Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome to Reasonably Shady. This is Gaselle Brian here, and
I am here with hello everyone.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
My name is Robin Dixon.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yes, this is our Reasonably Shady podcast. This is our
first podcast. Guys. We don't know what the hell we're doing,
but just bear with us because we're going to figure
it out and by the time we're like on episode
I don't know, twenty eight will be great. So we
do kind of want to tell people how we met, right, well.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I think we should start off with just why are
we Why is this podcast called reasonably Shady?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
That's very important. So to know us is to know
that Robin is extremely reasonable. She's like practical, She's always
like Switzerland. She always tries to see the good in people.
And I'm just shady.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, Yes, So Gizelle's first reaction to something is a
shady one, and then.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I think about it, I process it, and then I
try to be like Robin, which is very reasonable, but hmmm,
doesn't really work. I just stay on the shady side.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, you sure do, Yes, I mean, but sometimes you
don't take that much convincing. I have to, like, you know,
we'll have a private conversation. I'll say well, look at
it this way. Sometimes I get through to you. Yes, yes,
but yes, so welcome to reasonably shady where you will
get a lot of reason and a lot of shade.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yes, absolutely, Now I can say that. One hundred years ago,
I moved to Baltimore, I got married, and me and
my husband at the time went to the car wash.
And who did I see but this beautiful woman. And
I was like, oh my gosh, she really pretty. She
kind of looked like me, you know what I'm saying, And.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
That's why she was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yes, that's why she was beautiful. But no, I saw
her and I was like, Wow, she's really really beautiful,
and I thought to myself, I wonder who that is.
Then years later I was at a party, lo and
behold this beautiful woman was introduced to me. Yes by
our friend Cherisa.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yes, yes, so Charis invited us both to a charity event,
one of the biggest, you know, one of the biggest
charity events in the city of DC. All the women
look forward to it. Everyone gets pissy drunk. So everyone
was pissy drunk at this charity event except for us. Maybe, yeah,
probably like a little bit. I was probably partaking. We
ended up at the same table, sitting right next to
(02:24):
each other.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yes, So once I realized who she was, She's Robin Dixon.
It dawned upon me because when I moved to Baltimore,
Robin is from Baltimore that everybody kept asking me was
I related to Robin Dixon? And I was like, I
don't know, no, Robin Dixon, and who the hell is
Robin Dixon and Robin Dixon what? So then I was like,
holy shit, you the girl everybody's been asking me about.
(02:45):
And she's beautiful, so I don't mind being related to her.
We're not related, but I mean, you know, okay, I'll
take that exactly. So we instantly became besties and like
the rest is history.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
But I feel like it took like it was like
we were sitting next to each other and we instantly
were being reasonably shady. I probably was being shady too, though,
absolutely we've been shady shady, yes, And we were just
you know, observing the people in the party, you know,
making little comments about what was going on, yes, and
having a good time.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And it probably took a minute really for you to realize, oh,
you're the girl from Baltimore that everyone thinks.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yes, my cousins. Right. It did take a minute, but
once I figured it out, I was like cool, Like,
at least it was somebody that I thought was cool
as opposed to an asshole, right, And.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You know, it's kind of weird. It's like, even though
you didn't know me, just figuring out that there was
some sort of connection and you knew people that knew me,
it was like, okay, all right, she's really cool. And
then I realized that she was the woman on the
side of the metro bus that I would see.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I hate robbing right now, Okay, I hate robbing because
once upon a time I was on metro buses as
a billboard. Not because I'm wanted for like a crime
or something.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well no, no, no, you weren't on the bus for
a crime, but you were like laying on top of
your then husband Jamal, like come to our church.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yes, okay, they were very cute. It was it was
very cute.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And I was like, look, are you hated the picture?
I need I have to find a picture of these busses.
I mean I would literally be like, oh, who's that
woman on the side of the bus.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
She's pretty, Like who are they Robin is hating on
my task. Yes she is.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
No, I'm not like it was. So we were like instantly,
I was like, oh, that's the woman outside of the
bus and Jazelle was like, oh that's the woman that
everyone thinks it's my cousin. Yes, and we were, you know,
both silly, goofy, having fun, laughing, instantly hit it off.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes, yes, And then years later we got to call
about a show called The Row Housewives Potomac and we've
rocked that out for I don't know, several seasons. So
it helps solidify I mean, we were already besties before then,
but it really helped with our relationship. And we've had
each other's back on the show. They've been trying to
test apart, but we have had each other's back, and
(05:06):
I like, totally appreciate that. By the way, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh, I mean that's what real friends too.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Absolutely, So can we talk about their Housewives of Potoma? Yes,
how we got here so Jizelle will tell you. So.
When they first started casting for a show for Bravo,
you know, they say, oh, they're looking for an ensemble
cast of women in the in the DC area, and
Jezelle had already been talking to a casting director, and
Sureisa had already been talking to the same casting director.
(05:35):
And they said, well, call Robin because you know, she's
our friend. She'd be great. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And I want to say I was already in. They
liked me.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yes, yeah, she was already in. So the casting director
calls and so they're both like, Rob when you talk
to the casting director, I'm like, for what, Like, I mean,
I don't got nothing going on. I was going through
like I was. My life was in shambles. I will
be honest about that. You know. Financially we were in
a bad my relationship was in a bad place, all
that type of stuff. I think I was divorced by
(06:04):
the Yeah, I was, Yes, you were definitely divorced. So
I was like, I'll talk to him, but whatever. I
talked to him, and my first lead, you know, I'm like,
not in my opinion, not auditioning for a show. I'm
having a conversation. So my first you know line with him,
he was like, you know, oh, tell me about yourself.
I was like, well, I don't live that life.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
That's bad. I should have prepped Robin and I did.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I'm like, I'll be honest, I'm not living that life.
And so he called either Gazelle or the reason was like,
I hate her.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay, So I'm going to give the story how it
really happened. So I was in, I was good to go,
and they were like, do you have any friends and
I was like, yes, Robin, and you're gonna call her
and she's gonna be amazing. And so they called this
person that I had hyped up like I was a
hype woman. I was like, she's amazing, and then Robin
is on the phone like not giving a shit. So
the guy immediately called me back and was like I
(06:54):
hate her and she's out, and I was like, oh,
hell no, call her back, call her back, call her back.
So it took Robin a minute to be nice to
casting and so finally, you know, they obviously loved her
in the rest of.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
The rest is history. Yeah, every day, I'm still like,
how did I get on this show?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Because I told him called Robin back, right.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But it's been fun. It's been a journey, and most
of you who watch the show have seen our relationship,
and you know, I think the name of our podcast
reasonably shady, is it? You probably think it fits us?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes, yes, So how do we get to this podcast?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
We got to talk about the pandemn demic, okay, because
that is what it is. And like I think, during
the beginning of the pandemic, we decided for whatever reason
to have an Instagram Live together because we were bored. Yes, shitless,
we were bored.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We missed each other, yes.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yes, and so we did that.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And we don't get on Instagram a lot, like we're not,
you know, addicted to social media. So that was kind
of like the first time in a really long time
we had gotten on Instagram Live together.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah. Did you even have lashes at that point? Did
you have some lashes on it? Because I think I
looked real crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You might have had a turbine on my head or something.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You had a term. I have like my hair like
on a ponytail top of my head.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I have lashes. The pandemic hit, okay, can we talk
about like the pandemic hit? And I was like, oh, yes,
I mean I was like kind of loving it at
first because I was like, oh, I don't have to
get my hair done, I don't have to get my
lashes done. I don't have to put on clothes. I
don't have to And.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's a dream for Robin. For everyone to know, that
is Robin's dream in life, to never have to do
any of those things anything anything.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I didn't have to get my nails done. I let
my nails fall off. I still haven't put them back.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
On, right.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
What else.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You had on? Sweatpants every day?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Pants? Every day? I was drinking wine at ten am
and eating chocolate cake at four am.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Wait wait, I remember Robit Cobby and she was like,
just hell, oh my god. It was midnight and I
had I just polished off an ice cream bar. I
can't do it anymore. And I was like, back away
from the refrigerator, yeack away.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It was hard. I gained like a good fourteen pounds
during the pandemic. Yeah, during that, like that first two
months of the pandemic, I gained fourteen pounds for sure.
And then a light switch went off and I was like,
I hate food. I don't want to Yes, I was like,
I don't want to eat, I don't want anything. So
(09:29):
now can like and this has been going on till
this day. I've only had a bar. It's everyone, It's
eight thirty at night PM and I've had one bar,
like a protein bar.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay, but rob when we can eat. I mean we
didn't have to go that far, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But something happened. I mean I still eat, but it's
like I'm not hungry.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I went from eating all day, right all night, staying
up until like four in the morning and just pigging
out to not eating, Like so.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You're like a bear and hibernation. Yes you have stored
up fat and then yes, yeah, but right so I decided,
Like for me, it was kind of similar, like one
day I woke up and I was like, I'm not
cooking anymore. And I have children, and I was like,
I don't care if they starve because there's gonna be
no food being cooked up in this home. My god,
(10:20):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yes, because at first we were cooking all day, three
times a day. Now I am proud to say I
am like a Platinum plus tier member of Chick fil A,
Like I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I can't, I can't because I'm right behind you.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yes, Ever, the highest reward level is I'm that I
redeem my rewards for free cookies for a free chicken sandwich, Like.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
It's just on an app. I gotta get on the app.
What I'm not on the app? You're not on the
What am I missing?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You're missing free chicken sandwich and freeze nuggets and free okie.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay, I'm doing it now, I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm getting on a scott damn app. All right, you
are they.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Delivering to you?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So what I do is I drive up to the
mall where the Chick fil a is, I give my
kids my card and I sit in the car and
they go in there and get the food and then
come out. So I need to get a app.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
What I do is I opened the app and I
hit repeat last Order and you know, sin and like,
yes the app. I want.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I want my rewards. I have already told people I
am the cheapest richest woman you will meet. Okay, I
want my goddamn rewards. Okay, all right, will we got sidetracked, Robin, So.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
No, I know, but I feel like all of that,
like it's hard to talk about a pandemic and not
talk about all the shit that we want.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, that's true. And it was literally it was a
lot because Robin, you and I were sending each other menus.
