Speaker 1: Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of the Black Effect
Speaker 1: podcast Network and I Heart Radio. Welcome to an all
Speaker 1: new episode of Reasonably Shady. I am Jazelle Briants, What's up?
Speaker 1: What's Up? And I am Robin Dixon, and we are
Speaker 1: so happy that you're here with us. Yes once again
Speaker 1: and okay, so like, thank you so much again. We
Speaker 1: have to always say for watching the Real Housewives of Potomac.
Speaker 1: We are on Sunday nights at eight p m. Eastern
Speaker 1: Standard Time on Bravo TV. Thank you for watching. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Ye it's kidd juicy, I mean
Speaker 1: the juice is a spilling. Okay, all right, So as
Speaker 1: per normal, we gotta give our reasonably shady moments of
Speaker 1: the week. Okay, So, oh my gosh, moving, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: this ring moving. Moving sucks. So my reasonably shading moment
Speaker 1: just goes to the whole concept of moving, of packing, moving,
Speaker 1: of unpacking. Like, what part do you of moving do
Speaker 1: you think is the worst? I think the packing, not
Speaker 1: the unpacking. No, No, because packing, like you can just
Speaker 1: literally just grab stuff, throwing in boxes and you know,
Speaker 1: kick the box up and whatever. But unpacking when you
Speaker 1: have to try to figure out where the stuff is
Speaker 1: going or you know what I'm saying, because it might not.
Speaker 1: It's like the house you moved to is not the
Speaker 1: same configuration. You might not have the same drawers or cabinets,
Speaker 1: or you might realize I don't need this, or we
Speaker 1: might say like okay, I don't want all this stuff. Right,
Speaker 1: It's just so did you purge before you packed? Half
Speaker 1: and half? So I packed my closet, like my personal stuff,
Speaker 1: so I was I purged that stuff. But like I
Speaker 1: and then moving, the shady part goes to my movers
Speaker 1: call him out. I don't really want to call them out. Alright, fine,
Speaker 1: we won't, but I paid for a pack and move,
Speaker 1: like a full house pack and move, and the movers
Speaker 1: show I was like three men and they were like,
Speaker 1: um yeah, most people. Most people just their boxes are
Speaker 1: already packed and we just picked their boxes up in
Speaker 1: the little tracks like we've never packed a house before.
Speaker 1: And I'm like what what Okay, listen at that point
Speaker 1: they need to be fired, right And I'm like what,
Speaker 1: I'm like, w t F. So my you know, one
Speaker 1: day moving job turned into a two day moving job
Speaker 1: requiring too and it's so weird because I'm like, the
Speaker 1: last time I moved, which was like four years ago,
Speaker 1: it wasn't like it wasn't this much. Okay, So what's
Speaker 1: the So you came from what square footage and you
Speaker 1: went to what square footage? Do you know that you know?
Speaker 1: I really don't know. I think the townhouse was like
Speaker 1: square feet and then my new house, you know, the
Speaker 1: basement and all that is probably like five thousands square feet.
Speaker 1: I don't know, so like so up to the east
Speaker 1: side sky. But it was I mean at first, I'm like,
Speaker 1: why do I have so much stuff? Right? Why? Like
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like when when you
Speaker 1: are unpacking, that's when you realize like how much stuff
Speaker 1: you have and you don't need. I feel like i
Speaker 1: could just literally like throw all the rest of the
Speaker 1: boxes away and I would not miss anything. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure the boys have accumulated a lot of just stuff.
Speaker 1: The boys, I mean me want like all of us.
Speaker 1: It's just all right. Well, I was doing some traveling
Speaker 1: over the past week or so, and I was in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, very excited. I took my kids there because
Speaker 1: they had never been, and they were like, you know,
Speaker 1: we need we want to go. We want to go
Speaker 1: down Rodeo. We want to be in Beverly Hills, we
Speaker 1: want to We're important. Anyway. My point is every restaurant
Speaker 1: that I went to, and I went to some very
Speaker 1: nice fine dining, so I would be chewing on my
Speaker 1: last bite of food and they're ready to get you
Speaker 1: out of there, and they were literally snatching up my
Speaker 1: plate and they were like, okay, all right, bye bye,
Speaker 1: like they were Every restaurant was snatching my plate up
Speaker 1: and I was still chewing my last bite. L A restaurants,
Speaker 1: y'all a shady. I don't know what is going on.
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all all have a mandate like
Speaker 1: get people out, turntables over. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but goddamn it, let me eat my food and leave
Speaker 1: my plate alone. Wow. Yeah, that's frustrating. I definitely feel
Speaker 1: like the restaurant in the street with the pandemic is
Speaker 1: just like jacked up because either they're short on workers
Speaker 1: um or they're like trying to make up for lost
Speaker 1: time and so everything is like super expensive. And then
Speaker 1: like you said, they're like trying to get you in
Speaker 1: and out. Yes, and I'm a black woman, I like
Speaker 1: to like save all my food. So let me say that.
Speaker 1: Did they even let you order dessert? One place? He
Speaker 1: brought me the check before I ordered dessert, and to
Speaker 1: know me as to know that I always ordered dessert.
Speaker 1: Excuse you, sir, I need to see the dessert menu.
Speaker 1: I am not done. She not done? Did you ask
Speaker 1: them like, what is that with this? No? I just
Speaker 1: you know you would have called them out, but it
Speaker 1: was every restaurant. Every restaurant was like literally they weren't.
