someone for them. So yeah, okay, So if
you submitted something to matchmaking, you haven't checked your emails,
please check your emails because it's date right, because the
love of your life might be waiting for you in
your email. But it's funny because we've already had some
people be like, yeah, no, I don't I'll pass y'all
(19:26):
ain't right, right, Why did you even go through the process? Right? Yeah,
we want to we want to marry somebody, right, but
we have people like, yes, they're excited. So yeah, so
we'll see how that like.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Okay, so we'll keep y'all posted on that, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:42):

Speaker 1 (22:03):
How Larry is like how did it get there? That

from Danny. Danny says, hello, just all Robin, greetings from Taiwan, Taiwan. Yes,
like Vietnam. Is that women? And where's Taiwan? It's in Asia,
(22:24):
not women? Women? Okay, let's ask chat GPT Wait, so okay,
where is Taiwan? I'm not asking ch Oh, you're not okay.
It's a country. It's an island in East Asia, specifically
located in the Western Pacific Ocean off the coast of
(22:45):
southeast southeastern China. Is situated between East China see and
South China's okay, okay, so Vietnam has nothing to do
with this. It's officially the Republic of China. What Okay,
it's part of China. Okay. So, so Taiwan listens to
recently shady Yeah, hey, hey, I'm here for this right Okay,
(23:06):
I love it. I love okay, and now we know
where it is. I don't even know if it's which
country runs Taiwan. Yes, the People's Republic of China. Okay, okay,
it's a property of China. Yes, and now and now
we know where it is. Yeah, yeah, I love that.
We'll have to go. Sorry Danny that we're so ignorant,
but we appreciate you for listening from Taiwan.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Side note on Love Hotel, there was a guy from
Rhode Island and I didn't know where that was.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So like, no clue. Well, I know it's up.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
There, yeah right, So I didn't. I don't know anything.
I don't know the exact the layout. Yeah, like outside
of Connecticut. So I know how to get all the
way up to Connecticut. Uh huh, I'm done. Okay, So
I don't know Maine is up there, Maine, Rhode Island,
Vermont is in that order.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I don't know. I just know they're up there. I
think may might be at the top. Maybe Maye is
not at the top because we drove it's not. Yeah,
I don't think so. Actually listening, I don't know anything above.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I think Vermont is that mass Sorry guys, Yeah, tot
know the order? Yeah, yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
But then how is Toronto? How is Ontario? Maybe it's
just the way New York is shaped. You drive through
New York to get to Ontario. To Canada, list Quebec
and then there's Ontario. Quebec is on the west coast?
Or father, can you read the next thing?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Because we're making ourselves look real dumb, we are, okay,
all right, Danny, He says.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I'm a huge fan of the podcast, always listening while driving.
My husband actually introduced me to the Real Housewives franchise,
and rhop quickly became my absolute favorite. You two are
also my number one housewives. Yay. Hey, I love the
fund shade, the real life stories and the laughs you bring.
Thank you for sharing your joy with us every week. Okay,
So I have a little question about my husband that
(24:51):
I love your opinion on. Okay, We've been married for
almost six years now, and he's been living in Taiwan
for over seven years. However, he's still not fluent in Mandarin.
I totally understand Mandarin can be a tough language to learn,
especially with all of the tones. I'll admit I always
speak English to him, help him do the translation. And
(25:12):
Taiwan is a pretty English friendly place, which makes things
even is easier for him. What's the beef? So we will?
And then he says, will Jaselle consider stopping by Taiwan
when traveling to Japan? Is it close? I wonder if
it's close? I think it is. It must be. Well, no, what,
you're over there? You're over there?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Right, okay, all right, yes, tell him I'm stopping by okay, yeah, yes.
So he always says he's too afraid of messing up
the tones to practice more. But honestly, sometimes feels like
I sometimes feel like he's just a little too spoiled
by me and the environment, and maybe that's why he
hasn't pushed himself harder to learn. So what do you think?
Is he being reasonable or is he being a little
(25:52):
bit shady? Can't wait to hear your thought. I think
what's well? Who wrote that? Danny? I think Danny's being shady.
