Speaker 1: which has been.
Speaker 2: Around for you, It has been around forever, and that
Speaker 2: restaurant is good, so good. A Zoomie is great for sushi.

Speaker 1: Building, Yeah, right around the Four seasons. Gosh, there was
Speaker 1: a couple.
Speaker 2: I can't remember that these have Roy's back in the day. Gone, yeah,
Speaker 2: that would be my spots. Really, Oh my gosh, they

Speaker 1: I went to this Okay, go ahead, No, no, there's
Speaker 1: I wish I need to like look up the information.
Speaker 1: But there was a couple of like new restaurants that
Speaker 1: have been getting a lot of attention, and I can't
Speaker 1: remember them off the top of my head right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: but Baltimore always has some like really good just like
Speaker 1: small restaurants, you know, like these chefs that are just
Speaker 1: really good and they open these great restaurants.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so totally, yeah, you're in good hands. Definitely, just
Speaker 2: just I would recommend anybody go on their like little
Speaker 2: top restaurants like sites, like they're.
Speaker 1: Pretty on point. Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so she
Speaker 1: should do that for sure.
Speaker 2: So fourth of July. Yeah, any like, you know, I
Speaker 2: one hundred years ago, I got married on the fourth
Speaker 2: of July. Oh and so that for whatever reason, that's
Speaker 2: stuck with me. I'm married and divorced five times over
Speaker 2: where I still like I think about your wedding. No, no,
Speaker 2: I don't think about it at all. But it's just
Speaker 2: like that's the biggest thing that's ever happened on the
Speaker 2: fourth of July for me. Okay, and that was in
Speaker 2: Hawaii or something. Yes, that was in Hawaii. I was
Speaker 2: in Maui. So I recommend people don't get married on
Speaker 2: a holiday, right, because then you're stuck with it. Yeah
Speaker 2: that's true. Yeah, So don't do that. Don't do what
Speaker 2: Justelle did. Yeah that's true. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: just do it like a random day exact or one
Speaker 2: of those stupid like eleven eleven.
Speaker 1: But it makes it like easy for you to remember,
Speaker 1: you know, so like if you were still married.
Speaker 2: Yes, but I my memory is not that bad. Okay,
Speaker 2: I do have a very bad memory, but.
Speaker 1: A that dam you know, it's so crazy. I can remember,
Speaker 1: you know, one and I got married twice. I can't
Speaker 1: remember my the date of my first wedding July thirtieth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. I can't remember the date of
Speaker 1: my second wedding that was like the other day.
Speaker 2: You don't know the day, I can't, I don't. I
Speaker 2: think it was August twenty first. I'm not sure you
Speaker 2: got married two thousand five, do you know it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I got married two thousand and two. I thought you
Speaker 2: got married before me. M M okay, all right, never mind. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And you have no idea when the second marriage happened.
Speaker 2: It was August August something, sixteenth or something. I think
Speaker 2: it was the twenty the twenty first or twenty third.
Speaker 2: You know why, I don't. You know why.
Speaker 1: It's harder to remember because it was it was a
Speaker 1: small wedding. It was just us, and so it's like
Speaker 1: I didn't have that date. You know, it's you know,
Speaker 1: when you're planning like a big wedding, that date is
Speaker 1: major and so true. With a small wedding, it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: well we just got to show up. It was on
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. I know that.
Speaker 2: So what do you all acknowledge?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Which one? Which one do you all like? An anniversary?
Speaker 1: Oh? No, you know what we actually would acknowledge, Well,
Speaker 1: the most recent one, the one in August that you
Speaker 1: don't know the date, so you can't acknowledge it because
Speaker 1: you don't even know when.
Speaker 2: This is terrible, this conversation. I need to figure it out.
Speaker 1: But no, you know what we would actually acknowledge. We
Speaker 1: would acknowledge the date that we like first started dating.
Speaker 2: When we became like official boyfriend, girl, what date is that?
Speaker 2: January thirtieth? Okay, so we call that your anniversary? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And then I also remember the day we first had sex. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't want to know that date.
Speaker 2: Okay, I just don't. This is too much. Do you
Speaker 2: remember Wan's birthday?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay? Good? All right? You got way too many dates
Speaker 2: going on with you, right, so yeah, it make it
Speaker 2: makes it hard for you guys to have like Okay,
Speaker 2: we began the x X number of years, right, which
Speaker 2: one is it? Which date? Does not make it any
Speaker 2: sense to youre right? So I think we just count
Speaker 2: like from when we first started dating. And I.
Speaker 1: Know we had some breaks in the middle. Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 1: So how many years is that?