I mean not menus. We were sending each other recipes
of different food that we could cook, and none of
it was like fat free. None of it was like
the skinny portion. This was all like food food looking good, yes, yes,
with BUTTA. So that had to stop. That stopped. That
(12:12):
was horrible. But I feel like, you know, clearly we're
coming out of the pandemic and I feel better about
my life.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh, me too, absolutely, And spring is sprung. Yes, that
always helps. So it was a really rough patch for
me just this past like you know, fall, winter, and
now that spring is here, it's like, okay, spring is here.
We have a vaccine, Yes, we have you know, I
think we're we've just become more accustomed to life as
it is. Although I feel like we are getting better
(12:41):
and I'm feeling better about life. I am.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'm feeling really good. And you know, we're in the
state of Maryland, and the State of Maryland is doing
great with their numbers, and that's making me feel like,
you know, there's there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It is, absolutely but I'm still very cautious. Yes, you know,
I'm not out and about. I'm not you know, trying
to be a big gatherings. I'm not you know, when.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm my god, do you see all these spring breakers
spring Breakers have lost their damn mine?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
It is something called peachry dish of germs and it
makes me my stomach cart.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It's like they just like release them from jail and
they just like, but you know what, I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna throw shade because when I get into
a club, I'm acting like I'm twenty five. Yes, I
can't wait until that I'm dropping like it's high. I
mean right, and I don't want to go to the club.
But when that time, I don't want to go, but
I'm going, Yes, yes, we're gonna have a good old time.
So my I will say, my outlet has been and
(13:31):
we still have to get back to this how this podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yes, we're getting there. We're getting there, young us. This
is reasonably shady. Bear with us.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, this is why we're here with you because we
have so much to talk about, and we go we
you know, we get on the sidetracked and come right back.
But my outlet has been basketball tournaments. M So we
have you know, wanna and I or I have a
youth basketball team that Wan coaches.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Wan is her husband fiance, yes, husband.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yes, and so our son Corey plays on the team.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Robin is the is a boy mom. I'm a girl mom.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I know, yes, so boy mom all day.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So we have been traveling every other weekend to play
in basketball tournaments. The kids playing mass like. It's all
very socially distanced all that, but in the nighttime the
parents turn all the way up. I mean, we're literally.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Basketball parent turnout.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Oh yes, wow. We are literally at the games with hangovers.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Because that's a game.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yes, we are turning up. And literally one weekend my
son was telling me stuff that I said and I
did and I don't remember. So yes, those have been
my releases.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
That's called bad mom, just in case y'all don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I mean, but MoMA gotta be happy.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Mommy gotta be happy.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
We got to be happy. So anyway, that's you know, No,
I haven't been in the club, but we have created
our own little club. In the residence in Okay or.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Not to turn up into residence in is a turnout.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
The Wyndham Garden, This.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Is a turnout.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
We get the ball, we get the conference.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Are you drinking dog? Twenty twenty. What is at the bar?
Tell me what's at the ball?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
We have a stock bar. We have to kill it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
We got what kind of tequila? Because there's different kinds
stuff cosamikos. Okay, this is a horrible turnout. Okay, great goose.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, all right, that's my drink anyway. So okay, back
to where we were talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's such been your outlet for the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
That has been my outlet over the past few months.
Like at first, I was very like, I'm not even
a house. I'm not going anywhere. And now it's like, okay,
these kids need to get on the basketball court and
I need to leave the house. Okay, that is I
like an outlet.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Getting back to how we are here at this podcast,
people robbing went on a rant. We like we said,
we we did an Instagram live together. We did want
our too, maybe just one I can't remember. And the
feedback that we were getting or the comments were that, oh,
you know, Jesselle Robin, y'all should have a green eye bandage,
(16:09):
y'all should have a podcast, right, And I think.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's because when we're talking to one another, the people
who are listening or watching they feel like they're like
our girlfriends too, or our friends too, Like they're right
there in the room with us, and they're like, you know,
they're getting it. They're keicky in with us, Like we're
not just like talking, you know, just about the show,
and like we're literally just laughing, joking, having fun. And
(16:34):
I think people people really responded to that, like they
were messaging me, yes, messaging both of us, like, you
guys need a podcast. You guys need a podcast, right,
And so I Robin told me I put it OUTGA
one day, Yeah, Robin called me and said, she said,
you know, people were giving that kind of feedback.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I put it out into the universe. In other words,
I call my manager and I told her to make
it happen. And here we are today. We are on Iehead,
we are on the Black Effect platform. Thank you Black Effect.
We love y'all. And you know, I feel like this
is a great way, speaking of outlets of us to
like share our stories. We've been through personally a lot.
(17:15):
You know, I'm divorced, I got three kids. Robin is
not really divorced, kind of not really. She's okay, fine,
she's married, she has two kids, and we're both entrepreneurs.
We both believe in success. We try to get our
hustle on. We try to teach our kids to be
the best people that they can be. And I feel like,
(17:37):
you know, there's a lot of people out there that
are striving for greatness. So that is what we are
going to try to bring you all week by week.
But first, because we are reasonably shady, we'd like to
give y'all individually our reasonably shady moment of the week. Robin,
(17:57):
would you like to go first?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Okay? I will go first. So today I had an
appointment to get corn rows.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay, explain that. Because it's that different from loose locks,
lemon locks. I need an explation because I don't know
nothing about these braids.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well me neither. That's the problem. So you know, I
don't know a whole munch about hair. I just typically
I go to my hairstyles and I say, do my hair,
thank you. So I don't really know the terminology for
corn rows or braids or whatever it is. So I
just told the girl I want corn roads. I'm going
on a trip I don't want to do with my hair.
I want some corn roads. And she's like, well, what stout.
(18:35):
Do you want? I was like, oh my lord, what
do you mean? So I was like, just I said,
just do something cool, right, I'm thinking because I've gotten
corn roads before. And it literally took like less than
two hours to do. And I had all these appointments,
you know, I had somewhere to be Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yes, call my house to do this podcast podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Ye. Yes. So I was like, okay, my appointments at two,
I'll be out by the latest. I can go home
and you know, eat something for her, you know, see
my kids, make sure they're cool.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Nah. Five and a half hours later, right, I walk out.
First of all, I had to I texted you out
probably like five times. Oh I'm running late. Oh I'm
even later. Oh I'm even later, Like I literally and
it's so crazy. It's like I thought she was almost done,
but she wasn't. It was like, okay, there was like
(19:30):
a patch of hair and I was like, okay, that's
the last one. And it was like oh okay, no,
now it's the last one.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And then it was like, so, oh, here is reasonably
shady you to me because you late or the lady
that did your head to you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'm gonna say me because I did not tell her
I was on a time constraint, okay, you know, like
and it's like once she started doing her thing, it's
too late. You know. I couldn't be like, wait, whoa wall,
wait a minute, this feels like it's taking a little
bit longer, you know, when I got like half my hair.
So they're very cute.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
By the way, Robin looks really cute. For those of
you all cannot see us, she looks very very cute,
and she's a very pretty woman. And that's why we
love her. Even though she was two hours late.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
No, I was two. It's really more like.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Three yeah, no, no three late latest bock. There we go.
There we are just late.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, So I am the shady person because.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
You're okay, all right. So, and just to know us
is to know that Justzelle's always on time. I live
by that. I don't know where that came from in
my life. I'm a virgo. Yes, I'm always on time,
and Robin's always late. So guys, if you all don't
get an episode from us, it's because Robin didn't show up.
She was late.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Oh shit, then no, just call a guest, okay, or
I'll just do it myself.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh no, So okay, anyway, all right, so my good
thing is.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Like you love me? Yes, It's so crazy. I was
like when I was texting her, I was like, I'm
running late. I was like, oh shit, I don't know
what she's gonna says, like okay.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I was like, okay, what was I gonna say? Okay?
Oh god?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Actually, And honestly, we were supposed to do this at
ten am. Yes. And I called her last night, yes,
after I got home from a basketball tournament, and I
was like, I think that's a little too soon and
we're gonna need a little more time because I get
my lashes done like I got I have.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Let me tell you, I'm the book of excuses. Okay,
people bear with me. Pray for me, y'all. Pray for me, yes, yes,
pray for me in these streets anyway. Okay. So my
reasonably shady moment is, you know, I have met a
couple of new ladies lately, and one of them I
reached out to because I felt like, you know, she
(21:35):
could be a cool girlfriend and we could kind of
keep key together or whatever. And I sent her a
little text message and I was like, Hey, why don't
we hang out for drinks? Right? And she responds back
and says, mmmm, well, you're gonna need to go on
my assistant and have you penciled into my schedule?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Who does that?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Now? That's not reasonably, that's just shady. That's shady shady. Yes,
that's all the way whack shady. That's right. Yeah, but
but it falls under this is what happened to me
in my week, and I just want to share that
with y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So that should be like, okay, well kick rocks and
let's keep it moving.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Kick rocks, keep it moving because I have friends that
I can have drinks with, right, I don't need any
new friends. Yeah, and that what Drake said, I don't
know no new friends. That's Drake or who said that?
Was that little baby or dub baby. I can't tell
them apart it was Drake. Okay, no new friends, all right? Anyway,
moving on, So we would like to share some hour
(22:37):
or I would like robbing to be honest, because I've
known Robin for a while, so I know her past, right,
and we're seasoned women, right, we've come a long way,
a little more seasoned than me. Okay, So anyway, and
I feel like there's a big difference between like who
we were as children growing up. And I can identify
(22:59):
with this because kids are teenagers now, they a little
bit of not not off the chain, but you know,
they do things that make me wonder, how will you
grow up and what will you be? Right? That's scary,
It's extremely scary. So I would like for us to
give a little tidbit into our past, robin so people
can really understand us.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Okay, well, I'm happy to share my past. Okay, so
you know, and I think this is just great, This
is just we're all going to be friends here. Hopefully
you all will be tuning in for the podcast, you
know every week, yes, every episode, and so you're going
to get to know more and more and more about us.
So where what better place than to start with our
childhood or you know, how we became who we are today.
(23:40):
So I grew up with two professional parents. My father
is a dentist. My mother was a professor at Morgan
State University and then also an entrepreneur. We lived a
very upper middle class, bougie black people life. And when
(24:00):
I say bougie, I mean we were in you know,
Jack and jail my mother is in a sorority, my
father's in a fraternity. You know, I am in a
sorority as well. I guess we should just name. I mean,
I don't, I don't have to protect the name. So
my mother is a Delta, my father is a Kappa,
and you know, they both went to HBCUs. They're very
(24:22):
like social in the city of Baltimore, very well known.
