Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to reasonably shady mail bag. Boo boom boom. That
was the mail going into the thing, the splot into
the slot. Okay, so thank you once again for sending
all the mail that y'all send. Yes, we do appreciate it.
It's like stacks and stacks and stacks. I want you

(00:27):
to hold up that stack. Oh yeah, so just y'all
can like see what we're talking about when we say
stacks on stacks. Yes, stacks of mail, stacks on stacks
on stucks. So we do appreciate it. Keep them coming,
you've got mail, all right. So the first one is
from Micah Michelle Mitchell. I'm sorry, Michael Mitchell. Hey down

(00:48):
the Robin. I hope you guys have been well. I
appreciate you guys making my Monday mornings both reasonable and shady. Also,
congratulations on seasons. It's so reasona B shady and season
ten of ourhop. I've been loving this season so much
and I'm really really excited for what's to come for

(01:08):
my favorite flute holders. Miss you, Robin with a heart.
So currently I'm seeking your advice about a major decision
I've been considering recently. For context, life has been very much.
Lifing this past semester, from conflicts at work, which used
to be one of my favorite jobs, to my living
situation with an interesting roommate to having an identity crisis

(01:32):
and not knowing who I am, what I want out
of life, if I really want to do school anymore
and live the traditional lifestyle of a twenty one year old. Oh,
this person's twenty one? Okay? Was that gen z Okay,
what's up, gen z ors So the decision I'm looking
at is to move to Seattle and live with a

(01:56):
relative up there at the beginning of twenty twenty six,
to get a change of scenery, figure some things out,
and finally do something for myself, and leave the Midwest
for good, or at least in terms of living there. Okay,
So my question for you, for you guys, is should
I take things over to the West Side and start

(02:17):
fresh or should I see through my decision on going
to college here at home in Michigan and make the
best of what I currently have. Okay, that's a good question.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, what's up, Micah? Thank you for the love, Thank
you for listening to reasonably shady. Yeah, you know, I
mean without knowing you that is a really hard question.
But I want to just say, at my age, I
can look back on, you know, life and certain decisions
you make, and you do the.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Woulda could have, should have?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh yeah to all that, the hindsight or you know,
I wish when I was younger I had done XYZ.
And I would probably say, if you have this feeling,
you're twenty one, you're still young.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I think that's an opportunity for you to do something
that could shift your life. And if you don't do
it now, you may not get a chance to do
it later, and you may look back and say, Damn,
I wish I had at least done something different to
change up, you know, whatever is going on in my life,
the scenery, the trajectory, the feeling, the mood, all of that.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
So I think that's complete opposite. Really, yeah, I think
apparently he's so he started college. Yeah, And so the
question is do I stick with the college situation in
Michigan while I'm at home, which I would assume you
live in rent free or maybe not because he has
a roommate I don't know, or leave. I say stay

(03:44):
and finish it.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Finish college, finish college, and then leave. Yeah, I mean,
that's the hard part, because you do want to finish
what you started.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah to right.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
And then the other thing though, that does concern you.
Say you want to move to Seattle and live with
a relative. Yeah, now who is that relative? What's your
relationship to them?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Now?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know, it's one thing to live with your your
parents or a sibling. It's another thing to live with
like aunt, a cousin, right, an uncle who you're like
now in their space. Now, I don't know if this
relative has said.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Oh, you know, you can come. My house is your house,
we have an open door policy. Whatever, don't.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't know that right there, But I do think
that is something to take a consideration.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Like, I think you should stay and finish and get
a job and then.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
And then go go where you want, go wherever, and.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
You don't have to what do you call it? Move
in with somebody you can hopefully, you know, be able
to take care of yourself.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
All right, what about a compromise? Right, so you're in college,
Let's finish out college the current college semester and the
next semester college year school year academic here, and then
this summer, yes, go to Seattle.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Live your best life. Right in Seattle and then come
back visits.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Don't maybe get an internship or a job there. We
stay there for a few months. That might with the
family member. Yes, yes, yes, okay, that might be just
what you need to kind of like invigorate yourself love
or just give you a different change of page, change
of scenery, yep, new vibe. And then go back to college. Yes,
I don't know what year you are.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
And finish and finish and graduate. Yes, yes, that's the compromise.
That is a great compromise. We figured that thing out.
We were we asked that thing out right.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
We bounced our thoughts off of each other, and then
we came to a compromise.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes, so Michael, let us know what you're gonna do, okay,
because we need to know because we didn't you auntc
it and give you some good advice. Yes, okay, yep,
all right, what else?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Okay, this is from Gig, She said, Hi, my faith ladies,
your girl Gigi again. Gg re listening to episode one eight.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
I love new people. I love our listeners. That what
did listen? I don't don't because I say some foolishness
out of my mouth.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I mean, I don't know everyone. People just choose to
listen to episodes again and again. Episode we're on like
two hundred something. Now, yeah, okay, so you chose to
re listen to one thirty eight titled the Lip Flip.
Jiselle's shady moment was everybody constantly asking her what she's
going to do when all the girls have left the