Speaker 1: They weren't being rude about it. They were just snatching
Speaker 1: my plate on my last bike. I think they're like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're trying to get as many people in and out
Speaker 1: and and what's every restaurant like Super booked Oka they
Speaker 1: were crowded yea, yeah, they had people in there. So
Speaker 1: I just I didn't like it. Um l a restaurants,
Speaker 1: y'all are shod and leave me alone the end the end? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: but so much is happening in the world robbing since
Speaker 1: we last chatted. I kind of wouldn't know because I've
Speaker 1: been underboxes for test a couple of weeks. Okay, when
Speaker 1: do you think you'll be done on patching? Okay? So
Speaker 1: like to my liking, I need another full week, and
Speaker 1: I like and I don't want to leave. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's like you move. First of all, moving is
Speaker 1: like giving birth. So it's like you you know, when
Speaker 1: you give birth, it's such a horrible, horrific experience, but
Speaker 1: you do it again, like you know, you you kind
Speaker 1: of like forget how bad it is and you do
Speaker 1: it again. So I feel like moving is the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's like, I know, moving sucks, but you know, I
Speaker 1: chose to do it again. So anyway, but I don't
Speaker 1: want to leave, like I don't want to just like
Speaker 1: I have a really big stoge room and I don't
Speaker 1: want to just like throw everything in the store room
Speaker 1: and forget about it, like I want to get through
Speaker 1: every single thing and put everything in its place. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give myself another week, so I apologize, and look,
Speaker 1: I have all these emails that have been neglected, and
Speaker 1: I got some business I need to take care of.
Speaker 1: Probably probably all right. Well, one thing that struck me,
Speaker 1: um news wise was that you know, okay, you know
Speaker 1: iced tea and cocoa, yes, like cocoa, saying she is
Speaker 1: still breastfeeding her daughter. I saw that, and she's like
Speaker 1: five five, Yes, she's five. So it sparked all of
Speaker 1: this talk about like is this normal? Is this oh
Speaker 1: what mom should be doing? Anyone saying that was normal?
Speaker 1: But I don't think I didn't. God, I think it's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's insane. If the baby can pull your titty out
Speaker 1: your bra it's a problem. Yeah. And if she can
Speaker 1: like run around and tell people I pulled mommys titty out,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, It's like it is all
Speaker 1: the way nasty. Now Icy did come out and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, the way me and Coco live our lives
Speaker 1: is not the way y'all might live your lives and
Speaker 1: do not. Um, but I think that you're setting your
Speaker 1: child up for let's see, um booby envy. Maybe. Now wait,
Speaker 1: now why does she explain? Like why she alright, first
Speaker 1: of all, like how often is it? Like, like why
Speaker 1: do you continue to do that? Is it because like
Speaker 1: it's a bonding thing. It's a bonding thing. Um, I
Speaker 1: mean I think at some point, well, I mean it's
Speaker 1: that's just that's just really weird. I think the daughter
Speaker 1: eventually pretty soon will probably stop, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like on her own, I think, like not want it anymore?
Speaker 1: And then how often do they do it? Is that
Speaker 1: like bedtime? Is it did? After I saw the headline
Speaker 1: and I read a little bit, I was disgusted, So
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that the particulars. And to
Speaker 1: be honest, so this might be t m I but
Speaker 1: like I breast fed for like, um six months my kids,
Speaker 1: but like my boobs to me are like more of
Speaker 1: a like a sexual thing, like for with you know,
Speaker 1: with my partner, Like I prefer to leave them for him.
Speaker 1: So I couldn't wait for my kids to get off
Speaker 1: my boots, you know, because I felt it felt kind
Speaker 1: of weird. I'm like, yeah, were my boobs, but this
Speaker 1: for some you know, yeah that was that was for
Speaker 1: daddy kids. Yes, So I couldn't wait for them together.
Speaker 1: It was It was very painful for me to breastfeed,
Speaker 1: like that whole latching on thing hurt so bad that
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to do this. I remember,
Speaker 1: I will never forget my mother. So I was trying
Speaker 1: to breastfeed the twins so you can ima engine. I
Speaker 1: had one on one breast and the other on the
Speaker 1: other breast at the same time. Like football's and she
Speaker 1: was like, um, and I think I was crying while
Speaker 1: I was doing this, and she looks at me and
Speaker 1: she's like, is this working for you? And I said no,
Speaker 1: it's horrible. So she was like, we're done with this.
Speaker 1: Don't do this right, So she literally like went to
Speaker 1: the store got infamale or semilac whatever that stuff formula,
Speaker 1: and I was it was it was a right, it was.
Speaker 1: Girls are beautiful, smart, intelligent, athletic, you know, fully grown.
Speaker 1: So I be. I mean, I know a lot of
Speaker 1: women that is something that they feel pressured to do
Speaker 1: is to breast feed because that's you know, that's the healthy,
Speaker 1: natural thing to do. Um. But if you if it's
Speaker 1: if it's difficult and it's causing you pain, I mean
Speaker 1: there I think everyone's going to go through, like the
Speaker 1: pain because there's like a rawness and all that. But
Speaker 1: like if it's excruciating and uncomfortable, don't stress yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: feat yourself up if you can't do it, and it's fine.
Speaker 1: And if you can do it, like cocoa, I think
Speaker 1: eighteen months is to cut off. Eighteen months to two years,
Speaker 1: that's to cut off. Yes, okay, so I I was.
Speaker 1: I was on the Twitter, not the Twitter. I was
Speaker 1: on the Instagram, and I saw Lallapalooza right, and I
Speaker 1: saw like the festival music festival. It was a big
Speaker 1: music festival in Chicago. It was like two people. And
Speaker 1: so I was as I was watching it, watching the
Speaker 1: clips from and I was like, clearly this was like
Speaker 1: I'm thinking this was like two three years ago. No,
Speaker 1: this was like the other day and and like rolling
Speaker 1: out loud and all these what happened to the COVID,
Speaker 1: y'all forgot COVID exists? They forgot. But I was actually
Speaker 1: all my way here and I've heard a news repoint
Speaker 1: they said there's in Chicago there there are two hundred
Speaker 1: plus COVID new COVID cases that they are linking to
Speaker 1: Lalla Palosa. So imagine if they have those two hundred
Speaker 1: that they are aware of, how many more there are
Speaker 1: because people might be asymptom asymptomatic or something like yes.
Speaker 1: And there was reported that was reporting on how they
Speaker 1: were checking your quote vaccine vaccination car at the door
Speaker 1: and it was like like you literally at the show
Speaker 1: a piece like you could just show a white card,
Speaker 1: just like a white pie. Just hold up a paper
Speaker 1: and a and you got in right now. It was
Speaker 1: outdoor though, right, yes, okay, I mean honestly I did.
