That true true, Yeah, personally and on shade. Yeah, for sure,
you've got mail. Okay. So this is from LaToya Edwards
and she wanted to say, oh, listen to me. She
wanted to say, Jaselle, I just want to say that
I just love Jaselle r H O P. Thank you.
Love her fun shape and that picture of her from
(01:02):
back in the HBCU Day's classic. Yes it is. I
listened to the podcast and I just laugh along with
you all beautiful women inside and out. Okay, So, speaking
of things from back in the day, you know the
Kilani song folded, Yes, I love that song. By the way,
you do. Yeah, Okay, I mean so I want to
say I had something to say about it. Okay, no,
(01:24):
go ahead, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I'm gonn let you finish.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
That song and Mariah the Scientist song, those are the
only songs that are playing on the radio right now.
If you listened to the radio, like because I like
to listen to the More in the Morning, and every
other song is Kaylani and Mariah the Scientists. There are
no other people making music right now, apparently not. Yes,
we continue.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Because Beyonce's on hiatus. Yes, so shout out to the
Alphas of the Gamma Iota chapter of Alphas at Hampton Universe. Okay,
because they did a stroll to the folded song outside
it was like snowing. It was like picturesque looking.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Nice, nailed it, really killed it, demolished it. She reposted it.
Oh she did so.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, okay, I missed.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Kudos to the Gamma Eye japter.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And then, speaking of the Alphas, I saw a clip
it was on Peacock's Instagram page of the show bel Air.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yes, and I saw that, Yes, and they.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Were I don't I don't watch bel Air. I don't
know anything about it. But I saw this clip and
I watched it like ten times because it was the
alphas were stepping and I guess maybe the characters, I
guess the main characters on the show or in the fraternity.
And I just thought it was so cool because a
(02:41):
lot of times when we watch TV shows, they used
fictional fraternities and sororities, right, and this was a real
authentic fraternity with And I was like, oh, these people
are definitely they're not actors, like they're definitely members of
the fraternity. Like they are definitely alphas.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
But the main person was on the show, right, yeah okay, yeah, yeah,
So I thought that was really cool when I saw it,
I was like, definitely, because you know, they would have
to get approval for this, so definitely somebody in the
writing room is probably a member of it's probably an alpha.
So and I was watching, I was like, oh, yeah,
it's cold, Yeah, it's cold. Oh it's cold in here. Okay,
(03:26):
actually I can do that because I'm an aka. You cannot. Okay,
how you do it too? It's cold in here? Like
it was so good. Yeah, I saw I love that.
I was like, I watched it, yeah five times. And
by the way, like back in the day and this
is gonna you're gonna throw tomatoes at me. But back
in the day, the Alphas at Hampton were not like
the men. It was like the Kappas.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, they usually aren't well okay, no, no, no, no, okay true,
But today, like the Alphas at Hampton, when I went
back to see a door, they came out of that
step show and demolished it did demolished.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Who were these guys, right right? I said a door.
You need to get you some one of them because
they were just incredible, so nice. I do think they
stole half of their steps from the cues, but that's
a whole other story, right. Anyway, we're moving on, so
we digress. This is from Susan McDonald Hello, which we.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Need to note Susan wrote us two years ago ago.
This is from two years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But we're getting to it. It's the mail bank. Yeah, okay,
so she says, hello, I'm a longtime fan of r
H O P and the podcast and of course the
Green Eyed Bun died by the way, Yes, somebody sent
me the first time somebody called us green Eye band.
It's on Potomac, right, it was. We talked about this Okay,
(04:48):
I didn't know that. I thought it was Monique. You know,
we we did talk about it. I didn't, but I
saw the clip.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
The clip, Yeah, I didn't want I don't. I think
someone might have sent me. I don't think I watched
the clip. But yes, no, it was Ashley. So then
I think people just ran with it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
They ran with it. But so I appreciate that Ashley. Okay,
So I have a question for Giselle and Robin. Sorry,
this is a novel, Okay, so we'll buckle up. I
had a friend of fifteen years named Gloria. We both
worked remote in the same company since COVID and kept
(05:23):
it and kept in touch mainly by calls and texts,
and I would see her on occasion for lunch, but
not very often. Okay. We were not best friends, more
like good friends. She is single and thirty seven, and
I am thirty one and married with two grown No, fifty,
(05:43):
this is a five. She's fifty seven. I'm fifty one
and I'm married with two grown boys and a twelve
year old son.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I went to lunch with an old friend and coworker
of mine, male age seventy five. He was in town
during the lunch and I texted her and said I
would call her when I get home. When I called
her back, being the good friend that I thought I was,
(06:12):
I was met with all kinds of attitude and we
chatted for a while about work, and then I brought
up my lunch friend and she said, when do I
get a goddamn invite to lunch? This is not where
I saw this going, okay, just by the racks, I
didn't see this going this way. I said, excuse me,
(06:35):
when do I get one? And she then said I'm
hanging up and that whole hung up. Two. I am
a part time influencer and had gotten her an invite
to come with me to a pre opening of the
Norse Stroum Rack to go shop for her to help
(06:58):
me with photo prior to the incident, and she kept
asking me for an invite. Okay, So when the day
comes for the event, I texted her and asked her
if she was still coming, and even apologized, saying I'm
not sure why you're upset, but I would never intentionally
hurt you. No response, and she did not show up. Okay,
(07:19):
this is getting to the good part. To make matters worse,
I got laid off from my job of nineteen years
with no severance.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
A couple of weeks after this, no text or call
from her, which was extremely hurtful. Okay, the bitch hasn't
talked to me since this happened late. Actually, right, the bitch.