I think Danny's being unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yes, yes, Well, because it's one thing, if I'm in
a country and they don't speak English, right, then I'm
forced to learn the language.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But if Danny is speaking English and everybody else around
is speaking English, why am I learning man the hardest
language to learn right outside of like Latin, right, Like, No, yeah,
that's the part.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
It's like, I know, this is a really hard language
to learn, and then you have the issue with the
different tones and all that. So I think danny're being
a little unrealistic to think, especially an adults, and it's
harder for an adult to learn a new language than
like a child. They say children can learn quick. New
language is a lot quicker. So I think once you're
an adult and you're like used to speaking English and
(26:47):
you have English all around you, I think it's probably
super hard for him to learn Mandarin. Now, if that's
something that's important to you, Danny, then maybe it's a
conversation and maybe you just do a little bit of
like what's those like language programs Rosetta Stone, Yeah, like
a little Rosetta Stone here and there, and maybe you
(27:09):
do a little practicing. But I don't think you can
expect him to just like, No, I don't think you
should expect him to take the initiative to learn the language. No, well,
if you're making it comfortable for him, like why do
I need to learn? Right?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
And but and I don't think it even speaks to
because I'm sure Danny's like, well, you don't care, you
won't learn it, don't. I don't think it's that right,
I think he the guy does care. Seven years is
a long time. You haven't picked up nothing, I know.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
And that's the thing. So I'm like, maybe make this
like a fun thing, yeah, games, like make it a
sex game.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yes, there, you tell me all the body parts you
want me to suck?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Right? Yeah? Yes? Yeah, So no, I don't think he's
being shady, not being shady. Danny might be a little unrealistic.
But I also think y'all can find a happy medium
where yeah, he tries to learn a little bit here
and there, but don't expect him to like be fluent. No.
And I can just imagine writing it, right, yeah, is
it the symbols? I believe?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's impressive right yeah. Okay, And
from what I understand, Mandarin is a language that if
you're really not using it all the time, you're going
to lose it. There's a guy that I know, actually
it's a friend's son who speaks Mandarin, and but he
constantly has to take Mandarin class, okay to make sure
(28:27):
he stays up on it. Yeah, yeah, because he's not
He works in New York. He's not speaking Mandarin.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Like where are you speaking him? Yes, he's going to
like Chinatown or something. Do they speak it there? I
would think so, Like, I mean if he's intentional, so
say you go to a Chinese restaurant work there, yeah,
or speaking Mandarin and he's that's his the opportunity to
just speak it, knock it out. Speaking of restaurants in
New York, have you been a Carbone? No? Geez sah?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
So I was in New York. Yeah with Portia. We
did watch What Happens Live, and I think.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I had been a carbone. I had not been in years.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I can't to the point where it's like I really
couldn't remember the experience. So we of course went out afterwards.
And it's so funny because we and port were talking
to Angie. They probably didn't show this, and he was like,
are y'all going out afterwards? Because me and Porscha Boss
had on our little booty dresses and everything, and we
(29:24):
were like, yeah, we're going out, and so he was
so we told him where and he was like, yeah,
the two of y'all gonna walk into Carbone and we
were like yeah, Angie, and.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Then I said, Annie, you want to come, and he
was like okay.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And then I was like, oh, no, never mind, because
then you're going to attract gay attention.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
We want straight men coming to the table. We do
not write any men that don't want us.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So he was like I get invited and rejected in
the same sentence.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I was like, yes, anyway, we had a beautiful time.
But like the food there is sick but you kid,
I don't feel like I don't remember, so the Rigatoni
is on another level.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
The meatballs, which I don't really eat meatballs, but I'm
like craving them a lot more. I got lobster froy diabolo,
which was fantastic. Course you got some some sort of steaks.
Situation great. My food, I mean my fork was all
on her plate. Erica came with us, she got some
chicken something. Everything was fanlt like I want to go back.