Speaker 1: So I went to Miami in the midst of moving.
Speaker 1: I went to Miami last weekend and I you know,
Speaker 1: we were down there, you know, walking around with that
Speaker 1: our masks and stuff, and and at some point I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is like not feeling right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm like, let me start putting my mask back on,
Speaker 1: because you know, you hear about the cases creeping up,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, we're vaccinated, but we still don't want
Speaker 1: to pass it on to other people who aren't. UM,
Speaker 1: and it just started not feeling right. So hopefully people
Speaker 1: kind of I know, we're all sick of the pandemic, um,
Speaker 1: but hopefully we start taking it more a little more serious.
Speaker 1: And these young people like the Lallapalooza, the rolling out loud,
Speaker 1: we're rolling loud whatever, rolling whatever whatever that was. Think. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, y'all have to be very aware that like
Speaker 1: this new variant is it seems like it is targeted
Speaker 1: towards the young people. UM, So everybody has to be
Speaker 1: very very careful. It's super contagious and then you know,
Speaker 1: sadly we're hearing about people you know that we um
Speaker 1: you know Candice's music producer who was not vaccinated and
Speaker 1: passed away from rest in peace, Chuckie Thompson. It's it's
Speaker 1: not gone, y'all. It's not it's not. One of my
Speaker 1: line sisters is struggling right now. She's in the ICU. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you did. This is not the time to like let
Speaker 1: go of our safety precautions vaccinated that. I've been asking
Speaker 1: that and nobody wants to give me a straight answer.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna leave that alone. Okay. Now, we
Speaker 1: have been traveling and I've been seeing I've been like
Speaker 1: hyper aware of the people that have been acting crazy
Speaker 1: on these airplanes. Okay, I don't understand. Okay, so this
Speaker 1: is okay, So let's be clear. There are people on
Speaker 1: airplanes that are losing their minds. The last report I
Speaker 1: saw the man had to be duct taped to his seat.
Speaker 1: Duct tape why because he was screaming and yelling, he
Speaker 1: was going off. I think he hit a flight attendant.
Speaker 1: He did something, and it was to the point where
Speaker 1: the whole plane was like, yeah, duct tape his ass,
Speaker 1: Like nobody wanted him like his mouth everything that though. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. Okay, So he was drunk. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I feel like there should be a band of
Speaker 1: alcohol in airports until people act like they got some sense. See,
Speaker 1: I was going to say, I think it's because the
Speaker 1: airplanes aren't serving alcohol anymore that people are acting crazy. No.
Speaker 1: I was on the plane recently. I'm like, Dan, can
Speaker 1: I get some fodka or something? And they're like no,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry what I wanted to be mad? I was
Speaker 1: like no, so I wanted to bust the window open
Speaker 1: because I couldn't get some alcohol. Like that's why people
Speaker 1: are mad alcohol. And people are mad because they're going
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo wing spot in the airport and they're
Speaker 1: getting totally like hammered and getting on the plane. But
Speaker 1: that's nothing new. That is nothing new, So why is it?
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I don't know, but I think
Speaker 1: it was like did he not want to wear his
Speaker 1: mask or something. It probably was that, like he didn't
Speaker 1: have the little clip that I saw, he did not
Speaker 1: have a mask on. It's probably what it was. They
Speaker 1: probably like, sir, you need to wear a mask, and
Speaker 1: he's like miss and then he's drunk. And then when
Speaker 1: you're drunk like robbin, what did he says, you're infringing
Speaker 1: with my freedom? Yes, but I was just so happy
Speaker 1: that they don't. I didn't know they had duct tape
Speaker 1: on planes all for the purposes of duct taking people
Speaker 1: the seats. That's you just sit in there like stuck
Speaker 1: and you're feeling like an asshole. Like you imagine, I
Speaker 1: would literally be taking pictures of this person, like everyone,
Speaker 1: this is the thing. Okay, So when someone acts up
Speaker 1: on your next flight and their duct tape to the
Speaker 1: to the seat, every person on place, your walk up
Speaker 1: to the person and take a picture of them. Just
Speaker 1: make him feel like a bigger asshole, right, like right,
Speaker 1: take a selfie with him. Look at me at the asshole.
Speaker 1: He was screaming that his parents had two million dollars.
Speaker 1: My parents got two million dollars. Y'all can't do this
Speaker 1: to me. Give me your money, right, Oh yes, we
Speaker 1: can watch and change. That was a bad. So I
Speaker 1: just want to ask for people to get themselves together
Speaker 1: before they get them on these planes. And I want
Speaker 1: the allowance to serve alcohol again, Yes, because I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know about you robbing. But I don't sit
Speaker 1: in the same cabin as my kids. My kids with
Speaker 1: me and my children travel, they sit in a different
Speaker 1: cabin than me, and so if they're back there, I
Speaker 1: want to make sure a safe that they're okay yet
Speaker 1: to my brother, we were when we were in Portland
Speaker 1: and we were flying home at the same time, and
Speaker 1: I was in first class and I bought my brother
Speaker 1: a coach ticket, and he thought I was like the
Speaker 1: worst person in the world. Know, It's like, you are
Speaker 1: so me you. I'm like, I'm sorry, at least I
Speaker 1: bought you as a ticket, right and if and if
Speaker 1: he had a problem, he could upgrade his damn sound
Speaker 1: right exactly. But he was so he was so salty.
Speaker 1: I was funny. Yeah, my kids don't know the difference,
Speaker 1: so they just go right on back there and get
Speaker 1: your life hilarious. We do have to shout out our
Speaker 1: girl re Re also known as Rihanna, miss fenty Money
Speaker 1: now bill money Bag. So I mean, how does I
Speaker 1: just you know, when they did the headline that Rihanna
Speaker 1: is now a billionaire, I wanted to know, like who
Speaker 1: calculated the money? Like how does that go down? Right?