(06:19):
house and acting like her life is over. She said,
when she's alone in the house, she's going to walk
around naked all the time and dow and we're going
to catch her on TMZ kissing a random guy in
the corner and did this was funny to me because
this season of rhop oh Stacy went around showing everyone

(06:40):
would look like a paparazzi photo of Giselle and a
guy all cozy in a corner.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
I miss this. Jise did not know you could see
into the future. I didn't need that.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Also, maybe Robin you should you should pay you, Maybe
Robin should pay you to tell her her future.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Instead of the California psychics. Oh true, true, because I
have I'm quite gifted. Yes, I'm gifted, ha.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I just wanted to share that observation. Am I reasonable?
Or shady for bringing that up. Keep doing you love
Gigi either. Wait, so they had pictures of you kissing.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's a lie. I was just on a date. You're
on a date. I was on a date, and like,
somebody in the restaurant took the picture. And then this
is right before we started filming. So then we start
filming and someone gave this picture to Stacy to ask
me about. Oh, yes, but you can't even see who
the person is.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Were you canoodling? No?

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I was eating food, like you can't even see his face. Okay,
So Stacy decides that she knows who this is.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Okay, yeah, okay, I mean was it like breaking news? No,
that you were on a date?

Speaker 1 (07:52):
That's what That's exactly what I said. I said, guys,
do y'all not know I'm single? Because this is actually
what I'm supposed to be doing. This isn't like a guy, right,
because I had to ask is this I got you moment?
Because it's not right? Yeah? What are we missing? My
position is if I wasn't on a date, that's a problem, right.
But I'm out here in the streets, y'all. How many
times can I tell you I'm in the streets. It's

(08:14):
my sweet spot. Okay, yes, yes, that's what I told
Holly Robinson Pete where she did the Love Hotel Okay,
what do you call it? Love Hotel panel? And she
was like just all I'm invested in you, And I said, okay,
she's making me nervous. She was like, I'm just wanting
you to find love. And what's going on with you?

(08:36):
I said, how I am in the streets? Right in
the streets is my sweet spot? Like there's no commitment
in the street. Yeah, and she was happy in the streets. Yeah,
she was like she just laughed and kept it moving.
But yes, very nice. All right, we got our guy.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
We have a couple of guys before I get to
your favor. When I get to another one, okay.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, I don't have anymore. Oh no, I do have one.
Wait a minute, let me read this one really quickly, Heather.
Heather says, hello, ge Bees, I was out shopping last
I was out shopping the night before Thanksgiving listening to
the podcast and I'm on one twelve as of this email.
She's behind. She's like super behind seventy. I love it though.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
That means she she just became a recent listener. Okay,
and she's thank you having up.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay. She said, I was walking through the chip aisle
and attached is a pick of what I found. So
I was just wondering if you guys come through CT.
I guess that's Connecticut, Connecticut. Love you guys and hope
you have a good things. Had a good Thanksgiving, Love Heather.
So her subject of the email is was one in Connecticut. Okay,

(09:54):
because in the chip.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Aisle is a empty door, read do bag, open bag
of chips.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
And we do not want Antonio likes to partake in stores. Yes,
so was he in Connecticut? He was not? Okay, Yes,
however that is one is vindicated. That's his cousin, right,
that was right.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Ray, all right. So this we have a letter from
Derek dash Oh.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
We love der k Derek.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yes, the subject is Jasell Bryant versus the map of
North America.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yes, thank you, hey, ladies.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
First and foremost, I come in peace, Giselle, But you
put these jokes right at the rim, so I couldn't
pass this moment up. So I was listening to the
pod the other day and when Robin asked Giselle to
name the three countries in North America.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
WHOA.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I had to pause the podcast and take a deep breath.
Gazelle started off strong, Yes, the United States, Yes, okay, solid.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Then she threw in Mexico yes, and I thought.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
All right, she's two for three, and then the wheels
came completely off. She started stuttering like the map was
personally attacking her. Then out came South America, Greenland, Iceland.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I almost fell out of my chair. She was just
naming land.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
She's heard us, Yes. Robin was trying so hard not
to laugh. You could hear her holding it in. The
best part is Jeselle's sounded so confident, like she was
discovering new continents in real time. Columbus, who at this
point reasonably shady, might need a geography corner or at
least a globe in the studio, because if Greenland and
Iceland ever joined North America, Jazelle's gonna want her credit