(30:28):
So Carbone and everybody that raps about Carbone that drake yes, yes, yes, lived.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Up to it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
And then there was like rappers ish coming in there
were there was a woman that.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Was like an actress.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I don't can't remember, I don't know who she is,
but I know she's an actress.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
She was like waving to me. Okay, I felt it
very important, okay, spot all right, yeah, carbon So hey, guys,
when y'all know that Shelle's in New York, hang out
at Carbone. Okay, Well, but it's hard to get a reservation. Yeah,
so yeah, I think we had to pull some tricks.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Okay, by the way, like a lot of those restaurants
that have that reputation. Yeah, the food isn't good, right,
it's all right, Carbonus good yes, okay. So Billy Barry says,
good morning, ladies. So, for whatever reason, I just realized
I never finished episode one.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Sixty eight, Robin, what episode is this?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
We have no idea what a number of episodes match
up to whatever?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Okay, he says.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I was driving to work this morning while you were
talking about B, and it reminded me, what's what's B?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Beyonce?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh okay, and it reminded me when she came through
for the Renaissance Okay, yeah, we were talking about Beyonce
and he reminded me when she came through for the
Renaissance World tour.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
My husband and I had to go. She asked us
to wear silver, so I showed up in my silver
sequence tank top, blank jeans. Just to interrupt. I believe
this is one eighty no way, okay, one okay? So
so twelve episodes ago, we have no idea what we
were talking about. No club, yes, but let's let's go.
Let's keep it going, okay.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
So she asked us to wear silver, so I showed
up with my silver sequince tank top, black jeans, high heeled,
black combat boots, and black for door.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yes, yes, we need a picture. Why don't you put
a picture? You better work that.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Yes, I went all out with a smoky eye, silver
glitter lashes, and liner.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Girl.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I thought I was it. Billy, I'm gonna tell you
you were it. Okay, So, yes, you were it. And
by the way, her tour started by now oh okay,
her tour started on April twenty eighth. Okay, so so beyond.
But Beyonce hasn't told us what to wear yet? Right exactly?
So when is she gonna let us know? Because I
(32:48):
got to yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Amazon together, right, because they can be come from Amazon,
because I'll wear it that one day.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Okay, mind you.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I was a forty three year old gay, white man
at the time and my husband we at the time.
At the time, my husband and now he's not at
the time, he's still gay and white. Who's black? He said,
he's with his husband who's black. FYI took one look
at me and said, you sure want to wear you?
(33:16):
Are you sure you want to wear those shoes? And
I was like, baby, I got this, mind you. The shoes, remember,
were high heel, black collar. I don't even know they
make that, right, high heel black collar.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Hell, listen, Billy, you were doing it. Okay, Well we
get there in the venue. It's miles from the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I barely made it. By the end of the night.
My lashes were hanging on for deal life. My makeup
had melted, and I looked.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Like a total hot mess. I believe it. But it
was worth every second.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
That's it, right, yes, Billy, Because I can envision this
was so descriptive.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I can envision all of that yes, it's traumatic for him.
That was like he knew he was doing the damn thing.
And then by the end of the night he was like,
he was like, get me out of here.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, so we have to pace ourselves with the cowboy
Carter tol Yes, like like we learned our lessons with
the Renaissance. So no heels, no heels, you can rock
your lash. It's just make sure you have extra glue
and if you gonna beat your face, make sure you
spray it down with like to fix it.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yes, okay, and then you're good and then you're good
to go. But I think we're all wearing hats, right,
cowboy hats. I hope. Well, first of all, I'm not going.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It's so funny because Ashley just said to me the
other she was like, I'm not going, and I was
like why.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
She said, because I've got to be I say, too
much of my money, the same.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Thing you said.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
It's not even but for you know, it's not even
about well, first of all, her tickets are too high.
It's not even about the money. It's just like, I
don't I've seen it. How many times seen it? You
have seen this? I see it. I won't it so
I made change my mind. Once I see all of
(35:01):
the stuff on Instagram, once I see the videos, the pictures,
I may change my mind. Shockingly, my hairstyle is Shirley,
who is like the number one Beyonce fan.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
She's like, oh, it doesn't want to go no way,
Tina said. Tina's looked at the rehearsal. She said, it's fantasy.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Of course Tina's going to say that. Why because that's
her daughter, her daughter, of course, you know blue showing up.
Oh yeah, that's her granddaughter of course. Yes, of course.
