Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: We were like talking about something and she says, I mean,
Speaker 1: where's your receipt from hurrahs? And I'm like, you mean harahs?
Speaker 2: What hurrah? Hurrahs? Harah is actually a better pronunciation. It's
Speaker 2: not you would need a U for it to be Hurrah.
Speaker 2: No ah ah, Hurrah he what have to hard a? Okay,
Speaker 2: I like Hurrah better.
Speaker 1: Hurrah is hu like hooray hu are a it's hooray.
Speaker 2: We're moving on. We're about to talk about nipples. Okay,
Speaker 2: are you ready? Yeah? Okay, So we talked about Kim
Speaker 2: Kardashian's new bra.
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, Skims came out with a
Speaker 1: bra with nipples built into it, so it looks like
Speaker 1: your high beams.
Speaker 2: Are on right, So we thought it was ridiculous. Yes,
Speaker 2: and we asked you guys, like, what do you think? Right?
Speaker 2: And Derek our guy, Derek Dash, that's why we call
Speaker 2: him Dash. Okay. I didn't know anybody called him Dash.
Speaker 2: Karli calls him Dash okay, So we asked you guys
Speaker 2: chime in, so he did. He said, hey, ladies, great
Speaker 2: pod today. So I wanted to write in about two things. One,
Speaker 2: I totally support the Skims nipple bra. I personally know
Speaker 2: some women that had breast cancer. Oh I didn't think
Speaker 2: about that and have went through all the surgeries that
Speaker 2: comes along with it. These bras can be looked as
Speaker 2: a great as a godsend. Most women lose their nipples
Speaker 2: during the mess ectomy, so bras can be uplifted. So
Speaker 2: these bras can be uplifting to women. I'm sure this
Speaker 2: wasn't what she had in mind when she created the bros,
Speaker 2: but again, this can be seen as a great thing. Oh,
Speaker 2: thank you, Derek. Kind of thing about that, yep. And
Speaker 2: second thing is Robin get a Balsam Balsalsam Hill, Bosom
Speaker 2: Hill tree. What's that?
Speaker 1: So that's a it's a brand and Derek, I have
Speaker 1: been on the Balsam Hill website for hours and hours
Speaker 1: at a time because I cannot decide which one to buy,
Speaker 1: Like that's what the Christmas trees for Christmas tree. I
Speaker 1: love Balsom Hill. I love their trees, and I can't decide.
Speaker 1: Do I want a frosted tree? Do I want a
Speaker 1: regular tree? What side?
Speaker 2: What height?
Speaker 1: You know? I have a two story living rooms. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want like a super tall one. If I do
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna put it? So yes, I am all
Speaker 1: over Balsom Hill, Yes, and I still can't decide.
Speaker 2: So I was at Ashley's Houth not too long ago,
Speaker 2: and she has one of those big trees that lights
Speaker 2: up like you had last year, but hers comes it's
Speaker 2: already pre tree with like glitter. Oh there's glitter everywhere?
Speaker 2: Oh really it's I don't borderline too much.
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't want that. Yeah, I don't want glitter,
Speaker 1: but the frost glitter slash frost Okay, okay, yeah, the
Speaker 1: frost ones. I'm scared that that that will get everywhere too. Yes,
Speaker 1: so did I recommend you not get those? Just get
Speaker 1: a real tree? No, no, no, just say not happen.
Speaker 2: Okay, well somebody else was talking about. So thank you, Derek.
Speaker 2: We love you and your wife, by the way, who
Speaker 2: we never see because you're always in the videos when
Speaker 2: we see you in TVA. Moving on and Peters says, hello, ladies.
Speaker 1: Wife doesn't love us like she loves likes.
Speaker 2: Yes, he does. You said on your most recent podcast
Speaker 2: that you wanted to hear from men about the nipples. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm a woman and I had to type this. Who
Speaker 2: cares what they think? Nipples are a natural body part
Speaker 2: and if you show them through your clothing, then they show.
Speaker 2: I gave up bras many many, many, many many years ago,
Speaker 2: and if I'm gonna spend money, I don't need to
Speaker 2: spend on nipple covers and other crap because someone might
Speaker 2: be able to see that I have nipples. Please stop
Speaker 2: shaming women having normal nipples. Miss nipples show through their
Speaker 2: clothes and nobody cares, so please stop applying ridiculous patriarchal
Speaker 2: standards to women read it, it's like that because that's
Speaker 2: what she says.
Speaker 1: She's angry because she is angry. Okay, nobody's shaming anybody. No,
Speaker 1: I am not comfortable walking around with my high beams
Speaker 1: on period. I'm not shaming you for doing it, yes,
Speaker 1: but I don't like that for myself. We're not shaming
Speaker 1: you and Peters, right. And the question really was like
Speaker 1: why would they make it?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: Why is this a thing? Why are they making a
Speaker 1: brawl with the nipples? And is it? Is this fashion?
Speaker 2: And I don't know, Tory. I asked several men. I
Speaker 2: did a survey, a man survey Oka and okay, fine.