Speaker 1: Because it's the same thing because you know, remember when
Speaker 1: they said, um, Kylie Jenner was a billionaire, and then
Speaker 1: they came back and was like, yeah, there was like no,
Speaker 1: we fabricated. Yeah, they like took it back. So it's like, right,
Speaker 1: what are they what are they basing that off of?
Speaker 1: I think it's like the valuation. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: really think it's like, oh, she has a billion dollars
Speaker 1: in her pocket, right, It's like the valuation of their
Speaker 1: companies and the worth of their companies. So they're basing
Speaker 1: it on, you know, whatever public information that companies of
Speaker 1: that size have to disclose. It's her company of publicly
Speaker 1: publicly traded company. Probably not, I don't, I doubt it,
Speaker 1: but the matter of fact that she's gotten there, she's well,
Speaker 1: how old is she thirty something something? Younger than us?
Speaker 1: That's just black excellence, black girl magic. She's younger than
Speaker 1: us and richer than us. And that's I guess that's
Speaker 1: amazing because that's like, you know, I assume a bulk
Speaker 1: of that came from the makeup and and from her
Speaker 1: lingerie lingerie, But I think the makeup is what kind
Speaker 1: of like drove the rest of everything, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, so, I mean same thing. If you
Speaker 1: look at Kylie Jenner, where where does she make her
Speaker 1: money her makeup? Like that is? But everybody keep you know,
Speaker 1: everybody for years has been like when is Rihanna coming
Speaker 1: out with more music? Guess what? Guess what? She don't
Speaker 1: have any to do that again in her life, right
Speaker 1: because that is a grinds And you know, artist, you know,
Speaker 1: I correct me if I'm wrong someone. But I feel
Speaker 1: like they make their money on tour more like that's
Speaker 1: where they really make their bread. And I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: touring it looks exhausting to me, do you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta be in it right constantly on
Speaker 1: the road, you know, Just it's exhausting, it's physically demanding,
Speaker 1: it's it could be lonely, you know. So shoot, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: If I'm Rihanna, Okay, I might make a song or two,
Speaker 1: but I might not listen. If I'm Rihanna and I
Speaker 1: got a billion in my pocket, I'm not. I'm sitting
Speaker 1: on the couch, y'all. I'm here to tell you. Couch
Speaker 1: is my name, my friend. I would I would love
Speaker 1: to hear some new Rihanna music, though I know I
Speaker 1: know re read if you don't mind. Um. Okay, So
Speaker 1: someone is calling me to asked me to extend my
Speaker 1: car warranty. Have you done that yet? Have you extendish
Speaker 1: your car warranty? You know I haven't? Should I I mean,
Speaker 1: make these people stop calling you? All right, Well, we
Speaker 1: would like to share with you guys today on this
Speaker 1: episode some you know we we have told you guys
Speaker 1: a lot about our background, where we came from, all
Speaker 1: that good stuff. But we've had Robin and I have
Speaker 1: had so many jobs in our life and none of
Speaker 1: it got us to where we are now. But this
Speaker 1: episode is called jobs are Us? Okay, So Robin, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let you start with with the job because I
Speaker 1: think yours are a little bit more hilarious than my.
Speaker 1: My minor straightforward Robin's are not okay, so gosh, and
Speaker 1: I'd run down all of them. I mean, I don't know. Okay.
Speaker 1: So when I was in high school, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: admit I didn't want for anything, like you know, my
Speaker 1: parents gave me everything, a brand new car, I had
Speaker 1: money in my pocket, clothes, whatever. But I decided, like, no,
Speaker 1: I want to work, right, I mean, who like what
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I guess a lot of
Speaker 1: teeny was Yes, I'm sure she gets everything from you. Yes,
Speaker 1: but she's working and can I just I don't mean
Speaker 1: to interrupt you. She gave me her first paycheck and
Speaker 1: she gave it to me to putting her a little
Speaker 1: bank account, and it was like two hundred three two
Speaker 1: three dollars or something. She was so excited and um,
Speaker 1: she felt empowered, right, So it wasn't about the fact
Speaker 1: that it was two hundred dollars, it was it was
Speaker 1: about it was her. She worked for it, she earned it,
Speaker 1: and it made her feel like she's growing up. Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I I chose to work on my own. My
Speaker 1: parents didn't forced me to. I was just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I want a job. So I worked. My first job
Speaker 1: was at a cafe at a swimming pool. So it
Speaker 1: was in the summertime, nice and I worked in the cafe.
Speaker 1: I made burgers, wings, grilled chicken sandwiches, mazza relisted French
Speaker 1: fries and I was it was so crazy because the
Speaker 1: food was really good, like really really good. So I
Speaker 1: worked so it was like you know, a little kitchen
Speaker 1: job and we did it all from you know, opening
Speaker 1: and closing and cleaning and cooking and nice and charges
Speaker 1: and all that type of it was. It was hard work.
Speaker 1: My cousin's husband owned a catering business at the time,
Speaker 1: so he was kind of like behind, like the management
Speaker 1: of it. So it was kind of good to like
Speaker 1: work for a family member. But I had a lot
Speaker 1: of responsibility and I kind of learned to cook. You know,
Speaker 1: Oh nice, you got some skills. So you were like
Speaker 1: flipping burgers, flipping burgers. You were taking the chicken wings
Speaker 1: and like putting them in the Yes, how old were you? Um?
Speaker 1: I was in high school, so I probably was like
Speaker 1: going into my senior year of high school the summertime,
Speaker 1: you know what it was at a summer pool, like
Speaker 1: sixteen yeah, okay, sixteen seventeen, Okay, that's the process. Yes,
Speaker 1: So that one was good, you know, that's just and
Speaker 1: that really helped me appreciate how difficult it is to
Speaker 1: work in a kitchen, you know, whether it's you know,
Speaker 1: at McDonald's or at a five star restaurant, like, it's
Speaker 1: that thing. It's hard work, yes, sign a gang. So
Speaker 1: I definitely appreciated that. So then I worked at Northstrom. Okay,
Speaker 1: in the shoot apartment. Nice hard work. Okay, so the
Speaker 1: women that come into their feet stay, you know, not
Speaker 1: really know um and you know, and I would have
Speaker 1: to do the whole like putting the shoes on the people.
