Speaker 1: Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of the Black Effect
Speaker 1: podcast Network and I Heart Radio. Welcome to another episode
Speaker 1: of Reasonably Shady. I am Gazelle Ryan. Where's up, y'all?
Speaker 1: This is Driving Dickson. Mary Christmas, Merry, Merry Christmas? Did
Speaker 1: you sign a real one? Did you make that up? Well?
Speaker 1: I didn't have. I mean, like, that's a real that's
Speaker 1: that was Mariah care. She just came just saying Mary
Speaker 1: Christmas married Mary. Can we talk about Maria can work? Yeah? Please? Okay?
Speaker 1: You know she's like just performed in concert recently, right,
Speaker 1: This was like that was last week, yeah, couple weeks
Speaker 1: ago or whatever. And one of our friends, m Eric,
Speaker 1: went to the concert. Yeah, and he was posting like
Speaker 1: all these clips he was at the concert in New
Speaker 1: York that night. Yeah, he was posting on his Instagram
Speaker 1: on the stories. And I was tempted to be shady
Speaker 1: and be like, um, does she sound as bad as
Speaker 1: I think she sounds? Oh? She sound it bad, like
Speaker 1: just from this what I was he posted. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like, this doesn't sound great to me, but that
Speaker 1: that would be shocking because Mariah, I mean, she's got
Speaker 1: the vocal cords, right, but you know, as people get older,
Speaker 1: they kind of their voice changes. The voice changes, maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know. So anyway, so there's a Whitney Houston
Speaker 1: movie that's out. I want to dance with some bad
Speaker 1: Day and anyway, um, the you know, I've seen the
Speaker 1: majority of it, and the majority of it that's a
Speaker 1: whole other story. So anyway, you know, no one can
Speaker 1: do Whitney. I just want to say that, no in
Speaker 1: tropy told in those later years Whitney couldn't do Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, no, Whitney, she's the legend. But like you
Speaker 1: know her, when she was in her prime, her voice
Speaker 1: was untouchable. It was amazing. So you know what's so crazy.
Speaker 1: I didn't appreciate her at the time because I was
Speaker 1: never I would say, I was never really a Whitney
Speaker 1: Houston fan. I was never a Michael Jackson fan. Um.
Speaker 1: But now looking back, when I hear her songs, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I took her for granted, for real, because
Speaker 1: nobody can touch that voice like, nobody like and it
Speaker 1: makes me kind of sad for music today. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: where are the singers? Um? I think we've talked. I
Speaker 1: know we've talked about this before. I know, so we're
Speaker 1: not going to do that again. But um, yeah I
Speaker 1: took her for granted. Yeah yeah, let me tell you
Speaker 1: who we're not taking for granted because he's been doing
Speaker 1: the mom and I'm so in love with when he's
Speaker 1: doing these days. It is Shaquille O'Neil. He is out
Speaker 1: here in hisstoren spreading Christmas love. He's just rereading love.
Speaker 1: So I saw this clip, I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: seen it, and he was in the store or whatever,
Speaker 1: and this little boy ran up to him as a fan,
Speaker 1: and he told the boy. He was like, do you
Speaker 1: know how to ride a bike? And the boy was
Speaker 1: like yeah. He was like, go get yourself a bike.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So he like bought the boy a bike.
Speaker 1: He bought the boy like thousands of dollars worth of things.
Speaker 1: And apparently this is what Shaquille is doing, like all
Speaker 1: the time, randomly everywhere. Whenever I go to a store
Speaker 1: from now on, I'm buying somebody else something. Period. Grab
Speaker 1: your bike. Every day I leave the house, I gotta
Speaker 1: bless somebody. I can't. I can't keep all this. He
Speaker 1: is totally he I watched it and I said to myself,
Speaker 1: I need to do that. I know, wouldn't it be
Speaker 1: nice to do that and not necessarily like buy a
Speaker 1: kid a bike like just something, just something like pay
Speaker 1: for the people's food behind me or in front of me,
Speaker 1: Like no, I hate that. You know why why because
Speaker 1: when you started, it keeps going. Well, no, you say
Speaker 1: I'm going to pay for the person behind me or
Speaker 1: in front of me, and that's it what he keeps going.