(11:42):
for calling it first. Anyway, I'm still crying, Jaselle Bryant,
Queen of Beauty Shade and Queen of Beauty Shade and
Accidental Comedy. Sorry, Giselle, I love you, but I had
to get my jokes in.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Okay, thank you, Derek. I do appreciate that, and I understand.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
But you didn't know either, right, Well, so I didn't know.
I thought it was just the three continents North America.
I mean, I'm not continent countries United States, Canada, and Mexico.
But there's others, right, It's like twenty three countries in
North America that I never realized were considered North America. Okay, well,

(12:20):
but I always always, always knew United States, Canada, and Mexico.
I feel like that, like I remember that being something
we were drilled in in like elementary school.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I'll take a geography class. I'm not It's no shame
in my game. I don't know what the hell anything is. Yeah,
but you know it's so funny.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Like so, I so we posted the clip on the
Instagram page, the reason We Shady Instagram page, and I
added it. I was like a collaborator on it. So
I added it to my page. Okay, I got so
sick of people commenting.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
That I'm stupid. Yes, I went.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
I went on the reason We Sadie page and turned
the comments off, like after after like three thousand comments
on how stupid.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
You are, guys, I'm very smart. I just needed Oh
my god, okay people, Yes, we get it. Yes, okay,
we got it. We gotta say. I had to turn
them damn comments off. That ship was annoyed. I think
my mother called me. It was like, oh my god,
you don't know where anything is. It's ridiculous. Now my mom.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
And then my mom texted me tell Giselle it's Canada.
I'm like, Mom, thank you.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yes, Glass, I think she figured it out.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I think we figured this out. Yeah, this is from
Dick Hurts again again, and the comment is my dearest,
most finest and do I mean finest of all the
housewives who receive a a r P. Yes, that's funny.

(13:54):
That's actually most of us. Well not I'm not there yet.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
No, you're not there, but large, yes, a very large yes.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
And he says I'm back. Bitches. Did you miss me? No,
it hurts.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
We did not.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, you might be overstanding. You're welcome now. Yes, okay,
please consider this is a special holiday edition email from
your pal. Let's get right to a few things. I'm
going to completely skip over commenting on the episode where
Jazelle was clueless about Robin's questions? Are eat North America?

(14:28):
Too easy for me to go into Jiselle's lack of
blueberry digestion, So let's get to it, okay. And episode
two six, both of you praised Wendy for showing up
to Bravo con But question, wasn't she contractually obligated to
show up? If so, no praise needed. No, she was not.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
No, I mean I think you can cancel for extenuating
circumstances without penalty. Totally okay, But no, it's not in
her contract. No question for.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Both of you. Did either or both of you feel
peer pressure to spend lots of money on expensive material
items in order to attempt to keep up with other
housewives perceived lifestyles. Do either of you think that type
of pressure is resulting in certain actions by housewives? Question
for Giselle, what are your thoughts on persons sitting in

(15:19):
first class or any class playing IG videos loudly on speaker,
not using headphones? Do you feel this is acceptable behavior?
Question for Robin? Would you ever consider getting so much
plastic surgery, botox, fillers, et cetera that you become so
unrecognizable that even your iPhones facial recognition no longer unlocks

(15:44):
it when it sees your evolving face like larsa, Oh
my god. Okay, okay, let's go back to Okay, let's
go back. Okay, we're gonna okay first, thanks first, Okay,
pressure about pressure to buy expensive things, I already know
the answer personally. No, No, I mean I see, I

(16:07):
see the lady. I see. How am I supposed to
say this. I understand the pressure. I'll say that I
understand the pressure, and I understand that. You know, the
ladies want to feel like they are housewives, they are
that pitch. Yeah, I understand it. Yeah, I personally am

(16:28):
the cheapest rich person, you know, So I don't get
involved in that. Like I have nice things. Yes, I
spend money on some nice things and then others, I
mean other things. I don't and I won't. I think
that a lot of things should be purchased and given
as gifts to me, and I allow that to happen. Yes,

(16:50):
but you know, no pressure. Yeah, and I would say
that I don't. I've never felt like production put pressure
on us for that.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, yeah, no, yeah, so I know I never felt pressure.
But I've never been one of those people to like
try to keep up with other people.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Now. Do I like nice things? Sure?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yes, but do I have to have, you know, a
closet full of nice things?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
No?