Speaker 1: Really yes, But in Nordstrom, I really appreciated my experience
Speaker 1: at Nortrom because they're really big on customer service, at
Speaker 1: least when I was there, and I just learned a
Speaker 1: lot about dealing with customers going like above and beyond,
Speaker 1: you know, so it's like okay, whenever, So first shoe,
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, if someone asked for once, you you
Speaker 1: go back and come back and bring them for yes,
Speaker 1: or you know, when you're checking them out, like don't
Speaker 1: hand in the bag across the counter. You gotta walk
Speaker 1: around the counter and hand them the bag. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: do do that. That's all we were We were taught
Speaker 1: to do that. Yes, that's part of the customer service things.
Speaker 1: So so working in or from almost spoiled me when
Speaker 1: I would go to other stores because I'm looking for
Speaker 1: that same type of customer service and you're not getting it.
Speaker 1: I'm not getting it. And if I go to a
Speaker 1: northstroom and like the sales people don't walk up to
Speaker 1: me and say like hi. So first of all, they're like, okay,
Speaker 1: if someone comes in your department, walk out to them
Speaker 1: and say hi, could I help you? Walk away? Like So,
Speaker 1: I'm as a customer who has worked at North Room,
Speaker 1: when I walk into a North Room, I'm expecting the
Speaker 1: salesperson to greet me, like right away. I'm expecting them
Speaker 1: to like walk around the counter to hand me my bag,
Speaker 1: like I'm expecting the stuff. So I will now today
Speaker 1: as a shopper, if I walk into a section in
Speaker 1: North Room and they don't greet me, I'm taking my
Speaker 1: purchase to the next part, Like I'm going to walk across,
Speaker 1: you know, to another department and I'm just waiting whoever

Speaker 1: in as Robin Dixon and it's not an issue. I
Speaker 1: mean I still see it. I Mean I'm like always
Speaker 1: amazed that like people who really just want to stand
Speaker 1: behind the counter and not do their job, you know,
Speaker 1: but working in the shoe department at North Room So
Speaker 1: I work in Towson Town Center and the shoot department
Speaker 1: was two levels, so it was like you had to
Speaker 1: go upstairs, up and down. I literally I would come
Speaker 1: home from work and I'm like, I'd work that job
Speaker 1: mostly throughout my time in college. I can't remember how
Speaker 1: many different years, at least like over the course of
Speaker 1: probably three or four years. Oh, I felt like an
Speaker 1: old person, Like I was literally a college student and
Speaker 1: I was literally because you had to walk up and
Speaker 1: down the stairs. It was it was work NonStop, back
Speaker 1: and forth, up and down all around. That was hard work.
Speaker 1: Um let's see. So I worked, so that was like
Speaker 1: all throughout college. Um. Then I would say my first
Speaker 1: job out of college was for Otis Elevator. What the
Speaker 1: hell is that Otis Elevator. Yeah, when you get on
Speaker 1: the elevator, you look down and says Otis, Like, all
Speaker 1: the are you selling elevators? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous, right right, that's real cute, right. I
Speaker 1: mean I had a I saw, I had a business degree.

Speaker 1: the maintenance plan of elevators. So like you know, they
Speaker 1: sell like service plans, you know, they like, okay, if
Speaker 1: you have an elevator, you wanted to be serviced every
Speaker 1: you know, quarter or whatever. So I worked in that department.
Speaker 1: Now this was I can't remember what year it was,
Speaker 1: but I didn't really enjoy that job. Okay, okay, and
Speaker 1: Aliyah died in a plane crash. Okay, and like the
Speaker 1: next day I went back to work and I was like,
Speaker 1: um Alia died in a plane plane crash, and life
Speaker 1: is too short. I quit, Like you should just told
Speaker 1: them that you quit. Not blame it on Aliyah, who
Speaker 1: you don't know and her death, this is the worst.
Speaker 1: But I was so like I was distraught by her
Speaker 1: her death, like like I was so messed up from that,
Speaker 1: and it was like damn because she's she pretty much
Speaker 1: were like the same age and so seeing her, she
Speaker 1: was so beautiful, so talented, and just seeing her gone
Speaker 1: like that, like it was just like I just really,
Speaker 1: I'm like life is too short, Like I'm not I
Speaker 1: cannot sit here, life is too short. I cannot work
Speaker 1: for y'all normal because I really don't like this job.
Speaker 1: I hate this job, but I'm not going to do
Speaker 1: something that I hate. Okay. That was like Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: was about nine months. I stayed it for nine months. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: then did you get a job after that? Well? I
Speaker 1: worked for my mom. Okay, very good. And your mom

Speaker 1: gonna find out your favorite job. Favorite let's hone this
Speaker 1: in gosh, I mean okay, so all right, I work
Speaker 1: for mom. I like working for my mom because I
Speaker 1: can do what I want, clearly. But she didn't really
Speaker 1: pay me that much. So she gave birth to you.
Speaker 1: That was payment enough. That's what I tell my kids.
Speaker 1: Y'all have food. I will be honest, Like, I liked
Speaker 1: working in Nordstrom really, and I think that the fact
Speaker 1: that I have an online business and you crims business
Speaker 1: and I'm selling stuff, I think that like I think
Speaker 1: it's like tied together. Like I like to sell stuff,
Speaker 1: So I think that it once you get em balancet
Speaker 1: your hats in north Stroom, that's like total full sure
Speaker 1: is Yeah, so we got to make that happen. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: So none of your jobs prepared you for where you
Speaker 1: are today. Um, I would say they all prepared me,
Speaker 1: David didn't prepare you for the real house. While tell me, okay, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: nothing prepared for that. I got like a couple more. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. I worked at under Armour. Okay
Speaker 1: that I remember that, in the corporate office at under Armour.
Speaker 1: And um, I'll tell you why I worked there. So
Speaker 1: Woma was in the NBA. He played for the Wizards.