She didn't say the bitch, okay, but it says it
says bleep, beep and bleep, and I for the because
she bleeped the bitch. So I just said bitch. Okay, okay,
(07:49):
would love to would love y'all take on this. I'm
still confused, okay, okay, your thoughts. See, I thought she
was gonna say she wanted to hook them up. Oh,
because the lady is single. She went out with the
old friend who's seventy five. So I was like, maybe
the shady part was the fact that this man was
seventy five and she was fifty seven, Right, that's not what.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Hap was not but nothing. I think the friend is jealous.
I think she's lonely and she's jealous of what of
just her life, Like.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
She's she might be a.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What territorial friend, you know? Like okay, like doesn't like
to see her hanging out with other people, or like
seeing her do other people without her being included. Oh okay,
so I think the friend is feeling left out. She's
feeling jealous because she wants to do the same things
as she's doing. So she sees her she's an influencer,
she said, So she was helping her take pictures for
the events, and she.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Probably like wants her life a little bit. Okay, I
didn't even think about that at all.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, what is you?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I was thinking, it don't even matter two tears in
a bucket. You don't need to talk to her no more,
Like this is over, Like what are we doing here?
Like we're not going to continue to continue and you
continue to have people in our lives that aren't positive.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Right, Yes, and for like no reason. So, yeah, their
friend is jealous of you. And I think when you
in it up like little things. And I think when
you see that, that's when you know you need to
cut ties.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yes, usually yeah, if she.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Can't be who gets mad over someone going to lunch?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's weird without them, you know, or that's weird you
know when do I get a lunch date? Or you
never invite me to lunch? Well, friend, you could have
said let's go to lunch totally, you know, so yeah,
that one has some type of negative energy going on
and you don't need it, don't need it, and I
want this to be over. So we know it took you,
It took us two years to tell you that you
(09:43):
don't need to be friends with her no more. But
you don't need to be friends with her no more. No, no,
she's I.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Mean it's also this just could be good advice for
anyone that goes through something similar. I feel like people,
I feel like this is actually kind of common. Like
I've you know, you do have friends who get jealous
when you go out with your other friends and or
when they feel like they're left out.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yes, no, totally. Yeah, but I feel like, you know,
everybody's life is a journey. Yeah, and you know you're
you're on it for a part of it, you're on
it for the whole thing, you know, you know what
I mean? Yeah, but you but in the meantime, you
have to be happy for people, right yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And then and then you just don't know what, like Okay,
So that lunch date could have been something really spontaneous
where the guy called her and said.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Hey, let's go to n let's go to lunch.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
So like, what what is the other person getting mad at?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, this this is really weird. Okay, anybody toxic in
your life, they got to go, Yes, they got to go.
All right. So this is from Tracy, Henry, Hi, Robin,
and Gisel. I hope you are doing great. I recently
just started listening to your podcast and I love it.
This message is for Giseelle. I just want to thank
(10:49):
you for showing me unbothered in action. Oh okay. I
noticed that anytime you're faced with drama or problems, you
always remain just so unbothered, and it's like problems just
bounce right off of you and you just continue smiling,
dancing and eating and you just go on about your
day like nothing happened. Yes, by the way, twenty twenty six,
(11:13):
I'm no longer eating on television for the record. Why
because I saw I was in the scene and I
was eating, and I was like, why am I eating
so much freaking food. I mean, yes, I was starving
because they never feed us, but I'm like, no, I'm
not eating anymore. I just was like I was distracted
by me eating. I was watching it, and I was like,
distracted by I feel.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Like that wouldn't feel normal.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So you're just gonna like sit at a entertain I'm
gonna do Karen. Yes, I'm gonna do a Karen. I'm
not eat because it's just distracting. Okay, I'm gonna eat
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Fine, Rapp.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's it's not distracting, it's actually normal.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I was distracted by watching myself eat. Oh yeah, okay, No,
not distracting to the scene by No, I was just distracted.