It just you know, because Baltimore is a small town
and you know, years ago wasn't that many professional black
people in the city of Baltimore. There weren't that many
black dentists in Baltimore. Just whatever it is. So because
of that, my parents were very I don't want to
call them bougie though, because they're like they were like
(24:43):
laid back bougie people, like down to earth boogie people.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yes, I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And you know, we're all in the social organizations that
are more exclusive and hard to get into. So that
was kind of the life that I lived. I went
to a private school, a very prestigious and expensive private
school from ninth through twelve, and you know, I had
a car as soon as I turned sixteen, like all
that stuff. Lived a good life and oh mm hmm.
(25:12):
I was so smart that by the age of three
I was reading and so they put me in school
a year early. Okay, So I was like my parents'
golden child because I was so smart and I was
so well behaved, and I was and my brother was
a terror. My brother's three years older than me, and
my brother was like the worst child ever. Yes, I
(25:35):
said that he was. You could tell him.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I said that too.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
He was the worst, Like he was a nightmare. He
was wild. I think, like you know, they I don't know.
He just there was just so many issues with my
brother that when I came along, my parents were like
especially my mom, she was like, oh my God, thank you.
I think God was like, you need a break because
that son of yours is a terror. So I was
the perfect child.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yes, I know this is going downhill.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
So yes, Somewhere along the way I met some people
who weren't the perfect children, and I succumed a peer
pressure in like seventh grade.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And what happened robbing in seventh grade.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
In seventh grade, I was smoking cigarettes and running the streets,
like running up and down the you know, the literal
streets of my.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Neighborhood and smoking cigarettes in seventh grade, so you would
chain smoking like an old lady.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, I mean we were like hiding behind the bushes
smoking cigarettes. Then we would go and like break the
Mercedes emblems off of people's way ladies cars.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
You are a vandal.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
You were randomize, yes, So I'm like, I'm sorry if
you noticed one day that your Mercedes emblem was gone
from the hood of your car. It was me what
I was taking a can of soda. This is like
a federal offense.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I think the Statue of Limitations statue. Yeah, it's over, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I was taking a can of soda and pouring it
in the mailbox, like blue mailbox that you like put
your mail in, Like people like, oh I gotta pay
my bills, let me drop it in this blue mailbox.
So you are and take a can of soda and
pour it in the mailbox.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So people have pepsi mail cold mail because of Robbins.
This is horrible. I thought I was bad. No, you
take the cake, honey.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So that was seventh grade. So then ain't God forbid?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
You get the eighth grass no better?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And all the while my parents think I'm perfect.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh they had they were none the wiser. They were
none the wiser, Like, how did they not smell that
cigarette smoke on me? Maybe they were in denial, gladys girl,
you couldn't smell robins.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Do you know? Like I'm to this day, I'm like,
I don't want to talk about this, and my brother
brings up this shit and I'm can we curse here? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
She'd we can cursey it?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Okay, m hm, because I have a potty mouth. My
brother bring this stuff up as if it's like the
funniest thing on earth, and I'm like, no, don't talk
about it. So anyway, okay, okay, eighth grade, I am
drinking mad dog what twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
In eighth grade and you didn't even get to high
school yet? No, no, I didn't get to high school yet.
So you was a cigarette drunk and I was smoking
weed and you were smoking with Robbing Dixon in eighth grade.
Eighth grade, Like, that's really really young, Like because eighth
grade you're what fourth to twelve, you're thirteen.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
You I'm a year younger than everyone else.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
So you're twelve.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I started school a year early.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Okay, So if my children were right now, because you know,
the twins or fourteen if they were smoking weed, I
would be like livid.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I would beat their ass for you. Yes, okay, Like,
and my and my son Corey just turned thirteen yesterday,
and I'm not imagine him being around anyone doing that.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
So do I need to keep you away from my kids?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Are you a bad influence? Robin?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
No. The story there's like a there's a is there
a light at the end of the time?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
A light at the end? Where's the light it's coming?
I mean, it gets a little bad, and then it
gets when.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
When was sex involved?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Ninth grade?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Robin Dixon cannot come around my kids. I'm here to
tell y'all she's got some bad values.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
But all the.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
While, I'm like, Okay, I know I'm doing I'm being
really bad, and I hope I don't get in trouble.
I hope my parents don't find out. I don't know
how the fuck I got away with this stuff. I
just don't neither do I. So ninth grade came, and
this is where the turning point happened.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, because at this point you're like, uh, what do
you call it? A delinquent? You're a juvenile delinquent?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Right? I could have been in Julie. Okay, So, and
this is all because I had a friend that was
my best friend, and she didn't have supervision like her
parents are buried lean, but you did. And her parents
smoked cigarettes too, so it's like if we were smoking
in the basement, they weren't going to be able to
even tell, right. So I spent a lot of time
(30:13):
in her house and got into all types of trouble.
So ninth grade something a light bulb went off in
my father's head.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Thank you, Jesus, because you've been running around town killing
people's Mercedes fins, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
And I was at my friend's house and we were
running the neighborhood somehow, I'm trying to remember the story. Oh,
there was a guy I was talking to and he
was four years older than me.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Of course he was.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
He was probably because of course the fourteen year old
boys weren't you know, they weren't doing it?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
And was this were you even of age? No, you
were not, and he was. This was called rape, it
sure was right. Clearly, you can never talk to my
kids again.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I can speak from experience. Okay, what not to do?
I am the example of what not to do. But
what happened was so fourteen, hanging out with my friend
and her boyfriend who and they had been like having
sex for two years, you know. And then and then
this guy that was a senior in high school, and
we drank mad Dog, we smoked weed, and all I
(31:22):
remember is I was in the back of the car
getting laid.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Getting what's laid me? You were having sex? Yeah, okay,
I'm sorry, Okay, yes, okay. And then what happened, Yes,
this is getting good.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
So that happened, and then something, it's something in my
father's head, like a light bulb went off, and he
was like he started looking for me, like I was
at my friend's house, and he literally drove to their
house and was like, where's Robin, Like something's not right?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh? How long did it take for your father figure out?
How much are right? Three years?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
No, probably three years, I guess, So yeah, I think
he always I think it was one of those where
like they knew that my friend probably wasn't the best influence,
but I would always be like, but that's my friend.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I want to go to her house, right please?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
And we spent like all like a lot of time together.
She was Jewish, I can recite Hebrew prayers I've been
you know what I mean. It was just like I
spent that much time that I was at like Rashashana
dinner with her and all that type of stuff. So
but something my parents would always try to like, no,
we don't want you to go over there, because I
think they knew that it just we were not supervised, right,
(32:25):
So for whatever reason, that night he drove over there,
came and got me, and I'm drunk as a skunk,
and literally it was like for me, that was like
the worst thing imaginable for me, for my parents to
see that I was drunk like that, right, and to
(32:48):
disappoint them like that that I literally didn't drink again,
like you know what I mean, like after that experience, right, Well,
I don't say I didn't drink again because clearly because
you were drunk last week with me, moms, Okay, I
won't say again. I probably didn't pick back like by
partying up until like senior year in high school, Okay,
but I pull I wasn't. I stopped hanging out with
(33:09):
my friend great and do you know by senior year
in high school, she was addicted to heroin. Mm hmmm,
like she had to go scary.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Who you telling?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I mean, when I think about it, I'm like, oh
my god, that could have been me. Even though I
felt like I was a little I have, like, you know,
more willpower than that I had, Like I was always one.
Like you know, when when you were in like drug
did you have dair class? What's it called dare? Yes? Okay,
when I was in dair class and they showed you
the pictures.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
When they tried to scare you, well it scared me great, right,
So I didn't think I was going to go that far.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
But the fact that my friend that I hung out
with every weekend was addicted to heroin by the time
she was in twelfth grade, Like, I just think about,
like what could have been.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
So clearly we love your father because he got you
on the street and narrow. He saved me, He saved you.
But back then, back then, you weren't. You were not
thinking about your future and what you were going to
do and who you were going to be.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
No, who's doing that in ninth grade?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well my children do that?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Oh wow, yes, Oh they're gonna be okay. Oh they
are like ahead of the curve, they are, Yes, Okay,
that's amazing, because no, I'll be honest, I'm forty one.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I still don't know what I want to be.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
And that we're gonna save for another episode of People.
Robin's forty one and she has no clue what she
wants to do with her life. Yes, that's because I
feel like that's a lot of people and people can
relate to that.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Oh, absolutely, yes, absolutely. I mean I just feel like, yes,
how many times in college like you. I mean, I
feel like all of my friends in college are like
I don't know what I gonna do unless you're that
one friend that's like I'm going to be a doctor.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
And I'm like, good for you, bitch, I'm so.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Happy that you figured that out.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
This is true.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
But anyway, Yeah, so that story, that experience like probably
saved my life. Yeah you know what I mean, It
probably really saved me from just being like just totally
jacked up and seeing my parents so disappointed, like literally
scared me to the point where I was like, Okay,
I don't want to do that again. Great, And you know,
I still was a good student, Like you know, I
finished off, was a good student. I was. I went
(35:24):
to college, yeah, you know, graduated all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
You met wan, you had some kids, Yes, and you
met a friend named Joseelle Boo. We're here today, so
just out. Yes, Well, mine is like Cinderella in comparison
New Yors. Mine is very PG rated. I was not
vandalizing any cars in the streets. I think I had
(35:48):
a wild moment. Let me see, probably high school going
into college, and I remember like one of the nights
I was like, I can't do this anymore. I was like,
I was turned so in college. I happened to turn
twenty one. Being in college twenty one is a very
big difference from Robins fourteen years old. Okay for the record,
(36:12):
but anyway, and I was enjoying myself, living my life
and doing my thing. I'm in college and the guys
I was hanging out with they was like, Youselle, you
turning twenty one. You have to take twenty one shots
h And I was like, okay, that sounds good to make.
It's like so I was down. I was like ready
for the challenge. And I don't know where in the
(36:34):
twenty one I literally have no idea about the rest
of the night, but I can promise you I tried
to get there because it was a challenge and I.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Wanted our lucky your life.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I know, I wanted to I wanted to beat the challenge.