Speaker 1: I really didn't need to work. But I wanted to work,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And I wanted to get
Speaker 1: like I needed like a break from him, you know,
Speaker 1: a break from the boo. Yes, I just needed to
Speaker 1: be like our house. I wasn't like always available, right,
Speaker 1: So I went and got me a full time job
Speaker 1: on the armor working in their sales department for like
Speaker 1: their big box store. So like I would do like
Speaker 1: the reporting for like, oh, how many units were sold
Speaker 1: at Dicks. And the one thing that frustrated me about
Speaker 1: that job, like I would do all the reporting. I
Speaker 1: would gather the data and I would give it to like,
Speaker 1: you know, the managers or whatever, and then they would
Speaker 1: have these big meetings, big sales meetings, and they would
Speaker 1: never include me, and I just I felt like, if
Speaker 1: I'm putting these reports together, it would be nice to
Speaker 1: know how they're being utilized, you know, and so that
Speaker 1: I can you know, maybe improve upon the reports or
Speaker 1: so I can learn something. And so, yeah, I quit
Speaker 1: that job. Robin was not included in the meetings. So
Speaker 1: she quit, y'all. This this is this is a recurring
Speaker 1: theme here. That was like eight months. That's the one thing.
Speaker 1: If I don't you, I didn't eight months. Okay, So
Speaker 1: now eight nine months is like your threshold. After that,
Speaker 1: that's when I'm like, it's not working right, right, right,
Speaker 1: right exactly. So then I spent you know, we got married,
Speaker 1: and I spent a number of years as a housewife.
Speaker 1: I didn't work. I did Oh, this is probably my
Speaker 1: favorite job working for the PR company. Yes, you know,
Speaker 1: I did work on a contractual basis or a project
Speaker 1: basis for a PR company, like doing event planning, which
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. Like that was probably like
Speaker 1: that did not feel like work to me, but it
Speaker 1: was a lot of work, you know. Yes, my friend
Speaker 1: Aba owns a very like respectable, accomplished, successful PR agency,
Speaker 1: luxury PR agency in d C. And so she would
Speaker 1: have some of the most you know, top of the
Speaker 1: line clients and we would throw some of the most
Speaker 1: fabulous parties and stuff. So I but didn't invite me
Speaker 1: to any of these parties. But that's not the point
Speaker 1: of the story. Yes, okay, So do you feel like
Speaker 1: all of that, all of the year jobs have taught
Speaker 1: you something? Oh? Yeah, absolutely, I mean just from like
Speaker 1: I said, from Norston with the customer service element, from
Speaker 1: the jobs that I quit to know, like what didn't
Speaker 1: work for me or what I would want more from
Speaker 1: a job. The PR job, it's like you're balancing so
Speaker 1: many moving parts at one time, working in events and
Speaker 1: PR and having so many clients, and you know, I
Speaker 1: remember one time I had like six major major events
Speaker 1: in like the same month, and it was like I
Speaker 1: was like pulling my hair out because it's just so
Speaker 1: many moving parts. And so now it's like I'm more
Speaker 1: like my own boss, but I am juggling so many
Speaker 1: different things. But you've done that before, so you know
Speaker 1: how to get that done right exactly. That's nice. My
Speaker 1: dad told me, like I think I was like probably
Speaker 1: a baby, that his money was his money, and um,
Speaker 1: I didn't have any money until I got a job,
Speaker 1: so um, I had to get up out there and
Speaker 1: get like now, mind you, I don't want to like say,
Speaker 1: my parents didn't like ted toe like give me everything
Speaker 1: under the sun, similar to you. I like, you know,
Speaker 1: I had everything I wanted, but my dad was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is my money. So um. Which was fifteen. So
Speaker 1: I decided to get a job at like fifteen. But
Speaker 1: that was like the best thing he could have ever
Speaker 1: like taught me. And I try to instill that in
Speaker 1: my kids, but they'd be getting over I'd just be
Speaker 1: behind him everything. Um but anyway, so at fifteen, I
Speaker 1: went out and got a job at heart Ease. That
Speaker 1: was my first job, best eating up in town, up
Speaker 1: and down all around. I think that's the slogan. I
Speaker 1: don't know I made that up. So um, they realized
Speaker 1: I was fifteen, like after the first week and they
Speaker 1: were like, girl, you're too young. You can't work here
Speaker 1: because it was like some child labor law. I thought
Speaker 1: I could. They were like your fire And I got
Speaker 1: fired from my first job in like five days. Okay.
Speaker 1: So then um, I worked at chest Peake Bay seafood House,
Speaker 1: which was like all you can eat spot. So it
Speaker 1: was like they don't have these anymore, I don't think,
Speaker 1: but like you pay a certain price and you can
Speaker 1: get everything on the in you and so like you
Speaker 1: had the waitress has to like run back to the
Speaker 1: to the kitchen every eight seconds. Oh my god. And
Speaker 1: people used to ask me, like, our your shoes comfortable
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be running the night gairl are yousues comfortable?
Speaker 1: I said, now I can't do this. I quick right
Speaker 1: after that was about four days okay. So then I
Speaker 1: started working for Postal Pizza, which was like equivalent to
Speaker 1: like a domino. Okay. So I was the girl that
Speaker 1: answered the phone. I was like, hello, Postal Pizza, can
Speaker 1: I help you please? And I would take their order okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and then the drivers will come and get the pizza
Speaker 1: and drive it out. So I would literally have five
Speaker 1: phones in front of me and they would all be
Speaker 1: ringing at the same time, and I was the only
Speaker 1: girl there to answer, and I'd be like, Postal Pizza,
Speaker 1: can you hold on please click pst Pizza? What you
Speaker 1: need post Pizza? Postal Pizza. It was a mess. So
Speaker 1: sometimes my dad would like prank me. He would call
Speaker 1: and he'd be like he talked real slowly, Giselle, she'll Dad,
Speaker 1: So I've been on a hole for thirty five minutes
Speaker 1: and I don't understand why I have to wait this long.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Dad, leave me alone, Leave me alone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was like, I just wanted to hear you say
Speaker 1: supposed to pizza. Gne please. My dad is the worst, Okay.