Speaker 2: I asked Jason, and I said, would this be attractive
Speaker 2: to you? Right? If you women are walking down the
Speaker 2: street showing their nipples And he said that he feels
Speaker 2: like they're he felt he felt like that was trashy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he felt like they were what do you call it,
Speaker 2: like when you're when you wear booty shorts, like when
Speaker 2: you wear some provocative He felt like.
Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to attract you're trying to attract
Speaker 1: that attention.
Speaker 2: Yes, right? And he no, he would not, he would
Speaker 2: he would not be attracted to that woman, he would
Speaker 2: feel like she's.
Speaker 1: Trashy, okay, if she was intentionally.
Speaker 2: Just walking around with her nipples sticking out right, yes, yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm just it's not I'm not shame.
Speaker 1: We're not shaming anyone. It's just I'm not comfortable with
Speaker 1: that for myself.
Speaker 2: Yes, But I remember we were filming one time and
Speaker 2: Ashley had on this dress and we could see her
Speaker 2: nipples and I was like, yo, you some nipple covers,
Speaker 2: and so she was like, no, just that my nipples
Speaker 2: are natural, my nipples. She was all excited to show
Speaker 2: her nipples. So maybe it's a generational thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, maybe a generational thing. Maybe some people
Speaker 1: are just more comfortable than others. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's just like Anne Peters, you know, she's she is
Speaker 1: who she is, and she's proud and she's not going
Speaker 1: to cover them up. And I get that too, But
Speaker 1: for me, it's a comfort level. No, not walking around
Speaker 1: because honestly, I think that if I was walking around
Speaker 1: with my high beams on, everyone's eyes would be looking
Speaker 1: at my high beams. Yeah, you know, they would, that's
Speaker 1: where they're looking. I'm like, I don't want to attract that.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I don't want men walking around I can
Speaker 2: see your balls.
Speaker 1: Right, And that's the thing I'm like. I think about,
Speaker 1: you know, if you see a print, like if someone
Speaker 1: has on some extra tight something, right, you see their print. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that.
Speaker 2: You know. When I went to go see the Whiz
Speaker 2: in DC, not on Broadway, one of those costumes, I
Speaker 2: could see like the guy had like a print and
Speaker 2: I was like.
Speaker 1: Distracted, You're just looking at that the whole time?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, and it looked like it was large.
Speaker 2: I was like, go ahead on with your bands. Okay, okay, anyway,
Speaker 2: this person right here want some advice. Definitely want some advice.
Speaker 2: Hi there, longtime listener, first time riding in. I love
Speaker 2: bringing my son to school on Mondays because I get
Speaker 2: to listen to your podcast after I drop him off.
Speaker 2: I have a problem I need help with. This is
Speaker 2: me and Robin Specialty, and I immediately thought about you
Speaker 2: two could give me some advice. One piece of background information.
Speaker 2: We have one TV in our house. It is small.
Speaker 2: My husband and I have two little children, and so
Speaker 2: far we've been okay with one TV using our phones.
Speaker 2: If we want to watch something else on our own.
Speaker 2: A new TV is in discussion, but we need to
Speaker 2: find the budget first. Here's the story. So I'm watching
Speaker 2: the premiere of the new Real Housewives of Podomac season.
Speaker 2: After my husband went upstairs with my son to get
Speaker 2: them to sleep. I spent the day doing laundry, baking bread,
Speaker 2: making dinner. Kids kept bothering me and saying my name
Speaker 2: five thousand times while my husband watched football, soccer and
Speaker 2: American football kind of sport. Yeah, we know football. We
Speaker 2: live in Baltimore, and the Ravens played and won in
Speaker 2: the afternoon, so I thought Ravens. At about eight pm,
Speaker 2: it was finally my turn on the living room TV
Speaker 2: to watch our h oh and the.
Speaker 1: Peak Sunday night football y'all.
Speaker 2: After my husband got my son to sleep, the man
Speaker 2: came downstairs and asked me if he could watch some
Speaker 2: other game on TV and claimed he had been waiting
Speaker 2: for this game all day. Altogether, I had fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: of watching what I wanted to watch on TV.
Speaker 1: So here's my problem.
Speaker 2: RHLP time slot is Sunday evening at the same time
Speaker 2: as primetime football. Apparently husbands want to watch all the
Speaker 2: football games, not just the Ravens. I wonder how long
Speaker 2: she've been married to this man? Okay, because she should
Speaker 2: know that, right, right, So this isn't anything new. No,
Speaker 2: how do I get time on the TV to watch
Speaker 2: our hop when my husband thinks it's only for football. Lastly, Robin,
Speaker 2: you do say literally a lot, but you use it
Speaker 2: appropriately and therefore do not change a thing. Thank you,
Speaker 2: and Giselle, I agree. Read When Gracie Met the Grump
Speaker 2: by Marianna Zapata. I think you'll enjoy it. Why is
Speaker 2: she telling me that am I grounp? I don't know
Speaker 2: what's that about anyone else? When Gracie met the Grump?
Speaker 2: When Gracy met the ground? Okay, okay, I have to
Speaker 2: pick that up. Maybe she knows I'm a reader and
Speaker 2: no one else in this room is okay, moving on?