And I remember saying, I don't think I'm gonna make
it y'all. Probably around shot ten, I was like, I
don't think I'm gonna make it y'all.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Some cheap ass liquor too.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
It was probably like a mad dog. Oh my god,
but it was like shots So anyway, Oh.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I don't want to cut you off. Go ahead, but
you said mad dog. So when my parents when when
I got caught being pissy drug and my parents were like,
what were you thinking? Why are you doing? I was like, well,
it says that it's wine, and I didn't think that
wine was bad.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
So she's just lying on top of line, on top
of line.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Try and then oh my god, this is like the
blink the victim. I was trying to victimize myself. So
then they're all like mad at me, and my brother's like,
oh that's me. I was like, I want to kill myself.
I've got to kill myself. That was like to get
them to like leave back off, Yeah, leave me alone.
I'm going to kill myself. So yeah, so at least you.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Were a smart juvenile to language.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yes, I like that.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yes, So back to a little bit of a backstory.
I am the youngest of three kids, so by the
time I was coming up, and we're all kind of
like eighteen months apart. So by time I got like,
you know, in my high school years or whatever, my parents,
like I think, were tired and they didn't feel like
dealing with me, and they didn't care what I did.
So I did get away with a lot, you know,
(38:00):
maybe sneaking out the house couple of times, things like that,
but no, nothing like too traumatic. But yes, when I
was trying to take my twenty one shots on my
twenty first birthday, I realize I can't do this. No,
and I feel crazy. And I felt crazy for like weeks,
like I felt sick, I felt like delirious. I felt
like God was trying to tell me something. I don't
(38:22):
know what he was trying to tell me, but he
was just like, bitch, you don't need to be drinking
all this, Like that was what I was getting from God.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You are lucky you are alive. Yeah, I mean cause
and not like I guess to be serious now, like
we do hear stories of people in college, Yeah, who
die from alcohol overdose.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Right, But whoever was giving me the challenge? I know
who they are to this day. Why did y'all.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Do that to me?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Like, right, that wasn't nice, That wasn't a good challenge.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
That was the worst, and how they feel their daughter? Right?
Speaker 1 (38:51):
And I was so crazy. I just was like, okay,
I'll do it right. Who agrees to this?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Right? Okay, so stupid Carloge students?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Right? And then you know, after I graduated from college,
and I still I didn't know what I wanted to
do either. I didn't know you know, where I wanted
to land. I do know that I did want to
like plan things. I want to be like an event planner,
wedding plan or something like that. And I did do
that for a little while for the NAACP where I
met Jamal got married.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
So I didn't planning background as well.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Okay, all right, and Mayor Royn got you know, things
and comings. But never in a million years if somebody
said you're going to be in a reality television show
and you're going to be a housewife and you're gonna
be on Bravo, I would be like hell no, not
only no, but I don't want.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
To do that, right. It wasn't a desire and not
some people want to be on TV.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Right, Yeah, I had no desire. I was living my
life and enjoying myself prior to our casting director calling
me and saying this is what you're gonna do? Right
and then and then I actually talked to When you
and I talked about it, you were like to say,
you we only live once, Like why not? And where where?
Why not? And who knows if we'll make it past
season one? Right? We on season six?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I didn't eve think season one was going to make
the light of day.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Yes, we're on season three, just for the for the
for the people in the in the cheap seats in
the back were on season three and Robin's like, are
we still on this show?
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Right? Is this is this real?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Like, yeah, Robin is ceasing three? Yes. Robin didn't get
it for a very long time that we were on TV.
Like she'd be like confused, Like we'd be walking down
the street, people screaming our name. She's like, who are
they talking to? They talking to us, Robin, We're on TV.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I actually experienced that this past weekend at a basketball tournament. Yeah,
Like there's this lady like waving crazy and I'm like
looking behind me, I'm like what she oh she sees someone,
Oh you're waving at me. Hi.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Yes, I will never forget. And actually this was actually
season one, so it was a little weird. So this
could this could be believable. I mean, you could, you know,
not be this naive. We were in Bethany Beach and
because we went there for Ashley's that was our trip.
That was our trip Bethany and they got win that
a reality show was filming and Bethany Beach, so we
(41:05):
were like, i think going to the boardwalk or whatever,
and it was a mob of people just like waiting
for us to get off the bus. And Robin was like,
holy shit, who are those people? Why are they here?
What are they doing here? It's like robbing they're here
for us And she was like what.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Do you mean. I'm like no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
I was like, yes, they see camera crews and they're
running now. At the time, they.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Nobody knew that Beyonce was getting off the bus though,
and Beyonce did.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
It was me and you, I'm just saying, but anyway,
so we get off the bus, and they didn't know
who we were. But like after that, it's like you
know it is. This ride has been a blessing, I'll
say for myself, and I think I can speak both
for the both of us. You know, it's ups and downs,
there's highs and lows, but we have been able to
(41:50):
showcase things that we do love and our family. I'm
proud of my family. I'm proud of the mom that
I am, and I feel like that is a blessing.
And if anybody can, especially your story, Robin, because you're
so relatable, if anybody can learn from our lives, I
think the whole thing is worth it.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Right absolutely. One of the biggest blessings for me is
when I receive feedback and comments from people who are like,
you have helped me. Yeah, you know you, I've you know,
I'm not in a good place, but I watch the
show and either it's for comic relief or it's because
they look at our stories and say, whoa I can
relate to that. I love how you overcame. Thank you
(42:31):
for sharing. And so for me, the best part is
just affecting other people's lives that I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
And let me tell you it's not easy. No, it's
not easy. No, I don't recommend reality television for anybody
who does not have thick skin. When I say thick skin,
like elephant skin.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Right right. Fortunately, and that's the thing about both of us. Yeah,
we don't care like you know, all of the scrutiny
we received. I mean, sometimes it is a little jarring
when we can receive so much negativity, But we know
who we are, and we have the people in our
lives that are important to us, and we know that
love us, and they're not going to change for us,
(43:10):
and we're not going to change for them. So fortunately,
I've been able to maintain friendships with all of my
friends that I've been friends with before the show, and
they don't give a damn about the show, you know
what I mean. And so I can have good girl
time with my friends and not talk about the show
and just feel like myself. And so, yes, it's stressful.
It's hard. Filming is hard, Watching the show is hard.
(43:31):
The you know, scrutiny is hard. But overall, the blessing
has been just like way more than the negativity.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Right right, So people, we're about to wrap up this
first episode that was so fat. I know, but we
have a couple takes from the episode. Okay, so take
number one for me is Robin Muss. You've not delinquent.
But she has come so far people, Okay, she has.
I mean, listen, she didn't come from vandalizing Mercedes Benz
(44:02):
to being an owner of Embellished and her hats are
selling I have on one right now. Her hats are
selling like hot cakes, honey cakes. So that's amazing. Do
you have a take from this show?
Speaker 2 (44:13):
I do. I would say thank God that Giselle did
not overdose and she's here because won do it? Yes,
because we wouldn't be here. We would not be on
season six of The Real Housewives of Potoma.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
We would not. We would not. And you know what,
more importantly, like the power of friendship, Like I'm so
happy that we're friends and we have a sisterhood that is.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Unbreakable, absolutely absolutely, yeah, And that is so valuable. And
when you have that friendship, everyone just nurture it. Yes.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Yes, Now, at the end of every episode, guys, we're
going to be giving you our reasonable person of the
day or the week or the year, and our shady
person of the day, the week, or the year. So
who's reasonable these days?
Speaker 2 (44:59):
I mean, this is our first podcast, ye, and we
just have to pay homage homage homage. Both the age
is silent, right, it's it's hama homage homage. I promise
I went to private school. Yeah, we have to just
give doctor Fauci. Yes, yes, yes, yes, pribes. I don't
(45:24):
care if you believe the pandemic is a hoax. We
have been through hell and doctor Fauci has remained steady, steadfast,
factual yep. And I mean, for the most part, it's crazy,
like they would say, like, oh, I predict that in
three months the numbers are going to skyrocket, and we're
(45:47):
sitting there like, oh whatever, And then come three months
and the number of skyrocket. So like I feel like
everything that they said would happen happens.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Yes, So he's a reasonable person. He is our reasonable person.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
And we got to give it up to our new president,
Joe Biden, just for the sake of thank you for
being here. Yes, thank you. One.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
If I find myself at this point in a reasonable way,
not having to stalk CNN anymore to find out the
bad news, I can actually go to bed feeling kind
of safe and secure. About the world.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
I knew that life was crazy when I would literally
be listening to CNN in my car. Yeah, Like I
would be driving and turn the scene in and it
was like almost like comforting to hear those voices that
I've been listening to, like all day, all night. Yeah.
And now I don't have to do that.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Yes, I mean you can if you want to, but
I feel like I don't want to start the rating.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
I'm sorry, don't if y'all ratings go down. It's not
our fault. No, it's not our fault. Yes. So it's
because the world is a little bit better.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
Yes, and we're feeling a little bit more secure about
our leadership. And then now we have our shady person
of the year and ooh, she been shady, shady, shady,
shady hoo, this thing been shady. And I don't even
like to say her name because I just want her
to go away, but that she needs to go sister girl,
COVID girl, you are shady. Coronavirus better known as coronavirus,
(47:11):
Miss coronavirus. You so shady. Ooh you shady, and I'm
a need for you to leave, Okay, So get your
shady tail up. Out of here. We are done with you.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
She has outworn her welcome, Yes she has, she's never
welcome never, no no.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
So we've had we've had enough of you. We're done.
And I think our reasonably shady combination is a good
one because I think Bauci and Biden can get rid
of are shady. Oh, absolutely, miss correct.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
We are going to be back to normal one day
one day.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Soon, one day soon, one day soon. So I think
I think that's it for today. That's it.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
I mean, I think we should tell people thank you
number one for listening to us. Yes, and I hope
you continue to listen to us because we have a
whole lot of exciting topics to talk about. Yes, you
can expect to hear, you know, just topics about relationships
and business and friendships and beauty and you know, current
events we're going to tackle. Yes, And so I'm sorry,
(48:09):
and I mean, and it's going to be fun and
funny and you're going to feel like you're talking to
your girlfriends. Oh. And then you know, at some point
we're going to have advice segments, so if you have some,
if you need your advice from me or Geselle, I mean,
I don't know who you want advice from me, we'll
both give it to you.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Yes, yes, but next our next podcast, we believe it's
going to be about breaking up or making up, all
about relationships and that animal that we call love. So
you don't want to miss that. Yes, So until then,
holla back Reasonably Shady.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
Which one are you going to be this week?