Speaker 1: So I stayed there like throughout high school and and
Speaker 1: out there, you know, and if I had to leave
Speaker 1: for a month and come back. They would let me
Speaker 1: do it. They were like cool. Then I worked at
Speaker 1: Bridges Great Outdoors for Women. Remember Bridges. Bridges was like
Speaker 1: a clothing store and they had several lines, so like
Speaker 1: there was the Bridges for Men, which was like high end,
Speaker 1: and then they had the Great Outdoors, which was like polo,
Speaker 1: and then they had the women's line. And I worked
Speaker 1: at that store and they were like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you're amazing. Can you like not go to college and
Speaker 1: like stay here and run run this little store? No, bitches.
Speaker 1: I got an education, I got to get like no,
Speaker 1: but they also let me like come back for college
Speaker 1: and work there like over um Christmas break and you know,
Speaker 1: whenever I had breaks. Okay. So then my dad was
Speaker 1: like all right, Gezel. You know he thought I was
Speaker 1: going to be like, um super smart and um be
Speaker 1: like a doctor or something. I don't know what do
Speaker 1: you So he was like, I'm gonna get yourself some internships. Okay.
Speaker 1: So one of the internships was when I told you
Speaker 1: all before I was doing autopsies yeah, on dead bodies,
Speaker 1: which was insane, Like why am I doing this? Like
Speaker 1: this is this is not even fit. I am like
Speaker 1: a cute girl. Okay, what am I doing cutting up bodies? Okay?
Speaker 1: That was a hot mess. Um, So I stopped doing that.
Speaker 1: And then eventually when I got out of college, I
Speaker 1: worked for the Double A CP and I started doing
Speaker 1: their events. So I like you, I understand like how
Speaker 1: you have eight hundred balls in the air for events,
Speaker 1: but they all like have to come together and it's
Speaker 1: not like it's hard, but you have to do everything
Speaker 1: or else the whole thing to fall apart. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a lot. And so then that's where I got to
Speaker 1: meet like President Clinton and Hillary Clinton, and because we
Speaker 1: I had to interface with politicians and corporations and it
Speaker 1: was like that was a great job, Like I love
Speaker 1: that job and it was like not work for me exactly,
Speaker 1: so that that was fantastic. And then I um did
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical sales. Okay, so I was like paid drug dealer.
Speaker 1: Oh and those doctors love to see you in the door.
Speaker 1: There was like zails here is that this is a thing.
Speaker 1: All of the pharmaceutical sales reps are good looking, all
Speaker 1: of them, like p that's I think the criteria. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pay you well. We got paid well,
Speaker 1: like our car um things aren't like they used to be,
Speaker 1: because like I used to be able to take my doctor,
Speaker 1: like one I had a doctor. She was like real crazy.
Speaker 1: She was like, let's go to the strip club, right.
Speaker 1: I used to take her to the strip club. I'll
Speaker 1: probably get me or the fece men there was men dance.
Speaker 1: I would take her to the strip club. And at
Speaker 1: the strip club, you could get a receipt. Because I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to get reimbursed. You can get a receipt
Speaker 1: that's blank, so at the top it doesn't say it's
Speaker 1: it's very generic. What the name is like restaurant exactly,
Speaker 1: and then you know that way. And because clearly I'm
Speaker 1: not the only person get trying to get reimbursed, and
Speaker 1: they've done this before, they know how to do this.
Speaker 1: So I would ask for the special receipt, and um,
Speaker 1: they knew exactly what I was talking about. And I
Speaker 1: used to take doctor. That was her name. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: make that. Shouldn't have said that. It was a lot
Speaker 1: of doctor. Yeah, we would go to the strip club.
Speaker 1: We would have a ball. Okay, I'd be like, Drake
Speaker 1: saw me where to strip us that let's get the dollars.
Speaker 1: Let's make it rain. This is before to make it rain.
Speaker 1: So you're the reason they cut back on that, because
Speaker 1: I know they cut all that mess back. Oh they
Speaker 1: don't do that anymore. Yeah, this I was a pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: rap in the good old days when you could literally
Speaker 1: like take your doctor anywhere and it was fine. You can,
Speaker 1: you can just like write it off. So they quit
Speaker 1: that because I I ruined it for everyone. I had
Speaker 1: a job running um like the meetings, the dinner meetings
Speaker 1: for pharmaceutical um companies. Yes, and they hired out. They
Speaker 1: hired this company that I worked for for compliance reasons
Speaker 1: because the reps would be like so out of control.
Speaker 1: So I would be there um just kind of like
Speaker 1: making sure everything was above board. Oh wow, it was
Speaker 1: like the wild wild West back then. But if you
Speaker 1: knew a drug wrap and let's say you needed drugs, right,
Speaker 1: you know, over the counter drugs, you would just you
Speaker 1: would swap out like he had. I was orthor McNeil.
Speaker 1: If you had a five A rap, you swap out
Speaker 1: some drugs. I saw birth control pills. Everybody was looking
Speaker 1: for me because everybody wanted birth control pills for their girlfriend.
Speaker 1: So you know, it was definitely wrong what we were
Speaker 1: doing right, but we have fun. Yes, yeah, y'all ruined.
Speaker 1: Y'all ruined it for everybody. Y'all have ruined it. Now
Speaker 1: they're like so strict, so you can't you can't do anything.