Speaker 2: So okay, this is this is actually a very real situation.
Speaker 1: Real situation, a very common problem. Yes, in a lot
Speaker 1: of households my house, I don't put on the Real
Speaker 1: Housewives of Potomac on Sunday night at eight.
Speaker 2: Okay, but there's a different reason why you don't do that, Robin,
Speaker 2: because you've already seen the episode. A couple of days prior,
Speaker 2: you don't need to watch it.
Speaker 1: True, but even if it's like, okay, the all right,
Speaker 1: I don't watch a ton of TV anyway, but I
Speaker 1: am one real house House of Beverly Hills comes back on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to watch it. Okay, if the men, if
Speaker 1: the young men, if the men, the old man, the
Speaker 1: young men, if they're in my house, they are turning
Speaker 1: my TV off, like they It's like Housewives is nails
Speaker 1: on a chalkboard for some of these men.
Speaker 2: Okay, but let's say you're watching it and they walk
Speaker 2: and they're not in the room, and they walk into
Speaker 2: the room, they're gonna turn the TV off.
Speaker 1: Well, the problem is, okay, we have fifty million TVs
Speaker 1: in my house. Yeah, so my problem is not the
Speaker 1: same as hers because she only has one TV.
Speaker 2: Right, so they need to get a new TV. Deah,
Speaker 2: they're not that expensive, right, that's true. Yeah, TVs are
Speaker 2: very cheap these days. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so get another TV for number one. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: you do deserve your time.
Speaker 2: Yes, get Potomac. Forget watching the Real Housewise Potomac. She has,
Speaker 2: as she said, done all the chores, cooked all the food. Like,
Speaker 2: if you want to do that to relax, right, then
Speaker 2: you deserve that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you want to kind of like pick
Speaker 1: your battles and not you know, a fight.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to be a fight. Football games are
Speaker 2: not important. Football games are live TV, Yes they are.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you can always watch The Real Housewives Potomac later.
Speaker 1: Why should she.
Speaker 2: Have to sacrifice? Why should she have to wait? Because
Speaker 2: because they can see that game on replay?
Speaker 1: Who wants to do that? It's not as fun. No,
Speaker 1: you're not watching a game on replay because by the
Speaker 1: time you watch like Sports Center in the highlights, you
Speaker 1: know what happened, you're not watching it.
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, so but we need our ratings, so I'm
Speaker 2: not telling these women to let their men just watch
Speaker 2: the football. Well, she can watch it the next day,
Speaker 2: watch it at our ratings. Okay, fine, yes, okay, we
Speaker 2: watch it.
Speaker 1: I hope you have a DVR so that you can
Speaker 1: record it. Yes, but I don't. Yeah, it's kind of
Speaker 1: I think it sucks.
Speaker 2: Well, or I mean you could do like I used to.
Speaker 2: Well I didn't used to do this, but she can
Speaker 2: get naked and stay in front of TV. That's my suggestion,
Speaker 2: and like see what your husband thinks you'd be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you have three options, jump me, Potomac or this dumb
Speaker 2: ass football. And if you watch the football, you'll never
Speaker 2: jump me again. Right, see what he see? What he picks?
Speaker 2: Which'll think he's gonna pick?
Speaker 1: You don't need to get another TV in your house.
Speaker 1: For sure, he's gonna put up a fight because it's
Speaker 1: live football TV. Like you know, it's not like you
Speaker 1: can can watch these you can watch the hospitals Potomac later.
Speaker 1: You can't watch live football later. So he's gonna put
Speaker 1: up a fight.
Speaker 2: Okay, And yes you do, but they don't need to
Speaker 2: do it together. She could just watch Potomac somewhere else
Speaker 2: in the house by herself.
Speaker 1: That's why I said they need another Okay, okay, gotcha. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no solution here with one TV. No, it's not
Speaker 1: you're not gonna I don't know. I don't think you're
Speaker 1: going to win with one TV. Or or because aren't
Speaker 1: that expensive? No, or he has a phone. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he can watch the game for that hour on his
Speaker 1: phone while she watches Potomac on the big TV. Because
Speaker 1: you need to see my full face on a big screen.
Speaker 1: I like that. Yes, Okay, so put that out there
Speaker 1: to him. Can he watch it? Can he sacrifice for
Speaker 1: an hour, watch the game for an hour on his phone? Yes?
Speaker 1: And then once once it's off, switch over it's his turn. Yes,
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: And then after it's all over, they have sex and
Speaker 2: everybody's happening, everybody wins. There we go, Okay, so we
Speaker 2: have cyber shopping to do, so we have got to go.
Speaker 2: We absolutely love y'all. We know this is a little
Speaker 2: bit of a mini episode, but you know it's the
Speaker 2: holiday season and it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, better than nothing better than.
Speaker 2: And we love y'all. Home exactly, and we're gonna be
Speaker 2: back next week. Don't ever forget to live your life
Speaker 2: reasonable and shady. H reasonable or shady or both. Bye
Speaker 2: Bye m