Speaker 4 (48:49):

Welcome to Reasonably Shady. This is Gaselle Brian here, and
I am here with hello everyone.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
My name is Robin Dixon.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yes, this is our Reasonably Shady podcast. This is our
first podcast. Guys. We don't know what the hell we're doing,
but just bear with us because we're going to figure
it out and by the time we're like on episode
I don't know, twenty eight will be great. So we
do kind of want to tell people how we met, right, well.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I think we should start off with just why are
we Why is this podcast called reasonably Shady?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
That's very important. So to know us is to know
that Robin is extremely reasonable. She's like practical, She's always
like Switzerland. She always tries to see the good in people.
And I'm just shady.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, Yes, So Gizelle's first reaction to something is a
shady one, and then.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I think about it, I process it, and then I
try to be like Robin, which is very reasonable, but hmmm,
doesn't really work. I just stay on the shady side.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, you sure do, Yes, I mean, but sometimes you
don't take that much convincing. I have to, like, you know,
we'll have a private conversation. I'll say well, look at
it this way. Sometimes I get through to you. Yes, yes,
but yes, so welcome to reasonably shady where you will
get a lot of reason and a lot of shade.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yes, absolutely, Now I can say that. One hundred years ago,
I moved to Baltimore, I got married, and me and
my husband at the time went to the car wash.
And who did I see but this beautiful woman. And
I was like, oh my gosh, she really pretty. She
kind of looked like me, you know what I'm saying, And.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
That's why she was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yes, that's why she was beautiful. But no, I saw
her and I was like, Wow, she's really really beautiful,
and I thought to myself, I wonder who that is.
Then years later I was at a party, lo and
behold this beautiful woman was introduced to me. Yes by
our friend Cherisa.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yes, yes, so Charis invited us both to a charity event,
one of the biggest, you know, one of the biggest
charity events in the city of DC. All the women
look forward to it. Everyone gets pissy drunk. So everyone
was pissy drunk at this charity event except for us. Maybe, yeah,
probably like a little bit. I was probably partaking. We
ended up at the same table, sitting right next to
(02:24):
each other.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yes, So once I realized who she was, She's Robin Dixon.
It dawned upon me because when I moved to Baltimore,
Robin is from Baltimore that everybody kept asking me was
I related to Robin Dixon? And I was like, I
don't know, no, Robin Dixon, and who the hell is
Robin Dixon and Robin Dixon what? So then I was like,
holy shit, you the girl everybody's been asking me about.
(02:45):
And she's beautiful, so I don't mind being related to her.
We're not related, but I mean, you know, okay, I'll
take that exactly. So we instantly became besties and like
the rest is history.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
But I feel like it took like it was like
we were sitting next to each other and we instantly
were being reasonably shady. I probably was being shady too, though,
absolutely we've been shady shady, yes, And we were just
you know, observing the people in the party, you know,
making little comments about what was going on, yes, and
having a good time.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And it probably took a minute really for you to realize, oh,
you're the girl from Baltimore that everyone thinks.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yes, my cousins. Right. It did take a minute, but
once I figured it out, I was like cool, Like,
at least it was somebody that I thought was cool
as opposed to an asshole, right, And.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You know, it's kind of weird. It's like, even though
you didn't know me, just figuring out that there was
some sort of connection and you knew people that knew me,
it was like, okay, all right, she's really cool. And
then I realized that she was the woman on the
side of the metro bus that I would see.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I hate robbing right now, Okay, I hate robbing because
once upon a time I was on metro buses as
a billboard. Not because I'm wanted for like a crime
or something.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well no, no, no, you weren't on the bus for
a crime, but you were like laying on top of
your then husband Jamal, like come to our church.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yes, okay, they were very cute. It was it was
very cute.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And I was like, look, are you hated the picture?
I need I have to find a picture of these busses.
I mean I would literally be like, oh, who's that
woman on the side of the bus.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
She's pretty, Like who are they Robin is hating on
my task. Yes she is.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
No, I'm not like it was. So we were like instantly,
I was like, oh, that's the woman outside of the
bus and Jazelle was like, oh that's the woman that
everyone thinks it's my cousin. Yes, and we were, you know,
both silly, goofy, having fun, laughing, instantly hit it off.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes, yes, And then years later we got to call
about a show called The Row Housewives Potomac and we've
rocked that out for I don't know, several seasons. So
it helps solidify I mean, we were already besties before then,
but it really helped with our relationship. And we've had
each other's back on the show. They've been trying to
test apart, but we have had each other's back, and
(05:06):
I like, totally appreciate that. By the way, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh, I mean that's what real friends too.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Absolutely, So can we talk about their Housewives of Potoma? Yes,
how we got here so Jizelle will tell you. So.
When they first started casting for a show for Bravo,
you know, they say, oh, they're looking for an ensemble
cast of women in the in the DC area, and
Jezelle had already been talking to a casting director, and
Sureisa had already been talking to the same casting director.
(05:35):
And they said, well, call Robin because you know, she's
our friend. She'd be great. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And I want to say I was already in. They
liked me.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yes, yeah, she was already in. So the casting director
calls and so they're both like, Rob when you talk
to the casting director, I'm like, for what, Like, I mean,
I don't got nothing going on. I was going through
like I was. My life was in shambles. I will
be honest about that. You know. Financially we were in
a bad my relationship was in a bad place, all
that type of stuff. I think I was divorced by
(06:04):
the Yeah, I was, Yes, you were definitely divorced. So
I was like, I'll talk to him, but whatever. I
talked to him, and my first lead, you know, I'm like,
not in my opinion, not auditioning for a show. I'm
having a conversation. So my first you know line with him,
he was like, you know, oh, tell me about yourself.
I was like, well, I don't live that life.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
That's bad. I should have prepped Robin and I did.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I'm like, I'll be honest, I'm not living that life.
And so he called either Gazelle or the reason was like,
I hate her.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay, So I'm going to give the story how it
really happened. So I was in, I was good to go,
and they were like, do you have any friends and
I was like, yes, Robin, and you're gonna call her
and she's gonna be amazing. And so they called this
person that I had hyped up like I was a
hype woman. I was like, she's amazing, and then Robin
is on the phone like not giving a shit. So
the guy immediately called me back and was like I
(06:54):
hate her and she's out, and I was like, oh,
hell no, call her back, call her back, call her back.
So it took Robin a minute to be nice to
casting and so finally, you know, they obviously loved her
in the rest of.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
The rest is history. Yeah, every day, I'm still like,
how did I get on this show?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Because I told him called Robin back, right.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But it's been fun. It's been a journey, and most
of you who watch the show have seen our relationship,
and you know, I think the name of our podcast
reasonably shady, is it? You probably think it fits us?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes, yes, So how do we get to this podcast?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
We got to talk about the pandemn demic, okay, because
that is what it is. And like I think, during
the beginning of the pandemic, we decided for whatever reason
to have an Instagram Live together because we were bored. Yes, shitless,
we were bored.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We missed each other, yes.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yes, and so we did that.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And we don't get on Instagram a lot, like we're not,
you know, addicted to social media. So that was kind
of like the first time in a really long time
we had gotten on Instagram Live together.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah. Did you even have lashes at that point? Did
you have some lashes on it? Because I think I
looked real crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You might have had a turbine on my head or something.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You had a term. I have like my hair like
on a ponytail top of my head.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I have lashes. The pandemic hit, okay, can we talk
about like the pandemic hit? And I was like, oh, yes,
I mean I was like kind of loving it at
first because I was like, oh, I don't have to
get my hair done, I don't have to get my
lashes done. I don't have to put on clothes. I
don't have to And.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's a dream for Robin. For everyone to know, that
is Robin's dream in life, to never have to do
any of those things anything anything.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I didn't have to get my nails done. I let
my nails fall off. I still haven't put them back.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
On, right.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
What else.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You had on? Sweatpants every day?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Pants? Every day? I was drinking wine at ten am
and eating chocolate cake at four am.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Wait wait, I remember Robit Cobby and she was like,
just hell, oh my god. It was midnight and I
had I just polished off an ice cream bar. I
can't do it anymore. And I was like, back away
from the refrigerator, yeack away.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It was hard. I gained like a good fourteen pounds
during the pandemic. Yeah, during that, like that first two
months of the pandemic, I gained fourteen pounds for sure.
And then a light switch went off and I was like,
I hate food. I don't want to Yes, I was like,
I don't want to eat, I don't want anything. So
(09:29):
now can like and this has been going on till
this day. I've only had a bar. It's everyone, It's
eight thirty at night PM and I've had one bar,
like a protein bar.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay, but rob when we can eat. I mean we
didn't have to go that far, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But something happened. I mean I still eat, but it's
like I'm not hungry.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I went from eating all day, right all night, staying
up until like four in the morning and just pigging
out to not eating, Like so.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You're like a bear and hibernation. Yes you have stored
up fat and then yes, yeah, but right so I decided,
Like for me, it was kind of similar, like one
day I woke up and I was like, I'm not
cooking anymore. And I have children, and I was like,
I don't care if they starve because there's gonna be
no food being cooked up in this home. My god,
(10:20):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yes, because at first we were cooking all day, three
times a day. Now I am proud to say I
am like a Platinum plus tier member of Chick fil A,
Like I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I can't, I can't because I'm right behind you.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yes, Ever, the highest reward level is I'm that I
redeem my rewards for free cookies for a free chicken sandwich, Like.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
It's just on an app. I gotta get on the app.
What I'm not on the app? You're not on the
What am I missing?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You're missing free chicken sandwich and freeze nuggets and free okie.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay, I'm doing it now, I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm getting on a scott damn app. All right, you
are they.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Delivering to you?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So what I do is I drive up to the
mall where the Chick fil a is, I give my
kids my card and I sit in the car and
they go in there and get the food and then
come out. So I need to get a app.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
What I do is I opened the app and I
hit repeat last Order and you know, sin and like,
yes the app. I want.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I want my rewards. I have already told people I
am the cheapest richest woman you will meet. Okay, I
want my goddamn rewards. Okay, all right, will we got sidetracked, Robin, So.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
No, I know, but I feel like all of that,
like it's hard to talk about a pandemic and not
talk about all the shit that we want.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, that's true. And it was literally it was a
lot because Robin, you and I were sending each other menus.