I was like, why am I still chewing? But anyway,
she says, I am really.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That's what you're not unbothered by. You are bothered by
watching yourself eat. Yes, yeah, bother that.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Was like, ohoh, because I can't. I was like maybe
it was so maybe it was like the third scene
I was in and I was eating in all of them,
so I was like, okay, no one more eating for me,
all right. Then she goes on to say, I am
really working on getting to that level of unbothered goals.
You both are so funny, and I wish you continued
(12:25):
success for your show. Sincerely, Tracy Henry. Yes, why are
we bothered? Right? Why?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I mean I can't say I am unbothered probably ninety
percent of the time. Yeah, you know, there can be
sometimes when people something just like takes you over the edge.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, but I really feel like that comes. I feel
like as people get older, you become more and more unbothered. Oh,
it's for sure, you know. Sure? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Like, so do you think would you say when you
were twenty five you were.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I was very bothered? Yeah, yeah, when I was in
not even so let's take it back to like high
school and high scho school, all the way up until
twenty eight, I was very bothered, right, And then I
think twenty eight I woke up and I was like,
so I don't give a damn and it's worked for me. Yeah.
So I think that what I realized was that other
people were controlling my attitude, right, and that's a problem
(13:19):
for me. No, I should be the only one that
can control my attitude. Yes, you do something to me,
you piss me off, whatever, I feel different. I feel
a different way about the situation. I shouldn't be so
angry that it messes up my day, Yeah, because I
got things to do. Like is it food, right? Yeah? Yes? Right.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
So it's like you sitting at home mad and upset
over something that somebody said or did, And then when
you think about it, like, well, what is that person
doing that personally is going on about their life mine
and now thinking about you and not thinking about what
they said, not even knowing that you upset. Whatever, So
it's like, Okay, well am I upset?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So I just think when you put it that way,
it's like, why would I allow something that someone else
has done or said, which you know a lot of
times you can't control. Why would you let that consume
you and control your day and mess up your day,
mess up your energy?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah? Totally. And and I don't. I don't believe in
like hypertension, high bood pressure, all of that. I want
all of my arteries to be pumping as they should. Yes, yes,
I don't. I don't want none of that. Yes, all right,
that is our mail bag. Alright, we love y'all, Yes,
say mail bag at the end.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
No, no, we.
Speaker 1 (14:32):

That song and Mariah the Scientist song, those are the
only songs that are playing on the radio right now.
If you listened to the radio, like because I like
to listen to the More in the Morning, and every
other song is Kaylani and Mariah the Scientists. There are
no other people making music right now, apparently not. Yes,
we continue.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Because Beyonce's on hiatus. Yes, so shout out to the
Alphas of the Gamma Iota chapter of Alphas at Hampton Universe. Okay,
because they did a stroll to the folded song outside
it was like snowing. It was like picturesque looking.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Nice, nailed it, really killed it, demolished it. She reposted it.
Oh she did so.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, okay, I missed.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Kudos to the Gamma Eye japter.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And then, speaking of the Alphas, I saw a clip
it was on Peacock's Instagram page of the show bel Air.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yes, and I saw that, Yes, and they.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Were I don't I don't watch bel Air. I don't
know anything about it. But I saw this clip and
I watched it like ten times because it was the
alphas were stepping and I guess maybe the characters, I
guess the main characters on the show or in the fraternity.
And I just thought it was so cool because a
(02:41):
lot of times when we watch TV shows, they used
fictional fraternities and sororities, right, and this was a real
authentic fraternity with And I was like, oh, these people
are definitely they're not actors, like they're definitely members of
the fraternity. Like they are definitely alphas.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
But the main person was on the show, right, yeah okay, yeah, yeah,
So I thought that was really cool when I saw it,
I was like, definitely, because you know, they would have
to get approval for this, so definitely somebody in the
writing room is probably a member of it's probably an alpha.
So and I was watching, I was like, oh, yeah,
it's cold, Yeah, it's cold. Oh it's cold in here. Okay,
(03:26):
actually I can do that because I'm an aka. You cannot. Okay,
how you do it too? It's cold in here? Like
it was so good. Yeah, I saw I love that.
