It's like a soft memory phone. But the pillow is
a problem. I gotta cook in my neck and the

to it. Yeah, like what you can totally discount.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah. No, I've bought plenty thing, but the pillow. It's
the problem. I used to be a big home Shopping
network shopper. I could see that. I can totally see that.
And then you get the ship and you're like, why
did I get this? Yeah? Why did you ever buy
jewelry on there? No? I feel like they always make
the jewel Now I've never bought I've never bought anything
from this, but anytime I've seen, like you know, scrolled
(04:26):
and I've gone to that channel, all the jewelry looks spectacular,
Like they put so many lights on that stuff. The
jewelry is bling, trust and believe you got that thing
in your house. It ain't blink nor blinging. Okay, it's
just one blank. It's blink not bling bling. Because who
used to be on there lot?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh Mariah Carey. Yeah, I wonder if she's still on there.
She had like her whole like butterfly jewelry line.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh I can imagine that. Yeah. Yeah, speaking of Mariah Carey, Yeah,
she has a new song, a new song. Have you
heard it? A little bit of it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I like her a snippet and I turned Yeah, I
don't know. It don't sound like her, you don't think so.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I think Mariah is catfishing us. She's catfishing in her voice,
Like Mariah, that doesn't sound like you. Really, it's like
give me my ball and it's more like a rap.
Say oh and you just Mariah, just girl sing, exercise
the vocals because you have them.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I feel like, well, okay, and we're gonna get trash
because the Mariah Carey fans are ruthless. We're about to
get trashed, yeah, because they're because like Beyonce fans are
sick of you, so they don't even trash us anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But like Mariah fans are gonna come strong. I just
feel like Mariah, like, we don't need new music from Mariah.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No, we don't. We have enough. Yes, she has like.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Great hits, great classics, and if she was to try
to make new music, she would try to make it
to like modern like she would and that's just like
what she shouldn't do. Although I like her little dum
who was it the Emancipation of Me Me?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
That album?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Actually? Do you? I think you're the only one. I
don't What was on that? What like you gotta shake
it up?
Speaker 1 (06:08):

the right album? Like that album was?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
It was?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
She had a bunch of hits on that album. I
think she was trying to collect some checks before November
because you know, come November, it's her season. Okay, she's
just trying to collect couple of jets.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, I don't know, But we don't need new music
from Mariah. We just need Mariah to sing her classics, hits,
her ever and ever and ever. Yeah, and we don't
need anything new. And we love you Mariah. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
moving on, what were we talking about?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh? Your shady moment. Shady moment.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, so this morning, I'm in the bed, you know,
and finally, like, the kids are out of school, so
I get to sleep in a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, I have to get them to school. And I'm like,
is that why you were late starting the podcast, Robin?
Because you were late? That could have been my shady moment.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
No, that's not why I was late. I was late
because one in the shower and I needed to get
in the show.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, no, no, I wan let me in the house. No,
I know he and he was down here in the office.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I know, but but but I when he was in
the shower, I needed to be in the shower, so
I needed to wait for him to get out of
the shower.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Got it, you know, I don't y'all just going there together.
He was talking on the phone in the shower, and like,
why why, how how can he talk on the phone
in the shower? He like, brings his phone in the shower.
I understand that, but won't he get want to mess.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Up your phone because it puts it on a he
gets it out of the way, Okay, but still it's
just he was just doing too much and so he
just like messed me up.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So AnyWho, okay, you're forgiving anywhere. I'm in the bed
and all of a sudden, i just hear all this
yelling like and I'm like, you know, I'm like, oh
my god, what is happening? What is going on?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And I'm like listening and I just hear like and
then you can hear him say word.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's like Michael Jordan, Kevin Duran, Carmelo, what's happening. He's
on the phone debating basketball with his friend and he's
downstairs in the kitchen. I'm upstairs in my bedroom and
I'm like thinking that he is there. There's like a problem.
They're like, we're like, rufe, is someone broke into the house.
(08:15):
Someone like he just got some really bad news. I
don't know, but I'm like, dude, you cannot be debating
basketball yelling right at the top of your lungs on
the phone with your friend at seven in the morning.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I'm gonna say, what time was?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Seven?