You think she's gonna give jay Z a spot just
to do something. Jay Z don't want that. YEA don't
want to do that. Yeah, he ain't got to tip
of that. I oh no, I mean, hey, you can
always pop out. That'd be fun. That'd be a cute
little pop out. Oh wait a minute. Did we talk
(35:43):
about the carry Hilson. Yeah, we talked about carry about
her like apologizing or something.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Well, she gave the full story of what happened with
see I don't even okay, so supposed to carry Hilson
did a disc song to Beyonce right years ago, twenty
years ago, thirty years ago, and it single handedly destroyed
her career, right, And.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I didn't know. I didn't know there was a this song,
but I knew that there was some sort of dis
lyric between her and being this is the thing. What's
the song?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Right?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Like, I don't I've never have we heard this song?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I don't know. I don't know. Is it subliminal?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Because the song that is huge, I think for Carrie
Hilson is.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
My name is Carrie and I'm so fairy. The other
one is turning you on? Something about turning you on?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I heard the first one recently and I was like listening, like,
this has got to be it. She's got to just
Beyonce somewhere and here and there was nothing, so all right,
well let's look it up.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Okay. So but I don't know as you looked that up,
she I think she was doing an interview with was
he Charlemagne?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It was Charlemage or Cam By the way, Cam's about
to make a whole lot of money, won Cam Newton
on what because the Shay Club is about to be
shut down?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
So okay, So it was her turning me on? Remix Okay,
released in two thousand and nine, included lyrics that were
widely interpreted as a disc towards Beyonce, particularly referencing referencing
her song Irreplaceable. H Hilson has since dated she was
forced to sing those lyrics and that they were not
her own words. Yes, so she goes. So, she describes
(37:22):
that day like she she was very young.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
She this beginning of her career. She got to the
studio and they and she, oh.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
She wrote the lyrics. Okay, here's the lyric writing. Okay, go.
The remix featured lyrics like your vision cloudy, if you
think you're you're the best, you can dance, she could sing,
but need to move it to the left now Irreplaceable
is to the left, to the left. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
So Carrie goes on to say like, I've never felt
like I could say this. But when she got there,
they had written the lyrics for her and this the
girl that wrote the lyrics was like, yeah, I did it,
and Polo, who's the who was the producer, was like,
this is what you're gonna do and she was like no.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
She just started crying.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
She was like she didn't want to do it, but
they were forcing her, not forcing her, but they were
like pushing it on her, pushing it on her, and
she was too young and too new to say no, right,
and I and she she was kind of crying talking
about it to this day, and I felt like.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
And didn't she used to write songs for Beyonce. She
was a writer, and I think some she has written
songs for Beyonce or for Destiny Show or whomever. But
why would that destroy her career?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Because like every because it was this whole her against
Beyonce thing, and I think mentally and emotionally it took
her out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, gosh, imagine if that was today,
in the day of social media, Like, yeah, oh my gosh.
I kind of I felt when when she was telling
the story, I was like, you know what, it'd be
great if they work together like today.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, So hopefully that'll happen. Oh that's unfortunate
because Cherry Hilson is actually like a very smart girl,
like yeah, and when you hear her talk, she it's
not just about just her being a singer or whatever, Like,
she has a lot to offer. So that's that's unfortunate. Yeah,
she did talk about dating athletes. Did you see that?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:21):
What did she say, because she dated Serge Ibaka at
one point. He's a basketball player who was fine, yes,
very fine. That thing looks good yes.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yes, big chocolate yes, and he has an accent and everything.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Geezy accents make everyone sound smart.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
No, they make him sound sexy, right, yes, not necessarily
smart all accents.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I mean men men with accents. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds
like please take your clothes off, right, Yeah, but it
makes it sound smart too, and sophisticated. And they can
be saying like, definitely sophisticated, the most like ratchet thing,
but they sounds sophisticated. Yeah. She did say that. They
say about dating athletes that they are I might be
able to relate. Yeah, I'm thinking you can't.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
That they are.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
They're not emotionally mature to love because or to know
how to love. Because when you know those those growing
up years, everything is given to them, everything is provided
for them.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
They don't have to give.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
They're just receiving and receiving and receiving. So in order
for them later in life to switch and learn the
skill set to love, it's extremely difficult and it really
doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
And it's and it's hard. Like once the sport is over.