Speaker 1: Okay from Okay, first, hold the hell you paying for
Speaker 1: the person in front of you because they they haven't
Speaker 1: rung it up yet. Okay, what what line are we
Speaker 1: talking about? A drip? No, we're talking about we're talking
Speaker 1: about like Starbucks, the grocery store, some of the grocery
Speaker 1: store that I go in that you don't go in
Speaker 1: anymore because you're you're famous and your celebrity. Well I
Speaker 1: still never say that, never to the grocery store. Um No,
Speaker 1: Robin has never said that. She doesn't act like that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I the okay, let me say this, has
Speaker 1: done that several times for I have paid for people
Speaker 1: in front of me, but I think I need to
Speaker 1: do more. You've said just randomly or like was it
Speaker 1: like their card was declined and you paid for it.
Speaker 1: They were struggling with it. They were something you know
Speaker 1: how you see somebody in you and they're like pulling
Speaker 1: pennies out or they're you know, they're just doing stuff
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, it's a problem here. So I've
Speaker 1: done that and I paid for people behind me. Um,
Speaker 1: Like if they have three things, I'm like, I take
Speaker 1: care of them too. Um. But I need to do more,
Speaker 1: and Kio has inspired me to do more, especially for
Speaker 1: the holiday. See so you know, now you're about to
Speaker 1: get five thousand d M and emails yeah saying hi, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So I don't do that, and I'm gonna tell you why.
Speaker 1: So I get plenty of d M saying, you know,
Speaker 1: go fund me, can you help with this? Can you
Speaker 1: get that? Because I can't see whether or not it's
Speaker 1: really really And that's how I feel. And I but
Speaker 1: if I know something's real, yes I will help out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me too, That's how I feel. Like if if okay,
Speaker 1: so if I see something like a go fund me
Speaker 1: and I saw it on the news, So if I
Speaker 1: saw it on the news and the news says, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like say there was a tragedy, right, Um, and
Speaker 1: the news says, like, yes, this go fund me is
Speaker 1: legit and it's being hosted by the you know, you know,
Speaker 1: if there's some sort of fact checking on the go
Speaker 1: fund me, then I'll help, I'll share whatever. But like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we get so many emails asking for help with the rent,
Speaker 1: or help or help with the electric bill or um
Speaker 1: all kinds of Christmas wish list and all the types
Speaker 1: of stuff, and it's really hard to know whether it's
Speaker 1: real or yeah, and I need to if I'm giving
Speaker 1: my my money, I need to know it's real. But
Speaker 1: she killed because apparently, I'm sorry. Apparently these people scamming
Speaker 1: like make millions a month, yes, operation like whole business operations,
Speaker 1: and there are companies that make millions of dollars, like
Speaker 1: nine million dollars a month scamming, and I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be I don't want to be part
Speaker 1: of that bottom line. It's so crazy. So it's kill.
Speaker 1: I want. I want to tell you that you have
Speaker 1: inspired Zell Bryant's and I'm going to do more out
Speaker 1: here in these streets. But I do beautiful now. I
Speaker 1: love that. I do love that, and it's it is.
Speaker 1: It is a blessing to be able to bless others. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and it comes back tenfold. I believe that now this
Speaker 1: is last, but not least, And I hope that you
Speaker 1: guys had a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate Christmas. But
Speaker 1: this is the holidays. But I always like you know,
Speaker 1: y'all know, I've said it a million times. I love
Speaker 1: holiday music, okay, but there's some songs that don't make
Speaker 1: any sense, Like what what is a partrid? JENNI, pear tree?
Speaker 1: What is it? Like? What that? That is a good question?
Speaker 1: What is that? What is it? What? Partridge? And that
Speaker 1: a bird? I don't a bird? I thought it was
Speaker 1: at meal. That's porridge? What is I'm googling this now
Speaker 1: what Okay? Partridge in a pear tree, in a pear tree,
Speaker 1: That's that's what it is. It is a bird. I've
Speaker 1: never seen a pear tree a petrees. So the partridge
Speaker 1: in a pear tree represents Jesus, the Son of God,
Speaker 1: whose birthday we what okay, I'm still reading. Birthday was
Speaker 1: celebrating on the first day of Christmas. Christ is symbolically
Speaker 1: presented as a mother partridge, a bird that will die
Speaker 1: to protect it's young what Okay, So now, nurst, lady,
Speaker 1: you did not know that I had no clue what
Speaker 1: a partridge in the pear tree was all if he
Speaker 1: knows what a partridge? Yes, like, I actually want you
Speaker 1: to like call him right now. Well, um, now, because
Speaker 1: we have other things that discuss with jab which is
Speaker 1: why are you trying to sell weed? Okay, speaking of
Speaker 1: Jabal Bryant, And there's women because because they're for the
Speaker 1: record people. When y'all listen to y'all Christmas music, I
Speaker 1: want you all to email me email reasonably shady because
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of songs that we sing and I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell that means. Makes no sense? Okay,
Speaker 1: but okay, So a couple of weeks ago, y'all know,
Speaker 1: we had that Jamal Bryant on the episode, and then
Speaker 1: somebody wrote in, this is Adriana Ford wrote in and
Speaker 1: she said, for the past two weeks, I've been listening
Speaker 1: to the podcast from the very first episode. So she
Speaker 1: was backtracking. Okay, she said, I'm finally caught up in
Speaker 1: talking her voice again. I'm finally caught up and honestly,
Speaker 1: I freaking love you guys. Absolutely. He hilarious. She wrote
Speaker 1: it like that, dude, he hilarious. This was the perfect
Speaker 1: idea for y'all too. So today I heard on the
Speaker 1: radio I'm from Philly, by the way, that Jamal wants
Speaker 1: to grow a weed in front of his church and
Speaker 1: sell it. He want to grow the weed. I just
Speaker 1: want to know what your thoughts are on the topic.