Speaker 2: like it was all about me and it was all

Speaker 2: other than each other, who do you love filming with? Oh?
Speaker 2: So we can talk about right jo Pee Like I
Speaker 2: love filming with obviously Robin, but like Ashley As she's
Speaker 2: always like fun, like you never know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 2: She's always like perky, She's always got something to say.
Speaker 2: She always has an opinion. Like it's terrible when you're
Speaker 2: feeling with somebody and they don't have an opinion. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: like it's tough. Yeah, yeah, or they don't want to Yeah.
Speaker 2: I experienced that recently.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so did I Yeah, like last week. So
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you got to have your own opinion.
Speaker 2: Otherwise, why are you even doing reality television because you're
Speaker 2: here to give your opinion exactly. Yeah. I remember when
Speaker 2: we first started and one of our producers was like,
Speaker 2: uh she she asked if something had happened in the scene,
Speaker 2: and she was like, well, just so you didn't give
Speaker 2: your opinion. I said, I don't have one. I don't
Speaker 2: give a shit. And she was like, you're here to
Speaker 2: give your opinion, right, And I was like, oh, yes, okay, fine,
Speaker 2: you're going to have one soon. Let me just think
Speaker 2: about it. But yeah, no, She's right, like, you can't
Speaker 2: just be on a show in front of the camera
Speaker 2: and just not give your opinion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that and that, honestly was probably that is
Speaker 1: one of the toughest parts about being on my show,
Speaker 1: like housewives, Yeah, because typically I really don't care what's
Speaker 1: going on in people's lives, you know. I mean I might,
Speaker 1: I might observe, and I might have an opinion, but
Speaker 1: I really don't care who's who, and you know, I.
Speaker 2: Want to talk about it. I want to be you
Speaker 2: know who who's broke or who's that. You know, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I typically don't care, but I understood that
Speaker 2: being on.
Speaker 1: When you sign up to be on a television show
Speaker 1: that is you know, about what's going on in people's lives,
Speaker 1: you have to care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to give your opinion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and actually always has an opinion no matter what.
Speaker 1: So yeah, she would be one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it does kind of suck when people want
Speaker 1: to err on the side of caution because they don't
Speaker 1: want to ruffle any feathers, they don't want to get
Speaker 1: criticized by the fans, or they don't want to upset someone,
Speaker 1: and it's like that's not fair because you're over here
Speaker 1: playing it's safe while other people are really trying to like,
Speaker 1: you know, do their jobs and carry the load of
Speaker 1: you know, talking about what's going on and pushing story
Speaker 1: you know, forward, keeping stuff moving. And when other people
Speaker 1: can just sit there and be like, oh, I'm just
Speaker 1: not going to say anything, it's like.
Speaker 2: Well, why are you here? Why are you here? You
Speaker 2: gotta listen, you gotta rise to the occasion, I actually
Speaker 2: loved and just because like she's a good key key
Speaker 2: I love filming a Porsche when we did Girls Trip
Speaker 2: because Porscha's are always going to have an opinion. She's
Speaker 2: typically extremely funny, and you know, it's it's just nice
Speaker 2: when you don't have to worry about like what's gonna
Speaker 2: happen in the scene. You're just like they're enjoying the ride. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah yeah, well that's that. That's that on
Speaker 2: that and then this Becky Becky Becca ae Becca yee.
Speaker 2: She said, look, y'all gotta work on y'all's handles. These
Speaker 2: Instagram names are hilarious. Listen. Yeah, she said, what is
Speaker 2: a Reality to TV moment you wish you could witness
Speaker 2: for the first time again? Oh so like okay again,
Speaker 2: So that would be something that we dealt with, well, no,
Speaker 2: like because we witness like I'm taking it all the
Speaker 2: way back to like Whitney and Bobby. Oh yeah, whenever
Speaker 2: every episode I'd be like, this is funny ship. I'd
Speaker 2: be like, oh my gosh, right, yeah, so, oh you