It's then they're dealing with like the mental just challenge
of of like okay, I'm no longer playing, like who
the hell am I really? So it's so funny. The
other day I was helping Corey. So Corey has back pain,
so he's been doing like e T and all types
(41:01):
of stuff. And I'm so we were at night, we
were here at night, and I'm wrapping him in ice,
putting ice on his back and wrapping it around, and
I'm thinking to myself and I'm like, this said it
all out, like this is I'm like, you're being catered to.
I'm catering to you. And this is how I'm since
the beginning of it. This is how it starts. Totally,
but it is. It's crazy. And it's not even like
(41:22):
it's like it's not for a bad reason. It's like, Okay,
he's injured. We got to nurse him back to house
because in a couple of days he's traveling and going
to play basketball and blah blah blah. Right, and so
I'm like, Okay, you gotta you gotta ice, we gotta
put your heat on after you. You gotta make sure
you're eating. You need your protein you need to like.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
It's like and it's just like and it's constant and
he's aware of it, right and so and he's.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
And he's leaning into it instead of.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Like and I'm no shade to Corey, but that's just
the nature of the beast because he has to right
and everything is focused towards him being the best player
he can be right, which is fine, But then what
does that mean years later for as a relation to
a relationship.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah, yeah, And it's definitely a thing. It's definitely a thing.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
And I think as parents, it's it's our kind of
duty to try to like prevent that from happening as
much as possible, you know. So when they're like, oh,
I'm hungry, I want a sandwich, I'm like, okay, go
make yourself a sandwich. Yeah, get it yourself. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
When she broke it down, because I that had never
crossed my mind because I've dealt with plenty of athletes
to you, But once she broke it down, I was like,
that's the missing piece that I didn't know when I
was in that relationship, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Yeah, I was like, oh that's it. Yeah, yeah, Oh,
they're not really case it's a huge thing. It could.
Like I said, it starts when they're young, it's and
it just keeps going, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger,
especially if they play on a professional level, because you've
got you know, every person in the world works for
that organization to make sure you have what you need.
(43:01):
And then you hire a management company or you know,
your agent, and they have people who are making sure
you have what you need. You have, they're paying your bills,
they're you know, they're making sure you're eating all of it.
It's I didn't know Carrie Hilson was dating that guy. Yeah,
they dated for a little bit. They were like it was,
(43:22):
it was known. It was okay, they were together together.
They were together. I just want to date them for
the night, I know. Yeah, Yeah, moving.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
On, Okay, we got we have one more. This is
from Mancha Mansa mesa Masa's spelled different. It's spelled differently
Mesa mesa, masa masa.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Yes, I'm gonna say masa. Hijazell and Robin.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
I love this show, and honestly, I look forward to
boring car rides or washing dishes because I know I'll
be listening to y'all, and you make every mundane moment
so fun and entertaining.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
So thank you.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
I want to ask you both if you could share
a bit about your experience during the early years of
motherhood kids zero to five. I'm currently postpartum with a
nine month old and have five and have a five
year old son, and life can be challenging and draining.
I have heard it takes a village to raise a child.
I've not always experienced this, unfortunately in your experience, how
(44:23):
was it for y'all? Giselle, how did you handle three toddlers?
Did you have a nanny?
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Did you have help? On a Robin you shared Wan
was not always present those days? How did she do it?
How'd you do it? Robin?
Speaker 2 (44:35):
By the way, my husband's name is Wan. Thanks so
much for reading, for reading my question and sharing. Love
you both. You need to spin off just for the
two of you on Bravo. Okay, let's we're gonna work
on that MESA. Food's from Toronto, Toronto, and we won't
to apologize right now for not knowing.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Exactly where Toronto is. I know where it is? Where
is it? I know I'm not been there a million times?
Where is I mean it's like the most it's like
southeast Toronto. It's like an hour from New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's in Ontario, which is where like southeastern portion of Canada,
(45:17):
which is locate did to where southeast Canada? What do
you mean?
Speaker 2 (45:22):
It's Canada above the United States or society United States?