Speaker 1: And then I got married and I helped my husband
Speaker 1: build his business, which was you know, the church. And
Speaker 1: then um My last like job that I really liked
Speaker 1: was when I was making like cookies and cupcakes. I
Speaker 1: had sweetches out. It was such a a little bakery
Speaker 1: at the spot or something. Yes, I would sell it
Speaker 1: at um Lord, I forgot the Timothy Dean Timothy Dean, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and I was Timothy Dean had a has a bistro
Speaker 1: and I would sell like the cupcakes and cookies at
Speaker 1: the b stro So I would make everything there. It's
Speaker 1: very labor intensive, but I loved it. Yes, I feel
Speaker 1: like you should get back into that. I think so too,
Speaker 1: when I get a little bit more time on my hands. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but I can say that all of that helped form
Speaker 1: who I am today. I really got to thank my
Speaker 1: dad because my dad was like I didn't get it
Speaker 1: at the time, but he wanted to make sure that
Speaker 1: I had all of these things under my belt. It's
Speaker 1: just like resources that I can pull from, and now
Speaker 1: I know I can do anything. I can do any
Speaker 1: job that you give me, because I've done a million things. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about side hustles that I picked
Speaker 1: up because and this might be helpful for people listening,
Speaker 1: like if you're looking for some extra money, because I
Speaker 1: definitely went through a time when I literally had like
Speaker 1: fifty million side hustles because you know, while and I
Speaker 1: were going through our financial troubles and I was just
Speaker 1: trying to find any of every way to make money.
Speaker 1: So one of them was, um focus groups. What is that?
Speaker 1: Focus groups? Like? There are you can sign up for
Speaker 1: focus groups. I literally got paid and this is like
Speaker 1: you know, I got paid like two dollars for someone
Speaker 1: to come and watch you make a salad because like,
Speaker 1: you know, they're doing their research. So this is so
Speaker 1: companies have focus groups to do research on like consumer
Speaker 1: behavior or never heard of this? Yeah, girl, So if
Speaker 1: you're looking at like I still I keep unsubscribing to
Speaker 1: these emails, but I still get the emails of you know,
Speaker 1: these companies that are looking for people to participate in
Speaker 1: their focus group about yes yes, yes, yes yes, Okay
Speaker 1: now I know exactly what you're talking about, right, so
Speaker 1: they can figure out the best way to sell their
Speaker 1: products exactly. Yes, whatever it is. Yeah, I would do
Speaker 1: multiple focus groups. You know, you get a quick hundred
Speaker 1: hundred dollars here, two hundred there, you know. So for
Speaker 1: for people who are like you know, trying to find
Speaker 1: you know, little small ways to make extra money, just
Speaker 1: google focus groups. Like and you were selling your clothes,
Speaker 1: not selling your clothes, but you were doing so assignment. Well, okay, eBay,
Speaker 1: I had a I had a boom in eBay business.
Speaker 1: We sold I had want We had so much Louis
Speaker 1: Vuitton luggage. And the good thing about that stuff is
Speaker 1: that it holds its value, you know. So I made
Speaker 1: a lot of money on eBay. So but even not
Speaker 1: even you know, you don't have to just sell like
Speaker 1: you know, designer stuff on eBay or consignment places. You
Speaker 1: can sell like little Nike, your your kids, it's closed whatever, shoes, everything,
Speaker 1: So that right there is a hustle in itself. Yes,
Speaker 1: another one. My friend Carly and I okay, Carl, Carly
Speaker 1: is always here with us, Okay. Now she's director of Operations,
Speaker 1: Yes she has a title. She demanded to get a title.
Speaker 1: She's the director of operations. And don't you get it twisted? Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: what about Carly? So Carly and I we sold jewelry.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, and we literally have it. Like we
Speaker 1: we would go to the jewelry shows and buy jewelry
Speaker 1: from different jewelry vendors, and we would host jewelry parties.
Speaker 1: So or we will go, you know, if there's like
Speaker 1: an event, we would get a tape me because I've
Speaker 1: never been invited to a jewelry party. I guess you
Speaker 1: know what we may not have been. This is rude.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe I thought you weren't interested in that.
Speaker 1: You know what the fashion jewelry. Me and Robin are
Speaker 1: breaking up. You know, it's like a little forty Robbin
Speaker 1: is shady. But I'm telling you those type of businesses
Speaker 1: if you can like so jewelry. I honestly there's times
Speaker 1: when I'm like, I wanna, you know, have a jewelry website.
Speaker 1: I want to like start selling jewelry again, because that
Speaker 1: is like such an easy sell. Like we would go
Speaker 1: to a jewelry party and make like two dollars and
Speaker 1: one night. Yes, yes it was. Let's start this back
Speaker 1: up again. I want my cut. I want it right.
Speaker 1: So if it's so, we you know, we would be
Speaker 1: vendors at events and stuff like that. That was actually
Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed that. So I like to sell stuff.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so don't be surprised if I sell jewelry
Speaker 1: one day. But I'll be doing it too with Robin.
Speaker 1: Rom ain't gonna cut me out of this. This is
Speaker 1: good stuff, all right. So I so the I guess
Speaker 1: the purpose and the what we really want to get
Speaker 1: across to you guys is that whatever your job is today, like,
Speaker 1: you never know what tomorrow is gonna bring to you.
Speaker 1: You never know if this you might hate it and
Speaker 1: quit it in nine months like Robin does, but that
Speaker 1: still is gonna give you some umpen in a toolbox
Speaker 1: for like the next job exactly exactly. Or you know,
Speaker 1: you can have a job that you love but it's
Speaker 1: like running you rag it, which is fine because you
Speaker 1: love it, but you're still growing from it. I always say,
Speaker 1: I always think, like you know, when there's jobs that
Speaker 1: you love, maybe at some point figure out how you
Speaker 1: can venture out and be your own boss doing that,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're working for a company, really like it. Um,
Speaker 1: I think the next step up is to like venture
Speaker 1: out and be your own boss. I got one more job.
Speaker 1: I worked for our house furniture for like two weeks.
Speaker 1: I was as I'm mad at there might not because
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still waiting for me to come. The furniture
Speaker 1: is beautiful. I worked there for two weeks, like I
Speaker 1: like it, literally like two weeks of training, and then
Speaker 1: we started filming the real house. I was of atomic
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh I quit. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm busy, and at the same time I was working
Speaker 1: my pr event job. I was doing my like I
Speaker 1: would get my huston clearly us clearly. So sorry our
Speaker 1: house for quitting after two weeks of training. And I
Speaker 1: guess that's the purpose of our story. Get your hustle
Speaker 1: on word. Yes, yes, yes, so that is our episode today,