you I'm sleep, Cory sleep hard sleep? What is one
doing up? Why doesn't he sleep? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yes, I'm like, this is crazy. And you know his
voice carries, so he didn't even know he's that loud.
And then it'll have the AirPod in so he's even louder.
I was just like, this is nuts, nuts, I'm thinking
something serious is happening.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh okay. So I wanted to read a post that
I saw that I appreciate, and it's with our beloved
Real Housewives of Miami, Marisol and Alexia. And I think
she's giving Alexia. Marissol's giving Alexia some advice what she
(09:22):
does all the time. And she says, sometimes what's right
for the whole ain't right for the soul. Okay, that
is worse to live by. So what's but what is okay?
What's right for the whole? Yeah? Meaning what like vagina?
Is that like the h O L E? Not the
w h O L E? Yes? Oh yes, yeah, what's
(09:48):
right for the yeah? H it right for the soul?
Oh that's funny that yes, yes, that is very true,
very true. This is words to live on? Did he somebody? Yeah? So, ladies,
just you know, take that to heart. So what is
(10:08):
the what?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
So Alexia has divorced her husband, but they got back
to get back together, Like, what's I don't know where
the status is right now.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And you know that what she's referring to is I
do believe this is what she's referring to. I think
they're getting raised to air or they are they airing now?
I think they must have aired I saw, Yeah, So
I think we'll find out more as a season. Okay airs, okay, Okay.
Another thing I wanted to share with you. Interesting this
lady says, can black people weigh in on this? Is
(10:39):
that true? Do y'all rent out the pot? And is
it because you think there's dust in the pot or
the pot is dirty or you think that the first
water that's coming out and touching the pot the water? Okay,
it's okay. So so this is actually when I first
saw this, Yeah, because this is a white lady talking
(11:00):
and she's asking for black people to weigh in. Yes,
I was like the things that white people think, you
know what I mean? Like I would have never thought that,
would have never been a question in my mind as
to why, because because a lot of times black people
we do stuff and we think everybody do it right. Right,
So yeah, lady, it's both okay, but I don't really
(11:22):
do that. I mean it depends the pot.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
So so if I have a pot that's been in
the cabinet, yes, you like before you so like, let's
say you're about to boil the egg. Yeah, you'll like
put some water in it and then put some more
water in it, and then put it on the stove
and then put your egg in.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And all that. I get, you know, I feel like
it's subconscious exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean I'm like, I don't know that
I deliberately do that, but I but now that I'm
like going through what the motions in my mind are like, yeah,
that's what we do, rented.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And just yeah, and we do that and we don't
even think about it.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But apparently white people don't do that, right, But how
does she like, why does this white lady know that
this is a black thing.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Maybe maybe she got a black boyfriend. I don't know. Yeah,
maybe he's like, you're not gonna rint the bottle. I'm
not eating that. I'm not eating that that that water
got dust in it. Now mind you, the dust would
have like evaporated in the cooking or whatever. But yeah,
like this is what we do. Yeah, So I appreciate
her asking.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yes, it is funny though, to see things that you know,
I mean, I don't want to like not stereotype anyone,
but ye see things that like black people do that
white people don't, or that white people do and that
black people don't like.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, we should come up with a list, and we
need to go down the list because maybe white people
don't ever think that there could be your could be
a little dusty, right, yes, or that my position or
my issue at home now is like my kids don't
wash these dishes properly, so I got to re wash
it anyway. Yes, yes, so true. What is up with that?
(12:49):
They don't care? They're going through the motions, That's what's
up with that. They don't care. No, they don't. So
I'm gonna wash it and put some water in it
and pull it out and put some more water. Yeah,
I'm gonna do it, all of it. Oh Okay. I
want to give a shout out to American Airlines has
partnered with celebrity designer Brandon Blackwood. Do you have any
brando in Blackwood? I do not, but but you know
(13:10):