I mean not menus. We were sending each other recipes
of different food that we could cook, and none of
it was like fat free. None of it was like
the skinny portion. This was all like food food looking good, yes, yes,
with BUTTA. So that had to stop. That stopped. That
(12:12):
was horrible. But I feel like, you know, clearly we're
coming out of the pandemic and I feel better about
my life.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh, me too, absolutely, And spring is sprung. Yes, that
always helps. So it was a really rough patch for
me just this past like you know, fall, winter, and
now that spring is here, it's like, okay, spring is here.
We have a vaccine, Yes, we have you know, I
think we're we've just become more accustomed to life as
it is. Although I feel like we are getting better
(12:41):
and I'm feeling better about life. I am.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'm feeling really good. And you know, we're in the
state of Maryland, and the State of Maryland is doing
great with their numbers, and that's making me feel like,
you know, there's there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It is, absolutely but I'm still very cautious. Yes, you know,
I'm not out and about. I'm not you know, trying
to be a big gatherings. I'm not you know, when.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm my god, do you see all these spring breakers
spring Breakers have lost their damn mine?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
It is something called peachry dish of germs and it
makes me my stomach cart.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It's like they just like release them from jail and
they just like, but you know what, I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna throw shade because when I get into
a club, I'm acting like I'm twenty five. Yes, I
can't wait until that I'm dropping like it's high. I
mean right, and I don't want to go to the club.
But when that time, I don't want to go, but
I'm going, Yes, yes, we're gonna have a good old time.
So my I will say, my outlet has been and
(13:31):
we still have to get back to this how this podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yes, we're getting there. We're getting there, young us. This
is reasonably shady. Bear with us.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, this is why we're here with you because we
have so much to talk about, and we go we
you know, we get on the sidetracked and come right back.
But my outlet has been basketball tournaments. M So we
have you know, wanna and I or I have a
youth basketball team that Wan coaches.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Wan is her husband fiance, yes, husband.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yes, and so our son Corey plays on the team.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Robin is the is a boy mom. I'm a girl mom.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I know, yes, so boy mom all day.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So we have been traveling every other weekend to play
in basketball tournaments. The kids playing mass like. It's all
very socially distanced all that, but in the nighttime the
parents turn all the way up. I mean, we're literally.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Basketball parent turnout.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Oh yes, wow. We are literally at the games with hangovers.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Because that's a game.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yes, we are turning up. And literally one weekend my
son was telling me stuff that I said and I
did and I don't remember. So yes, those have been
my releases.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
That's called bad mom, just in case y'all don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I mean, but MoMA gotta be happy.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Mommy gotta be happy.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
We got to be happy. So anyway, that's you know, No,
I haven't been in the club, but we have created
our own little club. In the residence in Okay or.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Not to turn up into residence in is a turnout.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
The Wyndham Garden, This.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Is a turnout.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
We get the ball, we get the conference.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Are you drinking dog? Twenty twenty. What is at the bar?
Tell me what's at the ball?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
We have a stock bar. We have to kill it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
We got what kind of tequila? Because there's different kinds
stuff cosamikos. Okay, this is a horrible turnout. Okay, great goose.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, all right, that's my drink anyway. So okay, back
to where we were talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's such been your outlet for the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
That has been my outlet over the past few months.
Like at first, I was very like, I'm not even
a house. I'm not going anywhere. And now it's like, okay,
these kids need to get on the basketball court and
I need to leave the house. Okay, that is I
like an outlet.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Getting back to how we are here at this podcast,
people robbing went on a rant. We like we said,
we we did an Instagram live together. We did want
our too, maybe just one I can't remember. And the
feedback that we were getting or the comments were that, oh,
you know, Jesselle Robin, y'all should have a green eye bandage,
(16:09):
y'all should have a podcast, right, And I think.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's because when we're talking to one another, the people
who are listening or watching they feel like they're like
our girlfriends too, or our friends too, Like they're right
there in the room with us, and they're like, you know,
they're getting it. They're keicky in with us, Like we're
not just like talking, you know, just about the show,
and like we're literally just laughing, joking, having fun. And
(16:34):
I think people people really responded to that, like they
were messaging me, yes, messaging both of us, like, you
guys need a podcast. You guys need a podcast, right,
And so I Robin told me I put it OUTGA
one day, Yeah, Robin called me and said, she said,
you know, people were giving that kind of feedback.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I put it out into the universe. In other words,
I call my manager and I told her to make
it happen. And here we are today. We are on Iehead,
we are on the Black Effect platform. Thank you Black Effect.
We love y'all. And you know, I feel like this
is a great way, speaking of outlets of us to
like share our stories. We've been through personally a lot.
(17:15):
You know, I'm divorced, I got three kids. Robin is
not really divorced, kind of not really. She's okay, fine,
she's married, she has two kids, and we're both entrepreneurs.
We both believe in success. We try to get our
hustle on. We try to teach our kids to be
the best people that they can be. And I feel like,
(17:37):
you know, there's a lot of people out there that
are striving for greatness. So that is what we are
going to try to bring you all week by week.
But first, because we are reasonably shady, we'd like to
give y'all individually our reasonably shady moment of the week. Robin,
(17:57):
would you like to go first?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Okay? I will go first. So today I had an
appointment to get corn rows.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay, explain that. Because it's that different from loose locks,
lemon locks. I need an explation because I don't know
nothing about these braids.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well me neither. That's the problem. So you know, I
don't know a whole munch about hair. I just typically
I go to my hairstyles and I say, do my hair,
thank you. So I don't really know the terminology for
corn rows or braids or whatever it is. So I
just told the girl I want corn roads. I'm going
on a trip I don't want to do with my hair.
I want some corn roads. And she's like, well, what stout.
(18:35):
Do you want? I was like, oh my lord, what
do you mean? So I was like, just I said,
just do something cool, right, I'm thinking because I've gotten
corn roads before. And it literally took like less than
two hours to do. And I had all these appointments,
you know, I had somewhere to be Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yes, call my house to do this podcast podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Ye. Yes. So I was like, okay, my appointments at two,
I'll be out by the latest. I can go home
and you know, eat something for her, you know, see
my kids, make sure they're cool.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Nah. Five and a half hours later, right, I walk out.
First of all, I had to I texted you out
probably like five times. Oh I'm running late. Oh I'm
even later. Oh I'm even later, Like I literally and
it's so crazy. It's like I thought she was almost done,
but she wasn't. It was like, okay, there was like
(19:30):
a patch of hair and I was like, okay, that's
the last one. And it was like oh okay, no,
now it's the last one.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And then it was like, so, oh, here is reasonably
shady you to me because you late or the lady
that did your head to you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'm gonna say me because I did not tell her
I was on a time constraint, okay, you know, like
and it's like once she started doing her thing, it's
too late. You know. I couldn't be like, wait, whoa wall,
wait a minute, this feels like it's taking a little
bit longer, you know, when I got like half my hair.
So they're very cute.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
By the way, Robin looks really cute. For those of
you all cannot see us, she looks very very cute,
and she's a very pretty woman. And that's why we
love her. Even though she was two hours late.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
No, I was two. It's really more like.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Three yeah, no, no three late latest bock. There we go.
There we are just late.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, So I am the shady person because.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
You're okay, all right. So, and just to know us
is to know that Justzelle's always on time. I live
by that. I don't know where that came from in
my life. I'm a virgo. Yes, I'm always on time,
and Robin's always late. So guys, if you all don't
get an episode from us, it's because Robin didn't show up.
She was late.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Oh shit, then no, just call a guest, okay, or
I'll just do it myself.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh no, So okay, anyway, all right, so my good
thing is.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Like you love me? Yes, It's so crazy. I was
like when I was texting her, I was like, I'm
running late. I was like, oh shit, I don't know
what she's gonna says, like okay.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I was like, okay, what was I gonna say? Okay?
Oh god?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Actually, And honestly, we were supposed to do this at
ten am. Yes. And I called her last night, yes,
after I got home from a basketball tournament, and I
was like, I think that's a little too soon and
we're gonna need a little more time because I get
my lashes done like I got I have.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Let me tell you, I'm the book of excuses. Okay,
people bear with me. Pray for me, y'all. Pray for me, yes, yes,
pray for me in these streets anyway. Okay. So my
reasonably shady moment is, you know, I have met a
couple of new ladies lately, and one of them I
reached out to because I felt like, you know, she
(21:35):
could be a cool girlfriend and we could kind of
keep key together or whatever. And I sent her a
little text message and I was like, Hey, why don't
we hang out for drinks? Right? And she responds back
and says, mmmm, well, you're gonna need to go on
my assistant and have you penciled into my schedule?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Who does that?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Now? That's not reasonably, that's just shady. That's shady shady. Yes,
that's all the way whack shady. That's right. Yeah, but
but it falls under this is what happened to me
in my week, and I just want to share that
with y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So that should be like, okay, well kick rocks and
let's keep it moving.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Kick rocks, keep it moving because I have friends that
I can have drinks with, right, I don't need any
new friends. Yeah, and that what Drake said, I don't
know no new friends. That's Drake or who said that?
Was that little baby or dub baby. I can't tell
them apart it was Drake. Okay, no new friends, all right? Anyway,
moving on, So we would like to share some hour
(22:37):
or I would like robbing to be honest, because I've
known Robin for a while, so I know her past, right,
and we're seasoned women, right, we've come a long way,
a little more seasoned than me. Okay, So anyway, and
I feel like there's a big difference between like who
we were as children growing up. And I can identify
(22:59):
with this because kids are teenagers now, they a little
bit of not not off the chain, but you know,
they do things that make me wonder, how will you
grow up and what will you be? Right? That's scary,
It's extremely scary. So I would like for us to
give a little tidbit into our past, robin so people
can really understand us.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Okay, well, I'm happy to share my past. Okay, so
you know, and I think this is just great, This
is just we're all going to be friends here. Hopefully
you all will be tuning in for the podcast, you
know every week, yes, every episode, and so you're going
to get to know more and more and more about us.
So where what better place than to start with our
childhood or you know, how we became who we are today.
(23:40):
So I grew up with two professional parents. My father
is a dentist. My mother was a professor at Morgan
State University and then also an entrepreneur. We lived a
very upper middle class, bougie black people life. And when
(24:00):
I say bougie, I mean we were in you know,
Jack and jail my mother is in a sorority, my
father's in a fraternity. You know, I am in a
sorority as well. I guess we should just name. I mean,
I don't, I don't have to protect the name. So
my mother is a Delta, my father is a Kappa,
and you know, they both went to HBCUs. They're very
(24:22):
like social in the city of Baltimore, very well known.