I was like, I watched it, yeah five times. And
by the way, like back in the day and this
is gonna you're gonna throw tomatoes at me. But back
in the day, the Alphas at Hampton were not like
the men. It was like the Kappas.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, they usually aren't well okay, no, no, no, no, okay true,
But today, like the Alphas at Hampton, when I went
back to see a door, they came out of that
step show and demolished it did demolished.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Who were these guys, right right? I said a door.
You need to get you some one of them because
they were just incredible, so nice. I do think they
stole half of their steps from the cues, but that's
a whole other story, right. Anyway, we're moving on, so
we digress. This is from Susan McDonald Hello, which we.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Need to note Susan wrote us two years ago ago.
This is from two years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But we're getting to it. It's the mail bank. Yeah, okay,
so she says, hello, I'm a longtime fan of r
H O P and the podcast and of course the
Green Eyed Bun died by the way, Yes, somebody sent
me the first time somebody called us green Eye band.
It's on Potomac, right, it was. We talked about this Okay,
(04:48):
I didn't know that. I thought it was Monique. You know,
we we did talk about it. I didn't, but I
saw the clip.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
The clip, Yeah, I didn't want I don't. I think
someone might have sent me. I don't think I watched
the clip. But yes, no, it was Ashley. So then
I think people just ran with it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
They ran with it. But so I appreciate that Ashley. Okay,
So I have a question for Giselle and Robin. Sorry,
this is a novel, Okay, so we'll buckle up. I
had a friend of fifteen years named Gloria. We both
worked remote in the same company since COVID and kept
(05:23):
it and kept in touch mainly by calls and texts,
and I would see her on occasion for lunch, but
not very often. Okay. We were not best friends, more
like good friends. She is single and thirty seven, and
I am thirty one and married with two grown No, fifty,
(05:43):
this is a five. She's fifty seven. I'm fifty one
and I'm married with two grown boys and a twelve
year old son.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I went to lunch with an old friend and coworker
of mine, male age seventy five. He was in town
during the lunch and I texted her and said I
would call her when I get home. When I called
her back, being the good friend that I thought I was,
(06:12):
I was met with all kinds of attitude and we
chatted for a while about work, and then I brought
up my lunch friend and she said, when do I
get a goddamn invite to lunch? This is not where
I saw this going, okay, just by the racks, I
didn't see this going this way. I said, excuse me,
(06:35):
when do I get one? And she then said I'm
hanging up and that whole hung up. Two. I am
a part time influencer and had gotten her an invite
to come with me to a pre opening of the
Norse Stroum Rack to go shop for her to help
(06:58):
me with photo prior to the incident, and she kept
asking me for an invite. Okay, So when the day
comes for the event, I texted her and asked her
if she was still coming, and even apologized, saying I'm
not sure why you're upset, but I would never intentionally
hurt you. No response, and she did not show up. Okay,
(07:19):
this is getting to the good part. To make matters worse,
I got laid off from my job of nineteen years
with no severance.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
A couple of weeks after this, no text or call
from her, which was extremely hurtful. Okay, the bitch hasn't
talked to me since this happened late. Actually, right, the bitch.
She didn't say the bitch, okay, but it says it
says bleep, beep and bleep, and I for the because
she bleeped the bitch. So I just said bitch. Okay, okay,
(07:49):
would love to would love y'all take on this. I'm
still confused, okay, okay, your thoughts. See, I thought she
was gonna say she wanted to hook them up. Oh,
because the lady is single. She went out with the
old friend who's seventy five. So I was like, maybe
the shady part was the fact that this man was
seventy five and she was fifty seven, Right, that's not what.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Hap was not but nothing. I think the friend is jealous.
I think she's lonely and she's jealous of what of
just her life, Like.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
She's she might be a.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What territorial friend, you know? Like okay, like doesn't like
to see her hanging out with other people, or like
seeing her do other people without her being included. Oh okay,
so I think the friend is feeling left out. She's
feeling jealous because she wants to do the same things
as she's doing. So she sees her she's an influencer,
she said, So she was helping her take pictures for
the events, and she.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Probably like wants her life a little bit. Okay, I
didn't even think about that at all.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, what is you?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I was thinking, it don't even matter two tears in
a bucket. You don't need to talk to her no more,
Like this is over, Like what are we doing here?