He makes really nice bags. I have several of his
of his bags. He reminds me because he was coming
up behind Telfar, and you know, Telfar has completely exploded
and he is I think he has stories now like

(13:32):

Iceland is number seven?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
They have Are you kidding? They have?
Speaker 1 (17:25):

Their their skin tone is like it's transparent. It's okay.
So we talked about this. I'm bringing this back, Okay,

this back because we talked about this like years ago.
I'm saying years. Have we been in this podcast for years?
Four years? What? So year two of Reasonably Shady Somewhere
(17:52):
in there, we talked about the fact that seven Up
had a flavor called Shirley Temple because you know, I
love Shirley Temple's right It wasn't even that long ago.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
We talked about this so and I tasted it and
it's tasted like it wasn't good. It tasted like, let's
see bad cough medicine. Oh yeah, it was that taste
you know that tastes medicine.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah. Yeah, So they're bringing it back, they say by
popular demand.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No, all the comments are like, y'all lying at ain't
nobody said bring it back? Nobody requests, no one no
requested this, and y'all bringing this ship back?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
So fun? You know what I'm here to tell y'all.
Don't get Shirley Temple seven up.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
No, okay, don't get that, but yeah I did try.
It was like Canada dry ginger ale they have. It's
not something sweet cellular. Okay, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I was Shirley Temple is Yeah, I don't know if
they call it Shirley Temple. Let me see.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It was really good and it was kind of a
I didn't know. It was like I purchased the sugar
free one.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And it was good. It didn't have like that fake
sugar taste. I was really shocked. Was it Shirley Temple?
That one was good? But yeah, what's yeah, I think
it's Shirley Typo flavor. Mmmm, Canada Dry. So Canada Dry
is ginger ale. So yeah, I could see that because
(19:17):
that's that they already have like that gingery taste, and
they could just throw some sugar at it and it'll
probably be good. Yeah, it was good. I don't remember
like the exact name, but it was good. If you
see it, get it all right. So we got oh,
we know her. So we have a little letter from
Amy Cohen. Don't we know Amy? Yes, she's a tried

the wedding for the wedding? Okay? Yeah, what do you
what are your dos and donts? Okay? I want to
try your best not to let it stress you out, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Because yeah, like your guests don't know that like something
didn't happen right or that it went wrong, So don't
stress about it being like absolutely perfect. But in planning it,
you know, it's hard because everyone wants something different. You know,
some people they want, I don't know what size wedding
(21:14):
you're looking for. Some people want the huge wedding with
you know, hundreds of people, and that's a fun, great experience.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
But you know, don't feel.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Pressured to do that if that's not what's like in
your heart or in your budget. Yeah, totally, because you
want to enjoy your day.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
So when you envision what you.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
What would make you happy, how you would enjoy your day,
just stick to that, Like, don't worry about people pleasing Yeah,
you know, because don't allow.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Your fiance to have any say, right, Yeah, because he's
gonna give on your nerves. Yes, and he doesn't know
what the hell he's talking about, and it ain't about him, right,
All I gotta do is put on some clothes and
show up, get a haircut. That's it. It's so funny.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
When I was planning our weddings, both of them, like,
I was always surprised that want actually had like an opinion.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I'm like, wait, huh, you actually you want to know
about this? Like you care?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I was like, I would be so surprised, like no, what,
And then sometimes I'm like, but I will say sometimes
he actually did have a good opinion or a good perspective,
And I was like, Okay, so don't listen listen to Jazelle,
save yourself some stress. If your fiance wants to be involved.
(22:27):
You know, that's a that's something you can bond over,
that's something that you all can have fun doing. So
don't completely shut him out.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Don't make him feel like it's not about him, because
it's about both of y'all. Don't let his family talk.
Don't let his mama take over. Okay, Oh my god,
there's so many notes.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Right, so you're getting all the shady answers from Gazelle
and I'm trying to give you the real one.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, don't dual plan whether it's like a day away, like,
do plan to do something right after? Yeah? Yeah, just
the two of you. Yes, even if it's like it
didn't have to cost anything, Like even if it's just
you know, y'all go down the street to a local something,
just do that, right, Yeah, because y'all, y'all need to
debrief and y'all need to have your moment and you
(23:18):
need to, like, you know, just start your marriage off together. Yes, yeah,
I agree. Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
One thing, so at your wedding, make sure I mean this,
if this is important to you, this was very important
to me. Make sure you actually take the time to
sit and eat your food.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Because you paid for it. That's true. You know that
is true.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
And a lot of times at weddings the bride and
the bride and groom gets all caught up with like
saying hi to people or being being interrupted taking pictures,
are just always doing something like for me, I was like,
I am eating my food. We know, I sat at
the table. Was one there he started he walked around.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Okay, and Rob was like, I'm gonna get my all
my food.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
So just make sure you eat your food, drink drink
your drinks, eat your cake, all of that, like the
stuff that you spent time debating on, deliberating on, like,
enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
True, don't I had another don't shoot? What was my
don't okay you said eat the food. I can't remember,
but enjoy it like it Hopefully it will only happen
one time. And you know, make sure that you pay