It just you know, because Baltimore is a small town
and you know, years ago wasn't that many professional black
people in the city of Baltimore. There weren't that many
black dentists in Baltimore. Just whatever it is. So because
of that, my parents were very I don't want to
call them bougie though, because they're like they were like
(24:43):
laid back bougie people, like down to earth boogie people.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yes, I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And you know, we're all in the social organizations that
are more exclusive and hard to get into. So that
was kind of the life that I lived. I went
to a private school, a very prestigious and expensive private
school from ninth through twelve, and you know, I had
a car as soon as I turned sixteen, like all
that stuff. Lived a good life and oh mm hmm.
(25:12):
I was so smart that by the age of three
I was reading and so they put me in school
a year early. Okay, So I was like my parents'
golden child because I was so smart and I was
so well behaved, and I was and my brother was
a terror. My brother's three years older than me, and
my brother was like the worst child ever. Yes, I
(25:35):
said that he was. You could tell him.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I said that too.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
He was the worst, Like he was a nightmare. He
was wild. I think, like you know, they I don't know.
He just there was just so many issues with my
brother that when I came along, my parents were like
especially my mom, she was like, oh my God, thank you.
I think God was like, you need a break because
that son of yours is a terror. So I was
the perfect child.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yes, I know this is going downhill.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
So yes, Somewhere along the way I met some people
who weren't the perfect children, and I succumed a peer
pressure in like seventh grade.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And what happened robbing in seventh grade.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
In seventh grade, I was smoking cigarettes and running the streets,
like running up and down the you know, the literal
streets of my.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Neighborhood and smoking cigarettes in seventh grade, so you would
chain smoking like an old lady.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, I mean we were like hiding behind the bushes
smoking cigarettes. Then we would go and like break the
Mercedes emblems off of people's way ladies cars.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
You are a vandal.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
You were randomize, yes, So I'm like, I'm sorry if
you noticed one day that your Mercedes emblem was gone
from the hood of your car. It was me what
I was taking a can of soda. This is like
a federal offense.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I think the Statue of Limitations statue. Yeah, it's over, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I was taking a can of soda and pouring it
in the mailbox, like blue mailbox that you like put
your mail in, Like people like, oh I gotta pay
my bills, let me drop it in this blue mailbox.
So you are and take a can of soda and
pour it in the mailbox.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So people have pepsi mail cold mail because of Robbins.
This is horrible. I thought I was bad. No, you
take the cake, honey.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So that was seventh grade. So then ain't God forbid?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
You get the eighth grass no better?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And all the while my parents think I'm perfect.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh they had they were none the wiser. They were
none the wiser, Like, how did they not smell that
cigarette smoke on me? Maybe they were in denial, gladys girl,
you couldn't smell robins.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Do you know? Like I'm to this day, I'm like,
I don't want to talk about this, and my brother
brings up this shit and I'm can we curse here? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
She'd we can cursey it?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Okay, m hm, because I have a potty mouth. My
brother bring this stuff up as if it's like the
funniest thing on earth, and I'm like, no, don't talk
about it. So anyway, okay, okay, eighth grade, I am
drinking mad dog what twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
In eighth grade and you didn't even get to high
school yet? No, no, I didn't get to high school yet.
So you was a cigarette drunk and I was smoking
weed and you were smoking with Robbing Dixon in eighth grade.
Eighth grade, Like, that's really really young, Like because eighth
grade you're what fourth to twelve, you're thirteen.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
You I'm a year younger than everyone else.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
So you're twelve.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I started school a year early.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Okay, So if my children were right now, because you know,
the twins or fourteen if they were smoking weed, I
would be like livid.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I would beat their ass for you. Yes, okay, Like,
and my and my son Corey just turned thirteen yesterday,
and I'm not imagine him being around anyone doing that.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
So do I need to keep you away from my kids?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Are you a bad influence? Robin?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
No. The story there's like a there's a is there
a light at the end of the time?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
A light at the end? Where's the light it's coming?
I mean, it gets a little bad, and then it
gets when.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
When was sex involved?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Ninth grade?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Robin Dixon cannot come around my kids. I'm here to
tell y'all she's got some bad values.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
But all the.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
While, I'm like, Okay, I know I'm doing I'm being
really bad, and I hope I don't get in trouble.
I hope my parents don't find out. I don't know
how the fuck I got away with this stuff. I
just don't neither do I. So ninth grade came, and
this is where the turning point happened.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, because at this point you're like, uh, what do
you call it? A delinquent? You're a juvenile delinquent?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Right? I could have been in Julie. Okay, So, and
this is all because I had a friend that was
my best friend, and she didn't have supervision like her
parents are buried lean, but you did. And her parents
smoked cigarettes too, so it's like if we were smoking
in the basement, they weren't going to be able to
even tell, right. So I spent a lot of time
(30:13):
in her house and got into all types of trouble.
So ninth grade something a light bulb went off in
my father's head.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Thank you, Jesus, because you've been running around town killing
people's Mercedes fins, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
And I was at my friend's house and we were
running the neighborhood somehow, I'm trying to remember the story. Oh,
there was a guy I was talking to and he
was four years older than me.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Of course he was.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
He was probably because of course the fourteen year old
boys weren't you know, they weren't doing it?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
And was this were you even of age? No, you
were not, and he was. This was called rape, it
sure was right. Clearly, you can never talk to my
kids again.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I can speak from experience. Okay, what not to do?
I am the example of what not to do. But
what happened was so fourteen, hanging out with my friend
and her boyfriend who and they had been like having
sex for two years, you know. And then and then
this guy that was a senior in high school, and
we drank mad Dog, we smoked weed, and all I
(31:22):
remember is I was in the back of the car
getting laid.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Getting what's laid me? You were having sex? Yeah, okay,
I'm sorry, Okay, yes, okay. And then what happened, Yes,
this is getting good.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
So that happened, and then something, it's something in my
father's head, like a light bulb went off, and he
was like he started looking for me, like I was
at my friend's house, and he literally drove to their
house and was like, where's Robin, Like something's not right?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh? How long did it take for your father figure out?
How much are right? Three years?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
No, probably three years, I guess, So yeah, I think
he always I think it was one of those where
like they knew that my friend probably wasn't the best influence,
but I would always be like, but that's my friend.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I want to go to her house, right please?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
And we spent like all like a lot of time together.
She was Jewish, I can recite Hebrew prayers I've been
you know what I mean. It was just like I
spent that much time that I was at like Rashashana
dinner with her and all that type of stuff. So
but something my parents would always try to like, no,
we don't want you to go over there, because I
think they knew that it just we were not supervised, right,
(32:25):
So for whatever reason, that night he drove over there,
came and got me, and I'm drunk as a skunk,
and literally it was like for me, that was like
the worst thing imaginable for me, for my parents to
see that I was drunk like that, right, and to
(32:48):
disappoint them like that that I literally didn't drink again,
like you know what I mean, like after that experience, right, Well,
I don't say I didn't drink again because clearly because
you were drunk last week with me, moms, Okay, I
won't say again. I probably didn't pick back like by
partying up until like senior year in high school, Okay,
but I pull I wasn't. I stopped hanging out with
(33:09):
my friend great and do you know by senior year
in high school, she was addicted to heroin. Mm hmmm,
like she had to go scary.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Who you telling?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I mean, when I think about it, I'm like, oh
my god, that could have been me. Even though I
felt like I was a little I have, like, you know,
more willpower than that I had, Like I was always one.
Like you know, when when you were in like drug
did you have dair class? What's it called dare? Yes? Okay,
when I was in dair class and they showed you
the pictures.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
When they tried to scare you, well it scared me great, right,
So I didn't think I was going to go that far.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
But the fact that my friend that I hung out
with every weekend was addicted to heroin by the time
she was in twelfth grade, Like, I just think about,
like what could have been.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
So clearly we love your father because he got you
on the street and narrow. He saved me, He saved you.
But back then, back then, you weren't. You were not
thinking about your future and what you were going to
do and who you were going to be.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
No, who's doing that in ninth grade?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well my children do that?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Oh wow, yes, Oh they're gonna be okay. Oh they
are like ahead of the curve, they are, Yes, Okay,
that's amazing, because no, I'll be honest, I'm forty one.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I still don't know what I want to be.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
And that we're gonna save for another episode of People.
Robin's forty one and she has no clue what she
wants to do with her life. Yes, that's because I
feel like that's a lot of people and people can
relate to that.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Oh, absolutely, yes, absolutely. I mean I just feel like, yes,
how many times in college like you. I mean, I
feel like all of my friends in college are like
I don't know what I gonna do unless you're that
one friend that's like I'm going to be a doctor.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
And I'm like, good for you, bitch, I'm so.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Happy that you figured that out.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
This is true.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
But anyway, Yeah, so that story, that experience like probably
saved my life. Yeah you know what I mean, It
probably really saved me from just being like just totally
jacked up and seeing my parents so disappointed, like literally
scared me to the point where I was like, Okay,
I don't want to do that again. Great, And you know,
I still was a good student, Like you know, I
finished off, was a good student. I was. I went
(35:24):
to college, yeah, you know, graduated all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
You met wan, you had some kids, Yes, and you
met a friend named Joseelle Boo. We're here today, so
just out. Yes, Well, mine is like Cinderella in comparison
New Yors. Mine is very PG rated. I was not
vandalizing any cars in the streets. I think I had
(35:48):
a wild moment. Let me see, probably high school going
into college, and I remember like one of the nights
I was like, I can't do this anymore. I was like,
I was turned so in college. I happened to turn
twenty one. Being in college twenty one is a very
big difference from Robins fourteen years old. Okay for the record,
(36:12):
but anyway, and I was enjoying myself, living my life
and doing my thing. I'm in college and the guys
I was hanging out with they was like, Youselle, you
turning twenty one. You have to take twenty one shots
h And I was like, okay, that sounds good to make.
It's like so I was down. I was like ready
for the challenge. And I don't know where in the
(36:34):
twenty one I literally have no idea about the rest
of the night, but I can promise you I tried
to get there because it was a challenge and I.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Wanted our lucky your life.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I know, I wanted to I wanted to beat the challenge.