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I but and also right, production network has never put pressure,
at least that I know of, on anyone to kind
of keep up a lifestyle. I mean, I do think
sometimes I've heard in the casting process some peoples, the
interviewers will ask people like, oh, what kind.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Of car do you driver? Oh, let me see your closet.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
You know, they want to They're curious about what the
person has.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
But I don't think that's fair for the interview.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
No, right, Yeah, that's fair for the interview, But it's
like once you're there, they're not like, what you you know.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
You need to up your game. You need to you.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Know, keep up with everyone else. You need to do this,
you need to do that.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, I don't. I don't really think does that C
stand for coach or channel?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Right?

Speaker 1 (18:05):
I don't want to see the coach anyway. Moving on,
so this they're asking, he's asking if somebody's playing IG
videos loudly on a plane? Is that shady?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Unacceptable behavior? Unacceptable behavior, yes, Like who does that? Right?
You know that's very unacceptable.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
I don't like, Oh, Porscha.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Williams, but she wasn't okay, go ahead, that's what you bet.
I think that's what he's were going. That's oh okay,
because so okay, but did you see the lady.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
I did not see the lady, okay, but apparently Porsia
was playing her phone, yes, ig videos, it was loud,
and the lady like yelled at her to turn her down.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yes, and then and the lady said that she did
it the whole time and blah blah blah. You know
your neighbor that you don't like. Yeah, that's what that
lady looked like. Yes, okay, so yeah, and then.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
But I mean that's a valid that is valid. So
if she was playing her videos loud, totally, I don't
you know. I tell you I don't carry headphones, I
don't wear heavy phone.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
So if I'm on a plane and I'm looking at Instagram,
I turned the.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Volume all the way down. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
But and I just read the caption, yes, yeah, I
just so it is rude.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
I definitely think it's rude. And I know Porcha's not
rude like that. So I don't know what happened there,
but and it's probably right.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
It probably was like at the beginning of the flight
before people were taking off, before she was settled. I
don't know, and it was and the plane, mind you,
it's full of Bravo Kon people, right, so you know,
this particular fan viewer could have been like a hater.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
So we don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, I don't know. But still yeah, no, it is rude.
But now I figure out why he asked you that.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yes, okay, we're gonna skip the next one as it
relates to whether or not you're unrecognizable for phone recognition.
We're skipping that.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
No, I don't plan on doing that to myself.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
I will one day. I will one day get a facelift. Yeah,
oh oh, I didn't even tell you. So I'm at
this is we see this could have been like a
whole other second at Bravo Khon. You know how you
going through the always people going one way. I stopped
Terry debrou Oh, I don't even notice. Man. I stopped him,
like physically, and I was like, do I need a facelift?

(20:09):
And I was like, what, huh? Not right now? As
a matter of fact, people who do it too early,
it's a problem. He said, not right now. I said, okay,
thank you, and then I cat walking and then you
come Heather behind him like, oh, just on your beautiful note,
don't get a face clip right now. I said, Oh,
that's so funny. That's so funny. Yes, I will get

(20:31):
a facelift when it's time. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
No, I'm not going to get it too early, but
I will get one one day in my life.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Right there with you, okay. In episode two five, oh
Dick Hurts also says in episode two five, the conversation
revolved around how deep and cavernous Giselle's meat tunnel is
post hysterectomy. I've never heard my vagina he called a
meat tunnel. Okay. Fun fact, there is a condition that

(20:58):
is the opposite of that call vaginal agent agonists, agingists,
agent nieces a genesis, a genesis where the external meat
curtains still exists, but the depth of the actual love
hole it's only about one inch. Oh my god. Oh
that's not good. Okay, you can't put anything in there. No,

(21:20):
Usually women who have this condition stud simply resort to anal. Dick. Well,
I'm not We're not reading any more of this because okay,
anal being their go to method. But to my question.
In that same episode, Gazelle claims that she and one
of her boyfriends were getting hot and heavy, and after
she removed her clothing and he removed his, Giselle Pauls

(21:43):
looked at his man and said no, thank you due
to his enormous size, and he was okay with this.
We don't believe you. First of all, I didn't say
it to him. Okay, that's why you're yes. If you
say it like that, yeah, I don't believe that, but
I didn't say that to him. Please tell us the
truth about what happened. I didn't said that to him.
Happy Hanukkah. He's Jewish, not necessarily Honkah is Jewish?

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Right, yes, because it doesn't mean he's.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
It, says happy Honnakha. He called us hos love always
your pal. Dick hurts, PS. I appreciate you. I appreciate
that you save my letters for the actual show and
you don't relegate them to that Thursday abbreviated mail bag show,
which we just did. My letters to you are aid