about you and what you want, so like their opinions
really don't matter. Yeah.

Yeah, And you're going to find that there are so
many options out there, one hundred million are You're gonna
be confused and.
Speaker 2 (25:11):

a modern wedding, and the next you want I don't

want a green theme. Like you're gonna be all over
the place. So yeah, try to just really like like

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Ready, so this is funny, all right? So this is
from Jenny. Hey, Jenny, Jenny Linel. She said, high ladies,
before I ask my shady question, I do want to
take a moment and tell you guys that I have
been loving the podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I crack up every morning driving to work. Thank you, Jenny.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
You guys are hilarious. I live for the pod. Also, Gizelle,
I'm loving the Love Hotel.

I don't know why Shannon was crying so much over
Earle and Giselle go after while at Ashley clearly is
playing and yes, girl, get Phil. He has some coins
in the bank, mister double r. So then she says, okay,
let me get to the serious part of this message.
Since the Christlies have been released from jail and we
(26:45):
know that they did it, should we or should I say,
I write a letter to Donnie asking him to release
Karen because we know she needs her weight glue. The
botox might have shifted by now and she needs to
come to glow thirty. No, but in all seriousness, I
think it's time she's out of there.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Is this too shady?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
A concerned fan of rhops. I'm actually feel I feel
the same way. I mean, like, Karen's been in jail
long enough, like she learned her lesson? Get her out
of there? Does she learn it?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You think? So?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
She's been in there for like, how long has she
been in there for? Now? Was it like the end
of February that she went in? Okay, it's just like
three months, right, that's all for four months? Three and
a half months, A long time. I just feel like
I thought about it the other day. I'm like, get
Caring out of jail, Like she didn't learn whatever lesson
we're supposed to learn here. She't gonna do it again.
Get out of jail, please, so I know, yes, so, yes,
(27:41):
I'm with whoever this is, what's your name? I'm with Jenny, Jenny,
I'm with you. Get Caring out of jail. And yes,
the botox has shifted in her as well. The hair
needs a cooth. That's just that'll be a sight to see. Yeah,
I don't want to see it. Get Stephen and all
of the people together with her first, and then I'm
gonna come over there and give care some love because
like whoa baby be?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Okay, but by the way, the president cannot get Karen
out of jail.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Oh why not? Because it's all state? Yeah, okay, And
did you see Katie was asking? Was like, oh my gosh,
I should.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
First of all, Katie Ross, you don't know Donald Trump
or anyone that knows him, right, Well, maybe you do.
I don't know. She might who knows, Katie? Katie be
doing the most out here. Okay, loves her attention, she does.
So Katie clipped this that we just talked about you
and put it on your put it on your Instagram. Honey,
(28:34):
you're welcome. Okay. So this is from Alberta and she says,
my husband has told me that he doesn't believe in
happy wife, happy life. After all our time together, he
says this, And now what do I do, Alberta? I
need more information. I know I'm just not enough. I
(28:55):
need more information, right, because like, is he what else
is going on here? Yes? Is was he showing you
that he doesn't believe in this? Is he just saying it?
I need more information? Yes? Are you not being treated well? Alberta?
Send us more information? In the streets. Is he in
these mean streets? Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
But let's set us up all right. So he doesn't
believe in happy wife, happy life. Yeah, so that means
he doesn't care in making you happy, or he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Believe that if he makes her happy, it's going to
make his life better, right right? So all of it,