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (45:27):
Wait a minute? Okay, so wait, Canada's north I know
that of the United States. I knew that. Yes, so,
but it's closer to east coast Toronto. Yes, yeah, that's
why I say it's southeast. Okay, so like Toronto is
actually close to the United States because it's the southern
portion of Canada. I was just seen. If you knew
(45:48):
and the exactly the eastern portion of Canada, you can
actually we actually because we were in Toronto. One played
for the Raptors and was traded to Detroit Pistons and
we drove like it was I can't remember how long
the drive was. It wasn't that long. We drove from
Toronto to Detroit and it wasn't like super long. Okay, Yeah,
just packed up the car and said we're out of here.
(46:09):
Well not kind of, not really okay, but okay, raising kids.
Oh you're raising kids, that's the question. Yes, it's hard
as shit, yes, yes, so masa mesa. If you are struggling,
this is normal. Yeah, okay, we all are all did yes,
but it's temporary. You're going to get through it. I
had a nanny come when they were like up until
(46:32):
they were about eight fifteen months or so. I had
a nanny come like three days a week. Eventually, when
they got to be about like fifteen months, I put
them in a school like a daycare. Yeah, and that
was the best thing ever because it gave you time. Yeah.
It's just when the nanny and the people are in
your house and the kids in your house, they still
want you, like the kids. If you're in the house,
(46:54):
it doesn't matter who's there to help, the kids still
want you. Yeah. So I think once you kids get
of an age where you're comfortable sending them to like
a school or a daycare, like do it, get to
it out of the house.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
And plus they need a little interaction social ye. Social
they socially they need interaction, yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
And then the phrase like it takes a village. It's
not just about you know, Okay, I have like my my,
my mother, or you know, ones like brother We had,
like you know, a bunch of like brothers and uncles
and cousins and stuff that would help my my son's stuff.
But it's also like putting them in activities, like that's
part of the village too. So if you don't have
(47:33):
family that's there that can help you, like put them
in activities where whether I don't know, if you have
a girl or boy, whether it's dance, or it's baseball
or soccer like those some of those people become your village,
are a part of the village that it takes to
raise a child totally.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
And even with the schools I remember, you know, my
kids went to a very small elementary school and those
moms there, they were part of my village. They ain't
know it, but it's part of my They was like
all was looking out for my kids once once we
started filming the show, they would always someone would just
take my kids home, pick them up. Like I knew
I was running late. They would check in with me
(48:11):
like they there was there's like three women, three moms.
I'm not going to shout them out, but they completely
saved my life with regards to my kids they were,
I would like call them in a clutch and they
would be there for me. But when mine were babies,
because I had three, I had a full time nanny.
She would come at six am and she would leave
at six pm.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
And that's a long day. That's a long day.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Yeah, she was getting paid well, so, but I needed
an extra set of hands. There was three of them,
three and then, like Robins said, once Grace was able
to like go to like a little daycare or whatever
I sent her, she ain't like it, but she's all right, right,
she made it.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
She made it through.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
And then once all three of them could go, Yeah,
that's that was like the ticket because I needed a break. Yes,
like a break is you got to you gotta take
a break to rejuvenate yourself, right, Because once my kids
would see me, it was like NonStop every minute, like
there was no minute that I had free hold on
(49:14):
until they went to bed. No, yes, so but I
enjoyed it though, I mean it was it was exhausting
to no end.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
But like you know, once it's over, it's over. Yeah, exactly,
it's over. And so for you, I know you're struggling
or anyone out out here, that's like really in the woods,
in the thick of it, it's gonna it feels like
it's not going to go fast, but it's going to
go by so fast. And you're gonna look back at
those times and be like, Whooo, how did I do it?
Don't know, but I did it. But you did it.
(49:41):
You're gonna do it, so don't. But don't be afraid
to lean on people, even whether it's your neighbors or
like I said, activities, put them in activities, put them
in school. Yeah. Just and don't be afraid to be
like this shit is hard, like oh, yeah, you know,
it's fine. It's totally hard.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
And it would annoy when like moms with like five
kids that act like they were doing that shit with
their ass closed. Right.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
No, no, you're just trying to make everybody else look bad.
Like no. So yeah, and do it your way. I
always say, like, you know, do what's comfortable for you.
Do it your way.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
Nobody can tell you that your way is not the
right way, but I might judge you.