And I remember saying, I don't think I'm gonna make
it y'all. Probably around shot ten, I was like, I
don't think I'm gonna make it y'all.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Some cheap ass liquor too.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
It was probably like a mad dog. Oh my god,
but it was like shots So anyway, Oh.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I don't want to cut you off. Go ahead, but
you said mad dog. So when my parents when when
I got caught being pissy drug and my parents were like,
what were you thinking? Why are you doing? I was like, well,
it says that it's wine, and I didn't think that
wine was bad.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
So she's just lying on top of line, on top
of line.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Try and then oh my god, this is like the
blink the victim. I was trying to victimize myself. So
then they're all like mad at me, and my brother's like,
oh that's me. I was like, I want to kill myself.
I've got to kill myself. That was like to get
them to like leave back off, Yeah, leave me alone.
I'm going to kill myself. So yeah, so at least you.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Were a smart juvenile to language.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yes, I like that.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yes, So back to a little bit of a backstory.
I am the youngest of three kids, so by the
time I was coming up, and we're all kind of
like eighteen months apart. So by time I got like,
you know, in my high school years or whatever, my parents,
like I think, were tired and they didn't feel like
dealing with me, and they didn't care what I did.
So I did get away with a lot, you know,
(38:00):
maybe sneaking out the house couple of times, things like that,
but no, nothing like too traumatic. But yes, when I
was trying to take my twenty one shots on my
twenty first birthday, I realize I can't do this. No,
and I feel crazy. And I felt crazy for like weeks,
like I felt sick, I felt like delirious. I felt
like God was trying to tell me something. I don't
(38:22):
know what he was trying to tell me, but he
was just like, bitch, you don't need to be drinking
all this, Like that was what I was getting from God.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You are lucky you are alive. Yeah, I mean cause
and not like I guess to be serious now, like
we do hear stories of people in college, Yeah, who
die from alcohol overdose.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Right, But whoever was giving me the challenge? I know
who they are to this day. Why did y'all.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Do that to me?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Like, right, that wasn't nice, That wasn't a good challenge.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
That was the worst, and how they feel their daughter? Right?
Speaker 1 (38:51):
And I was so crazy. I just was like, okay,
I'll do it right. Who agrees to this?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Right? Okay, so stupid Carloge students?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Right? And then you know, after I graduated from college,
and I still I didn't know what I wanted to
do either. I didn't know you know, where I wanted
to land. I do know that I did want to
like plan things. I want to be like an event planner,
wedding plan or something like that. And I did do
that for a little while for the NAACP where I
met Jamal got married.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
So I didn't planning background as well.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Okay, all right, and Mayor Royn got you know, things
and comings. But never in a million years if somebody
said you're going to be in a reality television show
and you're going to be a housewife and you're gonna
be on Bravo, I would be like hell no, not
only no, but I don't want.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
To do that, right. It wasn't a desire and not
some people want to be on TV.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Right, Yeah, I had no desire. I was living my
life and enjoying myself prior to our casting director calling
me and saying this is what you're gonna do? Right
and then and then I actually talked to When you
and I talked about it, you were like to say,
you we only live once, Like why not? And where where?
Why not? And who knows if we'll make it past
season one? Right? We on season six?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I didn't eve think season one was going to make
the light of day.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Yes, we're on season three, just for the for the
for the people in the in the cheap seats in
the back were on season three and Robin's like, are
we still on this show?
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Right? Is this is this real?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Like, yeah, Robin is ceasing three? Yes. Robin didn't get
it for a very long time that we were on TV.
Like she'd be like confused, Like we'd be walking down
the street, people screaming our name. She's like, who are
they talking to? They talking to us, Robin, We're on TV.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I actually experienced that this past weekend at a basketball tournament. Yeah,
Like there's this lady like waving crazy and I'm like
looking behind me, I'm like what she oh she sees someone,
Oh you're waving at me. Hi.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Yes, I will never forget. And actually this was actually
season one, so it was a little weird. So this
could this could be believable. I mean, you could, you know,
not be this naive. We were in Bethany Beach and
because we went there for Ashley's that was our trip.
That was our trip Bethany and they got win that
a reality show was filming and Bethany Beach, so we
(41:05):
were like, i think going to the boardwalk or whatever,
and it was a mob of people just like waiting
for us to get off the bus. And Robin was like,
holy shit, who are those people? Why are they here?
What are they doing here? It's like robbing they're here
for us And she was like what.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Do you mean. I'm like no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
I was like, yes, they see camera crews and they're
running now. At the time, they.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Nobody knew that Beyonce was getting off the bus though,
and Beyonce did.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
It was me and you, I'm just saying, but anyway,
so we get off the bus, and they didn't know
who we were. But like after that, it's like you
know it is. This ride has been a blessing, I'll
say for myself, and I think I can speak both
for the both of us. You know, it's ups and downs,
there's highs and lows, but we have been able to
(41:50):
showcase things that we do love and our family. I'm
proud of my family. I'm proud of the mom that
I am, and I feel like that is a blessing.
And if anybody can, especially your story, Robin, because you're
so relatable, if anybody can learn from our lives, I
think the whole thing is worth it.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Right absolutely. One of the biggest blessings for me is
when I receive feedback and comments from people who are like,
you have helped me. Yeah, you know you, I've you know,
I'm not in a good place, but I watch the
show and either it's for comic relief or it's because
they look at our stories and say, whoa I can
relate to that. I love how you overcame. Thank you
(42:31):
for sharing. And so for me, the best part is
just affecting other people's lives that I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
And let me tell you it's not easy. No, it's
not easy. No, I don't recommend reality television for anybody
who does not have thick skin. When I say thick skin,
like elephant skin.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Right right. Fortunately, and that's the thing about both of us. Yeah,
we don't care like you know, all of the scrutiny
we received. I mean, sometimes it is a little jarring
when we can receive so much negativity, But we know
who we are, and we have the people in our
lives that are important to us, and we know that
love us, and they're not going to change for us,
(43:10):
and we're not going to change for them. So fortunately,
I've been able to maintain friendships with all of my
friends that I've been friends with before the show, and
they don't give a damn about the show, you know
what I mean. And so I can have good girl
time with my friends and not talk about the show
and just feel like myself. And so, yes, it's stressful.
It's hard. Filming is hard, Watching the show is hard.
(43:31):
The you know, scrutiny is hard. But overall, the blessing
has been just like way more than the negativity.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Right right, So people, we're about to wrap up this
first episode that was so fat. I know, but we
have a couple takes from the episode. Okay, so take
number one for me is Robin Muss. You've not delinquent.
But she has come so far people, Okay, she has.
I mean, listen, she didn't come from vandalizing Mercedes Benz
(44:02):
to being an owner of Embellished and her hats are
selling I have on one right now. Her hats are
selling like hot cakes, honey cakes. So that's amazing. Do
you have a take from this show?
Speaker 2 (44:13):
I do. I would say thank God that Giselle did
not overdose and she's here because won do it? Yes,
because we wouldn't be here. We would not be on
season six of The Real Housewives of Potoma.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
We would not. We would not. And you know what,
more importantly, like the power of friendship, Like I'm so
happy that we're friends and we have a sisterhood that is.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Unbreakable, absolutely absolutely, yeah, And that is so valuable. And
when you have that friendship, everyone just nurture it. Yes.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Yes, Now, at the end of every episode, guys, we're
going to be giving you our reasonable person of the
day or the week or the year, and our shady
person of the day, the week, or the year. So
who's reasonable these days?
Speaker 2 (44:59):
I mean, this is our first podcast, ye, and we
just have to pay homage homage homage. Both the age
is silent, right, it's it's hama homage homage. I promise
I went to private school. Yeah, we have to just
give doctor Fauci. Yes, yes, yes, yes, pribes. I don't
(45:24):
care if you believe the pandemic is a hoax. We
have been through hell and doctor Fauci has remained steady, steadfast,
factual yep. And I mean, for the most part, it's crazy,
like they would say, like, oh, I predict that in
three months the numbers are going to skyrocket, and we're
(45:47):
sitting there like, oh whatever, And then come three months
and the number of skyrocket. So like I feel like
everything that they said would happen happens.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Yes, So he's a reasonable person. He is our reasonable person.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
And we got to give it up to our new president,
Joe Biden, just for the sake of thank you for
being here. Yes, thank you. One.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
If I find myself at this point in a reasonable way,
not having to stalk CNN anymore to find out the
bad news, I can actually go to bed feeling kind
of safe and secure. About the world.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
I knew that life was crazy when I would literally
be listening to CNN in my car. Yeah, Like I
would be driving and turn the scene in and it
was like almost like comforting to hear those voices that
I've been listening to, like all day, all night. Yeah.
And now I don't have to do that.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Yes, I mean you can if you want to, but
I feel like I don't want to start the rating.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
I'm sorry, don't if y'all ratings go down. It's not
our fault. No, it's not our fault. Yes. So it's
because the world is a little bit better.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
Yes, and we're feeling a little bit more secure about
our leadership. And then now we have our shady person
of the year and ooh, she been shady, shady, shady,
shady hoo, this thing been shady. And I don't even
like to say her name because I just want her
to go away, but that she needs to go sister girl,
COVID girl, you are shady. Coronavirus better known as coronavirus,
(47:11):
Miss coronavirus. You so shady. Ooh you shady, and I'm
a need for you to leave, Okay, So get your
shady tail up. Out of here. We are done with you.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
She has outworn her welcome, Yes she has, she's never
welcome never, no no.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
So we've had we've had enough of you. We're done.
And I think our reasonably shady combination is a good
one because I think Bauci and Biden can get rid
of are shady. Oh, absolutely, miss correct.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
We are going to be back to normal one day
one day.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Soon, one day soon, one day soon. So I think
I think that's it for today. That's it.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
I mean, I think we should tell people thank you
number one for listening to us. Yes, and I hope
you continue to listen to us because we have a
whole lot of exciting topics to talk about. Yes, you
can expect to hear, you know, just topics about relationships
and business and friendships and beauty and you know, current
events we're going to tackle. Yes, And so I'm sorry,
(48:09):
and I mean, and it's going to be fun and
funny and you're going to feel like you're talking to
your girlfriends. Oh. And then you know, at some point
we're going to have advice segments, so if you have some,
if you need your advice from me or Geselle, I mean,
I don't know who you want advice from me, we'll
both give it to you.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Yes, yes, but next our next podcast, we believe it's
going to be about breaking up or making up, all
about relationships and that animal that we call love. So
you don't want to miss that. Yes, So until then,
holla back Reasonably Shady.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
Which one are you going to be this week?
Speaker 4 (48:49):