all of it. I need more information, Like what is
this man doing? We need more? Yeah, okay, we need more. Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
So this is from Katie from Canada. She said, good morning,
my friends. I haven't even finished today's episode in Sensitive Biscuits,
but you had me.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
In tears over here and not in a good way,
and I need it to let you know.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Obviously, the question about if you had to lose your
memories from the past or the future is just meant
to be thought provoking and couldn't happen. But once I
started thinking about it, I had genuine anxiety.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Oh do you remember that topic?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Derek Dash said in a question He was like, would
you rather pretty much only have your memories from the
past or only have your memories from the future?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Do you remember that? Okay? I remember that? And what
did we say? We said? You said like future? Like
really quickly.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
So, she says, my mother passed away from Alzheimer's in
December twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I was forty three.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I would give anything not to lose my memories of
her and the amazing woman that she was. On the
flip side, I have six children aged fourteen to twenty seven.
I need to see their futures, their weddings, their babies, etc.
This morning, just the act of thinking of which to
lose nearly did me in. I was surprised that Sheaselle
said the future so quickly. What about her memories of
(30:51):
her father? Oh, I'm getting anxiety just writing this. Also,
that is a shit song. It is thank you, thank
you anyway, just my perspective, so you can share in
my anxiety.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Lol. Lots of love.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
So yeah, dang, we didn't like think that deep about it.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I didn't. Yeah, we just kind of like said, we
said we moved.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
On, right, But she is right, Yes, a very tough question,
and right, like do you don't if we If you
lose memories of your past, you lose memories of all
the people that came before you. Or if you lose
memories of the future, then you don't know what, Like
you don't see what your kids are up to.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, and how do you like that question?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
You ask. You can't make new memories, right, so we're
just gonna act like that never happened. I know, I think.
I mean, if like, if I had to pick one,
I think it would still be I think. Yeah, I
think the future. I just think when you're like, because
(31:51):
how depressing would your future be if you didn't have
the ability to remember it. That's that's depressing. So yeah,
I'm going with the future. But that is very sad,
sad question. Yeah, thank you. This is from Carly, not
our Carly. Carly, Hi, ladies, please help. I've been a
(32:17):
part of the Shady Bunch reasonably shadester since episode one
and wouldn't have it any other way. Yes, we do.
I recently took a Monday off. Instead of listening to
the podcast to make an hour past, I decided to
watch the YouTube video. Okay, so everybody need to be
watching on YouTube Okay. Biggest mistake ever. I didn't realize
(32:40):
how much I'd miss seeing Robin's face you guys, chemistry,
and that I'd enjoy watching versus listening. Should I keep
listening or start watching? And Gazelle you can't say both
with love, Carly, Okay, So question I can say. I mean,
(33:01):
it's obvious, like, if you watch it, there's so much
more that you can that makes more sense. Right, you
can see our facial expressions, you can see our dynamic
blah blah blahlah right, soaring.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, So I think if you have time, yes, watch it,
watch it. Okay, yeah, yeah I agree.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
But if not, if you just like if you're moving around,
if you're in the office or whatever, you can only
like just listen, then then obviously just listen. But yeah,