Speaker 2: know what, I'll be honest.
Speaker 1: Reality TV before social media and Twitter was out of control,
Speaker 1: was great.
Speaker 2: Totally.
Speaker 1: It's so different now, it's so different because everyone is
Speaker 1: just so afraid of being dragged by dragged on social media.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I just think about You could think
Speaker 1: about the first season of like any show, Real Housewives
Speaker 1: of Atlanta that was epic, classic, great TV. The first
Speaker 1: season of Basketball Wives, great classic TV. You know, you
Speaker 1: just think about all these shows in their very first seasons.
Speaker 1: They were just so much. It was they were just
Speaker 1: raw and people just like really for the most part,
Speaker 1: being their authentic selves. And now I just feel like
Speaker 1: everyone is a character for.
Speaker 2: The most Yea. Even when we were our first season,
Speaker 2: when we were at Old Anglers in I think it
Speaker 2: was like our season finale, Oh yeah, and Karen was
Speaker 2: like going off on Ashley and it was just like
Speaker 2: this was some funny ship.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: Those were some great moments, y'all. If you haven't seen it, y'all,
Speaker 2: shoul google it. It's like, yeah, one of the last
Speaker 2: episodes of season one of RHOP and Katie was acting crazy.
Speaker 2: You were acting crazy. I'm dying laughing, Karen is and
Speaker 2: Karen had like a read that she had rehearsed over
Speaker 2: and over again in the mirror, and she was so
Speaker 2: excited to come and tell you Ashley like it was.
Speaker 2: It was amazing, something about pro pro creating. I was like,
Speaker 2: what is she saying? I don't remember Shares being there
Speaker 2: though she was there.
Speaker 1: She was there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, it was. It was classic. So yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right, like the first seasons is just like good stuff, first.
Speaker 1: Handful of seasons and then it just you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know it goesople were just like a shell of themselves.
Speaker 2: I was It's funny.
Speaker 1: I was speak into a Roney person, an older Roney
Speaker 1: person of New York. Yeah, House of New York, and
Speaker 1: they were talking about how, you know, on their show
Speaker 1: years ago, like they never did their makeup to show
Speaker 1: up to film.
Speaker 2: You know, they just right, we saw it.
Speaker 1: But I appreciated that actually when I would watch them,
Speaker 1: like I'm like, okay, I'm really watching these women in
Speaker 1: their natural habitat. But and she kind of was like lamenting,
Speaker 1: how now it's like, you know, they got it. They
Speaker 1: wear makeup all the time and stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: so even that type of stuff I appreciated. Just people
Speaker 1: really you really see people in their raw form, yes,
Speaker 1: and now we're just all like beauty queens. So and.
Speaker 2: I'm horrible. But there's another show. It's actually I don't
Speaker 2: think going to be on anymore. And the girls on
Speaker 2: there without their makeup looks crazy, and I call. I
Speaker 2: talked to somebody at their production company, and I said, look,
Speaker 2: do me a favor, like, tell them to put some
Speaker 2: makeup on, Like it's just I don't want to watch it,
Speaker 2: like y'all look a mask. But see, I appreciated the
Speaker 2: Old House. Give me a mix, Give me a mix
Speaker 2: of glam with raw, yeah yeah, yes, don't just get
Speaker 2: me raw the whole episode like new Yeah right.
Speaker 1: It's like Ronnie that they could be in their house
Speaker 1: in their bedroom with no makeup on. Now, if someone
Speaker 1: is filming a scene in their house in their bedroom,
Speaker 1: they have a full on beat, and it's just like,
Speaker 1: that's not it's not realistic, you know, So I just
Speaker 1: missed that, you know, just reality TV. Oh you know
Speaker 1: what clip actually really makes me laugh. It's a Kardashian
Speaker 1: one Old Kardashians who Chloe living in an apartment. Kim
Speaker 1: rolled up in the apartment and start hitting her with
Speaker 1: her handbag, yes, and kept missing. Oh my gosh, that
Speaker 1: thing is hilarious.
Speaker 2: I don't know what Yeah, that was that was before
Speaker 2: all of their bottoc.

Speaker 1: you know that feeling, Yeah, been there, you hit your
Speaker 1: sibling with all types of stuff, and she just started
Speaker 1: hitting her with her bag.