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be able to hear your response on
Speaker 1: the next podcast. Keep up the good work. Okay. So
Speaker 1: the reason why did you think as soon as you
Speaker 1: saw okay? And the reason why we are talking about
Speaker 1: this is because so many people have asked me my
Speaker 1: opinion on Jamal Bryant and the weed factory. Okay. So
Speaker 1: he is to know new Birth is to know that
Speaker 1: it is a huge tell the people who didn't hear it,
Speaker 1: like what. So, Jamal Bryant, my former husband, is a
Speaker 1: pastor of the church called New Birth in Atlanta, which
Speaker 1: is the largest acreage of property for a church in Georgia.
Speaker 1: Jamal got on a podcast and said, um that he
Speaker 1: loves some podcasts. Huh, yes, So he gets on the
Speaker 1: podcast and he always gets but clearly we're not um.
Speaker 1: He gets hi stuff into trouble because he said that he,
Speaker 1: because he has all this land at new Birth, was
Speaker 1: thinking what better way to reach men to employ there
Speaker 1: by allowing them to grow the weed that they're selling
Speaker 1: in the streets at the church, so he could teach
Speaker 1: them how to be uh gardeners and entrepreneurs. I eat
Speaker 1: drug deals. Okay, but weed now is legal, so it's
Speaker 1: legal in Georgia. Okay, let me just say this is legal.
Speaker 1: Weed is legal kind of, but not in Georgia. It's
Speaker 1: not legal in Georgia. Okay. So Jamal Bryant, before you
Speaker 1: made this announcement, you should check to see whether or
Speaker 1: not this was legal, sir. Okay. And I have said
Speaker 1: to him, can you please is it on the ballot
Speaker 1: coming up like I mean it should be because it
Speaker 1: just hit our ballot, Maryland's ballot, so it was not
Speaker 1: on the ballot of the most recent race. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it is all the way live not legal in Georgia.
Speaker 1: So Jill, Jamal, if you try this, you're going to else, sir.
Speaker 1: But it is in concept. I think it's a good idea,
Speaker 1: but it's not legal, sir. And we're not going to
Speaker 1: teach people how to be illegal drug DEALERSTS Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: I was, in my former life a drug dealer because
Speaker 1: I worked for a pharmaceutical company, so I was a
Speaker 1: legal drug dealer. So I get the people need their
Speaker 1: forms of drugs. Yeah, but yeah, yeah, it's too soon,
Speaker 1: too soon. I mean, it's I think. I think it's
Speaker 1: funny hearing from a pastor of a church that he
Speaker 1: wants to grow weed at the church. Right, that's right.
Speaker 1: There is the word funny or is the word disturbing.
Speaker 1: It's a little disturbing. It's wild, it's interesting. But but
Speaker 1: I understood, I understand his intent, which is, Okay, these
Speaker 1: guys are, um, you know, doing something illegal. Let's figure
Speaker 1: out how to help them do something legal right, right,
Speaker 1: and and make some money, make honest living, yes, and
Speaker 1: ten percent back to the church. Boom. We all win. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So as you enjoy your holiday season, get your legal weed,
Speaker 1: get your smoke on, get your drink on, and have
Speaker 1: a good old time and be safe, yes and definitely safe.
Speaker 1: And we will see you all in y'all. Yeah. Sorry,
Speaker 1: these were little short episodes. We want to say hi,