but I think watching it should be your first choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I agree. Okay, we figured it out, Carly or Carly both?
What you said, I shouldn't say both, right, dude.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Like listen to it in the car and then watch
it while you're, like, you know, around the house.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes, yeah, yeah, I love that. Yeah all that.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Okay, get the double double double. All right, this is
a good question, she said, Please don't use my name. Okay, So,
hi ladies. I am in my mid forties and have
no children. I am very sixful. I love to travel shop,
she said, think lux bags and jewelry and eat good food.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
The problem is I don't have any friends who can
afford to do with a lot of a lot of
the things I like to do. Where can I meet
other successful women to hang out with? It's so difficult
making friends when you don't have kids. Love the show,
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
So I would say, you know, it's hard because I
have kids, and so a lot of my life is
centered around the kids. And a lot of the women
I meet, you know kids or friend you know they're
their kids are friends with my kids and the basketball gyms. Yeah,
but I would think try a traveling club like there
are Yeah, so there I've heard of like a lot
(34:46):
of different travel agents or travel clubs for you know,
women who like to travel, and you can probably pick
the level of the trip so that you know, like, Okay,
if I'm going on this lux trip, then you're going
to be around women that can probably afford the lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
That you live. Yes, I like that. I didn't even
think about that. Yeah, or even try like.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
A retreat like a you know, yoga retreat type of situation,
like at a high end place. But then I guess
if you do like the travel club or if you
do something like those people aren't local, so you really
just have to kind of travel to be around them.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yeah, you gotta get to know them. Yeah. Yeah, they're
not like your girlfriends that you've been knowing forever. Yeah.
There's also like you know, if you're part of a gym,
like because my one of my fitness instructors, he does this,
I think like every six months, like he'll he'll put
together a trip and it's like a workout slash just
like a venture trip. So like the last time they
did it, they went to Nicaragua, They're going to Bali.
(35:42):
Like they're very high end trips. So yeah, I think
if you really put your mind to it, you can
figure it out in your environment alrighty.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Right, Yeah, Like if you look up so you like
luxury stuff so and high end stuff, so go to
high end gym, high end lounges or high end hotels,
you know, and then just find the people that kind
of congregate there.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
But it is difficult to find like rich people that
know how to rich write right, and who are who
you want to be around because you know who and
who don't have kids and who don't have kids. Yeah,
that's I think that's the part that's Yeah, that's the
part that kind of makes it difficult because it's ship.
They can have kids, but they also want to well well.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Well, okay, don't have kids that they have that kind
of like take up their It depends on how old
their kids are, right, Okay, So if they have kids
that are older, out of the house, grown, blah blah blah,
then cool. You know what's her name, but she's well,
she didn't want me to say her.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh that's right. Okay, whatever your name is, count me in.
I'm coming, yeah, because I got some I got a
little cash in my pocket, and my kids, you know,
I can leave them they're done. So yeah, okay, so
you just found a friend, just so yay, nice, Okay.
So hey, hey ladies, this is from Tiffany. I've been
Day one fans. Day one is in Bold. I've been
(37:06):
a Day one. Hey. Thanks. I've watched every single episode
of The Housewives potomach and listened to every episode of
Reasonably Shady, and some of them twice.