Like we're not going to continue to continue and you
continue to have people in our lives that aren't positive.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Right, Yes, and for like no reason. So, yeah, their
friend is jealous of you. And I think when you
in it up like little things. And I think when
you see that, that's when you know you need to
cut ties.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yes, usually yeah, if she.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Can't be who gets mad over someone going to lunch?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's weird without them, you know, or that's weird you
know when do I get a lunch date? Or you
never invite me to lunch? Well, friend, you could have
said let's go to lunch totally, you know, so yeah,
that one has some type of negative energy going on
and you don't need it, don't need it, and I
want this to be over. So we know it took you,
It took us two years to tell you that you
(09:43):
don't need to be friends with her no more. But
you don't need to be friends with her no more. No, no,
she's I.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Mean it's also this just could be good advice for
anyone that goes through something similar. I feel like people,
I feel like this is actually kind of common. Like
I've you know, you do have friends who get jealous
when you go out with your other friends and or
when they feel like they're left out.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yes, no, totally. Yeah, but I feel like, you know,
everybody's life is a journey. Yeah, and you know you're
you're on it for a part of it, you're on
it for the whole thing, you know, you know what
I mean? Yeah, but you but in the meantime, you
have to be happy for people, right yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And then and then you just don't know what, like Okay,
So that lunch date could have been something really spontaneous
where the guy called her and said.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Hey, let's go to n let's go to lunch.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
So like, what what is the other person getting mad at?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, this this is really weird. Okay, anybody toxic in
your life, they got to go, Yes, they got to go.
All right. So this is from Tracy, Henry, Hi, Robin,
and Gisel. I hope you are doing great. I recently
just started listening to your podcast and I love it.
This message is for Giseelle. I just want to thank
(10:49):
you for showing me unbothered in action. Oh okay. I
noticed that anytime you're faced with drama or problems, you
always remain just so unbothered, and it's like problems just
bounce right off of you and you just continue smiling,
dancing and eating and you just go on about your
day like nothing happened. Yes, by the way, twenty twenty six,
(11:13):
I'm no longer eating on television for the record. Why
because I saw I was in the scene and I
was eating, and I was like, why am I eating
so much freaking food. I mean, yes, I was starving
because they never feed us, but I'm like, no, I'm
not eating anymore. I just was like I was distracted
by me eating. I was watching it, and I was like,
distracted by I feel.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Like that wouldn't feel normal.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So you're just gonna like sit at a entertain I'm
gonna do Karen. Yes, I'm gonna do a Karen. I'm
not eat because it's just distracting. Okay, I'm gonna eat
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Fine, Rapp.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's it's not distracting, it's actually normal.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I was distracted by watching myself eat. Oh yeah, okay, No,
not distracting to the scene by No, I was just distracted.
I was like, why am I still chewing? But anyway,
she says, I am really.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That's what you're not unbothered by. You are bothered by
watching yourself eat. Yes, yeah, bother that.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Was like, ohoh, because I can't. I was like maybe
it was so maybe it was like the third scene
I was in and I was eating in all of them,
so I was like, okay, no one more eating for me,
all right. Then she goes on to say, I am
really working on getting to that level of unbothered goals.
You both are so funny, and I wish you continued
(12:25):
success for your show. Sincerely, Tracy Henry. Yes, why are
we bothered? Right? Why?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I mean I can't say I am unbothered probably ninety
percent of the time. Yeah, you know, there can be
sometimes when people something just like takes you over the edge.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, but I really feel like that comes. I feel
like as people get older, you become more and more unbothered. Oh,
it's for sure, you know. Sure? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Like, so do you think would you say when you
were twenty five you were.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I was very bothered? Yeah, yeah, when I was in
not even so let's take it back to like high
school and high scho school, all the way up until
twenty eight, I was very bothered, right, And then I
think twenty eight I woke up and I was like,
so I don't give a damn and it's worked for me. Yeah.
So I think that what I realized was that other
people were controlling my attitude, right, and that's a problem
(13:19):
for me. No, I should be the only one that
can control my attitude. Yes, you do something to me,
you piss me off, whatever, I feel different. I feel
a different way about the situation. I shouldn't be so
angry that it messes up my day, Yeah, because I
got things to do. Like is it food, right? Yeah? Yes? Right.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
So it's like you sitting at home mad and upset
over something that somebody said or did, And then when
you think about it, like, well, what is that person
doing that personally is going on about their life mine
and now thinking about you and not thinking about what
they said, not even knowing that you upset. Whatever, So
it's like, Okay, well am I upset?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So I just think when you put it that way,
it's like, why would I allow something that someone else
has done or said, which you know a lot of
times you can't control. Why would you let that consume
you and control your day and mess up your day,
mess up your energy?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah? Totally. And and I don't. I don't believe in
like hypertension, high bood pressure, all of that. I want
all of my arteries to be pumping as they should. Yes, yes,
I don't. I don't want none of that. Yes, all right,
that is our mail bag. Alright, we love y'all, Yes,
say mail bag at the end.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
No, no, we.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Did it already, all right, bye y'all all. Bright

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.

This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