Whooa.
Speaker 2 (37:17):

you otherwise otherwise you ain't really a fan, right.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
You both? Sincerely brighten up my mondays I just have
to write in and say thank you, especially to Robin.
I took your advice and actually filled out one of
those random settlement forms come in the mail and guess what.
Drum roll please, I got a check WHOA for twenty
(37:48):
one dollars woo and sixty five cents. Oh, thank you, Robin, Yes,
love you ball. Here's to lunch on me. And that
was from Tiffany. Okay, so twenty one dollars. I wonder
how long it took her to fill out those forms.
Five minutes. I doubt it if that could have taken
her longer. No, okay, so I was worth it. I
(38:09):
guess it is. Yeah, okay, that's that's lunch. That's like, listen,
I'm about to get something from equinox. So I'm good.
I was about to shoot me.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
At check, run me my money, all right. This one
is from John Reed. He says happy June teenth and
Pride month. Yes, happy Pride, yes.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yes, especially Juneteenth. Yes, yeah, we don't get our love.
I know.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Okay, because they're trying to like, did Trump take that
holiday away?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Is that no longer a federal holiday? Veterans Day, Memorial Day? Juneteenth?
All of them throw them in the change can.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
He said that to Veterans Day Memorial's Day too, Okay,
I might be making that up, Okay, but I think he.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Did say Veterans Day, he said he. I think he
want to call it Trump Day something something crazy. Oh God,
ok I can't wait for this to be over.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
It is entertaining, though it's I'm not entertained, no longer
entertained by this foolishness because it's just like you think
this so the people of this country and this country
is a joke to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and
leave Gaven alone. Just leave Gavon alone. Oh oh my gosh. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Anyway, moving on, So.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
John says, I was just curious, speaking of Pride Month,
who do you consider your gay icons?
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Mine would be Mariah Carey whate that?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And I don't understand it. What do you mean gay right? Okay?
Or she's like but she's like a champion for gay rights?
So is that or is that like? Okay? So I
guess he means like who the gays love? He needs
to specify, because that's how's Mariah Carriyer gay a gay icon?
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Because I'm thinking, make any sense? I need some specification.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
She said, I've seen her live with My god Mom
and it was fabulous. She's rumored to show up late.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
But she was right on time. We just trashed Mariah
five minutes ago in the same episode. Clearly trash Mariah.
What's the same? He's not gonna be our friends anymore.
This is John read John, we love you.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
So I guess John is saying, like, uh, they don't
have to be gay, but they are like an artist
or a person that the gay community loves, like Share, yes,
like a share or Madonna okay or yeah, or Mariah Carey.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Or I want the person to be gay. Yeah. It's
kind of like drag queens. Like there's drag queen queen
icons by the way, yes, what is it? World Pride happens,
and there there's the guy that owns tally Ho. Shout
out to tally Ho. If anybody who watched photomach Nos,
that's Karen's diner that she loves and I love it too.
I go there with my children all the time.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
They have wonderful donuts by the way, Okay, their chocolate
donut is to die for.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Okay. So he ran in about the drag queen. Oh gay,
I mean during World Pride. Oh nice, okay, and he
said something to the effect of, oh my gosh, yeah,
I love like the Rospal's Potomac and Robin. You were
fribbing he was, And Bob the Drag Queen said, he
you know what the real housepis Potomac was It acted
(41:13):
like he ain't know who Robin was. Bob, have you
lost your mind? You did a goddamn show with Robin Dixon.
It was called Traders. Oh my god, and Bob, I'm
like one of your things? But should I be? And
so the guy that said that to him and looked
at him like you know what I'm talking about? Like,
what are you doing? Maybe you had had one too
(41:35):
many to drink that day, Bob, I don't think he was.
He was in his glory mode. But even in your
glory and in your mom you're gonna deny Robin Dixon
and Potomac. What are you doing? I don't. I don't
think he watched Potomac. That's fine, but still like you
should kind of know of it now.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Hello, Bob the drag Queen. Okay, Oh so he was
my gay icon. I take it back, Yeah, take it back,
I take it. I like Chandela Chandela.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Yes, yeah, we love her. Yeah, she's she's very good, yes,
very very good. Yeah, on top of her game. Okay,
we got we got top of one more, all right,
one more. Okay, this is from yat Nira.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Okay, she said, Hey, gurlies, I love, love, love watching
reasonably shady. Y'all are so funny and I love y'all's banter.
So I'm watching Love Hotel right now, and I see
myself in you so much and me. Yes, yes, you
know what you want and don't lower your expectations at
all and talk to the.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Men as genuinely, genuinely you. Yep.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I love how you talk back instead of just agreeing
with everything they say. I hate when girls just agree
with men just because, just because.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Also, Earl is crazy for gas lighting Shannon. Earl over
here is saying shame. You were supposed to know the
trajectory of a hurricane and it it because of that.
You should have been with me, You should have supported me.
You gotta watch that episode. Oh my god, hilarious. Okay,
oh my god, that's hilarious. Okay. Anyways, I love when
(43:14):
y'all use new slang. It's so funny.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
I'm an incoming sophomore in college right now, so I'm
pretty familiar with slang, and I wanted to teach.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Y'all some new words. Yes, give it to us, girl,
give it to him. Yes, okay, some new words so
I can tell grace. Right.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
The first one is negative aur, so a aura? Are
My kids were like making fun of me for how
I say it?
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Aura? Aura? Aura? Yeah, okay aura.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
The first one is negative aura or plus one thousand aura.
Let's say someone trips, that's negative aura. If someone scores
a half court shot backwards, that's plus one thousand ora.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Yes, aura. Yes.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
The next word is huzz. I've never heard this one.
Huzz is basically the person you're trying to impress, like
a crush.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
Oh like your husband? Oh I guess so yeah. You
can also use fine ship, fine ship. That's like oh yeah, no, no,
like I've heard you know this. Oh well, they that's
my fine ship. Well they had to not say ship,
but yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Okay, that's like your girlfriend a boyfriend. Who isn't your
girlfriend a boyfriend yet?
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Yeah? But they you know, they want to acknowledge that
that's some fine ship, right, yeah, okay, okay, So if
they don't say ship to you. What are they say?
They they were telling me a story and they said fine,
and then they spelled it out. Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
The last word is nonchalant, probably the most popular word
right now. It means calm, referring to a person or
doing something without difficulty, like Robin is pretty nonchalant in
my opinion, Love y'all and Love Y'all's podcast.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Okay, So slang, that's that's not slang, that's that's ye.
But I guess they're words. I guess they're using it
more often now. Okay. So Grace the other day was like, man,
you need to say who is you?
Speaker 1 (45:02):
What? No?
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Who is you? Like if somebody's talking and you don't
want to listen to what they have to say, you
just look at him and say who is you? Who
is you?
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Who is you?
Speaker 2 (45:11):
And I was like, did she learn that down in
the South? I'm sure? And Grace watched Batty Batties Shot
a Clock all the time. She'd be watching Africa Batties, Batties,
Batties going Wild. She loved it. Oh lord there. I
don't know where she got the subscription prescription whatever for
the Zoos channel. I don't know where she got the
money for that, but she I think she's hacking somebody's anyway.
(45:33):
She said, if I don't want to hear somebody talking,
I need to look at him and say who is you?
Who is you? And I need to say it like that.
She made me practice in the mirror. Who is you?
All right? Sorry? So are you going to use that
on someone? Oh? Maybe? All right, all right, let's use it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
I don't know if I can deliver it well, but okay,
So a question that now we're referring to the fine shit, Like,
so your girls don't curse around you?
Speaker 2 (45:58):
Right? They ask for permission? Oh they do, yeah, and
then they say the word yes. If they asked me
for permission and I say okay, they said they will say.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
The word okay, yeah okay. So like apparently a lot
of these parents are like letting their kids like kids
just curse all the time. Yeah, Like I always hear it.
Some of my my kids are on they have a
bunch of friends on a group chat. They always like
on FaceTime. It might be like fifteen kids at one time.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
And those kids just are like cursing up a store, yeah,
talking crazy, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
I'm like, and so I'm like, Corey and Carter, I
know y'all don't talk like that, like you know, and
so did they say no or yes? They say no,
and like Carter will tell, He'll he'll tell if you know,
if he had to, But the friends say they don't
talk like that either. We ask the friends like they
talk like this to y'all. They like, so, no, they
know better, they know better, they know better. But I'm like,
(46:48):
and even the other day, we were at Corey's basketball
practice and Wyam was talking to one of the players.
